BURNETT/POLK COUNTIES - As the Leader goes to press this week, the price of gas is at $3.07/gallon (Frederic), producing a reverse sticker shock for area motorists. In some areas of Wisconsin, including Superior, the price has dipped below $3 per gallon, down to $2.97. There are predictions that the price could drop even lower before Thanksgiving. Increased oil production in the United States has been cited as a factor. - with information from northlandnewscenter.com ••• STATEWIDE — There are 773 incorporated cooperatives in Wisconsin that generated an estimated $17.2 billion in annual sales, 35,000 jobs and wages of $1.5 billion. 7KHVH ÀQGLQJV DUH IURP D UHSRUW SXEOLVKHG LQ E\ WKH 8QLYHUVLW\ RI :LVFRQVLQ 0DGLVRQ RQ WKH HFRQRPLF LPSDFWV RI FRRSHUDWLYHV LQ :LVFRQVLQ ,Q :LVFRQVLQ FRRSHUDWLYHV UHSUHVHQWHG SHUFHQW RI WKH MREV LQ WKH VWDWH DQG SHUFHQW RI WKH WRWDO UHYHQXH :LVFRQVLQ·V HFRQRP\ KDV long felt the effects of cooperatives that are in PDQ\ GLIIHUHQW W\SHV RI EXVLQHVVHV DFURVV WKH VWDWH %\ WKH ZD\ WKH\ DUH IRUPHG RZQHG DQG FRQWUROOHG E\ WKHLU PHPEHUV WKH\ DOVR contribute to their local economies.

Managing the land for the common good becomes a new goal for Luck activist Mike Miles | Special to the Leader NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a farmer. It started on my grandmother’s farm where 12 cousins would meet for the summer to help with chores, chase cows when they got out, put up hay, but mostly to hang out at her 40-acre private lake. Not a bad life for a kid from the Chicago suburbs. Why would I want to be in Little League when I could be at the farm? This all started for me in the early 1960s when everything we did was about raising food to eat and sell. The garden was as important as all the work that went into ÀOOLQJ XS WKH PLON EXON WDQN (JJV ZHUH gathered every day, the whole clan gathered to butcher chickens, but the hardest job was battling mosquitoes for every last blueberry back in the swamp. Pies and jam made up for the torture we endured trampling through the thickets. It was a great life. Fifty years later I still love farming. Our garden is much bigger than Nana ever would have put up with, and now when we go back in the woods it is for maple syrup. Our kids always teased us that we weren’t really farmers because we didn’t have animals but we showed them when we got chickens, pigs and steers after they all left for college. :KHQ ZH ÀUVW VWDUWHG GRLQJ URWDWLRQDO grazing six years ago, moving animals through a series of pastures, we thought we were doing it for the steers.

The animals are put in large pastures where they can get fed for free as long as the grass lasts. If they are lucky they may be moved to one or two other pastures as the forage wears out. As forage declines, feeder rings are put into place and the animals are fed hay and maybe grain to make sure they gain weight as the grazing season continues. What happens when pastures are too large for the number of animals that are in them, is the animals tend to eat the plants they like the best over and over again. Their favorites get overgrazed, damaging the root systems, while the plants they don’t like grow and spread. The end result is the best forage is depleted while the worst thrives and matures, shading the new growth that wants to emerge

underneath it but can’t. The pasture gets overgrazed and undergrazed at the same time in different places. Last summer we changed our rotations completely, going from seven larger paddocks where the steers would spend one to three weeks before being moved, to over 120 smaller ones from which the steers were moved every day. Using electric rope fencing and temporary posts, the process was easy and took no more than 10 minutes to do, including moving their water every other day. The results we got were astonishing. When they were in competition with each other for fewer plants, they ate everything they could get. Their manure was more evenly distributed because they grazed the paddock evenly and they didn’t go back to the same water in the

same place every day. We even built a shade canopy on a wagon that we moved with them to reduce heat stress. It literally took the whole summer before they PDGH LW EDFN WR WKH Ă€UVW SDGGRFN WKDW WKH\ had grazed in May. The pastures they returned to were not only fully recovered, they had improved, as undesirable plants had been grazed down and a pasture mix that had been seeded after they were moved had ample time to become established.

Not only did they add fertility with their manure, they scratched through the cow pies looking IRU ODUYDH NHHSLQJ Ă \ SRSXODWLRQV GRZQ while feeding for free. My main focus has become improving the health of soil microorganisms. The animals I use are very good at doing this. Because they eat what they are meant to eat, grass, their fat is chemically different than grain-fed beef, which actually improves the health of people who eat them. Grass-fed beef also brings a good price because the demand for it is so high. I currently have two steers in the locker at Van Meter’s in Luck that are 710 and 834 pounds hanging weight and they DUH SHUFHQW JUDVV IHG DQG Ă€QLVKHG These are huge animals! Tim Van Meter knows good beef when he sees it and he commented that my attempts at raising JUDVV IHG EHHI KDG FUHDWHG ´D Ă€QLVK WKDW everyone is looking for. They’re beautiful.â€? He also acknowledged, “You have your grazing down to a science.â€? There is a lot of science behind this but it is going to be years before we see the full effect of building soil.

6DYRU\ V WKHRU\ The theory behind this practice comes from Allan Savory, a British ecologist raised in Africa who helped manage wildlife reserves in Zimbabwe. The idea is to mimic herd migrations from a time before civilization got in the way of ruminant animals freely moving through the great savannas. Thousands of animals moved in herds eating everything in sight, spreading manure, trampling plant refuse into the ground. Then they would leave, moving onto other locations, not returning for months at a time. This is how soil was built for thousands of years in the savannas of Africa, the steppes of Asia, and the great plains of the Americas. When agriculture developed 10,000 years ago this balance was disturbed by farmers who plowed the land for annual grain crops, wore the soil out, and then moved on to the next location to do it all again. Unlike the great herds of ruminants whose movement fed soil microorganisms through their activities, farmers destroyed soil health and created deserts by causing the loss of 50-70 percent of organic material (soil carbon), somewhere in the vicinity of 80 billion tons of carbon worldwide.

According to Dr. Rattan Lal, a soil biologist at Ohio State University, up to 30 percent of carbon emissions entering the atmosphere every year come from land misuse. Savory insists that using modern tools, including portable electric fence, these ancient grazing patterns can still be used to rebuild soil.

$JULFXOWXUDO URFN VWDUV Grazers and ranchers are in the best position to make a positive impact on improving soil health. Through the use of multispecies cover crops and heavy stock density grazing, farmers such as Gabe Brown in North Dakota, Joel Salatin in Virginia and Abe Collins in Vermont have become agricultural rock stars by buildLQJ VRLO TXDOLW\ DV WKHLU ÀUVW SULRULW\ 7KH\ have shown that feeding soil microorganLVPV FDQ EH ERWK SURÀWDEOH IRU VDOHV DQG proactive in healing the planet by turning their farms into carbon dioxide vacuum cleaners. Their only inputs are seeds, which are drilled using no-till techniques, and cattle that constantly remove the tops of plants, stimulating new growth both in roots and above ground while adding free fertilizer. These practices have been shown to increase soil carbon from 1 to 4-8 percent in years, not decades. An obvious side EHQHÀW LV WKH DELOLW\ RI ZDWHU WR LQÀOWUDWH quicker and deeper than in marginal soils. Brown, who lives in a climate where it only rains 14 inches per year, has seen ZDWHU LQÀOWUDWLRQ JR IURP LQFK SHU KRXU to 8 inches per hour using these techniques. With this amount of water retention, drought becomes less of a concern. Degraded soil affects the water cycle as much as it does the carbon cycle. Water that used to soak into the ground is running off into the oceans, creating dead zones and raising sea levels. Fully 25 percent of the annual rise in sea levels can be attributed to this kind of runoff.

When the endless war began, I ran all over the planet VHDUFKLQJ IRU SODFHV ZKHUH ZH FRXOG Ă€QG common ground with each other for the sake of our children’s futures. Now the most important thing I can think of doing is putting the carbon cycle back in balance both to feed the world and cool it back down to manageable levels. During the dust-bowl years President Franklin Roosevelt said, “A nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.â€? This is a battle I want to be a part of. It is the least I can do as someone who manages land for the common good. I have become a soil carbon farmer. 0HDW ELUGV DUH PRYHG LQ WKHLU SHQ HYHU\ GD\ WR IUHVK JUDVV DQG EXJV 7KH IHUWLOLW\ WKH\ DGG LV REYLRXV DV WKH DUHDV WKH\ PRYH WKURXJK DUH FRPSOHWHO\ OXVK ZLWK JURZWK health all over the continent. It is called key lining and there are several ways that this technique can be used. The overriding principle is to make use of all the rain that falls on the land before it runs off. By surveying along contour lines at a 1-percent downhill grade, it is actually possible to move water from the wettest parts of the land to the driest parts where it can eventually soak in. After the key lines are determined, a trench and berm, known as swales, are plowed in along the contours that redistribute rainfall. Along the swales in areas that have substantially increased soil moisture, woody perennials, fruit and nut trees and shrubs, are planted. These plants can be used either for cash crops or feed for grazing chickens or pigs. Using plants that mature at different heights, harvesting becomes vertical instead of one level. Raspberries, hazelnuts, apple trees, and chestnuts are examples of vertical integration along the swales. The possibilities are endless. Another element of water redistribution is key-line plowing. This involves the use of a subsoiler which cuts an 18-inch-deep slit along contours roughly 4-6 feet apart. $V UDLQIDOO VKHHWV GRZQ WKH VORSH RI D Ă€HOG it hits the slits, which slow down the runoff while simultaneously spreading it out KRUL]RQWDOO\ $V ZDWHU Ă RZV LQWR WKH VOLWV

it combines with oxygen, organic material and soil microorganisms, building compost from the bottom of the slit upward. Mark Shepard, a pioneer in permaculture techniques right here in Wisconsin, has turned hardpan clay into loam in a matter of years. The areas in between the swales are known as alleys and can be used to plant conventional row crops or, as in our case, be used for grazing. The addition of nut and fruit trees can be multipurposed, using them as cash crops for sale or feed as well as shade for grazing animals. The DGGLWLRQ RI WUHHV LQWR ÀHOGV WKDW DUH XVHG for grazing is called silvopasture, which the USDA is encouraging to improve both grazing and forestry products. Another way to do silvopasture is to thin the canopy in existing woodlots while planting forage crops in the open areas between trees. Using temporary electric fence to rotate animals through these areas improves the health of both the forest and the forage. It is a win-win situation for both plants and animals.

hey (the climate experts) are now saying the ongoing California drought is just one more sign of climate change. Using computer simulations and a lot of complicated math, climate scientist Noah Diffenbaugh of Stanford University and his colleagues have determined that greenhouse gases are responsible for diverting storms away from California, leaving 82 percent of the state in extreme to exceptional drought. Diffenbaugh says “Extreme atmospheric high pressure in this region, which is strongly linked to unusually low precipitation in California, is much more likely to occur today than prior to the emission of greenhouse gases that began during the industrial revolution in the 1800s.� He says the lack of rain is the result of what weather scientists call a “Triple R� blocking ridge of atmospheric pressure, otherwise known as

Not for the faint of heart he most common surgical proce&ROG WXUNH\ T dure in America is cataract surgery. The number one cosmetic surgery in America is breast augmentation. If we want to save money on health care perhaps if we didn’t do so many eye surgeries we wouldn’t have to do so many cosmetic surgeries to help us all look better. However the most common procedure in any health care facility today is something a bit more subtle. The wallet biopsy is deftly performed by any well-trained receptionist as you are checking in for your appointment. Without a successful wallet biopsy you likely wouldn’t make it inside the exam room door.

plain the growth and now record levels of Antarctic sea ice. While “great minds� debate the issue of climate change, what we do know is the world population is expected to reach 9 billion people over the next 36 years and feeding them will require at least a 60-percent increase in farm production. With or without the impact of climate change, increasing production that much is going to be a real challenge. Thankfully, instead of debating if and when climate change will impact our food supply, world leaders are taking steps to address the potential impact of a changing climate. As a result of a meeting of international leaders eight months ago in South Africa, The Global Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture has been launched with the goal of a “sustainable path to food security.� The

proposed solutions include better crops and livestock that can tolerate extreme KHDW GURXJKW DQG Ă RRGV DORQJ ZLWK methods to reduce agricultural greenhouse gases. Twenty years ago planting soybeans and corn in North Dakota was unheard of. But with a shift in weather and development of high-tech seed, corn and beans have become big crops in the region. Seed development has allowed the “corn beltâ€? to move much farther north than anyone would have expected. Adapting to change is nothing new for farmers.

grit. As incredible as these stories are, I have found others that will curl your toes. Dr. Leonid Rogosvwas was a Soviet physician stationed in Antarctica. When he recognized the signs of appendicitis, rather than waiting for the appendix to burst and possibly cause sepsis and death, he performed surgery on himself. With the help of the meteorologist he successfully removed his own appendix. Apparently he passed out partway through the surgery but awakened and was able to complete the operation. The doctor recovered and was back on the job in two weeks but the meteorologist was a bit foggy. Workmen’s comp denied the claim. I once knew a farmer who couldn’t urinate so he used a length of gas line from the farm supply story to relieve his distended bladder. For 20 years this worked, until he ended up in the hospital with a life-threatening infection. However a blacksmith from the Netherlands took this one step further. Joannes Letheaus, a blacksmith who lived circa 1620, suffered from a large bladGHU VWRQH 6HQGLQJ KLV ZLIH WR WKH ÀVK market, he engaged the assistance of his brother. Using a specially prepared knife which he himself made, he held his scrotum to the side and with the knife he made an incision that he con-

tinually enlarged until he was able to remove a stone the size of a hen’s egg. Once the object of his torment was deOLYHUHG KH VHQW KLV EURWKHU WR ÀQG VRPHone to stitch him together. Whether he lived a long and productive life from that moment onward was never revealed but he did get rid of the stone. The most amazing self-surgery occurred in 2000 and was performed by a 40-year-old mother of seven in a rural Mexican village. Alone in her rural home she went into labor. After nearly 12 hours of painful labor and no child she took matters into her own hands, literally. Taking three drinks of strong liquor, she used a large kitchen knife and performed a C-section on herself. $IWHU QHDUO\ DQ KRXU VKH ÀQDOO\ UHDFKHG into her own uterus and pulled out a living baby boy.

She had further surgery to repair WKH GDPDJH VKH KDG LQà LFWHG XSRQ KHUself but she made a full and complete recovery.

During this project she got a taste of working with a professional theater director, which may have inspired her to move on to study theater in college at UW-River Falls. The university provided Olsen a well-rounded theater education. She studied directing, design and performance. Since then, Olsen has had the opportunity to study with Augusto Boal, Heart of the Beast Theatre and Playback Theatre. Olsen’s full schedule of activity takes place both inside and outside of the theater. Aside from serving on Festival’s Theatre Action Group, Olsen has been working with the city of St. Croix Falls to plan the restoration of the Civic Auditorium, the building Festival Theatre calls home. She wears many hats as a consultant for various nontheater projects she has been working on with organizations such as the St. Croix Valley Foundation with the National Heritage Area, Northwest Passage, Belwin Conservancy and AKA

Remembering Charlotte

Sherill Summer | Staff writer WEBSTER - Close friends of the late Charlotte Heidel gathered at the Larson Family Public Library on Wednesday, Oct. 8, for the unveiling of a quilted wall hanging dedicated in her memory. ,W ZDV D Ă€WWLQJ WLPH WR KRQRU &KDUORWWH¡V memory. Wednesday morning is children’s story hour at the library and mixed in with those gathered to remember Charlotte were children and parents gathered for story hour. Charlotte’s legacy extends well beyond the library and she is remembered elsewhere, too. She was an English teacher in Michigan prior to her retirement, and there she was honored as Outstanding Person in Education and as one of Michigan’s top 20 teachers in 1996. She played a vital role at Trinity Lutheran Church in Falun, where her husband, Carl, is pastor. But the quilted wall hanging now permanently installed at the library remembers her role with the library. There she

led the children’s story hour, helped develop an early literacy reading program at the library and obtained important funding to enable the early literacy reading program to grow. She was passionate about reaching parents and encouraging them to instill the love of books in their children. For all of these accomplishments at the library, the Friends of the Larsen Family Public Library commissioned the memorial wall hanging. Local quilter Carole Fure pieced and quilted the wall hanging. Fure, close friend Lois Hanson and President of the Friends of the Public Library Verla Johansson collaborated on the design of the quilt.

Queen Charlotte’s Crown was chosen as the background pattern. Charlotte’s VRIW DQG ZDUP SHUVRQDOLW\ LV UHà HFWHG in the pastel background fabric. Against the background are gathered children engaged in a book. Book characters are shown springing to life and spilling out of the book pages. A quilted spider’s web holds the quilt together. Book characters springing to life was recognized as the perfect metaphor for Charlotte’s memorial; her passion for children’s story hour and early literacy sprang into action and spilled out into the memories of those who knew her.

Co-op month celebrated at Polk-Burnett Area cooperatives come together Gregg Westigard | Staff writer CENTURIA – October is National Co-op Month, and a number of area cooperatives joined together Friday, Oct. 10, at Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative to share their stories with the 1,300 PolkBurnett member-owners gathered for member-appreciation open house. Those members enjoyed a meal served by PolkBurnett Board members and heard the story of the range of local co-ops, mutuals and credit unions owned by local residents. The participants included the Intercounty Cooperative Publishing Association, publisher of the Leader, the Natural Alternative food co-op in Luck, RCU Credit Union and three mutual insurance companies, Farmington, Luck and Trade Lake mutuals. The common theme of all was Co-ops Are Everywhere.

some of the oldest area businesses, the town mutuals, which were all founded

around 1880, and some of the newest such as artZ Gallery in Amery. The Atlas, Cushing and Countryside cooperatives provide farm supplies, feed, gasoline and propane to their members and the public. Farmers market their milk through Land O’ Lakes and Burnett Dairy co-ops and the latter makes prizewinning cheese. The Indianhead, Westconsin and RCU credit unions are all owned by their depositors. Polk-Burnett and the ICCPA were both established in the 1930s to meet the needs of local residents, bringing electricity into their homes and local news into their lives. The various cooperatives were brought together by the Local Cooperative Alliance, a group coming together to build cooperation among co-ops, one of the core co-op principles, and spread the word that cooperatives are part of the buy local movement. The alliance has the theme Cooperatives Build A Better World and is working on more ways to make cooperatives stronger in the area.

&+85&+ 1(:6 Church celebrates 110 years BALSAM LAKE - On Sunday Oct. 12, East Balsam Baptist Church celebrated their 110-year anniversary. The current and 14th pastor, Gabe Brennan, kicked off the service with a greeting and welcome to over 100 people in attendance. The service included the singing of two well-known hymns, “How Great Thou Art� and “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,� as well as a popular Swedish hymn called “Children of the Heavenly Father.� Adam Majeske, a current deacon in training, read Psalm 145, an account of the goodness and faithfulness of God in all generations. This was followed by a slide show that detailed the 110-year history of the

church. Some highlights included the planting of East Balsam over 100 years ago by a few Jesus-loving Swedish immigrants, the building of the old church – now a beautiful, yellow house – the building of the parsonage, the beginning of VBS, the baptisms of current members and the construction of the new building where the church now meets.

The celebration continued into the fellowship hall with a meal.

Many things have changed at East Balsam, but one thing has not. The church still preaches the gospel of grace, that salvation is found in Jesus alone, the one true shepherd of his sheep who, alone, is worthy of our worship. To him be the glory today, tomorrow and forever. – submitted

Harley Ervin Johansen Harley Johansen, professor of geography at the University of Idaho, died suddenly of pneumonia on Aug. 28, 2014. He had been receiving treatment to cure myelodyplastic syndrome, commonly known as MDS, for the past year. He was born to Ervin and Esther (Holdt) Johansen in 1941 and grew up in a Danish-American community, West Denmark, outside of Luck, Wis. He attended the East Laketown Country School until it burned. He then attended school in Luck and graduated from Luck High School in 1960. His parents owned and operated a dairy farm on CTH N, and from an early age he worked alongside his siblings helping with the farm duties. His city-born children loved to hear his stories about growing up on a farm milking cows before and after school, picking big URFNV RXW RI WKH Ă€HOGV LQ WKH VSULQJ KHOSLQJ VDZ ORJV LQWR lumber at the family-run sawmill, driving a tractor at the age of 6, throwing hay bales onto big wagons, repairing fences and “making woodâ€? to heat the house.

Harley described his life on the farm and schooling in Luck as “ idealâ€? and often remarked that he felt very fortunate to have had such a rich childhood. After high school he attended Grandview College in Des Moines, Iowa, for one year. He then worked in the construction trade in Michigan, Florida and Minnesota before returning to school at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls. There he met and married Nancy Grimm. At River Falls he earned a degree in geography and then earned master’s and Ph.D. degrees in geography from UW-Madison. He said that looking back he realized what great high school teachers he had and how they gave him the skills to later become a successful academic. His career in university teaching, administration and geographic research began at UW-Oshkosh. He then spent eight years at West Virginia University, Morganton, W.Va. In 1981 he took a position at the University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, where he was the geography department head for over 30 years. He was a member of the UI faculty at the time of his death. His research projects took him frequently to Finland where, along with research, he was a docent at Joensuu University and lectured and did research with other Finnish colleagues. He also worked in Sweden, Norway, Russia, Estonia and Macedonia. He authored many pubOLFDWLRQV LQ VFLHQWLĂ€F MRXUQDOV DQG D ERRN RQ FKDQJHV WKDW occurred in American small towns after WWII.

Harley was an enthusiastic cyclist and skier and was very involved in the family-run weaving business. He loved any and all activities that included his family. He was proud of his Danish heritage and often visited the places in Denmark from where his ancestors immigrated. He was interested in the teachings of the Danish theologian and educator N.F.S. Grundtvig and visited many of the Scandinavian folk schools developed by his followers in the mid-19th century. Harley was preceded in death by his parents, Ervin and Esther Johansen. He is survived by his wife, Nancy; son, Peder; daughter, Ingrid (Ben Anderson); granddaughters, Johanna and Klara Anderson; sister, Amy Ripberger; brother, Harry (Christine Drennan); aunt, Evelyn Johansen; and many cousins.

Poplar leaves of golden hue Cling, tenacious, a stubborn few, Till frost assaults, then life-stems die. Like rain, they fall with wind-swept sigh.

n spite of knowing what will follow, I welcome fall: vivid colors of turning leaves, the pungent scent of decaying foliage, the crunch of leaves underfoot. Maple, aspen and others shower to earth in the slightest breeze, sometimes leaving a few to cling to their branches even during hard winds. They spin round and round on their stems, pummeled by late fall gales. During the

calm they hang limply. But for many weeks they remain steadfastly fastened to their host branch, like clinging vines. Usually a clinging vine refers to adults who cling too closely to their mates, or children to their parents. They bombard their “host� with questions: Where are you going? Where have you been? Take me with you. I can’t bear to be without you. Clinging vines tend

and forthcoming is one of the most helpful things they can do for their adopted kids. It does not negate the fact that he is your son and a member of your family. If you’d like additional help navigating these waters, please call our counseling team for a free consultation. Also, consider two excellent books on this subject: “Handbook on Thriving as an Adoptive Family: Real-Life Solutions to Common Challengesâ€? by David and Renee Sanford, and “Before You Were Mine: Discovering Your Adopted Child’s Lifestoryâ€? by Susan TeBos and Carissa Woodwyk. ••• Q: Our teenage daughter is out of control. She’s disrespectful to us and is causing problems in school. She’s never been like this before. It’s so out of character for her. We try to talk to her and she just says there’s nothing wrong. We’re at our breaking point and feel so helpless. Is it time for counseling? Dr. Greg Smalley, vice president, Family Ministries: We often hear from weary parents who have reached the end of their rope with a strong-willed adolescent. You’re not alone. When it comes to her behavior, it’s critical that you lay out your expectations in advance and make sure that your daughter understands them. The consequences

Q: We adopted our son at birth and have raised him in a loving home. Now that he’s a teenager, he’s obsessed with the fact that he’s adopted. When he gets angry, he yells, “You aren’t my real parents!� We are devastated because we love him so much and want him to know that this is his real family. It’s so complicated because he doesn’t know his birth parents. How can we help him? Jim: Our team that oversees Focus on the Family’s Orphan Care Initiative has written extensively about the challenges adoptive parents face. They recommend that parents do not become hurt, discouraged or threatened when their kids express a desire for contact with their birth parents. You mentioned that your son “doesn’t know his birth parents,� but is there any information you might be able to give him in that regard? This will, of course, depend greatly upon your own situation and the circumstances of the adoption. But in general, the adoption should not be an off-limits topic with your son. Allow him to ask questions. Again, our adoption team advises parents that being open, honest

to smother the affections of those they cling to, robbing them of the need for their own emotional and physical space. If not to someone, we might be tempted to cling stubbornly to alcohol, drugs, shopping, TV, hobbies, even church. Clinging to someone or something is not emotionally healthy. At worst, it causes us to be self-centered instead of Christ-centered. The healthy type of clinging is about which Jesus speaks in John, Chapter 15. “I am the vine, you area the branches. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing.� (Verse 5) Like the leaf clinging tenaciously to its branch, we can cling to him, assured that he will give us the necessary strength and nourishment to

grow physically, emotionally and especially spiritually. As well, he promises us abundant joy and peace. Abiding in Christ, clinging to him, will keep us happily connected to him, whether we’re being pummeled by life’s winds or enjoying its calm. Lord, with one cleansing breath like the frost of winter, your spirit can loosen our hold on every sin we foolishly cling to. We recognize you as the only one who can give us what we truly need and what will bring us lasting and abundant love, joy and peace. Help us to abide in you just as a tenacious leaf clings to its branch. In Jesus’ name, amen. Mrs. Bair may be reached at sallybair@ gmail.com.
