Speed and alcohol factor in fatal crash JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

A 29-year-old Danbury woman was found dead in Meenon after being ejected from her vehicle, according to the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office.

Kaylee N. Jennissen was pronounced dead at the scene on County Highway A about three miles east of State Highway 35 early on Saturday morning.

Burnett County dispatch received a report of a single vehicle accident in Meenon. Emergency crews arrived on scene to find Jennissen was ejected from her vehicle. The sheriff’s office said she was the lone occupant in the single vehicle crash.

A statement released by the sheriff’s office stated the investigation suggested the crash occurred several hours earlier.

“Speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash,” the statement said.

Webster Fire Department, Webster First Responders and North Ambulance assisted in the call.

Burnett County Sheriff’s Office along with the Wisconsin State Patrol are investigating the crash.

County setting aside $25,000 for local events in 2021 JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

A number of events were cancelled this summer due to COVID-19. Both county fairs were cancelled, Memorial Day celebrations and Fourth of July celebrations were cancelled in 2020. There is a plan in place to help these events in 2021.

The 2021 budget for Burnett County has set aside $25,000 to help those

events. Some of these cancelled events were the main fundraiser for dozens of groups across the county.

There will be a public hearing for the budget on Nov. 10 and it is slated to be passed on that same day. County Administrator Nate Ehalt gave details on the funds to the full county board of supervisors last week.

Veterans Day will be virtual experience JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

November 11 is a date set aside to commemorate those who have served our country. For one day, we stand united in respect to our veterans.

The story is well known. It was first celebrated as Armistice Day, which marked the end of World War I, the

“11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month” in 1918.

At any other time since then local groups have organized celebrations across the county. In recent years those celebrations have been held at area high schools. However, with the coronavirus pandemic ongoing, schools have had to change how they celebrate Veterans Day.

The answer - like most things in 2020, it will be celebrated virtually.

Grantsburg, Siren and Webster are all preparing for virtual ceremonies to commemorate Veterans Day. In Grantsburg the ceremony will be pre-recorded and shown to students.

Siren and Webster officials told the Sentinel they are still in the planning process of their respective events.

Arrest made in Round Lake hit and run cold case APRIL ZIEMER EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM

Late January, Polk County Sheriff’s Department set a goal of revisiting an unsolved case that affected Polk County and the Round Lake Community Jan. 11, 2014; the hit-and-run, double fatality that took the lives of Ben Juarez and Rick Cobenais.

Ten months later, that revisit has paid off. Andrew Endres, 32, Randolph, MN. has been charged with two counts of hit and run involving death.

Six years ago, witnesses said Cobenais, concerned over Juarez’s ability to drive, took his car keys. An altercation ensued that spilled into the traffic lanes of County Road E. A truck approached from the north and hit them.

Evidence at the scene and witness statements indicated that after striking the pair, the Endres truck stopped. The driver and a front passenger exited the vehicle and began to approach the scene before abruptly running back to the vehicle and fleeing to the south.

Jan. 31, 2020, in a news conference, Cobenais’ son, Thomas Fowler spoke.

When speaking of the individuals who fled the scene six years ago he said, “I don’t hold grudges against them. As an Anishinaabe we are taught that forgiveness gives us peace, but I do not have anyone to forgive. My peace has been disrupted for five years.”

He described how since the incident he has had anxiety over people walking and jogging on the local county roads.

“There are two individuals out there who feel it is ok to run someone over and keep going. I need peace so I can move on with the rest of my life. I am ready to forgive these two individuals.

Be a man. Do the right thing. I cannot keep reliving this,” he said.

It was not one of the individuals that ended up coming forward, but someone else who had learned of the incident.

According to the criminal complaint, the Polk County Sheriff’s Department received a call Sept. 28 from an individual identified as MJL, who said his estranged wife, identified as KKL, was intoxicated one evening and told him her friend, Endres, was the individual who had struck and killed the Native Americans.

MJL said his soon-to-be ex-wife, KKL, is a longtime friend of Endres.

MJL said approximately six months ago, KKL and he had argued about the amount of time she had been spending with Endres. MJL said during the conversation, KKL told him Endres

was having a hard time after seeing a recent story on KARE 11 about the hit-and-run accident and that was why she had been spending so much time with him, adding she was helping him through it.

KKL allegedly told MJL on the night of the incident, Endres was having a party at his parent’s cabin and they had run out of beer and were going to town when the incident happened. MJL said KKL told him Endres was drunk when it occurred. KKL said Endres fixed the truck damage and paid cash, but did not know where.

Investigators obtained a search warrant for a phone number associated with Endres and were able to find phone activity leading up to and shortly after the incident communicating with a cellphone tower near the intersection of County Road E/County Road G, in Luck, WI. Investigators were also able to locate a 1997 Ford F150 truck, once owned by Endres, which had since been sold to other various parties.

Investigators first interviewed Endres at his place of employment in Hampton, MN. Oct. 14. Initially Endres said he did not know where Polk County, WI. was, but did confirm his parents have a cabin in that area. At that time he also confirmed his phone number and that he once owned a Ford F150 black truck, he said the vehicle had never been in an accident that he knew of.

Allegedly he then told investigators he knew what they were getting at. Endres said his friend was going through a divorce and said, “I hate to tell you, I think you’re going on a wild goose chase.” He said his friend was going through a nasty divorce and her soonto-be ex-husband knew he had a black truck and his parents had a place “up there.” Investigators believed he was speaking of KKL and MJL.

Endres’ father was interviewed. He confirmed they have a cabin in Luck and he said his son rarely goes to the property. When asked if his son had told him that he had been interviewed by investigators earlier that day, he said his son said officers from Polk County had come to speak with him about a boat. The father said up until this time, he had never heard about the hit-and-run accident.

Also Oct. 14, investigators met with an individual identified in the complaint as WITNESS1, whose phone number was used by the phone belonging to Endres in the area on the date of the accident.

WITNESS1 said on the day of the accident he and his then-girlfriend went to the Endres cabin in Luck, with the intention of meeting friends and staying at the cabin overnight. He said also there was Endres, KKL and two other females. He said everyone was drinking and playing cards and were talking about a sign they had seen on the drive up and decided they were going to go leave and take the sign. He said when they left the cabin, Endres was driving his Ford F150 truck and he was the front seat passenger.

He said 5-10 minutes after leaving, they came across a car with headlights at the end of a driveway and two figures in the middle of the roadway fighting in their lane of travel.

He recalled Endres slamming on the brakes before the vehicle stopped. WITNESS1 said he exited the passenger side door, but remained near the door. He said Endres exited the truck and began to run back to where the victims were struck. He said Endres then ran back to the truck and told WITNESS1 to get back in. They then drove away. WITNESS1 admitted they knew they struck the individuals.

He said Endres parked the truck in the garage and attempted to clean it

businesses and the local economy,” Ehalt said. “But it is also crucial for our residents to get them in the community and enjoy these events.”

The funds are classified as a one-time expense of $25,000 and the process for receiving funds will follow protocol as tourism grants.

Ehalt also commented on sales tax numbers over the last several months since the pandemic began.

Across the state sales tax numbers were declining due to lack of summer travel, that is not the case in Burnett County.

“Our sales tax funds are incredibly healthy,” Ehalt said. “People with second homes came here during

quarantine and lockdown from March through April.”

He added this follows a similar trend across the country with people living the suburbs and urban areas moving to rural America.

Ehalt said, “Rural areas throughout this pandemic have seen a significant uptick. Minnesota suburban families are moving here.”

BUDGET NUMBERS FOR 2021 • Total budget................ $28,276,567 • Total Levy....................$10,302,855 • Mill Rate........................3.53 (down from 3.62 in 2020) • Invested $750,000 into road infrastructure • No changes in entitlement spending

with bleach. They returned to Minnesota the following day.

WITNESS1 said Endres had called and warned him that law enforcement had questioned him and that they may be coming to talk to him as well. He said Endres called him from his local fire department, knowing law enforcement would most likely be monitoring his phone activity.

WITNESS1 concluded the interview saying he and Endres had not talked about the incident for several years as it brought about bad memories/feelings.

Allegedly he said they left the scene because both were scared and didn’t know what to do. He said they had been drinking, but did not feel they were intoxicated. To his knowledge, KKL was the only person Endres told about the incident and WITNESS1 had never told anyone before that day.

According to Polk County Sheriff, Brent Waak, Endres was taken into custody Oct. 21, 2020.

In an Oct. 22 news conference, Waak thanked the victims’ families for believing in the process that had brought them to this day. He also thanked the media in attendance. “Your news coverage 10 months ago is a big part of why we are here today,” Waak said.

Tribal police chief Frank Taylor said, “Oct. 21 was a good day. I received a call from the Sheriff who wanted to share information with me that I had been waiting on for a very long time. The day got better as the families of Ben and Richard arrived to meet with the investigators and staff who had put so much effort into this case and to see the reaction of family members will stick with me the rest of my life.”

Taylor said it is his belief the strength and courage of the family who put their emotions on camera 10 months ago that had a huge influence on this case.

Polk County district attorney Jeff Kemp said his role in this has just begun. The next steps are extraditing Endres to Polk County from Minnesota for an initial appearance, where bond will be set, followed by a preliminary hearing to determine Probable Cause.

If convicted, Endres could spend 50 years in prison.

Cobenais’ son Fowler spoke once again, like he did 10 months ago. He said, “Emotions are running high right now.”

He thanked law enforcement for everything they have done.

Fowler said it wasn’t only the victims’ families that have been impacted, but the families of the men responsible for the incident too. Fowler said, “I am going to ask that everyone be respectful of all families in this case. The last thing we need is hate, anger and negativity.”

The pills that kill

W

e all grew up knowing about American exceptionalism in all aspects of life. A recent court decision, about two decades in the making, may change your thoughts on that troupe.

When was the last time you saw a commercial for medication?

You know those commercials with the women at a desk acting like she is bloated and the bloated opioid comes out from behind a tree and explains that it is difficult to go to the bathroom because of all the opioids. She inexplicably ends up with a big smile in a kayak in the middle of a beautiful lake.

It’s called opioid induced constipation. Don’t worry, there’s a pill for it.

I asked a nurse, my sister-in-law, about this once and she said, “It’s probably better to take less opioids than take a new pill to take care of the blockage created by the opioids.”

Sentinel Again, no medical degree, but I crushed that question. This all Editor came back to me after Purdue Jonathan Richie Pharma – the OxyContin cartel – found their way back into the news and a federal court case.

Last week, Purdue Pharma finally got the book thrown at them after ruining millions of lives. The company agreed to plead guilty to three federal charges, linked to marketing and distribution of OxyContin. They also have to pay $8.34 billion in the settlement.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week, “(Purdue Pharma) assets fall well short of $8 billion.

It will pay the federal government $225 million, and much of the rest of the fines will be waived to allow more money to flow to states, counties and tribes that accuse Purdue of sparking widespread opioid addiction and deaths.”

The Sackler family, Purdue Pharma owners, were drug peddlers from 1996 to last year. They’d get people addicted to these painkiller pills, which are basically heroin, and it killed people. I’ve lost friends in college from this stuff and not even $8 billion seems like enough.

“Purdue Pharma actively thwarted the United States’ efforts to ensure compliance and prevent diversion,” said Drug Enforcement Administration Assistant Administrator Tim McDermott. “The devastating ripple effect of Purdue’s actions left lives lost and others addicted.”

The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported in 2018, 128 people in the United States died after overdosing on opioids, every day. In 2017, more than 27,000 Americans died as a result of opioid addiction.

According to the institute based in Maryland in 2017, “an estimated 1.7 million people in the United States suffered from substance use disorders related to prescription opioid pain relievers, and 652,000 suffered from a heroin use disorder (not mutually exclusive).”

I sat in the Waukesha County Courtroom for work years ago. There was a guy about my age set for a plea hearing. He had started dealing opioids in the

Like the bug in the rug

H

appy Halloween to you and farewell to Daylight Saving Time this weekend.

Saturday is a big night — Halloween, a full moon and the end of Daylight Saving Time.

I saw a meme earlier this month that we had a full moon in early March, the start of coronavirus and Daylight Saving Time and now we are having a full moon at the end of October at the end of Daylight Saving Time. The meme suggested that perhaps this meant we could “reset to normal conditions.”

Last week’s weather extremes got me thinking about my childhood.

From the Publisher’s My wife and I had been diligently chipping away at the leaves in our Desk yard, mulching them up as they came down. The leaves were wonderful Tom Stangl this year, weren’t they?

A h As I was pushing the mower, I was enjoying the color of the leaves and recalling the times as a child when I was asked to help rake the leaves.

Like many children before me and many after me, I was interested in raking leaves into a pile and then jumping in and running through the pile. My father, Arved (aka “The Chief”), who treasured his limited free time (he worked five and a half days a week), had little patience for such frivolity. Leaves were another job to be tackled as efficiently and as quickly as possible. I was asked to work, not play.

As I learned raking leaves needed to be work and not fun, I lost my “passion” for the job and wandered off to do something else.

Last week before the snowfall as I mulched leaves, I felt the same way. I really enjoyed looking at the colors, cleaning them up, not so much.

When the snow arrived last Tuesday, I fired up the snow blower to clear the sidewalk. It was the first time I had run it since the spring and it started on the second try, a win in my book. It was still snowing as I blew (squeezed?) the heavy, wet snow off the sidewalk.

It was a strange sight to see bright leaves come out of my snow blower.

2020 has been a strange year. Why would I expect things to be normal in October?

As a child, I spent lots of time outside playing in the snow. Did I ever take the time to scoop the sidewalk?

Nope. The Chief had to do the shoveling after standing on concrete for nine hours working on cars and trucks.

Playing in the snow is fun, keeping the sidewalks safe and clear is work. Work, no matter what age you are, is rarely fun.

I decided that leaves and snow are much more fun when you are a child.

I did experience one feeling that is common to children and adults after a snow storm — the feeling of being snug and cozy at home while it snows outside.

There’s something very special about the warm feeling of security one has being safe and sound. It’s a universal feeling I think and I know the lure of being home and safe is a siren’s call to me, especially when I am outside moving snow.

Here’s hoping the weather gets back to whatever passes for “normal” these days.

Enjoy your extra hour of sleep this weekend.

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.

The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.

Porcupine Meatballs Give your kids a big scare this Halloween and serve them something freaky before they head out trick or treating.

My mom used to make porcupine meatballs all the time. For years, I thought they were porcupine meat.

I decided I REALLY liked porcupine and never questioned it. I thought I was a cool kid who ate exotic wild game that most people ran from.

Then, one day, when I was old enough Wild Chow to help my mom cook dinner, I saw the truth. I realized I’d been lying to my Lisa Erickson grade school friends and I wasn’t the cool kid who ate porcupine for dinner.

I was boring just like everyone else.

Ground beef is boring when you’re 9-years-old.

A few weeks ago, my brother called me and asked for mom’s recipe for porcupine meatballs. I told him there is no recipe and it’s super simple. I didn’t think about it again until last week my sister sent me a photo of her eating porcupine meatballs.

I hadn’t made this recipe for a couple of years—I’d forgotten about it. There are a million and one other things to cook that have a little more pizzazz. But what I forgot about was the nostalgia behind those meatballs and how many memories they hold for me.

One of my sons came home last weekend. I rambled off a list of things I could cook for him and I included porcupine meatballs—since it was on my mind. Guess what he picked?

I’m sure my mom liked them because it was a cheap, fast, and tasty meal. I’m sure she didn’t realize the

memories she was creating. Sometimes keeping things simple and giving it a cool name is enough to make it a family favorite. ** After doing a little research, I discovered that porcupine meatballs were a depression-era staple for many families. They were called “porcupine” because the rice sticking out made the meatballs look like little porcupines. Traditionally, the meatballs were covered in tomato soup, which my mother did not like, so she used cream of mushroom soup. The cream of mushroom soup made a lovely gravy and she always served the meatballs with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Feel free to experiment and make your own gravy or pick a different canned soup.

Porcupine meatballs — Serves 4 1 lb. ground beef 1 small onion, chopped ½ cup rice ½ cup water Salt and pepper to taste 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 cup of milk 4 cups hot mashed potatoes In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the rice and water.

Cover and cook for 7-8 minutes on high until all the water is absorbed.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, salt and pepper, and par-cooked rice. Mix until combined.

Form into 12 meatballs.

In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, fry the meatballs, browning on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the pan and add the soup and milk; whisk to combine. Add the meatballs back to the soup mixture

PILLS: Listen to the doctor, not the pharma mascot CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

county drug rehab program. He said he had overdosed twice. He told the judge he would have never started using opioids or heroin if OxyContin was prescribed to him after a motorcycle accident.

Just think about that - you’re 20 years old, have a job, mortgage and

the motorcycle accident you get into doesn’t kill you — but the pain medication might.

Did you know that only the United States and New Zealand are the only countries where pharmaceutical companies are allowed to advertise?

That doesn’t make any sense.

We should be like other countries

where you tell the doctor you have a problem and they’ll tell you what, if anything, you should be taking. We all would be better off not listening to the television tell you about a new wonder pill that may worsen your condition, give you terrible side effects or even cause you to take your own life.

and cover the pan; simmer over low heat for 10 minutes covered.

To serve, spoon the mashed potatoes onto the plate first. Place three meatballs on the mashed potatoes spoon gravy over the top. Serve with green beans.

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

The HSBC annual report is now up on the website and Facebook page for your review. Meet the board, peruse the animal statistics, and find out more about what HSBC has been up to this past year.

Kalico came to HSBC a as a stray and is ready ffor a place of her own. As h her name suggests, she iis a short-haired calico c cat with grey eyes. Kalico iis two-years-young and e enjoys looking out the w window, sitting on high p perches, and playing w with feather toys. She iis a friendly girl, mediu um-sized (about nine Kalico pounds), and would love to share a home with you!

Now that her daughter, Claire, has found herself a new home, it is Kate’s turn! Kate is a one-and-a-halfyear-old grey-blue pitbull with white accents and matching eyes. This 48-pound girl is not just a pretty face; she is a gentle, friendly soul who is eager to please. She would love a family to provide her with guidance and love!

The weather turned cold while everyone’s back was turned! Keep in mind that if you have short-haired dogs like Kate, if you’re cold, they’re cold! Very young and very old dogs have difficulty regulating their body temperatures and often get cold very quickly. Short dogs chill faster than their leggier Kate companions because they are closer to the ground, losing heat to the environment. A sweater, turnout blanket, or other dog fashions are not just for looks; they help keep vital organs warm and healthy!

The housekeeping staff for the HSBC residents could use some bleach, brooms, dustpans, and rubbing alcohol. Remember: if you can not drop off items at the door, you can always order online and have items direct shipped to the shelter. Thanks for helping take care of the homeless pets!

Chippewa River bow hunt AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, This is one of those all over the map kind of stories. In a nutshell, I headed over to Pepin and Buffalo Counties near Durand to camp, travel by canoe and hunt deer with a compound bow. Crazy as it may sound my goal was to harvest a doe not a buck. I have been having some great hunts in my food plot and passed on a good looking 10-pointer two nights in a row just before I left for this hunt. In simple terms, unless I saw a really nice buck, I did not want my buck tag to be filled quite yet.

Saturday, October 10 High 63, low 44 So, here is the plan I build camp, my four-year-old golden retriever Ruby is my companion. On a side note, Ruby would have been due this week had I had her bred back in August. Realizing that the pups would be born in the peak of my busy season I had to pass. If you want a pup let me know, come spring she should be a mama.

So, this would be the third fall that I have explored this vast area of public land and I actually spent the night in a tree here in July scouting out this spot. I have been dreaming about returning with a bow and my canoe for months.

Here comes the bad news. I paddle to where I am going to do a very short hike to what is a natural deer funnel and a small but very good spot to hunt. I set my stand down at the tree I am going to put it in, and I am about as happy as I can be. All of a sudden, I feel the presence of a human. I look and here comes the same fella that I met last fall at this exact same spot.

He is carrying a cross bow and has permission to cross through some private land, so he actually has a short walk. Just like last year I am informed that he has had a trail camera at this location all fall and I am supposed to assume that even though it is public, he is the owner.

Like a fool I chose to walk away without a negative word, just like I did last year.

Monday, October 12 High 61, low 43 One of my main thrills on this type of trip is the challenge of not using lights in the forest when hiking in the dark or paddling in the dark, you would be amazed if you just trust yourself how easy this can actually work. Today I made an executive decision. Since I lost my spot, I am making this a five-day trip instead of three. Back in the late 80s and early 90s when I did not have a home I basically went from trip to trip, hand wrote and snail mailed this column, and went to a one hour film developing business and made photos which I also snail mailed to everyone.

I loved that era of this career, after my “paperwork” was done I headed my trusty pickup in the

direction of the next adventure.

Before I paddle away from camp in the dark long before dawn, I throw a softball as far as I can several times and Ruby always finds it. I repeat this game even before bed and that is all Ruby asks for.

Last year I saw a five-point buck several times and he appeared to hangout in a small area. I swear that today I saw my old buddy in the same area and acting just like he did last year. He is now an 8-pointer with a massive body and not a big rack, maybe 14-inches. I could have made an easy shot on him but as I said earlier, I want to hunt my food plot, but it would have been so cool to paddle back to camp with a buck in the canoe.

Here is a crazy story, I had not driven my truck in four days but had a 140-watt inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter. I use this

to charge cameras, headlamps, and my phone. Today I opened the door to my truck and could smell that ugly faint smell of an electrical fire about to happen.

Something went wrong with the inverter and it was literally melting a charger and its cord. I picked it up without hesitation and literally melted the end of two of my fingernails. Long story short had it been an hour later I think my truck that now has 311,000 miles would have been gone as gone gets.

Another interesting note is that on a recent duck hunt camping trip I kind of beat the bajeezas out of my flip phone and it died, and I lost all 370 of my contacts. Text me your number if you know me! I would destroy a smart phone faster than snow melts in May! Sunset.

OBITUARIES

Wanda Petersen

Craig R. Bugella

Laura M. Jensen (Bystrom)

Wanda Petersen passed away unexpectedly in a tragic car accident on Oct. 21, 2020, at the age of 53.

Wanda was born on March 13, 1967 in St. Paul, Minn., to Edward and Elizabeth Evelyn (Lynch) Peterse en. The family later moved tto Belton, Texas, where she g graduated high school.

Wanda married Chris V Vorhies in 1983; they had ttwo children, Christopher a and Jennifer, and later d divorced.

She later attended Rasm mussen Business College, sstudying cosmetology and a accounting. Over the years, sshe was employed with IImation and U.S. Bank, but she identified most with her greatest calling and born identity – being a stay-at-home mom (and eventually grandma, her favorite role).

Wanda was known for her unique, zany sense of humor and life-of-the-party personality! She had a contagious laugh, and she was delighted whenever she could get others to laugh. She was just plain fun to be around, a much-loved “kid at heart” who cared deeply about her family and friends.

Wanda was a talented gardener and was naturally creative – she loved sparkle and bling and enjoyed makeup and all things “girly”. Most of all, she was also known for her strength, kindness, tenderheartedness, and compassion. Even if she had little, she happily shared whatever she had with others.

She loved camping, boating, biking, shopping, playing pool, pull-tabs, and more – she had a flair for partying and making sure everyone had a good time.

Wanda had a huge, unforgettable personality and wasn’t afraid to share her opinion about anything, from patriotism to politics! But most of all, her love for her kids and deep devotion to her grandkids shone above all else – she was truly happiest when her kids and her grandkids were all together around her.

Wanda is preceded in death by her grandfather Nells George Petersen (Eleanor), father Edward Petersen, mother Elizabeth Petersen, and two grandsons, Quinten and Sebastian Beckman.

Wanda is lovingly remembered by her sister Brenda Petersen, brother Edward Petersen, daughter Jennifer Beckman (Mark), and son Christopher Vorhies. She was the devoted grandma to Collin Vorhies and to Kayden, Coaltyn, Treison, Sevayah, Quarbin, and Eisley Beckman (and another little Beckman on the way).

As deer activity increases, drivers need to slow down, be alert

CONTRIBUTED

NACF founder Renee Nanez (left) and chair-elect Jennifer Turrentine (right).

NACF founder stepping away FREDERIC–– It all began with the flicker of an idea and a deep desire to support and improve the quality of life for our communities and their residents. The Northwest Alliance Community Foundation (NACF), an affiliate of the St. Croix Valley Foundation, was founded in November 2013 by Reneé Nañez and a small group of dedicated people to “nurture dreams and possibilities” in northern Polk and Burnett counties.

Under the enthusiastic leadership of Reneé, much has been accomplished over the past seven years.

NACF has become a charitable resource by educating donors and creating a flexible vehicle for donations by individuals, nonprofit organizations and communities.

With the goal to address current and future needs, the community foundation has developed permanent endowment and legacy funds totaling $500,000 to ensure sustained giving and community building. In a more visible role as a grantmaker, NACF has awarded nearly $48,000 in grants over the past five years to 40 local nonprofits.

Like everyone everywhere, 2020 has also been challenging for NACF. The community foundation has concentrated its efforts this year on grantmaking activities to support the extraordinary work of area nonprofits. NACF participated financially in The COVID-19 Response Fund for the St. Croix Valley created by the St. Croix Valley Foundation and United Way. The first wave of these grants distributed $525,000 to 98 nonprofit organizations, up and down the St. Croix, responding to basic needs exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis.

In spring 2020, NACF awarded $5,200 in grants to four nonprofits in support of their work with youth and families, and Northwest Passage received a grant through the NACF Environmental Fund to build bike storage shelters. This fall, seven area school districts including Webster, Grantsburg, Siren, Frederic, Luck, Unity, and St. Croix Falls received $1,000 each to help create and support safe learning environments during this time of COVID-19.

Founder and current board chair Reneé Nañez is stepping away from the NACF Board at the end of October. “She leaves huge shoes to fill,” said chair-elect Jennifer Turrentine. The board including Mark Buley, Chris Byerly, Gary Gerds, Patti Hurd, Nancy Martin, Lisa Murphy, Tracey Nooner, and Jerry Tischer, expresses gratitude to Reneé for her vision and leadership, and is excited to carry on the mission and vision of the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), State Patrol and partner law enforcement agencies are reminding motorists to be alert for the potential of deer darting across roadways during upcoming weeks. Deer/vehicle crashes typically peak during the October and November “rutting” period when bucks pursue potential mates.

“The best strategy to protect yourself and minimize the chance of hitting a deer is to buckle up, slow down and watch the road ahead carefully,” said David Pabst, Director of WisDOT’s Bureau of Transportation Safety. “Deer can be seen any time of day, but they’re especially active around dusk and dawn.”

Last year in Wisconsin, there were 18,414 reported deer/vehicle crashes that resulted in injuries to 556 motorists and nine fatalities (six were motorcyclists).

Counties with higher traffic volumes and deer populations tend to record the most crashes. A county-by-county breakdown indicates Dane County had the most reported deer/vehicle crashes in Wisconsin last year with 859, followed by Waukesha County with 823 and Washington County with 758.

To avoid deer crashes and motorist injuries, WisDOT offers the following tips: • Slow down, eliminate distractions, and make sure all vehicle occupants are buckled up.

• If you see one deer cross in front of you, watch for more. One long blast from your vehicle’s horn may frighten the deer away.

• If a collision with a deer is unavoidable, brake firmly and stay in your lane. Avoid sudden swerving which can result in a loss of vehicle control and a more serious crash. If you hit a deer: • Get your vehicle safely off the road if possible and call law enforcement. Be prepared to describe your specific location.

• It’s generally safest to stay buckled-up inside your vehicle. Walking along a highway is always dangerous as you could be struck by another vehicle.

• Don’t attempt to move an injured deer.

The increase in deer activity this time of year also results in more car-killed-deer along Wisconsin roadways. WisDOT works with private vendors, county highway departments and law enforcement to handle deer carcass removal along numbered highways (the state highway system). Counties are responsible for removing deer carcasses along county highways. Municipalities handle deer carcass removal along local roads. To report car-killed-deer: • Deer carcasses on the active, traveled portion of a highway represent an urgent safety hazard and should be reported by calling 911; • If the carcass is off the traveled portion of the roadway, contact the appropriate county sheriff’s department using the agency’s non-emergency phone number; • To facilitate the efficient and prompt removal of a deer carcass, provide specific location information such as proximity to a mile post, intersecting highway, exit or mailbox number.

Drivers are reminded to move over or slow down when approaching stopped emergency responders, tow trucks and highway maintenance vehicles including crews removing deer carcasses. More information on the Car-Killed-Deer program can be found on the WisDOT website.

Webster gets win in OT JONATHAN RICHIE SPORTS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

CONTRIBUTED

The Grantsburg boys cross country team was able to win the Lakeland Conference and had an exceptional performance at Sectionals allowing them to punch their ticket to the state final on Saturday.

After four quarters, Webster and Rib Lake/Prentice were tied at 14-14. The Tigers needed just a few more minutes to pick up a victory in overtime.

Rib Lake/Prentice (RLP) got on the board first with a rushing touchdown in the first quarter. The Tigers responded with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Austin Sigfrids to Gage Rossow in the second quarter. Both teams were successful in their respective two-point conversions.

Grantsburg boys win conference championship, headed to state JONATHAN RICHIE SPORTS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Grantsburg had to run through the snow as they advanced from the sub-sectional and now the boys team is headed to state.

The sub-sectional was held in Webster during the first snow storm of the season. The team then raced at the sectional at Cameron over the weekend with stellar performances.

Grantsburg Juniors Will Gerber, Chase Doornink and Brody Bongaarts finished first, second and third at Cameron on Saturday.

They will race in West Salem this weekend as they look to bring home a state title.

Earlier in October the boys team won the conference championship.

“The team has tried so hard this season and they are trusting the process and their training as we continue to see them improve times and performances. These boys are determined and focused leading into the Sectional meet Saturday,” coach Natalie Doorn-

ink said.

The girls team season ended at the sub-sectional in Webster. The team battled throughout the season to overcome injuries and other setbacks.

“Leading the girls in the begin-

ning of the season was Ayla Meyer who did not run Sub Sections due to injury precautions. Alexis Slater had a previous basketball injury and recently had surgery to repair her ACL/Meniscus. The girls team has a strong bond and work ethic and have continued to train hard and work toward PR's each and every race. We did not have a full girls team for Sub Sections, but Tristin Kreuser-Peterson, Cassidy Troff, and Alex Kammeyer all finished their season strong at Sub Sections and will always remember their snowy final race of the season.”

Doornink was proud of both teams after her first season as coach.

“I am proud of the girls and boys teams – it has been a season of growth for both teams,” Doornink said. “We have a strong program and a strong tradition in this sport. I am all in with this group and desire to see them succeed – on and off the course. They are a deserving group with unlimited opportunities.”

Grantsburg defeats Webster to become Regional champions KAYLA CASEY SPORTS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The Grantsburg Pirates volleyball team faced off against the Webster Tigers (who they are co-conference champions with) on Saturday in the Regional finals game. They played all five sets, with each set having a close score. After some hard work, the Pirates were able to pull through and bring the win home, becoming Regional champions.

Webster celebrates on the sideline following the game-winning touchdown run by CJ Abbas.

Going into the half the game was tied 8-8. Then in the fourth quarter RLP scored again but was unable to convert the two-point conversion.

The Tigers responded with another touchdown pass from Sigfrids to Rossow with a little over two minutes on the clock. They were unable to make the extra point so the game went into overtime.

“Austin Sigfrids made plays when he had to and Gage Rossow came down with two great catches in the end zone,” Smith said.

In overtime, Sigfrids found fullback Evan Sikorski, who was wide open on the sideline. CJ Abbas ran nine yards for a touchdown on the next play.

Webster coach Andy Smith said the quality play started with his assistant coaches putting together a solid game plan for Friday night.

For the Tigers, CJ Abbas and Mason Gustafson combined for 194 rushing yards.

“Anytime that you can run the ball like that you need to thank the offensive line,” Smith said.

“Brady Madsen, Chase Cadott, Tristian Benjamin, Tim Fornengo and Mason Getts did a great job of opening holes for CJ Abbas. CJ is improving every week and is doing a nice job of lowering his pad level on contact.”

On defense, Rossow and Sikorski both had 10 tackles and both pulled down an interception. Gustafson led the team with 12 tackles. “(He) was all over the field defensively,” Smith commented. “You could tell that he spent some time in the film room this week.”

Webster will host Unity on Friday for a big conference matchup. Smith said his team will be focused on tackling and mental focus this week in practice.

Tigers defeated in regional match-up against Pirates KAYLA CASEY SPORTS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Before the Tigers volleyball team had to take on the Pirates in the regional finals, they first had to defeat Shell Lake in the semi-finals on Thursday night. They played the game at home and managed to win another 3-0 match-up.

The first set against Shell Lake started out close with a score of 11-9 until Kelsey Kidder began her serving streak, beginning a seven-point run which gave the Tigers a nice lead of 18-9. Shell Lake was not able to come back from that and the set ended with a score of 25-14.

In the second set, the first run was started by Hannah Janssen, putting six points on the board and giving the Tigers a lead of 7-2. Lauren Hetfeld started off the next run, serving five in a row and putting the lead to 17-7. Shell Lake was able to put up nine more points before the game ended with a score of 25-16.

The final set began with back and forth points, but the Tigers were able to get another strong lead of 16-7 and Shell Lake found it hard to come back from that lead. The final set ended with a score of 25-16. Tigers’ coach Stefanie Janssen said, “We played a strong, well-rounded game with everyone on the court making important contributions.�

Digs on the night were led by Kidder (11) and Torrance Wols (7). Lauren Hetfeld and Janssen led the team with assists, with Hetfeld having 19 and Janssen having 11. The Tigers were able to achieve a high amount of kills which were led by Brooke Hetfeld (13), Summer Winkler (10) and Ava Washburn (8). Both Wols and Lauren Hetfeld had three aces on the night while blocks were had by Brooke Hetfeld (5), Winkler (2), Washburn (2) and Janssen (2).

After a big win against Shell Lake, the Tigers moved up to take on Grantsburg in the Regional finals on Saturday. All of the sets had very close scores, but the Tigers were just not able to clinch the win, leaving the match with a score of 3-2.

The girls played some good sets and their statistics on the night show that. The Tigers were able to achieve 62 kills, which were led by Washburn (19), Brooke Hetfeld (15) and Winkler (15). They also achieved 11 aces which were done by Wols (4), Winkler (3), Kidder (2), Lauren Hetfeld (1) and Washburn (1). A total of 60 digs were also done that night which were led by Kidder (17) and Wols (12). Hannah Janssen and Lauren Hetfeld were on fire that night with assists with Janssen having 31 assists and Hetfield having 24. “Although this is clearly not how we wanted our season to end, I am very proud of how the girls played. They played a season they should be very proud of.�

‘Tough game’ for young dragons JONATHAN RICHIE SPORTS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The Dragons struggled to keep up with Shell Lake Friday night.

The Lakers scored early and often in the 60-14 win over Siren.

Shell Lake was able to score 38 points in the first quarter. Siren turned the ball over three times in the games including an early lost fumble that quickly turned into a touchdown for the Lakers.

Siren put their first points of the game on the board in the second quarter with a touchdown, thanks to a quarterback sneak by Nick Webster.

The score remained 38-8 until the third quarter when Shell Lake went on another scoring spree.

The fourth quarter started 50-8.

Webster was instrumental in the second score of the evening for the Dragons with a red zone touchdown pass to Casey Goranson for his first career touchdown reception.

Siren head coach Ryan Karsten summed it up after the game. “It was a tough game for my young dragons,� he said.

The Grantsburg Pirates and Hurley Northstars were ready to play on Friday night when the crowd noticed their were no referees present.

An hour after the scheduled start time, the game was postponed. The teams will meet in Hurley this Friday to make up the game.

The referees were double-booked on Friday night. During the hour there

There were some bright spots on defense such as Taedon Nichols leading the team with 11 tackles.

Webster recorded seven tackles as a defensive back and Lukas Pettis and Wyatt D’Jock both had six tackles.

Along with his first touchdown catch, Goranson had a career high for receiving yards (67 yards) and receptions (8) in a game.

Karsten said the team will

continue to work on tackling, rushing the ball and understanding situations on the defensive side of the ball as they prepare for Prairie Farm this week. “We are looking forward to getting to play Prairie Farm, a game that was postponed earlier this year,� Karsten concluded. “I am looking for continued improvement this week from last week.�

conference. It is an honor to share the conference title with them.�

Allaman-Johnson explained that the first time they played Webster this season, the Tigers were not full strength and the Pirates won in four sets.

When they competed a second time, the Pirates were not in full strength and the Tigers won in four sets. “This time, we were both ready to go and it was a battle. It is always our goal to win, but when we get to high level play-offs, our goal is to play hard and as well as we can so we can hold our heads high win or lose, and so that we will be seen as a respected and worthy opponent.�

was little communication between the fans in the stands and officials.

The Northstars made the three-hour trip from Hurley to Grantsburg just to have to go back without playing a game.

The Pirates were scheduled to play Flambeau this week but that game has been cancelled. Flambeau will be playing Ladysmith as a makeup game from the first week of the season.

Grantsburg and Hurley remain the only undefeated teams in the Lakeland Conference.

Knowing that Webster is strong on the serve receive, Allaman-Johnson knew that they would not get many points just on serving, and that proved to be correct. The Pirates were only able to ace the Tigers twice all night while they were aced nine times. “The goal was to get them out of system so they could not rely so heavily on their powerful hitters. It was effective at times, but they still got great kills from Brooke Hetfeld, Ava Washburn, Kelsey Kidder, and Summer Winkler. It helped that our blockers really stepped up this time, because we are still improving on defense. Tiffany Gronski had four block assists, Jordan Java had

three blocks plus they all had several good deflections that kept the ball aloft. We had three hitters in double digit kills (Java, Alli Peterson, Hanne Johnson), and Johnson had a statistical triple double with kills, digs, and assists. Sadye Bunting played great defense with 15 digs, and all of our back-row players came up with some amazing saves on hard hits. Jadyn Watt, Amy Harmon, Cate Lee, and Lainie Thoreen served tough balls that at least earned us some free balls occasionally.�

After defeating Webster and earning the Regional title, the Pirates are now preparing for their sectional game against Marathon on Thursday.

They are studying some of their film to see what they can do, but Allaman-Johnson said that films can sometimes be deceiving, and hitters are often much more powerful and quick in-person. “At this point of the season, our only goal is to be healthy and compete as hard as we can. We are so amazed and grateful to have even had a season at all, that we deeply appreciate every opportunity to get in the gym.

We embrace the notion of "play well and stay well� and wish that to all of our opponents.�

BUSINESS MEETING OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION – SCHOOL DISTRICT OF GRANTSBURG Minutes from September 14, 2020

NOTICE OF REFERENDUM VILLAGE OF GRANTSBURG November 3, 2020

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that at an election to be held in the Village of Grantsburg on November 3, 2020, the following AIRPORT ADVISORY REFERENDUM will be submitted to a vote of the people.

The question will appear on the ballot as follows: EXPLANATION

The blacktop runway at the Grantsburg Municipal Airport is 30+ years old, has large cracks and is deteriorating.

The Federal and State Bureaus of Aeronautics offer assistance for major airport projects with 95% of the cost paid by the Bureaus. Reconstruction of the existing blacktop runway and taxiways with replacement of the runway lights (Reconstruction Project), is estimated to be approximately $1,425,000. The Village’s 5% cost would be approximately $75,000. The Village will receive $20,000 from the WI CARES ACT funding that can be applied to the 5% cost bringing the Village’s share down to $55,000. If funding is accepted from the Federal and State Bureaus of Aeronautics, the following assurances must be agreed to: 1. The assurances remain in effect for the useful life of the project, but not to exceed 20 years.

2. All Federal laws, regulations, executive orders, policies, guidelines and requirements will be followed as they relate to the application, acceptance and use of funds.

3. The Village of Grantsburg (Village) agrees to have suf¿cient funds available for 5% of the project or $55,000 ($75,000 less $20,000 WI CARES ACT funding).

4. The Village owns the airport property and will continue to own and operate the airport unless approval is applied for and given by the State of Wisconsin Secretary of Transportation (Secretary).

5. The Village consulted with users of the airport, held public hearings for the public to attend, has implemented an effective airport pavement maintenance-management program and will use this program for the useful life of any pavement construct.

6. The airport will be operated in a safe and serviceable condition and in accordance with the minimum standards as may be required or prescribed by applicable Federal, state and local agencies for maintenance and operation. Any proposal to temporarily close the airport for non-aeronautical purposes must ¿rst be approved by the Secretary.

7. The Village will maintain a fee and rental structure, for the facilities and services at the airport, which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible. No part of the Federal share of an airport project shall be included in the rate basis in establishing fees, rates and charges for users of that airport.

8. All revenues generated by the airport will be expended by the Village for airport capital or operating costs. The Village’s annual audit will review and provide an opinion concerning use of airport revenue. These annual reports will be submitted to the Secretary.

9. The airport will always be made available , without charge, to Government aircraft.

10. The Airport Layout Plan will be kept up to date.

If this referendum passes and the Village Board votes to move forward with the Reconstruction Project, the work would be performed in 2022.

If this referendum does not pass, the Village Board will explore other options for repairing the existing blacktop runway.

Closing the airport is not being considered!

INFORMATION TO VOTERS Upon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address, show an acceptable form of photo identi¿cation and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter does not have acceptable photo identi¿cation, the voter may obtain a free photo ID for voting from the Division of Motor Vehicles. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence if the voter provides proof of residence. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth or machine and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election of¿cial may inform the voter of the

proper manner for casting a vote, but the of¿cial may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

Voting for President and Vice President A vote for candidates for President and Vice President is a vote for the presidential electors of those candidates. A writein vote for President and Vice President must designate the name of a presidential candidate. A write-in vote for a candidate for President only will be counted. A write-in vote for a candidate for Vice President only will not be counted.

Where Paper Ballots are Used The voter shall make an (X) or other mark in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each of¿ce for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. When voting for President and Vice President, the voter shall make an (X) or other mark next to the set of candidates (ticket) for president and vice president for whom he or she intends to vote. To vote for a Presidential ticket that does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the names of persons of his or her choice in the spaces provided.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than ¿ve minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth.

Sample ballots or other materials to assist the voter in marking his or her ballot may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

Spoiled Ballots If a voter spoils a paper or optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an election of¿cial who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall

be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election of¿cial who shall issue a proper ballot in its place.

The voter may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.

After Voting the Ballot After an of¿cial paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so that the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors’ initials on the outside do show. The voter shall then deposit his or her folded ballot in the proper ballot box or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit and leave the polling place promptly.

After an of¿cial touch screen ballot is cast, the voter shall leave the polling place promptly.

A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter declares to the presiding of¿cial that he or she is unable to read, has dif¿culty reading, writing, or understanding English, or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an of¿cer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter.

Soaking in the goodness of creation

Pastor Bill Schroeder A & H Lakeside Lutheran Church

I don’t need to remind any of you that we live in a very busy world that is filled with noise.

Our phones, the radio in our vehicle, and the television are only some of the sounds we hear on a daily basis. We have become programed to a need for some human invention to break the silence in our surroundings.

If you want to see a group of people become very uncomfortable, I only need to tell my parishioners that we are going to spend five minutes in silent prayer. One minute of silence seems like an eternity and five minutes will drive most of the congregation over the deep edge. They may frown at a noisy toddler, but complete silence will do them in. Most of us

struggle with the ability to be still and soak in the goodness of God. We live in a society that places a great emphasis on being on the go and getting things done. There is nothing wrong with being driven, but it can take us to a place of complete exhaustion. A healthy life needs balance and there is a time and place when we need to stop and smell the roses.

For me, being in the woods is the place where I am able to let go of all the clutter in my brain and allow the refreshing power of God’s Spirit revive my soul. Nature is an amazing healer of many ills. Perhaps it is an inherited trait as both my father and grandfather loved the woods. A neighbor of my grandpas once

found my grandfather lying motionless in a pile of leaves on the forest floor. The neighbor thought he was dead, but grandpa was just taking a nap. When I came home from school and I could not find my father in the barn I would head to the woods. Most often I would find my dad sitting on a stump and quietly enjoying the sights and sounds of nature.

The sun is shining and it is a beautiful fall day in the north woods. I hear my tree stand calling me to come and sit. Be still my child, come and soak in the goodness of God’s creation.

Stages of Breast Cancer You may have heard someone talk about their cancer in stages. This is the level of progression to which the cancer has spread. The stage of the cancer at detection often determines the treatment.

In breast cancer, the stage is based on the size and location of the primary tumor, the spread of the cancer, the tumor grade and whether certain biomarkers are present, the National Cancer Institute says. After you receive your diagnosis of breast cancer, doctors will perform tests such as biopsies, X-rays and various scans to see how far it’s spread.

Cancer can spread through tissue by growing into nearby areas, through the lymphatic system by spreading through lymph vessels to other parts of the body or through the blood. When cancer spreads to another part of the body, it’s called metastasis. The metastatic tumor is the same kind of cancer as the primary tumor. If breast cancer spreads to the bones, it’s metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.

There are three types of breast can-

cer stage groups. The clinical prognostic stage is the first stage for all patients based on health history, physical exam, imaging tests and biopsies. Mammography or ultrasounds can be used to check the lymph nodes for signs of cancer. In the pathological prognostic

stage, patients have surgery as their first treatment. It’s based on clinical information, biomarker status and lab results. The anatomic stage is based on the size and spread of the cancer. It’s used in parts of the world where biomarker testing is not available, which

doesn’t include the United States.

The TNM system — tumor, lymph node, metastatis — is used to describe cancers, including breast cancer. T values refer to the size of the tumor and range from TX, meaning the tumor can’t be assessed, to T4, meaning the tumor has grown into the skin or chest wall or is inflammatory. N values refer to the size and location of lymph nodes where the cancer has spread. When the lymph nodes are checked using mammography or ultrasound, it’s called clinical staging. M values show if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. M0 means it hasn’t; M1 means it has. Breast cancer most often spreads to the bones, lungs, liver or brain.

This system, along with grading that describes how quickly the tumor is likely to grow and spread, and biomarker testing is used to determine the breast cancer stage and the treatment of the cancer. Your doctor will be able to explain how your cancer was staged and discuss treatment options going forward.

YOUR BREASTS ARE Lowering your Cancer Risk THREE DIMENSIONAL. SHOULDN’T YOUR MAMMOGRAM BE? There are lots of factors that contribute to your risk of breast cancer, not just genetics or family history. Lower your risk for breast cancer by following these tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

KEEP A HEALTHY WEIGHT Try to keep your body mass index, or BMI, at between 18.5 and 24.9. This is a ratio or your weight to height, but it may not be accurate for all body types.

This is particularly true after menopause, the Susan G. Komen Foundation says. Talk to your health care professional about an ideal weight for you.

Don’t delay, schedule your mammogram today.

EXERCISE REGULARLY Physical activity helps you maintain a healthy weight, reduces risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, lowers your blood pressure, reduces your risk for stroke, can ease arthritis pain and reduce depression and anxiety. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week. Talk to your doctor before you begin an exercise regimen.

LIMIT ALCOHOLIC DRINKS Alcohol consumption raises the risk of cancer proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed, the CDC says. That means that the more you drink, the more at risk you are for breast cancer and other cancers. Limit drinks to one per day.

HORMONE REPLACEMENT therapy and Oral Contraceptives Women who take these kinds of replacement hormones can affect your risk of breast cancer. Talk to your

health care provider about the type of therapy or birth control you take and the associated risks.

BREASTFEED YOUR CHILDREN Mothers who breastfeed their children have a lower risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. The longer a woman breastfeeds, the greater the benefit.

Women how breastfed for a lifetime total of more than two years got the most benefit from the practice, the Susan G. Komen says. Breastfeeding may be particularly good at lowering the risk of estrogen receptor-negative cancers, which do not need hormones to grow.

If you have a high risk of breast cancer, there are options, Susan G. Komen says. These include risk lowering drugs such as tamoxifen or raloxifene or a prophylactic mastectomy. Talk to your doctor if you think these options are right for you.
