year for the right candidate to fill the position on a permanent basis, Moore said. Interviewed Monday morning in his new surroundings in the administrative office at Siren Schools, Dr. Shetler said, “This is my first day, so I plan to meet with the administrators and see what are their pressing concerns and what academic ideas they have, in relation to the district. “I’ll be finding out about the culture, reviewing what the school’s mission and vision are.” “I met with the finance director

ROCHESTER, Minn.—Debra Lynn Hitchcock-Gale, 54, of Webster, entered an Alford plea of guilty Wednesday, Aug. 5 in Olmsted County District Court in Rochester, Minn., to one charge of financially exploiting a disabled relative from Pine Island, Minn., formerly of Webster. The court found Hitchcock-Gale had defrauded the relative of more than $225,000 in cash and real estate. In an Alford plea, the defendant maintains her innocence but recognizes there may be sufHitchcock-Gale ficient evidence to convict her. According to the Rochester Post-Bulletin newspaper, the Minnesota judge ordered Hitchcock-Gale to attend mediation to determine how much of the $225,000 she will be required to repay. At her Aug. 5 sentencing, Hitchcock-Gale received a stay of adjudication, which means the judge didn’t accept her guilty plea. Instead, the judge put Hitchcock-Gale probation for 20 years. If she successfully completes probation, the offense will not be entered on the defendant’s criminal record, and the charges would be dismissed. Arrest records, however, would still indicate an arrest. The Minnesota judge fined Hitchcock-Gale $585 and prohibited her from contact with any vulnerable adults. She was further ordered not to hold a fiduciary position for any individual or have contact with the victim or his family. The Post Bulletin further reported that in June 2014, employees of Olmsted County Adult Protection were told the relative, who lives in Pine Island and has been diagnosed with “severe Alzheimer’s disease–dementia,” was in need of additional services. When the informant contacted Hitchcock-Gale, who had been appointed attorney-of-fact for the man, she said there was no money left to pay out. According to the complaint, Hitchcock-Gale was made the sole agent in July 2013, shortly after her co-agent, another family member, questioned the way she was spending the money. The family member said Hitchcock-Gale told him he was “putting his nose where it didn’t belong.” From September 2011 to July 23, 2014, when Hitchcock-Gale was arrested, records obtained by law enforcement indicate she made a large number of ATM cash withdrawals at St. Croix Casino in Danbury, and several casinos in Las Vegas. When interviewed, Hitchcock-Gale told law enforcement she used the casino ATMs to draw out money to give to the vulnerable adult. Casino employees, however, said Hitchcock-Gale is frequently seen at the casino and is well-known

Bon voyage Twenty-five years of marriage is nothing to sneeze at and that’s why the wife and I wanted a spectacular destination to match our wedded achievement. Alaska fit the bill perfectly. We purposely saved the Inside Passage for a future trip and concentrated on the other myriad of destinations in the 49th state. Whoever doesn’t think Alaska is huge, take it from me — it’s enormous. We based ourselves in Anchorage for about the first two-thirds of our trip and planned day-trips from there. Day-trips, ha! Had I known then what I know now, I may have planned our days differently. But all the second-guessing in the world can’t take away from the fact we had a wonderful trip. Obviously, we got to know Anchorage pretty well, including the Chugach State Park and its endless supply of hiking areas and numerous viewpoints along the Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet. We also visited Homer, Whittier, Seward and Talkeetna. We usually do a lot of hiking on our summer vacations and while we did some of that this Seems time around, we hit the typical to Me touristy stuff. Like a glacier tour, a Todd Beckmann bear-viewing tour, and a glacier-landing tour on Mount McKinley. All fun stuff. One of the biggest challenges was going to bed while the sun had yet to set — and then getting up and the sun was already out. Makes for some wonderful summer days but I don’t think I’d like to try one of their winters —I read somewhere they get three hours of daylight and around Fairbanks the average daytime high is minus-forty below. One of the easier challenges was taking advantage of the fresh fish everywhere. I didn’t keep track but I’m guessing we sampled at least six chowders — either clam or some other seafood variation. Of course, that suited me just fine. I’m a charter member of the seafood diet — you know the one, see food, eat it. Anyway, we also noshed on scallops, crab legs, shrimp, salmon, and halibut. From Anchorage we trained to Denali National Park. Of course, we had already seen Denali on our glacier-landing tour and good thing because, other than seeing it on the train ride to the park, the mountain was obscured by clouds the entire time. The mountain is only fully visible maybe one day a week so the train guy, when we saw the mountain, said we were now members of the 30 percent club. We enjoyed the park for two days — not nearly enough time. But we promised ourselves to go back and do it right. From there it was another train to Fairbanks — the swan song of our excursion. A word to the wise — avoid the trains in Alaska. They average about 30 miles per hour. Of course, if everyday life moved at 30 MPH, we’d still be on vacation — and it seems to me that wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Yeah, that’s disgusting I hope you have been enjoying our love/hate relationship with late summer weather. When we can visibly notice the days growing shorter and know what will follow, many despair and some savor the heat of late August. As long as I have been alive, with very few exceptions, it seems like we get one last push of heat, usually as school begins, as summer tries to push away fall and winter with one last fevered push. So, I would recommend doing From the whatever you can Publisher’s outside in the last Desk weeks of August. I know that Tom Stangl many don’t like the humidity and the heat, but visualizing the deep freeze of January can help you mentally cool down. The moist and steamy summer has provided us with lush lawns, beautiful flowers and insects of all types. I have seen some strange things this year. We have a large, very old maple tree near our house. In the middle of last week, some fungi began appearing on the tree. The bright yellow growth looked

like someone was using spray foam insulation inside the tree and it was seeping out through openings. It grew rapidly, and began to change color, growing a deeper yellow, then orange. A Google search revealed that the fungus was laetiporus sulphureus, more commonly known as “chicken of the woods.” Yes, chicken of the woods. Why would I make this up? Apparently, it grows on older or diseased trees from August though October. It gets its name from the taste and texture when it is cooked. I’m not a mushroom fan, and I really didn’t like the fact that my trusty maple tree had a parasite. So, on Sunday my wife and I donned some latex gloves, grabbed a kitchen trash bag (13 gallon) and set out to free our tree from this growth. If you read about chicken of the woods, you will find out that it attaches itself broadly to the tree and can have juices run out of it like a faucet. The kind we removed was very juicy, heavy, fleshy and just plain disgusting. It felt like we were pulling large and heavy leeches from the tree. We were able to quickly fill the trash bag, which weighed at least 30 pounds when I hauled it to the trash.

A dead tree on our property has become popular with pileated woodpeckers (thanks again Google). They have been drilling the tree and leaving some impressive holes. The woodpeckers are as big as crows with bright red heads. For a time, they were hollowing out an area for a nest, but have given up on this project. The same tree has also been visited by what I am guessing are ichneumon wasps. They look like large mosquitoes with very long stingers. I’m not sure what they are doing, perhaps laying eggs? I need to cut that tree down. Hopefully, in the wonderful circle of life that is nature, the woodpeckers will eat anything that hatches in the trees. I truly love being in my back yard, but between peeling large parasites that seem to have come from outer space to oversized bugs that also look like aliens, I’ve had my fill of nature. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

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. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion.

Delivering on property tax relief Property taxes remain one of the top issues for Wisconsin homeowners and small businesses, as the annual property tax bill represents a significant expenditure on household checkbooks and entrepreneurs’ balance sheets. While many pay property taxes through an escrow account or monthly savings, unexpected changes in property tax bills often prove challenging for homeowners and small business owners in these times of tight budgets. In response to the concerns I have heard from many area residents over the years, providing property tax relief continues to be one of my top priorities. Prior to the change in control of state government in 2011, the trend of property tax increases was at an unsustainable level for many WisSheila consin residents as property taxes Harsdorf had increased by 27 percent over the prior decade. Particularly for workDistrict 10 ing families, seniors, and others on Senator fixed incomes, property taxes were accounting for greater portions of family budgets and tax increases meant cuts and belt-tightening at home. The impact of continually rising property tax bills meant less money for groceries and clothes, reduced savings, and delayed repairs or improvements. In 2010, after several years of tax increases, the median property tax bill in Wisconsin was $2,963. Had that trend of tax increases continued, the median property tax bill would have risen to over $3,300 in 2016. These increases were unacceptable to me and that is why I have supported reforms that have provided tax relief to property owners. The outcome of these reforms are that property taxes will be reduced

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Appreciating an asset

each of the six years since 2011 due to legislation enacted by the State Legislature. As a result of our efforts to pass property tax relief, the median property tax bill in 2016 is projected to be $2,828. This figure is $135 less than what the median property tax bill was in 2010 and represents real savings for seniors and families that keeps more of your hard-earned money in your pocketbook. Overall, property taxes have fallen by 4.4 percent for a typical Wisconsin homeowner since 2010. Compared to the trendline under the prior administration, property taxes will be approximately $500 less in 2016 than if the expected increases had taken effect, with the cumulative savings over the past six years estimated to be over $1,700. Using another measure, a recent analysis by the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance found that property taxes as a share of personal income has now dropped to 3.6 percent, the lowest level seen since 1946. It is important to note that the effect of local referenda and property improvements also have impacts on actual property tax bills. As the figures above relate to a property taxpayer in the state with a median valued home, individual property owners will see variations depending on local factors and property values. While our work to control spending has been successful in holding down property tax increases, it is important that we continue to promote growth and economic development as a means to broaden the property tax base. Increasing the value of property through a growth and prosperity agenda will not only help increase job opportunities, but will also help in distributing the property tax burden and holding down property taxes. Please feel free to contact me by calling my office at 1-800-862-1092 or 608-266-7745.

The last days of summer

As much as I hate to admit it, it is that time of year. Sunset comes just a little bit earlier every day, the tall grasses are browning off and the sumac leaves are just starting to turn red. We have a few weeks of good weather to look forward to, but the beautiful weather won’t last that long. The end of summer means many things, one of the biggest being back to school for our children. Although I haven’t been out buying notebooks, pens and other school supplies, I am thinking and planning for the fall and winter ahead. As a young child, I put things off as long as I could, especially if the task wasn’t something I really enjoyed doing. I can still hear my mother saying to me, “it would be a lot easier if you did just a little bit every day. The small steps add up fast. Before you know it you’ll have accomplished more than you can imagine.” Good advice, even if I didn’t follow it until later in life. I was reminded of my mother’s words the other day at the Park Falls Area Business of the Year luncheon honoring Northwoods Community Credit Union. Northwoods was started back in 1953 as the Flambeau Paper Employees Credit Union. It operated out of then President Lawrence Draxler’s basement with one part-time employee and $710.50 in assets at the end of its first year. Today, Northwoods has three branches, over 30 employees, $78 million in assets, and almost 8,000 members. For well over 50 years, Northwoods has taken the small steps, serving the needs of its members every day. Along the way, it has become an integral part of the community. In a few days, I’ll be attending another business of the year ceremony in Ashland. Back in 1890 Christopher George Bretting purchased the Parish Manufacturing Company and changed the name to C. G.

It has been brought to my attention that somebody has taken a denim shirt that was left at the Center. We would like to get this back. If you will just return the shirt to the Center and put my name on it, I will see that it gets back to the owner of the shirt. We had the county senior picnic at our center on August 5. We had a good turn out with all the senior centers represented. This gave everyone a chance to visit with other centers. We played 500 after the picnic. Our 500 winners were Phylis Peterson, Steve Wenthe, Marilyn Niles, Arnie Borchert, D’Ann Becker with Dave Peterson winning the 9 bid. Spade winners were Marlyce Borchert, Gerry Vogel, Doug Harlander, Rita Bennett and Clara Palomaki. Rich Hustad and Nona Severson shared the 9 bid. I hope everyone is staying cool on these real hot days. If you don’t have air conditioning, come to the Center. We have air conditioning and things for you to do while staying cool. We have cards, WI bowling, books, puzzles and TV. Summer is going so fast; enjoy the last weeks of summer! Date to remember: August 20, Senior Meeting at 9:30 a.m.

Dear Editor: Your article about the Grantsburg Airport last week was excellent. Thank you very much. There was just one small mistake. The grass runway which is now ready for traffic, having been mowed and smoothed of gopher holes, was not worked on by the village crew, but by the pilots themselves. Grantsburg pilots mow and maintain the lawn at the airport exclusively. The village keeps the tractor they use in running condition. The Grantsburg Village Board is now trying to resolve whether to accept federal money to maintain and upgrade the airport. By accepting this money, Grantsburg will commit to supporting the airport for the life of the funded upgrades. It is important to know that the pilots themselves are very committed to this airport and the airport is a valuable asset that can make Grantsburg a unique destination. They are obviously doing something right because even the governor chose to land at our airport when he flew in last month. I hope we don’t let this gem be lost for lack of vision.

Local family in cancer walk BY HARRIET RICE

WEBSTER—Webster will be represented at this weekend’s Twin Cities Susan G. Koman 3-Day ® 60-mile walk. As one of “Ginny’s Troopers,” Lynn Preston will honor her late mother, Ginny Kalonowsky, who died of breast cancer last October. Preston used to walk, but she had knee surgery two years ago and couldn’t do the walking anymore, so she’s volunteering on the support crew. “I’m actually driving what’s called a “sweep van,” she explained. “I pick up walkers who are either too tired to continue or who are hurt. I also cheer them on as I drive alongside.” Crew volunteers are part of the Support Services Team that does not require any medical training, but does emphasize customer service and people skills. They work under the direction of a coordinator in the event’s Command Center. In Preston’s case, she must have a valid drivers’ license to drive a 15-passenger van. Other family members also participate. “There’s a team of us,” Preston said, listing them: “My mother’s sister, Theresa; my cousin, Stacy; a family friend, Christy;

Uncle Jerry and his wife, Peg, and my son, Gavin.” Last year, Preston said her nephew Owen walked, pushing Ginny in a wheelchair. All except Gavin will be walking. The 10-year-old Webster Middle-schooler is part of the Youth Corps, a select group of young people ages 10-16 who participate as support crew members. This will be his first 3-Day. “He asked my mother if he could walk with her when he was old enough, but she passed away,” said Preston, momentarily overcome by emotion. “He is doing this to honor his grandmother.” Gavin had to fill out an application and go through a telephonic interview. He is one of 20 youth selected out of 200 who applied. Among his duties is helping to set up tents, getting walkers their lunch meals, Gavin (left) and Lynn Preston being a cheerleader and helping with clean-up. Preston expressed hope dwindling,” she commented. “They that her family’s participation will used to do 3-Days in 14 states; now motivate others to sign up in the it’s on done in seven.” The Twin future. “The numbers have been Cities 3-Day started in 2004.

there, the report says. Those transactions, in addition to a number of charges made at various businesses in and around Webster and Danbury, totaled more than $29,000. In July 2013, the man’s home in Webster was sold for $185,000 in a sale handled by Hitchcock-Gale via her employer, Coldwell Banker-Lakeside Realty. According to the complaint, proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the man’s home in Pine Island, Minn. In addition, a check for $41,235 was issued to Hitchcock-Gale, and a check for $13,965 was issued to her husband’s business. When asked about those funds, Hitchcock-Gale said the larger check was for cleaning out the residence because she did all the work

herself, and had to rent garbage bins. The smaller check, she said, was for repair work her husband did on the garage roof. However, financial records prior to July 2013 reveal a $19,000 check was issued by an insurance company for garage repairs. After the expenses were paid, the vulnerable adult received a $51,100 check from the Webster home sale. The check was deposited into his account, the complaint says, but within two weeks, Hitchcock-Gale had written two checks to herself totaling $40,000. The funds were divided between her account and a business account owned by Hitchcock-Gale and her husband. She refused to answer law enforcement’s questions about those checks, the report says. In June 2013, the vulnerable adult’s home in Pine Island was

sold under warranty deed to Hitchcock-Gale for $80,000. It is currently in her name; however, investigators could find no mortgage lien on file to indicate the property has been paid in full. Utilities, property taxes and association fees in her name still were being paid from the man’s funds. The alleged unlawful transactions, including the man’s financial resources and real property, total $226,163.07. Hitchcock-Gale also faces six felony counts of theft in Burnett County, with a pre-hearing set for Oct. 5. The Burnett County criminal complaint alleges she spent more than $24,000 belonging to a developmentally disabled adult.

MADISON – College life poses unique risks of identity theft for students, with tempting credit card offers, shared housing, and countless forms and information that must be provided. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection urges students to study up on ways to minimize the threat of identity theft. “Identity theft can be incredibly damaging to young adults’ credit and tax records, hindering their ability to secure student loans, buy a vehicle, or apply for a job,” said Frank Frassetto, Administrator for the Division of Trade and Consumer Protection. “Students may be unprepared to protect themselves from a steady stream of credit offers, constant requests for personally identifiable information on official forms, or a living situation where many people may be in and out of your room or apartment.”

MADISON—Jerry Vang, 37, of Danbury pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Madison to possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute and to possessing a firearm in furtherance of that crime. Vang was charged with these offenses on April 1, 2015. Vang was arrested on March 30, 2015 in Polk County by federal, state, and local law enforcement officers working as part of an FBI-led Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. Vang was found to be in possession of more than 300 grams of methamphetamine and a loaded Glock .40 caliber pistol. U.S. District Judge James Peterson scheduled sentencing for October 19, 2015. Vang faces a minimum sentence of 10 years to a maximum of life in federal prison. Previously, Troy Cross of Amery, Wis. and Sarah Ricci of Frederic, Wis. were convicted and sentenced to 12 months and 96 months, respectively, for their roles in the same drug organization. The charges against Vang were the result of a joint investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation; Polk, Burnett and Washburn County Sheriffs’ Offices; and the St. Croix Tribal Police Department. The prosecution of this case is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey M. Anderson. From press release.

SIREN: Interim administrator hired for 2015-16 school year; began Monday CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

this morning, to go through some things. We’re dealing with some turnover issues and trying to get positions filled. My next step will be to meet with the administrative group, the principals, to talk about our goals and strategies.” Dr. Shetler was most recently Superintendent of the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau district after serving five years as middle school principal and administrator at River Ridge in Patch Grove, WI. “Those school districts are similar in size to Siren, and I really enjoyed them,” he said. “This area of the state is all new to me. It’s beautiful with all the lakes.” “I’ve gathered from my three visits to Siren and my brief meetings with the staff and school board that this community really supports the school,” he said. Shetler has been hired on a one-year, non-renewable contract, but would consider staying longer if it works out. In January the board will announce the administrator position and start the search for the 2016-17 school year. “We’ll just have to play that by ear,” he said. “It might be just for the school year. I am excited to be here. It’s a fun opportunity to work with a great staff in a student-centered school.” Shetler is father to four children ages 9-15, who live with their mother in Apple River, IL. Shetler received his bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and his master’s degree in education administration from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. In 2006, Shetler received his doctorate in education through Edgewood College in Madison.

Webster to try ‘Tiger Leap Day’ BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

WEBSTER—Webster School District is inviting some students to come to school on Monday, Aug. 31, one day before school officially starts, for a new event called “Tiger Leap Day.” “We’re trying something new this year,” said Webster School Supt. Jim Erickson. “We are inviting students going into grades 5-9 to come one day early, on the last day of August. “We’re going to fill the day with a bunch of activities and do some transition work for the fourth grade kids moving to the grades 5-12 building. We’ll be using the link crew and men-

tors.” Erickson added, “We don’t know how many kids will attend. We’ve never done it before. We don’t know how many parents will send their kids, because it’s voluntary. I have a gut feeling that since the first day of school is Tuesday, it’s not going to be all bad for parents to have their kids come in one day early on Monday. “I’m excited to see how this works,” Erickson continued. “We’re trying as a district to increase our students’ feelings of being connected – not only to the school but to each other. This is one of the first actions on that initiative.” The buses will run regular routes that Monday. The cooks will be present

Polk-Burnett introduces rate restructuring CENTURIA—Approximately 150 members and guests attended Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative’s 77th annual meeting at Unity School in Balsam Lake earlier this summer. The agenda included a financial report from Board Secretary/Treasurer Chuck Brookshaw and a state-of-the-cooperative report by Board President Ed Gullickson and Interim General Manager Steve Stroshane. Both reports highlighted the need for rate restructuring, a plan to gradually lower the KWh energy charge and increase the monthly basic charge. The KWh energy charge pays for the electricity that members use. The basic charge pays for the poles, wires, transformers and other fixed expenses to ensure members have access to power. “Our intent is not to raise rates or generate profit, but to stabilize revenue to cover system costs and allocate rates fairly, so one class of member does not subsidize the other,” said Board President Ed Gullickson. “The current $34 basic charge does not cover actual costs, and members with high energy use are subsidizing fixed expenses by paying more for the energy they use.”

Think twice before cranking up the heat Safety experts generally consider 120 degrees Fahrenheit as the maximum safe temperature for domestic hot water being used for bathing or handwashing. Most healthcare and plumbing professionals recommend not setting your home’s water heater higher than this. This is especially true if you have young children, diabetics or elderly people living in or visiting your house. These individuals often don’t feel pain or discomfort from hot water, even when it is hot enough to severely scald them. Also, they are often not able to move quickly enough even if they do feel the burn. So please, think twice before cranking up the heat on your water heater.

20,023 locations and maintains 3,365 miles of power line,” reported Board Treasurer Chuck Brookshaw. “Fixed costs to build and maintain the system, including 3,365 miles of power lines, are shared equally among all co-op members. Polk-Burnett has just 6.25 members per mile to share fixed costs, while investor-owned utilities in more populated areas spread costs among 11 to 44 consumers per mile. This means the basic charge is higher for rural coop members because costs are shared by fewer people.” Brookshaw reported that Polk-Burnett has not had a rate increase since 2010, and the energy charge was reduced in January 2015. The number of months members pay a higher summer rate for energy was decreased from six months to four months, which also results in savings for co-op members. In addition to a lower energy charge, the co-op returned $800,000 in capital credits to 16,280 members who purchased electricity in 1993 and/or 2011. Capital credits are based on the amount of electricity purchased and are a direct benefit of cooperative membership, said Brookshaw. Brookshaw also reported that kilowatt-hour electricity sales were up 3.5 Financial report percent in 2014 over 2013, mainly due “Polk-Burnett Electric Co- to a cold winter in 2014.

tricity from Dairyland Power Cooperative for distribution to local members. Polk-Burnett reported that the cost of wholesale power will not increase for 2015.

Reliability, future challenges and opportunities Beyond improvements in rates, the co-op has also shown steady improvements in reliability. “The number and length of power outages have decreased significantly since 2004, and the co-op invested $4 million in 2014 to upgrade the electric system,” reported Stroshane. Polk-Burnett constructed or replaced 40 miles of power line in 2014. It also continues to invest in technology to serve members more efficiently, said Stroshane. “An online outage map is available on PolkBurnett.com, where members can access information on smart phones even when the power is out. The co-op also connects with members on Facebook and offers a SmartHub app to track electricity and make payments.” Polk-Burnett also invests in local youth and community. Stroshane reported that $45,000 in scholarships was awarded to the sons and daughters of co-op members in 2014 and again for the Class of 2015. In addition, Polk-Burnett’s Operation Round-Up program awarded $45,145 to 66 local, nonprofit organizations to improve our local quality of life. “Thank you for rounding up your electric bills; your small change makes a big difference,” he said. “Unlike the boom days of the early 2000s, growth across our system remains flat, with very few new electric services,” reported Stroshane. “But the co-op has adjusted. Like you, we have tightened our belts and cut expenses. We are financially solid and ready for the future.”

Free clinic offers medical services

RICE LAKE— As of June, the Rice Lake Area Free Clinic (RLAFC) is now open to patients regardless of county of residence. Previously, the clinic use was restricted to residents of Barron, Rusk and Washburn counties. “The clinic board decided to drop that requirement and open up the clinic to all as we now have the capacity to serve them,” Mike Farrell, clinic director, explained. The clinic has been open since June of 2010 serving those with healthcare needs they were unable to afford. “With more than 150 volunteers we provide physician visits, medications and other services at no cost to the patient,” he

continued. “We can do this through donations, foundation grants and cooperative agreements with our five local hospital systems. “ Farrell says the clinic serves people who either have no health insurance or have out of pocket expenses beyond their means and have a family income of less than 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. “We do provide some medications through our medication room and apply for the Patient Assistance Programs provided by the pharmaceutical companies to get more expensive medications such as insulin for our patients,” Farrell pointed out. “In addition to doctor visits we also

provide lab work, limited xray services, physical therapy, Spanish interpretation, diabetic and diet education and are able to refer out to some limited specialties.” The clinic is located in the Medical Arts Building on the far north end of Main Street in Rice Lake. The entrance is on the ground floor on the lake side of the building. We open every Tuesday evening at 5 p.m. “However, we do not take appointments,” Farrell cautioned. “We generally see our returning patients first and new patients on a first come, first served basis.” For more information, potential patients are encouraged to call (715) 736-3733.

Aspiring Siren artist returns to her roots BY HARRIET RICE

SIREN—Five years after spreading her wings, Siren artist Mackenzie Lynn Swenson, has again returned to her roots. Friday, she’ll share her journey through an exhibition of her paintings, aptly themed and titled Roots & Wings – an Aspiring Artist’s Whirlwind Observations. “There’s something about the connection between how deep your roots are and how far you can fly that I think is really important,” commented the 2010 Siren High School graduate who’s traveled Europe and is now living and studying in New York City. “The more places I go, the farther I go, the more I love to come home, and the more it means to come home. This is where I come from.” In her high school senior year, Swenson was already an award-winning artist. She was accepted to, and studied at, The Atelier, an art school in Minneapolis. “When I finished there in 2014, I wasn’t satisfied with my understanding of what I saw in front of me. I could look at something and do an impressionistic representation of the thing I was seeing, but I wasn’t able to conceptualize.” That summer she attended a workshop at the prestigious Grand Central Atelier in New York City, an experience that motivated her to move there and continue her studies. She explained, “What this school has really taught me — and what I specifically came here to learn — is a much better understanding of form. What does form mean? You’re not just copying what you visually see, you’re creating a sculpture through what you understand the object to be.” One of only 50 full time students, Swenson received scholarships last year and was excited to receive another $5,000 scholarship towards her tuition this year from the school. She expects to finish up in two more years. To supplement her funds, she started waitressing at a casual neighborhood restaurant called Colors. “I love waitressing. I really like working there. I love people. Being in the studio can sometimes be very isolating. I enjoy waitressing as a compliment to school.” Some readers

may remember her days as a barista at The Chattering Squirrel coffee shop in Siren. Life in New York City was quite an adjustment for the small town girl from Wisconsin. She recalled, “The expression ‘ a New York Minute’ is not a joke. Things happen so fast. Once you make up your mind to do something, you move, you just do it – fast, especially if it’s finding a rental [apartment].” She continued, “You’re constantly exposed to extremes. You walk past a panhandler at the side of the road, then past someone wearing high-end designer everything.. You pass extreme wealth and extreme poverty in the same step.” The demographic in NYC is typically young professional, so everyone is always on their phones and in tune with social media and all that’s “trending,” to use a buzzword. “That was something to get used to,” she said. When asked if that wasn’t stressful, she quipped, “I tend to ignore my phone.” She said the students at the school “are a bit of an anomaly because they are older not as technically in tune as most young people, which I find really refreshing. When you’re immersed in a craft so steeped in history, you don’t get as enamored of new technology as the average person. I’m so used to looking at life directly. I don’t enjoy absorbing life experiences through a screen or viewfinder.” In July, Swenson was selected as one of 20 artists to attend what she described at a “three-week painting extravaganza” with the Hudson River Fellowship that models itself after the tradition of the prolific 18th and 19th century American masters who scrupulously studied nature to capture the spirit of landscapes. Swenson specifically emphasized how grateful she is for her family’s support. “One of the things that New York taught me was how much of an illusion self-sufficiency is in that you can do everything you want to support yourself, but you’re still dependent on an infinite number of other people day to day. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants.” She described how her father drove her to NYC in May 2014, then again in December with her brother, to help her

move, “ driving a huge truck down 34th Street — the shopping mecca in Manhattan — on a Monday evening during rush hour. For my shows last year, my Mom was there, doing everything and anything that needed to be done, incredibly supportive,” she said, adding, “There’s no way I could be where I am

without their help and support.” Her Roots and Wings art show is Friday, from 6 – 10 p.m. at the Northwoods Event Center/Tesora in Siren at the signal intersection. The event is free and open to the public. To learn more about Mackenzie, visit www.mackenzieswenson.com.

Ann Packer’s “The Dive From Clausen’s Pier” has long been a favorite, so I turned to her new novel, “The Children’s Crusade” with anticipation. I finished it contemplative and in awe of Packer’s ability to create rich, redemptive characters. Like honey poured from a jar, Packer takes her time detailing the Blair family, a California clan — parents, Dr. Bill Blair, wife Penny, and children Robert, Rebecca, Ryan and James, following the offspring to adulthood. It’s no coincidence that James, the youngest, follows siblings whose names begin with “R.” Markedly different, James is the “black sheep,” continually making choices that alienate him from Penny, and on occasion his brothers and sister. Penny is far from mother of the year. She wears a cloak of bitterness, resenting the time it takes to care for her children when all she wants to do is escape to a shed behind their home to lose herself in her artwork. Bill and Penny are flip sides of a coin. A pediatrician long on compassion, Bill served in the Korean War. Saddened by the horrors he witnessed, Bill returned home to become a pediatrician and direct all of his energy into serving children. Tragically, he chooses a life partner whose self-absorption increases with the years. Penny’s distaste for James is as obvious as Bill’s understanding. Penny didn’t want a fourth child, and James ends up being a handful. As a youngster, he’s in constant motion, rude and impetuous, becoming a brash rule-breaker in adolescence. Through it all Bill maintains his grace, which creates an even greater chasm in his marriage. As Penny retreats from motherhood, she feels Bill never faults James for his behavior. Sections of the book are told from the children’s point of view, finishing up with James as an adult, estranged from his mother and facing a difficult decision, which may involve the sale of the family’s long held estate. The ages-old old dilemma of “nature-nurture” is predominant in “The Children’s Crusade,” the title taken from the siblings’ attempts to discover ways to bring their parents together. By the novel’s conclusion, the evolution of the family’s relationships and the changes brought about by maturity make passing judgment on any of them difficult. This thought-provoking book is yet another testament to Packer’s brilliant storytelling skills. * * * * *

Thriller with a Fascinating Plot The premise for “The Bullet” is reason enough to pick up this thriller, a quick read by Mary Louise Kelly that readers will be inclined to race through. When pretty Caroline Cashion, a 37-year-old university professor, experiences increasing pain from her wrist to her fingers, she finally decides to see a physician. An MRI reveals a shocking abnormality; a bullet is lodged in her neck, near her spinal cord. Flummoxed, Caroline goes to visit her adoptive parents, whom she’s always been close to, hoping for an explanation. The story they share involves a long kept secret. When Caroline was just 3, her birth parents were shot and killed in their home, and the bullet that passed through her mother, struck the child. Doctors at the time advised leaving the bullet in place, as it didn’t seem to be

causing any problems for the girl. Now, however, the foreign object is in danger of moving, pressing on Caroline’s spinal cord and causing paralysis. Shaken to her core, Caroline can’t let go of the past. She goes on a quest, returning to her childhood home in Atlanta to investigate the years-old, unsolved murders and bring the perpetrator to justice. All this, as she faces imminent surgery and becomes emotionally involved with a good-looking doctor she thinks she can trust. As Caroline’s attempts to uncover facts grow more fevered, the author introduces a bevy of questionable characters. Is the neighbor telling the truth about Caroline’s birth mother, did she really have an affair, and what about the mysterious stranger who covered Caroline’s expensive hotel tab? “The Bullet” keeps you guessing, but falls short of credibility as it romps to a conclusion, a fate it shares with the bestselling “Girl on a Train,” previously reviewed in “Novel Ideas.” Both books, however, provide pure escapism, which is just the ticket at times. * * * * *

‘Epitaph,’ A Historical Novel of the Earp Brothers

Much has been written about Wyatt Earp and his brothers, countless titles about the complicated lawman as well as movies and a long-running television program. Mary Doria Russell adds an absorbing work of historical fiction to the wild bunch. “Epitaph” examines the days of ruthless lawlessness in Tombstone and all the Old West has to offer with its good-guy-bad-guy frays, crooked politics and rumors that fed, and led up to, the 30-second massacre known as the gunfight at OK Corral. Russell’s story doesn’t stop there though, it continues past Wyatt Earp’s death at age 82, not calling it quits until his wife, known by those who love her as Sadie, dies from dementia and old age. The novel begins and ends with Sadie, the daughter of a baker, who pines for a life on the stage. Charming and pretty, the headstrong girl leaves her family and lands a spot in a theater company. She ends up in Tombstone, where she meets handsome, but abusive John Harris Behan, who steals her heart. She also befriends Doc Holliday, the subject of Mary Doria Russell’s previous novel, “Doc.” You don’t need to have read “Doc,” to step into “Epitaph’s” saddle. Russell provides enough background material on the tuberculosis-ridden gambler, with an eye for fine arts and fine ladies, to enjoy a smooth ride. While Wyatt Earp is front and center in the novel, his brothers Virgil and Morgan get almost equal time, as well as their women and a host of others, cattle rustlers, competing newspaper editors and saloon owners. The rampant violence of the Old West is shocking, and the OK Corral incident didn’t settle any scores. It just fueled the fire for the outlaws determined to take Wyatt Earp, his brothers and friends down, and lead to a lifelong change in Wyatt, turning him from a lawman, who tried to do good, into a man hell bent on revenge. “Epitaph” offers a unique take on the Old West, and should appeal to male as well as female readers. It’s another fine work by an author who never disappoints, and backs up her books with extensive research. Reprinted with permission, Missourian Publishing Company. Copyright 2015.

Time to enjoy summer BY BILL THORNLEY

WEBB LAKE– Beautiful late summer weather greeted visitors to the annual Webb Lake Area Men’s Club Carnival and BBQ Fest held on Saturday, August 8 at the Webb Lake Fire Hall. Several area restaurants from the Webb Lake Area served great BBQ ribs, while members of the Webb Lake Area Mens Club pealed tasty ears of fresh corn for the meal. Kids at the event enjoyed carnival games and won prizes.

WILD CHOW

Simple ﬁsh gets a French make-over

I was in France for a few days earlier this year. I love just about everything there — friends and food top my list. French culture has been a part of my life since I was teenager when my family had an exchange student from Paris. We have been close ever since, visiting back and forth, including our kids. This trip has been mostly about seeing friends and that comes with simple home cooked French meals. I will remember Wild Chow What are the trips to the markets and cooking like a Lisa Erickson real French woman. France has many things that I cannot find in the U.S.-chocolate yogurt, and tiny crepe cookies, fois gras, and Madeleines. Everyday in different parts of Paris there is a market where vendors and farmers sell fresh picked fruits and vegetables, handmade cheeses, fresh meats, and my favorite, fresh fish. The assortment of fish makes the fish market fun. Yesterday my friend and I went to the market to buy some fish to make trout almandine, my favorite French fish entree. We easily found the trout, but my friend stopped at an ice fi lled bin of big white fish fi llets. She recommended we buy this one instead of the trout because it was fresher. I translated the name of this fish on my phone and learned it was cod. I was disappointed, but I kept my mouth shut. We cooked together and made the easiest fish entree with creamed sweet potatoes and stuffed mushrooms. We served it with French bread. I had learned to cook something new. My friend didn’t have a name for it, so I call it Chorizo poissons cabillaud, which is French for cod. The best compliment I received was, “Lisa, you cook like a French woman!”

Chorizo Poissons Cabillaud 1/2 pound chorizo sausage 1/4 cup butter 4 heaping tablespoons bread crumbs 1/3 cup parmesan cheese 4, 6oz cod fi llets, fresh or frozen

Preheat oven to 375. In a food processor or blender, process the sausage, butter, cheese, and bread crumbs until small crumbs form. Rinse and pat fish dry with a paper towel. Place each fi llet on a rimed baking sheet lined with foil. Top cod with the chorizo crumb mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes until the fish is cooked throughout and the crumb topping is nicely browned. Serve with roasted sweet potatoes and crusty French bread. Bon appetite!

Four Festival actors anchor â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Streetcar Named Desireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ST. CROIX FALLSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;St. Croix Festival Theatre continues its run of Tennesee Williamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic play A Streetcar Named Desire on Thursday, August 20 with a matinee and evening performance, and six additional performances through September 6. Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; play explores the characters of two sisters, Blanche DuBois and Stella Kowlaski, brought up in the privileged tradition of the Deep South and two men, Stellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rough and virile husband, Stanley, and Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Harold Mitchell (Mitch) who is Blancheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last chance at redemption from a life of rejection and loneliness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tennessee Williams gives us four vivid and complicated characters, each trying so hard to find happinessâ&#x20AC;?, says Mark Baer, director of Streetcar, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been my goal to tell each of their stories with equal passion and compassion. Like a jazz quartet, when their stories are played together they call and answer, creating dissonance and harmony. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to play it true for you.â&#x20AC;? The production showcases the talents of four of Festival Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performers: Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Artistic Director Jaclyn Johnson as Blanche, Josiah

Laubenstein as Stanley, Rachel Kuhnle as Stella, and Steven Czajkowski as Mitch. Kimberly Braun will be playing the role of Stella in the September 3 through 6 productions. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portrayal of Blanche is an intimate look into the world of a woman whose life has unraveled through events largely beyond her control. The family home has been lost through a series of what she describes as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;epic fornicationsâ&#x20AC;? of her male ancestors. Married at a young age to a talented and beautiful young man, her dreams are shattered when she discovers his past. As the play opens, we find Blanche on her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doorstep and as the action unfolds, we discover that while Blanche holds herself out as a proper and discreet woman, her history is to the contrary, she has lost her position as a teacher and is penniless. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blanche carries the charm of the southern feminine ideal, but also the fi re of revulsion that Blanche feels toward her sister Stellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of her animalistic husband, Stanley. At the end of act one, Blanche describes Stanley: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He acts like an animal, has an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s habits! Eats like one, moves like one, talks like one!â&#x20AC;?

PUBLIC RELEASE NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH AND BREAKFAST PROGRAMS, SPECIAL MILK PROGRAM RELEASE STATEMENT The School District of Siren today announced its policy for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

Application forms are being sent to all homes with a notice to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households must fill out the application and return it to the school (unless notified at the start of the school year that children are eligible through direct certification). Additional copies are available at the food service office or in the principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by agency or other program officials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. To obtain free or reduced price meals for children in a household where one or more household members receive FoodShare, FDPIR, or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash benefits, list the household member and the FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number, list the names of all school children, sign the application, and return it to the food service office. For the school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meals of households not receiving FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 cash benefits, the household must provide the following information requested on the application: names of all household members and the adult signing the application form must also list the last four digits of his or her Social Security Number or mark the box to the right of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Check if no SSNâ&#x20AC;?. Also, the income received by each household member must be provided by amount and source (wages, welfare, child support, etc.). Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal policy, Deborah Jaskolka, Food Service Director will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent/guardian wishes to make a formal appeal, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to: Mr. Kevin Shetler, District Administrator, 24022 4th Avenue, Siren, WI 54872. If a hearing is needed to appeal the decision, the policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make the household eligible for reduced price meals or free meals, if the household income falls at or below the levels shown above, and they may reapply at that time. Children formally placed in foster care are also eligible for free meal benefits. Foster children may be certified as eligible without a household application. Households with foster children and non-foster children may choose to include the foster child as a household member, as well as any personal income available to the foster child, on the same application that includes their non-foster children. The information provided by the household on the application is confidential. Public Law 103-448 limits the release of student free and reduced price school meal eligibility status to persons directly connected with the administration and enforcement of federal or state educational programs. Consent of the parent/guardian is need for other purposes such as waiver of text book fees. Non-discrimination Statement: The U.S. Department of Agriculture prohibits discrimination against its customers, employees, and applicants for employment on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income is deprived from any public assistance program, or protected genetic information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the Department.

It is this speech, overheard by Stanley, that pits Blanche and Stanley in a mortal struggleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;she to survive in an increasingly hostile world and he to destroy her in order to preserve his marriage to Stella. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance digs deeply into her strong acting repertoire to deliver a heart breaking look at the unraveling of the human spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an unraveling that in some respects reflects the Laubenstein early life of Tennessee Williams himself and his attempts to fi ll the emotional emptiness in his life with casual encounters.

Laubenstein, who has also appeared in previous Festival productions including this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little Shop of Horrors, provides the ideal foil to Johnson in his portrayal of Stanley. Stanley is loud, profane, sexually confident, and violent. From his fi rst entrance, when he throws a package of bloody meat to Stella, we see the primitive man worn proudly. Modeled after Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; abusive father, Stanley represents all that Blanche finds repulsive.

Statewide trout and panﬁsh proposals OK’d

MADISON—Proposals to simplify trout rules, boost panfish populations on roughly 100 lakes statewide and bring consistency to some fishing regulations on Wisconsin waters bordering Minnesota gained approval from the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board. All three initiatives by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources were part of a larger fisheries rules package developed with extensive public input and modified to address the feedback received. The new rules will go into effect prior to the 2016-17 fishing season. Following are highlights.

TROUT Since 2011, the department has held 31 public meetings, conducted three surveys and convened additional task force meetings to develop the trout regulations. The new regulations, designed to protect and enhance fish populations, also create more uniformity for anglers who fish on different trout streams and within small

geographic areas. Under the new system, green means go fish, with no length limit, a bag limit of five fish and no bait restrictions; Yellow means caution, with an eight inch length limit, a bag limit of three fish and no bait restrictions; and red means special regulations are in place. Anglers are advised to stop and understand the regulations before fishing. The new rules also extend the opening of the early catch and release season in waters where it currently exists to the first Saturday in January and runs to the day before the regular fishing opener with no five-day closure period. The fall season extends from the current September 30 to October 15. PANFISH The new panfish rules follow three years of angler surveys, focus groups and more than 30 public meetings. The rules seek to increase the

size of panfish on lakes that show high growth potential but aren’t meeting management goals, likely from heavy harvest. One of three regulations will be applied to 94 lakes and evaluated for biological and social effectiveness. Ultimately the best regulation to address under-performing lakes will be selected and applied to these and other similar lakes. The daily limits on the high potential lakes will take one of the following forms: •25/10. Under this rule, a total of 25 panfish may be kept per day but no more than 10 of any one species. •Spawning season 15/5. Under this rule, a total of 25 panfish may be kept per day except during May and June when a total of 15 panfish may be kept but no more than five of any one species. •15/5. Under this rule, a total of 15 panfish may be kept per day but no more than five of any one species. The rules are set to end in 10 years (2026) unless permanent changes are made.

WILD SIDE Public Wolf Howl Program GR ANTSBURG — Have you ever heard a timber wolf howl in the wild? Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area offers you the opportunity to hear the harmonious howls of the “Crex Pack” while learning how to howl like one! Conduct a wolf howling survey with our conservation educators August 28. Begin at Crex Meadows Visitor Center with a brief slideshow overview of wolf ecology and our changing perceptions of this elusive animal. Then we will carpool to one or more special locations on the property where wild wolves may answer the imitations given by staff. There, we will attempt to get the wolves to howl. Wolves usually answer, but like all wild animals, they are unpredictable and may not respond. This popular evening program is a fun and educational opportunity to listen to the unique calls of the wolf! The program starts at 7:30 p.m. and lasts about two hours. The program is not recommend for children younger than five. Bring insect repellent. Dress for the weather; howling will occur except with lightning or heavy rain. Do not bring pets. Space is limited to 40 participants. For more information and to register, please contact Kristi Pupak, WDNR Wildlife Conservation Educator at 715463-2739 or via email: K ristina.pupak@wis-

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Calling all cat lovers! What’s your pleasure? We have boys, we have girls. We have adults, we have kittens. We have black, we have white. We have tabbies, we have calicoes. We have short-haired, w have longer-haired. we W have calm, we have We r rambunctious. We have p pairs, we have singles. WE HAVE CATS! Because of the recent i ux of felines at our infl s shelter, we are offering a blue light special: $50 e each or two for $75. We need your help in finding homes for all Professor these wonderful cats. Our shelter manager h has become creative in h housing these kitties and w what has once been a cond for one, has become a do c condo for two; what has o once been a dog kennel, h been converted into has a cat kennel (for two). The shelter is FULL a and there is “no room at t inn” for more deservthe Skipper ing kitties until we adopt out the many we have on board now. PLEASE spread the word or stop by to meet the cat of your dreams. Orion is a three-year-old sleek black cat (with a touch of white on his chest). He is a mellow fellow that lets out a very quiet meow when you first make contact (as if to say hello). None of the three pictures available on our website turned out the best because he was preoccupied in the office when he had his turn at spending the afternoon there. Orion is a very nice boy and would love nothing better than to find a home with you! The Skipper and Professor are two gentlemen cats who are some of the lucky ones to share a make-shift dog kennel (with much more room for activities). It’s one of our smaller kennels, so not as easy or comfortable for us humans to get in to visit – but I managed to crawl in there for a two-on-one meet and greet. Both these boys are about 2 ½ years old and larger (12 lbs. or better), but very laid back and very polite. Knowing that they would not both fit into my lap, they took turns. It was really endearing to see. They also groomed each other, which was so sweet. I really hope these two find a home together. I don’t think you’d regret it for a minute! P.S. We DO have a Gilligan and Mary Ann available too. Upcoming Events: Wine Tasting fund-raiser at Clover Meadow Winery, Saturday, August 22, from 1-5 p.m. “Come out to relax, enjoy some wine and help support the animals.” Our annual Walk for the Animals is on Saturday, September 26, starting at 1:30 p.m. Following the short walk will be a “My Dog Can Eat Anything” contest and “Stupid Dog Tricks” contest. Stop by our shelter (when adopting your cat) to purchase raffle tickets for a chance at a beautiful quilt made and donated by Bev Hayes. Coming very soon will be our Danish Kringle fund-raiser (yummy). Sign-up sheet will be available at the shelter. Go to our website for more information on our fund-raisers.

If you are interested in adopting Orion, Skipper, Professor, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at 715-8664096.

Food for the hungry Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the living bread that came down from heaven â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.â&#x20AC;? John 6:51 Eating is a wonderful experience, especially when we are hungry. To sit at a summer picnic with friends is an important part of satisfying the hunger in our hearts. When a person or family lacks food to eat or friends who truly care for them, hunger threatens a full life. We need both good food and dear people to live well.

For some of us with adequate income we forget how basic good eating and caring friends are to life. Following media marketing and popular cultural trends, we fill up our empty hearts with the latest electronic gadgets, cars, trips to balmy places, colorful clothes or cabins by a lake. All of these satisfy our longings superficially. As we grow older, our material stuff loses its power to sustain life. If your life is running on empty, consider the promise Jesus Christ offers us.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the living bread (who) came down (to you) from (the love of God in) heaven to give you a new way of life.â&#x20AC;? The true bread that Jesus gives you â&#x20AC;&#x153;is my flesh.â&#x20AC;? Jesus is here for you. Come and eat at the table with Jesus.
