Burnett County Humane Society plans future move JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Remembering the fallen

BURNETT COUNTY –– The Burnett County Humane Society is still looking for financial support from the county. There current facilities are deteriorating and there is a common misconception that they are funded by county tax dollars.

The BCHS is not funded by tax dollars, but instead is run in large part by volunteers and a few full-time employees. HSBC Treasurer Peggy Tolbert said the money they are asking for – $5,000 – is for renovating their new building, not paying for salaries.

HSBC began in 2000 in a residential trailer on Midtown Road in Siren. The trailer was converted into an office and there are two other trailers on their property that is owned by the county and leased by HSBC. SEE BCHS, PAGE 2

School districts receive grants for broadband infrastructure JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY –– Last week, Gov. Scott Walker announced the state would be issuing $7.8 million to 252 school districts across the state. Grantsburg, Siren and Webster school districts are all slated to receive TEACH infrastructure grants totaling over $93,000 for broadband infrastructure.

Walker made the announcement while visiting the Mosinee School District. The Technology for Educational Achievement (TEACH) Information Technology Infrastructure grants program began

in 2016 and has awarded over $13 million in grants.

“We are investing more actual dollars into public classrooms than ever before, increased technology in the classroom will help our students excel and further position Wisconsin to win the 21st century.”

Grantsburg will be receiving $35,120 and Siren is set to get $29,533.

Grantsburg Superintendent Joni Burgin was very happy after receiving the news of Grantsburg TEACH infrastructure grant funds. She thanked Jesse Byers Grantsburg District District Technology Director and Network

NEWS 715-463-2341 editor@burnettcountysentinel.com

Administrator, for submitting the TEACH infrastructure grants.

“This helps to address our district digital divide – to better address Internet needs for students who have no internet services at home,” Burgin said.

She defined the district’s digital divide as, gulf between those who have ready access to computers and the Internet, and those who do not…based on race, gender, educational attainment, and income.

“It can significantly impact student achievement and learning,” Burgin concluded.

BCHS: Treasurer says the move will reduce stress and allow better care for animals moveable trailer on purpose so it can be moved to the new site on County Road D. There are three community rooms in this trailer, housing a multitude of cats.

“Both cats and dogs have their own quarantine area which we have to keep them in for a certain amount of time,” Tolbert explains.

She walks into the cat quarantine area where one cat has had their entire backside shaved because of roundworms and extensive matted hair. Another one of the cats in quarantine they suspect to be pregnant with kittens.

Tolbert started as a volunteer with said that one of the biggest myths with the the humane society is the name.

“People that live here and people that visit on the weekends or in the summer think that because of the name that we are a county service and that we get funding from tax dollars,” Tolbert said. “Which is not true, do not get any money from taxes.”

In 2013, HSBC purchased a plot of land and began developing it and after the driveway built they realized constructing a new building was just too expensive.

“It was going to cost around $1.4 million,” Tolbert said.

“Before the humane society, dogs or other strays were tied up behind the house of a town’s supervisor and if it wasn’t claimed after seven days, it was given to a friend or they were put down,” Tolbert said. “People want and expect these things to be handled.”

Burnett County does not have an animal control unit, so the person who finds the stray animal is encouraged to bring it in to the humane society, but often volunteers are sent out to pick up the animal and transport it. However, St. Croix Chippewa tribe has an animal control unit, but HSBC does not often rely on those services.

Tolbert has been to the administration committee for the past three months asking for financial backing to show that they support what HSBC is doing.

“After I presented my idea the jail asked for money,” Tolbert said. “It’s an issue across the whole county.”

Tolbert said the feeling she gets from the committee and county supervisors is that they want to help, but are just having trouble finding the money.

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

This is the new home of the Humane Society of Burnett County on County Road D. The inside is around 7,200 square feet and has been completely gutted. 5,000 of the square feet is for HSBC and the other 2,200 is being rented out by Nexen for storage.

She was asked to bring financial information in and says she is tentative to bring exact numbers on what a remodel would cost because they don’t have an exact plan in place.

“I’d like to move in to the new building as soon as we can and then decide all the details about cabinets,” Tolbert said.

“OUR CURRENT FACILITY IS DETERIORATING” As you walk in the main office at HSBC there are lovely photographs on the walls that were taken by girls at Northwest Passage. The subjects are some of the animals that used to be housed at their facilities. Then you turn to the middle of the floor and there is a big X taped on the floor.

“As you can tell, it’s falling apart and has been for quite some time,” Tolbert said.

The building the dogs are housed in is also deteriorating. There are a couple kennels on one side of the building – that has been converted into a kennel

TEACH: In 2017 schools received over $77,000

– with a few dogs that can go directly outside with the help of a sliding doggy door. On the other side, the dogs have to be led outside through the human door.

“This floor used to be sealed, but we’re washing it everyday and so water is seeping through the floor,” Tolbert said The dog kennel is not helping the animals stress at all, which is already maxed out with being in a kennel and not a home. The door swings open and every one of the dogs is looking to gain your attention.

“It all adds to the stress these animals are already in when they arrive after being abandoned or surrendered to us,” Tolbert said.

An animal is surrendered to the HSBC if the owner can no longer take care of the animal or if they are moving into a retirement home or assisted living facility that does not allow pets.

The trailer the cats are housed in (up until about four months ago were in the same building as the dogs) is a

SOCIAL MEDIA AND FUNDS Tolbert has gone around to the various municipalities in hopes of getting them to commit to an annual donation of $500, which would total $12,000 for a steady annual income.

“If we get a dog, have it checked out for ringworm or rabies, and it is adopted three or four days that would be financially viable,” Tolbert explained.

“But we house these animals for weeks before a viable adoption option becomes available.”

Tolbert said that a lot of stray pets come in to the humane society and with the help of social media they can more easily find the owner.

“Facebook has been really helpful when strays come in,” Tolbert said.

“There are a lot of people who see our page and word travels fast amongst these animal lovers. We’ll post a missing animal and sometimes within a few hours we’ve found the owner.”

Tolbert does plan on going back to the Administration committee next month and intends on speaking with specific county supervisors to explain what HSBC plans on doing with the funds their requesting.

$29,030 in TEACH grants. Superintendent Jim Erickson said the money will be a nice addition for the districts funding next year.

Erickson said no decision has been yet as to what the money will be spent on but said some things for the district to consider is more wi-fi hotspots and upgrading the computers in the various labs in the Webster schools.

“As far as the importance of access, it is the first building block to creating a district’s technology base,” Erickson said Erickson added they have received TEACH infrastructure grants in the past but that money went towards teacher training.

Burgin said they plan on using the grant money for more wireless portable Internet access devices that students will be allowed to check out and take out. The devices will be split up and distributed to the Grantsburg Elementary, Middle, High School, Bus fleet, iForward and a few for the staff.

All three districts have received TEACH infrastructure grants in the past. In the first round of grants in 2017 Webster received $29,931. Grantsburg received $24,768 in the second round of grants in 2017, Siren received $11,276 in the first round and $11,632 in the second round of 2017.

For fiscal year 2018, TEACH infrastructure grants were available to school districts with 16 or fewer students per square mile and the amount available was determined by the number of students in the district.

SIREN –– The Siren Bandshell will celebrate it’s tenth birthday this year. This year also marks the tenth year of Siren in the Park.

The bandshell will be in use on June 7 through August for the Siren Music in the Park summer concert series held on Thursday’s at Crooked Lake Park (the concert series moves to Siren Auditorium in cases of inclement weather). The first Siren Music in the Park act is the St. Croix Orchestra.

Local architect Craig Selander designed the bandshell after former Siren-Webster Rotary President Joe Wacek came up with the plan to build it.

The project cost somewhere between $50,000 - $70,000, paid entirely in cash and in-kind donations. It was built in 2008, but the planning goes back to October of 2004 when Selander was approached by the Rotary.

Chris Moeller, Executive Director of the Siren Chamber of Commerce said the contractor, Jeff Howe, gave them a large discount on building the bandshell and helped get dis-

counts from suppliers for materials to build it.

“It was funded by generous donations by individuals, contractors and suppliers and cash donations from various people,” Moeller said.

“There is a plaque on the back wall of the bandshell that lists donors that gave at various levels.”

Moeller added they also had a brick fundraiser where people bought bricks and could have them inscribed. Then the bricks were laid in the front of the bandshell.

“What put our fundraising over

the top was a $10,000 donation made by a local person that lives in Madison, when this donation was secured construction began,” Moeller said.

The bandshell is also available for rent by individuals or groups for weddings, church services or any other large event.

“In addition, an annual concert by the Siren Community Band is help every July 4th evening, followed by a fireworks display by our Siren Lions Club over Crooked Lake,” Moeller said.

The dreaded bass drum JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Let me start by saying - the most important people were not able to celebrate Memorial Day because they gave their lives for this country.

This country, that defeated Nazi’s and the Imperial Japanese, then held out for the downfall of communism. The same nation that decades before was created after “discovering” the land and defeating the British colonizers. This republic made some poor choices that eventually led to the Civil War, where brothers fought against brothers.

Memorial Day began as Decoration Day following the Civil War in 1868 in the North. The end of May Sentinel was chosen as the date because that is the perfect time for flowers Editor to bloom in the Northern states.

Jonathan Richie But what does that mean for us today?

When I was 10, I knew exactly what Memorial Day meant. It was a day off of school, a final threeday weekend before the 180-day marathon of a school year ended. Sometime in the mid-morning on the last Monday in May we would go to the parade and I knew I would be leaving with at least one full pocket of candy and a mini American flag.

The flag would join my collection of other miniature flags and the candy would be lucky if it made it into the house at all following the parade.

As I got older, Memorial Day weekend and the parade were something I grew weary of. As a fat kid and a member of the percussion section in the band, it meant one thing – carrying the bass drum in the parade. Not just any bass drum though, the biggest one they could find. I would be assigned the bass drum with the school logo on it.

We did not march in shorts and t-shirts. We marched in thick gray wool jackets older than us and long maroon pants - with hats on. The band would be drudging along the route with the director along the side gleefully sipping from his cooled beverage palling around with parade-goers.

This weekend I did not attend any of those types of parades. I went to a handful of Memorial Day ceremonies that focused on the brave men and women that gave their lives to defend this country.

Quite different than a parade that throws candy at kids to keep them entertained while proud veterans walk down the street.

On a somewhat related note, I was told when I moved up here to God’s country in October that in the summer is when there are a lot of people here.

A few people even told me it was an invasion-like atmosphere during these big weekends.

Those people were correct. They also told me to get my grocery shopping done before Thursday because “out of towners will roll through and buy all the food on the way up to their cabin.”

It looks like it has happened again TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

Winter, the bully of the four seasons, overstayed its welcome, pushing the rather fragile and shy season of Spring to the sidelines.

It took Summer, glorious and powerful Summer, to finally get Winter to leave.

From the I am glad to Publisher’s see winter leave, Desk much like one is happy when a Tom Stangl houseguest has h has h overstayed their welcome who finally goes out the front door.

The sudden and welcome transition from winter to summer happened quite quickly, didn’t it?

Have you mowed your lawn yet?

We have mowed ours twice.

It is a wonderful thing to see the plants reawaken. I have very vivid memories of Memorial Day weekend being the time that I realized that everything had awakened.

The trees all had their leaves, the plants that blossom and bloom in the spring are at their most stunning visually and most aromatic.

The scent of lilacs is welcome and familiar. As a child, we had

several lilac bushes in the yard.

I believe it is rather sad that they only bloom for a brief time in the spring.

But the aroma and beauty is worth the wait.

I recall spending the night with a cousin and a storm blew through town. Our next door neighbor’s patio, built on the back of their garage, was blown away in high winds. Even some of the concrete blocks were lifted apart.

A very strong wind gust.

Our lilac bushes were located near this neighbor. When I spoke with my mother the next day, the top headline on the storm was damage to our lilac bush.

The folks that have lilac bushes REALLY like them.

We have some lilac bushes in our back yard and they are in bloom.

The scent is wonderful and takes me back to my childhood.

We also have some rhubarb plants in the back yard. As kids, we would wait until the stems had grown to the proper length, break them off and get an old pot pie tin and fill it half way with sugar. We would then spend time dipping the tart rhubarb in sugar and eat the stems until we were sick.

I’m sure many of you did the same. I can still taste the wonderful combination of tart and sweet,

a true taste of summer.

Mowing the lawn is a therapeutic as well as physical workout. It gives me time to think about whatever is on my mind or forget about whatever is on my mind. My wife and I divide the duties. She takes the lion’s share of the yard with the riding mower, I trim the spots that aren’t easily or safely reached with the riding mower.

This month, our riding lawn mower that we purchased with the house five years ago gave up the ghost. It was time to shop for a new riding mower, not a fun job under the best of circumstances.

After doing lots of research online, we learned that the average lifespan of a riding lawnmower these days is 5-6 years. If you take very good care of them, you can do better.

We’re hoping we can do better with the new mower.

Remember to use sunscreen when you are out there mowing!

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.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

GRANTSBURG SENIORS

Wisconsin congressional delegates tackle health care issues wispolitics.com

Two members of the state congressional delegation are stressing health care issues this election year.

“RIGHT-TO-TRY” U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, is finally getting his “right to try” bill signed into law. The bill allows terminally-ill patients to use treatments not approved by the FDA. Johnson championed the right-totry bill in the Senate, where it passed unanimously last August. It passed the House on May 22 by a 250-169 vote, where only Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Kind crossed party lines to support it.

“Congress restored a little freedom and hope to terminally ill Americans,” Johnson said.

U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, one of two Wisconsin Democrats to oppose the bill, said the measure “sets a dangerous precedent of weakening FDA oversight by broadening access to unproven treatments.”

The House in March passed its own version of the right-to-try bill, which would have caused the Senate to pass that iteration before it could be sent to the president. But House Republicans recently signaled they would take up the Senate’s version of the legislation.

TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Green Bay, along with U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., launched the Trauma-Informed Care Caucus on May 21. The bipartisan caucus aims to boost awareness in Congress of the science-based treatment used to address the cause of major pub-

Hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day with loved ones taking a moment to remember those who sacrificed for us to be able to celebrate. This was the 150th year celebrating Memorial Day, sometimes known as Decoration Day, a time to decorate the graves with flags and flowers. Many of us take this time also acknowledge other family members, too.

Be sure and stop in Saturday morning (Big Gust Day) from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. for cake and coffee as we celebrate our 35th year as a Senior Center. Heard that Steve Wenthe’s buying the ice cream! According to him, “(you) can’t have cake without ice cream!”

We offer Wi-Fi, coffee and goodies, and check out the book nook. Ques-

lic health issues, including addiction, mental health and obesity.

Gallagher said the practice creates a “unique opportunity” for elected officials “to come together and improve health outcomes for the millions of children, families, and adults across the United States who have been impacted by trauma.”

“By working together, we can raise awareness of TIC and its vital role in helping solve some of our nation’s most pressing public health issues,” he said.

Gallagher’s decision to launch the caucus is part of a wider effort led by First Lady Tonette Walker to increase statewide awareness of the approach.

Walker praised the creation of the caucus, saying trauma-informed care helps caregivers “address the root” cause of problems and “improve outcomes” for affected children.

Johnson also introduced a resolution recognizing the importance and effectiveness of trauma-informed care that cleared the Senate on May 22 with unanimous support. The senator thanked Walker for her work backing trauma-informed care since 2011, saying in a statement her efforts mean “Wisconsinites will be better equipped to support those who have experienced trauma.”

SIREN SENIORS

by Nona Severson

This weekend was a tough weekend for driving anywhere in Siren.

You had to be a smart driver – go south so you could go north, as you just could not pull out to make a left-hand turn. Weekends are always busy, but when you throw in a three day holiday, you are definitely going to sit in traffic.

I talked to one person who claimed it took him 3 1/2 hours to come up from the Cities which is usually a two-hour trip. There is so much road construction on all the freeways in the cities.

Rose Miller was the $1 winner on the bingo game.

Did you take in some of the garage sales over the weekend? It seemed like every corner had many signs advertising sales.

Plan Perfect the

days. All of these will be open for Big Gust Day and most Sunday afternoons throughout the summer. They will also open by appointment – it would be a great activity during a family visit this summer. Learn about your own family history by bringing an elderly family member. The displays will trigger memories they wouldn’t otherwise think to pass on.

Grantsburg High School invites local businesses for career expo to pitch to the kids and explain that they can come back to Grantsburg after graduating from college.

This is the third career expo Grantsburg High School has held each year the students get more involved.

“This is all about the kids,” one of the organizers said.

“These businesses are always looking for workers and it’s nice when kids come back here in the village.”

Local businesses came to the school and set up their tables, including freebies for the students. Then students were given passports with five spaces for businesses and other three spaces for educational and military organizations.

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSURG –– Over two dozen Grantsburg businesses gathered in the high school last week to show students what the village can offer them in terms of careers.

Tables were strategically placed inside the cafeteria with perspective employers with another dozen post-secondary career options were located in the gymnasium including branches of the military.

With seniors out of the way, there was more room for freshmen, sophomores and juniors to get a look at their potential careers and how Grantsburg can be a part of that.

Dominoes feature heavily on many of his pieces, serving as substitutes for lights in skyscrapers or stars in other works. But again, Smith doesn’t worry too much about which ones he uses. “I like to see how the pattern comes out.”

At any one time, Smith may have four or five sculptures in progress, which makes sense when you consider some of the construction he is doing. “That way, when I’m waiting for something to dry, I can

Smith says he is thankful to be able to spend his time in the pursuit of something he loves to do. “My wife, Marilyn, has been very supportive of me just tinkering around in here. I feel teaching children has brought me where I am today, and that Jesus has given me this time to experiment.”

Also featured at Smith’s show will be photography by his sons: Simon, 33, currently stationed with the U.S. Navy in Hawaii and Bobby, 29, of Siren. The elder Smith says, “They picked it up on their own, but I’m proud of how skilled they are.”

SIREN—Former art teacher and sculptor David L. Smith found himself at a loss after retiring from teaching four years ago. “I was struggling with having a focus after retiring. I missed teaching children and went through a bit of a depression for a while. Then I decided to start sculpting. My Master of Fine Arts degree is in sculpture, but it went by the wayside as life got busy.” It seems to have been the right move, as Smith will be hosting an exhibition of his work at Tesora Event Center June

The finished products are not pre-planned, Smith admits. “Usually, I find a piece in a store and an idea comes to me. I feel my strong point is playing with items that fit together like a puzzle.”

One such example is Blue Jam, which features a clarinet on top of a stacked wooden base. “One day, I was trying to make some room in here, and I stacked a scrap piece of wood on top of another,” Smith shares. “I happened to look back at it and thought ‘hey, I like that.’” Those very two pieces of wood form the base of the sculp-

Celebrating National Drug Court Month

Brian Billings of Webster commissioned into the U.S. Army POTSDAM—Clarkson University congratulates Brian Billings of Webster on being commissioned into the U.S. Army at the Army ROTC Golden Knight Battalion’s spring commissioning on May 12.

The ceremony featured comments by Clarkson University President Tony Collins and guest speaker retired Army Lieutenant General Bernard Champoux, the uncle of one of the commissioning cadets. General Champoux assignments included Brigade command at Fort Drum and Division Command in Hawaii. His last assignment was as the Commanding General, Eighth United States Army/Chief of Staff, Combined Forces Command, Republic of Korea.

The ceremony also included the swearing in of the new officers, the pinning of their gold bars by family members, and the traditional first salute, known as the “Silver Dollar Salute.”

Billings is majoring in aeronautical engineering major with a business minor.

SUBMITTED BY: TESSA ANDERSON, DRUG COURT COORDINATOR

A courtroom is not a place where you expect to find scenes of celebration and tears of joy, unless it is a drug court. In 2018, more than 150,000 individuals nationwide who entered the justice system due to addiction will receive lifesaving treatment and the chance to repair their lives, reconnect with their families, and find long term recovery.

Nearly 30 years ago the first drug court opened with a simple premise— use the courts to keep individuals, with long histories of addiction and crime, engaged in treatment long enough to be successful. Today drug courts and other treatment courts have proven to not only save lives, but save valuable resources and reduce criminal justice costs.

Burnett County Circuit Court Judge Melissia Mogen, who presides over Burnett County Drug Court, stated, “I have seen firsthand what a drug court can do and achieve. A properly ran drug court reduces recidivism and helps put people on a path to sobriety and success. Drug courts significantly reduce the cost to our county as it is a more cost-effective alternative than sending addicts to jail. It costs Burnett County approximately $17,000 a year to incarcerate an addict, but only costs around $5,000 a year to treat the same offender through drug court. Burnett County Drug Court is an asset not only to the participants, but to the community as well.”

Since its inception in 2006, Burnett County Drug and Alcohol Court has had 82 participants.

Out of the 82 participants, 49 have graduated, 27 terminated from the program, 1 was medically discharged, and there are currently 5 participants. Recovery from alcohol and other drug abuse does not end on graduation day. It is an ongoing process where the life skills and self-esteem that were developed in treatment are necessary for long term sobriety.

Burnett County Drug Court is held the first and third Thursday of the month at 9:30 a.m. If you have any questions please contact Tessa Anderson, Drug Court Coordinator at 715-349-8878 or at tanderson@burnettcounty.org.

Do you have a fondness for something sweet?

Skittles is your answer! Skittles is a small orange and white female with light green eyes. She is a petite girl – about five pounds – and about one year old. She likes to y investigate and be active. i Skittles is a loving and S pleasant cat, and she loves p a attention. Give her a good s snuggle, and she’ll show h appreciation with the her h soft purrs and rubs. her I you’re looking for a bit If o sugar, call HSBC for a of t time to meet Skittles.

We’ve talked a lot about t new Peggy Schilling Skittles the Animal Adoption & Education Center, and some of you may have seen the 3D model of the finished building at the Meow Market. The demolition phase is now mostly complete, and soon the exciting part begins. For those of you who missed it, We’d like to give you a bit of an idea of what’s going to happen in the coming months. .

As you can imagine, there is more space. Most of the north wall will be lined with dog kennels, including a separated area for those under quarantine. Across the hall – and by that we mean across the wall between the dog adoption wing and the hallway – is the cat area. The separation means a bit more quiet for the feline living quarters, withich features windows to give them something to watch. The cats will also have their own quarantine area.

There is also a spacious exam area and night drop off for the local officers, two laundry areas, and three mini-kitchen areas for food prep.

For the humans, there will be a larger lobby and welcome area with office and storage space on the second floor. Also planned are a multi-purpose room, a classroom, and a large community education room all on the main floor. Wouldn’t these be great places to hold dog manners classes or school presentations? The possibilities for those spaces are only limited by our imaginations.

As we head into the summer, just a short note on dogs and fireworks. We up here in the north country love making noise regardless of the holiday (sometimes, just because it’s Friday). Dogs’ hearing is much more sensitive than ours and some dogs are distressed by loud noise. If you don’t know how Sparky is going to react to those awesome new fireworks, it may be a good idea to leave him inside where he’s a little more insulated from the party.

Many dogs are lost when they get startled and take off to hide. We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time!

10 surprisingly common causes of hearing loss

BY MARGERY D. ROSEN, AARP

More than 48 million Americans have some type of hearing loss that seriously disrupts their lives. “That includes one in six baby boomers and two-thirds of those over 70,” says Frank Lin, M.D., associate professor of otolaryngology and epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University. Experts expect that number to rise along with the gray tsunami of aging boomers.

There are two main types of hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss develops when something — congestion from a bad cold, an ear infection, a perforated eardrum — blocks sound signals from reaching the inner ear. Sometimes only one ear is affected. Hearing usually returns to normal after the problem is treated.

Far more serious is sensorineural hearing loss, which involves damage in the inner ear. It can be triggered by loud noise as well as aging. Many people gradually lose some hearing as they get older.

But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do.

Here are 10 unexpected causes of hearing loss and steps you can take to reverse, reduce or prevent these conditions.

CONDUCTIVE HEARING LOSS — which often can be corrected Earwax buildup: This waxy substance, secreted by glands in the outer ear canal, prevents harmful substances — germs, dust and dirt — from reaching the eardrum. Too little wax and your ears are dry, itchy and a breeding ground for infection. Too much can lead to painful earaches and hearing loss, and, in some cases, tinnitus (a ringing in the ears).

What to do: Usually, wax moves naturally to the tip of the canal, where it can be safely wiped away with a washcloth. If this doesn’t happen, your doctor can remove it. Don’t try to do it yourself with a cotton swab, pencil or the tip of your glasses. You may push it deeper or puncture your eardrum.

Perforated eardrum: Infection, explosive noise near the ear, quick changes in air pressure or poking around with a cotton swab can puncture the thin tissue (the eardrum) that separates the outer ear from the middle ear, leading to pain and temporary hearing loss.

METRO CREATIVE

What to do: Although a punctured eardrum usually heals on its own in about two months, it’s best to have your ear checked by an otolaryngologist — an ENT doctor, who specializes in treating the ear, nose and throat. Meanwhile, keep the ears dry; a warm, dry compress and over-the-counter (OTC) medications can help relieve pain.

Ear infection: Though far more common in the preschool set, ear infections because of bacteria or viruses can follow a bout with allergies or the common cold in adults, too. If the eustachian tube, which connects the ear to the throat, is blocked by swelling and inflammation, fluid buildup becomes a breeding ground for infection. The result: ear congestion, pressure, pain, fever or temporary hearing loss.

What to do: Infections usually clear in a few days.

A warm compress and OTC pain medications and decongestants can help. If you have fever or severe pain, call your doctor. You may need antibiotics.

SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS — usually permanent but often preventable Listening to music with earbuds: Since earbuds don’t block outside sounds, listeners often ramp up the volume for hours at a time. But these ubiquitous gadgets amplify sounds so successfully that levels can top 100 decibels, loud enough to cause damage in only 15 minutes. “Anything over 85 decibels is potentially damaging,” says Michael D. Seidman, an ear, nose and throat surgeon at Florida ENT Surgical Specialists in Celebration, Fla. What to do: Since many new earbuds come with a volume control, toss your old ones and buy ones you can adjust. If the person sitting next to you can hear your music, it’s too loud. Music headphones are easier on the ears, but remember to keep the volume low, says Seidman, author of Save Your Hearing Now. All those crazy-loud football games and rock concerts Noise is noise, whether it comes from a rock concert, a leaf blower or a stadium full of football-crazy fans. “Even hair dryers can reach 90 decibels,” Seidman says. While a single incident of explosive sound — such as fireworks or a jackhammer — can lead to hearing loss, more often it’s caused by day-today exposure over an extended period. If you keep going to concerts, games and noisy restaurants, the very delicate hair cells in the inner ear become worn down, causing hearing problems. “The loss is cumulative,” Seidman says. “Once hair cells are damaged, they’re not replaceable.”

What to do: Carry earplugs everywhere. Pick up disposable foam plugs or have some custom-fit. Never stuff cotton balls in your ears, as that can lead to impacted wax and infection. Give your ears a break: Whenever you’re in a noisy venue, find a quiet place to rest your ears for a few minutes. Invest in a pair of noise-canceling headphones to use when mowing the lawn or doing other noisy chores. And consider easing up on the hard-rock concerts.

Tipping the scale: Being overweight — especially if those extra pounds are around your belly — is also a risk factor. In 2013, researchers at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital followed more than 68,000 women in the Harvard Nurses’ Health Study II and found that those who had more body fat and larger waists reported more hearing problems than those of normal weight.

What to do: Get moving. Researchers found that walking for as little as two hours a week cut the risk of hearing loss by 15 percent compared with those who walked less than one hour per week. “We suspect that obesity affects blood flow to the inner ear, compromising hearing, while physical activity may improve blood flow and help protect the ear,” says

lead researcher Sharon G. Curhan, M.D., of Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Diabetes: If you have diabetes, you’re twice as likely to develop hearing loss as people with normal blood sugar levels. Those with prediabetes face a 30 percent greater risk. High glucose levels are risk factors for heart disease, and researchers suspect that the same destructive action is at work on the nerves and blood vessels in the inner ear.

What to do: If you have diabetes, see an ear, nose and throat doctor or audiologist for a hearing screening. To combat glucose overload, be sure to exercise regularly. Also, cut back on highly processed foods, opting instead for fish, vegetables, fruit and whole grains.

Sleep apnea: A study of 13,967 people released in 2014 by the Albany Medical Center in New York found that those with sleep apnea — a stop-and-start breathing disorder — also had an increased risk of hearing impairment. While the connection between sleep apnea and heart disease has been known, this is the first time a link was also made to hearing loss.

What to do: Suspect sleep apnea? See your primary care physician, who may refer you to a sleep specialist. Various lifestyle changes and medical devices that help keep airways open help treat the condition. Make sure to also get your hearing checked by a professional.

Not wearing a hearing aid when you need one: Although not wearing a hearing aid won’t cause hearing loss, there is some evidence that wearing an aid when you need one may help protect the hearing you have left. Unfortunately, two-thirds (or more) of adults 50 and older who might benefit from hearing aids don’t use them. “Most delay several years before accepting they have a problem and doing something about it,” says Brad Stach, an audiologist at the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan. Some people may not realize they have a problem. Others believe that waiting won’t cause any harm; still others are simply embarrassed to admit they can’t hear well. But if you

METRO CREATIVE

don’t wear a hearing aid when you need one, or only wear it some of the time, you can lose the ability to process sounds.

What to do: “Your brain devotes a lot of resources toward hearing well,” says Lin. “When words are garbled, it has to work harder to hear at the expense of other functions.” Not wearing a hearing aid is also a safety concern, because hearing loss has been linked to falls, social isolation, depression and even dementia. So remind yourself that needing help with hearing is no different than needing glasses to read.

Ask your doctor to check your hearing regularly and, if necessary, refer you to an ENT or audiologist who can diagnose the extent of hearing loss and suggest aids or other devices that can help.

Medications: More than 200 drugs, ranging from over-the-counter medications to chemotherapy, can damage hearing, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. A 2016 study of more than 54,000 women ages 48 to 73 by Brigham and Women’s Hospital reported that those who used ibuprofen or acetaminophen for six or more years were at higher risk for hearing loss.

What to do: Be proactive. Ask your health provider about possible long-term effects of any medication — including common OTC drugs — on your hearing.

If there is a concern, monitor your hearing during the course of treatment. And if you notice problems, speak to your doctor immediately.

Four steps to protect your hearing now

BY STACEY COLINO, AARP

If you are over 40 and have trouble hearing clearly in certain situations, you’ve got plenty of company. Fourteen percent of people between the ages of 45 and 64 have some hearing loss, and 30 percent of those over 65 do, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Usually, this stems from getting older and being exposed to loud sounds over many decades.

“It’s important to understand that hearing loss from noise exposure is cumulative, so everything you’ve been exposed to for 50 years adds up over time,” says Sarah Sydlowski, audiology director of the hearing implant program at the Cleveland Clinic.

“Once hearing is gone, it can’t be replaced.” However, you can take steps to protect the hearing you have now. Here are four everyday steps to take.

Lower the volume on personal music devices. “We see a lot of damage from people turning up the volume too

MEETRO CREATIVE

much on iPhones,” says Landon Duyka, an ear, nose and throat physician at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Illinois. His recommendation: If you listen to music with earphones, follow the 60/60 rule — 60 decibels for 60 minutes or less per day. To put this in context, normal speech registers at about 60 decibels, a blow-dryer or kitchen blender at around 80 to 90 decibels, power tools at 100 decibels, and a jackhammer at 130 decibels.

Muffle loud sounds. Wear earplugs when attending

concerts or loud group-fitness classes (spin class, anyone?) or when working with lawn mowers, leaf blowers, snowblowers or other noisy equipment.

To be effective, the plugs need to fit properly. For occasional use, disposable foam earplugs (available in stores or online) may be sufficient. To place them properly, roll them up tightly and insert them into the ear canal as you pull back the back of your ear; the sides of the foam plugs should be flush with the sides of your ear canal, Sydlowski explains.

For extremely loud sounds, consider investing in musicians’ earplugs, which can reduce the volume by 30 decibels, or in protective earmuffs. “Being exposed to moderately loud sounds for a long period of time or to extremely loud sounds for a short period of time can damage hearing — 85 decibels is the cutoff for what you can safely be around for eight hours,” Sydlowski says. For every 3-decibel increase above that, the safe listening time drops in half. (For specific decibel-exposure-time recommendations, go to dangerousdecibels.org.) For very loud sounds, you can double up with earplugs and muffs, Sydlowski says. “The louder the sound, the better it is to have that extra protection.”

Tend to your overall health.

If you smoke, quit — because the habit can harm your hearing by impairing circulation, Sydlowski says. Similarly, certain underlying health conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disorders and diabetes) can contribute to hearing loss by compromising

blood flow. Ménière’s disease (a disorder of the inner ear) and shingles can take a toll on your hearing if they affect the structures in your inner ear; it’s important to get these treated promptly for the sake of your hearing, Duyka says. Also, some medications — including some chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, erectile dysfunction drugs and high doses of aspirin — can be ototoxic (meaning toxic to the ear). If you notice a change in your hearing while taking one of these drugs, be sure to tell your doctor.

Check the volume around you. There are good-quality sound level apps you can download onto your smartphone to gauge the noise levels wherever you are, Sydlowski says.

These include Sound Meter for Androids, the NIOSH Sound Level Meter for iOS devices and Decibel 10 for iPhone and iPad. By using one of these to assess the sound level at work, the gym or a convention, you can make a well-informed decision about whether you’d be wise to pop in a pair of earplugs.

What the medical experts know that you don’t AARP BULLETIN

“You can bring meds.” —The hospital nurse.

Kati Kleber, 31, is a nurse in a cardiac medical-surgical unit in Illinois.

If you’re in the hospital, designate one point person to be your communicator. Answering questions from your family and friends takes time away from caring for you.

Ask for pain relief earlier, please.

Don’t be a hero. On a scale of 0 (painfree) to 10 (worst ever), call the nurse when you reach about a 4. It could take me 30 minutes to bring you what you need and another 30 to 45 minutes for it to take effect. Pain interferes with healing.

Yes, you can bring in your own drugs.

If you take an expensive medication, it may be worth bringing it with you to the hospital. The drug must be in its original container with the original label. The hospital pharmacy will add a bar code so it can be documented in your chart when you take it.

“Knee surgery might not help much.” — The doctor.

Leslie Greenberg, 48, is a board-certified family physician practicing in the Reno, Nev., area.

Please, wash up before your appointment. Bathing is important. Cologne is unwelcome.

Your doctor knows when you’re fibbing. I have been a physician for 22 years and a mother for 17 years, so there’s not much that gets past me. If the patient gives me untruthful information or doesn’t take my advice but tells me they have, there’s not much I can do to help.

Understand I don’t know what your drugs cost you. There are so many different insurance plans out there, and drug coverage changes every year. But

METRO CREATIVE

I try to know what the least expensive medication is within a class of drugs.

Bring your coverage booklet to appointments, or ask for a paper prescription so you can go online to determine the cost.

Think twice about popular knee treatments. A whopping 700,000 surgeries are performed each year in the U.S. to fix tears in the meniscus, a piece of tissue between knee-joint bones. Tens of thousands more get joint injections of hyaluronic acid. But studies show these expensive and invasive treatments usually don’t help much. Your best bet: pain relievers like acetaminophen (or ibuprofen or naproxen, as recommended by your doctor), plus physical therapy.

“Always get an itemized hospital bill.” — The medical bill advocate.

Victoria Caras is a former attorney and owner of Aspen Medical Billing Advocates in Colorado.

When you communicate with your health insurer, many of them will assign a reference or log number to the call. Ask if your insurer does, and if so, write down the number, along with the date and time of the call, the name of the person you spoke with and the information you received. It’ll make it easier to find a record of the call if you have to refer to it later on.

Most hospital bills contain errors, but you probably can’t spot them.

Errors that could yield savings for consumers are often hidden in items with hard-to-decipher hospital coding. For example, you probably can’t judge whether you used all the oxygen charged to your bill during a surgery.

But do ask for an itemized bill and check to make sure you weren’t charged twice for a procedure and to verify dates of service.

“Ninety percent of people floss wrong.” — The dental hygienist.

Barbara Tritz, 58, is a registered hygienist in Edmonds and Bellevue, Wash.

Brushing only reaches the exposed surface of a tooth. Use tools to get at the hidden part of a tooth, like a water flosser or an interdental brush. Those are the small cylindrical brushes that you can push between your teeth.

Ninety percent of people floss the wrong way. Swiping once between teeth with a slippery floss doesn’t do much — you might get food debris out, but bacteria and plaque really cling to your teeth below the gumline. It takes five to 10 up-and-down swipes below the gumline of each tooth to really dislodge it.

The kind of floss you use is critical.

I like woven floss — it really grabs the plaque.

“You probably don’t need annual

X-rays.” —The dentist.

Mark A. Burhenne, 58, is in private practice in Sunnyvale, Calif., and blogs and answers dental health questions at askthedentist.com.

Your toothbrush is probably too big, too hard and too old. You need a small brush with extra-soft bristles.

A small head is easier to maneuver in your mouth so you can reach all tooth surfaces.

And soft bristles won’t harm your gums as much. When toothbrush bristles wear down, the tips become sharper and more irritating. Replace your toothbrush or the head of your electric brush once a month. When bought in bulk, they’re much cheaper than if you purchase one at a time.

An electric toothbrush will probably get your teeth cleaner. This is especially true for older people, whose plaque is stickier and more difficult to remove with a manual toothbrush, because they produce less saliva.

I see a huge improvement when people make the switch from manual toothbrushes to electric ones.

You probably don’t need annual dental X-rays. Most people don’t need new X-rays any more frequently than every 18 to 36 months. Some dentists order them routinely every year, but it is a knee-jerk reaction, and it’s not really the standard of care.

X-rays are expensive and expose you to radiation, and we have other ways to spot cavities. If your dentist orders them more often, ask why.

Snack smarter. It’ll lower your odds for cavities. Crackers and pretzels made with white flour, sugary foods and candy feed bacteria, which produce more acid in your mouth. Nuts, healthy meats and a cup of green tea are better choices.

Building a better prescription bottle

BY CHRISTINA IANZITO, AARP

METRO CREATIVE

Leaders needed for ADRC workshops The ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin provides a number of excellent educational workshops throughout the year. A big component that makes these programs extraordinary are the program leaders! Some of our leaders are volunteers and some are employees from organizations that we have partnered with to provide the program. They have diverse backgrounds and experiences that add to the credibility and value of the programs.

We are currently searching for individuals interested in volunteering to become leaders or organizations interested in partnering to support employees who may be interested in becoming a leader for a couple great programs.

First, we are hoping to continue the Sip & Swipe Café program in Polk and Burnett Counties but to do so we need people to lead these workshops. Sip & Swipe Cafes, first initiated in our area last year, is a program focused on providing older adults a comfortable and welcoming opportunity to learn how to use a tablet. Tablets, pretty much smaller versions of computers, are handy and being used everywhere; they are also a cheaper way to gain access to email, the internet and many other applications computers provide. But where can you go to learn to use one of these devises without getting lost and overwhelmed within the first 30 seconds? Sip & Swipe Cafés!

Are you somewhat familiar with a tablet? Can you navigate the internet? Most importantly are you patient, kind, and interested in helping others learn to use one? Give us a call! You do not have to be a computer wizard to lead Sip & Swipe Cafes—you really just need to be patient, understanding and welcoming!

Secondly, we are searching for someone with a healthcare or health and wellness background that is passionate about helping older adults reduce their risk for falling by helping facilitate and co-lead Stepping On workshops in the Burnett County area. Stepping On is one of the evidence based healthy aging workshops we provide at the ADRC. Within this seven-week workshop, participants learn about all areas of fall prevention—strength and balance, medications, vision, community safety, home safety, assistive devices and so much more!

Again, you do not need to be an expert in fall prevention but rather have some experience working with older adults and facilitating and speaking in front of small groups. You must also be kind and patient and have a passion for helping individuals in our communities avoid that one life changing fall!! All other training is provided!

Somewhat interested? Want to learn more?

Give the ADRC a call at 877-485-2372 and reference the program you are interested in learning more about. Interested but don’t have a lot of extra time—give us a call! We are willing to work with you! Are you from an organization that might be interested in partnering with us, DEFINITELY give us a call! Partnerships are the key to sustaining programs like these!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Ever find the instructions on your prescription bottle baffling? You’re not alone. Nearly half of people taking medication say they’ve been confused by a label. In Wisconsin, for example, a survey showed that almost 23 percent said the problem caused them to take drugs incorrectly, says Steve Sparks, director of the nonprofit Wisconsin Health Literacy.

The reasons: vague instructions (“Take as directed”), tiny print and the difficulties of coordinating dosages of multiple medications. Sparks says, “You would not believe how many people say, ‘I take five medications, each one of them has a

‘Our objective is to make it clear when and how customers should take their medicines.’

Kevin Hourican President of CVS Pharmacy different schedule, and I can’t keep track of them — so I just take them all in the morning.’ ” But efforts are underway to make prescription labels simpler and schedules easier to manage. Wisconsin Health Literacy has worked with patients to design new labels, which are being rolled out in many pharmacies across that state. The most important

METRO CREATIVE

information is at the top in a large, bold typeface, including the names of the patient and the drug.

Sparks calls the labels “a critical line of defense against medication errors and adverse drug effects.”

CVS is in the process of introducing its new ScriptPath prescription labels, which the company hopes will be available in all of its more than 9,700 pharmacies nationwide by midsummer.

“Our objective is to make it clear when and how customers should take their medications,” says Kevin Hourican, president of CVS Pharmacy, the company’s retail business.

The Department of Veterans Affairs introduced simpler standardized medication labels in 2013, with clear directions at the top and the name of the drug in bold and

highlighted in yellow. The VA used veterans’ input to make them “easy to read, intuitive and safer,” says Douglas Paull, M.D., acting chief officer of the VA’s National Center for Patient Safety.

The changes both in Wisconsin and at the VA are in keeping with the latest patient-friendly recommendations from the nonprofit advisory group U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), which sets recommendations for prescription labeling. Each state has its own specific requirements, which focus mostly on what the labels must state but not on the clarity of that content.

Many pharmacies offer services to ease the hassles of taking medication.

LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE Federal law requires pharmacies to make rea-

sonable efforts to provide translation services for prescription instructions, but they’re often very limited. California is one of a handful of states with firmer regulations, requiring pharmacies to offer instructions in Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean or Russian on request.

MAGNIFIED TEXT At Walgreens, customers can request prescription instructions that are in large print and easier to read. Rite Aid offers “large-font-format” labels.

TALKING LABELS Walgreens pharmacists will record audio instructions for people with vision impairment. An audio device is attached to the medication bottle.

Hospice care provides compassion and support at a time when it’s needed the most.

Tigers boys second at Track Sectionals

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BOYCEVILLE—The Webster Tiger boys track team placed second at the Division 3 track meet at Boyceville last week, earning the right to go to the state finals at LaCrosse.

Dustin Kern (300 meter hurdles), Austin Moser (shot put and discus), the 4x400 meter relay team(Kern, M. Schaaf, Doriott, Formanek) and the 4x800 meter team (Erickson, Doriott, M. Schaaf, Formanek) all had firsts at the meet.

Harlo Olson had a second place finish in the discus and a fifth in the shot. Besides the relay, Joey Formanek placed seventh in the 400 meter dash. Mason Schaaf and Carter Doriott were third and eighth respectively in the 800 meter run.

Pirates advance to Sectional finals Tuesday night’s results

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates are one win away from punching their ticket to Madison after defeating the Chequamegon Screaming Eagles 6-2 on Tuesday night in the Sectional semi-finals.

The start of Tuesday’s game was delayed briefly due to a quick storm that swept through Grantsburg.

When the heavy rain quit the crew took to the field and quickly got everything set to play.

The Pirates got on the scoreboard first, scoring a run in the bottom of the first inning to go up 1-0.

Grantsburg scored again in the fourth inning, when they brought four across the plate. Ellie Duncan singled to start the hitting, followed by a single

by Isabelle Quimby. Susan Roberts laid down a perfect bunt which scored Duncan. Mackenna Johnson was intentionally walked to load the bases. That was a decision the Eagles probably regret as Emma Quimby stepped up to the plate and pounded out a double to clear the bases.

The Pirates took a 5-1 lead heading into the fifth inning.

The Eagles scored their last run in the top of the fifth inning on a passed ball. The Pirates answered back with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning to make it a 6-2 game.

Grantsburg had 11 hits in the game. Emma Quimby led the Pirates with three doubles on the night.

Rylee Hoffman got the start in the circle for the Pirates and got the win. Cassidy Chenal came in to pitch the last two innings, striking out five batters.

The Pirates advance to the Sectional final game on Thursday night in Shell Lake. They will face Thorp who defeated Regis on Tuesday night. Game time is 5 p.m.

GRANTSBURG—It was a mixed batch of rain, wind and foul weather for some and OK weather for others.

The Luck/Frederic at Webster baseball game, Division 3 Regional semifinal, was rained out and postponed to Wednesday May 30 at 5 p.m.

Cumberland defeated Unity 11-1 and will face the winner of the Luck/Frederic vs Webster game at a time to yet be determined, according to the WIAA website. Should Webster win, the game will be at Webster.

A Division 4 game was completed. The Northwood Evergreens edged by a stubborn Siren Dragon squad by a 5-3 tally. No details were available at press time.

Sectional golf was underway at the Luck Golf Course and they were under a rain delay for a period of time.

When play continued, Luck/Frederic was in first, shooting a team 320. Eleva-Strum, Osseo-Fairchild Spring Valley, and Durand were the next four in line.

Grantsburg was six with a card of 363.

Next were Glenwood City,Unity, Washburn, Chequamegon, Birchwood and Prentice.

Ethan Alexander of Luck/Frederic was medalist with a 71.

Grantsburg’s top golfer was Joey Duncan in a tie for 17th place, recording an 83. Jared Lee shot an 87 and Gus Bergman an 89.

Brett Johnson of Webster had a 94.

Grantsburg’s other two golfers, Justin Patterson and Dawson Roberts, finished with a 104 and 105 respectively.

Luck/Frederic and Eleva/Strum move on as teams to State competition.

A Memorable Memorial Day The following is based on a true story.

Some of the facts have been modified to make my brother look bad.

Memorial Day, 2018 started off like most Monday holidays. Sleep in a little, start the day slowly, talk about how happy we are to not have work or school today. This Memorial Day turned out to be a special double holiday whammy for the Rombachs as it was also my mom’s birthday weekend.

So, all the kids and grandkids pile into our respective minivans, our three little families, and meet at a pre-planned location so we can arrive at my parent’s house at the same time.

Of course, my minivan was the last one there because, well, not me. I’ll leave it at that.

On the way there one of my sons asks if Grandma knows we’re coming or if it’s a surprise. It’s a surprise we say. He says, well we better not yell too loud, we don’t want her to have a heart attack.

We get to our rendezvous point a little after 4:30 and proceed to caravan our minivans down their road. We all arrive at the same time and the fifteen of us swarm their house like translucent locusts (seriously, the Rombach spouses and some of the kids are border-line luminescent).

Much to my son’s relief, Grandma survives the initial wave and we start unloading all the stuff we brought to

Inside the Huddle Bob Rombach

the party. Bratwurst, hot dogs, fruit, chips, salsa, all the fare for a good old fashioned American cookout.

So, it’s up to my dad to grill. This has never been a problem before. Today we had an Apollo 13 level problem.

Before I continue and throw my dad under the bus, it’s worth noting that he did put this shindig together spur of the moment because he’s a good husband and father. Ok… that’s probably a large enough brownie point down payment.

Let’s see where this story goes.

Dad has one of those super-mega-huge grills. Two normal people sized grills soldered together with two folding, expandable wings to dress your brontosaurus if needed.

My dad did some quick math and realized that to make sure everyone had enough brats and hot dogs to eat he would make about… all of them.

He completely covered the grill. It was a half-acre of processed meat products. No space anywhere. It was a Tetris masterclass. Maybe he figured they’d shrink as they cooked. Maybe he thought we were all coming off a hunger strike. Maybe he just thought it looked cool. Whatever the reason, both Jack and Rose would’ve had enough room on this meat-raft to float away from the Titanic had they had the good fortune to come across this marvel in the icy Atlantic.

So far, so good, I think as Dad comes in from outside to cut the buns. I look outside and see the lid of the grill has been lowered into place and I thought to myself, “man, I miss being able to close the lid on my grill”. If I close my lid, whatever was in there to begin with disintegrates within twelve seconds.

Well, the stuff on the back part of the grill. The stuff near the front actually gets colder somehow. I don’t know, I got

it in Illinois. Stupid Illinois.

So, we’re all mingling around for a few minutes, but something is just bugging me. Dad’s been working on those buns for a long time now I wonder how the meat’s doing… HOLY MOTHER OF KIRBY PUCKETT… there’s smoke billowing from under the hooded death trap. Kids are running towards the lake screaming, “SAVE YOURSELVES”, a DNR plane circles overhead.

I, being the bravest of all the brothers, head to the deck to battle the smoke monster (seriously, BILLOWING from under the closed lid). I know what’s about to happen, yet I’m still unprepared. I reach for the lid and open it as quickly as I could. WHOOMPF. Remember that movie, Backdraft?

Yeah, it was like that.

The smell of singed hair struck me first. I still couldn’t see the actual mass of wieners that still lay on the metal grating of the grill. No, just the smoke and fire. Blazing all around. A meat fueled inferno.

The heat grew so intense I needed to back away from the grill. Dad! What have you done?!?

My senses return enough to yell out to my Mom, “MOM! We need a spray bottle, right NOW! Now, I don’t think my mother caught the nuance of my death shriek as she sauntered into wherever she keeps her spray bottles, then sauntered back out.

“Do you want water in here?” She half says, half sings.

MOM…. YOUR DECK IS GOING TO CATCH FIRE! YOUR HOUSE IS GOING TO BURN DOWN, THIS SITE WILL BE REFERED TO AS GROUND ZERO FOR THIS EVENT. FILL THE SPRAY BOTTLE! I yelled respectfully.

My dad, while my mom was flitting around filling the spray bottle in the

kitchen, was at the grill trying to tame the fire with the smallest spatula anyone has ever manufactured. He has this great, manly grill and this Easy Bake Oven Deluxe Spatula he’s trying to use to move the pile of wieners around to put out the fire. It becomes worse. He’s just stoking it now.

“Dad, you’re making it worse,” says my brother.

“I’m a Marine! It’s under control!”

Dad yells back, instinctively.

I turn to my brother, who up until that nugget of advice was mostly laughing uncontrollably, “nice of you to stop laughing for a second and chip in, buddy.”

He starts laughing again. How is he the favorite? I have no idea.

My mom finally finishes with the spray bottle. Seriously, house burning down around her and she has the ONE THING that can keep this from going full tragedy and she decides to do some little spray bottle dance before handing it to me.

I hand it off to the Marine and he sprays down Bratoshima and Hotdogasaki and finally our would-be Memorial Day supper is visible.

Oh, the tragedy of that befell that carpet of meat.

My dad stared at it for a long moment.

Twitched. And looked away. Post traumatic sausage disorder.

The family gathered around solemnly to view the remains to pay our final respects.

The children returned, still fearful, but trusting us when we say the worst is over and it’s safe to come near.

That’s when we notice the garden hose next to the grill, mocking us.

Memorial Day 2018 will certainly be remembered by the Rombach family for many, many years to come.

Washburn named Gatorade Wisconsin’s Baseball Player of the Year

CHICAGO—In its 33rd year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company announced Jack Washburn of Webster High School as its 2017-18 Gatorade Wisconsin Baseball Player of the Year.

Washburn is the first Gatorade Wisconsin Baseball Player of the Year to be chosen from Webster High School.

The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Washburn as Wisconsin’s best high school baseball player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year, Washburn joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Derek Jeter (1991-92, Kalamazoo High School, Mich.), Jon Lester (2001-02, Bellarmine Preparatory School, Wash.), David Price (2003-04, Blackman High School, Tenn.), Clayton Kershaw (2005-06, Highland Park High School, Texas), Rick Porcello (2006-2007, Seaton Hall Preparatory School, N.J.) and Kris Bryant (2009-10, Bonanza High School, Nev.).

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound junior right-handed pitcher and outfielder had led the Tigers to a 20-2 record at the time of his selection. Washburn owned a 6-0 record on the mound with one save and a 0.23 earned run average, striking out 58 batters in 30 innings pitched. At the plate, Washburn had posted a .464 batting average with nine home runs, 37 runs, 47 runs batted in

and 12 steals through 22 games. In a 22-2 win over the Luck-Frederic co-op team on May 18, he hit four home runs and drove in 11 runs.

Washburn, whose father and coach, Jarrod, won a World Series with the Los Angeles Angels in 2002, has volunteered locally as part of community beautification projects and as a youth baseball coach. He has also donated his time with an elementary school literacy-outreach program.

“Jack is the best high school pitcher I have ever seen,” said Jovin Kroll, head coach of Northwestern High. “He brings it. His fastball has great pop and

Eagles’ late rally ends Pirates’ season

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—The Grantsburg Pirates headed south to take on the Unity Eagles in the opening round of playoff action on Thursday night.

The Pirates held a 6-3 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, but a questionable call by the field ump kept the Eagles alive and they were able to rally late runs to take the 8-6 win to advance.

Both teams were scoreless in the first inning.

The Pirates got on the board in the top of the second inning when both Ben Johnson and Sven Johnson got on base with singles. Teddy Vitale hit a line drive single to right centerfield to score both Johnsons to make it a 2-0 game.

But the Eagles answered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the second to take the lead, 3-2.

Ricky Clark scored in the fourth to knot it up at 3-3, then Austin

Wedin and Bryce Roufs both crossed the plate in the top of the fifth to take back the lead for the Pirates at 5-3.

Wedin would score again in the top of the sixth to make it 6-3.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Unity’s lead off batter reached on a

knee watching first base and did not see the play.

After discussing it with the ump from behind the plate, who missed the play as well, they called the runner safe to keep the inning alive for the Eagles. They scored four runs to take the 8-6 lead heading into the seventh.

This is when things got interesting. The Eagles had two outs with bases loaded. The batter hit a single to the Pirate shortstop who scooped the ball and tossed it to second base for the play.

his curveball is a nightmare. I’d rank him as the last player in the state I’d want to play against.”

Washburn has maintained a 3.94 GPA in the classroom. He has made a verbal commitment to play baseball on scholarship at Oregon State University beginning in the fall of 2019.

The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls

track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by the Gatorade Player of the Year Selection Committee, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.

Washburn joins recent Gatorade Wisconsin Baseball Players of the Year Ben Dragani (2016-17, Catholic Memorial High School), Gavin Lux (2015-16, Indian Trail High School), Jack Eagan (2014-15, Wautoma High School), Jeren Kendall (2013-14, Holmen High School), Scott Schreiber (2012-13, Kimberly High School), Kyle Cody (2011-12, McDonell Central Catholic High School), Sam Mahar (2010–11, Tremper High School), Bobby Juan (2009-10, Central), Brad Schreiber (2008–09, Kimberly), Phil Schreiber (2007-08, Kaukauna), and Nick Rice (2006-07, Tremper) among the state’s list of former award winners.

As a Gatorade Player of the Year, Jack will be able to select a national or local youth sports organization to receive a grant as part of the Gatorade Play It Forward program. Every Gatorade Player of the Year state winner receives a $1,000 grant to donate and will have the opportunity to enter for an additional $10,000 spotlight grant by writing a brief essay explaining why their selected organization deserves additional support. 12 spotlight grants – one for each sport – will be announced throughout the year.

The Pirates were unable to get anything going in the top of the seventh inning, and this is where the game ended as did the Pirates season.

Grantsburg ends their season with a 4-11 record and 3-5 conference record.

It didn’t last long, however.

Mackenna Johnson and Emma Quimby each saw four pitches, all of which were balls putting runners at first and second when Brooke Quimby stepped to the plate. It only took two pitches to her before she saw what she liked, taking a big swing to send the ball sailing over the centerfield fence for the three-run home run.

The next three batters for the Pirates— Cassidy Chenal, Rachel Tooze and Rachel Glover, all hit doubles scoring two more runs to make it a 5-2 game at the end of the first inning.

“We connected with the ball and had some heads up plays,” continued the coach. “The improvement through out the year was great and I look forward to having the majority of the team back next year!”

He qualified for State in placing second in the discus with a throw of 131’-06” and was in the terrible number five spot in shot put with a very respectable throw of 44’-07.25. Unlike many of his senior teammates, he has seasons left to improve upon his performance.”

“The 4X400 concluded our

exciting Sectional meet. There is just something really fun about watching the last relay.

They have nothing to save it for and the top five teams were tightly grouped. Our boys, Dustin Kern, Xavier Stanton, Mason Schaaf and Joey Erickson, improved their race time by a couple seconds winning the event with a time of 3:32.41.

Said Dragon coach Rick Larson, “Siren will send three athletes to the State track meet at La Crosse. Senior Noah Koball returned in the discus and the shot and Colton den Hoed

is going in the 400.”

For the girls, Jeni Petersen qualified for State. She’ll be representing the Webster Tigers in the pole vault. “She had a busy Sectional meet with triple, pole vault and relays

happening in a short window of time,” quipped Coach Ward.

“She triple jumped three inches further for a personal best of 32’-4.25” and placed sixth. Sam Nelson ran her best 800 time of the season and placed ninth with a time of 2:40.33. Skyler (Winkler) placed 12th in the 100 meter dash, running it in 13.72. Ali Moritz improved her Regional time in the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 52.28 and placed ninth. Our girl relays didn’t have the races they were hoping for. It sure was a fun season watching them run so fast.”

Junior Julia Cederberg will make her first appearance in the discus for the Dragons.

In conclusion from Coach Ward, “Each of the last three meets the competition has gotten tougher. These Tigers are off the biggest event in track and field, the State Meet at UW-La Crosse. If you have never been there, it is really something to experience. I am excited to be taking a nice group of athletes to experience it.”

The State Track Meet is June 1-2 at LaCrosse.

Regional Hospice thanks hospice volunteers Most of us remember a person who seemed to go out of their way to help us during a difficult time in our life – a grandparent, a special teacher, even a stranger who became a friend. The recollections of these caring people remind us of the good within each of us and make up the communities we are part of. Nowhere will you find more compassionate people than the volunteers who serve in hospices across the country.

Regional Hospice celebrated a special a time to honor those caring individuals that do so much for so many – particularly those hospice volunteers that accompany people during life’s final journey.

Whether a volunteer is serving at the bedside, giving much needed respite to caregivers, helping in the office, or helping with the Spring Fling, they are a part of the special care that brings compassion and dignity to patients and their families coping with life-limiting illness and loss.

Regional Hospice is so grateful for the many kind, caring and compassionate volunteers that we are proud to have as a part of our organization. We are truly humbled and inspired by the important work that they do. Thank You Volunteers!

Caring for my neighbor

Pastor Danny Wheeler Yellow Lake Lutheran Church

A lawyer asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?â&#x20AC;? Jesus said to him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is written in the law? What do you read there?â&#x20AC;? He answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.â&#x20AC;? Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.â&#x20AC;? But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And who is my neighbor?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Luke 10:25-29.

Jesus answers by telling the story of the Good Samaritan and defines the meaning

of neighbor to include neighbors next door and faraway. Neighbor means to see every single human being as one family. (Luke 10:30-37) The parable shows both mercy and what cold hearts look like. Those who pass by on the other side should know better because they knew the scriptures. But maybe they were afraid that it could be a setup, a trap.

People still live in fear today. It is a world divided. Jesus enters this world to bring us together. The Good Samaritan was the least likely person in the story to give aid. It is fear prevents us from being good neigh-

PILGRAM LUTHERAN FREDERIC (ELCA)

THE WOODLAND CHURCH

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH, ELCA

bors. God has come to us to take away our fears and the division that divides us from other human beings who have been created in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image. The Good Samaritan saw the man lying on the ground and took action. Grace abounds. God saw our need and comes to us in the flesh. We are like the wounded traveler, who has been broken by sin and death and despair and left on the side of the road to die. We are rescued and redeemed by the only one who is perfectly able to see with eyes of mercy, Jesus our Savior.
