Cabin burglar pleads guilty JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY –– Gregory H. Schwartzbauer, 30, Webster, had 16 open cases when his plea hearing began on Monday morning, 13 included felony charges. Most of the cases were related to a string of burglaries spanning back to July 2017 and bail jumping violations. He appeared in the Burnett County Courtroom in front of Judge Melissia

Mogen and pleaded guilty to three counts of felony burglary and one count of bond violation. He was facing dozens of felony charges and numerous misdemeanor charges. Schwartzbauer’s Schwartzbauer attorney, James McLaughlin, began the hearing by explaining the three burglary charges he was going to be

pleading guilty to along with the bond violation charge. Schwartzbauer pleaded guilty to burglarizing Northwest Lumber in July 2017 and two cabin burglaries earlier this year in January. The bond violation is from when he failed to notify the Clerk of Courts of a change of address within 48 hours. Judge Mogen and McLaughlin agreed it was not the most serious charge, but the penalty for the violation is the same for all the bail jumping charges.

McLaughlin said that during the burglaries his client was in a “voluntary intoxicated state.” He added Schwartzbauer was in an addictive state and that the crimes were not linked to mental illness, therefore there was no insanity defense. He also explained that Schwartzbauer was scheduled to go through a 30-day treatment program, but only made it 13 days. He allegedly violated the facility’s SEE SCHWARTZBAUER, PAGE 2

Rural counties facing psychiatrist shortage JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

A study published earlier this month groups Burnett County with 20 other counties across the state that do not have a full-time psychiatrist. “The dearth of psychiatrists in these areas, along with the high prevalence of mental illness and substance abuse in the

state, likely contribute to a gap in which more than half of Wisconsin adults in need of services for a mental health disorder go without care,” the study says. “Rural counties face psychiatrist shortage” was published by the Wisconsin Policy Forum. It states “fifty-five of 72 Wisconsin counties face a ‘significant shortage’ of psychiatrists and 20 have no practicing psychiatrists at all.”

The study points out that this is most common in northern Wisconsin, citing that Ashland, Bayfield, and Iron counties all share a single psychiatrist. “According to Mental Health America, Wisconsin is ranked 41st of the 50 states for prevalence of mental illness (the low

GRANTSBURG––Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to an automobile accident on Saturday morning near the intersection of Pine Street and Madison Ave. According to the crash report, Josh Hayes, of Grantsburg, was driving north on Pine Street when he struck a light pole. The vehicle continued to roll until it stopped partially on the sidewalk just north of Madison Avenue. Soon after the sheriff’s department arrived North Memorial ambulance was on the scene and transported Hayes to Burnett Medical Center. Alcohol was initially thought to be the cause, but then quickly ruled out after tests taken at BMC showed there were no intoxicants found in his body. Sheriff deputies spoke with a doctor at BMC and were told the accident was probably caused by a stroke.

ranking indicates a higher prevalence of mental health and substance use issues).” Byron Hopke is the Behavioral Health Supervisor in the Burnett County Health and Human Services department. He reiterated the study saying an on-site doctor would be ideal, but they are very hard to locate and recruit. He added that many Burnett County residents schedule psychiatrist visits through Aurora Community Counseling in Siren and Spooner. “(The county) has a psychiatrist and a prescribing nurse practitioner,” Hopke said. “Both are by telehealth.” Telehealth is a service that allows residents to speak with a specialist via a video chat in lieu of visiting their office. He said that some residents also travel to St. Croix Behavioral Health at their Unity and St. Croix offices. “We also have residents who travel to Rice Lake and Minnesota,” he said. Hopke explained that Burnett County lost on-site

psychiatry a few years ago and have been transitioning to tele-psych. He said that the county often uses Families First in Siren for youth psychiatry. Also, Soar counseling -based in Shell Lake and Ashland, has recently opened a clinic in Siren with a therapist and

the county could start referring people to go there. Hopke concluded, “even though I would prefer to have an on-site doctor I believe tele-psych, through telehealth, has opened up options such as recruiting for specialties such as geriatric or adolescent psychiatry.”

no nicotine policy and was then brought back to the Burnett County Jail. He has been at the jail since January. Attorney Joe Schieffer, representing the county, explained that one of the cabin owners is not asking for restitution after their cabin was burglarized and other victims have yet to respond to the request of restitution. Schwartzbauer’s former employer, Northwest Lumber, is asking for $3,500 in restitution. The criminal complaint states he stole cash and valuable items from the business without their consent on or around July 20, 2017. According to the criminal complaints, one of the cabin burglaries was in the Town of Anderson and the other in the Town of Lincoln. McLaughlin acknowledged that Schwartzbauer did

take weapons or firearms in the string of burglaries, but never used them in the burglaries. He explained that is why he was not charged with armed burglary. The burglary charges are class F felonies. He faces up to 12 and a half years in state prison and a potential $25,000 fine for each of the three counts. For the bond violation charge, he faces six years in state prison and a possible $10,000 fine. He also may be ordered to pay restitution, even in the cases that were dismissed but read in. All of the other charges in his cases were dismissed, but read in. Judge Mogen explained that although Schwartzbauer cannot be prosecuted for those charges, they can affect his sentencing. A Pre-sentence investigation was ordered. Judge Mogen said the report should be available in the next 60-90 days. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Feb. 11, 2019.

School board hears about symposium and takes field trip of schools and moving on from there.” He continued by stating that with this strategy, “students become the agent for their education” and they are in charge. “The ball is in their court,” Hetfeld said. “It’s on them to complete the tasks.” Superintendent Jim Erickson also went on the trip and he thanked the teachers who went and said they worked hard the whole time they were in Nashville.

Webster sent a small group of teachers to Nashville in October for the iNACOL Symposium with the focus being on personalized learning. Board members also took a tour of the schools to reconnect with the students and staff. iNACOL is a nonprofit organization and their mission is to drive the transformation of education systems. They hold a four-day conference annaully and educators from all over the world attend. They also work toward the advancement of breakthrough policies and practices to ensure high-quality learning for all students. “Our students will graduate in the year 2030,” said first grade teacher Laura Eckart. “65 percent of the jobs they will have don’t even exist yet. Isn’t that wild to think about?” Eckart said that one key to students excelling is interdisciplinary teaching - meaning combining one or more subjects to keep the students engaged in their learning.

are creating,” said 2nd grade teacher Christa Peterson. “When they are creating they are most engaged.” 5th grade teacher Monica Gunderson said the sessions she attended were all about the students. “Everything I kept hearing over and over again was ‘focus on the student.’ Help them academically and emotionally,” Gunderson said. “Instruction should be based on competency other than ‘you’ve spent this much time in your seat (or in the classroom) so you get to move on’.” High School Principal Josh Hetfeld also talked about competency. “Some schools are moving away from grade system all together,” Hetfeld said. “They don’t give out A, B and C’s. It’s all about meeting the learning standard

School Board President Mark Elliot said that some of the board members took a “field trip” around the schools to get a closer look at the staff and students. “Sometimes we get detached from them in these meetings. So it was really good to see how the teachers and students interact,” Elliot said. “They were not staged visits where the students and staff went out of their way to impress us.” One of the teachers explained to Elliot that on most days they don’t just draw the whole day, it just happened to be what they were doing on that day. “It was really great to see a snapshot of the schools,” he said. He said they were expecting a certain level of chaos throughout the visit. “You get to see the good and the not so good,” Elliot said. “But these teachers are really good, something happens and they take care of it without missing a beat.”

Nostalgia and a money grab “I’d give you everything I’ve got for a little piece of mind.” That line from “I’m So Tired” was something of a mantra to me as an angst-filled teenager. Y’know that time in your life when you believe you know everything and everyone else is a moron? That was my “White Album” phase. Luckily, in my early 20s, I realized that I know nothing and am wrong a lot. 50 years ago The Beatles released their album “The Beatles” or more commonly known as the “White Album.” They celebrated the anniversary with a collection of new releases. It’s wonderful combination of later 1960s nostalgia and corporate money grab. But to be honest at my age, almost everything I enjoy is nostalgic. Sentinel Over the past two weeks, I have dived deep into the expansive Editor digital release. The digital release Jonathan Richie is about five and a half hours of music total. The best thing about the digital release is the collection of early demos of the album – the Esher demos is what they are referred to because they were recorded at George Harrison’s house in Esher, Surrey after the group got home from their trip to India in 1968. Ringo Starr actually quit during the recording of the album. He went to all other Beatles homes to tell them individually. He told them “I’m leaving the band because you three seem to be getting along so well.” And Ringo tells the story that all three (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison) said to him, “I thought it was you three that were getting along great.” Following up on that Ringo does not play drums on the opening track, “Back in the U.S.S.R.” but does play on the rest of the album. It was an interesting time for the rest of the band as well. Lennon was getting divorced, began seeing Yoko Ono and using heroin, not sure if they are related. Paul McCartney was feeling nostalgic and wrote a number of songs in the style of jazz as an homage to his father, a jazz trumpeter. Songs like “Martha My Dear” and “Honey Pie” are examples of this. He also tried to write the loudest rock song ever with “Helter Skelter.” Harrison and Lennon also put together my least favorite Beatles song – Revolution 9. It’s an avant-garde song with abstract sounds and no real flow to it. Legend has it if you listen to it backwards it has secret messages. As far as the money grab is concerned, it is something all aging rock stars are doing in some way or another. Bob Dylan has thrown his name on his own brand of whiskey and The Rolling Stones just announced another huge stadium tour. It’s just the trend these days. Lastly, I survived both flights to and from Pennsylvania and will have more on the trip in this space in the coming weeks. It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-4632341 or email - editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.

If they get up, deck ‘em again I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving and were able to spend some time with family and friends. It’s a wonderful holiday that gets short changed, in my opinion. Now that Thanksgiving is done, the holdouts who have waited to get into the Christmas mode are getting off the bench and into From the Publisher’s high gear. It is less than a month Desk away, after all. Decorating for Tom Stangl Christmas is a l i illi d multimillion-dollar business. Between the tree and the trimmings and outdoor ornamentation, there are plenty of “halls” to be “decked” this time of year. For nearly all of my married life, my wife Diane has been decorating our home. She has a wonderful eye for decorating, color and symmetry. She also loves Christmas. In the past, we would decorate inside the house as well as outside. The last home we owned in Iowa had a wonderful porch that we could hang icicle lights from and place garland on. We also had a fence that we hung lights and garland on. Every year, I would get

the lights out to see what needed to be replaced before hanging them up. Invariably, something didn’t survive and would need to be replaced. I am a self-confessed curmudgeon when it comes to these tasks and it is a testament to the patience of my wife that our marriage and my body survived outdoor decorating. When we moved to Wisconsin, we brought a lot of the indoor decorations, but precious few of the outdoor ones. The ritual that is observed each year involves Diane locating the boxes of decorations that need to come up from the basement for me to bring up and then getting out of the way. An artist needs space to work and there is precious little that I can contribute beyond moving the boxes. Diane’s trees are truly spectacular and she spends several hours on a weekend to get things just right. Every year it seems we add something different or change the theme. That all changed in 2016 when we adopted a cat. Macie was fascinated by the tree and would climb it in the evening when we were home, resulting in some broken ornaments and added stress. Last year, Macie was not as interested in the tree and we had fewer

incidents. We are quite sure about what to do this year. In April, we adopted a pair of six month old kittens, Felix and Willow. The duo are prolific climbers and enjoy all manner of play. We have some feather toys on a string connected to a wand that, when whipped around, sound a bit like a bird. It’s great fun to see them play, taking turns chasing the feathers. We have no way of knowing how they will react to having a tree with bright lights and all manner of ornaments dangling from the branches. It is extremely frustrating for all to have the tree get disturbed by cats in the tree, so I think we will take a conservative approach to the tree this year. Diane has a plan to put a tree with lights up to see if the kittens will leave it alone. If that succeeds, perhaps some ornaments will be added. I hope it works. Christmas without a tree just won’t be Christmas. 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.

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.

Giving Tuesday an Opportunity for Community Partnerships

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Evers will chart own course as governor WISPOLITICS.COM

Divided government is returning to Wisconsin for the first time since 2008. And that means the first gubernatorial transition since 2010. Eight years ago, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker was taking over for Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle, leaving office voluntarily after two terms. Now it’s Tony Evers taking over for Walker, defeated by the state schools superintendent in an election that saw Democrats sweep all the statewide races. U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin easily won another six-year term, dispatching GOP state Sen. Leah Vukmir. Josh Kaul, a former federal prosecutor, upset Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel. Democrats also won the offices of Treasurer and Secretary of State. But Walker had a Legislature dominated by his own party after the 2010 elections and through the end of this year. Evers will have to contend with a Legislature dominated by Republicans and led by two veteran leaders: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau. The previous Democratic governor, Doyle, enjoyed a Democrat-controlled Legislature for his final two years in office. Evers’ collaborative style could come in handy when it comes to compromise on big issues like road funding. But others worry that if Senate Republicans and Assembly Republicans unite, the Legislature could continually frustrate Evers. In the meantime, Evers is putting together a new administration and transition team led by women. He has named Maggie Gau, his campaign manager and a former legislative aide, as his chief of staff. Originally of Wausau, Gau formerly served as chief of staff for state Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, and state Sen. Janis Ringhand, D-Evansville, and previously worked for former state Rep.

Lake. Before that, Gau was deputy state political director on President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. And Evers’ transition director is JoAnne Anton, a top aide to ex-U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl. The deputy transition director is Tia Torhorst, the director of Strategic Partnerships for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee who managed the 2016 re-election campaign of Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. Also in the mix are a healthy number of ex-Doyle agency leaders. Aaron Olver, the managing director of the University Research Park and a former Commerce secretary under Doyle, will help Evers with personnel recruitment. Olver will lead a 20-person Personnel Advisory Council that will work with making sure the incoming administration appointees reflect talent from around the state. Among the council members are some former top Doyle appointees: » Frank Busalacchi, former Department of Transportation secretary under Doyle. » Sean Dilweg, former Wisconsin Insurance commissioner, now senior vice president government relations for MGIC. » Roberta Gassman, former Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development secretary. » Donsia Hill, former Department of Regulation and Licensing secretary. » Ruben Anthony Jr., head of the Urban League of Greater Madison and a former top DOT official under Doyle. That doesn’t mean the new administration will be Doyle 2.0. But insiders say it’s natural to tap the knowledge of veterans of past administrations. Evers, a less partisan figure, will chart his own course.

In 2017, Giving Tuesday raised over $300 million across 150 countries. Giving Tuesday may be a recent phenomenon, elevated by social media and increasing connectivity, but at its heart, Giving Tuesday taps into an inherent value we are all capable of: kindness. A community, at its core, is made up of individuals. We know that we are stronger when we help lift each other up. While unemployment is low, thousands in northwestern Wisconsin are finding it hard to keep afloat. Many are juggling two or three jobs but are stilling struggling to pay

Learn to cook at the library Have you checked out the library in the new Discovery Center in Osceola, Wisconsin? If not, you should—it’s amazing! I went there last week to do some writing. My goal was to find a new quiet spot. The new building is beautiful and there is a space for everyone. They even have a special adult reading room or in my case a writing room. The room has a fireplace, a couple desks, a big wooden table, and nice chairs that aren’t too comfortable. If they were Wild Chow too comfortable, I wouldn’t get any work done. I’d take a nap. Lisa Erickson The library has always been one of my favorite places in the world. When I was a kid, I road my bike to our local library at least twice a week to check out books or take a class. As an adult, I’ve gone to study, research and read up on whatever I I’ve been into at the time. I eventually had kids and brought them too. The library has been a huge part of my entire life. I’ve heard some people say books will eventually go away. I don’t think so. I love holding a physical book in my hands. I know I’m not alone. Books are easier to read, reference, and especially easier to cook out of! While I was at the new library, I thought about all the things I’ve learned there over the years. One thing that stood out was how I’ve learned to be a better cook. I have checked out hundreds of cookbooks over the years and spent countless hours scouring them, hoping to learn something new, like how to cook wild game or learn about the history of cakes in the U.S. Libraries are amazing places. There is something for everyone—except lunch.

Years ago, one of the first foods I remember researching was beets. I’d had a beet salad at a restaurant but couldn’t find beets at the store. Because I really liked them and wanted to know how to grow them, I went to the library and checked out 5 books on gardening. We’ve been growing beets for years now. Now if I can just convince the librarians to open a snack shop in the hallway so I don’t have to leave.

Library Beet Salad Serves 4 | 400° | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 60 minutes Salad: 2 large beets, greens trimmed 2 cups baby spinach 8 ounces feta cheese 1/2 red onion, sliced thin Dressing: 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 2 tsp country grainy mustard 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1/4 tsp garlic salt freshly ground pepper Preheat oven to 400°. Wrap beets in foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 1 hour or until very tender. Unwrap and cool, then peel. Slice into rounds and set aside. Dressing: in a small bowl, mix red wine vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, and garlic salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Set aside. Divide spinach between 4 plates. Top spinach with one-quarter of the beet slices. Top beets with the feta and onion. Pour dressing over each salad. Serve immediately.

McKenzie Landing slashing case heads to sentencing JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––Allen Gene Thomas, 55, Pepin, was found guilty on two charges of aggravated battery with the intent of causing great bodily harm, a class E felony in September. He will have his sentencing hearing Thursday morning in front of Judge Eugene Harrington in the Burnett County CourtThomas house. Thomas slashed the throats of two men outside of McKenzie Landing Bar and Restaurant in the Town of Scott in July of 2016. He faces possibly 15 years in prison and $50,000 in fines on each count. Thomas was initially charged with two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, a class A felony, but those charges were dropped in April. Thomas was charged with three

counts of perjury last year along with three counts of felony bail jumping. Those charges were also dismissed earlier this year. In Pepin County, Thomas is facing two felony charges of receiving stolen property (>$10,000) and two counts of receiving or concealing stolen property (<$2,500). In Pierce County he faces one felony count of receiving stolen property (>$2,500-$5,000), in a separate case, he is facing attempted theft of movable property (<=$2,500). Thomas was originally scheduled to have his sentencing hearing on Nov. 15, but that was moved back to Nov. 29. In September, Thomas’ court trial was held for two days. During the trial, he had claimed to be drugged by a “punk rocker with dreadlocks”. He said that when he was drugged he had a flashback and thought he heard the victims speaking Russian. Thomas served in the military during the Cold War and was a scout on the German-Czechoslovakian border.

Girl Scout leader dismissed after event for crash victims GREEN BAY—A Girl Scout troop leader in Green Bay has lost her job in the wake of a fundraiser her troop held for families of victims of a fatal crash near Chippewa Falls. The members of Troop 4029 helped host a vigil in Green Bay in honor of three Chippewa Falls-area scouts and a parent who were struck and killed while collecting trash along a rural highway earlier this month. Troop leader Elizabeth Steffel also

No Cavity

helped launch an additional fundraiser involving the sale of a special commemorative badge. Steffel says she was fired for raising money directly for the families of the crash victims without filtering it through scout management. The Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes has a policy that forbids it from commenting on an individual’s employment or volunteer status.

Grantsburg High School presents “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever� GRANTSBURG—�The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,� a hilarious holiday story that will appeal to all ages, will be presented Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1 and 2, in the High School Auditorium. Beth Bradley (Linda Harmon) serves as narrator for the story. Beth’s mother, Grace (Jillian Seeger), gets roped into directing the annual church Christmas pageant when the regular director, Mrs. Armstrong (Katelyn Meier), breaks her leg. Unfortunately, the problems for Grace are only beginning. None of the children in the church want to star in the production – except the Herdman children (Lane Johnson, Hanne John-

son, Luke Trittelwitz, Bruce Lindau, Wes Adams, Alexis Slater). According to the opening of the novel: “The Herdmans were the worst kids in school. They lied, they stole, they cussed their teachers, they took the name of the Lord in vain.� The Herdman children, all six of them, originally came to the church because they heard they could get free dessert after the service. After they are cast in the lead roles in the play, it becomes apparent that they have never heard the Christmas story. After they hear it, the children pour all of their energy into the production. However, their interpretation is not the

traditional version. The community is convinced that the pageant will be a disaster, but the Herdman children transform the predictable Sunday School performance into something unforgettable. A cast and crew of over 50 students have been working since October to bring this holiday production to the Grantsburg stage. This is the third time GHS has presented this script, and anyone who has seen it before will attest to what a charming and entertaining show it is for this time of the year. Show times are 7:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1; and 3 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 2. Tickets will be available at the door.

Apples and oranges always available Monday: Chickenburger w/ďŹ xings, potato wedges, corn, applesauce.

The Wisconsin Policy Forum says in a report Tuesday that this year 90 percent of referendum questions have been approved this year through the Novem-

ber election. The total amount approved this year is more than $2 billion. The previous record for highest dollar amount approved was nearly $1.8 billion in 2016. The Wisconsin Policy Forum says there were 82 questions for more than $1.4 billion in debt and revenue increas-

Stress and Relaxation CARRIE MYERS, RESOURCE SPECIALIST, ADRC OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN

As a caregiver, you need extra tools in your toolbox to cope with the extra demands of caregiving. Caregiving is stressful and truly relaxing isn’t as easy as sitting down for your favorite show, but it also doesn’t have to take a lot of time to make a BIG difference in your life. While a little stress is good for you, too much stress may cause several stress related chronic conditions or make pre-existing chronic conditions worse. The “Relaxation Response�, coined by Dr. Herbert Benson, is when your body’s organs slow down and increase blood flow to the brain. Benson says doing a relaxation technique 10-20 minutes once or twice a day can be enough to counteract the harmful effects of stress on the body. With focus we can get our bodies into a relaxation mode. For example, the progressive muscle relaxation technique is one that might help you give your body a quick break from the constant stressors in your life. This relaxation technique goes as follows: Relax into a comfortable position with the lights dimmed and away from distractions. Breathe deep into your abdomen and exhale fully. Release any tension in your muscles. As you continue to breathe deeply, shift your focus to each group of muscles, one at a time, starting at your toes and ending at your forehead. Contract or tighten each muscle group and hold it for about 5 seconds. When you relax the muscles, notice how they feel. End with 5-6 deep breaths—release the rest of the tension in your body with each exhale. If this technique isn’t for you, don’t fret! There are many types of relaxation exercises and techniques out there. In fact, some people can elicit the relaxation response by doing active, repetitive activities like running or coloring. What’s important is that YOU take time—even just 10 minutes a day—to give your body a break from the stress.

SUBMITTED

Buck of a lifetime Dana “Dutch” Shultz of Grantsburg shot this big boy during last week’s deer season. This 13-pt. beauty had a 19 1/2” spread and an unofficial score of 162.25.

Opening weekend deer season numbers down Burnett County saw a decrease in deers harvested over opening weekend. The Department of Natural Resources said the numbers were down across all Northern Wisconsin. Between Nov. 17 and 20, the DNR reported 1,017 antlered deer and 675 antlerless deer were harvested in Burnett County, bringing the total to 1,692. In 2017, 1,186 antlered deer and 768 anterless deer were harvested in Burnett County - a decrease of 13.4 percent. However, over the entire season, the DNR says 1,711 antlered deer and 1,519 antlerless deer were harvested in Burnett County with the total being 3,230. Last year the total was 3,468 total deer harvested in the county, meaning there were 6.9 percent less deer harvested this year compared to last year. The DNR also reported that

deer license sales were down 2.5 percent across the state. The number of licenses dropped from 794,206 last year to 774,332. Statewide a total of 118,670 deer were harvested by gun and registered statewide during the opening weekend of the gun deer hunt in 2018, compared to 105,216 in 2017. A total of 65,388 bucks were registered on opening weekend, compared to 60,380 in 2017. TWO REPORTED ACCIDENTS The DNR Bureau of Law Enforcement reports two hunting incidents, both of which occurred on Nov. 18 and resulted in injuries. The first was in Columbia County in Marcellon Township – a 24-year-old shooter was participating in a nearby deer drive when he shot at a running deer, striking instead the victim, a 23-year-old male, in the foot. The

victim was a member of the same hunting party. The second incident occurred around 5:05 p.m. in Dunn County in the Village of Colfax. A 21-yearold male who was not wearing blaze orange was working on his downed deer when he was hit in the arm by a bullet from a 17-year-old shooter who thought the victim was a deer. The victim was transported to the hospital and released. Wisconsin’s 10-year average is approximately three hunting incidents for opening weekend of the nine-day gun deer hunt. The decline in incidents is the direct result of hunter safety education given by Wisconsin’s volunteer instructors and conservation wardens. As part of this push for safe hunting, wardens remind all hunters to use the four firearm safety rules as a cornerstone for safe and successful outings.

Novel ideas as the season changes BY CHRIS STUCKENSCHNEIDER

Horror movies send me running, but I relish southern novels with rough characters like those in “The Line That Held Us,� by David Joy. This raw, unpredictable inhale-it-in-one-sitting-read set in Appalachia launches with a tragic accident. Poaching on someone else’s land, Daryl Moody hopes he’ll cross paths with a buck he’s followed for two years with “a rocking chair on his head and a neck thick as a tree trunk.� Hearing a rustle in the underbrush he fires, bagging a man, not a beast. His victim, Carol “Sissy� Brewer, a “ . . . half-wit born to a family even Jesus Christ couldn’t save.� Daryl frantically calls on his best buddy Calvin Hoop-

er who doesn’t want to get involved, but caves. The longtime friends are “work-hard, weekend-warrior, get-upand-go-to church kind of men,� both cast into a no man’s land because of a bad hand that fate has dealt them. The men have no idea what’s in store for them when “Sissy� Brewer’s nutcase of a brother Dwayne discovers why his brother hasn’t come home, a brother he has cared for all of his life who’s as dear to him as Hooper’s live-in girlfriend. As Dwayne plans his revenge, he becomes more unhinged by the minute, the pace of the thriller jettisoning toward a conclusion that will leave readers breathless and a bit surprised. If you can stomach “The Line That Held Us,� you’ll come away satisfied, having been in the hands of a gift-

ed storyteller who raises plausible questions about love and circumstance. Anne Tyler’s “Clock Dance� is subtlety arresting, a character-driven novel that unfolds at a leisurely pace telling Willa Drake’s story as a girl in 1967; a college age, young-married in 1977; a disillusioned wife in 1997; and as an active but aging woman in 2017, a section that comprises the lion’s share of the book. Throughout her life, Willa slides along like a silver orb in a pinball machine, batted this way and that by others who take advantage of this mild-mannered peacemaker. SEE NOVEL IDEAS, PAGE 13

NOVEL IDEAS: Books to pass the time as winter rolls back into our lives CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12

As a child, Willa has an attractive but mean-spirited mother who has frequent “flare ups,” leaving Willa and her little sister in the care of their father, a man his wife dubs Saint Melvin, a high school shop teacher who caters to her whims like a willow bending in the wind. Willa is the good girl in the family, only bucking her parents when she agrees to marry Derek MacIntyre — a terrifying incident on a plane a glaring example of his toxicity. When something happens to Derek, we root for Willa to find happiness with a man who cherishes her because her adult sons aren’t available to her; no one really is. For all of these reasons, it’s easy to understand why Willa latches onto a complete stranger in a crisis, a woman one of her sons used to live with — growing close to the woman’s child too. Willa longs for connections, to have her emotional needs for love and intimacy fulfilled. In “Clock Dance” Tyler brilliantly extracts our deep feelings for Willa, a pleasant character sure to remind readers of someone they know, perhaps even themselves. There’s much to discuss in this moving novel, making it an excellent choice for book groups. The townspeople of Barkley Cove, on the coast of North Carolina, don’t think much of folks who live in the swamplands, trash like the “Marsh Girl.” Alone and lonely, Kya Clark finds peace in nature that surrounds the shack where she ekes out a living, from childhood onward,

in a locale where “The palmetto patches stood unusually quiet except for the low, slow flap of the heron’s wings lifting from the lagoon.” Author Delia Owens sets her atmospheric and engrossing novel “Where the Crawdads Sing” in the 1950s with alternating chapters culminating in 1969, when a man’s twisted body is found at the foot of a nearby fire tower. Any of a number of people could have pushed Chase, a handsome skirt chaser. Though he was married, he dogged Kya, who initially trusted him, as she did Tate, a far kinder soul, a lost love she continues to grieve. All her life, people shunned Kya. As a girl, she weathered an abusive home, her father injured in World War II seeking solace in a bottle and taking his rage out on his wife, who walked off one day. Kya’s siblings soon follow leaving her to fend for herself after her father deserts her. Owens creates an admirable character in the Marsh Girl, and readers will be empathic to the child as she teaches herself to cook and fish, to support herself in any way she can, avoiding those who want to put her in the state’s care. The novel concludes with a courtroom trial beset with prejudice, the townspeople judgmental and cruel, convinced that the Marsh Girl is guilty of Chase’s murder. A bit sluggish and predictable in spots, “Where the Crawdads Sing” redeems itself with a twist at the end. Books suggested in “Novel Ideas” are available at Washington Public Library and can be purchased at Neighborhood Reads in Downtown Washington.

MADISON—A prison near Madison is giving inmates access to a Wisconsin Job Center to help them prepare for life after their release. Oakhill Correctional Institution inmates can use the center’s computers with limited internet access to build resumes, search and apply for jobs, and set up interviews via email, Wisconsin Public Radio reported . The center has been operational for a few weeks and at least one inmate has already found success, according to Jennifer Brikowski, an employment and training specialist based at the Dane County Job Center. “He applied for a job. We got a response back from the employer, and he got offered an interview,” Brikowski said. “So through email, I scheduled the interview for him. He was released on a Thursday. The interview was that following Monday. He went to the interview and got offered the job.” Wisconsin’s unemployment

rate has been about 3 percent for the past eight months. State officials say there are more job openings than there are job seekers. Officials hope to open more job centers at prison to help with the issue. Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Secretary Ray Allen said officials aim to have the center provide hope. “Hope for those who had made a mistake,” Allen said. “Hope that gives them the opportunity to become law-abiding, self-sustaining citizens of this great state.” Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch said the new center helps the Corrections Department live up to its name. “So that our folks who come to our Corrections Department are coming not to a punishment department but a corrections department, where there is an opportunity to learn, to grow your skills and to return to the communities from which they came, as 95 percent of them will, with opportunity,” Kleefisch said.

Anna Karoline (Wicklund) McCarthy Anna Karoline (Wicklund) McCarthy, of Webster, WI, passed away at the age of 85 at Frederic Nursing & Rehab on Wednesday, November 21, 2018. She was born to Vanard and Rachel (James) Wicklund on February 4, 1933, one of 12 children in a small h house on Old Hwy 35 and C Clam River. She went to Webster High S School where she met futture husband Patrick “Pat” M McCarthy. They were marrried June 23, 1951 and had 5 children: Terry, Michael “ “Mickey”, Darryl, Laurie a and Gayle. (A 6th child, Dav vid, died prematurely in the h hospital at 3 weeks of age.) Anna worked several jobs during her life: Hastings State Hospital in the Canteen; Factory Worker for some years at Hudson Manufacturing then promoted to Office as Administrative Secretary and at the same time worked nights as a waitress at Nybo’s. When she and Pat both retired, they bought the “Wicklund” home on Old Hwy 35 in 1989, renovating it into a beautiful retirement home for all the family to enjoy on visits. Patrick died in 1999 and Anna stayed in home for many years there after but decided she needed to move to a smaller place. She found a duplex apartment at the end of East Main Street in Webster, which had woods, and wild life looking out her livingroom patio doors which she enjoyed very much until she became ill in October 2017 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She was very proud of her children, grandchildren and enjoyed them visiting. She also enjoyed her many friends and socializing at her favorite place, The Black & Orange. She enjoyed watching tennis, football and golf and was very knowledgeable in them all. She also enjoyed TV games shows and of course the ID (Investigative Discovery) Channel. She endured a hard childhood, but overcame from that to raise her family, work hard and get through many personal tragedies in her life. A generous person who was always there for family and friends where there was a need. Known for her very funny quips and sayings which made all laugh. Her illness progressed quickly through the year, but we were lucky to have her for 85 years.

The 1st annual Northwoods Autumn Craft Fair held at the Grantsburg High school was a phenomenal success. Organizers said they are excited for what they have planned for 2019.

Northwoods Autumn Craft Fair Community Education hosted its 1st Northwoods Autumn Craft Fair on Nov. 17th from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Grantsburg High School. This event benefits the youth initiatives we offer such as the STAR Mentorship Program and our family focused events that are intended to provide boys and girls in our community with positive experiences with those that are their closest role models. We featured 33 vendors that came from all over, including the Twin Cities, Amery and Pine City. Many children enjoyed the face painting, coloring and crafts. Breakfast and lunch items were sold to help support the Girl Scouts Service Unit 513.

Grantsburg Community Education is all about adding value to life, and this event is a pay it forward experience. Yvonne Sullivan attended one of our community education trips last year, she was inspired by our program and wanted to help further the cause of how we are impacting the community. This event could not have happened without her, and we are so grateful for her investment of time and desire to bring an idea to the table and see it come to life. Thank you to everyone in our community and beyond who participated and attended this event. We are looking forward to an another amazing year in November 2019!

All County Football Team selected GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

Football action in Burnett County was “hot” this season as all three teams boasted above .500 records. This is due to great coaching and great athletes. Our All-County Football Team reflects the fantastic season with a large number of players. We have chosen whom we think are the best.

SOLON SPRINGS—“Solon Springs started out rough” reported Tiger girls coach Matt Wood after Webster lost 49-38 Nov. 13. “We started the game down 19-4. The girls were extremely nervous for the first varsity game of the season. It took us a while to settle

down, but once we started to settle down and breathe we played well. The girls fought back and tied the game at 34 with five minutes to go. We went cold and Solon Springs finished it at the free throw line hitting eight straight to put it out of reach. A lot of good things happened in the game once we settled down, but the first 10 minutes were a struggle and did

Dragons top Springs GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SOLON SPRINGS—Three Dragons scored in double figures as Siren defeated Solon Springs Nov. 15 by a 53-49 margin. The Dragons led at the intermission by a 30-14 score, but ‘Springs put up 35 points to Siren’s 23 in the second half to make the game close.

Northwestern tops Pirates in non-con GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

MAPLE—In the season opener for the Lady Pirates, they traveled up to Northwestern of Maple last Tuesday but came back with an 84-42 setback. Brooke Quimby led the team with 21 points Olivia Ohnstad contributed 16. Said Pirate coach Penny Curtin, “We struggled with their full-court pressure and were unable to convert many possessions into points. They were tall with four girls 5’11” or better and they handled the ball well, making only five turnovers for the game.” The Pirates will have hosted Glenwood City on Tuesday, will host Spooner on Thursday and will host Webster next Tuesday. All varsity games will begin at 7:15 p.m.

The Players to Watch include Camron Tomaszewski and Auston Sigfrids of Webster and Isaac Quimby, Isaac Lee and Sterling McKinley of the Pirates. There’s no doubt who the Most Valuable Player is this year. He is Leo Chenal of the Pirates. His stats prove it. His passing was modest, three for three, 58 yards. Rushing, though, was his forte, 194 attempts, 2,038 yards, 42 touchdowns. He caught 12 passes for 226 yards and three scores. Not only on offense did he shine, but also on defense. He led the team in total tackles with 120, seven for losses and one sack. Our Coach of the Year is Grantsburg’s Adam Hale. His group of seniors this year have never lost a conference game while in high school. He’s taken the Pirates deep into the playoffs year after year, utilizing the skills of the players he has, motivating them as they have never been motivated before. Congratulations, First Team and Honorable Mention members. You gave us a lot of excitement this year. We look forward to seeing the Players to Watch in the coming year. Also congratulations to Leo Chenal and Coach Adam Hale. Best wishes to Leo as he moves to UW-Madison next fall and into a Badger uniform, and to Coach Hale as he continues at Grantsburg. Parents and fans, thanks for your support. These players cannot do what they do without you behind them. Have a great off-season everyone!

Left Alone and at a Loss LESLIE MILK AARP BULLETIN

It happened again recently. I upgraded the operating system on my computer and suddenly couldn’t connect to my home’s Wi-Fi account. It was in my name, but my late husband, Benjamin, had set it up and created the password. Benjamin and I were married for 46 years. He died four years ago, after a harrowing battle with brain cancer. Ever since I have been both missing him and missing clues that would unlock the secrets of our digital and financial lives. I was newly bereaved when I was first locked out of one of our joint accounts, our home email. I contacted the email provider. The conversation did not go well. “How can I help you, Mr. B. Milk?” “I am not Mr. B. Milk. I am his widow. He died, and I can’t get into our email account.” “So sorry for your loss, Mr. B. Milk.” “No. I am not Mr. B. Milk. He died.” “Can you answer your secret question, Mr. B. Milk, and then we can access your account? What was the first school you attended?” Somehow, in all our years together, that had never come up. I took a guess. Wrong. Eventually, I had to hire an online computer firm that, for $149, “scrubbed” my iMac. I got a new password and new secret question and was able to get back into our email. Benjamin and I shared a life, but I soon learned that we didn’t share everything. We talked about major expenditures. But there were dozens of little things concerning our finances that we never discussed. Confronting the paperwork and bureaucracy precipitated by the death of a spouse, I was overwhelmed by the unexpected complications. Benjamin’s illness hit us like a lightning strike. At age 75, he seemed remarkably healthy, with a slim, boyish body and a head of silver hair that friends envied.

I thought he was having a stroke and called 911. He passed the

EMTs’ stroke test, but we went to the nearby hospital emergency room just in case. Our daughter, Meredith, a special education teacher, met us at the hospital. A CT scan revealed a small mass in his brain. Our son, Jeremy, arrived the next day from California. Benjamin apologized for messing up everybody’s weekend. Ten days later, Benjamin was diagnosed with one of the most deadly forms of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme. While dealing with treatment, he tried valiantly to get his papers in order. He even pulled together all of his passwords — a dozen different combinations of letters and numbers — and put them in an email in that joint account. But he never told me what the email was called. After he died, I spent weeks combing through our online inbox looking for the mystery message. He didn’t make it easy. Bad guys trolling would never have found it. I read message after message until I found the passwords in a file labeled “numbers.rev.” I never did find the answers to his secret questions. His first pet? His childhood best friend? The first street where he lived? I’ve had to ask his brother. And I’ve had to remember to tell my children the answers to mine. Looking back, I divide my ignorance into two categories: things I should have known and things I couldn’t have known. I should have known the whereabouts of the documents for what we owned. Like many couples, we thought we had lots of time to arrange our affairs. At a time when it was all I could do to get dressed in the morning, it was hard to hunt for bank records, deeds, insurance policies and investment records, let alone the passwords and secret questions that are the “open sesame” to access assets. One of my first tasks as a widow was to file Benjamin’s will at the county courthouse. Our will was so old that it contained provisions for guardianship of our children, who are now grownups and have children of their own. As I expected, we had named each other as beneficiaries of our IRAs and shared ownership of our home. But I didn’t realize that my husband had one small investment account without a beneficiary. Because his account totaled less than $50,000, it was considered a small estate under Maryland law and probated quickly. As part of the probate process, the estate was advertised in the local paper. Within days I received a call from a man claiming to be from a Delaware law firm representing Benjamin’s creditors. I told him to put his claim in writing, and I never heard from him again. I’ve since learned that some unscrupulous people check obituaries and immediately apply for credit cards in the name of the deceased. Luckily, my son had notified the three major credit agencies right after Benjamin died so nobody could claim his identity.

That was just the beginning of dealing with “death duties.” The conventional wisdom to grieving spouses is not to make major decisions for a year. What they don’t tell you is that you’ll be too busy dealing with minor ones. Benjamin didn’t have life insurance. But he did have an IRA, an investment portfolio, Social Security benefits, Medicare, a Medicare supplemental insurance policy and that small secret investment account. Notifying each government agency and financial institution required a raft of phone calls, notarized forms and multiple meetings. No wonder I was advised to request at least a dozen original death certificates with raised seals! If Benjamin and I had been better organized, I might have been spared some of the unpleasant surprises. But not all of them. When I called our insurance company to report my husband’s death, they immediately raised my automobile insurance rate. Their agent explained that a single driver is a greater insurance risk than a couple sharing a car. Soon after, I notified our primary credit card issuer. They immediately canceled my credit card. It turned out that Benjamin was the owner and I was merely a user. The bank representative explained that as a user, I was not required to pay any balance owed, but they would take it up with the estate. If I overpaid, I would not get a refund. Since I was the representative of the estate, I paid the bill — to the penny. I’ve since discovered that I’m not the only one who thought there was more time. One widow found herself with a huge and valuable gun collection. It took nearly a year to find the paperwork for each gun, sell it and deal with the proceeds as part of the estate. Another woman hadn’t the heart to ask her sick husband about his beloved sports car. “It felt ghoulish,” she said. I met a widower who had to untangle his motherin-law’s finances. His wife had always handled that. A neighbor in her late 70s had never written a check in her 50-plus years of marriage. When her husband died, she wasn’t even sure which bank they used. My four years of widowhood have taught me that grief has no expiration date. It is OK to set your own timetable. I don’t have to decide today or tomorrow what to do with Benjamin’s coin collection. It doesn’t take up much room. There are still surprises that catch me unawares. Our insurance agent sent Benjamin a birthday card recently. He still gets requests to connect on LinkedIn. But not all of the surprises are unhappy ones. A month to the day after Benjamin died, I found an email he wrote to me the night before his brain surgery. In it, he offered advice on what I should keep and what I should sell, friends to consult and advice to ignore. He finished his message with, “Know that you were loved always and mightily.” I’ll never erase that one. Leslie Milk is lifestyle editor for the monthly Washingtonian magazine.

Weatherization assistance Some common weatherization services include: insulating attics, walls and floors; insulating or replacing water heaters; installing energy-efficient lighting; reducing air leakage; repairing or replacing furnaces; testing and/or replacing refrigerators; performing general health and safety inspections; and providing information about maintenance and energy conservation.

THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Did you know that you can get weatherization assistance for your home or apartment at any time during the year? The Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) offers several benefits, but the program limits most of them to emergencies. In Wisconsin, most energy emergencies occur during the cold winter months. However, there is one benefit – weatherization – that is available year-round. The purpose of the weatherization benefit is to reduce your home heating bills, save energy, and make your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The weatherization benefit involves a one-time visit by an energy auditor who will look at your home and see what can be done to make it more energy efficient. Weatherization services for each home are different, and depend on how it was built and its condition.

HOW IT WORKS The Division of Energy Services contracts with various agencies throughout the state to provide weatherization services to eligible households. Agencies include community action agencies, housing authorities, local governments, and other non-profit organizations. The weatherization agency for your area receives a list of eligible applicants from WHEAP and determines service priority and the eligibility for your home. The program

targets households with an excessive energy burden, especially ones that are made up of individuals who are elderly,

‘The purpose of the weatherization benefit is to reduce your home heating bills, save energy, and make your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.’ handicapped and/or children under six years old. Local weatherization agencies contact the highest priority households to evaluate the home or apartment and decide what weatherization services are needed. Agency crews and subcontractors complete

appropriate weatherization services. If you rent your home or apartment, you may need to work with your landlord to make sure your lease permits the weatherization services. AM I ELIGIBLE? You may be eligible for weatherization services if: • You received benefits from Wisconsin’s Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) or your gross income for the last three months is equal to or less than 60 percent of Wisconsin’s state median income (SMI) for your family size; • Your household meets certain priorities that may include a high energy burden or use, an elderly or disabled member or a child under six; and • The program did not weatherize your dwelling/apartment before. (If a previous owner or tenant received weatherization services before you moved in, your dwelling will not be eligible for the benefit).

The weatherization program uses a previous three-month income test, which is annualized to determine program income eligibility. The income cap ranges from annual income of $70,594 per year for a household of eight to $25,601 for a household of one. HOW DO I APPLY? You can apply for weatherization assistance at your local Wisconsin Heating Energy Assistance agency, or you can contact your ADRC to locate where to apply in your county. You can also visit homeenergyplus.wi.gov, click on the “Where to Apply” tab, and select your county or tribe. Even though applying for weatherization assistance is not a guarantee of benefits, you never know if your situation will take priority. Agencies consider many factors, and there is no harm or cost to applying!

Hypothermia and older adults KIM CALVIN NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING

With winter’s return, the colder temperatures bring some particular risks for older adults and people with chronic conditions. Older adults can lose body heat faster than when they were younger, and changes in their bodies can make it more difficult to be aware of a drop in body temperature. The result can be a dangerous condition called hypothermia. Hypothermia occurs when a person’s core body temperature drops to 95 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Even a small drop in temperature and short exposure to cold weather can develop into hypothermia. Some warnings signs of hypothermia include slowed or slurred speech; sleepiness or confusion; shivering or

stiffness in the arms and legs; poor control over body movements; slow reactions, or a weak pulse. Older adults are especially vulnerable to hypothermia because their bodies’ response to cold can be diminished by chronic medical conditions and by use of some medicines, including over-the-counter cold remedies. If you suspect hypothermia, or if you observe these symptoms, call 911. The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, has some advice to help older adults prevent this dangerous condition: • Check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if any prescription or over-the-counter medications you are taking may increase your risk for hypothermia. • Make sure your home is warm enough. Set the thermostat to at least 68 to 70 degrees. Even mildly cool homes with temperatures from 60 to 65 degrees can lead to hypothermia in older adults. • To stay warm at home, wear long underwear under your clothes, along with socks and slippers. Use a blanket or afghan to keep your legs and shoulders warm, and wear a hat or cap indoors. • When going outside in the cold, it is important to wear a hat, along with a scarf, because a large portion of body heat can be lost through the head. Gloves or mittens can help prevent loss of body heat through your hands. Wear several layers of loose clothing to help trap warm air between the layers. • Let someone know when you are going outdoors and carry a fully charged cellphone.

Are you really ready to retire?

• States, territories, tribes, and tribal organization may be able to help eligible households pay for home heating and cooling costs. People interested in applying for assistance should contact their local or state social services agency. To learn more, go to Cold Weather Safety for Older Adults. Free publications on cold weather safety and other healthy aging topics in English and Spanish are available from the NIA website or by calling NIA’s toll-free number: 1-800-222-2225. About the National Institute on Aging: The NIA leads the federal government effort conducting and supporting research on aging and the health and well-being of older people. The Institute’s broad scientific program seeks to understand the nature of aging and to extend the healthy, active years of life. For more information on research, aging, and health, go to the NIA website. About the National Institutes of Health (NIH): NIH, the nation’s medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

JERI SEDLAR AND RICK MINERS, AARP BULLETIN

Retirement can be surprisingly stressful. You’re trading the familiarity and stimulation of a job for an unstructured life of redefinition. But the more you plan your transition, the easier it will be. So ask yourself these questions, based on ones that psychotherapist Tessa Albert Warschaw devised for us. They’ll help you judge how prepared you are. • What will you miss from work? The challenges? The social life? Your authority? • Will not working make you feel less vital? • Do you have an agenda for filling your time with your choice of hobbies and interests? • What will make you rise each day as excited as you were at the high points of your career? • What ambitions are you waiting to fulfill? • How do you think your being around the home more will affect your partner, if you have one? What does your partner think? • To what extent will you be in service to other family members once you retire? How do you feel about? If you have answers for all these questions, that’s great. But if any stump you, start reflecting on them. They’ll probably raise more questions for you (and, if applicable, your partner). And that’s good. The more answers you have, the more ready you’ll be to retire well. Jeri Sedlar and Rick Miners are coauthors of Don’t Retire, Rewire! (Alpha Books), on which this article is based.

What experts know that you don’t AARP BULLETIN

“A burglar’s goal is your bedroom.”— The police officer. Chris Bianez, 56, is an officer with the Plano, Texas, police department. Strengthen your front-door dead bolt. Many builders don’t drill the hole for the bolt deep enough. And most strike plates — that metal square on the door frame — are secured with only halfinch screws. Burglars can just kick them open. Use 4-inch screws to secure your dead bolt, or get someone to do it and specify that this is what you want. Don’t open the door to strangers. Widows especially are old school and want to be hospitable. Act as if someone else is home with you: Say, “Honey, I’ve got it,” and speak through the door. If friends routinely come over, tell them to call when they arrive. There’s no burden of proof in calling 911. Say someone asks, through the door, for directions. In the age of Google Maps and GPS? They should know where they are. Call 911. It is not your job to be 100 percent correct. If your intuition keys in on something, make the call. Install a peephole on any door leading to the garage. Don’t just have one in your front door. Lots of bad guys try to get in this way. The ultimate goal of a burglar is the master bedroom. They want your cash, your jewelry and your firearms. Put junk jewelry in a jewelry box, and hide the good stuff in another room.

“Your home is worth less than you think.” — The real estate agent. June Cosgrove-Hays, 57, Sells real estate with Green Team Home Selling System in Warwick, NY The first offer is often the best. Serious buyers tend to move quickly when they find the right house. They’ll often make a fair offer right away. If a good

offer comes in right after you list, don’t hold out for a bigger offer that may not come. Your home is probably worth less than you think. It’s human nature to overvalue a home you have lived happily in for many years. You might be a bit disappointed when your agent shows you what comparable houses have sold for, but price your home based on the market comps. If your house sits for a long time, potential buyers will begin to wonder what’s wrong with it. Brightness sells. Buyers love a sunny, well-lit house. When you have an appointment to show the house, turn on all the lights — even if it’s a sunny day — and pull up all the blinds. Have a clutter basket. Getting that last-minute call for a showing is always a hassle. To make it easier, get a nice woven basket that you can gather clutter into. Cover the basket with an attractive throw blanket and place it near the sofa or put it in the bathroom covered with a couple of crisp clean towels. Get the dirt on your new community before buying. Subscribe to the local weekly newspaper. You’ll get a sense of what it’s like to live there. More important, you’ll avoid buying two blocks away from a planned shopping mall or fracking operation. “Use real paint to pick wall colors.” — The color expert. Andrea Magno, 40, is A Benjamin Moore Color and Design Expert. Experiment with bold colors in small areas that are easily repainted. For example, paint the back of built-in shelves a deep color to accentuate items on display, or try a bold color on a small piece of furniture. Painting kitchen cabinets is the most economical way to revitalize a kitchen. Just pick a color that works with existing elements like countertops or tile.

Wound Healing Center Data results from 2017 Healogics business analytics and iHeal wound outcomes database.

Don’t rely on paint chips to pick a color. Buy a sample container of your chosen color and paint a big piece of poster board. Move it around the room at different times to see how it looks in different light. Sunlight from the south looks and feels warm. If a room gets lots of southern light, just about any color will look fine. Light from the north is cooler. Greens and blues add to a cool feel in a room, while a soft, warm color will balance the cooler light. “Install blinds, not curtains.” — The contractor. Thom Woglom, 64, owns Thom Woglom Construction in Warwick, NY Raise your outlets. Electrical outlets are typically about 16 inches from the floor — because that’s the length of the hammer electricians use to measure outlet height. If you are remodeling, have the outlets set at 24 inches. They’ll be easier to reach. Interior doors are typically only 30 or 32 inches wide. That’s too narrow for a wheelchair or walker. When building new, it costs only a little more to install a doorway that is 36 inches wide or wider. Your attic hatch with drop-down stairs is likely not insulated. That’s a major heat loss! A lightweight movable insulated box over the opening pays for itself in no time. Install blinds to lower heating costs. Curtains hang away from the wall, and that space actually increases heat loss through the window. Blinds keep the heat inside. Pick a tall toilet. They’re sold as “comfort height” — about 17 inches instead of the standard 15 inches. The extra height is easier on the knees and back as we age. “A simple plunger works best.” — The plumber. Weston Barnes, 56, works at 3 Brothers Plumbing in Clancy, Mont. Don’t put grease down the kitchen sink. Scrape your dishes off in the garbage instead. Minimize what you put down the sink, especially if you’re on a septic system. Products like Liquid-Plumr or Drano are not our friend. When they don’t work and you call us up, it makes our job harder. If you want to avoid a service call for a clog, a simple plunger works best, or a basic closet auger or snake. But most people don’t want to spend money on an auger. Only use a toilet for what it’s designed to do. I’ve seen where a little kid flushed a whole bedsheet down a toilet once. But one of the worst was a pair of athletic tights. The best way to keep a toilet bowl clean is to use a brush on a regular basis. I never put a cleaner in a toilet tank. They don’t work as well, and they can cause clogs. “On a leash, keep your dog within 6 feet of you.” —The veterinarian. Krista Magnifico, 48, owns a small-animal veterinary hospital in Jarrettsville, MD., and developed Pawbly.com, a pet health website. I hate retractable leashes. They’re dangerous. I’ve seen them do terrible damage to my clients — lacerating their hands, wrapping around their legs, making them trip and fall. They’re not safe for dogs, either — I’ve seen dogs on them who’ve been hit by cars. Your dog

belongs within 6 feet of you at all times when outside. Yes, you really should brush your dog’s teeth. Relying on teeth-cleaning dog treats would be like chewing gum as your only dental health strategy. Each day wrap a piece of gauze around your finger and gently rub tooth surfaces down to the gumline. You don’t need a special brush, or even toothpaste. It’s not just chocolate. Don’t give your dog grapes, raisins, avocado, macadamia nuts, the artificial sweetener xylitol or onions and garlic. If your dog eats one chocolate chip off the floor, he’s most likely just fine. If he just ate a candy bar, use one of the chocolate-consumption calculators online to determine if it is an emergency. All those other foods vets warn about? You shouldn’t give them to your dog, either. Garlic and onions affect red blood cells and can cause anemia, for example. “You can insure your identity.” — The insurance expert. Charles Robinson, 64, is an agent in Warrenton, VA. Notify your agent when you retire and stop driving 20 miles to and from work. There’s a discount for driving fewer miles. Did you know you can insure your identity? It’s available as a rider on many homeowner policies for as little as $25 a year. If your identity is stolen, the insurer will work with police and credit bureaus to restore your good name, and reimburse costs related to repairing your credit. You can save about $100 a year with some insurance companies by installing a tracking device to monitor your driving habits. I saved $98 last year doing so. Before you file a claim, talk with your agent to make sure it’s valid. If mold is caused by a roof leak, or a pinprick in a pipe, for instance, it generally is not covered. A bad claim in the database could make it tougher to file a later claim.

Jesus, who was supremely rich with all the comforts and securities of heaven, humbly lowered Himself as a man to the point of the most impoverished death ever – crucifixion on a cross – so that we, who are truly impoverished with sin, could finally receive the eternal riches of being saved by Jesus and one day welcomed into His rest in heaven forever!

Christmas at the Forts 2018, frosty fun for everyone! DANBURY—Visitors will drive through the stockade gates and enter a world of Christmas splendor. Here they will be able to enjoy sleigh rides through pine forests, drink hot chocolate by a roaring fire, and listen to delightful stories inside the cozy storyteller cabin. Guests may want to dine in our Wild Rice Cafe while being entertained with live holiday music and view the beautiful Christmas trees decorated by the Danbury, Siren, and Webster Volunteer Fire Departments. These gorgeous trees will be donated to Interfaith Caregivers who will then deliver the fully decorated trees to three needy Burnett County families following the event. Guests who want to do some Christmas shopping will have lots of opportunities by either perusing our gift shop with its many one-of-a- kind items, purchasing sweets at the bake sale (sponsored by Friends of the Library, Interfaith Caregivers, and the Orange 4-H Club), or bid on a vast array of items in our Silent Auction---which takes place the first two days of our event. Numerous, beautiful gift baskets, gift certificates, and unique items have been donated by generous local businesses. Children 12 and under, can shop in our whimsical Elves’ Store to purchase gifts for Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa for a nominal fee with the help from Santa’s elves----who will even wrap their gifts! Face painting will also be offered along with many photo ops–perhaps
