Who are the Magnificent Seven? Not movie actors, but other heroes such as local teachers, who are given their due today

The assets of being an educator are accessible up on the hill, and you don’t even have to run through the Mill, although you can do so if you like:
— Teachers deserve a (possibly late night) break, so during their appreciation day, on Tuesday, they get a free magnificent seven breakfast at Perkins (although not while they are in class). Lord knows they have put in too many sleepless wee hours grading tests and the like. Not that they don’t like to go out and kick their heals up and party on occasion, but the majority of those I have known have bunched the late-night dancing gig because they are fearful of having the parents of one of their students see them in a situation that could be viewed as compromising. Or they won’t come over and say hello to a journalist like myself for fear of that information going in the newspaper! (No need to worry about that from me, as you have a blank check … so to speak.)
— And when it comes to serving youth, there is this offering from Buffalo Wild Wings, which will benefit young athletes in need through burning your tonsils. A total of $1 will be given to charities such as equipment for youthful athletes when you buy a bottle. Not of beer, but one of their specialty sauces, and a recommendation of their blazin’ sauce has been made. And go across the street to Green Mill for a special of four-cheese breakfast pizza. But you can always quench that hot taste on your lips with a Mountain Dew, which is the focus of a different charitable effort for tending to weather ravaged countries, called Team Rubicon. Call it rebuilding through caffeine and sugar.

As the months turned, this is the season for truck and tractor pulls, (and corn feeds, too, all around), and this time around moreso, the kids are all right and cooking and taking the reins, as this weekend in Hammond Heartland Days, in the heart and center of St. Croix County. To that early-in-statement end, there is a truck and tractor pull At The Days, but don’t diss or miss it, it is not necessarily for these huge hulksters seen on ESPN lunking things like a semi and than climbing (aboard) up the steps of a set of bleachers to...
At the GasLite Bar and grill grounds in Ellsworth will commence in style the fourth annual TRIMBELLE DAYS event, running Aug. 1 and 2, with a noon Saturday start slated for the tractor pull (registration begins 90 minutes earlier) featuring antique and farm stock and shortly afterward Eddie’s acoustic solo act with a 1-3 p.m. outdoor bar and a Sunday, UTV Ride at 11 a.m. That’s followed up in a like minded way by the Saturday, Aug. 8 Hogs For Heroes with a presentation of keys ceremony at 12:30 p.m. with a Wisconsin veteran recipient getting Back to The Road with the healing gift...
A snapshot from the hampered heartland. Where the music won’t play for days anymore. This just in, an old shack located at 1 Terra Parma in Indiana will cost you $2K a month to rent. Hey, you could get a mortgage, with such dirty deeds done dirt cheap. The good news is that it includes utilities; but there’s no AC. That old tack is an old joke, but the rest of this isn’t. To get there, you are bus riders on the storm, and it’s a bad one, as when the greyhound grey line is nearly full on a Tuesday...
In a recent Minnesota Twins game, there were, what, eight of them runs that were doubled as they are Twins, as the home team led 16-0 after five innings, as viewed at Hudson Tap. This is not U.S. football with a couple of two-point conversions, and certainly not futbal, though they televise a lot of soccer. If there ever was a reason to invoke the old high school baseball and softball mercy rule, it was time, and I had been on both sides of that many a time back in my playing days. (The other pro ball squad shortly afterward...
I wonder if they celebrated in Belgium like they did in the U.S., in advance, partying in the streets with maybe rioting coming later, prior to the win of the former over the latter in the mere — but still highly publicized, even here — quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup that would continue on for another two weeks or so, then bow out soon after killing the U.S. hopes. The Elite Eight, if I can borrow a term from NCAA basketball, can be a bitch. First term, not second one. Wait, isn’t that a political reference? Anyway, they are...
With the Full Tilt Boogie, the Friday and Saturday choppers/vans/bands/camping event at The Gaslite near Ellsworth, they offer us a lesson in not only music with the likes of Janis Joplin references and also the road running machines and what they’ll bring to the frantic jamming, but the sciences and history? (But first, there is a Friday movie and DJ at The Gaslite, and on Saturday a premier Van Halen cover band, Extermination Day Band, (know your history), the Rumours Band and Smokey Mirror.) But (sub)-standard or lesser known historical subtexts of the event title for the 17th and 18th,...
