Smoke shop owner pitches to village board JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN—The owner of Ignite Vapor & Tobacco is interested in a potential store in Siren on State Road 70. The store would be at the former location of Fish Bowl Insurance on the corner of 70 and 1st Ave. Tim Frey was at the meeting representing Ignite V&T and Village President Dave Alden prefaced his presentation by saying no decision was going to be made at the meeting because the public safety sub-committee would have to look over village ordinances. Frey began by saying his store in Spooner has been open since 2016 and his store in Hayward opened earlier this year. He added that his stores pass all checks with local law enforcement and the Bureau Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). “We make sure all of our licenses and permits are up to date with the ATF and their officials,” Frey said. “And our number one rule is never sell to minors.” He continued by saying his business could add SEE VILLAGE BOARD, PAGE 2

Hunter Tiedt of Webster poses with his four-point buck after shooting and trailing the deer for about 40 yards.

Not your ordinary kindergartener gets first buck JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER—Hunter Tiedt, a Webster Elementary kindergartener, killed his first buck in September. Amazing enough, but then you learn Hunter was wearing his two cochlear implants. “I was out there in our stand waiting for the perfect buck,” Hunter recalled. “It was late in the afternoon and I saw others, but the four-point buck I got was the perfect one.” Hunter described the event saying the buck was about 20 yards out when he hit it right in the shoulder.

“It was a great moment for the both of us,” Hunter’s grandfather, Phil Hoss, said. “I knew he got it right away. After he shot it, he trailed it all by himself for about 40 yards.” Next month, Hunter turns six years old. He spent the whole summer practicing to go out hunting. He started with his compound bow. In July, he received his great grandfather Dave’s crossbow so he could start practicing with the real thing. Hunter was born deaf and at 10 months old received two cochlear implants. He then spent a few years at Northern Voices School in Roseville, Minn. His sister, Rylee,

was also born deaf and has two cochlear implants. Vickie Hoss, Hunter’s grandmother, is originally from Webster. She and her husband, Phil, moved back to Webster when her grandkids were born. “We were at Webster Elementary and the kids were passing around my phone with the photo of Hunter and the deer,” Vickie said. “All the kids were talking about it. You could hear the kids saying “Hunter killed a deer” and “Hunter killed a buck.’” Hunter didn’t just kill the deer, he also took part in cleaning it, “I

WOOD RIVER—County Supervisor Don Chell was at the monthly Wood River Town meeting to explain a couple of options for making Wood River intersections safer and more visible. He brought in a spin alert which is a three-sided reflective device that is bolted atop a stop sign. In July, there was a fatal accident at the intersection of Crosstown Road and County Road Y. Wood River Board Supervisor Daryl Wedin has also expressed concern about these intersections. “In the past three to four years, there have been multiple accidents at intersections in Wood River Township, resulting in three fatalities and several others injured,” Wedin told the Sentinel

helped clean, but it was still disgusting.” He also helped a little with butchering the deer. Sitting in Hunter’s grandparents house, it is apparent that they are a hunting family. There’s a buck on a wall mount Hunter Tiedt and an entire bear hide hung on the wall. Vickie explains that Hunter is a fifth generation hunter. “We’re a hunting family, but we always practice safety. Don’t we, Hunter?” Phil Hoss

asks Hunter, who quickly answers that safety is key. “I always have control when we’re practicing or when we were out in the field,” Phil said. “He doesn’t touch the bolt, but once that’s

in place, it’s all him. He sets up the sight.” After talking for a while inside the house, we go outside and Hunter shows us where he practices. Grandpa Phil sets it up and Hunter takes

over. He pulls the trigger and hits the target deer right in the shoulder. “Just beneath the shoulder is where I always aim,” Hunter said. Hunter also helps out when the family makes maple syrup. He explained the intricacies of plugging the tree and putting the collection bags in place for when the sap comes out of the trees. Phil and Hunter weren’t sure whether they were going to head out for rifle season, but Hunter did say he has a doe tag that he would really like to use for his crossbow. “Rylee (Hunter’s sister) is just learning the basics of hunting,” Vickie said. “She is hoping to repeat what Hunter did next year.”

thousands of dollars in tax revenue for the village and two or three jobs. Ignite V&T sells tobacco and hemp pipes. They also sell medicinal hemp CBD. Frey said that this CBD is not the same as THC and does not have the same effect as marijuana. “These products can help people with arthritis,” Frey said. “It can also help Iraq War or Vietnam vets with PTSD and also can help with chronic pain and depression.” The public safety committee meeting to discuss the potential new business will be held at the Siren Village Office on Oct. 16. Police Chief Chris Sybers gave his monthly report and said that case numbers are significantly down. He also said that they have received $4,000 in grant money for traffic safety programs like Click It or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. IN OTHER ITEMS: Juli Kannenburg of the Siren Area Garden Club came to the meeting to ask if it was possible for the village worker who waters the flower pots throughout the village could stop by and water their garden. Alden suggested a sprinkler system that could be turned on and off by a village worker. Sue Hunter, who helps organize the Siren St. Patrick’s Day parade, presented a check to the Siren Police Department for $2,200. Chief Sybers said the department will use the money to purchase some defibrillator machines.

Self reflections

This portion of the paper is one of the hardest parts of my job. I’ve been here for almost a year and sometimes wait until Tuesday morning (when we are putting the pages together) to come up with something for this space. The difficulty comes in the content itself. How do I talk about myself without sounding too narcissistic? Is there a way to write about my thoughts and feelings while remaining professional? What is a good way to turn rage into a quality 450-word column? Why is it difficult to write my opinions without sounding preachy? What do I do with the “you write too relaxed” comment? When I graduated with a degree in journalism and media studies there was no class about columns or editorials. Op-ed page 101 was not a course offered at UW-Green Bay or UW-Milwaukee. The curriculum was based on topics like Sentinel maintaining sources for optimum reporting, media law about libel Editor and defamatory statements, and Jonathan Richie how to make your social media feeds part of the job. I was certainly not writing my opinion as a freelance reporter, I was far too worried work would dry up. It’s why I toned down my personal opinions on Twitter and Facebook because professors said my “brand” had to be objective and couldn’t show personal preference. (My brand? Are you referring to fat and funny? I’m afraid I cannot lose two qualities.) I’d really like to use this space to talk about issues on a macro-level, but Americans for some reason are more focused on debating their concerns on a micro-level. How does this single issue affect me right now? Is it really a dangerous time for young men in this country? Instead of focusing all our attention on one accuser and one victim – what if we discussed these issues as a society overall. Like why do young people drink so much in high school and when they go off to college? Why is it that only two percent of rape victims report it? At what point does the national media take a step back and discontinue their outrage over here and outrage over there? Also, I don’t think yelling like a maniac at a job interview is ever a good idea, especially if it is in front of a Senate Judiciary Committee. But this space is specifically meant for my opinions. So a few of those opinions are: Music and indoor plumbing are the greatest inventions to mankind. Diversity is good, for example - white men controlling everything is not good, again think marco-level. Corporations are not people. Americans should not be held hostage by two major political parties, then ostracized for not wanting to participate in a system that is happy when people don’t want to be involved in electing leaders. (Steps off high horse upon a soap box and brushes self off.) Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. See ya next week.

Can ‘we’ defeat ‘me’? If it feels like our society is devolving back to ancient times when tribes banded together against hated enemies for survival, you are not alone. While this development is disturbing, there are signs of hope on the horizon, according to New York Times columnist and author David Brooks. I had the pleasure of hearing Brooks speak on Sept. 25 at Bethel University. He pointed to a range of statistics about our society that indicate we are increasingly more and more isolated. Brooks calls this a “crisis of isolation.” The fastest-growing political and religious affiliation, he says, are “unaffiliated.” Teenage suicide rates From the Publisher’s are rising, 55,000 people die each year from opiate addiction, and “opiate Desk addiction is just slow-motion suicide,” says Brooks. Today the “we’re all in Tom Stangl this together” culture has completelly melted l d away and people don’t trust each other, he added. But amid these signs of hopelessness, Brooks sees the seeds of change sprouting. “Society changes when a small group of people—often at the margins of society—find a better way to live, and then other people want to copy them. It’s like the early church. These community builders that I find, these stickers, these cultural rebels…they believe in ‘we’ over ‘me.’ They have moral motivation. They’re not that interested in money and status. They want connection,” Brooks said. While giving a historical overview of the past century, Brooks said that the labor and temperance movements at the end of the 19th century planted the seeds for the societal unity that overcame the Great Depression and World War II. Brooks says that national politics are the last to change during societal movements, so the current state of politics is the extreme outgrowth

of the movement to the individual that began in the 1960s. Today’s rogue change-makers leverage technology to surround at-risk youth with real-time positive role models. They start micro organizations, create intentional support networks, and build community around their kitchen tables. They focus on developing whole people. “I find these people wherever I go,” said Brooks. From his own experience, traveling to a different place each week meeting with communities, Brooks has witnessed this hope firsthand: a “we over me” ideology that will better today’s society and culture. “There’s a rising sense that we need to build relationships with one another, we have to stop thinking about self. We need a moral, and cultural and eventually a political revolution,” Brooks said. I was completely enthralled by Brooks’ talk. His unassuming manner, well thought out and researched argument and calm, dulcet tone made the hour pass quickly. Brooks is an unabashed writing nerd. I found it interesting that he spends four hours a day writing, with the majority of the time spent on organization. In reading his book, “The Road to Character,” it is apparent that this prep work is well worth the effort. I would like to thank my employer, Gene and Cathy Johnson, for sponsoring this event at Bethel. The Johnsons have a deep love for community journalism and have helped establish a journalism program at Bethel. Brooks’ visit was made possible by the Johnsons. I left the evening with hope for the future. I know that dedicated individuals will bring about balance in our society. And eventually, the politicians will follow suit. They always do, in the end. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, Under Governor Scott Walker’s leadership, Wisconsin is working! The Governor has a strong record of getting positive things done for Wisconsin by enacting bold reforms that are moving our state forward and serving as a conservative model for the nation. Governor Scott Walker led Wisconsin’s economic comeback, with more Wisconsinites working than ever before and unemployment below 3 percent (the previous historic low), down from a high of 9.3 percent when Democrats controlled state government. Wages are growing faster than the national rate and the percentage of adults working is one of the highest in the country. Since taking office, Governor Scott Walker has cut taxes some $8 billion, including the elimination of an entire tax, the state property tax. He has made historic investments in K-12 classrooms with $200 more per student this year and $204 more per student next year, including increasing Sparsity Aid for rural communities. Governor Walker passed concealed carry and Castle doctrine legislation to protect Second Amendment rights to bear arms and allow citizens to guard their homes and families. Wisconsin is on a roll, but there is more that needs to be done. Governor Walker has a plan to keep Wisconsin working for generations to come. Governor Scott Walker plans to help connect students with careers by expanding youth apprenticeships. His plan also includes expanding support for our technical colleges to equip students for emerging careers. Governor Scott Walker is fighting to help working families make ends meet. He lowered property taxes and income taxes. His Wisconsin Healthcare Stability Plan will drive down premiums, increase choices and improve healthcare. To help make child care affordable, Governor Walker will provide a tax credit for working families to ease the burden of childcare costs. Governor Scott Walker plans to reduce student loan debt and help keep our graduates here by instituting a tax credit of up to $5,000 over five years for college graduates who live and work in Wisconsin and he plans to continue the tuition freeze for four more years. Governor

Walker wants every student to be able to find a meaningful career that keeps them close to home here in Wisconsin. That is at the heart of his plan to keep Wisconsin working for generations to come. By keeping his promises and doing what he said he would do, Governor Scott Walker has shown that voters reward leaders who deliver results. I urge everyone to join me in supporting Governor Scott Walker and voting for him on November 6 to keep moving Wisconsin forward. Laurie Riemer Siren Dear Editor, What has happened to our Country? After watching the Judge Kavanaugh appointment hearings I have to conclude that many good people will not seek public office in the future. Who would want to put their lives, family and reputation on the line while opponents shake the family tree until all the nuts fall from it? There are many sayings about what is going on today, such as “those that have not sinned may cast the first stone”. And the one about people living in glass houses also fits. I can relate to accusations and false statements from past experiences but they do not compare to what is happening today. A simple accusation can put an end to one’s professional career because today it seems you have to prove yourself innocent thus protecting the accusers. I can recall the appointment process of 5 Supreme Court Justices, Clarence Thomas, Elena Kagan, John Roberts, and Neil Gorsuch that were confirmed and one that wasn’t confirmed Robert Bork. Judge Bork and Judge Thomas were opposed viciously by the left. Judge Bork was treated so badly that a term “Borked” is applied to those that are treated like what happened to him. I don’t recall a left leaning Judge going through an appointment process for the Supreme Court ever being “Borked”. Keep in mind that those seeking to be appointed usually give up their lively hood and if destroyed by allegations may never work in their profession again. As I stated earlier, many qualified people may refrain from seeking public office because of the possibility of being “Borked”. Sad. Mark Pettis Hertel

LEE HAMILTON

We live in a divided country. And I don’t just mean politically. The last few decades have produced great inequality of wealth and with it, unequal access to the levers of power. We’re split along regional lines. We’re Lee Hamilton divided along rural and urban lines. We increasingly struggle with differences of race, religion, and class. We’re also divided politically and ideologically. Abortion, gun rights, same-sex marriage, the use and abuse of police power, curbs on corporate power, environmental protection: these issues elicit strong feelings and cut deeply through the electorate. These divides permeate our politics in ways that, a generation ago, would have been unthinkable. It’s not just that public debate has become coarser, less civil, and more mean-spirited. It’s that

easily resolved, but do yield to discussion that is carried on rationally and with civility and respect. One peculiarity of this time of great unease, when lack of confidence in the country and its institutions is rampant and our differences are accentuated, is that it comes at a moment of economic growth. In the past, it’s usually been a sour economy that exacerbated divisions. That’s a puzzle, but it’s also an opportunity. It means that we have a prosperous economic backdrop that should allow us more easily to find common ground with one another, as I’ve seen happen in the past. It’s time to step up our game, move past our differences, and propel the country forward. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar, IU School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice, IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

partisanship is being woven into places we once believed were safe from it, such as the courts. So what do we do about this? The answer, actually, is not complicated. We have to boost public understanding about how to participate in the process. We have to be more mindful about the quality of public dialogue. We have to appreciate the roles of cooperation, collaboration, and compromise in a representative democracy. This means listening carefully and trying to understand the other’s point of view. It means figuring out how to accommodate differences, so that rather than every fight producing winners and losers, everyone can walk away with something gained. It means recognizing that we’re all searching for the common good. The greatness of our country rests on shared ideals that go beyond party labels. Most Americans want to believe that better days are ahead, that progress is possible, and that major policy disagreements may not be

back in July. He also expressed a need for the brush to be cut back at some of these intersections for better visibility for drivers. After the fatal accident in July, Burnett County Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs told the county infrastructure committee that his crews had gone out and cut back the brush “quite a bit in some areas” in Wood River. “Clearing brush is the most common maintenance practice we employ to ensure sight distance and visibility are maintained,” Hoefs said. “The highway department cleared brush and tree branches at the intersection of CTH Y and Crosstown Rd last summer and again this year. We also did a project at the intersection of CTH M and Crosstown Rd in the NE quadrant of the intersection to improve sight distance looking to the north.” Chell told the town board that the county board “is willing to do whatever it takes to prevent more accidents.” He also said that lighting up the stop signs would cost $2,000

and the spin alerts would cost $65 each. “They discussed adding a four-way stop sign to some of these intersections,” Chell said. “They also looked at changing or lowering the speed limit.” Hoefs explained his depart-

ment has limited jurisdiction on Town Roads. But did say some things will be done in the near future. “The County has purchased visual enhancements (spin alerts) for stop signs and they just arrived last week,” Hoefs said. “We will be putting these

out at select intersections in the near future. We will also be grinding rumble strips into the pavement ahead of stop signs at a couple locations on Crosstown and Wood River Road.” McKenna Marek of Grantsburg got into an accident in August of 2017 and has been working to make these intersections safer. “In just over two years at least 15 people were involved in five accidents. Three people lost their lives, two suffered moderate to severe injuries, and the remaining suffered minor injuries, McKenna said. “At least twelve of the individuals experienced their accidents at the intersection of South Williams Road and Wood River Road. Three individuals, including one death, occurred at the intersection of County Road Y and Crosstown Road. These accidents involved injuries to at least four persons 18 years of age and under.” She has set up a GoFundMe page, gofundme.com/saferroads-saving-lives, in hopes of raising funds to improve safety at some of the intersections in Wood River. “Donations collected will be

used to purchase four solar powered flashing stop signs that we would like to see put up by the Wood River Township on the intersections of Crosstown Road and County Road Y as well as Wood River Road and South Williams Road: specifically Crosstown Road heading East and West and Wood River Road heading East and West,” Marek wrote on the website. Marek has attempted to speak to the Board to discuss the issue of the intersections before and was told because she is not a Wood River resident her opinion would not be heard. She has also spoken to Grantsburg Fire Chief Cory Barnette and reached out to Representative Adam Jarchow for help. “I understand that the chairman only allows public comment from residents of the town, but residents of the town are not the only people who drive on these roads,” Marek said. “ I am encouraging residents of Wood River to voice their safety concerns and hopefully the streets can be made more safe.”

GRANTSBURG—In Monday’s meeting, the Grantsburg School Board looked toward next summer’s maintenance projects, received good news, and were thanked for their service to the community. John Erickson of DSGW Architects came to discuss next summer’s maintenance project–the high school gymnasium flooring and bleachers. Initially part of the work slated for completion this past summer, the project was moved to 2019. Part of this was due to the time it takes from ordering bleachers to delivery- approximately five months. Erickson advised the board to review offerings from various vendors and a decision made on which materials they will order.

BURNETT COUNTY --The Public safety committee heard reports from their various departments last week. They also approved a resolution that could help with some of the burden felt in the Child Support department. Child Support Director Shelly Hatch came to the meeting with a proposal for the state government to increase the funding for her department. It is a resolution that has been approved by the Wisconsin Counties Association. Every county in the state is being urged to pass this resolution and send them all collectively to the Governor. Hatch said they are asking for $30 million of funding from the state, with Burnett County asking for $1.5 million every year till 2021. The resolution states, “Wisconsin’s Child Support Enforcement Program is ranked second in the nation for collecting child support.” It goes on to explain that because of a federal funds matching program for every one dollar the state invests in the departments the federal funding invests two dollars. This means for the $1.5 million from the state will generate approximately $3 million each year. Hatch continued by saying that state funding for child support

services in Wisconsin has not increased since 2007. The committee approved the resolution and it will now go to the full County Board on Oct. 18. Sheriff Ron Wilhelm was in attendance to give the committee his report which began by saying they still have three deputy positions empty and don’t have any applications coming in. “It’s a nationwide epidemic,” Wilhelm said. He then explained how the Atlanta Police Department is looking to hire 300 officers and increase their starting salary by 30 percent. Wilhelm talked about the three police officers who were shot in Kansas City in July and another incident earlier this month in Florence, S.C. “In Waukesha County, they are hiring Joe Blow and paying their way through the 700-hour recruitment class,” Wilhelm said. “Then (new hires) have to sign (a contract) with the department for a certain amount of time after they are done with school.” He said that his department is still doing outreach to local high school students. “We still take young high school students on ride alongs and hopefully that makes them want to go into it after school,” Wilhelm said. He did have good news for the committee as well. At Grantoberfest in September, the depart-

Burnett County celebrates Wis. School Board Week Oct. 7–13 The Wisconsin Association of School Boards has set Oct. 7–13 as Wisconsin School Board Week as a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our communities. Burnett County schools are joining all public school districts across the state to celebrate Wisconsin School Board Week to honor local board members for their commitment to students and children in our communities and throughout the state of Wisconsin. “It takes strong schools to build a strong community,” said Grantsburg Superintendent, Dr. Joni Burgin. “These men and women devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn at a higher level.” “They make the tough decisions every month and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of accountability our citizens expect,” Jim Erickson,

Webster’s Superintendent, added. The key work of school boards is to raise student achievement by: • Creating a vision for what the community wants the school district to be and for making student achievement the top priority; • Establishing standards for what students will be expected to learn and be able to do; • Ensuring progress is measured to be sure the district’s goals are achieved and students are learning at expected levels; • Being accountable for their decisions and actions by continually tracking and reporting results; • Creating a safe, orderly climate where students can learn and teachers can teach; • Forming partnerships with others in the community to solve common problems; and • Focusing attention on the need for continuous improvement by questioning, refining and revising issues related to student achievement.

“School Board members give the citizens a voice in education decision making.” Siren Superintendent Dr. Kevin Stetler summed up. “Even though we make a special effort to show our appreciation in October, their contribution is a year-round commitment.” The Grantsburg School Board and their years of service are: Christine Erickson, 24 years; Russell Erickson, 14 years; David Dahlberg, 14 years; Jason Burkman, 8 years; Dan Ohnstad, 5 years; Heather Jensen, 3 years; Renae Rombach, 1 year. The members of the Siren School Board are: Peggy Moore-President, Duane Emery-Clerk, Mark Pettis-VP, Susie Imme Treasurer, Rhonda Highstrom, Chris Engstrom and Tiffany Meyer. Webster’s School Board consists of: Mark Elliott- President; Terry Larsen- VP, Brenda Rachner- Treasurer, Wendy Larson - Clerk, Bob Carlson, Melanie Johnson, and Katie Smith.

Fall is a time of year when hours of daylight grow shorter and weather conditions like fog can create challenges for motorists. The Wisconsin State Patrol’s October Law of the Month covers laws and safety tips on proper vehicle lighting. “Keeping all lights on your vehicle clean and functioning properly allows drivers to see whats ahead and will help ensure that other travelers can see you,” Wisconsin State Patrol Captain Nick Wanink of the Northwest Region said. Its also a good idea to clean the outside and inside of your vehicles windows to help enhance vision and reduce glare. State law requires drivers to use headlights during hours of darkness - defined as the period from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise - and all other times when there is insufficient natural light to clearly see a person or vehicle 500 feet away (equivalent to about one-and-ahalf football fields). Driving with defective vehicle lights can result in a warning from law enforcement requiring vehicle owners to complete needed repairs within a specified time frame. State law (347.06) provides for a citation of $163 and assessment of three demerit points for operating a motor vehicle without required lamps lighted. State law (347.12) requires drivers to dim their headlights whenever approaching or following within 500 feet of another vehicle. In 2016, state law was revised to require headlight use any time that weather conditions (such as fog, rain or snow) make it difficult to discern objects 500 feet away. “Many modern vehicles have an automatic headlight setting that functions well in most driving scenarios,” Captain Wanink said. “But, when in doubt, its a good idea to simply click on your vehicles low-beam headlights.”

County citizens asked to complete community health survey Community members are asked to share their opinion about the health needs of Burnett County by taking a brief survey. The survey results will be used by Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)-Public Health, Burnett Medical Center (BMC), and the Healthy Burnett coalition to guide activities to improve health. Public health departments and non-profit hospitals are required by law to complete a health needs assessment and improvement process every threeto-five years using community input. The process enables partners to gain a clear understanding of the county’s needs and assets, and then to proactively and strategically act to improve health. The survey is an important piece in understanding community needs. The survey consists of 11 questions and should take less than five minutes to complete. It is available online or in paper form. To complete the online survey, go to www.surveymonkey.com/r/ burnetthealthsurvey. Paper surveys are available at libraries, clinics, senior center, other public businesses and Burnett County Government Center. For more specific locations, visit www.

healthyburnett.org. We are asking community members to take an active role in identifying our top health issues,” said Sarah Miller, Interim Health Officer and WIC Director, Burnett County DHHS-Public Health. “Then, next spring we will invite community members and key stakeholders to review the results of the Halle Pardun assessment and BMC Marketing Director help prioritize the needs. From there, a plan of action will be created to address the top needs identified.” Along with the opinions and themes shared through the survey, the health assessment looks at county and state data on disease and death rates, health behaviors, access to care, environmental factors, and socioeconomic factors. “The survey results help us understand what the community sees as our top health issues. We use that information, along with public health data, to make

Through after-school activities, music competitions, and sports tournaments, I have been inside almost every school in the 28th District. I am nosey when I visit, checking out their bulletin boards, seeing where the Seniors will go when they graduate, and noting what the school spends money on, what they prioritize, what is their security? Both my kids started at Unity Elementary in pre-K or Kim Butler Kindergarten, and we had truly wonderful teachers who encouraged their love of learning. I served on the Unity Pre-K Parent Advisory Committee, volunteered in classrooms and at events, assisted with projects for teachers, served on the Community Education Council, attended school board meetings, and coached or ran several after school activities, including Destination Imagination, Girl Scouts, and AYSO Soccer. Over the years, I wrote Letters to the Editor to area newspapers supporting school referenda or state school funding. My children both chose to open-enroll into St Croix Falls, one in eighth grade, and the other in 1tenth. While I was sad for them to leave Unity, St Croix Falls was better able to meet their needs, and allowed them to meet new people, and spread their wings, pursuing goals like the Kohl’s Scholarship, Badger Boys State and Boys Nation, the Youth Options program, Conserve Semester School, and other advanced learning opportunities. While my kids have been successful, I have seen the budget cuts over the last eight years take their toll, as Governor Walker cut over a billion dollars in school funding. Over the years, and particularly in this election cycle, he increased funding, but when adjusted for inflation, this does not make up for his previous cuts. Walker’s Act 10, which deprived teachers their right to collective bargaining, and raised their health insurance costs, means Wisconsin now faces teacher shortages, and teacher training programs see fewer applicants. Districts around the state scramble to fill vacancies as teachers move to other states for better pay and working conditions. Our teachers soldier on, despite median salary rates dropping by double digits. Sadly, most of the wonderful teachers my kids had in elementary school were pushed out into early, unwanted retirement because of funding cuts. Not only are our kids missing out on their years of experience, the next generation of teachers won’t have their guidance in classroom management to be successful in their own classrooms. Award-winning teachers now

work as substitutes or in other fields. Stories like this prompted me to testify about school funding before the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee in Spooner in the spring of 2017 and this past spring in front of the Blue Ribbon Commission on School Funding in Turtle Lake. This summer, I attended sessions on school funding formulas at the Wisconsin Public Education Network’s Summer Summit in Appleton to better understand what our schools are facing. As the daughter of a retired public school teacher, and friend of teachers here and across the county, I know how hard most teachers work. Busy days at school are followed by nights and weekends grading tests and homework. Summer means summer school or continuing education to maintain professional licensure. Teachers need fair compensation, but also respect for their professional qualifications and their commitment to students. We need to prioritize education in our state budget. Tony Evers proposes to fund already-mandated Special Education programs at 60 percent, a large increase which would free up a lot of money for schools to spend on deferred maintenance, teacher compensation, etc. We need to insure fair funding formulas for rural schools, particularly those with declining enrollment. I don’t want to do this by increasing taxes on the majority of Wisconsinites - rather, we need to make sure the most wealthy are paying their fair share of taxes. I am also interested in what’s known as a “circuit breaker” which could shelter seniors from increasing property taxes. I am well aware of the struggle some residents on fixed incomes face due to rising property taxes. We need to insure public tax dollars go to public schools. Recently, too much funding has been moved to vouchers for unaccountable religious or private

schools, who do not show improved educational outcomes over our public schools. Furthermore, 70 percent of the students in private and religious schools were already enrolled before the Walker voucher program. I don’t want my tax dollars giving a tax break to a wealthy family from Wauwatosa. Public schools have been the backbone of America, and can help bring future success, if we adequately fund them. School Safety is not a new issue for our districts. A bomb threat kept kids home from Unity 10 years ago. Since the Columbine shootings, area schools have constantly increased their security. Most schools already have cameras, locked entrances, and controlled admission requiring I.D. Many schools have School Safety/Resource Officers and have been doing ALICE, or active shooter drills for years. What they lack are school psychologists and social workers, and adequate mental health care in our community to assist students with mental health and other personal issues, to create a strong culture of support and anti-bullying in our schools. I will work to increase funding in these areas, as well as make sure the schools that don’t yet have adequate security get the resources they need. We also need to work on anti-violence measures at all levels of our society. I defer to the recommendations of the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association, whose school safety recommendations include background checks and waiting periods for gun purchases. The Chiefs advise against armed teachers and armed guards. If you’ve read this far, I hope you understand my deep commitment to the success of our students and public schools, which I will bring to the legislature, and continue long after my own children graduate.

CANDIDATE VIEWS: How to improve education in our area? What resources are necessary? GAE MAGNAFICI REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 28

Our area is lucky to have some great schools and great teachers. The kids attending our public schools are fortunate to be receive a quality education right here in Northwestern Wisconsin. The peace of mind families get, knowing their children will be educated when moving to a new, growing area like ours is extremely Gae Magnafici important and most times a game changer. This is part of the reason this area is growing at a rapid pace. For example, the iForward program at the Grantsburg School District is something to be proud of. iForward is an online school that helps kids learn in a completely different setting from all across the state. I am so proud that an innovative program like iForward is thriving here in Northwestern Wisconsin. Our schools are great, so do we need to do anything to improve them? Of course there is always room for improvement and innovation. In recent years the state has been investing in Fab Labs all across the state. WEDC’s (Wis-

consin Economic Development Corporation) Fab Lab program supports public school districts with equipment purchases used for instructional and educational purposes in fabrication laboratories in Wisconsin schools. Fab Labs are a local resource that trains the next generation of manufacturers tailored to the needs of local businesses. We are fortunate to have a Fab Lab at the Somerset School District and one opening in Spring 2019 in Osceola. I am looking forward to the future success of Fab Labs in our district and across the state and am so happy for the students who will benefit from them. Keeping and attracting teachers all comes down to the environment in which they are expected to teach. Wisconsin’s economy is booming and the economy of Northwestern Wisconsin is growing by the day. Young teachers want to go to school districts that are growing and innovating. In the past eight years, Wisconsin has created an environment for job growth and lower taxes. This attracts families to Northwestern Wisconsin and teachers who want to work and live in our area. Area schools also have to work at getting students ready for college or their careers. Working with technical schools and local businesses, high school students are getting ready for the workforce

by learning exactly what local companies need them to know before getting to work. Vocational and technical training helps create a workforce for the jobs of tomorrow. If a student can earn college credits while in high school, they are one step ahead of their peers who may not have had that opportunity. Children should expect to be safe while inside the walls of any school in the United States. The State of Wisconsin has offered school safety grants to schools across the state to make their schools safer. This is being done by adding school safety officers, utilizing metal detectors, adding cameras to school entrances, and other safety measures. Personally, my family has been affected by a school safety issue. This spring, an incident occurred at my granddaughter’s high school in Illinois where a former student entered a gym full of students and began shooting. When an armed resource officer entered the scene one minute later, under gunfire, he shot and stopped the shooter. My granddaughter was in the room next door. If it were not for an armed school resource officer, the outcome of that incident could have been tragic and lives could have been lost. If elected to the State Assembly, I will support grants to school district to keep our children safe.

To drink or not to drink RESTORATIVE JUSTICE OF NW WI, INC.

Too often, underage drinking is an expectation, not a choice. Across the United States, teenagers and young adults are suffering as a result of their own or others’ drinking. There are increased risks and a range of negative consequences related to underage drinking. Despite the devastating risks, individuals who abuse alcohol usually don’t stop drinking. When a person is dependent on alcohol, they have a strong urge to drink, are unable to stop once they start drinking, experience withdrawal symptoms if they do stop, and need more alcohol to feel similar effects. It may be tough to tell when drinking alcohol turns into a problem but here are some signs and symptoms of alcohol abuse: • Drinking alone • Legal trouble, like driving under the influence • Drinking with the goal to get drunk • Intoxicated often • Keeping alcohol in unexpected places like the car • Suffer physical symptoms when not drinking (e.g., nausea, sweating, shaking, restlessness) • Having more than four drinks a day (for women) or five (for men) • Making excuses for drinking If you or someone you know abuses alcohol, here are some things that can help: Seek help. If alcohol is interfering with your life or you can’t stop drinking on your own, it’s important to see a counselor and get help. Practice healthy habits. Taking good care of yourself is vital. Get enough sleep, eat well, exercise and find healthy ways to cope with stress. Stay around people who are supportive. Spend time with people who support you and genuinely care about your well-being. Change is possible; millions of people choose to drink more healthily or stop drinking each year, and their lives and the lives of those around them change as a result.

Fall colors and caribou If anyone had seen my erratic progress across the open tundra they might have assumed me possessed. Thankfully, rolling hills of glacial sediment hid me from the view of what little civilization hummed nearby at the Toolik Field Station. Careening from one burst of beauty to the next, I was reveling in the gorgeous rainbows that autumn (i.e. late August) had flung across the landscape. Scarlet carpets of alpine bearberry clustered around boulders. Thickets of dwarf birch sported leafy little doilies in gradients of red and orange. Willows claimed the most vibrant, glossy yellows for their own adornment, but sneakily retained all my favorite shades of green as well. Blue and purple found their homes in the berries and leaves of bog blueberry. Camera in hand, I raced to create a lasting record of my amazement. I aimed my camera high as well as low, since the colors at my feet spread clear out to the horizon. I’m no stranger to the magic of fall. From the river bluffs of Northeast Iowa, to the pastoral hills of Vermont, the cranberry fields of Maine, and now the red maples of Northern Wisconsin, I gravitate toward places with a kaleidoscope of seasons. Autumn on the Alaskan tundra was a whole new spectacle, though. With ground-hugging shrubs— all of them circumpolar species that grow around the top of the globe--instead of tall trees, it looked like the land itself was drenched in a rainbow swirl of melted crayon. At my feet, wiry brown lichens clutched droplets of melted morning frost in their twig-like tips. Kneeling down to photograph them, I was soon lost in the miniature world of reflections contained in each drop. It’s not a good idea to be too enraptured by the foreground in grizzly country though, so after a bit I stood and scanned my surroundings carefully. A northern harrier floated by looking for voles. Nothing else moved. So I moved. My purported destination for this walk was Jade Mountain, which still loomed a good distance away. As I neared the edge of the small knoll, something caught my attention in the swale. Brown. White. Skinny. A bull caribou stood with his rump patch toward me, his neck craned around to investigate, and his tree-like antlers towering above. I held my breath and snapped the shutter over and over as he stood on alert. When a sudden movement startled him into a trot, three smaller bulls followed him out of the vale and over the ridge. What a thrill!

EMILY STONE

Alpine bearberry is a circumpolar plant that grows all around the top of the globe. It’s scarlet leaves carpet the autumn tundra and lingonberry leaves peek through.

Caribou were actually the official reason I’d come here, to the Toolik Field Station on the North Slope of the Brooks Range. My research partner, Tessa, had driven down to the snowshoe hare research site near Wiseman to pick me up a few days before. Since then we’d been cruising up and down the rough gravel of the Dalton Highway between Toolik and Prudhoe Bay looking for caribou. Of the 32 caribou herds in Alaska, four of them have their calving grounds on the North Slope. Tessa and I were studying the Central Arctic Caribou Herd. Their population plummeted from a high of about 70,000 ani-

I was in constant awe of the rich colors that blanketed the tundra landscape north of the Arctic Circle and north of treeline.

mals in 2010, to 22,000 in 2016. Hunters, hunting guides, and pilots noticed the population decline before it showed up in the wildlife manager’s data. Scott Leorna was already doing his master’s project on the caribou, so he added a citizen science component to his research to figure out how the hunters knew. Scott worked with web developers to create a smartphone app that the public can use to record caribou observations in the study area. In order to calibrate the app and gauge the effectiveness of the public in spotting caribou along the road, he conscripted several pairs of fellow graduate students from the University Alaska Fairbanks. They and other volunteers drive through his study area at no more than 35 mph with the sole goal of seeing every caribou along the road. That 132-mile journey takes more than 6 hours. Tessa and I saw varying numbers of caribou on each of our five sampling days, and they were mostly solo or in small groups. As I learned, “herd” is a relative term. The animals gather in full force only on their calving grounds, and drift off to other feeding areas for summer, fall, and winter. The population decline that this herd has experienced is pretty normal. Just like with snowshoe hares, when numbers get high, like in 2010, their forage quality declines, birth rate slows, and predators increase. What’s unique about this herd is that ever since the Dalton Highway was built to access the oil resources at Prudhoe Bay, these roadside caribou have become an increasingly important resource to both resident and non-resident hunters. Bumpy roads and tired eyes notwithstanding, it was a fine gig for a volunteer. In addition to caribou, we spotted red fox, short-eared owls, golden eagles, and muskoxen along the road. I exclaimed every few minutes about the stunning beauty of the fall colors, and, on the one sunny day, snowcapped mountains rimmed our view. Tessa earned her undergraduate degree in wildlife management from UW-Stevens Point, is dating a Minnesotan, and has even been to the Boundary Waters. We had much in common. Visiting the Toolik Field Station had been on my bucket list since I first started planning my trip to Alaska. Run by the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks with support from the National Science Foundation, it is a hub for scientists (my superheroes) who are studying the Arctic. In addition to longterm datasets, labs, and equipment, the field station also provides researchers with gourmet food, rustic housing, a beautiful sauna, and high-speed WiFi. Plus, it’s nestled along the shore of beautiful Toolik Lake, among the prettiest fall colors I’ve ever seen. Possessed? Sure I’m possessed—by an overwhelming sense of wonder at and gratitude for the experiences I’ve had. Emily was in Alaska for the summer! She’s home now, but has more stories to tell. Follow the journey in this column, and see additional stories and photos on her blog: http://cablemuseum.org/connect.

Miscellany Boutique offers unique items sold in a unique setting LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

In June, Miscellany Boutique, A Collection of Treasures, opened its doors as an occasional sale storefront. The brainchild of Peggy and Ron Skold, the shop offers a combination of retail, antique, vintage and handcrafted items in limited quantities. Operating on their property on Pike Bend Road, Peggy said the venture has been a learning experience. “We had an in-ground pool, and we filled that in and put a garden there. This was a changing house with a shower and two changing areas,” Peggy says of the smaller of the two structures. “We converted this room into a kitchen and another into a bathroom. We used it for years when we had guests and called it the Cabin. “We had looked at properties and were going to rent a space. Then I thought, what if we renovate the Cabin. Ron said, ‘That won’t be big enough.’ So, we got the shed. And I’m so glad we did because we are right here. “It’s been fun. A lot of work, but a lot of fun. A lot of things

Peggy Skold created an occasional store in her old pool house near Lower Clam Lake. The shop offers limited edition and one-of-a-kind items.

we didn’t know about. Next year we know that signage is a big thing. Going forward we need bigger signs; we need more signs.” For Peggy, who has a fulltime job as a therapist, the occasional store was an outgrowth from her custom paintings. While she does not have a background in art, painting

has been her sanctuary and form of therapy. “I’ve always painted.” Ron makes frames to house her creations, as well as other rustic home décor items. Her subject matter ranges from landscapes to animals. But her most popular commissions were accidental. “I started these as a fluke,” Peggy says about pet portraits.

“But I love them. I did one for a friend whose pet passed away, and I got three orders last night. It’s usually four-to-six weeks to get one done, but I may have to extend that.” Peggy said one of the biggest challenges is inventory. “I’m still figuring out what sells, and I’m so wrong sometimes. I think, ‘I’ll get this. It’s kind

of cute’ and people are ‘Do you have any more of these?’ Other times, nothing. Or we make something and find we have to make more.” The Skolds go hunting for antique items to stock the store, and most of their merchandise, vintage or retail, are limited or one-of-a-kind in nature. Something their customers would not find somewhere else. And the flexibility of an occasional shop has definite advantages. “I just decide when I’m going to have the sale,” Peggy said. “And I’ve done a couple things now where a customer asked if I was going to be open a certain date because her family was coming. I said, ‘no, but I can open an hour or so for you. ‘So, I can do that and people think that’s cool they can have that private experience.” Miscellany Boutique’s next sale is Saturday, Oct. 20, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. There will also be holiday sales in November and December for gift-giving needs.

Regional Hospice Catch a Dream program – a patient story “My beliefs may be different than most people. I believe that wishes come true in fairy tales, dreams you get while you are asleep, bucket lists are too heavy for most people to carry. I like to use the plain and simple terms life experiences.” These are the wise words of a hospice patient who wanted to share her story to help others understand all that hospice has to offer. “Regional Hospice gave me the gift of an experience through their Catch a Dream program.” Regional Hospice provides a holistic approach to care for the patients and families they have the privilege to serve. Hospice care is not just about pain and symptom management but providing support to those living with a terminal illness to help make the most of the time they have. Hospice care is about helping people live their days with a purpose and a focus on what is most important to them. The Regional Hospice Catch a Dream program is designed to do just that. Most can recall their last scan, test or clinic appointment in the course of their illness which can take away from

duced to a patient with the explanation of the intent of the program and a few examples of what had been offered to others as an experience. After hearing of the program, the patient shared with her nurse that she had never had a ride in a limousine.

This put the wheels in motion and after a few phone calls by the hospice team, a date had been set and the plan was in place to have the limousine arrive at her home. “They gave me a life experience, a ride in a long white limo. I invited some of my family and we went on a ride and out to lunch. It was a wonderful trip and I will never forget the experience. I truly was treated like a princess- complete with a tiara I wore.” She shared her appreciation for the day right down to the limo driver who was “fantastic.” Vicky’s story not only highlights what our Catch a Dream program is all about but is a great gift of a reminder to all of us that life is about the experience so take the time to enjoy the ride!

Tigers silence Knights in second half for the win BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—“The defense is the big emphasis whenever you get a muddy field like this; the defense has got to go,” said Tiger coach Andy Smith following his Tigers 24-16 win over the Lake Holcombe-Cornell Knights on Friday night. Webster’s defense held the Knights scoreless in the second half and the Tiger offense used one score to break a 16-16 tie for the win. “When you have a 6-1 Lakeland Conference football team come in, and they are a second half team and then you hold them to no score, that’s something,” praised Coach Smith. On Webster’s second offensive possession, the Tigers started on their own 35. They worked their way downfield, mixing a pass or two with the run to get it to the Knights 14. From there, quarterback Trevor Gustafson weaved his way through the defense for the first touchdown of the game. He also crossed the line for the two point conversion, Webster 8, Lake Holcombe-Cornell 0. LH/C fumbled on their next possession with the Tigers recovering the ball

on the Knights 20. With less than two minutes gone into the second quarter, Gustafson found Brad Sigfrids open and Sigfrids caught the pass for a 10-yard score. Gustafson once again crossed the line for the two point conversion and Webster was up

16-0. Both teams failed to move the ball on their next possessions. After the Tigers had punted the ball back to the Knights, LH/C scored on a 36-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion was good and the Knights

had cut the deficit in half, 16-8. With a little over a minute left in the half, Lake Holcombe/Cornell scored on a nine-yard TD run. The two-point conversion was good and the score was tied at 16, which was carried to halftime. On the Knights’ first possession of the second half, Xavier Stanton intercepted a LH/C pass and gave the Tigers the ball at midfield. However, the Tigers couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity, punting the ball back to the Knights. The defenses for both teams held strong through the remainder of the third period with Webster having possession at their own 34 when quarter four began. The Tigers were forced to punt, and subsequently so did the Knights with Webster regaining possession on the 50. On the fourth play from scrimmage, with the ball on the LH/C 5, Gustafson ran it across for the score. He also did the conversion and Webster now led 2416 with 4:33 left in the game. After the ensuing kickoff, the Knights started at their 40. Two consecutive tackles for losses pushed LH/C back to their own 15. SEE TIGERS ON PAGE XX

Parents night bigger than volleyball BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—“It was an emotional night for the Siren volleyball family. Not only was it parents’ night and senior night, but the mother of a Siren varsity senior had just passed away the day before,” Pirates head coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “We were all amazed at Julia’s strength and composure. The support from the fans was very touching, with both towns and teams choosing to honor Julia’s mother Georgia with pink attire.” “My athletes received word the night before, and quickly asked our fans to wear pink, made pink hair ribbons for the team, and ordered flowers. I’m proud of their compassion and thoughtfulness.” “It isn’t really like the old days when towns were rivals that were often either strangers or bitter enemies. These days, these kids are all connected. Athletes from competing schools are often friends on social media and in real life as well as teammates in the off-season. And of course, friendship and care after such a deep loss always transcend the competitiveness of sport.” In the midst of all of the emotions of the night, there was a volleyball game to be played. The Pirates came away with a 3-0 sweep of their neighbors by scores of 25-8, 25-12 and 25-13. The Dragons recorded 13 kills on the night with Hannah Lemieux leading the way with five of those. Karlee Sybers was right on her heels with four kills of her own. Cassie Maslow, Hannah Mangelsen, Jade Horstman and Julia Cederberg tallied

one kill each. Rylee O’Brien was the assist leader for the Dragons with nine for the night. Siren served up three aces on the night — one each from Horstman, O’Brien and Kyleigh Lightfeather. Sybers had the only block of the match for the Dragons. For Grantsburg, middle hitter Olivia Ohnstad led her Pirates with 10 kills. Linda Harmon added seven kills and Hanne Johnson four. Randi Siebenthal, Olivia Brock and Rachel Tooze had three kills each. Charli Siebenthal was the assist leader with 14 followed by McKenzie Rombach with six and Ellie Duncan with five. Jenna McNally tallied 17 digs on the night to lead the team defensively. Randi Siebenthal had 11 digs with Harmon, Ohnstad and Kaitlin Olson recording four digs each. Johnson led the team in blocks with three, while Ohnstad and Brooke Quimby had two each. The Dragons are done with the regular season, and are off until Tuesday when they will host Lake Holcombe in the opening round of Regional playoff action. Game time is 7 p.m. For the Pirates, they finish up conference play on Thursday night as they travel to Unity for a 7:15 p.m. game. On Saturday, they will head to Altoona for a tournament. They received the number one seed in Division 3 and will have a first round bye. They will host the winner of Cumberland vs KASSIE MULLINS | SENTINEL Siren’s Hannah Lemieux tips the ball over the Grantsburg block Cameron on Thursday, October 18. Game time is last Tuesday night.

Pirates cruise to victory over Comets BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

CAMERON—The Grantsburg Pirates remain undefeated on the season after a 55-0 victory over the Cameron Comets on a wet and cold Friday night. “Cameron is young and having a tough season but credit their guys for continuing to fight each week,” Pirates head coach Adam Hale said. “We did what we needed to early in the game and had big plays in all three phases of the game.” The Pirates dominated the young Comets from the start and racked up 35 points in the first quarter to seal the win. On the Pirates’ first offensive play, Leo Chenal busted loose and took it 68 yards to pay dirt for the first score of the game. Jared VanWatermuelen would hit his first of seven extra points to go up 7-0. With 5:08 left in the quarter, Leo Chenal struck again. This time it was a 66-yard run for the score. The PAT was good making it 14-0. Grantsburg’s defense shut down the Comets, forcing them to punt. Freshman Isaac Quimby returned the punt 60 yards to set the Pirates up at the twoyard line. On the very next play, Jordan Gaffney plowed his way through the line for the score. The PAT was good to go up 21-0. The Pirates got on the board again a short time later when Tyrell Brande picked off a Cameron pass and took it 30 yards for the score. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good again to take a 28-0 lead with 2:01 left to play in the quarter. The Comets went three and out again, putting the Pirates back on offense. It didn’t take long for them to score again. This time, it was Bryce Roufs who took a pitch from quarterback Luke Anderson and ran around the edge to go 39 yards for the touchdown with 32 seconds left to play. The PAT was good to take a 35-0 first quarter lead. Leo Chenal got his third touchdown of the game early in the second quarter. This time he cruised into the end zone

Jordan Gaffney (75) scored a touchdown from two yards out for the Pirates Friday night.

untouched from six yards out. The PAT was good to put the Pirates up 42-0. Roufs got the Pirates on the board again on a 54-yard run with just over three minutes to go in the half. Again, VanWatermuelen’s PAT was true to make it 49-0. The officials began the running clock rule midway through the second quarter, making the remainder of the game fly by. The Pirates did score once again late in the game when David Nelson ran it in from 37 yards out. VanWatermuelen missed his only PAT of the night to end the scoring at 55-0. Leo Chenal was the Pirates’ leading rusher with six carries for 161 yards and three touchdowns. Roufs racked up 101 yards on three carries and two TDs. Nelson carried the ball seven times for 54 yards and one score. Levi Miller had three carries for 27 yards and Quimby had four carries for 16 yards. With the misty, foggy weather there wasn’t much of a passing game. Anderson was one of five for 15 yards, and Sterling McKinley was one of four for eight yards. Leo Chenal caught one

TIGERS: Playoff spot secured with win CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20

On the attempt to punt, the snap was poor, the punter mishandled the slippery ball and in his successful attempt to recover the ball, his knee touched the ground, ending the play. Webster took over on the Knight nine-yard line. A sack by the Knight defense, a short gain by the Tigers, and a penalty on the Tigers caused Webster to attempt a pass play, but Lake Holcombe/Cornell intercepted the pass and the Knights started from their 20. The Tiger defense held, Webster took

over on offense, and ran out the clock for the win. “I have nothing but respect for the Lake Holcombe-Cornell coaching staff,” said Coach Smith. “They are a class act team.” Regarding his own program, Coach Smith stated, “This is the second time in recent years that we’re looking at the playoffs, so that’s something we can build on. We’re going to get back to work on Sunday and keep cracking. I’m very proud of these guys.” The Tigers host St. Croix Falls on Friday at 7 p.m.

Holy Humor

Reverend Marilyn CrossďŹ eld First Lutheran and Laketown Lutheran Parish

Have you ever thought of the places in the Bible where laughter happens? Or perhaps the stories in the Bible that seem so absurd, surely there was laughter? I recently gathered with other church leaders talking about laughter. Not just laughter, holy laughter. Those places in our lives where the reality is that things are so out of balance, so far from our idea of reality, that there is nothing to do but laugh. Yet, in those times of laughter, holy healing occurs. I still remember a holy healing moment that occurred for me quite some time after my brother-in-law died. The family was hanging out and started talking about Michael and all the things we remembered and

missed about him. I shared one of my first memories of Michael, where he had come home with a minor but noticeable injury, but no one noticed because, unbeknownst to me this was typical Michael. He was always pushing the limits and had the scars to show for it. Together we laughed ,and then we cried and laughed again. Prior to that, we had a hard time sharing anything together. But in that moment, we shared one of Michaels lovable quirks and our love for him, and a part of our relationships began to heal. God gives us the gift of laughter. When was the last time you really laughed? God knows our struggles, and sometimes it is

hard to laugh. Sometimes we take ourselves and life so seriously we cant laugh. My prayer is that you can hear God’s love for you. That God will bring you moments of joy, and one day holy laughter will heal your heart. I believe that God gives us laughter as well as tears. Just ask Abraham and Sarah, I can imagine there were tears with their laughter when God told them they were going to be parents at 100 and 90 years old (Genesis 17&19). And they were blessed. May you too be blessed. May God’s Love shower you with moments of holy laughter to bring healing and joy to your soul.

Breast cancer survival rates soar A breast cancer diagnosis can be a devastating blow. Upon receiving such a diagnosis, people may begin to ask questions about treatment and the impact cancer may have on their personal lives. Many people who are diagnosed with cancer also begin to wonder about their mortality. An estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 63,960 new cases of non-invasive, or in situ, breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year, according to Breastcancer.org. According to the latest statistics presented by the Canadian Breast Cancer foundation, 26,300 women and 230 men had been diagnosed with breast cancer in Canada in 2017. The good news is that breast cancer incidence rates began decreasing in 2000 after increasing for the previous

two decades. In addition, death rates from breast cancer have been decreasingly steadily since 1989. The National Cancer Institute says that the change in age-adjusted mortality rates are an indicator of the progress being made in the fight against breast cancer. The most recent SEER Cancer Statistics Review released in April 2018 indicates cancer death rates among women decreased by 1.4 percent per year between the years of 2006 and 2015. The American Cancer Society says that decreasing death rates among major cancer types, including prostate, colorectal, lung, and breast cancers, are driving the overall shift in survival. The ACS says breast cancer death rates among women declined by 39 percent from 1989 to 2015. That progress is attributed to improvements in early detection and treatment protocols. For anyone doing the math, over the last 25 years or so, 322,000 lives have been saved from breast cancer. A similar scenario has unfolded in Canada. Breast cancer mortality rates in Canada recently

decreased to 21.4 percent, down from 21.8 percent in 2011, states data from the Canadian Cancer Society. Currently, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer among Canadians is 87 percent, and the five-year net survival in the United States is 85 percent. Increased knowledge about breast

cancer, early detection through examinations and mammography and improved treatments are helping to drive up the survival rates of breast cancer. Although this does not make diagnosis any less scary, it does offer hope to those recently diagnosed.

Alcohol and breast cancer risk Many people unwind with a glass of wine or a cocktail after a stressful day, and some research suggests that mild to moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages can have various health advantages. According to the Mayo Clinic, moderate consumption of alcohol has been linked to a lower risk of developing and dying from heart disease, possibly reducing the risk of ischemic stroke and potentially reducing the risk of diabetes. However, for some people, the risks of consuming alcohol may outweigh the benefits. Many studies show that drinking alcohol may increase the risk of breast cancer, advises the research and information organization Susan J. Komen. The group says pooled analysis of data from 53 studies found that, for each alcoholic drink consumed per day, the relative risk for breast cancer increases by about 7 percent. Researchers aren’t quite sure why there is an increased risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol intake, but experts at MD Anderson Cancer Center have some theories. Some theorize that alcohol can increase levels of estrogen and other hormones that affect breast cancer formation and growth. Excess fat can lead to an increased cancer risk, and

the consumption of empty calories through drinking alcohol can lead to unwanted weight gain. Furthermore, those who consume alcohol have increased amounts of folic acid in their systems, which can increase cancer risk. The nonprofit breast cancer organization Breastcancer.org states that, compared to women who don’t drink at all, women who have three alcoholic drinks per week have a 15 percent higher risk of breast cancer. Experts also estimate that the risk of breast cancer goes up another 10 percent for each additional drink women regularly consume each day. Keep in mind that a drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of liquor. Women who want to do all they can to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer may want to avoid alcohol.

Burnett County survivors: Theresa Brenner LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

WEBSTER—Theresa Brenner is back in business. After treatment for breast cancer earlier this year, she sat in Rustic Hearts Gift Shop on Main Street in Webster to share her insights on her experience. Brenner is a pleasant, thoughtful woman currently sporting a head full of short curls. “They’re cancer curls. I didn’t have curly hair before,” she laughs. Brenner and her husband, Chuck, call the Twin Cities home but have had a place in the area for 17 years, where she spends part of the week. Rustic Hearts Gift Shop has a bit of everything, from clothing and gift items to coloring books, unique decorative articles, and some to-die-for coffee bark made in Osceola. It is a fitting place to learn her story, as its very existence is intertwined with the disease that claims 41,000 lives a year in the US. This was not Brenner’s first experience with breast cancer. Her mother, Marie, was first diagnosed with Stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma in 1995. Six years after Marie’s initial treatments, she learned that cancer had metastasized to her liver and lungs. Brenner was with her mother through the subsequent rounds of treatment, which eventually took Marie’s life in 2013. A product of Brenner’s grieving and healing process, Rustic Hearts Gift Shop opened in 2014. It was while at the store that she received the fateful call in September 2017. “I was working alone at the store,” Brenner recalls. “It seemed surreal, like this couldn’t be happening. I was almost the same age as my mother when she was diagnosed.” But she was not really surprised. “I always had a feeling I’d be diagnosed with breast cancer someday,” Brenner says. “But it wasn’t something I could dwell on.” Brenner was diagnosed with Stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma. At the size of a pea, doctors said the tumor contained tens of millions of cancer cells. Because her genetic testing was negative for the BRCA mutation, she chose to undergo a lumpectomy followed by four rounds of chemotherapy and

radiation. “I wanted any stray cancer cells hiding out in my body destroyed. I wanted a full cure,” Brenner shares. “Chemo was not required, but it would knock the chance of recurrence from 12 percent in five years into the single digits. Of course, there is no guarantee it won’t come back, but at least I would know I did everything I could.” Since Rustic Hearts closes in the winter, Brenner was able to concentrate on her medical plan. She underwent chemotherapy first followed by radiation, which she completed in May of this year. But Brenner found she was in no shape to open the store. “I had no idea how tired I would be. I

had no idea how exhausting it would be, even after the treatments were done.” Brenner says. “I delayed opening for the season until August. I still feel tired a lot. I only work three to four days a week.” Brenner shares that while deeply involved with her mother’s cancer journey, she was surprised by the differences when she received her diagnosis. “For me (with my mom) it was, ‘OK this is a problem we have to solve.’ As much as I knew what she was going through as a support person, it was a different story when it was me,” Brenner says. “I wish I understood her emotions a little bit more then. I feel like I understand that better now.

“I learned that it isn’t just going through the physical part, there is the emotional part. And those aren’t always in sync. I might be feeling well physically, but inside I was a mess. And vice versa.” Which goes hand in hand with what Brenner feels is one of the best things to come out of her experience. “I’m tougher than I thought I would be. I thought I would be afraid of everything I feel like I can handle adversity better now.” Brenner’s advice to people newly diagnosed is one of self-care. “Take care of yourself. Don’t be in a rush to tell people. Allow yourself time to come to accept it,” she advises. “When you tell people, they say things that are meant to be helpful. But sometimes they are hurtful, especially when you are in a fragile state.” She also recommends taking time to do your research. “Take your time. Learn about the options. Do what’s right for you.” For Brenner, that meant reading articles online and following blogs. Unlike some, she did not join a support group. When Brenner reopened her store in August, she received an unexpected reception. “I had posted on Facebook why this year’s opening was delayed. And one of the most amazing things was that when I reopened, people came to me and told me their stories,” Brenner shares. “I really enjoyed that, the validation and I appreciated people being so kind to me.” “I don’t mind sharing my story and wearing pink ribbons to help bring awareness to the importance of early breast cancer detection,” Brenner states, “but we need to find a cure.” Brenner strongly believes in the benefits of early detection. “Once (my mother) was diagnosed, I was hyperaware. I have been very regular on my yearly screenings since then. Which is probably why we caught it so early. Mine was caught (at an earlier stage) than hers. Early detection saves lives, and I believe that mammogram in 2017 saved mine.” As for moving forward, Brenner shares some good news. “Last week, I had a 3D mammogram, and it was completely normal! I treated myself to a beautiful henna tattoo on my arm. It’s temporary, but it’s an empowering symbol of victory and new life.”
