Suspects apprehended after county break-ins

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Sunday was a busy day for law enforcement officers as two suspects from Siren went on a short crime spree.

The day began when Burnett County deputies responded at 9:25 a.m. to a report of a burglary in progress at a commercial building on 4th Street South in the Village of Siren — the former Capeside Cove facility.

The suspects were seen fleeing the area on foot as deputies arrived.

No official details were released about what actions the thieves took in the building.

At 11:22 a.m., a burglary to a residence was reported on Long Lake Lane in the Town of Siren, in which the victim stated that two firearms and ammunition were taken. Deputies searched for the suspects in a wooded area north of the victim’s residence and requested additional assistance.

Responding to the plea, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office responded with addition-

ATV route approval on hold

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—For the time being, ATV enthusiasts in the Webb Lake area will have to wait to legally ride on Co. Rd. H from Webb Lake to Highway 77.

Even though the county’s infrastructure committee approved the route requests the Town of Webb Lake had submitted, one route from Bear Lake into Webb Lake and a second from Bear Lake to Hwy. 77, that approval is simply a recommendation which must be voted on by the entire county board of supervisors.

“That was an issue — the request was recommended so people thought it was approved,” Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, pointSEE ATV, PAGE 6

al deputies and a K-9 unit, and the Barron County Sheriff’s Office responded with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to assist in tracking.

Then at 2:13 p.m., the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a male and female matching the suspects’ description knocking on the door of a residence on Lone Star Road in the Town of Siren; this location is approximately one mile northeast of the area where the suspects had last been seen.

Deputies responded to the residence and arrested the suspects without incident.

Jesse Lee Stener, 30, and Rose E. Peloquin, 31, both of Siren, are being held in the Burnett County Jail and are expected to face burglary and drug-related charges.

The firearms stolen in the residential burglary on Long Lake Lane were recovered and returned to the victim.

This incident remains under investigation, and no further information is being released at this time.

SIREN—When Burnett County Circuit Court Judge Ken Kutz bangs his gavels at the close of business on Nov. 23, it’ll not only close an early work week, it’ll bring an end to Kutz’s 33-plus year career serving the residents of Burnett County — 25 years as district attorney and eight-plus years as judge.

“It’s been a great ride — I’ve really enjoyed my time here,” Judge Kutz said. “It’s been a privilege and an honor to serve the people of Burnett County.”

One of his goals when he took over on the bench was to continue the work of the county’s drug and alcohol court program.

“That is a program which started under Judge Gableman and has done an absolutely wonderful job, and I wanted to make sure we continued the good work,” Judge Kutz remarked.

He counts the drug court graduations as a highlight of his time on the bench.

The drug court is one of the tools the judge has used to attempt to lower recidivism in the county.

TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

Judge Ken Kutz will retire at the end of November.

“I haven’t used it as much as I would have liked, but I did develop a community service program with the jail to reduce the jail population,” the judge noted.

He admits he didn’t get everything accomplished he would’ve hoped.

“There’s a lot I wish I could have accomSEE KUTZ, PAGE 6

Siren School Board wants full impact aid

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—The Siren School Board took steps at its meeting last week, by adopting two resolutions, to angle for an extra $420,000 in impact aid for the 2016-17 school year.

Impact aid is a federal program which started in 1950 with the aim of compensating school districts for the loss of tax revenue from exempt federal land within its boundary, such as Indian land — even if children who attend school in the district reside there.

“We are only getting 27 percent of what we should be getting,” member Mark Pettis shared with the rest of the board. “We are entitled to $591,000 per year and are only getting $159,000.”

He said it isn’t right.

“It’s tantamount to me saying I’ll only pay 27 percent of my taxes and the taxation authority just has to deal with it,” he reasoned.

He said the request is only fair.

“All we are asking is for the state to put all schools on a level playing field,” Pettis said.

Pettis said Siren is one of 23 districts in the state which are all in the same boat.

“We’ve sent this resolution (Resolution 1) to those schools in hopes they’ll be supportive,” he explained. “All we are asking is that the state fills the void.”

That caught the attention of fellow board members.

“You’re asking the state to honor the federal aid money the feds are not paying?” member Duane Emery questioned.

A reasonable question, but Pettis explained that was the reasoning behind Resolution 2.

“Resolution 2 asks the state legislature to ask Congress to fully fund impact aid,” Pettis said.

There’s no guarantee delegates to the WASB Convention in January will even vote on the resolutions as the documents adopted by the school board are going to a WASB committee for consideration to place the vote on the convention agenda.

NEW FOOTBALL FIELD If all goes according to plan, the Dragons will be playing their home football games for the 2017 season on a new field.

“What we would like to do is build a new football field without using taxpayer dollars,” Peggy Moore, board president, explained. “To that end, we appointed member Duane Emery at the

July meeting to head a committee to look for grants and private money.”

Apparently he’s had success.

“I’ve secured two grants and we are working on preliminary drawing of a new field with a new track around it,” Emery pointed out. “I hope to get all the private donors and grants lined up by January — I’d like to have this (fundraising) done by spring.”

The board will meet in closed session in October to further discuss the plan.

“We’ve had several private donors who’ve said they will put up X-amount if the school can find the rest — plus the donors want to remain anonymous,” Moore stated.

The current field, while playable, has issue. Basically, it was built on a treestump infested swamp and has evidence of severe settling and even sink holes.

“We have moved the field to the west to alleviate the problem. So far this year, the Dragons have only two home games scheduled on that field,” Moore remarked. “Plus, we are having officials walk the field before each home game to make sure it is safe for the athletes to play on.”

In other business: • The roof of the school, in need of close

to $300,000 in repairs, was subject of debate.

According to Superintendent Kevin Shetler, if the district enacted Act 32, a statute which would allow the school to exceed revenue limits in order to fix its roof, there would be a one-time $72 tax levy increase per $100,000 of property.

Most board members saw that as untenable.

“I don’t want to see the school extend its debt, but we will have a meeting to explore all of the options — including refinancing,” Moore clarified.

That meeting, not yet set, will be open to the public.

The school’s debt, including the building of the auditorium, is set to be paid off in full in 2019.

• Because there are more than 30 girls out for the sport, the board approved a “C” squad for the volleyball team, as long as eight matches are guaranteed.

“The parents of these kids just want to see them play,” member Georgia Cederberg shared with the board.

• In closed session, the board approved Jensen Anderson as the JV volleyball coach, approved posting the C squad coaching position, and posted for an advisor for the Dragon’s Den.

AUGUST 31, 2016

Getting older It was hard not to take it personally when two people during the same week asked if I am a senior citizen.

Granted, we all get there at some point and these two didn’t know me from Adam, so it was easy to excuse their questioning — heck, they were trying to save me money.

But, what was it about me that made them ask in the first place?

Has my hair gotten that much grayer and I hadn’t noticed?

Are those lines on my face wrinkles, and not evidence of character-building experiences like my mom assured me? Both instances occurred when we were in or near Glacier National Park in Montana — maybe I Seems to look older at higher elevation?

I just said “No” when quesMe tioned about my senior status the personnel at the entry Todd Beckmann by station to the park and we ended up buying an annual pass to the park at $45.

However, by the time we made it to Shopko in Whitefish, I had wizened up in my old age and asked the clerk what age qualified.

When the clerk said “50,” I about dropped my teeth.

The senior discount amounted to 15 percent off our entire purchase — so much for haggling about the price of a paperback book I snagged from the “up-to 80-percent-off” display.

Now, I only shop at Shopko a handful of times during the year, but the episode at Whitefish makes me curious —was it a Montana-thing or is it storewide policy?

I’m sure it’s storewide, but in my 30 or so visits to a Shopko since I hit their magic number, no clerk has ever asked if I was a senior.

Of course, I never asked if I qualified — I guess that’s something I’ll start having to remember to do whenever I go somewhere. Like when we went to the movies last weekend — could we have gotten out of the $7.50 ticket and into something cheaper?

But I digress — back to Shopko.

Maybe I should collect all of the receipts from my Shopko visits in the last five-plus years and take them in to see if I can get a retroactive refund?

No, no — don’t just dismiss it out-of-hand.

Let’s figure six visits in each of the years since I turned 50 — that’s 30-plus visits, but for the sake of easier math, we’ll call it 30 visits.

I’m not a spend-thrift when it comes to shopping — like they say “You can’t take it with you.”

I know some of my bills have been large — and I’m talking “fill the car to the brim” kind of shopping while others have just been for a pack of batteries, a can of cat food and a bottle of laundry detergent.

Let’s not squabble. I’ll say the average total has been $50.

Over 30 visits, that’s $1,500 — a surprise in its own right.

But if they were to grant me my 15 percent discount retroactively, that’s $150 back into my pocket.

I know it seems like there’s been a push for brand loyalty these days, but what would that say about Shopko — that they were willing to go to such extremes to satisfy one customer?

Who knows, I might even name my first grandchild “Shopko.”

BURNETT COUNTY

The last dance It’s all over now.

Summer doesn’t officially end for about a month, but this weekend marks the “unofficial” end of the fun. Labor Day weekend is the last chance for many to get out and enjoy a final trip, last project or simply enjoy an extra day off before the routine of autumn begins.

Moving to this area from Iowa four years ago, I From the was astonished Publisher’s by the beauty of where we live. I Desk had never before Tom Stangl seen so many picturesque lakes, forests and streams in my life. I witnessed the beauty of the bald eagle from afar, but had never seen one close up.

I still will slow down or stop when I see a bald eagle. I am happy to say that I have seen many during my time living here, as well as deer and fox.

I can understand why so many are drawn to our area to simply commune with nature and find the simple tranquility of a slower pace and the natural healing of mother nature’s embrace.

Through work, I have had the opportunity to stay at nearby resorts for several days this year. Resorts

of all sizes are a feature of our communities that many simply take for granted, or don’t know of their existence.

These sanctuaries for humans have been around for many years, run by dedicated people who share a love of nature and the area.

Some have kept a very rustic look, while others have blended the old with the new in providing opportunities such as sailing, boating and even wireless internet access.

The great thing about these resorts is that they offer a way for people who don’t live here, or who don’t have access to opportunities such as boating, to experience the joys of time in the outdoors without making the substantial investment in property and equipment.

This is a marvelous service and opens the eyes and minds of people to the wonders and opportunities that many of us simply take for granted.

I don’t have empirical evidence to support the claim, but I imagine there have been many people who have either relocated to our area, or come here on a regular basis, to “get away from it all” for a brief time.

Sometimes, these getaways can improve a person’s disposition, lower their blood pressure and perhaps even save a life or a marriage.

Other times, a deeper bond is forged, one that can lead to multiple

generations returning to our area to enjoy the beauty and abundance of nature.

These connections can even result in economic opportunity when people become so enamored with our area that they choose to move here or in rarer cases relocate their businesses in our communities.

It has been said that a dollar spent in our community is re-spent as many as seven times before leaving.

A product or service is purchased and the money is spent on payroll.

The employee then purchases something and the money is reinvested again, until ultimately it is spent at a firm that has little to no ties in the community or is spent out of town.

This ripple effect on our economy has been studied numerous times, is real and can be influenced by the friendliness of the natives.

So, when we have visitors come to call this weekend, please make them feel welcome. It is more important than you know.

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.

To the Editor: How much more damage can we do to our public schools? The Republicans have been hard at work since 2011.

They demonized teachers, stole their voice and diminished their earning prospects. They cut over $1.2 billion from total school aid to schools. They capped school district’s total tax levy. School districts have been forced to the ballot box just to keep the lights on – at least 25 referenda this year alone.

Those same people that funneled taxpayer dollars away from Milwaukee schools and gave it to private and corporate voucher schools in that city now have their sights on our rural schools. As voucher schools proliferate into our area, our local schools will lose even more funding, as the dollars that once came to rural public schools are now diverted to those private, corporate schools.

Consider this: the voucher payment set for the upcoming school year, $7,323 - $7,896 per student, is more than the current level of state aid for all but two districts in the 10th Senate District, which includes all of the 28th Assembly District. As the enrollment caps on voucher schools increase over the next ten years, the amount of public funds on the table will be so large that opening shiny new flyby-night “achievement academies” becomes a smart business decision.

Neither Rep. Jarchow or Sen. Harsdorf have stood up for our public schools. They voted with their Republican majority to gut public education again and again. Who are they working for? It certainly isn’t for us or our kids. Could it be for those who plan to profit from charter schools?

Purporting to tell a “more expansive” story of school funding in Wisconsin, Senator Leah Vukmir, the Senate Republican Assistant Majority Leader, issued a press release and Legislative Fiscal Bureau memo earlier last week that exposes a truth Republicans would rather ignore: the burden of Republican budget cuts is falling squarely on the shoulders of local property taxpayers.

According to the LFB memo Vukmir released, overall state aid for schools fell by $90 per student since the budget Republicans enacted in 2011 took effect. It also shows that local property taxpayers made up the difference — property taxes per

To the Editor: An earlier letter-writer asks “when will Republicans stand up for decency?”

Really? One amazing comment, considering the Democratic candidate has 40 years of scandal and investigations surrounding her “public service” and in her private life as well.

He mentioned Trump’s comment that the Second Amendment folks might be able to stop Hillary, implying that he was encouraging assassination.

That might have been in reference to the NRA lobbying power that the Democrats always complain about. He fails to remember Hillary’s June 2008 response to an NPR interviewer when asked if it was time for her to drop out of the campaign.

Hillary responded with a comment reminding the interviewer that Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June.

“Is this really the Senate Republicans’ plan? Giveaways to unaccountable voucher school operators?

“Senator Vukmir may not have meant to, but she proves the point I made in my previous press release: cuts to general school aids come at the expense of local property taxpayers.

“As state legislators, we have a constitutional responsibility to support public education. It’s time for my Republican colleagues to stop shirking our responsibilities onto the backs of property taxpayers,” Bewley said. “Instead of taking hardworking taxpayers’ money to pay for hand-outs to the well-connected few, we should return that money to taxpayers’ local schools and roads so they can invest in their own communities.”

What is decency?

choice for presidential candidate, but at least he speaks the truth, whether you like it or not, and he has successfully run a major business. Good business people know that you employ the best people and then listen to their advice. No one is expected to know everything or have the experience in every area of administration, whether it’s business or government.

Hillary will be no different than the current administration – completely dedicated to their ideology.

Common sense and wise input does not alter their thinking regardless of the damages that may ensue.

As to education spending, the U.S. education system ranks fifth in the world on per-student education and still is not as internationally competitive as it used to be.In fact, the United States has slipped 11 spots in both high school and college graduation rates over the past three decades, according to the report and scorecard from the Council on Foreign Relations’ Renewing America initiative. Perhaps it’s time to stop throwing taxpayer money at education and start examining what and where the problems really occur.

As far as “following party dictates,” anyone who can overlook all of the baggage and history that follows Hillary and still votes for her because she’s a Democrat is the definition of a follower. Apparently, habitually lying is decent enough for that writer. Perhaps the writer ignores the history or worse, has never vetted his candidate.

We know how Hillary will govern, and the Democratic legislators fall right in line. At least with Trump we stand a chance to lead the country like a business – to ensure efficiency and success.

ed out. “But it wasn’t — it had not yet gotten approval from the entire board.”

Hoefs said that with the board cancelling their meetings in June and again this month, it has clouded the issue.

“When the board met in July, they had a hodge-podge of route approvals to vote on,” he continued. “Some of the supervisors were confused and rather than approving any routes, they (as a group) voted to send the requests back to committee for some clarification.”

So when the infrastructure committee next meets (Sept. 14), Hoefs said he will suggest tweaking the ATV policy.

“I was tasked with cleaning up the policy and bringing it back to the county board in September for approval,” Hoefs explained.

That’s not to say the ATV policy as it stands is a poorly written document.

“I think the policy was very well writ-

ten,” Hoefs said. “I would simply add wording which clarifies how the highway department addresses particular ATV needs.”

As commissioner, one of Hoefs’ duties is to “sign-off” on route requests, basically approving them from a highway safety point of view. The sheriff’s department has to “sign-off” on the request as well, considering overall ATV driver safety.

“Sight-distance is huge when it comes to engineering a road,” Hoefs declared.

Considering both vertical and horizontal curves, there’s a complex formula for determining stopping distance when a driver sees an obstacle in the road.”

That obstacle could be a bicyclist, a walker or, in this case, an ATV. Hoefs is hopeful the routes will once again pass recommendation at the Sept. infrastructure meeting and gain approval at the Sept. board meeting.

KUTZ: Calls it a career after 33-plus years as Burnett County employee CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

plished in my time as judge but in overall scheme of things, I think we’ve done pretty well,” Judge Kutz mentioned.

What he’ll miss the most when he doesn’t have to show up for work on Monday, Nov. 28 is an easy one —his co-workers.

“The biggest thing I’ll miss is the people I work with — I have a top-notch staff,” Judge Kutz said. “There were tears and lots of hugs when I told them I was retiring — they told me they didn’t want me to leave.”

Job-wise, he said he will probably miss the adoptions the most.

“They’re the ones that have meant the most — the smiles on those kids faces and the new parents, stand out the most,” Judge Kutz pointed out.

“The marriages probably run a close second — anytime I get to do one of these ‘happy tasks.’”

But he always had the law to wrangle with.

“There were always a lot of legal issues to deal with to keep the creative juices going,” Judge Kutz remembered.

“Plus, it always felt like I was making a difference —an important detail for anyone sitting here.”

Unfortunately, he said he has a frontrow seat to a lot of misery.

“Most of the time someone has done something bad and I have to tell them ‘This is what is going to happen to you,’” Judge Kutz revealed.

Some of the family cases which seem to keep coming back time after time were among some of his least favorite memories.

But through it all, the judge seemingly carries himself above it all.

“It goes back to law school after I flunked my first exam and decided there has to be a better way — I juggled my mindset to think I’ll go into this and do the best I can and then put it behind me,” Judge Kutz recalled. “You can’t carry over what happens in the courtroom outside the courtroom.”

On that score, he has a word of advice for whomever wears the robe next.

“This could piss you off if you let it —just don’t let it,” he said with a smile.

“Maintaining a sense of humor really helps too.”

Just because he has retired from the bench, doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of him in the courtroom.

“I’m keeping my options open,” the judge declared. “I could continue to be a reserve judge or even do a little litigation work for a local attorney.”

Judge Kutz admits a fairly strong case for retiring now rather than waiting until he is 65.

“My wife was diagnosed with metastisized breast cancer in 2013,” he said.

“This is the fourth time and there is no cure — the doctors say our best bet is to control it for as long as possible to give her as many years as possible.”

Another cancer scare put the retirement discussion, initially broached in January, on the fast track.

“A growth on her kidney gave us a scare — but we’ve been able to get past it,” Judge Kutz said. “But it was a reminder that you never know what’ll happen in life.”

That latest episode cemented the judge’s decision.

“It seems like a good time to start enjoying the time I have available with my wife as well as enjoy other things,” Judge Kutz noted.

In addition to family concerns, there is a method to his madness for selecting Nov. 26 as the official retirement date.

“Unlike other elected positions where the Governor appoints a replacement for the balance of the term, when there’s a vacancy in the judge’s job, the Governor can appoint a replacement until there’s an election the following spring,” Judge Kutz explained. “The date of retirement determines which spring we are referring to — in my case, if I take retirement before Dec. 1 the election would be April 2017.”

If he declared Dec. 1 or later, the election would be in April 2018.

“I know there are a couple of local attorneys who have expressed an interest in the job,” he added. “By making my retirement date before Dec. 1, I basically leveled the playing field for the 2017 spring election.”

Schimel hears first-hand of drug addiction in the county Attorney General conducts roundtable to learn of issues

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—“We have to address this,” Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel said following a round table discussion Thursday with about 30 individuals representing Burnett County law enforcement, health and human services personnel and county officials, regarding drug addiction.

“When you don’t address it, you end up with people who are causing themselves significant health problems, maybe even death, or you’ll have people facing long-term confinement — either in prisons or mental health facilities.”

And, it could be avoided.

“With some work on the front end, we could have prevented it from happening,” Schimel said.

That’s the reasoning why the attorney general plans to visit all 72 counties in the state — to hear first-hand of the challenges of drug addiction. To date, he has visited 13 counties.

“This is what I’m hearing in all of the counties,” he reflected. “Drug addiction is a pervasive, statewide problem.”

Schimel said while it may be methamphetamine and opiates today, there has always been a drug which has affected us.

“They’ve become more dangerous and more prolific as well,” the AG said.

“They are affecting a wider range of people than they used to.”

He said he knows why it’s a problem.

“We just haven’t been able to grow law enforcement, prosecution and health and human department resources to keep pace with the problem,” Schimel observed. “We don’t have enough people to do the counseling, nor do we have enough people to do the prevention efforts. Resources aren’t keeping pace with the problems we are facing.”

Knowing the “why” doesn’t necessarily mean he knows the “how” to go about fixing the problem, but he does have a strategy. And, he doesn’t plan on waiting until all 72 counties are heard from — especially when the state is already in the budgeting process for the next biennium.

“I already have some clear ideas on issues we need to prioritize — so were going to start working on these now,” Schimel expressed.

That’s why he brought Representative Adam Jarchow and Senator Sheila Harsdorf with him to Thursday’s round table.

“The legislators are getting a chance to hear directly from representatives

of the county, the specific problems impacting them and to help in establishing some concrete solutions,” Schimel explained. “They’ll witness this and be able to debate how the state should spend its limited resources.”

Schimel sees the solution as a threepronged attack — law enforcement, treatment and prevention.

“We have to have better law enforcement resources to intercept the drugs as they are coming here,” he listed. “We have to catch the traffickers and lock them up.”

But he knows you can’t arrest your way out of a problem.

“For those already addicted, we need to get them help so they can get out of the revolving door they are stuck in,” Schimel remarked.

And the third prong is prevention.

“For those who haven’t started down the path, we need stronger prevention efforts,” he advised. “Anyone who is considering starting to take methamphetamine needs to have heard already

what happens once you’re on the drug — how quickly people become addicted and how quickly it destroys their lives.”

Schimel’s hopeful the message can get to younger ears.

“We need to reach kids when they’re younger — teach them how to make healthy choices,” he continued.

The attorney general likens drug addiction to traffic safety.

“If we saw traffic crash deaths increase at the rate we are seeing drug overdoses increasing, we’d take measures that might sound crazy, but we’d take measures to stop the deaths,” he pointed out. “We have to get more people statewide to realize we have to take drastic measures to slow that trend.”

He said he’s heard one thing more in Burnett than he has in the other counties he has visited so far.

“The folks here have really expressed it well — that drug addiction seems to be generational in nature — how the drug addiction problem is often passed from generation to generation,” Schimel not-

ed. “We have to step in and break that cycle.”

He said changing the stigma will help the addiction problem.

“People don’t come forward because they see addiction as a character flaw — something to be ashamed of,” Schimel reported. “They need to realize addiction is a disease — one which impacts about 10 percent of the population.”

That may very well be the first step.

“As long as we keep viewing addiction as being driven by life choices, we are not going to get people to start asking for help,” Schimel explained. “As soon as we start viewing it as a disease, the sooner people will seek help and we can start to see a difference.”

He admits it’s a daunting problem.

“When you talk about the challenges of drug addiction and all the crime and social problems that come with it, it’s a scary problem,” he concluded. “It won’t be solved by the time I’m done serving as attorney general, but I want to start moving us in the right direction.”

Grant for Siren Fire Hall The Siren Fire Association received a $75,000 grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation to assist in the construction of a new fire hall. The association serves the Village and Town of Siren, along with portions of the Towns of Daniels and LaFollette. The Otto Bremer Grant will be used to offset the estimated $1.9 million construction costs. Construction of the new hall is expected to be completed by the end of 2016. “Siren and its surrounding communities have long recognized the need for a new facility,” said Dominic Papatola, a senior program officer with the Otto Bremer Trust.

“The plan for a new fire hall has been years in the making, and has involved a great deal of energy and initiative; community collaboration and community investment. The association also received a Community Development Block Grant of up to $500,000 toward the project, with the remaining costs to be picked up by the municipalities.

Election stage is set for November

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Don’t let the Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton Presidential election debacle keep you from the polls in November — there are numerous other elections to be settled.

Beginning locally here in Burnett County, the offices of the county clerk, the county treasurer, the county register of deeds and the district attorney are all up for election.

In the clerk’s race, incumbent Wanda Hinrichs is unopposed for a fifth term. However, in the treasurer’s race, deputy county clerk Judy Dykstra (Rep.) will face off against Becky O’Brien (Dem.), business owner in Webster. In the register of deeds race, incumbent Jeanine Chell is unopposed.

Finally, for the district attorney’s race, incumbent Bill Norine, like Hinrichs and Chell, is unopposed, his for a third term.

Moving on to the state legislative races, for the 10th Senate district, incumbent Sheila Harsdorf (R-River Falls) is being challenged by Diane Odeen, a city council woman from River Falls.

Likewise, incumbent 28th Assemblyman Adam Jarchow (R-Balsam Lake) is being challenged by Jeff Peterson (Dem.), a retired teacher and Vincent Zilka (Veteran’s Party), a machinist. In the 75th Assembly District, incumbent Romaine Quinn (Rep.) is being challenged by Joe Huftel (Dem.).

Seventy-third District Assemblyman Nick Milroy (D-South Range) is unopposed.

In the federal races, for the 7th District of the U.S. House of Representatives, incumbent Sean Duffy (R-Hayward) will face a challenge from Mary Hoeft, a university professor in Rice Lake.

Hoeft earned a spot on the ballot by defeating Joel Lewis 27,238 (81 percent) to 6,508 (19 percent) in the Aug. 9 Democratic primary.

Similarly, Duffy put down a challenge from Don Raihala 29,421 (89 percent) to 3,465 (11 percent) during the GOP primary on Aug. 9.

U.S. Senate incumbent Ron Johnson (R-Oshkosh) is facing challenges from Russ Feingold (Dem.), former U.S. Senator, and Phil Anderson (Libertarian). Feingold earned a place on the ballot by defeating Scott Harbach 303,282 (90 percent) to 33,105 (10 percent) in the Aug. 9 Democratic primary.

The Photo ID law is in effect for the 2016 November election — a photo ID is required to vote.

According to Judy Dykstra, Burnett County’s deputy county clerk, there are quite a few documents that can be used in addition to a Wisconsin driver’s license — including a Wisconsin Department of Transportation-issued identification card, a military-issued ID card, a passport and obviously, a Wisconsin drivers license.

Dykstra said the clerk’s office has a complete list of acceptable IDs. “If a voter has a photo ID, but doesn’t bring it to the polling place, they can vote provisionally,” Dykstra explained. “But their ballot won’t be counted unless they provide the ID to the municipal clerk no later than 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11.”

In observance of the Labor Day holiday, the offices of the Burnett County Sentinel will be closed on Monday, Sept. 5.

The Young Eagles program was started by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in 1992. It gives children between the ages of 8 and 17 the opportunity to fly free in an airplane.

According to the EAA web site, the program’s mission is “to introduce and inspire kids in the world of aviation.” This year, the program reached its two millionth Young Eagle.

“There were lots of smiles and thank yous — it makes it all worthwhile,” pilot and event organizer Roy Ward said. “I love being able to share the experience of flying with kids. I am thankful for our local pilots who donated their time and fuel.”

The Northwoods Flyers EAA Chapter 1537 hosted the Young Eagles event.

Ten pilots and eight planes were volunteered to take the 35 kids who participated up for their 20-minute flights around the area. They have flown over 250 kids in their Young Eagles program over the last four years.

SIREN—Northwest Passage client, Elias, 16, was one of the participants of the annual Young Eagles event at the Burnet County Airport on Sunday, August 21, as a part of Northwest Passage’s “In a New Light” programming.

“I took photos of the pilots and their young passengers before they took flight,” he explained. “Soon after I arrived, I was able to take to the skies myself, along with pilot Tom Wilde in his Citabria Scout Aircraft, a high-wing taildragger. A while after takeoff Tom offered to let me try to fly the plane myself. After a bit of hesitation, I took the controls and felt what it was like to be a pilot.”

It was an experience Elias hopes to repeat.

“Once it was over, the only thing on my mind was when I was going to do that again?” he shared.

“Seeing things from above was very different from on the ground. It almost made me feel a little insignificant seeing the vastness of the world we live in — I can only imagine what it must feel like to go to space!”

‘Northwoods novice’ pens book

BY LORI CALLAHAN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG— “There are so very many people that say they want to leave the city and find some property in the woods,” says Renee Peek, quoting her own words from her newly-released book “Notes from a Northwoods Novice.” That’s exactly what her novel is about.

Having left the Twin Cities, she and husband Allen purchased land, put in a home and all those extra necessities rural living requires, along with many personal work and hobby desires.

The Peek’s are nearing their eighth year in Grantsburg, nestled in nature on the edge of town. ‘Notes’, published by Tate Publishing, is a delightful narrative of their first two years in their journey from city-folk to country. That journey, said Peek, was helped immensely by neighbors and the community.

“That’s the best part of living up here — the people,” she said. “It’s just amazing. They give their skills and time without question. Everybody’s got a ton of things to do, but it doesn’t stop them from smiling and talking.”

Peek’s book began as a stress reliever while still in the Cities teaching at-risk students at the Job Corp location in St. Paul.

“Every Monday morning I’d send a little story to people I had worked with. I kept writing them after we moved here.” In fact, those friends were the ones that encouraged Peek to put them in a book. She also credits her husband, Allen, for a tremendous amount of encouragement, support and information.

Peek grew up in Roseville, Minn., with a sister and three brothers at a time when nearby Reservoir Woods Park was a St. Paul Water Department reservoir. Back then, it was fully wooded and unpaved, so one had to make their own trail.

“The trees and wildlife are gone,” Peek lamented.

Being an outdoor lover, Peek said she was always begging her brothers to take her along when they explored the wooded areas.

“I had to do horrible things for them,” she grimaced, “like separate meal worms. I’d have a pile of worms and three buckets to separate them into larvae, worm and beetle states. Then I could go hiking with them and they’d collect snakes, toads and frogs.”

Near the end of Peek’s job in St. Paul, she and her Job Corp class started a project making canoes and paddles. As is not uncommon with the population she taught, some students discontinued the class and Peek ended up completing those pieces herself.

“I found I really enjoyed it,” she said, and discovered an affinity for working with her hands – a necessity in this new life.

Her book chronicles the adventures of a retired couple’s successes and failures in that move from city to country, and she is not shy about poking fun at herself and Allen.

WEBSTER—No one stepped forward to claim the Burnett County Tourism Coalition’s $200 cash winnings from the first Centennial Pin drawing held during the Centennial Celebration at Gandy Dancer Days on Saturday, August 13.

Therefore, at 8:45 a.m. on Wednesday, August 23, Village of Webster clerk Patty Bjorkland drew a new number: 111.

The individual holding this pin has until noon Tuesday, September 6, to bring the pin (which has the winning number engraved on the back) in person to Rustic Hearts Gift Shop in Webster for verification. When the winner is verified, arrangements will be made to present the prize.

The winning number is posted to websites burnettcountyfun.com, websterwisconsin.com and the websites of the Inter County Leader and the Burnett County Sentinel. It may be that someone has claimed the prize by newspaper press time.

If a winner is not identified by the deadline, Patty will draw another number, and numbers will be drawn until there is a winner.

About a third of voters still have no opinion of Johnson MADISON, Wis. (AP)—About one- third of Wisconsin voters still don’t have an opinion of incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson with just three months to go before the election.

A Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows 31 percent of registered voters don’t have an opinion of Johnson, compared with 18 percent for Democratic challenger Russ Feingold.

The poll shows Feingold leading Johnson by six points among registered voters and 11 points among likely voters.

In July, Feingold was up five points among likely voters and seven points among registered voters.

Metal detectors at all Lambeau gates this season GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)—Walk-through metal detectors are in place at every entrance gate this season at the home of the Green Bay Packers.

The team installed just one metal detector at the Shopko gate last season at Lambeau Field. The additional security is in line with a National Football League mandate to have the detectors installed by 2016.

Packers security director Doug Collins tells WLUK-TV the additional detectors were installed in time for Family Night last month, and 50,000 fans entered the stadium in the first hour without any problems.

Unlike metal detectors at airports, fans won’t have to remove clothing, belts or wallets—just phones, cameras and other large metal objects. Express lanes are avaialble for those without purses, bags or stadium seats.

‘Adopt A Musky’ project begins SPOONER—Friends Into Spooner Hatchery (FISH) is sponsoring a new project called “Adopt A Musky.” You are invited to adopt a fingerling musky and track its progress on Wisconsin’s Chippewa Flowage.

This fall, the Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division will stock between 4,000 and 6,000 musky fingerlings in the Chippewa Flowage.

The fish are being raised this summer at the Governor Tommy Thompson Fish Hatchery in Spooner. When they reach a specific size, they’ll be released into the “Big Chip.”

The last time muskies were released into the Chippewa Flowage was 2013. Last year, the Gov. Tommy Thompson Hatchery stocked 33,968 muskies and 362,100 walleyes into Wisconsin waters.

Before the muskies are released, a Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag will be inserted, so they can be identified if they’re recaptured in the future. Tag numbers of recaptured muskies will be posted annually on the AdoptAMusky.org website. Muskies live up to 15 years.

The public is invited to view the PIT tagging process and select their own musky from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, October 8 at the Friends’ Annual Fish Harvest Fest.

The Gov. Tommy Thompson Hatchery is located at 951 W. Maple St. in Spooner. In addition to the Fish Harvest Fest, you can adopt a musky at any time online at the AdoptAMusky.org website, or visit any participating business in the Spooner/ Hayward area, Just look for the “Adopt A Musky” logo.

Each adopter will receive a Certificate of Adoption with their musky’s tag number, which is suitable for framing. Adoption fees are tax deductible.

A portion of the adoption fee will go to the Gov. Tommy Thompson Hatchery to support raising future muskies and walleyes.

Friends Into Spooner Hatchery (FISH) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote fishing, conservation and lifetime learning about the outdoors. Visit the FISH website at FriendsIntoSpoonerHatchery.com for more information.

Our uneasy relationship with Canada geese

BY EMILY M. STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

A chorus of sharp honking sent shivers up my spine.

Looking up over the nested rows of suburban homes, I scanned the low, gray sky until the “V” of geese came into view. Their wild calling seemed out of place in my brother’s orderly, central Iowa neighborhood. My brain flashed back to a crisp September day in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota.

Three canoes floated among yellowing lily pads and tree reflections in a cozy bay, while the fourth canoe landed and began unloading for the portage. My dad was the first to hear the geese, as usual. He’s always been tuned in to their music. We all shifted expectantly toward the sound, gently sculling paddles and maneuvering boats to ease the strain on our necks, but saw only the dense spires of spruces and blue sky.

A few moments passed before the flock’s vanguard came into view. They pulled their followers forward until the long ends of the V trailed over our heads.

Taking stock of the early afternoon sun over my left shoulder, I noted with satisfaction that the geese were heading south. The urgency we imagined in their voices felt appropriate after our trip of windy days and chilly nights. We, too, would soon head south to wait out the winter with warm beds and plentiful food.

Our romantic notions of migrating flocks Canada geese as the forerunners to fall and the harbingers of spring are not as accurate as they once were, though.

In the 1940s, most geese were migratory, and Aldo Leopold wrote eloquently in A Sand County Almanac about “the geese that proclaim the seasons on our farm…

“One swallow does not make a summer,” he declared, “but one skein of geese, cleaving the murk of a March thaw, is the spring.”

So what was this skein of geese doing – flying north, no less– in February, in a subdivision, less than 150 miles south of the latitude of Leopold’s shack?

As humans have changed the landscape and the climate, some of the 11 subspecies of Canada geese have changed their patterns to match. Many geese who breed in the far north do still migrate long distances.

Other northern populations migrate, but don’t travel as far south. The southernmost breeding populations don’t participate in winter migration at all.

This shift may be due to newer farming practices that leave more waste grain (a favorite food of geese) in the fields, more year-round open water near dams or industries, and a decrease in snow cover on the

Canada geese have adapted well to living among humans, and some populations no longer migrate with the seasons.

tasty grass of our lawns, golf courses and parks. My guess is that the honking flock over suburbia was headed north to the Saylorville reservoir, or to the windswept farm fields disappearing under the creep of development.

Living near people has proven to be beneficial to the resident geese, since cities provide tender green lawns with a wide-open view, a reduction in predators (including human hunters), and occasional supplemental feeding.

Migrating geese must contend with the treachery of travel, predation, storms and hunting. Their numbers seem to be held in check, while the resident geese are an increasing nuisance and hazard.

The two most frequent goose complaints are the goose poop that brings coliform bacteria to swimming beaches and drinking water, and the crop damage they cause.

But, it gets more serious than that. Some resident goose populations crowd out other migratory waterfowl in the wildlife refuges that were created to support them.

In 2012, there were 240 goose-airplane collisions, and in 2009 a flock of geese took out both engines on a US Airways plane and forced the pilot to make an emergency landing on the Hudson River.

What’s fascinating, though, is that almost all geese – migratory or not – make short journeys north in late summer after breeding to munch on plants in an earlier state of growth. The younger plants contain additional nutrients needed to fuel the geese’s molt and feather re-growth.

Migratory vs. resident. Wild harbinger of seasons vs. common nuisance. Even with Canada geese, nothing is just black or white.

Paddling the Namekagon Part VII: Whispering Pines to Thayer’s Landing

BY KYLE WEAVER

THAYER’S LANDING— As soon as I got out of my vehicle at Whispering Pines Landing northwest of Spooner, the mosquitoes were everywhere. I hastened my unload-and-launch time so as to deny them their meal at my expense.

I was delayed a couple of times on the morning of August 13 and wasn’t able to get on the water until after 10 a.m. With such voracious mosquitoes, I was glad to finally be moving.

More than a month had passed since my father and I took out at Whispering Pines, and the St. Croix Scenic Riverway had been through a lot. The storms and subsequent flooding that happened the second week of July cost me a couple of weekends of opportunities to get on the water.

Just how high was the water?

Consider that the gauge at Leonard’s Bridge registered the water level at just under seven feet in height, when between two and three feet is average. At the Xcel Energy dam on Highway 8, the river was an unfathomable 20 feet higher than normal. The gauge that measures water flow volume peaked around 54,000 cubic feet per second, which is

roughly 51,000 more than normal.

That’s like an additional 51 standard U-Haul trucks full of water moving past that point in the river every second. I might be looking for adventure on this whole excursion, but I know when I’m out-matched. With so much water everywhere, it’s no wonder the mosquitoes seemed to have had a population boom.

I was asked a few times if it bothered me that Mark Swiontek, of Osceola, was able to paddle the entire St. Croix National Scenic Riverway in five days during the flooding. My answer was, of course: “Not at all.” Swiontek’s accomplishment is wholly different from what mine will be. He’s an athlete. I’m a tourist. About the only thing our two trips have in common are the underlying geography and the manufacturer of our (Bending Branches) paddles.

All that said, this weekend trip ended up being my most strenuous to date.

I had planned to tackle all but the last stretch of the Namekagon and camp somewhere just above the confluence on Saturday evening. It didn’t quite work out that way.

I spent the better part of that Saturday in leisure, with only a few minor interruptions from the various knuckleheads out tubing and partying on the water. For some reason, the turtles out sunning themselves on their logs seemed to frighten less easily than they

have on earlier stretches of the river. As a result I was able to paddle in close and get a couple of nice shots with my cell phone, which doesn’t offer much in the way of quality telephoto zoom.

I was feeling good, so I pressed past the campsites just above the confluence and said my goodbye to the Namekagon shortly after 4 p.m. I have now seen the confluence of these two great rivers twice this summer, and it has felt significant both times.

I stopped to take a couple photos, though, again, my cell phone photography leaves a bit to be desired. I’ll have to haul my real camera along someday and do that area up right.

To my chagrin, the campsites just below the confluence where I’d hoped to lay up for the night were either occupied or uninhabitable because of fallen trees.

I was reluctant to hog one of the group sites, since it was just me, and I didn’t want roommates at Riverside Landing either. So, I pressed on. The next two campsites have four miles of water between them, and the first one was also occupied. I ended up paddling almost 10 extra miles that I hadn’t planned to do that first day.

By the time I reached campsite S125.5, it was getting dark and I was completely pooped. I didn’t even bother to build a campfire. The mosquitoes were as bad as I’ve ever endured, so I quickly boiled

some dinner and then got in my ENO hammock tent post haste.

The next morning when I awoke, it was already hot. With most of my Sunday paddle already having been paddled the day before, I was in no hurry. and casually paddled in and out of the shade trees along the Wisconsin bank.

Where Loon Creek joins the St. Croix, upstream from the Soo Line/Gandy Dancer Bridge, I experienced my first “wet exit.” I had decided to paddle upstream a short distance, as I have in other spots, only this time I got caught leaning upstream and wasn’t able to brace in time.

A flume caught my gunwales and before I knew it, I was swimming alongside the Sans Souci II. Luckily, I had my life vest on and all my gear was stowed, sealed and/or tied down. The only damage done was to my pride. It was warm enough that I ultimately didn’t mind being wet. Once back underway, I made it a point to go surf that flume a couple more times, just to prove I could.

A few miles downstream, I arrived at Thayer’s Landing, loaded up and was on my way, stopping at The Fish Bowl for lunch before heading south again.

Until next time, see you on the water.

Keeping cool and healthy

When summer heats up, the last thing you want to do is turn the oven on.

Salads are a great way to not only keep you cool on hot days, but they are easy to prepare, tasty and very good for you.

There are some items that can make your salad unhealthy or high in unhealthy fats and calories. The number one item that can ruin the healthiness of your salad is the dressing. Store bought dressings can be high in calories, salt and have added chemicals. Other items, such as croutons, cheese, and baWild Chow con can also increase the calorie and sodium content of your salad.

Lisa Erickson By making your own salad dressing and keeping these items to a minimum, your salad can be the perfect hot summer night dinner.

Local farmer’s markets are in full swing. They are brimming with all kinds of vegetables and other items that are now in season. As for shopping for your salad—look no further—farmer’s markets have everything you need. Possibly, even all the ingredients for your salad dressing, too.

Salad dressing is very easy to make. Homemade tastes so much better than store bought. Its fresh ingredients will make your salad explode with flavor.

My kids used to love ranch dressing — they will still eat it, but they now prefer balsamic vinegar dressing. I will make both depending on the “kind” of salad we make. Salads loaded with vegetables and no meat, I make ranch. Salads with limited ingredients and that have meats, like steak or chicken, I like balsamic. You can mix it up how ever you like.

The high school cross country season started with a bang Thursday as the gun sounded on the boys start of the annual Carlyle Shertad Cross Country Invite at the Grantsburg Golf Course.

Lady Pirates run to second place finish

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Lady Pirates had three of the top five finishers in the annual Carlyle Sherstad Cross Country Invite at the Grantsburg Golf Course to open the 2016 cross country season on Thursday and still missed winning the invite — losing to Cameron by a single point.

“The top three girls (Brittanie Blume, Gracie Gerber and Hallie Jensen) performed well and will be a solid core to the team,” Lisa McKinley, interim coach for the Pirates, remarked.

Blume crossed the line in 23:26.9 to captured third place. Gerber was right

behind her in fourth, finishing in 23:38.6 and Jensen was fifth in a time of 23:46.5.

Freshman Hope McKinley placed 18th in 26:48.4.

“There is a group of senior girls (Danielle Bertelsen, Maddie Duncan and Holly Fiedler) who have experience and will utilize that knowledge to continue to grow the team deep,” McKinley recognized.

These girls finished 21st, 25th and 39th for the Pirates.

According to the coach, most of the team achieved a personal record.

“This only drives them to continue to work hard and improve,” McKinley observed. “It will allow them to be contenders at each meet.”

BOYS “I was pleased with the boys team,” McKinley said. “They placed third as a team and turned in some amazing personal records.”

The team was led by sophomore David MacKean who turned in a time of 20:41.2, good for 10th. He was followed by junior Joseph Ohnstad, who crossed the line in 21:06.2, good for 13th.

Right behind him in 14th was Joe Duncan, finishing in 21:51.4 and fellow sophomore Jared Lee finished 16th in 22:20.5.

The rest of the team, Sam Anderson, Chris Hermann and Sven Johnson finished 23rd, 24th and 27th, respectively.

While it may not look like it after one

meet, McKinley sees improvement.

“When comparing their performances to last year’s meet, individually they are ahead of where they started last season,” she explained.

She said the runners each have high goals and aspirations.

“Under the leadership of the experienced runners, I look forward to seeing their continued improvement as they strive to reach those goals,” McKinley concluded.

“They will continue to grow and improve throughout the season and I look for them to turn in some great performances as the season goes on.”

Tigers run in ‘Extreme’ challenge

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

RIVER FALLS—Rather than start their season at the Sherstad Invite in Grantsburg, the Webster Tigers broke tradition and maybe even began a new tradition by tackling the River Falls Invite on Thursday, what was billed as an Extreme Run. “This year we decided to try something new,” coach Roy Ward said of the meet. “The idea was to have some fun and make some memories and I would say we accomplished those goals.”

The event is named appropriately.

“There were six river crossings,” Ward continued. “I think it fair to say the runners legs were like jello after running in the water.”

The coach said his runners enjoyed the change in venue.

For the boys, Andrew Ruiz (5) was the first Tiger across the line, finishing the course in a time of 20:54. He was followed by Joey Formanek (20) and Hunter Erickson (29) in times of 22:18 and 23:05. Mason Schaaf (42) and Kerik Stubbe (57) finished next in timmes of 24:16

and 26:08. The last of the Webster boys team were Dustin Kern (61) and Trent Gustafson (66) with times of 28:09 and 31:20.

The Webster boys took 6th place.

“These results won’t reflect your typical race performances,” the coach cautioned.

And for the first time in a number of years, the Lady Tigers fielded a complete team.

“It was cool to have a girls team — I wasn’t sure if we would,” Ward said. “Carolina (Ivic) got the okay to run from the WIAA on the bus ride to the meet.”

The girls team placed ninth and were led

by Sam Nelson, who crossed the line in 26:59, good for 25th overall.

She was followed by Ali Moritz (62) and Sydney Raschke (63), both finishing with times of 30:57. Jeni Petersen (70), Carolina Ivic (72) and Jenna Gomulak (73) rounded out the Tiger runners with times of 33:49, 34:52 and 35:33, respectively.

“I enjoyed watching the kids laughing and having fun,” Ward concluded.

It’s back to the typical cross country meet as the Tigers travel to Spooner this week to compete in the Spooner Invite on Thursday.

Dragons ‘rush’ past Bruce

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BRUCE—Brady Mangen rushed 45 times for 337 yards and four touchdowns as the Siren Dragons defeated the Bruce Raiders 52-28 on Friday night at Bruce.

The Raiders got on the board twice in the first quarter to gain a 14-0 advantage.

“We played okay, but better than week number one,” said Dragons Head Coach Ryan Karsten. “We were down 14-0 before we got on the board.”

Siren scored its first touchdown on a 47-yard run by Brady Mangen with the Mangen brothers (Brady and Bailey)

passing and receiving for the two-point conversion.

Bruce came back with a 10-yard passing play, but were not successful on the conversion, thus led 20-8 in the middle of the second quarter.

“The turning point and drive of the game was the drive with 1:06 left in the first half, down 20-14.

Brady Mangen and Dolan Highstrom led us down the field and we scored with zero seconds left in the half with a TD from Dolan to Bailey Mangen and took the lead with a Cordell Fischer extra point.”

Mangen ran for a nine-yard score and a pass from Dolan Highstrom to Bailey Mangen put the Dragons up 21-20 at the

half. Ben Kopecky added the PAT after the second touchdown score.

In quarter three, the Mangen boys got together on a 10-yard touchdown scoring pass play, followed by two Brady Mangen scoring runs of six and 14 yards. All three of the two-point conversions were successful in this quarter and the Dragons were up 45-20.

In the last quarter, Dolan Highstrom scored on a six-yard run. The PAT by Cordell Fischer was good.

Bruce added one more score to make the final 52-28.

“The team had a good offense night on the ground, rushing 72 times for 457 yards and five touchdowns.

“The line was great again tonight

since they were out-sized by the larger Bruce D-line. Brady Mangen lead us in Rushing with 45 carries for 337 yards and 4 touchdowns.

“Dolan Highstrom also had a good night with 21 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown.”

“Defensively we were okay tonight.

We were lead by Tyler Anton, Noah Koball and Nathan Kosloski. Dolan Highstrom also had an interception in the game.”

“We made good strides from game one to game two, and I expect us to improve before our third game of the year,” That third game is at 2 p.m. Thursday in Faribault, MN against Minnesota School of the Deaf.

Pirates cruise to 48-0 win over Frederic Vikings

BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—On October 7, 1916 the Grantsburg Pirates and Frederic Vikings football teams met for the very first time with the Pirates coming out on top with a 40-12 win.

The typical local high school rivalry continues 100 years later, and the Pirates were victorious again as they cruised to a dominating 48-0 win Friday night over the visiting Vikings.

Grantsburg set the tone from the opening kickoff as a booming hit by Bubba Bowman and John Chenal stopped Frederic’s Kyle Olson in his tracks on the return.

From there things didn’t get any better for the Vikings, as the Pirates’ swarming defense shut them down one-two-three.

The Pirates got the ball on a punt, and just three plays later Leo Chenal found paydirt on a 10-yard run.

The point-after kick by Avery Fagerberg was good, and just like that, the hometown boys were up 7-0.

“Our guys were ready to play. We had a good practice on Thursday to get us prepared. The turnovers we

forced early really helped open it up. Our starters did a good job executing on offense in the first quarter,” Pirates Head Coach Adam Hale said. “It was a good team win for us, and it allowed us to get our back ups in and gain some valuable experience early on in the season.”

Grantsburg’s smothering defense kept the Vikings in check. Frederic struggled to get the ball out of their end of the field. In fact, the Pirate defense held the Vikes to just 75 yards of total offense the entire night.

Frederic was forced to punt. Three plays later, John Chenal walked into the endzone untouched from eight yards out for the score. The PAT was good to make it a 14-0 game.

The next Pirate score was all Fagerberg. He strolled in from two yards out, then added the PAT to go up 21-0.

Grantsburg wasn’t done yet. Dakota Schultz got into the Vikings’ backfield and forced a fumble by the QB. Schultz recovered the ball to put the Pirates back on offense.

On the next play, Schultz threw a beauty to an open Jared Peltier from 21 yards out for the score. The PAT

by Fagerberg was good to make it a 28-0 game.

The Pirate defense forced another Frederic fumble near the goal line, and on the next play John Chenal

strolled in from two yards out. Fagerberg kicked the point-after through the uprights to bring it to a 35-0 game at the end of the first quarter.

Grantsburg struck once in the second quarter on a 10-yard TD run by Schultz. Fagerberg’s PAT was good, and the hometown boys headed to the locker room with an impressive 42-0 half time lead.

The Pirates were able to play their backups most of the second half. They all did a nice job on the field while gaining some valuable varsity experience. The young guns pulled down two interceptions, one by Ty Brande and the other by David Nelson.

Ben Johnson led the Pirates in rushing yards with 60, followed by John Chenal with 46 and Fagerberg with 43. Peltier tallied 34 yards on one run. Schultz racked up 25 yards and Jase Quimby had 12.

On defense, Tyler Stevens led the way in tackles with four solos and three assists. John Chenal was next with two solos and four assists, followed by Leo Chenal with two solos and three assists.

The Pirates will begin conference play this week as they host the Webster Tigers on Friday night. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Tigers lose opener to Lakers

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—Laker running back Erik Bauer ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Jonah Kahl passed for 153 yards and four touchdowns as Turtle Lake defeated the Webster Tigers in the Tigers’ home opener 46-6 on Friday night.

“It’s a process,” said head coach Andy Smith following the game. “It’s where we’re at. We’re at the bottom of the ladder, and at the end of the year we’ll be where we need to be.”

“The kids didn’t quit. There were a couple moments where they hung their heads, but we talked about it and they got back after it.”

After holding the Lakers on their first possession, Webster

got to their own 42 yard line before a Tiger pass was intercepted. The Lakers scored on their third play from scrimmage on a 40-yard run. The PAT failed.

Following the kickoff, on the fourth play, Webster fumbled and the Lakers recovered. It took just two plays for Turtle Lake to score. The two-point conversion was good and TL was up 14-0 with 4:30 left in the first quarter.

Webster couldn’t move the ball on the next possession and turned the ball over on downs on their own 21. The Lakers scored on the first play from scrimmage. The conversion failed, but TL was up 20-0 and that’s the way the first quarter ended.

The Lakers scored twice in less than a minute on runs of 66 and 35 yards. One of the two two-point conversions were suc-

cessful, 34-0 Lakers.

Before the end of the half, TL added two more scores to make the halftime score 46-0.

The only score of the second half came on a 33-yard run by Webster’s Nathan Stadler. The two-point conversion failed.

Thus the final score was 46-6.

“I didn’t see the kids loafing after the football,” continued Coach Smith. “We want to be able to establish a ‘never quit’ culture here.”

“We’ll be getting some players back and until then the ones who are replacing them are getting playing time and taking advantage of that.”

“No one likes getting their butt kicked, but it’s going to happen a little.

“Kids are stepping up as leaders and that’s what I like to see,” concluded the coach.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Runner 2nd in age group ST. PAUL, MINN.—Grantsburg running enthusiast Ron Aldorfer, 81, came in second in his age group during Sunday’s 5K Milk Run at the Minnesota State Fair. The silver medalist in the 75-plus age group, Ron crossed the finish line in 30:10.

Brett Favre headlines 2016 Hall of Fame class GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Brett Favre was equal parts desperado and virtuoso during his 20-year NFL career that was predicated on taking big risks in the game’s biggest moments.

That style never paid off more handsomely than when he hit Andre Rison with a long TD toss on an audible that kick-started his lone Super Bowl victory. And, it never backfired so spectacularly as when he threw careless, late interceptions in two NFC championships.

Favre’s unorthodox style made for one of the most exciting, colorful careers the league has seen.

“Brett Favre’s in the top five as far as the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game,” suggested Hall of Famer John Elway, who led Denver past Favre’s Packers for the first of his two Super Bowl triumphs in the late 1990s. “He was a gunslinger and he wasn’t afraid to fail. That’s what made him great.”

It’s what landed him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the headliner of the Class of 2016.

Family caregivers workshop begins Sept. 22 at local library

BY CARRIE MYERS, RESOURCE SPECIALIST ADRC OF NW WI

GRANTSBURG—Do you help or care for an aging or disabled loved one or friend?

Or, perhaps your loved one, for whom you once provided care, has moved into an assisted living facility or nursing home. You still visit them, help them make health care decisions and ensure all areas of their health and wellbeing are addressed.

You are not alone. Caregiver stress and burnout is real, and support is available!

Join “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” starting in September in Grantsburg.

The workshop is sponsored by Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Northwest Wisconsin.

“Powerful Tools for Caregivers” is a six-week, evidence-based educational workshop series for unpaid caregivers who care for an aging or disabled friend or family member.

Family caregivers come in all forms, from the son that checks in on Mom and Dad once a week, to the spouse providing full-time, direct care for her husband with Alzheimer’s.

This workshop gives caregivers a chance to learn and develop the skills needed to balance life with this added role of caregiver. The interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorming included in each session will help participants put the “tools” they learn into action in their life.

The classes are from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, beginning September 22 at the Grantsburg Public Library.

For more information or to register, contact Carrie Myers at ADRC of NW WI at 877- 485-2372.

Caregivers — you are not alone According to the AARP Public Policy Institute, in 2013 approximately 40 million family caregivers in the United States provided an estimated 37 billion hours of care to an adult with limitations in daily activities.

The estimated worth of this care is

$470 billion. Wisconsin caregivers provided an estimated 538 million hours of care worth about $7 billion.

These actual statistics are shocking and not all that well known. As some may know, family caregivers are another population which we, the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin, serve.

These statistics are well known in our world. With the rising percent of aging individuals within our communities, getting the word out about support services and resources becomes an even greater priority for us at ADRC. Many of the caregivers out there don’t know about the resources that are available, and/or don’t know where to go to reach out for help.

Caregivers: you are not alone in this caregiving journey. Many resources and agencies are available to support and help you along the way! At ADRC, our hope as an agency is to educate and raise awareness so family caregivers reach out and utilize these resources before they become “burned out.”

What/who are caregivers?

First, what is a caregiver? Who are family caregivers? You are a family caregiver if you provide assistance for someone (friend, neighbor or loved one) on a regular basis (once a month, once a week or every day) who has limitations in being able to do daily activities.

Family caregivers may include (but are not limited to): • The guy who helps his 90-year-old neighbor with outside chores.

• The son who helps his aging parents grocery shop and get to their medical appointments.

• The parents of an adult child with a developmental disability who will never live outside of their home.

• The daughter who lives across the country from her mother, whom she just visited and now realizes that her mother isn’t doing as well as she thought.

Let’s talk about resources!

Sometimes it can be overwhelming to head out and find the resources all on your own. If you Google caregiving, Alzheimer’s disease or whatever you want to learn more about, the results can be endless and impossible to sift through. Let’s break it down a bit and give you a good place to start!

The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin (ADRC) is a wonderful place to start when looking for resources related to caring for an individual who is aging and/or living with a disability. We understand how valuable family caregivers are and want to make sure they You don’t have to travel far for specialized are supported throughout medical care. Burnett Medical Center’s their caregiving journey.

Specialty Clinic brings in the region’s best Our staff is up to date on physicians and specialists, offering experts local resources, programs in tthe he e ffollowing o lo ol owing areas: and services available to Polk and Burnett CounAudiology OB/GYN ty residents. We are an Cardiology Occupational Therapy unbiased resource—we Orthopedics & Orthopedic Cataract Surgery/ don’t care which services Ophthalmology Surgery you choose, only that your Clinical Psychology Pain Management loved one is receiving the Ear, Nose, and Throat Physical Therapy care he/she needs and you Gastroenterology/Internal Podiatry

have the support and information you need.

We have staff available from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Within our agency, we have a number of programs and services that are specifically for the family caregiver. Additionally, we have a number of other resources we like to highlight with that first call a caregiver makes to the ADRC, as follows: • The Resources Guide: The Resource Guide is often one of the first things we refer to or give to someone calling or stopping in to our office. Within the guide you can find agencies that provide the following: advocacy and education, respite care, medication management, personal emergency response systems, support groups, in-home help, in-home health care, transportation and so much more!

You can give us a call, stop in to see us, or visit our website at www.adrcnwwi. org to get a Resource Guide of your own.

• Elderly nutrition home-delivered meal program: A huge area of concern for individuals who are homebound is buying and preparing food. It is also a big concern to the caregiver!

The ADRC’s Elderly Nutrition program includes a home-delivered meal (HDM) program, stopping by with hot meals on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Frozen meals are available for Wednesday, the weekend or to have as another meal for the day.

To qualify for this program, individuals must be 60 years of age or older and home-bound. Contact the ADRC of NW WI for more information. Even though the HDM program is meant to provide nutritious meals for homebound individuals, the volunteers who deliver the meals are also another person checking in on your loved one four days per week.

• Grocery stores deliver: Some grocery stores are willing to deliver groceries on a case-by-case basis—this is something worth looking into for your loved one.

• Caregiver Support Group: Supports groups are a wonderful place for caregivers to go for support and the opportunity to meet others in the same boat. Many caregivers feel so alone. Support groups help provide a network of support and prove that they are, in fact, not alone. The ADRC helps coordinate a caregiver support group at the Peace Lutheran Church in Dresser, WI the third Tuesday of every month from 2-3:30 p.m.

• Support line: If you are aren’t able to get out of the house but can find a quiet room, you can call into the Wisconsin Caregiver Call-In telephone support group that meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 1-2:30 p.m. Register for this group by calling 877-416-7083.

• Alzheimer’s, Dementia caregiver support: There are other support groups in the area and they are listed in the Resource Guide under Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia and Memory Loss in the Support Groups section.

• Evidence-based Healthy Aging Programs: The ADRC of NW WI has partners with local agencies and volunteers to provide “Powerful Tools for Caregivers.” Powerful Tools is focused solely on the family caregiver and providing them with tools needed to better balance life with the added role of caregiver. The next Powerful Tools for Caregivers will be offered at the Grantsburg Public Library on Thursdays from 5:307:30 p.m. September 22 through October

27. Contact the ADRC of NW WI for more information and to register.

• Lending Library: For caregivers of individuals with memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer’s, the ADRC of NW WI has a library of resources and books.

Some are free and some are available to rent or purchase at discounted prices on various topics related to memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

• Local libraries: Our local libraries have access to (so you have access to) 100s of books and other informational sources to help you become more familiar with your loved ones illness or disease.

• Transportation: Mobility outside the home is a huge issue for many aging and disabled individuals. It can really affect their level of independence and their dependence on you as the caregiver. Is your loved one still fairly independent but doesn’t drive anymore? Or can’t drive long distances (such as to the Twin Cities)? The ADRC of NW WI has a non-emergency medical transportation program and a wheelchair-accessible van. The ADRC van is used for shopping, errands and socialization trips.

This may be just the key for those caring for someone whose barrier to running errands and getting themselves to their medical appointments is transportation.

• Financial assistance through NFCSP and AFCSP Funds: All counties in Wisconsin receive National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP) and Alzheimer’s Family Caregiver Support Program (AFCSP) funds. The money helps provide programs and support to family and other informal caregivers in caring for their loved ones at home for as long as possible.

ADRC of NW WI has these funds for Polk and Burnett Counties. AFCSP funds are designated for caregivers of people with dementia. NFCSP and AFCSP funds can be utilized in a number of different ways, including funding programs meant to serve caregivers and on a short-term and limited basis, and occasional respite care for those who qualify. Contact the ADRC of NW WI for more information.

Additional resources: • National organizations: Some national organizations have local chapters that are able to provide information about local resources and educational opportunities. For example, the Alzheimer’s Association has a local chapter that offers many educational opportunities all around Burnett County. You can find a list of advocacy and educational organizations in The Resource Guide under Advocacy/Community Organizations.

• Respite care: You don’t have to be far in your caregiving journey to have experienced the feeling of needing a break. Ask any expert and they will tell you to not ignore this feeling, but to realize your life, health and wellbeing are just as important as the individual you are caring for. There are many local respite care options listed in the Resource Guide—respite care options can include day break services, facility-based care or in-home respite care.

• More info: This list does not include all of the resources available to you as a caregiver, but rather just a good place to start. Contact the ADRC of NW WI with questions, for more information and/or to get a Resource Guide at 877-485-2372.

Senior evening meals set

Afraid you’ll be forced to work after retirement? That may not be so bad Many older Americans who once dreamed of lounging around the house in retirement instead are waking up each morning to get ready for work.

A recent Pew Research Center study showed that the percentage of Americans 65 and over still employed is on the rise, having reached 18.8 percent as of May 2016, up from 12.8 percent in 2000.

Depending on an individual’s situation, though, working past traditional retirement age may not be such a terrible thing.

“Some people say they keep working because they can’t afford to retire,” says John Eikenberry, president of a wealth-management firm. “Some people don’t want to retire because they love what they do.”

Eikenberry, 68, falls in the latter group. His “keep-at-it” attitude worked in his favor after a surgery in February.

“One of the people in the medical field told me that because I’m active that has helped me to rehab quickly,” Eikenberry says. “They said if I was retired, typically it takes longer to rehab.”

Some advantages of working in retirement include: •Relief from financial stress. One

of the biggest worries retirees have is running out of money, Eikenberry says. With people living longer, that’s a legitimate concern. Even just a part-time job that brings in a little extra cash can help alleviate some of the stress. He has clients who work just a few days a week and that works well for them, he says.

•Physical fitness. It’s no secret that, as people age, they tend to suffer more problems with their bodies, such as joint pains. Many jobs can keep them active and moving, making for better health.

•Mental fitness. A study published in the peer-reviewed journal Neurology this year found that activities that challenge your brain may help delay symptoms of dementia. “Talk to people in their 50s and 60s and you’ll see that does scare us,” Eikenberry says. “Work gives us the ability to keep our minds active.”

Anyone considering working in retirement does need to be aware of the financial implications with Social Security, Eikenberry says.

If you wait until your full retirement age to draw Social Security – 66 to 67 for most people these days – you can earn as much as you like.

But, if you claim Social Security

All Burnett County Seniors are invited to enjoy an evening meal in September at the A&H and Grantsburg Senior Centers. A free-will donation is requested.

At A&H, the meal will be served at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 14. The center’s annual barbecue will feature hamburgers and brats from the grill, salad and dessert.

At Grantsburg, the meal will be served at 5 p.m. on Thursday, September 15, with a menu of baked ham, au gratin potatoes, green beans, salad and cook’s choice dessert.

Webster does not have a “brunch for breakfast” in September. No evening meals will be served at Siren until next spring.

early – which you can do starting at age 62 – earnings are limited to $15,720 annually. For every $2 you make over that amount, $1 is deducted from your Social Security.

That changes beginning with the year in which you reach full retirement age. At that point, $1 is deducted for every $3 earned above a different limit. In 2016, that limit is $41,880. But, the only earnings counted are those before the month in which you reach full retirement age, according to the Social Security website.

Eikenberry is happy with his decision to remain on the job beyond retirement age, and many of the clients he provides financial advice to find it rewarding, too.

“For me, there’s nothing negative about working in retirement at all,” he says.

All meal sites are closed on Sept. 5 and Sept. 30

About John Eikenberry John Eikenberry, president of Eikenberry Retirement Planning (www.EikenberryRetirement.com), has 42 years of financial-service experience. He is a member of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) ‘Top of the Table;’ the Lima, Ohio Chapter of the National Association of Insurance & Financial Advisors (NAIFA); and the Shelby County (Ohio) Chamber of Commerce.

Also note that all Burnett County meal sites will be closed on Monday, September 5 (Labor Day) and Friday, September 30, for annual regional staff training.

On those two days there will be no congregate dining and no home-delivered meals.

CAREGIVERS CORNER

[Do Not] call me tomorrow

By Barb Blodgett

Hello everyone, Here are Burnett County Interfaith Caregivers’ statistics for August, 2016: Senior chores completed: 65 Rides: 35 Furniture moves: 13 Firewood delivered: 8 Ramps built: 5 Ramps in progress: 2 Food distributions: 60 Mileage: 3,941 Interfaith Caregivers had a rummage sale on Saturday, August 27. It rained on and off all day. We would cover everything with tarps and it would stop raining, then uncover everything and it would start again, and so went the day.

By 2 p.m., we decided to pack everything up. After all, who wants to buy soggy clothing, or pots and pans full of water?

Considering the less-than-perfect weather, we were able to get some things out of the storage unit and actually made some money.

Just about everything was “freewill offering.” I know that some people don’t like to shop that way, but it would be impossible to mark everything we have.

Right now I am washing and drying the clothes we had for sale.

They got so soggy and were such a mess. At least I’ll know we are selling fresh, clean clothes at the next sale!

On August 29, Denny and I once again became great grandparents.

Kalea has a baby sister, Zoe Madelyne Larson.

The date for the drawing for the 50/50 raffle is coming soon. Someone will get at least $600, because we have sold nearly 1,200 tickets.

One half of what we sell, you get.

For $1, it is almost too easy.

Christmas for Kids You might think it is too early to think about Christmas, but not so.

Christmas for Kids is coming up so fast it is making my head spin.

There’s so much to do and so little time. Please get the word out to anyone you know who might need to have gifts and clothes for their children. The “Wish Lists” will be available on October 1. Please call the office to receive the form.

The Wish List must include the children’s names, ages, genders, clothes sizes and choice of toys the child or children would like. Our budget is limited, so please don’t request computers, snowmobiles or iPads. The lists must be returned by November 5 so we have time to shop.

The gift bags will be picked up at the Webster Fire Hall on Tuesday, December 20. This will give parents a chance to shop for what we can’t provide. Our toys are obtained through donations of money and clothes and toys. They are presented to the parent or his/her representative in a black plastic bag.

The children will not see the toys

even if they come with the parent to pick the bags up.

Last year, we gave toys and clothing to 344 children and 172 families. This year, we expect the number to be higher. Donated toys and clothes must be new. We would like them to us by December 14 so we can finish filling the bags. The ages of the children are from infant to 14 years, and in some cases, even children who will be born around Christmas. That offers someone who donates either toys or clothes some idea of what a child those ages might want.

We have shoppers who will shop with money donated for Christmas for Kids if specific toys or clothes are not donated. It is possible to “adopt” a family. We prefer if you take one child, you take the entire family.

Toys and clothes need not be expensive, but something popular. If you know someone who would benefit, please tell them to call 715-8664970 so we can send them a Wish List.

This year, we have to be pretty strict about dates for pickup. Last year we were left with seven bags that families either forgot about or just did not pick up. Those toys are in storage for use this year. I think about the kids that missed out though and it makes me sad.

That’s it for now. Fall is almost here. Enjoy the change of colors.

If you are receiving unwanted calls or texts, you can sign up on the National Do Not Call Registry to reduce the frequency of unwanted calls.

According to the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, once you sign up on the Do Not Call Registry, your registration is permanent as long as you keep the same number.

If you change your number, just sign up again.

Wisconsin residents who sign up on the Do Not Call Registry receive federal protection and protection under Wisconsin’s telemarking laws.

Keep in mind that certain organizations and businesses are still permitted by law to call numbers that are on the registry.

Examples include tax-exempt non-profit organizations, organizations you have given prior consent to contact you, or political organizations. The same rules apply to texts.

Signing up on the Do Not Call Registry helps reduce the number of sales calls you receive and helps deter fraud.

Scammers frequently use telemarketing as a way to target their victims. If your number is on the Registry and you receive an unsolicited call, the call is probably a scam.

To register, call 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to register. Your number shows up on the Registry the next day, and telemarketers covered by the Do Not Call Registry have 31 days from the date you register to stop calling you.

If you receive a call from a telemarketer after 31 days, you can file a consumer complaint with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection at this website: https://datcp.wi.gov/Pages/Programs_Services/FileConsumerComplaint.aspx.

These are examples of the types of life changes that you have to report to the Marketplace when you are enrolled in a QHP. When you experience a life change, you must report that change to the Marketplace no later than 30 days after the change occurs. You can report these changes online or by calling the Marketplace. Reporting changes is important because those changes may affect your coverage or your financial assistance, meaning you may qualify for more (or less) financial assistance through the Marketplace.

If you fail to report these changes, you could owe the IRS more money at the end of the year for using more financial assistance than you were entitled to, or you could miss out on increased assistance and pay more in premiums than you should.

Sometimes you experience changes that may make it necessary for you to cancel your plan.

Changes like qualifying for Medicaid or gaining employer coverage are changes that make you no longer qualify for a Marketplace plan.

If you now have Medicaid or health insurance through your employer, you should cancel your Marketplace plan. If you know that you are starting a new job soon where you will have health coverage through your employer, be sure to cancel your Marketplace plan at least 14 days in advance.

Whether you experience life changes that require you to update your information with your Marketplace plan or cancel your Marketplace plan, it is important to act as soon as possible to ensure that you have the correct coverage and financial assistance. You can call the Marketplace or go online within 30 days of the life change to update your information with the Marketplace.

If you need to cancel your plan because you will get other coverage, just remember that your cancellation takes 14 days to go into effect.

Hospice care provides compassion and support at a time when it’s needed the most.

Information from Department of Health and Human Services: Things to think about when you compare Medicare Drug Coverage and summarized by the ADRC of NW WI. Medicare Part D and Advantage Plan Annual Open Enrollment Period (OEP) is coming up, October 15-December 7, 2016.

Do you know what you need to do during this time? What if you have coverage and your plan is going to continue is 2017, do you need to do anything? Do you know what to think about when comparing Medicare drug coverage plans?

This time of year presents a wonderful opportunity to review your prescription drug coverage and determine if it still meets all of your needs. Even if you have coverage that seems to fit your needs and is continuing in 2017, keep in mind your needs change each year.

Not only do your needs change but plans change. Your plan will send you information about plan changes each fall, this is not junk mail to throw away, make sure to review the changes to see if and how they will affect you. This is why it is so

important for everyone to re-evaluate their coverage each year during the OEP. REVIEW PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLANS When you know you need to join or switch Medicare drug plans, what should you think about when comparing Medicare drug coverage?

First, there are two ways to get Medicare prescription drug coverage. You can join a Medicare prescription drug plan and keep your health coverage under Original Medicare. Or, you can join a Medicare Advantage Plan that includes Medicare drug coverage and your Medicare benefits through a private insurance company. Either way, prescription drug coverage can vary by cost, coverage, convenience, and quality.

Cost includes monthly premium, yearly deductible, co-payment/coinsurance, coverage gap and catastrophic coverage.

When reviewing coverage, you want to look at the formulary (the list of drugs that Medicare drug plans cover) and coverage rules (i.e. prior authorizations and quantity limits).

Convenience is important! Is your pharmacy in the plan’s network?

Last but not least, you must look at the quality ratings. Medicare uses information from member satisfaction surveys, plans, and health care providers to give overall performance star ratings to plans—rating 1-5 stars. This rating can be found when you complete the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov.

OBITUARIES

Richard Ri h d ‘F ‘Freddie’ ddi ’ Whit White Sunday evening, August 21st, 22016, Richard Allen White, age 665, passed away at his home iin Grantsburg Township, Wisc consin, surrounded by family a and friends. The weather that d day was perfect for his passion tto fish bluegills in his boat on A Atlas Lake, where for over 30 y years you would likely find h him after work on a summer e evening.

Richard was born in Superior, Wisconsin on April 17, 1951, to Esther May (Pietz) and Allen Everett White. He grew up in Dairyland, Wisconsin, a rural area of forests, lakes and streams.

He often talked fondly of childhood memories of walking alone in the forest in winter on a moonlit night to see the shapes and shadows of the trees on the snow.

He graduated from Webster High School and was married in 1970 to Maryann Dalsveen. They raised three children: Terri, Keith “Skeeter” and Rick and lived in Dairyland for 14 years.

Richard (now known as Freddie), met Diana Manning in 2008, and they were married in 2012. Throughout their eight years together he would love to tell her stories of his children and would often say to her, “I grew up with my children.” He truly cherished his seven grandchildren and was so proud of all of them and the wonderful parents his three children had become.

Thinking of them whenever he faced yet another challenge throughout his courageous year-long fight with cancer would give him strength and peace: the fun they had camping at Totogatic Park on the Minong

Elaine Paulus Elaine Elizabeth Paulus, 90, formerly of Webster, passed away Sunday morning, August 28, 2016 at Comforts of Home Assisted Living in Frederic.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Wednesday, August 31, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Webster, with Father Michael J. Tupa officiated.

Casket bearers were Robert, John and Richard Witzany, Dana and Sarah Hendrickson and Michael Paulus.

Elaine was born in Saint Paul, on April 4, 1926, daughter of A.J. and Edna (Wigand) Witzany. After the family moved to Webster in 1935, Elaine completed her public education, graduating with high honors in 1944 from Webster High School. She then spent two years working for the federal government in Washington D.C. and Camp McCoy, Wis. On May 20, 1946, Elaine was united in marriage to Ival William Paulus in Webster. They were very busy as owners and managers of the Fishbowl Cafe in Danbury through the late 1950s. Also during that time they became owners and operators of the Northview Drive-In at Webster until they sold it in 1969.

Elaine then worked at Chipman’s Grocery in Danbury, Smiley’s Grocery in Webster and E.P. Bakery in Webster. She later took a position in the maintenance department at Webster High School, where she worked until her retirement.

Elaine was a longtime member of St. John the Baptist Church in Webster. She enjoyed solving crossword puzzles, watching soap operas on television, playing card games at various card clubs and playing bingo.

She was a Minnesota Twins fan and occasionally attended games.

Elaine surely wasn’t the loudest of the Pauluses, but her quiet presence was always there, keeping watch over the family. You could see it in her immaculate house and tidy yard. You could taste it at every Thanksgiving dinner, from the turkey to the apple pie.

And, you could feel it in the way she smiled, so big and happy. She was hard-working. She was dedicated to her husband and to her children. She will be missed by many.

Elaine is survived by three children: Jerry (Sylvia) Paulus, Norma (Bob) Kellberg and Judy (Dale) Larson; grandchildren: Michael (Shannon) Paulus, Sarah Hendrickson, Dana (John) Fredrickson and Robb (Jennifer) Kellberg; and seven great-grandchildren. She is also survived by three brothers: Robert (Jane) Witzany, John (Jeri) Witzany and Richard (Judie) Witzany; as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ival, who passed away November 23, 2006; and one sister, Betty (Roger) Kulbeck.

DEATHS July 31, 2016, Willis Verdick, 80, Rochester, Minn.

Flowage and ice fishing on winter mornings when he would check the outside temperature and tell his kids, “Yup–makin’ ice!”

Caring for his family was his first passion, and he worked hard his entire life to provide for them. He was a lineman for 32 years for Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company. He sorely regretted having to retire in April 2016, and missed working with his crew.

Freddie especially enjoyed training new linemen, particularly Michael Long, who became a special friend. Freddie’s other special friends included Gary “Leonard” Lindquist, who was also a fishing buddy and one of the guys on the annual Canadian Walleye fishing trip to Don Wright’s Camp on Thaddeus Lake near Dryden, a tradition Freddie treasured for over 25 years.

In Freddie’s final days as he fought cancer to the end, Michael, Leonard, as well as Andy Lozier, considered by Freddie as a “member of the family,” were by his side along with his wife, sister, three children and their spouses, grandchildren, nephews and friends.

Freddie was a compassionate man, never judging; and his family and friends knew they could count on him to always “have their backs.” Often a man of few words, he had a wonderful soft laugh, easy bright smile and a welcoming way with strangers. Freddie was a great cook (learned from his mother, Esther), and loved to grill in the backyard; everyone counted on his annual fish fry.

He enjoyed music and could instantly remember the names of musicians and songs; had a great singing voice and “smooth dance moves.” He always dressed simply in loose jeans, t-shirts and sweatshirts. Freddie showed his love for life through his wonderful playful side. He always said “that’s my favorite sound,” when he heard the frogs in the fields by his home. He also

loved it when the Sandhill Cranes flew over the house and would always answer their call with his own pretty impressive Sandhill Crane “sound.”

Freddie leaves behind his wife, Diana. He is the love of her life and although they only shared eight years together, he told her they shared enough love to last a lifetime. He is also survived by his three beloved children and their spouses: Terri (Jeremy) Fennell of Maple Grove, Minn., Keith “Skeeter” (Tamra) White of Grantsburg and Richard “Rick” (Billi) White, of Minneapolis; seven grandchildren: Liam, Cole, Bailey, Greta, Amelia, Ava and Bella; his sister, Deborah Reinhardt of Webster; nephews Kevin (Dyana), Mark and Brad (Katie); great nephews Garrett, Andrew and Brayden; a great niece Emily; many friends; as well as Josie B, the family’s golden retriever, who misses their long walks together.

Freddie is preceded in death by his parents, Esther May and Allen Everett White, and infant brother Gary White; as well as his loyal canine companions Reggie and Mihna.

“Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.” – Emily Dickinson On Thursday, August 25th, a period for honoring and sharing Freddie’s life was held in Grantsburg and he was buried at the Dairyland Riverhill Cemetery in Douglas County, Wisconsin. A celebration was also held that evening at the Viewpoint Lodge in Wascott.

Gifts to cancer research in memory of Richard Allen White may be made for the phenomenal compassion and care he received from the doctors at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, especially from Ms. Jessica Mitchell: http://www.mayoclinic.org/give.
