Farmers may be harvesting until Christmas JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Farmers are always at the mercy of the weather and this fall farmers across Burnett County are dealing with the extreme wetness in the soil and may be harvesting well into December. Supervisor Duane Johnson recently said that the average farmer in this re-

gion is about three-four weeks behind in the harvest where they normally would be. “I think most of the farmers will be busy until Christmas,” Johnson said. “The corn is wet and the fields are wet.” Johnson, a farmer in the Town of Dewey, said he will have to wait for the field to freeze before he can get onto the fields.

He added, “Some dairy farms were supposed to harvest in September and they just got to it last week.” SEE CROPS, PAGE 6 SENTINEL PHOTO

Farmers had to plant late-season corn in the spring and now they may be harvesting well into December.

A meth crisis quietly grows in Wisconsin PARKER SCHORR THE CAP TIMES

building is located on Industrial Avenue in Grantsburg right next to the original Enterprise building. Bryan Vilstrup of the Grantsburg Chamber made a few comments before the ceremony. He said that

Jess Przybylski had never really dealt with loss. Then the father of her children was killed in a car crash. In 2011, her friends offered her methamphetamine to distract from the grief. Soon after, Przybylski lost her job. Her two children were taken from her once, then once more when she was caught faking a drug test. A growing rap sheet eclipsed her college degree as she lost cars, relationships — and nearly her life. “It was a one-time thing, and that was it,” Przybylski, who lives in Chippewa Falls in northwest Wisconsin, says of her meth addiction. “It started out slow, but it was a pretty hard downward spiral for about five years … It gets to be where it just Jess Przybylski takes over your life and it's not fun anymore. It’s all you think about.” Like other amphetamines, meth elevates dopamine levels in the brain, creating a rush. But it is significantly more powerful than stimulants like cocaine, says Timothy Easker, director of Chippewa County Department of Human Services. Meth can keep individuals awake for days

McNally workers along with Grantsburg representatives gathered at the new Enterprise 2.1 building in Grantsburg for the official ribbon cutting ceremony and opening of the new facility which will be operated and leased by McNally Industries.

‘There’s a buzz in Grantsburg’ McNally facility seen as economically positive JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––“We are blessed to be a part of this business that has been around since 1942,” said McNally President and general manager Jim Segelstrom just

before they cut the ribbon in front of the new enterprise building. The Enterprise 2.1 building is a project funded by the Northwest Regional Planning Commission (NWRPC.) Last September, the NWRPC committee met in Grantsburg to discuss the project. The

METH: Cases in Wisconsin have ballooned by 450%; more money needed to combat CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

on end, causing psychosis and even organ failure. While the widely known opioid epidemic killed 3,800 people in Wisconsin between 2014 and 2018, a surge in meth use has quietly supplanted opioids in western and northern parts of the state, according to service providers and public health officials. The State Crime Laboratory handled 1,452 meth cases in 2018 — an increase of more than 450% since 2008. The number far exceeded the 1,055 heroin cases handled by the lab that year. Unlike some Midwestern states, where police shut down hundreds of meth labs a year, in Wisconsin, the problem is more hidden. Much of the meth used here originates in Mexico and is transported to the Twin Cities, according to a 2016 analysis of methamphetamine use and trafficking compiled by federal and state law enforcement officials. The drug can be in the form of powder, crystals or pills and can be smoked, snorted or injected. Sheila Weix, director of substance abuse services at Marshfield Clinic’s Family Health Center, says that when she started treating addiction in central and northern parts of the state in the 1980s, alcohol, “nerve” pills, marijuana, cocaine and heroin were the most common. Then, in the early 1990s, meth appeared. Its prevalence rose, then ebbed when the opioid epidemic hit. Now she is again seeing increasing numbers of people with meth addictions. Robert Morrison, executive director of the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors, says meth’s resurgence reminds him of the movie “Groundhog Day.” Iron-

ically, some people are using meth to help with withdrawal from opioids. Others are using it because it is cheap and available. “It’s about the buzz,” Easker says. “People use drugs for the buzz, and people get the most bang for their buck with (meth).”

han, clinical team manager at Journey Mental Health Center in Madison. Morrison says widespread addiction to pain pills and heroin prompted Congress to direct a “historic investment” to combat the opioid epidemic. According to federal budget figures, Congress has appro-

according to the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Unified Community Services, the mental health agency of Iowa and Grant counties, has received funding to fight opioid abuse, says agency director Jeff Lockhart. Grant guidelines require the funds

Jess Przybylski started using methamphetamine after the father of her children died in a car crash. During a ﬁveyear period, she lost custody of her two children twice, plus her job, cars and relationships. Przybylski is pictured outside of her home in Chippewa Falls with her children Zander, left, and Peyton.

FUNDING FOR HEROIN AND PILLS — BUT NOT METH Due to grant guidelines, the $63 million in state and federal dollars that have been released to combat opioid misuse cannot be used to mitigate this new crisis. Health care providers say they should be granted flexibility in how they use these funds. “It should be the providers who are in the trenches everyday that should have a voice in determining what the needs are,” says Saima Chau-

priated at least $6 billion in the past five years for prevention, treatment and research. Morrison says the influx of funding has been “tremendously helpful.” But his group of state substance abuse officials favors more flexible guidelines, saying states are in the best position to decide where to spend money. As it is, most people in Wisconsin who need substance use disorder treatment still do not receive it. Less than 10% of the 397,000 people with addictions from 2016 to 2017 got treatment,

be used only for opioid-use disorders. “We are very, very pleased to get those funds. Those allow us to do things we otherwise would have difficulty doing,” he says. “But in contrast … it leaves other substances without that same level of funding, so that does end up with a disparity.” About 40% of substance abuse prevention and treatment funds in Wisconsin flow from the federal government. The rest is awarded through county and state programs

such as Heroin, Opioid Prevention and Education. Although initial HOPE grants established several opioid treatment centers, recent grants have expanded treatment to include meth. A 2018 report by the state Commission on Substance Abuse Treatment Delivery recommended even looser restrictions, allowing treatment for any type of substance abuse. METH USE, CASES UP An estimated 22,000 people age 12 or older in Wisconsin used meth in 2016-17, according to the most recent federal drug use survey. Earlier surveys did not ask specifically about meth. Other states, including neighboring Minnesota and Iowa, have even higher rates of use. But meth use is surging in placing like Eau Claire County, where the number of meth-related jail bed days grew more than eightfold between 2011 to 2015. In neighboring Chippewa County, the rise in meth use is reflected in the numbers of children placed in out-ofhome care by Child Protective Services. In 2014, there were 28 children removed from their homes. By 2018, that number had grown to 115 children — 93% of whom were removed for reasons related to meth, says Kari Kerber, child and families manager for Chippewa County. Two of these children were placed in Marcie and Jerry Lindbom’s home in Chippewa Falls, placed in foster care because of their parents’ meth use. Marcie Lindbom sees the impact of meth at work, too. As a 4th grade teacher in the Chippewa Falls School District, she spends time each day dealing SEE METH, PAGE 22

McNally expansion is good for the region. “I applaud people that take this kind of risk to expand,” Vilstrup said. “This will lead to a positive economic impact. People know in this community business is expanded here. There’s a buzz in Grantsburg.” Segelstrom said the new facility will allow McNally to expand on current programs and accept new contracts. “I’d also like to thank our experienced and dedicated workforce for all their hard work in this facility,” Segelstrom added. “McNally is fortunate to be here in Grantsburg,” Segelstrom said. “This facility will help with the assembly of our products.” He continued to explain the other Enterprise building, which is about 10,000 square feet, was not enough room for the contracts.

Jim Segelstrom (left) of McNally explained during the tour what the new building will be used for as McNally continues to expand in Grantsburg.

Enterprise 2.1 is 17,500 square feet. Various village representatives and other personnel were allowed to take a tour of the building. They were shown and got a behind the scene look at how various products are manufactured including ammunition hoists for Naval ships,

mortar weapon systems and all the electronics that go along with the various components. “I’ve been here for 11 years,” Vilstrup said. “But in the last two to three years there has been much more expansion in Grantsburg.”

BURNETT COUNTY—Remember to set your clocks back one hour before retiring Saturday evening, and enjoy an extra hour of sleep. Daylight Savings Time officially ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, November 4. It is officially called “Daylight Saving Time,” though most people in the Midwest say “savings,” plural. Whichever you prefer, it always starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, with the time change taking place at exactly 2 a.m. With a word play referring to seasons, clocks “spring forward, fall back” – that is, in springtime the clocks are moved forward from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. and in fall they are moved back from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. Daylight Saving Time goes back to 1918 and has been lengthened so it now lasts a total of 34 weeks (238 days) every year, about 65 percent of the year.

Don’t act all willy nilly

istory is one of the most fascinating things that can be studied. I enjoy the history of words and especially the history of everyday phrases we may not know the origins of. That is the stuff I enjoy the most. Now, imagine my joy while I was sitting in the courtroom last week (I was working, not there for personal reasons) and I heard the judge say something that immediately sparked my interest. I don’t know if it was because I enjoy old phrases or because judges are usually buttoned up with reading legalese, statues and case law. But when I heard the judge say “(the law) is not to be done willy nilly” I almost leapt out of my seat while vigorously writing notes. Wikipedia says the phrase is an idiom for haphazardly or spontaneously. This is not how someone should go into a court of law. Maybe one could go willy nilly into a Sentinel movie or to lunch but certainly not for work as an attorney. Editor So that got the wheels turning Jonathan Richie and I started thinking about history and like all things in life I started wondering about the phrase, after hearing my parents, grandparents and other folks use the phrase my whole life, and where did it originate. Turns out my initial theory was wildly inaccurate. I had been under the impression that some guy, probably named William Nilliam, was a bit aloof or detached from life so people started mocking him. Then Nilliam died and people would start shortening his name to the point where they did not even remember the namesake of this cruel phrase. However, like most things in life I was wrong. But the phrase does originate in the early 17th century – back when words mattered, and people communicated with each other with word and not through their fingers and these mini-computers we keep in our pockets. But I digress. The first citation for the phrase is in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1608. There’s a bunch of other information on the Internet, although some of it is fairly unreliable. Apparently, the phrase began as a wishy-washy type ‘maybe I will or maybe I won’t’ phrase. It was first seen as “will I, nill I” or I am willing, I am unwilling. It is not credited to Bill Shakespeare or any other significant historical figure. However, The Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology reasserts the origins of the phrase and adds that “nill” comes from the Old English word, nyllan – a combination of “ne” meaning no and “willan” meaning will. Over the years it transformed into the phrase we all know and love – willy nilly. And finally, there was a single released by Rufus Thomas in 1965 called “Willy Nilly.” Thomas was a notorious Stax Records artist with hits like “Walking the Dog” in 1963 and “Do the Funky Chicken” released six years later. So, live your life in a willy nilly fashion, if you can afford it. If not, just keep being succinct and do everything willingly.

The night we called on the crazy lady

was recalling some of the Halloweens of my youth and remembered an incident that occurred in the fall and scared the Dickens out of me. I’m not sure what category this falls into: horror, comedy or adolescent stupidity, but here is my tale of the night my friends and I knocked on the door of the scariest house in town. There was an old maid that lived alone a couple doors down from the grandparents of one of my childhood friends in an old house with an overgrown yard. The myth and legend surrounding this lady ranged from a local Lizzie Borden From the Publisher’s to a misunderstood, slightly crazy spinster. Desk One of the legends about her was about that overgrown and unkempt Tom Stangl lawn. It was said that she didn’t own a llawnmower, was too cheap to hire a kid to mow, and preferred to cut the grass with a large knife, wearing only an apron. I was never able to confirm or refute this legend, but her tall grass eventually did get cut several times during the summer. My friend, Jeff, who had four brothers and lived just a few doors down, was obsessed with the crazy lady in the spooky house. We debated many plans of how we could get inside the house to see if there were dead bodies or trapped animals, but could never agree on a foolproof plan. Jeff, tired of the endless debates on the topic, came up with what he thought would be the perfect plan: a frontal attack, knocking on the front door. The ruse we would use, wearing hats and coats, was that we were from a neighboring town going door to door recruiting scouts. Yes, it was a stupid plan. So stupid that it might just work!

The night came, we had our hats (Jeff wore a cowboy hat — he thought it would be more convincing) and what remained of our nerves and we stepped on to the creaky boards of the front porch. Jeff knocked on the door and we stood, petrified with fear as he knocked on the door. What happened next convinced us to never, ever talk about the crazy lady ever again. After two knocks (there might be animals trapped, we HAD to follow through), the front door opened. The door creaked open, revealing nothing but the dark silhouette of the crazy lady. (Brilliant move leave the room dark so we can’t see the corpses) Jeff, to his credit, gave his pitch, using a Texas drawl (I guess the cowboy hat took over). There was a brief period of uncomfortable silence and the crazy lady closed her door. We ran as fast as we could and would later boast of our bravery. It turns out the crazy lady wasn’t a killer, just a crazy old lady. She died years later, and I don’t recall any bodies being found when they moved her home. Later, I would read the novel and see the film adaptation of Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” and realize that I had nearly come face to face with what I had imagined to be our town’s Boo Radley.

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.

CAPITOL REPORT

Poll shows Wisconsin voters are narrowly split over impeachment The November 2020 election is about a year away, but the impeachment drama seems likely to play out much sooner. How will all of that play in the swing state of Wisconsin, called “ground zero” of the 2020 campaign? Early polling indicates fewer Wisconsin voters than voters nationwide jumping on the impeachment bandwagon. Wisconsin voters are split over whether there is enough evidence to hold impeachment hearings against President Trump, according to the latest Marquette University Law School Poll released Oct. 23. Forty-six percent believe there is enough evidence now to hold hearings, while 49 percent disagreed. Survey Director Charles Franklin said there was slightly less support among Wisconsin voters than the average of national surveys. Still, support for hearings is up significantly from the spring, when Marquette found a split of 29-65.

Franklin called that a “notable upturn.” There was a split among partisans with Democrats much more likely to support impeachment hearings than Republicans. Among independents, 35% backed hearings, while 53% didn’t. Franklin said independents also were less likely to have followed coverage of the allegations against the president. The poll also found 44% support impeaching the president and removing him from office, while 51% don’t. Overall, 46% of voters approve of the job Trump is doing, while 51% disapprove compared to a 45-53 split in the August survey. The poll didn’t find much change in the head-to-head matchups pitting Trump against Democratic presidential contenders. Former Vice President Joe Biden was favored by 50% of respondents, while 44% backed Trump. The change from the 51-42 split in Biden’s favor in the August poll was within the margin of error.

Evers plays politics with taxpayer pocketbooks GAE MAGNAFICI

Last month, Sean Duffy resigned as the Congressman for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, leaving a vacancy in the seat. In situations like this, the Governor is required to call special elections to fill the seat, though he has some discretion as to when the elections are held. Since Congressman Duffy’s resignation, I’ve been troubled by the Governor’s Gae choices for the Magnaﬁci dates of these elections. District 28 Initially, Representative the Governor ordered dates that included a primary election to be held on December 30th, the day before New Year’s Eve and one of the most popular travel times for Wisconsinites. Local officials and voters would have needed to set aside this inconvenient date to accommodate the Governor’s schedule. While I was disappointed that Governor Evers chose this date for a primary, the United States Department of Justice soon contacted his office and informed him that the initial dates he had chosen for the special election were in violation of federal law. The Governor eventually complied with the Department of Justice and chose new dates. Unfortunately, I’m again disappointed by the Governor’s timetable for this special election. The

election could have been scheduled for April 7th, the same day as the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Democratic presidential primary elections that are already taking place that day. Instead, Governor Evers has created an unnecessary additional election date on May 12th for the special election, putting taxpayers on the hook to pay for another election, and requiring voters to take additional time out of their days to vote. We shouldn’t be making it harder for Wisconsinites to vote; we should be making it easier! What’s more disturbing are the political reasons that could be motivating Governor Evers to implement this inconvenient and costly voting schedule. Because the Wisconsin Supreme Court election coincides with the Democratic presidential primary, high Democrat voter turnout is expected for April 7th. By keeping the 7th Congressional District special election off that ballot, it seems that Governor Evers is trying to avoid higher Republican voter turnout that day in an attempt to prop up any liberal Supreme Court candidate. While I have not yet spoken to Governor Evers about his rationale for the May 12th special election date, I will be writing to him in the coming days to ask why this election could not have been scheduled on April 7th. Maybe he will provide strong justification for choosing a date that costs taxpayers additional time and money; or maybe he is just playing politics with election days.

Forty-eight percent backed U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, while 46 favored Trump; it was 47% to 46% for U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren versus Trump; and it was 45% to 43% for Trump versus Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Ind. Biden continued to be the first choice among Democrats in the presidential primary, while Warren leapfrogged Sanders into second place. And more than half of Wisconsin voters continued to approve of the job Gov. Tony Evers is doing. The latest poll found 52% approve of the governor’s job performance, compared to 34% who disapproved. In August, the spread was 54-34. Meanwhile, 55% say the state is headed in the right direction, while 39% believe it’s off on the wrong track. Last month, that was 55-37. The poll also found 46% of respondents have a favorable impression of U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, while 39% had a negative one. For U.S. Sen. Ron

Johnson, R-Oshkosh, the split was 40-29. The poll of 799 voters was conducted Oct. 13-17 with 60% of the interviews conducted over cell phones. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.2 percentage points. The poll sample was 45% Republican and 44% Democratic with leaners included. That compares to a long-term average of 45-45. The sample of those planning to vote in the Democratic presidential primary included 379 respondents, and it has a margin of error of plus or minus 6.3 percentage points.

WILD CHOW

Trick or Treat? This will be my first Halloween without any kids at home. Whose candy stash will I raid? Snickers candy bars have always been my favorite Halloween treat. Maybe it’s the nuts? The nougat has a great texture, too. You can’t go wrong with chocolate. Regardless, they are the perfect combination of salty, sweet, crunchy, caramelly, and smooth-melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. Since there is no one to share with me, it’s the perfect time to try my hand at making my own. I shouldn’t have. These are so good. Dare I even say, better than the real thing? The only way store-bought is better is if you don’t have time to make them. Using top-quality ingredients changes this treat into something memorable and crave-worthy. For this recipe, choose top quality peanuts, chocolate chips, and caramel. No tricks here, just the best homemade treat you’ve ever eaten. Happy Halloween! Homemade Snickers Bars Makes 16 small candy bars 2-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips, divided 1 Tbsp. butter 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter 2 cups marshmallow fluff 2-1/2 cups powdered sugar 2 Tbsp. milk 1 cup salted peanuts 1 bag caramels, 11 ounces 2 Tbsp. heavy cream 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. salt Line the bottom of an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper and sides of the pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a double boiler, bring 1 cup water to a slow boil. In the top pan, place the chips and butter over the simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted. Pour half of the chocolate into the prepared pan and spread evenly in a layer. Place the pan in the freezer to firm up. Set the other half of the chocolate aside. In a large bowl, with a hand mixer or by hand, mix the marshmallow Wild Chow fluff, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk, Lisa Erickson until it looks like a ball of dough. Lightly butter your hands and push the nougat down onto the frozen chocolate layer. Sprinkle with the peanuts and press them into the nougat. In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt the caramels with the heavy cream and stir to combine. Add the vanilla and salt. Spread the caramel mixture over the nougat and cool.

Judge declares mistrial in Janesville murder case JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — A judge has declared a mistrial in a Janesville fatal stabbing case after a bailiff said jury deliberations had become “toxic.” Judge Barbara McCrory declared the mistrial Thursday after a Rock County jury could not reach a verdict in the trial of 22-year-

old Julian Collazo. Collazo is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the stabbing death of 43-year-old Christine Scaccia-Lubeck of Janesville in December 2017. The Janesville Gazette reports a bailiff told the judge the jury was in a “toxic” situation, and that jurors had to be separated while they

debated the evidence. Each juror told the judge they did not believe they could make a decision. A hearing is set for Dec. 18 to discuss what happens next. Prosecutors say the victim was stabbed more than 30 times.

Frederic native patrols seas from the air for U.S. Navy DUSTIN GOOD NAVY OFFICE OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH

OAK HARBOR, Wash. – Airman Nathaniel Denkmann, a native of Frederic, Wisconsin, joined the Navy following in his uncle’s footsteps and wanted a bigger sense of purpose. Now, almost two years later, Denkmann serves as an aviation structural mechanic with the “The Skinny Dragons” of Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Squadron 4, working with the Navy’s cutting-edge maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington. “At this command I get to travel more and see more places than I would at other commands,” said Denkmann. Denkmann, a 2018 graduate of Frederic High School, serves with VP-4, a high-tech maritime patrol and reconnaissance squadron tasked with monitoring the world’s oceans in the state-of-the-art P-8A “Poseidon.” “I am responsible for maintaining the structure of the aircraft,” said Denkmann. Denkmann credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned in Frederic.

“My dad taught me that you never settle,” said Denkmann. “That helps you because you never slow down and keep pushing.” VP-4’s primary mission is to conduct maritime patrol and reconnaissance as well as longrange anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and intelligence gathering missions. They deploy around the world to monitor the world’s oceans wherever they are needed. The P-8A Poseidon, the Navy’s newest maritime, patrol and reconnaissance aircraft, is a replacement aircraft for the legacy P-3C “Orion”. According to Navy officials, leveraging the experience and technology of the successful P-3C “Orion” with the needs of the fleet, the P-8A is designed to be combat-capable, and to improve an operator’s ability to efficiently conduct anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface warfare; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. As the Navy transitions to the full capacity with the P-8A “Poseidon”, the aircraft continues the work- horse tradition established by the P-3C “Orion”. The P-8A has a planned state-of-theart open architecture mission system and next-generation

sensors. These capabilities give warfighters added protection. The aircraft empowers the fleet with more combat capability, responsiveness, and interoperability with traditional manned forces and evolving unmanned sensors. The P-8A “Poseidon” has significant growth potential, with planned, phased-in technological improvements that extend global reach, payload capacity and higher-operating altitude. “Working with the P-8 it’s kind of a rare job in the Navy,” said Denkmann. “Not a lot of people get this chance.” Serving in the Navy means Denkmann is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. A key element of the Navy the nation needs is tied to the fact that America is a maritime nation, and that the nation’s prosperity is tied to the ability to operate freely on the world’s oceans. More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water; 80 percent of the world’s population lives close to a coast; and 90 percent of all

global trade by volume travels by sea. “Our priorities center on people, capabilities and processes, and will be achieved by our focus on speed, value, results and partnerships,” said Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer. “Readiness, lethality and modernization are the requirements driving these priorities.” Though there are many ways for sailors to earn distinction in their command, community and career, Denkmann is most proud of learning the toughest lessons.

“I went through some tough things, but I just had to pick myself up and keep going,” said Denkmann. As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Denkmann and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes contributing to the Navy the nation needs. “Serving in the Navy is a bigger sense of belonging,” said Denkmann. “You have that bond that’s stronger than any other when you serve with the others.”

Couple arrested for heroin and meth CROPS: Farmers waiting to get on ﬁelds A couple was arrested after allegedly finding illicit substances in their vehicle at a Siren gas station with their infant son nearby. Scott Douglas Westbrook and Tawny Marie Saltz were charged with possession of heroin, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Saltz was also charged with possession of schedule II narcotics, according to

the initial police report. Police turned the child over to their grandparents following the arrest. Westbrook, 34, and Saltz, 29, were allegedly arguing outside of the Holiday gas station on Oct. 18 around 5:15 p.m. when police were called to the scene.

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) released their weekly crop report and said last week had four days suitable for field work across the state. The report continues to explain that soaking rains on Monday started another week with an unwanted bump to soil moistures. “However, with winter incoming, farmers had little choice but to harvest corn and soybeans in spite of poor field conditions. Rutting, soil compaction, and stuck machinery were reportedly still widespread as farmers battled the relentless mud.” A Barron farmer told the USDA, “Week started out frustratingly wet,

but by midweek field operations were in full swing. Lots of soybeans coming off under 20 percent moisture. Corn silage chopping wrapping up. Some high moisture corn grain being taken and even some dry corn grain reports. Very little fall tillage and many scrambling to get manure pits down, so lots of manure being spread.” Then a report from Rusk and Sawyer County said, “Rusk County received 1 to 3 inches of rain this week depending on where you are located. Most likely no one in fields for any harvesting for another week or two if we don’t get any more rain.” A St. Croix farmer summed it up for the whole region, “Farmers very frustrated that they haven’t been able to get in the fields.”

Attorneys argue for Wood Lake Camp

Committee tours Jennie-O CAFO

Oral ruling expected in December JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

GOVERNMENT CENTERâ€“â€“Three lawyers traded caselaw, precedent and evidence in a civil case surrounding the Big Wood Lake Campground in the Burnett County Courthouse. Big Wood Lake Camp & RV LLC is operated by Pat and Judi Kinsella. They bought 234 acres of land in Wood River and Trade Lake towards the end of 2018. They originally submitted a pair of consecutive conditional use permits (CUP) that laid out the campground first as a resort with a large expansion of RV sites and the second CUP proposed similar plan but a scaled back version. In March that CUP was tabled by the Burnett County Land Use and Information Committee because they did not have enough time or resources to decide on the camp/resort at 22460 Assembly Drive in the town of Wood River. The Concerned Melissia Mogen Citizens of Big Wood Judge Lake, U.A. released a statement in August outlining their issues and concerns with the proposed campground. â€œThe former Bible camp had a small campground with 12 sites near the waterfront, half of which included electrical hook-ups for RVs,â€? the statement explained. â€œIn addition to the 125 new proposed sites, the new owners are also seeking to double the number of sites in the historic campground, bringing the total number of RV lots to 150 or more.â€? The lawsuit contends the new owners are not in compliance with county and town zoning law. Representing Big Wood Lake Camp & RV, LLC. was Karla Vehrs and Gretchen Gurstelle. On the plaintiff side was attorney Joseph Cincotta. Judge Melissia Mogen was presiding over the court. The courtroom had a larger audience than usual on Friday Oct. 25, and the judge reminded the room to turn off cell phones, reminded them of the no recording policy. She added she would hold someone in contempt if they were found to be recording. The majority of the argument centered around whether the camp had been not operating for 12 months. Gurstelle and Vehrs argued that the camp had not been out of operation as a camp for more than 12 months. Gurstelle laid out

â€˜This is a complex case involving multiple ordinance, It is not to be done willy nilly.â€™

three reasons they believe the original CUP, which was approved in 2013, still applies. The first was the footprint of the camp has stayed the same and the property owners have not changed the current camp besides updated structures. The second was the intention of the owners has not changed and third was that operations at the camp have continued. Gurstelle said there is no documentation of campers attending any program at the camp since 2017, however, she added they did not let their camp license go longer than 12 months without being updated. â€œThe original conditional use permit, then, still applies,â€? Gurstelle explained. The Wood Lake Camp & RV attorneys also gave history of the camp dating back 80 years when it was owned by Converge Great Lakes. Then about 15 years ago Wood Lake Bible Camp became itâ€™s own entity. At this point it was noted by the defense that Converge Great Lakes may once again take up programming operations at the camp in the future, but the Kinsellaâ€™s would still be in charge financially. The Kinsellaâ€™s apparently put enough capital funds into the camp for renovations and would hand programming operations back over to Converge Great Lakes. Cincotta argued the Kinsellaâ€™s have always intended on having the camp designed for short-term rentals for adults. The defense argued that is not the case and they always intended on keeping the camp as a youth camp. LATE SUBMISSIONS The attorneys for Wood Lake Camp & RV submitted an affidavit and other materials a week before the motion on October 18. Cincotta gave a critique that material should not be submitted that soon before the hearing. Judge Mogen said Cincotta was not submitting a critique of the last-minute filings being submitted, but instead said it was a complaint and she agreed with that complaint. â€œThis is a complex case involving multiple ordinancesâ€Ś It is not to be done willy nilly,â€? Mogen said. Mogen said she would not be issuing any ruling in court on Friday. She continued to explain there is a lot of material in the case, both defense lawyers had binders full of documents, exhibits and notes on the case, and she would need to review all of it. This included late filings and cases with precedence in the case including Lessard V. Burnett County Board of Adjustment. The oral ruling for Dec. 6 at 9 a.m. in the Burnett County Courthouse.

BURNETT COUNTYâ€“â€“Members of the CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation) committee, as some have begun to call the group, recently toured a facility in Barron. The large scale livestock study ad-hoc committee was created in August to study facilities of more than 1,000 animal units or CAFOs. Following the meeting the committee members drove approximately 60 miles southeast for a tour of the Jennie-O Turkey store and farm. The Sentinel reached out to Jennie-O prior to the tour and were told that media is not allowed in the store or the farm due to a corporate policy that Jennie-Oâ€™s parent company, Hormel, has in place. The group met at the Government Center on Thursday to discuss hiring a soil scientist and then put together a timeline for when they plan on meeting over the next several months. They continued their conversations on soil types and zoning

throughout the county. County Administrator and committee chair Nate Ehalt explained he wanted to outline the committee meeting schedule and timeline for inviting guests, like the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) and DATCP (Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection) early next year. They are also looking for an expert with a non-bias opinion on the health effects of working/ living at or near a CAFO. Supervisor Dorothy Richard suggested an expert, however, Supervisor Duane Johnson said he believes that expert is anti-CAFO and would not have a non-biased opinion on the subject. Non-biased opinions are what the committee is looking for. There was speculation among the group about why they have not been able to book a tour at a hog CAFO. â€œFarmers may think weâ€™re adversarial just by having a moratorium on CAFOs,â€? Ehalt said.

Special election has new date With all the recent talk about election rules at the federal and state level, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has chosen new dates for the special election to fill the stateâ€™s 7th Congressional District seat. The primary will be held on Feb. 18 with the general election being pushed back to May 12. Originally the primary was set for Dec. 30 followed by the general election Jan. 27.

Board declines joining statewide resolution JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

SIREN––In a split vote the Siren School Board denied a motion to sign a resolution going around the state calling for the end of using Native American symbols or people as mascots for schools. The resolution was brought to the board by associate high school principal Wayne Koball. He said the mascots are offensive and thought it was time the state retire the mascots out there. “I think it would be nice to throw our support behind it,” Koball said. He added Wausau and a number of other school districts have sent it to the state capital. “I just know we run into a few of these names that I don’t think are correct. I think we should take a stand that we support the resolution.” Trustee Duane Emery was the first to speak in favor of the resolution. “I’ve been through this thing for so many years,” Emery began. “I remember when it first came out, the mascots, and I read an article on the Miami (University) of Ohio Indians. They did Wayne Koball it right.” Associate High School Principal There were no native people in Ohio and the university went to Oklahoma to ask about the name and it led to native students being allowed to go to the school for free. “I have sparing thoughts about this, being a Native American male,” Emery said. “My family broke the color barrier in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. It was a horrifying childhood.” He then shifted the conversation from the mascot to the people. “I’m proud to be an Indian,” Emery concluded. “We have blatant prejudice walking through this school every day… both communities have made in roads. I think this is a good resolution but is just a stepping stone to the ultimate goal of people treating people like people.” Siren’s Native American coordinator Tara Voss gave her own experience as a mother and an educator of native children. “My kids have come home and their classmates have said they’re not Indian because they don’t look like it and wear a war bonnet and they don’t

‘I think we should take a stand that we support the resolution.’

look like the mascot these non-native schools see,” Voss said when talking about her experience as a mother of native children. “That’s a really hard conversation to have with a five-year-old.” She added that some students at Siren school don’t feel native enough because they don’t look like the stoic warrior that is presented by these mascots. Koball was also prepared for the opposition to be joining the resolution. “I was proud to be an Osceola Chief,” trustee Mark Pettis said. “I don’t think I can vote for my alma mater and tell them what they can do with their mascot.” Trustee Susie Imme added that she once knew a young man who dressed up as Michael Jordan in what she called blackface. “At that time there was no name for it, to my knowledge of what we’ll call blackface. It was not racist or divisive in anyway,” Imme said. “It’s a sign of honor, respect and admiration.” The vote was 3-4 with Peggy Moore, Rhonda Highstrom and Emery voting in favor and the rest of the board in opposition.

What has changed over 80 years in Burnett County Have you ever wondered what the county’s budget was in 1938? Well, wonder no more. County Administrator Nate Ehalt brought a little book that looked very old to the October board of supervisors meeting. In the book, Ehalt noted a few things like what the county treasurer made for a salary 80 years ago. The short answer is $1,200 for a year of work done for the Burnett County Treasurer’s Office. The 2020 budget for Burnett County is just over $28.6 million. Ehalt stated the budget for 1938-39 was $108,895. “It has increased significantly in the last 80 years,” Ehalt said. Recently Beth Rank, 4-H Youth and Family Development educator for UW-Extension, announced that Burnett County 4-H has met their goal of having 100 kids in 4-H. There was a stat for that too in Ehalt’s book. He stated in 1938 there were 329 kids in 4-H. This sparked a brief conversation about changes in farming. No one seemed to know the number of farms currently in Burnett County, but Ehalt did point out that in 1938 there were 211 farms throughout the county. Ehalt even had statistics on forestry acreage. In 1938 the County had about 76,000 acres of forest. In 2019, the county has approximately 111,000 acres in the county forest. Forest Administrator Jake Nichols joked, “We’ve expanded a bit.”

Madison barricades hopefully gone by end of week JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––Drivers are getting irritable not being able to drive on Madison Avenue and they may have to wait a little longer. Grantsburg Public Works director Chris Bartlett told the Sentinel he believes the intersections along Madison Ave. will be open by the end of the week. He was very vague with his answers because of the issues the crews have run into with the

weather. Bartlett added if they were to paint all of the lines right now, with the cold weather, they would not last very long. He said his crew is still figuring out what their plan will be for painting on the parking lines along Madison Ave. Last week red concrete was poured for crosswalks after the asphalt was removed. Initial plans released by the Village of Grantsburg stated their goal was to have everything completed by Oct. 8.

Downtown drivers have been met by these signs on Madison Avenue. Public Works believes they will be gone by Saturday.

Basketball coach to take leave SIREN––The Siren boys’ basketball coach will be taking the year off and the district will begin looking for an interim replacement coach for the upcoming season. School board president Peggy Moore released the following statement regarding John Ruud. “I apologize on behalf of the Board for the way the investigation concernKevin Shetler ing Mr. Ruud Superintendent was handled, in regard to a parent complaint. There was not a formal procedure in place on how to conduct an investigation and it could have been done more professionally. The Board is currently working with our Attorney to write up a policy for future use. Mr. Ruud has chosen to take a leave of absence for one year from coaching basketball and the intent of the Board is to have him back as Head Coach of the Basketball Team next year.” Siren Superintendent spoke to the Sentinel about the complaint. He said there was no evidence of any wrongdoing by Ruud but did say the board should have sent the complaint to the Administration committee for a proper investiga-

tion. Instead the board handled the complaint themselves. This led to anger by some of the parents and there was added confusion after students were interviewed. Rumors then began flowing about Ruud’s status at the school. There were a number of parents at the school board meeting Monday night. Some parents said they appreciated how Ruud was respectful of the students. One woman said they would like to see the community apologized for the situation. Shetler concluded, “The school has every intention of bringing John back for next season.” The district has begun their search for an interim coach for this season.

‘The Closet’ is full... for now GRANTSBURG–– ‘The Closet’ in Grantsburg High School is full and will no longer be accepting donations at this time, according to organizers. The Closet is a room inside the high school with things that students may need like clothing, food and toiletries. The idea was brought to the school by a couple of ladies from the Methodist Church to help students in need and operates completely on the honor system. Organizers reached out to the Sentinel thanking the community for their support of this new project

but cannot handle anymore donations right now. In September the Sentinel put a basket for donations out and it filled up before the end of the first day. Since then the items have continued to be dropped off at the school or picked up from the office in hopes of getting the items in the hands of the students who need them. The Sentinel will keep you updated on when they will begin looking for donations again. They believe in a couple of weeks they will begin looking for winter clothing like mittens and scarves.

World Polio Day Tim Mulcrone, District 5960 Polio Chair, came to speak to the Siren/Webster Rotary Club on Oct. 24, 2019 which was World Polio Day. World Polio Day is an annual opportunity for Rotary members to rally the world around the fight to eradicate the disease

forever. In 1988, when Rotary and its partners founded the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, the paralyzing disease affected 350,000 children. Our collaboration with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and later the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, local health workers, and national governments has helped reduce that number by 99.9 percent.

Fall concerts to feature favorite classics Selections from Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky and the Firebird Suite by Stravinsky will open the Red Cedar Symphony’s fall concerts on Nov. 9 in Cumberland and Nov. 10 in Rice Lake. These are some of the most popular compositions ever written and will delight children and adults alike as the melodies evoke a magical world of Russian fairy tales full of mythical creatures, princesses, and heroes. The second half of the concert will feature the first two movements of Mussorgsky’s Pictures At An Exhibition, a series of musical descriptions of his friend’s paintings – in this case an ugly old gnome and a ruined castle. The final piece will be Bolero by Ravel, one of the most recognizable pieces of classical music in the world, and possibly the least understood. At Bolero’s premiere in Paris in 1928, a woman in the audience was heard shouting that the composer was mad. Ravel is said to have responded that she had understood the piece. Please join us for a performance of memorable live classical music. The concerts will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9, at Augustana Lutheran Church at 1025 Second Ave. in Cumberland and at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10, at Bethany Lutheran Church at 35 West Messenger Street in Rice Lake. Tickets are $15, with those 21 and under admitted free, available at the door. Established in 1983 and housed at Bethany Lutheran Church in Rice Lake, the RCS draws classical musicians from throughout northwestern Wisconsin, including Rice Lake, Osseo, Cumberland, Ladysmith, Spooner, Chetek, Gordon, Trego, Springbrook, Bruce, Hayward, Cable, Winter, Bloomer, Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, and Foster.

9th annual Trunk or Treat event Living drug free HALLE PARDUN BURNETT MEDICAL CENTER MARKETING DIRECTOR

Red Ribbon Week raises awareness of drug use and the problems related to drugs facing our community, and encourages parents, educators, business owners, and other community organizations to promote drug-free lifestyles. Wearing red ribbons during the month of October continues to represent our pledge to live drug free and honors the sacrifice of all who have lost their lives in the fight against drugs. Take the opportunity to talk to your kids about drugs. Research shows that children are less likely to use alcohol and other drugs when parents and other role models are clear and consistent in their opposition to drug use and the misuse of prescription drugs. Celebrate Red Ribbon Week in your community or your child’s school and raise awareness of living a drug free life. There are lots of ways to celebrate Red Ribbon Week and every part of your community can get involved. Here are some ways communities can get involved: 1. Display red ribbons in your organization’s building. 2. Host a special drug abuse prevention seminar for the community. 3. Organize a drug prevention awareness fair. 4. Set up and staff an exhibit table to distribute drug prevention information and materials. 5. Post fact sheets and Red Ribbon Week event notices. Here are some ways schools can get involved: 1. Wear red ribbons. 2. Do a Red Ribbon Week activity (e.g., bookmark, poster, or essay contest; classroom door decorating contest). 3. Incorporate drug prevention facts and tips in your school-wide announcements. 4. Have a Red Ribbon Rally with performances by local talent or school groups. 5. Have a school assembly (everyone can wear red) and invite a law enforcement officer to speak about the dangers of drug abuse. Visit www.GetSmartAboutDrugs.com for more information about Red Ribbon Week. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org.

UFFDA Hunt 2019 AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL

Hello friends, Though it may not be the largest volunteer organization that I know of, UFFDA (United Foundation for Disabled Archers) may be the coolest. With chapters in Wisconsin and Minnesota what UFFDA does is take men and women with disabilities on archery hunts. In the years 2004, 2005, and 2015 I helped at the Camp Tesomas Hunt which is a Boy Scout camp that covers 1200 acres just north of Rhinelander. In those years what I did for this three-day hunt was help a hunter get to a blind, sit with him and at the end of each hunt take him back to the cafeteria/common area where the 25 hunters and at least 30 guides and kitchen helpers hang out. This week’s column will be choppy because there is a ton to write about. Thursday, Oct. 17 High 71, low 45 I pulled into Tesomas today about noon and it was like seeing an old friend that I had not seen in years and I mean that with the guides, hunters and Camp Tesomas itself. Tom Nicholson was a year younger than me in school and he is the second vice president of UFFDA and an incredible, get it done guy. I also went to school with Tom’s wife Cheryl and she runs the kitchen which is a huge task. I met Jim Watson back in 2004 and for the last 19-years Jim has been guiding Jeff Hvam. Jim is from the Portage area and is a retired Alliant Energy employee and overall just a great guy. The first thing that every hunter must do before they are allowed to start hunting is make sure that their crossbow is sighted in. Folks I must admit until this hunt, I had completely forgot how a crossbow works. Next, hunt coordinator Tim Nicholson, who is the son of Tom and Cheryl, told us where we would be hunting, which on this huge property can be hard to find. About all I have to say about Tim is he is excellent at his job and a very good guy just like fellow volunteers Logan Leonard, Bart Mueller and dozens of other very good people. Next, and here is where it gets touchy for a while, I would be guiding Jeffery Hvam for the next three days.

Jeff has been hunting with Jim Watson for 19-years. Jim has some health issues that do not allow him to physically lift a man that is 6’4” out of a wheelchair and put him into a truck and vice versa. At first my new friend did not want to hunt with me, by the end of the weekend we were good buddies and I had immense respect for people with physical impediments and their caregivers. Just to give you an idea of some of the health issues or causes with our hunters and good friends, here are a few: motorcycle or car accident, stroke, tree stand fall and in Jeff Hvam’s case, uncontrolled seizures due to epilepsy. While in the blind, Jeff had five seizures over five hunts but, because I was forewarned it was not a big deal. On our first hunt 25 hunters harvested three antlerless deer and the mood in camp was excellent. Friday, Oct. 18 This is deer camp for these hunters and this morning two more deer fell victim to their crossbows on a beautiful morning in the Northwoods. A bear was spotted by one hunter, one hunters’ crossbow did not fire at a buck because he forgot to take if off safety, and two of the lady hunters in our camp

stayed out from dark to dark. Back to the volunteers, Bob and Steve Bakken are here to help as they cut up every deer that is brought into camp. Todd Dykstra is a guide and helped Jerome Murphy roast a hog which was our dinner tonight. Oh yeah and with my natural charm I am starting to get Jeffery to think I am an OK guy! The following day was our last full day of hunting and not a whitetail was harvested which gave us a total of six. There is so much to be said about UFFDA and the experiences of every person at a hunt like this but what is most important is this, folks there are not as many volunteers out there as there used to be. This experience should be documented on tv, it is incredible. No one asked me to do this but, go to uffdaclub.com and figure out how you can help. Even a $20 membership or help in the kitchen or possibly the super cool job of being a guide or just figuring out how you could help someone go on a turkey hunt next spring. Everything is free to the hunters and the awesome feeling you get for your help is worth the price of admission. Sunset.

Volunteer appreciation banquet Every year our organization, the ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin, likes to take time to recognize and show our appreciation for all of the volunteers that help make our programs great and possible! This year we hosted our annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet at the Milltown Community Center on Wednesday, Sept. 25. We ate, talked, laughed, celebrated with a delicious cake and played bingo—it was a terrific afternoon with some really incredible people! How amazing are our volunteers? Well in the past year our Medical Transportation volunteers drove 152,000 miles helping people get to their medical appointments and our Meals on Wheels drivers drove 166,000 miles delivering nutritious meals. Our volunteers that help with our newsletter, prepared and delivered 40,800 copies of The Voice and our healthy aging program volunteers helped individuals learn about fall prevention, living well with a chronic condition, how to use a tablet computer, lifesaving tools for family caregivers, and how to better manage diabetes. We can’t forget about the many people that help at our dining sites throughout Polk and Burnett Counties making the group dining experience wonderful for all! Below is a list of our volunteers—-thank you all for the work you do! We couldn’t do it without you!

Re-energize yourself

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

JANE MAHONEY CAREGIVER SUPPORT SPECIALIST, GWAAR

No one can anticipate what it will take to care for another person. It starts out with little things, and then slowly progresses to more and bigger things. Pretty soon you find yourself spending an enormous amount of time and energy taking care of someone else. The responsibility becomes overwhelming. You no longer seem to have time for what you used to enjoy, and it feels selfish to try to fit those things in. You are exhausted, resentful, frustrated and alone. And on top of everything, no matter how much you do, it still doesn’t seem like enough. It has become difficult to feel good about yourself and your life. The above scenario is real to many people. If you are in a situation like this, you are experiencing caregiver burnout. These are normal feelings, but

METRO CREATIVE

they are signs of stress and must be addressed. It is time to put your own needs on your priority list! Maintaining your energy and vitality is important to you and those around you. You can fight burnout by talking to someone about your feelings, letting go of thinking you must do it all, taking care of your physical health, continuing meaningful social activities, and regularly taking time to care for YOU. Everyone has their own unique way of re-energizing. It may be a walk, coffee with a friend, reading a book, exercis-

ing, playing piano, listening to music, meditation or anything that gives you energy and makes you feel refreshed. Find the things that give you a boost and make it a priority to do them regularly. Carving out time for yourself can be a challenge but is important to do. Consider asking (or paying) someone to take over for you to give you some respite, then use that time to “re-energize.” Be purposeful in using snippets of time (during their nap, favorite show or other independent activity) to do something for you instead

of washing dishes or cleaning. Allow friends and neighbors to help you. Be open to moving your schedule around to accommodate things you enjoy. In the busyness of your life as a caregiver, one of the best things you can do is to make time to re-energize yourself. Scheduling a time every day or week to do something you love will benefit not only you, but the person you are caring for and everyone else in your life. Find ways to re-energize so you can be the best caregiver you can be!

We’re here for you.

ADRC Nutrition Program changes

Burnett Medical Center hosts upcoming diabetes education night

If you read last month’s issue of The Voice and you are a regular participant of the ADRC Nutrition Program, you’ve probably learned about or experienced some changes. We are actively making changes to update the program, increase sustainability, and make sure we are providing a needed service. First, we are working towards truly making everything from scratch at our dining sites and we’ve been able to do this through a partnership with a company called Sustainable Kitchens. They are helping train our staff on new cooking techniques, they provide recipes, so the meals are the same from dining site to dining site, and they provide ongoing support through this transition into a healthier, scratch cooked menu utilizing more locally grown and fresh food. We welcome your feedback as you venture out to our dining sites for a bite! Prior to this partnership our Siren ADRC Dining Site at the Siren Senior Center, experienced some changes brought about by the retirement of dining staff. The Siren Dining Site is still serving meals and is open for people to attend and enjoy a hot, homemade meal with friends! We are now and planning to continue cooking the meal at the Webster Dining Site at the Webster Senior Center and then transporting the food to the Siren Dining Site for our diners. We request Siren diners to contact the Webster Dining Site to reserve a meal at least 24 hours in advance. Diners can do this by calling 715-866-5300. What can you expect in the future? A warm and welcoming dining experience for new diners as well as our regulars! Our goal is to increase awareness around the ADRC Dining Program and create an environment that is welcoming to all with the hopes to boost attendance of the ADRC Dining Sites. We look forward to serving you through our ADRC Nutrition Program and hope you enjoy the current and future changes!

Individuals with diabetes, their family members, and those who want to be proactive in preventing diabetes are invited to attend the 7th annual Diabetes Education Night on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2019, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Burnett Medical Center. The event is free to attend and will feature presentations by experts in diabetes management, exhibitors with educational information and supplies, door prizes, giveaways, and refreshments. Those with diabetes are encouraged to attend the event to learn how to better manage diabetes and control blood sugar levels. People who have not been diagnosed but may be at risk of developing diabetes are also encouraged to attend to learn about preventing or delaying the onset of diabetes. Factors that increase the risk of getting diabetes include being 45 years of age or older, having a family member with diabetes, having high glucose levels and blood pressure, having abnormal cholesterol levels, being overweight or obese, and being fairly inactive. Individuals are encouraged to pre-register by contacting Burnett Medical Center at 715-463-7285. Walk-ins are also welcome.

The schedule for the evening is as follows: 5:00-5:30 P.M. Participants will have the opportunity to visit the exhibitors, ask questions, and enjoy refreshments. 5:30 P.M. “Understanding Continuous Glucose Monitoring” Presentation by Medtronic. 6:15 P.M. “Panel Discussion: Learn from the Experts Themselves.” Individuals with diabetes will share their stories and lessons learned in managing diabetes, and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.

An obvious sign of scams: payment in gift cards GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

Recently, a resident of Wisconsin received a threatening call from someone saying he was from the Social Security Administration. The resident was told there was a warrant out for her arrest, and that she needed to cooperate, or she would be arrested. He told her exactly how many minutes away the local Dollar General store was from her house, which is where he told her to buy $200 worth of eBay gift cards. The caller then instructed her to give him the redemption codes on the gift cards. The resident was obviously scared and complied. After she met this first demand, the caller told her she needed to get another $500 worth of gift cards to get out of trouble. Luckily, on her drive back to the store, she realized this may be a scam and went to the sheriff’s office instead. Gift cards have become a popular way for scammers to steal money because they are nearly as untraceable as cash and are much more transferable. In previous scams, imposters would ask you to wire money to them but, increasingly, they tell you to go put money on a gift card. HOW THE SCAMS WORK The caller will often tell you to go buy a popular gift card from iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, or in the case above, eBay. The caller will tell you to get the card at a particular store near you such as Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, or a dollar store. They may even have you buy several cards at several stores. Sometimes, the caller will stay on the phone with you while you go to the store. Once you buy the card, the caller will

demand the gift card number and PIN on the back of the card. Those numbers let the caller immediately get the money loaded onto the card. Once the caller has those numbers, the money is gone, and usually without a trace. EXAMPLES OF THE TYPES OF CALLERS • Someone may claim to be from the Social Security Administration, telling you that you owe money and if you fail to pay you risk losing your monthly benefit check. • A caller may pretend to be from law enforcement, a court, or an attorney’s office, threatening arrest, court appearance, or bailing a family member out of jail. • Someone might call you and claim to be from the IRS, collecting back taxes or fines. • The callers might say they’re from tech support, asking for money to fix your computer. They may try to tell you that they’ve detected a virus on your computer that they will help you remove. • Someone might even say he or she is a family member with an emergency and needs money right now. • Callers pretend to be from a utility company, telling you to pay your bill by gift card or they’ll cut off your power or water. • Sellers on online auction sites who ask for gift cards will ask to “buy” big items like cars, motorcycles, boats, RVs, tractors and electronics. • Someone may pose as a servicemember to get your sympathy, saying he has to sell something quickly before deployment and needs you to pay by gift card. • Callers will say you’ve won a so-called prize for a sweepstakes you probably never entered – but first you

have to use a gift card to pay fees or other charges. • A caller may buy something from you, probably online, and will send a check for more than the purchase price. The caller will then ask you to give them the difference on a gift card, and the check will bounce. What all of these callers have in common is an urgent need for you to send money right away. The most important takeaway? Gift cards are not used — and cannot be used — to pay bail, taxes or court fines. Gift cards are just that – gifts.

METRO CREATIVE

Get your memory screen in November!

WHAT IF YOU PAID A SCAMMER WITH A GIFT CARD? If you paid a scammer with a gift card, tell the company that issued the card right away. When you contact the company, tell them the gift card was used in a scam. Ask them if they can refund your money. If you act quickly enough, the company might be able to get your money back. Also, tell the store where you bought the gift card as soon as possible. In the case above, the EBS helped the client notify the Dollar General store, which agreed to educate employees about these scams. You can also do the following: • Tell the Federal Trade Commission about any type of scam or fraud you detect at ftc.gov/complaint, or call toll-free: 1-877-FTC-HELP. • Report it to your state Attorney General (for a list of state offices, visit naag.org).

What is long-term care insurance?

No one knows what the future has in store. While the future might be unpredictable, it can still be planned for. Financial advisors often tout the benefits of saving for retirement, and for good reason. A carefree retirement that affords retirees a chance to pursue their passions without worrying about money is a dream for many people. However, studies show that people are not necessarily doing all they can to make that dream a reality. For example, a recent study from Northwestern Mutual found that 21 percent of Americans have no retirement savings at all. The picture is even more bleak in Canada, where a 2018 poll from CIBC found that 32 percent of Canadians between the ages of 45 and 64 had nothing saved for retirement. The freedom to travel might be something many people look forward to in retirement, and it even motivates many to open retirement accounts. But saving for retirement should not be seen as a means to simply financing a lavish, post-professional lifestyle. It’s essential that people also see saving for retirement as a means to account for unforeseen medical expenses, including personal and custodial care. Long-term care insurance is designed to provide such support, making it something anyone with an eye on their future should consider. According to LongTermCare.gov, longterm care insurance policies reimburse

policyholders a daily amount, up to a predetermined limit, for services to assist them with the activities of daily living. Policyholders can typically choose from a host of care options and benefits that can dramatically improve their quality of life should they ever prove incapable of caring for themselves. Seniors who live alone or those who live with an aging spouse who also has physical limitations can often use a helping hand to perform activities such as bathing, dressing and cooking, and long-term care insurance policies can be that helping hand. The Administration on Aging notes that medical underwriting is typically part of opening a long-term care insurance policy. As a result, adults who are in poor health or already receiving long-term care services may not qualify for long-term care insurance. Other circumstances may limit the amount of coverage a person can buy. Various factors may affect the cost of a long-term care insurance policy. Such factors include a person’s age when he or she opens the policy and the daily payout a potential policyholder wants. For example, the older a person is when opening a policy the more expensive that policy is likely to be. Long-term care insurance should be a part of retirement planning.

In September, approximately 411,000 beneficiaries across the country who directly pay their Medicare premiums through Easy Pay (Automated Clearing House payments) had their October premiums deducted twice from their bank accounts. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) stated that the U.S. Treasury Department is working to correct this duplicate charge. The Treasury Department is also reaching out to financial institutions to let them know about error and ask them to treat customers with understanding. Beneficiaries concerned with overdraft or other fees related to the issue should contact their bank and ask that the fees be waived. Beneficiaries may contact 1-800-MEDICARE, for any questions or to find out whether or not their account was affected.

GRANTSBURG – In a matter of nine sets, the Grantsburg volleyball team earned another regional title and another shot at St. Croix Falls. The Pirates face the Saints – the team responsible for two of their five losses this season – in their sectional opener on Thursday, after rolling through their first three postseason matches. Grantsburg started with a three-set win (25-10, 25-5, 25-9) over Chequamegon on Oct. 22. Hanne Johnson had seven kills, four aces and three assists; Sadye Bunting had seven digs; Ellie Duncan had 13 assists and four aces while Olivia Ohnstad had five digs and four kills. In their second of three postseason wins, the Pirates earned their third win (25-18, 25-15, 25-22) over Webster this season on Oct. 24 and earned a matchup with Colfax for the regional title.

‘We had our chances’ SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

SIREN – A season split was the best Northwood-Solon Springs could hope for. And fulfilling that hope meant an end to Siren’s season. Part of what earned the Dragons a first-round home game in the WIAA 8-player football postseason was their 28-26 win over the Evergreens in the third week of the season. But that home advantage was as successful for Siren as it was for Northwood-Solon Springs back in September. The Evergreens held the Dragons to just one score on Friday night and dashed any thoughts of a comeback with a pair of insurance touchdowns in the fourth quarter for a 24-8 win, ending Siren’s season with a 7-3 overall record. Though Northwood-Solon Springs was a bit more active defensively than it was in the season’s first matchup, Siren’s coach said a plethora of self-inflicted errors doomed his team. “(Northwood-Solon Springs) brought more pressure than the

WEBSTER Before getting bumped from the postseason by Grantsburg, the Tigers earned a four-set win over Cumberland.

said. “We had 10 dropped balls, including two touchdowns. “We had our chances.” Siren trailed 6-0 entering the second quarter and though the Evergreens added another touchdown, the Dragons got on the board in the passing game. Jordan Webster found Brady Kosloski for a 34-yard touchdown pass and followed with a 2-point conversion run. They started the second half trailing just 12-8, but were unable to get more points on the board. “We just picked the worst day to play our worst game and (Northwood-Solon Springs) played their best game of the year,” Karsten said. “They went on the road in the playoffs and took it to us to win the game. If you don’t play your best game, you can get beat and that is what happened.” Karsten’s analysis that the Dragons’ mistakes were destructive is verified by the final yardage totals. Despite reaching the end zone only once in comparison to the opposition’s four, the Dragons

BALSAM LAKE – The second time around wasn’t much better for the Grantsburg football team. While the Pirates hoped to even the season series with Unity and advance in the postseason with a road win last Friday, the Eagles once again grabbed an early lead and held it, this time for a 38-20 win to end Grantsburg’s season. The Unity run game that provided a two-touchdown first-quarter lead finished with 352 yards rushing while the Eagles’ defense limited the Pirates to 199 total yards. “We didn’t block or tackle to our potential all night,” Grantsburg coach Adam Hale said. Unity took an 8-0 lead with an 8-yard run from Adam Weihe and a 2-point conversion run from Jake Bloom. The Eagles then capped another scoring drive with a 3-yard run from Bloom, though the conversion failed to keep the score at 14-0. “We got off to a rough start and went 3-and-out our first drive, which didn’t help as (Unity) capitalized on their opening drive,” Hale said. But, not all Grantsburg’s second-quarter

Tigers end season in Bangor SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

BANGOR – The Webster football team desperately wanted to play the spoiler role. With a 4-4 record to end the regular season, the Tigers were virtually assured of drawing a difficult opponent for the first round of WIAA postseason play and last Friday, they wanted to start a playoff run with an upset win. But they weren’t given enough room by Bangor to even put points on the board, let alone earn an upset win to ruin the Cardinals’ unblemished season record. Bangor held the Tigers to just 73 yards of total offense in a 40-0 win to end Webster’s season. “Bangor is the best team that we have seen all year,” Webster coach Andy Smith said. “We were able to match them at the line of scrimmage for most of the night but their running backs were able to break tackles in the back field for some big runs when they had to have them.” Though the final score was lopsided and yards were hard to come by, the Tigers remained within a score of the Cardinals through the first quarter. Bangor took a 7-0 lead in the first with a 30-yard touchdown run from Carter Horstman and an extra point kick.

outgained the Evergreens in passing and rushing yards. Webster passed for 170 yards while he, Cordell Fischer and Riley Churchhill combined for 66 rushing yards. The Evergreens had 213 total

yards. Northwood-Solon Spring’s Jeffrey Meling went 12-for-26 passing for 156 yards; Colin Krmpotich had 77 yards rushing on 13 carries and one of the team’s three rushing touchdowns. Gavyn Anton led the Dragons

with 20 tackles; Trevor Stanford had 15 tackles and six catches for 69 yards while Fischer had 14 tackles and 54 yards rushing. The Evergreens improved to 8-2 overall on the season and advance to face Luck this Friday at 7 p.m.

A number of Tiger defenders work together to bring down the Cardinals ball carrier.

But, the second quarter was a different story. The Cardinals scored three touchdowns while holding Webster scoreless to take a 26-0 lead into halftime. Horstman scored on an 18-yard run that put Bangor up 14-0, then followed with a 7-yard run and a 1-yard run before the break. All the while the Cardinals dashed each Webster effort to get back in the game. “We moved the ball inside their 30 (yard line) on the first drive but the drive stalled after a penalty,” Smith said. “We also had a pass knocked away at the 5-yard line in the second half. “Our guys played extremely hard all night, played for each other and left everything they had on the field.” Bangor added a pair of insurance scores in the second half, getting a 17-yard touchdown run from Mathieu Osterle and a 19-yard touchdown run from Owen Johnson. Horstman finished with 193 yards rushing on 30 carries for a Bangor run game that totaled 277 yards in the game. The Cardinals attempted just five passes in the game, one was intercepted by Webster’s Keith Glienke. Coleton Peterson was 5-for-16 passing for 30 yards and two interceptions for the Tigers; he also had 32 yards on seven carries to account for more than half of Webster’s yardage total. Glienke had three catches for five yards while Nathan Stadler had 10 yards rushing on eight carries. Timothy Fornego had 17 tackles on defense for Webster while Glienke and Harlo Olson had 13 tackles each. Evan Sikorski added 10 tackles. “Bangor is a solid team that has a chance to be playing at Camp Randall for the third time in five years,” Smith said. Webster concluded the 2019 season with a 4-5 overall record.

drives were short. The Pirates got on the board and moved to within a score when Aidan Burkman crossed the end zone on a 1-yard run, followed by an extra point from Jared VanWatermuelen. Another first-half score would have given Grantsburg a chance to tie the game or take the lead, but the Eagles denied any more points and extended their lead prior to halftime. Heath Foeller capped a Unity scoring drive with a 5-yard touchdown run and the Eagles went up 22-7 with a 2-point conversion run from Jack Nelson. But, the Pirates had an early second-half rejuvenation that seemed to give them hope. They pulled back to within a score with another touchdown from Burkman. His 1-yard run and following kick from VanWatermuelen made it a 22-14 score early in the third quarter, but the Eagles had a quick response. The Eagles regained a two-score lead before the end of the third quarter with one of their six pass attempts in the game. Nelson connected with Luke Flaherty on a 17-yard touchdown pass and Nelson also added the 2-point run to give Unity a 30-14 lead to start the fourth. “We came out with a little more fire in the third quarter and went right down the field to score, only to have (Unity) answer on the next drive,” Hale said. Grantsburg eventually got another touchdown but couldn’t get back within a score of the Eagles. A 1-yard touchdown run from

Levi Miller and another VanWatermuelen kick were the remaining points for the Pirates, but couldn’t threaten the Eagles’ lead. Unity added an insurance score in the fourth quarter, getting a 5-yard touchdown run from Nelson and a 2-point conversion pass from Nelson to Andrew Krone. “We just wanted to end drives with scores and we didn’t do that enough,” Hale said. Foeller led the Eagles with 118 yards rushing on 13 carries; Nelson had 89 yards on 14 carries

and Bloom had 79 yards on nine carries. Grantsburg’s Sterling McKinley completed eight of his 16 pass attempts for 80 yards and rushed for 35 yards on seven carries. Burkman had 51 yards on 13 carries. Trevor Anderson led the defense with 11 tackles; VanWatermuelen had 10 tackles and McKinley added nine. The Pirates finish the 2019 season with a 6-4 overall record. Unity advances to face Spring Valley this Friday.

SIREN The Dragons managed to claim a set in their regional opener against Luck, but the Cardinals won the final two sets to end Siren’s season. After the Cardinals won the

Gerber and Meyers headed to State ﬁnals SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

MINOCQUA – If not for a few points, Will Gerber could have taken the carpool lane to Wisconsin Rapids this weekend. The Grantsburg boys cross country sophomore earned a state-final spot and a ride to Wisconsin Rapids for Saturday’s WIAA Division 3 finale at Ridges Golf Course with his 4th-place finish in last weekend’s South Shore sectional. All his teammates, meanwhile, were just eight points from going along. Gerber led a trio of Grantsburg runners who earned top-20 finishes in the sectional and ended with 128 points, placing the Pirates third in the sectional that advances the top pair of teams to the state final. Unity (73) won the team title while Chequamegon (120) edged the Pirates for the other transfer spot, despite having just one runner with SENTINEL PHOTO a top-20 sectional Grantsburg Sophomore Will Gerber finish. Webster (368) finished 14th and Frederic-Luck was two runners shy of qualifying for a team score. Gerber’s time was less than a minute behind Birchwood’s Matthew Marcinske, who won the sectional in 16 minutes, 34.2 seconds. No other runner recorded a sub 17-minute time and Gerber (17:27.1) was one of just four runners to finish in under 18 minutes. Brody Bongaarts (18:33.7) finished ninth to give

the Pirates a second top-10 finisher while Connor DeTienne (18:36.2) was just 1.4 seconds from a top-10 finish, placing 11th. Jordan Janes (19:40.1) was 38th for the Pirates and Mason Arnold (21:15.6) was 72nd. Edwin Janssen led the Tigers with a 54th-place finish in 20:17.3 and was closely followed by teammate Caleb Smith (20:22.3) in 55th. Sam Smith (23:28.2) was 97th; Chris Rollins (23:37) was 98th and Brandon Petersen (24:36.3) was 107th. Frederic-Luck’s Mike Boland was about five seconds from a top-50 finish, placing 52nd in 20:14.9. Chris Hill (22:09.7) was 85th and Richard Bugella (29:54) was 110th. The Division 3 boys cross country state final is scheduled for a 3:10 p.m. start and is the last of the six state-final events on Saturday. GIRLS CC With 16.3 seconds to spare, Ayla Meyer earned a trip to this Saturday’s WIAA Division 3 cross country state finals. Meyer led the Grantsburg girls team in the South Shore sectional last Saturday with a 7th-place finish in 21 minutes, 52.9 seconds. Her time was good enough to claim the fifth of five individual transfer spots to this weekend’s final in Wisconsin Rapids. Grantsburg, along with Webster, were unable to claim either of the team transfer spots however. Chequamegon won the sectional with 49 points and Prentice was second with 79. Grantsburg (137) was fifth and Webster (241) was 10th. Alexis Slater (23:44.7) added a 25th-place finish for the Pirates; Tristin Kreuser-Peterson (24:59.8) was 45th; Hope McKinley (25:01.7) was 46th and Savanna Trittelwitz (25:30.9) was 48th. Belle Quimby (25:42.6) was 50th and Alex Kammeyer (30:07.3) was 83rd as Grantsburg’s additional runners. Jenna Gomulak led the Tigers with a 41st-place finish in 24:51.6 and Emily Doriott (25:43.7) was just 1.1 seconds from adding another top-50 finish for Webster, placing 51st. Dahlia Dorn (27:44) was 75th; Felicity Lamb (27:50.8) was 76th and Grace McCool (28:41.7) was 78th. Arwen Gustafson (48:05.4) was the team’s additional runner, finishing 92nd. The Division 3 girls state final is scheduled to start at 1:20 p.m. at Ridges Golf Course on Saturday.

GREEN BAY—Aaron Rodgers is one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks. But the 35-year-old two-time MVP and Super Bowl champion had to basically start from scratch in his 15th season. Matt LaFleur brought a new offense, terminology and schemes to Green Bay. Rodgers had to learn fast. So far, so good. LaFleur presented Rodgers with the game ball on Sunday after he threw for five touchdowns and ran for another in a 42-24 win over the Raiders. “It feels good,” Rodgers said. “I feel like this has been coming. I really do. I feel like we’ve been building and I’ve been feeling a lot more comfortable. And Matt’s been feeling comfortable with him calling it for me and feeling when I’m in a rhythm and when to be aggressive and when to pull back.” WHAT’S WORKING LaFleur said Monday that he likes where he and Rodgers’ relationship is at this point. “I just think any time as a play-caller, that relationship with the quarterback is absolutely critical,” he said. “Whether it’s here or whether it was in my past in Tennessee, wherever it’s been, I’ve always valued that relationship because you gotta be on the same page. “The way I view the quarterback is, it’s an extension of the coaching staff. We gotta be on the same page. I think that just like any relationship, it takes time to make sure the communication is on point. I like where we’re at right now, but we gotta continue to work each and every day just like any other relationship.” Rodgers set a single-game franchise record with a perfect 158.3 passer rating after completing 25 of 31 passes for 429 yards and no interceptions, all while his top target, Davante Adams, was sidelined with turf toe. “I still don’t understand how they put that rating together but it does sound pretty good,” Rodgers said. Rodgers also threw touchdown passes to two different running backs (Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams) in a game for the first time in his career. If Rodgers has finally hit his stride in LaFleur’s offense, the rest of the league is in trouble. WHAT’S NOT WORKING Green Bay’s leaky run defense struggled on Sunday as rookie Josh Jacobs had 124 yards, including a 42-yarder on the opening drive. Now, Jacobs has had a successful first season. He entered Sunday with 430 yards rushing for the second most by a Raiders rookie through five games behind Bo Jackson’s 475 yards in 1987. But Green Bay is allowing 128.9 rushing yards per game, which ranks 24th in the league. The Packers allowed 155 on Sunday. INJURED Adams watch continues, as the two-time Pro Bowler continues to work back from his toe injury. But there’s no rush to get him back on the field, especially while other guys are filling the void. “I can promise you we need him and we’re a better offense with 17 on the field,” Rodgers said of Adams. “We’ve just been spreading it out a little bit more and guys have been stepping up. ... I think without him there, we’ve had to scheme up plays for other guys and guys have made plays when their number’s been called.” NEXT STEPS The Packers play at Kansas City on Sunday night. The Chiefs will be without reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes, who suffered a dislocated kneecap Thursday night. “With Mahomes’ status, the (Kansas City) defense is going to feel like they need to pick up the slack a little bit so we know it’s going to be a challenge,” offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga said Monday. “It’s a big road game. We’re going to have to prepare for that and get ready and try to play some of our best ball out there.”

Reactions from local leaders The Sentinel reached out to a number of community leaders to get their insight on this story and their experience with the growth of meth in Burnett County. “The stories in this article are very similar to what is happening in Burnett County. Methamphetamine has been a large problem in our county since the early 2000s,” Sheriff Tracy Finch told the Sentinel as how law enforcement sees the problem. Allison Fern is the director of Health and Human Services for Burnett County. She added insight on the other side, not law enforcement, of the issue. “There were several points to the story, primarily the testimonials provided by those in recovery that resonate with what we hear from the families and individuals we work with. We have seen that this drug in particular gets ahold of people almost immediately and it quickly becomes their priority,” Fern said. She explained that more funding is needed for substance abuse regardless of whether it is methamphetamine or other narcotics. “We need the ability to have flexibility in funding and understanding that the local level knows where best we need to target those dollars. This needs to be coupled with the understanding that different substances need varying ways to intervene and support the individual. The one part in the article really stood out to me, of having a ‘qualifying addiction.’ While I understand the limitations placed on that provider due to the requirements of their funding, we are certainly not doing individuals, families or children any favors by picking and choosing which substance should or should not receive funding for services.” Finch added that battling opioids should be expanded by the federal government. “If the federal government would battle meth as they are battling opioids it would definitely benefit Burnett County. There is a severe lack of funding for treatment for those suffering from meth addiction. From my experience over the years, those addicted to meth need longer term treatment. The standard 28-day programs do not seem to be as effective as longer-term treatment, such as the Salvation Army or Teen Challenge programs. It is also important to think about employment and housing for people once they have completed a treatment program,” Finch said. Another troubling and not so noticeable side of the issue is what it costs to have substance abuse in the community. Fern spoke Tracy Finch about out of placement costs Burnett County Sheriff for children, while Finch spoke to the amount of dollars spent on transporting prisoners from one facility to another because the Burnett County Jail is usually full. Fern stated that according to studies done in the county between 82 and 86% of children in out of home care are due to parental meth use. She added that from 2013 and 2017 out of home placement costs increased by over 900%, going from $69,577 to $720,912 over four years. Then in 2018 they rose over $60,000 to $782,859. When asked about what the average citizen can do both Fern and Finch had a number of suggestions for helping prevent substance abuse. “The average citizen can help to combat the methamphetamine problem by providing us with information on who they believe is using or selling meth. It's beneficial if people can get license plates and descriptions of vehicles,” Finch said. “Also, if people suspect children are being neglected or abused by parents using or selling drugs, please notify law enforcement or Social Services.” Fern gave similar advice and provided resources for those who may need them. “I think by being aware, asking questions, and seeking understanding regarding addiction and mental health are extremely important. In recently attending the Written Off documentary, I think the concerned citizens seeking understanding and trying to educate themselves about the issues within the community was very promising. I also feel that if you see something, say something approach is vital. If you have a concern, report it---whether that be to law enforcement or child protection. The HHS main line, (715) 349-7600 weekdays from 8:30 a.m. -4:30 p.m., or 911 if an emergency.”

‘If the federal government would battle meth as they are battling opioids it would deﬁnitely beneﬁt Burnett County.’

METH: treatment seen as major obstacle CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

with traumas that her students have experienced. Some are unkempt and unfocused; others fall asleep because they cannot get rest at home. “It’s like a stone in a pond,” Lindbom says. “The ripple effect of meth may not feel relevant unless it’s someone really close to you, but that ripple still reaches all of the people in our county.” Children can be directly affected by their parents’ meth use, metabolizing the drug by inhaling it or absorbing its residue through their skin, Kerber says. When smoked, meth is like cigarette smoke but heavier. It gets everywhere, clinging to furniture, clothing and bedding, she says. METH HEADS SOUTH As opioids have taken center stage, Journey’s Chauhan says meth has been “hiding in the closet” in southern Wisconsin, in part because of the lower risk of overdose. “It’s starting to trickle south,” Chauhan says. “It’s a Wisconsin thing, it’s not just a northwest Wisconsin thing now.” Kimberly Hill runs a sober-living house for women with opioid addictions in Dodgeville in southwestern Wisconsin. It has taken a long time for these grants to reach the area, she says. Three women currently living at Recovery Pathways’ Opportunity House say they used opioids — and meth. They say meth use is rampant in southwestern Wisconsin, with few options for treatment. It is the only recovery house in Iowa County, with the next nearest facility in Madison, an hour away. The grant that funds the house requires the money be used for opioid-related

services, which has resulted in Hill having to turn people away because they do not have a qualifying addiction. Hill says the cravings for meth and opioids are emotionally and physically draining. Jessica Shepherd started living at the recovery house about a month ago. She says the cravings for meth — which she used daily since trying it for the first time — are very difficult to escape. Ashley Beach used meth in part so she would have more energy while working night shifts. She worked nights to provide for her children and is pregnant now. Children are not allowed in most recovery houses, but Hill says she will not make Beach leave once the baby is born. The facility is funded by a program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Bridget Mouchon-Humphrey, program director for the Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program Inc., helped write the grant, which covers Iowa, Lafayette, Grant, Green and Richland counties. She says the group specified opioids because the drug was in the spotlight. But now they are worried about meth, too. “People will just bounce to a different drug, and meth seems to be the drug people are bouncing to. That’s always been the case, it always will be the case,” she says. TREATMENT FOR METH ELUSIVE In some ways, treating an addiction to meth is more difficult than opioids. There is no FDA-approved medication to help with meth withdrawal. And it can take an entire 28-day program to withdraw, making patients unable to focus on treatment, says Corina Fisher, behavioral care therapist at Prevea

Health in Chippewa Falls. Fisher says longer-term programs that span months to a year are “very beneficial” for recovery, especially for meth, which has a high relapse potential. “In some ways, we focus more on the opioids because there’s ways to solve the problem. There’s medications, there’s watching how you’re prescribing it … but with meth, we have very limited options of how to fully stop it,” Fisher says. Jess Przybylski sat in jail for four months until a bed opened up at an inpatient treatment facility. Przybylski, who has since regained custody of her children, says that without longer-term help like she received, many people leave treatment programs and go back to the life they were living before. “If you get out and you don’t have anywhere to go, where are you going to go? Back to what you’re comfortable with and back to where you were using,” Przybylski says. This story is part of a public affairs reporting fellowship sponsored by Madison’s the Cap Times newspaper.

Healthy donors needed to maintain blood supply ST. PAUL— As influenza activity picks up this fall, the American Red Cross is urging healthy donors of all blood types to give blood or platelets to ensure a strong blood supply for patients in need. Blood and platelets can only be given by donors who are feeling well.

FLU SHOT DOESN’T AFFECT BLOOD DONATION ELIGIBILITY One way to maintain health is to get a flu vaccine each fall. There is no waiting period to give blood or platelets after receiving a flu shot as long as the donor is symptom-free and fever-free. For those that have the flu, it is important to wait until they no longer exhibit flu symptoms, have recovered completely and feel well before attempting to donate. Donors must feel healthy and well on the day of donation.

ALL BLOOD TYPES NEEDED NOW Donors of all blood types, especially platelet donors and those with type O blood, are urged to give now to ensure a stable supply this fall. Stay healthy this flu season and make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.

If you don’t do it, you don’t really believe it

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” – Jeremiah 33:3 Each year, I set out new goals to work towards because they give me energy, a sense of direction and a plan of action. I have learned that I can have a good plan, but without action nothing gets done. People judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg. A thousand words will not leave

the lasting impression as one deed. Action is the natural friend of direction. Make your goals intentional and always followed by appropriate action. Action subdues fear. When we challenge our fears, we master them. When we wrestle with our problems they Pastor CJ Johnson lose their grip on Adventure Church us. When we dare

to confront the things that scare us we open the door to our liberty. Momentum doesn’t just happen; the common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true: action precedes motivation. Don’t wait to be motivated! Take the bull by the horns until you have him screaming for mercy. Do you believe in the goals you set for yourself? Then take the steps to make them a reality! Nothing is more exhausting than searching for the easy way to do things. Laziness keeps going on and on, but soon enough it arrives at poverty. We are weakest when we try to get something from nothing. A man of

words and not of deeds is like a flower bed full of weeds. Don’t let weeds grow around your dreams and goals this year. To only dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are. Some people dream of great accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them. We need to be a cross between a carrier pigeon and a woodpecker; be not only the carrier of the message, but be the knock at the door. Let’s all walk out His plan.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

OCTOBER 30, 2019

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

DID YOU KNOW? Pathology reports are documents that contain diagnoses after doctors have examined cells and tissues under a microscope. According to the National Cancer Institute, pathology reports, which play an important role in diagnosing and treating cancer, also may contain information regarding the size, shape and appearance of a specimen as it looks to the naked eye. People who are diagnosed with breast cancer may receive pathology reports that indicate the presence of tumor necrosis. According to the nonproﬁt organization Breastcancer.org, the presence of tumor necrosis means that dead breast cancer cells were found within the tissue sample. Tumor necrosis, though it is often limited to a small area within the tissue sample, suggests a patient is battling an aggressive form of breast cancer.

Signs and screenings There are a number of ways doctors can test for breast abnormalities, including simple physical exams and family history assessments to X-rays and other radiation screenings to find a tumor, pinpoint a problem area or determine how far cancer has spread. The testing will start with basic exams and mammograms. If your doctor finds anything abnormal in the regular screenings, she may order additional tests such as ultrasounds, MRIs, blood tests or a biopsy. SIGNS OF BREAST CANCER Although cancer presents differently in different people, the National Cancer Institute listed a number of warning signs for which women should be on the alert and contact their doctor if these appear. They include: a lump or thickening in or near the breast or underarm; changes in a breast’s size or shape; skin

puckering or dimpling; a nipple turned inward; fluid coming from the nipple; or scaly, red or swollen skin. SELF-EXAMS Checking yourself can be part of a healthy breast regimen. According to the NCI, self-exams have not been found to help reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer, but it can offer some benefit; many women find lumps on their own, though these frequently are not indicative of cancer. The breast tissue can have cysts and other lumps. It’s important to remember breast tissue changes during menstruation and menopause; pregnancy, aging and taking birth control all can cause the breasts to feel different. CLINICAL BREAST EXAMS During an annual physical, your doctor will examine your breasts for lumps

or other changes. She will also feel around the breast and test the lymph nodes, which are one of the first places cancer spreads. As with self-exams, the breast tissue can change from year to year; your doctor will determine if further testing is needed. During this time, you can also talk about your family history with your doctor, which could be indicative of cancer risk.

MAMMOGRAMS A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast, which can find tumors that can’t be felt with physical exams. Mammograms can also find small deposits of calcium that may indicate breast cancer. Doctors also may use it after breast cancer has been found to determine how far it’s spread. The medical community recommends regular mammograms for women age 40 and older.
