Sawyer County authorities are searching for Kaeden T.J. Dumholt, the 20-year-old escapee, after a home invasion there. County Sheriff Mark Kelsey said they believe Dumholt was one of two suspects chased away by a homeowner Thursday evening, Aug. 6. He said authorities recovered a stolen vehicle from Jackson County after a high-speed chase, and said a citi citi@+4 =/:4+99+* 54+ 6+8954 F++/4- :.+ <+./)2+ ',:+8 /: ='9 driven into a ditch. “We received information this morning about a cabin in another county that was owned by a relative. That’s been checked several times,â€? he said. Rain and wind hampered their initial search, according to Kelsey. Kelsey said it took them a day to release information of the incident because they were busy trying to apprehend Dumholt. He said they’re working with sur A1/>33 /323< ( rounding county authorities to locate him and the other C;6=:B # ! suspect whose identity has not yet been determined. Ac &' ! $ #' ! +" cording to Kelsey, one of the suspects was armed with a !# # long gun. He advised anyone that comes in contact with Dumholt to avoid confronting the escaped inmate and immediately contact law enforcement. The Sawyer County Sheriff’s Department declined to make reports of the incident available because the matter is still under investigation. Dumholt escaped the Black River Correctional Center on Aug. 2. The superintendent of the facility did not immediately respond to a request for comment. According to a statement from a Wisconsin Department of Corrections spokeswoman, Dumholt was incarcerated in 2013 and transferred to the unfenced Black River facility just three days before he escaped. He was scheduled to be released to “extended supervisionâ€? in March of next year. The correctional center is among 14 minimum-security facilities operated by the state. - Danielle Kaeding | WPR News

He appeared again on Tuesday, Aug. 11, in a preliminary hearing, where he was bound over for trial and ordered not to have any contact with the victim. He entered a not guilty plea to the latest charges. According to online court records, White has a long history of drug-related legal run-ins, and had recently entered a plea agreement in late May on several charges, including battery, disorderly conduct and bail jumping. Part of his sentence was a one-year probationary agreement not to commit other crimes. It is unclear if the latest charges will be affected by that previous sentence.

November referendum likely at Unity

Special board meeting to finalize plans set for Aug. 18

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE — After reviewing comments made by the public both before and after the failed April referendum vote, as well as surveys by board and staff members, the Unity School Building and Long-Range Planning Committee is recommending that another referendum vote be held in November. A special meeting of the board has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18, to discuss the recommendations of the committee and most likely approve a resolution allowing the November referendum vote to take place. According to comments made by district Administrator Brandon Robinson at the regular monthly board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 11, the November referendum will be a scaled-down version of the April proposal. It will focus on infrastructure, maintenance and classroom renovation, based on feedback from the community, staff and board. Minutes of the most recent meeting of the building and long-range planning committee state “replacement of the boilers, air handling units and heat pumps remains a critical concern for the committee. Addressing program space is also a concern as the committee wants to '**8+99 :.+ "# 9)/+4)+ :+).4525-? +4-/4++8/4- 3':. 2+'84/4- '8+'9 '4* ')tivity spaces.� The committee also determined that renovation rather than rebuild of the high school facility is “the more viable and prudent course of action,� especially since :.+8+ .'9 (++4 '4 6+8)+4: /4F':/54'8? increase in construction costs this year

along with indications of an impending bond rate increase. Board member Dave Moore commented on his concerns regarding the aging of the building, alluding to the state-imposed revenue caps that do not allow schools to levy for major maintenance projects without voter approval. “We as a board need to address the ongoing infrastructure needs by the only method the state has left to us,� he said.

7@7<5A In preparation for the upcoming school year, the board approved the hiring of four individuals. Nicola DeNucci, a Unity graduate, was hired as the library media specialist. Kimberly Otto, a former plumber, Boy Scout leader and builder of canoes, was hired as elementary teacher. Hired as middle school student council adviser was middle school teacher Damaris Campeau, and hired as middle school football coach was Joshua Miller. A middle school teacher position remains open, said Principal Elizabeth Jorgensen, and interviews are under way. C253B A projected increase in state aid for the 2015-16 school year is good news for taxpayers in the Unity district, but it doesn’t change the budget constraints the school is facing. According to July 1 projections on the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction website, Unity could see a state aid increase of $587,168, bringing general aid to the district to nearly $1.791 million. This doesn’t mean that the district will have that much more to spend, however, said Administrator Brandon Robinson. Because of the state-imposed

revenue cap, the district cannot increase its revenue over last year’s amount, and instead must lower the tax levy that is assessed to property owners. Therefore, the overall general revenue will remain the same, which means that the district will have no additional funds for maintenance or programming. “We’re still working through that,� Robinson told the board. #.+ E4'4)+ )533/::++ /9 '295 =581ing through employee health insurance changes.

According to Smith, the man who was struck was initially taken to OMC for treatment, and then was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital for further treatment. He suffered compound fractures to his left leg, with a large laceration on his left arm as well as a cervical spine injury. “It took many stitches to close the wound,� Smith said, adding that the man is apparently recovering slowly, but is expected to eventually recover enough to walk again. “Let’s just say he is very, very lucky to be alive.�

Call for repeal of Jarchow shoreland act

Polk committee resolution goes to county board

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The Conservation Committee of the Polk County Board has adopted a resolution calling for the repeal of section 1922 of the Wisconsin Act 55, the budget bill. This is the section of the budget that restricts the ability of

counties to regulate shoreland zoning. The section was proposed by state Rep. Adam Jarchow. That resolution now goes to the county board for consideration at its Tuesday, Aug. 18 meeting. The committee, during its meeting Wednesday, Aug. 5, also discussed how the provisions of Act 55 will affect the present county shoreland ordinance and the proposed zoning ordinance. Polk County, along with other counties, must start to interpret the new regulations now while also waiting for possible new rules from the DNR. The resolution states that, because of Act 55, nonconforming structures in shoreland areas will no longer be subject to any oversight which will cause development near waterways to go completely unchecked relative to compliance with other regulations such as sanitary zoning. It says that with no oversight, property owners that make changes may unknowingly be in violation of standards that could result in after-the-fact enforcement by the county. It says that, with no oversight, neighboring property owners and the general public may be negatively impacted in property values, erosion and runoff, substandard sanitary conditions and the overall enjoyment of the county’s

waterways. The resolution, which was passed by unanimous voice vote, specifically asks the Legislature to repeal the provisions of statute sections 59.69 and 59.692 which were changed by sections 1922am through 1922L of Act 55. It also requests that future changes to the shoreland zoning provisions be discussed through the normal legislative process which would allow for open public discussion and input. Tim Anderson, county planner, said that the county is taking things a day at a time as it decides how Act 55 affects the current county regulation of shoreland properties. He said the county, with advice from Jeff Fuge, corporation counsel, is accepting zoning permit applications and reviewing them on a case-by-case basis. Anderson said the county is reviewing the present ordinance and the proposed ordinance to see what changes need to be made. He said the proposed 58*/4'4)+ :.+ 8+9;2: 5, E<+ ?+'89 5, 8+view, might still come to the county board in October. The new regulations in Act 55 say that a county may not regulate construction on a substandard in a manner that is more restrictive than the DNR zoning standards.

It says that the DNR standards may not impair the interest of a shoreland property owner by requiring approval to install lighting, requiring inspections before the sale of a property and establishing standards for impervious surfaces. The act says that approval cannot be required for the maintenance, repair, replacement, restoration, rebuilding or remodeling of a nonconforming structure that does not expand its footprint. It allows the vertical expansion of a nonconforming structure up to 35 feet above grade level. The act also says that there can be no requirements to establish or expand a vegetative shoreland buffer zone. The provisions in Act 55 apply to all county provisions in effect on or after the effective date of the act. Jarchow, in a June 15 statement, said he proposed the shoreland standards to protect private property rights.

SCF School Board adjusts activities codes

Clark gave two personal examples of students who went out for wrestling and had multiple failing grades, but worked to improve them to keep their eligibility. However, one of the students was unable to get one grade up to acceptable levels and ended up quitting the sport, and essentially failed all six of his classes after that, with no incentives or opportunities to maintain his eligibility. “Sports keep kids working hard to stay eligible,� Clark said. “When they’re not part of a team, a lot of them just don’t care.� 2'81 9'/* .+ ='9 E-.:/4- ,58 :.+ 4+= policy to keep some kids from falling through the cracks and giving up, that the adjusted code would allow more realistic eligibility standards and penalties.

News from Grantsburg Village Board Gregg Westigard | Staff writer GRANTSBURG – For this reporter, the monthly meeting of the Grantsburg Village Board Monday, Aug. 10, was preceded by a plane ride over the village. Pilot Tim Thompson was eager to show that the Grantsburg Airport is active, in good shape and in use. The board covered the range of topics typical for a small community. That included bears in town, skateboards, community events, library use and funding, new restaurant owners, the relationship with the county and the airport. Five of the seven board members were present, Glenn Rolloff, Larry Ebersold, Scott De Rocker, Diane Barton and Rayna Surdey, along with village employees, the press, residents Brent Blomberg and Mark Dahlberg, and a few people interested in the issues. The Grantsburg Airport is one of those issues. The village has been discussing if the airport should be kept open and what is needed to do that. One issue, the status of the grass second runway, has been resolved. The runway has been mowed and smoothed, planes have landed on it, and the grass landing strip is open and safe. Long-term oversight of the airport

ciation standards, and some coaches set even more stringent standards than the school standards. The code affects all high school athletes, as well as some music and extracurricular activities, such as drama. While the details of the changes were not clear at press time, high school Principal Peggy Ryan said the issue was to better coordinate the penalties and grading checks with district grading periods, which have changed in recent years. “Just to clarify, these are not for our ‘star players,’�Ryan assured. “These are ).'4-+9 3+'4: :5 '**8+99 :.59+ 9:;dents who are struggling through life; we are trying to keep them in our family, to offer them these opportunities in life.� The changes would allow for two-week grade checks after a violation, and again, does allow coaches to be more strict, as some coaches already prefer. There was some disagreement about the effect of the new policy, but in the end, the policy was approved, with just one dissent from board member Sheri Norgard, who worried about how grades are used in different ways to either reward or limit activities. “I just want to be sure we are being consistent,� Norgard said.

airport and not just using it. In a related issue, the village board agreed to transfer $150,000 in airport entitlement funds to the Burnett County airport in Siren for another year. The village does not currently have use for the annual funds, which would be lost if not used or transferred. The village had tried to connect this year’s fund transfer with a request to the county for a dialogue on a number of issues including funding the village libraries at the 80-percent level, tying county economic development funds to reclamation projects and admitting the local municipalities to the county’s health insurance plan. Rolloff reported on his conversations with some county board members. He said they were supportive of many of the concepts but did not want them tied to a resolution on the airport funds. Rolloff said it was a good discussion but moved to withdraw :.+ </22'-+ 8+952;:/54 =./). ='9 E89: 68+sented in July. Barton voted no to both the withdrawal and the airport funding. She told the Leader that the issues with the county were not new, and she had hoped for more of a response from the county. Bears in the village are an ongoing issue. There are a number of bears living in the wooded areas near homes, especially at Jackson and Russell near the river. Steve Hoffman, from the DNR, said that live trapping and removing nuisance bears has not always been a success. He said that a tagged sow relocated to the Glidden area, about 100 miles to the east, returned to Grantsburg. Hoffman said the

Burandt said. • The board addressed several small issues with their laptop computer policies, and Burandt said he was trying to make it so the board would not need to constantly update or review entire policies over small changes like calendar dates, replacement costs and more. • The district starts school Sept. 1, and will have open houses at all their buildings on Wednesday, Aug. 26, which will also include a meet and greet for Burandt, to introduce him to the district.

next step for controlling these bears might be a controlled kill. He said permission for that step would need to be initiated by the village. Rolloff said bears are out of control in the village. The board will take up this issue at its next meeting. Kids are skateboarding on village streets, causing complaints and safety concerns, Police Chief Jeff Schinzing reported. He said there are some “pretty defiant teenagers� who have resisted ='84/4-9 '4* '8+ 8+9/9:/4- E4+9 ")./4@ing said they are boarding down village streets and sidewalks, in one case even 8;44/4- 54 =? /4 :8',E) + 9'/* they can cause accidents, hurt other people, and hurt themselves.

Barton said it was a fantastic event. Rick Quimby said this year’s watercross has also a good event. He said the watercross is becoming more of a family event. He thanked the volunteers who helped put the event on and said the watercross raised $82,000 for community groups in addition to funding the hockey program. Quimby said next year will be the 40th watercross. Dreamers St. Croix Pub and Grille has a new owner. Scott Olson said the restaurant and bar is developing a new menu and wants to be active in the community. The Grantsburg Library is drawing more users this summer, library director Kristina Kelly-Johnson told the board. But the library receives less funding per capita than other local libraries and the lack of money hurts, she said. “We want to provide modern services and keep up with the times,� Kelly-Johnson said. She mentioned two areas where the funding level hurts, the purchase of materials and library hours. The Grantsburg Library spends $7,902 on materials while the state recommended level is $15,417 based on municipal population and $25,992 based on service-level population. The library should be open 50 hours a week, rather than the current 33 hours, Kelly-Johnson said, to meet state standards. Rolloff said library funding will be part of the 2016 budget discussion, adding that library services are increasing by leaps and bounds.

Frederic Arts believes in art for everyone

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer FREDERIC — The arts are for everyone, believes Frederic Arts, and the varied opportunities and projects supported by the ?+'8 52* 454685E: 58-'4/@':/54 685<+ their point. The results of one of those opportunities will be the focus of a short dedication ceremony this Saturday morning. A colorful mosaic bench created by the community during Family Days has been installed in front of the new clinic and will be dedicated to the community at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug 15. “We had over 100 people involved, stopping by the art center during Family Days to help place the hundreds of mosaic pieces,� said Jack Route, vice chair of Frederic Arts. Route was speaking at the Monday, Aug. 10, meeting of the village board, reviewing the organization’s mission and activities and asking for continued support. “We believe that the arts are an essential, vital and necessary component to the quality of life in a community,� Route 9'/* B#.+ '8:9 ',E83 '4* )+2+(8':+ =.5 we are, and believe it, the arts are good for business.� Frederic Arts, he said, has a wide interpretation of the word “arts,� in order to be inclusive rather than exclusive. “We really believe the arts are for everyone.� The organization, which is membership-based, completely volunteer and governed by a volunteer board of directors, operates its events out of the old American Legion building. It has several ongoing community projects. “One of our most visible and successful programs we do each year is the Art Medley project,� said Route. A half-footsquare frame is given to anyone who wants to “create a work of art and donate it back.� The squares are exhibited throughout Burnett and Polk counties, then sold as a fundraiser. “This year we had over 90 participants from the area,� Route said. “The majority of these folks are not professional artists. The project gives anyone interested a way to participate and be part of what becomes then a wonderful medley of creative energy.� Frederic Arts also sponsors a music and arts scholarship at Frederic High School. For the past three years it has sponsored a classical music concert, working with the UW-Madison Arts Outreach Program. This year a brass ensemble will give a public performance Sunday evening, Oct. 25, then do a workshop with music students at the high school the next morning. Each year, said Route, the organization has spent more than $1,000 to make this opportunity available to people who might not otherwise be exposed to classical music performed by professional musicians.

The following year a piece of art by Sarah Balbin was placed by Coon Lake, and in 2013 the “Circle of Stones� sculpture was installed along Hwy. 35 just north of the former drugstore. Finally, said Route, over the past few years Frederic Arts has begun holding classes, and hopes to expand these opportunities as space becomes available. “We estimate conservatively that Frederic Arts directly serves 350 to 400 people per year, bringing arts events, educational activities and awareness to the community,� he said. A past village board leased the former Legion Hall to Frederic Arts at no charge, said Route, in exchange for maintaining the property. Last year’s board voted to spend $2,000 to help make use of an unheated, uninsulated room in the building, and Frederic Arts is using volunteer labor and donated funds to make it into a multipurpose space for classes, meetings and exhibits. “While we haven’t completed this project,� he said, “we have made progress and invite anyone who might be interested to stop by and see what we’re up to. We believe we do our part and hope we are worthy of your continued support in this manner.� The building, said Route, is “in dire

The main idea of the animal waste ordinance will be that all animal waste will need to be cleaned up immediately and disposed of properly. Regarding the overnight parking ordinance, approved for immediate implementation is a portion stating that two warnings will be given prior to an individual being cited for overnight parking. • The board approved the compliance maintenance annual report for the wastewater treatment plant, presented by public works director Ken Hackett. Hackett noted that the report indicated the wastewater treatment system is good, with two 45:+* /99;+9 #.+ F5= 3+:+8 /9 5,, (? percent, he said, and will be tested by the DNR to determine if the problem is with the meter itself.

The auditor recommended that the stock be sold and the money be put in the general fund to be spent at the board’s discretion. There is no penalty for holding and accruing the stock. • William Johnson IV, of the park board, reported that the pie social will be held at the Frederic Depot/Museum this Saturday.

Not only that, but other parts of the country have their ticks as well. Vacationing elsewhere does not eliminate you from being bitten by a tick as Lyme disease is prevalent across the United States. Fewer than half of patients with Lyme disease recall a tick bite or rash. Adolescents and children are probably at a higher risk for this illness because they spend more time in areas where they could be bitten. Even more concerning is the fact that current research indicates that the Lyme disease bacteria can be transmitted within hours after an infected tick attachment.

course can result in a child devel56/4- ' ).854/) */,E);2: :5 :8+': infection in the brain, eyes, joints, heart and elsewhere in the body.

Teachers, when your students return to the classroom this fall, please be vigilant. If they are tired, wilt easily, have dark circles under their eyes, they are sick.

She is a doctor of chiropractic, functional medicine and kinesiology, which enables her to understand the chronically ill Lyme patient and treat each individual according to their needs.

Scott Walker, who says he is running for the White House on his record, didn’t mention the de)/9/54 *;8/4- :.+ E89: !+6;(2/)'4 presidential debate. Rejecting the federal money is one of the major actions of Walker’s years as governor. Walker has said his decision will protect Wisconsin taxpayers, suggesting the federal government may not be able to afford all the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, which included the additional Medicaid money. None of the GOP presidential candidates has a good word to say about the law, also known as Obamacare. Most are quick to say they are going to end Obamacare as 9554 '9 :.+? -+: :5 :.+ <'2 ,E)+ Some suggest they would “replace� Obamacare, but the details are lacking. Some of its provisions are popular, including guaranteed health insurance coverage regardless of existing conditions. The law also allows parents to carry their adult children, to age 26, on the family policy. Those ideas are attractive to those over 50 years of age. #

Walker’s decision not to accept the federal aid should play well with those who have little sympathy for health-care assistance for the poor. He could promise that as president he would sharply scale federal Medicaid aid to the 50 states. If Wisconsin can live without a half-billion dollars in federal aid, the other 49 states should do the same, he could say. Let their legislatures devise health-care approaches. Alas, Walker’s decision to reject federal money is not popular with the average Wisconsin citizen. Rejection of the federal money is a mistake, according to 60 percent of those answering an earlier Marquette University poll. It could be

one of the reasons why only 41 percent support Walker’s gubernatorial record. Wisconsin is not very good at getting federal aid. Earlier this summer the nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance said Wisconsin is 47th among the states in the amount of federal money received in 2013. “The relative dearth of federal aid is one reason Wisconsin taxes are above average,� the Alliance report noted. Walker has been steady in his approach toward federal money. '82? /4 ./9 E89: :+83 '9 -5<+8nor of Wisconsin, he rejected an estimated $800 million for a highspeed rail line. The developers of the rail equipment have sued the state in federal court. The case is pending. Wisconsin also was one of only four states that implemented reductions in food stamp funds. Other affected states found ways to avoid the congressional budget decisions. Walker could point out how Wisconsin is different than other states. His approach clearly is not to try to capture the maximum amount of federal funds. That could make ./3 ' 9'/4: :5 E9)'2 )549+8<':/<+9

There was a dinner banquet Saturday, where the Wisconsin Sporting Clays Association state meeting is held, along with election of delegates, and inductees into the WSCA Hall of Fame.

Watch closely: More than one tick-borne disease in Upper Midwest Kay Case | Physician assistant Mayo Clinic Health System –Northland, Rice Lake RICE LAKE — There are three types of ticks in our area, and two are responsible for disease. Only females in the nymph and adult stage can pass the infection. The most common tick is the wood or dog tick; luckily, no disease has been associated with that tick in our area. Ticks carrying disease are the deer, black-legged or bear tick, and a new one of concern called the lone star tick. The lone star tick normally is present in the south but is slowly migrating to our area. If you see this tick, you should report it to public health. Which infectious diseases are carried by the deer tick? In our area, Lyme disease is the most commonly found tick-borne infection. Anaplasma, formally ehrlichia or HE, is the bacteria carried by the deer tick alone or as a co-infection. Babesia is another infectious bacteria occurring alone or as co-infection. It infects red cells similar to malaria. Anaplasmosis and babesiosis are associated with more severe symptoms. The lone star tick carries another form of ehrlichia, HME, but has similar symptoms. How long does the tick have to be attached to infect a person? It depends on the infective agent. For Lyme, the tick needs to be at least partially engorged with blood and/ or attached for at least 36 hours. However, anaplasma has been shown to be transferred within 24 hours and possibly before the blood meal. Since there is a high rate of co-infections in our area, it is best to see your healthcare provider and, of course, bring the tick with you for /*+4:/E)':/54

• Your health-care provider will determine if the bite is typical of a tick bite. • You may be asked to watch the area for expanding redness — greater than size of a quarter. • If you see your provider within 72 hours and live in a highly endemic deer tick area, you may be treated with a one-day dose of antibiotic treatment When do I have to see a health-care provider? • If you are sure it is a wood tick, you do not need to see a health-care provider.

After a tick bite, how long do I need to observe the area for a rash or onset of symptoms? It is suggested that you observe the area of a tick bite for 30 days. If you see a rash expanding larger than a quarter or have the symptoms previously described within that time, you need to see a health-care provider. How do I remove the tick? • Use a tweezers to grip the tick as close to the skin as possible. Avoid squeezing the contents of the tick. • Pull upward slowly. The deer tick has a cementlike substance in the saliva. • If mouth parts are left, leave them there. They will be expelled on their own. • Wash your hands and the bite area with soap and water. How do I avoid getting tick bites and associated infections? • Avoid wooded and bushy areas with high grass. Stay in the center of cleared trails. • Use effective tick repellents, and apply according to the label instructions. Avoid direct skin applications, if possible. Permethrin also is effective against ticks and lasts for days to weeks, but should only be applied to clothes and not directly to the skin. • Wear long sleeves, long pants and long socks to keep ticks on the outside of clothing. Light-colored clothing will help you spot ticks. • Tuck shirts into pants and pants into shoes or socks to keep ticks on the outside of clothing. If outdoors for an extended period of time, tape pant legs where pants and socks meet so that ticks cannot crawl under clothes. • Perform daily tick checks after being outdoors in areas where ticks are present. Remove any ticks from clothing, gear and pets before going inside. Inspect all parts of the body carefully, especially the armpits, scalp, neckline and groin. Take a shower or bath as soon as possible to wash off any ticks that are still crawling on you. Tumble clothes in a dryer on high heat for an hour to kill remaining ticks.

Upon graduating from The Atelier, Swenson had the rare privilege of being accepted to the Grand Central Atelier in New York City last August, and was even given a partial scholarship to attend. But it all came together very unexpectedly and very quickly. She describes her sudden need to relocate from a town of 1,000 to a metropolis of 8.5 million people as “a whirlwind experience,â€? and uses the same phrase to describe the year she’s spent living and learning there. “I didn’t know anyone when I moved there,â€? Swenson recalls. “I pulled three allnighters the week before I left because I had a show on Tuesday in Minneapolis, a show on Friday in Siren, and we made the 20-hour drive to New York on Sunday.â€? Swenson recalls frantically making phone calls as her father drove because she didn’t have anywhere to sleep once she arrived. Through a network of connections, Swenson was offered a room for three weeks in a condo belonging to a couple that was on vacation. After that, she moved from place to place until some acquaintances from Minneapolis joined her in December. She made use of a friend’s storage shed and carried as 3;). =/:. .+8 /4 (')16')19 '4* *;,F+ ('-9 as she could safely carry. She says her bulky bags made her unpopular with commuters who were already crammed for space in the crowded public transit systems and sidewalks of New York. “I was surprised by how quickly I learned to ignore people,â€? Swenson says. “It’s a foreign concept to most people to come from a place so small ‌ to graduate in a class of 40 people, for example. When you go to a place so big, with so many people, there’s a part of you that hardens. You develop calluses where you need to because it’s a necessary survival skill.â€?

Swenson is probably one of the youngest students, as the program attracts artists well into their 50s. Students are expected to be in attendance Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., and the apprentice program typically lasts four years. Swenson says that each student controls their own programming, and she plans to complete her studies within the next two years. Swenson is especially grateful to have been accepted into the Hudson River Fellowship, where she spent three weeks with 20 painters from around the world studying landscapes in New Hampshire. The program is sponsored by GCA and supported by arts patrons. Its mission statement includes the following sense of purpose: “Careful study '4* 8+F+):/54 54 :8++9 )25;*9 )2/,,9 '4* blades of grass, will give much-needed direction to a new generation of painters trying to capture the spirit of the landscape.

As an artist, she sketches and sculpts as well. But she also writes, and dabbles in music. Swenson is

the consummate student, with a voracious appetite to learn about all things. She is equally interested in nature and human nature; equally curious about faith and politics; equally passionate about art and science. Swenson’s painting is simply one expression of the things she learns as she pursues life with unbridled intensity and purpose. To talk with Swenson is to be enamored by her enthusiasm for all things. She’s not just an observer of light; she emanates it. And each conversation is steeped in culture, because Swenson has been deliberate in ex659/4- .+89+2, :5 /: "=+4954 F5':9 +'9/2? between topics and could quite naturally reference a modern rap song and quote classic literature in the same sentence. She’s studied the art in the most famous museums in the world, she sits at the feet of philosophers and teachers, and devours books like “Les Miserables,� a 1,500-page novel that she read in a week. In fact, one of the highlights of living in New York is the easy access she’s had to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or seeing the stage version of “Les Miserables� on Broadway. Swenson is in Siren for a three-week visit and to host an exhibit of her work at Tesora’s Event Center on Friday, Aug. 21, from 6-10 p.m. The show is titled “Roots & Wings: An Aspiring Artist’s Whirlwind Observations.� Swenson says the title encapsulates her view :.': B:.+ ,;8:.+8 -5 :.+ 358+ 96+)/E) 3? appreciation is for where I came from.� That notion, she explains, is inspired in part by a concept Henry David Thoreau lays out in his book, “Walden.� Because Swenson sums up her New York experience as “totally unexpected,� it seems appropriate to pay tribute to the artist and her work with a quote from the same book: B , 54+ '*<'4)+9 )54E*+4:2? /4 :.+ */8+)tion of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.�

At times, the story of the Brian Sandager/April Hayes family of rural Luck seems like a surreal board game gone amok, where every draw of a card brings a new setback, twist or tragic frustration to their simple game. While the Fates have seemingly thrown every possible roadblock against the family, it is through the tireless efforts of dozens of volunteers that they are trying to turn the corner after all the strange happenstance - and obituaries - making it into a story with as close to a happy ending as possible for a rural Luck family that has had anything but luck. But like many troubled tales, the responses and efforts to press on have made hope possible.

*:7 EK@ABE;E The family survived a bizarre incident in the fall of 2013, where an intoxicated man driving a van too fast around a corner tipped it on its side and skidded into the Sandager/Hayes home at 2570 170th St. in the Town of Luck. The van struck so hard, it literally turned the structure on its foundation and even disconnected the chimney. The driver of the van, Mark William Wright, 50, was not wearing a seat belt and was without a pulse when EMTs got his heart started again. However, he went into a coma and died 16 days later from injuries suffered in the crash. The impact with the house was so severe that the fam family was forced to move out as they considered their options. And while many people would simply write it off to insurance and hope for a good settlement, the family had taken unusual steps to obtain the home in 2012, borrowing money from family members to buy it from a bank after a foreclosure. In another twist, due to the home having a woodstove, they were unable to buy typical homeowner’s insurance. The van driver was not only uninsured, he didn’t even have a driver’s license and was not the registered owner of the van. The family was forced to rent a home and leave a tattered tarp over the hole in the house where the van struck as they sought a way to resolve the bizarre debacle. It was through a long series of connec connections that the family was put in touch with Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity, who had never dealt with lifting or moving a house, only building from the ground up.

That “new� road location placed the home in the CTH N right of way, which BD;> 3K7E would later come back and haunt the Sandager/Hayes situation as they sought permits for reconstruction. “They wouldn’t approve the permits to rebuild the home,� WRHFH Executive Director Patricia Kytola said with a shrug. “You can’t construct in the right of way.� Another card draw from the Fates that seemed to place

“Is it going to be a better house? Oh yes.� - Patricia Kytola the family back to zero. However, WRHFH was able to rethink their rebuilding plans to turn that ironic setback into a positive. “It changed the project completely,� Kytola said, as the home project drew attention from the Chippewa Valley

Housing Authority. They were able to apply a commu community development block grant to the changes, forwarding the money for razing the old home, adding a new basement, excavation, a new well and sewer, all farther away from the deadly corner. “It helped defray those (extra) costs,� Kytola said, estimating it took approximately $37,000 off the initial project cost and essentially deferred the extra work as a sort of second mortgage to the home’s new zero-interest WRHFH note. They were also able to recycle many of the old home’s still valuable pieces such as piping, systems and the like. “Is it going to be a better house? Oh yes,� Kytola said.

)F;>> A@7 ?AD7 FI;EF The plans for a new home were drawn up - moved to the north, out of the CTH N right of way, of course - and the old home was razed earlier this summer. It seemed 8571 - 4-<<E 1:05:3 C-? K:-88E 5: ?534@ -2@1> >;-0.8;/7? aplenty. As the construction project kicked off on June 1, with a foundation poured on June 5, a new card was drawn, it seemed, one that would let the family move forward. The excitement grew in the family for their new, new home. But then the Fates slapped the worst of all twists on the family’s already taxed plate. Literally days after work began on their new home, and the foundation concrete began to cure, it got even worse. Much, much worse. April Hayes, the matriarch of the family, passed away in her sleep on Sunday, June 7, leaving Brian and their children with a giant hole in their world and no clear direction on what to do next. Hayes was only 35 years old when she died, and it shook the entire family of people involved in the project. “They still don’t know why she died,� Kytola said, noting the autopsy was inconclusive. “It’s just a shame she passed away, a tragedy ... No matter how well you plan, God has his own plans.� As the home began to take shape, volunteers were un unsure if Sandager would even stay in the Luck area or if the home would even be necessary anymore. “Brian’s committed to stay here,� Kytola said with a smile, noting how well the couple’s young son, Jack, enjoyed going to school at Luck. “He likes it there. They like him there. They are staying there.�

*:7 ?AH7 8ADI3D6 In spite of April’s tragic passing, her widower, Brian, decided to move ahead with the new home, and as the renewed plans coalesced, the volunteer efforts have also increased, in kind. “People have really stepped up; they’ve donated food (for the workers), even L;C1>? 2;> @41 3->01: I E@;8- ?-50 So far, volunteers have shown up from groups as diverse as Polk-Burnett Coop Cooperative to numerous church volunteers.

The Mount Zion group even purchased studs for the walls, which they assembled in their church parking lot and raised with the help of a crane in June. “They made it a mission trip,� Kytola said. “They even made a donation to Hab 34;F3F 8AD G?3@;FK :7>6 3 9DAG@6 4D73=;@9 57D7?A@K >3EF G9GEF FA D74G;>6 F:7 63?3976 )3@ itat for Humanity and to the family.

This week, another unique group begins their work on the home. The Care-A Vanners group rolled into Polk County last weekend, staying in campers at the Polk County Fairgrounds and assisting the build efforts for two weeks. “They’re a group of volunteers associated with Habitat for Humanity that travels across the USA, helping C5@4 .A580?

Their son has struggled with the crash ever since, so because of the past, the new home has the bedrooms on the opposite side of the home, away from the highway. “Can you imagine being in your kitchen when there is a huge noise, the lights go out and everything falls out of the cupboards next to you? And the crash hit right where your bed was, right where you would have been sleeping,� Kytola said with a deep sigh. “He’s lucky if he ever gets to sleep again.� But the family and WRHFH have worked to overcome all the tragedy, all the twists, all the setbacks, bad decisions, unfortunate incidents and even the roadblocks thrown at them by archaic rules, to create a home worth living in for years to come. Kytola spoke fondly of the family as she talked about the special service held over the weekend to welcome the Care-A -Vanners group. They read scripture and recalled

In fact, the revised home plans have taken that issue into account, as Kytola notes that no less than three cars have slid into the ditch beside the home since that van crash, yet the highway department has refused requests to place a guardrail at the corner to protect the home and family.

A seemingly endless sand beach stretched as far as we could see along the shore, with soft white sand that would rival the best Caribbean beaches anywhere. Following our eve evening meal and refreshments we parked our folding chairs and bare feet in the sand at the edge of the water and watched the sun sink toward the western horizon. Despite the Caribbean likeness we were instantly reminded that we were somewhere much farther north. The water provided an instant chill when wading and we welcomed warm jackets to ward off the evening coolness. As we prepared to depart the following morning we dined on pancakes with maple syrup to celebrate our time at Pancake Bay. As we traveled ever north and westward along the northern shoreline of

Finally around a bend in the road there was a sign but it was just another one of the “Watch out for moose� signs that seemed to dot the landscape. No moose, just signs. Then it happened. As I was beginning to ratchet up the worry meter just a bit tighter, there was a sign for a small town and a gas station somewhere down a side road.

Community gardens planted at Centuria WRHFH homes CENTURIA - The National FFA Organization is pleased to announce that 138 chapters in 39 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands received an FFA: Food for All Grant. The Unity FFA, under the direction of Jeanne Alling, applied for and received $2,500 to support yearlong learning projects that address local hunger needs. Service learning is a method of teaching and learning that challenges students to research, develop and implement solu@5;:? @; 501:@5K10 :110? 5: @415> ?/4;;8 ;> community. Project ideas include but are not limited to developing a community garden to supplement fresh fruits and vegetables to the school or local food pantry, raising broilers and/or laying hens to provide fresh meat and eggs to local families, growing tilapia and other protein sources to be donated to the community and hosting community workshops on container and backyard gardening and other sustainable food practices. As a part of the 2015 grant, the Unity FFA has been building some raised vegetable gardens in the community. This program is conducted as a part of the nationwide food insecurity awareness program with the national FFA to address the hunger issue we are challenged with in our country. Currently there are 10 beds at the Unity School that produce vegetables for the salad bar and the

food-processing classes. Five beds were <8-:@10 5: "588@;C: -:0 KB1 ->1 .15:3 planted in Centuria in addition to the three planted at each of the Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity homes in Centuria. There are more beds being planted at the local VFW, Round Lake community and a few more at school. There were 138 schools from across the United States that received the grants. The grant sponsors include CF Industries, Elanco, Land O’Lakes, Main Source Financial Group, Nationwide Foundation, Sealed Air, Tractor Supply and Tyson. The three Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity homes were built on land acquired from Impact Seven; therefore, approval needed to be sought to be in compliance with the Declarant of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Centurian Estates dated May 22, 2009, and recorded by the Polk County Register of Deeds on June 1, 2009. The approval reads as follows: The Unity High School program will complete this landscaping work in a professional manner that will not disrupt the enjoyment of the adjacent homeowners. Upon meeting these criteria, Impact Seven approves and supports this project for the betterment of the homeowners and surrounding community. – from WRHFH

ST. CROIX FALLS – Twenty-eight new bike racks are being installed in St Croix Falls, in part due to the generous donations of local businesses. Fourteen blue and 14 green racks are being placed on sidewalks, parks, schools and businesses. The idea was created by Steve McCormack and Frank Lundeen, of Cyclova XC. With the consent of the local St. Croix Falls Council, donors were solicited with the idea both to promote biking in St. Croix Falls and to continue the marketing of St. Croix Falls as the “City of Trails.� This continues the effort that started with the new trail sign kiosks at three locations in St. Croix Falls. According to McCormack, “I first @4;A34@ -.;A@ 5@ C41: C-? @>E5:3 @; K3ure a way to celebrate and thank St. Croix -88? 2;> E1->? 2;> 9E 01:@-8 ;2K/1 pig roast came to mind, but this seems a lot more useful and helpful. My six racks seemed like a good starting point, and it just grew from there.� Nearly $9,000 was raised for the racks from these donors. Gratitude is extended to the St. Croix Falls School District, MarketPlace Foods, Cyclova XC, Johnson Motors, Steve Bont, +;;0E "/ >501 5;:5? !-C $2K/1 Central Bank, Tangen Drug, Dr. Cheryl Cermin Orthodontics, St. Croix Falls Lions Club, St. Croix River Association, Eagle Valley Bank, Barb’s Hair Care, St. Croix Falls BID District and the City of St. Croix Falls. - Information and photos submitted

Originally from Canton, Ohio, Baer is an alumnus of the University of Findlay and Illinois State University, from which he holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in directing. Baer served as managing director at Festival Theatre from 2002-2005 and either performed in, directed or produced over 20 plays and musicals.

vivid detail and revealed in perfect harmony. It’s as if Williams wrote four tragedies and set them in perfect alignment, each beginning and ending together in the same time and place around the same events.� “A Streetcar Named Desire� was written in 1947 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1948. The original Broadway production, directed by Elia Kazan, launched the career of previously unknown Marlon Brando, who portrayed the brutish Stanley Kowalski, a

Good plays come and go, but great plays are always in style,� Baer said. In addition to directing, Baer is also an actor, most recently appearing in Indiana in a Gary Shakespeare Company production of “Much Ado About Nothing,� a theater company of which Baer is a founding board member. Part of Baer’s effectiveness as a director is knowing what it’s like to be on the front line. “I think it is really wonderful for a cast to see their director participate in acting games. Young actors are often used to being directed with a ‘professorial distance.’ When they see the director pushing, exploring, taking risks, they are much more likely do the same in their own work.� “A Streetcar Named Desire� runs through Sept. 6.

In June, Cardwell was a navigator in the support team for solo cyclist Brian Toone, Cardwell’s son-in-law, in the 2015 Race Across America bike race that began on June 16 in Oceanside, Calif. “I got involved in it because I helped Brian before and wanted to see this .... my interest in this was seeing the dynamics of how this worked,� said Cardwell, who has his own share of adventurous hobbies.

Cardwell was navigator, taking turns with the other support team, for 500 miles of the race that

that bike skills are the most important thing, but the bike riding is really about 20 percent of the skills you need ‌ You need to have skills in terms of food preparation, physical endurance and organizing people,â€? he said. Cardwell now sees managing sleep deprivation as a very important task. While they weren’t doing the biking, Cardwell and the crew had to stay on their game, making sure Toone was hydrated, getting enough to eat and making sure they were staying on course while managing the stretches of construction along the way. “One of the things you had to learn to do is deal with boredom. We found things to do to keep us engaged in the race,â€? he said. They kept track of the food they gave Toone, kept the vehicles organized, logged the animals they saw and even stopped to help turtles cross the road. The exercises kept them in the present and hopefully ready when the worst happened, and it did. Early in the race Toone hit the pavement in a construction zone. “Brian tried to go from a part that was "D;EF;@7 3@6 D;3@ *AA@7 BAE7 I;F: 3>7 3D6I7>> "D;EF;@7RE 83F:7D A8 ):7>> #3=7 478AD7 F:7 rough to a smooth part and caught his EF3DF A8 F:7 (357 5DAEE ?7D;53 3D6I7>> E7DH76 A@ D;3@RE EGBBADF 5D7I 8AD I:3F ;E F:7 front wheel, and he went down on the side of his head and his shoulder and IAD>6RE >A@97EF F;?76 4;=7 D357 we were in an escort situation and there were cars and trucks behind us and anincluded battling the 120-degree heat in 31 (>-58 -:0 4-?

Margie Delores Ryan (Johnson)

Astrid Margrethe Ravenholt

Margie Delores Ryan (Johnson) was born on July 9, 1928, in Frederic, Wis., to Albin and Rose (Haumant) Johnson. Margie, along with her 11 brothers and sisters, grew up in the Town of Trade Lake in Burnett County. Margie often spoke fondly of her modest upbringing, where she learned the value of hard work and the importance of family. Among Margie’s warm memories were the house parties her parents hosted. Margie and her sisters, cousins, uncles and aunts would dance to her father’s cornet, guitar, banjo and fiddle. Margie attended primary schools at Spirit Lake, Bass Lake, Round Lake and Trade Lake and later attended Frederic High School. Social studies was her favorite subject. After high school she lived with an aunt in Du8A@4 "5:: -:0 C;>710 .>51LE 2;> @C; 19<8;E1>? '41 later worked as a nanny in Minneapolis, Minn. She also served stints at the Theater and Paris cafes in Frederic. On Feb. 28, 1949, Margie married James Ryan of Grantsburg, Wis., at St. Dominic’s Catholic Church where they became lifelong members. Margie and Jim settled in Frederic and had six sons, Stewart, Timothy, John, Greg, Jeff and Joel. After marriage Margie was employed at Duncan Yo-Yo in Luck, and was also a seasonal employee at Stokely Van Camps in Frederic. Whether she was working a part-time job or helping on the farm, Margie’s focus and dedication was always to her home and family. Although Jim and her sons did most of the farm work, no one could milk a cow (by hand) faster than Margie. In fact, the cows were always milked by hand until three of the sons had gone off to college. After her youngest sons started grade school, Margie was hired by the Frederic School District as a cook where she provided over two decades of faithful and loyal service until retirement. Hundreds of students enjoyed Margie’s warm smile, gentle kindness and her school lunch bread (made from scratch). In 1997 Margie and Jim sold their home in the country and moved to Frederic. Both Margie and Jim enjoyed their retirement by traveling extensively, and visiting and hosting relatives and friends and their grown-up children. Margie and Jim reveled in the successes of their children and grandchildren. After being married to Margie for over 60 years, Jim passed away in 2009.

Joanne was born in Minneapolis, Minn., on Jan. 11, 1932, daughter of the late Gilbert and Merle “Pate� (Best) Carlson. She resided in Minneapolis with her family, attending local public schools including North High School. On Sept. 3, 1959, Joanne married Ralph “Tex� Merrifield at Trinity Lutheran Church in Minneapolis. They have celebrated over 55 years of marriage together residing primarily in Minneapolis and Maple Grove. During the 1960s and 1970s, Joanne worked at Munsingwear and then at REO Plastics.

Joanne was raised with the belief to be home to raise her children and instill in them a strong sense of values and a good work ethic. Anyone who knew Joanne and Ralph knew of their great love for animals. They raised ducks in the pond that they had put in the back of The 40. They tried to draw other animals to the pond area as well. There are two turtles that live there now, both named Florence. As the years passed, Joanne and Ralph would foster kittens and puppies from the Washburn County Area Humane Society. Fostering the kittens and puppies was a big part of her life, and they meant the world to her. She also enjoyed raising baby squirrels, feeding the hummingbirds and deer. For several years, Joanne was active helping revive the Northland Community Center.

ne summer stood out in memory as the busiest and most fun ever. I put in several new perennial gardens, had lots of company and did lots of traveling. I worked hard and played hard and enjoyed every bit of it. The trouble is, I was just too busy for God. Oh, there’s nothing wrong in working hard and playing hard. But when I go for days hardly thinking about God, it ends up being a spiritual loss for me.
