Multiple high-speed chases in county

Probation violation leads to jail time

SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT/POLK—Two vehicles driving at high speeds on two separate days sent Burnett, Polk, and Pine County officials in hot pursuit last week. The first occurred mid-afternoon on Aug. 22. Burnett and Pine County Deputies and Mille Lacs Tribal police were in pursuit of a suspect in a stolen vehicle fleeing law enforcement heading eastbound on Highway 77 into the Danbury area. The suspect, later identified as Blake R. Vosburg, 26, Hopkins, abandoned the vehicle on Glendenning Road at the Yellow River bridge. The suspect then jumped into the river in an attempt to avoid arrest. Burnett County deputies were able to incline Vosburg to exit the water at the landing near East Yellow River Road. He was arrested without further incident and escorted to the Burnett County Jail and later transferred to the Pine County Jail.

GOVERNMENT CENTER—A Grantsburg man is behind bars for nine months after violating probation stipulations and now faces additional felony charges. Aaron L. Simmons, 56, was found guilty on July 20 of battery and placed on two years probation with a nine-month stayed jail sentence after a physical encounter with a family member at the family’s residence on Gile Road in West Marshland on Dec. Simmons 6, 2016. As part of probation, the court ruled Simmons have no contact with the victim unless agreed to by the victim and the probation agent. In addition, no contact with his children or presence at the Gile Road residence.

GRANTSBURG—“Our whole house shook – the walls, the floors, the windows,” the man said. “The blast sounded big and serious. I called 9-1-1 and reported the explosion. I told them it sounded like it came from south and east of our house. We had no idea what exploded, but it was loud and scary.” The man, who asked to remain anonymous, called Burnett County 9-1-1 Dispatch Center about 3:30 p.m. Saturday. It was one of several calls the center received. A county sheriff deputy also reported hearing a boom at his home north of Falun, perhaps 10 miles away. Shortly after the first, some reports said another explosion was set from the same location. Law enforcement later found the blast(s) came from a house a couple miles south of Grantsburg. The deputy was told it was part of a wedding celebration. According to informal reports from county law enforcement, a person exploded container(s) of Tannerite® or similar explosive of unknown size and quantity. Tannerite® is the brand name of a powdered product that is legally sold in the United States. Another person said the Saturday explosion(s) were set off when a bucket containing explosive was hit by a high-powered rifle to trigger it. According to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, “Tannerite® detonations occur when hit at a very high velocity, producing a large explosion and cloud.” Tannerite is sold in pre-sized quantities for target practice, avalanche control and police use. Tannerite® consists of two components: a fuel mixed with a catalyst or sensitizer, and a bulk material or oxidizer. It is not volatile until the chemicals are mixed and detonated. Low-speed or low-force impacts will not cause it to explode. Tannerite® is marketed as a target designator that is useful for long-range target practice: the shooter does not need to walk down-range to see if the target has been hit, as the Tannerite will detonate and serve as a highly-visible indicator. Tannerite is also used for dramatic effect to provide explosions in weaponry demonstrations or other events, apparently including weddings. No citations were issued Saturday because the product is legal and it was detonated with permission on private party, although a good case could be made for a charge of disturbing the peace. The law officer sent to the scene told the party to notify the sheriff’s office ahead of time before setting off more explosions. The internet has reports of persons injured or killed by flying debris following a Tannerite explosion.

Siren School Board awaits state budget, celebrates accomplishments

SIREN— “We follow a strict budget calendar that is recommended by the state of Wisconsin,” said Siren Superintendent Dr. Kevin Shetler in his opening remarks concerning the financial fate of the upcoming school year. Without the passage of Governor Walker’s budget, school districts are unsure of the amount of funding available to them for the 2017-18 school year. The Governor hopes to sign the budget into existence no later than Sept. 22. However, for the public school system, this date is a few weeks late. Because of this, many schools, including Siren, look to short-term borrowing in order to pay employees and fund the normal early workings of their districts. “We know there is going to be money. We just don’t how much,” said Dr. Shetler. He added, “The important thing is to know that we don’t function like a normal business. We don’t increase sales, but we increase enrollment. We are at the mercy of the State when disbursements come and how much we get in terms of each pupil. The numbers that we have from year to year change.” After the meeting it was discovered Governor Walker released a statement following a vote by the Wisconsin State Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee which approved a $639 million increase in support for all of Wisconsin’s K-12 schools. However, even with this number made available, it

will not be until the passage of the state budget that school districts will know specifics for individual schools. In happier Dragon news, last school year’s Siren Publications class was awarded the Jotsens’ National Program of Excellence Award for the third consecutive year. Ms. Peterson’s class consisted of six students. According to middle and high school Associate Principal Darrell Imboff who presented this information to the school board last Monday night, “[the awards] are presented for achieving the defined criteria in each of the three following categories: creating an inclusive yearbook, generating school engagement, and successfully managing the yearbook creation process.” And, as reported in last week’s paper, Siren was honored by the Wisconsin Response to Intervention (RtI) Center’s Recognized Schools Program. Siren Elementary, Middle and High School are being recognized by the Wisconsin RtI Center with a bronze level award for their specific efforts in behavior. The elementary school also received a bronze level award for their framework in reading. To earn this level of achievement, schools must meet specific criteria that can be found on the Wisconsin RtI Center website. Siren schools have also seen an increase in student enrollment this year with 150 high school students and 115 in the middle school for a total of 265 students. According to Imboff, this is an increase of 16 students from last year.

GRANTSBURG—A day after being notified their dog needed to be quarantined after an alleged biting incident, owners of that dog returned home to find their dog dead on the front porch. Kim Hoelter arrived home at 7 p.m. on June 23 to find Tatum, the family’s 15-month-old Great Pyrenees dead on the front porch. “The dog was lying on its stomach. There were spots of dried blood on the deck near the dog and several spots of blood on the siding of the house to the left of the door,” Hoelter told officials later that evening. On June 27, a Burnett County law enforcement official delivered the dog’s body to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for an autopsy. While doctors could not without question determine the cause of death, the autopsy report states, “The injuries on the dog’s left body wall and upper back are most consistent with acute blunt force trauma.” The 92.5-pound dog suffered three fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, multiple bruises and cuts. The report states, “the infliction of these injuries caused suffering.” “We don’t know who did this. We’ve never been through this type of heartSteve Hoelter break,” said Steve Hoelter, Dog owner Kim’s husband. One day before the dog’s death, Burnett County Health and Human Services notified the Hoelters stating the dog must be quarantined due to an incident on June 19 when the dog is reported to have bitten an adult riding a bicycle past the house. According to Steve Hoelter, this was the first time Tatum ever acted in an aggressive manner. The dog had no prior record. He added “The scariest part is the fact of the act. We can’t believe this level of violence can happen in our community where there are so many children.” The Hoelters posted signs around Grantsburg offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible. Persons with any information are encouraged to call Detective Julie Mead of the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department at 715-479-5635.

‘We can’t believe this level of violence can happen in our community.’

Wisconsin AG appoints meth prosecutor MADISON—Attorney General Brad Schimel said he will appoint an assistant attorney general to assist local district attorneys and law enforcement in the prosecution of methamphetamine-related cases. Last February, Schimel briefed the Wisconsin State Legislature on the growing threat of methamphetamines and included findings from a January joint Wisconsin Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation study. The report details methamphetamine use increased 250 to 300 percent from 2011 to 2015. “I have hosted listening sessions over the past 12 months with local law enforcement and community leaders in many of Wisconsin’s 72 counties. There is no doubt meth use is one of the state’s biggest threats, particularly in the northwestern part of the state,” said Schimel. “The vast majority of methamphetamine is not being produced in ‘one pot’ labs in people’s homes, garages, and sheds, but in Mexico, which makes our efforts to put drug traffickers behind bars more important. I’m

confident the methamphetamine prosecutor, working alongside our DCI agents and local law enforcement, will have an immediate, positive impact on meth trafficking, prosecutions and help reduce some of the burden our resource-strapped counties are experiencing.” Recently, the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory Bureau (WSCLB) has experienced a 13.5 percent increase in methamphetamine submissions, from 1,012 in 2015 to 1,149 in 2016. There is also anecdotal evidence that some opiate addicts are switching from the use of prescription drugs and heroin to methamphetamine. “Northwestern Wisconsin is ‘ground zero’ for methamphetamine use,” said Eau Claire County Sheriff Ron Cramer. “I appreciate AG Schimel’s leadership and willingness to assist local law enforcement with this urgent and dangerous threat that is ruining countless lives in our communities.” Attorney General Schimel announced that the new assistant attorney general will be located in Eau Claire and work in the Division of Criminal Investigation’s (DCI) Eau Claire field office. Basing them out of this

office will allow them to respond quickly and effectively to cases throughout the northwest part of the state involving methamphetamine trafficking and to work proactively with both DCI criminal agents and outside law enforcement agencies. The new methamphetamine assistant attorney general will represent the state in criminal cases; advise local prosecutors on matters relating to methamphetamine trafficking; and assist in the development of legislation concerning the growing threat that methamphetamine poses to local communities. The AG has taken the following steps to combat drug abuse: • Attorney General Schimel hired an analyst at the Wisconsin Statewide Information Center (WSIC) and purchased equipment for investigating meth labs; and is providing training and financial support for the efforts of local law enforcement agencies and multi-jurisdictional drug task forces.

Narrative 4 This week I just want to introduce something. The concept is not new nor is it uncommon. It is critical and able to soften, and humanize any person who engages— it can melt borders. The story exchange. Towards the end of my time in graduate school in Ireland, I was invited to “work” temporarily with a non-profit called Narrative 4. This group’s mission: Narrative 4 builds a community of empathic global citizens who improve the world through the exchange of personal narratives. You sit with another human, tell a pivotal story about yourself and, in turn, they do the same. However, the next part is the most important. After the telling of both stories, the two people then gather in a group of other pairings. Then, you become the other person. Before the group you sit and tell your new friend’s story as if you are them, you Sentinel embody that person, soak up and breathe their emotion. Editor It’s about empathy. Sean Devlin The group started in New York under by the collaborative efforts of Lisa Consiglio and bestselling Irish author, Colum McCann. The idea has flourished and now numerous teachers in the U.S., Ireland, England, Israel, Mexico, and other countries bring this idea into the classroom in order to show children how empathy can change the world. We’ve all heard the word, spoken it. But how often do we practice and spend time considering the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of others? I won’t tell too much about my experience with Narrative 4 yet, but I will say that during my time with them, my chest was dug into, mined for every bit of empathy I didn’t know I was capable of producing. In the current tense, defensively charged climate, what better time to engage in storytelling? Think about the amount of arguments you’ve had about politics recently, or arguments you’ve imagined (and of course, won). Now, rather than arguing with a person, a person you decide you no longer care for, replace the conversation with the practice of Narrative 4. There is a reason we all feel the way we do about politics, social issues, and every hot-button topic out there. One reason is because each person is an individual who has lived a life unique to themselves. Personal experiences shape our world views. Storytelling can offer you a lot about a person, and it promotes conversation, discussion and hopefully, in the end, understanding and a learning experience. This idea is not liberal or conservative...American or belonging to any other nationality. Storytelling, listening and communication are universal. If you want to check out more about Narrative 4 before the next column, visit https://narrative4.com/. And, as always, if you want to share a story with me, you know where to find me, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com, 715-463-2341. “Every story has a place, even the stories we don’t like,” Colum McCann .

It gets my vote What if the Russians meddled in our political system, influencing the outcome of a presidential election, with the willing collusion of the candidates? No, I’m not going to bring up the 2016 election here. I’ll leave that to the efforts of the special prosecutor assigned to the case. I’d like to discuss the movie “The Manchurian Candidate,” released in 1962 and remade in 2004. The original film is based on a novel of the same name, written in 1959 by Richard Condon. Recently, I finally saw the movie that stars Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury and Laurence Harvey for the first time. From the Harvey and Sinatra play Korean Publisher’s War veterans who were in the same Desk unit. They believe that they came under attack by the Chinese and suffered Tom Stangl losses with Harvey eventually saving h unit, i receiving i the the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroism. After the war, Sinatra continues to serve in the Army, but begins having a disturbing reoccurring nightmare. He dreams that he and the surviving members of his unit are appearing in front of a group of Chinese and Russian soldiers and scientists discussing their brainwashing and the next moment they are in front of a women’s garden club, discussing the same topic. Other members of the old unit are having the dreams as well. They even recall Harvey strangling one of his fellow soldiers and shooting another between the eyes. Harvey has returned to his smothering mother and drunken stepfather, a U.S. senator who sees communists everywhere. He’s not sure of the number of communists, changing his mind every time he talks about the topic, but they are everywhere. This is a not so subtle caricature of Sen. Joseph Mc-

Carthy. Harvey’s mother, played by Angela Lansbury, is a calculating politician, the true “power behind the throne.” Lansbury has high political ambitions for her husband, looking to wrap up a vice presidential nomination and with her son’s help, even more. It becomes clear that Harvey has indeed been brainwashed, a sleeper agent who is triggered by seeing the queen of diamonds in a deck of cards. He has been programmed to follow directions, even jumping in a lake when told to do so in an offhand comment. Yes, there’s political intrigue, including a thrilling ending, which I won’t spoil here. It’s an excellent movie with top notch performances by Sinatra and Lansbury. Lansbury received an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal. It’s one of the best performances I have seen by Sinatra, who was also one of the producers. The movie still seems cutting edge, 55 years after its release. The satire is biting, and not much has truly changed in politics since its release. There’s an urban legend that Sinatra took the film out of circulation following the assassination of his friend, John F. Kennedy, a year after the film was released. There were some that wondered if Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, had been programmed in a similar manner. In fact, Sinatra had a disagreement with the studio over the profits, so he shelved the film for 24 years. With the current talk of foreign influence in our presidential elections, this movie that was released a year after I was born is, in some ways, more current than ever. Give it a watch, I think you’ll enjoy it. 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.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

New mining legislation would end long-standing moratorium BY WISPOLITICS.COM

Another pro-mining bill is before the Legislature, stirring opposition ahead of next year’s elections. The “Mining for America Act,’’ introduced by two Wisconsin lawmakers, would eliminate the nearly two-decadeold moratorium on mining in the state for minerals that don’t contain iron, such as copper, aluminum and zinc. “Our neighbors, Minnesota and Michigan, have placed their shovels in the dirt of America’s future. It is Wisconsin’s turn to do the same,” said Sen. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst. “American technological needs such as mobile phones, hybrid cars and even solar panels require mined minerals to be built. It is time for America to build these products. That process can begin here.” Rep. Rob Hutton, R-Brookfield, said the state is “uniquely equipped” to supply these materials. “Encouraging significant investments in safe mining will create a new economic environment in northern Wisconsin, resulting in family-supporting jobs throughout our entire state,” Hutton said. But, new polling in key Senate districts shows broad support for keeping in place the state’s current sulfide mining law. The poll results, from the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, show at least 73 percent of respondents in the 17th, 23rd, 24th and 29th state Senate districts support current law, which was first adopted in 1998. The River Alliance of Wisconsin commissioned the polls. The 17th district is represented by Howard Marklein, R-Spring Green; the 23rd

is represented by Terry Moulton, R-Chippewa Falls; the 24th by Pat Testin, R-Stevens Point; and the 29th by Jerry Petrowski, R-Marathon. Marklein, Moulton and Petrowski are up for re-election next year. “In district after district, there is broad, bipartisan, non-ideological support for keeping the protections that we have against mining pollution on the books,” said River Alliance of Wisconsin Executive Director Raj Shukla. “It’s not a 51-49 split. It’s 70 percent of voters saying, ‘We want to keep existing protections from pollution.’” Tiffany, though, tells WisPolitics.com he believes there’s good support for the bill, especially in northern Wisconsin. Tiffany added his bill doesn’t change groundwater standards and maintains the “rigorous process” for interested companies to receive a permit to mine. “This is an opportunity to have good jobs in northern Wisconsin in manufacturing,” the Hazelhurst Republican said. “That’s the primary reason we want to do this. We can do mining in a safe and responsible manner.” Gov. Scott Walker in 2013 signed a Republican mining bill to propel a giant iron mine in far northeastern Wisconsin. The legislation eased the permitting process for an open-pit mine proposed by Gogebic Taconite for a site south of Lake Superior. Republicans said it would create thousands of jobs, but tribes and environmentalists warned of damage to the area. Two years after the bill signing, the company closed its Hurley office, claiming the many wetlands at the site doomed the mine project.

Chris and Michelle Jerina enjoy the furniture built in Grantsburg.

WAUKEGAN, ILL.—Sometimes life seems too coincidental. This coincidence spans 408.2 miles and has to do with an ottoman. Chris and Michelle Jerina live in Waukegan and met while attending college in Kenosha. Chris is from Illinios and Michelle is from Grantsburg. After they married, the couple purchased Chris’ grandmother’s home in Waukegan and decided to do a bit of remodeling. Before pulling up the carpet to get at what they hoped to be a pristine, preserved hardwood floor, they had to move the furniture. Chris began moving the ottoman. He paused, called out, “Come look at what I found!”

Curious, Michelle sauntered over and her eyes fell on a tag on the overturned ottoman. Northern MRG. Co. Home of Grants Furniture. Grantsburg, Wisconsin. Impressed, and a bit bewildered she called her mother, Terry Nordrum— Front Office Manager at the Burnett County Sentinel. Northern Manufacturing closed this past summer, however, furniture sales ceased several years ago. But, despite the company having lived out its life, their products traveled far and wide and have stood the test of time.

GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe

Did you get a chance to take in the Grantsburg Fair over the weekend? Unfortunately, the rain spoiled many events like the fair parade! Even though it was cool (yes, downright cold), many enjoyed Senior Day – the diehard bingo players, free pie and ice cream, awesome music by some of our local boys and, of course, the fair food! That’s what it is all about! The county’s “Centenarians” like Edna Shroeder and Loretta Brown were honored. I hope you had a chance to check out some of the many exhibits from flowers, baked goodies and other creative talents of our friends and neighbors. My vote for the highlight and best eats was the BeeKeepers’ Honey Ice Cream. Yummy!

Several of our seniors attended class reunions. Wednesday was the Class of 1949-50. Marilyn G., Cora S., Berdella J. and Virginia R. were a few who attended. On Thursday, Mary D. attended the Class of 1953 event and Friday was the Class of 1954. Delight M. said they had about 30 in attendance. It’s nearly time for our fall fundraiser at the center, the Rummage Sale! Start gathering those extras around the house. We are accepting donations! Mark your calendars for Sept. 16. Remember, you can drop off used eyeglasses any day for the Lion’s Club and boxtop labels for the school.

National Preparedness Month

Creating your emergency plan

Editor’s note: September is National Preparedness Month. Burnett County Emergency Management, The Burnett County Sentinel and Fourwinds Market have partnered in a month long campaign of articles, displays and giveaways with a goal of increasing your awareness of emergency preparedness and to offer tips and suggestions on how to prepare your family in case of an emergency. The focus this week is making a plan for caring for you and your family during an emergency. Next week, suggestions will be offered on what can be done to assist your neighbors and community during an emergency. Check back each week for more.

Greatest risks for Burnett County residents JIM TOLBERT BURNETT COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

The greatest risks to Burnett County residents are identified in the Burnett County Hazard Mitigation Plan as tornadoes, wildfires, thunderstorms, windstorms, failure of the power grid, winter storms and hailstorms, in that order. National Preparedness Month is a great time to review your preparedness plans for responding to any of these disasters by discussing: • How will you learn about an impending danger? • How will you know where your family members are and how will you communicate with them? • How will you feed and shelter your family (including pets) during the disaster? • How will you care for minor injuries encountered during the emergency? • How will you protect your belongings from further damage due to the incident? So... let’s get started! Make a plan for yourself, family and friends Emergencies are stressful and can be scary, but with planning a lot of stress and fear can be minimized. Having a plan that has been age appropriately dis-

cussed will alleviate fear and panic, especially in kids. Minimizing the trauma is good for everyone! Here are some things to consider in your plan: • Warnings and Alerts. • Have a weather radio with fresh backup batteries – and have it on! • Download the National Weather Service (NWS) and FEMA smart phone apps and set notifications on! • Monitor TV and radio during times of possible events. • Create a Family Communication Plan. • Make sure adults know where their kids ‘events and friends are. Kids, know where the adults work and play. Jointly choose a meeting place where all can meet if you can get to your residence. • Choose a relative or friend out of the area who can act as an information clearinghouse if family members get separated. • Red Cross “People Finder.” • Talk about how you would use cell phones, land line phones or social media during and after an emergency. • Food and water cache and how to prepare it. • Look at the typical amount of supplies you keep on hand and figure out how many meals you make from your refrigerator and pantry. Obtain shelf stable items to fill out your on-hand supplies so that your family can eat for 5-7 days. • Evaluate your source of water and consider how much you need to store. Consider a water filtration/ purification system that would allow you to safely use water in your environment. • Evaluate what methods you might have for cooking if the power is out or if the natural gas is out. Consider options like camp stoves, gas or charcoal grills, campfires, etc. • Safe locations in your home. Your most common hazards Consider the types of hazards you are most likely to be exposed to, what dangers your residence is most susceptible to? If you live in the woods, are you FireWise? (Google WI DNR FireWise for more information.)

Is your property susceptible to flooding? Do you have a storm shelter or a family plan during a tornado or severe thunderstorm? Do you have alternatives to the electric grid if the power goes out? Do you have alternative heating options and/or plans to “winterize” your home if you have to leave it during freezing weather?

Prescriptions supply Do you have a First Aid Kid and supply of required prescriptions? Do you maintain a buffer of critical medications for everyone in the family? If not, discuss options with your family physician. Assemble a simple First Aid kit and make sure all family members know where it is and how to use it. Consider the distance and time from medical care and possible trauma you may experience during and after a disaster when assembling your family’s First Aid kit.

Important documents, protection of valuables Are wills, birth certificates, marriage certificates, deeds, insurance policies and other important personal paper safe and secure, but available if required? Consider what valuables you would want to take with you if you had to leave your home.

Make it fun Making a plan can be a fun family exercise. Using the guidelines above as talking points, have “dinner table” discussions about “what-if” something bad happens. A Family Preparedness Plan will help you and your family “weather the storm” in the least stressful or scary way. Next week: The focus of the second week of National Preparedness Month is “How to plan to help your neighbors and community.” Stay tuned for the event at FourWinds Market, Sept. 15-21. It will encourage family units to put away food and water to feed themselves for five-seven days. We will offer menu ideas, brochures and giveaways. Mark your calendar.

Help hurricane survivors with blood donations

HOUSTON, TX—The impact of Hurricane Harvey is widespread and includes the blood supply in affected communities. Memorial Blood Center of Wisconsin and Minnesota and other blood centers across the country are being asked to help supply blood products to affected areas. In order for Memorial Blood Centers to provide assistance, we need help from blood donors in the Northland. Blood inventories are typically low around the Labor Day holiday, so the increased need to support blood centers in areas affected by the hurricane place an added need for blood products. Help Memorial Blood Centers send blood products to areas impacted by Hurricane Harvey. There is an urgent need for O Negative and O Positive blood types. Memorial Blood Centers request volunteers to donate blood as soon as they are able, recognizing that it is best to wait eight weeks (56 days) between donations.

Upcoming blood drives: Pine City: 10:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. Tues., Oct. 17, Chris’s Food Center, 1035 Main St. S. Hinckley: 8 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Wed., Oct. 18 Hinckley Finlayson High School.

initiatives comes from a $1.5 million Methamphetamine Initiative Grant from the United States Department of Justice • Schimel hired four additional criminal investigation agents who are focused on drug interdiction and drug trafficking, the result of 2017 Wisconsin Act 35. • Schimel has advocated for increasing spending on treatment alternative and diversion courts (TAD). Last month, Governor Walker signed 2017 Wisconsin Act 32 into law, which allocates an additional $2,000,000 to the Wisconsin Department of Justice for drug treatment court grants in Wisconsin counties. • Last month, Schimel successfully sought a stay from the Supreme Court of the United States in Anderson, et al. v. Loertscher, a challenge to the state’s Unborn Child Protection Act. The Unborn Child Protection Act or 1997 Wisconsin Act 292 gives state actors the legal authority to assist substance-addicted, pregnant women with their addiction, thus protecting both the mothers and their unborn children. • In March, Schimel and agents from the Wisconsin

All of the professionals play a part in the rescue and support of drug endangered children. The children are provided with services that assist in providing the drug endangered child with a safe environment in which to live and grow up. Each program has a formal Memorandum of Understanding between involved agencies and a protocol that sets out guidelines of what each professional will do when a drug endangered child is identified.

SIREN— Ruby’s Second Hand shop is about to celebrate nine years of business. Manager Sue Jeffery and the crew at Ruby’s have decided to hold a week-long Birthday Bash. Starting Monday, Sept. 4 through the following Saturday all customers are eligible to visit, eat cake, and draw a discount card from a hat. Discounts range from 10 to 50 percent off, and a few lucky customers may even receive an item for free. Unrelated to the celebration, but in the spirit of generosity, Ruby’s is donating 20 pairs of sneakers to the Siren School District. Eight years ago, Ruby’s Second Hand received a large, one-time shipment of the ever popular Tae Bo sneakers. “Everybody loved them,” said Jeffery. Eight years later, Jeffery and the Ruby’s crew looked

at the dwindling supply and decided the shoes would be better served elsewhere rather than on a for sale rack: in the schools. “That’s where they are needed,” said Jeffery matter-of-factly. Students are required to have everyday shoes and a pair for physical education classes, and Jeffery hopes the shoes will benefit anyone who needs them. When the shoes arrived, the market price for one pair came in around $100. The shoes have never been worn, and if the original market price is considered, Ruby’s donation is one that nears $2,000.

However, it is reported that shortly before 1 p.m., Simmons allegedly entered the West Marshland home and grabbed a .22 caliber rifle located in the house. The criminal complaint states Simmons also took a .22 revolver from the home and placed the weapon in his back pocket, returned to his vehicle and drove south on Gile Road. However, an occupant of the home told law enforcement that before Simmons left the house he threatened to shoot one family member, drive a truck through the house, blowup the house and set it on fire. Later in the afternoon, law enforcement discovered Simmons’ vehicle parked on Phantom Lake Road at a location approximately eight miles from

the Gile Road residence. When officials made attempts to apprehend Simmons, he fled into the woods only to be arrested shortly after. During a search of the vehicle, law enforcement discovered 7.48 grams of marijuana, a pipe, and a loaded firearm. Simmons now faces one count of the following: possession of a firearm by a felon (class G felony), possession with intent to deliver THC (class I felony), possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor), disorderly conduct - domestic abuse - use of a dangerous weapon (class B misdemeanor), and obstructing an officer (class A misdemeanor). Simmons made his initial appearance on Aug. 23 for these charges and is due in court for a preliminary hearing at 9:30 a.m., Sept. 6.

The second chase began in Siren and ended with the arrest of Randy D. Search, 44, of Chisago City, Minn. At 11:50 p.m., Aug. 24 in The Village of Siren, a deputy noticed a car traveling at excessive speeds on Highway 35. The officer pursued the vehicle which then “pulled over and stopped very quickly.” When the deputy exited his squad to address the driver, the suspect pulled back onto the roadway and drove south. This happened once more and the vehicle continued south on Highway 35 into Polk County. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office was notified and officials setup a stop zone south of Frederic on 35 and deployed stop-sticks – tire deflation devices for use in a high speed chase. The suspect crossed the stop-sticks and came to a stop a short distance further. Search was at first taken into custody by the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, but quickly transfered to the Burnett County Jail. This all the information known as of press time. All information received via the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office.

Tony Evers kicks off campaign for Wisconsin Governor FITCHBURG—State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers recently announced his candidacy for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination at the McKee Farms Kids Crossing Dream Park in Fitchburg. “I’m running for Governor because as a lifelong educator, I’ve always believed that what’s best for our kids is best for our communities, our economy and our democracy,” Evers said. “As State Superintendent, I’ve seen first-hand how Scott Walker’s policies have made it tougher for all public schools and the families they serve.” Evers says he understands that the greatest engine of economic growth is a strong, well-funded public school system. “I understand the best way to prepare our kids for 21st century jobs, and bring those jobs to Wisconsin, is to build a skilled workforce by investing in our schools. “As Superintendent, I have led a resurgence of career and technical education in our public school system that has led to more students being college and career ready. If we invest in public education, K-12, technical colleges and the UW System, new jobs and industries will come. And, they’ll come without having to write billion dollar checks to foreign corporations.” Evers also pledged to end the divisiveness that has paralyzed Wisconsin’s government under Scott Walker. “Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen the consequences of having leaders who seek to divide us rather than bring us together.

People are getting hurt. Families and friendships are being destroyed. People are scared. Make no mistake – Donald Trump is using the same playbook Scott Walker has been using in Wisconsin for years to create divisions and pit people against each other. The targets of their efforts are different, but their tactics are the same. Trump and Walker are not a symptom of our divisions – they are the cause. “Enough is enough. If I am elected to serve as your Governor, the politics of division stop on day one. I’ve won three statewide elections by building a coalition of Democrats, Independents and Republicans because they know that I treat my political opponents with respect and have worked across party lines to get things done for our kids.” Tony Evers has been elected three times to serve as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, winning 70 of 72 counties in his last election, with 70 percent of the vote statewide. Evers has spent his entire career educating our kids, previously working as a science teacher, a high school principal and as school district superintendent. As State Superintendent, Evers runs one of the largest agencies in the state, with responsibility over 70,000 educators and 860,000 students. Evers is the father of three children and six grandchildren, raising his family in communities throughout Wisconsin, including Plymouth, Baraboo, Tomah, Oakfield, Omro, Oshkosh and Verona.

Wisconsin healthcare ‘Best in the Nation’ MADISON— For the second time in a month, Wisconsin healthcare received top honors. Wisconsin is the top state in the nation for healthcare with the highest overall healthcare quality score among all 50 states, according to the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The ranking is based on Wisconsin’s performance across more than 130 statistical measures that AHRQ uses to evaluate healthcare performance. Wisconsin is first in the nation, followed closely by Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The top ten performing states are all located in either the Northeast or Midwest. Wisconsin ranked third highest in the nation last year and has been out of the top three only twice in the past decade. “The AHRQ rankings are a national validation of what we know here; Wisconsin’s local and regional health systems are delivering some of the best care in the country,” according to Wisconsin Hospital Association President/CEO Eric Borgerding. “Across all care settings, in rural and urban communities, we are maintaining consistently high performance, while striving to set even higher standards of care. It is that combination of performance and commitment to be better that makes Wisconsin a perennial leader.” The AHRQ top ranking is based on the overall quality of care in the state. It arrives on the heels of Wisconsin’s Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) being singled out in July 2017 as the best in the nation by the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) for outstanding quality performance. That ranking was based on participation in and achievement on the Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP). Wisconsin CAHs achieved the highest reporting rates and levels of improvement in the country over the past year. CAHs are hospitals with fewer than 25 beds that provide essential services in rural areas. There are 58 CAHs in Wisconsin. “We know as we improve quality, we reduce healthcare costs and patient outcomes are better,” Borgerding said. “That helps ensure that Wisconsin will continue to be known for high-quality, high-value care, which is an economic development asset in every part of the state.” Wisconsin has shown consistently high performance since AHRQ started the state rankings in 2006. This year, the state’s strongest performance was in acute and chronic care, and patient safety. The best scores in Wisconsin based on the setting where the care was provided were in the hospital, medical clinic and by home health and hospice providers.

Dahlberg Dedication State Sen. Sheila Harsdorf of River Falls was on hand Saturday afternoon as former longtime Grantsburg Village Board Trustee and President Mark Dahlberg was honored with a street sign in his name.

The quality of healthcare varies widely across the nation, according to AHRQ. That is why, according to Kelly Court, WHA chief quality officer, Wisconsin’s performance is impressive because healthcare providers here are focused on delivering high quality care across all settings. “The consistency from year to year is important,” says Court. “This demonstrates that healthcare is coordinated across settings and delivered as an entire system statewide. It also demonstrates that Wisconsin providers continue to evolve as healthcare changes, but they never lose their focus on improving important aspects of patient care.” The AHRQ quality measures are compared to achievable benchmarks, which are derived from the top-performing states. AHRQ measures healthcare quality in three different contexts: by types of care (such as preventive, acute, or chronic care), by settings of care (such as hospitals, nursing homes, home health or hospice), and care by clinical area (such as care for patients with cancer or respiratory diseases). They also report measures by race and ethnicity. While Wisconsin shows strong overall performance in most areas of care, there is still work to be done related to healthcare equity, including care for both high and low income populations and ethnic minorities. When measures are segmented by race and ethnicity, the performance is just average. “WHA members are aligning their quality improvement goals to address healthcare equity issues as they work with community partners to develop programs and policies that will have a positive impact on population health,” Court said. The Wisconsin Hospital Association represents hospitals and health systems statewide that provide both inpatient care and outpatient services in a variety of settings.

Grantsburg fair successful despite two inches of rain GRANTSBURG—Considering the weather, the Burnett County Agricultural Society Fair had a good turnout for the 140th annual fair, according to fair officials. Various rainfall totals in the Grantsburg area during the Thursday-Sunday fair ranged from 1.2 to 2.2 inches of rain. The number of ticket buyers and riders on the midway was up from one year ago. “When the midway goes well, generally the fair goes well,” said one official. Overall attendance was down. “The fair has expenses, rain or shine,” he said. “The numbers aren’t all in yet so we won’t know totals for some time. How we end up this year does affect what we can do the next year.” The rain caused some events to be canceled, including the Sunday car show and cook-off, the Sunday truck and tractor pull and the Saturday afternoon parade. The farmers market and flea market were held, and rain didn’t stop kids from enjoying the midway rides. All indoor exhibits were well attended. “We don’t ever remember ever canceling the fair parade before, but it was the right call on Saturday,” an official said.

Grantsburg man pleads not guilty to child abuse charge SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN—A Grantsburg man plead not guilty last week to the charge of physical abuse of a child - intentionally cause bodily harm, a class H felony. Bradley T. Adolphson faces a $10,000 fine, six months in jail, or both if convicted. According to the criminal complaint issued by the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department, officers were dispatched to a home on Fish Lake Road in Grantsburg after receiving a call accusing Adolphson of punching a 17-year old in the face multiple times. The individual who made the call is the grandfather of the alleged victim. The victim claims to having pulled onto the road and drove west until

Adolphson pulled out onto Fish Lake Road from his own driveway in a black SUV blocking the road. According to the complaint, the victim told officers Adolphson exited the vehicle and “told him he has warned him before.” The file continues, “[Adolphson] then grabbed the victim’s shirt collar through the window of his truck and twisted it, and punched him in the face three times with his left fist.” The victim believes Adolphson confused him with (the victim’s) brother who the defendant may have had issues with in the past. Those details are unknown at this time. Adolphson is due back in court at 1:30 p.m., Nov. 1.

out of the arena due to the rain and mud. “We staged the next event while one was underway, and we had guys with skid

steers and tractors to keep the area clear and help get vehicles pushed in and out of the pit.” Only a few were able to enter or leave the pit under their own power. “Overall the derby went well with a good show, but the crowd size was probably half of normal. On Saturday night, the hardy souls that came out for the derby were about the only ones on the fairgrounds. Vendors shut down early because of the rain.” The derby got a later start and ran longer than usual. It finished after midnight, but the best show of the night was the final heat, the two-man event where the man in the driver’s seat steers and his passenger runs the shifter and the gas. It takes some modifying to get the car ready. The night finished off with a ball of flames, when a hard hit sent a car’s front end up in flames. The driver got out okay, and had a chance to restart the car as the rules allow, but it went up in flames again. Turnout at grandstand events was pretty good, including the “Ultimate Truck Series” show on Friday night, a new event. They hope to bring it back next year. Steve Briggs, Sentinel.

Task force forms on elder abuse MILWAUKEE—At the annual National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) Conference, Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel announced the creation of the Attorney General’s Task Force on Elder Abuse. “Over the next two decades, Wisconsin’s 65 and older population will increase by 72 percent” and one in nine seniors have reported being abused, neglected or exploited in the past twelve months,” Schimel said. “Sadly, this group is seen by criminals as vulnerable and easily exploitable. With this rapidly growing population, we must act with urgency to protect our loved ones from becoming the target of financial, physical, emotional and sexual abuse.” The Task Force on Elder Abuse is charged with compiling the resources and knowledge of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals to study the impact of elder abuse in Wisconsin and assess ways to improve outcomes for this growing population of citizens. In addition to developing strategies to address barriers in investigation and prosecutions of elder abuse, the task force will strengthen consumer protection for seniors and create recommendations for improved cross-system

communications. The task force includes representatives from the following Wisconsin state departments: Justice; Health Services; Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection; financial institutions; the Wisconsin State Legislature, law enforcement, Wisconsin Court System, Board on Aging and Long Term Care, Wisconsin Bankers Association, crime victim services, adult protective services, senior living facilities and senior citizen advocacy organizations. The group will meet quarterly with issue-focused working groups that will meet on a monthly basis. The Task Force on Elder Abuse inaugural meeting will take place in October 2017. For more information about elder abuse, please visit the National Adult Protective Services Association, National Center of Elder Abuse, State of Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long Term Care or Wisconsin Aging and Disability Resource Centers. To report suspected financial, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, please contact your county elder adult-at-risk agency. If you witness an act of abuse, neglect or exploitation that requires immediate attention, call 911.

July traffic stop leads to confusion in court SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER— On Aug. 23, Tyrone T. Larcholey, 41, Minneapolis, was due to make an initial appearance on a felony charge of attempting to flee or elude a traffic officer, as a party to a crime. A man did appear; however, this man claimed to be Bobby L. Brown. The public defender assigned to this case, Daniel Chapman, told the court, “Mr. Brown is the person that was in the backseat of the vehicle involved with this complaint. He is not Mr. Larcholey. I believe he is charged with obstructing, with giving his real name as opposed to giving the name Tyrone Larcholey. We may have to get this sorted out at some point. His fingerprints are improperly tied to that name and the police made a mistake...However, he is here today despite the fact that he is not actually charged and he is not the person on this complaint.”

Two charges are filed under the name Larcholey: attempting to elude and a traffic officer, as a party to a crime (class I felony), and obstructing an officer (class A misdemeanor). The man who identified as Brown was charged with obstruction at the Burnett County Jail after his fingerprints drew the name Larcholey in the police system. Due to the confusion and possible inaccuracy of the criminal complaint, a status conference and further initial appearance are set for 2 p.m. Sept. 27. The charges stem from a traffic stop on July 28. At about 1 a.m., a Burnett County law enforcement official patrolling Highway 70 near Siren noticed a silver car emboldened with Minnesota license plates drive off a snowmobile trail on the south side of the highway and turn east onto 35. Law enforcement began following the vehicle which then turned around in the parking lot of Polk Burnett Electric.

The patrol vehicle did the same then followed the silver vehicle into the roundabout. After turning east onto Lind Road, the car allegedly slowed and quickly sped up again. The officer notified dispatch of the pursuit and detailed the vehicle to contain two males, a driver and one man in the back seat. The height of speed only reached 30 miles per hour but lasted a total of seven minutes, according to the criminal complaint. The silver car came to a stop once confronted by two Tribal patrol vehicles at 1:12 a.m. The Burnett County officer exited his patrol vehicle with patrol rifle drawn and ordered the occupants of the car to place their hands out of the windows. The driver was ordered to walk backwards towards one Tribal officer and then to get on his knees. The passenger was instructed to walk backwards towards the other and lie flat on the ground with his hands on the small of his back. Both

complied. The driver was identified as Kyle D. Rufsholm, 30, from Siren. The occupant gave his name as Bobby L. Brown, 50. Brown had in his possession a Texas I.D. When the BC official asked Brown why the driver did not stop, the complaint states, “[Brown] said he was telling the driver not to stop because they were out in the middle of nowhere and with all the things that have been going on with the police.” The complaint states a K9 search of the vehicle “indicated the presence of narcotics in the vehicle, notably in the back door areas.” However, it does not state the amount nor were any drug charges filed. The complaint only states that earlier in the day, a Webster police officer informed the Tribal officer on the scene that Rufsholm “had taken over transportation of methamphetamine from a Mexican cartel in the Minneapolis area” and the amount could

be upwards of five pounds. The report does state that officers discovered a mixture of motor oil and Windex “dumped on the frame under the [back] seat” and that this mixture “is commonly used to mask the odor of illegal drugs from K9s.” Upon opening the trunk, “heavy duty” garbage bags, rubber gloves, and duct tape were found. The complaint states, “These items are commonly used for repackaging large quantities of drugs.” Next to the garbage bags was a battery operated grinder with multiple disk blades. Law enforcement also found several small clear plastic baggies and three cell phones. Both the driver and passenger were escorted to the Burnett County Jail. An arrest warrant was issued on Aug. 24 after Rufsholm failed to appear in court for an initial appearance. Rufsholm is charged with one felony count of attempting to flee or elude an officer.

Goyke, Jarchow complete ‘legislative exchange’

MADISON—A Milwaukee Democrat and Balsam Lake Republican who serve together in the Wisconsin Statehouse have completed the second leg of a “Legislative Exchange” to get a new perspective on Wisconsin needs. Rep. Evan Goyke (D-Milwaukee) completed the second leg of the “Legislative Exchange,” spending Wednesday visiting northwest Wisconsin with Rep. Adam Jarchow (R-Balsam Lake). Back in February, Jarchow spent a day in Milwaukee. The unlikely friends are making an effort to understand each other’s districts and the unique issues that they both face.

The rural Wisconsin day started at a large farm in Spring Valley with Rep. Warren Petryk (R-Eleva), then a lunch meeting focused on workforce development with local officials and business leaders at OEM Fabricators, Inc. in Woodville. That afternoon they took tours of F&A Dairy and Dresser Trap Rock in Dresser, Interstate State Park and Dancing Dragonfly Winery in St. Croix Falls. Goyke commented, “In January, I welcomed Rep. Jarchow to Milwaukee and opened the doors of my home and district to facilitate stronger bi-partisan communication and collaboration. Today’s district exchange is a continuation

of that effort and I have enjoyed spending time with Adam and his family.” “As I stated earlier this year,” Goyke continued, “our districts are 300 miles apart. We may be even farther apart politically – but as different as our communities and politics are, we acknowledge that what happens in the 18th Assembly District matters to the 28th District and vice versa. Our state is strong only when every corner, every community is thriving.” Jarchow said, “Thanks so much to Evan, my colleague, for making the long

trip up to northwestern Wisconsin. We come from very different backgrounds and have very different political views; however, I have a great respect for him, his willingness serve the public and his appetite for reaching across the aisle for the good of this state.” Jarchow added, “Any time I get to bring a city dweller to the north woods and show off everything we have to offer up here is a great day. Thanks to all our hosts today who welcomed Rep. Goyke to the other side of the state.”

Boys in Grades K-5 are invited to School Night for Scouting September 19 from 6-7 PM NORTHERN STAR COUNCIL BSA

ST. PAUL—Northern Star Council of the Boy Scouts of America announces Tuesday, September 19 as “School Night for Scouting.” New member sign-ups will take place at all elementary schools throughout 21 Minnesota and four Western Wisconsin Counties from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. This is the largest Cub Scout recruitment event of the year, expected to enroll over 4,000 new members. A Cub Scout membership costs $32 per year, but all boys can join regardless of their ability to pay. Parents can register their sons for Cub Scouts at Webster, Siren and Grantsburg schools on Sept. 19, or simply go online anytime at www. HeroScouts.org.

“Heroes Start Here” is the tagline for the superheroes theme, reflecting characteristics Scouts and superheroes share, such as bravery and doing good deeds, plus highlighting the fun, adventure and imagination that is the core of the program. Scouting helps boys discover and build their own “superpowers” — talents, interests and life skills. Every boy who signs up for Cub Scouts will receive a glow-in-thedark “Superhero Shield” (Frisbee) and T-shirt that can be used at fall “Superhero Training Camps.” These are special introductory four-hour programs at council camps and community sites each weekend in October. Cub Scouts participate in a variety of indoor and outdoor activ-

ities designed to help them gain confidence, increase social skills and develop their capacity for leadership – all while having fun and serving their community. Last year, Scouts in our Northern Star Council Community performed 191,500 hours of community service – an average of more than five hours per member. A “hero” is defined as “a person admired for bravery, great achievements, or good qualities.” Scouting helps boys attain all three. Heroes start here. Attend “School Night for Scouting” September 19. For more information, contact Director of Marketing/Communications Kent York at kyork@ northernstarbsa.org.

Joint Finance Committee votes to restore Farm-to-School funding CHIPPEWA FALLS—Wisconsin Farmers Union (WFU) commends the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) for unanimously voting in favor of a provision to restore Farm-to-School (FTS) funding in the budget. Funding for the program was eliminated in the Governor’s proposed budget this spring. WFU was among a broad coalition of groups that signed onto a letter circulated to legislators in April, urging them to save the program, which spurs over $9 million dollars in purchases of locally grown and processed foods by Wisconsin schools each year. Farmers Union members also lobbied for FTS during the family farm organization’s Farm and Rural Lobby Day at the State Capitol in February. The Wisconsin FTS program connects K-12 public and private schools, early care centers, hos-

pitals, universities and other institutions with Wisconsin-grown and processed fruits, vegetables, dairy products, proteins and other nutritious foods. Created in 2009, FTS has a strong track record of maximizing local food purchases and is estimated to benefit 500,000 students across the state each year. “The unanimous, bipartisan vote by JFC members in support of restoring funding to Wisconsin FTS at DATCP is extremely encouraging,” said WFU Government Relations Associate Nick Levendofsky. “We join the members of our coalition in thanking these key legislators for their efforts and look forward to working with members of the Assembly and Senate to ensure its passage in their respective chambers.” “The FTS program is a meaningful investment in the future of Wisconsin’s farm economy and

Grantsburg restaurant future uncertain GRANTSBURG—One of Grantsburg’s two restaurants with a liquor license closed Saturday night with no immediate plans for the future. Dreamers St. Croix Grille operator Ginger Westerburg decided to not renew her two-year lease due to lack of business. The facility has a full kitchen, separate bar and seating area, a dining room with adjoining room for group dining and meetings. Owners Corrine Scheele and David Corty said they have requested to put the liquor license back in their names and are looking for a restaurant buyer or operator.

the next generation,” said WFU President Darin Von Ruden. “The program connects farmers to steady regional institutional markets – which in turn is helping farm families, their rural communities and the students who benefit from the wholesome, local food on their plate.” Following passage out of the Joint Finance Committee, the full budget still needs to pass out of the Assembly and Senate, and then proceed to Governor Walker for his signature or veto. There is no current timeline for the budget, but the process is picking up speed, and some speculate a deal will be reached sometime next month. Wisconsin Farmers Union is a member-driven organization committed to enhancing the quality of life for farmers, rural communities, and all people. Learn more at www. wisconsinfarmersunion.com.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING

Walker asks Trump for ﬂooding disaster declaration MADISON, Wis. (AP)—Gov. Scott Walker is asking President Donald Trump for a federal disaster declaration for 11 flood-ravaged counties in western Wisconsin. Walker made the request to Trump on Wednesday. The declaration would allow local governments in Buffalo, Crawford, Grant, Iowa, Jackson, La Crosse, Lafayette, Monroe, Richland, Trempealeau and Vernon counties to recover up to 75 percent of their clean-up costs through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Public Assistance Program. Severe storms moved across western Wisconsin from July 19-23, causing flash flooding and several rivers to rise to major flood stage. FEMA has estimated the storms and floods caused more than $10 million in damage to public infrastructure, emergency protection costs and debris removal costs.

Wisconsin budget committee to ﬁnish work in September BY TODD RICHMOND ASSOCIATED PRESS

M A DISON — Republic a ns who control the Legislature’s finance committee finally resumed work on the stalled state budget Thursday after two months off, promising to wrap up revisions to the spending plan within the next two weeks. The most significant action the Joint Finance Committee took Thursday was signing off on language eliminating the state portion of the property tax. The panel planned to follow up with votes on school aid Monday. That would leave road funding as the last big-ticket item the committee must address before sending the twoyear spending plan to the full Senate and Assembly. The committee’s co-chairs, Rep. John Nygren and Sen. Alberta Darling, said the panel expects to finish revising the budget the week of Sept. 5. The Assembly is expected to vote on the budget the following week with the Senate following suit the next week, they said. State law requires lawmakers to finish the budget by July

1, but work halted in June amid GOP bickering over how to pay for road work in light of a nearly $1 billion shortfall in the state’s transportation fund. Gov. Scott Walker and Senate Republicans want to borrow more money and delay major projects. Assembly Republicans have called for raising more money, perhaps by raising the gas tax or vehicle registration fees, which the governor opposes. Walker wants to avoid being tagged with raising taxes or fees as he heads into a re-election campaign next year. Republicans also have pushed the budget to the background in recent weeks as they focused on Walker’s $3 billion incentive package for a Foxconn Technology Plant in southeastern Wisconsin. The Assembly passed that bill last week but Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald has moved more slowly, saying lawmakers need to finish the budget because the incentive bill depends on it. Darling said the Senate expects to take up the incentive package the same week the Assembly votes on the budget. Spending levels from the

2015-17 budget have continued during the stalemate. But the longer the delay, the more impact it will have on school districts, which are trying to set their budgets, and road projects that need more money to proceed. Things began to thaw last week when the committee announced plans to meet Thursday to resume voting on budget provisions. The biggest item on Thursday’s agenda was Walker’s plan to eliminate the forestry mill tax. That’s a tax the state includes on homeowners’ property tax bills to fund forestry programs. The tax is the only property tax the state levies on homeowners. Wiping out the tax would give Walker a key talking point on the campaign trail. He has promised that property taxes on a median-valued home would be lower in 2018 than in 2010, before he took office. Estimates from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau show property taxes have been lower every year since 2010; eliminating the forestry tax would drop a median home’s property taxes by another $50 or so over the

next two years. The state, meanwhile, would lose about $181.5 million in revenue for forestry programs over the next biennium. Walker would fill that hole with money from the state’s general fund. Critics argue that could pit forestry programs against other priorities such as schools, medical assistance and aid to local governments. They’ve also warned that the general fund transfer could eventually be reduced or eliminated. “The forestry account ... will now be moved ... to be in direct competition with other programs in future biennia,’’ Rep. Katrina Shankland, D-Stevens Point, said. “Maybe not in this biennia, but no one can tell me we’ll have the resources in the future.’’ Committee Republicans countered that people pay too much in taxes and ending the forestry tax is a step in the right direction. “We are not in the state property tax business,’’ Rep. Dale Kooyenga, R-Brookfield, said. “This is the right vote and I applaud Governor Walker for being bold.’’

In the end the committee approved the repeal on a 12-4 vote. All four Democrats on the committee voted against it. The clearest sign of budget progress, though, was an announcement Thursday that the committee will meet again on Monday to address school funding. Walker wants to pump an additional $649 million to public, voucher and charter schools. Republican lawmakers also have been considering loosening income limits for the voucher program, which subsidizes private school students’ tuition. Once school funding is squared away, the only major item left will be roads. Walker said earlier this week that he had reached an agreement “in principle’’ with Republican lawmakers that calls for $400 million in new borrowing and would impose a higher fee on electric vehicles. The gas tax and registration fees for other vehicles would remain unchanged. Nygren acknowledged Thursday that lawmakers and Walker were nearing a deal but nothing was set yet.

Is your child’s vision ready for school success?

Dwelling Point Church of God takes new post in Siren

WRITTEN BY PREVENT BLINDNESS WISCONSIN SUBMITTED BY ICAA HEAD START

MADISON—As the school year approaches, Prevent Blindness Wisconsin encourages parents and caretakers to learn how they can help protect their child’s vision. One in 20 preschool-aged children and one in four school-aged children has a vision problem. If not corrected, these problems may lead to permanent vision loss. Finding problems and treating them early is the best way to help your child develop their best vision. However, many children may not know that they have a problem because they think the way they see is the way everyone sees An eye exam is the ideal way for parents to know if their child has a vision problem. Parents should also watch for the following signs: What do your child’s eyes look like? • Eyes don’t line up, one eye appears crossed or looks outward • Eyelids are red-rimmed, crusted or swollen • Eyes are watery or red (inflamed) How does your child act? • Rubs eyes a lot • Closes or covers one eye • Tilts head or thrusts head forward • Has trouble reading or doing other close-up work, or holds objects close to eyes to see • Blinks more than usual or seems cranky when doing close-up work • Squints eyes or frowns What does your child say? • “My eyes are itchy,” “my eyes are burning,” or “my eyes feel scratchy.” • “I can’t see very well.” • After doing close-up work, your child says “I feel dizzy,” “I have a headache,” or “I feel sick/ nauseous.” • “Everything looks blurry,” or “I see double.” Parents and caretakers are encouraged to visit www.preventblindness.org/wi or call 414-765-0505 for free information on a variety of children’s vision health topics including eye conditions and eye safety. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

The congregation of Dwelling Point Church of God happily surrounds Pastor Bryan Davis and Rebekah Davis in the church’s new location at the Swedberg-Taylor building in Siren. SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN— Since April 12, 2015, Pastor Bryan Davis has preached before worshipers on Sunday mornings seated in the Timbers Movie Theatre. Davis, a southern Georgia man and Church of God pastor, married Rebekah from Siren and relocated to northwest Wisconsin three years ago. He began filling in for pastors at area churches while searching for a permanent spot. Generosity came in the form of a phone call soon after moving to the area. He was contacted by Faith Burgeon, the manager of Timbers Movie Theatre in Siren who offered the use of the theatre for Sunday services. “She even let us use the space for eight weeks before charging us rent. She gave us the chance to get on our feet,” said Davis. The theater served its purpose and the generosity of Burgeon will forever be cherished by the Davis’ even now as they head into a new chapter, a more traditional chapter. Since late July, the couple, their two children Brielle (5) and Kiera (1), and the congregation gather each Sunday at 10 a.m. in a large room in the Swedberg-Tay-

lor Funeral Home in Siren. Rebekah’s brother urged the pastor to sit and talk with his friend Pat Taylor, the owner of Swedberg-Taylor earlier this summer regarding extra and underutilized space in the building. “Within a few days the lease was signed,” said Rebekah. “Now we don’t have a car filled with church stuff,” added the pastor with a chuckle. On July 23, Davis held the first gathering at the new Dwelling Point Church of God. When he first arrived in Wisconsin, Davis just hoped to find a spot at an existing church to get his feet on the ground. “If you asked me three years ago if I’d have my own Church, I would have laughed,” he said. Dwelling Point is one of just a few Church of God gathering points in western Wisconsin and Davis is positive his modest and dedicated congregation will grow in the near future. “I just want people to know we are here and that we love everyone,” he said.

Due to the wait, her adopters found another kitten. Now, we hope Freedom will soon follow with a new family. Freedom and siblings spent a fair bit of time at the home of one our volunteers who is a cat lover as I am. In the words of her foster mom, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freedom is an adorable kitten. She is super playful, friendly and fun. Freedom loves her toys and playing with other cats and kittens.â&#x20AC;? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keeping our fingers crossed she has a family real soon so she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get lonely. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on this last week? Carolina, a young and beautiful cat, went to foster care and gave birth on Aug. 19 to six adorable kittens. All are doing well. When they are old enough, they will return to the shelter for adoption. A very sweet senior black lab gal came in as a stray from the Sarona area. We figure she is about eight years of age. By the time you read this, kitties Dot, Liberty and Justice will have gone to new homes as will pups Jack and Jill and Australian Cattle Dog Mileagh. Dogs Marvel, Boris and Ariel are still waiting! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very exciting as we have been busy this week planning for the new cat building, talking with the contractor and others as we move forward. As one of the board members said, she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;jazzedâ&#x20AC;? about the whole project. I think we all are. We have also been looking at new cat condos that we desperately need for our kitties. Our current ones arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best, especially the kittens in quarantine and we want whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for them. Quote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anything more rewarding than making the last years of a petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life the best that they can be.â&#x20AC;?

Potter Wasp BY EMILY STONE, NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

We were grateful for the light breeze that sent our patio umbrella flapping, and also for the shade of said umbrella. Somehow weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d chosen what may be the last hot day of summer to go on our annual bike adventure. Eighty degrees and humid over the course of almost 20 miles was sufficient to get the sweat dripping. It was worth it, though, to swoop through the hilly backroads of the Chequamegon National Forest and emerge from the woods at the Farmstead Creamery and CafĂŠ on the North Star Homestead Farm. Run by a family of strong and talented women, this diversified network of pasture-raised poultry, sheep and hogs, as well as raised-bed gardens, a high-tech aquaponics system, and permaculture practices, draws lots of hungry admirers. An outside table with a big umbrella was the perfect place to relax and wait for our home-cooked, local, organic, delicious lunch to arrive. And then, my day got even better. Movement spotted out of the corner of my eye resolved into a small wasp carrying a green caterpillar. The caterpillar was about the size and diameter of the waspâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own body (1/2 inch by 1/8 inch), but neither seemed to be struggling. The wasp hovered and wandered for a bit in the vicinity of the shade umbrellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crank arm. Finally it landed, and started the slow process of dragging the limp larva into the mud-caked hole in the end of the crankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handle! As you can imagine, I was pretty excited. While watching this drama, one of the farmers popped out of the CafĂŠ carrying our plates of food. Naturally, I waylaid him at the table and made him check out the action. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure he knew what to make of it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or my enthusiasm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at first, but I think I convinced him to be impressed before he went back inside. After a few minutes, the last segment of green disappeared. Then, suddenly, the wasp backed out of the hole and flew off! Over the course of lunch, I had to put down my delicious pesto-melt sandwich several times to capture photos of the wasp landing, and its black-and-yellowstriped abdomen circling all around just inside the entrance to the little mud and metal nest. It brought a load of something each time, but never another caterpillar while we watched. The bundles clasped in its forelegs were dark and amorphous. After our amazing dessert of sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk gelato (blueberry fudge flavor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yum!), we started the long,

hot ride home. Using an amazing website called Bugguide.net, which is hosted by the Iowa State University Department of Entomology, I posted my blurry cell phone photos for identification help. Within hours, a contributing editor with experience in wasps replied with a name: Eumeninae. Now, understandably, my fuzzy photos donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give enough information to identify this wasp to species. Even so, just knowing the subfamily itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in gives me some clues to its lifestyle. Also known as potter wasps, this diverse group of solitary wasps use mud to create a variety of nest shapes. Some potter wasps make round-bottomed, narrow-necked nests that look exactly like traditional pots. Legend has it that some Native Americans based their pottery designs on these nests. Other potter wasps make their nests in pre-existing cavities, like the end of a crank handle on a patio umbrella, or any other hollow or crevice they can find. Also called mason wasps, they use mud or sand for construction. Inside each nest chamber she constructs, the female wasp lays just one egg, and then goes about the business of storing up baby food. Adult potter wasps eat nectar, but for their growing offspring, they collect moth larvae like the tiny green caterpillar I witnessed going to its death. Beetle larvae and spiders may meet a similar demise. In any case, the adult delivers a paralyzing sting to the prey, but the toxin does not kill them. Dead larva would soon decompose. These stay fresh but immobile, ready for the hungry wasp larva to hatch and start feasting. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to a year for the larva to pupate, metamorphose and mature. Then, with powerful jaws, the adult wasp breaks open its earthen nursery and emerges to find a mate. While watching this black-and-yellow lady go about her business, two main thoughts were swirling through my head. The first was the importance of a healthy insect population on an organic farm. Using pesticides would have killed off this predator, removing a completely free source of caterpillar control. The North Star Farmstead is doing it right. The second thought was about just how tightly packed this world is with life. Every nook, every cranny, every surface is someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. Experiences like this make me especially glad that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my home, too.

Sherstad Invitational opens cross country season BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG —Last Thursday officially marked the beginning of the cross country season as the Carlyle Sherstad Invitational Cross Country meet was staged in Grantsburg. Mound-Westonka took the boys’ team title as well as the first-place individual runner in Charlie Reinhardt who ran the event in 18:58.7. Unity, Webster, Cumberland and Grantsburg were the remaining teams in order of finish. Incomplete teams were from Frederic-Luck, Shell Lake, Spooner, St. Croix Falls and Valley Christian. The first Webster runner to cross the line was Hunter Erickson with a time of 20:07.9 in sixth position. Right behind him was Joey Formanek and two runners later came Mason Schaaf. In 24th and 25th places were Dustin Kern and Kerik Stubbe. For Grantsburg, Joseph Ohnstad was eighth (20:32.2), Joey Duncan was eleventh and Jared Lee 31st.

were the rest of the Pirate contingent. On the girls’ side, Shell Lake took first place with St. Croix Falls, Mound-Westonka and Spooner next. Cumberland and Webster tied for fifth. Anna Klein, SCF, was the winner in a time of 23:44. Webster's Sam Nelson was second overall at 23:55.3. Sydney Raschke was 25th with Ali Moritz, Jenna Gomulak, Trinity Olguin, Lexi Symond and Kaley Bergstrom finishing up for Webster. Grace Gerber was the first

Pirates girl to cross the line in 25:29.3. Hope McKinley (32:26.4) was the only other Grantsburg runner to complete. Said Grantsburg Coach Lisa McKinley, “The athletes worked hard and competed well overall. “For the girls, only Gracie Gerber and Hope McKinley competed. Each one showed mental fortitude as they worked through slight injuries. “On the boys side, I was pleased with the team's performance. Joseph Ohnstad will continue to lead the team with his hard work ethic and dedication. Newcomer Theodore Vitale ran hard for his first meet and will be a consistent contributor. “Joseph Duncan showed his desire to grow with a nice PR. “Overall, I look forward to the team’s growth and improvement throughout the season,” concluded Coach McKinley. Said Webster Coach Roy Ward, “The Grantsburg meet is always a tough way to start. I tease the kids that their coach must not like them or really like them for making them endure that course. Thankfully, the weather was nice. It is even worse when it

For me, I try to look and appreciate each kid regardless of performance. We have some who are just starting to run and others who are more seasoned. “Regardless, they all have a baseline for their journey through the CC season.

Pirates get non-con win over Vikings BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

F R E D E R I C —T h e Grantsburg Pirates traveled to Frederic to take on the Vikings Friday night, tallying win number two of the young season. The Pirates racked up 54 first half points before sending in the reserves and JV players to handle the second half of play. Frederic scored twice in that half to make the final score 54-16. “It was good to get the win and fun to get some younger kids their first substantial varsity action,” Pirates Coach Adam Hale said. John Chenal put on another impressive offense show, scoring six touchdowns — five rushing TDs and one through the air. And, he only played the first half of the game.

The Vikings received the opening kick off and fumbled early in the drive which was recov-

ing it a 6-0 game. On Frederic’s first play of the next series, Leo Chenal busted

ered by the Pirates. Two plays later John Chenal waltzed into the end zone from one yard out for his first score of the night. The point after attempt was blocked, mak-

through the line to force a fumble which was recovered by Tanner Berger to put them back on offense. The Pirates were intercepted on the next play to give it back

to the Vikings. It was short lived, however, for Frederic as they ran a pass play that was tipped into the air and brought down by Grantsburg’s Luke Anderson to put the Pirates back on offense. They handed the ball to John Chenal who took it 19 yards for the second touchdown of the night. The two-point conversion failed, making it a 12-0 contest. The Pirates struck again with 1:06 left in the first quarter when John Chenal scored again, this time from 16 yards out. He added the two-point conversion to make it 20-0 at the end of the first. In the second quarter, the Pirates continued their dominating ways, adding 34 points. The first score came SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 17

has been battling shin splints. “Jenna (Gomulak) and Ali (Moritz) have a battle going which should make both of them better. Lexi (Symond) was our sixth-place runner and if you want to know how important the sixth runner is, take a look at the results and you will see. “The varsity boys are coming back strong,” said the coach. “They will certainly be missing Andrew Ruiz. Stepping in for him this meet was Hunter Erickson coming in first for the Tigers team. Joey (Formanek), Mason (Schaaf) and Hunter will be pushing each other. We really need Dustin (Kern) and Kerik (Stubbe) to close the gap on the team spread. Webster finished all last year behind Unity and the streak continues. We lost to them by five points. Edwin (Janssen) and Sam (Smith) are two freshmen who managed to make the varsity team on the first meet.” Both Grantsburg and Webster will be at Spooner on Thursday (4:30 p.m.) and Webster will host an invitational meet next Tuesday (Sept. 5) with Grantsburg also in attendance.

Siren suffers 'tough loss' to AC BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ALMA CENTER—Last Friday, the Siren Dragons traveled to Alma Center to play Lincoln and came home with a 28-24 setback. “It was a tough loss,” said Siren Coach Ryan Karsten. “I thought we played OK except for some mental errors. They were all drive killers. “That is what happens to young teams. We have to play better in the weeks to come. “I thought both of our games so far this year have been winnable and if we played the way we are capable of playing, we would have won. Football is a sport where everyone on the field has to work as one. If one piece is out of sync, it doesn't work. That is where we are right now. We are one hiccup away each play. If we get that fixed, we will start playing better. “I thought Tyler An-

ton ran the ball well with 18 carries for 103 yards, his first varsity 100-yard game.” Cordell Fischer ran 21 times for 96 yards and a score. Derek Highstrom rushed nine times for 49 yards, Dolan four time for 22 yards, Logan Meagher three times for 30 yards and a score. Jordan Webster was three for six in passing for 32 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed twice for four yards. Derek Highstrom caught those three passes. “I also thought Noah Koball and Cordell Fischer had great nights on defense with 14 and 10 tackles respectively.” Lukas Hunter and Trevor Stanford had six tackles each with Derek Highstrom getting five tackles. Siren goes to Clayton this Friday at a 7 p.m. contest with the Bears.

Grantsburg went to UWStout to participate in the Stout Sprawl. This is a tournament which has many teams from all WIAA divisions playing. Says Grantsburg Coach Deb Johnson, “The Menomonie Sprawl is a very important, sometimes painful step in our growth as a team each season. “I love to play top teams. It

exposes our weaknesses and gives us new challenges and areas to focus on. We cannot learn if we win easily. We need to be pushed to get better. “We lacked the tenacity to believe we were capable of beating bigger schools, so we definitely need to grow in that area. We played tough, battling back and forth before scoring 22 points with EC North, but we made too many unforced errors to seal the deal. We took Hudson to a tie-breaker set, and have beaten them in previous seasons, but again, fell short due

TURTLE LAKE—“The boys never quit Friday night,” said Webster Coach Andy Smith. “We knew that we would be in for a long night if we couldn't get some pressure on them. Down 30-7 at half, we were able to make a few adjustments as a coaching staff that seemed to help in the second half, but what really got us back into the game was the level of intensity that our team played with. The players took turns stepping up.” The Lakers got two scores in the first quarter. Both were from quarterback Noah Kahl to receiver Carson Schneider. The two point conversion was good on the first touchdown, but failed on the second. TL 14, Webster 0 after one. Webster got on the board midway through the second quarter on an eightyard run by Trevor Gustafson. Dustin Kern hit the PAT and the lead was in half. In a span of less than two minutes, Turtle Lake scored twice more, both on passes, one to Schneider, the other to Caden Torgerson. Both two point conversions were good and the Tigers were down 30-7 at the half.

“Turtle Lake has a great quarterback and receivers who can go up and get the ball,” commented Coach Smith. There was no scoring by either team in the third period. Webster scored first in the last period of play with Simeon Wilson catching a pass from Trevor Gustafson for a seven-yard score. The PAT failed. Two minutes later, the Gustafson to Wilson duo struck again for a score. The two point conversion failed. A 45-yard Laker TD pass to Torgerson, the two point conversion and the Lakers were back up by a 38-19 margin. As Coach Smith said at the beginning of this story, “The boys didn't quit.” Trevor Gustafson scored on a sevenyard run. The conversion failed. Under two minutes passed when Hunter Gustafson scored from 15 yards out. Dustin Kern made the PAT. TL 38, Webster 32. “With time running out, Brad Sigfrids snagged a pass from Trevor Gustafson for an eight-yard score. The PAT failed and the teams went to overtime. “Hunter Gustafson hit the walk off with a interception returned for a touchdown in overtime,” said an elated Coach Smith.

to unforced errors. Confidence and consistency will be points of emphasis. “We enjoy The Sprawl for the opportunity to compete early in the season, experiment with lineups and personnel, spend time together for some essential bonding, see new teams, and work through long tournament days. “We struggle with The Sprawl when we play on the textured rubber court that rips our skin and uniforms,” she said.

“Cody Peterson did a nice job of blocking down field that freed up some big runs,” praised Smith. “Brad Sigfrids had a big game at wide receiver and was able to come down with the game-tieing touchdown with 30 seconds to play. The offensive line made up of Andy Mortiz, Ross Daniels, Jacob Berg, Austin Moser and Harlo Olson gave QB Trevor Gustafson lots of time to pass and he was able to capitalize throwing three touchdowns. “Hunter Gustafson ran the ball hard all night and did an outstanding job considering he had only three days to learn the position after moving from tight end. “Defensively we were able to take the game to a new level with several players stepping up in big spots. Xavier Stanton got his first varsity interception that helped change the momentum. Our defensive line and backers were able to record a few sacks that really turned the game around. “We scored 31 points in the fourth quarter and hopefully this moment is something the players will be able to use later in life. Never give up.” The Tigers host the Grantsburg Pirates on Friday night. Game time is 7 p.m.

VOLLEYBALL: Burnett County teams

She also noted the players are not yet used to the early hours as summer comes to an end. “Overall, however, it is a good and necessary part of our season.” Grantsburg beat Cadott, Cochrane-Fountain City and New Richmond by 2-0 scores. River Valley fell victim to the Pirates 2-1. The Pirates faced Eau Claire North and Hudson two times (due to the brackets), losing 2-0 twice to North, and losing 2-0 and 2-1 to Hudson. Siren went to the Northern Quad at Northwood where they defeated the host Evergreens, Birchwood and Solon Springs, to complete a sweep. No stats were available at press time. Webster hosted Spooner in a scrimmage at Webster. Coach Stefanie Janssen said in regards to last year's JV players coming to Varsity, “I think they did pretty well today. They got an opportunity to play together (with last year's returning varsity). The freshmen and sophomores are working well together and finding their line ups.” “Next week, we play Frederic at Frederic and Grantsburg here, competition right from the start.” Siren will not have played on Tuesday night, where as Grantsburg will have hosted Unity and Webster will have traveled to Frederic. On Thursday, Grantsburg goes to Webster and Siren hosts St. Croix Falls. Next Tuesday, Webster is at Luck and Siren goes to Unity. The Pirates are idle. Varsity match times are 7:15 p.m.

off a five-yard TD pass from Anderson to David MacKean. The freshman Jared VanWatermuelen stepped in to attempt the extra point, and sent it sailing through the uprights to put the Pirates up 27-0. The next Pirate score was an 11-yard run to pay dirt by John Chenal. The PAT failed to bring it to 33-0. On the ensuing kick-off, John Chenal laid a big hit on Frederic kick returner, forcing a fumble to give the ball right back to the Pirates. With 6:23 left in the half, Anderson and Chenal hook up for a 55-yard pass play to light up the scoreboard once again. The PAT is good to put the Pirates up 40-0. John Chenal got loose one more time this half, taking it 60 yards to score his final touchdown of the night. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good to make it 47-0. The Pirates weren’t done yet. This time it was Levi Miller scoring from 16 yards out. The PAT was good to end the scoring at 54-0 at the break. “We made a few mistakes on both sides of the ball in the first quarter, but did a nice job of cleaning things up after the first couple of series,” Hale said. “John Chenal once again had a huge performance scoring six times in only playing one half. The offensive line of Kalvin Watt, Hauk Moritz, Tyler Stevens, Tanner Berger and Ramsey Clark did a good job of executing and opening some nice holes for John. “Defensively, Leo Chenal had a great game and showed flashes of his ability with some of the big hits he made.” The Pirates racked up 381 yards in total offense while holding Frederic to just 81. John Chenal tallied 197 rushing yards on 11 carries, followed by Miller with 28 yards on three carries. Leo Chenal led the way on defense with seven hard hitting solo tackles and three assists. Next was John Chenal with four solos and two assists, followed by little brother Gabe Chenal with three solos and four assists. Bryce Roufs and Tyler Stevens each had two solos and two assists to round out the top defensive performances. The Pirates are 2-0 on the season as they head into conference play. The will travel north to Webster this Friday night to take on the Tigers. Game time is 7 p.m.

St. Croix Casinos’ Turtle Cup TURTLE LAKE—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 Wednesday, Aug. 23 at Cumberland Golf Course, carried on the tradition set over the past 21 years, raising $5,000 for the American Diabetes Association. Twenty-six teams participated in this year’s Turtle Cup. Finishing first with a score of 55 was the WJMC/ WAQE/FOX team. In second place with a score of 59 was the Viking Coca-Cola team. The third-place team,

scoring 62, was the Sysco Foods team. Perennial lastplace finishers, Impressive Print, didn’t disappoint, pulling up the rear with a 99. But, the real winner for the day was the ADA. “Everyone’s family has been touched by diabetes,” said St. Croix Casinos CEO Leva “Dino” Oustigoff, Jr, while addressing golfers at the post-tournament awards dinner. “Thank you to all of you who came out to golf today to support the work of the American Diabetes Association. Without all of you, the Turtle Cup wouldn’t be possible.” Oustigoff and St. Croix Casinos Assistant Director of Marketing Shaurette Schoonover presented the $5,000 Turtle Cup donation to Susan Klimek of the American Diabetes Association’s Minnesota Affiliate. “I’m honored to be here today and thank you for your annual support,” Ms. Klimek said. “Currently, there 29 million Americans with diabetes and another three percent of the population with pre-diabetes. It’s through your generous support that we are able fund research and healthcare programs for people with diabetes.” Over its 22-year history, the Turtle Cup has raised more than $113,000 for the ADA.

Susan Klimek of the American Diabetes Association receives the $5,000 Turtle Cup donation check from St. Croix Casino’s CEO Dino Oustigoff.

10 treatments seniors should avoid (or question) BY JEFF ANDERSON CONSUMER REPORTS

As consumers and advocates for our older loved ones, it’s crucial to stay informed, ask questions and get second opinions if necessary. America’s payper-service model of health insurance encourages providers to prescribe every test, procedure and intervention that could be plausibly justified. The result is that many seniors are over-tested, over-treated and over-medicated. Some medical tests and interventions just don’t make sense for seniors. In collaboration with over 500,000 physicians in medical specialty societies, the Consumer Reports and the Choosing Wisely initiative created resources for consumers and physicians to engage in important conversations about the overuse of medical tests and procedures that provide little benefit and in some cases harm. Recently, the Choosing Wisely campaign released a list of tests or procedures to question, highlighting potentially unnecessary and sometimes harmful care provided in the United States.

Caregivers need recharge time BY JANE MAHONEY, OLDER AMERICAN’S ACT CONSULTANT GREATER WISCONSIN AGENCY ON AGING RESOURCES (GWAAR)

As a caregiver, you know how important it is to take care of yourself so you have the energy needed to care for your loved one. Without taking time for yourself, you are at risk for burnout, depression and physical illness. The importance of finding ways to “recharge your battery” cannot be stressed enough. If it has been so long that you can’t remember what it is that gives you energy and feeds your soul, here are some suggestions to consider. • Attend a caregiver conference. • Go for a walk – around the block, at the gym, or find a path in your home. • Take a bubble bath. • Read a fun book in your favorite chair. • Call a friend you haven’t talked with in awhile. • Meditate. • Listen to music – just listen, don’t do anything else. • Make music – play piano, guitar, sing. • Have lunch or coffee with a friend. • Write – a journal, poem, book, letter. • Play a game of golf – on a golf course, not the computer. • Participate in an exercise class. • Go for a bike ride. • Play cards. • Go to a movie – with a friend or alone. • Bird watching. • Visit someone. • Scrapbook. • Put a puzzle together. • Sew or do a craft.

• Go to a fair, antique show or to the races. Now that you have some ideas of what you’d like to do to recharge, how can you make it a reality? Dream it, plan it, do it! Choose an activity monthly, weekly or even daily. Write it on your calendar and keep it a priority to follow through! If you are a 24-7 caregiver, this will take additional planning and possibly additional money. It is well worth it. (How can you put a price on your health?) When you live with the person you are caring for you will need to be creative in your planning. Sometimes you can re-energize yourself by doing something special in your home while your loved one is napping or engaged in an activity that holds his/her attention for a predictable amount of time. Resist your urge to always fill this time with chores and, instead, treat yourself to “you time.” For other activities, you may need to have someone watch your loved one while you get your well-deserved respite. Several options are available to you including: • Hiring someone privately. • Contacting a home care agency such as using a volunteer, asking a neighbor, relative or friend to stay with your loved one while you get away. • Take your loved one to an adult day program. Taking care of yourself is so very important, not only to your own self, but to the person you are caring for and all the people who love and care about you! Don’t put it off another day. Find ways to recharge so that you can be the best caregiver you can be. If you need any information and assistance regarding the above options, please call the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin at 1-877-485-2372.

Manage chronic health conditions Medicare includes chronic care management services to better manage his health conditions with Medicare Connected Care. Wayne is in his early 70s, has diabetes and a history of high blood pressure. He was overwhelmed trying to manage both conditions at the same time. His doctor told him that Medicare includes chronic care management services to better manage his health conditions. Now, a healthcare professional helps Wayne keep track of his medical history, medications, and all the doctors he sees. Like Wayne, about two-thirds of people with Medicare have two or more chronic conditions. In fact, about a third of people with Medicare have four or more chronic conditions. If you live with two or more chronic conditions – like arthritis, asthma, depression, diabetes, osteoporosis and high blood pressure that have lasted, or are expected to last, at least a year – Medicare may pay for a healthcare provider’s help to manage those conditions. Chronic care management may include: • At least 20 minutes a month of chronic care management services. • Personalized help from a dedicated healthcare professional, like a doctor, nurse or physician’s assistant,

who will work with you to create a care plan based on your needs and goals. • Care coordinated between your doctor, pharmacy, specialists, testing centers, hospitals and other services. • Phone check-ins between visits to keep you on track. • Emergency access to a healthcare professional, 24 hours per day, seven days per week. • Expert help with setting and meeting your health goals. You may have to pay a monthly copayment for chronic care management services. If you have supplemental insurance or Medicaid, they may help pay the monthly costs. Wayne now feels reassured knowing he can make contact with a healthcare professional regardless of the time of day or day of week, and has his high blood pressure and diabetes under control. Get the connected care you need – talk to your doctor or healthcare professional to see if you’re eligible for chronic care management. Healthcare professionals and community partners can learn more by visiting the Connected Care page at go.cms.gov/ccm.

Pneumonia shot covered by Medicare Part B Did you know that 674,000 Americans go to the emergency room with pneumonia every year? Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by pneumococcal disease, which can also cause blood infections and meningitis. The bacteria that causes pneumococcal disease spreads by direct person-to-person contact. There’s a vaccine to help prevent pneumonia, but only 64 percent of adults 65 and older have ever gotten it. Medicare can help protect you from pneumococcal infections. The pneumococcal shot is the best way to help prevent these infections. Medicare Part B covers the shot and a second shot one year after you get the first shot. You may be at a higher risk for these infections if

you: • Are 65 or older. • Have a chronic illness (like asthma, diabetes, or lung, heart, liver, or kidney disease). • Have a condition that weakens your immune system (like HIV, AIDS, or cancer). • Live in a nursing home or other long-term care facility. • Have cochlear implants or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. • Smoke tobacco. Preventing pneumonia is easy – get your pneumococcal shot today.

Lease provisions may void a rental agreement BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

In dealing with issues between landlords and tenants, it is always important to obtain a copy of the rental agreement, also called a lease. The rental agreement generally controls what can be done by the tenant or the landlord. The rental agreement explains the tenant’s rights. Federal and state laws also restrict the rights of a landlord and a tenant. For instance, a lease could not restrict anyone who is disabled from renting an apartment. Wisconsin law provides 10 general provisions that a landlord cannot put in a rental agreement. If a rental agreement has any one of these provisions, the landlord cannot enforce the entire rental agreement. The tenant may vacate the apartment and not pay any more rent. This is true even if the landlord never uses or enforces these provisions. The following 10 clauses will void the lease if the rental agreement: (a) Allows the landlord to evict a tenant by means other than after the landlord obtains a court order to evict the tenant. (b) Accelerates the rent payments, if the tenant does not pay rent or otherwise does not follow the terms of the rental agreement. (c) Waives the landlord’s duty to try and rent the apartment to another tenant, if a tenant breaks the lease. (d) If a dispute arises, allows the landlord under the rental agreement to have: (1) A court enter a judgment against the tenant without the tenant being able to object to that judgment or participate in the court hearing; (2) The tenant pay the attorney’s fees or other costs of the landlord. (e) Relieves the landlord from paying for property damage or personal injuries caused by the landlord’s negligent acts or failure to act. (f) Imposes liability on a tenant for injuries or damages which are: (1) Clearly beyond the tenant’s control; (2) Caused by a natural disaster;

or (3) Caused by a person other than the tenant or the tenant’s guests. (g) Waives the requirement that the apartment must be fit or habitable when the tenant first moves in or removes the requirement that the landlord maintain the unit while the tenant lives there; (h) Allows the landlord to take certain actions, such as increasing the rent, because the tenant contacts the police or health or safety service personnel. (i) Allows the landlord to evict the tenant for a crime committed on the rental property and the rental agreement does not include the notice of domestic abuse protections that a landlord must include in a rental agreement; or (j) Allows the landlord to evict the tenant solely based on a crime when the tenant or someone who lawfully lives with the tenant is a victim of that crime. Under Wisconsin state law, the above provisions cannot be in a rental agreement. Each case presents unique facts which should be interpreted by an attorney who can provide specific legal advice. Tenants who find one of these provisions in a lease should consult with an attorney prior to taking any action. The above information is provided for general information purposes only.

Protect your Medicare by protecting your Medicare number

Are you a bargain hunter? Always looking for the best deal or ready for the next best thing? If someone offered you a stateof-the-art arthritis kit and said Medicare would cover it, would you be interested? There are lots of benefits that come with aging, and discounts are one of them. However, discounts and deals that sound too good to be true are one way that fraudsters may try to steal your identity. When someone steals or unlawfully uses personal information like your Social Security number or your Medicare number, it’s called identity theft. The number of identity theft victims age 65 or older increased from 2.1 million in 2012 to 2.6 million in 2014. In fact, thieves consider your Medicare number and other protected health information more valuable than credit card information because people can reuse them to bill Medicare for services that you didn’t get. When people steal your identity and bill Medicare for items or services you didn’t get, it drives up costs for everyone. The Medicare organization fights healthcare fraud, waste and abuse every day. An important part of that is preventing identity theft. Right now, your Medicare number is based on a Social Security number – yours or someone else’s. Starting in April 2018, Medicare will replace the Social Security-based Medicare number with a new Medicare number, and will mail you a new Medicare card with your new number. You don’t have to do anything to get your new card and new number. Please note: Medicare does not call you and ask for personal information for you to get your new card. Remember, the first and best line of defense against fraud is you.

The Medicare 101 presentation will help you better understand your options and Medicare coverage, making you a well-informed and in control healthcare consumer. If you need transportation assistance please call the ADRC of NW WI five days in advance at 877-485-2372.

AVOID: Treatments CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10

but they can do great harm and have been linked to increased risk of stroke and early death. Non-chemical approaches should be exhausted before antipsychotics are tried. (American Geriatrics Society)

Using antibiotics to treat urinary tract infection when symptoms aren’t present The presence of bacteria in the urinary tract without the presence of symptoms has been found not to be dangerous, and the use of antibiotics in these situations does more harm than good. (American Geriatrics Society)

Use of opioids for migraine except as last resort Drugs such as Vicodin, Percocet, codeine, or morphine can actually make headaches worse in the longterm. (American Geriatrics Society)

Leaving active implantable deﬁbrillators in hospice patients Hospice patients may still have an implantable defibrillator that’s active. In hospice patients the defibrillator rarely prevents death, but can be painful for dying patients and traumatic for caregivers. Defibrillators should be deactivated when they no longer play a role in the goals of care. (American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine)

Caregivers have rights, too BY JANE MAHONEY, OLDER AMERICAN’S ACT CONSULTANT GREATER WISCONSIN AGENCY ON AGING RESOURCES (GWAAR)

It happens gradually. She needs a little help balancing the checkbook. There are other bills on the counter not getting paid. The layer of ice on roads and sidewalks leaves you nervous about her falling, so you stop for her groceries and accompany her to appointments. You notice that her floors are dirty and there is a laundry basket of clothes waiting to be washed. You do more and more for her and soon find yourself making daily phone calls or visits to help. You have become a caregiver. Your mother could not live at home alone without your help. The next things you notice involve your own life. You may find yourself asking, “When was the last time I had lunch with my friends? When did I start eating fast food so often? I used to love going for walks, but how long has it been? And, why do I feel so grumpy, angry and frustrated? The answers are enmeshed with your new “job” that you didn’t realize you had. Caregiving for a loved one is like another job. You choose to do it and truly want to do it, but when you put your own life and needs on the backburner, you can run into trouble. Caregiving can consume your time, thoughts and energy and it can chip away at your physical and emotional health. But don’t dismay, you can be a healthy caregiver! You have rights as a caregiver and following these rights will keep you healthy and help you give better care to your loved one, too.

ADRC offers workshop on preventing falls BURNETT COUNTY—Are you an older adult with a fear of falling? Have you had one or more falls in the last year? There is still time to register and attend “Stepping On,” the ADRC Fall Prevention Workshop. This workshop will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. on Mondays from Sept. 11 to Oct. 23 at Lakeside Community Lutheran Church, just north of the county roads A&H intersection. Throughout the workshop, participants receive support

Use of topical gels to treat nausea for hospice patients Topical gels that are often used in hospice care have not been shown to be effective. More effective routes of administration should be used. (American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine)

Routine colonoscopies for people over 75 except in special circumstances Colonoscopies are costly and carry risks including infections. Routine tests may not be warranted for people over 75. (U.S. Preventative Services Task Force)

Caregiver rights For all you caregivers out there, please read and follow these rights. The ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin reminds you that you have the right to: • Take care of yourself without any feelings of guilt. By maintaining your own health, you will be happier, healthier and a better caregiver for your loved one! • Continue having a life of your own – one that does not include your role as a caregiver. Make it a priority to keep doing the things you love, knowing that you are also doing all you can for your loved one. • Feel and express the strong emotions that caregiving produces. It is normal to feel anger, fear, loss and depression. Acknowledge these feelings and find someone to talk to about them. • Refuse feelings of guilt that may be put upon you by your loved one or others. Do not allow yourself to be manipulated by guilt or other negative feelings. • Accept the positive feelings – appreciation, love, forgiveness, gratitude – bestowed on you by your loved one and others who see your difficult task. Caregiving is hard work and you should feel happy and proud to be a caregiver. • Seek help from others, whether from friends, relatives or paid help. No one can do it all. • Accept help in order to maintain your own life and individuality. You will need this life to return to when your days of caregiving end. If you need help finding resources for home care services, support groups or other caregiving issues, please call the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin at 1-877-485-2372.

Hospice care provides compassion and support at a time when it’s needed the most.

and information from trained leaders, local guest experts and fellow participants. According to the National Council on Aging, studies show that a combination of behavior changes can significantly reduce falls among older adults. These changes, all covered in the Stepping On

Workshop, include: • Participating in a physical activity regimen with balance, strength training and flexibility components. • Consulting with a health professional about getting a fall risk assessment. • Having medications reviewed periodically.

• Getting eyes and ears checked annually. • Making sure the home environment is safe and supportive. There is a small cost for this seven-week workshop. For more information or to sign up for the class, contact Carrie Myers at the ADRC of NW WI at 877-485-2372.

Faster Healing

Routine prostate screening for men over 75 except in special circumstances The results of prostate screenings in older men often results in the commencement of aggressive treatment, but evidence suggests that this kind of treatment is often unnecessary that it would have been better for many seniors if they had never been tested at all. Testing is only warranted in special circumstances, such as when the elderly patient has a history of prostate cancer. (U.S. Preventative Services Task Force)

Mammograms for women over 70 except in special circumstances Aggressive breast cancer treatment has not been shown to extend the life or improve the quality of life of women over 70, so the mammogram test itself is unnecessary in most cases. (U.S. Preventative Services Task Force)

OBITUARY

Thomas McAlpine Thomas (Tom) Russell McAlpine of Grantsburg passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Tuesday, Aug. 22, his 77th birthday, after a courageous battle with ALS disease. Please join us for a celebration of Tom’s life from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9 at T-Dawgs Bar & Grill, located at 429 WI-70 in Grantsburg. A light lunch will be served. Cash bar. Tom graduated high sschool from South St. Paul iin 1959. He maintained m many friendships with the g guys from his class and ffrom South St. Paul in g general. He was one of the ffounding fathers of “the lland,” where many people llearned to hunt. He truly e embraced outdoor sportsm manship. He worked for Traveler’s Insurance for almost 25 years and enjoyed an early retirement at his lake home near Grantsburg. He was able to live life to the fullest by completely embracing his hobbies, and even recently taking his dream trip to Alaska on a cruise ship with his wife, Ilene. Tom was a passionate bowhunter, golfer, fisherman, dog lover, cribbage player and outdoorsman whom many knew, loved, and looked up to. He always knew how to have fun for the sake of having fun. There was never a dull moment if Tom was around. From practical jokes to songs on the banjo, to rides in the car to look for deer, or a trip to the casino, Tom was always active, engaged and up to something action-packed. For many years, Tom enjoyed time with family on his lake home in Wisconsin. The grandchildren grew up coming to Little Wood Lake for every summer holiday from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Family will remember the familiar sound and image of the “green machine” driving up the hill from the lake, the dogs following behind and Tom’s famous “heeeheeehoooo!” Tom led a great life in Grantsburg and made lots of friends through golf leagues, weekly card games, coffee with the “boys” and hunting. His presence will be greatly missed, but his impact will never be forgotten. He is survived by his wife, Ilene, of Grantsburg; brother, Patrick McAlpine (Judy) of Palisades, Minn.; brother, James Jerikovsky of South St. Paul. He is also survived by his daughter, Jeanne (Jeff) Butler and grandson, Jeffrey, of South St. Paul; son, Thomas McAlpine, Jr. and grandchildren, Amanda, Michelle, and Thomas of Woodbury, Minn.; daughter, Nicole (Marc) Carrigan and grandchildren, Brady and William of Rosemount; stepson, Jeremy Kozumplik (Jody Schutts) of Menomonie; and granddaughter, Onnalee (Earl) Wayne and great-granddaughter, Peyton, of Wilson, Wis.; and lots of extended family. Tom is preceded in death by his mother, Katherine Louise (Heinz) Jerikovsky; his biological father, Russell Martin McAlpine; and his stepfather, Nicholas James Jerikovsky. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred. Online condolences may be expressed at www.swedberg-taylor.com. Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Grantsburg assisted the family.

DEATHS July 7, 2017, Nadin Helena Mudryj, 84, Town of La Follette. Aug. 11, 2017 Edith Milner Johnson, 97, Grantsburg. Aug. 13, 2017 Douglas Warren Larson, 77, Grantsburg.

Growing our faith

Kobi Phillipps, Pastor Intern New Hope Lutheran Church Grantsburg, WI

Growing season is coming to an end here in Northern Wisconsin. It will soon be time for the harvest. However, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing season is still going strong. In John 15:1-6, Jesus tells His disciples that He is the vine and that His Father (God) is the vinedresser or Master Gardener. God wants us to grow and bear spiritual fruit. What are the main points we as Christians should take from Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; words? (1) That we must stay attached to the vine (Jesus). Some of the ways we do that is through prayer, reading Scripture, and staying connected with other Christians. (2)

Remember, we are the branches and God is the Master Gardener. That means we must be committed and submitted to God; asking and allowing Him to grow us through guiding our lives and the choices we make. We must understand that on a vine the branches are almost completely indistinguishable from one another. No branch can claim precedence or privilege over any other branch. (3) That when Jesus speaks of Himself as the vine, it shows the inter-relationship of God, Jesus and the community in the life of faith as well. If you are not in a relationship

with Jesus know that He and the Father love you and are waiting eagerly for you to invite Them into your life. All you need to do is talk to Jesus asking Him into your life and to show you He is real if you have doubts. He will do the rest and, believe me, it is amazing. Your life will change; here on earth and for all eternity. God will have a harvest day. No one knows the day or time that will happen. Only those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be harvested.
