Hit-and-run suspect pleads not guilty
Goats feast on buckthorn
SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNOR KNOWLES FOREST— The invasive species buckthorn is a longtime villain of northern Wisconsin forests. Studies show buckthorn originates from Eurasia and was introduced to North America as ornamentals. It is believed Wisconsin first encountered this species in 1849 and it became widespread after 1900. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has for some time now engineered different ways to combat this invasive species. Buckthorn has the ability to squeeze out native plants due to the longevity of its leaves’ life cycles. The leafs display early and retain their presence late into the fall creating dense shade that helps it to muscle-out many native plants. What is one way to help combat this species— a particularly environmental way? Goats. In 2012, DNR staff at Governor Knowles State Forest noticed an unwelcome abundance of buckthorn in Sunrise Ferry (Polk County) and immediately began devising ways to help rid the area of the invasive species. In this predominantly oak and aspen area, common buckthorn is present in the under-story of the forest along the St. Croix River. This area was soon designated as a demonstration area for buckthorn treatment trials to evaluate methods for control. The DNR called upon the Munch Bunch for help, an organization developed by a St. Croix Falls farm. The Munch Bunch specializes in “mob grazing” as a method of brush control. Goat grazing is becoming a widely used

GOVERNMENT CENTER— The Radisson man charged with killing Courtney Oustigoff in a hit-and-run incident in July of 2016 plead not guilty on Sept. 28. The day was set for a preliminary hearing; however, Domminic Angelo Richard Haug gen, 35, and his defense attorney C Christopher Stephen Petros i informed the court they are w waiving rights to a preliminary. A preliminary hearing is for t use of the judge to determine the w whether there is enough evidence Haugen to force the defendant to stand trial. Because of the waiver, this case is set for further proceedings, including trial. A status conference is set for 2:45 p.m. Dec. 7.
Background According to the criminal complaint filed in Burnett County Court from February, Oustigoff was struck after 10:53 p.m. the evening of June 14 and before 6:11 a.m. the morning of June 15. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Department received an anonymous tip that Haugen struck a female with his white Dodge pickup truck and dragged her from the point of impact. Haugen allegedly returned to his residence to clean the truck. There, he smeared animal blood on the vehicle to hide the damage. A search of the vehicle by authorities “revealed a piece of cloth stuck between a clamp and a hose near the transmission.” Officers SEE HAUGEN, PAGE 9

Petunias from the sidewalk It’s amazing where petunias will grow with abundant rain and sun. Seeds from last year’s hanging basket apparently landed in a crack in the sidewalk last fall and seeded themselves this spring. Employees at Indianhead Credit Union in downtown Grantsburg said in previous years they have seen a few blossoms sprout from the sidewalk, but nothing like this year’s lovely spray. Dean Faulhaber of Wood River Garden Store says the baskets the village purchased from him are “Above and Beyond” variety petunias, and they proved true to the their name.

Wisconsin celebrates School Board Week BURNETT COUNTY—The Wisconsin Association of School Boards has set Oct. 1-7 as Wisconsin School Board Week, a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our communities. Webster, Siren and Grantsburg School Districts are joining all public school districts across the state to celebrate Wisconsin School Board Week to honor local board members for their commitment to students and children in our community and throughout the state of Wisconsin. It takes strong schools to build a strong community, and these men and women devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn at a higher level. They make the tough decisions every month and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of accountability our citizens expect. The key work of school boards is to raise student achievement by: • Creating a vision for what the community wants the school district to be and for making student achievement the top priority; • Establishing standards for what students will be expected to learn and be able to do; • Ensuring progress is measured to be sure the district’s goals are achieved and students are learning at expected levels; • Being accountable for their decisions and actions by continually tracking and reporting results; • Creating a safe, orderly climate where students can learn and teachers can teach; • Forming partnerships with others in the community to solve common problems; and • Focusing attention on the need for continuous improvement by questioning, refining and revising issues related to student achievement. Even though we make a special effort to show our appreciation in October, their contribution is a yearround commitment.

Acorn pancakes
Acorns are not only bountiful this year, they are huge. Seeing the piles and piles of them in my back yard brings me back to a novel I read as a child, My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George published in 1959, the year before my birth. Living in the wilderness, the boy in the story made acorn pancakes – something I wanted to try since that time. The busyness of growing up, jobs, childrearing and the like mostly put it out of my mind all these years. This season’s nickel-size “northern nuts” immediately reminded me. They aren’t wearing just “caps” this year, they’re wearing full jackets, too. This is the year for acorn pancakes, I resolutely Newbie decided. in the My Side of the Mountain is the Northwoods story of an early teenage boy feeling trapped and unhappy in Lori Callahan a crowded New York apartment with his parents and numerous siblings. He embarks on a journey to live in the Catskill Mountains on his own and mostly ill prepared. Though the story was intended for children older than I was and I didn’t then fully understand all its subtleties, it struck home with me living with my own parents and ten siblings in a small-roomed house, overcrowded and nowhere for peace and quiet or to be alone. I, too, often escaped to the patches of woods that occupied portions of our little town. However, unlike the boy in the story who stayed away from home for months, I always returned by the 5 p.m. suppertime curfew. (I ran away once in teenage years, but that’s a whole different story!) Gathering half a pailful of acorns, I rinsed them, peeled off caps and jackets, and boiled them in lemon-tainted water. As an artist, I know that if one uses colors on the opposite side of the color wheel together, a beautiful balance is achieved. I reasoned, by envisioning a “taste wheel,” that the sour would be harmonious with the bitterness of acorns. Having tasted one in childhood, I knew they were extremely bitter. (This was about the same time period I tasted the neighbor’s dry dog food, a friend’s cat food, dirt and other curiosities. Of them all, dirt had the most interesting flavor.) Two hours of boiling barely softened the acorns, but I did learn a nice orange color can be produced from their caps in the event of an apocalypse where painting pigments may be hard to come by. Instead, I pulverized them and with water and a touch of salt, prepared my batter. They fried up okay, but even with boiling with lemon, adding butter and real maple syrup, the nasty taste I recalled from childhood was strong. Acorn pancakes? ...well, I had forgotten the novel was fiction.

It’s a free country We spent the last week discussing the national anthem, the flag, the National Football League (NFL), the Bill of Rights and the president’s musings on Twitter. People have strong opinions about respecting the flag and the concepts and ideals it represents. I’m not here to try to convince anyone that their feelings about the flag and our nation are wrong. From the Publisher’s This is America, founded on the Desk principle that the individual has Tom Stangl the right to their b li f and d the h freedom f beliefs to express or not express them. The president caused a stir last week when he told his social media followers that players who show disrespect for the flag and the anthem should be fired. He urged boycotts by fans of games until the league created a rule forcing players to stand during the anthem. There have been ongoing protests by some players who kneel during the anthem to protest police brutality. The president called for the “S.O.B.s” who disrespect the flag to be fired, and for the NFL to change their policies to force players to stand for the anthem.
The NFL is a big business. Lots of money is paid by fans to watch the games live and increasingly on pay television, lots of money is spent on officially licensed products. The players are represented by a union and have a contract that outlines duties and responsibilities. If a change is to be made, it will have to be negotiated. I think this “controversy” is a tempest in a teapot. In ancient Rome, politicians used extravagant games and free food to curry favor with the public, who had become more and more disconnected from political policies. This policy became known as “bread and circuses.” The dictionary defines bread and circuses as “something, as extravagant entertainment, offered as an expedient means of pacifying discontent or diverting attention from a source of grievance.” I believe it’s easier for the president to bring up patriotism and the perceived lack of respect for our nation than to work on the very real problems that face our nation. We have a health insurance system that is in desperate need of repair. We live every day waiting to see if North Korea will launch an attack. Natural disasters, from fires to hurricanes, have devastated parts of our nation. The number of refugees in the world is at the high-

est level since World War II. If there ever was a time we needed to pull together to find common ground, roll up our sleeves and get to work, it is now. Take the 2013 advice offered by Donald Trump when President Obama tweeted that the Washington Redskins should change the name of their team: “President should not be telling the Washington Redskins to change their name-our country has far bigger problems! FOCUS on them, not nonsense.” Don’t get caught up in this flag drama. Pay attention and demand action on the real problems. We may not agree with how others express their patriotism, but they have every right to do so. After all, it still is a free country, thanks to the efforts of the people who served in the military.

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
‘Constitutional carry’ bill receiving mixed responses in the Legislature
SIREN SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Siren School District will join school districts throughout the state to salute their local education leaders during Wisconsin School Board Week October 1-7. The commemorative week is designed to recognize the contributions made by Wisconsin’s school board members, including the Siren School Board, who are charged with governing public education under state law. Wisconsin school board members are chosen by their communities to manage local schools. They oversee multi-million dollar budgets which fund education programs for more than 867,00 students in more than 420 public schools districts. Their personnel decisions affect thousands of teachers, administrators and support workers. These volunteer leaders are responsible for formulating school district policy, approving curricula, maintaining school facilities, and adhering to state and federal education law. Legal concerns and the complexities of school finance, including budgeting and taxation, require them to spend many hours in board training programs and personal study to enhance their understanding of these issues. Our deepest appreciation is extended to the dedication men and women who make it possible for local citizens to participate in education in our community. We salute the public servants of the Siren School Board whose commitment and civic responsibility make local control of public schools in our community possible: Peggy Moore, Mark Pettis, Duane Emery, Georgia Cederberg, Rhonda Highstrom, Susie Imme and Jim Kopecky. Please join us by saying thanks to our school board members during Wisconsin School Board Week.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: I would like to inform the people in Burnett and Polk County of a program that is available if their loved ones are at risk of going into a facility and you want to keep them home and take care of them. It’s called the IRIS program. I learned about this program over a year ago when my grandfather was at risk due to Alzheimer’s of going into a nursing home and we wanted to keep him home. He was on Medicaid, we went to the ADRC and found out through them about the IRIS program. His grandchildren, his friends and his children got paid to keep him at home – we helped him with bathing, we helped him with housekeeping, we helped him keep his dignity. So I would encourage everyone to contact the ADRC at the government center and ask about the IRIS program if you or you know someone who wants to stay home and not go to a nursing home or to an assisted living facility. It’s a wonderful, blessed program that gave my grandfather dignity until he passed away and the best part of it is even though it’s a state program, my nurse lived in Siren, Wisconsin, and the consultant who worked with him with his monthly budget and services lived in Frederic, so they’re not State people they’re local people who know the local resources. I can’t tell you enough how much my family is so grateful to the IRIS program. I believe this program is not only for the elderly but for the physically disabled and mentally challenged.

BY WISPOLITICS.COM
MADISON—A bill that would allow constitutional carry is upsetting Democrats and getting a so-so response from the leader of the State Assembly. The bill was okayed by a GOPrun Senate committee in mid-September and could get a vote this fall. The bill would allow people to carry concealed guns without first getting a license, green-light the carrying of those weapons on school grounds in certain situations and permit the carrying of tasers without licenses or training, among other things. The amended version would also add permit requirements for concealed carrying in school zones to ensure parents who pick up and drop off their kids while carrying aren’t breaking the law. The “right to carry” bill was introduced by Rep. Mary Felzkowski, R-Irma, and Sen. Dave Craig, R-Town of Vernon. It is backed by groups like the NRA. Tony Evers, the state schools superintendent and a Democratic candidate for governor, said the bill is an example of legislation he’d “be playing goalie on” if he got elected governor. “Kids in Wisconsin don’t need more guns near or around schools,” Evers said. “I’ll continue to oppose language that jeopardizes the safety of kids.” Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said possible improvements could be made to Wisconsin’s law that requires a permit to carry a concealed weapon. But, he added: “I also think our

In the meantime, some Democrats are using the issue to raise money for their campaigns. Said Sen. Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee, in a recent fundraising appeal: “...Republicans legislators advanced a bill that will allow pretty much anyone to carry a loaded, concealed firearm in public without any safety training or even a simple background check, a boon to the gun industry and more danger in our communities. “I have consistently stood up to the gun lobby and won’t back down now. But, I can’t win this critical fight for public safety alone. Can I count on your support of $100, $50, $35 or whatever you can afford to help ensure that we can continue to be an effective voice in standing for our values? “The gun lobby and firearm corporations want a big win in Wisconsin and they are willing to pay for it. They peddle fear with campaigns of misinformation, backed by money from the record profits they are raking in. We need to stand up and say ‘No More.’ ” The NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action says, “This bill recognizes a law-abiding adult’s unconditional Right to Keep and Bear Arms for self-defense in the manner he or she chooses. Further, 12 states currently have similar Right to Carry laws which allow law-abiding individuals to possess a concealed firearm for self-defense without a permit.” It’s the kind of competing messages you might see in next year’s campaigns.

current process isn’t broken.” Vos said he has long argued those who, for example, have a gun in their car shouldn’t be committing a felony when they drop their child off at school because of gun-free school zones. The bill would allow those who have concealed carry permits to have a gun in their car or within five feet of their vehicles when on school grounds. When the Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee took its vote advancing the legislation, the two Democrats on the panel were opposed. Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, said the legislation aims to “weaken firearm laws, and I think we should strengthen them.” Sen. Lena Taylor, D-Milwaukee, said while she supports the right to carry, the legislation “is a deviation from what the majority of Wisconsinites agree with,” as she called for stronger training and licensing requirements rather than backing reductions to what’s already in state law. “We don’t even let people get behind a car without some training and a license,” she said. “So I’m challenged with something that’s much smaller and more powerful and deadly.” Gov. Scott Walker in June had said he supports and is “comfortable” with the current concealed carry law, which requires anyone who carries a concealed weapon to get a permit. But Senate committee chair Van Wanggaard’s office said he’s confident it’ll pass both chambers and earn Walker’s signature.

Blake case moves forward
GRO: Grantsburg Revitalization Operation CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNMENT CENTER— The case involving Michelle Blake and the alleged embezzelement of church funds is inching closer to an end. However, after hearing a plea agreement, Judge Daniel Tolan ordered a Pre-Sentence Investigation report to be prepared by the Department of Corrections first before pronouncing a sentence. The court is not bound to accept the plea agreement after reviewing the investigation report. Blake was accused of embezzeling funds from two area churches dating back to 2010. On Sept. 27, District Attorney Bill Norine detailed a plea agreement that would subject Blake to plead guilty to count one (theft-business setting >$10,000) and be placed on five years probation with an imposed and stayed three-year bifurcated prison sentence. If revoked, the agreement requires one and a half years incarceration and a year and a half of extended supervision. Also, under the agreement, Blake would be required to pay $25,729.73 restitution by way of monthly payments of $430.00. Count two (theft-business setting >$10,000) would be read in and dismissed. Blake entered a plea of no contest to count one and the court found her guilty. Blake has been under the council of five different attorneys since court activity began in 2014. Attorney Joseph M. Schieffer has been her council since May 2, 2017. Sentencing is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., Dec. 4.
Background Blake worked as secretary/bookkeeper for St. John the Baptist Church and Sacred Hearts Church from Oct. 2010 to Sept. 2013. She is charged with allegedly writing 47 checks to herself from the St. John the Baptist’s checking account totaling $42,959.61 and 30 checks from the Sacred Hearts checking account totaling $34,904.22. Court records also indicate unauthorized withdrawals from the church checking accounts plus unauthorized charges against church credit cards totaled $128,000. The crimes, two counts of theft from a business setting in excess of $10,000, are Class G felonies.
Plan Perfect the
the beginning stages, some, like the Natural Resources committee, have seen great successes—the Wood River was cleared of debri from Memory Lake to the St. Croix River and a natural resources promotional kiosk is close to completion. The branding committee created a new logo, tagline “Start Here” and brand identity for Grantsburg. The Downtown committee has repainted numerous fire hydrants in the village with creative brushes, and many old, derelict structures have been removed in order to provide space for new, usable structures. With all of this excitement and more, GRO is constantly on the lookout for new ways to implement change. GRO recently submitted an application to the Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This program partners communities like Grantsburg with senior UW students who have an interest in urban and community revitalization as part of their capstone project.
The application was accepted and GRO is now partnered with UW-Madison senior Saige Henkel. This particular Badger student is from Baraboo - has lived in both Milwaukee and Madison - and had the choice of over 22 projects from around the Midwest. Henkel’s capstone project will run from now until May of 2018. She was present in Grantsburg this past week to discuss with Peterson and other GRO members the scope of her project. The application GRO submitted to the University details five main projects: Community Gateways, Connecting Crex Meadows, Community Trail Connectivity, Downtown Streetscape Design, and Community Camping and Trail Design. As it is in its beginning stages, Henkel stated she is interested in three projects in particular for her capstone. “Out of the five, I think focusing on three is best. I’m very interested in the downtown revitalization, community gateway, and connecting Crex Meadows,” said Henkel. While this student has
quite a lot of research to do about the area via historical documents, geographic information system (GIS) software and more, conversation about potential plans flowed last week during the initial meeting. “It sounds like your interests align with what we talk about most,” said Peterson.
Downtown The downtown revitalization project is centered around streetscape design and creating a more vibrant and charming downtown. This could be achieved with green spaces, lighting, crosswalk improvements, etc. However, another main concern of GRO (and many in the community) is the conditions of the buildings and Saige noted she could contribute an inspirational façade plan Community Gateway Twenty years ago there was a lack of business along Highway 70, now there are over 20. And with Highway 70 being a highly traveled stretch for both Wisconsinites and Minnesotans, Grantsburg is in need of a plan to continue growth and make
that area more aesthetically pleasing with the possible implementation of frontage roads, green spaces and sidewalks. At the moment, most businesses have their own driveway and with a high speed limit through town, there is a safety concern. There needs to be a sense of community in order for people to want to stop and see what Grantsburg has to offer. Connecting Crew Meadows Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area is a 30,000 acre property, one of the largest state-owned wildlife areas in the United States and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. However, it is off by itself. By better connecting the highway to the visitor center, GRO feels they can increase tourism and business for the downtown community. These topics only scratch the surface of what Henkel and GRO will be exploring in the coming months.

ceived a call from a hunter – Robert Kniefel, 61, of Lakeville – who told them he was lost in the Nemadji State Forest area of Pine County. The cell phone connection was poor, and dispatchers were only able to receive limited information about the hunter and his location. The Nemadji State Forest covers roughly 92,000 acres and contains hundreds of miles of ATV and snowmobile trails. Pine County deputies were dispatched to the area believed to be where the call came from, and began to search the ATV trails from east of Kerrick and Bruno. More resources were called in from the Kerrick and Bruno fire departments, as well as conservation officers and forestry workers from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Mille Lacs Tribal DNR officers
and Minnesota State Patrol aircraft also joined in the search. Family and friends of Kniefel were on the scene as well and assisted in searching alongside rescue personnel. A Pine County officer was able to exchange some text messages with Kniefel until cell phone connection was again lost. It was believed that the Kniefel’s cell phone battery was no longer charged as of Tuesday evening. During the course of Tuesday and Wednesday, there were in excess of 50 searchers in the Pine County area alone. Additional searches were in place in Douglas County, Wisconsin due to the size of the search area. A helicopter from the Minnesota State Patrol flew the area on Tuesday. However, SEE HUNTER, PAGE 8

Country Cafe on Main is booming SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GRANTSBURG— A lot of talk about what to do with Main Street in Grantsburg has been circulating. Revitalization projects are being pondered, and calls for funds are ringing loud. Well, with a walk down the village’s main drag, one can find popping businesses already, like The Country Cafe on Main. Dale Bistram, who may be remembered from Dale’s Restaurant (19972007), picked up the reigns of the restaurant in December 2016 and has given the place a bit of a make-over. The walls are bedecked with portraits of Grantsburg through the years— restaurant goers can slip back in time to the days of World War I and see U.S. troops marching down Main Street. The famous faces of the Saunders - Hannah (first female Sheriff) and Charlie Saunders (former Sheriff) - are in ready view for patrons to drink in some local history. To add a bit more charm, an array of locally printed calenders from years past hang by the tables depicting scenes from this beloved Northwoods village. Bistram, a Grantsburg native (GHS ‘88), has worked in many different types of food establishments. His experience ranges from corporate locations to local establishments. Without a doubt, he prefers to keep it local. “I like to have my own place, keep it people oriented,” he said. Bistram explained that corporate

restaurants have more of a “bottom-line” mentality while local eateries are more personal. “We need to keep variety,” he said while explaining the menu. He added, “Some people eat here everyday.” Bistram noted the menu offers many of the same dishes from before he took over the restaurant, but a few new dish-
Unemployment rises drops in August TOM STANGL PUBLISHER
BURNETT COUNTY— The unemployment rate in Burnett County rose in August to 4.4 percent, up from July’s rate of 4.0 percent. According to Wisconsin’s WorkNet, 7,155 people were working in the county in July. The highest number of employed persons in the county peaked in June of 2004 at 8,325, according to online records, which began being kept in 1990. There were 327 unemployed in the county in August. The lowest number of unemployed this year occurred in May, when there were 279 people seeking work. The historic low for the county was 182 unemployed in October of 1999. The county’s workforce is 7,482. The

peak workforce was June of 2004 at 8,805. Unemployment was a mixed bag in neighboring counties. In Polk County, the rate increased to 3.0 percent, up from to 2.9 percent in July. Barron County’s unemployment rate dropped to 3.0 percent from July’s rate of 3.1. In Washburn County, the jobless rate rose to 3.6 percent, up from was 3.5 percent in July. Douglas County’s unemployment rate rose to 4.5 percent in August, up from 4.1 percent in July. Dane County retained bragging rights for the lowest unemployment rate at 2.4 percent.

es are now available to keep customers wanting more. “The previous owners did a great job catering to the likes of the local folks and all I would like to do is expand upon that,” he said. Still on the hearty menu are local favorites like the Cranberry Rachel, the Skillet, the ever-popular omelets and
crispy hash-browns. New are the Hot Italian on grilled focaccia bread and the German Reuben. Bistram is proud to offer old favorites and new hits while also offering specials every day. “The cafe has a lot of regulars and I try to keep variety so they don’t get bored,” he said. He explained that creating new items and studying favorites allows him to be creative with his specials list, something he was unable to do while at chain restaurants. An avid gardener, Bistram brings his own fruits and veggies into the Country Cafe kitchen; even some of the cooks bring their own garden goodies. While history hangs proud on the walls, the building itself is an antique. As far back as the 1870s, the building was a meat market. However, not everything about this location is doused in history. Bistram keeps up to date by email-blasting the daily specials and posting regularly on the Cafe’s Facebook. Because of this, Bistram has implemented take-out to the Cafe’s services. Whether it’s to sip a cup of joe with friends, enjoy a good burger, or some of Bistram’s dynamite Lemon Angel pie, be sure to take a look around the next time you visit The Country Cafe on Main to get a glimpse of this town’s history. With Grantsburg setting its sights on revitalization, the Cafe is on the right track.

the heavy foliage. Private, non-profit K-9 search dog teams offered their help and were called in. Hundreds of miles of area ATV, snowmobile and hiking trails were checked by Wednesday evening with no results. On Wednesday evening, the Minnesota State Patrol assisted in a night time search with their airplane and thermal imaging equipment. The plane located a person on an island with a fire going at around 9 p.m. south of the Net Lake Campground area and west of Beldon Road in Pine County. Rescue personnel worked with the aircraft to find a way to the person through a swampy area but were unsuccessful in the dark. On Thursday morning, just after sunrise, a helicopter from the Minnesota State Patrol, with their rescue extraction team on board, located the missing hunter. The helicopter could not land on the island, but the rescue crew were able to airlift the hunter from the island using a rope and harness system. Kniefel was transported to a farm field near Nickerson where medical personnel were waiting. He was reunited with his family after getting checked by medical personnel. Kniefel, who had food and water with him, told rescuers that he had rationed his food and knew help was looking for him.

said Carson’s driving while under the influence endangered her and the public, and must be taken seriously.

In direct questioning by the judge, Carson pled guilty four times to charges of misdemeanor theft, criminal damage to property, reckless

This relationship has to be broken.” In accepting the agreement, Judge Mogen said, “In sentencing, the court needs to look at three factors: protecting the public, the nature and gravity of the offense, and the past criminal record and character of the defendant. “The court likes to see defendants take responsibility for their actions, as you are agreeing to do. “Your plan is good to stay away from this toxic individual,” she continued. “Go to AODA and domestic abuse counseling. Get gainful employment. It will keep you on the straight and narrow.” In closing, the judge once again encouraged Carson, “Stay away from Mr. Oiyotte. Get the help you need and turn things around.

driving, and of failing to install an ignition interlock as previously directed by the court. If Carson violates the terms of her probation, two of the four charges each carry a fine of not more than $10,000 and/ or imprisonment of not more than nine months. Judge Mogen warned Carson if her probation is revoked, Carson will appear before the judge for sentencing. At that time the judge would be free to review all the charges, including dismissed charges, and could sentence Carson to the maximum for each of the counts. Carson said she understood. In closing comments, Attorney Norine told the court he accepted the plea agreement because “We are getting a lot of rehabilitative conditions from the defendant in this rather large settlement of four cases.” Norine said the longer than usual two-year probation period will provide, “A huge improvement in Ms. Carson’s situation with close supervision. I think it is a well-negotiated agreement and a well-thoughtout result.” In the defense attorney’s statement to the court before sentencing, Bechtold reiterated, “Breaking contact with Robert Oiyotte is

GOVERNMENT CENTER—In an unusual court case Tuesday morning, a Burnett County woman’s four separate cases involving three misdemeanors and a felony – her fourth OWI in five years – were combined into two years of probation with lots of strings attached. District Court Judge Melissia Mogen ordered Georgiana “Jonny” Carson, 34, to: • Attend AODA and domestic violence classes; • Maintain steady and gainful employment; • Make regular restitution payments; • Get fingerprinted and provide a DNA sample to law enforcement; • Strongly encouraged her plan to stay away from former partner, Robert Oiyotte, 58, of Webster. Both Mogen and Carson’s attorney referred to Carson’s relationship with Oiyotte as “toxic.” Burnett County Attorney William Norine said Oiyotte played a role in all four of Carson’s cases and added that charges against him may be forthcoming. In a September hearing, Carson’s Attorney Fred Bechtold of Taylors Falls successfully argued “coercion” in Carson’s
pending OWI case. The arrest occurred as Carson was driving to flee Oiyotte. The arresting officer noted Carson’s facial bruises and marks around her neck indicating attempted strangulation, allegedly by Oiyotte. Judge Mogen agreed at a second September hearing to reduce the OWI charge to reckless driving forfeiture, but

method of invasive species control all around the country. To put it simply, the DNR hires a local goat herder to supply 60 goats over a one-month period that will then be fenced in on a 10-acre stretch of buckthorn infested land and the goats feed on plants. A guard dog is also used to keep the goats in the restricted area. On it’s face, goats eating away the plants seems to be good enough; however, other benefits of using mob grazing are fertilization
and scarification. The goats eat, digest (thus destroying the seeds) and fertilize the ground while also turning soil over with their hooves. While this method is environmentally friendly, it does come at a cost of approximately $730 per acre, according to the DNR. The prices of some herbicide treatments are exponentially lower (some approximately $220 per acre) but carry the weight of controversy due to chemicals. This area is not the only place looking to goats as monumental

also detected an odor of decomposition by the driver’s side front tire after removing the tire. Officers collected mud caked in that area. The oil pan was damaged and some rigid fluid lines on the driver’s side of the transmission were bent – damage consistent with a strike to the vehicle from underneath. They found several areas of what appeared to be
biological material on the vehicle undercarriage. The state crime lab reported the samples were consistent with those located at the scene. It is reported by law enforcement that Haugen admitted to a third party that he had struck Oustigoff, stating “it was an accident and he did not mean to do it,” adding he was going down the road faster than he should have been and that he ended up hitting someone.

Burnett County bird tests are positive for West Nile Virus
Burnett County school students participate in Conservation Day Wednesday, Sept. 20 was a beautiful sunny day for Webster, Siren, and Grantsburg students to attend the Annual Conservation Day for Fifth Graders. The day-long event is sponsored by the County Natural Resources Committee (NRC) and the County Land and Water Conservation Department (LWCD) at the beautiful Crex Meadows Wildlife Education and Visitor Center in Grantsburg. The day began at 9:30 a.m., when 175 students, teachers, chaperones, bus drivers, presenters and staff converged at the Center. 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 LWCD, DNR and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Topics included water quality by Conservation Planner Randy Gilbertson; Wildlife Habitat by Crex Wildlife Educator Lauren Finch; Soils and erosion by NRCS Conservationist Deanna Peterson; Trees by Forest Ranger Mark Gossman; Geology by Rock and Mineral expert John Park; Forest Fire Safety by Foresters Jim Becker and Nate Haskins; and Aquatic Invasive Species by Wild-
Protect yourself against mosquito bites
BURNETT COUNTY—The Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Public Health reports a dead bird found in Burnett County on Sept. 18 has tested positive for West Nile Virus. This is the first bird that tested positive for West Nile virus in Burnett County since surveillance for the mosquito-transmitted virus began May 1. “The positive bird means Burnett County residents need to be more vigilant in their personal protective measures to prevent mosquito bites,” said County Health Officer and Public Health Supervisor Jodi Reed. West Nile virus is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes acquire the virus by feeding on infected birds.
Steps to prevent mosquito bites
“Burnett County residents should be aware of West Nile virus and take some simple steps to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” Reed said. “The West Nile virus seems to be here to stay, so the best way to avoid the disease is to reduce exposure to and eliminate breeding grounds for mosquitoes.” The Burnett County DHHS Public Health recommends the following: • Limit time spent outside at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. • Apply insect repellent to clothing as well as exposed skin since mosquitoes may bite through clothing. • Make sure window and door screens are in good repair to prevent mosquito entry. • Properly dispose of items around your property that hold water, such as tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots, or discarded tires. • Clean roof gutters and downspouts for proper drainage. • Turn over wheelbarrows, wading pools, boats, and canoes when not in use. • Change the water in bird baths and pet dishes at least every three days. • Clean and chlorinate swimming
pools, outdoor saunas, and hot tubs; drain water from pool covers. • Trim tall grass, weeds, and vines since mosquitoes use these areas to rest during hot daylight hours. • Landscape to prevent water from pooling in low-lying areas.
Symptoms may be mild The majority of people (80 percent) who are infected with West Nile Virus do not get sick. Those who do become ill usually experience mild symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle ache, rash, and fatigue. Less than one percent of people infected with the virus get seriously ill with symptoms that include high fever, muscle weakness, stiff neck, disorientation, mental confusion, tremors, confusion, paralysis and coma. Older adults and those with compromised immune systems are at greater risk of developing central nervous system illnesses that can be fatal. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has monitored the spread of West Nile virus since 2001 among wild birds, horses, mosquitoes and people. During 2002, the state documented its first human infections and 52 cases were reported that year. During 2016, 13 cases of West Nile virus infection were reported among Wisconsin residents. West Nile virus infections in humans have been reported from June through October; however, most reported becoming ill with West Nile virus in August and September.
Report sick or dead crows, blue jays or ravens The Wisconsin Division of Public Health will continue surveillance for West Nile virus until the end of the mosquito season. To report a sick or dead crow, blue jay or raven, please call the Dead Bird Reporting Hotline at 1-800-433-1610. For more information on West Nile virus: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/communicable/ArboviralDiseases/WestNileVirus/Index. htm.

Meeting at the Bill McKenzie Lake boat landing for an interview with Nicky Ouellet, Montana Public Radio, are, left to right, are Sandy Swanson, Nicky Ouellet, Jane Willette, and Cathie Erickson.
BIG MCKENZIE LAKE—On Sept. 21, Montana Public Radio Reporter Nicky Ouellet interviewed Burnett and Washburn County residents engaged in the fight against zebra mussels. Zebra mussels were first found in Montana in 2016, the same year as they were discovered here. Nicky is on a trip to find out about impacts of zebra mussels in other states and what is being done to stop the spread.
Big McKenzie Lake The tour started at the Big McKenzie Lake where zebra mussels were first discovered last year. Joining Nicky were Cathie Erickson of Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association (WCLRA) and Wisconsin Lakes Association; Sandy Swanson, John Lofswold and Jane Willette of the McKenzie Lake Association; Ed Fischer of Spooner Lake and WCLRA; and Frank Hull of Lipsett Lake Association. The group’s conversation was recorded for a series of radio reports expected to be aired in November. Sandy Swanson told Ouellet that the McKenzie Lake area’s response to the invasion was more challenging because Big McKenzie and Middle McKenzie Lakes lie in both Burnett and Washburn counties. Public landings are in several different towns. MLA received a $20,000 Early Detection and Response Grant from the WDNR for combatting the zebra mussels.
Middle McKenzie Lake Middle McKenzie res-
ident Mike Schollmeyer has distributed 39 plate samplers, mostly on Big and Middle McKenzie. Plate samplers are simple devices that are lowered into the water for a month or more to see if any mussels attach. More mussels were found in Big McKenzie and one in Middle McKenzie. An extensive search of Big McKenzie in August by the WDNR led to the discovery additional zebra mussels. The group generally agreed that local WDNR staff, while doing a good job, is constrained by state policy and funding issues. The monitoring by watercraft inspectors is still limited mostly to weekends. Current state law prohibits controlling or limiting watercraft entering or leaving Big McKenzie. The DNR has only one hot-water, high-pressure watercraft wash station to kill mussels and their larvae for this region. Burnett County recently purchased another station using grant funds MLA equipped Big, Middle and Lower McKenzie landings with self-service wash stations using a mild bleach solution to decontaminate watercraft. Jane Willette and John Lofswold coordinated this effort. Washing of watercraft, while not required by Wisconsin law, is strongly encouraged.
setting up a self-service wash station. Last spring, Rich contacted people who move pontoons and docks to make them aware of the zebra mussel threat. He encouraged them to wash their equipment with hot water or a mild bleach spray. Lisa Burns and Dave Ferris of the Washburn and Burnett County Land & Water Conservation Departments sent letters to service providers, giving them more information on zebra mussels. Service providers who did not receive a letter should contact one of them.
Lipsett Lake At Lipsett Lake, Frank Hull described the Lipsett Lake Association’s efforts to monitor the landing, make sure that watercraft operators were aware that zebra mussels are nearby and urge them to clean their watercraft. Bob Baker of Burnett County Lakes and Rivers Association is another key player for Lippsett Lake and is a member of the Zebra Mussel management team coordinated by the WDNR.
In Chicog, Nicky and Cathie met Milly Thissen. She is responsible for setting up that Town’s Aquatic Invasive Species Committee that informs lake users and property owners about the threat of zebra mussels and what can be done to reduce it. The committee dropped plate samplers in Pear, Chicog, Matthews, McClain, North Twin and South Twin Lakes. Milly also provided plate samplers at Big Bass Lake (near Big McKenzie), Chetak, and Cumberland lakes. Nicky’s tour and interviews were coordinated by Cathie Erickson who serves on the boards of the Washburn Lakes and Rivers Association and the statewide Wisconsin Lakes Association. Cathie is an active volunteer with the McKenzie Lakes Area Zebra Mussel Management Team organized by Pamela Toshner of the Wisconsin DNR’s Spooner Office. Background on zebra mussels and local news about the effort to stop their spread can be found on wclra. org.

Over the next few months, motorists across Wisconsin will need to be especially alert for the potential of deer to dart suddenly across roadways. Traffic safety officials with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) note that deer/ vehicle crashes typically peak during October and November as bucks pursue potential mates. “The best way for motorists to protect themselves and avoid hitting a deer is to buckle up, slow down and carefully scan the road ahead,” said David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “Deer can be spotted any time of day, but are most active at dusk and dawn. And, if you see one deer cross your path, expect more to follow.” Last year, Wisconsin law enforcement agencies reported 20,413 crashes between deer and motor vehicles. Dane County had the most with 1,006, followed by Waukesha County with 871 and Washington County with 766. In Green Lake, Kewaunee, Shawano, Vernon and Waupaca counties, more than half of all reported crashes in 2016 involved deer. A county-by-county breakdown of deer/vehicle crashes in Wisconsin last year is available on the WisDOT website. “If you can’t avoid a deer in your path, the safest option is to hit the brakes and the deer,” Pabst said. “If you swerve suddenly, you can lose control and you risk a more serious collision with another vehicle or a stationary object such as a tree or utility pole.” The one exception to the “don’t swerve” recommendation applies to motorcyclists. Motorcycle drivers should slow down, brake firmly and swerve if necessary to avoid hitting the deer. Motorcyclists should try to stay within their driving lane to avoid hitting other vehicles or objects. Of the 11 deaths in deer/vehicle crashes in Wisconsin last year, all were motorcyclists.

Never Lose Hope BY HALLE PARDUN, MARKETING DIRECTOR BURNETT MEDICAL CENTER
Oct. 1–7 is Mental Illness Awareness Week, a time to shine a light on mental illness to replace stigma with hope, provide support, educate the public and advocate for equal care. Mental illness is a medical condition, but it is often surrounded by stigma or stereotypes that prevent people from getting the help they need. One in five adults experiences a mental illness in any given year. Those problems can contribute to onset of more serious long-term conditions such as major depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Approximately one-half of chronic mental illness begins by the age of 14 and three-quarters by age 24. Unfortunately, long delays – sometimes decades – often occur between the time symptoms first appear and when people get help. It is critical to learn to recognize early symptoms of mental illness and talk with a doctor about any concerns. Early identification and treatment can make a big difference for successful management of a condition. Another part of Mental Illness Awareness Week is National Depression Screening Day. It will be held on Thursday, Oct. 5. You are encouraged to take a free, anonymous and confidential questionnaire that can help you identify potential signs of depression. Take the questionnaire at http://helpyourselfhelpothers.org/ Immediately following, you will see your results, recommendations and key resources. Remember, this is educational, not diagnostic. Anyone who experiences symptoms of mental illness should see a doctor and be checked for possible related physical conditions. This information was brought to you by the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) which offers helpful information through its website www.nami.org and HelpLine (800-950-NAMI (6264).

Ariel arrived at the shelter on June 23 as a stray and was never reclaimed by her owner. She is a beautiful gray Weimaraner mix around eight years of age. We think Ariel may have had a difficult life, as when she first arrived she wasn’t ssure of herself and afraid of sudden/loud noises. The o poor girl was covered in p tticks, had sore paws and a ffew other health issues. Thanks to great care and llots of love, she has made a huge improvement and w would make an awesome c companion. Please, someb body, give this girl a chance a as she certainly deserves a Ariel happy home and environment. Did you know? October is “National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.” I have two rescue dogs and I wouldn’t have it any other way. To all of you that have rescued an animal, thank you. When you adopt a shelter animal you are actually saving the lives of two – the one you adopt and the one for whom you open the space at the shelter. We have some great dogs waiting for their forever home and family, so please consider adopting. They will be forever grateful, as will we. We have dogs Boris, Ariel, Gidget and Tasha waiting for you, and at least two more that will be available for adoption in the next couple of days. Ariel is our longest-term resident, so I will feature her again and keep my fingers crossed that she gets lucky soon. This week, dog Missy and kitten Gemini were adopted. I can’t believe we have had no applications for the other kitties including Evi, Bitzi, Aries, Aquarius and now we have a new cat available, a beautiful young female named Lee. Quote: “I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter – the castoffs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. ‘God,’ I said, ‘this is terrible!

WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
SPOONER—In cooperation with local businesses, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will collect deer heads for chronic wasting disease surveillance testing within Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties during the 2017 archery, crossbow and gun hunting seasons. Sampling will continue in the four counties in order to detect any possible outlying positive deer in the area related to the 2011 single positive deer in Shell Lake. If you harvest an adult deer within those counties, please consider submitting a sample for CWD testing. The department will also offer landowners within the Shell Lake two-mile sampling area surveillance permits to harvest adult deer of either sex for CWD testing. Landowner permits were recommended by the CWD Citizen Advisory Team to focus sampling efforts that may provide valuable information regarding the health of deer on private lands. Interested landowners within the two-mile sampling area who would like a permit or more information should call the DNR at 715-635-4025. Please contact us by Tuesday, Nov. 14 to get a permit. Participating

Wisconsin DOJ sets up website to track sex assault kit tests ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON — The state Department of Justice has set up a public website that tracks the agency’s efforts to test hundreds of untested sexual
assault evidence kits. The kits have gone unexamined for a variety of reasons. Prosecutors may have decided the case was too weak, a defendant pleaded guilty or victims decided not to cooperate. None
are connected to open cases. The DOJ is working to get victims’ permission to test the kits in hopes of developing offender DNA profiles. Attorney General Brad Schimel announced Wednes-
day that the agency has set up a website, https://wisaki.doj. wi.gov/ , dedicated to keeping the public informed about testing progress. As of Friday, the DOJ had identified 6,392 untested kits. Of them, 4,065
are currently designated for testing. Testing has been completed on 176 kits.

Tigers clip halos from Saints BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
ST. CROIX FALLS—Fueled by a stingy defense and an improving offense, the Webster Tigers surprised the St. Croix Saints on Friday night, winning by a 25-14 score. “This is one of those games where it's a 50-50 ball game and you got to go out and get it. We had a little adversity in the first half, but I’m proud of how the kids handled it,” said Tiger coach Smith. After the Tigers kicked off to begin the game, St. Croix started from their own 28, but got as far as their own 36 and were forced to punt. Webster received a short punt and began on their 42. An 11play, 58-yard drive ended with Trenton Wols crossing the line from the six. Dustin Kern's PAT was good and the Tigers were up 7-0. On their next possession, the Saints got as far as their own 45 and were again forced to punt. After a number of exchanges of possessions which went into the second quarter, the Saints started at their 35, drove downfield and scored on an Austin McCurdy four-yard run. The PAT failed, 7-6 Webster with

8:05 until halftime. The defenses of both squads held the other team scoreless and the halftime score read 7-6 for the Tigers. “Our defense did a nice job of containing a good St. Croix Falls rushing attack,” praised coach Smith. “We had a couple players get out of position on their touchdown drive in the first half and they made us pay. Coach Gauger has done a nice job with our outside linebackers this year and he was able
to coach them up at halftime; it showed in the second half.” Webster began the second half receiving the kickoff and started from their own 25. Aided by a pass from Trevor Gustafson to Brad Sigfrids, along with a defensive pass interference call, the Tigers were soon knocking on the Saints' door. Gustafson ran the ball for the score from 10 yards out at the 6:16 mark of the third quarter. The PAT was blocked. Webster 13, St. Croix 6.
The Saints ran the kickoff back to their own 41. Seven plays later, Clay Carney ran the ball in from the 10. The two point conversion was good and the Saints claimed a 14-13 edge. After a Webster punt, St. Croix was on their own 35 when the third quarter ended. The Saints punted to begin the last quarter with the Tigers starting on their own 33. A 14-play, 67-yard drive ended with Coleton Peterson receiving a five-yard pass from Gustafson for a touchdown. The two-point conversion failed, but the Tigers were back in the lead 19-14. St. Croix started their next drive on their own 16 and moved to their own 33. On an attempted pass, Trenton Wols stepped in front of the intended receiver, grabbed the pass and ran it for a 33-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion failed, but this time the Tigers were up 25-14 with 5:33 remaining in the game. On a fourth and six for the Saints, the quarterback was sacked and Webster took over on the Saints 34. From there, the Tigers ran out the clock and won the game. “On offense, they put us in some negative down and dis-
tance,” continued coach Smith, “but our players made some big plays in the second half that kept the momentum on our side. Coach Moser has spent a lot of time developing this offense to put the players in the best position to be successful in those types of situations. Our offensive line kept coming off the ball and Trevor (Gustafson) was able to get in the end zone when the plays did break down. Trenton Wols had a big pick six in the second half that put us in a good position to win the game.” Said quarterback Trevor Gustafson, “It was a good team win for us. With the playoffs coming up in a couple of weeks, it gives us some momentum. It was a really good team we played out there. They were bigger than us and we had to stop their run. We're becoming more confident in our running and passing game.” “At the beginning of the year,” concluded coach Smith, “the players set a goal to make the playoffs. They have done that and now it is time to set new goals.” The Tigers host Pepin/Alma on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m.
Tigers 'take it to the limit' with Luck BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers forced Luck to go five games before falling just short of a victory last Thursday night. The game scores were 20-25, 17-25, 25-20, 26-24, and 11-15 “This was such an exciting game!” exclaimed Tiger coach Stefanie Janssen. “The girls played their hearts out tonight on both sides of the net. I was very proud of how everyone on the team stepped up and competed. Of course, we would've liked a different outcome, but it was still a great game we can be proud of.” Game one had the Tigers out 3-0 on a kill by Taylor Howe, one of 32 she had on the night. Luck went up 8-5 and 11-7. A kill by Howe narrowed the gap to 14-12, but Luck kept the
pressure on to maintain the lead and take game one. Luck kept up a three- to four-point lead throughout this game to take this one by eight. When asked what was said in the huddle after game two, the coach said, “They just wanted it. They were so close in the first two, so they took it to them” in game three. The Tigers kept a two- or more point lead until the Cardinals tied it at eight. Neither team got more than a point or two ahead until the Tigers got a three-point advantage at 2219, the last two points coming on kills by Howe. Webster kept up the pressure and gained game three for their first win of the night. The Tigers and Cards were even in the fourth game until Webster got an 8-4 advantage and built it to 12-7 on a short return by Luck. Even after

a time out by the Cardinals, Webster kept a three- or fourpoint advantage until Luck knotted the score at 24. A short return and a Webster kill ended the fourth round, tying the contest at two apiece. Luck moved out to a 3-1 edge, extending it to 11-5. But the Tigers dug in and clawed back, forcing Luck into committing wide or short returns, making the score 13-8. Webster got as close at 14-11 on a net violation by the Cardinals, but a short return by Webster ended the game and match. Howe had 32 kills on the night along with three blocks and 10 digs. Summer Winkler had 10 kills, three aces and 13 digs. Skyler Winkler dug 15 times. Hannah Janssen assisted 15 times and got one block.

Same team
As I sit down to write this, the world is burning. Deadly hurricanes, a horrific mass shooting, vitriolic politicians, inciteful social commentators, kneeling millionaires, and racial tensions all provide background to the darkest social landscape of my lifetime, and I wonder if there’s ever been a time like this in American history. Everyone, it seems, is in a state of cynicism, offendedness, and snap judgments. We don’t wait for facts. We have our own personal narrative that we want things to fit into and we’re willing to Inside the bend what facts we do know and somehow jam into our worldview. Huddle We don’t listen. We take to social Bob Rombach media and just yell. Whine. Blame. Berate. Judge. Degrade. We think anyone with a different opinion than us must be a form of evil. They are not evil. They are our neighbors. They are the ones trying to do the best they can with what they have. Our kids are in choir together. We pay our phone bill to the same company. We both jump at an unexpected thunderclap. And, neither of us have it all figured out. Evil is a man who brings an arsenal of automatic weapons to a hotel room and fires them into a crowd of people at a concert. Evil is a man who leads a movement to extinguish an entire race of people. Evil is someone who opens fire in a gay bar, theater or school campus. Evil is someone who takes a truck and plows it into a crowded festival. Your neighbor thinks differently than you. Since when is that a problem? Since when can’t we love our neighbor because they voted for Trump, or because they have an Obama bumper sticker on their car? What is going on? We have replaced unity with suspicion, love with skepticism. This problem is a moral problem, not a legislative one. We must see each other as brothers and sisters, not as the enemy. Sentinel editor, Sean Devlin, wrote a great column in last week’s paper about this as well. I encourage you to read it again, or for the first time if you haven’t yet. Stop believing the hype and the media when they insist it’s you against everyone else. It’s not that way. Listen to your neighbor. Listening is not the same as agreeing. Do I agree with kneeling during the National Anthem? Absolutely not. I feel like it’s completely disrespectful. Do I want to understand why they’re kneeling? Yes! I don’t get it and I want to understand. Am I squishy now? Am I spineless? Am I a fool? No. If my neighbor is hurting, even if I don’t get it or if I think it’s ridiculous, I’m still going to try and empathize. Isn’t that the way it should be? One of the things I love most about our communities, and presumably most communities have this, is that when you’re sitting alongside your neighbor in the stands wearing Siren green, Grantsburg purple, or Webster orange, you don’t care about who she voted for, what his stance on illegal immigration is, or if she hugs trees in her spare time. You are united in your desire to see the kids do well, that your hometown team would win or put on a good show. You can disagree on how you think the team should go about doing that, but ultimately you both want the team to succeed. I suggest we watch those kids perform on the field or court. They all come from diverse backgrounds and different worldviews, but look at them. Working together for a goal. Celebrating success. Helping each other when one falls. Executing the coach’s game plan - together. At its best, high school sports model what we can be as a society. After all, don’t we all want our kids and grandkids to do well, be safe and live a long prosperous life? Don’t we all want peace at home and abroad? Are we going to differ in how we think it should work? Of course. Is someone with a different idea than me un-American or unpatriotic? Of course not! Proverbs 12:15 says it this way, “Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others.” Let’s aim for wisdom. Let’s strive for unity. Let’s listen to each other. Let’s respect each other. We are on the same team.

Loggers stop Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
PHILLIPS—The Phillips Loggers defeated the Siren Dragons last Friday night 49-14. “We didn't play well,” lamented coach Ryan Karsten. “It was a close first half, down 21-14 at the half. We lost 49-14. They are a school with 100 more kids than us. Their depth wore us down in the second half.” Phillips scored twice in the first quarter, on a 60-yard touchdown pass and by a 27-yard interception returned for a touchdown.
Jordan Webster threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Trevor Stanford early in quarter two. He also threw one to Dolon Highstrom, 64 yards, late in the quarter. Sandwiched in between the two Siren scores was a five-yard run for the Loggers. At the half it was 21-14 for Phillips. There was no score in the third period of play, but Phillips scored four touchdowns in the last quarter to seal the win. Tanner Buck rushed 13 times for 71 yards, Tyler Anton eight for 16 yards, and Logan Meagher eight
times for 32 yards. Dolon Highstrom had one reception for 59 yards and a score, Trevor Stanford two for 51 yards and a score, and Noah Koball caught one for 11 yards. Jordan Webster passed 14 times, completed three for 121 yards and two touchdowns. “We move on and have Butternut/Mercer here Friday night for Family and Senior Night.

Pirate boys second at St. Croix Invite BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
ST. CROIX FALLS—“Thursday night was a small meet,” reported Pirate cross country coach Lisa McKinley. “It was a great opportunity to highlight the training these athletes have put in through the season. It was a fast course and many course, season, and career pr's were broken. I am delighted for the runners to be growing and seeing results for their efforts.” The boys came in second place behind Unity. Joey Duncan was third overall with a time of 17:46. Joseph Ohnstad was seventh with an 18:41 time and Jared Lee was right behind at 19:01. Theodore Vitale, Trevor Vollendorf and Cole Reichstadt finished out the Grantsburg contingent with times of 19:35, 20:20 and, 21:16 respectively. For the girls, Gracie Gerber placed third (21:57), with Savanna Trittelwitz eighth (23:50), Mirlande Brande tenth (24:17), and Hope McKinley at 26:54. After participating at the Amery meet on Tuesday, Grantsburg will prepare for the Conference Meet Oct. 10 at Shell Lake.
Tiger boys third, girls fourth at Ladysmith LADYSMITH—“The Tigers ran well tonight at Ladysmith,” said Webster cross country coach Roy Ward. “It was the first time we have gone there. Traditionally, we would go to Saint Croix Falls. The weather was much more pleasant than Saturday's hot and humid conditions. There was about a 20 minute delay for the high school boys race when it started raining and there was a threat from lightning. The course was two laps for the high school and one for the middle school. It was very spectator friendly and athletes gave it a thumbs up. I think they liked being able to see their teammates on the course as well.” “Keeping with the theme of the week and running for others, I asked the high school to pack up and run together for the first mile. I wanted them to encourage each other and run for someone else like we will do Friday. Sydney Raschke ran a personal best time of 24:30. Ali Moritz and Jenna Gomulak packed up and ran together. They both pr'd. It was Alexis Symond who ran out of her head. She was 2:21 minutes faster than her previous best. I saw her with a half mile to go and I was so excited
for her. She had a determined finish and pushed her pace the entire race. I saw a saying I liked on a Nike item that said, "Finish on Empty". “The boys also did a nice job running as packs. Kerik Stubbe was 16 seconds off of running a negative split. It was a personal best race for him. He really separated himself from Dustin Kern, Landon Malsom and Edwin Janssen. There were some big improvements today. Trent Gustafson ran his best time by over a minute and half. So many people I talk to would love to run a 28:27 5K. Landon is ridiculous lately. He shaved a minute 49 seconds off his personal best finishing one second behind Dustin with a time of 21:34. He went out a little too hard, but was able to hang on. Danny Ingalls finished shaving the most time off his previous best race. He ran just over 25 minutes when he is normally around 27. Lastly, Sam Smith has so much more in the tank. He is a natural runner. He makes it look effortless and still managed to take 1:52 off his personal best time. One more practice run before Conference.” STACY COY | SENTINEL

Tigers fall to Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—Despite grabbing an early lead in the first set, the Webster Tigers were unable to overcome a solid Grantsburg Pirate squad, falling 0-3 on Tuesday (Sept. 26). In the first set, the Tigers’ Taylor Howe led her team to a 10-6 lead with her high-powered hits before the Pirates called a time out to regroup. Grantsburg battled back, knotting it up at 14-14 before taking a 25-18 win. The two teams traded points back and forth in the second set, before Grantsburg took control winning 25-20. The Pirates finished the night with a 25-15 win in the third set. Both teams played impressive scrappy defense, hustling to make sure the ball did not hit the floor. Volleyball fans were treated to some incredible volleys with big hits and diving saves. “Our offense was rocket fire as our hitters committed only nine errors,” Pirates
coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “We hit .295 as a team. Not bad, but not fabulous because Webster played very good defense and dug a lot of tough balls. We had a few big digs of our own when Randi Siebenthal and Jenna McNally were able to stop the thunder arm of Taylor Howe.” Olivia Ohnstad led the charge with 14 kills for the night. Randi Siebenthal and Brooke Quimby had seven kills each, followed by Kenna Johnson with six, Linda Harmon with four and Olivia Brock with three. Charli Siebenthal was the assist leader with 19 with Olivia Oachs adding 13. On defense, Jenna McNally had 18 digs with Randi Siebenthal next on the list with 11. Quimby and Johnson led the team in blocks with three each, with Ohnstad putting up two. “Olivia Brock had a breakout performance with solid swings,” Allaman-Johnson added. “Linda Harmon hit a lot of balls with authority, even though there were several great saves and digs on her attack. Kaitlin Olson served tough

ST. CROIX FALLS—The St. Croix Saints volleyballs squad defeated the Siren Dragons last Tuesday night by a 3-0 margin. The game scores were 25-9, 25-23 and 25-16. “We were making some basic mistakes, like serving,” said Dragon coach Kristin Kosloski. “We played well in game two, it's what we're capable of doing. We've just got to clean things up.” St. Croix jumped off to a 5-0 lead before the Dragons got their first point on a short service attempt. The margin was extended to 12-3 when Siren got a kill. The Dragons got no closer than 12 after that time. In game two, the Dragons fell behind 3-0 before a long return gained them a point. From there, Siren knotted the
game at four on a short return by the Saints. Siren got a kill to keep the score tied, this time at seven, and later a tap by Abby Kosloski knotted the game at 12. The Saints moved up to a 17-14 margin, but Siren battled back to tie it at 17 and go ahead to 20-17. St. Croix forced some Siren errors, coming back to tie the game at 23. A Saint kill and a wide return ended the second game. Game three saw St. Croix move out to a 10-2 advantage, but the Dragons couldn't get any momentum going, getting no closer than seven at 18-11. The Saints took game three. The Dragons will have hosted Frederic on Tuesday, will go to Grantsburg on Thursday, and will host Luck next Tuesday. All varsity games begin at 7:15 p.m.

Kenna Johnson led the offensive attack with seven kills on the night. Linda Harmon had four, followed by Olivia Ohnstad with three. Rachel Tooze and Randi Siebenthal had two kills each.

Gray won with a time of 1:10:11, with Grunewald, 31, at 1:10:51. No stranger to the top step on the podium, Gray has amassed

pionship award. “I really dug the course, there was awesome energy. It was well marked and we had lots of enthusiasm from spectators along the way. It was a great day. All running and trekking
events took place on the scenic and rolling hills of the Birkie Trail and single-track sections of the CAMBA (Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association) trail system. The festival was rounded out with live mu-
sic, great food, Birkie Brew-Ski craft beer, CXC experiential truck, and the Dive for the Dirt obstacle course for kids. The 2018 Birkie Trail Run Festival is slated for Sept. 29, 2018.

Tiger Manufacturing working hard A Haas CNC Mini Mill became the newest additon of the Tiger shop this past summer and the students are now being trained to use it. “To put it simply, it makes chips,” said Roy Ward. See the July 19 edtion of the Sentinel for a full article. “Up until [recently], the students were contained to the classroom. They have been learning to design parts and program toolpath in Mastercam and one 3D model on SolidWorks. We are learning the foreign language (G and M codes) of a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine. We took 32 kids on field trip to Productivity, where we purchased our Haas Mini Mill. They are applying math with print reading, speeds and feeds, and reading micrometers and calipers for inspection. The class periods fly.” - Roy Ward, Technical Education

Rev. Marilyn CrossďŹ eld First Lutheran and Laketown Lutheran Parish
Jesus said to them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I Am.â&#x20AC;? John 8:58 This past Sunday our parish talked about the story of Moses, when God revealed Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self as the I Am. We talked about how God came to Moses to be a leader and Moses tried to tell God that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualified. How often do we feel inadequate? Like we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to offer? I was thinking of this as I woke to the news of another tragedy. What can I possible do? How can I make a difference? But that is what we are
called to do, we are called to be the difference. Jesus gave us the greatest command. We are to love one another (John 13:34-35). We are called to reflect Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love, to reflect the I Am in the world. We do not do that alone, just as Moses was not alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live anywhere near the tragedy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much to give.â&#x20AC;? Then, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s think outside the box. Jesus calls us to live out love where we are. So what are ways we can respond in our community? Maybe we take time to let our First Responders

We could see those who are in need and overlooked in our community and find ways to let them know they are seen, they are important. The list goes on. The best way to act in the face of tragedy and evil is with a movement of love. May the Spirit move us to shine Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light and fill our community with Love.

How can women make mammograms more comfortable? Mammograms help to detect breast cancer early, improving women’s prognosis as a result. Susan G. Komen states that mammography is the most effective breast cancer screening tool in use today. When women should begin getting mammograms remains open to debate. The American Cancer Society now recommends that women between the ages of 45 and 54 receive annual mammograms. Despite the benefits of mammograms, many women avoid them out of fear of the pain and discomfort associated with the procedure. Researchers are examining how much pressure mammogram machines need to apply to get accurate breast images. Until widespread customized mammograms are offered, women can take various steps to reduce the amount of discomfort they feel while undergoing these important screening procedures. • Apply a topical numbing gel. BreastCancer.org says a study found that applying a numbing gel an hour before having a mammogram resulted in less discomfort when compared to placebo and other pain-reduction techniques. Be sure to discuss application of the gel with your physician prior to your

procedure. • Schedule your procedure for the right time. Do not schedule a mammogram right before or during a menstrual cycle, when breasts already are very tender due to hormonal changes. Waiting until seven to 14 days after a period is a better bet.
DID YOU KNOW? Men have a small amount of breast tissue, and that means they can be affected by breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, men’s breast tissue has ducts, but only few, if any, lobules. That’s because men do not have enough female hormones to promote the growth of breast cells. Breast cancer can be separated into several types based on what the can-
cer cells look like under the microscope. They can be in-situ, meaning non-invasive or pre-invasive. They also may be invasive types that have spread to the ducts in the breast tissue. Breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women. Only about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men this year. But, men who feel lumps or other anomalies in the area around the nipple should consult their physicians.
According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer survival rates vary greatly worldwide. While survival rates range from 80 percent or better in North America and countries such as Sweden and Japan, those figures drop to roughly 60 percent in middle-income countries. Low-income countries fare the worst, with survival rates below 40 percent. The WHO attributes the low survival rates in low-income countries to inadequate diagnosis and treatment facilities and the lack
of early detection programs. Early detection is often essential when battling breast cancer, as late-stage survival rates are low regardless of where a person lives. For example, the American Cancer Society notes that, in the United States, the fiveyear relative survival rate for breast cancers detected in their earliest stages (often referred to as “stage 0” or “stage I”) is 100 percent. The five-year relative survival rate in the United States is considerably lower for stage IV breast cancers, at right around 22 percent.

• Take pain relief pills. A physician may suggest taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen prior to the appointment to reduce discomfort before and after the procedure. • Speak with the technician. Women can express their concerns about pain to the mammogram technician, who might suggest various ways to minimize discomfort. • Learn about padding. Find an imaging center that uses padding on mammogram plates. MammoPad is a soft, white, single-use foam pad that is invisible to X-rays. • Avoid caffeine. Some women find that caffeine contributes to breast tenderness. Avoid caffeine the week before the procedure. Mammograms are an important healthcare tool. Reducing discomfort may encourage women to follow guidelines regarding mammograms more closely.
Can’t seem to find the time for that mammogram? Because early detection is the best protection against breast cancer,
timing is everything Don’t delay, schedule your mammogram today. 715-463-7292.

Understanding inflammatory breast cancer Many women know that a lump, pain or some other abnormality in the breast may be indicative of breast cancer. But a rash, redness or swelling may also be linked to a rare form of breast cancer known as inflammatory breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer, or IBC, accounts for roughly one to five percent of all breast cancers in the United States. The symptoms of IBC can differ from symptoms of other forms of breast cancer, and a rash-like appearance may be part of it, according to Healthline. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. says IBC is a fast-growing breast cancer that infiltrates the skin and lymph vessels of the breast. When IBC is present, no distinct tumor or lump can be felt and isolated in the breast. Instead, earlier symptoms include
a rash or small irritation that may be mistaken for an insect bite. Over time, the irritation can become more red, swollen and warm. Other changes to the breast skin may occur, including nipple inversion or flattening, a pitted appearance to the skin or dimpling. This dimpling is caused by a buildup of fluid in the breast that’s due to cancer cells blocking the lymph vessels. This prevents the fluid from draining normally. IBC is a very fast-moving cancer. By the time symptoms are discovered, IBC may already have advanced to Stage 3, necessitating aggressive treatment. This usually includes a combination of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone treatments. Breast cancer comes in many different forms and can present in various ways. Never overlook any abnormality on or around the breast.

While certain breast cancer risk factors including gender and age are beyond women’s control, the American Cancer Society notes that certain factors are related to personal behaviors. Alcohol consumption is one such lifestyle-related risk factor for breast cancer. Compared with nondrinkers, women who consume between two and five alcoholic drinks per day have about a 1.5 times greater risk of developing breast cancer than women who abstain from alcohol. A woman’s risk of developing breast cancer increases only slightly compared to nondrinkers if she has just one alcoholic beverage per day. Weight is another breast cancer risk factor that women can control. Women who are overweight or obese have a greater risk of developing breast cancer than those who are not. Prior to menopause, womens’ ovaries make most of their estrogen, with fat tissue making just a small amount. But womens’ ovaries stop making estrogen when they enter menopause, at which time fat tissue produces most of their estrogen. Having excessive fat tissue can increase estrogen levels and raise a woman’s risk for breast cancer. If or when a woman decides to have children can also affect her risk for breast cancer. According to the ACS, women who have not had children or who had their first child after turning 30 have a slightly higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer than women who had many pregnancies and became pregnant at an early age.
