Ribbon cutting ceremony for new solar system KAYLA CASEY NEWS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The Humane Society of Burnett County (HSBC) is now the proud owner of the largest solar array in Burnett County. Sunday afternoon, HSBC held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the solar system along with a volunteer reception to thank the volunteers.

Sunday afternoon, Peggy Tolbert, HSBC treasurer, started the ribbon cutting ceremony by thanking everyone involved in helping make the dream of solar panels come true. She also thanked all of the volunteers that donate their time to HSBC and help to keep it up and running as smoothly as it does.

After Tolbert thanked everybody, Sam Dunaiski with Renew Wisconsin, Wisconsin State Representative of District 73, Nick Mulroy and Tim Dilley with Carlson Electric took some time to speak with the crowd about the Solar for Good program, the benefits of solar energy and how much energy SEE HSBC, PAGE 2

GRANTSBURG––Officials of Grantsburg School District and law enforcement investigated a potential threat to the Grantsburg High School last week. This came after a number of online posts began being shared with information about a potential shooting at the school. Grantsburg Superintendent Josh Watt told the Sentinel false claims were being made on Facebook Thursday evening. The claims came from an individual not affiliated with the school and not a current student at Grantsburg High School. Watt explained he has heard several rumors and an abundance of speculation around the threat. “There was no hitlist as some have said. Nothing like that,” Watt explained. “But with these situations, you have to look into things and investigate them thoroughly.” Watt did ask police to be available if needed but there was no police officer in the school on guard the entire day. Watt said it was to ensure the safety of the students. He added, “Thankfully, we took it seriously and made sure there was no threat,” Watt said. He added he was ready for Monday to be a regular school day.

Fifth OWI in July, sixth in September for Danbury woman JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

A Danbury woman was arrested twice for operating while intoxicated over the last few months. She has also been charged with felony attempt to flee or elude an officer and felony bail jumping. Antoinette J. Bearhart, 31, Danbury, was arrested for fifth offense operating while

intoxicated in July after officers found her asleep at the wheel in July. Less than three months later, Bearhart was arrested for a sixth OWI after allegedly being involved in a hit and run incident in Pine County, Minn. According to the criminal complaint on July 27, authorities were dispatched to Tower Road near Lake 26 Road in the Town of Swiss after receiving

reports of a driver “passed out in the middle of the road.” Officers arrived on the scene about a halfmile south of the intersection and saw a female driver allegedly sleeping in the front seat with the Bearhart car running.

They could smell intoxicating beverages as they approached the vehicle. The vehicle was registered to Bearhart. After authorities woke her up they allegedly saw a can of sparkling margarita, an alcoholic drink, in the center console. The can was open and half full. As they began to ask Bearhart questions officers noted her speech was slurred and her

eyes were glassy and bloodshot. She continued to have difficulties with balance during the field sobriety tests. Bearhart was arrested shortly after the tests and her breath samples allegedly came back at .17, double the legal limit. Online court records show she has been in custody of the Burnett County Sheriff’s SEE BEARHART, PAGE 23

WDNR wardens remind Burnett County of new baiting/feeding ban DUSTIN GABRIELSON & CHRISTOPHER SPAIGHT WDRN WARDENS BASED IN WEBSTER & GRANTSBURG

ANGELA COEN | CANDID KIDDOS

Giant pumpkin winners from last weekend at Grantoberfest Biggest pumpkin winners: Nicole Habijan 212#, Eli Zeller 162#, Noelle Habijan 140#, Aiden Lake 136#, Travis Gasper 101#. Largest watermelon: Lee Roberts 46#. Prettiest pumpkin: Gabrielle Crandall. Most creative pumpkin: Samantha Radke.

Preparations are underway by hunters and wildlife observers as all look forward to fall and winter outdoor activities in Burnett County, as well as other northwest counties. We want you to know a new baiting and feeding ban in effect for 4 northwest Wisconsin counties: Burnett, Barron, Washburn and Polk. The ban on deer baiting and feeding was implemented on as a tool to limit the spread of the fatal and highly contagious deer Gabrielson disease, known as chronic wasting disease (CWD). Bans on baiting and feeding are established within a geographic range of any confirmed CWD case. In order to protect the state’s natural resources – in this case, our white-tail deer population – it is important to know and to follow the baiting and feeding bans in our county. Baiting and feeding Spaight encourages deer to congregate, and have direct contact, thereby increasing the chances of spreading this fatal disease within the herd. The WDNR goal is for the public to know and SEE BANS, PAGE 7

HSBC: $8,112 donated to the Humane Society of Burnett County CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

the HSBC will be saving having their new solar array. The Solar for Good program from RENEW Wisconsin grants nonprofits money to go towards solar panel donations through the Couillard Solar Foundation. They granted the HSBC with $8,112 to go towards their solar development project. Carlson Electric was the company responsible for the new solar development project at the HSBC. Dilley explained that the new solar array is estimated to offset at least 50 percent of future electric bills for the HSBC, leaving them some extra money to spend on their furry inhabitants. As the presentation is happening, one of the cats housed at the HSBC kept trying to steal the show. Jack, the nineyear-old black cat would jump around on the cat tree by the window and paw at the glass, trying to get everybody’s attention. When nobody jumped at his command, he proceeded to lay on the cat tree and watch everybody from above. After the presentation, Dunaiski handed the grant check for $8,112 from the Solar for Good program to Tolbert and they posed together with some of the HSBC volunteers. Refreshments, cake, ice cream and snacks were provided after the ceremony as well as tours of the building and the solar array. The soggy weather did KAYLA CASEY | SENTINEL not keep the community from taking Dunaiski took the time to speak a little a peak at the new solar panels set-up about RENEW Wisconsin and the Solar for outside. Good program with the HSBC.

‘Ramblin’ Man’ stuck in the past

wise man once said, “I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I’m lucky if I can find half an hour a week in which to get funky.”’ That man’s name is Homer J. Simpson, a personal hero of mine (and yes, if I ever have a son I will name him Bart, no matter what my mother says). I believe Homer was channeling Bob Seger when he said that because Seger has been writing about living in the past his entire career. There is a whiteboard behind my desk where I attempt to plan out the week’s paper. The largest section is dedicated to “the news” and is broken down into a couple of different categories. Then there is a pretty big space for Sports and the categories get smaller as I Sentinel move to the left. There’s a space for upcoming Editor meetings and photo opportunities Jonathan Richie I need to attend. Those are the main categories, then there is the tiny box in the top center on the board that is titled “Thoughts of a fat guy.” It’s for all of my column ideas. It’s a perfect title and it fits perfectly in that spot right over there under my photo. But other people don’t think it’s “appropriate in a professional work setting.” I thought it was best to publish this column now before another one of my rock ‘n’ roll heroes dies of old age – RIP Eddie Money and Ric Ocasek. I may have written this column a year ago, but I have had this theory for almost my entire life. Every song Bob Seger has written, including with the Silver Bullet Band, since the time he was 19 to when he released his last album in 2017 at the age of 72 is about wanting to be 18 again. “Main Street,” “Old Time Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and “Ramblin’ Man” – all classic songs by Seger and all go back to when he was a free-living youngster in the late 1960s. Sounds fun to me. Those songs along with all of his songs have similar messages – I used to be young and when I was young this is what I would do. He’s a kind of king of reminiscing, kind of like Ringo Starr. Starr will put a new album out every couple of years and there will be one or two songs about peace and then everything else is about growing up in Liverpool. It is nice that Seger hasn’t gone down the path of some of his contemporaries with plastic surgery to truly be living in the past. I won’t name any names but you know who I’m talking about. Some 70-year-old guy shows up on TV with the face of a 50-year-old woman. I guess what I’m trying to say here, is keep your own face no matter how much money you have. Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. See ya next week.

Islands in the stream

he pace of change in our society never ceases to amaze me. Driven by technologies that seem to accelerate at an exponential rate, items that seem to be universally understood by a person like me, born in the second half of the last century, now require lengthy explanations. Occasionally these items come to the surface and I am struck by change that has occurred in my lifetime. One of these moments occurred recently during a visit by the grandchildren. We were looking to find something to watch on television and I was scrolling through the channel guide. There were programs scheduled to run in From the Publisher’s the coming hour that caught the eye of my 11 year old granddaughter. We had Desk to wait to watch them, something she was unaccustomed to doing. Tom Stangl In her household, everything is d Th on d demand. Through the streaming services offered by Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, nearly everything my granddaughter watched could be viewed as quickly as the internet could buffer it to their device. Waiting was something she wasn’t accustomed to doing. While watching a program with commercials, (something else that is a bit foreign to her) there was an ad for an upcoming Disney movie that had yet to be released. “Let’s go see that movie tonight, papa,” she said. “It’s not out yet,” I replied, explaining the concept of hype — get you excited about a movie, so you go to the theater. When you see that the movie you want to see isn’t showing, you go to another movie instead because, well, you’re there already and want to see a movie. Yes, this is a shallow and calculated strategy. Almost as shallow as making parents the bad guys when they explain that the movie you want to see won’t be

out for two months. After the weekend, I pondered how many incarnations of the entertainment cycle I have lived through. It was a rather depressing exercise. Back in the day, my parents had a black and white television. We received three broadcast channels and had to manually change the channel. In fact, my siblings and I acted as a pioneering “universal remote” when our father insisted we get up to change the channel. I imagine some of you did the same for your parents, whether you wanted to do so or not. In those days, the three networks bid for first rights to movies. As I left high school, video cassettes came into vogue and home rentals. This evolved into digital video discs (DVDs) before rental stores went out of business. No more “be kind, rewind.” My parents were able to get color and then cable television and a real remote control. I believe the first cable system they subscribed to had 13 channels. Home Box Office (HBO) got the first “broadcast” rights to movies. In my lifetime I had satellite television – first a 10 foot “C” band dish and now the smaller dishes used by DISH network and DirecTV. As internet speeds improved, on demand services encouraged many to “cut the cord” from cable and satellite TV. I can only imagine what’s next as virtual reality becomes more common. How long before the movies are holographic projections in your living room? One thing is bound to be constant. No matter how many channels you have, there still won’t be anything worth watching. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

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.

OPINION

OCTOBER 2, 2019

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

Drug crimes most common offenses among those seeking pardon Those seeking a pardon from Gov. Tony Evers were more likely to have a drug conviction than any other offense, a WisPolitics.com review shows. All told, the review turned up 27 applicants who had felony drug convictions on their records — by far the most common crime committed by those who applied for pardons during the first two months of the program. For 24 of those applicants, online court records listed felony charges either for possession with intent or manufacturing with intent, while two had convictions for drug possession. In a third case, a woman pleaded guilty to delivering cocaine in 1994 and then pleaded guilty three years later to possession of THC, a second offense. Longtime defense attorney Dean Strang said the drug cases reflect the “unwise and ultimately destructive drug policy” implemented in Wisconsin and nationally in the early 1980s.

“We have over-prosecuted and over-incarcerated people with drug problems and fairly minor drug offense in the scheme of things,” Strang said. Evers’ decision to bring back the Pardon Advisory Board comes amid a significant shift both in Wisconsin and the country on how to approach the criminal justice system, particularly its treatment of drug offenses. Evers’ predecessor, Gov. Scott Walker, didn’t issue any pardons during his eight years in office, allowing the Pardon Advisory Board to go dormant. He argued that pardons undermined the decisions of judges and juries. Meanwhile, a bipartisan effort in the Legislature has placed more emphasis on treatment and diversion programs rather than simply punishing drug offenders. And nationally, President Trump last year signed an overhaul of the nation’s prison sentencing laws that reduces

some mandatory minimum sentences while expanding job training and programs to reduce recidivism. That’s in sharp contrast to the approach of the “truth in sentencing” law and other tough-on-crime measures that swept through Wisconsin two decades ago. Under the executive order Evers signed in mid-June, those convicted of a felony can apply for a pardon if they completed their sentence at least five years earlier and haven’t committed any new crimes. A pardon won’t expunge the conviction, but the Evers administration describes it as a “grant of forgiveness from the Governor that can restore some rights and privileges and relieve certain legal disabilities.” Evers’ office declined to allow WisPolitics.com to review the pardon applications turned in between June 20 and Aug. 22. Instead, WisPolitics.com was provided a list of people who had

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

WILD CHOW

We can make k a difference….

In the U.S., flash floods, wildfires and hurricanes are occurring far more frequently than ever before. The past five years have been, worldwide, the hottest on record. The verdict is in: Global climate change is no hoax! Now what? We can sit on our hands, and look to big business and other countries to take action. It’s so easy to point out what someone else needs to do! Or, we ourselves can take part in delivering the solution. Yes, the fossil industry needs to change its tune, and China needs to curb its air emissions. Also important, people in affluent nations need to reduce overall consumption. This last group includes you and me. We, too, need to take a different track. Don’t let the nay-sayers fool you! The collective efforts of individuals are a powerful piece of the solution. Here are just a few things, among the many, that you and I can do to ensure a better future for future generations: • Use less fuel by driving conservatively, bundling errands into one trip, and, when the time comes, replacing that worn-out vehicle with a more fuel-efficient one. • Consume less energy at home by setting the

thermostat two degrees lower in winter, and two degrees higher in summer. By doing so, you could see a significant drop in your home energy bill! • Choose locally produced goods over ones that must be shipped long distances. The Old Dutch potato chips made in Twin Cities are just as tasty as the Frito-Lay chips made in Texas. • Encourage your Congressional representative, as well as your local councilperson, to support a resolution that calls for legislative action to address global climate change. For more information, visit the Citizens’ Climate Lobby website at https://citizensclimatelobby.org/. There are many more examples where we can chip away at global climate change by adjusting our daily habits ever so slightly, without requiring a change in lifestyle. Yet, the collective benefits can be huge, amounting to millions of tons of avoided global warming emissions every year. We all have a role in addressing global climate change- the corporations, all nations and each of us as individuals. Be part of the solution. Bruce Moore, Bayﬁeld

Advocates applaud bill to confront violence against native women Lac Du Flambeau–– Rep. Beth Meyers, Rep. Amanda Stuck, Sen. Janet Bewley, and advocates gathered on the land of the Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to release a bill that would create a statewide inter-governmental task force to address the problem of missing and murdered indigenous women. Indigenous people define the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women (often abbreviate “MMIW”) as an epidemic level of violence against native women. Native women are subjected to higher levels of violence, including trafficking, sexual assault, domestic abuse and homicide, than virtually any other group in the United

applied for pardons and their birthdates so they could be matched against online court records. In comparing the 143 applications with online records, 31 of the people listed either had no cases listed on the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access website or had no felony convictions that turned up in the search. Those records, however, aren’t complete. While counties first began using the system in 1991, they made independent decisions about uploading old cases, according to the website. The Capitol Report is written by editorial staff at WisPolitics.com, a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics, and is distributed for publication by members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

States. Perpetrators of the violence are usually non-native. Advocates say that this continuing disproportionate level of cruelty directed at native women is rooted in colonialism, sexism and racism and is a continuation of patterns of violence that have been present since European arrival. “This is an extremely important issue, as murder is the third leading cause of death for American Indian and Alaskan Native Women”, said Pennie Meyers, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault, “We fully support increasing the visibility of this devastating epidemic and urge the legislature to quickly pass this bill.”

“We are grateful to the native advocates and legislators who have brought this bill forward,” said Patti Seger, Executive Director of End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin. “The violence that native women have been subjected to since colonization is beyond inhumane. It’s high time we recognize it, understand it and end it.” The legislation introduced today would bring together tribal and state government leaders, survivors, advocates and law enforcement to examine the problem of missing and murdered indigenous women and require that group to submit a report with recommendations to the state legislature and tribal governments.

Cruel Apple Caramel Cake Being the cook in the family has the advantage of getting to choose what I feel like cooking or baking. I cook, I choose. Simple. Family members can always make requests, but I get to decide, ultimately. My philosWild Chow ophy is to Lisa Erickson eat anything and everything in moderation. I prefer healthy food choices over unhealthy ones. Eighty percent of the time I eat and make healthy things. The other twenty is for special treats. Occasionally a family member will decide they don’t want to eat any sweets and ask me not to make treats. What? Me, not make treats? My suggestion: Don’t come home on Friday (that’s when I bake treats)—go for a run instead. The house will be filled with the sweet smell of apples and caramel baking. It will be a serious lesson in self-control if you do. At least I warned them. The real issue is self-control. Just because the cake I baked is divine, you don’t have to eat the whole cake! I know it may sound like I’m being cruel, but I’m not. The thought of not making yummy treats sounds crueler. Apple Caramel Cake Caramel sauce: 1/4 cup butter or margarine 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup vanilla ice cream Cake:

2 tart apples, sliced the round way, cored 1 1/2 cups cake flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp salt 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 butter, softened 2 eggs 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/3 cup milk Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray; set aside. For the caramel sauce: Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling; remove from heat and stir in ice cream. Pour into the bottom of the prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange apple slices over the caramel sauce in a circular decorative pattern. For the cake: In large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and the salt and set aside. In another large bowl, beat the brown sugar and butter with a hand mixer at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until pale and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternating with milk, beating after each addition until batter is smooth. Spread batter over apples. Bake for 1 hour or until cake springs back in the middle. Cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around sides of pan to loosen the cake. Place the serving plate upside down over the pan and flip the cake. Remove pan. Serve cake warm with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

Candidates begin election season JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

A pair of Republicans have thrown their hat in the ring for the upcoming special election to fill Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional seat. State Senator Tom Tiffany and retired Army Captain Jason Church have both announced they will be running for Rep. Sean Duffy’s former seat. The primary will be held on Dec. 30 with the general election being on Jan. 27. Evers’ office announced this week

they may be pushing the special election back to April or May of 2020 due to a state and federal law conflict. The change could create havoc for candidates and local election clerks. There is speculation around several Democrats thinking about running for the seat, even though none of them have officially announced. Church works for U.S. Senator Ron Johnson’s office. He is from Menomonie and played football at UW-La Crosse. In 2012 he lost both of his legs after an IED explosion in Afghanistan where he was deployed

They rallied around me when I came home from Afghanistan and it would be my honor to return the favor and fight for them in the United States Congress.” He attended the methamphetamine forum held in Grantsburg in June and has made a few appearances at the Board of Supervisors meeting at the Government Center in Meenon. “Our office represents the entire state and we get calls about the opioid and meth epidemics all day long,” Church told a library full of concerned citizens in June. “The best thing you can do is use your influence and make your voice heard.” State Senator Tom Tiffany, of Hazelhurst, was the first candidate to announce running to fill Duffy’s seat. His campaign website says he has lived in the 7th district for over 30 years, it’s where he raised his three daughters with his wife, Chris. Tiffany grew up on a farm near Elmwood and graduated from UW-

River Falls. The former small business owner operated Wilderness Cruises for 20 years. He is currently serving his second term as State Senator for the 12th district. “We’re going to be really getting into some of those policy issues as we go along,” Tiffany said at a stop in Schofield. “Today I’m out introducing myself to the voters across the state.” Both c candidates p promise to sstand with P President D Donald T Trump and h his policies. Church h has said it’s iimportant tto “secure o our borders, SUBMITTED protect the most Tom Tiffany vulnerable among us, stand up for veterans and make sure Wisconsin’s economic recovery is protected from socialist interference.” Tiffany has made similar sentiments early in his campaign.

We need more ‘we’ as in ‘we the people.’ If you elect me, we the people in Wisconsin, we will be heard.”

Denn set for plea hearing, faces ďŹ ve felony charges JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Michael Denn, 57, Grantsburg, was arrested in February of 2018. He is facing five felony charges, three misdemeanor charges and a number of traffic violations stemming from a high-speed chase last year. He is scheduled to have a plea hearing for the case Oct. 8. Denn has been charged with class H felony offenses of battery to a law enforcement officer, escape, and attempting to disarm a peace officer. He is also charged with two class I felonies for possession of methamphetamine and attempting to flee or elude a trafDenn fic officer. Additionally, he has been charged with misdemeanor offenses of two counts of resisting an officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is also facing six traffic violations stemming from the incident. According to the criminal complaint, Sergeant Ryan Bybee drove past Dennâ€™s driveway on County Road M on Feb. 16, 2018 around 10:15 p.m. He knew it was Dennâ€™s driveway because of previous contacts and that Denn had a â€œdocumented criminal history relating to burglary, theft and drug trafficking.â€? At that time, Bybee noticed a suspicious van parked near the driveway, but was en route to another case in Trade Lake. Around 11:23 p.m., after clearing the scene, Bybee was patrolling north on Lakewood Drive when he saw the same van and followed it. He observed the van accelerate and began driving erratically, crossing into the oncoming traffic lane before slowing down to 10 mph, Bybee activated his emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop. The vanâ€™s registration came back to Dennâ€™s daughter. Upon approach, Bybee could not determine the number of occupants in the van due to window tinting and he requested Deputy Olson to respond to the scene for officer safety. Bybee contacted the driver, who he recognized as Michael Denn. Bybee explained to Denn that he had pulled him over for erratic driving and his rear license plate lamp was not working. Denn became very

argumentative and started yelling that nothing was wrong with his vehicle. Bybee then noticed Denn had fresh sores on his face and hands, his eyes were red and glassy with dilated pupils. Bybee asked if he had consumed any intoxicants that evening. Denn said no, but failed to answer a subsequent question on the last time he had used meth. He also refused to take a field sobriety test, began arguing with Bybee and said he was leaving. FLEE ATTEMPT Olson and police canine Tracker were attempting to do an exterior sniff of the vehicle. When Denn saw Tracker he yelled, â€œYouâ€™re not going to search my van!â€? He than ran toward it, allegedly pushed Bybee backwards as he attempted to block his path, got into the van, turned it on and quickly accelerated. Bybee went after the van, he noted that Denn was driving 55 mph in a 25 mph zone, crossing the center line, and almost crashing into the bridge between Little Trade Lake and Big Trade Lake. Eventually, Denn entered a driveway on Pickerel Point, and Bybee entered the driveway and blocked Dennâ€™s door. Bybee exited his squad car and ordered Denn to show his hands. Denn held up his hands and was holding a cell phone. Dispatch then told Bybee that Denn had called 911. When Denn failed to comply with directions to unlock his van door, Bybee used his baton to break the window on the driverâ€™s side. Denn lunged at Bybee, who deployed his taser into Dennâ€™s chest. Bybee deployed the taser a second time as Denn continued to resist, but Denn was able to remove both taser probes. Deputy Olson then opened the passenger side door and attempted to remove Denn from the vehicle, but he pulled away and appeared to be about to start the van. Believing Denn was about to drive away, Olson struck Denn once on the right forearm with his baton. At this point, Denn exited the van and Bybee used his taser to drive stun Dennâ€™s back. Denn attempted to gain control of the taser, but Bybee was able to pull it away from him. Attempting to escape by running between the van and squad car, Denn allegedly began fighting with Olson and they both went to the ground. Bybee struck Denn on his hip and buttocks with his

Former clerk pleads guilty JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

baton in an attempt to subdue him, as Denn had Olson on the ground. After a short skirmish Bybee pressed his taser into Dennâ€™s lower back and told him he would tase him if he did not comply. Denn put his arms behind his back and was placed under arrest.

THE SEARCH Two days later, a search of the van yielded a glass meth pipe with burnt residue, a metal spoon with unknown residue and various burglarious tools - including a headlamp and pry bar. During the search, Bybee noted the interior door panels and trim had been previously removed and re-attached with wood screws and duct tape. This type of tampering of interior trim and panels is consistent with vehicles used for trafficking drugs. No further contraband was found in the vehicle. Bybee monitored a phone call the next day where Denn said something about the passenger side door before the bridge. The person on the other line said, â€œYea it snowed so itâ€™s going to be a little more difficult.â€? Believing those directions corresponded with his pursuit route with Denn, Bybee and six members of the Sheriffâ€™s Department went to the bridge and searched the area using rakes for two hours that evening but were unable to locate anything. The following day, a member of the Sheriffâ€™s Auxiliary told Bybee they had found contraband near the bridge in the area they were searching. Detective Julie Mead met with the auxiliary member who found the black tape wrapped container, the size and shape of a travel toothbrush holder. Mead brought the item back to the sheriffâ€™s department. Inside was a clear glass bubble-style smoking device with white residue and a clear plastic gem-style zip locked bag containing .53 grams of a clear crystalline substance. The substance tested positive for methamphetamine/MDMA using a field test kit. If convicted on all felony counts, he faces a possible $10,000 fine and a potential three years and six months imprisonment for each class H charge and $10,000 fine and a possible six months imprisonment for each class I charge.

Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative, Marketplace Foods and the City of St. Croix Falls invite you to use the co-op’s ﬁrst electric vehicle charging station. Look for EV charging signage on the east side of the Marketplace parking lot, pictured here with Gail Bibeau, Bonita Leggitt and Kirk Anderson, City of St. Croix Falls; Julie and Don Karsky, Polk-Burnett members and St. Croix Falls residents; Scott Ostrom, James Hill, Paul Mitchell and Wendy Avery, Marketplace Foods; and Todd Schulte, Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative.

Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative announces public electric vehicle charging station in St. Croix Falls CENTURIA–– Electric vehicle (EV) drivers can now charge their cars at Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative’s charging station in St. Croix Falls, between Midwest One Bank and Marketplace Foods off Hwy. 8. The charging station is free to the public. “EVs are becoming more popular and widely available, with many manufacturers offering at least one model. Improved versions are on the horizon, and for good reason,” said Todd Schulte, member services manager, Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative. “EVs provide environmental advantages and lower operating costs that balance out the initial investment.” “We have an opportunity to help change the future of transportation by providing a charger in our service territory where our members and the public can readily access it,” said Todd Schulte, member services manager. “Offering convenient access to charging will help members transition to EVs.” Installing chargers on major highways helps alleviate range anxiety. The distance between destinations in rural areas is a common reason why some co-op members hesitate to own an EV. Polk-Burnett is collaborating with its wholesale power provider, Dairyland Power Cooperative, to ensure EV technology is not limited to more densely populated metropolitan areas.

LEVEL 2 CHARGING STATION The Level 2, 240-volt charging station provides about 20 to 25 miles of battery range for every hour the vehicle is plugged in. “We don’t expect people to fully charge their EVs at Marketplace, but they can top off their charge with enough power to get back home after a trip to the bank or grocery store,” said Schulte. ST. CROIX FALLS IS CO-OP’S FIRST PUBLIC CHARGING STATION Marketplace Foods is an ideal location for our first charging station because it’s a high-traffic commercial area on a major highway. EV drivers can conveniently charge their cars while traveling on Hwy. 8 or visiting local businesses. RESIDENTIAL EV CHARGING Polk-Burnett also offers incentives for charging EVs at home through its EnergySense rebate program, including a $350 charger rebate and a discounted off-peak electricity rate for charging during off-peak times, when demand and cost are lower. ELECTRIFYING TRANSPORTATION IMPROVES THE ENVIRONMENT Moving from gas to electricity reduces pollution, and the gap improves as the electric grid gets greener.

Out and about in the Fall Crex Meadows wildlife area in Grantsburg has a full schedule of events for the fall season this year. Kick off the season with some of the programs and events being hosted by Crex beginning in October. Every Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. beginning October 9, the Grantsburg Public Library is working together with Crex’s natural resources educator, Lauren Finch, to hold a special program for children.

Meet at the visitor’s center and carpool through the state wildlife area to look for sandhill cranes and view them flying from their feeding

grounds to their roosting grounds. Pre-registration is required for this special event. A Fall Wildlife Festival will be held at Crex Meadows on October 12 beginning at 10 a.m. There will be many fun activities to participate in for all ages. There will be crane tours, property tours, archery range, mucking, live animals and much more. Some of these events will require pre-registration, so call their visitor center for more information regarding this festival. On Thursday, October 31 from 1 -7 p.m., get in the Halloween spirit with pumpkin carving. Volunteers at this event plan to carve 100 pumpkins in preparation for Crex’s Howl-O-Ween event. Anyone who carves a pumpkin is able to take theirs home after the Howl-O-Ween

event. The pumpkins will be provided, but please bring your own blades, carving tools and any designs. This event is for all ages. The last big fall event being held by Crex Meadows is their Howl-O-Ween event being held November 1 from 5 – 8 p.m. This is a fun filled family event every year. A guided interpretive tour will be provided on paths being lit by jack-o-lanterns. Enjoy some seasonal treats while learning about wildlife through a variety of activities. It is recommended to come in your Halloween costume and to bring a flashlight. To register for any events being held at Crex Meadows, visit their website at www. crexmeadows.org/programsevents or contact Lauren Finch at 715-463-2739.

Native American quilt artist featured at quilt show Featured artist, Jami Peterson-Grittner will exhibit over 20 pieces including landscape quilts, wall hangings and quilted tapestries at the 32nd Annual Quilt Show held by the Mixed Sampler Quilt Guild Saturday and Sunday, October 12th and 13th at the Webster High School located at 7564 W. Alder St. Webster, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. both days. Admission is $5 for adults and children under 12 are free. “My early inspiration is derived from my Native American culture, my faith and nature. As a member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, I used to watch my mother mend fishing nets; observing how she repeatedly wrapped and knotted the twine around the rope fascinated me. When I attended UW-Superior, my interest in textiles peaked, and I received a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts- Fibers and a Master’s in Arts-Photography. These two passions have evolved over the years in creating art quilting where I capture faces, deer and photographs in fabric.” Peterson-Grittner has been featured in Art Quilting Studio magazine and is a noted artist at the Native American Tourism of Wisconsin Conference. She is also a shop

CENTURIA –Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative will return more than $1 million in Capital Credits this year, including $872,429 to co-op members who purchased electricity in 1996, 1997, 1999 and/or 2016, and $203,156 from our wholesale power provider, Dairyland Power Cooperative, to members who purchased power in 1991 and/or 1992. “If you were a Polk-Burnett member those years, you will get money back,” announced General Manager Steve Stroshane. “Instead of returning money to distant shareholders, Polk-Burnett returns Capital Credits to the local people we serve. Capital Credits are distributed annually and are a direct benefit of cooperative membership.” Capital credits will be distributed to 16,544 active members and 8,029 former members. The amount of each distribution is based on how much electricity was purchased by the individual member during those years. Active members will receive a credit on October electric bills. Former members will be mailed

a check of $10 or more; lesser amounts will be left to accrue for future payouts. Co-op members also have an option to donate Capital Credits to the co-op scholarship fund; if interested, please contact our billing office to set up future distributions, 800-421-0283, ext. 335. “As a member-owned, not-forprofit electric cooperative, Polk-Burnett operates at cost,” said Stroshane. “Any revenue left after annual expenses is allocated and returned to members, according to our cooperative business principles.” Polk-Burnett was established in 1938 to provide reliable electricity with efficiency and extraordinary service to families, farms and businesses in the rural areas of northwestern Wisconsin that were not served by investor-owned utilities.

FISCAL FACTS

An abundance of local governments in Wisconsin Wisconsin had the 11th-most local governments of any state in 2017, due in part to a tenfold increase in the last five decades in special districts that manage lakes, sewers, and sanitation. Like the rest of the upper Midwest, Wisconsin has an unusually high number of local governments compared to other states, recently released U.S. Census Bureau figures show. Wisconsin’s multitude of counties, municipalities, towns, school and technical college districts and special districts has longstanding roots in the state. But it also prompts the question of whether shared delivery of services across local boundaries — or even government consolidation — should be considered. Nearly two-thirds of the state’s local governments are “general purpose”: counties (72), cities and villages (601), and towns (1,251). The remainder includes 438 school and

technical college districts as well as 734 “special district governments,” which vary from the taxing district used to finance the construction of Miller Park to city electric utilities and lake districts. Wisconsin has gained almost 700 local governments since the mid-1970s. The abundance of governments has made overlapping responsibilities a longstanding concern. In the early 2000s, a major state panel now known as the “Kettl Commission” argued greater clarity and cooperation was needed at the local level. In recent years, there has been growing interest in service sharing as a means to boost efficiency without eliminating entire units of government.

For the month of October, artZ Gallery proudly presents four regional artists members of artZ Gallery in Amery. Now, nine years later, that gallery is still going strong. Earl has slowed down with his photography over the years as he became busy with framing and managing the gallery along with volunteer work for various arts and conservation organizations. “This past summer, I started the photography thing up again. I’m a little slower now. I don‘t go as far or carry as much equipment, but I still enjoy getting out there in the early morning hours to enjoy the outdoors.” ducknest1@gmail.com.

DIANE KEELER Diane has been a figurative sculptor for almost 30 years, but she has always dabbled in jewelry design. She began sculpting with polymer clay, so it was an easy transition to metal clay. She works in silver, bronze and copper metal clays. She etches, sculpts and makes her own stamps to create unique designs. “I have recently started adding glass enamel to my silver, and I’m very excited where this will lead. I feel like I’m just scratching the surface with my jewelry.” Diane also loves to work with leather and has created one-of-a-kind leather wallets, billfolds and passport holders. www.dianekeeler.com.

EARL DUCKETT “I have been taking nature photographs since I was in my mid-forties. I have always enjoyed getting out in the wild places at first light. Being in a place and eagerly waiting for the world to wake up around me. In my mind, there is nothing better than spending these first few hours of the day outside.” Earl traveled around for over 20 years doing art shows. He calls those the good old days. “It was fun, and I met a ton of great artists trying to do the same thing.” In 2010, Earl was one of the founding

NAOMI TIRY SALGADO Naomi paints with a combination of palette knives and brushes to create many different textures. She uses these textures to give a sculptural dimension and movement to the piece. Also, the thick texture let’s everybody know that it’s an original! One of Naomi’s current artistic goals is to suggest a scene rather than describe it. She tries to make paintings that seem just a bit hazy or out of focus in some areas, as if the scene was merely glanced at or dreamed about. In doing this, she hopes that the viewer’s eye and imagination will fill in the details to make the scene come to life in their own mind’s eye. “Paintings are like children. As a blank canvas with an idea, the

unborn painting has so much potential. It could go in any direction and become anything. As soon as paint starts hitting the canvas it starts down a path and develops its own personality. Some of my paintings are calm and subdued, while others are wild and rebellious. As an artist/parent, my job is to guide that personality into becoming the best version of itself.” www.tirysalgado.com.

PAULY CUDD Pauly first experienced glassblowing as a studentathlete at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls in the early 1970’s. Shortly after, he started a sandblasting and sign-making business. The business featured sandblasted redwood signs, monuments, and etched windows and mirrors. “The intricate processes in creating these designs gave me a newfound fascination with the influence silica sand had over me; I just knew I would return to the “glory hole” someday. Glassblowing has now become my life’s passion. I opened my own studio in River Falls in 2009. I am attracted to the mystical qualities of fluid glass. It is truly challenging to manipulate and persuade a media that you can’t touch with your hands. Some of my favorite work has copper foil imbedded into the glass. The chemical reaction of hot glass and foil creates an amazing color palate. Another technique I love is adding baking soda to the glass, which makes for a “bubblicious” creation.“ Pauly’s most recent work includes hanging pendant lights and “Memories” paperweights, ornaments and other glass pieces into which the cremains of a loved one or pet are imbedded into what becomes an everlasting memorial. www.glassbypauly.com. artZ Gallery is an artist-owned and operated gallery with changing monthly exhibits featuring member and guest artists. artZ Gallery is located at 208 Keller Ave., Amery, WI.

Local celebrity featured at Tourism Coalition fall event HARRIET RICE

Chef, author and columnist Peter H. Kwong headlines the Burnett County Tourism Coalition’s “Fall Gathering” set for Tuesday, Oct. 29, 5 to 9 p.m. at the St. Croix Casino Event Center in Danbury. “This year’s theme is ‘Harvest,’” says BCTC President Chuck Anderson. “And we are certainly grateful for the bounty of visitors and revenue during the past year. We invite Burnett County business owners and the public to join us for an evening of great food, humor, music and prizes.” The evening includes the BCTC annual board of directors’ report, an update from Travel Wisconsin and

nominations for new board members. “We are looking for individuals who will become passionate about the BCTC mission of ‘Growing Tourism in Burnett County’ and Emily Gall who are Marketing Consultant willing to share their time and talents to help stage fundraising events, as well as

‘We are looking for individuals who will become passionate about the BCTC mission of ‘Growing Tourism in Burnett County.’’

provide input and fresh ideas about promoting Burnett County as a yearround destination,” says marketing consultant Emily Gall. Kwong won’t be demonstrating his culinary prowess, though that is legendary. However, he will share his own unique perspective about what it means to live in the Wisconsin north woods, having moved here from Milwaukee four years ago. How does that relate to tourism? In a July 3 column published in the Inter-County Leader, Kwong waxed poetic about the Polk County Tourism Information Center and the dedication of its staff. He wrote about being “flabbergasted about how tourism matters to Wisconsin.” His insights are both humorous and instructive.

In addition to Kwong, the ticket price of $45 per person includes a four-course buffet dinner, musical entertainment by the Indianhead Barbershop Quartet, “Chariot,” and entry into a drawing for $1,000 cash. On-site, there will be opportunities to win gift baskets from local businesses and other prizes. The event is open to the public. Tickets are available at the following locations: The Lodge at Crooked Lake Tourism Office, Siren; The 10th Hole and the Gandy Dancer Saloon, Danbury; and North of Eight Design and Marketing located at the Outpost Mall on St. Hwys 35/70.

The candidates now are President Barb Geske, Vice President Ed Smythe, Secretary Marge Traun, Treasurer Gerry Vogel and Diane Norman. The decorating committee will decorate Monday, Oct. 14. Sue Christensen was the winner of the dollar bingo game. She got $25. We would like to express our sympathy to Dr. Norman and Nancy Jensen on the death of their son, Eric. Funeral arrangements will be in Madison. Norm was a classmate of mine. He was recently named to the Honor Wall at Siren school. The leaves have not changed color much and they are already starting to fall. I don’t think we will get to see much color this fall. Our 500 winners were Roger Greely, John LaFond, Sue Newberger. Candace Doriott got the 9 bid. Spade winners were Steve Anderson, Mary Sicard and Judy Leighow. Carl Link and Tony Rutter shared the 9 bid. Judy Leighow is from Texas and is visiting her sister, Barb Geske.

Bruises, emotional trauma and death COMMUNITY REFERRAL AGENCY

Bruises, emotional trauma and sometimes death... these are the stark realities of domestic violence. Although the list rarely ends there, many survivors also experience intimidation, threats, sexual assault and other abusive behavior when involved in a domestic abuse relationship. Bruises heal, but the emotional impact may take many years to heal. Domestic violence can affect anyone regardless of race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious affiliation, education or income level. A victim may only reach out for help once. If someone you know says that they are being abused, believe them and offer support. Leaving a domestic abuse relationship is the most dangerous time for the victim. Often the abuser will use physical force to stop their partner from leaving which can result in extreme physical abuse or death. The Community Referral Agency in 2018, served 72 adults and 77 children. Community Referral Agency advocates helped to prepare 417 safety plans, provided 5,819 bed nights in the shelter to survivors and their children, and provided 17,457 meals to residents and their families in the shelter. As a community, we need to become aware, more knowledgeable and willing to step up to help someone that may be embarrassed to admit what is really going on behind closed doors. If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse of any kind, in a relationship, call Community Referral Agency at 715-825-4414, the Crisis line at 800-261-7233, or the Crisis Text Line at 715-559-3359. Community Referral Agency is a 24hour, temporary shelter for survivors and their children. Their advocates can also help refer you to programs that will assist you where needed, as well as accompany you to various court appointments. Remember that if you have an emergency to always call 911. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org.

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

Thanks to everyone who came out on a soggy Sunday to help HSBC celebrate their solar array and volunteers! The solar array located behind the shelter building helps offset power costs, which keeps more funds available for animal needs. And volunteers? n Volunteers are the lifeblood V of o non-profit organizations l like HSBC and work tirel lessly to assist the staff in a animal care and socializat tion as well as organizing a staffing special events. and I fact, HSBC could use In e even more volunteers! Cont tact the shelter to see how MJ you can help! Sometimes, the profile pictures here on the Weekly Wag make it challenging to tell adoptable pets apart. This week meet two feline friends who look similar but have very different stories and personalities. Four-year-old MJ was surrendered to HSBC due to a relocation situation. She has had experience as an indoor/outdoor cat, and her former family reported she is an excellent mouser. MJ is a tan and black shorthaired tabby with yellow eyes and weighs a bit over ten pounds. She is a friendly, affectionate kitty who enjoys attention with people of all ages. Her former family has sponsored MJ’s adoption fees and hopes she will find a loving family soon. Five-year-old Ga-zhii is also a surrender, has yellow eyes, and is a tan and black tabby shorthair. However, Ga-zhii has more Ga-zhii of a marbled pattern to her fur than stripes, and she’s a bit heavier at 11 pounds. She is also shier than MJ and tends to hide from new people and too much activity. Ga-zhii has recently been working on being more social while helping the office staff with their chores. She loves to be brushed and enjoys chasing bugs and hanging out on laps. Less than a month until the second annual Dancing for the Dogs (and Cats)! In addition to a meal of harvest stew, auctions, and games of chance, this year’s entertainment features the music of local favorites, the Highview Bluegrass Band.

AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, I have never really had a good place to bow hunt for whitetail deer and that is pretty crazy when you think of what I do for a living. Juneau county’s, Meadow Valley Wildlife Area is a total adventure as the area has hundreds of square miles of land open to the public. The problem is there is no baiting, no agriculture and lots of wolves. Long story short, you do not see many deer when bow hunting. One year ago, a reader of this column told me that I needed to check out the Tiffany State Wildlife Area which is located in Buffalo and Pepin Counties and is a vast river bottom with the Chippewa River flowing through it. Last fall I hunted this beautiful piece of paradise and traveled by canoe and on foot wearing hip boots. Folks I have found my bow hunting home, this week I made my first trip of the season. Sunday, September 22 High 76, low 52 Today would be the 18th out of the last 19 days that I sat in a tree, the other 17 were while bear hunting. Today I traveled by canoe and looked for a campsite that would be private and in deer country. I wanted this campsite to be a place that I would think about on the off season as another one of my homes away from home. About a mile away from where I had some very memorable bow hunts last fall, I found just what I was looking for. The place I chose to make my camp cannot be reached by boat and is not visible except from the air. As is almost always the case, I was fighting daylight and so after building a quick camp I paddled to where I hunted last year, put out three trail cameras and hung a portable bow stand. I had purchased an antlerless tag and in reality, wanted to harvest a doe more than I did a buck as I plan on coming back for the rut and am super excited about that trip. I don’t know if I have ever written this, but I am not the best at bow hunting, but I still love the sport. The area that I am hunting is made up of water, marsh

and tag alders. The absolute farthest that I can see is 40-yards and in most cases I hear the deer walking in the water before I see them. That was the case today for my first deer experience and it was a beautiful doe that I did not get a shot at just like the other two that I would see before day became night. At dark I climbed out of my tree, paddled back to camp and felt great about my first hunt. Monday, September 23 High 78, low 55 I paddled in the dark to my stand this morning and paddled back to camp in the dark tonight. For myself, the adventure of traveling by canoe in hip boot only country to hunt for whitetail deer is a good feeling. I did not see a deer this morning but this afternoon I got a quick look at a buck and had two experiences with doe. As is now the norm, I heard them in the water before I saw them. In the middle of the day I went scouting and tonight back at camp I cooked my supper on a propane stove by the light of a propane light and drank a cold beer. The following morning, I saw two more doe and have come up with what I feel is a real good plan for my whitetail hunt during the rut. I like vast areas of remote public land for hunting and camping and as I wrote at the start of this column just did not have my bow hunts where I wanted them. I think I fixed that! Sunset.

The bump outs are here

Grantsburg’s Main Street. Sidewalks, curbs, gutters and now bump outs have been installed on Madison Avenue and now the road is just waiting for its fi rst layer of asphalt. The Village was awarded a Community Development Block Grant for Public Facilities (CDBGPF.) The 50/50 grant will be used to fund several projects to reinvigorate downtown Grantsburg and Madison Avenue. It is estimated to cost $760,000, with $380,000 coming from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the other half being covered by the village. After the curb and gutter was in place crews started laying the main stretch of sidewalk. They then went through and added sidewalk that goes up to buildings and businesses. The additional sidewalk was added and then painted to match the fi rst set of sidewalks. Next was the red concrete to be added to make the sidewalk more visual. Red concrete was poured and then levelled including the additional red to the bump outs. There was no work done on Monday due to the excessive amounts of rain and storms the area saw in the last few days.

Tornado causes damage as storms rip western WI EAU CLAIRE— At least one confirmed tornado touched down as severe storms ripped through western Wisconsin, damaging homes and other structures near the Chippewa-Dunn county line. The Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office says preliminary reports indicate a semi driver was injured in a crash on Highway 29 that resulted from the tornado. A mobile home overturned and an occupant was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries. Damage assessments are continuing. Emergency managers have asked po-

tential volunteers to stay away from the Town of Wheaton, citing downed power lines and debris. The National Weather Service says the tornado struck near Elk Mound shortly before 8 p.m. At least three semi-trailers overturned along Wisconsin Highway 29 northeast of Elk Mound.

Pirates start new win streak against Unity digs. Hannah Janssen led the Tigers with 15 assists; Summer Winkler had 13 kills; Serena Peck had 11 digs; Kaitlyn Lee had 13 assists and Torrance Wols had 10 digs. Grantsburg goes to Luck on Thursday, hosts Altoona on Saturday and Siren on Tuesday.

SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

BALSAM LAKE – The Grantsburg volleyball team had a few obstacles to overcome in order to start a new win streak last week. A week after having a ninematch win streak stopped by St. Croix Falls, the Pirates had challenges off the court that could have hampered a new set of consecutive wins. “After glorious summers with plenty of fresh air and sunlight, those first few weeks back to being confined in a school building all day are like a daycare with germ bombs everywhere,” Grantsburg coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “Many (players) are still sick and a few are mildly injured.” On Sept. 24, the Pirates seemingly were showing the negative effects as they prepared for their match with Unity. “We kept hitting the tape and blasting balls into the net,” Allaman-Johnson said. “I repeatedly checked the net height at different spots. It was fine, we were just off.” But, the Pirates got back on, earning a win in three sets (2519, 25-20, 25-20) over the Eagles.

STACY COY

Grantsburg’s Hanne Johnson sprawls across the ﬂoor to make a incredible dig in the Pirates’ win over Unity last Tuesday.

“We would amass 10-point leads, then fumble around a bit,” she said. “Eleven players contributed mostly great things, alternated with head-scratching errors.” Ellie Duncan had 15 digs and 13 assists for the Pirates;

Hanne Johnson had 14 digs, 12 assists, 10 kills and five blocks and Olivia Ohnstad had 12 kills. “I’m always grateful to leave with a win and most players mostly intact,” Allaman-Johnson said.

On Thursday, the Pirates hosted Webster and again claimed a win in three sets (2521, 25-19, 25-19). Johnson had 18 assists, 17 kills and 12 digs for Grantsburg; Ellie Duncan had 18 assists; Olivia Ohnstad had 13

Dragons lose late in Shell Lake SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

SHELL LAKE – The Siren football team had a significant loss before Friday’s game was decided. Early in the game against Shell Lake, the Dragons lost quarterback Jordan Webster with a knee injury and had to use an altered game plan for much of the game. While they got a solid performance from Cordell Fischer in the run game and a defensive effort worthy of a win, the Dragons were foiled by a late 2-point conversion and took a 15-14 loss. “We lost senior quarterback Jordan Webster to a knee injury four minutes into the game,” Siren coach Ryan Karsten said. “It changed our offensive philosophy and we struggled to move the ball.” However, the Dragons still nearly pulled-off the win, despite the injuries and an early deficit. Shell Lake broke the scoreless tie in the first quarter, scoring on

WEBSTER Prior to facing Grantsburg, the Tigers won their second consecutive match on Sept. 24 with a three-set decision (25-9, 25-19, 25-8) over Frederic. This match followed their four-set win over Siren on Sept. 19. Janssen had 16 assists for Webster; Kelsey Kidder had nine kills and six digs; Winkler had 11 kills and Lee had 10 assists. The Tigers play at St. Croix Falls on Tuesday and play at Unity on Oct. 10.

Knutson earns top 10 ﬁnish SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

Dragons were able to answer in the second quarter.

LAKE GENEVA – Grantsburg’s Jordan Knutson earned a top-10 finish for Carthage College in the Milwaukee School of Engineering Invitational at Grand Geneva Golf Resort over the weekend. Knutson had a 3-over par 74 in Sunday’s opening round on The Highlands course and a 2-over par 74 at The Brute course on Monday, giving him a 148 total and a share of ninth on the individual leaderboard. His scores helped Carthage finish third in the team standings with a 595, behind Edgewood (588) and Concordia Wisconsin (591). Knutson started his opening round at No. 14 and notched five consecutive pars before scoring his first birdie, at No. 1. However, the first of five bogeys came at No. 2. He birdied No. 4 and No. 6, but had a double-bogey at No. 7 and consecutive bogeys at No. 8 and 9. He did the same at No. 11 and 12, but followed those consecutive bogeys with a birdie at No. 13

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

WEBSTER – Points were too scarce to let any slip away. Unfortunately for the Webster football team, important points slipped through the cracks on Friday. Miscues on more than one drive prevented the Tigers from adding scores that could have made the difference in a 14-6 loss at home to Turtle Lake, despite an impressive effort on defense. Webster limited the Lakers to just five total yards rushing, though the visitor made the most of their passing yards and they benefitted from drive-ending mistakes made by the Tigers. “We knew with the speed (Turtle Lake) had at the skill positions, that we had to limit possessions,” Webster coach Andy Smith said. “We were able to hold them to five yards rushing in the game (but) they were able to score when they had to.” Webster had a game-opening drive that it seemingly had to score on, driving within the Turtle Lake 5-yard line, primed to take an early lead. However, the first of those key miscues occurred. “We fumbled the ball on the 2-yard line after driving 70 yards,” Smith said. While the defense prevented the Lakers from driving the length of the field, that fumble nixed the best opportunity for first-quarter points. Neither team was able to break the scoreless tie until the second quarter, when the Tigers couldn’t be denied a touchdown. Keith Glienke capped the game’s first scoring drive with a 5-yard touchdown run. The 2-point conversion was denied but the Tigers held a 6-0 lead with nearly eight minutes remaining in the half. The Webster defense was able to keep Turtle Lake off the board and opened the door for the offense to increase the lead, but a potential two-score lead became a deficit before halftime. A Tigers’ drive late in the half was halted

to end the first day with a 3-over par 74. Knutson’s second round had both fewer birdies and bogeys. He started at No. 16 and again had a string of pars, this time eight consecutive leading to No. 6, where he scored his lone birdie of the round. While he had a double-bogey at No. 7 and a bogey at No. 9, he sandwiched an eagle at No. 11 with pars at No. 10 and 12. Those put him in position for a top-5 finish on the individual board, though consecutive bogeys at No. 13 and 14 put him in a tie for ninth. Dubuque’s Garvin Paper won the event as the only golfer to finish under par, with a 1-under 142. “We played well, however, we needed to get one more low score,” Carthage coach Dave Roehl said, regarding Carthage’s effort at a team win. On Sept. 24, Knutson and the Red Men (315) placed fourth in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Preview tournament at Weibring Golf Club in Illinois. Knutson finished with an 8-over par 79 to tie for 34th while Illinois Wesleyan’s Rob Wuethrich won the event with a 3-under 68. Wesleyan also topped the team standings with a 285.

by a holding penalty, giving Turtle Lake another shot at its first points. “With two minutes left in the first half we had a holding penalty that killed a potential scoring drive and gave (Turtle Lake) the ball back,” Smith said. “(Turtle Lake) was able to turn that into a touchdown.” The Lakers capitalized on the opportunity, getting to the end zone with less than 30 seconds remaining before halftime. A 2-point conversion gave them an 8-6 lead entering the break. While the Tigers’ defense remained tough in the second half and limited the Lakers to just one more score, the offense wasn’t able to get on the board again. Despite the Lakers adding a touchdown on a 9-yard pass late in the third quarter, they failed on the 2-point conversion, mean-

ing the Tigers could have tied the game with a touchdown and 2-point conversion. However, the Turtle Lake defense and an occasional miscue by the Tigers prevented that from coming to fruition. Webster finished with 196 yards rushing. Coleton Peterson had 75 yards on 18 carries; Glienke had 73 yards on 17 carries and Nathan Stadler had 60 yards on 20 carries. Turtle Lake’s Dylan Nitchey accounted for over half its offense, rushing for 132 yards on five carries. Glienke led the Webster defense with 10 tackles; Dalton McCarthy added six tackles while Harlo Olson and Tallon Parent had five tackles each. Webster dropped to 3-2 overall on the season and plays at Holcombe-Cornell this Friday.

BADGERS REMAIN UNDEFEATED The University of Wisconsin football team, including Granstburg’s John and Leo Chenal, remained undefeated with a 24-15 win at home over Northwestern on Saturday. The Badgers took an early 7-0 lead and were up 7-3 entering halftime, but had to withstand a Northwestern comeback in the fourth quarter. They got two touchdowns on defense and a field goal in the second half to take a 24-3 lead, but the Wildcats scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to pull within nine with just over four minutes remaining in regulation. Wisconsin maintained the lead to improve to 4-0 on the season, entering a home game against Kent State this Saturday. WIN IN COACHING DEBUT Siren’s Molly Engstrom watched her first game behind the bench as an assistant coach for the St. Cloud State women’s hockey team on Saturday, to see the Huskies win an exhibition game over Regina. The Huskies outshot Regina 50-17 to earn a 3-0 win, with all three of their goals coming in the third period. St. Cloud State hosts Ohio State for games on Friday and Saturday, then heads to New York to face Rochester Institute of Technology for a pair of games on Oct. 11-12.

Grantsburg struggles at Invite SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. – The usual amount of running room wasn’t available for the Grantsburg boys cross country team on Saturday. The Pirates were among the scores of teams included in this year’s Roy Griak Invitational at Les Bolstad Golf Course. Though the teams are sorted into two divisions, Grantsburg and other teams in the Maroon Division accounted for nearly 600 competitors and the Pirates were close to getting a top-50 finisher. Will Gerber finished the route in 17 minutes, 54.8 seconds to place 55th overall to lead the Pirates, who finished 45th in the team standings that

included more than 60 schools. Notre Dame Academy won the event with 149 points, followed by Nova Classical Academy (181) and Minneapolis Southwest (206). Benilde-St. Margaret’s Frankie Lynch earned the 1st-place finish in 16:32.9. Brody Bongaarts finished 162nd for Grantsburg in 18:50.7; Connor Detienne was 270th in 19:30.7; Jordan Janes was 357th in 20:06.3 and Mason Arnold was 512th in 22:04. Owen Rathje (22:13.80) was 518th as the team’s additional runner. The Pirates go to St. Croix Falls on Thursday and to Amery on Tuesday. AT UNITY Edwin Janssen led Webster

with a 25th-place finish in the Eagle Invitational on Thursday. The Tigers finished sixth in the team standings with 173 points while Clear Lake had five top-20 finishers, including four top-10s, to win with 28 points. Unity (56) was second and St. Croix Falls (61) was third. Caleb Smith gave the Tigers another top-50 finisher, placing 39th in 21:33.41. Chris Rollins was 56th in 24:40.62; A.J.

DRAGONS: ‘It was a great game where we ended up on the short end’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

Fischer capped a scoring drive with a 14-yard touchdown run and Siren converted on the first of what would end as two important 2-point conversion attempts, with another Fischer run to give Siren an 8-7 lead entering halftime. After a scoreless third quarter, the Dragons again went to Fischer to claim their first lead of the game. He scored on another 14-yard touchdown run, but the 2-point conversion pass attempt from Nick Webster to Brady Kosloski was denied and the Dragons left two important points on the field. “Cordell Fischer did everything he could on offense to get us the win,” Karsten said. “Thirty-six carries is a heck of a game.” With a 14-7 lead, Siren needed to keep the Warriors out of the end zone to secure a win, or at least deny them the conversion if they scored. Shell Lake did score, finishing a drive with a 1-yard touchdown run and deciding to attempt the 2-point conversion for

the win, rather than a kick to tie the game. “I expected (Shell Lake) to go for the win,” Karsten said. “Every good coach would have went for two.” The Warriors did, getting the conversion with a pass play to take a 15-14 lead. Unfortunately for the Dragons, those were the final points of the game. “We played well on defense, we just didn’t make the plays in the last three minutes to win,” Karsten said. “(Shell Lake’s) seniors played really well and deserved to win the game and potentially the conference title. It was a great game where we ended-up on the short end.” Fischer finished with 153 yards rushing on 36 carries and led the defense with 11 tackles. Gavyn Anton added nine tackles while Riley Churchill added six and Nick Webster had an interception. The Dragons now await word on the health of both Jordan Webster and Jimmy Krentze, who also was injured during the game. Siren (4-2) hosts Mellen this Friday.

CROSS COUNTRY: Webster girls CC is becoming more competitive CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19

GIRLS CC The Webster girls cross country team is becoming more competitive. Two weeks ago, the Tigers finished a distant fifth behind Clear Lake in fourth and 80 points off the pace set by meet-winning Unity. In Thursday’s Unity Invitational, the Tigers were just four points from bumping Clear Lake out of fourth and even managed to shrink some of the distance between themselves and the Eagles. Led by a top-10 finish from Emily Doriott, Webster placed fifth in the event with 95 points, just three behind Clear Lake (92) in fourth while Unity (24) again claimed the

Grantsburg back on track with big win at Flambeau SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

FLAMBEAU – The early run game allowed a .500 record to be established. Early success on the ground allowed the Grantsburg football team to throw for success at Flambeau on Friday and got the Pirates back to even on the season with a 45-6 win. “We needed to establish the run game early and put together some drives, which we did,” Grantsburg coach Adam Hale said. Isaac Quimby had 140 yards rushing on 18 carries and Aidan Burkman had 116 on 12 carries, leading the Pirates to an early multi-score lead. Quimby scored on a 6-yard touchdown run followed by a Jared VanWatermuelen kick to give them a 7-0 lead. Quimby then scored on a 53yard run, again followed by a VanWatermuelen kick, putting Grantsburg up 14-0 with time remaining in the first quarter. The success on offense also gave the Pirates an advantage in time of possession, which the defense contributed to. “We forced some 3-and-outs and didn’t allow any long drives, which kept our offense in good field position most of the night,” Hale said. “Our defense has steadily improved since the Turtle Lake game and each week that our younger guys play, it gives them more experience and confidence. The Pirates went to the pass game to increase their lead in the second quarter, with a 53-yard touchdown pass from Sterling McKinley to Zach Miller. Another

VanWatermuelen kick put the Pirates up 21-0. McKinley and Miller also connected on a 48-yard touchdown pass to open the second-half scoring to put the Pirates up 30-0. Later in the quarter, McKinley found Reed Arnold for a 4-yard touchdown pass and Grantsburg’s final offensive score gave it a 37-0 lead, though its defense had points to score. Matt Kottke intercepted a Flambeau pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown, which Burkman followed with a 2-point conversion run. Flambeau managed to break Grantsburg’s shutout bid, but was nowhere near a comeback. The Pirates, however, felt it could have been even more lopsided. “We left some points off the board as well as we had a few drops on open pass plays and a couple of execution miscues,” Hale said. McKinley completed six of his 15 pass attempts for 118 yards; Miller had 105 yards receiving. Trevor Anderson led the defense with nine tackles; Sam Prusinski had six tackles while Simon Bunting, Miller and Dane Jensen had interceptions. The Pirates improved to 3-3 on the season and 2-2 in the Lakeland Conference. They host Elmwood-Plum City this Friday and it’s one of several wins they’ll need to maintain postseason hopes. “We’re treating every game as a must-win,” Hale said. “Since we started so poorly in-conference, we really trying to get a win at a time to allow ourselves a chance at playoff eligibility.”

LaFleur gets ﬁrst taste of defeat as Packers coach KEITH JENKINS AP SPORTS WRITER

GREEN BAY–– Matt LaFleur said it is time to hit the reset button. LaFleur got his first taste of defeat as Green Bay’s coach Thursday night with the Packers’ 34-27 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. “I think you can find a lot out of a lot of people in times of adversity,” said the 39-year-old first-year coach. “This is our first real test of adversity, but I think we have the right character. I think we’ve got the right leadership in that locker room that our guys will stick together.” After allowing 35 points through the first three games, the Packers (3-1) surrendered that much in 60 minutes Thursday. It was Green Bay’s first home loss in September with Aaron Rodgers as its starting quarterback (14-1-1). It also was Rodgers’ first career defeat when leading by 10 or more points at any point at home (58-0-1). “There’s a lot to build on, and the frustrating thing is a home game, a winnable game, a good opponent, that we just didn’t execute the way we should’ve to win that football game,” Rodgers said. “... I think we’re a good football team. To be a great football team, you have to win these kind of games when you’re playing really good opponents.”

What’s working Despite the loss, Rodgers and the Packers’ offense put up a season-high 491 yards of total offense and tied a season high with 27 points. After a monster season last year, wide receiver Davante Adams had his breakout game of the young 2019 campaign. The twotime Pro Bowler had a career-high 180 yards on 10 catches just six days after he and his wife, Devanne, welcomed their new baby girl, Deija Leigh, into the world. Green Bay also got a big night from Jimmy Graham. The 10-year veteran was shut out the past two weeks but rebounded with his second touchdown of the season and season highs in catches (six) and yards (61).

in a row an opponent had run for 149 yards or more. “Just from an execution standpoint, we’ve got to get better at staying in our gaps, having better discipline on the backside of runs and just overall performing better,” defensive tackle Dean Lowry said.

Stock up Geronimo Allison. With Adams’ immediate availability hanging in the balance due to a toe injury, Allison could see his targets increase. Allison had three catches for 52 yards and a touchdown Thursday. The fourth-year receiver had only managed five receptions for 24 yards and a score through the first three games. Allison didn’t see a single pass come his way in the season opener. “I’m very, very excited for him and the progress that’s he’s showing and the leadership that he’s showing for our room, because we do have some young players,” wide receivers coach Alvis Whitted said of Allison.

Stock down Aaron Jones. The third-year UTEP product scored a touchdown in his sixth straight home game Thursday. That’s the longest streak in franchise history. But after Jones’ score, he had an overall quiet night with just 13 rushes for 21 yards, and that was with fellow running back Jamaal Williams being evaluated for a concussion. Jones now has just 38 yards on his last 23 carries.

Injured LaFleur said Friday that Williams, who was carted off the field Thursday following the first play from scrimmage, was well enough to return home after spending the night in the hospital. Jones said he visited Williams during his stay and Williams was “making jokes.” Adams, who suspected he has turf toe following Thursday’s loss, underwent an MRI Friday. LaFleur said he will have “a better indication of where we stand once we get through the weekend.”

Key number 9–Rodgers now ranks ninth in NFL history with 344 career touchdown passes. Eli Manning is eighth with 362.

What’s not working

Next Steps

For the third straight week, the Packers’ run defense was flat-out bad. Philadelphia rushed 33 times for 176 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and two scores. It was the third week

After playing three games in 11 days, the Packers now have about a week and a half to heal, rest and prepare for a road matchup against the Cowboys Oct. 6.

Donald Enock Wistrom, 84, of Grantsburg, passed away Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2019 at the St. Croix Regional Medical Center. Donnie was born Jan. 12, 1935 in Grantsburg the sson of Enock and Amanda ((Hegge) Wistrom. He attended grade school iin Alpha and high school iin Grantsburg. Donald sserved in the United States A Army from June 12, 1956, to J June 11, 1958. He returned tto Grantsburg and worked ffor McNally Brothers until 11971. After a short time at P Penta Wood Products, Don sstarted at Northwestern WI E Electric Company on the tree crew. Later, he became a lineman and continued at that until he fell with a pole that broke off in the winter of 1973. Don loved working on the line crew with Darrell Finch, Lyle Finch and John Dahlberg. All three became his lifelong friends. He was introduced to his best friend and love of his life, Kathleen (Kathy) Brenizer by her brother Russell Brenizer, at the roller-skating rink in Frederic. Don and Kathy were married Jan. 23, 1960 at the sand farm; the same house where Kathy had been born and raised. Their daughter Sheila was born March 13, 1961; the night that Ingemar Johansson fought Floyd Patterson for the Heavyweight Championship of the World. He made many trips between the hospital and the car radio to monitor the progress of Sheila’s debut and the results of the fight. He recalled this story to Sheila every year on her birthday. This family of three took many trips “out west.” In October 1971, the family was overjoyed to welcome a son and brother, John Donald. Now, the family of four, continued to explore the west which was Don’s favorite place to vacation. Don passed on his love of guns, hunting, shooting and the outdoors to John. Father and son spent endless hours in the woods behind their house until John’s heartbreaking death in November 1992. Don started recording the daily weather in 1964. This changed into a daily diary in the 70s. If you called or visited Don and Kathy, you became part of the diary. He served as President of the Grantsburg Rod & Gun Club for many years and was a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. Don’s life was enriched further with the birth of his grandchildren, Joshua John in 1989 and Tiffany Jo in 1992. Josh and Tiff spent endless hours at their grandparent’s house and went on countless little vacations. Don and Kathy rarely missed Josh and Tiff’s sporting events. He missed meeting his great granddaughter, Presley, age one, by a few days. Anyone that knew Don, knew of his love for family and friends, guns and hunting, country music, dancing and joke telling. Ole and Lena were his favorites, along with the tongue twister “In and Out.” Don’s memory of history, events and dates amazed people up to the end of his life. Don loved socializing and was usually the “life of the party.” He will be sadly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him! He was preceded in death by his parents, Enock and Amanda; son, John Donald Wistrom; granddaughter, Jennifer Marie Meyer; sister, Florence Jensen-Graves and his brothers, Emmons, Fred, Burt, Russell and Teddy. Donnie is survived by his wife, Kathleen, Grantsburg; daughter, Sheila (Mike) Meyer, Grantsburg; grandchildren, Josh Meyer, Virginia Beach, VA, Tiffany Meyer (Dayton), Grantsburg; great granddaughter, Presley Meyer; brother, Curtis (Karin) Wistrom, Dresser; sister, Laura Bjkorklund, Grantsburg; many nieces, nephews, other loving family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, Oct. 4, 2019 at 3 p.m. (visitation 2-3 p.m.) at the Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home in Grantsburg. Military Honors will be accorded following the service at the Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home. Visitation will be held at the Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019 from 4-8 p.m. Please join the family for a nice meal and fellowship following the service at Hummers Event Center in Grantsburg.

BEARHART: Two OWI in three months CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Office since Sept. 10. According to a second criminal complaint, Bearhart allegedly attempted to elude an officer of the law after Minnesota State Patrol gave the sheriff’s office a heads up that her vehicle was possibly involved in a hit and run accident in Pine County. Authorities located Bearhart’s vehicle, a silver Ford Explorer, on Loon Lake Dam Road. They turned on their emergency lights and siren, however, Bearhart allegedly did not stop and drove around the police vehicle. Bearhart eventually turned onto Lake 26 Road and at one point was traveling around 75 mph. After about a mile and a half, Bearhart pulled over onto the shoulder. The officer asked Bearhart to do several field sobriety tests, after that she was placed under arrest and taken to Burnett County Jail following a brief visit to Burnett Medical Center for a chemical blood test. Bearhart was first arrested for OWI in Minnesota in 2007, was subsequently arrested for OWI in 2008 and twice in 2012. Online court records show she was arrested for OWI with the enhancer of general alcohol concentration because Bearhart has two or more prior convictions. With her initial breath test being .17 the fines may be doubled. Bearhart is facing a $25,000 fine and a possible ten years in prison or both for the 5th OWI. Then for her 6th OWI, she is looking at the same fine and prison time, but the fine may be doubled. Both OWIs are class G felony charges. For attempting to flee or elude an officer, Bearhart is facing a potential $10,000 fine and no more than three years and six months in prison for the class I felony. Bearhart also has an obstruction of justice case from an incident in the Town of Swiss back in July. She is currently in custody of Burnett County and is scheduled to appear for a status conference in October.

What is my life built on?

Pastor Brad Moore Grace Baptist Church

“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the Rock.” You may have used similar words recently in a conversation concerning the amount of rainfall and storms we have been experiencing in northern Wisconsin. Many homes are at risk due to flooding and other water-related issues. On the surface, homes may look okay, but upon closer inspection, in basements, hidden underneath floors, and seeping through walls, is evidence of pending disaster. Some of you may know the words I quoted above are the words of Jesus from Matthew

chapter 7, verse 25. Here Jesus compares my life to a house and the rains and winds to the troubles and difficulties I experience. When those hardships strike, my very life will stand or fall based on what it is built on. God’s conclusion? If my life is not built on the words of Jesus, then my house will not stand. The difficulties of life will expose what my foundation is, and if it is not built upon Jesus, the Rock, it will fall. Just prior to verse 25, Jesus says, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” This raises two very important questions:

Why it’s important to discuss cancer screenings with your doctor

The Reach of Breast Cancer Breast cancer — which occurs when breast cells grow out of control, form a tumor and become malignant — affected more than 250,000 people in 2018, according to the National Cancer Institute. About 3.5 million women are living with breast cancer in the United States, and more than 12% of women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes. The number of deaths from breast cancer is 20.6 per 100,000 women per year; the death rate among all cancers (men and women) is 163.5 per 100,000 people, so breast cancer has a much higher rate of survival. It typically responds very well to treatment; almost nine out of 10 women treated for breast cancer are alive five years after their diagnoses. The success of treatment is heavily dependent on how early in the cancer’s development it’s diagnosed; more than 60% of cases are found in the early stages of cancer, before

it’s metastatized to other organs, the treatment of which has a 99% five-year survival rate.

Did you know that breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women? Or that men can get breast cancer? Or that, when caught and treated early, many types of breast cancer have almost a 100% cure rate? Breast cancer, like all types of cancer, doesn’t have a lot of easy answers about what causes it or what people can do to lessen their chances of developing a tumor. However, researchers have identified some contributing factors.

A family history of cancer is a big one. Women whose grandmothers, mothers or sisters had breast cancer should talk to their doctors about effective testing techniques at an earlier age than is normally recommended. Other possible factors include having dense breast tissue; exposing breast tissue to estrogen because of late menopause, never giving birth, early menstruation or being older at the birth of a woman’s first child. Taking hormones also may contribute. Health factors like alcohol use and obesity also may contribute to cancer risk for all cancers. We don’t know how to prevent cancer, but there are steps women can take that are thought to reduce the risk of breast cancer; these protective factors include estrogen-only hormone therapy after a hysterectomy, healthy eating and exercise and other lifestyle factors.

Cancer affects people from all walks of life. The American Cancer Society says that, in 2019, there will be approximately 141,000 cancer cases diagnosed and about 103,000 cancer deaths in the United States. Breast cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer are some of the most common cancers, although just about any area of the body can be affected by the cell mutations that lead to cancer. There is no cure for cancer, although billions of dollars are spent each year researching the disease and potential cures. Until a cure has been found, individuals must rely on screenings and prevention methods. Cancer screening tests are designed to find cancers in their earliest stages, when the disease is most treatable. Many cancer screening tests have been found to lower the death rate from particular cancers, according to the health and wellness resource site MedicineNet. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supports various cancer screening tests as recommended by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force. The average person should discuss with their physicians their risk for certain cancers. By considering individual medical history, family health history and/or prior screening results, doctors can develop a screening plan to reduce patients’ risk of cancer. • Breast cancer: Mammograms can help find breast abnormalities early on when they are easier to treat and can produce a very good success rate. • Colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy: These tests help detect colorectal cancer early on and also may help prevent the disease. These tests can find abnormal colon growths that can be removed before they become cancer. • Cervical cancer: A Pap test can find abnormal cells in the cervix that may turn into cancer. Early detection of cervical cancer increases survival rates. • Lung cancer: Yearly lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography for those with a history of smoking, particularly heavy smoking, is often recommended. Some cancer screenings are recommended to help catch cancer early and prevent the disease from progressing. People are urged to speak with their doctors about which tests are best for them.

What to watch for

Did you know? Though women may notice various signs and symptoms that could be indicative of breast cancer, breast pain is generally not one of them. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® notes that there are various harmless causes of breast pain, such as puberty, menstruation and child birth, but that breast pain is not commonly a symptom of cancer. However, in rare instances breast pain may correlate with cancer. For example, breast tumors may cause pain, but cancerous tumors are not generally reported as painful. Though it may not be linked to breast cancer, breast pain should still be reported to a physician immediately, advises the NBCF.

Since early diagnosis plays such an outsized role in successfully treating breast cancer, people should know what signs to look for and what the screening process will like when you go to the doctor. SYMPTOMS According to the American Cancer Society, the most common symptom of breast cancer is a new lump or mass in the breast that wasn’t previously there. A mass that is painless and hard and has irregular edges is more likely to be cancer, but malignant tumors can be soft, tender, round or painful. When you find a new lump, go to the doctor. This means women need to know what their breasts look and feel like, so regular self-exams are beneficial. Other possible symptoms include swelling of the breast, skin dimpling or irritation, breast pain, nipple retraction, pain or discharge or the skin of the breast or nipple turning red, scaly or thick. Breast cancer also can manifest in swollen nodes

in the armpit or around the collarbone. SCREENINGS During your annual physical, your doctor will examine your breasts and lymph nodes for changes. This will typically be the first step even when you go in knowing something has changed. Breast tissue can change with time; women develop cysts, and menstruation and menopause can affect tissue as well. Your doctor also will

ask you about your family history with all types of cancer, but particularly breast, uterine and ovarian cancers. Based on the exam and discussion, she may decide further testing, such as an ultrasound, is needed. In an ultrasound, the doctor is able to isolate the affected area and get a visual of sorts of the lump; its size, shape, density and other factors can help her determine if this is a tumor or a cyst or just a change in fatty breast

tissue. Another screening is a mammogram, which is an X-ray that can find tumors that aren’t felt with physical exams. These are recommended for all women 40 years old and older, but women who are at higher risk may start them earlier. In addition to tumors, mammograms can find small calcium deposits that are a sign of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer in men It’s diagnosed and treated similarly in all genders, so early diagnosis remains key. The science around the cause of male breast cancer is unclear, according to the Mayo Clinic, same as most types of most cancer, though male breast cancer is even more mysterious. People of all genders are born with some breast tissue and milk-producing glands (lobules) that transport milk to the nipples and fat. When a girl hits puberty, she develops more breast tissue, and boys do not. Boys, however, do still have the breast tissue with which they were born. The most common type of breast cancer in men is ductal carcinoma, which begins in the milk ducts. Just as with women, there is

research indicating a family history of breast cancer increases the likelihood of a man

getting the disease. Gene mutations like BRCA2 (the same mutation actress Angelina

Jolie had that put her at a high risk of breast cancer) increases a man’s risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer. Older age remains a risk factor, as does exposure to estrogen, obesity or liver or testicular disease. Men who are born with Klinefelter’s syndrome, a genetic condition in which some boys have more than one copy of the X chromosome, also increase a man’s likelihood of contracting breast cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment is critical for best outcomes in male breast cancer, which can be harder since it’s not always the first condition tested for, so knowing the symptoms is important. These include a painless lump in or thickening of the breast tissue, changes to the nipple

(redness, scaling or turning inward) or nipple discharge or changes to the skin covering the breast area. Men who see these symptoms should ask their doctor for further assessment. According to the Mayo Clinic, diagnosis and treatment is similar to what women experience: clinical breast exams, medical imaging that enables the doctor to see problem areas, or a biopsy, during which the doctor extracts tissue from the suspected tumor and tests it. Male breast cancer is often hormone-related, so doctors may recommend hormone therapy in addition to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

Renovations That Add Value Whether you’re planning to sell your property or wish to invest in your forever home, fall is a great time to renovate. As the distractions of having fun in the sun pass with summer, take advantage of cooler weather to improve the appearance and increase the value of your house. While not all renovations break the bank, those on tight budgets can benefit from financing. While searching for a lender, you should plan to shop around for competitive interest rates, reasonable terms and manageable payment obligations. Make sure to disclose your desire to acquire a home-improvement loan as it features attractive benefits to borrowers. Here are a few common repairs that homeowners perform to add value to their home, according to the experts at Consumer Reports. KITCHEN UPGRADES The kitchen has been regarded as a room that attracts the most attention. If your cabinets or appliances are outdated, modernizing them can change the entire aesthetic of your room. You can also use an attractive backsplash to tie together countertops and cabinets during a renovation. For more extreme (and expensive) upgrades, redesigning the layout of cabinets or adding an island is another value-enhancing trend. If your new blueprint requires you to remove walls, it’s best to hire an expert who can ensure load-bearing stabilizers remain unaltered.

FINISHING THE BASEMENT This renovation may be an expensive investment but can add ample living space to your home’s square footage. While HomeAdvisor suggests that homeowners should expect to pay between $10,000 and $27,000 when converting a basement, the extra space for a new bedroom or office can add

tremendous upside to your property. REDO YOUR FLOORS Carpet doesn’t hold the same fashion sense as it used to. Updating your floor coverings with high quality hardwood or vinyl is an easy upgrade that can visually enhance a room. When replacing floors, inspect your

home’s structure for signs of damaged wood or water spots, especially in the bathroom and kitchen. Resolving these problems before adding new flooring will protect your investment and ensure the newly installed components are uncompromised.

Erase Summer, Prepare for Winter Autumn is a chance for many Americans to take a breath from the extreme heat of summer before brutal winter weather presents itself. It’s also the perfect time to repair issues on your home that you may have put off.

businesses use commercial cleaners that aren’t available to the public and will avoid damaging compromised siding or windows. INSPECT THE ROOF Roofs are subject to degradation during intense summer heat and heavy snowfall or ice in the winter. Autumn is the perfect time to inspect your roof for damage and find a professional to repair or replace it. Here are a few signs that your home’s cover needs attention, from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. Loose or cracked shingles, missing granules from tiles and buckling shingles, leaks inside the attic, water stains on the roof decking, a discolored roofing deck, interior water stains on the ceiling, and cracked ceiling paint or peeling wallpaper.

Prolonged exposure to the sun can wreak havoc on your home’s exterior. Winter brings along its own set of challenges if you live in a region where heavy snowfall or freezing temperatures are common. Learn the right steps to take and resolve problems caused by the summer and prepare your home for the incoming cold. PRESSURE WASH Over time, our home’s beauty falls victim to elements like sunlight, rain, wind and pollution. The result can be a dirty or sometimes green color clinging to the siding. The safest and most effective way to eliminate it and restore a structure’s appeal is with a pressure washer. When choosing to

purchase a pressure washer and perform the job yourself, research the unit that works best for your needs. Typi-

cally you can choose from gasoline or electric models. For big jobs like cleaning a house, one that operates on gas is

your best bet as it will feature higher flow rates and a more powerful performance. While the job isn’t

difficult with a little practice, you can hire an expert to wash your home at an affordable rate. Many reputable

Save on Next Yearâ€™s Landscape Sure, May showers bring spring flowers, but itâ€™s fall planning that deserves most of the credit.

walk-behind drop spreader, you can evenly distribute nutrients throughout your entire lawn. If youâ€™re not sure which type of fertilizer is right for your lawnâ€™s condition, consider hiring a professional lawn care service to find the right mixture.

You can save a ton of money on next yearâ€™s landscape by investing and planning during autumn. Here are a few tips to get you started without breaking the bank.

FERTILIZE BEDS While the leaves and flowers of your perennials may look worse for the wear during fall, underground, the plant is very active. Fertilizing the area during the fall is a great way to ensure they will be back in full force next spring and avoid investing in new plants. The experts at Missouri Botanical Garden suggests using a complete fertilizer that contains important nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AUTUMN SALES For most parts of the country, fall is the time to plant perennial bulbs for spring blooms. Nurseries also typically hold autumn sales to unload inventory before the cold temperatures arrive. Once you plant your bulbs, be sure to cover them with a protective layer of mulch to serve as a barrier to frost. You can also look for great price cuts on hardy flowering plants that can be cared for indoors before transporting them outside in spring PREPARE YOUR LAWN How you treat your lawn during autumn can have a direct impact on how healthy it is when spring arrives. Experts at Popular Mechanics suggest regularly mowing until the last two cuttings of the year. For the final two, drop your mowerâ€™s blade but avoid taking off more than one-third of the grass blades at one time. Depending on the length of grass, you may have to gradually lower your deck as you finish out the year. Keeping it cut short helps the sun reach its crowns and promote future growth. Donâ€™t forget to fertilize your lawn to ensure it stays healthy during the winter. With the help of a broadcast or

Clean Out the Garden After harvesting the fruits and vegetables you labored over throughout the summer, it’s important to clean out your garden.

for winter. Gently till the soil to remove insects who have laid claim to the garden to avoid their intrusion during spring and summer. Add a layer of compost, leaves or aged manure to create a barrier. You can improve your soil by sowing a cover crop like winter rye. If weeds have become unmanageable, cover them with black plastic or cardboard throughout the season to subdue them. If you add flowers to your garden landscape, now is the time to plant spring-blooming bulbs for a beautiful appearance next year.

Leaving behind decaying plants or roots can cause a breeding ground for pests and bacteria that can harm your plants next year. Fall is the perfect time for a garden overhaul because waiting for winter will introduce a harder ground and frost that can cripple a plant’s chances of returning. From maintaining your gardening tools to preparing land for next season’s planting, readying a garden during autumn will provide an advantage for a successful harvest when the temperatures rise again. CLEAR THE GROUND First, you will want to clear the ground of anything used for last summer’s harvest. This includes items you used to support your plants like trellises, tomato cages and stakes. Keep these to the side because they will require main-

tenance before they are stored for the year. Next, it’s important to remove dormant or dead plants, fruits and vegetables.

Inspect them for signs of decay or disease before adding them to your compost pile. If they are compromised, they should instead be

burned or disposed of. The Morton Arboretum recommends compost should avoid diseased plants as it may spread to next year’s crop.

WINTER PREP Once the ground is cleared of plants, the Farmer’s Almanac suggests these steps when preparing your garden

CLEAN EQUIPMENT You will want to clean your plant-supporting equipment from earlier use with a bleach and water solution to eradicate diseases. Don’t forget to clean up your other gardening tools like rakes, hoes and shovels to make it easier to get started next year.

Do Your Gutters Need an Update? It’s easy to take our home’s gutters for granted. When they’re working properly, their defense against heavy rain may go unnoticed. However, when they fail, homes be seriously damaged. Do you know the signs of a failing gutter system and the best course of action to resolve them? PURPOSE OF GUTTERS Effective guttering provides protection to keep heavy rainfall from entering an attic or exterior wall. Without this barrier, intrusive water can destroy siding, ruin insulation and create stains around brick or stone. It’s also crucial to reroute rain from the ground perimeter of your home with gutters and downspouts. Failure to do so introduces the risk of interior flooding, shifting soil and a cracked foundation. The National Association of Home Builders estimates the average lifespan of galvanized steel or aluminum gutters is 20 years. If you are due for a new system and plan to hire an expert, be sure they are both licensed and insured. WHAT TO INSPECT Preventing overflow is the most important maintenance you can provide your gutters. Inspect the system for blockages, an insufficient number of pipes to care for the entire structure and dislodged joints. Anything that is inhibiting your gutter’s performance should be removed or replaced.

SAFETY TIPS When performing inspections or maintenance on your home’s gutters, caution is required. The experts at the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors urge DIYers to follow these safety tips. • When scaling a ladder, always use a spotter to ensure it is secure and

Buying your Dream Home If you have been hesitant when waiting to buy a home, fall can be the best time of year to find your dream property at a great value. Due to seasonal fluctuations, much of America shifts into a buyer’s market once autumn temperatures arrive and before winter’s chill sets in. This is usually caused when there is saturation in available inventory but a lack of competition from eager home buyers. In this scenario, sellers are more open to negotiations rather than carrying over expenses into next year. If you’re committed to buying a house this fall, here are some tips to streamline the process and stretch your dollar. GET YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER Determining the amount of a monthly payment you can afford shouldn’t be your only concern when developing a budget. Buying a home carries many financial responsibilities. Closing costs are a common expense that falls on a buyer’s shoulders. In fact, data from the American Society of Home Inspectors suggests the fees can add up to between two and five percent of a home’s sale price. This covers services necessary to complete a sale like appraisals, home inspections and title-transfer fees. You will also benefit from seeking pre-approval from a lender to find out how much financing you’re eligible for and to show sellers you’re motivated and qualified.

HIRE AN EXPERT AGENT Once your financing is secure and a wish list is intact, you should seek the expertise of a real estate agent. They will guide you through in-person

visits, negotiations and help you understand what paperwork to expect. Did you know that since home sellers are typically responsible for a Realtor’s commission fees, you will get

their services for little or no financial obligation?

Fun Crafts with Leaves Turn piles of autumn leaves from a pile of yard waste into beautiful seasonal crafts. These ideas aren’t just pretty, they’re kid friendly, too. Start a new tradition with these ideas. LEAF STENCILS To pull this off, try to find full leaves with unique patterns on their tips. Transfer shapes by tracing it to high quality paper with metallic markers, colored pencils or ink. You can make your designs stand out by coloring them in with glow-in-the-dark or glossy paint. After a little practice, consider showcasing them on an accent wall to create an appealing fall aesthetic indoors. GLITTER LEAVES Creating shimmering leaves is easy with a little glue and a lot of glitter. Draw unique designs or shapes on the leaves with a hot glue gun or stick, and sprinkle glitter on top. The adhesive will hold it in place and showcase your glimmering art. For extra creativity, visit your local hobby shop to find colored glue to combine with the sparkling glitter. GOOGLY EYES This one can be a lot of fun for the kids. Googly eyes add fun and personality to boring old leaves. Encourage children to complete the facial structure with noses and mouths and create their own leaf family by giving each character its own name and story.

3D LEAVES Use a plaster mixture to cast leaves and complete the display with a coat
