CHOO CHOO: Big Boy 4014 rolls through Pine City and Baldwin P6

Driver’s BAC was almost twice legal limit JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Gov. Tony Evers declared a state of emergency last week following the first round of storm. He also activated the National Guard to help in the areas

The driver from an accident in April attempted to flee police down a highspeed chase eastbound on Highway 35/70 had a blood alcohol concentration almost twice the legal limit. Michael D. Friel, 61 of Finlayson, Minn. led authorities on the chase where he allegedly was driving in excess of 90 mph. He eventually drove over the roundabout in Siren and crashed on the opposite side. Friel was transported to a Minnesota hospital and died seven days later. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner autopsy report said the cause of death was an accident due to complications from injuries sustained in a single motor vehicle crash. The Wisconsin Department of Justice office did return the toxicology report of Friel. His blood alcohol concentration results came back at .136. The legal limit is .08 and with Friel almost doubling that, he was initially charged with driving while intoxicated. Those charges were dropped following Friel’s death. The Wisconsin State Patrol also reconstructed the accident. Sybers said the reconstruction confirmed to Siren PD what they believed happened. The Hennepin County Medical

One family farm was struck hard by the storm Sunday evening. Their roof was torn off of their home, their barn ripped to pieces, and their silos just barely still standing. See more storm photos on page 14.

Luck hit hard by storm The National Weather service confirmed on Monday that it was a tornado that went through Luck on Sunday night. According to the National Weather Service, the EF1 tornado touched down for 5 miles

with 90 mph winds. Polk County was still cleaning up from last week’s storm when another came rolling through the area. Polk-Burnett Electric Co-op said the storm left about 3,000 residents with-

out power. By Monday afternoon the number of co-op members without power had gotten down to 18. Those members were mostly in the Luck/ Bone Lake region of Polk County.

ACCIDENT: Cause of death was an accident from injuries sustained in vehicle crash, autopsy report states

ART: Exhibitions coming to Gandy Dancer Days

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Examiner’s report outlines a cause of death hierarchy starting with the immediate cause of death which was due to a stroke Friel had at the hospital. It continues to state Friel had respiratory and circulatory complications, fractured ribs and the single-vehicle pickup truck accident all contributed to his death. According to the police report, Siren police officer Aaron Bentley saw a red 2000 Dodge Dakota speeding through Crooked Lake Park April 5 at 4:36 p.m. Bentley turned on his emergency lights and pulled the truck over north of the park on State Road 35/70. Bentley noted both occupants of the truck were not wearing their seat belts. David Friel was driving and Jason Friel, 27, Webster, was in the passenger seat. When asked to provide identification both Jason and David allegedly said they did not have any ID on them and Bentley continued to write down their information. David initially said his name was Ron Friel while Bentley was standing outside of the passenger side door. Bentley asked if they had been drinking, and both allegedly said no. “Both occupants’ body behavior indicated they were more than likely lying to me,” Bentley’s report states. He added that he could smell intoxicants coming from the vehicle. Dashcam video from Bentley’s patrol car shows Bentley walking to the rear of the truck when the brake lights turned on and the truck sped away at approximately 4:40 p.m. Bentley called in the attempt to flee and began following the truck northbound on 35/70. He caught up with the vehicle going approximately 95 mph. The truck attempted to “brake check” the officer near the intersection of Woodland Estates Drive. In the video, there is a large amount of smoke coming from the passenger side tires. The truck then sped up to about 90 mph as the chase continued. St. Croix Tribal Police assisted on the call and were able to pull a squad car into the turn lane by Fourwinds Market. David swerved to avoid the car and continued driving toward the roundabout. He struck the curb and was driving on the grassy median before turning suddenly and narrowly missing a light pole.

the May Webster Arts & Crafts Show, exhibits in local galleries and businesses such as Arts In Hand Gallery in Spooner, Adventures Restaurant in Siren, the Hudson Hospital in Hudson, and Crex Meadows Wildlife Center in Grantsburg. “I’ll start with an original sketch, then work in artisan oils,” says Springett. “I’ll be painting on a 9” x 12” canvas.” At 3 p.m., he’ll draw a name out of a hat and the winner will receive the painting, signed, authenticated and custom framed, ready to hang. From noon to 4 p.m. in the concession pavilion at the ball field next to the Webster Senior Center, Minneapolis-based Christopher Lutter-Gardella will conduct a free half-day art camp for kids, “Bumblebee Buzz.” Gardella is a designer, sculptor, and community educator whose work focuses on the construction and performance of puppets, masks, props, costumes, and theatrical inventions. He's also the director of Puppet Farm Arts, his nonprofit community-arts organization. Here in Webster, he’s known for designing and leading the Jordan Buck community art project (2014), working with Northwest Passage/In a new Light as an artist-in-residence, and helping Webster High School students create a school of sunfish puppets for Webster’s centennial celebration (2016). His signature is creating sculptures primarily from industrial and commercial waste materials like coax cable, plastic bottles, wire hangers, and foam board signs. Gardella invites kids to “come help us transform a useless pile of trash into a beautiful bumblebee swarm. With plastic bottles, wire hangers, waste shrink wrap and paper, we’ll make magical luminous bumblebee puppets and big beautiful blooming flowers as we celebrate the influence of bees in our world.” Participants will take home their creations. There is no admission charge for any of the arts events. To view the entire Gandy Dancer Days schedule, visit websterwisconsin.com.

roundabout in Siren. The truck then struck the curb of the roundabout and went straight over the middle of the roundabout. It came to a stop, and that is when Bentley noticed the truck’s front end was collapsed with smoke coming from it. Bentley said he could hear the engine revving and assumed the driver was attempting to accelerate. At 4:42 p.m. Bentley pulled up to the front of the truck, exited his car, and asked David if he was drunk, and David allegedly responded yes. Two trauma nurses arrived on the scene and were trying to assist with David’s injuries when he became belligerent and continued to resist. Bentley had double-cuffed David to give him extra room because

he did not know the extent of his potential injuries. David was airlifted to North Memorial in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office notified Siren PD that he was pronounced dead seven days later at 12:55 p.m. April 12. Jason Friel was checked out by the North Memorial Ambulance crew and was slightly injured but was still able to fill out a statement. In the statement, Jason admits he and David were coming from a bar in Frederic and were headed to another bar. “Cop was asking for ID, then David took off,” Jason wrote. The statement concluded with Jason saying during the chase he put his seat belt on and “thought I might die in the chase.”

Speak softly and carry a large debt

eorge Carlin is my favorite comedian of all time. If I could transcribe a George Carlin joke in this space 52 times a year, I would. In his famous joke “Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television” he recites the words in a splendid cadence. He also at one point says if those words are ever repeated we’ll lose the war. He doesn’t say which war. It’s just something said in America – a country that has existed for over 200 years and only 20 of them have been free of war. The war in Afghanistan will turn 18 years old in October. It’s like a little brother to me from a parent’s second marriage. By November that war will be able to vote. Will it choose Trump Sentinel or the democratic nominee? Or will it surprise us all and waste a Editor vote on a third-party candidate? Jonathan Richie The war will also be able to buy tobacco. Is that the route it will choose? If so, will the war smoke Marlboro or menthol or maybe the war will embrace it’s Gen Z roots and start vaping? When I was 18, I had a professor in college. He was a brilliant man on several topics and had spent 30-some years in the military. He taught our class on comparative politics. I cannot remember anything about the class besides what the room looked like, my final term paper on the French and Chinese revolutions and most of all the off-topic stories the professor would tell. He was a high-ranking military man who told us about top-secret missile tests. “That thing could go up, down, across and then stop for a cup of coffee and then hit the target the size of Lincoln’s face on the penny,” he would tell us about the testing of the cruise missile. One day we were talking about China and their faux-democracy. Our professor explained that our grandkids (this is in the spring of 2010) will need to know how to read, speak and translate Chinese. Why? Because we owe China over a trillion dollars. He also explained that the green wave or going green or thinking about everything in terms of the environment – China is winning there too. He told us that China owns something like 90 percent of the mines that have the raw materials for making green or eco-friendly products. “Not only are we going to owe them money forever, it’ll reach the trillions, the United States is also falling behind on the new wave of production,” he told us in a very depressing speech. I say all this to make one point. The reason the United States owes China so much money and the reason we are in the hole so much (currently sitting over 22 trillion) is because of how much money the United States invests in defense and war. I respect the troops that have much more courage than me to fight in these wars. However, I believe the Pentagon needs a penny pincher and not someone who thinks money grows on trees in charge of the checkbook.

think it’s past time I did something this summer. The county fairs are ending, back to school is becoming a dreaded (or cherished) phrase and far too quickly we will be longing for sunshine. I have been spending some time outdoors, enjoying the sights and sounds of summer. Having the yard be lush and full with From the Publisher’s flowers and foliage makes it a perfect Desk respite and refuge at the end of the Tom Stangl day. Y i Young squirrels are learning where to play and find food, so are the young rabbits in the neighborhood. The simple act of seeing these animals never fails to bring a smile. On days when I don’t believe I have time to watch squirrels playing, I often remind myself that the sense of joy and calm this simple act brings is well worth the time. In past summers we have been visited by all manner of birds. A nesting pair of hawks in the neighborhood have significantly changed our ecosystem. From the screeching call of the birds to the feathers of some of their victims, the presence of the hawks has been

disturbing and an unwelcome change. This spring we were visited by all manner of finches, as well as a hummingbird. I fear the hawks have made our yard a less than welcoming place for these birds. I hope the pair move on before the fall. The extended visit last fall by a hummingbird was truly wonderful, even magical. I want that again. But my wife and I have discovered a different visitor that is just as magical, after you get to know him: a dragonfly. I’m not a big fan of insects in general, but I have grown to appreciate a dragonfly who has set up residence in the back yard. The dragonfly will perch on a shepherd’s hook that has a couple of hanging baskets suspended on it. When my wife told me about this particular dragonfly exhibiting this type of behavior, I will admit I found it a bit hard to believe. But after spending several evenings grilling supper near this shepherd’s hook where this dragonfly was perched, I admit my wife was correct that it was pretty cool. While initially being creeped out, my wife did some research on dragonflies and learned that they are pretty cool. In addition to being able to hover like hummingbirds, dragonflies hunt and eat a lot. They consume 10 percent to

15 percent of their own weight per day on insects such as mosquitoes, termites, deerflies, blackflies, horseflies and midges. One article I read said “They make welcome residents in the yard, as they’ll keep it far less buggy. Think of it as the insect equivalent of getting a cat to solve your mouse problem.” They are able to do this because more than 80 percent of their brain is used for processing visual information, and it is believed that some species can see objects up to 30 feet away and detect movement as far as 60 feet away. In almost every part of the world, the Dragonfly symbolizes change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realization. The change that is often referred to has its source in mental and emotional maturity and understanding the deeper meaning of life. Our little friend is very cool for a bug. Adult dragonflies only live for two months, so I’m going to enjoy his company while he’s around. I’m going to do the same with summer. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

With budget complete, a new hope Businesses favored for bipartisanship arises GOP with cash in SENATOR PATTY SCHACHTNER

As a former executive director of a chamber of commerce, I am no stranger to negotiation. Coming up with win-win solutions is the essence of good business and good governance. The latest debate over the state budget illustrates Patty what happens Schachtner when we don’t negotiate and let District 10 political posturSenator ing come before the needs of communities like ours. Proposals like Medicaid expansion, which is supported by 70 percent of Wisconsinites, become victim to political brinksmanship and partisan “wins.” In the legislature, I am emphasizing bipartisanship in crafting new, innovative approaches to tackle the challenges facing our communities. I started the

legislative session by authoring bipartisan legislation to provide funding to test privately-owned wells for harmful contaminants. I also worked with my Republican colleagues to co-author legislation to protect the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, which makes it easier for qualified, out-of-state physicians to work in Wisconsin. In divided government, it’s even more important to not only work across the aisle, but work with different levels and branches of government. That’s why I have made it a priority to engage the new administration and bring Madison to western Wisconsin. Since January, I have helped coordinate visits to the 10th Senate District from Governor Tony Evers, Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, Attorney General Josh Kaul, State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, Department of Workforce Development Secretary Caleb Frostman, Department of Health Services Secretary Andrea Palm, and Department of Transportation Secretary Craig Thompson. I have also worked with Attorney

General Josh Kaul, Sen. Robert Cowles (R-Green Bay), Rep. David Steffen (R-Green Bay), and Rep. Melissa Sargent (D-Madison) to introduce legislation creating a process for the collection and handling of sexual assault kits. In 2014, the Department of Justice discovered that nearly 7,000 sexual kits were untested. This legislation would help prevent another backlog from occurring and ensure that survivors know that their kits are processed efficiently and with care. Finger-pointing and posturing are nothing new in politics. However, we have the power to find common ground and put people before politics. It’s on all of us to reach out and reach back when the opportunity for positive change presents itself. State Senator Patty Schachtner represents Wisconsin’s tenth senate district. The district covers parts of Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix counties. Senator Schachtner may be reached at (608) – 266 – 7745 or Sen.Schachtner@legis.wisconsin.gov.

ﬁrst half of 2019 MADISON— A new analysis shows Wisconsin Republicans took in nearly five times as much in corporate contributions as Democrats during the first half of 2019. Government watchdog group Wisconsin Democracy Campaign released a report Tuesday that shows corporations gave a total of $321,910 to the state GOP, the Republican Assembly Campaign Committee and the Committee to Elect a Republican Senate between January and June. The state Democratic Party, Assembly Democratic Campaign Committee and the State Senate Democratic Committee took in $64,875 in corporate contributions during that span. The top contributor was Charter Communications, which gave $12,000 each to the Republican legislative committees and $4,000 each to the Democratic legislative committees.

Larry and LuAnn Ebersold took over Interfaith Caregivers earlier this year and will be submitted a quarterly column on the organization. Barb and Denny Blodgett had previously headed the group.

Interfaith Caregivers The past three months have allowed us to meet and make many new friends. Our ever-aging population requires we provide help to a growing number of people. People from Webster, Siren, Danbury, Hertel, Webb Lake and Grantsburg have contacted us daily. Even a portion of Shell Lake is in Burnett County. We have made phone contact over 500 times with people in the past 3 months. To review, Interfaith transports people needing rides to appointments, donates furniture to those whose houses have burned or are just in need of individual items and we orchestrate a Christmas for Kids program each winter. We provide wood to those unable to process their own. We have a gentleman, who, with his crew, builds wheelchair ramps for wheelchair bound people. We invite churches and other groups to contact us to give a short informative presentation on services we offer. Kudos to our incredible volunteers. We would not be able to provide the things we do without them. Larry and LuAnn Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County PO Box 676 Webster, WI 54893 715-866-4970 ifcgivers@gmail.com

Dear Editor, A few local farmers, some who operate dairy CAFOs, are concerned about the popular uprising against the MegaCAFO that is attempting to site in Trade Lake. They should not be. Truly there is a difference between a local family farm CAFO, whose owners have lived here for years, if not generations, and a corporation who forms a limited liability company to shield its assets and flies into a Burnett County meeting by helicopter. 240,000+ potential pigs is quite different from any CAFO in the area and nothing even imagined here before. When issues arise, you can call the family farmer and ask questions. If a MegaCAFO has issues, who are you going to call? In the past, local farmers raised their own feed and sold their products to the local market. Things change. In a global market, the MegaCAFO is likely to raise pork for the Asian market where Swine Ebola is devastating the swine herds. The World Hog Expo in Des Moines Iowa has even been canceled due to concerns over Swine Flu. These big Factory Hog Farms bring risks to the area’s water, air and possibly local

hog farms that are not found on generational family farms that depend on sustainability for future success. So how did we get here? Farm income and stability have been slowly undercut by cheap food grown elsewhere. Small family farms are barely profitable for many reasons, but lack of local markets is a big one. This means that more farmers quit farming every day and sell out to larger operations that are sometimes from out of town and are probably more concerned with profit than community. How do we turn this around? Shop local. Buy meat and veggies from places that are community based. Forget the Megastores. If you buy from local sustainable farmers they will be there when you need them. It’s up to all of us to protect our way of life; our air, our water, our livestock, our property and our families. Local family farmers are a big part of that picture. Keep your hard-earned money in the community where it will go around and round, financing local growth. Your support is the key to small family farm sustainability. When did you last shop at a local meat market, farmers market or roadside corn stand? Local grocers

and coops carry some locally sourced food as well. Ask for it. Access to quality fresh food is a privilege. Take advantage of it: find it, buy it, eat it or preserve it and enjoy it all winter long. Then there is reality. Can local family farms make a decent living selling produce to local markets? Maybe a few, but growth requires new money. Where are those ideas? I’ve heard that farm tourism is big. City folks love baby animals and waving grain for a weekend while up visiting friends. It’s called an experience for the family. Ice cream factories need milk, create jobs and export products not to mention bringing in retail and tourism dollars? Hunting and fishing are enjoyed by all, and though seasonal, where do I rent a boat or a blind? It boils down to how many people with vision live around here. It will be up to business, consumers and local farmers to get together and organize the resources required to prevent this land from becoming a mega sewer. Your children will thank you. Thank a local farmer. Frederick Painter Trade Lake, Wisconsin

Big Boy rolls through Pine County JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Terry Fry of Grantsburg has loved trains for most of his life. He knew this opportunity, to see the largest steam engine in the world, was too good to miss. The Union Pacific Big Boy Steam Engine No. 4014 went through Pine County on Friday while making its way to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth. The famous steam engine was on tour as part of the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad’s completion. Of the 25 Big Boys built for Union Pacific only eight remain today.

“It was a good time. I had a real good time,” Fry said. Fry had been planning his trip for months because he knew how rare the chance would be to see the locomotive. He was not disappointed. “I had planned to see it in Hinckley and Beroun,” Fry said after explaining a few mishaps with the timing. “At one point the highway turned into a parking lot.” Fry said this is probably the only time these trains, mostly based on the west coast, would be coming through Minnesota or Wisconsin. “It was nice weather and a beautiful train,” Fry said. “And that whistle was deafening. If you don’t hear that

whistle coming, you’re probably dead.”

A man from Danbury was caught after taking a postal truck from the Grantsburg Post Office. It was recovered by authorities after the truck’s GPS tracking system was activated. Michael P. Lunsman, 51, Danbury, has been charged with one count of take/drive vehicle with consent – abandon vehicle. It is a class A misdemeanor charge if defined as “the defendant abandoned the veLunsman hicle without damage within 24 hours after the vehicle was taken from the possession of the owner” by the Wisconsin legislature. According to the criminal complaint, the Grantsburg Police Department received information about a truck stolen from behind the Grantsburg Post Office, 201 N. Pine Street. Grantsburg PD reported the information came from someone who said the truck was in the parking lot around 7 a.m. on July 2 and at 12:30 p.m. the truck was gone. Police then found out the keys to the

truck were left in the center counsel. They also found out that the truck had a GPS unit in it and the post office could track the tuck. Burnett County Sheriff’s Office then took over the search for the truck. The GPS unit had been activated and was mapped to a Hayden Lake Road address in the town of Oakland. Authorities then spoke with the residents Richard Connors and Michael Lunsman. Lunsman allegedly told an officer, “The truck was at his house because he was in Grantsburg this morning and needed to get home.” There was no damage done to the truck. Lunsman told police The misdemeanor charge comes with the potential of 9 months imprisoned, a $10,000 fine or both. Lunsman failed to appear at his initial appearance scheduled for July 24. He was then issued a bench warrant by Judge Melissia Mogen.

Folks coming to the fast-paced play went on a rollicking ride as the actors, steered by narrators, attempted to re-create the tales by combining them into one gigantic story told with silly twists. Stories of a dim-witted wicked witch, pouty princes and princesses, a reluctant Rapunzel, a rude Red Riding Hood, the delinquent duo of Hansel and Gretel, a

bewildered big bad wolf, and dumbfounded devils had the audiences in stitches. Fair warning – these aren’t your childhood fairytales.

Siren and Civic 4 kick off economic development planning DeďŹ ne efforts to tap into Siren's potential SIRENâ€“ July 17, the Siren Economic Development Advisory Committee met with consultants Sophie Parr, Principal Planner, and Aria Kampfer, Policy Analyst, of Civic 4, LLC to kick off a Siren area economic development planning project recently funded by a Wisconsin Department of Administration Community Development Block Grant for planning. With Civic 4's experience and expertise in working with smaller communities and familiarity with the northwestern Wisconsin area, all are excited to begin this partnership to set direction for the area's future. Parr's Civic 4 philosophy is "planning enables us to see the future, identify our opportunities and plan for outcomes. Civic 4 takes it one step further, providing the last element that ties it all together, managing the change. We bring accountability to planning, focusing our efforts on measurable results. By learning and becoming an expert of your agency, engaging with your stakeholders, to creating the plan, we make change happen." Although much information had been forwarded in advance to Civic 4, during this first session the Committee provided background on how the group came to pursue the development of an economic development plan, with each member sharing their thoughts and perspectives on the past, present, and future needs for the area. Parr recapped the process with an overview and timeline of each step; final plan approvals are expected by April 2020. Project input, from numerous sources, is a key part to the success of this process. The group defined various methods for how to accomplish this by identifying stakeholders, both individual and focus groups, for oneon-one interviews; 'pop-up' events at the September 21 Siren Nationals and September 28 Siren Harvestfest events; a public forum evening being scheduled for mid-October at the Siren School;

Burnett County residents invited to help search Wisconsinâ€™s waters for invasive species on August 17

Water lovers of all ages are invited to join the Burnett County Land Services Department on a search for aquatic invasive species (AIS) on August 17, 2019 at Crooked Lake Park in Siren. This fun, hands-on effort, known as AIS Snapshot Day, relies on participants to monitor streams and lakes at designated sites across the state, for signs of non-native plants and animals that pose risks to Wisconsin waterways and wildlife. Coordinated by River Alliance of Wisconsin, in partnership with UW Extensionâ€™s Citizen Lake Monitoring Network, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Snapshot Day is entering itsâ€™ 6th successful year. Information collected will be provided to the WI DNR to inform and guide monitoring and response efforts. Volunteers are key to the success of the event. â€œMore and more people want to know how they can help protect the local

Throughout the state nearly 200 volunteers are expected to join the search for invasive species, which will include escaped or intentionally released water garden and aquarium species that can choke out rivers and streams and impair vital habitat for native wildlife. Coordination of this event is made possible with generous support from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources through an Aquatic Invasive Species Education, Planning and Prevention grant. Following a brief identification training, volunteers will disperse to collect samples at critical monitoring sites, then reconvene to report what

BURNETT COUNTY HISTORY

Grantsburgâ€™s ďŹ rst circus KAYLA CASEY NEWS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Grantsburgâ€™s first ever circus was the Sands & Astleyâ€™s English-American Show which was held on July 27, 1899. Many wonderful things were advertised about the circus such as a rare zoological collection which consisted of â€œrare and costly wild beasts from remote countries and troupes of wonderfully trained domestic animals.â€? There were also supposed to be funny clowns, highly educated ponies and many other areas of talent. However, according to the Aug. 3, 1899 edition of the Sentinel, the show was a big bust. The people performing in the circus were doubtful characters and gamblers and they did not exhibit hardly any of the acts that they advertised. As for the rare zoological collection, it was reported that it was nothing more than â€œa score of condemned horses, half a dozen mangy dogs, a snake, two moth-eaten bears and a wildcat.â€? One advertisement that stood true to what it advertised was the male and female performers who could demonstrate â€œstartling and sensational feats of skill and daring.â€? At least in this area, the performers did well. The dogs and the horses in the show happened to be fairly good performers as well. One of the largest draws of the circus was the side shows, which were a success in their performances. If it wasnâ€™t for the false advertisement, perhaps the circus could have turned out to be more successful than it was.

Summer time reminder! SMP TEAM

With the summer months just ahead, this seems to be a good time to provide those reminders related to sun protection. Sun Protection in the Car For most people, car safety means seat belts and airbags. But there’s another important way to stay out of harm’s way on the road, and that’s by protecting your skin from the sun. When thinking about sun exposure, you might envision yourself sitting in your yard, on the beach, or exercising outdoors. But millions of Americans receive a large portion of their sun exposure when they don’t even realize it — in their cars. For years, dermatologists have observed that patients in the US often have more sun damage (which can lead to wrinkles, leathering, sagging, brown “age” spots and even skin cancers) on the left side of their faces than on the right. Why? Research increasingly points to ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation penetrating through car windows. UV radiation from the sun, associated with about 90 percent of all skin cancers, reaches the earth as long-wavelength UVA and short-wave UVB rays. Glass effectively blocks UVB, and windshields are specially treated to block UVA as well, but a car’s side and rear windows allow UVA

to penetrate. UV exposure is cumulative, and research has proven that skin exposed to sun shining through window glass, even in the office, can over time lead to significant skin damage. The

and deeper wrinkles on the left. The more time subjects spent driving a vehicle, the more severe their photodamage on the left side. Reinforcing this research, in countries where the driver’s side is

the right side, people tend to develop more sun damage and skin precancers on the right. Certain precancers can turn into squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common form of skin cancer. There are several ways to protect yourself in a car. The first is to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher to your face, arms, neck and hands, about half an hour before you go driving. [The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using about an ounce over the entire body, including a teaspoonful on the face.] Because UVA passes through the window glass, make sure your sunscreen contains some combination of UVA-shielding ingredients such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, stabilized avobenzone, and ecamsule (MexorylTM). Be sure to reapply after two hours, or after sweating heavily. Protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants, UV-blocking sunglasses, and hats with a brim of at least 3 inches all around also help shield against the sun’s radiation. Hats are particularly important for men who have thinning hair and are at risk for developing skin cancer on top of their heads. Resource: The Skin Cancer Foundation, for more information, please visit their website, SkinCancer.org.

If you are traveling this summer, there is a lot to do before you leave. Before you pack your suitcases, you should take a look at your health insurance coverage. If you have Original Medicare, Medicare will cover your health care services when you’re in the United States, which includes Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands. However, if you travel outside of the U.S., including to Canada or Mexico, Medicare will not pay for any health care services or supplies you receive outside the U.S., except in very limited situations. Medicare supplement plans, or Medigap plans, allow you to see any provider who accepts Medicare. That means that if you are traveling within the U.S., and you have Original Medicare and a supplement plan, you will have coverage for any health care services or supplies you receive from providers who accept Medicare. If you are planning to travel outside the U.S., check your supplement policy to see if it includes coverage

‘If you travel outside of the U.S., including to Canada or Mexico, Medicare will not pay for any health care services or supplies you receive outside the U.S., except in very limited situations.’ for any services received outside the U.S. (often referred to as the “foreign travel rider”). Medicare Advantage plans, on the other hand, often only operate within a specific network. If you have an Advantage plan, check with your plan to see whether outof-network services are covered. Out-of-network emergency care will generally be covered. Some Medicare Advantage plans may provide additional coverage when you are traveling outside of the United States. Check with your

plan for more information. If you will need to refill your prescriptions while traveling, check with your prescription drug plan to see whether there are any network pharmacies at your destination. If you will not be able to use a network pharmacy while traveling, you may have to pay the full cost of your drugs when you fill your prescription. Check with your drug plan for information about how the plan reimburses out-of-network pharmacy purchases. Make sure you save your receipts! Please be aware that Medicare drug plans will not cover prescription drugs you buy outside the U.S. If you are concerned about not having coverage for medical care while you travel, don’t panic! Consider buying a travel insurance policy that includes health coverage. To purchase travel insurance, talk to an insurance agent. Be sure to ask about coverage for pre-existing conditions. Taking the time to plan out your health care coverage before you travel will help you to have an enjoyable and relaxing trip. Bon voyage!

What’s the “Scoop”? The Wisconsin SMP toll-free and confidential Helpline, (888) 818-2611, has been ringing frequently in the past several weeks as Wisconsin Medicare Beneficiaries reach out to us with questions and concerns. Each quarter we will feature one or two of the most frequent type of calls along with the SMP response. Wisconsin SMP, what’s the Scoop? I received a call from a company that was offering me a cancer screening test kit because I have a family history of cancer. They told me that this kit would be free to me, and Medicare would pay for everything because it was part of my Medicare benefit. They asked me for my Medicare number and I gave it to them. It’s been four weeks and I haven’t received the cancer screening test kit in the mail. Was that a scam call? Now what do I do? Here’s the Scoop: More than likely, this was a scam call and here is why: Medicare covers only one cancer screening. The test, Cologuard, is used to detect colorectal cancer. You are required to send in a stool sample for this test in the kit provided. Cologuard is available by prescription only, so you will need to talk with your health care provider about this screening. Several diagnostic tests are covered by Medicare but MUST be ordered by your

treating physician and must be used in the management of a current condition. If your treating physician does not order the test, Medicare says that the test is not necessary or reasonable and will not cover it. What should you do if you get a call like this? Hang up! If you do engage with the person calling, please DO NOT share your Medicare number with them, or any other personal information. Nothing good will come of that! If you would like to report the call to the Wisconsin SMP, some helpful information for us to have is the number that the person is calling from and any other details, such as the name of the company calling. We share this sort of information with the Administration for Community Living and the Federal Office of Inspector General for additional investigation. If you did share your Medicare number on a call like this, don’t worry, you aren’t alone. Call us so that we can help. We will compile information from you to pass along for additional investigation. We will also provide additional suggestions about things to watch for and be aware of in the coming weeks and months. It is better to reach out in this situation than be embarrassed and not call! We are here to help, so please give us a call!

MICHAEL ATLESON ACTING ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF CONSUMER & BUSINESS EDUCATION

A while back, we warned you about the “one ring” scam. That’s when you get a phone call from a

number you don’t know, and the call stops after just one ring. The scammer is hoping you’ll call back, because it’s really an international toll number and will appear as a charge on your phone bill — with most of the money going to the scammer. Well, the scam is back with a vengeance, and the FCC just issued a new advisory about it. Read the FCC’s advisory for more detail, but the advice from both agencies remains the same if you get one of these calls: • Don’t call back • Report the robocall to the FTC at www.donotcall.gov and the FCC at https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov • Always check your phone bill for suspicious or unusual charges Source: https://www.consumer. ftc.gov/blog/2019/05/get-one-ringcall-dont-call-back?

Medicare: rules for those with higher income ELENA GONZALES WALKER SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST

If you have higher income, the law requires an upward adjustment to your monthly Medicare Part B (medical insurance) and Medicare prescription drug coverage premiums. But, if your income has gone down, you may use form SSA-44 to request a reduction in your Medicare income-related monthly adjustment amount. Medicare Part B helps pay for your doctors’ services and outpatient care. It also covers

‘Medicare Part B helps pay for your doctors’ services and outpatient care. It also covers other medical services, such as physical and occupational therapy, and some home health care.’ other medical services, such as physical and occupational therapy, and some home health care. For most beneficiaries, the government pays a substantial portion — about 75 percent — of the Part B premium, and the beneficiary pays the remaining 25 percent. If you’re a higher-income beneficiary, you’ll pay a larger percentage of the total cost of Medicare Part B, based on the

income you report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You’ll pay monthly Part B premiums equal to 35, 50, 65, 80, or 85 percent of the total cost, depending on the income you report to the IRS. Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage helps pay for your prescription drugs. For most beneficiaries, the government pays a major portion of the total costs for this coverage, and the beneficiary pays the rest. Prescription drug plan costs vary depending on the plan, and whether you get Extra Help with your portion of the Medicare prescription drug coverage costs. If you’re a higher-income beneficiary with Medicare prescription drug coverage, you’ll pay monthly premiums plus an additional amount, which is also based on the income you report to the IRS. Because individual plan premiums vary, the law specifies that the amount is determined using a base premium. Social Security ties the additional amount you pay to the base beneficiary premium, not your own premium amount. If you’re a higher-income beneficiary, we deduct this amount from your monthly Social Security payments regardless of how you usually pay your monthly prescription plan premiums. If the amount is greater than your monthly payment from Social Security, or you don’t get monthly payments, you’ll get a separate bill from another federal agency, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or the Railroad Retirement Board. You can find Form SSA-44 online at www. socialsecurity.gov/forms/ssa-44.pdf. You can also read more in the publication “Medicare Premiums: Rules For Higher-Income Beneficiaries” at: www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/EN-05-10536.pdf.

SMP and Wisconsin Tribes – Wisconsin is home to 11 tribal nations. The Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council (GLITC, Inc.) - SMP team met with the Ho-Chunk Nation’s Elder Advisory Board in Black River Falls in March and with Lac Courte Oreilles’ LCO Elders Association in Hayward in April. Mary Wolf, GLITC Tribal Technical Assistance Center Director and Grace Livingston, GLITC Tribal Elder Benefits Specialist and Ingrid Kundinger, SMP Project Manager presented on the SMP program and shared the volunteer opportunities the SMP offers. The team gave a brief overview of the types of fraud and mistakes that occur which cost the insurance programs and Indian Health Service billions of dollars. Our mission is to help you Protect (yourself, our elders and Tribe), Detect and Report anything that looks like a charge not belonging to you on your summaries. Mary shared, “Our tribal culture believes in taking care to preserve things for the benefit of the next seven generations, and this aligns with SMP’s goal to ensure that the Medicare

program will be protected for future generations.” The team will be presenting in tribal communities, including Lac Vieux Desert, Menominee and Sokaogon in May.

New Medicare BFCC-QIO for Wisconsin Starts June 8 GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

For the past five years, KEPRO has been the Beneficiary and Family Centered Care Quality Improvement Organization (BFCC-QIO) in Wisconsin and 32 other states. Under a new five-year contract by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a company called Livanta will take over as the quality improvement organization for Wisconsin Medicare beneficiaries. The change will occur June 8, 2019. Both Livanta and KEPRO have put transition information on their respective websites to ensure appropriate contact information is available.

The QIO contractor reviews quality of care complaints under Medicare. The QIO also handles hospital discharge appeals and denials of Medicare coverage in skilled nursing facilities. All complaints and appeals must be initiated by calling the beneficiary help line. Some examples of quality of care concerns include: · a medication mistake; · being discharged before you are ready to leave; · picked up an infection while in the facility; · wrong treatment or care provided; · running into barriers to receiving care; or · other health care errors. IMPORTANT APPEAL

NOTE: Beneficiaries who no longer meet the guidelines for Medicare coverage in a skilled nursing facility are served a Medicare Notice of Non-Coverage document approximately 24-48 hours prior to the cessation of Medicare coverage. If this notice does not state the correct QIO appeal entity and contact information, then it is not considered a valid notice. The notice must properly inform Medicare beneficiaries where and how to appeal the denial in order to be effective.

LaFleur opens ﬁrst training camp as Packers head coach KEITH JENKINS AP SPORTS WRITER

Coach Ryan Karsten

Lukas Hunter

Siren featured in WFCA All-Star game OSHKOSH––The 2019 Wisconsin Football Coaches Association AllStar games were played Saturday July 20 at Titan Stadium in Oshkosh. Two Siren students along with Ryan Karsten as head coach. In the 8-man contest the South beat the North 21-6. On the team from Siren were Derek Highstrom and Lukas Hunter. They were

chosen for the All-Star team in February with Coach Karsten being selected as the head coach. Last year Karsten was the assistant coach for Luck’s 8-man football team Ryan Humpel. Highstrom finished the game with two tackles, one of which was a sack. The WFCA All-Star games

serve as a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Football Coaches Association has raised more than $3 million for this cause over the years. There were also a pair of students from Luck, Dennis Bruhle and Andrew Moos, and one from Frederic, Adam Menke.

Packers Training Camp Capsule ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREEN BAY PACKERS (6-9-1) OPEN CAMP: July 25, Green Bay, Wisconsin. LAST YEAR: Packers’ 2018 campaign was defined by friction between star quarterback and embattled coach. Mike McCarthy was fired after loss to lowly Arizona dropped Green Bay to 4-7-1. Packers split final four games and finished with worst record in more than decade. Aaron Rodgers threw only two interceptions and compiled second-most passing yards in 11 years as starter. But his 25 touchdown passes were fewest of career when he’s played all 16 games. That total was due in part to WR Randall Cobb, now with Dallas, being sidelined for large part of season with hamstring

injury. IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: Coach Matt LaFleur, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy, offensive line coach Adam Stenavich, OL Billy Turner, OLBs Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith and Rashan Gary, Ss Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage, CB Ka’dar Holloman, RB Dexter Williams. IMPORTANT LOSSES: McCarthy, Cobb, OLB Clay Matthews, FB John Kuhn, LB Nick Perry. CAMP NEEDS: Packers need ambitious LaFleur and headstrong Rodgers to build bond within LaFleur’s offense. Green Bay also needs Gary to show why

he was 12th overall pick and develop into force to form premium pass-rush personnel package with Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith. EXPECTATIONS: As long as Rodgers is healthy and under center, expectations for Green Bay will be high. But height of those expectations for this season depends on how well Rodgers and LaFleur jell. Packers have missed playoffs in each of last two seasons. Last time they were postseason spectators for three straight years, Rodgers was in diapers.

GREEN BAY — Matt LaFleur opened his first training camp as Packers head coach on Wednesday by saying the offense is still a “work in progress.” LaFleur said he will continue working to figure out what this team does best before it opens the season Sept. 5 on the road against rival Chicago. “It’s taking it one day at a time,” he said. “How can we get better each and every day and along the way, again, finding out exactly what our guys do well so we can keep showcasing that and do that to play to our strengths. Because this game is about the players, there’s no doubt.” In Green Bay, the key player is Aaron Rodgers, who at 34 is just five years younger than his new head coach. LaFleur called the two-time NFL MVP one of the most competitive players he’s ever been around. “You can see it on a daily basis,” LaFleur said. “It’s not just on the field, it’s in the meeting room, too. I just enjoy our communication. I enjoy the challenge. He’s an extremely intelligent player that has played a lot of ball and you better know what you’re talking about.” Rodgers threw only two interceptions in 597 pass attempts last season and compiled the second-most passing yards in 11 years as a starter. But his 25 touchdown passes were the fewest of his career when he’s played all 16 games. Wide receiver Randall Cobb, now with Dallas, was sidelined for large part of last season with a hamstring injury. LaFleur spent last season as offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans, his first time calling plays in the NFL. He takes over for Mike McCarthy, who was fired last season following a stunning home loss to Arizona in December as the Packers headed toward a second consecutive year without a playoff berth. LaFleur said he anticipates rookie safety Darnell Savage being ready for Thursday’s practice, the first of camp. Savage was placed on the non-football illness list Monday after having a dental procedure completed. “That’s kind of day by day thing to see how he feels,” LaFleur said of the 21st overall pick from Maryland who is well on his way to a starting job next to Adrian Amos. Former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Mike Daniels is expected to be released after seven seasons with Green Bay, a move that comes after the Packers signed Dean Lowry to a three-year, $20.3 million deal. “I know he’s meant a lot to this community, this football team,” LaFleur said of Daniels. “I still think he’s a really good player. I wish him well. But we feel really, really good about the group we have.” Notes: LaFleur is in a walking boot for at least the next couple weeks as he recovers from a ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered in May.

End childhood hunger ANGELA MOULTON BURNETT COUNTY SALVATION ARMY

Childhood hunger is a real issue right here in Wisconsin. One in five children in Wisconsin are dealing with food insecurity issues in their home and many in our local communities are dealing with hunger daily. Although there are local resources available, many are not reaching out for the help they need. The Burnett County Salvation Army Backpack Program is serving children living in Burnett County who need extra food over the weekends during the school year. Each backpack contains dinner items, breakfast, a snack and of course a fruit and vegetable. These backpacks can help supplement a family who is struggling and ensures our local students are not going without this important resource. Proper nutrition is important to children’s physical growth, mental development, and ability to concentrate and perform in school. Lack of nutrition can lead to disciplinary and performance issues in school, which has a lasting effect on their ability to receive a higher education, to find living-wage paying jobs, and to escape the cycle of hunger and poverty that trapped them at an early age.” Last school year, the Salvation Army and their volunteers helped to provide over 100 backpacks each week to children in the Siren and Grantsburg School Districts. The Webster School District has its own backpack program that was serving approximately 60 families each week. Childhood hunger is a problem that we can solve if we all work together. Donations are needed to help this important resource remain available. To learn more about how you can help the Salvation Army Backpack Program, please contact 715-497-4438 or visit us on the web at www.safaithhouse.org.

Bachelor Party on the Wisconsin River AN OUTDOORSMANâ€™S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, Back in May my stepson Joey Dushek told me that his bachelor party was going to be a canoe trip on the Wisconsin River that it would be July 13 and that he thought we would start paddling at Portage and campout on the sand bar. That is what we did, and now you can read the details of a very fun adventure for 18 men! Saturday, July 13 High 86, low 58 We met at Tamarac Pizza in Portage which is right on the river, and a place that I worked 40-hours per week my senior year at Poynette High School. Before we started our adventure, we had pizza and â€œrefreshmentsâ€? in Tamarac and let me tell you, I was going down memory lane all the way back to 1979. Our canoe trip would not be very long and that is because most islands and sand bars are underwater on this stretch of the Wisconsin River. Last night Trent Schuster, Travis Dushek, and Pat Lindemann did an excellent reconnaissance trip and found a sand bar that had the potential for excellent fishing and swimming. Pat and Travis spent the night and caught a couple of ten-pound catfish a 16-inch walleye and about two in the morning, â€œPat who fishes all night long Lindemann,â€? caught a beautiful musky in the low 40-inch range. Joey and his fiancee Ashley Potter have chosen a unique wedding format as they are having no wedding party and are getting married in a forest. After the wedding there will be a very large shin-dig. Joey has always loved this stretch of Wisconsin and I thought that it was really cool that he chose this part of the river and this format for his bachelor party. In all honesty we only paddled about 2 miles before we arrived at

our sand bar and let me tell you, the mood was electric. Eighteen men from both Joeyâ€™s past and his new family, well aware that they had zero responsibilities for 24-hours. We set up tents, laughed a lot, some of us put out lines rigged with either crawlers or cut bait which in this case was sheepshead fillets, and we soaked our bodies in the Wisconsin River. We all get along really well and all of us have a solid desire to hunt, fish and camp. What was really cool is that there were four adults over 55 that all had a solid part in watching the majority of these kids grow up. My brother Mike and brother-inlaw Dick Schuster were extremely dedicated to sitting on lawn chairs and trying to catch a fish. At that time the rest of us were playing Frisbee and throwing a football on the sandbar. Once again, I realized that I really suck at both the throwing and catching part of this game. I did make about 20, heroic â€œstupidâ€? dives, falls, and let me tell you the next two days I felt like I was run over by a bulldozer. While we were having fun in

the sand Dick hooked into a good fish and I could tell by the look on Mikeâ€™s face that it was a dandy. There was a diving lunge with the net in which the roughly 40-inch northern pike swam through it, a redo and then lots of hoots and hollers when Dickâ€™s trophy was landed. We had no intention of keeping the gator and after a quick group picture, let her go. What is really something is that about 4:30 in the morning â€œPat who fishes all night Lindemann,â€? caught another gator in the same size range. After dark there was a big campfire, some All-Star wrestling which I am now retired from, and the evening was simply a blast. Twice I heard Joey say, â€œthis is perfect,â€? and in reality, why donâ€™t more men have this kind of bachelor party, or if not on the water how about in the woods? The next morning we were all hurting and we strung our canoes together and Riley Schuster towed the whole works of us down to Hookers Resort where we had an excellent breakfast, packed our trucks and said goodbye. If that ainâ€™t fun, I donâ€™t know what is! Sunset.

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

HSBC knows that rough exteriors hide big, squishy hearts. Often, the Wagâ€™s profile photos donâ€™t accurately capture a petâ€™s inner beauty. Meet two examples of why looks arenâ€™t everything. Cooper is a 90-pound b bundle of love! This fawn rred-nosed Pitbull mix w with gold eyes is a smart, ffriendly, and happy guy. H He is three years old, has h had some training, is h housebroken, and loves p playing with toys. Cooper iis very gentle for someone o of his size and gets along w with kids and other dogs. H He loves his food but could Cooper maybe benefit from fewer treats and more walks. Speaking of food, Cooper does best on a grain-free diet; otherwise, he gets itchy. Come meet the dude who has the best butt wiggle in the building! Jack looks like a fighter but is really a lover. This nine-year-old, black, medium-haired cat enjoys cuddling with human friends. He is a bigger boy at about 12 pounds is missing some teeth, an ear tip and sports a gnarly scar on his face, but he is convinced that the ladies like his rugged looks! Now that his adventurous days are over, he would make a great couch potato to watch TV with or share your bed. One look into his amber eyes, and you can see why. Thanks for the support! Billy, who has been at HSBC since January, has Jack someone willing to pay for his adoption fee to get him into the right home! If you are interested in this eight-month-old black shorthair, go to the website to fill out a pre-adoption application or call HSBC during business hours. While the staff loves Billy, they would be excited to see him find a place of his very own. Thanks to the participants of the Carlyle Sherstad 5K/10K in June!

OBITUARIES

Charles Ray Altstatt

Charles Ray Altstatt, 777, of Siren, passed away J July 16, 2019 in St. Paul, M Minn. Visitation and wake w will be Saturday, August 3 at 10 a.m. at St. Domin nic Catholic Church in F Frederic. Funeral Mass c celebrated by Fr. James B Brinkman will follow at 111 a.m. at the same locattion. Burial will occur Monday, August 5, at 10:30 a.m. at Acacia Park Cemetery in St. Paul with brief services by Fr. Maduro. Charlie was born in St. Paul, Minn. to Frances (Sho) and Raymond Altstatt on November 12, 1941. He attended St. Jude of the Lake in Mahtomedi and St. Thomas Academy in St. Paul, as well as St. John’s University, graduating from University of Minnesota with a baccalaureate in mechanical engineering. He then worked for Boeing in Seattle where he met Margaret Hurley, the love of his life and wife of 50 years. They soon returned to family in St. Paul where he worked for Torit Donaldson Company. Charlie’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to cofound and lead the manufacturing company CK Engineering for 15 years where he made machine parts, tanning beds, and dreamed up new products such as board game pieces. He later let his creativity flow into a retirement business, Rustic Living Wisconsin, on Mudhen Lake in Siren, where he enjoyed designing and selling outdoor furniture and DIY furniture parts for which customers around the world sent proud pictures of what they were inspired to make. Moving to the small Wisconsin community spurred his sense of civic engagement and he became known as an “ideas man.” He cofounded the Lake Country Pedaler’s bicycle club to get locals and tourists outside biking the trails and he actively engaged in improving the trail system for cyclists. Not every idea could be put into action, most regrettably live turtle races, but his enthusiasm and good nature encouraged all to think of fun possibilities and join in every endeavor. Charlie was heavily involved with the charitable efforts of the Knights of Columbus, serving for a time as Grand Knight for the local chapter. Charlie is preceded in death by his father and mother. He is survived by his wife, Margaret, his five loving children, Rosanne (Burkhard) Altstatt, Aimee (Paul) Maravigli, Jim (Lily) Altstatt, Dan (Dawn) Altstatt, and Anne (Nick) Altstatt. Beloved brother of Mary Altstatt Abraham, Arthur Altstatt, Joe Altstatt, Gene Altstatt, Jan Altstatt Gregg, and Elizabeth Altstatt. Proud grandfather of Madeleine, Luke, Lieselotte, Patrick, Alexander, Nicholas, Charlie, Claire, and Celia. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Friends of the Gandy Dancer Bicycle Trail (gandydancertrail.org) or the local Knights of Columbus Council 6370. You are invited to leave condolences, memories and photos at www.rowefh.com. Arrangements are entrusted to Rowe Funeral Home, 715-327-4475.

Man who kidnapped Jayme Closs moved out of Wisconsin

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Main Street construction begins Crews began their work on the Madison Avenue construction project on Monday. They began with replacing a water main at the intersection of Pine Street and Madison Avenue.

BARRONâ€” A man who admitted to kidnapping Jayme Closs and killing her parents has been moved to a facility outside Wisconsin. Twenty-two-year-old Jake Patterson is serving life without parole for the October deaths of James and Denise Closs. State records say he was moved Monday, but do not say where or why he was transferred. The Department of Corrections says his location is not being disclosed for his safety. Patterson held Jayme captive in a remote cabin for nearly three months before she escaped in January. The criminal complaint says he saw Jayme getting on a school bus and decided â€œshe was the girl he was going to take.â€? Patterson pleaded guilty in March to two counts of intentional homicide and one count of kidnapping. He was sentenced in May.

Good news/bad news

Pastor Jeff Jowers First Baptist Webster

We’ve probably all had someone start a conversation with us by saying they had good news and bad news for us. Sometimes they even give us the option of picking which one we want to hear first. How do you answer that? We seem to live in a world that only wants to hear the good news about ourselves. We don’t want to be told we are wrong or we need to change. It’s much more pleasant to hear about how good we are or how much God loves us and accepts us. However, do we see the good news for what it is if there’s no bad news first? If someone you don’t know handed you a

small little object and told you to swallow it because it was good for you, would you? Doubtful. But what if that someone was a doctor who told you that you had a terrible disease but that little object was a pill that would save you? Well, that changes things a little. We don’t understand just how good the good news is without a little context. So we should be honest about the bad news when it comes to our own spiritual state. Ephesians 2:1 reminds us that we were “dead in our sins.” Verse 3 tells us that we were “by nature children of wrath.” None of that sounds good.

However that shows us how much greater the good news us. That by God’s grace through faith in Jesus we are “made alive” with Him (verse 5). Realizing how bad it was helps us appreciate how good it is or at least can be. Jesus takes us from death to life forever with Him. There is no greater news. That is the reality for all who truly believe in Jesus Christ. It is also the reality that will be for all who see the reality of the bad news and turn in faith to Him as the only hope for life. There’s no news so bad to put us beyond the hope of the good news in Jesus.
