Thompson named WI Historical Society Press director

BY MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
As the library “Bookmobile”
made its rounds across Door
County, it would often park
for a spell in the driveway of a
home where a little girl lived.
Out of the house she would
bound to collect a new pile of
books to devour. In that remote
and idyllic setting, a young bib-
liophile was in the making.
“I’d take a stack of books
out into an orchard, sit
down, and read them,” re-
calls Kate Thompson, who
was recently named director
of the Wisconsin Histori-
cal Society Press.
Like many in the publishing
industry, Thompson’s love
of books began early and has
never wavered. She sounds
exuberant and optimistic, if
not entirely quixotic, when she
talks about “paddling in the
choppy waters of publishing,”
and she speaks earnestly of her
desire to continue using the
acclaimed academic press she
now helms “to give people a
voice.”
Her childhood, her history,
bounding out to recline in
the shade of a tree with a pile
of new adventures, is part of
who she became when she
grew up. That’s the case for
everyone, and that’s part of
why she enjoys working at
the Historical Society Press.
Because “understanding the
past helps us to understand the
time we live in now.”
Thompson spent the past
18 years as the Society Press’s
acquisitions editor and senior
editor, helping to build trade
and education publishing suc-
cess. Many in the book industry
know her from her participation
in Heartland Fall Forum and
other book events.
After leaving Door County,
she worked for presses in Min-
nesota, Maine, and Massachu-
setts before returning to her
home state in 1999 and join-
ing the Wisconsin Histori-
cal Society Press.

Fire breaks out at Cross Plains apartment building

BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune

An early afternoon fire broke out at the apartment

building in Cross Plains at 2712 Birchwood Pass on
Monday, April 2, displacing several residents.
Cross Plains Fire Chief Dale Lochner said the depart-
ment was called to the 12-unit building at around 12:30
p.m. He said half of the apartments were affected by the
blaze, which was halted by a firewall in the center of the
structure.
“The fire got into the roof, so that always makes it
harder to get into,” Lochner stated, adding that the fire is
under investigation. 
Tenant Della Bloom said she was at school when the
fire started. She said she didn’t know if there was damage
to her apartment. “It sounds like we will be able to get in
soon to get stuff out,” she said.
Dee Boyd, who has lived in the building for 10 years
said he has never experience a fire. “This really sucks,”
he exclaimed. 
Lochner commented that although apartment fires
were not common, the department had been on a lot of
calls recently. Times-Tribune photo by Michelle Phillips

City council approves TIF concept for mental health hospital

BY CAMERON BREN

The Middleton Common
Council approved a conceptual
TIF agreement for a proposed
72 bed mental health hospital
from company Strategic Behav-
ioral Health at 3169 Deming
Way. The developer financed

Garone said the company is
based in Memphis Tennessee,
and currently own and operated
ten hospitals around the coun-
try. There are three more cur-
rently in development including
Middleton.
Garone said the company
hired a market research firm
to analyze the need for men-
tal health care throughout the
county and Dane County made
it to the top of their list. Not
only did the research look at
how many beds are available
per capita but hw they are being
used, Garone said.
While quite a few beds show
up in the area a large portion
of them are reserved for crim-
inally charged patients leaving
the area with a greater deficit,
Garone said. But numbers are

from a very broad cross section

Garone said those meetings
included DHS at state and local
level, law enforcement jurisdic-
tions, school districts, existing
care providers, psychiatrists
talking about out-migration and
in-migration and service gaps.
Garone said the picture was
pretty clear there is a need for

education, deescalation train-
ings and getting information
around mental illness,” Garone
said.
The company also spent
time with Dane County Sheriff
department asking abut their
needs. The department said
many individuals incarcerated
are on psychotropic medication.
“For us that is a sign that
there might not be adequate
resources in the community,”
Garone said. “Law enforcement
says how soon can we get this
started.”
The regional facility would
serve Dane County and contig-
uous counties, Garone said.
Garone explained that the

population is 40 to 60 beds per
100,000. Garone says they used
a more conservative number of

262 beds in Dane County.
“We do this all over the
country, this is one of the most
significant bed deficits we have
seen,” Garone said.
Out-migration from Dane
County alone has been increas-
ing year over year, Garone
noted.
During the public input por-
tion of the common council
meeting Chief Chuck Foulke
spoke in favor of the psychiat-
ric hospital saying Dane County
is in serious need for a facility
like this. He said currently in-
voluntary placements are taken
to Winnebago County for treat-
ment and it not only strains
local resources, but is not a way
to treat people having a mental
health episode.
“I am hoping that this pro-
posal will go through. I am
supportive of it for the law en-
forcement reasons, for the peo-
ple that are in a mental health
crisis and I do not see it as a
safety issue for our citizens,”
Foulke said.
Foulke said each trip to Win-
nebago takes two officers and is
about an eight hour round trip.
Garone said he estimated
using six hours per trip that
Madison and surrounding
communities combined spend
$207,000 each year doing this
and that doesn’t include gas or
the impact of taking officers off
the streets.
Elsner said it was important
to remember that they intended
to serve people already in the
community not bring outsiders
in.
“These are people that are
already in the community, we
go to where the patients are, the
patients are not coming to us,”
Elsner said. “When we are in
a community you are actually
safer by having the ability to
treat and serve the people that
are in need in this community.”
“We are not talking about
criminally insane that are going
to break down our doors and
terrorize the neighborhood,”
Elsner added.
During the public comment
period Mark Kienbaum, owner
of Primrose School of Middle-
ton, said he is concerned about
the location of the psychiatric
hospital and being close to day-
cares and other businesses. He
said he believes there is need
for more mental health support
in Dane County, but noted that
when he looked into other fa-
cilities owned by Strategic he
came across a couple cases of
people fleeing the facilities and
in one instance the person never
being found.

motion to approve the concept

A good review can be good.
But only a bad review can

Like it or not, human exis-
tence is subjective. More than
any other species, our very na-

existence, is based upon how
each individual experiences
the world. Cows don’t wander
around wondering if they exist,
whether god exists, whether
beauty exists, or whether the
existence of any of them is
contingent upon the ability to
conceive of them. We do. I do,
at least.
That’s why people often put
the word “arguably” before
claims about greatness, as a
qualifier. It’s just a small ad-

Millennials really are a chal-

and managers have experi-
enced the same things I have;
generally, most millennials are
inexperienced, lazy, not moti-
vated, spend too much time on
their phones, dress inappropri-
ately, etc. Now I am not trying
to indict the whole generation,
but I do think that millennials
need a wake up call; a little ad-

As a generation, your free-

they imposed on you.

there as a mere husk, igno-

Unlike our generation that

therefore lack any work expe-

It’s no wonder you don’t

not for the actual experience).
I always thought hiring an in-

member the reality into which
you are opening your eyes. One
might argue that the world is
there, but 100 percent of what
we know of the world around
us, of our children and our gods
and our friends, is gathered and
understood through our subjec-
tive experiences. Proust even
wonders if maybe the only
thing that holds the doorknob
and the lamp to their forms and
functions as doorknobs and
lamps, is the very fact that we
conceive them as such. And I
wonder if religion isn’t just the
idea that maybe, our forms and

Boring one-star reviews tend
to run screaming into the realm
of politics. “This is commu-
nist propaganda!” is a popular
trope.
Good ones push the bound-
aries of what a review is, and
what it can tell us about our-
selves.
Critics of humorous prose
have it easy. All they really
have to say is “not funny” and
their work is pretty much done.
After all, humor is even more
subjective than most things.
But David Sedaris might be
doing audits before declar-
ing the election results as
final.   Colorado is one of the
latest states who made audits
(done before finalizing elec-
tions) mandatory for all their
elections.  They realized that
audits were not time-consum-
ing or a costly process to im-
plement.  Wisconsin should
be doing these audits as well.
The people of Wiscon-
sin are worth the time and
cost of clean elections.
the front door; heaven forbid if
they had to walk 50 feet. I’ve
had to tell him, “don’t drive
a car more expensive than
the boss’s and go park by the
dumpster so the customers can
park up front.” Common sense
is in short supply in your gen-
eration.
Worse, when you are at
work, instead of plunging in
and getting the tasks done, your
parents have trained you to ask
for detailed instructions and ask
again at every step. By the time
we’re done giving you instruc-
tions, we could have completed
the task ourselves twice over.
And how many times do we
have to explain what appropri-
ate attire is? LuluLemon tights
and jeans with holes are not.
The lack of productivity is
the hardest part though. We’re
lucky if you complete one or
two tasks in a four hour period.

Opinion
the most clever author on the
planet. And his tales of love
and woe reach deep into our
collective souls. Thousands of
people disagree with me, appar-
ently. One reviewer of Me Talk
Pretty One Day even penned
her one-star review directly to
the author, as if in the hopes
that maybe she could convince
him to stop writing: “You think
you’re funny? Meh, not that
funny. Special? You’re not that
special either. You’re a writer,
just another writer. What’s the
big deal?” I know the letters
spell “w-r-i-t-e-r,” but it kind
of feels like a synonym for
“feces.” It seems like she’s sort
of giving one-star to all writers,
not just Sedaris.
Another critic said she was
“appalled” by the book: “[In
my opinion], his joke regarding
his pet’s need for dialysis was
especially scathing since I lost
my beloved 18-year-old shih
tzu to chronic kidney failure
last year.” Her profile photo is
of her with a little dog, prob-
ably before its demise. She
shelved the book in a couple
categories, including “books
set in New York” and “worst
books I’ve ever read.” I really
love all dogs, and I really love
some humans, even writers like
Mr. Sedaris. I think it’s possi-
ble to love them both. I’d like to
point out that this person’s shih
tzu was 126 in dog years, when
it died, which seems like some-
thing short of a tragedy.

ous demand, though, was the
intern who quit before sum-

‘end of summer’ bonus.
This is why I like to hire the
farm kids; they grew up getting
up at 4 a.m. to milk the cows
and feed the animals. After
school, they worked for another
couple hours before dinner, and
after dinner, they went out and
shoveled manure and cleaned
up the barn. Children of con-
tractors are also terrific kids to
hire, because they too grew up
working in their parents’ labor
intensive businesses cleaning
up construction debris.
So here’s what we man-
agers want. A hard working
employee, who shows up on
time, appropriately dressed,
energetic, focused on doing the
tasks assigned, without a lot
of direction, without fanfair or
complaint, without involving
others, and who completes the
tasks on time and on budget. A

Yet another reader is more

didn’t think it was funny. Is
something wrong with me?”
Yes.
My favorite bad review is
for The Collected Works of Wil-

think, this book receives only
five-star reviews and glow-
ing praise, right? I mean, it’s
SHAKESPEARE.
This one comes from Ama-
zon. These reviews are notori-
ous, among authors, because
people often give poor ratings
based on the amount of time the
book took to arrive in the mail,
or whether or not the pages of a
used copy were dog eared – two
things that not even the best au-
thor can really control.
This review is so wonderful I
took a screen shot of it, so I can
look at it whenever I feel low.
The Collected Works of
William Shakespeare received
a damning single star. The
reason? The reviewer, who I’ll
admit is more to the point than
the Bard, explains it in a single
sentence:
“I didn’t order this.”
Fair enough.

Madison man indicted for the smash
and grab burglary of local gun store
BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
The U.S. Attorney’s office
has indicted one man for the
October burglary of a Cross
Plains gun store and suspects it
has a second alleged burglar in
custody.
Khalil Lites, 18, of Madison,
was charged, March 29 in fed-
eral court with conspiring with
two other individuals to take 14
firearms from Precision Tacti-
cal Firearms (PT), 47 Glaciers
Edge Square.
According to the indictment:
Lites and his unnamed
co-conspirators allegedly can-
vassed a neighborhood near the
store and took a car they found
that had the keys in the ignition.
The car rammed into the
store’s front door at 3:30 a.m.
on Oct. 20 allowing three men
to enter the store and remove
firearms.
When the burglars couldn’t
drive the car away, they fled on
foot.
The indictment also charged
Lites with possession of sto-
len firearms and possessing a
firearm while charged with a
felony.
He had previously been in-
dicted for receiving a stolen
firearm.
The government suspects
Keith Harris, 25, also was in-
volved in the PT burglary but
has not formally charged him
with the crime.
Harris has been indicted in
federal court with possession
of a pistol stolen from PT Fire-
arms and felon in possession of

According to court docu-
ments:
Lites, a 2017 graduate Mad-
ison La Follette High School,
was enrolled at the University
of Wisconsin-Baraboo last fall.
Local law enforcement
searched his dormitory room
on Nov. 3 while investigating
an unrelated sexual assault
complaint. They found a 9 mm
pistol in the bedding. The gun’s
serial number matched one of
the firearms taken in the PT
burglary.
Lites was out on bail since
September, and prohibited
from possessing a firearm after
being charged in Dane County
Circuit Court in August with
strangulation and other offens-
es associated with a domestic
disturbance. The UW-Baraboo
also prohibits students from

possessing firearms on the
campus.
After learning authorities
had searched his room, Lites
fled Baraboo in a car driven
by another individual at high
speed. He was arrested in Chi-
cago in December after police
were informed that he was
armed and looking to rob peo-
ple to raise money, Anderson
said quoting Chicago police
reports.
Appearing in court on March
29, Lites’ attorney, Joseph
Bugni, entered not guilty pleas
for his client to all charges, and
unsuccessfully argued for his
client’s release on conditions.
Federal Magistrate Stephen
Crocker continued Lites’ de-
tention saying he is a “danger
to the community and a flight
risk.”
“He (allegedly) committed
crimes while out on bond, a lot
of them, and the case is robust
against him,” Crocker said.

this wouldn’t involve a subsidy

“I am going to bring the

Great Steps

Even though Neurofibroma-
tosis (NF) is more prevalent
than cystic fibrosis, Duchenne
muscular dystrophy and Hun-
tington’s disease combined,
many have never heard of NF
until it affects someone they
love. It is a genetic disorder of
the nervous system that affects
approximately 1 in 2,500 peo-
ple of all races and both sexes
equally.  In simple terms, it
causes tumors to form spon-
taneously on any nerve end-
ings.  Unfortunately, it is a
progressive disorder and cur-
rently there is no cure. Because
awareness is so low, relative to
how common it is, funding for
a cure needs to be dramatically
increased!
Neurofibromatosis Midwest
(NF Midwest), a 501(c)3 profit,
along with local community
volunteer leaders, will host
the Annual “Great Steps Walk
4NF” beginning at Capital
Brewery, Middleton, WI. Pro-
ceeds collected from partici-
pants and sponsors will be used
to improve the lives of children,
adults, and families impacted
by NF through Clinics, Aware-
ness, Research, Education and
Support (C.A.R.E.S.).
The event will kick off
at 8:30 a.m. with registration
for all participants, while the
roughly 3 mile walk itself will
begin at 10:00 a.m. and will
have “goodies” passed out
along the walk path.  At the
conclusion of the walk, rec-
ognition will be awarded to
those raising the most money.
There will also be food, drinks,
fun characters, raffles and si-
lent auction, featuring a broad
assortment of prizes after the
walk.  It is a fun family event
for a great cause!  All are wel-
come!

TIP!
Omega-3s Protect
The Brain
In a recent study, researchers found
an association between higher
levels of omega-3s (EPA and DHA)
and better brain blood flow and LISA KOSTECKI,
cognition. The 166 participants were
separated into two groups, those with higher omega-3
levels and those with lower omega-3 levels. Using brain
imaging, they found a correlation between increased blood
flow in regions of the brain associated with memory and
learning and higher levels of omega-3. The converse was
also true; those with lower levels of omega-3 had reduced
brain blood flow. Experts say it’s possible that relatively
simple changes in diet could improve cognitive function.

Plains. Free to the public in
partnership with the Northwest
Dane Cares Coalition.
The opioid crisis has en-
croached on arguably all levels
of society across the United
States, the federal government
officially deemed it a public
health emergency. An esti-
mated 91 people die every day
from an opioid overdose.
Opioid-related overdoses
are less likely to be fatal
if naloxone, also known
as Narcan®, a lifesaving
opioid antidote, is accessible.
Wisconsin’s Department of
Justice has increased access
to naloxone by negotiating
with drug manufacturers to
make naloxone available at a
discounted rate to Wisconsin
first responders, government
agencies, and community-
based organizations.
Presentation objectives: To
raise community awareness of
the opioid epidemic; Help com-
munity members recognize the
signs of an individual experi-
encing and overdose, and learn
how to respond.

Heidi Olson-Steed, a

MAHS seeks
volunteers
The Middleton Area
Historical Society (MAHS)
depends on volunteer help at the
Rowley House Museum to keep
our door open on Tuesdays
and Saturdays from mid-
April through mid-October.  Financial Group), Kendra
Volunteers serve as docents
to guide visitors throughout
the museum and tell them a
bit about the Rowley House
and Middleton’s past. If you
are interested in volunteering
at Rowley House you should
plan to attend an orientation
meeting on Saturday, April 14,
at 10 a.m. at the museum, 7410
Hubbard Avenue.
Volunteering at Rowley
House can be a fulfilling and
educational experience, and it
can be a great way to help your
community keep Middleton’s
history alive and fresh for
succeeding generations.  The
Rowley House Museum is
open on Tuesdays from 1:00
PM to 4:00 PM and Saturdays
from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Volunteer days and hours are
flexible. Docents are stationed
at the
฀฀ front desk to welcome
guests as they arrive, and
at least one MAHS Board
Member is always on site to
open & close the Museum
and serve alongside other
volunteers.
The Rowley House contains
lots of interesting historical
treasures from the Middleton
area that are on display and
typically 180-200 visitors
tour the Museum every year.
In addition, many local grade
school classes enjoy their visit
to Rowley House ... over 500
young historians per year in
fact.
But, you say, I really don’t
know that much about local
history, or I forgot what I
did know. If that describes
you, please don’t let that
be a deterrent. Serving as
a docent does not require a
vast knowledge of Middleton
history; however, it is a
great way to refresh your
knowledge and perhaps learn
a few new facts about our
past. Background fact sheets
and other materials about
Rowley House and Middleton’s
history are available, and for
more information, volunteers
and visitors can check out

duties. If you have volunteered
before this will be a good
opportunity to see how the
museum has changed with the
addition of new displays. You
will be given handout materials

A trio of
WI authors
This spring, the Middleton
Public Library will host three
book launch events in partner-
ship with the Wisconsin Histor-
ical Society Press. On Thurs-
day, April 12, Scott Spoolman
will visit the library to discuss
his new book, Wisconsin State
Parks: Extraordinary Stories of
Geology and Natural History, a
journey through twenty-eight
parks, forests, and natural areas
where evidence of our state’s
geologic and natural history are
on display.
Then, on Tuesday, April 17,
Michael Edmonds will discuss
Taking Flight: A History of
Birds and People in the Heart
of America, a dynamic account
of ornithological history in
America’s heartland. Edmonds
has combed archaeological re-
ports, missionaries’ journals,
travelers’ letters, early scien-
tific treatises, the memoirs of
American Indian elders, and
the folklore of hunters, farmers,
and formerly enslaved people
throughout the Midwest to re-
veal how our ancestors thought
about the very same birds we
see today.
On Wednesday, May 23, ed-
ucator and journalist Madeline
Uraneck will discuss How to
Make a Life: A Tibetan Refu-
gee Family and the Midwestern
Woman They Adopted. Urane-
ck’s book is a blend of immer-
sion journalism and memoir,
relating the immigration story
of a Tibetan refugee family who
crossed real and cultural bridg-
es to make a life in Madison,
Wisconsin, and the Midwestern
woman they befriended.
All events will begin at 7:00
PM in the Library’s lower-level
Archer Room. More informa-
tion is available online through

“After a lot of shifting of
the defense last year trying to
figure out our best and most

said. “She stepped up in her
leadership abilities on the field

Senior keeper Caroline

“Schultz has moved around

“These six seniors will be

Leonard
Michael
Bierman
Leonard Michael Bierman
- age 87 of Greenback, TN,
formerly of Middleton, WI and
Deerfield, Ill., passed away
peacefully February 9, 2018 at
his home.
His daughters, Jeanna and
Karena will never forget how
much he loved their mother,
Phyllis. Len never stopped
flirting with her, even up until
his last days when he blew her
kisses while the twinkle just for
her still shone in his eye. His
love for her was as genuine and
deep as any love ever shared for
a partner in life and love.
Both Jeanna and Karena and
their respective sons Sebastian
and Townes will carry with
them forever Len’s sense of
humor, work ethic, and genu-
ineness of character. His full
hugs and generous laughter
will be missed by all of “Pa-
pa’s” grandchildren, Sebastian,
Townes, Brook, Lathan, Kath-
erine and Simone, who will all
remember his conviction for
being kind to others and his
quick wit, which added levity
and joy to almost any situation.
Len lived a full and happy
life from his busy time at Cot-
ter & Company in Chicago to
his retirement overlooking the
beautiful Smoky Mountains in
Greenback, TN. He may most
be remembered as the propri-
etor of M&M True Value Hard-
ware in Middleton, WI, where
he put his heart into all things
hardware. He spent many years
dedicated to the community
in the Optimist Club and the
Chamber of Commerce, serv-
ing as President for both orga-
nizations. He was also honored
with a Rotary Foundation Paul
Harris Fellow award for his
service to others. A secret he
kept well-hidden was his affin-
ity for filling-in for Santa Claus
on the Middleton fire truck
during the annual parade, to the
delight of children young and
old. He served as a Boy Scout
troop leader for his church in
Lincolnshire, Illinois. He en-
sured that his daughters would
also “be prepared” by teaching
them to fish, canoe, build fires,
and treat others with kindness
and respect.
Len will be remembered by
many as a smiling character
who was always working on
a project, whether an indus-
try-changing modification to a
hardware component or a new
invention. He was a self-taught
architect and engineer who en-
joyed planning his projects as
much as executing them. He
earned his pilot’s license early
in his career and soared with
his family around the country
on small planes into his 70s.
Len was a member of Christ
Our Savior Lutheran Church.
He was preceded in death by
his infant daughter, Katherine
Frances; parents, Michael and
Marie Bierman of Effingham,
IL; and sister, Lois Ludwig of
St. Louis, MO. He is survived
by his wife of 56 years, Phyl-
lis (née Williams) Bierman;
daughters, Jeanna Nix and
husband, Conrad of Pompano
Beach, FL, Karena Bierman
and Christopher Casas of Evan-
ston, IL; grandsons Sebastian
Van Tassel of Middleton, WI,
and Townes Leonard Bierman
Casas of Evanston, IL; sis-
ters, June Cheatum and Susan
Andes of Effingham, IL; along
with many loving nieces and
nephews. The family wishes
to express their appreciation to
Blount Memorial Hospice and
his special caregiver, Mechelle
York.
Family and friends are in-
vited to celebrate and remember
Len’s life at a service at Christ
Our Savior Lutheran Church on
Sunday, April 29th at 1:00 p.m.
The address is 260 Wade Road
West, Loudon, TN 37774. In
lieu of flowers, donations may
be made to the charitable orga-
nization of your choice.

which came out in 2008 with
the Heller decision [District of
Columbia v. Heller]. In that,
Justice Scalia, a pretty strong
supporter of individual rights,
said that right [to bear arms] is
not unlimited.”
Rosen Heinz believes a group
that finds common ground with
both liberal advocates and an
iconic lion of conservative judi-
cial philosophy might actually
be able to help fix America’s
killing crisis.
“It’s not like we’re out on
a limb here,” she says. “There
is a lot we can do while still
respecting the Second Amend-
ment and still respecting the
current judicial opinion of it,”
she states.
Moms Demand Action for
Gun Sense in America, which
Rosen Heinz is quick to admit
might have an overly long mon-
iker, was formed by a Midwest-
ern mother, shortly after the
Sandy Hook elementary school
shooting.
“A mom in Indiana just de-
cided she had had enough,”
Rosen Heinz says.
What began online later
moved into libraries, commu-
nity centers, living rooms and
town halls. “Since then, we’ve
come out of virtual reality and
into real life. We have chapters
in every state, and something
like 300 local groups,” she con-
tinues.
The group now has more
members than the National
Rifle Association (NRA), she
adds.
“We’re non-partisan, and
we respect the Second Amend-
ment,” she reiterates. “But we
believe we have the right to
change laws to keep us safe.
We’re working for a common
sense approach that reaches
across the ideological divide.”
That approach includes back-
ground checks, and the closing
of “loopholes” that some gun
sellers and buyers currently
use to get around existing re-
strictions. She says the group
chooses not to focus on auto-
matic or semi-automatic weap-
ons, in part because, while they
often grab headlines, they are
not the guns that most often fire
fatal shots in the United States.
Rosen Heinz can cite num-
bers to back up her claims.
“Ninety seven percent of cit-
izens support universal back-
ground checks,” she says. “It’s
not a partisan issue.”
“Ninety six people are killed
every day by gun violence
in America,” she continues.
“About half of those are sui-
cides.” According to Rosen
Heinz, research shows that hav-
ing a gun in the home makes
you five times more likely to
die of suicide.
And most of the guns used,
she says, are not assault weap-
ons.

idence-based,” she states. and Mount Horeb.
