Dear Me! You think you have a deer problem?  This was a snowmobile trail in Marinettee, Wisconsin.  Whatever you’ve been putting in their feed, Sue, it seems to be working.

EDITOR’S NOTE:  Ever since the Dog Park arrived up the road, we don’t have the deer problem in our yard anymore.  As I’ve always said, for every plus there’s a minus, and for every minus there’s a plus.

 

Competing at Junior Nationals. Alexanna Gluck of Victoria, center and top, competed the weekend of April 25th in USAG Region 4 Junior Nationals Level 8 Gymnastics Competition.  The girls she competed against were from the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana, and Nebraska.  Alexanna received 1st place in All-Around for her age group with a score of 36.55.  She also placed 1st on the beam with a score of 9.375 and 2nd on vault with a 9.1.  Alexanna is an 8th grader at St. Joseph Catholic School in Waconia.  Terrific job, Alexanna.  We are proud of you.

Get a Green Thumb. If you’re looking for ways to save money in this tough economy, search no farther than your backyard.  Home vegetable gardening is really taking off.  Everyone is grabbing a hoe and planting a garden to help stretch family food dollars.  The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is helping to “grow” this new trend by serving as an invaluable resource for gardening ideas and assistance.  Contact me if you’d like additional information.  As part of the University of Minnesota, the Arboretum serves as a community and national resource for horticultural and environmental information, research, and public education.

State Champions. Can you feel the Chill?  The Chaska Chill, a local 4th grade boy’s basketball team, recently won the 2009 MYAS Grade AAAA State Championship.  The Chill, seeded 5th, made their way through an extremely tough tournament draw.  They defeated seeded teams 12, 3, 1, and 2, to claim the State Championship title.  This makes their second straight state championship as they were the 4th Grade REC State Champions last year.
