County plans summer road projects BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL WRITER
BURNETT COUNTY—The county’s biggest road improvement projects during 2017 will involve seven miles of work to portions of County Road H and County Road Z.

Grantsburg High School students and chaperones spent several March days in biology research and study in Costa Rica. They also enjoyed staying with host families.

Grantsburg students share highlights of Costa Rica trip GRANTSBURG—Last January, several Grantsburg high school students and their families hosted Costa Rican students for a snowy winter week as guests in local homes and at the high school. During school’s winter
break March 10-19, Grantsburg students accepted an invitation to visit their Costa Rican friends and stay in their homes near San Jose, the nation’s capital. While there, they toured a park with three waterfalls, Volcano
National Park and spent a day at their friends’ school. After home visits, the Grantsburg group traveled to rustic “eco-lodge” on Osa Peninsula. SEE COSTA RICA, PAGE 9
County H The H project will rebuild 3.9 miles of road from County Road EE to Delano Road in the Town of Roosevelt in the county’s southeastern corner. County Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs told the infrastructure committee the design firm of Mead & Hunt is working on the construction plan. It will be bid in May with a projected completion date of September 15, 2017. County Z The summer season’s other large project will be three miles of County Road Z in the towns of Anderson and Trade Lake from State Road 87 to Church Road. Construction and completion is planned for late summer 2017. A&H If funds remain after completing the forementioned projects, the county highway department wants to take on another County Road H project to reconstruct about one
mile of County H northward from A&H intersection in the Town of Scott. Webb Lake Supervisor Larry Main told the county board at its meeting last Thursday that the condition of H north of the A&H intersection has gotten so bad that many drivers choose to drive on the shoulder. In another project under review, engineers are completing analysis of County Road H from County Road G to Gaslyn Creek Road in the Town of Rusk. Two sharp curves there are under consideration for improvements or road straightening. The analysis will weigh the costs versus benefits of improving or eliminating the curves. The project is tentatively scheduled for construction in 2018. The county is also finalizing its list of county roads that will get routine maintenance including crack sealing, seal coating and line painting. County O County Board District 4 Supervisor Jeremy Gronski, who serves parts of the towns of Anderson, Grantsburg and Trade Lake southwest of Grantsburg, told the county board that three miles of County Road O west of State Road 87 also needs high-priority repair because of “severe and dangerous deterioration.”

Get the whole story– read the Burnett County Sentinel Early Childhood Screening Grantsburg Elementary School is currently putting together a screening for three and four year old children in the Grantsburg School District. The screening will take place on April 12th at Nelson School. The students who will be screened are those who will turn four between March 1st and August 31st, 2017.

If your child was born between March 1st and August 31st, 2013, please call the Elementary School at 715-4632320 to schedule a time for your child’s screening. Thank you.

Traffic stop leads to meth arrests GRANTSBURG—A traffic stop on a tan Chevrolet Malibu speeding in Grantsburg Township resulted in seizure of methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Burnett County Sheriff’s Office stopped the tan Malibu for speeding in the Township of Grantsburg sshortly after 10 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21 accordT iing to the criminal comp plaint. The Burnett County S Sheriff’s deputy identified tthe vehicle driver as Alan S Schwartzbauer. The vehic cle passenger was identified as Kayla Evans, the M Malibu’s registered owner. The deputy had informattion that an arrest warrant h had been issued that same Alan Schwartzbauer day for Schwartzbauer, and so asked Schwartzbauer to get out of the vehicle and advised him of the warrant and that he was being placed under arrest at that time. While the deputy was searching him, Schwartzbauer told the deputy he had a marijuana pipe in his pocket, the criminal complaint states. The deputy also found a large amount of cash in Schwartzbauer’s pants pocket. Asked by the deputy if there was anything illegal in the vehicle, Schwartzbauer said no. Another officer on scene stayed with Schwartzbauer while the deputy went to the vehicle. Schwartzbauer had left the driver’s door open when he got out and the deputy could see a digital scale in the cubby of the door. Schwartzbauer said that the scale was for weighing mail and that he had “mailed off a bunch of letters.” When the deputy asked Schwartzbauer why there was white residue on the scale, Schwartzbauer did not respond. Under the scale, the deputy saw a blue gem pack containing something that looked like a shard of glass.
When the various items of drug paraphernalia and suspected methamphetamine and marijuana were tested for the presence of controlled substances by the deputy, results came back positive for methamphetamine on three of the items and a positive result for THC (marijuana) came back on a fourth. Charges were filed against Schwartzbauer on March 24 in Burnett County Circuit Court for Felony Possession of Methamphetamine; Misdemeanor Possession of THC (Marijuana), Misdemeanor Possession of Drug Paraphernalia; and Misdemeanor Bail Jump. Schwartzbauer has ano other criminal case open i Burnett County Cirin c cuit Court, filed in April o 2016 and charging him of w with two counts of Misdem meanor Retail Theft for w which Schwartzbauer had a active bail bond that rean q quired him to not commit a further criminal acts. any Charges were also filed a against Evans on March Kayla Evans 24 for Felony Possession of Methamphetamine, Misdemeanor Possession of THC (Marijuana), Misdemeanor Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and three counts of Felony Bail Jump. In another open court case filed on March 24 in Burnett County Circuit Court, Evans is charged with Misdemeanor Theft. Evans also has a third open criminal case in Polk County Wisconsin Circuit Court filed in February charging her with Felony Possession of Methamphetamine and Misdemeanor Possession of Drug Paraphernalia for which she was under a bail bond with conditions that she not possess any drugs or paraphernalia. Both Schwartzbauer and Evans appeared March 27 in Burnett County Circuit Court and are scheduled to appear again in early summer.
What others have wondered and you should know about Judicial Candidate Melissia Mogen I’ve been hitting the pavement and here are some actual comments and questions that I have received that I think the public may also be interested in learning the responses. I thought it was important to get the information to the voting public. ~Mel Mogen 1. You look young. Aren’t you too young to be a judge? I am 40 years old. The fact that I appear young should not hinder my ability to be elected as Judge. The youngest judge in Wisconsin was Robert Cannon who was 27 years old. He served in judicial capacity for over 35 years. Justice Gableman, now on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and formerly a Burnett County Judge, took the judicial seat in 2002 when he was 36 years old; he was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court when he was a mere 42 years old. 2. You are too pretty to be a judge. While I appreciate the compliment, I am focused on the experience and skill set I will bring to the bench. A person’s appearance does not represent their intelligence and drive. My looks should not be used against me in any race, employment, or endeavor. People make assumptions about me based upon my appearance. I have always had to perform duties and demonstrate my hard work and drive twice as
much as others. Additionally, I have to work harder to prove my intelligence, capability, and qualiÀcations because of how I look. 3. You don’t have any endorsements. I will not accept an endorsement. Nor have I taken any political contributions from Burnett residents. To me, justice is and should be blind and impartial. I am not, and refuse to be, indebted to anyone and do not want anyone to believe that I will give favors to anyone. Moreover, I do not want to burden our residents in asking them to contribute and fund my desire to continue to improve our County by becoming Burnett County Judge. 4. Your name isn’t as well-known. My name has not been well-known to County residents as Melissia Mogen. I was known growing up in this County as Missy Christianson. Even though I came home to practice law in this County 7 1/2 years ago, I did not advertise and accepted private clients through word of mouth. My focus was not on expanding my client-base, but on providing top-rated legal service to all of my clients. I have drive and determination. I have hit the pavement and talked with as many people as I can before Election Day. I may not be able to talk to everyone, but I am trying my best to connect with as many people in this County as I can. 5. You don’t have as much experience. Experience is not measured by the number of years you have practiced
law. Justice Gableman only practiced law for 8 years before taking the bench in Burnett County for 6 years before being elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Experience is determined by what you have done in the years of practice, hard work and dedication, commitment to the practice of law, excelling at what you do, going above and beyond, knowledge and ability to research the law, and integrity. I have been l practicing law for 14 years this April, not including time as an extern and legal assistant. I have taken three bar exams and am licensed and practiced law in three states: Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I have worked at large law Àrms, medium law Àrms, and now have my own practice. Additionally, I worked for nonproÀts and governmental entities, including the Michigan Attorney General’s OfÀce. I have had thousands of clients and cases in all areas of the law except for intellectual property. I have experience in Criminal and Civil Litigation, Business/Employment, Real Estate, Family Law, and the list goes on. Currently, I am the Burnett County Small Claims Court Commissioner, a quasi-judicial position; I am the Court-appointed mediator for all family law cases for Polk and Burnett Counties; I work with Indianhead Action Agency representing domestic violence and sexual assault victims free of charge (over 1000 victims to date); and I have my own law practice and mediation services.
6. You are young. If you are elected, won’t you take another higher position if offered to you? When I am elected to the bench, I will stay in that position until I retire or until Burnett County no longer feels that I am doing the job they elected me to do. As with any position, stability and strength in a County is not created with quick and multiple turnovers in the judicial position. The programs suffer, the County suffers, and in turn, the residents suffer. As I have been told, it takes years before a judge feels comfortable in the position of judge. I am raising my kids in this County. I am from this County. Burnett County is my home. I intend on staying on the bench for the duration of my legal career. 7. You seem too liberal for me/You seem too conservative for me. The judicial position is a non-partisan position. I am a person of morals, character, and integrity. I am a person with compassion. I believe that people should be accountable for their actions. Accountability has many forms. A circuit court judge is not and should not be elected for a political motive or reason. A circuit court judge is elected to enforce the law. As a judge, I will be fair and impartial, no matter race, age, gender, etc. I love this County. I am committed to building a stronger and safer community. April 4th is just around the corner. No matter who your candidate of choice is, please get out and vote. Stability. Strength. County-proud. *Paid for by People for a Better Burnett

Guatemalan musings ANTIGUA, GUATEMALA 3/27/17 — A man stood resting his weight on a rusted hoe, reviewing his work that occupies his portion of the planet – a mountainside overlooking Antigua. His ankles were hidden by... papaya leaves? coffee leaves? and his clothes were the color of earth. From above him, I gawked at avocado trees and houses that, to me, resemble sheds where we place our garden tools and bicycles. I see volcanoes, both dormant and active. I noticed the man shortly after everything else. A tiny village lies to the right of Sentinel me on the mountainside where my two travel companions and I rentEditor ed a room through Air B&B. The Sean Devlin home belongs to a native Guatemalan man and his partner, a woman from California who fell in love with this country when she came as a doctor. What I thought in that moment, as I stood with coffee – real coffee – and a soft, paradisiacal breeze molding my day was, “what is that man thinking?” I realize that phrase is quite often accompanied with a judgmental tone; however, I was honestly curious (I still am) about what was going through the man’s mind. The backdrop was a calendar – a painting of somewhere many people know to be real but cannot register as reality. Was it standard to him? To feel sweat bead from his forehead, fall into the dirt and then peer over to a smoking volcano only ten miles away? I wanted to ask, but I was in shock of my surroundings, stabilized by his nonchalance, and, well… I know only two complete sentences of Spanish and both would force any listener to stare blankly and shake their heads in disbelief – I will not be admitting the phrases here. I experienced many more moments like the one on the mountainside. From a park bench (with another cup of coffee in my hands), I watched a young boy, maybe 13, search out every man in dress shoes and offer his leather shining expertise. A woman draped in clothes like Joseph’s technicolor dream coat walked casually with a basket of fruits balanced on her head. People strolled together smiling, laughing and carrying on about their day. I think we assume quite a bit about people when we are in comfortable, familiar surroundings. When you see a person ambling down the street in a Carhartt® coat, mid-calf, camouflage boots and carrying a bag of groceries you think – well, nothing, usually. I could be wrong, of course, but I do feel we sequester ourselves into a daily routine and rarely open the doors to another person’s place in time. While I have left the U.S. quite a few times, I have never been as struck as I was when I watched the man tending his plants on the side of a mountain in Central America. The romantic side of me hopes he was taking a moment to rest and meditate over the view of mountains and volcanoes, but I really just want to know what it was he was thinking.

Drain the post office BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK
“At a time when the Post Office is losing substantial revenue from the instantaneous flow of information by email and on the Internet, slowing mail service is a recipe for disaster.” — Bernie Sanders In the newspaper business, we have a perpetual love/ hate relationship From the Publisher’s with the United States Postal SerDesk vice (USPS). We love the local carTom Stangl riers, clerks and h do their best to get postmasters who our products into the hands of our subscribers. We don’t have much love for the folks that sort the mail at processing centers, where our papers can sometimes languish for days or weeks. Sometimes, they go into a processing center and are never seen again. This is tremendously frustrating for our customers and the newspaper. We are both paying for a service that we are not getting. When the postal service was set up, newspapers and magazines were given a special category and rate structure, one that still exists today. In the early days of my career, it
was called Second Class mail. Newspapers were (and still are) supposed to get expedited delivery and receive the same treatment as First Class mail. This would occur at the local level, but the farther away from our community that subscribers lived, the worse the service would become. This has always been an issue, but the recent changes in the time that mail is collected at local post offices have made a bad situation worse. With a lower volume of mail, the USPS has consolidated mail processing centers. This has also made delivery worse to our subscribers in the area. To improve delivery, we have been taking papers directly to many of the post offices in the county to ensure the quickest delivery possible by bypassing the mail processing centers. This adds cost for the newspaper, but we are willing to do this to keep our subscribers. But as the distances increase and the number of subscribers decrease, it becomes a losing proposition, one that cannot be sustained. The issues at the postal service are nothing new. People have been complaining about the service for decades. Postmaster Generals come and go, each vowing to be the one to finally fix things, but service continues to deteriorate.

ADVERTISING & NEWS DEADLINE IS MONDAY AT NOON
In one form or another, the postal service touches the lives of every American. We deserve to get the service we are paying for each week. When newspapers are delayed even a few days, they cease to become newspapers. Our websites can help, but national estimates indicate that only 10 percent of print readers go online to get their news. When President Trump was campaigning, he struck a chord with many Americans with his message of “Make America Great Again.” I would humbly suggest that the United States Postal Service is about as American an institution as one can find, and if there ever was an organization that needed to be “great again,” it’s the USPS. Please, President Trump, use your bully pulpit and negotiating skills to “drain the swamp” that is the postal service. This is a place that could use your skills, and the impact would be felt by all Americans. With your business expertise, I’m sure you could make things better. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.
Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875
The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR After Trumpcare demise, a listening session in Siren
To the Editor: You could almost hear the collective sigh of relief across the 7th Congressional District of Wisconsin last Friday after the American Health Care Act, aka Trumpcare, went down in flames. While Representative Sean Duffy’s office doesn’t provide numbers, some Republican members of Congress reported calls running 1,000 to 1 against repeal and replacement of Obamacare these past few weeks. Members of Polk Burnett Indivisible (PBI) along with hundreds of others across the district shared their dismay over the Republican plan in calls to Representative Duffy’s office as the bill was being considered. In the end, the prospect of 26 million Americans – new numbers from the Congressional Budget Office – losing health insurance coverage under the revised Trumpcare plan over the next ten years was too much for moderate Republicans. For the Freedom Caucus, the far-right wing of the party, no government involvement in the health insurance issue was acceptable, leaving the Republicans hopelessly divided and dooming Trumpcare to defeat. For his part, Representative Duffy recognizing the political reality, called on Democrats to come to the table with ideas on “Fox and Friends” early last week. He once again pushed the line that President Trump’s success in the recent election was because of widespread discontent with Obamacare, but in the end, that obviously wasn’t the case. What he didn’t acknowledge was the fact that his district has the highest number of Obamacare enrollees in the state – more than 35,000 in 2016 – and therefore would have been hardest hit by its repeal. With that in mind, PBI calls on Representative Duffy to “come to the table” with a willingness to work within the Obamacare framework to bring down costs and truly make healthcare more affordable while making it accessible to all. Or, better yet, he could heed his mother’s advice and advocate for universal health care coverage, saving the 31 cents on every dollar currently consumed by the insurance industry. What’s needed right now, we believe, is a genuine willingness to make health care available to all, regardless of income, something Trumpcare wouldn’t have accomplished.
PBI is in the process of planning a public listening session to be held the evening of Friday, May 12 in Siren. The event, “Northwest Wisconsin Speaks,” will give local people a chance to share their opinions on healthcare and other issues with our elected representatives. Event planning is still in the preliminary stages, but PBI has made some decisions: It will be moderated. Representative Duffy, along with all state and federal elected officials including U.S. Senators Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin, State Senators Sheila Harsdorf and Janet Bewley, State Assemblymen Nick Milroy, Adam Jarchow and Romaine Quinn will be invited. The idea is for the public to talk and elected officials to listen. It will be video-recorded. If you’d like to be part of our growing group of citizens committed to stopping the Trump agenda in its tracks, join PBI at its next large group meeting, at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 4 at the Siren Senior Center. To get regular updates on what’s happening with PBI, send an email to polkburnettindivisible@gmail.com. Marceleen Mosher Polk Burnett Indivisible St. Croix Falls
North Carolina 4th grader seeks Wisconsin info To the editor: Hello! I am a fourth-grade student in North Carolina. In our class, we each write a state report and I have chosen Wisconsin. I am very excited to learn more about your great state. Most of the information for our reports will be from books and websites, but we also like to get information from people who live in the state. This is why I am writing to you. I hope someone will be willing to send me items about Wisconsin to help me learn more about the best things in your state. It could be postcards, some maps, pictures, souvenirs, general information or other items that you think would be useful to me. Please mail items to my school address below. Thank you. I really appreciate your help! Danny Walker Mrs. Hughey’s Class Charlotte Latin School 9502 Providence Rd Charlotte, NC 28277
Voucher operators to receive at least $1,000 more per student than public schools MADISON—A new memo from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau shows that public schools and students continue to suffer while unaccountable voucher operators get first crack at taxpayer dollars. Payments to voucher operators under the Governor’s budget proposal would be at least $1,000 higher per student than the average for public school students, legislaJanet tive Democratic leaders Bewley pointed out. General Aid to public schools Wisconsin would remain below Senator 2010 levels because of diversions to voucher and private charter schools. “Last month I talked about the new budget as a drop in a bucket that has a hole in it. This is the hole in the bucket,” Sen. Janet Bewley (D-Delta) said. “Even as property taxpayers and the families of more than 850,000 public school students are promised more, tax dollars are siphoned off to voucher schools and independent charters that get first place in line, take $1,000 to $1,700 more per student and too often force property taxpayers to make up the difference.” The Fiscal Bureau memo demonstrates that payments to voucher schools under the Governor’s budget would range from $7,757 to $8,403 per student by 2018. Including all of Governor Walker’s proposed increases, public school students would receive an average $6,703. The Democrats pointed out that voucher payments are likely to increase while marginal hikes for public schools are in peril during the months of Republican budget deliberations ahead.

“We all know how the budget process works. For the last three sessions Republicans have devised plans to slip more for voucher school lobbyists into the bill, and my guess is we can expect more of the same,” said Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D-Middleton). “This memo shows why families with students in public schools and property taxpayers should be very wary of GOP plans to widen this gap at the public’s expense.” As shown in the memo, the statewide voucher program has been funded since 2015 by general aid taken directly from public districts. Alarmingly, successful but struggling public schools in Wisconsin communities would be operating with less general aid in 2018 than 2010 once unfair payoffs to special interest voucher schools and private charters are made, the Democrats said. The Democratic Education leaders noted that the memo shows state tax dollars for voucher operators increasing 12 times faster than total school aids and that voucher payments would more than double over eight years of GOP control. At the same time, net general aids that support public schools and reduce property taxes would fall 1.3 percent. “Special interest lobbyists have had the inside track to state tax dollars since the GOP took over budget-writing and this memo shows how much work we have to do to make this right for public school students and taxpayers,” said Rep. Sondy Pope (D-Mount Horeb). “It’s time to stop making handouts to voucher lobbyists a higher priority than our constitutional responsibility to hundreds of thousands of kids in public schools.”

Town Boards LOWELL RIVARD – Town of Sand Lake Chair I am Lowell Rivard, a resident of Sand Lake Township for the past 24 years. I have served on the board as supervisor for two years now. My goal is to strive for more efficiency in the township through better communication. This can be achieved through email, letter or direct communication between the board and community. Once community members’ concerns are heard, I can address them and take appropriate action. Over the past two years, township members have felt comfortable coming to me with concerns. By serving as chairman, I will have the ability to foster change within the community. Thank you for considering me for the position of chairman. If elected, I will serve you to the best of my ability. EDWARD WEBER – Town of Sand Lake Chair My wife, Dianne, and I have owned property in Sand Lake since 1980, and lived here full time since 2005. I am retired from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (34 years) and presently operate a small grassfed beef operation. The issues facing the Town of Sand Lake are similar to all towns in the area. The first issue is lack of
financial resources to maintain and rebuild roads. At this time there is no real solution. The Town needs to continue to apply for grants through county, state and federal agencies. Secondly, we have a large number of landowners who aren’t residents and cannot vote. We need to listen to them and address their concerns as well as those of residents. There is an issue of providing ambulance service. The Town needs to continue to work with the Wisconsin Towns Association to develop a contract that will provide effective service at a reasonable cost. I feel that I have provided effective leadership in the position of Town Chair the past four years. I have also held leadership roles with Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative (President four years), River County Resource Conservation and Development Council (President), and I am currently the Chair of the Administrative Council at Grace United Methodist Church, Webster. I am a good listener and like to hear all sides of an issue before making a decision. I am running for this office to continue the work we have begun and to continue to serve my community. I have no other agenda. A vote for me is a vote for calm, competent leadership. JERRY TJADER – Town of Sand Lake Supervisor I was born and raised in Burnett County, in Siren. In 1998 I was fortunate to be able to move to Sand Lake Township, where I worked from home until I retired.
Tips Find A Quality CPA
A certified public accountant (CPA) can be your best friend when it comes to filing your taxes. Given the numerous changes to tax guidelines and provisions that are announced every year, it’s in your best interest to put your accounting needs into the hands of a certified professional. Doing so will give you the confidence that you have met all of the Internal Revenue Service’s requirements and compliance specifications. What is a CPA? Certified public accountants undergo various intensive, multi-step trainings to ensure their total understanding of the various portions of the tax code and how they impact your return. They also are required to partake in ongoing professional development engagements to make sure they remain current on the aforementioned annual IRS updates.
of professionals facing complicated tax situations that would be better handled by a CPA this tax season. When looking into hiring a CPA for your tax needs, The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants recommends asking these questions: • Does the individual hold an active CPA license? • Are your needs compatible with the CPA’s personality and communication style? • Does the CPA have the experience you need?
Finding a credible CPA who has the bandwidth to take on your project isn’t difficult. Start by asking your friends and family members who they use. Any public accountant will tell you that referrals play a big role in the growth of their practice, so take these recommendations seriously.
Other Ways to Find a CPA Check out your local newspaper’s classified and business sections for local CPAs posting any new advertisements. This is a busy time of year for CPAs with tax season right around the corner, so you should find plenty of newspaper ads, billboards and television commercials announcing services from CPA offices in your neck of the woods.
Why Do You Need One? Take a look at your individual financial situation this year. Are you a small business owner dealing with the complexities of the Affordable Care Act requirements? Are you a freelance professional with a long list of clients sending you 1099 forms? These are just two examples
You also can use the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ website tool “Find a CPA” to find the professional who fits your specific situation. Some accountants specialize in business clients, while others primarily handle individuals. Make sure the CPAs you are considering meet your needs and expectations.
Because of my design and management positions, I am very familiar with a number of the functions it takes to run an organization, including accounting, payroll, and human resources. I don’t see any real issues i our township, but there in a are a few things I would l like to continue to help acc complish. In 2014, the board d developed a comprehensive five-year road-upgrade plan. W are two years into this We p plan now, and we need to c continue to follow up on this a and make sure it is implem mented. For 2017, we develo oped a budget that detailed Jerry Tjader each road project to be completed. We need to test this budget against the actual costs of each project, and determine if this is the way all of our future budgets should be developed. Second, in 2014 we adopted an ATV ordinance that will allow ATVs to use the town roads. I voted against this, not because I dislike ATVs, but because I was not convinced that a majority of the voters were in favor of this. It is now township law and we need to make sure that the ATV usage is not disruptive to our citizens, while guarding against jumping to any conclusions about its success or failure.
AMY BRUSS – Town of Sand Lake Supervisor I feel that the three biggest issues facing the township are that they have older equipment, a lack of help in the shop/road crew, and there is a lack of longterm budgeting and planning. I would deal with these issues by hiring a part-time helper for the shop/road crew and implementing a long term budget. I would like to get some long term budgeting in place for equipment upgrades and other town projects. Voters should vote for me because I am an open minded person who wants to improve things for all who live and own property in the township.
CHRIS SYBERS – Town of Meenon Chair I have been the Town Chairman for the Township of Meenon for the past 12 years along with Towns Association Chairman for Burnett County. I have dealt with a wind storm and a flood along with road dama due to both storms. I’ve age s successfully conducted busin ness with FEMA and the Dep partment of Transportation t gain money for the townto s ship on both storms. The f funds received for the storm d damages is $175,000 pending another $125,000. a We have one more road to rrepair this year at a cost of $$75,000. We have received Chris Sybers $17,000 for wash-outs and a road that is under water. Since I’ve been the Chairman, we have received approximately 8-9 new miles of road and reconstructed 2.5 - 3 miles of road. I have handled the ambulance contract for the past 12 years. We are currently in the middle of a very important contract. With my years of training and experience; I believe I am the best qualified person to handle these matters. The ambulance contracts were very difficult and obtaining the RFPs are very time consuming with a possible $5-7 million contract. I would appreciate the continued support of the citizens of Meenon Township as your Town Chairman. SEE PROFILES, PAGE 7

MICHELLE HOPHAN – Town of Webb Lake Treasurer My name is Michelle Hophan. I am seeking re-election as Webb Lake Treasurer. I’ve held this position for 10 years. I grew up in Webster and moved to Webb Lake Township in 1990. My work experience includes 21 years at Voyager Village as a Server/Bartender & Dining Room Manager and 10 years as a teller at Bremer Bank. In those roles, I provided excellent customer service and was responsible for accurate money handling and balancing. As Township Treasurer, I support the decisions of the board and provide them with a monthly report of account activity and amount of funds available. I work with our Town Clerk to maintain monthly checks and balances, and we are consistently in balance. I believe I’ve been an asset to the board, bringing my strong work ethic and integrity to the team. I’m proud to be from Webb Lake. I have lived and worked here for 27 years. I raised my two children here and want the best for our community and its residents. Voters can count on me for continued service to our Township.
JOHN VANOUS – Town of Scott Supervisor My name is John Vanous and I have lived in Scott for over nine years. I am running for the board to help improve the quality of services we provide our neighbors. A major concern of many r residents is our continued s support of our ambulance a and first responders. This r relationship is at its lowest p point in recent memory. Our board needs to offer t them support so they can g give us prompt service when w need it most. we I will also work hard to i identify ways to improve r road maintenance. This is a complex issue, but I want to John Vanous work closely with our staff to understand what they need to be most efficient to maximize our budget. Another issue I’d like to consider is the allowance of UTVs/ATVs on our roads so people can access the trails without trailering their machines. In talking to other townships that allow this, I am learning the “pros and cons” how to handle this best. The amenities that we are afforded in the Town of Scott are slowly disappearing (US BANK), and we must work together to ensure that we will have a strong, viable future – not be left behind as our neighboring townships make changes to draw businesses to their townships, over ours.

TOM O’BRIEN – Town of Meenon Chair My name is Tom O’Brien and I’m running for the Meenon Township Chair position.

I would deal with these by ttaking care of the necessary first and working on the othe ers, keeping a balance in the ttownship’s financing. I would continue to work iin the roads in rebuilding tthem, deal with snow rem moval, and to enhance some Tom O’Brien of the work going on now. I have lived in the township all of my life and enjoy the area very much. It’s a very neat and clean area and I would like to help keep it that way.
decaying roads and roadsides, b) a lack of localized ambulance services, and c) a lack of transparency in government.

In addition, I will s strive to increase the ambul lance services on a more loc calized level as well as work d diligently to ensure that our r roads are safer on which to t travel. I will accomplish these iss sues by listening to citizens a and problem solving problems that face the Town of Jeff McIntyre Scott currently and in the future.

I’m a little I’ littl short h t on news thi this week k as I was busy celebrating my birthday along with many others. You know how that goes! The older I get, the longer it takes to get any work done. Ha Ha! I know you can all relate! I really think it wasn’t all the cake and coffee. (Is three times out for treats in a day too much?) Oh! Maybe it was the extra cleaning of closets! Hope you had a chance to stop in the Sentinel office to bid farewell to Todd and meet Sean Devlin, the new editor. “Good Luck” to both of these men on their new ventures. We’re busy this week as many items are coming in for our rummage sale fundraiser. There’s still time to drop off those unneeded items you have sitting around.

Packer fan rolls 170 miles in wheelchair to Lambeau
GREEN BAY 3-26-17 — A man using a wheelchair has completed a 170-mile journey from Janesville in southern Wisconsin to Lambeau Field. Fifty-five-year-old Dennis Schulze arrived Saturday at Lambeau Field, accompanied by a crowd of about 40 people including families and law enforcement. Instead of using a wheelchair, Schulze put on a prosthetic leg and walked the last mile to honor those who cannot walk. The Beloit native lost his right leg five years ago in a truck crash. He now makes wheelchair travels for charity. His journey to Lambeau is not the last of his travels, he says.

COSTA RICA: High School Highlights CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
There they learned about the nation’s plants animals and climate. The Sentinel invited students and their teachers to share their experiences and impressions of Costa Rica. Katie Johnson, Spanish Teacher This was the first international trip that I have taken with students, and it was a wonderful experience. Our students were exemplary in their maturity, sense of adventure and gratitude. I would gladly travel with this group of kids again. Our students lived with the families of the students we hosted last January. The students were guests in Costa Rican homes, shared stories and participated in the daily functions of Costa Rican families. Having this dual exchange in Costa Rica served to cement friendships and strengthen bonds among students, families and teachers. The Costa Ricans’ hospitality and generosity are exceptional, and the families of Santa Ana Technical High School took outstanding care of us! One of the best surprises was to have the entire school – teachers included – dress up as Pirates during our shadow day, in honor of our mascot – the Grantsburg Pirates. It was great fun! It was also very humbling, as the organization and planning that went into our shadow day at their high school, as well as our whole trip, was impressive. We returned from Costa Rica with broader horizons, better Spanish and a strong sense of connection with our Costa Rican friends and families. Mark Riewestahl, Senior The highlight of my trip was experiencing the diversity of reptiles and amphibians in Costa Rica. It was incredible to watch a basilisk lizard run across the water and to see a wide variety of frog species in the jungle. While working with turtles at Playa Blanca, I will never forget how I was able to hold a critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle. Janessa Bonneville, Junior Traveling to a new country is a great way to step out of your established comfort zone. For some, the fear of facing unfamiliarity and experiencing culture shock deters them from starting their journey. If you have not yet traveled to Costa Rica, you are definitely missing out on the most beautiful country. From the flora and fauna to the rain forest hikes and incredibly nice people and culture, Costa Rica is definitely the place to go. I plan on returning after I graduate high school to spend time volunteering at different programs to help people and animals.
Claire Palmquist, Senior Our trip to Costa Rica was unlike any other trip I’ve ever taken. We actually got an inside look at the country’s culture. By staying with true residents of Costa Rica, we experienced what everyday life is like for them – including what foods they eat, what they do to pass time and how they interact with other people. Also, by staying with host families, we formed lifelong friendships with people who live across the world. It was an incredible experience. Rachel Glover, Junior The highlight of my trip to Costa Rica was staying at the eco-lodge in the Osa Peninsula for a few days. I saw beautiful plants and animals of the rainforest that I had never seen before. I also met a lady named Karen Leavelle who works with birds in the Osa. There’s a chance that I will go back to be her intern. The trip gave me opportunities I never would have thought to be possible. Thorne Carter, Junior Going to Costa Rica was definitely the trip of a lifetime. Experiencing an ecosystem filled with plants, animals, climates and geological features so different from Burnett County was such an eye opener. The people and culture of Costa Rica are incredible. Everyone you encounter is so nice and welcoming. It really warms your soul and makes you feel a sense of belonging within such a small country with so many people. Just realizing that there are other places with different opportunities for future biologists, scientists and teachers to take advantage of is completely revitalizing for students that may not be truly sure about what they want to do for a career. After visiting, the idea of returning and becoming a citizen there will stick in my mind well through college. Brittanie Blume, Junior The adventure that took place in Costa Rica is truly a memory I will never forget. The views wherever we traveled were absolutely breathtaking. In addition, getting to experience their authentic culture was personally a very intriguing and valuable aspect of the trip. I am genuinely thankful for the opportunity I was given and I am excited to share this beautiful country with those around me. Matt Berg, GHS Biology Teacher We spent four days studying biology on the Osa Peninsula. (Oas is Spanish for bear in reference to the Sloths or ‘Sleepy Bears’ as they’re locally known.) Our first three days and nights were at an Eco-lodge called La Tarde – literally “the afternoon.” The lodge’s several hundred acres border Corcovada National Park – a sister park to the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and one of the
Ownership change at Lean on Me Homecare STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL WRITER
GRANTSBURG—A change in ownership has occurred at Lean On Me Homecare. Beth Ryan, who founded the company in partnership with Nancy Longhenry, has sold her share of the business effective March 20 to Allison (Briggs) Longhenry, a Grantsburg High School graduate and daughter-in-law of Nancy Longhenry. Lean On Me Home Care is a personal care agency. Their mission is “to em-
power and encourage our clients to live independently.” Trained caregivers provide private home care and health care for the elderly and disabled in the comforts of their own home. Allison assumed Beth’s role as Executive Director and will focus on hiring more caregivers and building the company client list in partnership with Nancy. While the company has attracted home care clients from Minong to Amery, it is focusing on Polk and Burnett counties with the possibility of
last great intact virgin rainforests left in Central America. During our time there, we met with professional biologists who shared their research with us and invited us to help contribute to science with them. We went on early morning hikes and saw more than 150 species of birds. Highlights included rainforest specialties that sported every color of the rainbow, including the Fiery-Billed Aricari, Chestnut-Mandibled Toucans, Baird’s Trogon, White-Crowned Parrots, Scarlet Macaws, Green Honeycreepers, Chery’s Tanagers and too many hummingbird species to name. We also saw Baltimore Orioles, Yellow Warblers, American Redstarts and Great Crested Flycatchers preparing to make the more than 2,000 mile flight back to Wisconsin for their summer breeding season. More than 25 percent of Wisconsin’s summer birds can be found during the winter on the Osa, making it a critical habitat for the birds we think of as “ours.” Students also enjoyed seeing and learning about Sloths plus White-Faced, Howler and Spider Monkeys. We also saw Basilisk Lizards, Poison Dart Frogs and a wide variety of other snakes, frogs and lizards. Another highlight of the trip was the insects. From leaf-cutter ants that worked by the millions to bring food back to their colonies to the giant leaf insects and spectacular butterflies including the giant Blue Morpho – a symbol of Costa Rica – there was always something to look at. Although it was the dry season, there were still plenty of flowers in bloom. We
got to watch an endless parade of birds, bees and butterflies that pollinate them by day and well as see bats fly in by night. Students helped set mist nets at dusk and were present when a scientist from Bulgaria caught a wrinkle-faced bat – a rare species that she had never seen before. With only two hours of electric generator power per day and no hot water, we definitely felt “off grid and off-line,” which students seemed to enjoy along with the authentic Costa Rican food we were served. After our time at La Tarde, we joined a group of researchers working at Playa Blanca – the “White Beach.” There we helped capture and tag sea turtles. After putting out several hundred meters of nets, we planted mangrove seedlings in an area where they’re working to restore tidal forest habitats while we waited for turtles. Many dirty hands and one broken shovel later, we had planted dozens of trees. After lunch and a swim, we managed to capture, weigh, measure and tag three turtles (one Pacific Green, and two critically endangered Kemp’s Ridley) including one that was nearly 150 pounds! We wrapped up our time in the Osa by going to Puerto Jimenez, where we checked into a small motel, got hot showers, enjoyed a fresh seafood supper and spent the next day on Gulfo Dulce – “the Sweet Gulf.” There, freshwater from the rainforest mixes with salt water from the Pacific. Students enjoyed snorkeling and also seeing a pod of dolphins after touring a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation sanctuary. After a six-hour drive, we were back in San Jose with our host families.

Women of Tomorrow host junior girls GRANTSBURG—Grantsburg’s Women of Tomorrow held their annual event for high school junior girls Wednesday at Crex Convention Center in Grantsburg. The group emphasizes the importance of manners and etiquette in the world of work. On February 22, the group traveled to WITC-Rice Lake for a day-long workshop in manners and etiquette in the workplace. The students were also treated to hairstyles and manicures done by the WITC students in the Cosmetology Department. The second piece to this initiative is putting skills into practice. On Wednesday, the students participated in a mock business luncheon at the Crex Convention Center. They were seated with adult mentors according to career interests. The goal is to have the students find out the good, the bad and the ugly of their career of interest. The keynote speaker was Ms. Charlotte Antczak. Mrs. Antczak (pictured at left) is the career specialist at WITC-Rice Lake. She and her husband have been successful business owners for several years. She has vast experience to share with the students. The Women of Tomorrow are most appreciative of the adult mentors who gave of their time to guide the students. SUBMITTED

Could you be infected? BY BRITTANY FRY BURNETT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH SPECIALIST
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) affect millions of people per year. By age 25, about half of all sexually active people will have an STI. Many times symptoms will not be present or may be mistaken for something else, such as an irritation. However, if left untreated, severe complications including infertility may result. With this in mind, one can’t always tell if you or your partner has an STI. It only takes one sexual encounter for an STI to be spread between partners. Being tested, using preventative measures and having conversations with your partner about sexual history before the fi rst sexual encounter is essential in stopping the spread of STIs. To be tested, contact your healthcare provider. When speaking with your provider, be sure to inform him or her about your sexual history and discuss the STI(s) for which you will be tested. No one test screens for all STIs. Some tests require urine, while others need blood or a swab sample. Be sure you are tested for all STIs you may have been exposed to. If you test positive – meaning you have an infection – many STIs have treatment options. It is also important to understand your local public health department will be contacting you. Your health information is kept confidential; however, certain diseases, such as positive STI tests are required to be reported to health departments. Public health departments follow-up with patients to assist in answering any questions, informing of prevention strategies and helping with contacting partners to maintain your anonymity, if needed. Finally, remember to take precautions when it comes to your sexual health. Besides being tested and discussing with your partner, using a condom correctly every time can reduce your risk of STIs. Other birth control methods, such as the pill, IUD, implant or patch do not protect you from STIs. Even if you have been previously treated you can reacquire the infections if exposed again, making it vital to always use safe practices.

Lake Superior agates BY LORI CALLAHAN SENTINEL
During the Great Ice Age glaciers helped carve out what would become The Great Lakes, moved south cutting into the earth and carried the Lake Superior Agate with it. Today, our northern waters still hold and harvest the semi-precious stones and many hide still within the earth. Deposits are found as far south as Kansas. The Lake Superior Agate is unique in that it is the most ancient of all agates around the world and created in our unusually ironrich area, a mineral that adds to the agate’s unique color staining.
Bands of color For those unfamiliar with this stone, its banding of color is its most notable characteristic, ranging from the common red and orange-toned stripes to the rare greens and blues, all richly colored by various minerals. Because Chalcedony quartz makes up most of this rock, bands of its creamy, clear or translucent shades are common. Other identifying features are the agate’s brown to red casing which oftentimes hides the banding entirely, and pitting (pock marks) within that surface. A hugely condensed 1.2 billion-year time frame: The North American continental crust rifted and split in this region from roughly Canada to Kansas. Molten magma rock rose to the surface from deep within the earth again and again, piling rock nearly 22,000 feet deep over thousands of square miles. Its weight created a depression in the earth’s crust, a part of which is today’s Lake Superior. As each flow spread upon the surface, they cooled and produced steam and carbon dioxide gas, some of which became trapped in cavities when the flow hardened adding to the chemical components locked within rock that would later interact with other minerals in
t f ti and d color. l stone formation Contracting material in the final cooling and rock crystallization created interconnecting networks of cracks called “fractures.” Subsequent volcanic activity produced magmatic waters that carried dissolved silica and other minerals, including calcite, chlorite, iron and other traces, and eventually filled the network of fractures. Each passing flow deposited thin layers of chalcedony quartz, one atop the next, on the walls of the fractures, producing banding we see in agates. The ‘chemical soup’ The variances in band thickness, coloring and make up resulted from varying climactic and geological conditions at the time of their formation, as well as the chemical components of each flow. Highly important in the agate’s uniqueness was the presence of those trace amounts of iron within the chemical soup that filled the cavities. As the North American rift ended, hardened lava flows deteriorated chemically and were eroded over time by the same forces that continue to cause erosion today. The hard and resilient quartz-constructed agates remained mostly intact. Finally, about two million years ago during The Great Ice Age, at a time when much of North America was covered in glacial ice, its southward drive

l d and d ttransported t d released the Lake Superior Agate to their present land locations and into rivers and streams which move stones yet today. This exposure to the oxygenated atmosphere caused rusting of their iron content and finished the unusual pigmentations. Glacial lakes As glaciers receded north, melt water filled the basin formerly cut out by its southern movement and formed a glacial lake, Glacial Lake Duluth, the parent to Lake Superior. The agates came first, not The Big Lake, as one might deduce from their name. One need not travel to Lake Superior’s shores to find them. They are present throughout the St. Croix corridor and our region. The storms and subsequent waterway breeches in northwestern Wisconsin last fall stirred up many a previously hidden rock - among them, our gems. Earth’s processes and

Teach, play, live: Storm Softball Tina Karsten takes the reigns as head coach of Siren/Webster co-op softball team BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL EDITOR
SIREN — A coach who explains why she asks her players to do something is an experience that many athletes may envy. Tina Karsten, the new head coach of the Storm softball team, is hoping that her affinity for teaching will help her players to succeed – in more ways than just winning games. Storm softball is a co-op made up of Webster and Siren schools and has programs starting at the third grade level through high school. Karsten has been teaching fourth grade at Siren Elementary for the past nine years and has served as assistant coach to the Storm softball club for six years. She accepted the head coach position in November. “Taking the step to being a head coach is a goal that I’ve had for a longtime,” she said. Karsten is bringing more than 15 years of coaching experience to the Storm. She began coaching youth sports as a high school student in Menomonie. Karsten and her assistant coach, Hayley Buchanan, a physical education teacher at Webster Elementary, have already discussed with their team that academics are vital to their success as a group. “If you are not academically eligible; you’re hurting your team,” said Karsten. Along with stressing the importance of academics, Karsten hopes to focus on the fundamentals of the game, as the Storm is a young team this season with only two experienced senior players — whom she hopes will assist in guiding the team. Chemistry is also a focal point of her mission as the girls are a combination of the two high schools. “Being called the Storm shows we are united as one team,” said Karsten. She hopes to gain the attention of sports fans in both Siren and Webster as the team claims two home fields, Siren Ballpark and the Fairgrounds Field in Webster. The Storm will play four games on each field and also travel as far as Gilman and Ladysmith. And, of course, having fun is on Karsten’s agenda, “Have fun but at the same time, be competitive,” she said.
SEAN DEVLIN | SENTINEL
Former assistant coach Tina Karsten will take over as head coach for the Storm softball team this season.
As the new head coach, Karsten plans on boosting the camaraderie between her players by organizing, and sometimes hosting, team meals. She also hopes to take her players to a college game to show them their sport at the next level. However, what Karsten is more concerned about, rather than the game itself, are the life lessons the girls will gain throughout their time with the Storm.
When each young woman is finished with their time as Storm players, Karsten hopes, “they continue on with whatever suits them best. That they make good choices and use the lessons we teach them in their daily lives.” She continued, “We are both (Karsten, Buchanan) the type who explain why. There is a why for everything you do. After high school, I hope they think this: Why am I doing this?” As with every sports team, winning is important. However, Karsten’s philosophy suggests that statistical success will follow if, as a group, they focus on the fundamentals of the game and take the time to grow as a team. Karsten is also of the mind that her players should involve themselves in more activities outside of softball to gain a broader perspective. “It’s good for them to work with different teams and people,” she added. The Storm boasts a 22-girl roster this year, an impressive jump from the previous season’s number of 12. Karsten reported that the Storm is set to play in two junior varsity tournaments and will possibly compete against other JV squads in addition to their already verified varsity schedule. Karsten hopes to be a positive figure in the lives of her players and students as she had several monumental role models in her life. To be specific, her kindergarten teacher who, by her willingness to help and a kind personality, inspired Karsten to become a teacher. She says her happiest moment of her softball career is somewhat of a mosaic of every time she sees the excitement on her girls’ faces when they are successful. Karsten pitched and played first base for her high school team in Menomonie and earned her degree in Elementary Education at the University of WisconsinRiver Falls. She is married to Ryan Karsten, who is the Siren Athletic Director, 6-8th grade math teacher, football and girl’s basketball head coach. They have two children; son, ConLee (3); and daughter, Rodi (3 months). The ladies look forward to taking the mound against Hayward at 5 p.m Thursday, April 6 at the Fairgrounds Field in Webster.
Grantsburg tracksters open 2017 campaign MENOMONIE—The Grantsburg High School track teams began their new season at the UW-Stout Invitational Meet at Menomonie on Saturday. “This was a great meet for us,” related Coach Kim Hallberg. “We have a lot of new faces this year who have been nervous about competing. Everyone competed in something and got through their event. “ Coach Brad Nelson states, “This was a good meet for us. It’s the first of the season and indoor, so we see it as a learning experience. “New athletes get to figure things out and experienced athletes get back in the groove of their events. “We don’t necessarily go with the mindset of ‘winning,’ but rather focus on learning and getting ready for the outdoor meets. It’s also nice to go up against
some bigger schools and some that we don’t see the rest of the year. It’s a good learning process,” he concluded. For the girls, Grantsburg placed sixth among the 26 schools participating. Ahead of them were Byron, St. Croix Falls, Arcadia, Shell Lake and Fall Creek. Linda Harmon was fifth in the 55 meter dash (:09.04). Gracie Gerber was second in the 800 meter run (2:38.84). In the 1600 meter run, Hallie Jensen (5:57.38) and Brittanie Blume (6:00.06) were fourth and ninth respectively. Hallie was also second in the 3200 meter run (12:51.42). The 4 x 400 meter relay team was fourth (4:44.44). Gerber placed twelfth in the triple jump (29-3).
On the boys side, Kyle Fagnan was eighth in the 55 meter dash (:07.08). David MacKean ran to an eleventh placement in the 800 meter run (2:18.57). The 4x400 relay team placed fourteenth at 4:06.55. John Chenal was the only first-place finisher for the boys with a high jump of 6-0. Nate McKinley’s long jump of 18-3 1/2 put him in seventh place. “The kids who competed last year have been very helpful as our team is bigger this year,” praised Coach Hallberg. “With so many new athletes, it is great to see those kids emerge as leaders. “We have a lot to work on, but we are excited for this season,” concluded the coach.

BY RHONDA WHITENACK AND JIM CZECHOWICZ ST. PAUL SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE
April is Financial Literacy Month, and there’s no better time than right now to save for your future. The earlier you start saving, the more you can take advantage of compound interest — that’s like “free money” to power up your 401ks and other types of IRAs. Social Security helps secure your future, but it should only be a foundation for a more complete retirement plan. Part of financial literacy is having access to not just correct information, but your own personal financial information. Social Security has that. You can open your own personal my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount and within a matter of minutes have access to your information from the comfort of your home or office. There, you can do many things, but the most important thing is to view your Social Security Statement. Your Social Security Statement is a concise, easy to read personal record of the earnings on which you have paid Social Security taxes and a summary of the estimated benefits you and your family could receive, including potential retirement, disability, and survivors benefits. Once you have an account, you can view
your Statement at any time. You’ll want to verify that your recorded earnings are correct because your future benefits are based on your recorded earnings. In addition to using your personal my Social Security account, you can also prepare for a secure, comfortable retirement by visiting www.myra.gov. There, you’ll find myRA, a new retirement savings option from the Department of the Treasury for the millions of Americans who face barriers to saving for retirement. MyRA is a simple, secure, and affordable way to help you take control of your future. It’s free and you have zero risk of losing money. We also offer the online Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator that provides immediate and personalized benefit estimates based on your earnings record. And, best of all, the Retirement Estimator is an interactive tool that allows you to compare different retirement options like future earnings and different retirement ages. One sure way to stay on top of your financial future is to join the more than 28 million people who have opened their own “my Social Security” account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. The sooner you start planning for retirement, the better off you will be.
Elder financial abuse is on the rise WASHINGTON — Incidents of elder abuse are increasing at an alarming rate across the nation, according to the U.S. Justice Department and other authoritative private and public agencies. Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens, says the financial exploitation of seniors is a “particularly insidious form of senior abuse but that victims seem loathe to report such crimes. Perhaps it is because the perpetrators can often be their caregivers, including family members. In fact, while one in 20 seniors reports being a victim of crime to the authorities, there is significant evidence that many more seniors are targets. The Justice Department points out that only one in 23 elderly victims of abuse is apt to file a complaint.” He cites a report by the National Center on Elder Abuse that concluded: “The elderly may be reluctant to report abuse themselves because of fear of retaliation, lack of physical and/or cognitive ability to report, or because they do not want to get the abuser in trouble.” The financial services firm, True Link Financial, says its research indicates that seniors lose some $36.5 billion a year due to financial exploitation by individuals whom they trusted with their care.
“That’s a startling amount of money, but it is not only a financial loss victims face. Many of them become morosely depressed; they can become even more dependent than they were to begin with; and it can have negative consequences on their physical and mental health,” Weber points out. So, what can be done when financial exploitation of an older family member or friend is discovered? It should be reported to law enforcement officials. An immediate intervention may be called for. Seek help from organizations and agencies that deal with such matters, including eldercare.gov, the National Adult Protective Services Association and local Adult Protective Services programs.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia and since 2000, deaths from Alzheimer’s disease has increase by 89 percent. More than 70 percent of individuals with dementia
are living in the community and only about 20 percent reside in nursing homes facilities. Additionally, more than 15 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. In 2016, those caregivers provided an estimated 18.2 billion hours of care, valued at over $230 billion. This event is free and open to all – community members, community leaders, church leaders, business owners, individuals with dementia, family caregivers, professionals who work with individuals with dementia and anyone else who wants to help create inclusive and dementia friendly communities. Lunch will be served. Please RSVP to Carrie Myers at the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin at 877-485-2372. Be a part of the conversation and solution!

What’s the best time to start receiving Social Security benefits? BY RHONDA WHITENACK AND JIM CZECHOWICZ ST. PAUL MN SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE
Enjoying a comfortable retirement is everyone’s dream. For more than 80 years, Social Security has been helping people realize those dreams, assisting people through life’s journey with a variety of benefits. It’s up to you as to when you can start retirement benefits. You could start them a little earlier or wait until your “full retirement age.” There are benefits to either decision, pun intended. Full retirement age refers to the age when a person can receive their Social Security benefits without any reduction, even if they are still working part or full time. In other words, you don’t actually need to stop working to get your full benefits. For people who attain age 62 in 2017 (i.e., those born between January 2, 1955 and January 1, 1956), full retirement age is 66 and two months. Full retirement age was age 65 for many years. However, due to a law passed by Congress in 1983, it has been gradually increasing, beginning with people born in 1938 or later, until it reaches 67 for people born after 1959. You can learn more about the full retirement age and find out how to look up your own at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/retire/retirechart.html. You can start receiving Social Security benefits as early as age 62 or any time after that. The longer you wait, the higher your monthly benefit will be, although it stops increasing at age 70. Your monthly benefits will be reduced permanently if you start them any time before your full retirement age. For example, if you start receiving benefits in 2017 at age 62, your monthly benefit amount will be reduced permanently by about 26
percent. On the other hand, if you wait to start receiving your benefits until after your full retirement age, then your monthly benefit will be higher. The amount of this increase is two-thirds of one percent for each month –– or eight percent for each year –– that you delay receiving them until you reach age 70. The choices you make may affect any benefit your spouse or children can receive on your record, too. If you receive benefits early, it may reduce their potential benefit, as well as yours. You need to be as informed as possible when making any decision about receiving Social Security benefits. Read the publication When to Start Receiving Retirement Benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-0510147.pdf. If you decide to receive benefits before you reach full retirement age, you should also understand how continuing to work can affect your benefits. Social Security may withhold or reduce your benefits if your annual earnings exceed a certain amount. However, for every month benefits are withheld, it increases your future benefits. That’s because at your full retirement age Social Security will recalculate your benefit amount to give you credit for the months in which benefits were reduced or withheld due to your excess earnings. In effect, it’s as if you hadn’t filed for those months. You can learn more atwww.socialsecurity.gov/planners/ retire/whileworking.html. Social Security’s mission is to secure your today and tomorrow. Helping you make the right retirement decisions is vital. You can learn more by visiting our Retirement Planner at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/retire.

As tax day approaches, get benefit statements online BY RHONDA WHITENACK AND JIM CZECHOWICZ ST. PAUL SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE
Social Security is with you through life’s journey, putting you in control of your finances and future. With this in mind, we have made getting a replacement Social Security Benefit Statement even easier. Now you can instantly print or save a replacement any time you want. That’s control. The Benefit Statement, also known as the SSA-1099 or the SSA-1042S, is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January to people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year so you know how much Social Security income to report to the IRS on your tax return. An SSA-1042S is for a non-citizen who lives outside the United States and received or repaid Social Security benefits last year.
If you currently live in the United States and you need a replacement form SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S, simply go online and get an instant, printable replacement form with a my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. If you already have a my Social Security account, you can access your online account to view and print your SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S. If you don’t have a my Social Security account, creating a secure account is very easy to do and usually takes less than 15 minutes. Keep in mind, your Social Security benefits may be taxable. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/taxes.html if you have other substantial income.

Retired women are more prone to financial crisis BY JEANNETTE BAJALIA, WRITER WOMENSWORTH.COM
Men and women both face obstacles and challenges in planning for retirement, but women often travel a thornier path. “In most cases, women have earned less than men over the years,” says Jeannette Bajalia, a retirement-income planner, president of Woman’s Worth® (www.womans-worth.com) and author of Retirement Done Right and Wi$e Up Women. “They also often have stepped out of the workforce for several years for care-giving roles, whether to raise children or care for aging parents.” Those years out of the workforce can mean fewer years contributing to a company 401(k) account and also can affect Social Security earnings potential. Perhaps that’s why women feel less assured about how well they will fare in retirement than men. Just 55 percent of women are confident their retirement will be comfortable compared to 68 percent of men, according to an annual survey by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. Bajalia says three things can cause women to plunge even further into financial difficulties after they reach retirement. • Longevity. People live longer these days and women on average outlive men. That’s the good news. It’s also the bad news, Bajalia says, because many women are unprepared financially for a retirement that could stretch into two, three or even four decades. “Even if a woman has substantial savings, if you want to hold onto your wealth you need to hold onto your health,” she says. “So you need to build into your retirement planning the cost of health care, and not just routine and preventive care, but long-term care. And the cost of long-term care is skyrocketing.” • Widowhood. Because women live longer than men, the odds are that most married women will reach a day when they become widows. Beyond the emotional turmoil that can create, there’s also financial turmoil. If both are drawing Social Security, one of those checks is going away. If the husband had a pension, that check could also disappear or be reduced. Often, the husband handled the finances. The wife might not even have known about all the investments or where documents are stored. That’s why it’s important for a couple to Jeannette Bajalia take the time to review their asPresident of Woman’s Worth sets together so that both have a good understanding of what’s there and what’s needed for a secure retirement. • Divorce. Just like widowhood, divorce can cause a sudden drop in financial stability for older women. “When you’re in your 30s or early 40s, you have time to overcome some of the difficulties a divorce creates, but when you’re older that becomes more challenging,” Bajalia says. “I encourage women in this situation to get a ‘financial physical’ before a divorce is finalized to ensure they are protected with the strategies they need, and that those are included in the divorce decree.” Despite that dreary outlook, Bajalia say there is reason for optimism – but it takes planning and finding a retirement planner who can help you with more than the money aspect of retirement. “For women, it’s not just about the money, it’s about total well being,” she says. Ideally, you need a team of experts in estate planning, tax planning, financial planning and health care planning. “All of us would like to age with grace, dignity and respect,” she says. “To do that, you need to make sure you have the tools in place at an emotional, physical, spiritual and financial level.”
‘For women, it’s not just about the money, it’s about total well-being.’

Bible verses to read when you are stressed
Pastor Scott Sagle Calvary Covenant Church
Here is the second half of my list of scriptures to read when you are stressed. Read these words and allow their truth to bring peace to your soul. Matthew 11:28-30, 28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.â&#x20AC;? Psalm 37:5, Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this: Philippians 4:6-7, 6. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by
prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:28, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 7. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9. persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but

HERTEL— The new St. Croix Casino Hertel Express is scheduled to open Monday, May 1, according to Keith O’Brien, Owners Representative and Board Chairman for St. Croix Economic Development Corporation. An Outdoor Amphitheater is opening Memorial Day weekend and the R/V park opens mid-June, he said. Ribbon cutting ceremonies will take place on-site at 10 a.m. Monday, May 1. The public is invited.
The new casino is located just east of the current “Little Hertel Turtle Express” on State Highway 70, two miles west of Hertel. The St. Croix Casino Hertel Express will include 50 seats of sitdown menu dining, a gas station, a convenience store and a cigar shop with drive-up window and walk-in humidor. The recreational vehicle park will feature drive-thru sites including electric power, fire ring, picnic tables and wi-fi hook-ups as well as registration/clubhouse that includes a lounge with games, sitting area, and
toilets with shower facilities. An adjoining outdoor amphitheater will accommodate 850 guests on seats with additional seating on a grassy hillside. The casino complex will also offer a diesel fuel fill area and additional truck parking. Truckers will enjoy a full-service suite providing a lounge-type seating area, wi-fi, private toilets with showers and free laundry facilities. Groundbreaking took place in September and the construction site has been busy throughout the fall and winter.
