From tragedy to surrender Local man loses his legs, but gains his spirit; to speak this Sunday TOWN OF BONE LAKE – When Bill Chantelois left for a snowmobiling venture one Saturday morning in 2009, he had no idea his life would be changed forever. Later that day, Chantelois was severely injured in a snowmobiling accident near Siren. The crash left him on the edge of death and in the hospital for 62 days. As a result of the accident, he needed to have both of his legs amputated. Although the results of Chantelois’ accident were beyond traumatic physically, spiritually his injuries were, by his own admission, one of the best things that has ever happened to him. He has used his tragedy as an example and since has spoken to numerous middle school and high school students, as well as other groups, about the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse. Sunday, March 24, Chantelois will be speaking at Zion Lutheran Church of Bone Lake about his experience, and how as a result of his accident, his life was transformed. He will tell you he knew “about Jesus� for many years, but now he has learned what it means to be truly surrendered to Jesus Christ. Zion’s worship service begins at 10:30 a.m., and the public is invited to hear Chantelois’ life-changing and inspiring story.

:HEVWHU GLVFXVVHV DPEXODQFH FRVW YRWH by Sherill Summer Leader staff writer WEBSTER - At the Webster Village Board March meeting on Wednesday, March 13, the Webster Board discussed the ambulance payment options Burnett County towns and villages will choose from next month. Currently, the ambulance cost is divided between the county’s towns and villages by population. Grantsburg Village has the county’s highest population and the highest ambulance cost. The Town of Blaine has the lowest population and the lowest ambulance cost. The difference between Grantsburg Village and the Town of Blaine’s ambulance cost is substantial. Currently, Grantsburg pays $64,542, and Blaine pays $9,524. Because roughly half of Burnett Coun-

ty’s structures are seasonal homes or cabins clustered along lakes in the east and northeast of the county, and because seasonal residents are not included in the population counts but could conceivably need ambulance service, some of the county’s village and town boards felt the ambulance cost could be distributed more fairly. Counting improved parcels instead of population can make a big difference in village and town ranking. For example, the Town of Jackson ranks ninth out of 21 when counting population, but ranks ÀUVW ZKHQ FRXQWLQJ LPSURYHG SDUFHOV Grantsburg Village ranks first when counting population, but ranks 10th when counting improved parcels.

population and 50 percent on improved parcels. This is among the choices the towns and villages can choose from next month. If this method is chosen, the next question is how quickly the new method of dividing ambulance costs should be implemented. The Webster Board feels that although no system to divide costs is completely fair, it would be more fair to divide ambulance cost between population counts and improved parcel counts, but the new method should be implemented over three years to give towns that will pay more under the new method time to adjust. Webb Lake will have the largest increase in ambulance costs under the 50-percent population/ 50-percent improved parcel method, going from popu-

lation based $15,084 to $32,556. Webster Village would save roughly $7,000 annually under the 50-percent population /50-percent improved parcel method.

%LGV ORZHU WKDQ H[SHFWHG IRU /XFN ZDWHU SURMHFW by Mary Stirrat Leader staff writer LUCK — A contract on the $500,000 water improvement project in Luck was awarded last week by the village board, with the low bid coming in at an amount that allows the board to consider including a part of the project that was earlier dropped. R.M Schlosser Excavating of Durand was low bidder out of eight bids, coming in at $468,000. Blacktop that is needed, but not included in the bid, will add another $30,000 to the project, bringing it to just under $500,000. The board and project engineer Dave Rasmussen from MSA Professional Services were pleased with the bid amount, noting that the project was estimated at $575,000. Much of the work will fall under a Safe Drinking Water program that offers “principal forgivenessâ€? of the loan. Originally, the project included improvements to the ZDWHU PDLQV LQ Ă€YH DUHDV RI WKH YLOODJH 7KHVH LPSURYHments would lead to better water pressure and quality. The impact to village water customers for the portion of the project not covered by Safe Drinking Water funds, however, was prohibitive, and the board scaled the project back to include only two areas of the village. A change-up in those areas allowed a third area to be added back into the project. Now, with the lower-than-expected bid, Rasmussen presented the board with the option of adding a fourth area, consisting of looping the main on South Seventh Street by the bus garage, back into the project. “We’re just checking to see what the possibilities are,â€? Rasmussen said. The three areas included at this time are on Second Street between Third Avenue and Park Avenue, at Butternut Avenue by Main, First, and Fourth Streets, and on West Street between Hwy. 48 and Third Avenue.

The new request came in light of a $12,000 payment due on the loan for a new roof, said village President Peter Demydowich. Given the $12,000 payment, he said, the earlier advance of $30,000 will not be enough to see the course through to opening. Although approved, the request led to discussion on the bookkeeping issues that led to a $12,000 loan payment not being included in the budget.

/LEUDU\ Circulation at the Luck Public Library was slightly down in 2012, library director Jill Glover told the board, following a trend that is being seen across the state. Total circulation in 2012 was 43,667 compared with 47,776 in 2011. January 2013 statistics show the trend continuing, with a circulation of 2,868 this year compared with 3,015 last year. “All libraries in the state of Wisconsin are down some,â€? she told the board, “but Luck is down less than most.â€? She speculated that the decrease in circulation might be due to increased use of e-readers, which have access to a large amount of free materials, or to an improving economy, which would mean people have other opportunities. Luck has an “uncommonly highâ€? percentage of residents who hold a library card, said Glover. There are 895 cards registered to village residents, although the total population is only around 1,200. The library sponsored 346 programs last year that drew 4,747 people. “That means we had a program going on almost every single day of the year,â€? she said. 2WKHU EXVLQHVV ‡ 7DQ\D %RUJ VSRNH WR WKH ERDUG DERXW KHU QRQSURĂ€W organization, Farm, Feral & Stray, and the work it does to trap, neuter and release feral cats.

For many Americans, the answer is the grocery store. The grocery store isn’t where food comes from - it’s just from where food is distributed. In reality, far too many people are unaware of the role of American agriculture in their daily lives ... and what it really takes to have food on their dinner table. Only a few generations ago, most people were a part of - and had friends or relatives involved with - agriculture. Not so today. Agriculture is responsible for providing WKH QHFHVVLWLHV RI OLIH IRRG Ă€EHU FORWKing and shelter. It’s more than cows and plows, and it’s time Americans become a bit more agriculture literate, recognizing the contribution agriculture makes in our communities! American farmers are working harder than ever. Today, each American farmer feeds more than 144 people. The need for food produced in the United States is huge. Agriculture is this nation’s No. 1 export and vitally important in sustaining a healthy economy. It’s not just the farmer who makes our food possible. The entire agriculture industry, all the way to the grocery store, are vital links in a chain that brings food to every citizen - and millions of people abroad. Some of those vital links include agribusiness, research, education, sales and services, mechanics, manufacturing, marketing and distribution, and agriscience. Agriculture systems include: animal science, plant science, agribusiness, food science and products, natural resources, environmental science and mechanical systems. Millions of jobs are available in the ag-related areas also. It’s easy to take agriculture for granted in America. Our food is readily accessible and safe. In some countries people pay 50-90 percent of their income for food, we only pay 15-20 percent. We are very fortunate ... but that doesn’t mean we don’t have an obligation to recognize how it’s made possible. The FFA Creed states that “American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life.â€? Don’t be agriculture illiterate, be proud of Wisconsin agriculture - together we can. Make the time and take the opportunity to say thank you to a farmer, an agribusiness employee, an agriculture educator or any of those who bring food to your table, provide clothing for your convenience or provide shelter for your family.

7URXEOLQJ LVVXHV ZLWK EXGJHW The hat’s in the ring. Any reservations about Gov. Walker’s real agenda surely were put to rest when he spoke to his base at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday, March 16. He is fully prepared to make Wisconsin his proving ground for a presidential run. Be ready to pay the price. There are so many troubling issues in this budget that it is hard to know where to start. For example, according to the nonpartisan Wisconsin Budget Project, Walker’s 2013-15 budget will offer different ways of increasing revenue for highways. (Any chance this is supposed to draw more of the promised 250,000 jobs to Wisconsin?) We are still 42nd in job creation in the nation. No, it’s for a zoo interchange near Milwaukee. To do this, he proposes to reduce resources for education, health care and public safety. Might more job creators be drawn to a state investing in education, health care, safety - a state where they

would want to raise families? When you hear about his tax cuts, consider that the average cut for people making less than $100,000 will be $3 a month. Is that really worth freezing funding for public education? For insuring fewer people? Naturally, the tax cuts favor the wealthy. I intend to trace the source of his plan and will not be surprised to learn, once again, the governor and his legislators are being handed plans, not written in Wisconsin, but prepared by the American Legislative Exchange Council. Follow the money. Two questions: Why are 30,000 students in voucher schools receiving half the amount budgeted for public schools who have six times more students including special-needs children? Remember public schools must accept all. Why is Eric Severson, an emergency URRP GRFWRU DVVHPEO\PDQ QRW ÀJKWLQJ tooth and nail for the people he meets regularly?

7UDQVSDUHQF\ LQ VKHOWHU UHSRUWLQJ In Wisconsin, an animal shelter’s criteria for determining if an animal is adoptable or unadoptable are not standardized. Categorization of impounded or surrendered companion animals in many of our shelters is at best arbitrary. Temperament testing, along with medical criteria made by nonmedical staff, is often the determining factor that leads to the adoptability status of an animal in our shelters. But, what do they mean by adoptable? Is a dog with diarrhea unadoptable? Is a cat with ringworm unadoptable? Is a kitten with herpes virus unadoptable? Is an elderly, arthritic, but otherwise healthy dog unadoptable? In most cases these animals are treatable to become adoptable. Our veterinary community would recommend these animals be treated rather than killed. When your shelter states that they found homes for 100 percent of their adoptable dogs, ask them what are the criteria for determining if an animal is adoptable or unadoptable? Ask them what their live release rate is. The live release rate is calculated with numbers recorded by shelters: Adoptions plus returns to owners plus transfers to fosters and rescues plus reWXUQV WR ÀHOG GLYLGHG E\ WKH WRWDO LQWDNH RI animals. This is the only accurate indicator of how well the staff is doing in preparing their animals for adoption. As long as animal shelters in our state are allowed to withhold information on their statistics, policies and procedures, and private shelters are legally able to do this, donations and fees paid to them are questionably utilized. Currently, the public is without the information it needs to make an informed decision when it comes to making a donation or payment to private shelters. What we need is a Companion Animal Protection Act to require that all animal shelters, public or private, disclose the information about what happens to every animal in their custody. Only then will citizens know if their donations and fees are being utilized according to the best interest of all animals impounded and surrendered to community shelters. Tanya Borg Centuria

Joseph Leibham, R-Sheboygan, were given a public hearing Thursday, March 14, before the Senate Committee on Transportation, Public Safety, and Veterans and Military Affairs. “Wisconsin has a proud and longstanding tradition of outdoor sports,� said Severson. “In order to continue to grow ATV/UTV ridership, we need to allow community members increased participation into the process while also ensuring safety out on the trails.�

Senate Bill 29 creates a formal off-road vehicle council in order to allow ATV and UTV riders more input on matters relating to ATV trails and routes. The council would also make recommendations to the Department of Natural Resources concerning expenditure of the all-terrain vehicle fund. Current law provides this opportunity to snowmobile riders through the Snowmobile Recreational Council. 6HQDWH %LOO LQFUHDVHV ÀUVW WLPH ULGHUship by providing an exemption from the $79 ULGHU FHUWLÀFDWLRQ UHTXLUHPHQW IRU

Ninth-annual All-Leader girls basketball team by Marty Seeger and Greg Marsten Leader staff writers LEADER LAND – There’s a good mix of veteran talent on this year’s ninth annual-All-Leader girls basketball team, but several too, will be back again next season and in some cases, two more years. It was an exciting season of basketball in the West Lakeland with head coach Angie Maternowsky leading her team to their second consecutive conference title, with Luck pulling up in a close second under longtime coach Marty Messar, who notched his 400th career win as the Cardinals head coach.

Luck, despite losing a key senior with Avery Steen, still has a large crop of sophomores and juniors waiting to make another run at the title in 2014, and other teams are continuing to rebuild and should be competitive For some teams, injuries took their toll while others had seasons that seemed to end much too soon, but that’s what makes the winter sports season that much more interesting year in and year out, and increasingly harder to predict each year.

Other data shown by Cole highlighted one of the reasons why some anglers may be pushing for a stricter management plan. Through fyke netting surveys done by the DNR since the 1940s, charts showed a decline in the average size of bluegills, crappie and perch in area lakes.

It’s maple syrup time at Crex GRANTSBURG – A sure sign that spring is on the way is the annual tapping of sugar maple trees in March. The sap season has begun at Crex Meadows Wildlife Area. A two-hour maple syrup workshop will be offered on Sunday, March 24, providing visitors with a tour, and taste, of the process. Participants will follow the proFHVV IURP VDS WR V\UXS DQG WDVWH WKH ÀQDO product. Trained staff and volunteers will guide visitors through the program, which demonstrates and explains the history and process of making maple syrup beginning ZLWK ZLQWHU WUHH LGHQWLÀFDWLRQ FRQWLQXing with tapping a tree and ending with a sample of some pure maple syrup. Maple sugaring is a tradition in the north woods that began centuries ago with the Native Americans and colonists. People of all ages are invited to see this tradition brought to life at Crex Meadows WA. You will see how trees are tapped, view sap-collecting methods past and present, and see the boiling process that produces Wisconsin maple syrup. During the warmer months, maple trees produce starches which they store

in their roots throughout the winter. As spring approaches, the tree converts these starches to sugars which are carried to the UHVW RI WKH WUHH LQ D à XLG FDOOHG VDS 6DS à RZV WKURXJK D SRUWLRQ RI WKH RXWHU WUXQN called the sapwood, which is pressurized during the spring when temperatures rise above freezing during the day and drop EHORZ IUHH]LQJ DW QLJKW 7KHVH à XFWXDtions cause the sap to rise and allow us to safely collect sap without damaging the tree. This sap, when collected and processed, becomes the maple syrup we all enjoy. The program will be held off-site from 1-3 p.m., free of charge. Transportation will be provided. Registration is required and space is limited. Crex Meadows WA works in a variety of ways to educate youth and adults about maple syrup production.

March means music at area high schools by Jean Koelz Leader staff writer POLK/BURNETT COUNTY—On Monday, March 18, on the heels of a snowstorm, the Webster music department hosted its annual spring concert. The middle school and high school choirs under the direction of Jim Muus performed seven numbers. The bands, under the direction of Julie Strang, played nine. The jazz band repeated its performance of Gershwin’s “Summertime� and Eddie Harris’ upbeat “Cold Duck Time� at the Jazz Fest hosted by Siren High School on Tuesday night. Eleven different instrumental and choral groups from Frederic, Grantsburg, Osceola, St. Croix Falls, Unity and Webster had the opportunity to have their performances critiqued by guest judges from other schools. Band director Randall Meinen from Prairie Farm scored the instrumental ensembles, and teacher Audric Buhr came all the way from Menomonie High School to coach the vocal groups. Music performances are scheduled at area high schools throughout April and May. The Large Group Festival is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26, at Grantsburg High School, and the High School Solo/Ensemble Festival is scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, at St. Croix Falls.

Thank You The family of Charles (Chub) Peterson Jr. would like to thank South Fork Sporting Club for letting us have the memorial there. We would also like to thank everyone for their condolences, cards & food; Galen Daniels for putting down sand on the parking lot; the people from Hospice for being there for our father & us. He will be missed a lot & always in our hearts with love. Thank you to everyone.

THANK YOU

A huge thank-you to all who attended the roast beef dinner and silent auction Sunday, March 3, at Bone Lake Lutheran Church. It was a huge success. My synodical appointment to teach at the Pastors’ Academy in Malawi, Africa, in July is possible due to the generosity of so many people. A very special thanks to my Bone Lake family for putting together this event for the community - for all who prepared the delicious meal, served and donated the silent auction items. I am blessed to serve this congregation and to live in such a supportive community. Thank you everyone and God bless!
