Todays Gazette is being brought to you, in part, by The Grafton
Federated Church. The home of the 2nd annual Fabulous CHILI-RAMA
COOK-OFF. This Saturday from 11 to 4. For a mere $6 a person, $15 a
family, you can enjoy one, or all, of the dozen or more chili recipes
offered at this years CHILI-RAMA COOK-OFF.

The current temperature is 3°.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was
Normal H/L temp for this date is
With temperatures of the past few days, and, those in the forecast.
This would be a super spot for a world conference on global warming. The
Grafton Armory, which sits right in the middle of what was once a
gigantic glacier, has ample room to handle the sale of billions of
dollars worth of "carbon credits" for the very rich. I could even
arrange a spot in front of the line for the Schwarzeneggers and Gores of
the world so that they can continue spewing their bull excrement into
the same air we breath.
It is unbelieveable to me that all the rich need do is purchase a few
acres of swamp land to justify their frivolous life styles.

===== GUNNER =====
May I have your attention please?
This is a special note from John Aasand to "GUNNER" and all his friends
and contractor buddies. He says you're supposed to load up a buss load
from Grand Forks and bring them to Grafton Saturday for the Chili-Rama
Cook-Off.
While your at it Gunner, come a little earlier Saturday and stop by St.
Johns Church for a fantastic benefit breakfast for the Grafton Wrestling
club. Gene Fayette organized Grafton's wrestling club a couple of years
ago, and, although still in it's infancy, the club seems to be doing
quite well. However, like all fledgling organizations, they can use all
of the support "our" community can muster.
As for me Gunner, I'm thinking maybe you could buy up a dozen or so
breakfast's, a couple gallons of chili and bring it all up to your place
at Rocky Point and we could have us a really super "winter
wing-ding",..... of sorts. Okay?
-----------------------
There is still no sign of a house on the new foundation across the
street from Ole Aasand's. However, there has been a little more activity
on the multi-unit garages for the apartment complex just south of there.

Gladys and Harry Misialek have the cutest snowman in their picture
window.

When you drive by Jim & Nicole DeSautel's home at 425 15th street West,
turn your FM radio to 88.9 to listen and watch a super neat Christmas
sound and light show.

Speaking of holiday lighting. I noticed some members of the city of
Grafton crew decorating one of the shelters in Leistikow Park. It really
looks great and certainly does light up the northwest corner of the
park.
It appears the folks from the park are still to busy to fix the flag
and get all the park department decorations functional. I'm guessing
they will get around to it, as soon as they can.
While I was driving through the park yesterday afternoon shortly after
4:00 pm I counted 5 cars in front of me and one (that I could see)
behind me.
How wonderful, I thought, that so many were able to visit Leistikow
Park and to appreciate the significant effort and enjoy the wonderful
displays.
How unfortunate, I thought, that only a few of the displays were
actually lit so they could truly be appreciated as they should. Yes, it
is still daylight at 4:00 pm, even in this country. However, it would be
an unusual day in deed that it would be to bright for the lights in the
park to be ineffective.
There must be hundreds of people stopping, shopping or just passing
through "our" community that simply can't wait til dark to appreciate
"our" parks presentations before returning to their homes. How much
more could a few additional hours of electricity possibly cost?

I received the following note, postmarked Gettysburg, from my friend
Kermit. >>> OK, Moe.......now I believe "Shivercity" is for
real....all the Skeeters are dead. 10 degrees will do it. I will keep
track of the future below zero report. I'll bet you your front tooth
(teeth) that the high school and college kids are still outdoors in
t-shirts!!
How on earth did you manage gnawing on a turkey bone? I can
sympathize.....I, too, knocked out a couple of front teeth, the year
before last, because I tripped over a manhole cover which was being
repaired on the streets of NYC. I think I would have been better off
had the cover beenleft to the side. Come to think of it, we might
have had a better view of the TG parade last Thursday from below! We
accompanied our little grandchildren, along with the hundreds of
thousands of other turkeys. Santa welcomed in the Christmas season
andled his entourage of elves and cheering throngs right to the front
doors of Macy's!! Uf da!
We wish you, your family and greater Shivercity family a very SMILEY
Holiday Season, but for the right reason! Kermit and Barbara
<<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Kermit. Our best to you
and your sweetheart, from me and mine, this holiday season as well. We
will look forward to seeing you again this summer at Rocky Point.

Many people still believe that sugar intake in children causes
hyperactivity. A meta-analysis, however, of 16 different reports from 23
separate studies with 560 subjects showed virtually no effect of sugar
intake on the hyperactivity in children. In a review of the literature
from 12 double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, no association was
found between sugar intake and hyperactive behavior. Thus, despite
numerous anecdotal perceptions to the contrary, systematic, controlled
studies show that sugars do not cause hyperactivity.

===== CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!
Rumor has it that Ben and Sara (Rystad) Suda spent the first night of
their tenth year together last night. Only time will tell if that was a
bonafide event. However, another rumor has it, Sara did "entertain" Ben
during a anniversary lunch at the Curling club. If that's true then I
certainly would expect Ben to recipricate with a scrumptious brunch at
the Ice Box today.
Right Ben?
Congratulations Ben & Sara, from Pat and Gary and our entire gene pool.
After all, 9 years doesn't seem long at all,... until you realize
that's 3,375 days, or, a whopping 81,000 hours together.
Or so it seems to me.
