City sets public hearing for rezoing property
During their regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, July 12, the Starbuck City Council conducted the following business:
• Heard from Wayne Anderson who is running in the November election for the office of Pope County Recorder. Anderson said one of the reasons he chose to enter the race was his belief that the offices of Pope County Assessor and Pope County Recorder could be combined into one office. Anderson is currently the Pope County Assessor.
• Approved scheduling a public hearing for Thursday, July 29 at 6 p.m. to discuss rezoning the property located at the intersection of Highway 28/29/114 from residential to commercial. The public hearing will be followed by a special budget meeting.
• Approved, by a 3-1 margin with Mayor Steve Dinsmore voting in dissent, giving Mike Moen 15 days to be in compliance with the city fence ordinance. If the fence is not in compliance within 15 days, the council said it will follow the city ordinance on possible penalties.

Veterans exhibit re-opened at Pope County Museum July 21
Community invited to open house
The Pope County Museum will host an open house on Wednesday, July 21, to re-open the exhibit in tribute to Pope County residents who have served our country in the armed forces. The military service wall is comprised of over 1,500 photographs of Pope County veterans and active duty personnel, including over 350 new photographs.
Veterans from every conflict since the Civil War are represented, and each one has ties to Pope County. One of the recent additions to the wall is Peder S. Reque, who took part in Sherman's March to the Sea in the Civil War before moving west to become Pope County's first resident Lutheran pastor.

A little help in the garden
Across Glenwood, there are many yards adorned with lovely gardens to be envied - meaning there are certainly residents out there with a green thumb and interest in keeping things beautiful.
This story is for you - it's a plea from one gardener to another.
Anita Stone, of Glenwood, said there are two things she really enjoys - walking and gardening. The two came together about six years ago as she made her laps through Barsness Park.
In the spring of 2004, she was walking through the park and noticed there were two large wildflower garden areas full of weeds, grass and dead stalks still standing.
