Peggy Ryan hired as new SCF high principal

Former SCF teacher was principal in Siren

by Greg Marsten Leader staff writer ST. CROIX FALLS – Peggy Ryan is the new principal at St. Croix Falls High School and may be a familiar name to many locals, as she was the former Siren High School principal and was also a former St. Croix Falls teacher. Ryan replaces Peter Nusbaum, who resigned after seven years recently to pursue other education options.

St. Croix Falls is a much larger district than Siren, and while she has great things to say about that district, she is excited about the move. “In a smaller district, like Siren, you have a lot of hats

to wear,� she said. “(St. Croix Falls) and really all districts in the state, have many of the same challenges: to keep kids learning as much as they can.� Ryan sees great things ahead for St. Croix Falls and said she was thrilled to be a part of making that future possible. “(Like all districts), your achievement needs to be a match with what your potential is. We all need to keep pushing hard to get the most effective education in the classroom, period,� she said. “But again, I consider this the opportunity of a lifetime and can’t wait to dig in!�

Principal’s departure prompts changes to administrative staffing by Jean Koelz Leader staff writer SIREN—After just two years as high school principal at Siren, Peggy Ryan has resigned to accept a position at St. Croix Falls. Ryan was initially installed as a K-12 principal, replacing two principals in an effort to save money. Within a year it became clear that Siren would have to return to a two-principal model due to all the new requirements being imposed by the state’s Department of Instruction. So, last year, the school hired Sarah Johnson to serve as principal at the elementary level. Ryan’s departure has given district Administrator Scott Johnson and the school board an opportunity to rethink administrative staffing again and, within a week of Ryan’s announcement, the board met twice, Wednesday, June 26, and Friday, June 28, to solidify big changes for the coming school year. PreK-6 Principal Johnson has been reassigned to the sevenththrough 12th-grade principal position. The resulting vacancy at the elementary level has now been posted as a half-time position. The biggest change is that Siren will be adding a full-time dean of students. According to Superintendent Johnson, “We have considered a dean of stu-

It’s a concept we have discussed over time.� A dean of students, called an assistant principal at some schools, is largely responsible for student discipline, bus safety and truancy. Johnson explained, “This position will address two primary purposes. First, it will address student disciplinary matters very swiftly, such as bullying, harassment and classroom interruptions. Second, it will free up some of the principals’ time so they can better meet the new state mandates

regarding curriculum, educator effectiveness and teacher evaluations.� By coincidence, Principal Johnson had just stressed in her report to the board at the June meeting how time-consuming all the new mandates have been for her, claiming that they will only become more so when the school moves beyond the pilot stage and the requirements are fully enforced over the next one to two years. To further support the principals, Siren will be doing more at the guidance counselor level. The school will have a full-time high school guidance counselor and a part-time elementary counselor. This shift is intended to help the principals spend more time in the classrooms and focus on other priorities. Teachers and other staff members have had little time to respond to the news. Administrator Johnson sent an all-staff email outlining the changes but hasn’t yet received any feedback, although he expects that staff and parents, alike, will be relieved that there will be a stronger administrative presence throughout the school. “This will be a very positive change, overall, in our district,� Johnson concluded. “Ultimately, the impact will be a better school climate and improved learning for

She also has 22 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren, two greatgreat-grandsons and another one on the way. “I’ve had a full life, a really full, pleasant, good life, a lot of ups and downs. You know, every rose bush has thorns and so ‌ it’s not perfect, but it’s good,â€? Pat said. During her younger days, she was a Sunday school teacher and youth leader for her church, but also queen chairman for the Balsam Lake queen pageants, which she helped lead for about seven years. “We put on a program down at the beach and that’s where we crowned the queen, counting the commercial club votes and the study club votes.â€? She can still remember the many times where performers and audience members were forced to swat at mosquitoes as the program got under way at dusk. She’s also hopeful that some of those former queens will be at the Freedom Fest activities this weekend, perhaps to share some stories and laughs. As queen chairman, Pat was a stickler for chewing gum. “If they were chewing gum, I’d put my hand out and make them spit their gum out,â€? she said. “Maybe I should chew gum and have them catch me chewing it like I did to them. That would be funny,â€? she said with a laugh.

Voters respond to Severson survey MADISON – Last month, state Rep. Erik Severson sent out over 12,000 surveys to voters in the 28th Assembly District. Voters were asked to share their thoughts on a variety of issues including voter ID, school choice expansion and reforming the FoodShare program. “This is another great way for people in the community to share their thoughts on a variety of issues,� said Severson. “In addition, the survey allowed people to request several Department of Tourism materials that help to promote Wisconsin’s great tourism industry, including

Wisconsin’s Summer Events and Recreation Guide.� The survey data showed overwhelming support for reforming the FoodShare program of the responses, 87 percent indicated they agree that FoodShare recipients should be required to purchase healthier food options. When asked about expanding the school choice program statewide, a provision approved by the Legislature in the 2013-15 budget, 66 percent of people indicated their support. In addition, voters overwhelming supported the voter ID program, with 82 percent of people

wanting the state to protect the integrity of elections and prevent voter fraud. “Fortunately, we have been able to address all three of these programs that a majority of voters here in the 28th District support,â€? said Severson. “Thank you to everybody who took the time to send their survey in, and I would encourage anybody who still has their survey sitWLQJ RQ WKHLU NLWFKHQ WDEOH WR Ă€OO LW RXW DQG share their thoughts with me regarding these important issues.â€?

Assembly Bill 110, which requires that 67 percent of FoodShare dollars be used to purchase healthy foods, was approved by the State Assembly with bipartisan support. Included in the budget is an expansion of the school choice program statewide with a cap of 1,000 students in the second year of the biennium. IURP WKH RIĂ€FH RI 5HS 6Hverson

Evers optimistic as he begins second term as state superintendent

MADISON — State Superintendent Tony Evers shared his optimism for the future of public education as he took the RDWK RI RIĂ€FH 0RQGD\ -XO\ WR EHJLQ KLV second four-year term as state superintendent of public instruction. “Despite the great battles that are being waged in this state over the future direction of education, I still believe that we, as Wisconsinites, can come together in the pursuit of innovation and excellence,â€? he said. Evers noted that local schools and libraries are sources of pride in villages, towns and cities across Wisconsin, that the state is among leaders in the nation on graduation rates and ACT scores, and is the “Best in the Midwestâ€? in Advanced Placement course results. And, though Wisconsin faces challenges, especially disparities in graduation rates for African American, American Indian, and Hispanic students as well as for students with disabilities, English learners and students in poverty, Evers said he still believes, “that citizens across this state want to work together ... That Wisconsinites remain committed to ensuring that every child, no matter where they live or how much money their parents make, can graduate from high school prepared for that next step — whether it’s

directly into a career, college or the military.� He shared stories of his school visits to Riverside Elementary School in Menomonee Falls, Washington Elementary School in Merrill, Eleva-Strum High School, Vincent High School in Milwaukee and Gilmore Middle School in Racine where he saw innovation and excellence in action. In each school, students were fully engaged in their learning and elements of his 2017 Every Child a Graduate Agenda were evident. Agenda 2017 sets aggressive but achievable goals and lays out a plan to meet them. Through improved standards and instruction, assessments and data systems, school and educator accountability and VFKRRO ÀQDQFH UHIRUP :LVFRQVLQ ZLOO LQcrease graduation rates, close gaps and increase college and career readiness. Evers noted that already Wisconsin has rigorous standards for English language arts and mathematics, benchmarked to the highest performing states and countries. The state is developing next-generation assessments tied to new standards that will provide students, parents and teachers the timely feedback they need to improve learning. Additionally, Wisconsin implemented a new statewide kindergarten reading

screener to improve elementary reading performance and adopted the ACT suite to measure student progress throughout high school. “We’ve not only raised expectations for our kids, but for our educators and schools, as well,â€? Evers said. “We’ve created a new, fair and robust educator evaluation system in partnership with teachers, administrators and school boards that we are piloting this year. For schools, we have kicked the broken No Child Left Behind law to the curb, creating a school accountability system that was homegrown by a multitude of partners here in Wisconsin.â€? Evers warned that, “Public education in Wisconsin cannot be strong without strong teachers. In this time of great change, we need our educators invested and involved. He commended Leah Luke, a former Teacher of the Year and an English and Spanish teacher from Mauston High School, for standing up during this tumultuous time and reminding us of our values and the importance of teaching to our future. Luke served as master of ceremonies for the inaugural event at La Follette High School in Madison. ´:H PXVW RQFH DJDLQ Ă€QG D ZD\ WR value and honor public service, especially teaching,â€? Evers said “Teachers chose this

profession, like Leah did, like I did, because they love kids, they want to inspire a love of learning, they want to change lives. Let’s turn the corner on this and get back to a time when teachers are valued and respected for the contributions they make to our children, and our state,â€? he said. Evers predicted that this school year, and the next few to come, will bring many important, exciting, and positive changes to Wisconsin schools. “It’s both an exciting time and a challenging time for public education. We’re changing what children learn, how they’re taught and tested, and how schools and educators are evaluated. Our schools are investing in innovation and pursuing excellence at an unprecedented pace. And, while the scope and pace of change can sometimes seem overwhelming, we absolutely need to stay the course. For our kids and for their futures, it’s the right thing to do.â€? Evers pledged to stand up for kids, schools and all the parents, educators, staff, board members and leaders who work daily to build a more prosperous future for Wisconsin. “As your state superintendent, I will drive our agenda forward and advocate for our kids — for all of Wisconsin’s children.â€? - IURP WKH RIĂ€FH RI Superintendent Evers

Best neighborhood This is not a political letter or a letter of complaint. What it is, is to compliment two very kind neighbors. On June 21, we had some very high winds, which woke me about 6 a.m. I went to my back door and looked out the window and saw the trees bowing in the high winds. I have a tree alongside my garage, and I was hoping that tree would not come down on my garage. I went back to bed and about six minutes later I heard a very loud crack. My

daughter, Erika, was visiting me from Tennessee, and she also heard it. We went to the back door, and sure enough, a good part of the tree was on my garage roof. I called my wonderful neighbor, Milt 'DHIĂ HU DQG DVNHG ZKRP , VKRXOG FDOO His statement to me was, “You don’t need to call anyone. I will take care of it.â€?

Don’t exempt UW-Madison from records law The University of Wisconsin - Madison has requested that the state Legislature grant it an exemption from Wisconsin’s Open Records Law. The proposed legislation, if passed, would limit public access to university records and diminish independent scrutiny of the state’s Ă DJVKLS XQLYHUVLW\ In pursuit of this exemption, UW-MadLVRQ RIĂ€FLDOV KDYH circulated proposed language, initially to a list of Republicanonly legislators. The two-page memo $OOHQ 5XII contained a range of arguments for granting increased protection of “intellectual property,â€? primarily the growing proportion of on-campus research and development. The proposed legislation, which the UW initially wanted added to the state budget bill, is overly broad. If passed, it would inevitably lead to abuse. It would allow the withholding of in-

This exemption would pertain whether the research was “sponsored by the institution alone or in conjunction with a governmental body or private concern.â€? The UW-Madison sponsors argue that this change is needed to deter the theft of valuable research before it can be patented. Their memo to lawmakers warned darkly that, “The possibility that public records laws can be used as a tool for competing researchers to gain premature access to the ideas of others places the University at a competitive disadvantage with respect to recruiting and retaining high caliber researchers.â€? In other words, a research funder might lose anticipated returns on their investment because a competitor gained access to key information through an open records request. If

so, that funder might take their money elsewhere - to a private institution unconcerned with public access. Researchers would follow suit, to the detriment of the UW and state.

Second Polk property auction ends by Gregg Westigard Leader staff writer

Nine parcels bring 20 percent over minimum BALSAM LAKE – The second Polk County real estate auction has ended, and nine parcels of tax-forfeit land are being returned to the tax rolls. The winning bids for the nine properties totaled $181,440. That was $30,839 or 20 percent over the beginning bid. The properties were sold on an online auction which ended June 24.

The properties ranged in size from 160 acres of hardwood forest in McKinley to three small fragments. Two of the properties sold were old school buildings. Ten properties had been listed for sale, but one, a lot on Wild Goose Lake in the Town of Balsam Lake, received no bids. This was the second time the county tried to sell the McKinley property at the west end of 255th Street. The land, most of which is separated from public access by a large pond, was offered at auction for $192,000 in 2010. Now two parties bid the price up from $133,000 to a closing price of $138,000 or $862 an acre. The old Pleasant View schoolhouse in Black Brook was an active school from

1873 until 1959. The building on an acre of land on 110th Street sold for $3,850, with six bidders seeking the property. The old Indian Creek school in Lorain is a large brick structure that was active from 1929 through 1969 when the grade-school classes moved to Frederic. The building and two acres of land sold for $10,025, twice the opening bid of $5,000. One buyer was the top bidder for two parcels of hilly property on Park Drive in the village of Balsam Lake. With six acWLYH ELGGHUV IRU HDFK SDUFHO WKH Ă€QDO FRPbined bids rose from a start of $5,000 to a close of $18,905 for the six acres of land.

Walker reverses eviction of investigative journalism center by Chuck Quirmbach Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Gov. Scott Walker vetoed a budget provision that would have ejected the Wisconsin Center for InvestiJDWLYH -RXUQDOLVP IURP LWV RIĂ€FH LQ D 8: Madison building. The center will continue to operate on

the UW-Madison campus and collaborate with university employees. Had the item remained, Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public TV employees and other UW System staff would not have been allowed to work with WCIJ on projects. Suburban Milwaukee GOP state Sen. Alberta Darling contends she’s not upset with the governor’s veto,

though she defends going after WCIJ via the budget. “My point was, why should taxpayers be paying for an organization to have UHQW SDLG IRU LQ RXU XQLYHUVLW\ V\VWHP" Because when (WCIJ) puts out their information, they say ‘(inaudible) ... of the University of Wisconsin.’ Well, they aren’t ‘of the University of Wisconsin’;

they’re just housed there.� Walker says he vetoed the item because it targeted a single organization. He’s directing the UW Board of Regents to develop a systemwide policy on outside organizations using UW facilities and staff time.

Draft plan would allow farmers to sell raw milk by Maureen McCollum Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Wisconsin farmers would be able to legally sell raw milk directly to the public under new legislation being drafted at the state Capitol. Under the proposed bill, Grade A raw milk could only be sold directly from farmers to consumers. A sign at the farm and on the container’s label would have to state that the milk is unpasteurized. The measure is still in draft form, and lawmakers hope to get more cosigners through mid-July. The proposal follows the trial and partial acquittal of Sauk County farmer Vernon Hershberger, who came under scrutiny for selling raw milk to members of a buying club. State Rep. Chris Danou says people who want to buy and sell raw milk will continue to do so, and the bill creates reasonable standards. He says it could also help farmers make more money. “If we can allow the agricultural producer to add value to his product by getting a retail price for it, as opposed to wholesale price, that, I think, will help some elements of the rural economy. It’s not obviously going to be a panacea; it’s just another option for folks.� Among the proposal’s opponents is the Wisconsin Safe Milk Coalition. It consists of medical facilities, state dairy and cheese associations, and the insurance industry. Spokesman Shawn Pfaff says drinking raw milk carries some health risks and outbreaks could tarnish the dairy industry, even if people choose to

recently published two books on restoration ecology through Island Press. Twice while teaching at the University of Illinois - Urbana, Haney received outstanding faculty teaching awards. In 1986 while teaching at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina, he received the Southern Appalachian Region Pew Award for outstanding teaching and scholarship. In 1998 and again in 2002, the students in the College of Natural Resources at Stevens Point selected Haney as Outstanding Faculty Member. Don’t miss this chance to be inspired

and energized! Start your evening with Music on the Overlook Deck across the street, get some blues and barbecue, then head to the senior center to hear Haney’s presentation. The Polk County Energy Fair will be held on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Polk County Fair Park. It is free for everyone to attend.

Bandits looking to rebound in July by Garth Olson Special to the Leader ST. CROIX FALLS – Playing in their sixth season in the St. Croix Valley Baseball League, the St. Croix Bandits hope to rebound after the Fourth of July. The Bandits shocked the league after knocking off defending state champions, Menomonie, 4-1, on June 15. However, St. Croix (1- 6 league record) had a tough time last weekend – falling to Ellsworth 16-9 and to Elmwood 12-7. “We have potential to be better,� manager Steve Siqueiros said. “We’ve missed making some key plays when we needed them.� Scoring runs has not been a problem. “Cory Gebhard, Steven Bielmeier and Brock Luehman have been leading the way at the plate,� Siqueiros added. The Bandits added some pitching depth this season with Jake Goetz of Stillwater, Minn., and Brandon Anderson who played in high school for Amery and Shell Lake. The Bandits also added Brady Turner who played for Unity High School. “Brett Krull has also been a big addition. He plays a good third base and is a good stick.� On Friday, July 5, St. Croix will be sending Anderson, Krull and Luehman to the league all-star game in New Richmond. After the all-star game, there will be plenty of big league games on the horizon. St. Croix travels to Hudson on Saturday, July 6, and to Osceola on Saturday,

To keep our treasured waters clean and healthy, don’t pick up any aquatic hitchhikers this summer by John Gozdzialski DNR northern region director SPOONER – Please don’t pick up hitchhikers this summer, and I’m not talking about the ones your mom warned you to never stop for along highways. These hitchhikers are found on boats and trailers, in live wells and the bucket where you may keep the day’s catch. These hitchhikers -- aquatic invasive species -- are non-native plants and animals that can harm our treasured Wisconsin waters and recreation and which are primarily spread when we are boating or ÀVKLQJ But by being alert and taking a few easy steps, you can curb the spread and we can help in a host of ways.

Or are you interested in joining the hundreds of volunteers working to moniWRU DQG SUHYHQW WKH VSUHDG RI $,6" Preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species takes effort from everyone who enjoys our state’s waterways. Our surveys show that more than 90 percent of boaters know what they need to do to prevent the spread of AIS. We continue to educate boaters about AIS and we have also started to enforce the AIS laws in Wisconsin. Please go to the DNR searchable website and type in “invasive speciesâ€? for more on how we can all help keep WisFRQVLQ ODNHV DQG Ă€VK KHDOWK\ 7KH EHVW place to start is by removing organic material from boats, trailers and live wells. Drain water from live wells, bilges and pumps. Put your catch on ice instead of in a bucket full of water. To minimize the spread of these invasive species, the law requires water to be drained from our live wells and bilges even if they contain your day’s catch.

With your help, we can continue to keep AIS in check. About 200 lakes were PRQLWRUHG WKLV \HDU DV SDUW RI D ÀYH \HDU process to paint a more accurate picture of where aquatic invasive species are found across the state, and how fast they’re spreading, and to evaluate the effectiveness of outreach and education efforts. The number of counties actively partnering with the state to prevent and control the spread of aquatic invasive species is growing. Over the Fourth of July holiday, for instance, a record 53 counties will have volunteers and paid staff at boat launches to provide free boat inspections, hand out limited supplies of towels and ice packs, and help raise awareness of steps to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Efforts to engage new partners in geographic areas where there were gaps in the past are paying off. We continue to partner with nearly 200 bait shops to help spread the word and, this year, high

school students from Siren will help raise awareness at boat launches in Burnett County over the Fourth of July holiday. These partnerships helped spread the AIS prevention message to even more water users in 2012 with nearly 110,000 boats inspected and 233,000 people contacted. The results are encouraging. Seventy percent of lakes with public access were free of Eurasian water milfoil, despite that invader being here in Wisconsin for more than 50 years. And 82 percent of suitable lakes with public access are still clear of zebra mussels, present inland for more than 20 years.

New transformer promises greater power reliability to Grantsburg area

by Priscilla Bauer Leader staff writer GRANTSBURG – When the truck carrying Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company’s big transformer rolled into town on Thursday, June 27, NWE President David Dahlberg was there to inspect the huge piece of equipment. Last April, prior to purchasing the transformer, Dahlberg and his father, former NWE President Mark Dahlberg, traveled to Regensburg, Germany, where the transformer was built, to witness the factory acceptance testing of the unit. The new transformer, which weighed in at a hefty 98,000 pounds when shipped, traveled by truck to Antwerp, Belgium, then came by ship to Milwaukee where it was loaded and trucked to Grantsburg. The transformer was delivered to the Rock Creek substation in Minnesota where it will be stored on-site until put into service sometime after Labor Day. :KHQ DVVHPEOHG DQG Ă€OOHG ZLWK RLO WKH transformer will weigh 155,000 pounds. “When we install this transformer, we will have to take the Rock Creek substation out of service for two to three weeks,â€?

explained Dahlberg. “We didn’t want to do this during the hot summer months when peak power demands can occur.� Dahlberg said the transformer rated 30,000 kVA and rated 230,000 volts on the high side and 69,000 volts on the low side, will replace the existing transformer at Rock Creek, which was manufactured in 1957 and reconditioned when NWE purchased it in 1997. With a price tag for the new transformer coming in at $899,300 and an additional $123,000 for the work of removing the old transformer and installation of the new unit, Dahlberg said the estimated total project cost to be $1,022,600, a major expenditure for the local company. Dahlberg said because of the size of the project, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission approved it in October. “Installation of this transformer will improve reliability to the Grantsburg, Alpha, Branstad and Falun areas,� added Dahlberg of the million-dollar-plus system upgrade.

The visitor portion of the depot is complete, while the ticketing and gift shop areas are still under construction. However, the train is currently offering rides. “It was too long a trip for people to go from Spooner to the Namekagon, so now from our new depot it’s only 45 minutes and they can go and enjoy other area activities,� explained Vreeland.

I didn’t want a second workout, I wanted my legs and back to feel better. A local yoga studio was offering a class called “yin and restorative yoga.â€?

As it turns out, restorative yoga is basically laying on comfy Mexican blankets while listening to relaxLQJ PXVLF ,¡P QRW TXLWH VXUH ZKHUH WKH \RJD Ă€WV LQ but the comfy blankets certainly felt restorative. I was sort of hoping that “yinâ€? might be some type of tea served to us while laying on the comfy pile of blankets, but that was not what it turned out to be. Yin yoga is getting into completely impossible positions (asanas) and then holding them for just a little less than an eternity — while listening to relaxing music. Yin is all about intentions. I intend for my head to rest upon my leg. My head is nowhere near my leg. My back is stiff and my leg is a very long ways away. I do not force my back to bend, I just slowly let it happen. After a minute or two I am startled to feel my hair brush against my leg. Then, quite unexpectedly, my head is on my knee. I know this cannot last, but somehow it does. Now my head is on my knee and I am actually getting comfortable. The music plays and I am just breathing with my head resting on my leg and my back is feeling better than it has in weeks.

This little taste of yin was like real life — sped up. I would like to be a less goal-oriented person. In the dance of life, I’d like to let life take the lead. But how do I do this when there are things I want to accomplish? My little sample of yin yoga was a wonderful lesson. It doesn’t happen if I anticipate the end. It doesn’t happen by forcing change or rushing progress. Instead, I focus on being here in this moment and keeping my intention strong. The next thing I know my head is on my knee, or I have learned something that seemed unknowable, or I have written (as I am doing right now) my 200th column. I still like lists and goals and schedules. But now, more often, I am realizing that the lists and goals and plans rarely pan out as I had hoped. Instead, it is the simple habits and changes that I quietly make and keep day after day that have the most profound impact. So I am trying to do a little less pushing and a little more bending. These days, when I feel tired or defeated, instead of powering through, I take a nap. Except I don’t call it a nap anymore. I call it “restorative yoga.â€? Till next time, —Carrie

Another suggested live-trapping the critters, escorting them to a lonely location and letting them go in some other neighbor’s yard. Not my cup of tea, either. Two other options seemed reasonable given our circumstances. Ammonia is a particularly noxious-smelling cleaning solution. One suggestion was to soak some rags in ammonia and stuff them in the skunk’s living space, the idea being that they would simply become frustrated with the smell and move out.

That’s been the role of folk music down the centuries – it blends various FXOWXUDO WUDLWV WRJHWKHU DQG XQLÀHV LW into a creative tapestry woven out of the older material. And of course long after the fur trade, various groups and styles of music blended via what we call folk music to paint a mosaic of cultural patterns that is the true strength of a democratic society. But beyond those lofty notions, it’s just good music. It builds on mostly acoustical instruments, and while much of the original melodies and tunes are still passed around, folk music has evolved in recent years to include many talented musicians who build on the foundations by creating newer versions of old songs, and often composing new PXVLF EXW ZLWK GHÀQLWH URRWV LQ WKH WUDditions. Folk music thus is an exciting medium and has an especially strong historical component. The Yellow River Folk Music Festival will include a wide variety of folk music styles, from the aforementioned voyageur songs to Scots and Irish sounds to Texas swing and lots in between. Besides shows running all day from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m., some performers will

also be available in smaller workshop settings where visitors can visit and appreciate the music up close. To round out the festival, food, beer and a number of crafters will be on hand.

nterfaith Caregivers is honored to have several volunteers who are veterans. Interfaith Caregivers also offers a range of different services to veterans who need help in Polk County. The past few months, ,QWHUIDLWK KDV KHOSHG WZR YHWHUDQV Ă€QG IULHQGVKLS David Michaelson is a volunteer for Interfaith Caregivers. Starting in January 2012, he has been an extraordinary volunteer. In one year, David has GULYHQ PLOHV DQG YROXQWHHUHG KRXUV IRU Interfaith. He has been helping care for those who need a friendly visit, a ride to the grocery store and to the clinic. David is a much-appreciated volunteer at Interfaith Caregivers, and was one of the recipients of the 2012 Don Getschel Volunteer Driver Award. David volunteers for Interfaith to help seniors and adults with disabilities who need it the most. He feels as though he doesn’t need an award, helping people is a reward in itself. “Freedom is earned. That’s what we are all about. We start from nothing and build up.â€? David chooses to donate two hours a day for those who want to maintain their independence. This is not the only public service David has given to the Balsam Lake community; he recently retired from driving school bus for 50 years. David is also a veteran and served in the United States Army for two years. As a volunteer, it wasn’t long before David met another veteran during a ride to the clinic. Walter Elmore, a retired Coast Guard veteran, had much in common with David. Walter said that it’s nice to have an organization like Interfaith because when he needs something, he knows he can call. Walter says Interfaith gave him someone to talk to either on the phone

Interfaith Caregivers coordinates volunteers to help seniors and adults living with disabilities to maintain their independence. Because of volunteers like David, all services are provided at no cost. Walter says that independence does not come without a cost. “You’ve got responsibilities. And we won’t be free if we aren’t responsible.� The Fourth of July is a time to remember what freedom means to us individually. The term “freedom� means something different to everyone. Without veterans like David, or Walter, we wouldn’t be able to have “freedom.� Interfaith Caregivers coordinates volunteers for seniors and adults with disabilities who want to maintain their independence at home. Interfaith can do that because of people like Walter and David. Over the Fourth of July, Interfaith Caregivers ask you to thank those who have served, and those who are still serving to give us the freedom that we all deserve.

Walker vetoes tobacco-use surcharge by Shawn Johnson Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Gov. Scott Walker has vetoed a tobaccouse surcharge for public workers that he had included in the budget in February. Walker proposed the $50 monthly tobacco-use surcharge for state employees as a way of offsetting the higher medical costs associated with smoking. Several months later, Walker has vetoed the proposal in its entirety. Walker said in his veto message that his original plan was drawn up before the federal government spelled out guidelines for these types of surcharges. Walker said once those guidelines emerged, they were onerous, and would have made Wisconsin’s tobacco surcharge too costly. Walker’s veto was welcome news to Maureen Busalacchi from the anti-smoking group Health First Wisconsin. Busalacchi says that because people have to pay these surcharges retroactively, they’re not as effective as a tobacco tax. Busalacchi: “Our goal is to make sure that people quit using tobacco, and that policy wouldn’t necessarily lead to that. That’s why cigarette taxes and taxes on other tobacco products are so effective because it’s at point of purchase versus a random bill that you get on a monthly basis.� The governor said in his veto message that federal guidelines would have let people opt out of the monthly surcharge if they participate in a tobacco cessation program. He says that would have cost the state more, and people still would not have to necessarily stop smoking.
