Fraud and theft cases dismissed BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

Ken Gale (left) and Deb Hitchcock-Gale were in Burnett County Circuit Court for a preliminary hearing on Monday.
SIREN—At the end of the two hour preliminary hearing in Burnett County Circuit Court Monday morning, the case of theft and fraud against Debra Hitchcock-Gale and her husband Ken Gale were dismissed. Hitchcock-Gale, 54, had been charged with two counts of theft of over $10,000 from a business setting, as a party to a crime, two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card of between $5,000 and $10,000 and two counts of fraud against a financial institution in excess of $10,000. Gale, 49, had been charged, as a party to a crime, with two counts of theft of over $10,000 from a business setting. The charges were in connection with the couple’s durable power of attorney regarding the finances of Carolyn Gale, an aunt of Ken Gale who has been diagnosed as developmentally disabled. In his investigation of Hitchcock-Gale and Gale, Burnett County Sheriff’s detective Jameson Wiltrout figured $24,000 was spent on items outside the
financial agreements Carolyn Gale had. “I was concerned because the expenses didn’t fit with the Community Care agreement,” Wiltrout testified. Community Care of Central Wisconsin had a $4,800 yearly contract with Carolyn Gale to help her remain in her home (she lives with her mother). The money goes for her portion of household expenses. In his testimony, Wiltrout listed several checks Hitchcock-Gale had written and cashed which were outside that agreement. But Gale’s defense attorney, Mark F. Gherty, wasn’t buying it. “You’re throwing smoke in the room to make it appear as if a crime has been committed,” he pointed out. One check in particular, for $300, had the word ‘vacation’ written on the subject line. “Because it was outside of the agreement with Community Care, you assume they went to Wisconsin Dells,” Gherty continued. “But the Gale’s booked SEE DISMISSED, PAGE 6
Same station, new gas BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—There’s a new dinosaur in town. If you had driven on Highway 70 through Grantsburg last week, it would have been tough not to notice the marquee advertising the gas station is covered plus the canopy over the gas pumps is missing some of its pieces. That’s because the Sinclair Oil Corporation is the new gasoline supplier to the gas station at the stoplights in Grantsburg. “We didn’t sell enough gallons of gas,” Jeff Anlauf, station owner, lamented. “Our former supplier, BP gas, has a minimum number of gallons to sell each month and we were going to fall just short of that number.” Jokingly inferring the station “wasn’t worthy” of the BP name, they switched suppliers. “I guess 20 years of loyalty means nothing to them,” he continued. He made it clear from the start that switching gasoline brands is more marketing than anything else. “Sinclair offers a top-tier gasoline product just like BP,” Anlauf remarked. “Customers won’t notice a
change in either mileage or performance by using this gas.” The change will occur in shifts, the first happening last Wednesday, Sept. 30. “We changed all the cash registers — we had to switch to the way Sinclair does business,” Anlauf pointed out. Even though there’s Sinclair-branded gas in the gas station’s tanks, Anlauf said the station will boast new pumps, hopefully by the middle of the month. “The new pumps will be faste plus they have EMV-ready er c card readers,” he explained. “ “It’s just our way of protecting t card-holders who use our the s station.” The EMV reader allows mot torists to use microchipped c credit cards using a more sec cure technology. The convenience-side of the s station will not change. “Our grocery provider, Corm mark, will remain the same so w are hoping the day-to-day we o operational changes are very seamless,” Anlauf noted. “We want things to be easy for the customer.” He hopes the final updates take place by the end of the month. “The imaging will include new pieces for the canopy covering the pump area,” Anlauf concluded.

Why do leaves change color in the fall? BURNETT COUNTY—When tree leaves turn bright colors in the fall, it might seem like magic. But it turns out that the brilliant autumn display is more sleight of hand, or perhaps sleight of branch, than magic. The vivid yellow and orange colors have actually been there throughout the spring and summer, but we haven’t been able to see them. The deep green color of chlorophyll, which helps plants absorb life-giving sunlight, hides the other colors. As leaves lose their chlorophyll in the fall, other pigments become visible to the human eye, according to Bryan A. Hanson, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at DePauw University who studies plant pigments. Some tree leaves turn mostly brown, indicating that all pigments are gone. Burgundy and red colors are a different story. “The red color is actively made in leaves by bright

light and cold,� says Dana A. Dudle, DePauw professor of biology who researches red pigment in plant flowers, stems and leaves. “The crisp, cold nights in the fall combine with bright, sunny days to spur production of red in leaves — especially in sugar maple and red maple trees. Burgundy leaves often result from a combination of red pigment and chlorophyll. Autumn seasons with a lot of sunny days and cold nights
will have the brightest colors.� In some cases, about half of a tree’s leaves are red/orange and the other half green. Dudle says that results from micro-environmental factors such as only half the tree being exposed to sunlight or cold. “We tend to think the colors are there for our enjoyment, and they certainly do serve that purpose,� Hanson says.

OCTOBER 7, 2015
Bitter sweet There are a lot of things I like about October. I guess my favorite would have to be the annual leaf change but I also enjoy the chilly overnights and crisp mornings — makes for some good sleeping. The chilly air also makes the sky more brilliant in the morning. As faithful readers know I’m somewhat of an early riser and I never tire of seeing the Big Dipper and other constellations seemingly ignite the morning sky. And while we’ve tickled the frost barrier, my fall raspberries continue to yield about half a pint every other day. Of course a killing frost may end that but it also brings to an end the summer life cycle of the state insect of Grantsburg — the gnat. I love my morning walks when they are bugfree. I like homecoming football games — it just seems like October is a perfect month for football, cool enough to snuggle under a stadium blanket but not so cold that you can’t wait until you have to pee because it’ll give you a chance to move around and warm up. I really like the fact that, for the most part, lawn mowing operations cease for the year during this month. Note to self: Seems change the oil in the mower beto Me fore the snow flies. Of course, the worst thing Todd Beckmann about October is that it can be a harbinger of things to come. That fact really comes home to roost the weekend I put up plastic on the screen porch, store the summer furniture from the porch and drag the shovels out of the garage. One of the saddest days of the month is the day you learn the vendors will no longer set up their stands at the weekly farmers market sites. For the better part of four months, I have been able to count on vendors like Robert Peters to supply the Beckmann table with some outstanding produce — chard, romaine, peas, broccoli, beets, watermelon, kohlrabi, green peppers, cabbage, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash. Now, however, I have to resort to the grocery store to buy what they try to pawn off as produce. Don’t believe me? Go ahead — try buying a flavorful tomato from the grocery store in January — it just ain’t possible. Almost makes me want to undertake canning as a new hobby — “almost” being the operative word there. To avoid the reliance on the grocery store for produce for as long as we can, like squirrels we’ve stockpiled a few produce items — squash in particular. Whether or not it’ll work remains to be seen but we have even attempted freezing some of our favorites. I don’t want to wish my life away, and while there are some worthwhile events to take in throughout winter, like eagle-watching at Wabasha, I can’t wait until June when we can recommence the farmers market dance.

‘See my ranger hat and badge!’ It’s National Fire Prevention Week, time for everyone to take stock of our plans for the worst case scenarios in our home — a fire. It doesn’t take much time for a fire to get started and for a tragedy to occur. This week, you will no doubt be hearing about the need for a working smoke detector in every bedroom, the importance of developing an evacuation plan and From the testing fire extinPublisher’s guishers. All of these Desk things are easy to do and a small Tom Stangl investment to protect your property and loved ones. I often feel we lull ourselves into a false sense of security, believing that with all of the advancements that have been made over the years that we are somehow invulnerable to fire. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fire, one of the four elements identified by early man, can be a powerful tool or our worst enemy. It doesn’t take long for it to go from one to another. The lessons need to be learned from an early age so when the
adrenaline kicks in, learned behavior overrides the fear. I have been fortunate in my life to have had two small fires that were easily extinguished. The adrenaline rush is very strong. My wife and I manhandled a clothes dryer that had a plastic bracelet fall on the heating element and catch fire, getting it out of the house before the fire department arrived. The volunteer fire departments that we are fortunate to have in our communities do a wonderful job protecting lives and properties. They also play a vital role in helping to educate our youth about fires. When I was growing up, getting to ride the fire engine in elementary school during fire prevention week was great fun, and also helped us pay attention to the lessons we were taught about preventing fires and what to do if the worst happened. Back in the stone ages when I was kid, we didn’t have smoke detectors. We learned about feeling the door to see if it was hot before simply jerking the door open and possibly becoming engulfed in flames. We learned to crawl our way out, because the air near the floor was the best in the room. We learned “stop, drop and roll” and using baking soda to put out a grease fire on the stove. These lessons are still good, and I

had another source for helpful fire prevention tips: a stuffed Smokey Bear that “talked” when you pulled a string. The bear would say things like “Don’t play with matches,” “See my ranger badge and hat,” “Hear that? It’s a whip-or-will,” and the iconic “Only you can prevent forest fires.” Smokey was wearing his jeans, and did have a ranger badge and hat. The badge was attached to his fur, the hat got lost a lot. I think my mom bought it for my younger brother, but it was one of those toys that you could truly annoy someone with by repeatedly pulling the string. In fact, you could even get him to stammer if you were quick enough on the draw with the string. The toy stuck around for a long time in my parents’ home. My daughters got a kick out of playing with it years after I had pulled the strings. Take the few moments to test the extinguishers. Check the plan. You might just save a life.

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

Democrats attack hunting and hunters
Grantsburg revitalization In October we celebrate Grantsburg’s sesquicentennial. We’ve all enjoyed the Sentinel’s special section of photos and history of Grantsburg for the past 150 years. This village has a very storied past. Farming, horses, regional leader in cranberry harvest, government center of Burnett County, a thriving downtown with hotels, a working mill on the river, restaurants, and a movie theater, even a train through the center of town with the distinctive moniker of “Blueberry Special”. Grantsburg has a remarkable past and a stately presence. But Grantsburg’s distinguished past has faded. The Government Center was moved to Siren. Businesses moved out or closed down. The farming, the carpet company, the transportation hub, all receded. A few good things happened. The new Grantsburg Industrial Park and Parker Hannifin’s establishment here have been good for the village. An integrated modern grade and high school campus was established along with a first class medical center. An extensive network of ski and hiking trails was built within and around the village. And a small but well instrumented airport was built. But the last 20 years
have not been so kind. Grantsburg is receding, so a real effort is being made to revitalize the village. The Grantsburg Revitalization Operation (GRO) Rod Kleiss is working to identify and advertise the natural beauty and many scenic trails and destinations within our immediate area. Friends of the Library have sponsored a new addiTrustee Village tion to the library and we have now of Grantsburg added a full time library director to establish new programs for children and adults and to make our library more meaningful to residents. Pilots are working to beautify and make the Grantsburg airport more of a preferred destination for other small plane pilots. But for GRO to be successful, the village has to step up to the plate. Without village support there will be no money next year for our full time library director. We will not be able to open the library for the longer hours that our community needs. The airport, which has
been principally ignored for years by the board, needs to be recognized as a valuable resource of Grantsburg. Our Memory Lake Park has fallen into unimaginative use as a motorized camping park for all but three days in the summer when it hosts Watercross. The trails system is being rebuilt but it needs local support to stay alive. A budget hearing will take place on Monday, October 19 for next year’s budget. I urge all residents to get involved in the budget this year. Without your support, the library may not grow at all but recede. Without your support the airport may be abandoned. The trails may be closed as too much trouble. Please feel free to contact me personally with any questions or comments. Let me know if you support a revitalized Grantsburg or not. Nothing will happen without your support. You can reach any of the Village Board members by visiting http://www.grantsburgwi.com/village-board.html Plan on coming to our Budget hearing meeting on October 19. If you don’t act, nothing will change, and that will be the only change.
years later, who of course, never saw his investment. The U.S. land patent was signed by President James Buchanan on September 10, 1859. A copy of Emerson’s will, dated April 14, 1876, recorded in the Burnett County Courthouse, shows he left the land to his heirs, including
his son, Ralph Waldo Emerson. In 1892, papers were drawn up showing the land was owned by his heirs of Concord, Middlesex County,Massachusetts. They, in turn, sold it to Gustaf Hultquist. — Land Records, Burnett County Courthouse
STROLL THROUGH THE PAST By Eunice Kanne
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the New England poet, once owned Burnett County real estate. Land in Section 17, Town of Trade Lake, was originally granted to Elias Plimpton in 1855. This was given by the United States Government in return for services in the War of 1812. He in turn assigned the land to Emerson
Last week, liberal Madison Democrat Senator Fred Risser circulated a bill attacking hunting and hunters. Senator Risser (who lives in a condominium in downtown Madison) has decided that his liberal friends should have exclusive rights to enjoy our state parks. Apparently, Senator Risser believes that the good folks from the rest of the state should not be allowed to enjoy public property if they don’t engage in activities that are pre-approved by Madison Democrats. Senator Risser claims hunting should be banned because people Adam not be in the “line of fire” in Jarchow should state parks. The ignorance of this claim is District 28 staggering and is a thinly veiled Assemblyman attack on hunters, as though they are out in the woods carelessly spraying bullets around. There is absolutely zero evidence that hunting in state parks is dangerous and Senator Risser knows it. Risser goes on to say, “there ought to be more places in the state where hunting is not permitted under any circumstances.” This is complete non-sense. The truth is, hunting is a safe family-friendly activity that we can all rally around. This bill shows the animus that many Democrats hold towards gun owners and hunters. It’s really disappointing. “My constituents are sick and tired of living the consequence of policies that seem to constantly emanate from Madison liberals. A constituent recently recommended that I author a bill requiring any problem bear or wolf trapped by DNR, be relocated to Madison. When my constituent offered this suggestion, we both enjoyed a good chuckle. Upon further review, perhaps only a bill like this would make Madison liberals understand the consequences of their policies. Maybe when their kids and pets are at risk, they will get it. Then again, maybe not.”

DISMISSED: Defense attorney: It’s a ‘Throw it against the refrigerator and see what sticks’ kind of case CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
a vacation for Carolyn, paid for it themselves and then repaid themselves from her account.” Frederic Bruno, Hitchcock-Gale’s attorney, agreed with Gherty’s line of thought. “Did you even talk to Deb or Ken to get their side of the story?” he inquired. “No,” was Wiltrout’s answer. “You made a leap of faith that because the funeral expenses appeared out of line, something must be wrong,” Gherty added. In his accounting of their financial history, Wiltrout had come across a check for $8,200 earmarked for funeral expenses yet did not locate a funeral home to which the money had been paid. “There’s no way to trace every dollar —you have to draw inferences,” Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine argued. “The sheer number of checks written on her account and ATM withdrawals is striking.” He said he agreed a durable power of attorney gives power but not that kind of power. “I think the inferences are overwhelming,” Norine said. For his part of arguing the case before the judge made his ruling, Gherty called it a “spaghetti case.” “Throw the evidence at the refrigerator and see what sticks,” he defined. “This ‘house of cards’ case against Ken falls down and I ask for the case to be dismissed.”
Bruno was of like mind. “People shouldn’t be charged out on inferences,” he argued. “You don’t determine there must be a crime because the numbers don’t add up — that’s called burden-shifting” “Even Mr. Norine said there must be an explanation the court hasn’t heard,” Bruno continued. But Norine argued the merit of that statement. “We burden-shift all the time — it’s called a preliminary hearing,” he pointed out. “It can also be called probable cause — and I believe the state is entitled to a bind-over for trial.” But the court did not agree. “The state has not met its burden,” Judge Ken Kutz ruled. In summing up the case prior to his ruling, the judge said the testimony and the bank records established where the money came from but there was no evidence presented suggesting where it went or how it was spent. “A lot of the money seems to be for legitimate expenses,” Judge Kutz surmised. “What the state has done however, is say that if we can’t prove it to be legitimate, it must be illegitimate —but that’s not how it works.” The judge then dismissed the case and dismissed the bond imposed by the court against the two. Unless further evidence can be brought to light, Monday’s hearing is the end of the case against Gale and Hitchcock-Gale.
David vs. Goliath? BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—Even the briefest of observations will tell you the Burnett County District Attorney’s office is woefully understaffed with no relief in sight. “With an ever-increasing mandate from the state and the static resources of our office, things are not likely to change,” D.A. Bill Norine told members of the county’s public safety committee last week. That mandate includes more arrests for criminal behavior and tougher penalties to be levied against criminals. “Ours is the third most understaffed D.A.s office in the state,” Norine pointed out. He’s not making excuses. “I don’t want this to come across like we’re scrambling to get the job done because we are getting the job done, but people do need to know what’s going on,” he said. According to Wisconsin Department of Administration, the caseload in Burnett County calls for 1.9 district attorneys. The county has Norine and Angeline Winton, who serves in a quarter-time role — giving the county 1.25 prosecutors. “Are other counties facing what Burnett County is facing?” Jerry Pardun, committee chair, queried. “It seems like we are getting the short end of the stick.” Norine said there are other counties in this portion of the state which are in the same boat. “When I started on the job, I was told it was all political,” he explained. He added that circuit court judges have reserve judges as a backup so if they are ill or need to miss court for some reason, the reserve judges can be called in and the case load goes on as scheduled. “That’s not the case for the D.A.s office,” Norine remarked. To make matters worse, Norine said his office has learned seven to eight judges have been added around the state plus 10 new public defenders have been added. For whatever help it may bring, Norine
Emmett Byrne
put together a resolution for the committee to act on. “We need to get other counties which are short-staffed to sign on with us so when it gets to Madison, it will carry more weight,” member Emmett Byrne suggested. Other members told Norine to seek out and get help from area legislators. “Talk to (Sheila) Harsdorf and (Adam) Jarchow,” members Don Chell and Dale Dresel urged. “Make sure to keep the pressure on — the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” The committee will formulate Norine’s comments into an actionable resolution and bring it back to the November meeting.
Towers
The Sirentel tower in Jackson, the eighth of the nine towers in the Burnett County Emergency Communication tower network, is on track to be online by the end of the month. That was the news from Rhonda Reynolds, the county’s emergency management director.
NEWSLINE Supporting Siren High School graduates and community SIREN—For over 15 years, a group of Siren moms interested in helping the students and community of Siren have raised funds for the Siren High School Moms For Kids Scholarship. Earlier this year, a total of $1,500 in scholarship funds were awarded to Harriet Koball, Mercedes Moody and Bryce Highstrom. Funds for Moms For Kids are raised through two annual events — Northwoods Christmas, a fine arts and crafts show held the first Saturday in November and the Rainbow of Fun Carnival held in late March/early April. Both of these events are held at the Siren School. Other activities include the Moose Lodge’s annual Trunk or Treat on Oct. 31 in Siren, donating food to 15 families
during the holidays and hosting Prairie Fire Children’s Theater in March/April of 2016. Many other donations are made to various school and youth organizations and to those in need in the community. Moms For Kids has been supporting the Siren School and community for nearly 30 years. They can be contacted through Facebook under Moms For Kids WI.
Choir opportunity available GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Chorale has been invited to sing in the Cathedral Series of the Manhattan Concert Productions. The Chorale will travel by bus to Chicago to perform at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, in downtown Chicago.
The group will be part of a large choir that will perform music written and directed by Dr. René Clausen. The trip is June 25-28, 2016. René Clausen is professor of music at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota and has served as conductor of The Concordia Choir since 1986. He is the artistic director of the Emmy award-winning Concordia Christmas Concerts, which are frequently featured by PBS stations throughout the nation. Clausen is a renowned composer and arranger, having written more than 100 commissioned compositions for organizations such as The King’s Singers, Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the American Choral Directors Association. He is also a frequent guest conductor, composer-in-residence, clinician and
Pumpkin Pie BBLIZZARD LIZZARD TTREAT REAT
lecturer. Clausen has conducted such works as Mozart’s Requiem, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Brahms’ Requiem, Britten’s War Requiem and several of his own works including Gloria – in three movements. On several occasions, Clausen has conducted at Lincoln Center and at Carnegie Hall. Any singer who is interested in being part of this outstanding choral experience should contact Chorale director Linda Benge at Grantsburg High School, or come to the Sunday evening rehearsals, which start at 7 p.m. in the high school music room. Anyone is welcome to join the group for the touring concert even if you have not previously sung with the Grantsburg Chorale.

‘Hear the beep where you sleep’ BY MEG ROD SENTINEL INTERN
GRANTSBURG—Starting October 4 and ending on October 10, communities all around the nation will stop, drop, and roll into Fire Prevention Week. The reasoning behind this week is to remember the damaging fires that occurred in the northern United States in the early 1870’s. The fires that occurred back then could be recognized as some of the worst in American history, and so they became the roots of what our town will observe this week. Fire prevention seems pretty different nowadays when being compared to the late 19th century. There are technologies that make it easier to detect fires, equipment that can stop the flame, and people who can report to them faster than ever before. So why is it necessary to have a week
dedicated to something that does not happen as often as it did in the last 100 years? The answer is simple — it is because of these advancements and people that we do not struggle with this problem as often anymore. Without workers for the department, our fire emergencies could become an issue in other close parts of the state, if given time to grow. And the volunteers are the main reason for this not being a bigger problem. In Burnett County, volunteers available from any surrounding town will rush to a call (even departments from Minnesota will assist in emergencies). So in short, this week is a balance of appreciation and awareness. A full time staff is not necessarily needed if volunteers are able to get to a scene promptly. The Town of Jackson and the Villages of Siren and Webster were all asked
about if they were planning on creating a full-time staff. They all answered that they did not see it in the near future, which is not necessarily a bad thing. They said the volunteers do a good job of ensuring that there are people on the scene, so the need for people to be working for a department 24/7 is not there. The majority of firefighters in the United States are volunteers, and this is no different for the rural areas of Burnett County. Cory Barnette is the only full-time firefighter for the Grantsburg department, because the rest are volunteers who take it as a part-time gig. He is the inspector who checks houses and buildings to minimize fire-risk factors. Barnette is fine with being the only full-time man on staff, because he knows the others have different jobs to tend to during the day. “With the volunteers, you can only
take so much time away from them — I can handle most of it so the guys can take a break,” Barnette remarked. This does not stop them from being prepared though, and when a problem arises there are always people ready to arrive to the scene. Regardless of who will make it to what fire, it is always best to stop the issue before it happens. Being proactive is the first step so people need to be reminded of how to keep their land safe. This year’s theme (picked by the National Fire Protection Association) could not have said it any better — “Hear the beep where you sleep.” Referring to how every bedroom should have a smoke alarm, this catchy rhyme is something that all homeowners need to keep in the back of their mind.
Wisconsin School Board appreciation week GR A N TSBU RG — The Wisconsin Association of School Boards has set Oct. 4-10 as Wisconsin School Board Appreciation Week as a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function Chris Erickson an elected board of education plays in our communities. Grantsburg School District is joining all public school districts across the state to celebrate the week to honor local board members for their commitment to the Grantsburg community, its children, and families throughout the State of Wisconsin through iForward. “It takes strong schools to build a strong community, and these men and women devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn at a higher level,” Dr. Joni Burgin, Superintendent, shares. “They make the tough decisions every month and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of accountability our citizens expect.” Superintendent Burgin said the key work of school boards is to raise student achievement by: • Creating a vision for what the com-

now,� Harsdorf noted. “It will also require physicians check the PDMP before they prescribe a drug so we aren’t feeding someone’s addiction.� Another part of the heroin package of bills includes one which require law enforcement, when they come across these monitored prescription drugs, to report it to the PDMP, who in turn, notifies the prescribing physician. “It is intended to build better communication and collaboration between law enforcement and the medical provider,� she remarked. Public hearings on this bills, which are just in the process of being introduced, could occur in the next few weeks. “It’s important for people to come and testify at these public hearings so we hear of any issues regarding these bills which need to be addressed,� Harsdorf concluded. “That said, I expect broad support — people realize the harm and destruction that come from this kind of addiction.�

IN
GRANTSBURG—Since the state legislature has been focused the past few years on creating a friendly business climate in order to draw employers to the state as well as encouraging job creation, the State Senate is going back to what has worked for them in the past when it is in session this fall. “A number of years ago we held a series of roundtable discussions where we could hear directly from the employers,� State Senator Sheila Harsdorf (R-River Falls) recalled. Business owners, economic development specialists and manufacturing representatives were among the invited participants. Because the feedback from those creating jobs and working to grow jobs is crucial, the Senate is sponsoring another round of discussions. “Because not everyone can afford to take a day or two off work to travel to Madison to be a part of one of these discussions, I wanted to make sure there was a roundtable in our part of the state,� Harsdorf continued. So as a part of her efforts, the Senate Committee on Economic Development and Commerce has scheduled an economic development roundtables in western Wisconsin on October 12 in Menomonie. “People will be invited to be part of the roundtable,� Harsdorf pointed out. “Legislators in each district have submitted names and the committee will handle the invites — we hope to have a good representation of job creators.� In addition to invites, the meetings will be posted as open to the public so anyone who wants to attend will be able to attend. “The roundtables are really a discussion-type format so we can hear directly from people in job creation what the challenges are and what we as a state can do to address issues they are facing.� Harsdorf said the roundtable-format really worked well last time out. “We passed a number of bills from recommendations which came out of those roundtables,� she said. “It reinforced my belief government works best when it listens to the people.�

class wins almost every year, and it was a close competition between the two classes near the end of the week. The parade is an event that makes homecoming a grand tradition. Floats roll by, kids scamper out onto the pavement to collect candy, and the football players stroll down the street in their jerseys to represent the main event of the week. As Coach Lehne remarked though, there still needs to be a sense of focus among the players, even with the distractions of the week. “The game on Friday night is the most important part for the coaches and players. When you win, it is such a great feeling, but if you lose, you can feel like you have let a lot of people down.” Even with the festivities all being so different, the entire week always has a way of bringing people together — even those who are generations apart. Wyatt Swanson, (freshman), voiced it quite well — “A lot of our parents and relatives have done this week in the past, and it’s like we are upholding a tradition.”

in that day. Volleyball games followed within the next few days. While the junior class won the event, they competed in a close final game against the teachers. The teachers won, yet it was a notable achievement for any class beside the seniors to play in this round. Thursday the people involved in the skits and lip syncs were running through their lines. Most of the grades had something prepared by Friday and none of the performers seemed shy in the lime-light. Megan Miller (senior) stated that she loves this part of the week. “It’s something to do besides sports and it gives us a chance to be creative.” Next up, members of the homecoming court walked onto the stage. Josh Curtin and JohnnieMae Moritz were crowned as Homecoming King and Queen and were thrilled to receive this honor. It was after the stage festivities and coronation that the juniors were announced the winners of the 2015 spirit cup, which made the energy of the room rise much higher than before. The senior

GRANTSBURG—Homecoming week: When the marching band warms up in head-to-toe purple attire, students throw together skits and parade floats on short notice, and strange yet peppy outfits can be worn daily without judgment. It has always been this way, yet each year there are always twists and turns that make every homecoming unique and memorable. This year was no different. While Pre-K through eighth grade participated during the week with dress-up days, the 9th-12th graders quickly assembled what they needed for the week’s upcoming activities as they took school spirit to the next level. During homecoming week, the high school takes part in friendly competitions in hopes of winning the spirit cup. Whichever grade gains the most points from all of the activities combined would be crowned the winners of homecoming 2015. During the pep session on Monday, the band fired up the audience with the school cheer. In past years, this is where all of the energy would begin, and Monday was no different. The homecoming court was announced with two representatives for each grade, and 10 for the senior class. On Tuesday, girl’s powderpuff football proved to be a success when it was moved out onto the varsity field, with the fans piled into the newly-built stands. Juana Olson, (freshman), commented on her favorite part of this event. “I love the football game because the boy’s cheerleading is hilarious,” (anyone who has witnessed the male-cheerleading competition would most likely agree.) Meanwhile. the students brought in plenty of donations for the food drive because points doubled for any canned goods brought

Forts Folle Avoine — BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
DANBURY—”We give them something they can’t get in school,” Steve Wierschem, director of Forts Folle Avione Historical Park, said of the school groups which tour the fort each fall and spring. “We give them a hands-on opportunity to see how life was in the late 1700s and early 1800s, during the time of the fur trade.” Wierschem stepped out of his role of skinning a beaver. There were at least three school groups at the fort on Friday — Frederic, Barron and Hill-Murray out of the Twin Cities. There were at least a dozen stations set up around the fort and kids shuttled between learning about guns and black powder to wigwams to the life of a voyageur. “Our fourth grade curriculum studies the history of Wisconsin, including the fur trade era,” teacher Jennifer Miller of Barron said of her school’s visit. “This is a great hands-on experience for the kids.”
What’s the alternative to a field trip to the fort? “Textbooks,” Miller pointed out. “But the kids get so much more out of the visit here.” Those textbook pages come to life in the hands of the dozen and a half interpreters who volunteer their time and energy to sharing their part of the story. “The kids can actually see a working clay oven, listen to the interpreters who are baking bread and actually taste the finished product,” Wierschem continued. And that’s just one station. “The kids stop at the Indian Village where they can listen to interpreters who speak several tongues,” he boasted. “They get to throw a tomahawk.” It’s just one thing after another — it’s hands-on history at its best. “Sure, they can read about it in their classroom but if they come here they can see it,” Wierschem pointed out. “It’s ‘living history.’” The kids are amazed that the interpreters live in canvas tents along the Yellow River and that they cook over open fires.

Don Chesney (tending the fire) share what life was like for fur trade voyageurs with Barron 6th graders.
“I don’t think there are very many frowns when the kids are set to leave,” Wierschem added. “They all get engaged in some fashion.”

sake of the historical park they were visiting. “The ‘crazy oats crew’ harvested 320-pounds of wild rice, dried it and it’s now up for sale in the gift shop,” interpreter Ginny Wierschem noted. Art Linkletter said it best when he said “Kids say the darnedest things,” and Steve Wierschem tends to agree. “I was skinning this beaver and one
kid said ‘Are those real teeth?’” he recalled with a laugh. “Another one asked ‘Is that a real fire?’” He said one of the best parts of the experience is it gets them out of the surroundings they know and puts them in a woodland setting. “Some of these kids, especially those from the inner-city, are seeing things they’ve never seen before,” Wierschem remarked. Several school groups make the annu-

al trek to Forts Folle Avoine. “We run between 1,500 and 1,600 students through here,” he estimated. “I think we are putting out a pretty good educational program.” Even though Friday was a picture-perfect day for outside activities, that’s not always the case. “I remember one day we were having a downpour so I was calling schools to see if and when they wanted to reschedule,” Wierschem remembered. “I got a hold of
one school who said they were coming despite the weather — ‘We’re dressed for it’ was the harsh reply.” Sure enough, later that day, he’s watching all these kids moving station to station in their garbage bags. Wierschem said that typifies what makes Forts Folle Avoine such a special place — he must be right if a 12 year old kid is willing to wear a garbage bag for half a day.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
We still have an influx of felines at our shelter, and we still need your help finding homes for these wonderful kitties. However, I decided to finally give a dog a chance at this article. Calla is a nine-year-old Husky mix who came to us as a stray. This girl is about 50 pounds (a little on the thin side) and not too big and not too small … she’s just right! Calla is a little shy at first, but really sweet once you get to know her. She doesn’t look her age at all! Calla is also smart and knows at least two commands (sit and come). This senior needs to find a home for her retirement. Are you that special someone who will adopt an older dog and give her the love, support, and comfort deserved for her remaining years? Because Calla of Calla’s age, we are reducing the adoption fee from $195 to $100 - but don’t tell her she didn’t get the full price! We go from a senior dog to a wounded cat (just to pull at your heart). Jasmine is a one-year-old kitty who fought for her life when attacked by a fisher. She was left with part of her nose and mouth torn off. Although Jasmine looks a little rough, she has healed and her traumatic experience has not affected her gentle demeanor. (She also eats and drinks just fine.) I crawled into her converted dog kennel to say hi the other day and she was just the sweetest little thing you’d ever want to meet. Jasmine is small for her age. I actually thought she was still a kitten. Jasmine is gentle and loving and just wanted to be in my lap and get her tummy rubbed. I know I say this a lot but if I didn’t already have two cats, I’d take this little gal home faster than you can say: “Here kitty kitty!” If you are interested in adopting Calla, Jasmine, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

Good day for conservation lesson GRANTSBURG—One hundred-seventy five fifth graders from Webster, Siren, and Grantsburg attended the “Annual Conservation Day for 5th Graders” at Crex Meadows last week. To start the day, the students were provided with introductions to the presenters and instructions on the day’s events. After breaking into seven groups, the kids rotated from session to session to learn about different conservation topics presented by staff from the Burnett County Land and Water Conservation Department (LWCD), Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). The topics included water quality (Paul Cook – Conservation Specialist); wildlife habitat (Kristi Pupak – Wildlife Educator); soils and erosion (Deanna Peterson – NRCS Conservationist); trees (Mark Gossman – DNR forest ranger); geology (John Park – rock and mineral authority), forest fire safety (John Furr – DNR forester); and aquatic invasive species (Kris Larsen – DNR water resource specialist).

Girls week equals great “Girly” food While the men of the house are out fishing, it’s “girls week.” During “girls” week, we get to do many things the boys really don’t want to do. We watch girly movies, talk for hours about everything, and eat lighter. Our meals were things like tomato-basil bruschetta (yes, this can be a meal not just an appetizer), grilled veggie pizza, burritos, cheese with French bread, and grilled chicken with angel hair pasta. Our favorite Wild Chow meal by far was the pasta.

Tigers out-gunned in fourth quarter
OCTOBER 7, 2015
Pirates get Homecoming victory; improve to 7-0 BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS
BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers hung in with the Cameron Comets on Friday night, going into the fourth and final quarter knotted at 8, before allowing 28 points by the Comets, and losing the contest by a 36-14 margin. “Our guys fought hard and stayed with Cameron for a long time,” praised Tiger coach Jovin Kroll. “We were able to hold the ball for almost an entire quarter in the first half, and when the opponent doesn’t have the ball, they generally can’t score.” “Frankie (DeBlase) ran hard again tonight, and our young kids played well. Sophomore Austin Moser did a great job stepping up and playing the entire game at center for our senior captain Alec Ralph who was injured on the first defensive series of the night.” “Trevor Gustafson, Jack Washburn, and Ross Daniels all played well in their first varsity starts as freshmen, so I’m happy with the effort. We were tied at the half, so we’re improving, but we’re just not there yet to where we can play a full game on both sides of the ball.” Cameron’s Brady Schoenecker passed 10 yards to James Basolo for the game’s first score. The two point conversion was good. On the ensuing kickoff, Frank DeBlase returned the ball 80 yards for the touchdown. He also carried the ball on the two point play which tied the score at eight which lasted into the last quarter. The Comets scored four times in that period. Schoenecker ran for 5 and 35 yards for touchdowns. He passed to Hunter Gillett for a 16 yard score, and Josh Rodriguez ran for 40 yards and a score. Webster scored on a six yard run by Jack Washburn. Offensively, Frank DeBlase was the man of the night with 29 rushes for 108 yards. Jack Washburn had top honors in passing, going four for seven good for 47 yards. No defensive stats were available at press time. Says Coach Kroll, “The future is bright here; we just need to keep on pressing and improving.” This week the Tigers travel to St. Croix Falls for a Friday night, 7 p.m. conference game.

GRANTSBURG—It was a festive Homecoming night with the stands and sidelines filled with purple as Grantsburg fans turned out to watch their undefeated Pirates take on the St. Croix Saints. After a slow first half, the Pirates turned up the heat to get the 24-7 win, moving them to a 7-0 record on the season in their quest for the conference crown. “A great Homecoming night and win for our guys against a tough and well coached St. Croix Falls team. I felt we had our most focused week of practice of the season and the kids played with great intensity all night,” Pirates head coach Adam Hale said of his team. “Besides the long drive we gave up before the half, I thought our defense played terrific and kept a good Saints offense in check most of the night.” It was a defensive battle the first quarter as both teams struggled to move the ball offensively, and it was 0-0 game at the end of one quarter of play. The Pirates got on the board first in the second quarter when Avery Fagerberg ran it in from five yards out. Fagerberg also kicked the point after to put the

GRANTSBURG—With both schools in the midst of busy, chaotic Homecoming weeks, the Webster Tigers traveled to Grantsburg Thursday night in the hopes of ruining the Pirates’ festivities, but it was not to be as Grantsburg took the win in three straight, 25-11, 2522 and 25-15. “Our serving inconsistency and hitting errors got the best of us again tonight. Grantsburg is tough, and we were right with them in the second game. I would’ve like to see the girls play with them all three games, but we just didn’t push hard enough in games one and three,” Webster coach Stefanie Janssen said of her Tiger squad. In game number one, the net play of the Pirates was key as they made short work of the Tigers. Cassidy Lee had her hands high over the net blocking big hits from the Tigers’ front line. “We were able to stop their powerful attack a few times, and Cassidy Lee’s blocking was spot on as

‘Good day for a run’ BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS
CABLE—A crisp autumn day greeted runners Thursday as they ran the Telemark Cross Country Invitational in Cable. Senior Jackson Gerber led the way for the Grantsburg Pirates as he crossed the line in 18:17.2, finishing 11th overall. “Jackson really stuck out with a huge PR (personal record) and an 11th place finish,” Andy Richardson, Pirates coach, praised. “It was a great race for him.” His teammates, Joseph Ohnstad (18:53.8), Spencer Louis (19:06.4), Andy Hartshorn (19:42.8) and Camillo Volkman (19:48.3) packed up and finished 20th, 21st, 34th and 35th, respectively. “It is fun to watch these guys run in a pack together, I think it helps push each other along and they can feed off one another,” Richardson said of the ‘pack running’ mentality. “If one guy speeds up, the others know that they better go with him.” The coach said it was good to see Hartshorn and Volkman back in the mix. “This was Andy’s first meet back and he did a great job being able to run through pain and put forth a great race,” Richardson noted. “Another name that stuck out was Camilo, who has been battling some injuries and sickness throughout the season — this was just his 2nd race of the season and he was able to go under 20 minutes and be one of our top five runners.”
The Pirates finished fourth as a team. “The Tigers had a great meet,” Roy Ward, Webster coach, exclaimed. “The weather was perfect for racing — all of them pr’ed (personal record).” The coach said the course, set on the Telemark Golf Course, had a nice mix of hills and flat areas. Junior Andrew Ruiz led the Tigers, crossing the line in 2nd place overall, with a time of 17:28.6. He and teammate Joey Formanek (7th in 17:47) earned medals as top 10 finishers. Darrick Nelson (24th in 19:11.3), Mason Schaaf (20:18.4) and Brett Johnson (20:26.7) were the 3rd, 4th and 5th place finishers for the Tigers. “I was really proud of how well they raced,” the coach praised. “It was exciting to see and feel the energy tonight.” As a team, the Tigers finished 5th out of 11 teams. “I like the momentum going forward,” Ward observed.
Girls Even though they placed three runners in the top six, the Lady Pirates ran their way to a third place finish out of the six complete teams racing on Thursday. The top two teams, Cameron and Phillips, each had their top-five runners finished amongst the first 25 runners. For the Pirates, it was a pack finish as Brittanie Blume, Haillie Jensen and Grace Gerber finished fourth, fifth and sixth, posting times of 20:11.2, 20:43,4 and 20:47.6, respectively. “Our top three girls again had great
races against some really tough competition,” Richardson pointed out. “They continue to run really well — as we will be going against some tough teams in conference and in sections, I am looking forward to seeing how they stack up individually and as a team.” The fourth and fifth runners for the Pirates, Danielle Bertelson and Maddie Duncan, packed up as well, finishing 31st and 32nd in times of 24:54.4 and 25:02.1. “ Danielle was really close to a season best and Maddie ran her season best,” the coach said of his No. 4 and No. 5 runners. All five of the Pirates top finishers are underclassmen, which speaks to the strength of the team. “It is pretty exciting that all of these girls will be back next year,” Richardson observed. On the other hand, the Lady Tigers did not field a complete team. That being said however, it did not prevent freshman Sam Nelson from earning herself a medal by finishing first for the Tigers, 10th overall, by crossing the line 21:35.1. She was followed by Lexi Symond

mented. The Pirates’ Rhiana Pochman was on fire offensively, slamming the ball down from the middle to help lead the Pirates to a 25-11 win. Game two also went to the Pirates, but it was the Webster defense that made this a great game to watch. It seemed whatever Grantsburg served up, the Tigers moved their feet to the ball, or had an arm stuck out just at the right time to return everything that came their way. When Taylor Howe stepped behind the serving line, her powerful serving gave the Pirates fits receiving the ball and trying to set up any attacks. “We did not have much of an answer for Kaitlyn Moser’s smartly placed hits, and Taylor Howe served extremely tough, contributing to another high amount of receiving errors. We’ll hammer that out. The thing I like about this year’s team is that we don’t get down after passing errors,” Allaman-Johnson added. The Pirates dug in and powered back in the third set to take the sweep, 25-15 thanks to some smart play at the net and big blocks against the powerful Tiger offense. Leading the way for the Tigers for the night was Howe with four aces, six kills, and three digs. Sophie Phernetton recorded six blocks for the night to go along with two kills. Kaitlyn Moser played solid with six kills and six blocks. Lydia Wilson had six digs with two assists and two blocks. Skyler Winkler led the team in digs with 10. On the Pirates’ side of the net, Delia Labatt had the hot hand as she put down 10 kills, followed by Pochman with nine. Olivia Tucker and Lee each recorded six kills. Briena Jensen had nine digs to lead the team. Drew McNally had eight with Tucker and Labatt recording seven each.

Pirates keep rolling with win over Eagles BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
BALSAM LAKE—“If I had to pick one word to describe this match, it would be “wonky,” said Pirate volleyball coach Deb Allaman-Johnson following her team’s 3-0 win over Unity last week. “I’ve never been one to stop at one word, though, so here we go! “On paper, we looked pretty good. If you only read the stat report, it seemed like a good game. But if you watched us play…oh boy. It was just “off.” I’m not going to dwell on this, however, because the fact is that a few people had great games individually, and I don’t want to discredit their outstanding contributions or diminish the fact that we still beat a good team.” “I truly believe that BOTH teams are much better than they showed. Unity missed a lot of serves in the first set, which is not like them at
all from my limited perspective. Once they got into their groove, they served extremely tough, so much so that we had FIVE receiving errors. Pretty uncharacteristic for this year’s team. We made a lot of hitting errors in the first set, but we really buckled down for the rest of the match. Still, a lot of the kills were weird little bloopers, tape balls, or miraculous landings within millimeters of the end line.” The biggest reason for the sputtering was the poor passing and defense. We did not put a lot of balls in front of the ten foot line, which caused our setters to stumble and our hitters to constantly adjust. We are a good “out of system” team, though, so I was not too upset.” “Unity’s setter is a sophomore, the coach’s daughter, and she has a bright future. They also have a big boomer and blocker in Emma Moore. Some smartly placed at-
tacks made our defense falter, and they picked up a lot of balls off our block. It felt like we were blocking a little better, but we fell short of our goal because of Unity’s hitter coverage success, causing many of our blocks to be mere deflections and not score points. “Cassidy (Lee) had a very steady game, smashed six aces, and ended up playing very solid defense. Subs Britta (Roufs), Jenna (McNally) and Amber (Pedersen) did well on the court. I always admire our starters when they graciously take the bench so our subs can get more experience. Seniors Delia (Labatt) (captain) and Drew (McNally) handled this with grace and cheered unceasingly for their team. Rhiana (Pochman) hit the quick sets powerfully. Rhiana, Delia, and Olivia (Tucker) connected on 50 percent or more of their sets for kills. Briena (Jensen) only missed one serve.”
Dragons tough, but fall to Saints BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
SIREN—The Siren Dragons “played well, but they played better,” last Thursday as the Saints blanked the Dragons 3-0 in West Lakeland volleyball action, said Dragon Coach Caryn Stanford. The game scores were 25-22, 25-17 and 25-23. The maximum point differential in game one was six at 21-15, but the Dragons wouldn’t give up. Three Saints mistakes got the Dragons to 21-18. An “in the net” call on St. Croix narrowed the gap to 23-21. Each team tallied one, 24-22 Saints, and then a return in the net by Siren enabled St. Croix to win game one. Game two was close all the way to when the Saints were up 17-15. Then a 5-0 run gave them a 22-15 lead. The Dragons got just two more points, coming on two Saints serves into the net. A wide return by the Dragons gave the Saints the win. Siren moved out to a commanding 12-3 lead in game three before SCF called a time out. An ace by St. Croix forced the Dragons to take a time out, still leading 15-10, but the Saints had gained some momentum. A kill by Amy Stanford kept the Dragons up at 19-17. But two aces by St. Croix put them in the lead at 23-22.
Amy Stanford and Aubri Larson work at returning the ball.
A Siren kill kept them in the game at 24-23, but then a kill by St. Croix ended the comeback attempt for the Dragons. The Dragons will have hosted
Unity on Tuesday and will host Frederic on Thursday. Next week they will travel to Grantsburg and Luck to finish the regular season.
Pirate coach says 50 percent BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
NEW RICHMOND—“We won exactly 50 percent of our matches, 50 percent of our games (sets),” reported Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson. “We were at approximately 50 percent strength. We put forth a half-hearted effort half of the time. We missed 50 percent more serves than usual. We committed 50 percent more passing errors than usual. We looked half dead and played that way, at times. Our normally supportive bench was around half-volume today. The synthetic volleyballs with a textured surface and lighter bounce drove us half-mad and our eyes were half shut straining against the bright back light of the high gym windows. It was not our best day.” The Pirates defeated Baldwin-Woodville 2-0 (25-19, 25-16) and Somerset 2-1 (23-25, 25-13, 15-10). They lost to Barron 2-1 (25-20, 21-15, 7-15) and to Altoona 2-0 (1715, 21-25). All four schools were Division 2 schools and Grantsburg is Division 3. “There is no doubt that we were physically, mentally, and emotionally fatigued after a very intense and jam-packed week. I had to pry the team off the floor during our warm ups for the last match.” “We played in back to back weekend tournaments with two big conference games during the craziest week of the school year. I will CONTINUE to plead our case to move the Homecoming dance to a Saturday evening.” “Every team we played today offered great competition. Sometimes we won in spite of our performance, and sometimes we could not overcome ourselves. Altoona has a potential D2 or D1 college player who did a lot of damage, and Barron’s #15 almost single handedly sealed the deal for her team. Other than that, we were simply off our game and I would love a re-match with either team.” “We didn’t serve above 90 percent as a team the entire day. Bizarre. In two telling examples of our mental focus, we had our FIRST out of rotation call all season and two players absentmindedly subbed improperly. When your top passer has more receiving errors in one day than she has the entire season, you know you’re out of whack.” “But there is always something to celebrate. The number one thing to celebrate is safe travel and no serious injuries. Our hitters made few unforced errors. We had some good comebacks. We were down 17-24 and got to 21 points before missing a serve. Britta (Roufs) and Jenna (McNally) came into high pressure situations and performed well. Cassidy (Lee) and Kenna (Johnson) blocked well, Claire (Palmquist) set well, Brie (Briena Jensen) had great serving focus, Livi (Olivia Tucker), Delia (Labatt) and Drew (McNally) played good defense most of the time. Rhiana (Pochman) and Violet (Ohnstad) hit well but did not get the ball a lot.” The Pirates go to Luck October 8 and host Siren October 13. Regional play begins October 20.

Vikings outlast Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—In a match where three of the four games went to “overtime,” the Frederic Vikings outlasted the Webster Tigers three games to one, the scores being 2927, 21-25, 27-25 and 26-24. Frederic got off to a 3-1, then a 4-2 lead in game one before the Tigers knotted the score at four on a kill by Taylor Howe. Then the Vikings jumped out to an 11-5 edge before Webster was able to claw back and tie the score at 15. A kill by Kaitlyn Moser kept the Tigers in the game at 18 all. Howe
knotted the score at 24 on a kill. A short return by Webster gave the Vikings a 28-27 advantage and then a long return by the Tigers gave Frederic the win. Game two was much the same, but this time, after being tied at 18, the Tigers got an ace from Moser and two kills from Howe to take the game 25-21. The Tigers moved out front in game three by as much as nine, 123. Howe and Bailey Woodford kept the Vikings at bay for a major part of the game. Frederic, though, would just not go down as they cam back from that 12-3 deficit and tied the game at
24. The Tigers got one more tally in the game on a Kaitlyn Moser kill, but two short returns by the Tigers and a hitting infraction gave Frederic three points and the win. At 24-24, in game four, a long service by the Tigers and an “in the net” call enabled the Vikings to take game four and the match. Taylor Howe had three aces, 16 kills, a block, three digs and 11 assists for the Tigers. Lydia Wilson recorded two blocks, 10 digs and two assists. Hailey Hunter assisted 23 times. Sophie Phernetton recorded two aces, 13 kills and 12 blocks.

the half. Grantsburg came out of the break fired up and took the opening drive of the third quarter down the field to take the lead for good. This score was through the air, Fagerberg to Dakota Schultz from 10 yards out. The point after was good as well. With changes from the Pirate defense in the second half, the Saints had trouble moving the ball and were held scoreless the second half. Grantsburg, on the other hand, wasn’t done scoring this quarter. Fagerberg ran in the second TD of the quarter from three yards out. Again the point after was true giving the hometown boys a 21-7 edge at the end of the third. A one-handed, acrobatic interception by Fagerberg on SCF’s opening drive of the fourth quarter set the
tone for the remainder of the game and the Pirates tough defense shut down any hopes of the Saints moving the ball. The Pirate offense took time off the clock and scored on a 29 yard field goal to close out the game at 24-7. Rushing leaders for the Pirates were Fagerberg with 103 yards. John Chenal had 94 with Jaeger Staeven adding 61 more. Schultz pounded out 31 yards, with Leo Chenal adding 10 yards. Schultz, John Chenal, and Staeven also led the team in receiving yards, sharing 86 yards. “Offensively, we shot ourselves in the foot early on but overcame those mistakes and put together some good drives the rest of night,” Hale noted. “Avery Fagerberg, John Chenal and Jaeger Staeven all ran the ball extremely hard and our O-line continued to adjust and play better as the game went on.”
The Pirate defense held the Saints to just 211 total yards on offense— most of those coming in the first half. Linebacker Mason McEvers plugged up any running room in the middle and had five solo tackles and six assists. Fellow linebacker, John Chenal, took care of the side to side run stops with eight solos and eight assists to lead the team. Schultz had three solos and four assists from one side of the defensive end spot. The other D-end, Leo Chenal ended his night with five solos and four assists. On the line it was Jake Wicklund with four solos and four assists. Chase Covey had four solos and two assists. Austin Bowman had two solos and three assists with a sack added in. The Pirates travel to Cameron this Friday to take on the Comets. Game time is 7 p.m.

NOVEL IDEAS “So Long Joe,� Lahane Wraps up His Coughlin Trilogy A longtime favorite of many, Dennis Lehane, completes his Joseph Coughlin thriller-crime series with the “World Gone By.� His previous two books featuring the Boston-born, Irish cop turned gangster were “The Given Day,� published in 2008, and “Live by Night,� 2012. Fans have been waiting to find out what happened to Coughlin, after the mobster’s Cuban wife was killed, a murder that spawned revenge and Coughlin’s semi-retirement, a move he made a decade ago. In “World Gone By� Coughlin has hung up his mob-boss suit and assumed a genteel, yet crooked lifestyle, rubbing shoulders with politicians and the upper crust in Tampa, Fla., making charitable donations, while carrying on a love affair with the mayor’s wife. Coughlin knows how to make money and fill other’s pockets as well. He appears to be respectable, maintaining a low profile as he wheels and deals during the World War II years. But now someone’s out to get Coughlin, and though he’s a con man, he’s scared — not only for himself but for the safety of his cherished, nearly 10-year-old son, Tomas. Anxiety riddles his psyche, and bullets fly as one mob boss crosses the other, in a series of bloody encounters. While Coughlin is ruthless, Lehane embodies him with qualities that make him endearing. He’s a mobster with a conscience, who can’t quit looking over his shoulder as he tries to flush out the rat that’s determined to take him down.
“World Gone By� is entertaining. Its strength lies in the personal stories of the mobsters with all their foibles. But the book delves into so many characters that it’s difficult to keep them straight. Still Lehane’s newest is required reading, if only to see what happens to a mobster we can’t help but care about. * * * * *
“The Buried Giant,� A Fantasy with Staying Power Sometimes it’s nice to stretch yourself as a reader, tackle a book outside your preferred genre. That’s the reason I read the fable/fantasy “The Buried Giant,� by British author Kazuo Ishiguro, best known for his novel “The Remains of the Day.� From the first page of “Giant� I was mesmerized. Ishiguro’s writing is gloriously beautiful, his description of Arthurian England as handsome as the book I held in my hands, a collector-like edition with creamy, heavy-stock paper, and pages tipped in a rich brown that coordinates with the deep, forest-green cover. The sepia illustration on the end pages serve as a preview of the book’s setting, a landscape a-swirl with paths twining around peaks, an ogre about to enter one, a dragon pictured in its lair nestled in the mountains. An elderly couple, Axl and Beatrice, follow these paths on a quest to find their son, who went who knows where, who knows when. The couple has a nagging “unnamed loss� that seeps into their brains, an unsettling feeling that descends on them, resulting from a mist that moves over the moors and valleys
of the landscape where they live in a warren with others dug into a hillside. All of the inhabitants of the land have ceased to have clear memories of the recent and distant past. On Axl and Beatrice’s journey, they happen onto a bevy of mysterious characters, and meet three who accompany them, Edwin, a boy ousted from his village, Wistan, a Saxon warrior, and Sir Gawain, an aged knight and cousin of King Arthur, who years before was supposed to slay Querig, a she-dragon whose breath is believed to be causing
the mist. Troubles arise as the little band makes its way, fording streams and climbing mountainous terrain. Wistan and Sir Gawain wish to slay the dragon, and though Axl and Beatrice know this will allow their memories to return, they also fear the past. “The Buried Giant� will be a book long talked about, a fantasy with staying power about life, love and immortality and whether our memories are a gift, a curse, or both.

God’s appointed times
Pastor Emory L. Johnson New Hope Lutheran Church
This past Tuesday was the last day in the 23-day period of the final three Appointed Times of the Lord as found in Leviticus 23: 23-44. In Leviticus 23 God gave us eight of His Appointed Times to remember. They are known as: 1. The weekly Sabbath; 2. Passover or Good Friday; 3. Unleavened Bread or Holy Week; 4. First Fruits or Easter; 5. Shavuot or Pentecost; 6. Rosh Hashanah or Trumpets; 7. Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement; and 8. Sukkot or Tabernacles. Each of these eight Appointed Times is significant in the Old Testament history of Israel and in the ministry of Jesus Christ. God wanted the Jews to remember them not only

for their historical significance but also because they are a prophetic picture of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The first four Appointed Times have already been fulfilled by Jesus and they are the center of our Christian Faith. However, in Christianity many think the last three Appointed Times are Jewish and therefore do not give them much thought. God gave all eight of these Appointed Times to the Jews but they are God’s Appointed Times. Jesus was sent to the Jews, but He is our Savior (Romans 1:16). The Bible and the 10 Commandments were given to the Jews but they are God’s Word for us to live by. The

FREDERIC SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
Holy Spirit was first given to the Jews on Pentecost, but the Holy Spirit was also given to live inside all of us who believe. Just as Jesus fulfilled the first four of God’s Appointed Times right on the very Day they were to be remembered, He will also fulfill the last three through His Second Coming at the end of the age. God wants us to always be ready for His Return. You can be ready by believing in Jesus and asking Him to be the Lord and Savior of your life. (John 3:16)

Survivor: Michele Briggs, Trade Lake Diagnosed: January 2015 TRADE LAKE—January 5, 2015 is a day Michele Briggs will never forget — it was the day her doctor told her that she had Stage 4 cancer —incurable but treatable. “My doctor said, ‘The cancer has metastisized — it is not just in your breast, it’s in your spine, your pelvis, there are a couple of spots on your lungs and a couple spots on your liver,’” Briggs explained She was in the doctor’s office to hear the results of a bone scan. “The doctor told me she thought she grabbed the wrong chart — she looked at the results and thought no way did those results match up with this patient,” Briggs continued. She was incredulous. “How can this be?” she remembered wondering. “I have no pain.” She was adamant in her denial. “I’ve had clear mammograms for eights years and now I’m looking at Stage 4 cancer — it scared the daylights out of me,” Briggs said. No doubt it was a turning point in her life. “I call that day my day from hell — we were at the clinic for more than 12 hours,” she stated. A CT scan ruled out that the cancer had spread to her lungs and her brain. “What a bad dream,” she said to herself when she woke up the next morning. But it wasn’t a dream — it was her new “normal.” “I call that day a curse as well as a blessing — if she hadn’t done the blood work which led to the bone scan, who knows what would have happened,” Briggs reasoned. An oncologist put her at ease. “Yes, it’s cancer but it’s treatable,” Briggs said the doctor told her. Fortunately for Briggs, the Food and Drug Administration had just approved a new medication for her type of cancer a month before she was diagnosed. She takes the med every day for three weeks and then takes a week off the drug — and so far, it seems to be working. “The latest scan showed the spots on my liver had

healed a lot, the mass in my breast shrunk quite a bit and the lesions on my spine and pelvis had healed over,” Briggs noted. “The goal is to get as much mileage out of a treatment as possible and when the cancer becomes resistant to that treatment, they have to tweak it somehow.” Her next scan is in November. Blood clots in the lungs, pulmonary embolisms in the legs, neuropathy and a lowered white blood cell count (compromises the immune system) are a few of the side effects of the drug.
What Is breast cancer? Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. To better understand breast cancer, it helps to understand how any cancer can develop. Cancer occurs as a result of mutations, or abnormal changes, in the genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy. The genes are in each cell’s nucleus, which acts as the “control room” of each cell. Normally, the cells in our bodies replace themselves through an orderly process of cell growth: healthy new cells take over as old ones die out. But over time, mutations can “turn on” certain genes and “turn off” others in a cell. That changed cell gains the ability to keep dividing without control or order, producing more cells just like it and forming a tumor. A tumor can be benign (not dangerous to health) or malignant (has the potential to be dangerous). Benign tumors are not considered cancerous: their cells are close to normal in appearance, they grow slowly, and they do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors are cancerous. Left unchecked, malignant cells eventually can spread beyond the original tumor to other parts of the body. The term “breast cancer” refers to a malignant tumor that has developed from cells in the breast. Usually breast cancer either begins in the cells of the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands, or the ducts, the passages that drain milk from the lobules to the nipple. Less commonly, breast cancer can
begin in the stromal tissues, which include the fatty and fibrous connective tissues of the breast. Over time, cancer cells can invade nearby healthy breast tissue and make their way into the underarm lymph nodes, small organs that fi lter out foreign substances in the body. If cancer cells get into the lymph nodes, they then have a pathway into other parts of the body. The breast cancer’s stage refers to how far the cancer cells have spread beyond the original tumor. Breast cancer is always caused by a genetic abnormality (a “mistake” in the genetic material). However, only 5-10% of cancers are due to an abnormality inherited from your mother or father. Instead, 85-90 percent of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and the “wear and tear” of life in general. There are steps every person can take to help the body stay as healthy as possible, such as eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, limiting alcohol, and exercising regularly (learn what you can do to manage breast cancer risk factors). While these may have some impact on your risk of getting breast cancer, they cannot eliminate the risk. Developing breast cancer is not your or anyone’s fault. Feeling guilty, or telling yourself that breast cancer happened because of something you or anyone else did, is not productive.
“I’ve had a little neuropathy (tingling in the fingers) and my white blood cell count has dropped a little but I’m still on the highest dose,” Briggs explained. “But I have my blood work done every month and the doctors keep a pretty close eye on it and would change my dose were my numbers to plummet.” Her cancer, a slow-growing cancer, is called metastatic, so she is deemed a lifer. “Through treatment, we ‘lifers’ are maintaining and trying to stay one step ahead of the beast,” Briggs pointed out. It was a routine doctor appointment last December which started the whole ball rolling. “During a routine exam, my doctor found a mass,” Briggs recalled. To say she was stunned would be an understatement. “I had been having yearly mammograms since I was 40 and it never showed up,” she added. “All the tests had been clear.” So an ultrasound and a mammogram were scheduled to determine what the mass was. In the meantime, the Briggs family tried to celebrate the holiday season. “It was a good distraction for me but I was so nervous and scared I couldn’t really enjoy it,” Briggs remarked. “The ultrasound ruled out the possibility of it being a cyst, so they scheduled a needle biopsy to identify what it was — and that appointment was right after New Years.” But the wait was killing her. “I wouldn’t wish the wait on my worst enemy,” she pointed out. But as it turns out, the wait was better than the answer Briggs got. “My doctor told me it was cancer — once you hear that word, everything else just kind of goes blank,” she said. After sharing the news with family members and shedding more than a few tears, it was on to battling SEE BRIGGS, PAGE 36

the cancer. “I met with the breast surgeon and originally we were looking at a lumpectomy with six weeks of radiation,” Briggs reported. “I said ‘Okay, I can handle this.’” They did some routine blood work that same day in preparation of the surgery and when she got home, the hospital had called. “Something was up with my blood work — one of my protein levels was off,” she described. “This protein is produced in the liver and in the bones so if something isn’t right, this level would be elevated.” That led to the bone scan which ended up determining the extent of her cancer. Her advice to other women is pretty common sense. “Get in there and have your mammograms,” Briggs said. “Don’t take anything for granted.” She admits family has been integral in Briggs’ battle. “We just had an influx of family that weekend I was diagnosed,” she recalled.”People brought food, gave support — I got a prayer necklace and every time I turned around I was on a new prayer chain.” She looks back on the past 11 months of her life from a new perspective. “It’s been a very humbling experience,” Briggs pointed out. “I’ve had so much love and support from people, it’s been amazing — some people never get to know how much they’re loved.” It has taught her to reassess how to look at life. “Not that I ever took a lot for granted — this experience has just taught me to be thankful for everyday,” she concluded.

Proper nutrition vital during cancer battle Healthy eating means eating a variety of foods that give you the nutrients you need to maintain your health, feel good, and have energy. These nutrients include protein, carbohydrates, fat, water, vitamins, and minerals. Nutrition is important for everyone. When combined with being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight, eating well is an excellent way to help your body stay strong and healthy. If you have a history of breast cancer or are currently undergoing treatment, eating well is especially important for you. What you eat can affect your immune system, your mood, and your energy level. No food or diet can prevent you from getting breast cancer. While researchers are still studying the effects of eating unhealthy food on breast cancer and recurrence risk, we do know that being overweight is a risk factor for both first-time and recurrent breast cancer. In this section, you can learn how to eat in a way that keeps your body as healthy as it can be.
Healthy eating during treatment If you’re recovering from surgery, receiving chemotherapy or radiation, or having other breast cancer treatment, your main focus is on getting rid of the cancer. Eating well will help you stay strong by giving your body the nutrients it needs.
You and your doctor can’t predict exactly how your treatment will affect you. Your general health and weight before your diagnosis play a role. So do the type, amount, and length of treatment you are receiving. As you move through your treatment, listen to your body and respond to what it needs. You may continue to enjoy cooking and eating and have a normal appetite. Or you might have days when you don’t feel like eating anything, days when you want to eat everything, and times when only some things taste good. It’s best to have a flexible, healthy eating plan to help you deal with your body’s changing needs and wants. A healthy diet — one with a variety of foods that includes lots of fruits and vegetables and regular protein — gives you the reserves of nutrients you need to keep your strength up while you’re being treated for breast cancer. These reserves also help rebuild your body’s tissues and keep your immune system strong to help fight off infection. Plus, a healthy diet can help you manage treatment side effects. There is evidence that some cancer treatments actually work better in people who are eating enough calories and protein. While you’re having breast cancer treatment, it’s more important than ever that you eat a healthy diet.
Healthy eating after treatment
Many people with breast cancer have long, healthy, and active lives after their treatment. Healthy eating during treatment and some physical activity are important. And healthy eating and physical activity AFTER treatment also are important as you recover from treatment and begin your life beyond breast cancer. While some research has been done on the ability of diet to reduce your risk of breast cancer, less has been done on the role of diet in reducing the risk of the cancer coming back. Still, the existing research suggests that lack of exercise and being overweight can increase the risk of breast cancer recurrence. A healthy diet and exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight and will give you more energy as you recover and improve your quality of life. Eating well will help your body rebuild muscle strength and overcome side effects such as anemia or fatigue. Don’t think that you have to dramatically change your diet in one day. When treatment is over, you’ll probably feel much better, but maybe not completely like you did before treatment. Your tastes may change, and you may find you don’t like some foods anymore. Take it slowly and ease yourself into healthy eating and cooking.
Why exercise? Regular exercise is an important part of being as healthy as you can be. More and more research is showing that exercise can reduce the risk of breast cancer coming back (recurrence) if you’ve been diagnosed, as well as reducing the risk of developing breast cancer if you’ve never been diagnosed. Breastcancer.org visitors know how important exercise is. According to a survey we did in October and November 2011, 70 percent of people who answered the survey exercised regularly and 23 percent exercised less often. But they were still exercising! A roundtable convened by the American College of Sports Medicine in 2010 reviewed available research and concluded that exercise is safe during and after all breast cancer treatments (as long as you take any needed precautions and keep the intensity low) and improves physical functioning, quality of life, and cancer-related fatigue. There also is evidence that exercise can help breast cancer survivors live longer and lead a more active life.
Why exercise? We’ve all heard it hundreds of times: exercise is good for us. The American Cancer Society recommends that women who’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer exercise regularly (about four hours per week) to improve their quality of life and reduce the risk of developing new cancers. A survey on exercise that Breastcancer.org conducted from October through November 2011 told us that nearly a quarter of the respondents exercise more than five hours per week and 15 percent exercise three hours a week. About 90 percent of the people who took the survey
had been diagnosed with breast cancer, so their commitment to exercise is outstanding. But what exactly is so good about exercise? There are several ways exercise can improve your life. You’ll lower your cancer risk. Regular exercise lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back, as well as reducing the risk of ever being diagnosed with breast cancer. Exercise also can lower your risk of cancers of the colon, lung, and uterus. You’ll be able to maintain a healthy weight. Regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight by building muscle and burning fat. Overweight and obese women — defined as having a BMI (body mass index) of over 25 — have a higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer compared to women who maintain a healthy weight, especially after menopause. Being overweight also can increase the risk of the breast cancer coming back (recurrence) in women who have had the disease. This higher risk is because fat cells make estrogen; extra fat cells mean more estrogen in the body and estrogen can make hormone-receptor-positive breast cancers develop and grow. You may have fewer and less severe side effects from treatment. But what exactly is so good about exercise? Here are the ways exercise can improve your life: You’ll lower your cancer risk, you’ll be able to maintain a healthy weight, you’ll live longer, you’ll have more energy, you’ll have better mobility, you’ll have more muscle and be stronger, you’ll keep your bones healthy, you’ll feel better about yourself, you’ll sleep better and you’ll be less stressed — any type of exercise can help melt away stress.
