in particular, because of
the family part of it, Terry
said.
Thanksgiving was
always a really big holiday
for Ron, she said. Ironically and sadly, the type of
cancer that Ron had prevented him from eating
with his mouth. He was
pretty much on a feeding
tube for the last four years.
And even with that,
he still wanted to have a
big Thanksgiving gathering here with all the food
and the smells and all the
people, because he wanted
to continue to have that
camaraderie and that familial tradition, even though
he couldnt eat any of the
food.
So the Parisi tradition of
celebrating with family and
friends will continue.
Most of the food on the
Parisis table the fresh
salad, Brussels sprouts,
squash dishes and pumpkin
pies comes off the farm.

opening in May, he said,
thanks to a word-of-mouth
approach that he seeks to
include people and athlete
types of all ages. Despite
the savage-sounding name,
Primal is much more than
just a place where big guys
grunt and put heavy things
up and down.
P.R.I.M.A.L. is an acronym, Brooks explains.
I know it sounds like
youre a caveman spearing
an elk, but its the pillars of
what we believe in Powerful, Respectful, Intense,
Muscular, Athletic Lifestyle. Youre going to get
powerful. When you come
here, youre respected, no
matter if you can bench
press the bar or 500 pounds.
Its an intense muscular
athletic lifestyle.
Brooks said many people
are realizing the positives
that working with weights
can bring to their everyday
life.
Theres a lot of benefits
to being stronger, he said.
It increases your bone density, which as you get older,
starts to decline, so youre
less likely to break bones
if you take a spill, because
your bones are a lot denser
and thicker.
Brooks said when lifting
weights, its all about proper technique, and what you
dont know can hurt you.
I hear people say squattings bad for the knees,
he said. My response is,
Squatting is one of the
best thing you can do for
your knees, to building the
muscle around your knee
to protect it, but only if
you squat correctly. If you
half-squat, you put pressure
on your patella which is not
good for your knees.
While the gym has plenty
of massive equipment for
heavy lifting This is not
something you can get at
Dicks Sporting Goods,
Brooks said there are fitness classes for kids that
he teaches and several for
women led by personal
trainer and powerlifter Becca Abrahams, who said Primals challenge fitness is
catching on.
Crossfit has brought
strength straining more into
the mainstream for women,
where before it was, Oh, I
dont want to get bulky,
she said.

Brooks, who competed in
the inaugural strongman
event at this years Syttende
Mai inaugural celebration,
said hes enjoying learning
Stoughtons unique culture.
He said powerlifters tend to
have their own culture, too,
and hes looking forward to
sharing that with the community, and perhaps dispel
a myth or two.
They are some of the

Brooks said of lifters. If
you show up to a meet,
youll find guys with flame
tattoos on their arms, big
burly beard, bald head they look like someone you
wouldnt want to meet up in
a dark alley with but they
are some of the most lovable, kind people you will
meet.
Brooks said the powerlifting community is very
supportive, which is something he takes full advantage of to help others, and
himself.
We get to know each
other really well, we trade
notes on what were doing
in out training, if were

Idolatry
Idolatry is usually thought of as the worship of idols, idols being things or forms
which are not God. Idolatry can take many
forms, from worshipping creatures rather
than the Creator, to worshipping an image.
The original Greek word, eidololatres, is a
simple combination of two Greek words,
eidos, meaning form, and latreia, meaning service, suggesting that the term
originally entailed worshipping (or serving)
an image or form. For whatever reason,
human beings are strangely disposed to
this grave sin, perhaps because we are
material beings and our minds and hearts
are so easily drawn to images and material
things which can then seem by their power
or beauty to be divine. The history of the
early Israelites is replete with examples of
idolatry, most notably the worship of the
golden calf in the 32nd chapter of Exodus,
but also earlier in Genesis 31:19, where we
are informed When Laban had gone to
shear his sheep, Rachel stole her fathers
household gods. Household gods is a
translation of the Hebrew word teraphim
and in this passage there is barely a
hint of Gods disapproval. In Exodus 32,
however, three-thousand of the Israelites
were struck down by the sword for their
sin of worshipping the golden calf. Shortly
thereafter the Lord struck the people with
a plague because of what they did with the
calf Aaron had made. (Exodus 32:35) We
would all do well to remember Gods first
commandment.

Parisi: Family farm has 45 CSA members in year one, hopes to grow to 80 families
Continued from page 1
When we moved to this
farmhouse, all we had was a
push lawnmower without a
motor on it, Terry recalled.
Our yard in Madison was
tiny.
The family had to acquire
lots of stuff chainsaws, riding mowers, and eventually a
tractor to survive those early
years on the farm, she said.
For the first 14 years, they
used about half the land for
conventional crop rotation,
growing corn, soybeans and
wheat. They provided the
land for a neighboring farmer
to use, and split the cost and
the harvest.
That arrangement is ongoing, but about 11 years ago,
Franco Parisi, 33, decided he
wanted to begin growing produce organically.
He did some research and
began growing vegetables on
an acre. Each year, he learned
more about growing organically and efficiently.
Ron and Terry helped, as
well, despite the fact that each
had their own career.
Ron worked as a maintenance technician at the UW
Hospital until completing an
MATC nursing program in
1994. Nursing then became
his passion, and he worked
for adults with developmental
disabilities, caring for them
in the comfort of their own
homes.
Terry taught in the Oregon
School District, where she
still works.
Becoming a CSA
In the early years of growing produce, Franco and
Terry sold organic vegetables
at farmers markets in Stoughton, Oregon and Evansville.
They did most of the work
by hand and spent long hours
laboring in the garden especially Franco.
He is the brains and the
grunt work of this operation,
and I am stoop labor, Terry
explained.
Franco orchestrates what
were planting and how were
going to locate it to meet the
specifications to be organic.
He researches and does all the
best practices.
Within a couple of years,
they were supplying produce
for grocery co-ops and restaurants in Madison and Stoughton, including The Weary
Traveler, Alchemy, Hotel Red
and, more recently, Wendigo.
In 2007, they decided
to become a CSA farm.
Photo submitted
Ron Parisi, who died in July, proudly displays an organic megabeet grown on the farm.
The children of neighbors Beth and Rick Melner gather around their CSA share at Parisi Family Farm.
Finding balance
In order for the produce
operation to become financially viable long-term, Terry
said she and Franco are going
to have to enlist more CSA
members.
Its a difficult balance of
producing enough food for all
those people and not working
themselves into the ground.
Were kind of at a crossroads right now, Terry said.
Were just not even sure
because this year has been so
incredibly difficult with my
husbands illness and then his
ultimate passing, and we had
to keep it going without him.
So were kind of re-evaluating, she continued. If we
were to do the CSA again next
year, we certainly would say
were in for more members.
She and Franco figure they
have the land, and the only
way they can make the CSA
work is by getting to a threshold where the sweat and equity starts to pay off.
They think that sweet number is 70 or 80 members.
Were hearing from other
farms that once you get to 80,

Q. What are you doing to protect my loved one in a skilled nursing facility against this disease called Ebola?
A. Ebola is transmitted by someone with the disease via contact with their blood or other bodily fluids. Currently,
adno=383573-01
there is no proven treatment for this virus. A person can become infected with Ebola if they have been exposed to the
bodily fluids of someone infected with the virus. The infected person may not show symptoms of the virus for 21 days.
Nazareth Health and Rehabilitation Center has adapted Health Dimensions Groups Policy on Ebola preparedness; we
are screening patients carefully prior to admission into the facility for signs and symptoms of Ebola. Our admission
coordinator is working to ensure that new residents do not have a fever of unknown origin and have not come into
contact with someone with Ebola. They also are focused on determining if someone has been potentially exposed to
Lauren Hartlaub RN, Ebola which could occur if they have visited Western Africa in the last 21 days. Employee illnesses are also being

recover in 1-2 weeks from the flu, others develop serious lung infections. This type of
flu complication can land one in the hospital, and also lead to Pneumonia, Bronchitis
and other serious infections. More than 60% of seasonal flu-related hospitalizations and
90% of related deaths occur in people 65 years and older. The flu is a greater concern for
the elderly because, as we get older, our immune system becomes weaker. This makes it
easier for seniors to get the flu, and much more difficult to fight off complications from
it. Ask your doctor if you should get a flu shot and when to get it. You can go to your
local clinic or even the local pharmacy to receive your flu shot. Nows the time to set up
your flu shot appointment because most medical experts recommend you get a flu shot
in November. In general the flu season begins in December and can last until spring.
If you wait until the midst of flu season to get a shot, these antibodies in the flu shot
wont have enough time to develop immunity from the flu. According to the National
Institution on Aging, Medicare will pay for a flu shot.

The Host-A-Family
(HAF) organization is looking for businesses and individuals who could provide
gifts anonymously for more
than 300 families in need
during the holiday season.
The group is short of covering gifts for nearly 125
families, organizer Lisa
Clark told the Hub.
Last year, the group
helped close to 160 families
in Stoughton. The nonprofit
Host a Family organization
has been in operation for
about 20 years.
Those wishing to be added to the list of potential
hosts for this years Christmas giving event should
email hostafamily@gmail.
com as soon as possible
so they can get their family wish list and gifts delivered to HAF for the early
December delivery to the
recipients.
Although we still need
hosts, with the holidays
upon us, the best thing people could do right now is to
purchase gift cards which
can be redistributed to families in need, Clark said
in an email. Some of the
most requested items have
included household goods,
How to help
Purchase gift cards that will be distributed to
families in need in Stoughton. Send cards to:
Host-A-Family Program, P.O. Box 295, Stoughton,
WI 53589
Or you can shop online and donate proceeds to
Host-A-Family: shop at smile.amazon.com and
designate Host-A-Family as the charity of choice.
warm clothing, and toys for
the little ones so gift cards
that can be used for these
would be greatly appreciated.
Many families struggling
today are also requesting
items like food, gas cards
and clothing to help them
make ends meet, Host-AFamily coordinator Sue
Schadewald said in a news
release. The groups mission has evolved over the
years from one gift-giving
event to helping families in
crisis throughout the year.
In most cases, help from
HAF allows families to
regain stability in their lives
and locate more long-term
assistance from other organizations and resources.
The need in the community has never been greater,
