6th annual SOUPer BOWL
-----------------------
The current temperature is 8 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 30/5
Normal H/L temp for this date is 15/-4
You snow birds may notice that our "normal" low temp for this date has
started increasing. It's already up to 4 degrees,... below zero.

The morning coffee crew is getting smaller every day. Don left Sunday
for Jamaica, Darrel leaves Tuesday morning for Cancoon (I've never been
there so I can't spell it), Donny is leaving Sunday for Arizona, and,
Wednesday we begin our 6 weeks observance of Raumin-gone.
Shirley and Larry left Sunday morning for the sunny south. However, for
some reason, shortly before they hit the South Dakota border they
decided to leave their motorhome in Wahpeton and come back and spend one
more night at home. Rumor has it, it's God's way of checking Larry's
(and ultimately Shirley's) blood pressure before he gets to far away
from home.

Jack Babinski's question concerning the early town of Poland spawned
the following note from Dan. He wrote, >>> Fluff Jones has the land
around that Poland site at this time. Looks more like a concrete batch
plant now. <<< Thanks Dan, some of the older folks may remember Fluff's
dad Clive.
Then Connie sent an even better description with her note. >>> Hi
Gary,
Jack Babinski wrote asking about the town of Poland, ND. I don't
remember ever hearing of Poland, ND but I have a book titled 'North
Dakota Place Names' by Douglas A. Wick. This is what it says about
the town of Poland, ND. Poland (Walsh County). This was a Soo
Line RR station built in 1903 in SE 1/4 Sec. 32-155-51, Walshville
Township., six miles east of Ardoch. It was named by settlers from
Poland, with the name being suggested by area pioneers Frank Nice and
Joseph Michalski. The post office was established January 13, 1906
with Andrew Hobbs pm in his general store, and it closed April 30, 1919
with mail to Ardoch. The only population figure reported was a count
of 1 in 1940.
Enjoy your newsletters Gary. It's the first thing I read when I
open my emails. Thank you for taking so much of your time to give
enjoyment to so many of us.
Connie Sondeland <<< Thanks for caring and sharing Connie. I didn't
realize "Poland" was so close to Grafton.

I was just thinking about mentioning the price of gas in the area when
my red light "blinked" with the following note.
Subject: update and gas
Hey, remember a couple years ago when you said gasoline wouldn't get to
$2.00 a gallon? You were right!! It's $1.99 9/10 here in Drayton, and
another dime cheaper in Grand Forks. Of course since you made that
prediction it's been as high as $3.30. The sad thing is, now that it's
down to under 2 bucks people seem to think they're giving it away. I
wonder how low it will go before it goes the other way again? I'm
guessing not too much lower, I'll bet we don't see $1.50 again, which by
the way would have seemed higher than heck 3 years ago. <<< Thanks a
million for the note, and the update on auto propellant Lee. I'm not
sure what to say, except that I feel equally strong,... both ways.

Did I mention that the all you can eat SOUPer Bowl is Co-Sponsored by
the Crescent Masonic Lodge # 11 of Grafton?
Or, that Supplemental Funds are provided by Thrivent Financial for
Lutherans? Did I remember to mention there would be a delicious variety
of soups, crackers, veggies, bars, and a beverage. ALL between 11:00 am
and 1:30 pm at St. John's Catholic Parish Center on the south end of
Western Avenue in Grafton? If I didn't, I should have, and, I should
have mentioned that the FANtastic SOUPer BOWL event will be this Sunday,
January 28.
I'm sure most already know that ALL proceeds go towards the TRI-COUNTY
CRISIS Intervention, "our" local domestic violence program. All
HOMEMADE!!!!

It is with deepest regret that I share the passing of a long time
friend, mentor and fellow sugar tramp Glenn Kerr.
Glenn Kerr, age 82, of Drayton passed away this past weekend. He
was an Agriculturist in Drayton for many years and retired in 1991.
Glenns funeral will be held at 2:00 p.m. at the Skjeberg Lutheran
Church in rural Drayton.
No visitation is planned prior to the funeral service.
