Alleged embezzlement at Grantsburg church
GRANTSBURG—A former employee of Bethany Lutheran Church near Grantsburg is under investigation for allegedly embezzling aout $50,000. “I can’t comment because it is an on-going case,” Ron Wilhelm, Burnett County Sheriff, explained Monday morning. “It is a complex case. It’s about all our investigator, Jameson Wiltrout, has been working on for the last week.” Bethany Lutheran Church Pastor Jay Ticknor also declined comment for the same reason. The Sentinel will publish more as details become known. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

GR A N T S BU RG — It ’s not like the old days, when 60 people played bingo for baskets during a local cancer fundraiser.

ST. CROIX FALLS–Fifteen women and two men from Burnett and Polk counties met Thursday to form the League of Women Voters of Upper St. Croix Valley (LWV), a non-partisan group that encourages voting and active participation in all levels of government. Both men and women may join LWV. LWV was founded in 1920, only months after the Suffrage movement won women the right to vote. Wisconsin LWV Executive Director Andrea Kaminski of Madison was special guest and speaker. “Among our principles, we believe democracy is not a spectator sport,” Kaminski said. “Democracy is dependent on active and informed participation in government. The responsibility of good government rests on the shoulders of its citizens. Citizenship requires knowledge as well as the ability and the will to act. These are the missions of the League.” The Polk/Burnett group’s first action was to form four Voter Task Force Committees in four areas of the two counties. The goal is to help residents register to vote, and to prepare them to arrive at their polls with proper photo ID so they will be able to cast a ballot. The task force chairs and areas are: Merry Vinette of the Osceola/SCF area; Pam Davis of the Grantsburg

To vote — bring the correct ID BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
SIREN—When you head to the polls to cast your ballot in 2016, don’t forget to bring your photo ID. No photo ID, no vote, in most cases. Thirty-three states now have a voter ID law. Wisconsin is one of nine that strictly requires a picture ID. But, not just any picture ID will do. It has to be one of the following eight types of photo ID: • Wisconsin Driver’s License, current or recently expired. It can be presented for voting even if driving privileges have been suspended or revoked. • Wisconsin DOT-issued State ID. • Tribal ID. • WI Driver License Receipt or State ID Receipt if you have not yet received the actual ID. • Certificate of Naturalization (with embedded photo). • U.S. Passport Book or Card. • U.S. Uniformed Services ID. In most, but not all cases, one of those seven IDs will be enough to allow you to vote. The eighth and final ID has a second requirement: • A University, College or Tech College photo ID is acceptable when accompanied by a document to prove you are currently enrolled, such as a current tuition invoice or recent grades. If you have questions about whether a particular ID is valid for voting in Wisconsin, visit www.bringit.wi.gov. or call your county clerk’s office. If you don’t have one of the approved
IDs, you can obtain one at any Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) site. In our area they are located in Siren, Spooner, Luck and Rice Lake. Visit the WisDot web site for DMV hours of operation at each site. To get an ID, be sure to bring along a certified birth certificate, passport and other proof of identity and that you live in Wisconsin, such as a current utility bill or residential lease papers. What to expect at the polls: If you are not registered to vote, you may do so at that time. If registered, you will be asked your to state your full name and address. You will show your ID. You will sign your name in the poll book. If your ID is approved, you will receive a paper ballot, or permission to vote by machine if you desire. If your ID is not approved, you may still be allowed to cast a provisional ballot. You may return during voting hours and provide an acceptable photo ID, or will have until Friday of that week to show the municipal clerk a valid photo ID. Some voters are excused from showing an ID, including those who are voting in absentia while serving on active military duty away from home; and those have been granted “permanent absentee voter” status due to age, illness, infirmity or disability. Those with a religious exemption may use an ID without a photo. Be patient and courteous to the poll worker. Remember, this is their first time dealing with voter ID too.
Preventive care Good things happen when you’re dedicated to living an active and healthy life. Take care of yourself and your loved ones in 2016 by scheduling well visits and preventive care.

Trying to come clean What a positive experience it is to take part in a public session of the Burnett County Drug and Alcohol Court! Sure, the folks in drug court are initially there as a way to avoid going to jail. I say initially because you can almost “see” the transformation after two or three months in. The participants transform from beligerent “I don’t need drug court” kind of people into “Oh, this is what life is like drug-free” kind of people. Like Circuit Court Judge Ken Kutz, who presides over drug court, says, “they start seeing that there is life after drugs and Seems to that perhaps the program isn’t so bad after all. I think they Me start believing that, ‘If I put myinto this, I can come out a Todd Beckmann self better person.’” Once they make the decision to try drug court and are accepted into the program, their life becomes very regimented — an AA meeting here, a group help session there, community service hours to complete and random urine tests throughout to ensure participants are clean. Every other week the drug court team, the judge, the D.A., jail staff, treatment staff, a whole crew of people, meet to discuss each participant and their particular case. Then, the court meets with all the participants in a session open to the public. One at a time, participants are called before the judge in order to tell him how things are going, whether there’s anything new in their life, or questions or concerns they may have. Each individual chat ends the same way — the judge asks how long they have been sober. Obviously, depending on how long they have been in the program, answers vary from 15 days to 370 days but regardless, the response is met with a round of applause. And that’s the beauty of drug court. Here are these professionals, most of whom deal with people at their worst, who are actively working to help those in the drug court program turn themselves around. Sure, it’s a little self-serving — after all, each successful participant is theoretically one less “people at their worst” kind of person to deal with down the road. But for those professionals to put aside the stereotypes about drug and alcohol addicts and really try to help people, really speaks to their professionalism. As Judge Kutz said, their’s is not the perfect program and sure, they’ve had graduates suffer setbacks but, by and large, the successful participants have, pardon the platitudes, seen the error of their ways and want to turn over a new leaf.

Maybe the ads will be good This Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday as the National Football League plays the 50th edition of the championship game. The Carolina Panthers face the Denver Broncos in a game that many in our area couldn’t care less about who wins. With the Packers and the Vikings out of the picture, From the only die hard Publisher’s fans of the teams playing and a few Desk bandwagon fans will care about the Tom Stangl outcome. Sure, some are hoping that Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will cap off his career with a championship. There are many who hope he loses again. Such is the nature of a long career in the NFL – some people love you, others hate you. Some want Carolina to win in their second appearance in the Super Bowl. They certainly had a dominant season, losing only one game. Some Viking fans might be hoping Jared Allen, who played for the team for many years, might get a championship ring. But overall, I think the game won’t have many enthusiastic fans
tuning in. It doesn’t seem possible that this is the 50th edition of the Super Bowl. Fans of teams that made it to the big game each have their own special moment that comes to mind when the Super Bowl is mentioned. Packer fans may recall Vince Lombardi coaching the team to wins in the first two Super Bowls, when the NFL played the upstart (and then independent) AFL champs. It was a long wait until 1997, when the Packers defeated the Patriots in Super Bowl 31. Many hoped for back-to-back championships, but the John Elway-led Denver Broncos defeated the Pack the next year. It was 14 years until the Packers won their next title, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl 45. Viking fans are still waiting for their first championship, but it hasn’t been for lack of trying. The Vikings lost Super Bowl 4 to Kansas City, returned four years later to lose to Miami, came back the next year to lose to the Steelers and back two years later to lose to Oakland. Yes, 1977 was the last time the Vikings appeared in the title game. Denver has a long history at the Super Bowl, coming out as the loser in their first four appearances. The Broncos lost to Dallas in Super Bowl 12 in 1978, to the New York

Giants in 1987, to Washington the next year and two years later in a 55-10 drubbing at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. John Elway and the Broncos achieved redemption in 1998 when they defeated the Packers 31-24. They repeated the next year, defeating the Atlanta Falcons. The Manning-led Broncos were in the Super Bowl two years ago, losing to Seattle 43-8. Since the advent of the salary cap in 1994 and true free agency in 1993, it has become more difficult to field the perennial championship squads of the past. The Steelers won four championships in six years. The 49ers accomplished the same feat in a six-year span. Today, it’s hard to field back-toback titles. I hope you enjoy the game. It’s one of the few national spectacles that we can all relate to, in one form or another. As always, I welcome your comments.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SIREN SENIORS
When will it end? To the Editor: When is this destructive legislative session going to end? In the past few weeks, the Wisconsin Legislature has passed bills that greatly reduce the power of local governments to make zoning regulations that protect our lakes and rivers. The latest assault on citizen participation in decision-making comes in the form of AB 554 and SB 432. It concerns the sale of municipal water systems to private companies. Under current law, if a municipality wishes to sell its water system, it must pass an ordinance and then submit that proposal to a public referendum. Rates and terms are set by the PUC. Under bills 554 and 432, a public referendum is no longer required
By Nona Severson
for the sale of publicly owned water systems, just a council-passed ordinance. If citizens wish to hold a referendum, petitioners will have to secure signatures of 10 percent of the number of people who voted in the last governor’s election. Only then can a referendum take place. This bill was backed by ALEC and a private water company Aqua America of Pennsylvania. Aqua America spent $36,500 lobbying for this bill. Why? How did our legislators, Adam Jarchow and Sheila Harsdorf vote on this important issue? All of us need clean water to live. Let’s keep control of who owns our water close to home and accountable to the people who use it. Remember Flint, MI. Gail Lando Grantsburg
We have decided not to have a Good Friday breakfast. Instead, we will serve hot dogs and brats at some of the Farmers Market days. We are going to have a potluck in February at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 10. I was given the wrong information last week. We had something else scheduled, but now we are able to have the potluck. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. On Friday, Burnett County Sheriff Detective Jameson Wiltrout gave a presentation on scams. This was very informative. There are basically four types of scams – computer, phone, mail and face-to face. If you get a chance to go to a meeting about scams, I would suggest you attend as you can learn a lot. Our seventh annual card party will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 30, featuring a silent auction, prizes, cards, lunch and a fun time. Mark the date on your calendars.
Snowbirds – plan to come home so you can be here on April 30. If anyone would care to donate door prizes or items we can use for the silent auction, please drop them off at the center with my name (Nona Severson) on it. Thank you for donations. Our Spades winners were Darwin Niles, Arnie Borchert, Marlyce Borchert, Doug Harlander and Gerry Vogel. The 500 winner list was not left at the center for me.
Coming events: • Feb. 10–Ash Wednesday. • Feb. 10–Potluck at 11:30 a.m. Stay for 500. • Feb. 12-13–Snowmobile race. • Feb. 16–Election. • Feb. 18–Annual meeting. • Feb. 28–Cancer Benefit Bingo at Tesora. Doors open at noon. Bingo starts at 1 p.m.

It sure has been nice to see the sun, although I guess we are going to get more snow. Oh well, it is winter in the Midwest. Had a nice group again for dime bingo and we all enjoyed the treats furnished by Peggy. We play at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Come join the fun. Pat O. was the winner at pool on Thursday. Nikki was the dominoes winner. They play at 1 p.m. on Thursdays and always have room for more. Wii bowling was exciting. Pat N. had high individual game with 248 and high individual series with 406.

Everything you need to know about batteries BY JEN BARTON RECYCLING CONTROL COMMISSION
People are always asking me about single-use (alkaline) batteries and are shocked to learn that they are to be disposed of in your regular garbage. Keep reading to find out why that is. Why do we advise people to throw away alkaline/single-use batteries? The state of California is the only state where it is illegal to throw any type of battery (including single-use/alkaline) in the trash. This is partly due to the Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act of 1996 that phased out the use of mercury in alkaline batteries, making them less of an issue when disposed in landfills. Alkaline/single-use batteries do not contain heavy metals, which drastically limits their recycling market. Drop-off recycling for these kinds of batteries is nearly non-existent. You generally have to mail in your alkaline batteries to recycle them. More information about that can be found online. What about small round button cell batteries? These batteries are typically found in watches or hearing aids and are accepted through the household hazardous waste (HHW) collection program or at the Spooner Recycling Site. Are lithium, nickel-cadmium (NiCd), silver-oxide, zinc-carbon, zinc-chloride, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), nickel-zinc (NiZn), or lithium-ion batteries recyclable? Yes, all of these are recyclable through the HHW program and at the Spooner Recycling Site.
What are zinc-air batteries? Zinc-air batteries are single-use batteries that often come in button form. They are used in such applications as hearing aids and are accepted for recycling. What about rechargeable alkaline batteries, are they recyclable as well? Yes, if it says rechargeable, we will accept it for recycling. How about other batteries such as vehicle or rechargeable tools with batteries? All vehicle batteries and tool batteries such as those found in power drills are accepted. Also, vehicle batteries are accepted at all locations that sell them, and the business will usually give you money for them. In summary: since alkaline batteries no longer contain mercury, and because of the small amount of recoverable metals in them, they are not typically recycled. Rechargeable batteries can contain mercury, cadmium, lead, and lithium; however, many rechargeable batteries do end up being tossed into the regular trash by people who are either unaware that they should be recycled, or feel it is just too much trouble to do so. Alkaline batteries do not contain as many toxic components as many people think. They do, however contain metals like nickel, cobalt, zinc, manganese, and silver. At this time there are no real cost-effective methods available to recover these metals. If you have any questions regarding any type of recycling or hazardous waste disposal please contact me at jbarton@nwrpc.com, or 715635-2197.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL
FEBRUARY 3, 2016

Jailer gets 30 years BALSAM LAKE— It was an emotional two hours Monday afternoon, as family, colleagues, victims, and community members waited to hear the fate of one who many had once referred to as a “good family man,” Darryl Christensen. In the end, Judge Eugene Harrington’s 30-year sentence was an ending much different from anyone had hoped for, including Christensen. In November, former Amery Fire Chief and Polk County Jailer, Darryl L. Christensen, 49, of Amery, admitted to having sexual intercourse with five female inmates while employed as a jailer, pleading guilty to five counts of Second Degree Sexual Assault by a Corrections Staff. Each count would be punishable by up to 40 years in prison, for a maximum sentence of up to
200 years. “In my 19 years as a judge, except for the four or five homicide cases I’ve presided over, this is the most serious circumstance I’ve seen in all those years,” Harrington stated. In his sentencing, Harrington split Christensen’s sentences between incarcerated and extended supervision time, count by count, for a total prison sentence of 30 years, and an additional 30 years extended supervision. Count two, for which he received the most prison time (ten years incarceration and ten years supervision), was the harshest penalty, noted by Harrington as being an “especially serious offense.” By Jessica de la Cruz, Amery Free Press. Read the entire article in the Feb. 10 edition of the Sentinel.
Evans sentenced in meth case MADISON—A 25-year-old Webster man was sentenced last week by U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson to 60 months in federal prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for his role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Adam Evans had previously pleaded guilty to being involved in a conspiracy with Jerry Vang to distribute methamphetamine in northwest Wisconsin in early 2015. In 2012, an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and comprised of federal, state, and local investigators began investigating the importation and distribution of methamphetamine in Polk and Burnett Counties. On March 30, 2015, Vang’s vehicle was stopped by law enforcement and Evans was with Vang in the vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, officers located a baggie containing approximately 13 ounces of methamphetamine, packaging material consistent with drug distribution, digital scales, and firearms. Vang was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison on October 19, 2015. He pleaded guilty to his role in the methamphetamine conspiracy and to possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil praised the outstanding cooperation

among all law enforcement agencies involved in addressing the problem of methamphetamine use in northwest Wisconsin. In addition to the FBI, the task force included the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation; Polk, Burnett, and Washburn County Sheriffs’ Departments; the St. Croix Valley Drug Task Force; and the St. Croix Tribal Police Department. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Anderson.

area; Mary Bjorgaard of the Webster/ Siren/Danbury area. The Frederic/ Luck/Balsam Lake/Amery currently has no chair. Recruiting more members to grow the group is another primary goal. Task force members will meet at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7 at Cafe Wren in Luck. The meeting is open to the public. Marilyn Chesnick of Grantsburg, a member of the chartering committee, agreed to serve as interim president until a slate of officers is elected at the next general membership meeting in April, which will also be the annual meeting. The next meeting of the LWV Board will be at 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18 at Cafe Wren, and is open to the public. Voter registration goals The group discussed inviting Burnett County Clerk Wanda Hinrichs and Polk County Clerk Carole Wondra to speak on voter registration at the April general meeting. Another idea was to invite all township and village clerks responsible for voter registration to a Voter Registration Day at a centralized site in each county, to offer easier voter registration for the public. Executive Director Kaminski told the group some parts of the Wisconsin Voter ID law have made it more difficult for legitimate residents to register to vote. For example, Voter Registration Deputies must now be certified by each municipal clerk in order to register voters from that municipality. Additionally, proof of residence provisions in the law have caused voter registrations in Wisconsin to fall to about half of what they used to be. “People may want to register, but they don’t walk around with a copy of their residential lease in their pocket,” she said. Some of these may seem minor in rural areas of the state, but have a large impact on voter turnout in metro areas. The League takes positions on issues, Kaminski said, which sometimes causes people to think LWV is partisan. She gave examples of cases where the
league’s position has stayed the same over the years, but party politics have shifted back and forth. At the state level, LWV believes voting district lines should not be drawn by the elected representatives at legislature. “That allows them to choose their voters. We think voters should choose their representatives,” she said. LWV feels voting districts should be drawn by a non-partisan entity, whether it’s a state agency or a separate commission.”
Voter ID law LWV opposed the Voter ID law in Wisconsin, stating it was unneeded and unfair. “There is no evidence of voter impersonation in our state. We have fought for it to be less exclusive, because it makes it much harder for some groups of people to vote,” Kaminski said. When Voter ID was first introduced in 2011, LWV opposed it based on the state constitution, and won an early injunction. “We are happy we were part of lawsuits that meant no citizen was disenfranchised by the law in 11 elections during the past three years,” she said. But now, Voter ID is the law, so LWV is turning its attention so that every qualified citizen in the state is able to comply with the law and not lose their right to vote, she said. LWV volunteers are going to senior center, colleges, high schools, community fairs, registering voters and teaching people how to comply with the law. “For most of us with a driver’s license, it’s going to be easy. There won’t be a problem voting,” Kaminski said. “But, around the state, a lot of people don’t drive or have a state ID. There is strong evidence that about 300,000 currently registered Wisconsin voters do not have an acceptable ID. We are trying to find those people. “Some may think they have an acceptable photo ID, but may get to the polls and find out they don’t. Others may stay away because they think they don’t have an acceptable ID, but actually do. A lot of voter education is needed. Kaminski said, “We may have 99 problems in our state, but having too many voters on election day isn’t one of them.” STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL
League of Women Voters Executive Director Andrea Kaminiski of Madison (left) addressed the League of Women Voters organizational meeting Thursday night in St. Croix Falls. Fifteen women and two men attended, chose preliminary officers and set their first goal to help Polk and Burnett County residents get registered to vote in this year’s four elections.

County addresses on-going concerns BINGO: Playing for a good cause BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—Recreation officers and UW-Extension, the two biggest issues of Thursday’s meeting, weren’t “technically” on the agenda, but were addressed when committee chairmen gave their monthly updates to fellow Burnett County Board of Supervisor members during January’s meeting. “The sheriff has emailed me that as of Jan. 20, he has four trained rec-officers,” Ed Peterson explained. Peterson, who serves as the chairman of the county’s natural resource committee, offered the explanation when it was revealed during the committee’s monthly meeting there weren’t any rec-officers. Living in a tourist destination such as Burnett County and not having recreation-officers is an untenable option for member Larry Main. “There’s no way one officer can patrol snowmobile trails, patrol ATV trails and cover boat patrol and stay within their allotted hours,” he stated. “We should have at least four who can alternate duties.” Main was referring to the limited-term employees (LTEs) whose employment was terminated after 600 hours service to the county. The news from Peterson, then, assuaged Main for the time being. “The sheriff said he will have Ryan Bybee, the county’s first rec-officer, at each natural resource committee
meeting to report what’s happening in that area,” Peterson relayed. In his county board chairman report, Don Taylor made reference to the University of Wisconsi n-Extension meeting, which was set to follow county board. “ U W- E x t e n si o n is absorbing a $3.6 million hit, so they are trying to restructure how they Larry Main do business,” he told the other supervisors. He said that none of the proposed cuts he is aware of are to the administrative arm of the organization. “Frankly, I think that is wrong, but I guess we’ll see how it shakes out,” Taylor remarked. “I could see the county having to pay more for its UW-Extension services.” In other business: • Almost 80 years of service to the county were recognized Thursday as retirees Marcy Thalacker and Connie Crosby were honored for their service. Thalacker served as a human resources generalist for 36 years. Crosby served in the health and human services department, most recently as an Elder Benefits specialist, for 43 and one-half years.

ed, and then donate the money to Relay for Life,” she explained. The rest, as they say, is history. Of course, the Burnett County Relay for Life has since joined with Polk County and that event is conducted in St. Croix Falls in summer, so now Eng said proceeds from the basket bingo event is donated to the American Cancer Society. “We always have a representative come and speak during the event to let people know where their money goes. This year it will be Corena McManus,” Eng described. “Most of the money goes to research and those struggling with cancer.” “It gets bigger every year,” Eng said of the event. And therein lies one of the fears Eng has to deal with, come the last Sunday in February. “It gets to be about 11 a.m., the doors open at noon, and I think, ‘What if no one comes?’” she laughed nervously. But that has yet to happen. It is a fund raiser, so the $20 entry fee will buy you 20 games of bingo. There’s always a raffle. And, because it’s their anniversary, there will be five special games of bingo. The raffle and special games will cost you some additional funds. “It’s a special card you buy and you bingo on the letters H, O, P, and E,” Eng reported. Even if you aren’t lucky enough to win a basket, you could very well win a door prize. “Priscilla Bauer brings in door prizes
like crazy,” Eng noted. “She’s such a big asset to our event.” Lots of individuals and businesses donate as well. Of course, honoring those cancer victims is at the center of what they are doing. “Donations for baskets may be given in honor of, or in memory of, loved ones or friends,” Eng stated. “Those names are then read aloud when the basket is given as a bingo prize.” Similarly, if a basket is donated by Mr. and Mrs. John Doe, for example, a card is sent to the donors on behalf of the winner, thanking them for the basket they just won. In addition to being a 10-year anniversary, the 2016 event will be special because Eng said they are honoring cancer survivors, as well as a few other surprises. There is a method to their madness when they originally picked the date of the last Sunday in February. “Football season is over, Valentines Day is over and there just wasn’t much going on,” Eng remarked. “Keith Hobbie, who used to own Northwoods Crossing Event Center, could book us into that venue because late February is a slow season – and we are grateful to be able to use such a beautiful facility.” Jake Mangelsen, current owner, has willingly carried on the tradition. The doors at Northwoods Crossing Event Center in Siren open at noon and the event runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Food and beverages are available for purchase from Tesora Restaurant.
Winter Heating Tips Carbon monoxide is an invisible killer; practice carbon monoxide safety to save lives Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless gas created when fuel such as gasoline, wood, natural gas, coal, propane and oil burn incompletely. Heating and cooking appliances are sources of carbon monoxide in your home. Operating vehicles and generators in enclosed spaces can produce dangerous levels of CO. “Carbon monoxide can be extremely dangerous,” said Joan O’Fallon, communications director for Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative. “Exposure may cause sickness, and can even result in death. Symptoms include severe headache, dizziness, confusion, flu-like conditions, nausea and fainting. If you suspect CO poisoning, call 911 immediately.”

Follow these safety tips to help avoid CO exposure: 1. Install CO alarms near bedrooms to provide early warning of CO accumulation. 2. Do not run vehicles, motors or generators in garage, even if doors are open. 3. Move vehicles out of garage before running them to warm up. Make sure vehicle exhaust is clear of snow banks. 4. Make sure vents for dryers, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of snow, especially during and after snow storms. 5. Have fireplaces, chimneys, furnaces, water heaters, indoor stoves and space heaters professionally inspected every year before winter. 6. When burning in a fireplace, always open the flue for adequate ventilation.

Resolutions which really work I’m going to lose ten pounds! I am going to eat healthy! I’m not going to eat out. Have you ever said one of those things on January first? I have. Why don’t they work? Why do our new year’s resolutions disappear as fast as those Christmas cookies did? The new year represents new beginnings. We set all kinds of goals, lifestyle changes, and start new diets. I have been known to make big ambitious goals for the year too, most of them completely unrealistic. One year, I had everyone in our family make huge posters with new things we wanted to do that year. My Wild Chow kids wrote things like go camping and traveling overseas (one son wanted to Lisa Erickson go to Africa). I wanted to try a new restaurant every month and learn how to speak French. Needless to say, we didn’t accomplish much on those posters. It was more disappointing to look at those posters and realize there was no way we would accomplish most of them. By September I tore them up. There had to be a better way to make changes. A few years ago my husband and I started keeping a budget. We tracked our spending for the next three months to see where our money was going. Lo-and-behold, most of it was going towards groceries and eating out. I was surprised at the amount of money we spent at restaurants. We needed to make some changes. I started looking for the cheapest and healthiest
foods available. I looked at lists from fitness magazines, WebMD, and Martha Stewart, etc. Some foods kept coming up again and again: spinach, beans, garlic, lemons, lentils, potatoes, and fish. There were other things, but they were more expensive, like walnuts, but the amount per serving is small and only cost cents per serving. I started making meals from these foods and put us on a budget. Within a year we were saving money and we were healthier too!

Children and Investment Income The kiddie tax applies to unearned income that belongs to a child. It means that if your child has unearned income more than $2,100, some of it will be taxed at your tax rate. This rule applies to children who: • Have more than $2,100 of unearned income • Have at least one living parent • Are under age 18 at year’s end or under age 24 at year’s end if a full-time student If your child’s tax rate is higher than yours, your child pays tax at the higher rate. To learn more see the Kiddie Tax tax tip. You can report a child’s investment income on either your return or on your child’s return. If your child received earned income or income from a
sale of stock, you must ďŹ le a separate return for your child. Report sales of stock on Form 1099-B. Consider ďŹ ling a separate return for your child. The disadvantages of reporting your child’s income on your return include: You might have to pay more tax. Adding income to your return could: • Limit your IRA deduction • Limit your student-loan interest deduction • Limit your tuition and fees deduction • Reduce the amount of some itemized deductions Your adjusted gross income (AGI) might increase, which: Could affect your eligibility for certain credits, like: • American Opportunity Credit • Lifetime Learning Credit • Earned Income Credit (EIC) • Child and dependent care credit Could lead you to pay the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) or increase the amount of AMT you owe You can’t claim deductions on your return that your child would be eligible for if he or she ďŹ led a separate return. It might be better to ďŹ le a separate return for your child if your child: • Is blind • Has investment expenses or other itemized deductions • Is affected by early withdrawal of savings

CABLE–In just over two weeks, the Winter Olympics will come to Wisconsin in the form of the American Birkebeiner Ski Marathon, the largest ski race in the United States, Saturday, Feb. 20. The race will celebrate 43 years of bringing skiers from all over the world to ski 52 kilometers from Cable to Hayward. The Birkie offers a unique opportunity to see Olympic-class athletes competing in our area. More than 12,000 skiers are registered to take part in Birkebeiner events held Feb. 18-21 in the Cable/
Hayward area. Each year, the event needs more than 2,000 volunteers to provide liquids and on-course nutrition to the skiers during the race. The race route has nine food stations spaced over the 52 kilometers. Race organizers need volunteers every year to provide this support. Students can use their volunteer work toward community service requirements. Volunteers receive Birkie hats, event pins, lunch, and are invited to a volunteers’ party with a chance to win door prizes. To be part of the rich history of the American Birkebeiner Ski Marathon and help out for a few

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
I’m devoting this article to one special senior feline named Mistletoe. Mistletoe was rescued as a stray and brought to the shelter with severe burns to her paws. We aren’t sure how she was injured, but are leaning toward some sort of chemical burn. Even with three strikes against Mistletoe – living outside, age, and medical issues – this girl was resilient. It was reported that after being rescued and put in the vehicle, Mistletoe snuggled and played happy paws through the pain. After receiving much-needed medical attention and TLC, this little Tuxedo kitty has recovered pretty quickly and is ready for adoption. (MisMistletoe tletoe’s medical bills were paid through a donation specifically for her benefit, through our Stars Fund.) I couldn’t wait to meet Mistletoe, so made a special trip to the shelter to do just that. She was in the office, hiding under the printer. We moved the printer so that I could say hi, and she scrambled to the kitchen where she hid in the cabinet under the sink. I sat on the floor next to the kitchen cabinet and reached my hand in there, only to be greeted by an eager cat that walked back and forth rubbing against my hand. Mistletoe is very friendly, but was a little scared because the shelter manager’s big dog and another shelter kitty were both in the office. She didn’t hiss or seem upset when they both stuck their noses in the cabinet, so that’s a good sign. We consider Mistletoe “priceless� and, therefore, are waiving her adoption fee. After everything she’s been through, we want to make sure she is safe and sound, loved, and living indoors for the rest of her years. If you would like to help sponsor an animal that has medical needs, like Mistletoe, please make a donation to the Humane Society of Burnett County - and indicate that your gift is for Stars Fund. Stop by the Gandy Dancer Saloon on Friday nights in January and February for their meat raffle. Proceeds from these raffles go to the shelter. Also, the Clover Meadow Winery will be having a chili/soup cook-off from 3-6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20. Go to our website and scroll down to “Events� for more details. Hope to see you there! If you are interested in adopting Mistletoe, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www. hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096.

The bear necessities of hibernation BY EMILY M. STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATOR AT CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
A warm, musty smell hovered around the den’s entrance. By shining a flashlight into the hole, we could just make out a thatch of thick, black fur behind a screen of tree roots. Kneeling awkwardly on the snow, we each took turns trying to reach our cameras into the opening for a better angle. It wasn’t until I uploaded the photos at home that I noticed the single brown eye staring back at me through a gap in the roots. Peekaboo! For many years, scientists have wrestled with the question of hibernation, and if bears are “true hibernators.� One of the sticking points, it seems, was bears’ ability to wake up quickly during the winter, and be immediately active. The unquestioned hibernators – like ground squirrels — get so cold that they must warm up a bit before they can move quickly. A ground squirrel would probably not have opened its eyes in response to my camera flash. The bear did — and then promptly rolled over to go back to sleep. Subsequent photos just show an expanse of back fur. Hunter, the 12-year-old German short-haired pointer who discovered this den, experienced the bear’s relatively light sleeping, too. By the time his human arrived at the scene of a commotion, the bear’s growling snout was partway out of the hole. Luckily for old Hunter, the bear didn’t deem him enough of a threat to exit any farther. Still, having the option to defend yourself in an otherwise vulnerable time is an incredible advantage for bears. Chipmunks hibernating under the snow may never wake up if a weasel comes knocking. They become lunch before breakfast. As scientists learn more about the winter physiology of bears and other hibernators, they’ve had to refine the definition of hibernation. While it used to focus on animals that show a significant drop in body temperature, the emphasis is now on a specialized, seasonal reduction in metabolism concurrent with scarce food and cold weather. What’s more, scientists recognize that hibernation is on a continuum with the short-term bouts of decreased activity known as torpor. Not only have bears been restored to their place of esteem as hibernators, but many scientists consider them super hibernators. Amazingly, black bears generally do not eat, drink, defecate, or urinate during hibernation. They subsist off the 30 percent extra body fat they acquired during the fall feast. Even though this high-fat diet causes a doubling of their cholesterol levels (a serious problem for humans), bears do not experience gallstones or a hardening of their arteries like we would. In fact, we can use a substance secreted from a bear’s liver to dissolve our own gallstones without surgery. Urea, a

Bears are able to maintain a high enough body temperature during hibernation that waking up to check on unwanted visitors is a relatively quick process.
potentially toxic waste product created during the metabolism of fat that would typically be flushed out with water, is broken down into protein and used to build the bear’s lean muscle. Additionally, despite the long period with no weight-bearing activity, bears do not lose bone mass. Once scientists figure out the mechanism that keeps bears’ bones strong, we may have a new miracle cure for osteoporosis. A hibernating bear’s breathing slows significantly, from 40 breaths per minute down to eight. This is matched by a 50-60 percent reduction their metabolic rate. Nevertheless, bears’ huge bulk and thick fur enable them to stay within 12 degrees Fahrenheit of their normal 100-degree body temperature. The den’s small opening, snug fit, and a layer of duff on the floor also help them retain heat, although bears are commonly found hibernating in relatively unprotected places as well. In contrast, ground squirrels and chipmunks let their body temperatures drop to just above freezing. Virtually no normal functions can continue, and so they must wake up every week or so to warm up, move around, urinate, eat, and experience deep, refreshing sleep. Bears can wake up, but they don’t have to — unless, of course, a nosy dog and his people come sniffing around. We don’t know for sure when this bear entered its den, but hibernation is usually triggered by a combination of weather and lack of food. With this year’s late-coming snow cover, bird feeders were getting raided much later than usual, since bears were in no hurry to den up. One researcher observed that the final den entry often occurs during a snowstorm so that fresh snow will hide any signs that could lead unwanted guests to the sleeping bear. Indeed, no bear tracks marked the snow near the den’s entrance — just the prints of one snoopy old dog and a few curious naturalists interested in seeing a super hibernator in action.
WISCONSIN OUTDOOR NEWS DNR board to consider tree stand proposal
MADISON, Wis. (AP)—Department of Natural Resources officials want to let hunters leave tree stands on agency-managed lands overnight. DNR officials said in a memo to the Natural Resources Board that the agency’s current prohibition on overnight stands is designed to prevent people from staking out territory. But they say allowing overnight stands could be convenient for older hunters and hunters can leave stands out overnight on other public land. They plan to ask the board Wednesday to approve a scope statement allowing them to begin work on rules allowing tree stands overnight on DNR land. The statement says the rule could include a trial period on DNR lands in northern Wisconsin and provisions stating stand placement doesn’t reserve a location.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Wisconsin lawmaker proposes organ donation leave of absence MILWAUKEE (AP) — A state senator whose husband died while waiting for a transplant is proposing legislation requiring Wisconsin employers to allow unpaid leave for donating an organ. The bill, unveiled Tuesday by Republican Sen. Alberta Darling, would apply to companies with 50
or more full-time employees and would provide up to six weeks of unpaid leave. Darling’s husband died in March at age 71 while waiting for a kidney and pancreas transplant. “I know firsthand what it’s like to wait and hope,” Darling said. The senator says the bill could boost donation of organ donations because people wouldn’t be wor-
ried about losing their jobs if they take time off for surgery. “By removing barriers to organ donation, more families won’t have to wait, hope will come and their loved one will get a second chance,” she said. About 2,300 people are waiting for transplants in Wisconsin, most needing kidneys or livers, the State Journal reported.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Scott Walker says high likelihood of seeking third term JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker is hinting again that he’ll seek a third term as governor. Walker made the comments to reporters Tuesday after he signed a bill at the Rock County Courthouse expanding the state’s Family Care program to the county. Walker says he will wait until late 2016 or after the end of the year to make a formal decision, but he says he feels good about the progress he’s made and thinks he can build off it. Walker’s approval rating dropped during his presidential campaign last year. He is currently touring the state conducting invitation-only listening sessions and says he is spending time thinking about the next 20 years for the state.

SIREN—Snow or no-snow, the third annual Celebrate Wisconsin Snowmobile Event is coming to Siren later this month. While the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) isn’t new (they are conducting the 47th annual convention in March), the snowmobile show is — celebrating the third show Feb. 14-15. “What the snowmobilers do to bring tourism to the state is astronomical,” Sue Smedegard, AWSC secretary, remarked. “Imagine this area if there were no snowmobile trails —it would be dead in the winter.” But an inch of snow changes everything. “They don’t care what shape the trails are in — they are here and they’re going to ride them,” she went on. “They create a huge economic impact.” But the riders are a small part of the coming event. “We started this event because our elected officials didn’t really realize we were ‘here,’” Smedegard pointed out. She sees the weekend as an educational opportunity. “Everyone needs to know this is not a state-run program —we are totally self-funded,” she exclaimed. In addition to the money, she said the individual clubs do all the work. “A local club member goes to a landowner to get permission to clear a trail across their property,” she explained. “The club then does all the work — we do all the grooming, we do all the signing — our volunteers do it all.” It’s not the DNR’s responsibility — nor do they want it. “So when our group asks for a slight increase in a trail fee, the first response is ‘Why do you need that?’” Smedegard continued. “We need to get the word out that we do this on our own.” The weekend is basically divided into two distinct days — a snowmobile-related sports show at The Lodge at Crooked Lake in Siren on Sunday and then a snowmobile ride on Monday. “At the show, we’ll show off our grooming equipment, we’ll have vintage sleds, the local dealers will show off new models and anyone related to snowmobiling is welcome,” Smedegard enumerated. Monday is ride day — for legislators, the DNR, tourism people, media, local officials — everyone invited to the weekend goes on the ride “We get the local dealers to provide the sleds for the ride and the group will ride from Siren to Danbury for a lunch at the casino,” she noted. “Those without riding experience may ride straight up the Gandy Dancer Trail to Danbury while we may take those with some experience through other parts of the county — let them see all the beauty our county has to offer.” Smedegard is the contact person for reservations. “Last year when we had the weekend at Heartwood near Minong we had about 150 people,” she said. “We are expecting at least that many this year.” According to Smedegard, hosting the show in Burnett County will bring even more notoriety to the area. “Siren is home to Herb Howe and he is one of our speakers,” she reported. “Not only did he win the In-

Weather making Apostle Island ice cave visits less likely BAYFIELD, Wis. (AP) — The National Park Service says it’s less likely the extraordinary ice cave formations that have drawn tens of thousands of people to the Apostle Island National Lakeshore will be accessible this year. Warmer temperatures have, so far, created unsafe ice conditions at Wisconsin’s Lake Superior shore. Minnesota Public Radio reports rangers say the wind has “unlocked” the ice at Meyers Beach, the spot where most people start their ice cave treks. During the long, cold winter of 2014, more than 138,000 people visited the lakeshore caves and the majestic ice formations. It was the first time in five years that the caves were accessible. Last winter, warmer weather delayed the opening of the caves, but when they did open some 11,000 people visited during the first weekend.

ternational 500 snowmobile race in 1966 and is a Hall of Fame inductee, he’s one of the guys who went to the first landowner for trail permission and cut the first tree.” There will also be Jim Edming’s 1918 Model T Snowcoach —an old car on skis, at the show. “It’s stuff people don’t see everywhere,” she added. “Plus, in addition to seeing vintage sleds at the show, they’ll be on the trail on Monday — that’s something new to our area.”
Funded trails So the DNR doesn’t have anything to do with snowmobile trails and taxpayer dollars don’t go toward the trails either but there may be a disconnect when people hear the phrase, “funded trails.” “Because snowmobiling is a self-funded sport, the money a rider pays to be a ‘legal’ rider, machine registration, trail pass and a little of the gas tax, goes back into the trails,” Smedegard explained. She said the money goes into a segregated fund used only for trails. “The Snowmobile Recreation Council decides where the money goes — not the DNR, not the snowmobile association and not the state,” she pointed out. The council is made up of snowmobilers, some industry people and some DNR personnel — they have a good overview of what’s needed.” There are 337 miles of snowmobile trails in Burnett County — approximately 230 of them are funded. State-wide, about 650 clubs manage about 25,000 miles of funded trail.

Pirates dispatch young Tigers BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers opened up the gym doors Friday night to take on the Pirates from Grantsburg. The Pirates won this one 58-29, but this game was a sneak peek into what is up and coming for both programs. The Tigers started three freshmen, Trevor Gustafson, Jack Washburn and Brad Sigfrids, a sophomore, Joey Formanek, along with lone senior, Tate Fohrenkamm. Grantsburg started three underclassmen as well, so both teams have a lot to look forward to in coming years. For this game though, the Pirates were just too much for the young Tiger squad and Grantsburg took a commanding 38-14 lead at halftime. “They beat us at all phases of the game,” Tigers coach Rob Scherrer
said. “I was disappointed with our effort and if we want to continue to finish on a strong note we need to have more continuity.” The Pirates were able to shut down Webster’s big man, Fohrenkamm, inside and held him to just three first half points. Gustafson led the Tigers with six points this half, with Washburn adding three and Paul Sargent and Frankie DeBlase scoring one each. Jordan Knutson tallied 13 points for the Pirates followed by freshman Leo Chenal with 11. Joseph Ohnstad got his night started with six points. Austin Olson scored five with John Chenal ending the list, scoring three. The scoring slowed down for the Pirates in the second half as the Tigers were able to hold them to just 20 points while putting in 15 of their own. The young guns lead the way this
half for the Tigers with Washburn pouring in five and Gustafson popping in four. Sargent hit a three ball, while DeBlase was next with two, and Fohrenkamm ended the team scoring with one. Leo Chenal battled in the paint to lead Grantsburg in scoring with seven points this half. Knutson added five more to his total. John Chenal followed up scoring four with Jackson Gerber and Ohnstad adding two each. “We came out ready to go and were able to build a big lead to play with for the majority of the game,” Pirates coach Nick Hallberg said. “A solid team effort where I felt everyone played at a high level.” The win puts the Pirates at 6-2 in conference play and 10-4 overall, while the Tigers are 1-7 and 5-9 overall.
SIREN—In a game which could have gone either way, the Siren Dragons got past the St. Croix Falls Saints 5249 last Friday at Siren. The Dragons trailed at the half 29-24. Addie McCurdy and Katie Kopp led the first half scoring for the Saints with nine apiece, yet committed 10 fouls, one player of which had three. Siren’s Caitlynn Daniels also had nine to head the Dragon charge. Seven different Siren players scored, committed just eight fouls
with no one in foul trouble. Daniels poured on the scoring in the second half, putting in 15. The Saints had a hard time keeping Daniels at bay and ended up fouling her. Nine of her second half points came on free throws. Haley Peterson contributed eight in the second frame. Daniels ended the game with 24 with Peterson and Ashlee Rightman adding nine apiece. Siren plays two conference games, at Unity Tuesday and at Frederic Friday, before hosting a non-conference match-up with Flambeau next Tuesday.

TURTLE LAKE—The Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg wrestling team traveled to Turtle Lake last Thursday and defeated the Lakers 42-6. “The kids wrestled well,” said coach Chris Bartlett. “Both teams moved guys around to get matches and there were some good matches.” “The best two matches were at 120 (Merlin Hibbs-LFG vs Tyler Quade-TL) and 152 (Peter LundLFG vs Morgan Vennie-TL).” “At 120, Merlin was a take down machine and had two in the third period to seal the victory.” “Peter at 152 went back and forth
before getting a near fall in the third period to get the 6-4 victory after a late reversal by Turtle Lake.” “The kids were pretty pumped about not losing a single match and the only points given up were a forfeit at 138 where we haven’t had a wrestler all season.” Matthew Louis (220), Parker Steen (285) and Cole Britton (113) came away with pins. Adam Menke (145), Steven Holdt (170) and Brock Phernetton (195) also had pins. Hibbs and Lund decisioned their opponents. “The kids looked good and hopefully it carries over to tournament time.

but the Tigers were not about to just lay down. Allison Mulroy was left open behind the three-point line, and she took advantage of the opportunity. She hit three from behind the arc the first half to help the Tigers get back into the game and take the lead. Her teammate Lydia Wilson also had a hot shooting hand as she racked up 11
first half points to lead the Tigers to a 30-28 lead at the break. Grantsburg’s leading scorer Cassidy Lee was on the bench most of the first half due to fouls, so other players really had to step up their play.

On top of his 22 points, he also had 11 rebounds and five blocked shots.”
“Freshmen Trevor Gustafson and Jack Washburn had big nights for us offensively. They attacked the basket and put pressure on the defensive of Cumberland the whole game.” Webster led 39-24 at the half, with Fohrenkamm picking up 15 of his tallies during the first time frame. The Tigers were 14 of 24 from the free throw line compared to their counterparts who were six of 12.

Sporting cheers not impacted by ‘reminder’ the cheers as we have all grown up with them,” Webster Athletic Director Scott Hoefs commented. “In fact, I think most of your athletes don’t even hear what is being said during a game or match.” However, it would be easy to misconstrue Anderson’s remarks. “As we reviewed the fall tournaments and the sportsmanship evaluations and observations, we want to address concerns with a noticeable increase in the amount of chants by student sections directed at opponents and/or opponents’ supporters that are clearly intended to taunt or disrespect,” he wrote in his December email. He said the WIAA did not want to restrict creativity or enjoyment, and an enthusiastic and boisterous display of support for a school’s team is welcomed and encouraged at interscholastic events when directed in a positive manner. “However, any action directed at opposing teams or their spectators with the intent to taunt, disrespect, distract or entice an unsporting behavior in a response is not acceptable sportsmanship.

But when the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) blew its whistle on fans’ unsportsmanlike taunts and negative chants — such as “air ball” and “season’s over” — and directed school administrators in a December email to be ready to call such fouls, most felt the association was going overboard. In fact, the association’s executive director, David Anderson, has apologized for the distractions from widespread ridicule that followed the note. He said in a January email that his remark in December was intended as a reminder of a longstanding sportsmanship policy, not a crackdown on enthusiasm. That goes hand-in-hand with how the policy is enforced locally. “I think most of our coaches and student athletes don’t have a problem with
Student groups, school administrators and event managers should take immediate steps to correct this unsporting behavior.” Hoefs said the majority of the staff and coaches didn’t know anything about the WIAA’s note until it came out on the news. “When talking to the staff and coach-
es most feel that it is due to something that happen in the southern part of the state,” he pointed out. Going forward, Hoefs plans to take the reminder with a grain of salt. “The only problem I would have with sportsmanship is if someone was making noise during a free throw or serve — when the gym is silent,” he concluded.

Hazel Oman
Hazel Viola Oman, 94, formerly of Falun, passed away Jan. 26, 2016, at the home of her son and his wife, Dennis and Betty Oman, of Kipling, MI. The memorial service for H Hazel Oman will be at 2 p.m. S Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016 at First B Baptist Church of Falun. Visit tation will be one hour before t service. Pastor Mike Klevthe e will officiate, assisted by Asen s sociate Pastor Steve Ward. Hazel was born the second d daughter of John and Marie ( (Karlsson) Beck on Nov. 14, 1921 i Laketown Township, Polk in C County, WI. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith and remained a strong Christian all her life. She attended grade school at East Laketown and high school at Luck before moving to Falun in 1937. She graduated with honors from Grantsburg High School in 1939. Hazel married the love of her life, George Oman, on July 18, 1943, while George was on furlough before shipping overseas with the U.S. Army during WWII. On his return from service, George and Hazel built a home in Falun, where they raised three children. She had resided there for 64 years until moving to live in Michigan with her son in July of 2014. After her children started attending school, Hazel worked at Carlson and Johnson store in Falun and then at North States Industries for 20 years, where she made many lifelong friends. Hazel enjoyed embroidery, knitting, crocheting, and crafts. She gifted many people with her beautiful handmade creations of baby blankets, booties, and doilies. She loved digging in her garden and flower beds, and she loved watching and “talking” to the wild birds at her feeders. She treasured and deeply loved her friends, whom she considered to be her greatest gifts. But, she said, “My most precious gifts of all are my family. My husband, my children, the grandchildren, and my precious great-grandchildren.” Survivors include a son, Dennis (Betty) Oman of Kipling, and a daughter, Kris (Matt) Anderson of Siloam Springs, AR; five grandchildren: Heather Oman Beedy of St. Paul MN, Daisy Oman Mott of Frederic, Emily Anderson of Three Lakes WI, Leah Anderson of Siloam Springs, and Karl Anderson of Oklahoma City OK; four great-grandchildren: Samantha Oman of Saginaw MN, Dylan Oman of Grantsburg, and Colton Beedy and Logan Beedy of St. Paul ; and one nephew, Dick (Marilyn) Thompson of Duluth MN. She also leaves behind “adopted” grandchildren: Laurie Chell, Mari Johnson Parrow, and Bud Johnson; and a host of friends.

Help for the helpless Jesus cares for people no one else will. Listen to these words from John. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crowds of sick people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; blind, lame, or paralyzed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lay on the porches. One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you like to get well?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, sir,â&#x20AC;? the sick man said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else al-
ways gets there ahead of me.â&#x20AC;? Jesus told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;? John 5:3. 5-8 New Living Translation (NLT) This man had paralyzed for 38 years. Imagine being carried every morning to this pool, left to sit in your own waste on the off chance you could get to the pool and be healed. No wonder Jesus asks him if he wants to be well. It would have been easy to understand if he had given up on life and wanted to die. But
thanks be to God he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and accepted Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gift of healing. Today Jesus is still help for the hopeless. Even you and me.
