Marijuana and money taken as evidence after search warrant JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

“On Wednesday April 18, 2018 the Siren Police Department - with assistance from the St. Croix Tribal Police Department and their K-9, Reese - conducted a search warrant in the Village of Siren,” Sybers said. “The search warrant was related to the sale of illegal drugs. An adult female was arrested for felony drug charges and an adult male was arrested for drug charges.” Siren PD also took drugs, drug paraphernalia, money and a firearm as evidence from the residence. Also pictured in the evidence photo are multiple smoking devices, a scale, and a book on growing marijuana. The case is still under investigation and no other details were available at press time.

And this year’s Prom queen is.... Nobody was more surprised than Macy Moore herself when the crown was placed upon her head during the coronation ceremony on Saturday afternoon as part of Grantsburg’s Grand March. Fellow queen candidate Jenna McNally, left, could hardly contain her excitement for Macy. More photos on page 31.

Grantsburg basement ﬁre remains under investigation Multiple grass ﬁres ignited over weekend JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

A fire started in the basement of the home of Lowell “Olie” and Marlys Olson on Saturday night - destroying two rooms - but firefighters were able to save the structure. The Olsons were home at the time and were rescued before the flames had a chance to spread throughout the house. Grantsburg Fire Chief Cory Barnette said he got the call around 8:14 p.m. for a structure fire on Oak Street in Grantsburg. Siren and Webster Fire Departments assisted Grantsburg Fire

Department and Grantsburg Police Department and DNR officials were also on the scene. “When we got there the fire was in the basement and luckily it was contained there and stayed that way,” Barnette said. He said the Olsons could not evacuate without assistance from their son. People on scene said there was just an incredible amount of smoke billowing from the house. “My guys were in there and they couldn’t see the fire when inside the building,” Barnette said of the amount of smoke in the house.

There was no smoke or fire damage outside of the basement. “We were able to save the structure because the fire was able to be contained to the basement,” Barnette said. He added they had cleared the scene around 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning, but Barnette and state investigators were on the scene investigating the fire for a

large part of Sunday afternoon. The cause of the fire is under investigation that is being handled by state authorities. “State investigators were on scene most of Sunday and they have to go write their report,” Barnette said. He added that he will see the report in a couple of weeks when the investigation has concluded. Spring wildﬁre season Earlier on Saturday Grantsburg, Siren and Webster Fire Departments responded to a pair of grass fires. One was at Dueholm Flowage and the other was on County Road F. “It’s unfortunate, but people need to realize that spring wildfire season has started,” Barnette said. Barnette said a brush fire was started at the County Road F fire and quickly got out of control. The fire at Dueholm Flowage was handled primarily by the Siren Fire Department and it is unknown

Firefighters inside the home had difficulty locating the fire because of the amount of smoke in the basement. Crews worked on putting out the fire for almost four hours. Investigators were on scene on Sunday to figure out the cause of the fire.

what started that grass fire. “It could have been started by a cigarette. We don’t know right now,” Barnette said. “We didn’t find anything at the scene to answer what started that one.” Barnette reiterated that this time of year people should be care-

ful with what their burning as well as how they’re burning it. “People need to be paying attention because as it gets warmer and the snow melts more of these could happen,” Barnette said.

Wildﬁre season underway, get your burning permit today

While spring is always much-welcomed after Wisconsin’s long winters, seasonal warm and dry conditions can result in increased wildfire activity. That’s why Jay Riewestahl with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Grantsburg Ranger Station is gearing up for spring wildfire season and reminding you to get your burning permit now. “Weather is the single most important factor influencing how fires start and spread. Temperature, wind, humidity and precipitation are the key weather components that determine the daily fire danger,” Ranger Reiwestahl said. Debris burning is the No. 1 cause of Wisconsin’s wildfires; and fires caused by careless burning become more frequent this time of year. This year’s fire season is following historic patterns with peak activity expected during April. Wildfires can happen just about any time of the year, but history has shown 60 percent of all wildfires in Wisconsin each year occur in March, April and May alone. “Many people are eager to get outside to clean-up their properties by raking leaf litter, brush and pine needles so it looks good and is ready for new growth. Then, they choose to burn their debris pile,” Ranger Riewestahl said.

It’s raining, but ﬁres are still possible Rainy weather does not mean conditions are safe for debris burning. Light fuels, such as leaves, grasses and pine needles in sandy soils can dry out quickly turn into hazardous conditions in a matter of a day. Fire control officials stress the importance of knowing the local fire danger. Throughout the spring, DNR monitors the weather and fuel conditions daily. This in-

fluences the fire danger, most often communicated on Smokey Bear fire danger adjective level signs. Fire danger sign levels range from “low” to “extreme.” “The signs describe the potential for a fire to start and spread and the intensity at which a fire will burn in the wildland,” Ranger Riewestahl said. “Our hope is that the public will take note of these signs, check our website or hotline and adapt their behavior and act responsibly.”

‘Obtaining a burn permit is easy, fast and the best part is: they are free!’ Jay Riewestahl WDNR Ranger

Penalties exist for anyone found responsible for causing a wildland fire. “You could be liable for the costs it takes to suppress that fire and potentially any damages. Getting your permit and checking those daily fire restrictions is a much cheaper and safer option,” Ranger Riewestahl said. “To avoid these concerns altogether, consider composting your yard waste or hauling it to a transfer site. Burning debris should always be the last alternative.” As soon as the snow cover is gone, burning permits are required in DNR Protection Areas. Permit holders are authorized to burn vegetative materials, such as leaves, brush and pine needles and are designed so that burning is done safely with minimal wildfire risk.

Getting a burn permit is easy – and instant “Obtaining a burn permit is easy, fast and the best part is: they are free! For the average customer, it takes less than two minutes to go online and apply. It’s good for the calendar year and we can even email or mail it right away,” Ranger Riewestahl said. “With a little planning and dedication to getting your burn permit and following the rules, we can all work together to prevent wildfires.” You can obtain your annual DNR burning permit online at dnr. wi.gov, keyword “burn permit” or by calling 1-888-WIS-BURN (9472876) to have it mailed or instantly emailed. You also can visit a local DNR office or designated Emergency Fire Warden. Once an individual has a burning permit, he or she must call or go online after 11 a.m. on the day of the planned burn to check daily fire restrictions to hear the legal burning hours and size limitations or if burning has been suspended for the day. Some areas of the state are not regulated by DNR so it’s important to check with local municipal or fire department officials for any ordinances or other burning restrictions. With snow melting this late in the spring, vegetation dries rapidly. As noted by three fires that were ignited over the weekend in Burnett County, snow was on the ground only hours before the fires started. “The sun’s rays are at such low angles this time of year so more heat energy reaches the surface,” said Ranger Riewestahl. For more information on burning permits, fire danger and preparing for wildfires around your home and property, visit dnr. wi.gov search “fire.”

Billboards, They’re ubiquitous – everywhere. They’re designed to flash a message to passing drivers in a blink of an eye called an “impression.” The Burnett County Tourism Coalition (BCTC) hopes its billboard will make an impression on northbound I-35 drivers as part of a comprehensive marketing plan to attract more visitors and tourism revenue to the seven communities this side of the St. Croix River. “It’s a great way to make a splash,” says Emily Gall, BCTC’s marketing consultant. “Our marketing goal right now is brand awareness. We want to make sure people from the Twin Cities and the northern suburbs know that Burnett County and all we have to offer are just a short drive away.” The billboard is located 1.2 miles south of the Rock Creek/Grantsburg exit on the west side of I-35 at the 164-mile marker. It pictures four youngsters jumping into one of Burnett County’s many picturesque lakes. There are two lines of text: “Wisconsin’s Premier Northwest” and the website URL: burnettcountyfun.com. Gall, with input from BCTC board members, created the design. “The image was chosen because it conveys fun and the idea of making memories,” she explained. “In our research, we continually hear about the memories people made in our area as children. Those children grow up, and now we want them to think about making those memories with their children and grandchildren.” BCTC has a three month contract with Lamar Billboards: April through June. The funding for outdoor marketing is derived from fund-raising activities and a grant from the tourism grant program administered by the Natural Resources Committee of the Burnett County Board of Supervisors. After the design is submitted, graphic designers work to fit it onto a vinyl panel 13’ by 41’. The vinyl is printed in Colorado by a company that specializes in large formats. It is mounted on the wood backing using a 70-foot cherry picker and tension brackets. The days of painters or workmen on ladders gluing on huge strips of paper are long gone. According to Lamar, I-35 billboards receive an estimated 81,904 impressions a week. “We can extrapolate information from DOT traffic counts to calculate the number of impressions,” said Gall. “We are able to track visitors and the general location from which they’re accessing our website. All of that information comes together to determine the success of the outdoor marketing campaign.” The billboard is part of a multi-year BCTC marketing strategy that relies not only on large scale outdoor advertising, but also on social media, Google AdWords and print campaigns. “A robust social media campaign will piggyback off the billboard by using the same images and targeting the same geographic market,” says Gall. “You can’t just hit folks one time with your message these days – the advertising world is so cluttered.

Federal fraud and garbage along highways This weekend I finally got around to going outside. I found myself on the Gandy Dancer Trail trying to take some Earth Day pictures for the paper on Sunday. My leg and back are finally feeling somewhat normal, so I was hoping to get a little exercise, fresh air and sunshine on my face. While I was walking, a pretty serious looking bicyclist flew past me and a story from Friday popped into my head. Lance Armstrong will be paying $5 million to settle a federal fraud case. The claim was Armstrong defrauded the federal government Sentinel by using performance enhancing drugs while the United States Editor Postal Service was sponsoring his Jonathan Richie cycling team. My fondest memory of Armstrong is in the film “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” from 2004. In the movie, Vince Vaughn’s character is thinking about quitting on his dodgeball team at the National Competition in Vegas. He walks up to an airport bar where Armstrong is sitting. Armstrong knows Vaughn and is disappointed to hear that he’s quitting. Vaughn then gets pummeled by Armstrong’s story. “Once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer, all at the same time...But I’m sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying from that’s keeping you from the finals?” Does anybody reading this watch cycling or even care about the Tour de France? I know I don’t. It’s kind of like golf. Why would anyone watch it on TV? Armstrong is sort of like Tiger Woods. A winning anomaly in a sport that most people do not care about professionally. Another oddity from the weekend I noticed was how clean the Gandy was. It’s quite different from the phenomenon where I’m from. There are many things I miss from Milwaukee. One thing I do not miss is the look of the side of the highway when winter ends. It’s kind of like if along the highway the snow was a garbage bag, but when spring arrives the bag dissolves and the contents just sit there in place until all the snow is gone. It’s gross. The banks of US-45 are often full of garbage these days. An accumulation of junk; fast food wrappers, beer cans. It collects over the cold months with some of it having been there since the last time the county cut the grass. There were three pieces of trash on the Gandy. Clearly the Gandy and 45 don’t have the same amount of traffic, but it was nice to not see a bunch of trash from last year. Give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.

It is still spring fever in April? I believe I am suffering from snow lag. I think it’s kind of like jet lag, that feeling when you have traveled a long distance and your body’s internal clock is struggling to catch up. Your sleep is disrupted and you have a general feeling of weariness. I’m not a big traveler, but have From the Publisher’s experienced jet lag. When I flew Desk to the west coast, towards the end of Tom Stangl the first day, it hit lik a ton off bricks. Not pleasme like ant at all. With the month of April less than a week from ending, I think the “snow” lag might be going away. The snowfalls this month have been a beautiful thing to watch from the safety of your living room – not so much fun on the roads. My daughter and her golden retriever, Willy, came for a visit April 14. Willy loves to play ball and we usually spend lots of time outside. I throw, he makes athletic mid-air catches and returns the ball for more. We play for over an hour or more at a time with Willy

pausing when he needs a break, eating some snow to cool down. We play until he is tired or his paws are so snow-packed that we need to go inside and thaw out. He really enjoyed himself during the last snow. As I threw the ball while the snow continued to fall, I kept thinking that it seemed like December or January. It was difficult for me to remember that it was spring. Easter had passed (another snowstorm) and we would soon be in the merry, merry month of May. The lakes still have their ice (as well as an insulating layer of snow) and the longer evenings are more difficult to enjoy. What kind of Twilight Zone have we stumbled into? I was visiting with a person last week who said that the April 14-15 snow made her feel “like we were going to have a White Christmas.” I thought about it for a second and realized that she has said what I was feeling inside. But here’s the thing – Christmas was five months ago! Is this what a real-life version of the movie “Groundhog Day” is like? Have we been re-living the same month, over and over for nearly half a year? No wonder I feel tired! I hope this is the last time I write about these things for at least six

months. I’ve been thinking about the yard work that will need to be done and doing mental estimates of where I will deposit the ample sand that has accumulated in my car when I finally have a sunny day and dry driveway to get the work done. I think this is what now passes as spring fever. After the last snow, some people looking to make the best of a bad situation have been sticking artificial flowers in snowbanks, spray painting snow green and doing anything and everything to get us back to where we should be – spring. Hats off to these efforts. If nothing else, we can all get a good laugh out of the situation. Laughter is among the most recommended medicines for this type of problem. The alternative – griping about the weather — hasn’t worked for the past month, so it’s probably best to simply go with the flow. As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

That’s why I’m a supporter of Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin, bipartisan legislation to amend our state Constitution and give victims of crime equal rights in our legal system. I urge you to do the same. This is the right thing to do – it will help victims get justice, encourage more of them to come forward, and make all of our communities safer. If passed, Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin would place additional victims’ rights in the state Constitution and strengthen the rights that are already in it, so that victims’ rights are not automatically trumped in the courtroom by those of their attackers. For example, Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin would expand on victims’ current constitutional right to be heard, making clear victims will have a voice not just at disposition but at additional proceedings like bail, plea, and parole — any time the attacker could be released and the victim could be in danger. Marsy’s Law passed for the first time in the state legislature last year with a strong bipartisan vote. Senator Schachtner is new to the state sentate so she was not able to vote on Marsy’s Law. I would ask however, that she take the “I stand with crime victims pledge” to support fast passage of Marsy’s Law in 2019. In Wisconsin, we have a proud tradition of leading the way – and that includes victims’ rights. But a lot has changed and we need to take steps to make sure that victims of crime have rights equal to those of the criminals who attacked them. I encourage you to please join me in supporting Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin. Together we can make all the difference for our state! Tim DJock

To the Editor: If you will remember, 12 weeks ago, the iconic weather prediction kings, Punxsutawney Phil and Wisconsin’s own Jimmy (Nipper), the Sun Prairie Groundhog, both called for 6 more weeks of winter. What? Were the prognosticating rodents wrong or was it more involved than bad arithmetic or fake news? It was actually the Groundhog/Woodchuck’s revenge. You will recall that in the past year, the Republican controlled Legislature created a hunting season on these relatively harmless subterranean dwellers, so it seems they are having the last laugh. If groundhogs do laugh, they must be howling at what is coming out of Madison. While doing little or nothing to fix our failing infrastructure, adequately fund our rural schools, expand Medicare, encourage livable wages, address gun violence, increase protection of our natural resources, redraw non-partisan congressional district maps, seriously expand rural broadband or encourage local control of local issues, they spent the past years making sure we can blast groundhogs with military assault rifles! Now we learn that Western Wisconsin led the nation in Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies. The nation. Now, that’s some record to run on in the upcoming election season. As the snow finally melts away, and sounds of snowblowers, graders, and plow trucks fade, if you listen carefully out in the woods, you may hear a very faint snickering from the immerging groundhogs.

An Injustice at BCHS To the Editor: On March, 21, 2018, The Burnett County Historical Society held its monthly meeting where many members attended in order to inquire at to why the board -by a majority vote – fire the director of Forts Folle Avoine who served just one year. The BCHS (and myself as well) realize that it is vital for the success of the Forts to increase membership and revenue. Therefore, I would like to know has this been accomplished during the past year? If so, or at the very least, has remained stable, I don’t see the reason for the termination of the director. As an active volunteer and coordinator for the “Christmas at The Forts” I have found the director to be knowledgeable, creative, and extremely friendly. She created a warm and welcoming atmosphere which is critical for volunteerism and visiting guests! During the March 21 meeting, it was stated that many members feel three members on the Executive Board have created a caustic atmosphere resulting in members/volunteers of BCHS resigning. I am concerned that the toxic atmosphere and the termination of the director will cause more and more volunteers to leave, thus programs would be negatively impacted resulting in loss of membership and revenue! Therefore, I urge the BCHS Board to immediately reinstate the director and correct the “problem” with the Executive Board. Respectfully, Nancy Meindel

Why Is The Forts Folle Avoine in Trouble? To the Editor: On Wednesday, March 21, 2018, we attended the monthly board meeting of the Forts. Along with many other members of the Burnett County Historical Society, we voiced our collective concerns following the abrupt firing of the Director. We also raised the issue of our growing concerns about the questionable influence of a few members of the Executive Committee. Among the issues cited were, nepotism, a caustic environment, secret meetings, mismanagement of personnel, conflict of interest and “adjusting” meeting minutes and treasurer’s reports, micromanaging, little or no communication with the membership and a general lack of trust . So, now it’s one month later and nothing has changed. This lack of any response to the concerns raised tells me the Board is satisfied with the status quo. The entire membership needs to be made aware of these concerns which the board has not done. Volunteers have already begun to “resign” and funding will also decrease…Can the Forts realistically afford this to continue? Once again, I challenge the entire Board to look at the issues raised and make the hard decisions needed. What a sad, sad thing to have this wonderful historical site and all its programs and community spirit harmed by the actions of so few. Sharon A. Fischer Robert A.

Wow!

MADISON—Attorney General Brad Schimel recently suggested that tens of thousands of Wisconsinites were prevented from voting in the November 2016 election and that resulted in wins for President Trump and Senator Johnson. Let’s do the math: the margins of victory in these races were more than 22,000 votes for President and 99,000 votes for U.S. Senator. Is the Attorney General suggesting that without voter ID there would have been that many people in our state voting fraudulently, and all of them for the other candidates? If the problem is that widespread, why has neither Mr. Schimel nor any Attorney General before him been able to identify and prosecute a single case of voter impersonation in Wisconsin? We agree that the voter photo ID law has prevented Wisconsin citizens from voting - eligible citizens who have the full right to cast a ballot. We don’t know how many, but we do know they outnumber those who were ever found guilty of voter impersonation which is the argued purpose of the voter photo ID law. Wisconsin voters were prevented from exercising a fundamental citizen right by a law requiring an ID to vote that was unneeded and unfair from the start. As the top law enforcement officer of the state, Attorney General Schimel should provide substantiated proof to his claims rather than spuriously discrediting elections and disparaging Wisconsin voters. The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that promotes informed citizen participation at all levels of government. The League has women and men members across the state and 20 local Leagues that focus on making democracy work. Follow @LWV on Twitter.

New Supervisors ready for County Board JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Two new County Supervisors were sworn in to serve two-year terms on the County Board of Supervisors. Ed Fisher of District 8 ran as a write-in candidate receiving 14 votes. Steve Austin of District 21 ran and beat incumbent Larry Main in the spring election. The meeting was held on Tuesday instead of Thursday because of a state statute that says every year two of the County Board meetings must be held on Tuesday. “It was a good meeting,” Austin said of his first Board of Supervisors meeting. “We were appointed to our respective committees to serve on and I’m just ready to get to work.” Austin was elected to serve on the Natural Resources committee and the Health and Human Services committee. He does have experience in local government and hopes that knowledge helps him in his new role and the county level. “I believe that experience will help me,” Austin said. “I’m not starting from ground zero, so the knowledge I have should help.” He has served four terms as Webb Lake Town Chairman, is the President of the Webb Lake Men’s Club and is also a member of the Webb Lake Fire Department. Fisher also has local government

experience. “I served as the Supervisor for Daniels Township about eight years ago, so that will be helpful,” Fisher said. Fisher praised his predecessor Chuck Awe and hopes the people of District 8 will continue to support him. “My main goal is to try and fill Chuck’s shoes,” Fisher said. “He did a real nice job on the board.” Austin said that he wants the board to represent a clear openness and transparency throughout his term. “I’ll be looking at what is in the best interest of District 21,” Austin said. “Now that may be different than other districts and their goals. We have to make it work for the whole county, so it’s acceptable for everyone.” Austin and Fisher both said they were enthusiastic about the chance to serve on the county board. “I think the County Supervisors as a group have a very important role to help with the direction of the county, mainly with services and finances. In general they have done a good job,” Austin said. “I’m excited about this opportunity to serve on the county board.” In other items: The Board of Supervisors approved a policy for county employees to receive four weeks of paid maternity/paternity leave.

Purchase of Town Hall approved JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The Town of Grantsburg will hold the next election at their new town hall at 216 S. Oak Street in the Village of Grantsburg. Voters overwhelmingly approved the purchase of the building with a vote of 31 to 1. The Oak Street building is owned by local architect Craig Selander, who is selling the building but will continue his architect business out of his home office. The purchase agreement with the Town and Selander says they can close on the building on June 29 or sooner. The agreement says the building will be bought for $165,500. Their current town hall, on the corner of Highway 48-87 and Skog Road, was built in 1939. It does not have running water and it sits on watersheds on the north and west side, making renovating and expanded difficult. The one vote against the purchase came from Town Board Supervisor Tim Curtin. He did not give a reason for why he voted no. Town of Grantsburg Chairman Jim Paden said the money to purchase the building will be coming from the state trust fund by way of a 20-year loan. He

estimates the average cost to taxpayers in the town will be $15-20 annually. He described himself as “over-prepared” for the meeting. “I was tripping over my words while trying to give a detailed history of the building and explaining the move to them,” Paden said. “Then I realized this isn’t what the people are looking for, so I opened it up for discussion and questions.” Paden said it went very well after he answered all the questions. “We’re going to be able to hold our next election there in August,” Paden said joyfully. He said that their current town hall was on the agenda last year when the town was first asked about

building a new town hall. “We’re still in the process of disposing of the property,” Paden said. The Grantsburg Fairgrounds board is interesting in purchasing the building and relocating it onto the fairgrounds property, Paden said. But nothing has been formally motioned or approved yet. Paden said they are in no hurry to sell the building or the land and are willing to give the fairgrounds board time to put together their finances. If they don’t purchase the building or land, it will most likely be placed on the open market in the fall. “We are very happy about this opportunity,” Paden said. “This is going to be very good for us.”

came to the door and said, ‘I’m so dizzy.’” Shogren recalled. “She died right there on the steps after she collapsed on top of me.” Shogren said she dragged herself about 60 feet to her car but was unable to get up. She was on the ground for about an hour before help arrived. “When I was in the ambulance I was reciting all kinds of goofy poems all the way to the hospital,” she said. “They said to me, ‘we’ve transported a lot of people and no one has ever kept us that entertained.’” Shogren is a delightful poet. She has a composition notebook full of her poems and says at night is when she rights her best stuff. “I have the ability to look at people and really zero in on someone who could use some help,” she said. “I saw this women who looked a little down and I asked her if she would mind if I recited a poem.” Shogren recited a poem on the spot, that may have been written 20 years ago, perfectly she then starts laughing. “She then looked at me and said, ‘Thank you, I needed that,” Shogren said between chuckles. What’s next for Shogren? Along with her poetry she’s writing a book titled, My Life in a Nutshell. “I’ve got all of these poems ready to go, just looking for a publisher,” Shogren said. “I write my best stuff in the middle of the night for some reason, I honestly don’t know why.”

from when her younger brother Neal Magnuson, served in the Vietnam War. He entered the service when he was 16 years old after Donna’s father, Joe, signed his papers. The headlines read, “SEAL Magnuson is Decorated For Heroism” and “Local Man Instructs Virginia Police On Use Of Explosives.” Her older brother Dick Magnuson fought in the Korean War and her father-in-law Adolf Shogren fought in World War I. Donna’s son, Dan, served in the Navy for 13 and a half years. “My family is certainly full of men who have served this country,” Shogren proudly states. Shogren’s father was the first of the family to be born in Grantsburg same as Donna, her two children, two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. “I’m 79 and will be turning 80 this year,” Shogren admits. “But I’ve still got my memory, it’s all still there.” Shogren stated that the family is getting scarce. She said she plans on donating her genealogy material to the Burnett County Historical Society so it can be saved for future generations. “Burnett County has a long history with the Hyde family,” Shogren said. “It’s a story that should continue to be told.” Shogren started working with Meals on Wheels in 1978. “The lady that had been delivering to us said, ‘I can’t make this drive anymore,’” Shogren recalled. “I took on the route the next day and soon started working with my daughter on the route.” After that she worked at a retirement facility for 15 years, before retiring after taking a hard fall on some ice that required corrective surgery on her shoulder in 1997. She went back to working for Meals on Wheels until another fall in 2011. “The lady (I was delivering to)

Sitting down with Donna Shogren at Crexway Court is a pleasant adventure. She has lived in the Grantsburg area her entire life, worked with Meals on Wheels in the area and is a delightful poet. She also admits to having an odd sense of humor and shares a story about how her late husband Ruben, was never on time for anything. “He was in a class of his own. He was always late for everything,” Shogren said. “I used to tell him, ‘the only thing you’ll be on time for is your own funeral. And that turned out to be wrong.” Shogren tells the tale with periodic breaks for short giggles. Around 2 a.m. she was having incredible back pain so she got out of bed to put some ice on it. When Donna went back to the bedroom she saw her husband take two final breaths and that was the end. Ruben died after having a massive heart attack. Donna said a Higher Power was responsible for her back pain because if it had not been bothering her, she would have woken up next to his dead body. He had always wanted to be cremated and when his ashes were sent back up they were left at the Post Office. However, this was the same weekend that President Ronald Reagan died and the Post Office was locked. “So he was late for his own funeral in the end,” Shogren said with a giant smile. “He loved listening to country music and he had a hard time listening later on,” Shogren said. “So he would go out to the car and listen to his country music as loud as he could, just so he could hear it.” Shogren can trace her family back 14 generations with the last five all born in Grantsburg. With the help of her son, she has been able to find information about her family all the way back to before the Revolutionary war. “Jedidiah Hyde was born in 1738, Laura Roberts was born in 1838 and I was born in 1938,” Shogren said. “So I told my granddaughter that she needs to have a kid in 2038. She just turned 12.” Shogren said the Hyde family originated in Lake Champlain, Vermont with Jedediah Hyde and his log cabin, believed to be the oldest log cabin in the country. The cabin was built by Hyde after the war in 1783 and the family lived there for 150 years before turning the cabin over to the U.S. National Register of Historical Places. She acquired documents of Hyde during the Revolutionary War that were given to her by the Daughters of the American Revolution. These documents have narratives including President George Washington movements along with what Hyde was doing during the American Revolution. Donna also has news stories

Stress is something we all struggle with from time to time. Stress is simply the body’s natural response to the demands placed upon it; physically or emotionally speaking. Naturally, stress is a part of our daily lives as we navigate our family responsibilities, obligations within the workplace, and day-to-day challenges. In certain situations, such as a test or interview, stress can actually motivate us and help us perform better. However, all too often, the stress response is triggered too easily. When we face multiple stressors at one time or lack the coping skills necessary to deal with such intense stress – our own mental and physical health can be compromised. Stress is also one of the major causes for negative work performance and marriage difficulties. The symptoms of stress are built up over time. Taking practical steps to manage stress or even prevent some types of stress can reduce both physical and emotional drain. Recognize your stress: Know your signs of stress such as, difficulty sleeping, feeling “down,” or increased drug/alcohol use. Get outside: Increasing time outdoors naturally combats stress levels. Practice self-care: Prioritize activities that bring you joy and refuel your emotional reserves. Healthy sleep hygiene: Our bodies and minds require time to “recharge”. Ensuring a pattern of healthy sleep hygiene is commonly recommended. Relaxation strategies: Try a nature walk, exercise, yoga, a pilates/tai chi class. Stay social: Healthy relationships not only improves mood but also decreases stress. Find support: Seeking support from your partner, friend, pastor or counselor may be helpful in not only offering a listening ear but also releasing pressure and co-creating a plan to manage stress. Anyone experiencing severe stress can become overwhelmed and even unstable. If you or a loved one is having thoughts of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-2738255 OR Northwest Connections Crisis Center at 888-552-6642.

Cassie If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a clean, quiet roommate, she may be the one for you! Now that HSBC has taken in 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yes, 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kittens, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect time to talk a bit about fostering. Foster volunteers provide a home environment for pets of all ages while they await their forever homes. Foster homes provide for the daily needs and socialization of the shelter; HSBC provides for the medical care, support, and guidance along the way. There are several reasons shelter animals can benefit from being in a foster home. Not all animals thrive in a shelter environment. Loud noises, lots of strangers, living in relative confinement and isolation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all these things can stress out a pet. Like people, stressed animals are prone to getting sick or suffering behavior problems, and sensitive animals are especially prone to this. A foster home allows a pet to relax a bit in a more routine environment. Foster homes are wonderful places for animals who need a bit more medical care. Animals recovering from surgery or illness, heartworm treatments, or who may be hearing or sight impaired do better in a calmer home environment. They can put their energy toward healing rather than worrying about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on around them. And back to those kittens (and other babies). Foster homes that take in a pregnant or new mom provide her with a safe space to raise her young until they are ready for forever homes. Some foster families take in orphaned babies who need bottle-feeding. This important service gives orphans needed human contact during a critical time in their development, helping them to be confident adults. Foster families can choose when, how long, and who they wish to foster. Maybe bottle-feeding isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your thing, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be fine with a senior pet snoozing in your living room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or vice versa. If you think fostering may be your way to help, contact HSBC to fill out a foster family application. The Bark and Wine is coming up Saturday, April 28 from 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8 p.m. at the Webster Community Center. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about the great meal and company (although the lasagna sounds wonderful).

OBITUARY

Boyd Davis Sutton Boyd Davis Sutton died suddenly this past week following a 76-year love affair with life. He will be interred with military honors at the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Cemetery on Friday, A August 3, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. T The ceremony will be ffollowed by a memorial g gathering at the Sutton h home, where Boyd’s friends a and family are encouraged tto share their memories of tthe man they knew. Details tto follow. In lieu of flowers, Boyd w would be pleased if donattions were made to Planned P Pethood Plus (plannedpethoodplus.com), so Dr. Jeff Young “Rocky Mountain Vet” may continue his work to provide spay/neuter and other surgical veterinary services to pets at a fair price to the owners who love them Born in Arizona in 1941, Boyd lived all over the world with his parents, as his father served in various US government assignments, including Germany, England, Greece, Egypt, Lebanon, and Iran. This gave him only one full school year in the United States, his senior year of high school. Following four years at Pennsylvania Military College, where he graduated with honors and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Regular Army, Boyd served almost 11 years in the Army. His assignments included Hawaii, Vietnam (twice), Germany, and several years in the Washington, DC area. While in the Army, he earned two Bronze Stars, the Army Commendation Medal, and several other awards. Following a military assignment to the Central Intelligence Agency, Boyd resigned from the Army and joined the CIA, serving there for 27 years. He was an analyst, a manager of analysts, and held a variety of staff positions before being selected as a student at the National War College. Following his academic year at the War College, Boyd was assigned to the Europe and NATO Policy Directorate in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy. During this assignment, Boyd wrote several papers that helped shape NATO military planning and procurement policy. In 1983, his “Emerging Technology” papers outlined what later became the cornerstone of US military planning for the use of high technology on the battlefield of today. For this, he received the Defense Achievement Medal. Later, he wrote a paper for the Secretary of Defense that improved NATO procurement and plans for what US Senator Sam Nunn called “a successful conventional defense of Europe.” Boyd was awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal, the second highest Defense Department award for a civilian, and a personal letter of commendation from Senator Nunn. His career took a sharp zig after the Defense Department assignment when Boyd was asked to es-

tablish a new unit in the CIA for the evaluation of advanced technology programs. This was at the height of new investments — multiple billions of dollars — in new high-tech collection systems, and the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) needed analytics-based advice regarding the merit of various projects. In 1988, Boyd was selected again for an academic program, this time at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. In 1990, Boyd was recruited by the Director of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to become the deputy director of a new organization being set up within the NRO to evaluate acquisitions and plan for the future of the nation’s spy satellite systems. Boyd served as deputy in this new unit for two years then replaced the director and served there another two years. He was presented the “Pioneer of the New NRP” award upon his return to the CIA. For most of 1994, Boyd was assigned to the DCI’s Center for the Study of Intelligence, where he wrote a book, Space Reconnaissance After the Cold War, published in classified channels. Several of the recommendations in his book subsequently became policy and one resulted in the whole scale realignment of command and control relationships between national reconnaissance and support for military operations. Then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell, stated that, “This book hits the nail on the head and outlines the right course ahead.” His final job at the CIA was as director of the Programs and Policy Group, which included his former program evaluation unit plus the unit that established and monitored secrecy policy for Sensitive Compartmented Information and the release of compartmented information to allies and other foreign governments. Like his father before him, he received the Intelligence Medal of Merit as well as several Certificates of Distinction for specific projects. Boyd retired from the CIA in 1996, but came back immediately on contract to do a special job for the DCI. There was some arm - twisting involved, but how do you say “no” when the boss says, “You’re the only guy I trust to do this job?” The assignment was Boyd’s hardest – and his most disappointing. He was tasked to establish an effective, but resource – limited program for adequately monitoring what people called “the rest of the world” – or Global Coverage. This was at a time when most resources were going to the fight against global terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, drug trafficking, and the ongoing need to monitor potential adversaries in Russia, China, North Korea, and other particularly dangerous countries. Boyd established such a program, but it was not widely accepted by the Intelligence Community until a few years later. Boyd was happy to escape to Wisconsin and genuine retirement when he and Carmen returned to Carmen’s family farm on Big Dunham Lake, where they built their retirement home for themselves, two dogs, and two horses. Carmen took up landscaping and gardening and continued her trail riding, while Boyd began writing

just for fun. He joined the Northwest Regional Writers and the Yarnspinner’s critique group. His first article, a humorous take on living in far northwest Wisconsin close to the Twin Cities and so far from Madison, was published in two local papers and circulated as far as Madison, eliciting comments from a number of politicians, including the lieutenant governor. In 2003, he entered and won First Place in the Florence Lindemann Humour contest sponsored by the Wisconsin Regional Writer’s Association. In 2005, he became the editor of the Wisconsin Regional Writer, a newsletter and writing outlet for members of the statewide Wisconsin Regional Writer’s Association. He took Third Place in the 2005 Al P. Nelson Feature Article Contest for his essay on Eunice Kanne, a remarkable 97-yearold fellow writer. Boyd was always proud of his service to America. He believed in God, country, family, and what he called “my people.” He always told those around him that any person’s real legacy was what he left behind in the people he knew. Boyd seldom missed his daughters’ school programs or parent-teacher conferences and, while he spent a lot of time at the office, he also made quality time with his family. He always gave extra time at work to teach those around him, believing that his own success was measured more by how well “his people” did than by the size or success of programs and projects he was responsible for. Even in retirement, Boyd believed that helping others was more important than his own success. He tried hard to support fellow writers and loved the interaction with them at least as much as the writing itself. Boyd believed that integrity was more important than any other personal characteristic, and he practiced what he preached. He was proud to hear from his son-in-law, who, upon listening to speakers at Boyd’s CIA retirement ceremony said, “I’ve never heard the word ‘integrity’ mentioned so many times in such a short time.” Boyd was surely sad to leave his wife, daughters, and grandchildren, and sad to leave so many writing projects unfinished. But he was happy to know that he always placed people first, things somewhere else. He knew that he faltered here and there, as we all do, but he always strove to give his best. Boyd wrote his own epitaph: “Here lies a man Who did his best For his God, his country, His family, and his people. He is at peace.” He is survived by Carmen Hable Sutton, his wife and best friend for the past 50 years; their two married daughters, Kirsten Sutton Harris (Tony) and Sara Sutton Reed (Wil); three granddaughters: Kate, Julia, and Allie; and two grandsons, Spencer and Ben.

LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;On Saturday, April 21, the Spooner-Grantsburg branch of Regional Hospice Services (RHS) hosted their 19th annual Spring Fling Gala. As one of the attendees remarked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the name must have been the key to kick-start the weather.â&#x20AC;? It certainly helped to make the fundraising event a success. Executive Director Lynda Anderson noted that it was their largest crowd yet, with over 270 registered. While providing a fun event and raising money for their programs, Anderson said the focus for her and the staff is to educate people on the various services RHS can offer. RHS is a non-profit, community-based organization that works with healthcare professionals to serve patients with terminal illnesses. With locations in Ashland, Hayward, Spooner/Grantsburg, and Ironwood, Michigan, RHS has been providing patients with end of life care since 1991. The volunteers and staff of RHS are committed to providing not only physical care but meeting the spiritual, psychological, and social needs of patients and families. They provide individualized, compassionate support, and enable death with dignity as a completion of life. As part of this, RHS offers grief support, speakers on related topics, and Catch a Dreamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;where staff and volunteers fulfill a special request of the patient. Anderson sums it up this way, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbors helping neighbors. We are

local staff and volunteers. They all live within 50 miles of the area. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a neighbor, a friend that we have the privilege of being able to help.â&#x20AC;? Volunteers are a large part of RHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hospice team. Volunteers support patients and families by helping out with everyday needs such as running errand, preparing meals, and doing light housekeeping. They may also stay with a patient while families attend to other things, and lend emotional support and companionship. Pat Wynn of Siren is one of the Spooner-Grantsburg local volunteers. Her career as a hospice volunteer began seven years ago and was prompted by seeing the care her mother received as

a hospice patient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff is so wonderfully personal and private,â&#x20AC;? Wynn shared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are deliberately kind, and that makes it a pleasure to serve the community.â&#x20AC;? Wynn shared that the staff and volunteers go where the work is. It is typical for Wynn to drive anywhere in the coverage area to assist families. Anderson confirmed that the volunteers and staff put in a lot of drive time, citing that the nursing staff out of the Spooner office put on 58,000 miles last year for patient care. The Spring Fling Gala featured raffles, silent auction items, a catered meal, and entertainment by The Replacements. Approximately 172

Play Ball... ﬁnally! Pirates win home opener The Lakers were not about to go away, and answered with four runs of their own in the top of the third inning. Uncharacteristically, the Pirates committed three fielding errors this inning to help the Lakers along. But, the Pirates ended the inning on an impressive double play, when right fielder Glover caught a flyball then drilled it to first base to pick off the runner and end the inning. The score was now 6-5. The Pirates would add four more runs in the bottom of the third to make it a 10-5 game. This would end the scoring for the game as both teams tightened up their defense for the remainder of the game. Grantsburg recorded 10 runs on 10 hits. Johnson led the Pirates with three hits on four at bats, and three runs. Glover had one hit and three RBI’s. The Pirates put three pitchers in the circle for the game. Cassidy Chenal got the start, striking out two in two innings. She was followed by Rylee Hoffman who pitched two innings and Johnson finished out the game. The Pirates will host Unity on Thursday night before heading to Eau Claire on Saturday for a couple of games.

GRANTSBURG—The spring softball season finally got underway in Grantsburg on Monday night as the Pirates played host to the Shell Lake Lakers, recording their first conference win of the season, 10-5. This game was originally scheduled to be played in Shell Lake, but their field was not ready to go yet. “Tonight’s game was changed to Grantsburg because their field was not ready. We will play the next round at Shell Lake,” Pirate assistant coach Steve Johnson said. “According to conference special rules, tonight is the only game that will count toward conference standings. The next game will somehow be called a non-conference game.” The Pirates got on the board first, scoring two in the first inning. Kenna Johnson led off with a double down the right field line to get things rolling. Next, Brooke Quimby reached on an error followed by a walk by Emma Quimby to load the bases with no outs. Rachel Glover stepped to the plate and reached on an error, scoring two runs to put the Pirates up 2-0.

Grantsburg shortstop Brooke Quimby attempts to make a tag on a Shell Lake runner in the Pirates’ home opener on Monday night.

In the top of the second, the Lakers would get their first score of the night. After a strikeout, their second batter hit a line drive for a double. She would score later on a passed ball to bring the

game within one at 2-1. Grantsburg added four runs in their half of the second inning off of three hits by Johnson, Glover and Rachel Tooze to make it a 6-1 game.

Tigers sweep at Edgerton BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

EDGERTON—“We were able to take advantage of the weather finally warming up in the state and take a long trip to find a playable field” exclaimed Tiger coach Jarrod Washburn following the three wins in the far southern part of the state. “It was a very long day of baseball but very proud of the guys and how hard they played right until the last out.” The Tigers blanked Edgerton 10-0, then defeated Deerfield twice, 6-0 and 6-1. “We did a lot of very good things on the day, led by how well we pitched. Twenty combined innings and only allowing seven hits is outstanding. Six different kids took the mound on the day and every one of them threw quality pitches.” Hunter Rosenbaum started game one (the Edgerton game) and went five scoreless innings, allowing three hits, walking one and striking out eight. Carsen Stenberg finished in relief, with no run or hits allowed, not allowing one batter to reach first base. Austin Spafford had three hits, all singles, and drove in one run.

SUBMITTED

Freshman Owen Washburn got his ﬁrst varsity win for the Tigers in a win over Deerﬁeld.

Trenton Wols went two for three, a single and a home run, getting four RBI’s in the game. Carsen Stenberg also hat two hits. Jack Washburn went six-plus innings in game two (the first Deerfield game). He allowed one hit, walked three and struck out nine. Caleb Pardun finished up, pitching a perfect two-thirds of an inning. Washburn was three-for-three at the plate with two RBI’s. Brad Sigfrids had two hits with an RBI and Spafford also had two hits. Hunter Gustafson had two RBI’s. Owen Washburn started game three and went four innings. Only two hits and a single run came in off Washburn. Trevor Gustafson went three innings and allowed only one hit. Both Washburn and Gustafson had three walks and six strike outs. Sigfrids belted a two-run homer in this game and had a total of three RBI’s. The Gustafsons,’ Trevor and Hunter, each had two hits. “Our three starters, Hunter, Jack and Owen did a great job of setting the tone in each game and the guys who came in relief did exactly what we needed them to do, come in and throw strikes.” SEE TIGERS ON PAGE 19

TIGERS: pick up three more wins CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

Caleb Pardun lays down a bunt for the Tigers.

“Defensively, I was very happy with how well we played. We made a few highlight reel plays, namely that diving catch in the outfield by Carsen for the last out of game two and an incredible double play in the third game. We will have a hard time topping those two defensive plays this year. To play three games with only one error for the whole day, while still not having an outdoor practice for the year, is very impressive.” “Offensively, I think we did some really good things and everybody showed flashes of who they can be. We just need to be a bit more consistent game to game with our quality swings.

Three home runs on the day is obviously the highlight, but we did a lot of little things like getting bunts down and moving runners over that I was most proud of.” “All in all, it was great to be able to get out and play some games. Everybody in the state I’m sure is very tired of being stuck in gyms, so it’s great to see the weather look like it has finally turned the corner. I also would like to thank the school and everyone involved with the decision making for all their flexibility. They are allowing us to juggle our schedule this season for these boys. It’s been a hectic season with this crazy weather and our school has been outstanding in allowing us to try and be creative with our scheduling.”

Spring sports in northern Wisconsin can create challenges, but that doesn’t stop fans from ﬁnding creative ways to enjoy the games. Softball parents in Grantsburg climbed atop the giant snowbanks along the fence line to watch the girls scrimmage against Pine City on Friday night. Some, like Chad Oachs (above, left) really settled in to claim the perfect view.

Preparing now for tornadoes and severe weather saves time later ADAPTED FROM AN ARTICLE BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

The National Weather Service and Wisconsin Emergency Management are asking residents to go over their safety plans so that they will be ready when severe weather hits. Wisconsin averages 23 tornadoes per year, with most tornadoes occurring between May and August. June usually has the highest number of tornadoes. In 2005, there were a record 62 tornadoes! Last year, 23 tornadoes were reported in Wisconsin, with ten tornadoes hitting east-central Wisconsin on June 14 alone. Most tornadoes happen during the mid-afternoon or in the early evening. The average tornado lasts 7-10 minutes, travels 4-6 miles, and the damage along that path can be about 120 yards wide. Other hazards of spring and summer weather are powerful, straight-line thunderstorm winds that can exceed 60 mph and large hail. Wisconsin gets a few storms each year that generate hurricane-force winds of at least 75-100 mph. The National Weather Service issues Severe Thunderstorm Warnings for these wind events as well as for storms with hail of at least one inch in diameter. Wisconsin Emergency Management recommends having a plan for what to do in case of severe weather. When a Thunderstorm Watch or Tornado Watch has been issued, pick a reliable source of information and keep in touch

METRO CREATIVE

with that source until the threat of severe weather has passed. One of the best tools is a NOAA Weather Radio, also known as an Emergency Weather Radio. You can find more information about NOAA Weather Radios here: http://readywisconsin.wi.gov/tornado/weather_radios.asp. When you hear a tornado warning, find shelter immediately. If you are at home or in a building, move to a shelter space you have chosen, such as a basement, and get under a sturdy table or the stairs. If you do not have a basement, move to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy table or desk or cover yourself with blankets or pillows. Stay away from windows, and put as many walls as possible between you and the storm.

If you are in a mobile home or caught outdoors, seek shelter in a sturdy building. If you cannot walk to a shelter quickly, get into a vehicle, buckle your seatbelt, and drive to the closest sturdy shelter. If debris starts flying while you are driving, pull over and park. Either stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on and place your head below the windows, or, if you can safely get to a point that’s noticeably lower than the roadway, get out of the vehicle and lie in that area, covering your head with your hands. Do not seek shelter under an overpass. You can find more information about tornado and severe weather preparedness on Wisconsin Emergency Management’s Website: http://ready.wi.gov/tornado/default.asp and http://ready.wi.gov/ tornado/sever_weather_watch.asp.

North Country Independent Living is celebrating its 30th anniversary! In January of 1988, a handful of people came together in northwest Wisconsin, guided by a vision that people with disabilities had a right to lives of dignity, accessibility and inclusion. As the result of that meeting and with the vision, support and sponsorship of Catholic Charities Bureau, North Country Independent Living was incorporated on March 22, 1988, with a mission to empower people with disabilities to live as independently as possible in our communities. Over the last three decades, we’ve grown from a staff of three people serving six counties to a staff of 17 people serving eight counties and four tribal communities. When we began, we offered the four core services that anchor the independent living philosophy: Information and Referral, Advocacy, Peer support and Independent Living Skills Training. We’ve expanded to include a fifth core service, Transition, helping people in nursing homes and other institutions to return to their homes, and assisting youth with disabilities as they transition into adulthood, be it the workplace or post-secondary

education. In 1988, the Americans with Disabilities Act was still a dream. It was legal to refuse to hire people with disabilities who were otherwise qualified for jobs. There was no guarantee that polling places

‘A lot has changed over the last three decades, and we’ve been a big part of that change. We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go!’ would be accessible so that people with disabilities could exercise their right to vote, or that public transportation would be accessible so that people could ride the bus, or that restaurants and theaters would be accessible so that people could enjoy dinner and a movie. A lot has changed over the last three decades, and we’ve been a big part of that change. Today you

can vote in an accessible location with an accessible voting machine. City buses have lifts, and streets have usable curb cuts. People with disabilities are in the workplace, in public office, own businesses and have begun integrating into every aspect of community and public life. We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go! Mark your calendars now to join us on to celebrate North Country’s first 30 years. Tuesday, May 15, join us at the St. Croix Tribal Center Gym in Hertel from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. On Friday, August 3 we’ll be at Larsen Family Public Library in Webster, 7401 Main St. West, from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. We will have cake, coffee and plenty of information about all of our various programs and services that help people with disabilities live full and productive lives. We’re looking forward to the next 30 years! For more information, you can call Angie Musolf at 715-392-9118 ext. 116 or go to www.northcountryil.org

Tips to improve remembering

Wisconsin, watch for new Medicare IDs BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM (FOR REPRINT)

BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM (FOR REPRINT)

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that it will start mailing the new Medicare cards with the new Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) in April 2018. The cards will be mailed out in phases by geographic region. Wisconsin Medicare beneficiaries can expect to receive their new cards after June 2018. The new Medicare cards are still red, white, and blue, but they no longer have your Social Security number, gender, signature, or other personal information that could compromise your identity. Each person who is enrolled in Medicare will receive a new card with his or her new MBI. The MBIs are 11 characters long, and they are randomly assigned so that there is no connection to your other personal data. Here is the mailing schedule: · Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia: April-June 2018 · Alaska, American Samoa, California, Guam, Hawaii, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon: April-June 2018 · Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wisconsin: After June 2018 · Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont: After June 2018

METRO CREATIVE

· Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina: After June 2018 · Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming: After June 2018 · Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Virgin Islands: After June 2018 Before the mailing begins, you should make sure Medicare has your correct address. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be preparing and mailing the cards. If you need to update your address, you can contact SSA at ssa.gov/myaccount or by calling 800-772-1213. Make sure to check your mailbox regularly until your new card arrives. At the latest, you will receive your new card by December 2019. You should continue to use the Medicare card you have now until you receive

your new one in the mail. Once your new card arrives, you should destroy your old Medicare card and start using your new card right away. Remember: you should only give your new MBI to doctors, pharmacists, other health care providers, your insurance company, or people you trust to work with Medicare on your behalf. CMS will not call or email you about your new card – you will only receive information by postal mail. Beware of anyone who contacts you about your new Medicare card. Scammers have already tried to trick beneficiaries into providing personal information or paying money for their new cards. Your new card is free. If anyone calls or emails you about your new or old Medicare number, hang up or delete the message.

We all forget or misplace things. It may not be Alzheimer’s, dementia, or signs of old age. It’s probably not even a “senior moment.” Instead, you may just need some tips for remembering everyday things! To remember something you need to take with you: Take the thing that needs to leave the house and stick in it a plastic bag or tote, then hang that bag right on the inside doorknob of the door you usually walk out of. To remember where you parked: As soon as you park, look to see what section you’re in. Create a mental snapshot. If you’re in section 3D, imagine three dogs chasing each other around your car. Or, take an actual snapshot with your camera phone! You may also, without fail, park under a light post. To keep from forgetting something you’re carrying around: If you’re in the habit of leaving your umbrella or scarf behind, put it on top of something that will move when you get up to go, such as your chair or your purse. To remember the things you always leave the house with: Make up a mantra composed of three items that you typically misplace. For example, you could hum (in your head) “phone, keys, purse” to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” or another simple song. To remember where you place your wallet/keys every time: The next time you put something down somewhere, pause a moment to notice where you’ve placed it, and then in your mind blow it up. Literally. Blow it up in your head. If you visualize the explosion in enough detail, you won’t forget where you put it. To remember to turn something off: Most of the time you probably do turn off the stove, the coffeepot, and the iron. But if you find yourself frequently guessing or sometimes truly forgetting, make an effort to be mindful of the critical moment when you flip the switch. Say out loud, “Oven is off.” “Iron is unplugged.” To remember everything on your grocery list: Make up a story using the items you need - the more absurd and dramatic, the better. “A chicken was eating cornflakes when a car burst through the wall. A monkey was driving, throwing oranges out the window; he honked wildly as he drove off a cliff into a lake filled with milk…” The narrative will take you from item to item until you reach the end of your list.

Walking prescriptions for common health issues BY SARA ALTSHUL AARP BULLETIN

Walking can help your blood pressure, sleep patterns, mood and more. A walk is a proven way to treat a host of ailments, but not everyone should take the same path. Here’s what the experts recommend: High blood pressure: 25-35 minutes; moderate pace How walking helps: It can lower blood pressure, according to a 2010 review of 27 (medical) trials on the topic. A 2016 report by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute found that walking reduces your risk for coronary artery disease. Walking Rx: Shoot for at least 1.75 miles at 3 to 4.5 mph most days of the week to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, says Paul T. Williams, a life sciences researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif. Arthritis: 5-30 minutes; leisurely pace How walking helps: It strengthens the muscles that support joints, helps you shed pounds and reduces joint stiffness. In a 2015 review of 54 studies, researchers concluded that walking, like other exercise, was as effective as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief. Walking Rx: Leigh F. Callahan, associate director of the Thurston Arthritis Research Center at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, recommends starting with five minutes of walking and building up to 30 total minutes per day — at once or in separate walks — for five days per week. If the pain is worse two hours after the walk than it was before the walk started, take a less intense walk the next time. Osteoporosis: 30 minutes; leisurely pace How walking helps: Walking helps preserve bone. Walking Rx: Try to walk 30 minutes a day, five days a week. “Three 10-minute walks a day are as bone-strengthening

METRO CREATIVE

as one 30-minute walk,” says Andrea J. Singer, M.D., of the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Depression: 20-30 minutes; varied pace How walking fast helps: It increases the production of serotonin, dopamine and other brain chemicals that lift your

Are You Heading for a Fall? One in four people age 65 or older has a fall each year. Don’t be one of them and take the upcoming Stepping On Workshop through the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin Tuesdays from 9 – 11 a.m., June 5 through July 17 at Golden Oaks Apartments in Frederic. Like many people, you may not realize you are at risk for being injured by a fall. You might think that falls only happen to frail, older adults, or that falls are a normal part of aging. Don’t let these myths keep you from facing your fears and learning to prevent falls. Now is the time to take steps to prevent a fall if you: •Are 60 or older, •Have fallen in the past year—even if you weren’t injured, •Have a fear of falling, •Live at home or in an independent apartment. Space is limited so registration is required and can be completed by calling Carrie at the ADRC at 877-4852372. Start Stepping On today!

mood, says John B. Arden, author of The Brain Bible. Walking Rx: Start with 10 minutes of strolling, then walk briskly to 75 percent of your maximum effort — a pace that makes talking difficult. Keep that up for two or three minutes, then resume a strolling pace. Repeat these intervals for

20 to 30 minutes. Insomnia: 15+ minutes; relaxed pace How walking helps: Morning walks expose your body to essential early daylight. “Bright light inhibits the body’s secretion of melatonin, our natural sleep agent. When you block melatonin in the morning by walking outside, it then bounces back later in the day, helping to promote sleep,” says Donald W. Greenblatt, M.D., director of the Medicine Sleep Center at the University of Rochester in New York. Late-afternoon walks can also help, as we sleep best when our bodies are in cooldown mode. Walking Rx: In the morning or the late afternoon, aim for a 15- to 30-minute walk. It’s best if you can walk daily. Walk at a comfortable pace, and finish your walk at least three hours before bedtime. Be patient: Some evidence suggests that it can take a couple of weeks to get the full sleep benefit of exercise, so don’t be disappointed if you are not experiencing an immediate effect, Greenblatt says. Type 2 Diabetes: 45 minutes; relaxed pace How walking helps: It provides better blood sugar control, especially as we get older and become more resistant to insulin. The benefits are immediate, says Robert Gabbay, M.D., chief medical officer at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. Walking after eating sweets can prevent a blood sugar spike. Walking Rx: Walk for 15 minutes at an easy pace (about 3 mph or so) about a half-hour after breakfast, lunch and dinner. Research shows that short postmeal walks, three times a day, were as effective as one 45-minute walk in improving blood sugar control over 24 hours. If you haven’t walked for a while, start out with a five- or 10-minute walk after each meal. Because people with diabetes can develop foot infections due to reduced blood flow to the feet, it’s important to get properly fitted for walking shoes. Your podiatrist can help.

Chasing perfection

Pastor Kobi Phillips New Hope Lutheran

Do you chase perfection? I have, and still do at times. There is often pressure from parents or other loved ones to be perfect. There is pressure at work to complete our tasks perfectly, and if you have ever played sports there is pressure from the coach to execte the perfect play. The truth of the matter is that we as human beings are incapable of being perfect. God made us and he knows that about us. If we examine our own desire for perfection we will usually find it is either pride or

fear-based. In the Bible if we examine the people God used for his work we will find flawed imperfect people, just like us. The Apostle Paul in Phillippians 3:12 admitted that he was not perfect. However, God has given us a way to be perfect in his eyes. Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way is not pride or fear-based but love-based. He has given us his son Jesus, that anyone who believes in him is redeemed, made flawless and perfected in the eyes of God. We still live in imperfection while we

are here on earth but can continue to grow closer to God and have better lives. The perfection will be completed upon our physical death when we go to be with God in perfect bodies in his perfect Kingdom for eternity. I recently found a quote from Michael J. Fox which says â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; but perfection is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business.â&#x20AC;?

Three Siren students headed to National competition in Atlanta BY ABBY KOSLOSKI AND AMY STANFORD

This past year, Rylee O’Brien served on the state council as the Vice President of Public Relations for Wisconsin FCCLA. During the State Conference, Rylee helped to plan and speak at the opening and closing ceremonies and organize the event. Karlee Sybers is currently serving as a Regional Representative for FCCLA. She helped to aid room consultants during Star Events

and attended meetings throughout the conference. Amy Stanford, Abby Kosloski, and Rylee O’Brien will be advancing to the National Leadership Conference in Atlanta this June. Amy and Abby competed in Promote and Publicize FCCLA where they worked throughout the year to let others know what FCCLA is, and what it has to offer. Rylee competed in an event called Recycle and Redesign where she reused old prom dresses and upcycled them into a new business dress. Rylee also received the highest score in her category and was awarded a scholarship from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.
