One of the Finest Shooting Facilities in the Upper Midwest

Fun for the Whole Family!

• 25, 50, 100, 200 & 300 yard shooting ranges. • Open all year for target practice. • Located in secluded wood- land setting.

by Samantha Weaver

• It was 20th-century television, film and culture critic John Leonard who made the following sage observation: "In the cellars of the night, when the mind starts moving around old trunks of bad times, the pain of this and the shame of that, the memory of a small boldness is a hand to hold." • You probably won't be surprised to learn that a group of hedgehogs is known as a prickle. • In almost every state, there is a statute on the books making it illegal to jump off the top of an office building. Unsurprisingly, there's not much call to prosecute those who violate the law; district attorneys aren't in the habit of filing charges against corpses. However, in a few states, if you survive jumping off a building and are tried and convicted of violating that law, you could be sentenced to death. • Those who study such things say that among social media users, those who use Twitter are less likely to smoke than users of other platforms. • Just as humans have distinctive fingerprints, dogs have nose prints -- no two are the same. • You doubtless know of Theodore Geisel -better known as Dr. Seuss, the beloved author of such children's classics as "The Cat in the Hat," "Horton Hears a Who" and "Green Eggs and Ham," among many others. You might not realize, though, that his first book, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," was rejected by more than two dozen publishers before it finally made it into print. • Did you know that dogs appear in the Bible? Yep -- 41 times. No mention of cats, though. *** Thought for the Day: "What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul." -- Joseph Addison
