Organization Provides Comfort

Tina Fern Denzer, left, and Brooke Van Someren got together last week to view photographs taken by Heather Lombardo of Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.

Tina Fern Denzer of Woodville and Brooke [Schofield] Van Someren of Baldwin both know the pain of the loss of a child-although in different ways.

Tina and her husband Travis' baby boy Isaiah was born alive at 32 weeks but only lived for an hour.

Brooke and her husband Kirk's baby girl Emma was stillborn at 24 weeks.

Tina delivered at United Hospital in St. Paul, three days after her baby was diagnosed with a chromosomal abnormality.

Brooke's baby Emma also suffered from a chromosomal defect which would cause her death.

Both Tina and Brooke and their families have found comfort in an organization called "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" or NILMDTS, which is a non-profit organization that exists to give comfort to families suffering an early infant loss, according to the NILMDTS brochure. "Parents of critically ill or stillborn babies contact NILMDTS, who then provide them with beautiful, heirloom portraits of their children," the brochure explains.

According to a narrative by Tina, "in June 2006, only eight weeks before our due date, we discovered that there might be something wrong." She was told that her baby had a "chromosomal defect that happens at fertilization and is not compatible with life." Her baby Isaiah was born June 8, 2006 and Tina and Travis had the opportunity to hold him and talk to him. All the special moments "were captured by Heather Lombardo, who volunteers her talents through Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep." With the help of the photographs taken, "we are able to cherish every moment with our little angel," Tina wrote. "We truly felt we were blessed by two angels that day, our precious baby boy Isaiah, and Heather our photographer, who captured all the moments we never wanted to forget. These photos tell Isaiah's story and will one day help tell the story to Isaiah's big brother, Ethan, who is just too young to understand what happened to his baby brother."

In September, 2006 Brooke and Kirk learned after an ultra sound that their baby had a fatal condition and would not live past 28 weeks gestation due to a chromosome defect. After the diagnosis, Brooke wrote, she was contacted by Tina "which was very courageous and strong on her part. It was unfortunate that we would create this friendship through losing our children only months apart and we live only miles away from each other."

Tina told Brooke about NILMDTS, and Brooke contacted Heather Lombardo and arranged a photo shoot. Emma was stillborn October 10, 2006 and Heather came and "took photos of Emma after her delivery."

Not every parent will have the opportunity to utilize the photo service from NILMDTS, but there is an on-line support group called "nowisleep.com" which is available to all parents.

Now, it's been a year since the loss of both babies and Tina and Brooke said they have found some peace and there has been healing after experiencing a loss.

Both women became pregnant again. Brooke had her baby boy Caden Wednesday, September 26 by c-section and Tina is due in January.

October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. Tina said she wants to spread the word of NILMDTS so mothers who experience the loss of a child don't feel alone. "I don't want families who experience the loss of a child to feel alone and empty as I did," she said.

"I didn't feel alone or empty because you helped me through my grief because you had already been there," said Brooke to Tina.

There are currently 2,000 photographers worldwide in the NILMDTS network and they are available to any family with a child with a terminal outlook, said Brooke.

The NILMDTS organization can be contacted through its website: www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org or by contacting either Tina or Brooke locally.

BAMC Eplains Need for Increased Charges

The medical staff and administration of Baldwin Area Medical Center are committed not only to providing the highest quality health care possibleto areas residents, but also to maintain the financial health of BAMC.

In an effort to maintain the financial health of the organization, BAMC monitors the need for rate adjustments and periodically implements changes. A notice of rate increases was published in last week's paper that will go into effect November 1.

In an effort to explain the reasons for rate increases, BAMC's administration has prepared a fact sheet in a question and answer format. The rate increase that will go into effect November 1 "will increase gross patient revenues 10% on an annualized basis," the fact sheet explains. "When annualized, the Medical Center's current increases equals a 3.3% increase per year since the last increase, which occurred in December 2004."

According to the fact sheet, "a rate increase is necessary at this time to offset continued shortfalls in payments from government health programs (Medicare and Medicaid). Rates paid for Medicare and Medicaid patients are prescribed by the Federal and State governments. When measured as a percentage, Medicare accounts for 37% and Medicaid, in combination with Medicaid Managed Care, accounts for an additional 7% of the Medical Center's gross revenues. While Medical Center's classification as a Critical Access Hospital in 2004 has resulted in improved Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, the fact remains that the Medical Center has no control over payment rates for services associated with 44% of its gross revenues.

According to the Wisconsin Hospital Association "Wisconsin hospital patient care (operating) margins dropped to 3.1% in 2006, the lowest in eight years, and a decrease of 39% from 2005. By comparison, Baldwin Area Medical Center's operating margin was 2.0% in 2006, a drop of 66% from its 5.8% operating margin in 2005."

The Wisconsin Hospital Association also reported that charity care rose by 27% from 2005 to 2006, while Baldwin Area Medical Center's charity care rose 30% in the same time frame.

Although "the total charges generated by the Medical Center from inpatients and outpatients for services provided" will increase by 10%, the fact sheet points out that "there are multiple payers, including Medicare, Medicaid and a number of commercial payers, for which the rate increase will result in no additional revenue to the Medical Center. By way of illustration, for every $1 of additional inpatient revenue generated by the rate increase, the Medical Center estimates that it will collect approximately 21¢ prior to adjustments for bad debt."

The effect of the rate increase on patients "depends on the health insurance coverage the patient has, if any, and the specific services used by the patient."

Before the present increase, the last increase in rates at BAMC was in 2004 when an annualized increase of 7% was instituted. If the rate increases are "annualized over the 10-year period, Baldwin Area Medical Center's average annual increase has been 3.63% (unadjusted for cumulative impact)."

The fact sheet includes published rate increases for other hospitals in this region.

Hospital Administrator Greg Burns noted that the rate increase is the first major departure from what had been the norm since he has been in Baldwin. He also noted that Baldwin Area Medical Center is the last remaining independent facility in the region.

Emerald Man Dies in Motorcycle Accident

On September 27 at approximately 7:45 p.m. St. Croix County recorded its 15th motor vehicle fatality for 2007. John F. Rognholt, 43, of Emerald, was riding his 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle eastbound on 210th Ave. near 150th St. in the Town of Stanton when he struck a deer that ran out from the south ditch. Rognholt was ejected from the bike.

He was treated at the scene by New Richmond EMS, New Richmond Fire, Star Prairie First Responders and the St. Croix County Sheriff's Department before he was transported by New Richmond EMS to the New Richmond Municipal Airport. From there he was flown to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minn., by Lifelink Helicopter.

Rognholt was later pronounced dead at Regions Hospital. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The accident remains under investigation by the St. Croix County Sheriff's Department.

Mark Anderson In Serious Condition After Fall

On Sunday, September 16 at approximately 11:00 p.m. Mark Anderson, age 49, suffered a critical injury to his head while at home. Mark was sleepwalking and ended up falling down the stairs to the basement where he hit his head on the concrete. Mark's wife and daughter miraculously woke up a few seconds before Mark fell down the stairs. Both of them heard Mark fall and rushed to his aid. After an unsuccessful attempt to wake Mark they called 911.

Mark was transported to the River Falls Hospital by the Ellsworth Ambulance. Due to the severity of the injury to Mark's head the decision was made to transport him to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for further care. Mark was transported to Regions Hospital by the Ellsworth Ambulance.

When Mark arrived at Regions Hospital he was seen by the emergency room doctors and staff. A neurosurgeon spoke to the family about the dire need to perform surgery to save Mark's life. Mark was rushed into emergency surgery at approximately 2:00 a.m. to stop the internal bleeding on the left side of his brain.

The surgery lasted approximately 2-1/2 hours and the procedure went very well. The doctors were able to remove the blood clots on the left side of his brain without any issues. There is bruising and a small amount of bleeding on the right side of the brain but not enough to cause the doctors to operate.

Mark is currently in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) at Regions Hospital where doctors and staff continue to monitor his recovery.

A Meal Fund has been established through the Baldwin Area Chamber of Commerce, coordinated by Sue Lund at Associated Bank in honor of Mark, his wife Lori and their family of ten children. You are invited to make a donation to the fund by contacting Sue Lund, Associated Bank at 715-684-3266 or email to susan.lund@associatedbank.com. As donations are made to the fund, meals will be purchased at local restaurants and delivered to the family.

The Andersons own and operate Anderson Plant Farm south of Baldwin. Joan Doornink of Hillcrest Motors reports the Anderson Plant Farm's Greenhouse is full of Mums that are beautiful, huge and ready for purchase.

Everyone is encouraged to help Anderson Plant Farm's business by placing an order for mums with Joan who will make arrangements to pick up the orders and get them to you. The price is $13.00 each. Contact Joan about the colors that are available at 715-684-4610 or email to pjwl@baldwin-telecom.net.

House Fire Seriously Injured Four

A house fire early last Friday morning, September 21, as left four people hospitalized, including three seriously and connected to breathing tubes, said United Fire and Rescue Department Baldwin Station Chief Gary Newton.

Newton said the fire call came in from a neighbor lady of the home at 42 230th Avenue at about 1:22 a.m. Newton said the older, but apparently remodeled two story home was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.

Newton said that neighbors had helped get the four people out. Apparently the four were a husband and wife and two children of the wife, a son who attended Spring Valley High School and a daughter who had recently graduated. He did not know the names of members of the family.

Newton said firefighters remained on the scene until 5:30 p.m. Friday when the State Fire Marshal arrived to investigate the cause of the blaze. The house was a total loss, said Newton, with floors collapsed inside.

The Red Cross is assisting family members, Newton said, including a son who is serving overseas with the U.S. military to return home.

Newton said United Rescue was assisted with mutual aid from the Spring Valley Fire Department.

Pine Lake Park Improvement Work Starts Monday

The boat landing at Pine Lake Park will be moved during work by a DNR crew during October. The present ramp angles to the right in the picture above. The new ramp will go straight to the north. The Park will be closed during the work.

Pine Lake Park, north of Baldwin, will be closed for most or all of October for construction of a new boat landing and driveway configuration.

According to Dave Larson, Operations Manager of St. Croix County Parks, the work will be done by a Department of Natural Resources Regional Field Operations (RFO) construction crew from Black River Falls that will arrive Monday, October 1. The crew will consist of from three to five workers including two equipment operators and a dump truck operator. The DNR's contribution has been valued at about $15,000 in labor and equipment.

Work will include a new ramp that will be built to the left of the present ramp. A new driveway configuration will be built, including a loop that will allow drivers to pull their vehicle and trailer around and then allow them to back straight up down the new ramp.

Larson is hoping that after the roadway settles a portion of the driveway can be paved next year. The original plan called for paving the park's driveway in three installments over three years. After paving the loop to the ramp the first year, the second year the road from the park entrance to the fork would be paved. The third year the road from the fork to the picnic area would be paved.

Between the entry and exit area of the boat ramp will be parking for two cars and three vehicles pulling boat trailers. A handicapped parking spot will be located adjacent to the boat ramp back up. Overflow parking will be along the other fork in the park's road, south of the picnic shelter.

The plan provides for boulders to be used to prevent access by vehicles to grassy areas not meant for vehicles.

A state grant for the work is in the form of labor and equipment, said Larson. The county will provide materials and has paid for the engineering.

The park will be gated and closed during the duration of the ramp improvement work, said Larson. The construction work will necessitate stockpiles of rock and dirt as well as use of heavy equipment, and Larson said that closing the park to additional traffic is to prevent accidents and the necessity of the equipment operators having to avoid other vehicles.

Other recent improvements at the park have included two fishing platforms that are reached by stairs and rip rapping the shoreline.

"Thank you for your cooperation and patience during construction," said Larson. He said questions about the work can be directed to the St. County Parks Department by phone, 715-684-2874, ext. 102, or e-mail at davel@co.saint-croix.wi.us.

Car Crashes Into Sign

A Woodbury, Minnesota woman may have suffered a seizure before her SUV demolished a pumpkin stand and then crashed into the sign at the Kum & Go in Baldwin, officials at the scene said last Friday. She was taken from the scene by ambulance and then transferred by air ambulance to St. Paul. Both air bags deployed in the vehicle, but she was the only occupant.

Northern Metal Fab To Celebrate 20th Anniversary

Bev and Mark Lightfoot are pictured outside the Northern Metal Fabricators, Inc. facility in Baldwin's industrial park. The company will observe its 20th anniversary with an open house Saturday from 10:30 to 2:30 featuring tours and refreshments.

Northern Metal Fabricators, Inc. was founded 20 years ago and to mark the occasion will host an open house on Saturday, September 22 from 10:30 until 2:30 for employees and their families and community members. The open house will include tours of the facility in the Baldwin industrial park at 510 Vande Berg Street as well as refreshments.

"We're happy to invite folks in so they can see what we do here," said Human Resources and Safety Manager Dan Bushman. "People who like to see how things get made will think this is heaven."

The company was founded in 1987 in North Hudson. In 1991 owner Mark Lightfoot moved the company to a new 23,000 square foot facility in the Baldwin industrial park. The size of the facility has since grown to 71,000 square feet. "We've grown as Baldwin has grown," said Bushman.

Currently the company employs 75 to 80 people.

"We are a metal fabrication job shop specializing in large tanks and equipment for the environmental industry," said Bushman. He said about 70% of Northern Metal Fabricators' customers are companies that engineer pollution control systems, which are mostly regional, but some across the country. The company has also sent products to Alaska and China.

Vandals Responsible For Power Outage

St. Croix Electric Cooperative, Hammond, is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for a major power outage Thursday morning, September 13.

According to Co-op CEO, Mark Pendergast vandals cut through the locking system on a high voltage transmission line switch near River Falls at 12:20 a.m. The switch was opened, resulting in a power outage for 3,500 Co-op customers for 90 minutes. The blackout stretched from north of River Falls to the Somerset area.

The River Falls Police Department is investigating the incident along with the transmission security division of Dairyland Power Cooperative, owner operator of the high voltage transmission line network serving the Co-op.

Pendergast said operating the high voltage switch under load was a brazen criminal act and is being reported to the Department of Homeland Security. Anyone with information about the persons responsible for this incident are asked to contact the River Falls Police Department.

Closing TIFs Will Result In Excess Funds Distribution

Several taxing jurisdictions will be receiving a pleasant surprise soon.

The Village of Baldwin has closed two TIF districts-numbers one and three-and there are excess funds in each of them. So the taxing jurisdictions that didn't receive the "increments" in taxes due to the increased valuation in the district during their lives, will receive the excess fund that were collected over expenses. The excess funds will be apportioned based on the average of the municipality's share of tax collections.

TIF district one was created for the village's original industrial park. TIF district three was an overlay of district one with some additional territory.

That is a pretty hefty amount in some cases.

From district one, St. Croix County will receive $49,897; the B-W School District will receive $126,800; VTAE district will receive $14,564; and the Village of Baldwin will receive $91,597.
From district three, St. Croix County will receive $52,931; B-W will receive $156,740; VTAE will receive $18,685; and the Village of Baldwin $119,115.

Each district will retain $5,000 for a final audit.

Sean Lentz of the financial consulting firm of Ehlers and Associates said the excess funds reflects the success of the districts. "They paid off their costs and they have excess funds so they are paying it out. This reflects that those districts did very well over the years." Lentz also commented on the process of forming a new TIF district for the development at the southeast of the I-94/USH 63 interchange. He said the joint review board had been scheduled for last Thursday and that will be followed by state certification. Because the district includes some of the land in the development on the southwest quadrant of the interchange, it will generate some income right away.

United Way Kicks Off Fundraising Campaign

United Way St. Croix Valley launched its 2007 Fundraising Campaign at a Rotary Club of New Richmond luncheon on September 10. Other campaign kick-off events will occur at the Hudson Chamber of Commerce Spotlight at Kilkarney Hills Golf Club in River Falls and at area businesses.

United Way St. Croix Valley has named four local couples as this year's Campaign Chairs. The campaign chairs are: Mike and Carla O'Connell, Baldwin; John and Rose Knutson, Hudson; Jim and Carol De Young, New Richmond; and Phil and Mary Betzel, River Falls.

"The United Way has been a cornerstone for many organizations," claims Baldwin area co-chair Mike O'Connell. Mike has seen the results of United Way grants firsthand many times as a volunteer with ambulance services and fire departments. Carla O'Connell praised the United Way for their steadfast support of organizations such as the St. Croix Family Resource Center where Carla is a board member. Carla feels that "without the United Way, many not-for-profit organizations would not be able to provide their services. They are the backbone for those in need!"

"We are grateful that our community chairs are lending their voices to help us spread the word about everything that United Way is doing to strengthen Pierce and St. Croix Counties," said Board Chair Jim Dahl. John Coughlin, Executive Director put it this way, "This United Way is committed to ending hunger, making sure that people have a place to live and ensuring that our children are ready to succeed in school. Those are big goals but we are making progress. No kid should need to worry about when they'll eat or where they're going to sleep and every family should have the support that they need to help their children be prepared for school," he continued.

Governor Jim Doyle has designated the months of September and October 2007 as United Way months in Wisconsin in recognition of the start of fall campaigns by United Ways throughout the state. His proclamation emphasizes the role of United Ways in Wisconsin as a primary provider of funding to measurably improve lives and build stronger, healthier communities. Doyle is urging Wisconsin citizens to contribute generously.

United Way St. Croix Valley has set a campaign goal of $1,175,000 and will raise funds September 10 through November 16. The annual campaign will fund the United Way initiatives and six dozen agency programs supporting our communities. This year's Campaign Chairs urge everyone to become involved in volunteering and donating. Interested persons should call United Way at 715-377-0203 or visit the website at www.unitedwaystcroix.org.

Rush River Lutheran Installs New Pastor

Gerd Bents is the new pastor at Rush River Lutheran Church. He was installed at a service on Sunday, September 2.

After two successive interim pastors, Rush River Lutheran Church
installed a new full-time pastor, Gerd Bents, on Sunday, September 2.

Bents, who grew up as a pastor's kid, said that he was not always certain that he wanted to be a pastor. He received his college degree in social work and psychology then worked for Girls and Boys Town where he managed a 24 hour crisis shelter for kids. He followed that with a masters degree in education and school psychology and then received his call, Pastor Bents said.

"I spent lots of time thinking," he said, "and I can say with certainty that God has called me into this vocation."

Bents grew up in a couple small towns in Minnesota and Iowa and graduated from high school in Northwood, Iowa. He attended and graduated from Dana College in Blair, Nebraska, then worked at Girls and Boys Town and worked with kids "who were not having good weeks."

After his year at UW-Stout where he earned his masters degree "I realized I enjoyed school psychology and public education but realized there are deep spiritual needs we as a people have" which are not all addressed at school.

Bents attended Luther Seminary in St. Paul from 2002-07 and graduated in May of this year. The call to Rush River Lutheran is his first. "I'm very excited to be here," he said. "The congregation is extremely welcoming," said Pastor Bents and added that is has "a sense of future stability."

He added that he realizes the church is not built around the pastor, but the pastor and congregation are interdependent. Pastor Bents said his first and foremost goal at Rush River Lutheran is "preaching the gospel-preaching God's love for us."

He noted that the congregation is very interested in youth and young adult ministries, so he will be engaged in "building up young people to be leaders," and also encouraging lay leadership in the church. Another focus will be visitation of the homebound.

Pastor Bents was ordained the day before he was installed at Rush River Lutheran. He officially started work there on August 1. Pastor Bents lives at present in Hudson but is looking for a place closer to his church. He has two children, Raena, 5, who just started kindergarten in River Falls and Harm, 3.

Among the activities Pastor Bents enjoys in his spare time are playing basketball, lifting weights, kayaking, fishing, golfing and camping.

Rush River Lutheran Church is in Pierce County, just north of STH 28 on CTH Y. Pastor Bents said everyone is welcome to attend church there. Services are 10:30 a.m. on Sundays.
