PARENTS NOT GIVING A BOOST: 10 CHILDREN KILLED SINCE 2008 ONLY 2 WERE IN BOOSTER SEATS
Booster seats are the law in Minnesota, yet crash data reveals many parents are not using the safety seats that help seat belts fit children correctly and safely, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety. In Minnesota it is the law for children to ride in a booster seat upon outgrowing a forward-facing harnessed restraint. It is safest children ride in a booster until they are 49 tall, or at least age 8. A 2011 DPS observational survey of booster seat use revealed only 64 percent of parents/caregivers place children in booster seats. The survey also showed that if the driver was not belted, then only 27 percent of the children were in a booster. Booster Seat Use Facts for Children Ages 47, 20082012 10 children killed and only two were properly restrained. Of the 2,121 children injured, less than half (1,005) were properly restrained in booster seats. Of the 6,170 children in a booster and in a crash, 84 percent were not injured. Traffic crashes are the leading killer of Minnesota children and one reason for this is parents are rushing children into a riding in just a seat belt before the child is tall enough, says Heather Darby, DPS Office of Traffic Safety child passenger safety program coordinator. Booster seats are critical to prevent improperly fitting seat belts, which can result in serious and fatal injuries. Seat belts must fit properly: The shoulder strap must be over the shoulder and chest, the lap belt over the hips, not the abdomen. Seat belts should never cut across the neck, and never place the shoulder strap under an arm or behind the back. Its safest for children to ride in the back seat until age 13. CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY WEEK THROUGH SEPT. 21 Child Passenger Safety Week runs through Sept. 21, and DPS is emphasizing the importance of correct child safety restraint and booster seat use to keep children safe while riding in a vehicle. In Minnesota, three out of four child restraints are used incorrectly meaning children are riding in the wrong restraint or it is not properly secured. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to visit buckleupkids.mn.gov for instructional videos for installing and using various car seats, and to find a local car seat check location. DPS is conducting a Facebook child passenger safety questionand-answer session during 12:301:30 p.m. on Wed., Sept. 18, to provide helpful advice to parents and caregivers.

MN Choices
Todd County Health and Human Services Adult and Disability Service Unit is preparing for a busy year in 2014. Several of the program areas that we work with for county residents receiving Home and Community Based Service Waivers will be going through some significant changes. Perhaps the most extensive of these changes is the way in which we assess people for eligibility for these services. Currently, and in the past, the kind of service that a person requested determined the type of assessment that we used to determine eligibility. In the future, this task will be accomplished through the use of the MN Choices assessment. This is an electronic tool that will be used for all those requesting Home and Community Based Services, regardless of the waiver type. The result of the MN Choices assessment will help us to determine the most appropriate

and three state park or trail destinations considered hot picks of the week. Were predicting it will be a brilliant fall color season, said Patricia Arndt, communications and outreach manager for the Department of Natural Resources Division of Parks and Trails. Although its been dry lately, the trees got adequate rain earlier this season. Now we just need a combination of sunny days and cool nights in the weeks ahead to bring out the fall colors. Weve timed many of our fall hiking, biking, geocaching and paddling programs at Minnesota state parks and trails to coincide with peak color, and we hope to see lots of people getting outdoors to enjoy this beautiful time of year. Colors typically peak between mid-September and early October in northern third of the state, between late September and early October in central third and between late September and midOctober in southern third. Fall color programs are listed in the free Feel the Wow of Fall brochure at Minnesota state parks and recreation areas. The DNR Information Center will also mail the brochure to anyone who requests it. In addition to its weekly online reports, the DNR offers fall colors to go on a mobile website compatible with smart phones and tablets.

The poppy plant is native to Asia. Poppy seed was used as a condiment as early as the first century. It has been revered for its medicinal properties. The plant has been associated with sleep and used to treat insomnia. Poppy seeds are small dried seeds that have a nutty flavor. Poppy seeds are found in the head of the poppy plant. The poppy plant is the plant from which opium is derived. Although opium is produced in the pods all parts of the plant can contain opium alkaloids such as morphine and codeine. People often express concern over the narcotic properties of the poppy plant from which poppy seed is derived. While it is true that the unripe seed of the plant does contain alkaloids such as morphine and codeine which can be addictive the ripe seeds used for culinary purposes contain minute amounts if any at all. The trace amounts found in poppy seed are not significant enough to cause any type of addiction. It is important however to keep in mind that even trace amounts of the alkaloids can cause a false-positive result in certain drug tests. The alkaloids can remain in the body system for up to two days after consuming poppy seeds Poppy seeds are used primarily for baking. The seeds are used in rolls, breads and cakes. They are also sprinkled on pastries as toppings. Poppy seeds are also used in birdseed and pressed into cakes for livestock feed. The oil derived from poppy seed is used in cooking and soap making. The seeds have nutritional value as well since they are rich in linoeic acid, oleic acid and unsaturated fatty acids. Poppies are one of the most cultivated medicinal herbs in the world.

I recently took this salad to a potluck meal and have had several requests for it. This was super easy to make as I used packaged slaw and carrot shreds. I cooked the chicken breasts the day before so they were already cold, and I just needed to chop them up. I think this would be a great filling for a wrap too, but I would cut down the slaw to one bag and only 1 c. carrots shreds so there would be more meat to veggie ratio. I love a good wrap and am alway looking for new things to fill one with.

OPINIONS
Hello,
Running with the big dog

When a person takes on the responsibility of adopting a big dog, they must realize large dogs come with large amounts of work, and they dont live nearly as long as small dogs. When my wife and I met Duke, we were well aware of both drawbacks to having a big dog, but were willing to take him in and make him part of our family. Duke is an Old English Mastiff. The Mastiff is an enormous breed of dog and Duke is no exception. He weighs something more than 200 pounds. He is the guard dog of the farm, the job he was bred to do. He rambles about the yard, checking for intruders and goes no farther than down to the lake for a swim on a hot summer day. He minds well, most of the time, but is very protective of his family. He decided the boundary of the territory he needed to protect and who was part of his family. He has decided his pack includes my wife and me, our son, Damon, By Walter Scott and our grandson, Zane. I have no doubt, he would die, if necessary, trying to protect us from anything he saw as a threat. That part of him is part of the breed. They are giant lovable beasts that are fiercely loyal to their family. The other parts of his personality are not consistent with the breed, just Dukes own little idiosyncrasies. We feed the orioles grape jelly in little plastic cups mounted on a board about six feet up an oak tree in front of the house. Dont get me started on why a bird would know to eat grape jelly from a plastic cup, but they do and they love it. Apparently a large Duke dog is also fairly fond of grape jelly. One night, he discovered little plastic cups full of the tasty snack right there in his yard. He was wise enough to wait until we werent watching, popped the cups out, and ate all the jelly. The only evidence left behind were plastic cups on the ground that were as clean as when they were new. Several refills later, we figured out we were not being raided by raccoons or opossums, but our trusty guard dog. The jelly dishes are now eight feet off the ground and we have to use a ladder to refill them. Dukes favorite activity is going for a run when we take a ride on the Mule. For those who dont know, a Kawasaki Mule is a four wheel drive vehicle with a bench seat that is about half the size of a Jeep. It probably weighs about half as much as a Jeep also. One evening last week we decided to make a quick run down to the lake, more for something to do outside than any real purpose. Duke loped along, happy in the fact we were going to the lake. There are few things better than having his people come watch him cool off in the lake. We cruised along the path across the pasture toward the water as Duke ran ahead. He swung out to one side and back directly in front of the Mule where he stopped. He probably smelled something that needed to be checked out when I hit him. The Mule drove up over him and stopped with Duke trapped beneath. My heart sank as I slammed the gear shift into reverse and backed off, expecting the worst. Duke jumped up, ran to my side of the Mule and gave me a look that could kill, as though it were my fault. I thought this might be our last day with Duke, but hopefully, we will have a few more years of running with the big dog. Other than being annoyed at me, he is none the worse for the experience.
Letter from the Country

What a beautiful morning. Thirty five degrees, calm, foggy, and the sun coming up over the pond....what a great way to start the day with a good cup of coffee. Thats what it was like as Benjamin and I made our morning walk to our pond today. Standing at the end of the dock with not a breath of a breeze, you can hear everything. I love fall... Now if the ragweed would just die, all would be well. I have not written in some time, and I apologize for that. Its not that I have had nothing to say, I have just been quite busy lately. I have made a real good start at cutting wood for this years heating, which Im not really looking forward too. But it is rewarding when after a few hours of hard work you have a good cord or better of ash all split, stacked and ready to go. I finally got the chance this past weekend to get out and do a little goose hunting with some friends. Even though we only got a couple of them, it was a lot of fun to be out and see and hear the geese flying about the area. On Saturday afternoon, after hunting, everyone came over and I loaded my grill with skewers of goose breast wrapped in bacon for lunch for the entire clan. I think we could have used a couple more as there was not one piece left. I had planned to do a little more hunting on Saturday afternoon, but the rain kind of put a damper on that notion. Nicholas has been working for the past couple of weeks cooking in Rose City and seems to really enjoy it. I know he is really enjoying the money he is earning, but I believe having a job that he enjoys is also good for self esteem. Lately he has been researching guitars, and is planning to use some of the money he has earned on purchasing a new one to add to his collection. He has also been working hard on learning the banjo, and can certainly make it sound better that I ever could. Jordan has not been home in ages, and we are trying to encourage her to come home for a few days between work and school. I havent seen her since our sky diving adventure the first week of August. I know Kim and Nicholas would sure like to see her come home for a couple of days as well. I cant believe it is already the middle of September. High school sports are well under way, and soon farmers will begin harvesting their crops. Next thing you know we will be plowing snow and talking about which lakes are good for ice fishing..... time flies. Speaking of flies, they and the yellow jackets sure have announced their presence in the past week or two. Another sign that winter is approaching. I feel like I could write and write, but I believe I am just rambling on, so I am going to cut this off for now. Its already Monday afternoon and we need to get the paper done. Enjoy the turning of the seasons. Get out and enjoy life! Aaron
Families, youth and women can go afield with upland bird mentors in October
Inexperienced families, women and youth hunters are reminded to apply by Sept.16 for a chance to step into the field with an experienced upland bird hunter at locations across much of Minnesota on Saturday, Oct. 19, or Saturday, Oct. 26. Participants are offered a hands-on approach that shows them hunting techniques, outdoor skills, safety and how wildlife habitat plays a big part in upland bird management and hunter success, said Mike Kurre, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) mentoring program coordinator. Co-sponsored by the DNR, hunt participants are paired with mentors from Pheasants Forever, Woodcock Minnesota and the Ruffed Grouse Society. After discussing safety, habitat, ethics, scouting for places to hunt and securing landowner permission when necessary, mentors take participants into the field. A limited number of family hunts allow all family members to participate. For youth hunts, parents or guardians must accompany youth hunters at all times and at all events but cannot carry a firearm. To participate, youth must be 12-17 years old as of Oct. 19; have earned a valid firearms safety certificate; possess a small game license if required; and have a parent, guardian or adult authorized by a parent or guardian accompany them as a nonfirearms carrying mentor. The adult must accompany the youth during the orientation and the hunt. A small game license is not needed for youth younger than 16. A $5 reduced-price license is required for youth 16 and 17. People 18 and older do not need a parent or guardian to accompany them, but will need a valid firearms safety certificate if required or an apprentice hunter validation certification, pheasant stamp (if pheasant hunting) and a small game license. Up to four family members can participate in a family hunt. Adult and youth family members must meet all eligibility requirements. Applicants who apply for a family hunt but are not selected in the lottery can opt to allow their children to participate in the youth hunt if spots remain open.
All applicants must specify the county or area they want to hunt, if they are willing to travel farther if their choice is not available and the distance they are willing to travel. Applications are available online at www.mndnr.gov/discover or by contacting the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157, toll-free 888-646-6367 or info.dnr@state.mn.us. Successful applicants will be notified via mail or email by end of September. The winners notice will contain information about hunting license requirements, equipment and hunt coordinator contact information. All winners must contact their hunt coordinator after receiving notice. Landowners with pheasant or grouse-producing property interested in allowing youth or novice families or women to hunt on their land can help out by contacting Pheasants Forevers Eran Sandquist at 763-242-1273.
DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Q: Recently, the state Legislature made a change to allow open water waterfowl hunting for the first time in Minnesota since 1915. Why was the change made, and which bodies of water does it affect? A: The change was made to provide a unique waterfowl hunting opportunity on a small number of lakes. Typically hunters in open water use layout boats, large decoy spreads and target diving ducks that often raft offshore. The bodies of water selected are large border waters (with the exception of Mille Lacs Lake) where open water hunting is already legal in the adjacent state/province and disturbance to ducks will be minimal. The other lakes are Lake of the Woods, Lake Superior, and Lake Pepin. On the Mississippi River south of Hastings, hunters must be in partially concealing vegetation or within 100 feet of the shoreline including islands, which is consistent with Wisconsin regulations on this stretch of river. On all these bodies of water, hunters must be at anchor. -Steve Cordts, DNR waterfowl staff specialist

DNR updates state list of endangered, threatened, special concern species

A state list first established nearly 30 years ago to highlight and help protect plants and animals at risk of disappearing from Minnesota has received its first official update since 1996. Following a series of five public hearings, an 86-day comment period and review by an administrative law judge, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on Monday, Aug. 19, adopted a new list of endangered, threatened and special concern species. Twenty-nine species, including the bald eagle, wolf and snapping turtle, were removed from the list; 180 species of plants and animals were added; 91 species had their status either upgraded or downgraded while remaining on the list. The changes were based on large amounts of new information gathered by DNR and other researchers. Minnesotas endangered species law requires the DNR to create and periodically revise such a list, and it prescribes three levels of concern. An endangered species is one that is at great risk of extinction within the state. A threatened species is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future. A species of special concern, though not at immediate risk, is considered vulnerable because of its rarity or highly specific habitat requirements. The law prohibits the taking or possession of endangered and threatened species except in certain situations. If a proposed project cannot avoid a protected species, the state can issue a taking permit that is combined
with mitigation, such as funding for research or acquisition of other sites to protect the species. Over the past decade, DNR has received 23 applications for development-related taking permits and it has issued all but one. The ultimate goal of putting a plant or animal on the list isnt to put up walls around it; its to restore its health and get it back off the list, said Rich Baker, DNR endangered species coordinator. There are plenty of examples of that happening, and it doesnt have to come at the expense of sustainable economic development. More information on Minnesotas endangered, threatened and special concern species can be found on the DNRs website at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/ets/i ndex.html.
Public cave tours continue through Oct. 27 at Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park

Browerville Tigers beat WCA

By Coach Petermeier Browerville 36 WCA 14 The Browerville Tigers played a much more complete game on Friday night vs West Central Area. Our offensive and defensive lines did a good job of controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. We are still young and inexperienced as far as varsity play goes but we are getting better each week. The game seems to be slowing down a little for our players and that is a good thing. We controlled the ball in the first half using a very good mix of running along with some very timely passes and catches to keep drives alive. The second half was a complete opposite of the first. We let WCA off the hook a couple times on some third and fourth downs and they were able to drive the field on us. We got the ball back and scored in three plays. That was all the plays our varsity would run the entire second half, as WCA would get the ball back and take a lot of time off the clock on their next drive. We made them work for and run a lot of plays to score. After their second score WCA tried an onside kick, but it didnt travel the 10 yards needed for it to be a legal kick. The quick thinking of Grant Heid scored our final TD. The ball is still live even if it doesnt travel the 10 yards, so Grant picked it up and scored. WCA got the ball back after that crazy kick return for a score and they would again eat up the clock. The Tigers went to their bench to get younger players in the game and were forced to punt the ball away after three plays. WCA would drive the ball again but were held out of the end-zone to finish out the game. In all the Tigers ran six plays in the second half. The Tigers travel to OTC for a Friday night match up. The game will be played in Battle Lake @ 7:00pm

Tigers have busy week

By Mary Irsfeld The Browerville Tigers defeated the Swanville Bulldogs at home last Tuesday night 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, 25-21). It was a competitive match up with both teams playing well. We were down two of the games but decided to stay aggressive and it paid off. It was a great win for us. Our conference games will all be competitive this season if we show up to play. I anticipate a lot of tight games during conference play. Kendra Buchta led our attackers with 9 kills while Crystal Pearson put down 7 kills, Katelyn Middendorf had 6 and Paige Callahan 5. Middendorff also put up 22 set assists and had 19 digs. Buchta and Callahan combined for 5 ace blocks and Abigail Irsfeld had 4 ace serves. The Tigers traveled to Upsala on Thursday and were defeated 2-3 (25-17, 26-28, 25-17, 23-25, 13-15). We scored more points than the Cardinals but we didn't score when we needed to. It was another great match up with a lot of competitive play. We stopped attacking at key times while Upsala stayed aggressive. Highlighted stats were Pearson with 16 kills and 17 digs, Callahan with 11 kills and 11 digs, Buchta with 9 kills, Dani Leagjeld with 7 kills, and Middendorf with 36 set assists and 10 digs. Buchta and Callahan combined for 7 ace blocks. On Saturday the Tigers placed 3rd in the Browerville Invitational. In pool play the Tigers defeated Royalton 2-0 (25-18, 25-17), defeated Isle 2-0 (25-11, 25-15), and were defeated by New York Mills 0-2 (18-25, 13-25). After pool play there was a three-way tie with New York Mills, Browerville, and Royalton. After reviewing pool play records, the Tigers were placed 2nd. The Tigers defeated the 2nd place team from the other pool, Bertha-Hewitt 2-0 (25-13, 25-16). Overall, it was a good day for the Tigers. We crumpled a bit against New York Mills with their big front attackers/blockers, but, we didn't fall apart afterwards. We came out strong against Bertha-Hewitt who had beat us in a tight game at the start of the season. We started and ended our day strong. Pearson had a big day with 39 kills and 21 digs. Buchta had 19 kills while Middendorf had 73 set assists. Pearson and Irsfeld each had 6 ace serves.

Weekend Crashes Kill 8 on Minnesota Roads Among Deadliest Weekends of the Year
THREE OF THE VICTIMS WERE MOTORCYCLISTS, RAISING YEAR TOTAL TO 53 Preliminary crash reports indicate at least eight people were killed on Minnesota roads from 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6 through 1 a.m. Monday, Sept. 9, making it the among the top three deadliest weekends of the year. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety reports the deadly start to September follows the states safest August since 1944 there were 30 deaths last month. The weekend fatalities raised the states current death total to 250 up from 238 at this time last year. DPS projects around 415 deaths for the year; there were 395 deaths in 2012. DEADLY WEEKEND Sept. 69 was among the deadliest weekend periods of the year, joining: April 57 (10 deaths); May 31June 2 (eight); and July 2628 (seven). The weekend fatalities include a 20-year-old male motorist hit by a suspected drunk driver in Minneapolis early Monday, Sept. 9. The fatal crashes occurred in the counties of Anoka, Carver, Hennepin, Otter Tail, Renville, St. Louis and Watonwan . Officials are urging motorists to buckle up, pay attention, drive at safe speeds and drive sober. MOTORCYCLIST DEATHS CONTINUE TO RISE Three of the eight weekend deaths were motorcyclists. To-date in 2013, there have been 53 rider deaths, putting the state on pace for 68 deaths for 2013, up from 55 rider deaths in 2012. The highest number of motorcyclist deaths on record is 1980 when 121 were killed. DPS officials say theres no clear indicator for the increase in deaths, but common crash factors are playing a role including rider error and motorist failure to yield the rightof-way. Its time motorcyclists and drivers step up and take action to reduce these tragedies, says Bill Shaffer of the DPS Motorcycle Safety Center. Unfortunately preventable mistakes are leading to the spiking death count. KEY FINDINGS IN 2013 MOTORCYCLE FATAL CRASHES Age: 64 percent of the motorcyclists killed were over the age of 45; 19 percent were under 30. Young riders (30 and under) represent a mere one percent of the total driving population, older riders (45 and up) are only seven percent of the total driving population together these riders represent 20 percent of the total traffic deaths to-date. Contributing Factors: There have been 50 fatal crashes resulting in the 53 rider deaths. More than half of the fatal crashes involved only the motorcycle; failure to negotiate a curve was cited 19 times. The remaining crashes involved another vehicle, of which failure to yield the right-of-way was cited nine times. Deer: Six of the fatal crashes involved a collision with a deer, matching 2007, the highest number of deer deaths on record. Fatalities

resulting from a collision with a deer are an immerging trend within the last decade. During 20022012, 43 motorcyclists have been killed in a crash with a deer, four times more than between 19912000 (10 deaths). This year is on pace to be the deadliest with deer and we are just bridging the autumn deer season. Helmet Use: Helmet use is known in 42 of the 53 rider deaths, of those, 31 were not wearing a helmet; only 12 riders were wearing a helmet. Location: More than 60 percent of the crashes occurred in a rural area; 28 percent of the crashes occurred in the 7-county metro area. The top six deadliest counties include: Hennepin (6); Goodhue and St. Louis (4 each); Crow Wing, Dakota and Olmsted (3 each). DPS offers these safety tips for motorists and riders to ensure a safe riding environment: Motorists Watch for motorcycles, and always look twice before entering a roadway or changing lanes. Due to the smaller size of motorcycles, their speed and distance is more difficult to judge. Give riders room and check blind spots. Pay attention, drive at safe speeds and drive sober. Riders Wear protective gear, including a DOT-approved helmet, riding gloves, boots, pants, jacket and eye protection. Pay attention to riding, ride at safe speeds and ride sober. DPS advises riders to take safety training courses to hone skills; more information at www.motorcyclesafety.org.

SIGN EXCLUSIVE LETTER OF INTENT. Parties agree to exclusively negotiate the final terms for Green Biologics, Inc. to acquire the assets of Central MN Ethanol Co-op. Green Biologics, Inc. (GBI), a technology developer and emerging bio-based chemicals producer based in Gahanna, Ohio, and Central MN Ethanol Co-op (CMEC), an ethanol producer in Little Falls, MN, today announced that Green Biologics, Inc. has entered into an exclusive letter of intent to acquire substantially all of CMECs assets.

Welcome exchange students
Christ the King Students learn School Bus Safety lessons from Mike Aksamit of Aksamit Transportation.
This year the Browerville School welcomes four exchange students as they experience American customs and culture while learning the many differences between education in the U.S. and their respective countries. Pictured above are: Elias Callewaert, Belgium. Azade Cakmak, Germany. Eduardo Cortes, Bolivia. Kallakanya Jirawattanaporn, Thailand.
Elias Callewaert, Belgium

I decided to come to America because everyday we have to deal with American stuff like American movies, American songs, American TV shows, American clothing, McDonalds, Burger King, and so on. If we watch the news in Belgium, most of the time is spent on the American president, or the American economy, and okay, maybe thats because Belgium is too little for exciting news. The main reason for my journey is of course to improve my English skills, experience some American culture, and most of all, be a part of an American family and make many American friends who lead you to Americas hidden places... Dont tell anybody, but I have already graduated in Belgium. People asked me, Why are you so stupid to redo your last year if you could go to college? Well, some people are that crazy. Actually, an American family is not that different from an European family. The only difference that affects me the most is the tons of burgers, pizzas, fried chicken wings, chips, more burgers and more burgers. Back home I have two younger brothers. Here in America Ive got two older host brothers and one sister, and I have a brother from Bolivia, Eduardo Cortes, who lives in the same family. Its difficult to explain the differences between the school systems if you have never experienced them. In Belgium you cannot choose your classes. In seventh grade you have to choose a direction, such as Latin, economy, science, art or wood and metal shop. Every section has classes that you
Do you have any questions, comments, or concerns? Maybe you know of a good story idea? Or a photo opp? We would like to hear them! Contact us at: staff@bladepublishing.net 320-594-2911, or Blade Publishing, PO Box 245 Browerville MN 56438 We look forward from hearing from you, or subscribers. Your opinion DOES matter.
cant choose. I was in a special school where I had a theater education. When I go back to Belgium I would like to do some tests to go into an actor college. Its my dream to write my own plays and musical and perform them. (I know it sounds like a little child who wants to become a prince or pirate.) Also I worked in a bakery as a baker on weekends. I would like to hunt one day, but the exchange program doesnt allow us to carry or fire a gun. Ive seen the Mall of American already, and I spent two weeks at the state fair. While I am here I just want to be an American youth. Thats the only goal I want to reach. Every experience I have will be a memory that nobody can take away from me.
with each other. I am in the 11th grade in Browerville High School. In Thailand I am in the 12th grade at Kanaratbumrungpathumthani School. I have five members in my family in Thailand; father, mother, elder sister and brother and me. My parents own a business. In the U.S. my host family has father, mother, elder brother and sister. Father is a radio news director and mother works in a bank. The school in Browerville is so different from Thailand. Everybody can wear make-up, no uniforms, students express themselves and are not shy. I like this school, everybody is very friendly. My goals in the U.S. are to get better in the English language and grow to be a good adult in the future.
Eduardo Cortes, Bolivia

I chose to become an exchange student because people told me it would be a good experience. In Bolivia Im in the 11th grade, here I am in the 10th grade. I have a very good family, my dad, my mom, and my twin sisters; I thank God I am with them. With my host family we do many other things. In Bolivia my school is bigger than here, and there are lots more classes. My goal is to have a good experience while I am here.
Azade-Asya Cakmak, Germany

I came to American to learn better English and to have a new experience for myself. I am in the 11th grade at Browerville. In Germany my grade was 1. Semester. In Germany I have a younger sister (13), my mom is a hair stylist and my dad is an IT Director. Here I have a little host brother (1 1/2), and my host parents are Keith and Jesse Noska. At school I have only six classes each semester, in Germany we have many classes in 1.Semester, I think 15 or 16. School here is easier than in Germany, but some classes are the same, like math. While I am in the U.S. I would like to travel to San Diego, California, and I want to see Chicago.
Council, continued
get back on a positive track. Council members approved the donation. Council members approved the new Pictometry software/ images. Currently the city of Browerville has the 2008 version and pictures. When this was originally purchased the cost was $3,000.00, now the new software and images are only $1,795.00 and they have a much higher resolution. This software is used by city hall extensively for planning & zoning, assisting property owners and looking for building information. Citizen Lyle Olson sent a request to the council to consider installing a four way stop sign at the intersection of 4th and Gillis Ave. The council discussed and tabled this request due to lack of traffic. The council meeting was closed at 7:58 for a closed session. The purpose of the closed personnel council meeting was to review and accept the resignation of Chris Hayes due to health issues.
Kullakanya Jirawattanaporn, Thailand

I came to the U.S. because it is the country of my dreams. I want to practice my English language and I want to exchange cultures
School is open. Watch for children!
