“I don’t really like the name ‘cold case’ as I think it implies we have pushed it off to the side and as law enforcement, we never give up, we never quit searching for the answers,” said Polk County Sheriff Brent Waak during a press conference last week regarding the 2009 disappearance of Rose Marie Bly. Last week marked 10 years since the disappearance of Bly who was a 21-year-old mother of two. August 21, 2009, Bly left her residence in rural St. Croix Falls destine for Cushing, a six mile drive to the east and she has never been seen since. Later her 2001 Pontiac Grand Am was unexplainably found in Grantsburg.

Grantsburg Police found her car in the municipal lot west of the Post Office in downtown Grantsburg. A few weeks after the car was found the village

Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy stepping down next month KAYLA CASEY SENTINEL STAFF

Wisconsin Republican Congressman Sean Duffy is set to resign this fall. He made the announcement on Facebook Monday morning, saying he will be resigning in September. As he and his wife prepare for their ninth child due in October, they learned that she will be needing more love, time and attention due to some complications, one of those complications being a heart condition.

Duffy was elected to the House in 2011 and has represented Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District for eight years, which covers Wausau and most

of Northern Wisconsin. He has also served on the House Financial Services Committee during his tenure.

In Duffy’s Facebook post, he wrote: “Next to marrying Rachel, representing you- the people and families of Wisconsin’s 7th District- in congress has been the highest honor of my life.

Together, we have engaged in the most important battles of our time: protecting freedom of speech and religious liberty, taking care of our veterans, defending the unborn, and saving American jobs and American capitalism.”

Duffy reported that being in Washington four days a week has taken a toll on him and his family life so he will be

stepping down on September 23. Having a large family to take care, his family life is quite busy, and it has become a challenge to juggle both the family and work life. After learning about his upcoming baby girl’s health conditions, he knew it was time for a change.

“With much prayer, I have decided that this is the right time for me to take a break from Duffy public service in order to be the support my wife, baby and family need right now. It is not an easy decision- because I truly

love being your congressman- but it is the right decision for my family, which is my first love and responsibility.”

Duffy and his family have been very grateful for the prayers said on behalf of their family and they hope that they continue to come. He states that he is going to miss being a Congressman, but he is very much looking forward to having more family time.

“I am looking forward to having more time with my family, being home for more birthdays and hockey games, and having time to enjoy and care for our new baby girl, who is already so loved by our family.”

possibility of her being in the lake,” former Grantsburg Chief of Police Jeff Schinzing told the Sentinel in 2009.

“There has been extensive searching. There has been a lot of effort to find Rose. It is always in the back of every officer’s mind, ‘Where is Rose Bly?’ because this mystery is solvable,” said Waak who was a Polk County Patrol Sargent when Bly went missing.

“Her mother has not seen her in 10 years. Our community wants these questions answered. Since 2009 we have handled over 200 tips on this case and we have interviewed over 150 people.”

The Polk County Sheriff’s department has decided to focus on technology to push Bly’s case out into the open.

Waak said, “We really feel our strongest chance to bring closure to this, is to reach out to the public. We need someone to come forward with that critical piece of information.”

The department has produced a video they have shared with the media and posted to their Facebook page. “Our hope is that we can stimulate some talk in the social media avenue as well as just get our

message out to the community that we are still looking for answers in the mystery of the disappearance of Rose Marie Bly,” said Waak.

With changes in social media during the 10 years since Bly’s disappearance the department is hopeful the way technology has evolved will provide a

farther reach by stimulating conversation. Waak said, “We are a connected society now.

We want people to share the video, share the story and start talking again about this.”

During the just under five minute video, Bly’s mother Candus Harer, shares the pain she has experienced during

the past decade. “It’s horrible.

It’s hard to deal with. My life will never be normal without knowing where my daughter is. With a missing child there is a hole in your heart that cannot be filled,” said Harer.

“We really want to show people that our community is hurting with the loss of Rose

Bly. We have a family that is hurting from the loss of Rose Marie Bly. We want to put conclusion to this case. We are hoping by releasing this video we can gain some more information. Somebody out there knows something and they can come forward and help us bring this mystery to a close,” said Waak.

Included as part of the video, an age-enhanced photo has been released. “If Rose is out there, we believe this is what she could look like. Our hope is Rose Bly could come home and knock on the door and say, ‘Mom I’m home.’ We have looked at a lot of angles on this.

Our focus at this time is to shift and try something new.

Somebody knows where she was going, what happened and where she is,” said Waak.

Making a final plea towards the video’s end, Harer expressed tears are constant when struggling with not knowing what happened to her youngest daughter. She said, “Rosie if you’re out there, I still have the same number.”

If you have any information on the disappearance or whereabouts of Rose Marie Bly, please contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office tip line at 715-485-8300.

SIREN––The School District of Siren will have two new banners to hang in the school after returning from a leadership conference in the Wisconsin Dells.

This is the second year in a row Herman and her staff have returned from the annual conference with plaques and banners from the Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) conference earlier this month.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, PBIS, “is a systemic approach to

proactive, school-wide behavior based on a Response to Intervention (RtI) model. PBIS applies evidence-based programs, practices and strategies for all students to increase academic performance, improve safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish a positive school culture.

Elementary school principal Carrie Herman told the board Monday night about a recent trip her and some staff made to the Wisconsin Dells where they won a number of awards, received a trio of certificates and two banners to join the ones from last year.

Herman introduced Tina

Karsten, Elizabeth Proctor and Carolyn Schrooten. The school was awarded silver level in reading and bronze level in math and behavior.

The middle and high school both reached silver level for behavior.

Karsten explained to the board that the techniques they are now incorporating are not new, but are making them better teachers.

“These are things we are already doing, but this is making them better,” Karsten said of the Response to Intervention model. “It’s really great for the kids and the staff.”

Alan W. Byers, 43, Grantsburg, was given a tenyear sentence for repeated sexual assault of a child.

He will serve three years in state prison and then seven years in extended supervision.

Byers pleaded guilty to one count of repeated sexual assault of a child, a class C Felony, in March and had his sentencing hearing earlier this month.

Online court records show Judge Dan Tolan presided over the sentencing.

There will be a restitution hearByers ing in the future to cover the cost of therapy for the victim. He is now a convicted felon and may not possess a firearm.

Tolan also said Byers now must register as a sex offender for life and must comply with all sex offender registry requirements.

According to the criminal complaint, in August, detectives had just begun reviewing Byers’ case after speaking with the victim’s mother when he showed up at the Sheriff’s Department lobby, saying, “I did something bad.”

When the detective and a social worker interviewed Byers, he was very tense and spoke slowly.

He explained that it began when the juvenile pulled his pants down and touched his penis.

Byers said she initiated it, but he did not stop her, and said it happened numerous times. He also said that he was “not right in the head.”

When interviewed, Byers was very tense and spoke slowly.

It’s practically here One more week.

In just a few days it will be back. In full bloom.

It will be played on streets, in backyards, on dirt fields and freshly mowed lawns. Some people will play it on a fake surface called astroturf while others will enjoy it while sitting with 50,000 of their new best friends while drinking beer and screaming at millionaires.

That’s right people, it will soon be football season.

The sport that encompasses weekends. Friday nights are the important ones for high school. But don’t forget about Saturday and then the pure joy that encompasses a good Sunday of football.

You wake up, head on into church then it’s onto the couch for the rest of the day.

The Green Bay Packers still have my beloved Aaron Rodgers, but that’s about it. Clay Matthews is Sentinel gone and the team parted way with Coach Mike McCarthy last year. In Editor my opinion it was five years late, Jonathan Richie but it’s better than keeping a guy around just because of one title.

Based on principle, I don’t watch preseason football. It is a waste. Nobody is really trying besides the 40 guys on each team that will eventually be cut by the team before Labor Day. While I’ve always been a Packers fan, I am no fool. I can see that the Minnesota Vikings aren’t the laughing stock they usually are. There were the years the Vikings had Randy Moss and Daunte Culpepper But hey, at least you’re not the Chicago Bears.

They had one of the “greatest” quarterbacks of all time – Jay Cutler. He was always my favorite. It was tough to see him retire.

And how about those concussions and other injuries? They’re terrifying, right?

I mean thank goodness I was too lazy to keep playing past freshman year of high school. Yikes, I have enough back and hip problems. Just imagine if I spent three extra years slamming into other fat kids.

In seventh grade I sprained my wrist trying to block one of those other fat kids. I thought he was not very strong, pair that with being overconfident in my own strength. And that’s how I survived my first trip to urgent care.

Went in with tremendous pain, came out with my arm in a sling and still in tremendous pain.

So, here’s to football and hoping scientists can eventually come up with the perfect helmet to avoid players losing brain cells when smashing into each other.

The title for this column was ripped off from the original made for TV movie “Dr. Suess’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas” released in 1966.

Well, that’s all I got for this week.

Let’s blame fluoride “Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.”

— General Jack D. Ripper, “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.”

That quote is delivered in the 1964 movie that parodies the futility of nuclear war. General Ripper, played to the hilt by Sterling Hayden, dispatches a group of B-52 bombers to destroy the Soviet Union. As soldiers and politicians try to stop the attack, Ripper explains that fluoridation was added From the to public water supplies in 1946, coinPublisher’s ciding with the rise of communism.

“A foreign substance is introduced Desk into our precious bodily fluids without Tom Stangl the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core Commie works,” Ripper explains before he is killed.

Of course, the movie is meant to be a dark comedy, but I suspect Gen. Ripper’s sentiments will once again come to the forefront, thanks to a new study published by the Pediatric Journal of the American Medical Association.

The study made news last week when the authors postulated that mothers who drink fluoridated water give birth to children with lower intelligence quotients (IQ) than mothers who drank water that was not fluoridated. Researchers also measured intakes of black tea, which is also high in fluoride.

Researchers from Toronto’s York University compared the fluoride intake of 400 women, some who lived in fluoridated cities and some who did not. They controlled for factors such as household income and the women’s education. A 1 milligram daily increase in fluoride intake was associated with a 3.7-point drop in children’s IQ, they found.

Researchers acquired data and frozen urine samples

previously collected by Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals, or MIREC. That project, run by Canada’s public health department, studied thousands of mothers who gave birth between 2008 and 2012. MIREC researchers measured the toddlers’ IQ after the children turned 3.

The scientists observed that a 1 milligram-per-liter increase in urine fluoride predicted a drop in IQ of 4.5 points in young boys. When the researchers examined the urine of mothers who had daughters, however, fluoride had no association with IQ. Like many scientific studies on what we consume and how it impacts our lives, this study raises more questions than it answers. Officials at the American Dental Association defended fluoridation as a tried and true method to prevent tooth decay. They argue that children with cavities will miss more school because of their bad teeth, which will hinder the development of their IQ. The truth is more than likely somewhere in between the two opinions.

Fluoridated water is not a communist plot. It is an essential public health tool that has been in use for nearly three quarters of a century. If expectant mothers are concerned about this study, there are numerous places to get water. If this study causes more scrutiny to what goes into the public water supply, that’s a good thing.

I sincerely hope that this study and ones like them are not used as an excuse for victimhood. There are many things that determine our intelligence as soon as we leave the womb. Experts tell us that the first five years are crucial in a child’s development. It is important that we do everything we can to help children succeed, including caring for their teeth.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Fewer than 25% of guard transfers went to prisons most in need WISPOLITICS.COM

Of the 48 guards who accepted transfers to take advantage of a pay increase for working in Wisconsin’s most understaffed prisons, fewer than 25% went to the two facilities with the highest vacancy rates.

Columbia Correctional Institution, which has the highest vacancy rate among Department of Corrections institutions, received only four transfers while Waupun Correctional Institution, the prison with the second-highest vacancy rate, got seven.

What’s more, data the DOC provided WisPolitics. com shows nearly 40% of transfers, 19 of the 48, went to the facilities at Green Bay and Taycheedah. Despite being made eligible for the add-on program, those two facilities have lower vacancy rates than at least three other DOC facilities that were not made eligible for the pay boost, according to a May Legislative Audit Bureau report.

DOC Secretary Kevin Carr conceded the pay addon had not produced the results he hoped it would in terms of transfers, telling WisPolitics.com that increasing staffing levels at several institutions “certainly has been a challenge.” He added that the program was “going well” overall and highlighted a sizeable bump in enrollment in training academies.

But for a prison guard on the front lines at a critically understaffed institution, “it feels like they’re abandoning us.”

WisPolitics.com recently reported that in the first three months, only 48 of the 387 Division of Adult Institutions officers and sergeants that originally put in for transfers have followed through with the request to change facilities — just 12.4%.

The low follow-through rate is blamed by some on the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the union that represents a large swath of DOC employees. An AFSCME spokeswoman said the union encouraged its members to file so-called “protest transfer requests” in solidarity with the employees at the 30 other Division of Adult Institutions facilities that were not given raises.

The results didn’t surprise Rep. Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam. The former corrections supervisor told

WisPolitics.com he doesn’t think “money alone” will solve the problem.

“I didn’t expect the add-on to be any sort of a magic wand, and it appears it’s not,” he said.

Most of those who did transfer did not choose the facilities in most desperate need of DOC veterans. In addition to the four transfers to Columbia, only seven prison guards chose to move to Waupun Correctional, the institution with the second-highest vacancy rate.

Prison guards at Waupun and Columbia, both of whom requested anonymity to speak freely about their work conditions, said they were disappointed

by Carr’s comments and the number of new hires the add-on program brought to their institutions.

“They said this was a crisis, yet they get less than a dozen new guys in and call it job done,” said the Waupun guard, where the seven transfers joined four academy graduates.

“It’s clear that this is fading to the back of people’s minds in Madison.”

The guard at Columbia was similarly disheartened when presented his institution’s recruiting haul that saw only four new transfers and three new recruits.

“We raised hell just to get people to notice how bad it is here and don’t really have much to show for it,” he said. “It really sucks.”

Instead, the largest chunk of the transfers to facilities eligible for the pay boost went to Dodge Correctional — 18 of the 48. The institution is known within the DOC community to be highly desirable due to its status as an intake facility.

A former DOC official described the facility as a “revolving door” where new inmates learn about what life in prison is like before being shipped out to another max facility for the duration of their sentence.

The relatively short stays for a majority of the population decreases the likelihood of gangs forming and long-simmering grudges boiling over into violence.

While Dodge’s vacancy rate ranks third highest among DOC institutions — less than a percentage point behind Waupun — guards tend to stay longer.

It has by far the highest median tenure of security personnel of any maximum-security facility.

WILD CHOW

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The top ten after school snacks according to Mom After school snacks are tricky. Too much and you’ve ruined their dinner. Too little and you have anarchy.

Both can drive parents crazy.

My kids would come home after school hungry or hangry—especially when they participated in after school sports.

I remember when I was a kid, my mother was “the only parent” who didn’t let us eat snacks like chips, crackers. I thought she was being mean.

When I had my own family, it made me think about what and how I was feedkids.

Wild Chow ingMymylistown is healthy Lisa Erickson and loaded with good fats and proi hi h will stick, but not tein—things that ruin dinner. All are fast, healthy and mom approved—at least this mom.

10. Peanuts. A fourth of a cup goes a long way.

9. Hummus with carrot chips.

Carrots are crunchy, a perfect substitute for pita chips. Cut the carrots diagonally into thin slices.

Veterans guards are considered to be prized assets when it comes to lowering vacancy rates. Those with experience in the system understand the rigors of the job and can be relied upon when work conditions get tough. Academy graduates, on the other hand, are seen by some DOC personnel as the driving force behind the high turnover rates.

Carr told WisPolitics.com that despite the program’s failure to significantly boost staff at the two most undermanned institutions, he was not considering using further financial incentives to drive recruitment.

“There won’t be any higher rates of pay or anything like that targeted for those two institutions. That’s not in the picture right now,” he said.

Instead, both he and Born focused on the acrossthe-board pay raise for prison guards approved by the Joint Finance Committee and signed into law as part of the budget by Gov. Tony Evers.

Carr said he hoped those raises, coupled with morale-boosting efforts to ensure DOC personnel feel their input is “valued and impactful” on day-to-day operations, could improve staffing levels long-term.

Those long-term goals match with what AFSCME spokeswoman Valerie Landowski said the union hoped to accomplish with the collective action. Landowski told WisPolitics.com that AFSCME was aiming to “restore employees’ voice in the workplace” and “have management invested and care about what the issues are within the workplace.”

But in the short term, neither Carr, Born or Landowski seemed to have the magic bullet to help those guards who feel that they’ve been left behind.

“This is something that built over time,” Born said.

“The bottom line is that we need to be more competitive with other professions and jobs in the areas of these prisons.”

8. Apple slices dipped in almond butter.

7. Sliced cheddar cheese. Need I say more? Cheese is amazing.

6. Cottage cheese with a slice of toast. Try it. It’s super.

5. Bananas with yogurt. Try with unsweetened yogurt. The banana is sweet enough, but if you need some extra sweetness, drizzle with honey.

4. Half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Unsweetened peanut butter is perfect when paired with a little jelly on whole grain bread.

3. A glass of whole milk. Milk is full of protein and good fats. Plus, it goes down fast, and the hunger pains are gone instantly.

2. Leftovers. My fridge is always full of left overs. I used to tell my kids anything is fair game, but I’d help with portion control or they would be too full for dinner.

1.My personal favorite—baked potato. Pop it in the microwave, then top with some butter and salt. This is a great snack for kids in sports because it helps replenish electrolytes and lost salt.

Happy back to school, moms and dads!

CAFO costs borne by neighbors Dear Editor, How does a CAFO make economic sense? The efficiency of the operation is undeniable. With an extensive capital investment in plant and equipment, operating costs are low and minimal investment is needed in land, in this case less than 40 acres to produce tens of thousands of animals.

If that were the end of the story, we wouldn’t be here. But the only way CAFOs truly are economically viable is because significant costs are borne by others. In other words, the small number of CAFO owners profit, while a large number of people bear the cost.

The first and most visibly dramatic cost is the immediate drop in property values experienced at the mere proposal that a CAFO be built. This is not conjecture but is borne out in numerous property value studies done after other CAFOs were built. Even if everything were true that CAFO supporters say about the lack of smell and water pollution generated by state of the art modern CAFOs, a highly dubious claim, there is a stigma, generations old, and rightly so, surrounding CAFOs that is unlikely to change anytime soon.

This stigma hurts property values.

And let’s face it, accidents happen. Ask yourself, would you like a CAFO to move in next door to your home? Did

the seller of the property to the CAFO owners sell land adjacent to his home?

If the owners of a CAFO were required to reimburse neighbors within several miles’ proximity for their hit to property values, would it still make economic sense to build a CAFO? There are other potential hidden costs including depletion of the aquifer necessitating new wells, wear and tear on nearby roads, water pollution making well water undrinkable, the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria and smell.

And aside from minimal fines imposed by government agencies for infractions, who bears the cost? The neighbors.

These problems might not occur here, but they have occurred in many other CAFOs. If the CAFO were required to remediate any damage they do, they would likely have to seriously rethink the economic viability of their business model.

Some farmers claim CAFOs are the future of animal farming, and opposition to CAFOs is opposition to farming itself.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

But a business model that enriches its owners at the expense of its neighbors damages the positive image of farming and deserves vigorous opposition.

Grantsburg expands apprenticeship program JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Grantsburg High School is looking for area businesses for their expanding Youth Apprenticeship program. The program, which is run through CESA, is open to juniors and senior students.

CESA, Cooperative Educational Service Agency, is a statewide organization and they sent representatives to Grantsburg High School last week to explain their program to local businesses. The Youth Apprenticeship Program is run through the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.

The program has existed for over 25 years and over 3,100 employers and 4,300 youth apprentices across Wisconsin participated in the program during the 2017/18 school year.

At the meeting were local businesses including the Burnett Dairy and Nexen. Last year the school had two apprentices, one with Parker-Hannefin and the other worked with DR Tech.

Suzy Retzer, Grantsburg High School transition coordinator said the students did really well and is ready to expand.

“Last year we were just dipping our toes in the water and now we’re ready to open it up and get a lot more local businesses involved,” Retzer said. “You see all kinds of stuff that tells kids they need to go out and get a four-year degree to be successful. That’s just not true for everyone and this program can teach students what they want to do as a career path as well as what they do not want to choose as a career.”

CESA has twelve approved career program areas including agriculture, finance, manufacturing and the newly added broadband. Randy Schullo and Dani Schott were at Grantsburg High School to explain the program.

“This is a highly successful talent acquisitions strategy in which employers hire high school juniors and seniors for a one or two-year apprenticeship,” Schott said. She continued to explain the student will learn skills necessary for that job as well as other skills not readily available in the classroom.

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Dani Schott of CESA, Cooperative Educational Service Agency, spoke to local businesses last week about the potential of hiring high school juniors and seniors for the expanding Youth Apprenticeship program.

“There was one student who did not want to continue their apprenticeship with their current employer.

So instead of me, the teacher, tell the employer they were quitting – we have the student do that, so they are better prepared for that situation in real life,” Schott said.

Schott continued to outline the basics of the program. Some of those details included the student has one year, June to June, to work 450 hours at the company and will have regularly scheduled progress reports.

Eric Lockwood from WITC was also at the presentation to talk about the registered apprenticeship through the Wisconsin Technical College System.

That program has five different career paths including carpentry, plumbing and cosmetology. It is more designed for college students; however, some fields can be started at age 17.

“One of the goals for this is to build small communities back up,” Schott said. “If we can keep kids in these small towns we can build up these communities and keep them growing.”

In the back of the middle school, a second parent pick-up lane has been added. Watt stated, “There is a guiding lane that will help parents get into the swing around turn, but it will still have to be supervised.” There will still be a staff member outside during dropoff and pick-up to help guide parents and direct traffic.

Also at the middle school, the iForward office was expanded into two new spaces.

Constance Quade, the iForward principal, says that she is very grateful that Lisa Danielson, the middle school principal, gave them a classroom to expand their growing office into.

West sent to state Tourism Coalition holds fall Poker Paddle Run prison for sexual assault HARRIET RICE

JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Stephan P. West was given a 14 year sentence after pleading guilty to two felony counts of sexual assault.

West pleaded guilty to both counts of third-degree sexual assault, a class G Felony, in March. The charges were stemming from an incident in 2012 when West was babysitting two juvenile girls who were five and seven years old at the time.

Online court records show, Judge Melissia Mogen sentenced West to two years in state prison for both counts to run consecutively and then five years of extended supervision on both counts.

According to the criminal complaint, in August 2017, Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing met with West at the Luck Police Department. West was West asked if he remembered babysitting in Grantsburg in 2012.

West was 16 at the time and the two juvenile girls he was babysitting were seven and five.

Two months earlier in June the Grantsburg PD received an interview report that indicated an alleged sexual assault took place with the two girls when they were living in Grantsburg.

A forensic interviewer with Child First Center Forensic said that that the younger of the two girls said they were forced by West to put lotion on him and suck his privates.

She said this happened three or four times. The girls told their mother about the numerous incidents that took place between 2011 and 2012.

Both girls said West “put his ‘boy part’ in their ‘girl part.’�

West began serving his sentence on August 15.

Picture this: it's a cool September morning, you're in your canoe (or kayak) cruising a rippling river heading for a mirror-smooth lake. The loons are calling; the fish are jumping. That's the setting for the 1st Annual Poker Paddle on the Yellows, Saturday, Sept. 14, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., sponsored by the Burnett County Tourism Coalition (BCTC).

"We wanted a fundraiser that would get people out doing a fun family-friendly physical activity," says Kim Wheeler, BCTC vice president and event organizer.

"What better way to highlight and enjoy the "spirited waters" of our county -- like it says on our logo."

The 9.5-mile poker run will take paddlers from the Yellow River launch area off St. Rd. 35 north of Webster (at Yellow River Saloon) west to Big Yellow Lake, across Big Yellow and Little Yellow Lake, back onto the Yellow River north to Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park.

At each of five landings along the route, paddlers will draw a random playing card to collect the highest scoring 5-card poker hand. There will be cash prizes for the top three winning hands.

‘Burdened this year by sewer issues’ JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

CONTRIBUTED

Burnett Medical Center would like to thank each and every employee for demonstrating their continuous commitment to our residents, patients, and community every day.

BMC’s years of service awards banquet Burnett Medical Center honored 19 employees at the Burnett Medical Center Years of Service Awards Banquet Thursday, August 22 at the Crex Convention Center in Grantsburg.

Each year, employees who have served Burnett Medical Center for multiples of 5 years are recognized at the event. According to Sandy Hinrichs, Human Resources Director at Burnett Medical Center, who helps organize the event, “This is a

special evening in which employees and their managers celebrate their service to Burnett Medical Center.

It begins with a social hour, followed by a delicious dinner, and ends with a program in which managers have an opportunity to highlight each employee and all they contribute to Burnett Medical Center.�

Gordy Lewis, BMC CEO, also stated, “Our greatest asset is our people, and the Years of Service Awards Banquet is an opportunity for us to

honor their dedication to BMC and the people they serve each day.�

This year there were 280 years of service represented by 19 employees.

Burnett Medical Center would like to thank each and every employee for demonstrating their continuous commitment to our residents, patients, and community every day.

You are all valuable members of Team BMC!

The maintenance department over the last several months has been dealing with issues with the sewer system in the jail.

There has been a string of incidents involving the inmates flushing various items into the system. “We’ve been burdened this year by sewer issues.�

Faught continued to outline his ongoing issues with sewer lines this year, with most of them originating in the jail. Inmates have allegedly been intentionally clogging the drains throughout the year. The debris that has been flushed includes an abundance of toilet paper, garbage and even bed sheets.

Faught explained to the Infrastructure committee they have a new system that sends alerts to him and then he knows exactly where there is a blockage in the lines.

Then his crew can locate the problem and fix it before it becomes a larger issue.

Earlier this year the jail put a hook system in place that catches debris. The hooks work similar to fishing hooks and grabs the larger items the sewer system usually does not catch. “It has been really helpful with catching whatever it is they’re flushing down into the system,� Faught said.

The maintenance department did not report any major expenses in their 2020 budget besides a new main water pump for the government center. The new main water pump will cost $11,500. “We haven’t any issues with it, but it’s a precautionary move,� Faught explained. “Others like it in the area have been failing and it’s 15 years old. I asked around and found out it takes about a month for a new pump to get delivered.�

MADISON–– Based on test results from the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, IA, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) confirms that an elk from a breeding farm in Burnett County has tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD). The 6-year old male was euthanized due to an injury and showed no symptoms of the disease. As a result of the positive finding, DATCP has quarantined the farm and the remaining 5 elk in the herd. A quarantine means no animals may move in or out of the property and restricts movement of carcasses. No elk have left

the farm since the herd was formed in 2014.

The owner will continue to test all elk that die to monitor if the disease has spread to other animals in the herd.

DATCP’s Division of Animal Health will investigate the animal’s health history and the premises to determine if any other herds may have been exposed to the CWD-positive elk.

CWD is a fatal, neurological disease of deer, elk, and moose caused by an infectious protein called a prion that affects the animal's brain. Testing for CWD can only be performed after the animal's death. More information about CWD is available at https://datcp.wi.gov/

To learn more about deer farm regulations in Wisconsin, visit DATCP’s farm-raised deer program at https://datcp.wi.gov/ Pages/Programs_Services/ FarmRaisedDeer.aspx. The Department of Natural Resources monitors the state's wild whitetail deer for CWD and has resources available at https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/ wildlifehabitat/regulations. html.

this summer?

Summer is upon us and our beautiful Dr. Tim Novick lakes and beaches are definitely the place to be to stay cool. While swimming is a fun activity for the whole family, it can be dangerous if safety measures are not taken. It’s important to stay close and alert while watching children in and around the water.

Avoid drinking alcohol when supervising children and when you are swimming to keep everyone safe. Know the basics of swimming, CPR, and the basics of life-saving so you can assist if an emergency arises.

Other safety tips include having lifejackets available for all children and adults in and around water and having the appropriate equipment for your pool or spa such as a fence and locked gates.

HEATING/COOLING ADVICE

Father’s Day is almost upon us. If you’re a dad, you certainly may enjoy getting cards and gifts. But, over time, you will gain even greater satisfaction Josh Prusinski, CFP® from what you can give your children – such as some Financial Advisor valuable financial lessons.

Here are a few to consider: First, you could discuss the importance of setting goals and investing for them, even though these goals, such as retirement, may be decades away. You can even make it more meaningful to your children by saying another goal is saving enough to help send them to college.

Also, talk about the importance of putting time on your side. Let your children know that it’s of great value to start investing as early as possible.

You might also discuss some financial management issues, such as the necessity of living within your means and the need to pay your debts on time.

By sharing these lessons with your children, you will give them something to think about – and you may even start them on the path to a lifetime of solid financial moves.

All systems ms that our company install not only r Peter Ward have a constantt power supply from your house power, they all includee a “backup battery” as well. Th This battery ensures that even during a power er outage your system will continue to operate as normal and will continue nue to communicate with central station should a breach of security occur. cur. These backup batteries will keep your system running typically for 24-36 4-36 hours with no interruptions. Once power is restored to your home, the backup batteries will recharge themselves and be ready for any future power outages that might occur. It is important to note that during a powerr outage you will receive a message from central station of “AC power failure” which is to let you know that power is out at your residence.

These backup batteries typically have a life of 3-5 years depending on how often power failures ailures occur. It is important to have your system inspected and for those batteries atteries to be tested. In the next “ask the expert” I will address how often yourr security system should be inspected.

As far as your home goes, most all Gary Nelson insurance policies cover storm damage but remember that a deductible goes along with that. You will pay the deductible and the company will then pay the balance of the damage. Some companies, however, may have a higher storm deductible so you will want to check your policy. As far as your vehicles go, comprehensive coverage (or what may be listed as “other than collision”) covers storm damage. If you have this coverage and a tree falls on your car or you get hail damage, you are covered but, again, minus the deductible. It’s a good time to look at your policies so you know how they work.

First, ask if your goals are still realistic. For example, are you still on track toward retiring at the age you’ve identified? If not, you may need to adjust your

investment strategy.

PER ER MONTH

Also, if you find yourself feeling nervous or uncomfortable over your investment results, you might want to ask if your investment mix is still appropriate for your individual risk tolerance.

One more possible question: Ask if changes in your life – such as marriage, remarriage or new children – will affect the way you invest or the goals you’ve set.

Finally, ask if you should respond to external changes, such as higher interest rates or new tax laws.

A financial professional can provide you with valuable expertise – so take advantage of it by asking the right questions.

Music education grants available for area schools HUDSON–– The St. Croix Valley Foundation (SCVF) is accepting applications for its Music Education Competitive Grant Program. Music Education grants support programs that enhance the quality of K-12 music programs for schools located in the St. Croix Valley.

ELIGIBILITY Public and private schools located in Washington and Chisago counties in Minnesota and Burnett, Pierce, Polk and St. Croix Counties in Wisconsin are eligible to apply. Grants range from $500 to $5,000 and are evaluated on innovation, need, impact, goals, and budget. This year, the SCVF plans to award $34,000 to music education programs throughout the Valley.

The application form is available at: www. scvfoundation.org. Proposals may be submitted now through October 4, 2019 and awards will be announced in December.

BACKGROUND The Music Education Valley Impact Fund of the St. Croix Valley Foundation was established by Nyda Swanson in 2002. The widow of Earl Swanson, former CEO of Andersen Corporation, wanted to forever support the cause closest to her heart – music. The St. Croix Valley Foundation helped Nyda establish an endowed fund that provides annual grants for music education. Through SCVF’s competitive grant process, the Music Education Valley Impact Fund grants to schools with the most effective programming placing grant dollars in the most capable hands at the right time, in perpetuity.

Kris Tjornehoj, chair of SCVF’s Music Education grant panel, remarked: “Since 2003, the St. Croix Valley Foundation has offered a competitive grant program supporting Music Education. During that period 198 grants have been awarded totaling $480,000. Grants have provided for instruments, sheet music, new compositions, clinicians, technology, and joint school concerts. Some requests are innovative, others are to replace aging instruments that can no longer be repaired. We want music teachers to request money for things that will strengthen or improve their programs. Receiving a SCVF Music Education Grant recognizes the commitment of that teacher and school to improve their program. We have been told that these grants help inspire both teachers and students to achieve more.”

ABOUT SCVF The St. Croix Valley Foundation is a regional philanthropic organization established in 1995. It serves the region through ten local affiliated foundations in Prescott, River Falls, Hudson, Somerset, New Richmond, Amery, and the Northwest Alliance in Wisconsin; and in Stillwater, the Chisago Lakes Area and the Lower St. Croix Valley area in Minnesota. The SCVF and Affiliates help donors improve communities by matching philanthropic interests with area need placing funding in the most capable hands at the right time, in perpetuity.

Family meals: small investment big payoff MAUREEN WILSON, FOODSHARE SPECIALIST

Gathering around the table to eat as a family has all kinds of benefits. Family meals allow parents to be role models who create a supportive environment that promotes healthy eating. Family meals don’t just mean better nutrition. Children of families who regularly eat together also are more likely to have higher intakes of fruits and vegetables, have a healthy weight, and are less likely to have behavior problems or use drugs and alcohol when they get older.

Try these easy-to-follow tips to make family meals happen more often in your home: • Keep it simple: Use go-to recipes to help you get in and out of the kitchen in under 30 minutes.

• Choose ingredients that multitask: Instead of making just three chicken breasts, consider making six so you can use the extras in other dishes.

• Say “no” to takeout: A quick trip to the drive-thru lacks the nutrition your family needs. A simple meal made at home is more likely to contain the nutrients your family needs without all the extra sodium and fat.

• It’s OK to ask for help: Little kids can practice counting by getting the correct number of forks and napkins for the table. Teens love the independence to shop for groceries.

• Make it fun: Prepare fresh Asian cuisine and eat with chopsticks. Throw a blanket on the floor and enjoy a family picnic. Keep everyone involved by asking each person to share something that happened that day or week.

Start your new family meal tradition today by making a commitment to eating at least one meal together each week. Before you know it, family dinner will be a time that everyone looks forward to.

Salmon in the Dark AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, Of all the annual adventures that I go on, paddle trolling with my canoe for salmon on Lake Michigan is the most thrilling, physical and scary. I have done this from Port Washington to Algoma. Generally, much of it takes place after dark and about all I can say is that the rush of fighting a salmon from a canoe is a challenge that I have yet to physically see another person try to do.

The waves, the fish, darkness, exhaustion, and fear are all part of an experience that generally sends me home with an empty cooler.

Tuesday, August 20 High 79, low 49 My port for this trip would be Port Washington. My plan would be to paddle on Tuesday, late afternoon until well after dark. I would paddle to shore, throw a sleeping bag on the beach and sleep until 4 a.m. with a plan of paddling by 4:30.

I have to admit that this year I have been scared of this trip. A couple of weeks ago I was on Green Bay in my 18-foot War Eagle and I came really close to sinking it in a storm.

When you are fishing salmon, you have to go to deep water which means that to have a chance of catching my quarry, I would have to paddle one to three miles from shore. I run planer boards and on one pole I would use a spoon and the other a flasher/fly combination.

Setting my two lines is a challenge in itself. I use the wind and put about 60-feet of line behind one board and 80 with the other. I then let out about 100-feet of line to get the boards away from my canoe.

If I get a salmon on it is shear insanity as I have to use my knees

to control the canoe in the waves, kind of like dancing. I also have to try and reel in my other line so that my fish does not get into it. If I am fortunate enough to get a salmon to the canoe, I have to access the situation and make the choice of gaffing it or using a net. Once the 500-pound gorilla is in the canoe, more insanity takes place.

Today I would have a tough situation as did most fishermen in motor powered boats. Due to very strong east winds last week the water had warmed up near shore and everyone was having to go deep to find salmon.

I spent an hour rigging my 17foot aluminum canoe and speaking with fishermen trailering their boats. Most had caught one to three fish and figured what I was doing was nuts and I pumped all of them for info. Particularly depth that they were catching fish at and what they were using.

I started paddling at 3:30 this afternoon and I was really excited as the waves were only about a foot, and a lot of the guys told me that towards dark I might get lucky. To do something like this you have to really enjoy paddling a canoe, which I do and you have to be in shape because as soon as you quit paddling you are either not going fast enough to make your lures work or you are going backwards.

In reality, I paddled about two miles from shore to about 130 feet of water and I figured I was in the right area because I had charter boats for neighbors.

About dark I had not had a hit, but I did not care as I was going to paddle until about 11 and if I did not hook up tonight I would in the morning. At 9:30 every boat, at least that was using lights, was off the Big Pond but me.

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

About 10 by the light of a Coleman lantern I pulled a can of beer out of my cooler and took a flask that contains some of my brother Bob’s ashes. Before Bobby died, he gave all of his siblings the job of spreading his ashes in cool places and so a bit of the late Bobby Walters is now in Lake Michigan.

About 11 with only five hours before I planned on getting up I hit a remote section of beach which was pretty interesting as it was dark and there were waves. I unrolled my sleeping bag and tried sleeping and that did not work out so well as my legs had caught a chill from being wet for nine hours.

Wednesday, August 21 High 81, low 55 I was up at four and paddling shortly after. I have not used an alarm clock in over a decade, I just program my brain to wake up. Paddling a canoe in the dark in the waves is crazy and there were waves, especially at sunrise.

Balance and pulling on the kayak paddle at just the right time when a wave hits is everything.

I sit on a large cooler that is hard on the behind, especially after a few hours but the cooler is needed, and it does make a good chair.

This morning I put six hours into the paddle and did not get a hit. The best I ever did was when I paddled from Port Washington to Point Beach State Forest in one day. That is a long journey, but I had a strong tailwind and I used an umbrella as a sail to add speed. caught three kings in one day and slept on the beach that night.

The next day I used a sign that said kayaker needs ride back to truck and got a ride right away.

Love the canoe! Sunset.

It is a great time to think about adding a black cat to your home; okay, there is not a bad time!

Although sometimes they’re challenging to find in low-light conditions, these miniature panthers are just as cuddly, elegant and ssilly as cats of other colo ors. It is baffling why they a are often left at shelters m much longer than their c colored buddies.

This week, HSBC h highlights two black cats w who have a lot of similariities. Both are one year o old, weigh around seven p pounds, have yellow eyes a and sport glossy, short Blue hair. They are both gentle, playful, curious and enjoy the company of other cats and kids.

But they aren’t identical. Blue is more of a bluebased black with the slightest hint of green to his eyes and is all about the attention. Cy’s coat is brown-based—he appears dark chocolate in bright light. His eyes have more of a golden cast, and he is all about fun; Cy will play with anything or anyone!

Other black cats hanging out at HSBC are former Wag stars Chickie and Jack. Jack was recently sponsored thanks to a couple of generous young ladies, meaning his adoption fee is covered. Thanks, Olive and McKenna!

Fall is right around the corner, and with it is Cy HSBC’s annual fall Racine Kringle sale. The HSBC office and volunteers will be taking orders beginning Wednesday, Sept. 4 until Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Siren kicks off season with monster game against Clayton SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

SIREN – Cordell Fischer had a memorable quarter and game on Friday.

The running back scored four of his five touchdowns in the second quarter for the Siren 8-player football team in its 56-8 season-opening win over Clayton.

“A four-touchdown quarter may have happened once in my 6-plus years (as coach),” Siren coach Ryan Karsten said. “It is quite an accomplishment for any team or player.”

Fischer finished with 231 yards on 25 carries in the game; 18 of those yards came on a first-quarter touchdown that gave the Dragons an early lead.

He scored early in the quarter and Siren’s lead was extended to 14-0 with

a touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Webster to Trevor Stanford. A 2-point conversion pass from Webster to Zayden Anderson put the Dragons up 14-0 at the end of the first.

They continued to take advantage of their matchup at the line in the second quarter, leading to five more scores before halftime. Fischer scored on a 3-yard run and a 54-yard run before Stanford notched a 6-yard touchdown run that gave Siren a 38-0 lead with more than five minutes remaining in the half.

Fischer closed the half by capping scoring drives with 4-yard and 3-yard touchdown runs, lifting the Dragons to the half-century mark.

Grantsburg begins season with a win SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG – The point total was a change but the result was familiar.

The Grantsburg football team had to find new methods to win games in 2019 after losing its primary offensive weapons from last year’s squad and it found one on Friday. While the Pirates scored at least 25 points in each of their 13 games last season, including five wins with at least 50 points, they began this season with a win in a low-scoring matchup.

The Pirates held Amery to just one score and notched the eventual game-winning points in the first quarter of a 17-7 win over the Warriors to start the season 1-0.

Sterling McKinley passed for 187 yards and two touchdowns, along with rushing for 45 yards to put the new-look Pirates in the win column.

Grantsburg reached the end zone just twice in the game, though both were indicative of the adjusted offensive game plan. McKinley connected with tight end Reed Arnold on five passes, including both of the Pirates’ scores.

“McKinley just did a good job of finding Reed,” Grantsburg coach Adam Hale said. “Our tight end

has a major role in a lot of the pass routes we ran on Friday.”

The first of those scoring connections came in the first quarter, where the Pirates outscored Amery 10-0. Arnold caught a 16yard touchdown pass from McKinley, followed by an extra point from Jared VanWatermuelen, to give Grantsburg a 7-0 lead.

VanWatermuelen then capped another first-quarter scoring drive with a 25-yard field goal, putting

the Pirates up 10-0. The Warriors were in position to shrink that early lead but Grantsburg provided one of its several key defensive plays to keep Amery scoreless in the first quarter.

The Warriors had a potential scoring drive that advanced inside the Pirates’ 20-yard line, but Dane Jensen intercepted a pass that ended the threat and allowed SEE GRANTSBURG, PAGE 18

GRANTSBURG: Pirates win their season opener CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

STACY COY

Grantsburg’s Sterling McKinley tries to outrun the grasp on Amery’s Matt Knutson in the season opening win over the Warriors Friday night.

Grantsburg to take a 10-point lead into the second quarter.

While Amery broke the Pirates’ shutout bid in the second quarter, the Warriors could have entered halftime with a lead if not for another key defensive play. Amery pulled to within a field goal when Kale Hopke connected with Bryn Gouker on an 11-yard touchdown pass, followed by an extra point from Cody Scribner.

But another potential scoring drive was stopped shy of the end zone with an interception by Isaac Quimby, who returned the pick 34 yards. Though the Pirates didn’t convert the turnover into points,

they still entered the half with a 10-7 lead and blanked Amery for the remainder of the game.

Grantsburg followed a scoreless third quarter with McKinley’s second touchdown pass to Arnold, this time for eight yards. Another VanWatermuelen extra point gave Grantsburg a 17-7 lead and the kicker came through with the team’s final key defensive play.

Amery had a chance to reduce the deficit to one score, driving inside the Grantsburg 20-yard line.

The Pirates’ defense held on the Warriors’ first three attempts in the red zone and on fourth down, VanWatermuelen made Grantsburg’s third interception of the game to end the threat and secure

the win.

Arnold finished with 78 yards receiving on five catches and led the defense with 16 tackles. Quimby led the team with 56 yards rushing and added 20 yards receiving on four catches; McKinley added eight tackles and Zach Miller had seven.

The Pirates remain home this Friday to host Abbotsford, which earned a shutout win (21-0) over Marathon on Friday.

“It was great to survive in getting a win for the season opener but also makes us aware of all we need to improve on quickly,” Hale said. “Abbotsford has a good team and we'll have to play much better on both sides to have a chance to win.”

SIREN FOOTBALL: ‘Our defense flew around this week and made plays’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

“We were bigger on the offensive line and defensive line,” Karsten said. “We tried to use our size to our advantage (and) having eight seniors versus their two was a huge advantage for us and will continue to be, this season.”

Clayton couldn’t threaten Siren’s lead but it did manage to avoid a shutout in the season opener. The Bears got on the board in the third quarter with an 18-yard touchdown run followed by a 2-point conversion, making it a 50-8 game. But that was their lone score of the game while the Dragons still had points to score.

In the fourth quarter, Nick Webster capped the scoring with a 48-yard touchdown run to give Siren a 48-point lead to end the game. Along with the dominance in the run game, the Dragons also managed key defensive plays that helped stifle the Bears’ offense.

“We recovered (and) forced (two) fum-

bles,” Karsten said. “Our defense flew around this week and made plays. I was really happy with the ways they played and hope it continues in the upcoming games.”

Fischer added a pair of 2-point conversions in the game; Brady Kosloski added another on a pass reception from Webster. Jimmy Krentze had six tackles on defense for Siren; Taedon Nichols, Gage Holmes and Wyatt D’Jock had five each.

“We answered some questions but also asked a few more,” Karsten said. “We proved we could run the ball on a young, inexperienced team.

“Questions we asked ourselves this week - Can we duplicate this performance in the upcoming weeks? Can my young kids play better in the weeks to come? Will my senior stay hungry as the weeks go on? Can we run the ball as well once team prepare to stop us?”

The Dragons may some answers for those questions this Friday, when they play at Prairie Farm.

How to dispose of unused medication safely GREATER WISCONSIN AGENCY ON AGING RESOURCES (GWAAR) LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

What do you do when you no longer need medication, or it expires before it’s used up? Improper disposal of medication, or not disposing of it at all, can be harmful for your loved ones and for the environment. Read on to find out why, how, and where to dispose of unused medication properly.

Medication, including medication for your pet, may come in the form of pills, creams, liquids, or aerosols. These include over-the-counter and prescription medications. Some medications may be controlled substances, which means that possession and use of these medications is highly regulated by the government. Therefore, it is important to dispose of unused medication safely.

Whatever you do, do not flush drugs down the toilet.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has provided the following recommendations for handling unused medication: First, reduce the amount of medication that is wasted. · Use all antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. · Buy only as much as you will be able to use before it expires. · If your doctor prescribes a new medication, ask the doctor to prescribe only enough to see if the medication will work for you. If the medication does not work for you, less will be wasted.

Second, reuse or donate medication if possible.

· Wisconsin allows certain pharmacies to take back unit doses of medication for cancer and chronic diseases.

This medication will be redistributed through the Wisconsin Drug Repository. For more information about the Wisconsin Drug Repository, please see: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/guide/ cancer-drugrepo.htm. · Most charities will not accept unexpired medication from households. If you see an opportunity to donate medication, be very cautious and research the program well.

Finally, dispose of any remaining medication properly. · If you have narcotics or other controlled substances, contact your local police department to find out if they will accept them. Some police departments accept non-controlled substances, too. · Take your unused medication to a drug collection program or event.

Unused medications cannot be collected at household hazardous waste facilities.

You can find a local collection program or event here: https://doseofrealitywi. gov/drug-takeback/. If a drug collection program does not exist in your area, talk to your local police department, healthcare provider, and your local government about starting one. · If you plan to store unused medication for a drug collection event, you can minimize the risk of accidental poisoning, overdose, or illegal use by storing medication out of reach of children or in a locked cabinet. · If you have no other options, do not

flush and do not burn your unused medication. Instead, put them in the trash.

When there is a risk of accidental poisoning, overdose, or illegal use, it is better to throw out unused medications than to keep them in your home.

When you throw out unused mediation, you should remove all labels that identify the medication or provide personal information about you, including prescription information that someone could try to refill. In addition, you should consider dissolving the medication in a small amount of water, grinding up pills, or mixing the medication with coffee grounds or kitty litter.

You can also put the medication into another container to better hide it in your trash.

Cannabis confusion: a patchwork of laws GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES

Cannabis (also known as “Marijuana” and about 1,000 other slang terms), it seems, has been in the news almost daily, especially in the past several years as activists push to reform laws across the country. These reforms, however, have created a patchwork of confusing laws that vary by state, county, and even city. As of the date of this article, federally, most forms of cannabis are still illegal.

Although the FDA has recently approved some cannabis-derived medications.

ABOUT CANNABIS—THE BASICS There are two main species of the cannabis plant: cannabis sativa and cannabis indica. Both species of the cannabis plant produce a group of chemicals called cannabinoids, which act on the body’s cannabinoid receptors to produce mental and physical effects when consumed. The two main cannabinoids that have effects on humans are CBD and THC. CBD VS. THC CBD or cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive compound and does not produce intoxicating effects.

CBD is rumored to help a variety of medical conditions. However, these claims have not been evaluated or approved by the FDA with the exception of one FDA-approved drug for the treatment of seizures

associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy.

THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It is what produces the intoxicating effect or “high” when consuming cannabis. This “high” feeling is subjective and varies among persons and the method of use. One FDA-approved drug, Dronabinol, that is a synthetic version of THC, has been approved for the treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy.

MARIJUANA VS. HEMP “Marijuana” is a term used to classify varieties of Cannabis that contain more than 0.3% THC. It may or may not also contain CBD depending on the strain. (Cannabis strains are either pure or hybrid varieties of the Cannabis plant).

“Hemp” is a term used to classify varieties of Cannabis that contain 0.3% or less THC content. Most hemp does contain CBD, usually at high levels. Hemp also has many other commercial and industrial uses including paper, textiles, rope, plastic alternative, food, personal care, etc.

CANNABIS LAWS Federal Laws The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and hemp-derived products on the federal level. This made CBD products legal on the federal level, but only if they are extracted

from hemp plants, not marijuana, even though the CBD extracted from either type of plant is identical. Marijuana and products containing THC are still illegal on the federal level.

State Laws, including Wisconsin Cannabis with THC (marijuana) is legal for adult recreational use in 10 states (Illinois will be the 11th starting 1/1/2020) and the District of Columbia. In these states, just like alcohol, you must be old enough to purchase (usually 21) and you do not need a doctor’s prescription or medical condition to consume cannabis. Wisconsin is not one of these states.

Cannabis with THC is legal for medical use only in 23 states.

These laws vary state by state, but generally this means you need a doctor’s prescription to purchase, possess, and consume cannabis with THC. Non-psychoactive CBD oil containing little or no THC is legal in 14 states, including Wisconsin.

Again, these laws vary, but in most states and in Wisconsin, CBD oil is available over-the-counter.

As always, consult your doctor before deciding to take any supplements including CBD oil.

New Social Security administration commissioner GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES

Last year, President Trump nominated Andrew M. Saul to head the Social Security Administration (SSA). After confirmation by the Senate June 17, he was sworn in as the Commissioner of the SSA at the agency’s office in Washington, D.C. He will serve a six-year term that expires Jan. 19, 2025.

For the past five years, the SSA has run without a full, Senate-confirmed commissioner. Saul replaces acting Commissioner Nancy Berryhill, who was nominated by President Trump in Jan. 2017. Acting Commissioner Berryhill replaced President Obama’s nominee Carolyn Colvin, who was also serving as acting Commissioner. In 2014, President Obama nominated her to serve as the Commissioner, but her nomination was never brought up for a vote before the full Senate.

Commissioner Saul has experience in the public and private sectors. He previously was the Chairman for the Federal Thrift

Investment Board, which administers a retirement plan for federal employees. He began his career in the retail apparel business, and he served as Vice-Chairman of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

According to the SSA’s press release, “Commissioner Saul will be responsible for administering the Social Security retirement, disability and survivor’s insurance programs that pay over one trillion dollars annually in benefits to approximately 64 million beneficiaries, as well as the Supplemental Security Income program that provides cash assistance to more than 8 million people with limited income and resources. The agency has a national workforce of about 63,000 employees and 1,500 facilities across the country and around the world.”

Social Security error and medicare premiums GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES

The Department of Health & Human Services (DHS) announced that a “processing error” occurred in January that resulted in Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Plan premiums not being deducted from beneficiaries’ checks. This meant that nearly 250,000 seniors nationwide learned that their drug coverage premiums had not been paid – even if they had chosen to have the premiums withheld from their Social Security checks.

Many people are discovering that they now owe up to five months of premiums and must find the money to pay their drug plans. Some are receiving cancellation notices from the plans for failure to pay premiums.

Even though monthly Social Security checks for those affected were higher because the premiums were not being

deducted, many people did not notice. Usually, Social Security payments increase each year according to the cost of living adjustment (COLA), so it is not unusual for a beneficiary to start receiving a higher payment at the beginning of the year.

Medicare announced that plans must allow members a grace period to repay the premium payments that were missed.

This period must last at least as long as the delay in billing. Plans must also offer a payment plan for those who can’t pay several months of premiums at once.

For anyone with questions about payment of premiums, disenrollment from a drug plan, or other issues related to this error, please contact your Medicare Part D or Advantage Plan directly or make an appointment to meet with your Elder Benefits Specialist.

Bladder and bowel health for women

Food insecurity in the United States

Did you know: • 1 in 4 women have issues with bladder or bowel control before menopause?

• 1 in 2 women experience incontinence after menopause?

While these issues are very common, they don’t have to be.

There are things we can do to prevent or improve symptoms – without medication or surgery. By doing low-impact exercises and making small changes to how we eat and drink, we can improve bladder and bowel health and prevent leakage.

“Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder” is an educational program designed to give women the tools they need to prevent or control bladder and bowel symptoms. Scientific

GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES

Feeding America has released its annual report detailing senior hunger in America.

The State of Senior Hunger in America series documents food insecurity among seniors age 60 and older. It documents that 5.5 million seniors struggle to access enough food. This is about 1 in 12 seniors.

Wisconsin’s rate of seniors who experience food insecurity is 4.8%. This percentage is below the national average but higher than Minnesota’s 2.8% rate.

Economic conditions continue to cause millions of seniors to be food insecure. Being food insecure means not having enough nutritious food to live a healthy lifestyle.

The high number of food insecure seniors continues to exist despite an improving economy. The stubbornly high number of food insecure seniors imposes a major health care challenge. Food insecurity has negative effects for individuals of every age.

For seniors, these effects can be particularly difficult because of the health, economic, and nutritional challenges of aging.

The study highlighted the following: • Nationally, 7.7% of seniors are food insecure.

• Seniors are more likely to experience food insecurity if they are a racial/ ethnic minority; divorced, separated or never married; living with grandchildren; disabled; or female. These findings are consistent with prior reports.

• Food insecure seniors are more likely to experience chronic health conditions.

For instance, food insecure seniors are 78% more likely to be depressed or 55% more likely to experience asthma when compared to most seniors.

• The number of food insecure seniors increased by 45% when compared to 2001.

Federal nutrition assistance programs

studies showed that attending this program in-person reduced or even cured symptoms for many Wisconsin women.

Since not everyone has access to the in-person Mind Over Matter program, researchers at the University of Wisconsin – Madison created a website version of “Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder.” This educational program for women is free of charge and you can access it whenever and wherever you want to, using a computer, tablet, or mobile phone.

Visit www.healthyboweland bladder.org to learn more. Even if you don’t have leakage symptoms now, it’s never too early to start thinking about your bladder and bowel health! gwaar.org

are the first line of defense against food insecurity. For instance, nearly 5 million households with a senior, on average, receive $125 per month in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

However, SNAP could have a far greater impact in reducing senior hunger. Only 2 in 5 eligible seniors participate in SNAP. Several factors contribute to the low participation rate. Many seniors face barriers related to mobility, technology, and stigma.

Moreover, many seniors do not participate because of widespread myths about how the program works and who qualifies for it.

24 charged, 130 DME companies affected, $1.2 billion lost WISCONSIN SENIOR MEDICARE PATROL(SMP) RESOURCE LIBRARY

Executives and others associated with telemedicine and dura-ble medical equipment (DME) companies were charged on one of the largest health care fraud schemes investigated by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser-vices Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). The alleged scheme involved the payment of illegal kickbacks and bribes by DME companies in exchange for the referral of Medicare beneficiaries by medical professionals working with fraudulent telemedicine companies for back, shoulder, wrist, and knee braces that are medically unnecessary. It involved 24 individuals responsible for over $1.2 billion in losses. Adverse administrative action was taken against 130 DME companies that had submitted over $1.7 billion in claims and been paid over $900 million.

Read a Department of Justice press release regarding this case: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federalindictments-and-law-enforcement-actions-onelargest-health-care-fraud-schemes.

Does this federal case have implications in Wisconsin?

WISCONSIN SMP TEAM

Possibly. The DME companies named in this case were based in several states including California, Florida, South Carolina and Texas, to name a few. Wisconsin beneficiaries have reported to the Wisconsin Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) numerous times that they received unwanted braces from companies with addresses in these states. The Wisconsin SMP team is currently reviewing all of the case documentation to see if any of the companies named in this case sent braces to beneficiaries in Wisconsin. If the answer is yes, then we will be able to claim involvement in this case and take credit for recoveries made to Medicare for that equipment. While the amounts may be small in comparison to the $900 million that Medicare paid, every amount counts!

What does this mean for Medicare beneficiaries in Wisconsin? If you have received unwanted or un-needed braces, please contact the Wisconsin SMP with this information. Information that you share with us will be sent to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General for additional investigation. Every report matters as we continue to do all that we can to report suspected fraud and abuse so that it can be stopped, and dollars can be returned to the Medicare program.

When you call us, we will ask you for as much information as you have about the companies that you received these supplies from as well as copies of your Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs) that show that these companies in fact did bill Medicare for these unnecessary items.

Measles outbreak and older adults GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES

Currently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is reporting 1,001 cases of measles in the United States thus far in 2019. This is the greatest number of cases reported in the U.S. since 1994, when 958 cases were reported for the entire year. When hearing of the measles outbreak, much focus is on unvaccinated children; most older adults would not consider themselves at risk of an infection because they already had measles as a child or have been vaccinated themselves.

According to the CDC, adults age 63 and older (those born before 1957) are considered immune to the disease presumptively because they were likely infected naturally before the vaccine was invented, which provides lifelong immunity. Most older adults born in or after 1957 received two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine, and do not need to be re-vaccinated.

However, anyone who received an inactivated or killed version of the measles vaccine (which was available only in the mid-1960s), may not have developed immunity because this vaccine was ineffective. Also, older adults born outside of the U.S. may not have been exposed to measles and therefore may not have immunity to the virus. If you are unsure about your vaccination status, you can ask for a blood test from your doctor.

It’s never too late to get vaccinated. One dose of the current MMR vaccine is 93 percent effective at stopping the virus; two doses is 97

percent effective.

Checking your vaccination status is especially important if you plan on traveling abroad or to a state with reported cases of measles. Currently, these states include Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Tennessee

and Washington. If you do get a blood test to check your measles immunity, it is important to know that Medicare will not pay for this test. For coverage information regarding the MMR vaccine, check with your Medicare Part D plan.

Raymond Hinrichs Raymond “Buster” Hinrrichs died peacefully after a long illness on August 19, 22019 having reached the age o of 91. He was born on Aug gust 14, 1928 in Frederic, the y youngest son of six children b born to Remer and Emma ((Sahr) Hinrichs. His early sschool years through eighth g grade were spent at Spirit L Lake School. He attended G Grantsburg High School but left early to help his elderly parents on the farm.

On April 15, 1950 he was married to Betty Mae Ryan and they were happily married for just shy of 70 years. To this union three children were born, Daniel, Thomas and Mary Lynn. In 1958 they purchased the family farm in Grantsburg from his parents. He milked cows until 1986, then continued raising beef cattle. He farmed the land he loved raising corn and beans until he was 84.

He was a talented athlete who loved all sports. He played baseball for the Grantsburg town team, softball for many teams well into his fifties, enjoyed bowling, and in the later years loved golf and was proud to have had a hole in one.

He traveled widely as long as he could, enjoying many winters in Texas on the golf course. He spent a lifetime of learning and when he could no longer farm, spent every day reading every book he could lay his hands on. He was an avid Brewer, Badger and Packer fan, attending many games at Lambeau Field.

Ray was a loving family man – always there for everyone.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Robert and Arnold; sisters, Rose Gross and Audrey Hinrichs; daughter-in-law, Tina Hinrichs; and baby grandson.

He is survived by his wife, Betty Mae; sons, Daniel (Kim) Hinrichs, Thomas Hinrichs; daughter, Mary Hinrichs all of Grantsburg; four grandchildren, Daniel (Heather) Hinrichs II, Rachael (Adam) Praught, James (Krystal) Hinrichs and Brian (Holly) Hinrichs; great-grandchildren, Landon, Declan, Adison, Nolan, Ivy, Alaina, Emmett, Emmalynn, Sheldon, Donovan and Mya; sister, Virginia Danielson; sisters-in-law, Karen Klinkhammer, Ethel Deiss, Lenore Ramsdell; and many dear nieces and nephews.

Love your neighbor Pastor Andrew Dawson Worship and Creative Pastor Adventure Church

In today’s polarized and publicized world, it’s easy to harbor anger towards a loved one or to dislike another person because of their opinions or political leanings. We naturally want to be around like-minded people and stay in the comfortable zone of only interacting with those who share our feelings on important topics.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with spending time with people you agree with.

But what really matters is how you react

THE WOODLAND CHURCH

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH, ELCA

When we act in love, people are more apt to see the love of Jesus in us. We need to live in such a way that we continuously point people toward Jesus through all areas of our lives. Any interaction we have with another person can be a seed planted and an opportunity to show Jesus’ love. As you go through your week and cross paths with people you may disagree with, keep this in mind. Love your neighbor today as Christ loves you.

to and treat those with whom you don’t agree. Jesus was incredibly clear in Mark 12:31 when He said, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than [this].” Your neighbor is anyone who looks, acts, speaks, votes, or shows love differently than you do.

Jesus didn’t say, “love thy neighbor…unless you think they have a sinful lifestyle.”

Regardless of your personal opinions, Jesus commands us to love our neighbors.

Vietnam Veterans honored by County

Nine million Americans served in the Vietnam War, according to the United States Department of Veteran Affairs (USDVA). Of those nine million about seven million are still alive. Burnett County has joined a national program to thank those veterans still with us that never received the proper thank you they deserved.

The program is The United States of America Vietnam War Commemorative. Ret. Col. Doug Stubbe is the Burnett County Veterans Service Officer. This year is the first year the Burnett County Veterans Services office has participated in the program.

“The goal is to publicly thank every Vietnam Veteran,” Stubbe explained to the county board last week. “It is eligible for anyone that served in the U.S. Armed Forces from November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975.

The program began in 2012 and was signed by President Barack

Obama and recertified by President Donald Trump in 2017 commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. The program will now run until Veterans Day, 2025.

“I call upon all Americans to offer each of our Vietnam veterans and their families a thank you on behalf of the Nation, both privately and during public ceremonies and programs across our country,” President Trump said in 2017.

The program was started to thank any veteran who served on active duty in the US Armed Forces during the period of Nov 1, 1955 when the Military Assistance Advisory Group-Vietnam was established through May 15, 1975 marking the end of the last official battle of the Vietnam War; which was precipitated by the seizure of the SS Mayaguez.

They were all honored by the county board.
