Committee looks to streamline court system JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNMENT CENTER–– The Public Safety committee is attempting to streamline the court system in Burnett County, which may be at maximum capacity. But before they do that they need as much data as they can get from the District Attorney’s office, the clerk of courts, law enforcement agencies and the judge. County Supervisor and committee member Gary Lundberg asked District Attorney Bill Norine for all the information he can get on the “output and income” of the court system along with the number of Lundberg cases opened and closed over the period of a month. Their goal is to accumulate all the data possible and then discuss how to make the court more efficient. Lundberg stated this is something that needs to be done so hiring decisions will be easier across all departments involved – the clerk of court offices, district attorney offices, the judge and law enforcement. “It’s starting to look like to me that the court system is at its max,” Lundberg said after reviewing some of the budgets. “It can’t produce anything more than what we’re doing now.” His plan is to take a deep dive look at all four entities and find out where the “roadblock” is. This will then help department managers in hiring decisions. Those managers may have a narrow view of the situation, but Lundberg says taking a look at the system as a whole will help with those decisions. “As we get more data we’ll probably come together with those department managers for a meeting to talk about those things,” Lundberg said. Lundberg said at the state level they are looking to add more judges to certain counties. SEE PUBLIC SAFETY, PAGE 2

SIREN–– The veterinarian clinic in Siren has 90 days to pay their taxes. Siren Village President Dave Alden was informed of this earlier in the day before the meeting. Domestic Animal Wellness Center and Wildlife Rescue, Inc. is located on the corner of First Avenue and Highway 70 in Siren directly behind Tesora. “I got a disturbing call from the vet clinic today,” Alden said. “They have been served papers from the Burnett County courthouse saying they have 90 days to pay taxes on the property or they will lose all their equipment and the building.” Alden said the clinic owes about $16,000 in taxes to the county, which has built up from a $2,000 loan in 2008. “This is very saddening to me as a pet owner and as a resident,” Alden said. “That clinic is one of the better things in our community.” Village Clerk/Treasurer Ann Peterson explained that the Village has paid its taxes and the County would be taking the financial hit. The operators of the clinic do not own the building so the option of moving the clinic out of that building was

PUBLIC SAFETY: Committee discusses conditions for jailer/ dispatch workers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“Some of the bigger counties are asking for seven judges, we’re just asking for one,” Lundberg explained. He continued to say this streamlining effort is something that should be done at the state level also, but at least the county can start.
EMERGENCY MANAGER REPORT Jim Tolbert returned from vacation to give the committee his report on the heavy rainfall and flooding the county experienced last month. “We had a significant amount of rain last month, with over 12 inches accumulating in some places,” Tolbert explained. “There was record flooding in Danbury and much of the Town of Blaine was cut off from the rest of Burnett County.” Tolbert said there were no injuries or deaths and that there was no significant public loss. The water did rise three and a half feet over the previous record in Danbury. He stated the initial cost estimate for damages to the county infrastructure was over $72,000. He added they are in the process of applying for FEMA grants. “The emergency management team did a great job,” Tolbert said. “I had Chris Sybers act as manager in my absence. Tammy Chell, Sabrina Naglosky, Mike Hoefs and Allison Fern all did very well in handling the events.” County Supervisor and committee chair Gerald Pardun said that the Danbury Casino should be publicly thanked for their help in allowing potential flood victims to take shelter. “The casino was allowing people who voluntarily evacuated their homes to stay there and although the water did not rise enough to flood these homes, it was a good precaution to take,” Tolbert said. “They also allowed us to set up a reception center there.”
JAIL UPDATE Jail Administrator Mark Schmidt represented the Sheriff’s Department at the meeting while Sheriff Ron Wilhelm was out of the state during the meeting. He was there to ask for three full-time dispatcher/jailer positions to be filled. The department accepted three full-time resignations in the dispatcher/jailer position. The committee approved filling those resignations and now the decision will go to the administration committee. Schmidt was also at the meeting for a discussion on the heating/ventilation/air condition (HVAC) system in the jail. The jail, where the prisoners are housed, does not have air conditioning and the jailer/dispatch position is in a room with limited air conditioning, especially on the weekends when the Government Center is mostly empty. “Gary knows about the issue and is working on it,” Schmidt said of Gary Faught the maintenance director for the county. “The problem is it gets miserably hot up there.” Schmidt said he worked a 12-hour shift on Sunday and explained that he was sweating quite a bit. The dispatch center was around 80 degrees all day. County Administrator Nate Ehalt described the working conditions as “unacceptable.” He added that this has been an ongoing issue for years and has been discussed as a possible third floor remodel. County Supervisor and committee member Gene Olson again brought up the topic of a new jail or possibly a justice center. Pardun then explained the financial burden of building and staffing a new jail. Olson countered with, “we need to start thinking about it now. Just look at the (communication) towers. 12 years later and we’re still trying to get them to work right.” The committee then discussed bringing some sort of cooling device for the dispatch center to alleviate some of the heat issues. Pardun said the committee will look into all options for solving this issue in the jail.
VILLAGE BOARD: Village Trustees will meet with school administrators to discuss parking lot runoff CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
brought up. But was quickly turned down after the board learned there are “huge complications” with moving the clinic’s x-ray machine. Alden told the committee to brainstorm idea’s on keeping the clinic in the village and will revisit the topic next month. Police Chief Chris Sybers was at the meeting and explained that this is something that should have been done a long time ago. “We didn’t have a person in the job to go looking for these people with back taxes,” Sybers said. “The state is owed $2 million in back taxes and it’s finally being addressed up here.” BUILDING AND GROUNDS DISCUSSION The board had a short discussion on what to do with the remaining structure on Jim Hunters property on Highway 70 across the street from the Veterinarian Clinic. The structure in question is a large metal building on a concrete foundation. “It needs to be removed,” Alden said bluntly. “The committee needs to come up with a plan to remove it because it’s a hazard.” Sybers added he had spoken to Hunter about the property. “He was supposed to have a fence around that building because it’s not safe,” Sybers said. “I was hoping he would have had it up by now for the Fourth.” The Village has joined Grantsburg, Webster and Frederic in purchasing a water-valve saw. Each municipality will buy their own blades and repair kit. Jaskolka said they are spending a little over $800 and the device will pay for itself after one use. “We won’t have to dig up the whole road to get at a break anymore,” Jaskolka said. “We replace two or three valves a year and this process only takes about 20

minutes.” SIREN PARKING LOT Siren Associate Principal Wayne Koball was at the meeting to discuss the school’s newly paved parking lot and it’s water issues. Public Works Director Jim Jaskolka said the water runs towards Crooked Lake when it should be going South toward Kapes Lake. “I was out there during the rain and none of the runoff was going onto the patch of grass on Bradley Street,” Jaskolka said. Koball said the school is ready to take care of this issue. The board decided that Koball will attend the building and grounds meeting to figure out what the school needs to do to fix the water
runoff issue. “In the future we need a more elaborate site plan evaluation,” said Village Trustee Jim Pearson. “Because the school does not pay taxes so the taxpayer may end up paying to fix this issue.” Koball agreed with Pearson and will be attending the next building and grounds meeting.
•
IN OTHER ITEMS: Lynn Kern came back to the Village Board to see if they had any update on the house being built on 4th Avenue in the Village. Last month Alden said he would speak with the builders and at the July meeting explained that he has yet to meet with them.
DRUG WARRANT: Five confidential informant buys earlier this year leads to multiple felony charges CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
of narcotics and possession of methamphetamine, both charges are class I felonies. John J. Blount, 51, Danbury, was charged with drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor charge. According to the police report, the warrant was obtained after five different controlled buys were made for prescription drugs early this year. It was executed by Siren Police with assistance from Grantsburg, Webster and Tribal Police departments. The officers met at Siren Police Department on June 14 to devise a plan on how to execute their search warrant on Walberg Road. At 11:43 p.m. the report states that the lights were on and there were multiple vehicles in the driveway.
They arrived at the house where Blount answered the door with Kraemer standing behind him. Kraemer was informed of the search warrant handcuffed and the police began their search. Officers found white powder lined on a plate. The officer described Kraemer as allegedly having white snot, an indicator he had just snorted something. The white powder was not tested by law enforcement. Next, officers found .42 grams of methamphetamine and six different pill bottles. They continued to search and found another pill bottle with a multitude of different pills inside. There were prescription bottles and a plethora of pills found inside the residence including; hydrocodone, baclofen - a muscle relaxer - and gabapen-
tin, which is used to treat seizures and pain from shingles. The reports continues to state that multiple firearms were found in the home. In an interview with police, Kraemer alleges the guns belonged to Blount. They also found three smoking pipes which tested positive for THC. Benjamin, Blount and Kraemer were arrested and transported to Burnett County Jail. While being searched three oxycontin pills were found rolled up in a five dollar bill in Benjamin’s bra. Kraemer was released from jail after posting his $500 bail. He must maintain absolute sobriety and was ordered to have no contact with Benjamin. His initial appearance in front of Judge Melissia Mogen will be July 11.

Still scarred from Tommy Boy
I am not going to mince words. I am disappointed that I did not get to see the bed races on the Fourth of July in Siren. Obviously there is no one to blame for the thunderstorm. Some people I talked to about it said they have lived in Siren for almost 20 years and this is the first year they can remember not seeing the bed races. Other people said they didn’t leave when the bed races were canceled, they just sat in their car and waited it out. Luckily they were still able to have the parade. I rather enjoyed Wayne Koball’s play-by-play of the parade. During the parade, the lens of my camera got wet on the inside, and being a novice photographer, I thought it was ruined. So that Sentinel evening I was lying around having a mini-heart attack thinking I may Editor have ruined this really expensive Jonathan Richie lens. But as someone told me , a miniheart attack is better than a real one. (Also, the camera lens turned out to be fine.) Have you been enjoying the outdoors during the weekend? I know I have. These last two weekends have been hot, but they’ve also been gorgeous (besides a little bit of rain.) Two weekends ago, I went kayaking and - it turns out - I’m really good at it, even when paddling into the wind. It was a beautiful day on Clear Lake in Siren, stayed out on the water (not in) for about three hours. I really don’t see myself as a kayak kind of guy, I think I’m more of the rowboat type. The less chance I have of going in the water the better. But of course, “Tommy Boy” has scarred me from most open water adventures. I’m talking about the scene where the boat is sticking out of the water at like a 40 degree angle, to show how fat Chris Farley really was. As a young fat person I figured, “that is definitely real, there is no way I’m ever going out on a boat.” So - naturally - I’m more of a dock/shoreline fisher. However, this past weekend I just lounged around and caught up on some reading. I’ve been going back and forth from “A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn and “Si-cology 1” an auto-biography written by Silas Robertson of the former A&E docu-series “Duck Dynasty.” These two books could not be more different, which is what I like about them. Diversity in books is key for me. If I read too much history ,it becomes boring and that’s when I turn on the television. Lastly, the World Cup has been a lot of fun to watch on TV. But I have always been a fan of the late summer classic – the Little League World Series held every year in Williamsport, Penn. In seventh grade, our Little League All-Star Team was just 12 wins shy of going to Williamsport. Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email - editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. See ya next week.

Self-actualization in the back yard As I sat in my back yard last week waiting to flip some burgers on the grill, it hit me. Well, I’ve been feeling it for some time now, but a look at my bare feet gave my rational brain the empirical evidence it needed to reach a conclusion. I have become my father, and it’s disconcerting and comforting at the same time. My “a-ha” From the Publisher’s moment? The glimpse of my feet Desk revealed some toes that have spent Tom Stangl too much time in h d some other issues I’d shoes and rather not discuss. The wave of déjà vu washed over me as I recalled over 20 years ago commenting on the sorry condition of my late father Arved’s feet. “Boy,” I thought to myself, “those toes are really nasty.” The toes are on the other foot now – namely mine — and it really isn’t funny. Well, it is a little funny. I believe in many ways we are hard wired at birth for later in life. Our genetic blueprints are executed as we age, and your parents are a good template to look at for a sneak preview of what will soon be looking back at you in the mirror.
I inherited my mother’s coloring and my father’s flat feet, bad teeth and male pattern baldness. For decades I have been watching my hairline recede and tried insoles and shoes of all sorts to make the best of the flattest feet in the free world. I have also become good friends with dentists over the years as I fund their retirement plans. At some point, you need to play the cards you have been dealt. It’s a process. I find that keeping your hair cut short helps. It’s also a good idea to invest in a trimmer for other hair growing on your head in places where it shouldn’t be growing. The physical traits are hard to avoid. Personality traits are trickier to navigate. My father did not suffer fools. He would simmer like a pressure cooker before eventually losing his temper, something that he quickly regretted after it happened. For years, I have noticed thoughts coming into my head unbidden as I react to events or people. With practice, I have developed a way to keep them from coming out of my mouth. When this occurs, I imagine having a struggle inside my mind to keep the thoughts from my mouth. Kind of like what that nice Dr. Jekyll went through with that Hyde miscreant.

As I age, keeping my “inner Arved” at bay can prove to be a larger challenge. Sometimes in my mind my logical brain has an argument with my “Arved” brain, assuring the less logical side that there truly is nothing to be gained by causing a scene. The damage to relationships is not worth the fleeting instant of “triumph” from “prevailing” with some comment that no one but me will truly appreciate. Nearly all of the time, logic prevails. Nearly. Suffice it to say, I have a better and deeper understanding and appreciation for my father. After my foot epiphany, I vowed to simply go with the flow, because there was literally nothing else to be done. Besides, it was a pleasant evening – one of those early summer evenings with low humidity and no insects – perfect for sitting in your metal lawn chair. Just like Arved used to do. I let the “Arved” brain win this one. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

THE CAPITOL REPORT
GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe
Online sales tax ruling, projected Medicaid surplus could bolster 2019-21 budget WISPOLITICS.COM
When election-year politics start heating up, some government pros look the other way and focus on the upcoming state budget. The state budget is a two-year document, which gets started well before it’s introduced to the Legislature by the governor early in odd-numbered years. Two pieces of recent news — plus a healthy state economy and a record-low unemployment rate — could set the stage for a positive revenue picture entering 2019. OUT-OF-STATE ONLINE RETAILERS TO BE TAXED On Oct. 1, Gov. Scott Walker’s administration plans to begin collecting sales taxes from online retailers with no presence in Wisconsin. It’s projected to boost state coffers by $90 million in the current fiscal year, according to a new memo from non-partisan legislative fiscal analysts. After that, it’s projected to bring in $120 million annually through applying the state’s 5 percent sales tax to those online sales. That estimate is below the $123 million to $187 million the U.S. Government Accountability Office said Wisconsin stood to gain. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau also noted counties that impose the 0.5 percent sales tax and the 0.1 percent stadium park district sales and use tax would combine for an additional $10.3 million starting in 2019-20. Walker’s office told WisPolitics.com that it plans to use the administrative rules process to begin collecting the tax and is in the process of notifying retailers of the expected Oct. 1 start date. Walker’s office also referred
to his recent comments that he could look to use the additional sales tax revenue to cut taxes through the state budget. A recent LFB memo laid out the impact of the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which gives states the power to collect sales taxes from online retailers even if they don’t have a physical presence in their states. The Bureau said it believes the ruling triggers a 2013 budget provision requiring additional revenue from “any federal law” change pertaining to online sales taxes be used to reduce income taxes, adding income tax reductions from that trigger likely couldn’t kick in until at least tax year 2020. Still, if Walker wins re-election this fall, he could use the next state budget to direct how the additional revenue would be used. Because individual tax brackets for 2020 are not known, any estimates for a reduction in incomes taxes under the 2013 law may not be reliable, LFB wrote in the memo. But if the provision had been in place for tax year 2017, the average income tax cut would have been $52. The biggest average reduction in the gross income tax would’ve been $592 for those taxed at the current top rate of 7.65 percent, which covered income of $247,350 or more for a single filer in 2017. MEDICAID FUND SURPLUS EXPECTED Another piece of good budget news concerns the Medicaid program that funds health care costs for people with a limited income and the elderly. The Department of Health Services is now projecting the state will have a general purpose revenue surplus of $102.4 million in the Medicaid fund
at the end of the 2017-19 budget, which concludes on June 20, 2019. The report on the fourth quarter, marking the halfway point of the current two-year budget, is an improvement from the projected $59.7 million surplus at the end of March. Still, the new projected surplus represents just 1.7 percent of the $6.1 billion in general purpose revenue budgeted for Medicaid during the 2017-19 budget. DHS Secretary Linda Seemeyer wrote to the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee that hitting the halfway point of the budget has given the agency a better sense of trends for the remainder of the biennium. That includes a 0.7 percent drop in monthly enrollment for BadgerCare Plus children and a 2.3 percent drop for the program’s parents and caretakers. That will partially offset growth for childless adults of 1.9 percent and 1.5 percent for the elderly, blind and disabled. DHS is also now projecting growth of 8.5 percent in prescription drug costs compared to 10.5 percent in previous projections. The new projection also assumes a lower trend in nursing home use, though those savings are partially offset by higher assumptions for personal care expenditures that help people live independently in their own homes.

Village Board looking at new ordinances JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GRANTSBURG–– The Village Board is still looking for a building inspector for a part-time position in Grantsburg. That person would take care of problems with houses and buildings in the village. “We have some serious problems like broken windows and one house with a tarp hanging from the balcony,” Village President Larry Ebersold said. “Part of the problem is we have no one following the ordinances.” On the meetings agenda the position was described as “Property Maintenance / Ordinance Officer Position / Building Inspector” and it would be a part-time position. The Village of Siren is also looking for a similar position to be filled. Later in the meeting the board discussed Property Maintenance ordinances and were shown a sample of what the Village of Osceola has for ordinances. “I read this from start to finish and there is some pretty tough stuff in it,” Ebersold said. Board members were asked to look over the Osceola ordinances and come back in August to further discuss the issue.
POLICE REPORT Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing said his department is having trouble acquiring officers to work during Watercross, which will be held July 20-22. “We are having a difficult time finding officers to work Watercross,” Schinzing said. “We’ve got communities up here competing for law enforcement.” Schinzing said they currently have about half of the officers scheduled to work as they had last year. “The public has to be safe, but we have to know we’re safe too.” Schinzing also said that in the last couple of months he has been asked more frequently by people “how do I get to Crex Meadows?” He then asked “What’s happened to those birds we used to have

The retaining wall on S. Pine Street at St. George Street is estimated to cost $12,500, according to Public Works Director Chris Bartlett. The other bid he received for the project was for “almost $25,000.”
painted on the road?” Schinzing was referring to the roughly 20 yellow painted geese that direct drivers to Crex Meadows. Public Works Director Chris Bartlett said those have not been painted in three years. He added that the DNR used to pay for it, but not anymore. Village Treasurer Sheila Meyer said it would cost about $600 to have the geese painted on the road annually. Bartlett said he would get in contact with the group Friends of Crex to see if they could help with the painting. “Well we should either do it right or not do it at all,” Schinzing said about having the painted geese on the road. AIRPORT AND GRO Rod Kleiss of the airport committee came to the meeting to have the Airport Fly-in approved. There was some confusion about the actual date of the event, but Kleiss realized the event is scheduled for Aug. 12. It will be from 9 a.m. to noon. Kleiss said they will not be shooting off rockets that day. They will have coffee and donuts for the morning crowd and hamburgers with a free-will donation later during the event. Ebersold then asked Mike Jehlicka, of the airport committee, about getting more gravel put on the road. Ebersold said how nice the Hamburger Fly-in was and that the road should be nice too.
We are still out and rollin’! Adventures Rollin’ Foods Truck 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Ebersold said he would contact Jehlicka in the next couple of days to sort out the gravel situation. Dale Bistram of Grantsburg Revitalization Operation (GRO) was at the meeting to check on the status of the committee that was approved of at the June meeting for handling recreational needs in Grantsburg. This ad-hoc committee would look into things like expanding the campground, look into the idea of adding a fitness trail near the pool and other assorted recreational opportunities that may present themselves in the village. Ebersold said the committee would be made up of at-large citizens and Village Trustees. He told Bistram they would have more information on the committee at the August meeting. Steve Briggs donated his car to the airport to be used as a courtesy car for pilots who fly into the airport and don’t want to walk everywhere. The Board still has to figure out how to secure the car and insure it.

GRANTSBURG—The July Grantsburg School Board meeting was met with a stellar report on iForward’s SSEP space experiment project. There were also discussions on breakfast/lunch prices, alternative school contracts, and decisions for the coming school year. Principal Billy Beesley and SSEP Assistant Director Constance Quade came bearing news that iForward’s gallium experiment made it successfully to space. Originally scheduled for June 9, flight delays pushed back the launch until June 29, when the project team was at the Smithsonian”s National Air and Space Museum, presenting their concept. “Our experiment had to do with metals. Most of the experiments were biological – seeds growing, leaves decomposing,” Quade said. “You could see the whole audience perk up when our kids started talking about gallium and explaining how they got their ideas from fidget spinners.” “At the end, they had a whole crowd of people asking them questions. It was a large room with lots of people there....But they represented us so well. It was just amazing.” The experiment still needs to be completed at the International Space Station and brought back to Earth, which may happen as early as next month or as late as six months. Once the experiment returns, the student team will work with UW-Eau Claire to compare the results of the space trial with those of the ground trial. “You had asked us to remind you to look at meal prices when we did the budget last fall, and we made a note,” Dr. Joni Burgin prompted the Board. Kerri Oachs, Administrative Assistant for Business Affairs, explained that part of the reason for raising lunch and breakfast prices is federally driven. “We have to increase prices. The (federal government) passed legislation that we have to raise lunch prices every year we are behind the national average. And we are under by 70 cents, which is a significant amount,” Oachs explained. Costs of ingredients and demand are the determining factors in setting the meal prices. The prices for meal programs do not effect the district’s commitment to the subsidized meals. The Board voted to raise the breakfast price 20 cents and the lunch prices 10 cents per meal, making regular meal prices $1.25 and $2.45, respectively. The agreement for the Burnett County Area Learning Center (ALC) was up for approval. The ALC is a cooperative effort between Siren and Grantsburg schools to give at-risk students in Grades 11 and 12 an alternative to the traditional school environment. Siren provides the staff and facilities, and the Grantsburg School District provides transportation for its students. Students must still meet the graduation requirements of and receive their diplomas from their home district. Principal Josh Watt advised that on average, approximately 15 students take advantage of this program each year. “It’s such a valuable program. From what I’ve observed over the years and what we’ve learned, students don’t always fit into a square room,” Watt said. “They sometimes need other pathways to learn....Truly, for some students, they would not graduate without a program like (ALC).” The Board approved extending this agreement. IN OTHER ITEMS: • Student/parent handbooks for all schools and the employee handbook were all presented for Board approval. All contained minor revisions and were approved. • Teaching contracts were approved for Kara Lee-Bergman for Grade 1 and Melissa Dahl for Grade 3. • The Board approved a recommendation to add a position for the Special Education department. The position would split duties between Special Education and Response to Intervention (RTI), filling a gap left by the retirement of Steve Johnson.

Former aide alleges abuse in special education department JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
SIREN––A former special education aide for the Siren School District went to Facebook to share with the public allegations of how students with special needs are treated. In the online post, LeAnn Mulroy said she followed the chain of command in reporting her concerns for the education, health and safety of the children. She alleges the students and their families are not being treated fairly, their rights are being denied and they are not being educated. Siren School District posted a press release to their website stating Mulroy worked as a special education aide through the 2016-2017 school year. The school said, “the safety and well-being of all students entrusted to the District (particularly those of students with special needs) are of paramount importance to the District.” The release states Mulroy’s employment was not extended last year because of performance concerns and difficulty working with other aides, teachers and administration. She initiated the district’s post-termination grievance procedure, which was ultimately withdrawn. She then filed a complaint with the Labor Standards Bureau of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development and that complaint was dismissed by the State. It continues to explain that Mulroy filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission(EEOC), the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and the U.S. Department of Education (Office of Civil Rights.) “There are two reports (EEOC and DPI) coming out in the next two weeks and I am confident, they will back the story,” Mulroy said on Tuesday. Siren Superintendent said he could not comment any further on the situation because of the ongoing investigations by the EEOC and DPI. The pictures posted online show sores on students from being constrained. The photos also allege students using the same bowls as dogs to drink and showed a student’s spoon in sink “scum.” Mulroy said she has stories, recordings and pictures to back up her allegations. The district’s press release states they are “vigorously defending those claims.” The post went live, with photos, last Friday and has been shared over 1,000 times.

In recent elections, some people have gone to the polls to vote, but discovered that their name was removed from the poll book if they hadn’t voted in several (four) prior elections. Students in the class of 2018 have demonstrated
an enormous capacity to affect change and engage in civic affairs. Most of those students need to register to vote, if they haven’t already. If you are a new resident, or have moved within the county, you may also need to register to vote.

Ian Karl (l) and Mark Elliott (r) showed the Senator around Northwest Passage.
Freshman senator introduced to Northwest Passage WEBSTER—Northwest Passage welcomes State Senator, Patty Schachtner, to their campus to tour programs and learn about mental health residential treatment. Schachtner visited both residential treatment programs, Prairieview and Riverside, the assessment program, and the In a New Light art gallery. Program director, Ellen Race says of the visit, “We appreci-
ate when our elected officials stop in and see our programs in person. It is imperative that those making the rules governing our work truly understand what’s at stake and the importance of residential treatment services like ours.” The Senator was impressed with our innovative approach to treatment, incorporating the arts, nature, and recreation into our care for starters. She
echoed the importance of treatment options like ours. “Many of these kids have experienced multiple traumatic situations and have been in multiple foster homes. Innovative programs like the ones provided by Northwest Passage help invest in our kids to be successful human beings. It helps them address trauma so we can move kids away from the pathway to prison and toward
living lives of their creation.” Executive director, Mark Elliott was impressed with the Senator’s appreciation of the programs. “It isn’t hard to care about kids; when we talk about what we do and the kids we serve, people show compassion, but Senator Schachtner exemplified the kind of commitment and enthusiasm we need to see at the state level.” The Senator has shown
support of many mental health initiatives aimed at issues critical in Northwestern Wisconsin; from suicide prevention to pushing to collect vital data to fight the meth crisis. Race thanked the Senator personally and said, “We’re grateful to have an advocate and champion representing our district.” For more information about Northwest Passage call 715-3274402 or visit us at nwpltd.org.

NFL suspends Packers RB Aaron Jones for two games GREEN BAY—The NFL has suspended Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones for the first two games of the 2018 season without pay for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Jones will miss the season opener against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 9 and the Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, with both games at Lambeau Field. He will be eligible to return to the roster on Sept. 17, the day after the Vikings game. The discipline stems from a traffic
stop in Brown County, Wisconsin, on Oct. 1, 2017, in which Jones was charged with operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in his system; speeding; and operating a vehicle without a valid license. The case came to light after he entered a plea of not guilty on Nov. 15. The case was resolved in February with Jones pleading no contest to the first charge. He was ordered to pay more than $1,000 in court costs, and his license was revoked for six months. The other two counts were dismissed.
Plan Perfect the
The Packers cited confidentiality in declining comment. A representative for Jones referred to the player’s apology in November. “I owe an apology to my family, teammates, coaches, the fans and the Packers organization,” Jones told reporters on Nov. 21. “I made a mistake, and I take full responsibility for it. And it won’t happen again.” Jones can take part in all preseason practices and games. Players must report to Packers training camp on July 25.

Jones was second on the team in rushing last season with 448 yards and four touchdowns on 81 carries. Fellow rookie Jamaal Williams had a teamhigh 556 yards and four scores on 153 carries, giving coach Mike McCarthy a young but promising one-two punch in the backfield. The Packers still have Williams returning at running back along with Ty Montgomery, who was limited to eight games last season because of injuries.

More than 555,000 families receiving the Child Tax Rebate
MADISON – Governor Scott Walker today announced that more than 555,000 families will be receiving $100-per-child before the start of next school year because of the Child Tax Rebate. This rebate comes in addition to more than $8 billion in cumulative tax relief since Governor Walker took office. “It is great to see well over half a million households benefit from the Child Tax
Rebate,” said Governor Walker, “Parents and grandparents all over Wisconsin have told me about how important the $100-per-child was to them. Getting ready for school can be a real financial challenge and the rebate will help so many families. Plus, the Back-To-School Sales Tax Holiday starts in less than a month.” Parents who claimed their $100-Per-Child Tax Rebate will receive
a check in the mail or a direct deposit before the start of next school year. Those eligible for the Child Tax Rebate needed to apply by July 2, 2018. “And, we were able to provide the Child Tax Rebate because of a larger than expected surplus. This surplus occurred even after a record investment in schools, transportation, and broadband, plus lowering property and income taxes,” contin-

Buckle Up for Safety ANNIE LUPO-GONDWE PROGRAM COORDINATOR/FAMILY SUPPORT WORKER, BURNETT COUNTY FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER
Keeping children safe while riding in vehicles is a top priority for caregivers, but it often causes confusion. Each state has different laws so understanding your own state’s restrictions can be difficult. Let’s take a look at Wisconsin’s car seat restrictions. Children under one year old and less than 20 pounds should be in a rear-facing car seat that fits their weight and height. By law, front-facing car seats - also known as boosters - are to be used when a child is 40 pounds and four years old. While state restrictions are a helpful guide, parents should consider going above and beyond the state requirements to ensure their kid’s safety. Just because they may meet state law restrictions does not mean it is best for them to switch seats. When deciding to transition your child to a booster, keep his/her height and behavior in consideration. Will they keep a seat belt on properly? Does it fit them properly? When deciding if your child is ready for a seatbelt, keep height and behavior in mind as well. Even though a child can legally use a seat belt when they are eight years old, 80 pounds or 4 feet 9 inches, some children are not ready. Consider how the seat belt fits them and how they sit. Does the lap belt fit snugly across their upper thighs and does the shoulder belt come across the shoulder and chest? If they meet those requirements, then they are ready to graduate from a booster. If you have questions about your car seat and your child’s safety, you can contact a certified child passenger safety technician at the Burnett County Family Resource Center and the St. Croix Tribal Center.

Dr. Katie Spellman’s left eyebrow arched into an exclamation point above the wide frames of her glasses. “What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.” The room full of educators and youth leaders from rural and indigenous communities around Alaska and the Lower 48 chuckled in agreement. This eclectic and passionate group of people had converged on the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) from Alaskan communities north of the Arctic Circle, down on the Kenai Peninsula, and from the town of North Pole. For the first time at this workshop, educators from out of state had also come from Oregon, Montana, Turtle Mountain Reservation in North Dakota, and Hawaii. We were all here for a week-long workshop called “Climate Change and My Community.” To emphasize her point, Katie highlighted some of the connections we’d all just drawn on a huge concept map. Rising temperatures topped the board, but a web of lines connected to issues like thawing permafrost, diminishing sea ice, declining snow cover, vegetation shifts, and melting glaciers. Within the map were also less obvious connections: expanding marine shipping, increasing access to resources (like oil and gas), enhanced agriculture and forestry, and loss of hunting culture. This course, run through the Arctic and Earth SIGNS program, is designed to help educators and community leaders learn more about all of those “impacts and feedbacks of a warming Arctic, braiding multiple ways of knowing and observing climate change from their elders, from satellites, and from their own observations, and making a difference on a climate change issue important to their community.” Learning about the far-reaching effects of climate change without the support of a community can sometimes send people into paralysis and despair. In this workshop, upbeat mantras like “there’s a leader in every chair,” and “your observations are truth,” seemed well-placed to inspire people toward hope and action. “Why should everybody care about melting permafrost?” continued Katie. For Alaskans, the answer is as practical as frostheaved roads, tilting buildings, and failing infrastructure. For us from the Lower 48, the carbon cycle is key. Permafrost is soil that’s been below freezing for more than two years. It contains lots of stored carbon in the form of dead-but-notdecomposed plants and animals. If the soil warms and decomposition restarts, then significant amounts of carbon dioxide and methane will escape into the atmosphere. These

additional greenhouse gases will increase warming, which will lead to more melting permafrost and more carbon release. It’s a positive feedback loop with global impacts. To better understand permafrost, we took a field trip to the US Army Corps of Engineers Permafrost Tunnel Research Facility. Excavation of a hillside during the gold rush allowed researchers to tunnel straight into a frozen hill in 1963. We oohed and aahed over frozen mammoth bones, a mat of ancient sedges still showing a hint of green, roots dangling from the ceiling, and lenses and wedges of ice. Permafrost—when it stays frozen—is so stable that the tunnel does not need additional supports. On the other hand, thawing permafrost is about as unstable as you can get. For some in the class, permafrost is more than a field trip. It has a direct impact on their lives. Ken Stenek has been the high school science teacher in the town of Shishmaref for 19 years. This town of about 700 people is located in northwestern Alaska on a barrier island that’s only one-quarter of a mile wide in places. Tilting utility poles are a visible sign of unstable ground due to thawing permafrost in Shishmaref. That’s just the beginning, though. The effects of climate change are so dramatic here that this little town has its own Wikipedia page where the main topic is global warming. Thawing permafrost in combination with declining sea ice means that their roads are at risk, their coastline is falling into the Chukchi Sea, and the airport landing strip—their main connection to the world—is at risk of becoming inaccessible. Despite the intense storm damage this little town has sustained, they’ve been unable to get FEMA money because of a lack of data. Ken is working to change that. A few years ago, Ken worked with Dr. Kenji Yoshikawa, a professor from UAF, to install a frost tube. This ingenious device consists of a PVC pipe sunk several meters into the ground and strung with a clear plastic tube filled with colored water. To monitor the depth
to permafrost, you can simply pull up the tube and measure where water meets ice. One student raised their hand to ask Kenji, “Is permafrost thawing even in undisturbed areas?” He replied, “It is becoming THE disturbance in some areas.” Many places seem to be near a tipping point, where they are just barely staying frozen. These frost tubes are useful monitoring tools. NASA agrees. Several years ago, they worked with Kenji to add frost tubes to their GLOBE protocols. The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program is an international (118 countries!) science and education effort that provides students and the public worldwide with the opportunity to participate in data collection and the scientific process. Teachers gain access to tools, supplies, sampling protocols, lesson plans and support. Kids participate in meaningful, hands-on science, and NASA uses the data to ground-truth its satellites. Learning about the various GLOBE protocols was a major part of the workshop. As the week progressed, teachers were making plans for their students to study the timing of green-up and berry ripening, snow depth, rainfall, air temperature, soil moisture, cloud cover, and more. Near the end of the week we took a few minutes at the beginning of class to revisit our concept map. Students integrated layers of new learning, and the web of connections grew even messier. “There is an immense amount of knowledge in this room,” one of the facilitators declared. Very soon there will be an immense amount of knowledge—as well as hope and action— outside of this room, too. After all, “what happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.” Emily is in Alaska for the summer!

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
HSBC is still brimming with cats of all ages, sizes, and colors. This week, meet two young, friendly felines who would be happy to come home with you. Lennie is the lonely only male adult in the cat dorms right now. This a approximately 10 pound twoy year-old is white and brown sshort hair and has bright g green eyes. Lennie is good w with people and kids, but iisn’t quite sure about other a animals. He is affectionate, p purrs easily and likes nothiing better than to snuggle u up with you. He would be a an excellent couch potato or ffoot-warmer for many years Lennie to come. Hazel is a beautiful oneyear-old brown tabby who is around eight pounds. She was surrendered to the shelter with her kitten, Duckie. Hazel is a gentle, patient girl who loves attention and chin rubs. She is good with people of all ages and can be choosy about her feline friends (after all, we don’t like everyone we meet either) but is open to sharing. Hazel would be happy to hang out with you anytime! Did you know that in the United States black cat and dogs are often overlooked because of their color? Of the abundance of kittens we currently have at the shelter waiting to be adopted, the majority are black - including Hazel’s kitten, Duckie. A few great reasons to adopt a black cat – they match your black pants, they don’t judge your hair Hazel color, and black is slimming - “fur” sure! Plus, when you adopt one, you are an instant hero! On a canine note: the pups at HSBC want to know if you’re up for going out for ice cream? Come to the shelter at 7 p.m., Sunday, July 15 to be paired up with a canine companion. Then it’s off for a “drag” through town with a stop at DQ for pup cones and ending at the lake with the pups to sit and enjoy their cones with one-on-one time and socialization. Contact HSBC with questions.

John F. Dunn
Thomas R. Seger
Jerry L. Doolittle
John Dunn, 75, passed away in Fort Worth, Texas, on 27 June 2018. He was born in Philadelphia on June 6, 1943, the first son of John Francis Dunn and Mary Jane Baker Dunn. A the child of a Navy famAs i John moved frequently ily, d during his childhood, but g graduated from Siren High S School in 1961. He also joined t Navy shortly after his the g graduation and served as a h hospital corpsman for severa years. al Although John retained a d deep lifelong interest in scie ence, John became a pioneer in the development of computer software related to the arts. After attending the University of Florida, John received his Master of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Chicago, working in the Generative Systems group with Sonia Sheridan. He wrote the first Superman video game for Atari, and followed it with increasingly sophisticated software for music composition and graphic arts, most recently from his online software company, Algorithmic Arts. He was Research Fellow at the University of Michigan School of Art from 1995-1996. In collaboration with artist Jamy Sheridan, composer Warren Burt, biologist Mary Anne Clark - who he married in 1999 - and many others, John produced music from such diverse sources as brain waves, mutating HIV viruses, nightshades, image scans, and spider silk. John’s vision for his work was perhaps best captured in his own words from Algorithmic Arts: “It has only been in the last generation that music has become free of human player constraints, so we explorers of this new territory are just at the threshold. It’s not so different from the state of aviation at the time of Kitty Hawk: the bounds of what was possible have dissolved, but we have yet to learn quite what that means or how to make it fit into society at large.” Ironically, the pursuit of that vision was impeded by the progressive loss of his eyesight, and in 2015, he stopped active programming. At the time of his death, he was working on a book about his work and ideas. He is survived by his mother, Mary Jane Dunn; wife, Mary Anne; sister, Janice Fenniman; and brothers, Philip and David Dunn.

THANK YOU
Wisconsin Supreme Court suspends judge accused of harassment MADISONâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Wisconsin Supreme Court this week suspended a Fox Crossing municipal judge who was arrested on preliminary charges of stalking and violating a temporary restraining order involving a court clerk who alleges he harassed her. USA Today Network-Wisconsin reports Leonard Kachinsky was booked into jail Monday and later released with no charge. The Supreme Court on Tuesday barred Kachinsky from exercising the powers of a municipal judge until further notice, saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been informed he cannot â&#x20AC;&#x153;properly discharge his official duties.â&#x20AC;? The Wisconsin Judicial Commission had filed a complaint with the court in April. A Winnebago County prosecutor told the news organization that a charging decision will likely come next week. Kachinskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court clerk has alleged he harassed her and retaliated against her. Kachinsky is a former lawyer for Brendan Dassey, who was convicted of rape and murder and featured in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making a Murdererâ&#x20AC;? series on Netflix. Kachinsky didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately return a telephone message requesting comment from The Associated Press. In June, a judge reissued a restraining order against Kachinsky that limits his contact with the clerk to work-related functions and restricts communication to work subjects. The order also mandates a third person be there for one-on-one meetings between the clerk and Kachinsky. Kachinsky wrote in response to the clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restraining order petition that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intimidate, harass or retaliate against her. In past court filings, Kachinsky has been accused of staring at the clerk for nearly 40 minutes while making cat noises and filing letters of reprimand against her for such things as not acknowledging Christmas greetings. James Macy, a lawyer for the Village of Fox Crossing, told USA Today Network-Wisconsin that despite the restraining order, recent electronic communication and materials in the office led to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;current situation.â&#x20AC;? Kachinsky told the news organization that his posting of a highlighted excerpt from the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel manual was a reason for his arrest.

Wisconsin looks to Farm Bill to address fake organic imports MADISON—Wisconsin organic food producers are hoping the Farm Bill Congress is considering will include a provision to crack down on fake imports. Legislation the U.S. Senate approved last week would require the Department of Agriculture to keep better track of organic products by requiring electronic import certificates. Wisconsin Public Radio the bill would also provide funding to modernize USDA’s data collection process. An audit last year concluded the agency is not doing enough to make sure imports meet organic standards. The Wisconsin-based Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service says USDA’s current procedures were developed before organic products became a global industry. The group’s executive director, John Mesko, says U.S. farmers have lost hundreds of millions of dollars because of fake imports of organic grain. The proposal still needs approval from the House.

• August 15, 2018: Processing snap beans, cabbage • October 1, 2018: Value-loss and controlled environment crops (except nursery) • November 15, 2018: Perennial forage, fall mint, fall-seeded small grains, pasture, rangeland, and forage The following exceptions apply to the above acreage reporting dates: • If the crop has not been planted by the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed. • If a producer acquires additional acreage after the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendars days after purchase or acquiring the lease.

Madison woman cited for drunken driving two times in three hours MADISON—A Madison woman was arrested twice in three hours for drunken driving. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that 47-year-old Yangchen Sopa was first pulled over by police in Verona at 2:15 a.m. Saturday for a defective headlight. Authorities say she was arrested for operating while intoxicated and taken to the Verona police station before being released to her husband at about 4:30 a.m. Less than an hour later, the same Verona officer who stopped Sopa the first time stopped her again because police said the vehicle still had a defective headlight and she was seen driving it. She was arrested again for drunken driving. A phone number for Sopa could not be found. It wasn’t clear if she has a lawyer.

a cup of espresso. In China, dim sum soup is typical. The English eat scones and cooked tomatoes. In India, you’re served chutney and dips with roti (Indian style bread). Closer to home, Mexico was my biggest shocker. I was staying with a family who owned a butcher shop. Every morning, I was served a huge steak with black beans and freshly made tortillas. As much as I love steak, it was a bit much. My favorite international breakfast so far is German. Germans eat fresh, hearty slices of breads and cold cheese. I love it because it’s easy, filling and not sweet. A perfect way to start the day. One of my favorite breakfasts is a cheese board, basically an assortment of cheeses and condiments that complement the cheese like jams, honey, nuts, olives, pickled veggies, bread or crackers, and fresh fruit. A cheese board is suitable for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I have yet to visit Turkey. I hear they serve bread, cheese, butter,

Dance of death
Mike Peterson Faith Lutheran
Some say that life is a journey through the seasons of life, some think of it as a march through time â&#x20AC;Ś My thought is that life is like a dance. In a dance there is movement and flow, but are we going anywhere? Dance steps go forward, backward and sideways. The goal: not to go from point â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? to point â&#x20AC;&#x153;B,â&#x20AC;? but to enjoy the music and partnership. There is vitality and grace and beauty in dance when all things work together. Mark 6: 14-29 tells the story of how John the Baptist lost his head. It is a tragic and
well-known story that is really a metaphor for the fate of prophets. A few verses earlier Jesus said that a prophet is not honored in his hometown. John the Baptist was honored by almost everyone, but he was done in by a dance. True, the dance didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chop off his head but it brought all the intrigue, hatred, jealousy and corruption of Herodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court to the surface. The dance was probably not something for a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie. It was a powerful, perhaps seductive dance, a dance of death.

Is your life like a march or like a dance? Is there beauty and life in your dance? Jesus declared that he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the way, the truth and the life.â&#x20AC;? The Word declares that Jesus came to bring abundant life. The Spirit of God brings life, not death. It may seem like our earthly lives are overshadowed by a constant dance with death. The truth is that God destroyed death when Jesus rose from death. The promise is that we have been buried with Jesus through our baptism and we have been given new life. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoy this dance of new life.
