),567 5($' LUCK - The Luck Historical Museum is featuring an exhibit that remembers Sept. 11, 2001. Events that occurred on 9/11/2001 ended the lives of thousands, permanently changed the lives of far more and stunned millions around the world. One of those whose lives were ended on that day was Dean Mattson, who grew up near Luck, graduated from Luck High School in 1962, attended college and began a successful career in the $UP\ 0DWWVRQ GLHG LQ KLV RIĂ€FH DW WKH 3HQWDgon, that fateful day. The Mattson family has kindly loaned the Luck Museum many items, pictures and belongings that help tell the story RI 'HDQ¡V OLIH 3OHDVH YLVLW WKH PXVHXP WR UHmember how 9/11 was an event that changed our country. Fall museum hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and by special appointment; to schedule call 715-472-2030 during open hours. - from Luck Historical Museum ••• Credit is owed architect Larry “Larsâ€? Glockzin for the designing of the new Grantsburg Fire Hall currently under construction in the village. Local architect Craig Selander was mistakenly given credit for designing the facility in this space last week. The editor apologizes for making the error. ••• Some propane suppliers are taking extra steps to avoid another heating crisis such as the one that happened last year. Last winter was unprecedented for the state’s propane industry - extreme cold caused incredible demand for gas, while supply disruptions caused prices to skyrocket and some dealers to go out of business.

Another construction-related item on the board’s agenda was a report on the progress of a feasibility study on the Boyd Building being done by architect Craig Selander which the board voted to approve at their Aug. 25 meeting.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review for the Town of Clam Falls of Polk County shall hold its first meeting on Tuesday, September 23, 2014, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Clam Falls Town Hall. Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the board: No person shall be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board of Review by telephone or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view such property. After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board of Review final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact, or provide information to, a member of the Board of Review about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board of Review. No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board of Review by telephone or contest the amount of assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board of Review, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed because the person has been granted a waiver of the 48hour notice of an intent to file a written objection by appearing before the Board of Review during the first two hours of the meeting and showing good cause for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and files a written objection, that the person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for removal of any Board of Review members and, if so, which member will be removed and the person’s reasonable estimate of the length of time that the hearing will take. When appearing before the Board of Review, the person shall specify, in writing, the person’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate. No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone or subject or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the Assessor or the objector using the income method unless the person supplies the Assessor all of the information about income and expenses, as specified in the manual under Sec. 73.03(2a), that the Assessor requests. The Town of Clam Falls has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the Assessor under this paragraph which provides exemptions for persons using the information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or of the duties of their office or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under Section 19.35(1) of Wis. Statutes. The Board of Review shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board of Review a letter from a physician, surgeon or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by telephone. Please contact Betty Knutson, Clerk, 3335-90th St., Frederic, WI 54837 (telephone 715-653-4206 [home] or 715327-4807 [work]), at least 48 hours before the meeting of the Board of Review stating your intention to file a written objection to the assessment. If the clerk is not available, please leave a message on the answering machine stating your name, address, telephone number and your intention to file a written objection to the assessment.

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer ST. CROIX FALLS – Walkers and hikers can now travel the Ice Age Trail through St. Croix Falls from the Lions Park to Interstate State Park with almost no walking on the street. A 2.4-mile section of the trail from Zilmer Park to Riegel Park has just been completed, offering a route through woods and glades that replaces blocks of neighborhood travel. The eight miles of trail that run through the city are on sidewalks for only a short distance near the ends of the hospital esker. The Ice Age 7UDLO VHFWLRQ LQ 6W &URL[ )DOOV LV ÀQLVKHG but it took years of planning and work to reach this stage. An Aug. 19 – 24 work project involved 157 volunteers from 11 states who put in 4,200 hours of volunteer time building trail, moving stone, and constructing bridges. That is just a part of the 26,000 volunteer hours of work building trail in Straight Lake Park and along Mindy Creek. And that does not account for the uncounted hours going back to the 1990s that built early sections of the trail. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a thousand-mile footpath that reaches from the St. Croix River to Lake Michigan, following the edge of the last glacier to cover Wisconsin. It is one of 11 such trails in the nation and is a part of the National Park System, along with such famous routes as the Appalachian Trail. About 65 miles of the Ice Age Trail cross Polk County, including 42 miles of hiking paths, 16 miles on the Gandy Dancer Trail, and seven miles of road travel. All those 42 miles of trail were built by volunteer labor and none of the trails were built without careful planning. What may seem like a rambling path through the woods is there by design. The general route is laid out to highlight the best features of the land while accessing available property. But every section of that route is laid out with an eye on the landscape, looking at such things as water runoff, sensitive plants, and trail treads that will provide hikers with a good walking surface with the least damage to the environment.

$QG PRUH Before the tread work and the construction started, the volunteers cleared invasive plants, including honeysuckle and buckthorn, cutting, pulling and hauling away, using herbicides when necessary. Volunteers said the protective clothes used for the work made a hot day even hotter. The volunteers built up an appetite doing the hard work and a food crew, working from an outdoor kitchen, fed the crew three meals a day, a full breakfast, lunches brought to the work sites, and a big dinner. Many of the workers, gathered from 11 states, camped at the fairgrounds. Those workers included about 50 Boy Scouts, part of the Order of the Arrow. This was a Mobile Skills Crew Project of the Ice Age Trail Alliance, the group that works with the National Parks Service to build and maintain the Ice Age Trail. The event was hosted by the Indianhead Chapter of the Alliance, the volunteer group that maintains the 57 miles of trail in Polk County.

Walking the Ice Age Trail in St. Croix Falls The Ice Age Trail segment in St. Croix Falls is listed as about eight miles in length but walkers could do a hike of the core section of the trail, exploring the newly completed route, and circle back to their starting point with a walk along the river and a meal in town. That walk/hike could start and end at Lions Park. St. Croix Falls is called the City of Trails and makes a loop hike a possibility. The northern end of the St. Croix Falls segment of the Ice Age Trail is along the River Road a half mile west of Hwy. 87. The route travels south along the river for a mile and a half to Lions Park.

streambed. There is an overlook of the river valley at the midpoint of the trail. The entrance to Zilmer Park and the newly completed 2.4-mile Ice Age Trail section is across Day Road from the Mindy Creek Trail. The new section rises to Zilmer Point and its two benches on a rock outcrop, just past the rock steps. The trail continues over the two Vermont Creek crossings and through woods until it reaches a long prairie stretch dropping to Oregon Road near the fairgrounds. Across Oregon Road the trail enters a new wooded hillside section curving around the fairgrounds and emerging at Riegel Park, with its new trail sections and long boardwalk. The trail leaves Riegel Park, crosses Blanding Woods Road, and passes through the school grounds and the nature trails behind the school.

Grilling on the deck turned into hours of relaxed conversation as we talked about anything and everything. Later that evening in our living room, we somehow transitioned into a spontaneous display of talent or lack of talent and then family games. Never was anything planned, but rather it happened as we allowed it to happen in a relaxed and supportive environment. Nearly the entire weekend we laughed and ate and relaxed together and nothing was planned except for one event, the summer canoe trip. This wasn’t a planned route into the backcountry of the Boundary Waters, nothing of the sort. This was simply a slow and lazy trip down one of the local rivers. Most years we head down the Namekagen or the St. Croix riv-

ers, but this year we went in our own backyard, the Yellow River. As parents, however, we have ulterior motives with the canoe trip. We have found this to be a good judge of character. Two of our daughters were home from college with friends of the opposite sex, one of them rather serious and one not so serious, but that wasn’t the point. We have discovered that if they could paddle a canoe around sticks, stumps, logs and sandbars in a coordinated and cooperative manner without complaining then, very likely, they would be able to negotiate other speed bumps in life in the same manner.

In 1971 Prenevost’s burgeoning interest was reinforced when a Canadian relative contacted the stateside family about some records he’d located. These were contracts the fur traders had their employees sign, albeit usually with an X, as so many voyageurs were illiterate. Sure enough, the documents indicated that indeed some of the Prenevost ancestors had probably been working along the fur trade’s canoe and portage routes. As Paul recalls, “this only strengthened the feeling I already had that I had a personal connection to that life.â€? %XW LW ZDV KDUGO\ WKH Ă€UVW WLPH KH¡G felt that connection. As he remembers fondly, “When I was 12 years old I was sent off to summer camp. It just happened to be named Camp Voyageur. The cabins had names referring to fur trade posts like Grand Portage and Nipissing. The dining room was the Athabaska House, named for an area to which the most rugged voyageurs were sent. Everything was geared to the voyageur, including the hierarchy of Porkeaters (novice paddlers), Nor’westers (most experienced canoemen), and Hivernants (French word for

Woodswhimsey the gnome those who wintered over in the wilderness). “I spent two summers as a counselor in training, and another two summers as a counselor. It was a great time and lots of great memories, which whetted my interest in fur trade times, which has stayed with me.â€? Not only was the intrigue planted, he soon found other ways he could explore his interest. Around 1980 his brother became involved with some “living historyâ€? re-enactment groups, where people research and then reproduce the costumes and other items used in life back then; and then proceed to attend encampments like those held at Forts Folle Avoine. As Prenevost relates, “you start with basics, then add a cooking kettle, learn the ropes of using it, then come upon some other additions WR \RXU FDPS RXWĂ€W DQG VRRQ UHDOL]H there’s no end to the fascination.â€? 3UHQHYRVW LV TXLFN WR SRLQW RXW ´,¡P not a historian per se. I just have a lot of respect for those who ventured into the unknown, recorded and documented their lives and left footprints all across North America. And we are blessed to have some fur trade places rebuilt, like Forts Folle Avoine, to give people a look at the life of those incredible times.â€? Prenevost started showing up at Forts Folle Avoine events soon after it opened in the 1980’s and has been coming back as often as he can. He’s seen at several goings-on each year, ranging from the summer rendezvous encampments to other fur trade history events like the Beaver Club. For the Beaver Club evening, Prenevost will probably be meeting people,

It’s a chance for guests to slip open the door, take a peek at one aspect of the fur trade life, and well, end up having some good memories of their own. It shows a different aspect to the fur trade, seeing as the Beaver Club evenings took place in Montreal, and involved fur traders remembering their days at places like Forts Folle Avoine. And while it was originally only for ‘dignitaries,’ we stretch the rules a little so common old voyageurs like me will be around as

reetings from your SCF/TF Rotary Club and your 2014-2015 president. Our weekly Wednesday meeting at the Dalles House was wellattended. There was good food and fellowship. Our BOWLING/G trophy recipient this week was Warren White, who also happens to be our Rotary district’s assistant governor. Warren was recognized for his extensive service in organizing and managing Michela’s Youth Exchange paperwork and travel to America. The BOWLING/G trophy is awarded to a Rotarian who goes above and beyond in being a friendly and charitable citizen. BOWLING/G stands for Best Ol’ Wonderful, Lovable, Incredibly Nice Guy/Gal. If you know of a Rotarian ZKR ÀWV WKLV GHVFULSWLRQ SOHDVH FDOO RQH of our club members and let us know who the person is and what they did to deserve the award. For our program this week I presented a PowerPoint program that

Basically, the members had an opportunity to choose which visioning ideas should be implemented by the club and which ones shouldn’t. The TXHVWLRQV KDG ÀYH SRWHQWLDO UHVSRQVH increments, from very bad idea, to great idea. Once the results were presented, we broke up into our service committees so that the committees could elect their leadership and then come up with two goals that could be implemented in WKH FRPLQJ \HDU :H KDYH ÀYH GLIIHUHQW FRPPLWWHHV &OXE ZKLFK LQFOXGHV

both membership and meetings; foundation and fundraising; service, which includes both local and international projects; youth, which includes our rotary vocational and international exchange programs; and, last but not least, public relations. In our Rags to Riches/Jokers Wild drawing, our pot had grown to $64. Gary LaMirande won the pot and in a very benevolent gesture he gave the proceeds to our Italian Youth Exchange student, Michela. Our club is always looking for new members who are service oriented and enjoy good fellowship. We are part of a much larger organization comprised of over 1.2 million members worldwide. Our motto is Service Above Self and we strive to improve the world at the local, regional and international level.

A fresh coat of kindness Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer WEBSTER – Virginia Hills eyes sparkled as she looked at the fresh coat of paint brightening her home. $V WKH +DELWDW IRU +XPDQLW\ FUHZ SXW WKH Ă€QLVKLQJ touches on window trim and began their clean up, Hills found it hard to put her gratitude into words. “I don’t even know how to express my feelings. It means so much to me.â€? Hills, whose husband died four years ago, said she thought the last time the house was painted was in 1997, so when Habitat for Humanity volunteers arrived with paint, pails, brushes and ladders it was a welcome sight. Hills said the afternoon of painting was enjoyable and one she will not soon forget. “I think we all had fun today,â€? she remarked, adding, “I baked cookies and bars for the crew.â€? As construction manager, Tuck Daniels walked by, Hills called out to him, “Hey Mike.â€? “I call him Mike because he looks so much like my brother, Mike,â€? Hills laughed.

Tuck just smiled as if Hills was family, which is just how this Brush with Kindness painting project felt, like family helping family. The A Brush with Kindness program is an exterior home preservation program offering painting, landscaping, weatherization and minor repair services to eligible homeowners. Habitat for Humanity instituted the program of making repairs and upgrades as a way to help homeowners continue to stay safely in their homes where otherwise they may not have been able to do so. Habitat for Humanity chapters select partner families based on income, need and willingness to partner for the projects with volunteers providing the labor and donated materials to keep costs down. Crews take no payment for services rendered. The homeowner is offered a no-interest loan to cover the cost of the project and payments received from the A Brush with Kindness projects are placed in a revolving fund to help others in need. The generosity of the Valspar Paint Company,

cofounder and underwriter of the A Brush with Kindness program, makes the projects possible. Habitat for Humanity chapters offer exterior maintenance services to provide families with safe and wellmaintained homes, to revitalize neighborhoods and to make community connections. The WRHFH chapter began providing A Brush with Kindness opportunities in 2011 and has completed numerous projects to date. Three area Lutheran churches particpated in the project through the ELCA program God’s Work, Our Hands, which designated Sept. 7 as a Sunday to help with a community project. As one by one the volunteers said their good-byes Hills knew not only had her house been touched wth brushes, her heart had been brushed with kindness as well.

a few basic, biblical truths. Through prayer, the power of the Holy Spirit and our willingness, we must become obedient to God’s Word no matter the circumstances around us. Think about Noah when he built the ark. Though he was the only righteous, God-loving and God-fearing person on earth, surrounded by ever-increasing evil, he remained obedient to God’s command to build it. While Noah built the ark, he also preached God’s love and salvation. If DQ\RQH ÀQGV LW KDUG WR EHOLHYH WKDW VXFK a loving God would destroy the whole earth, remember that God waited more than 100 years for people to repent, as Noah hammered away at their hearts. God smiled on Noah because of his obedience and trust during a stressful,

and perhaps, dangerous time. Noah used his God-given abilities for the purpose of pleasing him. Because of his closeness to God, no doubt Noah enjoyed preaching, building and even thanking him for the opportunity. Because of his closeness to God, Noah kept a positive outlook, knowing that if his emotions turned sour over the futility RI KLV MRE *RG ZRXOG NHHS ÀOOLQJ KLP with joy. Pleasing God must have made Noah smile. Lord, give us the heart attitude of Noah. We want to please you, to cause you to smile, because of our obedience and trust, our thankfulness and our desire to use the abilities you’ve lovingly given us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
