BREAST CANCER AWARENESS: Why we wear pink. P31-32

If not North Ambulance, then who? BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—There’s no doubt the ambulance service in Burnett County is a delicate issue — it seems anyone you talk to has an opinion, but hardly anyone wants to go on the record with their thoughts. One thing everyone does agree on, however, is that the quality of service is second-to-none. “The ambulance service is such an important one — we have to ensure we have good service,” Steve Austin, Chairman for the Town of Webb Lake, specified. “I don’t question the quality of their service.” However, Austin was willing to go on record saying he does see some issues. “I have a couple of concerns — our contract states there is to be a manned ambulance at A&H corners 24/7,” he pointed out. “I’m not convinced that is always happening.” It’s a crucial concern — one shared by many.

“If we don’t have that ambulance which is five or 10 minutes away, we need to know,” Austin continued. “If we have to wait for an ambulance to come from Webster or Grantsburg, it’ll be too late.” It’s an issue Gary Lundberg, Chairman for the Town of Scott, can weigh in on. “The ambulance at A&H got pulled,” he clarified. “We finally got North to post an ambulance from the Grantsburg station at our fire hall three or fours hours a day.” When that time is up, Lundberg said his residents are served by whichever unit happens to be closest. In their stead, both Scott and Webb Lake have been relying on their first responders. “I’m a big backer of our first responder group — the guys and gals who step in until an ambulance can be on the scene,” Austin explained. “They have done a tremendous job for us.” SEE NORTH, PAGE 7

Village offers water drainage plan BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—At a meeting Thursday, the Grantsburg Village Board offered South Pine Street residents a plan it said will help drain standing water from their properties. For many months, residents have been asking the board to act, but those at the meeting greeted the plan with a bit of hope and a lot of skepticism. The board had allotted 30 minutes for the top-

ic of wet lawns and basements at the Pine Street properties south of Hwy 70. It has been on the board’s agenda for many consecutive months, as homeowners have urged the village board to act to restore the natural waterway on land that adjoins their property on the east. The land is owned by Karl Anderson. This summer, he sold the northwest corner along the south edge of Hwy. 70 to a developer to build SEE PLAN, PAGE 6

Helping one of its own Bone marrow registry drive for Mike Myers BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Like they have on numerous occasions, local folks are going to bat for one of their own Wednesday (Oct. 12) when a Be The Match event opens its doors at the Grantsburg Middle School from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mike Myers was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on Aug. 24 and almost immediately started treatment. “We are filled with such warmth from our community’s support,” Lucy Myers reports from Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where Mike is undergoing treatment. “It’s

been positively overwhelming and a big reason we’ve remained strong during this unexpected challenge.” Currently, Mike is back in the hospital, finishing up his second round of chemotherapy. He is on a schedule of one to two weeks in the hospital followed by one to two weeks at home. “This treatment phase is known as the ‘induction of remission,’” Lucy stated. “Despite having a couple rough days throughout treatment, he is incredibly upbeat and positive, realizing the need for chemo and demonstrating a ‘can do’ attitude through all of it. His strength and will to beat this cancer makes all of us around him stronger.” SEE MARROW, PAGE 2

MARROW: Anticipated response to registry event highlights people’s selﬂessness CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Following his six-to-eight chemotherapy treatments, there is a high probability of his needing a bone marrow transplant. His form of leukemia also tested positive for the Philadelphia Chromosome — a chromosome the chemo will not kill. “Mike’s particular form of leukemia — Philadelphia chromosome-positive b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia — requires not only chemotherapy, but an additional drug known as a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI),” Lucy explained. “Upon completion of chemotherapy, Mike will likely undergo a bone marrow transplant (BMT).” As the father of five, it seems a bone marrow match from one of his offspring would be the strongest likelihood, but that is not the case. “In regards to donor matches, Mike’s siblings are regarded as having the highest likelihood, as they share DNA from the same biological parents,” Lucy pointed out. “Mike has three living siblings — an older sister, an older brother, and a younger sister. “ According to Lucy, the three have already sent in their swab kits to the University of Minnesota BMT center, which is where saliva samples are typed for marrow matching. If his siblings are

not good matches, the team will turn to the donor registry in search of the best match. That’s where Be The Match event comes into play. “People ages 18 to 44 are urged to attend the Be The Match event to get signed up for the bone marrow registry,” Kim Hallberg, a teaching colleague of Lucy’s, remarked. “It’s a 4-stage process, ending with a mouth swab which gets sent in for testing.” The participants will be notified if their marrow is acceptable. Why 18 to 44? Lucy wondered that herself and researched an answer. “When it comes to identifying a marrow donor, doctors weigh many factors including the age of the donor,” she reported. “Medical research has shown that cells from younger donors lead to better long-term survival for patients after transplant. In fact, doctors request donors in the 18-44 age group more than 95 percent of the time.” And getting older, as it seems to do in other areas, increases the risk of a complication resulting from any medical procedure. “People over age 60 are at a slightly increased risk of complications during and after donation, and therefore may

not join the registry,” Lucy continued. “Age guidelines are in place to protect the health of potential donors and to provide the best possible treatment for patients — the age limit is not meant to discriminate in any way.” But those over 44 need not worry. “Those between the ages of 45 and 60 who want to join the registry are welcome to do so, but must join through their online registration process,” Lucy stated. “You will be required to make a $100 payment at the end of the online process to cover the cost to join.” Lucy said a bone marrow transplant follows a complete remission of the leukemia, but if marrow matching proves difficult, Mike could also enroll in a clinical trial. “A clinical trial for his leukemia would involve evaluation of a next-generation TKI, which may one day substitute the need for a BMT,” Lucy explained. “Our main oncologist at Regions Hospital, Dr. McCormack, is doing additional research to help us determine the best course of treatment. A marrow transplant seems most likely, which could take place as early as November or December of this year.” The support the Myers family has received from the community and the school district has been astonishing. “We have received cards, letters, phone calls, gas cards and many other gifts,” Lucy noted. “Mike has received emails from his former players, who share their appreciation of his coaching

and prayers for him through the months ahead — these letters and prayers have been especially meaningful to him.” The Pirate football team even gave Mike the game ball after their Durand victory, as well as making a call of support for him during one of their home games. Hallberg started a meal train shortly after Mike’s diagnosis. “We are eating like kings and queens,” Lucy laughed. “I am not sure what the family is going to think when we return to solely my own cooking.” She said the school district has rallied around the family as well. “Teachers in our district have signed up to donate sick leave days as needed for me and so many of them are keeping a ‘watchful eye’ on Whitney (the Myers’ daughter still in elementary school),” Lucy added. “To be surrounded by a big circle of care and concern is incredible.” Lucy said the churches in the community have included Mike in their prayers. “Prayers which give us encouragement through the especially tough days,” she pointed out. “We could not imagine a more caring community and are in awe of the kindness shown by so many people — some of whom we have never even met.” Through a life of its own through social media, the current number of people possibly attending the bone marrow drive is more than 100 — not including all those who have volunteered to help.

Routines

If you are seemingly always doing the same thing, welcome to the world of routines. Don’t worry — it’s not the end of the world As a wise friend of mine once confided to me, “Routines define who we are.” It seems that may be true. Take my mom, for instance. She wouldn’t be Marge if she wasn’t 10 or 15 minutes early for her appointments. Conversely, my friend Frank is habitually late for just about everything — not to put too fine a point on it but I think he’ll be late for his own funeral. But that’s just they way they are — you adjust accordingly and move on. In my own case, I just got back Seems to from the wife’s annual physical Me education conference near St. Minn. Todd Beckmann Cloud, While she’s busy with classes and seminars during the day, we have one night there to explore the area plus the drive there and home. I usually load up with two or three taped or written interviews and spend those days in front of a computer screen in a local library. She’s been going to this conference for 15 years but I just started joining her for the last six years or so. It’s just a nice break from the routine of going to work everyday — or at least going to work in the same place everyday. But the trip to the St. Cloud area is the same every year — just more routine. We leave Wednesday night, check into the state park where we are staying, sleep and then get the wife to her conference. From there, I drive to the closest library and work on writing stories. The first library I visit closes at 1 p.m. on Thursdays, so I work most of the morning, break for lunch and drive to another library for my afternoon work session. A routine I established six years ago. Then it’s back to pick up the wife and we enjoy our evening together — this year we had a roaring campfire. Friday is a repeat of Thursday although the first library I went to Thursday is closed Friday, so I visit a third library Friday morning to continue my work. More routine. Now, I only go to this library once a year and when I went Friday, and while the librarian doesn’t call me by name but she does say she remembers me — I hope that’s a good thing. The wife’s conference concludes at noon on Friday and we always seem to stop for groceries on the way home. I guess we resort to routine because that is what is comfortable for us — after all, it’s called a comfort-zone for a reason. But I make a resolution each January to break out of my comfort-zone in at least one area of my life — but for some reason, sky-diving is still on the back burner.

Thanks, Vin Although I am not a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, I am a fan of Vin Scully, the broadcaster who has called Dodgers games for 67 years, who will be retiring at the end of the regular baseball season this weekend. Scully, like many beloved announcers for sports teams, began his career in AM radio. The invention of the From the transistor radio in Publisher’s the 1950s forever changed the way Desk sports fans conTom Stangl nected and kept up with their favorite teams. I heard a feature on Scully on National Public Radio (NPR) last week. The reporter doing the feature talked about how people would bring their transistor radios to the game to listen to Scully call the game. I think everyone of a certain age has a story about how the transistor radio changed their life. For some, it was listening to music, for others it was a way to “be” at sporting events they could not attend. Many can relate to listening to games with the earpiece in one ear while doing a chore or being

outside fishing. The relationship between the listener and the announcer in this type of broadcasting is very personal, so Dodger fans are in mourning now as an institution that has been a part of their lives for nearly seven decades is changing. Scully began his career broadcasting games when the team was still in Brooklyn, New York. Scully told the NPR reporter that he always felt he needed the listeners more than they needed him, reinforcing the personal bond between broadcaster and listener. I remember Scully calling NFL games in the 1970s and 80s. His distinctive voice and knowledge of the game are qualities that I will remember for years. Scully also worked professional golf coverage as well. Although I was too young to hear him do play by play, I enjoyed hearing “Red” Barber talk sports on public radio. Barber’s unique voice, knowledge of sports and almost antebellum mannerisms made each talk a joy to listen to, even if I didn’t know or care about the topic he was discussing. Milwaukee Brewer fans continue to have the joy of listening to play by play by Bob Uecker. Uecker, a catcher during his professional baseball career, has been calling games since 1971.

How can you not love Bob Uecker? His wit and self-deprecating humor is timeless. Uecker parlayed his skills as an unintentional comedian into numerous appearances on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson, appearances in Miller Lite beer commercials and even a role on a sitcom, “Mr. Belvedere.” His penchant for wearing rather obnoxious and loud plaid sports coats, in my mind, cemented his image of the awkward and seemingly oblivious relative that we all seemed to have growing up. As the baseball season ends and the playoffs begin, I think it is fitting to remember the contributions these faceless voices have made in our lives. Having a fellow fan and friend describe how the game was unfolding is a treat, literally the next best thing to being there in person. Vin Scully, thanks for your knowledge, wit, commitment and class. I doubt we will see the likes of your kind again. I hope you enjoy your retirement! As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

Never hit ‘that’ key

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Harsdorf’s lead paint problem

It’s always difficult to fill in at work for someone whose tasks differ from those one usually does. It’s often painful for the one taking leave as well. Most of us have experienced that side, too, with vacation, at times, carrying dread and a lot of extra work. It can take some of the fun out of our free time. After being out of the ever-changing and at-thespeed-of-light world of technology in any serious fashion for several years, I find a complicated program even more challenging. I’m grateful for the early work completed for my fill-in week, especially that work requiring a particular proNewbie in gram that causes me a great of frustration. the North- deal That may have been as much for the vacationer and woods the company as it was for me. Lori Callahan Either way, it helped me immensely. Thi wasn’t ’t always l This the case.

Even though my high school acquired its first computer for students during my senior year, I was still the youngest full-timer employed at this 1980-something institution. The image of that first high school computer, a honking piece of equipment, now reminds me of old sci-fi movies. Funny thing is, it’s not fiction. That’s the way it was. There was one occasion during this early employment when we received new PCs and a trainer for a day. Apparently, there was one thing we were warned never to do — one command never to select. Being the ‘computer’ girl, as well as needing to use and master the programs myself, I would explore them as time allowed. Each screen offered many choices. What’s this? I’d select it. One fateful day, I hit the warned-about command, wondering what it was. It had been many months and that little tidbit of info got lost in my head — ‘Use it or lose it’ and I lost it. Our whole program crashed and shut us down electronically for most of the day. Worse, it was Christmas Eve-day and we were scheduled to be done working at 3 p.m. My little blunder, forcing us to manually assist customers and keep meticulous handwritten records to input once our system was back up, moved the holiday kickoff to a 5 p.m. start. I remember thinking at the time, and still do, how truly illogical and not too smart it was to have such an option. It didn’t say “warning;” didn’t appear ominous — it was just a box on the screen, no different from any other. I may have been the computer gal back then, in truth, because I was the one least afraid of the computers and punching the wrong button. I was forgiven — maybe because my coworkers were simply relieved it wasn’t them. We all need someone to take the pressure off ourselves every now and then. If there’s any “self-destruct” icon hidden in this current program, I can happily say I missed it.

To the Editor: Last week there was a political blast in Wisconsin that changed everything, and you ran an excellent story on it; this is a shorter summary of that event. The Guardian newspaper released evidence of massive corruption by Governor Scott Walker and several of his closest political cronies, including Senator Sheila Harsdorf from River Falls. It appears that Harsdorf has secretly supported legislation that retroactively protected a large lead paint manufacturer (NL Industries) from lawsuits stemming from the poisoning of Wisconsin children. Back in 2011, NL Industries made a substantial dark money donation of $750,000 to the Republicans, who were facing recall elections at that time. This crooked money helped Sheila Harsdorf win re-election. Later, she showed her appreciation by supporting legislation that protected her benefactor whose paint products had poisoned the children. If Harsdorf’s corruption makes you angry, an alternative is available on November 8. Her name is Diane Odeen. She has a strong record of public service. She would be a superb and honorable state senator. John See Menomonie

What will voters say? To the Editor: In a 1997 interview with Howard Stern, Donald Trump bragged about his sexual exploits and once again denigrated the service of men and women in the military. Trump said his “personal Vietnam” was avoiding a sexually transmitted disease. “I feel like a great and brave soldier.” Trump received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War. In the 1980s, DT accused street vendors who were disabled veterans of ruining how the street looked in front of Trump Tower on 5th Avenue in New York City and wanted them thrown off. After the Twin Towers fell, he bragged that now his tower was the tallest in NYC. Trump, the draft dodger, compared his sacrifices to the sacrifices of a Gold Star family whose son died protecting fellow soldiers in Iraq. His comments were “repugnant... offensive, and frankly anti American.” (Vote Vets.org) He has demeaned the sacrifice of Purple Heart recipients. He claims to know more about ISIS than the generals do and will fire many of them. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates criticized Trump, saying he is “beyond repair.” Trump would send our military personnel to bomb and possibly begin a war with Iran over a rude finger gesture. Trump, the draft dodger, has demeaned the service of our military personnel. Congressman Duffy says, “Trump says what he means.”

Value Strip

Harsdorf is working for us To the Editor: I have known State Senator Sheila Harsdorf for over 20 years. She has the commitment, the knowledge, the experience and the energy to tirelessly work for all of us in western Wisconsin at the state legislature. Sheila consistently brings the issues affecting our area to the State Senate and works to solve problems for individuals and communities. During the past legislative session, Sheila worked with area economic development officials to help establish a small business incubator in River Falls. She led the way in the State Senate to secure a matching grant to make this incubator a reality and encourage those with great ideas to start their own businesses and create jobs. One of Sheila’s priorities in her next term will be to continue efforts to address the skills gap, a frequently-expressed concern by job creators in our region. To grow the work force, she supports working with our area K-12 schools to ensure technical and four-year college readiness so that new entrants into the workforce can receive appropriate training for the jobs available. For those who support growth and prosperity in Wisconsin, the choice is clear. I’m voting for Sheila Harsdorf on November 8, and I hope you will too. Cris Peterson Grantsburg

Enjoy Grantsburg ﬂy-in To the Editor: I am a pilot from the Grantsburg Municipal Airport (airport code GTG). On Saturday, October 8, we pilots are hosting a fly-in. This is mostly a meet-and-greet for the public to get to know us, and to understand the airport is there for the public, too. Everyone is welcome. I personally do alot of mowing on the field and have met people that visit the airport. I try to make a point to get to meet those that stop in. Some are pilots but are not current on their license, but still have the passion for flying. Some are not pilots but wonder what flying is all about, and some just like watching planes take off and land. For the younger generation, ages 8 to 17, with the help of EAA Chapter 237 from the Anoka County Airport, we are offering free airplane rides so the younger generation can experience the thrill of flying. I put together a short video to show what flying is all about. It is 1 min., 41 seconds long. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed flying around taking the photos and short videos to make it happen. Here is the link https://goo.gl/photos/YTUbsF5jphnhMyeQA.

Hunter harassment stance

To the Editor: Last week Jeff Peterson doubled down on his opposition to Adam Jarchow’s Right to Hunt Act. I am not very involved in politics and don’t write these kinds of letters. But, what Peterson said in his letter last week was so blatantly false, that I had to respond. I was there at the beginning of this ordeal. Many hunters in our area were being harassed by a dangerous convicted felon and his group of anti-hunting extremists. This is a man who blew up the animal laboratory in Michigan and served time in prison. He is the real deal - a genuine eco-terrorist. He and his group were following hunters in the woods, even parking at the end of driveways and following hunters as they left their homes. Given this man’s violent past, the fear was real. We had a hunter harassment law. Yet law enforcement seemed paralyzed. DNR said the local sheriff’s department had to enforce it, while the local sheriff’s department said DNR had to. They both said the law was unclear and difficult to enforce. So, we called our state representative (Adam Jarchow) to discuss the issue. He met a group of us one night after work at a restaurant north of Amery. He listened and asked questions. After we left, we didn’t know what to expect. But soon we heard that Jarchow was working on the issue. He was researching the law, and discussing the problem with local law enforcement and DNR. He soon found out what we already knew – the law needed fixing. So he worked with law enforcement, DNR, local district attorneys, sportsmen’s groups and other stakeholders to draft a bill. He got Senator Moulton to lead the charge in the Senate. Soon thereafter, they had committee hearings in both the Senate and Assembly. The hearings were packed with men and women in camouflage who told their stories and supported the bill. Jarchow’s bill was supported by the Bow Hunters Association, NRA, Bear Hunters Association, Wisconsin Wildlife Federation and many other sporting groups. A Polk County Deputy even drove down to testify about why the bill was needed. Jeff Peterson says this bill is about division. But, actually, all Republicans and nearly all Democrats supported the bill. Even liberal Democrats Bob Wirch, Kathleen Vinehout, Nick Milroy and Chris Danou voted for it in committee. It passed both the Senate and Assembly on voice vote with nearly no debate and no dissent. So, Peterson is on an island of opposition of his own making. There is no reason to oppose a bill like this. In fact, this is exactly how it should work. Jeff Peterson sides with a convicted eco-terrorist over northwoods hunters. I side with Adam Jarchow over Jeff Peterson. Eric Tuckner New Richmond

One dead following accident SIREN—A 62-year-old man from the Eau Claire area is dead following an accident in the parking lot of Yourchuck’s True Value Hardware Store in Siren Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 27. According to the Burnett County

Sheriff’s department, about 2:20 p.m. deputies and officers from the Siren Police Department responded to a report of a male subject having been struck by a vehicle. The victim, Peter M. Michels, was

transported by North Memorial Ambulance to Burnett Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries. The driver of the 3/4-ton pickup which struck Michels is cooperating with law enforcement in this investigation.

As the investigation by the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department is continuing, no further information will be released at this time. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

PLAN: Water-logged residents grudgingly hear plan to solve drainage issue CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

a Dollar General retail store. The homeowners are concerned that runoff from the new store and parking lot will make their drainage issues worse. WHOSE PROBLEM? The homeowners say their sump pumps run year ‘round, even in January, and their lawns are wetter than ever. Most of the village board members have stayed neutral or taken the position it’s not a village problem. Unlike the usual interaction between the groups, at this meeting the board did most of the talking. It appeared to catch the homeowners offguard. Using photos and charts he assembled into a Powerpoint® presentation, Village President Glenn Rolloff declared a major reason for the wetness is a pattern of steadily increasing average annual rainfall, coupled with several recent wet summers. His chart showed 28 inches of average rainfall in 1950 growing to 33 inches annually now. A second chart showed several recent years with much heavier-than-average rainfall. It’s the rain that’s the problem, not the waterway, Rolloff insisted. The homeowners say Karl Anderson, the landowner to the east, made elevation changes to his property that changed the natural waterway along the east side of their homes. They state the waterway has been disrupted or slowed, so that more water is running into their yards rather than following the natural elevation decline northward to the Wood River. Some years ago, Anderson built a berm to try to help direct water away from the homes, but both the homeowners and water experts say it may have unintentionally made matters worse by preventing water on the homeowners’ property from flowing east to the waterway. Rolloff’s presentation had photos in several locations showing water running on the intended path. He stated the water is draining, and that eventually the

Standing water, saturated lawns and wet basements along South Pine Street in Grantsburg have worsened with this summer’s abundant rains. The village board and property owners are working to ﬁnd a solution.

problem will resolve itself if certain corrective actions are taken. CLEANING THE PATH AND POND Rolloff called on Burnett County Conservationist Dave Ferris to report on his visit to the site with a DNR engineer. Ferris said he and the engineer walked the site, following the natural water flow northward from the fairgrounds area toward Hwy. 70. They concluded the water is flowing in the waterway and is draining from the area, albeit at a slow rate. The trio of Ferris, the DNR engineer and Rolloff proposed a mutual effort between Anderson and the Pine Street property owners. The trio urged both sides work on their mutual properties to clear the natural waterway of plants and obstructions and increase the drainage rate. It won’t be an overnight fix, just as the problem took years to develop, Rolloff said. Both sides agree on that point. The second part of the proposed waterflow improvement would require work to the nearby drainage pond on that connects to the waterway. Although the village

and a state agency approved the holding pond construction about 25 years ago, they apparently didn’t look far into the future to declare whose job it would be to maintain the pond. Now, a quarter century later, about two feet of accumulated silt and muck have made the holding pond shallow and slower to drain its water into the subsoil. Neither Anderson, nor the village nor the state wil claim ownership. With no one stepping forward, Rolloff said the board couldn’t force Anderson to remove the muck and silt, but Anderson, who attended the meeting with his wife, Becky, said he would work with the property owners. Whether that included dredging the pond was unclear. HEATED FINALE When Rolloff finished his presentation, he declared the time allotted to discuss the matter had been used and the matter was closed. Homeowner Frank Becvar and his mother, Gladys Becvar, objected. She previously owned the house where Frank now lives and has been the homeowners’ water problem advocate going back 20 years. They said 3½ minutes remained and they intended to use it. Rolloff relented, but when the discussion grew argumentative and the time elapsed, Rolloff declared the subject closed and insisted they move their discussion to the hallway so the board could proceed to other matters. The village’s engineer from SEH Engineering joined them in the hallway, where the discussion’s volume overpowered the board meeting until someone shut the meeting room door. The two sides spoke for more than 40 minutes, but it was unclear whether they reached an agreement.

NORTH: Residents in eastern portion of county raise response-time concerns CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“We have a good crew of first responders,” Lundberg echoed. As one of the furthest towns in the service area, Austin realizes there are some unique hurdles to overcome. And that leads to his next concern. “Is North fully staffed?” he questioned. “I had heard they lost almost half of their Burnett County EMTs in the last year and a half.” He realizes some of those are retirements, but not half the staff. “I know they are hard to replace,” he admitted. “It makes me wonder if there isn’t a management issue as well as a morale issue at the heart of all of this.” And, the new EMT staff aren’t up-tospeed logistic-wise. “These new EMTs don’t know the people and they don’t know the territory,” Lundberg lamented But Chris Sybers, Chairman of the Burnett County Towns Association, the group which approved the current contract with North Ambulance, takes a dim view of the nay-sayers. “The people who are grumbling should read the contract,” he advised. “If they read the whole thing, they’d see North is doing everything in the contract.” Lundberg is a bit contentious when it comes to the contract. “Every quarter, North meets with the towns association and hands out a response time rundown — their average response time is 10 minutes,” he argued. “The response to the calls to the towns in the east part of the county are longer than 15 minutes, while the response to the calls to the towns in the west part of the county are at 10 minutes or less.” He said that average is a bone of contention. “We tried making a run from Web-

ster to A&H and could never match the time that North said it took to make the same run,” Lundberg stated. “That led me to question their times and, when asked, North said they determine when the clock starts running on response times.” He said that’s the crux of his concerns. “We live in rural America and you have to give up something when you live up here,” Lundberg admitted. “We are paying top dollar, the same as all the other towns in the county — but I really question whether we are getting the same level of service.” The current contract runs through the end of 2017. A clause in the contract indicates if either side wants out of the deal, that fact must be made known six months prior to the end of the contract. “With that clause in there, we need a signed contract extension by the end of June of next year,” Sybers pointed out. To that end, a subcommittee of the towns association has already met once to begin looking at changes they’d like to see in the document. “If the towns in the association want

changes to the current contract, it’s probably going to cost them more,” Sybers cautioned. But Austin is realistic about the situation. “It’s not like we have a lot of ambulance companies breaking down the door to get our business,” he said. At the end of the day, as town chairman, he’s just looking for the best solution for the people of Webb Lake. “My first loyalty has to be to take care of my own constituents,” he remarked. “I have a big concern for our residents — we are looking for response times which are appropriate.” Lundberg agrees. “We just need fair and equitable service,” he added. “Maybe we need to consider a full time station at A&H?” In the interest of fairness, the Burnett County Sentinel did seek an opinion for this story from North Ambulance. “As far as response times, the contract obligations state that North Memorial agrees to maintain on average, a 10 to 12 minute response time to emergency requests; worst case 30 minutes for any

location to any of the municipalities covered by the contract,” Rick Wagner, director of out-state ambulance operations for North Ambulance stated. “The term emergency service request (commonly referred to as Code 3 response) includes any response which requires the use of red lights and sirens — in all of 2015, the average Code 3 response was 10:30 and through the first six months of 2016, the average Code 3 response time was 9:59. “In reference to staffing the A&H station: When the contract was last renewed we had discussions around being able to continue to operate the A&H station as a strictly on-call basis, as it is becoming increasingly more difficult to retain an adequate number of well-qualified people living in the immediate area. “The contract outlines that every reasonable attempt will be made to staff all stations 24/7 with the understanding that, on occasion, there is the possibility that North Memorial will not be able to staff a station due to unforeseen reasons. “Further inherent problems with staffing ‘volunteer on-call’ stations make it impossible to guarantee the A&H station will be staffed 100 percent of the time and may result in the station not being covered from time to time. If any station is not staffed, coverage will be provided by the remaining staffed stations and, if needed, through mutual aid. “North Memorial Ambulance recently experienced some staff turnover but currently has almost all of their regular paid positions filled. It is well documented that many rural emergency ambulance volunteer services are in a state of crisis with few staff to cover a necessary 24/7 service to their communities.”

Fly-in, food, plane rides for kids Saturday at Grantsburg Airport BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—At its Sept. 29 meeting, the Grantsburg Village Board granted permission to a group of area pilots to host a fly-in this Saturday at the Grantsburg Municipal Airport. Events will run from 10 a.m. to late afternoon. The board gave its approval for the flyin only after confirming that the EAA Chapters active at the airport will be insuring the event. The village board said it would not be an official participant or event insurer. Among the events on Saturday are the EAA Young Eagles Program, which provides free plane rides for kids 8 to 17. Written permission and a parent/ guardian in attendance are required.

Younger kids, ages 3 to 7, will enjoy the kiddie pedal planes. A “Rusty Pilots” discussion and seminar among pilots and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) at 3 p.m. is intended for pilots who have not flown in recent years, to show them “how to get back up there.” Private pilot and AOPA member Andy Miller will attend and assist. The local pilot group also hopes to offer a safety seminar for current pilots, to brush up on how to keep safe in the skies. Eighth graders from Grantsburg Middle School will offer concessions to help fund their spring 2017 trip to Washington, D.C. Everyone is invited to come out and enjoy the local airport, talk with pilots and get questions answered.

Run Down Hunger a success

Doing their part

SIREN—The fourth annual Run Down Hunger 5K/10K Walk/Run took place on Sept. 24 at Veteran’s Park in Siren. Proceeds enabled God’s People Serving (GPS) to raise enough money to purchase three months of food. The run/walk is one of the fundraisers for the Yellow Lake Food Distribution which is sponsored by the nine local ELCA Lutheran Churches who make up GPS. The food distribution at Connections in Webster is on the third Thursday of each month. The group serves families from Burnett county and surrounding areas. Currently, they are supplying food to 550 families, a total of 1,500 people, each month. They purchase all of the food from Second Harvest Heartland of St. Paul, Minn. GPS wants to thank all the people and organizations who helped make this event a great success, including the participants who entered the event, the volunteers who made it possible, in addition to the Siren Chamber of Commerce, North Memorial Ambulance and Roy Ward and his team.

Water smartweed

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Diamond (pictured), Titanium, and Amethyst are 3½-month-old American Sta f fordshi re Terrier mix puppies that came to us as strays. All three are timid, but friendly and loving once they inch their way over to you. I was told that Diamond was the most outgoing, and she is the one Diamond I spent some time with. Although her tail was wagging, she was a little shy at first to come over to me. I sat next to her bed and little by little she made her way over to my lap; but being careful not to fully come onto my lap (half on her bed and half on Baxter my lap). Diamond was so sweet. I’m drawn to the shy ones because they aren’t jumping all over me or smothering me with licks. Of course, I fell in love with this little girl. Amethyst was being introduced to a potential adopter, so I didn’t get a chance to meet her; but I was able to meet the lone boy in the trio - Titanium. He was just as wonderful as his sister, Diamond, but even a little more subdued. All three siblings have the same coloring. The girls look almost identical. They both have one black ear and one white ear, they both have white faces, and they both have pink around their eyelids. Titanium, on the other hand, has more black on his face – with both ears and surrounding area being black. Stop by and check these pups out, but be prepared to fall in love! Baxter is a 10-year-old Beagle mix who came to us with some medical/health issues. This poor guy has a heart murmur, had a severe ear infection (treated with a deep ear flush), had a growth on his eyelid (now removed), had overgrown nails (now clipped), needed dental work (cleaning done), and is very overweight (working on that). Everyone can overlook his problems because his gentle disposition is what really stands out and shines. Like Diamond, I fell in love with Baxter, too. We don’t know what his life was like the past 10 years, but we would like to see him in a great home for his retirement years. This is a pretty laid-back fellow who seems to be okay with other cats and dogs. Because of his temperament, we think he’d be fine with all ages. Baxter enjoys walks and is good on a leash, too. Age is just a number. Even though Baxter is a senior and may not be with you as long as one of the pups, he will make an impact on you with whatever time he has to spend with you! It takes a special someone to adopt a special animal like Baxter. I know there are a lot of you out their reading my article. I have faith! If you are interested in adopting Diamond, Baxter, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

BY EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

I heard a lovely quote recently, from French philosopher Albert Camus. He wrote: “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” It seems to be a fair sentiment as golden leaves brighten cool, damp days. But fall has plenty of real flowers to brighten its days, too. In particular, I’ve been noticing a dark, stagnant pool just filled with hot pink flowers that rise above the glossy reflections of scarlet maple leaves. It’s on my way to work, so I’ve stopped a couple times with my camera when the evening light slants onto the scene with a particularly warm glow. The flowers belong to a wetland plant called water smartweed, Persicaria amphibia. Its genus name, Persicaria, refers to peaches, and was bestowed because the oblong shape of its leaves resembles those of a peach tree. Amphibia is an even more telling part of its name. Amphibious, of course, means living in both land and water. Most plants choose one or the other and specialize. Water smartweed is so canny that it can change form to thrive in either habitat. Currently, all the smartweed plants I’ve noticed when stopping to admire my roadside pool are fully aquatic. They have oblong leaves with blunt tips that float on the surface, and short, thimble-shaped clusters of shocking-pink flowers that rise above the water on smooth stems. I’m not surprised to see the aquatic form, since this particular pool rises and falls with rain events, and this summer we’ve had record precipitation. In some years, I’ve noticed this pool go almost completely dry by the end of summer. It makes sense, then, that a plant that can thrive in either a full wetland or mud would be successful here.

EMILY STONE

The hot pink ﬂowers of water smartweed brighten up many a dark autumn day.

Its success isn’t limited to Wisconsin; water smartweed is widely distributed across the country. The first time I encountered water smartweed, my graduate school botany class was tramping along the shore of Lake Champlain in Vermont. There, on the edge of the muck just barely accessible without rubber boots, we found the plant’s terrestrial form. The thick patch of smartweed stood a few feet tall on gangly stems with hairy, wavyedged, sharp-pointed leaves and long, slender flower spikes. I never would have guessed that the floating plants in my pool and that gangly patch in the mud were the same species (for many years they did have different names), but modern botany has exposed their shape-shifting secret. My definition of adaptation is “something a living thing has or does that helps it survive in its habitat.” Water smartweed adapts to both its habitats. You may think that this makes it “smart,” and it would be logical to assume that’s the source of its com-

mon name. The truth is much funnier. According to the U.S. Forest Service’s plant of the week website, “the term smartweed is thought to be a more sanitized version of the original word “arsmart” for the use of the plant in medieval times to relieve itching and swelling of the human posterior.” This hot pink flower has many ways to brighten your day… Many groups of humans throughout its wide range have found the roots, stems and leaves of water smartweed useful for medicine and its seeds useful as food. Waterfowl, marsh birds, song birds, and upland game birds also eat the seeds. In addition to those common uses, scientists have even discovered that smartweed accumulates trace amounts of gold. Perhaps that’s why these striking flowers shine so brightly in the slanting rays of the shortening days of fall. Oh, Albert…I’ve changed my mind. Autumn doesn’t need to be a “second spring.” It has treasures all its own.

WILD SIDE Beef, small farm pasture walk Oct. 8 SHELL LAKE—U.W. Extension and the NW Graziers Network invite you to a startup, small-farm, beef pasture walk at the Bob and Jane Pederson farm from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, October 8. Small, startup farms are becoming more and more common as people retire from non-farm jobs and return to the land. The Pedersons retired about five years ago, Bob from the postal service and Jane from teaching. Both are originally from farms and have degrees, Bob in economics and business, Jane a masters in education. The Pedersons own an 18-acre, grass-fed beef farm just east of Shell Lake. They have a grazing plan from NW Graziers for about 10 acres and six animal units. They bought the farm two years ago, and last year purchased three bred Red Angus cows and two calves. Washburn County Land and Water is providing cost-sharing for some of their activities. Part of the grazing is under trees. They also rent 30 acres for hay. The Pedersons plan be sustainable and grow most of their own food. They plan to direct market the steers

and sell cow/calf pairs. They do not feed grain, but grow high-quality forages including clover and alfalfa. Cows are bred with artificial insemination. Jane raises chickens. They recently installed a solar system and have established an energy bank with Xcel Energy. The trees provide shade, dry season grazing, firewood, timber, wildlife habitat and maple syrup. To reach the farm, take Cty B from Shell Lake east to the farm at W6664 on the left. Or, take Cty B west from Hwy 53 south of Spooner. Watch for the signs. For more information, contact UW-Extension Ag Agent Otto Wiegand at 715-6353506.

on a property is an important part of sustainable forest management, and can be used to estimate growth. Tentatively, a business owner will describe the economics of logging – challenges, opportunities, etc. Over lunch, we will have an informal roundtable on how other landowners are using GPS units to manage and enjoy their woodlot. Copies of My Land Handbook, a new resource from WWOA to

centrally record details about your property for family members, will be available. There is no charge for the session and owners of woodlands of any size are very welcome to attend. Please contact Bobbi Freitag at 715-354-3961 or rfreitag@uwalumni.com by October 9 if you have questions or plan to attend.

Wisconsin School Board Appreciation Week GRANTSBURG—The Wisconsin Association of School Boards has set Oct. 2-8 as Wisconsin School Board Appreciation Week as a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our communities. Grantsburg School District is joining all public school districts across the state to celebrate Wisconsin School Board Appreciation Week to honor local board members for their commitment to the Grantsburg community and its children. 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. Superintendent Joni Burgin said, “They make the tough decisions every month and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of educational program that our community expects.” 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;

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 year-round commitment. The members serving our district and their years of service are as follows: Christine Erickson – 22 years, Cindy Jensen – 17 years, Russell Erickson – 12 years, Dave Dahlberg – 12 years, Jason Burkman – 6 years total, Dan Ohnstad – 3 years, Josh Prusinski – 1 year.

Pirates sail to 42-0 Homecoming win BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates had their last home game of the regular season on Friday, wrapping up their 100 years of GHS football recognition while celebrating Homecoming as well in front of a huge crowd of Pirate fans. The team played inspired football all night and put on a show for the crowd as they crushed the Cameron Comets in a 42-0 shutout to advance their record to 7-0 on the season. Grantsburg’s defense had five takeaways in this game— they recovered three fumbles and picked off two passes, one of them for a touchdown. “We regained a little focus this week and it showed as the defense did their job all night and the offense made enough plays to keep drives going and finish with touchdowns,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “We had some costly penalties and mistakes early on that killed some momentum and we need to clean that up down the stretch.” Grantsburg got on the board midway through the first quarter after Austin Olson recovered a fumble by the Comets on a punt. Two plays later, John Chenal ran the ball in from 13 yards out for the Pirates’ first score. Avery Fagerberg kicked the point after to go up 7-0. The Pirates stepped on the gas in the second quarter as they added 21 points. On the first play of the quarter, John Chenal pounded it in from one yard out for the score. Again, Fagerberg booted the point after. The next score was a Fagerberg pass to Leo Chenal from five yards away. Fagerberg added the point after to make it a 21-0 game. With just under two minutes remaining in the first half, John Chenal picked off a Cameron pass and took it 95 yards for the touchdown. At the break, the Pirates held a commanding 28-0 lead. Grantsburg added 14 points to their total in the second half. A oneyard scamper by Fagerberg in the third quarter put them up 35-0. In the fourth, the Pirates’ Tanner Berger recovered another Comet fumble, and on the next play Luke

This was a common scene on Friday as Cameron’s QB Victor Martinez is swarmed by the Pirate defense. Here, Avery Fagerberg (14), John Chenal and Austin Bowman come together to take down Martinez in the backﬁeld.

Anderson took it to the house from 45 yards out on a quarterback keeper for the final score. The Pirate offense was rolling this game, but it was the defense that put on a spectacular show for the fans. They held the Comets to just 103 yards of total offense while racking up the five takeaways. It was a frustrating night for the Cameron QB with the Pirates’ pressure and constant presence of Austin Bowman and Nick Larsen in the backfield. Tackling leaders for the Pirates were John Chenal with six solo tackles and five assists. Fagerberg had five solos and five assists. Nick Larsen ended the top list with four solos and two assists. Pirate offensive leaders were Dakota Schultz, going four of seven in the air for 83 yards. John Chenal

had 140 yards on the ground. “Nick Larsen and Austin Bowman had great nights rushing the QB and kept constant pressure on Cameron’s passing attack,” Hale said. “At the linebacker spot, John Chenal and Avery Fagerberg did a nice job of tackling in space and playing physical football. “It really was a great way to celebrate Homecoming night for our 100th year of Pirate Football in front of a tremendous crowd. Our community support has been terrific and I know it means a lot for our team to play at home in front of our fans. It was great to get everybody some playing time in a Homecoming game.” The Pirates make the long trek to Tony on Friday night to take on the Flambeau Falcons in a conference match-up. Game time is 7 p.m.

WEBSTER—“I thought the boys played hard all night,” praised Tiger Coach Andy Smith after the 20-6 loss to St. Croix Falls on Friday night. “I was pleased with the way they responded from the Cameron game last week. St. Croix Falls is a very physical team and our boys didn’t back down.” The first quarter was scoreless for both squads. St. Croix started the scoring in the second frame at the 1:27 mark on a four yard run by Alex Johnson. The point-after-touchdown failed and that was all the scoring to be done in the first half. Quarter three saw the Saints tack on another score, this one a 22 yard run by Johnson. Brandon Bastin kicked the extra point and St. Croix then led 13-0. Early in the last quarter, the Saints pushed another score in at 6:27 on a 30 yard run by Johnson. Again Bastin’s PAT was good and the Saints were up 20-0. Webster was not to be denied and less than four minutes later, Trenton Wols caught a 37 yard touchdown pass from Trevor Gustafson. The two point conversion failed and the game ended just over two minutes later. Gustafson was eight for 14 in passing, good for 89 yards and one touchdown. Frank DeBlase rushed 21 times for 67 yards, Gustafson seven times for ten yards and Jameson Matrious three times for 12 yards. Matrious caught two passes for 33 yards, Wols one for 37 and the touchdown, and Jordan Larson grabbed two passes for 19 yards. Defensively, Larson had 13 total tackles, Ross Daniels, Wols and DeBlase tallied eight apiece for the Tigers. Said Coach Smith, “We need to improve ball security and clean up the penalties to have a chance to win games against teams like St. Croix Falls.” The Tigers host Mondovi on Friday night. Game time is 7 p.m.

Lady Pirates win at St. Croix ST. CROIX FALLS—With only four complete teams racing at St. Croix Falls on Thursday, the Lady Pirates came away with another first place finish. Even though a gal from Flambeau won the meet, the gals in purple finished two, three and four to secure the win. Grace Gerber (2), Hallie Jensen (3) and Brittanie Blume (4) led the way for Grantsburg, crossing the line in 21:10.66,

21:32.25 and 21:36.75, respectively. Danielle Bertelsen (16) was next across the line for the Pirates, posting a time of 24:07.66, followed by Maddie Duncan (19) in 24:30.47. Teammates Hope McKinley (20), Susan Roberts (39), Holly Fiedler (40), and Alyssa Swenson (47) also ran for the Pirates, posting times of 24:35.12, 28:50.31, 28:53, and 38:53.94, respectively.

BOYS As they have on numerous occasions this season, the Pirates boys team took second behind a strong Unity Eagles team. Joe Duncan (6) and David MacKean (7) were the first Grantsburg boys to cross the line, posting times of 19:12.61 and 19:16.55. Teammates Joe Ohnstad (11) and

Chris Hermann (17) were next across the line at 19:50.02 and 20:37.13. The final scorer for the Pirates was Jared Lee (25), who posted a time of 21:09.60. Other Pirate boys crossing the line included Connor DeTienne (30), Trevor Vollendorf (33), and Sven Johnson (40) in times of 21:12.02, 21:44.46, and 22:23.12, respectively. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel Sports

Luck ‘ﬁnds spots’ to beat Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—“We had some great, long rallies tonight, but Luck managed to find weak spots in defense,” lamented Webster Tiger volleyball coach Stefanie Janssen following the 3-0 loss at Luck on Thursday night. The game scores for Luck were 25-14, 25-18 and 2511. In game one, Webster stayed close to the Cardinals, eventually tying the game at 11, but then Luck went on a 7-0 run before Skyler Winkler made a kill to make it 18-12, Luck. A block by Taylor Howe kept the Webster hopes alive at 24-14, but a hard hit by Lindsay Mattson finished the game for Luck. The second game was tied at seven when Luck went ahead to stay on an ace by Isabelle Jensen. Webster never got closer than one the remainder of the game as Luck went on to get the win. After a tie at two, Luck powered their way for the win in game three. On the night, Taylor Howe had four kills, three blocks, two aces and three assists. Skyler Winkler tallied 10 digs, two kills and an ace. Sophie Phernetton had three kills, a block and two digs. Kaitlyn Lee led the team in assists with eight, also getting two digs. “Our passing game was just off tonight,” concluded the coach, “which led to a less aggressive offense at the net.” Webster is at St. Croix Falls on Thursday night, hosts Cumberland next Monday and is hosting Unity on Tuesday.

Pirates go 3-1 at New Richmond NEW RICHMOND—The Grantsburg Pirates participated in the New Richmond Volleyball tournament on Saturday, coming out with a 3-1 record. Grantsburg defeated Baldwin-Woodville 2-1, Altoona 2-0 and Rice Lake 2-1. They lost to Eau Clare North 2-1. “We play great in the morning, (starting out against Baldwin-Woodville),” said Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson,” and we got a 25-10 set win, clearing most of the bench and playing pretty crisp. Then we pulled the old Jekyll/Hyde routine and lost a squeaker in the second set 22-25. We regrouped and finished the third set 15-5. “Altoona is a good team. They have a great coach. They are always competitive. They are state-ranked in D2. They are quick and athletic. They have a great college recruit in Kristi Springer, who glides across the court making her smooth, powerful play look absolutely effortless. I was secretly feeling like it was an accomplishment to just hang with them, but the Pirates decided to defeat them. Twice. 25-23, 25-21.” Against Eau Claire North, “We came out extremely flat. We had our worst serve-receive performance of the entire season. Do we attribute that to EC’s dominance or our weakness? Maybe a little of both. “Both teams demonstrated inconsistency. We lost big. We won big. Then we kind of limped through the third set with a few spurts of awesome. “We had a squeaker win vs. Rice Lake at the sprawl in August and another squeaker win at this tournament. We started off great again, winning 25-12. Then once again fell apart and lost 15-25. We had a good lead in the third set, then faltered, then hung on for the win. “The highs are high and the lows are low and we are still striving for a day of solid, consistent high level physical, mental, emotional effort at tournaments. But I believe we are capable of better than we have shown at times. “Overall, we passed better in the morning and hit better (or at least more effectively) in the afternoon. We

served better in the morning. We faced great competition, improved our conditioning level, pushed through fatigue and played hard to win.”

Luck wins, breaks tie with Siren BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—In a battle of neighbors and playoff implications, the Luck Cardinals defeated the Siren Dragons 54-26 on Friday night. “Luck is a good football team,” complimented Siren coach Ryan Karsten. “They run hard, we run hard. “We had some mental mistakes. The two fumbles we had hurt us. They could have been two scores for us.” The Cardinals kicked off to start the contest and held the Dragons, taking over on downs. On the first play from scrimmage, Luck’s Casey Ogilvie ran 35 yards for the first score of the game. The two-point conversion failed, but Luck was up 6-0 at the 10 minute mark. On the ensuing kickoff, Siren drove downfield and from the Luck 20, Brady Mangen took it in for the score. Their two-point conversion also failed, Siren 6, Luck 6. Siren kicked off and the Cardinals moved the ball and from the Siren 25, Alex Warren scored. Austin Hamack ran the two-point conversion. Luck moved ahead 14-6. The Dragons got to the Luck 37 before the drive stalled and the Cardinals took over. Shortly after the exchange of possessions, the first quarter ended. On the first play of the second quarter, from the Siren seven yard line, Hamack

ran the ball in for six. The two-point conversion by Warren was good. Luck 22, Siren 6. The Dragons were not to be denied, however. A 12-play, 54-yard drive culminated in a Brady Mangen four-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion failed, but Siren had narrowed the gap to 22-12. Luck fumbled on the kickoff and the Dragons recovered on the Luck 28. Four plays later, Dolan Highstrom scored for Siren. A pass from Highstrom to Tanner Lee completed the two-point play and the Dragons now trailed by two, 22-20. The air went out of Siren momentarily when, on the first play after the kickoff, Luck’s Austin Hamack broke through the Siren defensive line and rambled 50 yards for a score. The conversion failed and Siren trailed 28-20. Luck held on the Dragon’s next possession and took over on their own 33. Ten plays later saw the Cardinals poised on the Siren eight yard line. On a questionable play, the Cardinals scored. The two point conversion failed and Luck was up 34-20, a two-score rather than a onescore game at the half, as well as a momentum changer. The Cardinals took the second half kickoff and were on their way to another score when they fumbled and Siren recovered in the end zone. Siren started at their 15, couldn’t move the chains and muffed a punt, giving Luck possession at the Siren 21.

end of the third on an eight-yard run by Hamack and the other in the fourth on a three-yard plunge by Warren. “The kids played a heck of a game, but the two losses we had were winnable games. We just didn’t come with our ‘A’ game,” concluded the coach. Siren hosts Ely, MN on Friday night with a 6 p.m. starting time.

Grantsburg Cassidy Lee goes up for a block against Webster’s Makena Buffington (12) during the Pirates’ win over the Tigers last week.

WEBSTER—It was Homecoming week in Webster, with the Tigers Volleyball hosting the Grantsburg Pirates on Tuesday, Sept. 27 and hoping for a victory. But, despite a valiant effort and the support of a great student section decked out in beach bum attire, the Pirates were just too much for the Tigers, taking this one 3-0 by scores of 25-8, 25-17 and 25-18. Grantsburg jumped out to an early lead in the first set and never looked back as they sailed to 25-8. “We started out strong. We served tough: 6 aces in the first set. We hit hard: 12 kills in the first set,” Pirates Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. In the second set, the Tigers tightened up, played tough defense and became much more aggressive on their offensive attack. They fed the ball to power hitter Taylor Howe who put down booming hits on the Pirates’ side of the floor. Grantsburg was able to hang on for a 25-17 win to go up 2-0. The third set was a back-and-forth battle, with the Pirates coming away with the 25-18 win.

“Everyone contributed to the win. We hit .370 as a team. Setters did a great job,” Allaman-Johnson said of the third set. “We still made great defensive plays. We never had to call a timeout, because the team pulled it together on the court on their own. We had nine ace serves and smartly placed tips.” Rhiana Pochman led the Pirates with 11 kills. Kenna Johnson tallied eight, followed by Cassidy Lee with seven. Lee had a great night at the net with three blocks. Johnson was next with two, followed by Pochman and Britta Roufs with one each. For the Tigers, it was Howe leading the way with 10 kills. Sophie Phernetton racked up five kills on the night with Sklyer Winkler and Victoria Tyndall recording one each. Howe also led the Tigers in blocks with three, while Phernetton and Makena Buffington had one each. Kaitlyn Lee was the assist leader with seven. The Tigers will travel to St. Croix Falls to take on a tough Saints squad on Thursday, while the Pirates will head to Siren. Both games begin at 7:15 p.m.

Pirates cruise past Vikings BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Pirates Volleyball hosted a young Frederic Vikings squad on Thursday, with the Pirates cruising to a 3-0 sweep. Set scores were 25-1, 26-16 and 25-11. “The Frederic volleyball coaches and athletes are to be commended for their hard work, great sportsmanship, determination and perseverance,” Pirates Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “It is difficult to be in rebuilding mode with a young team, but it looks like the fans are very supportive, and everyone has a positive and enthusiastic attitude. This will pay off.” Everyone on the Pirate roster saw court time and contributed to the win. Senior leader Rhiana Pochman had the hot hand, putting down 12 kills on the night. Britta Roufs had four, Cassidy Lee had three and Tymber King tallied two kills. Randi Siebenthal was tough from behind the service line, recording nine aces. Claire Palmquist and King each had three aces as well. Libero Jenna McNally led the way in digs with nine, followed by Siebenthal with five and Rachel Glover with three. “I appreciate an opportunity to give court time to the athletes on our team who spend just as much time and put in just as much effort as our starters,” the coach added. “Everyone did a great job. We worked 14 differ-

ent people through the lineup, including freshman Olivia Ohnstad, who made her varsity debut and showed a lot of confidence and poise.”

Trophy long time in coming

STACY COY| SENTINEL

Grantsburg wrapped up its season-long celebration of 100 years of Pirate football with a trophy ceremony prior to the start of Friday’s Homecoming game. The Pirates were champions of the Polk-Burnett League in 1916, but never received a trophy. Accepting the trophy were Superintendent Joni Burgin and High School Principal Josh Watt (upper left). Also participating in the ceremony were (left, front) Gene Olson, who played on the 1941 and 1942 championship teams, and Merlin Johnson, who was a coach during the 1950s. Back: Burgin, Watt, GHS Athletic Director Mike Amundson and local historian Clayton Jorgenson. Above, GHS alumni cheerleaders led the Homecoming crowd in the school song during halftime.

28 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

WORSHIP

OCTOBER 5, 2016

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

The gift of a compliment Recently I was reading story about a grade school teacher who wrote 10 simple math equations with the answers on the chalk board. The class began to laugh and point out to the teacher that she got one of the equations wrong. The teacher then addressed the class by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You noticed the one that I got wrong, but you failed to mention the nine correct answers.â&#x20AC;? She went on to tell the class that the purpose of her exercise was not about math, but a look into the mind of human nature.

Why is it that we are so quick to point out faults, but so slow to lift up the good? I know firsthand how receiving a compliment can play a huge role in improving someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self esteem. I was a short chubby kid in middle school and I had a pretty low view of myself. I enjoyed gym class, but I never stood out at much we did in class. One day we were playing indoor field hockey and I found I had a knack for making accurate passes. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe when the teach-

er stopped the action and praised me for my play in front of the entire class. In the big picture of life it was no big deal, but to this low-self-esteemed middle school kid, it meant the world. I am now closer to 60 than 50 and I still remember that day in the gym like it was yesterday. As Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, let us build one another up rather than tear one another down. This may not be the way of the world but I fully believe it is the way of God. Above all, let us love one another as God has first loved us.

‘Breast cancer is no longer a death sentence’ Survivor: Mary Roen - Grantsburg Cancer free: Since 2013 BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—“The word ‘cancer’ is frightening, but people need to know it isn’t a death sentence,” Mary Roen declared. “It is so treatable, especially if it’s caught early.” If diagnosed, she said taking things day-by-day is one of the best ways to beat the disease. “Listen to what you need to do, follow through and don’t be so afraid of the cancer,” she related. “I went through this three years ago and am doing everything now that I was doing before.” Fortunately, in her own case, Roen said her cancer was caught fairly early and was treatable. “I found a lump in my breast in Janu-

ary 2013,” she explained. Sharing the news with her medical provider, she was urged to have a mammogram. “I had had a mammogram not too long before, but I went ahead and had another, but nothing showed up,” Roen continued. Rightly concerned, she scheduled an ultrasound. From there, it was to the Piper Breast Cancer Center at Abbott-Northwestern in Minneapolis for a biopsy, which confirmed the news. “It was Stage I and it was invasive,” she recalled. Invasive means it spread a little more so it couldn’t be handled through a lumpectomy — she had to have a mastectomy. “It all went pretty quickly,” she pointed out. “By Valentines Day, I was having my surgery.”

She went a step further and had a double mastectomy. “It was so awful when I first got the news, I felt like I didn’t want to go through this again,” Roen reasoned. The surgery wasn’t the end of her ep-

isode. “According to the testing they do, you learn whether you need further treatment — either chemotherapy, radiation or both,” Roen lamented. “After testing the tumor, they told me it wasn’t what they hoped for and told me I would need chemotherapy.” She can laugh about it now, but it seemed like what could go wrong did go wrong. “I kept thinking the lump isn’t going to be anything but that didn’t happen, then I was thinking I’m not going to have to have a mastectomy and that didn’t happen,” she said with a laugh. “Finally, I was telling myself I wouldn’t have to have chemo, but that didn’t happen either.” But she took the news with a grain of salt. “As soon as they told me I’d need chemo, I looked at my husband and said ‘Let’s do this,’” she remembered. But there was a little bravado in her willingness to proceed. “My oncologist wanted to know what SEE ROEN, PAGE 32

Guide to the mastectomy procedure A breast cancer diagnosis is something no one wants to receive. Dealing with any form of cancer can be overwhelming, but a breast cancer diagnosis can be particularly challenging, especially when physicians recommend mastectomy to their patients. The Mayo Clinic notes that mastectomy is an umbrella term used to describe several different procedures. While it’s largely thought of as removing one or both breasts, mastectomy may also refer to removing lymph nodes under the arms. Lumpectomy is another word that may come up when physicians discusss treatment options with patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Lumpectomies occur when a tumor and surrounding tissue is removed, but most of the breast is left intact. For reasons that are not entirely understood, Susan G. Komen reports that rates of some types of mastectomies are on the rise. A unilateral mastectomy is the removal of one breast, and a bilateral mastectomy is the removal of both breasts. However, a woman may choose to have a healthy breast removed as a preventative measure called a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, or CPM. Susan G. Komen says that rates of CPM have been steadily on the rise, and women choosing to undergo the procedure tend to be young and well educated. Any mastectomy has its share of risks that women must weigh against the benefits. Doctors or nurses will explain the procedure before patients enter the operating room. Surgical plans may differ depending on whether a modified radical mastectomy, simple mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy, or nipple-sparing mastectomy will be performed. A mastectomy procedure typically lasts up to three hours, but it may take longer if reconstruction of the breast is part of the surgery.

Mastectomy is usually performed under general anesthesia, so patients will need to arrange for transportation home from the hospital. Many women find they can go home the same day of the procedure, though women should discuss their options with their physicians ahead of the surgery. Incisions will be closed with sutures after the surgery is completed. In some cases, a plastic drainage tube will be inserted where the breast was removed. This tube helps clear away any fluids that accumulate after the surgery. Women may feel some pain, numbness and pinching sensations in the surgical area. There will be a bandage over the site, and instructions will be given on caring for the wound and changing the dressing. It’s important to keep in mind that some of side effects of mastectomy procedures are permanent and irreversible, whether or not a person undergoes reconstruction. Removing breast tissue eliminates the ducts that produce milk, so breastfeeding will not be possible after surgery. Also, the breast and much of the surrounding area may remain numb due to nerves that are severed when breast tissue is removed. How much sensation returns varies from woman to woman. Women can direct any questions they have regarding wearing bras or breast prosthetics to their surgical teams. Mastectomy is a common treatment option for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Although mastectomy may seem scary, women can rest assured that many have been there before them and there is a wealth of information available to assuage their fears.

ROEN: Back to living a complete life after three-plus cancer-free years CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31

it was about chemotherapy that bothered me,” she noted. “I told him I didn’t want to be sick, I didn’t want to be weak and I didn’t want to be bald.” But that’s what chemotherapy does and her doctor told her as much. “He told me I would be sick, he told me I would be weak and he told me I would be bald,” Roen continued. “It puts you down — they are putting things in your body which just shouldn’t be in there.” She had four rounds of chemotherapy with three weeks in between each round. “It almost became routine,” she explained. “I’d have my chemo, I’d be down for a couple days, I’d go back to work and by the third week, I was pretty much back to normal.” Her short-term disability insurance would have allowed her to stay home, but she was having none of that. “It was good mental health therapy for me,” Roen remarked of returning to work at Burnett Medical

Center. “I didn’t want to just sit and think about it — I wanted to stay busy.” Her treatments were like clockwork. “The day I had the treatment I’d be okay, the second day I was a little down and by the third and four days, I was just waiting for it be over,” she explained. “But I could tell the minute I was recovering — I told my husband I could feel my strength coming back.” After her four sessions of chemotherapy, it has been pretty fair sailing for Roen. “I’m doing well and I told myself I wasn’t going to worry about it,” she observed. Prior to 2013, there was no history of breast cancer in her family. “I started a history,” she laughed nervously. With a daughter, she’s obviously worried. “I told her to start her mammograms early and told her to make sure she tells her doctor that her mom had breast cancer,” Roen explained.

She takes a daily hormone-blocker until the summer of 2018 and sees her oncologist every six months but notes that her prognosis is good. “My doctor told me I had a pretty good possibility of never having breast cancer again,” Roen noted. In her case, as in most, a positive mental outlook has been instrumental in beating her bout with breast cancer. “A lot of family support and good friends — my friends here at BMC were phenomenal in helping me stay upbeat,” she recalled. “We took it all one day at a time.” Advice? “Know your body,” Roen concluded. “If you know your body well, you will know during your monthly self-exams if something isn’t right — and I knew right away.”

The risk factors for breast cancer Cancer is a formidable foe. Among women, no cancer poses a greater threat than breast cancer, which the World Health Organization reports is the most often diagnosed cancer both in the developed and developing worlds. Gaining a greater understanding of breast cancer may not prevent the onset of this disease that kills hundreds of thousands of women each year, but it might increase the chances of early detection, which can greatly improve women’s chances of survival. The following are the established risk factors for breast cancer.

• Age: The American Cancer Society notes that about two out of every three invasive breast cancers are found in women ages 55 and older, whereas just one out of every eight invasive breast cancers are found in women younger than 45. The WHO notes that instances of breast cancer are growing in developing countries, citing longer life expectancies as one of the primary reasons for that increase. • Family history: According to the WHO, a family history of breast cancer increases a woman’s risk factor by two or three. Women who have had one first-degree female relative, which includes sisters, mothers and daughters, diagnosed with breast cancer are at double the risk for breast cancer than women without such family histories. The risk of developing breast cancer is five times greater for women who have two first-degree relatives who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. • Menstrual history: Women who began menstruating younger than age 12 have a higher risk of developing breast cancer later in life than women who began menstruating after their twelfth birthdays. The earlier a woman’s breasts form, the sooner they are ready to interact with hormones and chemicals in products that are hormone disruptors. Longer interaction with hormones and hormone disruptors increases a woman’s risk for breast cancer. • Lifestyle choices: A 2005 comparative risk assessment of nine behaviors and environmental factors published in the U.K. medical journal The Lancet found that 21 percent of all breast cancer deaths across the globe are attributable to alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity and physical inactivity. Women can do nothing to control breast cancer risk factors like gender, age and family history, but making the right lifestyle choices, including limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight and living an active lifestyle, can reduce the likelihood that they will develop breast cancer.
