Former Stillwater City Council member Dave Junker has been tapped to fill the Ward 2 council seat previously held by Ted Kozlowski, who was elected mayor in November.
Junker served on the council from 2003 to 2006 and was vice mayor for three of those years. He also ran for mayor against Ken Harycki in 2006 and 2010.
"I am very excited to be back on the council," Junker said. "We all know downtown Stillwater is going to change dramatically once the Lift Bridge closes to traffic. I'm looking forward to being part of the decision- making and part of the process of implementing the ideas and suggestions that are already being worked on."
Junker, 58, a lifelong Stillwater resident, is director of franchise asset sales for Anytime Fitness. Before joining the company in 2012, he worked in banking for 29 years.
Bob Flaa from Thialand - School Days
School is off and running! We have just finished the first week of classes at Grace International School. The halls are full of students as GIS welcomed 500 students, its largest enrollment ever.
This is the week that the Flaa family has been anticipating for quite some time. I had a wonderful week settling into the routine of teaching my 3 sections of English 9 and 2 sections of British Literature. Much of the week was spent beginning to get to know the kids I will be working with this year. And what a group it is. I have a wonderfully diverse group of 80 students who hail from 17 different countries.
I also had my first meeting with the orthopedic surgeon here in Chiang Mai. We learned that appointments work a bit differently here. While we had dutifully prearranged a 10:00 time to see the doctor, we found out that it is better to just show up early. Evidently, the doctor sees whoever comes in pretty much in the order you show up. So, at 12:30 we finally made it in to see the doctor.

Proposal could help farmers sell homemade products - Bonita Oehlke
Boston Business Journal - August 18, 2000by Jill LernerJournal Staff
Massachusetts farmers currently can sell their produce and homemade products directly to consumers at more than 400 farm stands and 102 farmers' markets.
If they want to reach a larger customer base, however, many small manufacturers are out of luck under current state law.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health wants to change that.
Current state regulations governing food production prohibit wholesale distribution of products made in a family kitchen. That means growers who make "value-added" or processed products from their produce--such as applesauce or jams--can sell directly to a consumer, but cannot sell their product to a store. By extension, residential kitchen operators are less likely to receive large orders for their product.
With the loss of 90,000 acres of farmland during the past decade, state agriculture officials say value-added products are an increasingly important mechanism through which growers pump more than $530 million in annual cash receipts into the economy.Proposed regulations by the DPH would allow farmers and small manufacturers with residential kitchen licenses to wholesale their products. Farmers with a commercial kitchen license can already wholesale, but are held to more stringent requirements.
