Bat ﬁght leads to high speed chase

Norine hits back on television story

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY—A Webster man has been charged with aggravated battery of an elderly person after he allegedly attacked a 72-year-old man with a billy club during an altercation in Webster. He then led police on a highspeed chase that ended with authorities finding him underneath a boat. Cowan J. Bruss, 29, Webster, has been charged with aggravated battery of an elderly person, a class H felony and attempting to flee or elude an officer, a class I felony. He was also charged with three misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and resisting an officer. According to the criminal complaint, on Sept. 4 dispatch received a report of a “fight involving bats” at Affordable Auto on Highway 35. Sheriff deputies arrived around 1:10 p.m. to speak

BURNETT COUNTY—Former Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine is challenging claims made by a Twin Cities television station. Those claims suggested Norine asked a number of former female defendants for dates using social media, according to a story aired last weekend. KMSP-TV interviewed several former defendants and Norine about interactions that occurred through social Bill Norine media. Reporters from KMSP spoke with Angela L. Johnson who currently has an open case for possession of THC and drug paraphernalia. Online court records show she was initially also charged with possession of methamphetamine. Norine allegedly asked Johnson out through Facebook Messenger. KMSP reports Norine sent a message saying, “let me buy you dinner and we’ll compare notes. But if you would rather not I will understand.” The station contacted six different women through social media and all replied that Norine contacted them for dates through Facebook. Norine, in a statement to the Burnett County Sentinel refutes the claims. “This is a small community. Many of the

WIS 70 resurface and beam guard installation project underway Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has begun work on a 4.6 mile resurfacing project on WIS 70 from WIS 35 to Viola Lake Road in Burnett County. Improvements include milling a 2.75-inch layer of asphalt, paving 3 inches back, widening the paved portion of the shoulder from three feet to five feet, replacing beamguard at

the Clam Lake Narrows, and placing new signs within the project area. To improve safety and lessen sound impacts, the project will also include new sound-dampening “mumble strips.” Monarch Paving is the prime contractor for the $2.4 million project. Eighty percent of the project will be paid with federal transportation funds

NORINE: Wisconsin Department of Justice conﬁrms investigation into allegations CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

people I prosecuted are my friends, many I have known for many years. Some are my friends on Facebook,” Norine said. “I did not see the piece but the person who was interviewed added me as her Facebook friend earlier this year. We have exchanged some messages back and forth. I have never spent time with her in person. I bear no ill will toward her whatsoever. And I regret if I made her feel uncomfortable, which was never my intent. “I was not handling that person’s cases, and she knows that, even acknowledging that fact in one of her messages. In fact her cases are being handled by a completely independent Special Prosecutor over whom I had no supervisory control whatsoever. Fox News knows this as well, a fact they apparently chose to ignore. “I have violated no ethical rule that I am aware of. And indeed, I have never had a disciplinary violation in 30 years of practice. In that regard, Wisconsin Supreme Court Rule 20:4:2 does not prohibit a lawyer from communicating with a party to a case, even one who

may be represented by counsel; it only prohibits communicating about the case—the ‘subject of the matter’ of the litigation with such person. There is then no ethical rule prohibiting communication on matters that do not involve the pending case. Nor could there be such a rule. Prosecution is much more than bringing charges. Many of the defendants I have prosecuted were also victims in other pending cases. In such situations, I am obligated to communicate with them. I also sat on the Drug Court Team for ten years, where I often was called upon to vote and even on occasion offer guidance to defendants with pending matters. Never did I discuss anyone’s pending case with them on social media. And the record bears that out.” Norine, who retired at the end of August after serving 10 years as Burnett County District Attorney is upset about the light he was painted in during the television story. “What hurts me the most, however, is the many false or misleading narratives undertaken by Mr. Lyden in his report,” Norine said in his statement to the Sentinel. “He lied in order to

obtain access to my office. And what is most devastating to me is his floating the false notion that I retired because of this incident. That is utterly false, he knows it is false; yet I have reason to believe he told at least one of my Facebook friends that I did not retire but essentially resigned in disgrace. That is completely and demonstrably false and defamatory. In fact, I had planned to retire in February of this year, as the Wisconsin Department of Administration well knows, but was asked to stay by members of law enforcement. But August marked my 10 year mark, at which point I turned 65 years old. I was also having serious vision and other health issues that were coming to a head at that time. “Much apparently was made of the power I had to bring criminal charges,” Norine said. “But of course I did not have unfettered and unlimited power to ‘bring criminal charges’ when I was the DA, because the ethical code itself significantly circumscribes that power, providing that no prosecutor may ‘file charges without a good faith belief that probable cause exists’ - Supreme Court Ruling 20:3:8. Bringing charges

without a good faith belief that probable cause exists is something I never did in my ten years as DA, nor was I ever once accused of doing so by any of my colleagues.” Video posted online shows a reporter Tom Lyden asking Norine about his behavior at his office earlier this year. “We were made aware you’ve been asking out women that are appearing in your court,” Lyden states. “No I haven’t done that, I believe,” Norine says. Lyden continues to read off the messages to him and says, “the DA’s office is not a dating service.” Norine responds that he knows that and has never taken any of the women out. “I’ve never taken any of them anywhere, never seen them.” Norine said. The Wisconsin Department of Justice confirmed Tuesday morning they are investigating these allegations against Norine. The Burnett County District Attorney’s office did not give any comment on the allegations and County Chairman Don Taylor did not immediately respond or offer comment.

with the 72-year-old male victim, who showed them three injuries from the altercation on his right hand, right temple and right knee. He described Bruss to the deputy as “twitchy” and alleged he was “high on something.” The two were talking about cars when Bruss asked the victim if one of the cars was for sale. He told Bruss it wasn’t, saying it belonged to his son. Bruss yelled an expletive followed by, “Everything

is for sale!” He exited the store and came back with a billy club and began striking the victim until he hit the ground. A third man attempted to help the victim, when the victim grabbed his own small bat and struck Bruss in the head. As police were en route to the scene, Bruss fled. Another deputy intitated a pursuit of Bruss. They were traveling about 85 mph over the course of approximately 3.3 miles. Bruss turned onto Cedar Street and then onto Trout Avenue. When he reached a dead end, he exited his car and ran into the woods. While he was running south, dispatch requested the K-9 unit, but they were unavailable. Webster Police

Chief Stephenie Wedin spotted the suspect and saw him crawl up underneath a boat that was upside down on a trailer. One of the deputies flipped over the boat exposing Bruss. He actively began resisting and the deputy deployed his taser once. When Bruss continued to resist, the taser was deployed a second time. Bruss was then taken into custody and transported to Burnett Medical Center. Bruss is scheduled for intake on Oct. 10 for a trio of traffic cases.

Remembering the 343 – The 6th Annual Memorial Stair Climb

W O N G N I HIR 1ST AND 2ND SHIFT PRODUCTION 3RD SHIFT SANITATION MAINTENANCE Competitive Employee Beneﬁt Package Includes

Siren firefighters Paul Cornelison, Jack Taylor, and John Dalsveen traveled to Lambeau Field early Saturday morning to climb the stadium steps in remembrance of the 343 firefighters that gave their lives in the line of duty on Sept. 11, 2001. Along with nearly 3,000 participants, they broke the climb into separate waves with 343 climbers in each round. The climbers wore badges with the names of the fallen firefighters, and as they reached the final steps they would ring a bell and shout the name on their badge. This happened at the equivalent of the 78th floor of the World Trade Center towers – the highest floor the firefighters reached on 9/11. “It was challenging but hearing the sound of the bell ringing

non-stop gave me the energy to keep pushing forward so that I could get there and ring it, too.” said Dalsveen. The event raised over $110,000 dollars that will be donated to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support the families of fallen firefighters. For more information on how to participate in this event next year, visit http://www.piercemfg.com/ climb.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2018

Wasting time with dog videos The crispness is back in the air as the days become shorter, and central air is no longer needed. Soon the heat will be running in our homes and we’ll be shoveling. What a downer, right? But that’s Wisconsin. On some days, we can have the joy of experiencing all four seasons. Then some weeks, we just have 20 degrees below with the sun shining. But right now, for a brief moment, we’re in the perfect fall weather. It will be October next week and I’ll need to buy a pumpkin. Y’know what I’ve been watching a lot of these days? Funny animal videos. They are just fantastic. There is a lot of content on the internet, and people use it for different things. It’s the largest source of Sentinel information that has ever existed, but that’s boring. Most people use Editor it to waste their time on things like Jonathan Richie playing games, social media or shopping. I choose animal videos. Did you know otters sleep on their back with their paws behind their heads while floating on the water? Those videos are great. The best ones are when the otter wakes up, rubs its eyes and is ready to take on the day. There’s another one where a man is running down a hall and turns quickly into a room. The video goes into slow motion as he exits the frame and two dogs with giant smiles go sliding across the screen. These videos are amazing, funny and a complete waste of time. I use them as a kind of reset. Also, I watch them because my apartment doesn’t allow dogs. Which is a real shame. Dogs are the best. They are loyal and they really only care about you. Yeah, the human cares about the dog, but that dog only knows the one human (the one that feeds them) – is their entire world. On this day in history. On Sept. 26, 1933, George Kelly Barnes brought the phrase G-Men into the mainstream. Barnes, also known as “Machine Gun” Kelly. The event was over-dramatized in the 1959 film “The FBI Story.” FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had filmmakers re-shoot scenes for the movie to ensure the FBI was viewed in the appropriate light. According to the FBI, “Machine Gun” Kelly was found in a decrepit Memphis residence. Some early press reports said that a tired, perhaps hungover Kelly stumbled out of his bed mumbling something like ‘I was expecting you.’ Another version of the event held that Kelly emerged from his room, hands-up, crying ‘Don’t shoot, G-Men! Don’t shoot!’ Either way, Kelly was arrested without violence.” Before that, people involved in criminal activity would refer to anyone who worked for the government as G-men. Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. See ya next week.

Still Fab at 76 “Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I’m sixty-four? You’ll be older too And if you say the word I could stay with you” Lyric, “When I’m 64” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney Paul McCartney was 15 when he wrote the start of what became the song “When I’m From the Publisher’s 64.” In the song, a Desk young lover is sharing his plans Tom Stangl for growing old i h hi i lf i with his girlfriend. The tune was written to be performed if the power went out during the early concerts of the band’s early days. It appeared on the Sgt. Pepper album because McCartney’s father turned 64 the year the album was released. It’s been a dozen years since Paul McCartney turned 64 and he shows no sign of slowing down. Earlier this month he released “Egypt Station,” his latest solo album that debuted at number one on the Billboard hot 200 album charts, the first number one album for McCartney since 1982’s “Tug of War.” If it seems like you have been

seeing and hearing more about McCartney lately, the new album is more than likely the reason. Sir Paul has made the rounds of the late-night talk shows and did pop up concerts at Abbey Road and Grand Central Station in New York City to promote the album. He continues to tour tirelessly, putting on a three-hour performance to sold out shows. As part of the album promotion, McCartney has been giving interviews as well. Since he is one of two surviving members of the Beatles, a band that defined pop culture for a generation or more, there is a lot to talk about. I read several of these articles and was struck by McCartney’s enduring love of performing. I don’t know his personal finances, but I imagine he truly doesn’t need the money anymore. In interviews, the topic of retirement invariably comes up, a notion that he brushes away. McCartney told an interviewer that he loves what he is doing and remains an optimist, believing that worrying is simply wasted energy. Besides, he is simply having too much fun to quit. As the baby boom generation ages into retirement, the urge (or necessity) to continue working remains strong with many. This has created some generational issues as younger people wait for their

opportunity to take over. I believe this is nothing new. Advances in healthcare have allowed people to not only live longer, but to have a higher quality of life as well. Eventually, this is going to be a much larger problem as older people require more and more care. But for now, it’s all good. As a boomer, I know a lot about “kicking the can” down the road for someone else to deal with in the end. I bought a copy of “Egypt Station” last week. Pretty good stuff from McCartney. Give a listen to the first single “Come On To Me” or the anti-bullying anthem (yes, that’s what it’s about) “Who Cares” are worth a listen. In my opinion, songs are written like they used to be and that’s why when McCartney comes out with an album the songs are deceptively simple, but sound complex. Compared to the standards they are judged against today, they are complex. Carry on, Paul. As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

Editor’s note: Leading up to the midterm elections, the Upper St. Croix Valley League of Women Voters has posed a series of questions to local candidates on issues important to northwest Wisconsin. BY KIM BUTLER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 28

Every time I read that Washington or Madison is trying to mess with my healthcare, my blood pressure rises. Healthcare is a deeply personal issue for me. As a mom, a co-owner Kim Butler of a small business, and a cancer survivor, I’ve been navigating this complex issue for decades. After living in the highly regulated state of Minnesota, we moved to Wisconsin 17 years ago and watched our premiums almost double, while coverage for many things I needed like prescriptions, asthma, and allergy treatment was no longer paid for. But I was lucky - my expensive Wisconsin insurance did cover me when I was diagnosed with Stage 3C breast cancer in 2006 (Stage 4 is Terminal.) I didn’t need a spaghetti fundraiser, but we watched the bills roll in. $6,000 for a shot I needed every two weeks, many hundreds of thousands of dollars for chemotherapy, radiation and surgeries. I am so thankful: thankful that I survived to see my children reach high school, and now start moving towards college, that we had the insurance to paid for my treatments, that I was able to drive myself to the Cities for radiation every day for six weeks - not all rural women can. But as my hair grew back, so did our premiums. I was denied coverage and ended up in the State’s High Risk pool. My kids went on Badgercare, and my husband found a cheap policy for himself. Three policies for a family of four! I have spoken to voters with similar cobbled-together insurance plans. This is no way to live. Then the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare came along. My premiums actually dropped and suddenly I had coverage for prescriptions, asthma visits, allergy testing. Yes, I have since seen our premiums rise, but knowing that I won’t be dropped is peace of mind for me and millions of other people. Knowing that my kids wont be tainted for the rest of their young lives by a childhood condition is peace of mind. The ACA is not perfect - we can blame insurance company lobbyists for that. But like most Wisconsinites, I believe we need to fix it, not throw it out. I know people are struggling with high premiums, but we haven’t seen a credible

alternative from Washington or Madison, and in fact, Governor Walker’s Attorney General Brad Schimel is involved in a lawsuit to eliminate the pre-existing clause. Governor Walker’s plan to cover pre-exisiting conditions falls short of the mark according to numerous sources. I am running to try to ease this stress for Wisconsin families. I want to open up Badgercare as a buy-in option for everyone. I’ve read this could save us up to 25 percent on monthly premiums. Thousands of people moving into Badgercare could bring down prices of other insurance plans. I’d like to eliminate the zip code prejudice that we face in our district. A few years ago, I ran my numbers through the online Marketplace, and realized I’d pay $400 a month less if I moved to Madison. In the 28th, we pay some of the highest rates in Wisconsin. We also depend heavily on subsidies that Sean Duffy and the Republicans have tried to eliminate. I would also like to create exchanges for small businesses to band together to enable them to provide affordable healthcare for their employees. Like Minnesota, I would like to take the Federal Medicaid expansion money. This was an additional 1.7 billion dollars that Governor Walker left on the table. Mental health care resources are severely limited in our District. There are no psychiatric beds, and police are tasked with driving people in crisis situations all the way to Winnebago County. Appointments for therapists aren’t available for months at some hospitals. Teen suicide is almost epidemic in Polk County. I did the Polk County Suicide Awareness Walk and it was heartbreaking to see the faces of so many young people, some of whom we knew from school. Substance abuse issues are often the result of mental health problems, and need treatment, not punishment. We need to increase education funding so our schools can afford psychologists and social workers, to identify kids who need treatment, and get them the help they need. I hope to work as an ally with our State Senator Patty Schachtner, who is a big advocate of mental health care and treatment options, to bring more mental health resources to our district. With more, targeted funding we can bring more dollars to this neglected part of the state. I hope to be able to ease the stress of health care for people in the 28th district, with concrete ideas, supported by many Democratic candidates.

We are hearing more and more that this state is facing a mental health crisis. In this part of the state, Chapter 51 transfers have become a huge problem for local law enforcement since the closure of the mental health facility in Cumberland. Because there are no mental health facilities to house mental health patients, in this area, a local law enforcement officer must transfer them to Winnebago, which is over 250 miles away. This leaves small towns down one vehicle and patrol officer and costs taxpayers thousands of dollars. Contracting with a facility in Minnesota or building a new mental health facility in Northwestern Wisconsin could lend a helping hand to some of these issues. I am more than willing to listen to any proposal to move this issue and any issue in the direction toward a solution. BY JAMES BOLEN REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR SENATE DISTRICT 25

As I go around the 25th Senate District, one of the top things I’ve been hearing is that people are concerned with the affordability of healthcare. Providing affordable, quality healthcare in a rural James Bolen area like ours is no easy task, and there is not one simple answer. Unfortunately, here in Wisconsin we will have to continue to clean up Washington’s mess. We must continue to use our Wisconsin ingenuity to navigate and innovate under the ever-changing federal standards. Governor Walker’s reinsurance plan promises to provide premium relief for those on the individual exchange who in the past were seeing their premiums increase substantially. In Madison, I will pursue innovative solutions to protect Wisconsinites from bearing the brunt of Washington’s tribulations. Badgercare currently provides affordable, quality healthcare for everybody under the federal poverty line. For children and pregnant women, Badgercare covers individuals whose income exceeds the federal poverty line – in some cases up to 306 percent of the FPL1. Badgercare is an effective program, and it helps some of Wisconsin’s most vulnerable citizens. In fact, Wisconsin is the only state to not accept Medicaid expansion and still cover all adults up to 100 percent of the federal poverty line. In other non-expansion SEE CANDIDATE VIEWS, PAGE 32

heart. I spent 35 years caring for mental health patients and children with cancer. It is heartbreaking to see patients and their families not only go through a serious illness, but have to jump through what seems like endless hoops dealing with insurance and insurance companies. Throughout my career, I was an advocate for my patients and helped them navigate insurance and helped them locate the resources to receive the care they needed. It doesn’t have to be this way. Gae Magnaﬁci There are ways to fix it, but it takes politicians who care more about people than they do their next election. First, we need more competition. In most aspects of life, competition breeds innovation and excellence. If there are more choices in healthcare and health insurance for consumers to choose from, the care and insurance products will get better and cheaper. This would be possible if we were able to shop for insurance across state lines. Transparency in healthcare is very important to me. I want to be able to go to a hospital or clinic website and find out how much a Dexa Scan costs, or how much I might pay for surgery. This allows patients to choose where they receive their medical care based on what they can afford and what their insurance plan will pay for. Patients should know how much their visit should cost – it should not be a surprise when the bill shows up in the mailbox. Small businesses and farmers face a unique situation when it comes to healthcare. They want to provide health insurance for their employees and families, but purchasing a plan for a small group of individuals is expensive. Much like units of government are able to join together to get a better deal on health insurance, small businesses and family farms should be able to do the same. I want small businesses and family farms to continue to succeed – this is one way that they would be able to reduce their costs, receive affordable health insurance, and subsequently stay in business. Badgercare should be a safety net for Wisconsin’s families in need of assistance. Badgercare should not, however, be a permanent solution. This is so that those in need are able to have access to quality healthcare while they are going through a tough time in their lives. When they are back on their feet with stable employment and health benefits, Badgercare should be reserved for the next Wisconsinite who needs a leg up.

School board hears referendum options JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN—The Siren School Board held their regular school board meeting followed by their budget hearing and annual meeting Monday night. They discussed the district’s financial status and possibly filling a drainage ditch. Siren Superintendent Kevin Shetler said the numbers offered were not final yet. “Now these are just guesses, we’re expecting revenue to be around that number – $7.191 million,” Shetler said. “And our total expenditures you can see there will be around $7.160 million.” Earlier in the meeting, the board heard from Managing Director at BAIRD Lisa Voisin. She presented options to the board regarding referendums and the tax levy. The levy debt from the 1998 referendum is scheduled to end in the spring of 2019. She explained that if they do not pass a referendum the tax levy for the school will drop and they will experience the “Frederic dip.” The school will receive less money from taxes and will have to find that money somewhere else. Voisin told the board their current tax levy is $790,000 and if they passed an $8.2 million referendum, the levy would remain at that $790,000 through the 2038-2039 school year. Voisin gave a number of other examples. She also explained to the board the timelines for getting referendums on the ballot. For example, if the board wanted a referendum on the spring primary ballot in Feb. 2019, they would have to have the resolution written and filed by Dec. 11. The resolution needs to be dollar and purpose specific. Shetler said these are all things the board needs to look at in the future. Drainage ditch Board Member Mark Pettis explained to the board that there is a drainage ditch running through the practice football field. “We are crossing our fingers every day in hopes that nothing happens,” Pettis said about players potentially getting injured. Pettis said the plan is to fill the ditch, level it off and seed it. They are looking for bids that do not exceed $20,000. The Board received a bid in the past, but it was so low that it would not cover the cost of materials. Associate Principal Wayne Koball said the ditch is about 300 feet long and 50 feet wide. If the ditch is filled, the field could also be used for soccer. School Board President Peggy Moore explained the school has to get any plan for filling the drainage ditch approved by the village. Koball responded saying if the Board gets the language of their proposal to fill the ditch, he will take it to the Village for approval. In other items: Koball presented the Board with the AHERA report. This report addresses asbestos checks in the school. Koball said this report is done every six months, and the single issue with the fume hood has already been resolved.

Webster’s Annual Meeting reports steady operations LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

WEBSTER—The annual meeting and budget hearing of the Webster School District on Monday, Sept. 24. The meeting started with a financial report from Superintendent Jim Erickson, then followed with several resolutions up for review. When presenting the budget summary, Erickson noted positive things about the Webster School District’s budget. The operating budget for the district comes from the tax levy and does not include any state aid. This is important, because state aid numbers can change. As an example of that, Erickson points to categorical aid. Categorical aid is awarded by the state or federal government and targets a specific program or group of pupils. “Categorical aid will go up this year. Two years ago, it was $200 per student, last year it was $400 per student, and it is $600 per student this year,” he said. “That covers our increase in costs this year. It’s tricky, because it’s for a biennium, so it is not guaranteed for the (second) year.” The Special Programs budget shows a balance of $41,407, in large part to the recent sale of a house built by Tiger Construction of the Technical Education Department. Another area that showed a significant positive balance was the Community Service fund, due to lower expenditures in summer school and after-school tutoring (Power Hour). Noting that the district currently has a general fund balance-to-expenditures ratio of 46.5 percent, Erickson said, “According to the (Department of Public Instruction), a healthy school is 20 percent. So overall I would say we are very good financially. “ Erickson reported that enrollment has remained steady in the past four years and is projected to continue that trend for the 2019-20 year. The current unofficial count is 666, which Erickson

says is on target with the district’s goals of maintaining between 640 and 700 pupils. “ We can accommodate that number pretty comfortably. It means two sections of everything in the high school, and three sections in the middle school where we want them. It keeps teachers full-time, which helps make this an attractive district to work.” After the budget report, the board voted on several resolutions that, according to state statute, are reviewed annually. The first of which was the resolution to authorize the school board to levy taxes for district operations. The projected amount for the 2018-19 school year is $6,379,948. This amount may be adjusted based upon school enrollment on the third Friday in September and the property valuation of Oct. 1, 2018. The District projects that the mill rate will in-

crease to $5.45 per $1000, which will increase the tax levy from last year by approximately $35,000. The numbers will not be final until Oct. 15 and are still is significantly lower than those of surrounding area schools. All of the following items remained unchanged from last year: authorization to borrow money to meet immediate operating expenses as needed, authorizing the sale of unneeded school property, to hire attorneys as necessary, to furnish textbooks, to furnish school lunches, to provide accident insurance to cover pupils. Additionally, salaries for school board members were set for the coming year. Reimbursement remains at $75 per meeting for board members, with $500 for president or clerk duties. Next year’s annual meeting and budget hearing are scheduled for Monday, Sept. 23, 2019.

The students have opportunities to use a laser, sublimation equipment, two 3D printers, six CNC machines, classroom full of computers as well as a traditional shop with manual equipment. They also can get certified in welding and an engineering software called SolidWorks.

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

WEBSTER— Shortly after the sun popped up on Saturday, Sept. 22, the Webster Schools said goodbye. “My classroom is leaving!” exclaimed Technical Education instructor Roy Ward, as the 1,400 square foot house began to make its journey. With a little help from Steve Arnevik, Tiger Construction took the house from the school to its new resting place with Paul and Mary Kelly of Sand Greens Golf Course. The house features two bathrooms, three bedrooms, custom cabinets, and an open concept kitchen, dining and living space. The vaulted great room’s centerpiece is a donated gas fireplace from CopyCat, and Richard Schultz helped wire the student-built house. In addition to CopyCat, the team had assistance from Wegner Cabinetry, Northwoods Lumber, ABC-Falun, Wausau Supply, K-Wood, Bob Lindburg, Richard Schultz, Earth Energies, Kevin Ernst, Dennis Quinn, Quinn Seaman, Gemini, Petersen Construction, and Jackson Plumbing. Tiger Construction also has an Advisory, who provided direction and suggestion. The house is the latest in a line of projects to carry the Tiger pawprint. Tiger Mfg, founded in 2006, is Webster High School’s student-run business. Students learn great work and technical skills without having to pay for project materials. The start-up loan taken to start the venture was paid within six years through a combination of donations partnerships and finished products without touching school funds or tax dollars. One Tiger Mfg. client is Nexen, who also provides technical and material assistance. Gene Stanchfield, a retired Nexen employee volunteers for Tiger Mfg. “Nexen is always on speed dial and willing to support us with technical assistance, material, tooling, they even send an employee over to help as needed,” said

Environmental review of water project in Grantsburg MADISON—The Village of Grantsburg is an applicant for funding through the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program (SDWLP) to address deficiencies in their public drinking water system. The project entails the replacement of undersized water mains throughout the Village of Grantsburg. Activities related to this project are minor actions under Chapter NR 150, Wis. Admin. Code, for which no environmental analysis is required; however, in accordance with the SDWLP federal

requirement 40 C.F.R. Section 35.3580, an environmental review must be conducted prior to funding this project. The SDWLP has determined that the project will not result in significant adverse environmental effects and no further environmental review or analysis is needed before proceeding with funding the project. The SDWLP is soliciting public comments regarding this decision and potential environmental impacts of this project. Written or verbal comments are encouraged.

Provide comments to Kevin Olson, Community Financial Assistance, Department of Natural Resources, CF/2 101 S Webster St., PO Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707, or 608266-9955 by Oct. 2. Based on the comments received, the SDWLP may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the funding process. The analysis would summarize the Department of Natural Resources’ consideration of the impacts of the project and reasonable alternatives.

Interfaith’s Christmas for Kids lists available Oct. 1 BARB BLODGETT, INTERFAITH CAREGIVERS OF BURNETT COUNTY

Everyone is saying, where did summer go. I think we had summer last week and maybe for a few days in August. We have to remember that “We love it here” even some of our seasons are longer or shorter than we would like. We have had an amazing “whatever” season and now we are already into Christmas for Kids time. Hard to believe in less than three months we will be ready to give Christmas gifts to the kids who would be having a not-so-happy Christmas. Actually, I can’t wait. Of course, I just send the wish lists out and be sure that everyone understands the rules and has the information they need. The lists are mailed back to us in a self-addressed envelope

and we do the rest. The toys will be sorted, the shopping will be done, the bags will be packed and it will be time to pick up the toys. Odette Holter is our Christmas for Kids coordinator. She is truly amazing at seeing that the perfect gifts go into the right bags so each child receives pretty much the toys they have asked for. We do include toys for those who want or need them. Already I am excited. We will be able to fulfill lists for children from infant to 14. The more specific the list, the better chance the kids have to get the gifts they want. We do not give out gift cards for clothes or toys. And again, we can only give to parents, guardians or custodial persons who have the children living with them. Just a note: we do not give anyone a snow-

mobile, motor scooter, expensive PlayStation games, Ipads or – well, you get the idea. Wish lists are available Oct. 1. Someone who has custody of the children must call and request a list. I will send it and it must be returned no later than Nov. 13. Distribution date is Dec. 18 at the Webster Fire Hall from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Write the dates down. I will always remind anyone who calls, but they are important to write them down. We need donations of toys and clothing and of course money. There are always last-minute gifts we have to buy or clothing in sizes that we don’t have and cash donations mean so much to help us do this. Donations can be taken to Interfaith’s office in Grace United Methodist Church or, in some instances, we can pick them up. Donations

of cash can be sent to Christmas for Kids, 7596 Hayden Lake Road, Danbury, WI 54830. Donations may also be taken to the Webster Fire Hall the week of Dec. 10. If anyone has any questions you can call me, Barb, at 715-866-4970. And so I say, Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas for Kids! You’ll be hearing from me again. I want to tell some stories of Christmas past. Some are touching, have Kleenex available, some are fun and some are happy. We’ll talk soon!

If you have been past the new site on County Road D, you have seen that work is starting to progress! Among the challenges before moving into the new shelter space include digging a new well, upgrading the septic and HVAC, and fencing in a yard for the canine residents. As part of this, HSBC is launching the “from Dream to Reality” capital campaign specifically for the work on the Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption & Education Center.

Sheriff candidates discuss meth and staffing issues in Siren

SIREN—Both candidates for sheriff were in Siren Tuesday evening for a candidate forum. Topics included the methamphetamine problem, staffing issues at the sheriff’s department and how they decompress off the clock. Tracy Finch is running as an independent. She has almost 30 years of experience in law enforcement and is currently a detective with the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office. Chris Sybers is running as a Republican. He is the Chief of Police in Siren and has been in law enforcement since 1991. The Siren Senior Center was packed with over 40 people in attendance to hear what the candidates stances were on the issues. Attorney Joe Schieffer was the moderator for the evening. Schieffer has been working in the District Attorney’s office since Bill Norine’s retirement last month. After opening statements they jumped right into the question of methamphetamine, it’s impact on the county and what can ordinary citizens do to help. Both candidates agreed the best thing a citizen can do is follow the guidelines of “if you see something, say something.” Finch and Sybers both outlined how people calling in suspicious activity, even if it’s anonymous, leads to results. “Burnett County loses $300,000 - $500,000 per year to property crime, most of which is attributed to methamphetamine users,” Finch stated. She said a good start to battle the problem would be hiring a drug officer, someone who only deals with drug cases. Then she would start a drug task force to pool the resources for local police departments, tribal police and the sheriff’s department together with all departments sharing information. “Everything she said is correct,” Sybers said. “We’re going to agree on a lot tonight.” Sybers continued by explaining that drugs have been a problem in Burnett County forever and it’s not just affecting our county, but the entire state.

to inmates also for free. The final question dealt with odd calls the candidates have responded to and how they decompress from the stresses of their

“Every county in the state has this problem with meth or heroin,” Sybers said. He added it also comes down to having the sheriff’s department

Adventure Church begins series on Christianity SIREN—Have you wondered who Jesus is? If he is for real? Or what it means to be a Christian? Then Alpha is the series for you. Alpha is a 12-week series explaining what Christianity is all about. It is valuable for the new believer as well as those who are curious to know more about Jesus. Each meeting starts with a free meal. A video presentation and a small group question and answer session follows the meal. The program meets Mondays at Adventure Church from 6–8:30 p.m. There was an introductory meeting on Monday, Sept. 24, but it is not too late to join. Alpha is a non-denominational program and is open to everyone. Call Dave Clark at Adventure Church at 715-349-5750 for more information.

Candidates for Burnett County Sheriff met in Siren to discuss some of the issues facing law enforcement. Chris Sybers (left) admitted early in the evening that he and his opponent Tracy Finch (right) were going to agree a lot on these topics.

fully staffed. That response led directly to the second question of how will the new sheriff build the department and plan for the future. Sybers was first to answer and laid out a hypothetical plan for building a jail outside the tax levy so taxes would not go up. “You can build it, but you can’t staff it,” Sybers said as he explained operating expenses that make building a jail impractical at the moment. He said the issues compound when the department is not fully staffed. He then outlined a plan to bring back Huber, an inmate work release program, and to hire good quality employees. Finch said the issue of staffing law enforcement departments is a nation-wide one, partially due to how the national media portrays police. She added that she has spoken with the jail staff and is also in favor of bringing Huber back. She said she has spoken with retired teachers about coming into the jail for GED tutoring for free and even suggested a friend of hers is willing to teach parenting classes

work in law enforcement. Sybers told an amusing story about chasing a young suspect down the Gandy Dancer Trail. Sybers said, “I don’t like running, don’t make me chase you. Because when I start, I’m like a train.” Finch had two stories involving the same suspect. One dealt with the suspect resisting arrest and led to her partner’s tie being ripped off. Her partner then yelled a series of expletives that made the suspect laugh and they were then able to place handcuffs on him. Finch and Sybers both cited friends and family as their ways to decompress from the job. They both are also avid readers. Finch said she enjoys fiction that doesn’t involve the police or “sappy romance” novels and Sybers said he enjoys reading WWII stories. Schieffer ended the evening by telling the crowd that he has worked with both candidates and sees a bright future for Burnett County. Bob Rombach of the We Are Network was there to live stream the event. The video will be posted on facebook.com/wearesirenwi

SMÖRGASBORD ~ Wednesday, Oct. 10 ~

Walking is a low-risk activity and easy to start. It can help keep you fit and reduce your risk of serious diseases, like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and more. It is unbelievable the number of advertisements on television for devices, programs and equipment that are available for purchase to help you melt away pounds, develop six pack abs, or cleanse your way to good health. If you are truly interested in getting healthy and losing those pounds use the equipment you were born with: your feet. All you really need is a good pair of walking shoes, socks and comfortable clothing. You can start by putting your shoes and socks on, getting off the couch/chair, going to the door and going outside and walking. Here are a few tips to get you started with your walking adventure. • Begin with short distances. Start with a stroll that feels comfortable (perhaps 5-10 minutes) and gradually increase your time or distance each week. • Focus on posture. Keep your head lifted ,tummy pulled in and shoulders relaxed. • Breathe deeply. If you can’t talk or catch your breath while walking, slow down. • Track your progress. Experts recommend walking at least 30 minutes a day. There are many websites devoted to walking. For example, the American Heart Association, www.heart.org, has a tremendous amount of information and tools to help you get started and to stay motivated. Walking, is free, fun, inexpensive, and it requires no special training. Well what are you waiting for, stop reading the paper and go for a walk.

Aging in place has a plethora of beneﬁts THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

The goal of aging in place is avoiding the move to an assisted living facility or nursing home. For many seniors, aging in place can provide significant emotional, social, and economic benefits. Seniors who age in place welcome the emotional security of knowing they will remain supported by the same connections to family, friends, and community that have enriched their lives over many decades. They take comfort in the fact that they are familiar with their external social environment – the local park, pharmacy, grocery store, and post office. And aging in place can be the most financially sensible housing option. Seniors can take steps to preserve their ability to age in place, including the following steps to maintain their independence: • Assess their home’s livability. It is important for the senior to do a thorough assessment of his or her home to assure that it properly enables the senior to comfortably live there. Here is a link to a website that has common issues that a senior may confront and possible remedies to these issues. (http://www.seniorresource.com/ageinpl. htm#items) • Ensure household maintenance is performed. One of the main reasons seniors move to senior living communities is because they have trouble “keeping up with the house.” But, if a senior makes a list of household tasks -- both routine and intermittent (mowing the lawn, cleaning the rain gutters, taking the trash cans to the curb) -- and figure out which tasks the senior can still handle and which one the senior needs help with, the senior may be able to avoid an unwanted move. If a senior is no longer able to perform a task, there may be a professional, neighbor, or nearby loved one who will help. • Utilize technology to stay safe and connected. Technology can be extremely helpful in accomplishing several important steps to remaining independent. Many medical alert buttons use cellphone technology that works anywhere a senior goes and links to a call center 24 hours per day. The buttons come with a monthly monitoring fee. Laptops and smartphones enable video chatting with loved ones, so you can see a friendly face. You can also place a video camera in your home (for example, the living room) that connects to an app on your loved one’s smartphone. If you desire this option, it will enable the loved one to get a visual check on you at any time.

Looking for a Specialist?

• Arrange transportation. If public transportation and taxis are not an option, learn how to use an on-demand ride-sharing service ordered via smartphone if your community has such services. Sometimes local governments provide low-cost bus or taxi rides to seniors. • Address in-home safety. Seniors will want to do a topto-bottom review of their home for comfort and potential safety hazards. Look for (and be prepared to install) things like bright lighting throughout the house, light switches at the top and bottom of stairs, and grab bars in the bathroom, for starters.

METRO CREATIVE

• Personal care. Some seniors find bathing, washing their hair, or dressing to be difficult without assistance. A relative or friend may be able to help. Or, a personal care aide could come into the home to help with these tasks for a short time each day. • Have food delivered. While it remains important to get out and about (and going to the grocery store may be one way of achieving this goal), sometimes not having this responsibility may help with remaining in your home. Many large grocery stores and online retailers offer grocery delivery. Seniors can also order subscription meal kits that deliver fresh, premeasured ingredients ready to prepare. And, there are nonprofit meal delivery services specifically for seniors, such as Meals on Wheels. Some nonprofit groups also deliver medically tailored meals based on a senior’s needs.

Identity theft: protect and prevent Identity theft continues to be the fastest growing crime in the United States. The more you learn about it, the less vulnerable you are. Join Jeff Kersten from the Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection for the presentation, Identity Theft: Protect & Prevent, on Tuesday, Oct. 16, 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. at the Grantsburg Senior Center. Learn about the different types of identity theft, how to recognize it, and how to prevent it—including information about fraud alerts and security freezes. Receive tips for safeguarding personal information and how to spot the red flags of a scam. You will also be given helpful brochures to take home. This presentation will be held following the congregate dining meal, which starts at 11:30 a.m. If you would like to enjoy the meal prior to the presentation please, RSVP to the Grantsburg Nutrition Site at 715-463-2940 at least 24 hours in advance. For individuals who are 60 years of age and older, there is a suggestion donation for the meal and for those under 60 years of age, there is a fee for the meal. This event is presented to you in partnership between the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin (ADRC) and the Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection. With questions, contact the ADRC of NW WI at 877-485-2372.

The Department of Health Services Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing introduced the communication visor card, a tool to help drivers who are deaf and hard of hearing communicate with law enforcement. Originally created by the Wisconsin Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the updated card seeks to help people who are deaf or hard of hearing communicate with police officers during a traffic stop or road emergency situation. “By enhancing the communication between law enforcement officers and state residents who are deaf and hard of hearing, the visor cards help us fulfill our mission to protect and promote the health and safety of the people of Wisconsin,” said State Health Officer Karen McKeown. The two-sided card allows the individual to indicate whether they are deaf or hard of hearing, and provides officers tips on how to communicate with them. The card includes graphics that represent traffic violations and car problems. The driver and law enforcement officer can point to the appropriate items on the card during a traffic stop or road emergency. The cards come with instructions on where to place them in vehicles. More than 150 instructors who teach at Wisconsin’s 22 law enforcement academies and other law enforcement agencies have been trained on the card, with several additional trainings scheduled for this spring.

METRO CREATIVE

The Wisconsin Law Enforcement Network, accessed by all law enforcement officers, will also include information about the card. Individuals can print the card (https://www.dhs. wisconsin.gov/publications/p02027.pdf) and placement instructions (https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/ publications/p02027i.pdf). To order the cards, send an email to dhsodhh@dhs.wisconsin.gov and include the words “visor card” in the subject line and your full name and address in the email.

How well do you know Social Security? Take the quiz and ﬁnd out THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Answer these true/false questions and check your Social Security benefit knowledge: 1. You can increase your monthly Social Security benefits by delaying receiving benefits until age 67. True. For those born in 1960 or later, the full retirement age is 67. If you receive benefits before reaching that age, then your monthly benefits will be reduced, depending on how early you begin receiving them. (The earliest age you can begin receiving benefits is 62). 2. Children can receive Social Security benefits. True. Children under age 18 can receive Social Security benefits if their parent or guardian is receiving benefits. They can also collect survivor benefits in the event of a parent’s death. 3. When a person claims spousal benefits, it causes their spouse or exspouse’s Social Security benefit to be reduced. False. Spousal benefits do not cause the primary earner’s benefit to be reduced, even if more than one person is claiming on that record. 4. Government workers do not pay into Social Security.

False. Since 1984, all new federal government employees, including members of Congress, have been paying into social security and are eligible for full benefits. 5. A divorced spouse can only collect benefits on an ex-spouse’s record if the former spouse has already claimed benefits. False. Divorced spouses do not have to wait for their former spouse to claim benefits, but they do have to wait for their ex to turn 62 before they can claim on their record. 6. You can collect two full checks at the same time – a spousal benefit and a benefit based on your own work record. False. A person can collect on only one record at a time. However, in some cases it is possible to switch benefits to maximize your lifetime income. 7. An annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is guaranteed. False. COLA increases are based on inflation. If there is no inflation in a given year, benefits will remain the same in the following year. 8. Foreign citizens cannot collect Social Security benefits. False. As long as a person has paid into Social Security for 40 quarters (10 years), he or she will be eligible for So-

METRO CREATIVE

cial Security benefits. Foreign citizens can also qualify for spousal benefits under certain circumstances. 9. If I keep working while collecting benefits, my income will be subject to the payroll tax. True. Payroll taxes are deducted from almost all worker’ paychecks, regardless of age. While you cannot avoid these taxes, it is possible that they can increase your monthly benefit in the future.

10. A couple must be married for at least 10 years before a person can collect spousal benefits on their partner’s record. False. The 10-year rule only applies to divorced couples that are claiming on their former spouse’s record. Newly married couples only have to wait one year before they become eligible for a spousal benefit.

Explaining photo ID for voting THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

The 2018 Fall General Election is coming up on Nov. 6, 2018. Offices on the ballot include Governor, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representatives, odd-numbered Wisconsin State Senate seats, and all Wisconsin Assembly seats. Now is the time to make sure you have a valid form of identification for voting. Most people already have the right kind of photo ID for voting, such as a driver’s license, Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT)-issued ID card, a U.S. military ID card, a U.S. passport, a tribal ID card, or a student ID card issued by a Wisconsin accredited university or college. These types of identification are valid for voting if they are unexpired or if they expired after the date of the most recent general election on Nov. 8, 2016. The following types of ID cards can be used for voting if they are unexpired: a veteran’s photo ID card issued by the Veterans Health Administration of the federal Department of Veterans Affairs, a certificate of naturalization that was issued no more than two years before the date of the election, a driving receipt issued by the Wisconsin DOT, an identification card receipt issued by the Wisconsin DOT, a temporary identification card receipt issued by the Wisconsin DOT through the Identification Petition Process, and a citation or notice of intent to revoke or suspend a Wisconsin DOT-issued driver’s license that the DOT issued within 60 days of the date

of the election. Some absentee voters do not need a photo ID. Members of the military and people who live permanently overseas do not need a photo ID. In addition, absentee voters do not need a photo ID if they are considered “indefinitely confined” and cannot travel due to their age, an illness, or a disability. These voters must indicate that they are indefinitely confined when they apply for an absentee ballot. If you do not have a valid form of identification, and the documents you need to apply for an ID card are not easily available or would cost too much money for you to obtain them, you can use the voter ID petition process. This petition process is available for applicants unable to provide proof of name and date of birth, United States citizenship, identity, or other required documentation. The process is free and will allow you to obtain a receipt that you can use to vote while you obtain the remaining documents. You should go to your local DMV office to apply for your photo ID receipt. If they are available, you should bring: • Proof of your name and date of birth (such as your birth certificate); • Proof of your identity (such as your Social Security card, Medicaid card, Medicare card, etc.); • Proof of Wisconsin residency (such as a utility bill, government mail, lease, etc.); • Proof of U.S. Citizenship (such as your U.S. birth certificate or citizenship paperwork); and

• Social Security Number. If you don’t have all of these documents, bring what you have to the DMV. At the DMV, you will fill out two forms. Then, you will receive a receipt in the mail that you can use for voting. Learn what the receipt will look like by going to the following link: http:// wisconsindot.gov/ Documents/dmv/shared/ idpp-takeaway.pdf. This receipt will be valid for 180 days, and it will be renewed automatically unless the DOT cancels it. You will receive additional receipts as long as you are making reasonable efforts to obtain the documents you need to apply for an ID card. Remember that if you already have an unexpired Wisconsin driver’s license or identification card, or if you have a Wisconsin driver’s license or identification card that has expired since Nov. 8, 2016, you already have valid identification for voting. Please note that there is no separate “voter ID” card. If you are unsure whether your identification meets the requirements, you should visit the Wisconsin Elections Commission website at http://elections.wi.gov/ to check. The Wisconsin Elections Commission also has information on its website about voter eligibility, poll locations, voter registration information or other election information. If you have questions about how to obtain identification for voting, you can call the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Voter ID hotline at 844-588-1069.

Help a loved one with Social Security BY RHONDA WHITENACK AND JIM CZECHOWICZ ST. PAULSOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE

According to the Census Bureau, there are nearly 57 million people living with disabilities in the United States. Thirty percent of American adults help provide care for a sick or disabled family member. Caregivers provide physical and emotional support for the people in their care. It’s a demanding job with its stresses and rewards, but it can also be a labor of love. Social Security is committed to you throughout life’s journey, helping secure today and tomorrow for every American. This is especially true for people who need help managing their benefits. We work closely with caregivers through our representative payee program. A representative payee is someone who receives and oversees the Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for anyone who cannot manage their benefits. This can be a child or an adult incapable of managing their own funds. You can learn more about our representative payee program at www. socialsecurity.gov/payee. A representative payee is usually a trusted family member or friend of the beneficiary, but when friends or family are not able to serve as representative payees, Social Security looks for qualified individuals or organizations to represent the beneficiary. You can learn about becoming a representative payee by watching our new series of videos on the duties of a representative payee at www.socialsecurity.gov/payee. It’s our hope that these videos will not only educate individuals about the roles and responsibilities of being a representative payee, but also provide further insight, broaden community awareness, and provide key resources to deal with the growing incidents of elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. Caregivers are valuable and irreplaceable assets to our great nation. Please join us in celebrating them for all they do for those who cannot do for themselves.

Free credit security freezes coming soon GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Starting this fall, a new law will require the big three credit reporting agencies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – to let you freeze your credit report for free. Credit freezes, also known as security freezes, restrict access to your credit report. Security

‘Security freezes are often recommended for individuals who have been the victim of identity theft or whose personal information was released in a security breach.’ freezes are often recommended for individuals who have been the victim of identity theft or whose personal information was released in a security breach. If your credit report has been frozen and you, or an identity thief, apply for a new loan or credit card in your name, the bank will not be able to check your credit report. Without access to your credit report, the bank will deny the application. If a security freeze is in place and you want to apply for a loan or credit card or open a new bank account, you will have to ask each credit reporting agency to unfreeze your credit report. In many states, the credit reporting agencies can charge a fee to freeze and unfreeze credit reports. Although credit reporting agencies may waive these fees for victims of identity theft who provide a copy of a police report, other individuals are required to pay anywhere from $3 to $10, depending on their state’s laws. Because individuals must request a security freeze with each credit reporting agency, their total cost could be as much as $30 each time they request a security freeze or ask for a freeze to be lifted. The new law limits security freezes to only impact businesses requesting consumer information for credit purposes.

That means that parties requesting credit reports for employment background checks, tenant background checks, or insurance policies will still have access to credit information when a security freeze is in place. The law also does not apply to existing creditors or debt collection agencies who are reviewing accounts or collecting money that is owed to them. The new law went into effect Sept. 21. Credit reporting agencies have updated their websites to make it easy for you to request a free credit freeze or ask to lift a freeze. Keep in mind that, although securi-

METRO CREATIVE

ty freezes can be useful, they do have some limitations. For example, a freeze should prevent an identity thief from opening a new credit card in your name, but it will not stop someone who has access to an existing account from using it. In addition, a security freeze will not prevent tax identity theft, which occurs when some-one files a tax return in another person’s name. You should check your bills regularly for mistakes and review your credit reports every year to make sure there are no errors.

County Board hears from Forts, brieﬂy discuss budget happening,” Jensen said after asking for a reduction in the cuts. “I do not want the Forts to become a liability for the county. I want to turn it into a valuable asset.”

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER —A newly printed 150-page budget proposal for 2019 was laid out in front of every Supervisor’s seat at the beginning of the meeting. Before handling that, they heard an update from representatives from Forts Folle Avoine. Paul Cunliffe, of the Forts and Burnett County Historical Society, came to the meeting to ask for less of a reduction in donations the county was giving that the Forts is slated to receive next year. The Forts’ mission, along with the Historical Society, is to provide educational opportunity to the public by presenting, teaching and researching the history of Burnett County. The park, located on County Road U near Danbury, opened in 1989. Since then, a research library and blacksmith shop have been built. Cunliffe added they have also restored old cabins along with many other things. He then went over the numbers of attendees at the Fort during the 2017 season. A large portion of their visitors are school children that are bussed in from all over the region. “In 2017, we had 2,080 adults and 1,500 kids, mostly from school trips, come out to the

Forts,” Cunliffe said. “This year we had 2,100 adults and 1,632 kids.” Cunliffe told the board that the Forts is one of only four parks in the area devoted to the British fur trade. He then read a “note” he received from a visitor who said they have been to the other parks in the area and how the Forts is their favorite. Its writer said the Forts staff, by far, has the most knowledgeable and personable staff out of all four parks. He then spoke of the mistakes that the Burnett County Historical Society and their board have made over the last couple of months.

“Our annual meeting is coming up, and then we will fill those three seats on the board that have been vacant for a while,” Cunliffe said. Jeff Jensen, the Director at the Forts, explained, “We are hoping for less of a reduction this year, so we can get things in order. Then hopefully be able to prepare for a larger reduction for 2020.” Jensen stressed how vital the Forts relationships are with other community groups. He said building a prosperous relationship with the Ojibwe tribe is something he is focused on. “We know everybody asks for money and that cuts are

BUDGET OVERVIEW County Administrator Nate Ehalt encouraged all supervisors to go over the budget and bring questions and concerns to his department so they can better prepare for the public hearing in October. “From my standpoint what you see in this budget is a lot of heavy lifting,” Ehalt said. “We didn’t just put our hand between the cushions. We actually flipped the couch over to get as much change as we could.” Ehalt thanked the board for their foresight in opening a capital equipment fund years ago as money from that is slated to for use in 2019. He concluded with saying the whole board should meet in January to discuss other revenues as well as looking at contributions given to Burnett County organizations.

Pirates take control of Lakeland with win over Eagles BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—Heading into Friday’s game it was your classic high school football drama— both the Grantsburg Pirates and the Unity Eagles were undefeated on the season at 5-0, the conference title was on the line, both teams were state ranked in the top five of Division 6 with the Pirates at number two and the Eagles at number five, and it was Unity’s homecoming. The stands and sidelines were packed with avid football fans eager to watch a battle between the two conference foes. Unfortunately for the Eagles and their fans, that’s where the storybook scenario ended. The Pirates took control from the opening kick-off and walked away with a 49-6 thumping of their rivals. “Our guys executed on both sides of the ball, had limited mental mistakes and played pretty physical all night,” Pirates head coach Adam Hale said. The Eagles received the opening kickoff to start the game on offense. The Pirate defense shut them down in three plays, forcing the punt. A short punt gave the Pirates great starting position at mid-field. “On defense, coach Dennis Hale called a great game and our defensive line of Levi Miller, Gabe Chenal and Phil Hein did a great job of disrupt-

ing Unity’s offense,” Coach Hale said. “Bryce Roufs and Leo Chenal keep improving each week and made a number of nice plays.” Grantsburg marched down the field, got a little help from a pass interference call against the Eagles, and finally scored on a seven-yard run by Leo Chenal to get on the scoreboard early. The extra point kick by Jared VanWatermuelen was good to take an early 7-0 lead. The Pirates shut down the Eagles onetwo-three on their next series, forcing another punt. This time the Pirates’ Gabe Chenal busted through the line to block the punt and recover it to put his team at the 27-yard line to start their second offensive drive of the game. They took advantage of the Unity mishap, and with 5:10 left in the first quarter they lit up the scoreboard again. It was Leo Chenal scoring once more, this time from five yards out. The PAT was good to give the Pirates a 14-0 lead. Grantsburg’s defense continued to dominate, keeping the Eagles’ offense off of the field. The Pirates scored again when Leo Chenal took it in from nine yards out midway through the second quarter. The PAT was good to take a commanding 21-0 lead. The Eagles finally got into Pirates’ territory and got their only score of the

Dragons drop Lakers to win homecoming BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—A strong second and fourth quarters of football enabled the Siren Dragons to win their Homecoming game last Friday 44-24 over the Shell Lake Lakers. “I’m fired up,” exclaimed Coach Ryan Karsten. “You know me.” “It shows you what can happen when you have only one turnover. Tonight we won by 20. If this same team played like this against Northwood, we would have won by 20. Same goes for Prairie Farm. We had just one tonight. We played a complete game.” Cordell Fischer had three touchdown runs of five yards apiece. Triston Ortez got two, one on a kickoff return for a score and the other on a 30-yard run. Trevor Stanford caught a 35-yard pass from Jordan Webster for the remaining score. Both Shell Lake and Siren scored in the first quarter, with Fischer getting his first one with 3:52 left. The Lakers timed an 80-yard TD pass

play perfectly in quarter two and on the ensuing kickoff, Ortez got his touchdown run. A hook up between Jordan Webster and Trevor Stanford got the next score. The Dragons opened the second half

receiving the kickoff and promptly went downfield and scored on a 30-yard run by Ortez. The two point conversion was good. Less than four minutes later, the Lakers ran across the line from 15 yards

out, narrowing the margin to 30-18 for the Dragons. The Dragons got two more scores in the fourth, both on five yard runs by Fischer. Shell Lake scored in the waning moments of the game. “I’m so proud of our kids and our coaches,” praised Coach Karsten. “We have a chance to win our last three games. We may not get into the playoffs, but we want to finish the season on a good note.” Jordan Webster was seven for nine good for 107 yards and a score.

Tigers can the Comets despite 150 penalty yards BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

CAMERON—Despite turnovers and penalties, the Webster Tigers got back into the winning column with a nice 20-13 win over the Cameron Comets last Friday night. “We turned the ball over three times in the first half and had 150 penalty yards, so we have some things to clean up,” said Coach Andy Smith “Wyatt Schaaf and Harlo Olson made some big plays defensively and Trevor Gustafson had some nice passes to Brad Sigfrids, Colton Peterson and Tanner Pardun,” he continues. In the first quarter, Webster got on the board first with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Gustafson to Coleton Peterson. The two point conversion was good and Webster was up 8-0. Three minutes later, Gustafson went over from the one yard line to score. The conversion failed and the Tigers held a 14-0 advantage. Cameron came back early in the second quarter with a 22-yard touchdown pass which was followed up with the

extra point. Webster 14, Cameron 7. After a change of possession, Cameron went downfield again and scored on a 12-yard run. The PAT failed and the Tigers held a slim 14-13 lead. The one point lead didn’t last very long as just before halftime, Gustafson

ran it in from 16 yards out. The conversion failed, but Webster carried a 20-13 lead into the intermission. Webster scored twice in the third quarter, about two minutes apart. The first was on a 27-yard pass from Gustafson to Tanner Pardun. Gustafson

Tigers test Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers hosted the Grantsburg Pirates to kick off the second half of conference play on Thursday night, and although the Tigers weren’t able to defeat the Pirates, they made a much better contest of this match-up than the first time the two teams met. In their first meeting back on Aug. 28, the Pirates completely dominated the Tigers winning by scores of 25-11, 25-9 and 25-13. The Tigers have improved tremendously since that meeting and their confidence has grown as well, but the Pirates’ experience was just too much to overcome and they swept the hometown girls 25-15, 25-20 and 25-23. “We played a match we can be proud of tonight against a very experienced Grantsburg team,” Tigers’ head coach Stefani Janssen said about the match. The Tigers held a lead over the Pirates early in the first set but Grantsburg went on a 12-point run and things snowballed from there for the Tigers. In set number two, the Tigers jumped out to an 11-4 lead, but again the Pirates clawed their way back into the game eventually tying it up at 14-14. This time the Pirates went on an 18-6 run to take the win at 25-20. The set scores got closer as the night went on, and

in set three the teams were tied at 11, 12, 13, 14 and again at 20. Despite missing three consecutive serves during the final points of the game, the Pirates came away with the 25-23 win. “While we weren’t firing on all cylinders at all times, we did pretty well,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “However, it was definitely our worst serving accuracy of the season at 85 percent, including three consecutive serves into the net at the end of the third set, which nearly forced a fourth. This minor disappointment paled in comparison to the stellar serve receive and defense of our back court. Defenders flew to every corner picking up tips and hard hits. It was a swarming defense and we met our goal for playable digs.” Jenna McNally led the Pirates in digs with 16 followed closely by Randi Siebenthal with 14 and Linda Harmon with nine. “Team blocking also exceeded goal as we amassed the most blocks per set we have had yet this season, in addition to multiple playable deflections,” the coach added. Hanne Johnson tallied five blocks, with Brooke Quimby and Olivia Ohnstad adding three each. Offensively, Quimby led the way with nine kills. Harmon and Ohnstad recorded six kills each with Randi Siebenthal right there with five. “Our hitters take turns sharing the glory, with

threw to Peterson for the successful two point conversion. Then Gustafson ran for a 28-yard score, the conversion failing to go up 34-13. The Tigers held the Comets without a point in the last period of play, but added two touchdowns to their credit. Matt Buffington ran for a nine-yard score and Camron Tomaszewski for a one-yard touchdown. Both two point conversions were successful, thus the ending score of 50-13. Gustafson was 11 for 15 in passing good for 133 yard sand two touchdowns. He also rushed 15 times for 160 yards and three scores. Behind him was Carter Doriott with 20 rushes for 93 yards. Wyatt Schaaf was high tackler for the Tigers with five solos and two assists. Harlo Olson had four solos and one assist. “Tackling has been a big emphasis for the last couple weeks and is improving, but is not where we need it to be. We will keep grinding this week as we get ready for a talented Unity Football Team.” The Tigers host Unity on Friday in a 7 p.m. contest.

multiple attackers capable of leading the team on any given night, thanks to smart setting and figuring out who’s ‘hot’ that day,” Allaman-Johnson said. McKenzie Rombach had 17 assists with Charli Siebenthal adding 13. For the Tigers, Summer Winkler led the offensive attack with seven kills on the night. Hannah McDowell and Brooke Hetfeld had five kills each, followed by Jona Matrious with three and Kaitlyn Lee with two. Lee was also the assist leader with 10 followed closely by Hannah Jans-

sen with nine. Winkler also led the defensive stats with 15 digs. Emma Zmuda and McDowell had eight digs each, with Torrance Wols and Lee racking up seven each. Serena Peck added three digs, with Matrious, Janssen and Hetfeld rounding out the list with two each. This week, the Pirates will host Luck on Thursday night in a 7:15 p.m. match up before heading to New Richmond on Saturday for a tournament. The Tigers will be heading to the Amery Invitational on Saturday.

SIREN—Even though the Siren Dragon volleyball team lost to a strong St. Croix Falls squad 3-0 last Thursday night, Coach Kristin Kosloski is encouraged by the improvement shown, especially in this particular game. “We stood up to St. Croix Falls. They have a good team. Other than a few lapses, we did pretty well. Our passing was good.” “We’ve come a long ways since that first game (against St. Croix Falls at St. Croix). I’m hoping that in the second half of the season we’ll continue to improve.” In game one against the Saints, the Dragons got behind early after knotting the game at 2. Then after trailing 4-6, the Saints went on an 11-0 run. Up 17-4, St. Croix may have felt the game was won, but Siren had different ideas. Trailing 8-20, the Dragons went on a GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL run of their own, Siren’s Abigail Hayman bumps 9-2, closing the gap the ball in game one as the to 17-22. The Saints, Dragons hosted St. Croix Falls though, prevailed last Thursday. 25-22, giving the home team a thrill in coming back from so far down. The Dragons had a slight let down in game two, keeping the game close at 5-5, but St. Croix moved ahead 10-5 before giving up two points to the Dragons. St. Croix went on to win game two by a 25-12 margin. Game three was tight as there were ties at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. St. Croix moved out to a 16-12 advantage, but the Dragons fought back to narrow the gap to 16-15. The 15 points were all that the Dragons could muster in game three, losing that game 25-15. The Dragons go to Frederic on Thursday, attend the Amery Invitational on Saturday and host Grantsburg next Tuesday.

Pirate netters sail past Eagles BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—After a small bump in the road against SCF the prior week, the Grantsburg Pirates volleyball team got back on track against Unity, sailing to a victory by scores of 25-11, 25-17 and 25-11. “We were prepared for a battle because Unity beat SCF and they are a talented, well-coached team whose junior class is especially strong,” said Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson. The Eagles got on the board first in the opening set, but the Pirates fired back quickly, took the lead and never

looked back. “Our defense did a great job of protecting our floor from Unity’s big hitters and blockers, and our hitter coverage was particularly good,” Allaman-Johnson said. “All three of our setters looked good and connected well with our hitters most of the time.” Randi Siebenthal had a big night, leading her team with 10 kills. Olivia Ohnstad and Linda Harmon were strong as well with eight kills each. Hanne Johnson added three kills and Olivia Brock had two. Charli Siebenthal was the assist leader with 12 on the night. McKenzie Rombach recorded eight, with Rachel

Tooze, Ellie Duncan, Brock and Johnson adding two assists each. Jenna McNally led the defense with 15 digs. Charli Siebenthal had 10 digs, with Raisa Jensen and Harmon recording eight apiece followed by Rombach with seven. The freshman, Johnson, played big at the net all night tallying three blocks. Brooke Quimby and Ohnstad had two blocks each. The Pirates were also strong from behind the serving line registering eight aces on the night. Kaitlin Olson and Harmon led the way with two aces STACY COY | SENTINEL each. Grantsburg’s Brooke Quimby (13) ﬂies high for a big block against Unity.

game late in the second quarter when Jake Bloom ran it in from four yards out. A bobbled snap on the PAT cost them, making it a 21-6 game. Bryce Roufs took the ensuing kick-off back to mid-field to set up the Pirate offense with a minute and half left in the half. Just four plays later, Leo Chenal punched it in from nine yards out for the touchdown with :38 left in the half. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was true to make it a 28-6 contest at the break. Grantsburg’s Isaac Quimby took the second half opening kick-off 51 yards to set up his team at the 30-yard line. At the 9:09 mark, Leo Chenal got his fifth touchdown of the game when he found pay dirt from three yards out. The PAT was

good to bring the score to 35-6. The Pirates struck once

more in the third quarter when Leo Chenal tacked on

another touchdown late in the quarter from just one yard out. The PAT was good to put the Pirates up 42-6. The Pirates were not done yet— on the very first play of the fourth quarter Roufs broke one open taking it 75 yards to pay dirt for the final score of the game. VanWatermuelen was seven for seven on his PATs to end the scoring at 49-6. Grantsburg’s defense was stellar with Leo Chenal leading the way with 10 solo tackles along with two assists. Roufs added four solos and four assists, with Gabe Chenal racking up four solos and two assists. Levi Miller chipped in one solo and five assists. The Pirate defense held Unity’s leading rusher Hunter Houde to just 35 yards on 13 attempts for the game. Coming into the game Houde was aver-

aging 154 yards per game. On offense, Leo Chenal racked up 149 yards on 10 carries with six touchdowns. Roufs had five carries for 90 yards and one touchdown. Quarterback Luke Anderson tallied 24 yards on four rushes. Anderson completed 6 of 11 passes for 76 yards. Roufs was his leading receiver with three catches for 28 yards. Leo Chenal had two catches for 34 yards and Gabe Chenal had one catch for 14 yards. “Offensively, I thought our offensive line and our perimeter guys really gave great effort and allowed us to run the ball effectively all four quarters,” Hale added. This week is Grantsburg’s homecoming and they will host the St. Croix Falls Saints on Friday night. Game time is 7 p.m.

Wisconsin to hit highest loss of dairy farms since 2013 MADISON—Wisconsin is on pace for losing the most dairy farms this year since 2013. The state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection says Wisconsin lost 47 dairy farms in August alone, the Wisconsin Public Radio reported . There were fewer than 8,400 licensed dairy producers at the beginning of this month, which is 429 fewer than at the start of the year, according to the data. The decline is the biggest one in four years, when the state lost 434 farms in the first eight months of 2013. The decline isn’t surprising given the current market and long-term trend toward industry consolidation, said Mike North, president of the Dairy Business Association. “There’s lots of motivating factors in this but it’s a trend that’s been going for my entire lifetime,” he said. North also said price reactions to new tariffs on U.S. dairy products have led some farmers to leave the industry early this year. But for some farms, low milk prices for more than three years just became too much, said Shelly Mayer, executive director of Professional Daily Producers. “For some of these farm families, that they just can’t continue on with the businesses and that’s what we always find difficult and devastating, to lose the farm numbers in that way,” she said. Mayer said Wisconsin will likely see continued declines in the number of producers, especially given that expenses continue to increase for dairy farmers despite low prices. “Those costs just don’t go down,” she said. “The cost of labor is there. The cost of all of our inputs: electric, gas, insurance. All of those costs continue to rise including the cost of replacing machinery.”

areas, are ranked first in the nation. In 2017, Wisconsin ranked first in the nation for overall healthcare quality. Yet, in the business world I’ve learned that if you are not actively improving every day, you’re falling behind. We must continue to work to improve the affordability of healthcare and access to healthcare in rural areas to exceed the strong reputation Wisconsin has today.

Using the Bible to light our path PASTOR MIKE KLEVEN FIRST BAPTIST FALUN

Pastor Mike Kleven

Driving home one night after church one of my kids asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad, why do we have headlights on cars?â&#x20AC;? Surprised- because the answer seemed so obvious to me- I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cars have headlights so that we can see where we are going in the dark.â&#x20AC;? Then I realized the question came because a car came toward us. Its headlights let us know it was coming even before it crested the hill. We talked about cars, headlights, and tail-

lights. We concluded the main purpose for headlights was to help us find our way safely through the dark. David, the shepherd who became a king wrote, Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path - Psalm 119:105 (NIV). Lights, lamps, and headlights are useful for nighttime travelers. Whether we are traveling on the dark roads toward home or traveling through the darkness that sin has brought upon our world, we need light. Light in the darkness is critical. It helps us see the condition of the road, the bridge that is out, the tree that has fallen, the curve

up ahead, or the car stalled in the road. The Bible lights up our road and shows us the hazards and curves this life throws at us. Headlights also help us avoid wrong turns and find our way home. Very few roads take us from where we are to where we need to go with no other options along the way. Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word shows us the wrong turns to be avoided and the destination he has for us through Jesus, the Light of the World. Why did God give us the Bible? To light our path home to him through Jesus. Open the Bible and shine the light of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word on your path!

Autumn is a prime time to tend lawns and gardens

RAKE AND COMPOST Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile.

Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will over-winter successfully. A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year. Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall.

PLANT SPRING BULBS Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year. DIG UP HERBS Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter. CONSIDER MUMS Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained and winterized, they can bloom every fall. FERTILIZE THE LAWN Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter.

PAMPER PERENNIALS As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over.

ADD MULCH AND COMPOST TO THE GARDEN Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting. PRUNE HEDGES Tidy up hedges, as they won’t be growing much more this year.

PRUNE SHRUBS Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood. CLEAN UP BORDERS Weed and tidy up borders and lawn edging. INSTALL PAVERS OR ROCK WALL Embrace the cooler temperatures to

work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall or walkway. REMOVE SPENT SUMMER VEGGIES Take out vegetable garden plants

Did you know? According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, adding square footage to a home can cost homeowners anywhere from $7,000 to $100,000. When adding square footage to a home, homeowners may need to knock down an interior wall or walls, the cost of which can vary widely depending on the walls being knocked down. Load-bearing walls are needed to support the home, and while such walls can be removed, homeowners may need to

hire structural engineers at additional cost to orchestrate such removals. In addition, homeowners can expect to pay more when knocking down walls that contain ducts or electrical wiring. It also can be costly for homeowners whose homes are old to knock down walls. HomeAdvisor notes that the wall-removal process in old homes that contain lead paint or lath-and-plaster walls is more intricate and may cost homeowners more money.

that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas.

CLEAN AND STORE EQUIPMENT Clean, sharpen and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and not lying out all winter. Autumn may not seem like gardening season, but there are plenty of lawn and garden tasks to tend to during this time of year.

Basement remodeling tips A basement remodeling project can add valuable and usable space to a home. For many years, homeowners overlooked the potential of a basement remodel, perhaps thinking it would not be a smart return on investment. But that’s no longer the case. The latest “Cost vs. Value” report from Remodeling magazine says the average basement remodel can cost around $61,000 with a 70.3 percent recoup rate. In addition, HGTV says architects and contractors indicate the cost of redoing a basement is roughly one-third to one-half less than the price of putting an addition on a home. Before remodeling a basement, homeowners should think about how they want to use the space. Homeowners also must focus on some potential obstacles in a basement that will need to be addressed so that the area can be as functional as possible. Basements can be chilly and damp. That means moisture issues and heating and cooling needs must be addressed prior to any construction. Homeowners may have to consider the installation of a dehumidifier and run venting through the basement to allow for proper climate control. If a basement takes on water, either through the walls or a concrete slab, a professional waterproofing company can come in and fix these issues so they will not damage drywall and flooring afterwards. The presence of insects and pests also must be addressed. Exterminators can help homeowners figure out which insects are in their basements and how to make the space less hos-

pitable to these unwelcome guests so that the room will become comfortable for human occupants. Space is often at a premium in basements, which may contain HVAC units, water heaters, filtration devices, ductwork, pipes, and the other appliances. Qualified contractors can suggest solutions for cordoning off appliances and camouflaging pipes and wires so they won’t detract from the finished product. However, building access panels into the design will make it easier to service or repair features as necessary. Homeowners also may want to wrap pipes before drywall is installed to quiet noisy drainage pipes. Uneven basement flooring will

need to be smoothed out and flattened before carpeting or tile can be laid down. A self-leveling underlayment

can be applied to fill in gullies, while larger crack and holes will need to be patched. Once the structure of the basement is addressed, then the design work can begin. Many professionals advise against drop ceilings, which can take away from ceiling height and look cheap. Basements can be dark, so the addition of plenty of lighting can help brighten the room. Small basement windows can be replaced with larger ones to add more light as well. Homeowners can mimic built-ins and architectural details from elsewhere in the home so the basement is aesthetically cohesive and doesn’t seem like an addition. Bookcases and shelving can add valuable storage space as well. Decorate the basement with bright, neutral colors so they make the space feel more inviting. With some effort and financial investment, basements can be as beautiful and functional as other rooms in a home.

Bring Fall Indoors The beginning of fall is a fun time of the year for both children and adults. Exciting holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving are right around the corner. Spruce your home up with accents related to this festive time of year. PUMPKINS AS A CENTERPIECE If you have ever walked through a grocery store or watched commercials during autumn, you have witnessed America’s obsession with pumpkin everything. From coffee to cereal, there is no doubt that pumpkins are a staple during fall. Of course, the most popular way to use a pumpkin as a centerpiece is by carving a face into it. Traditionally, a small candle is placed inside to illuminate it in the dark. For extra safety points, consider using a battery-powered LED light instead. Take carving up a notch by trying out advanced patterns. Find artwork online for inspiration, it’s amazing what you can do with a little patience and practice. A few other good ideas to make a statement with pumpkins are to add them to an attractive display featuring baskets, accent flowers and painting them different colors. Or, consider covering mini pumpkins with a clear dome and showcase them on a fireplace mantel. PINECONES Another way to tell fall is here is seeing the ground littered with pinecones. Even if you don’t have a cone-producing tree in your yard, you shouldn’t have any problem finding a neighbor or family member would be

pipe cleaners can make anything look humorous, even a pinecone spider. • Bird feeder: Cover a pinecone with peanut butter and stick bird frame to its outer shell.

An Exterior Paint Makeover It’s amazing what a little paint can do to change the appearance of the exterior of your home. Whether you choose to touch up your trim or cover the entire exterior of a building, fall is a great time to get this job done. FALL CONDITIONS COOPERATE Since most regions don’t experience much humidity during autumn, the chance that paint will dry evenly and adhere to surfaces are greatly enhanced. High levels of humidity can cause moisture from the air to get between the surface and paint, causing flaking and a dull color. According to real estate experts at Zillow, spring is the time of year when buyers face the most competition, resulting in homes selling faster and for higher premiums. If you’re considering going to market after winter has passed, a fresh coat of paint can add value and curb appeal to attract homebuyers. TOUCHING UP OR MAJOR OPERATION? When planning your exterior paint job, ask yourself if you are only focusing on a small area or aiming to coat your entire home. Small jobs are easy for a homeowner, but ensure you are using the correct paint for your region’s conditions and stay safe if

you’ll be on a ladder. Those who will be painting their entire home should consider hiring a contractor. Especially for those with larger homes, getting those hard-to-reach areas can be

extremely dangerous; a professional is well-trained and experienced. Plus, during the fall, the demand for painters may not be as high as it is in other seasons, meaning there shouldn’t be a long wait list.

Are You Planning a New Construction Project?

REFRESH TRIM Don’t ignore the trim of your home when painting the exterior. A fresh coat of paint to highlight your doors and windows can make a drab entrance area pop. To

add an even more attractive ambiance, consider hanging shutters which match your trim color to surrounding windows.

Getting Rid of Leaves compost is a fall tradition. They are packed with nutrients that other plants rely on to flourish. You can add grass trimmings, organic manure and surprisingly, dryer lint into this pile. For many others, the preferred method of disposing leaves is to burn them. When starting a fire, follow these safety tips from the American Red Cross: • Clear leaves away from the home and other buildings and only burn in accordance to your local laws and guidelines. • Be prepared for a fire to get out of control. You should always keep an extinguisher, rake, ax and bucket available when burning leaves. • Install smoke alarms on every level and in every room of your home. In case a fire spreads to your structure without warning, your loved ones inside will be alerted.

As fall moves in, it brings crisp temperatures, bonfire weather and leaves changing to beautiful colors. When the trees lose their cover, the result on the ground can be a nightmare to adults but a wonderland for kids. If you have many trees on your property, your once-luscious lawn will soon be replaced with leaves littering your yard. Leaf removal can be a chore for many yards in the country, luckily there are tools available to make the job easier. BUILD YOUR LEAF-REMOVAL ARSENAL For many yards, a traditional rake just isn’t enough to efficiently eliminate the leaves that fall. Consider equipping yourself with these helpful tools to make the process easier. • Leaf blower: This self-explanatory tool allows operators to blow leaves into a certain area on their property. They make quick work of problem areas. You can find these tools in battery-, gas- or electric-powered options. • Lawn mower: A quality lawn mower is still useful even after the grass stops growing. Consider adding a mulch bag to your mower to quickly collect fallen leaves. • Tarp: Once you have the leaves in a neat pile, then what? If you position them on

a tarp while you make your pile, you can easily bundle

them up and dispose of them responsibly.

SAFE BURNING For some, using leaves as

FOR THE KIDS For kids, there isn’t a better part to fall than collapsing in a giant pile of leaves. Before disposing of them, allow the little ones to play for a while. You can even find fun-themed garbage bags which resemble silly characters once filled. This is a great way to provide the kiddos with entertainment while getting a little help clearing the leaves.

Make the most of your home improvement dollars Home improvement projects provide homeowners with a chance to put their own stamp on their homes. In addition, many such projects make homes safer and, in some instances, more eco-friendly. The opportunity to make a home more comfortable, safer and/or more eco-friendly entices many homeowners to open their wallets. In fact, the Home Improvement Research Institute estimates that the home improvement products market will grow by more than five percent in 2018. Homeowners might experience some sticker shock when researching home improvement projects or receiving estimates from contractors. But there are ways for budget-conscious homeowners to transform their homes and still make the most of their home improvement dollars. • Do your homework. Each year, Remodeling magazine publishes its “Cost vs. Value Report,” a comprehensive study of 21 popular remodeling projects in 149 United States markets. The report notes the value each project retains at resale in 100 markets across the country.

Homeowners who want to get the strongest return on investment can access the “Cost vs. Value Report” (www.remodeling.how.net) to see which home improvement projects are best suited for them. • Do some of the labor yourself. Homeowners willing

to swing a hammer also can stretch their home improvement dollars. For example, the home improvement resource This Old House notes that homeowners willing to do their own demolition before the contractors arrive can save substantial amounts of money. A professional con-

television channels such as HGTV and the DIY Network. Homeowners with DIY experience may be able to complete projects on their own with little consultation from professional contractors. Some contractors may not offer consulting services, however. The consultation route, which typically requires paying licensed contractors hourly fees to offer guidance, should only be considered by homeowners with legitimate DIY skills, for whom this option can be a great way to save money. • Schedule renovations during homeowner-friendly times of year. Summer and fall tend to be contractors’ busy seasons, and homeowners will likely pay more for projects during this time of year. If possible, delay starting projects until right after the new year, when contractors aren’t so busy and might be more flexible with pricing. Budget-conscious homeowners can employ various strategies to make the most of their home improvement dollars without sacrificing quality.

Did you know? According to Energy Star, the U.S. Department of Energy and Consumer Reports, homeowners who want to curb their energy consumption can consider upgrading, repairing or replacing the biggest energy consumers in their homes. The following appliances tend to consume the most energy in a typical home.

Insulate Drafts

Cooler temperatures reveal places where cold air is sneaking in your home. Blocking off these areas can save you money and add to your comfort once winter comes in full force. An easy way to find obvious issues is to walk around entrance points in your home with a lit candle. Place it around the frame of doors and windows and watch for the flame to flicker. Sometimes, a professional inspection is required to find the hardto-find draft points. Some common ones can be attic holes, access hatches and fireplace dampers. FIX YOUR DOORS If you notice drafts coming in through an exterior door, there are several ways to correct the issue. Depending on the size of gap allowing cool air inside, here are some methods

you can use to alleviate them. â&#x20AC;˘ Install new sweeps: A door sweep seals gaps between the bottom of a door and its threshold. If your old one has been battered or appears dented, it may be time to install a new one to provide ultimate sealing. â&#x20AC;˘ Use foam tape: If your door is warped or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fits its frame snug, the answer can be to insulate it with foam tape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to use. Simply cut to size and secure it to drafty areas, per the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions. â&#x20AC;˘ Use a door snake: These weighted socks are available for the floor or to hang around the perimeter of a door. They are effective when trying to block small draft points.

WINDOW MAINTENANCE The United States Department of Energy reports that air leaks through

gaps around windows are responsible for 10 percent of a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leakage. If the issue isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too far gone, it can be easily resolved. An affordable option is to apply window film. This wrap is meant to be put in place and heated with a hair dryer. It works to quickly shrink and seal the drafts let in by windows. Caulk is inexpensive yet highly effective. If you notice your windows can use a touch up, visit your local hardware store and choose a type that is meant for the exterior of your home. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to resolve window drafts alone but are getting nowhere, it may be in your best interest to replace them completely. A professional can point you in the direction of Energy Star windows which will help lower your monthly utility bill.

â&#x20AC;˘ Heating & cooling unit: Nearly half of all energy used in a home is consumed by HVAC systems. Regularly inspecting and servicing the system can conserve energy and save money. â&#x20AC;˘ Water heater: Energy Star suggests replacing water heaters that are more than 10 years old. Also, washing clothes in cold water can reduce energy consumption. â&#x20AC;˘ Kitchen/laundry appliances: Trade in old appliances for new models, which are more energy-efficient. For example, an Energy Star-rated refrigerator uses 50 percent less energy to run than a refrigerator manufactured 15 years ago. Innovations in laundry appliances also help make units more efficient without compromising on performance.
