I PLEDGE my HEAD to clearer thinking,
my HEART to greater loyalty,
my HANDS to larger service,
and my HEALTH to better living,
for my family, my club, my community, my country and my world.
This is the 4-H Pledge that youth and adults recite at the opening of each meeting. In the spirit of that pledge to clearer thinking, we ask “is there a future for 4-H in Sherburne County?”
Last summer, the 4-H horse project funded and painted the barns to freshen them up for fair. Imagine the disappointment as everything the kids worked to prepare for was deluged with rain through the failing roofs on the horse barns as several waves of extreme weather occurred during fair week. The normal flurry of excitement was replaced with an all-out scramble to shift horses to higher ground and wait out the storm while also scrambling to save thousands of dollars’ worth of hay, feed, show clothes, tack and equipment. This is one of many issues that need to be addressed to deal with aging infrastructure and the future of the county fairgrounds.
The county has indicated at various times the desire to sell and redevelop the property the fairground occupies. That constant fear of being evicted from the fairgrounds has not served the best interests of the youth or the community at large. Sherburne County businesses and residents are overwhelmingly supportive of 4-H programming when made aware of needs and how they can help. But who will invest in updating and improving the aging infrastructure of a fairgrounds under constant threat of eviction and redevelopment of the property? If the long-range plan is to relocate the fairgrounds, then please, let us begin the dialogue to plan out a timeline and details for beginning that endeavor. We need to at least work together to solve the immediate issues to serve our youth of today as well as plan for the future of our youth. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Please, let us not fail our youth any longer.

Note: this letter was sent to all Sherburne County commissioners. The purpose of this post is to raise awareness of safety issues at the Sherburne County fairgrounds.

It's a good thing I had enough resources to buy this type of Camper Trailer. #🌡️😂🌞🏠 It's a fully functional home away from home. #Kitchen#Gazebo#Tent#800lbs#awnings#Powered#Chuckwagonstyle#reconfigers#Affordable#Weatherresistant
I spent two years preparing for sudden homelessness in Phoenix Arizona. My camper trailer is great during a Monsoon or severe Thunderstorm season.
It was one of the best Ideas I ever had at the time of my truck accident. My camper has become a best friend of this lifelong soldiers.
I believe the Veterans Service Organizations need to take a suggestion from me with regards to housing homeless Veterans. Stop trying to house veterans who need privacy and their own land. Something more than an acre with farm animals and places to relax. They don't want too many neighbors, visitors or welfare checks by biased Police. Police who prefer fighting veterans to helping them, out of some sick sport.
It's a set up for institutional confinement by Police, Fire department, State Phycology Doctors, and prison Wardens who desperately need to fill empty Jail cells. That and private mental health wards for profit as well.
If the VSOs cared about a veterans dignity? VSOs could provide sponsorship to the manufacturers of #SylvanSport for every individual homeless veteran in Phoenix AZ, and later thought America. I saw these campers lined up around a city block? It would not offend me at all. It would not be an I saw.
The military trains its combat soldiers to depend on their life safety training. They teach you to survive and to master new skill sets. #AMustsee#SylvansportGO#Solar#electric#beingprepared#preparations#Storage

In golf, the details matter. From slope angles to wind direction, precision is key. A champion caddy is more than a club carrier; they are strategists and motivators, guiding players through each hole like USGA professionals.
To excel, a caddy must know the player, course, conditions, and equipment inside out. They must offer advice wisely, read greens expertly, and stay calm under pressure. Trustworthy and adaptable caddies, like those favored by Arnold Palmer, balance knowledge with humility, always prioritizing the player's needs.
Meticulous course preparation, clear communication, and emotional support during tense moments are vital. The best caddies, like those at sunvalleygreens.com by #alonsoesquivel, master the details, turning observations into winning strategies.

Ride Illinois board member, Cynthia Hoyle. FAICP, LCI, was recently interviewed by Illinois Public Media to discuss the need for safe, connected infrastructure for bicyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users.
Present-day infrastructure makes driving the only real option for too many Illinois residents. But people, especially younger generations, want options. As a result, forward-thinking leaders are working to make their communities safe for adults and children to bike and walk for everyday trips. Change is hard and will take time, but momentum is bulding!
Listen to the 16-minute interview at the link below. Well done, Cynthia!

For the sporty types, all types of sports courts, golf putting greens, and lawns scaled as fields are ideal additions to any backyard! Golf greens are particularly easy to maintain if done with faux turf (We know, we know… but actually the green plastic stuff is getting a lot nicer! We are surprised by the realism of the newly developed ‘grass,’ and with no watering, no mowing, and no weeds to mess up your game, it does have its advantages.)
