BURNETT COUNTY –– That is how Allison Fern, Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services Director, described the state’s reaction to the methamphetamine crisis concerning its effect on child protective care services. She said the state did increase funding by $5.5 million last year. “That amounted to around $23,000 for our department,” Fern said. “Since 2013, our placement costs for children have increased by 936 percent.” Placement costs in 2013 were $69,577 and in 2017, it ballooned up to $720,912. Fern made a presentation to the County Board last
BURNETT COUNTY –– In August, officers from the Burnett and Washburn County Sheriff offices coordinated with a special agent from the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to shut down a trafficking operation in Trade Lake. Last week, charges for one of the three suspects involved were dropped. Thomas J. Hoff, 58, Trade Lake, was charged with four counts of delivery of methamphetamine, a class F felony, maintaining a

BURNETT COUNTY –– There was one vote from a County Supervisor against opening up county roads to ATV/UTV traffic at last week’s Board of Supervisors meeting. Supervisor Norman Bickford was the only member of the County Board to not vote for opening up the roads; the rest of the Supervisors voted for the resolution to open up county roads. Before the vote, County Chair Don Taylor said that most counties in northern Wisconsin have already passed similar resolutions allowing ATV/UTV traffic on county roads. Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs explained after the meeting that all county roads will soon be open to ATV/UTV traffic with two exceptions.

felony charges for maintaining a drug trafficking place and felony possession of methamphetamine and a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. The third suspect charged in this case was Bobbi J. Rasmussen, 39 of Trade Lake. She was charged with felony bail jumping. She has an open case in Polk County where she is charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of THC, possession of THC with intent, restricting or obstructing an SEE HOFF, PAGE 2

officer, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and felony bail jumping. According to the criminal complaint, the three agencies made four controlled buys of methamphetamine in May and June at 11271 Mourning Dove Lane in the Town of Trade Lake. The buys were for varying weights. During the search on June 12, officers found a variety of glass pipes, which tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine. They also found over four grams of methamphetamine, a multitude of cell phones, some digital scales, gem bags and over 21 grams of marijuana. All three were interviewed at the residence during the search. David was transported to the Burnett County Jail and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Rasmussen was also booked at the Burnett County Jail for felony bail jumping. The complaint includes investigators summary of interviews with David Hoff and Rasmussen. David said he and his brother Thomas had been living at the residence for about a year. He said he doesn’t know anything about the alleged methamphetamine and heroin distribution going on at the house. He added that Thomas used to be a drug user, but did not know what kind of narcotics his brother used. He also told investigators that “quite a few” people stop at the house every week and go upstairs to see his brother. The criminal complaint did not include an interview with Thomas. David Hoff is scheduled to have his preliminary hearing on Nov. 5 in front of Judge Melissia Mogen.

week and brought with her some staggering data from across the county, the state and the entire country. The presentation was also presented last month at a Wisconsin County Human Service Association (WCHSA) conference. “Over the past six years, there has been a 39 percent increase in the number of children in the system,” Fern said. That percentage is an increase of 1,539 children across the state, not including Milwaukee County. She said that standards need to be looked at and adjusted for counties like Burnett, who have departments entirely overrun by burgeoning caseloads. The WCHSA set standards for Child Protective Services (CPS) departments. They state that one supervisor should oversee five CPS workers. Fern said that one supervisor is monitoring seven CPS workers in her department. WCHSA standards also say one CPS worker should have no more than 10 ongoing cases with no more than 15 children in care. Fern outlined that three CPS workers in Burnett County have 12, 13, and 14 cases open. Those cases involve 19, 17 and 20 children in care. Fern also pointed out the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF) estimates that over “80 percent of open cases are either driven or complicated by drug and

alcohol abuse.” One of the slides quoted the 2016 Statewide Study of Methamphetamine in Wisconsin. “For the next five to ten years, Wisconsin will continue to see a statewide growth in meth use, as there are no known signs indicating an eventual collapse or reduction in use.” That message was reiterated in an email from the Wisconsin County Associations (WCA) to county officials across the state. “The child welfare crisis has hit counties from all across the state hard,” the email states. “The increasing number of referrals and out of home placements, coupled with staff burnout, has placed counties in an all too tenuous posi-
tion of struggling to meet the needs of children and families, many of whom are grappling with addiction issues due to the increased use of opiates and meth in all corners of the state.” The WCHSA is requesting an additional $30 million be added to the state’s budget. Counties would use that money to cover out of home expenses and to hire more CPS workers to spread out the excessive caseloads. The Board of Supervisors approved the resolution requesting more funds and oversight reforms. That resolution will go to the state with other counties in hopes of getting more funds over the next few years.
ATV: Sections of County A and O closed CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“County Road O in Anderson township from the St. Croix River to Jimmy Carter Road and County Road A from State Highway 35 to Thompson Road,” he said. County roads in Burnett County are roads designated by a letter - like A or O - and are the only ones affected by Thursday’s vote. State roads have not been opened up to ATV traffic. Neither have town roads like Crosstown or Airport Road. The Highway Department did extensive research on the county roads before offering the resolution. Their research looked at the amount of traffic on county roads, sightline and a plethora of other factors. “If the ADT (average daily traffic) exceeds 1,000 vehicles it is not safe for ATV traffic,” Hoefs said when referencing County Road A. County Road O is not open because sections of the road are gravel and that presents safety concerns. Hoefs continued with saying it is the ATV riders responsibility to
know what roads are open to their traffic. “It is the ATV/UTV user’s responsibility to know what roads and trails are open to ride on before heading out,” he said. “Just because the

county roads are open doesn’t mean adjacent town roads are open.” He also said that safety remains their top concern with all traffic on the roads. Therefore the maximum speed for any ATV or UTV on Burnett County roads is still 25 mph. “Vehicles must stay on the pavement and cannot drive on the gravel shoulder or in ditches, except for instances to ensure the safety of the rider or other road users,” Hoefs added. Supervisor Jeremy Gronski said he believed
the county ordinances. Once that is done, the board will vote to approve the ordinance at the next County Supervisors meetings on Nov. 13. Then the ordinance will be published and will take effect on Nov. 14. Hoefs said all the proper signage should be installed in the next two weeks. “The County Board has the right to close any and all roads to ATV/UTV traffic at any time,” Hoefs said. “If the rules of the road are being ignored the County Board can take away this privilege.”

Parent-teacher (and student) conferences Parent teacher conferences took place at schools around the county over the last couple of weeks. As a kid, I hated parent-teacher conferences because I always had to go with and be a part of the process. In a house full of educators it was not optional. From second grade to senior year, I did not miss one parent-teacher conference. Before and after my parents divorced, mom and dad would force me to the school and we would go listen to teachers talk about me. Sometimes it was helpful, but sometimes I felt I was in the way. That is because, like most children, I acted differently around my parents than I did around teachers and other adults. Here are a few stories from those Sentinel days. “Jonathan doesn’t seem to apply Editor himself in my class,” a teacher Jonathan Richie remarked as I sat there twiddling with my thumbs and staring at my feet. “He seems to just be watching the clock on some days so he can get back to the hallways with his friends.” Then I picked my head up, “Well, you have to agree being in the hallway at this school is much more enjoyable than the classrooms.” There were also real awkward ones, like with a teacher who was trying too hard. The three of us would walk away from the table after a painful eight-minute conference and I would say, “See Mom, I told you that guy was an idiot. It’s the reason I wanted to take Earth Science instead of Physics.” Or the confrontational ones, “Y’know Jonathan. I don’t understand you. Right now, you’re being very pleasant. But in class you’re disruptive, often not paying attention and one day, Ms. Richie, he talked back to me in the cafeteria when I asked him a simple question.” He then wondered out loud why I didn’t like him. It was met by a simple response. “I’ve got 25 minutes or so to enjoy my lunch, that’s all I ask. Twenty-five minutes without answering questions. Also, I have no idea what I want to do with my career.” I believe I told him I wanted to make ceiling tiles for a living just to get him to walk away.
Other Randomness It is a big deal if the government of Saudi Arabia is murdering journalists. It is also a big deal if the President of the United States is downplaying it because of an arms sale. It is very important that those eligible go out and vote. I’ll paraphrase one of the sheriff candidates go vote, it doesn’t matter who you vote for. Do your part as an American on Nov. 6 and exercise that right to vote. Lastly, Netflix’s Making a Murderer part two is pretty good. Gotta question? Gotta tip?

Don’t leave it to the angels It’s nearly safe to come out again. In just over two weeks, the midterm elections will be history. The negative ads will go away for a while and the persons who won will have to figure out how they will be able to form some consensus with the same people that painted them as evil as the Antichrist. As the phrase goes, the devil is indeed in the details. Pollsters estimate that nationally voter turnout is expected to be as high as it has been since 1968. You remember 1968, the year we tried really hard to burn everything down? I think it’s probably a good thing From the Publisher’s that people are going to be voting, but I’m unsure if we should be happy Desk about why they are voting. All you have to do is turn on the Tom Stangl television, pick up a newspaper or b even try to browse your Facebook feed and you will be accosted by a candidate (or their well intended proxy) warning you that their opponent is a very bad person. I know this tactic continues to be used because it has worked for over 200 years. In doing some research for this column, I came across the presidential election of 1800, when President John Adams was being challenged by his vice president Thomas Jefferson. You remember Adams and Jefferson, the “Butch and Sundance” of the Declaration of Independence, right? It turns out the old friends had fallen prey to negative campaigning. Adams was labeled a fool, a hypocrite, a criminal and a tyrant, while Jefferson was branded a weakling, an atheist, a libertine and a coward. Of course, they used proxies to deliver these “messages” to the voters. It wasn’t until both men were on their deathbeds that they reconciled.

Right now, people who care enough about our state and nation to take the time and risk considerable personal, professional and financial risk to seek elected office are doing their best to withstand attacks. I seriously doubt that anyone who is running for office is doing so with the expressed thought of damaging the economy or taking people’s rights away, no matter what the negative ads or letters are saying. At the end of the day, we are all human and deserve a level of basic dignity and respect, even if we choose to be a politician. With the 24-hour news cycle elevating and exacerbating the divides among us, there is talk that our nation is polarized to a level not seen since the Civil War. That’s a pretty high threshold to hit, but hey, they have to talk about something for hours and hours each day. I think it is best to recall the words of Abraham Lincoln, delivered during his first inaugural address. Lincoln knew that there was a very good chance that war was on the horizon when he made this speech. He delivered one of the most poignant and moving passages as he urged the nation to remain together. He said: “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” In the end, the power to cause this change lies within each and every one of us. Only when we demand more will we ever get to a better time. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O.

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.

CAPITOL REPORT
Schimel, Kaul clash over partisanship, experience in debate WISPOLITICS.COM
The race for Wisconsin attorney general hasn’t gotten a lot of attention — given all the ads and coverage of the races for governor and U.S. Senate. But recent ads from incumbent Republican Brad Schimel, Democratic challenger Josh Kaul and their allies, plus a flurry of debates, are allowing voters to know the candidates better. One of the themes of Kaul’s challenge is that Schimel, a former Waukesha County district attorney, is too partisan. Schimel labels Kaul, a former federal prosecutor out of state, as somebody without the right experience. One of Kaul’s targets is Schimel’s creation of the office of solicitor general. Kaul said in one recent debate that he’d keep the solicitor general at the Department of Justice if elected but would re-direct some resources and take a different approach toward using the office. Schimel, meanwhile, called the office a “wild success” and said it’s undefeated in court cases. During a debate organized by the Milwaukee Rotary Club and the Milwaukee Press Club, Kaul said having the office makes sense because it identifies a DOJ employee as the
chief appellate attorney. Still, Kaul said he’d have several criteria for challenging federal laws and policies, and the policy would have to harm Wisconsinites and be unconstitutional. He faulted Schimel, saying the incumbent’s use of the office falls short on the first point, including lawsuits to challenge environmental protections and the Affordable Care Act, which he said could end protections for those with pre-existing conditions. Kaul said he also would move some positions from the office to criminal litigation. According to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau, the office is authorized to have a solicitor general, three deputies and support staff. The office’s budget for 2016-17 was $790,300. “I don’t think that serves the interest of Wisconsinites,” Kaul said of Schimel’s focus with the office. “I think we have more resources in the solicitor general’s office than we need.” Schimel, though, noted the office includes two former U.S. Supreme Court clerks and two others who clerked in the federal appeals courts. He said they “led the charge” against the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, adding the U.S. Supreme Court issued an injunction to cease enforcement of the regulation just
based on briefs submitted to the justices. He agreed with Kaul that the office should be used to challenge unconstitutional actions, arguing the Clean Power Plan would have costs thousands of manufacturing jobs in Wisconsin. “We have done things that have made Wisconsin stronger and safer,” Schimel said. “I’m proud of the work that we’ve done.” One audience member asked about climate change and the role of the AG’s office. Schimel began his response saying, “I believe the climate is ever-changing, yes. To what degree human beings influence that, I’m not a scientist,” prompting some laughs from the crowd. He also defended his record on the environment, which he says he cares about deeply, and touted 2017 as the best year for economic recoveries in environmental cases in DOJ’s history. Kaul countered he’s not a scientist, but he “believes in science” and the consensus is climate change is impacted by humans and the state needs an AG who “is going to acknowledge that.” Kaul also said fines collected from polluters have dropped dramatically under Schimel and companies that break environmental laws should be held accountable.
“In 2018, no parent should have to worry about the safety of our water,” Kaul said. In Wednesday’s debate, their third in five days, the two covered much of the same territory they had in their previous meetings. Kaul knocked Schimel for misplaced priorities, such as suing to overturn the Affordable Care Act. He hit Schimel for not handing out all of the grants under a school safety program before classes started, and added the Republican AG hasn’t done enough to address the state’s opioid and drug problems. Schimel, meanwhile, called Obamacare unconstitutional and argued every candidate from both sides running for office this fall has promised to provide protections for those with pre-existing conditions, meaning a legislative remedy would be available if the law were overturned. Schimel also said he led the way in creating the school safety program and Wisconsin has been a leader in addressing opioid abuse and other drugs. Schimel also continued to contrast his experience with Kaul. He noted several times his Democratic opponent returned to Wisconsin four years ago after working on the east and west coasts, and charged the challenger’s courtroom
experience was light compared to his own. He also defended himself against attacks of partisanship by pointing out the bipartisan support he has from DAs and sheriffs. If the attacks were true, Schimel said, he wouldn’t have more Democratic sheriffs and DAs endorsing him than Kaul does. Kaul countered by pointing out he’s been endorsed by 61 former assistant attorneys general, including 45 with more than 900 years of combined experience at DOJ who said the agency has been a “mess” under Schimel. Schimel said 70 percent of those 45 signed the recall petition for Gov. Scott Walker and all but five of them have a history of donating to Democratic candidates. “That is the most partisan thing you could have said in response to this question,” Schimel said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Northern Wisconsin should Reject New York Style Politics I like Kim Butler. I’ve gotten to chat with her a few times and she seems like a really nice person. But let’s be clear, that is no reason to vote for someone. There are lots of nice people and most of them should not be representing our interests in the legislature. In fact, I think Ms. Butler is exactly the wrong fit to represent our interests in the legislature. I don’t think Ms. Butler would disagree with this characterization - she is a New York liberal. Ms. Butler is from Brooklyn, New York and her positions on issues mirror those of her home-state politicians like Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton. In fact, in a recent facebook post, Ms. Butler explicitly said the following: “I was
so looking forward to Hillary Clinton winning...” She was looking forward to Hillary winning so much that she served as a delegate at Mrs. Clinton’s national convention (even though she was a Bernie Sanders delegate). Northern Wisconsin is a unique area. We pride ourselves on rugged individualism. We expect that if you are of sound mind and body, that you will get a job, work hard and take care of yourself. Ms. Butler’s embrace of the socialism offered by Bernie Sanders is exactly the opposite of what most of us here in Northern Wisconsin believe is the right direction. We don’t believe one person should work hard and be taxed at an extreme rate just so another person can be a couch potato. We believe in grit. We believe in an America where

sions. Of course, this is the common sense that you would expect from someone like Gae who was born and raised in Amery. Here in Northern, Wisconsin, we just don’t believe that he onesize-fits-all, top-down approach offered by Ms. Butler and New York liberals like Chuck Schumer is the answer. I’ll say it again. I really like Ms. Butler. She is a decent person whose heart is in the right place. But her New York-style policy ideas are just flat out wrong for Northern Wisconsin. I hope the voters of our area will recognize the stark differences between the candidates, and will vote for the common sense Amery approach offered by Gae Magnafici.

hard work, determination and playing by the rules matters. Ms. Butler has even embraced expanding Obamacare. This disastrous program has driven up healthcare costs and made it nearly impossible for many small employers in our area to provide affordable health insurance to their employees. Yet, Ms. Butler’s solution is to double down on this failed program. This is a New York style solution that we definitely do not need in Northern Wisconsin. On the other hand, Ms. Butler’s Republican opponent, Gae Magnafici, has spent her career in healthcare as registered nurse. She knows that more government interference in the doctor / patient relationship is not the answer. The answer is to empower individuals to make their own healthcare deci-

Local non-profits from gather at expo in Siren JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
SIREN––A group of 29 non-profit organizations from Burnett and Polk Counties were on display at Northwoods Crossing Event Center last Friday in an event hosted by the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation(NACF). Reneé Nañez, Chair of the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation, said the Connect & Care Expo is the third time the NACF has held an event like this and added it has gone through a re-branding of sorts. “We used to hold it during the summer with a much longer name,” Nañez said. “October is just a better time to get together, especially when everyone is not so busy like in the summer.” Nañez explained the purpose of the Connect & Care Expo is to help nonprofits connect with the public. In the past, they have supported after-school programs, wildlife education, food shelves and library projects. “It’s a wonderful atmosphere,” she said of the event center. “There’s gourmet food that has been donated, which helps encourage people to visit and connect with these various groups.” The NACF also received assistance from corporate sponsors like Northwest Electric and McNally Industries. Attendees got valued information from the non-profit groups like how their group operates, how many volunteers and donors they have. Non-profit groups in attendance included the

Established in 2013, the NACF is a community affiliate of the St. Croix Valley Foundation. They are one of ten subgroups of the St. Croix Valley Foundation, focusing on the unique needs and resources of non-profits in their communities. The NACF was formed shortly after Nanez took a nine-month leadership course on community foundations. The St. Croix Valley Foundation’s mission statement is “Growing our communities through your gifts.”

WEBSTER — Security Health Plan of Wisconsin, Inc. announces the Webster School District is among the 38 recipients of behavioral health grants for the 2018-2019 school year in an effort to promote the behavioral health and well-being of young children in local communities. Evidence shows that behavioral health is critical to many aspects of learning and development. “Early identification of behavioral health issues and accompanying intervention help students thrive both in and beyond the classroom” said Manager of Community Benefits Allison Machtan. The b.e.s.t. (Behavioral Emotional Social Traits) universal screening is a tool designed to help teachers identify behavioral, emotional and social health and risk factors in school-aged children. The online screening provides a way to measure behavioral observations and assists school personnel to connect students in need with resources and support. The screening has been used in school districts throughout Wisconsin and states across the country, with 69,000 students screened to date. Recipients of the grant will be provided with technical support, biannual screenings for students, training as well as consultation and support. “Like the vision and hearing screenings Wisconsin schools have required since 2001, the b.e.s.t. screening helps educational professionals identify behavioral health and risk factors. It then offers data-based solutions when they can have the greatest impact – while students are young,” said Eric Hartwig, Ph.D., school psychologist, former administrator of pupil services for the Marathon County Children with Disabilities Education Board and developer of the b.e.s.t. screening. The grant will be used in 38 school districts and 84 elementary schools throughout the state in the 201819 school year. More than 15,000 students will benefit from the program. “The Webster School District is excited to participate in the b.e.s.t universal behavior screener this year. We believe that implementing the b.e.s.t at the elementary (grades PK-4) and middle school (grades 5-6) will help us not only identify, but also support our students by providing earlier interventions to promote both behavioral and academic success” said Gracie Billings, elementary school counselor with the Webster School

BURNETT COUNTY –– County Administrator Nate Ehalt gave a quick recap of the 2019 proposed budget last Thursday during the County Supervisors meeting. It was a public hearing, but there were no comments or input from the public. He said that two positions in the jail/dispatch staff will be added and there will be one new person budgeted for in the Department of Health and Human Services. During his recap of the 2019 budget, he explained that the process began in June, when he started meeting with department heads about their needs for the upcoming budget. The county was able to keep their employee healthcare coverage costs steady, only rising two percent. The total amount of the proposed 2019 budget is $25,995,294. The additional tax levy for 2019 is an increase of approximately $64,000 over 2018. The mill rate has actually decreased in the county from 3.87 in 2018 to 3.80 in 2019. Ehalt said the county continues to address the cybersecurity concerns it faces. The county hoped to add an Economic Development position but, due to a lack of sustainable resources, were not able to add that position. Ehalt said they will

Grantsburg’s Annual Meeting highlights fiscal responsibility LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF
GRANTSBURG— The annual meeting and budget hearing of the Grantsburg School District convened on Monday, Oct. 22 at the Grantsburg High School auditorium, and saw several members of the public in attendance. Superintendent Dr. Joni Burgin reported the total enrollment for the district is 883 students, a decline of 21 students over last year. This slight downward trend is projected to continue for at least the next couple of years. Students enrolled in the iForward online school are only counted in the student count if they physically live in the Grantsburg School District. However, open enrollment funds for resident school districts of iForward students are paid to the District, just as if the student had enrolled in a brick-and-mortar school. President Dave Dahlberg summed it up. “We have extra income from iForward through open enrollment, and that helps tremendously. We appreciate them and the work that they do.” State law establishes a revenue cap that restricts the amount a school district can collect from a combination of property taxes and equalization aid. Grantsburg is still well below the state average. In fact, Grantsburg is one of the lowest revenue per student districts in the state. Last spring, Grantsburg along with other low-revenue school districts, approached the state government with a request to provide an increase of per-pupil funds to “catch up” those districts. This successful venture has resulted in an additional $167,987 towards the budget. Similarly, state equalization aid has increased 9.76 percent over last year. The amount of assistance calculated directly effects the amount needed from the tax levy. A combination of increased aid and the payment of the debt service last spring
has positively effected the mill rate. The mill rate for taxpayers in the Grantsburg School District is $6.76 per $1000. This averages out to a tax debt decrease of approximately $138.07 per $100 thousand of property value. Business Affairs Administrative Assistant Kerry Oachs reports that “this isthe lowest mill rate in the past 25 years in the district.” Oachs also explained that in the event a property owner does not pay their taxes, the school district is required to give back that portion of the allotment given to the town or Village. The following year, the amount that was shorted is added back into the tax levy to be made whole for the shortage. “However, that hasn’t happened for several years,” she said. Dahlberg summed up the meeting. “I have been quoted in meeting notes as saying that we have rock stars here at the Grantsburg School District. I just can’t say enough about all of our staff – our administration, our teaching staff and our district office staff. Everywhere you turn here, you see successes. “That’s not to say it’s perfect. There is still work to be done, and that’s a good thing. If you look at what this staff does with the resources they have – we are one of the lowest spending districts in the area and we’ve received (national) awards. And iForward going into space; it’s a big deal. It’s a really big deal.” Reimbursement for school board duties remains at $60 per meeting for board members, with $600 for president duties and $500 for clerk duties. Next year’s annual meeting and budget hearing are scheduled for Monday, Oct. 28, 2019. In the biweekly regular School Board meeting that followed, the board approved a resolution to set the tax levy for district operations. The amount for the 2018-19 school year is $2,784,350.
Siren School focusing on mental health JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
SIREN––The Siren School Board heard about the initiatives for mental health resources available for middle and high school students. Siren School has done a number of things to combat bullying this year. In September they had two speakers, Tom Thelen and former Green Bay Packer LeRoy Butler, come in to talk with the school. “We are continuing to work with Frederic and Webster schools to get additional speakers next year,” said Siren Associate Principal Darrell Imhoff. Imhoff told the board about the other steps they are taking like a bullying reporting site, which will hopefully have a link on the schools homepage of their website. He also said they are currently doing mental health screening for 9th graders. “I actually overheard a student say, ‘yes, it’s mental health day.’” Imhoff said. He added that mental health/resilience curriculum started in the middle school. Imhoff ended his monthly report by teasing that the Veterans’ Day program promises to be something special this year. He didn’t give any details, but Associate Principal Wayne Koball agreed it’s going to to good. That will be held Nov. 12. Koball began his report saying that Monday was his first day in truancy court and that he expects numbers to lower this year. He added he was confident that parents and students are not taking truancy more seriously this year. DLC UPDATE Dragon Learning Center Coordinator Brett Iverson gave the board an overview of the program. DLC is an after school program funded through grants. Iverson has engaged the community to get more enrichment with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities. He said they have 72 students enrolled, with enrollment ongoing. Iverson said they have taken the students on a number of field trips, including one to the Forts. “I’ve only heard good things about it,” said School Board President Peggy Moore.
Superintendent Kevin Shetler explained that this type of programming is important so students. Iverson said he is still looking for more staff and community volunteers to help with programming.

IN OTHER ITEMS: Shetler announced the pupil count is 487 this year. He added that last year it was 479. The School Board approved a bid to fill a drainage ditch that runs through the practice football field. The bid is from Taylor Excavating for $8,474. Moore said they will fill the ditch, level it off and re-seed. She added they will go forward with the project as soon as the Village approves it. The board also approved replacing the air handlers in the the school. The existing air handlers are about 30 years old, according to Board member Mark Pettis.
Burnett Medical Center Obstetrics Department Burnett Medical Center is committed to providing high quality care to our patients close to home. To ensure this occurs, like other rural facilities, it has recently been determined that Burnett Medical Center will no longer offer labor and delivery services to expecting mothers. However, we will continue to work collaboratively with the facility of your choice for your delivery needs. Burnett Medical Center delivered less than 50 babies in 2016 and the obstetrics unit was expected to deliver the same number of babies, if not less, in 2017. Due to the declining number of births at Burnett Medical Center, and the declining number of births in general, it has made it difficult to continue to provide the high level of care we are committed to providing. Please know that we continue to provide exceptional care for both mother and child in support of their prenatal and postnatal needs. Whether you’re looking for a physician or a midwife to care for you during your pregnancy and after, we’ve got you covered!

start, especially when it comes to drugs. Legislation does not teach a young person to not do drugs. Legislation does not stop criminals from accessing, selling, and using drugs. But, we can focus on programs to help people who are addicted and want help. Getting to them before they end up in prison, part of the system, and ultimately unemployable is crucial in slowing down drug use and addiction. If elected, I intend on working with both sides of the aisle to address the drug crisis and hopefully prevention programs to help slow the flow of people into the prison system. If more money for prevention programs is truly the answer and will yield real results, then I would be happy to consider legislation that makes that a reality. Throwing money at problems is not always the best solution, but investing in our people to help them be better people might actually move the needle and
help people better their lives. What also needs to be considered is life after prison. What happens after someone leaves prison is often forgotten about. If the person comes out of prison a better person and truly wants to turn their life around – they face an uphill battle finding an employer who will give them a job. This means that they have no way of supporting themselves and their families, end up on the streets and live off government programs. What has been created is not a reformed person turning their life around – it is a person who has no way to support him/herself and will likely return to doing whatever got them in prison in the first place. This is just a cruel cycle. Legalizing hemp was addressed by the Legislature this past session. Growing hemp in Wisconsin has been legalized and will be regulated by the state thanks to 2017 Wisconsin Act 100 signed into law by Gov-
ernor Walker in late 2017. This is a great thing for farmers in Wisconsin who are looking for a different crop and are eager to tap into a market that was previously unavailable. Farmers are hurting right now – I am glad that they are given a new opportunity with hemp. I hope that Wisconsin’s hemp production continues to grow and we are able to be a leader in this exciting industry. On marijuana, I will first say that I am not in favor of full legalization. I have seen what frequent marijuana use can do to a family and it is devastating. I have seen it in my own extended family. Decriminalization of a small amount of marijuana is something that I would consider if elected to the State Assembly. I am committed to considering any bill that comes before me no matter who introduces or supports it. That is the job of a legislator. That being said, I am currently not comfortable with taking
the stance that marijuana use is bad, but decriminalizing it, then saying that possession of a small amount should only result in a civil forfeiture and a slap on the wrist. That may be sending the wrong message and encouraging illegal behavior. There has been discussions recently about legalizing medical marijuana in Wisconsin. This is something that I am in favor of. I understand that cancer patients and people suffering from Parkinson’s Disease can benefit greatly from using medical marijuana to control pain and manage symptoms. If medical marijuana leads to a better quality of life for seriously ill patients, then they should not be robbed of the possibility of some comfort without turning into a criminal. I truly look forward to these issues coming before me in Madison if elected to the State SEE CANDIDATE VIEWS, PAGE 14

Love at first sight JOAN SPENCER, DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR COMMUNITY REFERRAL AGENCY
Even good relationships go bad. Domestic violence can happen to anyone, anywhere and can often can be difficult to recognize as domestic abuse. This is a survivor’s story (It is a compilation of stories and all names have been changed): It started as “love at first sight”, but ended as not happily ever after. When I first saw Tyler I was taken in his kind eyes. I melted when he glanced my way. We started dating. He was always so sweet, holding the doors open for me, taking me to dinner and shows. We even started spending time with his family. Soon we moved in together. Our little apartment was our love nest, or so I thought. It started as subtle questions about where I was, why my trips to the grocery store took so long, who I was with. I didn’t know that this was the start of his control over me. Soon Mr. Charming had turned into a monster. He would never allow me out of our house. Friendships and family slowly were taken away from me. Slaps turned into punches. The bruises harder to conceal. My bones were broken, but I was not allowed to go to the hospital to get them fixed. Then one night he strangled me. Apparently his dinner that I spent hours making, wasn’t right. Who knows what was wrong with it. I was laying there as he choked me thinking maybe it would be OK if I died. It would be a way out of this hell hole. I must have passed out because when I woke up he was no longer choking me. He wasn’t anywhere in the house and his car was gone. It didn’t take me long to decide to get out. I didn’t pack anything for fear he would soon be back. I grabbed my purse and ran. Soon a passing car picked me up on the road and brought me to the hospital. I was able to move into a domestic violence shelter, begin to heal and move on. I am a survivor, and you can be too. If you or someone you know needs help, or to understand more about domestic abuse, please contact the Community Referral Agency. The advocates are available 24/7 and can help you with a safety plan and refer you to medical resources that may be available to you as a survivor of domestic abuse.

Burnett County students participate in Conservation Day We had a beautiful sunny day on Wednesday, Sept. 26, even though it started out quite chilly! On this day Webster, Siren, and Grantsburg students attended the “Annual Conservation Day for Fifth Graders.” This is a daylong event sponsored by the County Natural Resources Committee (NRC) and the County Land Services Department(LSD). This event was held at the beautiful Crex Meadows Wildlife Education and Visitor Center in Grantsburg. The day began at 9:30 a.m. when 178 students, teachers, chaperones, bus drivers, presenters and staff converged at the Center. The students were provided with introductions to the presenters and instructions on the day’s events. After breaking into seven groups, the kids rotated from session to session to learn about different conservation topics presented by staff from the LSD, DNR and NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service). The topics were: water quality (Paul Cook - Conservation Specialist); wildlife habitat (Lauren Finch – Wildlife Educator); soils and erosion (Tom Fredrickson – NRCS Conservationist); trees (Mike Wallis and Eric Peterson – Forest Rangers); geology (John Park – Rock and Mineral Authority);
forest fire safety (Jason Doskocil – Forester); and aquatic invasive species (Becca Klemme – Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator). During the lunch hour a presentation was given by Chris Spaight, a DNR Conservation Warden from Burnett County. The kids then complete a quiz on the sessions and are awarded prizes for the top scores. The top two from each school were: Graisyn Lee and Jeff Mikyla (Grantsburg); Landan Herwick and Aubrianna Gray (Siren) and Madeleine Behm and Jamison Mogen (Webster). Graisyn and Jamison won the overall competition for having the best quiz score and answering the question “What does conservation mean to me?” After the quiz the students participate in a scavenger hunt with the top scoring school winning the highly coveted traveling silver lunch box stuffed full of candy. Grantsburg won the hunt this year and will have possession of the lunchbox until next year. We would like to congratulate all our competitors on their hard work, dedication and commitment to conservation issues. The LSD would also like to extend a HUGE thank you to the various departments, individuals, and educators who, through their commitment to educating our youth, have worked so hard to make this event possible.

CANDIDATE VIEWS: Justice reform and marijuana CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10
Assembly. I promise to listen and gather as much information as possible to make the best decisions for the 28th Assembly District. BY KIM BUTLER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR STATE ASSEMBLY 28TH DISTRICT
Our Constitution set up a balance between the judiciary, the legislative, and the executive branches of government. The legislature makes laws and the courts apply, or uphold those laws. The judiciary should be fair and impartial, the court should rise above the political fray, and issue rulings based solely on Kim Butler the law, in keeping with their code of ethics. Some states have seen battles between the courts and the legislature. Our April 3 Supreme Court election, while technically nonpartisan, was highly politicized. In every judicial election, are we always voting for the best qualified judge, or the one with the glitzy campaign, or the R or D after their name? Should public opinion influence judicial choice, or should a judge’s ability to uphold the law, while unpopular, be more important? It’s hard to obtain accurate information about political candidates in this area. Researching judges is a lot to expect from your average citizen, which perhaps is why turnout for these elections is low. It might be time to explore the idea
of non-partisan boards appointing judges rather than us electing them. I must stress that I don’t think judges should be political appointments, but rather a mixed board of legal experts that looks at judges’ qualifications and merit. Judicial reform might also include criminal justice reform - making sure that our laws are applied justly and similarly to all offenders. Blacks and other persons of color are incarcerated at much higher rates than white people, and are given much stricter sentences. Violence against women crimes like sexual assault and domestic violence, are not treated consistently by judges, with some giving lenient sentences for serious crimes. Juvenile justice is another area where sometimes the color of a person’s skin factors into their treatment, and it shouldn’t. As a legislator, I will work to strengthen the fairness and impartiality of our system. Marijuana In 2017, my teens and I visited colleges in the Pacific Northwest. I kept marveling at the employees standing on street corners with signs reading “Pre Rolled Joints” similar to the signs we see here advertising “$5 Pizzas.” There has been a huge shift in attitudes towards cannabis in my lifetime. According to a recent Pew Research study, 61 percent of Americans support legalizing cannabis. 9 states legalized it, and 30 states authorized medical marijuana programs. I’d like Wisconsin to be the 31st state to legalize medical marijuana. In addition to providing relief for patients with a variety of

conditions, it might also help with our opioid addiction problem, allowing people to medicate with a much safer, less addictive substance. Cannabidiol or CBD lotion, oil or drops may have many positive health effects for people, while not giving them the “high” that comes from smoking cannabis. CBD oil comes from Hemp, a relative of marijuana, which is legal to grow in pilot programs in WI, and could be a revenue generator for WI. I favor expanding the cultivation, processing, and sale of hemp and hemp products. The local St. Croix Tribe is looking at processing hemp into CBD oil, but has encountered some roadblocks. Because Cannabis is considered a Schedule 1 controlled substance, and Hemp is closely related, laws are complex and convoluted. Similarly, the process of legalizing cannabis is not a simple one. After we legalize medical marijuana, the next step would be to decriminalize possession. Would be supportive of a referendum or ballot initiative on legalizing and licensing the sale of cannabis in WI, which would make the product and the sale of it more safe, and bring added revenue to the state. We must carefully study what has worked in other states to craft model legislation in Wisconsin. There are many things to work out such as laws for “driving while buzzed,” rethinking drug testing for employees, navigating the banking laws, and prior sentencing. I think this journey is inevitable, with public opinion changing quickly. The positives outweigh the negatives, and if we proceed carefully, it can be a win-win situation for our state.

Tri-County High School students compete in land judging competition SIREN—The Tri-County Land Judging Contest was held Oct. 11. This annual event rotates between Burnett, Polk and Washburn Counties. This year’s 44th annual contest was hosted by Burnett County and held at Coyland Creek Sporting Clay and Game Preserve, Siren. This was an ideal location, since the pits to be evaluated were located near to the event center and represented several of the scenarios to be judged. The event was attended by 82 students, representing eight schools. The students compete as teams and as individuals. Each school is allowed two teams of four contestants each. The participants examined the soil and surrounding land. They then defined texture,

Operation Christmas Child collecting Nov. 12–19 NORTHWEST WISCONSIN – Brilliant fall colors are a sign that winter is on its way, and with winter is Christmas. That means it is not too early to start thinking about filling a shoebox with gifts and necessities for and underprivileged boy or girl in another part of the world. Sunday evening, Oct. 7, was the annual kick-off event for the Siren Team. A grant from Thrivent allowed the group to provide a free meal to all in attendance. This year’s collection dates are Nov. 12–19. There are four official drop-off sites in the Siren Team area, which covers Burnett, Washburn and Rusk counties, along with the parts of Polk, Barron and Rusk counties north of Hwy. 8. Drop-off locations are at Siren Covenant Church, Spooner Wesleyan Church, Spider Lake Church (Hayward Campus), Maranatha Evangelical Free Church in Rice Lake, and First Church of Christ in Ladysmith. Celebrating its 25th year, Operation Christmas Child, has reached 157 million children in 160 countries through its shoebox ministry. Each box is packed with toys, school supplies and hygiene items, and is often the first and only gift the child has ever received. Last year, an estimated 3,500 shoeboxes filled with gifts and necessities for underprivileged children around the world were collected throughout the Siren Team’s area.

IRON RIVER—The Grantsburg boys cross country team claimed first place at the WIAA Sectional held at Iron River last Saturday. “For the boys, Wow!” exclaimed Coach Lisa McKinley. “All the guys ran a PR! Will Gerber continues to run strong and placed fifth. His growth this season has been fun to watch. Nate McKinley closed the gap on other teams and had a strong performance as our second runner. Joey Duncan dropped his time and continues to drive the pack of teammates with him to new heights. Connor DeTienne also PR’d, even after falling down in the last 600 meters. His fight and determination greatly helped the team. Brody Bongaarts continued to learn how to race and kicked it in the last 100 meter to pass four other runners. Mason Arnold stepped up and did his part to run a solid race. Jared Lee ran so well coming off an ankle sprain about three weeks ago. I am so happy for this group of guys. They have worked hard. As alternates, I know Chase Doornink and Jordan Janes were ready to go and encouraged the team. All season long, the whole team has lifted each other up to
hold each other accountable and push to reach new heights. I am very happy and excited for them.” “On the girls side, it was a bittersweet day. Savanna Trittelwitz ran 1:00 PR,” verbalized Coach McKinley. “Belle Quimby and Hope McKinley also ran :30+ PR. Alexis Slater and Mirlande Brande gave everything they had and ran well. They all will bring back next season a strong foundation to build on. Seniors Gracie Gerber and Susan Roberts finished their high school career with season PR’s. Susan has worked hard this season and it resulted in a 1:13 PR. Gracie Gerber ran her heart out. While she just missed qualifying for State, she has had a great high school career. She has been in cross country since fifth grade and her presence will be greatly missed. But she will go on and run college and bless her new team.” “It was also nice to see Unity do so well and the rest of the Lakeland conference,” concluded Coach McKinley. SUBMITTED

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates defeated the Phillips Loggers 3-0 on Saturday night to take the Regional title— the 27th in the esteemed program’s history. After close scores in the first and second sets, 25-21 and 25-20 the Pirates punched it home the third set 25-9 to take the win and advance to the Sectional semi-finals in Clear Lake on Thursday night. “Initially, things were looking like we would have some opportunities to get a lot of kids on the court for our final home match of the season. Both teams tentatively made some sloppy errors to start the set, then we pulled ahead with a comfortable lead, then the Loggers clawed their way back to make it a close scoring contest,” coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “The first two sets went pretty much the same way: start sloppy, get a big lead, watch it evaporate, then hold on for the win. By the third set, we were tired of that nonsense and hammered it home for the victory.” Olivia Ohnstad had a big night from the middle hitter position racking up 12 kills. Randi Siebenthal and Linda Harmon had six kills each, with Brooke Quimby and Hanne Johnson adding five kills each. Olivia Brock and Rachel Tooze had three kills apiece.

Pirates advance, will face Eagles in Level 2 BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates football team advance to Level 2 of WIAA playoffs after a convincing 61-30 victory over the Glenwood City Hilltoppers on Friday night. The Pirate offense was firing on all cylinders. They only needed six offensive plays to score their first three touchdowns of the night. “Offensively, we got off to a good start, finished drives and Luke Anderson threw the ball effectively when needed,” Pirates head coach Adam Hale said. “Leo Chenal had a number of big time runs and we did a better job blocking downfield.” On the Pirates’ second offensive play of the game Leo Chenal took it up the sidelines 62 yards for the score of the night. Jared VanWatermuelen’s point after attempt was successful to give the hometown boys an early 7-0 lead. Grantsburg’s defense shut down the Hilltoppers in three, forcing them to punt. Again, it took the Pirates just two offensive plays to find pay dirt. This
time it was Tyrell Brande who scored from 22 yards out. The PAT was good to make it a 14-0 game. The defense stood strong once again, forcing the Hilltoppers to punt the ball back to the Pirates. And just like the previous two offensive series, the Pirates only took two plays to light up the scoreboard again. This time Anderson rolled to his right and threw a perfect pass to catch Gabe Chenal in stride who took the distance for the 54-yard score. The PAT was good to give the Pirates a 21-0 lead with 4:19 to go in the first quarter. The first quarter scoring wasn’t done yet. Brande got the Pirates on the board again with just 31 seconds to go in the quarter. This time, Brande found a hole and ran it in from eight yards out. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good to go up 28-0. The Hilltoppers took the ensuing kick-off back 99 yards for their first score of the night. The PAT was good to end the first quarter at 28-7. David MacKean set up the Pirates for their next score when he picked off a Hilltopper pass and took it about 50 STACY COY | SENTINEL

yards to put the Pirates back on offense on the GWC’s 23-yard line. They took advantage of the turnover, and just two plays later Leo Chenal ran it in from 18 yards out for the score. The PAT was good to bring the score to 35-7. Grantsburg’s defense continued to dominate, and on GWC’s second offensive play Brande stepped in front of a receiver for the interception. Again, the Pirates took advantage of the turnover with Anderson scoring on a quarterback sneak from one yard out. A bad snap on the PAT cost Grantsburg the extra point, making the score 41-7. The Hilltoppers got on the board with a seven-yard TD pass. The PAT was good to bring the score to 41-14. The Pirates struck again with 1:38 left in the half when Leo Chenal took it 54 yards to pay dirt. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was wide right. The score now was 47-14. Only 12 seconds ran off the clock before Grantsburg got their next score. On the kick off, Garrett Johnson and Gabe Chenal covered a deep squib kick
to set the Pirates up on offense on the Hilltoppers’ 33-yard line. On the first offensive play, Leo Chenal ran up the middle for the score. The PAT was good to take a 54-14 lead with 1:26 left in the half. The Pirates got their final score of the game in the third quarter when Anderson hooked up with Gabe Chenal for their second TD of the night from 11 yards out. The PAT was good to take a 61-14 lead. The reserves got some quality varsity minutes and played the remainder of the game, but were unable to find the end zone. The Hilltoppers on the other hand, found paydirt twice in the fourth quarter to end the scoring at 61-30. Leo Chenal led the Pirates in rushing yards with 265 on 13 carries with four TDs. Bryce Roufs tallied 50 yards on nine carries. Brande carried the ball twice for 20 yards and two scores. Despite the windy conditions, Anderson completed five of eight passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Gabe Chenal caught four passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns. “Gabe Chenal and Ty Brande played well on both sides of the ball and are playing their best football of the year,” Coach Hale said. “On defense, Bryce Roufs, Tanner Berger and Phil Hein worked hard and played physical, making plays and disrupting Glenwood’s offense.” The Pirate defense was stellar again with Roufs leading the way with three solo tackles and six assists. Gabe Chenal was next on the list with three solos and five assists followed by Levi Miller with one solo and six assists. Brande had three solos along with four assists. Tanner Berger was all over the field racking up five solos and one assist as was Phil Hein tallying two solos and four assists. The Pirates will now host their conference rival, the Unity Eagles, in level 2 of playoff action. The first time these two teams met back on Sept. 21, the Pirates came away with a 49-6 victory. But Unity is a very good team, and the Pirates know to not take the game for granted despite the lopsided win. “It will get a lot tougher now having to face off with Unity for the second time this season,” Hale said. “We’ll have to do some things on both sides of the ball better and play much better special teams to advance.”
Tigers’ season ends with tough loss at Unity BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
BALSAM LAKE—“It was a tough way to end the season,” lamented Coach Andy Smith of the Tigers. “I thought our boys played hard throughout the game. We had some chances and didn’t capitalize earlier. Unity has a nice ball club and they made plays when they had to.” Unity scored twice in the second quarter on two runs by Hunter Houde of 83 and 48 yards. The Eagles led at the intermission by a 13-0 margin. The Eagles scored twice in the fourth period of play. Jake Bloom ran for a one-yard touchdown and then he threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Lucas Flaherty for the second. The Tigers got on the board with Brad Sigfrids catching a 40-yard pass
from Auston Sigfrids. Carter Doriott got the two-point conversion to make the final 28-8 for the Eagles. Trevor Gustafson was the workhorse for the Tigers, gaining 52 yards on 27 carries. He passed 13 times, completing four, good for 17 yards. He was intercepted twice. On the defense, Keith Glienke had eight solo tackles with two assists. Gustafson had seven solos and one assist. Wyatt Schaaf recorded six solo tackles with six assists. Dalton McCarthy grabbed four tackles with six assists. From Coach Smith, “It was a great season led by our seniors who will be missed. They have led us to back to back playoffs season for only the second time in Webster History. Hopefully the younger guys can feed off that and continue that tradition.”

They will host the Phillips Loggers as they try to capture the program’s 27th Regional title. “This is both a very fun and a slightly stressful time of year knowing every team we face will be tougher than the last,â€? the coach said. “The Pirates play fearlessly and never give up.

The Pirates sailed to a 3-0 sweep of the Beavers by scores of 25-17, 25-16 and 25-17 to head into the Regional final game on Saturday night. “We were ready for a big block and a battle. Cumberland is led offensively by 6’2� junior middle Ania Hyatt,� Pirates head coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said of the match. “Our game plan: keep this kid from dominating the match as she plays all around, can hit back row, plays great defense, and leads her team with the most accurate serve receive and has one of the toughest serves.� “Thankfully, our defense was working hard–after a slow start having trouble handling some off-speed attacks. Cumberland has three extremely tough servers, and we were aced three times, but we turned the tables on them to score eight aces of our own,� the coach said.

PIRATES: head into Sectional semi-ďŹ nal match-up with St. Croix Falls Saints denied several Loggers’ attacks to hit the floor. Jenna McNally registered 17 digs on the night followed closley by Rombach with 14. Ohnstad and Johnson led the team in blocks with two each. “They had an outside hitter with such a big roundhouse topspin swing that our blockers got tooled almost every time. Unorthodox hitting technique can actually be tough to stop sometimes,â€? Allaman-Johnson said. The Pirates now head into Sectional play and will face a very familiar opponent— conference rival St.

keeping them on the attack. Rombach tallied 17 assists with Siebenthal adding 13. “Phillips has always given us good competition. Their arms are ball magnets. Attacks that would frequently land as kills vs. some opponents get miraculously popped back up by Phillips’ defenders,� the Pirates’ coach noted. “They are so scrappy, cover so much court, and hustle so much that it is really tough to score against them.� The Pirates were pretty scrappy themselves and
Croix Falls Saints. The No. 3 seeded Saints pulled a mild upset by defeating the No. 2 Clear Lake Warriors. These two teams have met twice this season and have split the wins with SCF getting the win in September, 3-2 and the Pirates taking the second meeting, 3-1. Fans will be treated to an exciting night of volleyball action. They will head to Clear Lake to play a 7 p.m. contest on Thursday night for the right to head to the Sectional final on Saturday night.

who works hard and doesn’t have his best day the day he needs it. That would be the case for Hunter. He ran well all season long and had a bit of an off day. Any other meet of the year a bit of an off day would be okay. Hunter has a good attitude about being in the horrible sixth spot and will use it to fuel him until track season. He like many of his teammates are the total package. They get good grades, work hard, are National Honor Society members and have all the characteristics of a highly successful individual. “Kerik had an outstanding race. He proved that when he sets a goal, he can do it. Doing the hard stuff isn’t something new to Kerik. He has accomplished the highest rank in Scouting by earning Eagle. I’ve noticed coaching Kerik that when he puts his mind to something he really rises to the challenge. He really wanted to medal at our home meet and ran really well. This last week he set a goal
to run sub 20. The conditions weren’t favorable and he still did it. Our third senior, Jamin, also had a PR day. He is another one with a good brain and wonderful personality. Jamin will always give it everything he’s got. I appreciate the effort, but also the extra he does to take care of his coaches and teammates. He is a guy you can always count on and a true team role model.” “Lastly, our only Senior Lady Tiger Sam (Nelson),” said Coach Ward. “She ran a great race. Her best one of the year. She was 10th and ran with guts and heart. Sam was at basic training this summer and missed the first three meets. She wasn’t able to get much summer miles and was only about 10 seconds away from qualifying for State.” “Congratulations to the Lakeland Conference teams, Grantsburg, Unity, Cameron and Clear Lake and individual qualifiers. It is such an honor to qualify for the State meet. Good luck at State,” finished Coach Ward.
Dragons give McDonell ‘a run’ BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
CHIPPEWA FALLS—The Siren Dragons volleyball team went to Chippewa Falls last Thursday with high hopes, but came away just short, falling to McDonell three games to none in the Regional semi-final game. The game scores were 17-25, 18-25 and 2025. “We gave McDonell a run and played well,” said Dragon coach Kristin Kosloski. “We just had rough starts to the sets and couldn’t quite catch up to them.” The Dragons had 20 kills on the night with Julia Cederberg getting eight, Karlee Sybers six and Jade Horstman four. Rylee O’Brien assisted 16 times with Kyleigh Lightfeather leading the way in aces with three of the team’s eight. Sybers also had a block. “I am really going to miss coaching these seniors,” concluded Coach Kosloski.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. In fulfillment of his own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures.â&#x20AC;? James 1:17-18 As I am writing this, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m recovering from shoulder surgery. I am thankful for the skills of the surgeon and the prayers of friends and family. As I take it easy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning a lesson, that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in charge. God cares for His creation day by day. God
is at work for the health of this world God loves so much. All that we do that is good comes from God. Indeed â&#x20AC;&#x153;every generous act of giving comes from above.â&#x20AC;? And to that we might add all acts of mercy, or advocacy, or support, or friendship. All we do that is good comes from God who loves the world. This means that faithfulness is a gift: in our homes, places of work or volunteering, our schools and communities and more. It is a labor of love where God is at work in our lives and through our own hands. It is the Father of light that shines in all of our

lives. Wherever we are, God is with us. God speaks a word from the outside in order that it becomes a word inside us, unseating our intentions and seating us at the feast, at the table prepared by Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace. Ask yourself, where can God use us to listen, to be patient, or to care for those in need? Whatever we do, know that God is at work in us and through us. Each moment, everyday, we live out our faith with the awareness that â&#x20AC;&#x153;every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above.â&#x20AC;?(vs. 17). Amen.

The Big Squeeze - 3D version ducing more detailed images of breast tissue. 3D mammography produces multiple X-ray images of the breasts from different angles to create a 3D rendering of internal breast tissue. This allows radiologists to view the breast in 1-millimeter ‘slices’ rather than just the full thickness from the top and from the side. This ultimately allows your doctor to better evaluate your breasts layer by layer.
HALLE PARDUN BURNETT MEDICAL CENTER
What is 3D Mammography? 3D mammography, also known as tomosynthesis mammography, is a relatively new breast imaging procedure that uses low-dose X-rays to capture multiple images of the breast, at all different angles. The images are then brought together to create a crystal clear 3D reconstruction of the breast. The radiologist is then able to review the reconstruction, one slide at a time, almost like turning pages in a book. This makes it easier for doctors to see if there’s anything to be concerned about. How Does a 3D Exam Compare to a 2D Exam? Both 2D mammograms and 3D mammograms use X-rays to produce images of breast tissue in order to detect lumps, tumors or other abnormalities. Specifically, 2D mammograms provide doctors with a 2D image to evaluate the breast. Only two images, a side-to-side view and a top-to-bottom view, of each breast is taken. This can be limiting due to overlapping layers of tissue, which can sometimes produce unclear results, false alarms, or worse – cancer being missed.
On the other hand, 3D mammography is capable of pro-
What are the Benefits of 3D Mammography? • Provides greater accuracy for women across a variety of ages and breast densities; it’s the only mammogram FDA approved as superior for women with dense breasts. • 3D mammography may be particularly effective for women with dense breast tissue or those at high risk for developing breast cancer. • Detects 20-65 percent more invasive breast cancer compared to 2D mammography alone. • Reduces callbacks by up to 40 percent compared to 2D mammography alone. How do I Prepare for a Mammogram? • Do not wear deodorant, perfume, lotion or powder under your arm or on your breasts on the day of your exam. • Tell the clinic if you have breast implants when you

make your appointment. • Tell the clinic if you have physical disabilities that may make it hard for you to sit up, lift your arms or dress yourself. Let them know if you use a wheelchair or scooter. • Talk with the staff about how they will handle issues of modesty that you may have due to your religion. How is a 3D Mammography Performed? The 3D mammography procedure resembles that of traditional mammography.
The procedure takes place in a private room and is conducted by a radiologic technologist. The woman undergoing 3D mammography is required to remove any clothing above the waist, as well as any jewelry or other objects that might interfere with the imaging process. During the procedure, the woman is positioned before a 3D mammography machine and her breasts are held in place by two compression plates. The pressure placed on the breasts by the compression plates can cause discomfort
but only lasts for a few seconds. When ready, the radiologic technologist will start the 3D mammography machine and a robotic arm will move in an arc over the woman’s breasts as multiple X-ray images are taken. The dose is similar to film mammography and is only slightly higher than in standard 2D digital mammography. The scan itself takes less than two to three seconds per view. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
Menopause and breast cancer risk
Menopause occurs when a woman’s reproductive cycle is over and she can no longer produce offspring. For many women, menopause occurs around age 50. While menopause itself is not a risk for breast or other cancers, it’s important to know that some symptom treatments and other factors can increase the risk for cancer among menopausal women. The North American Menopause Society says that a woman going through perimenopause and menopause may experience various symptoms, which can range from hair loss to food cravings to hot flashes to vaginal dryness. The National Institutes of Health indicates some women undergo combined hormone therapy, also called hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, to help
relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and osteoporosis. This therapy replaces estrogen and progestin, which diminish in a woman’s body after menopause sets in. However, NIH’s Women’s Health Initiative Study has found that women undergoing HRT have a higher risk of breast cancer, among other conditions. WebMD says evidence suggests that the longer a woman is exposed to female hormones, whether it’s those made by the body, taken as a drug or delivered by a patch, the more likely she is to develop breast cancer. That means that HRT can increase breast cancer risk and also indicates that the longer a woman remains fertile the greater her risk for certain cancers. Females who began menstruating before age 12 or entered menopause
after age 55 will have had many ovulations. This increases the risk of uterine, breast and ovarian cancers, states the American Society of Clinical Oncology. It also may impact a woman’s chances of developing endometrial cancer. Gaining weight after menopause can also increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer, states the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight or even losing a little weight can be beneficial. Women who enter menopause are not necessarily at a higher risk for breast cancer, but some factors tied to menopause can play a role. Females who want to lower their risk for various cancers are urged to eat healthy diets, quit smoking and maintain healthy body weights.

Burnett County survivors: Patrice Bjorklund LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF
GRANTSBURG—Patrice Bjorklund is a petite, professional-looking woman with a quick wit and sharp mind. Which are good traits to have if you are the Village Clerk and Deputy Treasurer of the Village of Grantsburg. But this past summer, Bjorklund had to take the focus away from her public service duties to concentrate on her breast cancer diagnosis. Bjorklund admits she was not religious about her annual mammograms before her diagnosis. “I went every single year. Then I stopped going six years ago because I thought, ‘You’re fine. Nothing’s changed.’ And I’m never going to do that again.”
This past April, Bjorklund said she was not feeling ‘quite right’ and went in for a general physical. Among the items ordered was her lapsed mammogram. Her next inkling something was awry was a callback for an additional scan. “In the back of my mind I thought, ‘there is cancer there’ because I’ve never had a callback like that,” Bjorklund says, despite a lack of family history. She was at her desk on a Friday afternoon when she received the news that she had a pea-sized tumor. Her diagnosis was Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer, a type that responds to the hormone estrogen. About 80 percent of all breast cancers are estrogen-responsive, and with early diagnosis and proper treatment, have a minimal recurrence rate. Bjorklund
To our loyal supporters and sponsors of the Hope for the Cure Longaberger g g Basket Bingo g ffundraiser 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 circumstances 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 families have been very rewarding and humbling. 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 became our bingo family and we love you all! We also want to thank our own families 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. Finally, 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. Sandy Eng and Priscilla Bauer
will spend a minimum of five years with hormone therapy to prevent any cancer cells from binding to estrogen in her body. “You go through a lot of tests. I tried to stay Zen the whole time they did anything. Just breathe, stay focused. I’m not going to die. It’s OK,” Bjorklund describes. “I was in early stages, but the biggest fear for me was (cancer) in the lymph nodes.” She would not learn until after her June surgery at St. Croix Regional Medical Center that her cancer had not spread to the nodes, and the tumor in the golf-ball sized chunk of flesh the surgeons removed was fully encapsulated. After her incisions healed, Bjorklund underwent thirty days of radiation treatments at the University of Minnesota Cancer Care in Wyoming., Bjorklund admits, “I worked up until surgery, took three weeks off and then I worked all through radiation. I wish I would have taken more time because you are so physically drained.” She also says that she wishes she would have known supportive people around her were going to be. “When I put the news on Facebook, I had around 300 responses from people who were supportive and cared. And I was blown away by that,” Bjorklund says, “and kudos to the Village. I put my time off on the agenda and announced why at an open meeting. They were very supportive. They said, ‘Take the time you need. We are here for you.’ I know that everyone doesn’t get that luxury.” When asked what advice she would give to someone newly diagnosed with breast cancer, Bjorklund says, “Don’t be scared. Don’t panic. It’s going to be okay. Because there is so much help, information and new treatments that have come out. “The one thing the doctors told me not to do was look on the Internet. They said, ‘Do not look at the Internet’….and I went straight to the Internet. I started looking there for groups and following more forums, trying to educate myself. (The medical team) gave me a couple of good sites; there is so much out there.” “I want to stress (the cancer experience) is different for everyone. There are people I’ve talked to locally. One had a similar scenario as I did, but it was progesterone responsive – which travels faster – so, she had to have chemo and radiation. Everyone has their own experiences. There are so many different scenarios and how it can go.” Although she did not know many breast cancer survivors, Bjorklund was amazed that the number who approached her when they learned of her diagnosis. She is paying that kindness

forward and recently took part in an upcoming video for the St. Croix Regional Medical Center. Bjorklund strongly feels that free mammogram programs are needed for the scores of women who cannot afford to pay out of pocket for screening. She relays a conversation she had with a woman who admitted she had not had a mammogram for years because it is not covered by her insurance policy. “So, she’s only going to go if she has a problem - and then it’s a big problem. I couldn’t feel mine, and it was very deep. We need to rally and get these women free mammograms. We really need to look at that and get them some help.” She continues, “I’ve always admired the people who wore the pink ribbons and did the Walk. I’ve never participated, but on Mother’s Day, I’m going to do that Walk with my daughters because (cancer research) is so important.” Bjorklund says that having breast cancer was a bit of a wakeup call to take better care of herself. “It’s God’s way of snapping you into shape. Before, I was a little careless about my health. I’m trying to take better care of myself.” “I appreciate life more. I appreciate the small things and I don’t let things get to me as much. I have a whole different attitude. I value the time I spend with my family more. My focus is my family,” Bjorklund says. “I have grandkids, and I want to see what happens with their lives. I want to focus on what’s in front of me. I’m just happy to have everyone around me.”
