Convincing ‘accident’ shocks students BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL

SEAN DEVLIN | SENTINEL

SIREN—“If you’re drunk, you flunk,” was a phrase used many times on April 19 at Siren High School. The high school alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) club, with the help of multiple Siren service operations, put on a mock car crash and trial with the intention of delivering the message of the dangers and consequences of unsafe driving behaviors with an emphasis on improper use of alcohol, and timed before Siren Prom (April 29) and graduation (May 19). The mock crash used real wrecked vehicles. The demonstration was set up in front of the high school and situated as if a t-bone accident occurred. It was intense, emotional and, to the credit of the students and professionals involved, very convincing. “This could happen to anybody: high school or not. Siren got to watch kids they know and I think it hit them hard,” said Jade Hortsman, who acted as the

County woman charged with two counts of child sex crime BURNETT COUNTY — Violet Star Reynolds of various Burnett County addresses is charged with two counts of a Class B felony: first degree sexual assault of a child under the age of 12. Each count holds a minimum of 25 years in prison with a maximum of 60 years. According to the criminal complaint, the incident dates back to about Nov. 14, 2014 in Webster. The victim, at the time a boy of 11, was spending the night at a friend’s family home where Reynolds was also staying. Reynolds, 34 at the time, is reported to have entered the boy’s bed and, according to the criminal complaint, threatened the boy and forced him to have sex with her. It is reported that Reynolds told multiple people about her activities that night. The victim’s grandmother, his legal guardian, is reported as having

heard of the lewd events and took the victim to the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department on Nov. 18, 2014. The jury trial on the sexual assault charges is scheduled for May 17-19 in Burnett County Circuit Court.

Fatal crash Monday in Polk County CUSHING — Aaron J. Thompson, 27, rural Milltown was killed in a single-vehicle accident Monday morning on 220th Street/CTH Z near 240th Avenue in rural Cushing. On Monday, April 24, the Polk County Dispatch Center received a 911 call reporting a two-vehicle crash. Ambulances and deputies were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, it was determined that only one vehicle was involved. The involved vehicle, a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer, was northbound on CTH Z/220th Street. As the vehicle passed 240th Avenue, the vehicle left the roadway on the west side of the road and struck a driveway, causing the vehicle to go airborne and then roll upon landing. While airborne, the vehicle struck trees and a power pole. It came to rest in a cornfield on the west side of the road with extensive damage to all areas of the vehicle. The rescue attempt was complicated by the vehicle being entangled with power lines. The lone occupant driver was reported deceased at the scene. This crash is the third fatal crash in Polk County in 2017, resulting in four deaths. The crash and death remain under investigation by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Medical Examiner’s Office. Assisting at the scene were Cushing Fire Department, Luck Police Department, St. Croix Valley EMS/Lakes Area Ambulance Service and Northwest Electric and Polk-Burnett Electric who assisted at the scene after being flagged down.

Luckily, no injuries were reported and the driver of the vehicle was able to still operate the car.

GRANTSBURG —The kerfuffle over the wrong population number on the Grantsburg highway signs is history. Burnett County Highway Department crew members Doug Pederson and Mike Hopp arrived at noon Tuesday with reflective green-number decals that matched the new sign perfectly. They expertly applied the decals to cover the erroneous “590” population number and restored the “1,341” that residents have become accustomed to seeing since the sign went up after the 2010 U.S. Census was completed. The quick fix ended the speculation about how long the repair would take. The original DOT plan was to create an entire new sign, which was expected to take at least six weeks, plus two-three more weeks for transportation and installation. Apparently, at a DOT office someone said, “Hey, we have these reflective green number decals that match the sign. Let’s just use these.” Voila! The two-month wait became a nine-day fix. The error was reported on April 17 and was fixed by April 25. Nice work, highway people at

the DOT and county. How did the error occur in the first place? And, why did the DOT remove the first sign if the population didn’t change? According to Burnett County Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs, “Road signs are commonly fabricated by inmates in various prisons around the state as a cost-saving measure. “The Grantsburg signs came from one of these arrangements.” Most likely, someone goofed and someone else

didn’t catch it. The previous Grantsburg population sign was replaced because others of the same age had already failed the DOT’s “light reflectivity test.” When a few fail, they know others of the same age will need replacement soon, too. Grantsburg residents can most likely plan to see the “Population 1341” in place for at least three years, until the 2020 Census in complete.

STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

The Grantsburg population signs along St. Rd 70 on both edges of the village were repaired Tuesday to accurately relect the 2010’s U.S. Census count of 1,341 residents. Decals were placed over the incorrect “590” population.

Locations include A&H Senior Center, Grantsburg Village Hall, Burnett County Sheriff’s Department and the St. Croix Tribal Police Department.

Magic is real BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL

I’ll start by saying this... I think interests are fascinating because each one rarely has a foundation; we just like something because, well, we just do. I was in Toronto last weekend partaking in a charity hockey tournament with my father. It is an annual tournament, and I’ve played in four. This year was particularly interesting (and lung wrenching) because I had not been on the ice in two years—my longest absence since the age of four. My father and I enjoyed some overdue father-son time, and I paraded around the city with my sister, Shayna and her fiancé, Garey. And, it doesn’t seem to matter what part of the world I am in; one of my new favorite hobbies is walking. (Am I just getting older?) During a mid-afternoon stroll, our little group stopped in at bar called Sentinel The Lockhart. I think to many it is obvious that I am a bookworm. Editor (Let’s think of a new term for book Sean Devlin enthusiasts; how does a worm thumb the pages?) So, it is no surprise that this bar had an immediate supporter walking through the front door. For those of you who did not read Harry Potter (I only impart a small amount of judgment your way) Gilderoy Lockhart is the name of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. While it is an unofficial Potter bar, this establishment transported me from muggle Canada to the Three Broomsticks and, of course, I ordered the bar’s version of Butterbeer...The Lockhart calls it Betterbeer. A golden butterscotch, marshmellow (a smidge of tequila) beverage topped with whipped cream left me quite content. My sister and future brother-inlaw ordered The Befuddlement, a turquoise beverage that was brought to the table in a miniature cauldron, oh, and it was on fire. The walls were lined with thin time-beaten shelves stocked with jars of, well, potions. Cobwebs and an array of droopy plants were tastefully arranged throughout this tavern and lining the walls of the staircase leading to the bathrooms were the pages of a generation’s most coveted love, Harry Potter. However, what I want to share is my wonder and admiration for the dedication to a person’s interest, their love that The Lockhart represents. Some may be cynical and claim that it was a genius business idea, knowing full well that a Harry Potter bar in a massive city would be a goldmine. While it’s true...I’d say to own a place like this, to be surrounded by Potter fanatics and to live each day in a “fictional” world, one must love it, wanting to be around their interests because it makes them happy. It is soothing to be reminded that our interests, whatever they may be, have a big place in our lives. A place best not to be ignored. You know where to reach me. By phone, 715- 4632341.

Cash me out BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

I had new experience a couple of weeks ago: my debit card was compromised, or as the popular vernacular goes, “hacked.” Sometime between picking up a prescription on the way home from work and paying for dinner, my bank detected something was amiss and put a hold on my card, declining all transactions. This was more than a bit disconcerting when I paid for dinner, since I From the Publisher’s don’t carry much cash. I used a credit card and went to the bank’s automatDesk ed teller machine (ATM) to verify the balance in our checking account. We Tom Stangl had more than enough funds in the account to cover dinner. When we arrived home, there was a message on our answering machine asking me to call a fraud prevention center. Even though the automated message provided a case number, I was a bit wary of calling after my recent experiences. The recording said there was a message for “Thomasie” from my bank, “error 4196” concerning recent activity on my card. I called and hesitantly provided information to verify my identity. The person I spoke with recounted every transaction that occurred over the past two hours, including the attempted purchase of items at a gas station in Miami, Fla. The attempted purchase in Miami was declined, and I didn’t lose any money. A new card is being issued, and my wife and I are dealing with the role reversal of her paying for everything.

not pay for purchases. This experience made me wonder about the move to a “cashless” society that has been discussed for twenty years. Instead of using cash, some propose using debit or credit cards, smartphones and electronic transfers to pay for purchases. It’s not a new concept, people have been paying for life insurance premiums and other monthly charges by automatic withdrawals for decades. I knew some people who closed bank accounts to cancel life insurance automatic payments or to escape from America Online recurring charges (remember AOL?). In doing some research for this column, I learned that where people stand on this issue depends a great deal on their age and economic status. I read an article from the New Yorker magazine that quoted Kenneth S. Rogoff, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, who makes a case that cash should be phased out, starting with $100 bills. It’s estimated that 80 percent of the value of our nation’s currency is in $100 bills, which don’t show up eight out of ten times in real life. Rogoff argues that the “underground economy” could be severely hampered, if not destroyed, by eliminating large bills. $10,000 in $100 bills fits nicely in an envelope. You would need a suitcase to carry the same amount in $10 bills. Others argue that the entire electronic currency system has vulnerabilities and may be compromised, like what nearly happened to me. Slightly less than half of transactions in the USA are handled with cash, so the trend is headed in the direction of a cashless society. Until my card was hacked, I was comfortable with being “cashless.” Since it happened, I have more doubts.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR NEA funding supports Burnett County arts

To the Editor: How wonderful that people around our nation marched in support of science last Saturday! Now I wish they’d do the same thing for the arts and creativity. At the basis of scientific research is creative “what if” thinking. Creativity is America’s greatest resource. It cannot be outsourced. It must be encouraged, nurtured and funded. Creativity is among the top five applied skills sought by business leaders, with 72 percent saying creativity is of high importance when hiring. Unfortunately, in the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY) budget cycle, there is discussion about eliminating funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The funding for all three of those organizations comprise .009 percent of the federal budget The NEA’s FY 2016 budget was $124 million. Of that, 84 percent went out in grants to regional and state arts organizations. In FY 2016, The Wisconsin Arts Board (Wis Dept. of Tourism) received $795,700 from the NEA and awarded 228 grants throughout the state. The NEA funds are 50 percent of its budget. The arts and culture sector is a $730 billion industry, representing 4.2 percent of the nation’s Gross National Product (GNP), a larger share of the economy than transportation, tourism and agriculture. The non-profit arts industry alone generates $135 billion annually, which supports 4.1 million jobs and generates $22.3 billion in government revenue. The arts are part of military morale programs. Service members and veterans rank art therapies in the top four of 40 interventions and treatments. Let’s bring that home to Burnett County and tourism. In 2009-10, we were the beneficiaries of two grants for major arts events. Arts travelers stay longer and spend

more to seek out authentic cultural experiences. Arts events attendees from outside the county in which the event takes place spend twice as much as their local counterparts on lodging, food and beverage services and amenities. Rural areas like ours would suffer the most from lack of NEA funding that impacts jobs, wages, programs, quality of life and tourism. I urge you to let your congressional legislators know if you feel strongly about supporting the arts humanities and public broadcasting. Here are some resources: www.artswisconsin.org; www.americansforthearts.org; www. nea.org; www.neh.org: www.cpb.org At the very least, clip this letter from the newspaper and send them a copy with your supporting comments. Harriet E. Rice Webster

Property owner refusing to pay taxes due To the Editor: I am asking for your help in addressing an issue with a property owner in the Siren School District that is refusing to pay their property tax bill in full. The property in question is home to approximately 27 percent of the Siren School District’s student body. The property owner to whom I am referring is the federal government. From 1950-1969, the federal government made its tax payment in full to the school districts, but lately the payments have been threatened to be eliminated altogether. In fiscal year 2014, the federal government owed taxes to the Siren School District totaling $591,832.82. However, due to a formula created by the landowner, the federal government paid only $159,794.86, leaving the local taxpayers to pick up the remaining $432,037.96. To make matters worse, the payments usually arrive 18 months late and require much paperwork. The 27 percent payment is usually only 80 percent of that amount, depending on the funds available. Some have said this is a federal gov-

ernment problem. I say it is a fairness problem imposed on school districts that have property owned by the federal government and on students residing on their property who attend Wisconsin Public Schools. I am asking the Wisconsin Legislature to make adjustments to the School Aid Formula (but not affect other schools) on behalf of the Wisconsin School Districts that are negatively affected by the lack of payment of taxes owed by the federal government, until those taxes are paid in full. This situation is tantamount to a large housing project that is home to many students in which the owner pays only a small percentage of property taxes owed to our public schools. This letter was read to the meeting of the Wisconsin Joint Committee on Finance on April 18, 2017 in Spooner. Mark Pettis, Vice President Siren School District Board

Questions the Jarchow questionnaire didn’t ask To the Editor: State Representative Adam Jarchow recently mailed a questionnaire to his constituents in Assembly District 28. (If you didn’t get one, you can respond online at Legis.wisconsin.gov/assembly/28/jarchow.) It’s interesting to speculate about why certain questions were included and other seemingly obvious ones not. Of Jarchow’s 13 questions, a number appeared designed to elicit support for the representative’s already well-known positions. One might reasonably assume that, in asking about public schools and

the DNR, for example, Jarchow is looking for confirmation that the public agrees with his party’s desire to reduce support for both of those public institutions. Questions about wolf management, taxes and the sanctity of private property provide additional opportunities for constituents to confirm their support on issues about which Jarchow is unlikely to change his mind. I will confess surprise that three of Jarchow’s 13 questions dealt with legalizing marijuana. Hopefully, this signals the representative’s openness to reforming our antiquated drug laws. To me, the most notable aspect of his questionnaire is the questions Jarchow didn’t ask his constituents.

Here are a few suggestions for the next questionnaire: 1) Are you prospering under the Walker administration’s economic policies? 2) Do you have health insurance you can afford? 3) Would you like to see Wisconsin do a better job of protecting our water resources? 4) If you’ve had any interaction with my office, was it positive or negative? 5) How are your roads? Should the state borrow money for road maintenance or raise the gas tax? 6) Do you support or oppose the idea of taxpayer dollars going to private schools? 7) Should hunting dogs be allowed to run freely on private property without the owner’s express permission?

STROLL THROUGH THE PAST by Eunice Kanne THE END OF AN ERA

OLE BRANSTAD VS VS. A BULL

On September 10, 1912, a crew of drivers was sent to Nevers Dam on the upper St. Croix River to break a log jam estimated to contain 10 million board feet of lumber. Another crew from the St. Croix Dam and Boom Company was sent to Taylors Falls to keep the logs moving after being sluiced and run over the big electric power dam there. That is expected to be the final drive of logs on the St. Croix River, as no logs will be put into the river or its tributaries hereafter. It is the intention to begin improving the upper St. Croix next year so pleasure boats can operate more regularly. Journal of Burnett County, Oct. 14, 1912

County Treasurer Ole Branstad had an exciting time with a vicious bull out on his farm Tuesday morning. He probably owes his life to the fact the bull had been dehorned. As it was, the brute played football, or rather headball, with Ole at a lively rate until someone came to his aid with a pitchfork. Ole said he has not had such a challenge since 15 years ago, when he entertained a bear until another fellow came around with a gun. Burnett County Sentinel, July 28, 1898

Burnett Co. Board of Supervisors: drugs, taxes and ATV routes BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL

BURNETT COUNTY— The April 18 Burnett County Board of Supervisors meeting covered quite a long list of topics. Multiple presentations were held, the first of which was lead by Sheriff Ron Wilhelm and his department. The Sheriff – like in his column two weeks ago – stressed the importance of community and department unity in the fight against methamphetmine and other drugs in Burnett County. The cases involving methamphetamine have escalated each year since 2011. There have been 22 cases so far in 2017. The Sheriff continued to detail the duties of the three detectives at his side and eventually stated, regarding their workload, “There is not enough time in the day.” Detective Mead, for example, deals with both property crime and narcotics while serving as evidence technician. The Sheriff asked, “How do we follow up on our drug problem?” His answer was, “It’s almost impossible to do that.” The presentation lead to the department asking consideration for the county to hire an individual to join the Sheriff’s Department as a narcotics investigator. According to the Sheriff, some of this individual’s duties would include following up on past cases, developing informants and working in conjunction with neighboring counties to share ideas and methods of combating the abuse of drugs in the state. This was solely a presentation. Jane Severt, executive director of the Wisconsin County Forest Association (WCFA), was present at the meeting to comment on the growth and benefits of county forests in Wisconsin. Severt explained that 29 counties in the state of Wisconsin can lay claim to county forest which total 2.39

million acres. In response to a question regarding the status of Wisconsin’s Forestry Mill Tax following her presentation, Severt offered the following: “The Governor ran on a platform to reduce property taxes. Forestry mill tax is the only state property tax that people pay. When the Governor gave his budget address he was able to say, “For the first time since 1934, there will be no state property tax.” Severt explained that the numbers break down to approximately $27 per household and now that funding source is gone. “He’s replaced it with general purpose revenue (GPR) funding,” she said. She added, “It’s an issue. But, we are not saying we must save the forestry mill tax. We do believe we need a segregated, secure source of funding for forestry in Wisconsin.” In others news: A discussion regarding ATV route policy was held in which it was made clear that an individual or group who propose an ATV route shall not have a fee to submit an application. If approved, the requester will be required to pay for the signs along the route. At that point on, the county takes responsibility for maintenance of the route and (if required) replacement of the signs as the route is considered a county route. In other ATV news, a request to establish an ATV route extending from Elbow Road to Silver Lake Road, a 1/4 mile stretch, was motioned and approved. The new route will connect the town of Wood River and Daniels. The motion carried and was approved for Barb Lyga to serve a five-year term on the Burnett County Housing Authority; the term will expire in April 2020. The motion carried and was approved for Chuck Anderson to serve a one-year term on the Siren Tourism Commission; the term will expire in April 2018. SEE IN PLAIN SIGHT, PAGE 16

Rolloff declines village board post BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Former Village President Glenn Rolloff has withdrawn his name from consideration for appointment as trustee to the Grantsburg Village Board. Rolloff stepped down as village president for the April 4 election but ran instead for a trustee position. He finished last among four candidates for three trustee positions. In a twist that is legal but unusual, Larry Ebersold won both his trustee and village president races. Ebersold accepted the village president position and said he planned to appoint Rolloff to the open trustee seat. After giving the trustee appointment some thought for a few weeks, Rolloff declined last week and turned in his village keys, iPad and other accoutrements of office and called it quits. Rolloff said he decided to make a “clean sweep” since he also plans to retire soon from his position at Parker Hannifin. “I’ve got a camper and I’m looking forward to my first trip to Yellowstone. I’ve been leading a hectic life for the past 10 years. I mean it when I say I plan to spend more time with Julie and my grandkids. I will be available to help Larry if he asks for it. It’s been an honor to serve the residents of Grantsburg on their village board.” Rolloff served from 2008-13 as a trustee and from 2013-17 as village president. Ebersold said he has other candidates in mind but will not make a formal announcement at this time. The next village board meeting is at 6 p.m. Monday, May 8. Ebersold, Goob Coy and Diane Barton will be sworn in for two-year terms, and perhaps another trustee as well if Ebersold’s appointment is approved by the full board.

GOVERNMENT CENTER—Telling the court she has lost faith in her private defense attorney’s ability to defend her, a Webster woman accused of embezzling church funds asked permission to talk to the public defender’s office about representing her at trial which is set to begin next Tuesday, May 2. Michelle Blake appeared in Burnett County District Court last Wednesday morning, April 19, with her attorney, Scott Schlough in front of Acting Circuit Court Judge Ken Kutz. Blake told Judge Kutz that Slough “wants the case to be over as quick as possible” and has urged her to accept a plea agreement that the county prosecutor first offered in October 2016. Blake said attorney Schlough advised her in October 2016 not to accept the prosecutor’s plea offer, but he says now she should accept it. “He doesn’t feel he can go to trial and win, and he doesn’t think another attorney can win either, but I don’t believe that,” she said. Schlough agreed with Blake’s assessment and told the judge that since last fall he has had more time to review the evidence against Blake and he now recommends to Blake to accept the plea agreement. In response to the judge’s question, Schlough said that if required to do so by the court, he was prepared to defend Blake at trial next week. After about a half hour of discussion

and deliberation, Judge Kutz left the May 2-3-4 trial dates in placed but granted Ms. Blake’s request to talk to any other attornies or to the public defender’s office. Judge Kutz continued that if an attorney comes back to the court and states there is a legitmate defense to the case, then at that point he would grant a request for continuance. But, if the attorney tells the court that he/she feels the advice that her present attorney is giving her is sound, Kutz told SEE BLAKE, PAGE 8

Burnett K-9 ‘Tracker’ training continues SIREN—Burnett County Sheriff Deputy Mitch Olson and the department’s new K-9 Officer “Tracker” are about midway through the training that has been underway for the past month. Deputy Olson says he and Tracker have been working together on Tracker’s training for apprehension (bite work), building and article searches, obedience and tracking methods. “Tracker is doing very well and is living up to his name!” Olson said.

The 5 training phases in tracking

Tracker and K-9 officers will need to complete and pass five phases of training in tracking before going on active duty. Deputy Olson describes what Tracker learns in each training phase: Phase I: Tracker is worked in a harness attached to a 20-30 foot lead. I put the harness on him just as our team (handler and dog) get ready to work. This way Tracker associates the harness with tracking and is more focused to start working. To start training Tracker for tracking, we begin by having a familiar subject drop a scent article and make a scent pad, then walk 10-20 feet away, layMitch Olson ing food treats in each step. Burnett County Sheriff Deputy The subject then hides in an easily detected location. I show the scent pad and scent article to Tracker, then I give a command such as “find” or “search.” Tracker

follows the scent and the treats to the subject and is given enthusiastic praise and a reward such as more treats or a favorite toy. We continue these short searches using fewer treats each time. We also use different terrain, such as fields, yards, parks and lightly wooded areas, but with no heavy vegetation or concrete surfaces in this phase. Phase II: We continue using the scent article, scent pad and a few treats (every 5-10 steps), but we increase the length of the search. These short searches should always be in a straight line. As Tracker starts getting the idea of the search, I prevent him from seeing the victim hide. We add more variety to the locations used, and even use some with heavy vegetation. Phase III: In this phase, we add curves and eventually stop the track treats. As Tracker’s ability increases, we start adding distance and age to the track and continue exposing Tracker to a wide variety of terrains. The use of the scent article is always needed, but the scent pad eventually is phased out as he becomes more accomplished. Phase IV: When Tracker is reliably finding the victim through these phases with no treats and a trail of ten minutes or more, we next use a subject unknown to him. We add variables to the searches as Tracker is able to successfully complete each level. Phase V: Two people are now used: one as the victim and one as a distraction. The subject leaves the scent article and both the subject and the distraction walk away together. At a predetermined distance, the distraction

breaks off and leaves the search area while the victim continues on. Tracker must stay on the subject’s track and locate the subject, even though the distraction turned in another direction. Tracker and I should be able to consistently work trails up to 24 hours old that are 1-2 miles long in all terrains. When we get to this phase, it shows that Tracker is ready to take his tracking certification test.

Thanks for great county support

We really appreciate all of the community support for this invaluable Police K-9! Please follow Tracker on our Facebook page at “Burnett County Law Enforcement Citizens Auxiliary.”

Oh, the games we can play BY LORI CALLAHAN SENTINEL COLUMNIST

Spring! Warm weather, plant rejuvenation, outdoor activity. It seems everyone looks forward to and welcomes it. With ever-new and increasing personal communication technologies, many people are spending more and more time indoors and often sedentary. Adults set the example as parents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers and more. We are responsible for giving our children a well-rounded education, and it includes entertainment, activity and recreation. Recently, my son and his wife purchased a new home in a southwestern Twin City suburb that includes an indoor gymnasium. While amazing and maybe even necessary for our cold-weather climate, it doesn’t offer the same appeal and additional health benefits an outdoor sporting environment does. While visiting there, my son and his wife left for a time and I stayed with my two grandchildren, ages five and seven. Because they had newly moved in, the yard was littered with sticks and branches, some as large as three inches in diameter, from recent heavy winds. I enlisted the children in building

“tree houses” – more like “lean-tos,” really – erecting the largest branches angled vertically against trees and the smaller ones weaved in horizontally. My granddaughter found flat rock that she lined her floor and entry with. My grandson, who initially wanted to go back indoors soon after we came out, had a story for every “family” that lived in the numerous stick houses he built. Not only had the children enjoyed their play and reaped the benefits of the outdoors, but we centralized the yard waste for easy disposal. After a couple hours, it was I who wanted to go in, but heard only loud howls of, “Nooooooo,” from both children. We continued our outdoor adventures until Mom and Dad returned another hour later. By then, the kids had discovered a natural tree swing, investigated every inch of their new surroundings and transplanted some mosses. Simple: sticks, rock, vegetation. The hundreds of toys, indoor bikes and riders, electronic games and devices were no match for the chance to explore and create in the out of doors and share time with an important adult in their lives, one offering seemingly novel ideas. For those regular outdoors people, continue onward and take your children and grandchildren with you. For those, like my son who mostly prefer the indoors, or those not so adventurous, a variety of ready-made or easily made or obtained outdoor games will provide equal entertainment and intergenerational fun. Though teenagers may argue simple childhood games to be boring, most – when their friends are not looking – appreciate family time and enjoyment. All children can learn appropriate competitive behaviors, a plus for those not involved in athletics, and face-toface social interaction.

BLAKE: Seeks new defense attorney CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6

Blake, “then it’s either go to trial or plead.”

Embezzlement charges Blake is accused of embezzling while employed as a two-church secretary/bookkeeper, allegedly taking $42,959 from St. John The Baptist Catholic Church of Webster and $34,904 from Sacred Heart Catholic Church of A&H between October 2010 and September 2013. The probable cause statement accompanying the arrest warrant alledged Blake wrote checks to herself on church accounts and falsified the two churches’ computerized financial records to hide the thefts.

Three-year-old case Blake agreed when Judge Kutz commented that her court matter is already among the oldest active cases on the court’s docket, dating back to January of 2014. Judge Kutz cited five dates between 2015-16 that have been set for Blake’s trial and then postponed. Blake countered that she was not to blame for the delays and that two years went by before a computer seized as evidence was submitted to the crime lab for forensic testing. Although the documentation from crime lab test results has been available to the defense counsel since last fall, Blake said she had not heard from her attorney between last October and last week. Although Schlough remains Blake’s attorney of record, Schlough said he would not object to Blake talking to the public defender’s office about taking over her case. He said he felt a new attorney could reasonably review all the evidence in 2-4 weeks and he recommended the court push the trial date out that far if Blake dismisses him and brings in another attorney.

11th hour Blake added, “I know it is the 11th hour, but I am asking the court for the opportunity to speak to the public defender’s office about my case.” Judge Kutz continued, “I’ve seen my share of defendants who start to get cold feet with a trial date staring them in the face.” He added it is hard to tell sometimes if the defendant has lost faith in their attorney or they just don’t want to hear what their attorney is advising them. “They don’t like hearing bad news.” Judge Kutz said, “Ms. Blake, I understand your concern, but on the other side of the coin, the church has been looking for a resolution to this case for quite a while.” To that comment, Father Michael Tupa, who serves the two churches, nodded silently from his seat a short distance from the prosecutor’s table. Judge Kutz kept the May 2 trial start date in place for now and the court adjourned.

Woodland Chorale in concert Saturday Don’t Worry, Be Happy BY MEGAN SWENSON, CERTIFIED WELLNESS COACH ST. CROIX REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Stress. It’s no surprise stress is a major issue affecting most of the U.S. population. Stress is “a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.” We can all agree that we have some level of stress in our lives. Busy schedules, kids, careers, finances, health concerns and the list goes on. How you handle stress depends on your personality, your past experiences and your current situation. It’s estimated that 75-90 percent of all doctor visits are due to stress-related complaints. • 77 percent of Americans are stressed by at least one thing at work. • 76 percent about money. • 73 percent by family responsibilities. Chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure, lowered infertility, weak immune system, heart problems, stomach problems, weight gain and decreased concentration. Any of these sound familiar? Stressors hit people in different ways so there is no single solution, but there are many ways to manage it: • 48 percent of adults exercise/walk to manage stress. • Schedule “me” time. 31 percent relax with a hobby, 35 percent play video games, 49 percent listen to music. • Laugh it off. “If stress burned calories, I’d be a supermodel!” • Children laugh 300 times per day. Adults chuckle 15 times per day. • Organize. A cluttered environment can affect your mood and productivity. Get the family to help! • Take charge. Feeling out of control is a top stressor. Focus on what you can control and forget about the uncontrollable. • Just breathe. Take a couple deep breaths to calm yourself. Low stress levels can lead to better sleep, more energy, positive mood, healthy immune system, increased productivity and less doctor visits. It’s worth taking the time to walk, de-clutter, organize and LAUGH! ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

FREDERIC—Saturday night, April 29, marks the seventh annual Woodland Chorale spring concert at the Frederic High School Performance Center. The concert will be from 7:30 to 9 p.m. with refreshments served during the intermission. Conducted by Dr. Harry Johansen of Luck and accompanied by Christine Johansen, this talented 40-voice ensemble includes singers from throughout Polk and Burnett counties. This year’s program is titled “For the Beauty of the Earth” and includes a mix of secular and sacred music, all related in some way to the wonders of nature. Show

tunes from Candide and Godspell, classical pieces by Haydn and Bach, and more contemporary a cappella songs will combine to make for an enjoyable evening of music. As in previous years, a free-will donation will be accepted at the door with all proceeds donated to area public school music programs. In past years, these donations have enriched student experiences by enabling the purchase of new equipment and music scores, and by helping students with tuition for attending summer music camps.

GRANTSBURG—With a mixture of joy, nervousness and pride, Grantsburg Middle School students displayed their artwork and talents Thursday afternoon at the second annual Fine Arts Festival. Their families, friends, fellow students and teachers acknowledged their efforts with thanks, praise and applause. Pottery, sculptures, prose and poetry filled hallway tables. Student paintings and other art pieces covered hallway walls. Some did original dances set to music. Student musicians performed instrumental and vocal solos and ensembles. The CLC after-school choir sang while families enjoyed a free pizza supper and younger kids got a free facepaint design. In the library, persons and groups provided Reader’s Theatre performances. Guest Artist this year was painter Chrissy Mount Kapp of Luck, whose work includes watercolor and oil paintings of people, animals, unique buildings and events. Her works are based on old family photographs and others she has taken, scenes she discovers or creates for her still life paintings. Many visitors commented on the students’ impressive art talents and performing abilities. Organizers hope to make it an every-April event. Steve Briggs, Sentinel

Don’t put off important healthcare decisions BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM GREATER WISCONSIN AGENCY ON AGING RESOURCES

Today, not tomorrow, is the time for Seniors to draft their advance planning documents and to begin discussions with family members and medical professionals about healthcare wishes. Recommended documents The law on advance care planning documents and authority varies by state. In Wisconsin, practitioners typically recommend the following documents: • Power of Attorney for Finances • Power of Attorney for Healthcare • Living Will • Authorization for Final Disposition (burial & funeral arrangements) With or without attorney Advance planning documents can be executed with or without an attorney. While the basic forms are available online for free, an attorney can provide legal advice and counseling regarding the person’s specific circumstances. It is important that the documents are signed in front of two unrelated witnesses, ideally one of those witnesses being a notary public. The Power of Attorney for Finances document is granted certain protections under the law if it is notarized. Powers of Attorney document Powers of Attorney provide authority for someone to make financial and healthcare decisions for another person. Unlike other states, Wisconsin is not a “next of kin” state, meaning that family members do not have the ability to make healthcare decisions on behalf of another person just by virtue of being a relative. Wisconsin law requires that the person be granted specific authority to do so – either authority from the individual person via a Power of Attorney document, or by a court, usually through a guardianship action. Powers of Attorney documents are valid once they are drafted and signed. However, typically the agents nominated within the document do not have authority to act until two physicians later determine that the person is incapacitated. This is commonly referred to as “activation” of the Power of Attorney.

Looking for a Specialist?

Living Will A Living Will is a document that looks similar to a Power of Attorney for Healthcare on its face; however, there are several important differences. In writing a Living Will, a person makes a directive to his or her doctor regarding the person’s end of life decisions. There is no authority given to an agent as in the Power of Attorney for Healthcare. Additionally, a Living Will only contemplates and provides for actions in very specific circumstances. By contrast, a Power of Attorney for Healthcare provides for broad authority to make decisions in a wide range of situations. A person can have both a Power of Attorney for Healthcare and a Living Will, if desired, or one or the other. However, it’s important that if a person has both documents that the wishes expressed within them are consistent. Authorization for Final Disposition Finally, the Authorization for Final Disposition allows a person to indicate his or her funeral and burial preferences in writing and to appoint an agent to carry out those wishes upon the person’s death. This document is recommended as part of a comprehensive estate plan because a person’s authority as an agent under a Power of Attorney ends upon the principal’s

death. If no agent is appointed under an Authorization for Final Disposition form, Wisconsin law indicates that a surviving spouse, child, parent, or sibling (in that respective order) can make funeral and burial decisions on behalf of a decedent. Free help is available For more information on advance directives, visit the Wisconsin Guardianship Support Center’s website at gwaar.org/gsc or http://gwaar.org/for-professionals/elder-law-and-advocacy-center/wi-guardianship-support-center.html. The GSC provides legal information about Powers of Attorney, Advance Directives, and Guardianships via a helpline at (855) 409-9410 or email at guardian@ gwaar.org.

Honoring Choices of Wisconsin is an initiative of the Wisconsin Medical Society, which promotes the creation of advance care documents. More information, as well as the Honoring Choices Advance Directive, is available on its website: www.honoringchoiceswi.org. The Department of Health Services also has the statutory Power of Attorney and Living Will forms available on its website: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/forms/advdirectives/index.htm.

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is reusable medical equipment, like blood sugar monitors, hospital beds, walkers and wheelchairs that your doctor orders for you to use at home. Can I get DME? Anyone with Medicare Part B can get DME if it is medically necessary. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, sometimes called a Part C plan, you should check with your plan to find out how to get DME. How do I get DME with Medicare Part B? If you think you need DME, you should first speak with your doctor. If your doctor agrees that it is medically necessary, he or she will write a prescription for the Medicare-covered equipment you need. Your doctor might also have to provide additional information to show that the equipment is medically necessary. Find a Medicare-enrolled supplier Once you have a prescription, you should find a Medicare-enrolled supplier. If a supplier is not enrolled, Medicare will not pay for the equipment. You can find a supplier online by going to www.medicare.gov and clicking on “Where can I get covered medical items?” at the bottom of the page. Type in your zip code and click “Go.” Then, choose the type of equipment you need from categories listed and click “Search.”

Medicare Assignment If possible, you should use a supplier that accepts Medicare assignment. This means that the supplier will accept the Medicare-approved amount as payment in full for your equipment. You will pay 20 percent of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. If a supplier does not accept Medicare assignment, that supplier may bill you for costs beyond the Medicare-approved amount. Paperwork help The supplier will be able to help you with any paperwork or documentation requirements. Moreover, the supplier will be able to tell you if Medicare will allow you to buy the equipment or whether Medicare will pay for you to rent it. In addition, if the supplier thinks that Medicare will not pay for your equipment, you will get a written notice called an “Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage” (ABN). The ABN will list the equipment that Medicare is not expected to cover, an estimate of the cost of the equipment, and the reasons the supplier thinks Medicare will not pay. Note of caution Finally, if the supplier requires you to submit the claim to Medicare yourself, beware. This is a red flag! Because enrolled suppliers are required to submit claims on behalf of people with Medicare, this may mean the supplier is not a Medicare-enrolled supplier and therefore Medicare will not pay anything for your equipment.

Statistics for March 2017 39 Senior chores 51 rides 46 furniture moves 20 firewood deliveries 62 food distributions 4,451 miles 684 volunteer hours 1 ramp (two more in the works)

BURNETT COUNTY—Senior Evening Meals have been scheduled in May at A&H and Grantsburg Senior Centers. At A&H, the senior evening meal will be served at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17 at the center, located at 28315 County Road H. The menu includes salad, roast pork loin, vegetable medley, roasted potatoes and strawberry shortcake. At Grantsburg, the senior evening meal will be served at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 18 at the center, located at 118 Madison Avenue W in downtown Grantsburg. The menu includes salad, turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, vegetables and peanut butter bars. The suggested donation is $6 per person. The meals are open to all Burnett County residents age 60 and better. It’s a time to socialize and make new friends as you enjoy a delicious supper. Reservations are required two days before the meal. To make a reservation for the A&H meal, please call 715-635-7199. To make your reservations for the Grantsburg meal, call 715-463-2940.

Volunteer Sara and I are redoing the filing system in the office. Everything will be easier to find for anyone who needs something. We hope to have this project complete by the end of May. This is not an easy task. Everything for Interfaith is on an external drive, but I have hard copies of most of the paperwork. You would not believe the size of some of the files with 20 years of bookkeeping and records. It is a daunting task. Volunteers are the heart of Interfaith Caregivers. Heat-a-Home (our woodcutting and delivering ministry) has four churches and four organizations that volunteer: Lakeside Lutheran, Bethal Covenant Church, Yellow Lake Lutheran and Zion

Liver and Onions One change was made to the mid-day lunch menu in May at Grantsburg Senior Dining. On Thursday, May 25, the menu will be Liver & Onions, baked potato, vegetable and cook’s choice dessert. Meals are served at about 11:45 a.m. To make a reservation, please call 715-463-2940.

Lutheran as well as the Arborists, Herzl Camp, Webster School, Restorative Justice and many others who want to help. Christmas for Kids needs volunteers, but for that event we need to find more places for people to work. The schools like to be involved, but I can’t find a place to put them. It’s something to think about. Let us know your ideas. We will, of course, talk about this later. We only have six drivers, but seem to make it work. What we lack are volunteers for fundraising. If we didn’t have Gladys to put the bake sales together, I don’t know what we would do, but we need help with the rummage sale for sure. We need volunteers for July 4th and other functions that we sell tickets for our drawing. We have 2,000 tickets this year. I would like to sell them all by the October drawing date.

homa. It was in December, so you know it was cold and nasty. He said he had slept on the ground the previous night although all he had with him was a small backpack. Denny took him to get something to eat, but all he wanted was a hamburger, no bun, just the meat. Nothing else. We got him a room for the night and I got to work on finding him a bus ticket to Oklahoma. In the morning, we called the motel and asked the owner to wake him so we could get him to his bus. There was no answer at the door, so the owner got his master key and opened the door. The room was as if no one had been there. Bed made, no towels or toiletries used. Nothing. Jon had just disappeared. Denny drove around to see if Jon was walking again and there was no sign of him. It was then when Denny remembered the last thing Jon said to him was “God loves you.” True story. Happy Mother’s Day to all of you. Mom, I wish you were here. Barb

ADRC offers free intro to laptop, tablet computers

Protect yourself from medical alert scams How can I protect myself? Criminal outfits have no regard for the law. Here are a few steps you can take to prevent fraud:

FROM THE OFFICE OF MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL LORI SWANSON

Most people have seen TV ads for a device that sends help when a person has fallen and can’t get up. Legitimate medical alert devices have been lifesavers for some, but a telephone scam preys on the worry for people who live alone and fear they won’t be able to call for help if they are injured or sick. “Free” medical systems are not free. Across the country, senior citizens report receiving phone calls that offer “free” medical alert systems. Scammers scare and defraud seniors by convincing them to disclose their private information and then use this information to commit identity theft or drain bank accounts. How does the scam work? These scam calls can take on many forms. Often, the callers claim they are with Medicare or a familiar medical provider, or tell you that your “free” medical alert system is ready for pickup if you “press one.” Once you press a button, however, you will begin to receive more unwanted calls and requests to convince you to disclose your personal information. Do not share financial information In some cases, the caller may try to gain your confidence by claiming that an anonymous person or a family member has paid for the alert system and that you must provide your information for delivery or setup. People who continue on this path are then asked for more personal information, such as a credit card number or Social Security number. Once you provide private information, the unknown entity may begin charging you for an unwanted or undelivered service. Scam callers who obtain private financial information over the phone may use it to steal money.

• When in doubt, don’t give it out. If you are not sure who you’re dealing with, don’t give out any personal information. Regardless of what they say, no legitimate organization, including Medicare, will call to ask for your bank account number or Social Security number. • Just hang up. The longer you spend on the line with a phony operator, the more likely it is you will get another scam call. Be cautious of cold-calls that claim “no strings attached.” If you receive a call that seems fishy, just hang up. • Beware of “free” offers. Remember, callers offer free trials to get you to purchase some good or service down the road. Ask yourself: why would a company give me a medical alert system for free with no hope that I would make an additional purchase down the road? It wouldn’t. Remember, if an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. • Don’t rely on caller ID. Some seniors report that their caller ID system displayed a local phone number when they received one of these scam calls. Remember, criminals often scramble the number appearing on your caller ID with “spoofing” technology that tricks your caller ID system into displaying a fake number. Even a supposed “local number” associated with this scam that shows up on your caller ID system will likely lead to a dead end. • Report suspicious activity. Check out an unknown company before you sign up, especially if business is done over the phone. If a caller seems suspicious, hang up and report the matter. Call the Burnett County Sheriff Non-emergency number at 715-349-2121 or ADRC office at 877-485-2372.

WEBSTER— Starting in later May, ADRC will offer older adults a new, quick, easy, safe and free way to learn how to use a tablet or computer. The events are called “Sip & Swipe Cafes.” If you have a tablet that has been collecting dust, now would be the time to break it out and learn how to use it! If you do not have one, ADRC has a limited number of iPads® that it will provide during the training. This program is self-paced, which removes the pressure of keeping up with others. A coach is alongside you throughout the process to help with any questions. This is an award-winning program which made it possible for more than 90,000 older adults to help themselves learn to use the Worldwide Web (internet) and email.

A trip to Social Security office may not be necessary BY RHONDA WHITENACK AND JIM CZECHOWICZ ST. PAUL SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE

Social Security is constantly evolving to make your life easier. If you are currently receiving benefits from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and are reapplying for benefits, or are assisting someone with their application, a trip to the Social Security office is probably not necessary even if verification of Social Security benefits is needed. Because of a data exchange established between Social Security and HUD, most people do not need to contact Social Security for a benefit verification letter. HUD administrators processing a Recertification Application for Housing Assistance can use their Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) System to verify Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits. Public housing agencies, private owners, and management agents administering HUD rental assistance programs may get registration information about EIV by logging onto the following websites: go.usa.gov/ x97mH or go.usa.gov/x97m6 If you are a new applicant for housing assistance, you can provide your HUD administrator with your Social Security award letter, Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) notice, SSA-1099, or other SSA benefit document you should have received at the beginning of the calendar year or when you began receiving benefits, whichever is later. We created these data exchange agreements to help you get the support you need at the first point of contact, even if Rhonda Whitenack that’s not with Social Security. & Jim Czechowicz If you do need to provide St. Paul Social Security Public proof of Social Security beneAffairs Office fits yourself, we have another way to save you a trip to Social Security. You can get an instant benefit verification letter with a personal my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity. gov/myaccount.

Beware of the ‘hotline scam’ BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) recently announced that its hotline telephone number is being used by scammers to obtain personal information. The scammers represent themselves as hotline employees and alter the appearance of the caller ID to make it look like the call is coming from the hotline number. After obtaining personally-identifying information, the scammers can then steal money from bank accounts or for other fraudulent purposes. What you need to know The HHS OIG hotline never makes outgoing calls. If you receive a phone call from 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1800-447-8477), do not answer the call. Keep information private Never give personally-identifying information like your social security number, date of birth, credit card or bank account numbers, driver’s license number or mother’s maiden name to anyone over the phone. It is still safe to call in to the hotline number to report fraud. If you believe you have been a victim of these scammers, you should report your case to the HHS OIG Hotline 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477) or spoof@oig.hhs. gov. You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). Be sure to include the date and time you received the scam call.

Many Burnett County Seniors rely on nutrition programs 2016 STATISTICS ELDERLY NUTRITION PROGRAM STATISTICS COMPILED BY GREATER WI AGENCY ON AGING (GWAAR)

BURNETT COUNTY—Each year around September, seniors who participate in the Home-Delivered and Congregate Meals Programs (Meals on Wheels and Senior Dining) are asked to complete a survey regarding the Nutrition Program. Based on the survey, the State of Wisconsin recently released 2016 statistics for the Elderly Nutrition Program (ENP). The ENP mission is broad: to help older people maintain maximum independence in their homes and communities and to promote a continuum of care for the vulnerable elderly. In 2016 in Burnett County, the ENP served 63,889 meals to 855 participants. Statewide, ENP served 1,565,818 Congregate Meals and 2,262,692 Home Delivered Meals to 66,515 older adults (60+). Important facts from the 2016 statistics: 1) People rely on ENP meals for food security • 74 percent of Home-Delivered and 64 percent of Congregate participants said the meal provided half or more of their total daily intake. • Almost half (45 percent) of the Home-Delivered Meal participants said they would NOT have at least one, hot, freshly prepared meal per day without ENP meals. • About one in three (29 percent) Home Delivered Meal participants said there would be days they don’t get enough to eat without ENP meals. 2) Health & Chronic Conditions Improved – ENP plays a key role in continuity of care. • 47 percent of Home Delivered and 43 percent of ntain or Congregate participants said the meals maintain improve their chronic condition. nt • 85 percent of Home Delivered and 78 percent of Congregate folks say they eat healthier. • About one in five participants for both programs say the meals and daily safety check help prevent or decrease unplanned hospital visits. • 89 percent of Home Delivered and 81 percent of Congregate folks say the meal program improves their quality of life.

3) Safety Check and Socialization • When asked, “On most days, is the Meals on Wheels driver the only person you see?” One in five said, yes! • Having meals delivered in person offers: safety/ security check (44 percent), link to other supports (41 percent), someone to talk to (35 percent), which all lead to a decrease in loneliness and isolation. 4) Funding: Participants Value and Financially Support the Program • Wisconsin’s elderly aren’t looking for a free meal. In fact, some areas of the state report 50 percent or more of program funding (33 percent statewide average or 11.2 million in 2016), coming from those who receive meals and their communities. This is significant when you consider the Older Americans Act allows the program only to ask for a donation. It cannot charge participants for their meals. In other words, this program is so highly valued that folks contribute despite no requirement to do so, which stretches every state and federal dollar. ENP falls under Title III of the Older Americans Act, which was enacted in 1965. This act established the Administration on Aging (AoA) and state agencies on aging to address the social service needs of older people. The Act is considered the major vehicle for promoting the delivery of social services to the aging population. For more information on the ENP, contact Dawn Sargent, Polk/Burnett County ADRC Aging Unit Supervisor at 1-877-485-2372.

IN PLAIN SIGHT: Awareness program for parents by Restorative Justice CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6

Taking place outside of the board meeting room was an interactive exhibit presented by Restorative Justice of Northwest Wisconsin. Below is RJNWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explanation of their exhibit: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restorative Justice has created a Hiding in Plain Sight room. This room is an awareness program for parents. It is designed to educate them on some of the things that they may be missing in their teensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; room. This room is unique in that it is much more than just listening to a lecture. This is an interactive exhibit for

adults only. Parents are invited to come up and look around the room. They try to identify items that could be a sign of risky behavior. Items in the room help parents to better understand that many seemingly ordinary items can have double meanings. The room may also help parents identify the warning signs of drug use before it becomes an addiction. The earlier that parents are aware, the earlier they can intervene. This can start communication with their child and help to maintain a connection when it comes to drugs and alcohol. Technology and the internet are making it easier to

access products that are being used by youth to hide drugs and paraphernalia. There are over 50 items in this room that are directly linked to drug and alcohol use. Most items were purchased on line. This room is an effort to educate and inform parents about what is in the community. The room has been to 11 different locations and had over 400 visits to date. In May of 2017, we are heading to the capital. Wisconsin State Senator Sheila Harsdorf has asked RJNW to present for two days in the rotunda in Madison to educate the public.â&#x20AC;? RJNW would like to thank Burnett County for the support of their program and project.

cross the plate. It was the third inning when “a couple pitches got up and Unity was able to hit them,” said Coach Jarrod Washburn. “A good team like Unity takes

advantage of plays like this.” With two out, Hunter Pederson walked and Landon Hendrickson doubled him home. Cody Ince followed with a run scoring single and Unity was up 2-1. But, the door was shut by Tigers pitching for the rest of the game as the Eagles sent only the minimum amount of players to the plate. In the fifth inning, Austin Donahue walked, but was caught stealing second on a perfect throw from Trevor Gustafson to second baseman Jordy Larson. In the top of the fifth, Webster scored two to take the lead back at 3-2. Matt Buffington walked. Austin Spafford moved him to second on a sacrifice play. Trevor Gustafson singled and Jack Washburn got on via an Eagle error, one run scoring. Then Hunter Gustafson singled, scoring another run. Trevor Gustafson had two hits to lead the Tigers. Hunter Gustafson and Jordy Larson had the other two hits for Webster. Washburn started for the Tigers, gave up the two runs on two hits, walking four and striking out 10. Trevor Gustafson finished in relief, throwing just five pitches, walking none and getting one strike out. The Tigers host Grantsburg on Thursday and go to Siren on Monday.

CLEAR LAKE—The Webster boys placed second last Tuesday at the Clear Lake Invitational Track meet, earning 144 points, just 11 behind Amery who took the meet at 155.5. The Tiger girls scored 85.5, 47 points behind the winner who was Amery with 132.8. Siren came in with 45 points for the boys and 39.6 points for the girls. First place finishers for the Tigers were Andrew Ruiz (800 meter run, 1600 meter run and 3200 meter run) and Dustin Kern (300 meter hurdles). The only girl first place finisher was Sadie Koelz (pole vault). Second place awards for the Tigers went to Joey Formanek (800 meter run); the 4x400 meter relay team made up of Xavier Stanton, Kerik Stubbe, Simeon Wilson, Hunter Erickson; and Austin Moser (discus and shot put). Sam Nelson (1600 meter run) and Sophie Phernetton (discus) were second place recipients for the girls. The lone Siren boys first place finisher was Tanner Lee, in both the discus and shot put. The Siren girls 4x100 meter relay team, made up of Jade Horstman, Abby Kosloski, Paeyton McKnight, Alexa Buskirk came in second place. Horstman was also second in the triple jump. “The most impressive thing with young people is their resilience,” praised Siren Coach Wayne Koball. “Cassie Maslow ran the 300 hurdles and fell. Falling in the hurdles is not uncommon, but the resilience of hurdlers is amazing, and Cassie, true to form, rolled back on her feet and finished. This to me is the essence of athletics —teaching young people to endure and rise above the challenges. Nobody likes falling, but we all do it, and how we handle that is a deciding factor in our lives.” The coach continued, “We did a great job in the field events, and our running is improving. Jade Horstman had a PR in the triple jump, and is driven to improve. Tanner Lee had a great night, in the rain and wind, winning both the shot and disc. I had a long talk with Rylee O’Brien about how to run the 800, and she put all the lessons into action. She along with Victoria Brown ran very smart races and look to have a lot of promise as they gain experience in their races.”

Bailey Mangen and Jordan Webster had three hits apiece. Bailey came across the plate five times. After traveling to Turtle Lake on Tuesday, the Dragons will go to Shell Lake on Thursday, host Webster on Monday and go to Flambeau on Tuesday.

Pirates blank Comets BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—“We squandered a few opportunities in the first couple of innings, but wound up stringing some hits together in the third and fourth,” reported Pirate Coach Pete Johnson following his team’s 13-0 shut out of the Cameron Comets last Friday. Grantsburg opened the scoring in inning one with a walk to Austin Wedin, a single to Luke Anderson, a fielders choice and then a single by Sven Johnson. Inning three saw three more runs come across the plate. With one out, Austin Casey doubled. Consecutive singles by Jacob Barnard, David Nelson and Ricky Clark were next. Tanner Berger was hit by a pitch and then Austin Wedin singled. Fourteen Pirates came to the plate in the fourth inning with nine of them scoring. Six walks, four singles and a double were the highlights of the inning. Jacob Barnard went three for four from the plate with two singles and a double and two RBIs. Austin Wedin had two hits and two RBIs as did Austin Casey and David Nelson Ricky Clark and David Nelson each pitched two innings for the Pirates with only one hit being allowed. Austin Casey pitched one inning in mop-up mode. “As a non-conference game, we got some mound innings for three of our pitchers. They did well, only giving up one hit total,” concluded Coach Johnson.

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers continue toward their goal of post -season play as Trevor Gustafson and Jack Washburn pitched a onehit shut out over the Shell Lake Lakers on Friday. “Trevor had great control of his pitches,” said Coach Jarrod Washburn. In the seven inning game, five of the innings went 1-2-3 for the Tigers’ defense. Gustafson and Washburn allowed just the one hit, a double, walked but two, and struck out 10. For the Tigers, their run came in the very first inning. Austin Spafford singled, stole second, moved up on a wild pitch, and scored on a sacrifice by Trevor Gustafson. Trenton Wols had two hits for Webster, both singles, and he also had three stolen bases.

Pirates take second at Grantsburg course BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates golf team placed second at the Conference Meet at Grantsburg last Monday. Logan Lillehaug of Luck/Frederic was the medalist, shooting a 32 which enabled his team to take first with a score of 145. Grantsburg was second at 160. Jared Lee carded a 33 and Joey Duncan scored a 38. Austin Bowman and Justin Patterson scored a 44 and 45 respectively. The Webster/Siren team totaled a 204. Carter Doriott had a 40 and Brett Johnson a 49. Katelyn Tegarden scored a 52 and Daniel Ingalls recorded a 63. At Clear Lake on April 13, Grantsburg

was also second with a 192 and Webster/ Siren tied with St. Croix Falls at 204. The medalist again was Lillehaug from Luck/Frederic. The meet was at the Clear Lake Golf Course. Jared Lee was the low man for the Pirates at 42 and Carter Doriott had the low score for W/S with a 50. Luck/Frederic leads in the conference standings, followed by Grantsburg, Unity, Clear Lake, St. Croix Falls and Webster/Siren. “I am quite pleasantly surprised at how well the team has performed this year so far,” praised Pirates Coach John Addison. “Jared Lee and Joey Duncan both have shown a willingness to compete at a higher level which is fun to see. Austin Bowman, Avery Fagerberg and

Dakota Schultz all are seniors playing for their first year on the team, and all have already started to compete very well in competition. Lane Johnson has made his mark on the varsity team. Justin Patterson surprised me how well he has played. “Luck/Frederic will probably walk away with the conference championship this year. But, if this team continues to improve like they have, I would be disappointed if we didn’t make it to sectionals, and if Jared Lee or Joey Duncan didn’t have a good chance at going to state.” Golfers are busy this week with both Burnett County teams in action each day through Thursday, and then on Friday, the Grantsburg squad goes to Hayward for tournament play.

DNR addresses ice-out damage to lake shoreline

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Cameo and Confetti are six-month-old calico kittens currently being fostered, but available upon request if someone is interested in possible adoption. There were originally three kittens, but their brother (Charlie Bear) was adopted. o Both girls are timid, but are coming around b tthe more they are hand dled and the more they g get comfortable in their ssurroundings. It would be g great for these two to be a adopted together as they a are quite bonded. I think b because of their shyness ,,they tend to stick togethCameo er more – playing and cuddling with each other. However, I’m sure with a little time and tender loving care, they would do fine apart, too! I’ve been told that even though they are a little standoffish to us humans until they feel comfortable, they do get along with other cats and dogs. If you are interested in checking one or both of these beauties out, call ahead to make sure they are at the shelter.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

WAUSAU—As spring weather sets in, some shoreland property owners in northern Wisconsin are discovering Mother Nature has changed the look of their waterfront due to shifting ice over the winter months. In some areas, partial thaws and high winds in February created ice heaves that deposited debris, damaged vegetation or reshaped shorelines in unexpected ways. On undeveloped lots, the problem may go unnoticed and the area will typically heal itself and regain vegetation over time. However, on developed lots where summer activity is more frequent, property owners may want to seek relief from a newly discovered pile of earth. “We had several freeze-thaw cycles combined with high winds this winter that created some significant ice shoves,” said Keith Patrick, a waterway and wetland supervisor with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. “The good news for many property owners is that by following a few simple rules, shoreline repairs can be made to address a newly formed ice ridge without need for state permits.” KEEP SOIL BACK

The ridge may be leveled on site, provided the soil is kept out of the water or any wetland area. The ma-

terial should be pulled back away from the water. No machinery may be operated below the Ordinary High Water Mark or in the waterway. Current county zoning rules must be followed and vegetation should not be removed from the bank. The rules are designed to protect the critical transition zones between the land and the deeper water areas. Fish and wildlife depend on the areas for food, cover and travel areas. The guidelines are for new ice ridges and cannot go beyond the scope of that project. ASK THE EXPERT

Property owners interested in additional lakeshore work such as grading, rock riprap, tree or vegetation removal must check with the Department of Natural Resources or the Burnett County Zoning Office at 715349-2138. For additional information on ice-out damage repairs, property owners are encouraged to contact their county water management specialist. In Burnett County, contact County Conservationist Dave Ferris at 715-349-2186 or visit dnr.wi.gov and search “waterway contacts.”

ST. CROIX FALLS—As zebra mussels continue their steady northward invasion with new lake and river infestations, an all-day workshop on Monday, April 24 focused on monitoring, control and watercraft decontamination. Today, zebra mussels are found in the St. Croix River from Stillwater south to its confluence with the Mississippi River, in Forest Lake (Washington County), Bass Lake (St. Croix County), Deer Lake (Polk County) and Big McKenzie Lake (Burnett/ Washburn County). Topics at the workshop included monitoring techniques and equipment, control methods, genetics and research, and various decontamination units on the market – their costs, operational details, successes and failures. Speakers included the Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Natural Resources, University of Minnesota, National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Zebra mussels are small, fingernail-sized invasive mussels that devastate native mussel populations. Native to eastern Europe and western Russia, they arrived in the Great Lakes in the ballast water of ships in 1988. Zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species are a threat to the overall health of the St. Croix River and its tributaries. One of the first eight nationally designated wild and scenic rivers, the St. Croix is one of the cleanest tributaries to the Mississippi River. It is a high-value fishery. The healthy, diverse ecosystem includes at least 40 species of mussels, several of which are rare or endangered. The introduction of aggressive invasive species into this complex system threatens the ecological integrity of the river as well as the unique cultural resources and our outdoor heritage.

Yes! Spring rains make for busy days in the yard. My honey said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the mower filled with gas so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to go whenever I want to mow! Oh sure! (Hint: maybe a new mower, Steve?) There were plenty of events to take in over the weekend. Many attended the Grand March for the Prom, smelt fries, birthday parties, showers and more. I was able to see a four-year old and another celebrating her 101st. When she thanked us, she also stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do this again sometime!â&#x20AC;? We were saddened to learn that one of our snowbirds from the Memory Lake Park will not be returning. We have also learned of several other friends we lost these past couple weeks. We are thankful for all the memories and laughs!

SIREN SENIORS by Nona Severson

Siren Senior Center is usually closed on Saturdays, but on Saturday, April 29, the center will open at 10 a.m. to accommodate all who want to enter their bids for the Silent Auction items. Everyone is welcome to bid. All people, all ages are welcome. Bidding closes at 1 p.m. on that Saturday, April 29. Many items have come in for our auction. This is our only fundraiser for 2017, so we hope to see many of you. Come in anytime. The Senior Center weekly hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday to Friday. We had our monthly meeting last Thursday. Sue Christensen volunteered to take over the gift shop. She will be making some changes. Lynn Sorlie is doing a nice job of keeping the books straightened. Remember, you may take any books home and then return them. There are no due dates or sign-outs on the books. This also goes for the puzzles. The centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance agent came to the meeting to discuss our insurance. We had some discussion about our sidewalk. The cracks need to be fixed again. The center will request some bids and ideas on how to fix the problem. The decorating crew will use their magic on May 1. I believe the May baskets and spring flowers will be part of the decorating. If you feel like helping, come to the center at 9 a.m. on Monday, May 1. Our 500 winners were Candace Doriott, Phyllis Peterson, Marion Obszarny, Marge Traum and Sue Christensen.

Survey: Burnett Co. among least healthy counties MADISON —Burnett County ranked 65 out of 72 counties for health outcomes and 67th for health factors, according to the seventh annual County Health Rankings, released by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute (UWPHI). The rankings are available at www.countyhealthrankings.org. Jodi Reed, a health officer for Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services’ Public Health Unit, said the department uses these rankings along with other health measures when doing Community Health Needs Assessment. The needs assessment is done regularly in collaboration with Burnett Medical Center (BMC). “These measures help us in identifying areas needing improvement and guide our efforts in addressing them,” Reed added. The ranking is an easy-to-use snapshot that compares counties within states. It shows that where you live influences how well and how long you live. The local level data makes it clear that good health is influenced by many factors beyond medical care including housing, education, jobs, access to healthy foods and more. This year the study took a closer look at premature deaths, or deaths that occur among people under age 75. Exploring Wisconsin’s premature death trends from 1997 to 2014, the study found 39 counties have seen improvements in premature death rates, while five have seen worsening rates and the rest saw no change.

Drug overdoses up

Untapped youth potential

The “Key Findings Report” reveals that drug overdose deaths are fueling a dramatic increase in premature deaths nationally because of an increase in deaths among 15- to 44-year olds. From 2014 to 2015, 85 percent of the increase in premature deaths can be attributed to a swift increase in deaths among these younger populations. The Rankings Key Findings report reveals that while myriad issues contributed to the rise, the drug overdose epidemic is the leading cause of death among 25- to 44-year olds and is a clear driver of this trend. Drug deaths are also accelerating among 15- to 24-year olds, but nearly three times as many people in this age group die by homicide, suicide or in motor vehicle crashes. “The County Health Rankings show us that where people live plays a key role in how long and how well they live,” said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, RWJF president and CEO. “The rankings allow local leaders to clearly see and prioritize the challenges they face — whether it’s rising premature death rates or the growing drug overdose epidemic — so they can bring community leaders and residents together to find solutions.” According to the 2017 Rankings, the five healthiest counties in Wisconsin, starting with most healthy, are Ozaukee, followed by Kewaunee, St. Croix, Taylor and Washington County. The five counties in the poorest health, starting with least healthy, are Menominee, Milwaukee, Sawyer, Adams County and Washburn.

This year’s rankings also introduce a new measure focused on young people, those 16 to 24, who are not in school or working. About 4.9 million young people in the U.S. – 1 of 8 – fall into this category. Rates of youth disconnection are higher in rural counties (21.6 percent), particularly those in the South and West, than in urban ones (13.7 percent). “Young adults who are not in school or working represent untapped potential in our communities and our nation that we can’t afford to waste,” said Julie Willems Van Dijk, PhD, RN, director of the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. “Communities addressing issues such as poverty, unemployment and education can make a difference creating opportunities for all youth and young adults. The County Health Rankings are an important springboard for conversations on how to do just that.”

‘Healthy Burnett’ The rankings have become an important tool for communities that want to improve health for all. Burnett County has a number of initiatives underway to expand health opportunities for residents. Burnett County DHHS Public Health Unit and Burnett Medical Center co-lead Healthy Burnett, a coalition formed in 2013 to address the highest health needs identified by community partners, are currently focusing on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. For more information on the health needs of Burnett County, progress being made, and to learn how to get involved go to: http://www.healthyburnett.org/ or visit us on Facebook.

determined by the court. If a person is responsible for an act of vandalism, that person shall reimburse the Town for up to three (3) times the amount of damages, as determined by the court.

SECTION II – REPEALER This Ordinance shall have no effect upon the scope of any Ordinance, to the extent that such other Ordinances do not conflict herewith.

SECTION III – SEVERABILITY Should any court declare any provision or section of this Ordinance unconstitutional or invalid, then such decision shall affect only the section or provision so passed upon, and shall not affect any other section or provision of this Ordinance.

SECTION IV – EFFECTIVE DATE This Ordinance shall take effect immediately after its publication as required under s. 60.80, Wis. Statutes. Adopted this 29th day of March, 2017. /s/ Gary Lundberg, Chairman /s/ Susan Braun, Supervisor /s/ Kathy Young, Supervisor

NEWSLINE Fire-damaged Fi d g d store t reopens

PINE CITY-—The Pine City Country Store reopened Friday, April 21 following a suspicious fire on Monday, April 10. The convenience store/gas station located just down the hill from the Pine City Wal-Mart is owned and operated by Cliff and Darla Harper of the Grantsburg Country Store. The Harper’s insurance company hired a professional cleaning crew to strip the store of its contents and clean the interior from top to bottom, to remove soot, residue and other smoke damage. Both bathrooms need rebuilding. Porta-potties are available now for customers and staff while that work continues. Many store fixtures were replaced. The store’s entire stock of goods was removed and restocked. Damages were estimated between $80-100,000. The cause of the fire is under active investigation by the Pine County Sheriff’s Department and the Minnesota State Fire Marshall.

STROLL THROUGH THE PAST by Eunice Kanne

‘Get out of the way!’ Mrs. Mildred Chell remembers her mother, a widow, driving a horse and a covered buggy to take cream to the creamery every Tuesday and Thursday. When other farmers saw her headed their way, they would yell, “Get out of the way. Here comes Mrs. Peterson and her horse!” The animal was a lively one who liked to rear up, putting his front feet into the back of any vehicle near it.

Spring brings new life, new hope

Pastor Andi Wittwer The Woodland Church

You have probably noticed... Spring is struggling to come to northern Wisconsin, and we sincerely hope snow is behind us for a few months. The days are longer, the grass is green again, trees are budding and flowers are popping up everywhere. Getting outside and moving around more freely is absolutely the best part of spring and summer. Fresh air, exercise and sunshine are so elemental in feeling â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? about life. I love traipsing around in the woods and finding new trails to hike. Maybe it is the sense of adventure that is exciting; or just

accomplishing something simple, healthy and positive for a sense of well-being. Spring is also a time of planning ahead. Gardening, graduations and home repairs often top our lists of â&#x20AC;&#x153;to-dosâ&#x20AC;? in May and June. There is a good reason baptisms and weddings are also traditionally spring events. When you plant vegetable seeds in your soil, you can look ahead to fruition in a few weeks or months. As such, baptism is the beginning of a new life with Christ which will grow, expand and mature over a lifetime. Marriage joins two people in an ever new

CALVARY COVENANT

adventure that should blossom into mature love as the couple forms a new family. When planting a garden, we plant the seed and wait patiently for the sun, the rain and the wind to help it grow into the fruit of the earth to feed us. As well as baptism is evidence of a seed of love planted in our hearts by a merciful, faithful and loving God. Marriage is a promise or covenant with our Creator God, the union of two people in which He plants new seeds for the future with Him. New Life in Him is the seed of eternity.
