Yes to new shop BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—Consensus. It is one of the building blocks when considering the construction of a multi-million dollar facility — whether it is a hospital or a fire hall. In this case, it is a combination highway department/forestry department shop on the site of the existing highway shop on Highway 70 just west of Siren. The fact that the shop is 50-plus years old goes a long way in establishing the need for a new building, as do the pictures of inefficiencies of the current shop. But perhaps more telling is the $866,000 band aid which would be required to fix all the problems if the county were not to construct a new shop. SEE SHOP, PAGE 7

WEBSTER—“An amazing transformation.” In a phrase, it’s how Steve Austin, co-owner of Devils Lake Resort, refers to the revamped Devils Lake Campground north of Webster. “We are excited about being on this property,” he added. Eric Kramer and Mark Wallskog are partners with Austin in this venture. “I knew Jeff Bump and after he passed, I spoke to his widow Connie and said if she ever wanted to sell, to talk with us first,” he explained. “She said ‘Let’s talk.’” Over a cup of coffee an agreement was reached. “We bought the place in Decem-

Scams I kind of have a love/hate relationship with scams. Part of me says that if people are gullible enough to fall for whatever schtick scammers are selling, they deserve what they get. On the other hand, I hear about an 80 yearold woman who got bilked out of $10,000 and my heart bleeds. I guess the people who scam others have learned their lesson — prey on the older people, they are easier to fool. We used to live in the upstairs of a duplex and our downstairs neighbor Ben had a house full of authentic crap because he couldn’t say “No” when it came to salespeople on the phone. I don’t think fortunate is the optimal word here, but fortunately he passed before phone scams became all the rage they are nowadays. Seriously, it seems like I get a call every other week, if not every week, from concerned readers about the newest way criminals have discovered to lighten the load, money-wise, of our friends and neighbors. And why call the paper? They want it spelled out in black-and-white to never give any of your personal information — that means social security numbers, bank account numSeems bers, birth date, any of that kind to Me of information — away to people. That unless you initiated a Todd Beckmann transaction requiring said information, no one should be calling asking for this information. Banks, utility companies and others have spent countless thousands of dollars trying to assure customers that doing business by phone is not standard operating procedure. For example, you may get a call from the electric company demanding payment or your service will be terminated. As hard as it would be not to panic in that situation and fork over your credit card number, the electric company assures me they don’t work that way. Their advice? Get the name and number of the person you are talking with and tell them you’ll call back. This course of action will, A). allow you to think about the decision you were asked to make, B). take away the immediacy of the problem, and C). allow you to contact the institution which claims to have called you in the first place, and get the whole story. But I have devised a way to stop it from ever getting to that point. When the phone rings and if I choose to answer, if it is someone I don’t recognize or there is that pregnant pause while their computer catches up to the automated dialing, I simply say “No, thanks” and hang up. There are times I just won’t answer the phone because I don’t want to deal with whatever scam they are trying to sell. And just how much business is transacted through cold calls anyway? I’m not going to buy a trampoline just because Joe Blow called and offered me a good deal — but if Ben were still alive, maybe I could give them his number.

Word count Who talks more, men or women? A few years ago, researchers at the University of Texas in Austin set out to answer that question. Yes, I know you all have been anxiously awaiting the answer to this question, backed up with solid, scientific evidence. Your prayers have been answered. After recording From the the daily converPublisher’s sations of 400 university students Desk in the United States and Mexico Tom Stangl over several days, researchers discovered that females spoke about 16,215 words each day, and males uttered an average of 15,669 words, which was considered a statistical dead heat. Sleep easy, America. It’s all been sorted out, all scientific and everything. Can you imagine having to listen to the conversations of 400 college students and having to count the words? Talk about needing caffeine! The experts were hoping to debunk the long held belief that, according to the researchers women are “chatterboxes” and “that they love talking much more than men.” Participants in the study wore a recorder that automatically clicked on every 12 minutes to record what-
ever was being said — or not said — for the next 30 seconds. The 19to 25-year-olds in the study wore the voice recorders for several days each. Researchers at Yale report “ample evidence that gossip is just as popular a topic of conversation (if not more so) among men as it is among women.” The Yale researchers feel that stereotypes about women talking more come from women talking more about relationships. Studies, according to the folks at Yale, suggest that during emotional conflict, guys get quiet and women talk more. Even though the tendency of males to “clam up” in these private disputes doesn’t carry over to other social contexts, people may generalize that men are withdrawn by nature. One of the biggest complaints in heterosexual relationships that women have is the ‘unforthcomingness’ of their male partners, according to researchers. But if a topic arises in an argument that men want to talk about, men will become more verbal. So, what do men talk about that would bring their total number of words to equal the amount of talking that women engage in? Researchers found that subject matter was key. Thank you, Captain Obvious.

versity, says “Just get guys talking about sports or finance or lawnmowers — then you’ve got another category of chatterboxes.” At the risk of sounding like an episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond,” studies like this do precious little to advance understanding between the genders. Men and women are different. It’s a fact of nature. The growing use of words by men is an effort, in my opinion, to simply find a way to coexist and adapt to their changing environment. There’s a reason researchers used college students. If a study like this were conducted with people my age, I think the results would be different. If you studied people of my parents’ generation, the results would be VERY different. If this study was meant to dispel the stereotype of women being “chatterboxes,” I believe it has done so. Having said that, could we move on to something more important, like curing cancer, or will we be forced to endure studies about who replaces the toilet paper and which way the paper comes off of the roll? 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. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.

Republicans put the ball in wrong basket In a short two week period, the Republican-led Senate has made it clear who and what their priorities are. And the sad part is that you are not on their list. Last week it was the 2015-2017 State Budget. This week it was a bill that spends over 400 million dollars of taxpayer money to build a new basketball arena in Milwaukee. As many of you know, the new state budget cuts 250 million dollars from the University of Wisconsin System, and sends even less money to our public schools than they got in 2010. It delays vital highway projects and continues to underfund maintenance of our existing roads and bridges. Yet somehow, just a week later, we authorize spending 400 million dollars to build a new stadium for the Milwaukee Bucks. How do I tell the parents of children in Northern Wisconsin that we didn’t have enough money to help their local schools, but we did have enough money to help out the billionaire owners of a professional basketball team? How do I explain to parents struggling to pay their sons’ and daughters’ tuition that we’re laying off faculty and staff at UW Barron County, but we’re helping pay the salaries of professional basketball players? How do I tell
small business owners in rural Northern Wisconsin that we have to postpone major highway projects and road maintenance, delays that will make it harder for their businesses to succeed, but we’re rushing to break ground on a new sports and entertainment complex in Southeast Wisconsin? How we spend our money is the Janet clearest expression of what our Bewley values are. No matter what the District 25 people who voted Senator for either of these bills say, they are putting the profits of a professional basketball team above the education of our children. They are putting skyboxes ahead of classrooms, professional athletes ahead of local business owners. Our priorities, as evidenced by the 2015-2017 Budget and the Bucks Arena Bill, are out of whack. I didn’t vote for either of these bills. I tried to convince my colleagues that there was a better way. I’m not giving up. I’m going to continue to fight for the things that I know you care
about. What I hear over and over is that we need to invest in Northern Wisconsin. One way we can do that is to change state law to allow small and medium sized cities to use the same tools that enabled Milwaukee to fund and develop their sports and entertainment arena facilities. I am introducing legislation that would make the exposition district concept that underlies the new Bucks Arena a viable option for cities other than Milwaukee. My bill will allow communities to invest in projects that are appropriate for their circumstances, on a scale that makes sense for them. Any proposed bonding will have to be approved using proven standards based on projected revenue and an assessment of the feasibility of the proposed project. Voters in the municipality will have to approve the proposed project via a referendum. I believe it is time to give locally elected officials the tools they need to spur economic development in their communities. Hopefully my colleagues will be true to their word and support economic development that benefits the whole state, not just professional sports teams and real estate developers in Milwaukee.
STROLL THROUGH THE PAST By Eunice Kanne
In Grantsburg’s early days, the main thoroughfare was Oak Street running north and south. It contained a bank, newspaper office, hotels, courthouse, stores, restaurant, saloon, drug store and other businesses. Some of these buildings still standing (1994) are Levi Anderson building, once the post office and now converted to
an apartment house (Oak and Burnett); the Norwegian Methodist Church, now a museum; and Rice’s hotel, once the Sever Jensen residence, now an apartment house at Wisconsin and Oak.

BUMP’S: Owners add new bar/restaurant to resort CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
ing in April,” Austin continued. The county was on board with the changes and, more importantly, so was the Town of Oakland. “There was no push back there at all,” Austin said when it came time for the public hearing on the changes. The changes including expanding the campground to 75 sites on 53 acres, up from the current 40-some sites plus they wanted to build a new Bump’s Bar on a lakeside lot which was formerly populated with trees. “They unanimously approved it — I was stunned,” he added. But as it happens more often than not, plans went awry. After ripping up the floor and gutting the entire bar, with thoughts of simply remodeling, it was discovered the floor under the bar had some structural problems so it was back to the proverbial drawing board. “In a way, I think it was a blessing,” he reasoned. So that’s how Bump’s Lakeside came into being. Austin refers to it as one of the newest bars, if not the newest, in the whole of Burnett County. “Once our kitchen is open we will have hot sandwiches, soups, salads and pizza,” Austin noted. “There’s got to be other bar food than a cheeseburger and fries.” Austin is like a kid in a candy store with ideas on how to improve the resort. “We’d like to turn the old bar into a game room for campers — there’s a host of ideas we are considering,” he said. “We want to turn this place into a resort — not just a bar and campground.” As owner of the Oak Ridge Inn in Webb Lake where the area men’s club conducts an annual ice fishing tournament, Austin sees that same

WEBSTER SENIORS potential for Bump’s Lakeside. “This is clearly a bigger ice fishing lake than Webb Lake — the fish quality is considered abundant for walleye,” he pointed out. “If there’s a clear opportunity, I could see that happening here.” He said the location is superb. “We are three miles out of Webster, there’s a great little golf course next door, the roads are open to ATVs, and the snowmobile trail passes right by our door,” Austin noted. “People will be able to come here and do what they want — fish, swim, golf, ATV — whatever.” Being a lake property owner himself, he’s not going to sponsor events which might irritate his new neighbors. “I get it,” he said of weekend parties ruining the solitude for all. “We are thinking of having low-key entertainment like a one-person band just once in a while — I want to be a good neighbor.” Even though a grand opening celebration occurred last weekend, Austin is the first to admit the whole resort is a work in progress.
“The bar has a wonderful view of the lake, 300-feet of lake shore frontage, we have some dock space and we still need to finish the landscaping — but it’ll get there,” he reported. “We didn’t start building until the middle of May.” Speaking of builders, the owners chose right. “Dave Cloutier was our builder — he did a tremendous job,” Austin praised. “We didn’t even have plans for the inside — we just tuned him loose.” The result alone is worth the drive. “I said ‘Dave, here’s the deal, if it’s terrible I’m going to tell everyone you did it and if it’s great I’m going to tell everyone you did it, so good luck.” To this point people have been stopping by just because they see some work in progress. “Hopefully the rest of the lake discovers us and like what they see,” Austin concluded.

Celebrating community GRANTSBURG—A chance to get outdoors, visit with friends and neighbors and leave the cooking to someone else is in store when Grantsburg takes part in the National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 4 at the Grantsburg Fire Hall from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. According to Joel Klatt, the Grantsburg police officer and fireman who helped organize the local event, National Night Out is an event designed to strengthen community spirit and to promote awareness. This will be Grantsburg’s first time hosting an event as part of the national movement. “It’s a chance to meet police officers, ambulance drivers or firemen in a positive situation,” Klatt explained.
That’s a big part of the evening. “I’ve been in Grantsburg for eight years but people still ask me all the time if I’m the new guy,” he said with a laugh. “‘No,’ I tell them, I’m the night guy.’” “If you never get in trouble or are new to town, you might not know Jeff (Schinzing) and Dan (Wald),” Klatt added. “Same goes for firemen and ambulance personnel.” Klatt even double-checked with the Siren organizers to be sure Grantsburg wouldn’t be “stepping on their toes” by hosting its own event. “There’s a free cookout, informational booths from a number of organizations plus members of law enforcement, emergency services and firemen are there as well,” Klatt described. “The DNR will be
there with their heavy equipment, the conservation warden will be there and even the Marine Corps will be there.” That’s an unusual piece for the yearly event. “We wanted the National Guard but they had other plans for that day and that’s when a Marine Corps veteran in our fire department made a few calls for us,” he pointed out. “They said they’d be glad to come — they want to show off all their stuff.” And speaking of showing off, that’s why the event is at the new fire hall.
“We’ll be giving rides in fire engines and squad cars to the kids as well as other activities,” Klatt continued. Whether or not they partake in Tuesday’s festivities, residents are asked to turn on their porch light in support of National Night Out. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel.
SHOP: Options whittled to two That was the scenario the Burnett County Board of Supervisors faced when they met on Thursday. “Does anyone see a reason not to do something?” Don Taylor, board chairman, asked after Jon Wallenkamp, planner with Kueny Architects and Nate Ehalt, county administrator, gave a brief presentation. His question was met with a roomful of silence. With that the supervisors voted unanimously to pursue two options with the architectural firm. Option 1: A 69,000 square foot structure capable of housing 29 large vehicles, 22 smaller vehicles and the building would include some secure impound area for the sheriff’s department. The price tag is listed at just over $5 million. Option 2: A 50,000 square foot structure capable of housing 18 large vehicles, six smaller vehicles but there would be no room for an impound area for the sheriff’s department. Some of the fleet vehicles would need to be stored under a lean-to on the building’s west side. Plus, an additional 8,400 square foot building would have to be constructed to house all the current equipment. The price tag for the facility alone is $4.3 million but by adding the extra building, it brings the total to $4.9 million. To say there was some sticker shock would be an understatement. “I had thought $5 to $6 million was too much,” member Jeremy Gronski pointed out. “But there isn’t a cheaper option that was palatable.” Gronski was on the sub-committee looking at all 12 plans developed by Kueny Architects. “It’s not thrilling when I look at what this will do to my taxes or our constitu-
ents taxes,” member Emmett Byrne remarked. “But either we pay now or we pay later — and it’s going to cost more if we wait until later.” That train of thought led to how the whole project will be financed. “I don’t like the idea of passing debt on to my kids —I like paying things off now,” member Maury Miller observed. Fellow member Chris Sybers worked out some numbers based on cost estimates developed by Kueny. “If we borrowed $5.25 Brent Blomberg million at 3.75 percent interest for 20 years, we are looking at $15 in extra taxes for a homeowner with a $100,000 home,” he stated. “I think that would be the way to go — the littlest backlash for the public.” But the talk of financing is getting ahead of the game. The project was sent back to the infrastructure committee with the goal of fleshing out the two options and making a recommendation to the county’s administration committee.

Spreading the wealth
NEWSLINE
BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—Rather than promote itself, Burnett County is prepared to offer up to $15,000 to various organizations in the form of a grant-process in order to market their events. “We see this as a more efficient way to spend our tourism dollars,” Mike Kornmann, community development agent, told members of the natural resources committee last week. “Plus, it makes the whole process easier.” He said people don’t make a decision to visit Burnett, Washburn or Sawyer county but instead decide to visit Siren, Spooner or Hayward. “Those cities already do a good job of promoting themselves so we figured we Mike Kornmann didn’t need to duplicate their efforts,” Kornmann continued. To that end, he was proposing a share of the dollars Burnett County spends on tourism be devoted to other groups which are trying to bring visitors into the area. “The grant process would allow for some accountability,” he added. The proposal was deemed worthy by committee members. “I think it’s a good idea,” Larry Main offered. “We could even have organizations who submit a grant proposal match some of the funds they are requesting so we aren’t just giving away money.” Ed Peterson, committee chair, liked the sound of that. “If groups have a little ‘skin’ in the process, they are more likely to take it seriously,” he reasoned. Kornmann said a grant committee made up of members outside the natural resources committee could review grant applicants and award funds. “We wouldn’t necessarily have to give away the entire $15,000 each year,” he explained. “What remains could be rolled over to the following year if we wanted to fund a bigger project.” The proposal will now move forward as part of the 2016 county budget process.
In other business: • “Thanks to Mother Nature, we have already hit our estimates in timber sales revenue for the year ($880,000),” Jake Nichols, forestry administrator, remarked. “It’s been so wet that even the pine is selling.” With another bid opening in October, Nichols is predicting another good year. “I could see us close to the million dollar mark by the end of the year,” he said. • An update to the county’s ATV/UTV ordinance to outlaw drivers under the age of 16 on county roads may be in the offing. “The other weekend an 11 year-old was driving an ATV when a group stopped at my store,” Main pointed out. “Kids under 16 shouldn’t be driving those machines — that’s why the state won’t issue a drivers license until you’re 16.” Even though the county is a magnet for ATV/UTV rider, he sees it as an accident waiting to happen. “I bet I see 100 underage drivers every weekend in the summer,” he concluded.

Robbery suspect sentenced MADISON—Jesse Sweeter, 20, Rice Lake, Wis., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge James Peterson to 114 months in federal prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release, for the robbery of two banks. Sweeter was also ordered to pay $9,242 in restitution. Sweeter pleaded guilty to these charges on April 28, 2015. On May 2, 2014, Shell Lake State Bank in Stone Lake was robbed by two armed gunman.

Sweeter’s sentence consists of 30 months for the bank robberies and a consecutive seven years for brandishing a firearm during the Sterling Bank robbery. Additionally, the 30-month federal sentence will run concurrently to a 3 1⁄2 year sentence Sweeter is serving in state prison after being convicted of robbing a gas station in Eau Claire.

Be on the lookout for Wild Parsnip Wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is an invasive plant that is becoming more and more established in Burnett, Polk, Barron, Washburn and Sawyer Counties. It is commonly found in roadsides and other open grasslands, such as non-managed pastures and hayfields. Once established it can spread rapidly and can invade prairies, and undisturbed grasslands. What makes this plant especially troublesome is that when the sap from the plant comes in contact with bare skin that is then exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sunlight, it can cause blistering burns. This reaction, known as phytophotodermatitis, can be quite painful and the blisters are often confused with poison ivy rash. Fortunately parsnip blisters do not spread; the reaction occurs only where

Sabrina is an 11-week-old 11 week old fur-ball fur ball of energy! For those baby boomers, she reminds me of the Tasmanian Devil cartoon character on TV. Sabrina was in the large condo in the office when I fi rst met her. She bounced around from one level to the next and then ran in circles on her bed. When Sabrina was let out to play and explore in the office, she was a blur running from one end to the next – sliding under the desk when she tried to stop. She has no fear and quickly approached Marley (our volunteer’s big dog), playfully jumping at his wagging tail and then hissing a bit when he made eye contact with her (just to show him who was Spencer boss). It was truly comical to watch this little gal’s antics. If you are looking for a kitten that is full of spunk and attitude, Sabrina is the one! Now let’s go to the other extreme … to our calm, cool cat named Spencer. This guy is not only very handsome, he is a gentle soul; a very mellow fellow. Spencer loves people and loves nothing better than getting a good petting. When in the office, he is our official visitor greeter. When in his condo in the kennel area, he is the fi rst one to jump down from his hammock when you open his door. Because of Spencer’s easy-going personality, he will be coming with me to the Gandy Dancer Fly In/Drive In at the Siren airport – as the shelter’s featured animal. Of course, by the time you read this article, we’ve been there done that. I give Spencer two paws up and hope he finds himself a loving home very soon. Start planning now for our upcoming Walk for

Siren students bring home gold SIREN—Emily Stiemann and Rylee O’Brien, two students from the Siren Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Club, competed in STAR Events while attending the national conference in Washington D.C, in July and they both received gold medals for their respective categories. Emily competed in Fashion Construction, and she made a stylish red dress. Rylee competed in Recycle and Redesign, and she made a Siren Dragons bag out of old Siren Dragons apparel. In addition to the competition, Emily and Rylee, along with their advisor, Heather O’Brien, saw many sights while in Washington, D.C. They toured the Holocaust Museum, the Smithsonian Museums, and many Memorials. They also visited Georgetown University and Georgetown Cupcakes. While in D.C. they were able to meet with Wisconsin State Senator Tammy Baldwin. Emily personally spoke to Senator Baldwin about FCCLA and how important it is to her. Meeting Senator Baldwin was surely a highlight of the trip, but they also enjoyed meeting other FCCLA members and being immersed in our Nation’s history. Both of them taking home gold medals was the best way to end their amazing trip.

Margaret Connor
Alice Lillian Doriott
Gene C. Knutson
Margaret passed on at age 98 on February 17, 2015, at Countryside Acres near Connors Lake. She was the last survivor of her family out of 13 children of Frank Connor and Maggie (Hart) Connor who both passed away in 1944. Her parents were both enrolled members of the Saint Croix band. Margaret was also an enrolled member with the Saint Croix Band. She was born on January 17, 1917. A memorial service was held March 1. 2015 at S Swedberg-Taylor Funeral H Home in Webster with P Pastor Doug Olson o ciating. The cremated offi r remains of Margaret Louise C Connor will be placed in t their final resting spot in a burial service starting a 1 p.m., August 8, 2015 at at O Orange Cemetery, Webster, W Wisconsin. All friends and f family are invited to attend. F Following the ceremony, a gathering will be held at Margaret’s former home at Connors Lake. Food and refreshments will be provided. Margaret was born in her parents’ house off of Mud Lake, near Connors Lake. She attended Orange School through 8th grade and later attended high school in Webster staying in the Magnuson House during the winters with her brothers Franklin and Henry, who also were attending high school. She graduated in 1935.After graduation, Margaret stayed in Webster, employed in various jobs, such as the Boys Camp and Black and Orange Bar. She also did seasonal work near Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, working at the bean cannery. In 1937, her parents ended their livelihood in farming and moved to Connors Lake. During the winter months, her parents would rent a house in town. In 1943, Margaret moved to Portland, Oregon, working in the shipyards for two years. From there, she moved to Skagway, Alaska, and worked for four years at a tuberculosis hospital. She then worked in KnakKnak, Alaska, cooking at the Alaska Native Hospital. Margaret then moved back to Portland again working at Chase Bags, and in 1967 was employed by Boeing in Seattle, Washington. In 1970, she returned home after a huge layoff at Boeing. Margaret acquired the Connors Lake homestead from her sister-in-law, Henry’s wife, Charlotte. In 1978, her sister, Rebecca, retired from teaching and moved in with Margaret after the house was remodeled making it livable year round. Following Rebecca’s death in 1991, Margaret continued to live at Connors Lake independently up until the last two years of her life. Those that knew Margaret knew she loved cats. Margaret was always on the go – either traipsing around northwest Wisconsin and the Twin Cities visiting relatives, or flying to California to visit other relatives. Henry’s children would often visit Margaret and Rebecca during their summer vacations. Margaret loved flower gardening. She loved to spend as much time outside as possible, Crex Meadows Wildlife Area, was one of her favorite places to go. She was also a voracious reader and read many types of books. Every day she read the Saint Paul newspaper. Margaret also enjoyed the many visits from her younger relatives, often spending evenings around the campfire telling stories. Margaret often spoke how difficult things were for her family and everyone during the Great Depression of the 1930s; she also shared how her family remained proud of who they were and their accomplishments. Some interesting facts about her include: she hated housework; her favorite color was green; despite living on a lake, she didn’t like eating fish. She was baptized and raised in the Congregational Church. Despite, traveling to many locations west of Webster, she never went farther east than Chicago. Every morning she enjoyed Earl Grey tea, along with toast with jelly for her breakfast. Throughout her life, Margaret was a strong, independent woman. She was a hard worker and cherished her time with friends and relatives. In Margaret’s last years, she lost sight in one eye and was hard of hearing. However, that never stopped her from living life to its fullest and she was grateful for each new day. Besides her parents, those preceding her in death include her sisters Grace Gabaldon; Jessie Smith; Rebecca Smith; Dolly Radke; Georgia Dorriott; Beryl Connor; Mae Connor and Frances Connor; her brothers were Andrew Connor; Henry Connor; Benjamin Connor and Franklin Connor. Although, she never married nor had any children, Margaret was like an Auntie to many relatives throughout her life, providing needed care for her siblings’ families. But to her siblings’ children, she was always “Aunt Margaret.” Online condolences can be made at www.swedbergtaylor.com

Learning hoops from one of the best BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—Learning the game of basketball from a former NBA All-Star and gold-medal winning member of the 1992 Olympic Dream Team is on tap when the Christian Laettner Basketball Academy comes to Grantsburg Nov. 13-15. If you’re one of the three people on the planet who doesn’t know who he is, Christian Laettner may best be known for the turn-around jumper which beat Kentucky as time expired in overtime of a regional final of the 1992 NCAA basketball tournament. That win got the Duke Blue Devils into the Final Four, where they went on to repeat as national champions. He started the Christian Laettner Basketball Academy in 2010. “I wanted to start the academy because basketball is my passion and I love to coach, it’s in my blood — I think I have some good things to offer today’s young players,” Laettner reported. “My dad was a coach and some of the people I look up to the most in life are coaches.” When it comes to his camps, Laettner said he tries to get the kids to listen to him and follow simple instructions. “If they do those things, they can get better at the game of basketball,” he said simply. “That’s because there are some very fundamental skills I try to harp on during each camp.” One of the biggest skills is passing the ball. “I teach kids to catch the ball with two hands and pass the ball with two hands,” Laettner noted. In addition to passing and catching, he said dribbling the ball and lay-ups are critical skills that a young basketball player has to get great at. “We do a lot of fundamental work — a lot of the basics,” he noted. “Ultimately, we want to work up to playing five-on-five without dribbling so much.” Why? “Because when kids start playing basketball and they get the ball, they want to dribble right away,” Laettner remarked. “Kids need to learn to look to pass first — that’s a big concept I try to harp on all the time.” The Laettner weekend in November includes basketball camps for players in first grade all the way through high school.
Christian Laettner
“There’s always a difference in working with younger kids compared to older kids,” he pointed out. “You need to keep the practice simple for the younger kids and get them better at the four fundamental skills of passing, catching, dribbling and lay-ups.” As the players get older, the camps can begin to work on higher level skills like five-on-five with no dribbles so the kids have to learn to pass, to cut and to move around the court without the ball.
He also wants it to be a learning experience for the coaches. “I like for the coaches to see what I’m teaching the kids and to see how I coach the kids,” Laettner expressed. The take-away from the Laettner weekend is simple. “Hopefully, they remember all the stuff I’ll be teaching them,” he said with a laugh. “But seriously, I want what I do at my basketball camp to reinforce what the coach is teaching his players.” Pirate coach Nick Hallberg said having someone like Christian come in to run a camp had never crossed his mind but the two met at a brunch in Minneapolis in March, one thing led to another and the Laettner weekend was scheduled. “I have to admit, I was a Christian Laettner fan growing up,” the coach said. “I am obviously excited about the opportunity to get him here — he is looked at by many as the best college basketball player to ever play the game.” Hallberg said in talking with him, he can tell Christian is very humble and wants to give back to the game. “I am hoping his knowledge of the game will be something our kids in Grantsburg, and kids all over the area, can take advantage of when he comes in November,” Hallberg exclaimed. “It comes down to finding ways to make our program better and ways to get the community, the parents, and our players excited about the game and Grantsburg basketball — my hope is that Christian Laettner provides that for us.” If you look at his website, you’ll see he’s in Wisconsin for a number of camps this year. The “Why” is simple. “I like to do my camps in Wisconsin and Minnesota — anywhere where they have muskies,” he said with a smile. “That way, when I’m not on the court, I can do a little muskie fishing.” He said he sees a good reaction from the players even if they don’t know who he is. “Their parents might tell them who I am or show them footage of my playing days from You Tube — they get a sense for who I am,” Laettner explained. He admits his celebrity has worn a little. “I think it would be better if I was a current NBA SEE LAETTNER PAGE 16

The Affordable Care Act and employer coverage
BENEFICIALLY SPEAKING By Connie Crosby
If you have medication in your home that you won’t be using you may bring it to the Burnett County Government Center for disposal. There is a red canister in the West entrance by the sheriff’s department to pour unused pills. If you have inhalers you can bring them into the sheriff’s department. Some medications such as unopened diabetic or cancer medications can be brought to the Marshfield Clinic Pharmacy in Rice Lake as long as they are unexpired and have been kept at the correct temperature range as stated on the medication. It is great for someone else to benefit from some of these expensive medications rather than just disposing of them. You may call the Marshfield Clinic Pharmacy at 715-236-8103 for more information about the program to donate some of these unopened medications. Are You Retiring? If you are retiring, and are not 65 yet, you will want to check out your health care options. Some people may have continued coverage through their employer, some employers may offer people an option to purchase COBRA coverage, and other’s may want to contact the Affordable Health Care Market Place to see about their options and possible subsidies that may help them pay for coverage. Are you turning 65 in the near future? If so, you may want to set up an appointment with your Elderly Benefit Specialist to find out about your health care options. There are many different health care options and one size does not fit all. You need to think about and understand all of the options you have and the difference between different types of coverage. There are guarantee options that you have when you are turning 65 that you may not have later on unless you a life changing event such as moving out of the area. Not planning for your medical and prescription drug needs can be costly, not only now, but in the future. Are you in a Medicare Advantage Plan? If so, please remember that you generally need to see network providers in order for your plan to work. This includes all of your providers not just your primary care providers. It can mean durable medical equipment providers, your pharmacy and even nursing homes. Some services need to be prior authorized. If you have been in the hospital, and need to go into a nursing home, you need to be sure that the nursing home you are going to accepts your coverage and that you meet the requirements of the plan to pay for your care. You may also want to find out how the services you receive while you are in the nursing home may be paid such as therapy, medications, etc. Remember, plans vary.

BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
The employer mandate is a provision in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires employers to provide health insurance for their employees. The mandate has been postponed and enacted piecemeal over the years, but it is currently in effect for businesses with over 50 employees. The mandate also put into place what is known as the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). SHOP is the Health Insurance Marketplace but for employers who employ 50 or less full-time equivalent employees. Employers use SHOP to browse and apply for policies for their employees. For employers The employer mandate, as of 2015, requires employers to pay an “employer shared responsibility payment” if they have more than 50 full-time equivalent employees and do not offer employer health insurance that is affordable and provides “minimum value.” The employer may have to pay this penalty if the employer does not offer
a plan that is under 9.56 percent of an employee’s individual household income or if the plan does not cover at least 60 percent of the total allowed cost of benefits that are expected to be incurred under the plan (minimum value). This mandate for employers with 50 or more full-time employees is accompanied by additional tax reporting and filing requirements. Employers with fewer than 50 full-time employees may offer health insurance for employees through the SHOP. SHOP plans do not have an open enrollment period. If an employer with 25 or fewer employees covers at least 50 percent of their full-time employee’s premium costs with annual wages of less than $50,000, the business may be eligible for a Small Business Health Care Tax Credit that will help subsidize the cost of supplying health insurance for employees. For employees If the employer does not offer an option for health insurance, the employee should sign up for health insurance either on or off
of the Marketplace. If the employee signs up through the Health Insurance Marketplace, he or she may receive subsidies that greatly decrease health insurance premium amounts and out-of-pocket costs. If the employer does offer a plan, it must be found to be both adequate and affordable. If the plan is found to be inadequate or unaffordable, the employee may use a special enrollment period (SEP) to choose a Marketplace plan instead of the employer coverage. An employer plan is adequate if it covers at least 60 percent of claims incurred by the beneficiary (same the minimum value standard noted above). Further, an employer plan is affordable if it costs less than or equal to 9.56 percent of the employee’s individual household income. If the plan is either inadequate or unaffordable, the employee will have a SEP to join a Marketplace plan.
For more information on the employer mandate, see the IRS website at: www.irs. gov/affordable-care-act/Employers.
Dental care and coverage difficult for many adults BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
Medicare does not cover most dental care including dental procedures, such as cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions, dentures, dental plates, or other dental devices. Medicare Part A will pay for certain dental services that you get when you’re in a hospital; however, that coverage is very limited. Due to the lack of Medicare coverage, many older Americans go without dental care. The Affordable Care Act offers premium tax credits to help low-income people purchase health insurance. However, the subsidies cannot be used to purchase dental coverage except as an add-on to health coverage. About 1.4 million Americans have purchased dental coverage on health insurance exchanges since January 2014 when the law took full effect. No new dental benefit requirements were included for adults
covered by Medicaid. Although the ACA does not make Medicaid dental coverage mandatory for adults, it gives states that have chosen to expand Medicaid a potential financial incentive to include dental benefits. In Wisconsin, Medicaid dental coverage for adults includes pain relief, infection treatment, tooth restoration, cleanings, fluoride treatments, crowns and fillings, X-rays, root canals, dentures and implants apart from preventive dental care checkups. Another barrier to dental care for low-income adults is the relatively low reimbursement rates offered by state Medicaid programs. Extensive paperwork and oversight also limit the number of dentists willing to take Medicaid patients (the ACA calls for even more intensive oversight and audits). The result is poor access to preventive care for low-income Medicaid beneficiaries in much of the country, ultimately resulting in higher overall costs. Americans spend as much to treat dental disease — almost
Assisted Living & Memory Care
all of it preventable — as on the treatment of all cancers combined according to DentaQuest, a research and advocacy organization and administrator of dental insurance plans, including Medicaid.
Free or reduced dental services in Wisconsin Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services provides a list on its website of free or reduced dental clinics that can be accessed here: www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/guide/ freedental.htm. One such program is the Donated Dental Service. The program is for people who are unable to afford necessary dental treatment because of low income which is linked to a permanent disability, chronic illness, or advanced age (65 or older). Dentists involved in this program agree to volunteer their time to serve this population. A person needing dental services without coverage may also consider reaching out to local dentistry schools or area technical colleges to see if they offer reduced services with their students.

Updates to SSI on the horizon
FoodShare and medical expenses BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
FoodShare provides funds for individuals to purchase food on a monthly basis. The amount of funds an individual receives from the program is based on that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income. There are certain deductions that may be used to decrease an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countable income for FoodShare purposes, and increase the amount of benefit that is received. In this article, we will focus on medical expenses, but there are a total of six deductions available including Standard deduction; Earned income deduction; Medical expenses deduction; Child support payment deduction; Dependent care expense deduction; and Shelter expense deduction. The medical expenses deduction is very useful and can ease the burden of having high medical costs for a given month. Reporting your medical expenses to FoodShare can help tip the scale between having to decide on whether to eat or get a medi-
cal service. When an individual is enrolled in FoodShare, he or she may submit medical expenses to the county income maintenance (IM) consortium. Expenses are compared with the individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income, rent, utilities, Medicare premiums, and other expenses to calculate a lower income for that individual. If income is lowered, the FoodShare benefit amount may increase. If the individual is applying or about to re-certify for FoodShare, past unpaid medical bills may be used to prospectively budget the individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FoodShare amount for the next certification period. Medical expenses paid prior to recertification cannot be used to increase the individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FoodShare benefit after the recertification or enrollment. There are two ways to use one-time medical expenses, such as a single medical bill without a payment plan, to increase the FoodShare benefit amount: â&#x20AC;˘Use the entire expense(s) for as an amount counted for one month;
â&#x20AC;˘Average the expense across the remaining months left in the certification period. Medical expenses that are on-going, such as an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medicare Part B premium, would be applied as an ongoing medical expense and used as a deduction in the FoodShare calculation each month. Similar to Medicaid, the FoodShare beneficiary must provide verifications of his or her medical expenses. Once the IM consortia has received the verifications, the case worker will determine whether the expense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if a one-time medical expense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should be averaged over the remaining months of certification or used to boost FoodShare benefits for one month. If the FoodShare beneficiary has a preferred method for how the medical expenses are used, he or she should provide written notice of his or her preference for using the expense for one month or averaged out for multiple months.
BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
Although over 40 years have passed since 1972 and the enactment of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), many SSI provisions have stayed stagnant or were last changed as far back as 1989. Earlier this year, representatives in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives introduced a bill titled the Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act of 2015. If enacted, this bill would modernize SSI provisions and align the provisions with the original purpose of SSI: to provide income support to people 65 or older, blind or disabled adults, and blind or disabled children. While many depend on SSI benefits today, recipients are not receiving the benefits originally established in 1972, as various SSI limits have not changed, while inflation has continued to increase. Though easily confused with Social Security, SSI benefits are distinguishable from Social Security benefits. SSI benefits are based on need and are for individuals with limited income and limited resources. Social Security benefits are
based on earnings, and have no income or resource limit. The current requirements for SSI, listed below, are highly restrictive, given that the income and resource limits to be eligible for SSI were enacted in 1972, with some increasing up until 1989. The SSI Restoration Act offers requirements suitable for individuals and couples in need in 2015 rather than 20 or more years ago. The Act also repeals two provisions from the 1972 SSI requirements: The transfer penalty, which calls for a three years of ineligibility for an individual or a couple who disposes or transfers assets to someone else for less than the cost of the assets; And the In-Kind Support and Maintenance Rule, which reduces benefits for an individual or couple when he, she, or they receive food or shelter. The changes above would significantly increase the quality of life and ability to earn and save money for some of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most needy individuals.

Finding a deal instead of a steal BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
Discount prescription drug cards — you have probably received them in the mail before and felt happy at the thought of a little savings at the prescription counter. Although discount prescription drug cards that offer real savings do exist, use caution before using any discount card. Reading fine print and asking a few questions can go a long way in determining whether the discount card you received is a potential scam. If a card requires you to pay a fee prior to using the card, it may be a scam as discount cards are generally free. Inspect what the card is offering. If it says it will replace your insurance or Medicare, then it is probably a scam. In addition to looking for fees and offers, review who is requesting these fees and making these offers. Figuring out who is behind the card can provide great insight to whether the card is safe to use. For example, some Wisconsin counties such as Brown, Rock, Kenosha, and Sauk, now offer a discount prescription drug card through the National Association of Counties (NACo). After you determine whether a discount card is safe to use, keep reading the small print. Look for information about who is eligible to use the card, or where the card may be used. A card may only be used by individuals under 65, associated with a specific pharmacy, or limited to purchases of prescription drugs not covered by insurance.
One note about prescription drug discount cards generally: you may face some difficulty shopping for the best deal on your prescriptions using discount cards. Some pharmacies may require you to go into the pharmacy with the discount card and won’t give you pricing over the phone. Other pharmacies may require you to fill the prescription prior to receiving the price of the prescription with the discount. Like researching discount cards to find out if they are safe to use, you may also have to do some leg-work to determine where you can receive the best deal on your prescriptions with discount cards. Stepping back from the discount prescription drug cards you receive in the mail, other options exist. Stores like Walgreens, Target, Walmart, and ShopKo offer discount cards, though each store varies in whether it charges for the discount card. These store cards may offer you a lower price on generics or 90-day prescriptions. In addition to store pharmacy discount cards, you can also search for discounts on specific brands of prescription drugs. There are a variety of ways you may be able to save money on your prescription drugs. To ensure that your personal information is safe, research discount cards and coupons and do not hesitate to contact a trusted pharmacist or health professional if you have questions.

Telemedicine and Medicare BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
As technology advances, the way we receive our health care changes. Telemedicine allows consumers to receive physician services remotely. These services are received through video conference and feature real-time audio and video. The Kaiser Health News article Medicare Slow To Adopt Telemedicine Due To Cost
Concerns states that “nearly 20 years after such videoconferencing technology has been available for health services, fewer than one percent of Medicare beneficiaries use it.” Medicare covers telemedicine in limited situations. First, to be covered, a beneficiary must have Medicare Part B. Second, the beneficiary must live in a rural area. Third, during the videocon-
ference, the beneficiary must be physically present in a doctor’s office, hospital, critical access hospital, rural health clinic, federally-qualified health center, hospital-based dialysis facility, skilled nursing facility, or a community mental health center. The standard 20 percent copay applies.

Impact of King v. Burwell BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
You may have heard about the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding subsidies for people insured through the Federally-Facilitated Marketplace (FFM). The case, known as King v. Burwell, was decided on June 25, 2015. The legal challenge, if successful, would have stopped subsidies (money from the federal government to help enrollees pay for health insurance) that are currently being received by 91.7 percent of the enrollees on the Marketplace in Wisconsin. The Supreme Court ruled that the subsidies received through FederallyFacilitated Marketplaces (FFMs) are legal and will continue. There are currently other minor law suits that are challenging other portions of the law, such as where the subsidies are derived from, however, based on the decision in King v. Burwell, there is very little chance that these suits will be successful. What was the case about? King v. Burwell contested language in the Affordable Care Act law that focused on subsidies given out through the federal government to people who enrolled in the health care Marketplace. These subsidies come in the form of Premium Tax Credits (tax credits given to reduce a taxpayer’s tax liability at the end of the year), Advance Premium Tax Credits (tax credits given monthly to reduce health insurance premiums), and Cost-Sharing Reductions (subsidies that directly reduce the outof-pocket costs for enrollees in silver-tier plans). The question the Supreme Court had to answer was whether enrollees in the 34 states that decided not to set up their own State-Facilitated Marketplace were eligible to receive subsidies under the ACA.
Hospice care provides compassion and support at a time when it’s needed the most.
We’re here for you.
CAREGIVERS CORNER By Barb Blodgett
The plaintiffs in King v. Burwell argued that, based on the statutory language of the ACA, state Marketplaces are the only Marketplaces that are able to legally receive subsidies from the federal government. By not including FFMs, the ACA, by omission, does not allow subsidies to be given to enrollees in states with FFMs. Ultimately the Supreme Court held that it was Congress’ intent to allow subsidies regardless of what entity ran the Marketplace. The entire point of the Marketplace is to allow enrollees to receive subsidies to help pay for their health insurance plans. Having Marketplaces without subsidies would be an absurd interpretation of the ACA’s language and contrary to the purpose of the legislators that drafted the law. What does all of this mean? Enrollees on the Marketplace, or those considering enrolling, can be assured that the subsidies will remain and the Marketplace is still an excellent option for coverage. King v. Burwell has made it harder to make legal attacks on the ACA, and enrollees — in both State- and Federally-Facilitated Marketplaces — will have subsidies to help pay for their health insurance for the foreseeable future. There are currently other minor law suits that are challenging other portions of the law, such as where the subsidies are derived from, however, based on the decision in King v. Burwell, there is very little chance that these suits will be successful. The next big challenge for the ACA will likely come after the next Presidential election. If the next President supports the law, he/she will hold veto power over any attempts to repeal the ACA. If the next President opposes the law, attempts at undoing the ACA may be reignited.
There are some really nasty people who are trying to take advantage of anyone they can. Scams are everywhere and I have just been hit with a new one. The call came and I have won something from Publisher’s Clearing House or as they said PCH. The caller identified himself as the guy who comes to your door with the balloons and huge check, I don’t remember his name. All I had to do was call a number and ask for someone named William at such and such an extension and he would tell me what I had won and the man calling (A UPS driver who was in Sandstone MN at the time or as he said only 35 minutes from my home would deliver it when William contacted him to say I would take the package. I am always suspicious when I get calls on my cell that I don’t recognize but this one I was sure about. You see, when I answered the phone I noticed the call came from Kingston Jamaica. I goggled the number he gave me to call and found it would cost $26.00 and .24¢ a minute if I called it. Somehow they get that money. Bad, bad, people. In the first place PCH will send a certified letter that you have won something. They will not call. If it is the big prize they will bring it in person after they have made arrangements to know that you will be home. Their representative told me they have often waited outside of a house for hours until the winner showed up so they could surprise them. Now, understand, you have a certified letter that you have signed for and there have been no phone calls. The letter simply says you have something coming from PCH and it will be delivered on a certain day. It says nothing more. If they don’t show up it might have been a scam, but you are out nothing. The call I got was so bogus I can’t even tell you how many red flags it threw up, but what about someone who doesn’t get the red flags. They make the call and get a huge phone bill. I am not sure how the scammer makes money on this, but I am sure they end up with more than they have every right to. Publisher’s Clearing House will not call, but if they show up at your house tell them they have the wrong address and send them to my house. Either that or quick call me over for coffee. I just want to see the check. Publisher Clearing House must have an old map, they can’t

seem to find my house. Of course I have not received a letter either. Darn ! ! It’s raining. Nice soft rain. I love the rain, but I want thunder and lightning. Big rain, no wind, but big rain. Since Denny has been retired, two weeks now, he has been on the lawn mower every other day. Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. Our lawn looks like you could play golf on it. Not that short, but that green. When Den is on his John Deere he is in his happy place. Now if he could only figure out how to put his portable CD player somewhere so he could listen to his oldies but goodies and be even happier. Brown grass is not acceptable. I love remembering sitting on the deck with his dad and telling him he was mowing the grass too short. I was told, he knew grass and he was doing it just right. The next few days were very hot and, you guessed it. Burnt grass. I am not right about the “outside” often, but I won’t let him forget about that one time. Interfaith is buzzing with activity. When the word gets out that we have helped some one with something, it spreads like wild fire. Suddenly every one with anything near that need is calling. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be sure the need is real. I want to quickly make note of our July 1st to July 15th statistics. We have nine volunteers (that number increases so much when we have wood cutting crews here). Our total mileage was 882. Seniors we served other than with the food delivery were four. Food delivery is in another category and we deliver to 56 including seniors, home bound, and those not capable of getting to the place of the food distribution. Others served were 11. That includes housing, car repairs, food vouchers, gas vouchers, etc. My records show that we had 12 referrals (people who needed help we could not provide) and seven of those were successful. Sometimes when I have to say we can’t help, people get upset or just hang up on me. Well, we do the best we can. We are selling our 50/50 raffle tickets and at the “Night Out” in Siren on August 4, and also on Aug. 13 we’ll be at Music in the Park at Crooked Lake in Siren. Rain is over and now I can take out the dogs. Poor babies they are standing here with their legs crossed. Quite hard to do if you have four legs. Have a wonderful August and see you around Labor Day. God Bless, Barb

Pastor Andi Wittwer Woodland Wesleyan Church
When you pick up your cell, do you feel a thrill of anticipation or even fear? Do you Facebook? Twitter? Do folks text messages you on your celly? Social networking has become the mainstay of many folksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daily conversation. While it can be rewarding and fun, sometimes it can be painful and inappropriate. You knew that already, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? Be caring, be conscious, be cautious. When we stand in a group we read faces, see body language and have social mores that hold us back from bullying remarks â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

those responses are sometimes regretted. When there is perceived distance, some feel protected and thus empowered to say things they might not normally say. Social network sites give a sense of anonymity and a false zone of safety. Bullies radiate anger. Whether it is politics or social issues, we get sucked into their drama. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say things you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say if that person was physically close. Moving away isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a sign of weakness; it is showing the strength of your self-esteem.
