Property owners voice opposition to sidewalk

Garza finally headed to trial

Diego Garza, 46, has been in Burnett County custody for over two years. Law enforcement is hopeful he is finally headed to trial next month.

Jail Administrator explained to the public safety committee that Garza had been in the jail for over 2 years.

“He’s been up there and in our system for more than 780 days,” Schmidt said.

Sheriff Tracy Garza Finch said Garza has been “playing games” to delay his trial. Finch added that a judge retired in the middle of court proceedings, which also delayed the trial.

Former Washburn County Judge Eugene Harrington was slated to preside over the trial but he SEE GARZA, PAGE 2

About 20 property owners squeezed into the Siren Village board room for a public hearing regarding a sidewalk.

Following the public hearing the board voted unanimously to go forward with the sidewalk assessments. Before the vote Village President Dave Alden recommended changing, and the board approved, the rate to 2% interest over 10 years instead of 3% interest over 7 years.

Last year the village applied for a Community Block Development Grant (CBDG) and was approved for a pedestrian trail from Rich Tims Clear Lake Park to the stopSiren Bus Company lights. It will include a trail off of State Road 35/70 down Lanquist Street and will connect to 4th Avenue and the school.

In April, the village was approved for the project with up to $1,000,000 in grant funds.

Alden said he was in favor of the sidewalk assessment even though he will be assessed the most as owner of the Pinewood Motel.

Rich Tims of the Siren Bus Company was one

Brave young man veteran of many surgeries MILT HELMER

When we first met seventeen year old Brock Haverland of New Richmond on March 2nd 2020, the first thing he showed off was his many scars from the eleven surgeries he underwent at the Shriners Hospital for Children. To Brock it appeared as a sign of a long term brave struggle.

Brock’s journey started with treatment for a club foot, a problem he had from birth.

He was receiving treatment at Gillette Hospital in the Twin Cities. When he was just 2 years old his mother Melissa LaLiberty, said “The treatments and surgeries were starting to mount up”.

In the fall of 2004 she read a story in the paper about a boy who was treated by Shriners and was named parade marshal of a coming shrine parade.

She said to herself, “I’ve got to find me a Shriner.”

She started asking around

and learned that her father was having coffee with one of the guys at Johnson Motors and he said Curt Anderson, Johnson’s owner was a Shrine.

The message got to Curt and from that moment on her and son Brock’s life changed.

Anderson lined Brock up with the Shriners Hospital of Children in the Twin Cities.

Brock was in a walker at the time. His club foot required

of many property owners against the sidewalk. He said it did not make sense for him to pay for a sidewalk that the community will use.

“Why should my business pay for this sidewalk? I don’t see any benefit to Siren Bus Company,” Tims said. “My business pays enough in taxes, it doesn’t make sense for my business to pay for this when it will be used by the public. Why isn’t the public paying for it?”

Other property owners had similar issues. One man said that he only sees three people walking on the road.

The assessment district for this sidewalk was outlined in the public hearing paperwork.

It was broken down into three parts • All property fronting the east side of State Road 35 from its intersection with State Road 70/ County Road B to property across from Clear Lake Park.

• All property fronting Landquist Street from its intersection with State Road 35 to Fourth Avenue.

• All property front Fourth

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

The proposed sidewalk will run on the south side of State Road 35/70 from Clear Lake Park all the way to the village stoplights.

Avenue from its intersection with Landquist Street to County Road B. Ann Peterson, Siren village Clerk/Treasurer said all properties along the route will be assessed unless they are the homeowner’s primary residence. Meaning that commercial businesses, rental and secondary homes will be assessed for the sidewalk.

a lot of expensive surgeries. He also was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder named 49XXXXY Syndrome.

The disorder caused his bones to grow at different times so he was forced to have surgery to correct the differences as he grew.

So far he has logged 11 surgeries.

The most recent in 2018. In 2016 he had to have one bone cut in his leg due to the bone twisting. Brock is still due for more surgery which will be done by the Shriners Surgical team at Gillette.

Brock and his family found the Shrine Hospital friendly and treated them like family. Along the way Brock got an infection in the blood due to his weaken immune system. His surgeon, Dr. Mielke, has since been transferred down south, but he left him his cell phone number with orders to send him photographs of his treatments so he could keep up on his progress.

Brock is attending High School in New Richmond and keeps busy with his hobby of archery. He and his mother and his step dad shoot in winter and summer leagues.

This active teenager still has two to three more surgeries for sure and will continue to receive care through the Shriners Healthcare for Children in Woodbury.

With all the setbacks this active family remains positive and upbeat regardless of their many trials. Melissa’s ex-husband is still in Brock’s life and has been supportive.

Brock will serve as Grand Marshal of the Shrine and University homecoming game this fall. He will also be the guest of honor at the Potentate’s banquet Oct. 2 and lead the parade on Saturday Oct. 3 plus be introduced at the Little East West Shrine game at 12:45 p.m.

UTV and snowmobile usage on the new sidewalk, snow removal and the road being the Department of Transportation Right of Way. “If it’s in the right of way, what’s to stop the DOT from moving the road in seven years and ripping up the sidewalk,” Mike Swanson said.

Teresa Anderson of MSA Professional Services attended the meeting and said the DOT

has no plans to change the roadway in the future. She continued to explain the village board has been trying to get this type of pedestrian trail done for seven years.

“During that time the board looked at all different types of trail and where to put it. We did look at putting the trail on the opposite side of the road,” Anderson said.

She added that the property

owners will only be paying for the price of the concrete for the five-foot wide sidewalk.

“Other projects have assessed property owners for the engineering and design,” Anderson said. “That would be much more expensive.”

A discussion started about liability on the sidewalk and Police Chief Chris Sybers and Alden stepped in to state that the property owners would not be liable if someone gets hurts on the sidewalk in front of their property.

Alden allowed everyone to speak once. A few people had special circumstances like an office in their home, Alden said he would speak with them individually about their concerns.

Another concern was keeping the sidewalk clear during the winter.

Public Works Director Jim Jaskolka explained how they plow sidewalks in the village after larger snowfalls but not for all snowfalls.

Alden said there would be more conversations in the future about how the sidewalk will be maintained during the winter.

Sacharski integral to solving towers JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

For years Steve Sacharski, technologist specialist, has been updating the public safety committee on various technology topics.

He gave his letter of resignation and retirement to Sheriff Tracy Finch in February.

“I have been fortunate enough to have been a part of the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office for over 20 years,” Sacharski’s letter stated.

Supervisor Gary Lundberg spoke to the importance of Sacharski with the Sheriff’s Office. “It should be noted the job Steve did. He came into something brand new that was obviously lacking,” Lundberg said. “We all learned from the tower program that our knowledge was lacking. He stepped in and took charge to work across lines.”

Along with the communication towers, accident reconstruction was one

of Sacharski’s areas of expertise and Sheriff Finch said a number of deputies are already interested in taking.

“He did a phenomenal job for us.

We’re going to miss him very much,” Finch said.

Chief Deputy Jameson Wiltrout also spoke to the importance of Sacharski’s work over the last two decades.

“I just want to say to the board, Steve put in over 20 years and he helped train me and trained a lot of our people. Whether it was the crash reconstruction and weighing of trucks, he did a lot of specialized and really good stuff to get our department where we are today. He really helped clean up the mess that was the towers.”

Overseeing the communication towers has been passed on to Emergency Manager Jim Tolbert.

The public safety committee did vote to fill the vacant position left by Sacharski. His last day will be March 13.

announced his retirement last May. Garza has been charged with possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, a class C felony, two counts of battery to law enforcement officer, a class H felony, disarming a peace officer, a class H felony, resisting an officer, a class A misdemeanor, possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors.

According to the criminal complaint, on Jan. 16, 2018 Garza was in the Probation and Parole office when he was informed he was under arrest. He tried to leave the office and ended up on the ground with a sheriff’s deputy.

During the altercation, multiple tasers were deployed. Garza was tased in the abdomen and the fight made its way out of the office outside. At some point, Garza gained control of the taser and began using it against the officers.

Garza eventually got away from a deputy and the office’s chief deputy and ran off toward the woods near the office.

Sheriff Finch characterized the altercation near the probation office as a “knock down drag out fight that lasted quite a while.”

Garza’s trial is set to begin April 21 – 23 in Burnett County in front of Polk County Judge Daniel Tolan.

I don’t wanna use my hands

H

ow about that weather and sunshine this weekend? What a wonderful taste of spring.

I got out of the house and did some walking around town. Very enjoyable and who knows, maybe we’ll have an actual spring season this year.

But we all know there’s a very good chance at a blizzard around Easter.

People certainly are worried about COVID-19 or coronavirus aren’t they?

News stories over the last week have covered several topics but the most interesting topic to me is how people are preparing for the virus.

Disclaimer: I just want to point out that I am not a medical professional and, like most people, do not know the full extent of the virus.

Sentinel Let me ask you a question - what is the one thing you never want to Editor run out of at home?

Jonathan Richie Toilet paper, that’s my answer.

If I run out of food I can always go out and buy more food. But what does one do when they run out of toilet paper?

I usually buy the mega pack of double-ply and that fills the closet in my bathroom. So, I’ve got quite a bit of lead time before I run out. I usually have two rolls in the closet when I buy a mega-pack.

But what if when I go to the Dollar General in Siren and they don’t have any toilet paper?

News stories released last week showed that there is no more toilet paper in Australia. However, Kleenex Bathroom Australia tweeted out a picture from South Australia of a worker standing in front of pallets full of toilet paper going probably 20 feet in the air, it was well over a million rolls of toilet paper.

My mother always said if a storm is coming, it’s best to buy “milk, bread and toilet paper.”

Those were the three items we would need in case of an emergency.

This is tied to my deep love for indoor plumbing.

My grandfather started a commercial plumbing company in eastern Pennsylvania and my uncle has taken over. Now they focus more on the plumbing and pipes of large farms. So indoor plumbing is in my blood.

In school, we would have to write those essays and the prompt would inevitably be “What is the best invention?” Every time that prompt would show up I’d write that indoor plumbing is better than electricity, advancements in modern science and video games.

This goes hand in hand with news the CDC came out with last week. The CDC is advising people to stop shaking people’s hands to stop the spread of the virus, which is great for me. So, thank you CDC for giving me an excuse to be rude to people.

“I don’t want to get coronavirus!,” Richie yelled at (insert public official name here) as he ran away with his hand covering his face.

Just remember, buy toilet paper when you notice you’re down to two rolls.

Appreciating the Duke

S

t. Patrick’s Day is next week, the time when all the world is Irish, at least for a few hours.

It’s usually at this time of the year my favorite John Wayne movie airs. “The Quiet Man,” made in 1952, is a true gem of a movie. Wayne stars as Sean Thorton, a professional boxer who retires to Ireland after killing a man in the ring. Thorton looks to rebuild his life in the hometown of his ancestors who emigrated to the United States. He is even able to buy the ancestral cottage where his mother grew up.

Wayne has sworn to be a non-violent man and even falls in love and marries. Circumstances force him From the Publisher’s to fight to save his marriage with a wonderful bare knuckle fight with Desk his brother-in-law. The pair brawl over the countryside, stopping for a Tom Stangl pint before continuing.

J h F d di John Ford directed the movie, which is shot in wonderful Technicolor. Ford wanted to do this movie so badly he agreed to do a western to seal the deal with the studio. A true labor of love. The cinematography is gorgeous. Maureen O’Hara, Victor McLaglen, Ward Bond and Barry Fitzgerald round out a wonderful cast. Well written and clever, it’s a true feast.

Yes, I like the movie.

Until I stated watching old movies on TV 25 years ago, I wasn’t a fan of John Wayne. The man I knew from my childhood was Wayne, also known as “The Duke,” in the twilight of his life. In my eyes, he was a walking caricature.

This bias kept me from watching his work, something I now regret. In addition to being able to ride a horse and throw a punch, the man could act. In one of his final films, “The Shootist,” he plays a gunfighter seeking redemption at the end of his life.

His portrayal of a common cavalry soldier in “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” and “Fort Apache” show the quiet dignity and honor of so many Americans of Wayne’s generation.

His performance in “Stagecoach” in 1939 is iconic and understated. His turn as Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit” is wonderfully over the top, playing a character that is larger than life, just like John Wayne. He won his only Academy Award for “True Grit.”

Last month, I saw a 1950 western I had never seen before. The 1950 film “The Gunfighter,” starred Gregory Peck as Johnny Ringo, a gunfighter who wanted to stop being a gunfighter and lead a new life with his true love, who doesn’t want to see him. Peck tries to outrun his past, but his reputation won’t let him walk away.

It was a good movie even though Gregory Peck with a mustache doesn’t quite work.

In the notes given before the movie, Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz commented that Wayne desperately wanted the rights to the screenplay so he could star and produce in the film, only to be outbid by a studio.

It’s a shame because I think the movie would have worked better on many levels if Wayne had been the star. In 1950 he was an icon looking to be taken more seriously and this film would have been perfect for him.

I’ll admit it. I was wrong about the Duke. If you get a chance, check out “The Quiet Man.” Even fans of the Duke like it.

SUNSHINE WEEK

WILD CHOW

SPJ calls on Congress to pass strong Federal Shield Law that protects journalists and whistleblowers DANIELLE MCLEAN FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMITTEE CHAIR SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS

Each day, journalists throughout the country are working tirelessly to inform their readers what the government is up to. The free press is one of the most important pillars of American democracy. By reporting the truth, reporters allow the citizenry to elect leaders that represent their values and ideals and craft laws and policies that they believe in.

But historically, government officials have worked overto keep their misdeeds, Sunshine time mistakes, or controversial Week decisions hidden from the Danielle McLean public. Journalists often rely on whistleblowers within the government to tip them off on the decisions being made behind closed doors and give them insight into what’s really going on.

Last year, the Society of Professional Journalists and the Government Accountability Project released The Whistleblower Project, which told the stories of many of those brave and essential government and corporate workers. Often whistleblowers risk their careers and mental health to reveal the truth. Despite being protected by a patchwork of laws, whistleblowers at city halls, state houses, at federal agencies and on Wall Street, face retaliation from their superiors and peers.

They have not been getting much support from the White House in recent years. Former president Barack Obama arrested eight people for leaking secrets under the Espionage Act. President Donald Trump has also prosecuted sources under the same law.

More troubling, Trump has waged a war on the truth. Time and time again, Trump has expressed his disdain for reporters, which he

famously calls “enemies of the American people” as well as their sources, which he refers to as “leakers.” The Department of Justice, under Trump, has ramped up leak investigations and his former Attorney General Jeff Sessions threatened to criminally charge people who leaked classified information.

There is a reason the Trump administration has taken such as a strong stance against whistleblowers. Last year, an EPA staffer exposed how Trump’s former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and his aides kept secret calendars and schedules so they could hide meetings and calls with coal and oil industry representatives.

Pruitt resigned following the scandal.

Whistleblowers have also exposed how the administration’s harsh immigration policies have harmed children, especially kids who have been detained and separated from their families.

Public outcry following a media spotlight on its immigration practices prompted the Trump administration to reverse course and end its socalled “zero tolerance” policies.

Due to these new threats, stronger laws that protect whistleblowers have become even more vital. The Society of Professional Journalists calls on congress to pass a strong federal shield law that better protects journalists and whistleblowers.

It also calls on new legislation that will better protect whistleblowers within the intelligence community, provides protections for congressional staffers, allows the Office of the Special Counsel to order Inspector General investigations, provides stronger protections for federal whistleblowers, including providing interim relief and jury trials, and consolidates the 22 different corporate whistleblower laws that are enforced by the Department of Labor.

Coniferous vs. cruciferous I made a chop salad the other day. I told my son and husband it was a coniferous salad. It’s super healthy and will make you feel like a million bucks and It was really good.

The next day, my son was telling someone about our salad.

When he asked me again what it was called, I said ‘coniferous.’

“Mom, aren’t those pine trees?” “No, that’s cruciferous.” Obviously, I got them mixed up.

Cruciferous vegetables are known as “super” veggies. They are loaded with vitamins, fiber, and have phytochemicals known to fight diseases such as cancer. Coniferous refers to trees that have pine needles and pinecones. Don’t eat those! Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, and bok choy are cruciferous. They are all low in calories and high in fiber, loaded with vitamins and more. But, they are all best for us eaten raw.

I have known about the benefits of cruciferous vegetables for years and I’ve tried to add Wild Chow them to my diet. I add kale to my morning smoothies almost every day. But that’s about Lisa Erickson where it ends. It gets difficult to add the rest like broccoli and cabbage or Brussels sprouts to my diet every day. Raw is key. Healthy chop salads are easy to make, and you’ll get a dose of super “good for you” veggies. They have become a staple as either my lunch or side salad at dinner.

Just be careful you don’t get the names mixed up when telling people what kind of salad you made. People might think you’re eating pine trees.

Cruciferous Chop Salad Serves 4 4 cups kale, chopped 2 cups, romaine lettuce, chopped 2 cups broccoli chopped 1 cup Brussels sprouts, chopped 1 cup red cabbage, chopped ½ cup dried cranberries ½ cup pepitas ½ cup poppy seed dressing (see recipe below) In a large bowl, combine the kale, romaine, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Pour dressing over the top and toss to coat.

Pour into serving bowl. Top with cranberries and pepitas. Serve immediately.

Poppy Seed Dressing ½ cup mayonnaise ½ cup raspberry vinegar ¼ cup milk 1 ½ tbsp. sugar 1 tbsp. poppy seeds Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar is dissolved.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Local wedding resources to plan your special day

America a Socialist Country? Maybe Could our great Republic become a full socialist country? Many believe it would be easy to go from a Capitalistic Country to Socialism and are campaigning on the idea. Socialism has been tried over and over again in country after country and it has always failed. Some here will say we are already a socialistic country because of all the entitlements we offer to so many.

To name a few, Medicare, Medicaid, housing, day care, heating assistance, food allocations, primary and secondary education are among them. Full Socialism that ruined many Countries and Empires such as Venezuela and the Roman Empire adopted the same idea.

If America had never started these social programs it would be harder to convert to pure Socialism but is gaining strength program by program. Once you move to the edge of a precipice it doesn’t take much to get tipped off the edge. Socialism is based

on the theory “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”. The principle refers to free access to and distribution of goods, capital and services made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed socialistic system will be capable to produce; the idea is that, with the full development of socialism and unfettered productive forces will be enough to satisfy everyone’s needs.

Simply stated, in the beginning this could work because it’s our nature to better ourselves but as more people are benefitting from achievers, the money taken will dry up because less will try to achieve.

I could go on and on about this subject, but I would run out of ink.

This short letter is intended as food for thought.

Siren gets new Trustee and prepares for St. Patrick’s Day

Cultural signiďŹ cance and management of black bears

by Wisconsin Ojibwe tribes

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@ BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Brittany Fry is the new Village Trustee in Siren.

Her first meeting was full of excitement.

She steps in for Todd Schultz who resigned his seat because of employment issues and will serve the rest of term set to expire in April 2021.

During the meeting the board approved two annual approval items for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations March 14.

The board approved closing Main Street and State Road 35/70 on Saturday March 14 from 1:30

The following contribution was provided by Bad River tribal member Emily Nelis, traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) specialist, Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission: For the Anishinaabe (also known as Ojibwe, or Chippewa), makwa (the Ojibwe word for “bear�) is highly revered in traditional culture.

‘Doing more with less’ JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

It’s a common theme at the Burnett County Government Center – do more with less. Whether it is with less people or less money they keep working and looking for other options and opportunities.

Jim Tolbert, Emergency Manager, is the latest to bring the idea to the public safety committee. “We are doing more with less,� Tolbert said. “That’s our goal to do more with less people.�

Tolbert is trying to get more of the public involved in reporting on storms to

coincide with BEACON or Burnett Emergency Alert Communication or Notification System.

Tolbert is not asking people to go out and drive around following a large storm, but is asking for something much easier. “Just look outside,� Tolbert said. “Then report, ‘this is what has happened in my neighborhood.’�

Tolbert is still looking to sign up as many people as possible on BEACON to make the county as connected as possible in case of an emergency. For more information call 715-349-2142 and leave a message or email BEACON@burnettcounty. org

naabeg many gifts, which is explained through sacred stories passed down through generations. Makwa is also a member of the Ojibwe doodem (clan) system, which traditionally supported Anishinaabe governance, and continues to organize kinship ties and clan responsibilities. To the Anishinaabeg, makwa is a caretaker of medicines, and it is him who shows the Anishinaabeg where to find traditional medicines throughout Anishinaabe-aki (Ojibwe land). For this reason, makwa is regarded as a healer

and the Anishinaabeg rely on makwa for various healing purposes. Ojibwe bear clan members are also said to have the same qualities as makwa.

They are traditionally considered healers with medicinal knowledge, as well as community protectors. Due to makwa’s importance in traditional stories and teachings, makwa is treated respectfully by the Anishinaabeg to reciprocate the bear’s respect for the Anishinaabeg.

In northern Wisconsin, makwa (bear) are also harvested by members of various Ojibwe tribes which reserved certain rights (including the right to harvest bear in accordance with tribal regulations) when they ceded their lands to the United States in treaties signed in 1837 and 1842.

All of bear management zone A, and portions of bear management zones B, C, D, and E consist of lands ceded in the treaties of 1837 and 1842.

Each Ojibwe tribe with off-reservation harvesting rights regulates the take of makwa by its members.

As with other harvested species, the number of black bears harvested is discussed and coordinated through intertribal processes and the state Department of Natural Resources to ensure that total harvest is limited to biologically appropriate levels.

To date, harvest of makwa by tribal members has been minimal, remaining under 100 bear per year (annual average ~50).

The State recognizes and respects the Ojibwe tribes’ off-reservation treaty rights and will continue to engage with all Wisconsin Tribes on natural resource issues of interest to them.

Corona Virus Update OVERVIEW • There is an expanding outbreak of COVID-19 caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. − The outbreak began in China but is spreading worldwide and is threatening to cause a pandemic. • Sustained (ongoing) person-to-person spread in the community is occurring in some international locations. • As the virus continues to spread internationally and in the United States, it becomes harder and harder contain its spread. • During the week of February 23, several instances of infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 occurred in people with no travel history and no known source of exposure in multiple states.

PREVENTION There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus.

CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including: • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Stay home when you are sick. • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in

the trash. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing or

sneezing; going to the bathroom; and before eating or preparing food. • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

Third Case of COVID-19 ConďŹ rmed in Wisconsin Person was exposed while traveling The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and Public Health Madison and Dane County announced today that a third person has tested positive for COVID-19. The person was exposed while traveling in the United States and is currently isolated at home.

County health officials are working to determine the people who have been in contact with the patient to isolate or quarantine people and test those who are exhibiting symptoms. “We are working with our local health departments to make sure everyone who has been in contact with our confirmed cases is notified. We continue to urge state residents to take precautions to avoid illness,� said State Health Officer Jeanne Ayers. “As guidance is evolving, it’s important for people to monitor the DHS and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) websites for the latest information and guidance on COVID-19.�

People who have traveled in the past 14 days to places where there is community spread of COVID-19 (international and domestic locations), are asked to self-quarantine themselves and monitor for symptoms for 14 days. If symptoms, like fever, cough, or difficulty breathing are present, they should contact their local health department and health care provider for possible testing.

People should call ahead before arriving at a health care facility for testing. “As this is the second confirmed case of COVID-19 in Dane County, we have the experience in caring for patients in isolation and contacting those who may have been in contact with the patient. We will continue working with DHS and CDC, as well as our local health care providers and other partners, to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the commu-

nity,� said Janel Heinrich, Director of Public Health Madison and Dane County.

Public Health Madison and Dane County and the Department of Health Services responsibilities include: • Identifying and contacting anyone who has been in close contact with a person who has COVID-19. These people are asked to quarantine themselves for 14 days from their exposure and will be monitored for fever and respiratory symptoms. People with symptoms are tested for COVID-19. • Performing follow-up testing for individuals who test positive to determine when a person can be released from isolation. • Providing guidance to clinicians regarding testing. • Preparing Wisconsin for community spread of COVID-19.

If COVID-19 begins to spread in Wisconsin communities, state and local public health officials would consider community interventions such as temporary closures of child care facilities and schools, workplace social distancing, measures such as replacing in-person meetings with teleworking, and modifying, postponing or canceling mass gatherings. Decisions about the implementation of community measures would be made by state and local officials based on CDC guidance, as well as the scope of the outbreak.

People should follow simple steps to avoid getting sick, including: • Frequent and thorough handwashing with soap and water. • Covering coughs and sneezes. • Avoiding touching your face. • Staying home when sick.

“According to guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), spending time in the same indoor environment as persons known to have COVID-19 is considered a low risk of exposure to the virus.

Young writers of Burnett County The youngsters of Burnett County have submitted their responses to the March writing prompts. If you’ve missed this opportunity, don’t worry. If you’re between the ages of 7 and 18 there will be another chance next month.

Here are the new prompts for the month of April: Ages 7-12: Earth Day is in April, describe different ways that kids can help take care of the earth. Do you do any of these things? Take a picture doing something to help the earth and send it in with your article.

Ages 12-18: Earth Day is in April. Do you think that global warming should be a global issue that is taken more seriously? Why, and what are some ways that your town or county could be more environmentally friendly? Send a photo of yourself or of you doing something for Earth Day to be submitted with your article.

Responses cannot exceed 200 words and have to be submitted by end of day April 6. A photo submission is required with the article you submit. A select few will be chosen each month to be placed in the paper. Remember to include your name, age and town you are from in your submission.

Articles can be submitted a few different ways. You can drop them off at the Sentinel Office, mail them to P.O. Box 397, Grantsburg, WI 54840, or send them via email to news@ burnettcountysentinel.com.

AGES 13-18 Write about a problem or an issue that your town or county faces. Do you have a solution or ideas on how that issue can be addressed?

Mira Niles, 13, Webster In my community, we don’t have a

sports center. A sports center would be a good addition and a much-needed attraction to Webster. One of my biggest issues is that our traveling volleyball league only gets one practice once a week and we would be much more competitive if we had gym space to practice.

However, a sports center wouldn’t only benefit volleyball players, but it would benefit people of all ages. The sports center could be open on weekends and anyone could come in and do anything with the space provided. It would be free for the community.

Citizens could come to the sports center on a weekend morning and play whatever game they wanted to. There could be nearly unlimited options such as Pickleball, Tennis, Basketball, Volleyball, and more. Our teams’ basketball players could come into the sports center and practice over the weekend and workout in the gym space that could be built. Doors would be opened for a healthier community and a fun place filled with opportunities. People could start sports clubs and meet up on a certain day and play a sport that they all enjoy. The men that come into our school and play basketball in the morning could just go to the sports center. Possibly, there could even be a public pool built in. A benefit to all in creating a sports center is creating an opportunity for adults to meet and build relationships with others that live in our communities. It would also create a safe and healthy lifestyle for all citizens.

Brooklynn Janssen, 13, Webster I think in my community we would benefit from a place where kids can go and hangout after school. A youth center where kids can go with friends, get help with homework and talk about

groups in the past and I know that the residents enjoy having company and I feel kids liked being there.

things that they are struggling with.

A safe and supervised place would be beneficial to our community and would help those who don’t have a great life at home. This place could have ping pong, foosball, pool, and some other games for kids to play with their friends. At school we have a mentor program so adults come in and have a specific kid that they meet with once a week and they sit and talk with them. The mentors play board games or just talk with the kids. If we had a place for teens to hang out mentors could bring the kid they mentor to this place and have a private room to talk in, a place to play board games, or some other games.

AnnaDora Dorn, 13, Webster In our community people in nursing homes sit all day with little to do and minimal visitors. Nursing homes do have groups of volunteers to visit during holidays, but they don’t get to be with people as often as most people do. The nursing home likely has a few activities for them.

What if we had a place where students could come talk and do interactive activities with the residents? Students could go enjoy some time getting to know their elders and hearing about what their life was like. It would help students know how to communicate with different types of people. I think it would help give the people in nursing homes more activities to do. I know it could be difficult because maybe we could not figure out common interests.

I truly believe it could help influence kids and help give the people in nursing homes a fun experience. I have volunteered at the nursing home through

Jaiden Mansfield, 13, Webster Our community doesn’t have a place designated to just kids. Growing up in a small town like Webster is pretty boring as there is not much to do in terms of entertainment. There are occasional sports games but eventually that all ends or gets old, and not all people like to watch sports and might want something else to do. I live in Webster, and I wish we had a place just for teenagers to go to and hang out. My concern is not having a place to go in the winter with friends.

I think we should turn the old Ingalls Clinic into an arcade. This would provide a safe place for kids to hang out and play video games. Buildings that aren’t in use take up space that could be used for many different purposes.

We have no place to go in the winter to hang out because of the cold and snow

Community invited to Ordination and Installation celebrations The members of Bethany Lutheran, Siren and Pilgrim Lutheran, Frederic are busy preparing for the Ordination and Installation of their new Pastor, Emily K. Stelling. In the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), a Pastor is ordained after they have completed eight years of higher education: a bachelor’s degree and a Master of Divinity at a Lutheran seminary. Then, only after they have received and accepted a call from a parish, can they officially be ordained. This is a once in a lifetime event for every pastor and this community has an opportunity to witness and participate in the festivities.

Pastor Emily's Ordination will take place at the St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church. A bus will be traveling from Siren and Frederic to St. Paul on March 14.

This church was Pastor Emily's

SUBMITTED

teaching parish. That, paired with strong affections from the congregation, is why that church has been chosen as the place to host the ordination.

Bishop Laurie Skow-Anderson of the NW Synod of Wisconsin

will ordain Pastor Emily. Special music has been composed for this occasion.

Then on March 15, a joint Bethany/Pilgrim worship service will take place at Bethany beginning at 10:30 a.m. when Reverend Randy Olson, representing the NW Synod of Wisconsin, will install Pastor Emily. Aleta and Brad Anderson will accompany the organ on their trumpets for both services. Immediately following the Installation worship service, Bethany and Pilgrim will come together for a luncheon to celebrate the arrival of their new Pastor and their continued common mission to serve God through their work in this community and beyond. If you'd like to attend (and for fear of secretarial wrath) please call the Church Office to RSVP at 715-349-5280. All are welcome!

Did you make it to church on time Sunday morning? You did remember to set your clocks ahead? Well, if your day started off imbalanced, I’m sure it had you smiling and whistling the moment you stepped out the door and the sun hit your face. A fabulous day that we haven’t experienced in several months.

It’s been rather quiet in the mornings at the center. Hopefully as the good weather continues, we’ll see more friends dropping in for morning coffee and goodies.

As the snowbirds start to return and the golf season will begin shortly.

I’ve noticed that a lot more seniors are getting new cell phones (you know the smart ones), but don’t totally understand everything yet. So, maybe we need to have a class on this new technology? If you’re interested, contact me and I’ll try and get a class set up.

We offer Wi-Fi, coffee and goodies, and check out the book nook.

Questions on meal reservations,

hall rentals, or other requests, call the center at 715-463-2940 or email us at: gburg118@gmail. com.

WEEKLY WAG

A new playground AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, My daughter Selina Walters is a freshman at UW Stevens Point majoring in fisheries and aquatic sciences and a few other areas in environmental sciences. Selina does not come home very often, I will not see her for spring break, and there is a strong possibility that she will be taking a job this summer that will keep her from coming home.

Every winter since Selina was three, we have gone on a winter camping and ice fishing trip and I did not want that streak to end so this past February, I did some research in the Stevens Point area and discovered the Wisconsin River Flowage which borders northern Stevens Point, covers a couple of thousand acres and has endless possibilities for both winter and summer adventures.

Friday, Feb. 28 High 27, low 13 Lakeside Bar is a very cool bar that is family owned, right on the water and I was able to drive on the ice from the property. Selina met me here and we parked her car at Lakeside and as usual I think she was just as excited to see her two buddies Fire and Ruby as she was me. Before this trip, I had been speaking with a couple of locals on where to set up camp on the ice and how to fish it and fortunately there was enough ice to drive my pickup on it.

Before I go any further I want to say that in the 31 winters that I have written this column, I have never witnessed a winter where it is so tough to catch fish and in a week’s time I speak with a lot of fishermen. This would be my fifth ice fishing trip of the winter and none have been easy when it comes to catching fish.

So Selina and I put out five tip ups for walleye and let me tell you

the scenery here is pure adventure with islands, large bodies of water and channels everywhere and as crazy as it sounds (even 48 hours later), next to no people on the ice.

Next we set up camp which is a really big job but in the end, we have a heated cabin on the ice with a kitchen, gas lights, heat, two cots, and new this year, a carpeted floor.

Just before dark I jigged for anything that might be hungry and with her pups by her side Selina did what would in the end be hours of homework.

Long after dark I cooked steaks and life was good.

Saturday, Feb. 29 High 36, low 21 At first light this morning I was jigging in the shack, I marked a fish, it hit my jig and I caught it.

My trophy was a six-inch walleye and as crazy as it sounds would be the only fish that we caught all weekend.

It’s a good thing my stepson/Selina’s brother, Joey Dushek came to camp today because my truck was a little stuck in a deep crusty snow.

Joe was ready to catch some walleye and along with his goldendoodle “Pike,” enjoy a night on the ice and all of us getting together for a

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

night, was all that really mattered.

We visited a couple of times with our neighbor on the ice “Chubby” who uses all tip downs and has a camper for a shack that has a woodstove in it. Chubby is a cool dude that can fish alone, and he gave us hope that we should be able to catch a walleye.

In every conversation that I had with fisherman this weekend; I was told about slow fish catching this winter but that this flowage is an excellent fishery in the open water season.

Because Selina might be spending the summer working in this area, I dreamt up an idea of camping on the islands, swimming, fishing and hanging out here.

I could even see getting to know the folks that hang out at Lakeside Bar because they seemed so cool and down to earth.

In my dream world I have a duck hunting plan where Selina could do a couple of simple hunts, I hear that there is a solid musky population and trolling for walleye would be very cool.

Most important would just be simple get togethers where we swim, watch the sunset, have campfires and enjoy life.

Thanks for reading! Sunset.

HSBC’s available pets are banking on the luck of the Irish to find new fur-ever homes this month.

This week, there are two new sponsored leprechauns (masquerading as felines) who are only an approved application a away from filling your h home with love and comp panionship. After all, “a b best friend is like a fourlleaf clover: hard to find a and lucky to have.”

Arriving at HSBC ffollowing the death of her o owner, Bebe is looking ffor a soft spot at the end o of the rainbow. She is a an unusually stunning Bebe nine-pound kitty with long gray fur and lovely blue eyes. Bebe gets along well with other cats and children. At 11 years old, this girl deserves a loving home to call her own.

Six-year-old Sophie is all about snuggling. A former stray, she is a brown and tan shorthair tabby with light hazel eyes who weighs in at a petite eight pounds. Sophie can be talked into quite a bit with just a few ear scratches (well, at least convinced to wear holiday gear). And she is good with children, which makes it easy to envision her playing dress-up with a family of her own.

HSBC is looking for gift cards and certificates for its popular Grab and Go event for the Bark and Wine Fundraiser on April 4. The Grab and Go is a Sophie great way to restock your gift-giving coffers. Have a stash of gift cards or certificates you don’t plan on using? Rehome those unloved items and help HSBC support their homeless pets! Also, HSBC is still accepting donations of silent auction items, whether premade themed baskets or pieces to help build a perfect gift! Items can be dropped off during public hours.

Don’t forget to come by HSBC on Saturday, March 14 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to take part in Pet Me, I’m Irish! Come by for a wee bit of fun and frolicking with our residents, staff, and volunteers.

Quimby named to all-state team

Petersen takes podium SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Jeni Petersen made her third and final appearance for the Grantsburg girls co-op gymnastics team in Saturday’s WIAA Division 2 state final.

To end her senior season, Petersen qualified for the state final in three events and with one of those being the all-around, she competed in all four events to complete an all-around score. Her score of 31.186 put her 26th in the final standings and one of her event scores garnered a top-20 finish.

Petersen finished 18th at the uneven bars with an 8.033, more than a point behind Whitefish Bay’s Addie Gallun, who won the event with a 9.383. Petersen also got a top-25 finish in the floor exercise with an 8.467, tying for 23rd.

Mount Horeb’s Drea O’Connell won the event with a 9.567.

At the vault, Petersen’s 8.133 would have been good for a 31stplace finish, though this was one of two events in which she was not an individual qualifier. Gallun topped this event also, finishing with a 9.533.

Petersen’s 7.183 at the balance beam would have put her 36th in the individual standings, which O’Connell won with a 9.333. Petersen also finished as a second-team all-state selection in the floor exercise for Division 2.

“Extremely proud of all (Petersen’s) accomplishments,” Grantsburg coach Kathy Lund said. “She ended her gymnastics career with three trips to state.”

Siren, Grantsburg and Webster boys ousted from postseason SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

PORT WING – The boys basketball season concluded for Siren, Grantsburg and Webster last week with postseason losses.

The Dragons took an opening-round loss at South Shore on March 3. Riley Churchill scored a team-high 18 points for Siren to reach the 1,000-point mark for his career, but South Shore’s Koy Nelson scored 26 points to lead his team to a 59-49 win.

“I am excited for Riley as this was a very fitting accomplishment for him to finish with,”

Siren coach Rick Kosloski said. “Riley is explosive on the offensive side and could be counted-on when we needed a score.”

Churchill scored 11 of his points in the second half while the Dragons were trying to catch South Shore. But, the rest of the roster accounted for just 13 second-half points while Nelson had 13 on his own.

Nathan Kosloski added 11 points for Siren; Jordan Webster had nine. The game also was the final for the team’s coach, who served on an

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Jack Washburn and the Oregon State baseball team hope warmer weather is accompanied by more wins.

The Webster graduate and the Beavers have a three-game series at University of Arizona this weekend, seeking an end to a losing streak that sank their overall record below the .500 mark.

Oregon State built a three-game win streak between winning the final game of a three-game series against Mississippi State and the first two games of a series with San Diego State to end February. Since then, the Beavers have lost five consecutive games – two coming against San Diego State before being swept by UC-Santa Barbara over the weekend.

Washburn pitched less than an inning in a 6-0 loss on Friday, allowing two runs and two walks while striking out one. The Beavers then had a second-consecutive shutout loss on Saturday, 4-0.

On Saturday, the Beavers not only got on the board but held a 2-1 lead after six innings. But, UC-Santa Barbara scored two runs in the top of the seventh and held Oregon State scoreless for the final three at-bats for a 3-2 win.

Oregon State dropped to 5-9 overall and starts its series in Arizona on Friday.

GUSTAFSON SCORES RUN IN WIN Webster’s Hunter Gustafson scored a run for the Saint Mary’s University baseball team in a 5-2 win over Muhlenberg College on Saturday.

Gustafson drew a walk to reach base and score his first run of the season.

Saint Mary’s made it a three-game win streak with a 9-8 win over Rhode Island College on Sunday.

The Cardinals improved to 6-4 overall and head north for the two-day Wheaton Invitational on March 20.

Yelich will be paid deferred money

by Brewers until 2042 RONALD BLUM AP SPORTS

Milwaukee will be paying Christian Yelich until 2042, when the All-Star outfielder is 50 years old.

Yelich’s $215 million, nine-year contract with the team calls for Brewers to defer $4 million each year from his $26 million annual salary from 2022-28. The deal includes a $20 million mutual option for 2029 with a $6.5 million buyout, and $2 million of the buyout would be deferred.

If the buyout is owed, the $30 million in deferred money would be paid in 12 installments of $2.5 million each July 1 from 2031-42.

If the buyout is not owed, Yelich would receive the $28 million in

11 installments of $2,333,333 each July 1 from 2031-41 and a final payment of $2,333,337 on July 1, 2042.

Yelich’s new deal includes salaries of $12.5 million for this year and $14 million in 2021, the same as in the last two guaranteed seasons of the nearly $49.6 million, seven-year contract he signed in March 2015 with Miami. None of that money will be deferred.

Yelich would get $100,000 for winning the MVP award, $75,000 for finishing second in the voting and $50,000 for third. He won the 2018 NL MVP and was second in last year’s balloting.

He would get $50,000 each for AllStar selection, World Series MVP, Silver Slugger, Hank Aaron Award and Comeback Player of the Year.

He would get $25,000 apiece for League Championship Series MVP and Gold Glove.

As part of the agreement announced Friday, Yelich has the right not to be traded without his consent. He also gets four premium tickets for 20 mutually agreed upon regular-season games annually.

A 28-year-old outfielder, Yelich is a two-time All-Star and a one-time Gold Glove winner. He would have been eligible for free agency after the 2021 or 2022 season, depending on a team option in his previous contract.

Yelich’s contract includes the largest guarantee given by the Brewers, topping the $145.5 million for Ryan Braun from 2011-20.

TUCKER, BSU SPLIT TWO SERIES’ Grantsburg’s Olivia Tucker had two hits, including a home run, along with three RBI for the Bemidji State softball team on Monday, but they still ended with a 5-4 loss to Lewis.

Tucker also pitched two innings in the game, striking out one and allowing two hits with three earned runs. The Beavers recovered for a 3-2 win over Ashland in their second game on Monday.

A day earlier, Tucker and the Beavers split decisions with Dominican and Cal.-Pennsylvania.

Tucker had three hits and six RBI in an 8-6 win over Cal.-Pennsylvania; she also had two hits and an RBI against Dominican, but Bemidji State finished with the 5-4 loss.

The Beavers continue play in Florida until Friday, facing Northwood and Lake Erie on Thursday then Lock Haven and Ferris State on Friday. They return to Minnesota to host Jamestown on March 17.

GUSTAFSON GETS FIRST HIT Webster’s Trevor Gustafson got his first hit of the season on Friday for Minnesota-Duluth though the Bulldogs were swept in a doubleheader by Grand Valley State.

GVSU won the first game 7-4 and the second game 5-0, ending the Bulldogs’ two-game win streak during its Florida trip. They did recover to win the first game of a doubleheader against Wayne State on Sunday. Minnesota-Duluth won the opener 5-4 and Gustafson had another hit in the second game, though Wayne State won it 7-1.

The Bulldogs were 3-4 through their first seven games and return to Minnesota for a three-game series at Concordia-St. Paul, starting with a doubleheader on Saturday.

but the skate park is getting boring and is falling apart (quite literally). This facility could be supervised by caring adults and would allow young people to gain positive relationships with adults in our community. Its location being right on main street would be an ideal location for kids as it’s in a convenient location for both the parents and the kids.

Bradon Nutter, 13, Webster Our community doesn’t have a lot of places for teens to hang out or go have fun. Often times, teens turn to drinking, smoking, and other illegal things. I think if a place was built for teens to hang out it might cut down on underage drinking and smoking in our community. This would benefit parents because they know their kids have an alternative to drinking and or smoking, or simply getting into trouble. This would also help adults because they know their kids are safe and busy with healthy activities.

To do this we could use the old Fourwinds in Siren. There could be a roller rink and a small bowling alley. This could be a low-cost program that costs near to nothing to attend. This could be funded by nearby groups and the state as a non-profit organization. This not only profits parents but kids too- it gives them a place to hang out and it connects them with the workers and the parents that might be there. It helps connect the community. There could be different programs that could help associate the community more. There could be a website to help get this idea out there more and we could put up flyers.

maybe kids would stop vaping. I think we should get the people with the knowledge of what vaping can cause to come visit our school and talk with kids about the dangers of vaping and about the health risks. If we could get older siblings, who greatly influence kids to stop, we might be able to stop this growing problem. I think that would stop the problem of younger people vaping. If we got the older influencer to stop acting like vaping is so cool if we can do that who else can we get to stop.

Ella Jacobs, 13, Webster I live in Webster, and my family is a foster family. There are many children in Burnett County who have been placed in foster care. Children are placed into foster care for various reasons such as a child who has been abused, a child who has been neglected, a child whose parent is in jail or prison, or a child whose parents are on drugs.

Almost every kid that my family has taken into my home has parents that were on drugs. Drug use is a huge problem in Burnett County and is one of the main reasons for children ending up in foster care. There are many children in our county going into foster care but some do not have a foster home to go to that is local. The problem that I am confronting is that there are not enough foster homes to take in all of the foster children of Burnett County. When there are not enough homes locally, children have to be moved far away and have to change schools and meet new friends.

A possible way for solving this problem is having Burnett County ask for a grant from the government. With the money we could hire more caseworkers. If we hire more case workers, then more families can be licensed at a time and at a faster speed. I also suggest that maybe our county team up with another county to share the load of licensing more foster families. Solving this problem will benefit the many kids who have no home to go to and are waiting for a family to take them in. These kids can’t control their environment. They have no say in what happens to them or if they become a foster kid. They need love… and it is up to us members of the community to give them the love and homes that they desperately need.

Bradon Nutter

Charles Evans, 13, Webster Growing up in the small town of Webster, we don’t always have access to the latest technology. However, when vaping became popular those supplies were available in almost all the stores in and around Webster. Many kids thought it was the next big thing. The problem with kids vaping is if a kid wants something, they will do whatever they can to get what they want. They can have an older sibling buy them or a parent. This is not going to stop until the kid finds out why everybody is saying that vaping is not good for them.

What they don’t get is how bad vaping is for you. They see older people doing it and they want to be just like them.

The leprechaun was nowhere to be seen. I spent a long time thinking about my next wish then I thought about the perfect wish. I’ll give you a hint. I love to read.

Okay, I’ll tell you. I wish that when I wanted to read a certain book all I have to say is the title of the book and when I’m done with the book it disappears.

Twunk! I said a book name and it was in my hand. I have one more wish.

What will it be? I know!

I wish to have an Iphone 11. Bling!

SECTION 6. Numbering of new provisions. If another constitutional amendment ratified by the people creates the number of any provision created in this joint resolution, the chief of the legislative reference bureau shall determine the sequencing and the numbering of the provisions whose numbers conflict.

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the foregoing proposed amendment to the constitution is agreed to by the 2019 legislature; and, be it further Resolved, That the foregoing proposed amendment to the constitution be submitted to a vote of the people at the election to be held on the first Tuesday in April 2020; and, be it further Resolved, That the question concerning ratification of the foregoing proposed amendment to the constitution be stated on the ballot as follows: QUESTION 1: “Additional rights of crime victims. Shall section 9m of article I of the constitution, which gives certain rights to crime victims, be amended to give crime victims additional rights, to require that the rights of crime victims be protected with equal force to the protections afforded the accused while leaving the federal constitutional rights of the accused intact, and to allow crime victims to enforce their rights in court?”

EXPLANATION The Wisconsin Constitution, article I, section 9m, currently provides that the state shall treat crime victims “with fairness, dignity and respect for their privacy.” That provision also mandates that the state ensure that crime victims have certain “privileges and protections” relative to the accused and the criminal case. Separate from these constitutional provisions, chapter 950 of the Wisconsin Statutes provides a “bill of rights” for victims and witnesses of crimes.

The proposed amendment would make five general changes to article I, section 9m, of the Wisconsin Constitution.

First, in 16 subsections, the proposed amendment would expand the rights of victims by creating additional rights and incorporating other statutory rights into the constitution.

Second, the proposed amendment would incorporate into the constitution a definition of “victim” similar to the definition currently in statute.

Third, the proposed amendment would create an additional mechanism by which victims could enforce their rights as victims.

Fourth, the proposed amendment would incorporate into the constitution a limit on governmental liability for any violation of victims’ rights, similar to the limit currently provided by statute.

Fifth, the proposed amendment would provide that it may not be interpreted to supersede a defendant’s federal constitutional rights or afford party status in a proceeding to any victim.

A “yes” vote on this question would amend the Wisconsin Constitution as summarized above.

A “no” vote on this question would decline to amend the Wisconsin Constitution as summarized above. A “no” vote would not alter existing protections for crime victims.

Celebrate Social Work Mini Master Gardener Month, March 2020 short course offered Regional Hospice thanks Social Workers SUBMITTED BY COLLEEN MORGAN, COMMUNITY OUTREACH COORDINATOR REGIONAL HOSPICE SERVICES AND PALLIATIVE CARE

Regional Hospice celebrates National Professional Social Work Month in March, honoring our social workers who work tenaciously to support our patients and families. Their invaluable contributions to the care we provide in hospice is a testament to the national theme celebrating their profession this month – “Generations Strong.”

How can we help you live well? With professionalism and compassion, hospice social workers uphold the inherent dignity of our patients and families, honoring their answers to this important question that guides their care. Understanding that the end-of-life journey may hold many uncertainties, social workers help smooth the way. Advocating for patients as they share their final needs, desires and fears, hospice social workers remember and remind others that patients are the best experts on themselves. They may address conflict between the patient and family, or between the family members themselves. Sorting out issues that pose challenges for our patients and families, social workers forge solutions that bring clarity, peace and comfort. It is a privilege and an honor to be part of their care.

Regional Hospice is thankful for the dedication of our social workers as they celebrate their profession in March, and every other day throughout the year.

Spooner––UW-Madison Extension’s North Country Master Gardener Association and Bashaw Valley Farm and Greenhouse will be hosting their popular Mini Master Gardener Short Course for youth and their families on Saturday March 28, 2020. Registration is at 8:30 with program at 9 a.m. at Bashaw Valley Farm and Greenhouse on Hwy 63 south of Spooner.

Master Gardener Volunteers will provide handson demonstrations and learning activities that are sure to be a hit with young “budding” gardeners and their adult guests.

Participants will explore the secrets of soil, seed starting and germination, roots, shoots, buds and sprouts… oh my!, planting seeds in paper pots, and terrific tomato transplants. All youth participants will construct their own mini greenhouse, paper pots with transplants and a seed tape to take home.

A light lunch and refreshments by Grandma Thompson is also included.

All youth age five and up are welcome to attend.

Cost to participate is $5 per youth, or $10 for two or more youth family members. Adults 18 and older are free; however, they must be accompanied by a paid youth.

This event is sponsored by UW-Madison Extension’s North Country Master Gardener Volunteer Association, Bashaw Valley Farm and Greenhouse, and the UW-Extension Area Agriculture Agents office. For more information and to pre-register contact Kevin Schoessow, Area Agriculture Development Agent for Burnett, Washburn and Sawyer Counties, or Lorraine Toman at 1-800-528-1914 or 1-715-635-3506.

Promises made, promises kept

Pastor Brad Moore Grace Baptist

We have all heard the phrase “Talk is cheap.” The fact is, it is pretty easy to make grandiose statements and give promises.

Even when we are well-intentioned about following through with them, we often come up short. I am reminded daily about this when I hear of all the political promises and statements that are increasingly flooding the media. Parties on all sides ‘spin’ information and make questionable statements and promises that play fast and loose with facts and dance around the truth. Much is said that would be difficult, if not impossi-

We can believe Jesus because He has demonstrated that He is trustworthy. We are just a few short weeks away from Easter, where Jesus displays His incredible love for us by dying on the cross for our sins and then proving His ability to fulfill His promises by rising from the dead and having victory over sin and death.

Give your life over to Jesus, experience the truth of His promises, and let’s joyfully celebrate Easter together.

Every single promise of God given to us will be perfectly and fully fulfilled in Jesus Christ. These are not small promises, they are astounding ones: the promise of eternal life for all would repent of their sins and follow Him, the promise of being set free from the bondage of sin, the promise that He will never leave us, the promise of His peace, the promise He
