Devils Lake proposed campground finds backlash

ELLIE COLBERT WI CENTER FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM

JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

A proposed campground on Devils Lake is on the agenda at next month’s Land Use committee meeting. It is setting up to have a similar public backlash to the Big Wood Lake Campground earlier this year.

Daniel Chelmo submitted his conditional use permit in May to turn three parcels in the towns of Oakland and Meenon into 120-unit campground to be developed over the next five years. The site address will be 7162 S. Devils Lake Drive.

An online petition in opposition of the proposed campground was started in May and now has over 1,000 signatures. The petition purpose states, “Fighting to preserve the natural beauty, overall prosperity, local wildlife and serenity of Devils Lake, WI, from a proposed 120+ Site RV Park and campground on the old Chelmo Farm.”

The petition also points out that campsites would have access to Devils Lake and the Yellow River.

When Abbie Testaberg married her husband, Jody, in 2010, she told him to quit his job. He had been working for a medical marijuana co-operative in California when the couple met in Wisconsin.

“I wanted him to forget

what he was good at and passionate about and get a real job and we could move on with our lives,” Testaberg said.

For awhile, the Testabergs and Abbie’s mother ran a cafe in River Falls, Wisconsin. The couple had two sons, both born with congenital disorders.

Wisconsin man who kidnapped Jayme Closs gets life in prison AMY FORLITI AND TODD RICHMOND

BARRON—A Wisconsin man was sentenced Friday to life in prison for kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs and killing her parents after the girl told the judge she that wanted him “locked up forever” for trying to steal her.

Jake Patterson, 21, pleaded guilty in March to two counts of intentional homicide and one count of kidnapping. He

admitted he broke into Jayme’s home in October, gunned down her parents, James and Denise Closs, made off with her and held her under a bed in his remote cabin for 88 days before she made a daring escape.

Jayme didn’t appear at Patterson’s sentencing hearing Friday, but a family attorney read her first public statements about her ordeal to Judge James Babler.

“He thought that he could own me, but he was wrong. I

was smarter,” the statement said. “I was brave, and he was not. ... He thought he could make me like him, but he was wrong. ... For 88 days he tried to steal me, and he Patterson didn’t care who he hurt or who he killed to do that. He should be locked up forever.”

The judge called Patterson the “embodiment of evil” before sentencing him to consecutive life sentences without the possibility of release on the homicide charges. He also ordered Patterson to serve 25 years in prison and 15 years of extended supervision on the kidnapping count.

“There’s no doubt in my mind you’re one of the most dangerous men to ever walk on this planet,” Babler said.

Patterson sat shaking his

head during most of the hearing. Offered a chance to speak, he said he would do anything to take back what he did.

“I would die,” he said. “I would do absolutely anything ... to bring them back. I don’t care about me. I’m just so sorry. That’s all.”

The judge read statements that Patterson wrote in jail in which he said he had succumbed to fantasies about SEE PATTERSON, PAGE 2

keeping a young girl and torturing and controlling her. He started looking for an opportunity to kidnap someone, even deciding he might want to take multiple girls and kill multiple families, according to the statements. Jayme was the first girl he saw after these thoughts entered his mind, he said.

Patterson’s attorneys, Richard Jones and Charles Glynn, told the judge that Patterson was isolated and that he overreacted to loneliness. They asked for leniency for Patterson, noting that he had pleaded guilty to spare Jayme and her family from a trial.

According to a criminal complaint, Patterson was driving to work in October when he spotted Jayme getting on a school bus near her rural home outside Barron, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) northeast of Minneapolis.

He decided then that “she was the girl he was going to take.”

District Attorney Brian Wright told the judge that Patterson traveled to the Closs home on two separate occasions to kidnap her but turned back because of activity at her house.

He finally drove to the house during the early morning hours of Oct. 15 dressed in black and carrying his father’s shotgun.

He shot James Closs through a window in the front door, blasted the lock and moved inside.

He found the bathroom door locked. He broke the door down and discovered Jayme and her mother clinging to each other in the bathtub. He tied Jayme up with tape, then shot Denise Closs in the head as she sat next to her daughter.

He dragged Jayme through her father’s blood and out to his car.

He threw her in the trunk and drove her to his cabin in Gordon in Douglas County, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) northeast of Barron.

He kept her trapped under a bed using totes filled with weights and hit her with a curtain rod, Wright said.

“He kept her in constant fear, threatening her, telling her things would get worse,” Wright said.

Jayme finally escaped on Jan. 10 while Patterson was away. She flagged down a neighbor, who found someone to call police. Patterson was arrested minutes later as he returned to the cabin.

Patterson was also ordered to register as a sex offender, which under Wisconsin law, may be required both for an actual sex offense or an attempted sexual offense. Details of Jayme’s time in captivity have not been released, and no charges were brought by prosecutors in the county where she was held.

DEVILS LAKE: 120-unit campground raises concern CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“Our main concerns (to name a few) would be further soil and shoreline erosion/ damage, pollution and water quality, septic waste/runoff from a campground of such scale, extreme overcrowding - as Devils already has Bumps Campground and is not the proper size to support another campground, and would severely decrease our property values on the lake,” the petition says. “Having their own private launch into Devils Lake would also raise the risk of zebra mussels exposure and other aquatic species that we have fought so hard to protect against.”

Zebra mussels are an invasive species that were first found in Big McKenzie Lake in 2016. Since then, County Conservationist Dave Ferris has been helping lakes associations set up decontamination sites at a number of county lakes.

The cookie savior

A

s a fat person, I make distinct choices when it comes to cookies. I try not to grab something too gluttonous. I enjoy a simple cookie, no frosting or sprinkles (unless they’re Christmas cookies). My cookie of choice – the classic chocolate chip.

The other day I was biting into what I thought was a regular chocolate chip cookie, small enough to fit a pair in the palm of my had. My first bite knocked me back for a split second and then I realized it was not simply a chocolate chip cookie, it was something awful and unexpected by my taste buds.

It was a raisin.

At that moment I had a thought, and I will admit it was not all that well thought out, but I decided to tell my boss about it anyway.

I told him, “I would go back in time to find the first person who used raisins in a cookie and kill them.”

Sentinel Obviously, murder is wrong and I would be tried and probably senEditor tenced to life in prison or the death Jonathan Richie penalty. I figure it would be sometime in the mid-1800’s. However, over time people would learn my story and come to the realization that I did society a humongous public service. Future generations may even see me as some type of hero.

“These cookies are so good, thanks to Jonathan – the cookie savior.”

School children and chocolate chip cookie lovers would rejoice for generations.

For too long some of us have been to an event with free cookies and by happenstance, a person grabs one they believe to be chocolate chip. They hold the cookie in their hand and that first bite, the one you have been waiting for since spotting the cookie tray, is full of delicious buttery batter and followed by a nasty raisin that gets stuck in their teeth. So now they’re using their tongue to release the dried-out grape.

Now, you may be thinking – “raisins are healthy, and they are nature’s candy.” Well then let’s leave them in those small cardboard boxes and force people to enjoy them outside of the cookie world.

We all know the raisin is most prominently featured in the oatmeal raisin cookie and my research shows the Amish were most likely the first to put raisins in treats.

So I would have to go back in time and take out one of these Amish bakers for the sake of humanity.

Then I did more research and found the first recipe for the raisin in a cookie is from 1896 when Fanny Merritt Farmer wrote and published Boston Cooking-School Cook Book. Farmer would be the easy target, but if I go after her then one of her drafts of the oatmeal cookie would survive and then either a fan or relative of the martyr would publish it and ruin everything.

Best to nip it in the bud and not let Farmer get the chance.

Toll House Time Machine

I

f you discovered you had access to a time machine, what would you do first?

Would you witness the big bang, the creation of the universe? How about meeting Jesus Christ?

Perhaps you would like to change history by saving Abraham Lincoln, hopefully advancing the civil rights movement by a century. How about killing Adolph Hitler before he came to power, saving millions? What about saving John F. Kennedy from an assassin’s bullet, possibly ending the Vietnam War a decade earlier, again saving untold thousands of lives?

All of these are noble uses for a time machine, in my opinion. If you weren’t From the Publisher’s so noble, perhaps you could win the lottery numerous times or cash in on Desk the Super Bowl.

You get the idea, there’s a lot of Tom Stangl different ways to go with this whole “i hi ” thing. “time machine” I bring this up because last week a co-worker started a conversation about what he would do first with a time machine.

“I would go back in time to find the first person who used raisins in a cookie and kill them,” my co-worker said. He noted that some might feel he was a savage animal for doing this, but hoped that, in time, people would see the wisdom of his actions. He would spare countless people the trauma of biting into a cookie, expecting a chocolate chip and instead striking a gooey raisin.

I must confess, I am not a fan of the raisin. Never have been. In fact, this very theoretical discussion of time travel to eliminate raisins as add in to cookies and other baked goods would have eliminated an experience in my past that has come to be known as the “Toll House Pie” incident.

My late mother would nearly always bake a pie when

her children came for dinner on the weekends. Mom made lemon meringue pies and when she discovered the Toll House pie, it became the “go to” pie, partially because of its decadent nature, partly because of its ease of preparation.

The Toll House pie is a creation of the Nestle company. It’s basically a chocolate chip cookie in a pie crust.

Not for the feint of heart or those who have issues with control when it comes to eating cookies.

I loved it, and my mother enjoyed making it, until “the incident.”

We had finished dinner and my mother cut me a piece of the pie and put a dollop of whipped cream on top, because everyone knows it is better with whipped cream.

I took my first bite and bit into something very chewy. This was disturbing because I didn’t know what I was eating. I had a decision to make: would I continue eating the foreign substance or risk the wrath of my mother?

I’m a big boy, I simply stopped eating the pie.

A discussion ensued about what was in the pie and it turns out that my mother had purchased Nestle’s chocolate covered raisins by mistake. My mom was very unhappy that the corporate whiz kids in packaging had used a green stripe instead of the red stripe to differentiate the very different morsels.

I withstood the ribbing about being too picky to eat chocolate covered raisins.

But if my co-worker could get the person who used raisins, no one would have been harmed.

Maybe he’s right, after all…

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Plan to boost prison guard pay creates spike in transfer requests WISPOLITICS.COM

More than 8 percent of the state’s prison guards sought transfers to get a $5-an-hour pay boost in the first eight days after the Evers administration proposed a plan to address critical staff shortages at maximum-security facilities.

Documents obtained by WisPolitics. com through the state’s open records law show that was an 8,000 percent increase from the typical transfer request in a given week.

Republican lawmakers slammed Corrections Secretary Kevin Carr and Gov. Tony Evers for the program, which they say is “fundamentally unfair” and “arbitrarily picks winners and losers.”

The Critical Vacancy Add-On Pilot Program provides a $5-per-hour boost for correctional staff at five maximum-security adult facilities: Columbia Correctional Institution, Dodge, Green Bay, Taycheedah and Waupun plus the juvenile institutions at Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake.

Assembly Corrections Chair Michael Schraa, R-Oshkosh, recently told WisPolitics.com that while he understands the impetus behind the move, he fundamentally disagrees with Carr’s actions.

“I wouldn’t want to be in his position, because, you know, new person coming in and you’ve got a crisis at your maximums,” he said. “I get it, but I think it could have been done differently.”

Carr fired back that in order to address the impending crisis, he had to make a drastic move. He said in the past, similar hiring initiatives that added $1 per hour to wages at targeted institutions had been “totally ineffective” and “didn’t result materially in an increase in hiring or retention.”

“We felt that we had to do something really significant in order to move the

needle,” he said.

But while lawmakers and the administration go back and forth, guards on the front line say even that $5 add-on might not be enough.

A correctional officer at the maximum-security facility in Waupun, who requested anonymity for fear of blowback at work, told WisPolitics.com that even with the add-on, he still plans to transfer out of WCI because security at the facility is “rapidly deteriorating.”

He described a “vicious cycle” wherein the lack of staff at maxes leads to reduced programming that in turn leads to more agitated inmates who become more prone to violence, creating more dangerous working conditions and making recruiting even harder.

DOC documents show that 71 out of the 403 transfer requests came from guards seeking to transfer to WCI, but the correctional officer said even that influx of bodies wasn’t enough to keep him at the facility where he worked his entire career. He said he didn’t want to leave, but “it was not safe or healthy to stay at WCI any longer.”

“This $5 add-on is the only hope that we have right now to save WCI, but it’s still not enough to keep me to stay,” he said.

The adult max facilities face what Carr labeled as “historically high” vacancy rates. A Legislative Audit Bureau report on adult corrections expenditures published earlier this month shows that the five facilities made eligible for the program have vacancy rates that average around 21 percent, roughly double the rates at mediumand minimum-security prisons.

That has led to a workplace culture where, on average, 15 out of 16 correctional officers and sergeants are forced to work overtime every week. The number of extra hours can vary. And

the audit found a plurality of correctional security staff work between 1 to 6.9 hours of overtime each week. But 9 percent of correctional security staff reported averaging 16 hours or more in overtime on a weekly basis.

The LAB audit also found that the five adult facilities eligible for the program operate with a population that ranges from between 142 percent and 154 percent of their original design capacity.

Packaging overworked and exhausted guards together with overstuffed maximum-security facilities, the health and safety of both correctional security staff and inmates are already in jeopardy, according to the guard at Waupun.

Then, Carr said, senior Department of Adult Institutions officials notified him that with summer rapidly approaching, a number of correctional staff planned to use their vacation time to unwind and get away from the rigors of the job. Combined with pending retirements as well as the routine nature of staffing requests that come in during the summer, DOC officials worried these factors could worsen an already combustible situation.

“Once I was put on notice that someone could be seriously hurt, I had to act,” Carr said. “I’m not going to sit there and not try to remedy that situation in order to ensure the safety and security of our staff.”

Carr said in developing the program, he asked his staff to put together a plan that accomplished three goals: increase the number of new people applying for jobs at DOC; provide enough of an incentive to limit the number of people retiring; and increase interest among current corrections staff in transferring to institutions where help is desperately needed.

It’s difficult to judge at this point whether the program has resonated

enough in the minds of the general public to drive recruitment. DOC has data on new recruits, but it isn’t designed to capture the effect of this program.

Recruits must first go through a seven-week training program before being assigned to an institution. While recruits do get to express a preference for certain facilities, the most recent batch of graduates finished their training April 19 and listed their preferences before the add-on program was announced.

Similarly, DOC officials could only provide anecdotal evidence of correctional staff who said the program encouraged them to delay their retirement, but they couldn’t piece together the number of retirements the program had delayed. Schraa said he also had heard from correctional staff that are now considering putting their retirement on hold.

“People that were ready to put their retirement papers in, it maybe would have given them pause to say, ‘Yeah, maybe I’ll wait this out another six months or a year,’” he said.

But the transfer front is where the program has made the most impact so far. Only five correctional staff put in for a transfer to the six facilities eligible for the pay bump during an eight-day period preceding the program’s rollout.

But between April 28 — when the program went into effect — and May 6, 403 correctional staff put in for transfers.

Citizens continue to voice opposition to hog farm JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

The proposed concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) in Trade Lake was the reason a number of people attended the County board of supervisors meeting last week. They were concerned about water quality, liquid manure and property values.

A representative from Clear View Solutions Group told a packed Trade Lake town hall in April the proposed farm would have 7,500 sows and 200 boars

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Ramona Moody spoke in-depth about the impact the proposed amount of liquid manure the CAFO would produce and its potential effect on the groundwater.

on the farm, to begin with. Then they expect 30 piglets per sow per year.

Former Trade Lake Town chair Jim Melin resigned earlier this month. Concerned citizens asked him to recuse himself from the matter because he may make financial gains from the farm.

Melin told the Sentinel in April he sold the land to Clear View Solutions Group but adamantly denied getting any kickbacks from the deal.

At the County Board meeting, a number of concerned citizens voice their opinion on the proposed CAFO and asked the board for a moratorium on the subject so an environmental impact study can be completed.

“Looks like we’ve got a large amount of public here,” County Chair Don Taylor said. “Just so you know, unless the topic is on our agenda we can’t take any action today. The purpose of public comments is to allow you to voice your opinion, it’s not really interactive.”

One of the people were not so worried about the proposed CAFO in Trade Lake, but instead asked what happens “when 10 or 20 CAFOs are in our county.”

She continued to say her main concern was keeping the air and water clean.

Ramona Moody also spoke at the meeting. She has familiarized herself with some members on the board after presenting a packet of information on the proposed CAFO at the May Natural Resources committee meeting.

Moody brought up Iowa, which has its own problems with CAFOs and their effect on the drinking water.

“Cumberland LLC is planning on injecting or spreading liquid manure on our open fields,” Moody said. “When CAFOs go up, there is the potential for water pollution issues.”

She concluded her comments to the board by saying, “Let’s keep our water clean because we’re not Iowa, yet.”

Joe Nelson told the board he had been doing some research and found that hogs produce 10 times more waste than humans. He then extrapolated those numbers and said the CAFO would be the equivalent of 260,000 people moving in.

“That’s how much waste will be produced at the property,” Nelson said. He concluded his comments by saying this is not just something we need to think about now.

“If this hog farm gets built, these groundwater issues may never affect me,” Nelson said. “But they will have an effect on my children and my grandchildren.”

Deb Ryun of the St. Croix River Association asked the board if they could “slow the process down” and to “consider the real costs.” She also compared the cost of farmland, $10,000 an acre to the cost of real estate lakefront property, $260,000 an acre, and asked what will help the county more.

“We want to support the County and we simply ask you to look over every detail of their plan,” Ryun concluded.

At the committee of the whole meeting May 16, County Conservationist Dave Ferris was asked about the CAFO and what his thoughts were.

“It all depends on how they’re managed,” Ferris said. “If they’re managed properly they can be fine, but if they are poorly managed they can be not so good.”

Toward the end of the meeting, Chairman Taylor spoke again about the CAFO and said the County will be looking into what steps can be taken, if any, by the county. He added it will most likely be addressed at their next meeting June 20.

Students learn about local career options JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Every spring Grantsburg High School holds their career day. They are usually spread out in the cafeteria and into the gymnasium, but the gymnasium is under construction, so the cafeteria was flooded last week with career opportunities for students.

“This is a chance for students to learn about careers and businesses in Grantsburg,” the event organizer said, she wished to remain anonymous because the event is about the students. “These students, some will go off to college and may want to come back and work here and it’s important to know there are more careers here than just the gas station and dollar store.”

This event is open to all junior, sophomore and freshman students.

The cafeteria was full of local businesses like McNally Industries, Burnett Medical Center and the Burnett Dairy Cooperative.

“Students get to ask questions of these businesses,” the organizer said. “They talk about the benefits of the job and ask questions about how much school is needed.”

There were also branches of the military and technical colleges answering questions from students.

The representative from the University of Minnesota-Duluth was very excited about the recently crowned National Championship hockey team from the school.

“Back-to-back National Champions!”

he yelled in the Grantsburg cafeteria.

Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Mitch Olson was in Grantsburg with K-9 Tracker.

“I’ve got candy and baseball cards for ya,” Olson told a group of students after explaining to them what it takes to work in the sheriff’s office.

The students favorite part is most likely the freebies that all the booths have. When the student gets their passport signed by the business/school/ military branch they get a freebie from the table.

The event was sponsored by Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company.

Webb Lake Community Club appreciates the donors and shoppers Webb Lake Community Club (WLCC) acts as the link between those who need to donate their goods and those shoppers who are looking for goods. They extend their gratitude to the donors and shoppers because without them, the WLCC would not be able to give back to the communities with the proceeds obtained through their two rummage sales they hold yearly.

Shoppers have remarked about the great organization to the rummage sale and WLCC gives credit to Deb Griffith who is the Lead for the last three years.

Griffith remarked, “WLCC goes the distance to do their best through the rummage sale in showing great love for the community and the serving of the community.” The many workers do not count the hours over the months of organizing these two rummage sales held yearly; instead they look at the return of their time and energy of giving back to the communities.

Your charitable donations are most visible to the shoppers and to the organizations that receive what is remaining after the sales, such as the books go to the library and other goods are delivered to other establishments.

In August 2017, the WLCC donated to the Ambulance building at A & H the amount they promised which was all due to the donors and shoppers.

President Sharon Rochel commented, “Since WLCC started in 1972, WLCC

has been able to give back to the community $275,793.00 from the rummage sales proceeds which happen by the donations from the community and the generous shoppers.”

Kim Anderson from Voyager Village and her entire family are loyal shoppers for the two annual rummage sales since 2002. Their first year at the sale was documented with three trips having their Suburban packed to the maximum. They have picked up supplies for college-bound family members or just to add new merchandise to the household.

Her most unique item was the monkey lamp she purchased at this last rummage sale. She pointed out that many of the items remind her of her grandmother and it makes her feel good. Ms. Anderson responded to the question of why she returns for each sale, “I see the dedication of the WLCC volunteers and how everyone in the area gives to the good causes so I keep coming back.”

The WLCC recognizes the support and fulfill the needs of the people in the communities involved in their rummage sales and thanks the donors and shoppers who play an important part.

They take donations every Tuesday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Webb Lake town hall, 31000 Namekagon Trail and Hwy 77. The next WLCC rummage sale is Friday, Aug. 23 and Saturday, Aug. 24 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Webb Lake town hall.

Webb Lake Community Center will hold their next rummage sale at 31000 Namekagon Trail and Highway 77 will be August 23 and 24. They take donations every Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

THIS IS LIVIN’ Good things happen to everybody. God is faithful, and grace and mercy are ours for the asking. And messy moments happen, and life doesn’t always feel

good. You will giggle and whisper, “Me too,” as Grace shares stories and lessons learned from her own messiness and happy places. We’ll laugh and learn to celebrate great moments, which turn into great days, which turn into a great life. Let’s not wait until life is perfect to start enjoying it.

ABOUT GAYE LINDFORS Gaye loves to laugh and isn’t afraid to poke fun at her own mishaps. From growing up in a small

farming community to living in the big city, she loves the stories that came from observing life in the real world. She high-fives you when you do your happy dances, and whispers, “You’re not alone,” when the messiness comes. Gaye is the author of God, Girlfriends, & Chocolate, and This is Livin’!

Grantsburg

Siren

Webster

Grantsburg’s student of the week is Reis Covey. Reis was a senior this year and is the son of Sarah and Lucas Covey. When in the classroom, Reis always gives his best effort and the teachers always thought he was a joy to teach. He always has such a positive attitude and is always willing to help other students with projects. Reis was involved in a lot of school activities such as being a mascot, the trap team, forensics and football. Outside of school, Reis volunteered at the Continuing Care Center in town. A few of his other hobbies include target shooting, hunting, archery, gaming and watching YouTube videos.

Since completing graduation, Reis would like to attend WITC in New Richmond in the I.T. Web and Software Developer program.

The greatest inuences in his life are his parents because they have taught him some of life’s most important lessons.

Siren’s student of the week is Brennan Koball. Brennan was a senior this year and is the son of Wayne and Kathie Koball.

Aside from graduating from Siren High School this year, Brennan also graduated from the inaugural WITC Financial Services Technical Academy. He is a very charismatic and bright student that always works very hard at whatever he does.

Throughout his high school years, he was a leader in the school participating in band, student council and also track. Brennan has a wonderful work ethic both inside and outside of school. During the summer he would run a lawn mowing business and was extremely successful. Since graduating from high school, Brennan has enlisted in the National Guard and will be attending the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire this fall.

Webster’s student of the week is Winter Messer. Winter is a freshman this year and is the daughter of Michelle and Russell Messer. She is a very detail-oriented person who is self-driven and always has a positive attitude. She not only excels in academics, but she also excels athletically as well. Winter works very hard both in academics and athletics and is a great team leader. She participates in three different sports, volleyball, club volleyball and track. One of her favorite hobbies when she is not at school or in sports is listening to music.

GRANTSBURG SENIORS

by Patzy Wenthe

Did you step out the door and get a whiff of the hot dogs and hamburgers on the grills? Hope your Memorial weekend was relaxing and enjoyable and that you had a chance to attend one of the many memorial programs in the area. A most beautiful site, the flags and flowers adoring the cemeteries.

Today, Memorial Day is synonymous with barbecues and picnics—but the holiday’s roots trace back much further than you might have realized.

Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I, the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate

American military personnel who died in all wars.

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.

Coming Events: · Business meeting the third Tuesday at 1 p.m.

Everyone Welcome! · June 1 Big Gust Days · June 20 Thursday evening dinning at 5 p.m. · June 20 Historical Society presentation at 6:30 p.m. at the center. · Fun with Friends, every day!

Memorial Day has come and gone. There were many celebrations to attend to honor the veterans. I am glad we had nice weather for two of the three days. Memorial Day was very windy and rainy, but Saturday and Sunday were perfect days to be boating or whatever.

The water is still very cold if you did try swimming.

Carol Berglind was the winner of the dollar bingo. I think she got $13.

You could certainly tell it was the weekend as traffic was very bad. We went to the cities and

met steady stream of cars coming north. We tried to avoid traffic by coming different highways and we didn’t travel on Memorial Day to avoid traffic.

The evening meal held at the Senior Center was enjoyed by several. They are thinking about having an evening meal again.

We will have the monthly potluck June 12 at 11:30. Anyone can come. If you do not bring something for the potluck, you can donate money toward the potluck.

You are welcome to stay and play 500 after the potluck.

The 500 winners for May 22 were BrenNell Ward, Sue Newberger, Dwaine Bentley, Susie Hughes and Mary Lengsfeld. I do not have the spade winners as I was in the cities and did not have a chance to get the names.

The Siren Lions were celebrating their 50-year anniversary. In honor of this, they served a free lunch at the park Saturday. Thanks for the lunch!

Tai Chi for Diabetes According to traditional Chinese medicine, enhancing life energy (Qi) in the appropriate acupuncture meridians (energy channels) will improve diabetes. There are many forms of tai chi, and Webster Wellness is pleased to offer a program specifically designed by medical and tai chi experts to focus on health issues and benefits for people with diabetes.

It’s common knowledge that diet and exercise are the cornerstones of diabetes management, but studies have also shown tai chi to have beneficial effects on cardio-respiration fitness, muscular strength, balance, peripheral circulation, reduced tension and anxiety.

With all forms of Tai Chi, there are essential principles included: · Mind integrated with the body · Fluidity of the movements · Control of breathing · Mental concentration The forms used in Tai Chi for diabetes are similar to the forms used for moving for better balance, however, the choreography is different.

There are certain forms that have been shown to be more effective when it comes to diabetes. One of these forms is called playing with the clouds and is repeated four times in tai chi for diabetes instead of just twice in moving for better balance.

There are 19 movements in the tai chi for diabetes program including the opening and closing movements, as well as the transition moves between each movement. The movements are slow and gentle, and the degree of exertion can be easily adjusted thus making it suitable for people of all levels and abilities.

The Tai Chi for Health Series developed by Dr. Paul Lam and associates has modified the Sun and Yang styles forms from their larger movements to address the different issues in a range of chronic conditions to address the special needs of each condition. While the movements are similar, the choreography is different and certain movements are repeated.

For more information on Tai Chi for Diabetes, contact Don Ross at Donaldross01@msn.com or 715-520-8121.

Classes at Webster Wellness are held: • Mondays 9-10:30 a.m.

• Thursdays 9-10:30 a.m.

• April 1 – June 30

This week’s pets show that looks are not everything! In fact, sometimes an unusual outside houses a unique inside.

O’Henry is a lot of personality in a tiny package! This six-year-old, 112-pound cutie has ttraveled all the way from T Texas to find a home!

O O’Henry is a fawn and w white terrier mix – hair llike Toto, body shape like tthe Tramp! While this p poor guy is missing his tteeth, he makes short w work of hard food – nothiing is holding him back ffrom his best life! This O’Henry busybody is curious, comical, housetrained, good with kids and loves some lap time. O’Henry needs a bit of guidance on the leash; regardless, he’ll have you wrapped up in no time!

Pippy can look like a tough girl, but this 10-month-old Labrador/Am Staff mix is a social butterfly! She has a striking black and brown brindle coat and, at 45 pounds, still looks like a younger pup. As an adolescent, Pippy still needs a lot of exercise and guidance; an easy task as she listens well, is eager to please and takes treats gently.

Because she is still rambunctious, Pippy would do better in a home with older children. She would make a great sidekick for summer adventures!

The fantastic fox in Wisconsin EMILY M. STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

My eyes felt dry and tired after an early morning and a long, windy day spent at The Landing Resort on the Chippewa Flowage. When an orange blur streaked across in front of my car, though, suddenly my eyes were wide-open. A fox!

I slowed down and pulled onto the wide, gravel shoulder to see if I could get a better look, but I was fully expecting the fox to melt into the shadows. Instead, it trotted along the opposite shoulder, and then paused on the top of a steep bank that plunged into a dark forest. I dug my camera out of my backpack and started clicking away. The fox’s nose was deep into something delicious lying just over the edge.

When I finally looked away from the viewfinder, I discovered that a second fox had joined the first.

Both were youngsters. Fox kits are generally born in mid-March, so at about two months old, these curious hooligans are almost fully weaned and eating plenty of solid food brought to the rendezvous site by both parents. I guessed that the parents were off in search of said food.

This fox sighting fits well into the bigger picture of animal observations I’ve been making over the past winter. Fox tracks were common on my driveway. While I spotted a lone coyote last fall, I’ve been seeing only wolf sign—and lots of it—since midwinter. It’s like one of those brain teasers about who is sitting next to whom. Coyotes don’t tolerate foxes. They’ll chase or kill them. Wolves don’t tolerate coyotes, but they generally don’t bother foxes. So when you have plenty of wolves around, they push out the coyotes, and the foxes can thrive.

After tugging and biting at some of the snack, one kit lifted its head with a mouthful of fur. Gray squirrel? Cottontail? These are favorite foods for both foxes and coyotes (which is one reason they don’t play well together), but foxes also feed

heavily on mice and chipmunks.

That fox sighting gave me a new spark of energy, so after arriving home, I hopped on my bike for an evening ride in the other direction.

When another orange blur zoomed across in front of me and paused for a moment before diving into a culvert, I let out a shout of delight followed by an irrepressible string of baby talk inspired by the kit’s cuteness.

EMILY STONE

Red foxes eat lots of mice and chipmunks, which seems to reduce the number of Lyme-infected ticks on a landscape.

This was a perfect end to a fun day of teaching third grade “kits� from Hayward about the importance of keeping lakes clean and healthy. The Chequamegon Lions’ Water Habitat Day is an annual event, and the reason that I’d spent the day being blasted by wind at The Landing. Dedicated volunteers teach kids about the connections between healthy lakes, fishing and their own behavior.

Water Habitat Day begins and ends with an all-group gathering, a beautiful Ojibwa song, and a reminder to check for ticks when you get home. That’s good advice for anyone who spends time outdoors.

Not many people realize it, but that warning about ticks and my fox sightings are related. Foxes may be part of the solution.

The trouble with deer ticks is that they carry diseases—Lyme, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and more. Each disease has its own life cycle, and Lyme is currently the most common. Larval ticks—the first life stage that hatches from

eggs—don’t carry Lyme disease.

They do need a blood meal, though, and may acquire the Lyme bacteria while feeding on their first host.

Ninety-percent of the time, ticks pick up the Lyme-causing Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria from mice and chipmunks. If they feed on humans as nymphs or adults, the Lyme may be transmitted to us.

Foxes can interrupt the Lyme bacteria’s cycle by reducing the numbers of mice and chipmunks available for the ticks to feed on.

The ticks may find a different host—one who doesn’t carry Lyme—or they may just starve to death. The effect is so powerful that one area of western New York with unusually high numbers of foxes had no reports of Lyme.

A reduction in the number of foxes may actually be linked to the rise of Lyme in recent decades.

One study of harvest records found that fox numbers in Minnesota declined by 95 percent from 1991 to 2008, while coyote numbers have increased 2,200 percent since 1982.

Wisconsin showed similar trends.

The rise of Lyme mirrors the rise of coyotes. Wolf numbers have increased, too, though, and I’m hoping that they’ll bring in an era of more foxes and fewer ticks.

An era where I have more chances to watch adorable fox kits and fewer chances to contract a tickborn disease? That’s a future I’m looking forward to. In the meantime, I made sure to throw both my outdoor clothes and myself in the wash to get rid of any ticks before going to bed.

Emily’s second book, Natural Connections: Dreaming of an Elfin Skimmer, is now available to purchase at www.cablemuseum.org/ books and will soon be available at your local independent bookstore, too.

Medicare coverage of vaccines GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

You may have seen recent stories in the news about an increase in cases of diseases like measles or hepatitis A, both of which can be prevented by vaccines. Vaccines play an important role in prevent-

ing illness. However, knowing if and when Medicare pays for vaccines can be confusing.

Most vaccines that your doctor recommends will be covered by your Medicare prescription drug plan. Medicare prescription drug plans are required to cover most

commercially available vaccines, including the vaccine for shingles.

The only exceptions are the vaccines for flu, pneumonia and hepatitis B, which are covered by Part B. Please note that SeniorCare does not cover any vaccines.

Vaccine Type

Medicare Coverage

Coverage Rules

Influenza (flu)

Part B

Medicare pays for (and recommends) one shot every flu season.

Additional flu vaccines may be covered if considered medically necessary.

Pneumonia

Part B

Medicare pays for one shot, recommended for all adults aged 65+ and younger adults with chronic health conditions.

Hepatitis B

Part B

Series of three shots, paid for by Medicare for high- or mediumrisk individuals, including those with hemophilia, end stage renal disease, diabetes and other chronic conditions that lower resistance to infection.

Shingles

All Medicare prescription drug plans must cover

One shot paid for (and recommended) after age 60. Patient must check with plan to find out specific rules for administration and payment.

The amount you pay for your vaccine will vary depending on where you get vaccinated. Check your Medicare prescription drug plan’s documents for information about how the plan covers vaccines. Your out-of-pocket costs will usually be lowest at in-network pharmacies or a doctor’s office that can either coordinate with a pharmacy to bill your plan for the entire cost of the vaccination or can bill your plan directly for the vaccination.

If you are vaccinated at an in-network pharmacy, you should only need to pay your plan’s approved

coinsurance or copay for the vaccination. If you get a vaccine at your doctor’s office, ask the doctor to call your plan to find it if your plan can be billed directly. If this is not possible, you may have to pay the full out-of-pocket cost for the vaccination and then request reimbursement from your plan. You might also have to pay the full outof-pocket cost for your vaccination if your provider cannot coordinate with a pharmacy to bill your plan for the entire cost. In this situation, you will also have to request reimbursement from your plan.

You should be aware that your

plan will only reimburse you up to the approved amount, so you will not be refunded for any amount you pay the provider above your plan’s approved amount.

If you have Extra Help or the low-income subsidy (LIS), you can go to any provider or in-network pharmacy for vaccines. You will only be responsible for the Extra Help/LIS copay. However, if you get your vaccine from a provider who cannot directly bill your plan, you may need to pay the entire bill upfront and then request a refund from your plan.

Dementia education for caregivers Do you care for and/or love someone with dementia? Take time now to learn more about dementia, what it is like to have dementia, and how to handle and adjust to changes as the disease progresses by joining the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin and the Alzheimer’s Association on June 13, 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m., at the Burnett County Government Center in Siren. EXPERIENCE firsthand what it is like to have dementia and then listen to and learn from the Alzheimer’s Association about Living with Alzheimer’s for Caregivers—Late Stage.

Through the Dementia Live experience, offered in 20-minute sessions from 8:30-9:50 a.m., you will get a glimpse of what your loved one might be feeling and experiencing each day. This experience is not a test to see if you have dementia and you are not scored; it is just an opportunity to better understand your loved one to improve communication and care. Why go through Dementia Live? Because it’s frightening and very difficult to provide care for someone you don’t understand.

Following the experience from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Living with Alzheimer’s for Caregivers—Late Stage will be presented by the Alzheimer’s Association. Draw from your Dementia Live experience as you learn new ways of connecting and interacting with the person with the disease in the late stages of Alzheimer’s. Hear from caregivers and professionals about resources, monitoring care and providing meaningful connection for the person with late-stage Alzheimer’s and their families.

RSVP only required for the Dementia Live Experience. Groups of four are scheduled in 20-minute increments from 8:30-9:50. Call Barb at the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin at 877-485-2372 to RSVP and schedule a time to go through the experience.

Caring for people who have hurt us JANE DE BROUX DANE COUNTY CAREGIVER PROGRAM COORDINATOR

For many caregivers, providing care for a loved one is something they want to do. Others feel obligated to take on the role because they value family/ friendship ties profoundly and see the duty as theirs. Some caregivers struggle with difficult care recipient behaviors in the present, although the relationship history had been a good one. Yet other caregivers are “drafted” into the role and feel they have no choice but to care for an individual who has abused them.

Because our society offloads so much caregiving responsibility onto unpaid family members, difficult reversals happen more often than you might suspect. When an abused child ends up caring for their elderly parent, there is much greater caregiver burden and stress. There is also a danger that the reversal could result in abuse of the elder by the (now adult) child.

On the face of things, it seemed obvious to me that individuals caring for an abuser would be more stressed than those caring for someone who had provided them with loving care (or at least good-enough care) as a child.

However, when I did some further research, I learned there is also an important distinction in terms of which approach may provide the most relief and support to individual caregivers.

In general, caregiver support comes in one of two forms: emotion-focused coping strategies and solution-focused coping strategies. Emotion-focused coping helps you to become less emotionally reactive to caregiving stressors or it helps change the way you experience them. One example is living in the present so you can separate past behaviors from disease-related symptoms (your mom who tended to criticize in the past is not purposely trying to harass you when she repeats things due to her memory loss). Another is finding a new way to frame your caregiving.

Perhaps you will focus on your value to care for your elders rather than question the particular relationship. You may find compassion for someone who is now very frail, despite being difficult at a more robust point in their lives.

However, these approaches are less effective when care is primarily driven by obligation and a feeling there is no choice.

A 2013 study published in The Gerontologist “. . . offers two important

findings. First, as anticipated, caregivers who cared for their abusive/ neglectful parents had more frequent depressive symptoms than caregivers with no history of abuse/neglect. Second, emotion-focused coping strategies are associated with more frequent depressive symptoms for both abused and non-abused caregivers, but the effects are somewhat stronger for abused caregivers.”

Solution-focused strategies are an alternative. They eliminate sources of stress or work with the stressors themselves. They allow for actions which can address the feeling of being trapped. These solutions may involve providing a significant break from caregiving, like respite care so the caregiver can take a weekend away from everything; or someone to stand in and provide personal cares so they don’t need to participate in intimate tasks like giving showers. The National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP) allows for these coping strategies in the form of grants for respite and supplemental services (like home modifications and assistive devices, which can increase the care recipient’s independence). Solution-focused strategies are a hallmark of the program.

METRO CREATIVE

When you connect with the Caregiver Program, you may make an appointment for an assessment. The discussion that ensues helps the Caregiver Coordinator hone in on what would truly make a difference to you as an individual caregiver.

Postoperative depression, symptoms and signs · fidgeting or restlessness · feelings of despair or hopelessness with no cause · thoughts of harming oneself or others

GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Depression after surgery is common, but it’s rarely talked about. Doctors spend time prepping someone for surgery in terms of practical needs (like what to eat, wear and how to manage pain), but there’s not enough focus on emotional needs. Some studies show that depression and anxiety can make it slower and harder to heal after the surgery. Therefore, it’s helpful for people and their family members to understand why this happens and what can be done about it.

Surgery is an invasion of a person’s body, which can be quite traumatizing, whether they realize it or not. Depression can be caused by a number of things, including pain and discomfort, a lack of mobility, an increased dependency on others, and financial stress.

For patients who have had an organ or body part removed, a feeling of loss can also play a role.

It can be difficult to tell the difference between postoperative depression and normal feelings of sadness that come with recovery. Some symptoms are the same, such as fatigue and irritability, but postoperative depression lasts longer than two weeks. If left untreated, it can actually go on for months. Surprisingly, feelings of hopelessness can persist even when a patient had a successful surgery and is on their way to a full recovery. And, it doesn’t matter how small or large the operation is.

The following is a list of possible symptoms—a person with postoperative depression may feel: · fatigue · difficulty making decisions

METRO CREATIVE

‘Surprisingly, feelings of hopelessness can persist even when a patient had a successful surgery and is on their way to a full recovery. And, it doesn’t matter how small or large the operation is.’ · eating much more or less than normal · sleeping much more or less than normal

· feeling a loss of interest in regular activities · feelings of anxiety, stress, irritability or aggression

The following is a list of possible signs of what you may notice in a person with postoperative depression: · weight change · withdrawal from others · irritability · changes in self-care/appearance · personality changes · tearfulness · indecisiveness/confusion · disorganization · forgetfulness · self-criticism People with a history of mental illness are at the highest risk for developing depression after surgery. No one knows the exact cause of postoperative depression, but some triggers may be: · reaction to anesthesia, antibiotics, or certain painkillers; · pain and discomfort while recovering; · physical, mental, and emotional stresses caused by the disorder and/ or surgery; and · facing the possibility of death.

Having a strong support system is key to recovery. Other things you can do to combat the condition include spending time outdoors (sunlight is a natural mood enhancer), getting enough sleep, maintaining a healthy diet, spending time with loved ones, and finding ways to pass the time, like listening to music, reading or playing games, while you recover from your procedure. When your body (and brain) is ready, you can slowly get back into your usual routine.

How scammers use obituaries GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Recently, the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) received information from a Wisconsin resident who had recently lost her husband. Just a few weeks after her husband’s death, “Michael,” an “insurance agent” called to help the widow “get the lowest price on Medicare.”

Obviously suspicious, she contacted her county’s Aging and Disability Resource Center and the Elder Benefits Specialist made a connection with SMP to investigate the issue. It is very possible that this “agent” found her husband’s obituary and reached out to her in a period of vulnerability.

‘ The more personal facts you provide in an obituary, the greater risk of scams – both for the deceased and their survivors.’

We all know that we shouldn’t make our personal information public (such as addresses, birth dates, birthplaces, family members’ names, nicknames or even hobbies). However, we often publicly share personal information just like this when paying tribute to someone at death. The more personal facts you provide in an obituary, the greater risk of scams – both for the deceased and their survivors.

When writing an obituary, it is best to give the deceased’s age but leave out the birth date, middle name, home address, birthplace and mother’s maiden name.

Even including names of survivors can pose risks. Scammers are always coming up with new and creative deceptions, but the following are some of the most common scams using obituaries: IDENTITY THEFT Identify theft is not just for the living.

Each day, thousands of deceased people are victims of identity theft. In fact, nearly 800,000 people a year are targeted after death because no one is checking their credit reports. Scammers can use details from an obituary to figure out or purchase a Social Security Number, which allows them to fraudulently

open credit card accounts, apply for loans, or even file tax returns to collect refunds. Many people don’t know that the first five digits of a Social Security Number are linked to a time and place of birth!

GRANDPARENTS SCAM Scammers use names published in obituaries to pose as grandchildren of the deceased, calling grieving survivors with stories about being mugged or arrested and needing money. Research shows that with any scam, your vulnerability is highest in the three years after a major stress. Obituaries help scammers identify grieving spouses immediately following the death and can seem credible by citing names and other personal traits.

DECEPTIVE DEBT COLLECTION Scammers often call spouses, children, or siblings to make a claim that survivors must repay the deceased’s debts. However, unless you co-signed the obligation or are otherwise legally responsible, debts are paid from the estate of the deceased person—not from surviving relatives.

FICTITIOUS LIFE INSURANCE Sometimes, scammers contact survivors and claim the deceased person took out a huge (but often “secret”) life insurance policy. The scammers say that before benefits can be collected, a final premium (or taxes, handling fees, etc.) must be paid. Keep in mind: legitimate insurance companies don’t request upfront fees by wire transfer or prepaid debit card.

BURGLARY If the deceased’s address and the time of the memorial service are in the obituary, burglars know that no one will be home, and neighbors may also be paying respects. Therefore, you’ll want to leave the home address out of the obituary and maybe even have a friend or neighbor forgo the funeral and keep watch.

GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

The days are getting longer, the snow is melting, and the grass is starting to turn green, but plants aren’t the only thing starting to emerge from the ground. Spring brings warmer days, sunshine, flowers…and ticks.

Some ticks can carry bacteria that may cause disease in humans. One type of tick, the blacklegged or deer tick, carries the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. When these ticks bite, they can transmit the bacteria to humans. In Wisconsin, most of the cases are seen in the western and northern parts of the state, but cases have also

METRO CREATIVE

increased in central and eastern Wisconsin in recent years. The average number of reported cases has more than doubled over the past 10 years.

Lyme disease can affect the skin, nervous system, heart, and joints of an infected person. Symptoms may appear from three days to 30 days after a tick bite. The illness usually begins as a circular reddish rash around or near the tick bite. The rash expands in size over a period of days or weeks and sometimes looks like a bull’s-eye. Other symptoms may also appear during this time, including fever, headache, fatigue, stiff neck, and pain or swelling in muscles and joints. These symptoms may last for several weeks.

The early stages of Lyme disease can usually be treated easily with antibiot-

ics. However, if left untreated, complications can develop. These complications may include meningitis, heart problems, arthritis, and twitching or weakness in the facial muscles. These cases may be more difficult to treat.

The best way to prevent Lyme disease is to decrease your chances of getting bitten. Here are some tips: Limit exposure to tall grass, and walk-in the center of trails. Ticks can be found hanging on grass and can jump onto you as you walk by.

Mow your lawn regularly and remove leaves and brush from around your home and the edge of your land.

When hiking, gardening and spending time outside, use a bug repellant that contains DEET. You should also wear long pants and socks. You might want to treat your pants and socks with permethrin, a chemical that wards off ticks. Many companies sell clothing already treated with permethrin.

If you’ve been outside where ticks might live, check your entire body when you go back inside. Put your clothing in a dryer on high heat for 10 minutes. The dryer heat will kill any ticks hiding on your clothes.

If your pet goes outdoors, use tick collars, spray shampoos and medications to prevent ticks. Check your pet for ticks when they come back inside.

Don’t share your bed with your pet if your pet has been outside.

Know what ticks look like so you can detect them. If you find a tick, remove it with tweezers. If you get a rash, call your doctor right away.

Pirates capture another Regional title STACY COY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates softball team has a strong tradition of winning, and they added to that history Thursday night when they won their 17th regional championship—the 14th consecutive.

In a game filled with booming hits and big plays, they eliminated the Chequamegon Screaming Eagles 14-7 to advance to sectional play.

The Eagles started hot when their lead-off batter sent the first pitch sailing for a standup double to start the game.

Two batters later, they cracked a homerun to take an early 2-0 lead.

The Pirates answered with two runs of their own in the bottom of the first. Brooke Quimby got on with a single. Rachel Tooze ripped a line drive to right field for a double, and Quimby’s speed allowed her to score from first for the first run of the night for the Pirates.

Lainie Thoreen came in to run for Tooze at second and scored when Rylee Hoffman blasted a shot to centerfield for a double.

That ended the scoring for the

Both squads added to their score in the third inning with

the Eagles bringing in two runs and the Pirates scoring six runs to take an 8-4 lead.

The Pirates’ bats really came

alive this inning as they batted through the line-up on their way to scoring six runs, with all six of those coming with

two outs. Tooze got the first hit with a single to right field, followed by Hoffman who singled to left. Belle Quimby was next, and she too singled to shallow left to load the bases.

Jada Hecht hit a blooper over the pitcher’s head for a single that scored Tooze. The Pirates number nine batter, Jenna McNally, stepped to the plate and crushed a double to centerfield to clear the bases and earn herself three RBI’s.

Emma Quimby cracked a shot to left which went under the fence for a ground rule double, scoring McNally. Brooke Quimby stepped in and blasted a shot to left field for a standup double, which scored her cousin Emma to make it an 8-4 game.

In case anyone needed a reminder, you can never get comfortable with a lead when it comes to playoff time. The Eagles answered with three runs in the top of the fourth to bring the score within one at 8-7.

The Pirates added three more runs in the fifth inning, giving them an 11-7 lead.

WEBSTER––By the way things looked Tuesday morning, the Webster baseball diamond was in no shape to host a baseball game, much less a game of great latitude.

But with a great number of volunteers, the field was transformed into a very well groomed, dry playing surface which benefited both teams.

It helped the Tigers as they took care of the Shell Lake Lakers in convincing style by an 11-0 margin.

The Lakers got a man on in the top of the first inning but was left stranded. Webster, though, went right to work, going all the way through the order to score four runs. Four singles and doubles by Carsen Stenberg and Trevor Gustafson paved the way.

Four more runs came across in inning two for the Tigers as the Lakers had gone down 1-23. Gustafson's two-run home run over the left-center field fence was the highlight of the inning.

Pirates bow out in sectional semis or semi-finals STACY COY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

GRANTSBURG––The Grantsburg Pirates’ softball season came to a screeching halt Tuesday night in the sectional semi-finals at the hands of Turtle Lake/Clayton.

The game ended in the fifth inning with a final score of 14-3.

These two conference rivals know each other well and have played twice this year already, splitting in the regular season.

Their first meeting on April 1 went to the Pirates, 7-6 on their home field. The second game on April 25 was won by TL/C, again by one run, 6-5.

None of that mattered Tuesday night, because this time it was win-or-go-home.

The winner moved one step closer to state, while the other packed up their glove and cleats for the last time.

Unfortunately for the Pirates, Tuesday was not their night and they saw their quest to Madison come to an end. The usually high-powered offense of the Pirates struggled at the plate only mustering seven hits for the game. What’s more telling is the fact they left eight runners stranded on base.

Two of those hits came in the bottom of the fifth inning with their backs against the wall. Susan Roberts singled to get the inning started and Rachel Tooze reached on a fielder’s choice. With two outs, Belle Quimby drew a walk to get on, and in stepped Ellie Duncan who hit a rope up the left-center line to clear the bases. In

Nothing to hang their heads about.

CUMBERLAND––The Grantsburg Pirate golf team carded a 342 on Tuesday's Sectional Golf Meet at the Cumberland Golf Course.

But it wasn't low enough as Luck/Frederic recorded a 338 and Spring Valley a 339 to qualify as teams to move on the State Golf Meet in Madison.

Pirate Jared Lee was low man for the Pirates with a 77 and that score did qualify him as an individual at the upcoming meet.

Joey Duncan shot an 83 with Gus Bergman finishing with an 88. Justin Patterson carded a 94 with Lane Johnson at 102.

From Webster, Carter Doriott had qualified as an individual golfer at the Cumberland meet and he finished with a score of 90.

Give a whole bunch of credit to the Dragons for not giving up to the last out. Every player was giving it his all and leaving it on the field.

Birchwood got two runs in the top of the first, but Siren came back with four of their own. Four walks, a single, an error and a ground out accounted for the runs.

The Dragons duplicated that effort in inning two with four additional scores. Four walks and three singles got the runs in.

Birchwood got single runs in the fourth and fifth innings, whereas the Dragons added two in their fourth and a single run in the fifth, making the score 11-4 after five innings of play.

Pirates’ season comes to an end STACY COY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

CUMBERLAND—The Grantsburg Pirates and the Cumberland Beavers faced off for the second time in a week Thursday night. This time the stakes were higher, with the losing team heading home for good. Unfortunately, that was the Pirates who bowed out in the opening round of Regional play, losing 5-0 to the Beavers to end their season.

“We could only must one hit against Tift,” Pirates head coach Pete Johnson said. He was referring to Wyatt Tift, Cumberland’s pitcher, who struck out 10 Pirate batters for the game.

The game was tight early on, with both teams score-

less through the first three innings of play. The Beavers scored their first run in the bottom of the fourth.

A couple of fielding errors by the Pirates cost them in the fifth. They had two outs on the Beavers before three runs scored to make it a 4-0 game. Cumberland tacked on one more in the sixth to end the scoring.

David Nelson started on the mound for the Pirates, striking out five in his five innings of play. Sterling McKinley stepped in to finish off the last inning.

“David pitched well in the last outing of his career,” Coach Johnson said of his pitcher.

The Pirates say good-bye to seniors Luke Anderson, David Nelson and Ben Johnson.

Brooke Quimby hangs on to a catch even after colliding with left fielder Belle Quimby during the win over the Eagles.

Jack Washburn won three events and broke the school record in long jump and triple jump.” (The third event Washburn won at Sectionals was the high jump.)

“Harlo Olson was first in the shot put and second in the discus (at Sectionals).

If you combine that with two fifth place finishes from the boys 4x800 (Hunter Erickson, Carter Doriott, Kerik Stubbe, Xavier Stanton) and Hunter Erickson in the 1600 and we ended up with enough points to bring home the trophy.”

“I use the word bittersweet because of the two fifth place finishes. As you know, the top four move on to the state meet and we had a great group of kids who ran their best times of the season and still end up on the outside looking in. We just want to commend that relay team and Hunter who ran crazy good times and gave absolutely everything.

There were three seniors on that relay that had a career of dedication and it now sadly, comes to an end. We are proud of the way they represented our school and team. Even though they didn't move on, they congratulated every team in front of them. Just a bunch of really classy kids were sad to see be done. Like I said, bittersweet.”

Coach Brad Nelson of the Pirates commented, “We took 17 athletes to Sectionals and have 11 advancing to State. It was a very exciting night for us. Every athlete that we felt had a shot at making the top four achieved it. This is the largest group we've taken to State since Kim (Hallberg) and I have been coaching, so we are really proud of how hard these athletes have worked to get to this point. Some of the athletes are returning to state, while others are making their first trip.

Bart Starr, 1960s Green Bay quarterback, dies at 85 Bart Starr, the gentlemanly quarterback and catalyst of Vince Lombardi’s powerhouse Green Bay Packers teams of the 1960s whose sneak won the “Ice Bowl” in 1967, died Sunday. He was 85.

The Packers selected Starr out of the University of Alabama with the 200th pick in the 1956 draft. He led Green Bay to six division titles, five NFL championships and wins in the first two Super Bowls.

The Packers said Starr died in Birmingham, Alabama, where he lived. He had been in failing health since suffering two strokes and a heart attack in 2014.

“A champion on and off the field, Bart epitomized class and was beloved by generations of Packers fans,” Packers President Mark Murphy said in a statement. “A clutch player who led his team to five NFL titles, Bart could still fill Lambeau Field with electricity decades later during his many visits.”

Until Brett Favre came along, Starr was known as the best Packer ever. The team retired his No. 15 jersey in 1973, making him just the third player to receive that honor. Four years later, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

After losing the 1960 NFL title game in his first playoff appearance, the Packers never lost another playoff game under Starr, going 9-0, including wins over the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders in the first two Super Bowls.

“If you work harder than somebody else, chances are you’ll beat him though he has more talent than you,” Starr once said. He credited Lombardi for showing him “that by working hard and using my mind, I could overcome my weakness to the point where I could be one of the best.”

After football, Starr, became a successful businessman in Birmingham, Alabama, not far from his hometown of Montgomery, where he was born on Jan. 9, 1934.

Starr was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro. He won NFL titles in 1961, `62, `65, `67 and `68. He was the 1966 NFL MVP and was named to the 1960s All-Decade team. He also was named MVP of the first two Super Bowls.

But the play he was most famous for was a run.

In the NFL championship on Dec. 31, 1967, Starr knifed into the end zone

behind guard Jerry Kramer and center Ken Bowman with 16 seconds left to lift the Packers over the Dallas Cowboys 21-17 in what became known as the “Ice Bowl.”

The Packers had spent $80,000 for a heating coil system that was to have kept the field soft and warm, and forecasters said not to worry because the approaching cold front wouldn’t arrive until after the game.

“It was 20 degrees the day before,” the late Tom Landry once recalled. “It was great. Vince and I were together that night and we talked about how good the conditions were and what a great game it would be.”

With a temperature of minus-14 and a wind chill of minus-49, it was the coldest NFL game ever recorded. The wind chill had dipped another 20 degrees by the time the Packers got the ball at their 32 trailing 17-14 with minutes left.

With one last chance for an aging dynasty to win a fifth NFL title in seven seasons, Starr took the field as linebacker Ray Nitschke hollered, “Don’t let me down!”

Starr wouldn’t, completing all five of his passes and directing one of the most memorable drives in NFL history.

“We all have a capacity to focus and to concentrate to a unique degree when we’re called upon to do it,” Starr said on the 30th anniversary of that game.

“That’s exactly what I did that day. And I think the same was true of the Cowboys. Let’s face it, they obviously were not accustomed to something like that and yet they were the team which had surged and come back in the second half and were in a position to win it.”

With 1:11 remaining, tackle Bob Skoronski opened a hole and Mercein charged through the middle for 8 yards to the Dallas 3.

Halfback Donny Anderson slipped twice on handoffs, so Starr called timeout, went to the sideline and suggested a sneak because of the poor traction.

“Then run it and let’s get the hell out of here,” Lombardi barked.

The play worked perfectly, a flawless finish to that coldest of games so frozen in time.

“While he may always be best known for his success as the Packers quarterback for 16 years, his true legacy will always be the respectful manner in which he treated every person he met,” Starr’s family said in a statement.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

MAY 29, 2019 www.burnettcountysentinel.com

WISCONSIN HEMP: business expected to grow up to $1.9 billion by 2021 in US CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Abbie Testaberg began researching alternative treatments in addition to Western medicine. This exploration led Testaberg back to her husband’s previous job — cannabis.

“Thinking about alternative healing and wellness options for my kids opened me to the realities of medical cannabis, which my husband already knew,” Testaberg said. “On the journey, so far, my biggest interest is better understanding the plant and the endocannabinoid system to consider how my children may benefit.”

Now, Testaberg has devoted her career to cannabis, and to the production of one form of the plant — hemp — which recently was legalized in Wisconsin.

Testaberg is an authorized hemp grower and processor in Wisconsin, which launched an industrial hemp pilot program in 2018 and now has more than 2,100 applications for licenses in 2019.

Hemp is a member of the cannabis sativa plant family — the same family as marijuana. The plant looks essentially the same but has been bred to contain less than 0.3 percent of THC, the chemical that causes the “high” in marijuana. In comparison, marijuana seized by federal officials averages about 12 percent THC. Some hemp license holders are growing the plant now in anticipation of legalization of marijuana in Wisconsin, which is gaining support from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and a growing numbers of lawmakers. But GOP leaders who run the Legislature plan to strip decriminalization and medical marijuana legalization from Evers’ budget.

WISCONSIN A HISTORICAL LEADER IN HEMP In the early 1940s, Wisconsin led the country in the production of hemp. At one point during World War II, the state had 42 hemp mills.

Wisconsin’s climate and “diverse” farming industry make it an ideal environment for growing hemp, according to Irwin Goldman, professor and chairman of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Horticulture.

“We obviously have a big dairy industry, but we also grow a lot of fruits and vegetables, we have forages to feed the dairy animals, we have lumber for paper,” Goldman said.

In 1970, industrial hemp got swept into the federal Controlled Substances Act along with marijuana and became a Schedule I drug. This effectively placed a ban on growing the crop in the United States for nearly 50 years.

Farmers in Wisconsin started planting hemp again in May 2018, after Act 100 authorized a pilot program overseen by the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Production (DATCP).

That legislation, passed on a unanimous vote, was made possible by the 2014 Federal Farm Bill, which ended the decades-long ban on hemp.

Modern day hemp has numerous uses, including fiber products, building materials such as drywall, paper, biofuel, food such as cereal and bread, cosmetics — even jeans. The top use for hemp in the United States is for cannabidiol, or CBD, a non-intoxicating substance used for a variety of medical conditions.

fees, including a one-time $150 license fee, $350 annual registration and $250 annual sampling cost.

Before harvest, DATCP tests the plant for its THC content; anything above 0.3 percent is considered marijuana, and the state orders it to be destroyed.

Additionally, participants must pass a background check. Anyone with a felony drug conviction is banned from the program.

Jody and Abbie Testaberg are seen on their hemp farm, Kinni Hemp Co., along with their sons Aki, 8, and Ari, 6, in River Falls, Wis., on April 18, 2019. The Testabergs grow industrial hemp and plan to build greenhouses and indoor growing rooms. Wisconsin recently legalized growing and selling of hemp, which is from the same family as the marijuana plant. Some growers say they are producing hemp in anticipation of possible legalization of medical or recreational cannabis in Wisconsin.

HEMP HELPS WISCONSIN FARMERS State Sen. Patrick Testin, R-Stevens Point, who was the lead sponsor of Act 100, sees hemp as a way to support Wisconsin farmers. In 2017, there were $820 million dollars in hemp product sales in the United States. The Hemp Business Journal estimates this will grow to $1.9 billion by 2022.

“This is an opportunity for us to reintroduce a crop that we once led the nation in, to help our farmers raise up their margins but more importantly, the research and innovation is going to open the door here in the state of Wisconsin,” Testin said. “I am thoroughly convinced … that within the next five to 10 years, Wisconsin is going to be the national leader in industrial hemp again.”

The Testabergs were among the first 135 growers to plant seeds last year in Wisconsin. In 2018, a total of 1,850 field acres and 22 greenhouse acres were planted statewide, according to Jennifer Heaton-Amrhein, a policy analyst at DATCP. Applications to grow and process hemp have grown dramatically for the program’s second year — over 2,100 people have applied for the licenses this year. Evers has recommended adding five full-time positions and an additional $300,000 to support the program in his 2019-21 budget.

The program is supported in part by

STATE, FEDERAL LAWS CLASH Wisconsin officials are striving to update state regulations to conform to the 2018 Federal Farm Bill.

“The only constants in the industrial hemp program are change and ambiguity,” Heaton-Amrhein said. “There are a lot of gray areas, and the reason is that there is this merging of federal laws and state law, and they’re not necessarily consistent.”

Many of these inconsistencies are addressed in Senate Bill 188, known as “Hemp 2.0” or the Growing Opportunities Act, a bipartisan bill that Testin introduced on April 30. The bill would redefine marijuana to exclude hemp and remove THC found in hemp from the controlled substances list, among other provisions.

These legal ambiguities had real consequences for the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. After the 2014 Farm Bill allowed states to implement industrial hemp research pilot projects, the tribe voted to create its own in 2015.

Marcus Grignon and other Menominee tribal farmers planted industrial hemp on about 3 acres of the reservation in northeastern Wisconsin. On Oct. 23, 2015, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration raided the farm and destroyed the 33,000 plants.

The tribe sued the federal government, arguing its program was legal under the 2014 federal legislation. But a judge disagreed, saying the law only applied to state-run hemp programs.

Grignon has since enrolled in Wisconsin’s industrial hemp program.

“Hemp is growing again in tribes, it’s growing again in Wisconsin, and it’s growing again across the nation,” he said.

CBD IS BIGGEST HEMP PRODUCT CBD accounts for 23 percent of the hemp-based product sales in the United States in 2017, the Hemp Business Journal said.

Growing hemp for grain or fiber and growing for CBD are different processes, said James Jean, the business developer at Legacy Hemp, a company that works with farmers in Wisconsin,

Minnesota and North Dakota.

CBD plants require more hands-on labor and are often grown indoors.

They also can be much more expensive.

Seeds can cost between $1 and $5 each, while grain and fiber seeds can run $4 a pound.

Farmers stand to make a high income from producing CBD — but it can be risky, in part because infrastructure for processing and selling hemp is still developing in Wisconsin, Jean said.

“We believe that market bubble is going to pop, because everybody is jumping into the game right now,” Jean said.

“If you don’t have a buyer and contract on paper going into it, it’s going to be a scramble at the end of the season to get the yield and the cash flow that people are expecting.”

Another risk in growing hemp for CBD is the possibility that the crop will be above 0.3 percent THC. This happened to 21 of 295 samples in Wisconsin last year, including one of Testaberg’s.

She had to destroy a small amount of her crop that tested “hot.”

Almost all CBD varieties will go above 0.3 percent at some point of the season, Heaton-Amrhein said. This depends partly on the genes of the seed, and DATCP has banned the use of one variety. Farmers are responsible for testing the crop regularly and harvesting at the right time to ensure their crop is under 0.3 percent, she said.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is researching how THC levels vary in hemp to determine how farmers can avoid having to destroy crops.

‘IT’S HEMP, IT’S FINE’ On a Sunday morning in April, nearly 500 people attended It’s Hemp, It’s Fine, billed as Madison’s first-ever hemp/CBD expo. Attendees could test CBD in products from chocolate to cocktails. Besides the samples, a local CBD retailer sold a bottle of pills for $60 and $380 for up to 2 ounces of tincture.

Jeff Oler and his daughter, Elizabeth Pierson, are newly enrolled in Wisconsin’s hemp program. Both use CBD and plan on growing CBD-rich hemp on 1 acre of land near Richland Center. Oler waited to join the program until the second year — he wanted to see what happened during the first year before investing.

But they have faced difficulty in finding and connecting with other growers, processors and buyers because the state keeps the names of hemp license holders confidential.

The legality of CBD depends on how it is marketed. If companies are just bottling it up and selling it, that is legal.

But if they are marketing it as a cure to any sort of aliment, it is not legal. Still, it is hard to enforce, and Heaton-Amrhein says it is “the wild, wild West out there” when it comes to CBD. Products claiming to be CBD have turned out to have no CBD or above the 0.3 percent THC concentration limit, Testin said. The new bill would prohibit the mislabeling of hemp products.

Testin said some participants in the hemp program are learning to grow the plant because of its similarity to marijuana. The Republican senator said he is “not there yet” on legalization of recreational marijuana, but is exploring options for the legalization of medical marijuana.

“But,” he added, “there are a number of my colleagues in the Senate who are not supportive of any form of either medical or recreational, so it is going to take some time.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wisconsin man pleads not guilty in fatal Girl Scouts crash CHIPPEWA FALLS—A 22-year-old Wisconsin man accused of inhaling chemical vapors before crashing into a group of Girl Scouts has pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide charges for the deaths of three girls and one mother.

Colten Treu entered his pleas in Chippewa County Court Friday and a trial has been scheduled for January. He faces 11 charges and he pleaded guilty to all of them.

Prosecutors say Treu was high on fumes from an aerosol can when he crashed into the Girl Scouts group picking up trash along a highway in Lake Hallie in November.

Treu’s attorney said there was no evidence that Treu had been huffing, citing a blood sample that failed to detect any chemicals. Prosecutors countered that Treu left the scene so a blood draw wasn’t taken until that evening.

Statement of Jayme Closs at sentencing for abductor BARRON —Jayme Closs’ statement at Friday’s sentencing for Jake Patterson, the 21-year-old man who killed her parents and kidnapped her last October, holding her captive for 88 days before she escaped. Closs did not appear in court, and her statement was read in court by family attorney Chris Gramstrup: “Last October, Jake Patterson took a lot of things that I loved away from me. It makes me the most sad that he took away my Mom and my Dad. I loved my Mom and Dad very much and they loved me very much. They did all they could to make me happy and protect me. He took them away from me forever.

“I felt safe in my home, and I loved my room and all of my belongings. He took all of that too.

I don’t want to even see my home or my stuff because of the memory

of that night. My parents and my home were the most important things in my life. He took them away from me in a way that will always leave me with a horrifying memory.

“I have to have an alarm in the house now just so I can sleep. I used to love to go out with my friends. I loved to go to school. I loved to do dance. He took all of those things away from me too. It’s too hard for me to go out in public.

I get scared and I get anxious.

These are just ordinary things that anyone like me should be able to do, but I can’t because he took them away from me.

“But there’s some things that Jake Patterson can never take from me. He can’t take my freedom. He thought that he could own me but he was wrong. I was smarter. I watched his routine and I took back my freedom. I will always have my freedom and he will not.

“Jake Patterson can never take away my courage. He thought he could control me, but he couldn’t.

I feel like what he did is what a coward would do. I was brave. He was not.

“He can never take away my spirit. He thought that he could make me like him, but he was wrong. He can’t ever change me, or take away who I am. He can’t stop me from being happy and moving forward with my life. I will go on to do great things in my life, and he will not.

“Jake Patterson will never have any power over me. I feel like I have some power over him, because I get to tell the judge what I think should happen to him. He stole my parents from me. He stole almost everything I love from me.

For 88 days he tried to steal me, and he didn’t care who he hurt or who he killed to do that.

“He should stay locked up forever.”

Judge: Anheuser-Busch must pull some ads about MillerCoors MILWAUKEE—A Wisconsin judge has ordered Anheuser-Busch to stop suggesting in advertising that MillerCoors’ light beers contain corn syrup, wading into a fight between two beer giants that are losing market share to small independent brewers.

U.S. District Judge William Conley for the Western District of Wisconsin on Friday granted a preliminary injunction sought by MillerCoors that temporarily stops Anheuser-Busch from using the words “corn syrup” in ads without giving more context.

MillerCoors sued its rival in March, saying St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch has spent as much as $30 million on a “false and misleading” campaign, including $13 million in its first commercials during this year’s Super Bowl.

However, the ruling did not affect all of Anheuser-Busch’s advertising targeting MillerCoors, allowing the commercials that premiered at the Super Bowl to keep airing.

Anheuser-Busch’s ad drew a rebuke from the National Corn Growers Association, which thanked MillerCoors for its support. In its lawsuit, MillerCoors said it’s “not ashamed of its use of corn syrup as a fermentation aid.”

Corn syrup is used by several brewers during fermentation. During that process, corn syrup is broken down and consumed by yeast so that none of it remains in the final product. Bud Light is brewed with rice instead of corn syrup, but Anheuser-Bus-

ch uses corn syrup in some of its other beverages, including Stella Artois Cidre and Busch Light beer.

MillerCoors applauded the ruling and said Anheuser-Busch should be trying to grow the beer market, not “destroy it through deceptive advertising.”

“We are pleased with today’s ruling that will force Anheuser-Busch to change or remove advertisements that were clearly designed to mislead the American public,” said MillerCoors CEO Gavin Hattersley.

Anheuser Busch, however, called the ruling a “victory for consumers” because it allows the brand’s “Special Delivery” Super Bowl ad to continue airing.

That ad showed a medieval caravan pushing a huge barrel of corn syrup to castles for MillerCoors to make Miller Lite and Coors Light. The commercial states that Bud Light isn’t brewed with corn syrup. Anheuser Busch said the ad would air as early as this weekend.

“As the number one selling beer in the U.S., Bud Light remains committed to leading the alcohol industry by providing more transparency for consumers including letting them know about the ingredients that are used to brew their beer,” said Cesar Vargas, Anheuser-Busch vice president of legal and corporate affairs.

Judge Conley ordered Anheuser Busch to temporarily stop using advertisements that mention corn syrup without references to “brewed with,” “made

with” or “uses,” or that describe corn syrup as an ingredient in the finished products.

The ruling affects two Bud Light commercials and billboards that describe Bud Light as containing “100 percent less corn syrup” than Miller Lite and Coors Light.

Anheuser Busch said those ads are no longer up and the company had no plans to continue using them.

Judge Conley also denied an Anheuser Busch motion to dismiss the case, saying it was likely to succeed in proving misleading statements and some harm to the reputation of MillerCoors.

Chicago-based MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch have the biggest U.S. market share at 24.8 percent and 41.6 percent, respectively, but they’ve been losing business in recent years to smaller independent brewers, imports, and wine and spirits, according to the Brewers Association.

MillerCoors maintains Anheuser-Busch is preying on health conscious consumers who have negative connotations of corn syrup, sometimes confusing it with the high-fructose corn syrup in sodas.

The feud threatens to disrupt an alliance between the two companies to work on a campaign to promote the beer industry amid declining sales.

Haugaard’s West Denmark Fiddle School Looking to inspire and attract students, recognized Danish fiddler Harald Haugaard, founder of the successful International Fiddle School in Breklum Germany, has opened an American version at West Denmark, one-mile West of Luck, Wisconsin. This will be the fourth year of what is intended to be an annual event to be held at West Denmark. Registration begins on Sunday, June 9, with a picnic supper followed by an orientation to the fiddle school. There will be four days of instruction and other activities and then ending on Thursday, June 13, with a final concert in the evening.

Joining Haugaard this year are fiddle players, Antti Järvelä from Finland, Scottish fiddle champion Hanneke Cassel from Boston, Massachusetts, Kevin Henderson from the Shetland known for his fiddle playing with The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc and Boys of the Lough, and new this year is cellist Mike Block who performs most notably with the Silk Road Ensemble.

A little more about the fiddle players: Harald Haugaard’s virtuoso fiddle playing combines playful ease with a rich and melancholic sound. In both composition and performance, Haugaard has shown himself to be an inquisitive and innovative artist who is continuously searching for something new. He brings a contemporary flair to the traditional Danish music in which he is clearly rooted.

Antti Järvelä grew up in a small town of Kaustinen, Finland, in a family where the traditional fiddling has been carried through several generations. In Kaustinen Music College, Antti also started to learn the double bass, which soon became his main instrument. After studying bass at the famous Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, he decided to make music his profession. Antti works as a full-time freelance musician and teacher allaround the world, carrying on the energy and fun he’s got to experience with folk music. He is the founder of the Finnish- Norwegian power folk string band Frigg and a member to such bands as Baltic Crossing, JPP, Troka and Kings of Polka.

Hanneke Cassel is described as “Exuberant and rhythmic, somehow both wild and innocent, delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness,� says The Boston Globe about her playing.

Such charismatic fiddling has brought Hanneke Cassel many honors and awards. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Violin and performance from Berklee College

of Music, and she has performed and taught across the U.S., Scotland, Sweden, China, New Zealand, France, England and Austria.

Kevin Henderson is one of the most exciting young fiddlers on the world stage and is in hot demand as he performs around the globe with five musical groups.

He has been a member of Shetland group, Fiddlers’ Bid, since 1991; Celtic group, Boys of the Lough, since 2002; Scottish group, Session A9, since 2004; Nordic trio, The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc, since 2009 and Shetland/Norway trio, Aamos since 2009. He has appeared on television and radio programs worldwide, including the BBC and many appearances on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion� on National Public Radio in America.

Mike Block is a pioneering cello player, singer, composer and educator, hailed by Yo-Yo Ma as the “ideal musician of the 21st-century.� At home in a wide range of musical styles, through a multigenre approach to composition, performance and education, he seeks to inspire audiences and empower musicians to find joy in the full world of music. Mike is member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble (SRE), having joined in 2005 while a student at The Juilliard School. In 2010 he founded the Mike Block String Camp (MBSC) as a way to provide players of all backgrounds the opportunity to learn from a world-class faculty.

These five amazing fiddle players and teachers will offer a four-day event for playing music, singing, dancing and making new friends. People from all ages and from diverse cultures, countries and styles are welcome. Come and share a passion for learning music based on Scandinavian and Anglo/Celtic traditions.

While the Fiddle School features the violin, other instruments such as cellos, guitars, mandolins and even Swedish nickelharpas are also welcomed.

On Tuesday, June 11, the five Fiddle School instructors will be performing a concert at West Denmark Lutheran Church in Luck. In this lovely setting with windows overlooking Little Butternut Lake, hand crafted church furniture, and a traditional Danish wood sailing ship hanging from the ceiling, you will hear old and new melodies played by world class artists who are among the best at their craft. Tickets will be available for sale at the door. For adults, tickets are $20, and for students, tickets are $10.

On Thursday, June 13, there will be a Finale Concert where 58 Fiddle School participants, along with their instructors, will play an energetic concert of the tunes they have learned at the Fiddle School. This concert will be at the Luck High School auditorium. There will be no admission fee, but there will be a free-will offering.

Between valleys and mountaintops

Pastor Eddie Crise United Methodist Church

Recently I was talking with a parishioner and we were talking about how often that we’re going to encounter God on the mountaintop experiences of our lives, the highest of highs, the grandiose, the times when God’s brilliance is clear and abundant. Yet it’s often that we come to rely on God in the valleys. When we desperately need God to carry us through our lowest points, the Holy Spirit is always available to guide us with grace. It reminds me of the chorus from a song by the band Jars of Clay, “I will sing of Your mercy / That leads me through valleys of sorrow / To rivers of joy.�

Yet for all the talk about the spiritual

abundance that can come from the valleys and the mountaintop experiences in our lives, I’m also drawn to what comes in the middle. This Spring I’m enjoying watching a friend of mine as she hikes the Appalachian Trail. There have been some amazing photos from the trip and it seems like she’s still thrilled by every day on the trail. Her spiritual and physical journey isn’t just about the beauty that comes through in those pictures; it also comes through in the journey.

One thing that I’ve learned is that not only are the uphill climbs as grueling as you might expect, but that hikers need to

conserve their energy for the downhill parts of the hike as well. It can be too easy to overexert yourself on the way down a mountain.

Even though one doesn’t feel it right away, all of that energy can drain you quickly.

The Bible is full of stories about journeys up and down mountains and God was there to give the spiritual grounding for the journey just as much as the experience itself. The valley and the mountaintop may capture our imagination but those journeys are spiritually important as well. As you find yourself somewhere in between valleys and mountaintops, know that God will go with you just like the disciples before.
