Nuisance bears in Grantsburg, like this sow, have been captured.

Bears removed from village BY STEVE BRIGGS

GRANTSBURG—Since voting and vowing on June 13 to quickly address the bear problem on the village’s north side, the Grantsburg Village Board has been making good on its promise. As of Tuesday, June 28, nine bears including boars, sows, cubs and yearlings have been removed from the village by a wildlife tech working out of the USDA’s Wildlife Services office in Rhinelander. USDA Assistant District Supervisor David Ruid of the

Rhinelander office said a wildlife tech still has two traps in place to catch another yearling that was raised in the woods within or near Grantsburg, and sees the village as its home. Reports are that it walks through the village in daylight and appears to have little or no fear of humans. The village attempted to trap bears last fall, but it began late and got no results. That was also true for a plan allowing one or two well-trained shooters to take

GRANTSBURG—If you don’t see or hear a fat lady singing, it ain’t over. That’s the news from Grantsburg’s Karl Anderson regarding the fate of the Legend of the Lost Train in Devils Lake, a train which supposedly went off the tracks and into Devils Lake near Pine City, MN in the 1870s. Legend has it there was a heavy rain that night, people heard the train whistle, but the train never made it to town. Anderson had heard enough of the tale to pique his interest and he and his team dove the lake a few years ago. “What they say happened is that a landslide took the track down and the train went into the lake,” he related. “We found railroad track, we found a logbook, and a lantern — which means nothing in and of itself.” Some say Anderson is on a fool’s errand. “Anyone who is an old-timer in Pine City

brings it up,” he admitted. “There are two property owners on that lake — one is adamant the train was removed after it happened and tells us we’re wasting our time, but the other person is all excited.” Like a hunger that can’t be sated, in March Anderson brought in a magnetometer to do a reading of the lake. “A professional did read our findings, but the project hasn’t proceeded the way we thought,” Anderson remarked. That could have been the end of the line (no pun intended), but fate intervened. Anderson said one of his parts guys was in the shop and they started talking about the train and the grid from the magnetometer. “He told me he went to college to be a cartographer (map reader) and spent 10 years reading maps just like the one we had,” he pointed out. “He looked at the grid and said ‘The train is there.’” Anderson said that got his attention. “‘You don’t want to look at the blues — you want to look at the reds,’ is what he told me SEE WRECK, PAGE 6

Edna Schroeder: A history of community service WEBSTER—By all accounts, soon-to-be centenarian Edna Schroeder (August 31) is an amazing woman. The Illinois pioneer who moved to Burnett County in 1949 is Webster’s July 4th Parade Grand Marshall. That’s not the only honor she’s collected over the 40 years she served the community as a hard-working volunteer.

At 89 years of age, she retired in 1989 after 27 years of serving the Burnett County Elderly and Disabled Transportation Program. As the first volunteer, she drove more than 106,937 miles and put 400,000 miles on two engines of her favorite vehicle, a 1979 Ford LTD. “I loved that car. SEE SCHROEDER, PAGE 7

Assistance sought in hit-and-run TOWN OF DEWEY— The public is being asked to assist investigators in identifying the vehicle and driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run of a pedestrian during the overnight hours of Tuesday, June 14. Results of this ongoing investigation indicate that the vehicle which struck and killed 30-year-old Courtney Oustigoff of Webster is a truck, or possibly an SUV having high ground clearance. The vehicle will have damage to its undercarriage and front end. Investigators request that anyone who may have been travelling in the area of County Road X and State Highway 70 between 11 p.m. on June 14 and 6 a.m. on June 15; or anyone who has further information regarding this incident, contact the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office at 715-349-2121.

Summer read a success BY LORI CALLAHAN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—“Oh, you should see them jump off the bus and run in. They’re eager,” beamed Judy McDaniel, with Diane Barton smiling in agreement, co-coordinators of the summer reading program at the Grantsburg Public Library. Story after story poured from both about the successes they’ve witnessed through the After School Reading Program, of which the summer session is a part. One needn’t even ask the children — their faces tell all: proud smiles from ear to ear as they overcome difficulties or are working to soak up all they can to excel, and do. Not what one might expect during the summer from a program that sounds a lot like school. McDaniel said she has been with the program for its full 15 years, her 11th as treasurer. Diane said she is a former schoolteacher and currently works as a substitute teacher, K-12. Both work under the direction of Sara Hunt, coordinator for the entire program, which is funded by In A Perfect World Foundation. The summer extension of the program is in its second year. “Three years ago we went to the board [of In a Perfect World Foundation] with a request to purchase furniture and supplies to make use of the empty wing in the library,” McDaniel said. “We were given a very gener-

ous grant and, with it, also purchased the “Read Naturally Program” we use. “Diane and I wanted to extend the program into the summer,” McDaniel continued, and McDaniel and Barton agreed to take on full coordination to give Hunt the summer off. Fifteen volunteers assist 32 grade-school students. Although one student volunteer admitted he mostly did it to meet his 40-hour community-service requirement to graduate as a senior, by and large, for McDaniel, Barton and most of the volunteers, it is a labor of love. Raven McDaniel, a student volunteer and former graduate of the program, said she finds it fun and rewarding. “I really like when they learn and get to a higher level,” she said. Volunteer Jami Michel, a junior next fall, said she enjoys helping children. “I’m thinking about being a teacher when I graduate,” she added. Fall senior Kajsa Luedtke said she is amazed at how advanced the kids are. “They are super smart,” she said. “I had one second grader who wanted to read Harry Potter. It’s a cool thing to help kids read.” One adult volunteer said she wanted to give back to the community. “Because reading and writing are so fundamental, I thought this the perfect venue to give my time,” she said. Barton shared several stories that exemplify the program’s im-

pact: “We have a nine-year-old that we had a terrible time initially trying to keep his attention and get him to sit still. He was moving all the time. “Now, he will sit with the group and will both read and follow along, with great improvement in comprehension, too. “Another young man felt so confident in his abilities after graduating from the program that he came back as a 10th grader to volunteer. “My favorite story,” Barton said, “is of the young man who came in as a second grader, was behind in reading, had no interest in it and didn’t see the necessity since he loved engines and the like. “We got him interested in magazines about cars and things and, with the help of his parents, he not only graduated from this program, but in the top 10 percent of his senior class.” Program grant funds also go toward refreshments for students and volunteers, a special surprise for each child at the end of each session, small tokens of appreciation to the volunteers and a pizza party for all at the end of the year. Although some students are referred through the school, others are not, and it is not a requirement to participate. There is no cost to the student or their families. The summer session runs through July 11. If you would like more information for your child or to volunteer, contact Judy McDaniel at 715-464-4273.

Hiking with ataxia There I was — frozen in the middle of a narrow footbridge over a raging river — too afraid to finish the trek across the bridge and just as afraid to turn around. No, it’s not a scene from one of the latest books on the bestseller list — it’s my life and the joys of living with what my doctors are calling ataxia. Balance has never been my strong suit, but the ataxia seems to have ramped up the issue. I actually have exercises prescribed by my physical therapist to help my balance problems. They aren’t meant to alleviate Seems to the problem, but for me to reMe learn what most people take for I practice these exercisTodd Beckmann granted. es three or four times a week. But back to that footbridge. We were doing an overnight in the Porcupine Mountains earlier this month and our stay involved a three-mile hike with backpacks into Mirror Lake 2 — one of the cabins situated throughout the park. If you have never hiked the Porkies, you need to know there are several boardwalks, usually two-by-four boards side-by-side, used to span low-lying areas which tend to be water-logged, especially in late spring. I don’t understand how those gymnasts can handle the balance beam because I’m not my best when trying to navigate those four inches, even when there’s little danger of falling and getting hurt. I was leading the hike and had just circumnavigated the umpteenth mud hole not spanned by a boardwalk when I lost my footing and went down in the mud. Got back up and continued on and within 20 yards I was on one of those boardwalks — this boardwalk was raised about four inches. Wouldn’t you know it, I was in the middle of the boardwalk when one of the two-by-fours snapped? Didn’t fall — my foot didn’t even get wet but I did come down with all my weight on that foot, expecting to trod on the boardwalk. Made for a sore knee. About 10 more feet of hiking brought me to that footbridge. I don’t toss around the word “terrified” too often lest it lose its impact, but between falling in the mud and snapping through a boardwalk (within the previous two minutes), I was terrified when I stood on that bridge, and no amount of practice would have made me feel better. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like my legs are frozen (they actually feel numb) and receive no impulses from the brain as far as movement is concerned. If there was a silver lining, it was the fact we were the only hikers inbound to Mirror Lake — meaning there were no hikers behind us chomping at the bit to get across the river. Or worse, outbound hikers waiting on the far side of the footbridge watching and wondering, “What the hell is wrong with that guy?” Finally, I decided it was too far to go back so I forged ahead, finished crossing the bridge, walked the last half mile to our cabin and spent the rest of the evening worrying about crossing that damn river the next morning on the way back to the car.

Firing on all nine? What is the definition of a healthy community? What makes a community healthy? The folks at the Blandin Foundation have studied communities and have come up with some definitions. A health community is a place to live where all people can: meet their needs — economic, social, physical, cultural and spiritual; work togethFrom the er for the common Publisher’s good and participate in creating Desk their future. Tom Stangl To further refine the definition, Blandin has identified nine common dimensions of a healthy community: Life-long learning: all ages have access to educational opportunities that enable them to contribute to the economic, political, social and cultural life to the full extent of their potential. Inclusion: people constantly make the effort required to capitalize on the range of differences in the community and intentionally seek ways to utilize the diverse backgrounds, experiences and skills of everyone for the benefit of the whole community. Recreational and artistic opportunities: everyone has access to a variety of recreational and artistic opportunities. Environmental stewardship:

the community supports the environmental quality and management of natural resources that provide for a sustainable future. Infrastructure and services: the community has adequate infrastructure and all people have access to essential services. Safety and security: the community provides appropriate safety and security measures for all and actively addresses the causes and consequences of violence. Community leadership: there are broad-based leadership structures in which many people fill leadership roles. The same people or group of people do not hold all the leadership roles in the community. Economic opportunity: all people can earn an income that allows them to live with dignity. The economy of the community is sustainable and not dependent on exploiting human beings or depleting the natural environment. Spirituality and wellness: a healthy community recognizes that a person does best when they are sound in body, healthy in mind, and grounded in values that direct their lives. That’s what the folks at the Blandin Foundation have learned over years of study. I learned about the nine dimensions through a program for editors and publishers offered through the Minnesota Newspaper Association. The program has been tailored to help newspaper editors and pub-

lishers learn about their leadership role in the community. It was an eye-opening experience to become aware of the different dimensions. When it is placed before you, it makes perfect sense. But if I had been asked to name them before the session, I might be able to name just over half. We have been examining the stories we cover and how they fit in these nine common dimensions. It has been an interesting exercise to see where we focus our time and coverage. I bring all of this to your attention to get you thinking about our community. Putting a twist on the old car adage, are we “firing on all nine cylinders?” Are there dimensions of our community that need to be nurtured? Are there members of our community that are disenfranchised? Are there trends, concepts, approaches, ways of thinking and doing things that are boundary ideas, emerging, established or disappearing? Doing some introspection on a community wide level can be a healthy exercise. I especially welcome your thoughts and ideas about these concepts for our community. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Represent all citizens

Transportation key to state’s vibrant tourism industry BY TOM DIEHL

Tourism is one of the three major economic pillars that drive our state’s economy along with agriculture and manufacturing. Tourism brings in tax dollars from visitors from around the globe while also providing our citizens with high quality vacation, recreation and entertainment options. Now that summer has officially begun, visitors will be hitting the highways in earnest to get to their favorite Wisconsin destinations. Tourism generates $19.3 billion in business sales and supports more than 190,000 direct and indirect jobs. The $1.5 billion in state and local taxes generated by tourist spending in Wisconsin each year lightens the average household tax burden by $640 to maintain current levels of services. Wisconsin’s tourism industry has been on the upswing since it was elevated to a state agency in the mid-1990s. I am proud to have served as Chairman of the Governor’s Council on Tourism for over 13 years. There has always been bipartisan agreement that a renewed focus on “Badger State Hospitality” through high-profile marketing would be in the state’s long-term interest. The vast majority of Wisconsin tourists drive to their final destinations. That’s why it’s crucial to consider the needs of the tourism industry when developing statewide transportation priorities and funding strategies. We want to create a system that moves our visitors safely, efficiently and with the least amount of stress possible. Visitors to Wisconsin don’t spend money when they’re stuck in traffic or delayed due to poor road conditions. My fear is that Wisconsin’s transportation funding problems are beginning to hurt the state’s tourism industry. Big projects like the Zoo Interchange in Milwaukee and I-39/90 from Madison to the state line are facing multi-year delays. Future projects like Interstate expansion south of Wisconsin Dells and I-94 in western Wisconsin are decades away from reality because of demands on dwindling transportation revenues. In order to grow our economy, tax revenues and job opportunities, we need to invest in and build up Wisconsin. If Wisconsin is truly “open for business” then policymakers and the Governor must develop a bipartisan long-term transportation funding solution so tourists aren’t detoured to destinations in other states because of poor road condi-

Tom Diehl

tions. There is no denying the transportation needs in our state. A recent report by the national research group TRIP showed that 42% of Wisconsin’s major local and state roads are in mediocre to poor condition, meaning they are showing significant signs of deterioration and must be reconstructed. Other recent reports rank Wisconsin’s road conditions as some of the worst in the country. The Governor and legislative leaders appointed a high-level Blue Ribbon Commission to study transportation funding. The non-partisan Transportation Policy and Finance Commission found that Wisconsin’s transportation fund is at least $650 million short every year going forward if nothing is done simply to fund the projects that have already been approved. The choice isn’t that difficult. State policymakers and the Governor can either do nothing to address the transportation funding shortfall and watch our local and state roads continue to deteriorate and previously-approved projects face delays, or they can just fix it and watch how quickly the return on investment comes back in the form of increased economic activity. Let’s hope they make the right choice. (Tom Diehl has been a statewide leader in the tourism industry for more than 40 years. He co-owns Tommy Bartlett Incorporated in Wisconsin Dells with his wife, Margaret)

To the Editor: A recent Wisconsin Public Radio news item mentioned that the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters recently listed the three most anti-environmental politicians presently serving in the Wisconsin Legislature. The list was based on the anti-environmental bills that the three politicians introduced in the Madison statehouse. Representative Adam Jarchow was one of the politicians named. I had earlier written letters to the editor when Jarchow’s proposed laws were introduced. Briefly, the bills took away rights of local governments to decide how they wanted lakes, streams and wetlands in their area protected. Jarchow’s proposed legislation would take away those rights and transfer them to Madison under the control of the now Republican state government. Some, but not all, of Jarchow’s bills were made into law. Jarchow responded to the League of Conservation voter’s rating by stating, “I see it as a badge of honor. I am proud to work hard to protect property rights on behalf of my constituents. Our progrowth, common-sense reforms are working. If extremists, left-wing, radical, environmental groups don’t like it, too bad.” I don’t like it and I’m not extreme or radical. I think of myself as a common-sense, centrist conservationist. I am also pro-environment since the environment is what supports life on earth. We need healthy lakes, streams, wetlands, forests and fields. A strong, healthy environment can support a strong, healthy and growing economy (jobs!!!). What about other people and groups that oppose Jarchow’s views (and political record) on environmental protection? Are the county and town boards, lake associations, the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, the League of Conser-

vation Voters and others considered “extreme, left-wing, radical environmental groups?” I think not. In America, (including Jarchow’s assembly district) most natural resources are held in trust by governments for all citizens, not just the wealthy. It is the uniquely American concept of Public Trust. Do we want the tradition of land ownership that existed in Europe to become entrenched in our country? Our ancestors immigrated to America to escape the domination of a small minority of rich landowners. We need someone in Madison to represent all citizens, not just the wealthy who want to “protect their property rights.” Jim Evrard Grantsburg

Wrong side of the bed

To the Editor: I am reading a book by Webb Garrison named “What’s in a Word?” and there are words and sayings that are interesting, “get up on the wrong side of the bed” is one. The Latin word sinister meant “on the left.” Any act involving the left was often regarded with suspicion and dread. For example, a wise person made it a habit to get out of bed on the right side. If he occasionally crawled out of bed on the left side, bad luck was believed to follow. A person expecting to encounter trouble is seldom in the best of moods, so irritability came to be associated with getting out of bed on the left, or wrong side. This notion was so widely accepted that when we encounter ill-natured people, we say that “it looks as though they got up on the wrong side of the bed.” Ecclesiastes 10-2 says, “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Mark Pettis Hertel

Dramatic testimony in day one of trial WRECK: Grantsburg BY TOM STANGL PUBLISHER

ELLSWORTH—Jurors heard testimony Monday from nine witnesses in the opening day of a weeklong vehicular homicide trial in Ellsworth. Kari Jo Milberg, 35, of Centuria is charged with three counts of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle and one count of reckless driving causing injury. Milberg, her two children and two nieces were involved in a head-on collision in Pierce County on Dec. 12, 2013. Lydia Milberg, 11, Clara Pavek, 5, and Laynie Jo Amos, 5, all died as a result of injuries sustained in the accident. Milberg’s son, Easton, 3, survived the accident. All of the witnesses on Monday were presented by the prosecution, conducted by Pierce County District Attorney Sean Froelich. Police officers, eyewitnesses and the driver of the straight truck that collided with Milberg’s Saturn Vue were among the witnesses on the opening day. In addition to providing testimony to the facts of the case, road conditions the day of the accident were the topic of many questions. Myrna Rian and her partner, Neil Sagan each testified. The pair were in Rian’s car that was approximately eight car lengths behind the Milberg vehicle at the time of the accident. Rian made one of the calls to 911. She testified that the Milberg vehicle “made a complete u-turn” into the path of an oncoming straight truck driven by Jose Mendoza.

Read the Sentinel

Rian testified that she did not witness any brake lights or erratic driving before the accident. She told the jury of 10 women and four men that the crash “sounded like a loud explosion.” After seeing that a person from the truck was having difficulties telling the 911 dispatcher where they were located, she called 911. An audio recording of the 911 call was played. When the call to 911 was complete, Rian testified that she heard Easton crying and crossed the road to see what she could do to help. After locating Easton, still in his car seat, Rian found his coat on the floor of the car and covered him up, staying with him until first responders arrived on the scene. An audio recording of the interview that law enforcement conducted with Sagan and Rian was played. Sagan told investigators that there was no swerving and no slowing down before the car did a u-turn. “Those guys never had a chance to blink,” Sagan said of the occupants in the straight truck. He said that there was not any evidence of trouble until the sudden turn, commenting “it wasn’t noticeable until it did what it did.” Police investigators testified that the roadway was wet, but not slick. There was some snow on the shoulder of the road, some of it extending to the white fog line on the right edge of the roadway. Mendoza, the driver of the truck, testified that he had been discussing the road conditions with the two other occupants of his truck

and decided to slow down to 30 miles per hour. Mendoza told the jury that this was his first time driving on Hwy 35, where the accident occurred. Kati Milberg Pavek, sister of the defendant and mother of Clara, who was killed in the accident, was called to testify by the prosecution. Pavek testified that her sister and the children went to the Giggle Factory in Hudson and were coming back to the Pavek residence to spend an extended weekend to celebrate Kati’s birthday. On her way home, Pavek encountered a road block set up to divert traffic around the accident. She asked law enforcement if there had been an accident. She was told that there had been one. She asked if there were children involved and the officer confirmed that children were involved. Despite her pleas to go to the site to see if her child was in the accident, she was diverted around the accident. Pavek went to her home, saying, “if they weren’t there, I would have my answer.” The house was dark, Pavek returned to the scene and convinced police to allow her to walk to the crash. Defense attorney Aaron Nelson pressed his assertion that unsafe tires on the Milberg vehicle and slippery conditions were the cause of the accident. On cross examination, Mendoza said that he thought the highway was slippery and that there was ice on the road. Testimony continues on Tuesday with the trial scheduled through the end of the week.

after looking at our 3D grid,” he remarked. That information made a huge difference because Anderson and his team had been looking at the huge blue downward spike as a potential train wreck site. Pointing to the reds, he said, ‘There are three cars laying right there and the locomotive looks like it’s lying on its side,’” Anderson continued. It’s just one man’s opinion, but Anderson knows one thing for sure — he’s going to dive the lake again. “Because the magnetometer is like a huge metal detector, we can’t tell if it’s all under the landslide or if any of it may be sticking out,” he reasoned. But, he likes his odds. “I’m convinced it’s there,” he said of the wreck. “And now, we know for sure where to look.” Since Anderson and the rest of the divers all have day jobs, the hunt has been on the back burner. “The guys at Northland Equipment Services in Clear Lake, the dive team Anderson Repair works with, said the water is almost perfect for a dive in July,” he explained. “So hopefully, we’ll do that dive in the next two or three weeks.” Finding the potential wreck site makes Anderson a little giddy. “I hope we can just see something physical — then we’ll know for sure it’s there,” he concluded. “Then we’d have something to document.”

BEARS: Resident offenders ousted CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

a bear from a tree stand located within the village. The bears didn’t come around. This spring, the removal process was already underway when the village board and north side residents spoke on June 13 at the village board’s monthly meeting to find a solution. Three north side moms told the board of feeling trapped in their homes by bold bears in their yards. They said the frequent bear sightings made them unwilling to go out for a morning run or take their children out for a walk, or to let the kids play in their own yard. Crex Meadows/DNR Wildlife Biologist Steve Hoffman reported at the June 13 board meeting that one of the most troublesome bears, a sow with three cubs, had just been trapped and removed from a village neighborhood. That sow, who last fall was transported 90 miles east to Glidden but returned to Grantsburg within a few weeks, was euthanized. Hoffman said that trapped sow’s three cubs were also live-captured in smaller cage traps beside the culvert trap and moved to a “cub rehab” program in Rhinelander. In addition to the sow bear, Ruid said two yearlings were also put down. “They had become highly habituated to humans,” he said. The three other trapped bears were released into the wild, far from Grantsburg. Team effort A team effort between citizens and government helped bring progress. Northside families notified the village office whenever they spotted one or more bears in their yards, or when bears were casually walking through yards around on Jackson Street and areas to the east. The village office

relayed the information to the USDA office in Rhinelander, which in turn alerted its wildlife removal tech based in Cumberland. With the citizens’ help, “now we have had traps in the right location when the bears show up,” Ruid said. No bears have been shot, he added. To catch a bear, the wildlife tech places a culvert trap (bear trap on wheels) by parking it where the trap’s open door is at ground level. When a bear enters the trap and walks to the front, it usually pulls down on the bait bucket which trips a trigger mechanism to shut the trap’s door. The tech can then safely hook the trailer to a pickup truck and remove the trap(s) from the village. “As the berry and fungus season have now begun, there is more natural food for bears in the woods,” Ruid said. “Hopefully, as the food sources increase in the woods, it will help minimize the bear conflicts in town.” Asked what Grantsburg can do to keep bears out of the village, Ruid said, “Eliminate all the food sources. Eliminate, eliminate, eliminate. If the bears are getting rewarded by eating bird seed, deer corn, dog food, cat food or garbage – any human food source – they will continue to come into town.” He added, “The Grantsburg bears that we’re dealing with – the sows and yearlings – the village became their territory for seeking food.” To that end, the Grantsburg Village Board voted at its June 13 meeting to begin work on a ordinance levying fines for residents who leave out food sources for bears. “We take resolving these conflicts seriously, these problems between humans and highly-habituated bears,” Ruid said. “The only solution is to stop the feeding and remove the bears.”

SCHROEDER: Webster’s Grand Mistress CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

That was my favorite,” she said. In a page-long August 24, 2005 Inter-County Leader story, reporter Nancy Jappe cataloged Schroeder’s work experience and accomplishments: Edna Jackson Schroeder has chalked up a formidable list of accomplishments: Webster Citizen of the Year (1999), One of the 10 Most Admired Senior Citizens in Wisconsin (1992). She was featured with her family in a 1983 series on blacks in rural Wisconsin in the Milwaukee Journal and in her role as a foster mother in Negro Families in Rural Wisconsin, a 1959 publication of the Governor’s Commission on Human Rights. From 1960-1962, Schroeder was the only woman school bus driver in the Webster School District, driving her own station wagon. She worked at Swedberg Funeral Home when other staff had to be gone. She was the Webster nutrition site manager from 1980-1993. In 2003, Schroeder was named the Aging Program’s Volunteer of the Year. She served for six years on the Aging Department’s advisory committee. Married twice, she raised five children: Alfred, Barbara, Louise, William and Phillip, four of whom attended Webster Schools. They went through some rough times as the only African Americans in Webster, but Schroeder harbored no bitterness. She turned the other cheek, helped form the school’s Parent Teacher Association, and said she never regretted her move north. Later, she lost two of her sons, William and Alfred, to cancer. Currently, Louise lives with her mother. Schroeder was active with the Webster Lioness Club, the Grantsburg American

Edna Schroeder

Legion Auxiliary, and is a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Markville. For a long time, she played in a pool league and pitched horseshoes “How I got really involved in a lot of stuff (was because of) my beautiful, wonderful neighbor Lela Aubert,” commented Schroeder. “We were like sisters.” A cancer survivor, Schroeder is perpetually cheerful, positive and not easily excitable. Her reaction on being selected as Parade Grand Marshall: “I’m shocked and surprised. When something wonderful happens to me, I’m just as I am now,” which is down-to-earth and humble. However, she did admit to being a little bit excited about the prospect of heading up the parade. Former Aging Director Lois Taylor commented in the August 2005 story, “At age 89, Edna Schroeder decided to retire. We will see how long she will last.” Well folks, she’s lasted. An early very Happy 100th birthday to you, Edna!

Ham it up with leftovers With grocery prices low, it’s time to get cooking with ham, eggs and cheese. I recently bought an extra large ham so I could make scalloped potatoes and ham, ham-bean soup and wild rice and ham quiche. When I have ham leftovers, I add it to many different dishes. One of my favorite strategies is to chop it for packaging and freezing. Adding ham to hash brown potatoes or to a macaroni and pasta hot-dish takes boring dishes to super in a flash.

Wild Chow Lisa Erickson

In the mornings, I like to eat a protein heavy breakfast, such as eggs sautéed with red bell peppers and onions. Adding ham makes it a perfect hearty breakfast that will stick with me all morning long. When I have more time, I like to make ham quiche which takes more time to cook, but is perfect for special occasions. When I have overnight company this recipe is the first one I think of. I like to show my out-of-town guests what a great combination ham and wild rice make. Plus, with egg, pork and cheese prices so low, now is the time to make this dish.

Wild rice and ham quiche Serves 6 9 or 10-inch prebaked pie crust 1 cup ham, chopped 3/4 cup cooked wild rice 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped 1/4 cup onion, minced 1/4 cup fresh button mushrooms, sliced 8 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded 4 eggs, beaten 3/4 cup sour cream 1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combined ham, rice, pepper, onion, and mushrooms and spoon into prebaked pie crust. In another medium bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, Swiss cheese and salt and pepper. Pour over wild rice and ham mixture. Bake for 45-50 minutes until center is cooked thoroughly. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

WEEKLY WAG News from the Burnett County Humane Society

Oakley is a three-yearold, semi-long-haired orange cat. She is small for her age and I was surprised that she was a she, and not a he. This is because orange cats are predominantly males. Oakley is beautiful and petite, with a runway model prance that Oakley could catch anyone’s eye. This girl was a stray, but came to us wearing a flea collar. Unfortunately, she has passed the seven-dayhold period and nobody has come forward to claim her. Oakley is sweet and gentle and loves to put her head in your cupped hands. Her fur is gorgeous, with no tangles or matting (which tells me that she is either an expert at grooming herself or someone at the shelter has been brushing her). I was told that Oakley was really well Apollo behaved with some children that came to see her. She’d be a wonderful addition to any family. A.J. is another stray cat who recently came to our shelter. This fellow is almost all black, except for some tiny white areas on his chest. He is so friendly and melts in your arms when being held. One of our staff said it’s like carrying a “limp noodle.” I haven’t met him yet because he was in the back room, but I was told he was coming up front in the next day or so. Staff tending to him said that he is a great kitty. Sounds like he’d be a good fit for any home, too. Finally, I’m going to feature one-year-old Apollo again. He was quite shy when he first arrived at the shelter, but has turned into quite the character now. I went to visit him in the office, where he was having “his turn” to be free to play and roam. Well, I couldn’t find him anywhere, and it got to the point that a few of us were looking for him and beginning to worry that he might have gotten out with the comings and goings. He was finally found... in the silverware drawer. (Remind me to bring my own utensils in if I’m having lunch at the shelter!) Now, Apollo isn’t a tiny cat – but maybe a bit of a contortionist. Nor is he shy, as he loves attention and is quite vocal in his condo when people pass him by. Another big plus with Apollo is that he likes dogs. What more can you ask for? Just keep your cupboards closed! If you are interested in adopting Oakley, A.J., Apollo, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096.

Arlene Jensen Arlene Lorraine (Connor) Jensen, 81, a resident of OakJ lland Township, Burnett Countty, passed away Monday, February 8, 2016. a A celebration of Arleneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is planned for Friday, July 8, 2016, p at Forts Folle Avoine Historical a Park, 8500 Co Rd U, (Oakland P Twp) Danbury, WI 54830. T Visitation will commence at 111 a.m., followed by a service at 112 p.m., officiated by Pastor Myron Carlson. A fellowship luncheon will follow immediately after the service. Interment will be held at Orange Lakeside Cemetery. A period of socializing after the burial is planned at Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake. Honorary Pallbearers are Terry Buford, Betty Thompson, Rose DeFilippo, Dennis and Jeanette Frandsen, Mary Steen, Bernie Tolan, Jo Dahlberg, Lorna Mangen and Thelma Johnson. Arlene was born November 22, 1934 in Hayward, a daughter of Benjamin and Vivian (Johnson) Connor. She attended public schools and was valedictorian of her high school class at Webster High School. Arleneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ambition was to get into business ad-

ministration; however, counselors of that time told her there were no careers for women in business. Instead, she pursued a nursing career after high school. While in nursing school on March 27, 1955, she met Dorain Jensen, aka D.E., from Luck. As she wrote in one of her albums, their first date was April 5, 1955. They were engaged on August 19, 1955, and married on September 10, 1955. Arlene and Dorain eloped to Nashua, Iowa, and were married in the Little Brown Church in the Vale. Because students of nursing could not be married while in school, she had to discontinue her nursing education. So, she decided to get a teaching certificate. For roughly the first 20 years of her married life, Arlene was a dedicated, stay-at-home mom, caring for her four children, her husband, Dorain, and maintaining a beautiful home. She absolutely loved to cook, bake, sew, knit and crochet, take care of the house, entertain, socialize, play Bridge and work on her flower boxes and roses. There were many gatherings at the Jensen house, and all were included in the fun. Around 1978, Arlene decided to again pursue a bachelor of science degree in Business Administration. In 1981, she graduated from University of River Falls. She also completed realtor classes and received real estate licenses. She worked in real estate sales in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Arlene moved back to the Webster/Danbury area to care for her mother and to semi-retire. She ended up

Lesneski to leave Webster schools BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—When the Webster Middle School opens its doors on the 2016-17 school year, it will do so with a new principal following action at the Webster School Board meeting last week. The board accepted the resignation of Diana Lesneski, who has served as principal for three years. She has accepted a job as an elementary school principal in Tomah. “We’ve had that job posted for a week or so and we’ve already had 15 applicants,” superintendent Jim Erickson explained. “I hope to conduct interviews before the month is up.” As is typical for summer school board business, a lot of emphasis is placed on personnel — both those leaving as well as new hires. Other resignations the board accepted were those of instructional aide Joel Drahos and food service manager Kathy “Daisy” Eckstrom. “Daisy has been with us for more than 35 years,” Erickson exclaimed. “She started as a bus driver, worked her way into food service and for the last several years she has been food service manager.” The board also approved contracts for Pamela Calyn, special education teacher, Gina Simon, 5th grade teacher, Dylan Romanoski, high school English teacher and Gracie Billings, elementary school counselor. The board also okayed Kevin Haglund and Travis Moser to serve as varsity football assistant coaches and Rob Scherrer as a middle

school football coach. SCHOOL SECURITY The board voted to install a camera/intercom buzz-in system at its schools for the new year. “The board has this discussion every time a tragedy strikes,” Erickson pointed out. “We’re one of the few schools in the area without a system like this.” He said it always Diana Lesneski seems to have come down to a philosophical discussion. “Do we want a building where the community feels like they can come and go or do we want a building with more of an institutional facility-feel,” Erickson said of past discussions. Obviously, today’s board made the decision to add a buzz-in system. “We will be shopping to find a vendor who meets our needs,” Erickson reasoned. In other business: • The board approved the second reading of a new two-sport policy, which goes into effect for the coming year. Erickson said the policy puts the structure in place for kids to participate in two sports within the same season — golf and baseball, as an example. “Our numbers indicate we will have less than 200 kids at the high school for the foreseeable future,” he clarified. “In the rare occasion

it would work, we wanted to make sure the avenue was available to them to compete.” The policy can be viewed at the district office. • Summer is also construction season for the district and the board awarded several bids last week in hopes the work will be done yet this summer. Hopkins Sand and Gravel was awarded the bid to expand the entry to the 5-12 building from Fairgrounds Road, adding a lane in both directions, widening the entry to make it safer for vehicle traffic. Roy’s Sealcoating got the bid to seal coat and strip two parking lots, and A to Z Contracting got the bid to complete some sidewalk repair and to shore up the announcing booth at the football field. • The board approved a ten-cent increase in lunch fees for the coming school year. “We are simply staying in Department of Public Instruction guidelines,” Erickson remarked. The board also adopted the same costs for 2016-17 as 2015-16 for 5-12 registration fees ($5), high school parking permits ($5) and drivers education ($100). • The board also voted to withdraw from the Government Property Insurance Fund for the 2016-17 school year. “We had been paying about $25,000 a year in premiums,” Erickson concluded. “ This year’s proposal was $44,000 — we didn’t feel like we could absorb that kind of hit.” He said the district is working with its broker to find viable alternatives.

Food drive Tillie’s Annual Food Drive, co-hosted by the three St. Croix Casinos, has lent a helping hand to food pantries in northwest Wisconsin since 1993. This year’s drive, held June 13 to 17, was no exception: Thanks to almost 4,000 generous casino guests, St. Croix Casino Danbury, St. Croix Casino Hertel Express and St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake collected 12,000 pounds of food donations. The casino delivery crew, Elizabeth Denniston, James Jayme, Sanford Mosay, Marvin “Tom” Tahmahkera and Judy Warmanen of St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake, distributed the food donations. Twenty-two charities, including Connections and More in Webster, received food from this year’s drive.

Sunﬁsh art project presented to Webster BY HARRIET RICE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WEBSTER—It was a big day June 23 at Webster School as students presented their finished Sunfish Art Project to Webster Village President Jeff Roberts. Thirteen middle schoolers built six oversized, three-dimensional sunfish puppets during two weeks of summer half-day sessions June 13-23.

TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

Thursday was Presentation Day as the Webster summer school kids (from left) Maddy Chenal, Poom Sukkasemhathai, Tristan Mauer and Spencer Andreson presented their Centennial Fish project to the village.

The kids cut the waves and fish outlines from heavy-duty coroplast campaign placards and stapled “ribs” to the fish. The fish were painted and scales cut from recycled clear bottles were applied to the ribs, interest and focus grew. Class members loved to spray paint. Minneapolis-based instructor/artist Joshua McGarvey taught the correct way to apply it. As the scales were painted, foam rubber lips applied and fins attached, the group became excited and really “got into it.” Then came the part where the finished fish were attached to poles, straps were made so the students could “animate” the fish — that was really fun. On Wednesday, the class paraded into the cafeteria at lunchtime to show their peers and teachers what they’d accomplished. They got a lot of “ooooohs” and “aaaaahs” as well as a hearty round of applause. On Thursday, school officials looked on as Webster High School senior and Thai exchange student Poom Sukkasemhathai ceremonially handed the largest sunfish to Roberts. In addition having fun, students learned about using recycled materials and safely using tools. They had to think of creative solutions to design challenges, and they learned patience in seeing a project through from start to finish. Sixth grader Tristan Mauer summed it up this way: “I absolutely love art. I love spray paint, drawing and puppetry. I loved the design of the fish and had lots of fun.”

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Republican lawmakers target urban schools for more aid MILWAUKEE (AP) — Republican state lawmakers say they want to increase funding for Wisconsin’s urban schools. The recommendations were included in a state Assembly task force report released on Wednesday. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports priorities include expanding summer school and early childhood programs and improving access to mental health care for students.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos convened the task force and says its report is a “step forward.’’ Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Darienne Driver calls the report “encouraging’’ and evidence that urban educators have been heard. But, Democratic state Rep. Sondy Pope says the task force was a waste of time and taxpayer money. It “doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of the issues facing our urban schools.’’

Pine City official charged, put on leave BY MIKE GAINOR PINE CITY PIONEER

PINE CITY, Minn.— Nathan Lawrence Johnson, 38, of Pine City has been charged with two felony counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and two misdemeanor counts of furnishing tobacco to a minor. Johnson, who is the community development director and city planner for Pine City, was arrested on June 10 and has been placed on paid administrative leave. CRIMINAL CHARGES The charges revolve around an incident in 2015 in which Johnson allegedly sexually touched a 15-year-old male. According to the criminal complaint, a Pine County investigator interviewed a teenage male on or about July 1, 2015. The teenage male told the investigator that he met Johnson through a mutual friend. He said that a short time later, Johnson sent him a message on Facebook and they began to send messages back and forth. Investigators reviewed the teenager’s Facebook account. According to the criminal complaint, the teenager’s Facebook page shows that he and Johnson began exchanging messages in July 2014. In August 2014, the teenager messaged Johnson and asked Johnson to buy him chewing tobacco. Johnson allegedly did so. Johnson then allegedly asked for pictures of the teenager partially unclothed in return for more tobacco. The teenager agreed and sent photos. Johnson allegedly bought him tobacco in return. The teenager told investigators that in April 2015, Johnson asked him if he wanted to clean Johnson’s home for $20 an hour. The teenager agreed, and allegedly received more tobacco products from Johnson after cleaning the house. The teenager said that Johnson asked him to clean his house again a few days later. He said that at the house, Johnson offered him a back massage. He agreed, but said he told Johnson to stop after the massage became sexual. He said Johnson then apologized.

ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin’s Transportation Program: Q&A BY: CARRIE MYERS RESOURCE SPECIALIST FOR THE ADRC OF NW WI

It is no secret that small towns such as ours in Burnett County struggle to fill the need of transportation services. With no public transportation, people are left with providing their own or leaning on a family or friend for transportation. The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin is one of few agencies that help fill that need, through our Elderly and Disabled Transportation Program and Volunteer Driver Program. We provide non-emergency transportation to and from local and out-of-area locations for individuals who are 60 years of age and older, and individuals of all ages who have a disability. Medical appointments are our top priority, however, we accept other transportation requests and are able to accommodate on a case-by-case basis. Transportation is provided by volunteer drivers, people out in the community who understand the need and want to help fill it! Keep reading for details about our program and get your questions answered with the following Q&A. How much does this service cost? Unfortunately, we are unable to provide this service for free; however, we do provide it at a steal of deal! Co-payments are based on the number of miles traveled by the volunteer driver starting from and ending at the volunteer driver’s home. We pick the volunteer closest to the passenger’s home to ensure co-payments are as low as possible. Co-payments are $0.27 (27 cents) per mile and for individuals who utilize our program for five or more appointments/rides per month, the co-payment drops to $0.14 (14 cents) per mile. These prices are subject to change from year to year; however, passengers are notified of all increases and decreases. The cost for Veterans is a little trickier and varies based upon where they are going and whether they receive travel pay benefits through the Veterans Administration (VA). For veterans who do not receive travel pay benefits, we provide transportation to and from the VA Medical Center of their choice (Rice Lake, St Cloud, and Minneapolis) for $30 per trip. If a veteran receives travel pay benefits from the VA, the cost for the trip equals the travel benefits they receive each time they go to their VA Medical Center for an appointment. For trips to other medical facilities or for other transportation needs, the co-payment prices listed above apply. How do I get started so I can request transporta-

tion through the ADRC Program? First, call the ADRC of NW WI at 877-485-2372 at least two weeks in advance to ensure all paperwork is complete prior to when you’ll need transportation assistance. We ask each new rider to complete a demographic information form, which gathers basic contact information as well as financial information. The financial information helps us determine if you are able to pay the co-payment. Financial disclosure is an option; however, non disclosure will result in the full co-payment being charged. Once you are entered and approved in our dispatch program, you are eligible to make ride requests! I’m on Wisconsin Medical Assistance. May I use this transportation service? Most individuals receiving Wisconsin Medical Assistance get their non-emergency medical transportation needs paid for through their medical assistance benefits and provided through the transportation service, MTM. However, Medical Assistance benefits do not cover other transportation needs. Individuals receiving Wisconsin Medical Assistance could use our transportation services for other transportation needs outside of medical transportation, but remember our program is only able to provide this transportation on a case-by-case basis. Contact MTM to find out if you qualify for non-emergency medical transportation through your Wisconsin Medical Assistance benefits at 866-907-1493. I need transportation assistance, but my budget is already stretched to the max. Are there any special programs available for individuals in my situation? One of the main reasons we gather financial information on the initial demographic form, is to evaluate if, indeed, it would be a hardship for the passenger to pay the co-payment amount. In addition, we connect those unable to pay the co-payment amount with one of our benefit specialists. Our benefit specialist is able to look a little deeper and see if the passenger qualifies for any assistance or other programs. We provide a waiver for these individual who can’t afford the co-payment amount providing transportation at no cost. All avenues and options are researched before granting the waiver. I have a few free days a week and would like to become a volunteer driver. How do I go about doing this? Individuals interested in becoming a volunteer driver can call the ADRC at 877-485-2372 and talk with our transportation specialist. We are always looking for individuals interested in becoming a volunteer driver. Volunteer drivers: • Donate their time providing portal to portal transportation for elderly and disabled passengers. • Have access to an easy-to-use, web-based program to volunteer for trips most convenient for them, • Are provided all necessary training at no cost. • Are reimbursed for the following expenses: 1) Mileage at the current IRS mileage reimbursement rate round-trip from their home. 2) Meal expenses incurred during trips that are outside the driver’s home county. 3) All parking fees. • Drivers are required to have proof of valid automobile insurance along with a valid driver’s license on file at all times with the ADRC. Still have questions? Contact the ADRC of NW WI today at 877-485-2372!

CAREGIVERS CORNER By Barb Blodgett

Here are some statistics for May from Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County. Thank you to all of our volunteers for making all we do possible. Mileage – 5,033 miles driven on behalf of clients. Transportation - 34 clients. Chore services - 103. Food delivery - 58. Furniture moved - 1. Ramps built - 2 (included in total of 75, and two more in the planning stages). Ramps removed – (one removal in the planning stage). Seniors served - 62. Emergency housing - 1. Fuel vouchers - 4. Food vouchers - 2. Without volunteers, we could not keep up our numbers. Still, we could use your help. Please consider volunteering some of your time to help our area neighbors in need. We are looking forward to the 4th of July. We will be selling snow cones at the Webster parade, as well as our 50/50 raffle tickets. We will be in Webb Lake on July 2 to honor our veterans at “One Nation Under God.” We hope to be at Gandy Dancer Days and then Siren Music in the Park on August 11. Plan to see us at many other events. We are working on some other fundraising ideas, too. I will let you know when and where. Check our Facebook page, “Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County,” for information on coming events, stories and just fun things. Of course, you can always call 715-866-4970 for details on what is happening, when and where you can volunteer and to tell us if you know someone who needs our help. Because of two of our faithful volunteers, we are able to keep a young (89) lady in her home. Thank you to the quilters of New Hope Lutheran Church in Grantsburg for donating many beautiful quilts. I thought they said to come pick up one quilt, but they meant a bunch of quilts! I didn’t count, but I would guess there are close to 30. Until next time.

FoodShare replacement card update BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Starting July 1, 2016, FoodShare members who report a lost or stolen QUEST card may be charged a fee for a replacement card. Each cardholder is eligible for one free replacement card each calendar year. Due to the change taking effect in the middle of the year, a fee will not be charged for the first replacement QUEST card from July 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. The replacement card fee is $2.70, and it will be taken out of the member’s FoodShare benefits account if the member has enough funds. If the member does not have enough funds in his or her account, the fee will be taken out when the benefits become available.

Be on alert for tax fraud BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

The end of tax season is a prime opportunity for scammers to target you. Scammers will target people who owe the IRS money and make threatening phone calls or demand information from you, like your Social Security Number. These people are NOT Social Security, IRS or government employees. According to the Social Security Office, requests from a government agency will come in writing. Legitimate Social Security, IRS or government employees will never: • Call you to demand immediate payment; • Demand that you pay a debt without the ability to appeal the amount you owe;

• Require a specific means of payment, such as requiring you to pay with a prepaid debit card; • Ask you for your personal information or credit or debit card numbers over the phone; or • Threaten you with arrest or deportation. If you receive one of these calls and are unsure what to do, hang up immediately. Do not give out any of your personal information. You can also request a number and extension as government officials have valid telephone numbers and extensions. After verifying that the information is correct, you can call back. Do not feel pressured to provide any information over the phone, especially if you feel uncomfortable.

Men: take active role in your health care July evening meals, August picnic set

In 1994, Congress passed National Men’s Health Week, which is now part of Men’s Health Month every June. According to menshealthmonth.org, the goal is to “heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease.” Men are encouraged to take a more active role in their health by eating nutritious foods, exercising and making disease prevention a priority. Below are Medicare’s coverage guidelines for some preventative services. Cardiovascular disease screening Cardiovascular disease screenings check your cholesterol and lipid (blood fat) levels. Medicare covers this screening once every five years if ordered by a doctor. You pay nothing for this screening. Prostate cancer screening Men age 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 copay for a digital rectal exam. Colorectal cancer screening Beneficiaries age 50 and older are eligible for colorectal screenings. The different screening methods have different time requirements. Fecal occult blood tests are covered once every 12 months for those who are age 50 and older. Colonoscopies are covered once every 120 months (or once every 24 months for those who are high-risk). Barium enemas are covered (once every 48 months or once every 24 months for those who are high risk) when used in place of other screenings.

Tips for seniors re-entering the workforce Sometimes an older person needs to enter the workforce due to changes in their personal or financial situation, but it is often difficult for seniors to find gainful employment as they get older. The rapid pace of technology often dictates that older people acquire new knowledge and skills to be marketable in today’s work environment. The Wisconsin Senior Employment Program (WISE) helps people 55 and older learn new skills by placing them in training positions. Workers are paid minimum wage and income limits do apply. However, the goal is to help them gain regular, unsubsidized employment. The program serves a wide variety of people from all walks of life. Training is provided by host agencies that are either non-profit or governmental and they supervise the progress and abilities of each participant. WISE is the state-administered Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) authorized by Title V of the Older Americans Act, federally funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Options for Employment Are you: • 55 years of age or older? • Unemployed? • On a limited income? • A resident of Wisconsin? • In need of work? If this describes you, call the Polk/ Burnett County ADRC office to learn more. The WISE Program helps older adults age 55 and older with training for employment needs and offers referrals for other services. WISE provides older adults with training opportunities and part-time, paid-work experience in community service organizations. The on-the-job experience received helps to build and improve your skills for permanent em-

ployment. Work toward a new career in: • Clerical/Computers • Library Aide • Retail/Sales • Maintenance • Food Service • Custodial/Maintenance • Teacher’s Aide • Home Health and Hospital • Adult/Child Day Care. Not sure about what type of work you might want to do? We can help you make the right choice for your future career. What will you have to do once you qualify? Each WISE Program participant receives individual job counseling and a comprehensive assessment from an Older Worker Coordinator. Together, the job seeker and Older Worker Coordinator prepare an individual employment plan to be used as a guide during your training. The Wisconsin Senior Employment Program places experienced and skilled mature workers back in the workforce. If you are 55 years of age or older and are interested or want more information, call the Polk/Burnett County ADRC office at 715-349-2100. Call and ask for the Older Worker Coordinator. Or, for more information, contact: Wisconsin Senior Employment Program Department of Health Services Division of Long Term Care Bureau of Aging & Disability Resources P.O. Box 7851, Madison, WI 53707 (608) 267-9097.

Social Security Q & A GENERAL

Question: Can I complete business with Social Security online? Answer: There are many things you can do on Social Security’s website. You can conduct most of your Social Security business with us online at www.socialsecurity.gov/onlineservices. You can get an estimate of future benefits, find out if you qualify for benefits now, and even apply for benefits. You can complete a number of other tasks online, too. You can estimate your retirement benefit using our Retirement Estimator, which allows you to get an instant, personalized estimate of your future benefit based on different retirement ages and scenarios. You can even open your own my Social Security account to plan for and manage your benefits. In some areas, you can even request a replacement Social Security card using your my Social Security account. Open or access your my Social Security account today at www. socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. Question: I am receiving Social Security retirement benefits and I recently went back to work. Do I have to pay Social Security (FICA) taxes on my income? Answer: Yes. By law, your employer must withhold FICA taxes from your paycheck. Although you are retired, you do receive credit for those new earnings. Each year Social Security automatically credits the new earnings and, if your new earnings are higher than in any earlier year used to calculate your current benefit, your monthly benefit could increase. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov or call us at 1-800-7721213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

RETIREMENT Question: I want to estimate my retirement benefit at several different ages. Is there a way to do that? Answer: Use our Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator to get an instant, personalized retirement benefit estimate based on current law and your earnings record. The Retirement Estimator, which also is available

Hospice care provides compassion and support at a time when it’s needed the most.

We’re here for you.

in Spanish, lets you create additional “what if” retirement scenarios based on different income levels and “stop work” ages. Question: I plan to retire soon. When are Social Security benefits paid? Answer: Social Security benefits are paid each month. Generally, new retirees receive their benefits on either the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month, depending on the day in the month the retiree was born. If you receive benefits as a spouse, your benefit payment date will be determined by your spouse’s birth date. Here’s a chart showing how your monthly payment date is determined: Day of the Month You Were Born Social Security Benefits Paid On 1st-10th Second Wednesday 11th-20th Third Wednesday 21st-31st Fourth Wednesday For a calendar showing actual payment dates, see the Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs.

DISABILITY Question: I am expecting a child and will be out of work for six months. Can I qualify for short-term disability? Answer: No. Social Security pays only for total disability — conditions that render you unable to work and are expected to last for at least a year or end in death. No benefits are payable for partial disability or short-term disability, including benefits while on maternity leave. Question: I get Social Security because of a disability. How often will my case be reviewed to determine if I’m still eligible? Answer: How often we review your medical condition depends on how severe it is and the likelihood it will improve. Your award notice tells you when you can expect your first review using the following terminology: • Medical improvement expected—If

your condition is expected to improve within a specific time, your first review will be six to 18 months after you started getting disability benefits. • Medical improvement possible—If improvement in your medical condition is possible, your case will be reviewed about every three years. • Medical improvement not expected—If your medical condition is unlikely to improve, your case will be reviewed about once every five to seven years. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov.

SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME Question: I know you need to have limited resources to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), but what does Social Security consider a resource? Answer: Resources are things you own that you can use for support. They include cash, real estate, personal belongings, bank accounts, stocks, and bonds. To be eligible for SSI, a person must have no more than $2,000 in countable resources. A married couple must have no more than $3,000 in countable resources. If you own resources over the SSI limit, you may be able to get SSI benefits while trying to sell the resources. Not all of your resources count toward the SSI resource limit. For example: • The home you live in and the land it’s on do not count. • Your personal effects and household goods do not count. • Life insurance policies may not count, depending on their value. • Your car usually does not count. • Burial plots for you and members of your immediate family do not count. • Up to $1,500 in burial funds for you and up to $1,500 in burial funds for your spouse may not count. • If you are blind or have a disability, some items may not count if you plan to use them to work or earn extra income. You may also wish to read our material on “resources” in the booklet, Understanding SSI at www.socialsecurity. gov/ssi/text-understanding-ssi.htm. Question: My 15-year-old sister has been blind since birth. I think she should apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), but my parents think because she’s a minor, they’re responsible for her and

she won’t qualify. Who is right? Answer: To qualify for SSI, an individual must meet certain income and resource limits. Since your sister is a minor, some of your parents’ income and resources will determine whether your sister is eligible for SSI. Once your sister turns 18, their income and resources won’t be considered when deciding her eligibility and payment amount. Tell your parents they can check at any Social Security office to see if your sister qualifies. To learn more, visit our website at www. socialsecurity.gov or call us at 1-800-7721213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

MEDICARE

Question: I’m 65, not ready to retire, but I want to apply for my Medicare coverage. How can I do that? Answer: The easiest and most convenient way is to apply online! Use our online application to sign up for Medicare. It takes less than 10 minutes. In most cases, once your application is submitted electronically, you’re done. There are no forms to sign and usually no documentation is required. Social Security will process your application and contact you if we need more information. Otherwise, you’ll receive your Medicare card in the mail. It’s convenient, quick, and easy. There’s no need to drive to a local Social Security office or wait for an appointment with a Social Security representative. Get started today at www.socialsecurity.gov/medicareonly. Question: I pay my monthly premium directly to my Medicare prescription drug plan provider. Why can’t I also pay my income-related monthly adjustment amount directly to my Medicare prescription drug plan provider? Answer: By law, we must deduct your income-related monthly adjustment amount from your Social Security payments. If the amount you owe is more than your payment, or you don’t get monthly payments, you will get a separate bill from another federal agency, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or the Railroad Retirement Board. Read our publication, Medicare Premiums: Rules for Higher-Income Beneficiaries, for an idea of what you can expect to pay. You’ll find it at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs.

Is retiring later in life good for your health? BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

A recent Wall Street Journal article reported that retiring after age 65 may lead to a longer, healthier life. In the study on which the article was based, workers who retired in good health at age 66 had a 21 percent lower risk of death within 18 years of retirement. Those who retired at age 67 had a 44 percent lower risk, and those who retired at age 72 had a 56 percent lower risk. Even people who retired for health reasons had a lower risk of death compared to those leaving work at 65. Retirement, although often anticipated with excitement, is actually ranked as the 10th most stressful life event (more stressful than the death of a close friend or foreclosure on a mortgage). According to the article, “postponing retirement may delay the natural age-related decline in physical, cognitive and mental functioning, reducing the risk of chronic illness.” It has also been reported that for each additional year of work, the risk of getting dementia is reduced by 3.2 percent. If you’ve already retired (or simply can’t stand the idea of working one more year), here are some ways you can still get the positive affects you would get

from work well after retirement: • Stay socially connected. For many people, the workplace is their main place of social activity. Finding new ways to interact with others is critical. Consider joining a club, starting your own weekly gathering, volunteering or making more of an effort to see friends and family. • Play. You might have found that while at work, you daydreamed about all the things you would do when work finally wasn’t taking up most of your time and energy. Now is the time to tap into all of those non-work interests. Give yourself bonus points if you use leisure activities as a chance to socialize! • Be creative. Creativity can come in many forms, such as art, music, gardening, woodworking, sewing, or cooking. Spend some time each day doing something creative that you have always enjoyed or take the opportunity to learn something new! • Keep learning. Work often provides a majority of a person’s mental stimulation. Some ways to challenge your brain after retirement include playing chess or cards, reading, solving puzzles, teaching or tutoring, or taking a class to learn a new skill.

WORSHIP

JUNE 29, 2016

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

Private prayer is vital Prayer is a vital link between us and God. It connects us. It strengthens us. It directs us. It guides us. It does all this by aligning our hearts with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will for us. Jesus teaches, shows and models for us a Godly way to pray in the Sermon on the Mount. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father in secretâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Matthew 6: 5-6.

There are times for public prayer, like when people intentionally come together to pray in worship, but we always need be mindful not to allow prayers that are meant to be an intimate conversation with God to become a spectacle of religiosity. Jesus encourages less public piety and a greater personal piety, for he knows our tendency to say one thing in public and to do a completely different thing when no one is watching. This is why He encourages private prayer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so that our private prayers may direct our public lives. For when our prayer

is just between ourselves and God, it has a greater chance of molding us into the people He would have us be. Prayer is most powerful when we pour our hearts out to God â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when we take our deepest need or greatest praise to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almighty throne of grace. This is how Jesus teaches us to pray â&#x20AC;&#x201D; less to show the world how religious we are, and more for us to come to know Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will for us by deepening our relationship with him. For it is on this personal connection that our personal relationship hinges.

AMERICA

As we celebrate the Fourth of July with barbecues, fireworks and revelry, it’s important to remember the true meaning of this important holiday. On the birthday of our nation, we celebrate freedom and democracy while saluting the heroic efforts of those who have fought for and defended our liberty since July 4, 1776. We’re proud of our country, our people, our history and our standing as a symbol of hope, freedom and democracy to people around the world. Happy Birthday, America, and may you continue to prosper and stand strong through future challenges, as you have so many times in the past.
