Taking a stand against meth BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

STACY COY | SENTINEL

Time to celebrate!

HERTEL—The message is clear — people around here are tired of the drugs and the drug dealers. The evidence of that message is equally as clear. “This is the third search warrant we have executed within the past two months and we are getting positive results,” stated St. Croix Tribal Police Chief Frank Taylor. On October 13, the St. Croix Tribal Police Department, along with the Barron County Sheriff’s Department and the Cumberland Police Department executed a search warrant in the Maple Plain Community of Barron County. Taylor said the St. Croix Tribal Police Department was able to interview individuals who provided detailed information about drug activity in the Maple Plain Community. “Community members are stepping up and helping us identify the individuals selling and doing drugs in our communities,” the chief added. “Right now, our department is attempting to link the narcotic trail from Burnett County to these other communities in both Barron and Polk County.” He said the goal is not only to make tribal communities safer, but to send a messages that if anybody chooses to destroy their life and others by bringing heroin or meth or any type of drugs into these communities, the department will find you and arrest you. “If you chose to spend your life selling drugs to others, be careful about who your customer is because you never know what ties that buyer may have,” Tay-

School taxes drop in Webster BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—The official Third Friday count at Webster netted 10 fewer kids than last year — 666 compared to 676 but according to Jim Erickson, district superintendent, the school can use the declining enrollment exemption through the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) as a way to offset that loss. Consequently, when the school board certified the district’s levy at last week’s meeting the levy, $7,523,974, was down about $132,000. Erickson said the drop in enrollment and no increase in state aid are the two areas which can be blamed for the levy decrease but did note what the board approved SEE TAXES, PAGE 6

Why salute a veteran? BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

BURNETT COUNTY—The first Veterans Day, known as Armistice Day, was Nov. 11, 1919 — a day set aside to honor people who have served in the United States’ armed forces. Things haven’t changed all that much in the nearly 100 years since. “Too often we as a society don’t recognize what these people have done and if we didn’t have a day, how would today’s kids ever know about veterans — I go to the schools and there are some kids who don’t even know what a veteran is,” Peggy Moore, command-

er of the Burnett County VFW, pointed out. It doesn’t take long to realize a lot of the emphasis on celebrating the day is aimed at today’s youngsters. “I don’t think history teaches our kids very much about wars, the people who fought in them and the different places soldiers have gone to serve,” Moore explained. “I have yet to see a history book which talks about Vietnam yet we have this whole era of veterans that no one recognizes.” She doesn’t see this as a good thing. “The only way to teach history in a way the kids can relate to, at least from a veterans point of

view, is to have the veterans come in and tell their stories,” she continued. John Larson, the commander of the Otis Taylor American Legion Post 96 in Webster, is of a like mind. “Today’s youth are at a great disadvantage when it comes to understanding why the men and women who serve in today’s military are doing what they are doing,” he stated. “A large portion of our country speaks negatively about our military and schools have a hard time teaching and talking about the military in general.” SEE VETERANS, PAGE 7

The ‘Fitz’ sank 40 years ago BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—”...Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours...” The haunting lyrics of Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot are as poignant today as they were when “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” a ballad memorializing the sinking of the 729-foot ore carrier, went to number one on the pop charts in 1976. This week (Nov. 10) marks the 40th anniversary of the sinking and the cause of that sinking is just as open for debate today as it was in the weeks and months following November 10, 1975. In a brief recap of the tragedy, the Fitzgerald had loaded 26,000 tons of taconite pellets from the Burlington-Northern dock in Superior on November 9, hove to and proceeded to sail for Cleveland. A low pressure system from the southern United States had been churning toward the Great Lakes for two days and happened to cross the lake at the same time as the Fitzgerald. It was a monster of a storm. On November 10, crewmen from the S. S. Arthur M. Anderson, which was trailing the Fitzgerald, reported sustained winds over 60 m.p.h. with gusts over 90 m.p.h. and seas as big as 30-feet. A little after 3 p.m., the Fitzgerald’s Captain Ernest McSorley told the Anderson that he had sustained some topside damage, including two vents lost or damaged. He also reported his ship had developed a list. By 4 p.m., the Fitzgerald had lost both its radars and radioed the Anderson to ask her to provide radar plots to help guide the carrier into the lee (shelter) of Whitefish Bay. A little past 7 p.m., a mate from the Anderson radioed the Fitzgerald to warn

her of an approaching ship, but also asked how the stricken carrier was doing with its problems. Captain McSorley answered that the Fitzgerald was “holding its own.” Those were the last words anyone heard from the ship. Whatever happened, it happened so unexpectedly and so quickly, the crew didn’t have a chance to send any sort of distress signal. Three ships waiting out the storm in Whitefish Bay never saw the ore-carrier make the bay, the ship had disappeared from the Anderson’s radar scope, and no one was able to raise the Fitzgerald via radio. By 10 p.m., word was being broadcast that the ship was missing. A search over the area lasted three days and only an oil slick and pieces of the ore-carrier were discovered. No survivors were found. Three side-scan sonar surveys were conducted within six months to pinpoint the wreckage followed by a visual inspection using the U.S. Navy’s Controlled Underwater Recovery Vehicle. The wreckage of the Edmund Fitzgerald lies in 530-feet of water in eastern Lake Superior, approximately 17 miles northwest of Whitefish Point, Michigan. The CURV inspection lasted nine days in which the team made 12 dives, took 43,255-feet of video tape and 895 color photographs. Convening in Cleveland eight days after the sinking, the Marine Board of Investigation heard from 45 witnesses, who had either sailed on the Fitzgerald previously, were sailing on the lake the night of the sinking, or had other expertise to share. In addition, 361 exhibits were entered into evidence and over 3,000 pages of testimony were transcribed into the record.

POWDERANDBLADE

Divers reach the wreck.

Twenty months later, on July 26, 1977, the board released its formal report. “The most probable cause of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald was the loss of buoyancy and stability which resulted from massive flooding of the cargo hold,” was the board’s finding. “The flooding of the cargo hold took place through ineffective hatch closures as boarding seas rolled along the spar deck (flat section of ore-carrier where cargo is loaded). The flooding, which began early on November 10, progressed during the worsening weather and sea conditions and finally resulted in such a loss of buoyancy and stability that the vessel plunged in heavy seas,” the finding concluded. The National Transportation Safety Board also conducted an investigation. In 1978, the NTSB report stated “the probable cause for this accident was the sudden, massive flooding of the cargo hold due to the collapse of one or more hatch covers.” Because both reports seemingly disregarded key factors to the sinking, it left the door open to skepticism, and every year on the anniversary of the wreck, theories as to the actual cause of the sinking abound.

To that end, hundreds of articles, a DVD, and no fewer than 10 books have been written about the wreck, each trying to recreate the time line of events that led to the loss of the freighter. To varying extents, the authors pose theories as to what happened. Most discount the hatch cover theory both the Coast Guard and the NTSB blame for the wreck. The three-sisters wave phenomenon is posed as a possible cause. The theory suggests that three monster waves hit the ship one after another, not allowing the Fitzgerald to recover from taking on all the water on its spar deck from the first wave before the second one struck, and so on, and the ship sunk as a result. The theory that makes the most sense is that the ship shoaled, or hit bottom, and that is what caused the flooding and the list. Several pieces of information support this theory, especially the fact that the Fitzgerald lost her radars about the time she was near the Six Fathom Shoal area north of Caribou Island, that the Fitzgerald developed a list about the time she passed Six Fathom Shoals, and the certainty of the captain of the Anderson saying he thought the Fitz did in fact sail over the shoal area. Robert J. Hemming’s “Gales of November,” is one of the more thoroughly researched books available. Not to spoil the book, he takes all the information available and, in three chapters toward the end of the book, cobbles together what he thinks is the most probable course of events leading to the sinking of the freighter. Hemming does admit in the author’s note that his is a fictionalized answer to the question of why the Fitzgerald sank. With all 29 crew members being lost with the ship, it is doubtful anyone will ever know what really happened.

The return of the white stuff This time of year I’m always reminded of an old golf joke but I adapt it accordingly to fit the season. “You know why they call it snow? All the other four-letter words were taken.” Obviously, I’m not a big fan of snow and while I’m never fully ready for half a year of the white stuff, it seems to have started early this season. It began last Wednesday when I was getting gas at Connor’s in Webster. “You know, they are calling for a wintery mix tonight,” Paula tells me as I’m paying for my gas and a bag of cashews. Sure enough, I’m headed to bed and the staircase window, which looks out over the porch roof and the back yard, gives me a front row picture to a covering of snow. Good thing I mowed on Tuesday and chopped some leaves — but that said, this early white stuff really caught me off-guard. First, I wasn’t expecting it — after all, when are the weathermen ever right? Second, I haven’t made the time to stow the porch furniture plus I still haven’t put up plastic. Third, the oil in the mower Seems has yet to be changed — I made a to Me mental note of that a month ago Todd Beckmann but my mental calendar isn’t always too reliable. Fourth— well, I could go on and on and on, but I think you get the picture. Of course, we all had a reprieve Thursday morning when we woke to slightly warmer temperatures and no snow on the ground. Actually, I think Wednesday night was just a warning. Kind of like at the theater when they flash the house lights to let the audience know intermission is almost over and the second half will soon be beginning. Of course, the audience is eager for plays to resume so they can see how the story ends. That’s not necessarily the case with winter although there are a few exceptions. I’m sure deer hunters would love some powder in advance of the 9-day gun season to help in tracking their prey, just as I am sure there are snowmobilers just chomping at the bit to get enough of a base to ride their machines. And business owners, most of whom live and die by the tourist trade, are looking for a long, snowy winter. For all the good a decent winter of snow does, from rebounding area lake levels to keeping maand-pa businesses in the black , I guess I can handle it — except for one thing. Wouldn’t it be nice if the snow that fell never touched the roads? How great would it be to travel all winter and never have to worry about the drive to work? The drive to the grocery store? Or wherever else your vehicle takes you ? Well, excuse me for now — I have to go tune-up my shovels.

Bringing back Watney I make no bones about the fact that I am a fan of science fiction and space exploration. I watched the moon landings as a child, and firmly believed that one day I would live on the moon. Sadly, none of that has come to pass. After successfully landing and returning seven missions on the moon, the Apollo program was scrapped. Even the mission that didn’t make it, Apollo From the 13, was a success Publisher’s because it showed the ingenuity and Desk tenacity of the astronauts and engiTom Stangl neers who found a way to bring the crew home alive. President Nixon, faced with a choice between pushing on to Mars or approving a reusable spacecraft that would be used to assemble a space station, went with the less expensive option, the space shuttle. President George W. Bush proposed a return to the moon with the Orion program, using the moon for launches deeper into the solar system. President Obama nixed the Orion program, which was plagued

with cost overruns and delays, and chose to focus to privatizing launches to the International Space Station and building better boosters to reach the asteroid belt and eventually Mars. Wernher von Braun, the former Nazi rocket genius who helped NASA get men in space and eventually to the moon, was an advocate of advancing on to Mars in the 1980s. I bring up all of this history because I recently read the novel, “The Martian” by Andy Weir. Some of you may have seen the movie that is currently playing in theaters starring Matt Damon. I hope to see it soon, but like to read the novels before seeing the movies. It’s my thing. The novel details astronaut Mark Watney’s struggle to survive on the red planet. When a large and powerful dust storm threatens to destroy the crew’s habitat and their return vehicle, the mission is scrubbed and the crew evacuates. During the slog to the spacecraft, Watney is hit by a piece of equipment that breaks loose and blown away. His spacesuit shows no life signs and the mission commander makes a gut wrenching decision to leave without recovering his body because she has no other choice. But Watney isn’t dead. Using his engineering skills, a great deal of duct tape and impro-

vised solutions, he finds a way to survive and eventually communicate with NASA. Plans are formulated to get more supplies to Watney so he can survive until the next mission arrives. Being a novel, there are plenty of complications that arise. Watney is a resourceful person, finding a way to get things done with the items he has on hand. But it seems the odds are stacked against him. As I read the novel, I couldn’t help but think of Apollo 13 and actor Ed Harris’ portrayal of Mission Director Gene Kranz. Kranz calmly and effectively navigated through the chaos and found a way to get the crew of Apollo 13 home. I hope “The Martian” helps us as a nation find a way to get our mojo back for manned space exploration. Brilliant people have solved what seemed to be insurmountable odds to do the impossible. We need to aspire to greatness again, even if it means working with the Chinese (something that is done in the novel). As always, I welcome your comments.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Freedom of choice, even in little matters Dear Editor: I want to speak out regarding the act of the Webster Police Department performing seat belt inspection at the schools. This was brought on by a grant provided to the local government in the name of safety. In my opinion, this is borderline entrapment. Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines entrapment as “the action of luring an individual into committing a crime in order to prosecute the person for it.” Parents are required by law to bring our kids to school. What a better place to funnel people into and check for law violations and issue fines. I understand that seat belts are required by law in the name of safety. I understand that they make riding in a car or truck safer. However, I also believe in the freedom of choice in America as granted by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. Quote: 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property; without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. I believe that all personal protection laws are in violation of this right. If a person wears safety gear at work, it is a choice or company policy and should never be law. Nor should personal protection in one’s home. Seat belts are no different. They only grant me safety to me and my family alone. This in no way effects others outside of myself or kids. This is not a case of drug abuse or impaired judgment which could endanger other citizens on the road. I want a choice in life as provided in the constitution, not more government rules, regulations or restrictions. I would ask that the Local, State and

Federal Government re-examine personal protection laws and abolish them, giving back the freedom of the people to make their own choices. Cameron Smith Webster

Keeping the airport in the black Dear Editor: I wrote this letter on ways we at the Grantsburg Airport can generate more revenue for the airport. Here is a brief explanation of the current revenue. This is from the airport expense sheet from 2007 to current. The field has been pretty much revenue neutral, operating in the black, sometimes a little in the red. We need to make the airport as self sufficient as possible to keep it out of the red and to generate a surplus for future needs. That’s why we are looking to start up a pilots or airport association. All members would pay an annual due, pilots dues would be higher. Part of the funds would go for the mowing on the field, covering the cost of the gas, oil, maintenance of the mower; labor would be volunteered. Other parts of the funding would go to sponsoring events to generate more funding —fly ins, pancake breakfasts, etc. We would form this association under a 501c nonprofit status. This is the private sector side. Government side (Village Board). They’re responsible for the many hanger leases on the field. This is an explanation of how it works on the field as the hangers go. As pilots, we build our hangers (our expense), we own the structure, we pay personal property tax on the structure, but we lease the ground the hanger sits on and we pay the lease fee to the village. That lease fee goes back into the operation of the field. That is why we need more hangers built. The lease is set on a ten year term. The lease itself has one problem that is the reason we can not attract more pilots to build more hangers on the field — more hangers would increase the government side of the revenue. The problem is Item

No. 5, the closure clause. That clause basically is the demon that haunts the airport. That clause is why the field has not grown, why it stays stagnant. Here is clause # 5 wording “Closure. If for any reason the Grantsburg Municipal Airport is closed, this contract is considered null and void.” I got a copy of the Burnett County Airport lease and talked to Osceola Airport manager on their lease and neither have a closure clause! I got on the village agenda for November 9 at 5:15 to try to get the #5 closure clause removed so the lease can run its full term of 10 years. That would start the certainty of remaining open, attracting more pilots to hanger here thus increasing the revenue stream on both private sector and government side. In conclusion, we all work hard at our jobs, at times our jobs can be very stressful. We all need some form of recreation, like golfing, boating, flying, as a form to relieve that stress. We can make this airport more self sufficient if the board works with us. Thank you, let’s go flying. Tim Thompson Town of St. Croix Falls

Support for Carly Fiorina Dear Editor: My support for Carly Fiorina is personal. OK, it’s political too. It’s impossible to step beyond politics and their staff in a presidential campaign. But Carly is the kind of candidate I trust on a personal level. It’s been that way since I bought my first PC computer from her when she was CEO of Hewlett-Packard. Like Carly, I’m sick and tired of a privileged political class running Washington. Our government was never intended to be run by “professional politicians,” but rather by common and capable people willing to serve. Carly is working hard to change the rigged game in Washington. You’ve seen her trying to change things in the debates. She wants fair play for all of us. I’m impressed with her not just because she is a courageous cancer survivor or jealous of her because she can speak fluent Italian. I’m impressed with

her because she is a Godly woman of real conviction. And what she says, I believe she will do. Take a good look at Carly Fiorina for President. I know you too will be impressed with her. Go to www.carlyforpresident.com or give me a call. Wayne Anderson Frederic

Correcting misunderstandings

Dear Editor: I would like to address claims made in a letter to the editor in this paper on October 21. This letter stated that I introduced a bill “designed to fine landowners who ask trespassing hunters to leave their land.” This is 100 percent false. Recently, I introduced a bill called the ‘Right to Hunt Act’ (Assembly Bill 433). I encourage everyone to read AB 433 and you will find that it does nothing of the sort. This bill enhances the existing hunter harassment law and provides penalties for people who harass legal hunters. There is a group of people that set out into the woods with the sole purpose of harassing hunters, mainly bear hunters. According to law enforcement and DNR, the current hunter harassment law is difficult to enforce. AB 433 better defines hunter harassment making it easier for law enforcement to take action against extremists trying to interfere with legal hunting in Wisconsin. Trespassing is illegal and will remain illegal if AB 433 passes. This bill will have no impact one way or the other on the ability of a landowner to kick a trespasser off his/her land, report said trespasser, or otherwise attempt to stop illegal trespassing. As a property rights advocate, I would never introduce or support a bill that interfered with property owners’ rights to keep trespassers off their land. Readers, please feel free to reach out to my office at any time if this is still unclear. Rep. Adam Jarchow 28th Assembly District

It’s working! I hope you’re all not tired of hearing the phrase “It’s Working” because luckily for the State of Wisconsin, it is completely true. Being a state legislator has its ups and downs, but one of the greatest things about holding this office is being able to see how our reforms, and prior reforms, are… working! The State of Wisconsin is doing great things and thankfully NOT taking a page out of Washington D.C.’s playbook. We know here in Wisconsin that we can’t spend more than we take in and that getting our residents back to work is the fastest way to grow our economy. “It’s Working” may sound like an old campaign slogan, but there is no better way to describe what is going on in this state. Right here at home, there is no better evidence of this than in the growing number of pages of “Help Wanted” ads in the local papers. The national unem-

ployment average as of September, 2015 was at 5.1 percent, whereas according to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), Wisconsin’s unemployment rate was down to 4.3 percent. This is a full one percent lower than the unemployment rate in September, 2014 and the lowest it has been since April, 2001. In the first 10 months of 2015, unemployment insurance (UI) claims have dropped to their lowest number of claims since George H.W. Bush was in the White House (1990). Less folks collecting UI means more of them are back to work and contributing to the economy. That is what it takes to get our state to the best possible place it could be. New small businesses are even more important. Each new small business is looking for the right environment to begin its venture and grow. When small businesses grow, they hire people and

the country. Wisconsin moved up two spots from the same survey one year prior and moved up 29 spots from the same survey 15 years ago in 2000. In addition, the State’s finances are in great shape. As a result of prudent financial decisions we have made, the State’s budget is balanced, long-term borrowing is at the lowest level since the late 1980’s, and we recently learned that the State took in $135 million more in the last budget cycle than had been projected. To help middle-class families, we have frozen tuition once again this year. Property taxes are lower today than they were five years ago. That’s not to say we don’t have challenges, because we do. But compared to where we were as a state just a few short years ago, I think we can all be very proud of where we are today.

TAXES: Levy rate for Webster Schools falls about $40 for $100,000 property CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

at its annual meeting in September was very close to the final numbers. “We are dog-paddling a bit to keep our heads above water,” Erickson said of the decrease. On the other side of the coin, Erickson did say the mill rate would be dropping. “The good news for the taxpayers is that the rate will fall from last year’s $6.42 to $5.98,” he pointed out. That means school taxes for a taxpayer owning $100,000 in property in the district will be $598 compared to $642 for 2014-15.

Leap Day/school visits The board heard a recap of Leap Day from Breena Kroll, high school guidance counselor. Leap Day was the ‘unofficial’ first day of school when the schools Link group — a handful of upper classmen, who spent the day with freshmen going through team-building exercises, basi-

cally trying to help them adjust to life in high school. Kroll said there are a handful of freshmen each Link member mentors throughout the year. “We looked at grades and found only three freshmen were failing any course,” Erickson explained. “So it’s something we see as a positive and we will be continuing it.” Kroll also talked about campus visits. “There have been visits to UW-Eau Claire, UW-Barron County and WITCRice Lake — the kids take part in activities, visit classrooms, eat in the commons, the whole package,” Erickson reported. “At the end of the day, we hope for a reflection from each kid — a ‘do you see yourself here?’ kind of thing.” He said the object is to whittle down the choices so when that senior walks across the stage next June, they are that much closer to deciding ‘What’s next?’ “We couldn’t do this before when we only had one principal and one counselor in the 5-12 building,” Erickson contin-

ued. “But now that we have two of each, we decided to tackle the challenge — we are making the time.” In other business: • The board contracted with Structural Buildings to construct a new garage at the 5-12 building to house school vehicles as well as some extra storage space. The original intent had been for the new garage to house school buses but making the garage big enough to handle the buses would interfere with the house the Tiger Construction class is building. “Building the size of garage that could handle buses would make moving the house more interesting than we’d like to make it,” Erickson noted. • In closed session, the board voted to increase the wages it pays the district’s substitute support staff, from $9.50/ hour to $11/hour for instructional aides, cooks or secretaries and $10.50/hour to $12/hour for substitute custodians. The board hired John Mulroy as girls JV basketball coach, Chad Carlson as

volunteer boys basketball coach and Chuck Isaacson as the night custodian at the elementary school. The board also created a middle school forensics team and tentatively approved a drivers education contract. • The board approved coach Stef Janssen taking her eight varsity volleyball players to the state tournament in Green Bay. • Due to the fact school is not in session the fourth week of November, the board decided to have its next monthly meeting on Monday, Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. in the IMC at the 5-12 building. • The meeting began when Eagle Scout Kerik Stubbe, ninth grade, thanked the board for their encouragement of his project to build a gaga pit outside the 5-12 building. “It’s quite the popular activity,” Erickson commented. “Some board members asked if we had figured out a way to shovel out the pit so kids can play in the winter.”

lor pointed out. The two people arrested earlier in October were Lamont Belisle-Douglas, 18 and Michael Eagleman, 23, both from Cumberland, for assault charges stemming from a previous incident. “Sheriff Fitzgerald from Barron County and Cumberland Police Chief Rick Reiper were instrumental in sending officers to assist us,” Taylor exclaimed. “I called Sheriff Fitzgerald earlier in the day and told him what was being planned and before I could ask for assistance, he said how many deputies you need?” Taylor said he hopes other police departments will see the impact the tribal police department is making and want to make their communities a little safer as well. “Our tribal communities are not the only ones experiencing drug issues,” he clarified. “I can tell you that the information we receive has led us to other villages and towns not only here in Burnett County, but to other communities as well.” Without jeopardizing their cases, Taylor said the department shares its information and looks for assistance from others when needed. “That’s the way it needs to work — because there isn’t one town around here where drugs haven’t affected someone,” he opined. “We need to have that continued support from our District Attorney and County Judge to show our communities that they too stand behind law enforcement and recognize that the drugs are ruining families and that the tolerance level has been reached.”

St. Croix Tribal PD has been busy serving warrants.

The latest crackdown on drugs began earlier this year when the Tribal Police Department along with the Department of Criminal Investigations, hosted two community meetings to address the drug issues that have infested not only tribal communities, but the counties around Burnett. “We discussed the effects of methamphetamines and how dangerous it is,” Taylor noted. “We also talked about heroin and other growing trends we are seeing today — this discussion led to information being obtained by the police department from community members and proactive policing, which in turn, led to the search warrants.”

It’s an on-going battle. “We will continue to follow leads and investigate all pertinent information received and will continue to take this proactive stand against the drug dealers and users that have destroyed families and lives,” Taylor declared. “We will continue to work with the District Attorney’s office to make sure our cases are solid after arrests are made.” Two search warrants which were executed earlier this fall in the Gaslyn Community and in the Sand Lake community, both located in Burnett County, led to arrests.

VETERANS: Respecting those who have served CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The VFW has what it calls a Relief Fund for veterans in need. “We helped a young man in Webster put a roof on his house, we helped someone get an electric wheelchair, we’ve helped people pay bills, and we’ve provided gas cards for veterans to get to medical appointments,” Moore noted. It amounts to a couple of thousand dollars a year. The fund is created through the sale of poppies or people can make donations specifically for the relief fund. The American Legion offers similar services. “Our post has set the goal of assisting any veteran or veteran’s family whenever the time of need arises,” Larson pointed out. “If requested by the family, we supply an honor guard service for any veteran who passes — whether that veteran is a member or not.” He said the post’s current membership stands at 61. “The goal of our post each year is to re-sign 100 percent of our members plus add one new member,” Larson explained. “This is a daunting task as many of our members are WWII and Korean War Vets who are living on a restricted budget — but all come back each year.” He said the Otis Taylor Post has a member who has been with the post for 69 years. There are currently 55 members in the VFW throughout the county. “It’s sad — I have people who would like to join but aren’t eligible,” Moore stated. “But the big-

gest obstacle is that we just can’t get the younger people to join.” She just doesn’t know how best to appeal to them. “We’ve started donating to schools in the hopes we can appeal to the younger veterans that way,” she explained. “We are hoping the kids will go home and tell their folks the VFW did this for us today at school.” But the VFW donates in other ways too. “I think I do need to be more vocal about what we do because, unless you’re one of us, you don’t know what we do,” she realized. “We give money to the schools, Interfaith Caregivers, those kind of places.” To help potential members understand what the VFW does, Moore offered an open invite to a meeting. “You don’t have to join to come

to the first meeting,” she reported. “If you do end up joining, the VFW covers your dues for you for the first year so you can see if you like it before it costs you anything.” The VFW meets at 7:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of every month at the VFW Hall on Main Street in Siren. “You have to have served in a time of conflict in an area of conflict,” Moore said of the sole requirement. “That’s where a lot of our membership problems come from — we have a lot of people out there, we just don’t know how to get them to us.” Likewise for Larson. “Post meets at 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at the community center in Webster,” he offered. “Any veteran can attend a meeting. From time to time, we do have veteran related special guests on the agenda.” To better understand why the nation celebrates Veterans Day as well as helping to spread patriotism, Moore offered a simple suggestion. “Talk with a veteran, any veteran from any era, and you will get a better idea,” she said. Larson agreed. “Have a relaxed, one-on-one, sit down with one of our veterans, especially one who has served in combat and is willing to tell their story,” he concluded. “This will give you, not only the harsh reality of war, but it will introduce you to an individual who believes in defending our freedom with their lives and is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for this country.”

Help for vets available WEBSTER—For the third year, Crystal Meier, manager of the Connections and More Store in Webster, is the local case manager of the Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) program. The SSVF is a grant-funded program designed to provide temporary financial assistance for those with no other resources to rapidly secure housing. The grant is from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). “We are using case management to help these veterans get on their feet,” Meier pointed out. Case management could include referrals for job training or employment, assistance in applying

for income support and assistance in applying for VA programs and services. Assistance could include rent assistance, security deposits, application fees and other housing-related expenses. “The goal of the SSVF program is to promote housing stability among very low-income veteran families who reside in or are transitioning to permanent housing,” Mary Schmocker, program coordinator, explained. “Our on-going goal is to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2016.” To date, the program has helped five veterans in Burnett County, 15 total clients have been served

in the county and 65 families have been served through the grant in the 10-county area of northwestern Wisconsin. Veterans who may be eligible include those who ever served active duty and have anything other than a dishonorable discharge, are low-income — less than 50 percent of the area median income and are homeless (per HUD definition) or are at imminent risk of becoming homeless. Meier said those who may qualify can contact her at Connections (715-866-8151) to check their status. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel.

Man safe after Silver Alert issued GRANTSBURG—An elderly, vulnerable adult is home safe after the Grantsburg Police Department had to issue its first-ever Silver Alert last Thursday. “A North Branch, Minn. man, Gerald Van Reese, drove to Grantsburg to visit friends,” Jeff Schinzing, police chief, explained. “He was due back in North Branch by 4 p.m. but he never made it.” The man’s caretaker called the GPD to report the no-show. Knowing the man’s vehicle, including the license plate number, plus a

description of the man, officer Joel Klatt, who was on duty at the time, realized the situation fit the parameters of a Silver Alert, and issued the alert. Schinzing said the situation qualified for a Silver Alert because Van Reese is an older gentleman who has dementia issues and other cognitive issues as well. “Like an ‘Amber Alert,’ a Silver Alert puts out all the known information about the individual to all law enforcement jurisdictions in the state,” Schinzing pointed out.

“He wasn’t even suppose to drive this far.” Before the department had a chance to field any calls regarding Van Reese’s whereabouts, his caretaker called again around midnight to inform GPD the man had made it home. “He couldn’t explain to his caretaker where he had been,” the chief noted. “He’s lucky he made it home.” By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel.

A group of volunteers from the surrounding area have also signed up to go to the processing center in Minneapolis on December 3 to help with the final stages of packing before sending them overseas. In September, an Operation Christmas Child Kickoff event with was held at Siren Covenant Church to help churches and organizations get started with their packing boxes from their own churches and get information regarding this year’s collection. Barb Hunter presented her personal ministry with Operation Christmas Child by having a “store” of items she provides at New Hope Lutheran Church in Grantsburg and explaining how she assists people at packing parties to select items for their own box. Deb Hammer presented her experiences at being present at a distribution site in Rwanda and the blessing she received as she saw children receiving the gifts and their responses. Last year over 1,600 boxes were collected from the two local sites and each year more organizations and churches become involved to add to the numbers. With prayers and God’s blessing and protection over these gifts, more children than ever will have access to the gospel and be able to respond to the love of Jesus for them and their families. For more information in packing and sending boxes regarding the Operation Christmas Child project, or how you can volunteer, go www.samaritanpurse.org/ occ During National Collection Week, Nov. 16-23, two local drop-off sites will be open to collect boxes.

He said there was also a good acorn crop this fall which is a preferred food of bears at this time of year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With that said, we have had problems with bear into November, but it is unlikely,â&#x20AC;?

and construction,” she said. “And I’m working with agencies and institutions in the surrounding communities to spur interest in our program. In addition to LCO College, Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College, U of M Extension, Wisconsin Workforce Development, the Northwest Wisconsin Workforce Investment Board and Burnett County are joining forces with the tribe to develop the program and support the AmeriCorps members. And, of course, the biggest supporter of our program is and will continue to be the St. Croix tribe. Thank you to them for all they have done and will do in the future to make this program succeed.” Tribal Chairman Lewis Taylor accepted the AmeriCorps grant certificate from Hindsley. Hindsley explained that the St. Croix tribe is one of only 19 tribes nationwide to receive a grant from AmeriCorps. “That’s significant when you consider that there are 500 tribes in the country,” she added. Tribal Chairman Lewis Taylor remarked that Native Americans have come a long way in their quest for equality. “We are grateful for this grant,” Chairman Taylor said. “It will help us prepare our young people for jobs in skilled trades, jobs that will lift some of them from the ranks of the unemployed or under-employed.”

It’s also a wonderful opportunity for our tribal members,” Hindsley said. AmeriCorps Program Consultant Judy Cutler introduced other team members, Reuben Buck and Francis Songetay. “Reuben will help teach our AmeriCorps recruits skills through rehabbing houses, and Francis has extensive training and experience as a machinist and will consult in that field,” she said. Cutler also introduced a number of tribal support people including Mark Soulier of the Youth Program, Education Director Karen Washington and LCOOCC St. Croix Site Coordinator Kate Lechnir and her assistant Janine McNulty. “Mark is instrumental in developing the process to engage young people,” Cutler said. “Thank you to Karen Washington for identifying the potential in our young people and working with them to fulfill their potential.” Cutler added that she wants to work with LCO College to gain support for vocational programs to assist the unemployed and under-employed to train for jobs. “I also want to get young people excited about learning math as it relates to carpentry, electricity

HERTEL—Thanks to a grant from AmeriCorps, ten young people ages 16 to 24 will have an opportunity to learn skilled trades starting in 2016. The new partnership between the St. Croix tribe and AmeriCorps was unveiled at a special presentation and feast on October 20. Present at the event were three tribal council members, Program Coordinator Hazel Hindsley, several AmeriCorp team members from the St. Croix tribe, Program Consultant Judy Cutler, invited guests from the surrounding communities and interested tribal members. Program Coordinator Hazel Hindsley announced that the AmeriCorps grant had been awarded to the tribe in July 2015. She explained how the program will benefit the tribe. “The tribe will recruit ten new Native AmeriCorps members between 16 and 24 years of age for the ‘St. Croix AmeriCorps Skill Seekers Program,’” she said. “Each member will commit to one year of volunteer service to gain beginner level skills in carpentry, plumbing, heating, masonry or other construction area skills as they volunteer to renovate homes for St. Croix seniors, veterans or others with physical challenges. They will also construct a ‘tiny home’ as a model for future economic development for the tribe.” She added that each member can join AmeriCorps for up to three years

In 1992, Brian was challenged by his pastor to become a preacher which lead him to taking online classes from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and attending additional seminars and classes to give him the education he needed to accept this challenge. Brian and Marcy have always worked as a team which goes back to the time when they attended Horst Institute and began their first five years together as beauticians. In 1985 they were married and lived in Columbia Heights, Minn. where Brian then spent 22 years in the printing business and later came to Webster to work with the family landscaping business — where he has been for the last 15 years and Marcy has worked at the Oakland Beauty Shop. The couple have two grown children and one grandchild. Recently, they moved to a new home in Danbury on the Yellow River Flowage.

GRANTSBURG—Dr. Edna Johnson, PhD, RNC, has been a nurse for over 50 years, nearly half of that time working as a community health nurse. She earned a Josephine A. Dolan Distinguished Service Award September 26. Johnson graduated from Grantsburg High School in 1955. Upon earning a Bachelor of Science in Public Health (University of Minnesota), her first position at Frontier Nursing Service entailed running clinics and providing primary health care to a population of 500 families in the Appalachian Mountains. During the Viet Nam War, Dr. Johnson worked for the United States Agency for International Development and developed a health care program for the orphanages and day care centers in South Viet Nam. Later she functioned as a leader for a group of nurses providing care to inner city, Topeka, Kansas. Johnson joined the UConn School of Nursing in 1974 and was a valued member of the faculty until her retirement in 2002. During her tenure, she taught public health to countless students, managed the Wellness Center ( a clinic for older adults), served as the track coordi-

nator for advanced nursing practice in gerontology, and continued her public health practice through consultancies and the community work. After retiring from UConn, Johnson volunteered as a nursing missionary to Liberia for 10 years. Later, upon the request of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Johnson successfully planned and coordinated the Master in Nursing Education Program for nursing faculty, helping to reopen the Schools of Nursing and Midwifery in Liberia.

Crex a hot spot for fall migration

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

Hunter and Dusty are two-month-old brothers. These are two out of four kittens from the litter that was abandoned and found in a suitcase in August. They were only about a week old at the time, and their mother is Cattleya (who was featured in a prior article and still available for adoption). All four kittens, along with Mommy, were immediately fostered by one of our staff. With a lot of TLC, they thrived and are now Hunter available for adoption. You can adopt them individually or as a dynamic duo. The more you adopt, the better deal you’ll get! They are cute as can be and very entertaining, to say the least. These unwanted kittens could have had a tragic ending, had they not been discovered JJoy when they were. Luckily, they will never know what happened to them, unless they read this article. We have high hopes that they will all soon find loving homes, whether separately or all together. When it rains, it pours! We have had quite a few Siamese cats/kittens lately. I personally brought three in from a farm I had been working with (named after the Hunger Game characters). We had the senior cat named Luna, and the young adult that I rescued named Katsu. I’m happy to report that they ALL have been adopted. Currently, we have tiny little Joy, the Siamese mix kitten. Joy was a little under-the-weather when she first arrived at our shelter. She is all alone in her cage and really LONGS for attention. Staff and volunteers cannot refuse her cuteness. If you are a Siamese lover, and if you prefer kittens, Joy’s your girl! If you are interested in adopting Hunter, Dusty, Cattleya, Joy, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty. org or contact the shelter at 715-866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

BY ALLEN PEEK SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—We live in what is known as the Upper Mississippi Flyway. It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of all North American migratory birds use this flyway, and we are near the top of it in the U.S. From ducks, geese and shorebirds to swans, songbirds, loons and cranes, we are fortunate enough to have this incredible phenomenon occur right over our heads each fall. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; “During peak migration hundreds of thousands of Canvasbacks, Common Mergansers, Goldeneyes, Mallards, Shovelers, Blue-winged Teals and Coots gather on the refuge. The Upper Mississippi Wildlife Refuge is in four states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois and encompasses one of the largest blocks of floodplain habitats in the Lower 48 states. It covers just over 240,000 acres and extends 261 river miles from north to south. Closer to home, is Crex Meadows Wildlife Area and Refuge, and Fish Lake Wildlife Area. According to Steve Hoffman, the Wildlife Property Supervisor at Crex, “People are in awe of the migration of the Sandhill’s here. They talk about the migration to the Platte River (in Nebraska), they have more birds there than we do here, but last year the numbers were around 20,000 at peak and that just continues to build. The number of birds staging here in Refuge and Fish Lake Wildlife Refuge, and the area known as the Glacial Lake Grantsburg area is incredible.” Ethnologist Jane Goodall, famous for her work in Africa with primates, regards the Crane migration as one of the top ten animal migration spectacles in the world. Hoffman says, “People are just overwhelmed here. To go sit there at night and have 10,000 birds come flying over your head and land out there in that marsh with all the

noise going on, or you sit there in the morning in the dark and they’re starting to talk before they fly out, it’s a pretty incredible sight.” Birds have different destinations according to species. “The shorebirds come through here in August. They’ve already nested in the Arctic, and then they’re making their way down to South America.” says Hoffman. “The other things you see are swallows on the wires, another sign that fall is coming, and those birds know it.” About our geese and ducks Hoffman says, “More and more they don’t go any farther south than they have to. They chase that snow line and frost line down. A lot of them end up in southern Illinois, the boot heel of Missouri, and Tennessee.” Of course again it depends on the species. “The Blue Winged Teal will end up down in the Caribbean. They’ll end up in Central America or South America. They’ll go farther. Our Mallards and Wood Ducks will end up in southern Illinois, Arkansas, Southern Tennessee, and Mississippi, Louisiana, all the way down to the Gulf Coast.” According to Hoffman, “This population of Greater Sandhill Cranes migrates through here then

down to Indiana and then to Louisiana, Georgia and Florida. The population estimate is about 90,000 birds. The number of Lesser Sandhill Cranes that migrate down to the Platte is probably 400 to 500,000 birds. They stage in Nebraska and migrate down to Texas and winter in south Texas along the Gulf Coast.” Fall migration is a big event in our area. It draws hunters, bird watchers, photographers and artists. “This is something that appeals to a wide variety of people. In the late eighties we drew about 120,000 people and that number has only grown. The majority of people that come here are non-consumptive users. They come to watch the birds, the cranes. They flock here like the birds.” says Hoffman with a smile. “Crex is one of the top 100 birding destinations in the world. It’s a lifetime destination for some people.” What makes our area so special? “There are very few places in the world where you can see something like this — even if you’re not interested in wildlife at all, most people say WOW! This is cool!” says Hoffman.

A dozen home hacks to save the planet BY JEN BARTON ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST, RCC

I have compiled twelve ideas below to help inspire you and your family to do more to help save Mother Earth, especially if you are overwhelmed or need some help getting started. •Use microfiber towels, not paper towels or disposable wipes Oh the paper, paper waste is a simple place to start when thinking about ways you can reduce your families’ impact on the environment, and reduction can help conserve trees and reduce the pollution produced in the bleaching process. •Use only recyclable “safer” plastics We all know that plastics are made from petroleum, a nonrenewable resource, and can contain toxins that leach into your food or beverages. •Use a rainwater catchment, not the garden hose Try installing a rain barrel next spring and watch the water rise! While some people in the world can’t get enough water to drink or bathe, Americans pour about eight billion gallons of water a day on their lawns and landscaping.

•Recycle your electronics In Wisconsin it’s illegal to throw out old electronics. We accept used electronics at a number of recycling sites (although not all), please call me and we can find one near you! •Shop your way to waste reduction If shopping is a hassle, then consider shopping at an online site. •Opt out of junk mail Reduce and eliminate direct mail by opting out of receiving both junk mail and catalogs. •Purchase minimally packaged goods, not over-packaged goods When you purchase something, consider the packaging that you’ll be bringing home to just dispose of. •Recycle/Reuse printer paper instead of using new paper Keep a bin next to your printer for used paper that has only been printed on one side. •Properly dispose of medication, but not down the drain Flushing pharmaceutical drugs down the toilet or pouring them down the drain creates major environmental hazards. If you live in town wastewater treatment plants cannot remove these chemicals and they end up back in our

environment. If you live in the country, there are no waste water treatment plants so … you get the picture. Today, 46 million Americans are affected by trace concentrations of pharmaceutical drugs in their water. If you require medication, plan on taking them to a meds collection event held in conjunction with the summer household hazardous waste Saturday collections. Or if the need is urgent, most sheriff departments now have anonymous drop boxes located at their office where you can dispose of medicines, call your local department to find out more. •Recycle your carpet, don’t fill up the dump If you’re about to remove or replace your carpeting, think twice before you haul it away to the landfill. It’s estimated that nearly five billion pounds of carpeting end up in the landfills each year. Instead, if it is still in usable condition, donate or sell any carpet or area rugs that are still in good condition. •Turn your old athletic shoes into surfaces, don’t toss them You can recycle your old stinky athletic shoes through RCC. We deliver them to Nike and they recycle them. The shoes become “Nike Grind,” which

is a material used for playgrounds, basketball courts, school tracks, and other play surfaces. The program is not restricted to Nike shoes — they’ll accept any brand as long as they don’t have cleats. Call Jen to locate a drop-off box for shoes in our region. •Use reusable cloth bags, not paper or plastic OK, this one is super easy yet I still find it rare to see people doing it.

Hospice helps patients and families focus on quality of life SPOONER—November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and hospices across the country are reaching out to raise awareness about the highest quality care for all people coping with life-limiting illness. “Every year, nearly 1.6 million people living with a life-limiting illness receive care from hospice and palliative care providers in this country,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “These highly-trained professionals ensure that patients and families find dignity, respect, and love during life’s most difficult journey.” Hospice is not a place. Hospice and palliative care programs provide pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support, and spiritual care to patients and their families when a cure is not possible. Hospice and palliative care combines the highest level of quality medical care with the emotional and spiritual support that families need most when fac-

ing the end of life. Through this specialized quality care, we see many patients and their families experience more meaningful moments together. Hospice helps them focus on living despite a terminal diagnoses. As John Smith, a hospice volunteer at Main Street hospice noted, “Someone asked why I spend time volunteering for hospice. Because hospice was there for my family at a difficult time in our lives, and because hospice professionals provide the highest quality of medical care when people need it most. Why do I volunteer for hospice? It must be love!” Throughout the month of November, Spooner /Grantsburg Regional Hospice Services, will be joining organizations across the nation hosting activities that will help the community understand how important hospice and palliative care can be. More information about hospice, palliative care, and advance care planning is available from Spooner/Grantsburg Regional Hospice Services, 819 Ash St., Spooner, WI 54801 (phone 715-635-9077).

GRANTSBURG—A new lung cancer screening that can detect lung cancer in its earliest stages is now available at Burnett Medical Center (BMC). The screening, which uses low-dose CT (computerized tomography), is recommended for people at high-risk of developing lung cancer. “With November being Lung Cancer Awareness Month, it’s an important time to recognize that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women worldwide,” said Angie Bonander, Radiologic Technologist at Burnett Medical Center. “CT lung screening can detect lung cancer in its earliest stages, when it is most treatable.” Studies have shown that CT lung screening can lower the risk of death from lung cancer by 20 percent for high-risk populations. Cindy Jensen, Radiologic Technologist and Diagnostic Imaging Manager, explained how the screening works, “CT lung screening is painless, noninvasive, and takes just a few minutes to perform. The patient lies on a table that slides in and out of the CT scanner as special x-ray technology takes a series of pictures of the patient’s lungs. A computer then creates an image that enables providers to identify small masses of tissue in the lung called nodules.” If a nodule is detected, periodic follow-up scans may be recommended to monitor for changes. If a lung nodule is new or has changed in size, shape or appearance, further testing may be recommended to determine if it is cancerous.

The United States Preventive Services Task Force and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, among others, recommend that current and former smokers at high-risk for lung cancer discuss the appropriateness of the CT lung screening with their primary care provider. BMC’s Diagnostic Imaging Department offers CT lung screening to those who meet the following eligibility requirements — age 55 to 74 years old; currently a smoker or have quit within the past 15 years; smoked at least a pack of cigarettes a day for 30+ years or two packs a day for 15 years; no history of lung cancer themselves. Coverage for CT lung cancer screening may vary among insurance companies. To ensure compliance with a patient’s medical insurance, all orders are authorized through BMC’s Prior Authorization Coordinator. If a patient does not have insurance, they need to cover the entire cost of the screening before services are performed. An order for the CT lung screening must be placed by a patient’s primary care provider. To schedule an appointment with a BMC provider to discuss whether or not the screening would be beneficial and safe for you, please call 715-463-5353 or 800-2935353. For more information about the CT lung cancer screening service, please visit BMC’s website at www.burnettmedicalcenter.com.

Pirates make history with win over Regis BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates made history Friday night as the first team in the Pirates’ 99 years of football to record 11 wins in a season. And they did it in impressive fashion over a team that had knocked them out of the playoffs last season. The Pirates came into the game with something to prove to themselves and the Pirate faithful, and at the end of this one they left

no doubt as they shutout the Eau Claire Regis Ramblers 17-0 to advance to level three in WIAA playoff action. “A tremendous night for our team as we played a physical four quarters of football,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “Our team was up for the challenge of playing against a program like Regis and we did a good job of controlling the line of scrimmage which made the difference.” After a week of rain, the field was a little wet and muddy, but this didn’t

slow the Pirates’ defense much. They dug into the mud and shut down the Ramblers’ running game, and as the game played out the Pirates forced three turnovers as well. Grantsburg grabbed two interceptions on the night— one by John Chenal, the other by Jase Quimby. Jaeger Staeven also recovered a fumble for the Pirates.

The Ramblers run a tight style of offense that confuses many defenses, but the middle of the Pirate defense stood tall and did their jobs all night long. The two defensive tackles, Austin Bowman and Jake Wicklund, plugged up the middle and ran down the Rambler ball SEE PIRATES, PAGE 15

WISCONSIN RAPIDS—“It was inspiring and exhilarating to watch these boys and others in our area race at state,” Roy Ward, Webster Tiger coach, said of the action at Saturday’s Division 3 WIAA Cross Country Championships. “It is awesome to know that we have a few of the best runners in the state.” He was speaking of Andrew Ruiz and Joey Formanek, the two Tiger runners who qualified to race on Saturday. “You won’t have to look to far down the list (results list) to see Andrew’s stats — he ran an amazing race,” Ward praised. “He finished 14th and was within striking distance of a state medal — it was exciting to see Andrew racing with the very best in the state.” The coach said Ruiz ran a fast opening mile but was able to maintain his position for the duration of the race. His time of 17:14.2 was an improvement of almost a minute from his time at last year’s state meet plus he finished 66 places ahead of his sophomore year showing. Speaking of sophomores, Formanek achieved all of the goals he set for himself for Saturday. “He finished almost exactly where Andrew finished his sophomore year so now Joey has a challenge ahead of him to do that again next year,” Ward explained. This is the second year in a row Formanek closed out his season at Wisconsin Rapids. “He improved from 116th to 69th and his time in 2014 was 19:05 and this year he finished at 18:15,” the coach

Dragons win ﬁnale at Jamboree BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SCHOFIELD—”It was a great way to end our season,” exclaimed Siren Dragon football coach Ryan Karsten following his team’s 28-22 win over Sevastopol. “We really played well for most of the game. I really think the reason we played so well is that we had 98 percent of our players from the team that started the season 3-0. Since the 3-0 start we had many kids miss games due to injuries. It has been a tough season for injuries for us. It was really nice to have Bailey Mangen, Neil Oustigoff, Josiah Wegner, Tyler Anton, Eric Bruss, Logan Meagher, Garett Hunter, and Keenan Cook all back on the field together for the first time since game three. If you want to know what heart is and what is meant to a group of guys to win the game on Saturday, all you had to do is look into the eyes of these guys that misses games over the last few week.” “There were at least five guys that could have mailed in their season and choose not to play in the Jamboree due to injury but they did. They did the best they could do with the injuries they had. They did it because the love their team mates and wanted to help the team win. That is all a coach can ever ask of his players.” “As for the game, we ran the ball well. Josiah (Weg-

ner) and Brady (Mangen) controlled the ground game and combined for over 300 yard rushing and four touchdowns. Sevastopol was a very good team that came into the jamboree 7-2. They had a great season and had some great players. Their running back had over 1,000 yards and had a receiver that had over 40 catches and 16 touchdowns. Neil (Oustigoff) got the job of covering him all game. Neil held him to six catches and less than 60 yards and no TD’s. Neil had an interception and five pass break ups. It was one of the best games I have seen by a defensive back in a long

time.” “Keenan Cook lead the team with nine tackles, followed by six tackles by Josiah (Wegner) and Neil Oustigoff. Logan Meagher and Josiah also had an interception each too.” “This ends my second year as the head coach at Siren,” related Coach Karsten, “and I have to say goodbye to three great players — Josiah Wegner, Neil Oustigoff and Keenan Cook. All three men are great players and more importantly great people. It has been a pleasure to coach them the last two season and I wish them nothing but the best in the future.”

carriers. Wicklund had nine solo tackles with two assists. Bowman wasn’t far behind adding seven solos and two assists. The linebacker duo of Mason McEvers and John Chenal took their games to new levels as they covered the entire field. McEvers ended his night with three solos and 11 assists. John Chenal had five solos and eight assists. Leo Chenal ended the top defensive players list recording two solos and nine assists. “On a muddy, wet field we relied on our O and D lines and they came through in a big way. Our defensive tackles, Jake Wicklund and Austin Bowman played lights out and seemed to be around the ball all night,” Hale said of his defense. “John Chenal and Mason McEvers played well again and really helped limit Regis’ big play ability.” Grantsburg scored on their opening drive in the first quarter. On fourth down, quarterback Avery Fagerberg tossed the ball over the middle to an open Dakota Schultz who made a diving catch to put the Pirates at the three yard line. Jaeger Staeven ran around the edge to paydirt to put the hometown boys on the scoreboard. Fagerberg kicked the point after to go up 7-0. Midway throught the second quarter, Fagerberg kicked a 25 yard field goal to give the Pirates a 10-0 lead. Regis made a drive late in the second, and with three seconds

left before the half the Ramblers attempted a field goal. But a bad snap over the holder’s head ended their chance and the Pirates headed to the locker room with a 10-0 lead. The third quarter was scoreless for both teams. In the fourth quarter the Pirates started to work the clock as they made a long drive down the field. With just two minutes left in the game, Fagerberg punched it in from one yard out to seal the win. The PAT was good to make it a 17-0 game. “Offensively, our line played tough and made some big holes on the key fourth quarter drive to allow us to get the game clinching score,” Coach Hale said of his offensive line. The Pirates advance to Level 3 of the playoffs and will face another North Lakeland Conference team in the Unity Eagles on Friday night. The Eagles advanced with a win over Abbottsford. This game will be a rematch of the first conference game of the season played back on Sept. 4 in which the Pirates were able to hang on to a 25-18 win over the Eagles. “We have a lot to work to get ready for Unity. They are big, fast and are playing really good football over the past month,” Hale noted. “It’s great to have two Lakeland teams represented in a Level 3 playoff game.” Due to field conditions, the game is set to be played at 7 p.m. on Friday at Cumberland.

STATE: Cross country runners’ season ended last weekend at Wisconsin Rapids “I was really happy with their performances despite the cold and rainy weather,” Ward realized. “The course got muddier with each race and since we were the 4th race the footing got pretty slippery — the times were better than I would have expected in those conditions.”

Grantsburg Pirate runners Grace Gerber and Brittanie Blume, making their first appearance at state, finished 21st and 26th, respectively. “I was really happy with how both of the girls ran — I thought it was a good way to finish out their season,” coach Andy Richardson said. “I think for both

of them it was a good experience running at such a big meet and hopefully it is something they will get more opportunities to do in the future.” Like Ward, Richardson said the cold, wet weather was a factor. “The weather was bad but luckily the girls got to run first before the course was too beat up so even though it was cold and rainy out it definitely could have been worse,” he remarked. Gerber crossed the line in 20:33.2 with Blume close behind at 20:39.1 “It was cool to see the girls run close to each other,” Richardson reported. “It was something we talked about before the race — to use each other and work together.”

Pirates bow out to Phillips

Castleguards end Dragons season

BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

LADYSMITH—The Grantsburg Pirates battled hard against the Phillips Loggers in sectional semi-final action on Thursday, taking this match to five sets before bowing out in the final set. It was reverse deja vu in the first three sets with the Loggers taking the first, 25-20. The Pirates took the second 25-20, and then Phillips took the third 25-20. The Pirates switched gears and took care of business in the fourth, taking the 25-16 win. In the deciding fifth set the Pirates came out hot and jumped out to an 8-4 lead. The Loggers called time out, and Grantsburg seemed to lose their fire, eventually fallng 12-15 to end their season. “Overall, we did not play poorly. A couple of key players had an “off” night, but everyone made mistakes and everyone did great things,” Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said of her Pirates. “Mostly, it came down to tentative play when it mattered most. After taking a commanding 8-4 lead in the fifth set, we very uncharacteristically began to “play to not lose” instead of “play to win.” We stopped clobbering GOOB COY | SENTINEL the ball and just kind of popped it over to keep it in play.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What kind of church are we?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Luke 5:18-19: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor.â&#x20AC;? Reading that, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to think that Christianity and serving Jesus could be boring. What an adventure to be a part of what God has for us as His followers! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not called to be the Church (the global

church) of the frozen chosen. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called to be a church in the wild. What does that even mean? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not called to be a church of safety, of the normal or of the maybe. A church in the wild is a church that brings the light of Jesus to the darkest places. A church that reaches the unreachable because there is no one on earth that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to hear the Good News. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a church in the zoo which is when we stay in a cars like on a safari and yell out the window

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus loves youâ&#x20AC;? and then keep driving. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called to get out of the car and do life with people that need Jesus. Jesus said to bring healing to the sick, then we better know some sick people. He also said to bring sight to the blind, then we better know someone who is blind. As the global Church of Jesus Christ, it is our mandate to be what Jesus was about when he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not come to call the righteous but the sinners.â&#x20AC;? I want to leave you with one last thought, light makes no difference in light.

All Hallow’s Eve

TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

McCoy DelaHuerta was all bundled up against the cold Saturday night at the Trunk or Treat event at the Siren Moose Lodge.

The eyes match the outﬁt.

The rain cleared for portions of last weekend’s Halloween — and kids made the most of it by playing games at Grace Baptist Church.

The “Minions” were a popular costume as evidenced from the Trunk or Treat event at Gateway Plaza in Grantsburg (above) or the Moose Lodge in Siren (below).

TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

Caleb Nerby enjoyed a horseback ride at the Moose Lodge.

A message from Brask - Fossum - Janke American Legion Post #185 Veterans Day, originally called Armistice Day, the only American holiday created to remember a specific moment in time. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954 signed legislation designating November 11 as Veterans Day. America’s veterans have served well. We must honor and care for those who distinguished their lives in the defense of freedom. And thank the 26 million living veterans who have served their nation so well in war and peace. We must also remember another important group - the MIAs missing in action but not missing from our hearts. God bless America and those who love, guard and defend our precious freedom.
