Veterans Retreat receives community grant JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
The Dairyland Outdoor Veterans Retreat (D.O.V.R.) received a community grant from Community Bank last week. The money will be used to purchase playground equipment as the retreat continues to develop and grow. Ron Deyo, former president of D.O.V.R., and Rod Wilson were at the site to accept the check from Jamie Morales of Community Bank. The retreat is located at 1465 County Road T, near the Radigan Flowage Dam and Tamarack River in Dairyland. Deyo realized there were no veteran’s facilities north of Highway 29 in Wisconsin a few years ago. Then in 2011, the Town of Dairyland gave D.O.V.R. the 14-acre lot. The campground now has tent sites, RV pads, a maintenance building and a pavilion. “Out here, this is wilderness and the vets love it,” said Rod Wilson, who sits on the D.O.V.R. Board, to State Representative Nick Milroy.

Wilson explains that the majority of the campground’s work has been done by volunteers. Boy Scout Troop #9515 from Oakdale, Minn. was at the site the week before.
Wilson said they came and built eight picnic tables and set them up in the camping area near the maintenance building. “People don’t realize how much

Grantsburg Community Education is partnering with the Polk County Special Olympics Agency Manager, Leanne Richter, to launch a Burnett County chapter of Special Olympics Meetings were held in April and May of this year for those interested in helping start a Special Olympics program in Burnett County. The meetings were also open to prospective participants and parents of children who would like to participate in the program. To become a Special Olympian, participants need to be eight years or older and have been diagnosed with having a cognitive disability. There is no cost to
people have volunteered their time up here,” Wilson said. “The people that poured that concrete for the cabin (were) folks from Siren and Webster.” The D.O.V.R. holds numerous raffles throughout the year. In September, they raffled off a UTV. They have also recently started holding designer purse bingo events. “People love it. They absolutely love purse bingo,” Wilson said. “Those bring in a lot of money, and that really helps around here.” Morales explained that Community Bank believes in supporting the communities it serves. Community Bank grants are reserved for non-profit organizations like D.O.V.R. and their playground. The maintenance building is about two years old now and houses the bathrooms, showers and even laundry room, along with offices.

Current activities in the Indianhead Region cover bowling, basketball and swimming, but the activities list also includes powerlifting, tennis, and golf.

The Burnett County organization will also be led and run by volunteers including an Agency Manager to oversee the program.

BURNETT COUNTY –– In their second official forum the candidates for Burnett County Sheriff, Tracy Finch and Chris Sybers, once again agreed on many of the topics of the evening. The forum was held by the League of Women Voters at the Grantsburg Library. Former Burnett County Circuit Court Judge Ken Kutz was moderator for the evening. He began the evening by saying this was meant to be a forum and not a debate. The candidates were asked to give their answer and avoid simply attacking what the other said on any given topic. Both candidates were given an opportunity to make opening statements. Sybers, Chief of Police at Siren Police

Brewers won, & Packers followed Monday was a great evening in Wisconsin sports. The Milwaukee Brewers game ended on Monday evening just in time to turn on Aaron Rodgers throwing a game-tying touchdown pass. The Packers game ended like a story book with kicker Mason Crosby winning the game in the final seconds after looking terrible in last week’s game. I was planning on writing about how spectacular and unheard of, it is for the Brewers to win a post-season game on the same night the Packers won a game. But it turns out it happened in 2011, the last time the Brewers were in the playoffs. However, it is the first time the Brewers have won a post-season game and the Packers won on a Monday. So it’s semi-historical. The Packers game was on my second screen for the majority of the evening. It’s something young Sentinel people do when one mind-numbing screen isn’t enough. Sometimes it’s Editor difficult to watch just one thing on Jonathan Richie television, so often we watch two screens. (I’ve even heard of people that use three screens, my tolerance isn’t built up enough to handle that.) I was working late and started watching the Brewers in the second inning when they already had a one run lead. You may know that earlier this year I demanded the Brewers fire Craig Counsell and that’s because of the type of fan I am. If my favorite team has a great player like Aaron Rodgers, I demand a Super Bowl victory every year or it’s a waste of his talent. I know Scott Skiles is one of the few Wisconsin coaches I never demanded be fired, mainly because the Milwaukee Bucks were never outstanding in those days. The Brewers look great. Yeah, one of their pitchers (Josh Hader) said some pretty terrible and inexcusable things on social media– showing he was homophobic, misogynist and racist– but teenagers are dumb, especially on the Internet. I’m pretty sure it’s part of God’s plan. Also, last time the team made it to National League Championship Series, in 2011, was the year Ryan Braun was the league MVP. He later got busted for steroids, then lied about it and was suspended for 65 games. But that’s in the past. My dad once told me that pitchers, catchers and coaches cover their mouths during mound visits because people could be reading their lips and report it back to the manager in the dugout. Allegedly there are grown men that get to watch baseball games on television, they also have direct lines to the dugout. It sounds like an awesome job, but that guy for the LA Dodgers really screwed it up. The camera got a close-up of Hader’s fastball grip and nobody told Matt Kemp because he still struck out. In conclusion, Go Brewers! 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.

Don’t be a hater, HAL In the 1968 science fiction film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” a crew is traveling to Jupiter, aided by the most sophisticated computer ever made, the HAL 9000. Spoiler alert: During the course of the movie, forced to lie to the crew, HAL loses his “mind” and murders all but one member of the crew. Not a sterling example of the benefits of artificial intelligence, more commonly referred to nowadays as AI. AI is a big topic in the news. Developers envision a time when AI will be able to be a benevolent watchman, keeping us safe from ourselves as self-driving cars populate the highways and robots perform many tasks. I’m not convinced. Going back to one of my axioms in life: “the answers to all of life’s problems are found in the movies,” it is widely known that AI will sooner or later become selfaware and kill us all. Am I the only one who learned the lessons of “The Terminator” and see the seeds of Skynet everywhere? “Skynet” has the same number of letters as “Google.” Coincidence? I think not. A headline last week brought this all to the top of my mind. Amazon (also the same number of letters as “Skynet”) has dropped From the an AI program four years in develPublisher’s opment designed to review top job applicants’ resumes and give recomDesk mendations. The program looked at Tom Stangl resumes to find keywords that were then given one to five stars, much the commerce giant does with product reviews. The program also would “crawl” the internet looking for persons with the talents that the company was looking to find. All of this was done for the best of intentions. Amazon has more than tripled its global workforce to 575,000 since 2015.

As early as a year into the project, Amazon noticed that the system was not ranking candidates for software developers and other technical jobs in a gender-neutral manner. Amazon’s AI had a gender bias: it didn’t like women. According to news reports, it wasn’t the software’s fault. It was programmed to sift through candidates by looking at patterns in resumes submitted to the company over a decade. Herein lay the problem: the majority of applicants were men during these early years, so the software “learned” that male applicants were preferable to female job seekers and ranked them accordingly. Coders made changes to the program but decided earlier this year that the project should be shelved. I’m not naïve to believe that this stunted development will keep AI from one day being relied upon to do many of the more mundane tasks in our increasingly more complicated world. It will happen, but this “woman-hating HAL 9000” story should serve as a much-needed cautionary tale. There’s an old adage in computer programming: garbage in, garbage out. It means that it is an extremely rare occurrence for a machine to improve upon flawed instructions or data it has been given. This time, it’s a humorous headline, the type of story Johnny Carson or David Letterman would have turned into some great jokes. But I think it should also be a wake-up call about our own hubris. We believe that we are the masters of everything from nature to all we create. News flash: we are flawed and need to embrace that imperfection. If we don’t learn that, there is no hope for HAL.

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.

Fiscal Facts: Access to High-Quality Subsidized Child Care Varies Among Counties WISCONSIN POLICY FORUM
Wisconsin’s two most populous counties, Milwaukee and Dane, have the most high-quality child care providers participating in the Wisconsin Shares subsidy program for low-income families. But when the share of providers in each county with those high-quality ratings is analyzed, a different picture emerges. Dane County ranks third statewide, with high-quality providers comprising roughly 42 percent of all providers in the county. In Milwaukee County, however, high-quality providers account for just 13 percent of the county’s total of 1,130 child care facilities. Vilas and Bayfield counties in far northern Wisconsin rank the highest in the concentration of high-quality child care
providers, with 67 percent and 60 percent of all providers in each county respectively rated four or five stars, the highest ratings. Burnett and Shawano counties— also in the northern half of the state— round out the top five, with approximately 40 percent each. With the exception of Dane, however, the counties with the highest concentrations of high-quality providers have small numbers of regulated care options, with 10 total providers or fewer. Five counties in Wisconsin have no high-quality child care providers: Crawford, Florence, Kewaunee, Menominee, and Pepin. This information is a service of the Wisconsin Policy Forum, the state’s leading resource for nonpartisan state and local government research and civic education.

It’s Amore’ I have been reading cookbooks the last few weeks because the cooler weather gets me all excited about cooking after a summer loaded with salads and grilling. I don’t know about you, but my cooking changes dramatically with the seasons. In the fall, I want foods that are rich and warming. I think about the deep flavors of wine, fall vegetables, and melted cheese. One of the perks of being the main “cooker” at our house is that I get to decide what we eat. All last week I craved pasta. Not just any old pasta—I wanted pasta stuffed with cheese, meat or mushrooms. One of my favorite dishes is tortellini, but at the grocery store last week I Wild Chow skipped the familiar fresh pastas. Lisa Erickson I tried something new and interesting—extra large ricotta cheese stuffed ravioli topped with a Bolognese sauce. Bolognese is different from the traditional American spaghetti sauce most people make. Abroad, Bolognese is the standard. Bolognese does not have typical Italian spices like oregano, thyme, and basil. In fact, most traditional recipes leave out the garlic. The vegetables really shine and it pairs nicely with the ricotta stuffed ravioli. Ricotta cheese is very mild and almost sweet. If it were paired with a stronger sauce you wouldn’t be
able to taste the ricotta. Give it a try. It may end up being a new family favorite. It’s amore’ (a new love)! Happy fall, everyone! Authentic Italian Bolognese Sauce 1 lb. ground beef, or a combination of beef and pork, (I like 60 percent beef and 40 percent pork) 2 leeks, sliced very thin—white parts only (be sure to rinse well after slicing—leeks are notorious to have sand or dirt tucked in the layers) 1 celery stalk, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 2 large carrots, minced 2 - 14 oz. cans crushed tomatoes 1/2 cup beef stock or broth 1/2 cup good quality red wine 1/2 tsp. salt Pepper to taste Pinch of nutmeg 4 large ricotta stuffed ravioli or any other kind of fresh pasta In a large saucepan, over a medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until some of the meat begins to brown. Add the vegetables and cook for 5 minutes. Add the broth, red wine, and the canned crushed tomatoes. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 90 minutes uncovered or until the sauce is thick.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR New Approach to Wisconsin State K-12 Funding. 1. Simplicity of Taxpayer Understanding and applies to all K-12 schools. a. State Average Revenue per member $13,459. Have DPI Verify. b. State Average Revenue per Special Needs Child. Full funding. None of this 90% Private, 26% Public non-sense. DPI must have an average for this group. These two factors a. and b. need to be separated and reported as such. c. District’s Economically Disadvantaged level. Grantsburg = 33.3%, add 5% to each 10% = 15% x $13,459= $2,019. $13,459 + $2,019 = $15,478 per member. d. Performance incentive; increase based on incremental gain. Grantsburg at 70.3%. via report card. For each 2% gain = 1% bonus to revenue. $15,478 x.01=$155 = $15,633 per member. e. District Consolidation at the Su-
perintendent level only. Incentive of 10% to above for next 3 years. $15,633 + .1 $ 1,563 = $17,196 per member per year for 3 years. 61% of districts have declining enrollment. State enrollment is near flat for the last ten years. Rural schools make up 75% of Districts. f. Move States Contribution from 46% to 52% level to support and maintain commitments. Lower property levels to incent non-residents to become residents. This lowers local property taxes by 6%. g. Wisconsin’s Priorities K-12? h. Inmates are worth 2.9 times more than students? State average K-12 revenue/cost per member is $13,459. How much does it cost to house an inmate in Wisconsin? As of 2015, Wisconsin pays to house each of the 22,461 inmates in the state’s prisons $38,644. The Wisconsin Department of Corrections said it costs about $38,644 per inmate every year to

For the next 3 years reduce inmate spending by 5% per year, about $6.5 million more for K-12 schools. The quality of inmate life needs to shift downward, to less than a field Soldier’s daily life. Soldiers vote, inmates lost that privilege. Another solution. Wisconsin could rake in an additional $90 million in internet sales taxes this fiscal year, if lawmakers decide to start collection this fall, according to an analysis released Monday 7/2/18. All of this should go to K-12 funding, Special Education. All our State people in Madison have many areas to be looked at for increased State funding for K-12, our future adults.

Let’s prepare for the inevitable! Disconnect all yard hoses. A water-filled hose left out in cold weather will freeze. If the hose is still connected to the faucet, ice can back up into the pipe inside your house causing the pipe to crack. Disconnect all hoses from their faucets, drain them and store them for the winter. If you have "frost-free" exterior faucets (hose bibs) - no tending to them is needed. The working parts of a frost-free hose bib— valve, seat and washer—are located up to 18 in. inside the wall instead of right at the faucet. When the hose bib is properly installed (with a slight downward pitch), water drains from the pipe every time you turn it off. If your hose bib is NOT frost-free, you should do the following: Turn off outdoor faucets at their shut-off valves. Open the faucet and then open the bleeder cap on the shut-off valve to drain any water out of the pipe. If you don’t drain the pipe, it can still freeze and crack. Leave the bleeder cap open with a bucket underneath to catch any drips. If the dripping continues, your shut-off valve needs to be replaced.

METH PROBLEM Both candidates agree that the sheriff’s department needs a full-time drug officer to combat the extensive methamphetamine problem in Burnett County. Sybers pointed out Siren PD, along with Grantsburg and Tribal PD, received money for a traffic grant for seat belts. “We took off the street 43 people in one summer that had drugs in their car,” Sybers said. He continued by explaining that those traffic stops lead to more arrests. “That led to more search warrants and putting more people behind bars,” Sybers said. He said that getting these people off the street is important because they are out there burglarizing and stealing so they have money to feed their drug habit. Finch suggested pooling resources with the FBI and Department of Justice. She said she has worked with both departments in the past and that having the cases go through the federal system lead to heavier sentences. “(This) keeps them off our streets for a longer period of time,” Finch said. Other questions revolved around staffing the department, school safety and the possibility of a new jail for Burnett County. Bob Rombach of We Are Grantsburg live-streamed the event and anyone wanting to check out the full video can find it on their Facebook page, facebook. com/wearegrantsburg.

SWAT RETURNING TO BURNETT COUNTY Sybers pointed out throughout the evening that he and Finch are good friends. They went through the academy at the same time in 1991 and worked together on the SWAT team, back when Burnett County had their own SWAT team. They both said that SWAT or something similar to it should be brought back to the county, mostly so they don’t have to rely on a SWAT team from another county. Finch pointed out that currently they call a neighboring county who executes a search warrant. She wants Burnett County officers to have more control over the situation and entry. Finch also said that the SWAT equipment is in relatively good shape and that all that would need replacing is their shields in the bulletproof vests.

Sybers highlighted his experience and knowledge of budgets at the village and county level. Finch, a detective with the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office, said she has years of experience in the sheriff’s office starting at the jailer/dispatch position. She said that position is underappreciated mainly because those two positions could not be any more different. One deals with prisoners who don’t want to be there, the other deals with people who are going through a potential crisis.

Fall timber sales expected to bring in well over minimum bid price JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNMENT CENTER––The Forest and Parks Department opened up the bidding on 21 tracts of forest in Burnett County, and they accepted bids for 17 tracts totaling over $700,000. “They’re just getting to the good stuff, the timber sales,” County Conservationist David Ferris said to a man entering the meeting room just following Ferris’ brief report to the Natural Resources committee. “$712,071.43 is the total for the bids,” Kari Letch of the Forest and Parks Department said. The committee’s ViceChair, Norman Bickford, pointed out that “the minimum bid total was $526,402 and we didn’t even sell four or five tracts.” Before the bid opening, Forest Administrator Jake Nichols said that they should reach $1 million in timber sales this year. Even last Thursday, when it was in the 30s and a wintry mix was falling. “They’re out there today because they got to get it done,”
Nichols said. He also reported the purchase of the Dogtown property was completed with the help of a stewardship grant. The acquisition makes a solid tract of county forest. “The property is 45 acres off of Dogtown Road just north of Webb Lake,” Nichols told the committee back in Dec. 2017. “It is completely surrounded by county forest and is pretty barren.” REC OFFICER Recreation Officer Ryan Bybee gave his report on the ATV season to the committee. After that, he gave a short overview of their equipment. He explained that most of the people he deals with are people from out of town. “We’re not dealing with people that live up here or people that come up to their cabins. For the most part, it’s people that don’t know the area,” Bybee said. Bybee gave the committee information regarding time spent on the ATV trails, approximately 766 hours, and time on snow trails, about 99 hours. He also explained how the sheriff’s department gets reimbursed for the time on
the trails. County Supervisor Gene Olson asked Bybee about the growing number of bike trails opening up in Burnett County if there is a way to get reimbursed for patrolling those bike trails. Nichols explained it to Olson. “There is no program for patrolling bike trails at the moment,” Nichols said. “But if there are ATV or snowmobile issues on the bike trails, that an officer responds to, that is something we can apply for reimbursement for.” The conversation then shifted to how much safer the trails are in case of an accident. “It used to take two hours sometimes to get accident victims out of there,” Bybee said. “Now we can usually get in and out much faster because of how the trails are set up.”

Holidays, water and fire discussed at the Webster Village Board meeting LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF
WEBSTER—The October Webster Village board meeting contained a light agenda, but covered initial discussion on several topics. Personnel Committee Chair Sarah Casady said the current employee handbook does not address employee compensation for working on a recognized holiday. Casady did say that the union contract with the Wisconsin Professional Police Association (WPPA) indicated that employees working holidays are reimbursed at 1.5 times their hourly rate. At present, only one officer with the Police Department is a member of the WPPA. President Jeff Roberts indicated that they should contact their operators’ union representative as well before approving a rate for the employee handbook.
The board approved Michael Zajac to fill the position of full-time police officer. Zajac will graduate from his law enforcement certification training on Oct. 18 and his anticipated first day of work is Monday, Oct. 22. Public Works Director Jay Heyer advised that a piece of land west of the Village Hall and past the end of Main St. has been purchased by a citizen who was making inquiries regarding running village sewer and water to the property. “I talked to him just recently. He’s talking about building a house back there, and he’s talked to Dennis Quinn about building a little campground there. It is quite a distance to get back there,” Heyer said. He suggested the property owner approach the Village Board to discuss the matter further. Heyer also said there might be other provisions by the Public Service Commission or
DNR regulations. The discussion will be tabled until a future date when the Board can speak with the property owner. The Webster Rural Fire Association will be looking into a new piece of equipment in the next year or two. Tim Maloney, Trustee for the Fire Association, and Charlie Weiss talked about the process of researching the purchase of a new apparatus. Maloney reported it could be $500– 600 thousand for a new truck with prices climbing as high as $1 million depending on features. The proposal is to replace the current 1992 ladder truck and the main pumper with a single unit that combines the best of both. Machines
of this type are special-ordered, and will take six-to-eight months from order to delivery. IN OTHER ITEMS: • Kelsey Gustafson, Street Committee Chair, reported that while Bass Avenue paving has not been completed yet, it will be before the end of construction season. He also advised that crosswalk marking was stalled by the recent wet weather but will resume when the weather allows. • The Board reviewed some items in preparation for their annual Budget Meeting, Oct. 17, and the Budget Public Hearing, Nov. 14., 5:45 p.m.

Webster Schools will start implementing data platform to track progress of students JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
WEBSTER––The Webster School board heard a presentation on the data platform, Educlimber, at Monday night’s monthly meeting. The platform can be used to track all types of statistics from attendance to test scores and even disciplinary history. “We’ve just scratched the surface of this,” Elementary School Principal Martha Anderson said. “We can do a million new things with it.” Anderson along with Middle School Principal Pam Peterson and Title 1/Resource Reading Specialist Kari Roppe attending a boot camp for Educlimber earlier this month in Madison and have brought that information back to use throughout the district. Educlimber stores academic data for students all in one place. The district is currently inputing previously recorded data and principals will soon begin training teachers on how to best use the program. Anderson explained that she has been going over the disciplinary data for the elementary school and said that most of the incidents happen on the bus. “Now that tells me that we should start a bus behavior program,” Anderson said. She then described a reward system that ends with students earning root beer floats if they behave well for a certain amount of days in a row.
She points out that last year they saw a similar issue in the lunch room and started a program to combat it. Peterson talked about the amount of historical data that can be stored in the program. That amount of data can show teachers how students do in specific subjects and over time if an how much they are improving. Superintendent Jim Erickson said after the presentation, “I can’t wait to see what this is used for in two years,” once the entire district knows the ins and outs of the program. TEACHER SHORTAGE Erickson gave the board a quick recap of the teacher shortage “Some of it is from a number of retirements after Act 10,” Erickson said referring to the 2011 law which restricted teachers collective bargaining. Erickson presented information, from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, on the shortage saying that the number of people completeing programs to become educators is down 28 percent in Wisconsin, down 38 percent in Minnesota and down 70 percent in Illinois. He also said the number of emergency licenses being issued has risen dramatically over the last six years. IN OTHER ITEMS: The board approved a request from the Volleyball
team to attend the state tournament in Green Bay. They also approved a request for the Cross Country Team to attend the state tournament in Wisconsin Rapids.

Confusion on adding FT jail/dispatch position JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
BURNETT COUNTY –– After initially turning down two new full-time positions for the jailer/ dispatch position last month, the Administration committee approved those positions, and included them with the proposed 2019 budget. The Government Center in Meenon will hold a budget hearing on Thursday, Oct. 18 before the County Board of Supervisors meeting. There was some confusion between the committee and Jail Administrator Mark Schmidt. The committee eliminated and ignored Schmidt’s request for two new fulltime positions at their September meeting. Schmidt said he went over the minutes of the last Administration committee meeting and was not sure why the positions weren’t added. He said it would be better to have full-time employees for the jailer/ dispatch position than continuing to hire reserve workers, which can
only work 30 hours a week while covering for full-time employees. “Nobody can live on 30 hours a week,” Schmidt said. “Hiring these full-time positions will, hopefully, allow the people up there (in the jail) to take some vacation time.” Schmidt reiterated to the committee that his department is the only one in the county that needs staffing 24/7. Wisconsin state law says that three people need to be working a jail like Burnett County’s at all time. “One person cannot run the jail floor by themselves, anymore,” Schmidt said. “It’s too dangerous.” County Chair Don Taylor admitted he was confused about the number of staff Schmidt had working and made a motion, that carried with no opposing votes, to re-add those positions to the 2019 budget. The committee also discussed setting minimum bids on three tax deed parcels. Two of the properties are in the Village of Grantsburg, and the other is in the Village of Siren. Members of the committee along with County Clerk Wanda
Connie’s Costume Ball
Hinrichs and County Treasurer Judy Dykstra went out to the properties to get a look at them and take some pictures. The first property they discussed was at 409 E. Madison Ave. in Grantsburg. Taylor said there were possible issues with the roof. He added that the village assessor said the half-acre lot was worth around $37,000. The committee approved the minimum bid of $2,500 with a stipulation that the new owner has a year to clean up the property. The next property was at 364 W. Jackson Ave. in Grantsburg. Taylor said it is on “a really nice lot.” The minimum bid on that property will be $9,500. The final property the committee discussed was at 24101 Ellis Ave. in Siren. Hinrichs explained the home was locked and they could not get in. Taylor mentioned there is a federal lien on the property and said it might not sell before the year is over. The minimum bid on this property was set at $15,000.

Dazzling Daughters Dance offers special memories LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF
GRANTSBURG—Grantsburg Continuing Education invites daughters and their father figures to attend their fourth annual Dazzling Daughter Dance. At 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 27, party-goers will descend on the Grantsburg Middle School “ballroom” for an evening of fun, food, and dancing. Open to daughters from junior kindergarten through Grade 12, the event draws approximately 100 participants each year. There is no black-tie requirement, but it is not uncommon to see a lot of finery, especially since there is an opportunity for a photo souvenir of a daughter and her special someone. And in this case, that special someone should be a prominent man in her life: father, stepfather, grandfather, or uncle. “At first, the guys are a bit leery of attending. However, it’s so special for the girls,” says Grantsburg Community Education Director Rebekah Stavne. Some of the best childhood memories are of times spent with the significant adults in our lives, and Grantsburg Continuing Education seeks to help create those special times with family-fo-

cused events that take the stress and planning out of the equation, usually for less than a night at the movies would cost. While the Dazzling Daughter Dance was the first of these family-focused events, there are three other get-togethers to share with family members, and it is not too early to mark your calendars. Other family-focused events offered are the Mom and Son Create Night– Friday, Nov. 9.; a just-for-us-guys Power Wheels Party–Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019; and the ever-popular ladies’-day-out Princess Crafternoon Tea, Saturday, Feb. 16, 2019. Although coordinated by the Grantsburg Community Educa-
tion, the dance is being organized by community members Theresa Anderson and Donna Chell. Stavne says that these occasions are not part of the School District budget and that donations and registration fees support the events. “I’m trying to find ways to fund these events. That really helps their sustainability,” Stavne shared. “My vision is that we would have four supporters, one for each of the four family-focused functions we do each year I’m looking for an individual or a business who can commit to an amount of a few hundred dollars each year and be a part of the growth of that event.” This year, Village Floral and Gifts of Grantsburg is a supporter of the Dazzling Daughter Dance. Moreover, the welcome mat is out. “Just because we are holding it in Grantsburg doesn’t mean you can’t come,” Stavne said. “I had a family from Pine City who wanted to come to the dance. These events are open to anybody. We want the students to have a positive memory with their significant other.” To register and for more information, visit www.gk12.net/grantsburg/ced and click on Program Guide, or call 715-463-4701.

Don’t be mean behind the screen EMILY OVIK, COORDINATOR MENTAL HEALTH TASK FORCE OF BURNETT COUNTY
Just as the use of technology itself has evolved, so has the ability to bully. Bullying has now moved into the online world. Bullying through electronic means is referred to as “cyberbullying.” Today, children are not only asking for their own tablets, gaming devices, and mobile phones at a younger age, they also want access to popular social media sites, and the ability to engage in online games and share information. Young people are now engaging with each other in the cyber world, often without adult monitoring. The impact bullying can have on a child can negatively impact a child’s educational performance, self-esteem and self-worth, cause anxiety and depression and may even lead to thoughts of self-harm. Luckily, the Mental Health Task Force of Burnett County (MHTFBC), a volunteer committee devoted to breaking the negative stigma surrounding mental health, has joined the effort to raise awareness about bullying prevention. The MHTFBC has teamed with area schools to organize a Chalk Art Competition, designed to get students to talk about bullying and prevent it. The Chalk Art Competition is an opportunity to spread the message to prevent bullying through outdoor artistic drawing. The local schools, Webster, Siren, Grantsburg, and the Northwest sites, will be creating their chalk art drawings at their campuses throughout the week of Oct. 22 – please visit Healthy Burnett’s Facebook page to see the final project! The message for this year’s chalk art is: don’t be mean behind the screen. As damaging as bullying is, there is hope, because bullying is an issue that can be prevented. When students, parents, educators, and others unite, it means one less student being bullied, one more person speaking out, and another young person knowing that they are not alone. For more information, please visit http://www. pacer.org/bullying.

SIREN –– “A lot of people come in here,and they may buy something, sure,” Tom Morrison says. “But the one thing I’m not selling is memories. I’m giving those away and they’re mostly good ones.” Morrison opened Collectors: Arms, Ammo & Antiques late this summer on Service Road in Siren on the west side of State Road 35. Morrison, who lives in Danbury, chose this location because of the high traffic along 35. He has filled the space with collectibles and vintage items throughout American history that he has collected himself over the years. “It’s a lot of gun stuff, mostly related to marketing guns,” Morrison says as he points to numerous old signs from the 1970s throughout the shop. “I’ve filled it with my collection that has accumulated
from my life.” Morrison explains how he has been retired for a few years now after 30 years of being a truck driver. In those 30 years, he would attend gun shows to sell items in his collection. “I used to go to gun shows and sell there,” Morrison recalls. “I would drive 400 to 900 miles to get to a show and then it would take seven or eight hours to set up the table. That’s why I wanted to open up here.” Morrison has a selection of guns for sale along with antique ammo, which is a personal favorite of his for a multitude of reasons. “These small boxes of ammo were always really easy to set up at gun shows and I’ve always loved antique ammunition,” Morrison shares. “Gun owners really crave that kind of history,” he says. “So online, I sell old gun manuals. Gun guys have this antique sidearm

with the original box and they are looking for the original manual.” Morrison is referring to his website, vintageguncatalogs.com, which has been operating since the early days of the Internet. He admits he does not sell guns or ammo online, partially due to the expense and also the market is already saturated. “I have a few guns for sale in the shop, but not many,” Morrison admits. “I’ll buy guns from somebody and try to sell them here if I see something interesting, but selling guns is not the majority of the business.” During the conversation, Morrison points out certain items in the shop that he knows he may have difficulty selling. “See that ship over there,” Morrison says as he points to a huge replica of a ship probably from the 1700s. “Very few people have a place to put that in their home. So they come in and get to look at it.” Morrison says it will probably end up in a hotel lobby or somewhere similar. “Young people come in here and they don’t really know what they’re looking for, but they get a feeling here,” Morrison says. “Y’know what that feeling is? It’s of their grandparents. Or if they’re older, it brings them back to their parents. Which I really enjoy.” Collectors is open weekends on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and said, “any other time by chance. So if you drive past, we might be open on a Tuesday.”

Four out of five loons The haunting wail of a common loon drifted through my barely-cracked window one night last May. Amid leaning towers of books and clothes that would soon be headed to Alaska, I gave a wistful sigh. Of all the things I was sad about leaving for a summer, the loons on Lake Namekagon and my duties as naturalist on the Cable Natural History Museum’s weekly Loon Pontoon Tours were near the top of my list. After seven years of studying loons’ adaptations and interpreting their behavior for visitors, I’ve developed a much deeper appreciation for these charismatic fish-eaters. Common loons are just the most southern-ranging (and therefore the most visible) of five different species of loons, though. Despite their name, they aren’t even the most numerous! To my delight, common loons were a regular fixture in lakes along the highways I traveled during my sabbatical. As I drove from Haines, Alaska, through a narrow arm of British Colombia, I gawked at my first treeless tundra of the trip. I also spotted two common loons, their bills tucked away against the cold, as they floated on a chilly lake. It was mid-July before I added to my list of loon species. Ed Berg, a retired ecologist and geologist from Homer, had just taken me across Kachemak Bay to see the Grewingk Glacier. As our water taxi motored in to the harbor, a gray-headed water bird floated around the corner of a barnacle-crusted rock. I snapped two quick photos, then zoomed in on my screen. The profile was unmistakably loon. Its pale gray head, black and white stripes down the side of its neck, and smaller checkered patch on its back distinguished it from our common loons, and narrowed the ID down to a Pacific or Arctic loon. The two species look almost identical, and Pacific loons were only classified as their own species in 1985. The range maps for each species made ID easy, though. Pacific loons are found throughout Alaska, while Arctic loons are rare visitors. Other than being slightly smaller than the common loon and nesting on lakes above tree line, the life history of Pacific loons is very similar to our familiar ones. They nest on shore, eat a variety of small fish, need a long runway to take off from the water, and are clumsy on land. In a unique twist, the ones that winter off the coast of Japan have been observed cooperating with each other to concentrate schools of fish. Having spotted one new species of loon, my interest in seeing the others now grew. The afternoon that I arrived at the Toolik Field Station to prepare for doing caribou research, I took a short walk around the base to get a feel for the area. The tremolo of a loon flying overhead sent a thrill down my spine, and I watched the large bird land on the far side of Toolik Lake. Was it a common loon? It sounded similar. But
Yellow-billed loons are close relatives of our local common loons, with similar breeding and feeding behaviors. Red-throated loons can be hard to find in the U.S., but are actually the most widely distributed loon and range across the far north of North America, Europe, Greenland, and Asia. They can get airborne without a long runway, which allows them to use smaller bodies of water.
the logo for Toolik features a yellow-billed loon, and I was sure the scientists would have chosen it deliberately. During my return trip across the Toolik Lake Inlet and back toward the dining hall, I spotted a couple of loons fishing at the mouth of that little creek. Using my camera’s zoom again, I examined the black and white plumage—exactly like a common loon’s—and peered excitedly at the pale-colored bill where I usually see black. Not only were these my sought-after yellow-billed loons, but the pair was feeding their chick little minnows, in exactly the same way that I’ve watched common loons feed their young on my Loon Pontoon Tours. I later read that a pair raises chicks there almost every year. It’s no surprise that these pale-beaked loons feel so similar to my old friends. Scientists theorize that common and yellow-billed loons only diverged into separate species during the last glacial period, 100,000 years ago or so. Ice separated loons living in the continental U.S. from loons living in the far north along the Arctic Ocean. Many of their breeding, feeding, and behavioral traits remain similar. The yellow-billed loon is the least numerous of the five loons species, as well as the largest. And, probably due to its larger size, it also has a deeper voice than our common loons. Now that I’d seen the most similar loon to the ones I’d left back home, my last goal was to see the most different loon. Red-throated loons were probably the first loon species to evolve their current form, about 21 million years ago. They are also the smallest, and weigh only 2-6 pounds compared to the yellow-billed’s 9-14 pounds. Due to their size, red-throated loons can use smaller ponds, take off directly from water or land without a runway, and breed even on the northernmost coast of Greenland. Tessa and I had barely started our second day of driving the caribou transect together, when I spotted a suspicious bird on a puddle a mile or so south of Deadhorse. I zoomed all the way in and steadied my camera on the truck’s open window, snapping shots until the bird took off in a shower of water droplets. Eager to find caribou, we got going, too. It wasn’t until I loaded the photos onto my laptop that I noticed the loon’s red throat. Look as we might on three more days of driving, I never caught sight of that red-throated loon again. Maybe someday—while I’m out looking for gray-headed chickadees in Scandinavia, Russia, or northern Japan—I’ll be lucky enough to spot an Arctic loon as well. In the meantime, I was happy to return home in time to see the common loons on Lake Namekagon. My journey has ended, and their fall migration has begun. Emily was in Alaska for the summer! She’s home now, but has more stories to tell. Follow the journey in this column, and see additional stories and photos on her blog: http://cablemuseum.org/connect.

Once you know a price range, then you need to determine what will fit you best for your price, whether it be the location or number of bedrooms needed.

If you have standing water you water you have drainage issues that should be addressed. A driveway with proper grade and drainage will require less costly maintenance. They will also dry out faster in the spring and be less apt to rut. Each driveway is unique with its problems and solutions so if you are unsure call one of estimators for a free consultation.

CORNELL—The Grantsburg Pirates haven’t lost a regular season game since October of 2014, and they continued that streak on Friday night as they defeated the Lake Holcombe-Cornell Knights 56-8 to take their fourth consecutive undefeated Large Lakeland Conference title. This year’s team has written another page in the Grantsburg football history books as no team has ever accomplished this amazing feat, and as head
coach Adam Hale pointed out during a recent pep fest “...will probably never happen again.” This year’s seniors have had an amazing run in their high school football careers, with stories to share for years to come. “Our senior class are 36-0 in regular season games for their four year career,” Coach Hale said. “That’s an unbelievable accomplishment and it’s been such a pleasure coaching these guys not only for their talent but how they come to work in practice everyday.” The Pirates were pumped up and
came out firing on Friday night, and on the second play of the game Ben Johnson picked off a weird pitch by the LHC quarterback to put Grantsburg on offense deep in Knights’ territory. Leo Chenal put the Pirates on the board first with an eight-yard touchdown run. Jared VanWatermuelen’s extra point kick was true to give them the 7-0 lead with 7:00 to go in the first quarter. “This team was determined to finish the regular season on a positive note and had a great start playing very well on defense with Ben Johnson making

Dragons advance; Tigers’ season ends
Pirates boys first, Tigers eighth at Conference meet BALSAM LAKE—The Lakeland Conference cross country meet was last Tuesday at Unity High School. The Grantsburg boys claimed first place with the girls getting fifth at the meet. Webster’s boys grabbed eighth place. “Wet, muddy and cold are words that describe the conditions of the Conference meet,” commented Tiger coach Roy Ward. “There were moments running around that it had a smell more like a marina than a CC course. The athletes were covered in mud and the course was like the biggest Slip-N-Slide ever. I teased the girls that they
a nice play on the fumble recovery the second play of the game,” Coach Hale said. Leo Chenal got his second TD of the night on the Pirates’ next possession when he punched it in from one yard out. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good to go up 14-0. The Pirates lit up the scoreboard once more in the first quarter when quarterback Luke Anderson found an open Bryce Roufs for the 15-yard score. The PAT was good to put the Pirates up 21-0 with 49 seconds to go in the quarter.

Behind the front line work of Cassie Maslow, Julia Cederberg, Karlee Sybers and Jade Horstman, the Siren Dragons defeated Lake Holcombe 3-0 Tuesday night to advance to the regional semi-finals in Division 4. “We were confident going in,” said Coach Kristin Kosloski. “We have a big challenge on Thursday night. The Dragons will go to Chippewa Falls McDonell for a 7 p.m. match. Webster traveled to Unity and lost in five games, 3-2 in a Division 3 play off matchup. “The girls fought hard,” said Coach Stefanie Janssen. “I’m very proud of how hard they worked this season and I think we’re all excited to see what next year brings!” Quote from junior Kaitlyn Lee: “Being such a young team has been challenging but we are working to grow stronger as a team. We are looking forward to adding more players to the volleyball program as it continues to expand. We had a good season overall, unfortunately we took more losses than we would’ve liked but we still played our hardest. Next year we’ll come back with motivation and the drive to take it farther into the post season.” Grantsburg, also in Division 3, had a bye in the first round in their regional and will host Cumberland on Thursday night.

Pirates secure conference title with win over SCF BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
ST. CROIX FALLS—The Grantsburg Pirates volleyball team secured themselves at least a share of the West Lakeland Conference Championship after defeating the St. Croix Falls Saints on Tuesday, Oct. 9. The Pirates came into the match looking to avenge an earlier season loss to the Saints which left them tied in the conference standings. Both teams had one conference loss heading into the final week of the regular season. Grantsburg’s only loss was to SCF, and the Saints’ lone loss was to Unity. ‘“Respect all. Fear none.” The Saints are very worthy opponents. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous heading into this match,” Pirates head coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “They are so tall. They are the most ominous presence we have felt at the net by opponents of all divisions. However, we rose to the challenge.” The Pirates looked like a completely different team compared to the first time these two teams met, and took the first two sets without much trouble, 2519 and 25-18. But the Saints were not going to go away, and came storming back in the third set. The Pirates struggled with their serve receive in this set, and balls were flying in every direction except back over the net where they should be. The Pirates suddenly found themselves down 9-17 with a big hill in front of
them. They slowing started to claw their way back into the game, exchanging points with the Saints to bring the score to 16-22. From there, Grantsburg went on a little run and suddenly they were within one point at 23-24. The Saints had a chance to end the set, but a huge block by freshman Hanne Johnson put a stop to that to tie it up at 24-24. Both teams had their chances to end the set, but instead rallied back and forth with some amazing hits and digs by both squads, knotting up the score at 25-25, 26-26, 27-27, and 28-28 before the Saints finally took the win at 28-30. Fans and players from both sides were fired up and ready for a long night of volleyball after that, but it was as if SCF had poked a sleeping bear. The Pirates took the energy and momentum from that third set into the fourth, and completely dominated the Saints from start to finish winning this set 25-7 to end the night. “Fans were treated to some really long rallies with big swings and digs by both teams, plus that third set nail-biting finish where we dug out of a 9-17 hole to almost pull off the “overcome” deficit,” Coach Allaman-Johnson said. “We battled back and played hard to turn the energy around, taking turns tying it up and pulling ahead to game point until they finally finished us off for a 28-30 loss. By then, I knew we had changed the momentum and were ready to finish strong.” “I’m proud of these girls for not giv-

In quarter two, Trevor Gustafson ran 51 yards for touchdown and in the third period, Nathan Stadler ran the ball in from the one-yard line. The Saints got their only score in the last period on a five-yard run. Quarterback Trevor Gustafson was seven for 14, good for 92 yards. He also rushed 11 times for 75 yards. Stadler rushed nine times for 41 yards and one score. “I thought the field conditions were going to make it hard for the offense to consistently move the ball and it showed at times.

should enjoy the free day at the spa where the mud is free today...that tactic didn’t work. By the time the girls ran, the course was in rough condition, you couldn’t even tell where the start was.” “Hunter (Erickson) led the Tigers and earned his All-Conference status with a fourth place finish in a time of 17:52. He ran better than I thought he would in those conditions. I guess it helps when he has a freshman boy from another school pushing him. You got to love the competitive drive and the will to win. The same is true between teammates Edwin (Janssen) and Kerik (Stubbe). They are making each other better. Edwin was ahead of Kerik until the very last stretch. Kerik has those long legs which were not an advantage in the muddy curves, but was able to make the final push on the flat and somewhat stable ground (still slippery). Thanks to Edwin, Kerik PR’d with a time of 23:33. I was happy that AJ was able to run and race well. Jamin (Wilson) finished the race with a respect-
able time and effort. Sam Smith ran his personal best performance by 37 seconds.” On the girls side of the coin, “Sam (Nelson) got All-Conference again! Yep, four years in a row and the same eighth place. I don’t think she was super-excited about being eighth again. Being All-Conference is an elite status. Jenna (Gomulak) had the best race for the lady Tigers. She Pr’d with a time of 24:42.” From Pirate coach Lisa McKinley, “It was a cold, wet, muddy race night. It was one of those meets you will always remember. “On the girls side, Gracie Gerber was all-conference, placing sixth. She has grown as a competitor this season and it was nice to see her get rewarded for her hard work. The girls’ team continued to grow and develop as they had many PR’s. It is a joy to watch Alexis Slater and Belle Quimby, who are new runners this season, being contributors to the progression of the team. Savanna Trittelwitz, Mirlande Brande, Hope McKinley and Susan Roberts all add experience to this team and continue to push each other and them-
selves to get better and strive to reach new heights.” Continuing, “For the boys, there were some great races. Will Gerber actually fell down on the course and continued to show mental composure as he got up and finished in fifth place All-Conference. Nate McKinley, again a top racer for us, was ninth adding him to the All-Conference team. Joey Duncan and Connor DeTienne also earn All-Conference awards by getting season PR’s of about 45 seconds. Brody Bongaarts and Andrew Lewis had breakout races with approximately 1:00 PR’s.” “Jordan Janes, Sam Prusinski, Mason Arnold, Dawson Hennessey, Jared Lee and Chase Doornink all were an integral part to the success of the team. All work hard and push each other to keep driving forward and hold each other accountable to their aspirations. I am proud of how the whole team has embraced the process of the season and mentally accepted the challenge of the weather conditions. It was so fun to watch them race strong and finish with a team conference win.”

PIRATES: hoping to extend historic 4-peat season with deep playoff run CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
“Offensively, we threw the ball more times than we have all year and Luke Anderson was very sharp and did a nice job of spreading the ball out to six different receivers,” Hale said of his QB. “We’ll definitely need him to continue throwing it well as we get ready for playoffs.” Roufs found pay dirt for the second time this game early in the second quarter when he broke loose from 25 yards out to score. A bobbled snap on the PAT cost the Pirates, but they held a 27-0 lead. With 3:43 to go before the break, Grantsburg added to their score when Leo Chenal pushed his way through the defense for the score. The two-point conversion was successful when Anderson tossed it to Gabe Chenal to make it 35-0. The Knights had a big return on the kick off to give them their best field position of the night, but the Pirate defense stood strong and shut them down in three plays to force a punt. The Pirates took over on offense buried deep on their own six-yard line with 1:49 left on the clock. On the first play, Leo Chenal catches an Anderson pass that bounced off a LHC defender’s helmet and took it to the 30-yard line before being pushed out of bounds. Grantsburg used their hurry-up offense and methodically made their way down the field, eventually scoring on a one-yard quarterback sneak by Anderson with :05 left on the clock. The PAT was good to give the Pirates a 42-0 lead heading into halftime. The Pirates added to their score twice in the second half. The first score came on an eight-yard pass from

Grantsburg’s Levi Miller hangs on tight to the ball as he runs during the Pirates’ win over the Knights on Friday.
Anderson to Reed Arnold with just under four minutes to go in the third quarter. Again, VanWatermuelen hit the extra point to go up 49-0. The Knights got on the board midway through the fourth quarter along with a two-point conversion. But the Pirates weren’t done scoring yet. David Nelson found a hole and took it 26 yards for the final score of the game. The PAT was good to end the game at 56-8. Anderson completed 15 of 22 attempts on the night for 209 yards and two touchdowns to go along with his one rushing TD. David MacKean was his favorite receiver with five
catches for 58 yards. Gabe Chenal tallied 76 yards on four catches. Arnold had two catches for 24 yards and one touchdown, with Roufs pulling in two catches for 17 yards and one TD. On the ground, it was Leo Chenal leading the way with 149 yards on 19 carries and three TDs. Roufs racked up 74 yards on five carries and one touchdown, and Nelson also had five carries along with a score. Levi Miller carried the ball three times for a total of 11 yards, and Isaac Quimby had four touches for 10 yards. Defensively, it was Miller leading the charge with two solo tackles and five assists. Arnold had one solo and six assists. Tyrell Brande was all over the field with some big hits, racking up four solo tackles and one assist. Roufs added three solos and two assists to the list as well. The Pirates now head into the most important time of the season — playoffs. At the seeding meeting held on Saturday morning, the Pirates received the number two seed. It came down to a coin flip with undefeated Regis, a private school in Eau Claire, to see who would get the number one seed. Grantsburg will host the number seven seed Glenwood City this Friday night as they start their quest to Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. Game time is 7 p.m. “Winning a fourth consecutive conference title was a remarkable accomplishment for this group of seniors but they know they can enjoy that later as the biggest game of the season is now Level 1 vs Glenwood City and trying to earn another week of football,” coach Hale concluded.

We all pass on traditions to those around us
Pastor Jeff Jowers First Baptist Church in Webster
On Oct. 7, First Baptist Webster celebrated 50 years in its current building. It was a great time of celebrating the past, but it also has me thinking a lot about the future. What will the next 50 years look like based on what we do now? We all pass on traditions and values to those behind us. Babies are dressed in favorite team colors, a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first fish or first deer is monumental, and we look forward to celebrating holidays with some element of what we grew up with. The truth is we pass things along whether we mean to or not. Someone notices and fol-
lows suit. The impact of our choices sets the stage for those who come after us. The only question is: what is it that we are leaving behind? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that should permeate all that we pass down. Psalm 145:4 says â&#x20AC;&#x153;One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.â&#x20AC;? As good as anything else is, nothing is greater than God Himself. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing better to talk about than Him and His mighty acts. No greater act has ever been done than the Lord Jesus coming to live, die, and rise to give life to all who believe.

What are you showing that really matters? What are you passing along? Anything else that we make most important would be meaningless and damaging to ourselves and anyone affected by our lives. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more praiseworthy than God Himself and so nothing is more worthy of our efforts to pass along to the next generation. God is too great and His actions too wonderful to give our praise to anything else or have that praise stop with us. Think about all that He is. Praise Him, and pass it on!

Breast cancer will affect an average of one in eight women sometime in their lifetime. It is the second most common cause of cancer related deaths in women. Numerous studies prove that early detection, is a vital component in the successful treatment of breast cancer. Mammograms, an X-ray of the breast, are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms; sometimes up to three years before it can be felt. How is a mammogram performed? You will stand in front of a special X-ray machine. A technologist will place your breast on a clear plastic plate. Another plate will firmly press your
breast from above. The plates will flatten the breast, holding it still while the X-ray is being taken. You will feel some pressure. The steps are repeated to make a side view of the breast. The other breast will be X-rayed in the same way. You will then wait while the technologist checks the X-rays to make sure the pictures do not need to be re-done. Keep in mind that the technologist cannot tell you the results of your mammogram. Each woman’s mammogram may look a little different because all breasts are a little different. What does having a mammogram feel like? Having a mammogram is uncomfortable for most women. Some women find it painful. A mammogram takes only a few moments, though, and the discomfort is over soon. What you feel depends on the skill
of the technologist, the size of your breasts, and how much they need to be pressed. Your breasts may be more sensitive if you are about to get or have your period. A doctor with special training, called a radiologist, will read the mammogram. He or she will look at the X-ray for early signs of breast cancer or other problems. Tips for Getting a Mammogram • Try not to have your mammogram the week before you get your period or during your period. Your breasts may be tender or swollen then. • On the day of your mammogram, don’t wear deodorant, perfume, or powder. These products can show up as white spots on the X-ray. • Some women prefer to wear a top with a skirt or pants, instead of a dress. You will need to undress from your waist up

To our loyal supporters and sponsors of the Hope for the Cure Longaberger Basket Bingo fundraiser It is with much sadness we are making this announcement. We have decided to discontinue holding our annual Hope for the Cure cancer fundraiser. This means there will be no 2019 event. A change in circu mstances with the Longaberger Basket Company has made securing the baskets we use for bingo prizes no longer possible. For the past 13 years because of the loyal support of our bingo players and the generous donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations we have raised thousands of dollars all of which has gone for cancer research (through the PolkBurnett Relay for Life) and to give assistance to those people in our community going through cancer treatments. Thanks to your support we have been able to give gas cards to many people traveling to doctor’s appointments and to have cancer treatments. The notes of thanks we have received from these grateful folks and their fa milies have been very rewarding and hu mbling. Hosting this event has been a wonderful experience for us. We cannot say enough how much it has meant to see our bingo players show up year after year to make the event such a success. You beca me our bingo fa mily and we love you all! We also want to thank our own fa milies and special best friends for their commitment to this fundraiser. They have worked tirelessly year after year, collecting door prizes/donations, volunteering to set up, work at, and clean up after the event. F inally, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the great contributions from our major sponsors, The Burnett County Sentinel for providing all the excellent publicity/advertising, and printing to promote our bingo and the Northwoods Crossing Events Center for providing the wonderful venue to hold our fundraiser. We will continue to make donations to the ACS Polk-Burnett Relay for Life and to assist people in our community struggling with a cancer diagnosis as our remaining funds allow. We had a good run and a lot of fun and hope you all did, too. We ask you continue to support other area cancer fundraisers and benefits held for those fighting cancer. God bless you all.

Determining breast cancer stage When receiving treatment for breast cancer, women will learn about cancer staging. According to the nonprofit organization Breastcancer.org, determining the stage of the cancer helps patients and their doctors figure out the prognosis, develop a treatment plan and even decide if clinical trials are a valid option. Typically expressed as a number on a scale of 0 through IV, breast cancer stage is determined after careful consideration of a host of factors. The staging system, sometimes referred to as the TNM system, is overseen by the American Joint Committee on Cancer and ensures that all instances of breast cancer are described in a uniform way. This helps to compare treatment results and gives doctors and patients a better understanding of breast cancer and the ways to treat it. Breastcancer.org notes that the TNM system was updated in 2018, but before then was based on three clinical characteristics: • T: the size of the tumor and whether or not it has grown into nearby tissue
Determining the stage of the cancer helps patients and their doctors figure out the prognosis, develop a treatment plan and even decide if clinical trials are a valid option.
•
N: whether the cancer is present in the lymph nodes • M: whether the cancer has metastasized, or spread to others parts of the body beyond the breast While each of those factors is still considered when determining breast cancer stage, starting in 2018, the AJCC added additional characteristics to its staging guidelines, which make staging more complex but also more accurate. • Tumor grade: This is a measurement of how much the cancer cells look like normal cells. • Estrogen- and progesterone-receptor status: This indicates if the cancer cells have receptors for the hormones estrogen and progesterone. If cancer cells are deemed estrogen-receptor-positive, then they may receive signals from estrogen that promote their growth. Similarly, those deemed progesterone-receptor-positive may receive signals from progesterone that could promote their growth. Testing for hormone receptors, which roughly two out of three breast cancers are positive for, helps doctors determine if the cancer will respond to hormonal therapy or other treatments. Hormone-receptor-positive cancers may be treatable with medications that reduce hormone production
or block hormones from supporting the growth and function of cancer cells. • HER2 status: This helps doctors determine if the cancer cells are making too much of the HER2 protein. HER2 proteins are receptors on breast cells made by the HER2 gene. In about 25 percent of breast cancers, the HER2 gene makes too many copies of itself, and these extra genes ultimately make breast cells grow and divide in ways that are uncontrollable. HER2-positive breast cancers are more likely to spread and return than those that are HER2-negative. • Oncotype DX score: The oncotype DX score helps doctors determine a woman’s risk of early-stage, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer recurring and how likely she is to benefit from post-surgery chemotherapy. In addition, the score helps doctors figure out if a woman is at risk of ductal carcinoma in situ recurring and/or at risk for a new invasive cancer developing in the same breast. The score also helps doctors figure out if such women will benefit from radiation therapy or DCIS surgery. Determining breast cancer stage is a complex process, but one that can help doctors develop the most effective course of treatment. More information is available at www.breastcancer.org.
