Sec. Klett speaks at tourism banquet JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Happy Halloween from Danbury!

DANBURY––Wisconsin Secretary of Tourism Stephanie Klett was encouraged by the work that the Burnett County Tourism Coalition (BCTC) has been doing, mostly without help from the government. “Why should you be proud of Burnett County? Last year you did $31 million in tourism,” Klett said. “That’s a big deal, because you’re competing with some counties that have budgets that are bigger than my state budget.” Monday evening, the BCTC held their fifth annual meeting and fundraiser in the convention center at the St. Croix Casino in Danbury. With about 60 people in attendance, Klett was the keynote speaker for the event. The banquet also included a buffet dinner and costume contest and was sponsored by 16 county-wide businesses. When she started work as the Secretary of Tourism and one of the first things Klett told people was “no more slogans.” Wisconsin has

BURNETT COUNTY—Remember to set your clocks back one hour before retiring Saturday evening, and enjoy an extra hour of sleep. Daylight Savings Time officially ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 4. It is officially called “Daylight Saving Time,” though most people in the Midwest say “savings,” plural. Whichever you prefer, it always starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, with the time change taking place at exactly 2 a.m. With a word play referring to seasons, clocks “spring forward, fall back” – that is, in springtime the clocks are moved forward from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. and in fall they are moved back from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. Daylight Saving Time goes back to 1918 and has been lengthened so it now lasts a total of 34 weeks (238 days) every year, about 65 percent of the year.

had numerous slogans over the last two decades and told a funny story about the last one before she took over. Klett was in the audience when the new slogan “Live like you mean it” was announced. She was told by the 80-year-old woman sitting next to her that it was, in fact, the same slogan as Bacardi Rum. She began working for the government in 2011 after hosting the popular Discover Wisconsin television series. “I was offered the job on a Thursday, accepted it on Friday and started working on Monday,” Klett said. She then outlined the number of commercials she has worked on, including using Wisconsin-native directors Jim Abrahams and brothers David and Jerry Zucker, who directed the film “Airplane.” They shot several commercials, including one with former Green Bay Packer Jordy Nelson and another with former Milwaukee Buck Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The commercials with those celebrities created tens of millions of dollars in free press. “We have a budget of $12.5 million,” Klett explained. “It may sound like a lot, but Michigan has a $33 million and Illinois has $54 million.” Klett said the commercial featuring Nelson netted around $33 million in free press. “Now we’re in the game,” Klett said. Emily Gall, marketing consultant for BCTC, also gave a brief presentation on what the BCTC has been doing this past year. She outlined their online strategy, which has lead to 3.5 million impressions on the Internet through an aggressive advertising strategy. She added that one of the things they are working on is getting the Governor’s Fishing Opener to come to Burnett County in the future. “That would be a huge deal for us,” Gall said. Klett concluded that Burnett County is doing tourism the way it should be in Wisconsin. “Here in Burnett County, you are doing it. You’re doing it based on knowing what needs to be done,” Klett said. “From all of us at the Wisconsin Depart-

morning of Thursday, Oct. 25. Grantsburg Fire Chief, Cory Barnette, said the Grantsburg Fire Department got the call at 10:07 a.m. on Oct. 25. He said nobody was living in the house and that it does not have gas or electricity. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The house is located directly across from Johnson Drive on the south side of State Road 70. Due to high traffic in the area, Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing and Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers were on scene to help with the flow of traffic while crews dealt with the structure fire. Barnette said it took firefighters about three and a half hours to put out the flames and cleared the scene around 2:30 p.m. Siren Fire Department and North Memorial Ambulance were also called to the scene.

Suspect involved in drug trafficking bust dies JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––In August, officers from 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 after the suspect died of an apparent drug overdose. Thomas J. Hoff, 58, Trade Lake, was charged with four counts of delivery of methamphetamine, a class F felony; maintaining a drug trafficking place, a class I felony; possession of methamphetamine, a class I felony; and possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor charge. He was released on $7,500 bail and died less than 24 hours later. Thomas’ brother David Hoff, 59, Trade Lake, is still facing felony charges for maintaining a drug trafficking place and felony possession of methamphetamine and misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

The third suspect charged in this case was Bobbi J. Rasmussen, 39, 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 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, a number of 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 stopped at the house every week and went 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. Editor’s note: This story ran last week in the Sentinel, it omitted key information that was not known at the time of publication. Thomas Hoff was released on bail for $7,500 and died of an apparent drug overdose less than 24 hours later. We regret the error and apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding it may have caused.

OCTOBER 31, 2018

Unknown Knowns In the documentary film “The Unknown Known,” Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of Defense, said the job had some unknown knowns or “the things you think you know, that it turns out you did not.” He continued to say that the Attack on Pearl Harbor took place because of a failure of imagination. He also said that is why the 9/11 attacks took place earlier this century. I never thought I would be using the former Secretary of Defense to illustrate my life, but I think he knows how I feel after a year at the Sentinel. I don’t know everything and I am not perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, especially at work. When most people mess up, their boss knows and maybe a few co-workers. But when I make a mistake, 5,000 people see it. I have lived in Burnett County for a year now. After moving to Siren last October, I started working at the Sentinel and soon came to the realization that I don’t know Sentinel much of anything about ‘God’s Country.’ Editor If I can go back to last October Jonathan Richie for a moment. Tom Petty had just died - which had a much larger impact on me than I had expected - and I had applied for a job in a place called Grantsburg, Wis. Somehow when I first Googled this unknown location, I thought it said a three and a half hour drive. ‘Not much farther than La Crosse,’ I thought and turned out to be absolutely wrong. A rental car was arranged, because it was uncertain if my 1997 Buick could make the trip. I left Milwaukee, and the next five hours on the road was full of orange trees and beautiful scenery. There’s a lot I’ve learned about Burnett County since then. Things like the county only has two traffic lights and all the main highways and state roads are two lanes total. When I head back to the city, that is the one thing that people can’t believe. “There are really only two stoplights in the whole county?” (Sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the interstate) “So, Jon, this is the most traffic you’ll see all year.” There’s also a lot I don’t know about this job and living up here. To paraphrase Rumsfeld, there are a lot of known unknowns at this job, but even more unknown knowns. Meaning there are things at this office I know I don’t know. Like I’m not sure exactly why the three villages in this county don’t get along with each other. I also don’t get why there are two county fairs. There is also a bit of an age gap between myself and the typical Burnett County citizen. I got an email the other day that describes this perfectly. It said Burnett County is an “older, homogenous and rural area” than what I am used to. That can make this portion of the paper difficult, as I mentioned a few weeks ago. So please continue to bear with me. Some weeks, I may write about the Beatles and other weeks, I may want to discuss Cardi B. Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. See ya next week.

Wrecking the disruptors Earlier this month former retail giant Sears filed for bankruptcy protection with the federal courts. It is the latest turn of events for a retail giant that disrupted retail trends for over a century and has been portrayed by some as the inevitable end of brick and mortar retailing in the 21st century. I would take issue with this latest development From the Publisher’s being the end of any brick and Desk mortar retailing. I believe there will Tom Stangl always be a place ffor stores and d argue that a wellrun store is now more important than ever. The story of Sears is an American success story, even if the end is not what anyone had hoped. It is a story of innovation and retail “disruption,” a popular term today to describe someone or something re-writing the rules. R.W. Sears purchased a shipment of watches from a retailer who received an incorrect shipment. Using advertising and flyers, Sears sold the watches at a profit. He soon began a mail order business selling only watches. Sears took on a partner – Alvah Roebuck — and in 1893 the Sears, Roebuck and

Company was formed. The partners did mail order business with catalogs, selling a wide range of products to primarily rural customers who had limited access to goods. For 30 years, the company expanded its catalog business, selling items such as clothing, complete homes and even caskets before opening a retail outlet. If you look through old newspapers of the time, you will find local retailers complaining about unfair competition from Sears and Roebuck. Some general stores in rural areas believed they had a captive customer base and sold to people who they could offer credit to, often being paid when crops were sold. Sears changed everything with their extensive mail order business. Sears expanded into retail and continued to do mail order until 2003. Many of my generation can fondly recall going through the pages of the Christmas “wish books” to tell our parents exactly what we hoped Santa would bring. As I read this history of Sears and Roebuck, I was struck by the similarities to another retailer who began by offering delivery of books and music. This retailer used the internet to “deliver” its “catalog” and a variety of vendors to bring the packages to the door. You know this retailer, the one

that strikes fear now - Amazon. The giant retailer launched in 1994 during the early days of the internet. Recently, Amazon expanded into brick and mortar stores, offering items given a fourstar rating by customers. Amazon has also purchased Whole Foods, a retail grocer. Today some retailers bemoan Amazon’s success and feel that they are unable to compete. I would argue that a retailer that provides exceptional customer service and goods at a competitive price will always be in demand. As for Sears and Amazon and the next retail disruptor (make no mistake, there is or will be a force that will send Amazon reeling) I think their innovations are to be respected and studied. In the end, the free market will determine who comes out on top. R.W. Sears knew this, so does Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. So do the folks who continue to operate businesses in our town. We all must never take our customers for granted. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

THE CAPITOL REPORT

GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe

Elections will set the tone for budget talks WISPOLTICIS.COM

It’s election season, but budget watchers are looking ahead a few weeks until after Nov. 6. They are looking ahead, because the making of the next two-year budget will begin in earnest once the next governor is elected. If it’s Gov. Scott Walker, and Republicans maintain control of the Legislature, things will operate much like they have since 2011. If state schools Superintendent Tony Evers wins, and if Democrats wrest control of the state Senate, the making of the budget becomes a much different story. In the meantime, the Walker administration is issuing numbers showing the state’s books are in good shape. But promises by the governor for various road projects and higher school spending are causing even some Republicans to wonder about how the next budget could pay for it all. The new Walker administration reports: » The state finished the 2017-18 fiscal year with $579 million in the general fund, a slight improvement from

previous projections, the Department of Administration announced recently. The final accounting for the fiscal year found the state had $41.2 million more in the bank than what was estimated when the 2017-19 legislative session ended this spring. Still, that $41.2 million is less than 0.3 percent of general fund taxes collected over the course of the year. DOA also reported the state saw general fund tax collections increase 4 percent, which was in line with previous projections from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau. Collections for the year were up $18.4 million over the previous estimate to more than $16.1 billion. And the state deposited $33.1 million into the budget stabilization fund, which continued to build the record balance to $320.1 million. » And the Department of Revenue reports tax collections for the first three months of fiscal year 2018-19 were up 9.2 percent compared to the same period a year ago. The uptick was driven by individual income taxes coming in 6.8 percent higher

than the same period for 2017-18; sales taxes being up 8.9 percent; and corporate taxes 33.1 percent. For the full fiscal year, the Legislative Fiscal Bureau projected income taxes to be up 4 percent, sales taxes 4.8 percent and corporate taxes down 1.9 percent. In November, the Walker administration will release new revenue estimates for 2018-19, along with projections for the upcoming 201921 budget. And then the fun begins. Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, clinging now to a narrow majority, is casting doubt on a proposal from Walker for the state to fund two-thirds of K-12 public education costs. That is also a pledge of Evers. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau has estimated such a proposal would have cost $130 million more in the 2018-19 fiscal year, however, the agency has not estimated what it would cost in future budgets. The state is at 65.8 percent for the 2018-19 school year, according to the LFB. “Now you’re talking a big SEE CAPITOL REPORT, PAGE 31

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Several letters have been written about me and my campaign for the 28th Assembly District by people who have never met me, and by someone I spoke to twice. I was labeled, inaccurately, with a term used by conservatives to taint Democrats. I was portrayed as “The Other” because I lived out east as a child. By this “logic” only people born in a district should run for office? Then Ronald Reagan would have never been elected a Governor, nor Scott Walker. Here are some facts. My husband and I moved to Balsam Lake 17 years ago to raise our family and grow our business. This business started in our basement 19 years ago, and now employs 17 people in Milltown. In addition to being a job creator, our business donates to many local organizations. Both my husband and I also give our time to community organizations. Here’s a partial list of groups I have volunteered with: Unity Girl Scouts, Unity Community Education, Interfaith Caregivers, The Salvation Army, Unity Area Soccer Club, Destination Imagination, River’s Rally, Lamar Community Center, Unity Pre-K Parent Advisory Board, and Unity Boy Scouts. I have volunteered as a cancer support person, in the classroom, for school athletic and community events, and as a college advisor. I am

an alumni volunteer for my college in Iowa. In some of these groups, I just participated, but in others, I took on leadership roles. We recently celebrated 20 years of a marriage that began at the old Paradise in 1998. My children have attended local schools their entire lives, and are successful students who participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, and have probably been featured in this newspaper for their accomplishments. Before moving here, I lived in the Twin Cities for 16 years, working as a television writer and producer for PBS, The Discovery Channel, and local stations. I lived in the midwest over 40 years, including summers in Green Bay while I attended college in Iowa. My parents divorced and changed jobs often. I wanted stability for my own children. I am not going to argue widely accepted historical facts with other letter writers. Should you need further information about me or my positions, please visit VoteKimButler.com or Facebook, @votekimbutler. I hope that voters will look past these inaccurate letters to my qualifications and ability to serve everyone in this district as their Representative. Thank you, Kim Butler, Balsam Lake Candidate, Assembly District 28.

in court was that Alden was cited for public nuisance. There was no other information presented in court about the citation. He stated during the proceedings that he did not understand why his neighbors are stalking him. His family was wary of him pleading guilty because part of the police report states he was running a drug house. In August 2016, Alden graduated from the county’s drug court program. He said at the time “I want to continue going to meetings and to stay sober —and get on with a new life.”

BURNETT COUNTY––Andrew Alden, 37, Grantsburg was in court last week for a trial that never happened. He pleaded no contest to a civil public nuisance charge and was fined $114.50. He appeared in court without an attorney, but with his mother and step-father. His step-father, Gary Bruhn, said they had been trying for weeks to find a lawyer to represent him. Bruhn has been attempting to hire a pro bono lawyer or a low-income lawyer for this matter. Judge Melissia Mogen said she

was prepared to give Alden another 60 days to find a lawyer. Instead, she decided to go forward with the plea of no contest. Grantsburg was represented by Moria Ludvigson with Police Chief Jeff Schinzing waiting to give testimony, which never occurred, on the issue. Alden lives at 420 N. Pine Street in Grantsburg and has been a topic of discussion in the village for months. Concerned citizens put together a petition in August which gathered 135 signatures. They were hoping the board would support them in getting Alden evicted from his Grantsburg home. The only information presented

What is your strategy and what resources are needed for ensuring safe schools? BY TRACY FINCH INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR BURNETT COUNTY SHERIFF

Children cannot learn in a school setting without feeling safe. This has been a very hot topic for quite some time. I have a strategy that I plan on putting into place as Sheriff of Burnett County. First, we will work directly with the local police departments and schools. I will have regular meetings with the local police departments to share information. Members of our department will Tracy Finch also attend regular meetings with the school guidance counselors. Sharing information with Social Services is also vital. By including all of these professions, we can develop a wraparound approach to troubled students. This will hopefully allow us to address problems in the school before they escalate. It is important to have strong lines of communication between law enforcement and the schools. Building trust with the students is also necessary to make them feel comfortable reporting situations that need attention. Second, the Sheriff’s Department will be training within each of the schools. I plan on implementing a county-wide Emergency Response Team which will include local police department officers and Sheriff’s Department officers. I want all of the officers to train together

within each school so we can prepare for any situation. It is essential to include school staff with these trainings, so we know how each other will react. This is something that will be catered to each school and their individual needs. There will also need to be age appropriate training for students, so they know how to react in an emergency situation. The resources needed to implement such a plan are limited. As I have said before, I plan on doing more with less. The Emergency Response Team may need some additional updated equipment. Getting those items will come from pooling resources with local police departments and fundraising. Beyond that, it will be dedication and planning from all involved. The Sheriff’s Department has trained deputies in the past to be school resource officers. I plan on continuing this training and will encourage a more active role within each school. The Sheriff’s Department has done several presentations and trainings in the schools on several topics. Some of those topics include bullying, cyberbullying and alcohol and drug prevention. Our K9 Tracker has also done demonstrations in the schools. I plan on continuing these programs and adding more. I think it is important to remain involved in the schools at all grade levels. The future of our community lies in our children. We need a positive and safe environment for them to grow up in. I plan on ensuring that!

BY CHRIS SYBERS REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR BURNETT COUNTY SHERIFF

I would continue to work closely with the local police departments in how they work within the schools. I would assist them in any possible way they would require assistance. I would meet with school counselors to provide support with any problems they encounter. I would also assist the local police departments when they require help at the schools. I would practice Chris Sybers ALICE training with all of the local police departments. It would be beneficial to receive map layouts of the schools so officers can refresh their memories on the schools’ layouts. Once we get the Sheriff’s Department back up to full staff - and with time permitting - we would have officers go into the schools to speak with the students and possibly teach a class or two. I would encourage the officers to have lunch with the students and build a good relationship with the students, which is what I have been doing in the Siren School District. I believe if the students develop a good relationship with law enforcement, the students will - more than likely - see us as friends and

not enemies to be wary of in public. We want these students to look to us as help for them in our job capacity and see us in a positive light. Our officers need to train in each school district and each individual school building within the district to be able to handle any stressful situation and be ready for any potential threat. I want to sit down with each school administrator and have a discussion with them to see what concerns they have for their students and district. I want to have a good working relationship with the districts and be seen as helpful for them to alleviate their problems. When sitting down with the administrators; we can go over their safety plans to review them for any possible suggestions to improve the plans. That information needs to be brought back to our officers, so they are aware of each safety plan and what to expect at each school for calls or emergency. We want each school official and officer to know what their expectations are regarding their duties in the event of an emergency. I think being visible around the schools will help us deter any potential problems. Again, the department needs to be at full staff to be able to accomplish these goals. All of the individual police departments need to start working together to make the community safe for everyone.

Siren Chamber welcomes Professional “Computer” Tutor SIREN—Siren Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed Professional “Computer” Tutor in a ribbon cutting ceremony. Owner Sara Reimann opened Professional “Computer” Tutor on June 29th, 2017 in Siren. The computer store originally was located at 24062 State Road 35/70. However due to rapid expansion, ithas just moved to its new home directly across the street from US Bank on the south end of Siren. The company began eighteen years ago when Reimann began teaching community education courses. From there, she decided to earn two degrees from WITC-Rice Lake in computer networking and computer software. After her own education, Reimann then began working for larger companies in the information technology field while continuing to teach community education classes. She has also taught several credited education courses at WITC-Rice Lake. Eight years ago, Reimann launched a career as a private contractor. In that time, she built a foundation of clients which now totals over 1,200 individuals and organizations. “I love technology. I’m always looking at the latest gadget,” she said. “Professional “Computer” Tutor is your one stop shop for anything and

everything computers.” And with Grantsburg’s CrexTech decision in July to close their business, the company is growing fast. Reimann’s hopes are to make this the ‘one-stop-shop’ for those in and around Burnett County who are looking for a wide range of computer assistance - with computer

sales, computer service, and computer training classes. She explained that while she can offer computer clean-up and repair, she really loves teaching classes. “The way I see it going is for this to become a training center”, she remarked regarding her business vision. “I have a conference room that sits up to 12 comfortably. I want

to branch out to individuals and businesses. The more you learn the more comfortable you will become with your computer.” The technology world with computers and devices is changing fast. “Many people still have a Windows 7 computer and don’t realize their computer will not be support-

ed with updates beyond the Spring of 2019 and the computer will then start to have issues,” Reimann warned. “So what can you do? Give Professional “Computer” Tutor a call to discuss your options. What’s most important in today’s world is keeping yourself and family safe online.” There has been a huge influx of viruses and spam going around the Burnett County area, especially one that’s called the ‘Microsoft Virus.’ “We have seen many individuals fall victim to this ransomware, paying out hundreds of dollars to the scammers,” Reiman said. “Make sure your computer is protected from this intrusion! Call us to schedule a computer health tuneup.” Better yet, attend their open house Nov. 27–30, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. and Dec. 1, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. to meet the staff in person and see the new store. The Professional “Computer” Tutor recently relocated to 24056 State Road 35/70 in Siren, just a few doors down from their original site. They are open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. If you haven’t checked them out yet, give them a call 715- 349-GEEK (4335), email at sara@protutorapps.com, or just stop by!

Grantsburg woman honored as Care Giver of the Year It is with great honor and humility that The Estates at Rush City gets to announce one of their very own, Mary Knoebel, as 2018 Care Providers Care Giver of the Year. This award honors a nursing aide (CNA/TMA/HHA/NAR) who displays extraordinary skill in caring for individuals residing in a care facility. Knoebel, who lives in Grantsburg, works on a 22 bed-Alzheimer’s Care Unit and has been a CNA at The Estates at Rush City for more than 13 years. She was told that she would never receive her CNA license because she would never pass the exam. Well, the first time they were right. However, that is not who Mary is - she does not accept failure. Instead, she persevered, got a tutor to help her study, and passed the exam on her second attempt. “We are so lucky to have Mary Knoebel as part of The Estates Rush City family,” said Katie Trucco, Administrator at Mon-

arch Estates in Rush City. “She is incredibly deserving of this award, and we are so very proud of her! Thank you for all that you are and all that you do, Mary!” Since the day Knoebel received her CNA license, she and those around her knew this is what she was born to do. Working with Alzheimer’s and Dementia population, she is the residents’ voice of choice and dignity. She knows how each resident likes to be cared for, and she cares for them in that way. “We all know when Mary is working because our residents look as if they spent the day at the spa- which is the Mary Standard. Mary is compassionate, empathetic, loving, respectful, enthusiastic, humble, dependable, strong, and - best of all - patient.” Trucco said. “She is the ray of sunshine for our residents on a gloomy day, and we all know how Minnesota weather can be. She keeps smiles on the faces of our staff, resident family

Red Ribbon Week raises awareness of drug use and the problems related to drugs facing our community, and encourages parents, educators, business owners, and other community organizations to promote drug-free lifestyles. Wearing red ribbons during the month of October continues to represent our pledge to live drug free and honors the sacrifice of all who have lost their lives in the fight against drugs. Take the opportunity to talk to your kids about drugs. Research shows that children are less likely to use alcohol and other drugs when parents and other role models are clear and consistent in their opposition to drug use and the misuse of prescription drugs. Celebrate Red Ribbon Week in your community or your child’s school, and raise awareness of living a drug free life. There are lots of ways to celebrate Red Ribbon Week and every part of your community can get involved. Here are some ways communities can get involved: • Display red ribbons in your organization’s building. • Host a special drug abuse prevention seminar for the community. • Organize a drug prevention awareness fair. • Set up and staff an exhibit table to distribute drug prevention information and materials. • Post fact sheets and Red Ribbon Week event notices. Here are some ways schools can get involved: • Wear red ribbons. • Do a Red Ribbon Week activity (e.g., bookmark, poster, or essay contest; classroom door decorating contest). • Incorporate drug prevention facts and tips in your school-wide announcements. • Have a Red Ribbon Rally with performances by local talent or school groups. • Have a school assembly (everyone can wear red) and invite a law enforcement officer to speak about the dangers of drug abuse.

November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month

Polk and Burnett County Dementia Coalition

GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Alzheimer’s disease causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over several years. Eventually, memory loss becomes severe enough to interfere with daily activities. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that 5.7 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s. Increasing age is the biggest risk factor for Alzheimer’s, and most people with Alzheimer’s are over 65. As the size and proportion of the U.S. population age 65 and older continues to increase, the number of Americans with Alzheimer’s will grow. One of the earliest noticeable signs of Alzheimer’s disease is worsening or more frequent confusion or memory loss within the previous year. As people get older, they may notice occasional problems with remembering certain things. However, severe memory loss — like that experienced by people with Alzheimer’s — is not a normal part of aging. As the disease progresses, Alzheimer’s leads to increasingly serious symptoms, including disorientation, changes in mood and behavior, worsening confusion about events or time, unfounded suspicions about family or friends, difficulty speaking, and even difficulty walking. People who are concerned about confusion or memory loss should speak with a health care professional who can do a memory screening and discuss possible treatments. Alzheimer’s is also very stressful for caregivers. Caregiving for someone with Alzheimer’s requires a lot of time and patience. Keeping track of medical appointments and prescriptions, as well as work, family, and social obligations, can be overwhelming. If you are a caregiver, here are some tips to manage your stress: • Know what to expect. Learn about how Alzheimer’s affects those who have been diagnosed with it and what changes to expect. This will help you understand how your role will be different with time. • Take time for yourself. Ask other family members or friends to step in, even for a short time, while you run errands, exercise, or just relax. Try to keep up with your hobbies and stick to a normal schedule as much as you can so that you do not become resentful over time.

METRO CREATIVE

• Seek out community resources, including adult day programs, in-home care, and meal delivery. In addition, there may be a caregiver support group in your area. It may help to know that you are not alone and that other people are going through the same things you are. • Make legal and financial plans. Talk to your loved one about healthcare and financial powers of attorney, living wills, and do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders soon after a diagnosis so the affected person can participate in decision-making. Having these plans in place can reduce stress for the whole family. If you have questions about this you should contact an elder law attorney. The mission of the Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging Resources is to deliver innovative support to lead aging agencies as we work together to promote, protect, and enhance the well-being of older people in Wisconsin.

Acceptable Photo IDs for Voting in Wisconsin GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Wisconsin holds its next election on Nov. 6. Eligible voters will have their chance to have their voices heard.In 2011.Wisconsin passed a voter ID law, since then Wisconsin voters must show an acceptable photo ID when voting at the polls or by absentee ballot. If someone votes by absentee ballot, some situations do not require showing a photo ID. Information about some of these exceptions are at the end of this article. There is not a separate “Voter ID” card. There are several forms of photo ID, which you may already have, that you can use to vote. Anyone with a valid Wisconsin driver’s license or Wisconsin state ID card already has the photo ID they need to vote. Some examples of acceptable photo IDs are: • Wisconsin Driver’s License: Must be unexpired or have not expired before Nov. 8, 2016. Valid even if driving privileges are revoked or suspended. • Wisconsin State ID Card: Must be unexpired or have not expired before Nov. 8, 2016. • US Passport: Must be unexpired of have not expired before Nov. 8, 2016. • Certificate of Naturalization:

Must have been issued within the last two years of voting day. • Wisconsin Tribal ID Card: You may use a current or expired ID. • Veterans Affairs Card: Must be unexpired. The ID does not need to have your current address. You only need to prove your address when you register to vote. For a full list of all acceptable documents to show your new address, go to myvote.wi.gov/en-us/PhotoIDRequired. If you are a registered voter and you do not have an acceptable form of ID when you go to the polls, you should receive a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot will not be counted unless the voter provides the required information to the poll workers by 8 p.m. on Election Day or the municipal clerk by 4 p.m. of the Friday following the election. In a few situations, Wisconsin permits a person to vote without a photo ID. These include individuals in the military, oversea electors, and a few other situations. Of those few other situations, ones that may commonly impact seniors include: • Voters Confined to their Homes – Voters may have a hard time getting to the polls due to age, physi-

cal illness, infirmity, or disability. These voters can request a ballot be sent to them. They should indicate on their application form that they are indefinitely confined. Indefinitely confined voters do not need to show a Photo ID when voting by absentee ballot. A witness must sign the certificate envelope to certify that the witness has verified the name and address of the voter. • Voters in special care facilities – can provide a witness signature on their absentee ballot certificate envelope in substitute for showing Photo ID. Special care facilities include nursing homes, qualified retirement homes, qualified community-based residential facilities (CBRF), qualified residential care apartment complexes, or qualified adult family homes. • Confidential electors – Electors who are victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking have the option to be listed confidentially on poll lists. The name and address of the protected individual is not disclosed on the poll list but instead the voter presents a voter identification card with a unique identification serial number given to him or her by the municipal clerk.

The Aging & Disability Resource Center(ADRC) of Northwest Wisconsin is excited to announce the formation of the Polk and Burnett County Dementia Coalition. The first official meeting is taking place on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 10:30 a.m. in the East Conference Room at the Polk County Government Center in Balsam Lake. Through this coalition we hope to bring community members and leaders, caregivers and professionals together to join forces to create dementia aware, safe and friendly communities throughout Polk and Burnett Counties. This coalition is open to all who would like to take part in these efforts. How did this coalition form and why do we need it? A small group of local community agencies came together after the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin Dementia Summit held in 2017 in Balsam Lake. They decided it was time we come together to address service gaps, increase communication and increase awareness out in the community around dementia. Over 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease (the most common type of dementia) and over 70 percent of these individuals live in the community—not in a facility. They and their caregivers are our neighbors, friends and family. Join us to find out how you can help our communities become aware, safe and friendly communities to our friends living with dementia and the people that care for them daily. This is not a journey anyone chooses but we can come together to support them through the ups and downs and let them know they are not on this journey alone. For more information about the Polk and Burnett County Dementia Coalition contact the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin at 877-485-2372.

What Caregiving Looks Like JANE MAHONEY, OLDER AMERICANS ACT CONSULTANT, GREATER WISCONSIN AGENCY ON AGING RESOURCES

What do you think of when you hear the word caregiver? Many think of the person who provides hands on, daily care for a frail adult; usually involving help with dressing, feeding, bathing and mobility. While this person certainly is a caregiver I’d like to challenge you to think about other possibilities of what caregiving looks like. There is the middle-aged son who stops for groceries on the way home from work for his mother, the daughter who takes her dad to his many doctor appointments, the man in charge of cooking and cleaning since his wife is no longer able, and the woman who must take her husband with her to her hair appointment for fear his confusion would endanger him if left home alone. To sum it up, you don’t have to be providing 24/7 care to be considered a caregiver. Anyone who helps someone with something they used to do by themselves is a caregiver. Let me give you a few examples: • If you feel it is necessary to regularly check on your elderly neighbor and help with little jobs, then you are a

caregiver. • If you find yourself spending time making appointments for you mother and stopping at the pharmacy or grocery store for her amidst running your own errands, you are a caregiver. • If you have stopped going to your weekly card club because you don’t feel you can leave your spouse at home alone, you are a caregiver. • If you spend time making phone

calls to help your sister find an assisted living facility or to set up home care services you are a caregiver. It is important to recognize yourself as a caregiver for several reasons. First, caregiving is often a role you do not anticipate and one that brings new challenges and responsibilities. Identifying yourself as a caregiver is the first step to handling the extra stress you may be feeling. Attending a caregiver

METRO CREATIVE

support group, reading information on caregiver health or talking to a trusted friend or professional about your situation are all good ways to gain support. Second, identifying yourself as a caregiver can help you connect with community resources. Getting help from a home care agency, adult day care, home delivered meals or a volunteer driver are some ways to reduce your stress as a caregiver. Information about these services is available at the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin. And finally, seeing yourself as a caregiver helps you understand the importance of the things you do and may result in involving others to help. Sharing tasks with family members, friends or neighbors will take some of the responsibility off of you and provide even more support for the person receiving help. No matter what your caregiving looks like, the assistance you provide is vitally important to the life of the person you are helping. It is often the difference between the person living in their own home and living in a care facility. If you are a caregiver, call the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin at 877-485-2372 and see how we can help!

November is National Family Caregiver Month JANE MAHONEY, OAA CONSULTANT, GREATER WISCONSIN AGENCY ON AGING RESOURCES

November is National Family Caregiver Month, a time to recognize and thank the many hard working and devoted people who make it their mission to keep a loved one happy and safe. You work hard and deserve to be recognized and celebrated! Caregivers come from all walks of life and care for people with an array of needs. Reasons for providing care differ from situation to situation. Daily tasks that caregivers perform also

vary greatly. But there are some things that all caregivers have in common; dedication, love, commitment, a sense of selflessness and most likely, a good sense of humor. Wisconsin’s theme for Family Caregiver Month is, You Might Be A Caregiver If….” We chose this theme because it gives a real-life view of what caregiving is like. It encourages humor rather than promoting burden and recognizes the valued role and dedication of our state’s caregivers. And it gives caregivers a fun way to connect with each other as they add their own

ending to the phrase. In hopes of bringing some smiles and perhaps a chuckle to your day, here are some ways that might mean you are a caregiver. You might be a caregiver if… • You were up at 3 a.m. this morning helping someone to the bathroom; • Your house has more pill bottles than wine bottles; • You can pronounce medications with more than 10 letters in the name; • You know your way around the hospital better than the mall; • You can maneuver a wheelchair

through WalMart with ease. What does caregiving mean to you? How would you end the phrase, “You might be a caregiver if…?” What have you learned as a result of caring for someone? What are some things you do regularly, that you didn’t do before? What is different about your life now, that someone else wouldn’t understand unless they, too, were a caregiver? As you ponder these questions, remember that you are valued, respected and appreciated. Thank you for all that you do to help another person enjoy life to the fullest!

Is it a cold or the ﬂu? BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

You’ve probably heard in the news that this year’s flu season is setting records. Even young, healthy adults are hospitalized and even dying from complications of the flu. Oftentimes, these individuals are staying home and trying to “sleep off” the flu – rather than going to the doctor. For most cold viruses, the recommended treatment is rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medications to help you ride out the discomfort. But, for the flu, you may need prompt medical attention. Therefore, it’s important to know whether your symptoms are likely cold- or flu-related so you can get the treatment you need. Take this quiz to test your knowledge: Cold or Flu? 1. You have a headache. 2. You have a fever of 102-104 degrees that lasts for 3-4 days. 3. Your muscles ache and you have

chest discomfort. 4. You feel tired and weak. 5. You feel exhausted. 6. You have a stuffy or runny nose. 7. You are sneezing. 8. You have sore throat. 9. You have a dry, “unproductive” cough. 10. You have a hacking, “productive” cough.

We’re here for you.

Answers: 1. Flu 2. Flu 3. Flu if severe; cold if moderate 4. Flu if moderate to severe and lasting up to 14-21 days; cold if mild 5. Flu 6. Cold 7. Cold 8. Cold 9. Flu 10. Cold

• Local • Non-ProÅt • Community-based

Please note that this quiz is not intended to replace medical advice. Whenever you are unsure of the nature or severity of your symptoms, you should seek medical attention.

Fitness for every age … and stage STACEY COLINO AARP

Like most people, you have probably heard that muscle strength, absent some weightlifting, starts to decline in middle age. And you probably expect things like your balance, coordination and flexibility to naturally take a bit of a downturn ... someday. But new research from Duke University shows that these fitness-related changes begin much earlier than many people expect — often when they’re still in their 50s. To assess age-related changes in people’s fitness abilities, researchers at Duke’s Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development had 775 participants from their 30s to their 90s perform tests designed to measure things like strength, endurance, balance and walking speed. At all ages, the men generally performed better than the women, but the age at which physical declines became truly apparent was consistent for both genders — the 50s. That’s when both sexes began to have trouble rising from and sitting in a chair repeatedly for 30 seconds (an indicator of declines in lower body strength) or standing on one leg for up to 60 seconds (a measure of balance).

Additionally, people in their 60s and 70s showed a marked slowing of gait speed (based on distance covered per second of a four-meter walk) and a drop in aerobic endurance (based on a six-minute walk test). By contrast, those in their 80s and 90s had dramatic declines in their balance, gait speed, lower body strength and aerobic endurance. “People were very surprised by these changes because most of these tests aren’t typically done if you go to the doctor,” says study coauthor Katherine Hall, an assistant professor in medicine at Duke University School of Medicine’s Division of Geriatrics. “Some of this is inevitable — our bodies are machines, and if you put 60 or 70 years of wear on any machine, it’s going to show some decline.” Even so, the rate or severity of these declines varies significantly from one person to another based on how active — or sedentary — you are. THE BENEFITS OF BANKING FITNESS “What’s really happening is many of these changes start to occur earlier in life but don’t manifest themselves and become problematic until later in age,” explains Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer at the

American Council on Exercise. There’s also a domino effect involved: Declines in muscle strength and bone mass start to occur in the 30s, he notes, and “losses of lower body strength and balance will eventually impact walking speed.” It’s a mistake to wait until these declines in physical fitness set in. After all, these fitness factors affect not only your general level of functionality but also your overall health: In a practical sense, your gait speed, for example, may determine whether you can cross the street safely before the light turns red. But it’s more than that, too. “Gait speed is now being called the sixth vital sign,” Hall says. “It’s the strongest predictor of hospitalizations, as well as a person’s risk for developing chronic diseases, disabilities and cognitive decline.” That’s why it’s smart to look at building and maintaining physical fitness in a way that’s similar to how you might amass savings for retirement. “You get the greatest returns on your investment the earlier you start,” Bryant says. “But the beauty is: It’s never too late to start. All these systems respond to the right dose of stress in the form of physical activity and exercise.”

Participating in regular physical activity can modify all of these age-related declines in muscle strength, balance, mobility, agility and endurance considerably. “As much as 50 percent of these age-related deficits can be attributed to our lifestyles,” Bryant says. That means you have the power to profoundly influence how or whether these fitness parameters change as you get older. THE POWER OF A PLAN To minimize or delay such declines, you’ll want to follow a well-rounded exercise program that targets endurance, strength, balance, and agility. In every decade, it’s important to start with aerobic exercise — whether it’s walking briskly, jogging, bicycling, swimming, dancing, using a cardio machine (like an elliptical trainer) — several times per week, for at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity per week. (A good gauge of what’s moderate intensity, Bryant says, is being able to talk, but not sing, while you’re working out.) Staying aerobically active is especially important, as you get older, because “losses in cardiovascular fitness occur more rapidly than losses in muscle strength,” notes Fabio Comana, a faculty instructor at the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Beyond that aerobic baseline, here’s what to add in by age. IN YOUR 50S If you haven’t already, it’s critical to work on building and maintaining muscle strength, especially in your lower

body because “you lose muscle strength faster in your lower extremities than in your upper body,” Comana says. Whether you choose to use your own body weight (by doing squats, lunges, pushups or triceps dips), weights or resistance bands is up to you. But it’s best to target all the major muscle groups including the glute muscles (in the buttocks), the quadriceps and hamstrings (in the thighs) and the calf muscles. If you can do a wholebody strength-training regimen that also addresses the pectoral muscles (in the chest), the latissimus dorsi (in the back), the deltoid muscles (in the shoulders) and the biceps and triceps (in the upper arms), that’s even better, Bryant says. “Start with one set of eight to 15 repetitions and work up to two to three sets, twice a week.” Add plank exercises to build and maintain core strength and you will have covered all your bases. IN YOUR 60S AND 70S Make an effort to walk more often and to vary your pace so that you’re alternating between bouts of faster walking and a more comfortable pace, Hall advises. You can work on protecting your balance by trying to stand on one foot for up to 60 seconds with your eyes open, sitting in a chair and lifting one foot from the floor with your eyes closed, or continuously going from a seated to a standing position without using your hands, Comana suggests, noting that these balance exercises can be “somewhat remedial.” To

take extra precautions to protect your balance, you might try a mind-body form of exercise such as yoga, Pilates, or tai chi, which would “provide agility, mobility, flexibility and some muscular fitness benefits as well,” Bryant says. IN YOUR 80S AND BEYOND As far as cardiovascular activities go, “find something you enjoy that provides social engagement and makes you feel energized,” Hall advises. This could involve taking a water aerobics class with friends or joining a walking group. An added perk: “Cardiorespiratory exercise is one of the best deterrents to developing cognitive decline,” Hall says. Continue working on your balance by alternately standing on one leg then the other with one hand on a counter to steady yourself and the other by your side. Or try standing with one foot behind the other, with the heel of the front foot against the toes of the back foot (maintain your balance for 10 seconds then switch placement of the feet). “Be sure to wear supportive shoes,” Hall says. If you find yourself really struggling with balance, consider working with a trainer in a supervised setting. And don’t give up. As the Duke study found, “There are people in their 80s who are doing better than some people in their 60s are,” Hall says. “The body is a malleable machine that responds well to challenges, which means there’s a lot of room for being an active agent in your own health.”

Pirates punch ticket to State with win over Aquinas BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

COLFAX—The Grantsburg Pirates punched their ticket to the State tournament with a hard fought 3-0 sweep of the LaCrosse Aquinas Blugolds on Saturday night, and will head to the Resch Center in Green Bay this weekend. “I’ll borrow a quote from my baseball-coaching husband who says, ‘It’s my goal to win the state championship every year. Some years, it’s a little more realistic than others,’” said head coach Deb Allaman-Johnson. “We talk about state every year because it’s a noble goal. I knew we had depth and skill, but they really started making me a believer toward the end of September.” This will be the 14th trip to State in Grantsburg’s volleyball history, with the last trip coming in 2012. They have won it all and come home with the gold ball in 2001 and 2009. They have been State runners-up five times— 1989, 1998, 2003, 2008 and 2010. This year’s team hopes to

leave their mark in the history books and bring home more hardware for the trophy case at the entrance of the high school. Saturday’s Sectional final

game was an exciting match from start to end, keeping the Pirate faithful on the edge of their seats. Two years ago, the Pirates lost to Aquinas in the

Sectional final and they were looking to avenge that loss. This time they won in straight sets by scores of 25-23, 31-29 and 25-21.

There was a sea of purple on Grantsburg’s side of the gym and they were treated to an amazing night of volleyball filled with booming hits, seemingly impossible digs and long rallies. The Pirates found themselves down 19-22 in the first set, but rallied back to knot up the game at 23-23. A huge block by Olivia Ohnstad and Hanne Johnson put Grantsburg up 2423 with a chance to get the first win under their belt. A bad pass by Aquinas sent the ball back over the net which was met by Johnson who slammed it down on the Blugolds’ court to take the win. The second set was a heartstopper for everyone. After falling behind 6-12, again the Pirates clawed their way back into the game with tough defense and aggressive play at the net. “A lot of teams we face have one huge star that carries them,” Allaman-Johnson commented. “We are a very balanced, scrappy, smart team.

WISCONSIN RAPIDS—The Grantsburg Pirate boys cross country team wanted a good showing to complete their season at the WIAA State Meet in Wisconsin Rapids last Saturday. “Getting to the State meet is always an accomplishment. It is a time to celebrate the season and race for one more PR,” said Pirate coach Lisa McKinley. In a field of 16 teams and a total of 151 runners, the Pirates were 16th. In regards to the runners, the fastest time for the Grantsburg contingent was at 17:36 and the last one was at 20:37. Stated Coach McKinley, “Freshman Will Gerber was the first to cross the line for

This group of young runners have learned so much this season and will bring back a great foundation to build on for the next three years. It will be fun to watch them continue to grow.” Continuing her comments, “Junior Connor DeTienne got hurt on the course and did not have the performance he would have liked. However, his courage and dedication to the team allowed him to finish the race and gain experience that will be so valuable as he comes back next season. For seniors Joey Duncan, Jared Lee, and Nate McKinley, it was a race to always remember. Not many athletes finish their high school career at the State Meet.

Pirates pluck Eagles 51-13 in Level 2 BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Pirates hosted their conference rival, the Unity Eagles, on Friday night in Level 2 of WIAA playoff action and came away with a 51-13 victory to keep their season alive. These teams know each other well and finished the as the top two teams in the conference. The Pirates took the title with an undefeated record, and the Eagles came into this game with one blemish on their seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 49-6 loss to the Pirates back in September. In that September contest, Grantsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leo Chenal racked up six touchdowns. He would do the same on Friday night. Despite some stomach trouble, he left it all on the field amassing 336 rushing yards on 23 carries along with the six scores. A fitting way to celebrate his 18th birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great win for our guys on their final home game,â&#x20AC;? Pirates coach Adam Hale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we did a real nice job on the line of scrimmage opening holes and Leo Chenal did the rest. Rushing for 336 yards at 14 yards per carry is an unreal night. Our offensive line, Bryce Roufs at fullback, and all our wide receivers blocking on the perimeter can take pride in that as well.â&#x20AC;? The scored was all knotted up at 7-7 at the end of the first quarter. The Pirates got on the board first when Leo Chenal busted through the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense, dragging some with him as he scored from 30 yards out. Jared VanWatermuelenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point after was good to take a 7-0 lead. The Eagles scored on a 10-yard pass play at the very end of the quarter to even up the score. The Pirates took a chance and went for it on fourth down and one yard to go. The gamble paid off as Chenal punched it in from 12 yards out for the score. The PAT was good to go up 14-7. The usually stout Pirate defense struggled to slow the Unity offense, and midway through the quarter the Eagles scored again. This time it was a 17-yard run by Hunter Houde. The point after was no good, goiong wide left to make the score 14-13. From the looks of things it appeared this game was going to be a back-and-forth battle all night. But the Pirates had other ideas. They made some defensive adjustments, dug their heels in and held the Eagles scoreless the remainder of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively, we made a few mistakes and were on our heels that first quarter but once we adjusted, we settled down and played solid D,â&#x20AC;? Coach Hale said. The Pirates would light up the scoreboard two more times before the half. With 6:24 left in the quarter, Leo Chenal tallied his third touchdown of the game, running it in from 32 yards out. VanWatermuelenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT was blocked to make the score 20-13.

second play, the offensive line opened up a massive hole in the middle of the field and Leo Chenal ran straight through it untouched, going 65 yards for the score. The PAT was good to go up 37-13. On their next possession, Chenal would score his sixth TD of the game from 13 yards out. VanWatermuelenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT was good to go up 44-13. The Pirates werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done yet. With 3:32 left in the third quarter, Bryce Roufs found the endzone from 20 yards out. The PAT was true to make the score 51-13. The game was running clock from there on out, and neither team scored again. Grantsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback ,Luke Anderson, had a strong night, completing six of eight passes for 84 yards. He also ran the ball three times for 31 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luke Anderson did a great job managing the game, making good decisions and throwing accurately on a wet night,â&#x20AC;? Hale said of his QB. Gabe Chenal caught four passes for 57 yards, while Roufs had three catches for 36 yards. Behind Leo Chenalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 336 rushing yards was Roufs with 62 yards on six carries. Levi Miller had three carries for 20 yards. Defensively, Roufs led the way with five solo tackles along with seven assists. Leo Chenal had seven assists as well along with four solo tackles. Tyrell Brande laid down some booming hits while racking up five solos and two assists. Reed Arnold was all over the field with three solos and four assists. The win puts the Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record at 11-0 on the season as they head into Level 3 off playoff action. They will head to Eau Claire to take on the undefeated No. 1 seeded Regis Ramblers. The Ramblers defeated Spring Valley 41-14 to advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a big challenge going down to play the private school in Eau Claire,â&#x20AC;? Coach Hale said of Regis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a very good team that returns a lot of experience from a season ago and have lots of depth at about every spot. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to play our best game of the year to keep the season alive. Our team is excited for the challenge.â&#x20AC;? Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game will be played at Carson Park in Eau Claire. Game time is 7 p.m.

Leo Chenal celebrated his birthday with a playoff win over Unity Friday night, rushing for 336 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Chenal scored again the next offensive series. This time he took it 65 yards to pay dirt. The PAT was good to go up 27-13. The Pirate defense shut down Unity in three, forcing them to punt and giving the hometown boys another chance to put some points on the board.

Pirates sweep SCF 3-0, head to ﬁnals super crisp at all times and in all areas, but the hustle and heart kept the ball alive and brought us to this point for the third year in a row. Will the third time be the charm? We know we have a tough road, but with the attitude and effort on this team, don’t count us out.” Defensively, Jenna McNally led the team in digs again with 17 on the night. Randi Siebenthal recorded eight digs and Rombach had six. The win sends the Pirates to the Sectional final game in Colfax on Saturday night. They will face LaCrosse Aquinas for the right to go to the state tournament in Green Bay.

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

CLEAR LAKE—The Pirates traveled to Clear Lake on Thursday night to take a familiar conference rival, the St. Croix Falls Saints, in the Sectional semi-finals. You could call this game the rubber match, as these two teams split the regular season. SCF took the first contest 3-2 on Grantsburg’s home court, then the Pirates returned the favor defeating the Saints 3-1 in their house. Although both those games were important, this one had a completely different feel. This time whoever lost would be going home and hanging up their jersey for good. The Pirates weren’t ready to end their season, and took a sweep of the Saints winning by scores of 25-17, 25-20 and 25-22. “A lot of us had some fear headed into this match. It wasn’t because of the silly cliche “It’s hard to play a team three times” because in volleyball, we have to win three times every time we compete,” Pirates head coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “And it wasn’t as if we had already beaten them twice and had the pressure to do so a third time. In fact, we were tied. This was just the tie-breaker. SCF beat us 2-3 at home in early September. We beat them 3-1 at their gym in mid-October. I knew we had grown stronger and more united throughout the season, but facing a formidable conference foe is always a challenge. St. Croix Falls has taller, more dominant hitters and blockers. Thankfully, we have a lot of solid players who are strong in many aspects of the game, and we were able to fend them off.” Olivia Ohnstad was on fire in the middle of the net racking up 10 kills on the night to lead the offense. Senior leader Linda Harmon was next on the list with eight kills, followed by Hanne Johnson with six and Brooke Quimby with five. Randi Siebenthal rounded out the list with four kills. Grantsburg’s two setters were pretty even on the

night with Charli Siebenthal putting up 14 assists and McKenzie Rombach right behind her with 13. “Every point felt like a battle, and all three sets were back and forth until we got in the 18-point range and pulled ahead a little more confidently,” Allaman-Johnson said. “Our serving was tough and accurate; and if we weren’t scoring aces, we were being rewarded with the occasional free ball. Our offense was spread out and effective. Hitters kept pounding away, even after a block or unforced error. Our setters worked hard! Defense was dynamite! We weren’t

most depth that Grantsburg has ever had. Many officials have commented that we can clear the bench and not skip a beat.” Grantsburg tied up the game at 13-13 before going on a short run to go up 1714. The Blugolds were not going to just go away, and they went on a run of their own to take over the lead. Suddenly the Pirates found themselves down 17-21. Again the Pirates fought their way back into the game and tied it up at 2222. Great serving by Kaitlin Olson and McKenzie Rombach kept the Blugolds out of sync which the Pirates took advantage of. Both teams had chances to end this set for the win, but neither team was giving up either. The game was tied at 24-24, 25-25, 26-26, 27-27, 28-28 and 29-29. Big hits by Linda Harmon, Rachel Tooze and Johnson along with blocks by Ohnstad kept Grantsburg firing at the net, while diving saves by Randi Siebenthal and Jenna McNally in the back row kept feeding them. They eventually won this never-ending set 31-29 off a tip-back by Ohnstad to go up 2-0. The Pirates fell behind early in the third set but eventually got back into the groove and took control. At one point they held a 20-15 lead over the Blugolds, but at this level it was never going to be that easy. Aquinas went on a short run and then the teams traded points until the Pirates got to that pivotal moment— game point. They were up 24-21 with a trip to State on the line, when coach Allaman-Johnson made a gutsy move and

pulled sophomore Jadyn Watt off the bench and sent her in to serve. Watt confidently stepped behind the service line and fired a shot over the net which was mishandled by the Blugolds’ libero, and that was it. The Pirates were going to State. The gym erupted with cheers and the rest of the team and coaches rushed the court to celebrate. They had done it. They were headed to Green Bay to play for a State title. “I rarely single people out publicly, because volleyball is probably the most team-oriented sport there is. Every contact depends on the prior contact and there’s nowhere to hide a weak player,”

the coach said. “However, HUGE kudos to sophomore Jadyn Watt who came in totally cold, played exactly one point, and served a game point ace to seal the victory. She aces our starters every day in practice and is a very steady and accurate player, so we all knew she could. But it still took guts to get it done and I’m really proud of her.” The Pirates’ high powered offense put down 40 kills on the night. The attacks were evenly spread amongst the team with Harmon leading the way with nine kills. She was followed closely by Johnson with eight, Randi Siebenthal with seven and Ohnstad with six. Brooke Quimby and Tooze added five kills each. The setters ran the court and fed their hitters all night. Charli Siebenthal tallied 19 assists and Rombach had 13. They were also strong from behind the service line with six aces. Olson had the hot hand with three of those aces coming from her. Rombach had two and Watt had the game-winning ace. The Pirate defense was quick and scrappy. The senior libero McNally was all over the court recording 21 digs. The always-steady Randi Siebenthal had 16 digs herself. Raisa Jensen came off the bench and added 11 digs. Harmon, Ohnstad and Johnson had one block each for the match. “I can’t say enough good things about our kids. Everyone works hard. Everyone wants it. They just have that extra special something that drives them,” Coach Allaman-Johnson said. “Our parents and community have been especially supportive. There is great fan support at games and the parents had

the team bus all decked out with well wishes. It looked like a magical wonderland and we were all very touched. Thanks to We Are Grantsburg for expert & enthusiastic coverage. Fans back home really appreciate being able to follow the action.” The Pirates will take on Lake Country Lutheran (36-11) at 1:00 pm on Friday at the Resch Center in Green Bay. The winner will play for the championship on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. against the winner of the Stratford (43-0) vs Living Word Lutheran (29-6) semi-final. “Like my mentor Bill Morrin used to say when we’d get to state, ‘It’s all just icing on the cake now.’ I hope we compete as well as we can and enjoy the ride,” Allaman-Johnson concluded.

Kaitlin Olson was a steady presence from the serving line. She tallied 3 aces on the night.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

OCTOBER 31, 2018

NOTICE OF GENERAL ELECTION AND SAMPLE BALLOTS NOVEMBER 6, 2018 OFFICE OF THE BURNETT COUNTY CLERK TO THE VOTERS OF BURNETT COUNTY Notice is hereby given of a general election to be held in Burnett County, on November 6, 2018, at which the officers named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each office to be voted for, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office and under the appropriate party or other designation, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, in the sample ballot below. INFORMATION TO VOTERS Upon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address, show an acceptable form of photo identification and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter does not have acceptable photo identification, the voter may obtain a free photo ID for voting from the Division of Motor Vehicles. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence if the voter provides proof of residence. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth or machine and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice. Where Paper Ballots are Used The voter shall make a mark (X) in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall make a cross (X) in the square next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall make a cross (X) in the square next to “no” if opposed to the question.

Where Touch Screen Voting is Used The voter shall touch the screen at the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall touch the screen at “yes” if in favor of the question or the voter shall touch the screen next to “no” if opposed to the question. The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the voter in marking his or her ballot may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked. Note: A voter must vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor jointly on one ticket. A vote for Governor is also a vote for Lieutenant Governor. To vote for persons whose names do not appear on the ballot, write the names of individuals for both offices on the lines provided. If a voter spoils a paper ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election official who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. The voter may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast. After Voting the Ballot After an official paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so that the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors’ initials on the outside do show. The voter shall then deposit the voted ballot in the proper ballot box or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit and leave the polling place promptly.

After an official touch screen ballot is cast, the voter shall leave the polling place promptly. A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing, or understanding English, or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her

ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter. The following is a sample of the official ballot: /s/ Wanda Hinrichs, Burnett County Clerk

chunk of change, so I think you’re going to have to get some fresh fiscal numbers to see whether or not you could pull that off,” Fitzgerald said during the WisPolitics.com luncheon on Oct. 16. Still, the Senate leader said it’s likely the state could fund another proposal from Walker to increase state transportation funding for counties and towns that would together cost about $110 million annually. “That’s actually where there’s a lot of pressure for legislators back home in the district,” Fitzgerald said. “I think that is a commitment you can live up to.” The Capitol Report is written by editorial staff at WisPolitics.com, a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics, and is distributed for publication by members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

There is nothing like homemade meatballs and spaghetti, the one meal my kids ask for over and over again. I remember my mother making meatballs as big as softballs topped with thick rich sauce over thin angel hair pasta. She would spend hours in the kitchen every few weeks on Sunday cooking up an Italian storm—you’d think she was Italian. She also made homemade garlic bread Wild Chow and antipasto. She’d make the table twice Lisa Erickson as big as normal and invite family over. She’d ask my sister and me to set the table with fine linens and glassware. I felt like a princess on pasta Sunday. I cherish those memories. I remember our guests raving about my mother’s meatballs as they asked for the recipe. I’ve adapted her recipe over the years to serve a crowd and to make it my own. I prefer a very smooth sauce. That way, the meatballs are the shining stars—not the sauce. I also like smaller meatballs—about the size of a walnut. I think they look prettier on a

Pasta Sundays

plate as opposed to one giant meatball. I would say this is also one of my favorite recipes—just ask my kids. Two out of three have asked for it for their graduations, birthdays and more. Homemade spaghetti and meatballs is a meal that makes memories, but it takes some extra effort—but trust me you won’t be disappointed!

While the sauce is cooking, prepare the meatballs.

Spaghetti Sauce Serves 8 2/3 cup good quality red wine such as Chianti 2 28-ounce cans tomato sauce 1 4-ounce can tomato paste 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning 1/2 Tbsp. basil 1-2 Tbsp. sugar, to taste 2 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. garlic 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper Meatballs with the grease and browned bits from the bottom of the baking sheet

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, pesto, and cheese. Set aside. In a food processor, or in a bag with a rolling pin, crush the croutons. Add to the beef mixture with the milk. Carefully mix—but don’t over do it or the meatballs will be tough. Mix on low or with your hands until thoroughly combined. Get your hands wet with water and make the meatballs into the size of large walnuts with the shell. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet about 1/2 inch from each other. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes or until tops begin to brown—they do not have to be cooked through. The meatballs will finish cooking in the sauce. Transfer the meatballs to the simmering sauce. Simmer on low for 20 minutes covered. Serve over hot pasta.

In a large saucepan, bring wine to a slow simmer; reduce wine by half. Add remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer on low for at least one hour covered.

Italian Meatballs 1 pound ground beef 1 1/2 cups Italian croutons 1/3 cup pesto 1/3 Parmesan cheese 1/3 cup milk

Families learn together at the museum CABLE—Fun and learning were in the air at the Cable Natural History Museum recently, as about 100 people from more than 23 families from the Drummond Area School District participated in MuseumMobile Family Day events. MuseumMobile is an outreach program where a Museum Naturalist visits each classroom in grades pre-K through six up to three times a year. The naturalist teaches lessons that explore science and nature through experiments, games, furs, skulls, and more. This program reaches more than 2,000 students in nine schools annually. This year, with the help of a generous $5,000 grant from the Xcel Energy Foundation, the Museum invited students from the Drummond Elementary School and their families to participate in festival-like Family Days. To help accommodate busy schedules, parents

After a meal of pizza from Coop’s in Hayward, many families stayed to play in the Museum’s Curiosity Center and Bee Amazed exhibit. Thanks to the Xcel Energy Foundation for sponsoring these exciting events and supporting an opportunity for parents and students to learn together!

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really believe it

Pastor CJ Johnson Adventure Church

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For I know the plans I have for you,â&#x20AC;? declares the Lord, â&#x20AC;&#x153;plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jeremiah 29:11 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jeremiah 33:3 Each year, I set out new goals to work towards because they give me energy, a sense of direction and a plan of action. I have learned that I can have a good plan, but without action nothing gets done. People judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hardboiled egg. A thousand words will not leave the lasting impression as one deed. Action

is the natural friend of direction. Make your goals intentional and always followed by appropriate action. Action subdues fear. When we challenge our fears, we master them. When we wrestle with our problems they lose their grip on us. When we dare to confront the things that scare us we open the door to our liberty. Momentum doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just happen; the common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true: action precedes motivation. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to be motivated! Take the bull by the horns until you have him screaming for mercy. Do you believe in the goals you set for yourself? Then take the steps to make them a reality! Nothing is more

exhausting than searching for the easy way to do things. Laziness keeps going on and on, but soon enough it arrives at poverty. We are weakest when we try to get something from nothing. A man of words and not of deeds is like a flower bed full of weeds. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let weeds grow around your dreams and goals this year. To only dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are. Some people dream of great accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them. We need to be a cross between a carrier pigeon and a woodpecker; be not only the carrier of the message, but be the knock at the door. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all walk out His plan.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

OCTOBER 31, 2018

Bra ﬁtting after mastectomy or reconstruction Bra manufacturers insist that millions of women wear the wrong size bras. According to an international survey of 10,000 women from Swiss lingerie company Triumph, 64 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra. Other studies suggest that figure is closer to 80 percent. While it can be challenging for women with healthy breasts to get the right fit, a well-fitting bra is essential, especially for those who have undergone mastectomy or reconstruction after breast cancer. Post-mastectomy and lumpectomy procedures vary. Some women opt for a prosthesis, which is essentially a breast form (silicone, foam or fiber-fill) that is placed inside of a bra or attached to the chest wall. Other women choose to undergo surgical reconstruction that will involve the insertion of an implant. Depending on the procedure they undergo, women may need to purchase special bras called “mastectomy bras.” John Hopkins Medicine advises that mastectomy boutiques and specialty shops carry a variety of prosthetics and garments. Such shops also may employ certified fitters who are skilled at fitting women who have undergone treatment for breast cancer. Women should know that their bodies may change after undergoing a mastectomy. It may be necessary to get sized after surgery and frequently thereafter to accommodate for weight loss/ gain and other changes as one ages. The Pink Bra, a mastectomy bra specialty retailer, advises every woman should have her bra and breast form fitting checked at least once per year to allow for changes in weight or body shape that may occur as a result of

post-surgery treatment. Certain bra styles may feel and look better to women than others, depending on the type of surgery and reconstruction they had. For exam-

ple, a camisole bra may help cover surgical scars while a conventional strap bra might be suitable when no tissue has been removed under the clavicle. It may take some

trial and error to find a brand, style and size that is most comfortable. A surgeon will recommend the appropriate time to start wearing a prosthesis or undergo further reconstruction. He or she also can advise when substantial healing has occurred so that bra fittings will be most accurate. A physician may write a prescription for any prosthetic device or mastectomy bra so patients’ insurance companies will cover them. John Hopkins says that, in the United States, most insurance companies will cover up to four mastectomy bras per year.

When properly sized and fitted for a woman’s needs, post-mastectomy bras will look natural and feel comfortable. Being a woman is the leading risk factor for breast cancer. Only skin cancers exceed breast cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States. Although roughly one in 1,000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, the disease most often affects women. The American Breast Cancer Society says that breast cancer is 100 times more common in women than men. A woman now

has a one in eight chance of being diagnosed in her lifetime, according to the National Cancer Institute. Although some breast cancers are traced to inherited gene mutations, 85 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no prior family history. Non-Hispanic white women have higher rates of breast cancer incidence, but all women are susceptible. This underscores the importance of being aware of the disease, following recommended screening guidelines and taking notice of any changes that occur in the breasts.
