Editor’s note: The Boston Marathon is con-sidered to be America’s most prestigious mar-athon. Each year the event draws more than 20,000 competitors and 500,000 spectators from all over the world. The marathon, started in 1897 and modeled after the 1896 Olympic event, is held each year on Patriots’ Day, the day commemorating the anniversary of the

War. Of the nearly 450 Wisconsin residents to qualify for this year’s marathon, approxi-mately 350 completed the 26-plus mile event.

FREDERIC - There was a frosty start to a new Habitat for Humanity project in Frederic on Saturday, April 13. A brief service was held and ground was broken

through a layer of snow. A home will be built starting soon at 521 Benson Road with volunteers and with Jared and Krista Moe, the family who will own the home when it is complete.

Carole and Todd Wondra, Frederic, who donated the land, were present. It was originally owned by her uncle and aunt, Martin and Tillie Hanson. They farmed the land, as did Carole’s parents, but the land has been vacant for a num-ber of years. Carole said at the service that Martin and Tillie had no children of their own, but had “adopted” many children into their lives. She said the children that will grow up on this land will, in a sense, be Martin and Tillie’s kids, too, and she knew how happy that would make them.

William Johnson IV, Frederic Vil-lage president, said the village board is pleased that Habitat will build a home on land that has been vacant for so long. The eight-acre parcel is expected to be the site for several homes over the next years.

Eric Kube, executive director of Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity, explained that this home will be built very quickly, as it will be part of an AmeriCorps Build-A-Thon which Habitat will host here starting May 6. That week, 80 AmeriCorps members from all over the United States will be here to build and repair homes. A home in Frederic and one in Luck will be

built, and a number of other painting and repair projects will be completed as well.

The build is expected to be under way this week. It will start as soon as the exca-vating work can be completed, which is dependent on a weather warm-up. Those interested in getting involved in this build may contact WRHFH at 715-483-2700. Do-nations may be sent to 2201 U.S. Hwy. 8, St. Croix Falls, WI 54024.

MILLTOWN - Jared and Krista Moe, of Milltown, were born and bred in Polk County. Krista grew up in St. Croix Falls and Jared in Milltown. “We both tried to leave,” said Krista, smiling, “and we both came back. We have family here and we want to be near them.”

They are both musical – both were in bands when they met 10 years ago. Krista played the trombone in a jazz band and Jared sang in a rock group. They’ve been together since then, are married with two kids, Isaiah, 5, and Laurel, 1 year old.

Jared has worked construction and as a cook. He recently changed jobs and is working at the bakery in Frederic so that he can be home evenings with the kids. “He took a pay cut to do it, but it was im-portant for our family, so he did it,” said Krista.

He has had some health issues. Twice he has experienced spontaneous lung collapse, an extremely painful thing. One quarter of one of his lungs has been cut off and stapled shut. He did not have

Krista tried three times to go away to study at the university, but it was just too big for her. “I felt lost in the crowd,” she said. So she came home, and now is studying to be an occupational therapy assistant at WITC - New Richmond. “I couldn’t do it without Jared’s help,” she said. Krista also works at the Milltown Library.

The Moe family is renting a two-bed-room duplex in Milltown. It’s a decent place, but it’s very small, 750 square feet. Their two kids, a boy and a girl, share a room, which is far from ideal.

They’d love to own a home, but they didn’t qualify for a loan. “We’d be get-ting close to qualify, then it’s the car, it’s a dental bill, something comes up. You start to think, ‘What’s next, we’re never going to get there,’” said Jared.

When they were selected for a Habi-tat home, they were elated. “We’ve been working so hard and this is the break we needed,” said Krista.

Cumberland dealervisits third school in area

by Greg MarstenLeader staff writer

LUCK – Luck High School was the latest local school to have Cifaldi Motors of Cumberland and Ford Mo-tors hold a unique fundraiser, where schools are given credit for community test drives during one event, held on Saturday, April 6,where four new 2013 Fords were put through their paces by a steady stream of potential buyers.

The coaches and players for the Luck boys baseball and football teams assisted all day with providing food, instruction and management of the prizes.

Michael and Patrick Cifaldi spent the day at the school, answering questions and assisting with the test drives.

“This is the third time we’ve done this,” stated Patrick

year in Shell Lake. I think they’re really good events and gives the schools a chance to earn great money!”

The event was sponsored by Ford and ran for seven

hours, during which time the school was credited $20 for each test drive, up to $6,000.

Both the district and the dealership promoted the event, which drew a steady crowd of potential new-car buyers and outright school supporters in for up to four test drives, each.

Cifaldi Motors reported that the event did indeed reach the maximum, in spite of the rainy, windy weather that day.

“(Even) in the cold wind and rain, (they) made the Drive One 4 UR School event a big success at Luck High School. We were able to raise the $6,000 for the school ... We’d also like to thank the coaches and kids that helped out with the event,” stated the Cumberland dealer in a released statement.

The students who volunteered that day also posed for several group photos that may earn them even more money later, as part of a secondary contest among the participating schools. Cifaldi said they might be able to even double the $6,000 the school already earned.

The ninth life

It wasn’t entirely unex-pected.

Lucy’s health has been going steadily downhill. My cat’s age was listed as “mature” when I adopted her, eight years ago, and she has always had health problems since she was found in the woods with an infestation of ear mites that took both eardrums. I adopted her after she spent a year with the humane society. She lived with me in Africa, was microchipped for travel through Frankfort, shared guacamole with me in Amsterdam and went camping in northern Min-nesota. She has had a full life. But lately she has not been doing well.

Still, I was surprised when I came home Friday af-

She seemed to have had a stroke or something similar. One eye was unfocused; she could not walk across the room. When she tried, she walked in cir-cles, around and around, crying. She was confused. She could not eat. I realized that I had better get ready to say goodbye to Lucy.

That night was hard. Lucy kept pacing, looking

nervous. He would growl when Lucy started pacing over by his bed. (Milo will not be winning any Flor-ence Nightingale awards.)

Lucy has never weighed more than 6 pounds, but now she was losing a lot of weight. When I stroked her back, I felt every vertebrate. She was fur-covered bones. The next day, she stopped pacing. She seemed exhausted. When I came into the room she would notice me and, looking off in slightly the wrong di-rection, she would meow. I sat by her and petted her and she purred loudly.

By the third day, I was making preparations. How

would I know if she became too uncomfortable? Where would I take her if I woke up and she was dead? Living so far from my farmhouse, it made me sad that she would not be joining my other pets, buried together under the willow tree. My landlord,

Robert, gave me the phone number of a kind and un-derstanding vet who was open weekends. “For when you need it,” he told me, and I thanked him.

The next night I sat up every hour or so to see if Lucy was still breathing. When I saw the tips of her ears move, I lay down again and went back to sleep.

The next morning, when I woke, Lucy was sitting on the arm of the chair, looking at me.

Her eye was no longer looking sideways. She looked at me and meowed. She jumped down and

She looked at the food. She looked at me. She me-owed again.

“OK,” I said. “You’re not dead and now you’re hungry.”

We started with liquid food from the vet. I squirted it down her throat with an oversized syringe. Lucy liked it. Two days later, I put the liquid food directly into her bowl. She ate it all and demanded more. I replaced the liquid food with canned food. She liked that a lot and started putting on weight. Her sinuses

-came round.

“Lucy, how many lives do you have left?” I asked her this morning as she hopped off the chair and came to see me. She purred.

-ure I should do the same.

Till next time,—Carrie

Cranky people

In a world where many things happen beyond our control,

we become frustrated. Frustration leads to meddling and soon the new problem is worse than the original. In our efforts to assert some measure of control over our surroundings and our world in general we begin by assigning names or genders to make us feel better. It is as if we have more control when we give something a name. Parents are that way. If they just called you “Hey kid” from the

“Hey, Bobby … or Jenny … or Katrina … ” When your name is called you should listen. It isn’t until parents use your full name that parents demonstrate their full measure of authority. “Oliver Douglas Wendell Smith! I am talking to you!” Of course the child still didn’t listen.

Hurricanes or major storms are named and, with that, we can determine their personality and perhaps we can begin to understand or control it. Katrina was a bad one for the Gulf Coast area. Hurricane Sandy

eastern seaboard. Beginning in 1953, the National Weather Service made a list of names to assign to hur-ricanes as they formed. It wasn’t until the late ‘70s when someone realized that men also had temper

tantrums. It was 1979 when we began naming hurricanes after men as well. It still didn’t make any difference.

Old Man Winter and Father Time are a couple of personali-ties I have dealt with in my life. I

with either one of them. Father Time is quiet and just marches onward, ignoring us for the most part but dragging us along anyway. Old Man Winter is the more frustrating of the two, and that is because he has to deal with Mother Nature. Mother Nature is tem-peramental and moody. That is her right because she is a woman.

Most men I know would declare, without hesitation, that they really don’t understand women. I am no au-thority about understanding women. I can only report my observations and experiences. I am very happily married and have four daughters and four grand-daughters. Saying you are an authority on under-standing women is like saying you are a meteorologist and you can predict the weather. People may listen politely but quickly dismiss you as a crackpot.

If your wife has a job and has a bad day, what does she want to do? She wants to tell you about it when she gets home. Most men analyze the situation and

the situation. A word of caution: keep your mouth

she only wants you to know how she feels. Offering

advice is equal to meddling and you will compound the problem. This is why husbands should never give their wives golf lessons.

How about when your little princess comes home from school with her eyes red and puffy from crying all day. Lug Nut, her true love, has left her for another girl and she is devastated. No amount of consoling on your part is going to help. In fact, this may be a prob-

-ters it would make your living arrangement just a bit more pleasant. Can you imagine your depth of despair

parents or by sending a note to the school principal about his wretched behavior toward your little prin-cess? Don’t meddle, just let the process resolve on its own time line.

Mother Nature is acting that way and the best way to deal with her temper tantrums this spring is to just let it run the course. She is entitled to act up any time she wants, and our meddling isn’t going to change the outcome; in fact, we may make it worse. Don’t talk to her about climate change or global warming, or offer

and she is moody. Keep your mukluks handy, pull your Stormy Kromer down a bit tighter around your ears and wait it out. And if you see Frosty smiling at you from the roadside, stop and torch his snowballs and punch him in the carrot nose. It won’t settle down Mother Nature but maybe you’ll feel better.

Local artist has artworks exhibitions in four statesCUSHING - Local textile artist and author Jean M.

Judd has six of her textile artworks currently on over-lapping exhibitions in four states across the U.S. After

circuit, Judd’s work has been catching the jurors eyes in several prestigious exhibitions recently.

On March 28, the Midland Arts Association’s 2013 Spring Juried Art Exhibition opened at the Museum of the Southwest in Midland, Texas. Her artwork “Contam-inated Water #4: Through the Fence” and “Diamond #3: Block on a Rock” are two of the artworks featured in this exhibit which runs through April 28. “This is the third year that my artwork has been selected for inclusion in the MAA Spring Art Exhibition.

piece “Contaminated Water #5: Mutated Sand Dollars, Rusted Fish” was juried into the exhibition by juror David Dodge Lewis, Barger-Barclay Professor of Fine Arts at Hampden-Sydney College.

Moods are like viruses:They spread

A teacher affects eternity; no one

stops. – Henry Adams

going around right? And you under-stand that cute Youtube videos can go “viral.” And of course you know not to open certain suspicious e-mails that may contain nasty code that can infect your computer. But an emotion? Can moods be spread around like this too?

I’ve noticed that if I make a conscious effort to inject positive energy to my teaching, my students always seem to respond by being more upbeat too. It doesn’t matter what I say. If I say it with a smile, if my tone is positive and cheerful, if I’m standing up straight, if I’m moving around and making eye contact—the kids are more cheerful too. The opposite is also true. If I’m blah, often, so is the rest of the class.

But this is just common sense right? Like stand-up comics, teachers know their “delivery” matters. This isn’t rocket science.

No. Apparently, it’s brain science. And it’s important for everyone. Not just teachers.

According to recent research, a magi-

cal little brain cell called the “mirror neuron” actu-ally gives us the superpower to change the mood of those around us. This cell’s job is to literally mimic or mirror the emotions of others.

If you’ve ever laughed simply because someone else was laugh-ing, if you’ve ever watched a movie and cried or cringed because a character on the screen was sad or afraid, you’ve experienced the handi-work of the mirror neuron.

are literally responsible for making em-pathic connections. Daniel Goleman, author of the book, “Emotional Intel-ligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ,” calls these connections “primal empathy.”

Scientists using laser-thin electrodes -

astounding neural Wi-Fi.

What they found is that mirror

anticipates pain (of a pinprick), as well as when a person watches some-one else receive a pinprick. According to researchers, the lighting up of an elec-trode monitoring a single mirror neuron is like taking a snapshot of empathy in action.

Wait. It gets even better. According to Dr. Nicholas Christakis

and James Fowler, not only do we affect those in close proximity to us but, “Hap-piness spreads through social networks like an emotional contagion.” In other words, your mood ripples outward af-fecting not only those around you, but also people you don’t know and may never meet.

According to Christakis and Fowler, who have been mining data collected from nearly 5,000 people over a period of 20 years, if you’re upbeat, chances of that rubbing off on those near you goes up 25 percent. Fascinatingly, when those people leave, there is still a 10-per-cent chance that people close to them (friends, family, neighbors, etc.) will enjoy a hit of positive energy as well. Likewise, a person close to that person has a 5.6-percent chance of getting a positive charge.

What does this mean? For the sake of simplicity, let’s say that a teacher comes

in contact with (a very conservative)

other people. That’s 250 additional peo--

ence. 50 (students) plus 250 (people they come in contact with) brings that total to 300. But it doesn’t stop there. Remember, there is still a 5.6-percent

third degree of separation. So (again, keeping it simple), giving those 250

potential reach by 1,250, bringing the grand total to (again a very conserva-tive) 1,550 people! Every day!

Mirror neurons facilitate all of our

separation. Research has now proven what Adams knew intuitively – with the potential of reaching thousands of people every day, there’s no way to tell

That’s daunting power, but an even more daunting responsibility.

What do you stay awake for?

This morning, I groggily swung my legs over the side of my bed

my alarm disturbed me from my sleep. I turned my fan off, looked at my di-sheveled curly hair and half-shut eyes, still crusty from sleep, in my mirror and shrugged. “Let’s go,” I whispered

My professor for my 9 a.m. class is always very cheerful. Whether it’s the coffee or the eagerness to learn and teach, I don’t know, but I’ve never had a bad class with him, and I’ve taken a handful of his classes throughout my four years here.

It’s a small class, only 12 of us, so we have the chance to truly discuss concepts, themes and emotions in the stories, novels and poems we’re read-ing. This morning, as we settled in our uncomfortable desks, he passed his gaze throughout the room, looked each of us directly in the eyes and asked

this question: “What gets you up in the morning?”

I was taken aback. I hadn’t expected a question like this; we were supposed to be discussing the Civil War and Emily Dickinson! One girl shared that she got up in the mornings because of the possibility to learn something, even something small, every day. Another man, looking equally, if not more di-sheveled than me, said, “Coffee.” We all laughed and then his tone changed as he said, “I get up because I want to make something of my life. I don’t want to be a failure.”

One by one, the students of my class shared what gets them up in the morn-ing. I, however, sat silent. My wheels were turning; I had never been asked

a question like this before. I found my-self truly asking this question, I mean really, why do I get up every morning? What keeps me going? Do I have a purpose for getting out of bed?

I thought back to this morning: I got out of bed because my alarm told me I had to. I got out of bed because I had a class I couldn’t be late for. I got dressed and put on my makeup because I wanted to look like I put at least some effort into the day. I put on my backpack, grabbed some coffee and a bagel, and ate and drank because I was hungry.

But I did these things without think-ing. I was just doing, doing, doing, simply because I had to. I was sud-denly shocked to realize I had been living my days for the past however many months with no purpose. I real-ize I’m not going to wake up every morning feeling like Audrey Hepburn or Mother Theresa, but if I’m going to disturb my dreams and get out of my comfortable bed, it’s surely got to be

for a reason! So maybe I don’t have a concrete,

black and white answer to what gets me up in the morning. So what? For me, it’s a string of little things, little purposes. I get up to see my boyfriend, because I love him and I love spend-ing time with him. I get up to laugh and grab breakfast or lunch with my friends. I get up to celebrate the sunshine or the birds or maybe just the fact that a zit miraculously disap-peared overnight. I get up to do some-thing, learn something - even if my day consists of reading a few pages of

at least something I get up to push one more day ahead, push one more day toward some goal, large or small, one day at a time.

Because life isn’t lived by the year, or the months - it’s lived in the days and the hours. So what gets you up in the morning?

OBITUARIES/CHURCH NEWSRobert W. Lau

While enjoying a conversation and a chocolate chip cookie, Robert W. Lau went peacefully with Jesus on Friday, April 12, 2013, from Chris-tian Community Home of Osceola. He had recently celebrated his 90th birthday.

Born Feb. 25, 1923, in Taylors Falls,

of Gustav and Sophia Lau. He was baptized and confirmed at Sand Lake Church in St. Croix Falls, while growing up on a farm across the lake. When he wasn’t doing chores, he en-joyed gardening with his mother and playing softball, horseshoe and hockey. He walked three miles every day to attend Sand Lake School through eighth grade. After that he worked full-time for his father on the farm.

As a young man, Bob played baseball for the St. Croix Falls Blues and the Osceola Braves and was very proud

known as Oakey Park. During this time, he also became

well into his 80s. Bob met a gal named Harriet while at a dance at

the Dresser Hall. On Sept. 2, 1950, they were married and took over her family’s homesteaded farm in rural Osceola, renaming it The Bobette Farm. The farm pro-vided their livelihood and a home in which to raise their

Bob loved the Lord Jesus, his family and farming. He was a friendly person who loved to visit with others, both longtime friends and new acquaintances. One of his fa-vorite phrases was “It doesn’t take long to stay awhile.” He was passionate about everything he did, whether it

-ing a couple of innings of softball with his girls before the evening milking. Bob built up one of Polk County’s top milk-producing herds. He was also a county and local 4-H leader for 23 years and was instrumental in starting the 4-H tractor project in the county. He was a school

for 28 years and a volunteer at the Polk County Fair for 17 years.

with family and friends on area lakes, tending his gar-den, meticulously grooming his lawn and playing with his treasured canine companions. He also liked building things in his shop while listening to his beloved Minne-sota Twins on the radio.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Ruth Hjelle; brothers-in-law, Ralph Berg and Bill Beat-tie; cousin, best friend and brother-in-law Ted Boettcher; and niece, Rachel Boettcher. Bob is survived by his wife of 63 years, Harriet, of Osceola; daughters, Barb of New Richmond, Nancy (Don) Hasselquist of Osceola, Mari-anne (Joe) Nesta of Pittsburgh, Roberta (Bryce) Peters of So. St. Paul, Minn., and Julie (Lance) Germain of Osceola; grandchildren, Laura and Krista Hasselquist, Joe Nesta Jr., Aaron and Samuel Peters, and Hannah and Matthew Germain; brother, Elmer (Lorraine) Lau; sisters, Bernice Beattie and Carol Berg; and brother-in-law, Morris Hjelle.

Single mom wants positive male role model for kids

Q: As a single mother whose kids are approaching puberty, I’m becoming acutely aware of their need for positive

this kind of input?Jim: You’re right, this is extremely im-

portant! I’ve been where your kids are now. My father was an alcoholic who abandoned the family when I was very young.

One of the best places you can look for male input is your own extended family. Do your kids have a good relationship with your father? If you believe he’s a positive role model, ask your dad if he’d be willing to spend time with them. If he lives nearby, you could arrange for them to spend one weekend a month at their grandparents house. If grandpa lives far away, send them for an extended stay during school vacations.

Another good resource is your church. Ask the pastor if there’s a trustworthy older couple in the congregation who might be willing to act as “surrogate grandparents” for your family.

Other options could include a trusted schoolteacher or coach. You’ll need to screen them to ensure they’re reputable

and that their values align with yours, of course. I had a football coach in high school (my mom had succumbed to can-cer years earlier) who took me under his wing and welcomed me into his family. It changed my life.

•••Q: My son is 17 and has been dating

a girl from school for the last year. She -

ence on him. If I say anything, he gets defensive and tells us that he loves her and that is all that matters. I don’t want to push him away, but I would like for

I could use some advice.Leon Wirth, executive director of Par-

enting and Youth: This is a tough di-lemma for many parents. My heart goes out to you.

It’s obvious that your concern is for your son’s well-being. You love him and you want what is best for him. But is this the message he hears when the subject of his girlfriend comes up? Or does he feel

like you’re simply attacking her, and by extension, him and his choices? It’s true that many teens become combative de-spite their parents best efforts to broach a controversial subject peacefully. But to the extent you’re able, make sure he knows that your concerns are motivated by your love for him, and not out of a desire to control his life.

My colleague, Dr. Greg Smalley, and his father, Dr. Gary Smalley, surveyed 5,000 parents about what they considered

teens. Here are the top 10 answers that emerged from their survey:

• Listen for understanding.• Avoid yelling, verbal threats or

abuse.• Maintain an honoring, respectful

and loving atmosphere.• No name calling.• Use open communication.• Don’t bring in past “garbage.”• Keep the focus off the person’s char-

acter.• No violence.• Avoid accusatory language (e.g.,

“You never ... You always ...”).• Make sure only one person talks at

a time.That’s a pretty good list. You might

want to write it down, so the next time this issue arises, make sure that you,

your husband and your son all abide by these rules. Remember, too, that your son, like most men, desires respect (which is not the same as agreement) as he assumes more maturity and indepen-dence. He’ll be more likely to listen if he has the assurance that you respect him, and that you are clearly hearing, and un-derstanding, what he’s saying.

Congress designated April as Na-tional Distracted Driving Aware-

ness Month for good reason. Thousands of accidents and many deaths occur because people drive while using cell phones for texting and calling. Driving distractions also include rummaging for things behind us, primping before the mirror, and eating. I’m guilty of snack-ing while I drive.

The key to avoiding distractions of

any kind is to focus on one thing at a time. Tell that to a working mom and she’ll laugh. Tell that to teachers who must teach, maintain classroom order, act as diplomats, tend to physical and emotional owchies, keep their sanity, and grade endless papers after hours. Tell that to small-business owners who must juggle millions of tasks, keep their employees happy and working, and pay the bills.

Unfortunately, multitasking is often necessary in our fast-paced society. Bombarded with new things every day, our mind becomes overloaded—when we allow it—with too many details for mental and emotional comfort. Our quest to be the best often brings frustra-tion and worry because of our distrac-tions while exceeding the speed limit through life.

We can’t avoid all distractions, but we can try. One way is to stay focused with the use of day planners—our to-do lists. Another way is by turning off our phones and computers during crucial times and scheduling the times we open our e-mail or read our Facebook posts. Yes, we can actually live without them at times!

A sure way to avoid distractions is by asking God to teach us his priorities. That is, setting aside time for him every day and focusing on how we can best serve him. One of the best lessons Jesus

God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. There-fore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own

trouble.” (Matthew 6:33-34)

Back in Jesus’ day, ordinary citizens had much to worry about. With high taxes imposed by the cruel Roman gov-ernment, they struggled to feed them-selves and their families. They dared not disobey Roman rules or they might die from a Roman sword. Talk about dis-tractions! Jesus knew they suffered and offered them the best solution—his love and peace and strength in the midst of trouble and distractions. He offers us the same.

Lord, we thank you for your provisions, both physical and spiritual. Help us to pay attention to you so we can avoid worrisome distractions. We want to focus on your purposes more than on ours. In Jesus’ name, amen.

LIBRARY NEWS

Milltown Public Library

Centuria Public Library

The library is posting a combination of three historic and present-day pictures at the library each day from April 14 through 20. Participants will be asked to iden-tify the photographs. Entries will be due to the library by 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 20. Winners will be announced Monday, April 22. The entry with the most correct guesses will win $50 in Milltown Money with second and third places winning $25 and $10, respectively. All participants will receive a bookmark. The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Milltown Public Library.

This event is organized by the fundraising committee for the library building project. Kreative Prints for U and Kirsten Anne Photography will be at the library on Fri-day, April 19, Friday April 26, and Saturday, April 27, taking photographs.

Yes, believe it or not, spring is coming and many have thoughts of what to plant in a garden or are won-dering how to begin gardening. Libraries are a great resource for anyone interested in the topic of gardens. Many books, pamphlets and periodicals have a host of information that will provide important how-to in-

formation on gardening. In the recent Hobby Farm Home magazine, there is a great article on gardening with kids. Along with that, the magazine offers fun ideas on what to do with the garden produce when it matures. Helpful Web sites on gardening with chil-dren include gardeningwithkids.org, jmgkids.us and kidsgardening.org. There are many books in libraries that are centered around the topic of gardening. Some of the books available at the Centuria Public Library include:

“How Does My Garden Grow?” by DK Publishing, a book of fun gardening activities with children;

“Guide to Wisconsin Vegetable Gardening,” by James A. Fizzell;

“Gardening in Wisconsin,” by Melinda Myers;“The Complete Kitchen Garden,” by Ellen Ecker

Ogdon;“Grocery Gardening,” by Jean Ann Van Krevelen;

and“Storey’s Guide to Growing Organic Vegetables &

Herbs for Market,” by Keith Stewart.New materials of all kinds are arriving weekly at the

library. Library staff will be more than happy to assist you.

Monday, noon – 5 p.m.; Tuesday, noon – 7 p.m.; Wednesday, noon – 5 p.m.; Thursday, noon – 7 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – noon. Contact information: 715-646-2630, or centurialibrary.org.

many services the library offers to enrich your life. Re-freshments will be served all week and be sure to register for door prizes. Celebrate and support America’s public libraries. To quote writer Anne Herbert, “Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.”

-nancial donations you make to Family Pathways are stretched further. The local food shelf is participating in the spring Feinstein Foundation Challenge and your contributions all count toward dollar-for-dollar match-ing funds coming back to our community. Be sure to bring in food items or a check to Family Pathways the next time you visit the library.

The evening book group will meet at 6:30 p.m., Thurs-day, April 25, to discuss “The Tragedy of Arthur,” by Arthur Phillips. When their long-imprisoned con-artist father reaches the end of his life, Arthur and his twin

or their father’s last great hoax. Copies are available at the library, and new readers are always welcome. This novel was chosen for The Valley Reads celebration, and

SIREN—Siren High School’s band di-rector, Bryn Anderson, sighed with relief as she described this year’s fundraising efforts as “in wind-down mode.” After several fundraisers throughout the school year that included the sale of candles, candy bars and personalized cookware, Siren’s music department held a fund-raiser concert, inviting students, family and community members to an afternoon of entertainment on Sunday, April 14.

Guests were invited to make a freewill offering for lunch, donated and catered by the St. Croix Casino, and bid on tables full of silent auction items. The produc-tion itself was shrouded in secrecy, so the audience was surprised by the band’s en-ergetic and choreographed entrance from the back of the full auditorium. Engaging in some showmanship herself, Anderson made her entrance dressed as a gorilla chasing a banana, paying homage to the success of the group’s fruit sales fund-raiser.

Parade theatrics and colorful characters were totally appropriate, considering the event was designed to help send about 50 students to perform at Disney World this June. “The cost per student is about

$782,” explained Anderson. Students and chaperones have to pay their own way. However, depending on participation, students can offset part or all of the costs of the weeklong trip to Florida. “About one-fourth of them pay for their entire trip through fundraising,” she added.

The band and choir travel every two years, which means the music depart-ment is continually fundraising, but this

have included a produc-tion like this. Since choir director Terry Muus opened

annual Big Gig,” expect this fundraising event to return for years to come.

-ers greeted visitors coming to the Burnett Medical Center Spring Into Health Expo on Saturday, April 13, making the still snow-covered landscape a bit brighter.

Bright, too, were the smiles on color-fully painted faces of children gracing BMC hallways on their way to fun kids activities, in their new future doctors and nurses hats.

The expo offered valuable information on health and wellness for the entire fam-ily.

Of special interest were tours of an am-bulance and helicopter where youngsters of all ages could get a close-up look at the rescue vehicles.

Health expo guests could also take ad-vantage of exam services offered at re-duced costs during the day, pick up free BMC gift bags, visit vendor booths, sign up for door prizes, and enjoy snacks and sandwiches prepared by Wake-up Call Coffee Café staff.

GRANTSBURG – Grantsburg Elemen-tary School students had a tickling good time counting numbers when Ben Bendor presented his Arithmetickles, one-of-a-kind, interactive, math game show pro-gram at an all-school assembly, Tuesday, April 9.

Bendor’s Arithmetickles program is designed to help youngsters make the connection between classroom math and

games showing how to use math in ev-eryday situations.

Bendor held the classes attention with comedy, mime and theatrical effects with several students assisting him solving

-ing out math story problems during the fast-paced, age-appropriate program.

“We give students a chance to explore and resolve math problems creatively,” said Bendor. “By using elements of highly creative children’s theater and encourag-ing students to succeed onstage in front of their peers, Arithmetickles also helps

-teem and demonstrates how cool math can be.”

Parents need supportPOLK COUNTY - Throughout the month of April,

the Polk County Child Advocacy Referral Interagency Network Group will be promoting a countywide Blue Ribbon Campaign through various activities. You may notice blue ribbon yard signs and parenting in-formation throughout the communities, hear infor-mation over the radio, see articles in the paper and talk to your kids about what they heard at school.

For full version of this story, see the-leader.net, Parents need support.

Parenting is one of the most difficult jobs you will ever do. All parents know that children don’t come with an instruction booklet. Too many par-ents face the challenges of raising their children without the knowledge and support they need and deserve. There are so many trials that face par-ents today, as they work to raise their children in a world that challenges our children to an even greater degree. Bullying, teasing, substance abuse, sports, academics, the list of struggles goes on and on.

We all have opportunities to reach out to parents in our own families, neighborhoods, places of worship and places of employment. Do your part to support children and families in our communities.

What to do when you see a stressed-out parent in public:

• Empathize with the parent. “I know how my child sometimes acts up in a restaurant.”

• Offer assistance. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

• Divert the parent’s attention. “Children can sure try our patience, can’t they?”

• Relieve the tension by saying something positive. “She sure has beautiful eyes.”

• Divert the child’s attention. “Let me show you a picture of my son. He’s a big boy like you.”

• Ensure safety. If the child is left alone in a shop-ping cart, stand nearby until the parent returns.

Our job as parents is to provide support to these growing individuals, but who is there to support us as parents? With no instruction manual to check, many parents often make choices they wish they could change … but don’t know how. Many parents aren’t sure where to seek support, as families lose their extended network by moving for jobs or educa-tion.

Polk County has many resources for families:CRA – Community Referral Agency, 715-825-4404.Family Preservation and Support Project, 715-485-

Per Wisconsin State Statute, all possible child support liens are listed. Because of the limitations of information in the Treasurer’s Office, they are based solely on name matches. While we are required to list them based on name matches, we understand that they may not be against the person indicated. This practice is consistent with ot her property tax foreclosure listings by County Treasurer’s Offices across the State of Wisconsin.

Herb Kohl honors area students and teachersMILWAUKEE - The Herb Kohl Edu-

Kim Marggraf, spokesperson for the Herb Kohl Foundation, said that Herb Kohl, representatives of co-sponsoring organizations, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin Council of Religious and Independent Schools, Wis-consin Cooperative Educational Service Agencies, and the Wisconsin Newspaper Association Foundation, and the families and friends of northwest and west central Wisconsin award recipients were part of the program.

“The Herb Kohl Educational Founda-tion believes that it is important to pub-licly acknowledge and applaud the efforts

of Wisconsin’s leading teachers and stu-dents. We are very pleased to have Herb Kohl join us for this special recognition of excellence in education,” Marggraf said. “Herb Kohl made formal award presen-tations to the recipients at the luncheon.”
