State grants boost community gardens in Douglas County Being able to grow your own food is rewarding. It’s possible … even though it’s still a hobby, its part of what we do. We grow our food, UW-Extension horticultural educator Jane Anklam said. Written By: Maria Lockwood | ×

Seed money from the Growing Together Wisconsin initiative is impacting Douglas County communities and how they view food.
The mini-grants have fueled construction and expansion of the Superior Community Gardens Association site on the 2300 block of Oakes Ave., pouring $6,000 into the project over three years. New for 2021, mini grants of up to $2,500 each were awarded to the Parkland Community Garden and Northwest Wisconsin Community Service Agency’s Solid Rock supplemental garden in Superior.
Protestantism like the rest of the world continues to evolve.
Compared to fairly recently, the country looks vastly different.
Less than four decades ago, President Ronald Reagan declared 1983 the “Year of the Bible.”
It was no great shock: In the early ’80s as reported by the Pew Research Center 89% of Americans identified as Christian.
Adherents to other religions totaled 4% while only 7% subscribed to no religion at all.
Since then, faith has seen a radical decline.
As observed by Gallup, 2019 marked the first year American church membership dropped below 50%.
U.S. church membership was 73% when Gallup first measured it in 1937 and remained near 70% for the next six decades, before beginning a steady decline around the turn of the 21st century.

Klint Stewart, pastor of Calvary United Methodist Church in Fremont, talks about his ministry. TAMMY REAL-MCKEIGHAN, Fremont Tribune
Similar to the old-time circuit-riding pastors, Klint Stewart travels from one Methodist Church to another preaching the Gospel.
Stewart drives a car instead of riding a horse.
And his Sunday morning schedule might have amazed those long-ago ministers.
His morning starts at 8 a.m. Sunday at Christ Methodist Church in Schuyler.
He makes the drive to reach Calvary United Methodist Church in Fremont for the 9:30 a.m. service. From there, he heads to Hooper for the 11 a.m. service at Faith United Methodist Church.
