Man accused of beating grandmother is sentenced to prison BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL
WEBSTER— A Webster man faces seven years in prison and five years extended supervision in a case that began over 13 months ago. Jacob T. Widmyer, now 27, was taken into custody in April 2016 at the Webster home of his grandmother with whom he was living at the time. Widmyer was reported to have beaten his grandmother after she refused to grant him cash that he demanded. According to the complaint, his grandmother attempted
to call the police but Widmyer grabbed the phone and began to beat her, causing several injuries including shattered eye sockets and lacerations on Jacob T. Widmyer multiple parts of her body. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a 65-year-old female who had been severely beaten. Deputies were able to rescue the victim from the residence by helping her escape

through a window. She was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, then airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital for treatment of serious injuries. Widmyer had barricaded himself in a bedroom and refused to cooperate with officials. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team was called for assistance. Team members removed Widmyer from the house after continued attempts to get him to surrender had failed. Widmyer was drunk and high at
MADISON—Former Burnett County Circuit Court Judge and Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman announced Thursday he will complete his 10-year term but not run in the Spring 2018 Supreme Court election. “Today, I announce it is my intention not to seek re-election to t the t Wisconsin Supreme Court,” Gableman said. G “I make this announcement with a heart filled with gratiw t tude to the people of the great s state of Wisconsin for permitt ting me to serve them in public o ce for the past 23 years, inoffi c cluding the past 18 years in elecMichael Gableman tive office. “Ten years ago, I began my campaign for the Wisconsin Supreme Court by setting out a vision based on the rule of law—that judges ought to apply the law rather than make it. The people of Wisconsin agreed with this vision, and I defeated an incumbent justice for the first time in 41 years and won 60 of our state’s 72 counties. “Serving on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the last nine years has been my great privilege. In decisions large and small, I have fulfilled my promises and put my judicial philosophy into practice. I trust the people of Wisconsin will elect a successor who is similarly committed to the rule of law. “In addition to my regular duties on the Court, I have been especially gratified by the opportunities conferred upon me by way of my assignments as the Court’s Liaison to the Tribal Courts, the Access to Justice Commission, and the Business Courts. Beyond my opinions, I have worked hard to improve the administration of justice throughout Wisconsin. Though many thanksgivings are due, I want to offer special thanks to my colleagues on the court, past and present. It has been a privilege to engage with such capable people in the collaborative search for justice through law as the sacred mission it is. Through robust discussion, debate, and sometimes disagreement, my colleagues have been hard working, intelligent, and dedicated to the application of the law as they saw it.
‘Thank you, Burnett County’
Finally, my heart will always have a special place for the people of Burnett County, who in 2002

‘Lifting the cloud’ of diabetes with a special dog BY TOM STANGL PUBLISHER
Since her diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes in 2009, Madyi Stangl has felt that the disease has “placed a cloud” on her life – limiting her ability to travel and live life. But that cloud has lifted, thanks to a special golden retriever named Willy. Willy is a diabetes assistance dog that was given to Stangl by “Can Do Canines,” a New Hope, Minn., based non-profit organization that trains dogs to help people who live with diabetes, autism, seizures, hearing loss and mobility issues. Madyi and Willy “graduated” in a class of 14 on June 10. Willy can detect changes in Stangl’s blood sugar levels by scent. He alerts Madyi to high or low blood sugar levels by touching her with his paw. If she doesn’t respond, he will whine or whimper and eventually do whatever he needs to do to get her attention. He is trained to bring glucose tablets or even a cell phone to Stangl. Recently, Stangl had a “scary” low of 34 during the night. When she failed to respond to Willy’s touches, he laid over her body until she woke up. She then checked her blood sugar levels and ate food to bring her levels back up to normal, saving her life. Can Do Canines has produced nearly 600 teams of dogs and their human companions since opening in 1989, according to Client Services Coordinator Sarah Schaff. The organization can give away the dogs, which are sold by other organizations for $20,000 or more, because of volunteers and many donors, Schaff says. Funding comes from donations from individuals, companies and grants. Schaff reports that the organization does not receive any state or federal funds, relying solely on donations, fundraisers and bequests.

Madyi Stangl and her diabetes assistance dog, Willy. The team graduated from training June 10, and Stangl says the dog has improved her life.
Puppies are bred in a cooperative program with other certified service dog organizations, raised by volunteers and many receive their initial training in six Minnesota and two Wisconsin prisons. Schaff notes that the prison environment is good for the dogs as well as the inmates.
“It gives dogs a 24/7 taste of what life will be like when they are working,” she says, adding that there are many studies pointing to the therapeutic benefits for the inmate handlers as well. The organization has a screening process to find suitable candidates to match with dogs that are in the system or are in training. It takes two years to raise and train a dog to be an assistance animal, Schaff says. Madyi lives ub Minneapolis and works as the Operations Lead for the University of Minnesota Physicians, and Willy accompanies her to work as well. He even alerted a diabetic co-worker to a low blood sugar level. Stangl grew up with dogs and reports that having Willy around is like “having a big security blanket that I carry with me all the time.” She is now more confident as well. “Even though I’m going to continue on as this girl with this physical reminder of my disability, I’m a little prouder because I’m able to shed light on diabetes. Diabetes is an invisible illness, but it is something that needs to be seen because it’s not something to be taken lightly,” she says. Even though Willy is a beautiful and friendly dog, Stangl asks that people should refrain from touching him or any other assistance dog without permission of the owner. “When we are out in public and Willy is wearing his vest, it’s important not to make eye contact or distract him,” Stangl says. “He is working for me, and if he gets distracted, he stops working and that could be dangerous.” Schaff says that Can Do Canines is in need of volunteers to raise and train labrador, collie and poodle puppies for two years and return them to the company for further training.

Fourth of July in Siren and ATVs SIREN—The Village of Siren has set parking changes in effect for the July 4 all-day celebration and fireworks. There will be no parking on Ellis Avenue to keep it open for through traffic. Parking will be available at various locations including the hockey rink parking lot on 1st Ave and the old Fourwinds Market parking lot on Hwy 35. Siren Police and Village Board remind the public to be safe and keep in mind the volume of people that will be present and travelling through Siren during the weekend.
ATV routes considered In other news, Siren has seen an influx of ATV operators traveling on the designated roads. With this in mind, Siren hopes to amend some ATV ordinances. At the next Burnett County Board of
Supervisors meeting they will be discussing a request from the Town of Siren to open a portion of County Road B to ATV traffic. The Town of Siren is requesting that County Road B from Lind Road to the Village of Siren limits be open to ATV traffic. This request has already been discussed at a County Infrastructure Committee meeting.
The Public Safety Committee of the Village of Siren is recommending that the Village of Siren Board also petition the Burnett County Board of Supervisors to open up County Road B from the Village limits to Third Avenue. This request will be brought to the July 6th Village of Siren Board meeting and if approved then sent to the Burnett County Board of Supervisors for discussion at the County level.
Wayne’s in Webster restructures parking lot WEBSTER— In late May, Wayne’s Foods Plus contracted Taylor Paving to restructure the parking lot at the Webster location. The project is days away from completion. “Taylor Paving. They do a good job,” said Wayne’s General Manager Rick Estridge. The previous entrance is in the pro-
cess of being closed off and a new entrance was constructed at the southern most edge of the property. The new opening allows for better traffic flow in and out of the grocery store and on and off Highway 35. The parking lot was reshaped, resurfaced and repainted. The project should be complete by the end of this week.

Lawmakers attempt to rise to the occasion for home bakers BY WISPOLITICS.COM
MADISON—Amid all the controversy over the state budget, lawmakers are debating another hot and sticky issue: baked goods. The Republican Assembly Speaker has even called the legislation first introduced by Sen. Shiela Harsdorf the “Bakery Freedom Act.” The latest round in this bake off came in late May when LaFayette County Judge Duane Jorgenson overturned a ban on selling homemade baked goods in the state. The judge in Darlington ruled in favor of three women who had challenged a state law they say made it impossible for home bakers to legally sell their treats. The Institute for Justice, a libertarian law firm, argued the women’s case against the law, which required bakers to obtain a license, submit to inspections and pay fees. A news release from the firm pronounced on June 1: “Wisconsin became a little freer, and a lot more delicious, after a Lafayette Circuit Court judge struck down the state’s ban on selling home-baked goods as unconstitutional. Wisconsin was one of only two states to ban entrepreneurs like Lisa Kivirist, Kriss Marion and Dela Ends from selling cookies, cakes, muffins and breads simply because they are made in a home kitchen. The three bakers teamed up with the Institute for Justice in January 2016 to challenge the ban in state court. “In his ruling issued... Judge Duane Jorgenson found that the ban had ‘no real or substantial connection’ to protecting the public because there was no instance of anyone ever becoming sick from an improperly baked good, despite home baked goods being legally sold in 48 states,” the news release continued. “In addition, Judge Jorgenson found that the ban continued to exist because of the lobbying efforts of special interest groups, like the Wisconsin Bakers Association, who did not want to have to compete with home bakers.” The Institute said under the ban, if home bakers wanted to sell even one cookie, they had to acquire a burdensome commercial license, which required spending tens of thousands of dollars to rent or build a commercial kitchen, numerous inspections and multiple fees. New Jersey is now the only state to have a similar ban. “This is more than a win for us home-based bakers, it’s recognition for all small businesses that we have the right to earn an honest living and will not be stymied because of industry influence,” Lisa Kivirist, a Wisconsin baker who challenged the law, is quoted as saying. “I’m excited to get in my kitchen and start baking as finally Wisconsin is truly open SEE CAPITOL, PAGE 5

Can Do and more BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK
Historians estimate that man has had a relationship with dogs dating back as long as 40,000 years ago, when wolves were domesticated by early man. It’s a complex and multi-faceted relationship between humans and canines. Dogs can provide companionship, protection, comfort and do an amazing number of tasks. Recently, I witnessed an exceptional display of how much dogs can do for humans. My family attended a graduation From the Publisher’s ceremony at Can Do Canines in New Hope, Minn. My youngest daughter, Desk Madison, and her diabetes assistance dog, Willy, were among the 14 graduTom Stangl ates. M di Madison, or M Madyi as nearly everyone who knows her calls her, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 19 when a bout of influenza triggered the disease. She was attending college at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and my wife and I lived five hours away in Northwest Iowa. Any parent who has a child with a chronic illness will tell you that no matter how well the condition is under control, a special worry is never too far from the top of your mind. Madyi does a great job managing her illness and has been living on her own for two and a half years. Last fall, I saw a series of features on KARE 11 about Can Do Canines, a non-profit that trains and matches assistance dogs for a wide variety of duties at no charge. Diabetic service dogs can cost $20,000 or more and Madyi had spoken longingly about getting a dog if she won the lottery.

She applied for a dog and through a long chain of circumstances set in motion much earlier, she was quickly matched with Willy, a two-year-old Golden Retriever. When diabetics are experiencing fluctuations of their blood sugar, they excrete sugar through their saliva, changing the way their breath smells. Willy has been trained to detect the difference in the smell of Madyi’s breath and alert her if she is high or low. The longer people live with diabetes, the less sensitive they become to fluctuations in their blood sugar levels. Not catching a low can lead to serious consequences, even death. Willy will tap Madyi with his paw if he detects something is wrong with her blood sugar levels. He can even predict “crashes” when levels appear to be fine but drop quickly. If Madyi fails to respond, Willy becomes more insistent, whining or even putting his body on her to get her attention. Even though they have been together for less than six months, they have formed a strong bond. When they come to our home, Willy enjoys playing catch in our back yard, but he is always aware of Madyi’s location. I’ve played catch with Willy. He’s good – so good that he makes me look like Dan Marino when he catches my tosses in midair. At graduation, we saw dogs that help folks dealing with many issues from autism to deafness to multiple sclerosis. They came in all shapes and sizes from a small papillon to standard poodles and lots of retrievers. It was a special time as many of the people who played a role in the dogs’ lives up until that point came together to celebrate the achievements. I strongly recommend Can Do Canines as a worthy charity and a wonderful partner for people with disabilities. I’m so glad Willy is in our family.
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.

CAPITOL: Senate and house at odds on regulation for baking industry CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
for business.” The sweet win in circuit court led to passage in the state Senate of a bill, authored by Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, that would let people sell homemade baked goods without a license if certain requirements are met, including face-to-face sales. A similar bill passed last session, but died in the Assembly, with Speaker Robin Vos arguing it would hurt small businesses, despite the legislation gaining bipartisan support. This time around, the Rochester Republican is stirring the batter again with introduction of the Bakery Freedom Act, which goes significantly further than the Senate bill, SB 271. Vos’ bill removes licensing requirements for all bakers in Wisconsin, while SB 271 is targeted toward home bakers whose gross receipts every year are less than $25,000. SB 271 ensures those bakers would no longer have to get a food processing license or other certifications from the state and local governments. Vos says he opposes SB 271 and introduced his own bill to make everyone subject to the same standards.
“I just think it’s inherently wrong that we create carve-outs for some while everybody else is expected to follow the rules,” Vos said. Vos said he might bring up his bill directly to the floor during a planned Assembly floor session on June 21. Doing so would likely mean his bill won’t get a public hearing, unlike SB 271. Vos said that’s “what I want to work through” as he weighs bringing the bill to the floor. But, he said people who are OK with the exemption under SB 271 should “be OK with one that is a lot greater. “Either you believe there’s a barrier to business entry or you don’t,” he said. But, the Institute says “the only reason the ban on home-baked goods existed was purely political,” explaining that associations representing commercial food producers have for years lobbied against so-called “cookie bills” to protect themselves from competition. “Fortunately, protecting other businesses from competition is a wholly illegitimate government motive. Although the state may pass laws that truly protect the public health and safety, the ban on selling home-baked goods did anything but that.”

the equation. Dirt was “a mess” and not to be brought in, not the life-giving compost of the earth. Though mostly Polish, there are smatterings of Norwegian, Swedish and German in my heritage. I couldn’t tell you much about any of these cultures from experience – long-abandoned in my family tree. All I know is that, generally, Poles are hard workers and don’t visit doctors if it can be avoided. Is there some ancient tale of an undertaker-doctor in Warsaw’s past? One who soon discovered Undertaker was far more profitable and the dead didn’t complain? I certainly don’t know. Did they work so hard as an excuse not to go even when their health was calling otherwise, figuring their odds were probably better? “Sorry, Doc, got to get to work.” Your guess is as good as mine. I would have liked to learn the trade of Medicine Man – natural remedies, prayer and meditation for what ails you. No doctor visits required. And, when time on this earth is up, give oneself back to the soils – no coffins and granite structures filling acres and acres of land. Native American peoples believe in the spirits of their ancestors – simply put, the knowledge and wisdom gained and passed on to the generations that followed. Hold on to the heritage you have, dear Indian brothers and sisters; it’s better than gold. Though your own ancestors were indeed slaughtered and cheated, we cannot go back. Now it is you who hold the bounty that is your wonderful culture. I hope you know how lucky you are.

I’ve always been envious of the Native American people – such richness of earth, sky and water in their traditions and culture. I’ve also felt sorrow for them – the near genocide of their tribes in our history. Even through that, long before our time, their culture survived enough to awe, inspire and leave me in wonderment from early childhood. They had something Newbie in I wanted, though, then, I didn’t know what it the North- was. I think I do now. Waste: there was woods none. All plants and anLori Callahan imals harvested were used in their entirety. The ingenuity amazed me. Not only was there no waste, the natives respected each harvested item as another of the Great Spirit’s creations. They took only as much as was needed, no more. Every event of good fortune was celebrated as a gift, not an entitlement. Indian peoples had true wise men, the elders whose experience in living such harmonious lives were highly valued. They understood the balance of all life. Very wise, indeed. The children were taught the importance of their surroundings in both use and beauty. They were naturally taught sustainability. Oh, how lacking was my “cultural” growing-up period! It came out of a box, a jar, a can, a bag or plastic casing. How did it get there? From where did it come? These questions were not even posed, much less answered. Attunement to earth was not part of

Webster Police meet with local businesses to combat narcotics WEBSTER— “Call us anytime,” said Police Chief Michael Spafford to a group of 21 Webster business owners last week at the Webster Community Center. Spafford explained that the reason for the gathering was to discover how the police force can better serve the community. Upon arrival, business owners were handed a sheet of paper containing nine questions and asked to answer anonymously and offer back to the officers. Some of the questions and comment boxes were: 1) To what extent does your law enforcement agency develop relationships with community members? and 2) Please circle the three issues you think are the greatest problems within your community: - burglaries/theft; child abuse; domestic abuse; fraud; hate crimes; drug abuse, were some of the options to chose from. Spafford and Officer Bridget Getts stressed that drugs are affecting the community and the police force and other agencies are taking proactive steps into finding out where narcotics are coming from and finding better ways to combat the issue. But, they also wanted to let business owners know that the police can’t do it alone. “The problem with meth and other drugs isn’t just the drug. It’s the crime it brings with it,” said Spafford. As of last week, the Webster Police Department had about 500 services calls so far in 2017 for a two-person department. “These types of things take us off the streets. We are in the office filling out paperwork and making arrests,” said Spafford. Spafford and Getts then urged community members to be proactive when they see the possibility of drugs in or near their business. “If you see people loitering and have concerns, us a call,” she said. Both Getts and Spafford urged business owners and employees to take action and not to hesitate; “If you see something or think you see something, call us at the mo-
WEBSTER—Webster Recreation provides a free summer playground program for kids ages 5-17 with a variety of outdoor fun and exercise activities.

ment is happening,” said Getts. Just recently, the Webster Police have begun implementing saturation patrol tactics in order to push drugs out of the community and have received a grant to continue the process. “It sends a message to the community that says we are not going to tolerate this anymore,” said Getts. The point was also stressed that the department is willing to provide services similar to background checks for businesses who are looking to hire new employees. “We want to keep this stuff out of here,” said Spafford. Emails and phone numbers for all businesses in attendance were provided to the department for the purpose of an information line. The idea is to make all businesses aware of what is going on in the community when something happens. “If you are aware, we are aware,” said Getts. The Webster Police Department is planning to hold another similar event in the near future. Local businesses not in attendance are encouraged to contact the department with their information.

Webster Event Updates This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Webster Fair. However, due to an event-heavy July, the Webster fair will take place in late September during the same weekend as the Fall Derby. The two events will be held Sept. 22, 23 and 24. Fair Committee member Tracy Hopkins explained the decision to switch dates was made because the board does not need to compete with several other events taking place on that weekend. The Barron County Fair, two Minnesota fairs, and Watercross in Grantsburg are taking place on the originally planned Webster Fair date. In other Webster event news, the July 1 fireworks are planned as usual and multiple streets will be closed during the event, including Muskey, Alder, Pike South and Sturgeon Ave.

Unique Burnett County program Burnett County is unique as it has the only Meth Diversion program with three levels of case management including the HHS Department, Meth Case Management and Drug Court. We are often asked what people can do to help our organizations. At the very least, one can simply support the initiatives that are being put forth by organizations and agencies. This could be putting yard signs on display at your home, to voicing your support throughout the communities, to becoming foster parents for those young ones who were removed from dire situations.

There is no doubt meth use comes with a cost and consequence for the individual using it. What is frequently overlooked, however, are the costs and consequences that are not exclusive to the user. The impact on families, friends and communities make up what we refer to as the “Ripple Effect.” We can measure certain costs on agencies and organizations, for instance, property crimes. But, one cannot assign a price to other factors like the emotional impact of meth use to a child or family.

BURNETT COUNTY—Burnett County has done a lot with prevention and intervention in the past year. One important piece to the prevention programs we implement is to build the protective factors in youths’ lives in order to reverse or reduce their risk factors. Intervention is a professionally directed education process resulting in an educational opportunity or a treatment service. A prevention program began last year within the fifth grade classrooms of all three Burnett County school districts to build their protective factors, through enhancing their self esteem and problem-solving skills to help protect them from risks. Three meth town halls in 2016 were essential to the prevention initiatives and let citizens see what efforts were put together to help combat the beast that is meth. Through a regional effort last fall, a Meth Summit involved 33 counties, eight tribal communities and 15 elected officials with almost 300 people in attendance. The Burnett County Meth Diversion Program assisted the first/second time meth offenders or those who are at risk of having children removed from their home, using treatment and sobriety monitoring programs.

Ag secretary asks Wisconsin farmers to help North Dakota neighbors MADISON – Secretary Ben Brancel is asking Wisconsin farmers to help out North Dakota ranchers suffering under drought conditions, answering a call for assistance from his counterpart there. “Wisconsin farmers have always had big hearts, and this is one more way they can help out their neighbors, even neighbors who are two states away,” Brancel said. He heads the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture,
Trade and Consumer Protection. Brancel noted that some Wisconsin farmers experienced heavy alfalfa losses to winterkill this year. “You might even find someone right here who needs help,” he said. The University of Wisconsin-Extension operates a farmer-to-farmer website at http://farmertofarmer.uwex.edu to connect farmers with hay to buy or sell.
Salute to
Did you know that all 50 states in the U.S. have dairy farms?
Here are a few more dairy fun facts:
DAIRY
• U.S. dairy farms produce roughly 21 billion gallons of milk annually. • Dairy farmers are paid by the hundredweight (100 pounds), not by the gallon. There are approximately 8.6 pounds of milk per gallon.
FARMERS
• 99 percent of all U.S. households purchase milk. The average American consumes almost 25 gallons of milk each year.
...who play such an important part in our daily lives in supplying healthful dairy foods for our families.
• About 72 percent of the calcium in the U.S. food supply comes from dairy foods. • To get the amount of calcium in an 8-ounce glass of milk, you’d have to eat seven oranges or six slices of wheat bread. • Fresh milk will stay fresher longer if you add a pinch of salt to each quart. • The natural yellow color of butter comes mainly from the beta-carotene found in the grass cows eat. • Americans eat more than 300,000 tons of yogurt per year. • About 300 varieties of cheese are sold in the United States. • The most popular cheese in America is Cheddar. • It takes 10 pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese. • It takes 12 pounds of whole milk to make one gallon of ice cream. • It takes 21.8 pounds of milk to make one pound of butter. • If Wisconsin were a country, it would rank fourth in the world in terms of total cheese production, behind the U.S., Germany and France, and just ahead of Italy.

North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring reached out to Brancel Thursday asking for help to spread the word about his state’s need. A hotline is available for callers to report what they are able to provide: 701-425-8454. Anyone with hay to sell, hay land to rent, or time and equipment to move hay is asked to call and leave their name, contact information and what they can provide. Goehring said many producers are also looking for farmers out of state who can dry lot or pasture their cattle. Low precipitation combined with high winds and temperatures created drought conditions across North Dakota in varying degrees. As of early June, the USDA was reporting that topsoil moisture was short to very short in more than half the state, and pasture and range conditions were rated 70 percent fair to very poor. Even if rains were to come by late June, Goehring said, forage production could be dramatically reduced. He has asked the USDA Farm Service Agency to allow emergency haying and grazing on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) lands.

Trump makes case for apprenticeships to fill jobs gap BY JOSH BOAK AND KEN THOMAS ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) — The man who parlayed a run on TV’s “The Apprentice” into a winning presidential campaign said Tuesday the nation needs a stronger system of apprenticeship to match workers with millions of open jobs. “I love the name apprentice,” President Donald Trump declared. He said he wants every high school in America to offer apprenticeship opportunities and hands-on learning. Joined in Wisconsin by daughter Ivanka Trump and Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, Trump described his push to get private companies and universities to pair up and pay the cost of such arrangements. “It’s called earn while you learn,” Trump said at Waukesha County Technical College. The president toured the technical college, accompanied by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, as his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, faced questions before the Senate Intelligence Committee on potential Trump campaign ties to Russia and the firing of FBI Director James Comey. The White House said Trump’s push is aimed at training workers with specific skills for particular jobs that employers say they can’t fill at a time of historically low unemployment. However, the most recent budget for the federal government passed with about $90 million for apprenticeships, and Trump so far isn’t proposing to add more. The Trump administration has said there’s a need that can be met with a change in the American attitude toward vocational education and apprenticeships. A November 2016 report by former President Barack Obama’s Commerce Department found that “apprenticeships are not fully understood in the United States, especially” by employers, who tend to use apprentices for a few, “hard-to-fill positions” but not as widely as they could. The shortages for specifically trained workers cut across multiple job sectors beyond Trump’s beloved construction trades. There are shortages in agriculture, manufacturing, information technology and health care. Participants in some apprentice programs get on-the-job training while going to school, sometimes with companies footing the bill. IBM, for example, participates in a six-
year program called P-TECH. Students in 60 schools across six states begin in high school, when they get a paid internship, earn an associate’s degree and get first-in-line consideration for jobs from 250 participating employers. It relies on funds outside the apprenticeship program — a challenge in that the Trump budget plan would cut spending overall on job training. The program uses $1.2 billion in federal funding provided under the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act passed in 2006, said P-TECH co-founder Stan Litow. “This really demonstrates what you can do with apprenticeships with existing dollars,” Litow said. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., said Trump’s “rhetoric doesn’t match the reality” of budget cuts he’s proposing that would reduce federal job training funding by 40 percent from $2.7 billion to $1.6 billion. “If you’re really interested in promoting apprenticeship, you have to invest in that skills training,” said Mike Rosen, president of the Milwaukee chapter of the American Federation of Teachers union. Apprenticeships are few and far between. Of the 146 million jobs in the United States, about 0.35 percent — or slightly more than a half-million — were filled by active apprentices in 2016. Filling millions more jobs through apprenticeships would require the government to massively ramp up its efforts. “Scaling is the big issue,” said Robert Lerman, a fellow at the Urban Institute. Another complication: Only about half of apprentices finish their multiyear programs, Lerman said. Fewer than 50,000 people — including 11,104 in the military — completed their apprenticeships in 2016, according to Labor Department. The president was attending a closed fundraiser for Walker later in the day. Wisconsin was a key part of his 2016 election triumph and Trump became the first Republican to carry the state in a presidential election since 1984. Trump also met on an airport tarmac in Milwaukee with four people he described as “victims” of President Barack Obama’s health care law. Trump said the health care law was “one of the greatest catastrophes that our country has signed into law and the victims are innocent hard-working Americans.” He singled out Michael and Tammy Kushman of Marinette County, Wisconsin, and Robert and Sarah Stoll of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

WIDMYER: Sentenced to seven years CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
the time with one substance reported as psilocybin mushrooms. Widmyer was arrested in the past for drug use and disorderly conduct. Stemming from the April 2016 incident, Widmyer faced several charges: first degree intentional homicide, aggravated battery-intend great bodily harm, strangulation and suffocation, false imprisonment, possess drug paraphernalia, possess amphetamine/ LSD/psilocin, resisting or obstructing an officer. All charges were dismissed and read in except for aggravated battery which was amended by the court to read “crime against an elderly or disabled person.” During the sentencing hearing, Widmyer’s grandmother gave a victim impact statement in which she explained that she was diagnosed with several anxiety issues, depression and PTSD stemming from the incident. She also stated, “I can’t say I don’t miss you, because I do. I miss the Jacob who was loving and caring; the Jacob who was not drinking and taking drugs.” Widmyer’s attorney, Nathan Cockerham, expressed to the court while Widmyer has 11 prior convictions, all drug related, he does not have a history of violence.
He said that if drugs were taken out of the equation, Widmyer would be a different person and he described Widmyer’s upbringing as ‘ugly.’ This is due to the defendant reportedly having been sexually abused and witness to violent attacks on family members. It is reported that Widmyer was exposed to drugs and alcohol as early as 11 years old. Cockerham concluded by saying Widmyer was “not on equal footing.” After further deliberation, Judge Kutz explained that while he feels Widmyer “had no chance” from the beginning, the nature of the crime requires a multi-year prison sentence. Widmyer will be confined in state prison for seven years with a 415-day credit due to being in Burnett County Jail custody since the night of the crime. Due to the category of the crime, there is no chance of earned release. Upon release, he will be placed on five years extended supervision and required to obtain a GED, full-time employment and undergo a chemical dependency assessment. In addition, Widmyer is ordered to undergo mental health evaluations and follow through with recommendations and participate in the Restorative Justice program. Restitution is set at $3,494.53.
Due to the holiday, the deadline for the June 5th Edition will be Friday, June 30th at noon.

Don Christensen benefit set for Saturday

A benefit event with food, games, prizes, silent auction and more will help Don Christensen in his goal to regain enough mobility to walk again. The event is held all day Saturday, June 24 at Tony’s Riverside in Spooner. Everyone is welcome. BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
SPOONER—Don Christensen, so well known in Burnett and Washburn counties that he claims “the county line” as his home address, has high hopes that a second successful stem cell transplant will help him walk again. To help accomplish that goal, his wide network of friends and supporters in about a wide radius of Spooner are planning a spaghetti feed benefit for Don from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 24 at Tony’s Riverside Bar and pizza place located at 524 S River Street in Spooner. Since 1996 Christensen has fought against multiple sclerosis. By 2004, he needed to use a wheelchair and unfortunately lost his ability to move his arms and legs independently. He continued his active lifestyle helping other people with disabilities to hunt and fish for 10 years, until it was discovered
the medicine he was taking was going to end his life. Two years ago people in the community joined together to raise the funding to get him to Panama for a life-saving stem cell transplant. The successful transplant got him off the deadly medication. People were amazed to watch the many symptoms of the MS begin to reverse themselves. Last fall, Christensen was afflicted with another auto immune disease, Guillain Barre Syndrome, which took away facial movement that he relied on. An effort is underway to get him back to Panama to fight this latest threat and to continue the healing process that began two years ago. Christensen has devoted much of his life to helping others in many ways, and now people are trying to come together once again to help him. The spaghetti feed benefit at Tony’s Riverside

will feature many prizes including some guns and a chainsaw carving. Other features at the event will be a paddle party, silent auction, Chinese auction and more drawings throughout the day. Also at the benefit, ticket sales will begin for the Sportsman’s Dream Raffle of hunting and fishing adventures from Wisconsin to Ontario. If you can’t make the fundraiser, donations can be given to this account: Benefit for Don Christensen at Shell Lake State Bank, located at 102 W 5th Ave, Shell Lake, WI 54871 or make a donation online at his “gofundme” page. The address is https://www.gofundme.
com/stemcellencore. For all the challenges Christensen has faced, the gentleman maintains a great sense of humor, a remarkable attitude of positive living, interest in others, a strong faith and a bright outlook for his future. He expresses gratitude for the “500 or so of his closest friends” who attended the first benefit that raised $28,000 toward his first, life-saving stem cell transplant. “It’s a real community effort,” Christensen said, “and I am so thankful for the support I have received and continue to get from these great people.” Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

The berry best of Midwest summers!
Why do berries have to taste so good, look so good, smell so good? I can’t get enough fresh berries. I’m going to blame it on France and the open markets. It all started in Versailles. When I got off the train and walked to my friend’s house, my route went directly through the best open food market in all of France, where strawberries and raspberries were being sold by many vendors. The smell was amazing. I know the berries here in our neck of the woods are just as good as the berries in France – but maybe a little harder to Wild Chow find. Here in the Midwest, we can pick our own berries – something not possible Lisa Erickson in France. The best and freshest berries are the ones you pick yourself. I love going to the berry patch even more than going to the open markets in France. There is nothing like the taste of a fresh picked berry! Here are three farms in western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota where you can pick your own strawberries and more; already-picked berries are usually available also. In any case, call ahead for availability and picking times. Pleasant Valley Orchard in Shafer, Minn. has more than three acres of beautiful strawberries, 651-257-9159. The Berry Patch, five miles east of Forest Lake, Minn., grows strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, 651-4333448. White Pine Berry Farm in River Falls, Wis., lets you taste the berries before you pick so you know exactly what you will be getting, 715-222-2946. Now that the farmers markets are open, you will likely find fresh, local berries for sale. Directories are published of U-pick farms in Minnesota (www.minnesotagrown.com) and Wisconsin (www.wifarmfreshatlas.org). Strawberry Almond Tart 1 sheet pastry puff 2/3 cup toasted almonds, chopped very small 2 Tbsp. sugar 5 cups strawberries, sliced thin 1/2 cup strawberry jelly or current jelly 8 oz. cream cheese, softened, at room temperature 1/3 cup honey 1/2 tsp. almond extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside. On a floured surface, carefully roll out pastry puff into a 12 x 16 rectangle. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Freeze for ten minutes. Prick pastry with a fork all over. Lay another sheet of parchment paper over the pastry and top with another rimmed baking sheet (this is so the pastry puff will not puff up) and bake for 25 minutes until light golden brown. Remove top pan and parchment paper. Sprinkle almonds (reserving 1/4 cup) and the sugar over the top, reserving a ¾ inch border and bake again for 12-15 minutes until almonds are golden brown. Cool. In a medium bowl, combine honey, almond extract and cream cheese. Carefully spread over the center with almonds leaving the ¾ inch border. Arrange strawberries on cream cheese, overlapping slices. In a small saucepan, mix 2 tablespoons water with strawberry jelly. Heat until jelly is melted. With a pastry brush, brush berries and border with warm jelly. Sprinkle border with remaining almonds.

One of Burnett County’s many gems: Devil’s Lake BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL
DEVIL’S LAKE—Whether you are a local of Burnett County or a “snowbird,” we can all agree that this spacious section of northwest Wisconsin is aesthetically a thing of splendor. Its tall pines offer everyone the aroma of the Northwoods; the variety of wildlife remind people that we are not the only beings who share this land. And the lakes. The magnetic freshwater sanctuaries— people either can’t leave or can’t stay away too long without feeling the tug of the place where they spend time with their friends and family. Mark and Suzanne Wallskog who currently live in Prior Lake, MN., are just
two of many who have fallen in love with Burnett County. Mark and Suzanne are the successful president and CEO of Safe Step, Inc., a hotel bathtub refinishing company for some of the world’s largest hotel chains. For the past 11 years, Mark, Suzanne and their four daughters have chosen Burnett County as their weekend getaway. “Burnett County was the draw for my family, we experienced the ATV trails mid-week early in the summer of 2006. By Sunday that weekend, we had a cabin on Fish Lake to rent all summer and that fall we purchased our cabin on Big Bear Lake. We come up at least 35 weekends a year. Webster seemed like a great destination for families or retirees wanting to ‘weekend away’ from
the Twin Cities or other areas with all it had to offer,” said Mark. Mark and his family enjoy the beauty the county has to offer, but a nice lake is not all the family has enjoyed since they began vacationing in this area. “Over the last 11 years of coming to Burnett County, we have become friends with many locals, a large percentage of which are retirees. To the locals I say thank you for supporting the weekenders with wonderful hospitality at the many community events we have attended to experience the area. “Thank you to those who know the area who welcomed us to join in ATV runs, long and far away from cabin snowmobile rides, invited us into ice fishing houses, invited us to canoe on the area rivers, told us where to hike and mostly shared their stories on a deck at a home, cabin or restaurant as we watched the boats, sunset and bright stars of the night.” As of December of 2014, the Wallskog’s, along with Eric and Mel Kramer, became owners of the Devil’s Lake Resort. Devil’s Lake Resort will soon be ex-
panding to include 75 seasonal sites with electric, water, and septic. It is four miles northwest of the Village of Webster. “We believe if we can do a good job managing the property within the community of the county, township, lake and immediate neighborhood, we can possibly expand in the future, offering more access to those that want to experience Burnett County’s many treasures,” said Mark. Since becoming a joint owner of the resort, Wallskog feels visitors as well as locals have enjoyed the community at Devil’s Lake. Throughout the summer, the Sentinel staff will be visiting the Devil’s Lake Resort in order to share with readers the community within the community. The Wallskog’s are excited to showcase their resort, a place where many locals and others have come together and created positive relationships all because of their common love for the beauty of Burnett County. Check back soon to read more about the community at Devil’s Lake.

A successful season ends at State Tournament ABOVE THE FOLD MEDIA FOR THE SENTINEL
APPLETON—The Webster Tigers’ storybook season came to an end in a 5-3 loss to Independence-Gilmanton in the state semi-finals on Wednesday, June 14, but not without some nail-biting drama. After going down 3-2 early, the Tigers tied the game up at 3-3 in the bottom of the six and held on to send the game into extra innings. Both squads were shut down in the eighth before the Indees tallied two runs in the top of the ninth. Webster had two runners on in their half of the inning, but were unable to get them across home plate, ending an incredible season. Run production from both teams in the first inning of Wednesday’s WIAA Division 4 baseball semifinal at Fox Cities Stadium prompted the question of when the scoring would end. Soon enough, heads were being scratched while wondering if another run would be scored. After combining for five runs in the opening inning, Webster and Independence-Gilmanton morphed the high-scoring semifinal into a pitchers’ duel. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the answer to which team would appear in the state final was answered by the Indees. Despite scoring a game-tying run in the sixth inning and forcing extra play,

the Tigers had their season concluded with a pair of ninth-inning runs in a 5-3 win for the Indees. Webster had the last at-bat and brought the game-winning run to the plate, but was unable to capitalize. The nerves were evident for both teams in the first inning, starting with the Tigers. Pitcher Jack Washburn hit the first batter he faced, then was
charged with an error for an off-target pickoff throw to first that allowed the runner to reach third before plunking another batter. Samuel Killian then broke the scoreless tie with a two-run triple; he later scored on a wild pitch to give the Indees a 3-0 lead. “Both pitchers and defenses had some early-game jitters, so some plays weren’t made,” Webster Coach Jarrod Wash-
burn said. When the Tigers got to their first atbat, they answered the Indees. Trevor Gustafson drew a leadoff walk and later reached third on a throwing error before Hunter Gustafson hit a sacrifice fly that got Webster on the board. Washburn, who reached on a fielder’s choice, scored on a two-out RBI single from Brad Sigfrids, pulling the Tigers to within a run at 3-2. But after a lively first inning, the bases were mostly empty for both teams over the next four innings. The Indees put multiple runners on in the second inning and each was stranded to maintain the 3-2 score. Though he hit another batter in the third, Washburn forced a fly ball for the third out. “Once the pitchers settled down, everyone saw two really good pitchers going against each other,” Coach Jarrod Washburn said. Meanwhile, the Tigers were held without a hit in the second, third and fourth innings. The string of scoreless innings on the mound by Washburn allowed him to take an inning of relief in the sixth. Trevor Gustafson entered in a switch planned before the game and kept the Tigers within a run by retiring the three batters he faced in the inning. Each of the scoreless innings thrown by Webster pitching allowed it to tie the SEE TIGERS ON PAGE 19

game in the bottom of the inning. Washburn hit a two-out single and moved into scoring position with an Indees’ error before Hunter Gustafson delivered an RBI single to tie the game at 3-3. Both teams put a potential game-tying run on-base in the seventh inning. The Indees hit a two-out double that was followed by a Washburn strikeout to end the at-bat, then Jordan Larson gave the Tigers a leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh but was stranded, taking the game to extra innings. The ninth inning started the same way the first inning did, which was bad news for the Tigers. Larson entered to pitch the eighth and remained in for the ninth, which began with a hit batter. The runner moved to second on a balk, then both runners advanced on a sacrifice bunt to give the Indees two runners on-base with just one out. The Indees repeated that strategy and scored the go-ahead run on another bunt. An RBI single gave them another run and Webster went to the bottom of the ninth trailing 5-3. Though the two game-tying runs were on-base for the Tigers, Samuel Killian got a strikeout for the third out and give the Indees a trip to the final.

and they have created memories that they will never forget. I just hope that when they look back, they don’t look at it as a negative but instead look at it as it should be looked at and that is that they accomplished something very special. I was very proud of them on how they bounced back after that shaky first inning. It could’ve gone wrong in a hurry after playing so poorly in the top of the first, but we rebounded quickly and showed our resilience. Even though in the end we came up a bit short, those boys couldn’t have made me prouder of them.”

Senior Jordan Larson came in to pitch for the Tigers in the eighth inning during the semi-final game on Wednesday.
Larson pitched two innings and took the loss; Washburn went six innings and had 10 strikeouts. Hunter Gustafson finished with a hit and two RBI; Sigfrids had two hits and an RBI while Washburn scored two runs. “(The loss) hurts pretty bad right now, which shows how much they care,” Coach Jarrod Washburn said. “This one will hurt for a while.” He added, “It was a great experience for them

Diversified power, solar project highlight Polk-Burnett meeting CENTURIA – Approximately 160 members and guests attended Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative’s 79th annual meeting Friday, June 9 at Frederic High School where they heard from co-op leaders about plans for diversified power generation, SunTuria Solar and a $3.7 million nuclear settlement. “The annual meeting gives co-op members a chance to meet directors and employees, learn about co-op performance and provide feedback. As a member of a co-op, you are an owner and have a voice,” said Polk-Burnett Board President Ed Gullickson, who welcomed members and called the meeting to order.
turia office. “This is the first utility-scale solar development in Polk County,” said Stroshane. “SunTuria Solar will provide clean, renewable energy at a fixed rate, replacing electricity from fossil fuels and providing long-term, stable energy prices.” With 4,800 panels, it will generate power for about 200 homes. The co-op offers other innovative technologies to serve members, including a SmartHub app where members can track electricity use, pay electric bills and check for outages online. Polk-Burnett also offers an online outage map and outage notifications via text messaging.
Where does co-op power come from?
Not-for-profit co-op holds rates steady
Dairyland Power Cooperative President and CEO Barbara Nick was guest speaker. La Crosse-based Dairyland Power provides electricity for 600,000 people in the region and serves as the wholesale power provider for 24 distribution cooperatives, including Polk-Burnett. Nick shared Dairyland’s plan to diversify the electricity generation resources that power Polk-Burnett lines and member homes, businesses and farms. “Diversification reduces our carbon footprint, is sustainable and makes good business sense,” said Nick. “Our plan includes a careful balance of solar, wind, natural gas and hydro, as well as environmental controls for existing coal plants. Our target increases renewables and reduces coal to 50 percent of total generation by 2026.” Nick also shared an update on Dairyland’s nuclear facility in Genoa, Wis. An outside firm was hired to decommission the plant, which was shut down in 1987. On-site spent fuel storage will continue, and litigation continues over the government’s failure to provide permanent off-site storage. General Manager Steve Stroshane reported that the co-op serves 20,241 members and has 60 employees, 53 on the electric side and seven for propane services. All are dedicated to providing reliable electricity, he said. Co-op employees maintain 3,378 miles of power line across 2,000 square miles. In 2016, $3 million was invested to upgrade the electric system, including 49 miles of power line construction and replacement of 180 power poles in poor condition. “Most of us today can’t imagine life without electricity to power our appliances, electronics, computers and technology,” said Stroshane. “Polk-Burnett is proud to rank in the top 25 percent of co-ops in the nation for reliability.”
Board President Gullickson reported that Polk-Burnett is financially solid and the co-op is efficient and effective at holding down costs, while providing member-owners with reliable power and extraordinary service. Rates did not go up in 2017. They were restructured in 2016, with the kWh charge going down and the basic charge going up to cover fixed costs. The result was a reduction in revenue for the co-op. “As a co-op, rates are set to cover the costs of delivering reliable electricity, not to generate profit, and all revenue beyond expenses is returned to members as Capital Credits,” said Gullickson. In 2016, Polk-Burnett retired $848,000 in Capital Credits to 16,000 co-op members.
‘SunTuria’ Solar energy project Stroshane also announced Polk-Burnett’s new “SunTuria Solar project,” a 10-acre solar development to be constructed later this summer behind the co-op’s Cen-
Nuclear waste settlement A $3.7 million nuclear waste settlement will be invested and returned to members, Gullickson announced. Polk-Burnett received $3.7 million from Dairyland Power Cooperative as part of a settlement from the government for failure to provide a permanent storage for nuclear waste. “We will invest $2.7 million into a project that replaces deteriorating underground cable and improves reliability for members,” said Gullickson. “This accelerates work that would have taken years to complete and aligns with our mission to provide reliable power. Beyond investing in system upgrades, we will retire an additional $1 million in capital credits in September. The special retirement will be paid out to members who purchased electricity in 1994 and 1995. If you purchased electricity in those years, you’ll get money back,” announced Gullickson. In other financial news, Gullickson reported that the co-op showed $92 million in assets and $34 million in operating revenue for 2016; consolidated net margins were $3.3 million. Polk-Burnett sold just over 222 million kWhs of electricity and the cost to purchase that power was $17.8 million. The complete financial audit for 2016 is posted on PolkBurnett.com.

Wisconsin Republican joins Democratic bid to loosen pot laws BY CARA LOMBARDO ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON—A grass-roots coalition called Citizen Action of Wisconsin is promoting an alternative national healthcare plan “to protect and improve access to affordable healthcare. “Citizen Action is taking a far different approach, one that respects the will of the people,” said American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten. The coalition is launching a 60-day drive of face-to-face conversations with community members whose coverage under the Affordable Care Act would be compromised if the GOP repeal bill becomes law. “This is the way things should be done,” Weingarten added. “Soliciting ideas through an inclusive, transparent, grass-roots-driven process. Republicans in the Senate could learn a lot from our friends at Citizen Action of Wisconsin. Their approach stands in stark contrast to what Paul Ryan, Donald Trump and the Senate GOP leadership are doing to healthcare—first, passing a House bill that even the president now calls ‘mean,’ and, now, crafting a bill in the Senate behind closed doors that will strip millions of Americans of their healthcare in order to give tax cuts to the wealthy.” Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals President Candice Owley added, “Our fight for high-qual-
ity, affordable healthcare didn’t begin with Obamacare and it won’t end with any version of Trumpcare. “We’ve partnered with Citizen Action to create an alternative, a ‘Healthcare for All’ Co-op. This partnership brings together the voices of doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals and patients to transform our healthcare system. “We know from the work our members do inside our communities that individuals want their voices to be heard, not shut out. Lawmakers should work together with those most severely affected by healthcare reform, to help fix what’s broken but also maintain the benefits the ACA has afforded them. “Working behind closed doors in Washington is not the answer. Together, we can build a better healthcare system – one that is centered on providing high-quality care, not on turning profits. Every responsible legislator in the country who shares the vision of affordable healthcare should join our movement,” Owley concluded. Citizen Action of Wisconsin is a new issue-focused coalition of individuals and organizations committed to achieving social, economic and environmental justice. Their website is www.citizenactionwi.org/ and Facebook page Citizen Action of Wisconsin.
MADISON—A Republican state lawmaker joined three Democrats in a longshot effort to loosen the penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana in Wisconsin. Rep. Adam Jarchow, of Balsam Lake, said at a Tuesday news conference that he realized the need for the proposal after voters he met in his district repeatedly urged him to reconsider the state’s approach to marijuana. “If people in rural Northwestern Wisconsin in a conservative district think we need to change course, then maybe we do,” he said. The measure from Jarchow, Sen. Fred Risser and Reps. Evan Goyke and Jonathan Brostoff would cap the penalty for possessing 10 grams or less of marijuana at $100 and remove the possibility of jail time or being charged with a felony for subsequent offenses. The current maximum penalty is $1,000 and six months in jail for a first conviction and any subsequent convictions are felonies. It wouldn’t change the penalties for marijuana dealers who possess large amounts of the drug. “It seems to me to be pretty odd that possession of a couple joints could land you in jail or prison,” Jarchow said. Risser said having a small amount
of marijuana doesn’t endanger other peoples’ lives and therefore shouldn’t be harshly punished. Marijuana possession arrests account for about 5 percent of all arrests, according to a Legislative Fiscal Bureau analysis. The proposal faces an uphill battle with Republicans who control the Legislature. Jarchow said he hasn’t spoken to Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, but is encouraged that Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he was open to medical marijuana early in the session. Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Fitzgerald said at the time they have no interest in legalizing medical marijuana. A spokesman for Walker didn’t immediately respond to a message about whether he’d support loosening the penalties for possession of small amounts. Myranda Tanck, a spokeswoman for Fitzgerald, said he is still reviewing the group’s proposal. Two Democratic proposals related to medical marijuana haven’t gotten hearings. “I’m not naive to think that we are going to pass this and get it signed into law,” Jarchow said, adding that he hopes the bill will get a hearing and start a bipartisan conversation.

Gary Nelson average annual premium was $648.48 ranking us 44th among states. Minnesota was $744.53 ranking them 28th. The most expensive state was New Jersey at $1,264 with Michigan second at $1,227.

REAL ESTATE ADVICE
Q. Do I need to do a home
inspection when I buy a house?
A.
A home inspection is not required Jean Lundgren but is generally a good idea. Though not a warranty, an inspection is a good overview of the property, its components & condition. Small issues are detected in any home. Items of concern to buyers, sellers, lenders & appraisers are significant repairs, code & safety items. An appraisal is often required as part of the buyers financing. An appraisal is not an inspection, but many loan programs require appraisers to note needed repairs. Having a home inspection can help avoid appraisal & financing problems. The overall advantage of having a home inspection is to provide information, bring to light potential issues & peace of mind to all parties.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin state Senate has approved a pair of bills designed to help fight drug abuse and addiction. One bill the Senate passed on a voice vote Wednesday would allow emergency and involuntary commitment for drug addicts. Supporters say that would be a tool to help put someone on the road to recovery. The other approved bill would ensure that someone who overdoses would be immune from probation or parole revocation if he or she enters a treatment program. Backers say the change would encourage people to call for help in an emergency. It passed 32-1 with Republican Sen. Steve Nass voting no. He says it goes too far in granting immunity.

A parent or other person having legal custody of the child under an order or judgment in an action for divorce, legal separation, annulment, child custody, paternity, guardianship or habeas corpus. 2. The department of children and families or the department of corrections or any person, county department under sec. 46.215, 46.22 or 46.23 or licensed child welfare agency, if custody or supervision of the child has been transferred under chapter 48 or chapter 938 to that department, person or agency. (b) Except as provided under chs. 48 and 938, whoever intentionally causes a child to leave, takes a child away, or withholds a child for more than 12 hours beyond the court-approved period of physical placement or visitation period from a legal custodian with intent to deprive the custodian of his or her custody rights without the consent of the custodian is guilty of a Class F felony. This paragraph is not applicable if the court has entered an order authorizing the person to so take or withhold the child. The fact that joint legal custody has been awarded to both parents by a court does not preclude a court from fining that one parent has committed a violation of this paragraph. (2) Whoever causes a child to leave, takes a child away or withholds a child for more than 12 hours from the child’s parents, or in the case of a nonmarital child whose parents do not subsequently intermarry under sec. 767.803, from the child’s mother, or if he has been granted legal custody, the child’s father, without the consent of the parents, the mother or the father with legal custody, is guilty of a Class I felony. This subsection is not applicable if legal custody has been granted by court order to the person taking or withholding the child. (3) Any parent, or any person acting pursuant to directions from the parent, who does any of the following is guilty of a Class F felony: (a) Intentionally hides a child from the child’s other parent. (b) After being served with process in an action affecting the family but prior to the issuance of a temporary or final order determining child custody rights, takes the child or causes the child to leave with intent to deprive the other parent of physical custody as defined in sec. 822.02(9). (c) After issuance of a temporary or final order specify-
ing joint legal custody rights and periods of physical placement, takes a child from or causes a child to leave the other parent in violation of the order or withholds a child for more than 12 hours beyond the court-approved period of physical placement or visitation period. (4)(a) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution for violation of this section if the action: 1. Is taken by a parent or by a person authorized by a parent to protect his or her child in a situation in which the parent or authorized person reasonably believes that there is a threat of physical harm or sexual assault to the child; 2. Is taken by a parent fleeing in a situation in which the parent reasonably believes that there is a threat of physical harm or sexual assault to himself or herself; 3. Is consented to by the other parent or any other person or agency having legal custody of the child; or 4. Is otherwise authorized by law. (b) A defendant who raises an affirmative defense has the burden of proving the defense by a preponderance of the evidence. (5) The venue of an action under this section is prescribed in sec. 971.19(8). (6) In addition to any other penalties provided for violation of this section, a court may order a violator to pay restitution, regardless of whether the violator is placed on probation under s. 973.09, to provide reimbursement for any reasonable expenses incurred by any person or any governmental entity in locating and returning the child. Any such amounts paid by the violator shall be paid to the person or governmental entity which incurred the expense on a prorated basis. Upon the application of any interested party, the court shall hold an evidentiary hearing to determine the amount of reasonable expenses. WNAXLP (June 7, 14, 21)

Pastor Sandy Hutchens Faith Lutheran Church, Grantsburg
It entails a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural curiosity, a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s momentary panic turned into what promised to be a moment of great embarrassment, and the gracious and loving touch of the Master. The author is unknown. Wishing to encourage her young sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress on the piano, a mother took the small boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Admittance.â&#x20AC;?

transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was mesmerized. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way it is with God. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly graceful flowing music. But with the hand of the Master, our lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work can truly be beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit, keep playing.â&#x20AC;? Feel His loving arms around you. Know that His strong hands are playing the concerto of your life. Remember, God doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call the equipped, He equips the called.
cert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that her son was missing. Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.â&#x20AC;? At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit, keep playing.â&#x20AC;? Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon, his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obligatio.
