Accused jailer makes first court appearance Darryl Christensen free on bond

Gary King | Editor BALSAM LAKE – Bond was set at $10,000 for Darryl L. Christensen, the former Polk County Sheriff’s Department 1=@@31B7=<A =4O13@ E6= AB/<2A /11CA32 =4 OD3 charges of felony sexual assault of an inmate.

Harrington said he had read the criminal complaint against Christensen and found probable cause to move the case forward to the next phase, which would be a preliminary hearing. In deciding a bond amount, Harrington took note of Christensen’s long local history, that he was married with three children and that he was currently working at a local manufacturing facility. Taking some of that into account, he set a $10,000 signature bond for the former jailer to remain out of the very jail where he worked for many years, and also where he is al:3532 B= 6/D3 A3FC/::G /AA/C:B32 OD3 43male inmates over an extensive period of time. As part of his bond, Christensen may have no contact with any of the victims, and will have a preliminary hearing on June 3, where the judge will determine if there is enough evidence by the state to bind him over for trial. Christensen is being represented by at-

torney Aaron A. Nelson, who noted the delicate nature of the charges and how he needed guidance on how to reference the victims during his future proceedings, all =4 E6=; /@3 =<:G 723<B7O32 0G B637@ 7<7tials. “There are rules about that,� Harrington assured, referencing issues to keep their names out of any future media coverage. Because of his local ties to the Polk County justice system, the case against Christensen is being handled entirely by outside authorities, such as Harrington and also including on the state’s end, where Dane County assistant district attorney Robert J. Kaiser is handling the prosecution, after an extensive investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Stabbing suspect pleads not guilty

Bond amount reduced for Cambridge teen accused of homicide

Greg Marsten | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The Cambridge, Minn., teen accused in the stabbing death of a St. Croix Falls man last month at Interstate State Park pleaded not guilty to the charges in a brief court hearing on Monday, May 4, before Polk County Judge Molly GaleWyrick. Levi Acre-Kendall, 19, was formally 16/@532 E7B6 O@AB 235@33 @319:3AA 6=;7cide for the April 14 stabbing death of Peter Kelly, 34, after a cross-river dispute that escalated to a face-to-face, ultimately violent, confrontation in a dark parking lot along the St. Croix River. Acre-Kendall’s arraignment also in1:C232 / @3?C3AB 4=@ / 0=<2 ;=27O1/B7=< reduction, which GaleWyrick adjusted down to $75,000, from her previous $125,000 amount. However, the judge did set several limitations on Acre-Kendall, should he be able to secure release until trial, including a 9 p.m. curfew, no weapon possession and typical no-contact orders for the other witnesses and parties in the case. He would also be required to have electronic monitoring, at his own cost, until his case is concluded. Acre-Kendall’s next court appearance is a status hearing, set for June 22, which may include details on a possible trial date, or if the two parties are addressing a possible plea agreement. He faces a possible 60 years in prison if convicted and remained in custody at the Polk County Jail at press time. /195@=C<2 According to the criminal complaint, the incident began early on the evening of April 14, when Kelly and a friend were

That was when they got into an argument of some sort with a group of young men on the Wisconsin side of the >/@9 E6= E3@3 /:A= OA67<5 1@3 !3<2/:: was among that group of teens. The argument escalated over the evening and into the dark, when Kelly and his friend left the Minnesota side of the park and drove to the other side of the river, where they confronted the others. That was when Kelly and Acre-Kendall became engaged in a heated confrontation, which led to Acre-Kendall stabbing Kelly in the chest. However, as emerged during the April 22 preliminary hearing, accounts of how the stabbing occurred are varied, as the judge heard several possible scenarios that led to Kelly’s death. One account had him being stabbed as the two either fought beside the car, with Acre-Kendall brandishing a knife to scare off or lunge at Kelly or whether Kelly tried to drag AcreKendall from the car, which was when he

was stabbed. Regardless of how it occurred, after the stabbing, Kelly and his friend returned to their car quickly, which is when Kelly buckled over and said he had been stabbed.

Grantsburg loses a community leader Services Saturday for David Ahlquist GRANTSBURG - David Ahlquist, a leader in the community of Grantsburg for more than two decades, both on the spiritual and educational fronts, died Friday, May 1, following a yearlong battle with cancer. He was 68 years old. Funeral services are set for this Saturday, May 9, at Grace Baptist Church, where he /D72 6:?C7AB served for more than 20 years in the positions of associate pastor and youth pastor. Ahlquist worked with youth in his church well into his 60s and immersed himself in local school activities, attending concerts and sporting events and showing up on occasion just to talk with students. “He would come to school at noon to eat and visit with students,� said Russ Erickson, a member of the Grantsburg School Board who served alongside Ahlquist. “He would come and play his trombone with students in the pep band during the volleyball and basketball seasons. He was a super-positive person with a true servant heart who would help anyone who had a need.� Ahlquist was a 22-year member of the school board, serving 17 of those years as board president. His tenure included a period of national attention a decade ago when the board’s decision to teach creationism alongside evolution stirred debate. Ahlquist defended the decision, saying he tried not to let his views on evolution or origins get in the way of his academic responsibilities, but noting that promoting only one view was indoctrination. He made no apologies for sharing his faith publicly and several years ago addressed graduates at commencement with a message emphasizing “family, friends and faith.� “Under David’s leadership, the Grantsburg School District enjoyed many accomplishments and success,� noted Superintendent Joni Burgin. She <=B32 A75<7O1/<B 7<1@3/A3A 7< ABC23<B achievement, national awards, a plethora of distance and online learning options, 1:1 technology, good teachers and staff, the launching of an online charter school, land purchases, the implementation of the school district core principals and more. Ahlquist was praised by fellow school board members and parishioners for being “talented but humble,� and someone who was a natural leader. “Dave was a great school board president, leading our district with care and compassion, promoting critical thinking and always striving to do what was best for our students in every situation,� said Dave Dahlberg, a member of the school board. “I only hope we can come close in continuing his legacy of straightforward, thoughtful, dedicated leadership.� Noted for his high level of preparedness for each school board meeting, Ahlquist was dedicated to the end, attending and taking notes at a school board meeting just days before his death. “He leaves a big hole on the school board, his church and the community, and will be greatly missed,� Erickson noted. Ahlquist is survived by his wife of 45 years, Carol, three children and several grandchildren. Visitation is set for Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. at Grace and one hour prior to the 11 a.m. funeral on Saturday. A full obituary appears elsewhere in this issue. - Gary King

Liquor license options discussed at Balsam Lake

Hours extended for use of amplifiers during Freedom Festival

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE — Drawing on historical precedence in Balsam Lake, the owner of The Captain’s Bar and Grill made a pitch to the village board Monday night, May 4, asking that his establishment be granted a permanent liquor license and the village’s reserve license go to whoever might purchase Paradise Landing. Wisconsin has two general types of liquor licenses, regular and reserve, for onsite alcohol consumption for places like bars and taverns. The number of regular licenses that are available in a municipality was set by the state in 1997, when a law was passed eliminating the creation of any new regular licenses. This means that a regular license is only available when a license-holder loses it or gives it up. At the same time in 1997, the state created reserve liquor licenses to allow a limited number of new bars to be opened. The number of reserve licenses available in a community is based on population, and Balsam Lake was given one such license. The state set a minimum fee of $10,000 for the reserve license. This license is not transferrable, so each new holder must pay the $10,000. The Captain’s, owned by Dave Robinson, applied for and received the reserve license last July. Robinson pointed out that the reserve license has changed hands several times. Thirsty Otter and Doc’s both held the reserve license in Balsam Lake prior to The Captain’s, with each of the three paying the $10,000 fee. In each case so far, he said, the business holding the reserve license was able to acquire a regular license when one of other bars changed hands or went out of business. The precedent has been set, he said, so he was asking that The Captain’s be given the regular license currently held by Paradise Landing. Paradise Landing closed earlier this year, and Robinson felt that the new owners, when sale of the business takes place, should pay the fee for the reserve license. Robinson told the board that his proposal would be in keeping with the last three uses of the reserve liquor license. He felt that, with the closing of Paradise Landing, the regular license should be available to an existing business. The village attorney, Terry Dunst of

Since the tractor pull could go until 8:30 p.m., the chamber was hoping to hold the dance from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. or so. With Monday’s decision, the chamber can once again apply for a one-time exception to the ordinance.

That really doesn’t compare with being on the cover of Life, the legendary magazine once read by millions of Americans throughout most of the last century. But then again, the photo never made it in to the magazine, instead surfacing as part of a display at the Luck Senior Center recently at a reunion of more than 50 former employees of the former Duncan Yo-Yo factory in Luck. The Leader published the photo as part of a story about the reunion but had no information on the identity of the woman in the photo or who had taken it until relatives of the woman contacted us this week. The story behind the photo offers a glimpse at the promise of fame and how P33B7<5 B6/B >@=;7A3 1/< 03

(63 ;GAB3@G E=;/< The woman on water skis is Pat VanPatten of Punta Gorda, Fla., a former Duncan Yo-Yo employee who was unable to attend the recent reunion. In the summer of 1961 she was Pat (Rommel) Nelson of Clam Falls, married to Lyle (Wally) Nelson, who passed away in 2009. As a 22-year-old shipping clerk at Duncan’s Luck plant in 1961, Pat was asked to take part in the Life photo shoot and was happy to oblige, putting her yo-yo and waterskiing skills to use for the photo that likely was the leading candidate for the cover. It was a hot story for its time. The yo-yo craze in the late 1950s and early 1960s was sweeping the country and world. Duncan Yo-Yo was in the midst of its blockbuster years in 1961, its annual sales of yo-yos jumping from just under $2 million to $7 million a year by 1962, due to a national TV ad campaign.

!/G 7A "/B7=</: !=B=@1G1:3 '/43BG E/@3<3AA !=<B6 MADISON — More than a half million Wisconsin residents have a motorcycle license or permit, and many of them have already started this year’s riding season. As motorcycles continue to grow in popularity among men and women of all ages, safety is a constant concern. Last year, 73 motorcycle riders and passengers died in ,7A1=<A7< B@/4O1 1@/A63A “May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, which is an opportunity to remind drivers to share the road and watch for motorcycles, especially at intersections and while making turns and lane changes,� says Greg Patzer, manager of the Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program. “Drivers can easily misjudge the speed and distance of an approaching motorcycle because of its smaller dimensions. To prevent crashes, drivers should check the position of a motorcycle at least two or three times before they proceed through an intersection or make a turn.� To protect themselves and others on the road, motorcyclists are legally required to have a motorcycle endorsement on their driver’s license. Nearly 42 percent of motorcyclists’ fatalities in 2013 involved riders who had not completed the safety training or skills test required to obtain a motorcycle endorsement on their license. “Too many people have been riding for years without a valid motorcycle endorsement on their driver license,� Patzer says. “It’s a serious problem especially for those who have not ridden a motorcycle for several years and are beginning to ride again. Members of the motorcycling community are aging, and the average age of a motorcyclist involved in a fatal crash increased from 30 years old in 1992 to 48 in 2012.� Motorcyclists can obtain their motorcy-

cle endorsement in two ways: • Pass a written test and a road test at a DMV service center. • Successfully complete an eligible rider education course that waives the requirement for the DMV road test. More information about rider education courses, from beginner to advanced, is available online at dot.wisconsin.gov/safety/vehicle/ motorcycle. To help promote rider education, the WMSP is teaming up with ABATE of Wisconsin, a motorcycle riders advocacy group, to distribute hang tags that dealers can display on their motorcycles in showrooms urging riders to get endorsed. In addition, the WMSP will use radio and TV public service announcements, billboards and social media to remind motorcycle riders and drivers to share the road. Electronic message signs on major highways this riding season will urge motorists to look twice for motorcycles.

Religious advice

'B/B3 />7B=: "3EA:3BB3@

Wisconsin religious leaders are

asking the Republican-controlled Legislature to reject Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal for selective drug testing of residents seeking food stamps or aid programs like unemployment compensation. In a letter, leaders of nine organizations questioned Walker’s plan and urged that it be rejected. ‘’We do so in our shared commitment to respect, compassion and fairness for all persons. In our respective religious traditions, poverty and joblessness are not indications of bad character. Thus, we do not believe it is just to craft policies that punish those who face these trials while also suffering from the illness of addiction,� the religious leaders said. “Nor is it fair to treat those who seek unemployment, health and nutrition assistance differently than B6=A3 E6= <332 O</<17/: 63:> E7B6 educational costs, starting a business or obtaining child care,� the letter continued. @C5 /0CA3 =11C@A /B /:: O</<17/: levels, the religious leaders contend, questioning whether it was fair to those seeking public assistance to be held to a higher standard of accountability “than the rest of us.� News accounts indicate that Walker’s drug-testing for the poor has been enthusiastically received by conservative audiences as he campaigns across America seeking to be the next president of the United States.

Have John Doe probes trashed the rule of law in Wisconsin? Fox News called it a “series of ter-

$1DD '?==5B The governor’s speeches often combine conservative political ideas with his religious background. Walker says he opens and closes every day in prayer. He also indicated daily reading of the book, “Jesus Calling.� “My relationship with God drives every major decision in my life,� the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has reported him saying. The drug-testing idea is being touted by the Walker administration as a way to see people get treatment and make sure they are employable. The religious leaders said they share the goals, but still have questions. “Still we must ask: will requiring drug screening and testing for public assistance applicants really advance those goals? We see many reasons to doubt it,� the letter said. “Subjecting applicants for federal assistance to drug screening and testing only because they’re dealing with poverty or loss of income is degrading and humiliating. It adds to the stigma of applying for public assistance,� it continued. If Walker’s plan were extended to parents, it “raises the possibility that

The faith leaders noted that solving drug addiction is neither a quick or easy process. ‘’Drug addiction is not simply a matter of moral weakness.

3.) Contrary to what one writer implied, bicyclists don’t use the Gandy for free; they are required to purchase an annual state trail pass for $20, which my wife and I have done for many years. There will always be some who try to get away without paying, but that also includes snowmobilers who don’t register their sleds and ride without the required nonresident or the new resident state trail pass. 4.) Despite what sound like reasonable requests for mixed use of the Gandy, the reality is that some uses are simply in-

Walker seeks applicants for student representatives MADISON – Gov. Scott Walker recently announced he is seeking applicants for a student representative on the Wisconsin Technical College System Board and for the traditional student representative on the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents. The Technical College System Board is the coordinating agency for the Technical College System. The board establishes statewide policies and standards for the educational programs and services provided by the 16 technical college districts that cover the state. The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents position is for a student

representative over the age of 18 to serve a two-year term. The representative must be enrolled at least half time in a University of Wisconsin institution, be in good academic standing, be a Wisconsin resident and be enrolled for their entire term. UW-La Crosse, UW-Madison and UWPlatteville have recently been appointed to the board, therefore no applications will be accepted from these institutions. In addition, applications will not be accepted from UW-Milwaukee as statute prohibits a student from UW-Madison and a student from UW-Milwaukee to serve at the same time. The board of regents is responsible for

establishing policies and rules for governing the system, planning to meet future state needs for collegiate education, setting admission standards and policies, as well as reviewing and approving university budgets. Regents are charged with establishing the regulatory framework within which the individual units are allowed to operate with as great a degree of autonomy as possible. Board members attend eight regular meetings per year, serve on special committees, serve as liaisons with at least two UW institutions and perform related duties. If you are interested in applying for either position, please submit a cover let-

ter, resume and the application found on Walker’s website, walker.wi.gov. Select the apply tab on the right side of the page. Complete application materials should be emailed to govappointments@wisconsin.gov =@ ;/7:32 B= %4O13 =4 B63 =D3@nor, Attention: Elizabeth Hizmi, appointments director, 115 East, State Capitol, Madison, WI 53707-7863.

Jarchow extends gratitude to Minnesota Rep. Davids for hard work MADISON — Last week, the Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill that, if passed by the Minnesota Senate and signed by Gov. Dayton, would clear the way to restoring tax reciprocity between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Rep. Jarchow, R-Balsam Lake, is grateful for the hard work and dedication of Min-

nesota Rep. Greg Davids, R-Preston, in attempting to restore tax reciprocity between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Under Davids’ proposal, the reciprocity arrangement would no longer hinge on Minnesota’s previous request for an extra $6 million. Jarchow said, “As Rep. Davids is aware,

this is not a partisan issue, it’s not even a Packer versus Viking issue, – but instead, it’s a commonsense issue that matters to thousands who live on one side of the river, but work on the other.� He added, “Filing your tax return is time consuming and costly enough. We don’t need to add to the complexity by re-

quiring a return in both states. I hope the Minnesota Senate will follow the House in passing this important bill, so our two great states can once again have tax reciprocity.� – submitted

A lot rides on revenue forecasts as budget decisions loom

Critics say state Republicans put too much stock in predictions, not enough in long-term planning  Â

Shawn Johnson | WPR News MADISON - To hear Gov. Scott Walker and other Republicans describe the state budget, there’s a lot riding on a new revenue forecast that could come out this week. If the forecast is good, lawmakers could reduce budget cuts to education. If not, the cuts will probably stick. But critics say it didn’t have to be that way, and there are better options going forward if Republicans would take them. Almost immediately after the governor unveiled his budget in January, Walker and other Republicans were downplaying proposed cuts, arguing the budget was based on revenue estimates that were too :=E )63 O</: 0C253B E=C:2 B63G >@3dicted, have more money to spend once new estimates were in.

The problem with squeaking by on revenue forecasts is that these days, they’re increasingly wrong. Brenna Erford worked on a study for Pew Charitable Trusts which found that in most states, revenue forecasting errors are bigger than they used to be. “Volatility is really just a fact of life,� said Erford. “There’s really nothing states can do to get rid of it.� Erford said there are lots of reasons for this. States are susceptible to global economic trends and more revenue comes from taxes on investment income, which goes up and down. When forecasts predict more revenue, she said, states are tempted to use it. That happened in Wisconsin last year when Republicans used a strong revenue estimate to cut taxes. The trouble is, that estimate was wrong. Todd Berry with the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance said the state would have been better off if Walker and lawmakers had done nothing at all. “We’d be sitting on over a $1 billion surplus,� Berry said. “So that election year decision based on revenue estimates — that incidentally turned out to be wrong,

to be too high by about half a billion dollars — that decision really set the table for everything that’s happened since.� Now that these new estimates are almost here, the governor’s tone has changed. He’s starting to downplay them, suggesting that if they’re not as good as hoped, some budget cuts might be inevitable. That idea bothers Jon Peacock, budget expert with the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families. “Well, that’s patently untrue,� Peacock said. “I mean I really can’t think of a time when it would be so easy, relatively speaking, to avoid much of the cuts.� For example, Peacock said Republicans could delay the full phase-in of a tax credit they passed for manufacturers that has run into estimate problems of its own. It was originally supposed to cost the state about $100 million this year. Instead, its cost more than double that. “So rather than continuing to phase that in and having this ballooning cost of a very ineffective tax break for corporations, let’s just freeze that in place at the current level,� said Peacock. But Republicans say they like that tax

Newsprint is so yesterday. At least that’s the conventional wisdom these days. Seems like we’ve been hearing the requiem for the good old newspaper for more than a decade now. And 2009 was a particularly bad year, maybe the worst all around, for print journalism. The Rocky Mountain News, winner of four Pulitzers since 2000, went under. Seattle’s biggest newspaper shuttered its print addition and limped along as an Internet operation. Detroit’s two largest newspapers cut back to three days a week.

Kind of surprising given that the death knell for newspapers has been sounded several times in the recent past. It appears, to paraphrase Twain, that reports of the newspaper’s death may have been premature. Since the dawn of the digital age, newspapers have morphed into many different forms. Virtually all papers, including the one you’re reading, now have an e-edition, and the advent of apps allows you to read the news right there on your smartphone (full disclosure - I don’t own one but do read a lot of news online), but, geez, that print sure is small and the temptation is great to read a few lines and then move on to something else. Bits and bytes do not necessarily a story make. So it is that many of us still like the experience of holding the newspaper in our hands, the tactile feel of it, the ease with which you can turn those pages back and forth and, of course, the size of the thing. And none of those distracting pop-ups and moving frames with their sudden bursts of sound. Of course, in the newspaper business, it’s all about ad revenues and again it’s surprising to discover that revenue from print editions nationally continues to far outpace that of its online counterparts by a factor of just under 6 to 1.

Some local newspapers - we’re talking small-town or rural, mostly week weeklies - have seen their readership decline though as you might expect, they’ve done better than most of their big-city cousins in the digital age. In fact, many continue to thrive because, it seems, B63G O:: / 27443@3<B <7163 B6/< B63 075 city dailies. Judy Muller, a journalism professor at the University of Southern California, traveled the country visiting small-town newspapers and eventually wrote a book about them. She discovered a strong bond between these local papers and the communities they serve, “a wonderful crucible of telling the truth, weighing that against living with the people you’re writing about. ‌ If you leave town, and you subscribe online, things that might seem 7<A75<7O1/<B B= A=;3=<3 =CBA723 =4 / small town, every birth and death, mean something.â€? In the U.S., there are approximately 7,500 of these community newspapers in existence. A 2010 survey of their readers - folks like you and me - by the University of Missouri at Columbia found that more than 75 percent of the respondents read all or part of their local newspaper every week. Readers talked about the personal touch and the intimacy that small-town newspapers bring to an area, something lacking in the big-city papers. Muller also noted this in her book, using the example of the rural Washington town of Concrete whose local paper nearly went out of existence a few years back. When a young outsider arrived on the scene to

save the day, “People were - I’m not kidding - crying and hugging him. And the paper wasn’t that good, frankly, but what it represents to those folks who are so isolated ... is really powerful.� Gary King, who has been the editor of the Leader since 1983, echoed that sentiment. “I’m pretty sure small news newspapers are still vital to the communities they serve but not so sure they are as healthy as they should be economically and circulation-wise right now,� King observes, adding that some papers in our part of the state have seen a drop of 30 percent or more in their circulation in the past 10 years. The print edition of the Leader actually saw a 7-percent increase in its readership from 2003 to 2012, with a slight decline in circula circulation since then. E-edition subscribers number somewhere in the vicinity of 200 currently with “hits� in a given week averaging two to three times that number. “It’s an interesting time,� King said. “I hope I’m still alive in 20 years to see how local news is delivered. But I’m pretty sure no matter how it’s delivered, local news will be in demand.� I suspect King is correct in his sur surmise. I’m betting that, if I’m still alive in 20 years, I won’t live in a world devoid of local newspapers. A far more likely scenario, to my way of thinking, would be continued slow increases in the circulation of the best of the small-town weeklies. They play a vital role in a rural area like ours. A good local news newspaper is more than just a reporter of the news. It’s a forum for local concerns, a chronicle of the life and times of a community.

Adam Jarchow spent the day working at Reed’s Sunnyside Marina in Balsam Lake for his Working With You tour. He spent his time with Sunnyside’s staff installing docks and boat lifts in an anticipation of boating season. Purchased in 1973 by the Reed Family, Sunnyside Marina is a family-owned business which is now run by Jeff Reed, second generation. The company employs a total of 15 employees at the peak of each season. Reed had this to say about Jarchow’s visit, “We really enjoyed having Rep. Jarchow working with us on Saturday. I was impressed that a state representative was willing to go out and get dirty doing the hard work that his constituents do on a daily basis. He is welcome back anytime.� Jar Jarchow commented on his time at Sunnyside Marina, “It was a pleasure to spend some time with Sunnyside’s staff outside in the sun installing docks and boat lifts

on Saturday. The boating season came quick, and Reed’s crew had to work hard to get ready for the summer. Their work ethic is what makes Northwest Wisconsin great. The tourism industry relies heavily on companies like Sunnyside Marina, and it is my hope that our area sees record growth in the tourism industry this year. We are off to a great start. Thanks so much to Jeff Reed and his team for letting me give them a hand this weekend. I hope they have a successful year and continue to grow.� - submitted

Lengthy prison time for sex offender

Osceola man’s history of child sexual assaults leads to decades in prisonÂ

“It was nothing but a cold, calculating plan to find children ... to victimize.�

Greg Marsten | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – A 26-year-old convicted sex offender from Osceola will spend at least the next 23 years in prison for sexually assaulting at least three teen girls, one possibly as young as 13 years old, over a period of time while he was on probation for similar crimes. Details of the charges against Justin D. Ogdahl, Osceola, emerged one year ago, and he was already a convicted sex offender when he was charged in April 2014 with three felony counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child under 16, with enhancers as a repeater, as well as a misdemeanor charge of sex with a child, also with a repeater enhancement. A March 2015 plea agreement led to prosecutors dismissing one felony count of sexual assault, but with guilty pleas to the remaining counts, Ogdahl still faced a potential of over 50 years of incarceration on the remaining three counts. Polk County Circuit Court Judge Jeffery Anderson took that history into account at Ogdahl’s sentencing hearing on April 30, where he imposed a sentence over four times what was being recommended by the Polk County District Attorney Dan Steffen. After hearing from the prosecutor, defense and also after hearing impact statements from two of his victims, Anderson imposed a sentence of 10 years in prison on each felony, served consecutive to each other, on top of the current three years he is currently serving for previous convictions and breaking the terms of a previously deferred conviction. The charges were based on Ogdahl admitting to having sexual relations with three young girls over several years, including while he was on probation for previous, similar sex crimes.

- Polk County District Attorney Dan Steffen He will be just under 50 years old upon his release in 2038, with extended supervision for two decades after that.

That way, new supervisors will have had a year to learn about the county, and all supervisors will be able to revise the plan before the next election. “The board establishes a vision that leads to the county strategy,� Frey said. “That vision leads to a multiyear budget. It says where we are going. It leads to action plans.� “We need to be a visionary board,� Jepsen said. “Different things face us now. We need to know our role. We need to seek ideas, to ask what the public wants us to do.� The executive committee decided to plan a committee of the whole session, possibly in June or July, to revise the strategic plan.

=C<BG /2;7<7AB@/B7=< The main topic of the meeting Tuesday was the annual committee evaluation of the county administrator. Before the committee met in closed session to do its performance review, Frey delivered a report on 2014 goals, 2015 status of those goals and 2016 proposed actions. The detailed four-page report and the presentation and comments on the report was a rapid and thorough overview of Polk County’s gov-

ernment today. Citizen-centered government led off Frey’s presentation. He said a goal for the county is one-stop shopping, a singleentry point for all the residents who want county services. Frey said there should be no wrong door. A single intake for health and social services will be coming to meet that goal. He said the county is looking at both physical and technology plans to aid access to other departments and is scheduling staff training on customer service. The county should improve its reporting systems so the public can measure the real performance of the departments, not 8CAB O</<17/: :7<3 7B3;A 0CB 7<4=@;/B7=< on what things really cost, what is the outcome of programs, what money spent gets. Frey said this involves both developing budgets to meet needs, improving performance measures, and reporting those results for better program evaluation and understanding. He said these steps will improve the supervisors and committees in their policy making and budgetary analysis.

75 3;>:=G;3<B 16/<53A Big employment changes are coming to Polk County government. Frey said nine of the 13 highest level employees are nearing retirement age and the potential turnover from retirement extends to 22 key positions, and a third of the entire county workforce. He said the county is looking at everything it can do to postpone those retirements and has implemented market-

based compensation to keep present employees and attract new ones. Frey said it E7:: 03 274O1C:B B= 53B >3=>:3 B= ;=D3 B= Balsam Lake. So the county is developing the management skills of the present employees and helping them advance. Frey said the plan is to motivate and keep the best employees. Polk County has a low turnover rate from employees leaving for other employment, 3 percent when the norm is 6 to 8 percent. But it still faces the very high retirement rate. Frey said hiring newer and younger employees is expensive but wants to slow down retirement. He said the county is looking at keeping some retirees on in part-time or temporary positions. Frey said the county is also looking at what a younger workforce with families wants. The county is building the future management team, is working toward multiyear budgets, and is developing better tools for evaluation and measurement of programs, Frey said. For the present, Frey added that the county has a sustainable budget for 2015 with no levy increase for the fourth straight year, there is a plan to pay off significant debt early, the county has maintained a stable workforce, all county >@=>3@BG 7A 7<D3<B=@732 4=@ B63 O@AB B7;3 and there are memoranda of understanding with most outside agencies.

At every school, except for the expensive private ones, Berchelmann was warned against enrolling her daughter early. They said Anna Mary might be stunted psychologically and emotionally because of it. After hearing the same thing over and over, Berchelmann began to worry that she’d have to keep Anna Mary in nursery school for another year. “And we really didn’t want to do that,� says Berchelmann, a clinical pediatrician at the St. Louis Children’s Hospital. “If you give them that extra year of nursery school, what you’re doing is taking away that year from their young adulthood,� she added. Schools said if Anna Mary waited a year, she would be the oldest in her class and could excel socially, athletically and academically. But Berchelmann wasn’t buying it. This all happened in 2012. In a blog post, Berchelmann explains that she didn’t want everything to come easy for Anna Mary. She felt it was important for her daughter to learn that success comes from hard work and the occasional struggle. There’s research supporting her intuition. A 2006 study found that the youngest students in a given 1:/AA /B O@AB 2= 7<2332 AB@C55:3 B= 933> C> CB /A B7;3 5=3A on, differences in achievement fade away. Another study, from 2012, found that the youngest students from a given cohort begin outperforming their classmates by the time they reach college. The researchers theorized that their youth turned from a disadvantage to an advantage. They believed these youngest students had developed grit, persistence and an ability to handle adversity at an early age, which paid off down the road. Eventually, after visiting 10 schools, Berchelmann found a private kindergarten through the family’s church that would take Anna Mary. She’s now in third grade, young for her age, and according to Berchelmann is “at, or above, state standards for third-grade math.� And, her mother says, she’s “socially precocious.� Researchers acknowledge, though, that there are no good numbers — and no metrics for determining — how many students there are like Anna Mary: bright, brainy, bored and ready to be challenged.

Education researchers generally refer to them as “accelerated.� It’s a catch-all term to describe students who’ve either entered kindergarten early, grade-skipped or taken single subjects above grade level. Part of the hype comes from how uncommon it is. Researchers estimate no more than 2 percent of students fall into these categories. But two new reports in the last few weeks argue that there should be a lot more of this acceleration, and that states and school districts often get in the way. Researchers at the University of Iowa cite one pervasive, unsubstantiated myth: That jumping ahead is bad for students, even high-achieving ones. There’s a powerful belief that placing younger children in classes with older, larger, more developed kids may do more harm than good. Their report, “A Nation Empowered,� summarizes decades of research pointing to the positive impact acceleration can have on some students. “There’s this huge paradox out there where we know acceleration works, but we have actual policies against it,� says Susan Assouline, one of the authors. The Iowa research comes on the heels of another report, from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, that cites how state policies hinder the advancement of low-income, gifted students.

#?31< @B?:53D 144B5CC5C M79B< G1BCN TAYLORS FALLS, Minn. - A free Community Cares workshop for adults will provide an orientation to a local pilot project that aims to reduce relational aggression between middle school girls. The workshop will provide an overview of AKA Sisterhood as well as an introduction to the types of activities girls engage in as part of this out-of-school project. The workshop will be held Monday evening, May 11, at the Taylors Falls Community Center from 6 to 9 p.m. “Relational aggression is the most common way that girls bully other girls,� says project co-founder Julie Neuman. “Unfortunately, our society seems to accept that it’s normal or natural for girls to tease, gossip, create cliques, exclude or taunt other girls. Our program focuses on 1@3/B7<5 / >=A7B7D3 1:7;/B3 E63@3 57@:A >@/1B713 1=<O23<B kindness, recognize RA, and make the personal choice not to behave in those ways.� Studies show that relational aggression among girls can start very young with gossiping, teasing, forming cliques and other behaviors which harm both target and aggressor, yet it begins to peak and become more damaging through upper elementary and middle school. Eliminating relational aggression may seem daunting, yet doing so will create a culture of support needed during the preteen, tween and teen years, now increasingly crowded with incidents of low self-compassion, depression, hopelessness, at-risk behavior, damaging acts of exclusion (not belonging) and even suicide among teenage girls. Furthermore, unresolved relational aggression follows many girls into their adult lives, where subtle bullying behavior can continue and keep women from being all they can be. “The central goal of AKA Sisterhood is to establish a strong foundation for the future,� says Kim Murphy, cofounder. “We are piloting this project over the course of B63 <3FB OD3 G3/@A /<2 6=>3 B6/B B63 >@=5@/; 031=;3A a permanent addition to the community.

Denim Day 2015 Sherill Summer |Staff writer SIREN - The idea of using denim jeans to raise awareness of sexual assault has been around since 1998 when the Italian Supreme Court overturned the rape conviction of a 45-year-old driving instructor who raped an 18-year-old driving student. The reasoning behind the decision was that the victim wore very tight jeans and must have assisted in removing them, making the act consensual. The ruling sparked widespread protest, and women started wearing jeans in solidarity. The Italian Supreme Court has since overturned this O<27<5 /<2 B63@3 7A <= :=<53@ / K23<7;L 2343<A3 7< rape, but 27 years later, jeans, especially jeans that carry a message, have become a tool to raise awareness of sexual assault. A national Denim Day has been established, and in 2015, it fell on Wednesday, April 29.

Throughout the month of April, jeans, even pint-size jeans, were on display at the government center to raise awareness of a topic many prefer not to think about, but that, unfortunately, happens. Here are some of the statistics on sexual assault: Sexual assault happens nearly every two minutes, totalling over 237,000 sexual assaults a year. Of these, 60 percent are not reported to the police, and about two-thirds of assaults are committed by someone known to the victim. Forty-four percent of victims are under the age of 18, and 80 percent of victims are under the age of 30. < B63 3D3<B =4 / A3FC/: /AA/C:B B63 O@AB B67<5 B= 2= 7A call 911 or a local police or sheriff’s department. Next

go to a hospital for a sexual-assault exam. Do not take a shower or brush hair before the exam. Do not wash or throw away clothes worn during the assault, but take them with to the exam. Evidence can be held for later use whether or not the assault is reported. There are ways friends and family can support a victim. Listen to them without judging. Be patient and loving, and let them know the assault was not their fault. Don’t try to investigate the situation, but encourage them to seek medical help and talk with a counselor or advocate who understands the trauma of sexual assault. And above all, remember there is no excuse and never an invitation to rape.

Along with being sponsored by CyclovaXC in St. Croix Falls and getting help in training from Swiontek, she said she has a lot of support from family and friends. Her two oldest children are also currently involved in cross country and track, and enjoy running as well. Along with her most recent victory in Eau Claire, Braund is the reigning champion of the Gandy Dancer Trail Marathon, which is held in Luck in October. She said she hopes to compete in that race, as well as Grandma’s Marathon once again. “I’m told I’m crazy and I’m told that I’m not normal, but I enjoy it,� Braund said.

I’m really proud of the improvement these guys have showed the past couple of weeks and hope to see continued improvement as we move forward.

Managerial changes After 2014’s monumental late-season collapse, it was no secret that Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was on a short leash in 2015. Last weekend, Brewers brass finally pulled the trigger, firing Roenicke and naming Wisconsin native Craig Counsell as new skipper. At 8-18, the Brewers have the worst record in baseball. Meanwhile, St. Paul native, former U of Minnesota ballplayer, and World Series champion Paul Molitor appears to have our Minnesota Twins on the right track. As this week’s Leader goes to press, the Twins have won six straight games. What a difference the same day makes Trout anglers who dejectedly walked away empty-handed Saturday morning should have tried again later in the day.

Passing of a legend Pro-wrestling fans from throughout the Upper Midwest were saddened to hear of the death of 10-time World Champion Laverne Clarence Gagne. Of course, we knew him as “Verne.� Gagne passed away on April 27 at the age of 89. Gagne wrestled professionally from the late 1940s into the 1980s. Although pro-wrestling was always more shtick than sport, somehow Gagne was right up there with the likes of legitimate athletes like Harmon Killebrew and George Mikan when it came to Twin Cities-area sports heroes. And every time Verne would interrupt his Saturday evening interview to give his sales pitch for his snake oil vitamin concoction called Gera Speed, thousands of youngsters would secretly hope that mom and dad would write out a check for $2.95 and order a bottle. R.I.P., Champ.

SCRMC’s new clinic on Main Street to offer specialty services as well as the usual Mary Stirrat | Staff writer FREDERIC — The new St. Croix Regional Medical Center clinic in Frederic will open its doors Tuesday, June 9, with a public open house during Frederic Family Days. Last week the Inter-County Leader was given a peak inside the new facility. The $3.1 million facility will boast 12 exam rooms, two procedure rooms, and a physical therapy area with a common area and two private treatment rooms. On-site X-ray and lab facilities are also part of the new facility. A retail pharmacy, accessible to the public from a Main Street entrance or from within the clinic, anchors the 14,250-square-foot building on the northeast end. Also with access from the street or through the clinic is an audiology area, complete with sound booth, that makes hearing screenings and hearing aids available for adults and children. At the northwest corner of the clinic is a family exam room, with room enough for one or both parents plus the children. The reception area, located off the main entrance on the U.S. Bank side of the building, also has a spacious children’s area. Specialty services will include oncology and chemo chemoA52?.=F 6;3B@6<; D6A5 . @B6A2 <3 NC2 A?2.A:2;A @=.02@ and on-site chemo prep. This will enable people living closer to Frederic than St. Croix Falls to take advantage of services without needing to drive so far. “With over 670 visits from patients north of Luck,� said Jessica Minor, marketing manager for St. Croix Regional Medical Center, “we believe we will save the patients and their caregivers at least 30,000 miles by offering che chemotherapy/infusion services in Frederic.� Other specialty services include sports medicine, podiatry and pulmonology. There are two treatment rooms in the new clinic, where procedures such as outpatient podiatry and colposcopies can be done. A mobile truck port on the south side of the building will allow for MRI, CT, mammography and PET scanners. St. Croix Regional Medical Center used local contrac-

The medical center is excited to be able to offer both the new and ongoing services in a new, patient-friendly and environmentally friendly facility, she added. During the public open house on the Saturday afternoon of Family Days, which will be June 20, members of the public will be able to take tours of the facility and take part in a mini health fair.

HSUS is the organization that is re responsible for many of the undercover videos that claim gestation crates for pigs are a form of animal cruelty. The investigator said, “I didn’t even know what a gestation crate was before I worked for HSUS. I learned in training what it was. The picture was painted to me that it was a horrible place they put pigs and they can’t move at all, all they want to do is go out and play with other pigs.� But after working on the farm, he started to see why the crates were necessary. “When they’re not in gestation crates A52F N45A 2.05 <A52? +6A5 42@A.A6<; crates they can’t bite each other, they can’t get to each other like that.

A kind, soft smile adorned her pleasant face. It was 1945, near the end of World War II. I was 6 years old.

As I told her I had just learned about that sweet little girl in picture study, she took it down and handed it to me. “Then you should have it!â€? she quipped. After Grandma passed away my aunt gave me the four saucers and sauce dishes. How I love these precious things from my grandma, the picture, a reminder that she lived in an “Age of Innocence,â€? with her kind, gentle manner.

Objectively, HSUS should be for gestation crates if they’re honestly, truly for animal welfare.â€? So what’s the real agenda of HSUS regarding the use of gestation crates? “If gestation crates were banned, as HSUS would like them to be, farmers would have to have less pigs, their prof profits would go down. That in turn would make the price of pork go up. There’s a reason why they want to push that agenda so bad, because of how devastating it would be to the pork industry.

and thought he just might have merited an increase in his company shares. McTavish said no. MacKenzie then formed his own company, with another Montreal merchant group but most of his confreres ended up being ex-North West men as there were no other experienced personnel available. The company’s name was the New North West Company and it was as confusing then as now, so soon was changed to XY to prevent total chaos.

appy Mother’s Day - Are you ready when your mom needs more help? Frequently, we receive a gift from someone in memory of their mom. And each time I say a silent prayer of thanks that my mom is still with us. I cannot imagine the grief of losing your mamma – and I don’t want to imagine it yet. If the longevity in our family genealogy plays out, I have 20-30 years with her still. Maybe, if I’m quick about it, there will be enough time to thank her for everything she’s done for me. AM@ 163N0B9A A< 6:.46;2 52? ?296.;A <; <A52?@ 3<? ?612@ to town. She’s very independent, mobile and too full of energy for me to keep up! No, seriously, a few summers ago I caught her on a very tall ladder painting the peak of the roof area of the house some 20 feet up in the air – with no one holding the ladder. She’d painted the whole house by herself! But someday, her independence will have to change and she’ll have to rely on someone else to drive her, like me. So I’ve decided that my professional goal is to make sure all Polk County moms will have access to Interfaith Caregiver’s services when needed. I have several years to create the absolute, most-perfect development plan so that my mom can get where she wants to go when the time comes. In the meantime, we also have a 1BAF A< :.82 @B?2 2C2?F<;2 29@2M@ :<: .;1 1.1 42A to where they want to go. Our program, staff, volunteers and donors do important work helping seniors to age in place at home. That’s why we’re so thankful for the amazing results of giveBIG.

You may volunteer for as little as a couple of hours per month to helping with something every other day.

Red Cross seeks blood donors in weeks leading up to summer POLK COUNTY - The American Red Cross asks eligible donors to help ensure blood is available for patients in need by giving blood in May before the busy summer season kicks in. Blood and platelet donations often decrease when regular donors are vacationing and school is out of session, but the need for blood is constant. Donors are needed in the weeks leading up to summer to help alleviate this seasonal decline. Donors of all blood types, especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative, are needed to help ensure blood is available for patients this spring. Those who come to donate blood between May 23 and May 25 will receive a limited-edition Red Cross-branded RuMeÂŽ tote bag, while supplies last. There are several opportunities to donate blood in Polk County this month. The Red Cross will be in Centuria Wednesday, May 27, from noon to 6 p.m. at the Fristad Lutheran Church, 501 Hwy. 35; in St. Croix Falls Wednesday, May 27, from 12:30-6:30 p.m. at American

Partnering to provide hunting opportunities to handicapped hunters Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer GRANTSBURG – The Burnett County Chapter of Whitetails Unlimited, Harvey Allen Outdoors and the Wisconsin DNR are partnering on a project to provide handicapped hunters access to a permanent wheelchairaccessible deer stand. Grantsburg-based Harvey Allen Outdoors will build the stand, which will meet Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. Features of the stand include double-pane windows, a metal roof and a 12-foot wheelchair ramp. Food plots will be supplied to attract wildlife and enhance hunting success. The stand, to be completed by June 1, will be located in the Amsterdam Sloughs Wildlife Area in the designated handicapped hunting area west of the Burnett County Airport in Siren. At the Saturday, May 2, Burnett County Whitetails Unlimited Chapter spring banquet, President Don Chell and treasurer Greg Peer held up a check for $4,000 to be used toward the completion of the stand.
