Charges ﬁled in tavern burglary

Possible drug OD sends 4 students to hospitals BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GOVERNMENT CENTER—The first of what Sheriff Ron Wilhelm said may be “multiple charges against several individuals” in the recent spate of Burnett County burglaries were filed on Oct. 18 in Burnett County Circuit Court. In two cases, Alan J. Schwartzbauer, 27, of Grantsburg was charged for an attempted early morning break-in on Oct. 3 at the Midtown Tavern on Highway 35 north of Siren, and Schwartzbauer with an early morning break-in on Oct. 3 at the Last Call Bar-N-Grill on State Road 70 east of Siren. Charges against Schwartzbauer in the alleged Last Call break-in are burglary; theft of property or cash between $5-10,000; possession of burglary tools; and criminal damage to property. The property damage charge is a Class A Misdemeanor. The three other charges are felonies, each with fines ranging from $10-25,000 and each with imprisonment ranging from six to 12 years. Schwartzbauer also received four counts of felony bail jumping, one for each of the above-listed charges, because he had previously been released from custody on bond in another case, but failed

Siren chief wants school officer JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN— Chief Chris Sybers made an appearance at the Siren School Board meeting on Monday night to ask the board to put a liaison officer in the school. Last week, four students possibly overdosed from a prescription drug. On Monday, a student had a panic attack that required a police and ambulance

call to the school. “I want to start a dialogue for this and get something working,” Sybers said. “If this continues, it makes sense having an officer in the school for about four hours every day.” Siren School Board member Mark Pettis said the school needs all the able-bodied help it can get to protect SEE SIREN, PAGE 6

SIREN—Four juveniles were taken from Siren High School by ambulances to Spooner and Grantsburg hospitals Thursday morning for possible prescription drug overdose, according to Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers. The four students have not been identified by name, age or gender. Two North Memorial ambulances took three students to Spooner Medical Center. The other North ambulance took one student to Burnett Medical Center. All were conscious upon arrival and were held for observation, then released to a parent or guardian later Thursday. A subsequent seach of a residence in Siren village resulted in the arrest of one adult for illegal activity, including outstanding warrants and possession of illegal substances. Siren

Police Department, St. Croix Tribal Police Department and Burnett County Sheriff’s Department participated. Siren Police Department’s first officer at the scene arrived at about 8:30 a.m. after being summoned by a school employee. A student had expressed concern of possibly having an overdose. The Siren officer observed another student staggering and leaning against a wall, and officers were told of two other students who had also consumed the substance. A second ambulance was called at 9:04 a.m. and a third ambulance shortly afterward. All ambulances departed for hospitals by 9:30 a.m. Chief Sybers said some type of intervention will be conducted with the four youths, but it was uncertain whether that would include criminal charges. His department will continue to investigate.

Falling tree limb kills man TOWN OF ANDERSON— In the early hours of Monday morning, Oct. 23, law enforcement and fire department searchers discovered the body of Raymond Granquist, 69, of Grantsburg in a wooded area on his property about one half mile southwest of his home eight miles south of Grantsburg. A news release from Burnett County Chief Deputy Scott M. Burns said their initial investigation indicates Granquist was using a tractor to pull down a dead tree when a large limb broke and landed on him. Burnett County Medical Examiner Mike Maloney pronounced Granquist dead at the scene. At 7:50 p.m. Sunday, Oct.

22, the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a missing person in the area of East River Road southwest of Oeltjen Road. Family members stated Granquist was last seen at about 4:15 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Burnett County Deputies and a K9 unit, along with Grantsburg Fire Department personnel, searched the area. The Barron County Sheriff’s Office provided assistance using an unmanned aerial device (drone) with night vision capability. His body was found at 4:25 a.m. No other information is being released at this time.

SIREN—A Siren woman was arrested Friday morning on charges of falsely claiming her ex-husband was going to commit suicide by jumping into Clear Lake. Later, when he returned home on his own, she was charged after assaulting him by squeezing her hands around his neck. Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers said the ex-husband had left the home they shared, which upset her, so she made up the story that he had jumped into the lake. Larson Stefanie L. Larson, 42, made the 9-1-1 call at 7 a.m. Friday. Six officers from Siren Police Department and Burnett County Sheriff’s Department responded, along with Siren Fire Deparment members. The officers searched the lake from the shore and firemen went out on the lake in an inflatable raft. Larson was charged with Disorderly Conduct, Obstrucing an Investigation, a probation violation and Domestic Assault. She is being held in Burnett County Jail. Steve Briggs, Sentinel

Rep. Sean Duffy holds ‘town hall’ at Grantsburg BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—U.S. Congressman Sean Duffy (R-Wausau) held a wide-ranging, one-hour Town Hall meeting Friday afternoon at the American Legion Hall in Grantsburg. The meeting was not widely publicized and attended by about 25 Burnett County residents including several who are active in the county’s Republican Party. Born in Hayward, Duffy has represented Wisconsin’s U.S. Congressional District Seven since January of 2011. The district includes all or some of 21 counties in the top 1/3 of the state. Duffy and his wife, Rachel Campos Duffy, were married in 1999 and are parents of eight children. Duffy prides himself in making the annual effort to hold at least one town hall in each of the counties he represents, and says he does a better job of

that than 98 percent of his colleague. He chided the state’s senators (one a Republican and the other a Democrat) for ducking the sometimes vitriolic public meetings as voters vent.

Sheriff Ron Wilhelm. Duffy opened by thanking everyone for standing for the pledge. “We never used to have to say that,” he said. Duffy opened the floor to questions and ducked none. He responded to personal concerns including a county homeowner whose home insurance was abruptly canceled after he installed an external wood-burning furnace. Duffy also took questions on national matters including disasters, mass shootings, immigrations and “draining the swamp.” He also fielded international concerns including North Korea and Iran.

“Draining the Swamp” Duffy said, “The sump pumps don’t always work. It’s incredibly frustrating.” He is pleased with the actions of his colleagues in the House, but is frustrated by lack of progress in the Senate. “It (Senate) is mind-numbingly dysfunctional and slow. I am very grateful to have the honor to serve you and this district, but as the father of eight kids, it’s hard to be away from the family when I am in Washington. You miss a lot of stuff because you think you can make a difference. But when things

don’t happen, it’s becomes demoralizing. “Every Senator has an ego and thinks they are the smartest person this earth has been blessed with. The other problem is many who feel they can only vote for something if they get 100 percent of what they want. Both sides have that attitude, and watchdog groups are rating liberals and conservatives to make sure they vote 100 percent on their pet issues.”

Hurricanes and ﬂooding Duffy said in flood-prone areas, some homes have been flooded two or three times and yet are still federally insured. He contends it would save the taxpayer money to buy the houses, move those families to higher ground and vacate the flood plains, but the opposition is strong. In some cases the federal government has already paid for flooded home replacement twice, which Duffy says should be the limit and then they are kicked out of the federal disaster program. “These are usually poor families living in flood-prone areas. Continuing to replace their homes risks their lives and that of the rescue squads. Sometimes, government programs are just really dumb,” he said, and sometimes, he added, “conservatives are guilty of leading the swamp.” SEE DUFFY, PAGE 8

A little about me

Hello Burnett County! (Spinal Tap) So, I’m new here. An implant from Milwaukee. I’m a fat guy with marvelous skills in the way of sarcasm. A little about myself – I love writing and reading. Also, I have an unhealthy obsession with The Simpsons (It’s three years older than me — like an older brother who tells you about dirty words and explains how parents aren’t to be trusted.) I was born and raised in MilwauSentinel kee and went through the pubescent years in a small suburb 10 Editor minutes up the road, but the places Jonathan Richie and people were very different. My two brothers (I’m in the middle, like bologna in a sandwich) and I were mostly raised by our mother and I’m the proud fun uncle to a niece (three years old) and a nephew (almost five months). As the middle brother I’ve taken on the classic traits – full of anxiety and early-on people-pleaser, thanks Dr. Leman. My city friends told me to use this first column as a 450-word Tinder-type “about me” section. That would indeed be an impossible task, hoping 15,000 people would swipe right. Few people are that photogenic. I have a very self-deprecating personality. Early in life I attempted my hand at stand-up comedy. Most of my sets were done at open mics with five friends I dragged there, a bunch of Dave Matthews wannabes and my mom. Why am I writing this? I’ll be covering a plethora of topics on a weekly basis for the Sentinel and I really don’t want to use this space as a pulpit (well at least not yet.) My favorite thing in life is music, particularly rock ‘n’ roll. To paraphrase the late Tom Petty, it has to have the roll so it swings. The Beatles are my favorite band and the John Coltrane Quartet is the greatest group of musicians ever assembled (A Love Supreme). As for musicians that are still working (or alive for that matter), I’ll listen to anything Jack White, Cage the Elephant, Vampire Weekend, and a funky jazz band – Lettuce. I studied at UW-Green Bay and then UW-Milwaukee, where I graduated with a major in journalism and history. The latter should have informed me the former was going to be a tough road. To be honest, I’m new at this. There is no way we’ll agree on everything, mostly because we’re humans and partially because of the world we live in. Also, it’d be weird if you (yes, you reading these words right now, nobody but you) and I agreed on all subjects. As I mentioned, I’m new here. Not to reporting, but to NW Wisconsin and Burnett County. Let me know what you know. If you want me to look into something or check in on an issue, let me know. I cannot pretend to be an expert, that would be an insult to us both. It’s easy to contact to me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

I’m a luteﬁsk survivor Full disclosure: I am a very picky eater. Pickles? Won’t eat ‘em, don’t have their juices spilling on my other food. Olives? Green or black – they’re disgusting. Cabbage? No thanks. Fish? I suffered through Lent for decades and would rather not have anything to do with anything that comes From the Publisher’s from the water. So when my Desk Norwegian boss asked me to attend Tom Stangl a lutefisk dinner, i my reaction. you can iimagine “I’d be happy to,” I said, after I was reassured by his wife that they served meatballs and mashed potatoes as well. The Friday before the Sunday dinner, the boss called to make sure I could and would still go to the dinner. “Yes, we’re still on,” I replied. In the five years since moving from Iowa, I have heard a lot of lutefisk stories. The Norwegian people I have met have had a sense of gallows humor about the fish dish that is both funny and disturbing. The big day came and my boss

was pleasantly surprised to see me when he picked my wife and I up for the dinner. “You’re sure you are feeling up to this?” he asked, noting that he has made several dates to go eat lutefisk with people only to have them “fall ill” the day of the dinner. I figured we were all in, and went to the church, where we met a lot of very nice people. The meal was served family style, and our little group sat with three other people who were soon friends. When it was learned that this was my first time with lutefisk, the good natured ribbing began. “You can tell your relatives that they can skip the embalming when you die,” one of them said. The nice ladies began placing the dishes on our table, which we passed, counter clockwise. If it was truly family style, we would be passing both ways at the same time. Homemade mashed potatoes? Yes, please. Green beans? Yes, thank you. Meatballs in gravy? Lovely, I’ll take a couple servings. Lefse? Sure. Butter and brown sugar on it? I can do that. What came next had me doing a figurative and literal gut check. Lutefisk in all of its translucent and gelatinous glory. The fish kept

moving after the plate was place in front of me. Time to man up. There was a small piece that had sloughed off from the remainder, about the size of a deck of cards. Wait, don’t nutritionists tell us that the serving size should be about the size of a deck of cards? It was perfect. I spooned the wiggly portion on to my plate and passed it along. Drawn butter for your lutefisk? Sure. Cream sauce? Why not. It was tender, but hard to spear, what with all the jiggling. I landed it on my fork and took a bite. The texture was strange and I quickly decided it was best not to do too much chewing. Bite and swallow, hope for the best and please, Lord let me keep it down… I am happy to report that I kept it down. Soon it was all over and time for dessert.

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.

Law enforcement backs standards for handling body camera videos BY WISPOLITICS.COM

Law enforcement officers have lined up in support of a bill laying out standards for handling video from body cameras, saying it would protect privacy while encouraging more departments to use the technology. But, media and free speech advocates worried the bill’s language is too restrictive and called on lawmakers to retool it to make footage more readily available. Under Rep. Jesse Kremer’s bill, law enforcement would be able to release body camera footage only in cases of a death, alleged physical injury, custodial arrest or a search during a temporary questioning. Additionally, victims and witnesses would also need to sign off on the release of the footage if it occurs in a location “with an expectation of privacy,” including homes and apartments, prior to it being handed over to those who request it. Kremer, R-Kewaskum, told Assembly Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee members at an Oct. 5 hearing that the language helps protect the public from the “thin ice” new technological developments have “placed us on” in terms of Fourth Amendment protections. “The release of virtually every video requested by the media or the public can create a chilling effect for tipsters, victims and the public if there is concern that their face or the inside of their home may be displayed on the evening news,” he said. Dane County Sheriff David Mahoney said the bill would help law enforcement agencies that currently don’t have any written policies on body cameras, which leaves “many gray areas around how footage that can be highly personal for victims can be treated.” Mahoney noted while his county board has signed off on buying body

cameras for all his deputies, he said he wouldn’t approve implementation of the technology until protections like those outlined in the bill were in place. Blue Mound Police Chief Andrew Rose agreed. At his smaller agency, he noted there was some hesitation surrounding the cost of the body cameras and storing the footage. “Everyone wants body cameras, but the biggest thing is the record retention time, how much storage, the cost,” he said. “This bill helps us define what we need to do and helps us in budgeting and planning.” While media and free speech representatives said they supported consistent statewide policies on body cameras, they stressed the need for less burdensome procedures surrounding the release of footage. Freedom of Information Council President Bill Lueders said the wording could jeopardize the public’s right to know about the “actions of police in certain critical situations.” And, he questioned the wisdom of getting permission from all witnesses and victims in the case of a police encounter at something like a college fraternity party, where there could be dozens of people captured in the footage. Kyle Geissler, Wisconsin Broadcasters Association director of operations and public affairs, agreed, calling that process “cumbersome and inefficient.” Lueders also argued that it should be possible for someone requesting body camera footage to “make the argument that the video should be released even if you can’t track down every single person.” Rep. André Jacque, R-De Pere, said he could agree with the idea to “perhaps give additional discretion to law enforcement in terms of what can be released.”

MILWAUKEE—The defaulted loans by Kestrel Aircraft should serve as a cautionary tale as Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) negotiates with Foxconn for the most massive taxpayer-backed corporate incentive deal in U.S. history. Just days after announcing an “unspecified problem” with the contract to bring Foxconn to Wisconsin, another problem came to light and was described by one lawmaker as a “nuclear bomb” that would have left taxpayers completely unprotected. The state is threatening legal action against aviation company Kestrel Aircraft for defaulting on its loan payments. To date, Kestrel Aircraft still owes the state more than $3.4 million. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andy Gronik said Monday, “The inability of Gov. Walker and his administration to negotiate good economic development deals on behalf of Wisconsin is costing taxpayers mightily. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation should release the full details of the Foxconn contract to make sure the governor isn’t making a $3 billion mistake this time around.” In 2012, Gov. Walker announced a $20 million award for Kestrel Aircraft, an aviation start-up which promised to create more than 650 jobs and invest more than $50 million in the state.

Plan Perfect the

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker plans to launch his campaign for a third term on Nov. 5 at a manufacturing facility in Waukesha. Walker’s campaign announced Thursday that he will hold an event at Weldall Manufacturing to officially begin his campaign. Walker was just there last month with Vice President Mike Pence who met with employees

to tout the Republican tax overhaul plan. Walker plans to follow the campaign kick-off with a series of a dozen events across the state that week. Roughly a dozen Democrats have either launched their campaigns, or are considering running, to challenge Walker. The primary is in August and the election is one year and a day after Walker’s Nov. 5 launch.

WISCONSIN BRIEFS Walker to launch re-election campaign Nov. 5 in Waukesha

Now five years later, Kestrel Aircraft has defaulted on its loan repayments after investing $1.4 million and creating only 25 jobs. WEDC says it is initiating legal action against the company. As the state now plans to take legal action against the company, Gronik says it serves as a cautionary tale of how putting politics ahead of sound economic development can leave taxpayers on the hook for significant sums down the road. “We already know that even under the rosiest projections, taxpayers won’t begin to be repaid from Foxconn for 25 years. “If Scott Walker and WEDC make a $3 billion mistake with Foxconn, it will be even longer before the taxpayers are made whole. That’s just a bad deal for the taxpayers and will serve as an anchor around the neck of our state for years to come,” said Gronik. “There simply needs to be more transparency around this deal. WEDC needs to release the full details of the Foxconn contract before a vote, and hold a public session for feedback from Wisconsinites. Economic development is too crucial for families in every corner of the state to treat it as a political tool. “If we’re going to do deals of this magnitude, let’s make sure we do them correctly.”

BURGLARIES: Schwartzbauer arrested CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

to comply with the bondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terms by allegedly committing new crimes. At the Midtown Tavern, charges against Schwartzbauer are attempted burglary, possession of burglary tools; criminal damage to property and three additional counts of felony bail jumping.

Large amount of $5 bills The sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department had alerted businesses to watch for persons paying for items with many $5 bills. On Oct. 4, the day after the Last Call break-in, Burnett County Detective Tracy Finch spoke with a clerk at Minit Mart in Grantsburg, who confirmed that Alan Schwartzbauer was in the store between 11 a.m. and noon on Oct. 3 and had paid for $90 worth of merchandise with five dollar bills. The clerk said he had a female with him and he was driving â&#x20AC;&#x153;a big white pickup with bold colored graphics on the side.â&#x20AC;? The Minit Mart management offered its video for the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review. Burnett County Deputy Steve Sacharski was dispatched to the store to view and document the video. The video allegedly showed Schwartzbauer pulling into the store lot in a Chevy pickup with graphics on the sides and hood. A female exited the truck first and entered the store. Sacharski photographed the video camera view of the vehicle, and the female coming in the store, as well as Schwartzbauer exiting the vehicle and entering the store a short time later. The two shopped for a while and then checked out.

Uncharged accomplice Two days later, on Oct. 6, Burnett County Detective Julie Mead interviewed a man in the booking room at Polk County Jail. The man may be a potential Schwartzbauer accomplice. A Polk County open case number was assigned, but no charges are specified. During the interview with Detective Mead, the man stated that sometime within the last month he provided a ride to Alan Schwartzbauer and a woman accompanying him, both riding in the back seat. The manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend also was a passenger,

riding in the front seat. He stated that between 1-4 a.m. on Oct. 3, he dropped Schwartzbauer off at the Midtown Tavern. Schwartzbauer called him a couple minutes later to come and pick him up. When the man dropped Schwartzbauer off a second time at Midtown, he allegedly was wearing a light-colored bandanna as a face mask and gloves and carrying a bolt cutter. The man said he drove around for about 10 minutes before Schwartzbauer called him again to come pick him up. He said Schwartzbauer was upset because he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure out how to get into Midtown Tavern. The group left the Midtown and drove to the Last Call bar soon after it closed. The man dropped Schwartzbauer off on a side street. Schwartzbauer took the bolt cutters and went to the bar. Schwartzbauer came back to the car with four bank bags, some papers and cardboard. Schwartzbauer gave the man half of the money he allegedly had taken from Last Call. His half was about $2,500, mostly in denominations of $5 and $10 bills. He told Detective Mead that he had only about $300 left and it was in his wallet when he was arrested by Polk County officers. He said he spent most of the money gambling.

Sheriff: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A complex caseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have arrested several people for a variety of burglaries, but many have not yet been charged because we are still putting all the pieces of the puzzle together,â&#x20AC;? Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm said Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of my detectives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Finch, Mead and (Jamison) Wiltrout â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are working on this and have put in countless hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We estimate 15 different burglaries with six or seven possible suspects. We have to figure out which ones were involved in each burglary and tie in all the forensic evidence. It takes time. We are still sorting out all the players in this rash of burglaries. Last Call got hit two or three times. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complex case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all boils down to meth and heroin. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the root of it, and gambling,â&#x20AC;? the sheriff concluded.

the school. He proposed involving the St. Croix Tribal Police Department as well. That suggestion sparked a tense conversation about how the school has reached out before, and there was a tone of knowing the outcome of the two departments working together at the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am concerned why the Sheriff doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deputize the tribal officers,â&#x20AC;? Pettis said Tuesday morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tribal officers are duly trained. In this time of escalating crime one would think â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;all hands on deckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would be in order.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached out to them before,â&#x20AC;? School Board president Peggy Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to get them involved.â&#x20AC;? Pettis and Sybers went back and forth for a time, both intent on finding a solution that suits all parties and keeps the students safe.

Green Bay next week to watch the state volleyball tournament. The board approved the team using the district vans to transport the team unless they are needed to transport students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Specifically, homeless student transport needs, which take priority,â&#x20AC;? Shetler said.

ATV and parking permits Now that ATVs are approved to travel on all Siren village streets, parking will be in the lot #2 across from the school commons on land currently being purchased by the district. Board members discussed parking permits for student cars, so teachers and administrators will know if unauthorized cars are in the lot, or if students are parking in the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lot.

Money for traveling sports The Siren football team is headed to Schofield after qualifying for the Jamboree game this Saturday, where they will play Abundant Life/St. Ambrose at 10 a.m. The board will fund the football teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses to travel to the game, along with help from other donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want these kids, who have worked hard and earned this, to have to pay anything,â&#x20AC;? said Siren District Superintendent Kevin Shetler.

SIREN—The St. Croix Chippewa Tribe hopes to land a New Market Tax Credit in its effort to establish a Boys & Girls Club in Siren. If the tribe receives approval, the tax credit would help with the funding to remodel the former Fourwinds Grocery Store location on Hwy 35/70 in Siren, plus add an adjoining gymnasium. The tribe emphasizes that the tax credit application and the B&G Club exploration process are time-consuming events. No decision has been made whether the B&G club will be developed in Siren. The tribe is exploring the workings of different B&G Clubs and plans to send a representative to a B&G Club Summit event. The New Markets Tax Credit was part of Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000. The program goal is to spur revitalization efforts of low-income and impoverished communities across the United States. The program provides tax credit incentives to investors for equity investments in certified programs and projects that invest in low-income communities. The credit equals 39 percent of the investment paid out (five percent in each of the first three years, then six percent in the final four years, for a total of 39 percent) over seven years. Candance Rademacher, the tribe’s manager for the Boys & Girls Club project, said, “the Tribe is looking for all kinds of alternative financing to make this project a success.” Steve Briggs, Sentinel

DUFFY: visits Grantsburg for town hall meeting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

“Making sure it strong and well-funded is imperative. But, I also think in areas where there are options to let kids go to a private school, they should. You can look at particular zip codes in cities and know what kind of future the kids who live in that zip code are going to be like, and for most it’s not going to be bright. Why not give parents the option to send their kids to a school that the parents think will give their kids and better education and a shot at the American Dream?”

Tax reform “I think moving the standard deduction from $12,000 to $24,000 per couple can create some moral hazards, because I think that everyone who lives in this country should pay some taxes, even if it’s only $30 a year. We should all have some ‘skin in the game.’ Those who are powerful are able to come to Washington and get a lot of their income excluded from taxes. All the preferences and loopholes and deductions make for this massive tax code. If we

can actually take a lot of those out, simplify the codes and lower tax rates, I think that’s fair. “If one person or country pays 33 percent and another pays 10 percent, based on the power of their lobbying, that is not how the country should work. Instead, put everyone at 20 percent and make us competitive again on the global stage. Make it fair. Make it simple. We need a tax code that encourages to take risks, innovate and create new jobs.”

Right to Work “There are good arguments on both sides. I let the states deal with state issues,” Duffy said, adding he shared the Grantsburg constituent’s concern about the Republican Party’s success in the next election based on issues around Right to Work. “That and if we can’t get health care done and we can’t get the tax reform done, that’s going to cause people to ask ‘Why should I vote for you? I wouldn’t blame people. I am doing the best that I can but I wholeheartedly share the voters’ frustrations over lack of action.”

North Korea Duffy said dealings with North Korea by U.S. presidents from both parties “has been an utter disaster; from Clinton to Bush to Obama it has been an appeasement model, and that hasn’t worked. Bullies only understand strength; they don’t’ understand anything else. Though I think President Trump has been a little erratic in the way he has dealt with North Korea, I think he is trying to involve other countries that have been on the sidelines. Lots of countries are freaked out and worried about war on the peninsula. “China, because of his ‘rocket man’ rhetoric, is worried. They don’t want war on their border, so they are now engaged. You can see China helping us get a handle on financial institutions that laundry money for North Korea. China doesn’t want North Korea to collapse but can pressure them. “Nuclear was is absolutely the last and worst option that we have. President Trump is getting other countries engaged. That’s the only way we will get a peaceful solution.”

Red Cross Blood Drives in Grantsburg, Shell Lake The American Red Cross announces blood drives next week in the Sentinel area as follows: • Grantsburg – Noon to 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2 at T-Dawgs Grill and Conference Center, 429 E. State Road 70. • Balsam Lake – 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1 at Unity High School, 1908 150th St. • Shell Lake – 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3 at Shell Lake High School, 271 Highway 63. • Minong – 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3 at Minong Center, 212 W. 5th Ave. Wth the busy holiday season approaching, the American Red Cross encourages donors to give blood now to help ensure a sufficient supply for patients this winter. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, many regular donors delay giving due to holiday activities and travel. This often decreases the amount of donated blood available for patients. More donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help stock the shelves for patients like Emily Bratton. After the birth of her first child, she received several units of blood. “I know that my life was saved because someone, somewhere, was willing to donate their blood,” said Bratton. “There aren’t words to describe how incredibly thankful I am that people are willing to donate blood to help a stranger.” All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, from a computer or mobile device. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site. Give patients in need another reason to be thankful – make an appointment to give blood. Download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App or visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Saturday is Drug Takeback Day BURNETT COUNTY—County residents are invited to do their part in preventing misuse and abuse of prescription painkillers and other pharmaceuticals by taking their unwanted medications, both prescription and over the counter, to “Drug Take Back Day” locations on Saturday, Oct. 28. In Burnett County, drug disposal boxes are available year-round in the hallway to the Sheriff’s Department at Burnett County Government Center in Siren and at the Tribal Police office at the St. Croix Tribal Center in Hertel. “More than two thirds of people who have abused prescription painkillers got them illegally from a friend or family member,” said Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel. In partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), local law enforcement agencies are holding Drug Take Back events across the state on Oct. 28. This effort will continue to bring focus to the is-

sues prescription painkiller abuse and the opioid epidemic cause in Wisconsin. Drug Take Back Day provides a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the community about the potential abuse and consequences of improper storage and disposal of these medications. To find a Drug Take Back Location near you, go to:www.doseofrealitywi.gov/finda-take-back-location/. Drug disposal guidelines All waste pharmaceuticals must be generated by a household.

Early detection saves lives SUBMITTED BY HALLE PARDUN BURNETT MEDICAL CENTER MARKETING DIRECTOR

When cancer starts in the breast, it is called breast cancer. Both women and men can get breast cancer, though it is more common in women. Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. About one in eight women born today in the United States will get breast cancer. Breast cancer screening means checking a woman’s breasts for cancer before she has any symptoms. A mammogram – the screening test for breast cancer – is an X-ray picture of the breast. Mammograms cannot prevent breast cancer but are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat. There are different symptoms of breast cancer, and some people have no symptoms at all. Symptoms can include any change in the size or the shape of the breast, pain in any area of the breast, nipple discharge other than breast milk (including blood), and a new lump in the breast or underarm. If you have any signs that worry you, call your doctor right away. The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. Most women who are 50 to 74 years old should have a screening mammogram every two years. If you are 40 to 49 years old, ask your doctor when to have a screening mammogram. Talk to a doctor about your risk for breast cancer, especially if a close family member of yours had breast or ovarian cancer. Your doctor can help you decide when and how often to get mammograms.

Loving country living, one muffin at a time!

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Today I am going to tell you about two wonderful adult kitties. Sadly, so often the adults get left behind and the kittens are adopted, but older pets need love, too. Lee is a beautiful, affecttionate and loving fouryear-old girl with a very y gentle soul. She adores g p people and attention and h has a very loving spirit. T This kitty was a stray. U Until we had room at the sshelter, she was cared for b by her finder. Lee would fit into most any family. S She just wants one to Lee call her own. I know she would be eternally grateful, so we hope someone out there will adopt her. The second kitty is a very handsome and regal looking guy named Felix. Felix is a big, orange-colored dude with some white markings. He was a stray and like Lee, never reclaimed. We estimate his age to be around 10 so while he is getting up there in age, he has many more years of love to give. Felix is friendly, loves attention and enjoys treats – not necessarily in that order! This guy deserves a home to call his own. If you would like to meet either Lee or Felix, please stop by and check them out. There have been a few stray dogs in the last week with one still waiting for her owner. She is a beautiful and sweet blue tick hound that clearly has had puppies in her Felix life. This dog was picked up from Burnikel Road near Selvig Road in Siren, so if you know anyone missing her, she is safe and sound at the shelter, receiving the care she needs and deserves. We had our annual membership meeting and potluck supper on Oct. 16. Thank you to our guest, Rhonda Reynolds, for sharing a great video called “Sit, Stay, Ride,” about dogs riding in sidecars of motorcycles, all rescued dogs! It was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Congratulations to our fabulous Volunteer of the Year, Valerie Jehlicka. She deserves the honor for all her work with the dogs in the behavior program. A huge thank you to a great young man with a big heart, Elijiah Ward of Siren, who raised $110 for the animals in need here at HSBC by selling produce from his garden! Licks and tailwags from all the shelter residents. Quote: “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I see a soul.” Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, Don’t Shop”!

If you are interested in adopting a cat or dog from The Humane Society of Burnett County shelter, please call (715) 866-4096 or visit the website at www.hsburnettcty. org. License # 267335-DS.

Get the whole story when you read the Sentinel

Last week, I was driving down the road when I pulled up behind a huge green tractor pulling a heavy cart slowly down the road. I love where I live. Seeing the farm trucks hauling loads of grains, beans and corn makes me proud of our local farmers and what they can Wild Chow produce. Amazing! When this Lisa Erickson tractor turned right, I realized it was pulling a load of full crates of pumpkins! No wonder it looked so heavy. Is there any other vegetable that is more iconic for fall or any other season? So began my search for the perfect pumpkin-y treat. I love it when I find a recipe surprise that makes baking easier. I was searching for a muffin recipe that also had my all time favorite crumb topping. I came across this recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Its only flaw is that it made 15 muffins, not just 12. To keep things simple I adjusted the recipe and we now have a perfect winner!

The best part of this recipe is the crumb topping. The butter is melted and easily stirred into the dry mix—how easy! I’ll never again have to cut butter into flour for a crumb topping. You don’t have to either! Be sure to bake these right before your company or family arrives at your home. It will fill your house with the scent of fall spices!

Sally’s Perfect Pumpkin Muffins Adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction Makes 12 muffins Muffin mix 1 2/3 cups flour 1 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cups canned 100% pumpkin puree 1 large egg 1/4 cup whole milk Crumb topping 3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice 6 Tbsp. butter, melted Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, egg and milk together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then fold everything together gently and mix in the flour. Spoon the batter into muffin cups until they are almost full. For the topping, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice together. Stir in the melted butter until crumbs form. Spoon crumbs evenly on top of the batter and gently press into the batter until they stick. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees; then reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Bake for an additional 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

County’s soybean harvest in full swing BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

BURNETT COUNTY— Last week’s warm, dry days put the county’s soybean harvest into full swing until Saturday’s showers shut it down for the weekend. The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service says Burnett and surrounding counties saw five straight days of excellent fieldwork weather, as temperatures rose into the upper 70s in many areas, drying out muddy fields. Corn chopping for silage was well underway, but most farmers put off corn picking to let the crop dry down closer to the optimum 15 percent moisture. Peter Branstad, who farms near Branstad, said his soybeans varied from “still green around the edges of the fields” and in wetter areas to a perfect 12 percent moisture content on the dryer land. “For some reason, I have to leave the outside rows of our bean fields to dry down more,” Branstad said. “It’s been that

way the last few years,” Branstad said. He and his crew were putting in long days to get as much of the soybean crop harvested while the weather was so good, enjoying perhaps the last warm week of the year. Like many Burnett County farmers, Branstad uses a combine built in the 1980s, and was thankful it was holding up well to another harvest. “Around here, we farmers get the hand-medown equipment from the ‘big boys’ to the south of us. We make it do.” Branstad rated this year’s soybean harvest as “about average or maybe a bit better,” with sufficient or over-abundant moisture through the growing season, but not as much heat as farmers would have liked for better crop maturity and yield. Some late haying, manure spreading, fall planting and tillage rounded out a busy week in the fields. Topsoil moisture supplies in northwest Wisconsin were rated 85 percent adequate and six

percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated at 83 percent adequate and five percent surplus. Statewide, 82 percent of Wisconsin’s corn was reported mature, nine days behind the average. Corn harvested for grain was 15 percent complete, 15 days behind the average. The moisture content of corn harvested for grain averaged 25 percent. Corn acres harvested for silage was reported at 87 percent complete, eight

days behind the average. Corn condition was 70 percent good to excellent, two percentage points below last week. Eighty-six percent of Wisconsin’s winter wheat acres were planted, four days ahead of last year. Winter wheat emergence was reported at 66 percent complete, five days ahead of last year. Winter wheat condition was reported 83 percent good to excellent.

She S was the youngest of four children. c Evie had a deep appreciation for the written word a and would read “anything a and everything.” She would a fondly tell of the day her f mother took her to the New m York Public Library to get a Y library card when she was l just five years old. To her, the library was a special place full of adventure and possibilities. Evelyn was a beautiful writer of journals and letters. She met her husband DeGross “Dick” Kennedy through the Lonely Hearts Club, writing letters to each other before finally meeting. They married on her 30th birthday, Oct. 6, 1958, in North Carolina. They settled in Milwaukee and eventually moved to Falun. They were married for 20 years. Evie was a homemaker and also worked at factory jobs throughout her life.

Evie was a fiercely independent and private individual with a generous spirit. She often gave to others in need when she herself had very little. Her quick wit and sense of humor were ever-present even during difficult times. The motto she lived by was “the past is the past... just forge ahead!” In 2014, Evie moved into BMC-CCC and resided there for over a year. One of her greatest accomplishments in her later years was to return to the community to live independently for another year and a half at Big Gust Apartments. She worked hard to remain there until it became too difficult. The loving staff at BMC-CCC welcomed Evie back in June of this year, where she spent her final months. Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Dick; one sister, Helen; and two brothers, James and John. Online condolences may be expressed at www.swedberg-taylor.com.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates won their 26th Regional title on Saturday night as they cruised past the No. 5 seeded Clear Lake Warriors by scores of 25-19, 25-11 and 25-15 to take the crown. The Warriors started strong and took an early lead while the Pirates worked to find their groove before tying it up at 8-8. From there, they cranked it up a notch with strong net play and great defense to get the first win of the night. Grantsburg completely dominated the second and third sets to secure the win and extend their season and move onto the Sectional semi-finals. “Thankfully, this was our year to dominate, and dominate we did,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “Looking at the crazy-good ace serving stats by the Warriors,

we knew we had to win the serve/pass battle. As a team, they aced their opponents 18 percent of the time, with a couple of servers near 25 percent. Thankfully, our passers were determined and were only aced once. It helped that Clear Lake missed 10 serves. Our serving was not especially crisp, either, as we missed six, but we did amass six aces to somewhat mitigate the misses. We know if we can put the ball in play and at least get them out of system some of the time, our defense can handle most attacks.” The Siebenthal sisters led the team in ace serves with two each. The Pirates’ defense was impressive with players all over the court making sure nothing hit the floor. Randi Siebenthal and Jenna McNally led the team with 13 digs each, SEE PIRATES, PAGE 21

Pirates shut out SCF in Level 1 playoffs BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates openend up playoff action with a 44-0 thumping of the St. Croix Falls Saints on Friday to advance to Level 2 in their quest for a state championship. The Pirates got everyone involved as five different Pirates scored six touchdowns on the night. “I was really pleased with our team’s performance and to get a playoff win is always special,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said of the win. The Saints received the opening kick off, but were shut down quickly the Grantsburg’s smothering defense. They took over on offense and on their third play from scrimmage,

Bryce Roufs took it 45 yards to paydirt to get the Pirates on the board. The extra point by Jared VanWatermuelen was good to put them up 7-0 early in the first quarter. With 3:07 left in the first quarter, the Pirates scored again on a 30-yard field goal by VanWatermuelen to go up 10-0. On the Pirates’ next possession, an unsportsmanlike conduct call against the Saints gave Grantsburg first and goal on the four-yard line. On the very next play, John Chenal waltzed into the endzone for the third score of the night. The PAT was good to make it 17-0 with 11:31 left in the half. The Pirates’ next score came from a one-yard keeper by quarterback Luke Anderson after a long, methodical offensive drive by the hometown

boys. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good to make it 24-0. On SCF’s first offensive play, quarterback Clay Carney is picked off by Grantsburg’s David MacKean who runs it back to the Saints’ 43-yard line. The Pirates take over on offense with 3:16 left in the half. Pirate fans may have felt a sense of deja vu as Leo Chenal caught a pass at the 30-yard line, spun out of not one, but several tackles, leaving a pile of Saints on the ground as he made his way to the endzone for the score. This nearly identical play happened in the same spot, with the same outcome, the first time these teams met. The extra point is good to make it a 31-0 game at the half. The Saints opened up the second half with an onside kick attempt to no avail as Grantsburg’s Jase Quimby was quick to jump on the ball. Three plays later John Chenal took it up the middle on a 40-yard run to paydirt. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good to go up 38-0 with 10:40 left in the third quarter. The rest of the game was running clock. The Pirates would strike once more in the fourth quarter after a fumble recovery by Gabe Chenal put them back on offense. David Nelson pushed his way in from three yards out for the score. The PAT was blocked to end the scoring at 44-0 with 6:58 left in the game. Grantsburg tallied 356 yards of total offense, 255 of those coming on the ground. Their stingy defense held the Saints to just 44 total yards and just two first downs on the night. “Defensively we really improved since the last time we

met up with St. Croix and did a great job stuffing the run,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “Gabe Chenal played terrific and was in the backfield all night.” Gabe Chenal had a big night racking up five solo tackles and three assists. Leo Chenal had some big hits with four solos and one assist, as did Roufs with two solos and three assists. Levi Miller left his mark as well with three solos and one assist. John Chenal led the offense with 143 rushing yards on 16 carries. Roufs had a stellar night on offense with 64 rushing yards to go along with 52 receiving yards. Leo Chenal had 16 rushing yards and 35 in the air. Miller had three carries for 16 yards as well. At quarterback Anderson was nine of 15 for 101 yards and one TD to go along with his rushing TD. “On offense, Bryce Roufs followed up a good night last week with an even better one this week,” Hale said. “I was

Unity knocks Tigers out of playoffs BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—“Our team played hard on Friday night against a very good Unity team,” praised Webster football coach Andy Smith following the 20-0 defeat to the Eagles. “Hats off to them. We knew we would have to play a perfect game to have a chance.” Unity kicked off to start the game and forced Webster to punt. The Eagles took over on their own 49. Nine plays later, Unity scored on a Hunter Pederson to Logan Hendrickson pass play. The PAT failed. Unity 6, Webster 0. After punting a second time, Unity drove down the field, starting at the Webster 40 and getting to the Tiger one yard line. The Tigers held and took over on downs deep in their own territory. Punting for the third time, the Tigers relinquished posses-

sion to the Eagles on the Tiger 47. On the second play from scrimmage, the Eagles fumbled the ball back to the Tigers. Moments later, the quarter ended with Webster on their own 32. The Tigers got no further than their own 43 and punted with Unity taking over on their own nine yard line.

Getting to their own 35, the Eagles again fumbled the ball with Webster gaining control on the Unity 35. Shortly after, the Tigers fumbled the ball back to Unity, but the Eagles didn't capitalize on the turnover. Halftime came with Unity on the Tiger’s 25, leading 6-0. On Unity's first possession

of the second half, a huge sack forced the Eagles to punt the ball away. On Webster's first play, Unity picked off a pass, but gave it back to the Tigers via a fumble. Alternating possessions were the events for the rest of the third quarter. On Unity's second possession of the last quarter, Reeden Fisher ran the ball over from the one yard line. The twopoint conversion failed, 12-0 Unity. Another interception by Unity and subsequent fumble gave the ball to the Tigers on their own six. On an attempted pass play, Unity intercepted the ball and ran it 30 yards for the score. The two-point conversion was good and Unity had a commanding 20-0 advantage. The Tigers had one last chance to score, but ran out of downs on the Unity 48 and the Eagles ran out the clock. “Down by six into the fourth

quarter,” continued coach Smith, “we were still in the game and had our chances, but just couldn't get the big play to put us over the top. With the great defensive line that Unity has, we knew we had to pass the ball to keep the chains moving. We struggled with the wind a little bit and had too many penalties that killed drives. Our seniors did a great job this summer leading the team throughout the speed and agility program. It will be hard to replace their leadership. They were a wonderful example of how it is supposed to be done. It will be up to our underclassmen to take the torch and keep this program going in the right direction. Good luck to Unity; hopefully they can represent the Lakeland Conference well going forward in the playoffs.” The Tigers finish their season with a 4-2 conference mark and a 7-3 record overall.

Webster momentum continues; Tigers beat SCF BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ST. CROIX FALLS—Coming from a memorable win over Ladysmith in Tuesday night, the Webster Tigers created a new game to remember as they defeated the St. Croix Falls Saints 3-1 at St. Croix on Thursday night, getting the opportunity to go to Colfax on Saturday for a chance to win a Regional crown. The Tigers fell behind by as much as five early in the opening game. Taylor Howe scored a couple of kills to knot the score at one and then narrow the gap to 9-3, St. Croix. Summer Winkler made a kill and it was 11-7, Saints. A block by Winkler and co-blocks by Hannah McDowell and Howe tied the game at 12. Howe made the next point for Webster on a block and the Tigers took the first lead of the game at 13-12. The game was tied at 14, 15 and 16 before the Tigers were able to put some distance between them and the Saints.

Errors by the Saints gave the Tigers the game, 25-21. The Tigers gained a 5-0 edge in game two before the Saints got their first point on a block. St. Croix scored twice and then the Tigers got three to make it 8-3. The Saints added two, but Webster got five, 13-5 Tigers and St. Croix called time. Aggressiveness and the ability to dig the Saints kills enabled the Tigers to move ahead to a 19-11 advantage. Webster scored six of the next seven points to give them the win at 25-12. Game three was close until the Saints moved up to an 11-6 advantage. A tap by Taylor Howe narrowed the gap to 14-11. A kill by Howe had the Tigers trailing by only 15-12. Later, a Summer Winkler kill made it 22-18 for the Saints, and the Tigers could only muster one additional tally as the Saints took game three 25-19. Webster had a 10-4 lead in game four when the Saints called time. Hannah Janssen served an ace in

that cluster of points. Howe made a kill which upped the score to 15-6 and followed with a tap over the front line making it 16-6. A very strange play occurred when one of Webster's digs hit the ceiling and came down at an awkward angle. Yet, the Tigers managed to get the ball over the net and fall in between Saints players for a Tiger point. Moments later, a resounding kill by Howe made the score 19-9 and the Saints once again called time. St. Croix worked for a comeback bid, but it was too little too late as the Tigers went on to take game four, 25-13. “I'm so proud of my girls,” said an elated coach Stefanie Janssen. “They played great volleyball tonight. Our seniors knew what to expect (regarding game pressure) and worked very hard for tonight, and played with great intensity.” From here, “we'll go back and figure out what we need to do to play our game (against Colfax) on Saturday.”

followed by Olivia Oachs with six. “Clear Lake has some big hitters in the front row,” Allaman-Johnson noted. “There were even eight times that we did not assign a dig error because those hits were pretty amazing. Yet 43 times, we did dig the attack as our defense was on fire.” Offensively, Grantsburg put on a show with several hitters playing aggressively

and putting down some big hits. Kenna Johnson led the charge with 12 booming hits. Sophomore Brooke Quimby had her best game of the season putting down eight timely and well-placed balls. Randi Siebenthal also had eight kills on the night. Olivia Ohnstad tallied four kills and Linda Harmon had three “including the big exclamation point to end the match,” said her coach. Johnson and Quimby played big at the net defen-

sively as well with five and four blocks respectively. “My heart bursts with pride in our athletes. They battled and believed and brought nothing but positive energy to the court, bouncing back quickly after errors and firing back more unified, solid, and determined than ever,” Allaman-Johnson said. “We have played some great matches at weekend tournaments against top D1 and D2 teams that Pirate fans never got to see. It was nice to put on

a good show for our fans here at home.” The Pirates will travel to Cameron on Thursday night to take on the No. 3 Colfax Vikings in the Sectional semi-finals. Game time is 7 p.m. The winner of that match will play in the Sectional final on Saturday night against the winner of the Eau Claire Regis vs Cochrane-Fountain City for a right to go to State in Green Bay.

Vikings end Webster's volleyball season BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

COLFAXâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Colfax Vikings interrupted the Webster Tigers' volleyball season with a 3-1 win over the Tigers at a Division 3 Regional final on Saturday. The game scores were 22-25, 25-19, 25-12 and 25-17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colfax played a tough game,â&#x20AC;? explained Tiger coach Stefanie Janssen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were strong at the net in both attacking and blocking. We struggled to get the ball around their big blocks, and did them a favor with our inconsis-

We will miss Taylor (Howe) and Skyler (Winkler) greatly, but they've set a great example for the younger players of what you can accomplish with hard work and dedication. We were hoping for the rematch vs Grantsburg too! Maybe next year.â&#x20AC;? Summer Winkler led the Tigers in kills with 15 and Howe added 15. Kaitlyn Lee assisted 20 times. Emma Zmuda and Hannah Janssen had two aces apiece.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were simply flat,â&#x20AC;? Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said of her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much as call a single timeout, despite the fact that we were usually only ahead by two points, and once even behind by two points. I could get whipped into a frenzy about it, but as they say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is what it is.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We brought a little more fire during the third set and held on for the win. This match will not go down in history or our memory as anything other than a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;W.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Pirates hosted the Chequamegon Screaming Eagles in Regional semi-final action on Thursday night taking the 3-0 sweep to advance for a chance to bring home another Regional title to Grantsburg. Despite seeming a bit â&#x20AC;&#x153;offâ&#x20AC;? much of the night and making some uncharacteristic mistakes, the Pirates were able to get the win by scores of 25-21, 25-21 and 25-16.

Kenna Johnson and Randi Siebenthal led the Pirate attack with nine kills each followed by Olivia Ohnstad with eight. Brooke Quimby tallied five, Rachel Tooze had four and Linda Harmon had three. Pirate setter Charli Siebenthal had 19 assists on the night. Jenna McNally was the defensive leader with 19 digs. Randi Siebenthal was next on the list with 10. Harmon had six, and the Oachs twins, Olivia and Alaina, had four each.

Joseph Ohnstad and Trevor Vollendorf used their ability and leadership to improve as well.” The Webster girls placed sixth. Sam Nelson ran to a third-place finish overall at 21:30.1. Jenna Gomulak (39th), Ali Moritz (48th), Kaley Bergstrom (57th), Lexi Symond (64th), Sydney Raschke (65th), and Trinity Olguin (76th) were the remaining Webster girls runners. For Grantsburg, Savanna Trittelwitz came in 44th position at 25:59.1. Mirlande Brande and Hope McKinley

were 59th and 67th respectively. “Sam was done 21 minutes and 30 seconds,” said coach Ward, “placing third qualifying her to the State meet on Saturday in Wisconsin Rapids. Sam put herself in a good position early on in the race. Jenna was our number two runner! Jenna ran 25:43 for 39th place. Ali ran her season PR on a tough course. She placed 48th with a time of 26:10. Kaley (Bergstrom) ran the last part of our season injured. Lexi (Symond) was our Danny Diaz of McFarland. She has run strong the last two weeks. Sydney didn't run well, but that didn't stop her from being the most upbeat person that night. Last but not least, Trinity. What a wonderful runner

and teammate.” “The race went well for our girl runners,” reported coach McKinley. Savanna Trittelwitz, Mirlande Brande, and Hope McKinley all improved their time from running this course mid-season. “It was a bittersweet day,” continued coach McKinley. “Going into the meet, we had two runners (Gracie and Connor) not running due to injury. That is never how one wants to end a season. But their support and encouragement of the team was amazing. It is hard to believe the season is over. It went so fast. The athletes worked hard and I have been blessed to have coached this group. For the senior athletes, they wrapped up a great season and persevered to the end!”

Sam Nelson took a thirdplace ﬁnish.

“Congrats to Joey, Hunter and Sam,” praised coach Ward, “for proving you are one of Wisconsin's best high school runners. Good luck at State! State is at The Ridges Golf Course at Wisconsin Rapids. Sam races in lane 23 on Saturday at 12:40 p.m. Joey and Hunter race in lane 10 at 2:35 p.m.”

What to do about the Equifax data breach BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM GREATER WISCONSIN AGENCY ON AGING RESOURCES

You may have heard about the recent data breach at Equifax, one of the three major credit reporting agencies in the U.S. The data breach affected approximately 143 million Americans. According to Equifax, the breach occurred between mid-May through July of this year. The information released included people’s names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and even driver’s license numbers. In addition, the data breach released credit card numbers of roughly 209,000 people, along with other documents with personally identifying information of nearly 182,000 people.

Steps to protect your data The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommends that people take the following steps to help protect their information. First, find out if your information was affected. Go to Equifax’s website, https:// www.equifaxsecurity2017. com/potential-impact/, and enter your last name and the last six digits of your Social Security number. Be sure to use

Steps to protect identity In addition, here are some other steps you can take to protect your identity: • Always keep a close eye on your credit card and bank

accounts to watch for charges you don’t recognize. • Check your credit reports for free by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com. If you see activity you don’t recognize, it might be due to identity theft. You can learn more about identity theft at https://www.identitytheft.gov or by contacting your local police department. • Think about placing a credit freeze on your files. This makes it harder for someone to use your identity to open a new account in your name. Keep in mind that it doesn’t prevent someone from using your existing accounts. • If you don’t want to place a credit freeze on your files, think about placing a fraud alert on your files. This will let creditors know that they should make sure that anyone who wants to use your credit is really you. • File your taxes as soon as you can. This will prevent someone from using your Social Security number to get a tax refund.

‘Safe at Home’ gets equipment grant

CAREGIVERS CORNER by Barb Blodgett

Christmas for Kids When you were young and Christmas was approaching, your suspense about which gifts you would get was at a peak. You wanted to know what those wrapped packages under the tree where. What treasures were hidden there! Then, there are those children who do not understand. They do not understand why their friends and classmates look forward to Christmas with so much enthusiasm. They don’t have beautifully wrapped gifts under a Christmas tree. Often, there is not even a Christmas tree. Some families just can’t afford to get gifts for the children. “Christmas for Kids” was created for the purpose of helping make a Christmas for each of Burnett County’s children who would not otherwise have gifts to open on Christmas day. I can tell a story about how Interfaith’s Christmas for Kids gave a family a really special Christmas. The parents of the children filled out a wish list with small gifts they thought their children might enjoy. Christmas for Kids shopped for and provided what gifts it could. Something really special was in the bag for each child. Now here is the best part: The organi-

zations who decorate Christmas trees at Forts Folle Avione every year had given those trees to Interfaith. The family lived in a small dwelling that was not big enough to hold a Christmas tree. Christmas morning, with the help of some of Santa’s elves and a long extension cord, the children awoke on Christmas morning to find not only toys, but when they looked out the window there was a brightly lighted Christmas tree. That is what Christmas for Kids is all about. Making a child’s Christmas something really special is our main focus. No huge expensive toys or new clothing that are the “in” thing, but toys and warm clothes that will make a child really happy. With the help of donations of toys, clothes and money we are able to do just that. Last year, we supplied 347 children with a Christmas they would not otherwise have had. The Christmas for Kids program is not something we just put together in a month, but with hours and days of hard work the toys and clothes are ready for the parents to pick up to give to their children. Each year we learn how to make the process a little easier, but it is still a huge project. We put the gifts in bags to give parents the chance

to make sure their children will get things they can really enjoy. The wish lists are ordered by a call to the Interfaith Christmas for Kids hotline. When the parents receive them, they fill them out and return them so our gift buyers will know what to buy and put in bags for each family. Oct. 1 was the date the lists were available. They must be returned postmarked by Nov. 13. The distribution of the toys is Dec. 19 at the Webster Fire Hall. We do have some specific instructions for the family to receive gifts. The family must not have applied for any program elsewhere. We give gifts to children from infant to age 14. Each family must know there will be no extravagant gifts, but we try to see to it that each child has gifts that are around the same value. The children must live with the parent or guardian who has requested gifts for that child. I know Thanksgiving is not here yet, but some stores had their Christmas decorations out by the first week of October. Our planning begins in June and assures us we have a pretty good chance of getting everything right. In the past years, churches,

LADYSMITH—Indianhead Community Action Agency (ICAA) announces it has received a grant from the Mary Alphonse Bradley fund to support the “Safe at Home program.” The program helps seniors improve home safety by providing in-home safety assessments, minor home modifications such as grab bars and stair treads, review of prescriptions and medications, educational resources, and referrals to other programs and services as needed. Most seniors prefer to live safely and comfortably at home as long as possible before transitioning to higher care facilities, and Safe at Home’s goal is to help make that desire a reality. The grant from the Mary Alphonse Bradley Fund will make it possible for a wider range of clients to be served. For more information about this program, please contact Toni McCutcheon at 715-532-4222 or toni. mccutcheon@indianheadcaa.org.

Cooking for seniors: make great-tasting food for the senior palate BY SARAH STEVENSON SENIOR NUTRITION SPECIALIST

Healthy senior nutrition doesn’t have to be bland, when you can bump up the flavor. We’ve put together the best tips on how to make nutritious and great tasting meals for the elderly. Learn more.

culty chewing and swallowing — from reduced saliva as well as dental changes like dentures or lost teeth. Moist foods don’t require as much chewing and can be a lifesaver. As a bonus, many stews and soups can be made in a slow cooker, which frees up time and provides leftovers. Lastly, soups are good for hydration.

Medicare recipients have received or will soon get information about the new Medicare cards. Use this quick guide for any questions you have.

Why is Medicare changing my card?

Can I keep using the Medicare card I have?

To help protect your identity. Current Medicare cards use your Social Security number to identify you. The new cards will use a different, unique number so that the chances of fraud and identity theft are minimized should you ever lose your card.

Yes. You should continue to use the Medicare card you have now until you receive your new one in the mail. When you get your new card in the mail, read about how you should keep your new card safe and how to shred the old card to best protect your identity.

Will the new Medicare card change any of my program beneﬁts?

Where can I get more information?

Great-tasting food for senior nutrition One of the ongoing challenges for caregivers is contending with the changing reality of seniors’ nutritional needs. Older adults need a different balance of nutrients to ensure physical and mental health, and there are also medications to consider that can interfere or interact with certain foods. On top of all that, the elderly may have trouble processing some foods, as senses of smell and taste get weaker with age. All of this can add up to major frustration for caregivers and family members trying to provide older loved ones with enough nourishment. Fortunately, healthy senior meals don’t have to be devoid of flavor or excitement. Check out these tips for some nutritious alternatives that will kick the flavor up a notch and have your whole family cleaning their plates.

Generally speaking, a cooking class at a local community center or culinary school can help increase your repertoire and ability to cook appealing meals. Beyond that, there are also cooking classes designed specifically for caregivers of seniors, teaching the essential skills of cooking healthy, tasty meals that meet elderly nutritional needs. Check local cooking schools, community education programs, or ask the Area Agency on Aging for local resources.

Substitute potato for cream in creamy dishes Cream is high in fat and calories, even though it tastes so good. Fortunately, you can get that same thick, rich feel by adding peeled, diced potato to your soup during cooking. Once it’s pureed, you’ll have a soup with all of the creamy texture but almost none of the fat.

Amp up the ﬂavor without adding salt

Have your loved one choose the recipes

Fresh herbs, spices, onions, garlic, ginger and cooking with wine or acidic flavors like citrus or vinegar can all add an intense kick of flavor without relying on the less healthy standby of adding salt.

This tip comes courtesy of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York: “Buy a simple recipe cookbook or food magazine with lots of pictures and allow your loved one to choose recipes that are appealing to him or her.” You can always adapt the recipes to align more closely with appropriate senior nutrition.

Incorporate soft, moist foods like soups, stews and braises

Baby Boomers: Coordinate Medicare with

employer’s health insurance BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

As Baby Boomers work past the traditional retirement age or go back to work after retiring, more and more people over 65 are trying to figure out how to coordinate Medicare with group health plan coverage through an employer. Some are even trying to decide if they even need to sign up for Medicare at all. If you or your spouse are currently working and you have group health plan coverage through that employer, whether you should enroll in Medicare now depends on several factors. First, think about how many employees work for the employer. Employers with 20 or more employees must offer current employees 65 and older the same health benefits, under the same conditions, that they offer younger employees. Similarly, if coverage is offered to spouses, spouses 65 and older must be offered the same coverage that is offered to spouses under 65. If the employer has more than 20 employees, the group health plan generally pays for health care expenses before Medicare

pays. However, if the employer has fewer than 20 employees, Medicare generally pays first, so the employer coverage may not pay much, if anything, toward your medical expenses. You should check the plan documents to confirm which coverage pays first.

Medicare Part A The first time you can enroll in Medicare is during your initial enrollment period, which begins three months before the month you turn 65 and ends three months after the month you turn 65. Most people who do not have to pay a premium for Part A should enroll in Part A when they turn 65, even if they have group health coverage from an employer. However, if you will have to pay a premium for Part A or if you contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), you may want to consider signing up for Part A later. Because of an IRS rule, once you enroll in Part A, you won’t be able to contribute to your HSA.

Medicare Part B You can wait to sign up for Part B until you or your spouse

stop working or otherwise lose the employer coverage. You will not pay a late enrollment penalty for Part B as long as you enroll during the eightmonth special enrollment period that will start the month after you or your spouse stop working or the month after the employer coverage ends, whichever comes first. In addition, you can postpone your one-time Medigap open enrollment period, which starts when you enroll in Part B. During your Medigap open enrollment period, you can buy any Medigap policy an insurance company sells without going through a health screening or underwriting. Once this open enrollment period ends, guaranteed issuance into a Medigap policy only occurs under very specific situations. This means that you may have to pay more for a Medigap policy, or you may not be able to buy one at all.

Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage If you decide to enroll in Parts A and B, you’ll have to determine what type of prescription drug coverage is

More and more Baby Boomers are trying to ﬁgure out how to coordinate Medicare with group health plan coverage through an employer.

best for you. If you remain on an employer health plan, you should check with the plan administrator to see if the plan counts as “creditable drug coverage.” You will not pay a late enrollment penalty if you decide to enroll in a Part D plan later as long as you continue to have creditable prescription drug coverage. However, if you think you want to sign up for a Part D plan in addition to the employer coverage, you should be sure

to ask the employer if you can have both types of coverage. Many employer health plans do not coordinate with Part D plans. This means that if you join a Part D plan, you, your spouse and anyone else in your family who is covered under the employer health plan may lose that coverage. Once someone loses employer health coverage, it can be difficult to get that coverage back until the next open enrollment period.

COOKING: healthy options CAREGIVERS CORNER: Interfaith Caregivers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26

Include comfort foods in the meal rotation One of the problems caregivers may encounter is a lack of appetite or interest in eating. Fortunately, nutrition research is yielding some insights into how to address this issue. According to a 2012 study in Sweden, “habits and preferences that are formed during childhood and youth are difficult to change in adult life,” meaning seniors often gravitate towards foods they grew up with. So, an option is to rely on comfort foods that they used to eat when they were younger, or repeat recipes they particularly like. Just remember to make healthful substitutions as needed to ensure proper nutrition.

Replace unhealthy fats with good fats Just because mom’s on a heart-healthy diet doesn’t mean she can’t eat any fats at all. The key is to avoid trans fats and saturated fats, and replace them with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that help raise “good” cholesterol and protect against heart disease. Some sources

of good fats include olive oil, avocados, salmon, flaxseed, canola oil, nuts, soy milk and tofu.

Supplement meals with healthy snacks and smoothies Smoothies are one of the best ways to “sneak in” extra fruits and vegetables, especially if you have trouble getting your loved one to eat their daily allotment. Smoothies are tasty, sweet, and easy to drink, making them ideal for seniors who have problems with oral health. They are also a fantastic way to increase hydration and protein intake, especially if you add protein powder.

Add naturally sweet foods instead of sugar If your loved one has a sweet tooth, try this tip from HelpGuide. org: “Older adults tend to retain the ability to distinguish sweet tastes the longest, leading some to overindulge in sugary foods and snacks.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The greatest of these is loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Pastor Bill Schroeder Lakeside Community Lutheran Church

The words of 1 Corinthians 1-13 are most often heard at a wedding ceremony, and it is an appropriate text in this setting. However, I believe the Apostle Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words in this part of scripture are well-suited for all of life. I fully agree with Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment in 1 Corinthians 13 when he writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.â&#x20AC;? (Revised Standard Version) God is many things, but in my mind above all other things, God is love. God loves us unconditionally and that is an amazing gift. This is difficult for some

to believe, especially if one has not experienced unconditional love in a human setting. I was blessed with two wonderful parents who continually made it known that I was deeply loved. Both mom and dad have been gone from this earth now for many years, but the love they gave me continues to fill my heart. I have so many wonderful memories I could share, but one always stands out in my mind. One night my firemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pager went off and it was an ambulance call to my parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. I immediately jumped in the car and

drove to my parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, where the ambulance crew was present and working on my dad. There was no room for me in dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small bedroom so I sat and comforted my mother. Eventually, they stabilized dad and loaded him into the ambulance and I walked to the back of the ambulance to give him a thumbs up. He smiled through the oxygen mask and then he spoke three words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love you.â&#x20AC;? I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear the words, but they were so clear that I will never forget them. Dad survived this scare and we were fortunate to spend a couple more years with him before he was called home.

Breast Cancer Basics Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers that affects people today. Numerous researchers, doctors and organizations are working tirelessly to find a cure. But what do you really know about it? Here is an outline for how breast cancer occurs, signs and symptoms and who is at risk for developing the illness.

Breast Cancer’s Impact “It won’t happen to me.” This is a very common thought among people about most terrible things in life. Sadly, the likelihood of it being true is very small when it comes to breast cancer. The Breast Cancer Research Foundation has collected important statistics regarding the diagnosis and mortality rate of breast cancer. Here is what you need to know:

What It Is

In the United States

Cancer is a group of diseases that cause cells in the body to change dramatically and grow exponentially. These abnormal growths are called tumors, which have the ability to grow into other tissues and even travel to other parts of the body. Most breast cancers are invasive or infiltrating — which means they have broken through the walls of the ducts or glands where they originated and grow into the breast tissue.

• After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. • More than 230,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer, and more than 60,000 new cases of breast carcinoma in situ (cancer that has not invaded nearby breast tissue) were diagnosed in 2015. • More than 40,000 women in the United States will die each year from breast cancer. • 440 men will die each year from

Signs and Symptoms Breast cancer typically shows no symptoms in the early stages, when the tumor is small (and can be easily treated). This is why it is important for women to perform self-breast examinations on a monthly basis and go for recommended screenings. When the cancer has grown to a size that can be felt, the most common sign is a painless lump. While there can be other physical changes to the breast — including swelling, thickening or redness of the breast tissue, puckering of the nipple or a spontaneous or bloody discharge — it is important to note that pain (or lack of pain) does not indicate the presence or absence of breast cancer.

Who Gets Breast Cancer The short answer: everyone. However, it is more prevalent in women, and accounts for 29 percent of all newly diagnosed cancers among U.S. women, according to the American Cancer Society. Risk increases with age. The appearance of breast cancer is higher among white women than black women between the ages of 60 and 84. However, black women have a higher occurrence rate before the age of 45, and are more likely to die from breast cancer at every age.

breast cancer. • There are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. This includes people who are still being treated and those who have completed treatment.

Around the World

GREENSHOOT MEDIA

• Nearly 1.7 million new breast cancer cases were diagnosed in 2012. • Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in men and women worldwide. In 2012, it represented 12 percent of all new cancer cases and 25 percent of all cancers in women. • It is also the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in 140 of the 184 countries worldwide. • Since 2008, the worldwide occurrence of breast cancer has increased by more than 20 percent, and mortality has increased by 14 percent. • As of 2012, Belgium had the highest rate of breast cancer, followed by Denmark and France.

Pink Ribbon History The pink ribbon has become a well-known symbol for breast cancer awareness and support. But how did ribbons become silent declarations of support? Why pink? Here’s the scoop.

Ribbons as Symbols Ribbons first became a tool to bring awareness and support to a cause in 1979 — when the wife of one of the prisoners of the Iran hostage crisis, Penny Laingen, decided to use a yellow ribbon to show support for her husband and the other hostages. A decade later, Visual AIDS — an AIDS awareness and support group — employed a red ribbon on a national stage during the Tony Awards. Since then, many organizations have claimed their own unique ribbon color to signify support and awareness for their cause.

A Peachy Past The ribbon for breast cancer awareness got its start as peach colored, ac-

cording to Pink Ribbon International — an initiative for breast cancer awareness and funding. Charlotte Hayley, a breast cancer patient, introduced the peach ribbon by attaching it to cards saying, “The National Cancer Institute’s annual budget is 1.8 billion U.S. dollars, and only 5 percent goes to cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon.” Haley distributed thousands of these cards, and her message spread by word of mouth, but her efforts were strictly grassroots.

ribbon, but Haley rejected the collaboration — stating that the magazine’s intent was “too commercial.” Unable to use the original peach ribbon for legal reasons, the magazine changed the color to pink — and the rest is history.

The Making of an Icon The pink ribbon truly became established in 1991, after the cosmetics industry endorsed the symbol. This is also how the ribbon took on the pink hue it is known for today. The editor-in-chief of Self Magazine, who was working on a breast cancer awareness issue with Estee Lauder Cosmetics, sought to incorporate Haley’s

The Self-Breast Exam

Providing Support

Because breast cancer is the most common cancer for women today, routine self-examination is an essential step in catching the disease early. In fact, according to the National Breast Cancer Association, 40 percent of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women through self-examination. By examining yourself on a monthly basis, you will quickly become familiar with your breasts and the surrounding tissue and will easily be able to see or feel an abnormality, such as an unusual lump, changes in the skin or any sort of discharge.

Finding out that someone you care about has breast cancer can be devastating. It is a natural impulse to want to offer support to help alleviate the stress or burden on your loved one. But what do you say? What do they need?

Be Speciﬁc

How to Look While physically looking down at your breasts is a good start, it is not adequate for a full examination. To view each section of your breasts equally, you must stand in front of a mirror. Check for dents, pulls and any sort of odd coloring. Be sure to check your breasts standing straight ahead with your arms resting at your sides, again straight ahead with your arms raised above your head, and again leaning slightly forward with your hands on your hips.

How to Feel

‘According to the National Breast Cancer Association, 40% of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women through self-examination.’

Just as you do with a visual examination, to properly feel your breasts for abnormalities, you must examine them in several positions. The shower is an excellent location for an exam, because the water

than the fingertips) to gently move the breast. Move your hand from the outside of the breast towards the nipple and then back out to the edge. Do not ignore the fleshy part of your armpit, as

this is also technically breast tissue and should bot be overlooked. The other position you should perform a breast exam in is flat on your back. When you are lying down, the breast tissue lays evenly along the wall of your chest. Lift the arm coinciding with the breast you are examining above your head (left arm with the left breast, right arm with the right breast), and perform the same movements as in the shower. Use both light and firm pressure and be cognizant of any pain. Keeping a journal of any abnormalities and follow-up doctor visits is a great way to stay on top of your overall breast health.

While you might be willing to do anything that will help your friend or family member during this difficult time, it is important to offer specific aid. Keep in mind that the afflicted person is likely receiving multiple offers of assistance from a variety of people. She is probably feeling alone and scared, and not sure who she can count on. Instead of asking a blanket, “Is there anything you need?” or “Let me know what I can do to help,” suggest

a clear measure of support that you are willing to perform — and follow through on. Here are a few tips to get you started:

laundry, droping off dinner or mowng the lawn might seem like a small gesture to you, it could feel life changing to someone with breast cancer.

Transportation Having breast cancer is an exhausting process filled with all types of medical treatments and hospital stays. Getting to and from treatment centers is often painful and tedious. Offering to give your loved one a ride or pick him up is appreciated by him and his family members, who are most likely juggling the task.

Household Chores Day-to-day life can be taxing on someone who is fit and healthy. Imagine what it must be like when your body is fighting off disease and routinely filled with medical therapies. While offering to do

Emotional Support Not everyone is great at listening — at really hearing people. People who are struggling with breast cancer are often in need of a supportive ear. Be a caring friend, and listen to whatever your loved one needs to say. Don’t forget to reciprocate. Share your own feelings honestly. Just make sure you’re clear on the level of discretion your loved one wishes to maintain, to respect her privacy.
