Stories from the NW Wisconsin community

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE — The world keeps getting smaller, which means that it’s easier and easier to connect with and help people who are thousands of miles away. For Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church in Balsam Lake, that has meant a connection with Suriname, a country on the northeast coast of South America that is a roughly the size of Wisconsin. The population, however, is about one-tenth that of Wisconsin. Earlier this fall, said Pastor Diane Norstad of Faith Evangelical, she and other church families hosted the presiding president of the Lutheran Church in Suriname and her daughter. The Reverend Marjory Slagtand and Raissa were in this country dropping another daughter, Sarah, off at Augsburg College. The position of presiding president in Suriname corresponds with that of presiding Bishop in the ELCA. Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church’s connection with the South American nation goes back several years, to when the church began supporting Kevin Jacobson, a missionary pastor, to Suriname. Jacobson, a Wisconsin native, has been serving in Suriname since 2007. He has visited Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church and happens to be the pastor of the church where Slagtand and her family attend. “When Pastor Marjory was making her plans to b ring Sarah to Augsburg College,â€? said Norstad, “Pastor Kevin made the connection to Balsam Lake.â€? The church in Balsam Lake sort of “adoptedâ€? Sarah, said Norstad, collecting the items she would need for her dorm room and transitioning to Augsburg College. “Her mom was really overwhelmed,â€? said Norstad. “But we’re all mommas and daddies and we know what it’s like.â€? Norstad’s own daughter graduated from Augsburg last spring, so the connection and support was strengthened through that relationship as well. Life for teenagers — or anyone — in Suriname is different than that in America, Norstad indicated. Only for WKH SDVW Ă€YH \HDUV KDV WKH VPDOO QDWLRQ EHHQ SROLWLFDOO\ stable. Because of the historic instability, said Norstad, young people in Suriname take very seriously their future role in shaping the nation. Sarah, who received a scholarship to Augsburg, will be studying business and plans to

Raissa is pursuing a career in environmental studies in Suriname. About 95 percent of the land in the country is undeveloped, said Norstad, but there are few regulations protecting the natural resources. “Both daughters want to help their country,� said Norstad. “They are looking at, ‘What can we do to stabilize our country?’ It’s so different from our teenagers.� Faith’s connection with Suriname, said Norstad, is an example of how the larger Evangelical Lutheran Church is working to make a difference around the world. “The connection with Suriname is one way Faith looks to extend our understanding of our Christian family well beyond the borders of Balsam Lake,� she said. “What many don’t realize is that the Evangelical Lu-

theran Churches are alive and well around our globe. Together we walk in faith, and through organizations such as the Lutheran World Federation goals are accomplished that cannot be accomplished alone.� One example of this, she said, is the ECLA Malaria Campaign, which has raised $15 million to alleviate malaria in Africa. For every $30 raised, said Norstad, a life is saved, so by working together the ECLA has saved many lives and slowed the rate of malaria in central Africa. Pastor Marjory and Raissa were able to spend several weeks in this area after getting Sarah settled. They enjoyed pontoon rides, church dinners, and site seeing in the area.

where Audubon met me. As you may or may not know, he shot and ate many of the birds he painted. He reported in his journals that while retrieving the goose, turning it over, he discovered me. Startled, Audubon made his erroneous remark about hummingbirds hitching a ride via geese during their migration over the Gulf. I was the only one, far as I know. I was one beautiful hummingbird, as Audubon wrote in his notes. The brilliant, iridescent colors of my plumage are caused by the structures of certain feathers. Like any diffraction, or prism, these structures split light into its component colors, and only certain frequencies are refracted back to the viewer. The resulting colors are much more vivid and iridescent than those of birds with only pigmented feathers. Everyone knows gorgeous and, historically, we have been killed for our feathers. And speaking of historical, an early Spanish report to Queen Isabella claimed that hummingbirds are a cross between a bird and an insect. Ah, memories! Where would Wanda be without them?

It’s a wrap

T

he 2015 summer tour season at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park came to a rousing conclusion last week with the visit of over 300 kids on two days. They were taking part in the annual school marathon the site calls its Dagwaging event. No, it’s not a dog tail-wagging contest. Dagwaging is the Ojibwe word for autumn and the forts crew, augmented by several volunteer re-enactors, use the event each year to wind down the season’s educational activities. The re-enactors, many of whom also take part in the summer rendezvous and other events at the site, will be showcasing the skills and knowledge needed to survive during the time of the original Forts Folle Avoine traders. Interestingly, what marks the end of the 2015 season takes place at the beginning of the original trading cycle. During its time as a functioning trading post, from 1802-05, the place was used only in fall, winter and spring. Summers were spent traveling by canoe with the prior season’s furs to Lake Superior’s Grand Portage, where new trade goods had been forwarded several thousand miles from Montreal, Canada. Eventually the furs obtained from the area’s Ojibwe hunters were sent via sailing ship to Europe’s fur capitals to be auctioned to fur processors for clothing and other items. Key, of course, was the beaver, valued for its advantage in fashioning stiff, elegant top hats. The Dagwaging activities are built

These events also help youth and families connect to the variety of fun and educational experiences available through 4-H Youth Development. “4-H has a great reputation even though many people don’t know it’s available in towns, suburbs and large cities across Wisconsin,� says Wisconsin 4-H Youth Development Program Director Dale Leidheiser. “4-H offers robotics, science, photography and dozens of other activities designed for children no matter where they live?� Wisconsin 4-H Youth Development programs provide fun, hands-on learning in a safe, welcoming atmosphere, giving

youth the support and space they need to master the necessary skills for future success. “Children today will have jobs and careers that haven’t yet been invented,� Leidheiser says. “4-H will develop the life skills transferable to any career so they can learn, adapt and thrive whatever the future holds.� Many 4-H clubs and groups around the state will also be participating in the 4-H National Youth Science Day experiment on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Every year, 4-H’ers around the nation practice their critical thinking and problem-solving skills with a different experiment. This

year, youth with explore physics, speed and safety with Motion Commotion, an experiment from Oregon State University Cooperative Extension that uses toy cars to simulate a speeding car collision and distracted driving. Many Polk County Clubs will participate in this experiment with teen 4-H ambassadors leading the activity.

At the various stations, the school groups are presented with a variety of demonstrations, ranging from bread making in an outdoor clay oven to leather working, as well as other woodland skills of fur trade times. Followed by a Cub Scout pack camping over the weekend, the Dagwaging/autumn event wraps up the visiting season. Following a historically themed dinner in October, the ghosts take over the site again. You may use your imagination to ÀOO RXW WKH GHWDLOV While the historical re-enactments are ended, the site turns its attention to the Christmas event coming up this year on Dec. 5, 6 and 12.

winter celebration has become a popular family-friendly affair including sleigh rides and other assorted activities of the season. Elves and other assorted strange characters will be cavorting, so be aware. While gnomes do good deeds and don’t need credit, these elves are ridiculous attention grabbers. The biggest of them makes all sorts of promises and isn’t even running for president. Well, alright, just don’t bother the ghosts. The site’s visitors center will be open during the winter, and each Wednesday the Harris Palmer Library welcomes guests interested in research purtaining mostly to Burnett County history.

Choir opportunity GRANTSBURG - The Grantsburg Chorale has been invited to sing in the Cathedral Series of the Manhattan Concert Productions. The chorale will travel by bus to Chicago to perform at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, in downtown Chicago. The group will be part of a large choir that will perform music written and directed by Dr. RenÊ Clausen. Clausen is professor of music at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn., and has served as conductor of The Concordia choir since 1986. He is the artistic director of the Emmy Award-winning Concordia Christmas Concerts, which are frequently featured by PBS stations throughout the nation. Clausen is a renowned composer and arranger, having written more than 100 commissioned compositions for organizations such as The King’s Singers, Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the American Choral Directors

Association. He is also a frequent guest conductor, composer-in-residence, clinician and lecturer. Clausen has conducted such works as Mozart’s Requiem, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Brahms’ Requiem, Britten’s War Requiem and several of his own works including “Gloria� – in three movements. On several occasions, Clausen has conducted at Lincoln Center and at Carnegie Hall. Any singer who is interested in being part of this outstanding choral experience should contact chorale director Linda Benge at Grantsburg High School, or come to the Sunday evening rehearsals, which start at 7 p.m. in the high school music room. Anyone is welcome to join the group for the touring concert even if you have not previously sung with the Grantsburg Chorale. - submitted

&RQQHFWLRQV Olivia Kopecky Oct. 4-10 is National 4-H Week. This means that youth and volunteers show their 4-H spirit around the country through service learning projects, banners, membership drives and promotional window displays. This year, 4-H National Youth Science Day was Oct. 7. NYSD’s focus this year was on physics, speed and safety. This youth-led science experiment is the world’s largest of its kind and serves as a hands-on educational tool. Make sure to look around town for our window displays in Burnett County created by our young leaders. It is easy to connect to the clover because 4-H grows here. 7KH 2UDQJH + &OXE V QHZO\ HOHFWHG FOXE RIILFHUV IRU WKH \HDU 3KRWR VXEPLW WHG

Dry conditions during the week leading up to the event ensured a fast, challenging course, unlike many cyclocross races that often end up as muddy, slow events, requiring riders to change to cleaner bikes midrace, when the mud builds up and brakes and gears quit working. Racers competed for merchandise awards, apples from Baker Orchard and cash prizes in 18 divisions.

y dad smoked from age 14 until his 70th birthday. He lived to be 95. My mom was 97 when she died. They took no vitamins, ate a diet typical of most Americans and exercised little. However, their hearts were healthy to the end, probably because of their genetic makeup. Yet we know that diet, exercise and living a stress-free life also can determine the health of our hearts. We refer to the heart in ways other than the physical sense. We consider a kind person as good-hearted, bighearted or one who has a heart of gold. We learn we should follow our heart, have a change of heart or open our heart. We can lose heart, be sick at heart

My granddaughter is constrained to an infant seat to keep her from getting into these messes even though she’s old enough to start crawling. Should I express my concerns over these troubling health conditions? Jim: In most cases it’s best for grandparents to keep their advice to themselves until asked. But if the situation is as unhealthy as you’ve described, it may be time to intervene. So what can you do? It might be a good idea to begin by enlisting the help of another adult, preferably someone your son likes and respects, who can join you in advocating for your granddaughter. Raise the subject gently but as straightforwardly as possible.

Instead, if ZH DOORZ RXU KHDUW WR EH Ă€OOHG ZLWK VHOI love and other sin, it will be spiritually weak, develop a thin covering and easily become shriveled.

)RFXV RQ WKH IDPLO\ Jim Daly major problems related to teens and parental sarcasm. First, sarcasm can hurt feelings, and words uttered in a “humorous moment� can cause ongoing pain later. You don’t necessarily need to place an all-out moratorium on playful sarcasm, but there should be boundaries. Give your children the right to tell you when it bothers them. The second pitfall is more subtle. Sarcasm can mask sensitive or vulnerable feelings. Imagine a father watching his lovely 16-year-old daughter come downstairs. He might say, “Honey, you look beautiful tonight.� Or, if he tends to be sarcastic, he might quip, “Man, you were such an ugly little girl!

Help us, through your Spirit, to develop clean, loving hearts for you and for those around us. In Jesus’ name, amen. Mrs. Bair may be reached at sallybair@ gmail.com.

and it comes back at you from your teen, you’ll probably call it “disrespectful.â€? It never hurts to say what you mean and mean what you say. After all, a teen’s world is tough enough.
