Captured! BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
Once nominated, Anderson, who has been a band teacher for 30 years, had to submit what she has achieved in the classroom as well as in the community, plus submit three letters of recommendation as part of her application.
SIREN—Captured! With that one word, the residents in the Grantsburg area could take a collective sigh of relief Wednesday night as burglary suspect Earl Baker was apprehended and jailed. “The end for Mr. Baker came when he crashed his vehicle following a high-speed chase last night,” Sheriff Ron Wilhelm explained to members of Burnett County’s Public Safety Committee Thursday morning. “A deputy had hidden a stop stick in a driveway covered with leaves — Baker ran over it and had four flat tires.” He still tried to avoid arrest. “Despite the flat tires, he tried to elude officers and led them on a high speed chase,” the sheriff continued. “At one point, one of his tires just shredded to nothing.” He ended up crashing into a ditch. “One of our law enforcement personnel took him down,” Wilhelm pointed out. “He was armed — he had bragged about not going Earl Baker easily when he was arrested.” Baker had been on the law enforcement radar for a long time for several thefts and burglaries in and around the Grantsburg area, but the situation really came to a head last month after Baker allegedly stole a skidsteer. “When our deputies were inventorying his residence, they discovered three vehicles, a couple of ATVs and 78 other items which had been reported as stolen,” Wilhelm indicated. He said he posted news of the capture on the Sheriff Department’s Facebook page and was inundated with responses. “I got a lot of replies along the lines of ‘Hey, now I can sleep at night knowing Baker is in jail,’” Wilhelm shared. The sheriff said Baker is a prime example of what happens when people get addicted to methamphetamine. “A case like this is where a sniff dog (K-9) would have been a big help,” Wilhelm explained. He said his department has been working on getting a K-9 and hopes to have a dog in place in 2017. “If we’re spending the money, why not get a drug dog and a bite dog?” committee member Don Taylor questioned. That argument made sense to Wilhelm. “We’d only be getting half a dog otherwise,” he agreed. Taylor said federal drug forfeiture funds the county has received could be used for narcotics enforcement. “We have already received about $11,000 in donations, so we’ll use that donation money first and then dip into those forfeiture funds if we have to.” Wilhelm went on to say the department has already

Addressing meth concerns BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—There’s no doubt the words of a former methamphetamine addict had the biggest impact on the audience during a meth town hall event at Grantsburg High School last week.
The standing ovation when he was done speaking was proof of that, but his words carried a lot of weight. “Trying it (meth) was the worst decision I’ve ever made,” Scott Kobs told those assembled. “Out of the last 12 years, 10 of them I’ve spent behind bars.” He said the drug took every-
thing from him — friends, family, job and health. “I especially missed watching my kids grow up — that was tough,” he admitted. He talked of his house being raided, not once but twice, because of his addiction. SEE METH, PAGE 10
Strike up the band for Bryn Anderson BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—In a word, it was a humbling experience. That was Bryn Anderson’s reaction to being nominated for, and ultimately winning, a Herb Kohl Fellowship Award. “That there is somebody out
there thinking your teaching is worthy of recognition — it’s flattering,” the Siren High School band teacher remarked. “It’s very nice to be recognized.” Anderson was a Kohl recipient earlier this year — an honor for educators who are making a difference, both in the classroom and in their community.

Grantsburg board delays Dollar General building permit BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Village Board Monday temporarily denied a building permit to the contractor for Dollar General, halting the developer’s plans to start site work on Wednesday, Oct. 12. The building permit may be granted at a special meeting next Monday, Oct. 17, but in the meantime, Dollar General
and its building contractor have some work to do. As of Monday, Karl Anderson still owns the building site east of the Grantsburg stoplight along Hwy. 70. Village Clerk Jennifer Zeiler said, “The village office had received the permit application and construction plans, but they don’t own the property yet. Karl will let us know when the sale is completed.� She added the building site has not been staked, so Public Works Di-
rector Chris Bartlett has been unable to confirm the construction plan. Village Treasurer Sheila Meyer added the developer agreements have been approved and signed, but “Our attorney says we should wait to approve the project until they have a clear title on the land and have secured financing.� Village President Glenn Rolloff tabled the matter until the special meeting on the 2017 budget, set for 5 p.m. Monday. The board also tabled its plan to authorize a $100,000 Tax Increment Financing bond which the developer required in order to remove and replace soil and fill he says is unsuitable for a construction site. “And, if the paperwork isn’t done by next Monday, we’ll table it again,� Rolloff concluded.
Fire Department seeks members
INDIANHEAD CREDIT UNION DAY
Thursday, October
Trustee Diane Barton, the board’s representative on the Grantsburg Fire Association Board, reported the Grantsburg Fire Department is looking for new members, especially those who are available during the day. The department recently lost two members but gained two new ones, including one from another state who has previous volunteer firefighter experience. Barton said the fire association board has resolved most construction issues with the new fire hall, except for a rain water problem. Barton said the curb beside the new building was incorrectly installed. During hard rain, the curb diverts rain water flowing down Pine Street onto the fire hall driveway and sidewalk, which has washed out parts of the lawn. The cement installer must come back to replace the curb, she said, but the company has been slow to respond. Regarding the former fire hall on Oak Street, Barton said the title has been cleared and the asbestos issue is fixed. She said two local persons have expressed interest in buying the building. It was also recently listed on the state and municipal sales website, www.wisconsinsurplus.com. Barton said a used firetruck the department acquired two months ago is undergoing minor modifications and receiving a coat of green paint. It will join the fleet in December.

Grantsburg Public Library Director Kristina Kelley-Johnson told the village board the library’s early dismissal program is very successful. “When school was dismissed at 1 p.m. last Thursday,
99 kids got off the school buses at the library, and 125 people attended the program the library had prepared for the students.� The library was paired with Domestic Animal Wellness Center and Wildlife Rescue of Siren providing a 45-minute program with live reptiles and other animals. Afterward, the library staff and volunteers kept the kids busy with craft projects, games and snacks until the normal school dismissal time of 3:30 p.m. “Parents want a program at the library that lasts until 3:30, when school usually gets out, so it’s a long time to keep that many kids busy.� Game Warden Chris Spaight will answer questions about game wardens and their duties when the library’s “Books On Tap� book club meets Oct. 26 at the Grantsburg American Legion. The club is reading Open Season by C.J. Box, a book about a Wyoming game warden. Multiple copies of the book are available for checkout at the library.
Meeting time moves to 6 p.m.
The board voted to change its meeting start time one hour later to 6 p.m. with the November 14 meeting. The vote was 5-1, with Trustee Larry Ebersold opposed. Kleiss was absent.
Other matters
• Treasurer Meyer said seasonal camping permits at Memory Lake Park expire Oct. 15. She expects most campers will depart by then. Those that remain will be charged by the night or week, with camping available “until the snow flies.â€? • The board renewed Grantsburg Area Food Shelf’s annual rental agreement for 2017, allowing the food pantry to continue operating in a small section of the building at the current rental rate of $1,500 annually. • Approved a request from Rendezvous Bar owner Mike Janke to host a professionally-fired, 30-minute fireworks show at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, at Memory Lake Park to celebrate his tenth anniversary as business owner. Janke promised the board all the paper and plastic pieces from the exploding shells would be picked up. • Appointed Sheila Meyer interim village clerk while the board searches for a replacement for Village Clerk Jennifer Zeiler, who resigned to accept a position as River Falls City Clerk. Applications for the clerk position may be sent to the Grantsburg Village Office.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol, on Saturday, Oct. 8 at approximately 1:04 p.m., a Ford Explorer driven by Robert E.

The secret is out
No, it wasn’t a 20-day foray into Glacier National Park but it was time away. Time away from life’s daily grind, time away from deadlines, even time away from emptying the dehumidifier water — which included a mouse this week. How’d he get in there, anyway? But I digress. Last weekend the wife and I journeyed to our favorite state park — the Porkies. Yep, long trip just for an overnight but so worthwhile. Is it the hiking amidst all the beautiful colors? Is it cooking Seems to over a wood fire? Is it the soothing lapping the waves make as Me Superior comes ashore? How the fact we can hike for Todd Beckmann about three hours and not see another soul? Well, not Saturday. It seems everyone and their brother has been reading my column and has become a fan of the Porcupine Mountains. Either that, or people love seeing the colors change. One of the prime spots for observing all the colors the Porkies has to offer is a place called Lake of the Clouds — nice spot, gateway to several trails, some gorgeous views and home to a 63-stall parking lot. I only bring that up because it came into play Saturday — that parking lot set a record Saturday as more than 1,600 vehicles stopped to make Lake of the Clouds part of the Saturday outing. For 25-plus years I have been visiting the Porkies because of the serene solitude one can experience there. Not so much on Saturday —I’ve never seen the park busier. In fact, had Saturday been my first visit, I’m quite sure I’d never go back. Yes, the colors were fun to see but life’s too short to put up with people who basically jump out of their cars, see what there is to see, snap a few pictures and jump back into their vehicle to go experience the next thing. But I was there to relax so we found a campsite away from all the hoopla and went about simplifying our priorities. How about food and shelter — simple enough? No backpacking for us last weekend — what turns out as a basic overnighter usually means we are car camping; Not such a bad thing when there was a nip in the air. We brought several sleeping bags for warmth plus our own pillows — none of that backpacking four-inch square fluff ball which is supposed to pass as a pillow for me. Of course, with no furnace to rely on, we had stoked a fairly huge bonfire after making salmon on the grill for supper — so we’d go to bed plenty warm. No one said anything about rain and the clouds had been threatening all afternoon. Finally, right about the time we were ready to turn in for the night, a little precipitation started coming down in the form of snow. Don’t know about you, but for me it’s too early to contemplate the white stuff. It didn’t accumulate and actually reverted to rain — made for a cold night in the tent, especially the 2 a.m. run to the vault toilet.

‘Thanks’ really isn’t enough This week is National Fire Prevention Week, a time to take a look at ways to prevent fires in your home. Sparky the fire dog is the mascot of National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), used to help children understand how fires can start as well as what to do to get to safety. This year, the NFPA is encouragFrom the ing homeowners Publisher’s to replace smoke detectors, great Desk early detection deTom Stangl vices that have a 10-year lifespan. It’s also a good idea to have a fire extinguisher and a plan to get out of your home should the unthinkable happen. At the very least, take the time this week to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. In my mind, this week is also a great time to give thanks for the brave men and women that staff our fire departments. These volunteers put in countless hours in continuing education as well as time training for all sorts of scenarios where their neighbors are in harm’s way. When I was child, the visits by
members of the fire department to the school during fire prevention week were high water marks of October. They came in their turnout gear and gave us rides on the fire trucks. I was never lucky enough to be the one that got to blow the horn, but taking a brisk ride on the back of a fire truck with the siren and lights on was quite a rush. Even the “School Days” book, where you kept your report cards, class photos and kept track of new friends had a section that encouraged choosing being a fireman as a career. Boys and girls each had six choices and one fill-in-the-blank future career path to choose from. The choices for boys were: fireman, policeman, cowboy, astronaut, soldier and baseball player. The exciting career choices for girls were: mother, nurse, school teacher, airline hostess, model and secretary. Hey, it was the 1960s after all and those were the choices we lived with during our formative years. I was pretty sure I would be an astronaut, but here I am. Firefighting has changed a great deal over the years. In the early days, if you didn’t pay a fee to the fire department for fire protection and your house caught on fire, firemen would come to watch your house burn down.

Powerful motivation for getting with the program. Those days are long gone, and everyone enjoys protection from fire departments. As technology improves, fires are detected earlier and extinguished with as little damage as possible to the structure. In addition to making us safe, a good fire department will save property owners money. The Insurance Service Office (ISO) rates departments for their ability to protect homes, giving a numeric rating. The lower the number, the better your fire protection is and, in most cases, your property insurance rates decline as well. You will find a section in this week’s paper saluting the departments that serve our community. If you know or see any of these people, take a moment to thank them for the hard work they put in 365 days a year to make sure we are safe. It’s literally the least we can do for those who stand ready to do so much for us. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875
The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875.

The 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 Duffy’s the right choice for us
To the Editor: Congressman Sean Duffy is exactly the kind of fighter Wisconsin needs in Washington. As Washington continues to recklessly spend all of our hard-earned money, degrade our moral code, and shove more rules made by bureaucrats into our lives, Sean is fighting hard for us in Washington and Wisconsin. We see him around the community – in parades, at meetings, forums and events. We are incredibly lucky to have Sean as our Congressman, because he is not only a role model for his eight children and wonderful family, but also is an example of a true citizen legislator. Wisconsinites should be proud of his leadership in the recent PROMESA legislation, which put Puerto Rico economically back on track without using a single taxpayer dollar. This important legislation secured hope in the economic future of Puerto Rico by addressing the impending financial crisis, all while ensuring the prevention of a bailout of the territory on the backs of American taxpayers. That’s why I am proud to say Congressman Sean Duffy is my representative. He fights for the issues important to Wisconsinites and the fiscal protection of our nation. Matthew Denn Grantsburg
Time for a change To the Editor: For the last six years, Senator Sheila Harsdorf has stopped listening to the people of our district. Instead, she has focused her efforts to benefit the interests of large corporations and wealthy donors. She embraces the “pay-to-play” lawmaking that has sullied our state’s politics by voting for laws that benefit the corporations helping to elect her and other Republicans – laws that make it harder to investigate the source and amounts of this corrupting money. Here are a few of the many bad ideas Ms. Harsdorf has voted for: • Mining legislation written by Gogebic Taconite after the company contributed $930,000 to the Wisconsin Club for Growth. • Giving immunity from legal liability to NL Industries for the poisoning of over more than 2,000 Wisconsin children with lead paint – this after a $750,000 donation to the Wisconsin Club for Growth. • Gutting Wisconsin’s open records law allowing concealment of records of contacts and other decisions made by elected officials. • Dissolving the independent Government Accountability Board. • Gerrymandering voting districts.
• Redirecting tax money from public schools and into unaccountable charter schools. • Giving $200 million to the wealthy owners of the Milwaukee Bucks for a new stadium. • Slashing $250 million of funding from our UW-System. • Eliminating UW tenure from state statute, weakening UW-River Falls. • Cutting the DNR budget and weakening environmental protections. • Driving down average working family salaries by attacking labor unions. If you are concerned by Ms. Harsdorf’s dedication to serving the interests of out-of-state donors over our district’s needs, then vote for Diane Odeen for State Senate on November 8. With a record of admirable public service, Odeen will make an effective and honorable state senator who will listen to the voters not big donors. Timothy Hall Hudson
Representing our values To the Editor: My name is Steven Johnsen. Born and raised in Superior, I attended UW-Superior under the GI bill. I have retired after a career in operations of waste treatment facilities. I receive Medicare and Social Security benefits. I have been privileged to participate in civic, community and non-profit organizations as a volunteer and board member and hold in high esteem others who do the same. The mean-spirited vitriol of the current political environment has caused me to share my views and offer support to candidates that demonstrate a career of service and show respect for the people they ask to represent today. One such person is Mary Hoeft, Democratic candidate for Wisconsin 7th congressional seat, currently held by Sean Duffy. Mary Hoeft shows her commitment to people of the region in her career as an educator, advocate and supporter of causes that make a difference in the lives of people in our district. She lives by the smell test – if something stinks she strives to understand the issue, gathers information from those impacted by the issue and doesn’t back down when she comes face to face with people in power. She pushes through barriers to find those truths that matter and helps others to reach understanding through patience, study and discussion. I agree with Mary that her opponent cannot be for us when his candidacy is funded (over two million dollars in the last six years) by outside interests in the finance industry and Wall Street bankers. He thinks his seat on a House Finance Oversight Committee is more important than his responsibilities to
the residents of his district. He routinely rejects requests by constituents for support because he doesn’t identify with issues that affect people’s lives. This stinks, and it’s time we tell Sean Duffy that he does not represent our northern Wisconsin values and should no longer represent us in Washington. The people know the truth about the candidates. Only Mary Hoeft deserves your support. Join me in voting for Mary Hoeft for Wisconsin District 7 United States Congress on November 8. Steven Johnsen Superior
In His image To the Editor: When God created man in His image, He had great hopes for man. He created Adam and Eve. Their first child was Cain and he killed his brother, Abel. Here we are in 2016, and we have a Kaine on the ticket. He believes in killing unborn babies. He believes a female has the right to abort the baby. How many can she abort? 1? 10? 15? Human females are the only species who do that, and we are supposed to be the most civilized. I think we have lost our humanity. We’re lower than the most primitive creature. Donna Shogren Grantsburg
When enough is enough To the Editor: Sheila Harsdorf and her 16-year voting record as Senator will go down as the darkest days of Wisconsin’s once-proud history. Senate District 10’s voices have fallen on deaf ears since her departure for Madison in 2000.
A few highlights: - Sheila Harsdorf is and has been beholden to corporate farms, turning her back on family farmers in her district years ago. Small family farms are the backbone of our district, and Sheila has betrayed them and the public-at-large in a myriad of ways going back to 2002 and continuing into 2016 with her recent vote for high-capacity wells. https://goo. gl/AXUfSh. - She has failed miserably on conservation with a 2015-2016 report card score (LCV) of 11 percent for conservation and voting against clean ground water, shoreland protections, clean air, healthy forests and local control. - She has repeatedly voted to suppress voter access for Wisconsin citizens. - She has voted against affordable health care. - She has abused her position on the Joint Committee on Finance to further the agenda of corporate donors. Like Donald Trump’s silence regarding tax statements, Sheila Harsdorf has been shamelessly silent about her most recently revealed betrayal of Wisconsin citizens and 171 lead-poisoned children. - As a member of the finance committee, she voted in support of a last-second motion to protect Simmons’ Corporation from liability for poisoning these 171 children, the same corporation that contributed $750,000 to help fund her recall election. Public service is no longer Sheila Harsdorf’s calling, nor has it been for quite some time. This is about maintaining political power and the incestuous relationships between special interests that fund campaigns for political favors, and those legislators like Sheila Harsdorf that do their bidding. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me; five times, and I’m a darned fool! Melanie Weberg Osceola

BAKER: Highlights need for K-9 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
located a Belgian Malinois puppy in Yugoslavia they will be getting later this year. Once the dog is secured, it’ll get tracking training at the St. Paul (Minn.) Police Department in February and then get certified in narcotics in March. “Once the snow melts, there will be the tactical (attack) portion of the training,” Wilhelm said. “All of that training is done outdoors.” The committee voted unanimously to proceed in getting a multi-purpose K-9. “This is a tremendous day for Burnett County,” the sheriff concluded. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR “We had toyed with the idea of the Emergency Management Director (EMD) doing EM work but also helping in the Sheriff’s Department — it seemed to make sense,” County Administrator Nate Ehalt told the committee. “However, after discussing it, we think the skill sets needed would be hard to find in one person.” With that in mind, he said the county will be searching for an EMD candidate to work 28 hours per week. “I’ve already been contacted by a few people regarding the job,” he added. “I don’t anticipate a problem filling the job.” He said current EMD Rhonda Reynolds has agreed to stay on for six months to work with the new hire to ensure a smooth transition. “It’s an attractive package from
my perspective,” Reynolds offered. Ehalt said he hopes to have the new EMD on board by mid-December. In other business: • Reynolds said she is working on a long-term power outage response scenario. “It’s a little like pulling a loose thread and watching it all fall apart,” she exclaimed. Just for starters, she has discovered there’s no emergency backup generator on the fuel pumps at the airport — the site where the Sheriff Department personnel get their fuel. Likewise, area fire departments and North Ambulance, which rely on commercial fuel vendors, don’t have a long-term plan to maintain operations if the power goes out. This was not good news for committee members. “In the case of a catastrophic event, it’s more likely than not that a lot of government programs would be adversely affected,” Taylor remarked. “It would behoove us to start planning.” • Clerk of Courts Trudy Schmidt informed the committee she is in the process of mailing out 965 jury questionnaires to create a jury pool for 2017. • Reynolds reported she conducted an “eyes-on” tour of the nine communication towers last week to ensure all looked good heading into the winter season. “Things which caused problems for us last winter have been fixed, so I think we’re ready,” she concluded.

BAND: Kohl Fellowship awards good teaching
“I learned in January I had survived the first round of cuts through the local CESA,” Anderson continued. “From there, my application went to the Kohl group for the final choice.” She said 100 educators throughout the state are so honored by Sen. Kohl each year. As a winner, Anderson received a $3,000 stipend for herself and the school won $3,000 as well. “I used that money awarded to the school for some metal peg board in order to organize the percussion instruments here in the band room,” she clarified. But the recognition for doing a good job is what meant the most to her. “Our former district administrator, Scott Johnson, had nominated me,” Anderson stated. Hundreds of educators are nominated each year, but for Johnson, Anderson was an easy choice. “The elite educators are those who display an unwavering passion for kids and possess a special skill that brings out the best in all students while teaching them to have fun and demonstrate pride in what they do,” Johnson remarked. “Unlike most other jobs, a band instructor’s job performance gets evaluated publicly at every concert, every home game, and every parade — Mrs. Anderson just never disappoints.” And he’s not alone. “Personally, I think Mrs. Anderson exemplifies what it means to be a distinguished educational professional,” Kevin Shetler, current district administrator, said about Anderson. “Her commitment and dedication to her students, the district and the Siren community is undeniable — I consider it an honor to serve with Bryn as a colleague.” Julie Strang, the band director at Webster High School, echoed those comments. “From the band director next door, Bryn is a role model for running a great program and providing so many positive outlets for the students at Siren High School,” she added. Great program indeed. “I have 87 kids in the high school band this year,” Anderson exclaimed. “It’s the biggest group I’ve ever had.” It all reflects positively on Anderson. “It is abundantly clear that all students care very much for her — they respect her and learn from her,” Johnson pointed out. “Bryn hasn’t built her success in education by focusing on just the best athletes, or just the top honor students — she accepts, motivates and succeeds with every type of student.” Anderson is disarmingly modest when it comes to her success.

“I don’t know how or why I get so many,” she pointed out. “I try to make it fun and I try to make it meaningful.” Others are not quite as modest. “The Siren band program is, and has been, the pride of the Siren community, which is second to none,” Johnson concluded. “Bryn Anderson is responsible for making that happen because of her devotion to her students.” Anderson admits that a lot of that success is due to the fact she teaches both middle school and high school band. “I see them from the time they pick out their instrument in the fifth grade until they walk out the door at graduation,” she stated. “I work with these kids for eight years — not a lot of teachers can say that.” Band teachers usually have a favorite instrument they play and Anderson is no different. She said she is partial to the clarinet but has also made good strides learning to play the trombone. “As you teach, you learn to play ‘em all,” she laughed. As most teachers do, Anderson remains in active mode, band-wise. “I play clarinet for the Don Zimmer Polka Band and play clarinet for the Bill Bittner Memorial Dixieland Band,” she concluded. “I also play percussion instruments for the Northwind British Brass Band.”
GRANTSBURG—With laughter, praise, jokes and some watery eyes, Grantsburg Village Board members said farewell to longtime Clerk Jennifer Zeiler, who resigned to accept a position as River Falls City Clerk. Zeiler was employed for 17½ years, serving the community, three village presidents and numerous trustees. Family, friends and former board members gathered for cake, coffee and to wish her well. Village President Glenn Rolloff (2013 to present) was joined by former presidents Roger Panek and Mark Dahlberg. Panek was a trustee from 1999 to 2009, then served as village president until retiring from the board in 2013. Dahlberg served the village board 43 consecutive years, as a trustee from 1966-1995 and as village president from 1995 to 2009. “I’m not at all happy about this,” Rolloff said with a rueful grin. “Jennifer has been my mentor. She’s been my backbone when I felt like caving in. She means well for everybody and we’re going to truly miss her. She has been a really good face for the village for 17½ years. Thank you and best wishes.” With that, the assembly took a break to present Zeiler with flowers and share her cake, and extend their gratitude.
Muehlberg appointed
When they resumed about a half-hour later, the first order of business was to fill the board position vacated by John Dickinsen, who resigned three months into his three-year term. The board appointed Caylin (Bowman) Muehlberg.

Updates for a Safer Bathroom One trend we are seeing in our industry is that many people are choosing to update their bathrooms in ways that make them safer and more accessible for family members who are aging or who have disabilities. Simple improvements can include adding grab bars and installing hand-held shower heads. Some people are able to handle these types of improvements themselves, others hire professionals to help. Larger projects include replacing toilets with taller models and installing accessible shower stalls and walkin bathtubs. Unless they have very strong plumbing and construction skills, most people are best served by using professional contractors to complete these moreinvolved updates. If you have a family member who might be at risk of falling in the bathroom, it might be wise to consider making some of these changes.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL
OCTOBER 12, 2016 www.burnettcountysentinel.com
Election 2016 guideBURNETT COUNTY—As Wisconsin voters prepare to head to the polls Nov. 8, incumbent Republican legislators face competition from Democrats and, in two cases, third party candidates. Starting today and in the Oct. 19 and Oct. 26 editions, the Burnett County Sentinel will focus on federal, state and local election races in an effort to create a better-informed electorate. This week, hoping to represent Wisconsinites in the House, Democrat Mary Hoeft is challenging Republican incumbent Sean Duffy for the 7th U.S. Congressional District Seat. Running for Congress, Wisconsin’s current U.S. Senator, Republican Ron Johnson, is racing against the state’s former U.S. Senator, Democrat Russ Feingold, who served the role from 1993 to 2011. Libertarian Phil Anderson has also thrown his hat in the ring. The Sentinel posed two questions to all candidates. The candidate responses which follow, limited to a total of 500 words, were edited for length as necessary.
U.S. House of Representatives 7th District
CANDIDATE RESPONSES — SEAN DUFFY (REPUBLICAN, INCUMBENT) What abilities and experiences make you the best candidate to represent the people of the 7th U.S. Congressional District? My family has deep roots in Northern Wisconsin and I am proud to call it home. I know and love this district. I went to Hayward High School and I represent like a Cane because your issues are my issues. Rachel and I are raising our eight children in our district so we have a real stake in the safety and economy of northern Wisconsin. I’m worried that our economy is sputtering instead of booming. A big part of the reason is that Washington is telling us what to do and how to run our businesses. This doesn’t just hurt small business owners. It hurts workers, families and anyone who has a dream to start their own business. We need jobs and we need the federal government to get out of the way because Wisconsin wants to work! As your representative, I wake up every day determined to Sean Duffy take our commonsense, Wisconsin values to a place that is in desperate need of it - Washington DC. If elected to represent District 7, what are two or three key policies you would pursue during your term and how would you go about it? My top priority as your representative is to fight to preserve freedom and the opportunity to prosper. Too many people in our district and around the country have been left behind by the Obama economy. Poverty rates and the income gap have increased over the last eight years. Big-government policies and mandates from Washington that increase taxes and regulations don’t work! We’ve seen more Americans become dependent on government programs that are poor substitutes for the financial independence they want and deserve. There’s a better way. I’m committed to fighting for policies that expand opportunity and encourage upward mobility. That’s the American Dream I believe in. Over the last eight years we have also seen our constitutionally protected freedoms challenged and in many cases eroded. Free speech, religious liberty, the right to bear arms — all have been under assault. The current administration has also weaponized government, using the power of the IRS to intimidate citizens and shut down dissenting points of view. This is frightening. Most troubling has been President Obama’s executive overreach. Our country was founded on a system of checks and balances. Congress makes laws and the President’s job is to enforce them. We have moved dangerously away from these founding principles. As Chairman of the Financial Services SubCommittee on Oversight, I have worked hard to shine a spotlight on these abuses of power and hold rogue bureaucrats accountable.
CANDIDATE RESPONSES — MARY HOEFT (DEMOCRAT, CHALLENGER) What abilities and experiences make you the best candidate to represent the people of the 7th U.S. Congressional District? Congress has a six percent approval rating for a good reason. Elected representatives appear unwilling to walk across the aisle to speak to members of another party. Why? Because compromise has become a dirty word. I’m not a politician. When elected to office, my obligation will be to serve the people of my district. My obligation will not be to serve my ego. I will not add
to the gridlock in Congress where the attitude is “my way or the highway.” I will bring to Congress the tools to break the gridlock. I spent my career developing university courses that teach students to solve problems by examining many perspectives, not just their own. For example, when a small grocery store ownMary Hoeft er expressed concern that an increase in the minimum wage would harm his business, I suggested that federal subsidies be put in place over the years that the living wage was being implemented. If his business was negatively impacted at the end of the third year, the subsidies would continue. He tilted his head and said, “Something to think about.” When dairy farmers came to me and said they were suffering from the drastic decrease in sale prices from $27 per 100 pounds to $14.70, I asked, “How can the federal government help?” They said, “Implement Supply Management.” When those same dairy farmers spoke to Sean Duffy, he told them he represented the banking financial sector. Apparently dairy farmers weren’t his concern even though the 7th Congressional District has more dairy farms than any other district in the country. When a Dairy Relief Open Letter was written, asking for the release of reserve funds to help dairy farmers in these difficult times, Duffy didn’t sign the letter. Duffy has turned his back on the 7th Congressional District, serving instead the wealthiest one percent, the investors of Wall Street. When elected, I promise to serve the people of my district. If elected to represent District 7, what are two or three key policies you would pursue during your term and how would you go about it? When elected to Congress, I will work to eliminate all tax incentives Sean Duffy has voted for that have made it “cost effective” for company owners to terminate more than five million manufacturing workers and send their jobs outside our borders. I will work to bring those jobs back. I will strengthen social security by taxing Wall Street speculative transactions and will direct those billions of tax dollars to the social security program to make it stronger. I will work relentlessly to take the money out of politics. Sean Duffy chairs a banking oversight committee and, in the last few months, has accepted more than $400,000 in political contributions from bankers. He has almost two million dollars, from huge donors, ready to use against me in the final weeks of this campaign. My opponent’s attention has been given to the highest bidder. That is wrong. It must go to the people we are elected to serve. My promise, when elected, is to be your voice in Congress.
and after graduating, helped start a plastics manufacturing company. I did everything from installing and operating the machines to keeping the books. I like to say, at PACUR, we exported Wisconsin products, not jobs. I’ve spent my career in the private sector and learned valuable lessons – the value of a hard day’s work and how to solve problems. That’s the approach I’ve used in the Senate to get real results for Wisconsinites. My committee has passed 83 bills — most on a bipartisan basis — and 28 have been signed Ron Johnson into law. Generally, these bills are designed to make government more efficient, effective and accountable, and strengthen our economic and national security. Working together and building consensus is how I’m fighting for people all across our state. If elected to represent Wisconsin citizens, what are two or three key policies you would pursue during your term and how would you go about it? As the only manufacturer in the U.S. Senate, I’m taking that outsider’s approach I learned in my more than 30 years in the private sector to get things done for Wisconsinites. That starts by finding areas of agreement to take on the dysfunction in Washington and to help Wisconsinites keep more of their hard-earned money to provide for themselves and their families. We can do that with pro-growth tax reform and scrapping burdensome regulations. I remain focused on keeping our local communities safe, and I’ve passed legislation into law to help keep terrorists out of the United States and to improve our cybersecurity defenses. I’ve also supported strengthening our military and called on the administration to lead by assembling a committed coalition and develop SEE CANDIDATE, PAGE 9

CANDIDATE RESPONSES — RUSS FEINGOLD (DEMOCRAT, CHALLENGER) What abilities and experiences make you the best candidate to represent the people of Wisconsin as their U.S. Senator? During this campaign, I visited each of Wisconsin’s 72 counties in 2015 and again in 2016. What I hear from Wisconsinites from Polk County to Dane County is the same: they are having a tough time making ends meet in an economic system that works for multi-millionaires and corporations but not for them or their families. They’re struggling to pay their bills. They’re worried about the rising cost of college. But Senator Johnson isn’t listening to the concerns of Wisconsin families. He’s happy to support his big DC special interest, while hard working Wisconsinites get shut out. Russ Feingold Wisconsinites want leaders who will stand up to the special interests and fight for middle class and working families. If elected, that’s exactly what I’ll do. If elected to represent Wisconsin citizens, what are two or three key policies you would pursue during your term and how would you go about it? My top priority is to create an economy that works for Wisconsin’s middle class and working families. So I would immediately focus on passing a federal minimum wage increase, guaranteeing paid leave for workers, protecting the retirement security of working Americans and seniors, and making higher education more affordable. Most Wisconsinites want the same things: they want a good-paying job that lets them pay the bills and spend a little time with their families. They want to have access to a decent education for themselves and their kids without being drowned in debt for the rest of their lives. And, they want to be able to retire with dignity, with the promise of Social Security to support them. In the Senate, I’ll get to work immediately to achieve these things for the middle class and working families of Wisconsin.

an effective strategy to actually defeat ISIS, and I staunchly oppose the Iran Deal. It’s clear that economic and national security are inextricably linked, and that’s why we need a strong economy, so we can strengthen our military, defeat terrorism, and secure our border. One of the most pressing issues that I’ve led on is the opioid epidemic. Drugs have affected so many Wisconsin families – including my own – and it must be addressed because it’s tearing families and communities apart. There are many steps we need to take, but one thing is clear, we need to secure our southern border to keep drugs from flowing into the country. I introduced the PROP Act (Promoting Responsible Opioid Prescribing), which HHS recognized as important enough to implement using their regulatory authority.
businesses: I am the General Manager of Green Cab of Madison and broker/owner of Silver Compass Realty. I have been involved in my community my entire life. From teaching Sunday school, volunteering at a local shelter, starting and operating a transportation non-profit, and working with the vast variety of people that use and work for taxi companies, I know people. I have also been interested in politics my whole life, and along with my personal and professional experience, my political views and philosophy make me uniquely qualified to be the next U.S. Senator from Wisconsin. My core belief is this: that people all over the world want the same things. We all want to live our lives as we choose, so Phil Anderson long as we don’t interfere with the rights of others to do the same. We want to live peacefully, and relatively prosperously, while maintaining our privacy. This is the core of Libertarian principle, and the way most of us were raised. As a Libertarian, I owe no party, nor corrupt, dishonest nominee, any loyalty. I will not meet with lobbyists, nor be influenced by big donors and corporate interests. I will represent you, and all of us, bearing in mind that government’s sole purpose is to safeguard individuals’ rights, not pick winners and losers. My opponents pretend to represent you, but are merely tools in a much larger machine that infringes on your liberties, profits from your wages, and is indifferent to the death and destruction it inflicts on the world. I will fight for personal liberty. I will fight for the humanity that we all have in common, not practice identity politics to divide and distract. I will fight for all, and each of us, for equality of opportunity, and equality of justice. If elected to represent Wisconsin citizens, what are two or three key policies you would pursue during your term and how would you go about it? I will fight to bring our troops home, and end regime change, drone strikes, wars for oil and the dollar, all of which turn the world against us. I will expose war profiteering and end no-bid military contracts. I will fight to end the War on Drugs, which disproportionately incarcerates people of color for victimless crimes, enriches criminals, and invades our privacy. It has failed. I will fight to end the War on Privacy, by introducing legislation that supports our 4th Amendment protections from unlawful search and seizure, extending those protections to our email, web browsing and cell phone communications. I will introduce the Read the Bills Act in the Senate, requiring that every bill be read by representatives before they vote. Bills must be posted online for 72 hours before voting, allowing citizens time to analyze pending legislation and influence their representatives. I will introduce the One Subject at a Time Act in the Senate, requiring that each bill have a name that reflects its content, and that bills are voted on individually.

METH: Nine panelists describe pitfalls of methamphetamine use and abuse CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“I tried to give it up but it isn’t easy to quit,� Scott continued. “It gets ahold of you.� Indeed, Sheriff Ron Wilhelm told the crowd meth is one of the most addictive substances there is. His words were echoed by Lil Pinero, AODA coordinator, who served as the event’s emcee. “It is one of the most destructive drugs available,� she said. Scott said his life of bad choices began when he was 16 and tried smoking pot. In 1991 he switched to acid and cocaine and finally switched to methamphetamine. Judge Ken Kutz, who presides over the county’s drug court, said that sounded familiar. “Half of our graduates in the last year have said methamphetamine was their drug of choice,� the judge pointed out. The sheriff said the problem has only gotten worse as the years have gone by. “I’ve been in this county more than 25 years,� he pointed out. “Since Day One, meth has been an issue.� Case in point is 2015. “We made 82 meth arrests in 2015 — that’s up 48 percent from 2014,� Wilhelm observed. “Our deputies seized 400 grams of the stuff in 2015 — that’s a 1,363 percent increase from the year before.� Darren Cox, a counselor with Anchor Bay Counseling, said the community as
a whole can’t afford to turn a blind eye to the problem, one which he called an equal opportunity destroyer. “I don’t understand why people would willing ingest the poisons used to make methamphetamine — poisons like drain cleaner and anhydrous ammonia. But when I talk to users, they all say the same thing — the consequences never outweigh the alleged benefits.� The drug depletes the brain’s ability to self-regulate. He has seen his share of meth addicts and they all sing different verses of the same tune — “I’d rob my own Dad if I had to in order to get money for more meth.� Kate Peterson, the director of the county’s health and human services department, said the statistics bear out the truth of how bad the substance is. “Our department handled 129 referrals for child protection in 2011 — in 2015 that number was up to 462,� she said. “We already know we will be at the same number or higher when 2016 is in the books.� From her perspective, it is obvious meth is having a huge impact on kids and families, as well as other costs like the loss of safe neighborhoods, increased crime and higher staff costs to handle the impact. But she did offer a simple solution to addicts. “Seek professional help,� she offered. “Help is just a phone call away.�

Judge Ken Kutz
Byron Hopke, a co-worker of Peterson’s, continued her attack on the drug. “We know these 21-day or 28-day treatment programs don’t help with the addiction,� he pointed out. “There are cases where an individual has been sober for 14 months, yet his brain still shows signs of abuse.�
That’s why Hopke is attempting to create a meth diversion program. “It would be similar to drug court with one big difference,� he explained. “It would be a way to get people the help they need without the felony conviction you see in drug court.� One point was hammered home more than anything else during the 90-minute town hall. “If you see something, say something — report it,� Judge Kutz, as well as others, intoned. The turnout for the event, billed as an evening of education by Tammy Hopke, Burnett County Restorative Justice, was less than she had hoped for. “I counted 30 people,� she said at the end of the evening. “But that’s 30 people who heard our message — maybe they’ll share it with friends and family.� Wilhelm, who was equally disappointed with the turnout, was not shy expressing his opinion. “It was poorly attended,� he declared. “I think it showed Grantsburg is in denial of the meth drug problem the county is experiencing.� The Grantsburg event was sandwiched between two other methamphetamine town halls — one in Siren in June, the third in Webster tonight (Oct. 12).

New tour map available just in time for fall color tours
SIREN—Originally published in 2009, the 3rd edition ‘Siren & Burnett County Tour Map’ is hot off the press and making its way to locations throughout the county just in time for fall color touring. The map features highlights in Siren as well as throughout Burnett County. “Within a landscape of winding riverways, soaring pines and incredible wetlands, you’ll find Siren & Burnett County.” Four driving options are offered, each covering a different quadrant of the county. Tour 1 — ‘Sites & Savouries’ covers the southwest and includes historic Trade Lake, Fish Lake Wildlife Area bird viewing, St. Croix River sites, Crex Meadows Wildlife Area Visitors Center, Burnett Dairy Cooperative Cheese Store, and Smoland Inn Store and Hennessey Vineyard. Tour 2 — ‘Feathers, Foliage and Fun’ covers the northwest and includes bird viewing at Black Brook Flowage, St. Croix River scenic views at Nelson and Thayers Landings, St. Croix Casino Danbury, and Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. Tour 3 — ‘Majestic Forest and the Rivers that run thru it’ covers the northeast and includes Riverside and the CCC Bridge Landings, Namekagon Trail Landing, Twenty Six Lake viewing, and the historic CCC road. And Tour 4 — ‘Water and Wine’ covers the southeast and includes numerous lakes along the way to the Sacred Grove with its labyrinth and Clover Meadow Winery. Detailed driving directions for each tour call out special stops along the way for sightseeing and picnicking, plus unique businesses to enjoy. Canoe access, cross-country ski areas, county parks, and golf courses are noted. This new edition map also includes farmers’ markets, biking trails, arts studios and galleries, and Siren’s public use
e-vehicle charger location designations. Content on the map back has been significantly updated, including leverage of the new Burnett County Tourism Coalition branding as well as Siren’s recent rebranding initiative. Visitors are welcomed and invited to “Stop, Stay, and Savour the Sights that are Burnett County ... Spirited Waters and Inspiring Wildlife.” The ‘Stop’ section notes nine key ‘reasons’ why “Burnett County is your premier northwest Wisconsin destination.” Home of a ‘Wisconsin Wetlands Gem;’ one of only two national parks in Wisconsin; and the most wildlife acreage of any county in Wisconsin are but three boasts for our county —in addition to 100,000 acres of majestic county forest, 500-plus pristine lakes, 14 sparkling clear rivers, and never-ending miles of trails.
Art fair gives back more than $14,000
VOYAGER VILLAGE— It has been 39 years since a small arts and crafts show was held at Voyager Village. Today the Voyager Village Arts and Crafts Show has become a Labor Day Weekend tradition that draws thousands and, thanks to their board, return thousands of dollar to worthy charities. Since it originated, the Voyager Village Arts and
Crafts Show has given more than $50,000 to worthy charities in Burnett and Washburn counties. This year the show donated $14,200 back to the region. This has been a juried show, so only those vendors who sell an acceptable level are invited back the following year. The show presently features more than 100 vendors.

“The show committee is grateful for the quality of product provided for sale, all of which is hand-made,” said funding chairman Don Hallberg. A large part of the show’s success is the many volunteers who make it work. Most of the volunteers are members of Voyager Village, and some are from the agencies considered for funding. The show continues to grow in popularity. More than 8,000 people attended the show this year over the two days of the Labor Day Weekend. The donations from Voyager Village help fund many diverse groups in the area, from Cub Scouts to fire departments. Yellow River Food Distribution plans to use the money donated from the arts and crafts show to help provide turkeys over the holidays to the more than 200 families they service. Interfaith Caregivers
of Burnett County has been in business for 20 years. “We do so many things,” director Barb Blodgett exclaimed. “We help anyone who needs help. We deliver food to people who need it, we build wheelchair ramps — we’re on our 83rd.” The organization also has a “Heat a Home” project which provides firewood for families in need. It’s a nice thing to have when the northwestern Wisconsin winter winds blow cold. And Doug McCreadie of the Scott Fire Department said this year’s donation is very timely. “We’re installing an air tank fill station for our backpacks for when we go into a burning building,” he told the group gathered at Kilkare Lodge. “They cost about $19,000, and we’re installing them with money from generous donations like this.” By Bill Thornley, Spooner Advocate

Foundation gala
DRESSER—The St. Croix Valley Healthcare Foundation (SCVHF) held its 21st Annual Fundraising Gala at the Trollhaugen Convention Center on Sept. 21. The event featured hors d’oeuvres, silent auction items, exciting drawings, and an enthusiastic live dessert auction. The announcement of the Healthcare Advocate Award to Dr. John Ingalls of Webster was the highlight of the evening. The Healthcare Advocate Award recipient, a closely guarded secret until the evening of the Gala, was presented by Dave Dobosenski, St. Croix Regional Medical Center (SCRMC) CEO. The award is given annually to recognize the efforts of an individual who promotes the ideals of healthcare and has contributed countless hours to the ideals of healthcare in the region. Dr. Ingalls did his undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota and graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. He completed his residency in Eau Claire and returned to Grantsburg to practice and served the Webster area part-time. In 2001 Dr. Ingalls and his wife Tammy purchased the Webster Clinic from Allina. He has served the Webster area for over 20 years. Dr. Ingalls joined St. Croix Regional Medical Center as a provider in 2010. The funds raised from this year’s Gala event have been designated to purchasing a new EKG machine for the Emergency Department at SCRMC. Since its beginning in 1982, SCVHF has contributed over $500,000 to SCRMC, and awarded over $56,000 in scholarships to students pursuing a career in the healthcare field.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
I am devoting this article to the felines at our shelter still needing to find their furever home. We’ll start with the exotic beauty that’s been here the longest – Dawn. She is two years old, and if you are looking for friendly, look no further! Dawn is a dilute calico and she may have some Siamese in Oz her too. Sylvia is a 1½-year-old momma cat that was abandoned, along with her six kittens. Sylvia really wants to be out and about and not in her condo. Louis, Nora, and Arthur are the three remaining kittens from Sylvia’s litter (not yet Max spoken for). Although Sylvia is black and white, she is not a tuxedo cat like all her kittens. Storm is a four-month-old kitten that had a rough beginning. He came to the shelter a little beat up. Whatever his story was, he has come around and it hasn’t affected his winning personality. Max is a four-month-old orange and white kitten, who I lovingly refer to as my “Noodle Boy” because he loves to be cuddled and just goes limp in your arms. I save the best for last... my foster kittens – Oz, Glinda and Theodora. They are still enjoying life at my house and keeping me busy. Last I heard, someone was interested in the lone boy (Oz), but we are waiting for a clean bill of health before they can be up for adoption. (This doesn’t mean that we can’t “hold” one or more for you until they become available though, so fill out an application!) This trio absolutely loves attention. If I pass by their condo at any given time, they scamper to whatever corner of their cage I am closest to and meow to get my attention. When I spend time with them in the porch, all three are climbing all over me and giving me kisses. They play hard and sleep hard! I’ve really enjoyed having them at my house, but anxious for them to find homes as I have another cat waiting in line to be fostered. Stay tuned on that story in the near future! Last week I told you about Baxter, the 10-year-old Beagle that came to us with lots of medical issues that needed to be taken care of. What I neglected to tell you is how you can help animals like Baxter who are in need of treatments/surgeries. We have a special fund called “Star’s Fund” that pays for these out-of-the-ordinary medical procedures. This fund has taken a hit and is running low. If you would like to help replenish Star’s Fund, donations are welcome! Make sure you indicate that your donation is designated for Star’s Fund. As always, we thank you! If you are interested in adopting one of our animals, 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.

Paddling the Namekagon/St. Croix River Part 9: Sunrise Landing to Stillwater Boom Site BY KYLE WEAVER
GRANTSBURG— The river was a polished pane of glass early on Oct. 1, so that it almost felt like a criminal act to abrade it with my kayak. With a definite coolness in the air, I set out to paddle the 18 miles of the St. Croix River between Sunrise Landing and St. Croix Falls. Given how much closer to home I was compared to some of my trips this summer, it was nice to get on the water early without such a taxing wakeup time. The territory wasn’t unfamiliar to me. Earlier this summer, my friend Mike and I fished this segment with St. Croix Valley Adventures guide Bob Bickford. The smallies were good to us that day as I’m sure they were to the many fishermen I saw throughout the day. As I did for much of the stretch from Highway 70 near Grantsburg, I paddled close to the Wisconsin bank. Without any wind to fight, I was ever-more conscious of the countless places where water trickles into the river, heard but unseen beneath the tall grass, perhaps directly from the aquifer. The going was peaceful and relaxing and those 18 miles flew by. I found it somewhat ironic that the St. Croix River Visitor Center, the Riverway headquarters, was mostly inhospitable to my kayak. The dock area is choked with logs and branches and I almost couldn’t find a place to get out. The ranger working the front desk told me it wasn’t an official canoe landing, though both my map and the paddling guide would seem to disagree. On the following day, my original plan had been to traverse the portage around the Xcel Energy dam then shoot the rapids below Highway 8 with a friend. However, high water and some careful introspection about our abilities convinced me I should take those rapids another time. Instead, my girlfriend Jaime, who bought a gently used kayak earlier this summer and to whom I had been promising a trip, joined me for the day trip, between Wisconsin Interstate Park and Osceola. Though I continue to regard the Namekagon Riv-

er as my “home river,” the eight miles between Highway 8 and Osceola are definitely my second home. I have paddled it more than any other section in the last 10 years and probably nearly as much as the Namekagon overall. It has become my “go to” paddle for bringing first-timers. And what a place it is! The high basalt, or trap rock, bluffs between the two Interstate State Parks are an other-worldly treasure that must be felt as much as seen. They are easily accessible by kayak or canoe from either side of the river with less than 10 minutes of upstream paddling. Earlier this summer, I led a group of my fellow Great Northern Union Chorus members on this same trip. Most of them were new to the St. Croix, and some were relatively new to canoeing. Jaime has paddled those bluffs once before in a canoe, but did it for the first time as a solo kayaker. For me, well, being in that spot never gets old. After playing a bit between the bluffs, Jaime and I continued downstream. Having noted the high water, we took the opportunity to pick our way through the Close Slough and stopped to stretch our legs at Peaslee Lake. As often as I’ve paddled this segment, I had never before taken this route or seen Peaslee. It is a gorgeous spot that is supposed to be a pretty good fishing spot, too, at certain times of the year. I’m thinking I may have to come back sometime. I did it! On Sunday, Oct. 9, I completed my journey. I put in from my house near Osceola Landing, skidding the Sans Souci II down the bluff and sliding into the
water around 9:30 a.m. The air was around 36 degrees and there was at least 30 inches of mist still hovering above the water. As with the previous weekend, the water was like glass. I immediately paddled across the river to my favorite backwater, just downstream from the landing. I have paddled this backwater several times and each time there is wildlife to be seen. This time, an eagle watched me glide underneath its perch and let me get close enough for a photo. Past Marine, around 1 p.m., a southerly wind began to pick up and made the remainder of my trip more challenging. I picked my way along the backwaters, through the St. Croix Islands State Wildlife Area to the mouth of the Apple River before finding the main channel again. Stopping for a photo downstream of the Soo Line High Bridge, I fought wind and boat wake the rest of the way to the St. Croix Boom Site landing and took out, two hours later than planned and quite tired. I am thrilled to have finally reached my goal, at least nominally, of paddling the entire St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, all 230 miles, in a single season. FINAL THOUGHTS Before I conclude this travelogue, I owe a couple quick notes of gratitude: thank you to my girlfriend Jaime Novak, my father Charlie Weaver, and my good friend Eric Buelow for playing the part of shuttle bunny at various times this summer. I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to Ed Vater, of Bending Branches, and
John Gauper, of Central Insurance, for conspiring to outfit me with an awesome Aqua-Bound kayak paddle. I can’t imagine how tired I would have been with a lesser paddle, especially on those windy days. Thank you, also, to Jim and Jane Montag, of Hayward Outfitters, where I bought the Sans Souci II, for your wonderful business and service. Finally, thank you to my friends John Schletty and Deb Ryun, and the St. Croix Riverway staffers for all the advice you’ve given me. As I’ve paddled along this summer, I’ve been mindful of just how significant and special the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers are. In many places, the river is truly “wild and scenic.” In some spots, though, the wilderness is but a dangerously thin façade, where highway noise, fancy houses, well-manicured lawns and powerful boats intrude upon it. This past weekend, I even saw political campaign signs (really!), a sight that made me want to stop and sling vulgarities at the homeowner. Our nation has done a great service to us all to preserve these rivers. But maybe we can do more. Maybe it’s time we lean on our neighbors to stop cutting that immaculate lawn right down to the water’s edge, to paint that brightyellow-and-blue house a less obtuse color, or to remove that archaic gas pump from the end of the dock. Maybe we ban motors of greater than 40 horsepower, or boats with capacities of more than four people, above the Soo Line High Bridge. Going motor-less seems to work great in the Boundary Waters. Why not here? These are inconvenient ideas, of course, but it seems to me we worry often about the threats that are coming, and not often enough about the threats that are already here. It’s a conversation worth having, at least. For the final time this summer, I’ll see you on the water. —Kyle Weaver is a freelance journalist and outdoorsman who lives in the St. Croix River Valley.

Best restaurant surprise —ever I love surprises. Recently, my husband and I tried a new restaurant with our daughter and her husband in Indiana. The food was spectacular. Not only was it very good, but also it was creative in presentation and in food combinations. I was expecting what most restaurants provide — food on a plate, nicely presented—normal. Normal has its place, but getWild Chow ting creative with veggies like green beans is challengLisa Erickson ing. Since I really like green beans and beets, when I saw that they had a green bean salad with beets and goat cheese, I could hardly wait to get my food. I have been known to embarrass my family when I order all vegetables or beg another family member to order an item I want to try so we can taste everything. However, why does everyone end up asking for a taste of my food? When my salad arrived, all I saw was green beans and cherry tomatoes in a mason jar. Then,
the waitress shook the jar and it turned bright purplish-pink. The color transformation was shocking—not at all what I expected! There wasn’t a speck of green or red left in the jar. I opened the jar and stabbed a green bean with my fork. Wow! It was strange to be eating out of a mason jar with a fork, but I didn’t care after the first bite. It was beautiful and delicious. My husband and I fought over who got the last bite. He wasn’t as crazy about my other dish, which was pickled rhubarb, radishes, and carrots with marinated cheese curds—all the more for me! We left the restaurant smiling. My daughter and I sat in the back seat trying to figure out the amount of ingredients so we could recreate the bean salad at home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar Kosher salt and black pepper to taste 3 oz. goat cheese, softened, plus more for serving
Directions: In a large pot, bring 8 cups of salted water to a boil. Add green beans. Cook 3 minutes; drain well in colander for 10 minutes; do not rinse (they will continue to cook). Cool beans.
Surprise green bean salad
In a blender, combine lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, beets, salt and pepper; blend until smooth. Divide beans, tomatoes and goat cheese into four mason jars (don’t over stuff). Spoon in 3-4 tablespoons of dressing and have each person shake their own jar. Or, place green beans, tomatoes and cheese in a large bowl and toss with dressing. Sprinkle with more crumbled goat cheese before serving.
Serves 4 2 lbs. fresh green beans, trimmed 1 lbs. cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1/3 cup of beets, cooked and cooled 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 4 Tbsp olive oil

this flu season?
Dr. Tim Novick
A.
It is recommended that anyone 6 months of age and older get a yearly flu vaccine since it is the most important step in protecting yourself from this serious disease. You should begin getting vaccinated soon after the flu vaccine becomes available, if possible by October, to ensure that you are protected before flu season begins. However, as long as flu viruses are circulating in the community, it’s not too late to get vaccinated. In addition, if you have not already gotten vaccinated, you can take everyday preventive actions like staying away from sick people and washing your hands to reduce the spread of germs. If you are sick with flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading flu to others. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

insurance claims?
A.
If you’re talking auto insurance then chipped Gary Nelson or cracked windshields are quite common. In our area, deer are a problem. Both of those issues are covered under the “comprehensive” or “other than collision” portion of the policy. A rock chip less than the size of a quarter normally doesn’t cost you anything to repair, as long as you have comprehensive coverage. A windshield replacement involves a deductible unless you have a “full glass” endorsement. Deer damage also involves a deductible. If you’re talking home insurance, water issues pop up. Burst pipes, sometimes caused by freezing, create lots of headaches and lots of damage. If you leave your home in the winter, shut off the water or have someone check you house regularly. Always review your coverage with your agent – you can work together to make sure all bases are covered.

Have your furnace inspected: Experts say 75% of Jean Lundgren calls received from homeowners with no heat are due to not having their furnace serviced & cleaned. It also keeps heating costs down & air in your home healthy. Check Airflow: Focus on air vents, range hoods, dryer vents, baseboard heaters & room fans. Dust buildup can be a fire hazard, impede airflow & create allergens. Clean gutters & downspouts: Clogged gutters & downspouts can cause roof & foundation leaks, with a host of other problems. It’s good prevention from water damage in your home. Replace weatherstripping on doors: It’s a simple low cost fix that keep energy costs down. Inspect your insulation: The most important area to check is your attic. Fill in any noticeable gaps. Make sure detectors are working: Both smoke & carbon monoxide detectors should be tested & have fresh batteries prior to each heating season. 651-308-2221 jeanlundgren@gmail.com jeanlundgren.com

Q. Why is fiber important and how do I increase my fiber intake?
A.
Sarah Motl Fiber is an essential nutrient and if Registered Dietician you are not meeting the daily requirements, you are not alone. Most Americans fall very short of the recommended 25 grams a day for women and 38 grams for men. Fiber is important for many reasons including helping to promote a healthy weight by increasing fullness, can help lower cholesterol, prevent constipation, and can help control blood sugars. Fiber is only found in plant foods. Foods that are naturally high in fiber include beans, lentils, fresh fruits and vegetables, popcorn, brown rice, and barley. Make sure that you leave the skin on your fruits and veggies as that is where most of the fiber is found. One last tip, when you increase your fiber intake, you must also increase your fluid intake. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

A. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a product that has been
available internationally for several years and is now being used in the U.S. It is a different type of liquid fluoride that can be directly applied to teeth to stop the process of decay and help with sensitivity. For some people, especially children with baby teeth, it can help to stop small cavities from getting any bigger, and possibly stop the need to have those cavities filled in a traditional manner. It takes less than a minute to apply and can have long-lasting, positive effects to prevent future cavities.

There is no across-the-board answer for this. The Karl and Zachary most direct and accurate answer is that it is dependent on your specific vehicle’s manufacturer’s recommendations. This can be found in your owner’s manual, or your trusted shop’s software should be able to provide this information with the VIN (vehicle identification number). In addition to mileage frequency, your trusted shop’s software will also let your mechanic know the recommended oil weight to use (which can vary from season to season), the quantity to use, and the recommended brand, if applicable. Additionally, synthetic engine oil can increase the recommended mileage between oil changes. This information should be provided to you on an itemized and detailed invoice. Maintaining oil changes per manufacturer’s recommendations, in addition to regular vehicle maintenance, is important to maximize the performance of the engine, improve gas mileage, and extend the life of your vehicle.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Group asks federal court to block Wisconsin voter ID law MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s voter ID law should be suspended for next month’s election in light of new audio recordings revealing state Division of Motor Vehicles workers giving inaccurate information about what’s required to vote, a liberal advocacy group argued in a motion filed Tuesday in federal court. The motion from One Wisconsin Institute argued that the state is “nowhere close” to being in compliance with a federal court order detailing how the law should be administered. It was filed just hours after the head of the state Department of Transportation tried to reassure lawmakers that front-line workers would receive additional training with the election just five weeks away. “Clearly, we take seriously some of the recent news reports about allegations
we didn’t provide accurate information or provided wrong information,” DOT Secretary Mark Gottlieb said in a public hearing. Wisconsin law requires voters to show photo identification at the polls and allows for state ID cards to be provided free of charge. In May, the transportation department adopted regulations allowing people who lack the supporting documents such as birth certificates needed to obtain an ID to get a receipt they can use for voting. The rules dictate that the receipts must be mailed within six days of applying. The recorded statements from DMV workers, provided to The Associated Press and quoted in the legal filing, seem to conflict with those rules. “The evidence makes clear that the State does not have — and is incapable of implementing — a functioning safety net for its strict voter ID law,” attorneys for One Wisconsin Institute argued.

Hats Off To Our Firefighters When the alarm sounds, the men and women of our fire departments answer the call without hesitation, saving thousands of lives and homes from devastating fires. In fact, last year alone, United States fire and rescue departments responded to more than 400,000 home fires. During Fire Prevention Week, we salute these brave men and women who risk their own lives protecting the lives of others. We recognize that each of us has a responsibility to exercise awareness and caution in preventing fires by putting safety first.

Ruiz captures individual conference crown BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS
ST. CROIX FALLS—Four Webster Tigers finished in the top 10 and the team was just four points shy of earning the top spot at the Lakeland Conference Cross Country meet Tuesday afternoon in St. Croix Falls. “The boys ran extremely well — five out of seven raced their best time of the season,” Tiger coach Roy Ward remarked after the race. “They are a dedicated hard working group.” The first runner to break the tape was Webster senior Andrew Ruiz. “Andrew raced about 4,000 meters of the race on Alex’s heels (Unity’s Alex Binfet).” Ward praised. “He took off and separated from him and earned the title of Conference Champ with a time of 16:39.” The second Tiger across the line, also posting his best time of the season, was Joey Formanek (4), crossing the line in 18:09. Teammates Mason Schaaf (7) and Hunter Erickson (9) were third and fourth for the Tigers, posting times of 18:33 and 18:51. Since a team’s top five runners determine the team score, Dustin Kern’s (29) finish was crucial. “Dustin really stepped it up for us in the all important number five spot,” Ward noted. “He ran his best time of 20:29.” The last two runners for the Tigers, Kerik Stubbe (47) and Trent Gustafson (71) didn’t have their best races, posting times of 22:21 and 25:27. “That is how it goes sometimes and is a good example of why depth is important,” the coach realized. Ruiz, Formanek, Schaaf and Erickson all earned All-Conference honors. The Grantsburg Pirates placed third as a team, and their top three finishers, Joe Duncan (13), David MacKean (14) and Joe Ohnstad (15) earned All-Conference honors, crossing the line back-to-back-to-back in times of 19:04, 19:05 and 19:11, respectively. “The training is paying off as we got lots of personal records (PR),”
Andrea Nightengale, Pirate coach, observed. Chris Hermann (18) and Jared Lee (27) were the next Pirates across the line in times of 19:41 and 20:17. Also running for the Pirates were Connor DeTienne (37), Trevor Vollendorf (38) and Sven Johnson, posting times of 21:15, 21:16 and 22:40, respectively. GIRLS Despite a 1-2 finish, the Lady Pirates finished second as a team. Hallie Jensen (1) and Grace Gerber (2) were neck-and-neck at the line, posting times of 20:52.34 and 20:52.72, both earning All-Conference honors. “They were mentally and physically ready to run this race and it showed,” Nightengale commented. “They ran hard and I saw lots of great finishes.” The two were followed by Danielle Bertelsen (22) and Hope McKinley (23) with times of 24:05 and 24:10. Teammate Maddie Duncan (34) rounded out the scoring for the Pirates, with a time of 25:03. Other Lady Pirates in the race were Susan Roberts (50) and Holly Fiedler (51), posting times of 27:01 and 27:02. For the Lady Tigers, they too saw two of their runners finish with All-Conference honors — Sam Nelson (8) and Sydney Raschke (14). “Sam was the first Tiger in with a personal best time of 21:39,” Ward said. “The crazy race of the night goes out to Sydney, who earned All-Conference by placing 14th with a time of 22:54 — she was a minute 40 seconds faster than the last meet and eight minutes faster than in the first meet.” Rounding out the scoring for the Webster team, which finished 5th, were Ali Moritz (25), Carolina Ivic (40) and Jenna Gomulak (46) with times of 24:23, 25:53 and 26:18, respectively. Teammate Jeni Peterson (53) was the last Tiger to cross the line, posting a time of 27:33.

Pirates fall to Cards, 3-2... again BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—“I’m disappointed. I thought we would play better,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said after the Pirates fell to conference rival Luck on Tuesday night. When the Pirates traveled to Luck back in early September, fans were treated to a great volleyball match-up between two well-coached teams, with the Cardinals edging out the Pirates 3-2 in the end. Last Tuesday, fans packed the Grantsburg gym in anticipation of another entertaining evening, with the fans in purple looking for a little revenge. In the first set, the Pirates jumped out to a 3-0 lead and things looked promising for the hometown girls. But, Luck is never going to just roll over and they battled back into the game. The score was tied at 8-8 when the Cardinals kicked up the offensive attack, gained the lead and never looked back. The Pirates lost composure, made some uncharacteristic mental errors and found themselves on the wrong end of this game, 17-25. In the second set, Grantsburg cleaned up their play and regained their confidence. Rhiana Pochman pounded some booming hits to Luck’s floor to get her team fired up. Smart defensive play at the net including some timely blocks by Kenna Johnson and Cassidy Lee helped the Pirates take this one 25-19 to tie it up at 1-1. The third set was a back-and-forth battle right until the end, with great defense GOOB COY| SENTINEL

Dragons post win over Vikings BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
FREDERIC—The Siren Dragons notched another mark in the win column last Tuesday night with a 3-0 over the Frederic Vikings. Game scores were 25-18, 25-12 and 25-20. “It was a nice win for us. That’s how we can play. That’s how we need to play,” commented Dragon coach Kristin Kosloski. “We got everybody on the bench in there and that was good. We got down at first, but that helped us.” The Dragons trailed in the first game 6-2 before they went on a 6-2 run of their own to knot the game at eight. The game was close as four ties occurred with the last one at 15. A placement by Julia Cederberg pushed the Dragons ahead to a score of 18-15. Frederic scored twice to narrow the gap to one point, but then Siren scored six straight to make it 24-17. Siren scored the last point on a short return by Frederic.
After a tie at two in game two, Siren ran off nine straight tallies before Frederic could stem the tide. A kill during that time frame was made by Siren’s Karlee Sybers. Kills by Amy Stanford and Jade Horstman increased the score to 13-3 and 15-3 respectively. Abby Kosloski made a kill to make it 20-6. Frederic rallied shortly to narrow the gap to 24-12 before the Dragons got the last point to win the second game. In game three, the Vikings kept the game close, rallying from being down 12-4 to trailing by only one, 18-17. At 20-19, the Dragons got it together and played a 4-0 run. A kill by Amy Stanford sealed the win of the game and the match. “I started to get worried when Frederic narrowed the score, but I knew when we got it together, it would be fine.” After playing Luck on Tuesday, the Dragons host Webster on Thursday before the playoffs start next Tuesday. Siren hosts Frederic in the first round of play.

Buffaloes run past Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—The Mondovi Buffaloes were visitors to Webster last Friday and went home with a 54-6 win. “We saw on film what a physical football team they were, and well coached,” commented Tiger coach Andy Smith. “We tried to match up with that and weren’t able to do that tonight. We took our chances early and it sort of snowballed from there. That’s why it got away from us.” Mondovi scored three touchdowns in the first quarter, two by runs and one by a pass. All three extra point attempts failed, thus the Buffaloes led 18-0 after one. On Webster’s first possession, the Tigers got the ball to their own 32, but their punt was blocked and recovered by the Buffaloes. Twice Mondovi got the ball across the line in the second quarter, one by run and one by pass. Both extra point tries were again unsuccessful, 30-0 at the half. Only one score occurred in period three, this time the two point conversion was successful and the Buffaloes led 38-0 after three.
After a touchdown by Mondovi, on Webster’s first play from scrimmage at their own 25, Frank DeBlase broke through the Buffalo defensive line and outran the entire Mondovi defense to the goal line, a 75-yard run. The two point conversion failed. Mondovi scored once more to make the final 54-6. DeBlase rushed 11 times for 109 yards and a touchdown. Trevor Gustafson ran twice for 34 yards with Andrew Moritz also running twice for eight yards. Gustafson passed nine times, completed four for seven yards. Defensively, Simeon Wilson was busy, getting 12 total tackles, seven being solo stops. Harlo Olson had seven total (five solo) and Ross Daniels six total (four solo). “It’s tough to see the seniors play in a football game like this, but we’ve got a conference game coming up next week. On Monday, we’ll get re-loaded.” Regarding DeBlase’s 75-yard run, “There are glimpses of what we could be like. A missed block here and a missed tackle there leads to a touchdown.” Webster travels north on Friday to take on Washburn/Bayfield/South Shore in a 7 p.m. game.

Pirates continue to roll with 42-6 win over Falcons BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS
TONY—The Grantsburg Pirates made the long haul to Tony on Friday night to take on the Flambeau Falcons in a conference match up. The Pirates stood strong on a cold and windy evening to take a 42-6 win, bringing their season record to 8-0 as they head into the final week of the regular season. They will head to Unity on Friday night to face an always tough Eagles team to claim the conference crown outright. If the Eagles win, the Pirates would share the title with Unity and most likely the St. Croix Falls Saints if they defeat Flambeau on Friday. The Saints beat the Eagles on Friday night, giving each of them one conference loss. On Friday, the Pirates racked up 475 yards of total

offense with just over 400 of those coming from the running game. John Chenal had a great night racking up 175 yards on 12 carries. Dakota Schultz added 94 on nine carries and Avery Fagerberg had 85 yards on eight carries. “Offensively we rushed for over 400 yards so that tells you that the O-line is doing a good job and opening up some holes,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “I also thought Austin Olson and Jared Peltier blocked very well on the perimeter all night as John, Avery and Dakota all had big nights rushing combining for around 350 yards on the ground.” Grantsburg started fast, scoring on their first offensive drive of the game. Dakota Schultz found an open Austin Olson to start the scoring from 10 yards out. The point after was good by Avery Fagerberg, and the Pirates were up 7-0. The next score was a 21-yard run by Fagerberg, who added the PAT as well to put the Pirates up 14-0 with 5:27 left in the first quarter. Grantsburg struck twice in the second quarter. The first score came from a three-yard rumble by Fagerberg to paydirt. The PAT was true for the 21 point lead. Next up for the Pirates was Schultz, who zig-zagged his way to the endzone from 15 yards out for the score. Fagerberg again put the extra point through the uprights to give the Pirates a commanding 28-0 lead at halftime. The scoring slowed in the second half as the Pirates put up seven points in each of the remaining quarters. Again, it was Fagerberg who pounded his way to the endzone from four yards out in the third quarter. He
added the PAT to go up 35-0. The final score came in the fourth quarter from Schultz who scampered his way in for the score. Francisco Mindello was called on to attempt the extra point, which he snuck through the uprights to bring the score to 42-0. The Falcons did score late in the fourth quarter, but the conversion failed ending the score at 42-6. The Pirate defense was strong as usual, with Austin Bowman leading the way as he seemed to be in on every defensive play, everywhere on the field. He racked seven solo tackles and four assists. Fagerberg flew to the ball with four solos and five assists. Walker Louis saw plenty of action and made his presence known with three solos and seven assists. Chenal tallied one solo and seven assists. “Besides one drive that ended in a fumble recovery, I thought our defense did the job and controlled the line of scrimmage,” Hale said. “Austin Bowman had a terrific night with five tackles-for-loss and Avery Fagerberg had some big hits and continues to play really physical football for us.” The Pirates switch focus now to this week’s conference final game with Unity and the upcoming playoffs. The Pirates have clinched a playoff spot, but the “finer” details will be hashed out after this week’s games. It is not clear yet if they will be in Division 5 or 6, and where the first playoff game will be. “There is a lot at stake next Friday with a conference title and playoff seeding on the line so we have a lot of work to do this week,” Hale said.

defense and long vollies. When the dust settled, the Pirates took this one 25-23 to go up 2-1. Grantsburg faltered a bit in the third set, dropping this game 19-25. The Pirates seemed timid and lost a little of their aggressiveness on offense. The match was tied at two games each as they headed into the deciding fifth set. Luck got an early lead, and the Pirates were never able to catch up losing this one 9-15 to give the Cardinals the win. “Luck had better defense and their attacking became more aggressive as the match went on while we started to look
tired, tentative and too ‘tippy.’ “We played outstanding, powerful, dominant volleyball at times. We made the big digs. “Then we let easy balls drop. We pounded high velocity attacks straight to the floor, then tapped balls out of bounds or into the net. The inconsistency was frustrating. If we had cut the unforced errors in half, the outcome would have been different,” Allaman-Johnson said. Pochman led the Pirate offense with 17 kills on the night. Johnson tallied nine, followed by Lee with eight, Randi Siebenthal with six and Britta Roufs with five. Pochman also led the charge in blocks with five. Johnson
had three with Lee right behind her with two. Siebenthal had 20 digs on the night, followed by Jenna McNally with 15. The loss sets up a dramatic ending to the conference standings as Grantsburg heads to St. Croix Falls on Thursday night. The Pirates now have two conference losses; Luck has two conference losses to SCF; and SCF has one conference loss to the Pirates who swept the Saints 3-0 earlier this season. If the Pirates win on Thursday night, it will be a three-way tie for the title. If they lose to the Saints, SCF will win the conference outright.

SIREN—The Siren Dragons volleyball team hosted their neighbors to the west, the Grantsburg Pirates, on Thursday night with the Pirates recording the win in three games, 2518, 25-11 and 25-14. The young Dragon squad played strong early in the first set and traded points back and forth with the Pirates. The game was knotted up 9-9 before Grantsburg tightened the reins and started to pull away for the 25-18 win. “Siren is really improving and they are a fun team to play,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said of the Dragons. The second and third sets were all Pirates as they cruised to a 25-11 and 25-14 win to take the match. “All thirteen players contributed on the court,” Allaman-Johnson noted. “Our serve receive was error-free, and our defense was great. However, we had a lot of unforced errors with our hitting and serving.” Rhiana Pochman led the Pirates in kills with 14. Kenna Johnson was next on the list with eight, followed by Cassidy Lee with seven. Randi Siebenthal tallied five and Tymber King had two. “Randi really crushed the ball,” the coach added. Siebenthal also recorded five ace serves for the night. On the defensive side, Jenna McNally and Claire Palmquist led the Pirates in digs with eight each. Alaina Oachs had six and Siebenthal had five. No stats were available for Siren. The Pirates will finish the regular season in a big match at St. Croix Falls on Thursday, and the Dragons will host Webster on Thursday to end conference play. Both games begin at 7:15 p.m. Playoff action begins Tuesday, October 18.
ST. CROIX FALLS—The Webster Tigers battled valiantly, but came out on the short end of a 3-0 loss to the St. Croix Falls Saints last Thursday night, but then on Monday night, turned the tables on the Cumberland Beavers, beating them 3-0. Against the Saints, the game scores were 25-16, 25-15 and 25-19. “The girls came out strong and fought hard against a tough St. Croix Falls team,” said Tiger coach Stefanie Janssen. “Taylor (Howe) had a nice night with 12 kills, but other than that, we struggled to make plays offensively against St. Croix’s big front row.” Besides the kills, Howe had three blocks, a dig and four assists. Sophie Phernetton tallied three kills, three aces, a block and a dig. Kaitlyn Lee was the high assist player for the Tigers with nine. Mikki Walker had four assists with two aces and a dig. The game with the Beavers was also close. Games scores were 25-22, 25-22 and 25-17. “Cumberland came out and played a tough game tonight,” commented Coach Janssen. “It

was a great opportunity for our defense to work against tough attackers, and we did a good job, tallying seven blocks and 27 digs.” Individually, Howe had 15 kills, three blocks, eight assists and two aces. Phernetton pitched in with 11 kills, three blocks, three aces and three assists.
Lee was high on the assist list with 17 to go along with three aces and two kills. Skyler Winkler dug 11 times with four kills and an assist. After hosting Unity on Tuesday, the Tigers travel down Highway 35 to Siren to end the regular season. Next Tuesday, the playoffs begin.

GREEN BAY—The man who runs the Green Bay Packers on the football field found both hope and imperfection in his team’s performance Sunday. In the NFL, a win’s a win, but Mike McCarthy already said his Packers need to improve after their 23-16 win over the New York Giants. What more did he find from looking at the tape? One major positive: the running of Eddie Lacy and Aaron Ripkowski. “We had him down for 11 broken tackles. That’s something we spend a lot of time on, emphasize. Between offense and special teams, we had 21 broken tackles in the game. Eddie led the charge,” said McCarthy to WTMJ’s Larry McCarren on Monday. As for Lacy’s condition following an ankle injury, McCarthy was optimistic, but didn’t have any official word.
Mike McCarthy
“Still waiting for the tests to come in. They didn’t have any kind of prognosis. I asked Eddie. He said he’s fine, but they all do, especially Eddie. He smiles and says ‘Don’t worry about it.’ I don’t think it’s serious.” Ripkowski, the Packers’ fullback, wasn’t as productive as the 81 yard performance by Lacy, but one run became a signature play for the youngster, a grinding, rugby scrum-like first down. “I told him in the meeting today. I said I need to give him the
b ll about b t 10 ti ball times if you can promise that’s going to happen 10 times in a row.” The area that McCarthy particularly identified for improvement was special teams. The Packers’ Jacob Schum, the team’s new punter, had numerous subpar punts for a 36.5 yard average. The Giants’ kick returners also averaged 35 yards per kickoff return. “We had a tough meeting today,” said McCarthy about the special teams film session on Monday. “(Coordinator) Ron Zook did a great job going through everything in detail. Accountability was very high. We even had a couple players stand up and take accountability for it. It’s not clean. If there’s definitely going to be an area on our football team that’s always going to be young, it is young. We do need to improve there. Our energy wasn’t where it needed to be... there’s no excuse for that. We definitely will get that turned around this week.”

Tigers second in conference tune-up BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS
AMERY—Webster’s Andrew Ruiz continued his pattern of finishing as runner-up when he crossed the line in 16:49, to finish second behind Unity’s Alex Binfet (16:48) at the Amery Invitational last Tuesday afternoon. “I wasn’t there to see the finish, but several people told me how exciting it was,” Tiger coach Roy Ward remarked. “Andrew closed the gap and was on the heels of his conference competitor, Alex Binfet — Andrew ran his best time of 16:49.” The Tigers as a team were only 14 points behind the Unity Eagles, the winner’s of the meet, and that was thanks to strong running by Joey Formanek (4) and Hunter Erickson (8), posting times of 18:22 and 19:06. “Joey also had a great race with a season personal record (PR) of 18:22,” the coach praised. Mason Schaaf (12) was the fourth Tiger across the line in a time of 19:33, while teammates Kerik Stubbe (28) and Dustin Kern (30) battled for the final scoring spot. “It was Kerik coming out on top with
his season best of 21:10,” Ward acknowledged. Kern posted a time of 21:17. Also running for the Tigers was Trent Gustafson (44) who crossed the line in 25:38. The Grantsburg Pirates finished in third, with two of their runners breaking into the top 11 — Joe Duncan (7) and David MacKean (11) posting times of 18:56 and 19:24. “The boys raced smart and had strong finishes,” Pirate coach Andrea Nightengale noted. The next three Pirates across the line — Joseph Ohnstad (16), Chris Hermann (18) and Jared Lee (19), showed the benefits of pack-running, crossing the line in times of 19:58, 20:30 and 20:36, respectively. “The boys didn’t feel the best about Tuesday’s race,” she continued. “There were not too many PRs.” Also running Tuesday for the Pirates were Trevor Vollendorf (32) and Connor DeTienne (34), posting times of 21:43 and 21:46. GIRLS Glenwood City used a 1-2 finish to eek out the win but strong running by the Lady Pirates secured a second-place fin-

ish. “Their times were a bit slow and they didn’t feel that great about the race,” Nightengale said. As has been their habit this season,
Grace Gerber (3), Hallie Jensen (4) and Brittanie Blume (5) were the top three finishers for the Pirates, posting times of 21:13, 21:15 and 21:16, respectively. “Our top three girls stayed in their pack most of the race,” the coach observed. Danielle Bertelsen (17) and Maddie Duncan (20) finished the scoring for the Pirates, posting times of 24:07 and 24:50. Teammates Hope McKinley (22) and Susan Roberts (38) also ran for Grantsburg, crossing the line in 24:57 and 28:16. Even though the Lady Tigers finished sixth in a 6-team field, they did feature one top 10 runner. “Sam (Nelson) led the girls’ team with a personal best race of the season — her time was 21:59,” coach Ward reported. Next across the line for the Tigers was Sydney Raschke (18) and Ali Moritz (27), posting times of 24:34 and 25:40. Teammates Carolina Ivic (30) and Jeni Peterson (36) followed in times of 26:32 and 28:00. Jenna Gomulak (37) was the final Tiger across the line in 28:14. “There were a lot of PRs out there tonight,” Ward concluded. “They are working hard at being the best that they can be.”

Several events have taken place since the start of the celebration in June. The main weekend for the centennial celebration events will be August 12 and 13, 2016. During this time the celebration will be tied into the annual Gandy Dancer Days celebration.

INFORMATION ON THE PRESIDENTIAL DISASTER APPLICATION DECLARATION FOR FLOODING ON JULY 11, 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR RHONDA REYNOLDS Emergency Management Director Rhonda Reynolds presented information on the State of Emergency declared by Governor Walker due to the July 11, 2016, storm damage in the state. Heavy storm/rain damage occurred in several northern counties in the state including Burnett County. Ms. Reynolds contacted the towns and villages immediately requesting estimated initial storm damage costs. A cost estimate for initial damages of $300,000.00 was submitted. This figure, together with costs from the other counties in the state must total a minimum of $8.2 million dollars to be able to declare the State of Emergency. Initial figures came in at an estimated $30 million dollars. Preliminary federal teams will be in Burnett County on Wednesday, July 27, 2016, to assess the damage. The next step will be a kickoff meeting with municipalities. When all is said and done, there would be an 87.5% reimbursement to municipalities to assist with damage costs. Ms. Reynolds thanked Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs, Forest and Parks Administrator Jake Nichols, Forest Recreation Coordinator Susan Ingalls and Land Information GIS Technician Tracy Klatt for their assistance. Ms. Reynolds noted any immediate work completed will be added to the remaining damage costs and will be eligible for reimbursement if the State of Emergency is approved. Reimbursements would be actual cost, not estimated.

ATV ROUTE REQUEST APPROVALS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; TOWN OF WEBB LAKE Chairman Taylor introduced three ATV route requests by the Town of Webb Lake. The first proposal is from Little Bear Lake Road to State Road 77, the second request is from East Long Lake Road to Northwoods Bar and the third request is from Little Bear Lake Road to the Main Store. Discussion continued. Motion to approve the three requests was made by Supervisor Gronski, seconded by Supervisor Awe. Discussion ensued on the intent of the current ATV Policy and if the routes being approved on county roads follow the guidelines of the policy. Highway Administrator Mike Hoefs is currently rewording/revising the ATV policy and will be bringing it to the Infrastructure Committee for recommending to the full board for consideration. Discussion continued and it was recommended by Chairman Taylor the requests be brought back to committee for further review after the policy is updated. (No action taken on the motion) Motion to recommit and send the ATV route requests from the Town of Webb Lake back to the Infrastructure Committee was made by Supervisor Awe, seconded by Supervisor Conroy. Motion carried, voice vote. The matter is recommitted to the Infrastructure Committee to review and bring back to county board next month. COUNTY BOARD CHAIR REPORT Chairman Taylor will be attending the Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA) Conference in Eau Claire on Friday, July 29, 2016. COMMITTEE CHAIR REPORTS Administration Committee report was given by Chairman Taylor. Public Safety Committee report was given by Supervisor Pardun. Infrastructure Committee report was given by Supervisor Gronski. Health and Community Services Committee report was given by Supervisor Sybers. Natural Resources Committee report was given by Supervisor Peterson. Land Use and Information Committee report was given by Supervisor Bickford. ADMINISTRATOR REPORT Administrator Ehalt is continuing conversations on how to manage the airport in our future. A request was made to the Village of Grantsburg for airport $150,000.00 entitlement dollars and will later request the additional $450,000.00 that is not being used, but currently allocated to Grantsburg. It is believed Grantsburg will not be available to receive more entitlement dollars after 2017 if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin to utilize them. A Committee of the Whole meeting will follow the regular county board meeting today to review the 2015 audit. Departments are currently preparing their 2017 and 2018 budgets. Supervisor Byrne provided an update on the Northern Wa-
ters Library. They have made a 1% increase request to the county for the 2017 budget. Supervisor Bickford provided an update from the Wisconsin County Forest Association meeting. Starting October 1, 2016, the state will permit dirt bikes on ATV trails subject to county approval. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS There were none. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn the July 28, 2016, meeting was made by Supervisor Lund seconded by Supervisor Richard. Motion carried, voice vote. Meeting adjourned at 11:07 a.m.

My husband (Pastor Kookho Kim) and I recentlytraveled to Alaska for 10 days. It was our late honeymoon travel. We celebrated our marriage in the amazing and gorgeous scenic beauty which God created. On the third day of our trip, we visited the Exit Glacier area of Kenai Fjords National Park to see an actual glacier. While we were heading to the edge of the glacier, there were many signs indicating particular numbers: 1926, 1951, 1961, 2005 and 2010. We finally figured out what they meant when we arrived at the last point. That was the location of the edge of glacier of

the year posted. We were totally freaked out. There was a huge gap between the 2005 and 2010 markers, and there was an even wider gap between 2010 and the current edge of the glacier. Basically, the glacier looks blue because of its density from longtime compression. However, it is gradually losing its original color due to melting too quickly. This rapid melting has effects on the sea level and the living environment of humans and animals. According to Genesis 1:31 a, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God saw everything that God had made, and indeed, it was very good.â&#x20AC;? However, I worry it is no lon-

ger as good. Protecting and conserving Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole creation is our responsibility and duty as human beings. As Christians who are creatures of God, we address that God has granted us stewardship of creation, so we should meet these stewardship duties through acts of loving care and respect of the natural world. This is not only because they are very useful to us, but also they are Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation. From now on, we should care about environmental issues and start showing a little caution for it. From small beginnings come great things.

Siren Schools move ahead on roof SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a matter of wait-and-see, but the Siren School Board did take action at its September meeting to address fixing a portion of the roof over the commons and band room area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The board did authorize a $300,000 roof repair loan through the State Trust Fund,â&#x20AC;? Peggy Moore, school board president, explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to check all of our finance options before we commit to any decision.â&#x20AC;? She said the roof on the auditorium was repaired last year. In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ The board approved a threemonth trial of an open campus lunch policy for high school seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were a little nervous in passing this policy,â&#x20AC;? Moore admitted with a laugh. The board placed quite a few stipulations on
who could make use of the policy, including those students with an acceptable GPA and those demonstrating acceptable behaviors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they have a car, they can drive, but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any passengers with them and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring food back to school,â&#x20AC;? Moore stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could be a make-or-break scenario for future classes.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ In personnel moves, the board approved a 10-month administrative assistant position which, among other duties, will be tasked with submitting free-andreduced-lunch paperwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to get that work out of the kitchen,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. The board also hired Trish Needham as coach for the C-squad volleyball team and Ryan Jansen as morning gym supervisor. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel
Siren needs to trim 2017 budget SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Siren Village Board members will have to sharpen their pencils and put fresh batteries in their calculators in order to balance its 2017 budget â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which currently reflects a $51,000 overage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The budget has everything in it our departments have asked for,â&#x20AC;? Ann Peterson, village clerk, explained. In addition to specific line items which were over the amount budgeted for 2016 and the reason for the extra expense, Peterson noted several line items in the proposal which could be looked at for helping to balance the 2017 budget, including Dave Alden salaries and various maintenance expenses. The board took this under advisement as it
WELL-
moves ahead with the budget process.
In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ The village will be buying and placing a speed sign on Hwy. 35 near Clear Lake. The sign will be similar to the existing sign on the north end of town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a need there,â&#x20AC;? Village President Dave Alden said of the location. Police Chief Chris Sybers agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though there are speed limit signs as far south as Little Mex, motorists are still going 50 or 60 MPH when they get to Clear Lake,â&#x20AC;? he remarked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to do something to try to get them to slow down.â&#x20AC;? The speed board may be the answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really gets your attention when you come into town,â&#x20AC;? trustee Rick Engstrom, noted. Sybers said he will apply for a $1,000 Operation Round-Up grant for the sign and thinks he might be able to get another traffic safety grant to help diffuse the cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Clear Lake Association said they are willing to kick in some money for the sign,â&#x20AC;? Sybers indicated. â&#x20AC;˘Peterson displayed the certificate the village received from one of its insurers, Spectrum Insurance, for having the lowest modification factor available in its workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation rating â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a factor which has led to lower premiums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite an achievement,â&#x20AC;? Alden remarked. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone in his praise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially when you consider the jobs involved â&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially public works and police,â&#x20AC;? Engstrom concluded. by Todd Beckmann Sentinel

The stages of breast cancer Upon receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, patients will soon receive a pathology report that informs them about the stage their cancer is in. The stage indicates how advanced the cancer is and whether or not it is limited to one area of the breast or has spread to other tissue or even other parts of the body. Understanding the stages of breast cancer can help patients cope with their diagnoses more effectively. Once the doctor has completed all the necessary testing, patients will then receive their pathology reports, which will include the stage of the cancer. The following rundown of the various stages of breast cancer can help breast cancer patients better understand their disease.
illary lymph nodes or may have spread to the lymph nodes near the breastbone. In stage IIIC breast cancer, doctors may not see any sign of cancer in the breast. If there is a tumor, it may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/ or the skin of the breast. To be categorized as stage IIIC, the cancer must also have spread to 10 or more axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes above or below the collarbone or to the axillary lymph nodes or lymph nodes near the breastbone. The ACS notes that women diagnosed with stage III breast cancer are often successfully treated and that the five-year survival rate is 72 percent.
Stage IV
Stage 0 Non-invasive breast cancers are considered to be in stage 0. When doctors have determined the cancer is in stage 0, that means they have not seen any indication that the cancer cells or the abnormal non-cancerous cells have spread out of the part of the breast in which they started. Breast cancer patients may hear the term “five-year survival rate” when discussing their disease with their physicians. The five-year survival rate refers to the percentage of people who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for women with stage 0 breast cancer is nearly 100 percent.
Stage I Stage I refers to invasive breast cancer and is broken down into two categories: stage IA and stage IB. Stage IA refers to invasive breast cancers in which the tumor is up to two centimeters and the cancer has not spread outside the breast. The lymph nodes are not involved in stage IA breast cancers. In some stage IB breast cancers, there is no tumor in the breast but there are small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than two millimeters. But stage IB breast cancers may also refer to instances when there is both a tumor in the breast that is no larger than two centimeters and small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes that are larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters. The ACS notes that the five-year survival rate for stage I breast cancers is roughly 100 percent.
Stage II Stage II breast cancers are also divided into two subcategories: stage IIA and stage IIB. Both subcategories are invasive, but stage II breast cancers are more complex than stage 0 or stage I breast cancers. Stage IIA describes breast cancers in which no tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer that is larger than two millimeters is found in one to three axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm) or in the lymph nodes near the breast bone. But an invasive breast cancer can still be considered stage IIA if the
tumor measures two centimeters or smaller and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes or if the tumor is larger than two centimeters but not larger than five centimeters and has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes. Stage IIB breast cancer describes breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters, and there are small groups of breast cancer cells in the lymph nodes. These small groups of cells are larger than 0.2 millimeters but no larger than two millimeters. Stage IIB may also be used to describe breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to between one and three axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors that are larger than five centimeters but have not spread to the axillary lymph nodes may also be referred to as stage IIB breast cancers. The five-year survival rate for stage II breast cancers is about 93 percent.
Stage III Stage III cancers are invasive breast cancers broken down into three categories: IIIA, IIIB and IIIC. When patients are diagnosed with stage IIIA breast cancer, that means doctors may not have found a tumor in their breast or the tumor may be any size. In stage IIIA, cancer may have been found in four to nine axillary lymph nodes or in the lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors larger than five centimeters that are accompanied by small groups of breast cancer cells (larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters) in the lymph nodes also indicate a breast cancer has advanced to stage IIIA. But stage IIIA may also be used to describe breasts cancers in which the tumor is larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to one to three axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes near the breastbone. A stage IIIB breast cancer diagnosis indicates the tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast, causing swelling or an ulcer. The cancer may have spread to up to nine ax-
Invasive breast cancers that have spread beyond the breast and lymph nodes to other areas of the body are referred to as stage IV. Stage IV breast cancer may be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer, though some women with no prior history of breast cancer receive stage IV diagnoses. The five-year survival rate for stage IV breast cancers is 22 percent. More information about breast cancer is available at www.breastcancer.org.
Did you know? Men have a small amount of breast tissue, and that means they can be affected by breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, men’s breast tissue has ducts, but only few, if any, lobules. That’s because men do not have enough female hormones to promote the growth of breast cells. Breast cancer can be separated into several types based on what the cancer cells look like under the microscope. They can be in-situ, meaning non-invasive or pre-invasive. They also may be invasive types that have spread to the ducts in the breast tissue. Breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women. Only about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men this year. But men who feel lumps or other anomalies in the area around the nipple should consult their physicians.

But she does count several cousins who have had breast cancer. “I call it old-age cancer because they were all in their 60s and 70s,” she chuckled. None of her doctors ever told her it was a life-threatening situation so she has typically taken the news in stride. “I kind of go with the flow,” Hansen admitted. “All we can hope for is that we caught it in time and that the cancer hasn’t spread.” Her advice is predictable. “Have your yearly mammogram, no matter what — just do it,” she concluded. “And if you do get breast cancer, just take it one day at a time.” There is a benefit for Hansen on Saturday, October 15 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the St. Croix Casino Event Center to help defray her medical expenses. There will be a dinner, silent auction, a white elephant auction, a bake sale and numerous raffles.
