Helping a family in crisis BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—A divorced mom raising two kids and who’s working two jobs to make ends meet is a classic case of what happens to a woman when she’s left behind to fend for herself and her kids. It’s a scene which probably is replayed throughout Burnett County, the State of Wisconsin and the country as a whole. In Danyel Visger’s case, the 17 year-old daughter of said woman, has decided that something has to be done for these single parents who struggle to raise their kids if another parent leaves the home. “There is no reason kids like myself should have to suffer or go hungry,” she stated. Fortunately, the kids haven’t gone hungry too many nights. “My mom (Lisa Tijerina) will bounce a check to buy food to get us by but only because the store manager will hold the check until payday because he knows her,” Visger continued. “It’s hard to watch my mom kill herself working so much and we never see her.” And that’s not hyperbole on Visger’s part.

Transplant gives Christensen a second chance BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
A&H—Hope. It’s the emotion which puts the fire in the eyes of Don Christensen and gives him reason for getting out of bed each morning eager to face another day. When Christensen, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1996
and confined to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic since 2004, learned a new medication to combat the MS had a 90 percent mortality rate, he did his homework and concluded a stem cell transplant was what was in his best interest. The catch was that because the procedure is new and experimental, he couldn’t get this treatment
within the United States nor would his insurance recognize the treatment. So, following a benefit on Valentines Day to help Christensen cover the expense, he was off to Panama in April. SEE TRANSPLANT, PAGE 7
Travis Morse, Jr., Lisa Tijerina, and Danyel Visger
“Lisa recently started to get chest pains due to the high amount of stress in life due to all the bills, her employment and the loss of a few good friends who have passed on,” she reported. “She’s hoping that they caught whatever it is soon enough that it can be fixed.” Her story just does not have any bright spots. “We are struggling so bad it’s to the point where we got our gas to cook shut off and with our garbage SEE VISGER, PAGE 6
Acquisition good for Kleiss Gears BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—Even though Kleiss Gears in Grantsburg was acquired by Victrex USA earlier this summer, not a whole lot will change for the gear-making facil-

Thankful People are often curious when I find the time to write a weekly column — let alone come up with the material for said columns. In a perfect world, I’d write all of my columns on Wednesday — it is my most relaxing work day of the week because that week’s paper is at the shop being printed and there’s not a lot of pressure. Topic-wise, I try to balance my columns between items I come across in completing my work as news editor as well as what might be happening in my personal life. Some weeks the topic is a no-brainer and the words and ideas flow like water — other weeks I have to wait patiently for inspiration to strike. That was somewhat tongue-in-cheek because if you know me at all, you know patience is not one of my virtues. The column you are reading wasn’t cobbled together on Wednesday — I didn’t meet with Don Christensen until Friday and he was the inspiration for this week’s column. For those of you who don’t know Don, he is a quadriplegic of more than 10 years and he is also battling multiple sclerosis. Don is an amazing man. While you and I don’t give Seems getting out of the car a second to Me thought, it takes Don and one of Todd Beckmann his caregivers 20 minutes to get out of the van and ready for the next thing. It is so easy to get caught up in our lives that we take our health for granted. Watching and visiting with Don brings that perspective. Instead of being bitter, resentful and full of selfpity, Don is using his handicap to help his fellow man. Before being confined to a wheelchair, Don was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt. Since, he has developed a website designed to show other handicapped hunters that their love of hunting needn’t go by the wayside just because of their handicap. In fact, he has assisted numerous hunters bag that trophy whitetail or prized tom turkey. When he discovered a medicine he was taking for his MS had a 90 percent chance of killing him, he took that same can-do attitude and researched alternatives until he decided a stem cell transplant was his best option. Off to Panama City in April he went for the experimental treatment and while he can’t walk, yet, he is showing signs of marked improvement. Like making a loose fist with one hand or applying pressure with his fingers when you attempt to shake his hand. Never one to take things at face value, it’ll be interesting to follow his progress in this most recent battle. Thanks Don, for reminding me I need to be thankful for the little things.

Time to go for a walk? I took that back yard for granted. Just before midnight on Aug. 22, I decided that it was too stuffy in the house and went downstairs to turn on the blower fan on the furnace. As I came downstairs, I heard a series of what sounded like gunshots. My wife followed me downstairs and heard the sounds as well. From the We went outside Publisher’s and saw that the large oak tree on Desk the south side of the house had split Tom Stangl and fallen in opposite directions. One half of the tree was resting in our back yard, the other half in our neighbors’ yard. The area behind our back door was completely blocked. After checking that our neighbors were OK, we were shaken but grateful that the damage was contained and everyone was safe. The next morning, we saw the extent of the damage and realized that we could no longer let our dogs out to the fenced-in back yard. So, it was once again time to get the leads and doggie bags and go for a walk. My two dogs, George and Gracie, were found abandoned at six weeks
old and we adopted them from a local shelter. We were told they were from the same mother, but had different fathers. Yorkie-Maltese and Yorkie Terrier mixes, the two are the size of large cats. We have worked with them to get over their fear of other dogs and people, but still struggle to keep them calm on walks. This all came flooding back to me last week as I began taking them for morning, noon and evening walks. On the first day, an empty bag of potato chips triggered their barking. Yes, an empty bag of chips, rolling in the breeze was seen as a threat. As the days have progressed, we seem to be building up a small amount of tolerance for people and other dogs. It is still a struggle to control the two as they pull for all they have as we walk. It is amazing how strong they are and how their leverage can pull. Before we bought our home, I had to walk the dogs every day, logging at least two miles. This go round, I have a Jawbone bracelet that monitors my steps and my sleep. I have a goal of 4,500 steps, something that was difficult to achieve with the sedentary job I have at the paper. Since the tree blew down, I have beaten the goal every day, averag-

ing over 5,000 steps, which is over three miles. All of this because I need to walk my dogs and pick up their waste. I guess the second silver lining in the tree fall is getting out and walking. The dogs get more exercise, I get more exercise and I have gotten to know some folks in the neighborhood. By the time you read this, hopefully the tree has been removed and the dogs will once again have access to their back yard. I’m hoping to continue some of the walks, but I know that unless I am forced to do so, I will take the easy way out and simply open the back door. But I have a feeling that George and Gracie will have different ideas. They know where the leads are stored, and will go to them and give me the look. “Can we go for a walk?” their eyes will plead. There’s only so many times you can turn that down without feeling like the worst person on earth. 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.

If it looks like a slush fund and acts like a slush fund… In the economic real world beyond the Capitol in Madison, there has been a fair amount of discussion about government intervention in the economy. Do tax breaks for some industries but not others, grants to some businesses but not their competitors and direct government loans actually work? Should political appointees use your tax dollars to pick winners and losers? The agency charged with steering economic development in our state since 2011, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), is at the heart of that debate. Launched on the same day as Governor Walker’s first state budget, WEDC has overseen economic development as a quasi-private agency controlling millions of taxpayer dollars in loans, tax credits and grants. WEDC, we were told, would lead the state’s job creation efforts and help fulfill the Governor’s promise to add 250,000 new private sector jobs. Instead, under WEDC, Wisconsin has trailed the nation and all of our neighbors in private sector job gains. Surrounded by states with four very different partisan leaderships and vastly different budget conditions, our failure to match even a single one of them stands out. The Governor has washed his hands of the agency he created. He signed a budget that formally removed him as its Chairman. The CEO of WEDC, who was drawing a taxpayer-funded salary of nearly $200,000, recently announced his resignation. Now is the time for a serious examination of why this agency failed. The respected and non-partisan Legislative Audit Bureau has completed two audits of the policies, practices and finances of WEDC. The audits found a disturbing trend of WEDC distributing our families’ tax dollars without required safeguards, reporting and repayment. Among the Bureau’s findings, WEDC did not create or follow policies required by law to ensure that businesses seeking tax credits were qualified. In some cases where state law requires jobs to created or retained, WEDC did not include that requirement in contracts or track the success effectively. WEDC reduced its balance of potentially uncollectable loans largely by writing them off, at taxpayer expense. WEDC did not collect or maintain data to reliably show the success of their loans. For those of us in Northern Wisconsin, WEDC has been an especially poor tool for job creation and retention. Our communities saw a scant two percent of the agency’s awards.
One of the audit’s most important findings was the WEDC didn’t require or track job creation in every case required by law. Of the grants and loans WEDC did track, the agency itself says less than half of the job creation targets were met statewide. In our area, the track record is even worse. WEDC itself says its grants and loans resulted in only eight percent of the jobs that were supposed to be created in our Northern communities. Recently I was happy to highlight home-grown companies dedicated to success in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the excellence, innovation and industriousness demonstrated by workers and businesses in Janet Northern Wisconsin has not been Bewley matched by the agency Gov. Walker put in charge of the state’s economic District 25 fortunes. Senator Back when this idea was first put forward my colleagues and I proposed numerous changes to the original legislation. We argued for more accountability and transparency to ensure that we weren’t creating a slush fund backed by Wisconsin families’ hard-earned tax dollars. This lack of accountability and transparency was highlighted by a media investigation that uncovered a loan that WEDC made to one of the Governor’s campaign contributors even though the business was clearly not qualified. WEDC’s failure to effectively track taxpayer dollars makes it nearly impossible to counter the appearance of favoritism based on campaign support. The Governor and legislative leaders seem content to leave our state’s economic fortunes in the hands of an ineffective agency that lacks the accountability and oversight to demonstrate that it isn’t a slush fund. I serve on the Legislature’s Joint Audit Committee. The committee will be meeting in early September to review the Audit Bureau’s findings. The audits contained well-reasoned recommendations for improvements at WEDC. Unfortunately, the problems with WEDC may be beyond fixing. I think it’s time to pull the plug on this failed experiment.
P lan the
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Careful with words
Dear Editor: As a three-year (now full-time) area resident, I love reading the Burnett County Sentinel. However, this week I was surprised and disturbed by the use of “latest money-making scheme” in describing the St. Croix tribe’s consideration of a new cannabis oil business (“Cannabis oil facility in the works?” page 6). This obviously shows negative bias, if not bigotry, towards the tribe, especially when compared to the glowing welcome of three new retail businesses on page one. And if the editors still want to use that descriptive phrase, then it belongs on the Opinion page. While marijuana production and use is illegal in Wisconsin, last year Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill legalizing a certain cannabis-derived drug for the treatment of seizure disorders in children. It is not unreasonable for a forward-thinking business to consider the prospect of marijuana being legalized here or laws allowing for interstate transport, e.g., to Minnesota where it is partially legal. Marijuana is now legal in 23 states for medicinal use and four states for recreation use, plus the District of Columbia for both. Granted, legalization of marijuana requires thoughtful consideration and is layered with emotion — all the more reason for the Sentinel to be careful with its words. Thank you. Lynn Schmidtke Danbury
STROLL THROUGH THE PAST By Eunice Kanne
On February 15, 1900, this list appeared in the Sentinel on the 25th anniversary of the establishment of that paper. In 1875: •Grantsburg is a town of loafers. •It was estimated 8,000,000 feet of logs were floated down the Wood River. •Grantsburg had mail from Rush City on Monday and Friday and from St. Croix on Friday. •The county board let contracts for stone, lumber and material to build a courthouse. •The county board designated the home of Carl Lund of Trade Lake as the place to hold the first election in the Town of Trade Lake. •There was one mill, two general stores, one photographer, one stage line, one saloon and one hotel that advertised in the local paper — Sentinel, February 28, 1890

August rain helped crops BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
BURNETT COUNTY— Timely summer rains have continued into August, breaking the late summer drought pattern of the past five years. The rain is keeping hopes high for an excellent harvest. Many parts Burnett County recorded two to three inches of rain in the past week, and six to seven inches so far in August. Tuesday morning, Burnett Dairy Co-op Agronomist Pete Krueger said, “We haven’t quite completed the growing season, but things are looking good. “The limiting factor now is temperature,” he added. “We’ll have
cool days this week, but it looks like it’s going to warm up again next week. That will help bring this corn along.” It was an excellent year for small grains, he said. “Some winter wheat fields in the county have yielded more than 80 bushels per acre. “It is still too early to project yields on corn,” Krueger said. “So many things need to happen yet. The grain needs to fill, and back layer, and seal itself and dry down. “The corn looks good. It looks healthy. We should have some pretty decent yields this year.” Soybeans yields are even tougher to figure out, he says. “They’re potting up nice now. They’re at R6,
which is full seed. That means we’re about 20 days from the beans being mature. “It looks like soybean harvest will be about the third week of September. My counterpart here said he saw some beans turning yellow, which indicates those beans are maturing down and life cycle done for the year.” Despite the early planting this year, harvest is on schedule, not ahead, due to cold April and May weather. More rain would help, Krueger concluded. “We could still use timely rains for next two to three weeks as these crops mature,” he concluded.
VISGER: Teenager trying to help her family CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
bill unpaid the garbage is piling up in the garage,” Visger recounts. “We were able to talk with her on the cell phone every chance we could but they shut that off too.” Visger said that ever since her mom’s divorce and lost her dad’s income, the family has not been able to meet their monthly bills. “She tries so hard and I want to help her by getting a job but mom said ‘We’ll make it,’ and she wants me to concentrate on school” she remarked. “Meanwhile, the foreclosure letters keep coming in, the disconnect notices for the lights keep coming and they actually came here to disconnect and mom cried and pleaded with them not to shut us off — I actually paid our cell phone bill out of my own money one month to help mom.” So can’t the government help? According to Visger, Burnett County has told the family that it makes too much money to qualify for food stamps. “Excuse me, ‘She makes too much to feed her kids?,’” she exclaimed. “Mom makes $10 an hour and she is raising two teenage kids here. ‘Do they not know we eat — and a lot?’”
Visger said there have been times when her mom goes without so she and her brother don’t have to. She said it isn’t fair. “I watch all this food and other supplies go to other countries (and I’m not saying this because of prejudice) but we feed other countries more than we feed our young Americans,” Visger observed. “What kind of country is this? Starve our own and feed the rest?” Visger wonders if there really are people who help complete strangers in crisis. “Like my mom always told me, ‘They are out there. You can’t tell which person it is but they are there,’” she said. “My mom’s one of them — she would give you her last dollar if she knew you needed it more than her.” It’s obvious it’s currently a no-win situation for the family so Visger has taken it upon herself to do something about it and has launched a fundraising campaign through Give Forward. “When I first talked to mom about what I had done she started to cry,” Visger noted. “I thought she was mad about it but she told me she wasn’t and that was crying because she is just under so much stress.”

She said that her mom said if it works out great but don’t count on it too much as she had tried in the past but nothing ever came of it. “She said she’s very appreciative of me doing this for her,” Visger pointed out. At one point, Visger said her mom asked how I found those fundraising sites. “I looked at her and said ‘Seriously mom? I’m a kid, I find everything,’” she said with a laugh. Her fundraising page at Giveforward.com can be found at http:// gfwd.at/1HiBZG8. Jay Foot, Director of Communications for Giveforward, said Visger’s is a classic case of what happens to a woman without a whole lot of fancy background when she’s left behind to fend for herself and her kids. “As a GiveForward user, Danyel and all fundraisers get assigned a personal fundraising coach who they can work with to get tips on how to maximize and optimize their pages, Foot explained. “The coaches are highly trained, have social work backgrounds and really believe in the mission of helping people.”

KLEISS: Acquisition could lead to four-fold growth spurt in next five years challenging to work with in an injection molding facility like Kleiss Gears. “To help solve that part of the equation, we’ve been working very closely with Victrex,” she continued. “They’ve helped us and we’ve helped them to get PEEK into higher demand gearing applications. Since the two companies already had this working relationship when Kleiss Gears was looking to grow its company, it made sense to talk with Victrex. “It wasn’t that we wanted to sell and went out looking for a buyer — it wasn’t that at all,” Boerger stated. “It was just a really good fit.” With Victrex headquartered in Manchester, England, the obvious question is will the company leave town. “Not at all,” Boerger assured. She said the idea of moving the company was a deal-breaker all along.
“Kleiss Gears is so unique in what it does and how it does it — no one else in the world does gears like we do, and Victrex understands that,” Boerger pointed out. “You can’t just pick up and move — you’ll lose the talent, you’ll lose the specialization and I think they recognize this is a great area for the industry.” In fact, the gear-testing facility Victrex established 15 years ago in England is being shipped to Grantsburg. “It’s more evidence we are staying here,” Boerger remarked. The sale will not immediately impact the day-to-day business at Kleiss Gears. “We’re doing the same projects we did before — we are not dropping any customers, we are not changing existing projects and we’re going to meet all the obligations we did before,” Boerger reported. “Now, we will be able to focus on the high performance gears, the kinds
which are used in cars, engines — literally thousands of uses.” To that end, Kleiss Gears could see a three or four-fold growth spurt in the next five years. “We’ve a few personnel as a result of the acquisition but the big growth will probably happen in year two or three,” Boerger forecast. The growth could come in the form
of more employees, more equipment or both. “When you get into bigger projects, one piece of equipment will be “It’ll be a mix.” One thing is for sure, Kleiss Gears will be looking at another expansion. In addition to their own facility, they rent about two-thirds of Enterprise Building No. 2 in the Grantsburg Industrial Park and Boerger said they will need even more room. The timing couldn’t be better for Kleiss Gears founder Rod Kleiss, who is using the sale as a means to step away from the business. “He’s a consultant for us now but in his words, ‘The engineering team can do everything I can do,’” Boerger concluded with a laugh. “He’s been thinking about retiring for the last four or five years so this is perfect for him.”
TRANSPLANT: Trip to Panama for stem cells seem to be working for Christensen CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“Typically people who get the procedure start experiencing changes in six to eight weeks,” Christensen explained. “For me, within five minutes of starting the procedure, my lazy eye popped back into place.” But that was just the beginning. Leaving the Stem Cell Institute after the first day of treatment, Christensen told his caregiver that it must have rained while they were inside because the grass was green. His caregiver was adamant it had not rained. If that weren’t enough, when he was back at the condo he was staying at in Panama City, he was on the balcony and started seeing other colors he had missed earlier. “I could see details and colors where I couldn’t before — it was pretty wild,” he admitted. “About every hour after that first day of treatment a color came back — and I hadn’t even realized they were gone.” When he mentioned these changes to his doctor, Dr. Ana Lia Diez Garcia, she told him not to get too excited, that stem cells usually don’t work that fast. But after the second day of treatment, he had more success. “We exercise everyday and even though my fingers haven’t been able to move in 17 years, we still go through the motions,” he pointed out. “After the second day of treatment, my caregiver said she felt my thumb move.” Within a day or two, she was able to
feel the forefinger and the thumb move. And a couple weeks after being home, Christensen was able to hang his hand off his chair and was able to form a loose fist. Speaking of home, after four days of infusions, injections and intense physical therapy, his 10-day trip to Panama was complete. He went through a period where there weren’t these small daily changes but he realized he had stopped trying. “They don’t come free,” he quipped. He went back to trying and the small changes resumed. One day, he and one of his caregivers were doing their weekly exercising on the floor. “When we decided to get off the floor, both of my caregivers can lift together to get me to my feet,” he remarked. “But this time when I pushed up to get to an upright position, I was on my feet before I knew it.” His caregiver hadn’t helped like he thought, he had stood on his own. “The little changes had mellowed out,” Christensen reported. “But the everyday little changes had turned into a big change about every week.” All the movement is gravy because his doctor said her main goal was to get him off the medicine that was going to kill him. “The last time I quit the med, I quit for a week,” he recalled. “I couldn’t stand up and my legs shook so bad I had to go back on the medicine.” But he’s been off the medication now

since March. “It’s working,” he said of the stem cell transplants. “It’s an absolute miracle.” He was told ahead of time that as a complete quadriplegic in a power chair, the treatments may not do much for him. “I’ve actually heard them referred to as God-cells — they do make changes,”
Christensen noted. He’s a different person — he’s breathing better and he’s speaking better. “I’m rocking —I feel good,” he realized. He said the whole process, from the benefit on, everything has fallen into place. “It’s fate — it’s been a gift,” he reasoned. So what’s next? “Most people go back for another round of treatment after about a year and a half,” he explained. “That’s when the quadriplegics walk.” So is a return trip in the cards for Christensen? He admitted it’s a daunting possibility. “If it’s meant to work out, it’ll work out,” he opined. “I didn’t think it’d work the first time.” For the present, he’s not even considering what’s down the road. “I’m going to enjoy today and if I get through today, I’ll see what tomorrow brings,” he remarked. “I don’t think a return trip is in my control, I think what I need to do is keep fighting — this whole episode has given me a new lease on life.” He insists he’s not going to continue reacting to life. “I’ve been given this incredible gift,” Christensen concluded. “I can’t just sit around or go back to something little. I’ve got to do something big — I just haven’t found what it is yet.”

Jarchow listens to the voters BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—”Of the people, by the people and for the people,” is more than just a line from the Gettysburg Address to Adam Jarchow (R-Balsam Lake), 28th District Assemblyman. “I try to be as responsive to people as I can,” he said following a pair of town hall meetings last week. The assemblyman was making town hall-type visits to keep voters in the loop with news from Madison. “Right now, we are between the budget and the fall session,” he said. “I thought it would be a good time for a wrap up of what went into the budget and answer any questions or concerns as we head into the fall session.” Plus it keeps him accessible. “There are a lot of people in this district who are really smart and have a lot to offer,” Jarchow continued. “If they come to a town hall meeting and give me their perspective, it makes me a much better advocate for northern Wisconsin.” A sense of public service drove Jarchow to run for office. “I feel in a citizen legislature like we have it’s important for people to partic-
ipate,” he expressed.”People have to be willing to put their hat in the ring.” His time to participate came when former 28th Assemblyman Erik Severson announced he was not seeking re-election. “I was thrilled to have the opportunity to do this for awhile,” he pointed out. The operative word being “awhile.” He said one of the worst things the country has right now are career politicians. “They are just killing us because the thing they are most worried about is the next election,” Jarchow continued. That’s not so in his case. “I’ve kept my job (at a small law firm), and just travel to Madison to vote and do my job but then get back up north,” he added. “I believe in spending as much time in the district as I can.” To that end, Jarchow said four terms would be the most he would serve. “If the voters will have me for eight years, I’d be shocked if I’d be interested in doing more than four terms,” he remarked. “Then I’ll get out and it’ll be someone else’s turn.” Running for office is one thing but actually winning and taking office is another and has brought some political reality into Jarchow’s world.
Adam Jarchow
“Madison is an interesting place,” he agreed with a laugh. Never having served in government or holding political office, he said it was a lot like the old adage — you don’t want to watch the sausage being made. “It’s a little bit like watching sausage being made,” he shared. “Between the Assembly and the Senate, there are 133
people with a lot of differing ideas — big ego’s, big personalities, and very divergent interests and ambitions.” He said trying to cobble together 50 votes (a majority in the Assembly) on any given issue is really interesting. And then to get the Senate and ultimately the Governor on the same page takes some doing. Add in special interest groups, the bureaucracy, an interesting mix of characters in the state capital and even Madison itself being the city it is, all makes lawmaking a challenge. “It reinforces my belief how important it is to have representation from northern half of the state,” Jarchow reported. “With so many legislators from the southern half of the state, those of us in the north have to stand up and say any issue facing our constituents has to be addressed.” The other thing which surprised him was the amount of bipartisanship which takes place. “I had this perception the parties march in lockstep — the Republicans do what Governor Walker wants and Democrats do what President Obama wants,” he explained. “But that isn’t SEE JARCHOW, PAGE 9

MADISON—Law enforcement agencies across the state will be out in force to combat drunken driving during the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign which started Friday, August 21 and ends Monday. “Enforcement and educational efforts to prevent drunken driving, like the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign, have helped reduce deaths from alcohol-related crashes by approximately 51 percent and injuries by 55 percent over the last 10 years in Wisconsin,”

MADISON —The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources expanded its support to fire suppression efforts in other states this week with mobilization of a strike team including 17 firefighters and five engines to western Montana. During August, the pace of activity has increased significantly due to continued dry weather in the northwest U.S. DNR now has 30 staff members assigned to fires in California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Firefighting personnel and equipment provided earlier this summer to Alaska, Oregon, Washington Michigan and the province of Manitoba have returned home to Wisconsin. DNR personnel have assisted with a total of 29 different out-of-state wildfires this year. “DNR is proud to be able to provide staff and expertise to cooperative fire suppression efforts now

says David Pabst, director of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Bureau of Transportation Safety. Overtime for task force officers is covered by federal funding administered by the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. Impaired driving task forces typically notify the public in advance of their enforcement initiatives as a deterrent to drunken driving. “Law enforcement officers are well trained in identifying the signs of impaired driving, and they know where and when to look for drunken drivers,” Pabst says. “If drivers make the irresponsible and reckless decision to get behind the wheel while impaired, officers are ready to stop, test and arrest them. Last year, there were more than 24,000 convictions for operating while intoxicated in Wisconsin. However, our goal is to get people to drive sober, not to make more arrests.”

found in the same county for three years or in adjacent counties in two years, the ban can come off.” Another success he points to, although he admits it is somewhat controversial, is reform of the shore land zoning laws. “We protected shore land property owner rights, ensuring cabin owners will never be told by the government they can’t have a cabin on the lake,” Jarchow reported. “Plus, we adopted state-wide a rule about half the counties had adopted to protect our water.”

necessarily the case.” That said, the freshman assemblyman has had some success his first year in office. “In the state budget, I co-authored the repeal of the ‘Prevailing Wage’ requirement,” Jarchow announced. “What the ‘Prevailing Wage’ did was drive up the cost of public construction projects — some by as much as 25 percent — and some businesses wouldn’t even bother competing for the job.” He said he found that in our cur-
rent economic status, a 25 percent ‘premium’ was totally unacceptable. “Repealing the requirement will allow smaller businesses to compete for these projects and projects will be less expensive for smaller units of government,” he added. Jarchow also authored a bill, not yet passed, to ease the deer-feeding ban in effect in northwestern Wisconsin for the last five years or so. “The ban has given the DNR carte blanche authority,” he insisted. “My bill says if another case of chronic wasting disease is not

WISCONSIN BRIEFING ‘Don’t wait. Communicate.’
MADISON—Don’t Wait. Communicate. September is National Preparedness Month. Wisconsin Emergency Management’s ReadyWisconsin campaign says now is the perfect time to talk to everyone about getting ready for an emergency or disaster. “The most important step you can take today is to make a plan,” said Wisconsin Emergency Management Administrator Brian Satula. “As part of National Preparedness Month, we’re encouraging families to put together a plan that includes information on where to go during an emergency and how to communicate with loved ones if separated in a crisis.” This means having an up-to-date con-
tact list for those you may need to reach during a disaster and establishing alternate methods of communication in case traditional means are not available. Text messages are a great way to communicate. Phone voice service is easily overwhelmed due to the number of calls being placed and may be unavailable in an emergency. Cell phone text messages can still get through because they take less bandwidth to deliver. Also, calling long distance may be easier than making a local call. Ask a friend or family member to be your “out of town” contact. You can let that contact know you’re ok. That contact can then share that information with your loved ones.

Thanks to all the people who are sharing things from their gardens. We really appreciate receiving all the goods. Brats will NOT be sold on Labor Day Saturday during the Farmer Market. We did not get enough volunteers to help with the sale. It has been decided to serve an evening meal on Wednesday, September 2. I reported last week that the evening meal had been canceled. The last I knew we weren’t having the meal. I apologize to anyone who might have missed the evening meal. Call 715-3492845 for reservations. Thank you to the person who dropped off the denim shirt which had been misplaced. The owner of the shirt was glad to get it back. Have you seen how some of the leaves have already turned color? Hope this does not mean we are getting an early winter. Speaking of winter, it was announced in church that some of our snowbirds are leaving this week for warmer climates. Our 500 winners were Marion Obszarny, Dave Peterson, Nona Severson, Dean Elken and Candace Doriott. Spade winners were Laryn Larsen, Mary Sicard, Dwaine Bentley, Marie Bentley and Sue Newberger. The spade winner list from last week was never found. Enjoy Labor Day weekend and don’t forget the big yard sale at the park. This is a fund raiser for the Lions organization. I know you can get some good bargains.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
Liza and Tom are approximately six-month-old cats that were abandoned before being taken in by our shelter. They are both super sweet and affectionate and good with dogs. When I first met them, they were in the big condo in the shelter office where they could witness the hustle and bustle of people and other animals. I took each out separately and they just melted onto my lap while burying their little faces into my arm. Once back in their condo, they spooned with each other and groomed each other. Another couple of Tom felines that would be absolutely delightful adopted together. Tom is a talker, and I’m told he is so excited to see the staff in the morning while doing their routine duties (including feedings), that he sometimes talks with his mouth full. Tom is all black and Liza is a tabby. Like Liza and Tom, Shirley and Ginna were also abandoned kitties. These two are approximately 10-month-old tabbies and they are very loving girls (also good with dogs). Shirley came down immediately to say hello to me and eagerly pranced back and forth to get scratched. Shirley was taking a cat nap on her one-level tower and ignored me at first. The little kitten in the condo next to Shirley and Ginna’s was stretching her leg through the bars, reaching out to play footsie with Shirley. Although Shirley didn’t seem that enthused, she humored the young kitten and reached outside for a quick “first pump.” Finally Shirley noticed I was petting Ginna, so came down to join the fun. When I quit petting these two gals, they both laid down in front of the open door and proceeded to gently bump heads with me. It was really cute. Another duo that would be great fun to adopt together! Did you know that on August 17, it was “National Black Cat Appreciation Day?” Well it was, and we decided to extend that day as we have four wonderful black felines that you could show your appreciation to by adopting them — Orion, Flynn, Milo and Tom. All adoption fees for cats have been reduced to $50 each or two for $75. That is why I’m promoting adopting in pairs. Update: I just found out some important information on the Skipper and Professor from last week’s article ... they are BOTH declawed in the front. Yet one more set of cats that would be spectacular adopted together! If you are interested in adopting Liza, Tom, Shirley, Ginna, Orion, Flynn Milo, Skipper, Professor, 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.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2015
Some hunting seasons opened this week MADISON—Migratory game bird hunters are reminded that Sept. 1 marked the opener for mourning dove, early teal and early goose hunting seasons. An updated 2015 early teal, early Canada goose and mourning dove regulations pamphlet will give hunters an overview on the early teal, early goose and mourning dove seasons, shooting hours tables for each separate season, licensing and stamp requirements, state and Federal hunting regulations pertaining to migratory birds and an overview of the new Fields and Forest Lands Interactive Game bird Hunting Tool to help hunters find DNR managed dove fields and other upland game bird hunting opportunities. In 2015, the mourning dove hunting season will run from Sept. 1 to Nov. 29, and as in 2014, 20 days have been added to the end of the traditional 70-day dove hunting season. Dove hunters are encouraged
to check out the Fields and Forest Lands Interactive Game bird Hunting Tool. FFLIGHT helps hunters of all types locate young aspen and alder habitat, pheasant-stocked public hunting grounds, and managed dove fields. FFLIGHT also allows users to print maps and find GPS coordinates to assist in navigation and provides measuring tools to help estimate acreage and walking distance. Mobile users can use FFLIGHT on-the-go to find habitat suitable for the species they wish to pursue. Canada goose hunting in Wisconsin will begin with an Early September season Sept. 1-15, with a daily bag limit of five geese. Goose hunters will be required to slit or punch their goose permit and report their harvest using 1-800-99-GOOSE (46673) within 48 hours of harvest. During the early goose season, regulations apply statewide with no zone spe-
cific regulations. The department will also offer the second year of the three-year experimental early teal-only duck hunting season from Sept. 1-7, with a daily bag limit of six teal. Opening day shooting hours for the teal season will be 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and sunrise to 7 p.m. for the remainder of the season. Hunters will not be required to purchase any additional licenses or permits, other than those required for hunting ducks in the regular waterfowl season. While the early teal season is offered statewide, there are some state owned properties with special waterfowl hunting limitations. For example, Mead Wildlife Area does not allow waterfowl hunting prior to the regular duck season, and Lake Mills Wildlife Area (Zeloski Marsh) has unique shooting hour restrictions. Please check to see if the areas you hunt have any additional requirements or limitations.

Robert’s academic grades were outstanding, and he was very active in the school’s sports especially basketball and baseball. He then attended Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ, and received his Bachelor’s degree in 1943. He was an exceptional undergraduate receiving the highest of honors, and was very active in the university’s sports programs. He was a member of the Seton Hall basketball team that was invited and played in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) in 1943. His talents as a baseball player were noticed by professional scouts, and he was drafted by the Brooklyn Dodgers along with actor, Chuck Connors, his very good friend and basketball and baseball teammate from Seton Hall Prep School and University. Robert’s love for sports also carried over into other areas. He was a great tennis player and won the City of Detroit Tennis Tournament one year. He was also an avid amateur golfer participating in many events and tournaments. He was a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy serving during World War II, from October 13, 1943 to April 15, 1948, and then served in the U.S. Naval Reserves until 1954. Following graduation from medical school with a Doctor of Medicine degree in Psychiatry, he set up a private practice in Detroit, MI, and lived in Gross Point, MI from 1951 until the late 1970s. In 1979, Doctor Behan moved to Atascadero, California, and was employed at the Atascadero State Hospital. He retired from active practice in 2006. Following the death of his wife, the former Jean Young, in September 2013, Doctor Behan moved to the Webster area to be with his son. Robert is survived by a daughter, Kathleen M. (William) Ingwersen; sons, Robert C. (Barbara) Behan, Jr. and Richard L. Behan; grandchildren, Jacqueline Behan and Dylan Behan; also a step-daughter, Julie Turner and many nieces and nephews. Besides his parents and his wife, Doctor Behan is preceded in death a sister, Marjorie (Tom) McCoy; and brothers, Joseph Behan, during the battle of Pearl Harbor in 1944, and Richard Behan.

Lisa Anderson Todd MARCH 2, 1942 – JULY 24, 2015
Lisa Anderson Todd, 73, died on July 24, 2015 at a hospital in Philadelphia. She had gone there from her home in Washington, DC for treatment of Carcinoid, a type of cancer with which she was first diagnosed in 2004. A memorial service was held in Washington in early August at Luther Place Memorial Church with Pastor Karen L. Brau officiating. A smaller service was held with friends and neighbors at her summer home on Nantucket later in the month. Lisa’s connection to Grantsburg is through her father, Carl M. Anderson, who grew up there, and through her grandparents, H.A. and Emma Anderson, who lived in Grantsburg for many years and raised a large family there. She returned each summer for the annual Anderson Reunion, participated in the triathlon, and was a featured speaker at the Family Dinner. Her brother, a niece, and several cousins all have vacation homes on Big Wood Lake. Mrs. Todd was born and raised in Summit, New Jersey and graduated from Kent Place School in Summit. She received a Bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and a law degree from Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. Following law school, Lisa moved to Washington, DC to work with the United Planning Organization, the local receiving agency for anti-poverty program funding, and later as a lawyer in private practice. In 1983, she was appointed as an Administrative Law Judge on NASA’s Board of Contract Appeals. The NASA Board later merged with the Department of Defense Board from which she retired in 2006. In 2005, she received the Distinguished Alumnae Award from Kent Place School where she also served on the Board of Trustees. Following retirement, Lisa pursued a lifelong interest in civil rights by writing a book entitled “For a Voice and the Vote: My Journey with the Mississippi Democratic Party.” She had been a voter registration volunteer in Mississippi in 1964, and the book is not only a personal memoir, but a serious academic inquiry into the issues surrounding the seating of the Mississippi delegation at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. The book was published in December 2014. Lisa is survived by her husband, David C. Todd; her step-daughter, Alexandra Todd; and two grandchildren, all of whom reside in Washington, DC. She also leaves two brothers, two nieces, and numerous cousins, relatives and friends. Any memorials should be directed to the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, 333 Mamaroneck Avenue #492, White Plains, NY 10605, in memory of Lisa Anderson Todd.

Pirate runners place second in home meet BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—By all accounts, the Carlyle Sherstad Invitational in Grantsburg on Thursday, the first cross country meet of the high school season, is an event a lot of athletes don’t look forward to. With little over a week of practice prior to the race, some may wonder how the runners make it through the hilly course. “Just knowing I never have to run this course again was enough to get me through,” one anonymous senior quipped. The day was won by Spooner speedster Dan Pederson who distanced himself from the rest of the field and crossed the line in a time of 17:10.7. Locally, the Grantsburg Pirates tied for second with Unity/Luck, only six points behind front-runner North St. Paul. “There’s a lot of competition within our team — it’s kind of what I expected and it’s a good thing,” coach Andy Richardson noted. “Coming into today’s race, the entire season for that matter, we didn’t have any clear-cut top runners.” With only three seniors on the squad and one junior who didn’t run in Thursday’s meet, and the remainder being freshmen and sophomores, the coach has a pretty young team. “There will be a lot of competition for the spots,” Richardson reiterated. Sophomore Joseph Ohnstad was the first Pirate across the line in a time of 20:21.4, finishing seventh overall. “He had a good race —he looked strong,” the coach praised. Ohnstad was followed by Andy Hartshorn (11th in 21:22.1), Spencer Louis (13th in 21:32.5), Nate McKinley (14th in 21:37.0), Joe Duncan (15th in 21:37.2), Jackson Gerber (19th in 21:59.0) and David MacKean (23rd in 22:39.3). He said because the Sherstad is the first race of the season, he’ll use it as a baseline for the rest of the season. “For the next couple weeks we will be in training-mode — not focusing on the races, just getting a lot of miles in,” Richardson pointed out. In sixth place overall, Webster Tiger sophomore Joey Formanek was the team’s first finisher, posting a time of 20:15.8. He was followed by senior Darrick Nelson, who crossed the line in 23:42.5. “Joey, Darrick and Andrew (Ruiz) are the leaders of

this team,” coach Roy Ward praised. “Their actions speak volumes.” Speaking of Ruiz, the junior was conspicuously absent from the field of runners. “As Andrew would probably tell you himself, he made a stupid mistake (violating co-curricular code) and is paying the price with a one-meet suspension,” Ward explained. “In the huddle before the meet he told his teammates he was sorry and wished he was able to run.” Ward said they all bring something unique to the table. “They are each a year apart in school but share the leadership role very well,” he continued. The top two Webster runners were followed by Brett Johnson (34th in 23:42.8), Mason Schaaf (39th in 24:16.0), Hunter Erickson (42nd in 25.52.6), Dustin Kern (44th in 27.21.6) and Trent Gustafson (46th in 32:02.0). From a coaching perspective, the first race of the season is always a good one. “Whether the kids like it or not, it’s a wake up call for the rest of the season,” Ward reflected. “The kids who worked hard this summer will reap the benefits and those who didn’t will suffer.”
Girls The Lady Pirates also finished second, four points ahead of the Unity/Luck squad.

There are a majority of juniors on the team but two of the girls distance themselves from the rest of the team. “It was nice to see competition between Hallie (Jensen) and Brittanie (Blume),” Richardson pointed out. As a coach, he said it was a good thing to see. “It’ll be really good for Hallie — to go from being the clear-cut top girl runner to having someone who will push her,” he continued. “It should work out good for both of them.” In fact, Blume was the first Pirate across the line in a time of 23:30.5, finishing second overall — a pleasant surprise for her coach. “She ran the mile and had a really good track season last spring but this is the first time she’s ever run cross country,” Richardson concluded. “I figured it would carry over and it did,” Jensen was third in 23:49.7, followed by Grace Gerber (11th in 26:47.3), Maddie Duncan (16th in 28:28.4), Danielle Bertelsen (18th in 28:58.9, Holly Fiedler (20th in 29:59.5) and Alyssa Swenson (28th in 33:04.2). The Lady Tigers did not field a complete team for Thursday’s meet. Freshman Sam Nelson finished 8th in a time of 25:45.1, followed by Elizabeth Freymiller (32nd in 35:25.7) and Alyssa Hess (37th in 37:59.1). “Sam had a great first race,” Ward praised. “Our varsity girls are in a building stage — I am hopeful we can have a full team by the end of the season.”
Dragon football remains undefeated BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
WINTER—The Siren Dragons kept a zero in the loss column and added one more digit in the win column on Friday night with a 4434 win over the Winter Warriors. “It was a hard fought game between two teams that each could have won,” said Dragon coach Ryan Karsten. “We led 16-0 after one, gave up 22 points in the second to be trailing 22-16 at the half. We outscored them 28-12 in the second half.” “We were up 44-28 with three minutes to play and they scored a touchdown in the last two minutes to cut the score to 44-34, but we recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock to end the game.” “We ran the ball a bunch on Fri-
day night. Josiah Wegner, Keenan Cook, Brady Mangen, Tyler Anton and Logan Meagher all had a big part of our rushing attack. We rush over 70 times again and had at least 400 yards rushing. Their defense had three players over 260 pounds, so our offensive line really worked hard all night to make holes for the backs.” “I thought Tyler Anton and Keenan Cook had great nights on the defensive side of the ball. Each recorded over 10 solo tackles. They (Winter) had a couple of tough runners and I thought our defense, besides a couple of plays, played very well. I think our conditioning and experience from last year helped us not to over-react poorly from being up 16-0 to down 22-16 at the half.” “We corrected a few things, re-
focused ourselves on offense and executed our game plan. When we don’t beat ourselves, we think we can compete with every team that we play this year. When we don’t focus, execute, or perform to the best of our abilities, we have the ability to lose to anyone on our schedule. The power to be successful is in our hands, and I like that.” “We face No. 7 Bruce this week at home, our first home game of the year. Last year, it was the game of the year for us and we ended up losing the game, but showed we could play with one of the best teams in the conference.” “I expect Friday night to be a battle and the team that plays the best will win. I hope to see all our fans here to support the team.” Game time is 7 p.m.

Lakers stop Webster Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
TURTLE LAKE—“The kids played a little better tonight,” said Webster coach Jovin Kroll after his Tigers lost to the Turtle Lake Lakers 46-6 on Friday. “Offensively, we moved the ball a little more. The kids are starting to figure some things out, and I expect a good sized jump next Friday on that side of the ball.” “Defensively, we need to learn to make plays in space. We struggled to take a proper path at times, and didn’t finish some tackles; it was a better effort, but obviously still not good enough. The kids were in position to make a few plays; now they need to rise up and make them.” “Unfortunately, it took too long for our team to figure out that we could play with that team. One drive ended on the two yard line for us, we had the kick return that we fumbled at their one yard line, and a few gifted pick sixes just get flat out dropped.” Turtle Lake scored twice in the fi rst quarter and twice in the second quarter to take a commanding
32-0 lead into halftime. Jack Swenson ran the ball in from 12 yards out. A seven yard pass from Jonah Kahl to Erik Bauer were the tallies in the fi rst quarter. In quarter two, Kahl tossed a 42 yard TD pass to Cole Herzan and then the duo of Kahl-to-Bauer hooked up again for a 13 yard play. Swenson got on the board again in the third quarter, this time on a seven yard run. The Tigers got their lone score on a 42 yard run by Frank Deblase. The two point conversion pass play failed. In the final frame, Joe Schalley ran the ball across the end line for a 17 yard score. Taran Wols passed 13 times and completed five for 60 yards. Paul Sargent caught two passes for eight yards with Trenton Wols grabbing one for 24 and JC Matrious getting two for 28 yards. Frank Deblase rushed 18 times for 79 yards with Andrew Moritz going eight for 21 and Jordan Larson three for 18 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, Deblase had seven solo tackles with an assist. Grant Preston got seven to-

tal tackles, five being solos. Jordan Larson and Alec Ralph tackles six times, Larson having four solos and Ralph three. The team made 34 solo tackles and 45 assists. “I still believe we can fi x this; we can become hitters,” concluded the coach. The Tigers are host to Washburn/Bayfield/South Shore on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m.

FREDERIC—The Grantsburg football team traveled to Frederic Friday night to take on the Vikings. This was a non-conference match up between two old rivals, as Frederic has moved to the Lakeland South Conference, but you wouldn’t know it from the amount of fans that fi lled sidelines. The Pirates held the Vikings scoreless in the second half while scoring 21 themselves to take the win, 27-6. It was a strong defensive show from Grantsburg, holding the Vikings’ rushing game to 44 yards and 107 yards passing for the night. The Pirates ended their night rushing for 323 yards and throwing for 146. “A nice team win for our us as we shook off a sluggish start and had a good second half on both sides of the football,” Pirates head coach Adam Hale said. “Special teams miscues,
turnovers and penalties didn’t exactly help our cause and it was good to see our team overcome that and clean things up in the second half.” Grantsburg struck fi rst in the fi rst quarter as Leo Chenal found paydirt for the Pirate squad from 13 yards out. The point after went wide right. At the end of the quarter it was a 6-0 contest. Frederic tied the game up in the second quarter, with a score on the ground by QB Austin Ennis. The PAT was no good, and the teams were even 6-6 at the halfway mark. John Chenal gave the Pirates a lead in the third quarter on a 15 yard ramble to the end zone. Avery Fagerberg’s point after try went wide right again, but Grantsburg had the lead they needed, and when the quarter ended the score was 12-6. The fourth quarter belonged to the Pirates as they added 15 more points. Fagerberg ran one in from three yards out. He also took the two-point
conversion to put the Pirates up 20-6. Next up was Jaeger Staeven crossing the white line from four yards out Fagerberg’s PAT was good to make the score 27-6. “Austin Bowman, John Chenal and Jacob Wicklund had terrific nights for us defensively to help hold Frederic to under 50 yards rushing. I also thought Jaeger Staeven’s play at free safety was big for us as he limited Frederic’s deep passing game,” coach Hale noted. “Offensively, Avery Fagerberg did a great job running the offense and our offensive line (Covey, Moritz Watt, McEvers, Larsen) got better this week. Next Friday will be a big challenge for us as Unity has tremendous size and a strong defense.” The Pirates will open up conference play at home as they host the Unity Eagles Friday night in a 7 p.m. game.

OBITUARIES
MARRIAGES
Marjorie M j i E E. (Hedberg) (H db ) Sorensen Marjorie Emily (Hedberg) Sorensen, of Webb Lake died August 29, 2015. A Memorial Service for Marjorie was held on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at the Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home in Webster. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota to William and Esther Hedberg in 1930, Marjorie graduated from high school in Webster and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from the University of Wisconsin, Stout. Following graduation, she taught for one year in Drummond before marrying Frank and raising her family in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

Pastor Andy Bollant Siren Assembly of God Church
I went to my 35-year class reunion this last weekend in Winona, Minn. — time sure does go by fast. Many of my classmates are doing well. Some are doing better than I would have guessed. Some that didn’t take high school very seriously went on to be very successful. One of these classmates in particular even went on to post-secondary school for six to seven years to become a physician’s assistant. Others became paralegals, one a professor at a college, some school teachers, and one even an NFL player. One classmate who never even went on to attend college pulled into the reunion driving a $60,000 Lexus, and is now running his own financial institution. Another classmate is running a multi-million

dollar business with his father. I really enjoyed catching up with them and listening to their stories. One classmate who delayed our junior class trip to Chicago with pre-trip activities is now a probation officer. He used his experiences to help him understand his present job. He told that story with a big smile. God is good, life is good, but life is also difficult. Some classmates had hard stories to share. Our parents are all around 80 years old. Some of them have passed away. One of the reasons I went was to tell people about Jesus, “We will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ and give an account of our lives.” I don’t want anyone to go to Hell. I want everyone to go to heaven. Most knew that I am a pastor. We all went to

parochial school together for between four and 12 years. They know that I changed denominations, and wanted to know why. I expressed to them I don’t care what name is over their church door, I just want all of them to have a strong religious commitment when following Christ. If you ask the right questions, people are very open to talk. Alcohol can definitely help that process. “How lovely are the feet of those who bring good news.” The gospel is good news, God has a plan for everyone’s life. He loves us and wants all of us to go to heaven. A relationship with Jesus is our ticket for our next life. I pray that everyone receives that ticket. I hope I made Jesus smile by sharing His story once again with the class of 1980.

Pirates do well at ‘Sprawl’ BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
MENOMONIE—The Grantsburg Pirates took part in the UW-Stout’s Menomonie Sprawl over the weekend along with many other schools from all Divisions One through Four. They came away with a 5-2 record in matches and an 11-4 mark in games. Grantsburg defeated North Crawford, Somerset, Clayton Mosinee and Chippewa Falls by 2-0 scores. They lost one game to two to Cochrane-Fountain City and lost both games to Eau Claire Memorial. “We were able to give our first-year varsity players a lot of experience on Friday. They did great and rose to the challenge, with very close losses to D1 Eau Claire Memorial and D4 Cochrane-Fountain City,” reported Pirate coach Deb Allaman-Johnson. “Junior middle hitter Rhiana Pochman was named to the All Tournament Team, thanks to the solid play of her teammates. She hit .317 for the entire tournament and led the team in blocks with eight and kills with 44. We had a pretty balanced attack with other hitters at 31, 30, 29, and 17 kills from Cassidy Lee, Delia Labatt, Olivia Tucker, and Kenna Johnson.” “I forgot to mention that our pool play results on Friday put us in the silver division and we won the silver bracket” reported the coach. The Pirates will have started play on Tuesday against St. Croix Falls. They will host Unity on Thursday and will visit Webster next Tuesday.
