Dealing with nuisance bears
“These are our bears. They weren’t chased here by hunters— they were born here,” Glenn Rolloff pointed out. “Our ultimate goal is to train these bears — to not be so comfortable around people. We want the bears to go where there are no humans” That’s going to be harder than it sounds. “I found seven bear baiting sites within a mile of the village,” Melissa Smith, executive director of Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf, who was lending her wildlife experience

GRANTSBURG—Nuisance bears in Grantsburg, like the bears themselves, continue to be a growing problem. Just ask Alycia Dickensen. “We don’t even go outside — they come within 10-feet of the house,” she told members of the Grantsburg Village Board Monday night. “Our three year old daughter is terrified of them.” The board addressed the issue at its regular August meeting but so much furor came on the heels of that meeting that the village president called

Time trials at airport OK’d BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL
For the fun of it Nick Binversie of Luck, with a full pull of 31-feet, was the winner in the 4-and-under division of the pedal tractor pull competition which kicked off Cushing Fun Day on Saturday. Other events included the kiddie parade, frog jumping, turtle races and the fan-favorite, adult soap box derby races, down Main Street.
SIREN—Considering the inaugural event to be a “dress rehearsal,” the Burnett County Board of Supervisors voted Thursday to allow the county airport to be used as the site for the Automobile Adventures time trials Sept. 19. “I see it as another PR opportunity for the airport,” Jeremy Sickler, airport manager, said of the event. “It’s another purpose to get people out to the airport who normally wouldn’t go.” Like Sickler told the public safety committee, which recommended approval of the event to the entire board, “we have to do it once and see how
Jeremy Sickler
it goes.” Rick Anderson, public safety committee member, agreed. “Other communities do it — our thought was we could try it here,” he offered.
The 6-hour event is slated to begin at 10 a.m. and is expected to attract between 70 and 100 time trial participants. Sickler said he expects maybe as many as 300 spectators. The event will operate on Runway 05/23, the NE/SW runway, with the cars beginning at the northeast end of the runway and racing 800 yards to southwest. Orange water barrels will outline the end of the use area. “The Siren Lions will be providing a food booth and the organizers are taking care of all the signage, roping off the runway the cars will be using, and provide time trial vehicle inspections. “We’ll be checking for workSEE AIRPORT, PAGE 6
Three new retailers ready to shine in Siren’s Outpost Mall once again made the mall, tucked away on the east side of Hwy. 35 on Crooked Lake’s north side, worthy of a look-see.
BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—Three new retailers have opened their doors this summer and have made the Outpost Mall on Siren’s north side a must-see destination. Joining Fat Daddy Pizza, the three new businesses — Siren Pawn and Variety, Better than New and North Star Antiques — have put the customer back into customer service and have
Siren Pawn and Variety The sign on the door says Siren Pawn and Variety but owner Tom Varcato admits the business is really about 75 percent variety and 25 percent pawn. “A lot of people in the area told us Siren needed a shop like this,” he continued. “And since we have been open, we
NEWS 715-463-2341 todd@burnettcountysentinel.com
have heard a lot of ‘Thank-you’s.’” The shop opened in the Outpost Mall on Siren’s north side in late June. And Varcato, who is extremely personable, is the perfect guy to be running a retail store. “I find it’s easier to just get along with everyone rather than have hard feelings,” he observed. “The better you treat people, the better they treat you.” Between Tom and Kathy, the Varcato’s have been in the pawn business for

about 14 years, the last five at a shop in Cumberland. “Like any other business, it has its ups and downs,” Varcato quipped. “Sometimes, we don’t know where the next $20 is coming from.” So why Siren? “We’ve been coming here since 2001 — we helped out in the aftermath of the tornado,” he explained. “We really like

the area.” Moving the business just made sense. “We found most of our customers were coming to Cumberland from Frederic, Danbury, Grantsburg, Siren and Webster anyway, so we thought about moving,” Varcato pointed out. “We looked around and found this building.” And what a find for them. “The old shop was 550 square feet — there wasn’t room for a lot of merchandise, let alone any customers,” he noted. Their space at the Outpost Mall has 1,700 square feet — ample room to display a lot of their wares. Speaking of wares, Varcato said the shop has a huge variety from musical instruments, jewelry, hunting and fishing gear, kitchen items, DVDs and more. “We have it all — a little bit of everything,” Varcato exclaimed. “And if we don’t have it, we can probably find it. We have plenty of inventory and when something sells, we bring out something else — and we stand behind everything we sell,’ In that sense, it’s almost like visiting a new store each time you go. Add on the pawn side of the business, the variety of merchandise gets ramped up. “People can bring in stuff to sell but it’s usually to cover for an unexpected expense, like having to replace a flat tire,” Varcato said. “For instance, a guy might bring in a taxidermy mount, I’ll give him money for it but I don’t sell it for 30 days. If he doesn’t come back to
Tom Varcato, Terri Inman and Rose and Bruce Loerzel
buy it back, it’s ours to sell — it’s kind of like a bank loan, only easier.” But the pawn side of the business can be an up-and-down affair so it’s good to have the new merchandise to balance it out. “When we first opened, we bought half a semi-load of new stuff,” Varcato said. “It pretty much flew out of here like hot cakes the first week or two.” And while he’s not seeing the 75 customers a day like when the business first opened, there’s a steady stream of customers and people calling on the phone. “Just yesterday when I got here to open at 10 a.m., there were some people waiting to get in,” he pointed out. Speaking of hours, Varcato said the shop is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
Better than New
Stop in for all your hunting gear!
With 30 years in the retail world behind her, Terri Inman, owner of Better than New, opened her shop featuring better quality yet gently-used home and cabin decor in early July. “This is my talent — it’s almost like a ministry,” she admitted. “People don’t expect to see what they’ll see when they walk in.” Customers are greeted by “stages” of furnishings. For example, there’s the cabin motif where a matching table, chairs and armoire await viewing, a patio motif, where a wicker table and chairs are on display or a living room motif where a couch, love chair and coffee table are grouped together. “I wanted to ‘stage’ the furniture so people would have a good shopping experience,” Inman proclaimed. But she does caution shoppers on the fluidity of her shop. “If you see something you really like, you better buy it because more than likely it’ll be gone the next time you stop,” she said with a smile, “I know that sounds like a shtick a used car salesman would use, but it’s true.” For instance, she had a table with chairs, a couch and an end table all in the same area of the store.

last week, the merchandise was gone leaving somewhat of a hole in her display. “We always keep you guessing,” she said when it came time to bring in new furniture to fill that hole. “In addition to a storage unit filled with merchandise, my partner, Brian Thompson, and I go on weekly buying trips.” Having 30 years in the retail business, Inman is not without her contacts. “I’m always looking for one-of-a-kind or unique pieces,” she noted. “People I know and who know what I’m doing are always on the lookout for me too.” She’s right when she says it’s her talent, especially with her innate eye for seeing what goes together. “I’ve even had customers ask if I’ll come into their homes and consult about what pieces to buy and that type of thing,” she explained. Combined with her willingness to negotiate on prices, Inman said people at any income level should feel comfortable shopping at Better than New. “I had one gal come in and told me she had X-amount and need to furnish her entire apartment,” she pointed out. “I was able to accommodate her request and when she thanked me, she had a tear in her eye — when I saw that I knew I’m doing a good thing.” In the roughly two months she has been open, Inman said she has gotten a good reception from customers in the area. “Since a lot of what I have is cabin decor, with a lot of log furnishings, and a lot of the traffic through here are cabin people, it seems to be a good fit,” she reasoned. “I’m all about functional living.” She’s had enough success that she’s branching into clothes and jewelry as well.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: When I was a child I thought “Hap Time’ was a punishment — now it just feels like a small vacation.
4 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL
www.burnettcountysentinel.com
AUGUST 26, 2015
Back in the saddle I don’t recall how vacations work in other businesses but in the newspaper business, I was told “As long as all of your work is done, you can take vacation.” Well, I’ve never paid strict adherence to the rules and I’ve managed to bend a few corners in order to take nearly three weeks off at a stretch the last couple of summers — couldn’t be done without the support of my co-workers who had to stay behind because they didn’t fit in my luggage. But regardless, I’m back in the saddle and as it has been each time following vacation, I’m finding it tough to get back in the groove of things — both work-wise and home-wise. It’s back to reality at home as we grapple with a basement floor drain problem, unruly tree roots and windows which need a coat of paint before winter. Plus, I hadn’t been to the gym to do a serious workout in three weeks — it’s amazing how quickly whatever stamina you’ve built up over time dissipates. As far as the work-piece goes, thankfully, I’ve had the opportunity to visit with Tom, Bruce and Terri, retailers who Seems operate Siren Pawn, North Star to Me Antiques and Better than New, Todd Beckmann respectively, in the Outpost Mall in Siren. Three of the nicest folks you’d ever want to meet and it made writing stories about their establishments fun. And yes, there were a few meetings — actions of those groups are detailed elsewhere in this edition. And just in case I had lost my touch on laying out pages, I not only had a chance to reacquaint myself with that arcane skill when I laid out last week’s edition but, as luck would have it, I got to layout Speaker pages for this issue last week as well. But probably the best part of skipping town for the better part of August is that I’m home just in time for the start of the fall sports season. Here at the paper we have been working on assembling the first “Time Out for Sports” edition for the coming school year. It has to be an exciting time for the kids out for the various sports — How will the season fare for them? Did the extra work in the off-season pay-off? I learned the Siren Dragons had a girl on the 8-man football team. Oops, I guess we have to call it the Siren 8-person football team — can’t be accused of sexism. It was fun to talk with Kayla and I discovered she’s doing what she’s doing simply to make herself a better athlete — talk about self-sacrifice. I also had to pinch-hit and take mug shots of the Webster High School Cross County team. For those of you who may not recall, the entire Webster boys team made it to state in Cross Country last year. Sure, they lost two of their better runners to graduation in June but barring injury, I can already envision a trip to Wisconsin Rapids (site of the state meet) in October. No, it’s not the Sports Illustrated jinx, just an educated speculation.
BURNETT COUNTY
Barking dogs in the summer sun The end of summer is in sight. This weekend marks the second football game of the season for many schools, and last week’s cool and rainy weather are indicators of the arrival of fall. Some of the trees that turn early in the season are changing colors, and a few are already shedding their leaves. From the We are on the Publisher’s verge of a presidential election Desk year, and the dozen and half folks Tom Stangl that want to be the 45th President of the United States are busy trying to make the news. Donald Trump is taking up most of the air time as he campaigns for the Republican nomination. I imagine the blood pressure of many in the media and Republican party establishment rises as polls continue to show Trump in the lead. He is resonating because he says what many people are thinking, but are afraid or unwilling to say. Trump will tell you what he wants to do, but specifics? He will worry about that later. I am reminded of former Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca and Ross Perot when I think about Trump. Peo-
ple wanted both of them to run for president, and Perot ran as an independent, siphoning enough votes from George H.W. Bush to get Bill Clinton elected. There are people that want the nation to be run like a business, and they will always look to iconic CEOs to get the nation to succeed. When I lived in Iowa and worked at a daily newspaper, I covered three and a half presidential election cycles. The county where I lived was considered a bellwether for the Republican party, so the GOP candidates would come to call. Here are some random observances from the 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012 campaigns: Steve Forbes was among the pack running in 2000, and reminded me of Teddy Roosevelt. He bought lunch for everyone at a restaurant in town, posed for digital photos that were printed by his staff on the spot and gave local media 10 minute interviews on his campaign bus as he rode to his next event. A campaign staffer drove my car in a caravan line behind the bus, and when my time was up, I got off and the next reporter took my place. Mike Huckabee bought pizza for everyone and was very personable and funny. Mitt Romney didn’t like whipped cream and a cherry on the milkshake he received at the ice cream parlor, sending it back for another. John McCain, a few months later,

asked for extra whipped cream and two cherries on his milkshake. Joe Biden spent 15 minutes one on one with my daughters as he ate chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone. Biden came across as very sincere. They had to open the fairgrounds to accommodate the crowd for Barack Obama. Newt Gingrich had a weak handshake. He did not take your entire hand when he shook it, only the fingers. Michele Bachmann brought her own crowd in a separate bus when she came to town. I believe that states like Iowa, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Wisconsin need to be early in the selection process. The candidates actually need to sit down at a diner, look people in the eye and answer questions. They HATE that, which is exactly why they need to campaign this way. We’ll see where this goes from here, but right now it is like watching a bunch of dogs barking in the hot sun, trying desperately to get some attention. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875
The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The 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. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
COVER TO COVER
Drive sober or get pulled over
Larsen Family Public Library
Dear Editor: There were more than 24,000 convictions for drunken driving last year in Wisconsin. That means far too many people made the reckless and irresponsible decision to put their lives and the lives of others in grave danger by driving drunk. To get drunken drivers off our roads, Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers will join other law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin in the annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign from August 21 to September 7. Our officers are well trained in identifying the signs of impaired driving, and they know where and when to look for drunken drivers. So if you’re ever faced with the choice of getting behind the wheel while impaired vs. giving up your car keys, please consider the following: A drunken driving arrest can cause major embarrassment, expensive penalties, suspension or revocation of your driver’s license and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicles. If you injure or kill someone while driving drunk, you will face a jail sentence. In addition to severe financial and legal penalties, you will suffer a lifetime of guilt if you injure or kill an innocent victim. Because of its serious consequences, driving drunk likely will be a decision you’ll regret the rest of your life. During this crackdown on drunken drivers and throughout the year, we are serious when we say, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” Sheriff Ron Wilhelm Chief Jeff Schinzing, Grantsburg Police Department Chief Chris Sybers, Siren Police Department Chief Mike Spafford, Webster Police Department
STROLL THROUGH THE PAST By Eunice Kanne
The Burnett County Sentinel, the county’s first newspaper, began publishing on February 19, 1875 with 200 subscribers. Mr. M. Wescott, the first editor, set up his equipment over Peck’s store on Pine Street, but in a few months built at Oak and Burnett, a block from where the new courthouse was to be built. — Strolling Through The Century The building burned in 1987. (E.K.) The population of the village of Grantsburg, according to the July 17, 1885 Sentinel was 241, a gain of 140 in five years. Thoreson and Son of Grantsburg advertised: “Rust proof corsets. If they break, if they tear, if they rust, we take them back.” — Journal October 20, 1911 “The Rink,” a large wooden building located on the southwest corner of Oak and Madison, was an early community center where roller skating, basket socials, dances, community programs, medicine and vaudeville shows, as well as church services (conducted in English), were held — Pioneer Tales Canute Anderson’s plans for Grantsburg as a town almost didn’t develop. A mail route ran between Stillwater and Bayfield on what was known as the Bayfield Tote Road. Mail was carried by pony, dog team, on foot or snowshoes. The hard and often dangerous trip took as long as three to four weeks. It was on this route that, before the Civil War, Nimrod Hickerson had built an earlier center near the Wood River Big Springs, about two miles southwest of the Grantsburg site. At this location, he had also built a mill, a post office and a stopping place. For as long as it prospered, it was called Hickersonville. The place was built as a stopping place for men and teams of loggers who had commenced operation in the Upper St. Croix on the fine stands of white pine. The post office was called Wood River. As to the Tote Road, this was a stop on the St. Paul-Bayfield route. It began in St. Paul with stops at Stillwater, Sunrise, Gordon and Bayfield. — Sentinel, October 15, 1897

BEAR: Discussion yields two-pronged attack CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
to the debate. “It was gummy bears, waffles, maple syrup — it smelled delicious.” While there are state laws prohibiting feeding bear in the village, the food sites nearby aren’t helping. “This is conditioning the bears — why should they hunt acorns and berries when the food is readily available?” she argued. “When other states banned bear baiting, the number of conflicts went down.” And that’s just gravy on top of the natural surroundings. “Grantsburg has the third highest density of black bears in the world,” Smith noted. “Whatever action is taken needs to be swift and precise — we need to learn how to coexist.” She said she wasn’t at the meeting to tell village officials not to kill bears. “I have no problem with direct action against nuisance bears,” she quickly added. The DNR’s Steve Hoffman had an answer to that. “Wildlife Services can come in and take them out,” he said simply.
“There’s a cost but it is an option.” While direct action against two or three of the more aggressive bears might be the answer in the short-term, Rolloff suggested “bear teams” as a long-term solution. “With the right defensive tools, I think there are enough interested people in the village who will go out, irritate the bears and train them they are not welcome where there are people,” he said. The right tools would include air horns, starters pistols, whistles — even rubber bullets for shotguns. “We’d have to modify our ordinances to permit these ‘aversion’ techniques to be used within the village,” Rolloff continued. But that plan in itself raised red flags amongst board members. “There’s a liability issue to the village if you send citizens out after these bears,” trustee Greg Peer observed. Fellow board member Scott DeRocker agreed. “I see a problem if you send people out to deal with these bears — we’d be opening ourselves to a lot of trouble.” Rolloff admitted the training is
an integral part of the plan. “That’s why we need some good training,” he explained. “I don’t want Alycia to pepper-spray the sow — I think that could get ugly.” The ‘bear teams’ would have to be selected carefully. “We need to get the right people for these bear teams,” Chris Bartlett, public works director, cautioned. With that, the village seemed prepared to move forward with a twoprong attack against the bears. “We need to gather more information on the ‘Get Bear Smart’ program from Melissa and we have to get more information on what Wildlife Services can do for us as far as eliminating bear from Steve,” Rolloff directed. “Plus, we’ll have to develop a list of our ordinances which need to be updated to accommodate these aversion techniques.” But it can’t be done only by the residents being affected by the bears. “It has to be a community-wide effort,” Rolloff insisted.
AIRPORT: Race event gets trial run in September CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
ing seat belts, brakes — just making sure they are safe to be doing what they’ll be doing,” Mark Pettis, Jr., one of the event organizers, told board members. As far as the runway, Sickler said he will file the proper paperwork
with the FAA to close that runway for the duration of the event. “We will keep the long runway open for aviation activities,” he assured the board. Sickler said they aren’t advertising the event nor charging admission “If it goes well, we could look at
doing two time trials a year,” he concluded. In other business: • The board approved a pair of ATV route requests int the Town of Oakland. The location of the routes are on file at the highway shop. • In related news, supervisors Jeremy Gronski and Chris Sybers resigned from the board in order to apply for the highway commissioner job. Morehouse is retiring later this year.

Cannabis oil facility in the works?
SIREN—The Burnett County Board of Supervisors learned of the latest money-making scheme of the St. Croix tribe during Thursday’s meeting. Chairman Don Taylor told the rest of the board he met with St. Croix tribal officials to hear about the possibility of the tribe opening a cannibis oil facility. “The tribe is working with the State Legislature to see if the necessary laws could get enacted to allow the facility,” Taylor remarked. “If there is to be a facility, it would be at the fish farm in Danbury.” As part of the arrangements, Taylor said the county would get a two percent cut from the proceeds. “It could be a substantial amount,” he reported.

“We sell antiques — let’s be reasonable” is the motto of one of Siren’s newest antiques outlet, North Star Antiques, owned and operated by Bruce and Rose Loerzel. A long-time collector himself, Bruce Loerzel said he has been in the business of buying and selling antiques for about 15 years. “We used to sell through auctions and online, but this is our first storefront,” he explained. North Star Antiques specialize in everything from Hull Pottery and Depression Glass to Griswold Cast Iron and Bavaria China. Open since late May, he’s finding he likes the retail business. “It gives me a chance to visit with the public and maybe even learn from them,” Loerzel continued. In fact, the learning piece is probably his favorite part of having the storefront. “I’m learning as I go — never too old to learn,” he quipped. For example, he has a chest of drawers and the drawers were assembled using the peg and tail design. “Until I bought that piece and researched it, I didn’t know what peg and tail were,” Loerzel admitted. “A very solid design — it was the forerunner to dovetail.” But some of his favorite pieces in the store are the functional ones, particularly Fostoria stemware and Red Wing stoneware. Why Red Wing? “Every hand-lathed piece has its own uniqueness — that’s what I like about it,” he expressed. Does it have an oval? Are there birch leaves or aspen leaves? Is there a ski in the oval? What color is the ink? All are clues to the year of manufacture. Or, like the 20-gallon piece that has someone’s thumb print on it. “That print was made while the clay was still soft be-

fore the final firing,” Loerzel pointed out. “There were only so many people who made these pieces so I wonder whose print that is.” He’s sharing his love of antiques with his customers. “I believe everyone should collect something,” Loerzel commented. “In the antique market, right now is a good time to buy.” And North Star Antiques wants to help. “We are in a position to get some good prices and then pass those savings onto our customers,” he said. Because the couple go every week to estate sales or auctions, they are always on the lookout for pieces for the store. “If there’s something you are looking for, we might not have it but we can usually get it,” he assured. “Plus, we keep a journal of what people are looking for so when we go to sales, we know what to look for.” By keeping their prices extremely reasonable, he said there has been a good mix of local people as well as tourists making their way through Siren who have found the store. “The traffic we have seen has been phenomenal,” he reported. As an example, there was a couple visiting from England in last week and they collect porcelain foxes, so now the Loerzel’s know they have a home for a porcelain fox should they ever come across one. North Star Antiques is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

SIREN—The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office currently has recently recovered at least three stolen bikes but without knowing who the proper owner is, has no way to return them. “At this point, we don’t even have a crime — just recovered property,” investigator Julie Mead reported. “I think people don’t want to report a stolen bike because they think ‘It’s just a bike.’” But she insists the size of the item stolen isn’t the point.

VA considers closing some hospitals BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is facing a $2.5 billion budget shortfall. The shortfall affects the current budget year, which ends September 30. VA officials have warned that if Congress does not address the current budget shortfall, the Department may have to close some of its hospitals. The VA indicated that the shortfall was partly caused by an increased demand for veterans’ medical care. VA officials also noted that there has been increased
demand for expensive hepatitis C treatments. A single treatment dose can cost up to $1,000, and the VA predicts that it will need an additional $500 million to cover these drugs alone. In addition to possibly shutting down some hospitals, the VA is considering additional ways to alleviate budget constraints. The agency may require furloughs and hiring freezes. Further, the VA is seeking to redistribute funds. Specifically, it would like to reallocate $3 billion dollars in funds that are currently slated for the Veterans
Choice program — a program that aims to reduce medical care wait time by allowing veterans to receive treatment from non-VA medical professionals. This proposal has yet to be approved. The VA has sought Congress’ help to address the budget gap. Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson stated that action is needed within the next three weeks to avoid negative consequences. The VA health care system currently has nine million enrollees.
Know before you throw: Proper disposal of medication If you’ve ever found old, expired medication, you may have disposed of it by flushing it down the toilet. While it is beneficial for you to get rid of medication you do not need, consider disposing of your excess medication in one of the following ways: General disposal The best way to dispose of medication is to leave the medication at a designated medication drop-off site. To find a medication drop-off site, contact your local police department. In addition to your local police department or a community service, your pharmacy may have its own disposal program. If you have difficulty finding a disposal site in your community or pharmacy, you can seek information from your pharmacy, local police department or healthcare provider about the Drug Enforcement
Administration’s mail-back program. Finally, you may be able to dispose of medication through community take-back days. This year, on Saturday, May 16, the Wisconsin Department of Justice coordinated a Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative. On that day, Wisconsin communities collected over 39,000 pounds of prescription medication, which was safely transported to and disposed of in an incinerator. In-Home disposal If you have no other alternative other than to dispose of the medication in your home, you can throw it in your garbage. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources suggests the following procedures for safely disposing of medication in-home: •Remove or completely mark on labels that identify materials as pharmacy drugs, or that provide personal information about you that someone could use to refill the prescription. •Dissolve the medication in a small amount

Numbers of older caregivers on the rise BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
As highlighted in a recent New York Times article prompted-by a report by the National Alliance for Caregiving and the AARP Public Policy Institute, more older people (who may need caregiving themselves) are the primary caregivers for their spouses, relatives, or friends who need help staying in their homes. The report found that nearly 1 in 10 caregivers (about seven percent) is now 75 years of age or older amounting to roughly three million seniors caring for other seniors nationwide. Older people who are providing care for a loved one in the home may not realize that they can be essentially “on-call” up to 24 hours a day. This comes in many forms, ranging from grocery shopping, cleaning, and managing finances, to nightly monitoring and daily assistance with bathing, dressing, feeding, and getting around the house. In many cases, the person providing the care may experience elevated stress, which can lead to physical symptoms such as sleep loss, increased blood pressure, and heartburn — not to mention emotional strain. That being said, not all effects of caregiving are negative. For some, there is the positive benefit of feeling a sense of purpose and doing something meaningful. The main reason caregivers report continuing to provide care (even at the expense of their own health) is to keep their loved one out of a nursing home. Caregivers believe they are offering better care than the person would receive without them. Notably, the AARP report found that older caregivers do not necessarily experience more emotional, physical, or financial strain than younger caregivers, but they are more likely to be on their own — that is, caregiving without unpaid help. If you are a caregiver and think you might need some assistance yourself, you have options. Consider talking with your EBS about respite care, home aides covered by Medicare, tax credits for family caregivers, and adult day programs. Don’t be afraid to talk to health care professionals or social workers about getting some extra assistance for yourself or someone you are caring for.

Medicare and Medicaid 50th Anniversary
MADISON—On the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Medicare and Medicaid into law, Citizen Action of Wisconsin released statewide and local enrollment data to paint a picture of the expansion of health care freedom the programs have enabled across Wisconsin. “50 years ago today Medicare and Medicaid began to bend the arc of American history towards the freedom of every American to control their own health care decisions, and to be assured there is always somewhere to go to get affordable life-saving coverage,” said Robert Kraig, Executive DIrector of Citizen Action of Wisconsin. The health care landscape before 1965 is almost unimaginable today. Before the passage of these landmark programs, there was no guaranteed source of health coverage for seniors, people with disabilities, and low income Americans. For example, before 1965 only 25 percent of American seniors had comprehensive health coverage, and were one major illness away from losing their health and their lifetime savings. Health insurance companies would not sell seniors affordable coverage because they have greater medical needs, and therefore were unprofitable. The key insight behind both programs is that there are large groups of Americans without access to good health coverage at work who will not have the freedom to acquire affordable health coverage unless our democratic government steps in. The understanding that seniors, people with disabilities, and low income Americans could not acquire life saving coverage without government action has been expanded in this decade to include people with preexisting conditions, farmers, the self-employed, most people who work for small businesses, and all those without good employment-based health coverage.

Questions and answers on enrollment in Medicare part B BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
Why enroll now? Generally, three months prior to your 65th birthday until three months after your 65th birthday, you may either enroll or chose not to enroll in Medicare Part B. Unlike Medicare Part A, Part B does not follow automatic enrollment because Part B requires a premium payment. While some individuals have reasons to avoid enrolling in Part B, whether to enroll in Part B is an important decision that should be made with knowledge of the consequences of enrolling or not enrolling. In considering your own enrollment in Part B, review the list of regularly cited reasons located below for rejecting Part B enrollment, as well as counter-arguments to each reason, so you can make a smart decision when your time to choose comes. I don’t want to pay a Part B premium, so why enroll? While you may save some money initially by not paying a Part B premium, if you must later enroll in Part B, you will receive a penalty of 10 percent of your premium for every 12 months that you did not enroll in Part B. I already have coverage from Medic-
aid, so I don’t need Part B, right? While you may already receive coverage from Medicaid, normally, Medicare pays for the first 80 percent of a claim, and Medicaid pays the remaining 20 percent. A claim could arise in which Medicaid decides not to cover a service. It happens that the service would be covered by Part B, but you are not enrolled. Since you do not have Part B coverage, Medicaid will not pay the 20 percent that it would have paid if you had Part B coverage. In addition to issues with costs of claims, you may run into problems with enrollment dates if you do not initially enroll in Part B. If and when you no longer qualify for Medicaid benefits, you must enroll in Part B to ensure that you receive outpatient health insurance coverage. However, unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you have to wait to enroll in Part B until January of the next year. Even more troublesome, you will not receive your Part B coverage until July of the next year.
working or when your employer’s health plan terminates — whichever occurs sooner — you have an eight-month Special Enrollment Period to enroll in Part B with no penalty. Instead of delaying Medicare, you may decide to have both your employer’s coverage as well as Medicare. In this situation, your employer’s health plan would likely serve as your primary insurance, and Medicare would likely serve as your secondary insurance. You have a third option. If you have a high premium or deductible with your employer’s health plan, and you receive good retiree health benefits through a former employer, you may choose to decline your employer’s coverage and accept Medicare coverage. Do I need Part B if I have veteran’s benefits? Even if you receive great veteran’s benefits, enrolling in Part B may provide you with additional service and location options.
Do I need Part B if I already receive health insurance through my employer? If you receive health insurance through your employer, you may not need Part B at this time. You may choose to delay enrollment in Part B based on your or your spouse’s active employment. When you or your spouse stops
If you have additional reasons why you do not believe enrollment in Part B would benefit you, contact your county’s Elder Benefit Specialist to have him or her help you evaluate your situation and help you make the best decision.

Beware of credit card skimming
CAREGIVERS CORNER By Barb Blodgett
BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM
Did you know that Burnett County is one of the poorest counties in the state? There is so much need for food, housing, assistance, care and many, many other things, and so little to give. Usually Interfaith doesn’t take donations of clothes, but we are making an exception right now. If you have gently used or new clothing for school age children, please drop them off at 7596 Hayden Lake Road. We are also shopping for clothes, so you can donate toward the cost of buying. Thanks ahead of time. We would love to help a lot of kids. Some statistics from last month (the middle of July to the middle of August): Seniors served 25; Volunteers nine (wood cutting volunteers vary, but are about 30 for that time period); Food delivery 58, which includes seniors and others that can not get to the place of distribution; Mileage was 1,480 plus miles; Other, including housing, fuel, food and other needs, 27. We had 29 requests for referral and 18 were successful. I think that is pretty impressive for Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County. We were blessed by a visit from my granddaughter and great granddaughter who will be five in December. Impossible, she was just born yesterday. She is wise beyond her years and even helped me with my ipad. They brought their dog, a yellow lab who pretty much ignored my puppies, but they pretty much exhausted her. It actually took three days to get our puppies to eat after they left. Their food was usually taken before they even got a taste. They were afraid to go near their food dishes for fear she would show up to gobble up their food. It was fun having the family together though, and I will never get enough of that little girl. She is reading now and could tell me all about her friends, her school and the gossip her mother and father didn’t know she paid attention to. We baked colored cookies and ate pizza for three meals. Her mother is pretty strict about what she eats at home, so I had to be sure to
spoil her and give her anything she wanted. There is an unwritten law that grandmothers and great grandmothers can do that. Kalea even told me that soda was bad for you and you had to drink lots of water even if it meant you had to get up a few times at night. She likes fruits and vegetables and pizza. And she prays. She said her prayers for me and made sure to pray for everyone she knew. (It was a very long prayer). I think she is being taught well. I am proud of her mother and grandmother. Labor Day is approaching and for the first time in years Denny and I are able to go to the craft show at Voyager. We were always too busy before. Now that he is retired, we can actually take some time for ourselves. Still not as much as we would like, but a trip to the doctor in Rice Lake turned into lunch and shopping. That would have never happened when he was working. We were always on a time table and finally now, not so much. I love it when we can spend time together and do normal things. Of course we always forward the office phone to my cell, just in case someone needs something. Speaking of Labor Day, does anyone remember the box lunch exchange? As I remember, we went to Mary Park in New Richmond, took a blanket, sat on the lawn and had a box lunch with us. We were given numbers and two numbers were called and we exchanged boxes. As I remember, there were a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in those boxes. Mothers could always be safe with that combination for the kids. I hated peanut butter and jelly. Still do. I ate the cut up vegetables and cheese and crackers. I don’t ever remember someone getting a reaction to peanut butter back then. Of course there wasn’t the chunky kind yet. I guess that might have made a difference. Enjoy your holiday and look forward to the changing of the leaves colors. Another summer is nearly gone and soon we will see fewer of the “blue” license plate. Until next time, God bless, Barb
“Skimming” is an increasingly popular way for thieves to steal credit card data. To skim card data, thieves often use a small device to scan and store victims’ credit card information. The device is usually smaller than a deck of cards and fits directly over an original card reader. Often, a small hidden camera is placed in the vicinity to record PIN numbers. With the stolen data, thieves can sell a victim’s personal information and/or create counterfeit credit cards. Unfortunately, many individuals are unaware that their data has been stolen until they receive monthly statements with fraudulent charges or withdrawals. Fortunately, there are ways to try to avoid skimming, including: •Be on the lookout for odd or out-ofplace card readers at ATM’s and gas station pumps. If a card reader seems to protrude from the machine or appears to be crudely affixed to the machine, it may be a skimming device. •Use ATM’s located in banks. ATM’s inside of banks are more secure than stand-alone ATM’s because they are often in the presence of bank employ-
ees and/or security cameras. •Treat your credit card like cash; keep it in your sight whenever possible. •Monitor your statements each month. Make sure that you can account for each charge or withdrawal. •Protect your PIN numbers. Whenever possible, shield the number pad from others’ view when you enter your PIN. •Consider using cash when possible to avoid using your card. •Trust your instincts. If something seems “off,” do not use the machine. If you see obvious signs of tampering (different colored materials, graphics that are not aligned correctly, or an unusual keypad), alert the bank and/ or local authorities. Even if you take all of the necessary precautions, it is still possible for your data to be stolen. If you notice fraudulent charges on any of your accounts, notify your bank. If you contact the bank as soon as you notice fraudulent charges or withdrawals, you may be able to reduce your liability. You should also contact the police and file a police report.

The likelihood that you and your family will recover from an emergency tomorrow often depends on the planning and preparation done today.

BENEFICIALLY SPEAKING By Connie Crosby
Another scam A lady brought in an offer to me. It was addressed to her at her correct address and was a folded “FINAL NOTICE” that they were holding a reward for her worth up to $500. The notice stated that they had been trying to contact her. It said final notice and your immediate attention was requested. They want you to call them to claim your reward for up to $500 at certain stores. They wanted information from the person. A picture of a check (It looks like a check made out to you, but states that it is not a check) is part of the page. This is a scam. They want information from you. Do not call the toll free number. Open enrollment around the corner Annual Open Enrollment for Medicare Part D and the Medicare Advantage Plans will be coming soon. Dates you can change your plans for the next year are October 15 through December 7, 2015 for the new plans to be effective on January 1, 2016. If you are on a Traditional Medicare Supplement and/or the Wisconsin SeniorCare Program and do not wish to make any changes, you do not need to do anything during this time. Please read all of the information you will be receiving if you are on a Medicare Advantage Plan, Cost Plan or Medicare Part D Plan. Companies can make a lot of changes to their plans for the next year. Changes may include your plan leaving this service area and no longer being available, changing the premiums or co-pays, changing the formulary of medications covered and changing restrictions on medications. Your medical provider and/or pharmacy may no longer be in your plans network. These are all things you need to watch for. If you are in a Medicare Advantage Plan, and that plan (either the company offering the plan or the plan that you are in) goes away, then you have several choices. 1. You have guaranteed issue into a Traditional Medicare Supplement. The supplement cannot turn you down because of preexisting conditions. (This is especially helpful for people who have health problems and a lot of co-pays.) 2. You can change to another Advantage Plan with the same company or another company. 3. You can choose to go with a Cost Plan. These plans have networks and if you use network providers it costs you less, and if you go out of network you pay the traditional Medicare co-pays and deductibles. (The company may have different plans with different copays.) 4. You can go back to Traditional Medicare and pay your own deductibles and co-pays. Reviewing your Medicare Part D prescription drug plan is always a good idea because not only can the plans change, but your medications may have changed, too.
Hospice care provides compassion and support at a time when it’s needed the most.

There are many reasons to return to work or continue working after you have elected to receive Social Security benefits. You may not be able to afford to retire, you may find that you want to stay engaged in your work, or perhaps you feel called to a different career after you retire. Whatever the reason, understanding the special rules that apply can help you figure out what makes the most sense in your situation. The type of Social Security benefits discussed in this article are often referred to as Title II benefits, which are based on your work history or your spouse/ex-spouse’s work history. Almost everyone becomes entitled to receive payments based on their own or another’s work cred-

In addition, connect and learn from others experiencing the same frustrations and challenges as you. Contact Carrie Myers at 877-4852372 for more information.
its at age 62 (early retirement age). If you elect to receive early retirement benefits at age 62 (as nearly one-half of Americans do), the amount you receive each month is reduced up to 25-30 percent of what you would receive if you waited until your full retirement age (see www.ssa.gov/ planners/retire/retirechart.html#chart to determine your full retirement age). You will be locked in to this reduced amount for the rest of your life. If you elect early retirement benefits between age 62 and your full retirement age, the percent reduction decreases as you get closer to your full retirement age. Likewise, if you elect to take your benefits after your full retirement age, your benefits increase. There are no further increases to your benefits after age 70, so there is no financial advantage to delaying
benefits beyond age 70. So, what happens if you work after you elect your Social Security benefits? There are three scenarios: 1) you are under your full retirement age; 2) it is the calendar year that you reach your full retirement age; or 3) it is the month you reach your full retirement age or thereafter. If you are under your full retirement age, you get to keep the first $15,720 (in 2015) you earn that year. For every $2 you earn over the $15,720 limit, Social Security will withhold $1. Withholdings will be returned to you over time after you reach your full retirement age. During the calendar year you reach your full retirement age, you get to keep the first $41,880 (in 2015) you earn that year. For every $3 you earn over the $41,880 limit, Social Security will withhold $1.

All the thoughts, prayers, hugs, tears, cards, flowers, donations, food, and other selfless contributions are shining examples of the tremendous impact this beautiful woman had on everyone that was granted the privilege of knowing her during her brief time among us.

They worked with other faithful leaders from around the world, caring for others and making new friendships. The Gathering was a time of change and growth because we gathered in the presence of God’s Spirit with others who journey with Jesus.

For each additional + 5,408 + 5,408 and +7,696 + 451 + 451 and + 642 household member, add Application forms are being sent to all homes with a notice to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households must fill out the application and return it to the school (unless notified at the start of the school year that children are eligible through direct certification). Additional copies are available at the office in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by agency or other program officials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. To obtain free or reduced price meals for children in a household where one or more household members receive FoodShare, FDPIR, or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash benefits, list the household member and the FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number, list the names of all school children, sign the application, and return it to the school office. For the school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meals of households not receiving FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 cash benefits, the household must provide the following information requested on the application: names of all household members and the adult signing the application form must also list the last four digits of his or her Social Security Number or mark the “I do not have a Social Security Number” box. Also, the income received by each household member must be provided by amount and source (wages, welfare, child support, etc.). Under the provisions of the free and reduced price policy, Karen Miller, Determining Official, will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent/guardian wishes to make a formal appeal, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to: Joni Burgin, Superintendent, Grantsburg School District, 480 E. James Ave., Grantsburg, WI 54840. Phone 715-463-5499. If a hearing is needed to appeal the decision, the policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make the household eligible for reduced price meals or free meals if the household income falls at or below the levels shown above, and they may reapply at that time. Children formally placed in foster care are also eligible for free meal benefits. Foster children may be certified as eligible without a household application. Households with foster children and non-foster children may choose to include the foster child as a household member, as well as any personal income available to the foster child, on the same application that includes their non-foster children. The information provided by the household on the application is confidential. Public Law 103-448 limits the release of student free and reduced price school meal eligibility status to persons directly connected with the administration and enforcement of federal or state educational programs. Consent of the parent/guardian is need for other purposes such as waiver of text book fees.

Pirates get season opening victory BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS
CUMBERLAND—The Grantsburg Pirate football team opened up the football season on the road, taking on the Cumberland Beavers, and it was a 28-6 victory for the Pirates. “It was a nice way to open up the season for our guys, especially with the number of new starters we have this year,” says head coach of the Pirates, Adam Hale. Grantsburg got on the scoreboard first when Jaeger Staeven crossed the goal line. Avery Fagerberg kicked the point after, giving the Pirates a first quarter lead of 7-0. Cumberland scored in the second quarter, but the point after try flew wide left. The Pirates found paydirt twice in this quarter, both on the ground from quarterback Dakota Schultz. Again Fagerberg kicked the ball threw the uprights. The Pirates held a commanding 21-6 at the half. Grantsburg scored again in the third quarter. Again it was Schultz running in the TD with Fagerberg putting the PAT through the uprights.
This ended the scoring for this game with the Pirates on top 28-6. “I thought both of our quarterbacks (Avery Fagerberg and Dakota Schultz) did a nice job managing the game for their first varsity action at the position, and our offensive line executed well at times,” Hale added. The offensive running game was very balanced with Leo Chenal leading the charge gaining 51 yards. Next up was Schultz with 46 yards. John Chenal tallied 38 yards for the night. Staeven and Fagerberg each rumbled for 32 yards. But it was the defense winning this game for Grantsburg. John Chenal led the team in tackles with five solos and eight assists. Leo Chenal wasn’t far behind with four solos and five assists. Fagerberg had the pads on tight and had four solo tackles and four assists as did Schultz. Austin “Bubba” Bowman had three solos with eight assists from the interior of the line. “Defensively I thought we were in the right spots all night long,” Hale said. “We have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball, and our defense must improve in tackling to be ready for a tough road game at Frederic next Friday.”
Tigers drop season opener BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers started their 2015 season opener with a big bang as Kyle Matrious grabbed the opening kickoff and scampered 83 yards down the near sideline for a Tiger touchdown. Grant Preston followed up with a successful point after touchdown and Webster was up 7-0 in just 15 seconds of play. But this didn’t phase the Clayton Bears as they scored three touchdowns in the remaining minutes of the first quarter, en route to a 68-19 win on Friday night. Clayton quarterback Kyle Berghammer fired 20 passes, 15 of which were completions and six were for touchdowns. Tiger quarterbacks were two for 11, good for five yards. When asked who surprised him that night, Coach Jovin Kroll complimented his special teams as they were able to score two of their three touchdowns on kickoff returns. As mentioned Matrious got the first and late in the second quarter, Frank Deblase ran one back 78 yards for a score. The PAT after this touchdown was no good. Webster got their last score in the fourth quarter when Deblase ran the ball in from a yard out. The two point conversion play failed. “Clayton is a senior-laden team,” said Coach Kroll “and they play well together. We have a lot of inexperienced kids and we will work that as a positive thing. There are two weeks

before conference starts.” “Simeon Wilson also surprised me with his toughness and the seniors kept things together even though we were losing. I like the character of this team and also the support of the parents. When things get ugly, they really get ugly, but the parents are behind us and they keep on supporting us.” Frank Deblase led the Tigers in rushing with 41 yards on 15 carries. On the defensive side of the ball, JC Matrious had five tackles as did Jordan Larson. Larson also had two assists. Grant Preston had three tackles with two assists. Frank Deblase made three tackles with Simeon Wilson and Alec Ralph each getting two tackles and an assist. The Tigers travel to Turtle Lake on Friday to meet the Lakers in a 7 p.m. game.
SIREN—Siren junior Kayla Eideh has joined the ranks of the Siren 8-man football roster. “I wanted to do something that would help me stay in shape for the other sports I’m involved in — basketball and track,” Eideh explained. “And volleyball just wasn’t doing it for me.” Being the only female in a male-dominated sport could be intimidating but in the three weeks the Dragons have been lacing up the pads, Eideh hasn’t found that to be the case. “The guys are treating me like ‘One of the guys,’” she explained. “They are teaching me parts of the game or if I don’t understand something in practice, I can turn to any of them and ask a question — they are trying to help me the best they can.” She would prefer to playing running back, a notion her coach didn’t disabuse her of. “I can’t catch — can’t catch anything at all,”
Kayla Eideh she said with a laugh. She has played safety and defensive back some in practice. In fact, she took down 6-6 senior Neil Oustigoff during a kick-off return in practice last week. “She’s not afraid to get in there and mix it up with the boys,” Ryan Karsten, head coach pointed out. “This isn’t some publicity stunt.” Eideh said her classmates are supportive of her choice to play football. As far as coaching the team, Karsten said having Eideh on the squad is not making much of an
impact. “Other than changing in a different locker room, she’s just one of the guys,” he said. “She gets no preferential treatment — she runs the sprints, she does all the hitting drills, all the conditioning drills, she’s just treated like one of the guys.” Her joining the team didn’t surprise Karsten too much. “We had talked about it, and one her bigger goals was to get in shape for the basketball season,” he explained. Of course, being girls basketball coach as well as football coach, the decision tickled Karsten. “As we talked, we realized if she were serious, playing football was her best option,” he added. “By the end of the season, she’ll be in the best shape of her life.” The Dragons have already begun the 2015 campaign but those wanting to see Eideh in action in person can see her Friday, Sept. 4 when the Dragons host the Red Raiders from Bruce.

Dragons win opener BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
CAMERON—”I thought we started slow. We had a game plan and it took us sometime to get it going,” said Siren Dragon head coach Ryan Karsten after his team defeated the Mellen Granite Diggers 46-20 on Saturday in the opening game of the Lakeland 8-Man conference. “Scrimmaging Luck and Prairie Farm doesn’t help with execution. This was really our first game/scrimmage. I didn’t know what would work and what we would do well. We had success last year, but are missing our best lineman and our quarterback.” Siren got things going in the first quarter when Keenan Cook intercepted a Granite Digger pass on the Mellen three
yard line and crossed the line in a couple of steps. The two-point conversion failed. Mellen came back and scored on a nine yard pass and their conversion also failed. Neil Oustigoff recovered a Mellen fumble in the “Digger” end zone for six and Josiah Wegner ran for the two-point conversion and the Dragons were up again, 14-6. Siren extended their lead in the second quarter on a five-yard Wegner run. Cook ran for the conversion and at the half, the Dragons were up 22-6. Oustigoff scored twice in the third frame on passes of eight and 46 yards from Dolan Highstrom. Brady Mangen ran for both of the conversions and the Dragons held a commanding 38-6 advantage after three periods of play. Mellen made it interesting in the last
quarter, scoring twice — a one yard plunge and a 41 yard pass play. Only one of the conversions was good, 38-20 Siren. The Dragons finished the game with a three yard run by Highstrom. Kayla Eideh made the conversion and the final was 46-20. “It is going to take some time for us to find our identity,” continued Coach Karsten. “I think we had six different kids rush the ball and four kids play quarterback. We learned a lot from the game and we will use that this week at practice to hopefully play better this Friday in Winter.” “A few kids stood out for me on Saturday. Neil Oustigoff had a defensive TD on a fumble recovery, two interceptions, and two receiving touchdowns. He also had six tackles, a very nice game for the senior. He stepped up and was a leader
Saturday. “Logan Meagher, a sophomore, had a great day on defense. He had three tackles for loss, three other tackles and ran the ball well as the starting tailback. It was a great start for the sophomore and I hope to see that effort again this week in Winter.” “Keenan Cook led us on defense and had an interception for a touchdown.” “Dolan Highstrom, a sophomore quarterback, threw for two touchdowns in his first start.” “The four juniors and one sophomore line (Brady Mangen, Bailey Mangen, Max Lindquist, Garret Hunter and Noah Koball) found their groove for us in the second half and led us to rush for more that 300 yards as a team Saturday.” Game time for the Dragons at Winter is 7 p.m. Friday.

Reconciliation Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to be reconciled to this world was so intense that he gave up his only son to make it so. Therefore, we who represent him must also be about the work of reconciliation. That means we must ask the Holy Spirit for the courage to be completely honest with ourselves. We must become fully accountable for our actions and be entirely willing to make amends when we have caused hurt to another person. And we must always be on alert for opportunities in which we can act as ambassadors
of forgiveness for our Lord. We must be rigorous in judging our own actions and motives but we must be gracious towards the words and actions of others. We do not condone or overlook bad behavior, however, we will always try to interpret the word and behavior of others in the most favorable light. When there is a breach in your relationships with others and you are at a loss as how to make it right, remember these two things. First, it is in the nature of Satan to divide and conquer. He will therefore always try to
cause despair to fall around the breach and lead the parties to believe it can never be overcome. Second, with God, all things are possible. Put all your broken relationship in His hands, ask for guidance on what you are to do at the moment and await for Him to work out the details. Stay on the path of reconciliation and let the outcome rest in His hands â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is always the best way to go. The grace of God cures disharmony and disorder in human relationships.

BY BRIAN JOPEK LAKELAND TIMES
PRESQUE ISLE—With fundraising for a veterans memorial in Presque Isle now well underway, officers of the Wilderness Veterans Memorial’s foundation have determined one of the last two flags to fly over the shrine will honor Marine Corps Sgt. Carson Holmquist. Holmquist, a native of Grantsburg, was one of four United States Marines killed by Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez July 16 at a Navy operations support center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The other Marines killed were Staff Sgt. David Wyatt, Lance Cpl. Skip Wells and Gunnery Sgt. Thomas J. Sullivan. A fi fth member of the U.S. military critically wounded in the attack, U.S. Navy Petty Officer Randall Smith, died of his wounds a few days later. The foundation’s Jim Stober, a member of Presque Isle’s American Legion Post and treasurer of the memorial foundation, said he was attending the Wisconsin American Legion Convention in Appleton, staffing an information booth for the memorial, when news of the shooting reached him. “I immediately started to spread the word among the attendees at the convention the foundation would be using all donations received during the convention for the purpose of installing the names of all five service members on the memorial’s Wall of Honor,” Stober said. “American Legion members attending the convention soon answered the call generously, giving sufficient funds to have all five names engraved on the memorial.” The foundation’s president, John Gorrilla, said honoring veterans is the essence of the memorial. “The Wilderness Veterans Memorial Foundation is proud to add the names of these heroes to the more than 100

names which already have been submitted by friends and families,” he said. “It matters not where a veteran comes from, we welcome the opportunity to be able to honor them on the Wilderness Memorial.” The flag for Holmquist will be one of nine flags displayed at the memorial. Stober, an Air Force veteran, lost his younger brother Herbert during the Vietnam War and his father was a prisoner of the Japanese during World War II. “On a personal basis, I have experienced the pain the family of Sgt. Holmquist and the greater community of Grantsburg is experiencing,” he said. “Carson was one of ours, he is a Wisconsinite, and we all feel the loss. Our Wisconsin flag will fly at the memorial in his remembrance.” Stober said the foundation welcomes donations for the Holmquist Wisconsin flag memorial.
