LAS VEGAS—“It sounded like a snare drum solo,” said Grantsburg native Mark Bergman of the treacherous gunfire that brought Las Vegas and the rest of the United States to its knees on Oct. 1. Bergman graduated from Grantsburg High School in 1997, attended UW-Stout, and eventually moved to Florida where he is an IT consultant. He also serves in the National Guard. He arrived in Las Vegas on Sunday, Oct. 1 for an IT conference. By 9:30 p.m. Bergman was in his eighth-floor Mandalay Bay Hotel room. The shooting began less than 30 minutes later. He originally thought the sound of gunfire was an instrument. “It just kept going and going. That’s when I realized it was gunfire.” Mass shootings in the United States are news notifications on cell phones, or big, black, bold

Couple plans microbrewery in downtown Grantsburg
SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
TOWN OF SWISS— The green light for ATVs has been shining bright for several months now. The domino affect began in the early summer when the County Board approved a five-mile stretch of County Road B from the Village of Siren limits to Immee Road. In early October, the Siren Village Board announced all village roads will be open to ATV travel. One of the main reasons for both of these initiatives stems from the understanding that Burnett County relies heavily on tourism income. As reported last week, Siren Village Board member Rick Engstrom announced at the monthly meeting, “There is tourism money to be had. That’s what we live on up here.” This sentiment was echoed during the latest Infrastructure committee meeting as the board motioned and approved the request for four routes in the Town of Swiss. The routes: County road H from State Road 77 to Cemetery Fire Lane; County Road H from State Road 35 to Burls Trail; County

they have purchased the Lions Club building on the west end of Madison Avenue (Main Street) in downtown Grantsburg. Among their plans for the building may be a microbrewery, a coffee shop and patio overlooking
Memory Lake Park. On a recent website posting, Nicki Peterson wrote, “Ben and I are excited to share that we recently purchased this cool old brick building from the Grantsburg Lions Club.

Danbury wants to keep giving SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
DANBURY— Last year marked the 21st anniversary of George Costello (Danbury Fire volunteer) organizing the Danbury Hunter Supper. Unfortunately, Costello is hanging his hat. However, it is not from a lack of effort. “It was a tough decision,” said Costello. He explained it is due to dwindling numbers of participants and an increase in money needed to run the event. On average the event saw 200 people walk through the door. Last year saw that number drop to 70. While Costello won’t be able to head the organization any longer, he hopes that a local organization will take the reigns and try and keep the tradition alive. The purpose of the Hunter Supper is to raise money for those who are less fortunate. He feels that despite a families’ economic standing, everyone deserves to eat well, be happy, and enjoy a wholesome

Polk County crash claims the life of 38-year old Aundria Schadow of rural Balsam Lake.
BALSAM LAKE— At Approximately 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 14, Polk County dispatchers received calls regarding a two-vehicle accident with serous injuries on U.S. Highway (USH) 8 near the intersection of 170th Street in the Town of Balsam Lake. On arrival, officers determined a Chevrolet pickup truck that was headed eastbound on USH 8 had collided with a Buick sedan that was entering onto USH 8 off of 170th Street from the south. Aundria Schadow, 38, rural Balsam Lake was operating the 2009 Buick and was pronounced dead at the scene. Jordan Klatt, 16, Emerald, was operating the 1998 Chevrolet and his father David Klatt, 44, was a passenger in the front seat. The driver sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries. He was transported by ground ambu-
InterFaith Caregivers and the student council at Webster High School. The students then use the money to buy holiday dinner supplies for low-income families. “I don’t want to see this end,” he said. Held in the Swiss Town Hall, Costello and several volunteers – including Webster school cook Daisy Eckstrom– prepared meals that were provided from the wallets of caring community members and meat donated by Wayne’s Food Plus. As a nod to Wayne’s, Costello would use some of the money to purchase $50 gift cards to Wayne’s for families in need. “We worked hard together,” he said of all the volunteers. He urges any individual or group interested in taking up the task of running the Hunter Supper to contact him at Swiss Town Hall (715-656-3030). He’s willing to offer guidance and maybe help coordinate. “It is time consuming, but I’m hoping a group steps forward.”
lance to a Twin Cities’ metro area hospital. The passenger sustained minor injuries. Alcohol has been ruled out in the matter of the occupants of the Chevrolet but has not been determined in the matter of the deceased. This is an ongoing investigation. USH 8 was shut down and diverted for a couple hours after the incident. The Polk County Sheriff’s Department would like to thank the following agencies for assistance: Polk County Medical Examiner’s Office, St. Croix Falls Police Department, Fire Department and First Responders, Lake Region EMS, Osceola Ambulance Service and Fire Department, Balsam Lake Police Department, and North Air Care.

The Arts and Crafts Show non-profit held a donation event at the Kilkare Lodge at Voyager Village on Oct. 12 to offer local organizations financial support. SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
VOYAGER VILLAGE— Over Labor Day weekend, some 100 vendors set-up shop at the Village Players’ Theatre grounds for the annual craft show. The vendors are those like Robert Housman who sells his hand-carved wooden rocking horses. While rocking “horses” is the proper term, his pieces could also be called rocking hippos, lions, giraffes, and on and on. Other vendors sell original paintings, homemade vinegars— everything has the hand-made, homey touch. On average, the sale sees upwards of 8,000 people each year. “It is a popular sale,” said Don Hallberg, chair of funding for the Voyager Village Arts & Crafts Show non-profit committee. Each year, the Arts and Crafts non-profit organization hosts the craft show and collects a certain percentage of each vendors earnings. The money collected is then dispersed among local businesses and organizations in the form of donations.
This has been happening for over 40 years, according to Hallberg. In that time, over $500,000 has been contributed to area agencies. This year alone, the non-profit awarded a total of $14,000 to area organizations. The Arts and Crafts committee consists of Anne Wood (Treasurer), Linda Swanson (Secretary), Vicki Strove and Terry Minor (chair members). This year’s recipients are Webb Lake Fire and Rescue, Webb Lake First Responders, Jackson Fire and Rescue, Scott Fire Department, Connection Store/Food Shelf, Burnett County Family Resource Center, Yellow Lake Food Distribution, Webster Elementary Backpack, Ruby’s Food Shelf, A&H Ambulance Fund, InterFaith Caregivers, Salvation Army Faith House, Alzheimer’s Day Program, Larson Family Public Library Program, Burnett County Family Literacy, Spanish Club, Cub Scout Pack 564, Burnett County Home Education, Humane Society, Voyager Village Ski Club, and Voyager Airport.

... What to go on about? Kneeling during the anthem is... The president reminds me of... Democratic socialism seems to me... This is fun; I’ll add a few more. My thoughts on climate change are... Well, the electoral college is... To be realistic, when would one ever see a donkey and an elephant next to each other? So, anyway, if I could be a different person for one day... I’d be Bob Dylan. Lost yet? Good, let’s all spend a few moments thinking thoughts about cruising down (up?... either way) Highway 61 in a convertible while Sentinel jamming to Johnny Cash, Elvis or even Hank Williams. Editor Dylan did say after Hank WilSean Devlin liams died, “It was like a great tree had fallen.” According to the Telegraph, anyway. I pick Bob Dylan (nobody even asked me) because I’d like to be as transcendent as he so often proves to be. “There is nothing so stable as change,” he said at one point in his life. And, I’d imagine he’d say it again today if asked. When initially writing this I thought for a long period about that quote, what to follow it up with. I think I’ll just leave it. Another of my favorite Dylanisms is, “I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else.” Every night is a series of revelations as I ponder the new information I’ve gathered. How the court system works: ways by which to combat invasive species: advancements in mental health study: the importance of tourism to a county: learning why someone is left, right, or indifferent. His songs are very much like revelations, always working through a new thought and trying to understand that way we all work. A gentleman in the community has told me on multiple occasions that I write, at times, opaque columns. Well, I’m unsure if he favors them, dislikes them, or just simply tolerates my words (I think that’s his point). However, it is my hope that whatever has lined this column over the past seven months has been worth the time of those who have read it. I tend to be a bit cloudy because I value conversation in order to discover new ideas, understanding. I try to reserve a judgment and suppress immediate reactions. Because, like Bob Dylan said, “Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.” Take care, Burnett.

The night we called on the crazy lady October is flying by, with the scariest part ahead — Halloween. I was recalling some of the Halloweens of my youth and remembered an incident that occurred in the fall and scared the Dickens out of me. Here is my tale of the night my friends and I knocked on the door of the scariest house in town. There was an old maid that lived alone a couple doors down from the grandparents of one of my childhood friends in an old house with an overgrown yard. The myth and legend surrounding this lady ranged from From the Publisher’s a local Lizzie Borden to a misunderstood, slightly crazy spinster. Desk The house was across the street from several stops on my morning Tom Stangl paper route, so seven days a week I h d the h chance h had to get my fears reinforced. If she happened to be awake at 6 a.m., what would stop her from kidnapping, torturing and killing a paperboy? Hey - when you are 11 years old and sleep deprived, the imagination tends to get the better of you sometimes. My friend Jeff was obsessed with the crazy lady in the spooky house. He came up with what he thought would be the perfect plan: a frontal attack, knocking on the front door. The ruse we would use, wearing hats and coats, was that we were from a neighboring town going door to door recruiting scouts. Yes, it was a stupid plan. So stupid that it might just work! We settled on a night near Halloween. We felt it would be safer if one of Jeff’s brothers would wait on his grandparent’s front porch — just in case the old lady got the drop on us. Besides, the youngest brother was too scared to go in the group onto the porch.

The night came, we had our hats (Jeff wore a cowboy hat — he thought it would be more convincing) and what remained of our nerves and we stepped on to the creaky boards of the front porch. Jeff knocked on the door and we stood, petrified with fear as he knocked on the door. What happened next convinced us to never, ever talk about the crazy lady ever again. After two knocks (there might be animals trapped, we HAD to follow through), the front door opened. The door creaked open, revealing nothing but the dark silhouette of the crazy lady. (Brilliant move leave the room dark so we can’t see the corpses) Jeff, to his credit, gave his pitch, using a Texas drawl (I guess the cowboy hat took over). There was a brief period of uncomfortable silence and the crazy lady closed her door. We ran as fast as we could, and would later boast of our bravery. It turns out the crazy lady wasn’t a killer, just a crazy old lady. She died about 20 years ago, and I don’t recall any bodies being found when they moved her home. Later, I would read the novel and see the film adaptation of Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” and realize that I had nearly come face to face with what I had imagined to be our town’s Boo Radley. It’s a universal truth — you never really know a man (or woman) until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. As always, I welcome your input.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875
The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

It’s a Chili time
What a nice time I had taking photographs at the Jackson Firefighters Annual Chili Cook-off last Saturday evening. It was my first trip to that portion of the county. The drive itself, up Hwy. 35, then east on County Road A to County Road C, was a treat to the senses with colors just beNewbie in yond peak, the spicy smells of the North- autumn and lakes I had not woods seen before. Lori Callahan How lucky we are to live in such a natural and beautiful area! Establishment names previously seen only in print now had a “face,” and many of them had full parking lots. It surprised me in this seemingly sparsely occupied area of forest, farm and water. Though I arrived far too early, having mistaken the event’s start time, it gave me an opportunity to relax after an already full day’s work and observe those coming in with kettles, crockpots, boxes and more. These were the people who had spent the better part

of the day, or days, in preparation of their entries. It was evident the Jackson area is a close-knit community – greeting, laughing and smiling as they gathered. Couples, families, groups of all ages began to pour in and soon a line formed that extended outside the door. At a point it appeared I could stand inside since it was raining, I gathered my notepad and the camera and headed to the door. A couple of retirement age stood outside and the woman held a muffin tin above her head as a rain cap. I noticed several people carrying tins, and it took me a little while to realize their purpose: to hold for taste samples of the chilies. I visited with this couple out in the rain for a few minutes as they waited for their friends to arrive. Part-time residents of Voyager Village, this was their first chili cook-off event, too, and they gave me the scoop as they knew it. Once inside, I meandered through the crowd while chili entrants served long lines of tasters and judges. The tables were nearly full already. I stopped and chatted with individuals and families, snapping photographs of festively dressed contestants, chili-faced

children and others. “You must try ‘A,’ ‘C’ and ‘E,’ ” one man told me as he stood, designations of three of the chilies in contention, 12 different chilies filling his tray in hand. “E” was exceptionally good. Another gentleman said that certain bugs were included in one of the recipes. “Relatives of worms,” he said with a grin and twinkle in his eye as he raised a spoonful to his mouth. Regardless, the fire hall was full, and the smells, tastes and good, clean fun were delighting all in attendance. On the drive home – dark by then – a flash of white fur zipped from the left across Hwy. 70 and was struck by my front, right tire even though I had attempted to break and avoid it. “Oh,” I said out loud, feeling bad and hoping someone wasn’t now missing a cat, though I was uncertain what small animal had the misfortune of meeting my 55-mph rotating tire. Continuing on, the thought came to mind, “I wonder if any road kill ended up in those chilies?” That’d be okay with me – as long as it wasn’t skunk. Then again, how many people knew about the worms?

No public comments To the Editor: On Monday, Oct. 9 at the Grantsburg Village Board meeting, Village President Larry Ebersold stated (without a vote from the rest of the board) that there would no longer be any public comment allowed. While this is legally permitted, I do not feel like it is morally permissible. We live in a representative form of government, and as elected officials, the village board should be open to hearing from their constituents at all reasonable times, which is especially the case during board meetings. Being in a position of public trust comes with some scrutiny from the public. If Larry is unable to handle that scrutiny maybe he should vacate the position he is currently occupying, as in my opinion he is not fit for it. Vincent Zilka Grantsburg
Ghosts and goblins are popping up everywhere. I guess it is time to fill the candy dishes. Our Border Battle party to watch the Packers/Vikings game on Sunday was a huge success. There were plenty of goodies to fortify us for the entire game. One group did have sad faces when the game was over, but no one mentioned it and we all left as friends and fans of the game. It was a great time and we look forward to the next one. There were 16 bingo players who enjoyed the treats furnished by Opal. Peggy was the winner of the big pot. Bingo is played at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. There is always room for more. Joanne was the winner at pool and Millie was the winner at dominoes. They play at 1 p.m. every Thursday. Come in and join the fun. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery go to Harry who just
had surgery. Heal fast and hurry back – you are missed. Wii bowling was again lots of fun. Pat had high individual game, 268; Dana had high individual series, 459. The Miss Pins had high team game, 780, and The Shakers had high team series of 1,486. Splits picked up were: Darrold 5-7-9, Gordy 5-6-10 and 2-4-10, Sharon 5-7, Linda 5-7-10 and 5-7, Jim 5-9-10. Remember, lunches are served at 11:30 a.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Be sure to call in the day before for your reservation. Stop in and pick up a menu.

Wisconsin Republicans are trying to make the case that bringing back largescale hemp production would be a winner for Wisconsin agriculture and rural parts of the state. Bills backed by Republicans have appeared in both the Wisconsin Legislature and Congress. The state legislation, from GOP Sen. Patrick Testin and Rep. Jesse Kremer, also received bipartisan support. The bill’s authors highlighted the economic advantages it could bring to rural areas of the state. “At a time where we are spending more on new high-tech industry in our urban areas – Foxconn, for example – it’s high time we reintroduce a commodity that has the potential to grow our ag industry, create new high-tech careers and allow Wisconsin to be a manufacturer of hemp products in the Midwest and nationwide,” said Kremer, R-Kewaskum. Wisconsin in the last century was a leading producer of hemp, but saw demand drop following World War II. In 2014, the federal government signed off on a bill to give states the ability to run hemp research programs. Meanwhile, national lawmakers are now working on a bill backed by U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Glenbeulah, that would exclude industrial hemp from the Controlled Substances Act’s definition of marijuana. Grothman says the decades of banning its production has hurt American farmers. The bill would legalize the production of industrial hemp, which is used in products ranging from construction materials to plastic composites. It would do so by excluding industrial hemp from the Controlled Substances Act’s definition of marijuana. Grothman, R-Glenbeulah, says the level of THC in industrial hemp is less than 1 percent. “Non-narcotic industrial hemp makes our economy
stronger by providing an additional revenue stream for farmers, and is useful in other areas like construction and manufacturing,” he said. Kremer, joined by representatives from the ag industry, applauded those efforts while also touting hemp’s uses, including in the textile industry and as insulation for homes, brake pads and other health benefits. They also addressed a key misconception about hemp: that it, like marijuana, will also produce a high. While they are both forms of cannabis, the low percentage of THC in hemp means it won’t happen, they said. Calling it an issue of “mistaken identity association with its recreational cousin,” Wisconsin Farmers Union Government Relations Director Kara O’Connor said the myth led to farmers losing out. “Farmers lost one option for financial viability, one additional option in a crop rotation, an additional option for developing processing and value-added enterprises in rural communities,” she said. The bill seeks to make sure that growers don’t have a drug history. Under the state bill, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection would be required to issue licenses that authorize the growing and processing of industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is defined as the plant Cannabis sativa with no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis. The bill requires an applicant for a license to provide the GPS coordinates of the land on which industrial hemp will be grown or processed and to pay a fee for the license. It also requires DATCP to obtain a criminal history search from the state Department of Justice for each applicant and prohibits DATCP from issuing a license to a person if the criminal history search shows the person has been convicted of violating the controlled substances law.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS
Did Gov. Walker’s team shut internal affairs unit down for exposing Lincoln Hills problems? MADISON—The leaders of a Department of Corrections Internal Affairs Unit that was recently shut down by Gov. Scott Walker’s administration say changes were ordered because they had done too good a job at exposing problems at the state’s juvenile prison. A Department of Corrections spokesman discounted that contention, saying the decision to close the unit was unrelated to the wide-ranging internal
investigation into Lincoln Hills School for Boys and Copper Lake School for Girls. The department’s Office of Special Operations in 2014 launched a review of those two juvenile prisons, which share a campus 30 miles north of Wausau. It uncovered extensive problems that grew into a criminal investigation that has been ongoing for nearly three years. Walker’s administration shut down

The leaders of that office saw it differently, according to a Department of Corrections report that was recently released to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel under the state’s open records law.

Webster HS takes proactive approach to mental health SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
WEBSTER— In late October, Webster High School will be utilizing Y screening, a computer based mental health screening application. Both Webster and Siren schools have been working with Aurora Counseling, and Burnett County and Polk County Mental Health Departments to make this vision a reality. This project is in part inspired by positive results realized by St. Croix Falls and other Polk County schools. Webster HS counselor Renee Ones explained this type of mental health testing is a proactive approach to mental health screening. Ninth grade students - with the approval of parents/guardians - will sit privately and answer a series of questions regarding their mental health e.g. Do you find it difficult to focus in school?; Do you ever intentionally harm yourself?; etc. Ninth graders were chosen as the target year because “It’s a group of students entering a whole new era of life,” said Ones when referring to the transition from middle to high school. The questionnaire is based on a point system and once a student has completed it, an on-campus therapist will receive the results and speak with the student directly. “We will have a pretty good idea where each student falls...After screening, each student meets with the therapist regardless of the result,” said Ones. She further explained the above mentioned aspect is what makes this proactive, stating that a therapist will essentially be able to double check the results through one-on-one conversation. Ones stated that she hopes this abundance of attention will stifle the stigma of going to see a counselor. She added later, “We want to make sure parents know we think this (mental heath screening) is important.” All students will receive packets of information that will include Burnett County mental health contact information. Also, if a student is in need of further guidance, the school and therapist will assist the student and family find the needed resource and follow-up. Ones hopes that immediately acting on results will have a positive impact on the students.

Grantsburg Revitalization Operation (GRO) group. Among its goals are to see new businesses locate in Grantsburg and to attract new businesses and uses for Grantsburg’s vacant downtown business buildings. Peterson outlined their plans: “The main goal in getting a building was to create a space for my marketing business, Spry Content. Part of the building will have an office space, a full kitchen and a shooting bay for photo/video. “When we realized this particular building might actually be ours, we felt compelled to also use it in a way to help revitalize downtown and bring in tourism. So, we’ve decided to convert the rest of the building into a microbrewery that we hope to open by May 2018.
It all depends on permit approvals. Lots to be done before then though! We’ll also need an experienced head brewer to join our team – feel free to spread the word. “Our goal is to create a ‘grainto-glass’ brewery experience. We already grow wheat and plan to grow barley and hops as well. We will feed the spent grains from the brewing process back to our cows. “The building has a big yard overlooking Memory Lake that we’ll be making into a large outdoor patio space with a pergola and room for lawn games, fire pit, etc. We will have food trucks and have a variety of events planned. “If the need is still there by spring to have a coffee shop in Grantsburg, we are open to considering a coffee by day/brewery by night concept as well, depending on our brewery permit allowances

By 3 a.m. a SWAT team had made it to Bergman’s room whilst conducting a full sweep of the hotel. At that point, Bergman had notified his family of his safety. After the immediate danger subsided, Bergman passed the night sleepless and contemplating those that risk their lives everyday in active duty, he explained. He also measured his own fear against the terror that unfolded outside of his window. “I never thought I’d experience something like that,” he said. When the sun rose and unveiled the crime scene below, Bergman realized he could see one of the smashed out windows where the shooter carried out his plan. Also in view were hundred of cops searching for bullet fragments and the belongings of victims. “The atmosphere was just different the day after. Vegas is meant to be fun. I’ve never seen so many police cars,” he said. While he was not in the line of fire, this event is something Bergman will carry with him the rest of his life, and he wants to pass on a bit of advice to everyone else: “When you are in large crowds, be vigilant, cognitive, and have a plan. Know your surroundings, know where the exits are in order to protect yourself.”

headlines in the paper followed by a story we’ve read many times before. The tragic event just occurs in a different place every few months. For a few hours, maybe a couple days, we are relieved that no one we knew was hurt. Then we carry on with our lives. Then it happens again. And, again. This time a member of the Burnett County community was closeby— fortunately not on the concert grounds, but close-by. “When I looked out of the window I just saw people running. Then I heard more and more gunfire and police flying up to the scene,” said Bergman. He then turned off his light, backed away from the window and checked on the five other IT consultants he traveled with to affirm their safety. Luckily, all were safe. Bergman explained that no communication from hotel staff was made to individual rooms. However, he assumed lock-down and instinctively recalled the active shooter training he’d received in the National Guard. “I knew it was best to turn the light off and stay in my room. It was the safest option,” he said.
He added, “I didn’t know, someone could be in the hallway.” Bergman also decided to hold off on contacting family members: parents and siblings in Burnett County, and wife and two sons, nine and six, in Florida. He did this so he would not disturb their sleep and send them into a panic, Las Vegas is two hours behind the central time zone. Locked in a dark room as thousands below him ran for their lives, Bergman waited out the night by flipping through the news channels trying to discover what was going on just a few hundred yards from him. “The hardest part was knowing so many people were going to lose their lives,” he said. Like many people, due to the quantity of bullets and length of continuous shooting time, Bergman thought that multiple shooters were launching this attack. “I just knew hundreds of people were injured,” he said. With a trained ear, Bergman was also able to make out the meaning of the last shot. “When I heard the single shot, I knew it was different.” Bergman explained he could tell it was a different type of gun and that the assailant committed suicide.

Northwest Passage sets endowment fund WEBSTER—The Boards of Northwest Passage and the St. Croix Valley Foundation announce the Northwest Passage Endowment Fund is now being managed by the St. Croix Valley Foundation. St. Croix Valley Foundation Chair Steve Schroeder says he is delighted that Northwest Passage has made this decision. “We believe that this will prove to be a fruitful partnership,” he said. From its genesis in 1978, Northwest Passage programming has focused on blending traditional mental health treatment with arts and nature-based therapy. Though the problems facing children and teens have evolved since 1978, the fundamental needs for self-respect, trust, relationships, and steady guidance remain the same. While Northwest Passage has grown in size and sophistication, it has never lost sight of the foundations all children need to be successful. By investing in the lives of marginalized youth, Northwest Passage is influencing and changing how mental health is ultimately treated and viewed. The transformations seen are no less than extraordinary. The new fund will be invested and managed to provide funding in perpetuity for projects, and programs for Northwest Passage. “Having an endowment for Northwest Passage is an important step,” says Board President Kelly Hibbs. “As the needs of our clients change, it is reassuring to know that this fund will be there forever to help with our future needs.” The St. Croix Valley Foundation is a community foundation that serves six counties on both sides of the St. Croix River. It serves ten Affiliation Foundations that serve the following communities: Amery, Chisago Lakes, Hudson, Lower St. Croix communities, New Richmond, Burnett County, Prescott, River Falls, Somerset and Stillwater. For more information about the Northwest Passage Endowment Fund, call Development Director Chanda Elliott at 715-327-4402 or visit nwpltd.org.

Wood Industry notes Forest Week tour Oct. 27 SPOONER—Observing Forest Products Week is important to those in the industry, but has also drawn the attention of a group of economic development and workforce development officials across northern Wisconsin known as the Wood Industry Collaborative. The forest products industry is the number one employer in many counties throughout northern Wisconsin. The Collaborative helped organize a “Cabinet on the Road” tour. After the Governor’s Oct. 26 Northern Summit, the cabinet members traditionally schedule visits throughout the northern part of the state. To highlight the wood industry, a tour of the Northwood High School Fab Lab and WITC Forestry Technician Program will take place on Friday, Oct. 27. The tour will also include a Forestry Equipment Demonstration by Ericson Logging, Inc.

Former GHS athlete eyes sports training facility BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—A former Grantsburg High School athlete who has returned to Grantsburg told the Village Board Monday he wants to build a sports training facility downtown. Introducing himself to the board, Tyler Myers, a 2009 Grantsburg High School graduate, said he was inquiring about land availability, terms, zoning procedures and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to build an athletic training facility. “My preference is to build it downtown on the former Kozak property north of the Post Office,” he said. His goal is to build a steel building of 6-10,000 square feet to contain sports conditioning equipment and a full-size basketball court. Myers said he has spoken to contractors, Realtors® and government agencies including Northwest Regional Planning, and has found a receptive audience. It would not a general fitness facility like the Grantsburg Fitness Center, but instead a sport-specific training center for male and female athletes who want to work individually or in a
small group to train their bodies for playing hockey, football, baseball or basketball, among other sports. The son of Mike and Lucy Myers, Tyler is a 2013 graduate of Michigan Tech with a bachelors degree in biomedical engineering. Working out of Grantsburg last winter, he employed his passion for basketball to volunteer his time to assist Grantsburg basketball players at the high school, JV and middle school levels. Myers said he saw a need for sports-specific training. At the basketball banquet at the close of the season, he offered his services to athletes for one-on-one training. He has five clients so far and has put in more than 200 hours with them in his current 800-square-foot facility. Myers said he has looked at Grantsburg highway locations, too. “But, I was reading last week in the Burnett County Sentinel about revitalizing the downtown area, so I thought I would ask about TIF. I want to benefit Grantsburg, but if it’s not the right fit for Grantsburg it’s going to be built somewhere.” SEE TYLER, PAGE 16

October is Apple Cider Month in Wisconsin Man accused of faking cancer, collecting donations ASSOCIATED PRESS
FARIBAULT, Minn. (AP) — Prosecutors say a Faribault man lied about having terminal cancer, collected thousands of dollars in donations and spent the money on video games and marijuana. Thirty-seven-year-old Jeremiah Jon Smith is charged in Rice County with theft by swindle. Investigators say fundraisers and a GoFundMe web page for Smith generated $23,000 to help cover his medical expenses. Court records show Smith’s wife became suspicious when she couldn’t find medical records to back up her husband’s claims. County Attorney John Fossum says when Smith was questioned by police, he told them he would produce the records, but never did. WCCO -TV reports that is when investigators got a search warrant and found out Smith did not have cancer. The Rice County court administrator says Smith does not yet have an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

BURNETT COUNTY— Wisconsin Cider Month started out as Wisconsin Cider Week in 2016 as a way to promote drinking fresh and hard cider. It was part of a project spearheaded by the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association (WAGA) and managed by Herdie Baisden of Maiden Rock Apples, Winery & Cidery. The goal is bring Wisconsin apple growers together with fresh and hard cidermakers to increase the competitiveness of all by expanding the market for apples less suitable for the fresh market, adding a market for true cider apples, and meeting the needs of Wisconsin’s rapidly growing fresh and hard cider industry. A survey of apple growers was conducted and cataloged on the WAGA website (http://www. waga.org/cider) to identi-
fy who produces cider in Wisconsin, what “cider” varieties they grow, orchards with fresh cider – both unpasteurized and pasteurized; and cideries with hard cider. AGA hopes Wisconsin Cider Month becomes an annual tradition that celebrates the contributions the apple industry is making to Wisconsin and beyond. Wisconsin Cider Month is a great way to start the fall with healthy, nutrient-rich drinks. The U.S. Apple Association offers 12 proven ways apples and apple products positively impact health. Apples improve health from head to toe, from the inside out, and through every stage of life – including lowering LDL cholesterol, improving digestive health, replacing daily statin use by cardiac patients, supporting respiratory

course, fresh apple cider – like other juices, fruits and vegetables – contains no cholesterol and is gluten-free. Well-made hard cider offers the same health benefits as fresh juice. Hard cider is loaded with vitamin C and contains a number of antioxidants. In fact, there is some research support that there are more antioxidants in hard cider than in green or black tea or vegetables like tomatoes. These are just a few of the reasons that you should celebrate Wisconsin cider, not just in October, but all year long.

At first glance, many people might think bullying is easy to define. Their first image of bullying might be of a physically intimidating boy beating up a smaller classmate. While that would still be considered bullying today, parents need to know that bullying behavior can be much more complex and varied than the stereotype. For example, harmful bullying can also occur quietly and covertly, or through gossip or the Internet, and can cause significant emotional damage. Bullying is an intentional behavior that hurts, harms, or humiliates a student. Those bullying often have more social or physical “power,” while those targeted have difficulty stopping the behavior. The behavior is typically repeated. Students often describe bullying as when “someone makes you feel less about who you are as a person.” There are many different types of bullying. The types of bullying include: verbal, emotional/ social, physical, sexual, and cyber. No matter what type your child may be experiencing, it’s important that you take it seriously and be aware of the impact it can have on him or her mentally, emotionally, and physically. Bullying can negatively impact a child’s educational performance, self-esteem and self-worth, cause anxiety and depression and may even lead to thoughts of selfharm. When you discover your child is being bullied you may feel a variety of emotions. To become an effective advocate for your child, it is important to acknowledge your emotions and then focus on developing an action plan to help your child. • Talk with your child about bullying. Listen to his or her story and avoid making judgmental comments. • Support and empower your child. Let them know they are not alone and you are there to help. • Learn your rights. Visit StopBullying.gov to find out the laws your state has put in place. You may also want to look up your child’s school’s policy on bullying. • Think about who else should be involved: other family members, teachers, counselors, etc. • Get involved in the community. Wear orange on Unity Day, Wednesday, Oct. 25 to help send one large orange message of support, hope, and unity to show that we are together against bullying and united for kindness, acceptance and inclusion.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
And then there was one! A couple of weeks ago we featured three kittens, Gemini, Aquarius and Aries. Now that her brother and sister have been adopted, sweet little Aries is lonely. I hope by featuring her again this adorable kitty will also be adopted. Aries is a beautiful little gal, with a glossy black coat with white markings and socks. Aries was the shyest of the three, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore. She is fun and affectionate and Aries would be grateful for the company of a loving family. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that someone would have it in their heart to provide her the home she deserves. Look at that little face – what’s not to love? Last week I featured Ariel, the beautiful Weimaraner that had been with us since June 23. We are happy to report that she has left the shelter and is now with a Weimaraner Rescue, where she will be fostered and has an adoption pending. Ariel was having difficulty in the shelter environment, which is not always uncommon, so we try to do whatever we can to make life easier for our animals. We have heard that she is settling in well and exploring her new surroundings. We’ve had several adoptions this last week with kittens, Evi, Bitzi and Aquarius leaving. Dogs Tasha and Tim will also have gone to their new homes by the time you read this. We have had a few strays with a nice black retriever mix and chocolate lab that went home quickly. A little chihuahua was picked up on Hwy. 35 near Fourwinds and has not been reclaimed. Poor little guy is very scared, so staff is working with him. A handsome orange kitty also came in as a stray, found at the Holiday Station South in Siren. Arriving as I write this is a really nice white and brown boxer mix who was picked up on Hwy. 35 Riverside in Danbury. Big shout-out to Rosenthal’s Resort and the Voyager Village Arts and Crafts Show for their recent generous donations. Kisses and tailwags from all the shelter residents! Quote: If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, Don’t Shop”!

BY MATT ROONEY FEATURE WRITER
POLK COUNTY—There were three of us going out in the canoe that day. We loaded up and drove east out of Luck, on Highway 48, out of town and out into the open, rolling landscape. We took a turn North on a dirt road that runs past the school forest, and the gravel and dirt pelted the bottom of my car as we made our way. We arrived at Straight Lake State Park, one of the newest state parks in Wisconsin, just outside of Luck. It was a Saturday afternoon, and when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find a large and empty parking lot. This park boasts two pristine lakes, Straight Lake, the namesake of the park, and Rainbow Lake, a much smaller but equally attractive body of water. We carried our canoe down to the smaller lake. In contrast to the wind-blown chop
lapping the shores of Straight Lake that afternoon, Rainbow Lake was calm and protected, with just enough breeze to carry us over the water with little paddling. We set the polished cedar-strip canoe gently into the water, climbed in, pushed off, and floated away into pure tranquility. As we drifted away from shore, our minds and mouths were immediately quieted by the majesty of the scene before us. Grand old pines with wide massive trunks, towering maples, birches, and oaks all lined the shore. They were all displaying their stunning fall colors, which created a dreamlike scene for us to behold. Blazing oranges, reds, yellows, and greens of seemingly endless tones and hues created a scene of spectacular beauty. We silently passed beneath their singing boughs, our eyes turned skyward. The steep hills that line the lake served to enhance the perception of inordinate
height and stature. Before long, we had reached the end of the small lake, and turned the canoe West to face the wind. The bow turned into the wind and the breeze which had pushed us before, now sang lightly in our ears. Within a few minutes of easy paddling, we had pulled ourselves back to the leeward shore. We repeated our silent and serene windblown voyage several times over the next hour, the rich land revealing a more intimate detail to us upon each pass. The gray skies we found on our arrival had given way to moments of sparkling blue sky and a bright blinding sun, and blowing winds had ceased. For a moment I closed my eyes as the canoe glided over the smooth water that now bore a perfect reflection of the radiant landscape, and I smiled, for I had found a pure and perfect peace.
DNR: Demand highest here for non-motorized trails BURNETT/POLK COUNTIES—According to the DNR’s 2017 Recreational Opportunity Analysis report, residents of the Great Northwest Region (which includes Polk and Burnett Counties) are most interested in the creation of more non-motorized trails. The report gathered information from over 1,300 individuals who filled out a public input
form. One of the conclusions of the report was that “Trails for motorized recreation is less of a need compared to other parts of the state because of the robust ATV/UTV network through off-road and road routes with over 4,500 miles available.” The report shows that the top three needs were: • More hiking/walking/run-
ning trails (637 responses). • More paved bicycling trails (503 responses). • More natural surface (dirt) bicycling trails (496 responses). Coming in a distant ninth on the list was “more trails for motorized recreation” with only 151 responses, less than a quarter of the number for the top non-motorized request.
The information gathered in this report is significant when taken in the context of ongoing efforts to change the designation of trails such as the Gandy Dancer Trail and the Stower Seven Lakes Trail from non-motorized to motorized. The results of the ROA report indicate a strong public preference for maintaining the current designation of the
Gandy Dancer Trail and the Stower Seven Lakes Trail as non-motorized trails. The DNR’s 2017 Recreational Opportunity Analysis report is available on the DNR web page for Recreational Analysis and clicking the link for the document labeled “Great Northwest Region Draft” (http://dnr. wi.gov/topic/Lands/RecAnalysis/).

seepage is normally not a peril that is covered under a homeowner’s insurance policy. Wet carpet, water wicking up a sheetrock wall, and damaged and stained woodwork are not things covered simply by water seeping in. If that water comes from a burst pipe or the worst, a backed up sewage system, then you would have coverage if you have the “backup of sewer and water” endorsement on your policy. If you have a finished basement it is important to have that endorsement. You can look over your policy to make sure it is in place or you can call you insurance agent to find out. If you don’t have it then it needs to be added. Wet finished basements are not only a major hassle but an expensive one as well.

Prior to closing, the title company will search public records for potential title risks. Title Insurance protects you against hidden claims to the property & title. Typically, the Seller conveys title to the buyer with an Owners Policy, which protects the Owners Interest in the property. If the Buyer obtains a mortgage on the property, the Lender will generally require the Buyer to purchase a Lenders Policy, which protects the Lenders Interest in the property. 651-308-2221 jeanlundgren@gmail.com jeanlundgren.com
Halloween is almost here. Of course, most costumes and decorations are more amusing than frightening. But Josh Prusinski, CFP® some people seem to have fears about other things such as Financial Advisor what may happen in the financial markets. To keep your fears at bay, consider the following suggestions. First, don’t stop investing when the markets are choppy. Once you’re out, you could miss the next rally. Next, don’t chase after “hot” stocks. They may have already cooled off by the time you hear about them, and they might not even be appropriate for your needs. It’s also smart not to invest too aggressively or too cautiously. If you constantly push your portfolio toward the maximum possible returns, you might take on too much risk. Conversely, if you are determined to avoid any amounts of loss, at any time, you might invest too conservatively to achieve your financial objectives. No matter what you do, you can’t take all the uncertainty out of investing. But understanding the market volatility and your portfolio can help you invest with more confidence as you move toward your goals.

‘A place for kids & families’
Community Resource & Learning Center plans open house Oct. 27 BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
SIREN—For all the organizations and agencies that now share one roof, Siren’s Community Resource and Learning Center (CRLC) is a dream come true. It’s a place for caregivers and “like-minded” community agencies to work together and support each other and their mission – helping kids and families. They will celebrate this joyful coalition in an open house from noon to 3 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27 at their facility at 24467 State Road 35 in Siren in the former Lakeview Event Center. A chili lunch will be served. The CRLC goal was to bring together community agencies that work with families, and they have accomplished that. Families are offered many services and activities free of charge, including family activities, parent education, advocacy and nutrition services. The building is nearly full, with only one office vacant. Agencies located there include the Burnett County Family Resource Center, Healthy Families of Burnett County Home Visiting Program, Community Referral Agency, Indianhead Community Action Agency and Burnett County WIC Program managed by Sarah Miller. The Learning Center portion of the building is Kid Central, serving children ages two weeks through 12 years. Kid Central also offers Early Head Start services to qualifying families. Throughout the agencies located in the Resource Center,

GOVERNMENT CENTER— A second competency test will be given to a Grantsburg man following a hearing onFriday. Benjamin Baker, 31, of Grantsburg is charged with one count of sexual assault of a child under 16 years of age and one count of exposing a child to harmful material. Shirlene Renee Perrin, Baker’s attorney, told the court that Baker suffers from a severe learning disability and that the first competency evaluation may be flawed. “The report came out rather suddenly in my mind.

counseling and advocacy services for domestic violence and sexual abuse victims. The Family Resource Center is celebrating ten years of serving Burnett County families. Kid Central Learning Center
offers Early Head Start services to children from birth to age three at no cost to the families. Kid Central’s childcare hours are 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days per week. They offer nine classrooms tailored for
children from two weeks to 12 years old with programming for infants through preschool and school age children. Back in June, at the Siren Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting, owner Chris Phernetton said, “My husband, Dean, and I have always owned residential rental properties, but this is our first endeavor in leasing to community agencies. “We knew that we needed a larger building to combine our childcare centers and it just made sense to purchase the prior Lakeview Event Center when we are able to partner with agencies that work with families. It’s a winning combination for the families in our community and for the agencies working together.” The CRLC and Kid Central contact person is Chris Phernetton at 715-349-8262.

‘Awesome cross’ lights Ekdall BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
TOWN OF WEST MARSHLAND—A community effort now brightens the evening sky above Ekdall Community Church north of Grantsburg. The church has a new, brightly lit cross that was fabricated, finished, illuminated, erected and funded by a group of friends from the community and the church. “Pastor Dan Shadis and the congregation are so happy and proud of our new cross,” said church member Gladys Becvar. “We hope everyone will come and see it. It is beautiful during the day; however, when night comes the light from the cross is awesome.” In the process of putting a new roof on the church some time ago, the old cross was removed and not replaced. Beverly Baker of the Ekdall Community was among those offering financial support for a new cross and the light. “County Road F is a dark road at night,” Baker said. “When people see the light from the church they know exactly where they are.” Support from the West Marshland community and the

congregation made it possible. The cross was fabricated from aluminum by Marty Youngbaugher of Rush City. Terry Berger donated his time, mate-
rials and talents to oversee the project and install the cross. George “Jocko” Clark, former West Marshland Town Board chairman and well-
known area electrician, donated an LED light for the cross and did the wiring. The original Ekdall Church was consumed by a large
wildfire in April of 1980 and the blaze became known as the Ekdall Church Fire. Church members and friends rebuilt the structure and also help care for the adjoining cemetery. The congregation is also active in mission work and recently became a member church of Grantsburg Area Food Shelf, which means it has representatives on the food shelf board, provides financial and food support, and food shelf volunteer workers. Services are held year round at 9 a.m. Sunday, followed by a potluck lunch. “Everyone brings a dish to pass, so we usually have sandwiches, salads, main dishes and desserts. It draws lots of people from our neighborhood. Attendance ranges from about a dozen to 50 or more, depending on the weather and the time of year, as some who attend Ekdall head south for part of the winter. The church draws worshipers from throughout Burnett County and even some from Minnesota. “It’s a very friendly place where everyone is welcome,” says longtime member Maggie Hess.
TYLER: ‘09 Grantsburg graduate sets sights on building sports training facility CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9
Village Treasurer Sheila Meyer told Myers TIF covers footings, foundations and parking lot, but nothing going up the walls. Myers said he was aware of the village’s interest creating a more picturesque river front area at that location, and said he would build his
facility with that in mind. Myers said he can find no sports training facilities similar to what he is proposing anywhere between Duluth and the Twin Cities or between Duluth and Eau Claire. His biggest concerns, he said, are affordability, access and reach. He feels he can make his training costs reasonable
to families in an expanded facility by working with groups in addition to his one-on-one training. He is confident that families who want their sons and/or daughters to have sport-specific training would travel 60 or more miles multiple times per week. Several persons at the board meeting agreed.
While building a full-size basketball court is expensive, Myers said it would provide another training facility for the Grantsburg School District after school. He said NW Regional Planning expressed interest in helping fund the court, with additional funding interest from his own list of personal and private investors.
After Myers’ presentation, Village President Larry Ebersold suggested he speak with Rick Quimby, hockey coach and a director of the Grantsburg Hockey Association, which is looking for funding to upgrade its rink into a multiuse facility. Quimby was at the meeting, and he and Myers spoke privately.

Pirates make history with win over Unity BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates football team wrote another page in the GHS football history books on Friday when they defeated the Unity Eagles 31-6 to win the North Lakeland Conference championship. This makes it a 3-peat for the Pirates as they win their third straight undefeated conference crown. They have not lost a regular season game since October of 2014. The stands were packed with football fans excited to watch the two powerhouse teams battle it out on the field. The Eagles came into the game undefeated in conference play, and with only one loss on the season to a non-conference Spring Valley squad. Both teams boast two D1 college recruits — Grantsburg’s tag team Chenal brothers in John and Leo, and Unity’s Cody Ince and Logan Hendrickson. It was set up to be a high school football fan’s dream game. “It was a total team effort and we had contributions across the board and in all three phases of the game,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “Special teams was the key early as we capitalized with a touchdown on Unity’s bad punt snap and then came right back and Jared VanWatermuelen executed the onside kick to perfection and finished it off by making a big field goal with pressure right in his face. Having that early lead was big along with too many offensive mistakes, makes it nice to be able to hand off to John Chenal and let him run. Against a very good Unity defense,

he still managed to break tackles and get so many yards after contact. With their defense and big play capability, Unity has the potential to be a very dangerous playoff team in D6.” Unity received the opening kick, but it was a short turn on offense and the Pirates’ smothering defense was able to force the punt. The Eagles fumbled the ball on a bad snap on their punt attempt, giving the Pirates the ball on the
22-yard line. Just two plays later John Chenal runs it in from 17 yards out for the first score of the night. The point after by Jared VanWatermuelen was good to give the Pirates a 7-0 lead with 9:23 left in the first quarter. Grantsburg caught the Eagles off guard on the kickoff when VanWatermuelen executed the perfect onside kick and Gabe Chenal recovered the ball to put the hometown boys back on offense.
They weren’t able to find the endzone on this possession, but got on the scoreboard nonetheless with a 25-yard field goal by VanWatermuelen to make it a 10-0 game. Unity was able to stop the Pirates from scoring the rest of the first half, and had themselves lined up to get some points themselves before the break. The Eagles made a drive late in the second quarter, and with :54 left in the half found themselves with firstand-goal on the one-yard line with all three of their time outs left. But the stingy Pirate defense had a different plan, and on first down they stuffed Unity’s runningback Anthony Carlson at the one-yard line. On their second attempt, the QB fumbled the snap but was able to recover the ball on the 15-yard line. On third down-andgoal to go from the 15-yard line, Grantsburg’s Tyler Stevens bust through the line to chase down Unity’s Hunter Pederson and Stevens along with Tanner Berger get the sack back at the 22-yard line. The Eagles use their last time-out to stop the clock at :02 with one last try to get the score. On fourth and goal from the 22, they launch a pass to the back of the end zone but are unable to connect. The Pirates seize all the momentum after the big stop and head to the locker room with a 10-0 lead. “Defensively for us, Coach Dennis Hale once again did a terrific job getting the guys ready for Unity and kept them from getting anything going,” the SEE PIRATES, PAGE 19

Post-season predictions Whenever I see a tournament bracket I start to shiver. I. Must. Make. Predictions. I think it’s a dormant virus that acts up from time to time (it’s out of control in March). When I was a kid I would draw brackets, fill them with the NFL teams and then roll dice for each team’s score to fill out the brackets. Here are six predictions for the upcoming fall tournaments. 6. The Siren Dragons (5-4) football team wins their matchup against Alma Center Lincoln (6-2). The Dragons faced the Hornets earlier in the season and dropped the game by four 28-24. Since that loss, the Dragons are 5-2 with one of their losses coming Inside the at the hands of the undefeated Luck Cardinals. Look for the Dragons to Huddle bring home the Jamboree win for the Bob Rombach fourth year in a row. 5. The Grantsburg volleyball team will not play Eau Claire Regis in the Sectional Final. Regis is the number one seed in their sub-section this year, and their school will host the Sectional Final match, but I’m predicting that instead of playing, they will be manning the concession stands as Grantsburg will play Aquinas for the right to go to State. Grantsburg lost to Aquinas last year in the same round in five sets. The Pirates will seek revenge, and wouldn’t it be sweet if they could win it at Regis! 4. Webster football will beat Unity in the first round. Last week the Unity Eagles were vying for a conference championship. Now they are reeling after a 31-6 loss in Grantsburg. The Tigers, on the other hand, are red hot, winning four in a row before getting to rest up last Friday with the forfeit win over Washburn (making it a five-game winning streak). Webster and Unity tied with the same record at 7-2, but Unity won the first matchup earlier in the season, 29-6. That was the last time the Tigers lost a game. Webster will beat Unity to face top seeded Melrose-Mindoro. 3. Siren Volleyball will make it to the sectional quarterfinals—at least. The Dragons put together a very solid season and have a real opportunity to make some noise in the tournament. They will win their first-round match against South Shore, and the second-round match will likely be with a Shell Lake team that has a three seed, but a losing record and have lost two in a row. The Dragons are capable of mowing down the first two teams to get to play on Saturday. 2. In my opinion, Webster Volleyball had a very low seed (10). They will play seven seed Ladysmith and the Tigers will win. I don’t think it’ll even be close. (Note: I submit my column on Tuesday, before the match is played. So, I could be regretting this even before the ink is dry, but I don’t think so.) If you paid attention to the Tigers this year you saw a young, but talented team turn into just a talented team. Their youngsters (two sophomores and eight freshmen with only two seniors) quickly learned to play at the varsity level. Seniors Taylor Howe and Skyler Winkler are great. In fact, when Taylor hits the ball it makes an unreal sound. I can’t tell if it’s her hand hitting it or the ball breaking the sound barrier, but it’s loud and concussive and when she’s on (meaning passing and setting is on, too), there might not be a stronger hitter in the division. I truly believe that this Webster team, if they can continue to grow together and work as a team, will be dominant in two years, and could challenge for the conference championship as early as next year. 1. Grantsburg football will play at Camp Randall this year. I don’t care that they’re the smallest (by enrollment) in Division 5. I don’t think that matters at all. These guys are a special group. Led by a special group of seniors. Led by a special group of coaches. Led by a special head coach in Adam Hale. Yes, John Chenal is of Kryptonian descent. Yes, Leo Chenal can leap tall buildings in a single bound. But there’s so much more to this team. The first-string defense collectively hasn’t given up more than six points in a game since the opening week shootout with Cumberland. The average score in the first half for the Pirates is 40-4. Obviously, as the competition gets better, the stats come back to Earth somewhat, but even against Unity’s two division one linemen, the Pirates put up 31 points and John Chenal ran for 247 with three touchdowns. This team is special and I believe that John and Leo’s first game at Camp Randall will be in 2017.
Dragons down Winter; await possible Wausau Jamboree appearance BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
CAMERON—Last Friday and Saturday, the Lakeland Jamboree was set in Cameron. Two games were played on Friday and four on Saturday. One of the games on Saturday featured the Siren Dragons as they defeated the Winter Warriors 44-12. “It was a rematch of our Homecoming game from a few weeks ago,” voiced Siren head coach Ryan Karsten. “I thought we played okay.
We were up 37-0 at half. Noah Koball had a nice first half with a touchdown catch and a defensive touchdown with a one yard fumble recovery for a TD. Seniors Tyler Anton and Logan Meagher both had rushing touchdowns and sophomore Russell Cook Jr. got his first career touchdown. A safety by Trevor Stanford were the last points of the half, besides the extra points by Cordell Fischer who was six for six on the day.” Continued the coach, “In the second half, Gage Holmes had 14 carries and 100 yards including his first career varsity touch-
down. What makes Gage's touchdown so special is Gage is deaf. He does a great job for us and it was a very special accomplishment.” “Defensively, Derek Highstrom and Lukas Hunter had their best games of the year. Lukas had three sacks and 16 tackles and Derek had two sacks and 11 tackles.” “We now wait to hear if we qualify for the WIAA 8 man jamboree in Wausau in two weeks. My seniors have been to the last three, so it would be special if we qualify for the fourth straight year.”

coach noted. “Leo Chenal is improving each week and was all over the field and led us in tackles. I also thought Bryce Roufs had a great night on both sides of the ball.” Grantsburg added 14 points in the third quarter. The first score came with 7:14 on the clock, on fourth and one, John Chenal found paydirt from 15 yards out. The PAT was good to give the Pirates a 17-0 lead. They struck again with 4:18 left in the quarter when Luke Anderson found a wide open John Chenal in the back of the end zone for the score. VanWatermuelen’s kick was good to make it a 24-0 game. On the Eagles’ first offensive play Pederson’s pass was deflected and Reed Arnold interecepted to give the ball back to the Pirates. But they were unable to take advantage of the opportunity and add any points to their score. Unity finally got on the board with 3:07 left in the game when Carlson ran it in from 15 yards out. The twopoint conversion failed, making it 24-6. The Pirates put the final nail in the coffin when John Chenal took it 69 yards for the score of the game. The PAT was good to end the scoring at 31-6. Grantsburg tallied 334 total yards of offense while holding Unity to
just 133. John Chenal had 247 rushing yards on 29 carries. Leo Chenal carried the ball four times for 19 yards, and had three catches for 30 total yards. Bryce Roufs ran hard with six carries for 17 yards, and had a big catch for 21 yards. Defensively, Leo Chenal was all over the field having a huge night with 13 solo tackles and two assists. Gabe Chenal made big plays racking up 10 assists and one solo tackle. John Chenal had five solos and four assists, and Roufs had three solos with five assists. The Pirates now head into playoff action beginning Friday night. Despite being ranked in Division 6 all season, when the qualifying teams were sorted, Grantsburg was bumped up to Division 5. They received the No. 1 seed in their region and will host the No. 8 seed St. Croix Falls on Friday night. Game time is 7 p.m. Friday’s winner will face the winner of the No. 4 Cumberland vs No. 5 Durand game. (See brackets on page 21) “Now with the playoffs, you really have to throw the records and seeds out at this point, especially when playing a conference foe like St. Croix. Coach Belisle always has his guys ready to play at a high level and we will have to play well to advance,” Hale added.

Single-minded or of one mind? What does it mean to have the mind of Christ, as Paul suggests in the letter to the Philippians? The whole idea honestly strikes me as a little daunting. How are we going to possibly see things as Jesus saw them? His relationship with God the Father was unmatched and here I am, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just Eddie. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to do the best I can, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Pastor Eddie Crise possibly see the world with the deep comDanbury, Grace, Siren, Lewis passion that Jesus had or understand God United Methodist Churches as well as Christ did. Sometimes it feels as
though achieving the mind of Jesus is just way out of reach. However, there are a few ways that we can strive to align our hearts and our minds to His values and at least begin to approach the mind of Jesus to the best that we can as imperfect people. Paul asks early Christians to be of one mind when it comes to compassion, sympathy and having the same love for one another and for their neighbors. They should value humility and the interests of others instead of individual opinions.

Today, it feels as though there are a lot of single-minded people that get attention. Whether we agree with a person or not, we tend to distill someone down to one issue. I think that the remedy for that is to be of one mind when it comes to the things that really endure. Can we find a way to disagree and still love our neighbor? Can we be of one mind, the mind of Christ as best we can, when it comes to compassion, sympathy, and loving who He loved?

Curtail cocktails to reduce breast cancer risk?
REDUCE YOUR RISK The Mayo Clinic also lists these steps to help with breast cancer risk:
METRO CREATIVE
Mixed messages exist regarding the health benefits and implications of frequent, yet controlled alcohol consumption. While some studies suggest a drink or two a day promotes long-term health, other data indicates that even sipping an average of 10 grams of alcohol per day can increase a person’s risk of cancer. According to Anne McTiernan, a cancer prevention researcher at Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the equivalent of a small glass of wine, an eightounce beer or one ounce of hard liquor is associated with a five percent increased risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women and a nine percent increase in postmenopausal women. Other data paints a similar picture. Compared to women who don’t drink at all, women who have three alcoholic drinks per week
have a 15 percent greater risk of breast cancer. Experts estimate that the risk of breast cancer goes up another 10 percent for each additional drink women regularly have each day. Younger women also are at risk. Teen and tween girls who drink between three and five alcoholic beverages a week increase their risk of developing benign breast lumps. The cancer information and research organization BreastCancer. org notes that research consistently indicates that drinking alcoholic beverages increases a woman’s risk of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. This is because alcohol can impact levels of estrogen and other hormones associated with this particular type of breast cancer. Furthermore, alcohol may damage DNA in cells, resulting in increased breast cancer risk. Drinking alcohol does not mean
women or men are destined to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Alcohol is just one of many variables that can increase a person’s risk of getting the disease. While curbing excessive drinking is good for health in general, curtailing cocktail consumption may help to slightly reduce breast cancer risk in particular. However, women can take many other steps to reduce their risk for breast cancer. Diet and exercise can benefit overall health in various ways, including reducing a person’s risk for breast cancer. Various reports suggest that vigorous exercise, like cycling or running, can reduce a woman’s risk of post-menopausal breast cancer by nearly 10 percent compared to less active women. Choosing healthy foods can keep weight in check, helping to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
• Avoid smoking, • Breastfeed children • Limit the dose and duration of hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms, • Avoid exposure to radiation, • Adhere to a Mediterranean diet that features legumes and other plant-based foods, and • Prioritize breast cancer detection.

Regrow healthy hair after chemo Chemotherapy is designed to attack rapidly dividing cells. Unfortunately, hair follicles are some of the fastest-growing cells in the body. That’s why, within a few weeks of beginning chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, many women report losing some or all of their hair. BreastCancer.org says that some chemotherapy treatments will only cause hair loss on the head. Others can also cause the loss of hair elsewhere on the body. No treatment can guarantee that hair will not fall out during or after chemotherapy. However, planning ahead for changes in appearance, and taking the steps to help strengthen hair when it begins to grow in again — typically several weeks after treatment — can make a difference. It’s important to note that hair almost always grows back after chemotherapy. However, women must be mindful that there may be some distinct changes when hair grows back. Hair can regrow with a different texture. Hair may be curly when it was once straight. Hair may now be thick instead of thin. Hair
color may change as well. Other people experience little to no changes. How quickly hair grows back depends on individual health. It can take up to three months before women get a full a head of hair. As the body recovers from chemotherapy and more effectively processes vitamins and other nutrients, those nutrients will be delivered to hair follicles. To promote healthier hair growth, individuals may want to try changing their diets to include ingredients that can be beneficial to hair growth and health. The following are some foods to try.
Salmon Salmon and other fatty fish contain omega-3 acids that can fuel shiny, full hair. The body does not make omega-3s, so they must be acquired through food.
Greek yogurt Greek yogurt contains an ingredient known as pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5. This can help improve blood flow

grow. Biotin also helps strengthen brittle fingernails.
Iron
