District Attorney makes ﬁnal appearance at County Board Norine recognized for his decade of service Jonathan Richie EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine is serving his last week in office. At the board meeting, he reflected on his time in office by sharing a couple of stories and what the job meant to him personally, dating back to when the courthouse was still in Grantsburg. Norine will be resigning as District Attorney effective Sept. 1. He has said that he will be leaving office so his replacement has time “to get a feel” for the position and

decide whether or not to stay the rest of the term which ends in 2020. The top candidates for replacing Norine are Burnett County Assistant District Attorney Dan Steffen and Cumberland Attorney Joseph Schieffer. “One of the smartest and funniest people I have ever met,” County Chairman Don Taylor said about Norine. “He has certainly done a great job for the county over the years. He is famous not only for his musical ability, but also his poetry in the courtroom.” Norine told a couple of stories, starting with one about when he

was working in the New Hampshire Supreme Court while David Souter was a judge. “I once asked him, ‘what do I do if I know my client is guilty?’” Norine asked of the future U.S. Supreme Court Justice. “He spun around on his heel and said ‘were you there?’ Well no I wasn’t, I said. ‘Well then, you don’t know.’ Norine has a conviction rate of 80 percent in jury trials and 68 in court trials, he said he has lost five. “Everybody shouldn’t be found SEE BOARD, PAGE 2

Ramps closing at Hwy. 70 The southbound Interstate 35 ramps at County Road 7/Hillside Avenue in Pine City are now open, but the Minnesota Department of Transportation has announced that the southbound I-35 ramps at Highway 70 in Rock Creek will close for two weeks beginning Friday, Aug. 24. According to MnDOT, Highway 70 ramp traffic will be detoured onto the southbound I-35 ramps at Highway 7 and Highway 11. Single-lane traffic will continue on I-35 as construction work continues on the reconstruction of the Snake River Bridge. Work on this project is scheduled to end in October.

More road work on I-35 Just after Labor Day weekend, more road construction work is planned on I-35 south of Rock Creek. Construction crews plan to make road improvements on an eight-mile section of I-35 from the Chisago/Pine County line to the Harris exit. The work will include concrete pavement repair, drainage updates and safety improvements. Motorists can expect off-peak, daytime lane closures as crews conduct prep work beginning at 7 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 5, weather permitting.

guilty or something is wrong,” Norine declared. “Someone is cherry-picking (cases) or they are just not trying harder cases or what not.” He continued with a story of when he was walking around on the second floor of the government center between the courtroom and his office. He noticed a man waiting for his time in court and when Norine past the wooden benches in the foyer he heard the man say “he seems fair.” Norine’s final story was a tale about his father being a custodian at the courthouse when it was in Grantsburg. His father told him under no circumstance was he allowed to go into the District Attorney’s office, held by Don Paul Novitzke. “That was forbidden because of the reverence he had for that office and the reverence he had for Mr. Novitzke,” Norine

said of his father. “Dad, don’t be mad I went into the DA’s office.” He concluded his statements with a poem he wrote for his dad and the job. He had the attention of everyone as the room went silent and when he finished there was an eruption of applause. “Pride and the love are always there,” Norine read. “And always will be.” Judge Melissia Mogen took a moment from her busy schedule of status conferences to make brief comments about Norine and the courts caseload. “We’re going to miss Mr. Norine,” Mogen said. “We will miss his personality and his jokes-he is a jokester. We will also miss his poems here in Burnett County.” Mogen then thanked the board for their support. Earlier this year the board approved using the county board room as a second courtroom. “The change that it has made it’s just amazing,”

Mogen said. “I just want to let you know how thankful I am that we were able to accomplish (opening up the second courtroom) with just a little bit of work and a little bit of resources. Thank you so much.” She added the courts are continuing to make improvements helping with efficiency in the department. They still have a high count of 1.72 judges per county, but Mogen believes the improvements are doing “wonders” for the Court. Forest Administrator Jake Nichols gave a short presentation of the 2019 Burnett County Forest Work Plan. It’s an annual plan that Nichols did not elaborate too much on and the board quickly approved the plan. The annual plans states the department is looking to sell around 2,450 acres in 2019. The plan also lays objectives on how they will maintain the various snowmobile and ATV trails across the

county.

In other items: • Jennifer Shearer and Toni McCutcheon from Indianhead Community Action Agency(ICAA) delivered their 2017 annual report to the board. Shearer added in the future they will be visiting the county more often to get a better understanding of what is going on in the county. Also, they will be

looking for opportunities for ICAA and the county to partner up to improve the community. • The board approved a Dark Store loophole resolution. Chairman Taylor explained that this resolution is in support of other counties across the state with big box stores. The dark store loophole currently allows these large stores that may be paying $5 million

to gain a tax break down to $1 million and then the burden of the difference falls on the taxpayer. Burnett County currently does not have any of these type of retail stores but Taylor said “anything can happen in the future.”

paraphernalia and operating a motor vehicle while revoked. The District Attorney’s office has three other cases open related to the event that are traffic related; unsafe lane deviation, unreasonable and imprudent speed, and no ignition interlock device or inoperable. According to the criminal complaint, on Aug. 2 around 11:15 a.m., EMS workers along with a Sheriff’s deputy were dispatched for a report of an unresponsive male slumped over the steering wheel of his car with the door open at a rest stop in the Town of Swiss. While they responded to the call Towle allegedly “took off with medical equipment.” He then headed east on State Highway 77. Dispatch received another 911 call saying the vehicle was heading south on County Road F. During the chase, one deputy noticed “a large piece of medical equipment” and told dispatch were it was so it could be retrieved. Deputies caught up with Towle, who was allegedly swerving all over the road, and saw the vehicle traveling north in the southbound lane with the driver’s side tire nearly off the road. Towle slowed down and turned west onto Landing Road in front of a house. The vehicle stopped and Towle was ordered to show the officers his hands. Towle ended up driving up the lawn of the residence, one deputy followed on foot and the other went back to their squad car. Towle eventually exited the vehicle and ran into a heavily wooded

area. When deputies caught up with him, one deployed his taser and struck Towle on the right side of his back. Towle fell and had an orange prescription container clenched in his hand. When the deputies began to talk to him, Towle’s speech was slurred, slow and there was an odor of intoxicants coming from him. Towle said he had “a couple of wine coolers.” He was then transported to Burnett Medical center for a blood draw. EMS personnel informed the deputies that the medical equipment had been retrieved but it was damaged to the point of being destroyed. They also said the value of the equipment was over $3,000. A search was conducted on the vehicle, and deputies said they could smell marijuana coming from the vehicle. They found a pipe, commonly used to smoke marijuana, along with the green, leafy substance in an orange pill container. The nine prior OWI related offenses were from incidents in 1990, 1993, two in 1994, 2000, 2003 and two in 2008. Online court records show Towle was found guilty of OWI (7th, 8th, or 9th) at a jury trail and was sentenced by Judge Ken Kutz to serve three years in state prison, starting in late April of 2015. He was also sentenced to five years of extended supervision. Towle is scheduled to make his initial appearance in front of Judge Melissia Mogen on Sept. 12. If found guilty on all charges he could face up to more than 22 years in prison and over $70,000 in fines.

GRANTSBURG–– The Village of Grantsburg has been awarded a Community Development Block Grant for Public Facilities (CDBG-PF.) The 50/50 grant will be used to fund several projects to re-invigorate downtown Grantsburg and Madison Avenue. Gov. Scott Walker announced earlier this month that 33 Wisconsin communities were going to received $15 million local infrastructure and community projects. “The public facility grants will help Wisconsin communities improve streets, water systems, and construct new community buildings,” Walker said in a statement. “Grants for planning will help rebuild and revitalize communities in Wisconsin through planned public infrastructure projects.” The CDBG-PF is a program sponsored by the Federal government and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with the money being dispersed by the Wisconsin Department of Administration. Senior Project Manager at SEH Design|Build, Dan Penzkover said the CDBG is an annual process that is very competitive as municipalities across the state are all applying for the funds. The project is estimated to cost $760,000, Grantsburg has been awarded $380,000 and the other half will come from the village and may include in-kind donations. SEH has been working with the Grantsburg Revitalization Operation (GRO), who have already chosen benches, that have been approved by the village board, to be purchased as part of the project. Those benches were chosen thanks to a trip that Kelly Gerber of GRO made earli-

er this year to Tulsa, Okla. while visiting her sister. “They were a much better price point,” Kristina Kelley-Johnson of GRO said. The group had been looking at a variety of benches that were all very expensive. GRO’s involvement with this project began after SEH looked at Saige Henkel’s Capstone Project she completed while studying architecture at UW-Madison. Henkel came up with three seperate designs for downtown Grantsburg, all were focused on improving the downtown area as well as making it more accessible. Some of the projects the grant will fund include; • Improved crosswalk from Madison Avenue across Olson Drive for better pedestrian access to Memory Lake Park. • Numerous curb bumpouts will be added on both sides on Madison Avenue. • Street lights will be replaced and upgraded. • Section of the curb will be replaced and the street overlay will be improved • Sections of sidewalk will be repaired and replaced with ADA pedestrian ramps. • New water main to replaced old undersized main on Pine Street between Madison Avenue and Olson Drive. The old water main will be removed. Penzkover said SEH is already working on the project type and conceptual ideas for the project. SEH will take their design proposal along with construction oversight and bid out the projects in early 2019. “If we’re mindful we can incoroporate esthetically pleasing elements that are also practical for downtown,” Kelley-Johnson said. “It could be a fresh start for Grantsburg,”

Here goes nothin’ So here’s a crazy idea – what if more guns is not the answer? Last week, reports came out showing the U.S. Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, was considering putting aside federal grant money for states to arm teachers with guns inside American classrooms. This is stupid. It’s on par with DeVos, who once made the abhorrent comment that historically black colleges and universities (HBCU’s) were pioneers in school choice. Just a heads up – it’s not a choice if white people do not allow you to register or apply for their schools. I’m not from a small town. I did not grow up in a hunting family and would really like to go to the grave without ever firing a gun. Some may say that I have no standing on this topic, but I do come from a family of educators. I believe our society until very Sentinel recently has done a pathetic job handling mental health and is Editor only now realizing that mental Jonathan Richie health is just as important as physical health, depression needs to be taken as seriously as a broken spine. Why doesn’t the federal government put aside money for proper school supplies, so teachers don’t have to spend their salaries on supplies for their classrooms? How about proper technology so low-income schools can have the same access to technology as affluent schools? Or why not put money aside so teachers can have adequate salaries so they don’t need two other jobs. Side note, bulletproof backpacks and bulletproof inserts for backpacks are becoming a thing. They are a sort of sad and stupid surrendering to the reality that these shootings, which only regularly happen in America, are common and every child should be protected. You can call me idealistic and soft-hearted, but it seems that schools should be places where everyone can feel safe. Even though I am a city person I understand that this area is full of responsible gun owners that hunt or keep guns for self protection. My father has taught electrical engineering for over 20 years at Marquette University. His father was a high school math teacher (and football coach) for years at Wilson High School in West Lawn, Pa. My mother has taught early childhood and students with special needs for longer than I’ve been alive at a number of institutions. Both of my brothers are teachers, the older recently started lecturing Criminal Justice courses at UW-Oshkosh and the younger is a math teacher in the Milwaukee Public Schools system. I do not want any of them having a gun at work. Because if a shooter enters a building, I assume the shooter will first go after a threat, like someone with a gun. There are jobs that require knowledge and wherewithal to use guns, public instructor should not be one of them. Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. See ya next week.

When I grow up... Tom Stangl FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

It doesn’t seem possible, but we a just a few days away from the end of August. I always hate to see August end because it means that summer is over. Summer, the dessert of the seasons, never seems to last long enough. August flies by in part because it is a birthday month in our family. My two daughters and my eldest granddaughter all have August birthdays. This means buying presents and having parties. We held the last one this past weekend as granddaughter From the Persephone turned 10 on Aug. 26. Birthday parties are one of the Publisher’s times in life when you can pause to Desk reflect on how things have changed Tom Stangl over the past year. Persephone (called Sephie most of the time) is growing like a weed physically and emotionally. She will be a tall lady and is a quick study on many things. She enters fifth grade after Labor Day. Her younger sister Seraphina (Sera most of the time) turned four in June and will attend 4K this fall. During the birthday party, her father was making predictions about what his daughters will be doing as adults, based on their behaviors to date. Sephie? A forester, veterinarian or marine biologist. Sera? A stand up comedian or dancer. (She’s quite a quick wit, good timing). I think her father is probably right and I’m looking forward to see how their stories play out. Of course this is all conjecture, but it’s fun to make a guess every now and then. I did it with my children and I bet you have done it with yours. I was sure the way they both bargained at meal time on what they would or would not eat that my daughters would be

lawyers, negotiating contracts or plea deals. (I doubt I am alone in making this guess at meal time). Truth be told, none of us truly knows our path. If we are fortunate, it is revealed to us through our experiences. Hopefully we have a supportive family to help us along the way. It is truly a great help to have encouragement and understanding from those we love. The dizzying pace of change in our society has made adaptability a prized virtue. It is estimated that people will change jobs 12 to 15 times in their lifetimes, careers from three to seven times in a lifetime. That’s a lot of change. Being able to manage these changes can determine whether a person is happy or financially secure. Technological advances have displaced many workers who have either needed more training or the ability to settle for a lower paying career to survive. Sometimes, a lower paying job can bring more happiness. It’s all a matter of your obligations and priorities. When I was Sephie’s age, I thought I would be an astronaut and live on the moon. It was 1971, after all and man had just landed on the moon. Looking though the lens of today, it’s difficult to know what careers will survive into the next half century. Things that we take for granted can easily be upended by an unforeseen advance in technology or shift in societal values. So, it’s OK for us to dream of many different jobs. We need to be open to all possibilities in our lives, no matter when they reveal themselves to us. Often it’s about the journey, not the destination. Here’s hoping that we all can have a great journey. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

What legislation will you support to attract businesses to NW WI that will pay a livable wage?

Editor’s note: Leading up to the midterm elections, the Upper St. Croix Valley League of Women Voters has posed a series of questions to local candidates on issues important to northwest Wisconsin. This is the first of five questions Assembly District 28 candidates have been invited to answer in the coming months. BY KIM BUTLER, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 28

Along with making healthcare accessible and affordable and funding our public schools, bringing family supporting jobs to NW Wisconsin is one of the three main reasons I am running to represent Assembly District 28 in Madison. In my volunteer work over the last 15 years, I have met too many families who work full time, yet struggle to provide the Kim Butler basics for their families. No one who works full time should live in poverty. Unemployment rates are low, but our district, especially Burnett County, lags behind. Wages are stagnant. Workers go across the river for better pay in Minnesota. Others work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Statewide, we need to address the wage issue. I was initially leery of “$15 an Hour Minimum Wage” proposals, unsure that this would work in rural areas, and concerned about the effect that a wage increase would have on small businesses. But I have seen the time frame that recent proposed legislation would enact, phasing in gradual increases over the nextfive years, and I think that this would be workable, giving the economy time to expand, to allow small businesses to grow as area workers have more money to put into our local economy. Tax credits or other mechanisms to protect small businesses, especially farms, could still be an option. Attracting jobs doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Employers want to locate where they can find quality employees, and employees want to live places with adequate housing, good schools, affordable quality childcare, and cultural and

outdoor activities. We need to ensure these needs are met in order to attract employers, and to keep our talented workers here in the 28th District. Wisconsin lags behind every other state in small business start ups. This is one area of potential growth that we can foster with legislation. We need to provide the tools entrepreneurs need to succeed, including good internet and cellular service. While funding for broadband has been increasing, Minnesota has spent 84 million dollars over the past 4 years, while Wisconsin spent less than 20 million (Public Service Commission of Wis. and Minn. Office of Broadband development.) My husband and I own a small internet-based business that began in our basement 20 years ago, and now employs 17 people, in part because of the quality service from our particular rural internet service provider. We also need to train our students for the jobs that exist in this community. Public-private partnerships that work with our schools and area businesses need to be supported and expanded with legislation. Our young people need training opportunities close to home. Students need adequate career guidance, to help them realize that a fouryear degree is far from the only path to a well paying career. Skilled tech and manufacturing jobs, skilled trades, Healthcare and jobs in the Renewable Energy sector need to be encouraged, with internships, apprenticeships, and training in both the classroom and on the job. I would support legislation to increase this type of training. Finally, given the costs involved in hiring and training new employees, businesses want to retain workers. One way to do this is with affordable healthcare. I am proposing opening up Badgercare as a buy-in option to all, taking the federal Medicaid expansion money, and creating small business insurance exchanges to allow smaller businesses to afford to provide healthcare to their workers, and getting rid of “zip code discrimination” that allows insurers to charge higher rates in areas like ours (I discovered that my insurance would be hundreds of dollars a month cheaper if

I moved to Madison.) Here in the 28th District, we offer an attractive lifestyle, close proximity to the Twin Cities, Eau Claire and the Twin Ports. I will work to secure funding in Madison to grow our economy, to reach our full potential here in Northwest Wisconsin. BY GAE MAGNAFICI, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE, ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 28

First, there must be a workforce ready to sustain an increased amount of businesses in an area, especially an area like Northwestern Wisconsin. It is extremely important that the state continues to support worker training programs and apprenticeship Gae Magnaﬁci programs. When technical colleges work with local companies to tailor worker apprenticeship programs to fit their needs, workers are prepared to hit the ground running working for that local company. In turn, those newly educated workers are inclined to stay in Northwestern Wisconsin instead of going to Minnesota. Keeping quality people and their families here keeps our economy strong. Second, broadband expansion in rural areas is imperative to a strong economy and keeping family supporting jobs in Northwestern Wisconsin. Over the years, broadband has become a necessity rather than a luxury. The state has been partnering with local electric companies to increase broadband accessibility across Wisconsin. Not just private homes rely on quality broadband access – small businesses, schools, libraries, hotels, tourist attractions, and local governments need to have reliable access to internet in order to function. I look forward to being involved in continuing this trend if elected to office. Further, regulation has proven to be a hindrance to businesses moving to Wisconsin or expanding their current operations. When government makes small businesses cut through miles

of red tape just to expand their business or forces entrepreneurs to jump through hoops just to start a company, that stifles growth and stalls the creation of new jobs. If government gets out of the way and allows the free market to work like it is supposed to, quality jobs will follow. The people of Northwestern Wisconsin are driven. They will succeed if the government allows them to. As your State Representative, I would make it a priority to get the government out of the way of progress so that our entrepreneurs can do what they do best – innovate and create jobs. Over the past eight years, the State of Wisconsin has successfully lowered the tax burden to its citizens. Because of that, business has decided to stay here or even better, move here from other states. As a result, more people are working in Wisconsin than ever before – our unemployment rate is an impressive 2.8 percent. Before 2010, we were continually seeing raising taxes and a stagnant economy. While we are moving in the right direction and I applaud the work that has been done so far by the Legislature and our Governor, there is still more work to be done. If elected, I would be willing to consider any legislation that is aimed at lowering taxes. Those lower taxes will inevitably lead to an even more favorable climate for family supporting jobs. Finally, as a nurse for 35 years, I know how important quality healthcare is. If we want families to stay in Northwestern Wisconsin they need the peace of mind that there are affordable healthcare options. Living in a rural area, this has been a struggle for many years. Across the river, healthcare is affordable and plentiful while here in Burnett, Polk, and St. Croix Counties we are struggling. I look forward to working on legislation that helps ease this burden. Much like healthcare, families expect quality education for their children. Funding our schools and making sure teachers have the tools they need is extremely important so that workers are comfortable raising their families in Northwestern Wisconsin.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To The Editor: With the closing of the Danbury Cares Donut and Sweet Shop, the Danbury community lost a friend. Five years ago, Linda Young had a vision of “Danbury Cares,” a program to care for individuals in need in our community. Her plan began with making and selling candy which quickly expanded to include donuts, with the proceeds to be given to community needs. It quickly became a successful business, growing, and moving several times to its final location as “Danbury Cares Donut and Sweet Shop” on Main

Street. As was the original intention, once expenses were paid, profits were given to individuals in need and to community organization programs: peoples foreclosures were avoided, fuel tanks filled, groceries purchased, and Easter and Christmas baskets delivered. For example, last Christmas, fifty-seven families received baskets that included $50 gifts cards! In addition, contributions were given to the Danbury Fire and Rescue Department and to Webster school for their Christmas gift drive and the Webster school

Grants fuel outside projects LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—Monday evening, the school board learned how grant funds were being applied and discussed future grant seeking efforts. There was also a recap of summer building projects, the remodel, and a tour of the new weight room. As part of the Department of Justice’s School Safety Initiative Grant, The Grantsburg School District was awarded $68,590 to enhance security at the schools. Principal Josh Watt was in attendance to report to the board how the High School’s safety would benefit from this grant. Plans are in place to further secure the main entryway at the interior doors of the vestibule. The existing structures will be fitted with locking push bars and the door frames with mullions (a vertical bar between a two-door combination) for the bars to latch onto. The electronic locks controlled by the existing computerized locking system. Doors will also be lined with 3M Security Window Film to strengthen glass against shattering. Grants are an essential part of funding projects such as this. Grant writing can be an arduous process, requiring research, statistics, justifications, and post-award regulations and reporting. The School District recently met with Robert J. Miller & Associates, Inc. (RJMA), a firm that counsels educators on fundraising and grant development, on how to streamline this process. Dr. Joni Burgin reported that the firm shared that grant donors typically want assurances their money will provide success, and the district’s “pattern of excellence” does just that. Additionally, the firm gave Burgin a list of items that

are trending grant topics. Such topics include healthy green technology and sustainable energy courses. “Anything that has a direct impact on students, like career orientation tracks. STEM, robotics, team competitions,” Burgin shared. The board also reviewed the list of projects the building and maintenance staff has completed over the summer. Everything from landscaping to replacing windows to shed roofing. Board member Chris Erickson noted the excellent job the team did on stripping and waxing the floors. “The floors are so shiny, you don’t want to walk on them,” Chris Erickson said. In that conversation, the subject of the High School flooring and bleacher project came up. Formerly a part of the construction that took place this summer, these two items were tabled until 2019 due to scope and expense.

“The costs came in higher than anticipated,” Burgin said of the delay. “Given with the size of the project this year, and trying to budget backward, it might be better to try a different approach.” Which led to a discussion on whether a long-term project - specifically, a field house would be a better investment. Before any decision on something that significant would happen, a long-range planning committee of citizens and community agencies would need to be selected, building and maintenance staff consulted, and a facility study completed. Pointing out the floor and bleachers would need repair regardless of a replacement construction, President Dave Dahlberg said, “I think that the bleachers and floor can go ahead with fixing without a long-term planning study.” No decisions and no concrete plans for community meetings were made on this issue

pending further research, In other items: • The board participated in a team-building exercise based on their aptitudes identified by Strength Finder. This program is used with the staff for developing successful teams, and with high school students to build self-awareness for career development. • Approval was given for the purchase of 21 wireless portable access devices and data time.

GRANTSBURG––Last Monday, members of the Sentinel staff noticed the flowers in front of the office were damaged and later found out it was due to an altercation that occurred inside Denny’s Bar in downtown Grantsburg. According to Grantsburg Chief of Police Jeff Schinzing, around 11:30 p.m. Sheriff deputies responded to a call referring to a fight at Denny’s Bar. When officers inquired there was some confusion about who or why the fight started. The incident resulted in three people being arrested and booked into Burnett County Jail that evening. David A. Johnson, 37, Grantsburg, was arrested on a warrant charge. Claudia Hanson, 25, Pine City, was arrested for disorderly conduct. James R. Brown, 30, Grantsburg, was arrested for resisting or obstructing an officer, disorderly conduct and battery.

The DNR were called to two wild grass fires on Wednesday last week in Burnett County. The first was a smaller fire in Webster and the other was reportedly much larger in the Town of Wood River. The DNR had posted that there was a moderate threat level of wildfires early last week. According to the DNR, the fire in Webster was north of County Road D on the west side of Highway 35. It burned a tenth of an

acre of grass land and is believed to be started by some sort of equipment. The Wood River fire was called in around 2 p.m. on Wednesday and burned a total of two acres on the Northeast corner of Highway 70 and County Road M near Nelson Elementary School. Crews from the ranger station in Grantsburg and Webster responded to the fire in Wood River, along with Grantsburg Fire Department and North Memorial Ambulance.

SIREN–– The Siren School Board announced Monday night changes to the traffic flow in front of the school that will limit access to parents dropping off students in hopes of making morning dropoffs and afternoon pick-ups safer. Due to heavy rainfall the board could not go outside, but they did explain the changes to traffic on Fourth Avenue in front of the school. Before the meeting the board celebrated Superintendent Kevin Shetler’s birthday with ice cream cake and everyone in attendance was greeted with a piece. Associate Principal Wayne Koball explained there will be no vehicular traffic other than busses on Fourth Avenue between County Road B and Lilac Lane before and after school beginning Sept. 4. There will also be no access to

front of the school from Bradley Street. “Bradley Street at Fourth Avenue will be coned off to incoming traffic,” Koball said. “After the busses drop off they will be heading down Fourth and turning left up Main Street instead of Johnson Street. They will not be heading up Bradley Street anymore. School Board President Peggy Moore said the congestion of parents and busses dropping off on Fourth Avenue was not the safest way to get the students to class. “You would just see kids darting across the road through cars,” Moore stated. “This is going to be much safer, which is the goal of all of this.” Koball and Moore said there would be plenty of staff outside helping parents and students figure out where they need to go and how to get there. Koball also said the new parking lot should be

St. Croix Casinos’ 23rd Annual Turtle Cup Raises $5,000 for the ADA FREDERIC—The St. Croix Casinos’ annual Turtle Cup is a long, straight drive down the fairway in the fight against diabetes. This year’s Turtle Cup, held at Frederic Golf Course in Frederic on Wednesday, Aug. 22, carried on the tradition set over the past 22 years, raising $5,000 for the American Diabetes Association. Twenty-eight teams participated in this year’s Turtle Cup. Finishing first with a score of 54 was the WJMC/ WAQE/FOX team, and taking second place with a score of 59 was the FSA Advisors team. The third-place team was the St. Croix Tribal Housing Team #3. Perennial last-place finishers, Impressive Print, failed to extend its record of futility this year.

Finishing dead last for this Turtle Cup was the Gaming Capital Group 2 team with a score of seven over par. But the real winner for the day was the ADA. Casinos General Manager Drew Skeen presented the Turtle Cup’s $5,000 donation to Susan Klimek, executive director of the ADA Minnesota/North Dakota and Wisconsin Affiliate. “I’m again honored to be here today to accept your most generous donation,” Ms. Klimek said. “Diabetes is at epidemic levels, with just over 30 million Americans with diagnosed diabetes and American Indians two times more likely to be affected. “In saying that, your contributions continue to be extremely important,”

Klimek added. “In fact, since 1952, the ADA has invested more than $735 million in research to support more than 4,500 projects exploring all types of diabetes and better treatments for those living with diabetes. Again, thank you for your amazing support as we work together to defeat this disease.” The Turtle Cup is an invitation-only event: St. Croix Casinos vendors are invited to golf, sponsor a hole, donate prizes for the golf outing’s fund-raising raffle or underwrite costs for the awards dinner. Over its 23-year history, the Turtle Cup has raised more than $118,000 for the ADA.

Wisconsin dairy farmers may beneﬁt from new federal program MADISON—A new federal crop insurance program may help Wisconsin dairy farmers protect against low milk prices. The American Farm Bureau Federation and its insurance company recently announced the Dairy Revenue Protection program, Wisconsin Public Radio reported. The program, which will be available starting in October, allows farmers to set a guaranteed revenue they want to make on a certain amount of milk. Farmers can receive an indemnity payment if their actual revenue doesn’t meet the set level. Insurance costs are determined by expected milk prices and market risk. “It allows the individual farmer to pick both the amounts of milk he wants to protect price on and the months in which that milk is produced,’’ said Jim Holte, president of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau. The program is modeled after existing federal crop insurance programs for corn, soybeans and other commodities each growing season, Holte said. But the program for milk is different because dairy is produced year-round. Farmers will be able to make changes daily, he said. The cost of coverage may not be affordable to farmers after nearly four years of low milk prices, Holte said. “As we return to a more normal pattern of milk prices, the futures prices will offer more opportunities to farmers to lock in a profitable level,’’ he said. The federal government will subsidize costs for farmers. But Holte still expects farmers to be hesitant to buy coverage. Farmers will face a learning curve in figuring out how to take advantage of the insurance with the changing markets, said Brian Gould, professor of agribusiness at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But he said the new program is a welcome change from existing safety net options for dairy, which calculate indemnity payments based on a profit margin between milk prices and input costs. “(Farmers) like a contract that you can count on, that is actually reflecting the type of market that you’re selling your milk into,’’ Gould said.

As another pool season ends, plans begin for next year LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Public Pool saw its final day of the season on Aug. 23. Pool Manager Sarah Covey is already looking back on a successful year and making plans for next year. “Everything I planned, I was able to carry out,” Covey said. “It was a challenge to learn the job, but I enjoyed it. The Village has been very gracious, and whenever I’ve talked to them about something, they’ve said, ‘let’s do it.’” For Covey, the first month of pool season was intense. “In June I felt like I lived here. By July, I could go camping with my family for the weekend. “I don’t know if I can praise my staff enough,” Covey continued. “They are wonderful kids. Many of them are returning lifeguards. They knew the lifeguard piece and helped me with that.” Even a state inspection brought tips and tricks, requiring Covey to draft a protocol on lifeguard staffing. The inspectors also gave her insight and thoughts on how to manage the expansion of concession offerings and the concession space. Covey says that high on her list of priorities for next year is to have her event plans set up earlier. “By the time I picked a day for (Boy Scout Day), other plans had already been made and we didn’t have any scouts come. I hope to have those days marked out by May next year to give people more notice.” Another area Covey want to improve on is promotion. “During Big Gust Days, we have open swim day and offer a discount on the season’s membership. I missed getting on the Big Gust flyer. But now I know for next year, and I have penciled in to work on it much earlier.” This year, Covey and the Grantsburg pool staff offered something for everyone. Water aerobics was a returning favorite among the adults. “It was a huge hit. We had two sessions, and we extended it out two weeks past our plan,” Covey said. “Many of those women came back and did lap swim. Next year, we will build on (adult exercise) and make it better.” New this year was a luau in July, complete with decorations, that kept the pool open until dark. “Luau

went great, everyone swam and took pictures,” Covey shared. “Not as busy as I would have liked, but it’s the first year. Next year, I want to utilize the sign in front of the school. I didn’t think about it until after the fact. ‘Oh, I could have had the luau on there.’” The pool also offered church days on Sundays. Faith Lutheran Church took advantage of the opportunity with a potluck in the pavilion, picnicking and swimming. The Grantsburg Public Library came over and did reading at the pool as well. There were also opportunities for pool-goers to swim with members of the high school volleyball and football teams. While the numbers are still being tallied, Covey is upbeat on the year’s performance. “I’ve heard great positive comments that we have been busier this year.” But she is already looking toward next summer, making plans to incorporate activities on a more rotating basis. One such activity is based on the popular escape room concept. Participants must solve a puzzle posed by a clue to advance to the next clue. Eventually, the last solution opens a lock to a treasure chest. “The book club came and read Hello, Universe, and Carissa Kammeyer brought a box from the school to do the hunt. I’d like to make that something we do monthly rather than just once per season,” Covey said. When asked if she’d be back next year, Covey gave a strong affirmative. “I had a great time even on the worst days; they were good days. Watching the kids come in and be excited to be at the pool made it for me. I love all those kids. “We have a lot of fun things to look forward to.” Keep up with the Grantsburg Pool’s news and events at Facebook.com/Grantsburgpool.

I apologize for the confusion on the time!

The dangers of alcohol are well known, yet still one-third of all traffic crashes involve drinking and driving. In Wisconsin, 143 people were killed and over 2,900 injured in alcohol related crashes. These deaths are so tragic but all of them were preventable. It was the driver’s choice to drive while under the influence which makes these crashes and not accidents. Law enforcement is out to stop these senseless deaths. In 2016, there were over 28,000 arrests and over 24,700 convictions for drinking and driving in Wisconsin. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Department reported 75 operating while intoxicated (OWI) arrests in 2016 (these numbers do not include the Wisconsin State Patrol or the local Police Department data). Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can be a decision you regret for the rest of your life. If you hurt or kill someone in a crash you can face serious charges such as, vehicular homicide causing great bodily harm and OWI causing injury. You could be facing jail or prison time, years of probation and a huge financial burden. Not to mention the guilt and embarrassment as you face your friends, family and the community. Driving under the influence can not only be deadly but expensive. A fine can range from $500$1,100s for the first offense. Other costs include, but aren’t limited to, towing, lost work time, higher insurance rates, court costs, fees for an attorney, and losing your driver’s license. The safest thing to do is to have a plan. Before you drink, designate a sober driver. If you will be drinking, give your car keys to a sober friend at the beginning of the evening and don’t ask for them back. If you are feeling the effects of the alcohol you drank, it is likely you are over the legal limit and should not drive. Rather than risking an OWI arrest, call a friend or family member for a ride.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

This week, HSBC would like to introduce you to a couple of soul mates who are ready for new adventures. Jack and Rose are two young adult cats that came into the shelter together as strays. Jack is the larger of the two,

Jack

a handsome boy with short orange and white coat. Rose is also orange and white although her orange is more feminine pastel tan. Both cats are short-haired with bright amber eyes. They may have come in as strays, but they clearly had a home at some point. Jack and Rose are house-trained and are very friendly kitties that enjoy attention. Both are good with other cats and kids. Jack and Rose now wish to find â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fureverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes and families to love them! They do not need to be adopted together, although you are welcome to do so! The next time you are out shopping, consider picking up something to donate to the shelter. HSBC is always in need of the basics, and you do not need to spend a lot to help. Current needs are: clumping cat litter, hand soap, dog biscuits, Panacur dewormer, paper towels, dish soap, colored two-pocket folders (no pictures or artwork on them), toilet paper, four square laundry baskets, and two water spray bottles. Any donations can be dropped off at the Midtown Rd. location during public hours.

Quilt Guild Fall Festival Show celebrates 28th year The colorful display of quilts at St. Joseph’s Church in Amery during Fall Festival is, extensive and varied, reflecting the personalities and interests of the members of the Apple River Quilt Guild. It also represents hours and hours of work, cutting, sewing, ironing, and finally, hanging the quilts for display. Why do they do it? Raffle quilt co-chairs Denise Hutter and Connie Ferris, reflected on their guild experiences as they finished up this year’s raffle quilt at their annual quilt retreat at Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp in January. “Socializing, camaraderie, creative activities,” said Ferris. “It gets me out in the community.” Both mentioned the feelings of accomplishment, as, like many quilters, they do many of their quilts to give away. “I feel like I’m giving back,” Ferris said. Working together, the guild members make comfort quilts for fire victims or others in need, Quilts of Valor for veterans and quilts for Habitat for Humanity families. Proceeds from an annual sale of quilted items at the show go to the Northwoods Homeless Shelter along with handmade pillowcases. So how did Denise and Connie get drafted to do the extra work to make the raffle quilt? “We volunteered!” Connie said. “We looked for ideas at the Minnesota Quilt Show” Denise added. They found a design they liked, the “cactus blossom” motif, took it home and created the design on Electric Quilter, a computer program that allows you to design your own quilt. Two other members of the guild, Deb Manlove from Spooner, and Chris Sagness of Star Prairie, along with Denise and Connie, shopped at Pins and Needles in St. Croix Falls for the fabric. This committee cut out the fabric and made packets for any member who wanted to

sew a block. “We wanted to make sure everyone could participate by making blocks,” Denise said. When guild members returned the finished blocks, the queen-sized quilt was assembled over several months of sewing at the monthly open sewing day at the Amery Community Center. “Our goal was to make a queen size quilt, 92 by 110 inches,” Denise said. The green, red and black log cabin variation is loosely based on a quilt featured in Front

Porch Quilts five years ago. It has 80 ten-inch blocks and about 1,000 pieces. Guild member and long-arm quilter Cindy Meservey finished the quilt with custom quilting to enhance the design. After the first prize quilt was done, the remaining fabrics were used to make the second and third prize. “We do try to use up scraps from the first prize quilt,” Denise said. “We plan on getting the quilt done by summer for display in the community” said Denise. “This is the main fund raiser for our guild. The proceeds from the show and raffle support speakers, workshops and supplies for charity projects. “So a planning process that began in April 2017, got members sewing by June 2017 and was completed by June 2018.” After 28 years, the Guild continues to provide its members with a supportive place for their “expensive and addicting hobby,” as Connie and Denise agreed. Raffle tickets for the quilts are on sale from guild members or at Bremer Bank in Amery where the quilt is on display. They will also be sold at the show Sept.15 and 16 with the drawing Monday, Sept. 17. The Apple River Quilt Guild meets monthly on the third Monday 7 p.m. at the First Lutheran Church Amery. Visitors and new members are welcome.

Sherstad Invite kicks off Cross Country season BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—What is cross country? Pirate coach Lisa McKinley may have said it best. “Cross country... the sport that challenges the individual to pursue their best and inspires those individuals to dedicate their effort to the betterment of the team. It is also a sport where coaches pursue the best for their athletes and the sport by supporting one another and encouraging all athletes and where spectators cheer and rally around each athlete’s effort no matter the team distinction. There is a true feeling of family that holds this sport together. Without these characteristics, our meet would have been very different. Thank you to those coaches and spectators who helped, we are grateful.” Last Thursday, Grantsburg hosted the Carlyle Sherstad Invitational Cross Country Meet and both the boys and girls team from Mound/Westonka came in first place. Grantsburg boys placed second with the girls coming in fifth. Webster boys came in fifth and the girls couldn’t field a complete team.

Heading into the second hill of the course, Webster’s Kerik Stubbe (393) was the lone Tiger amongst a pack of Pirates including Chase Doornink (287), Nate McKinley (296), Jared Lee (293), Brody Bongaarts (hidden), Sam Prusinski (297) and Joey Duncan (288).

Panthers edge past Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—“It was a really great, really well played football game,” exclaimed Dragon coach Ryan Karsten after the tough 6-0 loss

on Friday to the Prairie Farm Panthers. “Each team had turnovers. Each team had opportunities. Each team played around 10 guys and they left their hearts, blood, sweat and tears

on the field.” “As Coach Sargent once said, ‘It was a good old slobber-knocker … two teams running the ball and two teams knocking the crap out of it.’” Siren got the opening

kickoff, but lost the ball on an interception which was run back to inside the Dragon 10. The Dragon defense held and the Siren offense once again had a chance to move the ball. They were stopped by the Panther defense and forced to punt. The Dragon “D” also came on strong and made the Panthers punt and Siren began quarter two on their own 25. Both teams’ defenses held and the half ended scoreless at 0. The third quarter saw each offense on the field twice with both squads either punting or giving the other squad possession on downs. In the fourth period, the Panthers fumbled and Siren got the ball SEE DRAGONS ON PAGE 18

How many Panthers does it take to bring down Cordell Fischer?

“Grantsburg is a tough course and really tough if you haven’t logged many miles,” said Webster coach Roy Ward. “The hills just burn up your leg muscles. The high school boys started off the meet. We had five boys. Hunter (Erickson) proved to be ready for the season finishing third with a personal best time of 19:15. Edwin (Janssen) has improved quite a bit from last year. He ran his personal best time of 22:49. Also improving a bunch was Jamin (Wilson). He was our fifth runner with his best time of 27:12. We have a lot of work to do, but overall it was a good start to our racing season.” Grantsburg’s first runner to cross the line was Will Gerber in a time of 19:23.1 which was good for fourth place. Nate McKinley was seventh with Joey Duncan thirteenth. Brody Bongaarts, Jordan Janes, Jared Lee and Connor DeTienne were 18th, 22nd, 25th and 31st respectively. Mason Arnold, Sam Prusinski and Dawson Hennessey also finished the race. “Poor Jeni (Petersen) ran as the solo Tiger tonight,” continued Coach Ward. “I say poor because I chased her all over the course. That is tough to do SEE CC ON PAGE 19

Pirates open season at UW-Stout Sprawl BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

MENOMONIE—“There were 40 teams at the Menomonie sprawl this year,” reports Volleyball Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson of the Pirates. “After a day of pool play, teams were divided into five different divisions of eight teams each. We had a good first day, losing only to a tough River Valley team in the third set tie-breaker, so we were placed in silver division with many strong D1 and D2 schools, among the top 16 teams.” The Pirates defeated Mondovi (25-11, 25-14) and also beat Medford (25-20, 23-25, 15-5). The scores from the River Valley contest were 20-25, 25-15 and 11-15. “Unfortunately, we played less crisply the second day and lost to a couple of bigger schools with dominant

hitters.” The Pirates beat Cameron on day two 25-11, 25-21, but lost to Ellsworth (21-25, 19-25) and to Eau Claire Memorial (18-25, 23-25). “We really enjoy The Sprawl for the team togetherness, high level competition, and pre-season preparation. This is my sixth year bringing teams to this tournament, and I believe it is the first time I did not get frustrated or upset with our play. Sure, we had some lack of focus moments and made a few foolish errors (myself included), but overall the attitude and effort were outstanding.” “With hard work and determination, this team has potential. They are very solidly skilled and deep.” The Pirates will have hosted Webster on Tuesday and will be off until next Tuesday (Sept. 4) when they travel to Luck to take on the Cardinals.

Pirates shut down Hurricanes BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates tallied their second win of the season in a 35-8 nonconference win over a tough Hayward Hurricanes squad. “Hayward is a big and physical team, so I was pleased that our kids stepped up to the challenge,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. The Hurricanes received the opening kick-off and sent their offense onto the gridiron and methodically made their way down the field. The Pirate defense stood strong on a fourth and short play, and took over on downs. The Pirates got on the scoreboard first from 25 yards out on a screen pass from Luke Anderson to Leo Chenal who ran the edge to the end zone for the first of his four touchdowns on the night. The point after by Jared VanWatermuelen was good to give the Pirates a 7-0 lead with 5:58 to go in the first. The ‘Canes answered with a score of their own off a 10-yard run by Nate Sorenson. The two-point conversion was good to give them the 8-7 edge over Grantsburg. Leo Chenal got his second touchdown of the game on a 10-yard run midway through the second quarter. On the two-point conversion attempt, the linemen cleared a hole for Chenal as he walked into the end zone untouched to make it a 15-8 contest. On Hayward’s next offensive series, Leo Chenal picked off a pass and returned it to the 30-yard line to put the Pirates back on offense with 2:58 left in

the half. Four plays later he twists and turns his way into the end zone from 23 yards out for another score. The PAT was blocked, but the Pirates had a 21-8 lead. “It was obviously great having Leo back and he made his presence felt on both sides of the ball and had a number of highlight reel runs,” Coach Hale said. In the second half, the Pirates added 14 points while holding Hayward scoreless as the Pirate defense continued to shut down the ‘Canes. Midway through the third quarter, a bobbled snap on a Hayward punt was recovered by the Pirates at the 18 yard line. Unfortunately, they were unable

on the Panther 20. They got down to the six-yard line where the possession failed to go any further. The Dragons attempted a field goal, but the kick was wide and the Panthers assumed possession. On the second play from scrimmage, Panther Dustin Harren received a toss of the football from his running back who had headed to the far side on a running play. Harren threw the ball downfield to Jarek Nelson who

ran the rest of the way to pay-dirt. The two point conversion failed, but in a tight contest like this one, the 6-0 lead by Prairie Farm was huge. With a little over three minutes remaining, there was still time for the Dragons to knot the score and possibly win. Siren fumbled and lost the ball on the first play from scrimmage. The Dragon defense held and Prairie Farm punted. With 1:17 remaining, Siren took over on their own 21.

Senior Derek Highstrom dodges the Prairie Farm defense as he makes his way down the ﬁeld early into the game on Friday night.

A Jordan Webster to Tanner Buck pass moved the line of scrimmage to the Siren 44. Two plays later, on a third down play, a good pass was muffed by a Siren receiver who was in Prairie Farm territory. With a fourth and nine situation, another good pass was mishandled and the Panthers took over on downs, and ran out the clock for the win. “We probably out-gained them (on offense),” said the coach, “but it came down to one play to win.” “We’ve probably got to win six or seven games to get into the playoffs, but I’m proud of my guys. They really played well.” “Looking at the conference,” concluded Coach Karsten, “we’ve got to beat Northwood to be conference champs, so our focus this week will be on Northwood.”

to take advantage of this turnover and gave the ball back to the Hurricanes on downs. “We shot ourselves in the foot in the third quarter and need to do a better job of executing in situations,” the coach noted. Once again the Pirate defense stood strong, and forced a fumble as Bryce Roufs ripped the ball from a running back’s arms to put his squad back on offense with just over a minute left in the third quarter. Three plays later, Anderson rolled to his left and threw a perfect pass to Gabe Chenal in the corner of the end zone for the score. The PAT was good, making it a 28-8 game at the end of the third quarter.

Again, the Hurricanes methodically made their way down the field, but again, the Pirate defense stood strong and took over on downs with just over six minutes left in the game. On the very next play, Leo Chenal took it 70 yards for the final score of the game. The PAT by VanWatermuelen was good to end the scoring at 35-8. Leo Chenal led the Pirate offense with 169 rushing yards on 10 carries, along with 42 receiving yards. Isaac Quimby had 21 rushing yards on two attempts. Roufs was steady again with 17 rushing yards to go along with 13 receiving. David Nelson also had 17 rushing yards. Simon Bunting and Matt Kottke each had four yards. Gabe Chenal had two catches for 19 yards and David MacKean had a 10 yard catch. Quarterback Luke Anderson was good for 8 of 12 for 84 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, it was Leo Chenal leading the charge with 14 solo tackles to go along with seven assists. Roufs was next with eight solos and four assists followed by Gabe Chenal with five solos and six assists, and Tanner Berger with six solos and two assists. “Bryce Roufs, Tanner Berger and Gabe Chenal also had good nights on defense while our offensive line continues to improve,” Hale added. “Coach Lehne has done a great job with that group and it’s crucial they stay healthy and keep getting better.” The Pirates will head to Elmwood/ Plum City this Friday night. Game time is 7 p.m.

quarters were silent by both squads. In the final period, the Lakers put two more on the boards on two runs of 21 and three yards respectively. Offensively, quarterback Matt Buffington was 6 for 16 with one interception. Carter Doriott led the team in rushing with 17 carries for 34 yards. Wyatt Schaaf ran nine times for two yards. Brad Sigfrids caught three passes for 42 yards. Doriott, Keith Glienke and Tanner Pardun each had a pass reception for 43, six and nine yards respectively. Defensively, Glienke had eight solo tackles with an assist. Dalton McCarthy had six solos and an assist with Tanner Pardun making five solo tackles and four assists in the game. Said the coach, “Offensively we need to play together and be more disciplined. Turtle Lake is a nice team and we were able to find out where we are at and what we need to do to improve before we take the field Friday against a 2-0 Pepin-Alma team.” Webster travels to Pepin on Friday for a 7 p.m. contest with Pepin-Alma.

Find a Living Well program near you! GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

ADRC OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN

Open Enrollment, ready or not, here we come! With Medicare Open Enrollment quickly approaching (Oct. 15 - Dec. 7), the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin (ADRC of NW WI) is available to assist you throughout Open Enrollment season with all of your Medicare Part D and health plan needs. Because Open Enrollment is a very busy time, we wanted to let you know how appointments are scheduled at the resource center. To ensure we are able to schedule and assist as many consumers as possible, we have put a few steps in place when scheduling appointments. SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT: If you have met with a Benefit Specialist at ADRC of NW WI in previous years, you will be receiving a letter and an Open Enrollment form in the mail within the next few weeks. If you have not previously met with a Benefit Specialist during Open Enrollment and are interested in reviewing your Part D plan, please call 1-877-485-2372 and an Open Enrollment form will be mailed out to you. Once you have filled out the Open Enrollment form, return it to the ADRC of NW WI and an appointment will be scheduled.

Forms can be returned to: ADRC of NW WI; 100 Polk County Plaza, #60; Balsam Lake, WI 54810. This form is used for both Siren and Balsam Lake offices and you will be scheduled with the Benefit Specialist within your county. Once your form has been received, we will contact you to schedule your appointment with a Benefit Specialist. THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT: For your appointment please bring your Medicare ID Card, Part D Card, and health insurance card. Appointments usually last about 30 - 45 minutes. During your appointment a Benefit Specialist will review the top Part D plans and can assist with enrolling into a new Part D plan if you elect to do so. Benefit Specialists are also available to do a benefits check-up with you during your appointment. During a benefits checkup, a Benefit Specialist will review benefits available and discuss eligibility. If you are interested in a benefits checkup, please fill out the income and asset information on the back page of the Open Enrollment form. If you are not interested simply leave this section blank. A benefits checkup is completely optional!

HELPFUL TIPS: • Fill out the Medicare Open Enrollment Screen form as complete and accurate as possible. • All prescriptions should be listed on form. This helps us have the most accurate results when looking at plans. Printed list of prescriptions from the computer or pharmacy are also accepted. • Don’t wait! Appointments fill up quickly so please turn in your completed form as soon as you can. • Arrive on time (or early) to your appointment. • Spouses need to fill out two forms, one for each spouse. Couples can be scheduled together for appointment. One more thing you can do in preparation for open enrollment is attend a Medicare 101: The A, B, C, and D’s of Medicare presentation to get a refresher on the details of your Medicare health coverage. Please RSVP to 715-472-2161 by Oct. 1. See below for upcoming presentations: • Wednesday, Sept. 19, 6 - 8 p.m., Burnett County Government Center, Room 165 • Monday, Oct. 8, 5:30 - 8 p.m., Luck Senior Center; dinner will be provided compliments of Frandsen Bank and Trust. Our Benefits Specialists look forward to seeing you during Open Enrollment! If you have any questions- call ADRC of NW WI at 1-877-485-2372.

Living Well is a six-week evidence-based program for those with chronic health conditions (anything that affects a person’s health on a chronic basis). The program is led by a peer leader, and meets once a week for two and a half hours per session. The interactive group is made up of people with a variety of chronic conditions, but it has been found that they can still give each other tips about their similar symptoms. Group members learn about things such as pain and fatigue management, stress management, healthy eating, exercise, problem-solving, and setting goals. The program is very empowering for the 8 to 20 group members because they learn about how to manage their life on a daily basis instead of relying on clinical care. In fact, those who join the program have been shown to visit the emergency room less and have a better quality of life. To find a Living Well group near you, visit the www.adrcnwwi.org or wihealthyaging.org/workshops. Becoming a leader requires a four-day training process. Those who are interested in becoming a leader can contact Carrie Myers at the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin at 877-485-2372 or Jill Renken at jill.renken@ wihealthyaging.org.

Drug company coupons and assistance programs THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

These days, a common way for people to pay for costly prescription drugs is to utilize drug manufacturers’ coupons and assistance programs. For many individuals, this may be the only way to access expensive cancer, anti-rejection, and HIV drugs, among others. In addition, these benefits are valuable when the prescribing doctor believes the brand name drug will work better than the generic version, but the brand name drug is too expensive under the person’s current health plan. The first thing to consider is whether the drug manufacturer offers a discount for your particular prescription. For drug coupons, you need to contact the manufacturer directly. For assistance programs, you can use www.needymeds.org or Medicare’s searchable list of drugs at https:// www.medicare.gov/pharmaceutical- assistance-program. Here, you can click on the first letter of the drug’s name to see if any programs are available for the drugs you are taking. If your drug is on the list, you can then click on “details” for detailed information about the program. You may learn that you need to prove that you are at a certain stage in your disease,

or that you have a financial need to be eligible for the assistance program. As with any benefit, there are cautions. One thing to understand is that the drug coupons and assistance programs are just that – discounts that can be offered and taken away at any time. This means a person using a drug manufacturer’s coupon or assistance program must have a back-up plan if the benefit expires or is discontinued. It is common for benefits to be available for one year only. Drug coupons and assistance programs do not count as creditable coverage for Medicare Part D. That means late-enrollment penalties will accumulate if a person is not enrolled in creditable drug coverage. There is also the issue of using coupons while receiving Medicaid, TRICARE, or a Medicare Part D plan. Currently, CMS prohibits drug manufacturers from offering coupons for drugs paid for by a Federal health plan – of which Medicaid, TRICARE, and Medicare apply. This does not mean that you can’t ask for and use a manufacturer’s discount, but it does mean that the manufacturer cannot try to persuade you to use the coupon

NETRO CREATIVE

or assistance program if it knows you receive health benefits from Medicaid, TRICARE, or Medicare Part D. A final caution is that if you have Medicare Part D plan and are also using a manufacturer’s discount, you will need to notify your pharmacy so it knows to apply the discount first, and bill Medicare second. If you do not notify your pharmacy, it is required to automatically bill your Medicare Part D plan.

The battle against loneliness is staying connected SARAH ELIZABETH ADLER, AARP

When it comes to your health, loneliness may be as bad as smoking and worse than obesity. That’s the conclusion from the journal PLOS Medicine of nearly 150 studies on social relationships and mortality. Researchers also found that people with stronger social relationships had a 50 percent increased likelihood of survival than those whose relationships were weaker, meaning that maintaining a social life isn’t just good fun — it’s good for you. Earlier this month, we asked readers to share how they stay connected. Here’s what they had to say. For some, strong social connections start at home. “I look forward to every other weekend,” wrote Kathy Brodock. That’s because she spends this time with her grown children and granddaughters. For grandparents and grandkids in particular, the benefits of quality family time go both ways. Studies show that grandparents who help babysit live longer, while children whose grandparents are involved in their upbringing report greater levels of well-being. For others, new activities were the key to making connections. “I retired

at 58 ten years ago filled with anxiety and depression,” wrote Chuck Fink. “I started a men’s group based on open personal disclosure and social networking.” Now, he said, there are 15 groups in his city. Many readers said that volunteering helped them get involved. Ramona Kemberling fosters kittens for her local animal shelter and volunteers at their fundraisers, while Tony Triche volunteers part time doing homeless outreach. Research shows that those who spend time serving and supporting others experience significant benefits to their physical and mental health — and starting small can make a big impact. Just two hours of volunteering a week are all that’s needed to have a positive effect on your life and health. Some activities, like exercise, offer the chance to bond with people with like-minded interests in addition to the health benefits. “When I cut way back on my work schedule, I started attending the Silver Sneakers exercise classes offered in my area,” wrote Carol Cochran. “Class members range in age from 55 to 90. Everyone works at their own pace. Made lots of interesting new friends.” Marcia Sherman’s experience was equally beneficial. “I joined the Y

senior aquatics group,” she wrote. “I’ve made new friends. Six of us went on a cruise together in April.” Exercising your brain — whether through classes, clubs or other forms of learning — has similar upsides. Gloria Miles wrote that she’s an “avid reader” who remains active largely through her church, where she’s a book club member and teaches Sunday school. She also attends classes geared toward those 50 and up at a community college. According to the American Association of Community Colleges, she’s in good company. It estimates that 10 percent of community-college students are 40 or older. Connections don’t have to happen face to face to count, either. For many readers, social media is a way to stay in touch with friends and loved ones. “I appreciate how Facebook has enabled me to reconnect (or stay connected) with so many people from my past,” wrote Kevin Carroll. “I live in Northern California, but my friends (not virtual) live in Jamaica, Japan, the Bahamas, Ireland, the Philippines, and in all corners of the USA.” For those who want to improve their skills, technology training classes can provide the tools to start connecting digitally. You don’t have to wait to feel the

effects of loneliness to take action. For Chris Knoblaugh, being proactive was key. “I saw how isolated my mom became,” he wrote. So, in anticipation of retirement, he joined clubs, connected with old colleagues, and started taking online classes. “I will be retiring in three years,” he wrote, “but should be in good shape for that.” Experts agree that planning for retirement means more than managing your finances. It’s a process that should also take into account the connections you want to cultivate going forward. Tom Sightings, author of You Only Retire Once, calls companionship one of the four horsemen of retirement. “If you’re going to ride on to enjoy retirement in paradise,” he writes, your companionship needs must be “considered and conquered.” To keep your social connections strong, take a two-part approach: Nurture existing relationships and hobbies while seeking out new activities and ways to connect. “I think the key to connection is looking for the great things life has to offer,” wrote Sue Stephens. “A positive outlook goes a long way in staying connected.”

Guide to caregiving while continuing to work AARP. ORG

Six out of tenAmericans are taking care of a loved one age 50 or older. A great many are doing it while also trying to earn a living. If you’re among those doing both, here’s help. HUMAN RESOURCES • Ask your HR rep about company policies and programs to support caregivers. Many companies have a plan in place to help employees find community services, counseling, respite care, legal and financial assistance, and caregiver support groups. Others offer caregiving leave or flexible work arrangements. • Some employers may not have a policy for employees who are also

NETRO CREATIVE

caregivers, but they may be open to the idea. AARP and Northeast Business Group on Health have developed a toolkit to help employers support their working caregivers. • Employee assistance or your loved one’s insurance carrier might cover visits with a therapist specializing in caretaking or family issues. Sometimes one small thing can be a big help. • Be prepared: Even within the same company, different managers may be more or less supportive. TALK TO YOUR MANAGER If you work for a small company with no HR department, make an appointment with your boss. Be upfront about your caregiving responsibilities from the start. Most bosses value good employees and will work to keep them. • Don’t go in with the idea that there is a single answer present solution that won’t cost the company money or time. • Flex time and telecommuting are accepted practices in many offices. • Employers may be more likely to agree if you suggest a trial period that could be continued if successful. • Be ready to compromise. A flexible schedule might not be possible, but your company may be willing to change your schedule, let you work from home one day a week, or pay for respite care when you travel for work. • If your supervisor lets you work from home, make sure you are always accessible by phone and email. Respond quickly. • Attend meetings from home by conference call or Skype. If Skyping, find a quiet room where you won’t be interrupted, and dress as you would at the office. • Check in regularly to make sure the

arrangement is working for all sides. FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT (FMLA) Under the Family and Medical Leave Act, eligible workers are entitled to unpaid leave for up to 12 weeks per year without losing job security or health benefits, to care for a spouse, child or parent who has a serious health condition. • Companies that employ fewer than 50 people are exempt from FMLA. • To qualify, you must have worked for the company for at least 1,250 hours in the last 12 months. Check with your HR department to see if you qualify. The company is required by law to tell you your rights under FMLA and, if you qualify, offer you leave. Employers may not threaten you or make your work life difficult because you requested a leave. • You may take the 12 weeks of leave all at once or in pieces — for example, three days twice a month when a parent is receiving chemotherapy. When your leave is up, you must return to work to protect your job. • Under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), employees taking time off to care for a disabled parent or spouse are entitled to the same treatment as coworkers who take time off to care for disabled children. • The ADA also gives you protection if you lose your job or are harassed. • Some states have laws similar, but not identical, to the federal FMLA. They may provide different benefits. If no law applies, your employer is not required to give you time off or make any accommodations.

local caregiving community. An adult day care program is good for socialization and structure, and has activities designed to maintain or strengthen skills. It may help you to talk to others who are facing the same issues. You also may be able to find people with whom you can have a mutual backup agreement or share a part-time caregiver. PLAN APPOINTMENTS Minimize the time you take away from your job. Schedule your loved one’s doctor and therapy appointments early in the morning or at the end of the day. DON’T ABUSE WORK TIME If you have to check in with your loved one, make doctor appointments or do related research, do it during your lunch break. STAY ORGANIZED Manage your time efficiently. Set priorities. Tackle the most important items first. When you are stretched between two obligations, it’s easy to forget something. • Keep focused by using two to-do lists – one for caregiving and one for work. • Put obligations for both caregiving and work on a single calendar. • Delegate at work and at home. SHOW APPRECIATION Assume your coworkers may be pitching in to assist with the workload when you’re not in the office. Thank them now, and –when you are able – volunteer to help colleagues who are facing similar situations.

ADRC Annual Volunteer Recognition ADRC OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN

Even though April is technically volunteer appreciate month, we at the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin (ADRC of NW WI) celebrate, recognize and thank our volunteers every year around this time with a volunteer appreciate picnic/ event. This year’s picnic took place at the Crooked Lake Park in Siren on Thursday, Aug. 9. We ate a wonderful meal, played some bingo, and had a lot of fun. We can’t express how important our volunteers are to the success of many of our programs—in fact some of those programs would not be possible without them! How much did our volunteers do in 2017? Our medical transportation volunteer drivers helped 157 people get to approximately 1,200 medical appointments donating 4,218 hours of their time and driving over 106,963 miles. Our home delivered meals drivers delivered 17,472 meals to 113 older adults

who are no longer able to prepare their meals and/or get to the grocery store to purchase food. Our volunteers who help get this monthly newsletter out to all of our readers, bundled and distributed over 41,000 copies of The Voice. These hours and miles don’t even include the work that many other volunteers do and contribute to our programs—volunteers who help provide our healthy aging workshops, volunteers who help at congregate meals sites, and volunteers who help in others ways behind the scenes that we may not even know about! We don’t say it often enough but thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of our ADRC of NW WI volunteers! Many lives are immensely improved because of all that you do for them! You are true superheroes in our eyes! Volunteers are: Frank Adams, Brad Alden, Wallace Andren, Kenneth Aubart, Caroline Barton, Judy Bauerfeld, Fred Bauerfeld, Gladys Beers, Stuart Bengtson, Carol Berglind, Bill Ber-

Looking for something more?

Pastor Emory L. Johnson NEW HOPE LUTHERAN CHURCH

While I was attending seminary, my neighbor stopped me one day and asked if we could talk. Except for greeting one another in passing, we had never stopped to visit. He said to me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been watching you for two years, and you have something that I do not have. I have only seen it in one other person and I have been looking for it all my life. What do you have that I do not have and that I am looking for?â&#x20AC;? As we sat down in front of his open garage door I told him about my faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He listened, asked questions, and after a couple hours he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that works for you but I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it.â&#x20AC;? We never talked again

except for simply greeting one another in passing. Two years later, he became very ill and entered a V.A. Hospital. The R.N.in charge of his floor was my former college roommate. Since the R.N. knew what city his patient was from, he asked him if he knew me and was surprised to find that I had been his next-door neighbor. As they began to talk about me, my neighbor told him of the talk that we had about faith in Jesus Christ. During his recovery in the hospital, those two had many talks about Jesus and before he left the hospital my former neighbor accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. My neighbor finally found what he had seen

in me and what he had been looking for all his life. You see, God created us with a need to know God, a need that only God can fill. People try to fill this need with many things: education, position, possessions, money, alcohol, drugs, running around, etc. Some of these things are positive and some are negative. But nothing can fill the deep longing that God has put in our hearts for Him, except God Himself. If you are looking for something more in life, look to God. Ask Jesus to make Himself known to you. Seek Him and you will find the Lord Jesus and the meaning in life for which you are searching. Jeremiah 29:12-13
