Torberg elected Baldwin fire chief, Fischer named assistant chief

BALDWIN — While voters across the country were preparing to elect government officials, members of the Baldwin Fire Department were choosing new leadership of their own. The department elected Brian Torberg as fire chief and Robin Fischer as assistant chief during its regular meeting Oct. 13. Torberg, who previously served as assistant chief, was the only declared candidate for fire chief and received 14 votes. Fischer, the department’s current chief, received seven write-in votes. Fischer was subsequently elected assistant chief with 15 votes. The leadership changes follow a series of transitions within the department this year, beginning with the retirement of longtime Fire Chief Scott Case in the spring. Fischer, who had been serving as assistant chief, stepped into the chief’s position following a special election. In a July interview with the Union-Times, Fischer said he had agreed to take on the role at the request of fellow firefighters but did not intend to remain chief long term. “Assistant chief was perfect for me. I liked doing it. But the people in the department asked if I would step in (as chief), at least until the next election,” Fischer said. “People have talked to me about maybe staying, but I’m

Quality care opportunities for local service members

MILACA — For the men and women who have served our country, access to quality health care is important. Mille Lacs Health System (MLHS) is proud to help local veterans receive the care they need, close to the communities they call home. As a participating provider in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Care Network, MLHS can provide a variety of healthcare services to eligible veterans through their VA benefits. This means veterans may not always need to travel to a VA medical center for appointments, specialty services or other healthcare needs. The VA Community Care Network connects eligible veterans with participating healthcare providers in their own communities. Veterans may qualify when a VA facility is too far away, a needed service is unavailable, appointment wait times exceed established standards, or community care is determined to be in their best medical interest. At MLHS, veterans may be able to access services such as primary care, orthopedics, cardiology, surgery, imaging, laboratory services, rehabilitation and other specialty care depending on their individual VA authorization. For veterans interested in receiving care at MLHS through their VA benefits, the process typically begins with their VA primary care provider. The VA care team can request a
