The American Red Cross has declared a Blood Crisis

This is only the second time in the organization's history that a Blood Crisis has been declared—a clear sign that blood supplies are critically low.

Every blood donation has the potential to save lives. Your donation could help:
A cancer patient undergoing treatment
A patient in need of emergency surgery
A victim of a serious accident
Someone in our community counting on a lifesaving transfusion

Just one hour of your time can make a life-changing difference for someone in need.

Please consider scheduling an appointment to donate today. Encourage your family, friends, and coworkers to do the same. Together, we can help ensure blood is available when it's needed most.

To schedule an appointment or find a donation location, visit RedCrossBlood.org, use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Your donation could be the reason someone gets a second chance.

With the fair in town, we're excited to welcome lots of visitors to our community. While the vast majority of people are here to enjoy the festivities, increased traffic also means it's a good time to take a few simple precautions.

Before turning in for the night:

🔒 Lock your vehicles.

🏠 Lock your homes, garages, and other buildings.

💼 Remove or hide valuables from your vehicle.

🔑 Take your keys and key fobs inside.

These quick steps can go a long way toward preventing theft and keeping our community safe.

It is with heavy heart and sadness that we announce the passing of retired St. Croix County Sheriff John Shilts Sr. John suffered a medical emergency in Deer Park, WI on July 14. He was flown to the University of Minnesota. He died shortly after his arrival at the hospital.

Sheriff Shilts spent a lifetime in law enforcement, starting with the Somerset and New Richmond Police Departments, and moving on to the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office in 1987. Over the next three decades with St. Croix County, he served in a variety of roles, including the drug task force, Emergency Response Unit, sergeant, captain, and chief deputy. John was elected sheriff in 2011 and was re-elected to a second term. On July 14, 2017, John retired after serving the citizens of St. Croix County for a combined 38 years.

John served with pride, integrity and a genuine commitment to the safety and well-being of others. His leadership, professionalism and larger than life presence helped shape the Sheriff’s Office and the people within it. His friendship, and his many contributions will not be forgotten.

Our hearts go out to his family during this incredibly difficult time. We recognize that his greatest legacy is not only his years of public service, but also the love and memories he leaves behind with those closest to him. We honor John’s life with gratitude for his years of service, respect for his character, and appreciation for the sacrifices he and his family made on behalf of the community. He will be missed, remembered, and forever regarded as a huge part of our St. Croix County family.
