State candidates square off in Milltown Incumbents and challengers offer different paths to addressing Northwest Wisconsin’s biggest issues BY JESSICA DE LA CRUZ EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM
MILLTOWN— State Senate and Assembly candidates provided local voters with evening of their time on Tuesday, September 20. Attendees likely found few surprises. But, for those yet undecided, the event did offer a head-to-head snapshot of each candidate’s platform and presentation style.
The evening was moderated by Burnett County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Kutz. It covered a wide swath of topics in just two and a half hours, including: education, voter turnout, redistricting, shoreland zoning, campaign finance reform, local control, business development, minimum wage and drug and alcohol abuse. Candidates opened by introducing themselves and were asked to outline their three most important issues. Assembly candidate Vincent Zilka felt that his military background prepared him for the task of public office, and outSEE CANDIDATES, PAGE 12
Mill rate to drop in Webster again TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
WEBSTER—For the second year in a row, school taxes on property within the Webster School District is expected to drop following action at Monday’s annual meeting of the district’s school board. Electors approved a $6,517,898 projected tax levy for the 2016-17 school year — a decrease in revenue of $137,000, roughly two percent. The final budget numbers are not required to be in until the end of October so the number could change by then, but for now the school district is projecting a three percent increase in property valuation, driving the mill rate to $5.73 — compared to last year’s rate of $5.99. That equates to $573 for a taxpayer
owning $100,000 of property within the district. “Our revenue decreased about $70,000 last year and $137,000 this year,” superintendent Jim Erickson explained. “That’s a loss of $200,000 in the last two years — at some point, we’ll have to make cuts but I’m not ready to propose anything for this year.” Said another way, Erickson doesn’t envision any changes to proJim Erickson grams or personnel. “We’ll even look at a small bump in SEE MILL RATE, PAGE 6

Crush Clayton, crush cancer Lukas Hunter (right) looks on gleefully as Siren football coach Ryan Karsten gets “egged” by members of the Dragons football squad during Friday’s pepfest. Between selling chances to “egg” or “pie” a staff member, the school raised over $1,000 to offset librarian Christine Sundberg’s medical expenses as she battles breast cancer.

She’s ready to vote in her 20th presidential election BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
WEBSTER—It took time to convince people she was serious about voting and to get the paperwork in order, but now Vivian Johnson is ready to cast her ballot in the November 8 presidential election. It will be her 20th time voting for a president.
“Look, I am 100 years old and I am going to vote. It’s important. Some people think their vote doesn’t count, but if everyone felt that way, where would we be? Every vote matters. I never miss a chance to vote,” Johnson firmly declared. She added, “The law allows every citizen a vote. If you don’t vote, you have only yourself to blame. It might not go your way, but don’t say your vote doesn’t

count.” When you’re 100 years old, planning to vote is easier said than done, especially if you have just moved. Johnson’s first hurdle was to get people to believe her. “I was uhappy when no one took me seriously when I said I wanted to vote,” she said. “The more I thought I couldn’t vote, the more I wanted to vote,” she insisted. “So, I kept asking and asking what I

Police still searching for stabbing suspect GRANTSBURG—Police are not much closer to locating a suspect who stabbed a Grantsburg woman earlier this month, but are still on the case. According to Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing, Angelica Wenzel, 26, of Grantsburg was allegedly stabbed with a knife between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. in the parking lot north of
the covered sidewalk (known locally as the “walkway” or “alley”) between Grantsburg Senior Center and Jensen-Sundquist Insurance. Wenzel went to Burnett Medical Center, where she was treated and released. While the incident wasn’t reported until September 15, she claims the
stabbing took place on September 12. Schinzing said police are still investigating and anyone with any knowledge of the incident is urged to call the police department at 715-4635103. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel
Moose sighting at Crex Meadows GRANTSBURG—A moose at Crex Meadows — what? Did it take a wrong turn in Duluth? Employees and visitors alike were excited when word spread like wildfire last week about a moose sighting at the Crex property. “Someone actually saw it on Thursday,” Kim Wheeler said excitedly. Wheeler is a natural resources educator. “One of our technicians saw fresh tracks Friday morning — so as far as we know, it’s still around.” She said she thinks the moose has been in the area a little more than a week.

Sought The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office is attempting to locate Earl John Baker. Mr. Baker has outstanding warrants and is wanted as a suspect in several local thefts and burglaries. Please contact the Sheriff ’s Office at 715-349-2128 if you know his whereabouts, or call 911 if you come in contact with him.
NEWSLINE
“There was a group at Hap’s Landing who saw a moose swimming across Clam Lake Flowage,” she continued. “We think it’s the same one.” That’s because a moose showed up at Crex last week. “We first saw tracks on Main Dike Road last Tuesday,” Wheeler explained. The “Why” isn’t too hard to figure out. “Moose tend to wander at this time of year — they are hormonal and getting ready for the rut,” she pointed out. And, it’s not that unusual. “For two or three years in a row
back in 2008 or so, there was a moose here each fall,” Wheeler remarked. “There were sightings here on the property and also at Fish Lake. We even had a motorist report he had seen one crossing Hwy. 70.” In addition, Crex isn’t that far from moose country, she said. “You get up north past Danbury, and there are moose which live in those swampy areas,” Wheeler concluded. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

Unsung heroes
We are in the midst of homecoming week for the three school districts in the county. Siren had theirs last week, Webster and Grantsburg are having theirs this week. Seems like the perfect time to salute the unsung heroes in our schools — the men and women who sacrifice their time to make our kids the best they can be. Teachers are amazing. What makes them get up dayafter-day, week-after-week to face a maybe unruly mob? Is it that cherished three months off in the summer? Is it the chance to grade papers until all hours of the night? Or is it the opportunity to write lesson plans on a weekend? But seriously, I think at the Seems to heart of a good teacher is the Me hope to see all kids succeed to best of their abilities — and Todd Beckmann the to know they had a piece in that success. The desire to teach is a complex one — I can’t help but think for some of them it harkens back to when they were students. Now as grown-ups, they want to replicate the positive educational experience they had. I also believe working with kids makes you feel younger — how can that be a bad thing? I know my wife talks all the time about seeing the spark of enthusiasm in a kid when he or she “gets it.” And, there are several teachers who go out of their way to do what they think is best interest of their students. Like Webster math teacher Jim Sorenson nominating Sunny Cone for a six-week engineering summer school program at UW-Madison. Three hundred kids were nominated — 28 made it, including Sunny. Or, how about teachers in all three districts nominating kids to serve as student representatives to the county board? Obviously, there are a lot of events that have an impact on those who teach. Back to Homecoming Wweek. It’s the perfect opportunity for teachers to let their hair down a little and join in on the camaraderie the week creates — fortifying the bond between student and teacher. The best teachers I have observed have a great connection with their students — they are not friends, but the kids have a great respect for the teacher, and the teacher sincerely wants what’s best for each of them.And, in return, the student doesn’t want to disappoint the teacher and strives to do his or her best. Whoa — I didn’t mean to dip so deep into the philosophical pool. High school coaching is simply an extension of the teacher wanting to see all kids succeed to the best of their abilities. Sure, winning is fun, but most coaches see it as another learning platform — there are several life lessons student-athletes can take away from the sporting arena. Teachers, and the profession in general, take a lot of abuse. I challenge those who cast those aspersions to walk a mile in their shoes before making anymore disparaging remarks. Because from where I sit, we owe our teachers a huge thank-you for molding our tomorrow.

To boldly go? Science fiction fans are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the premiere of “Star Trek,” the show that created a new genre of entertainment and inspired a diverse group of people to accomplish many different things. The program chronicled the journeys of the Starship Enterprise. “Its fiveyear mission: to explore strange From the new worlds, to Publisher’s seek out new life and new civilizaDesk tions, to boldly go Tom Stangl where no man has gone before.” The show premiered in the late 1960s, a time of social upheaval and change in America. We weren’t sure if our nation would survive, but this strange television program showed us a future where everyone got along, everyone had jobs, and disease and injustice had been eradicated. Some of the more rabid fans of the show credit its technology and items such as the communicator as inspiration for cellular phones. There’s talk of a hospital bed coming out that will give vital signs like the sickbay beds did in the show. The transporter, the machine that scrambled, sent and reassembled your atoms, has not
come to pass. I watched the original show, the movies and the “next generation” program as well as “Deep Space Nine,” “Voyager,” and the worst of all – “Enterprise.” For what it’s worth, I liked “Deep Space Nine” the best. For the record, I don’t have a costume and have successfully transitioned into adulthood. The Star Trek franchise was about humanity at its best. Some of the residents of the “strange new worlds” weren’t so nice, others were downright hostile. The Federation, the governing body that sent starships on their missions, had a strict protocol that forbade contact with civilizations that were not evolved enough to deal with encounters with people from different worlds. The policy was so strict that persons who disobeyed this “prime directive” were subject to penalties up to and including death. Would real aliens be so benevolent? I read an article last week about a talk from famed physicist Steven Hawking on communicating with alien life, should we ever get a call. Hawking believes the mathematical possibilities of life existing somewhere in the galaxy are very real. Whether they possess technology more advanced that we currently have is another matter. Hawking cautions that if we would receive a communication

from aliens, we might be better off just to let it go to voicemail, so to speak. Replying to a call risks revealing our technology and its limitations. Recently, he put it in terms that everyone can understand. “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach,” Professor Hawking said. He concluded his talk by saying “If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the American Indians.” It’s hard to argue with that logic, but I doubt the folks that receive the first signals will be disciplined enough to avoid hitting the “reply all” button, and, as they say, the jig will be up.

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MADISON– The recent bomb explosions in New York and New Jersey, along with a knife attack at a mall in St. Cloud, Minn., remind us all to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to law enforcement. As part of September Preparedness Month in Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker and law enforcement across the state continue to promote the “If You See Something, Say Something™” campaign. “We all have a role in keeping our communities, our state and our nation safe. When you see something that just doesn’t seem right or someone acting suspicious, that is the time to take action and contact local authorities,” said Major General Don Dunbar, Adjutant General and Wisconsin’s Homeland Security Advisor. The “If You See Something, Say Something™” campaign is a national public safety awareness action, based on the premise that concerned citizens reporting unusual activity are among the most effective means of preventing criminal or terrorist acts. Suspicious activity could be a variety of behaviors or items.
Unusual items or situations include: • A vehicle parked in an odd location. • A package or luggage left unattended. • A window or door open that is usually closed. • Other out-of-the-ordinary situations. • A person questions individuals at a level beyond curiosity about a building’s purpose, operations, security procedures and/or personnel, shift changes, etc. • Observation/surveillance: Someone pays unusual attention to facilities or buildings beyond a casual or professional interest.
Are you ready for some politics?
A good sale
To the Editor: It’s an election year and it is football season. Why do I bring it up? Both football and politics create agreements and disagreements. I’ve seen friends get mad when they find out one of them supports a particular team or political party other than the one they do. I have seen casual acquaintances become close friends when they find out they are on the same page politically or cheer for the same team. Families and family members have been pitted against each other when it is discovered one of them is supporting a particular team or political philosophy. It is very difficult to change someone’s mind when it comes to politics and almost impossible to change football team allegiance. It seems so reasonable to support a certain political candidate or football team because, in many cases, it was what mom or dad did. There was a case where an elected official was running for re-election and was well known by a citizen who acknowledged the official was doing a good job for them. When the politician asked for their vote in the upcoming election, the citizen said “We can’t do that.” When asked why, it was stated they belong to the other party. People set in their beliefs will remain believing what they believe until the football team or political party does something to change their mind. In politics it has been said, never confuse someone with the facts once their mind is made up. Have meaningful, truthful and respectful dialogue with others and enjoy the season. Mark Pettis Hertel
To the Editor: I would like to send out a huge thank-you to the Siren Lion’s Club for their outstanding Labor Day Weekend Yard Sale at Crooked Lake. As a volunteer at the Burnett County Historical Society, I know the work involved in just collecting and displaying the items is a monumental undertaking. Their cheerfulness when selling and generosity to local charities, schools and non-profits is greatly appreciated. With heart-felt gratitude for all your efforts. Nancy Meindel Webster

Blueberries and cranberries
I recently got an interesting letter in my Madison office. Park Square Theatre in Saint Paul, Minn., wrote to let us know that, thanks to funding from the State of Minnesota Arts Board, seven schools from our area had been able to take advantage of unique opportunities for their students to learn from the theatre’s cast members, directors and designers. And, that got me thinking about what’s going on in education in our two states and what that means for our children and for our communities as a whole. We know there have been severe cuts to public education in Wisconsin. But, as our students settle into their first month, what has been the impact of these cuts? Who has benefitted at the expense of northern families? Updated figures from the state’s Department of Public Instruction show that Wisconsin had fewer teachers in 2016 than 2011. Those teachers are working for 7 percent less and have an average of nearly two full years less experience in their current district. In the 40 school districts that make up the 25th Senate District, we’ve lost 75 teachers, nearly 16 percent of the total number of teachers lost
Blueberries and cranberries were shipped out in great quantities with the coming of the rail services to Rush City in 1884. William Hume, who owned marshes to the north, developed more marshes for growing more cranberries. The Sentinel bore an item in 1880 that said cranberries from Hume’s marsh, 275 barrels of them, passed through Grantsburg on the way to Rush City (nearest railroad). They were hauled by 20 teams. This was before the railroad line was built in 1884 between Grantsburg and Rush City. It was said the average picker could pick three to five bushels per day. A 55-year-old woman picked three bushels in 4½ hours. What an opportunity for women to earn cash! This annual harvest went on for many years. But, nature’s balance has been so disturbed through the years that there are few blueberries or cranberries in the area today. The water table has been altered with drainage ditches and the disappearance of timber stands. Cranberry bogs have dried up. During the drought years, fires were frequent. These things tended to destroy the cranberry and blueberry environment. Around the 1890s, blueberries were selling locally for 75 cents to $1.25 per bushel, cranberries for 50 cents per barrel. Eunice Kanne Personal recollections
Winterizing the Model T
About December 1st, or with the first heavy snowfall, it was time to “put up” the Model T for the winter. Of course, one had been draining the radiator for some time so it wouldn’t freeze and “crack the block.” There was no anti-freeze back then. The car was put up on blocks so as to keep the tires off the floor to help preserve them. The oil might even be drained. And so it stood until the first warm days of spring began to make the roads more passable for cars. During an open winter, someone bought a secondhand Model T, and it wasn’t until spring it was discovered they’d been driving all winter on ice. The tires had been filled with water and remained frozen all winter. Eunice Kanne Pieces of the Past

$90 per student. But, property taxes have increased by $91 per student. You are paying more for less-experienced teachers. At the same time, your state tax dollars paying for voucher schools have increased by over $1,000 per student. Our tax dollars sent to voucher schools could and should come home to our public schools, and you shouldn’t be double-taxed to make up the difference. Meanwhile, across the state line in Minnesota, they’ve had different priorities. They’ve re-invested in their public schools. Minnesota has 3,000 more teachers in their classrooms than in 2011. Minnesota’s investments are paying off for more than just students, they’ve proven good for everyone. Minnesota has gained jobs at a much faster pace than Wisconsin over the last five years. It’s time for my Republican colleagues to focus on public schools. It’s time to start making investments in our schools and in the other things that make our communities stronger, like our roads and bridges. Maybe there are some things that we can learn from our neighbors to the west.

statewide. Why? New figures from the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau released this summer show over 75 percent of Wisconsin school districts are getting less general aid than six years ago. Of the 40 school districts in Northwest Wisconsin, 36 districts (90 percent) have Janet seen a cut in the general aid they Bewley receive from the state. Wisconsin My RepubliSenator can colleagues like to take credit for giving local communities the “tools” to cut teacher compensation, as if that makes up for the cuts. Unfortunately, as the numbers indicate, those tools haven’t put more resources into our students’ classrooms. Instead, they’ve taken countless years of talent and experience out of them. Who has benefited by these cuts? Not local property taxpayers. In the last six years, according to a memo recently hailed by one of my Republican colleagues, state aid has fallen by

To the Editor: I took my three grandchildren to Grantsburg on September 17 for Grantoberfest. I want to say “thumbs up” and a big thank you to Grantsburg businesses and other supporters of this wonderful event. Even though I had seen the ads, I was amazed at all the fun things the children could do and the fact that there was no charge. The kids loved the bouncy houses, the hay ride, pumpkin bowling, full size Jenga and all the fun little games in the building where they were able to win prizes. I can’t remember ever being at an event where you didn’t have to pay for each and every thing the children wanted to do. It was so great to see so many families just having fun, and I am sure the fact that there wasn’t a cost was a factor in so many people enjoying this event. I hope to see it again next year.

ATV enthusiasts can rejoice, but not quite yet BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—Even though the newly updated Burnett County ATV policy was approved and three new routes were each approved with one dissenting vote, the routes are not yet open to the public. The action took place at Thursday’s Burnett County Board of Supervisors meeting. “There are lots of differences between the Towns as far as what ATVers can and can’t do,” member Gary Lundberg observed. “How will it be enforced?” Fellow supervisor Norm Bickford was concerned as well. “This policy will allow 12-year-olds to drive an ATV on our highways,” he pointed out. “I’m afraid of a kid getting hurt or killed.” Despite these concerns, the policy still passed, but ATV enthusiasts will still have to be patient. “I made it very clear to the board that these routes are not open to the public until after the route signage is installed in its entirety and the official notice is posted in the Sentinel,” Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, explained. “This could take a couple of weeks yet.” Hoefs wanted to be very clear in the message he was sending. “I’m just trying to avoid any confusion or frustration by the public,” he indicated. The frustration stemmed from inaction from the board on ATV route passage earlier this year, when the infrastructure committee recommended route approval. It was mistakenly believed to have been approved. There was confusion at the county board level regarding the entire matter and the applications were sent back to committee for clarification. Hoefs had been tasked with updating the policy. “The biggest change was clarifying the fact that the county board does indeed have the final authority on route approvals,” he stated. “There was a little am-

biguity in the language, but we clarified that as well — the infrastructure committee simply recommends the route approvals.” He said other minor changes include aligning the policy with the state statute on ATV riding, namely that when a rider comes within 150 feet of a dwelling, there is no longer a reduced speed limit to abide by. The county also retains the right to open a route on a county road for its own purposes. “Typically, a town or an ATV club would make the application,” Hoefs remarked. “This language just lets the county make an application.” The three route requests – North Bear Lake Road into Webb Lake; East Long Lake Road to the Northwoods Bar; and North Bear Lake Road to Hwy. 77 – were each approved with Bickford casting the sole “No” vote on each. “Safety was our biggest concern on the first request,” member Jeremy Gronski, chair of the infrastructure committee, said of the recommendations. “The majority of the criteria was met on the second and third route requests.” In other business: • The board formally adopted the farmland preservation plan into the county comprehensive plan. “It keeps farmland producing rather than being developed,” member Duane Johnson expressed. • The student representatives to the county board, one representative and one alternate from each of the three school districts in the county, took their oath of office for the 2016-17 school year. The students serve in an ex-officio manner, hearing and voting on all the issues, although their vote doesn’t officially count. • The meeting began on a festive note when the supervisors recognized Mary Doll for her 31 years of service to Burnett County. She began in the Sheriff’s department but quickly moved into the health and human services department, where she served as a social worker.

staff compensation,” he continued. “I want to get a little further into the year before we make any decisions but the size of the bump will be determined by a lot of things.” He said a mild winter would help considerably. “We ended the 2015-16 school year with a surplus,” Erickson pointed out. “We received more categorical aid than we were anticipating, our health costs (HRAs) were not as bad as we projected and fuel savings went our way because we had a fairly mild winter.” With the official Department of Public Instruction Third Friday count behind them, attendance numbers are increasing. “Our enrollment is ticking back up,” Erickson noted. “We are seeing a lot of late movement, especially in our high school numbers.” However, it is both a good and a bad thing. “We get some aid because we have declining enrollment so even though we get more money for every kid we add, we lose that amount of money because we get less declining enrollment aid,” Erickson remarked. “It’s kind of a wash.”

VOTER: Centenarian eyes November 8 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Voter ID law, she needed to re-register to vote. Johnson learned the first step was to apply to be a voter. She requested and completed a voter registration application with help from her daughter, Selma Maley. “I have voted all my life in the Town of Swiss. I didn’t move far, just a few miles, but I am in Jackson now so I had to get the new forms,” she said. Second, she had to prove where she lives. She enlisted the Countryside Acres administrator to write and sign a “proof of residency” document. Third, she needed an acceptable photo ID. This is often the biggest challenge to seniors. But, Johnson drove a car well into her 90s and still has a driver’s license, though she no longer drives. Jackson Town Clerk Lorraine (Jean) Radke accepted the photo ID as proof that Johnson is who she claims to be. Finally, Johnson filled out an application to become an absentee voter so that she can vote at her residence instead of making the trip to the polls on election day. “Now all I have to do is vote for the right person,” she grinned, but was close-lipped about who that would be. “This may be my last presidential election, so I am not going to miss it.” As Johnson and Radke finished the paperwork, they reminisced about know-
ing each other for more than 50 years. Radke first worked at the Neucomb Bakery in Webster and later as a bartender at Lone Pine Bar, now the Crow Bar. Johnson, as a realtor along with her husband, often worked with Clerk Radke on paperwork for properties the couple bought and sold in Jackson. Radke was delighted to help Johnson register. “I have been Jackson Town Clerk for 45 years, and this is a first for me,” Radke beamed. “I have never before registered a voter who was 100 years old. This is so fantastic.” Johnson recalled the first time she was eligible to vote for president was the 1940 election. “It was a heated race for the voters, and I was on the Swiss election board. There were some who said that the national election was so crooked it should have been called off. Lots of claims that votes were bought and sold.” It was the presidential race between incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt, seeking his third term, and Republican challenger Wendell Wilkie. Johnson has voted in every presidential election since. Radke happily invited Johnson to work in November as an election official for Jackson Township. “Sure, why not?” Johnson joked back. “I could earn a little spending money. But, I bet it’s changed a lot since 1940.” When the reporter thanked her for her time, Johnson retorted, “What’s your address? I’ll send you a bill.”

Exploring new options BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
WEBSTER—Most high school students between their junior and senior years spent their summer enjoying the last vestiges of youth before entering the world of work or pursuing higher education, but Webster High School’s Sunny Cone is not like her peers. She spent six weeks this past summer as part of an engineering summer school program at UW-Madison and was at the Webster School Board meeting last week to share some of her experiences. According to Webster Superintendent Jim Erickson, Cone was immersed in engineering education, taking part in five classes per day– classes like calculus and introduction to engineering. She also participated in labs where the kids had the opportunity to put what they learned in class to use in the real world. “In one lab, the instructors gave small groups some clay, some metal and access to their scrap heap, andgave them the afternoon to create an artificial hand,” Erickson explained. “By the time the class was over, not only had they created a hand — but the fingers of the hand they created could move plus the hand could grip things.” It was six weeks of that kind of intensive hands-on education. “This from a bunch of high schoolers in an afternoon,” Erickson remarked, a little awe-struck. Jim Sorenson, high school math teacher, nominated Cone for the program.
“I nominated her for this program because she is a very talented young lady who I thought would benefit from seeing something out there besides Burnett County,” he observed. “I knew that by completing this program, she would have a very good chance of obtaining a college scholarship.” In fact, Sorenson said Cone met most of the qualifications, including a requirement that no one in her family had previously gone to college. Of the 300 kids from across the state who were nominated, Cone was one of 28 selected.
In other school board business: • In its regular September meeting last week, the board heard new features of the family access software program, including parents being able to view their students’ grades as well as attendance. “One of the bigger benefits is the E-Pay application,” Erickson noted. “Parents will be able to pay on a lunch account, pay for any fines, things like that.” • In personnel moves, the board hired Max Anderson to serve as an assistant football coach, Craig Honeysett as a half-time technical education aide, and Lisa Smith, a current food service employee, as the new food service director. The board also hired Alan Maslow as mechanic/custodian and Georgeann Flatten as an instructional aide at the elementary school. The board accepted the resignation of Cathy Inman, bus driver.

is among the highest ever. About 16 inches of rain fell statewide from June to August, which is about four inches above average, Wisconsin Public Radio reports. State Climatology Office Director John Young says that makes this summer the fourth wettest on record. The state’s wettest summer ever was in 2010, when the average rainfall was about 7.5 inches above normal. The national center compared this year’s summer data to the twentieth century average from 1901 to 2000. The northern part of
the state experienced heavy flooding this summer that caused millions of dollars in damage. Young, who is also a professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department, attributes the increase in heavy rains to an increase in humidity. “We are seeing a trend upward in humidity. When you get very humid air masses becoming more common in the summertime, it’s almost certain that somewhere in the region there will be a trend toward more frequent heavy rains,” Young said.

Calling all duck hunters BY LORI CALLAHAN SENTINEL
WEBSTER— The hugely popular A&E reality television series Duck Dynasty starring the Robertson family of Louisiana, owners and operators of the multi-million dollar business Duck Commander, known for long beards, exquisite duck calls and Christian values, graced Burnett County with one of their own, Jase Robertson, Saturday at Webster High School. The meet-and-greet session was packed with local residents as well as fans from Minnesota, Chicago, Phoenix and New York City. By and large, people came because they love the reality show and the Robertson family. Robertson described how his father, Phil, a starting quarterback ahead of Terry Bradshaw for Louisiana Tech for three years, left behind a chance to be in the NFL because play was during duck hunting season. Phil Robertson, having had difficulties in his life, surrendered to Jesus Christ, the younger Robertson said, moved to the river and decided instead to be a professional duck hunter. How did the star end up here and at this time of year? “Kyle Tengwall, our new CEO, is from this area,” Robertson said. “I never schedule these things during duck hunting season, but I made an exception. We’re in such appreciation of people who support us. There’s a lot of hunters here. It brings us joy to come out and tell them thank you. It’s a great place, great people.” When asked about his outlook on the future of our nation, Robertson spoke slowly and softly, “I come from the mindset that the way to change the nation is one family, one neighborhood at a time. I’m a ‘ground up’ person. That’s why I go to speak. It’s not because I have free time. If you’re going to make a nation great, you have to do it from a spiritual perspective. “I encourage people to vote because that gives us our power. I think we’re going to do it, one person at a time, as individuals, coming together.” One might think staying right sized is a challenge with stardom.
“All the people thought this would change us when (the show) first started, but it hasn’t changed us at all,” Robertson said. “We were happy before the show, before we were famous. We were happy when we had nothing, so we worked hard and made our business successful and then, all of a sudden, this show came up and it was more viewed as a way to get our message out about our faith in Jesus and love for one another. “When the success came from the show, we just viewed it as something to be used for the greater good. “On that point,” he continued, “I never knew how many kids in hospitals were looking for a family-friendly show to watch, you know, a lot of kids with cancer. Once a month, we have kids from all over the world come in and we have Duck Commander-Duck Dynasty Day. These kids, they want a distraction. They want something to take their attention off of what they’re having to go through and they can watch our show. “That’s been our fuel behind continuing to do that. I’ve never been caught up in fame or money. I’ve been real proud of my family. We had a code word before we did the show that we would tell any family member if they started losing their priorities. I guess I’ll keep that secret,” he smiled, but then leaned in and said, “It’s ‘remember the Alamo.’ It’s basically not to forget where you came from, but we’ve never had to use it on each other and it’s been awesome.” During Robertson’s presentation to the mostly-local crowd, he spoke about ducks, duck calls and the business, showing off several Duck Commander calls with expert use and giving many away to the crowd. He spoke of his faith, beliefs and values, and of his family, all tinged with a bit of playful humor. “I’m not a preacher, so I can’t get fired,” he quipped from the podium, drawing one of many laughs from the audience. “If you have Jesus Christ in your heart, your life will be good.” Of our northwestern Wisconsin area, “The weather is awesome — I came from 95 degrees,” he exclaimed. “The scenery is awesome and the people have been the best.” Sponsored by Siren Assembly of God Church, Robert-

Walker approval rating below Obama, Ryan in Wisconsin MADISON (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker’s approval rating is at 43 percent, one year after he dropped his ill-fated run for president. A Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows Walker’s approval is unchanged from three weeks ago. It was 38 percent six weeks ago. By comparison, President Barack Obama’s approval rating in Wisconsin was 54 percent and Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan’s was 47 percent. Walker’s approval rating has been around 40 percent for more than a year. It dropped to its lowest levels as Walker launched his failed presidential bid and it has not recovered. The latest Marquette Law School Poll was conducted Sept. 15 through Sunday, sampling 802 registered Wisconsin voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 points. Walker asks Assembly Speaker Vos to work with him on road funding MADISON (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker is taking the unusual step of sending a public letter to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos encouraging the fellow Republican to work on finding a solution to roads funding. Walker released his letter to Vos on Wednesday. In it, Walker defends his call not to raise taxes or fees to pay for roads. Vos and other Republican Assembly leaders last week criticized Walker’s approach, saying delaying major projects and borrowing more money is a political solution that doesn’t address the long-term transportation funding “crisis.” Walker says in the letter that “Republican leadership should stand with the taxpayer.” He says he’s willing to consider alternatives, but “we can agree that we did not get elected as conservatives to raise taxes or fees.” Gov. Walker creates task force to battle opioid abuse rise MILWAUKEE (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker is taking additional steps to combat the rise of opioid abuse in Wisconsin by
creating a task force aimed at stemming the misuse of the powerful painkillers, which officials say contributed to nearly half of the 843 drug overdose deaths in Wisconsin in 2014. Walker on Thursday signed an executive order setting up the panel tasked with making recommendations on fighting abuse of pain relievers, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone. He named Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and Rep. John Nygren to lead the panel. Nygren, whose daughter has struggled with drug addiction, has been at the forefront of legislation to fight drug abuse in Wisconsin. The task force includes the secretaries or designees from the state corrections, insurance, health services, safety and professional service departments as well as Attorney General Brad Schimel, several legislators, law enforcement, health officials and citizens. They are expected to meet in the coming months to map strategies, the governor said. Walker signed his order at a Milwaukee Walgreens drug store to highlight the chain’s drug take-back program. Walgreens has installed medication disposal kiosks at 18 stores around the state where citizens can drop off unused or expired medications, including controlled substances. “The more drugs we get out of people’s home and into places like this, the safer we’re all going to be,” Walker said. “Even if you’re coming in for a soda and a bag of chips, it’s easy to drop it off.” The Walgreens stores with disposal bins are in Appleton, Brookfield, Greenfield, Janesville, Kenosha, La Crosse, Madison, Marinette, Menomonee Falls, Milwaukee, Oconomowoc, Racine, Sheboygan and Wausau. Walgreens has also made naloxone, an opiate antidote commonly called Narcan, available without an individual prescription at all of its pharmacies in the state. Earlier this year, Walker signed a number of bills aimed at slowing opiate abuse by creating more guidelines on dispensing prescription opiates. Nygren, a Marinette Republican, wrote the eight-bill package as part of his so-called Hope Agenda, a series of reforms to fight heroin and opiate abuse.

CENTURIA—Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative will distribute $820,000 in capital credits this month to 16,217 active members and 5,549 former members who purchased electricity in 1993-94 and/or 2013. “If you were a co-op member those years, you will get money back,� announced General Manager Steve Stroshane. “Capital credits are distributed annually and are a direct benefit of cooperative membership.� The amount of each distribution is based on how much electricity was purchased by the individual member during those years. A check will be mailed the week of September 21 to active members with capital credit amounts of $20 or more. A credit will be applied to electric bills for amounts less than $20. Former members will be mailed a check of $10 or more. Accounts with lesser amounts will be left to accrue for future payouts.

any involvement in a quid pro quo scheme. “The facts are that Sheila has never met or communicated with the individual identified in the article (the now-deceased Harold Simmons, owner of NL Industries),� said Neil Kline of Friends of Sheila Harsdorf, “nor has this person ever contributed to Sheila’s campaign. While the truth may be inconvenient for left-wing spin groups and Senate Democrats as they make these outrageous claims, Sheila is focused on the issues that matter to residents of Polk County, such as creating jobs, addressing heroin and meth addiction and property tax relief.� The emails leaked to the Guardian had been collected by subpoena during a John Doe investigation and were supposed to have been destroyed after Wisconsin’s supreme court terminated the investigations in July 2015.

RIVER FALLS—Sheila Harsdorf’s campaign dismissed Democrats’ claims earlier this month that the state senator (R– River Falls) was involved in a “pay to play� scheme involving lead paint manufacturers. The accusations came after The Guardian U.S., a branch of the British newspaper, published a story linking Governor Scott Walker’s fundraising before the 2012 recall election to high-rolling donors — among them a lead producer facing lawsuits from children sickened by lead paint. According to emails leaked to the Guardian, Walker raised funds on behalf of himself and Republican senators facing recall due to their vote to end collective bargaining, including Harsdorf. Harsdorf and others on the Joint Finance Committee later voted to give lead paint manufacturers immunity from lawsuits. Last week, Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling scolded Harsdorf and Sen. Luther Olsen (R–Ripon), saying the documents “highlight a disturbing pay-to-play scheme between out-of-state lead paint manufacturers and Senate Republicans.� Diane Odeen, Harsdorf’s challenger for the District 10 Senate seat in the upcoming election, also chastised the senator. “Why did Senator Harsdorf choose to protect lead paint manufacturers instead of our kids? � she asked. “Pay-to-play corruption has no place in our government.� Harsdorf’s campaign denied

Prosecutors in the John Doe case alleged that the contributions to Wisconsin Republicans — many for tens or hundreds of thousands and at least two million-dollar contributions — were routed through a third party group, Wisconsin Club for Growth, a small-government, anti-union group. The 501(c)4 organization is tax exempt and not obligated to disclose its donors. The organization’s director has said that “the club paid for advertisements that advanced (the club’s) pro-liberty, fiscal responsibility, pro-Act-10 beliefs. None of the advertisements expressly urged voters to vote for or against any candidate.� The U.S. Supreme Court will decide later this month whether to intervene in the John Doe case, but according to the Guardian report, the Friends of Scott Walker, Wisconsin Club for Growth and others named in the John Doe investigation “have all vigorously denied any legal violations.� Whether or not Republicans defied campaign finance laws, the appearance of using their power to reward donors is difficult to deny. The leaked files showed that the owner of NL Industries, a company that produced lead used in paint until a 1978 ban, donated a total of $750,000 to Wisconsin Club for Growth between April 2011 and January 2012. The money was given in the same time frame that Republicans approved two laws giving lead manufacturers immunity from lawsuits concerning children sickened by lead paint. Federal courts have since overturned elements of those laws, leaving NL Industries to fight the legal challenges.

CANDIDATES: Senate and Assembly hopefuls square off in first debate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
lined education funding, drugs and the need for more law enforcement, and local control as his priorities. Incumbent Assembly Candidate Adam Jarchow reiterated his standing priorities of job growth, with an evolving priority of matching skilled workers with existing job vacancies. Assembly candidate Jeff Peterson highlighted his background in education, and opened with his concern over possible corruption within the opposing party as his top areas of concern. Senate Candidate Diane Odeen has a legal background and is on the River Falls City Council. She listed her priorities as reinstating local control, funding public education and transparency in government. Incumbent Senator Sheila Harsdorf recapped her agriculture and farming background, lengthy political experience and pointed to addressing the skills gap, heroin and meth addiction, and controlling the tax burden statewide as her focus. One of the most contrasting conversations of the evening came about during the topic of education. Candidates were asked how they would work to ensure a strong education system in Wisconsin, both at the K-12 and post-secondary levels. Harsdorf leaned heavily toward engaging interest in internships and partnerships between schools and business. Odeen proposed a more fully funded K-12 system, and also addressed problems with recent de-funding of the university system. Zilka raised the issues of vouchers and testing strategy. But the most intense discussion on the subject came from assembly candidates Jarchow and Peterson. Jarchow dismissed the current picture of education painted by his opponent, asserting that education funding had climbed steadily in all but one of the past twenty sessions. He urged a creative approach to filling a perceived skills gap in the job market. “Wisconsin just recently came out with the fifth best education system in the country. So the idea that it’s midnight in Wisconsin for public education is simply wrong,” he added. In contrast, Peterson explained how the state’s shrinking education budget

has impacted local public schools in particular. “The trend in the Walker administration is that funding per pupil for voucher schools has gone up 14 percent, and funding per pupil in public education has gone down four percent. That does not look to me like a commitment to public education,” said Peterson. In essence, both candidates may have been talking about two different sides of the same coin. Local control was another over-arching theme for the evening. Candidates seemed to agree overwhelmingly in principle, although not necessarily in approach. Zilka offered an every-man-for-himself concept. “We need to make sure that things are kept to the lowest level possible, preferably the individual. Because we all are our own government,” he said. Jarchow praised local governments for their ‘pragmatic’ approach to problem solving. “It’s not a Republican pothole, or a Democrat pothole. It’s a pothole. Let’s go patch it,” he added. Jarchow pointed to a list of recent state aid programs that
help county governments, and re-iterated that this has been the best session in recent memory for local control. Peterson, however, pointed to several pieces of recently passed legislation that have been in direct opposition to the concept. “It seems to be we’re on an accelerated pace for concentrating power in Madison. The state is telling local governments what it can and cannot do,” added Peterson, who pointed to recently passed legislation that removed each municipality’s ability regulate plastic bags and disposable containers. Odeen echoed those sentiments, and pointed out that there are many things that state government could learn from local government. Harsdorf, too, sang the praises of local control, but also pointed to an example where uniform regulations can be more practical, such as when a farmer owns land in more than one municipality. The evening’s final question shed light on each candidate’s deeper connection with Polk and Burnett counties, asking how each would address the growing problem of drug and alcohol abuse and the resulting crime it brings.
Harsdorf discussed legislation that continues to be passed and applied statewide, but also told the audience that the public’s help and feedback were needed. She cited specific state efforts that were made to target northwest Wisconsin’s historic regional meth lab problems, and alluded that perhaps a similar targeted approach would be needed. Odeen seemed to feel that the crux of the problem rested on a lack of treatment resources in the region, and felt that accepting federal Medicaid dollars should be considered. Zilka added that police and K-9 resources needed to be addressed, as well as funding for long-term treatment options. Jarchow stressed the complexity of the problem, and thought that a twotrack approach was necessary, both to address the cause of the addiction, as well as funding for programs like Treatment and Diversion (TAD) and treatment court. Peterson agreed with Jarchow about addressing the causes, and with Odeen about accepting federal Medicaid dollars.

Big bear taken
WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
Buttons is an adorable nine year-old (approximate) Yorkshire Terrier mix who came to our shelter as a stray. It always amazes me when dogs like this aren’t claimed. Yorkies are popular dogs and are usually purchased from a breeder or pet store at a pretty high price. Buttons has been wined and dined and groomed since coming to our shelter. He was shy and scared when he arrived, but thanks to the love and attention he has gotten from staff and volunteers (especially our dog whisperer Ron), Buttons he is coming around and becoming much more trusting and friendly. Buttons enjoys walks and behaves well on a leash. He also loves all his toys but is a little unsure about sharing them. Therefore, we would like to find him a home with no small children. I’m told that Buttons is “okay” around cats, but a hit or miss with his canine friends. This little fellow promises to keep your lap Storm warm when you are watching TV; help you in the kitchen, just in case some scraps might fall on the floor; spoon with you all night; and make you smile every time you look at him, because he says he’s just that darn cute! Storm is a four month-old kitten who is a real handsome little dude. He arrived at our shelter a little beat up and he hasn’t confided to us what happened in his short life. But he bounced back and is ready and waiting for the purrfect home (not the perfect storm). Storm is your average kitten, personality-wise. He loves attention, yet is pretty calm and cool. I’m told he would be a good fit for almost anyone. For the most part, kittens coming to the shelter come with their littermates. I always feel bad for the ones that are all alone in their condo because they really need a furry body to play with and snuggle with when they are younger. My hopes are that Storm finds a home real soon, and I always feel great when my article is the reason for an adoption. Just tell them Pam sent you! If you are interested in adopting Buttons, Storm, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www. hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.
WILDSIDE Woodland field day set SHELL LAKE—The Northwest Chapter of the Wisconsin Woodland Owners Association and the Washburn County Forestry Department will hold a Field Day at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 15. Demonstrations of modern logging equipment will be the focus. In addition, county foresters will provide hands-on training with tools used for forest measurements and timber cruising. Understanding the size and spacing of trees on a property is an important part of sustainable forest management and can be used to estimate growth. Tentatively, a business owner will describe the economics of logging (challenges, opportunities, etc.) Over lunch, we will have an informal roundtable on how landowners are using GPS units to manage and enjoy their woodlot. Copies of My Land Handbook, a new resource from WWOA to centrally record details about your property for family members, will be available. There is no charge for the session, and owners of woodlands of any size are very welcome to attend. Please contact Bobbi Freitag at 715-354-3961 or rfreitag@uwalumni.com by October 9 if you have questions or plan to attend.

Paddling the Namekagan Part 8: Thayer’s Landing to Sunrise Landing BY KYLE WEAVER
DANBURY—Within two minutes of putting in at Thayer’s Landing early on Sept. 17, I regretted not having packed a frying pan. As I was bouncing along the eastern bank of the St. Croix, I spotted a small batch of sulphur shelf mushrooms growing on an oak tree hanging over the bank. The avid mushroom hunter in me was upset that I was unprepared to harvest and consume such a wild delicacy. Named quite literally, these bright orange, shelf-like mushrooms are also aptly known as “chicken of the woods” mushrooms because they fry up like chicken and taste exactly like it, too. I’ve eaten them many times; they are awesome as chicken-mushroom fajitas. The two gentlemen fishing the other side of the river from where I found them were not nearly as enthusiastic as I was, however. Though I suggested the mushrooms would be an awesome complement to their fish dinner later, they reacted as though I were attempting to pawn a dirty diaper. In hindsight, a stranger randomly offering free wild mushrooms doesn’t play any better on a river than it might on a city street. For this weekend’s trip, I decided to kick it in gear a little and planned more than 46 miles of paddling. Already the middle of September, I am starting to realize my goal of paddling the entire St. Croix National Scenic Riverway might not be reached if I don’t cover some serious water before the snow flies. And, the possibility of winter is getting real. The leaves above Highway 70 were already starting to turn gold, red and amber hues. I allowed that fact to introduce a determination into my paddle strokes. No more will it suffice to lean and allow the current to push me. I will complete this journey. As my questionable Irish luck would have it, the river met me with a challenging headwind nearly the whole weekend. The Saturday weather report showed clouds and a small chance of rain before I left and that was exactly what I got.

A stop for lunch at Sand Creek Landing in St. Croix State Park.
My math colleagues at work seem to enjoy when I break things down mathematically, so I’ll offer this: my usual paddling pace is about four miles per hour, give or take. Throughout the weekend, I timed myself at somewhere less than three miles per hour, which means perhaps 25 percent of the energy I burned was spent solely in opposing the wind. It was no wonder I was quite tired by the time I arrived home to watch the Packers/ Vikings game Sunday night. Nearly all of Saturday, I was flanked on the western bank by St. Croix State Park, Minnesota’s largest state park. Until the latter part of my last weekend on the river, I have been entirely in Wisconsin, so my first time setting foot in Minnesota on this journey was when I stopped for lunch at Sand Creek Landing (S104.7). Throughout the weekend, I flushed many pairs of canvasback ducks. I haven’t seen many ducks since the early weekends of this trip, so it was amusing to see them as they’re doubtlessly on the move southward. Though there was plenty of water to entertain either option, I stuck to the main channel of the St. Croix instead of paddling the Kettle River Slough, which splits off at mile S100.7. There were some fun riffles and rapids to paddle along the main channel, but nothing I would call challenging. I’ll have to come back and try the Slough someday.
I camped for the night at S93.3, just below Soderbeck Landing, where I built a wonderful fire, had dinner and slept peacefully in my hammock. After an early start Sunday and taking the side trip through the beautiful Sandrock Cliffs channel the next morning, I crossed below Highway 70. The river begins to widen and flatten considerably below Highway 70 and, as stated above, the wind and lack of cloud cover really took their toll on me. The river heads straight south for a good while, so there weren’t even bends or islands to paddle behind for shade or windbreak. It was easily the most challenging paddling I’ve done all summer. I had to stop and stretch a couple times, which also hurt my pace. I arrived at Sunrise Landing on the Wisconsin side at about 4:30 p.m., where my good friend Eric had helped me stash my car. I loaded up and was on my way home. I now have one weekend of paddling left, roughly 46 miles, until I reach the end of the federally managed waters in Stillwater. Since I’m so close to my home in Osceola now and the weather has turned, I’m done camping now. The rest will be done in a couple of day trips. Until next time, I’ll see you on the water.

OBITUARIES
Glen A. Smith Glen A. Smith, 95 years old, of Minong, passed away on Sepo ttember 24, 2016. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. w Friday, September 30, 2016 at F S St. Mary’s Catholic Church in M Minong, with Father James K Kinney officiating. Visitation w will be at the church one hour p prior to the service. Full milittary honors will be held at the church, followed by interment in Greenwood Cemetery at Minong. Casket bearers are Nicki Kofal-Coons, Denise LaGraves, Landon Smith, Shauna Klug, Tanna Heitman, Courtney Mike, Hunter Clark and Theo Julius Kandschur. Glen was born to Isabel and Arthur Smith on September 19, 1921 in a log house on Trego Flats in Washburn County. He was third of four boys. In 1922, the family moved to Minong. With the exception of 20 plus years in the military, he resided in Minong throughout his life. He was married to Betty Frahm on January 29, 1947 in Duluth. They celebrated 62 wedding anniversaries together. In October of 1940, Glen joined the Navy and was a member during all of WWII, serving on three navy ships: the USS Saratoga, USS Steamer Bay and the USS Piedmont. Shortly after WWII ended, Glen received an honorable discharge and remained in the Naval Reserve while returning home to Minong. Several months lat-
er, he and Betty moved to California where he attended Northrop Aero Institute and he obtained an aircraft and engine mechanic license. Returning to Minong, and following a few months of employment at a local gas station, he again joined the military, this time serving in the Army. Glen’s first station with the Army was Fort Riley, Kansas, where he served as a typing instructor. Re-enlisting, he was off to Korea for 14 months, where he was assigned to the 6th Helicopter Company. There he put to good use his A&E mechanic license, inspecting and maintaining a number of helicopters. Following Korea, it was off to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, then to Fort Gordon, GA, and finally to Sandia Base in Albuquerque, NM where he served for seven years as an instructor for the storage and maintenance of atomic weapons. During his time at Sandia base, he fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a pilot. Joining a military flying club and helping to maintain the club aircraft, he received several hours of flight instruction. On February 10, 1958, he completed his first solo flight with three take-offs and landings. Glen retired from the military in July of 1963 and returned to Minong. He began his dream job of opening “Smith Repair Shop,” where he fixed small engines and small appliances. Following over a year of odd jobs, he was employed by the WI-DNR. He started with GEME management, was supervised by Burt Dahlberg, and ended as a purchasing agent for the twelve counties in NW Wisconsin. Glen retired from the DNR in November of 1984. Keeping a large family housed and fed sometimes took more than one job, so Glen found ways to incorporate his love of sports with work. He was an umpire for
the Town of Minong baseball team for at least 15 years, and was a referee for Northwood High School basketball games for a number of years as well. Glen enjoyed golfing, being with family, building and flying model airplanes, driving his motor scooter and continuing his dream of working with small electronics by tinkering whenever he had the opportunity. He kept his mind and body active by striving to learn new things every day. He was an active member of St. Mary’s Church, serving as usher, on the Parish Council and providing maintenance when needed. Glen was a wonderful, loving and caring husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be missed by many, but will always be in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him. Glen is survived by children Deborah (Ed) Kofal of Wascott, Wis., Mark (Cheryl) Smith of Grantsburg, Dawn (Bob) DeSoto of Dickinson, N.D., Dee Ann (Scott) Clark of Bloomington, Minn., and Miles (Kristin Kandschur) Smith of Trondheim, Norway; grandchildren Nicki, Denise, Landon, Shauna, Tanna, Courtney, Hunter and Theo; great-grandchildren McKenzie, Johnny, Julia, Emily, Samantha and Brett, with another expected in January; and many other family and friends. Glen was preceded in death by his wife, Betty; his daughter, Denise; his parents, Isabel and Arthur and step-father John Green; and his three brothers, Lyndon, Marion (Punk) and Keith. The family of Glen A. Smith would like to thank Regional Hospice for their support during this difficult time. Online condolences may be expressed at www.swedberg-taylor.com. Arrangements were entrusted with Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home of Grantsburg.

Renovating? Why to Consider a Fireplace When considering home renovations, it’s important to be choosy, as some projects can end up costing you a pretty penny with little return on investment. Some fast facts can provide answers to this age old consideration. Here are three compelling reasons to think fireplace. • A gas fireplace will add between 2,950 to $5,900 to a home’s value, according to
the “Marshall & Swift Residential Cost Handbook.” • New homebuyers rank fireplaces as the number one most desired decorative appearance product in a new home, according to the National Association of Home Builders. • Today, homeowners have an opportunity to differentiate their homes with a fireplace in different ways. Both tradi-

tional and modern fireplaces are now offered with innovative technologies that push the boundaries of where fire can go and how it can look. Consider brands that designers, architects, builders, and remodelers trust, such as Heat & Glo, which leads the industry in design and innovative technology. More information about how a fireplace can improve home value and dif-
ferentiate spaces is available at www. heatnglo.com. For those looking to renovate, a fireplace presents an attractive choice — whether a sale is in the cards or you simply want to enhance appeal and comfort. (StatePoint)

Home Heating Tips to Save Money and Energy Will your house be warm enough this winter? With shifts in climate making winter weather harder to predict, it’s important to prepare your home for extreme winter temperatures as soon as possible. Here are a few key ways to make your home comfortable and energy efficient.
$499.99 STEVE HERDER - SHUTTERSTOCK
SUPPLEMENTAL HEATING Consider reducing energy bills substantially by supplementing whole house heat in the zones of your house used most. For example, why heat the unoccupied foyer to the same degree as the living room where your family spends their time? Focusing your energy use where it is most needed will allow you to lower the thermostat for the central furnace. Known as “zone heating,� this practice saves dollars and energy. WOOD STOVE A wood stove is a great choice for a supplemental heating product that focuses on specific rooms of the home. Not only does a wood stove create a cozy atmosphere, but new models are redefining this classic technology to be greener, safer and easier to operate.
For example, the Quadra-Fire Adventure II, an EPA-certified appliance, features Smart Burn Technology, which delivers controllable, efficient heat. It’s the only stove equipped with a programmable wall thermostat that maintains the temperature of your room, helping reduce heating bills up to 50 percent. It also alerts you when it’s time to add more wood, taking guesswork out of the equation. Another option that can help you reduce your heating bill is the Encore FlexBurn from Vermont Castings, which can be burned with a catalyst to increase efficiency by more than 15 percent on the longest burn settings and lowering emissions to ensure you get the most out of each load of wood. For those who want to green their home, wood is
a good fuel choice, as it’s a renewable energy source that is carbon neutral. REGULAR MAINTENANCE Your heating system, supplemental heating products and insulation all require regular maintenance to operate at their highest capacity and keep your home warm at a reasonable cost. Certain tasks you can perform yourself include changing HVAC filters, sealing drafts and ductwork, and weatherstripping windows and doors. You may want to have your central furnace serviced professionally, however. A handy checklist is available at energystar.gov. For a comfortable and affordable winter, take smart steps to warm your home wisely. (StatePoint)

Easy Ways to Weatherize Your Home Extreme temperatures -- hot or cold -- can send your energy bills through the roof while also creating an uncomfortable living space for your family. Almost two-thirds of American adults live in a home that needs weatherization, according to a recent online survey, commissioned by Duck brand, conducted by Harris Poll. To bring
down energy costs and make the temperature in your home more comfortable, consider defending your home with helpful tools like Roll-On Window Kits, Double Draft Seals, Socket Sealers and Attic Stairway Covers. You can also adjust ceiling fans, install a programmable thermostat and open or close curtains to leverage sunlight and shade.
To learn more about weatherization products and ways you can make your home more comfortable and efficient, visit duckbrand.com/weatherization. Don’t resign yourself to high energy bills and an uncomfortable living space. Weatherizing is simple, affordable and effective. (StatePoint)

Home Ideas for Cozy Fall Living With autumn comes crisp falling leaves, fresh brisk air and pumpkin spice aromas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to prepare your home to spend more time indoors, decorating it with warm, cozy accents to set the tone for the season. Make your home fall-ready with the following cozy ideas. 1. Freshen Up with Soothing Aromas. A little â&#x20AC;&#x153;me timeâ&#x20AC;? is good for the soul, and sometimes you need to pamper yourself after a long day. Whether the scent is apple cinnamon, pumpkin pie or maple leaf, lighting a candle with your favorite fall fragrance creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, enhancing your sense of calm. 2. Create a Living Room Sanctuary. Transform your living room into an at-home getaway by displaying seasonal throw pillows and blankets, and adorning the space with elements from nature, like a vase filled with leaf stems and crab apple branches. Crank up the cozy factor with homemade hot cider and a crackling fireplace. 3. Refresh Interiors with Paint. Give rooms a refreshing update, add color and create contrast in a space with accent walls. Deep colors like navy blue help create a relaxing retreat. Or, take a cue from the changing leaves and opt for warm colors, like mustard yellow or burnt orange. To ensure a top-notch paint job, use a premium brand painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tape that will deliver sharp paint lines, like FrogTape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tape that features patented PaintBlock Technology, which reacts with the water in latex paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the
tape to help prevent paint bleed. 4. Innovate with Multi-Functional Appeal. Since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be spending more time inside, transform an empty space like a basement or attic into a useful area for the entire family. With a little imagination and a few tools, you can create a vibrant and playful craft room, as did FrogTape Paintover Challenge winner KariAnne Wood from the blog â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thistlewood Farms.â&#x20AC;? Wood transformed an unused upstairs space in her home into a room for her children to craft, study and hang out with friends. An exciting, multi-functional space is a great way to avoid cabin fever in the months ahead. 5. Give Guests a Warm Greeting. Celebrity designer Taniya Nayak correctly predicted home design elements that incorporate typographic elements
would be a key design trend in 2016. This trend is all about setting the tone for a space with inspirational quotes, person-
alization and warm greetings. Welcome guests by playing up the autumnal theme with phrases like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello Fallâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give Thanksâ&#x20AC;? on decorative wooden planks or burlap-textured fabric. Consider using various font types and sizes to achieve a different feel for each block of text. 6. Deck Out Curb Appeal Nothing sets a good impression like an attractive entry way and front door. Greet guests with a festive hello by decking out the porch with pumpkins and planting seasonal floral arrangements along the pathway, or creating a fall-inspired wreath to hang on the door. You can even collect a handful of colorful leaves outside to string together and post along your porch fence for extra curb appeal. For more seasonal inspiration, visit frogtape.com. Get started on your projects now, so you can kick-back, relax and fully enjoy all that the season has to offer. (StatePoint)

Tigers fend off feisty Dragons
SEPTEMBER 28, 2016
Pirates sweep Saints BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS
BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers fought off a determined Siren Dragon volleyball team last Tuesday night, winning 3-0, but the game scores show how close this contest went. The game scores were 25-19, 27-25 and 26-24. “Siren came ready to play,” said Tiger coach Stefanie Janssen. “We put up a good fight. We’re coming right along,” commented Siren mentor Kristin Kosloski. The largest lead the Tigers had in game one came at 13-8 and 21-15. Up to those point levels, the teams played with Webster holding the edge for most of the contest. An ace by Taylor Howe moved the Tigers up 5-4 early in the game and Howe later made a block which upped the Webster score to 16-12. A placement by Siren’s Cassandra Maslow narrowed the Tiger lead to 21-19, but Webster scored the next four to take the game by six. In game two, after a kill by Howe to make the score 4-1 Webster, Siren fought back to tie the game at 14. The Tigers went through a spell where after maintaining a lead, lost momentum and allowed the Dragons to climb back into the contest. An ace by Abby Kosloski got the score to Webster 20, Siren 19, and then a long return by the Tigers gave Siren a tie. The Dragons went up by two on a short return and a placement. Webster knotted the score at 22 on a kill by Howe and an ace by Skyler Winkler. Siren and Webster each scored a tally and the Tigers put another point on the board to go up by one. The Dragons knotted the score and went up by one on a long Webster return. The Tigers tied it at 25 and then won the game on a kill and a Siren short return. Game three saw the Dragons move out to a 10-3 advantage in the early going.

GRANTSBURG—Volleyball’s West Lakeland Conference got a little more interesting on Tuesday night (Sept. 20) as the Pirates swept the previously undefeated St. Croix Falls Saints in three sets, 25-23, 25-23 and 25-19 to grab a share of the top spot in the standings. The Saints came into the game sitting atop the conference standings undefeated. The Pirates were holding a close second place, tied with the Luck Cardinals, who gave Grantsburg their only loss in a tight match early in the season. Luck’s only loss was at the hands of the Saints. With the Pirates’ win, the battle for the title is interesting, to say the least. The bleachers were full of volleyball fans anticipating a great match, and the girls on the court did not disappoint. “The crowd was great, and I hope they enjoyed the show because both teams came to play. “Both teams are a force to be reckoned with,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “SCF has a lot of big namers, including players who have been All Conference in prior years: leaping lefty Ruthie Stewart, Adrienne Stof-

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—Webster senior Andrew Ruiz ran one of his better races thus far this season when he crossed the line in 17:36, good for second place overall in the Roy Griak Invitational Saturday in Minneapolis. Coach Roy Ward said the Tiger racer of the meet award goes out to Ruiz. “It is really something special to see a kid from little Webster, Wisconsin racing in the top 10 at a big meet,” Ward pointed out. “At the mile, he was in 8th, and he finished with a strong kick to pass all but one — certainly a great memory and confidence-builder going into the last part of your senior cross country season.” The Griak event is a spectacle to behold, Ward said. “It is quite an experience to run in a meet of this size and caliber — there were 13 states represented and two divisions,” coach Roy Ward remarked. “In our division there were 490 boys and 440 girls in each race — I would describe it as a mob of runners and spectators.”

The start of the maroon division of the Roy Griak Invitational on Saturday.
As a team, the Webster Tigers finished 36th of 54 complete teams. “Our boys team is pretty run down and fighting some sickness, so getting healthy and decreasing our spread between runners are our biggest challenges going into the championship part of our season,” the coach observed. “Overall, the race times were better than last year, but not
where we want to be in a month.” Solidifying his rank as the team’s second strongest runner, Joey Formanek was the second Tiger across the line in 19:13. As has been the case all season, Hunter Erickson and Mason Schaaf have been battling for the third spot and Saturday was no exception with Erickson (215) SEE GRIAK, PAGE 22

CAMERON—“It was a tough loss,” lamented Webster Coach Andy Smith after the 54-0 setback to Cameron on Friday night. “Watching them on fi lm, we felt we had a chance. We made some mistakes early that really got the momentum on their side and we couldn’t get it back. Hopefully, we will use this as a teaching moment and continue to improve.” Cameron scored two touchdowns in the fi rst quarter on 32 and 83 yard completions and runs. One extra point was successful. A one-yard plunge and two passes, one from 27 yards out and the other from 31 yards out, were the scores in the second quarter. One extra point and one two-point conversion were good following the TDs. A one-yard run and a returned blocked kick accounted for the scoring in the third quarter and a one-yard run added to the Cameron score in the last period. Frank DeBlase was top rusher for the Tigers, going 12 times for 53 yards. In passing, Trevor Gustafson was five for 12, 23 yards. DeBlase tossed one pass for 48 yards. Defensively, DeBlase had five total tackles, Trenton Wols seven and Simeon Wilson 12. The Tigers are host to St. Croix Falls this Friday. Game time is 7 p.m.
Dragons top Clayton in Homecoming game SIREN—“It was a great homecoming game,” reported Coach Ryan Karsten following Siren’s 58-19 win over the Clayton Bears on Saturday. “Our kids weren’t distracted with the worries of Homecoming week, and I liked to see that. They came out right away and ran the ball well. The team had 442 yards on 29 carries. We averaged 15.2 yards a carry. That is a HUGE average. We played a lot of kids, which is always a plus on Homecoming. All 31 of our guys that suited up played. It was great to see.” “This win sets up the game of the year so far in the Eight Man conference, Siren at Luck. The winner puts themselves in a position to be conference champs at the end of the year.” “This is the fi rst time since 1983 that Siren can say that. Luck has been rolling as of late. They are well coached and their kids play football the way it should be played – tough and right at you. They like to run the ball and we like to run the ball. They have 1,509 yards rushing this year and we have 1,952. My players and I remember the 70-6 and the 68-16 blowout wins by Luck the last two years. They are not the same team as the past two years and neither are we.” “It should be a great high school football game.” Friday’s contest is at 7 p.m. at the Luck ball field.

ST. CROIX FALLS—The Grantsburg Pirates hit the road to take on the St. Croix Falls Saints on Friday night in a Lakeland North Conference showdown. The Pirates took the win 31-21 to crush the Saints’ Homecoming. “It was a battle for four quarters and not a surprise, as Saint Croix is a tough rival each year,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “They came out from the opening kick and had us on our heels as we didn’t come close to matching their intensity. We were fortunate to get a turnover on that first drive and get a few stops in the fi rst quarter. Otherwise we really would have been in a hole at halftime. I was pleased with how we responded and played much more physical on defense the second half and limited their big play makers Johnson and Henk.” The Saints came out fi red up and drove the ball deep into Pirate territory to start the game. Fortunately for Grantsburg, Hauk Mortiz forced a fumble that was recovered by Austin Olson to end the SCF drive. Grantsburg took over with quarterback Dakota Schultz finding a wide open Avery Fagerberg and the race was on. A couple of plays later, Pirate running back John Chenal ran the ball in from 15 yards out for the game’s fi rst score. Fagerberg added the point after and Grantsburg had the early lead, 7-0. Grantsburg scored once more in the fi rst with Chenal rumbling in again from 10 yards out. This time the point after was blocked, holding the Pirates’ lead to 13-0 at the end of the fi rst quarter. St. Croix scored in the second quarter on a 68-yard pass play from Alex Johnson to Kevin Koshiol. The point after was good to make it a 13-7 game. Grantsburg’s Chenal wasn’t done yet as he broke away on 74-yard touchdown run. This time the Pirates tried for two, but fell short, making it a 19-7 game. The Saints struck two more times in the second quarter on runs by Ty Henk and Johnson to take the lead into the half, 21-19.
Grantsburg found themselves in unfamiliar water at the half. This was the fi rst time this season they were behind in a game, and the second half would be a gut check for the team. The Pirates came back to the field ready to play, and the defense stood strong holding the Saints scoreless in the second half. Grantsburg regained the lead in the third quarter off a Fagerberg run from three yards out. The twopoint conversion failed again, but the Pirates were back on top 25-21. Chenal found paydirt again in the fourth quarter from three yards out for Grantsburg’s final score. The PAT was no good to end the scoring at 31-21. Despite rain falling for most of the game making it hard to hang onto the ball, the Grantsburg offense still racked up 414 total yards. Chenal racked up 136 yards rushing to lead the Pirates. Grantsburg is lucky enough to have two very talented quarterbacks who both played well on a wet night. Schultz was five of nine for 126 yards, and Fagerberg went seven for seven for 95 yards. They also led the team in receiving yards with Fagerberg racking up 93 and Schultz 46. “Offensively I thought we moved the ball fairly well all night, but when you take big negative plays and can’t handle the wet football, it stalls a lot of drives,” Hale said. “John Chenal ran the ball extremely hard and created a lot of yards off busted plays and both Dakota Schultz and Avery Fagerberg threw the ball well on a really wet night.” On the defensive side, Chenal led the charge with eight solo tackles and eight assists. Younger brother Leo was next on the list with seven and four. Fagerberg and Nicholas Larsen each had five solos and Hauk Moritz tallied four. The win keeps the Pirates’ record unblemished on the season at 6-0 overall and 3-0 in conference play right behind Unity who are 4-0 in the Lakeland North standings. Grantsburg celebrates Homecoming this week and will be facing the Cameron Comets in a 7 p.m. Friday night competition.

Football trophy presentation at GHS Friday GRANTSBURG—Just before the National Anthem and kickoff of the Grantsburg High School football game this Friday evening, Sept. 30, a special trophy will be presented. As part of the season-long celebration of 100 years of Grantsburg High School football, a trophy will be presented on behalf of the school’s fi rst football team. One hundred years ago, the fi rst GHS football team won the new league’s fi rst championship, but no trophy was presented. At 6:55 p.m. Friday, in honor of the 1916 team, GHS Athletic Director and West Lakeland Conference President Mike Amundson will present the trophy. Receiving it on behalf of the 1916 team will be Grantsburg High School Principal Josh Watt and Superintendent Dr. Joni Burgin. The trophy reads: “Polk-Burnett League Football
Champions 1916, Grantsburg High School.” Also participating will be former GHS Superintendent Merlin Johnson, who coached along with GHS Head Coach Bob Olson during the 1950s. Sixty years ago, in 1956, the late Mr. Olson and Johnson led the GHS team to a conference championship, the fi rst since 1942. Two years later, the 1958 team won the conference championship in another undefeated season. Also taking part in the presentation will be Gene Olson, 92, who played for GHS football 75 years ago on the 1941 and 1942 championship teams. It is recalled that the 1942 team was so powerful, so dominant, that no one asked who won. They just asked by how much Grantsburg won. The 1916 trophy will be on permanent display in the trophy case at the high school commons.

Pirates sail past Unity Eagles BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates volleyball team started the second half of season play with a 3-0 win over the Unity Eagles on Thursday night. Game scores were 25-16, 25-10 and 25-19. “Unity played hard. The first set was tough and felt like a back-and-forth battle. They have really improved since the first time we saw them in early September. Hats off to Coach Jennifer DeLozier,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “They had good blocking, tough serving, and a lot of scrappy defense. Look for them in the future as they have many strong young players.” After a slow start and the game all knotted up at 7-7, the Pirates finally found their groove and took control of the game, sailing to a 25-16 win. “We are not machines; we are not always firing on all cylinders. Tonight was a little “off” in some areas, yet some players had that “Midas Touch.” (Google it, kids.) Like with any great team or family or organization, there are days when we take turns carrying one another through. And that’s okay,” Allaman-Johnson said of her team. The Pirates found their offense in the second set and dominated from the start, taking this one easily, 25-10. Grantsburg took the last set 25-19, with everyone getting a chance to get in the game and show their stuff. “Our bench showed a lot of poise and composure and continue to build confidence on the court,” the coach noted. “They do a great job of pushing teammates in practice, and are always leaders with good energy on the bench. Every role is valued.” Powerful lefty Kenna Johnson had the hot hand for the night, racking up 12 kills. Rhiana Pochman had eight, with Britta Roufs and Cassidy Lee recording seven each. Sophomore Charli Siebenthal added three kills for the night. Libero Jenna McNally led the Pirates in digs with nine, followed by Alaina Oachs and Siebenthal with eight apiece. Roufs had five. McNally also tallied three ace serves, while Siebenthal and Claire Palmquist had two each. The Pirates will host Frederic on Thursday night. Game time is 7:15 p.m.
Tigers dominant in win over Vikings BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—“The girls came out strong and never let up,” reported Tiger coach Stefanie Janssen after the Tigers defeated the Frederic Vikings 3-0 last Thursday. The game scores indicate the strength – 25-7, 25-11, 25-10. “Sophie (Phernetton) started us off with strong serving, and we were able to run an aggressive offense at the net with great passing from our back row.” A kill by Taylor Howe and two aces by Phernetton enabled the Tigers to get off to an 8-0 advantage before Frederic scored their first point. The Vikings called a timeout when a placement by Mikki Walker and an “under the net” call occurred with the score at 13-3. Webster went on a 12-4 run which included a tap by Phernetton and three kills by Howe, two of which occurred to end the first game. Game two was tied at three when Webster went up 14-3 behind a Phernetton block and a Howe ace. Frederic could get no offense going and the Tigers kept up the pressure from their side of the net. A Phernetton kill made the score 22-7 and a Skyler Winkler kill upped it to 23-9. A Webster kill ended game two at 25-11. Game three was almost a carbon copy of game one, with the Tigers leading 8-0 before the Vikings gathered their first tally. A kill by Howe and two aces by Phernetton led the way.

Phernetton had yet another ace and Howe another kill as the Tigers limited the Vikings to three points. “I’m very satisfied with how the girls played,” praised Coach Janssen. Webster will have hosted Grantsburg, will travel to Luck on Thursday and go to the Amery Tournament on Saturday.
Lady Pirates race to win at Unity BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS
UNITY—The Lady Pirates used a 1-2-3 finish on Thursday to win the Unity Invitational Cross Country meet. Grantsburg’s Grace Gerber captured first place overall as she was the first runner across the line in a time of 20:59.72, followed by teammates Hallie Jensen (2) and Brittanie Blume (3) in times of 21:40.72 and 22:01.18. “There weren’t too many teams there,” coach Andrea Nightengale observed. According to the score sheet, the Pirates, the Unity Eagles and the St. Croix Saints were the teams at the meet — and Unity didn’t field a complete team. The next pack of Grantsburg runners included Danielle Bertelsen (9), Hope McKinley (10) and Maddie Duncan (11) posting times of 24:29.18, 24:49.28 and 25:07.97 respectively. The final finishers for the Lady Pirates included Holly Fiedler (18) and Alyssa Swenson (20), crossing the line in 29:48.09 and 36:58.88. BOYS Despite placing four runners in the top 10, the Pi-
rates were able to come away only with runner-up honors behind a strong Unity team. “The boys all started out in a nice pack and worked hard,” Nightengale stated. “The race was mentally tough for them, due to not having very many runners around — it was more of a mental race with themselves.” The first Pirate across the line was Joe Duncan (3) in a time of 19:11.25, followed by David McKean (5), Chris Hermann (7) and Joseph Ohnstad (9) in times of 19:19.94, 19:35 Danielle Bertelsen and 19:38.56 respectively. Teammates Jared Lee (14) and Trevor Vollendorf (17) were the 5th and 6th runners for the Pirates, posting times of 20:58.22 and 21:26.03. Connor DeTienne (20) and Sven Johnson (24) posted times of 21:41.66 and 22:54.78 and were the last two Pirates across the line.

“For all of the girls (except Sam) this was their first experience in a meet which is very comparable to our Wisconsin State meet,” Ward noted. “The most important lesson was learning to race in a big meet with lots of runners.” The first Tiger across the line was Sam Nelson (128), who finished the 5K race in a time of 23:23. “Sam finished in front of 300 other girl runners,” Ward reported. Nelson was followed by Carolina Ivic (328) and Ali Moritz (338) in times of 28:06 and 28:55.

ing of Randi Siebenthal, going up 5-0 before SCF called a time out. Grantsburg was unfazed and continued to build their lead to 13-6 before the Saints started to rally back to eventually tie up the score at 16 each. The Pirates regained their composure, got some timely big hits and strategically placed hits on SCF’s open floor, regaining the lead and never looking back to take this one 25-23. “We had a smart and effective offense,” coach Allaman-Johnson noted. “While we often see the power of our senior middle hitters Rhiana (Pochman) & Cassidy (Lee), tonight also featured some thundering hits from junior lefty Kenna Johnson. Outside hitters pounded away, too. Senior Britta Roufs & sophomore Randi Siebenthal had key hits that spread out the offense.” The Pirates started fast again in the second set and grabbed an early lead forcing the Saints to scratch their way back into the game. Grantsburg maintained their edge throughout the game and held on for the win, 25-23. “Blockers touched a lot of balls, but SCF had great hitter coverage and picked up most of our deflections. We
ended up with five total blocks, which is not bad against a team that hit smart and found a way around our hands,” Allaman-Johnson said. “Defense sputtered at times with some uncharacteristic errors— especially leaving the left back corner open and a few players not being in a good low position on hitter contact, which accounted for nine of our opponent’s points. However, Jenna (McNally) played flawlessly in the back row and picked up every ball that came her way—a definite difference-maker in the match. The third game started much different with the teams exchanging points back and forth. SCF had their only lead of the entire night in this game with the score at 3-2 in favor of the Saints, but it wouldn’t last long. The Pirates kicked their offense attack up a notch and walked away with a 25-19 win. Pochman led the Pirates in kills with 14 for the night. Johnson tallied eight followed by Lee with seven. Roufs was right there with five and Siebenthal added four kills. Johnson racked up three blocks against the powerful SCF attack. Pochman recorded two and Lee one.

Planning ahead for long term care BY THE INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE SPECIALISTS AT THE ADRC OF NW WI
Saving your money to pay for the nursing home someday? Did you know the average cost of nursing home care in Wisconsin in 2014 was $97,455 per year (Milwaukee JS online, 2014). Maybe you are saving your money to pay for an assisted living facility instead. The Journal Sentinel reports this type of living arrangement averaged a cost of $46,200 per year in 2014. Sound like a lot of money? It is when you consider the median retirement income in the State of Wisconsin in 2013 was $16,603 per year for women and $20,754 per year for men (jsonline, 2014). Add the median income with the fact that nationally, median savings among people over age 65 was $66,900 in 2010 and you still fall short of the $97,455 it will cost for nursing home care. You might be able to use the equity in your home to pay for care so add another $136,000 (average equity in a home) to the amount you have to apply toward your care. You may be able to get your foot in the door of a nursing home or assisted living facility, but according to the figures listed above, you won’t be able to privately pay for long. Care in your own home Paying for long-term care in your own home may be a less costly alternative. Locally, the average cost of in-home care is $20/hour. If you need 10 hours of care per week, that amounts to about $10,400 per year. Pair the in-home cost with some prevention programs to keep you healthy and safe, and you have a recipe for meeting your long-term care needs. Planning ahead for long-term health care needs can reduce stress, ensure your personal choices are honored and help you put your financial resources to best use. Most of us have done a good job at selecting alternate decision makers such as Powers of Attorney for Healthcare and Finance for when we can no longer make our own decisions. However, long-term care planning is something most of us don’t think about. This type of planning involves more than selecting an alternate decision maker. There is a lot to consider and plan for regarding long-term care. What needs to be considered when planning for long-term care needs? • What are things that are most important in your life? • What works well in your life? • Who are important people in your life? • Do you want to live in your own home as long as
possible? • How are you going to pay for your care?
When should long-term care planning begin? • There is no magical age when this should begin. It may be a good idea to think about your long-term care plans around the time you are thinking about retiring. • Sometimes there are situations where long-term care planning needs to occur earlier. Examples include being diagnosed with a debilitating disease that will require support from another or being involved in a car accident that leaves you unable to care for yourself.
Is a Long-Term Care Insurance policy going to cover long-term care needs? • Having Long-Term Care Insurance is a good idea and will help to cover some of the costs associated with your long term care needs. • It is important to understand what your LongTerm Care Insurance policy will and won’t cover. Sometimes insurance will pay a portion of the service or there may be a waiting period in which you have to privately pay for services until the policy will pay.
Local answers for your questions The Information and Assistance Specialists at the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Northwest Wisconsin can help you find answers to all of these questions plus any others you may have. We provide a warm and welcoming environment for you to become educated on what services are available for your customized needs. Information and Assistance Specialists are professionals who are dedicated to providing the most upto-date and unbiased information available. Confidential one-on-one consultation is available to help you think through the pros and cons of the various options in light of your situation, values, resources and preferences.

CAREGIVERS CORNER By Barb Blodgett
Burnett County Interfaith Caregiver “Christmas for Kids” wish lists will be available October 1. Please call the office at 715-8664970 to have a list sent out. This is the only way to get a wish list. We provide Christmas gifts for Burnett County children from infants to age 14 that reside with a custodial parent or guardian. Children from other counties are not eligible. The wish list must be postmarked by November 5. We cannot accept late lists. Include the child’s first and last name, gender, clothing sizes (specific), shoe size (specific) and one reasonably priced toy. Include the address where the child resides and a contact phone number for the parent/guardian, who must sign the wish list. If someone else will be picking up gifts, we need their name. A picture ID will be required for people picking up gifts. Only parents and guardians can apply. A grandparent, aunt, uncle or anyone else cannot apply. In the case of a separated family, only one parent can apply. If a child wants to have a book, please give a specific author or the name of the book. We want kids to have a really nice Christmas and will do our best to fulfill wishes, but there are limits. Once again we are partnering with Toys for Tots.
Adopt-a-family Families may be “adopted” for Christmas gifts. If you would like to adopt one child, we will find a family with only one child. If you want two children, we will find a family with two. Rather than buying something for a specific child, you can donate new toys and clothing. Boots, warm jackets and fashionable teenage clothes are very popular, as are the newest toys. We also accept monetary donations. Buying for children can be difficult, but we have buyers who are pretty knowledgeable in what children want. If you donate the money, someone else can do the shopping. Each family’s gifts will be in a black bag, and children will have no idea what is in that bag. We do not wrap gifts because we give the parent/guardian a chance to see what the children are getting by putting it in a bag that can be opened and inspected. Distribution day is from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 20 at the Webster Fire Hall. Bags that are not picked up will be stored until next year. It’s hard to believe, but people do forget they ordered toys for their children and forget to pick them up. It happens every year. Of course, there are times when someone cannot get to the fire hall on the distribution day. We make allowances. Recently we were speaking at a
church. I began with the history of Interfaith Caregivers. Surprisingly, many people do not know who we are and what we do, even after 20-plus years. Interfaith volunteers are delivering wood to help make some Burnett County homes warmer. We are also distributing quilts made by some wonderful church ladies. Then people can cuddle up and snuggle into the warmth that only a nice quilt can supply. Luckily, we have many groups of volunteers that are working on the Heat-A-Home project so we will have wood to give away for the winter. Denny would like to get it delivered so he will not have to dig through eight feet of snow when someone runs out. Wait. Did I say eight feet? We certainly will NOT have that much snow. Please God, do not give us eight feet of snow. Three feet is even too much. Two feet, not so bad, but even less would be nice. Well, maybe just enough that snowmobiles have enough to ride on. Not that I am a snowmobile or skiing person, I just know there are many who love snow. Let’s hope God keeps everyone happy this winter. Enjoy the fall colors and have a Happy Halloween. Blessings from Barb P.S. Listen to the silence and hear God speak to you.

Wisconsin FoodShare Program myths and realities BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
FoodShare was created to help stop hunger, promote good health, and provide adequate nutrition. Many people benefit from FoodShare each month, including seniors, families, and those with disabilities. FoodShare benefits are distributed on QUEST Cards, which operate like debit cards. These cards can be used at grocery stores, some nutrition sites, and some farmers markets. Participants can purchase almost any kind of food, including fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, bread, and cereal. Participants should note that FoodShare may not cover all purchases. For example, FoodShare dollars cannot be used to purchase alcohol or tobacco. FoodShare is underutilized. Only 1/3 of eligible seniors are enrolled. Some eligible individuals do not want to receive FoodShare benefits. Often, an individual’s reason to not enroll is based on widely-held false beliefs. Let’s separate fact from fiction.
FoodShare myths (and realities): • Myth: My benefit amount will be too low. The maximum FoodShare benefit, for one individual, is $194. The minimum benefit is $16. Some may feel that the application process is not worth $16 per month. Reality: Over the course of a year, the minimum benefit totals to $192! Additionally, benefit amounts can currently be “banked” for up to one year. In other words, individuals do not have to spend their benefits each month. The “banked” benefit can be used when needed most, so long as it is used within a year. You can even “bank” your benefits to plan for nice holiday meals. • Myth: Everyone will know I am using “Food Stamps.” Some individuals may feel embarrassed to use FoodShare.
Be alert for fake Medicare cards
Reality: QUEST Cards are used just like debit cards. There is no roll of stamps, so benefits can be used discretely. Recipients use their QUEST Cards just like any other credit or debit card at the cash register. • Myth: FoodShare is for poor people. Reality: FoodShare is a U.S.D.A.-funded nutrition program, not a welfare program. Importantly, FoodShare helps our local economies. In fact, the U.S.D.A estimated that “every $5 of FoodShare benefits spent generates $9 in economic activity.” Do your part— find out if you qualify. • Myth: I have too many assets to qualify for FoodShare. Reality: Even if you own a home or vehicle, you may still be eligible for FoodShare. In fact, assets are generally not considered as part of the eligibility determination. Individuals age 60 and older do not have to meet the FoodShare work requirements. Accordingly, a senior’s eligibility for FoodShare often turns on his or her gross income. However, if an individual has a high income, he may still be eligible. Interested individuals should contact Great Rivers Consortium at 888-283-0012 to determine whether they meet the eligibility guidelines. Applicants will have a face-to-face or telephone review with an Economic Support worker to determine eligibility. Further, applicants should be prepared to verify all of the information on their application. This may require documents like rent receipts or utility bills. If you think you might be eligible for FoodShare, be sure to contact Great Rivers Consortium at 888-2830012. Your caseworker can provide an individualized eligibility assessment and assistance with your application.
If you think you received a fake Medicare card in the mail: Call 1-800-MEDICARE to confirm that a card was actually sent to you. Your local Social Security office should also be able to confirm that a card was sent to you.
If you think you threw your Medicare card away: Call 1-800-MEDICARE or go to your local Social Security office and request a new card. A new one will be mailed to you within 30 days. If you need proof of your Medicare enrollment sooner than 30 days, you can request a letter from Social Security that should arrive within 10 days of your request. You should also make sure your correct mailing address is on file. As an extra precaution, you will want to monitor your financial accounts carefully, because throwing away a piece of mail with your Social Security number on it may increase your vulnerability to identity theft.

Vaccines are for older adults, too
Precautions you can take if you think your identity’s been stolen
BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
When you hear the word “vaccine,” you may not think vaccinations are for adults, or you may only think of a vaccination for the flu. However, as you age, your immune system weakens and a weakened immune system puts you at risk for a number of diseases. Vaccines help prevent getting and spreading diseases that could seriously affect your health. That is why it is important to pay attention to vaccinations that help protect adults age 60 and over. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one million Americans get shingles every year and half of those people are 60 and older. The CDC also states that over 60 percent of seasonal flu-related hospitalizations occur in people 65 and older. The CDC recommends that all adults receive a seasonal flu vaccine every year, especially older adults and adults who suffer from chronic health conditions. The CDC also recommends that all adults receive the Tdap vaccine, if they did not receive it as an adolescent, and a Td booster shot every 10 years. The Tdap vaccine protects against pertussis (whooping cough), and a Td booster shot protects against the tightening or locking of the muscles, commonly known as “lockjaw.” Here are the specific vaccines the CDC recommends for those 60 and older: • Seasonal flu vaccine. • Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. • Zoster vaccine, which protects against shingles. • For adults 65 and older, the CDC also recommends pneumococcal vaccines, which protect against pneumococcal disease as well as infections in the lungs and bloodstream. If you are unsure about which vaccinations you have received or are recommended for you, talk with your doctor or healthcare professional. Note: Articles are from “GWAAR” which stands for Greater Wisconsin Agency for Aging Resources.
Many of us learn that our credit card information or Social Security number has been stolen after-the-fact when we get an alert from our credit card company about suspicious purchases or we go to apply for something and a red flag is raised. Some people might have a hunch that their information has been compromised before actual proof of theft has occurred. For instance, we recently learned of a woman who gave her credit card information and Social Security number to someone whom she thought was a customer service representative from a television shopping network. At the end of the call, she realized that she had never before been asked for her Social Security number when making purchases, and the whole conversation didn’t sit well with her. She immediately called family members who were able to help her take precautionary steps to avoid further vulnerability to her financial accounts and personal information. If something like this happens to you, there are steps you can take. Here are some things you can do if you suspect personal information has been stolen but do not yet have concrete proof of a theft: •Contact your financial institutions. Call each credit card company and bank where you do financial business to report a suspected theft. Each company will have a different method of monitoring suspicious activity. You should also keep a record for yourself of the institutions you called, the time/date, and the name of the person with whom you spoke. •Place a fraud alert. The next level of protection is to call one of the three credit reporting companies (Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union) and ask for a fraud alert to be placed. Whichever company you call is required to notify the other two companies, but you should still confirm with the company you call that they will follow up with the other two companies. A “fraud alert” means that if anyone tries to open an account using your information, the business must contact you to verify your identity first. Placing a fraud alert is free and stays on your credit report for 90 days. After 90 days, you can renew the alert if you want.
•Monitor your financial accounts. If you weren’t already in the habit of checking your financial accounts, you should be now. Whether you check online or by phone, now is the time to make sure nothing unusual appears on your accounts. This includes checking your credit report regularly. Everyone can get one free copy per year of their credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com. •Contact the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). Often times scammers use your Social Security number to file taxes for you in order to receive your tax refund, if you are owed one. Other times scammers use your Social Security number to apply for jobs, and then report their income under your name. This can cause problems when you go to file your taxes because it will appear as if you haven’t reported all income. •File an online complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). Rather than report suspected identity theft to a local law enforcement agency, the Social Security Administration (SSA) recommends that you file an online complaint with IC3 at www.ic3. gov. IC3 will review and investigate your complaint and then send it to the law enforcement or regulatory agency that has the power to follow through with your claim. You should print a copy of your complaint so that you have a record of filing such a complaint. Other Suggestions: If you help people navigate these issues, it’s important that they do not feel guilty about giving away their information and that they feel comfortable telling you about suspicious activity in the future. Often, older people are embarrassed that they have been taken advantage of or feel like it’s a sign that they’re “slipping,” which may call into question their ability to care for themselves and threaten their independence. Reassure them that scammers are very skilled at what they do, and millions of people (of all ages!) get taken advantage of every year. Also, often times scammers work together, so a person who suspects identity theft should be on the lookout for other suspicious phone calls and letters in the future.

Don’t throw your Medicare card away! BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
It seems as though every week there is a new scam sweeping the country, usually targeting older and vulnerable populations. To keep people up to date, we often write about specific warnings regarding telephone, social media, email and postal mail scams, and what to do to avoid them. However, an unintended result may be that older adults are becoming too cautious. In fact, we recently learned that many people are throwing away the Medicare cards they receive in the mail because they are not “official” looking! This is a problem for two reasons. First, if Medicare cards are going straight to the trash, eligible Medicare beneficiaries are not utilizing their Medicare benefits. You must present your Medicare card to your provider in order to receive coverage. Second, because current Medicare cards contain a person’s Social Security Number (called the Medicare Claim Number), cards winding up in the garbage create potential risk of identity theft. Carry your Medicare card with you Medicare beneficiaries are encouraged to carry their Medicare card with them at all times, but if a Medicare beneficiary’s wallet or purse is lost or stolen, his or her Social Security Number is vulnerable to theft as well. To address this problem, the Social Security Number Removal Initiative (SSNRI) was enacted, which requires that by January 2019, all Medicare beneficiaries have a Medicare card with a Medicare Claim Number different from their Social Security number.
This means that in the next few years, not only will new Medicare beneficiaries be receiving cards in the mail, but existing beneficiaries will be as well. Who receives Medicare cards in the mail? Generally, anyone enrolled in Medicare (Part A, B, or both) – either automatically or through applying – will receive a Medicare card in the mail. Existing Medicare beneficiaries will also begin to receive new cards that no longer contain their Social Security Numbers, although no specific dates have yet been announced. If you also enroll in Medicare Part D for prescription drugs, you will receive a separate card. When do you receive Medicare cards in the mail? If you’re automatically enrolled in Medicare, you’ll get your Medicare card in the mail three months before your 65th birthday or your 25th month of getting disability benefits. Some examples of automatic Medicare enrollment are: • If you’re already receiving Social Security benefits or benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board; • If you’re under age 65 with a disability; or • If you have ALS. If you’re not automatically enrolled and you sign up for Medicare, you should receive your Medicare card within 30 days of completing your application. Medicare presumes that people who do not take early Social Security retirement or SSDI benefits are still working. If you fall into one of these categories and want Medicare, you must apply for it.
Medicare Part D annual enrollment opens Oct. 15 BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
Each year from October 15 through December 7 is the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), also known as the Open Enrollment Period for Medicare Beneficiaries to change their Part C and/or Part D plans. During the AEP, a person can make any of the following changes: • Join a Part D plan (if not already enrolled); • Drop a Part D plan; • Switch to a new Part D plan; • Drop a Medicare Advantage plan and return to Original Medicare; • Join a Medicare Advantage plan with or without drug coverage. Changes made during the AEP will be effective on January 1, 2017. Even if Medicare beneficiaries are happy with their current Part D plan, they should still re-evaluate that drug plan to determine if it will best meet their needs for 2017. Because Part C and Part D plans are privatized, they are allowed to change the terms of coverage every year. New Part D plans become available, and some Part D plans stop offering coverage in the state. Even if a plan continues to offer coverage for the following year, its monthly premium, formulary, pharmacy network, deductible and copay amounts could all change. It’s important that Medicare beneficiaries review their Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), which arrives in the mail on or before September 30. This document notifies Medicare beneficiaries of the changes to their Part D plan that become effective January 1, 2017. The most effective way to choose a Part D plan is by going on the www.medicare.gov website and using the “planfinder” tool. The planfinder asks a person to enter his or her zip code, prescription medications and preferred pharmacies. Based on this information, the planfinder will list the plans that would be most cost effective for that person. Unfortunately, research shows that fewer than 10
percent of Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in the most cost-effective Part D plan. Name recognition or looking at a plan’s monthly premium alone are not good ways to choose a plan. If a person is unsure how to pick and evaluate a plan, the person can utilize the following resources: • Local benefit specialist at the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin at 877-485-2372. • Board on Aging and Long-Term Care Part D helpline (ages 60+) at (855) 677-2783. • Board on Aging and Long-Term Care Medigap helpline at (800) 242-1060. • Disability Rights Wisconsin Part D helpline (ages 18-59) at 800-926-4862.

The Department of Health Services recently released a report regarding life expectancy by county, sex and race/ethnicity in Wisconsin. The data used for this report was gathered from 2010 to 2014. The report examined economic determinants of life expectancy. According to the study, life expectancy generally increases with income. In fact, there is a growing life expectancy gap between folks in the lowest income bracket to those in the highest income bracket. Life expectancy for a Wisconsinite during this time period (2010-2014) averaged 79.6 years. Life expectancy for women was 81.8 years, compared to 77.3 years for men. The Hispanic population had the longest life expectancy of 86.9 years of the race/ethnicity groups. Life expectancy among the Asian population was the second longest at 85.3 years, followed by Caucasians (79.8), African Americans (73.8), and American Indians (72.8). Menominee County had the lowest life expectancy of 72.5 years; whereas Kewaunee County had the highest with 82.0 years. Below is a list of the five counties with the longest and shortest life expectancies. Longest life expectancy: Kewaunee 82.0; Ozaukee 81.8; Pierce 81.6; Waukesha 81.5; Taylor 81.5. Shortest life expectancy: Menominee 72.5; Washburn 76.7; Sawyer 77.1; Ashland 77.5; Millwaukee 77.6. Northwestern Wisconsin counties: Polk and Barron counties, 79.4 to 80.4 years. Burnett, 78.7 to 79.3 years. Ashland, Douglas, Rush, Sawyer and Washburn counties, 72.5 to 78.7 years. To view the full report, please visit https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/ p01551.pdf

I have been eating raw cookie dough since I was a little kid. In fact, I would hang around the kitchen and even offer to wash dishes if I could lick the bowl or the spoon. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), those days are over. The FDA, in conjunction with the Centers for Disease and Prevention, said in a statement issued last week, that it’s not just the eggs we have to watch out for, but also flour. Following an investigation of E.coli which made dozens of people across the U.S. ill from contaminated flour, General Mills recently recalled 10 million pounds of flour products. Dairy Queen has already dealt with this challenge as their Cookie Dough Blizzards does not contain any raw products. What if we tested the flour and processed it in small batches? In fact, some people do that now by purchasing their flour from small mills and

If you harvest an adult deer within these counties, please consider submitting a sample from any harvested adult deer for CWD testing. After sampling approximately 2,000 adult deer within ten miles of the Shell Lake location of the CWD-positive deer from 2011, no other positive deer have been detected. Sampling has been expanded to the four counties in order to detect

When God sings the blues One genre of music that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m starting to appreciate more is Blues music. So much of what we know as popular music today traces its roots back to Blues. Coming from African American field songs, Blues music is distinctive in its call and response pattern, its specific chord structure and the simple power of its lyrics. Part of the trademark style of the Blues is the blue note â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a note that is sung or played at a slightly different pitch than standard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a note that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to fit with what our ear would expect, yet played in the blues,
it brings a great deal of soul and feeling. The blue note is a musical concept, but we also find it in scripture. We hear Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lament, the wail of the blue note through the prophets. Jeremiah 8:22 asks is there a balm in Gilead that can heal the deep hurt of the world? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question that is on the prophetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, but also one that the God who suffers beside us asks. If Jeremiah were looking at our world today he might ask: is there a balm in Gilead to heal the many broken relationships, the dis-
trust in communities, the fear mongering, and violence that brings even more violence? Yet we are called to be the balm that heals the world. We can be the balm by confronting discrimination if we see it, hear it, or if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written online. We may not be able to solve the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems, but we can still be the balm that mends brokenness in relationships and invites friends, neighbors or family to know how renewing and vital a relationship with God can be.
