Prelim set in embezzlement case SIREN—A Grantsburg woman, charged with three counts of theft from Bethany Lutheran Church in Grantsburg, was released on a $5,000 signature bond following an initial appearance in Burnett County Circuit Court last week. Dorothy White, 61, allegedly embezzled more than $83,000 over three years while she served as treasurer for the church. In her initial appearance in court last Wednesday, Judge

Ken Kutz set June 8 as the preliminary hearing for White, although court sources told the Sentinel that Bill Norine, the county’s District Attorney, will seek a continuance as the lead detective in the case will be gone that day. In addition to her bond, White is to have no contact with Bethany Lutheran Church, members of its church council nor Pastor Jay Ticknor. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel Dorothy A. White

Gburg man faces 11th OWI charge FREDERIC—It was far from anyone’s lucky day when authorities were dispatched to a Frederic auto parts store just shortly after 5 p.m. on St. Patrick’s Day. According to police reports, a man had been traveling at a high rate of speed through the store’s parking lot, and at one point, staff even thought he might drive through the building wall. But the driver, 47-year-old Daniel Hess of Grantsburg, came to a stop right in front of the building, and promptly passed out. Hess was slumped over his steering wheel for several min-

utes, and at first glance, staff thought he might be texting or emailing on his phone. But 15 minutes later, staff found him unconscious and unresponsive, at which time they called for help. According to police reports, after EMTs checked Hess out, he gave several stories to what had happened to him that day. He was heading home, to a friends house, and to work. He was also coming from an 11-hour shift, had been sleeping for 12 hours, Daniel Hess

The life and death of the Marshland Visitor Center BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG —Frequent travelers on Highway 70 across the St. Croix River Bridge were greeted with a new sight earlier this month —a hole in the ground where the National Park Service’s (NPS) Marshland Visitor Center on the river’s west bank used to stand. “We had been working on a plan for its removal for awhile now,” Julie Galonska, Acting Superintendent and Chief of Interpretation, Education SEE CENTER, PAGE 9

‘Look what I found!’ Charlie Grimm was one of dozens of kids “hunting” for Easter eggs at the annual event in Danbury on Saturday. Because of inclement weather, volunteers “hid” 1,660 eggs on the main ﬂoor of the Swiss Town Hall. More photos on Page 32.

Falun Baptist welcomes Kleven as new pastor ber when I was four or five years old the two of us sitting in chairs having devotions every morning.” By that age he felt he already had a heart for God and a sensitivity to God. “I knew if I did something wrong, I’d track my mom down and we’d sit and pray about it,” he continued. Flash forward to high school and Kleven picked up on a sense he was heading toward ministry. “I was at a family reunion and my 25-year-old cousin and I went ice fishing,” he related. “As we were driving on the lake the car broke through the ice —I was able to get out but she wasn’t.” He was able to grab a piece of ice

FALUN—A lot of water has passed under the bridge since 15 year-old Mike Kleven got out of a sinking car which had crashed through the ice when he was going ice fishing with a cousin in western Minnesota, but it was one of those defining moments which helped lead to his life in the ministry. Kleven is the pastor at First Baptist Church in Falun and has served there since December. In addition to the ice fishing incident, he credits his life in the ministry to his formative years. “I grew up in a solid Christian home,” he recalled. “My mom was a solid believer and I can remem-

Fire Association agrees to sell old hall BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

Webster School Board Editor’s note: Profiles were scheduled to appear in the March 23 edition. Ms. Smith, as indicated in last week’s paper, had not chosen to submit a profile, her profile was simply “lost” in cyberspace. Our apologies for the delay. Her profile appears as follows: KATIE SMITH— challenger My name is Katie Smith, I am a wife, mother of four children and the branch manager at US Bank in Webster. I also currently serve as the treasurer for the Webster Chamber of Commerce, on the I-team (vulnerable adult and elder abuse) board for Burnett County, and I volunteer at the AWANA program through church. With four children in school and a husband who is a teacher, I spend a lot of time within the school walls and try to be an active parent in our school district. It is wonderful to be part of a community that believes in education and provides our children with the best possible learning opportunities. I believe that Webster has a strong administration, school board and staff that share these same beliefs. I am very familiar with how the school is run but would like the opportunity to be more involved in that part of the district. My main goal in running for school board is to make sure that our children continue to have the wonderful learning opportunities they currently do and to continue to keep the district running as well as it does.

GRANTSBURG–The six municipalities that make up the Grantsburg Fire Association agreed Monday, March 21 to put the old Grantsburg Fire Hall on Oak Street up for sale. Built in 1962, the building has six side-by-side garage stalls with tall garage doors and an attached office. The Grantsburg Fire Department outgrew the building, and in 2015 moved into new quarters at Pine Street and Broadway. The old fire hall has been vacant for about one year. A dispute among the six member municipalities kept it off the real estate market until they agreed Monday night to put it up for sale. Before the building sale process could get underway, all six municipalities served by the Grantsburg Fire Department had to sign off on the approval to sell; however, the Town of Wood River had refused to sign. Its board members wanted the fire association to agree to a new way of funding the purchase of replacement fire equipment, including new firetrucks.

One of Grantsburg Fire Department’s firetrucks is due to be replaced now and another in eight years, as the trucks reach 30 years of service. Generally, a new firetruck is estimated to cost about $250,000 and remains in use for 30 years. Interviewed by the Sentinel earlier in March, Wood River Town Chairman Joel Johnson said he wanted the fire association members to agree to each pay an equal share of the replacement cost of fire trucks, rather than the more typical method of payments based on equalized property values. With Town of Wood River already paying such a large portion of the cost of the new Grantsburg Fire Hall, he suggested splitting the purchase of a new firetruck into six equal shares. The Wood River proposal would mean some of the six municipalities, including West Marshland and Trade Lake, would see a big increase in their share of the firetruck expense, while Wood River’s share would markedly decrease. Johnson felt that idea was fair because Wood River Township, based on its property values, is paying nearly one-third

(32.75 percent) of the cost of the new fire hall, almost $1 million in payments over 30 years. The next largest share of the fall hall cost is the Village of Grantsburg, whose residents will pay a bit more than $500,000 (17.69 percent) over 30 years. The matter of who should pay what for the new firetruck was not discussed at the meeting Monday. Instead, the fire association board talked about ways to eliminate one firetruck over time by purchasing trucks with a larger water-carrying capacity. They also talked about the importance of developing and sticking to a replacement plan for all firefighting equipment as it wears out or becomes obsolete, and not delay purchases. Coincidentally, a person at Monday’s meeting expressed interest in buying the building. The fire association board said it plans to advertise the building for sale in this newspaper in late April or early May. In about 4-6 weeks, the board will list the building for sale at an online auction site www.wisconsinsurplus.com and sell the building via that web site. All bids will be taken online.

‘Robin Hood’ on Siren stage this weekend

SIREN—“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!” The hearty laughter of Robin Hood and his Merry Band will sweep through the trees of Sherwood Forest temporarily transplanted to Siren Schools this weekend. Scores of local children will take the stage, along with two professional actors, in Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre’s original musical production of “Robin Hood.”

Performances are slated for Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2, both at 7 p.m. in the Siren Schools auditorium “Robin Hood,” with original script and music by Daniel Nordquist, continues Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre’s tradition of presenting classic tales as you’ve never seen. Though set traditionally in the 12th century, complete with faeries and gnomes, Prairie Fire’s version features the Sheriff of Nottingham as a man ahead of his time…

way ahead… eight centuries ahead, in fact. He is a visionary, but in his vision he sees the trees of Sherwood Forest gone, and in their place stand “Sherwood Theme Park” and “The Mall of Nottingham.” In his way stands the environmentally conscious outlaw, Robin Hood. Tickets for the performances are available at the door. The Prairie Fire Theatre residency is sponsored by Moms For Kids.

Handling a difficult situation It had all the ingredients for a nasty brouhaha — an issue involving school-aged kids, parents, students and other adults on either side of the issue and a looming deadline for a decision. That was the stage going into last week’s Webster School Board meeting. At stake was whether Webster would remain a member of the Burnett Blizzard girls hockey cooperative team, or whether the school would splinter off and join the Hayward co-op team. In this day and age, the first question would have to be about the money. As I understand it, it is up to Seems to each individual athlete to find Me her way to practice each night of season. Todd Beckmann the If that’s truly the case, the argument would be a 50-minute drive (one-way, no less) to Hayward in the dead of winter, five nights per week, versus a 10-minute drive to Siren — or the occasional 30-minute drive to the Grantsburg rink. Who can afford that? And, why pay the extra if you don’t have to? And, speaking of costs, let’s not forget the fee for the “opportunity” to play for Hayward. Yes, there’s a fee to play for the Blizzard, and the $300 for the season might be a stretch for some families. But, the reports of $1,400 to $3,800 in fees to play in Hayward is a hard pill to swallow. Blizzard supporter Jason Lee heard that news and asked and answered his own question — “What happens to the ones who can’t pay? They don’t play.” One of the biggest arguments was whether or not there were enough girls to field a viable team. Ruben Ruiz, the Webster dad who wants his daughter to be able to play in Hayward, said there’s not enough skaters to support a local team. However, Dave Doty, an ardent Blizzard supporter from Siren, told the crowd that the team is “thin” right now, but it will rebound and there is no reason to abandon ship. I believe a case could be made for that being the case in every sport. Doty went on to say that the Lady Blizzard had a strong team three or four years ago — in fact, several of those players are now skating at the collegiate level. Before he turned it over to discussion from concerned individuals, it is my opinion that board president Mark Elliott diffused the whole situation by saying, in essence, that the school board needs to look at the whole picture and can’t look at the viability of one family’s issues. His grace under pressure was solidified later in the meeting, when he was presented a 20-year plaque for the number of years he has served Webster students’ best interests.

Rage against the dying of the light “I intend to live forever, or die trying.” — Groucho Marx I’ve been thinking about death lately. Don’t worry, I’m fine. No psychological issues, no underlying health concerns, thanks for asking. But as one of the last of the Baby Boom generation, I have found it more than a bit disconcerting to see celebrities in their 60s and 70s From the die. Last week, Publisher’s comedian Garry Desk Shandling died of a heart attack. Tom Stangl He was 66. I will always remember Shandling, who was so good at being awkward, for his satiric take on late night television, “The Larry Sanders Show.” Shandling played a late night talk show host, modeled after Johnny Carson, in a quasi-reality show within a show. The late Rip Torn was outstanding as Artie, the producer. Great stuff. Glenn Frey, one of the founding members of the Eagles, died in January at 67. Frey and Don Henley formed the nucleus of the group, which had a string of hits in

the 1970s before breaking up in the 1980s. They reunited and toured in the 1990s on the “Hell Freezes Over” tour. I bet that if you surveyed people around my age and slightly older, they would admit to owning at least one copy of the Eagles Greatest Hits, the largest selling album of the 20th century. I believe I have it on vinyl and cassette. In a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone, Frey commented that the greatest hits album had topped 30 million copies sold. That’s a lot of records, 8-tracks, cassettes, CDs and downloads. Actor Alan Rickman, who played the role of Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films and Hans Gruber, the villain in Die Hard, died in January at the age of 69. For me, Rickman and his memorable voice will always come into my head whenever I read Harry Potter. David Bowie, also 69, died this year. I never fully appreciated his contributions until the end of his career. Some sweet, sweet tunes. Usually, at the end of the year, many media outlets reflect on the celebrities that have died during the previous 12 months. It’s a touching – and at the same time – morbid moment that I almost always watch. It’s not a pleasant thing contemplating the end, but as we age, we

are foolish to ignore the inevitable. Even retirement planners ask about how old your parents were when they died to get a benchmark of how long you will live to get an idea of how much money you will need to retire. I realize it sounds a bit self absorbed, but my generation has, for the most part, seen itself as redefining every aspect of life and culture. Yes, it is narcissistic, but that’s sort of our deal. Aging, retirement and death are the next logical steps, and I doubt that many boomers will go quietly into that long good night. But, it always gives me pause when I learn that people like wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper, singer Lynn Anderson and REO Speedwagon guitarist Gary Richrath all died last yea. All were in their 60s. I guess the takeaway is to live your life to the fullest every day, and not obsess over the inevitable. “Do not take life too seriously.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR An open letter to my Congressman To the Editor: Rep. Duffy, I’m Dave Carroll, a businessman living in the Grantsburg rural area for 11 years. I thank you for your service and know it is a tough job. We are both men of faith, and my premise today is underscored by the following National Catholic Reporter’s article: “Climate Change is the Number 1 ProLife Issue.” They are not alone. The book Religion and Global Climate Change provides similar bold statements from many religions, including our denominations. Just this week, peer-reviewed science points to a substantial risk of ocean rise of not 3-4 feet by 2100, as previously stated, but several meters in 50-150 years. An even speedier impact is shown by Scientific American’s November article, “Extreme Heat.” This has an interactive U.S. major city graphic. It shows heat will be untenable in many areas if we remain fossil-fuel based. The 144 cities highlighted reveal that in as little as 15 years, 84 of those cities will jump from one day or less to 20 or more 105 index-degree Danger Days per year. Quite shocking. A study released January 18 by Lawrence Livermore Labs (working with NOAA and universities) says: “Earth’s oceans have absorbed man-made heat energy equivalent to a Hiroshima-style bomb being exploded every second for 75 straight years.” That is way too much added energy with too much pollution for the earth systems to remain in balance. So, we have upset God’s creation with this enormous impact. Ocean acidity and thermal pollution of sea and land systems are rising much too quickly. God’s blessed balance requires our attention. We need government to help protect our precious sustainability. I’ll give you that it is a time for less government on other things, but on this issue it is time for an all-out, poignant, well-directed and smart leadership effort. Bottom line is that human-caused climate change is the most critical of all issues. Without a solution, Republican and Democratic bucket lists, even if accomplished, will be of little or no value. So, as my Congressman, I ask for a new priority. I ask you to help move us back to a sustainable, God-given bal-

ance. According to one study result, you now have the backing of 54 percent of Republicans who believe climate change is a major problem and want 50 percent renewable power by 2030. Also, I am open to most any efforts in this regard. However, I specifically ask for your consideration to support Fee and Dividend (see reference). As you have heard already, it is a way to address the Climate Change challenge by incentivised reduction of fossil fuel use and returning 100 percent of fees to those who use less. Dave Carroll Grantsburg

It takes a community Dear Editor: Earlier in the year I wrote about 2015 donations that the Grantsburg Area Food Shelf (GAFS) received. There are also some that were missed and I would like to recognize them now. GAFS received 74 pounds of ground beef from Indianhead Credit Union. Roger Corty donated three wagon loads of fresh sweet corn (which was delicious) — some GAFS clients got enough corn to freeze for winter. Big Wood Lake Association donated 70 items. Lock and Load gave 255 pounds of ground venison. Grantsburg Girl Scouts gave 200 boxes of cookies. Boy Scouts gave 30 items. Rotary gave 40 items and Mrs. Nell Polzine’s Grantsburg Elementary second-grade class collected 130 items of food. GAFS always needs Mac ‘n Cheese, cream corn, and peas. But again, we are encouraging money donations. Remember, it is tax-deductible. We are so very fortunate to live in such a caring, giving, community that reaches out to help support the food shelf. GAFS wants to thank all the volunteers who come on Tuesday to replenish the shelves and on Thursdays to help give out food, Lyman Rand for picking up donations from Grantsburg Family Foods and Minut-Mart for their weekly donations and the nine area churches that are GAFS members and provide staff help every week, and the other area churches for their continued support. Many thanks to all of you. Linda Anderson Food Shelf Board President

Tornado, severe weather awareness drill April 14 SIREN—Did you know that most tornado touchdowns occur between 4 - 9 p.m.? That’s why the State of Wisconsin has added a second tornado drill to allow families and businesses the chance to test their tornado and severe weather plans. Governor Walker has declared April 11-15, 2016 as Wisconsin’s Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week. Burnett County Emergency Management, Wisconsin Emergency Management, the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association (WBA) have once again teamed up to sponsor the statewide tornado drill scheduled for Thursday, April 14. On Thursday, April 14, a mock tornado watch will be issued at 1 p.m. Then, at 1:45 p.m., a mock tornado warning will be issued statewide. In addition, for the first time, a mock tornado warning will also be issued at 6:55 p.m. Many radio and TV stations across the state will issue the test tornado warnings. Mock alerts also will be issued on NOAA Weather Radios and many communities will sound their tornado sirens. The statewide tornado drill is a great opportunity for schools, businesses and families to test their emergency plans about what to do and where to go when severe weather strikes. The tornado drill will take place even if the sky is cloudy, dark and or rainy. If actual severe storms are expected in the state on Thursday, April 14, the tornado drills will be postponed until Friday, April 15 with the same times. If

severe storms are possible Friday the drills will be cancelled.

Skywarn Spotter training April 5

Burnett County is hosting a Skywarn Spotter training class at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 5, in Room 165 of Burnett County Government Center in Siren. It is free and open to the public. What can you do? Listen, Act and Live! Listen: When severe weather is possible (a thunderstorm or tornado watch issued). Pick a credible source of information and keep in touch with that source until the danger has passed. One of the best tools is a NOAA weather radio (also known as an emergency weather radio). If you don’t have one, get one. Act: When you hear a Tornado Warning (tornado seen by spotters or detected on radar) seek the best shelter you can find immediately. Don’t waste time checking multiple sources of information. You may have only seconds to find a safe place. Live: Your chances of survival multiply by getting to that shelter right away. Hopefully the storm will pass with no damage. But don’t risk your life on a hope. For more information, visit the ReadyWisconsin website http://readywisconsin.wi.gov. You’ll find great information on how to protect yourself and your family from tornadoes and other severe weather threats. You can see tornado survival stories from those who lived through disaster, thanks to an emergency weather radio.

and had gotten lost on his way home. He also stated heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d stopped drinking at around 1 a.m. that day. After failing the standard field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test of .123, Hess was taken to the hospital where a warrant had to be issued for a blood draw. According to the police report, while at the hospital authorities received record of Hessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 previous OWI offenses, the first in 1989 and the most recent in 2009. By 8:30 p.m. that evening, Hess was issued his 11th OWI citation.

NEWSLINE Grantsburg High School presents â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Drama Department of Grantsburg High School will be presenting the Pulitzer Prize-winning play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Townâ&#x20AC;? on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 1, 2, and 3 in the high school auditorium. The play is â&#x20AC;&#x153;an enduring work of American dramaâ&#x20AC;? that emphasizes the beauty in the ordinary aspects of life in a small town at the turn of the century. The playwright, Thornton Wilder, was born in Madison, WI and won the Pulitzer Prize for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Townâ&#x20AC;? in 1938. More than 40 students, along with Director Linda Benge and several adult volunteers, have been working hard to bring this classic to the stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play is a script that many people study in school,â&#x20AC;? said Benge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is challenging to work on something that has been performed by so many famous actors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, I think that there are many parallels between the small town of Groverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners and the small town of Grantsburg,â&#x20AC;? Benge continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe that gives these student actors a special insight into the story. The values are very similar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe there is something special about living in a small town that helps us enjoy the ordinary.â&#x20AC;? It is estimated that this play has been performed somewhere in the world at least once every night since it was published. It is an American classic. Friday and Saturday evening performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday matinee will be at 3 p.m. Tickets available at the door.

WEBSTERâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Six of the 16 Webster High School students who were part of the Spanish Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to Puerto Rico earlier in March were able to compress the eight days of their trip into a 10-minute presentation to the Webster School Board last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the first time on a plane for six of our kids,â&#x20AC;? Spanish teacher Stefanie Janssen related. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was also the first time in the ocean for five of our kids and even one of our chaperones.â&#x20AC;? The kids were very animated in the re-telling of the trip, which included a day at the beach, spelunking, zip-lining, visiting historical and cultural places and, thanks to Terry and Brenda Larsen and Larsen Auto Center, were able to enjoy a catamaran trip and snorkeling. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the food â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lots of rice and beans but some exotic dishes as well. The food wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just for eating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were at an open market where we did a scavenger hunt,â&#x20AC;? Joey Formanek explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kept having to ask the vendors where we could find these items â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we had to do it all in Spanish.â&#x20AC;? Janssen said the group was able to make some fresh guacamole after their day at the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had avocados the size of grapefruit,â&#x20AC;? she exclaimed. There were 16 students and 28 in the group all together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was such an amazing trip,â&#x20AC;? Janssen concluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids learned so much about culture, history, nature, plus they got to practice their Spanish every day.â&#x20AC;?

Budget In his budget committee update, member Terry Larsen told members that while the 2015-16 budget is on track, the district is looking at starting 2016-17 about $200,000 down from this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no per pupil increase for the coming year,â&#x20AC;?

Roy Ward, tech ed teacher, exclaimed after board members had clambered into the house Tiger Construction is building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This experience will pay off for these 10 kids no matter what they end up doing,â&#x20AC;? Ward added. He said the project has really brought the community to the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That support means a lot to us,â&#x20AC;? he reasoned. To that end, he described a Contractor Day in April for when Smart Siding goes up on the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to bring in the big guys to do the siding but also invite local contractors so they can learn how to work with Smart Siding,â&#x20AC;? Ward continued. â&#x20AC;˘ Webster was runner-up in the annual Spirit of Excellence Award competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We assemble a portfolio of the service, leadership, sportsmanship and other opportunities we give our kids,â&#x20AC;? Janssen told board members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a perfect score on our portfolio but lost to St. Croix Falls by a point. But, creating the portfolio is impressive when you look at all we do as a district.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ In personnel moves, the board accepted the resignations of Breena

Kroll, high school guidance counselor and Ruben Ruiz, junior high girls softball coach. Haley Buchanon was hired as Ruizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement. Cathy Mahlen was approved as middle school track coach, and five volunteer coaches for spring sports were approved. The board also increased Joel Anderson to half-time Special Education Director for the district and half-time special ed teacher. He had been quarter time, three-quarter time, respectively. The district will also be posting for a half-time school psychologist. â&#x20AC;˘ The Student Leadership Team reported its desire to work on a safe driving week sometime before prom in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be meeting every Tuesday during lunch to plan activities for that week,â&#x20AC;? Emma Rachner reported to the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked about an assembly, posters, videos, statistics, texting while driving and even a distracted driving simulator.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Board President Mark Elliott received a plaque from the Wisconsin Association of School Boards commending him on 20 years of service to the Webster School Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About the only thing these kind of awards do is remind you that you are getting older,â&#x20AC;? he self-deprecatingly quipped.

KLEVEN: New First Baptist Church in Falun pastor found his calling early in life CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

floating nearby and paddle his way to safe ice. “I watched her go down,” he added. “It was difficult.” That may have cemented his calling. “I had had a sense prior to that incident that God had a purpose in my life, but that was a telling moment,” Kleven remembered. “God had something for me to do.” With the life he had led to that point, the next logical step seemed to be the seminary, so he went to Bethel College and Bethel Theological Seminary. Falun is Kleven’s fourth ministry, having served 10 years at his first church, the Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, MN. “It was a great place to learn and grow,” he remarked. From Eden Prairie, he was called to the Milwaukee area and his first senior pastor position at Hillpoint Church for another 10 years. After 20 years in the ministry, Kleven felt the call to “plant” a new church.

“I planted a church through Converge Great Lakes called Bridges in Mequon,” he explained. “I served as lead pastor of Bridges for seven years, until 2014, and has used the intervening time to search for a new home. “It probably is not exactly what I had in mind, but I had been looking to move to a more rural site,” he pointed out. “I’ve enjoyed it here — I really enjoy the people here.” He said there is a solid faith that God is present amongst the parishioners. “God has this church here for a reason,” is a common thought he has shared with his flock. “He wants to accomplish something through this congregation.” One thing he doesn’t want to do is make changes for change sake. “How do we begin to see what God is about, what He’s working at and how He wants to use us to meet the needs this church may have,” has been Kleven’s approach in his time in Falun so far. “I don’t focus on little program changes because I think it is more important for us to get our eyes on God and see what He wants us to do in the commu-

nity.” Helping people encounter Jesus is what he views as his most important duty as a pastor. “Not just forgiveness and salvation, I want to help people experience healing in Christ — everyone is wounded in some way,” he remarked. “People aren’t experiencing the full life that Jesus said we could have — I see my ministry as helping people really understand for the first time who they are.” To that end, First Baptist has its Sunday worship service at 10:45 a.m., preceded by Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. But there’s also a women’s bible study which meets off-site on Wednesdays, a senior bible study at 2 p.m. on Thursdays. Both a youth group and an AWANA group meet at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays during the school year. A city dweller for nearly his entire adult life, Kleven and his wife, Cindy, decided to move to rural Burnett County. “Moving here in wintertime was prob-

ably not the best time, but being from the Twin Cities, winter doesn’t really bother me,” he reflected. “Plus, we are still trying to sell our home in Milwaukee. So, rather than come here and buy a house just to have something, we’ve been able to live in the parsonage and have been able to take our time to find a house we really like.” Born and raised in the northwoods, Kleven enjoys the outdoors during his time away from church. He even goes ice fishing but admits he gets a little jittery when he hears the ice popping and groaning. “I do love to hunt and fish, I like the finality of working on home projects — seeing a job getting complete, and I like to read,” he reported, “My wife and I both love to travel, go hiking in the mountains, and camping.” His built-in bookshelf in the church office crammed with tomes will attest to his love of books. “I’ve even read some of them twice,” he quipped. The Kleven’s have four adult children and two grandchildren.

Options, Futures, and Straddles Section 1256 contracts prevent tax-motivated straddles that would: â&#x20AC;˘ Defer income â&#x20AC;˘ Convert short-term capital gains into long-term capital gains To do so, Section 1256 requires that these contracts be traded in a market-to-market exchange. You might hold Section 1256 contracts at the end of the year. If so, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treated as if they were sold at their fair market value (FMV) on the last business

day of the year. This applies even though you still owned the contracts. Gains and losses from the open contracts are recorded as 60% long-term and 40% short-term. This applies no matter how long you held the contracts. When the Section 1256 contract ends, the gain or loss is adjusted for the previous gain or loss Section 1256 contracts include: â&#x20AC;˘ Regulated futures contracts, like commodities futures â&#x20AC;˘ Foreign-currency contracts that are publicly traded â&#x20AC;˘ Nonequity options â&#x20AC;˘ Dealer-equity options â&#x20AC;˘ Dealer securities futures contracts Use Form 6781, Part I to report the gains and losses on open Section 1256 contracts.

Larsen Family Public Library contact information: Telephone: (715) 866-7697, Website: http://webster.wislib.org, Online Catalog: http://merlin.nwls.lib.wi.us/search, Hours: Monday-Thursday 10 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. & Saturday 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

A straddle is when you hold contracts that offset the risk of loss from each other. You might realize a loss when you sell part of a straddle position. If so, your loss will be limited to the amount of any unrecognized gain in the offsetting position. Any loss you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently deduct is carried over to the next tax year. Straddleloss rules and exceptions are quite complicated.

The visitor center at the height of its popularity — circa 1993.

“The Marshland Visitor Center really fit the criteria,” Galonska said. So, the building is gone but the NPS still has the land. “We are considering options for how people can get near the river for a view or a walk near it, and we are going to restore the land to its natural conditions,” she said. “But, that may not be able to begin for a couple years.” The “why” is the influx of invasive species — namely purple loosestrife and mustard garlic. “We don’t want to spend a lot of money restoring the land only to have the invasives take over,” she lamented. NPS maintains a small facility on the site, so even though a portion of the parking lot was removed, a portion will remain. Galonska hinted that people wanting access to the west side of the river could park there. “However, there is an official river landing for launching or landing watercraft on the east side of the river, with plenty of room for people to park their vehicles,” she concluded.

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

and Cultural Resource Management of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, explained. Given how slowly the federal government seems to move on tasks such as building removal, Galonska said action on the Marshland Visitor Center seemed quick. “It seemed like they just awarded the bid to have it demolished one day and the contractor was out there the next day doing the work,” she continued. The building was completed and opened in 1990 and operated as a seasonal visitor’s center — open seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. “The attendance was never more than about 4,000 people a year, and that was in its best years,” Galonska reported. Perhaps because of that, in 2002 the center was downgraded to only being open by appointment. “Individuals or groups had to call and set up a reservation to have the center open for a special program,” Galonska noted. “Those programs were usually handled by Ranger

Jean Van Tatenhove.” That iteration of the center lasted until 2009. After becoming an appointment-only facility, visitation numbers never topped 1,000 per season, Galonska pointed out. From 2010 to 2012, the building served as office space for a few NPS employees, but those staff were relocated. Since sometime in 2012, the building has sat empty. “There had been discussions in the ensuing years over possible uses of the building but a sustainable use was never uncovered,” she added. “And, you know how it goes with unused buildings — they deteriorate quite quickly.” Then came the federally mandated “Freeze the Footprint” movement out of Washington regarding under-utilized buildings on federal real estate. According to the Office of Management and Budget, the Obama Administration had made it a priority for federal agencies to dispose of unneeded properties and make more efficient use of government real estate assets.

Topic: Healthcare for aging rural population LADYSMITH—Indianhead Community Action Agency (ICAA), along with University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UWEC) College of Nursing and Health Sciences Students will host a panel forum to increase public awareness of issues around the “tsunami wave” of rural Baby Boomers. The event is set for 2 p.m. Friday, April 1 at the ICAA Auditorium in 1000 College Ave W. in Ladysmith. The tsunami of Wisconsin’s aging population is occurring in Wisconsin’s northwest counties at a faster rate than in other areas in Wisconsin. Many Baby Boomers are desperately in need of resources from agencies, providers, families, and clients to provide critically-needed nursing and other personal and supportive cares. Some have multiple, complex, chronic diseases which require access to health across the continuum of care. Other concerns to be discussed include the lack of policies and funding to support the increasing rural older and low-income

populations; and the inadequately staffed, skilled and compensated health care workforce in rural areas. These factors have led to a rural health crisis in northwestern Wisconsin, which will be addressed at this meeting. For more information, contact Candace Giwojna at 715-532-4222.

Red Cross blood drive exceeds goal GRANTSBURG—The St. Patrick’s Day Red Cross Blood Drive surpassed its goal, collecting 56 pints of blood. Drive coordinator Patzy Wenthe said, “Thanks so much to all who helped make our first Red Cross Bloodmobile of the year a success. With these units collected from our blood drive, we are able to help up to 168 patients in need.” Trinity Lutheran Church staffed the canteen. The American Legion and Auxiliary sponsored the event at the Community Center. The next Grantsburg blood drive is Monday, May 23 at the Community Center.

The many beneﬁts of a pollinator garden BY MELINDA MYERS

BURNETT COUNTY—Whether planting a garden, enjoying the beauty of your landscape or sitting down to a delicious meal, you have bees, butterflies and other pollinators to thank. These essential members of our ecosystem are responsible for much of the food and beauty we enjoy each day. Unfortunately pesticides and habitat loss are threatening their existence. There is something you can do to help. Turn your garden, backyard or balcony into a pollinator’s habitat. Plant a variety of flowering plants that provide nectar and pollen throughout the season. Planting masses of natives, herbs and other pollinator favorites like sedum, zinnias, alyssum, cosmos, and columbine will attract these beauties to your landscape. Include a variety of day and night blooming flowers in a variety of colors and shapes to support the widest range of pollinators. But don’t let a lack of space dissuade you; even a window box of flowers can help. Keep your plants healthy and blooming with proper care. Match the plants to the growing conditions, provide needed water and fertilize with an organic nitrogen fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com) when needed. You’ll promote slow steady plant growth that is less susceptible to drought and pests. Supplement pollinators’ diets with a bit of rotten fruit. And be sure to provide trees, shrubs, parsley, dill and other plants that cat-

erpillars, grubs and the immature stage of other pollinators prefer to feed upon. Put away the pesticides and tolerate a few holes in the leaves of their favorite plants. With a diversity of plants you can easily overlook the temporary leaf damage. Plus, this is a small price to pay for all the benefits they bring to the garden. Maximize your efforts by teaming up with your neighbors. Together you can create a larger more diverse habitat that provides pollinators with the resources they need to thrive. Your efforts will be rewarded with greater harvests and beautiful flowers.

New institute for movement under construction in St. Croix Falls ST. CROIX FALLS—Kinisi Institute for Movement is currently under construction on the third floor of the St. Croix Falls Clinic building. Kinisi will coordinate the care of sports medicine, orthopedics, podiatry, neurology, rheumatology, pain medicine, spine surgery and rehabilitation. Kinisi Exec. Director Franklin Johnson says, “Kinisi Institute for Movement will be the premier destination for musculoskeletal care in the St. Croix Valley and beyond. The Institute will bring together care that harnesses the best talents, most advanced procedures and utmost in compassion in order to provide excellence working closely with people to solve painful disorders affecting their ability to move.” Neurologist Dr. Guresh Bedi at St. Croix Regional Medical Center (SCRMC) and medical director

of the new institute, adds “The great thing about Kinisi is that it has been designed from the ground up. We listened to our patients, realized the biggest gaps in their care, and re-imagined what a clinic should look and feel like. As health care providers, we will spend the greatest part of our time in coordinating care. We feel that this patient centered approach will lead not only to a more positive experience, but also superior results.” SCRMC CEO Dave Dobosenski stated, “Patients will experience a new model of care where they are navigated through their entire experience. Kinisi will bring a level of care and expertise from surgeons, specialists and therapists. At Kinisi, 100 percent of the focus will be to help patients achieve a healthier future, no matter what their health issue.” The institute is slated to open in early July, 2016.

Wisconsin’s most popular ﬁeld trip program bigger than ever in 2016

WEEKLY WAG

Bailey is a black kitty who is approximately ten months old. I haven’t had the opportunity to meet this fellow yet, but have been told that he is “friendly and loving.” Most of our cats get along with dogs because 1) their kennels/condos are in the same room, so they are forced to see and hear all that goes on; and 2) when they get their turn in the office, they are i m mediately introduced to the shelter mascot, Lilly (Shelter Manager’s wonderBailey ful dog). Bailey gets along with dogs too. This next part is a little reminder of animals that were featured before, but are still looking for that furever home. Jasper and Josie were surrendered after their owner died. They are each 13 pounds of pure love and would really prefer to be adopted together, at a reduced fee. Josie gets up front and personal when you enter her dog kennel (converted to cat kennel), while Jasper sits back and waits for you to come to him. Peaches and Cream (one name for one cat) is one of four cats surrendered from a farm. All the cats from this farm were loved and cared for, used to other animals, and very sweet. Mistletoe is the cat that has been at our shelter the longest. She is a senior who came to us with severe burns on the bottom of her paws. Mistletoe was a trooper through all she had been through and, therefore, we cannot put a price on her. (She is free to the right person.) Mistletoe has fully recovered from her injuries and has “happy paws” all the time. Sherlock is a one-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix. I’m very surprised that he wasn’t adopted right away. He is tall and skinny, and has a winning personality. Just one look at Sherlock’s sad eyes and you can’t resist him. Molly is a one-year-old kitty that was abandoned for six weeks when her owner decided to move and leave her and her friend behind. Unfortunately, her friend did not survive - but Molly did. This little girl likes to hide in cupboards and is a bit shy until you start to pet her. Molly is still reluctant to come out of her hiding place, but prances around and rubs up against your hand like you’re best friends. Mark your calendars for our annual Spaghetti Dinner fund raiser on Saturday, April 30, from 4 -7 p.m. We have raffle tickets for sale and we are looking for new donated items for our Silent Auction.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

MADISON—The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin is offering 188 expert-led field trips around the state this year. That’s a 25 percent increase from last year’s season and more than any previous year. The popular program offers unique opportunities for all ages and abilities to explore Wisconsin’s public lands, waters and wildlife by foot, bike, boat and even train. Since 1994, nearly 40,500 individuals have attended Foundation field trips. “The popularity of our field trip program is a true testament to Wisconsin’s commitment to the state’s precious natural resources,” said Foundation Executive Director Ruth Oppedahl. “The field trip program is an opportunity for people to connect directly with wildlife and wild lands, inspiring them to become stewards of our most cherished places. We don’t know of any other state that has a field trip program that is in such high demand.” Professionals from the Department of Natural Resources and other experts lead the trips, sharing their love and knowledge of Wisconsin’s natural resources. The trips range from banding saw-whet owls to breakfasting with bats; catching mussels to fly fishing; kayaking Horicon Marsh to searching for carnivorous plants. All trips appear in the foundation’s online field trip guidebook, and all offer hands-on experiences that are often not available to the general public. “Our field trips provide a breadth of educational experiences for curious people and families,” said Foundation Field Trip Coordinator “Christine Tanzer. “Be it geology, ecology,

wildlife habitat, land management, there is always something fascinating to learn about Wisconsin. That’s why we have to grow this program every year – there is jjust so much to learn about.” Some of this year’s highlights include: • Trips take place in 46 out of 72 Wisconsin counties. • Thirty-five of the trips highlight endangered species. • The trips take many forms – hiking, kayaking, canoeing, biking, riding a pontoon, riding a train and even riding a wagon. • Thirty-two trip involve citizen-based monitoring projects. • More than 100 of the trips are on public lands, with 62 at state natural areas. • Fifty-six of the trips help raise money for various conservation projects, including the Bird Protection Fund, the Wisconsin Bat Fund, turtle nest site restoration efforts and state natural area management. Online field trip registration this year opens at noon on Wednesday, March 23. To register for field trips, interested parties must first become a member of the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin for $25. They will then receive a passcode for registration in their membership confirmation email. The link to registration will be posted on the foundation’s website (www.WisConservation.org). Initial registration is limited to four trips, and registrants can include up to five other guests. Trip cost varies by excursion.

Webster remains in Blizzard hockey co-op announce the withdrawal to both other schools in the co-op and the WIAA is April 1. “I think we need to act now before it gets to be November, we suddenly don’t have a team and the girls waste another year of eligibility,” he added. But there were ardent supporters in attendance to refute his arguments. “Yes, we are having issues with our numbers right now — we just happen to be in a narrow spot,” Dave Doty, Blizzard supporter, remarked. “But, five players we had on the Blizzard co-op team three or four years ago are playing hockey at the college level.” “It’ll be thin for a couple of years but it’ll come back,” he continued. “I think the community would be mad if Webster bailed on the Blizzard.” Fellow supporter Jason Lee agreed. “We have enough numbers for the next two or three years,” he reported. “If there weren’t, I’d be looking for an alternative.” Lee believes the program has the needed skaters to field a viable team. “If we have enough for the 2016-17 season, why make the move now?” he queried rhetorically. “Why drive an hour when there’s a rink five minutes down the road?”

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers will remain a member of the Burnett Blizzard girls hockey cooperative team (co-op) following action at the Webster School Board’s March meeting last week. The consideration of breaking away from the Blizzard co-op and joining the Hayward co-op was on the agenda and two dozen concerned parents and students filled the IMC Monday night to hear the decision. “We had 12 players last season — to me, that’s playing short-handed,” Ruben Ruiz declared. “A team needs 15 or 16 skaters.” Ruiz, father of eighth grader Jenna Ruiz, whom he would like to see play in Hayward, said there are not enough girls to support a team locally. “I don’t think the co-op has been measuring up — I think we’re setting up these girls for failure,” he pointed out. “Yes, we’re making it work but with no feeder program (younger players learning how to skate and play the game), I could see this program dissolving in two years.” Ruiz was cognizant of the deadline to

Ruben Ruiz (standing at right) addresses the board.

The cost of the switch was another point of contention. Ruiz said playing for the Blizzard amounts to about $300 per season while reports of the fee for playing for the Hayward co-op vary from $1,400 to $3,800 per season. “What do the rest do who can’t afford Hayward?” Lee questioned. “Not play is what.”

School Board President Mark Elliott set the tone of the discussion early on when he said the board can’t look at the viability of one family; the board has to look at the whole picture. Because board members knew the school would remain a co-op member if it took no action, the board ended up taking no action on the request.

Bulldog wrestlers ﬁnish season at state MADISON—Burnett Bulldog wrestler Taedon Nichols qualified for last week’s Wisconsin Wrestling Federation Folkstyle State Championships by winning his division the prior week in the River Falls qualifier. He won the 70 division for boys (born in 2003-04) with a 6-1 decision over David Hughes of Chippewa Falls in the final. Nichols started with another win on Friday, in the first day of competition at the Alliant Energy Center. Nichols opened with a tight match against Cody Goebel of Mukwonago and escaped with a 2-1 win, but his path to the final was derailed in the follow-

ing match. He was defeated in major decision by Tyler Klein of World Gold Wrestling, who finished as the division champion. Nichols recovered with back-to-back wins, starting with a 2-0 decision over Matt Kinzel of Muskego, then a pin of FWA’s Brett Birchman in 3:17 to continue in the consolation bracket. He had a chance to wrestle for third in the division, but Troy Dolphin from Elkhorn defeated him in 2:44 to send him to the match for fifth. Dolphin advanced to finish third in the division. Nichols earned fifth place on the podium with a major decision over Lucas

Sullivan of Mineral Point in his final match. Teammate Nolan Johnson didn’t fare as well. The Frederic native and member of the Burnett County Wrestling Club advanced to last weekend’s Championships by finishing second in the qualifier at River Falls on March 19. Though both events presented a pair of matches, Johnson was unable to match his success from the qualifier in the state final. Johnson had two matches in the 80 division for boys (born in 2001-02) in the state final, held Friday and Saturday, but was eliminated with two losses. He

opened with a match against Payton Jacobson of Elkhorn and was pinned in 2:18, sending him to the consolation bracket. In his second match, Johnson faced Lukas Lasee of Wrightstown and had his tournament run concluded with a loss in 4:16. Johnson went 1-1 in the qualifier, starting with a 6-1 win over Jaegar Knutson of Colfax, earning a spot in the championship match. However, he was relegated to a runner-up finish with a loss in 1:00 to Blaine Brenner of Crass Traine. by Above The Fold Media

Tigers race in Little Jacket Invite

Labatt, Gerber lead Lady Pirate thinclads

M E N O M O N I E —T h e Grantsburg Pirates girls squad finished 10th out of the 23 small school teams which scored points during the annual Northern Badger Classic indoor track meet March 19 at Johnson Fieldhouse at UW-Stout. The Pirates were led by freshman Gracie Gerber as she raced to a second place finish in the 3200 meter run in a time of 13:22.8. Fellow distance runner Hallie Jensen (junior) was 4th in the 1600 meter run in 6:13.4, with freshman Ericka Erickson following her at 6:28.82, good for 7th. “Gracie placed second in the 3200 meter run which was exciting,” coach Kim Hallberg praised. “Hallie beat her 1600 meter run personal record (PR) by two seconds.” Also competing in the distance events, senior Violet Ohnstad was 7th in the 800 meter run in a time of 2:50.85.

Speedster Delia Labatt crossed the line in 7.73 in the 55 meter dash finals, four-hundredths of a second slower than her qualifying time of 7.69. “Because we were limited to two individuals per event, it made it a little trickier to put certain athletes into events and still make sure that our athletes who are new to track got some actual meet experience,” Hallberg continued. “So, we had Delia run the 55 meter dash and be the anchor on the 4x200 team to give some leadership to freshmen in a relay.” The Pirates compete next in Spooner on April 5. “This meet has only gotten me more excited to see what the season will bring,” Hallberg concluded.

Boys The boys team didn’t fare as well as the girls did at Stout. “The meet came a bit earlier than normal this year due to Easter and we had

several athletes gone for spring break, but we took about two-thirds of our team to compete,” coach Brad Nelson explained. “Stout always brings bigger schools than we are used to seeing during the regular season, so it’s a good challenge for us, especially our experienced athletes.” An early indoor meet was a good way for the team to get its feet wet. “We were really glad to get to a meet and have that experience — especially for our freshmen and first-year athletes,” the coach continued. Like fellow coach Hallberg, Nelson is looking forward to Spooner. “I think we have a big season ahead of us as we have a more experienced team than we have in the past several years,” he predicted. “We have a big group of juniors and seniors who are providing a lot of leadership for the team.”

SUPERIOR—Going into the first meet of the season, Webster Tiger coach Roy Ward was looking at the Little Jacket Invitational Track Meet at UW-Superior on Thursday more as another track practice more than as a meet — and that mind set seemed to pay-off “I think it is safe to say the coaching staff was pleased with the performances — I know they exceeded my expectations,” Ward voiced after the meet. “Some of them really set the bar high.” Even though the coach admits both teams lack depth, the Tigers were able to come home with their share of top four finishes — including three firsts for the girls squad and three for the boys. The distance runners for the boys seem to have picked up where they left off at the end of the 2014-15 season with Andrew Ruiz crossing the line first in the 1600 meter run in a time of 5:00.33. Mason Schaaf and Kerik Stubbe were 2nd and 3rd in the 600 meter run in times of 1:44.05 and 1:50.24, respectively. Teammate Hunter Erickson was third in the 800 meter run in a time of 2:30.55. Webster relay teams scored first

in the 4X400 and 4X800 meter runs with times of 3:51.12 and 9:23.11, respectively and the 2000 meter sprint medley team crossed the line in second place in a time of 4:08.65.

Girls take ﬁrsts

Skylar Winkler won the 55 meter dash. “She was like a bolt of lightening across the finish line in 8.07 seconds,” Ward praised. Other firsts for the Lady Tigers go to Kaitlyn Moser, who threw the indoor shot 33-8 to win that event by nearly three feet over the second place finisher. Sadie Koelz broke her own school record in the pole vault clearing 9-3. “What a great way to start out her 2016 season,” the coach noted. The girls’ 4X400 relay team took second in a time of 4:53.35, the 2000 sprint medley team crossed the line in 3rd in a time of 5:08.02, and Winkler was 4th in the long jump, clearing 12-6. “It was exciting to watch the races and see the athletes pouring all they had into it,” Ward concluded. “Each athlete now has a baseline performance and has a couple weeks to get ready for our first outdoor meet in Spooner.”

Family feuds and caring for older parents BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

When an older person’s health and financial circumstances change, children are often the first to step in to provide care and make decisions for their aging parents. Siblings do not always agree on what that help should look like or what those decisions should be. It’s hard enough for many older adults to ask for (or surrender to) help in the first place, so it makes it even more difficult to know that their children are in conflict. This article discusses the most common factors and types of discord among siblings and offers some helpful tips for navigating these choppy waters. The most common factors leading to sibling feuds over aging parent care are the siblings’ abilities to make important decisions, their abilities to divide the caregiving workload, and their overall level of teamwork. Fights are bound to crop up where one sibling refuses to participate in the discussions, wants no part in helping the parent in any way, or creates barriers to reaching agreements. On the flip side, a sibling who wants to control the decisions, wants to provide all care and limit access to information, and does not respect the input of others can wreak just as much havoc. When disagreements do surface, here are some of the most common themes: - Roles and rivalries from childhood. Often, unresolved conflicts or behaviors from childhood surface, making it difficult to see each other as grown adults with equal footing to solve the problems. - Disagreements over the parent’s condition and capabilities. What appears to be a crisis in one sibling’s mind may not be in another’s. - Arguments over financial matters, estate planning, and family inheritance. Paying for care is a huge source of tension. When siblings are asked to chip in, not everyone may agree about what is fair and what isn’t. - Burden of care. The most common type of argument stems from those cases where the burden of caring for an older parent is unequal. Usually one sibling will take on most of the caregiving tasks which can lead to resentment in the eyes of the caregiver. On the other side of the coin, other siblings may feel shut out. - Parents my resist care. This scenario can make already-tough decisions tougher. - A “controlling” child excludes others from decision-making. This child probably believes that he or she knows what’s best, but that doesn’t mean that the other siblings’ (and parent’s) opinions aren’t valid. - Children caring for parents and young children of

their own. This “sandwich generation,” as it is commonly referred to, is becoming increasingly more prevalent and imposing financial and emotional constraints on those stuck in the middle. - Caring for both parents at once. When parents are experiencing different care needs, it may make decisions about relocating or finding appropriate care even more difficult. - End-of-life care. One sibling may be adamant about dying with dignity, while another believes that the parent should fight to the end. If the parent is no longer able to express his or her wishes and no advanced directive is in place, these disagreements can be devastating. The following tips may be helpful for families: • Engage the parent in the issues. Give the parent every opportunity to make his or her own decisions and participate in the process. • Remember the past, but don’t get stuck there. Focus on the positive from the past and remember that we all have the ability to grow and learn and our perspectives change over time. • Make decisions based on values, not old scores. Some people don’t want to participate in caregiving because they feel like the person now needing the care didn’t do a good job caring for them. Instead, a person could agree to care for the parent because he or she believes that we should all help one another. • Hold family meetings. Get as many medical/social work/home health care opinions you can before holding a family meeting. Involve a neutral third party, if needed. • Plan before a crisis happens, if you can. Estate planning can help avoid some of the feuds surrounding paying for care and family inheritance. An advanced directive for healthcare can provide peace of mind that everyone is acting in the way the parent would want when that time comes. Having these discussions and getting these documents in place before they’re needed can alleviate a lot of tension. • Don’t make promises to never institutionalize the parent. You don’t know what the future will bring! • Ask for help. This is especially important for those siblings who are providing primary care. Make sure you’re sharing information (and not just when there are emergencies) so that everyone is always up-tospeed. You may have to be detailed with what you ask for, but you don’t have to do everything alone. • Stay in touch. If you are a sibling who is far away geographically, ask what you can do to help, and check in often—both with the sibling and the parent. • Coming together and making difficult decisions is a lot to ask of any group of people. When you mix in complicated family histories and the very real issues of declining health and limited resources, disagreements are inevitable. When siblings can agree to disagree and acknowledge that their decisions are coming from a place of love, these disagreements can be minimized and can result in the best care for their aging parents.

Wisconsin top 10 consumer complaints of 2015 BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM CONSUMER COMPLAINTS IN 2015

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has released the top 10 consumer complaints of 2015. While it closely mirrors the 2014 list, there is one compelling change—the rise of identity theft into third place. The 2015 list puts the spotlight on identity theft and “impostor” phone scams as top concerns for Wisconsin consumers last year. A review of the complaints received by the agency shows that telemarketing remains the perennial leader among complaint categories bolstered by a rash of threatening phone scams. Tax-related rip-offs drove the identity theft category to the most significant jump in complaints in the top 10. While the identity theft complaint category moved up only one spot in the list to third, the number of complaints in the category increased nearly 80 percent from 2014. Tax identity theft was a factor in almost 85 percent of the identity theft complaints as stolen personal information led to fraudulent tax filing of victims throughout the state. Nationwide, tax- or wage-related fraud is also the leading factor in identity theft complaints reported to the Federal Trade Commission. Telemarketing led consumer complaints for DATCP again in 2015 (up nearly 18 percent from 2014), constituting nearly one in every four complaints to the agency. But, unlike the early years of the Wisconsin nocall program, when complaints were typically about salespeople calling to sell items to consumers, recent complaints often report fraudulent, threatening phone calls demanding money or personal information. In particular, government imposter scams impacted Wisconsin residents last year, with con artists falsely claiming to represent a number of state or federal agencies in order to shake down consumers. Fake IRS phone calls alone constituted 13.6 percent of all telemarketing complaints. “Robocalls” about reducing credit debt were another major headache for Wisconsin residents, with 12.6 percent of telemarketing complaints referencing calls from “credit card services” or a variant of that name. Other fraudulent phone operations that heavily targeted Wisconsin consumers involved scammers claiming to represent computer tech support companies, local utilities, medical providers, and sweepstakes and lottery organizations. Regardless of the pitch, these scammers were always seeking money or personal and banking information. Landlord/tenant complaints remained steady from 2014, holding at second on the list. Issues that typically led to complaints in this category included disputes over security deposits, unauthorized entry, inadequate disclosures, and evictions. One complaint category that dropped a spot in 2015 was telecommunications. This category includes bundling of services, cellular phones, Internet service providers, long distance services, and satellite and cable television. The home improvement category moved up one spot to fifth. Some of the major factors in home improvement complaints included allegations of misrepresentation, failure to honor contracts, workmanship, and theft. Rounding out the top ten for 2015 were the motor vehicle repair (6th); gas pump accuracy (7th); motor vehicle sales (8th); computer and equipment (9th); and radio/TV/video/stereo (10th) complaint categories.

April Is Colon Health Month BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the U.S. and the second leading cause of death from cancer. It is important for people to be aware that early detection can help prevent up to 60 percent of the deaths from colorectal cancer. People age 50 and older are at the highest risk for colorectal cancer. Therefore, the American Cancer Society, the U.S. Dept. of Health Services, and the CDC recommend that people start getting screened for colorectal cancer at age 50 and have regular screenings thereafter. Several types of screenings are availableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a colonoscopy (generally recommended every 10 years); a fecal occult blood test (generally annually); and a sigmoidoscopy (generally every 5 years). People with a high risk of colorectal cancer may need to have screening tests done more frequently. People are encouraged to talk to their doctors to assess their risk and find out which test is right for them. Medicare pays for screening tests to detect colorectal cancer. The following tests are typically covered by Medicare as preventive: â&#x20AC;˘ Screening fecal occult blood testâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; covered once every year for ages 50+. â&#x20AC;˘ Screening flexible sigmoidoscopyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; covered once every 48 month for ages 50+. â&#x20AC;˘ Screening colonoscopyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;covered

Wisconsin offers non-expiring IDs to Seniors

once every 10 years (2 years if high risk). â&#x20AC;˘ Screening barium enemaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;covered once every 48 months if age 50+ if used instead of a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. (Note: This test is not covered 100 percent by Medicare; it is covered at the typical 80/20 percent by Medicare Part B.) The first three preventive visits listed above have 100 percent coverage under Medicare Part B if the person goes to a provider that accepts Medicare assignment. However, if the screening results in a diagnostic treatment, then Medicare pays at 80/20 percent under Part B. For example, a colonoscopy is covered at 100 percent every 10 years. However, if the doctor performing the colonoscopy finds and removes a polyp during the exam, then that part of the exam qualifies as treatment (rather than a screening), and Medicare covers the removal of the polyp at 80/20 percent. Timely screening can detect colon cancer before any symptoms develop. It is estimated that half of the colon cancer deaths could be prevented if early screening had occurred. The American Cancer Society encourages people to talk to family members about their medical history and discuss this information with their doctors.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation now offers non-expiring identification (ID) cards to Wisconsin residents. To qualify, an individual must be (1) a Wisconsin resident, (2) a U.S. citizen, and (3) age 65 or over. The non-expiring ID cards give seniors the opportunity to have a state ID for voting purposesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;without requiring seniors to get a new picture taken every eight years. The non-expiring ID will have the same appearance and security features as a standard expiring ID card, but in place of the expiration date it will indicate that it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-expiring.â&#x20AC;? Is it right for you? Seniors should carefully consider whether the non-expiring ID is right for them. First, to obtain a non-expiring ID, a senior will need to surrender his or her driver license. When an individual surrenders his or her driver license, they are ineligible to drive in any state. Second, the non-expiring IDS are not â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real IDâ&#x20AC;?- compliant. Real ID cards must be renewed every eight years. The Real ID Act sets minimum security standards for sources of identification. Federal agencies cannot accept ID cards from states that do not meet

the minimum security standards. For example, if you plan to visit a federal facility or a military base, you will need an ID that meets the actâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards. According to the official Website of the Department of Homeland Security, Real ID requirements do not apply to the following: entering federal facilities that do not require ID, voting, applying for or receiving federal benefits, being licensed to drive, accessing health or life-preserving services, or participating in law enforcement proceedings or investigations. The non-expiring IDS are currently free of charge and serve as legal identification for voting purposes.

Medicare coverage of preventive care BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Medicare’s publication “Your Guide to Medicare’s Preventive Services” discusses preventive care. The publication provides tips to help you stay healthy, live longer, and delay or prevent many diseases. The tips suggest that you exercise, eat well, maintain a healthy weight, avoid smoking, and get preventive services. This article will focus on the last tip: preventive services. Preventive services may be covered if you have Medicare Part B. These services—like health screenings or immunizations— aim to protect and promote your health and well-being.

Coverage information for some common preventive services: • Cardiovascular disease screening: Cardiovascular disease screenings check your cholesterol and lipid (blood fat) levels. Medicare covers this screening once every five years if it is ordered by a doctor. You pay nothing for this screening. • Breast-cancer screening (mammograms): Women 40 and over are eligible for a screening mammogram every 12 months. You pay nothing for the test if your doctor accepts assignment. • Breast Cancer risk factors: - You had breast cancer in the past. - You have a family history of breast cancer. - You had your first baby after age 30. - You never had a baby. • Prostate cancer screening: Men 50 and over are eligible for a prostate screening once every 12 months. You pay nothing for a prostate-specific antigen blood screening; you pay a 20 percent co-pay for a digital rectal exam. • Colorectal cancer screening: Beneficiaries 50 and older are eligible for colorectal screenings. The different screening methods have different time requirements. Fecal occult blood test is covered once every 12 months for those who are 50 and older. Colonoscopy is covered once every 120 months (or once every 24 months for those who are high-risk). Barium enema is covered once every 48 months (or once every 24 months for those who are high risk) when used in place of other screenings. Multi-target stool DNA test (ex: Cologuard) is covered once every three years if you meet all of the following: - You are between 50 and 85. - You show no signs or symptoms of colorectal disease. - You are at an average risk for developing colorectal disease. - You have no family history of colorectal cancer.

- Your costs vary based on which screening you receive. - You pay nothing for a fecal occult test if you get a written referral from your doctor. - You pay nothing for a colonoscopy if your doctor accepts assignment. - You pay a 20% co-pay for barium enemas. Risk factors: -You had colorectal cancer before. -You have a family history of colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer. -You have a history of polyps. -You have inflammatory bowel disease. Glaucoma test: - Medicare covers this screening once every 12 months for beneficiaries who are at a high risk for glaucoma. - You are at a high risk for glaucoma if any of the following apply: - You have diabetes. - You have a family history of glaucoma. - You are African-American and 50 or older. - You are Hispanic and 65 or older. Alcohol misuse screening and counseling: Medicare covers one alcohol misuse screening per year. If your primary care doctor determines that you’re misusing alcohol, Medicare may cover four brief, face-to face counseling sessions per year. You pay nothing for the test if your doctor accepts assignment. Depression screening: All beneficiaries are entitled to one screening per year. The screening must be done in a primary care setting that can provide treatment and referrals. You pay nothing if your provider accepts assignment. Some screenings may not be covered: Please note that your doctor may recommend screenings that are not covered by Medicare. After an initial screening, you may need further diagnostic testing; these additional services may or may not be covered by Medicare. To determine which preventive screenings you need, speak with your primary care doctor. To view a copy of Your Guide to Medicare’s Preventive Services visit https://www.medicare.gov/Pubs/pdf/10110.pdf or call 1800-Medicare.

CAREGIVERS CORNER By Barb Blodgett

Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County has been transporting patients to and from Davita Dialysis in Siren. Most are for treatments three days a week. We have drivers, but need more to help out when one of our regulars can’t make it. ADRC doesn’t have enough drivers, so we help out. We do not pay our drivers; it is simply on a volunteer basis. This is not a long-time commitment. It is just once in a while. We could use some help. Please contact us at 715-866-4970. Speaking of help, we are also looking for people to help with spring cleanup. I know, I hate to rake my yard (actually, Denny does the raking and I just watch to make sure he doesn’t miss anything). But, helping someone else doesn’t seem like so much work. That is one thing about volunteering. It is not a chore, it is a joy. Really, visiting someone who is alone, helping someone with a job they can’t do, or even being on the other end of the phone just so someone has a person to talk to, makes my heart feel good. Please think about giving yourself to someone who has no one. We have some important things coming up: The 50/50 raffle is starting next week. Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County and Webster Lions are having a pancake breakfast from 8-11 a.m. Saturday, April 2 at Webster Community Center. Come join us for breakfast and the bake sale. Gladys Beers is in charge. Anyone want to bake something for the bake sale? We would love your donation. I have been going through some recipe books online and found some things you don’t always see at bake sales, but really sound good. I am anxious to start baking. I know this column is brief, but I can actually see the top of my desk and want to file a few things so I don’t get behind again. OK, I admit, there are a few things I just stuffed into a box, and I have to go through that. But, for the most part, I am pretty well organized. I know this really has nothing to do with Interfaith, but I am so excited I just have to tell you. We are going to have a baby! Well, not us, of course, but our granddaughter. This will be our third great-grandchild, and I just could not keep it to myself. Another little one to spoil – I can hardly wait! Remember: Listen to the silence, and let God speak to you. Barb

Income changes and marketplace subsidies BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

When estimating annual income to qualify for advanced premium tax credits on the Marketplace, not everyone can get it exactly right. The Marketplace determines how much tax credit you will receive based on how much you will earn— or at least how much you think you will earn—in the upcoming year. However, at tax time many people discover that they had more income during the year than anticipated. That is because people can experience a number of financial changes throughout the year. When it’s time to file taxes, if you have used more of the advanced premium tax credit than you should have received, you will have to pay back some of that tax credit when you file your tax return. Therefore, reporting income changes to the Marketplace during the year is very important in order to minimize potential problems with the advanced premium tax credit down the road. One reason people fail to report income changes to the Marketplace is because they may not consider money from certain sources to be income. For example, many people may be forced to withdraw money from their 401(k) to help cover onetime expenses during the year. A withdrawal from a retirement account is considered income, which in turn increases your annual income. This income would then need to be reported to the Marketplace. Failure to report changes in your income means that the Marketplace does not know you are making more (or less) money, which means the Marketplace does not adjust your premium tax credit. The result is that you are not receiving the correct tax credit. If you take too much tax credit, as previously stated, you will have to repay the government when you file your tax return. Fortunately, repayments to the IRS are capped depending on the federal poverty level.

For example, Lily applied for coverage through the Marketplace in 2014 for coverage in 2015. She estimated that her annual income in 2015 would be $21,000. Lily is single and does not have any dependents. She received tax credits based on the $21,000 figure she reported to the Marketplace. Lily had an unexpected expense arise in 2015 when she had to repair her entire roof. She withdrew $5,500 from her 401(k) to help cover the repair, but she did not report the withdrawal as income to the Marketplace. When Lily files her 2015 tax return in 2016, her income for 2015 will be $26,500. However, she was receiving tax credits based on reporting $21,000 to the Marketplace. Lily will have to repay some tax credit back to the IRS. The maximum amount she will have to repay is $750 because her income ($26,500) falls between 200 and 300 percent of the federal poverty level and she filed her taxes as single. So, if Lily received an overpayment of $1,100 in tax credits for the year, her repayment amount would be capped at $750. Lily’s example shows how tricky it can be when you do not report changes to the Marketplace. Like Lily, you may have unexpected expenses arise or experience different changes. For example, you may work overtime you did not anticipate, receive alimony, or work part-time in a seasonal job. All of these situations can lead to income increases that you should report to avoid paying back the IRS. If you fail to report these income increases, you face potential repayments to the IRS. If you cannot afford to pay the IRS at one time, the IRS generally will allow you to pay in installments, but there could be more fees and interest charges with an installment plan. If you are not sure whether a source is considered income, the best thing to do is call the Marketplace for help at (800) 318-2596.

a hospital, or it might be a conversation with your doctor the next time you go to see him or her. If you aren’t sure if your doctor or health care provider is participating in a Medicare ACO, ask him or her. Who can read my medical information? The group of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers working together in the ACO will be able to read your medical records along with other office staff authorized to help coordinate your care. The privacy and security of your medical information is still protected by federal law. How are ACOs paid? In Medicare’s traditional feefor-service payment system, doctors and hospitals generally are paid for each test and procedure. ACOs don’t do away with fee-for-service, but they create an incentive to be more efficient by offering bonuses when providers keep costs down. Doctors and hospitals have to meet specific quality benchmarks—focusing on prevention and carefully managing patients with chronic diseases. In other words, providers get paid more for keeping their patients healthy and out of the hospital. An ACO also may have to pay a penalty if it doesn’t meet performance and savings benchmarks.

The phrase Accountable Care Organizations— ACOs—has been used routinely since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. The Affordable Care Act has encouraged the formation of ACOs in the Medicare program. Nearly six million Medicare beneficiaries are currently in an ACO. Approximately 740 organizations have become ACOs since the Affordable Care Act was enacted with an estimated 23.5 million Americans being served by an ACO. What is an ACO? An ACO is a group of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers who come together voluntarily to give coordinated care to their patients. The goal of coordinated care is to ensure that patients—especially the chronically ill—get the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. Is an ACO a health maintenance organization (HMO), managed care, or an insurance company? No—it is none of those. Unlike HMOs, managed care, or insurance providers, an ACO cannot tell you which providers to see and cannot limit Medicare benefits. Even if your doctor participates in an ACO, you retain the right to choose any doctor or hospital who accepts Medicare. How do I know if my doctor is in an ACO? If your doctor or health care provider chooses to participate in an ACO, you will be notified. This notification might be a letter, written information provided to you when you see your doctor, a sign posted in

MARCH 30, 2016

BrrrrRinnggg !!! How often do you lay awake at night unable to sleep, your mind filled with anxious thoughts? Then do you wake up unhappily to the irritating jangling alarm that signals the beginning of another day? Before alarm clocks, people simply woke up with the dawn and their eyes opened with the light of the approaching morning. Families were roused by the cry of the rooster, the smell of bread in the oven and someone rustling around in the kitchen. But our lives are much more complex now.

We have anxious fears about our homes, work, school, the world, possessions and politics. They are like that modern nagging alarm clock. On those nights when sleep wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come, do you think we should go back to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Daysâ&#x20AC;?? Oldtimers will tell you that there were more basic things to worry about in those days too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if there would be food on the table, clothes on your back and a roof over your head for example. Some of us are honestly tormented by the many worries in our lives. But remember

worrying will not change anything! Making positive plans, setting strong goals and taking first steps is a great way to alleviate anxiety. Write down your ideas as you seek to describe your potential options and possibilities. The wonderful thing about the dawn is that it comes whether we worry or not â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or if there is a loud alarm clock. Morning sweeps away the darkness of night and offers an opportunity to a bright new beginning. Easter is our reassurance that a new day will come and spring is coming.
