Another  perfect  7-­0  performance  raised  the  Prediction  King’s  record  to  34-­8.  That’s  an  81-­percent  success  rate  for  the  season.  â€œAnd  most  of  the  matchups   for  this  week  seem  easy  to  forecast.   This  could  be  another  perfecto,â€?  he  said  Tuesday  morning  while  scraping  fat  from  a  bearskin  in  preparation  for  fashioning  a  new  rug.  Â

This  week’s  predictions:

The Swami THE SWAMI

PREDICTS

Grantsburg  49,  St.  Croix  Falls  13  â€“  No  team  can  slow  the  Pirates’  offense. Unity   26,  Flambeau   6  â€“  The  Eagles  continue  their  drive  to  the  playoffs. Prairie  Farm  54,  Siren  27  â€“  The   perennial  powerhouse  Panthers  prevail. Luck   50,  Winter  12  â€“  The  Cardinals  again  graciously  â€œcall  off  the  dogs.â€? Webster  19,  Cameron  14  â€“  The  hard-­hitting  Tigers  surprise  the  Comets Pepin-­Alma  56,  Shell  Lake   6  â€“  Seems  like  only  yesterday  when  the  Lakers  were  Lakeland  Conference  kingpins. Frederic  27,  Clear  Lake  12  â€“  A  satisfying  nonconference  win  versus  a  quality  opponent. The  Swami  answers  all  emails  and  can  be  reached  at  predictionking@yahoo.com.   And  why  not  â€œfriendâ€?  him  on  Facebook?

By now, you are aware that NorthernBridges is no longer the familycare provider for the region. As a result, there is no reason for NorthernBridges to continue in existence as a long-term care district. Please find enclosed a memorandum explaining the statutory dissolution process mandated by Wis. Stat. § 46.2895. Please also find enclosed a template resolution that we have prepared for your consideration that authorizes the dissolution. If you have any questions surrounding the dissolution process, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A Buddhist priest brings Buddhist calm to a desecrated statue

Sherill Summer| Staff writer

WEBSTER - There are about 3.8 million Buddhists in North America according to a 2012 Pew Research study. This equals about 1 percent of the population. As most Buddhists are somewhat concentrated on North America’s East or West Coast, Buddhists and Buddha statues in this region of the country are few and far between. So how does the other 99 percent of the population react to Buddha statues?

The perpetrator was never found. Lucy Basler had discovered the desecration and reported the incident to the sheriff’s department. Lucy and her husband, Pat Basler, had admired the land that is now the Sacred Grove long before they had an opportunity to purchase it in 1999. They felt it was a quiet and special land, and they built a labyrinth on the land to add to these qualities. Other people came to walk the labyrinth and the paths on the property. From this beginning, the Sacred Grove as it is today evolved.

He explained that the Buddha statue is not an idol because it only represents that enlightened state that all beings can obtain.

But how to erase any negative energy? How to heal? How to bring back the sacredness of the place? These were all concerns of the Baslers and others on the Sacred Grove board. It was decided that a Buddhist priest would be a good way to address the concerns and right any wrong the desecration had caused. Lama Yeshe is the resident lama at the Hay River KTC Meditation Center near Ridgeland in Dunn County (Buddhist priests in Tibet and Mongolia are called lamas). He agreed to bless the Buddha statue during a ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 18, at the Sacred Grove. The ceremony was in two parts: there were prayers and aspirations recited in chanted Tibetan because Lama Yeshe follows the Tibetan branch of Buddhism, and a short talk afterward about what had happened to this Buddha statue.

Meryl Walsten couldn’t believe I was going to St. Paul, Minn., in a cattle truck. Really? It was June, 1957; I had just graduated from Frederic High School and had an appointment for a job interview at American Hoist and Derrick. My dad was shipping cattle to South St. Paul that day in Joe Englehart’s truck. When selling a lot of animals, Joe liked Dad to ride with to see them sold. Dad mentioned they would drive by AH&D on the way to the stockyards – I should give Joe a call. “No problem, I’ll be there at 6 a.m.â€? was his response. That night, with what I had learned in R.P.

espite the efforts of the livestock and poultry industries to educate consumers, a lot of folks are turning to animal protection organizations as a primary source for information about how farm animals are raised. Purdue University researchers conducted an online survey of U.S. households to measure the level of concern for animal welfare, with a focus on pork production. They found consumers are relying on groups such as Humane Society of the United States and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to stay informed. While over half of the consumers said they didn’t have a source for animal welfare information, over 40 percent said they rely on the animal rights groups. They discovered measurable changes in eating habits based on the information they received, with 14 percent of those surveyed saying they cut back on pork consumption, with an average reduction of 56 percent.

Two activist groups objected, saying it would force D VLJQLÀFDQW QXPEHU RI VPDOO IDUPHUV out of business. The proposal was withdrawn. We in the United States have faced that choice and decided to encourage modern agricultural practices, which have resulted in concentration of production and the elimination of most small farmers. Are we wrong or right to have chosen technology over status quo? England can no longer feed itself — 60 million people in a country the size of Mississippi with an average rainfall of approximately 25 inches. The government micromanages agriculture.

Wisconsin phone program helps the hearing impaired STATEWIDE - Have you ever struggled to hear on regular telephone? It happens all the time to people who are experiencing age-related hearing loss or hearing loss related to prolonged exposure to loud sounds. Communication is such an important aspect of our lives that this situation should not be ignored. Fortunately, the state of Wisconsin operates the Telephone Equipment Purchase Program, and it’s making a difference for thousands of people across the state.

TEPP is administered through the Public Service Commission and funded by a Wisconsin telephone user fee known as the Universal Service Fund. Most people have probably noted the USF charge on their phone bill but never knew its purpose. In effect, this is a prepaid program that people are allowed to access if they struggle to communicate on a normal telephone. The TEPP program will provide vouchers for telephone equipment given that the following applicant requirements are met: Wisconsin residency, a voluntary

declaration of hearing loss or no receipt of TEPP funding within the last three years. There are no age or income restrictions. The telephones offered are rich in features that enable those with hearing loss to communicate over the phone. These features include hearing aid compatibility, DPSOLĂ€HG YROXPH HQULFKHG WRQH FRQWUROV VSHDNHUSKRQH capability, extra-large numbered keypads, loud ringervolume choices, caller ID enabled and unique speeddialing features.

Luck Elementary news

LUCK – The Luck third-grade classes of Mrs. Gill, Mrs. Bartylla and Mrs. Carlson spent the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 16, learning about wolves, foxes and coyotes from ranger Nancy Beduhn as part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway’s Junior Ranger program. The afternoon included making wolf tracks from molds

and plaster of paris, learning about how wolves survive, where they live, and how to tell the difference between a fox, coyote and wolf and hearing the story of how Beduhn was once able to watch a wolf in the wild. Students also were able to look at pictures and feel real pelts of a wolf, fox and coyote. - submitted

Watt, of Grantsburg High School recently announced that Kathryn Segner and Victoria Vitale have been named Commended Students in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Beautiful weather and big crowds mark Siren’s annual Harvestfest Jean Koelz|Staff writer SIREN—The weather couldn’t have been better for Siren’s annual Harvestfest, celebrated over the last weekend in September. Crowds of local residents and visitors alike took part in a wide range of activities, including a fairlike atmosphere at Crooked Lake Park, a packed car show at Yourchuck’s Hardware Store, and an abundance of sales featuring everything from locally grown vegetables to locally produced artwork. Entrepreneurs ranging from students raising money IRU LQWHUQDWLRQDO WULSV WR UHWLUHHV ZKR ÀQDOO\ KDYH HQRXJK time to pursue their passions came from all over the state and assembled at the artisan and crafters fair in the park,

where children could get their faces painted and visit the petting zoo while their parents enjoyed homemade ice cream. Visitors to the farmers market were treated to homemade soup and all the bounty of a fall harvest. And the parking lots of local stores and restaurants were full all weekend. The number of people out and about could be attributed to local schools’ homecoming festivities, but it’s just as likely that peak autumn colors drew visitors and cabin owners to the area too. Whatever the reason, there was plenty of fun to go around.

&+85&+ 1(:6 Pig cooks for new van Wayne Anderson | Special to the Leader OSCEOLA – It was fun, food and the need for a newer van at the Osceola Community Church pig roast and fundraiser last Saturday, Sept. 27. The old, tired van has had it and its replacement is urgent. “The van we’ve been using has about 280,000 miles on it. It’s very rusty and may be getting close to unsafe,� said Larry Mederich, senior pastor. “We pick up kids weekly for youth group. We use it for mission trips. We help people to move. It’s time to get something decent – not new but decent.� So to get the much-needed van, the congregation put a whole pig on to slow roast for 22 hours, threw some zesty coleslaw together and added pots of yummy baked beans to help raise $15,000. Church member and chef Chris Lyman stayed up day and night to roast “Spot,� who he raised and who dressed out at 235

the steady attendance from the community. The more the merrier, as they tried to get closer to the purchase of a newer van. They need it, as this church is on the move. “We’re very much a mission-minded church,â€? said Pastor Mederich. “We’re headed to South Dakota in two weeks. We go to Milwaukee every once in a while. We’ve been to Mexico. You know, I would say if we had that kind of a tool (van) we would use it more. Because we want to be missions-minded.â€? The church prays to raise $7,000. “We have a little over $8,000,â€? Mederich said.

Roger Ekstrand, 84, of Siren, Wis., passed away in the early hours of Sept. 23, 2014, following a three-year struggle with pulmonary hypertension. His loving and devoted wife, Darlene, was at his side. Roger was born in Clear Lake, Iowa, on Aug. 17, 1930. He spent his childhood on the family farm near Osceola, Wis. He attended Osceola High School and then University of Wisconsin River Falls. Roger married Darlene Hopkins in 1951. They had four children, Terry (Brad) Wittnebel, Jacky (Dean) Enke, Roger Jr. (Renae) and Kris (Tony Sposato) Kaye. Roger taught high school biology and science in Dawson, Minn., before returning to Osceola to raise sheep and horses along with various exotic animals on the family farm. Scientist, artisan and avid reader, Roger was a passionate and lifelong student of history, science, nature, economics and current world events. A man of many interests, he was a skilled woodcarver and enjoyed creating and displaying his many works as well as attending carving shows to view the work of others. Roger had many other talents. He enjoyed painting and exploring other artistic mediums including silversmithing and relief and chip carving. An interest in animals was passionately pursued over many years. Roger loved horses, raising Arabians and Norwegian Fjord horses. He and Darlene belonged to several driving clubs where they would enjoy their horses, carriages and sleighs. Roger also spent many years raising sheep and served in leadership roles at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station. He was awarded the Northwest Wisconsin Master Shepherd Award in 1981 and the Outstanding Service Award by the Great Lakes Wool Growers Association in 1991. Roger’s sense of adventure and interest in the world around him led him to travel extensively with his loving wife, Darlene. They visited Mexico, China, Spain and Canada, as well as most of the United States. The past many years they wintered in Southern Texas, enjoying the warmth as well as the music and culture of the area. Roger played guitar and also enjoyed being part of the “jam sessionsâ€? in their Texas community. He was preceded in death by his parents, Maynard and Alma Ekstrand. Roger is survived by his wife, Darlene; one son, three daughters, 12 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, sister, Audrey (Gordon) Nelson; cousins, nieces, nephews and many other family and friends. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at a future date. The family requests that you honor Roger according to your faith and tradition. Memorials may be directed to the Mayo Clinic’s Pulmonary Research, philanthropy. mayoclinic.org/donate, your local hospice or the charity of your choice. The clock of time is wound but once, And no man has the power, To tell just when that clock will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own, So live, love, and toil with a will.

Another example of this absolute is given in 1 Corinthians 13, the “love chapter.� We’re told that love is patient and kind, and rejoices in the truth. Love does not envy or boast, is not rude or self-seeking or easily angered, and holds no record of wrongs. We could spend days mulling over those truths. If applied to our lives, each truth by itself could be life-changing. But the love chapter tells us even more. We learn that there is an always and a never in God’s trustworthy vocabulary.

Make it clear that you’re going to be implementing some new household rules and that there will be consequences when those rules are broken. The expectations should be clear, and the consequences immediate, consistent and powerful. For example, if your daughters receive an allowance, tell them that you’ll be deducting a dollar a week for every violation of the new “respect policy.� You could also take away favorite toys, activities or privileges for a period of time. Be sure to choose things that really matter to your girls, such as smartphone or social media access for a preteen or adolescent, or biking, playing with dolls or spending time with friends for a younger child. Write out your new rules and consequences in the form of a contract. Have your daughters sign it and post it on the

as Jesus loved us enough to die for us. Therefore, when we accept his unconditional love, he will give us the power and will to follow his example by loving others. He will make a way for us to love those we don’t like, to love even our enemies. Lord, sometimes it’s hard to love. When someone hurts us or uses us, we’d rather hurt back. Give us the desire and strength to always love them anyway, to never withhold your love from anyone, to follow your perfect example of love. May your love shine through every word we speak and every act we give so others will see you in us. In Jesus’ name, amen. Mrs. Bair may be reached at sallybair@ gmail.com refrigerator. Since it’s important to emphasize positive as well as negative consequences, you might want to include an “earn it backâ€? clause, whereby the girls can regain privileges by treating each other appropriately for a predetermined period of time. Once the plan is in place, stick to your guns and be diligent to administer the agreed-upon consequences consistently. ••• Jim Daly is a husband and father, an author, president of Focus on the Family and host of the “Focus on the Familyâ€? radio program.
