A proud supporter of academic endeavors LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS SUPERMAN SAMMY Tuesday, June 17, 2014 — Page 3 (Continued from Page 1) TOMAHAWK POLICE REPORTS SPECIAL EVENTS (Continued from Page 1) 15-1 WNA000 Hospital. A short time later the methotrexate was stopped as it was not working and the decision was made to bring Samuel home. “How does a parent make that decision,” Jennifer recalled of the terrifying decision to bring Samuel home for the nal time so his last days could be spent where he loved to be and not hooked up to machines in a hospital where he had spent much of his childhood. “We never once gave up hope. I would have taken just one day. The best gift of all was the chance to be his mother,” she says. Jennifer said her son’s battle with cancer has strengthened their religious beliefs. Since returning home last month, the Massas have been surrounded by family and friends who have provided support and a shoulder to cry on. Most of their time the past few weeks has been spent holding onto their son as much as possible before they are forced to let him go. “He has such a gentle, old soul in him. He is so gentle the way he speaks and touches you,” Jennifer said. “He is compassionate and sharing. If I am crying he comes to me and gives me hugs.” Jennifer pointed to the love that has come out of Superman Sammy’s battle with cancer as something he will be remembered by. From bringing families and friends closer together, to the many strangers who have kept Samuel and the Massa family in their hearts and prayers, she said the love they have experienced is part of Superman Sammy’s memory that will live on in the many lives he has touched. The Massas said they also want Samuel’s memory to live on by helping other families with children suffering from cancer. They have talked about holding a Superman Sammy Palooza every summer on his birthday, where all gifts would be donated to the Children’s Hospital. They would also like to purchase iPads to donate after a couple years since one served as such a positive distraction for Samuel while receiving treatments. While the surgeries and treatment kept Samuel at the hospital for long periods of time over recent years, he did get to experience a few amazing things for a child during his time away from the institutions. He road on some of his dad’s construction equipment, got to ride in the Tomahawk Pow Wow Fourth of July parade and even took a trip to Disney World in Florida with his family recently thanks to the Make a Wish Foundation. “Even if he is not here with us, he will still be here,” Jennifer added. “It is a miracle to think about all the people he has touched. He is going to a better place. A place where he is nally going to be able to feel better.” No more brain surgeries and endless rounds of chemo and radiation. Instead, an unbridled and everlasting love is what young Samuel Massa will forever be remembered. Memories Car Show. Instead of city employees putting up signage and handling trash removal, car show organizers and Tomahawk Main Street rely on a small army of volunteers who handle much of the services, thus helping keep down costs the city would otherwise spend to provide services. While relying on volunteers isn’t an option to provide law enforcement, it has been discussed that some of those costs could possibly be passed on to organizers and those who benet most from events. Along with addressing event costs, the proposed special events application, which was drafted from ones used in other communities, would require a lead contact person, address trafc control and have emergency response plans in place if need be. The agenda notes no action will be taken at the meeting. The joint work session gets underway at City Hall Thursday starting at 5:45 p.m. The License and Permits Committee will also meet prior to the work session to discuss a review of a Class B combination liquor license that was issued to a Southgate Drive business. The committee requested that Krabby Karen’s provide proof the business had been opened a certain amount of days last year to continue carrying the license, which another business in the community has applied for. If the business cannot show it was open, the city could pull Krabby Karen’s liquor license, making it available to the other business. Currently one other Class B combination liquor license is available in the city that is being reserved making it easier to sell the building it is attached to. The License and Permits Committee will meet at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at City Hall. In other city government action, the Finance Committee is expected to go into closed session to discuss the property at 227 Oneida Dr., where Universal Industries has been located. That meeting is scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday) at City Hall starting at 5:30 p.m. Tomahawk High School Honor Roll Fourth Quarter 2013-14 SENIORS Highest Honors (3.76-4.0): Jacob Blodgett, Kaitlin Gaedtke, Madeline Garrison, Jared Jarvensivu, Tiffany Knight, John Rupel, Amanda Timm, Samantha White, Devyn Wildcat.

As reported by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Ofce A Merrill man, 32, who had been released from the Lincoln County Jail early last Monday morning was back in custody that same night after a deputy investigated a criminal damage complaint in the jail. Jail staff found a secure door in a locker room where inmates change clothes damaged during the early morning hours of Monday. When corrections ofcers watched the video they saw the inmate, who had just nished a 12-day sentence, going into the locker room and then the door being pushed from the opposite side causing damage to the door and handle. The man was located at his house in the city of Merrill late Monday night and was arrested on a charge of criminal damage to property. He was returned to the Lincoln County Jail and released early Tuesday morning after posting a cash bond. Tomahawk reghters along with a deputy and the DNR all responded to a grass re on US Hwy 51 Saturday afternoon. Just after 3 p.m., over a dozen people called 911 to report a grass re spreading in the median of US Hwy 51 south of County Rd D in the town of Bradley. When a Deputy arrived on the scene he found the re being fanned by the winds spreading it both north and south. Tomahawk reghters along with DNR re control units from both Merrill and Tomahawk all worked to extinguish the re. The DNR Ranger found a catalytic converter near where the re started and suspects it broke off a vehicle traveling north. It took about a half hour to put out the re and DNR units worked on hot spots until about 4:30 p.m. Tomahawk police and a DNR warden assisted with slowing trafc as reghters worked. A Merrill man, 47, was arrested Saturday afternoon on a warrant charge. Deputies went to Lion’s Park in Gleason after receiving a report that a man wanted for failing to pay child support was watching the mud races there. When deputies located the suspect he tried to ee but soon cooperated after a deputy displayed his taser. The man was brought to the Lincoln County Jail where he was able to post bond and be released later that evening. A Juneau County man, 29, was taken into custody early Sunday morning on a trafc charge. A deputy was on patrol on County Rd A north of Tomahawk when he observed a northbound vehicle pull off to the side of the road and then make a wide U-turn to go south on County Rd A. As the vehicle made the turn, it went into the ditch but then was able to pull out and keep heading south. The deputy also noted damage on the vehicle and stopped the vehicle to check on the operator. Upon speaking with the driver, the deputy noted the strong odor of an intoxicant and asked the man to perform eld sobriety tests. At the conclusion of those tests the man was taken into custody for a rst offense of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He was later released to a responsible party. The deputy noted the damage to the vehicle was from a previous crash and no other enforcement action was taken. Severe storms moved through the area on Sunday afternoon causing some minor problems. Winds throughout the day resulted in several complaints of trees falling across the road. At 3:45 p.m., a deputy and reghters from the Crescent Fire Department responded to County Rd D in the town of Harrison after lightning struck a power pole. When a deputy arrived he found the still active lines hanging down across the road at eye level. Emergency units stood by for over an hour waiting for WPS to come rectify the situation. Power was knocked out in the area due to the strike. The number of car-deer crashes has gone up considerably again with 15 being reported this past week. On Friday night one of those crashes caused trafc to be slowed for about an hour on US Hwy 51 in the town of Scott. Just after 9 p.m., a Merrill man traveling north struck a deer near County Rd Q. As he swerved to avoid it the trailer he was towing started to come up off the ground causing the boat it was towing to launch off the trailer. Deputies controlled trafc as a wrecker service worked to remove the boat and trailer. Two bear were also struck. On Wednesday a bear was struck by a Mequon man and killed on US Hwy 51 just north of County Rd G in the town of Merrill. On Saturday a second bear was found struck and killed just north of that location near County Rd K.
