Community Bank comes to Danbury DANBURY—Banking is restored to Danbury. The Danbury branch of Community Bank of Cameron is now open at 7511 Main Street in Danbury, next door to the Danbury ambulance building. Prior to the Community Bank opening last month, Danbury had no banking since the previous banking company closed its doors earlier in the spring. The location is a full-service branch with people available to assist with a wide range of financial products and services. Among the services offered at the branch building are a self-serve coin counting machine and a night depository. “We were delighted to be asked by the citizens of the Danbury area to consider opening a branch in the community,” said Community Bank President Ted Gerber. “We completed all the necessary regulatory steps to open the branch and so far have been very well received. We are pleased to be of service to the businesses and residents of the Danbury area.” Community Bank is part of the surcharge-free MoneyPass ATM system. MoneyPass has more than 25,000 surcharge-free locations across the U.S., with one located at the Log Cabin Store in Danbury. An open house is planned for July 1, 2017 to coincide with other local 4th of July festivities. Banking hours vary during the week, as follows: • Monday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. • Tuesday and Wednesday 9 a.m. to noon. • Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• Saturday 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Long-time residents of Danbury will recall that the Community Bank building was home to several businesses. It originally was the Danbury Post Office; later the Bremer Bank was housed there. More recently, the building housed a pawn shop and a donut shop.

BURNETT COUNTY— Walking down the shoulder of Highway 70 when he was 17, Mark Stoner was struck by a car, knocked unconscious, dragged to the side of the road and left in the weeds. His left side was essentially crushed and the person who struck him sped off into the night. After he awoke tattered and broken on the side of the road, he crawled to a pay phone at a Hertel Papa Johns to call for help. Before that night, Stoner was a lettered, state-competing, college-bound athlete in both track and football. Only four months remained in his high school career but due to the intense recovery conditions, Stoner was unable to attend school and, thus, his graduation date was postponed and dreams of becoming a college athlete were gone. Many would see this as the pinnacle of tragic events in a young person’s life; however, that situation was the tipping point, one piece to an ugly puzzle. “I grew up on the res (reservation). I grew up fighting with kids on the res because I looked white. In school, I was fighting with kids because I was Native,” said Stoner. Stoner is the son of a mixed marriage, with a white father and Native American mother. His father lived in Cumberland, Wis. “The only time I ever got to leave the res when I was a kid, I would go with my dad on weekends to his house. Until he was shot and killed when I was 11 years old. “That was another massive disappointment in my life. After that, I was stuck on the res. Well, then I got into sports and things started looking good.” Stoner is the first to admit that his younger years — even before the accident — were occupied by many criminal activities, mainly theft and off and on interaction with gangs in the Twin Cities. But, with the passing of his father and being caught in two race narratives, he continually asked himself, Who am I? For a time, Stoner seemed to be holding on to a life of normality through high school and his love for sports. But, on the night of the hit-and-run his life altered and fell over the fence onto a darker pasture. The drug abuse began with prescribed painkillers and easy access to other drugs through social circles; all of this escalated to drugs such as crack-cocaine and eventually, meth. In 1988, Stoner began his long journey with the drug that plagues many areas of this country, especially Northern Wisconsin. Stoner was introduced

Webster MS receives award and visits Lake Superior

SEAN DEVLIN | SENTINEL

Winter Messer, Josie Johnson, Mason Getts and teacher Mrs. Mahlen share their Lake Superior experiences with the Webster School Board.

WEBSTER— The Tiger’s 7th and 8th grade Reading Teacher Mrs. Mahlen stood before the Webster School Board on May 15 and said, “Recently, I got to explore Lake Superior, and I was just enamored. So, I wanted to share that with the kids.” The two classes were awarded a grant from the Webster Education Foundation, and with the money were able to travel to Duluth to experience Lake Superior and visit the Great Lakes Aquarium. The experience was called Middle School Fish and Ships Project.

The presentation was given by middle schoolers Winter Messer, Josie Johnson and Mason Getts. The students explained that their Lake Superior adventure began even before they were brought to Duluth. Students were given options of what aspect of the Lake they wished to study. Some of the topics included the study of fish, lighthouses, and even the study of things on the bottom of the lake. The students were even introduced to “the economy of the Lake,” a topic which identified the different resources that come from Lake Superior.

Tony Evers presents the award to Webster Middle School staff. (l-r) Principal Pam Peterson, Lauren Amundson, Evers, Elementary Principal Martha Anderson and Jessica Hedrick.

While at the aquarium, students experienced the “touch tank” where they were given the chance to touch a sturgeon. All together, 79 students and nine adults enjoyed an educational trip to Duluth. “The next day at school we had to write a reflection about what we liked and disliked. But, I think most people liked it and would like to do it again. And, thanks to the Webster Education Foundation for making this possible,” said Getts. In other Webster school news: Jeanne Daniels, the dance team instructor, has put in her resignation. The board feels there are enough numbers to continue the program and will be looking for a replacement instructor. This is a volunteer position. Daniels served as the dance instructor for five years. Also, the school board approved a motion for continuance of the Webster/ Siren softball co-op. However, the Webster/Siren golf co-op has only six participants, all from Webster, so the board has decided to discontinue the co-op. The school will apply for single participation status to the WIAA for the upcoming golf season.

The board approved the motion to increase the Tiny Tiger program from every other day to all day, every day in the 2017-18 school year. The board feels this move may increase involvement in the program. In addition to the Webster School District being included on the US NEWS school rankings, the Webster Elementary and Middle School have recently received a Wisconsin Title 1 School of Recognition Award. Webster received this award in the category of “Beating-theOdds.” “Beating-the- Odds” schools are “in the top 25 percent of high-poverty schools in the state.” And, also, “have above-average student achievement in reading and mathematics when compared to schools from similarly sized districts, schools, grade configurations, and poverty levels.” This is the tenth consecutive year Webster Middle School has received this award and the eighth consecutive award for the Elemenary. The awards are presented each year by the Wisconsin Department of Instruction. This year, the awards were announced by State Superintendent Tony Evers.

‘This is the tenth consecutive year Webster Middle School has received this award and the eighth consecutive award for the Elementary.’

Guilty until proven innocent: the case for civil asset forfeiture reform GUEST EDITORIAL BY SENATOR DAVID CRAIG WISCONSIN SEN. DISTRICT 28 - BIG BEND, WI

The rights and freedoms protected by the Bill of Rights are being eroded by an over-reaching government via civil asset forfeiture. Civil asset forfeiture allows the government to permanently forfeit one’s possessions without criminal conviction or even a charge of wrongdoing. This conflicts with constitutional protections that no person “be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” It is with this ideal in mind that a bipartisan coalition of legislators and I have authored a bill reforming civil asset forfeiture in Wisconsin. This practice of pursuing property absent a criminal conviction gained traction in the late 20th century and is rife with abuse around the country. Under this process, the state brings civil action against an inanimate object suspected of being tied to a crime (see State v. One 2013, Toyota Corolla, a real case, where the state charged a car with apparent wrongdoing). A recent report by the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice found serious issues with the federal asset forfeiture program and various state programs. Efforts to fix these abuses at the federal level are being led by Wis. Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner. Reform efforts are supported by some of the most ideologically opposed institutions in the country from the liberal American Civil Liberties Union to the conservative Heritage Foundation. Recently, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas opined about civil asset forfeiture: “I am skeptical that this historical practice is capable of sustaining, as a constitutional matter, the contours of modern practice . . .” Justice Thomas’ remarks make clear that Wisconsin’s civil asset forfeiture laws must be reformed or face judicial review. ‘Policing for profit?’ In Wisconsin, innocent people have had their property tied up for years, at times spending thousands of dollars fighting for its return without success. These abuses do not only apply to property seized during criminal investigations by traditional law enforcement, but also by agencies like the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that have the authority to take your boat, car, fishing equipment or hunting rifle without conviction. In fact, many of the government agencies that use civil asset forfeiture do so in direct evasion of the spirit of the Wisconsin Constitution and potentially state statutes. The Wisconsin Constitution states, “all moneys SEE GUILTY, PAGE 5

Fussing and ﬁghting over what? BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

“Try to see it my way. Do I have to keep on talking ‘til I can’t go on? While you see it your way, Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone. We can work it out. We can work it out” — lyric, “We Can Work It Out,” John Lennon and Paul McCartney In another sign that our lives are too easy, a survey released last week indicates that arguing over President Trump is leading to more breakups and divorces. Yes, this is a thing. Why would I From the Publisher’s make it up? According to a study by Wakefield Research, the current Desk American political environment is causing more stress in couples, particTom Stangl ularly among Millennials. Th The survey, conducted a month ago, found that 11 percent of Americans ending a relationship over political differences. Among Millennials, the rate is double – 22 percent. The current occupant of the White House is responsible for some tension at home. Arguments over President Trump are now topping fights over money in some households. Twenty-one percent of those surveyed who are married or in a relationship are having disagreements with their partner over their views on Trump. About the same percentage, 22 percent, know a couple whose marriage or relationship has been negatively impacted “specifically” due to the election of Trump. With Millennials, the rate rises to 35 percent. Wait, it gets worse. Since the election, 24 percent of Americans in a relationship are arguing and disagreeing more than ever before. And, you guessed it, the rate is higher among Millennials — 42 percent.

And, yes, some are even taking the disagreement to the next level. Among Americans who did not vote for Trump and who are not currently in a relationship with a partner who voted for Trump, 33 percent would consider divorce if they had a spouse that voted for the president — 43 percent among Millennials. The authors of the study report that Millennials are more idealistic and are at an age where major life decisions can be changed. While it is dangerous to speak in generalities, they are less likely to compromise their beliefs. Politics have been dividing people of all types since the first group of prehistoric people organized and the first leader decided where the group would live and hunt. I can imagine there were some spirited discussions concerning cave quality and hunting grounds. When John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote “We Can Work It Out,” they brought their two different viewpoints together to create, in my opinion, a timeless classic. The story goes that McCartney had the “optimistic” portion “we can work it out, we can work it out” and Lennon had the “negative” part “life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend.” As they did so many times in their career, they found a way to put it all together, with the help of George Harrison. I think we can all learn a lesson from that collaboration. Relationships are too important to allow something as divisive as politics to permanently interfere — or worse yet — break apart a loving relationship. We can work it out. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI. 54001.

A fence saga

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you, 5th Graders

I put in a fence during the last couple months, a first for me. Digging 24-inch-deep holes with a hand-held, eightinch long gardening shovel is a job. Digging 27 of them is practically a career. I’m grateful that about ¾ way down, it was native sand I was pulling out, not the root-laden top soil and rock long covered by years of organic (and some non-organic) material that continues to flow down the hill from the woods behind the house and into the yard - Mother Nature always trying to reclaim what is hers. I spent many long days digging Newbie in – sitting on the ground, my entire the North- arm eventually disappearing into the holes. One must dig a pretty big woods hole when going that deep, even for a mere two-inch diameter pole. The Lori Callahan time, however, was not wasted as I was engineering the entire project during those days in the grass, with many ideas discarded before the final plan. The gate was an issue. I didn’t have one. In the garage, yet to be totally cleaned out since moving here a year ago, was an old wooden baby crib painted white just as the house trim. I’d eyed it last year and knew some creative endeavor was there. Ah, but the muse works slowly sometimes. On a rainy day, when the outside work didn’t need more misery, I dismantled the crib, picked out numerous pieces, cleaned them up and brought them into the house. There’s something about making use of what one

To the Editor: We, the residents at Courtyard Square, would like to publicly thank the 5th grade class of Grantsburg Elementary School for the colorful candy-filled May baskets they brought us last week. It meant a lot to be remembered. It also brought back memories of the days when we were their age, “hanging May baskets” on doorknobs – then knocking, running and hiding to watch someone come to open the door and figure out who had been there. Shirley Medchill and Residents of Courtyard Square Grantsburg

Support Medicaid funding To the Editor: Medicaid is a safety net program designed to help our most vulnerable, and often most medically-fragile, citizens with access to necessary medical care. Last year, Burnett Medical Center treated more than 1,200 Medicaid patients in our Emergency Room, and we saw 4,000 more in our clinic and outpatient settings. The Wisconsin Medicaid program pays hospitals less than 65 percent of what it costs the hospital to provide that care. Legislators have acknowledged that these low Medicaid payment rates to hospitals are a problem in our state. That is why I am asking our state legislators to address hospital reimbursement in this biennial budget bill. In fact, this year Wisconsin’s Medicaid program is experiencing a $330 million surplus, but none of that is being returned to hospitals or other providers. For hospitals, below-cost reimbursements led to a “hidden health care tax,” which is passed on to others, including employers and employees. At Burnett Medical Center, we lost more than $804,000 providing care for Medicaid patients in 2016. Statewide, Wisconsin hospitals lost more than $1 billion caring for Medicaid patients. I ask that the state legislature begin to address the “hidden health care tax” by investing a minimum of $30 million of the surplus back into Medicaid payments, including the Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital program, mental health reimbursements, and rural and health care workforce initiatives. This modest investment, which amounts to less than 1/10th of the surplus, will help offset Wisconsin’s Medicaid reimbursement rates that are the 48th lowest in the country. I ask Senator Sheila Harsdorf and Representative Adam Jarchow to support and include this in the state budget to help cut the hidden health care tax. Gordy Lewis, CEO Burnett Medical Center

already has that appeals to me beyond the environmental and financial benefits. I don’t recall now from whom I heard it many times as a child, but “where there’s a will, there’s a way,” and I think the challenge lies there. I was hoping my neighbor would stop by with a power saw as I drew out my double-door gate design. No such luck, even following a text request. I have a couple small hand saws. I don’t know what they’re called, but I do know I’m not very good at using them, struggling with teeth catching and holding just when I think I have a good rhythm going. The last thing I tried to saw, I ended up breaking off the last bit of wood yet attached out of sheer frustration. Not very pretty. Completing the gate pieces left tools, sawdust, leftover crib parts and hardware strewn all over the kitchen and it made me smile – how many envious husbands?! Assembly: After two lousy nailing attempts – I’m challenged there, too – I opted for screws and dug out my very old, single-speed Handi Works drill, the same one still marked with my “F” and “R” of nearly three decades ago lest I forget which position of the switch is forward and which is reverse. My former husband once showed me how to size the bit to the screw, holding them side-by-side and matching the bit to the screw shaft, not the threads. That little piece of knowledge felt like insider information. It was all I knew about drilling holes for screws. I knew there was so much more I was not privy to. A girl-child of the 60s and 70s, I was delegated to Home Economics Class, not shop, and quite frankly, I learned little there as well, due to complete disinterest. I can sew on a button. Cooking is optional. (To be continued)

GUILTY: until proven innocent? That’s not right. GUEST EDITORIAL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

Time for reform and the clear proceeds of all property that may accrue to the state by forfeiture” be directed to the Common School Fund. The framers clearly intended that forfeiture funds not be kept by the seizing authority to prevent “policing for profit” scenarios. State law allows agencies to keep some proceeds covering forfeiture expenses, such as: administrative expenses of seizure, maintenance of custody, advertising and court costs and the costs of investigation and prosecution reasonably incurred. Without proper oversight, this practice will continue growing out of control. Some agencies have publicly claimed to use these funds to purchase K9 squad cars, protective equipment, drug education programs and surveillance technology – acquisitions outside of what state law allows these funds to be used for. These are important tools for law enforcement, but funding such programs should be done by elected policy makers consistent with the supreme law of Wisconsin – the Constitution, not by municipal law enforcement heads.

EARLY DEADLINE Due to the Memorial Day holiday the deadline for our May 31 edition is Friday, May 26 at Noon

It is time for Wisconsin to join the growing list of states that have reformed their civil asset forfeiture laws to protect a free citizenry from unjustly having their property forfeited. Our Wisconsin legislation accomplishes this by: • Requiring that all forfeitures be accompanied by a criminal conviction. • Items forfeited have a clear and convincing connection to the crime. • Forfeitures are proportional to the crime committed. These common sense reforms are being embraced across the country in bipartisan fashion. The Legislature should act to correct this abusive practice and ensure that the ideal of “innocent until proven guilty” is the law and practice here in Wisconsin. The Legislature should pass SB 61. Please call or email your state Senator Sheila Harsdorf and Representative Adam Jarchow or Nick Millroy to request their support for this important legislation.

ADDICTION: Mark Stoner shares his story and journey to recovery CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

to hard drugs through gang affiliations in the Midwest and California. He began ‘snorting glass’ until 2004 when he discovered the instant rush provided by smoking meth. He then smoked the drug steadily until 2013. Addiction slowly grows and molds a person’s personality to that of a dependent—a being whose existence revolves around indulgence into an alternate reality, one which is nearbabout inescapable. And, as it is on many occasions, addiction weds itself to criminal activity which, in-turn, flips morals and turns the code 180 degrees taking the dependent on a blacked-out journey delineated of sensibility. For 28 years, Stoner led the life of a user and didn’t look back. “I was in that lifestyle. I just kept doing it,” he said.

The turning point We all know the stories and have seen the pictures of individual’s strung out and physically aged by the lashes of these drugs. During that time, Stoner racked up several OWIs, multiple stab wounds and fractured many relationships, including the relationships between him and his six children. However, the most shocking part of his story is his recovery. “I got in a fight with a bunch of guys at a gas station. Some bats were pulled out. Some guns were pulled out. I got hit in the face with a bat. I got a bat too and racked a few guys. But, I couldn’t go to the emergency room, you know, because they were going there. So, the only place I knew where I could go hideout was on the reservation. So, I went to my mother’s house because I felt safe there. And, being Native American, I went down to the lake and threw some tobacco in the water and prayed to the Creator. “I asked, ‘Who am I? What am I doing? I know I don’t know who I am. I don’t like who I am. I don’t know if I’m supposed to die or if I’m supposed to live. But, all I do know is that I don’t want to live this way anymore.’” Stoner said he asked the Creator to

show him a sign to prove his life is worth living. He continued, “When I turned around, there was a big golden eagle feather laying at my feet. I bent over, picked it up, and I held it over my head. I could feel all the drugs, all the anger, all the pain come up from my toes to my stomach. I got sick, but I still held that feather in

“This is a self-portrait of myself the last time I was high on meth.”

the air. And, I felt it all leave me. I felt instantly sober, happy. I wasn’t angry anymore. I knew who I was: Jingogaboo.” Jingogaboo, Stoner’s Native name, translates to “tall swaying pine tree in the wind.” However, that night he received his 6th OWI and soon began a three-year prison sentence. The mental battle Though Stoner did not abandon his epiphany-like moment, he said, “I didn’t try to fight it. I went in front of the judge and told him that I’m not trying to get out of it. I just want to move on with my life. I want to live clean and sober. I don’t care what I have to do. If you have to send me

to prison, well, then, send me to prison. Do whatever. I’m happy with it.” He served his sentence in Dodge, New Lisbon, and Chippewa Falls. During his time in prison, Stoner took advantage of classes such as Cognitive Thinking because, according to him, “I knew the only way I could change my life was by changing everything about myself. I took every program I could take.” With six months remaining in his sentence, he was released from prison and placed in the Burnett County Jail. Stoner explained that while he had his sights set on recovery and a rejuvenation of self, he could not escape the long-lasting effects of drug addiction, “After being in jail for a couple months, I could feel everything coming back—the criminal thinking, a relapse. I thought, I’ve done all the classes, but I still have to do this time.” Then he was offered drug court and released from jail. He stayed clean; however, when he was released he failed to “do anything drug court wanted me to do. I got arrested again and spent a couple more weeks in jail.” Relapse There was also a moment after leaving jail that Stoner became victim to routine. “I had one relapse when I first started drug court when I chewed on a baggie that had some residue on it —I didn’t get high, but rules are rules,” Stoner said. He reported his actions to the court. Stoner began to think harder about the effects drugs and criminal activity can have on a person. He knew he wanted to change but had not completely stepped out of his old life. Once he was back at home, he remained close with user friends. He would sit with them, chop lines, pass the bubble, but never indulge himself. “I felt okay. I wasn’t using.” Then, he realized something. “It’s what I call being on the fence of good and bad. I was on the bad side. And, when looking at my family life, even though I knew they loved me, I know they were thinking— when are you going to mess up?” He was back in drug court when, six months in, he decided he was going to get off the fence and back on the good side. “I chose not to hang around those friends anymore. I chose to not be around the drugs. Then, my life started to change for the better.” Stoner took a job at a deli in Hertel. He worked long hours for little pay in order to support his family and keep himself away from the temptation of drugs. Within six months, he was shaking the hand of Judge Kenneth Kutz and accepting his diploma from drug court.

“Clean and sober for four years. Loving life.”

“I looked around at my family, my kids, and thought—this is what I’ve missed for the past 28 years: being part of a family.”

Stoner’s Mission Stoner now is a Recovery Coordinator for St. Croix Tribal Center working with individuals who are living his past. “The tribe approached me one day and said, ‘If you can do it, anyone can’.” “Mino Bimaadiziwin,” Ojibwe for the good life, is his motto. Stoner helps individuals plan the first day out of jail because, “If you can stay clean that first day, then you have a chance.” He also believes in educating the community. If the public can switch the focus off the addictive substance and begin considering criminal thinking– the mindset of choosing wrong over right– we would better understand the workings of people who become addicts.

Hate the addiction “Hate the addiction, hate the drug— but never hate the person. If you do, you are just part of the problem,” he said. Stoner has also developed an approach for assisting former users, he calls it Recovery vs. Discovery. “I had to go back 28 years to when I was 17 or 18. But, some people never had anything. They grew up with it. It’s not about recovery for them; it’s about discovering a whole new life.” Mark Stoner has been clean for four years and travels the country touring other rehabilitation centers to discover how other parts of the country help people in their own communities. “I want to help addicts, alcoholics, and children. I want them to look at the spiral of my life.” Stoner lives in Hertel with his six-yearold daughter. “It’s a blessing and it’s all because I chose to live a different way.” Those who are struggling or know someone who is, Mark can be reached at 715-416-4001, or marsto@stcroixtribalcenter.com.

Pickleball – newest sports trend coming to Grantsburg

Wound Healing Center receives national award

AMERY—The Wound Healing Center of Amery Hospital & Clinic was recognized May 10 with a national award for clinical excellence. Leaders, physicians and clinicians from Amery Hospital & Clinic gathered to celebrate the Center of Distinction award given to Wound Healing Center by Healogics, the nation’s leading and largest wound care management company. The Wound Healing Center achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for 12 consecutive months, including patient satisfaction above 92 percent, and a wound-healing rate of at least 91 percent in less than 31 median days. Of 630 centers eligible for the Center of Distinction award, 334 achieved this honor in 2017.

Healogics Midwest Area Vice President Kim Kirschbaum said, “I am honored to be part of a great collaborative effort between Amery Hospital & Clinic, the Wound Healing Center and Healogics. We strive to provide high quality care using advanced practices. Together, we are able to heal patients that have been dealing with chronic wound problems for months, and sometimes even years. There is no greater reward than seeing a patient completely heal and get back to daily living.” The Wound Healing Center is a member of the Healogics network of nearly 800 centers, with access to benchmarking data and proven experience treating approximately 2.5 million chronic wounds.

GRANTSBURG—An introductory session to pickleball will be held from 4-6 p.m. on Sunday, June 25 at Grantsburg Elementary School. The name may sound unimpressive, but pickleball is not a game to be taken lightly. In fact, today it is the fastest growing sport in America. And, for good reason as it not only takes a lot of skill but is also a ton of fun. Although it has similarities to tennis and racquetball, it does not have the physical demands associated with those sports. But, don’t worry – you’ll get plenty of good, healthy exercise. The game is played on a court, either in a gym or outside on asphalt, that is 44 feet long x 20 feet wide. A net (36” high at ends, 34” in the center) divides the court in half. On each side there are two quadrants, each 15 feet long x 10 feet wide. In front of each quadrant and seven feet back from the net is the non-volley zone, also called the kitchen. Play is conducted utilizing a paddle a little larger than a Ping Pong paddle and a plastic ball about the size of a softball with holes in it, somewhat like a small whiffle ball. Two people, singles, or four people

(doubles) play up to 11 points, with points coming when the ball is not returned over the net or goes outside the boundary lines. One key rule is a player can’t hit the ball out of the air while standing in the kitchen area. That’s the basics of pickleball. Soon everyone will have a chance to learn more about this fast-paced, fun and competitive sport. Grantsburg Community Education recently received a grant from Polk-Burnett Electric sufficient to cover the costs of two nets, paddles and balls to play on two outside courts next to the Grantsburg Elementary School. John Hunt of Grantsburg, an avid fan and committed pickleball player, will be teaching the basics of pickleball through Community Education. Pickleball will be available for Grantsburg community members ages 16 years or older to play on Sundays this summer from 4-6 p.m. If you are interested, please register for pickleball with Grantsburg Community Education at www.gk12.net or by calling the Grantsburg Community Education office at 715-463-4701. Please register by Friday, June 16.

SIREN—The Burnett County Towns Association has moved up the date of its next meeting to 6:30 p.m. this evening, Thursday, May 18, to work toward an agreement to select one of eight proposals for a fiveyear ambulance service contract with North Memorial Ambulance Service. The association’s recommendation will need ratification by the majority of town and village boards before the end of June. The meeting was moved up one week, perhaps as a result of a meeting last week between the Towns Association and members of the St. Croix Tribal Council. Chairman Lewis Taylor told the association at its April 27 meeting that the tribe may be interested in providing housing for one of the ambulances and its crew, plus some financial support for the contract. The meeting is open to the public. This story was most recently covered on Page 1 of the May 3 Sentinel. Steve Briggs Sentinel

Cookies for Faith’s Lodge SIREN—Sisters and Siren High School National Honor Society (NHS) members Patty and Mandy Close of Siren recently completed their NHS community service project by making and presenting 13-dozen frozen cookie dough balls to Faith’s Lodge. Patty is a senior and Mandy is a junior. “We made the chocolate chip and peanut butter frozen cookie dough balls, which took about 10 hours,” Patty said. “NHS members each do individual projects or can have a partner, as we did. And, the whole NHS chapter does a big project each semester. “We had heard that Faith’s Lodge goes through a lot of cookie dough and we thought that we could help,” Patty added. Faith’s Lodge co-founders Mark and Susan Lacek assured the girls their efforts would be greatly appreciated by the families who visit the lodge.

Most of us can identify someone we know who struggles with a mental illness, whether it is a loved one or ourselves. We need to break down the stigma and recognize that everybody has good days and bad days. Some of us may just have more bad days. We need to be aware that there are multiple ways to deal with stress and there are many different reasons to cause someone to have a mental illness. Signs of a mental illness also come in many different forms: anger, tiredness, isolation, even euphoria (the feeling of intense excitement and happiness). The more we know, the better equipped we are to help ourselves or another person with their thoughts and feelings. One in five people will experience a mental health condition this year, 50 percent of the population will have a diagnosable mental illness in their lifetime, and 25 percent will develop a mental illness in their teen years. If you or someone you know is struggling with a mental illness, it is important to get screened. You can do a test at home by visiting MHAScreening. org. A diagnosis is not provided, but this is a tool that can help you or someone you know get started in the right direction. Being diagnosed can be a difficult process, but the earlier a mental illness is detected, the better the results are for the individual’s health. Burnett County has resources available for those in need. Burnett County has a 24-hour crisis line (888-636-6655) for those experiencing a severe crisis, individual and group counseling is offered through Aurora Community Counseling and Families First, as well as other counseling agencies in Burnett and bordering counties. For more information, contact the Burnett County Behavioral Health Department at 715-3497600. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

MAY 21-27 May 21-27 is the 43rd Annual National EMS Week In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week to celebrate EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation’s communities. Back then, EMS was a new profession and EMS practitioners had only just started to be recognized as a critical component of emergency medicine and the public health safety net. A lot has changed since then. EMS is now firmly established as an essential public function and a vital component of the medical care continuum. On any given day, EMS practitioners help save lives by responding to medical emergencies, including heart attack, difficulty breathing, a fall or accident, drowning, cardiac arrest, stroke, drug overdose or acute illness. EMS may provide both basic and advanced medical care at the scene of an emergency and en route to a hospital. EMS practitioners care for their patients’ medical needs and show caring and compassion to their patients in their most difficult moments. With the development of mobile integrated healthcare and community paramedicine (MIH-CP), EMS is also increasingly a valued participant in achieving the nation’s overall healthcare goals of improved patient health and lowered costs.

1. How many ambulance services and EMTs are there in Wisconsin? As of January 2017, there are approximately 425 total ambulance services in Wisconsin who respond to emergency (911) calls and/or provide training, interfacility transfers, intercepts, or are satellite stations of other ambulance providers. In addition, there are currently 11 air medical providers (helicopters) in Wisconsin and 325 certified First Responder services – also known as Emergency Medical Responders (EMR). This brings the total to approximately 750 licensed or certified EMS organizations or services in Wisconsin. There are approximately 17,000 licensed EMS personnel; 2,900 certified First Responders, 7,300 EMT-Basics, 2,200 Intermediate Technicians – also known as Advanced EMTs (AEMT), 100 EMT-Intermediates and 4,500 Paramedics.

2. How many ambulance calls occur in Wisconsin each year? For the year 2011, there were 629,537 ambulance runs in Wisconsin. The number of runs entered into the state reporting system increased to 656,278 in 2012. In 2013 677,471 runs were reported. By 2014, the total number had peaked at 704,759. The run total fell to 646,289 in 2015.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

I am happy to report that we had no stray cats or dogs come into the shelter this week. Unfortunately, I also don’t have any adoptions to report on either. Maybe we will have better luck next week. Our featured pet is a very handsome five-year-old Golden Retriever. Cody came in as a stray a little over a week ago and has gone unclaimed by his owner, which is a real shock to us all because he is a super nice fellow. Cody sports a gorgeous, flowing, orange and gold coat with some nicely placed white markings. He weighs approximately 85 pounds, a nice-sized Cody needs a home fellow. In the play yard, he trotted around, happy as can be. He enjoyed a game of fetch with me and wasn’t obsessive about it. I didn’t get a chance to take Cody for a walk yet, but I’m told he pulls quite a bit on the leash. Personality-wise, Cody is a friendly, happy and social dog, with an independent nature – a real gem. His meeting with Gus, our yellow lab, went well. Cody pretty much ignored him. Cats are a question mark as he focused his attention a bit too intently on the one he met in the office. We can see Cody fitting into most any home environment with ease. Last week I promised to have a report on the earnings from the spaghetti supper fundraiser this week. It was a great success, with a whooping $5,000 raised to support the shelter cats and dogs. Winners of the raffle prizes were: Grand prize of $1,000 went to Sue Smedegan. Second prize of an IPad Mini went to Harry Regan; and third prize, the Casino stay and play, went to Vickie Main. Thanks to Clover Meadow Winery who supplied the food and wine and also prepared it. Space doesn’t allow to thank all of our wonderful volunteers who worked tirelessly. We would also like to thank all who bought raffle tickets, provided or bought silent auction items and those who attended the event. We couldn’t do it without all of our supporters.

Top 10 easy-to-forget things when hosting a party Let the party season – I mean summer season – begin! From May until September, people will attend graduation parties, weddings, bridal showers, birthday parties and more. When you add national holidays, it’s party central! Parties are fun, but for the hosts there is a lot to remember. Here are my top 10 things that are easy to forget. I learned the hard way. Plan – Plan, plan and plan some more. Spending time thinking about the party is the most important part Wild Chow of the process. This may be the least fun, but the most important. Then, Lisa Erickson write everything down. Prep – Prep as many things ahead of time as possible. I’ve been known to have things sitting in a corner for weeks before a party. Enlist – Enlist help. There is nothing worse than a crabby host who never gets a break. Delegate – Don’t be afraid to delegate which is close to enlisting help, but different. When I catered a wedding years ago, the bride and groom had asked a bunch of people to help, but because they didn’t give specific instructions, things began to disintegrate. Before long, the bride was in tears. After I suggested she needed to tell people exactly what she wanted them to do, she took the advice and the wedding was the lovely occasion it was meant to be. Finger food – Pick foods that people can eat with one hand, especially when seating is limited. It drives me crazy when I attend an event and the food requires a fork, but there are no tables. Drink in one hand, a plate in another – and a fork? People end up trying to balance food into some weird food pyramid – recipe for many food spills. Simple desserts – If you want people to actually eat the desserts, don’t make them too pretty. Many times I have made 50 beautifully decorated cupcakes and had 45 left over. Sheet cakes, on the other hand, will be devoured. Greeter – Have a door greeter. People will feel welcome and willing to engage if they are personally greeted and are introduced to guests they don’t know. Parking – Make sure people know where to park (not in your neighbor’s driveway). Put up signs. Mail or email parking directions. Enlist a parking attendant. Do whatever you have to to keep your neighbors happy in the process.

Metro Creative

Clean up – Plan for clean up time. Just because the party ends doesn’t mean you’re done. When I started catering, I forgot to add clean up time to the bill and lost money. Remember, it always takes longer than you think and ask for help! Thank yous – Send thank you notes. I’m not old fashioned. Thank you notes make huge impressions. Many people these days would rather text, snap or tweet – marginal, at best. A few years ago, we attended a graduation party for our neighbor’s daughter. She sent us the most beautiful thank you note telling us how much she appreciated us and expressed the impact we’ve had on her life. I still read it from time to time. I’ve yet to do that with a text.

109-year-old enjoys bingo and her beloved Chicago Cubs WALWORTH, WIS. (AP) — One of the oldest people in Wisconsin just happens to be a Chicago Cubs fan. Besides last year’s win, Hazel Schuth was living the last time the Cubs won a World Series in 1908. WISN-TV says Schuth was born in in Chicago in 1907, later moved to Lake Ge-

neva and eventually to Golden Years senior care facility in Walworth where she enjoys bingo, participates in prayer services and is always on time for 5 o’clock supper. Schuth says she also likes to “sit around and do nothing.” With Mother’s Day this month, daughter Maureen Darling says she’s grateful for her mom’s longevity. Hazel will be 110 in July.

NEWSLINE Deputy: Milwaukee woman suspected of DUI had boy steer car

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Authorities say a 37-year-old Milwaukee woman arrested on suspicion of her third DUI had an 8-year-old boy on her lap steering the car. A Milwaukee County sheriff’s deputy saw the car entering an on-ramp on Thursday afternoon with a child seated on the driver’s lap and steering the car. The deputy stopped the car and saw that the boy was crying. He told the deputy that he did not want to go jail. The sheriff’s office says the driver refused to cooperate with the deputy until the deputy’s supervisor arrived. Authorities say the woman was visibly impaired and failed field sobriety tests. The woman was arrested and jailed, with charges pending. The child was turned over to Child Protective Services.

We had several personal records, which is what we are focusing on at this point.” Coach Kim Hallberg added, “We were thankful to get another meet in before conference to try to iron out some flaws. “Some of our athletes had amazing progress! We are looking forward to our conference meet!”

Tigers trim Saints; remain undefeated in conference BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ST. CROIX FALLS—The Webster Tigers remain undefeated in conference play as they beat the St. Croix Falls Saints 8-2 last Tuesday at St. Croix. When asked if the boys were feeling some pressure regarding being undefeated, coach Washburn said, “We’re a pretty loose group of players. We talked at the beginning of the season as to where we wanted to be and this is where it is. We still have a lot of work to do before the playoffs come.” The Tigers got a run in the first inning when Jack Washburn got on via a fielder’s choice. He stole second and then third and scored on a walk by the Saints pitcher. Three more runs came in for Webster in the third inning. Trevor Gustafson got on via an error. Trenton Wols walked and Washburn got on via a fielder’s choice. A single by Hunter Gustafson brought home two runs and then Brad Sigfrids followed with a single and another run. Meanwhile, Tiger pitcher Jordy Larson was keeping the Saints off the base

Pirate bats cooled by TL/C BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

TURTLE LAKE—“Our defense was awesome,” praised Grantsburg assistant coach Steve Johnson, following the 1-0 Pirate loss to Turtle Lake/Clayton. “I was extremely surprised that we couldn’t get any runs. The credit must go to the TL/C pitcher. Who knows why some days we hit and some days we don’t.” MacKenna Johnson had a single in the first inning and Maddie Duncan had one in the second. Inning three was quiet for the Pirates. Jordyn McKenzie singled in the fourth and Duncan doubled in the fifth inning. The sixth went one-two-three. McKenzie got on via a walk in the seventh, but was erased on a fielder’s choice. Meanwhile, Rylee Hoffman was pitching well for Grantsburg. She had onetwo-three innings in the first, second, fourth and fifth. In the fourth, a single and a walk put two runners on base for TL/C, but a strikeout stopped the threat. A sin-

gle and a stolen base had a runner on second base in the sixth inning, but Hoffman ended the inning by getting a strikeout. Two singles and a wild pitch put the winning run on third base in the bottom of the seventh. After a pitching change, the next batter hit a single which won the game for TL/C. Hoffman gave up four hits, walked one and struck out four. “Until tonight, we were in the driver’s seat,” continued coach Johnson. “Now, we are joined by another team. We each have one loss in conference play and we each hold our own destiny. We will soon find out if we are good enough to share a title.”

SUBSEQUENT GAMES The Pirates swept the Webster/Siren Storm on Thursday by scores of 18-3 and 17-0. At the Gilman tournament on Saturday, the Pirates were 1-2. Grantsburg defeated Chequamegon 6-5, but fell to Marathon 11-4 and Stevens Point Pacelli 15-2.

ST. CROIX FALLS—The Webster-Siren golfers not only have been involved with Lakeland Conference participation, but they also have been in two tournaments. At the regular conference meet at St. Croix Falls, Webster-Siren tied for fourth along with St. Croix Falls and Clear Lake. Brett Johnson shot a 43 and Carter Doriott shot a 45 with Andrew Ruiz right behind at 46 and Katelyn

Tegarden with a 57. Grantsburg was third in the match with Jared Lee scoring a 40, Joey Duncan a 44, and both Austin Bowman and Justin Patterson carding a 51. At the Whitetail Tournament in Colfax, Webster-Siren was seventh. Brett Johnson had a 90 with Carter Doriott and Andrew Ruiz both carding a 94 and Katelyn Tegarden a 112. On May 12 at the Birchwood Tournament, the team placed third. Doriott and Ruiz tied at 94 with Johnson making a

99 and Tegarden a 114. “The kids golfed extremely well in Colfax against some really great competition,” said coach Mat Wood. “We shot a season low 390 in 18 holes.” “Carter, Brett, and Andrew continue to golf extremely well, improving every match. We are a lot more consistent than we were last season. Daniel Ingells has improved tremendously over the last few weeks. He shot a record low 53 on nine holes at Birchwood. This is an improvement of roughly

HINCKLEY—Both the Siren Dragon boys and girls track teams placed fifth at the Hinckley-Finlayson Invitational Track Meet last Thursday. In front of the boys were Barnum, Mora, East Central and Rush City, with host Hinckley-Finlayson coming behind the Dragons. For the girls, East Central took first place honors with Rush City, Barnum, Mora Siren and Hinckley-Finlayson following them. “Kind of an off day for us,” said Siren coach Wayne Koball. Tanner Lee “We have stumbled a bit, but we will rise and be fine. We are a small team, and missing kids causes a big ripple effect, but we are a team with a heart, and we all stepped up to the challenge.” Tanner Lee took first in the discus and second in the shot put. Gavyn Anton placed third in the shot. Noah Koball was fourth in both the discus and shot. The 4x200 and 4x100 meter relay teams each took fifth. The coach continued, “In every meet, we look for those things that are the essence of what it means to be a team. I saw it in all its glory last night. “We had a few people not available last night, so we moved some athletes around, and pulled some alter-

nates into our relays. Gavyn (Anton) and Brennan (Koball) are throwers, and don’t often run relays, but they stepped up for the team and did what needed to be done. They showed the essence of teamwork. “In addition, after a missed handoff, Derek Highstrom grabbed the baton, off the ground, CLEARLY out of the race, and ran it to his brother Dolan, and they finished the race. We were WELL out of the running, but we finished. It was a classy move on all their parts, showing what it means to be a team and to step up the challenges.” On the girls side, Paetyn McKnight was second in the 100 meter dash. The 4x200 meter relay took took third. Julia Horstman was third in the 400 meter dash and the triple jump. Abby Kosloski was third in the high jump. Fourth placements went to the 4x100 meter relay team, Rylee O’Brien in the 800-meter run, Paetyn McKnight Alexa Buskirk in the 200-meter dash, Julia Cederberg in the discus, and also the 4x400 meter relay team. “Our throwers continue to do well, and Jade is putting effort into her 400 meter. Rylee is always learning and improving. “We have had a tough spring, but we are Dragons and we will do our very best … always have and always will.”

30 strokes on his past nine-hole tournaments. Katelyn hopes she can break 50 this week. “Carter and Andrew were also three strokes away from making top five at the Birchwood meet. Hopefully, we continue to see improvement over the next few meets.” The Lakeland Conference Tournament is Thursday at Rice Lake with Regionals slated for May 23.

Grantsburg put five more across in their half of the fifth. A walk, three singles, an error and a triple proved to be too much for the Dragons to overcome. Both Sven Johnson and Luke Anderson had two hits in the game. Anderson and Jacob Barnard each tallied three RBIs. Barnard went the distance, giving up seven hits, walking two and striking out two. “Jacob did the job on the hill and kept walks to a minimum.

Lakers beat Pirates in nine BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—“We did a nice job to tie the game twice, sending it into extra innings,” said coach Pete Johnson after his team lost to the Shell Lake Lakers 9-6 on Saturday. The Lakers kept the Pirate bats in check until the sixth inning when Grantsburg scored five runs. With one out, Sven Johnson got on first via an error, Ricky Clark doubled followed by a single by David Nelson. Ramsey Clark reached base via an error. After an out, Austin Wedin and Luke Anderson both singled. Up to that point in the game, Shell Lake had scored three in their half of the second and two in the sixth. Thus, the game was knotted at five after the sixth inning. Both teams scored a run in their respective halves of the seventh. The Pirates got theirs by a walk for Jacob Barnard who subsequently stole both second and third bases. He scored on a single by Ramsey Clark. Neither team scored in the eighth inning. Shell Lake then put three tallies on the board in the top of the ninth. A walk, a hit batsman, a triple, a sacrifice and a double put the runners across the plate. In the Pirate’s half of the inning, Johnson got on via an error, but then two strikeouts and a flyout ended the inning and the game. “Austin Wedin did a great job on the mound,” praised coach Johnson. Wedin came on in the third inning and went 6.1 innings. He gave up five hits, six runs, walked two and struckout two. Ramsey Clark had two hits in five plate appearances. Grantsburg, after playing Webster on Tuesday, will

see Shell Lake again on Thursday and will play a make up game vs Luck/Frederic on Friday. Next Monday, Unity will come to Grantsburg for another make up game, and the final game of the regular season is at Chetek on Tuesday.

After the Lakers scored a run in the bottom of the first, Ricky Clark and Austin Casey shut the doors on the remaining batters. A Laker runner got as far as third base in the fifth inning, but Pirate pitching kept him there. The same thing happened in the sixth inning with the same result. “We played pretty solid and were able to take advantage of a couple plays,” said coach Johnson. The Pirates got a run in the top of the first when Austin Wedin and Luke Anderson both walked. Aus-

tin Casey got on via an error. Jacob Barnard grounded out with Wedin scoring. In inning two, Ricky Clark got on via an error. Two outs later, Wedin and Anderson both singled. Bryce Roufs got on via an error. Austin Casey singled and Barnard walked. The remaining three runs came across in the fifth when, with one out, Barnard singled, Sven Johnson doubled, and Ricky Clark walked.

Steering group considers county Boys & Girls Club BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—It will take a lot of time, planning, coordination and expense, but Siren may gain a Boys & Girls Club (BGC) in the building that once housed Fourwinds Grocery Story along Hwy. 35/70. Earlier this month, around 20 people gathered at the St. Croix Tribal Economic Development Corporation (EDC) office at the Southwinds Plaza for a preliminary meeting on the tribe’s interest in bringing a club to Siren as a community or multi-community project. Attending were tribal officials, some members of Burnett County town and village boards plus some supervisors from the Burnett County Board. They listened to a representative of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America describe the BGC history and purpose, its organizational, financial and reporting requirements, as well as suggestions for developing the former store into a club.

‘Bridge the gap’ St. Croix Tribal member Elmer Jay Emery, Jr. told the gathering, “We want to bridge the gap in the community and form a working relationship with each other.” He added that the meeting was a time for questions, discussion and to see if the idea “could fly” in Siren with the operation run by a board comprised of community members. BGC has stringent guidelines to qualify for club approval. BGC requires

hired staff including security, teachers, mentors, and requires financial and membership audits. It would be open to Burnett County youth ages 6 to 18 years of age, but it would not be a ‘drop-in” center. Youth must also make a commitment to attend regularly and stay involved. The hope is that arrangements could be made with one or more schools to have a BGC bus to transport member students directly to the club after school.

Tax exemption? The Siren group may seek tax-exempt status for the property. While the St. Croix Tribe owns the former grocery store property, it is not tribe-owned land. While tax exempt status would cause a tax-base loss for the village, others expressed the club’s benefits would outweigh the tax loss. Grants, both private and public, would be sought to help pay for remodeling the facility and dayto-day club operations. One concern the group will need to address is, “Do we have enough kids, and enough willing kids, to operate a club like this?” A survey will be developed to address that question among youth and their parents.

A positive setting This discussion comes at a time when Siren has seen a substantial increase in the number of crime cases its police department is handling every month. At the May 4 Siren Village Board meeting, the board approved adding another

police officer on a half-time (20 hours per week) basis. The hope is that more supervised activities after school and on weekends in a positive setting may help keep youth on the “straight and narrow” path toward success. The BGC rep said the BGC organization is flexible and allows local clubs to develop programming that fits their club’s needs, whether it is mentoring for homework, arts and crafts, field trips, classes, cultural events and groups, and sports. There was talk of possibly developing an open lot located behind nextdoor O’Reilly’s Auto Parts for a gymnasium. The nearest BGC to Siren is in Cumberland, with a visit in the offing to it and other area clubs.

Steering committee forming

A steering committee is forming to follow BGC guidelines while gathering information on club requirements and to gauge interest among youth, as a certain financial commitment and youth membership level must be attained and sustained in order to qualify for a club. The committee goal is to have representatives of the entire community, including tribe, county board, school board, churches, parents, law enforcement and youth. “This is an all-inclusive project that we want to move along,” Emery summarized. “The tribe is not in charge, but the needs of the community are.”

Rep. Milroy introduces ‘Save Our Deer’ act Proposal would provide greater safeguards against spread of Chronic Wasting Disease MADISON—On Wednesday, May 3, State Representatives Nick Milroy and Dana Wachs held a press conference to introduce the “Save Our Deer” Act. This proposal would help to prevent the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) from infected deer farms in Wisconsin. CWD is a highly contagious, extremely resistant disease with no known cure that affects an increasing number of deer in Wisconsin every year. “CWD has been a significant problem for over a decade now, but Governor Walker and the Republicans in the Legislature have done little to combat it,” said Rep. Wachs. “While other states like Michigan and Missouri are increasing tests for CWD, the number of tests conducted in Wisconsin has decreased significantly since 2010. Deer hunting is an important tradition in Wisconsin and it contributes over one billion dollars to our economy each year. We must do what we can to ensure that this tradition continues.” According to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection, there are 387 deer farms in Wisconsin. Since 2001, 15 farms have tested positive for CWD. If passed, the “Save Our Deer” Act will prevent the spread of CWD from infected farms in a number of ways: • Requires that all deer farms have electronic monitoring systems that indicate when gates are open

• Requires fencing for non-white-tail deer farms • Mandates that fences be inspected every two years • Requires all deer farms that have CWD to comply with new standards, including double-fencing or electric fencing “We owe it to the people of Wisconsin, not just hunters, to do everything we can to slow the spread of CWD,” added Rep. Milroy. “Hunting is a time-honored tradition and a major industry in Wisconsin. Without a healthy deer herd, our hunting heritage and economy are in jeopardy. While there is much to learn about CWD, we know we can slow its spread. Creating additional safeguards at deer farms will give us an extra layer of protection.”

Gary Nelson

No. Your insurance policy covers your property. She should obtain a renter’s policy to cover her personal property. She probably has a fair amount of clothing, furniture, and other valuable personal belongings that she needs to protect in the event of a fire or theft. Don’t ever “assume” your insurance policy covers items – even some of your own. When you can, consult with your insurance agent to be sure. Being safe is far better than being sorry and don’t forget, that engagement ring needs to be covered as special personal property in order to give you the value of protection that you deserve. Always consult with your agent rather than simply sitting and wondering.

should take. Just as you would update your resume, you may need to do the same to your social media sites. Pages like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can easily be searched by potential employers. If an employer finds your profile, you want them to see the professional and driven person you are, not the fun you had on your weekends in college. You can fine-tune your pages to promote yourself and your skills to interviewers and recruiters. Another great way to use social networking to your advantage is LinkedIn, a site where you can upload your resume, discover companies, and network with people in your industry. It’s also a site where employers can find you based on your resume and keywords. No matter how you use social media, make sure to use it to your advantage to give yourself an edge in a competitive job market! expresspros.com/saintcroixfallswi 125 North Washington St. Suite C1 St. Croix Falls • 715-483-2541

Collecting specimens A group of naturalists, taxidermists and curators from Milwaukee recently spent 40 days on a trip down the St. Croix River, collecting specimens of 8,000 insects, birds, reptiles, flora and fish. Sadly, what impressed them most on the trip was “the great waste of timber going on at present and which is shown to have taken place in the past.” The men described the area as “cut over, a picture of desolation and neglect. The early woodsman took no pains to put the land into condition to encourage another growth.” They said millions of feet of water-soaked logs were at the bottom of the river and much more was left half-submerged (deadheads). “All along the banks were left great logs for destruction by decay and insects. Harvesting the deadheads will be carried on for many years.” Journal of Burnett County, Oct. 21, 1909

May is tavern month MADISON—May is Tavern Month and, once again, the members of the Tavern League of Wisconsin want to remind Wisconsinites of a tradition unique to our state, the local tavern. For decades the local tavern has served as a gathering place to join friends and family to celebrate a special occasion, support a local sports team or to raise money for a worthy cause. This tradition proudly continues. Members of the Tavern League of Wisconsin are proud to report its members donated over $13 million to over 27,000 charities last year. “Our members take the responsibility of supporting local charities very seriously and come through year after year,” said TLW President Terry Harvath. The economic impact of the On Premise industry is significant. Over 120,000 jobs are supported by the On Premise sector, paying over $2 billion in wages and having an economic impact of over $5 billion. So, take some time during May Tavern Month to enjoy the hospitality of a Wisconsin tavern, and when you do, insist on patronizing a Tavern League of Wisconsin member establishment. Whether providing jobs, supporting local charities or paying taxes, we truly are “Friends and Neighbors Helping Friends and Neighbors.” Chuck Anderson, owner of The 10th Hole Bar and Grill in Danbury, is the president of the Burnett County Tavern League.

County visitor spending up 5.5 percent Wisconsin Tourism sees $700 million jump in 2016 BURNETT COUNTY—Visitors to Burnett County in 2016 spent 5.5 percent more in 2016 tourism dollars than the previous year, says the Burnett County Tourism Coalition (BCTC). Burnett County saw the largest 2015-16 percentage increase of all the surrounding counties. Revenue growth from 2015 to 2016 continued for neighboring counties as well. “Tourism plays a critical role in our county and continues to grow. From an economic standpoint, the numbers reflect that,” said BCTC President Larry Main. “Last year’s numbers are very encouraging. In fact, the numbers from the previous three years show continued growth.” Just four years ago, tourism was on the decline for Burnett County. That decline spurred the creation of BCTC. The board and membership, comprised of volunteers, has worked diligently to promote the county as a tourism destination to the region. Initiatives include a new, tourism-focused website (BurnettCountyFun.com), the creation and management of several social media platforms and regional newspaper and magazine advertising. “Our mission to grow tourism in Burnett County is being realized,” added Main. “We are working to support all of the great businesses and organizations that make our area the perfect place for both residents and visitors.” Statewide, traveler spending generated $1.5 billion in state and local revenue and $1.1 billion in federal taxes. For the travelers that helped Wisconsin achieve a $700 million increase in tourism economic impact in 2016, it’s all about the fun and memories. For the state’s tourism industry, it’s big business. And, for taxpayers and residents, it’s all about jobs and tax revenue those travelers generate. A study conducted by Tourism Economics shows the impact of tourism on the state’s economy reached $20 billion in 2016, an increase of 3.5 percent from the previous year. “Traveler spending has grown an average of 4.5

percent per year since 2011,” said Wisconsin Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett. “It’s a tremendous credit to the tourism industry in all 72 counties and the work they do to create fun vacation experiences, market their destinations and provide great customer service that makes travelers want to return to Wisconsin each year.” Tourism continues to be one of Wisconsin’s most important economic resources. Research shows that tourism advertising goes beyond just promoting vacations. It also positively influences the state’s overall image as a great place to live, find a job or open a business. Klett added, “These results also let us know what we are doing is working and that investing in tourism not only benefits the economy, it also influences the way people think about Wisconsin.” The Department of Tourism worked with a national research firm, Tourism Economics and Longwoods International, to produce the reports.

SIREN— Dakota R. Dawson, 18, Siren, faces criminal charges after a violent act was carried out against a minor on April 29. Dawson faces three separate counts of substantial battery, physical abuse of a child, and disorderly conduct with use of a dangerous weapon. According to the criminal complaint, Burnett County officials responded to a call from the Burnett Medical Center about a minor with a large laceration on his back. The incident occurred in the garage of the home of Dawson. Dawson, his juvenile brother, and juvenile friend were drinking alcoholic beverages when an argument broke out between the brothers. Dawson allegedly “starting making fun of [younger brother’s] ex-girlfriend who was African American...[Dawson] started using racial slurs.” The brothers then engaged in a physical altercation until the unrelated juvenile stepped between the brothers. At this point, the younger brother stated his head was hurting and “ran to the back of the property.” The complaint states the unrelated juvenile thought Dawson would continue to assault the younger brother so he did not let him pass. Dakota then allegedly struck the juvenile who, in return, struck him back. Then, according to the complaint, the unrelated juvenile, “stated he felt a jab in his back that caused pain...but did not know what Dakota had in his hands.” The unrelated juvenile then ran from Dawson calling out for his friend and while doing so, “stated he felt something running down his back and reached back and his hand was covered in blood.” The unrelated juvenile told officials, “he did not know what Dawson stabbed him with, but knew he had a crowbar in his hands at one point.”

Dakota R. Dawson

According to the complaint, the laceration on the unrelated juvenile’s back was on the left side near the spine. The boy received two to three internal stitches and six external stitches. After interviewing both juveniles at the Burnett Medical Center, the officials arrived at Dawson’s residence at approximately 5:14 a.m. and placed Dawson in custody. The complaint reads, “Dawson stated he took his pocket knife out of his right pocket, swung and hit [the unrelated juvenile].” Dawson claims to have had no intention of causing injury, that he was “acting in self defense.” According to the complaint, Dawson “apologized many times” to the victim and even helped with bandaging. Dawson’s initial court appearance will take place at 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 24 at the Burnett County Government Center.

Hanging in there â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the Vine, you are branches. Those who abide in Me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from Me you can do nothingâ&#x20AC;? John 15:5. Life can become a disaster in the blink of an eye. I received news of a train/school bus collision which killed the senior high school daughter of a family in North Dakota. Her father grew up in a congregation I served in the 1980s. I had instructed him and presided Pastor Douglas K. Olson at his confirmation of faith in God. I wrote Yellow Lake Lutheran Church him a letter of encouragement.

Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gospel wants us to hear that we are not alone bearing the weight of what is broken in our lives. God has raised Jesus from His suffering and death for our sake out of love to be our True Vine (source of life). In this life, God is with us in Jesus, our Vine, who made all of us His branches. In the midst of the breakdown in the fabric of our lives, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risen Son Jesus abides in us and pulls us into abiding with Him. I received a letter back from my friend in North Dakota. He writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember canoe trips and camping, burnt pancakes, Sunday
