A prescription for a problem •Annual Take Back Day helps raise awareness of Rx epidemic BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—Saturday marks the 11th nattional prescription drug take back day. S Since its inception in 2010 (there are ttwo take back days annually), over 5.5 m million pounds of unwanted, expired o or unused prescription drugs have b been turned in for proper disposal. According Lil Piñero, the county’s D Drug-Free Communities coordinator ((DFC), Wisconsin residents turned in 225 tons (50,485 pounds) of unwanted, e expired or unused prescription drugs SUBMITTED in 2014. Pictured above: The 30 pounds of prescription “This ranked the state third in the drugs which have been turned in at the St. Croix nation in the total amount collected, Tribal Police Department in the four weeks since trailing only the much larger states of they added a permanent drop box.

Thoreson buys Burnett Plumbing BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—It’s been five years in the making, but Luke Thoreson has bought Burnett Plumbing in Grantsburg from founder Steve McNally. That was the plan when Thoreson first signed on with Burnett Plumbing in August 2011. “Steve has molded me into this position over the last five years,” Thoreson explained. “We had always talked about me taking over eventually.” Five years was not just a random number. “In Wisconsin, plumbers are required to go through a fiveyear apprenticeship program before they can test for a jourSEE PLUMBING, PAGE 7

So are the take back days effective or are Wisconsin doctors over-prescribing? That may be putting the cart before the horse. How the problem got started depends on who you ask but most law enforcement agencies agree it began with doctors. “A doctor only wants to help his or her patient and make them comfortable and pain-free,” Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm pointed out. That situation led to doctors and, subsequently, pharmacies, providing medications to people in pain. Some of those people would then become addicted to the pain medication. “Once a person becomes dependent on a narcotic, the vicious cycle starts,” St. Croix Tribal Police Chief Frank Taylor stated. “They have to find their ‘fix,’ and if one doctor doesn’t continue
Monday fatality DANBURY—An early Monday morning incident in Danbury resulted in the death of a 25-year-old man believed to be from Danbury. At 1:45 a.m. Monday, April 25, the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office and Emergency Responders were called to a residence on 3rd Avenue in the unincorporated village of Danbury. A 25-year old male victim was transported from the scene by ambulance to an area hospital where he later died; the name of the deceased male is not being released at this time. An autopsy will be performed at the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office in Ramsey, MN. No specifics on the incident were available. It remains under investigation, and no further information is being released at this time. Deputies have detained a number of individuals for questioning in this matter, and say there is no danger to the community relating to this incident. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office was assisted in this investigation by the St. Croix Tribal Police Department and the Burnett County Medical Examiner.
to prescribe a particular medication, they will go looking for a doctor who will.” The well-known term for taking advantage of physicians in this manner is called “doctor shopping.” Wilhelm said over the years his department has had reports of people obtaining prescriptions from several physicians for these drugs. “Prescription drug abuse has been prevalent in our county for many years,” he admitted. “Oxycodone and Fentanyl are the usual drugs of choice.” The presence of Burnett Medical Center (BMC) in Grantsburg provides Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing with a problem not as prevalent for the other law enforcement agencies. “Drug-seekers go to the hospital look-
Harsdorf announces bid for re-election • Harsdorf identifies jobs, tax relief for pocketbook issue campaign RIVER FALLS—State Senator Sheila Harsdorf announced the kickoff to her re-election campaign last week while traveling across the 10th Senate District. Citing her focus on kitchen table issues affecting working families, Senator Harsdorf expressed eagerness to continue supporting job growth, economic development, and tax relief. “Since the change of leadership in Madison in 2010 our state has Sheila Harsdorf seen a remarkable rebound,” said Harsdorf. “Our state’s unemployment rate has been cut in nearly half, we have one of the highest workforce participation rates in the nation, and fiscal sanity has returned to state government.” Harsdorf stated that her campaign will be focused on pocketbook issues critical to working families and on responding to the needs of our communities in western Wisconsin.

Governor declares State of Emergency on wildfires MADISON—Governor Scott Walker declared a State of Emergency Thursday, April 21, in response to elevated wildfire conditions throughout the state. “Our first priority is protecting the people of Wisconsin. This executive order helps us control existing wildfires and prevent new ones from starting,” Governor Walker said. “With the Wisconsin National Guard, we’ll have the resources we need to appropriately assist in potential wildfire response and recovery efforts.” The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requested wildfire suppression support from the Wisconsin National Guard due to abnormally dry conditions across the state. This support includes the pre-positioning of fireflghting assets in critical locations through-
out the state. The National Weather Service indicates weather conditions conducive to wildfires are possible, including gusty winds, low relative humidity, dry fuels, widespread drought conditions, and shortages of resources. By signing the executive order, the Governor may direct all state agencies of the State of Wisconsin to assist as appropriate in potential wildfire response and recovery efforts. And, if deemed appropriate, the state may call to active duty such elements of the Wisconsin National Guard as the Adjutant General deems necessary to assist Wisconsin Emergency Management and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in providing wildfire suppression support and other essential services.
NEWSLINE Heidi Jones receives scholarship SIREN—Burnett County Family Resource Center Director Heidi Jones has been awarded a scholarship to attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s Nonprofit Management Certificate Program in Hudson.

efficiently and effectively manage the complexities of a nonprofit organization. Northwest Alliance Community Foundation Board Vice Chair Mark Buley said “Heidi is a perfect candidates for this professional development opportunity. “Heidi is eager to build her skills and further her education.”
Has a volunteer changed your life? GRANTSBURG—Across Burnett County, lives are improved through the unpaid work of others, done to benefit the community at large. Volunteer efforts take many forms — trail building, event planning, supporting education, environment and the arts and more. Though few are in it for the glory, the Burnett County Sentinel would like to highlight the impacts of local volunteers whose behindthe-scene efforts often go unrecognized.
NEWSLINE May is Mental Health Month SIREN—When mental illnesses or disorders are discussed, the language typically used to describe them tends to be clinical and impersonal. These words, while useful for doctors or clinicians, often don’t do justice to what life with a mental illness feels like. That is why this year’s theme for “May is Mental Health Month—Life With a Mental Illness”—is a call to action to share what life with a mental illness feels like to someone going through it. May is Mental Health Month was started 67 years ago by Mental Health America, to raise awareness about mental health conditions and the importance of good mental health for everyone. Last year, Mental Health Month materials were seen and used by 19 million people, with more than 5,500 entities downloading MHA’s tool kits. The 2015 theme —based off the B4Stage4 initiative—helped individuals understand that when you address mental health symptoms before Stage 4, people can often recover quickly, and live full and productive lives.

River’s Rally in Milltown
The special day marks the second year of celebrating independent bookstores nationwide with book specials, cake, coloring activities for adults and kids, chocolate samples, book giveaways, and more, “After years of struggle, independent bookstores are experiencing a resurgence,” says Carol Dunn, owner of Northwind Book & Fiber. “Much of that is because we have wonderful customers who value the experience of shopping in a real store and know the importance of supporting local stores in their community. I see Independent Bookstore Day celebrating both the bookstores and their customers.” Northwind Book & Fiber will offer 12 exclusive books and gifts created especially for Independent Bookstore Day by major publishers and authors.
MILLTOWN—May 7 marks the seventh annual River’s Rally 5k & Fun Day in Milltown. This event celebrates the life of River Daniel Wheeler, born April 30, 2009 and passed away suddenly at just six days old. Ben and Deanna Wheeler started River’s Rally with the help of family and friends. River’s Rally is 501(c)3 organization, a public charity with the mission to support and raise funds for Faith’s Lodge, The Compassionate Friends, and River’s Uplift, organizations who help families who grieve the loss of an infant family member and also meet other community needs. Over the years, proceeds from River’s Rally have assisted many area projects, including building a picnic table shelter at the skate park in Milltown (River’s Park). River’s Rally partnered with the Village of Milltown to get the ramps painted at the park so they will provide many more years of enjoyment to area youth. River’s Rally has also supported local parks by purchasing a firetruck that will be placed at Angel’s Island, and collaborated to install bleachers at Bering Park in Milltown. River’s Rally, to, has given thousands of dollars to local benefits for individuals and families going through difficult times. “Helping, Healing, Hope” is River’s Rally slogan and signifies what the organization stands by to carry on River Wheeler’s legacy.

Raise your voice like a trumpet.” Dr. Tony Evans is Honorary Chairman of the National Day of Prayer. In the prayer he wrote for the event, he stated, “Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today as a humble people, desperate for Your intervention on behalf of our beloved nation.

Around the horn Saw a bear a few days ago — it was my first of the year. It was obviously an adult, given its size. After all, when recounting the sighting to the wife, I used the word “lumbering” to describe how the bear loped across the field. I should mention that I was about a quarter-mile away when I had the sighting — that in itself is a story. I was out for my morning walk when a truck goes flying past me like he’s going to a fire. He stopped at the corner and turned south — at which point I didn’t give it any more thought. Until I was looking around and I see the same truck pulled over to the side of that southbound road — no flashers, no Seems to hood raised, nothing to indicate he was having car problems. Me So I scan the area thinking he must have seen something. Todd Beckmann In that initial scan I pick out what I first believe to be a culvert opening — don’t forget, I’m about a quarter-mile away. Plus I’m still walking. I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to focus on a distant object when I’m moving. So I stopped and focus on what still seemed like a culvert-opening — until it moved. I’m guessing the people in the stopped truck must have done something to spook the creature because it took off at a pretty steady lope, crossed the road and went into the trees. I eyeballed where the bear went into the woods because there’d be an opportunity for future bear-viewing at that spot.
Take back day Time to fish out all those old meds and get rid of them for free this weekend. Why not take the opportunity to gather those supposedly child-proof prescription bottles that have been laying around the house and get rid of them — properly, with no questions asked? According to the CDC, providers wrote 259 million opioid prescriptions in 2012 — enough for every adult American to have a bottle of pain killers. What a telling statistic!
Mad dash Yep, it’s the last week of April. The wife tells me she has 26 days of school left in the school year. That seems obvious as the schools and the kids are all making final preparations of another year being wrapped up: Spring plays are wrapped up. Grantsburg prom was last weekend. Siren and Webster are having proms this weekend. Tiger Construction is putting the final touches on the house Webster High School students built with hopes of auctioning it off in the coming weeks. Softball, baseball, golf and track athletes are getting primed to make their annual run at getting to state in their respective sports, and graduation is just around the corner.

Busting out all over I think it is safe to come outside and play. I realize that we have received snow in May, but in my mind, all signs point to spring. During the up and down, hot and cold weather of the past few weeks, I wondered when and if the final “hammer” of the season would drop, but a few things happening in my yard gave me hope. From the The chipmunks Publisher’s and squirrels are out and cavorting Desk in trees, on the yard and any othTom Stangl er space they like. I’ve always enjoyed watching the squirrels, and we have some black ones in our yard that put on a real show. Two weekends ago, my wife and I cleared and mulched some leaves to uncover the perennial plants that have begun springing up from the ground. A few were even a bit pale, but greened right up after being uncovered. There’s still more leaves to be removed, but the mower is good to
go and we have placed some of the yard decorations and solar powered lights in their familiar spots. One of the most enjoyable things is to hear the birds singing again. We have a pair of cardinals that are in the neighborhood and they have a beautiful song. They are a sight to behold as well with their wonderful scarlet plumage. I hope they stay around. I feel this time of year you can sense the coming explosion of color as trees begin to bud, plants reemerge from the safe confines of the soil, and there is a brief pause while nature checks its list and gives the go-ahead to bloom. Then the show really begins. In many ways, human life echoes what is occurring in nature right now. We are putting away winter items while we prepare spring and summer items for use. A great deal of cleaning and organizing is underway. As a child, I recall my mother washing all the curtains in the house. After drying them on the clothesline, she would get out her sprinkling bottle and iron to press the drapes and curtains. Having an infusion of the fresh smell of line-dried curtains helped revive us all. It’s funny how the

smell of line-dried linens still evokes powerful memories for me. It is a busy time for schools as the frenetic run to the end of the school year has begun, with educators working extra hard to keep students focused. This is not a good time of year to be a teacher. The young feel the strong pull of nature keenly, and I offer my respect and thanks to the teachers who keep everyone going in the right direction. Church dinners and garage sales are underway as well with the process of tidying up your home and making a few bucks begins. Garage sales are another indicator of the changing seasons. The weekend bargain hunters will be scouring the tables for bargains or collectibles as items move from one home to another.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
by Patzy Wenthe
Congratulations to the new reigning GHS Prom Royalty King Walker Louis and Queen Jordyn Phillips! We experienced a most delicious meal on our palates Thursday, at our first seasonal evening dining. It was a full house with more than 60 in attendance. We ended on a sweet note, serenaded with a duet by Peter Johnson & Gene Gronlund. Unfortunately, they only rehearsed one song! Maybe next month we can get two! Many also took advantage of the Annual Historical Society Membership Event Thursday evening at Crex Wildlife Educational Center. We gained knowledge about the Sandhill Cranes with a presentation by Lauren Finch. Then we learned a bit about the former “Rolite” business, and watched short movie about manufacturing “Rolite” Trailers, filmed by Paul Norenberg in 1966. The evening ended with goodies.

Celebrating the new Grantsburg rail service
Canute Anderson was one of the chief developers of the Grantsburg area. He was instrumental in getting Northern Pacific Railroad to build a branch railroad from Rush City, MN to Grantsburg. A grand celebration was held when the final spike was driven on Jan. 11, 1884. Free rides to and from Rush City, a dinner and a ball were highlights of the occasion. Strolling Through the Century
Grantsburg’s railroad turntable
As Grantsburg was the end of the line, the locomotive had to be turned around for the return journey. A turntable was built atop a circular pit. A straight section of track was mounted on wheels that rolled on a circular track along the pit wall. Lining up the movable track with the fixed track, the locomotive was run onto the straight track above the pit. Trainmen applied manpower to the levers, giving the locomotive a 180 degree turn so it was ready to head back to Rush City. The turntable was located where the laundromat now stands at the corner of North Oak Street and Olson Drive. Heavy snowstorms created a problem. The snow had to be shoveled from the pit before the turntable could reverse the engine. This was not an easy task. Sometimes called The Blueberry Special, the trains served Grantsburg until 1951. Luverne Larson
Sparks cause fire
Last week, the railroad bridge over the St. Croix River between Grantsburg and Rush City caught fire after the eastbound train has crossed. Two hours later, the train now westbound found the Wisconsin side ablaze, with 80 feet of the bridge approach burned. The blaze was promptly extinguished. The next day, with a train on both sides of the river, service was continued. Passengers and express mail and freight were transferred by boat over the river for a few days until repairs were made to the bridge and track. 1894 has been a very dry year. The undergrowth beside the track easily became ignited by sparks from the train’s engine. Burnett County Sentinel June 7, 1894
New Grantsburg railroad fare to Rush City: 67¢
New, higher railroad fees have been announced to take place immediately. Passenger rates have increased 20 percent. Freight rates are up about one-third. One-way fares from Grantsburg now are: Rush City, 67¢; St. Paul, $2.74; Minneapolis, $3.15; Superior, $4.33; Duluth, $4.50. Burnett County Journal and Sentinel Aug. 27, 1920

To the Editor: People in Wisconsin work hard and expect others to do the same. Imagine having a job and telling your employer that for the next eight months, you refuse to do your job. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is doing exactly that! Sen. Johnson was hired by us, the “employers” of Wisconsin, who pay his generous salary and benefits to work for us. He took an oath to uphold the Constitution. The Senate has a constitutional duty to hold hearings and to “advise” and “consent” after the President has nominated a qualified person to fill a U.S. Supreme Court vacancy. Fifty-four percent (54%) of Wisconsinites (source:WPR) want the Senate to hold hearings this year on President Obama’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee, U.S. Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Wisconsinites (Public Policy Poll) want the Senate to hold hearings to fill the vacant seat. Other national polls indicate a strong majority of American voters want the Senate to hold hearings this year for Judge Merrick Garland. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has joined newspapers around the country stating that Sen. Ron Johnson and his fellow Republicans need to do their job and give Judge Garland a hearing. Senator Johnson is clearly going against the will of the people by refusing to do his job. It is our duty as Ron Johnson’s “employers” to tell him: Do your job!

Grant recipients are selected quarterly by a committee of co-op members, with financial donations awarded to nonprofit organizations that improve local quality of life. Nonprofit organizations interested in applying for a grant, or co-op members who’d like to round up their bill in support of Operation Round-Up may contact 800-421-0283 or PolkBurnett.com. The next application deadline is June 1.
DRUGS: Recognizing the problem CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
ing for drugs but when the doctor says ‘No,’ they refuse to leave the building — it’s up to our department to escort them out,” he emphasized. Chris Sybers, Siren’s Chief of Police, believes the whole problem starts with privacy. “The prescription drugs someone might be on is no one’s business but their own,” he urged. “Don’t carry around all your pills — just take what you need for the day.” And be careful where you ingest these medications. “Be cautious where you take your medicines and don’t let a lot of people see you take them,” Sybers continued. “You’d be taking away the temptation.”
Attempt to remedy
But, doctors, pharmacies and drug companies —even the state legislature, are realizing the problem exists. Sybers said the problem seems to be better now than it was five years ago. “I think doctors are more cognizant of who they’re giving medications to,” he realized. Taylor said some of the loopholes are being addressed and more focus is being put on prevention and awareness. “Changes, such as pharmacies being able to track people better when a prescription is filled, have reduced some of the problem with prescription drugs,” Taylor remarked. Schinzing says he is seeing it as well. “BMC does a good job recognizing the drug-seekers and they try to steer them away,” he said. “The doctors are not going to prescribe the drugs unless they are needed and haven’t been prescribed elsewhere.” Wilhelm agrees. “Locally, our physicians are taking the necessary steps to avoid the ‘doctor shopping’ and over-prescribing these pain-killer drugs,” he commented. “I commend them for taking precautions SUBMITTED when writing prescriptions to their paPolk-Burnett’s Operation Round-Up awarded a $1,000 grant to Indianhead Commutients.” nity Action Agency’s Connections food shelf in Webster in April.

macies now have 24 hours to file that report.” And they’re not done yet. “The Medical Examining Board is looking to make the PDMP even more user-friendly,” she added. But all the prevention doesn’t remedy the situation. “Obtaining pain-killer drugs is still a huge problem and the criminals resort to theft and burglaries to get the money so they can obtain these drugs,” Wilhelm cautioned. While all of these changes may help curb the prescription drug addiction epidemic, it does open the door to a nastier narcotic. “The Federal Drug Administration has taken many steps to curb this abuse and, as a result, we are beginning to see a heroin problem,” the sheriff remarked. “This heroin problem is a major problem in Wisconsin and Minnesota along with methamphetamine. We will see an increase in the use of heroin in the coming months, it is just a matter of time.” Harsdorf agreed. “A lot of the heroin abusers started by abusing prescription drugs and then moved on,” she observed.
Take Back Day “These ‘Take Back’ days keep those medications off the streets,” Piñero said of Saturday’s event. “Plus, a lot of people don’t know the proper disposal methods — flushing them down the toilet or burning the medications is not good for the water supply or the air we breathe.” Schinzing calls it an extremely important day. “It gets rid of old, unused medications, they get disposed of properly and cuts down on the possibility of theft.” That resonated with Taylor. “More people need to become aware that there are places to dispose of old medication without any questions being asked and be properly disposed of at no cost,” he explained. “This will hopefully decrease burglaries and thefts, knowing that when households do not have a bundle of medications, the folks seeking out those prescription drugs will not target your house.” Piñero put a finer point on Taylor’s remark. “A lot of times in hospice care, they’ll use a high-grade morphine,” she revealed. “Abusers know to look in the paper at the obituaries, learn the person has died, knows when the family will be gone to the funeral and thus knows when it’s a good time to hit the house.” So getting the old, unused medications out of the house is a no-brainer. “Getting rid of the stuff is the best answer,” Sybers said. “It protects the family too — no break-ins and no accidental over-doses.” Piñero said four sites, the Grantsburg Police Department, the A&H Senior Center, the Burnett Co. Sheriff’s Department and the St. Croix Tribal Police Department will host the take back day on Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Burnett County Adolescent AODA Prevention Coalition and the DEA and is funded through a DFC grant. “All the pills are turned over to the state patrol who turns it over to the DEA,” Piñero noted. “The DEA then transports the drugs to an EPA-approved incinerator in Illinois.”

Webster High School introduces its best perintendent, voiced. “But I’m very encouraged.” • Even though they knew it was coming, the board was reticent in approving Jovin Kroll’s end-of-theyear resignation. Last month the board had approved Breena Kroll’s resignation. “Maybe if we don’t make a motion to approve, he won’t leave,” Mark Elliott, board president, mused. But the resignation was approved and now the district begins the search for a new high school English teacher as well as a new football coach. “Jovin created a culture within the football program,” Erickson noted. “The assistant coaches saw that and experienced it so I’m pretty sure one of them could take over.” • During Monday’s reorganizational meeting, staffing issues for the coming year were at the forefront, especially with the board accepting the resignations of Melissa Fitzenberger, the junior high counselor, and Ashley Close, the Family and Consumer Education teacher. “Do we replace them or do we use that money to hire a social worker or a mental health specialist to better serve our students?” Erickson wondered rhetorically. “The board will be doing a lot of strategizing as we move forward — it’ll be a busy spring.” The board hired Krissa Ward to serve half time as school psychologist. The district is sharing her with Siren. The board also re-elected all of its officers — Mark Elliott will continue in the role of board president, Terry Larsen as vice president, Brenda Rachner as treasurer and Wendy Larson as secretary.

WEBSTER—The magic number of school days left in the year is less than 40 and the Webster School Board took the time at its monthly meeting last week to recognize the best academicians the school has to offer. High School Principal Josh Hetfeld introduced the Class of 2016 Valedictorian and Salutatorian — Alec Ralph and Annika Hendrickson, respectively. In addition to Ralph and Hendrickson, the top 10, based on accumulated grade point average, includes Tate Fohrenkamm, Grant Preston, Cassidy Formanek, Lydia Wilson, Katelyn Pardun, Nicole Moretter, Samantha Culver, and Taran Wols. Hetfeld also announced the Technical Excellence Scholarship winner last week — Connor Raschke. According to High School Counselor Breena Kroll, the Technical Excellence Scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior in every Wisconsin High School. “The selected student must have the highest demonstrated level of proficiency in technical education subjects,” she stated. “This scholarship can only be used within the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) located within the state.” The value of the scholarship is up to $2,250 per year for two years. “Connor Raschke was our selection for this scholarship because of his high level of performance in our technical education program,” Kroll praised. “He is doing the School-To-Work program and is employed by Nexen.” The Higher Education Aids Board as well as the WI technical colleges fund the scholarship. The 2015-16 year is the second year it has been available to graduating seniors. “It’s a huge scholarship for a tech

school student because it covers such a large portion of the cost,” Kroll explained. “Most two-year programs are around $7,000-$9,000, so with a $4,500 scholarship it makes a huge dent in the debt.” The criteria to select a winner is set up by the state. Kroll said the school looks at how many courses were taken, letters of recommendation, and the student’s involvement with school activities that relate to the Career and Technical Education fields. Raschke plans to attend the WITC in Rice Lake in the fall for their auto mechanics program. In other business: • Third Grade Teacher Lisa Richison and three of her students were at the meeting to give the board a report on the personalized learning environment she has developed in her classroom this year. “We can choose where we want to sit, we can chose the order of what we learn that day and we can work at our own pace,” Brooklyn, one of her students, remarked. Richison agreed. “Ultimately, it’s what is best for my kids,” she remarked. The board liked what they heard. “It is unknown if the kids are learning what they need to learn — the state testing this spring will answer that for us,” Jim Erickson, su-

Additional funding for skills training, controlling property taxes, and providing tools to treat mental health and substance abuse are key platforms of Harsdorf’s campaign. More information on Harsdorf’s policy positions will be made available online at www. harsdorf.com. “I am proud to have helped lead the way to lower property taxes, responsible budgeting, and government reforms in the State Senate,” Harsdorf continued. “Additionally, I am honored to advance
the ideas and suggestions I receive from ordinary citizens seeking to address challenges in their communities, such as the HOPE Agenda to reduce heroin overdoses and improve treatment.” “I look forward to moving forward on our growth and prosperity agenda,” stated Harsdorf. “Now is not the time to return to the big spending ways of the past that led to billions in higher taxes on citizens and massive budget deficits. By putting working families and taxpayers first, we will be successful in fighting for family-supporting jobs and a lower tax burden.”

neyman plumber’s license,” Thoreson reported. “Once you obtain a journeyman’s license, like I have, you have to serve as a plumber for three years before you can take the test for your master’s license.” A part of that program are day and night school classes which Thoreson has attended, as well as continuing education. “There’s definitely schooling to finish and licenses to obtain before you take over a plumbing company,” he added. Now that he has control of the company, he doesn’t foresee any big changes. “I’m going to continue to try to run things like Steve has,” Thoreson remarked. “It’s worked well for the last 15 years since he started Burnett Plumbing.” A lot of that credit belongs to long-time employees like plumber Rob Drohman, office manager Danielle Romanowski and one of their newest employees, Dylan Longhenry. “We want to provide professional plumbing services in our area, provide trustworthy craftsmanship to our customers and to continue to provide excellent customer service,” he continued. “We want to grow the business as well.” He said the business focuses on residential construction, general plumbing services and water treatment. Staying up-to-date is vital in his business. “We want to be able to provide cutting-edge knowledge as well as staying current on plumbing trends,” Thoreson said. So what happens to McNally? He will stay on for the next 6-12 months. “Steve will be available for me to bounce ideas off of for as long as I need him,” Thoreson pointed out. Burnett Plumbing currently serves roughly a couple of thousand customers throughout Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties.

Cleveland and Peaches and Cream (PC) are two of four cats that were surrendered from a nearby farm. Although they had a good life on the farm, their owners thought they deserved better. Because of how striking they are, not to mention their wonderful personalities, this duo will do well in a home setting. How do we know that? Because they’ve been at the shelter for a while now and love their time in the office, where they can lounge around and greet all the staff, Cleveland volunteers, and visitors. We don’t know if these two are siblings, but they were raised together and wouldn’t mind staying together, if the opportunity arises. Cleveland and PC are not opposed to being adopted separately either. Each have unique col- Peaches & Cream (PC) ors and markings, and their fur is as soft as a bunny. A little birdy told me that if you adopt two cats together, you may get a deal on the fee. I can’t believe this pair of kitties haven’t been nabbed up before this. Also, Cleveland and PC are good with dogs. Whether you are looking for one cat or two, we’ve got some great felines at the shelter just waiting for a home. This will be my last reminder of our upcoming Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser on Saturday, April 30, from 4-7 p.m. Even though this article will be coming out close to the dinner, there is still time to purchase raffle tickets and to donate new items for our Silent Auction. Come join us for a worthy cause! Our next fundraiser will be the Annual Plant Sale from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 28. Annuals, vegetables, and perennials will be available and 100 percent of all sales will be donated to the New Shelter Building Fund.

County takes $5 million note •Ten-year loan for new highway shop will raise taxes at least $22 per year per $100,000 property value BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—It was a quick honeymoon as the Burnett County Board of Supervisors approved borrowing $5 million for the building of a new highway shop at its first meeting following the spring election earlier this month. To John Q. Taxpayer, that decision equates to a $22 to $27 hike in property taxes each year for the life of the loan — 10 years. The hike, based on $100,000 of property value, is variable due to unknown county valuations during the life of the loan. “The rate is slightly higher than we had anticipated,” County Administrator Nate Ehalt acknowledged. “That’s because we are looking at 18 installments (nine years) to repay the loan instead of 20 installments (10 years).” The county opted to do business with Bremer Bank, which quoted a 2.12 percentage rate for the loan. “It’s about the best we can do at this time,” County Board Chairman Don Taylor commented. “If we don’t approve this today, our costs will go up $250,000.” According to Ehalt, Bremer’s 2.12 percent rate was good only until April 20. “If the board had postponed the vote until May, the rate would have been closer to 2.65 percent, which based upon 10-year term would equate to an additional $250,000 in interest over the life of the loan,” he explained. The new shop bid was awarded to Market and Johnson at $5.9 million. In other business: • The board voted to fund the county’s anticipated K-9 program. “With as bad a drug problem as we have, it is important that we move

ahead, member Gary Lundberg reasoned. “The public has indicated an interest but we shouldn’t count on that but rather make it a budgeted item.” The sheriff’s department has proposed a startup cost of $20,000 for the first year and $10,000 per year for ensuing years. With last week’s action, the department is on track to deploy the fully trained K-9 dog and K-9 officer in January 2017. • The board approved establishing a Criminal Justice Collaborating Council (CJCC). “The grant we get to help run our drug court and other programs will start to be awarded on a competitive basis in 2017,” Drug Court Coordinator Tessa Anderson told board members. “If we don’t have an active CJCC, we wouldn’t be able to apply — and we’d like to keep our drug court.” • The board went on record asking the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs to return the County Vet-
eran Service Office block grant to its pre-2015 intent. “The Veterans Department Secretary has made it difficult to use the grant — essentially rendering it null and void,” said Chris Sybers, chair of the county’s health and community services committee, which oversees the veteran’s office, shared with fellow members. “A lot of Wisconsin counties are passing this kind of resolution — hopefully it will gain traction in the Legislature and they can overturn the Secretary’s actions.” • In addition to each of the supervisors taking the oath of office at the start of the meeting, members nominated and elected county board leaders. Don Taylor, Ed Peterson and Rick Anderson were all nominated and elected by unanimous ballot to the posts they served last term — board chairman, first vice-chair and second vice-chair, respectively.
A glimmer of hope on the reciprocity horizon GRANTSBURG—It’s been six years since tax reciprocity with Minnesota was taken off the books, and State Senator Sheila Harsdorf says nary a week goes by without someone bringing it up. “It’s very important to our part of the state — we work hard every year to re-

store it,” she pointed out. Harsdorf said the agreement was lost in 2009 because Minnesota was asking for a lot of concessions from Wisconsin in order to continue with the program. She said the Wisconsin Department of Administration really tried hard to get the program restored. In fact, Wisconsin had agreed to all of the changes Minnesota was looking for, so it looked like reciprocity would be continued. “But then Minnesota saw a $6 million increase to its coffers without reciprocity and they wanted Wisconsin to pay that amount,” Harsdorf explained. “That killed any agreement we might have had. If we went ahead with it, we’d be subsidizing them and we can’t do that.”
In addition to being a hardship for those living in Wisconsin and working on the other side of the river, Harsdorf said it is an absolute nightmare for businesses in any border community. “They have to vary the withholding amounts of their employees taxes depending on which state they claim residency in,” she added. There might be a glimmer of hope when it comes to reciprocity. “There are some legislators in Minnesota who have written a provision to discuss reciprocity — it could open the door to further talks,” Harsdorf noted. She said any action would come from the state’s conference committee on taxation. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel
WISCONSIN BRIEFING Walker signs child abuse, trafficking bills MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker signed half-a-dozen bills last week designed to curtail child abuse and sex trafficking during visits to law enforcement facilities around the state. All of the bills had bipartisan support in the Legislature. The governor signed them throughout the day during stops at sheriff’s departments in Brown, St. Croix and Marathon counties and the Waukesha County courthouse. One bill requires the state Department of Children and Families to develop a procedure for investigating abuse of a disabled child. Another creates the crime of repeated physical abuse of a child; if a jury agreed that at least three
instances of abuse took place, the perpetrator could be charged with a crime ranging from a Class E felony to a Class A felony depending on the severity of the child’s injuries. A third bill expands the definition of child sex trafficking to include transporting a child for commercial sex and require police to refer abuse cases to a child welfare agency if a person who isn’t a caregiver allows or encourages a child to engage in prostitution or sells the child for sex. The fourth bill requires DCF, the Department of Corrections, county social services and child welfare agencies to report to police within eight hours if any child under their control goes missing.

Local grads wanted Jensen recognizes that graduates are going to leave to get a degree, and perhaps get some experience in their field. After doing that, she asks them to consider coming home. “Even if they don’t have a lot of experience, if we have an open position and they’re a good fit for us, we want to talk with them. “There’s something to be said about being local, because if you’re coming back to where you came from, chances are you’re going to stick around. If you have roots here, that’s good. We welcome people who come back.” Jensen recently spoke to Grantsburg High School students whose “Career Cluster” exam indicated they wanted to explore a career in medicine. “I want them to know it can be done. By getting the right education and training starting in high school, you can be successful in a medical career. And, you can have a great job in your hometown if that’s what you choose.”

Advancement and job security Jensen says the medical center encourages employees to continue their education, which is not only personally satisfying but can lead to staff positions with greater responsibility and pay. “While working at BMC, I have been encouraged to continue my education,” she says. “And, we offer opportunities for education here too. We invite specialists to come in and speak to our staff.” She cited a recent trainHeather Jensen, R.N ing where BMC Clinic Administrator a medical s p e ci a l i s t spoke to the staff about diagnosing and treating respiratory illnesses in children. A career in healthcare offers job security. “We will always need help here,” Heather says. “Always. We have birth, we have death, and everything in between. “Our nursing home is very important to us at BMC and to the community. It’s one of the best. In the past two cycles, it has earned five-star (top) ratings,” she proudly states. And, she adds, “When you work where you grew up, you have the advantage of knowing people. Local people, those who have grown up here, have a heart for the place that comes through to our patients in the care they receive.”
FIEDLER FORD, INC.
Get the big picture She encourages students considering a career in medicine to broaden their thinking. “Young people need to know that a career in medicine is not limited to just doctors and nurses and physical therapists. We have an IT department. If you’re good with computers, there’s a need here. Maintenance is a huge need. With the all equipment here, maintenance keeps us running. “The billing office, medical coding, medical records -— all those things are just so vital to what we do. Yes, nurses and doctors get a lot of the attention because of the daily interaction with patients, but there are so many great careers behind the scenes. “At a young age, girls who are interested in medicine say, ‘I want to do work with kids in Pediatrics or the Neonatal ICU — the glamorous jobs.’ And that’s good. But first, there is something to be said for working where you live and where you have grown up, and getting a really good foundation working as a floor nurse. “I took care of a lot of people I
have never met before, but I also took care of people who were my neighbors and friends, and that is so special. Our patients love that here at BMC, hometown people are caring for them. Our patients tell us, ‘In a Twin Cities hospital I am just a number, but here people know me by name. They know me and my family and they care more about me.’”

Born where she works “When people ask me how long I have been at BMC, I answer that I’ve worked here almost 11 years, but I actually was born here and received many years of care here. I worked elsewhere for a few years but wanted to come back to work at our hospital and clinic,” she says. Jensen’s first health care job was patient registration in BMC’s emergency room. When she decided to go into nursing, she got an RN Associate (3-year degree) and came back to Grantsburg to work and continue her education, moving up the ranks to Clinic Administrator. Last December, she finished a Bachelor of Nursing RN degree at Bethel University in St. Paul.

Editor’s Note: Second in a series about career opportunities for graduates exploring options to live and work in their home community. At a Career Expo on Thursday afternoon, June 2, at Grantsburg High School, students will learn of job opportunities from area businesses who will showcase their hometown jobs and the benefits they offer. That evening, the Career Expo will open to the general public.
Job shadowing is important Jensen encourages students to take advantage of job-shadowing opportunities. “That way, you see if a particular job is something that you might want to do. We are contacted frequently by young people who want to come and spend a day, just to see what the job really is. We try to honor that whenever we can. That’s the best thing they can do before choosing a course of study.” She adds that some colleges and tech schools offering careers in medicine require students to job shadow for a certain amount of hours before you start the program. In some cases it’s eight hours in job shadowing, but others schools may want to see 40 or more hours of documented, job-shadow experience. “They want to know, when you start their program, that you know what they job is and you’re actually going to like it. School is not cheap, so it’s a good idea to look closely at the job first and ask yourself, ‘Is this something I could do every day?’” She points to her daughter, Briena, who is starting her studies to become a Physical Therapy Assistant while still in high school. “At Briena’s first program at WITC, she needed 40 hours of job shadowing. Now as she prepares for study at St. Kate’s (St. Catherine University in St. Paul) she needed another eight hours of job shadowing. “Briena now knows through her job-shadowing experience at BMC that this is what she really wants to do. I think it helps motivate you through school, to know that ‘I’m really going to like this job when I get done.’” She adds, “Sometimes people get a degree right out of high school without ever working in that field. That works out for some, but for others it doesn’t. School is expensive and you don’t want to waste your time or your money.”

Transportation Program ‘Q&A’ for ADRC of NW Wisconsin BY: CARRIE MYERS RESOURCE SPECIALIST FOR THE ADRC OF NW WI
It is no secret that small towns, such as those in Burnett County, struggle to fill the need of transportation services. With no public transportation, people are left with providing their own or leaning on family or friends for transportation. The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin is one of few agencies that help fill that need, through our Elderly and Disabled Transportation Program and Volunteer Driver Program. We provide non-emergency transportation to and from local and out-of-area locations for individuals who are 60 years of age and older and individuals of all ages who have a disability. Medical appointments are our top priority, however, we accept other transportation requests and are able to accommodate on a case-by-case basis. Transportation is provided by volunteer drivers, people out in the community who understand the need and want to help fill it! Keep reading for details about our program and get your questions answered with the following Q&A. How much does this service cost? Unfortunately we are unable to provide this service for free; however, we do provide it at a steal of deal! Co-payments are based on the number of miles traveled by the volunteer driver starting from and ending at the volunteer driver’s home. We pick the volunteer closest to the passenger’s home to ensure co-payments are as low as possible. Co-payments are $0.27 per mile. For individuals who utilize our program for five or more appointments/ rides per month, the co-payment drops to $0.14 per mile. These prices are subject to change from year to year; however, passengers are notified of all increases
and decreases. The cost for Veterans is a little trickier and varies based upon where they are going and whether they receive travel-pay benefits through the Veterans Administration (VA). For veterans who do not receive travel-pay benefits, we provide transportation to and from the VA Medical Center of their choice (Rice Lake, St Cloud, and Minneapolis) for $30 per trip. If a veteran receives travel-pay benefits from the VA, the cost for the trip equals the travel benefits they receive each time they go to their VA Medical Center for an appointment. For trips to other medical facilities or for other transportation needs, the co-payment prices per mile listed above, apply. How do I get started so I can request transportation through the ADRC Program? First, call the ADRC of NW WI at 877-485-2372 at least two weeks in advance to ensure all paperwork is complete prior to when you’ll need transportation assistance. We ask each new rider to complete a demographic information form, which gathers basic contact information as well as financial information. The financial information helps us determine if you are able to pay the co-payment. Financial disclosure is an option; however, non disclosure will result in the full co-payment being charged. How do I make a ride request? Once you are entered and approved in our dispatch program you are eligible to make ride requests! From then on, we request a minimum of a two day notice for ride requests, so we have plenty of time to find a volunteer to fill your transportation need. I’m on Wisconsin Medical Assistance; can I use
Wisconsin offers non-expiring IDs to Seniors BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation now offers non-expiring identification (ID) cards to Wisconsin residents. To qualify, an individual must be (1) a Wisconsin resident, (2) a U.S. citizen, and (3) age 65 or over. The non-expiring ID cards give seniors the opportunity to have a state ID for voting purposes—without requiring seniors to get a new picture taken every eight years. The non-expiring ID will have the same appearance and security features as a stan-

dard expiring ID card, but in place of the expiration date it will indicate that it is “non-expiring.” Is it right for you? Seniors should carefully consider whether the non-expiring ID is right for them. First, to obtain a non-expiring ID, a senior will need to surrender his or her driver license. When an individual surrenders his or her driver license, they are ineligible to drive in any state. Second, the non-expiring IDS are not “Real ID”compliant. Real ID cards must be renewed every eight years. The Real ID Act sets minimum security standards for sources of identification. Federal agencies cannot accept ID cards from states that do not meet the minimum security standards. For example, if you plan to visit a federal facility or a military base, you will need an ID that meets the act’s standards. According to the official Website of the Department of Homeland Security, Real ID requirements do not apply to the following: entering federal facilities that do not require ID, voting, applying for or receiving federal benefits, being licensed to drive, accessing health or life-preserving services, or participating in law enforcement proceedings or investigations. The non-expiring IDS are currently free of charge and serve as legal identification for voting purposes.

Most individuals receiving Wisconsin Medical Assistance get their non-emergency, medical-transportation needs paid for through their medical assistance benefits, provided through the transportation service, MTM. However, Medical-Assistance benefits do not cover other transportation needs. Individuals receiving Wisconsin Medical Assistance could use our transportation services for other transportation needs outside of medical transportation, but remember, our program is only able to provide this transportation on a case-by-case basis. Contact MTM to find out if you qualify for non- emergency medical transportation through your Wisconsin Medical Assistance benefits at 866-907- 1493. My budget is already stretched to the max. Are there any special programs available for individuals in my situation? One of the main reasons we gather financial information on the initial demographic form, is to evaluate if indeed it would be a hardship for the passenger to pay the co-payment amount. In addition, we connect those unable to pay the co-payment amount with one of our benefit specialists. The benefit specialist is able to look a little deeper and see if the passenger qualifies for any assistance or other programs. We provide a waiver for these individuals who can’t afford the co-payment, providing transportation at no cost. All avenues and options are researched before granting the waiver. Interested in being a driver? Individuals interested in becoming a volunteer driver, or if you have other questions, please call the ADRC at 877-485-2372
News for same-sex couples about Social Security BY BOB TROTTER SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST IN MILWAUKEE, WI
Last year, the Supreme Court issued a decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, holding that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry in all states. As a result, Social Security recognizes more same-sex couples as married for purposes of determining entitlement to Social Security benefits or eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We recently updated instructions for employees to process claims and appeals when a determination of marital status is necessary. As part of the new instructions, we have: Removed from our policy any mention or consideration of the dates when states first recognized same-sex marriages from other states. These dates are no longer relevant. Added the dates when some foreign jurisdictions allowed same-sex marriage, thereby eliminating the need for a case-specific legal review in many foreign samesex marriage claims. Updated and simplified our procedures for processing claims involving a transgendered or intersex person, allowing these individuals to self-identify as members of a same- or opposite-sex marriage. Streamlined and clarified the policy instructions, addressing questions raised by advocates and employees. We encourage anyone who believes they may be eligible for benefits to apply now. Learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov/same-sexcouples.
Calling all Centenarians! It is that time of year again when The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Northwest Wisconsin starts searching for Polk and Burnett County Centenarians—individuals who are 100 (or more) years old. Each year we recognize and celebrate these special individuals. Last year, we learned of 21 centenarians— all Polk County residents. Of these 21 Centenarians many were teachers at one
point in their life. Some were lifelong residents of Polk County, and some traveled throughout their life finally settling in the area. Twenty of the 21 were women. Two still lived in their own home (as of last July) and three ventured out to enjoy the Polk County Centenarian Celebration at the Polk County Fair! If you know someone who was born in 1916 or before and would like to be recognized and celebrated, please contact Carrie at the ADRC at 877-485-2372.

Social Security questions & answers General
8 p.m.; and Monitor your credit report.
Question: I received a notice from Social Security recently. It said my name and Social Security number do not match Social Security’s records. What should I do? Answer: It’s critical that your name and Social Security number, as shown on your Social Security card, match your employer’s payroll records and your W-2 form. If they don’t, here is what you need to do: Give your employer the correct information exactly as shown on your Social Security card or your corrected card; or Contact your local Social Security office (www.socialsecurity.gov/locator) or call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) if your Social Security card does not show your correct name or Social Security number. For more information, visit our website at www.socialsecurity.gov. Question: How do I report a lost Social Security card? Answer: You don’t have to report a lost Social Security card. In fact, reporting a lost or stolen card to Social Security won’t prevent misuse of your Social Security number. You should let us know if someone is using your number to work (call 1-800-772-1213; TTY 1-800-325-0778). If you think someone is using your number, there are several other actions you should take: Contact the Federal Trade Commission online at www.ftc.gov/bcdp/edu/microsites/idtheft or call 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338); File an online complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov; Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit by calling 1-800-908-4490, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. –
Answer: Social Security uses the formulas below, depending on your age, to determine how much you can earn before we must reduce your benefit: If you are younger than 65 (full retirement age) $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2016, that limit is $15,720. In the year you reach your full retirement age: $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $3 you earn above a different limit, but we stop countings earnings the month you reach full retirement age. For 2016, this limit is $41,880. Starting with the month you reach full retirement age, you will get your benefits with no limit on your earnings. Find out your full retirement age at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/ageincrease.htm.
Retirement Question: What is the benefit amount a spouse may be entitled to receive? Answer: If you’re eligible for both your own retirement benefit and for benefits as a spouse, we will always pay you benefits based on your record first. If your benefit as a spouse is higher than your retirement benefit, you will receive a combination of benefits equaling the higher spouse’s benefits. A spouse generally receives 50 percent of the retired worker’s full benefit, unless the spouse begins collecting benefits before full retirement age. If the spouse begins collecting benefits before full retirement age, the amount of the spouse’s benefit is reduced by a percentage based on the number of months before he or she reaches full retirement age. For example, based on a full retirement age of 66, if a spouse begins collecting benefits: At age 65, the benefit amount would be about 46 percent of the retired worker’s full benefit; At age 64, it would be about 42 percent; At age 63, 37.5 percent; and At age 62, 35 percent. However, if a spouse is taking care of a child who is either under age 16 or disabled and receives Social Security benefits on the same record, a spouse will get full benefits, regardless of age. Learn more by reading our Retirement publication at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/10035.html.
Disability
Question: My brother had an accident at work last year and is now receiving Social Security disability benefits. His wife and son also receive benefits. Before his accident, he helped support another daughter by a woman he never married. Is the second child entitled to benefits? Answer: In most cases, yes. More details may be required.

What is FICA? BY BOB TROTTER SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST IN MILWAUKEE, WI
Receiving your first paycheck is an empowering milestone. Do you remember being a little shocked by the taxes that Uncle Sam takes out of each paycheck? Understanding how important your contribution is takes some of the sting away because your taxes are helping millions of Americans — and financially securing your today and tomorrow. By law, employers must withhold Social Security taxes from workers’ paychecks. While usually referred to as “Social Security taxes” on an employee’s pay statement, sometimes the deduction is labeled as “FICA.” This stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act, a reference to the original Social Security Act. In some cases, you will see “OASDI,” which stands for Old Age Survivors Disability Insurance, the official name for the Social Security Insurance program. The taxes you pay now mean a lifetime of protection — for retirement in old age or in the event of disability. And when you die, your family (or future family) may be able to receive survivors’ benefits based on your work as well. Right now you probably have family members — grandparents, for example — who already are enjoying Social Security benefits that your Social Security taxes help provide. Social Security is solvent now and will be through 2033. At that point, we’ll be able to fund retirement benefits at 75 percent unless changes are made to the law. In the past, Social Security has evolved to meet the needs of a changing population — and
you can count on Social Security in the future. Because you’re a long way from retirement, you may have a tough time seeing the value of benefit payments that could be many decades in the future. But keep in mind that the Social Security taxes you’re paying can provide valuable disability or survivors’ benefits in the event the unexpected happens. Studies show that of today’s 20-year-olds, about one in four will become disabled and about one in eight will die before reaching retirement. Be warned: if an employer offers to unlawfully pay you “under the table,” you should refuse. They may try to sell it as a benefit to you since you get a few extra dollars in your net pay. But, you’re really only allowing the employer to deprive you from earning your Social Security credits. This could keep you from qualifying for any benefits, or result in receiving less than you should. Also, don’t carry your Social Security card around with you. It’s an important document you should safeguard and protect. If it’s lost or stolen, it could fall into the hands of an identity thief. Check out our webinar, “Social Security 101: What’s in it for me?” The webinar explains what you need to know about Social Security. You can find it at http://go.usa.gov/cdNeY. If you’d like to learn a little more about Social Security and exactly what you’re earning for yourself by paying Social Security taxes, take a look at our online booklet, How You Earn Credits, at www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10072.html. You can also learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov.

Honoring our service members on Memorial Day BY BOB TROTTER SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST IN MILWAUKEE, WI
Traditionally, on Memorial Day we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Social Security respects the heroism and courage of our military service members, and we remember those who have given their lives in defense of freedom. The unexpected loss of a service member is a difficult experience for the family. Social Security helps by providing benefits to protect service members’ dependents. Widows, widowers, and their dependent children may be eligible for Social Security survivors’ benefits. You can learn more about Social Security survivors’ benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/survivors. It’s also important to recognize those service members who are still with us, especially those who have been wounded. Just as they served us, we have the obligation to serve them. Social Security has benefits to protect veterans when an injury prevents them from returning to active duty. Wounded military service members can also receive expedited processing of their disability claims. For example, Social Security will provide expedited processing of disability claims filed by veterans who have a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Compensation rating of 100 percent Permanent & Total (P&T). Depending on the situation, some family members of mil-

itary personnel, including dependent children and, in some cases, spouses, may be eligible to receive benefits. You can get answers to commonly-asked questions and find useful information about the application process at www. socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors. Service members can also receive Social Security in addition to military retirement benefits. The good news is that your military retirement benefit does not reduce your Social Security retirement benefit. Learn more about Social Security retirement benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/retirement. You may also want to visit the Military Service page of our Retirement Planner, available at www.socialsecurity. gov/retire2/veterans.htm. Service members are also eligible for Medicare at age 65. If you have health insurance from the VA or under the TRICARE or CHAMPVA programs, your health benefits may change, or end, when you become eligible for Medicare. Learn more about Medicare benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/ medicare. In acknowledgment of those who died for our country, those who served, and those who serve today, we at Social Security honor and thank you.

Social Security, a super hero to many Americans BY BOB TROTTER SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST MILWAUKEE
Summer movie season is about to start, and that means your favorite blockbuster heroes are about to do battle. Captain America is back to defend the country. The X-Men are joining forces to stop an impending apocalypse. And, there will be another “Independence Day” movie, where the world narrowly escapes total annihilation — again! In a lot of ways, Social Security is a super hero to millions of Americans. Like Captain America, we come to the rescue when disability strikes. One in four of today’s 20-year-olds will become disabled before they retire. You can learn more about people with disabilities and how we help them at www.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityfacts. You might not have been born with uncanny superpowers like the X-Men, but you were born with the right to earn retirement and disability benefits. Social Security is a lifeline for most retirees, keeping tens of millions out of poverty. Fifty-one percent of the workforce has no private pension coverage. Thirty-four percent of the workforce has no savings set aside specifically for retirement. You can learn more about the bene-

Statistics for the month of March • 2,741 miles driven. • 6 furniture moves. • 58 food distributions. • 7 wood deliveries. • 2 ramps up and 2 down. • 428 volunteer hours. • 67 seniors assisted. What’s next? The 50/50 raffle is going strong, and we will have other fundraisers. We will let everyone know in plenty of time. An amusing episode When we deliver food, it is a two-day
project. Sometimes people like to ride along with Denny for the food deliveries just to meet some of the people. One time, Denny took two pastors from a local church with him. At the home of one senior, Denny stopped at the end of the driveway. Both pastors wondered why, and Denny pointed to the sign that said “If you can read this, you are in range.” One pastor was hunkering down in the back seat and the other just sat there, eyes wide, looking for a rifle aimed their way. Denny called ahead to tell the gentleman of visitors at his driveway. He raises free-range chickens and geese, so stepping out of the truck and going to the house takes some zigging and zagging to miss the mess. Both pastors got to meet and visit with this interesting guy. Heading back to the truck, the two pastors once again danced around what the chickens and geese left behind. And so, on to the next person. Never a dull moment. One never knows when something story-worthy may happen. Joyful event ahead A footnote: we are going to be great grandparents again. A little girl will be born in August and she will be met by her big sister, Kalea. I think we are almost as excited as Kalea is. See you next month. Barb

Avoid eating too much sugar Last weekend, at an outdoor lake party, I felt as if I were in a storybook. It was a perfect day–a bonfire crackling, lots of kids playing ice soccer–picturesque. The only problem was the delicious looking treats and extra thick and rich hot cocoa. Everything looked so tempting. A friend and I shared observations about eating sugary treats. I swell up like a balloon if I eat too much sugar—that is, I retain water. I know this because the scale will jump up a few pounds and my clothes feel tight. Many people retain water from too much salt. In excess, both sugar and salt have detrimental effects on our body. Research on sugar and fluid retention is hard to find. More information is available about salt and fluid retention. Since sugar is a carbohydrate, the way our bodies process carbohydrates can increase fluid retention, if consumed in excess. Moderation is key. Cutting back on sugar is not easy because it’s everywhere. I will avoid sugar, or at least reduce my consumption. It’s not going to be easy, but I
know I can do it. I will have my fridge full of veggies and fruits that are naturally low in sugar, like tomatoes and avocados, I will drink lots of water, especially bea meal so I feel Wild Chow fore full and won’t be as likely to want dessert Lisa Erickson and lastly — this may sound silly — but I will brush my teeth after dinner. That way, I am less likely to eat a treat later in the evening. The minty flavor of the tooth paste ruins the flavor of treats. This dip is so healthy you could eat it with a spoon. I prefer avocado instead of a mayo base. The avocado has good fats, fiber and is very good for us.

Lady Pirates set school record BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS
FREDERIC—Not only did the Lady Pirate 4X800 relay team set a school record on their way to a solid second place finish at the Frederic Invitational track meet on Thursday in Frederic, they crushed the previous best — shaving 13 seconds off the time set by the 2015 squad. The team of Hallie Jensen, Violet Ohnstad, Gracie Gerber and Brittanie Blume crossed the line in 10:39.9 — 13.1 seconds ahead of the school record set last season. “We knew this would be a solid 4x800 team, but they are proving to be a force that will be fun to watch as the season
goes on,” coach Kim Hallberg noted. “Our athletes are all working hard every practice, so we expect them to continue to improve.” The running events continue to be the bread and butter for the Pirates. Sprinter Delia Labatt took first in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes, with times of 13.6 and 27.49, respectively. To say the 100 meter dash race was close is an understatement — eight one-hundredths of a second separated first, second and third places. “Delia has really come out as a leader this year,” Hallberg continued. “She continues to SEE RECORD, PAGE 19

The coach credits that to the play of Alec Ralph and Brett Johnson. “They have improved tremendously over the first few weeks of the season,” Wood praised. “They are both shooting 12 strokes below where they started the season.” Even though Knutson was medalist and fellow golfer Jared Lee was 3-over at 39, the Grantsburg Pirates as a team tied for fourth. Joey Duncan carded a 55, but the team’s fourth and fifth golfers, Luke Trittlewitz and Shane Tooze shot 72 and 73 respectively. Trittlewitz’s 72 included an 18 on the second hole. 18? “It was Luke’s first varsity match,” John Addison remarked. “If you’re going to shoot an ‘18,’ at least he did it well — he kept it together pretty well after that — I was pretty proud of him.”

DANBURY—Grantsburg senior Jordan Knutson earned medalist honors by carding a 1-over 37 on the 3,237-yard par-36 front nine at Voyager Village Golf Course in Danbury last Thursday. Clouds threatened, but according to Mat Wood, coach of the host Webster/Siren team, the weather was not much of a factor in the meet. “It rained for about 20 minutes, but other than that it was a great day for golf,” he reported. His No. 1 golfer, Tate Fohrenkamm, tied for third by shooting a 5-over 41. “Tate continues to golf really well,” the coach praised. “He even took a 9 on one hole but kept fighting through his round to wind up in third.” The Webster/Siren co-op team

SUPERIOR—We saw perhaps the best pitcher that we have faced in the last several years. In her previous game, she had thrown a 10 inning no-hitter with 20 strike outs. We don’t think we will ever see another pitcher that good for the rest of the year. The field was dry … a bit cool but it was fine. The varsity and JV fields were back to back so it was easy to keep track of both games. It was nice to see lots of fans at the game. A game like this makes all the players grow up a little and hopefully, we are a better team today. They now have the experience of a close game as well as extra innings.

In the Unity game, the Storm had jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings. In the first inning with two out, Paige Bird, Riley Anderson, Sarah Shaffer and Paetyn McKnight all walked for the first run. The second inning saw Emily Stiemann walk, then Allie Webster singled.

Their number nine batter was now up and hit small blooper to right. We didn’t get it, then threw it wild to third and the game was tied. It would remain that way until the bottom of the eighth inning. Superior started the inning with a lead-off, line-drive double to center. With the potential game-winning run on second, we intentionally walked the next batter. After a ground-out to the pitcher, the runners moved up, so we intentionally walked the next batter to load the bases with one out. Unfortunately, the next batter battled to a walk of her own and the game ended 2-1. Superior would end up with two runs on six hits and seven walks. They would strike out 10 times. Grantsburg would have one
run on two hits and four walks. We struck out 16 times. It was a really good high school fast pitch game. Both teams played extremely well, and the fans that attended were treated to a classic. When you play somebody this good, it reminds you what you need to practice. Hopefully, we will take this experience and improve.

Pirates golfers win home meet GRANTSBURG—The Pirates won their home meet last Tuesday. “Jordan Knutson played very, very well,” coach John Addison praised. “He had a bogey-free round — seven pars and two birdies.” That 30 netted him medalist honors, but not the course record of 27 which, ironically, belongs to his coach. “It was a good round for him — he wasn’t swinging all that well,” the coach remarked. “He struggled to get to 30 but he did it.” As a team, the Pirates won the match by one. While each member contributes to the team victory, Addison said it was the play of Shane Tooze which tipped the end result in Grantsburg’s favor. “Shane played very well and I think he maintained a spot on the varsity roster,” the coach commented. “He was the wild card today — we wouldn’t have won without him.” Addison said Joey Duncan struggled and Jared Lee was inconsistent. “I just have to talk to the team about the importance of pars,” Addison remarked. “Jordan had seven pars and the rest of the team got five — I’ll probably have to yell at them a little about that.” The Pirates finished one stroke ahead of the Freder-
ic/Luck squad. One new twist to Tuesday’s round was the introduction of the shotgun start. Rather than each team teeing off on hole No. 1 and proceeding through the course, Tuesday’s start had a threesome or foursome on the different holes so all players could begin playing right away. “We’ve been working with the kids on speed-of-play,” Addison explained. “It was a huge problem at Clear Lake. It was a three-hour round of golf for nine holes — that was unacceptable.” He said the coaches will revisit the idea of a shotgun start at the conference meet at Voyager Village. Unlike the first conference match of the season, the co-op team of Webster/ Siren finished sixth out of six teams during the meet in Grantsburg — but that doesn’t mean there weren’t highlights. “Tate Fohrenkamm played extremely well and shot a 35, and Alec Ralph got his career low score with a 44,” coach Mat Wood pointed out. In addition to those two low scores on the team, Alexi Gloodt, Brett Johnson and Connor Raschke shot 50, 51 and 54, respectively. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel Sports

Webster Tigers Unlike the Pirates, the strength for the Tigers Thursday night came from the field event side of
competition. We set more personal records, but did not place as high in individual events,” coach Brad Nelson commented. “Again, we’re continuing to tweak where we put athletes, and since we have such a big team, we are trying to keep that movement until we find the strengths of each athlete.” Junior Jared Peltier was third in the 400 meter dash, crossing the line in 57.06, while Spencer Louis ran a 11:50.47 in the 3200 meter run, good for third. Teammates Andy Hartshorn, Richard Johnson, Kevin Vollendorf and Quentin Premo-Blume combined for another third in the 4X100, posting a time of 50.27. “We finished fourth overall, which I’m really happy with,” Nelson concluded. “We finished after Amery, Webster, and Unity, which are all very strong teams.”
Siren Dragons
The Dragons finished tied for fifth on the boys side of Thursday’s meet. Top-three honors go to Neil Oustigoff, who was third in the high jump with an effort of 6-0. The other honors belong to Tanner Lee, a member of the ‘Green Machine.” He was second in the discus with a toss of 133-0 and third in the shot put, with a throw of 40-6.75.

Sheriff Wilhelm introduced Margie Miller from the St. Croix Valley Foundation located in Hudson.

AIRPORT DISCUSSION County Board Supervisors were updated as to the current status of operations at the airport. Administrator Ehalt is acting Manager and Chuck Schultz is the attendant in charge of daily operations. Discussion ensued on the future vision of the airport and what type of management would best suit the needs of the county and the airport operations. Mr. Ehalt will work with the Infrastructure Committee and other stakeholders to develop a long term plan for presentation and recommendation to the full County Board of Supervisors.

They plan to identify the gaps and overlaps within the county. When the study is complete and information is available, the county board will need to decide if they would like to keep that fund for those specific purposes or utilize the fund in another way.

APRIL 27, 2016

‘And a little child shall lead them ... ’ Recently I was attempting to teach the children of my parish the meaning of the word “grace’ by providing each child a quarter when they come up for the Children’s Sermon. They are told they have been given the quarter as a free gift by the church. It is theirs to do with as they please —they may keep it to save, to spend on themselves or give to a special project. I told them I wouldn’t ask what they did with their quarters — again, I thought I was teaching them. Imagine my surprise when I learned the
children did the following during their Sunday School time: First, they decided to pool their quarters to buy a cow for a third world village. Since a cow was going to cost $550, they decided they would need to do some fundraising to multiple their quarters. Second, they decided together they would not send a pig because there is only one thing a pig is good for — its meat. But the other farm animals are good for several things. For example, the chicken provides eggs, will eat bugs in the garden as well as provide
meat. Third, when their fundraising ideas yielded more money than needed for a cow, they decided to include chickens, goats and a beehive. I should note they completed this process in three months and did it behind my back. So I raise the question: “Who taught whom?� I know I will be more open to children’s ideas and actions in the future.
