Help yourself not be a victim SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
BURNETT COUNTY—There is enough upsetting news coming at us from outside our county, let’s try and keep our community safe and happy. Recently, Burnett County home and business owners have seen a frenzy of burglaries disrupt our daily lives. Unfortunately, we are not immune to such crimes in our small, rural communities. As many have heard, the police are
investigating a series of break-ins at area taverns and there has been a spike in home break-ins, also. Officials are working toward answers, the owners are taking extra precautions, and many of us are just hoping this influx of crime begins to decline very soon. While we are all aware of this, many may not be thinking...It could have been me. Our quiet, northern towns are used to being unlocked and unafraid, we like to trust our neighbors. We should trust each other; however, facts are facts, and we all need to be cautious and not make
theft and other such crimes easy. We need to help ourselves not be victims. Or, at least, make it difficult to become one. Burnett County Officials are asking for county residents to lock up. Consider closing and locking the garage at night, the front door, and, when the engine is off, keep the keys with you. After all, making a call to the police about a stolen item, an item that wasn’t secure, there is not much for officials to do. There is no evidence of a break-in if a person walked in and walked out
without an obstacle. So, just keep in mind, as citizens, we can help make crimes more difficult to commit. Sheriff Ron Wilhelm is urging people to take precaution. Don’t ask for trouble. “Lock up your homes, garages and outbuilding. Remove the keys from your vehicles and other equipment in your yards. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.”

The cranes have an extensive migration period and take residence in Burnett County for quite some time. Many of them can even be spotted just off Highway 70 on the south side.
Spectacular crane migration draws visitors to Grantsburg JACKIE BUSSJAEGER FOREST LAKE LOWDOWN EDITOR
GRANTSBURG—Giant wings and rattling, primeval birdcalls fill the air each fall at Crex Meadows Wildlife Area in Grantsburg. The
migration of Sandhill Cranes—elegant birds that stand up to four feet tall—draws visitors to the area from across Minnesota, Wisconsin and beyond. “The cranes are the big attraction,” said Crex Meadows Wildlife
Educator Lauren Finch. “They have a really long migration season, and they’re here for quite a while. The reason people come here, why Crex is such a great place, is because we have a large
GOVERNMENT CENTER— On the night of Sept. 11, 2016, a Burnett County officer received a phone call. The caller, a local gas station employee, expressed concern that the driver of a blue Chevrolet Blazer may be intoxicated. Several minutes later, the official noticed the car driving slowly southbound on Highway 35, leading back into the Village of Webster. The driver was Bryon K. Nickence, 59, Webster.

Pirate homecoming court brings smiles to all SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG—Vote for Lucas was the theme of the Grantsburg sophomore class in the weeks leading up to Homecoming. Several students through word of mouth, Snapchat and any other means possible made sure their classmate Lucas Robert Livingston made the 2017 Homecoming Court line-up. Livingston is 15 and has Down Syndrome. However, that is merely one aspect of his life. This young man is an avid dancer, music enthusiast, football lover and according to his sister, Emily, has the ability to make anyone smile. Livingston found out about his newfound royalty the Monday before Homecoming. Once his name was announced, the school erupted in “Yay, Lucas!” cheers and he happily accepted his position. “I was excited. It was really cool,” he said when asked about his first thoughts after the announcement. Livingston then decided he needed a date. He made quick work of that. “We’ve been friends forever. We played together when we were little,” he said of his Homecoming date and fellow sophomore, Jillian Seeger. Friday night’s Pirate bash started with a bang as the football team posted
64 points against Shell Lake. Then the dance began and Livingston and Seeger took to the dance floor. While the music played, many cameras flashed in the background. Many of these photographers were from the Grantsburg yearbook class, ready and happy to capture the moment. One member of the class said, “He (Livingston) is the reason I went.” Another said, “He is very loved at this school.” Para Professional Kari Java said with a wide smile, “He is a pretty cool guy. He’s nice, caring, fun to be around and always a hard worker.” She added, “It’s really amazing, it takes a lot for students to put something like this together,” referring to the class-wide rally to elect Livingston. However, after taking a walk through the school, and seeing hands reach out from lunch tables to offer up high-fives to their classmate, it is hard to believe there was any competition for Livingston. When he walks the halls, his smile turns the corners of everyones’ lips towards the sky. Grantsburg proved that inclusion is what matters to them this past week. “He was so excited, and I was excited for him. I’m proud of him,” said Emily Livingston. She added, “This is a great school. I’m happy this happens here.”

Chat soon Well, I’ll say goodbye.
I will serve as editor of the Sentinel until October 17, and then I’ll be on my way back east. It’s only been seven months, and I hate to hand the paper over to another, but that’s just the way it is. Many factors weighed into this decision, I won’t divulge. Rather, I’d like to express two statements, the first... Local press is vital, it helps highlight and even cast in stone what defines our lovely, human communities. It is 2017 and newspapers are thinning (the product and the staff) but journalism is not. I do not pretend to know the fate of the print publication; however, I do know that no matter the medium, regional journalism allows small towns, villages, and counties to transcend time. We are not perfect. No, not everything is recorded, but the Sentinel, the Sentinel Leader, Advocate, Daily Press, and so on are what help give taste to Editor reflection— mold pride for a group Sean Devlin of people, who for our small specs of time, share an area, its natural beauty and experiences with others. It takes a lot from a few. But we all feel that, eh? No matter the occupation. Jobs are absorbed, hours race by and day gives way to night faster than water down Niagra. I discovered that in my own job and that of so many others. The job of an editor/reporter is to get the story; the way we do that is by disrupting your job for a few moments. But, it’s worth it. This county has a heartbeat. From all of those in the government center, the police departments, health centers, libraries, taverns, every indivdual serving on a board, and more: beat, beat, beat. It’s a county, like so many others, that has its problems and its triumphs. Keep it alive. I hope the press can keep up with you. My other comments is, Thank you. I won’t list any individuals as I am afraid I may leave some out... and the column would need to begin and end with names. So many welcoming, encouraging, and generous people populate this area, and I had the pleasure of meeting quite a few. So, there it is. Next week will be the last paper I will be part of and then it’s off to the east coast. I know I’ll be pillaging the newsstands there, inspecting local papers to discover whether or not their hearts beat like yours (ours) do up here in the lovely (sometimes epically chaotic) Northwoods. Keep reading. Keep laughing. And, keep your communities thriving. This is one of my favorite quotes from a man by the name of Edward R. Murrow, the late, prestigious reporter: “Just once in a while let us exalt the importance of ideas and information.” I can say this, I’ll be back again next week. Chat soon. editor@burnettcountysentinel.com 715-463-2341.

His McGraw spoke lecture is part of an ongoing series on media law and ethics funded by the Silha Center. McGraw gained notoriety a year ago when he responded to lawyers from the Trump campaign after they demanded the Times remove an article “Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately” from their website, issue a full and immediate retraction and apology. His response, posted by the Times on their website, went viral. McGraw’s response to the lawyers from the Trump campaign was posted online by the Times. McGraw asserted that the essence of a libel claim is the protection of one’s reputation and that the article did not damage Mr. Trump’s reputation, because he had already done that himself. McGraw cited several incidents that supported his claim. McGraw’s letter said “We did what the law allows: We published newsworthy information about a subject

of deep public concern. If Mr. Trump disagrees, if he believes that American citizens had no right to hear what these women had to say and that the law of this country forces us and those who would dare to criticize him to stand silent or be punished, we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight.” McGraw discussed the historical media landscape and the current state of the media, where anyone can become a publisher online. He argued, convincingly in my opinion, that even the most vile expressions of speech need to be protected. He asserted that everyone, including hate groups, have the right to express their thoughts, and those who would defend free speech need to defend all speech. If the government would choose to get involved, the path to regulated speech would be swift and irreversible. McGraw touched on the European Union’s ruling to a person’s “right to be forgotten,” where persons could petition Google to remove news items about them from search results. The most common item that people want to be “forgotten” online? Wedding announcements. Yes, instead of being honest, people choose to risk free speech rights so they don’t have to have an uncomfortable discussion about their past. The current libel laws have served our nation well and even President-elect Trump backpedaled on rolling the law back when it was pointed out that people would then be able to sue him for his statements. We must continue to assert our rights and protections under the law. Any attempt to curb speech is an attack on all of us. As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

U.S. Supreme Court hears case on Wisconsin gerrymandering
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Thank you, Village Board To the Editor: An open letter to the Village Board of Trustees from the Grantsburg Library Board: As we look back at the last few years, we reflect on how far the library has come and are reminded how essential our work is to the people of our small community. From the toddler enchanted at story time to the older adult navigating new technology, from teens finding a safe place to hang out to working adults accessing jobs and training services online, we impact the lives of young and old throughout our community. 2017 is shaping up to be an outstanding year for Grantsburg Public Library. We predict 40,000 people will walk through our doors by year end; that translates to nearly 130 people per day. Many of those visitors are children. The number of books checked out to local children continues to astound us; our library maintains a 43 percent increase over three years in children and young adult circulation. Circulation figures do not tell the whole story. Programs and onsite community space constitute a huge part of what we provide. Book clubs, home school families and 4H groups meet at the library, as do county agencies and our schools serving expelled students as well as early release programs, after school literacy tutoring and local history research. As Village Trustees, you know all this success hasn’t come free. In 2017, the Village of Grantsburg entrusted us with the largest budget allocation to date. This commitment of tax dollars is the single biggest reason why the Grantsburg Library has become the growing, thriving institution it is today. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you. We hope we can count on your steadfast support for the coming year.

While the U.S. Supreme Court weighs a potentially precedent-setting challenge to gerrymandered legislative districts, taxpayers are helping to fund those who want to keep district lines as drawn. The lawyers hired by GOP legislative leaders for the redistricting case before the U.S. Supreme Court Oct. 3 have billed taxpayers more than $256,000 for their services so far, according to records reviewed by WisPolitics.com. The total only includes activity through the end of July, the last month submitted to the Legislature for payment. The bulk of the total is the $175,000 billed by Kirkland & Ellis, home to former solicitor general Paul Clement, who is the lead attorney in the case. That is the maximum fee allowed under the agreement GOP legislative leaders signed with the firm. The other $81,373 has been billed by the Bell Giftos St. John firm, which does not have a hard cap on its legal fees. But the firm can charge a maximum of $300 per hour for the attorneys who work on the suit and $100 per hour for any needed paralegal work. The bulk of the $16,130 billed to taxpayers in July covered communications with legislative staffers and other counsel working on the case, along with prepping materials and working on the amicus brief that was filed. In the Oct. 3 hearing, members of the U.S. Supreme Court took on questions ranging from which voters should have legal standing to whether the
justices themselves should get involved at all. Chief Justice John Roberts appeared to come down strongly on the side for the nation’s highest court to take a pass. “If the claim is allowed to proceed, there will naturally be a lot of these claims raised around the country,” Roberts said, describing politics as a “very important driving force” and questioning why a racial gerrymandering challenge should have more limits than one based on partisanship. “And every one of them will come down here for a decision on the merits. These cases are not within our discretionary jurisdiction.” He warned the court will be placed in a position of declaring winners in partisan races. “So, it’s going to be a problem here across the board,” Roberts said. “And that is going to cause very serious harm to the status and integrity of the decisions of this court in the eyes of the country.” Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch hit similar themes. Alito even questioned whether the Wisconsin case represents the right time for the type of judicial intervention sought by opponents of Wisconsin’s GOP-drawn map of state legislative districts. Critics see the district lines as so extremely partisan that it gave the majority party an unfair advantage at the polls. “Gerrymandering is distasteful,” he conceded. “But if we are going to impose a standard on the courts, it has to be something that is manageable.” Alito also raised the issue of

A dozen years ago, the preface to a report on federal election reform began with these words: “Polls indicate that many Americans lack confidence in the electoral system, but the political parties are so divided that serious electoral reform is unlikely without a strong bipartisan voice.”
I can find no part of that sentence that’s not still true. Americans still lack confidence in the electoral system. The political parties are still divided. Serious electoral reform remains unlikely. Perhaps the only change is that the commission issuing the report was co-chaired by a Democrat and a Republican — former President Jimmy

“They created three or four more maps. They weren’t partisan enough,” Sotomayor said. Finally, she said, the most partisan map was achieved. “And it worked,” Sotomayor said. “It worked better than they even expected.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg commented on what she thought was at stake in the effort in Wisconsin case. “The precious right to vote,” Ginsburg said. She asked, if a legislature can be stacked a certain way, what is the incentive for a voter to exercise his right at the polls? Justice Anthony Kennedy, often in recent years considered the crucial swing vote on the court, once again could play that role. That’s because Justice Clarence Thomas is expected to stick with the other conservative members of the court, and Justice Stephen Breyer is expected to side with the other more liberal justices. Kennedy, who was the first justice to jump in with a question, appeared to offer comments and questions that possibly could give comfort to both sides. A key example of that could be on the issue of who should have legal standing when it came to a statewide challenge on a claim of partisan gerrymandering “I think it is true that there is no case that directly helps respondents very strongly on this issue,” he said. But he also asked whether that could be viewed differently if the case turned on the First Amendment rather than an equal protection argument.

standing. In one example, he asked whether a voter in Milwaukee should be able to raise a legal challenge in a district located in another part of the state. Gorsuch questioned the criteria a state would need to avoid having every district and every election challenged in court. At one point, he compared the challenge to preparing a steak rub. “And so what’s this court supposed to do, a pinch of this, a pinch of that?” asked Gorsuch, who also wondered how many election cycles and how much data would be needed to decide to move forward with a standard for the courts. He suggested the lower court had not used a “real set of criteria,” and instead leaned on a standard of a “partisan symmetry problem.” Several other members of the court appeared to come down on the other side. “The world of technology has changed a great deal,” Justice Elena Kagan said. “When legislatures think about drawing these maps, they’re not only thinking about the next election, not always, but often about the election after that and the election after that and the election after that.” Kagan described the level of sophistication used in such efforts to ensure certain partisan results. “What I’m suggesting is that this is not a kind of hypothetical airy fairy, we guess and then we guess again,” she said. “I mean this is pretty scientific by this point.” Justice Sonia Sotomayor picked up a similar theme in her questions and comments.

ATV travel welcome in Siren SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
SIREN— Happy 69th birthday, Siren! On Oct. 5, 1940, the Village of Siren became recognized as an incorporated village. Before that date, Siren was known as the biggest unincorporated village in the state. Many locals and vacationers will be happy to know the board approved a motion to allow ATV travel on all Siren village roads. While many have dreamed of this for quite some time, the last push came when the school administration approached Chief Sybers about opening up particular roads to accommodate students who travel by ATV. Pointing out the influx of ATVs spotted in the Village and parked in front of the numerous hotels since the opening of County Road B last August, Sybers said to the village board last week, “let’s open everything.” Board member Rick Engstrom said, “There is tourism money to be had. That’s what we live on up here.” Sybers added, “I don’t see any drawback to it.” While the ordinance pertaining to Village roads was amended, Sybers made sure to mention that no ATV travel is allowed on state highways, “That’s just the way it is. We can’t change that.” As of Oct. 11, ATVs will be permitted to travel on all village roads at a maximum speed of 10 miles per hour.
Another project in the works is the bike/pedestrian trail. In July, the board discussed the construction of the trail along the east side of State Highway 35. By doing this, the board hopes to provide better pedestrian and bike access to Village businesses and amenities. Last Thursday, the board made a motion to hand the authority of the project over to the Streets and Utilities committee. On Tues., Oct. 10, the committee decided to go with MSA-Professional Services as the choice for the Engineering firm to work on the Pedestrian Trail. The project is projected to cost approximately $500,000. The board also amended a 2013 village ordinance that did away with direct sellers permits. Direct sellers (i.e. food trucks, etc.) are now required to pay a $10 fee (per day) when setting up anywhere in the Village. Siren Chamber of Commerce fees are separate. All information gathered from the October Siren Village Board Meeting.

area with a concentrated marsh habitat where they roost, nest and feed. A lot of people come every year for it; for some families it’s a tradition for them to come here. It’s a cool show to watch.” These magnificent birds had all but disappeared from Wisconsin in the early 20th century. When the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act was passed in 1918, the crane population slowly recovered. Today, anywhere between 13,000 to 20,000 cranes pass through Crex Meadows, where they gather before migrating to Florida for the winter. Crex Meadows is 30,000 acres of wildlife habitat, which was restored over the decades from farmland to wetlands that provide a rich habitat for many species of waterfowl, swans, geese, ducks, and other types of animals such as turtles, black bears and even gray wolves. At one point the land belonged to the Crex Carpet Company, which harvested sedges from the area to use in manufacturing rugs and chairs. When the company went bankrupt, the state began buying up the land, and restoration began. “Prior to settlement, the land would have looked similar (to the way it does now), because settlers altered it,” Finch said. “The flowages are man-made, altered with the construction of dikes, which function like a dam.” The wetland can be managed to prevent flooding in the area, but can
also create watery habitats favored by various shorebirds and waterfowl. “The goal was to restore the land to its original glory,” Finch said. “Before settlement it was a lot of wetland and marsh, some prairie, and we have both of those things.”
Both hunting lands and preserve Though most guests come to observe wildlife, the preserve is public land open to seasonal hunting. “One interesting thing about this state wildlife area is that it’s largely funded by money that comes in from purchasing hunting licenses and trapping licenses,” Finch said. “It’s also part of the money that comes from the purchase of firearms and ammunition.” In the spring, people come to see a wide variety of migrating birds, but in the fall it’s about quantity. “In fall it’s the spectacular flight of large flocks getting ready to migrate,” Finch said. Crane watching also appeals to wildlife enthusiasts who are not early risers, Finch said. The cranes tend to leave the roost between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., much later than some of the morning songbirds that arise at the crack of dawn. This ensures there is plenty of light for good photos while the cranes leave the roost, and when they return beginning around 5 p.m. to sunset. Finch herself is a Grantsburg native, and grew up visiting the preserve with her family and school classes. When

years in prison. While the sentence may be bifurcated, there is a mandatory prison sentence of at least three years set by the Department of Corrections. The Judge continued to explain that he does not agree with the Department of Corrections mandatory three years sentence. “I believe that there is always an opportunity for somebody to go to
counseling and rehabilitate,” he said. He continued to say that maybe he is not correct in this situation because according to the pre-sentence investigation, Nickence is reported to having told the court he will continue to consume alcohol. The PSI also shed light on a history of alcohol abuse in Nickence’s family. His OWIs range from 1990-2017. Nickence will serve his sentence at Dodge Correctional in Waupun.

she studied biology in Superior, it was actually her instructor who suggested she apply for an open position at Crex. “I’ve always been enjoying what the property has to offer since I was very young, so it’s fun to end up working here,” she said. Due to the large size of Crex Meadows, Finch said that most people experience it best by car, rolling slowly along the waterways and occasionally pulling over to look more closely. “People can hike as well, get out of vehicle to walk around, but seeing most of the property is possible really only by vehicle,” she said. Visitors can get a self-guided tour map, as well as information about recent bird and animal sightings and a historical display inside the Visitor Center at the entrance to the preserve.

Communication tower troubles resurface Ben Treichel receives he said. Due to the terrain of several areas of the county, like the rolling hills of the east, coverage is compromised.
SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
BURNETT COUNTY— Months passed as a six-foot gap in the electrical line stayed $200,000 worth of communications equipment from operating. Eventually, county, tribal, business and government forces worked closely to complete the project-— a project in the works since 2008. In mid-July, Polk Burnett Electric Cooperative connected the electric power from the communication building and its groundbased radio equipment to the devices atop the Hertel water tower. With a swipe of the forehead, the communication tower project was complete and the Burnett County emergency services were ready to utilize the wide range of coverage. Unfortunately, three weeks ago, a Burnett County official responded to a call near Birch Island Lake (Jackson/Scott). When dispatch attempted to reach the deputy, they were unable. The deputy was almost directly in the middle between the Webb Lake and Jackson towers. The deputy was eventually located via cell phone and determined to be safe. Sheriff Wilhelm promptly checked his department’s radios and encouraged other services to do the same. “The coverage should be very good out there. There is only six miles separation between the towers,� said Wilhelm. Dismayed by this lack of communication ability, the Sheriff’s Department has since discovered multiple issues. One of the main individual issues is that when the Webb Lake tower was outfitted for use, it was set up as receive only. To put in simply, dispatch could radio the deputy and the tower would receive the signal, but it would not transmit the message to the deputy. This and more have led the county to re-assess the communication tower project.
The 2008 goal The original goal of this project was to allow Burnett County services - Sheriff’s Department, ambulance, fire, and village police - full radio coverage of the county. Now, according to Wilhelm, full coverage actually means 90-95 percent. “You are never going to get 100 percent, that is impossible,�
The problem This project began in 2008 and was “completed� in 2017. Because this project began many years ago, leadership changed as the years bore on. “The long and the short of it is, the county has never had one project manager per say. This project has gone in a variety of different directions because of the changing of hands,� said Wilhelm. Wilhelm compared the problem to that of a disgruntled home remodeling contractor. The contractor gets the plans, makes a bid, begins the work, and then the owners change the plans time and time again. Another main factor is the lack of communication. New leaders were unaware of what the previous leader planned to do. “It went on too long. Everything changed,� he said.
What happens now? Wilhelm appointed Deputy Steve Sacharski to lead the fact-finding mission in order to communicate errors he finds with the towers to the County, Sheriff’s Department, and committees such as the Public Safety Committee. “Basically, I’m going from building to building to find out problems,� Sacharski said. In addition to Sacharski’s efforts, DSC Communications out of Superior was hired to provide an overall assessment and offer coverage studies: Where is the project at now? What needs to be done? “The coverage study will help us to know if there is an equipment or design problem,� said Sacharski. DRC were chosen because there were not previously involved with the project. They can come in with a fresh eye, explained Wilhelm. No definite timeline is set for this project; however, all agencies are hoping coverage assessments will surface sooner rather than later. “We have to find out exactly where we are, then we can find out how to move forward,� said Wilhelm.

expectation of privacy, such as a home, police would have to first seek permission from any victims, witnesses and property owners before the video could be released to the public. If they don’t receive approval, police could still release the footage if they determine it’s in the public interest to do so. The bill also would allow police to destroy footage after 120 days unless it’s related to an injury, death, arrest or search. That footage could be destroyed only upon final disposition of the case or when a judge decides the video isn’t needed any longer, although prosecutors, police, defendants and judges could order any footage preserved beyond the 120-day mark.
FIEDLER FORD, INC.
MADISON — Police from across Wisconsin supported a bill Thursday that would set state policy for when body camera video can be made public and would allow for much of the footage to be withheld. Bill sponsor Rep. Jesse Kremer, R-Kewaskum, said at an Assembly committee hearing that the goal was to protect the privacy of people captured on police body camera footage and to set statewide guidelines for law enforcement agencies. But advocates for open records argued that the measure went too far and would make it difficult, if not impossible, for footage that’s in the public interest to be released. The bill would not require police departments to use body cameras. The primary reason police
officers are given body cameras is to increase accountability and public confidence in their actions, and the bill is contrary to those goals, said Bill Lueders, president of the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council. Thirty other states have laws related to police body cameras. Of those, 18 address how data captured on the cameras are addressed under open records laws, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Under the Wisconsin proposal, all footage taken from a police body camera would be exempt from the open records law except for video involving injuries, deaths, arrests and searches. But, if footage was taken in a place where someone has a reasonable

representative democracy. You can’t get more important than that. So why do we remain in an endless national standoff on how to fix our elections? The answer, of course, is that in politically divided times, changes to elections are seen through partisan eyes. This is disappointing, because right now there should be plenty of room for agreement. We face genuine challenges to our electoral system that even the most partisan of Democrats and Republicans could come together on: aging machines, long lines at the polls, cyber attacks by hostile entities, foreign interference, inadequately trained voting officials, voter lists that are not up to date. . . It’s a long list. But where the two sides fall apart is on
the most basic of questions: how readily do we give access to the voting booth? I’ll lay my cards on the table. I believe in wider access. Creating a Congress and an overall government that are more representative of the American people rests on expanding the electorate and beating back the barriers to voting. The more people who vote, the better the chance to strengthen the political center formed by moderates and pragmatists. The lower voter turnout becomes, the more sway held by the most ideologically intense voters, who reward the most polarizing candidates, and the more likely deep resentments are created among those citizens denied the right to vote. This is not to dismiss concerns about voter fraud. We do need to make sure that the person arriving to vote at a poll-
ing site is the same one who’s named on the voter list. And we’re headed in that direction. The number of states requiring a voter ID has increased dramatically over the last couple of decades – today about 50 percent of American voters live in states that require a voter to produce an ID before casting his or her ballot. Yet the ambivalence many of us feel about this is understandable. We want to ensure there’s no fraud, but at the same time we are aware that stringent ID requirements disenfranchise a lot of people who may have trouble acquiring an ID: they don’t have a driver’s license, passport, or birth certificate. So the requirements can be an effective way to block minority groups or others from voting. And there’s this political reality: many of those who call the loudest for restrictive ID laws are targeting groups
that they think will vote against them. Though we want to ensure that only those people eligible to vote are actually voting, we also want to ensure that all those who are eligible to vote find it convenient to do so. There’s a lot of work to be done on that front, at every level of government. The entire system needs top-to-bottom review and strengthening. And so far, I see no evidence that we as a nation are taking this need seriously.

NATURAL CONNECTIONS
Another season has flown BY EMILY STONE, NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
“Another season has flown,” wrote Lois Nestel, the Museum’s founding naturalist and director, more than three decades ago. “We watched its passage in the flight of warblers appearing from nowhere to feed and move like phantoms, ever southward. We saw it in the gathering of flocks of restless robins, in drifting parachutes of milkweed seeds and swirls of falling
leaves. We heard it in the strident notes of crickets and in the droning of great slow bumblebees on the last frostbitten flowers. But most of all we saw it in the wedges of geese winging across the autumn sky. Summer rides their wings and with them it will vanish to return only when they come again to herald another year.” This fall I watched those same flocks of birds, drifting seeds, and swirling leaves. I took a net to the cold-hobbled bumblebees and gathered specimens for use in our next exhibit. And, on one deep-blue

evening, as a glorious pink sunset shot through the clouds, a pair of geese swung down out of the tentative stars. Their wild honking sent a chill down my neck, and I let the kayak paddle rest while they dipped lower and lower toward my bow. Powerful wings sent ripples scooting across the lake’s glassy surface, and then lifted the geese back up just long enough to reach the far, dark shore of the lake, where they vanished. Lois continued, “It is difficult to explain the feeling of nostalgia, of longing, yearning, created by the sight and sound of flying geese. What sound turns eyes skyward more surely than the calling of wild geese? The eyes follow their passage and as the voices fade and forms become receding, wavering motes, we turn again to everyday affairs with an inward sigh of vague, unexplainable regret. “Summer has gone, and we deplore its passing. But the transient, delicate beauty of flower and leaf is not lost forever; it is simply laid aside temporarily to be superseded by other beauties, different but equal. Falling leaves disclose the graceful structure of trunk and limb as lacy networks against the sky. Leaf-darkened woodlands are once again open and airy, and one can see deep within places that a short time ago were walls of green. “Birds’ nests, once well hidden, now hang openly on naked branches, revealing by their architecture the nature of the builder. The nests of hornets and the cocoons of the great moths are also exposed to seeing eyes. “With summer’s ending, nature has not closed her book but has merely turned the page, and the stories written on the fallen leaf and snow are as thrilling and delightful as those written on summer’s green page.” Humans set about their own complementary autumnal routines. I don’t have a fireplace or woodstove, so I content myself with smelling other people’s morning fires on my way to work. Then at home in the evening, I bundle up in a down vest and put a flannel bag full of rice, heated in the microwave, by my feet. Lois had a much nicer way to keep her toes warm. She wrote, “The now familiar energy crisis has many connotations; most of them unpleasant, but for me there is one very positive aspect, based as much on sentimentality as on practicality. This is the swing back to wood as fuel and the accompanying sight and scent of woodsmoke.
“Especially on chill evenings there is something very comforting in the sight of smoke rising from neighboring chimneys and the fragrance of different kinds of wood mingling on the frosty air. This is nostalgia time, for one of the treasured memories of childhood is walking home from school in the winter twilight and seeing across the snow-covered fields the lamplight glowing softly from kitchen windows and smoke rising from chimneys—the first warm breath of home fires with their promise of warmth and security. “It also meant, of course, wood boxes to fill before dark: one for the kitchen stove, another for the living room heater. For in those days, wood was not a supplementary fuel, but the only fuel. Now, again, woodpiles grow in back yards and the crack of the splitting axe rings through the air. “Blue-white smoke rising from chimneys not only speaks of warmth and comfort within, but tells wind direction and strength and, to some degree, the atmospheric conditions. In years past this was my only barometer. “For many, wood is not just a supplement to ease the burdensome expense of gas or oil. A few have gone all the way and reverted entirely to wood as fuel. Cooks are learning once again the satisfaction of soups and stews and bean pots simmered long and slow on a wood range and the comfortable sound of a teakettle singing on the back of a stove. “There is a saying that wood warms you twice, once when you cut it and once when you burn it. I think a third warmth could be added—the deep heart-warmth that glows like embers within and rises like smoke on a still day to gladden all surrounding souls.” Happily, those who are lucky enough to have fireplaces kindly share the sight and smell of their woodsmoke with the rest of us.

Resources, support available to domestic violence victims MADISON—October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Attorney General Brad Schimel is reminding the public about resources and support available to victims of domestic violence and those in fear of abuse through the state’s address confidentiality program, training for law enforcement, and grant funding for victim services in all 72 Wisconsin counties. “I have worked in the criminal justice system for 28 years, and I have seen how abuse and the fear of abuse can take a physical, emotional, and psychological toll on families,” said Attorney General Schimel. “At DOJ, we are committed to serving survivors of domestic violence by providing real resources so all Wisconsinites can feel safe and secure.”
New ‘Safe At Home’ program Safe at Home, launched in April 2017, provides victims of domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, stalking, trafficking, and those who fear for their physical safety with a legal substitute address and free mail forwarding service. Enrollment in Safe at Home allows victims of abuse and those who fear for their physical safety to
maintain a confidential home, work, or school address and use a secure, legal address provided by DOJ. In six months, Safe at Home has expanded to serve 203 active participants, including 108 children, in 95 Wisconsin households. Also, there are now 320 application assistants across the state who assist participants with safety planning and applying for the program, up from 60 application assistants designated when the program launched just six months ago. Wisconsin became the 36th state to adopt an address confidentiality program. The program was created after bipartisan legislation, led by authors Senators Scott Fitzgerald and Jennifer Shilling, and Representatives Joel Kleefisch and Chris Taylor, was enacted in 2016 as Wisconsin Act 356.Safe at Home operates through funding provided under the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA).
To enroll in Safe At Home To learn more about Safe At Home, visit www.SafeAtHomeWI.gov. To enroll in Safe at Home, call 1-800-446-6564. DOJ provides nearly $2.5 million in grant funding, through the Violence Against Women
Act (VAWA) STOP grant, to support prosecutors, advocates, victim/witness services, and law enforcement who are providing services to domestic and sexual violence victims in Wisconsin. Through this grant funding, DOJ supports five regional Violence Against Women resource prosecutors in Brown, Dane, Eau Claire, Milwaukee, and Waukesha counties. These prosecutors provide training and technical assistance to prosecutors around the state who handle domestic violence and sexual assault cases. Also supported through grant funding, DOJ trains law enforcement on the best practices for responding to and investigating domestic violence. These trainings emphasize officer safety, trauma-informed interview techniques, domestic violence dynamics, developing a coordinated community response, witness intimidation, and lethality assessments. Survivors of domestic violence often provide testimony at these trainings, offering an important perspective as law enforcement learns how to respond to domestic violence incidents. DOJ financially supports special trainings by subject matter experts on the following topics:
working with survivors with disabilities, survivors in underserved communities, and responding to stalking and strangulation cases.
Victim advocate training DOJ also routinely provides information and trainings to advocates and victim/witness services on victim’s rights, crime victim compensation, and the sexual assault forensic exam (SAFE) fund. Additionally, DOJ has created an online version of these training materials for overnight and weekend domestic violence shelter staff. This year, DOJ presented regional trainings for advocates and victim/witness services to enhance their collaboration on domestic violence cases and their understanding on the use of restraining orders and no contact orders. DOJ works closely with End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin, the state domestic violence coalition, who shares the common goal of supporting survivors of domestic violence. Through DOJ, VAWA funding supports End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin’s Lethality Assessment Project, which identifies victims of domestic violence who are at high risk for experienc-
Grim report on WI domestic violence homicide
MADISON—According to the newly released Wisconsin Domestic Violence Homicide Report, 73 people in Wisconsin lost their lives to domestic violence in 2016. Patti Seger, executive director of End Domestic Abuse WI, announced the release of the report at the State Capitol along with Rep. Melissa Sargent (D-Madison), Executive Director Veronica Figueroa-Velez of Unidos Against Domestic Violence and Executive Director Shannon Barry of Domestic Abuse Intervention Services. Of the individuals who died because of domestic violence last year, 57 were victims of domestic violence homicides, 14 were perpetrators of homicides or attempted homicides who then died by suicide and two individuals were perpetrators of domestic violence who were killed by responding law enforcement. End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin has produced the annual report since 2000. This year’s homicide count is above the annual average for that 17-year period. “Each year since we began releasing this report, it has represented for us a time of remembrance and reflection on the lives that were lost and the ways that we can evaluate our communities response to domestic violence,” said Seger. “The advocates we work with witness firsthand the devastation that domestic violence inflicts on our communities every year. “This report highlights findings that point to clear warning signs for domestic violence killings that inform our daily interactions with victims as we work to empower survivors and prevent future domestic violence deaths. “We look forward to utilizing the information in this report to aid in our continued efforts to protect survivors and educate the public about domestic and sexual violence in our communities,” continued Seger. “Domestic violence is not just an inter-personal issue, but a societal issue, and we hope that this report will be a tool for our community leaders as we all work together to stop the violence that affects our friends, families and neighbors every year.” The report contains a discussion of domestic violence lethality risk factors. Knowledge of such risk factors can help service providers identify victims who are at the greatest risk of being killed and provide them with enhanced outreach and services.

ing lethal violence and works to provide support and services to those victims; as well as the coalition’s Community Response Program Director. DOJ also provides VAWA funding to the Director of State Courts Office to provide domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking training to judges.
Future training plans
In the future, DOJ will continue to expand its efforts to support victims and stop domestic violence in Wisconsin. For advocates, DOJ will be hosting a regional training series that focuses on better understanding and some best practices for working with corrections staff. DOJ is also working with the American Indians Against Abuse to support tribal domestic violence programs and is developing a tribal law enforcement training program. DOJ has also established, with collaboration from law enforcement, prosecution, advocates, and victim/witness services, a plan through 2020 that is dedicated to supporting trauma-informed training and technical assistance and encourages innovative approaches to responding to domestic and sexual violence.
AD COPY IS DUE MONDAY AT NOON
Bleak statistics Perpetrators of domestic violence homicide incidents were overwhelmingly male. In 2016, 42 of 51 (82 percent) of perpetrators were men. This figure excludes the two homicides that occurred during legal intervention. In 2016, more than one third of the victims of intimate partner-related homicide were killed after the relationship ended or when one person in the relationship was taking steps to leave the relationship. This figure demonstrates that leaving does not equal safety. It also supports the main message of this report: no victim in Wisconsin should have to take the courageous step of leaving an abusive relationship without the benefit of a coordinated community response that is designed to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable. Victims reflected the span of life, from less than one year old to 72. The average age of victims was 36. Perpetrators ranged in age from 18 to 76. The average age for perpetrators was 38.

Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve Every water heater has a safety device called a Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (T & P Valve). The purpose of the T & P Valve is to relieve unsafe pressure that can build up inside the water heater during a malfunction of the controls. The T & P Valve is located either on top or near the top of all heaters. The T & P Valve will have a little aluminum trip lever on it. If the water has been properly installed, there will be an overflow pipe leading from the T & P Valve down the side wof the heater and terminating open-ended near the floor. This pipe directs emergency overflow water (VERY hot) safely to the floor. Sometimes the springs and seals inside a T & P valve will get corroded and begin to drip a little during normal operating conditions. When this occurs, sometimes people are tempted to put a plug in the T & P Valve or put a cap on the overflow pipe. DON’T do this. Plugging the flow of a T & P Valve allows dangerous pressure to build up inside the heater. This pressure will have nowhere to go. It could actually cause the water heater to explode with the force of a bomb, destroying the home and killing occupants. The only safe way to deal with a drippy T & P Valve is to replace it.

Sil Lai’s story Domestic Violence Awareness Month Twenty years ago I was a young single mother and didn’t realize I was embarking upon a new relationship that would nearly destroy my spirit. I knew going into the relationship that my then boyfriend was controlling and prone to what I thought were temper tantrums. Like a lot of abused women, I thought that if I loved him enough that I could help him heal. He belittled me, called me names and cursed at me. It makes me cringe at the cruelty to this day. He constantly accused me of cheating on him, made me feel ashamed of who I was and he eventually began using physical violence as a means to try and break my spirit. Our relationship was a crazy, unpredictable four-plus years of soul-crushing abuse. I finally got out of the relationship after one too many trips to the emergency room – trips that finally broke through my denial about the true nature of the man I “loved,” our relationship and especially, myself. Today I am grateful to be alive, to have two beautiful children who were raised in a home without emotional, physical and mental violence, and to have the opportunity to serve other women who are or have been abused. However, there is one thing that still gets me from time to time; it took me over four years to break free from my abuser. I remember being so desperate, confused and in need of support. If I had had access to an organization such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline (NDVH) back when I was being abused, I believe I would’ve gotten out earlier. The knowledgeable, empathetic support and vital resources they provide 365 days a year are critical to helping a victim of abuse break free of the violence because victims may only reach out for help once. The NDVH is essential to the health of our families. The phone service is available to anyone who has been affected by relationship abuse, including those who are currently in abusive relationships, those who are working to heal, friends or family of victims and survivors and anyone in the community who has questions about domestic violence. The NDVH number is 1-800-799-7233. Sil Lai’s story can be found at: http://www.thehotline.org/about-us/share-your-story. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
I’m going to introduce you to a handsome six-year-old yellow lab named Gus! This guy is extremely intelligent and quick to learn commands. He is also well behaved on his walks. Gus lloves to play ball. He’ll run and ffetch it, bring it back, drop it a and wait for you to throw it a again and again! Gus is energetic, curious and a always on the go, so a home that c can provide him lots of exercise w would be perfect. Gus is fussy about doggy ffriends. He seems to prefer the g girls, but cats are a no-go. We Gus w would suggest a home that can provide Gus with structure and one that can keep him on task. He loves treats, praise and affection as a reward. In summary, Gus is a fabulous boy who deserves a home and owners that can provide him with guidelines, exercise and lots of love. In return, he will be the most devoted companion. Next up is Tim, a one-year-old bulldog mix weighing just 38 pounds. Tim and his sidekicks, Gus and Tasha, were found at the wayside just outside of Grantsburg on the St. Croix River. All three are great dogs with Tasha already spoken for. I went in the play yard to get to know Tim. I wanted some pictures of him, which was no easy task since Tim sticks to you like glue. This little dude is pure cuteness and happiness. He just wants to be near you. Tim is hilarious in his antics and loves people and attention. Tim I fell in love with him and think he’ll likely find his forever home very soon.
2017 Burnett County Youth Deer Hunt This year’s Wisconsin youth deer hunt weekend was October 7-8, and several young hunters took to the woods to try to take down a big one. Youth hunting events give hunters ages 10 to 15 an opportunity to hunt and gain valuable experience without competing against adult hunters. Special seasons for a variety of species allow only youngsters to hunt during these days under the supervision of their mentor.

Board approves street, sewer, airport matters BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—Normal village maintenance dominated discussion Monday evening at the Grantsburg Village Board meeting, plus possible new park and business development projects. The board approved applying for a grant and/or loan forgiveness from the DNR’s Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Fund to undertake a Wisconsin Avenue street, water and sewer project for 2018. From Oak Street eastward to Brad Street, the undersized, four-inch water main will be excavated and replaced, along with any lead pipes in the area. The project will be a total street and sewer reconstruction, replacing the water main and water/sewer lines to all homes and apartments along that two-block stretch. The Wisconsin Avenue project will also include new curb, gutter, storm sewer and new street surface, plus sidewalk replacement on the block from Pine to Oak, at an estimated total cost of $340,000. The excavation project will disrupt traffic flow to and from downtown Grantsburg while Pine Street, the main northsouth thoroughfare, is dug up. Traffic most likely will be detoured on Oak Street. Public Works Director Chris Bartlett told the board that this year’s chip sealing project on St. George Avenue from Russell Street to Olson Drive is now complete. Chip sealing was also performed on Wood, Faith and Church Streets. Bartlett said employing Burnett County Highway Department saved the village money. The project was completed for $11,278, or $3,822 under the estimated cost of $15,100.
Airport runway improvement The board agreed to move
toward accepting $100,000 in 2015 Airport Entitlement Funds and will make the final decision at the board’s Nov. 13 meeting, when it will adopt the 2018 budget after a 7 p.m. public hearing. The board and the Grantsburg Municipal Airport’s pilot group are in agreement to undertake a crack sealing and micro-surfacing project on the blacktopped runway. This is a downsized project from the previously considered full runway reconstruction project which would have carried a price tag of $1.2 million or more. The runway resurfacing is expected to extend the runway life about eight years without obligating the village to run the airport for the next 20 years, as the reconstruction project would do. During that time, the village board could assess the pilot group’s efforts to attract more pilots and increase the facility’s use. The board voted to loan the 2014 entitlement dollars totaling $150,000 to another airport because it has no immediate plans for those funds. The state Civil Aeronautics Board will find other airports that needs funds now to accept the Grantsburg money, and then request loan repayment when Grantsburg needs the funds for future airport projects.
Street sweeping planned Bartlett told the board he plans to have a contract street sweeper sweep all Grantsburg streets on the last week of October or in early November. When the village-owned street sweeper wore out some years ago, the village began contracting for the service.
Other actions • Bartlett said the village tennis courts at the corner of St. George Avenue and Brad Street have been resurfaced, and lines have been added for

playing both tennis and pickleball on the courts. • The board declined to purchase a vacant lot on Oak Street near the laundromat, which is owned by Cilla Bauer and family. “We are not in the real estate business,” the board agreed in earlier conversation, and expressed hope that a potential buyer would purchase that parcel in addition to the vacant Kozak property north of the Post Office for a riverside development project. • Village Board President Larry Ebersold told the board he was eliminating the “Public Comments” time at the beginning of each meeting that he initiated when he became village president. As the person who prepares the meeting agenda, he has the right to make that decision. • The board began using a microphone at its meetings, passing it among board members as they addressed issues, in order to make it easier for

Chamber Board members April Highstrom and Ranae Beers (left) and Rich Tims and Robyn Beek (right) welcome Jed’s Tasha Weller, Dani Eckstrom, and Kendra Jones with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
SIREN—Jed’s Laker Lounge was welcomed as the newest member of the Siren Chamber of Commerce with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 5. Originally the Bil-mar Lounge owned by Bob and Lory Maurer, it wasn’t until 2000, when the business was sold to Gary Marek, that it opened as Jed’s Laker Lounge, named after his son. Situated on more than 300
feet of lakeshore on Upper Clam Lake, Jed’s offers wonderful views for their guests to enjoy. A lakeside patio provides seasonal outdoor seating. And Jed’s is one of the few dining establishments with a dock to welcome their lake guests with available boat parking. Owned by Dean Duncan, his capable management team of Dani Eckstrom, Kendra Jones, and Tasha Weller ensure that all runs smoothly. This team
began managing together five years ago this month. Each has a long history with Jed’s. Eckstrom has worked there for 12 years and Jones for nine years. Weller started in 2004 and returned in 2012. Eckstrom and Jones grew up in Siren and Weller is from Frederic. All three continue to live locally. The management trio is passionate and dedicated to growing the business. “It has increased substantially over

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Investigators treat death of Ashland County man as homicide ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASHLAND (AP) — Authorities in northern Wisconsin are treating the death of a 39-year-old man as a homicide. Ashland County Sheriff Michael Brennan says a 911 caller reported finding the body in the Town of Sanborn on Thursday afternoon. The body was found near a trailer. Brennan says a Bad River Housing Authority worker discovered the body while doing routine security inspection on some property the tribe owns. About the same time as the 911 call, the sheriff’s office put out a missing persons alert for Shane Cadotte of Odanah, who had not been seen since the previous week. His family reported Cadotte was missing and suspected foul play. The sheriff tells WDIOTV the body was positively identified as Cadotte. An autopsy was planned.

Bittersweet game for Tigers
Webster boys second, Grantsburg third at Cross Country Conference Meet
BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—It was a game that tasted bad, but also good for the Webster Tiger volley team last Thursday as they lost to the St. Croix Saints 3-0. The game scores were 2519, 25-21 and 25-16. For the most part, the team was able to keep up with the Saints, especially in game two. They will remember, though, that in game three, Taylor Howe reached 1,000 kills for a high school career. In game one, the match was tied at three when the Saints had a 6-0 run. The Tigers came back with a couple of kills, one by Howe and narrowed the gap to four at 10-6. Five more for the Saints increased the lead to 15-6. Webster, behind server Torrence Wols, cut into the margin, making it 16-13. Later, with Taylor Howe serving, the Tigers cut the gap to two at 21-19, but that was all the Tigers could score in game one.

Webster volleyball fans turned out to show their support for Taylor Howe as she recorded her 1000th career kill during the Tigers’ game against SCF on Thursday.
Game two was tied five times up to the 10-10 mark. Howe, Hannah McDowell, and Skyler Winkler added kills during that time span. Errors then added to the Tiger woes as they fell behind by eight at 20-12. But quit was not in the Webster vocabulary as they fought back to only a 24-21 deficit. A kill by St. Croix ended game two at 25-21. It was early in game
three that Howe got her 1,000 kill which made it 7-6 in favor of the Saints. Webster tied the game at seven on the next play, but then the Saints ran off five points to make it 12-7. Later, St. Croix upped the score to 20-12 and the game went back and forth, Webster not able to get any closer than seven points. Howe had 14 kills on the night with two aces, three
assists, three blocks and six digs. Hannah Janssen led the way with three aces. Hannah McDowell had 10 digs with Summer and Skyler Winkler each getting six apiece. After playing at Unity on Tuesday, the Tigers will host Siren on Thursday. Regional playoffs begin next Tuesday. As of press time, the brackets have yet to be announced by WIAA.

and sets up a North Lakeland Conference showdown with the Unity Eagles on Friday night. The Eagles have an undefeated conference record as well, and Friday’s winner will take the title. “It was a nice Homecoming win for us. Our starting offense and defense played well early and our entire team got quality playing time in front of a great home crowd,” Pirates head coach Adam Hale said. “Scoring in all three phases of the game always is a big lift and I thought we improved on a lot of little things this week.” As usual, the Pirates started fast racking up 36 first quarter points while holding the Lakers scoreless.
John Chenal scored from 47 yards out on the Pirates’ opening offensive series. Jared VanWatermuelen put the ball through the uprights for the point after to go up 7-0. The Lakers were forced to punt on their next possession and John Chenal returned the punt 52 yards for a touchdown. Hauk Mortiz stumbled his way in for the twopoint conversion to put the Pirates up 15-0. Grantsburg recovered the kick-off after it bounced off a Laker foot to go back on offense. On the first play Luke Anderson launches a perfect pass to David MacKean on the sideline who made his way to the 18-yard

Pirates sweep Cardinals, 3-0 “When one of the best players in the conference is removed from the equation, we humbly acknowledge the difference it makes.” Luck’s senior leader, Isabelle Jensen, tore her ACL in a previous match and is done competing for the season. With Jensen’s absence, the Cardinals seemed a bit “off” at times and didn’t have much fire most of the night. The Pirates took advantage and got the win. The first match was a battle with both teams exchanging points back and forth right until the end, with Olivia Ohnstad getting the 26-24 win with an ace serve to the back line of the court. In the second set, Grantsburg dominated from start to finish,

LUCK—The Pirates traveled to Luck last Tuesday seeking to avenge an early season loss to the Cardinals — the Pirates’ only conference loss of the season. The first time these two teams met back in early September, they battled to five sets with Grantsburg coming up just a bit short, falling 2-3. This time, they were determined to get the win and did it in just three sets, 26-24, 25-10 and 25-23 to keep the Pirates in the running for the conference title. “No matter how proud I am of my team for their fierce and determined unity and performance, this match still needs an asterisk,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said.

Dragons slayed by Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates hosted the neighboring Siren Dragons on Thursday night for a conference match-up with the Pirates coming away with a 3-0 win by scores of 25-12, 25-13 and 25-15. Both teams played scrappy defense along with aggressive play at the net, but the Pirates got into a groove despite missing their top hitter, and were just too much for the Dragons to overcome. “At the big match on Tuesday at Luck, Kenna Johnson pulled a muscle, so she sat this match out to heal and rest,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “Kenzie Rombach and Olivia Brock capably filled in on the right side, with Olivia Oachs handling Kenna’s serving role. It is always my goal to be three deep in every position,
and we have a lot of experienced players who are confident stepping onto the court.” Olivia Ohnstad played strong at the net and led the Pirate attack with 10 kills. Randi Siebenthal had eight kills followed by Brooke Quimby with seven. Emma Quimby and Linda Harmon had five kills each. Charli Siebenthal was the assist leader with 15 with Olivia Oachs right there with 11. Libero Jenna McNally had 12 digs for the night. Alaina Oachs tallied eight digs and Randi Siebenthal had seven. Harmon and Charli Siebenthal had four each, and Olvia Oachs and Emma Quimby recorded two apiece. McNally also had four ace serves on the night. “We were able to get all of our roster on the floor and everyone did a good job,” the coach added. “We had a nice balanced attack,
passed pretty well, and our setters were connecting with the hitters.” The Dragons were led by their senior captain, Abby Kosloski, who had four kills on the night. Amy Stanford was right behind her with three, and Cassie Maslow had two. Karlee Sybers and Kyleigh Lightfeather had one kill each. Stanford set the ball well for her teammates with six assists for the match. Defensively, Kosloski had four digs. Jaidyn Jewell was next with two digs with Sybers and Julia Cederberg right behind her with one each. The Dragons will travel to Webster to take on the Tigers on Thursday night, while Grantsburg will host St. Croix Falls on Thursday to wrap up regular season action. Game time is 7:15 p.m. for both contests.

Seniors, family celebrate in Dragon win BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
SIREN—The Siren Dragons defeated Butternut-Mercer 59-22 last Friday night. “It was a rainy night for Family and Senior night, but it was a great game for the Dragons,” exclaimed Siren coach Ryan Karsten. “We played well from the start and scored 27 points in the first quarter and never looked back. Dolan Highstrom touched the ball four times and scored four touchdowns, including a 55-yard punt return. Sophomore Jordan Webster threw five touchdowns to five different players. Lukas Hunter and Mo Richter scored their first high school touchdowns and senior Noah Koball with his first ever offensive touchdown. “I was very happy with the way we played after last week's game (vs. Phillips). I was very happy with the way we sent the seniors off on their last game ever at the Siren field. I hope it is a memory they will never forget.” Webster was seven for 16, good for 172 yards and five touchdowns. Thirteen different players were runners in this game with Dolan Highstrom recording two rushes for 114 yards and two scores. Tyler Anton rushed for 32 yards and Eric Bruss for 30. “We play this week in Cameron,” continued Coach Karsten, “and then we will have to see if we make the WIAA Jamboree again this year in Wausau at the end of the month.” The Dragons will play at 2 p.m. on the Cameron field against a team they defeated earlier this year, Winter.
Tigers triumphant over Pepin-Alma BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER— “On Friday night, the boys had a chance to play in the mud,” said Webster Tiger football coach Andy Smith after his team defeated Pepin-Alma 35-8. “It (the mud) slowed down the passing game for us a little bit but as Trevor (Gustafson) was able to get comfortable with a wet ball, he made some nice throws to help get us into scoring position. Brad Sigfrids had a great catch down the sideline to help flip the field. The offensive line did a great job of getting off the ball and wearing the other team down as the game went on. Tristan Benjamin got his second start of the season at guard and filled in well. Jacob Berg didn't have a bad snap all night long which is pretty amazing considering the conditions. Harlo Olson and Austin Moser got movement all night long for our running backs.” Hunter Gustafson got the Tigers on the board in the first quarter on a seven yard run. The PAT was not successful, but the Tigers were up 6-0. Cody Peterson got his first defensive touchdown of the night when he scooped up a P-A fumble and ran 65 yards for the score.

conversion and the Tigers were up 14-0. Peterson was in on the next touchdown for the Tigers as he caught a 15 yard pass from H. Gustafson. The PAT failed. Webster led
at the half, 20-0. Webster scored the only points of the third quarter on a two-yard Hunter Gustafson run. A Trevor Gustafson-to-Simeon Wilson pass garnered the two
point conversion. Peterson got his second defensive score when he grabbed yet another P-A fumble and ran 20 yards for the score. Dustin Kern got the PAT and Webster led 35-0. The only Pepin-Alma score came in the last quarter on a six yard Ryan Engstrand run. He also scored on the two point conversion. “Defensively,” continued Coach Smith, “we were able to get off the field and give the offense good field position. Cody Peterson had a game to remember catching one touchdown and returning two fumbles for scoop and score touchdowns. Andy Mortiz, Simeon Wilson, Austin Moser, Xavier Stanton, Coleton Peterson and Harlo Olson were relentless on defense smothering the ball carrier all night.” Quarterback Trevor Gustafson was eight for 16, good for 99 yards. Hunter Gustafson led the Tigers in rushing with 53 yards on 19 attempts. On defense, Simeon Wilson had eight solo tackles with three assists and Austin Moser had seven solos with one assist. Webster does not play on Friday due to Washburn-Bayfield-South Shore not fielding an 11 man team. Check back soon for playoff coverage.

John Chenal got the Pirates on the scoreboard again, taking a hand-off right up the middle, going 55 yards to paydirt. VanWatermuelen’s PAT is good to go up 29-0. John Chenal scored once more this game with 2:10 left on the clock in the first quarter. This time it was from two yards out. The PAT was good to give the Pirates a 36-0 lead to end the quarter. On the first play of the second quarter, Leo Chenal busts open a 35-yard run to the endzone for the score. Bryce Roufs takes the snap and tosses it to Leo Chenal in the back of the endzone for the twopoint conversion to put them up 44-0. The Pirates went back on defense, and just three plays later their smothering defense forced a fumble which Leo Chenal scooped up and took 32 yards for the touchdown. The PAT was good, 51-0 with over 10 minutes left in the half.
Grantsburg’s starters left the game, giving the reserves and JV players plenty of varsity action on this Homecoming night. The Pirates struck once more this half when Bryce Roufs pounded his way into the endzone on a five-yard run. The PAT was unsuccessful, making it 57-0. Shell Lake got on the board off a 43-yard pass play to make it a 57-7 at the break. The second half of the game was all running clock, making it a quick half. Both teams were scoreless in the third quarter, but the Pirates would score once more on a 20-yard touchdown run by Jase Quimby. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good to end the scoring at 64-7. John Chenal had 132 rushing yards on five carries followed by his brother Leo with 69 yards on four carries. Roufs had 15 yards on five carries, Quimby 19 yards on three carries and Ben Johnson had 18 yards on three carries. Levi Miller had three carries good for 21 yards. Pirate’s quarterback Luke Anderson was five for six for 110 yards for the night. Quimby was two for two and 32 yards.
MacKean had three catches for 75 total yards. Leo Chenal had one catch good for 29 yards, while Garrett Johnson had a 25-yard catch. John Chenal led the defense with six solo tackles along with three assists. Gabe Chenal was close behind with six solos and two assists. Phil Hein was next on the list with three solos and five assists. The Pirates will host the Unity Eagles on Friday night in a 7 p.m. game to determine who rules the North Lakeland Conference. Just as the Pirates have the Badger-bound Chenal brothers, the Eagles have two Division 1 players on their roster in Cody Ince, a senior lineman who committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes and Logan Hendrickson, also a senior, who has been getting looks by D1 schools as well. Grantsburg’s Robert W. Olson Field will be a popular place on Friday night with four D1 players taking to the field to battle it out for the conference title. “We have the conference title on the line next Friday versus a very good Unity team so it’s right back to work on Monday and we are excited for the challenge,” Coach Hale added.

Tiger Hunter Erickson came in ninth place with a time of 19:09.32. Joey Formanek recorded a time of 19:24.39. Mason Schaaf (20:08.8), Dustin Kern (21:39.33), and Edwin Janssen (22:48.97) were the remaining scorers from Webster.

Jared Lee (20:56.59), Joseph Ohnstad (21:12.25), and Trevor Vollendorf (22:35.1) scored for the Grantsburg squad.
Webster's girls placed seventh behind Osceola, Glenwood City, Prescott, Amery, St. Croix Falls and Boyceville. Lauren Ellefson of Osceola finished first with a time of 21:43.72. Webster's Sam Nelson was fifth overall at 22:43.51. Sydney Raschke had a time of 26:42.64 with Ali Moritz (27:40.05), Kaley Bergstrom (27:41.69) and Jenna Gomulak (27:44.3) coming next.

Mirlande Brande (27:44.61) and Hope McKinley (30:26.33) were the other two runners. “The course was slightly different from last year,” reported Pirate coach Lisa McKinley, “and I am pleased with how the athletes adjusted and adapted. On the girls side, Savanna Trittelwitz continues to develop as a new runner. The same with Mirlande Brande. These two are learning the basics of running and it is developing them as
runners. Hope McKinley continues to be a consistent runner who works hard. I am pleased and satisfied with their effort. Gracie Gerber did not run due to a calf injury. I think it is the first meet she has missed since fifth grade. But she still leads and inspires this team. We look forward to her getting back to racing. “The boys did a nice job of sticking close together,” continued Coach McKinley. “They are pushing each other and motivating themselves to strive for that PR. Joey Duncan led the charge with Nate McKinley running a strong second. Jared Lee continues to move up and make those around him a stronger competitor. Joseph Ohnstad is dedicated to lead the team and bettering himself. I am glad to see him continue to be a driving force. Theodore Vitale and Trevor Vollendorf make each other better everyday. Cole Reichstadt is working so hard and the improvement
he is making highlights that effort.” Tiger coach Roy Ward commented, “Hard to believe Conference is less than a week away. Where did the season go? It is always nice to see the growth over the season. Amery's meet was one more chance to polish up their race performances. I thought we ran well considering the amount of laps the team did for Loretta on Friday. I wasn't sure how they would be feeling. As we enter the next few races, the goal is for personal satisfaction for all racers.” “Edwin was our number five runner. Sam (Smith) ran better than he did at Ladysmith. We need to get a runner up with Dustin (Kern). Danny's (Ingalls) knee is bothering him, but he still ran a nice race. For the ladies, Kaley (Bergstrom) ran a nice race.” The Conference Meet ran on Tuesday. Sectionals are October 20 at Drummond.

We always look forward to the kids coming trickor-treating in their special outfits. When I was growing up in the grocery store, my dad loved to pass out the candy. He never could just give to the kids but included the adults. He dressed up and enjoyed the kids’ reaction when they saw what he was wearing. Fond memories!

COURT UPDATE
McKenzie Landing suspect off to trial SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNMENT CENTER— Allen G. Thomas, 53, Pepin, faces two charges of first degree intentional homicide and two charges of aggravated battery with intent to cause great bodily harm stemming from his alleged actions at McKenzie Landing in the summer of 2016. Thomas is scheduled to stand trial in these matters beginning at 8:30 a.m. May 21 in front of a 12-person jury. Thomas also has several bail charges against him along with three counts of perjury before a court. These files came to be after Thomas told the court he was unable to contact attorneys while detained in Barron County Jail in July 2016. Under oath, he testified that he was unable to “get the phone to work” in his cell block. Later he maintained he had not spoken to an attorney during his time spent in Barron, and he also urged that he was prevented from doing so. The criminal complaint issued by the Burnett County Circuit Court states, “Thomas’ testimony is utterly belied by phone records and recordings of telephone calls made by Thomas during his time spent in Barron County Jail. Those records make plain that Thomas had in fact made several calls from the phone in his cell block at said jail.”
WISCONSIN BRIEFING
Las Vegas shooter’s father had ties to Wisconsin ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHEBOYGAN (AP) — While investigators in Las Vegas work to find out what motivated a one-time accountant with no known criminal history to inflict so much pain in a mass shooting, others digging into his past know his father was a notorious bank robber with ties to Wisconsin. Stephen Paddock’s father, Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, was born in Sheboygan in 1925. The family eventually moved to Superior and then to Chicago. The elder Paddock tried to run down an FBI agent in Las Vegas in 1960 and wound up on the agency’s most wanted list after escaping from a federal prison in Texas in 1968. He was captured ten years later in Oregon. An FBI poster at the time said Paddock had been “diagnosed as psychopathic” and should be considered “armed and very dangerous.”

WISCONSIN BRIEFING
‘Making a Murderer’ defendant Avery denied new trial SCOTT BAUER ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON (AP) — A Wisconsin man convicted in the killing of a woman that was the focus of the hit Netflix series “Making a Murderer” was denied a request for a new trial Tuesday. Steven Avery’s attorney said she planned to present new evidence to the court to try and revive his request after it was rejected by a state circuit judge. Avery had argued that his conviction in the 2005 death of photographer Teresa Halbach was based on planted evidence and false testimony. “We have additional test results and witness affidavits,” Avery’s attorney Kathleen Zellner said in a statement. “The scientific testing is not completed, we remain optimistic that Mr. Avery’s conviction will be vacated.” Sheboygan County Circuit Judge Angela Sutkiewicz said in her ruling based on the evidence presented so far,
Avery failed to establish grounds to warrant a new trial. Avery argued that new scientific tests cast doubt on evidence submitted at his trial, presented alternate theories about the killing and questioned motives of police. Given the totality of evidence submitted at the trial, no reasonable probability exists that a different result would be reached at a new trial, the judge said. Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel praised the decision, saying it “brings us one step closer to providing justice to Teresa Halbach’s family.” He said the Department of Justice would continue to vigorously defend Avery’s conviction. Avery, 55, was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of first-degree intentional homicide in the 2005 death of Halbach, a 25-year-old photographer. Avery’s nephew, Brendan Dassey, confessed to detectives he helped his uncle rape and kill Halbach at the
Avery family’s salvage yard. A judge overturned Dassey’s conviction last year, ruling that investigators took advantage of the then-16-year-old Dassey’s cognitive disabilities and tricked him into confessing. The state is fighting that ruling and a federal appeals court heard arguments in the case last week. Dassey remains in custody while the appeal is pending. Both Avery and Dassey maintain their innocence. The case gained national attention in 2015 after Netflix aired “Making a Murderer,” a multi-part documentary examining Halbach’s death. The series spawned conjecture about the pair’s innocence, but those who worked on the cases accused the filmmakers of leaving out key pieces of evidence and presenting a biased view of what happened. The filmmakers defended their work and supported calls to set both Avery and Dassey free.

GOP introduces bill to wipe out state air pollution rules ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE—Rep. David Bowen (D-Milwaukee) visited Indian Community School today where, along with advocates, community leaders, educators, and students, he introduced legislation declaring the second Monday in October “Indigenous Peoples Day.” Bowen issued the following statement: “I’m proud to introduce this measure honoring the people who lived for centuries on North America and here in Wisconsin before the so-called discovery of America by European explorers. “This legislation will give the
state a real opportunity to celebrate and learn more about the native people who call Wisconsin home and are such an important part of our state’s heritage.” Last year, students at Indian Community School drafted a resolution which was approved by the Milwaukee County Board recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day. Allison Jornlin, a teacher at Indian Community School, led the students in their effort. “Our students’ success at the county level demonstrates that children don’t need to wait until they are adults to make a difference,” said Jornlin. “We
are excited to take this effort to the state level with Rep. Bowen leading the charge and hope a bipartisan showing of legislators will join together to celebrate Wisconsin’s native populations. Ultimately, we hope to see Indigenous Peoples Day permanently replace Columbus Day on the federal level.” Rep. Bowen’s Indigenous Peoples Day legislation is circulating now for fellow legislators to cosponsor. Interested citizens may find and contact their legislators at www.legis.wi.gov and encourage them to cosponsor the bill.
MADISON (AP) — Republicans are proposing eliminating any state air pollution rule that goes beyond federal regulations. Reps. Jesse Kremer and Cody Horlacher and Sen. Duey Stroebel have introduced a bill that would eliminate any state air pollution rules that go beyond federal regulations. They said in a memo seeking co-sponsors that the state regulates nearly 300 more air pollutants than the federal government and less than a third of those pollutants are actually emitted. They say the state regulations are overly burdensome on businesses. The Department of Natural Resources would still be allowed to promulgate rules going beyond federal regulations in the future but those rules would be in effect for 10 years. Messages left with environmental groups Midwest Environmental Advocates and Clean Wisconsin weren’t immediately returned.
GOP bill would end Wisconsin wetland development permits ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans are pushing to allow developers to build on state wetlands without any oversight after passing a $3 billion incentives package for a Foxconn Technology Group plant exempting the facility from a host of environmental regulations. The Foxconn incentives bill allows the Taiwanese company to fill wetlands without permits. Conservationists and Republican supporters alike predicted the legislation could pave the way for much broader environmental rollbacks after the bill’s critics complained other businesses don’t get such perks. Estimates of how many of Wisconsin’s 5 million or so wetland acres fall under state jurisdiction vary from 10 percent to 30 percent. The rest are under federal jurisdiction because they’re generally part of navigable waters such as Lake Superior or the Mississippi or Wisconsin rivers. The state wetlands, in contrast, are typically isolated swamps and bogs. Republicans have long bris-
tled at Department of Natural Resources permit requirements for filling state wetlands, saying the process slows business expansion. Sen. Roger Roth and Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke introduced a bill Friday that would eliminate the permit system. Developers would still have to abide by requirements that call for them to create 1.2 acres of wetlands for every acre filled “We’ve been hearing for years from homeowners and developers from every corner of the state about how onerous the process is to get permits to fill (wetlands), how time-consuming it is, how costly it is,” Steineke said in a phone interview. “These aren’t high-quality wetlands that serve a broader function.” Scott Manley, a lobbyist for Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, the state’s largest business group, said in August that the Foxconn bill could provide a “proof of concept” for regulatory reform. The group issued a statement Monday praising the Roth-Steineke bill. Steineke and Roth aide Angela Roidt both said they had
been exploring wetland permit exemptions before the Foxconn bill surfaced. But Steineke said that bill gave them an extra push. “When you had legislators and other members of the public coming out saying they’d prefer we do these exemptions for everybody, not just one business, it was encouraging,” he said. Erin O’Brien, policy programs director for the Wisconsin Wetlands Association, said she was sure the Foxconn incentives played a role in developing the broader wetland bill. She called the new bill the Republicans’ “end game” for wetland development. Wetlands serve as natural retention ponds, she said; destroying them leaves communities open to flooding. Even though state law requires rebuilding more wetlands than acres lost, there’s no guarantee the new wetlands will be located in the same area or that the new wetlands will be as good as the lost acres, she said. “It’s unfortunate that what these (legislators) are choosing to do is eliminate a permitting system that we think balances
wetland protection and development and replaces it with a system that allows developers to essentially pay to pave wetlands,” she said. The bill’s prospects look good. Aides for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald didn’t immediately reply to emails, but Steineke and Roth have considerable clout in the Legislature. Steineke is the second most powerful member of the Assembly behind Vos and is one of the speaker’s closest allies. Roth is president of the Senate. The measure is the second major environmental rollback Republicans have proposed in as many weeks. Reps. Jesse Kremer and Cody Horlacher and Sen. Duey Stroebel, all Republicans, introduced a bill on Sept. 20 that would wipe out all state air pollution rules that go beyond federal regulations. The DNR would be able to write new state rules going forward but they would be effective for only a decade. In a memo seeking co-sponsors the legislators wrote that the DNR regulates nearly 300 more hazardous air pollutants
than required by federal law and less than a third of them are actually emitted. “These failed bureaucratic policies and red tape create a ripple effect that leaves businesses and hardworking taxpayers stranded on an island of artificial marketplace regulation,” the lawmakers wrote. DNR spokesman James Dick couldn’t immediately verify the scope of the state’s air pollution regulation. Sarah Berry, a lobbyist for environmental advocacy group Clean Wisconsin, warned the federal government mainly focuses on pollutants that pose problems nationwide. Wisconsin’s standards reflect the state’s unique situation, she said. “A full-scale repeal of our state-specific protections could have tremendous negative consequences for the health and well-being of people living in Wisconsin communities across the state,” she said in an email. The Foxconn bill didn’t include any air pollution exemptions.

A Colorado parable Last year, my brother and I went on vacation together in Vail, Colorado to celebrate his birthday. We were both out of shape “flatlanders,� but what do you do in Colorado — you go on a hike. The lady at the desk gave us directions to Beaver Creek Trail, and told us there was “some elevation,� and we were off. I should have been concerned when we pulled into the Beaver Creek Ski Resort, but hey, we were on an adventure. Before Pastor Paul Peterson we arrived at the trail head, we needed to Bethany Lutheran Church stop and ask directions four times, but then we were hiking in the beautiful Colorado

Later I pondered how this adventure is like our faith journey. You need to seek the path, often stopping and asking directions along the way. The way may be challenging, but when it is, we need to stop, turn around and see the trials of our trail from God’s point of view. When we get to the top of our mountain, it feeds our soul, but then (like Jesus) we need to return to the valley below. And finally, it’s always best to not travel our faith journey alone but in the company of family and friends.
Rocky Mountains. Oh, that “some elevation� was due to hiking up a ski slope. My brother commented, “You know... with each step... the oxygen is getting thinner.� But, then we would stop, turn around and see a vista that truly took our breath away. We arrived at our destination, a beautiful alpine lake surrounded by pine trees and rugged granite peaks. After beholding the beauty of the earth and the slight ripples on the surface of the lake from trout feeding, we turned around and made our way back to our resort.

Choose the right cancer care specialist for you Cancer is a word no one wants to hear. Unfortunately, according to BreastCancer.org, around one in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, while the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation notes that one in nine Canadian women will receive the same news. A cancer diagnosis is more manageable when patients have knowledgeable and supportive medical teams on their side. Taking an active role in one’s care can help cancer patients feel more in control. One of the most important steps a person can take after receiving a cancer diagnosis is to find an oncologist who offers the ideal blend of

skills and support. A doctor who diagnoses cancer is not necessarily the one who will guide patients through their treatments. Typically, general practitioners will refer patients to an oncologist, who specializes in treating individuals with cancer. Oncologists can be found in many different settings. Some practice in university hospitals, community medical centers or private practices. Oncologists stay up-to-date on all of the latest research and treatment options concerning cancer, which should help calm patients’ concerns about working with a new doctor. Finding the right oncologist after receiving a cancer diagnosis requires patience. The following are some tips for cancer patients and their families as they begin searching for an oncologist. • Speak with a trusted
doctor. A family doctor may be able to recommend an oncologist. The American Cancer Society advises newly diagnosed cancer patients ask their doctors, “If you were in my place, which doctor would you see first?” • Research cancer specialities. The American Society of Clinical Oncology advises cancer patients to select a doctor who specializes in their type of cancer. Find out if the doctor received any advanced training, and make certain he or she is board certified in oncology. • Choose a convenient location. The location of the doctor’s office as well as the oncologist’s hospital affiliation may play a role in the decision. While some people will travel all over for the best care, being closer to home may be a priority for others. • Confirm care will be covered. When a list of preferential oncologists has been made, patients must confirm that doctors will accept their insurance coverage to avoid potentially hefty out-of-pocket costs. • Learn about different services. Some oncologists work with an extensive group of people who offer well-rounded care. These can include nutritionists, physical therapists, social workers, and specialty registered nurses. If this is a priority to you, locate an oncologist with such a team under one roof. Once cancer patients choose an oncologist who meets their particular needs, the road to getting well can be that much easier to navigate.
BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS Cancer is a formidable foe. Among women, no cancer poses a greater threat than breast cancer, which the World Health Organization reports is the most often diagnosed cancer both in the developed and developing worlds. Gaining a greater understanding of breast cancer may not prevent the onset of this disease that kills hundreds of thousands of women each year, but it might increase the chances of early detection, which can greatly improve women’s chances of survival. The following are the established risk factors for breast cancer. • Gender: Being female is the single biggest risk factor for developing breast cancer. Men can get breast cancer, but the risk for men is substantially smaller than it is for women. According to Breastcancer. org, roughly 190,000 women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year in the United States alone. • Age: The American Cancer Society notes that about two out of every three invasive breast cancers are found in women ages 55 and older, whereas just one out of every eight invasive breast cancers are found in women younger than 45. The WHO notes that instances of breast cancer are growing in developing countries, citing longer life expectancies as one of the primary reasons for that increase. • Family history: According to the WHO, a family history of breast cancer increases a woman’s risk factor by two or
three. Women who have had one first-degree female relative, which includes sisters, mothers and daughters, diagnosed with breast cancer are at double the risk for breast cancer than women without such family histories. The risk of developing breast cancer is five times greater for women who have two first-degree relatives who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. • Menstrual history: Women who began menstruating younger than age 12 have a higher risk of developing breast cancer later in life than women who began menstruating after their twelfth birthdays. The earlier a woman’s breasts form, the sooner they are ready to interact with hormones and chemicals in products that are hormone disruptors. Longer interaction with hormones and hormone disruptors increases a woman’s risk for breast cancer. • Lifestyle choices: A 2005 comparative risk assessment of nine behaviors and environmental factors published in the U.K. medical journal The Lancet found that 21 percent of all breast cancer deaths across the globe are attributable to alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity and physical inactivity. Women can do nothing to control breast cancer risk factors like gender, age and family history, but making the right lifestyle choices, including limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight and living an active lifestyle, can reduce the likelihood that they will develop breast cancer.

Post-breast cancer exercise
Pregnancy possible after breast cancer More women are diagnosed with breast cancer than any other cancer. For many women, one of the more frightening aspects of a breast cancer diagnosis is the potential impact the disease can have on an area of the body often associated with femininity and motherhood. Cancer.net indicates the five-year survival rate for breast cancer if the cancer is only in one breast is 95 percent. That rate dips to 85 percent if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. Even though this is great news, women may worry about the long-term implications of post-cancer life, particularly how they relate to future pregnancy plans. Early detection and improvements in treatment have markedly decreased the numbers of breast cancer-related fatalities. However, the therapies used to treat breast cancer can affect fertility and a woman’s ability to have a successful pregnancy. While pregnancy after cancer treatment is often safe for both the baby and mother, women should still educate themselves about the potential effects of breast cancer treatment with regard to pregnancy.
METRO CREATIVE
a woman has to have children. This is a particular concern for young women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Chemotherapy can damage the ovaries, while tamoxifen, a commonly used hormone therapy, can cause irregular periods or stop the menstrual cycle altogether. Both of these treatments also may bring on natural menopause earlier than usual, according to the International Breast Cancer Study Group. Young women can opt to have their unfertilized eggs or embryos frozen and stored prior to starting cancer treatment. It’s important to meet with a fertility specialist early on to discuss options.
Infertility risks and preserving fertility
Waiting game
One of the main concerns women have after surviving a breast cancer diagnosis is the risk of infertility. Susan G. Komen says both chemotherapy and hormone therapy can impact fertility and decrease the window of time
According to the American Cancer Society, some doctors advise breast cancer survivors to wait at least two years after finishing treatment before they try to get pregnant. No research yet indicates that getting pregnant will
make women more susceptible to the cancer coming back, nor will pregnancy increase the risks of birth defects or other long-term health concerns in children born to women who have had breast cancer.
Breastfeeding after cancer Depending on the type of breast cancer treatment they receive, many women are still able to breastfeed. However, if radiation or surgery has affected breast health, milk production may be affected and the baby may have difficulty latching on. Using a breast pump to express milk may be an option. However, commercially produced infant formulas also can provide the nutrition growing babies need. Choosing to have children after breast cancer is a personal decision. Thanks to medical advancements, the possibility to conceive and raise a family is strong.
