Nagel ready for new school year JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

As the school year becomes fast approaching and the summer winds down schools are preparing for class to be back in session. In Webster, there is a new principal at the elementary school and she is more than ready and prepared for what this new school year will bring. Walking Nagel into Webster elementary in early August the office is packed with boxes. The United Way recently sent boxes full of backpacks with supplies for the students. New principal Ashley Nagel is set to welcome the students in September. Nagel, originally from Balsam Lake, was hired as the new principal back in May and has spent the last few months coming up with an abundance of ideas for the new school year. She steps into the office formerly occupied by Martha Anderson who was the Webster Elementary School Principal for 27 years and retired at the end of last year. SEE NAGEL, PAGE 6

‘Somebody could die’ Issue with 911 call leads to discussion on ﬁber phones JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Webster High School made a 911 phone call earlier this summer because a student was having a seizure and the school needed medical support. When the secretary heard the voice on the other line one of the first questions was “which city and state are you in?”

Sue Eytcheson, Webster High School secretary said the 911 call was made sometime in late May or early June. She said the phone was answered by someone “somewhere in the world.” She just knew it was not answered in Burnett County. “They asked me what city and state I was calling from,” Eytcheson told the Sentinel.

Webster High School made a 911 call earlier this summer and was connected to a third party 911 operator because of their phone system.

Let the kids play

t’s that time of year again when we watch kids play baseball on national television. That’s right people it’s the Little League World Series. Teams from all over the country and world (although almost all the kids on the Germany team live on American airbases) battle for fame and strive to be the best without crumbling under the pressure of international attention. As I stated awhile back I was once a first-class athlete, received my varsity letter following my freshman year on the wrestling team. I was pretty good at all three of my sports. Football season turned into wrestling season which usually wrapped up about a month before baseball started. But then I discovered my love of music along with other extra curriculars and began leaving all the sports I played. Baseball was the last sport that I became a quiter. It was either quit Sentinel the game or become a murderer. Our team was awful, we would Editor reach the slaughter rule (15 run Jonathan Richie deficit) in the first inning but would have to play another two innings. One time the other team’s coach felt so bad for us after they scored almost 30 runs in two innings that he forced a baserunner to take his helmet off while standing on third base just so he would be called out and all of us could go home. Anyway, in seventh grade I was selected to the Menomonee Falls Little League All-Star team. Which was great for me because that was a terrible year for me and I was angry/miserable for two years, but that’s a story for another day. Even though I was never very tall the coaches would let me play first base most of my career. Too slow to play outfield and never had the knees to play catcher. Also, I was a terrible hitter because I have terrible depth perception, so everything looked like it was out of the strike zone. We did not make it very far in the tournament. We lost all three qualifying games but had a lot of fun, so much so that I don’t speak to anyone on that team anymore. We were tied 2-2 and the coach told me to go play third base because I had a cannon for an arm. Now picture this - short fat kid playing third base - any good opposing coach would have every batter lay down a bunt and make me run up to make a play. Their first batter steps up the plate, I think they were from Germantown or Cedarburg (basically the other rich/white suburbs of Milwaukee.) He sets to bunt I run up on the plate to be ready for it, then he pulls the bat back and my mom and other parents heard me scream, “Oh (bleep)!” He rips the ball right at me. I jump approximately four feet into the air, snag the ball and rifle it to first base. Then the first baseman dropped it and we eventually lost the game 8-2. There’s no moral to this story, besides I used to be really good at sports and now I’m a fat guy who sweats just from walking down the hallway. Give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.

Don’t mess with Halloween

rowing up in the 1970s as part of a large family there were three times during the year when I could get candy: Easter, Christmas and Halloween. Of these three holidays, Halloween was the best because the only limits placed on your ability to get candy was the speed of your run from door to door and your ability to carry a heavy sack filled with candy. In this tradition, it is the quintessential American holiday. Any child can become wealthy beyond measure with a roaster pan filled with candy, providing you have the will to put in the time and effort. Well, you also From the Publisher’s need to be able to protect your candy from your siblings and your father. Desk It’s never too early to learn about guarding your “stuff.” Tom Stangl In the small town where I grew ibli up, my siblings and I could literally go from one end of town to the other on Halloween. It didn’t matter if October 31 was a Monday or a Saturday, we wolfed down our supper and headed out the door. As long as we were home by 9, we could gather as much candy as we could carry. Times have changed since Richard Nixon was president. We have become more fearful about letting our children roam freely in our communities, in many cases for good reason. Today, if a child was able to amass the horde of candy I got back in the day, there’s no way they would get to eat it. Even nightfall has been delayed with the postponed return of Standard Time to the first weekend in November. But it’s still a great time. Dressing up in costume is fun, being out in the crisp fall night air can be scary if you let your imagination go wild. My wife and I took our granddaughters out trick or treating last year and

had a great time. I’m waxing nostalgic about Halloween because my beloved holiday is under attack. Candy police? Political correctness? Nope, something even worse, in my opinion — laziness. The Halloween & Costume Association initially wanted to move Halloween to the last Saturday of October, now they have decided to leave Halloween alone, but call for a National Trick or Treat Day on the last Saturday of October. “While we still believe an end-of-October Saturday observance will promote safety and increase the fun, this year we will be launching a national initiative designed to enhance the Halloween that we all know and love,” an online petition says. An article on the topic published by The Hill said “The association — a trade organization that serves as a nonprofit voice for businesses that manufacture, import and distribute Halloween products — argued in the petition that moving Halloween could be safer for parents and children who are trick-or-treating. The group didn’t specify how moving Halloween to a weekend would solve issues related to injuries and parental supervision, though a number of municipalities already hold trick-or-treating events on days other than Halloween to avoid potential incidents.” So yes, it’s a gimmick for you to spend more money. The petition organizers hope that the president will sign a decree to create the new holiday. We all know that our nation has bigger fish to fry. Leave Halloween where it is and give me those funsize Snickers, and that popcorn ball… As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

Justice Shirley Abrahamson let the sunshine in

FISCAL FACTS

Assessing Gov. Evers’ marijuana proposals and their impacts

CHRISTA WESTERBERG

As Justice Shirley Abrahamson ends her tenure on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, after 43 years and more than 1,300 authored opinions, she leaves a rich legacy of legal scholarship, importantly including her support for government transparency. While on the court, Abrahamson faithfully applied the presumption in favor of public access in the open records and meetings laws. She authored or joined dozens of opinions affirming the law’s stated policy that “all persons are entitled to the greatest possible information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts” of government officers and employees. For example, she wrote the majority opinion in Milwaukee Journal Sentinel v. City of Milwaukee, a 2012 ruling that barred records custodians from charging requesters for the cost to redact (black out) records. Not only were such charges prohibited by statute, Abrahamson said, but “increasing the costs of public records requests for a requester may inhibit access to public records and, in some instances, render the records inaccessible.” Abrahamson’s opinions also recognized Wisconsin’s strong tradition of open government. In a 2010 case, she quipped, “If Wisconsin were not known as the Dairy State it could be known, and rightfully so, as the Sunshine State.” Abrahamson frequently dissented from opinions that limited access. She was a strong critic of two opinions in the late 1990s that permitted individuals identified in records to seek to block disclosure. She wrote: “I Shirley Abrahamson Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice dissent because the majority and concurring opinions rewrite the open records law, do away with the legislatively created ‘presumption of complete public access’ to public records and severely damage the core function of the open records law.” The Legislature narrowed the court-created loophole a few years later. Abrahamson also advocated for transparency within the Supreme Court itself. In 2012, she opposed its 4-3 decision to close some of the court’s rules and operations conferences to the public. In 2017, she was in the 5-2 minority that closed all such conferences. In addition, Abrahamson can take some credit for the existence of the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council, the statewide group on which I serve. In 1977, a joint committee of the media and the State Bar was created to study openness in legal venues. The committee invited Abrahamson, then a newly appointed member of the state Supreme Court, as its inaugural speaker. Council founding member Dave Zweifel recalls her advising that if openness in Wisconsin was to be protected and improved, the press needed to become better organized and more proactive. Soon after, Wisconsin news organizations began meetings that led to the council’s creation in October 1978. Its first major accomplishment was to work with the state Supreme Court to make Wisconsin one of the first states to allow cameras in the courtroom. Says Zweifel, “I credit Shirley for being the catalyst [of] what became a new era for open government in Wisconsin and remains highly effective to this very day.” Fittingly, Abrahamson spoke at the Council’s 30th-anniversary event in 2009. She concluded her remarks with a quotation from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis that “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” As Abrahamson concludes her time on the bench, she might be known, and rightfully so, as the Sunshine Justice. Your Right to Know is a monthly column distributed by the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council (wisfoic. org), a group dedicated to open government. Christa Westerberg, an attorney at Pines Bach law firm in Madison, is the group’s co-vice president.

In his proposed budget, Gov. Tony Evers sought to legalize medical marijuana and decriminalize small amounts of the drug for other users. Evers’ decriminalization proposal would be unusual in allowing all Wisconsinites to possess 25 grams or less of the drug without any criminal or civil penalties — that would go further than any state except the 10 that have legalized marijuana for recreational use.

‘If Wisconsin were not known as the Dairy State it could be known, and rightfully so, as the Sunshine State.’

The governor’s decriminalization plan would address Wisconsin’s current patchwork of different municipal ordinances and penalties for first-time marijuana possession, which can range from a fine of as little as $1 in Eau Claire and Racine to $500 in Green Bay, creating potential confusion and inequities. Also, under the Evers proposal, sales of medical marijuana would be subject to sales taxes and a proposed 10 percent surcharge, and dispensaries and patients also would pay license fees. Combined, these taxes and fees would generate an estimated $2.4 million in tax and fee revenue for the state over the next two years. The governor’s proposals could have impacts on the criminal justice system as well as racial equity. State Department of Corrections data show higher rates of admission for black offenders than white offenders for marijuana-related offenses, despite similar rates of use. However, those statistics also indicate only small numbers of individuals serve prison time for charges that just involve marijuana. Although lawmakers removed the governor’s proposals from the state budget, the debate over the state’s marijuana laws remains relevant and timely. Wisconsin is now nearly surrounded by states (Michigan, Minnesota, and Illinois) that have legalized medical or recreational marijuana, raising potential issues such as impaired driving and economic impacts as more state residents access legal markets for the drug in neighboring states. Under federal law, however, marijuana remains prohibited across the country, adding to the uncertain environment for state marijuana policies.

Semi-baked boo bear-wee pie Last week, my brother and family visited. He has two adorable little boys. It was so fun having little ones around. They see the world in fresh new ways. Everything is fun. I took my 2-year-old nephew on a walk. We looked at everything. We watched ants crawl across the driveway, chased Wild Chow dragonflies around the yard, Lisa Erickson and threw a ball for our dog to fetch, and we looked for frogs. When walking back to the house after our hour of fun, I remembered my blueberries were ready to pick and asked if he liked blueberries. I will never forget the look on his face when he saw the blueberries. His whole body was involved in his happy exclamation. “Boo bear-wees!” he screamed, jumping up and down clapping his hands. Blueberries are one of the best summer treats in the northern Midwest. They are tasty little berries, not sour, and have just the right amount of flavor. They

are the perfect fruit to eat with nothing else. I usually don’t have enough for a pie after everyone has eaten them fresh, but this has been a good year for berries. Using fresh blueberries for a semi-baked pie takes a blueberry pie to a new level of yumminess and convenience. When I told my nephews, I was making a blueberry pie for them, they squealed with delight. This pie explodes with blueberry flavor and is quick and easy to prepare—which makes me clap my hands and jump up and down. Semi-Baked Blueberry Pie 5 cups fresh blueberries, divided 1/3 cup sugar 2 1/2 tsp. cornstarch 2 tsp lemon zest 2 Tbsp. butter Baked piecrust 1 cup whipping cream 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar 1/2 tsp. almond extract Bake a prepared piecrust to the manufacturer’s instructions in a 9-inch pie plate. Cool. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, butter, and lemon zest. Add 3 cups of blueberries and with a fork, crush

some of the berries. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the blueberries start to soften and the juice thickens. Remove from heat and cool. Add the remaining blueberries to the cooled, cooked berries and set aside. Pour the cooled blueberry mixture into the cooled crust. In a large bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and continue whipping until firm peaks form. Stir in almond extract. Slice the pie and plate. Top with a large dollop of whipped cream.

one, two or three moves. They learned to use a chess clock, which is often required in chess tournaments. In the chess notation session, students learned to write down all a game’s moves in a special notebook in order to replay the game at a later date. Each student received a free chess notation book. Grantsburg Library Chess Club Leader John Hunt says he learned to play chess as a boy and feels chess should be

a part of every child’s learning. “Chess is a great thinking and strategy tool,” Hunt said. “It’s fun and educational. In many parts of the world, chess is played in school every day.” For fun, some students also played “reverse chess” in which they tried to give away all their pieces first, and “bughouse,” a fast, four-person chess game using two chess boards. The day culminated with Frederic Chess Club Co-Leader Eli Marek of Luck taking on 11 chess players at once, and winning 10

of 11 games. He is a frequent participant in the Wisconsin State Chess Tournament held twice a year in Oshkosh. Frederic Library Chess Club co-leader Steve Briggs said their club started in January. “It’s been great to see such progress in their chess skill level and confidence. While this event was purely fun and educational, we think many of these players will soon be ready to play in a tournament.” The Grantsburg Library Chess Club, which has operated continuously since

2011, is free and open to home-school and public-school students residing in the Grantsburg area. It meets at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, January through March, in the Grantsburg Library Learning Center. The Frederic Library Chess Club is free and open to all home-school and public-school students residing in the Frederic area. It meets year-round at 3:30 p.m. Thursdays at Frederic Public Library.

911: Fiber phone lines do not recognize local numbers creating havoc for 911 calls CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“It was befuddling and then frustrating because when you need an ambulance you need it now, not 10 minutes from now.” She added it was answered by a woman speaking English. However, it was difficult for Eytcheson to understand the situation because she was calling from Burnett County and it did not make sense why was she not speaking to someone with the Burnett County dispatch center. Eytcheson eventually got a hold of the Burnett County Dispatch center and all three were on the phone together trying to figure out the situation. An ambulance was sent after the brief confusion with the call. Webster School District

switched over to an IP phone system which makes calls through the Internet and not the standard phone company. It’s a common cost saving method used by businesses including gas standards. The problem arises when a 911 call inside Burnett County does not go directly to the Burnett County Dispatch Center, but instead goes to a call center overseas. The dispatcher possibly 1000s of miles away then has to find where the call is coming from and then has to contact the local dispatch center and give them the information. Technology Specialist Steve Sacharski with the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office brought up the issue at the Public Safety committee meet-

ing last week. He described the situation as “the school called a third-party operator for a 911 center overseas.” The conversation shifted to short-term solutions for the problem including calling the Sheriff’s office directly and then being put through to dispatch, which would create an extra step in the emergency phone call situation but could be better than having the phone call routed overseas. Supervisor Dorothy Richard was nervous about this kind of issue continuing to arise across the county. “This kind of thing could be serious,” Richard said. “Someone could die.” Webster Superintendent has been looking for answers to this problem and said he

has got more questions than answers during his search. “Evidently the fiber phones don’t recognize local phone lines,” Erickson said. “And it doesn’t seem that we can just have three or four local extensions. It’s all or nothing.” Erickson said he will be contacting other school districts in the area because he thought it was odd that Webster is the only district that has fiber phone lines. Jessica Jackson is the director of technology of Siren schools. She told the Sentinel that Siren does not have fiber phone lines. Jesse Byers is the technology director for Grantsburg Schools. He said some of the schools in the district have switched over to fiber lines.

“The middle school and Nelson have fiber phone lines,” Byers said. “We’ll be going over a protocol with the teachers on how to handle an event like this if it comes up in the future,” Erickson added. Some of the possibilities for Webster school for the short-term are having the school call the sheriff’s office. He added they will also be brainstorming with the district principals on long term solutions to the issue. “It is important that our staff and students be safe,” Erickson said. “And that includes being able to get ahold of authorities in case of an emergency as quickly and efficiently as possible.”

NAGEL: principal ready for school year CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Anderson commented on Nagel’s hiring as “a great choice” and said that she is already familiar with many of the system Webster is using including EduClimber which tracks all types of statistics on students from attendance to test scores and disciplinary history. The two spent a pair of weeks together during summer school. She got to meet with staff and students and got acquainted on how the school operates. Nagel spent the last six years in the Osceola school district teaching special education. Before that she taught at Northwest Passage in Frederic. She also has experience teaching math and science to fifth graders. In college, Nagel was a double major in elementary education and math. She also has a master’s degree in education with an emphasis in family involvement, administration leadership certification for pre-K through grade 12 along with multiple certifications in children

and adolescent mental health and is USA mental health first aid certified. The transition from teacher to principal was always her goal, even though some thought it wasn’t a great idea. “My parents didn’t want me to go into teaching, but my plan was always to transition from teacher to an administrative role.” She had some doubts about the transition at times, but when she was finishing up her administrative courses she could feel it was the right move. “My major goal for this year is to build relationships with the students and staff,” Nagel said. She currently lives in the Miltown area with her husband and three boys and they operate a pumpkin farm. Nagel concluded, “I am very excited about this new opportunity and what I can bring to the community, families, students and staff here at the elementary school.”

New cases identiﬁed in investigation of lung disease among teens and young adults who reported vaping DHS urges Wisconsinites to avoid vaping and e-cigarettes The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has received 11 cases of teenagers and young adults hospitalized with severe lung disease that has been linked to recent vaping. Seven other cases are under further investigation. Counties with confirmed cases include Door, Racine, Walworth, Dodge, Waukesha, and Winnebago. “We are currently interviewing patients, all of whom reported recent vaping. Our disease investigators continue to gather information about the names and types of vape products that were

used in hopes of determining a common link,” said Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm. “We strongly urge people to avoid vaping products and e-cigarettes. Anyone—especially young people who have recently vaped—experiencing unexplained breathing problems should see a doctor.” These patients experienced shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, cough, and weight loss. The severity of the disease has varied among patients, with some needing assistance to breathe. While patients have improved with treatment, it is not known if there will be long-term health effects. People should contact their doctor or local or tribal public

health offices with any concerns about these symptoms. This is an ongoing investigation and DHS is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), local health care providers and is coordinating with other states to make them aware of the situation so they are prepared if they have reports of similar cases. People can learn more about e-cigarettes and vaping products—including what they look like and how to talk to kids about them—at tobaccoischanging. com. For the latest updates on this disease investigation, visit dhs.wisconsin.gov/ outbreaks.

Additional drug charges for Fagnan

Rollover accident on Highway 87

JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Close-up of the vehicle after rolling over on Highway 87 last week. Initial reports suggest the driver fell asleep at the wheel.

Shane Fagnan, 23, Grantsburg, will be facing additional charges after two search warrants were executed by police which resulted in synthetic cannabinoids being found. He currently has an open case in Burnett County where he has been charged with felony possession of amphetamine with intent, felony possession of synthetic cannabinoids with intent, felony maintaining a drug trafficking place and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Those charges came after a search warrant was executed in the Village of Grantsburg in June. The cash bond has been set for that case at $14,000. Fagnan According to the police report, the search warrant was executed on a truck registered to Fagnan on July 31. Inside the truck officers allegedly found 220 grams of green plant material which tested positive for synthetic cannabinoids. There was also 75-100 gem baggies, often used for selling drugs, found in the truck. The report continues to state there was an envelope with Fagnanâ€™s name on it inside the truck also containing 270 grams of synthetic cannabinoids. Then a thermos was found in the bed of the truck with 490 grams of synthetic cannabinoids. Authorities found an alleged total of 577 grams of synthetic cannabinoids or approximately 1.2 pounds. On the same day a search warrant was executed at a residence on County Road D near Deer Farm Road. Authorities received information about money being buried near the residence and Siren police searched the suspected area. Instead of money police allegedly found various pills including morphine, acetaminophen hydrocodone bitartrate and other various pills that they could not immediately identify. They also found 68 grams of synthetic cannabinoids. The new recommended charges for Fagnan, who is currently in custody and being housed in the Barron County Jail, are possession of a schedule II narcotic and possession with intent to deliver synthetic cannabinoids, over 500 grams. One officer told the Sentinel that the rise in synthetic cannabinoids is in part due to the high it gives the user. It apparently can give a similar high that methamphetamine provides. Fagnan is scheduled to appear in the Burnett County Courthouse for his preliminary hearing for the charges stemming from the June 30 search warrant.

Authorities were called to a roll-over accident on Highway 87 the morning of July 31. Around 10 a.m. reports started coming in of a car rolled over on the side of the road. The single vehicle accident resulted in only minor injuries for the driver, who was the lone occupant of the car. There was various debris leading from the street to the car. One witness drove past the accident and saw the driver standing on the side of the road and looked â€œshook up.â€? Initial reports from authorities suggest the driver fell asleep while driving northbound on Highway 35 into Grantsburg. The car swerved and entered the ditch on the southbound side of the road and rolled over possibly numerous times before coming to a stop.

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Authorities believed the driver was traveling northbound on Highway 87 when the car entered the southbound lane and turned over in the ditch.

Guns drawn in Grantsburg JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

It was a tense scene near the stoplights in Grantsburg when a sheriffâ€™s deputy pulled into village floral and had three subjects on the ground at gunpoint. The Sentinel received reports of the situation on the morning of July 26. Once on the scene, there were three suspects on the ground as other officers from the sheriffâ€™ office arrived on the scene. Ryan Matchinsky, 22, was taken into custody by authorities and transported to Burnett County Jail.

County to hold second warrant resolution day JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

The Burnett County Government Center will hold their second warrant resolution day Aug. 16. The event is an opportunity for people with a warrant to resolve it without being arrested. “Do you or someone you know have a Burnett County Warrant?” a flyer said. “Did you fall behind on your payments and a warrant was issued?” Clerk of Courts Jackie Baasch announced the event earlier this summer after the first event had such a positive outcome. She told the public safety committee in April that they expected maybe five people to come in based on similar events in larger counties, like Bayfield. The warrant resolution day in April led to over 13 individuals coming in and resolving over 20 warrants. Baasch said that some of those individuals were local, but a number of them were not from the area and some came from Minnesota. Warrant resolution day will be held from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Government Center on Friday Aug. 16. There will be attorneys from the public defender’s office. Then an offer will be discussed with the district attorney’s office. After that discussion the warrant holder will go into the courtroom and the case or cases may be

resolved at that point. There will also be a probation agent Baasch said that any and all warrants will be reviewed at that time. The clerk of courts office stated,

“Our goal is to provide a convenient way to resolves outstanding warrants, and if at all possible, close all cases in warrant status.”

Budget season underway at County JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

The August Public Safety committee is the first-time departments begin to submit their budget for 2020. Highlights from the meeting included the Sheriff’s Office looking to fund an emergency response team and the courts asking for a new video conference. Judge Melissia Mogen and Clerk of Court Jackie Baasch made a presentation about the updates needed for the courtroom. Mogen described the current sound system and video conferencing equipment as “archaic.” The sound system in the courtroom has not been updated since 2001 and the video conference equipment was installed in 2005. Baasch put together a PowerPoint presentation that stated the video conferencing system is, “becoming more and more outdated due to technology upgrades.” Mogen told a story about the issues with the current sound system causing issues with court. There was a witness on the phone during court proceedings and they could not hear what they were saying and continued to call back. “The Court needs to hear what

the doctor was saying, if I can’t hear the doctor than I can’t hear the evidence,” Mogen said. They have similar issues with the video conferencing system. “Due to the age of our video conferencing system, our system is out of date and incompatible with out-of-state prisons and mental health institutes,” Mogen said. The courtrooms system is not compatible with Mayo Health Institute in Eau Claire, Amery Behavioral Health and Miller Dwan in Duluth. A new video conferencing system could greatly cut down on transportation costs for transporting individuals from facilities in Barron, as well as Oshkosh and Waupun. Mogen added there is a possibility that over five years the new system could save the county $100,000 just by cutting the number of transports in half. The total cost of the new video conferencing equipment and sound system is set to cost $56,500. The clerk of courts office also asked for capital improvement funds to remodel their front office and customer service window to make the department more efficient and more secure. They have budgeted $18,500 for these updates.

SHERIFF’S BUDGET GOES DOWN The sheriff’s office budget request went down about $86,000 from last year because the department is not buying any new squad cars. The previous administration bought two new squad cars every year and Sheriff Tracy Finch said they have vehicles that don’t have enough miles on them to necessitate replacing them. Finch also discussed re-vamping the county’s emergency response team. The team would be similar to a SWAT team. She also said she has received interest from all police departments in the county. Finch also said the department is looking at buying a used ambulance for transportation of the team. An ambulance would be best because it would be big enough to transport the response team and their equipment. The Public Safety committee approved both budgets along with the budgets from the district attorney office, child support and emergency management. All budget reports will go to the administration committee on Monday August 19.

Students in Siren to receive backpacks stocked with school supplies heading into the new school year Saint Paul, Minn. –– This summer, 25 students from Siren will receive brand-new backpacks stuffed with essential school supplies through the Bremer Backpacks initiative. Made possible by Bremer Bank’s expanded partnership with United Way, this first-of-its-kind initiative ensures more than 5,000 children in need across the Upper Midwest will be well-equipped to tackle the upcoming new school year. During the week of June 10, hundreds of Bremer employees volunteered in shifts to assemble the backpacks at the company’s Service Center in Lake Elmo. Stocked with classroom essentials including crayons, markers, colored pencils, notebooks, pocket folders, glue sticks, scissors, pencil pouches, erasers and pencil sharpeners, completed backpacks were distributed to more than 65 Bremer locations throughout its footprint in Greater Minnesota, western Wisconsin and North Dakota. Launched in conjunction with Bremer’s 75th year in business, the Bremer Backpack initiative represents the company’s philanthropic mission – originally stemming from founder Otto Bremer – to invest in the communities they serve. This initiative also follows Bremer’s recent rebrand, in which a new logo and website were launched to signal the bank’s focus of meeting its customers where they are and in a way that provides value to them. “For 75 years, Bremer Bank has defined its purpose as helping our communities grow and prosper,” said Jeanne Crain, president and CEO of Bremer Bank. “We are proud to continue this Jeanne Crain president and CEO of Bremer Bank commitment through the Bremer Backpack initiative and are thrilled to have a such a dedicated partner in the Greater Twin Cities United Way.” “When it comes to educational success, our vision is that all children are ready to thrive academically, personally and socially,” said John Wilgers, president and CEO of Greater Twin Cities United Way. “We are grateful to Bremer Bank for its support and commitment to helping students in the Upper Midwest start the year off confidently and ready to learn.” According to the 2018 Huntingdon Backpack Index, the average cost of classroom supplies is $637 for an elementary school student, $941 for a middle school student and $1,355 for a high school student. A 2018 survey from the National Center for Education Statistics notes that 94 percent of public-school teachers pay an average of $479 worth of classroom supplies per year out of their own pocket, with some spending more than $1,000.

‘For 75 years, Bremer Bank has deﬁned its purpose as helping our communities grow and prosper.’

Summer Blooms ANNA TREAGUE, RN BURNETT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH

Summer is a great time to spend in the water but there are a few things people should know to protect themselves from water illnesses. Recreational water illnesses are caused by germs that can contaminate water in lakes and other natural water sources. When you swim, you share the water with everyone, and germs are easily spread when swimmers swallow contaminated water (even just a little). Algae blooms can be a source of illness. Algae blooms look like: spilled latex paint, green pea soup, has small green dots floating in it or floating scum. Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae is a type of algal bloom considered to be harmful. Anyone can do this simple test to identify bluegreen algae. Remember to always wear rubber or latex gloves for your protection incase blue-green algae is present. The Stick Test • With gloves on, push a long, sturdy stick into the surface of the algal material and slowly lift it out of the water. • If the stick comes out looking like it has been dipped into a can of paint, the material is likely blue-green algae. If it comes out with long, green, hair-like strands or threads, the material is probably true algae (filamentous green algae). • While accumulations of filamentous green algae may be a nuisance in a lake, they are not a health hazard. This test helps determine if you have bluegreen algae in your lake but doesn’t tell you whether or not it’s producing toxins. When in doubt, it’s best to keep out! If you suspect that a lake or water way has a harmful algal bloom, do not swim, wade, ski boat or fish through algal scum. Always be sure to shower off with soap and water after swimming in a lake. Some common symptoms are difficulty breathing, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Please report any algae-related illness to the Wisconsin Harmful Algal Blooms Program by calling 608-266-1120 or by calling Burnett County Public Health at 715-349-7600.

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

This week, HSBC would like to introduce you to two of their senior pets. Senior pets are great companions for the easygoing set: they often do not have the exercise requirements of younger dogs and are sponges for affection. HSBC offers a discounted or waived d adoption fees for senior a p pets so they may spend ttheir days in a loving h home. Sweet little Macy came tto HSBC as a surrender. T This 12-year-old Bichon F Frise is a bit overw whelmed by the noise a and bustle of shelter life. Macy Macy likes to explore, is polite on a leash and loves a good cuddle. She is also housetrained and is very quiet—if you know Bichons, they are often loud talkers! Macy is friendly with people of all ages but is not fond of loud noise, so a quieter home would be ideal. Willow is a beautiful white and brown longhaired kitty. She loves her food, arriving at HSBC at a hefty 14 pounds. The staff is working with her to regain her girlish figure. Willow is 11 years old and loves people and attention. She is fond of ear scritches and will reach for more if you stop too soon –and anytime is too soon! A senior cat, she is eligible to have her adoption fee waived for a pre-approved family. HSBC can always use Willow donations of paper towels, HE laundry detergent, bleach, disinfecting wipes, dog biscuits, creamy peanut butter and unscented, clumping cat litter. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary to help keep the residents healthy and happy, check out this opportunity! A great bed is a godsend, isn’t it? HSBC’s residents agree. Donate towards a Kuranda bed! Kuranda beds are durable, easy to clean and keep pets off of hard flooring—a bonus for older animals with sore joints.

AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, One year ago this past week, I paddle trolled on Green Bay with my canoe for two days. I slept where I ended up each day, and most importantly limited out on walleye and caught a 47-inch musky on a night crawler harness that literally pulled my canoe around for 25-minutes before I even saw it. For several months I have been thinking about doing a repeat of that trip. I was extremely excited and on the last minute chose to take my two golden retrievers and use my 18.6 WarEagle instead of the canoe. My plan was to spend two nights on the bay and catch a lot of fish. As you are about to read, sometimes things go wrong! Tuesday, July 23 High 84, low 56 I launched my boat at Geano Beach Resort which is about 15-miles north of Green Bay and on the west shore. Geano Beach Resort is a very cool bar/restaurant that has a popular boat launch where the fishing is excellent on the bay. I hit the water about 5 p.m. with a plan of not touching land for 48-hours. I would sleep in the boat, cook in the boat, and most importantly fish in the boat. To reach water that is at least 12-feet you have to motor out about a mile and that is where I started setting my lines, which in this case would be two Flicker Shads and a night crawler harness. It did not take long and I caught a small walleye which I released and then another and just like that a 17-incher which I put in my live well. Here is where the rest of this trip kind of started taking on steady heaps of adversity. My low voltage alarm went off and said I was operating on 9.7 volts while running my motor. I called a friend and a

nephew for advice. Both mentioned either a bad battery, which I have three extras of, or something else electrical. My starting battery is the only one that is not new and close to dark I made the decision to head to shore, trailer my boat, sleep in The Chevy Hotel and figure this out in the morning. There were so many mosquitoes that I could not have my windows open. I tried sleeping in the front seat but could not fall asleep. It was really hot and eventually I kicked the pups to the front and slept until five in the back seat. At five, I unhooked the starting battery and hooked up to one of my trolling motor batteries and all seemed well. Thursday, July 23 High 83, low 60 I was fishing shortly after six, figured I had about 32-hours to live in my boat and my mood was excellent, as was Ruby and her mother Fires. The catching was slow, but I had no cares as I trolled in 13-25 feet of water. At noon I had one 17-inch walleye for the day and so I pulled my lines and went on a four-mile boat ride to do some exploring. That adventure did not produce a thing, so I headed back to where I had been fishing which was about three-miles from the landing, and right away I caught a sheep head, a catfish and then an 18-inch walleye. About 5:30 I noticed some clouds forming to the north and was not too concerned but they were kind of dark. I then caught a 22-inch walleye and was all smiles, but the clouds were getting closer. I sent a text to my buddy Jeff Moll and asked if he heard if there was any weath-

er predicted for the area. Ten minutes after sending the text Jeff answered by basically saying, “there is a small craft warning starting right now, you are going to get whacked.” I started packing ASAP and just like that the southwest wind switched to northeast and the waves were four to five footers. I almost cut my lines to save time but reeled each one in. Folks I cannot tell you how bad this got in the space that I have but it was horrible. I was taking on anywhere from 1 gallon to 20 gallons a wave, my bilge could not keep up, and some of the waves had my boat going straight into the air. There were plenty of other fishermen in the same situation as this was 100-percent a freak storm. I made the decision if I sunk, I could not save the dogs or the boat. Motoring into Geano Beach you go through a canal that is lined with rocks and is at best, 40-feet wide. The high seas made it so you could hardly control the boat or see the rocks, and I would have taken my lower unit out if I got on them. I felt like a super star when I got past the rocks and a man that would become a new friend of mine by the name of Troy LaCount had videoed the entire experience. Geano Beach Resort is close to the water and the high seas flooded it out. There were dozens of us in literal shock, one boat with 22 and 24-year-old passengers sank, and its occupants were rescued by the Coast Guard. This was a balls to the wall, man up or die situation and I am thanking God I decided not to use the canoe! Sunset.

Tips for grabbing the best deals on school clothes Children and parents often look forward to the dawn of a new school year. But before the first homeroom session can take place, parents may need to take their students clothes shopping. Apparel is a large part of back-toschool shopping. Many parents find they need to outfit their kids with new wardrobes each year. Jeans and leggings that fit like a glove in June may only reach mid-calf by Labor Day. To make the shopping process less harried and more productive, parents can employ these strategies. TAKE INVENTORY Go through kids’ wardrobes and see what can be salvaged and what might

need to go. This is the perfect opportunity to put aside gently used, outgrown items that may be passed on to someone else who can use them. Be sure to make a list of any items that the school requires, particularly in regard to uniforms or dress codes. By knowing what’s in stock in the closet, you’ll have a clear idea of what you need to buy. CHECK FOR TAX-FREE DISCOUNTS Some states or cities offer tax-free or discount shopping incentives, which can add up to considerable savings. It may be well worth the effort to stock up on necessities during these times.

CLASSES START SEPTEMBER 3

SIGN UP FOR LOYALTY PROGRAMS If yours is a child who prefers certain brands, sign up early in the year for such brands’ loyalty clubs. For example, the popular retailer Hollister has Club Cali that, with each purchase, grants points toward discounts. Plus, you may be privy to sale advertisements before the general public. GET ENOUGH TO GET BY While certain clothing sales happen between July and August, oftentimes the real savings begin in October, according to the budgeting resource Money Crashers. Wait until that time to buy the bulk of kids’ school clothes. After all, the first weeks of school are

usually warm, and summer clothing will still suffice with a few new items thrown in to freshen up wardrobes. INVEST IN QUALITY SHOES Sneakers and other shoes can be expensive. However, investing in quality brands can help you avoid having to buy shoes frequently. Watch for shoe sales and stock up on coupons. Many stores offer “buy-one, get-one half off” during the back-to-school season. In addition to these tips, save more by shopping overstock stores or warehouse clubs for name-brand items at lower prices.

Back-to-school safety guidelines As children head back to school, they and their parents have lots to do to be ready for the first days of school. Clothing and supplies may be top priorities, but families also should focus on safety as the first day of school draws close. The following are some key tips families can keep in mind to ensure a healthy and happy upcoming school year. SCHOOL BUS SAFETY The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that school buses are the safest way for children to travel to and from school. The majority of school bus-related injuries occur while students are boarding and getting off the bus. Over the last 10 years, the NHTSA says nearly two-thirds of school-age pedestrians who were fatally injured by school buses or other vehicles were hurt after being struck while entering or exiting the bus. While at the bus stop, children must remember to stay at least five large steps away from the road and wait to board until the driver says so. When leaving the bus, students should make sure there is no oncoming traffic and wait for a signal from the bus driver before crossing busy streets.

While on the bus, observe the rules and stay seated at all times. Keep the center aisle clear of backpacks. WALKING/BIKING SAFETY Students may walk or bike to school if the school permits. School tends to begin during the morning rush hour, so students must exercise extreme caution when walking or biking to school. Stick to sidewalks whenever possible when walking. Cyclists should follow the rules of the road, including riding in the same direction as traffic. Choose the safest route as a family and practice it before the first day of school, advises the security company ADT. BACKPACK SAFETY Choose an ergonomically designed backpack to enhance safety and comfort. Backpacks should weigh no more than 5 to 10 percent of the child’s body weight, advises the National Safety Council. Rolling backpacks should be avoided since they are a tripping hazard. With a new school year on the horizon, students and their parents can discuss school safety so the year starts off on the right foot.

DRIVE SAFELY!

Children are on their way back to school, and as a motorist, you will have to exercise more caution on the road. Children don’t always watch for traffic or pay attention to what they are doing, so it’s your job to look out for them. Please exercise caution while driving, especially during school hours or near schools, playgrounds, parks and residential areas.

Thanks for keeping our kids safe.

Reading can help get kids ready to go back to school It is common for children to backslide during summer vacations as they get further away from their daily school year routines. The rigors of schoolwork may come as a shock as children return to school and must reacquaint themselves with studying and doing their homework. But there are some steps students can take to keep their minds sharp as they ease back into school. One of the most effective ways for students to stay sharp over summer is to continue reading. Pearson Education says evidence suggests that children who read for enjoyment every day not only perform better on reading tests than those who don’t, but also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures. Reading for pleasure also bears more influence on a child’s

academic performance than his or her social or economic background. Summer reading assignments may

not be mandated, but children can take it upon themselves to continually push themselves through recreational reading and language arts pursuits. Here are ways that parents can facilitate that process. • Set up a reading time. Children should have a set time each day that they devote to reading. Many find a regular reading time later in the evening before bed or as a precursor to other activities, such as watching television or playing video games, can help make reading a priority. • Keep fresh reading materials. Stock the house with new books, magazines, newspapers, and even graphic novels. The more reading materials children have access to, the more likely they are to become habitual readers. • Parents can lead by example. Par-

ents should read as well. Choose books and periodicals over time spent on digital devices. • Read in the world around you. Stop and read signs, menus, cereal boxes, billboards, and anything with the written word. Jot down difficult words and look them up together and discuss the definitions. • Consult with the teacher. Educators have tools they use to assess reading levels and abilities. Knowing a child’s reading level and choosing the appropriate reading materials for that level can set kids up for success. Reading is an important part of getting into the back-to-school groove. Make sure students set aside ample time for reading throughout the day, even during extended breaks from school.

Rodgers: Packers’ new-look defense has ‘a little more juice’ KEITH JENKINS AP SPORTS WRITER

GREEN BAY— The Green Bay Packers are hoping this is the year — for the first time in nearly a decade — their defense becomes more of an asset than a liability. Green Bay made it a priority this offseason to upgrade the defense, which hasn’t cracked the top 10 in the league in points or yards allowed in the past eight seasons. The Packers added safety Adrian Amos and pass rushers Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith in free agency, and they used first-round draft picks on outside linebacker Rashan Gary and safety Darnell Savage. Early in training camp, defensive coordinator Mike Pettine’s unit is humming. Whether it’s Za’Darius Smith dominating in pass-rush drills or fourth-year linebacker Blake Martinez picking off Aaron Rodgers in the red zone, the defense, for the first time in a long time in Green Bay, is getting the upper hand. “They’re in their second year with coach Pettine,’’ Rodgers said. “I think Blake is very comfortable as kind of the quarterback of the defense. We’ve brought in a lot of maturity in that group.

... It’s just a different feel on that side of the ball. I feel like there’s a little more juice.’’ The last time the Packers had any juice on defense, they won their only Super Bowl of Rodgers’ 11 years as starting quarterback. The 2010 Green Bay defense ranked in the top five in nearly every statistical category and boasted three All-Pros in safeties Charles Woodson and Nick Collins and linebacker Clay Matthews. Safety Tramon Williams, a Pro Bowler on that Super Bowl-winning team, said he sees a lot of those same characteristics in the rookies on this defense, especially cornerback Ka’Dar Hollman, a sixthround draft pick. “He’s a scrappy, strong individual,’’ said Williams, who is in his 13th training camp. “He wants to get up there and fight with these receivers, and that’s a great thing in this league. Because nowadays that’s what coaches want, that’s what they want to see. They want to see you get in the guy’s face and knock the receivers off their routes and challenge these guys, not give up easy completions.’’ SEE PACKERS, PAGE 23

State Health Agency offers tips to keep you and your family safe during severe weather As people in northern Wisconsin are cleaning up and assessing damage following a round of severe weather that caused widespread damage and power outages, the Department of Health Services (DHS) wants to remind all state residents that severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, floods, and other weather events can occur anywhere in the state. DHS has these tips to keep you and your family safe during and after severe weather. BEFORE A SEVERE STORM • Pay attention to weather forecasts and continue to monitor your local media or online weather services when severe weather is in the forecast. Remember, a watch means conditions are favorable for severe weather, while a warning means a storm is on its way. • Share weather information with people who may not be aware of the watches or warnings. This is especially important for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or blind. • When there is a severe storm in your area, it is important to find shelter as soon as you can. AFTER A SEVERE STORM • People can be injured after a storm while walking among damaged or destroyed buildings. Also, storms can damage power lines, gas lines, or electrical systems increasing the risk for fire, electrocution, or explosions.

• Continue to monitor the media for emergency information, including where to get help and areas to avoid. • Wear sturdy shoes or boots, long sleeves, and gloves when handling or walking on or near debris. Be aware of hazards from exposed nails and broken glass. • Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning! Never use items powered by gasoline, propane, natural gas, or things like grills that burn charcoal, inside your home, garage, or camper, and avoid using them near open windows or near a vent. Seek prompt medical attention if you suspect CO poisoning and are feeling dizzy, light-headed, or nauseated.

While the weather in Wisconsin can change quickly and dramatically, families can prepare themselves in advance for all types of emergency situations by making a kit that contains items like food, water, ﬂashlights, and batteries. • Heavy rains from severe storms can cause flooding. Do not drive, walk, or swim in flood waters.

Flood water can contain debris, chemicals, and germs, and just a few inches of water can sweep away a vehicle. POWER OUTAGES • Food safety becomes a concern when the power goes out, especially for long periods. In warm weather, foods will stay frozen for at least two days in a fully stocked freezer, and foods in your refrigerator will stay cold for at least four to six hours when the doors to the appliances are kept closed. • Once power is restored, carefully inspect the items that were in your fridge and freezer. If you have any question about the safety of a food product, remember: When in doubt, throw it out.

As far as your home goes, most all insurance policies cover storm damage Gary Nelson but remember that a deductible goes along with that. You will pay the deductible and the company will then pay the balance of the damage. Some companies, however, may have a higher storm deductible so you will want to check your policy. As far as your vehicles go, comprehensive coverage (or what may be listed as “other than collision”) covers storm damage. If you have this coverage and a tree falls on your car or you get hail damage, you are covered but, again, minus the deductible. It’s a good time to look at your policies so you know how they work.

Also, if you find yourself feeling nervous or uncomfortable over your investment results, you might want to ask if your investment mix is still appropriate for your individual risk tolerance. One more possible question: Ask if changes in your life – such as marriage, remarriage or new children – will affect the way you invest or the goals you’ve set. Finally, ask if you should respond to external changes, such as higher interest rates or new tax laws.

Governor Evers signs bipartisan step therapy legislation into law Wisconsin becomes 27th state to establish law improving insurer practice through common sense patient protections

JANESVILLE–– Governor Tony Evers today officially signed into law step therapy legislation which will greatly improve an insurer practice that previously left many with chronic conditions and health issues suffering in Wisconsin, according to the Wisconsin Step Therapy Coalition, a statewide organization representing individuals with chronic conditions and health care providers. Joined by members of the coalition including patients and providers alike and a bipartisan group of legislators, the Governor held a signing ceremony for the bill at a Janesville pharmacy where many patients will see an impact. “We are extremely thankful to Governor Evers and the many other leaders in our state who made this law a reality to protect thousands with chronic, progressive and complex conditions,”

said Angie Thies, state government relations manager for the National Psoriasis Foundation and Wisconsin Step Therapy Coalition leader. “State leaders joined together in unanimous passage of this measure which has now become law and clearly puts patient concerns first, not last. The Governor and legislators agreed that making patients try-and-fail on multiple medications first before receiving what their doctor ordered was not only a bad insurer policy, but it removed the patient and doctor from the health decision. Now, this law puts strong protections in place to ensure the patient/doctor’s voice comes first and patients are getting the access to the medications they need.” The Wisconsin State Assembly and Senate voted unanimously earlier approving the legislation and Wisconsin now becomes the 27th state to enact a step therapy law. The coalition indicated the bill does not abolish step therapy, but instead provides strict criteria for when a provider can request an override.

“While it’s not uncommon these days to see some issues become contentious, on step therapy, we were able to find common ground and bring all parties together on this issue,” said Thies. “A big part of that was thanks to the strong leadership of early bill sponsors Rep. John Nygren, Rep. Loren Oldenburg, Rep. Debra Kolste, Sen. Alberta Darling, Sen. André Jacque and Sen. Janis Ringhand. They listened, learned and brought everyone together. Patients and physicians, along with insurers also contributed. The result are common sense protections ensuring patients can now get the right medicine at the right time.” For additional information, please visit the coalition on Facebook and Twitter @WIStepTherapy. Members of the Wisconsin Step Therapy Coalition include: AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin; Allergy & Asthma Network; Alliance for Patient Access; American Academy of Dermatology Association; American Diabetes Association; American College of Rheu-

matology; American Lung Association in Wisconsin; Arthritis Foundation; Coalition of State Rheumatology Organizations; Coalition of Wisconsin Aging and Health Groups; Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation; Epilepsy Foundation; Global Healthy Living Foundation; Hometown Pharmacy; International Cancer Advocacy Network; International Pain Foundation; Mental Health America of Wisconsin; Multiple Sclerosis Association of America; National Alliance on Mental Illness - Dane County; National Alliance on Mental Illness Wisconsin; National Infusion Center Association; National Multiple Sclerosis Society; National Organization for Rare Disorders; National Psoriasis Foundation; The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society; US Pain Foundation; Wisconsin Academy of Family Physicians; Wisconsin Asthma Coalition; Wisconsin Primary Health Care Association; and the Wisconsin Rheumatology Association.

Former Wisconsin football player found not guilty of rape PACKERS: Defense coordinator excited for new defensive scheme CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16

Pettine believes the defense this year has more speed, athleticism and pass-rushing talent than in 2018, when his unit ranked 18th in the league in yards allowed. Some holdovers are having strong camps as well, including Martinez and third-year defensive lineman Montravius Adams, whom Pettine called the most improved defender in camp. “We just feel very comfortable with the depth, just the (players) we brought in — whether it was free agency or draft picks. Anytime you can add either experienced players or young, explosive athletes who have been able to do it in college,’’ Pettine said. “So, cautiously optimistic, but I have a feeling everybody around the league is right now.’’ While new coach Matt LaFleur has been asking for more urgency on offense, Pettine has been pleased with how quickly his players have acclimated to the system. “As a staff, those of us who are back and then the new additions, the one thing we did in the offseason was we wanted to make sure we cleaned up some of the issues with the scheme and simplified it,’’ he said. “We have fewer calls this training camp and simplified some things, obviously took some things out. I think that’s helped because the guys we brought in are all football smart. They’ve picked it up quick.’’

MADISON— A jury deliberated for just 30 minutes on Friday before it acquitted former University of Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus on charges alleging that he sexually assaulted two female students. Cephus, 21, was suspended from the football team last August and was expelled from the university earlier this year for violating its non-academic misconduct code. It wasn’t immediately clear how the verdict would affect his status with the school and team. He was charged with secondand third-degree sexual assault for the alleged attack on the women, who were 18 years old when they say Cephus sexually assaulted them at his apartment last year. They testified earlier this week that they were too drunk to consent to sex. Shortly before the case went to the jury, Cephus testified in his own defense. He said that when the women arrived at his apartment, one immediately went into his bedroom, summoned him in and removed her clothes, the Wisconsin State Journal reported. He said the other followed

behind. Cephus said he summoned his roommate and teammate, Danny Davis, into his bedroom to take a look because having sex with two women “was something I’d never done before.’’ He said he asked Davis to take a photo of the women, one of whom was on his bed and the other on his floor, but that angered the woman on the floor, who demanded that the photo be deleted. “It was really dumb,’’ Cephus said of taking the photo, and he blamed the anger that the picture caused for his legal troubles. Cephus testified that he met the women the day they came to his place. He met one while bowling with Davis and another teammate, A.J. Taylor, who was in an on-and-off relationship with that woman. He said that at a bar that night, that woman introduced him to her friend, “and for the rest of the 20 to 30 minutes (at the bar) she was attached to me.’’ He said he didn’t see the two women drink much. When he declined a drink because he was driving, Cephus

said, one of the women told him she wanted to go to his apartment for a “sleepover.’’ On the way to his apartment, Cephus testified, the first woman touched him from the back seat while he was driving, and they held hands. And once there, he was soon in the bedroom with the two women. He said the women later got into an argument, causing one of them to abruptly leave the apartment. On cross-examination, Cephus admitted he lied to police when he said initially that he had taken the photo because he didn’t want to get Davis in trouble for something he told Davis to do. Asked whether Cephus believed the women were “plotting’’ against him, he testified they “could have been.’’ He also maintained that despite saying they were intoxicated, “they knew what they were doing.’’ When asked whether it was Cephus’ responsibility to know whether the women were sober enough to consent to sex, he replied, “They know what happened.’’

Things I need to do today...breathe in and out

Pastor Danny Wheeler Yellow Lake Lutheran

Jesus visits Martha and Mary along the way. “Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed Jesus into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself?”(Luke10:38-40). Martha and Mary … “Martha, Martha you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing,”(Luke 10: 41). Aren’t we all in some

ways a lot like Martha, distracted by many thing? Yet our heart is in the right place. Martha was about her guest’s comfort; her ministry was one of hospitality and welcoming. Where would we be without people like her? Mary was happy listening to Jesus, seated at the His feet. Jesus comes to us where we are in our busy life and invites us to come and sit with him for a while; rest your weary feet, listen and hear. Just like he invited Martha from her many tasks to rest awhile. Maybe, just maybe, what we can learn from Mary and Martha is to stop, breathe, listen, and see

the wonders all-around. Jesus is saying to us today: “Come on and rest, let me take care of you.” Then in that moment we become his guest. He invites us to stop for a moment. “I love you,” He says. This is the one thing we need to always remember. We all live in a busy world. There are things to do and things to plan. When we stop to listen, to take a breath, and reflect, we remember who we are and that God is here and cares for us so very much. Jesus loves you. God cares for us. We are after all a baptized child of God. Be at peace; God knows what we need even before we ask.
