The North Memorial Ambulance and its EMT crew at Grantsburg are on call 24/7 and answer most calls in 10 minutes or less.

Whether that level of service can continue and how the county will pay for it are questions that must be answered before the end of June.

State requires ambulance service, but how is county to pay?

BURNETT COUNTY—When the current county ambulance contract ends later this year, the bids for the next contract could come in at close to $1 million annually, or a total of $5 to $7 million over the contract’s 2018-2022 life span.

That’s the estimate that Chris Sybers is expecting when the Burnett County Towns Association opens ambulance service bids at its April 20 meeting. Sybers has served as Towns Association Chairman for the past 12 years and has negotiated two previous ambulance contracts.

By his own admission, he has spent “more hours on ambulance con-

tracts than I care to count.”

Sybers says the current year ambulance contract (2017) is $683,754.

GRANTSBURG—A Grantsburg couple faces charges filed this week in Burnett County Circuit Court of physical abuse of a child – intentionally causing great bodily harm as a party to a crime – following the death of their 10-week-old male infant.

The court date for the couple, Jesse Paul Marek, 35, and Samantha Nalissa Stoeklen, 21, is set for 2 p.m.

Wednesday, April 26 in Burnett County Circuit Court. They face separate, identical felony charges emanating from the death of their child on Feb. 1, 2016.

BURNETT COUNTY—Some surprises occurred in Tuesday’s Burnett County spring elections. Attorney Mel Mogen defeated David Grindell by a nearly 2:1 margin for Burnett County Circuit Court Judge.

In Town of Meenon, Tom O’Brien edged 12-year incumbent Chris Sybers for town Mel Mogen chairman by a 10-vote margin.

In the Grantsburg village, Larry Ebersold won election twice, as both Village President and Trustee.

In Town of Roosevelt, new supervisor candidates Tyler Odden and Lee Huber won in a tie at 19 votes each, while incumbent Supervisor Frank Graf got 15 votes and lost.

Most races for school board and town board postions were uncontested, but some held surprise outcomes.

SIREN—The Siren Village Board has a goal to add a pedestrian walking path or sidewalk from the State Road 35/70 stoplight south to Clear Lake Park, along the east side of State Road 35. They hope to have it done in two to four years.

Village President Dave Alden said, “If you live where I do, by the Pine Wood Motel, it’s amazing how many people travel that road on bike or on foot.

“People of all ages are going from their homes or the trailer court to the school, the downtown business district and other destinations. The sidewalk would improve traffic, bike and pedestrian safety.”

Following the recommendation of its streets and utilities committee, the board hired former Siren Village Administrator Marty Shutt as a temporary employee to work on the trail design, approval and funding process.

Shutt will work with an engineering firm to get the ball rolling and get the needed okays from DOT and other agencies. He will be paid $40 per hour for a limited but unspecified number of hours.

Burnett County man dies in Polk County crash POLK COUNTY—On April 1 just after 8:30 a.m., the two occupants of a 1998 White Oldsmobile sustained fatal injuries from a crash.

The investigation shows that the vehicle was traveling East bound on 357th Avenue. The vehicle left the roadway to the right as it approached the bridge over a small creek, just west of 15th St. There were no marks indicating evasive maneuvers.

After entering the South ditch for a short distance, the vehicle travelled over the bridge, and began to flip, as the right side tires fell. The vehicle then launched into the air and later struck the opposite side bridge struc-

ture. The vehicle then fell into the creek on its roof.

Officials believe Kevin W. Sommerfeld, 29, from Lorain Township was operating the vehicle at the time of the crash. The apparent passenger was identified as Robert A. Carlson, 56, from Burnett County.

Assisting the Polk County Sheriff’s Office were the Lorain and Frederic Fire Departments and First Responders, the Northland Ambulance Service, along with the Polk County Medical Examiner’s Office.

This matter is being investigated by the Polk County Sheriff’s Department.

CHARGES: autopsy revealed trauma CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

the infant limp, unresponsive and barely breathing. Marek informed authorities that he performed three or four chest compressions and mouth-tomouth CPR. He then rushed the infant to the Burnett County Medical Center, which transferred the infant to St. Paul Children’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The report reveals that the infant may have suffered three to five instances of trauma within the first three weeks of life. The report states, “None of the rib

fractures appear old enough to be in any way associated with his birth.”

According to the criminal complaint, Marek told authorities that, on or about Jan. 15, 2016, the infant rolled off the couch.

Despite being informed that 10-weekold babies do not roll, he insisted the infant rolled off the couch. He then admitted to “having a temper.”

Stoeklen stated that the injuries could have been an accident but did not elaborate.

Each faces a possible a maximum fine of $100,000 and/or 40 years in prison.

‘Dire straits’

Siren led county in 2016 ambulance calls BURNETT COUNTY—A review of 2016 ambulance call totals show a wide range around Burnett County in the number of calls and the Average Response Times. The Average Response Time (ART) measures time from when the ambulance crew receives the 9-1-1 call until its arrival at the requested location.

Siren had the county’s highest number of ambulance runs in 2016 with 217 and an ART) of 9:49 or nine minutes, 49 seconds.

Webster had 2016’s second highest number with 184 calls. Having an ambulance based in Webster reduced its ART to 6:55.

Siren’s average response time from call to arrival was only about four minutes longer than Webster’s, although the two communities are roughly six miles apart.

The Village of Grantsburg had 117 ambulance calls in 2016 with an ART

of 6:40. North Memorial Ambulance Service also has an ambulance housed in Grantsburg.

Countywide, the 2016 ART was 10:24 minutes, with some responses shorter than five minutes and some longer than 15 minutes, depending on remoteness of location.

The current contract with North Memorial requires a 10-12 minute average response time.

Countywide in 2016, most ambulance calls were to assist senior citizens. The ambulance’s busiest time of day was between 8-9 a.m. and the most quiet time was from 3-4 a.m. The busiest day of the week was Friday.

Most ambulance calls were a nonspecific “aid to a sick person.” Other common requests for ambulance were for assistance after a fall or back injury, breathing problems, traffic accident or chest pain. Steve Briggs, Sentinel

new contract could jump by $200$300,000 per year, or an increase of between 29 to 44 percent. The $58 ambulance yearly cost for every Burnett County resident today could rise to about $100 per person next year, Sybers fears.

That’s not the end of increases, either.

As in the current contract, the new fiveyear contract will allow the ambulance service to renegotiate every other year.

By year 2022, the annual expense may be well over $1 million annually.

Doesn’t cover ambulance runs The county contract doesn’t cover ambulance runs. It provides the funds for North Memorial to operate, maintain and house the high-tech ambulances that serve Burnett County’s four villages and 17 of its 21 towns, plus pay some of the cost of training Emergency Medical Technicians and keep them on call 24/7.

It doesn’t pay for the cost of an ambulance run. The fees charged to a patient for ambulance transportation and care en route to a medical facility are separate and may cost the patient or insurance carrier between $5-10,000, depending on services provided and distance traveled.

Nor does the ambulance contract cover the cost of housing a medivac helicopter at Burnett County Airport, as North Memorial has done for the past couple of years. That is a separate contract.

“The North Memorial people sat down with me and showed me what a typical ambulance run costs them and what they make on it, and they’re losing money,” Sybers said. “That’s why they’re asking for such a large increase. As a county, we are dire straits over ambulance costs. I don’t know how else to say it. The state demands we provide ambulance service but gives us no financial help or suggestions on how to pay for it.

“You could even say the state impedes us, because we are forbidden from raising property taxes to help pay for it,” he added.

Leadership uncertain

Tuesday’s election dealt Chris Sybers a 10-vote defeat. Now the question becomes who will lead the ambulance contract negotiations forward? It is open to debate. When his successor takes over as Meenon Town Chair next month, Sybers will also step down from the Towns Association chairmanship. Whether the Towns Association wants Sybers to keep leading, and whether he can be convinced to manage the negotiations, remains to be seen.

The current four-year contract expires in December, but work is underway on the new contract now because negotiations must be completed before the end of June. The contract requires a six-month notice to North Memorial if the county intends to change ambulance service providers.

Sybers invited six ambulance service companies to submit bids to provide service to Burnett County for the next five years. Only two companies – Lakes Region Ambulance Service of North Branch and North Memorial of Brooklyn Center, Minn., attended the Request for Proposal (RFP) meeting last month and showed interest in submitting a bid.

It is uncertain whether one or both will offer a bid on April 20.

If the county receives ambulance bids, it will need to move fast. The board of each of the county’s 20 municipalities will need to vote on it before the end of June.

North Memorial is the most likely bidder. It has established itself as the county’s ambulance provider for the past decade and has recently built new ambulance garages in Grantsburg and Webster.

BAILEY MANGEN

The Siren civics class discusses ideas for the ambulance contract. See story next week.

Budgets are set

“Right now, every municipality’s budget is set,” Sybers said. “I don’t see how this is all going to be able to work if we see a $300,000 increase. I have been doing this for 12 years, but even with that experience it is not clear to me.”

For that reason, Sybers has embraced a novel approach to find “fresh eyes” for finding more funds.

And, to that end, he turned to the next generation of taxpayers – today’s high school students.

Let’s do a bit of thinking...

A song is anything that can walk by itself ~ Bob Dylan An English professor in college told our class clichés can be a wonderful use of language, a common language.

I was stunned that an English instructor would say this— a person who makes a living exploring new ways of communicating ideas and studying the creativity of writers. However, I let her words sink in. (Oops, did you catch the cliché?)

She was making her students aware that humans have created a common language that allows us to verbally communicate with one another despite the possibility of differing backgrounds.

Okay, agreed. My young mind was once again wrenched open and Sentinel stuffed with another perspective.

Now, while I believe my professor’s Editor theory, I think we – at times – overSean Devlin use the overused words and phrases. A relevant topic... pop music.

It makes sense though, right? Popular music uses a common language that many people understand and celebrate. But, more recently it has felt as though some artists have mistaken imitation (or even replication) for creativity and art.

“Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young,” bellows Ke$ha (yes, that dollar sign is supposed to be there) or, “I’m walking on air” (9x), Katy Perry tells us of her love, which is “pure paradise.” It sounds a bit lackluster, at times.

With the dependence on auto-tune and every other machine that “contributes” to the sound of the songs, I often feel that much pop music is the least thought-provoking artistic outlet; I hesitate to even call it art anymore.

Why do we settled for songs that sometimes contain 30 words in a four-minute segment? You don’t even need to listen to some more than once to remember all the words – a few songs are so cliché that you can predict the words about to sputter from the mouths of singers because we know the rhythm of the phrases like we know the texture of sand... or, the back of our hand?

There are wonderful songs to listen to, new and old. Songs that are narratives, migrations to a new idea. I just wish the radio would play those. My current favorite is 21 Pilots. I understand some people may find their lyrics unfavorable... but to each his own, as they say. A verse that I am particularly fond of is, ‘Tie a noose around your mind/Loose enough to breathe fine and tie it/To a tree. Tell it, “You belong to me./This ain’t a noose, this is a leash./And I have news for you: you must obey me.”

While some of these lines may be considered cliché, they at least tie together a thought, invoke an image that’s new. Something a listener can explore and meditate on. What do you think? What music is everyone enjoying? Am I wrong? Let’s chat.

You can reach me at editor@burnettcountysentinel.com, telephone 715-463-2341. Also, take a look at our Facebook page. Talk to you soon.

Should have waited 200 years

BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

As we are watching the ice retreat from our lakes and rivers, it is nice to think of warmer days ahead and having fun on the water.

There is a place on our planet where ice is retreating from positions that have been held for a long time — the Arctic. Two hundred years ago, there was a race to find a shortcut to China from Europe. The search for the Northwest Passage was an obsession for several nations seeking to find a trade advantage.

From the Last week, I listened to an interPublisher’s view with Paul Watson, a Pultizer Desk Prize winning Canadian journalist who has written a book about one of Tom Stangl the most famous lost expeditions in N h P Northwest Passage history.

Watson’s book “Ice Ghosts: The Epic Hunt for the Lost Franklin Expedition,” tells the story of the nearly two-hundred-year search for two British naval ships and their crew of 129 sailors, all lost to the Arctic.

Captain Sir John Franklin’s search for the Northwest Passage left England in 1845. The HMS Erebus and HMS Terror intended to sail through the last unnavigated section of the passage.

The ships were equipped with steam engines and a propeller to keep the vessels moving even if there was no wind. Other advanced technology included bows reinforced with heavy beams and plates of iron, an internal steam heating device for the comfort of the crew, screw propellers and iron rudders that could be withdrawn into iron wells to protect them from damage, ships’ libraries of more than 1,000 books, and three years’ worth of conventionally preserved or tinned preserved food supplies.

The crews knew going in that they would be icebound for at least one winter.

They were there much longer.

Three years later, the first of many search and rescue operations were mounted to try to find survivors.

The search for the ships and survivors has been going for years. In 2014, the sunken HMS Erebus was found, two years later the sunken HMS Terror was found.

Several skeletons were found buried on two islands.

Evidence suggested that a combination of cold, starvation and disease including scurvy, pneumonia and tuberculosis, all made worse by lead poisoning, killed everyone in the Franklin party.

But it appears that changes in ice cover during the past few years have made the Northwest Passage a reality. According to Watson, who was present when the HMS Terror was located, a few ships a year can now successfully navigate the passage.

In sailing circles, it has become the sailing equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest. If you have the skills and the equipment, you might be able to make it through in the summer alive. If you have enough money, there are people that will guide you through.

There are even cruise ships that sail in parts of the passage. Some predict the Arctic Ocean’s Northern Sea Route could be ice free and navigable for as long as 19 weeks a year as early as 2030. Watson predicts a new Cold War on the horizon as Russia, the USA and Canada seek to establish superiority in the Arctic and exploit the natural resources of the region.

That all remains to be seen, but I wonder what the “ice ghosts” of the 1850s would think of all of these changes.

As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

Statement of support for Right to Carry bill Dear Editor: The Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association (WBHA) offers our full support for the efforts in the Legislature to pass a true Right to Carry bill.

We thank Rep. Felzkowski and Sen. Craig for putting this proposal forward.

Currently it is perfectly legal in Wisconsin to carry a firearm openly without getting any government permit.

This new law will simply allow a citizen to cover that firearm with their coat or place a firearm in their purse for protection.

We deserve to enjoy our constitutional second Amendment right without going through an elaborate system of fees and regulations.

WBHA strongly encourages the passage of the Right to Carry bill.

Let’s KEEP America Great To the Editor: In 2015, Pope Francis called on Americans to treat refugees with compassion saying, “We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation.

“To respond in a way which is always humane, just and fraternal. We need to avoid a common temptation nowadays: to discard whatever proves troublesome. Let us remember the Golden Rule: ‘Do unto others as you would have them

do unto you.’”

Refugees are everyday people who are forced to flee their countries due to unimaginable violence, war and persecution. They are often former teachers, farmers, nurses and business owners who have left behind everything to save their families.

The UN Refugee Agency reports that 51 percent of refugees are under the age of 18.

Department of Homeland Security officers describe the refugee screening process as extremely thorough, rigorous and often taking years to complete.

Refugees wait in overcrowded camps enduring extreme and unsafe conditions. Some are threatened or killed by the very people they are trying to escape from. The average time refugees live in a camp is 17 years.

A father described how his eight-yearold son lost his legs in an explosion that killed his mother, sister and other children. The father returned home from work and dug his family members out of the rubble.

Another refugee, who had been offered a scholarship in Canada with a path to citizenship, turned it down because he wanted to come to America. He had gone through years of extreme vetting and had been approved to enter the U.S. Unfortunately, when refugee resettlements are stopped, security clearances and applications can expire. Then refugees have to start the process all over again. Donald Trump’s travel ban is not simply a matter of “inconvenience,” as his administration has stated. It is a matter of life and death for refugees.

The humane leadership that Pope

Francis spoke of is lacking in our current administration. Donald Trump fails to realize that extreme vetting for refugees was already in place in the U.S. The terrorists of 9/11, the killers in the Orlando nightclub, San Bernardino and the Boston Marathon were not refugees.

Fear mongering works to divide our country – let’s KEEP America great by accepting those who are most vulnerable.

Garage sale season: do’s and don’ts To the Editor: Planning a garage sale? Please read.

DO! 1) Have readable signs that indicate how far away!

2) Greet and welcome! Be pleasant.

Some of us drove a long way. Nice people sell more stuff!

3) If all you have is baby/children items, please state it on sign.

4) Give people on highways ample notice ahead of the turn to your sale. This helps avoid auto accidents.

5) Wrap breakables. Have bags/boxes and be ready to make change.

6) Have fun!

DO NOT! 1) Ignore or stare at customers like they are trespassing. We may have driven many miles!

2) Allow your dog to bark relentlessly or to jump on/run at customers! Should be a no-brainer!

3) State “huge sale” and you have only baby clothes.

4) A no-no... Don’t look up prices on eBay and expect folks to pay those prices. Rarely do things sell on eBay for the asking price!

Thanks!

4th grader seeks Wisconsin information and brochures

To the editor: Hello! I am a fourth-grade student in North Carolina. In our class, we each write a state report and I have chosen Wisconsin. I am very excited to learn more about your great state.

Most of the information for our reports will be from books and websites.

We also like to get information from people who live in the state. This is why I am writing to you.

I hope you will be willing to send me some items about Wisconsin to help me learn more about the best things in your state. It could be postcards, some maps, pictures, souvenirs, general information or other items that you think would be useful to me.

Please mail items to my school address below. Thank you. I really appreciate your help!

Danny Walker Mrs. Hughey’s Class Charlotte Latin School 9502 Providence Rd Charlotte, NC 28277

Still a newbie The end of March marked my one-year residence in Burnett County.

I took many trips here prior, looking at properties, in December, January and February – not an ideal time to do so.

On one early trip, I stood beneath towering white pines, twirled like a dancer with outstretched arms and felt pure joy.

Crossing the St. Croix into Wisconsin still gives me pleasure.

Wisconsin has, in fact, welcomed me back.

With snow-covered ground last year at this time, I dug out a spot with my boot to see what lay beneath it in the railroad-tie rectangle that filled half Newbie in of the north side of my yard. I had yet the North- to decide on making an offer on this home. Though I’m certain it was once woods a large vegetable garden, kicking the Lori Callahan snow aside revealed only grass.

Sitting on the stone wall that lines a portion of the property on the southwest, I tried to envision living here; not only in this particular home, but in this village. I remember the quiet; I remember the fresh air; I remember the stillness of the wood be-

hind me. Yes, I could live here.

Earlier, I lost out on a bid for a place closer to Danbury that sat on five acres with a stream running through it. I was quite dejected about it. It felt as if I were dying a slow death continuing to live in the city.

The concrete jungle is not the forest that calls to me.

Everything happens for a reason and, instead, I found my “retirement” home on the north side of Grantsburg.

Though I say I could easily live in a shack in the woods – and that sounds idyllic – the reality is that I need and want the friendship and support living within a community offers.

Question two: Could I survive here?

In all my years, even in difficult economic times and high unemployment periods, I have managed to support myself – and two children in earlier times – thriving at times and scraping by at others.

I thought about my mother, formerly a stay-at-home mom with 11 children. She went out and acquired work to support us once our father left the scene. Her economic support was under $200 a month; and physical and emotional rearing assistance was nonexistent.

My mother was not educated beyond high school, having begun our family at 18 years of age and popped out little Catholic kids nearly every year for the next

decade and a half. If she could accomplish that – rearing all those children with singular resources, most of whom went on to college and then professional careers – it was almost silly to think I couldn’t house, clothe and feed one. Much of my life required that I held more than one job, and though I was darn tired, I could do it again if necessary.

I’ve accomplished much in the last year: gained employment soon after arriving; replaced many windows in my nearly 100-year-old house; hired a local electrician for needed work; pulled old and overgrown shrubs with the help of neighbors, some replaced; planted numerous trees; and painted nearly 100 pictures.

This year, I plan to set up my gallery to showcase my artwork. My “personal forest development” will continue, replacing trees that did not survive and adding more white pines and a few reds.

I hope, too, to begin tilling and filling the large garden spot with raspberries and blueberries. It’ll be a work in progress to see what else evolves in that location.

Lastly, and possibly most importantly, explorations of this northern wilderness and all its inhabitants, one or two dogs at my side, will resume.

I have no regrets.

ELECTION: Election brings some surprises including Ebersold’s double win CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Mogen 1,805 votes Grindell 1,050 Melissia (Mel) Mogen won the Burnett County Circuit Judge race by defeating David Grindell at 23 of 24 polling places. A Burnett County native of the Coomer area, Mogen worked hard for the win. After first practicing law in Michigan, Mogen has worked in Burnett County seven of her 14 years as an attorney. She made herself widely known through dozens of personal appearances and talks, plus door-to-door campaigning and effective social media.

Grindell was perhaps the better-known candidate, serving as the county’s attorney (corporate counsel) since 1992. Mogen will assume the judgeship vacated last November by Kenneth Kutz, who Mogen says inspired her to become an attorney through his talk to h class when she was a Siren her S School sixth grader.

Tom O’Brien 101 votes Chris Sybers 91

Tom O’Brien

In the Town of Meenon, Tom O O’Brien upset 12-year incumb bent Chris Sybers by 10 votes for c chairperson.

The race has a county-wide iimpact, as Sybers is also out as

chairperson of the Burnett County Towns Association after a dozen years. The chief negotiator for two previous county ambulance contracts, Sybers has been serving as chief negotiator for the upcoming five-year ambulance service contract. It is unclear who will assume his position as Towns Association Chairperson and ambulance contract negotiator.

Ebersold wins two elections Larry Ebersold got 170 votes to w win the Grantsburg Village Presiident race over Vincent Zilka (87 v votes). Ebersold also received 1166 votes to defeat former Village P President Glenn Rolloff (128) for o one of three trustee positions.

N Newcomer Gary (Goob) Coy got 1189 votes and incumbent Diane Larry Ebersold Barton (156) to win the other two trustee positions.

Ebersold ran both for village president and trustee when Rolloff decided to not seek re-election as president. At the Grantsburg Candidates Forum on March 21, Ebersold said if he won both races he would serve as village president. How the trustee position will be filled is unclear at this writing.

Receiving a robust refund is the best part of tax season.

How do you make sure you’re getting your money on time without a lengthy delay?

• Wrong address. Forget to update your address after your last move? This may delay the receipt of your refund. Fortunately, updating your address is easy and can be done on some states’ government websites.

In Town of Sand Lake, incumb bent Chairman Ed Weber beat Tony Evers L Lowell Rivard 59-49. Rivard also ran for town supervisor, as the law allows.

Rivard and Jerry Tjader were re-elected as supervisors with 53 and 81 votes respectively. Challenger Amy Bruss was defeated with 49 votes.

In the Town of Scott, Supervisor Susan Braun was elected Chairperson with 162 votes, as Gary Lundberg stepped down as chair.

Challengers John Vanous (109) and Jeffry McIntyre (137) won supervisor seats, defeating incumbent Kathy Young (93).

Changes to Refund Schedule If you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) on your tax return, the IRS must hold your refund until Feb. 15, according to the IRS. This is an updated specification with your security in mind. The change is designed to ensure that you receive the refund you are owed by giving the IRS more time to help detect and prevent any potential fraud related to your return.

Early Childhood Screening Grantsburg Elementary School is currently putting together a screening for three and four year old children in the Grantsburg School District. The screening will take place on April 12th at Nelson School. The students who will be screened are those who will turn four between March 1st and August 31st, 2017. The screening is designed to be the first step of formal communication between the school and your child. The screening will last about an hour and culminate with a brief exit interview conducted by our principal, Elizabeth Olson, and our school psychologist, Caitlin Bloyer.

At that time you will be able to ask any questions you might have about the school or your child’s development.

We understand you are very busy, but we hope you can attend the screening with your child. If your child was born between March 1st and August 31st, 2013, please call the Elementary School at 715-4632320 to schedule a time for your child’s screening.

Thank you.

Ann Lane named outstanding employee

SUBMITTED

SIREN—Burnett County’s Ann Lane was honored with the 2017 Outstanding Conservation Employee award – Administrative Assistant category – at the 64th annual Wisconsin Land & Water Conference held on March 15-17 at Ost-

hoff Resort in Elkhart Lake.

The award recognizes an (LWCD) employee who has made significant contributions to land and water conservation in their county and beyond.

Important factors in presenting this award to Ann were her leadership, effectiveness and commitment to conservation as evidenced by her performance of normal duties with exceptional quality; outstanding contributions to better public understanding of natural resource conservation and department goals; providing outstanding personal assistance to other staff; exceptional service to LWCD and strengthening LWCD conservation partnerships and assistance.

Approximately 350 people representing all 72 counties and additional partnering agencies attended this year’s event.

Congressman Sean Duffy’s statement on the fight to repeal Obamacare WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Sean Duffy (R-WI) released the following statement on the fight to repeal and replace Obamacare.

“Obamacare is in a death spiral and continues to hurt millions of Americans.

Simply perpetuating the status quo is wrong. That’s why I’m thankful for Speaker Paul Ryan’s vision and leadership in the fight on behalf of the American people against this awful law.

“The longer Obamacare remains intact, the more damage it causes; which is why I’m going to continue to fight my heart out to get rid of it. I hope that the entire Republican Party can soon unite to dismantle the disaster that is Obamacare and replace it with a plan that lowers costs for families before it’s too late.”

James Smith notes 40 years of pull-tab effort GRANTSBURG — One of James Smith’s most prized possessions is a video of families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Minneapolis. It motivates him.

In the video, the families are having fun, but there is an underlying serious side to their stay. The Ronald McDonald House Charity (RMH) provides housing for families who have a child undergoing treatment for a life-threatening medical condition at nearby Minneapolis Children’s Hospital. Oftentimes, it’s cancer.

James plays the video while he works on collecting, cleaning and counting aluminum pull-tabs which come from pop, soup and food cans. Over the years, James has developed a network of church members, co-workers and friends who collect the pull-tabs and deliver them to him in bags, boxes and tubs. Many are Burnett County folks, but others bring him pull-tabs from as far away as Texas.

The pull-tabs he collects help pay for housing and meals for the families staying at RMH. Last year, James’ lifetime tally reached more than one million pull-tabs donated to RMH Foundation. It’s been his labor of love during 40 years of collecting – more than half his life. “It’s gives me something to do, and it is a good cause,” he said.

James, 65, is a pleasant, kind-hearted man who lives at the Shady Knoll Home in Grantsburg and works at DSI in Siren. He processes the tabs at the desk and chair in his upstairs room, usually spending an hour or more per day on the task while he plays a movie in the background. He is a big fan of the “Rocky” movies.

Why collect just the pull-tab and not the entire aluminum pop can? According to the RMH web site, the pull-tab from a standard soda can is made of high quality, high-grade aluminum. Tabs are cleaner and smaller, making it easier to collect them in large quantities.

Some people save pull-tabs in plastic milk jugs because each jug holds about one pound of tabs and has a built-in handle.

Play it Safe SUBMITTED BY: RESTORATIVE JUSTICE OF NW WI, INC.

When James gets a sizable collection of tabs counted and boxed, he and his mother, Esther Windbiel of Hertel, pack the boxes into her car and deliver them to the McDonald’s restaurant in Pine City. From there, the tabs are loaded onto McDonald’s trucks returning to the Twin Cities. Eventually, the tabs make their way to a special dumpster at the Minneapolis RMH. Each tab by itself doesn’t mean much, but with many people pulling together, they add up to a valuable donation. In fact, a spokesperson at RMH said they fill a special dumpster with pull-tabs several times per year for a company that recycles aluminum. The pull-tab donations raise a few thousand dollars annually.

James is proud and happy to be part of a group that houses and feeds families in need. He credits Shady Knoll Owner/Director Greg Peer and other Shady Knoll staff and residents for helping him.

James welcomes you to be part of the process. Bring pull-tabs to him at Shady Knoll Home on east Broadway Avenue in Grantsburg. He plans to continue collecting tabs for a long time to come. Steve Briggs, Sentinel

I went to meet Patricia and spent about an hour and a half with her. I took her a crocheted afghan that was donated to us and put it over her shoulders.

We talked about her children, family history and many other things. We laughed about her memories and I held her hand when she told me of her son who lives nearby but had not visited her in a long time. Our time together was special and I told her I would be back soon.

Before I left, she asked me to pray with her. We said the Lord’s Prayer together and she ended by saying, “Dear Father, please wrap me in Your loving arms.” I kissed her on the cheek and left.

The next day, the nurse who had told me about Patricia called and gave me the news that my new friend had passed away in her sleep the same night I saw her.

She asked if I would like the afghan back. I told her to

pass it on to someone who would enjoy it.

I am sharing this story because I want to impress upon people how meaningful visits and giving is. It never takes a lot of time to make a difference in someone’s life. I am not sure I made a difference in her life, but she surely did in mine.

Drinking responsibly and in moderation can be done with a few easy tips: • Always know what you are drinking and how much. It takes time for the body to absorb and process the alcohol you drink.

• Drink slowly and pace yourself. Take breaks with non-alcoholic drinks such as water.

• Don’t mix alcohol with energy drinks. The energy drinks will often hide the effects of alcohol, leading to over drinking.

• Never drink and drive or get into a car with someone that has been drinking.

• Learn the signs of alcohol poisoning.

Alcohol can be a dangerous drug. Learning how to use it responsibly is up to you.

These tips can reduce the risk you put yourself and others in while drinking and ensure that your experience with alcohol will be a positive one.

Assault: More than 690,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking.

Sexual Abuse: More than 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape.

Injury: 599,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 receive unintentional injuries while under the influence of alcohol.

Grantsburg High School earns ‘Pacesetter’ award GRANTSBURG—Grantsburg High School was recently named a “Pacesetter School” by the Wisconsin Advanced Placement Advisory Council. The school received a Level 3 award with 10 percent of its high school students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) classes in preparation for college, and more than 60 percent of those students receiving a passing score of 3 or higher.

When students in AP classes earn a score of a 3, 4 or 5, they can also earn college credit.

High School Principal Josh Watt said, “This is the second time in the past three years GHS has received this award and one of five schools in our CESA 11 region.

“Congratulations to the AP students and AP teachers Heidi Jensen, Jay Gilhoi, Mark Johnson and Brad Nelson on their accomplishments.

“This award is made possible by students having access to high-quality online courses through iForward, our online high school. We will continue to give GHS students access to educational options to prepare them for post-high school education.”

Watt added the school plans to expand its Advanced Placement offerings.

The Pacesetter Award celebrates success of individual schools and is not a competition or comparison of schools. For this reason, no data comparing schools is released.

Drug cases causing area officers heavy workload SIREN—Drug cases are adding a tremendous workload to local law enforcement, says Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers.

He told the Siren Village Board his department’s case load jumped from 17 in January to 54 in February.

“It has been extremely busy,” Sybers said. “We have had a bunch of burglaries. That leads to search warrants. In the process of recovering stolen property, the search warrants turn into drug warrants.

“As I have always said, property crimes and burglaries go hand in hand with drugs. That isn’t slowing down. Right now we are working on a big case that could result in 10 or more search warrants.”

Village President Dave Alden added, “We try to budget work hours for our village employees, including law enforcement hours, but right now we can’t budget them. When we have 57 cases going, what can we do? Two guys can’t keep up with it. We may have to do something to adjust their hours, hopefully, for a short period. We hope when the madness is over, the officers can return to a normal pace.”

All three Siren officers worked 124 to 135 hours in February. “It’s all three of us doing all we can to get everything done,” Sybers added. “As soon as things slow down, I will adjust the hours when I can, but for now, it’s all hands on deck.”

Co-op supports ‘National Safe Digging Month’ this April CENTURIA – Are you planting this spring? Installing a new fence or landscaping? Before you dig into any home improvement project, have utility lines marked. One call to Diggers Hotline, 811, can protect you from expense and injury. That’s good advice during National Safe Digging Month this April and throughout the year, said Rick Kosloski, rights-ofway manager for Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative.

There are millions of miles of underground utility lines in the U.S., including gas, water, sewer, cable TV, high-speed internet, telephone and electric services. Unintentionally striking an underground utility line can result in outages for an entire neighborhood, injury to yourself and others, and expensive repair costs. Every digging project warrants a call to 811 and Diggers Hotline, urged Kosloski.

811 is the national phone number designed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help protect homeowners and professional excavators from unintentionally hitting underground utility lines while working on digging projects, large and small. When you call 811, you’re directed to Diggers Hotline, Wisconsin’s utility locate service.

WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL 811 ?

Whether you are planning to do it yourself or hire a professional, smart digging means calling Diggers Hotline before each job, no matter how large or small. Common projects may include excavating a new garden area, installing a mailbox, planting a shrub or tree, or building a new patio, deck or shed.

Wisconsin Statute 182.0175 requires all excavators, including homeowners and construction contractors, to contact Diggers Hotline at

least three working days before starting the work.

WHO SHOULD CALL 811?

“It’s important to know that if a contractor is doing work on your property, he or she cannot work under your name, and a homeowner cannot work under a contractor’s name,” explained Kosloski. “The property owner and the contractor each must have a valid Diggers Hotline ticket before digging.”

WHY CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG?

Every digging project requires a call to 811. Hitting an underground utility line when digging can cause serious injuries, disrupt utility services and incur expensive fines and repair costs. Beyond these serious consequences, calling before you dig is the law.

(Wisconsin Statute 182.0175 requires all excavators, including homeowners and construction contractors, to contact Diggers Hotline at least three working days before starting the work.)

HOW DOES 811 AND DIGGERS HOTLINE WORK?

Contact Diggers Hotline by calling 811, 800-242-8511 (800-542-2289, TTY) or DiggersHotline.com.

Call or request online service any time of the day or night; the call center is open 24/7, but keep in mind that Monday and Tuesday mornings are the busiest calling times.

Diggers Hotline requires at least three working days prior to the start of the excavation. As defined by state law, a working day is any day other than Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays.

Keep the ticket number you receive from Diggers Hotline; it is your legal proof that you have called Diggers Hotline and complied with the law.

You have 10 calendar days to begin your work. The markings remain valid if you continue to work on your project without interruptions.

Kosloski also reminds you that Diggers Hotline does not mark private facilities.

Thankful for fresh asparagus When I was young, my parents really liked asparagus and served it often.

At that time it was canned. I thought asparagus, slimy and greenish-grey, was the worst of all the vegetables. I remember many times sitting at the table long after dinner was over, staring at my plate wishing aliens would come crashing the front door Wild Chow through so I wouldn’t have to Lisa Erickson eat my now very cold asparagus.

In my early 20s someone introduced me to fresh asparagus soup. It took a lot of convincing, but I tried it and was hooked. Now, every spring, I can’t wait for fresh asparagus to appear in grocery stores.

Asparagus soup is perfect for early spring days when the weather is still chilly. It’s easier to make than some other soups and it pairs well with a salad or sandwich. I’m very thankful it’s now grown in many parts of the world and can be bought fresh earlier than our spring.

Asparagus Soup Adapted from Allrecipes Serves 4 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally with the tips set aside 1 small onion, chopped

2 cups chicken broth 3 Tbsp. butter 3 Tbsp. flour ½ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. pepper 1 cup evaporated milk ½ cup sour cream 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice In a large saucepan, combine asparagus, onion, and 1 cup of chicken broth.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a slow simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Carefully pour hot mixture into a blender and puree until smooth.

In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook until bubbling and lightly golden brown, whisking constantly. Whisk in the remaining broth and bring to a boil (the mixture will be thick). Add the asparagus puree and evaporated milk, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

In a small pan, add asparagus tips and 2 tablespoons water. Cook over high heat for two minutes until asparagus is bright green. Remove from heat and drain off water. Set aside.

In another bowl, add the sour cream.

Pour about a ½ cup of soup into the sour cream to temper (then sour cream won’t curdle when added to the soup). Add the sour cream mixture to the soup. Return to low heat. Heat soup being very careful not to boil. Stir in lemon juice and ladle into four bowls.

Top each soup bowl with asparagus tips and serve immediately.

‘Safe at Home’ program to start MADISON—Today, Attorney General Brad Schimel announced the launch of Safe at Home, a statewide address confidentiality program which began April 1.

Safe at Home provides victims of domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, stalking and trafficking with a legal substitute address and free mail forwarding service. Enrollment in Safe at Home allows those who fear for their physical safety to maintain a confidential home, work, or school address.

“Those living in fear that their abuser might someday find them deserve to feel safe and secure in their own home, school, and workplace,” said Attorney General Brad Schimel. “The Department of Justice is honored to be able to provide this important public service and subsequent peace of mind to the most vulnerable of crime victims.”

“I appreciate the dedication and collaborative efforts of victim advocates in bringing this important program to the people of Wisconsin,” stated Safe at Home Director Erin Welsh. “With the assistance of statewide coalitions, we are ensuring that victims in every corner of the state have access to Safe at Home as a safety planning tool.”

“For survivors of domestic abuse, stalking and human trafficking, safety is always a top concern,” said Senator Jennifer Shilling. “Things that most

families take for granted – like paying a utility bill, enrolling a child in after school activities or applying for a job – create potentially dangerous situations for many survivors. The Safe at Home program will protect individuals from violence and help survivors move forward with their lives.”

“Every person deserves the chance to start a new life and to move forward with the life they have, especially when they have undergone the toughest of horrors,” said Representative Kleefisch.

“Protecting the most vulnerable among us has always been a priority of mine, and it is great to see this program beginning in Wisconsin.”

Individuals intending to enroll in Safe at Home must first participate in safety planning with a trained victim service provider or community-based advocate designated by Safe at Home. Mandatory safety planning ensures that the protections offered by Safe at Home are implemented in a way that is meaningful and comprehensive for each participant.

To date, nearly sixty advocates across the state are designated to provide safety planning services free of charge to Safe at Home applicants.

To learn more, visit the Safe at Home website at www.SafeAtHomeWI.gov. To enroll in Safe at Home, call 1-800-4466564.

GHS Drama Dept. presents ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’

STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

The classic comedy ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ will be presented this weekend at Grantsburg High School Auditorium. Pictured, Rev. Harper (Wyatt Swanson) visits the Brewster sisters (Abby Alderman, standing, and Kathryn Curtin).

GRANTSBURG— The Grantsburg High School Theater Department will present the classic comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace” at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 7 and Saturday, April 8; and at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 9.

One of the most entertaining and oft-performed comedies of the 20th century, “Arsenic and Old Lace” has brought howls of laughter from audiences for more than 50 years.

We might all have a few skeletons in our family closet, but it seems poor Mortimer Brewster (Sven Johnson) has more than that in his basement. On the day of his engagement, Mortimer, a theatre critic, discovers that insanity doesn’t just run through his family – it “practically gallops.”

It’s not just his brother, Teddy (Teddy Vitale), who imagines he’s Teddy Roosevelt and charges San Juan Hill every time he goes upstairs. Nor is it Jonathan (Everett Wincek), the long-lost brother who has recently escaped from the Prison for the Criminally Insane and travels everywhere with his own plastic surgeon (Blake Jensen).

Now it seems even Mortimer’s dear old aunties, Martha (Abby Alderman) and Abby (Kathryn Curtin), have taken up the disconcerting habit of serving lonely old gentlemen elderberry wine mixed with arsenic, then burying them in the cellar where Teddy is conveniently digging the Panama Canal.

Resolving this insanity gets complicated, but results in a highly entertaining theater event.

This is the second time GHS Theatre has produced this play. The first was 11 years ago. The cast and crew are enjoying the hard work it takes to mount this complicated and engaging show. You won’t want to miss it. Tickets will be available at the door.

Tigers lose at Mauston tourney, see positives

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

MAUSTON—The Webster Tigers baseball team went to Mauston to participate in a preseason warm up tournament this past weekend and dropped all three games.

“We started off our season tthis past weekend down at W Woodside Sports Complex in M Mauston. The games didn’t go very well for us, but our g boys did do some things well, b sshowing flashes of what we’re capable of and overall played c pretty good defense,” Tigers p Coach Jarrod Washburn said.

Jack Washburn “There are many things we still need to improve on with the biggest being throwing strikes. Offensively, we struggled a bit, but that’s very common early in the season. The three teams we played are all very good teams with River Valley being ranked #3 in the state currently in Division 2 and Ithaca being the defending state champions, so even though we came out on the short end of the win column, we gained some valuable game experience that will only make us better.

“Although this weekend didn’t turn out the way we hoped, I still have a ton of confidence in this team and am Brad Sigfrids very excited about our chances this season.”

Against New Lisborn, the score was NL 7, Webster 4. Jack Washburn was two for two, a single and a double, and he scored two runs. Hunter Gustafson was three for three with two triples and a single, scoring one run.

Brad Sigfrids was the starting pitcher for the Tigers and gave up all seven runs, walking six and striking out four. Caleb Pardun finished in relief.

The River Valley game went five innings. Brad Sigfrids scored the only run as the Tigers went hitless in the game. Trevor Gustafson and Caleb Pardun were on the mound for Webster. They gave up five hits, walked seven and struck out six.

Against Ithaca, Webster held a 2-0 lead going into the fifth inning when Ithaca scored three to go up 3-2. The Tigers scored single runs in the fifth and sixth, but Ithaca put a total of six additional runs in the sixth and seventh innings for the win.

Trent Wols went two for three (two singles) and scored twice. Matt Buffington was two for two, also two singles. Jack Washburn went 4 1/3 innings with Hunter Gustafson and Matt Buffington pitching in relief. All together, they gave up four hits, walked 15 and struck out 13.

After playing at Cameron on Tuesday, the Tigers host Cumberland on Thursday, host Luck/ Frederic next Monday, and travel to Ladysmith next Tuesday.

SUPERIOR—The Webster Tigers boys and girls track teams traveled to Superior last Friday and took part in the Simpson Memorial High School meet on the grounds of UW-Superior.

“This was the first meet of the 2017 season for the Webster Tigers,” said Coach Roy Ward. “Lots of good performances and excitement building into the season.

The weather was beautiful and the atmosphere was loud inside the UW-Superior field house. It was fun to see the kids hanging out and having fun with their teammates.

“Ladies first. They beat the boys, placing fifth overall. Everyone who competed got a personal record for the season. Ali (Moritz) led the freshman scoring in the hurdles (fourth, :10.78), 400 (fifth, 1:11.75) and 4x400 (fourth 4:47.58). Sophomore Sam (Nelson) was also part of the 4x400 (fourth, 4:47.58), took sec-

HAYWARD—The Hayward Hurricanes got just enough breeze to get by the Grantsburg Pirates Monday night by a 3-2 margin.

Clark gave up the three runs in

the bottom of the third when the lead-off batter walked, the next one singled, moved up on an error and a stolen base. The next batter was hit by a pitch. A ground out moved them up and then a single got them across.

The Pirates scored their two runs in the top of the sixth. Bryce Roufs singled. Two batters later, Austin Casey got on via an error. A single

Wisconsin ‘Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week’ coming soon MADISON—Schools, businesses, families and individuals have two opportunities to test their emergency plans during statewide tornado drills on April 20, 2017. The drills are part of the annual spring severe weather campaign to encourage everyone in Wisconsin to be ready for possible tornadoes and severe weather.

Governor Walker has declared April 17-21, 2017 as Wisconsin’s Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week. Wisconsin Emergency Management, the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association (WBA) have once again teamed up to sponsor the statewide tornado drills scheduled for Thursday, April 20.

On April 20, a mock tornado watch will be issued at 1 p.m. followed by a statewide mock tornado warning at 1:45 p.m. Many radio and TV stations across the state will issue the test tornado warnings. In addition, mock alerts will be issued on NOAA Weather Radios and many communities will sound their tornado sirens to test their emergency severe weather plans. Later, a mock tornado warning will be issued at 6:45 p.m. to give families and second shift workers a chance to practice their emergency plans.

According to the NWS, Wisconsin averages 23 tornadoes annually. Last year, there were 16 tornado touchdowns in the state. All of the tornadoes were either an EF0 or EF1. However, it’s not a question of if we will have a violent storm, it’s a matter of when.

The tornado drill will take place even if the sky is cloudy, dark or rainy. If actual severe storms are expected in the state on Thursday, April 20, the tornado drills will be postponed until Friday, April 21 with the same times. If severe storms are possible Friday, the drills will be cancelled.

Any changes will be issued to local media as well as posted on the ReadyWisconsin website at http://readywisconsin.wi.gov. Updates will also be posted on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ReadyWisconsin), Twitter (www.twitter.com/ ReadyWisconsin), and Instagram (www.instagram.com/ReadyWisconsin).

plant a seed to take home and plant a seed for Ruby’s Garden.

This event will be held rain or shine at Ruby’s Second Hand Store, 24534 State Road 35/70, in Siren. This is a free event but donations are appreciated and will help support the creation of “Ruby’s Garden.” Please register by April 30 by calling Ruby’s Second Hand Store at 715-349-7253.

Kim J. La Lor (nee Griffin) passed away March 27, 2017 with family by her side at Region’s Hospital in St. Paul following a lengthy period of illnesses.

A casual gathering (her favorite) to celebrate her llife, will be held at the Sen nior Center in Webster on F Friday, April 7 from 2-4 p.m.

Kim was born on March 1, 11956 to Georgia (Brethorst) a and Lee Griffin in Minnea apolis, MN. She graduated ffrom Frederic High School, iin 1974, and later went on to rreceive a degree in teaching ffrom the University of Wisc consin – Superior.

She served in the U.S. Army as a medical assistant with an assignment in Germany. She came back to her roots and most recently lived in Webster, Siren and Polk County. Kim loved the Green Bay Packers, fishing and picking berries with her best friend – her mother, who she sorely missed. We hope they’ve now found an endless blueberry patch, and rousing card and dice games with her aunts.

Kim is survived by her sister Sheila (Berklund); brothers, Lee Griffin and Chad La Lor; and many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her infant son Crex (Bistram), and her mother Georgia La Lor.

Lois Lorell Andrewson, 81, formerly of rural Webster, died March 31, 2017, at Burnett Medical Center Continuing Care Center in Grantsburg.

A celebration of life service was held Tuesday, April 44, at First Baptist Church o of Falun with Pastor Mike K Kleven officiating.

Lois was born to William a and Hazel Volker on Feb. 223, 1936, in Minneapolis. Altthough she grew up as a city g girl, she was able to spend m many happy summers at her g grandparents’ farm in Iowa.

Upon graduation from h high school, she took a secrretarial job at the Ghostley Poultry Farm in Anoka. She and her friends would head north to Rush City many evenings after work to go roller-skating at Moulton’s Rollerdrome. There she met the love of her life, Daniel Andrewson, a farm boy from St. Croix Falls.

Lois and Dan were married June 23, 1956 in Anoka, and began their life together on a small farm near Alpha. Five children were born to this union.

Lois was a wonderful wife and mother. Their home was marked by lots of laughter and unconditional love.

When she had that twinkle in her eye, you knew she was up to something. Dan was often known to smile, shake his head and say, “That’s my wife.”

Their home had a revolving door where everyone was welcome. Their children would often bring friends home for a weekend visit and those friends all called Lois “Mom.” Lois and Dan never knew who they would find sleeping on the couch in their living room on a Saturday morning.

Lois was an excellent cook. There was never a shortage of food and always room at their table for anyone who would show up at mealtime. Her chocolate chip cookies were especially coveted by her “adopted sons,” and they would often return to the Twin Cities with an ice-cream pail full of them. Rumor has it that those cookies were sometimes gambled for in a game of poker among the boys.

Lois was a creative woman of many talents who especially had a heart for children. She had a home-based daycare when her children were young. All the children loved going to Lois’ house. When Dan would get up early to milk the cows, he would sometimes find a couple of the neighbor kids waiting on the outside steps for the Andrewson kids to come out and play.

Lois learned to be a ventriloquist and also had a puppet ministry for children’s church. She made sock dolls and clothes, wrote poetry and always came up with fun things to do with her grandchildren.

Above all, she loved God and was a faithful prayer warrior who lifted up her family and many others in daily prayer. Whenever someone knew they were spared from something which could have gone terribly wrong, they attributed the positive outcome to her prayers.

Lois is survived by her children, Linda Hoefs of Siren, Sandra (Rick) Watkins of Lakewood, OH, Bob (Kelly) Andrewson, John (Tracy) Andrewson and Paul (Ardeth) Andrewson, all of Webster; grandchildren, Jeff (Hikaru) Hoefs, Mike (Alison) Hoefs, Aaron (fiancée Marley Hanson) Hoefs, Joshua Watkins, Sarah Watkins, Timothy Watkins, Nathanial Watkins, Stephen Watkins, Lydia Watkins, Hannah Watkins, Wade Sweo, Daniel Sweo, Darian Larson, Jonathan Wright and Christopher Wright; great-grandchildren, Daniel Hoefs and Victoria Wright; many other family members and friends.

Lois was preceded in death by her husband, Dan; brothers Lowell, Larry and Loren Volker, sisters, Lonetta Anderson and Darlene Volker; and grandchildren Samuel Watkins and Matthew Larson.

During his lifetime, he was an active member of the community. He was a member of the Danbury Fire Department, helped the local ambulance service with their fundraisers, pig and beef roasts, and shot off his homemade cannon to start the 75th Anniversary Celebration of Danbury.

He and his wife owned and operated Yellow River Honey House, where people would travel long distances to buy his honey, bee pollen and Royal Jelly.

Willie raised rabbits, sheep, geese and sometimes an orphaned fawn or two that came in and out of the house to eat ice cream with him and sometimes sleep with him on his bed.

In his younger days, he enjoyed canoeing, cutting wood and traveling. He liked going to gun shows and collected some that struck his fancy. He was an avid hunter and his love of guns prompted him to start reloading shells for himself, friends, neighbors and sighting in their guns for hunting. Willie enjoyed many days flying in his brother’s airplane with his brother Phillip. They spent many hours together flying into their father’s farm where they had set up their own landing strip. During this time, he worked as a mechanic at the Burnett County Highway Department until his retirement in 2000.

Willie is survived by his wife of 50 years, Linda Jorgensen, Danbury; a daughter, Tammy (Mike) Jones, St. Croix Falls; a son, Brian (Nikki) Jorgensen, Danbury; grandchildren, Melissa Jones, Andrew Jorgensen (Brittany Casey), Amber Jorgensen (Matt Holter) and Zayden Jorgensen; great-grandchildren, Zander Casey and Camden Jorgensen; sisters-in-law, Patty Jorgensen and Vicki (Gerald) Koenen; nieces and nephews, Suzie, Jeanne, John and Ginger Koenen and Jennifer Kern (Todd); great nieces and nephew, Ciara, Merissa and Dustin; one very special uncle, Fred Jorgensen; numerous other relatives and friends; and his faithful companions: Roscoe, Moose and Floyd.

Preceding Willie in death are his parents; brother, Phillip Jorgensen; and great nephew, Joshua Kern.

On November 12, 1973 John enlisted in the United States Army. He was honorably discharged on November 4, 1975.

John was proud to be employed 40 years at Durex, now known as Weir Minerals, as a machine operator.

On February 1982, John married Sandra Russell in Grantsburg.

John was a longtime member of the Grantsburg American Legion. He enjoyed spending free time outdoors. He could often be found mowing his lawn to perfection, driving a tractor on the farm or working on his ’82 Chevy Camaro. He also liked taking trips to the casino and sneaking “sweets” to his grandchildren when they came to visit.

How to match your current savings to your ultimate retirement needs

In a nation that debates nearly everything, this topic creates almost no disagreement.

Americans aren’t saving anywhere near enough for retirement, setting the stage for a potentially dreary time ahead for many when they reach the closing act of their lives. In fact, a study by the Economic Policy Institute found that almost half of American families have no retirement-account savings at all.

While the widespread-savings shortfall is a given, a consensus is trickier to find when it comes to advice on just how much of your weekly salary you need to stash away if you want your retirement to be secure.

“Opinions vary; you’ll hear some people say 10 percent, you’ll hear others says 15 percent,” says Rick Rivera, a partner at Safeguard Investment Advisory Group (w w w. s a fe g u a r d i nve stment.com). “Some people say you need to have saved $1 million by the time you retire, which is a tall order for a lot of people.”

Clearly, something is better than nothing, but following some general rule of thumb for saving could lead you astray, Rivera says.

Everyone has different circumstances, goals, and obRick Rivera jectives.

Safeguard Investment “What your neighbor Advisory Group needs and what you need may not be the same thing at all,” he says. “You need to take a look at your own financial situation and at what a good retirement would look like to you.

‘What your neighbor needs and what you need may not be the same thing at all. You need to take a look at your own financial situation and at what a good retirement would look like to you.’

RIVERA SUGGESTS A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER ON THE WAY TO ZEROING IN ON THE RIGHT SAVINGS AMOUNT:

• Figure out what it is you plan to do in retirement. Do you want to travel or spend a lot of time golfing? Is there a hobby you enjoy? Maybe you want to spend time as a volunteer. “Once you have an idea what it is you want to do,” Rivera says, “you’ll want to consider the expenses related to those activities.”

That means creating a budget and determining the amount of monthly income you’ll need to do the things you want to do.

• Review your potential income sources. Will you receive Social Security? Is there a monthly pension check in your future? Although it’s becoming much less common, some people have great pensions, so they don’t need to save as much. Most people, though, don’t fall into that category, so they need to focus more on saving to cover the shortfall.

• Do the math. If, for example, your pension and Social Security add up to $4,000 a month, but you’ve determined you’ll need $6,000, then you know you’ll need to make up that $2,000 shortfall from your savings. Based on your age and an estimated rate of return, a calculation can be made to figure out how much you’ll need to save to accomplish your goal. A young person, obviously, could save a smaller percentage of their income than someone who’s just 10 or 15 years away from retirement.

“Depending on just how close you are to retirement, you may even have some catching up to do,” Rivera says. “This is why I say that following a general rule in a vacuum isn’t the best idea. It may or may not get you where you need to be.”

The Good News of Palm Sunday

Pastor Dale Van Deusen Trade River Evangelical Free Church

The world is in an awful state. We know something is wrong. We keep looking for someone to right it.

In the U.S.A., candidates promise to fix what ails us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something easier said than done. In such a world, Palm Sunday is great news!

Every year the Sunday before Good Friday and Easter, the Christian church celebrates Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.

The Israelites were looking for someone to come and fix their world. They were hoping Jesus would, so the crowd voted for Jesus as

King. But, Jesus didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kick out the occupying Roman army and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make Israel Great Again,â&#x20AC;? as they wanted.

Instead, He allowed the conspiring Jewish religious leaders and Roman political leaders to crucify Him. For Jesus didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to fix their world; Jesus came to fix them.

We are sinners who need a Savior. We need to be saved both from the guilt of our sins and from the power of our sinful nature. Jesus came to be our Savior, to fix messed-up people.

Christ died for our sins. By faith in Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death for our sins, we receive forgiveness of

sin and begin a new life as a child of God. We can begin to grow to be more like our Heavenly Father. And, the good news gets better. While no human leader is good, wise or powerful enough to save the world, Jesus is!

Jesus rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will come again to this fallen world. The Prince of Peace will answer our prayers that His kingdom come and Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. No wonder the Bible closes with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.â&#x20AC;?

Winner, winner...shrimp dinner Siren—The lucky winner of the 2017 Buick Encore which was presented by Fourwinds complex is John Biegler (Danbury).

Biegler entered the contest with the encouragement of the cashier. He was preparing for his pre-St. Paddy’s Day parade celebration by shopping at Fourwinds.

“The shrimp were on sale,” he explained as is reasoning for being at the market.

To the frustration of many, Biegler entered his name only once. It seems he had the luck of the holiday on his side.
