Missy Hughes, secretary of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), left, was in Gilman, May 29, speaking with Vault Village owner Lynn Rosemeyer, about the patio space at the business, that was improved through a WEDC Vibrant Spaces Grant. Vault Village and Amanda’s Place also received FIX-IT Grants through the WEDC, while a $250,000 IDLE Site Grant went to the old nursing home, which has since been turned into Hickory Haven Apartments. “We’re excited that you all have started this, and we’ve provided the resources to help support these small wins and efforts you’re making,” said Hughes.

On Thursday, June 19, about twenty members of the community came out to learn about CALM Conversations, which stands for Counseling on Access to Lethal Means. Presented by Dr. JP Jameson and hosted by Prevent Suicide Taylor County with the support of Taylor County Human Services, the seminar focused on how to recognize and respond to suicide risk by reducing access to lethal means, especially firearms. Dr. Jameson stated that as an avid hunter, he wants to emphasize that this conversation isn’t about taking guns away from people. “It’s not about the firearms,” said Dr. Jameson. “It’s because that’s what Americans are using when they attempt suicide, and they’re dying because of it.” He wants people to watch for signs of decompensation in their loved ones, like negative mood or emotional state, hopelessness, sleep issues, or withdrawal. He states that you can simply ask them about their mood and suicide. Most importantly, Dr. Peterson urges people to ask their loved ones about their firearms and offer to hold onto them for 30, 60, or 90 days. He reminded attendees that anyone who is willing to give up access to their guns is doing so voluntarily and with the understanding that they will get them back. “If we can keep the person safe during that short crisis period they may be able to ride it out,” he said. At the end of the presentation organizers raffled gun and ammunition boxes as well as gun locks. The event was made possible thanks to a grant that allowed the organizations to purchase the lock boxes and gun locks. The grant will also serve the community by purchasing a gun safe where people can store their weapons when they do not feel they can be safe. MANDEE ELLIS/THE STAR NEWS
Ryan Pilgrim presented information on common things included in dual-sport athlete agreements. He noted the challenges a student athlete would face with doing two sports. He said that others who have looked into this possibility in the district found the conflicts too much to overcome. BRIAN WILSON/THE STAR NEWS
