Donations help football stay in Siren JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN––The Siren football was ready for the start of the season thanks to a number of donations from local businesses, Jenneman’s Hardware and Evergreen Landscaping, who donated their time to repair the Siren football field. Siren athletic director and head football coach Ryan Karsten brought the issue of the deteriorating football field surface for the upcoming 8-player football season to the school board in June. In April, while doing routine maintenance on the Siren Football field, a hole was found about three to four feet across and about two feet deep. It was filled in, but then another hole was created. Karsten then had the problem spot roped off. The Siren School board was hoping to have a second referendum pass in April that would SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 2

A two feet deep hole was discovered on the Siren football ﬁeld in the spring. The school board and coaches made sure it was ready for the ﬁrst game.

There is an alleyway between Jensen Sundquist Insurance Agency and the Senior Center downtown Grantsburg. This alleyway is being used to support the growth of local artists by giving them a safe place to come and show off their artistic talents through

painting. Thorne Carter was a junior at the Grantsburg High School when in his US Government class, he had to write a letter to a government official. He wrote to Larry Ebersold and the village board wanting to find a space for the public to paint and get into art. Below is an excerpt from his letter: “A public, artist-maintained and

reusable canvas such as a brick wall could provide and master different large-scale mediums. Not only would this wall be available to younger, inexperienced artists, but would also create a space for local artists to display their art to the public. Our community would be able to create artists that would SEE MURAL, PAGE 2

New deer baiting and feeding restrictions in effect September 1 MADISON––The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources was notified by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection that a captive elk on a captive elk farm in Burnett County tested positive for CWD. State law requires that the Wisconsin DNR enact a ban on

feeding and baiting of deer in counties or portions of counties within a 10-mile radius of a captive or free-roaming domestic or wild animal that tests positive for CWD or tuberculosis. As required by law, this will create a three-year baiting and feeding ban in Burnett County and two-year baiting and feeding bans for Barron,

Polk and Washburn counties beginning September 1, 2019. All four counties are already considered CWD-affected due to the 2011 wild CWD positive deer detection in Washburn. Hunters should check the DNR's baiting and feeding webpage frequently for updates, as new baiting and feeding bans may be enacted in 2019 with

new CWD detections. Note: the map on this page is updated on the day new bans go into effect. Hunters can also contact local wildlife staff to determine if baiting and feeding bans are in effect in their county. No counties statewide will be removed from the ban during the 2019 deer hunting season. For more information regard-

ing baiting and feeding regulations and CWD in Wisconsin and how to have adult deer tested during the hunting seasons, visit the DNR's website, dnr. wi.gov, and search "bait and feeding" and "CWD sampling," respectively. To report a sick deer on the landscape, search keywords "sick deer" or contact a local wildlife biologist.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to our nurses, physicians and care teams. amerymedicalcenter.org

MURAL: The alleyway becomes a place for the community to spread their artistic talent the community to be able to spread their artistic wings. Around June 12 of 2017, he was given permission by the board, Jensen Sundquist and the Senior Center to begin his project in the alleyway between the two businesses. The project became known as Grantsburg Public Art Space. The walls start out a solid white color. The public, all ages, is welcome to come and paint on any part of the walls in the alley, but they are asked to please be respectful and not paint over any other artist’s work. Types of paints that can be used are latex, acrylic, aerosol and wheat paste. It is asked that painting is only done between sunrise and sunset- please no painting after dark. If you are thinking of creating a mural that will need a larger space, reach out to the Facebook page, Grantsburg Public Art Space, and they will

be masters in their craft, able to take on newer and more professional projects to benefit the Village and express themselves more freely as they do it. As an artist, I receive my inspiration from others and feel the need to reciprocate, to assist, to help strengthen younger artists in their skills. Whether it is a hobby or an avenue of lifelong success, I believe it is imperative that those who could possibly find interest in large scale art be able to access it easily and with support from their community.” Carter was invited by the board to present his ideas at one of their meetings. He explained to them that there was a lot of bad things happening in the community which could help be battled by an artistic outlet. He had already painted a mural in the middle school art room and at the Burnett Medical Center. Possibly having a place to paint murals, like in the alleyway downtown would be a nice place for

reserve a section of the wall for you. This project is being maintained and cared for by Carter and Adeline Dauer. Once a month, or as needed, they will re-paint the walls a solid white so that the community can continue to release their artistic talents. If you are looking for a space to paint in the alleyway and none is available, contact their Facebook page and either Carter or Dauer will lay a base color of white. Carter is hoping that this project will possibly lead into something greater one day. He hopes that once there is a good group of artists, that they could possibly create a more artistic community and paint murals on the outside of buildings for local businesses. To see artists’ work that has been created in the alley, visit the Facebook page or walk through the alley throughout the year and see new projects. KAYLA CASEY | SENTINEL

During the community painting event, many new paintings were added to the new white walls in the alleyway.

FOOTBALL: Field ready in time for season after exploring options outside of Siren accepted the donations $750 from Jenneman’s Hardware for labor and a donation of $7,000 from Evergreen Landscaping. Duane Emery of the board said this patch work on the field is not in any way a permanent solution. Siren’s next game of the season will be held Friday September 13 when the Dragons will host Mercer/Butternut.

have given the school $2 million to relocate the field behind the school. Last week they discussed what can be done in the future with the field. This has been an ongoing issue with the field for a few years. There was speculation that a river was underneath the field and the school. The board had discussed getting a survey done of the field due to the amount of sink holes Karsten suggested going to area schools with artificial turf – Cumberland, Osceola, Rice Lake and Superior and asking them if they could rent the field out for home games. He also suggested playing football at the Siren Ballpark and even shifting the field at its current location to not have to deal with the former hole. Karsten reached out to the community for suggestions and that is when Mike Swanson of Jenneman’s Hardware and Nate D’Jock of Evergreen Landscaping said they could help. Karsten explained to the board that D’Jock will take care of the field and they will donate 100 percent of their time and machinery. D’Jock asked the school to cover the cost of materials, which was estimated to cost $5,800. “They will repair an area 70 feet by 30 feet so it will be six times larger than the area of the current hole,” Karsten said in April. “It’s a better solution than going out there with a pale of sand and filling the hole.” Karsten also spoke with Mike Swanson of Jenneman’s Hardware Hank in Siren. He said he would donate 100 percent of labor costs as well to get a sprinkler system set up on the field because the newly planted seed will need

to be watered. The total cost of the system will be about $1600. It will include sand point well pump, irrigation hose, fittings and everything else. “I don’t think we’re going to find a better price,” Karsten said. “I don’t have another solution,” Karsten admitted. There was an idea of moving the field to run east/west and Karsten said he would need 70 days to complete that project. “With the time table we have it is not feasible.” At their last meeting the school board

Remember CatDog?

or all the millennials out there, how about that show CatDog? Now that was the perfect combination of both animals mixed with a lot of nerves and insanity. CatDog was a cartoon on Nickelodeon from 19982005. They were conjoined siblings, one a cat and the other a dog, and each controlled two front paws and shared a body. Absurdly implausible but hilarious to a seven-year-old. Even seven-year-old me knew the dog was the better of the animals. (Also, I’m sorry for the parents that had to watch their kids brain turn to mush as they watched CatDog) I got to watch a pair of dogs over the weekend. They are not dumb dogs, but they sure have separation anxiety things going on. Two hands would not suffice while trying to pet them. While I was petting one of them the other was watching me with the thought of, “why does she get all the pets?” Sentinel Then would nudge his way in front of me. That would set her off and Editor she would again try and gain the Jonathan Richie upper hand by bullying her way in front of me. What if I dared not pet either of them? Well, they would just start barking. Then they began trying to join me on the couch. This ended with both of them jumping on top of me on the couch and having me pinned down for about 45 seconds while I tried to figure out an escape plan. The only thing I could think of was to just start screaming and flailing my arms around. So that’s exactly what I did. At this point it was best if we all got outside for some fresh air. That seemed to calm them down for about 12 seconds. Also, anytime I would get up they would follow me around, even into the bathroom. It was like being the Pied Piper. This leads me to my main point which is - dogs are great and cats are not. Very few things in life are that simple, however this argument is just that. Lassie, Old Yeller, Beethoven, Checkers Nixon and Pavlov’s dog are all famous canines. And what does the other side have – Garfield. We get it Jim Davis, he’s a cat that loves lasagna and hates Mondays. Relatable – yes but does anybody care? Famous cats also include Grumpy Cat and Hello Kitty, again useless. Yes, many people equate dogs with stupidity and smelling bad. And they also lick themselves incessantly and then they want to lick you. But what have cats ever done? They’ve got knives coming out of their paws. And you cannot de-claw cats because it is the equivalent of a human being having their entire fingernail ripped off. That’s right, not clipped but in fact ripped off. Cats also have this thing about them where I always feel they are plotting against me. So I prefer dogs. In the end there are two choices. Dogs, who want to be your best friend or cats who want to eliminate you in your sleep. I’ll let you decide what pet is best for you.

hope you had a great Labor Day holiday. I am left pondering where the summer went because it took so long to get here this year. But I cannot and must not spend too much time worrying about the past. If the press releases from the publishers of the almanacs are to be believed, it’s now time to get serious about winter. Yes, no time to From the dilly dally with auPublisher’s tumn. Chug that pumpkin spice Desk latte. You’ll need Tom Stangl the caffeine to power through the lleaves, which hi h h have already begun falling at my house. You may want to stock up on apples from the orchard, you will need them for the “never ending winter” predicted by the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which was 80.5 percent accurate in their predictions of last winter’s weather. According to news accounts, there will be “big chills and strong storms bringing a steady roof beat of heavy rain and sleet, not to mention piles of snow” with no fewer than seven large snowstorms from coast to coast.

Both the Old Farmer’s Almanac and the Farmer’s Almanac are predicting cold outbreaks for late January with wet snow and chilly conditions extending into April. These publications continue to make news each year with their fearless prognostications of the weather. They refuse to reveal how they do their forecasts and usually talk about how they look at history, the moon and nature to predict the weather. One story I read online listed 20 different signs in nature that predict the weather. See how many you know: 1. Thicker-than-normal corn husks. 2. Woodpeckers sharing a tree. 3. The early arrival of the snowy owl. 4. The early departure of geese and ducks. 5. The early migration of the Monarch butterfly. 6. Thick hair on the nape of a cow’s neck. 7. Heavy and numerous fogs during August. 8. Raccoons with thick tails and bright bands. 9. Mice chewing furiously to get into your home. 10. The early arrival of crickets on the hearth. 11.

For the record, some of us are very jealous of those of you who do get to migrate for the winter, but that’s another column. All this talk of winter gives us something to talk about with strangers because everyone likes to complain about the weather. In a time of sharply divided politics, our hate of winter seems to be the one thing we all can agree upon, so I guess that’s a good thing? Well, look on the bright side.

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.

We can all be the one to prevent suicide SENATOR PATTY SCHACHTNER

If you or someone you know is in an emergency, call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or call 911 immediately. Suicide has the potential to impact anyone. It does not discriminate by race, age, socioeconomic class, or religion. In Wisconsin, the suicide rate is four times the homicide Patty rate with over 700 Schachtner Wisconsinites dying by suicide each year. District 10 Additionally, approxSenator imately 5,500 Wisconsin residents are hospitalized due to self-inflicted injury each year. While those number are daunting, each of us can make a difference that could save a life. September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and it is particularly important for us to elevate this issue in Wisconsin. Suicide rates in our state have risen by nearly 26% since 1999 according to

the Centers for Disease Control- a rate two points higher than the national average. As a medical examiner, I work closely with law enforcement to investigate deaths and speak with families who have been impacted by the death of their loved one. I know that each suicide creates a ripple effect that touches family, friends, and our entire community. These deaths are preventable, and we can do more to reach people who are struggling. We know what works; improving community preventive services, enhancing mental health treatment, and strengthening research and evaluation

Be the one to ask if a friend or loved one if they are thinking about harming themselves. Be the one to separate them from anything they may use to hurt themselves. Be the one to listen without judgment. Be the one who connects them to help from family, religious leaders, therapists, or a hotline. Be the one to check in on people in crisis and make sure they know you care about them. Be the one to prevent self-harm and save a life.

The right way forward SENATOR JANET BEWLEY

Recently I’ve written about areas where legislators from both parties have found common ground and come together - supporting the Veterans Outreach and Recovery Program, increasing the number of Assistant District Attorneys and cosponsoring legislation to protect students, teachers and administrators in our public schools. In our democratic system, it’s important for lawmakers to work together whenever possible to fix the issues of our day. This is especially true when it comes to addressing mental health issues. When someone has reached a point where their physical safety or the safety of others is in question, our EMS and police officers are called upon. Unfortunately, in many cases the only option is emergency detention, which requires transporting those individuals hundreds of miles away to Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh. This is taxing on the patient, as well as his or her loved ones, and drains local resources. For many of our small town law enforcement agencies, this can mean taking an officer off of the streets for considerable amounts of time. Our job is to figure out a way to fix this problem. A provision was included in the 2019-2021 State Budget that would have authorized $15 million in bonding for a “Northern Wisconsin Regional Crisis Center.” When I first heard about it, I was excited. But that changed when I discovered that the language was so vague as to provide absolutely no guarantee that the 22 additional hospital beds would have been available for emergency detentions, and that they all were in the Eau Claire area. It takes as long to get to Eau Claire from parts of my Senate District as it does to get to Oshkosh. Although

of our existing programs. People with previously identified mental illnesses make up about half of all suicides. We need more resources for people experiencing mental health crises in Northwestern Wisconsin, which is why I’m working across the aisle in Madison to create a system of prevention, not just hospitalization which may come too late. Over half of the people who complete suicide showed no diagnosable mental illness prior. We need a holistic approach that can reach every person in need, regardless of diagnosis. Between 2009 and 2013, the suicide rates of Burnett, Polk, St. Croix, and Pierce counties were all higher than

well intentioned, the proposal was offered without any public vetting, without input from the stakeholders who are on the front lines of this crisis. Governor Evers vetoed that provision. I know that people, especially those in the Eau Claire area, are disappointed. But we can and will do better. That’s why I’ve signed onto a bipartisan piece of legislation, authored by Senator Jerry Petrowski (R – Marathon) and Senator Patty Schachtner (D – Somerset) that would create a grant program to establish regional crisis stabiliJanet zation facilities to help Bewley with pressing mental health needs. ProvidWisconsin ing these stabilization Senator centers throughout the state will help reduce how often someone does need to be held on a Chapter 51 emergency detention. And I am working on further legislation that will flesh out some of the details that were missing in the proposal that was included in the budget. Instead of putting 22 additional beds in Eau Claire, we can find a way to add four or five beds at four or five locations across northern and western Wisconsin. And we can find a way to make sure the beds are available when local law enforcement departments need them. I have reached out to Governor Evers and the Department of Health Services (DHS) for their input. And Attorney General Kaul will soon announce a statewide summit on the emergency detention issue, inviting local law enforcement and stakeholders including legislators, the Counties Association, the Hospital Association, and others. With their input, and yours. We can work together to move forward in the right way.

our statewide average. After watching the rate in St. Croix County grow from zero suicides in 2007 to 18 in 2011, I took action and created the St. Croix County Suicide Prevention Task Force. Our group is dedicated to preventing suicide through a training known as Question, Persuade, Refer, or QPR. QPR training teaches people to recognize suicide risk factors in the people around them, as well as how to talk to someone who might be contemplating suicide. These trainings can be done in schools, local businesses, or anywhere in our community. QPR- like CPR- can save the life of someone in trouble. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is also focused on prevention, and they are spreading the word through a #Bethe1To campaign. Be the one to ask if a friend or loved one if they are thinking about harming themselves. Be the one to separate them from anything they may use to hurt themselves. Be the one to listen without judgment. Be the one who connects them to help from family, religious leaders, therapists, or a hotline. Be the one to check in on people in crisis and make sure they know you care about them. Be the one to prevent self-harm and save a life.

Fresh tomato spaghetti sauce solidiﬁes a new friendship

grew up eating some form of pasta covered in red sauce at least every other week. Mom’s sauce is a thick and rich flavorful red sauce that sticks to your ribs. She made spaghetti and meatballs, rigatoni, mostaccioli, and lasagna with it. The only thing that ever changed with her sauce when I was a kid was the addition or omission of meat or cheese. I love her sauce—so do the friends and family I’ve cooked for over the years. It’s one of my most requested recipes. My spaghetti sauce Wild Chow world was turned upside down many years Lisa Erickson ago when I met a new friend, Kim Gearin. She made spaghetti sauce from fresh tomatoes from her garden. It was light and fresh and had a completely different flavor profile. It was nothing like my mother’s canned tomato sauce version. Plus, Kim topped the sauce with only fresh Parmesan cheese and fresh basil—no meat! She served it over thin pasta noodles. It was divine. I knew we’d be friends forever. The best part about this sauce is you don’t need a recipe or the addition of meat—trust me, you won’t miss it. I still make my mom’s sauce most of the year, but when summer’s tomato bounty is here, it’s fresh spaghetti sauce all the way! Here is a basic recipe for the sauce, but you can adjust it depending on how many tomatoes you have. I’ve made it without fresh thyme and basil. The dried version of these herbs is just as

good. Make sure you taste the sauce as you’re making it, adding the herbs and other ingredients in small quantities to taste. Fresh Spaghetti Sauce Serves 4 2 tbsp. butter 1 onion, chopped 7-8 medium/large tomatoes, quartered 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. salt Pepper to taste 1—2 tsp. sugar 1 stem fresh basil, chopped and divided 1 sprig fresh thyme or ½ tsp. dry thyme 4 servings cooked pasta Coarsely grated fresh Parmesan cheese In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, cooking until tender; about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes. With the back of a spoon, gently push on the tomatoes, helping them break down. Add half the chopped basil and the sprig of thyme. Let the tomatoes simmer and release their juices. With a fork, carefully remove any tomatoes skins that curl up and discard. Once all the tomatoes have broken down into a very loose sauce, simmer until thickened; about 20-25 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat. Discard the sprig of thyme. Plate the pasta and spoon the sauce over the top. Top with the parmesan cheese and remaining basil.

Carol and Rick were incredibly proud of him when they heard the news. “I think Matt has an idea of what path he would like to continue down in the medical field but wants to wait and see where the next couple of years takes him,” Rick said. Rick is a teacher at Siren High School and said that he and his wife, Carol, continue to be very proud of their son. He continued to say that Carol, a registered nurse with St. Croix Regional Medical Center is possibly Matt’s greatest influence. Apparently Matt did not always want to be a doctor. After graduation in Siren he went to the University of Wisconsin – Madison where he studied Biochemistry. He earned his degree in 2018 and went on to Boston University to pursue his master’s degree. Rick told the Sentinel while in Boston Matt applied to medical schools and eventually chose Madison. Rick listed a number of influences of his son including teachers and coaches from Siren but insisted it was never one single person but in fact it was the combination of people that helped his son get where he is today. He concluded, “It really does take a community.”

FISCAL FACTS

Why state spending on capital projects is on the rise Wisconsin’s latest surge in spending on building projects — more than $1.9 billion over the two-year budget — follows four years in which funding was curtailed for the state’s vast portfolio of facilities. This amount is the total for the state’s 2019-21 capital budget, which funds maintenance and upgrades to more than 6,000 buildings owned by the state. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republican lawmakers have drawn attention for nearly doubling spending in the latest capital budget and for more than doubling borrowing in this area. However, the spending increase was driven in part by the $3.5 billion in project requests made by state agencies last year under former Gov. Scott Walker — the highest amount in at least the past decade. In the latest budget, Evers and legislators approved just over half the total dollar amount of capital projects requested. This was a larger share than recent years but still below the average since 2007.

After adjusting for inflation, the current capital budget represents the largest since 2001, when more than $2.2 billion in 2019 dollars was approved. It is roughly twice as large as those approved in 2015 and 2017. The largest sum in the latest budget went to the University of Wisconsin System, which has the most state facilities, and which received a less than average share of its requests in the two previous state budgets. While delaying a capital project can yield short-term savings, it also can result in a long-term cost. Estimated costs for several project requests that were deferred in previous budgets and made again in the latest one rose more quickly than the rate of inflation.

Florida man gets life in prison for death of Wisconsin wife WAUKESHAâ€”A 79-year-old Florida man has been sentenced to life in prison for the death of his wife, whose body has never been found 40 years after she disappeared in Wisconsin. John Bayerl received a mandatory life sentence Friday after jurors in Waukesha County found him guilty of first-degree murder in June in the death of his wife, Dona Mae Bayerl. WITI-TV reports Bayerl main-

tained his innocence at sentencing. He did not testify at his trial. Bayerl was arrested in Fort Myers, Florida, in February and extradited to Waukesha, Wisconsin, to stand trial in the death of his 38-year-old wife. Bayerl reported his wife missing on May 9, 1979. He told police she left their home in Muskego after an argument three days earlier. She was legally declared dead in 1986.

CAPITOL REPORT

Dentists, lawmakers disagree on how to address needs The Republican authors of legislation to create a new dental therapist license in Wisconsin hailed the proposal as a way to improve access. But a lobbyist for the Wisconsin Dental Association countered that while the lawmakersâ€™ intentions were good, their efforts were misplaced. He said the state would be better off to invest in the care already provided by his members, particularly by improving reimbursement rates under the Medicaid program. WDAâ€™s Matt Rossetto argued to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee at an hours-long public hearing on Aug. 21 that his members werenâ€™t worried about the possibility of competition from dental therapists, who would be a step down from a dentist in the procedures they could perform. Still, he said the proposal wouldnâ€™t be as effective as backers argued for expanding access, particularly in rural areas. He said the state has repeatedly opted against increasing reimbursement rates for dental care under the Medicaid program, resulting in Wisconsin slipping to No. 49 in the country. Rossetto argued that has resulted in

dentists deciding against participating in the program. With some 3,700 dentists in the state, he said there are enough to serve the population. But they are concentrated in urban and suburban areas because patients there are more likely to either have insurance or be able to pay for services on their own. â€œWe do not have a supply problem,â€? Rossetto said. â€œWe have a distribution problem.â€? But Rep. Mary Felzkowski, R-Irma, and Sen. David Craig, R-Big Bend, touted their proposal to the Senate committee, arguing it is a needed step to expand access. â€œIf we donâ€™t have caregivers to perform procedures, all the money in the world wonâ€™t help us,â€? Felzkowski said. Current law only provides licenses for dentists and dental hygienists. The bill would create a dental therapist who would have to work under the general supervision of a dentist through a collaborative management agreement. They would be able to perform services that range from oral evaluations to tooth extraction. Felzkowski said the WDA had declined to sit down with the authors

to work on the bill but expressed hope they could in the future. â€œI do think thereâ€™s common ground that we could help make this maybe a little more palatable, but they have not sat down with us,â€? she said. Rossetto had several testy exchanges with GOP Sen. Dale Kooyenga, who asked the lobbyist pointed questions. They jousted over funding. And Kooyenga pressed Rossetto on whether there were any dentists in Wisconsin he wouldnâ€™t trust to oversee a dental therapist after the lobbyist raised concerns about the supervision requirements in the bill. At one point, Rossetto complained the WDA wasnâ€™t â€œpart of the conversationâ€? on the bill, drawing a rebuke from Kooyenga, who reminded the lobbyist he was part of a public hearing on the bill. Rossetto said Kooyenga wasnâ€™t involved in drafting the bill, prompting the lawmaker to remind him he was one of the co-authors. â€œStop saying weâ€™re not having a conversation,â€? Kooyenga said. According to the Badger Institute, which supports the bill, more than 20% of the stateâ€™s population lives in

dental care shortage areas. And 64 of the stateâ€™s 72 counties have at least one dental care shortage area, as designated by the federal government. Dental therapists are mid-level providers who work under dentists to provide care at a lower cost. In a joint release, the Badger Institute and Kids Forward say allowing dental therapists to practice in the state would give more children access to care they currently canâ€™t get due to financial struggles or other issues. Dr. Patrick Tepe, a Verona dentist and president of WDA, says the state instead needs â€œadequate resourcesâ€? for dentists and other dental care providers already working in the state. Marquette University, which houses the stateâ€™s only dental school, also has registered in opposition to the proposal.

Wisconsin sexual assault kit tests yield ďŹ rst conviction

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Tree down in Grantsburg

MADISONâ€” The state Justice Department has won its first conviction using results from testing thousands of unanalyzed sexual assault kits. The department announced Thursday that a Waupaca County jury convicted Leroy Whittenberger of three counts of second-degree sexual assault on Wednesday. According to a criminal complaint filed in April 2018, Whittenberger assaulted a teenage girl in New London in 2012. The girlâ€™s sexual assault kit was tested in 2017. The testing enabled analysts to match the offenderâ€™s DNA to Whittenberger. Justice Department spokeswoman Gillian Drummond didnâ€™t immediately respond to an email asking why the victimâ€™s kit wasnâ€™t tested sooner. The department in 2017 began testing about 4,000 kits that had gone unexamined for decades. Thirty-five cases had been referred for charges as of July.

Home Safety Checklist CARRIE MYERS, RESOURCE SPECIALIST ADRC OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN

Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall. Many falls happen in the home and they are often due to hazards that are easy to overlook but also very easy to fix. This checklist, provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will help you find and fix those hazards in your home. 1. Floors: Look at the floor in each room for these common fall hazards. a. Do I have to walk around furniture when I walk through a room? b. Do I have rugs on the floor? c. Are there papers, books, shoes, or other objects on the floor? d. Do you have to walk over or around cords (like lamp, telephone, or extension cords)? 2. Stairs and steps: Look at the stairs inside and outside for these common fall hazards. a. Are there papers, shoes, books, or other objects on the stairs? b. Are some steps broken or uneven? c. Are you missing a light over the stairway? d. Do you have only one light switch for your stairs (only at the top/bottom of the stairs)? e. Has the stairway light bulb burned out? f. Is the carpet on the steps loose or torn? g. Are the handrails loose or broken? Is there a handrail on only one side of the stairs? 3. Kitchen: Look at your kitchen and eating area for these common fall hazards. a. Are the things you use often on high shelves? b. Is your step stool unsteady? 4. Bathrooms: Look at all your bathrooms for these common fall hazards. a. Is the tub or shower floor slippery? b. Do you need support getting in and out of the tub or up from the toilet? 5. Bedrooms: Look at all your bedrooms. a. Is the light near the bed hard to reach? b. Is the path from your bed to the bathroom dark? There is a lot you can do to decrease your risk for falling and this checklist is a great place to start! To learn more, call the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin at 877-485-2372 to sign up for a Stepping On fall prevention workshop. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org.

What? Where do I go? Yes! The main street is all dug up. And now everyone is trying to find a spot to park. Or a way into one of the downtown businesses. It’s going to be a mess for a while. We hope it goes fast. Another month has passed as summer is winding up and another school year starts. Be extra alert that those buses are going to be making many stops. Fun Fact: Did you know the nation’s first kindergarten was established in Watertown in 1856. Its first students were local German-speaking youngsters.

The 500 winners for August 28 were Bren Nell Ward, Paul Strasser, Barb Geske, Marge Traun, Roger Greely and Steve Wenthe tied for fifth place. Dave Peterson got the 9 bid. I don’t have the spade winners as the papers needed everything early. I hope to have them for next week.

The Minute Man Outing AN OUTDOORSMANâ€™S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, Before I get into this weekâ€™s column I want to publicly say that though some people in the media and a few of our politicians seem to seek out negativity with both our police and our military, I have the utmost respect for our law enforcement officers and the U.S. military. Back in the 80s I was a member of the Wisconsin Air National Guard at Truax Field. My enlistment ended in 1987 and I literally hit the woods and waters and have never looked back. Every August several of us get together to fish musky and laugh a lot. Over the years we fished the Pike/Round lake chain, the Chippewa flowage and now the Eagle River chain of lakes. Several years ago, some of the guys from my deer camp joined our group as well- my nephewâ€™s high school buddies from the Poynette/Deforest area! Friday, August 23 High 74, low 51 Whenever you talk with one of the die-hards in this group of what would be 24, this year they refer to this weekend as the â€œMusky Tournamentâ€?. In reality, no matter what the name or the year, this is a great trip and I kept thinking that on the ride to Chanticleer Resort today. Chanticleer was born in 1922 and is a fantastic place to hang your hat. So, my partner was in the Air National Guard for 22-years and has been a member of The Red Brush Deer Camp for something like 43-years and insists on calling me â€œMaster Guide Extraordinaire. Jeff Moll is lots of fun and really wanted to catch a musky in this get together. This afternoon is when most people arrive, and we all do a little scouting but most importantly on this day we socialize on the water and later at the lodge at Chanticleer. For us guys that were in the guards together, I got out long before most of them, but we tell a gazillion stories about the 80s. I was on a weapons load crew for the A-10 aircraft and Tommy Gilberston was my â€œone manâ€?. I was kind of unruly back in those days but very good at my job as a â€œthree manâ€?. Tommy would be running the show this year and like most years, Tom and his partner Gary Jensen did not catch much, sorry guys but I have to tell it like it is (Gary was also one of my bosses). Saturday, August 24 Jeff and I were in the boat for 14 hours today without getting out of the boat with one exception. I have kind of a bad left hand due to a wood splitter and a

330-beaver trap. I am left-handed and sometimes I lose my grip. On hour ten I was making a cast and lost my grip on my fishing rod. Without hesitation I jumped in as the boat was moving forward and after a good hunt, found it. I had my cell phone in my shorts and Mr. Moll took the battery out and saved the day while I searched for my fishing rod. In another boat, Ruben Herschelb and Mike Bolig, who I think are from the Deforest area, were very determined and kept whacking away with Suicks. Today Ruben caught a 43.5-inch musky and the following day he caught a 36-inch which gave these fellas bragging rights for the year. I have to tell ya, we had fun on the water talking to our comrades throughout the day. We had fun at the lodge and late into each night there was a get together where we laughed our heads off. About ten of us went to the same high school, Poynette, and that is another source of laughs. Trent Schuster is my nephew and the two of us have a to the death competition in anything that we do. FINALLY, Trent beat me in something and took second place in the northern pike side bet. Trent begged me in front of everyone to mention his â€œbig momentâ€? so now I guess this makes me a great uncle! My good buddy Rob Meier who is the son of John Meier, another one of my bosses that I kind of stressed out back in 1981-87, took first in the gator bet and a good time was had by all. What I said at the start of this column I meant, law enforcement/military I salute all of you! Sunset.

Webster wins opener against Owen-Withee SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

WEBSTER – The Webster football team had a kick in its season opener, despite not having a kicker. Hosting Owen-Withee on Friday, the Tigers scored touchdowns on the ground and through the air while their defense didn’t allow a score in a 36-6 win. Austin Sigfrids went 13-for-23 passing for 220 yards and two touchdowns to lead Webster, which is still trying to develop an option in the kicking game. “We are working on a kicker but at this time our best option is to go for two points,” Webster coach Andy Smith said. Fortunately for the Tigers, they had enough offense to make extra point attempts a non-issue. After a scoreless first quarter, they went to the passing game to take the lead and notch the game-winning points. Sigfrids and Xavier Stanton connected twice in the quarter, both from the same distance. Less than a minute in, they notched their first 28-yard touchdown and with less than

two minutes remaining, they scored their second. Both scores were followed by 2-point conversion runs by Nathan Stadler and Webster led 16-0 heading into halftime.

“(We) played hard for four quarters (and) defensively we got 11 players to the ball,” Smith said. “We need to cleanup our reads and eye discipline.”

The Tigers went up by three scores with just over six minutes remaining in the third quarter, when Stadler scored on a 17-yard touchdown run. While the following conversion

failed, the Tigers needed only to avoid a collapse to get the win. Owen-Withee then SEE WEBSTER FOOTBALL, PAGE 14

Sophomores lead way for early thinclads season JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

GRANTSBURG––The Cross Country season is underway and both area schools were represented at the annual Carlyle Sherstad Memorial Invitational. On the boys side, Grantsburg had two finishers end the day with podium results. Sophomores Chase Doornink, 18:39, and Will Gerber, 19:08, placed second and third at the invite last Thursday. Team results show Grantsburg finished in second place and Webster finished in sixth. “We are not running at full strength,” Webster coach Roy Ward said after the meet. “Off to a tough start for many who have some ailing injuries or not if very good shape. Neither of which are very fun.” Ward said of Junior, Edwin Janssen, “Great attitude and work ethic. He has improved quite a bit from last year. He placed 16th with a time of 22:08.” Sophomore AJ Flatten finished 32nd

overall with a time of 31:19. “AJ was second on the team and finished a good race for him,” Ward said.

Ward continued with the results from the girls. “Jenna (Gomulak) earned a med-

al,” Ward commented. “I have always thought that was quite an accomplishment at a tough course like Grantsburg, especially early in the season. Jenna was 10th with a time of 27:15. Webster Junior Emily Dorriott finished two spots behind her team mate with a time of 27:57. “This was Emily's first CC race. She did very well,” Ward said. “Also new to the team is Grace (McCool.) It is nice to have both these girls on the team. Dahlia (Dorn) moved up from the MS to run her first HS race. All of these girls and many of the boys have their first meet at Grantsburg in the books.” The Grantsburg Girls team finished in third place overall. Freshman Ayla Meyer finished in third place with a time of 25:59. Senior runner Hope McKinely took 9th place with freshman teammate Cassidy Troff finishing in 10th place at 29:11. Both schools next meet will be the Spooner Invite on Thursday Sept. 5.

Grantsburg takes ﬁfth at Stout SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

MENOMONIE – The Grantsburg volleyball team earned a top5 finish to start the 2019 season. In the two-day 40-team Menomonie Sprawl at University of Wisconsin-Stout, the Pirates went undefeated on Friday and won two of their three matches on Saturday to place fifth overall. Grantsburg didn’t surrender a set in the opening day, starting with a 25-23, 25-20 win over Ellsworth. Ellie Duncan had 13 assists; Olivia Ohnstad had 10 digs and six kills while Hanne Johnson had nine kills and two blocks. Johnson led the Pirates’ following win over Rice Lake. She had 10 assists, eight digs and eight kills in the 25-20, 25-17 win over the Warriors. Grantsburg had an easier time gaining its third win on Friday, defeating Colby 25-9, 25-8. Ellie Duncan had 12 assists and Johnson added 10; Raisa Jensen had seven digs and Ohnstad had six kills. The match against Wausau West gave the Pirates a challenge though it didn’t derail their undefeated day. Grantsburg won 25-22, 25-20 to close the first day of the season with a 4-0 record. Ohnstad had 13 digs, 10 kills and four blocks; Jensen had 13 digs; Johnson had nine assists, nine digs and five kills. A potential undefeated path to a tournament win was derailed by River Falls on Saturday morning. The Wildcats handed the Pirates their first loss of the season, 25-17 and 25-18. Duncan had seven assists; Ohnstad had seven digs and five kills; Johnson had six kills and five assists. “Our only loss was to (Division 1) River Falls – the eventual undefeated Sprawl champions whose roster boasts several D-1 and D-2 college commits,” Grantsburg coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. However, the Pirates recovered to win their final two matches of the tournament and secure the top-5 finish. They earned a 25-12, 25-20 win over Columbus Catholic; Duncan had 12 assists and Ohnstad had 12 digs while Jensen added 10. Grantsburg’s tournament concluded with a 25-15, 25-12 win over McDonell Central. Johnson had nine kills; Ohnstad had six digs and Duncan had 17 assists. The Pirates exited the opening weekend with a 6-1 record despite a portion of the roster getting their first varsity experience. “Half of our team has little to no high-level varsity experience, so they really rose to the occasion,” Allaman-Johnson said. “We also have a couple of players trying new positions for the first time, so this was a good test against several high-caliber teams.”

Pirates mistakes lead to loss SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG – Miscues, both forced and unforced, were the undoing of the Grantsburg football team on Friday. The Pirates’ mistakes at home against Abbotsford helped the visitor to a 20-point second quarter, nearly 400 yards rushing and prevented them from potentially scoring a pair of touchdowns in a 46-23 loss. The Falcons finished with 376 yards and six touchdowns on the ground, though knowing the run was coming didn’t necessarily help the Pirates. “(Abbotsford) only passed a few times and for good reason – they didn’t have to,” Grantsburg coach Adam Hale said. “They scored early and often.” The Falcons’ early score was on an 8-yard touchdown run that gave them a 6-0 lead. The Pirates managed to get in field goal range for Jared VanWatermuelen to put three points on the board, making it a 6-3 game to start the second. Abbotsford then took control of the game by making long sustained drives that usually ended with points. The Falcons scored three rushing touchdowns and while the Pirates got a 1-yard touchdown run from Sterling McKinley, they weren’t able to capitalize on other opportunities and sometimes assisted on extending Abbotsford drives. “We lined-up wrong, we didn’t’ follow our keys, we stood straight-up and allowed (Abbotsford) to do what they wanted,” Hale said. “Most of the night they scored off long drives and picked-up six, seven or eight yards a pop. Besides the first two drives, I thought we moved the ball well but had two costly turnovers in the red zone that could have been a 14-point swing and at least allowed us to stay within a touchdown or two.” Abbotsford made the situation worse for Grantsburg in the third quarter, scoring a pair of touchdowns while blanking the Pirates. The Falcons’ scores were on a 67-yard touchdown run and an 83-yard fumble recovery for another score to take a 40-10 lead.

Grantsburg's Jared VanWatermeulen (87) stretches for a catch in the loss to Abbotsford Friday night.

Grantsburg managed a pair of scores in the fourth quarter, with an 8-yard touchdown pass from McKinley to Zach Miller and a 25-yard touchdown pass from Carter Johnson to VanWatermuelen. But even without an insurance score from Abbotsford in the fourth, the Pirates’ late scoring wasn’t enough to threaten a come-from-behind win. “It was a disappointing night,” Hale said. “We wanted to be balanced going into the game and thought we’d be able to throw the ball with some success.” Abbotsford’s defense intercepted a pair of McKinley passes and limited the Pirates’ ground game to 114 yards. McKinley went 17-for-32 for 163 passing yards; Johnson was 3-for-3 for 51 yards and Miller finished with eight catches for 110 yards. McKinley led the defense with 14 tackles; Dane Jensen and Phil Hein had nine tackles each. The Pirates moved to 1-1 on the season and go on the road to face Turtle Lake this Thursday. The Lakers are 2-0 after a 26-6 win over Pepin-Alma last week.

answered with a play that could have sparked a comeback, scoring on a 78-yard kickoff return to spoil Webster’s shutout hopes. The Tigers stopped the 2-point attempt and their defense continued to blank Owen-Withee and contain its best offensive options. “They have a pretty good tackle that’s a big kid and looking to play at (University of Wisconsin) La Crosse next year,” Smith said. “Their fullback is a hard-nosed kid, but we were able to do a nice job up the middle with Harlo Olson at nose tackle and Tristan Benjamin playing (middle linebacker) for us.” The Tigers owned the final two scores of the game, both coming in the fourth quarter.

Dragons continue winning ways SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

PRAIRIE FARM – The ratio of touchdowns to quarters played has been exception for Cordell Fischer so far in the 2019 season. The Siren running back had limited play in the season-opening win over Clayton but still managed five touchdowns in the 56-8 win. Last Friday, he once again earned time to rest. Fischer rushed for four touchdowns and 212 yards to lead the Siren 8-player football team to a 44-0 win over Prairie Farm, giving the Dragons a 2-0 record to start September. “Cordell is off to a good start and has played only five quarters this year due to the scores of our first two games,” Siren coach Ryan Karsten said. “If he keeps this pace up, he will have a great season.” Fischer put Siren on the board in the first quarter against Prairie Farm, capping a scoring drive with a 1-yard

touchdown run. Jordan Webster connected with Trevor Stanford on the 2-point conversion, giving the Dragons an 8-0 lead. The Panthers had a prime opportunity to get on the board, if not tie the game, in the first quarter. But a potential touchdown pass was dropped and they remained scoreless. The run game also provided the next Siren score though more points were put up by the pass before halftime. Fischer ended another Dragons’ scoring drive with a 3-yard touchdown run, again followed by a 2-point conversion pass from Webster to Stanford. With a 16-0 lead relying on the rush game, the passing game opened for the Dragons. Siren returned within the 5-yard line on its next second-quarter scoring drive, but this one was concluded with a 2-yard touchdown pass from Webster to Stanford. The 2-point conversion failed but the Dragons held a 22-0 lead and still had first-half points to score.

On the last timed play of the half, Webster found Stanford for a 24-yard touchdown pass that was followed by a 2-point conversion pass form Webster to Brady Kosloski, giving the Dragons a 30-0 lead entering halftime. Prairie Farm missed another chance to put points on the board with a potential touchdown pass that was stopped by Stanford, who forced a fumble recovered by Siren. “It was two plays away from being a very close game at the half,” Karsten said. However, the score was lopsided in favor of Siren and that continued in the second half. Fischer made a 2-yard run for the first of his two third-quarter touchdowns and ran in the 2-point conversion to put the Dragons up 38-0. He followed with a 61-yard touchdown run that closed the game’s scoring. Through two games, Fischer has totaled 443 rushing yards and nine

touchdowns. That’s a solid start which he’ll need to maintain in order to top Siren’s most-recent standout season by a running back. “Brady Mangen averaged 210 yards per game four years ago, so (Fischer) has his work cut out for him to get to (Mangen’s mark) of 2,189 rushing yards.” Webster finished 13-for-18 passing for 201 yards; Stanford grabbed nine of those completions for 171 yards. Gavyn Anton led the defense with 18 tackles; Fischer had 16; Gage Holmes and Stanford had nine each while Mo Richter had an interception. “It was a great battle between two top10 ranked teams in the state and that happens again this week,” Karsten said. Siren plays at Northwood-Solon Springs this Friday and seeks a long-awaited win. “It should be a great challenge for us,” Karsten said. “My seniors have never defeated them.”

OBITUARIES

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Judy Rundblade Judy was born July 31, 1940 to Wally and June Swanson Hederman. Judy lived in Chicago until the age of five, when she moved to Luck with her mother and three brothers. In February 1950, Judy gained a n new father and moved to L Lewis with her family. Judy was baptized and confirmed w at a the Lewis Methodist C Church. She attended Lewis g grade school. And while ttrying to outdo her brothe ers, she became quite the a athlete, learning at a very y young age how to manage p people. Judy went to Frederic H High School, graduating in 1959. She then moved to the city where she worked at Walgreens. Judy married her high school sweetheart, Raymond “Bud” Rundblade on February 20, 1960, after he was discharged from the U.S. Army. While raising their family, Bud and Judy lived in several places in the Grantsburg area, the last being the Trade Lake Camp on Highway 87. Here, she ran the game farm, raised, trained and raced homing pigeons, and was the Assistant Camp Director and cook during the summer months. She loved working with the residents and considered them her family. In the winter she ran a day care in Frederic. She could say she had a hand in raising quite a few local kids. After losing Bud to lung disease in 1990, Judy moved to the family home on Grimh’s Lake near Frederic. She loved the lake and took so much pride in hosting all the family gatherings. She then started working for Dr’s. Vincent and Harlander as a dental assistant, a job she loved very much. She retired in 2006. After retirement, Judy spent winters in Arizona and traveling with her friend and companion, Dale Nelson, in the motorhome. She moved to Golden Oaks in Frederic in 2015, and to Traditions of Frederic in July of 2019 until her passing. Judy wore many hats in her lifetime, most of which involved service to others. She was a second mother to all of the rest of her siblings, as well as raising her own three children. She was an aide at Shady Knoll in Grantsburg, Stokely worker, Head Start helper, Sunday school teacher, store clerk at Gideon’s in Falun, Cushing Corner Store, and Sorenson’s Store on 87 in rural Grantsburg. Judy was a member of the Grantsburg American Legion Axillary and marched in many parades as a flag bearer. She was an avid fan of her children’s sporting events and was not afraid to tell the ref when his call was wrong. She was especially proud of her children. The boys for their military service and thoughtfulness, and to Pam for always, always being there for her. She spent many hours catering (and laughing) with Dorothy Meyer and her cousin Carol Bowman, cooking meals at the Grantsburg Legion, and baking for the United Methodist Church, where she was a member for many years. Her cookie trays were the hit of all the Family Christmases. Judy loved people and it showed in the care and concern she had for others.

Wisconsin bill would set age at 21 to buy tobacco, nicotine TODD RICHMOND ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADISON—A bipartisan group of Wisconsin lawmakers wants to raise the minimum age for buying tobacco and nicotine products, including vaping products, saying it’s currently too easy for young high school students to get them and that the products are contributing to a public health crisis. The group led by Republican state Sen. Howard Marklein introduced a bill that would bump the minimum age for buying products containing nicotine and tobacco from 18 to 21. The proposal also would prohibit anyone from selling or providing vaping paraphernalia, such as vape pens, to anyone under 21. E-cigarettes have been gaining in popularity among Wisconsin high school students despite concerns about damage the chemicals in the devices may cause to the heart and lungs. According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, e-cigarette use has increased 154% between 2014 and 2018. As of last year one out of every five students were using them, according to the department. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that 193 people in 22 states had contracted severe respiratory illnesses after vaping, including an Illinois patient who died. However, they cautioned that a direct link hadn’t been made and that the cases were still being investigated. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have already passes similar bills raising the minimum age for purchasing tobacco, nicotine and vaping products to 21, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. A host of organizations, including the American Heart Association, the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators, the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Public Health Association, have come out in support of the Wisconsin bill, according to state Ethics Commission records. No groups have registered in opposition. “The American Heart Association and other health groups applaud the bill, which would help prevent young people from starting down a path that leads to addiction, chronic diseases and premature death,” the group said in a news release. “By delaying the tobacco sales age to 21, we can reduce the number of teenagers becoming lifelong smokers who will years of addiction and an increased risk of heart disease and cancer.” E-cigarette manufacturing giant Juul Labs issued a statement saying the company supports raising the purchasing age for all tobacco products, including vaping products, to 21. “We cannot fulfill our goal to provide the world’s one billion adult smokers with a true alternative to combustible cigarettes, the number one cause of preventable death in this country, if youth-use continues unabated,” the statement said. “Tobacco 21 laws fight one of the largest contributors to this problem — sharing by legal-age peers — and they have been shown to dramatically reduce youth-use rates.” The bill’s prospects are unclear. Aides for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald didn’t immediately respond to emails inquiring about the measure’s chances. Republicans included language in the current state budget that imposes a 5-cent per milliliter sales tax on vaping fluid. That tax goes into effect Oct. 1. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers had proposed a tax of 71% of the wholesale price for vaping fluid and devices, the same rate that the state applies to non-cigarette tobacco products, but Republicans rejected it in favor of the milliliter sales tax. The tax is expected to generate about $5.5 million over two years, or about $23.7 million less than Evers’ proposed plan would, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau.

THC found in Wisconsin vaping cases that led to illnesses MILWAUKEE—Nearly nine out of 10 cases where vaping led to people developing a severe lung disease in Wisconsin involved the use of THC products, such as waxes or oils, Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services said Thursday. Health officials said that 89% of the 27 people they interviewed who became sick reported using e-cigarettes or other vaping devices to inhale THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. “Vaping cartridges containing THC may include chemicals or additives that are unknown, unregulated, and unsafe,” Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm said in a statement. “We strongly urge people not to vape.” Health officials said despite the finding they’re still investigating all possible causes for why people became ill with “severe chemical pneumonitis, or chemical pneumonia.” Officials say it’s an inflammation of the lungs due to inhaling irritants. Health officials say they’re also working with the FDA to determine the contents of used vaping products. No deaths have been reported in Wisconsin but Illinois reported the first death in the country related to vaping last week. Wisconsin health officials called the investigation “complex and ongoing” and said investigators “are working to gather information about the products used, collect products for testing, and investigate new cases.” There have been nearly 200 illnesses related to vaping in at least 22 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Wisconsin health officials said they’re still interviewing new patients as part of the investigation. The department said there are currently 32 cases, with 11 patients who need further investigation to determine the cause of their illness. The 32 cases include confirmed and probable cases, the health department said. The patients who became ill all reported vaping in the weeks and months prior. Symptoms from the disease include shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, coughing, and weight loss.

Wisconsin officials say gray wolf population seems stable MADISON— The gray wolf population in Wisconsin may have stabilized after nearing extinction decades ago, state wildlife officials said. The population ranges from 914 to 978 wolves, according to a count by the state Department of Natural Resources taken from April 2018 to April 2019. That is a 1% increase from the last count, the agency said. “The last three winter track surveys suggested fairly similar numbers of wolves and that follows really two decades of sustained population growth,” Scott Walter, DNR large carnivore specialist, told Wisconsin Public Radio for a story published Thursday. “It looks like numbers are leveling off.” There were once about 5,000 wolves in Wisconsin, but hunting nearly brought the population to extinction. In 1980, the state had 25 wolves, according to the DNR. The animal was

placed back on the endangered species list after a federal judge’s ruling in 2014. Walter said the state conducts wolf monitoring to provide information to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which tracks the national population. The Interior Department launched an effort to delist the species in March. Some scientists argue the state hasn’t been fully transparent and complain that Wisconsin hasn’t allowed independent verification of its wolf count since 2012. “I don’t think that the information coming out of the state should be used by the federal government in its decisions on gray wolves under the Endangered Species Act,” said Adrian Treves, professor of environmental studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But the DNR stands by the count.

“These are minimum counts. They are fairly intensely done by the Wisconsin DNR. They are a reliable indicator of the growth of the population that’s probably a little bit less than what the actual population is,” said Adrian Wydeven, a former DNR wildlife biologist. “There are also efforts by the DNR to develop new methods for monitoring the population.” Meanwhile, the Humane Society of the United States is concerned that the state could allow the reintroduction of wolf hunting. “Time and again, state wildlife agencies have ignored the best available science and shown a propensity to lean (toward) the interest of trophy hunters and trappers and not the wishes of the majority public,” the group’s state director Megan Nicholson wrote in an email.

DNR board moves toward shortening grouse season MADISON— The state Department of Natural Resources board is moving toward shortening Wisconsin’s ruffed grouse season as the population dwindles. The board voted unanimously Tuesday to allow the department to craft an emergency rule that would close the season across the northwestern two-thirds of the state on Jan. 5. The season currently runs from mid-September through Jan. 31 in that

portion of the state. The DNR is concerned that the ruffed grouse population is declining. Drumming activity dropped 34% from 2017 to 2018. Hunters took only 173,347 birds last year, the lowest total in 35 years of hunter surveys. The reason for the decline is unknown. DNR spokeswoman Sarah Hoye says the department expects to present the emergency rule to the board at its Sept. 24-25 meetings in Mishicot.

God’s precious treasure

Pastor Dale Van Deusen Trade River Evangelical Free Church

Have you been to any garage sales or auctions lately? Maybe you have watched one of these tv shows: Antiques Roadshow, Pawn Stars, American Pickers, or Gallery 63 Auction Kings. Here’s why we like these shows: we see that the value of something is determined by what someone is willing to pay for it. Like a man who bought a painting at a garage sale for four-and-a-half. An appraiser said at a good art auction that painting would be worth between four and six thousand dollars! Wow! One person placed

little value on it, while to others, it had great worth. Move that over to the human realm. What is the value of a human being? Human life has little value to some people, like mass murderers. How much does a bullet cost? But what is the value of a human being to God? What price tag does God place on you? Each and every human being is a masterpiece of God. So how precious is the life of even a sinful human being to God? Speaking to Christians, Paul wrote: “You are not your own; you were bought at a

price.” At what price was the Christian bought? Peter writes: “We were redeemed not with perishable things like silver or gold but with the precious blood of Christ.” God places tremendous value on each and every person, no matter our age or our abilities or anything else. So how do you feel about yourself or others? Have you ever felt you or others were worthless? Jesus laid down His life for us. One man’s trash is God’s treasure!

No more blacktop for west Madison Avenue JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––Madison Avenue in downtown Grantsburg is mostly just a dirt road today. Crews from A-1 Excavating have removed all blacktop from the west end of Madison Avenue after removing the curb, gutter and sidewalk from the east end. They made their way west on what most people refer to as Main Street. Heavy machine operators took their time while removing large chunks of sidewalk, along with long pieces of the curb. Then the chunks of black top were loaded into a dump truck and then taken away, presumably to be turned into loose gravel. People stood on rooftops and watched from their windows in amazement of the process. Most businesses on Madison Avenue can still be accessed through their back door.

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Removing the blacktop started early in the morning and pieces of road, sidewalk and gutter were taken off site the entire day.

Most of the pieces of blacktop needed to be broken down into smaller pieces to be transferred into a never ending line of dumptrucks.

GRANTSBURG VOLLEYBALL Head Coach: Deb Allaman-Johnson Last year’s record/highlights: 31 wins, 6 losses. Conference record 11-1. Conference, regional, sectional champs. Lost state semi-final to Lake Country Lutheran. Roster: Seniors–Ellie Duncan, Raisa Jensen, Faith Feidler, Olivia Ohnstad, Brooke Quimby, Emma Quimby. Juniors–Allison Peterson, Jadyn Watt. Sophomores–Hanne Johnson, Sadye Bunting, Tiffany Gronski. Coach Comments: Q. What are the goals for this year’s team? What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses on your team? A. We lost eight amazing seniors to graduation. They left their mark on our program and we have many eager young players. If we stay healthy, we will be competitive. Q. List the returning letter winners and include information on statistics and any post season accolades. Who are your potential starters or leaders on the team? A. Returning first team all conference and honorable mention all state Olivia Ohnstad - senior. Returning honorable mention all conference Hanne Johnson - sophomore. All State softball and hockey player Emma Quimby is back after missing her junior season with hip surgery. Senior leaders Brooke Quimby, Ellie Duncan, and Raisa Jensen return. Juniors Jadyn Watt and Alli Peterson look strong. Many holes to fill this season, so we will see who steps up. Q. Who are the favorites in the conference and how does your team compare? A. At the risk of saying the same thing over and over on perennial repeat, the West Lakeland Conference is STRONG. It is VERY difficult to win this conference and there are many tough teams. SCF, Unity, and Webster return most of their roster and are loaded with gifted athletes and really good coaching. Frederic has been building back up starting with a solid youth program, and Siren and Luck looked very solid in summer league. Every match is a battle and we respect all.

What are the goals for this year’s team? What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses on your team? A. With having such an inexperienced team, our first goal is to improve each week as we gain experience. Secondly, as always, we want to compete for the conference championship and make a run in the playoffs. Strength of our team should be our offensive line. We have decent depth there and five kids are returning with lots of varsity experience. Weakness will be depth and experience at the skill positions as we just don’t have the number of kids out there as we did in years past and we graduated a talented group of seniors last year. Q. List the returning letter winners and include information on statistics and any post season accolades. Who are your potential starters or leaders on the team? A. Reed Arnold, Matt Kotke, Jared VanWatermuelen, Ike Lee, Austin Louis, Sterling McKinley, Levi Miller, Sam Turenne, Ben Berglund, Phil Hein, Garrett Johnson, Isaac Quimby, Phil Hein, Austin Louis and Levi Miller all 2nd Team All Conference.
