The Jordan Buck: art imitating life

&RPPXQLW\ SURMHFW WR EH XQYHLOHG WKLV 6DWXUGD\ SUHPLHUHG WR SXEOLF 2FW

Jean Koelz | Staff writer BURNETT COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some local students returning to school this year had an exciting and original answer to the perennial question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What did you do over summer vacation?â&#x20AC;?

Very few people can say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I helped build a life-size kinetic sculpture of a U.S.- and world-record setting buck from Danbury.â&#x20AC;?

In fact, according to project manager Harriet Rice, fewer than 50 people in the world can make that claim. About half of those people are students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly teenagers from Northwest Passage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who gave generously of their time to bring the legendary deer back to life.

For anyone who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard the story, the Jordan Buck was a whitetailed deer whose antler rack measures 206 1/8, which held the world record for more than 80 years and continues to hold the U.S. record. The buck was harvested Nov. 20, 1914, by Jim Jordan, but the 65-year journey to verify the record of the lost and recovered mount is the tallest part of the %RRQH DQG &URFNHWW YHULĂ&#x20AC;HG WDOH

3DVVLRQ GULYHQ SURMHFW To call Rice, a local advocate for the arts, the project manager is an understatement.

It was Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion to involve the arts in the communitywide centennial celebration, being coordinated by UW-Extension Community Development Agent Mike Kornmann, that led to the idea. It was Rice who sold renowned theater artist and master puppet builder Chris Lutter on her vision, persuading him to design the replica and spend weeks in the Bur-

Williamson said. Another volunteer added that she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine how much time Rice had spent, not to mention Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJ D ORFDO GRQRU WR KHOS Ă&#x20AC;QDQFH DOO the costs involved.

Rice would rather not talk about her role, though. She was just so thankful for all the help and points to Lutterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill, experience and management of the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lutter was a joy to work with. He has a great sense of humor and is wonderful with the kids,â&#x20AC;? Rice commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing to see how the kids got into it ... they did a great job.â&#x20AC;?

While Rice may have initially hoped for members of the local arts community to combine their talents, the project became just as educational as it was artistic with students and other volunteers doing most of the work. Rice added that the effort would not have been possible without the generosity of In a New Light Gallery and Northwest Passage, which provided a building to work in as well as time from both staff and students.

And it was Rice whose enthusiasm and hard work went into recruiting and scheduling the volunteers who donated hundreds of hours of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The right volunteers showed up with the right skills at just the right time,â&#x20AC;? Rice said, regarding the shifts of workers that rotated through the workspace three times a day for a week in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Dave Burke, who measured and skillfully

created the likeness of the antlers using coaxial cable, plastic, and papier-machĂŠ, to the ladies who showed up to sew the burlap hide, to artist Joan Williamson who painted the buckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face.â&#x20AC;?

The volunteers were equally appreciative of Rice, who not only hosted Lutter, but arranged for beverages and snacks for all the volunteers. In addition, Rice took the time to send every volunteer a personalized thank-you note detailing his or her contribution to the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She really went above and beyond,â&#x20AC;?

Ironically, competition for propane shipments is also part of the problem.

With a record corn crop, farmers will need a lot of propane for crop drying this fall. In an effort to avoid another propane shortage and skyrocketing prices, railroads are under heavy pressure to make sure propane cars get priority. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says they are going to â&#x20AC;&#x153;lean on railroadsâ&#x20AC;? to make sure there is enough propane shipped to the state.

Unfortunately, while the railroads, oil industry and agricultural interests make their case with the Surface Transportation Board, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing little to help the farmers who have no choice but to start harvesting crops in the next few weeks. â&#x20AC;Ś Jusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sayinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Chance encounter uncovers collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s item

Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer DANBURY - Burnett County UW-Extension Community Development Agent Mike Kornmann was selling tickets for the Jordan Buck replica shoulder-mount UDIĂ H DW WKH /RJ &DELQ 6WRUH 6DWXUGD\ Sept. 13, when Patti Edwards of Danbury came up to get a ticket.

Edwards proceeded to tell Kornmann she had a copy of the November 1979 Outdoor Life issue featuring the story of the Jordan Buck by Ron Schara at her home.

Kornmann was naturally excited at the prospect of seeing the collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s item and asked Edwards if he could have a look at the magazine.

When Edwards returned a short time later with the copy in hand, she explained to Kornmann that this was the one and only time she had purchased an issue of the popular sporting magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, and the story of the world-record whitetail on the cover caught my eye,â&#x20AC;? recalled Edwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew about the Jordan Buck but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize the article was about the legendary Danbury deer until I read the story.â&#x20AC;?

Both Kornmann and Edwards were happily taken aback by the timing of their

encounter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bought the ticket from Mike and mentioned I had the magazine. It was just a chance meeting, and we both thought it was pretty cool,â&#x20AC;? said Edwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then having the photographer from the paper come at the same time and take our photo was perfect timing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stars aligned for a record buck in 1914. And last Saturday, the stars aligned for me with a piece of Jordan Buck history at the Log Cabin Store,â&#x20AC;? commented Kornmann of meeting Edwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To see an original copy of the Outdoor Life issue in which Ron Schara tells the story about who shot the world-record buck was one of so many exciting moments this year.

And I have a feeling there are more moments to be added to the legendary Jordan Buck Story.â&#x20AC;?

There are income requirements for the program, but it varies by family size. For example, if a family of four were to apply, the household income would need to be

between $18,900 and $46,900.

Habitat homes are simple, decent homes WKDW DUH H[WUHPHO\ HQHUJ\ HIĂ&#x20AC;FLHQW 1RW only is the mortgage affordable, but also heating costs are often a fraction of what the family has been paying. Annual heating costs are approximately $200, which is what a typical Habitat family used to pay each month before owning a Habitat home. Owning a Habitat home requires that the homeowners, themselves, put in between 300 and 500 hours of sweat equity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I could give advice to a family that is wondering if they should apply, I would say do it! I never thought that Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity would pick my family, and they did. My life and my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life have changed because of it,â&#x20AC;? Van Vleet said.

Pickleball: a new game in town BURNETT COUNTY - Pickleball is a fun racquet sport that infuses elements of badminton, tennis and pingpong, and has been deemed the fastest growing sport in the United States.

Now pickleball has reached Burnett County, where a passionate group of locals are playing weekly through Communities United in Education.

-LP &RRN GHVFULEHV WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW QLJKW RI pickleball open gym: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 10 players show up and three of them were new to the game. By the end of the night they were all playing quite well and were hooked on pickleball.â&#x20AC;?

Pickleball open gym will be held on Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Webster Elementary School gym.

Cook states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited about the start of our pickleball season and are very appreciative of the support that Webster schools are giving CUE on this.â&#x20AC;?

For those brand new to the sport, you can learn pickleball play, rules and strategy, at an Intro to Pickleball course offered through CUE on Thursdays, Oct. 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 23, from 6 to 7 p.m. Preregister for the course online at cueclass.com or by calling Jennifer at 715-349-7070.

The word most commonly used to describe pickleball is â&#x20AC;&#x153;fun.â&#x20AC;? The lighter ball and smaller courts provide a game with less chance of injury and strain on the body, which is appealing to the over-50 crowd.

Dave and Marilyn Gigure, who play every week, describe the game as being

easy to learn, and encourage anyone to give it a try. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is so exciting. We hope community members of all ages will enjoy this new activity.â&#x20AC;? says Marilyn.

The entire group was quick to emphasize that there is always room for more players. They see it as an opportunity to mingle and build friendships. - from CUE

Master Gardener Volunteer - What is it all about?

POLK COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ever wonder what exactly is a Wisconsin Master Gardener Volunteer? Is it some secret society for only horticulture experts? Can anyone be a member? What do they really do?

Wisconsin Master Gardener Volunteers are people from all walks of life who share an interest in â&#x20AC;&#x153;digging in the dirtâ&#x20AC;? and sharing their time and efforts with others in their community. You only have to enjoy gardenLQJ EH LW YHJJLHV Ă RZHUV WXUI HWF DQG ZDQW WR VKDUH that passion with others. No secret society and anyone can be a member. The only criteria are taking classes taught by Wisconsin College System instructors, then volunteering time in the community, either by planting and/or maintaining gardens, in several different capacities while teaching others, etc.; and attending 10 hours of continuing education, most of which can be obtained by attending the Polk County Master Gardener Volunteer monthly meetings. Yes, anyone can do it.

Motoring the Gandy Bottineau Memorial Auto Tour travels from Siren to St. Croix Falls on the Gandy Dancer Trail )5('(5,& 67 &52,; )$//6 0RUH WKDQ WZR GR]HQ YLQWDJH SUH PRWRU YHhicles were driven from Siren to St. Croix Falls on the Gandy Dancer Recreational Trail last Saturday, Sept. 13.

Drivers participating in the Bottineau Memorial Auto Tour took a break at the Soo Line Depot/Frederic Area Museum between 10 and 11 a.m. and pulled into the Polk County Information Center parking lot on Hwy. 8 at St. Croix Falls at about 12:30, drivers and passengers ready for a meal at the nearby Dalles House Restaurant and Lounge.

The tour is named after Steve Bottineau, Siren, who was instrumental in organizing the annual event. He passed away a few years ago and members of the local T-Totalers chapter of the Model T Ford Club International have kept the annual tour going in his honor. Another sponsoring organization is the Twin Cities regional group of the Horseless Carriage Club of America.

While many of the autos were Fords, there were also turn-of-the-century names like Brush, Overland, Nash, Maxwell, Buick, Locomobile, Star, Oldsmobile, Stanley and Cadillac represented.

Early fall fest the best Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer GRANTSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Organizers of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Fall Festival Sunday, Sept. 14, were blessed with a beautiful early autumn day for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

Folks enjoyed sitting outside to eat

their barbecued chicken and ham dinners and listen to music by Gary Fender and Friends. ar Gene Gronlund was again on hand to play his spoons with the band on some tunes and Carl Lingren entertained the crowd on the bagpipes.

Shoppers quickly picked up wagons of garden produce and homemade baked goods for sale while kids played fun games on the church lawn.

All agreed this early fall fest was just the best.

Unity receives federal grant for after-school programming BALSAM LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Unity School District is among 55 sites around Wisconsin that were recently named recipients of a federal 22st Century Community Learning Center grant. The grant will allow students to improve math and reading, participate in academic enrichment programs, and develop their athletic and social skills through programming outside the school day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very excited that we are receiving a grant award,â&#x20AC;? said Unity School District Administrator Brandon Robinson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and believe that it will enable us to offer more programming that will posi-

tively impact our educational experiences for our students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The after-school program focus will ensure that we can extend the school day and provide additional support to those students who need it.â&#x20AC;?

Unity and the 54 other sites receiving grants were selected from 122 applicants for competitive funding. These 55 CLC locations will receive $3.84 million for JUDQW DFWLYLWLHV IRU Ă&#x20AC;YH \HDUV MRLQLQJ WKH 189 continuing after-school program sites sharing a total of $16.5 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community Learning Centers have a proven track record of supporting stu-

dents and families and boosting academic achievement,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Evers, Wisconsin state superintendent of public instruction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funding is targeted to schools with higher socioeconomic needs to help us close achievement gaps so all students are on track to graduate college and career ready.â&#x20AC;?

Funding in this competition was awarded to programs that serve schools with at least 40 percent or more of enrolled students at or below poverty level and a high percentage of students struggling academically.

Community Learning Centers are de-

signed to improve student achievement, attendance and behavior by providing enriching activities for youth during out-of-school hours. Recipients can use funds to support before- and after-school, weekend, and summer activities. In addition to academic support, sites provide activities for adult family members that promote engagement in their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education and develop individual learning skills such as adult learning and parental skill building. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; submitted by Unity Schools and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction

Reading friends of elementary Saints ST. CROIX FALLS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This year marks the eighth year citizens of St. Croix Falls and surrounding areas have befriended young readers at the elementary school in a unique community/school program. Several volunteers responded seven years ago to an invitation to be SMART, that is, to start making a reader

today. Of the 18 who participated in that opportunity, 12 continue to make new friends in kindergarten through fourth grade. Budding friendships form when adults show up for 30 minutes weekly to listen, encourage and support a youngster who needs a boost in reading skills.

each year? For Barb Boyken, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immediate energy felt as soon as she enters the school. Mark Boyken believes reading is fundamental, meaning both fun and genuinely basic to whatever the youngsters do in life. Don Schween likes to see results. Teachers share the progress his friends make in second grade and he knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of that growth. Others mention satisfaction they feel in giving time and attention. Some say it reminds

them of reading with their own young children. A few acknowledge personal response felt when the school staff lets them know how valued they are.

Forty-two committed, generous adults were among the Reading friends in 201314. Most will continue this year. More are needed and always welcome to join this community/school venture. Training is provided. Contact Marilyn at 715-4839522 for more information. - submitted

SCVF announces music grants to schools HUDSON - Applications are now available for music education grants for kindergarten through 12th-grade students in St. Croix Valley schools. The Music Education Fund of the St. Croix Valley Foundation was established by Nyda Swanson in 2002. The widow of Earl Swanson, former CEO of Andersen Corporation, saw the St. Croix Valley Foundation as a way to enhance the quality of music education programs for children throughout the St. Croix Valley regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schools. The St. Croix Valley Foundation helped Swanson establish a special endowed fund that provides annual grants for music education activities in perpetuity; SCVF distrib-

utes these grants each fall.

Public and private schools located in Washington and Chisago counties in Minnesota and Burnett, Pierce, Polk and St. Croix counties in Wisconsin are eligible to apply. The grants range from $500 to $5,000 and are evaluated based on innovation, need, impact, goals and budget.

Andy Kass, co-chair of SCVFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music education grant panel, remarked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 2003, the St. Croix Valley Foundation has offered a competitive grant program for music education. During that period 122 grants have been awarded totaling more than $306,000. Grants have provided dollars for instruments, sheet music, new

compositions, clinicians, technology and joint school concerts, among others.

Some requests are innovative and others are needed to replace aging instruments that can no longer be repaired. We want music teachers to request money for the things that will strengthen or improve their programs. Receiving an SCVF Music Education Grant recognizes the commitment of that teacher and school to better their program. We have been told that the pat on the back inspires both teachers and students alike to achieve more.â&#x20AC;?

Application forms and information are available from the St. Croix Valley Community Foundation, 516 Second St., Suite

214, P.O. Box 39, Hudson, WI 54016, or through its website, scvfoundation.org.

Proposals may be submitted from now until Tuesday, Sept. 30, and awards will be announced in December.

The St. Croix Valley Foundation is a regional philanthropic organization with ORFDO DIĂ&#x20AC;OLDWHV LQFOXGLQJ WKH 1RUWKZHVW Alliance Community Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to building lasting resources that serve the people, communities and environment of the St. Croix Valley region.

(YDOHH 5 2¡7RROH -RKDQVHQ Evalee R. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole-Johansen, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ev,â&#x20AC;? 86, of Belmond, Iowa, passed away Sept. 5, 2014, at the Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit in Mason City, Iowa. In lieu of a funeral, a celebration of her life will be planned, when interment of ashes will be at West Denmark Lutheran Church cemetery.

Ev was born June 15, 1928, in Watertown, S.D., to John Haney and Ruth *ULIĂ&#x20AC;WK +DQH\ 6KH JUDGXDWHG IURP Watertown High School in 1946. Ev was married to Richard Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole and moved to Garner, Iowa, in 1961. Together they managed the Avery Theater and raised their four children. After the theater closed, Ev worked for Dr. W.J. Mack for over 31 years. Her prior experience as a surgery scrub tech while living in South Dakota came in handy in assisting Dr. Mack. Ev and Dick were married close to 25 years before he passed away.

In 1988, on Aug. 27, she married Valdemar â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wallyâ&#x20AC;? Johansen. After almost 10 years of courting they celebrated their wedding at West Demark Lutheran Church near Luck, Wis., where Wally had been born and raised. They became the famous duo of Wally & Ev and now it seems hard to imagine that they have danced their last dance and laughed their last laugh as a couple.

Over the 26 years of their marriage, Ev became well acquainted in the West Denmark community. Her Irish roots mixing with the Danish customs, but always the Irish holding a special place in her heart.

A shamrock was slyly positioned on the back of her wedding bouquet on the day she married Wally in the Danish church.

Wally had a cabinetmaking business.

After they were married, it was not unXVXDO IRU (Y WR Ă&#x20AC;QG KHUVHOI LQ FRQYHUVDtion with local women who were raving about having a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johansen kitchenâ&#x20AC;? in their home. She delighted in reminding WKHP DOO ´7KDW¡V Ă&#x20AC;QH \RX KDYH D -RKDQsen kitchen, but I have Johansen!â&#x20AC;? She admired Wallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills in building and Ă&#x20AC;[LQJ RQH RI KHU IDYRULWH SKUDVHV ´0\ â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Vallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; can do anything!â&#x20AC;? was playfully said with a Danish accent.

Ev sang bass in the Sweet Adelines choral group for several years, made many close friends and traveled around the state and country singing with the group. She was a good seamstress and had a knack for creating a costume out of not much.

For many years, Wally and Ev crosscountry skied around Iowa and up in northern Wisconsin, too. The annual Johansen family â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cabin Christmasâ&#x20AC;? over New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Wisconsin soon became a weekend for cross-country skiing for all. They also skied in some of the parks around Iowa, they found groomed trails in some to enjoy.

Two things Ev loved most in this world, Wally and ballroom dancing. Ev was an accomplished ballroom dancer and she dearly loved music. Just by hearing a few bars of a song, she could â&#x20AC;&#x153;name that tuneâ&#x20AC;? out of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;40s, and the artists who made them popular. She and Wally were known to go to dances at many ballrooms around the countryside, never missing Lawrence Welk on Saturday nights, and always loving to hear a good Glenn Miller song.

Their favorite place to dance was The Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, but they would dance almost anywhere if there ZDV JRRG PXVLF DQG D Ă DW VXUIDFH +HU skill at the sewing machine and her imagination helped her craft special dance attire for her and Wally to wear for New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve or other special dance nights. In recent years, they never missed an episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing with the Stars,â&#x20AC;? keeping their own scores and hashing over the various dance styles together. While big band music was her favorite, a very recent trip to see The Temptations, at The Surf Ballroom, was great fun for her too. Even as she lay resting in the hospice bed, her

OHDGHUQHZVURRP FRP

hand moved to a beat only she could hear, perhaps keeping time to a favorite Glenn Miller dance tune.

Not only did Ev remember the music of the 1940s, she also had a great memory of the pop culture of that day. Living through the Depression years as a kid instilled in her the need to be frugal and wise with spending. In current days, she was the consummate recycler. Nothing went to waste that could be recycled in one way or another.

Following retirement, Ev and Wally spent summers in Wisconsin and Iowa, and winters in Arkansas and Texas. They traveled around with a camper trailer and enjoyed missing the snow and seeing the sun shine. For several years they worked as national forest camp hosts in Charlton, Ark. In later years, they traveled farther south and stayed winters in Rockport, Texas, where they became close friends with other snowbirds.

Ev and Wally went on many trips together, and they often revisited their memories of some of their fun travels together; remembering destinations including Denmark, Alaska, Washington, D.C., the West Coast, Mount Rushmore, the Southwest, Las Vegas, a few Amtrak trips and even a cruise. Her love for travel was still strong and she had hoped for more.

Ev was talented as an artist and enjoyed painting in acrylics, or using pastels, as well as other medium. Although she created conventional artwork, oftentimes her creative side was displayed through fun costumes and silly pranks. She loved to be in on a surprise and helped plan and pull off several parties and jokes. She loved a JRRG FKXFNOH DQG LW LV HDV\ WR Ă&#x20AC;QG IDPLO\ photographs of her in laughter.

Ev was proud that she was able to manage the â&#x20AC;&#x153;smartphoneâ&#x20AC;? and found that she loved Facebook. She enjoyed being able to follow friends and relatives, as well as keep up on our changing world. In her 80s, she learned to use the Internet, text and email, something that many younger folks may not care to tackle. Her grandkids thought it was cool that Grandma OJ was on Facebook.

Ev was truly Wallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seabee mate. Over the course of their lives together, she always was at Wallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side at his Navy seabee reunions. Wally and Ev eventually became the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stewards. Together they arranged the details for many of the reunions for this group. She became a beloved friend of the other seabees and their families. Her patriotic streak ran deep; she loved veterans and was intensely proud of Wallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military service and the service of other family members and friends.

Ev was a devoted and loving wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, greatgrandmother and great-great-grandmother, aunt and friend. She was loved by all who knew her.

We come close to shedding tears, too.

They come fast or slowly, unbidden or purposeful.

We cry for ourselves and for others and, depending on our emotional state, we either stoically hold back our tears out of embarrassment or become a blubbering bubble of anguish. We cry when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy, sad, angry or frustrated.

Jim: Our counselors suggest that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably no reason to be overly concerned about your 3-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in villains. Many young children are fascinated with â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad guys.â&#x20AC;? If your son is like most kids, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely a phase that will eventually pass. You might also keep in mind that if you focus on the issue and try to force him to stop liking these characters, he may thrive on the negative attention. Kids will do almost anything for attention, especially if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling neglected. For now, the best approach is to ignore this current preoccupation and VLPSO\ FRQFHQWUDWH RQ DIĂ&#x20AC;UPLQJ KLV LQterests that are more positive.

That said, if your son is mimicking the behaviors of the evil characters and acting out in inappropriate ways, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d encourage you to nip that in the bud. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow him to become mean-spirited, aggressive or hurtful with you, his siblings

We know how good it feels to have a good cry about something upsetting.

And who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shed tears of self-pity or anger?

The Bible includes over 150 references to the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;weep,â&#x20AC;? 35 to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tears,â&#x20AC;? and more than 400 to the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;cry.â&#x20AC;? Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people cried aloud often in repentance over their sins, among other reasons.

In the meantime, remember that you FDQ XVH Ă&#x20AC;FWLRQDO FKLOGUHQ¡V FKDUDFWHUV to teach your child about virtuous personality traits. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to do this by setting up a contrast between the â&#x20AC;&#x153;good guysâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad guys.â&#x20AC;? For example, you can ask him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Which character is more honest?â&#x20AC;? Then discuss the consequences of dishonesty. In the same way, you could ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who is more helpful to other people?â&#x20AC;? By doing so, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be directing the conversation into channels WKDW DUH DIĂ&#x20AC;UPLQJ RI SRVLWLYH YLUWXHV DQG actions. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Q: Do you have any advice for the parent of a preteen whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to gear up for â&#x20AC;&#x153;the talkâ&#x20AC;? about sexuality and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the facts of lifeâ&#x20AC;??

Dr. Greg Smalley, vice president, Family Ministries: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to hear youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been giving this some thought. Too often kids hear about sex from everyone but their parents, and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pre-emptive strikeâ&#x20AC;? can give your child a healthy view of sexuality that will stand up to distorted perspectives coming from other sources.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no foolproof formula for carrying out this assignment, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest keeping the following principles in mind: â&#x20AC;˘ Giving your child facts about reproduction doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rob him of innocence. A

Christianity has wrought oceans of tears from sinners who have repented. Jesus himself wept over the woefully stagnant, spiritual condition of Israel.

Tears are useless, however, unless followed by action. All the crying in the world for our sins will do no good unless we turn away from them. All the tears we shed for our sick neighbor will bring nothing but soggy tissues unless we follow with acts of mercy and love.

All the tears we shed over the ungodly condition of our households, neighborhoods, states or nations will come to nothing unless we pray and share the love and mercy of Jesus.

We can all rejoice with tears, however, whenever someone repents and turns to Christ. Joy and tears are as inseparable as sorrow and tears. Our tears are used

But a child who knows very little about sex can already have a corrupt mind-set if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been exposed to it in a degrading context. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to tell your child everything during a single marathon session.

Details should be shared gradually over a period of several years. â&#x20AC;˘ If your child asks questions you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t DQVZHU GRQ¡W EHFRPH Ă XVWHUHG %H KRQest, and then do some research.

Along with providing the correct names and places of body parts, the mechanics of intercourse and the process of fertilization, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to emphasize that

In some cultures, people are hired to cry at funerals.

Lord, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to use our tears as useless offerings. Help us turn them into action as a means to show others your love and mercy, even as you have so graciously shown us. In Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name, amen.
