since the late 1800 s but in the last
10 yean enterprising Americans
have joined the fever in large
numben and the public’s general
knowledge of ratites is growing.
Today the ratite industry is
growing rapidly attracting passive
and active investors alike as well
as providing a diversified agricul
ture for the U.S. Ratite products
are slowly trickling down into
mainstream America. For in
stance, the ratites’ red meat looks
and tastes like beef but with lower
fat and cholesterol than turkey.
The premium leather products are
durable and exotic and are in
much demand throughout Europe
and the U.S. Emu oil, although not
new to the Australians, is the re

and serve them to the hundreds of
people during the clean up and
rebuilding phrase.
While the actual fire is terrifying
enough, it’s the uprooting from a
normal day-to-day living that is
most exhausting.
A neighbor offered a rent-free
house to them during the rebuild
ing. They used a snowmobile to
(ravel across the treacherous snow
and ice-covered fields to care for
the dairy herd on their farm.
Many friends, churches, and the
community brought furniture,
housewares, and donated money
toward rebuilding.
“It was a hodge podge of things.
When you're without anything,
you aren’t picky. You’re just glad
for every piece donated.”
Lucille continually remarked on
the helpfulness of neighbors and
friends during the clean up and
rebuilding. She and her husband
were amazed by the outpouring of
help.
“I was better dressed after the
fire than I ever was in my life,”
Lucille said.
She owes that to a friend who

friend gave not loaned her
best clothing to Lucille.
“She didn’t give me partially
worn out clothing but her newly
purchased wardrobe,” Lucille said.
Spring and summer brought a
host of outdoor work in addition to
the rebuilding and farm work.
A family came and hoed their
garden, pulled weeds, roto-tillered
the soil.
“It was such a boost to have
someone do the outside work,”
Lucille said.
“We are blessed to be part of a
wonderful, unselfish community.
It was a devastating experience and
loss. I can’t pretend that it wasn’t
stressful financially and physical
ly, but the support of the communi
ty, of churches, of individuals, was
such an encouragement We could
not have rebuilt without the help of
so many people. We are tremend
ously blessed and can never repay
the community for all they’ve
done."
Eight months after the fire, the
Stoltzfuses held an open house for
all people who helped in a multi
tude of ways.
