According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. Each year, about 200,000 people in the United States are told they have lung cancer, and more than 150,000 people die from this disease. Deaths from lung cancer represent about one out of every six deaths from cancer in the U.S. Smoking is the cause of 80 to 90 percent of cases of lung cancer and the leading cause of lung cancer. Other risk factors include secondhand smoke from other people’s cigarettes; radon gas in the home; things around the home or workplace including asbestos, ionizing radiation and other cancer-causing substances; medical exposure to radiation to the chest; chronic lung disease such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis; and increased age. Lung cancer symptoms can be due to the direct effect of growth of cancer cells in the lung or due to the effect of cancer cells that have spread to other parts RI WKH ERG\ /XQJ FDQFHU V\PSWRPV FDQ EH LGHQWLÀHG DQG UHPHPEHUHG E\ XVLQJ WKH DFURQ\P BREATHE: Blood when you cough or spit; recurring respiratory infections such as bronchitis or pneumonia; enduring cough that is new or different; ache or pain in shoulder, back or chest; trouble breathing; hoarseness or wheezing; exhaustion, weakness or loss of appetite. The Great American Smokeout is on Thursday, Nov. 21. This event encourages smokers to use this date as a marker to quit or plan in advance to make it their quit date.

Governor’s extension of Badgercare creates challenges, confusion Burnett County had already sent out letters notifying recipients of deadline Gary King |Editor BURNETT COUNTY - Gov. Scott Walker’s announcement this past week that he would delay for three months his plan to move more than 70,000 state residents out of state health coverage and into an online federal insurance market has created a “headacheâ€? for Burnett County’s Department of Health and Human Services and some Badgercare recipients. Director Katherine Peterson told the county’s health and community services committee Tuesday, Nov. 19, that letters had already gone out telling people they would be off Badgercare by Nov. 18 and would need to buy insurance through the marketplace. Now some on Badgercare who managed to get on the federal website and purchase a plan will have a three-month extension on Badgercare and will lose those premiums. Peterson also noted that Badgercare was going to be expanded to allow more people under the poverty level to enroll but with the extension for those already enrolled, the cap won’t be lifted until April. Some received letters prior to Walker’s announcement saying they could apply for Badgercare as of Nov. 18. Those people who apply now will be turned down. Peterson said the situation is a mess. People were already confused and now are “really confused.â€? Her department has started to get calls from people not knowing what to do, she said. Peterson also noted that up to this pint in time, she has seen an unexpected lack of consumer response to the Affordable Care Act. “We have not seen many consumers asking for assistance with navigating the ACA website and have not had any clients request to use the computer that is available in our reception area,â€? she said. Some of it may be due to the GLIĂ€FXOW\ WKDW KDV SODJXHG WKH federal website, Peterson said, KRZHYHU VKH DQWLFLSDWHV D VLJQLĂ€cant change after Nov. 18, when current Badgercare recipients that are over 100 percent of the federal poverty level will receive notice that their coverage will ending. People who are currently above the poverty level will be required to go out into the marketplace to secure health insurance. “At this time we do not have an exact number of how many Burnett County residents - we anticipate it could be several hundred clients,â€? Peterson said. For now, BadgerCare coverage is available to adults with children under 19 in households with incomes up to twice the poverty threshold, or $47,100 for a family of four. Walker said he would call lawmakers in for a special session in early December to pass the delay and noted he would not take any additional federal Medicaid money to keep the recipients on BadgerCare and instead would pay for the extra cost by delaying the roughly similar cost of adding a new group of more than 80,000 very-low-income adults to the state program. - with information from Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

Test results key in case of alleged animal abuse

Sheriff says animals remaining at Otter Creek Ranch are well; cautions against misinformation

Gary King|Editor POLK COUNTY - Results from tests on two of four horses found dead at a horse ranch near Milltown will be the key factor in determining whether or not FULPLQDO FKDUJHV ZLOO EH Ă€OHG against the ranch owner, said Sheriff Pete Johnson this week. Johnson cautioned the public against a rush to judgment concerning this case. “There has been a lot of misinformation out there,â€? he said. “We are focusing on the actual conditions now, and not the rumors or what people may have said in the past.â€? The ranch owner is cooperating with authorities, he said. Johnson confirmed that his department has received comments from members of the public over the past year or more who were concerned about whether the horses there were receiving enough food. The necropsy being performed in Barron County could determine if starvation was involved. Results are expected in the coming weeks. “As soon as the reports are completed, we will send them to WKH GLVWULFW DWWRUQH\¡V RIĂ€FH IRU review and possible charges,â€? Johnson said.

They gave the owner 45 days to correct them. The Otter Creek Ranch is a local trail riding stable consisting of about 80 horses as well as other domestic animals. Some of the horses at the ranch were rescued from situations or homes where the owners could not take care of them.

Break-in booty from Balsam Lake, Centuria, Dresser and Milltown

Greg Marsten|Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The Polk County Sheriff’s Department is seeking input from people who believe they were victims of recent storage locker break-ins, some of which were never reported. In the last few weeks the PCSD has recovered dozens of items believed to have come from several dozen storage locker break-ins, likely to have occurred at storage units in Milltown, Balsam Lake, Dresser and Centuria. “We are still identifying victims and weighing the number of charges (on the alleged perpetrators),â€? Polk County Sheriff Peter Johnson said. “But we have some items that need to be claimed.â€? Johnson said not everybody who was a victim of the break-ins reported the losses, and in fact, some may not have known what was lost. “The break-ins occurred over a couple of months,â€? Johnson said. “We also recovered a total of 62 cut locks.â€? He said that members of the public who believe they may have been victims, and can identify what is missing, are asked to call Investigator Rick Gearhart and leave him a message on what they think may have been recovered. His phone number is 715-485-8337. All messages are FRQĂ€GHQWLDO Johnson said the number and extent of charges against the unnamed defendants are pending and the investigation continues.

The grant will provide improvements for the shelter in the forest, and will furnish activity totes for visitors to the forest. In 2011, after the windstorm destroyed much of the timber and trail system in the school forest, the Webster Lions Club constructed a picnic shelter to be used as an outdoor education center.

It would also serve as an asset for community use,� said Terry Day, teacher at Webster School. Grants awarded this year ranged from $500 to $1,000 and had to be matched 100 percent by recipient organizations either through cash or in-kind donations. Since 1990, the Besadny grants have contributed more than $378,000 to nearly 500 projects, covering every county in Wisconsin. The Webster School Forest is a state-registered school forest that is used as an outdoor learning center for kindergarten through 12th grade in the school district. It offers not only educational opportunities, but also a trail system available to the public year-round.

Changing the paradigm

St. Croix Falls School Board approves Junior Seminar program; one class of students will use integrated learning next year

“With any change, there’s some fear. But it’s three hours a day that I would put my own kids into.� - St. Croix Falls District Administrator Glenn Martin

Greg Marsten|Staff writer

ST. CROIX FALLS – The St. Croix Falls junior class next year will be part of a bold change in how learning is integrated and structurally taught, with an interdisciplinary team approach, under the so-called Junior Seminar concept, which the St. Croix Falls Board of Education approved last week. After first being proposed midway through 2012, but rejected in Oct. 2012, the board decide last March to set a hard date for deciding on implementation, delaying or scrapping the plan for the year. The board approved the 2014-2015 commitment by a 4-1 vote at their Tuesday, Nov. 12, monthly meeting. The junior plan has a team of staff referred to as the Professional Learning Community that was created in 2012 to do in-depth planning, training and course preparation. They have since held several community meetings, discussion groups and even an in-depth multiple station Q&A seminar event in the media center last Oct. 22, where the staff of teachers designing the plan outlined multiple aspects of the proposal, down to the scheduling, course challenges, cross-utilization, subject focus and implementation at six different stations. The plan was originally presented as a way to reduce redundancy, in context and in homework, where teachers would work together and combine their efforts. “We need to change the paradigm - the way we do business,â€? stated language arts teacher Matt Beversdorf in Oct. 2012, citing how they can improve how the district addresses actual work-related skills and work ethics. While studied in-depth and with lots of community and parental involvement, there are still plenty of public comments, questions and concerns about the plan, which will use large portions of the day in a sort of college-styled presentation style, using multiple teachers and various subjects, tying together applications, with portfolios and multimedia projects created by the students to tie the various subject together. “At the high school level students take seven or eight different courses throughout the school day and oftentimes don’t make the connections from what they are learning in one course to the what they are learning in their other courses,â€? district Administrator Glenn Martin said after it was passed last week. “The Junior Seminar addresses this gap with a select group of teachers who will develop and deliver the curriculum together as a team.â€? Martin and the PLC team have stressed the program’s ability to tie several subject together though the course of a day, to help students to not only apply them toJHWKHU EXW WR Ă€QG FRQQHFWLRQV DQG VSDUN individual applications for their projects in a sort of collegelike atmosphere. “The curriculum of the various subject areas will be integrated so that, for exam-

What I don’t see Finally I got a few days to go out to the woods to try to harvest a deer with a bow. I don’t know why I just don’t bring the camera, as just being out there is a piece of heaven, and the reason as to really why I go. Leaving the busy world behind, I take in and inhale the smells, beauty and tranquility of the forest life. It’s breathtaking, and if you have ever bow hunted, you can appreciate that. Turkeys, squirrels and songbirds keep me occupied, but I hardly see a deer or any deer sign.

Informing taxpayers

revenue from two sources, general state aid and local tax levy. The general aid and general fund (Fund 10) tax levy make up the revenue limit. The revenue limit for our district has gone down (albeit declining enrollments are a factor) or remained à DW *HQHUDO DLG KDV DOVR JRQH GRZQ WKH state’s portion), but for the most part, the local tax levy has risen. The amount of general state aid received by a district is calculated by the amount value behind each student. A simple example: if our district has a property value of $100 million and you have 500 students, you have $200,000 of property value per student. If your enrollment drops to 400 students and your property value remains the same, you now have $250,000 of property value per student. It appears that we are now a richer district. However, the students and the community in general is not getting richer ... just the opposite. I know this is a drastic example, but it demonstrates how the percent of aid gets reduced within the formula. Siren does get a small amount of aid for high poverty that is suppose to offset some of this effect. The way schools are funded in our state is a broken system. This is a concern that matters to all of us as we vote the next time for our state representatives and congressmen. Actually it matters now. I hope you’ll join me in sending a letter, email or calling Erik Severson, representative of Assembly District 28 in Wisconsin and member of the education committee, and asking that the funding formula be changed. Until something changes in the way our schools are funded, our district is doing like many others.

Lies and denials You can keep your policies and your doctors if you like them – period. A recent Wall Street Journal article states that this administration knew in 2010 that those promises could not be kept. The policy people (fact-checkers) in the administration warned that these guarantees could not be met, but the political personnel overruled them, and for the next three years the president repeated those pledges. And Democrats who defended Obamacare knew it too. The mandates written into the law by Secretary Sebelius made it impossible for most existing individual policies to continue.

129 million people will lose insurance when the employer mandate takes effect in 2014. So, the best way to address the lack of coverage for 30 million is to take away insurance from almost 150 million responsible people? Our president denies knowledge of how bad the website was prior to launching just like he denied knowledge of Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, NSA and all the other on-going catastrophes that keep coming up in the administration. He claims to have heard about them from a newspaper or news programming just like we did. He fails to hold anyone accountable for these debacles even though he “promisesâ€? to do so. I suppose we should be grateful that the president subscribes to newspapers or he would have no idea what’s happening under his “leadership.â€? Democrats voted against the numerous attempts to defund, delay or make changes to Obamacare including the June 2010 Enzi bill, which directly addressed the foreseeable cancellations.

$50 lot sells for over $5,000

Gregg Westigard|Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The third Polk County auction of tax-delinquent property was a success. Six properties sold for $238,757 in the online auction that ended Tuesday, Nov. 12. That was $112,682 over the minimum bid amount of $126,075. The county will deduct some expenses from the sales amount, but most of the money goes into the county’s general fund, and the properties will go back on the tax rolls. One buyer had the winning bids for two wooded lots on 50th Avenue in Alden and purchased 18-1/2 undeveloped acres

for $76,250. A livable house on 2-1/2 acres of land near Lower Pine Lake in Alden sold for $49,501. The most valuable property was 80 acres of forest on Dau Road in the Town of Milltown which went for $107,000, more than double the minimum bid. And then there is the story of two remnant pieces of property in Amery. A tiny bit of land, two-tenths of an acre on North Twin Lake, was for sale with a minimum bid of $50. The property could only be reached by boat and is a remnant of a platted lot now half under the lake. The $50 parcel sold for $5,184, attracting 12 bidders and 36 bids.

Progress for Webster schools foundation

Village taxes to increase $10 on $100,000 property Mary Stirrat|Staff writer LUCK — The Luck Village Board approved the 2014 budget and tax levy Wednesday evening, Nov. 13, following a public hearing that drew no members of the public. The total general fund budget for 2014 is $678,819, which is $15,000, or 2 percent, higher than the 2013 budget. The budget for all funds combined, including library, machinery and police squad purchase, debt service and capital projects, comes to $961,460 in expenditures. Village property owners will be assessed a total tax levy of $538,070 to fund the budget, which is up $9,937, or 1.88 percent, from last year. With an increase of .57 percent in property values, the taxing mill rate for 2014 was set at $7.40 per $1,000 in property value. This means that owners of prop-

Budget approved at Luck erty valued at $100,000 will pay $740 in village property taxes. Last year’s mill rate was $7.30, so taxes on property valued at $100,000 will increase by $10. The $538,070 tax levy is split between several funds, the largest going to the general fund at $345,437. In addition, $59,440 is being levied for the library, $10,000 for police squad purchase, $60,000 for machinery purchase and $63,193 for debt service. A copy of the 2014 budget can be reviewed at the village hall.

*UDQW DSSOLFDWLRQ The board voted to proceed with a “prescoping� application for funding from the Transportation Alternatives Program, a federal program through the Department of Transportation. The program provides money for safe routes to school, transportation enhancements such as overlooks, sidewalks and lights, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Several years ago the village applied to

a former version of the program, seeking funds for lighting and sidewalk improvements on Main Street and a bike/pedestrian route from downtown to the school. According to Dave Rasmussen, senior SODQQHU DQG RIĂ€FHU PDQDJHU DW 06$ 3URfessional Services, the program would cover 80 percent of sidewalk and lighting upgrades. Paving cannot be included in the project, but curb and gutter possibly can. The prescoping application is due Dec. 13, said Rasmussen, but the DOT process is slow. “You’re probably looking at construction, if all goes well, by 2017,â€? he said. The prescoping application is free, said Rasmussen, but if the village is selected it can cost up to $3,500 for the application. “I like this process,â€? he said, “because if you’re not selected it’s free.â€?

West Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission would be able to do that part of the process.

The entire project was $900,000, and the grant covered $720,000.

I would like to take this time to thank those that came to our home to help celebrate my sister Martha Lampe’s 100th birthday. The gifts and cards were wonderful. The weekend was full of laughs, memories and lots of love. A special thank-you to Father Louis Reddy for taking the time to come help us celebrate as well. Also, a special thank-you to daughter Mary Jane Johnson and daughter-in-law Janice Nelson for preparing for the party. I truly appreciate you all!

community. The students also had to develop the project themselves. They made all the plans, arranged for transportation with Brian Sears, the schools transportation director, and scheduled all the work they would do at the shelter. In one other report item, high school choral music director Cory Westgard told board members of expanded high school choir activities. The choir will now sing the national anthem at all varsity sporting events and will participate more extensively in various school programs and events.

He left us in ‘ninety-eight, Life with him was great. We think of how he liked his Ford tractor, and the fun he had, when the white-tailed deer he was after. Thank God for the memories so dear, and the time he was here.

Flex gymnasts compete in Buffalo, Minn. BUFFALO, Minn., – Flex Gymnastics girls compulsory teams competed in the Rock Star Invitational meet on Sunday, Nov. 10, at Gym-Nation in Buffalo, Minn. The highlights of the weekend were when the Level 5 team took home second place with a team score of 102.85, and the Level 3 team took home the third place with a team score of 106.925. Team scores are calculated by adding up the top three all-around scores.

Tradition continues 7KH ÀUVW RI ZKDW ZLOO amount to roughly 250 phone calls and texts came through my cell phone early this week, leading up to what will be my 22nd consecutive year of chasing white-tailed deer Marty during Wisconsin’s nine-day hunting exSeeger travaganza. It has become a tradition for one or more !./$ uncles or friends to call 012213$ or text to chat about the upcoming opener. 456/ On a daily basis someone makes contact wondering where I plan to sit on opening day, to comment on what’s right and what’s wrong with deer hunting these days or to simply laugh about the many stories and traditions of yesteryear. By this Friday, Nov. 22, none of us will exactly have any solid clue on where we’ll be sitting, even though there aren’t that many spots to choose from. When

Saturday rolls around, we’ll exit the home of my Grandma Carol in a frenzy after a quality breakfast, and there’s still a good chance we won’t know exactly where we’ll be sitting.

Judging by the several gun shots over the past couple of weeks in the surrounding countryside, there are many others out there who have made it a tradition to do just about everything at the last minute as well. I’ve made it a tradition to be completely unprepared for the upcoming ULĂ H VHDVRQ RYHU WKH \HDUV 5LĂ H KXQWLQJ ZLWK H[FHSWLRQ WR WKH Ă€UVW WZR RI GD\V RI the nine-day season, has become more of a social event than anything. In fact, those 250 texts and phone calls leading up to the hunt have become just as enjoyable as heading out to the woods on Saturday morning. The night prior to opening day also

doesn’t quite hold the excitement it used to when I was a teenager, and I tend to sleep much better these days. There was once a time where I’d be lucky to get 45 minutes of sleep, but even still, as the alarm clock sounds early Saturday morning, it’s hard not to smile before getting out of bed, so long as the social group of friends doesn’t keep me out too late the night before. And that has happened on at least one, maybe two occasions. Even hearing the song, “Da Turdy Point Buck,â€? by Bananas at Large, which is played on several different radio stations leading up to opening day, is part of the tradition. A couple of weeks ago, I came across the same song leading up to Minnesota’s deer hunting opener, however, I quickly turned the station as it’s sort of taboo to listen to it, unless it’s during, or the week prior to Wisconsin’s opener. I’d rank it right up there with watching the 1983 classic, “A Christmas Story,â€? or “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacationâ€? in July. 2QFH WKH Ă€UVW ZHHNHQG RI WKH JXQ GHHU hunt ends, it’s back to work as usual for the next few days, and what started out as nervous excitement fades away, almost into nonexistence. Yet, as Wednesday rolls back around, and the eve of Thanksgiving Day is upon me, the ner-

vous excitement of opening day comes back again, as more people seem to head back to the woods and deer tend to move a bit more. I often envy those who take the entire nine-day season off from work, but it wasn’t all that long ago that I was frantically trying to get all of my homework done in high school so I could take the entire week of school off. At no point during the school year was I pressured more to get my schoolwork handed in on time than prior to the gun-deer opener. It was that important to my dad that I share DOO QLQH GD\V LQ WKH ÀHOG ZLWK KLP DQG WKH uncles. And during that time we hunted hard, rarely missing an hour except during a break for lunch, or when the truck broke down, which usually happened every year. The traditions of the nine-day gunhunting season in my family have changed considerably over the past 22 years, and there are likely 50 different reasons as to why. It would take a book series to explain all of the dynamics of how things have changed, yet no matter the changes over the years, the tradition of simply going, hasn’t. Best of luck to all hunters this weekend for a safe, memorable gun-deer season.

Crex Meadows experiences busy fall season GRANTSBURG – Crane migration peaks, autumn leaves turn, bugs diminish and enthusiastic crowds of nature lovers appear, making fall a great time to explore Crex Meadows Wildlife Area. From September to October, 25 public programs, 11 off-site presentations and six programs for organizations were offered by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources staff. In addition, nine school groups traveled to the wildlife education and visitors center. In just two short months, a grand total of 2,011 participants enjoyed environmental and education programming targeted to all ages. To encourage public support for wildlife and wildlife management, Crex Meadows hosted its 31st-annual fall wildlife fest on Saturday, Oct. 5. Cold winds and rain squalls didn’t stop 210 people from enjoying a morning of a pancake breakfast, wildlife tours, hikes, animal exhibits, guest speakers, hands-on demRQVWUDWLRQV UDIà HV VLOHQW DXFWLRQV DQG children’s activities. In addition to this year’s fall events, 260 people attended the third-annual Halloween happenings event, the highest attendance yet. Visitors were treated to seasonal snacks, owl crafts, bat cookie decorating and a nocturnal scavenger hunt inside the center. Guided interpretive hikes focused on nature’s nighttime wildlife, leading visitors on a jack-oODQWHUQ OLW WUDLO $ ERQÀUH ZLWK VKRUW QDture stories was at the end of the trail. It all made for a great evening of entertainment and education focused on this

year’s theme: Creatures of the Night. Beginning in September, Crex launched the 4-H Outdoor Skills Club to help maintain those outdoor traditions and prepare youth for a lifetime of outdoor pursuits. Each month offers a different conservation related topic targeted for students in the surrounding area ages 9 – 18. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month from September through May. During the first meeting, participants experienced building shelters, SUHSDULQJ ÀUHV DQG VLPXODWHG VXUYLYDO scenarios. In October, members explored the interactions of organisms in wetlands through short wetland activities. Covering a range of concepts, Crex Meadows wildlife education programs offer hands-on experiences to guide students pre-K in discovering new concepts in science, math, literature, art and more through the natural world. From dip netting in the pond to learning about the life cycle of a Blandings turtle to prairie investigation, students explore the best features of Crex Meadows. Types of public programs offered this fall included hunter education, wild rice processing workshop, wolf trapper workshop, mushroom talk and tour, crane tours, star party and friends of Crex appreciation events for members. This variety of programming reaches a wide audience, allowing Crex to effectively examine a range of conservation issues such as threatened and endangered species on the property, hunting ethics and wildlife management recommenda-

Build nesting habitat for the elusive wood duck GRANTSBURG – Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will host a wood duck nest box workshop from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 7, at Crex Meadows Wildlife Area. Attendees will construct wood duck nesting boxes to attract the colorful and elusive wood duck to their properties. Wood duck boxes are an incredibly effective way to increase wood duck populations; and the workshop will explore why this is and the effect that nesting box programs have on wildlife. The morning will begin with an indoor informational session about wood ducks and their habitat needs with wildlife con-

servation educator Kristi Pupak. Learn about the art, science and joy of creating and placing wood duck nesting boxes. Participants will be putting together wood duck box kits and sent home with blueprints and advice for placing their own box. The wood duck lives in wooded swamps, where they nest in holes in trees or in nest boxes put up around lake margins. They are one of the few duck species that nests inside the cavities of old trees. Shortly after hatching, ducklings bravely leap from the nest to the water or ground. Nesting sites are now scarce because older trees are typically removed in and around

wetlands and ponds where wood ducks typically breed. Luckily wood ducks will readily nest in properly situated nesting boxes. Workshop participants that don’t have wetlands or ponds on their properties are encouraged to attend and can choose to donate their nesting boxes installed at Crex Meadows. This hands-on workshop is a great free educational component for families. One box per family will be allotted. All building materials are supplied. Attendees with power or manual screwdrivers are asked to bring them. Tools will be provided to attendees that do not bring their

own. Space is limited to 20 participants, so advanced registration is required by Dec. 1. Having a successful nest in your wood duck house may take some work, but it will provide you with an educational and enjoyable experience. To register or for more information, please contact Kristi Pupak, wildlife conservation educator, at 715-463-2739 or via email: Kristina.pupak@wisconsin.gov For complete details and updated information, visit crexmeadows.org/ For regular updates, photos, news and more, follow them on Facebook. – submitted

Burnett Medical Center hosts Diabetes Education Night Priscilla Bauer|Staff writer GRANTSBURG – The large turnout at the Nov. 11 Burnett Medical Center Diabetes Education Night was an indication of the growing number of people in the area affected by the disease. The medical center chose the month of November, American Diabetes Month, to host the two-hour session, which featured healthy snacks, free glucose screenings and A1c testing (offered at a reduced rate), door prizes, free information and guest speakers. BMC registered dietitian Daina Duerr

and BMC diabetes educator Becky Lake spoke on a team approach to diabetes management. The evening also featured two guest speakers. Patty Klasen, a registered dietitian and diabetes educator, spoke to the group on how the body uses insulin and how to effectively manage taking insulin. Terry Wiley, diagnosed with diabetes 28 years ago, spoke on the methods he uses to control his diabetes, how to keep a positive attitude and how he helps others facing the challenge of having the disease.

R.I.P. Hermy Whenever I think of it, I can hear the cracking sound under the tires. So I do what most of us do when we remember unpleasant things in our lives, I try to put them out of my mind as quickly as possible. But the more I try to push them down into the dark corners of my brain, the more they pop right back up. It’s like the song you can’t stop from playing in your head. So then I try to think of the most perfect handbag and clutch, but they keep coming out in plaid! It’s a joke from an old “Saturday Night Liveâ€? skit. And besides being too funny it rings so true, trying to forget is harder than you think. My memory of running over a huge snapping turtle came crashing back when I got a phone call from Monte Johnson, owner of Hermy, a sawback map turtle. I wrote a story about Hermy when he turned 50, quite a feat for a sawback, and Johnson wanted me to hear it from him that Hermy had died. The little turtle Monte’s mother brought home for him from an Atlantic Mills variety store was dead at age 53. As I listened to Monte tell of his turtle’s long and safe life I couldn’t help but think of that day when I came around a curve driving home from college. There it was, right in the middle of WKH URDG GHĂ€QLWHO\ QRW D VDIH SODFH IRU a turtle to be. It was too late to brake or swerve. I heard the cracking sound under my tires. Looking down at the dead turtle lying on the road, I vowed I had to make amends. As I saw it, I had two choices. The

I was to forever be found middling roads and moving to safety any and all turtles attempting travel across the asphalt. But as I thought again of Hermy and his years of comfortable containment, I had to wonder. Did these two turtle tales pose a question for all of us to ponder? Which is the better path, the one where we always end up playing it safe in a familiar environment or the one that veers off toward an unknown route on life’s highway? In the end, would we all be happier chancing getting crushed under the tires? In any case, you have my sympathies, Monte. Though I know how much you will miss Hermy, take comfort in knowing what good care and love you gave him for 53 years. His race is done now, rest in peace, Hermy, rest in peace.

Schoessow: Wisconsin is rich in soils MADISON - Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, “The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.â€? Kevin Schoessow would agree with Roosevelt’s sentiment. Schoessow is the University of Wisconsin Extension area agricultural development agent for Burnett, Washburn and Sawyer counties in northwestern Wisconsin. He received his B.S. in soil science from UWRiver Falls and his M.S. in soil science from UWMadison, so it’s an area in which he is particularly interested. One thing Schoessow wants people to know is that soil and dirt aren’t the same thing. Soil is much more complex than dirt, and Schoessow said, “Anyone who knows me, or has taken my classes, knows that I’m a stickler IRU WKDW GHĂ€QLWLRQ , JHW RQ P\ VRDS ER[ , give my little speech about the difference between soil and dirt. ´'LUW LV ZKDW \RX Ă€QG XQGHU \RXU Ă€Qgernails when you’re digging in the soil, or you bring it in on your shoes into the house,â€? he said. “In the end, I really don’t mind so much what they call (soil) as long as they appreciate the value of it and how important it is.â€? Soil comes from materials produced and combined over millions of years, as well as the remains of creatures that have

lived on and in it. The result is what soil scientists refer to as “parent material,â€? he said. “In Wisconsin, we are blessed with just all kinds of varied geology, and that’s basically because of the glaciers that ripped through this region thousands of years ago,â€? Schoessow explained. “Wisconsin is just so varied in our landscape, and in the types of parent materials that we have to develop our soils. That’s the beauty of living in a state like Wisconsin that has lots of different changes in topography and lots of different soils.â€? For the layperson, it may be hard to believe, but Schoessow said that Wisconsin has well over 600 named and clasVLĂ€HG VRLOV DFURVV WKH VWDWH One soil stands apart from the others, because it has been designed the State Soil of Wisconsin. The Antigo silt loam was championed by UW Soil Science Professor Francis Hole and was designated as such by the state Legislature in 1983. Schoessow recommended these resources for those interested in learning more about soil health. “They are focused more on farmers rather than home gardeners,â€? he said, “but the concepts are still the same.â€? – submitted

Work in our hearts, cleansing us from unholy thoughts and acts, so there will be more room for your light to shine through, so others can see you through us. Teach us how to be holy as you are holy.

Northwest Wisconsin CWD sampling update

SHELL LAKE — Since the discovery of a chronic wasting disease-positive adult doe west of Shell Lake in 2011, local DNR wildlife staff have been working in cooperation with local citizens, wild game processors, taxidermists and car-killed deer pickup contractors to test adult deer, 1-1/2 years old and older, within a 10-mile radius of the CWD-positive adult doe. The 10-mile Intensive Monitoring Area encompasses 318 square miles and contains the cities of Shell Lake, Spooner and Sarona. The table below is an update of the samples collected this year from April 1 to Nov. 1. The DNR will continue collecting samples from adult deer within the 10-mile Intensive Monitoring Area throughout the remainder of the deer seasons or until sampling goals are reached. An overall sampling goal of 500 adult deer has been set for within the 10-mile Intensive Monitoring Area. Within that area, a goal of 125 samples has been set for within a 2-mile radius of the initial positive deer and 375 samples between the 2- to 10-mile radius. Archery and gun hunters are encouraged to voluntarily submit samples from adult deer at local registration stations within the Shell Lake and Spooner areas. This information is crucial in identifying the extent and level of infection within the area. The 10-mile Intensive Monitoring Area includes a large portion of deer management unit 15 and parts of units 17, 11 and 12. DNR wildlife staff will be collecting tissue samples from adult deer for CWD testing in Barronett, Shell Lake and Spooner during the upcoming nineday gun deer season. For a map of the 10-mile Intensive Monitoring Area and more information about CWD in Northwest Wisconsin, visit dnr.wi.gov/topic/ wildlifehabitat/cwdnorth.html. or knowcwd.com.

Northwest Wisconsin CWD fact sheet After sampling over 1,000 deer in the 10-mile monitoring area, no additional CWD-positive deer were detected. This strongly indicates that CWD has been

detected early in its infection of the deer herd in Northwest Wisconsin. It is crucial that we continue testing deer in the area to monitor the disease since the CWDcausing prions can persist in the environ-

Planning for the fall, planning for the future, planning together! Deer hunting and herd management face some exciting opportunities for enhancement, as well as some challenges, right now and in the near future. We want to continue to work with you while plotting the path forward. From season setting to deer trustee report implementation, you are essential partners in the process. As I’ve been saying since I became DNR secretary, these are your deer, your traditions, and we are your DNR. In planning for this fall, the department made an unprecedented effort to gather input from hunters following the 2012 season, and especially during the 2013 quota and season setting process. Through dozens of local meetings, emails, phone calls, Conservation Congress meetings, club meetings and surveys, we collected valuable information about hunter success, observations and more. That input helped form the 2013 deer season. For example, we listened to public feedback which has resulted in conservative antlerless quotas across the forested regions in recent years. And in planning for future hunting seasons, department staff and members of the public have been working together to sift through and implement recommendations from the deer trustee review of Wisconsin’s deer management program. A great deal of time and

During a regular deer-hunting season, a hunter that shoots a deer because it appears sick will be issued a replacement tag. Sick deer should be shot in the body and given to your local warden or wildlife staff for CWD testing. The baiting and feeding ban is an important action to take in CWD management. Baiting and feeding cause unnatural concentrations of deer that increase the risk of disease infection and spread.

However, we are hearing of increased deer sightings in most areas. I am encouraged and looking forward, once again, to the fantastic deer hunting opportunities throughout the state this fall. I want to personally thank those of you who take the time to learn more and get involved in Wisconsin’s deermanagement program, and to introduce someone new to hunting. If you haven’t been involved, we have many ways for you to connect with the traditions and with the DNR.

In total, deer hunters in Wisconsin harvested 368,314 deer in 2012, an increase over each of the previous three seasons. Although it was a productive season for many hunters, others found it less than desirable. In the eastern half of the northern forested region, hunters shot fewer deer than in the previous year. Antlerless permit levels in many forest units have been conservative in recent years and will be even more so in 2013. While this strategy is designed to increase deer sightings in the future, the number of antlerless deer harvested this year can be expected to decrease in many areas due to the simple fact that fewer permits are available. Hunters understand that deer densities are not consistent across the landscape. /RFDO GHHU SRSXODWLRQV DUH LQà XHQFHG by the amount of high-quality habitat, the abundance and distribution of predators, and the level of human disturbance.

The season structure for the 2013 deer season will be almost identical to 2012 with a few changes in individual deer management units, designated as herd control or as regular units. Most DMUs in the northern and central forest regions will have limited or no antlerless harvest in an effort to increase deer populations. The farmland regions will remain as either herd control or CWD units. In these areas, deer are generally abundant in relation to their local habitat and are controlled though the harvest of antlerless deer. Still, local abundance can vary greatly across a unit. One factor that will likely affect distribution across the forested regions is winter weather. Last winter arrived late and stayed long into spring. Deer, along with migrating birds, found ice and snow-covered ground instead of succulent shoots of new growth. Late-summer fawn and doe observations will provide clues to winter’s impact. However, no drastic losses of deer were reported, and the prospects for increased deer abundance look promising in most areas. – by Kevin Wallenfang, Scott Roepke and Sam Jonas and taken from the Wisconsin DNR website

Making the right shot So you’ve just taken that buck of a lifetime with your bow or gun, or your son or daughter has just shot their ÀUVW GHHU 7KH WDJV KDYH been punched, handshakes and hugs have been exchanged, and Marty the deer may or may not have been fieldSeeger dressed already. But while you’re making The haste to get that deer in the truck and out of the Bottom woods to start showing it off, you’ve probably Line overlooked the perfect opportunity to capture the moment for a lifetime. All too often hunters neglect to take a good photograph of their trophy. With a little practice taking a good photo can become an easy thing to do, in just a half-hour’s time or less. It can also be a lot of fun, knowing that the person with their trophy will have something to remember the hunt by for a lifetime. And oftentimes, the picture lasts longer than a mount from the taxidermy shop, or the antlers on the wall. With the latest technology in cell phones and digital photography these days, there’s really no need for an expensive camera. While I’m lucky to have been able to purchase a high-end camera, I’ve often taken photos that turned out just as nice with my cell phone, which LV D ORW HDVLHU WR FDUU\ LQWR WKH ÀHOG WKDQ a bulky camera bag and equipment. So too, are some of the smaller digital cameras, and you don’t need to be an expert to use them, but it does take a little time and practice. And having an expensive camera doesn’t make you an expert photographer, or even a good photographer. It takes some practice, and a little bit of patience. Below is a list of things to consider when taking a quality deer photo for a friend or relative.

&OHDQ LW XS You owe it to the deer to try and make it as presentable as possible. There’s no reason for the tongue to be hanging out or for its face and body to be completely full of blood. Yes, blood, entry holes and exit wounds are part of the hunt, but ask yourself, what looks better? I’ve never seen a head mount with blood everyZKHUH DQG WKH WRQJXH KDQJLQJ RXW 3ODFLQJ \RXU ERZ RU ULĂ H RYHU WKH ZRXQGV RU brushing up a few leaves or vegetation to hide the body cavity if it has already EHHQ Ă€HOG GUHVVHG VLPSO\ PDNHV IRU D better photo. And it doesn’t take long. *RRG OLJKW Taking a good photo of a trophy buck or any deer or any wildlife species requires good light, but sometimes, good light isn’t an option. Deer are oftentimes recovered at night and if it’s at all possible to take it the next morning, when light can be at its best, do so. If you can’t wait due to weather conditions, learn KRZ WR XVH \RXU FDPHUD Ă DVK LQ WKH GDUN Night photos aren’t ideal, but there are ways to make them still look great.

lights might be helpful as well. Overcast days are often the best days to take photos because it limits shadRZV %ULJKW VXQQ\ GD\V FDQ EH GLIÀFXOW WR HOLPLQDWH VKDGRZV EXW LI \RX FDQ ÀQG some shaded areas it can help. If the hunter or hunters holding up the deer are wearing hats, have them lift them up a bit, or you won’t be able to see their faces.

$YRLG WKH WUXFN Taking a photo of a buck in the back of a pickup truck is a fairly traditional photo but often overused. If at all possible, take it back out of the truck or even go as far to take it back to the area where you killed the deer. The time doing it might seem like a pain, but it’s well worth the effort in the end. *HW ORZ It pays for the photographer to get slightly below the subject. The majority of photos I take are while I’m lying on my belly. Especially if the terrain in the DUHD LV Ă DW 3RVLWLRQ LV HYHU\WKLQJ Try to position the hunter behind the deer. The hunter doesn’t need to sit a foot behind the deer or hold his/her arms out to make the deer appear larger. Most times a deer is hard to maneuver as rigor mortis can set in quickly. With as much muscle as you can muster, position the head of the deer so it looks as natural as possible. Try not to tip the antlers forward, or so the head of the deer is looking up. Once you get it into position, the slightest movement from side to side can make a world of difference in assuring the best angle of the deer, and so the antlers are presented in their full glory. Follow the same set of rules if it’s an antlerless deer, but try to hold it at the base of the neck, and not the ears. 7DNH \RXU WLPH KXUU\ XS 2QH RI WKH Ă€UVW WKLQJV , WHOO VRPHRQH before I begin taking photos is that their arm or arms will get tired, and I jokingly tell them that there’s absolutely no whining or eye-rolling allowed.

2. Respect other hunters

3. Respect nonhunters

• Understand that not everyone supports hunting. While everyone is entitled to their own view, positive hunting behavior will not turn someone who is neutral into someone who is opposed.

4. Respect wildlife and other natural resources

• Follow all hunting laws and report violations observed to your local warden. • Assist or support landowners and the DNR with wildlife habitat projects. – from the DNR Website SPO

Deer abundance and densities in Wisconsin deer management units

STATEWIDE – The Wisconsin DNR annually estimates the size of the population of deer in each deer management unit. Deer population estimates may be expressed in terms of abundance or density. Abundance estimates are the total number of deer estimated for an entire unit. Density can be calculated by dividing the abundance esWLPDWH E\ WKH DUHD VTXDUH PLOHV ZLWKLQ WKH XQLW 'HQVLW\ estimates are useful for comparing population estimates among deer management units because they standardize abundance estimates by taking into account the difference in size of deer management units.

Buck harvest density in 2012 varied among deer management units from less than one to more than 12 bucks harvested per square mile of deer range. Fall deer densities in 2012 varied from nine to more than 100 deer per square mile of deer range. Deer management units with the highest fall densities were

mostly in the east-central and southern parts of the state. Units with the lowest fall deer densities were mostly in north central and northeastern Wisconsin. Overwinter deer population estimates are derived from the fall population estimates and the total registered harvest. Overwinter deer densities in 2012 varied from about seven to about 100 deer per square mile of deer range. Deer range is used for determining population goals and density because it provides a standard for comparison of density among deer management units, and it helps biologists to understand the ecological and economic effects of different deer densities. The amount of deer range varies greatly among deer management units. In some northern units, more than 95 percent of the land DUHD LV FODVVLĂ€HG DV GHHU UDQJH ,Q FRQWUDVW OHVV WKDQ percent of some of the highly urbanized and/or agricultural units in the south is considered to be deer range. The variation in the amount of deer range across the state may be one of the factors that contributes to confusion about deer population estimates. Deer population and harvest densities can also be expressed in terms of total land area. This results in a somewhat different picture of the distribution of deer in Wisconsin. Deer management units in which a small perFHQWDJH RI WKH WRWDO ODQG DUHD LV FODVVLĂ€HG DV GHHU UDQJH may show a high number of deer per square mile of deer range but a lower number of deer per square mile of land

area. Using land area as the basis, the harvest density of antlered bucks in 2012 varied from less than one to nearly nine bucks harvested per square mile of land area. In a number of deer management units in southeastern and southwestern Wisconsin and also in north central and northwestern Wisconsin, fewer than two bucks were harvested per square mile of total land area in 2012. In FRQWUDVW PRUH WKDQ ÀYH DQWOHUHG EXFNV ZHUH KDUYHVWHG per square mile of land area in many east-central and a number of western deer management units. Based on land area, fall 2012 densities were highest in east-central and west-central Wisconsin. By comparison, fall densities were much lower in southeastern Wisconsin and in a number of north central and northeastern management units. Overwinter deer densities showed a similar geographic pattern. It is important to keep in mind that density estimates for deer management units are based largely on the number of antlered bucks harvested in the unit. The resulting density estimates are averages for the entire unit DQG PD\ QRW DFFXUDWHO\ UHà HFW ORFDO GHHU GHQVLW\ 7KHUH can be considerable local variation in density within deer management units due to differences in deer habitat quality and local hunting pressure. – from the DNR website

Four basic rules of firearm safety

Lead in venison STATEWIDE – Deer harvested with lead bullets have been shown to have tiny lead particles or fragments remaining in the processed meat. These are often too small to be seen and can disperse far from the wound channel. Although lead in venison does not rival lead paint in older homes as a health risk for the public, the risk is not low enough to ignore. Children under 6 and pregnant women are at the greatest risk from lead exposure. The amount of lead found in a small percentage of venison samples suggests that long-term effects of lead consumption could occur in people who regularly eat venison harvested with lead ammunition. However, there is currently no known evidence linking human consumption of venison to lead poisoning. The following measures can reduce your potential exposure to lead in venison: • Consider alternative nonlead expanding ammunition such as copper or other high-weight-retention lead bullets, such as bonded bullets. ‡ 3UDFWLFH PDUNVPDQVKLS DQG RXWGRRU VNLOOV WR JHW closer to your target, making cleaner, lethal shots away from major muscle areas. Aim for the vitals behind the shoulder or the neck. Don’t shoot at running deer. • Avoid consuming internal organs as they can contain extra lead from heart-lung shots. ‡ 3URFHVV VPDOO EDWFKHV VR \RX FDQ IUHTXHQWO\ FKHFN the grinder and remove lead fragments. • Remind your meat processor to not use deer meat with excessive shot damage. • Trim a generous distance away from the wound channel and discard any meat that is bruised, discolored or contains hair, dirt, bone fragments or grass.

In the case of human injury, that means gambling with human life. You must be absolutely certain and correct in judgment before deciding to shoot. Otherwise, it’s reckless behavior. In addition to identifying the target, a hunter must

know that a safe backstop for their bullet is present in every shooting situation. We don’t always hit our target, and, in some cases, the bullet passes through the target. A safe backstop guarantees that no one will get hurt. . .HHS \RXU Ă€QJHU RXWVLGH WKH WULJJHU JXDUG XQWLO UHDG\ WR VKRRW ,I D KXQWHU VWXPEOHV ZLWK D Ă€UHDUP LQ one hand and nothing in the other, whatever that person does with their free hand will automatically happen with WKH KDQG KROGLQJ WKH JXQ ,I D Ă€QJHU LV LQVLGH WKH WULJJHU guard, that hand is likely going to close around the pistol grip of the gun and on the trigger, causing an unwanted discharge. 3ODQQLQJ \RXU IDOO KXQWLQJ WULS DOVR PHDQV KDYLQJ your gear in proper working order.
