:RUOG +DELWDW 'D\ ST. CROIX FALLS - Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity joins the global observance of World Habitat Day on Saturday, Oct. 6, in St. Croix Falls. In celebration of World Habitat Day, Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity will host tours and a short information meeting to help bring attention to the need for adequate housing around the world at the St. Croix Falls ReStore.

At 1 p.m. there will be another tour of the St. Croix Falls ReStore. Join Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity by signing a petition to make housing a priority and learn about what is being done locally to eliminate poverty housing. “Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity is excited to recognize World Habitat Day with all the people working in partnership to end poverty housing worldwide. When we gather together on Oct. 6 to recognize the reality of poverty housing in our local communities as well as around the world, we step forward and declare that safe, decent housing is a matter of conscience and action,â€? said director of development Susan Sommer. “The communities in Polk, Burnett, Washburn and Rusk counties care about one another. The World Habitat Day Event at the ReStore in St. Croix Falls on Monday, Oct. 6, is a chance for everyone to come together and declare that we will end poverty housing.â€?

Relatively new as a bike-racing format in the United States, cyclocross racing has been a fall signature end to the bike-racing season in Europe for years. The courses are set up with barricades that require riders to dismount and carry their bike over them, steep uphill sections that must be climbed on foot carrying the bike, sometimes a section through a WHQW ÀOOHG ZLWK VSHFWDWRUV DQG RQ WKH Baker Orchard course, a section that goes through a historic century-old barn. Riders make several laps of the course, going through the feature sections every few minutes, so watching the races is easy and action-packed. A perfect day for a cyclocross race in Belgium would have about four inches of wet snow on the unfrozen ground, and by the third lap it would be a mud bog; but the weather in Centuria will be dry and warm that weekend. Baker Orchard will be open as usual with all their fall specialties and, yes, there will be apples.

Gary King | Leader editor TAYLORS FALLS, Minn. - Minnesota Congressman Rick Nolan will host a one-hour round-table discussion this Thursday, Sept. 25, to address the possibility of rerouting trucks hauling frac sand through downtown Taylors Falls on Hwy. 95. The meeting will be held from noon to 1 p.m. at the Taylors Falls Community Center (former depot) on Government Road. The meeting may also include some

AMERY – The Polk County Sheriff’s Department, in accordance with state law, has issued information to the public via the media regarding Michael Horton, a convicted sex offender who will be released to the local community on Tuesday, Oct. 7. Horton will be residing at the Apple River Motel at 977 Hwy. 8, Room No. 3, Amery. He will be under the supervision of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Horton was convicted on second-

discussion on the overall frac sand issue. Taylors Falls Mayor Mike Buchite has actively sought support from legislators to reroute frac trucks, in the wake of an announcement by Superior Silica Sands earlier this year of plans to build a transloading facility in North Branch, Minn., which would drastically increase the frac sand-hauling trucks through the city as the company would haul sand from a plant near Barron, Wis., across Interstate Bridge on Hwy. 35, through downtown Taylors Falls and on to North Branch. From there the sand would be loaded on a train and shipped to North Dakota where it’s used to extract oil. 7KH ÀUVW SKDVH FDOOHG IRU DSSUR[LPDWHO\

100 trucks a day to pass through Taylors Falls, rising to as many as 400 trucks per day (both ways). Buchite has gone on record saying he’s not so concerned with what is being hauled as he is with the potential safety hazard the trucks create and the impact on the city’s tourism-based economy. This past year a citizens group voiced opposition to frac sand trucks passing through downtown Taylors Falls, gathering more than 3,000 signatures. The controversy prompted Superior Silica Sands to table its North Branch project, but they were drawn back to the table by 1RUWK %UDQFK RIÀFLDOV DQG DZDLW SHUPLW approval from the Minnesota Pollution

Registration Program (widocoffenders. org) for life. Horton’s history includes offenses against minor females and vulnerable adult females. He has been incarcerated for approximately eight years leading to this release. “Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it wasn’t until Act 440 (1997) that law enforcement is now able to share this information with the community,� states a news release from the Polk

Agency, whose guidelines regarding frac mining have stiffened in recent years. Superior Silica Sands has gone on record stating it would be open to rerouting or rescheduling its trucks to night routes, but Buchite said rerouting is better as there are Taylors Falls citizens who live along the route. Frac sand trucks from Tiller Corporation, the company operating frac plants near Grantsburg and North Branch, with pits in Scandia and other southern Minnesota locations, have been traveling through downtown Taylors Falls this past year.

The dread only increases when The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts below-normal temperatures, with the coldest periods in late December, early to mid-January, late January and early to mid-February ‌ or basically, all winter. The prediction goes on to say that April and May will be cooler and wetter than normal as well. The Farmers’ Almanac, not to be confused with The Old Farmer’s Almanac, predicts more shivery and shovelry than normal. On the other hand, robweather at liveweatherblogs.com (search El NIno Watch and Update) reported Monday, Sept. 22, that signs of El Nino, which brings mild winters to this area, persist. Or, the winter may not follow any of these predictions. It probably goes without saying that long-range weather forecasting is not an exact science. However, there is little question that the memory of last winter’s extreme weather is still fresh for many people in the area. Not only did the area have below-average temperatures and lots of snow, a pattern that persisted well into the spring months, there was a propane shortage that caused prices to skyrocket and suppliers to allocate delivery amounts and add on adu-

The state poured additional funds into the heating assistance program and provided crisis assistance above and beyond the regular program to keep low income families with heat last year. The numbers are daunting. A total of 224,731 households received heating assistance, and 25,628 of these households also received crisis assistance.

Regionally speaking, far more propane can be stored in household tanks, as a whole, than can be stored in the large tanks used by local propane suppliers. Having household tanks full before winter begins is taking advantage of this local storage capacity and could help offset any supply problems that develop later if the winter is severe.

Eight open felony cases

Greg Marsten | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – Tyler D. Funk, 23, Luck, was charged with eight counts of felony bail jumping, as well as two misdemeanor counts of criminal damage to property on Friday, Sept. 12, after he is alleged to have stolen a pickup and drove it into a marsh, where it became stuck, and he is also alleged to have broken into the owners unoccupied home to do various forms of damage. 7\OHU ' )XQN Funk was already awaiting court proceedings on no less than eight separate felony cases, for a variety of charges going back to 2012. The latest allegations are related to incidents that allegedly took place on Wednesday, Sept. 10, after Funk became upset about an agreement with a couple that one month ago they had promised to help him by giving him an old pickup WUXFN DIWHU KH VWDFNHG ÀUHZRRG IRU WKHP Funk became upset that they did not give him the truck prior to his doing the

said work, and he and another person allegedly broke a window on the truck, hot wired the ignition and drove the vehicle into a swamp, where it became stuck. The Polk County Sheriff’s Department also detailed charges that Funk allegedly then broke into the couple’s vacant trailer home by kicking in the door, where he then pushed over a woodstove, broke windows and intentionally damaged the access road to the home by doing burnouts, causing ruts so deep they would need to be repaired by the local town workers. PCSD investigators tracked Funk and his accomplice down the next day, where they both admitted to the damage to the truck, road and home. The investigating officer noted that Funk has no less than 10 open felony cases in Polk County currently, including charges relating directly to methamphetamine possession, sales and delivery; theft; intimidating a witness; threatening witnesses; marijuana and paraphernalia possession, as well as literally dozens of bail jumping charges. Funk appeared before Judge Jeffery Anderson on Sept. 12, where he set a $10,000 cash bond and multiple conditions. He also set a preliminary hearing for shortly after press time on his latest case.

One teacher said, “It’s like people were given permission to, and encouraged to, let the past go. The way we started this year was very motivating.â€? At the core of the various concerns and SURSRVHG VROXWLRQV WKH JURXS LGHQWLĂ€HG a lack of unity and a need to focus on a common direction. For Johnson, the solution has to begin at the leadership level. “We need to start right here, in this boardroom,â€? Johnson said. “So, we need to look at a new mission statement.â€? Johnson explained that when you ask people about the current mission statement, no one knows what it is. In unveiling the proposed change, Johnson explained that he wanted it posted everywhere – on the website, on the stationery and in the halls. “If you approve this, the next step is to develop goals to start making this a reality,â€? Johnson urged.

On one level, the proposed mission statement is quite simple: Developing leaders. The word leaders, however, is an acronym for a much taller order. The full version of the mission statement would read: “Developing lifelong learners, empowered individuals, avid achievers, dedicated citizens, engaged minds, responsible students and successful Dragons.â€? “This has been long in coming,â€? JohnVRQ VDLG ´:H QHHGHG WR Ă€QG VRPHWKLQJ to pull us together.â€? Johnson added some personal comments that touched an emotional chord. “This is good,â€? Johnson said with conviction. “This is all for one and one for all, and it feels good. This is the best I’ve felt in a long time.â€?

Brown was arrested and charged with

felony burglary and criminal damage to property. He appeared before a Polk County judge on Monday, Sept. 15, where he set a $1,500 signature bond for his release.

It’s a mistake to check Wisconsin news late at night. It ruins sleep. I read that Wisconsin is one of only three states refusing federal money that would assist the poor with some food and heat in another predicted polar vortex winter. Sleepless, I was thinking of school closings over long weekends last winter, that 40 percent of the kids qualify for meals, of families counting on backpacks with supplemental food. How will they manage? How does our governor, the minister’s son, sleep at night? Surely, he heard Matthew 25 many times. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked ... mere words in an old book? He knows he could choose to use our money, our federal taxes, to help 255,000 citizens and doesn’t. We’ve paid him generously for 26 \HDUV LQ SXEOLF RIĂ€FH :LWK ]HUR FRQcerns about paying for his medical needs, he refused to expand Medicaid. With Koch Brothers as patrons, he’ll always command a salary, yet he refused the chance for job creation by turning away transportation funds granted using our federal taxes. Other states gained because Gov. Walker needed to show his national base how “toughâ€? he is. Wisconsin citizens pay the price. Will Republican friends and acquaintances continue to support a man with clear loyalties to billionDLUHV DURXQG WKH FRXQWU\ ZKR Ă€OOHG his campaign chests with $7.1 million? Can they sleep easily knowing what Walker’s decisions are doing to neighbors with few options? Do pastors still preach Matthew 25 as part of the Good News? Compassionate citizens have a chance to restart Wisconsin, to return to values that place people before corporations. Mary Burke is a candidate who didn’t post photo ops when she used her personal money to elicit matching funds for housing the homeless. Unlike Walker, she wasn’t on a political trajectory when she mentored at-risk kids who went RQ WR Ă€QLVK KLJK VFKRRO DQG DWWHQG college. She’s a wealthy citizen who has answered a call to public service. No one is concerned that she will be indicted for unethical practices. No one thinks she is really running for president.

Vote for Mary Burke Marilyn Brissett-Kruger St. Croix Falls

I took a quick look at liberal Assembly candidate, Travis Schachtner’s ODWHVW FDPSDLJQ Ă€QDQFH UHSRUW , ZDV just curious to see who was funding his ultraliberal, tax-and-spend agenda. I was disappointed when I came away with very few answers. Why, because many of Schachtner’s donations in his last report were categorized as “anonymous.â€? Remember when Al Kruger and Jeff Peterson accused Operation Prosperity, Inc. of getting Koch money? Operation Prosperity, Inc. disclosed where their funds came from (all local). Is Schachtner going to or is there a double standard? I thought liberals were so concerned about dark money and transparency. I guess Schachtner missed that day of liberal indoctrination. With few exceptions, Wisconsin law requires disclosure of nearly all campaign contributions. I am concerned because it seems implausible that much of Schachtner’s contributions meet the disclosure exceptions. And even if they do, it raises questions about whether he is intentionally exploiting loopholes. Should we then VXUPLVH KLV FDPSDLJQ LV Ă€QDQFHG E\ George Soros? I call on Schachtner to come clean and disclose all of his donors. The other thing that concerns me is the huge percentage of his disclosed donations that come from big labor. Over half of the donations disclosed in Schachtner’s most recent report are from big labor. Clearly he didn’t miss that day in liberal school about sucking up to big labor in exchange for campaign contributions. Liberal Assembly candidate Schachtner has spent most of this campaign trying to win over big unions. It looks as though he has been rewarded for his support and obedience with generous campaign contributions from big unions. On Labor Day, he proudly posted a bumper sticker on his website which said “Drive American - Build with Union Labor.â€? Perhaps Schachtner’s Polk County Democrat Party missed this message. In several parades around the county this summer, I noticed something peculiar. The Polk County Democrats parade vehicle was a Volvo station wagon with Minnesota license plates. Is this how they intend to “restart Wisconsinâ€? with foreign vehicles and out-of-st,ate plates?

Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Congressman Sean Duffy, Wis.-District 7, voted against the Violence Against Women Act extension. Duffy and a majority of congressional Republicans opposed The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, blocking its reauthorization for more than a year. When asked at a Spooner Town Hall Meeting if he would work at the federal level to require mandatory vaginal ultrasound laws such as the one signed by Gov. Walker, he feigned ignorance saying, “I’ve never had one so I don’t know what it is.â€? 2. Again, Johnson and Duffy voted against raising the federal minimum wage. Women make up about twothirds of all workers who are paid minimum wage or less, and 60 percent of full-time minimum wage workers. It’s as much a women’s issue as an economic issue. 3. Republicans voted against Paycheck Fairness, which would give equal wages to women as their male counterparts. There are more reasons to vote against these antiwomen Republicans and for Democratic women this cycle, but tt’s simple. When women have a seat at the negotiating table, better decisions are made. On Nov. 4 voters have the opportunity to elect Mary Burke for governor, Kelly Westlund for Congress, and Janet Bewley for state Senate to end these antiwomen votes in Madison and Washington.

Barn burner in the Burg Frederic’s Peter Chenal scores game winner with œŔ seconds left over Grantsburg

Extra Points

Frederic 42, Grantsburg 38 Scott Hoffman |Staff writer GRANTSBURG – Anytime you have a football game that has a combined score in excess of 80 points, you will probably remember that game for quite awhile. That was the case on Friday, Sept. 19, when Frederic rained on Grantsburg’s homecoming. Frederic’s punishing Peter Chenal carried the Frederic Vikings on his back along with a couple of Grantsburg defenders into the end zone with 12 seconds left to seal the win. Grantsburg’s head coach coach Adam Hale was disappointed but gave credit where it was due. �Credit the Frederic kids for coming back on that last drive. Both teams played hard and never gave up. It was an exciting game, and we just couldn’t get the big stop in the end.� Grantsburg started off the scoring on a 21-yard pass from quarterback Tristan Brewer, 23-31, three touchdowns, two interceptions, to Andrew Coy, 8-136, two touchdowns. That was quickly answered by Frederic on a long 38-yard pass from quarterback Austin Ennis, 5-112, two touchdowns, to tight end Zach Schmidt, 3-52, two touchdowns. Grantsburg then turned the ball over, allowing Frederic to take the lead and hold it until 9:27 to go in the game when the Pirates evened the score at 35. Grantsburg’s defense stiffened and was able to hold Chenal in check, which allowed the offense to drive the ball into the red zone. But the Pirates were unable to get the ball into the end zone, and in-

The Pirate defense got a heavy dose of Chenal in that last drive, mixed in with several long pass attempts to help control the clock. With 12 seconds on the clock, Chenal barely broke the plane of the goal line, with at least one Pirate on his back. Defensively the Pirates were led by Cody Hoffman and Mason McEvers. Frederic’s Chenal is currently second in the state in all divisions in rushing, with 1,141 yards, and third in yards-per-game average with an amazing 228.3. His stats

for this game were 38 carries for 251 yards and four touchdowns. Hale had to admire his team’s comeback and Chenal’s desire to win. �I was proud of how our team battled back and got the lead with just over a minute to play, but we had too many assignment mistakes on defense to stop a running back like Chenal.� This week is homecoming week for the Frederic Vikings, who will host St. Croix Falls this Friday, Sept. 26, beginning at 7 p.m. The Pirates travel to Clayton’s homecoming game slated for Saturday Sept. 27, beginning at 2 p.m.

Even though the Cardinals did eventually lose that game 19–25, they fought hard for each point, and this was a sign of things to come. Game two was a total domination by Luck, and the tone was being set by big kills by Angela Gore and sneaky, quick sets by Reilly Giller that would catch the Pirates out of position. Game three was more even, and Grantsburg was able to keep pace for most of the game, yet never had the lead, eventually falling 25-17. In the fourth, the teams were able to stay close, with the Pirates gaining a two-point advantage, leading 9-7, before Luck called a time-out and then fought back to tie the game at 10 and again at 13.

Feeding ban continues SPOONER — A ban on feeding whitetailed deer in Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties remains in effect and will be enforced by Wisconsin conservation wardens. The ban was implemented May 10, 2012, due to the discovery of chronic wasting disease in a wild whitetailed deer on private land in Washburn County. Barron, Burnett and Polk counties are within a 10-mile radius of the location of

the Washburn County property on which this CWD-positive deer was found. State law requires that counties, or portions of counties within a 10-mile radius of a game farm or free-ranging CWD-positive deer discovery, are included in the baiting and feeding prohibition. Baiting and feeding of deer is now banned in 32 Wisconsin counties. “We want to remind residents of the four counties that there is still a ban on

Feeding and baiting increase risks of spreading communicable diseases, like CWD, by concentrating deer in one spot. Deer using one spot are more at risk for spreading a disease.

What kind of fair chase was employed with that roasted chicken or that steak on your dinner table? Bear hunting is both economically and ecologically important in Wisconsin. Ecologically speaking, an overpopulation of bear would be detrimental to our beautiful Wisconsin wilderness. The natural ecosystem of our forests can only support a certain number of any animal, including bear, before the impact becomes too much and nature’s carefully crafted hierarchy starts to crumble.

According to The International Association of Fish and Wildlife Organization, hunters spend $5.3 billion on hunting related travel, $6.4 billion on hunting equipment and $8.4 billion on other bigticket items. Hunters also support over a million jobs. And all of this is just inside the United States. Hunting stimulates the economy. There are numerous organizations and groups of anti-hunters that want to ban hunting for all of us. There are social media pages solely dedicated to the destruction of our hunting rights. Bills to ban different kinds of hunting appear in the Senate regularly. If you are an outdoorsman or conservationist that does any hunting of any kind, stand by other types of hunting that you might not agree with. As people that support hunting, we need to stand by each other to protect the rights our forefathers gave us. – Caleb Pardun is a ninth-grade student from Webster High School

At the Forts, the buck actually pranced out of the woods behind the visitors center, the fall foliage making for a spectacular backdrop. “Amazement would probably best describe onlookers’ reactions,â€? said Jordan Buck art project manager Harriet Rice. Before the animated sculpture was revealed, a documentary titled, “Animating a Local Legend; When You Come, We Will Build itâ€? was screened, telling the Jordan Buck story as well as explaining and showing the entire creative process. At the WTU banquet, the Jordan Buck animators faced a challenge: an 8-foot ceiling for a 9-foot-tall animal that had to enter through normal-size double doors and prance to the front of the room through a narrow gauntlet of chairs occupied by diners. But the Jordan Buck stole the show even before it came through the doors. While Rice was speaking to the group, the eyes and antlers appeared outside and were visible through the high windows as the buck was mak-

ing its way to the front doors. The audience erupted in laughter. After the buck made its entrance, theater artist and puppet designer/builder Chris Lutter performed an original song he wrote, “The Ballad of the Jordan Buck,� accompanying himself on guitar and harmonica. Lutter also trained the two teen animators, Anthony and Tucker, who worked the head, ears and tail, making

the puppet even more lifelike. They were introduced and roundly applauded for their work. 7KH NLGV ZHUH FDSWLYDWHG &DPHUDV Ă DVKHG (YHU\RQH smiled. Various comments heard throughout the evening are best summarized by the phrases “Wow, I never expected thatâ€? and “Man, I was blown away!â€? “They’ll be talking about it for a long time,â€? noted Rice. As Mike Kornmann, UW-Extension community development agent, exclaimed during his remarks, “Let Jordan Buck mania begin!â€? The next appearance of the Jordan Buck is on Oct. 4, 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., at the Crex Meadows Wildlife Festival in Grantsburg, and at the Jordan Buck Centennial Extravaganza banquet, 5 p.m. at Northwoods Crossing in Siren.

Stories from the NW Wisconsin community

A sustainable living community garden Students create, maintain gardens that have brought people together for a healthier community Janine McNulty | LCOOCC St. Croix TRIO adviser/ assistant program coordinator HERTEL — Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe Community College at the St. Croix Outreach in Hertel has had a Sustainable Living Community Garden program in place since the summer of 2011. The gardens have expanded to four gardens at the Hertel site, a garden in the Maple Plain and Round Lake communities, a garden at the St. Croix Clinic and raised beds at the St. Croix Head Start planted and harvested by their students. The garden program got its start from a grant by the North Country Master Gardeners, and along with the UW Ag Extension Agency, they have continued to support the LCOOCC St. Croix Sustainable Living Community Gardens. Three Sisters is a traditional Native American garden that is corn, beans and squash representing the three sisters. Each sister has a role. The corn helps the beans climb, the beans give nitrogen to the soil, and the squash covers the ground to keep the weeds out and little feet from entering, as raccoons don’t like the prickles.

Recent hail brought the beautiful tobacco plants down, so they were harvested and with the help of the LCOOCC Ethnobotany class, they will properly hang the leaves to dry and learn about sacred use of tobacco at the same time.

The research garden began two summers ago through a research project of an LCOOCC student. LCOOCC College has outreach sites at the Lac Du Flambeau, Red Cliff, Bad River and St. Croix reservations as well as their own gardens at the main campus at Lac Courte Oreilles in Hayward. Each reservation was given vegetable seedlings and seeds to be planted in a garden in the same pattern at each location. Then at the end of the summer, the produce documentation would reveal which reservation grows which vegetable the best, someday hopefully leading to an intertribal agriculture trade. The Elder Nutrition Site has a garden raised tall enough for the elders to walk around without bending over. Native Ă RZHUV DQG JUDVVHV DORQJ ZLWK EHQFKHV surround the raised beds of produce, providing an area for sitting. St. Croix also has a vegetable garden in the Round Lake community near Turtle Lake and a garden in the Maple Plain community near Cumberland, and the original garden in Hertel. The St. Croix Clinic has started a garden this summer behind their building in which the clinic and LCOOCC have shared resources and community education programs. Head Start has gardens and plans to expand them into their playground with tasteable herb gardens. All of these gardens are taken care of by LCOOCC student interns, members of the communities, high school participants in the Summer Youth Enrichment Scholarship program, and Barron and Cumberland schools community outreach. The produce may be given away, used by the Elder Nutrition Site for elder lunch,

This year the college was able to help community members dig home gardens by use of the college’s tiller as well as providing seeds to start personal gardens given by the UW Ag Extension Agency in Spooner and the St. Croix Clinic. The goal is to provide healthy food for people and encourage eating healthy meals like those the Ojibwe have traditionally eaten. People who gather and care about their food will care about what goes into their bodies. People need better access to healthy foods and LCOOCC and St. Croix clinic are determined to break the barriers that keep people from healthy foods. J. Willie Williams is the community outreach worker at Barron and Cumberland school districts and the the Barron County Restorative Justice Program. He has been growing a community garden in the Maple Plain community. LCOOCC connected with him and collaborated on their gardening projects. He commented, “The garden produced quite well with neighbors dropping in to harvest produce for themselves. It had lettuce and radishes and peas in spring and now has broccoli, corn, tomatoes, peppers, squash, onions, potatoes, brussels sprouts and tobacco. The fence may not be the sturdiest — a deer hoof could easily tear it — but it may be just enough to make it more than a deer or other vermin will want to mess with. “It also is a statement to residents that this little plot is valued. John Bearhart deserves all the credit for getting the fence and making sure it got done even when we ran out of materials. “Scott Burhop, who is an LCOOCC stu-

People are excited to see the gardens grow and produce. Just like gardens everywhere, it brings people close to the earth, creates a sense of community and is funded on a shoestring budget. Look what happens when a few people start a project, connect together, and create a healthier community for all.

But it also includes the frustration and stress of broken equipment, long hours and trying to “git-’er-doneâ€? before the weather turns bad. That combination is what makes farming the most dangerous occupation of any industry. This is Farm Safety Week, Sept. 21-27, a time to remind farmers and others of the dangers of farming and being around equipment.

irthdays come and go and I don’t get too excited about them. I quit counting quite a while ago but I do occasionally review the tally just to make sure I didn’t miss a chance to apply for Social Security. Thankfully, the tally isn’t that high yet but the day is approaching. This year I had a very good birthday. It wasn’t because of breakfast in bed. I got up as usual and made the coffee and also made my own breakfast, French toast with real Wisconsin butter and maple syrup. I also made my wife breakfast, a big, brown egg from the backyard chicken coop with a sassy, RUDQJH \RON RQ DQ (QJOLVK PXIÀQ , KDG a good birthday but it wasn’t because of the breakfast.

I’m not complaining, I got what I wanted and even if it wasn’t my birthday I would have bought it anyway, so there. But that’s not why I had a good birthday. For the entire day I refused to look at the news, listen to the radio or check the Internet. I didn’t look to see if the stock market went up or down because I didn’t really care. I didn’t care if the Middle East erupted into violence or if Scotland decided to keep the Loch Ness monster all to themselves.

When I noticed several bottles with less than 1 inch left, I tried to use them XS IRU YHJJLH GLSV ZLWK FDXOLĂ RZHU celery and carrots. This is where the fat-free ranch (Ugh!), Green Goddess and chunky blue cheese bottles went. Good riddance! When MarketPlace discontinued their berry balsamic, perfect for that blueberry salad, I actually grieved, imploring the produce manager to plead with the Marzetti vendor to reconsider stocking it. A frantic, massive search ensued to Cub, Brines, where I found peach, and various and sundry grocery stores all over tarnation! For the copied mandarin orange, chicken and pea-pod Oriental salad from Wayne’s, I secured a recipe for their poppy-seed dressing and tried making it with Splenda to cut the cost and carbs. We used up a substitute creamy poppy-seed dressing and a Trader Joe’s cilantro bottle on that salad. We accumulated quite a few brands of half-used light French that we used on vegetable and shrimp salads with hard-boiled eggs and shredded cheese. The Jimmy Dean coleslaw dressing had been in there so long, I had no compunction pouring that one down the grinder!

Along with the above, I recently emptied a large jar of Hellman’s mayonnaise and small jelly jar, a Christmas gift from a friend’s grapevines on her roadside fence. That jar I’ve laid out to return to her. I’ve been using an inordinate amount of my very favorite Kraft bacon ranch dressing for my cauliĂ RZHU FUDQEHUU\ DQG ZDOQXW VDODG and veggie dips, so many of those bottles have paraded through. My Scotch heritage plays into tipping the almostempty bottles upside down, mouth to mouth, to drain out the remains into the new bottle below. Now there is more space on my two dressing door shelves. The bottles even rattle a little and tilt over, rather than being packed in chest to chest. There are still several French, blue cheese and three raspberry vinaigrettes (too “biteyâ€? for our taste!) to use up. There are two Green Goddesses and a new bacon ranch, with a platoon of more, lined up in the cupboard (bought on sale), still to use. The loneliest one is a small French spritz bottle that sits in the corner of the lower shelf waiting until I go on a serious diet, or my daughter, who raved about it and inspired me to buy it, comes over to have salad! About the writer: Vicki Engel, retired after 40 years of kindergarten teaching, writes stories and poems about her 3-yearold grandson, family events, her cabin in the North Woods and memories from the seasons of her life. “I love words and humor! And I am a lifelong learner,â€? she says.

LeMar Grafft, associate director of the North Carolina Agromedical Institute and a former Iowa farmer. “We still have a lot of older tractors being used out there, and there is always some risk with them,� he says. “Twenty to 25 percent of tractor fatalities are related to a lack of ROPS.� Grafft adds ATVs, machinery shield issues and poor electrical work to the list of top causes for fatal injuries on the farm. Even though farmers are well aware of the need for shields on PTO shafts and other moving parts, every year someone is killed because the shields were removed. Having to move big equipment brings the added danger of colliding with cars with drivers not used to seeing augers and combines on the roads. While the dangers of farming and the

cause of deaths is “old newsâ€? to most farmers, the goal of Farm Safety Week is to remind farmers of the dangers and make them more aware of just how dangerous their business can be. I’d like to add my own reminder. While it’s great “together timeâ€? having a youngster ride along, every year at harvest time we hear of young children being killed because they wanted to ride on the tractor with Mom or Dad, even in an enclosed cab. There will be plenty of other opportunities to spend time with your kids, but it’s not during the most hectic time on a farm.

are important issues but at least for one day I wanted to ignore the things that I KDG QR ZD\ RI HYHU FKDQJLQJ RU LQà Xencing, so I decided to not even look. We had a wonderful supper, cooked outside on my new camp cooker. I planned the supper of brats, hamburgers, sweet corn and beans and a big watermelon and I cooked it myself for the family. We all ate more than we needed and as much as we wanted and it was good. However, I didn’t have to clean up, that was really good. But that wasn’t why I had a good birthday. I love the outdoors and I spent the entire day there. I hiked and played and cut trees and took pictures of colorful OHDYHV DQG à RZHUV DQG , HQMR\HG HYHU\ minute of it. I had so much fun that I IRUJRW WR HDW OXQFK DQG WKDW ZDV ÀQH EHcause I ate too much at supper anyway. But that wasn’t why I had a good birthday, either. It seems the more time passes, the more we become aware of the things that really matter. It isn’t something you can buy. If that were the case, then every millionaire and billionaire would be completely happy and content. We

know that isn’t true. In my opinion, basically everything that can be bought doesn’t have real intrinsic value. It isn’t something that you accomplish either. Company presidents and star athletes are not always happy; in fact, many of them are incredibly unhappy when they realize reaching that lofty goal they were striving for somehow wasn’t all it was made out to be. Throughout the day I continually received phone calls and texts from each and every member of my family. Unsolicited birthday wishes and warm and sincere “I love you, Dad.â€? I received so many calls and texts that my day of doing nothing was frightfully interrupted.

Follow the bagpipes into history

f you’re out and about on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 11, and you happen to hear a loud, screeching, otherworldly noise emanating from the vicinity of Forts Folle Avoine, do not be alarmed. What you’re hearing is the swirling screech of one George McKay’s bagpipes as he clubs a beaver. Whoa – QR QRW WKDW 2." , PHDQW WR VD\ DV KH entertains the diners at this year’s Beaver Club banquet.

Sitting in the candlelit room, decorated in fur trade style, you can readily imagine yourself as a special guest at one of the original gala occasions, with your hosts the prestigious gentlemen of the famed North West Company. The year will be 1807, and the visitors center will be transformed into Dillon’s Montreal Hotel, where many of the original Beaver Club dinners took place. Presiding over the event will be Charles Jean Baptiste Chaboillez and Alexander Henry, retired fur traders who’d founded the club in 1785. The original Beaver Club was considered the most elite gathering place for all who had wintered over in the wilderness –

Woodswhimsy the gnome indeed that was a prime requirement for being voted into membership. Alas, only the higher ranks attained the status of Beaver Club members, but they were known to have special guests from outside their ranks. So the presence of guests from the year 2014 may boggle their minds a tad, but they’ll welcome you nonetheless. And, as mentioned, the music of bagpipes will audibly take you back in time. This year’s piper will be portraying George McKay, who had been the personal piper to the North West Company’s grand bourgeois, Mr. Simon McTavish. Alas, while McTavish died in 1804, the previously mentioned Mr. Chaboillez was his son-in-law. In turn, Chaboillez’s son had also worked with McKay, so the sentiments between the piper and the McTavish/Chaboillez family remained strong. In modern life, the piper portraying McKay is actually one Jeremy Kingsbury, who spends his summers as a park ranger at Grand Portage National Monument, a site commemorating the inland headquarters of the North West Company. Here McKay’s pipes were probably heard at many a gentleman’s ball and also as he escorted McTavish and his associates around in style. With so many Highland Scots emigres in the ranks of the fur traders, it was a natural for these self-styled “lords of the lakes and forests� to have a special fondness for the pomp and swagger of the piping tunes.

While researching the life of the original McKay, today’s Jeremy Kingsbury located the following reference to him: “George McKay was counted one of the Ă€QHVW SHUIRUPHUV RQ WKDW LQVWUXPHQW LQ Scotland. Mr. McTavish gave him 50 pounds (British currency) and free passage to Canada for the purpose of playing to the inland Gentlemen at Grand Portage while they stay there ... but the 1RUWK :HVW &RPSDQ\ Ă€QGLQJ KLP D man suited to be a trader, sent him inland with additional wages.â€? Kingsbury’s piping pedigree goes back to his youth in southeastern Wisconsin, where he took lessons and played in a Milwaukee pipe band. His research indicates that a George McKay probably played during the War of 1812 for the British troops, probably the same chap from before. Jeremy ZDV DVWRQLVKHG KH VD\V WR Ă€QG ´WKDW George McKay’s pipes still survive, and

The only WKLQJ KH KDVQ¡W GRQH LV WR Ă€JXUH RXW D sure way to prove if indeed they are the exact pipes McKay played in fur trade times, but he’s reasonably certain the connection is valid. This year’s Beaver Club participants may be closer to the real history of the fur trade than they imagined; especially when they hear those pipes.

When all was said and done, the 2014 Falls Book Fest netted D SURÀW RI IURP D FRPELQDWLRQ RI miniature golf, a bake sale, a used book sale and drawings. This event was a culmination of months of planning on the part of the book fest committee, and many hours of volunteer time manning the event itself. They couldn’t have done it without each and every person involved.

The miniature golf hole sponsors included St. Croix Auto Body, Tangen Drug, St. Croix River Association, St. Croix Family Dentistry, Central Bank, RCU Credit Union, Mayor Brian Blesi, John and Pam Horwich, Mark and Barb Boyken, Al and Marilyn Krueger and Debbie Johnson of Usborne Books. Drawings were held on Saturday for some very special coffee-table books, videos, a game and, most particularly, an altered book table designed and constructed by Matti Gerlach. Gerlach is a

2014 graduate of St. Croix Falls High School and a current freshman at UWStout, studying interior design. Gerlach also arranged for Indianhead Glass to GRQDWH WKH JODVV QHHGHG WR SXW WKH ÀQDO protective touch on the tabletop. The proceeds for the drawings totaled $102, with Gerlach’s table bringing in the most entries at $60. The winner of that table was Rita Platt, the elementary school librarian. Pizza Planet and the Dalles Bakery and CafÊ sold food outside the library. Amy Middleton brought her cheese curds to

sell, donating a portion of her proceeds to the library. Johnson had a booth set up outside the library to sell her children’s books. Her sales left the library with a credit of $250 toward the future purchase of books. All in all, this year’s fundraising event can be declared a complete success because of the many people who volunteered their time and their services. The community can be very proud of their beautiful library and dedicated library staff. – submitted

We need toys, clothing and cash to see that children have a nice Christmas. First, I apologize for using the word cash, but money didn’t seem desperate enough. We do not provide the entire Christmas for all of the children who apply.

I want to make it very clear, we cannot do it all. If you order a snowmobile for your child, chances are very good that they won’t get it. Now, a Barbie doll is another matter. For those of you who don’t believe that people ask for snowmobiles for their kids, you are sadly mistaken. Snowmobiles, computers and even a side-by-side refrigerator have been the gifts of choice for some families. That’s not going to happen, folks. Be reasonable now. We are a little group from a little county that handles a big project, but there is a limit. By the time you read this, the wish lists will be at the government center to be picked up, only one per child. Mom, Dad and Grandma can’t request for the same child. I know, the rules are strict, but ... wait, I am just kidding. Rules are rules and we must obey them or Santa will leave us coal in our stockings. Of course coal can be used for heating ‌ oh, never mind, coal for a child is not nice. If you have any questions about Christmas for Kids RU +HDW D +RPH MXVW FDOO RXU RIÀFH DW See you all next month.

hen the show begins and the stage lights come up at St. Croix Festival Theatre, there is one person you will never see – Peter Weber. But it is :HEHU ZKRVH JUHDW LQĂ XHQFH UXQV WKURXJK HYHU\ VKRZ RQ )HVWLYDO¡V VWDJH 2IĂ€FLDOO\ :HEHU LV WKH WKHDWHU¡V technical director, but to those who work and play with him, he is Stage, SM, Weber or Pedro, sometimes Captain, but mostly just Peter. Since his debut at Festival in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brownâ€? in 2008, Weber has been involved in every aspect of technical production including, most recently, “The 39 Stepsâ€? as stage manager, sound design and technician, and lighting design and technician, and he is currently working in the same capacities on the upcoming production of “The Miser.â€? Weber grew up in the countryside near Eureka. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in studio arts at Northland College before returning to St. Croix Falls where he has resided for the past several years. Although he works full time for the theater, Weber has recently been learning timber-frame building, and when he isn’t pursuing his hobbies of reading, history, huntLQJ Ă€VKLQJ DQG SKRWRJUDSK\ \RX PLJKW Ă€QG KLP pursuing his alternate “hobby careerâ€? of farming. Festival Theatre’s artistic director, Jaclyn Johnson, glows when she speaks about Weber. “Peter’s work encompasses so much at Festival Theatre. He is car-

He is in charge of making sure that the set gets built on time, actors are at the theater when they are expected, the last patron is in the door before calling, ‘Places,’ and the screw guns are charged before the set is struck after WKH Ă€QDO SHUIRUPDQFH 3HWHU 3HWHU :HEHU does all of that and much, much more.

Says Weber, “Most of my training at Festival TheDWUH KDV KDSSHQHG RQ WKH VSRW 7KH Ă€UVW WLPH , UDQ D show on a light board was the third time I had ever seen one. ‘The 39 Steps’ was a great challenge. It’s a lot of work to take on just one of these roles, so that being stage manager and doing lighting and sound is daunting at times. However, having all aspects of a complex sound and lighting design in mind as I’m running a show is very helpful in having the production elements mesh and the show run smoothly.â€? Weber enjoys the surprises and the exhilaration that theater brings. “I love hanging out with friends. I love having friends whom I have worked with in past shows return to the theater to see a show or perform in a new role. I love it when an audience gets a joke that previous audiences have missed. Most of all I love the exhilaration of opening a show when the stress disappears and the magic begins.â€? Weber’s advice to young theater artists is, “Don’t worry about it!â€? Weber’s current work can be seen at Festival Theatre in “The Miserâ€? which opens Thursday, Oct. 2. 2UGHU \RXU WLFNHWV DW ER[RIĂ€FH#IHVWLYDOWKHDWUH RUJ E\ FDOOLQJ WKH )HVWLYDO 7KHDWUH ER[ RIĂ€FH DW or online at festivaltheatre.org.

Nolte organ travels again LUCK – A small, six-rank, two-manual pipe organ with full pedal board built by Howard Nolte, of Ulm Orgelwerke Inc. of Luck, was recently purchased by a church in Seward, Neb. Dr. Charles Krutz, a retired music professor from Concordia University in Seward, will be arriving this weekend to examine the instrument. Krutz will be accompanied by Paul Soulek, who will be the dedicatory recitalist. The two will be playing the instrument and will discuss preparations for the organ installation. Krutz and Nolte met years ago, through a shared interest LQ RUJDQV DQG Ă \LQJ ZKHQ 1ROWH ODQGHG at Krutz’s airstrip on a visit to Seward. Coincidentally, Soulek served as Nolte’s tuning assistant while a high school student. The organ was started in 1972 and was designed to be a house organ. The instrument was used in 1976 at the Baroque Music Festival in Eagle River and then traveled to Jamestown for a full-length performance of Handel’s “Messiahâ€? with the Jamestown Area Choral Union. From there it settled at St. Matthias Episcopal Church in Minocqua until the fall of 2013

when it was moved back to the workshop. Since the organ has been purchased by the Seward church, it has been undergoing a complete upgrade in the switching action so the organist can record the playing of the instrument into the computer, which can then, literally, play the organ in return. Nolte has done all the voicing of the pipes on this instrument including the 12 principal pipes that were just added. The public is invited to hear this instrument played at an open house from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, in the shop of Ulm Orgelwerke Inc. located at 2381 175th St., Luck. – submitted

Walk for the Animals raises more than $6,000 for shelter AMERY - The Arnell Memorial Humane Society hosted its annual Walk for the Animals on Saturday, Sept. 20, with proceeds going to help the society care for stray, abandoned and surrendered pets in need of a helping hand. Participants were encouraged to collect pledges from family, friends and co-workers, and strangers who love

animals. Prizes were awarded for the top dollar pledge registrants. This year there were 71 walkers and 32 sponsors and the event raised $6,200 for the shelter. Participants had an opportunity to have a professional photo taken with their pets, and there was music and a food stand at the walk.

The event has been a mainstay of the society’s fundraising since 1997 and helped raise funds to open the shelter’s doors in February of 2000. - with submitted information

Great pumpkins weigh in at Grantoberfest Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer GRANTSBURG – A group of proud pumpkin growers gathered ‘round the scale, excitedly watching, as one by one their sizable squashes were weighed. The winners of this year’s Great Pumpkin Contest would soon be announced. Each spring Wood River Garden Store gives pumpkin plants to any youngster who wants to try to grow a great pumpkin.

Adoption can make a lifechanging difference for families Q: Would you recommend adopting a child from another country or a different ethnic group? My spouse and I are seriously interested in helping a youngster who needs a home, but we’re unsure about the potential risks and challenges of interracial or intercultural adoption. Jim: Let me applaud you for your willingness to bring a needy child into your home. As you may know, Focus on the Family’s Adoption and Orphan Care Initiative was developed to raise awareness about the plight of orphans and to urge people to become involved. With 100,000 children waiting to be adopted here in the United States and more than 150 million orphans worldwide, it’s clear that there’s an opportunity to make a life-changing difference in these precious lives. As one who was orphaned at a young age, I would wholeheartedly support and encourage families to welcome any child awaiting adoption with open arms, regardless of his or her nationality or ethnic origin. It’s important, however, for everyone to be aware of and prepared for relational dynamics that might potentially have an impact. For example, if someone in the neighborhood,

up for our safety. After all, we are surrounded by things that appear innocent and enjoyable, but hide danger. It’s best to heed the warnings of the Bible, too. God’s word is full of them. As followers of Christ, we need to be watchful so we won’t fall away from our faith. We should pray daily that our faith will not falter, that our minds and hearts remain pure, that we will not compromise our beliefs and actions with those of the world.
