Back to the drawing board Towns association to seek bids for ambulance service BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—About the only thing we know for sure from last week’s Burnett County Towns Association meeting is the cost of an ambulance service for county residents is going up — however, the new price point is still on the negotiating table. “After running the numbers from the last year we have come to the grim re-

alization that we are losing $350,000 on the contract we have with Burnett County,” Rick Wagner, director of outstate ambulance operations for North Ambulance, told association members. Pat Coyne, Director for North Ambulance, agreed. “It apparently was bad negotiating on my part basing the increases in the contract on the increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI),” he said. “The CPI is not keeping pace with our increases.” Price increases for the 4-year contract, which expires at the end of the year, come in the odd-years of the

contract and are based on how much the CPI has increased. Currently, based on per capita, the subsidy amounts to roughly $53 a person. “Just to come in at a breakeven level to meet North’s loss, we’re looking at increasing the subsidy to about $80,” Chris Sybers, towns association chairman, voiced. “It may be shocking,” Gary Lundberg, Town of Scott chairman, pointed out. “But we need to get used to the idea of being on the fringes.” However, the increase SEE AMBULANCE, PAGE 6

Strike! Danbury businesses pitched in for the ailing Danbury Lions to ensure the annual ice ﬁshing contest on Burlingame Lake last Saturday took place. The Fishbowl Bar set up a pair of bowling alleys on the ice and Sam Hope, pictured here, recorded a strike. More photos on Page 14.

HERTEL—“We invite anyone to learn about our culture and our history,” St. Croix Chippewa Education Director Karen Washington stated as she stood in the new Four Directions Library inside the education building in Hertel. “There isn’t enough motivation in school to get kids to learn about their history — they usually depend on tribal elders.” The library also helps meet the statutory requirements of Act 31, that all school districts provide instruction in the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of the 12 American Indian nations and tribes in the state. The Ojibwe name of the library, Niiwinakeyaa Wendaanimak, was

Break-in leads to chase, dogs, drone and more — oh my! SIREN—An attempted break-in at the Ellis Avenue Apartments in Siren led law enforcement officials on a six-plus hour pursuit, ending in three arrests. “We got there just past 4 p.m. Monday afternoon,” Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers said Tuesday. “The three alleged thieves saw us and took off in a Chevy Tahoe.”

He said law enforcement chased the Tahoe north on Hwy. 35 to the roundabout, and then east on Hwy. 70. “We lost the vehicle around the Viola Lake area,” Sybers noted. “The officers started to fan out and I saw fresh skid marks on Dake Road.” He travelled Dake Road until he saw a driveway with tracks going in but not

County kicks in cash for clinic BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—“It takes a village to raise a child” is a phrase used to express the need for everyone to work together to achieve a desired goal. That was the case last month when the Burnett County Board of Supervisors voted to contribute roughly $54,000 toward the demolition of the old high school building in Webster. “The Village of Webster is looking at redeveloping the site the old high school sits on,” Burnett County Administrator Nate Ehalt explained. The village is considering hosting a St. Croix Regional Medical Center satellite clinic for that site but first things first. “The village is looking at $672,000 in demolition costs,” Ehalt continued. “They already have funds from a Community Development Block Grant and from SCRMC but are still looking for $136,000.” Ehalt said the village approached him to see if the county could contribute funds. “The Administration Committee voted to fund about 40 percent of the remainder from the development rights fund,” County Board Chairman Don Taylor, told his fellow board members. “It certainly is a good fit.” The development rights fund was established in 2006 and is comprised of 20 percent of revenues generated from land sales within Burnett County. The board enthusiastically agreed to the donation. “Think of what it’ll do for the county,” Supervisor Larry Main exclaimed. Supervisor Emmett Bryne agreed. “It’ll be a good draw for the whole area — not just Webster,” he added. Webster Village Board member Tim Maloney, who was on hand to answer any questions or concerns, said the plan will take an undesirable site and turn it into a benefit for a lot of people. “By far, this will be the biggest and busiest of the other three SCRMC satellite clinics,” Maloney pointed out. “The $3-plus million clinic will be almost double the size of the SCRMC clinic in Frederic.” INCREASE TO SALES TAX The odds of the law passing the State Legislature are

how and where the money would be spent.” But, Ehalt brought some reality to the discussion. “I don’t have a lot of confidence it will pass,” he opined. “Especially given the Governor has said there has to be an offset (a tax decrease) for any tax increase.” The lone “Nay” vote came from Supervisor Brent Blomberg. “It’s a slippery slope,” he said of the tax increase. “I’m not a fan of increasing taxes.”

admittedly minute, but the board agreed to add Burnett County’s name to a list of counties asking the legislature to enact a law allowing participating counties to impose a .1 percent sales tax for economic development, tourism and infrastructure. “It would amount to about $100,000 annually if it were approved,” Taylor remarked. “If it were approved, the county would have to adopt some sort of ordinance on

In other business: • The board okayed May 13 and Sept. 16 as the two dates for Automotive Adventures to have its radar run at the county’s airport. “This will be their third year,” Supervisor Chuck Awe reported. “It has been a success, given the weather they have had to endure.” • The Forestry Department logged $1.3 million in timber sales in 2016, but administrator Jake Nichols was hesitant to look ahead too far. “The tariff tax in Canada came off last year, so instead of lumber yards being near empty, they are plumb full,” he noted. “It killed our local markets.” He said he didn’t know what would happen next and forecast a slow first quarter. • The board recognized the 34 years of service former Treasurer Joanne Pahl gave to the county. Pahl retired at the end of 2016. “When I started, I had a typewriter — it didn’t have a correction tape, but it was electric,” she recalled with a smile. “I’ve seen a lot of changes in my 34 years.” • The board also recognized the years Steve Wierschem gave to the county Joanne Pahl as director of Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. “He put the Fort on the map,” Taylor said. “His will be big shoes to fill.”

Pooper Bowl Of the four teams in the conference finals, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t rooting for the Packers. I mean, what a Cinderella story — to start 4-6 with a threat of missing the playoffs only to run the table to finish the season at 10-6, make the playoffs and then dispatch the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys to set the stage for a showdown with Atlanta. My heart was behind the green and gold but in my head I knew the Falcons would be the team representing the NFC in the big game. So, following the Packer debacle, I was foolishly anticipating a PittsSeems to burgh/Atlanta Super Bowl but like the NFC title game, I knew it’d be a Me tough row to hoe for the Steelers. Yep, there’d be no waving of TerTodd Beckmann rible Towels at NRG Stadium in Houston much like there wouldn’t be Cheeseheads dancing in the aisles. But the Patriots? C’mon. No doubt, they are 16-2 and deserve to play in the big game — they have one of the best quarterbacks to ever strap on a jock, guys who punish defenses running the ball, an elite corps of receivers to keep that run-defense honest, an opportunistic defense and a coach who could rival Vince Lombardi. But as an undying fan of the underdog, I long for games where the outcome is not a foregone conclusion — much like the Packer-Cowboy Divisional Playoff game. Outside of a huge first quarter for the Pack, the outcome of the game was not decided until the final Todd Beckman whistle. I don’t mind saying I’m a big fan of offense. Heck, that’s why I love college ball — there never seems to be a lot of defense on display. But back to the Packers-Cowboys game. The Cowboys kept battling until they had fought all the way back and tied the score. The Pack would score but logically you knew it wouldn’t hold up. Sure enough, Dak and teammates found enough holes in the Packer D to tie up the game again. With less than two minutes to go, the Pack drove into field goal range. Mason Crosby had to kick the game-winner twice because Dallas called a time-out to ice him, but the Pack ended up victorious. I told an acquaintance it was the best game of the playoffs — and so far, I haven’t been wrong. So who will win the Patriots-Falcons Super Bowl on Sunday? The Patriots, of course. But it won’t matter to me — I’ll be doing my taxes and waiting to see the new Doritos ad.

the shooting of four unarmed college students at Kent State in 1970, was nostalgic, but learning the back story was even better. David Crosby explained that the group’s single “Teach Your Children” was climbing the charts in May of 1970, just before the shootings. Neil Young wrote “Ohio,” a strong protest, against the war in Vietnam and its expansion into Cambodia. The group recorded it and within a week, pulled their single “Teach Your Children” in favor of “Ohio.” Crosby said that this never could be done today, due to business concerns. The leadership of the record label had the courage to make the change. Paulson explained that censorship of music generally revolves around sexuality, drugs and language. The Everly Brothers’ 1958 hit, “Wake Up, Little Susie,” was banned in many areas because of the sexual implications of the lyrics. It went on to be a hit and is now seen as what it was — an innocent song about a boy and girl who fell asleep at the drive-in. Perhaps the most touching story was about Sam Cooke. Cooke wrote and recorded “A Change is Gonna Come” after being denied a room at a motel in New Orleans, because he was black. Cooke was murdered in 1964 and never got to see his song become a civil rights anthem and eventually be used by candidate Barack Obama when he sought the presidency.

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

The peace of a small town

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR How about some leadership?

I travelled to the Twin Cities last week to see family and friends. Come March, my escape from there is a year ago. Driving on the busy freeways again, it seems everyone is going 75-plus mph. My old car starts shaking in the high 60s, so I travel at about 65. As one might imagine, everyone is blowing by me. On the one occasion I move to the left lane to pass, I look over and smiled — just another soul content to stay out of the pack (or another for whom a new car is also not in the budget). I simply crank the tunes, and enjoy the drive when it feels like my life Newbie in is not being threatened by vehicles on my tail or those cutting too close the North- in passing. The tunes also drown out those mysterious car noises calling woods my attention. I never understood the mentality Lori Callahan of those drivers who hang on someone’s bumper for an extended period of time, then finally roar around and past, oftentimes throwing sneers and more my way. With multiple lanes in particular, they could avoid following me entirely — are they control freaks or something? It was wonderful spending time with my son’s family and connecting with a couple friends again. However, I was reminded clearly why I left after all the noise, noise, noise and millions of cars and their occupants, each one in a bigger hurry than the next; with drivers diverse in abilities and sometimes frightening inabilities; with too many paying more attention to their hand-held devices than the road; flashing lights and sirens everywhere; more cars and people scrambling to get in and out of MacDonald’s, Sam’s Clubs, Walmarts, Walgreens and more that dot every block and corner with obtrusive lighting and signage. My mind flashes to an establishment south of Falun on Hwy W. It sports a humble sign reading “Beef and Booze,” and I laugh. Now that gets to the point. And, as happens whenever I drive by, I ask, “No buns?” After a day of metro driving and visiting, I was heading to my final stop. Two blocks away from it, while waiting to turn right on red in the heavy traffic, I was rear-ended. That darn rear-mounted spare tire that has freeloaded on the back of the CRV for the past 18 years was finally useful. It was a van that struck me, its front flat and level with the Honda, and landed its punch square on that spare, avoiding any damage to his vehicle or mine. “I didn’t know you had stopped,” he explained. “The light was red!” I rebuffed incredulously, not to mention one can’t fling their car blindly into traffic and hope for the best, or that my brake lights should have clued him in. After giving him a little piece of my mind, we went our separate ways. Heading home, that last turn east off the freeway finally eases me, and I hope the frenzied travel hasn’t reverted me or my car back to old ways formerly necessitated by two decades in the “eat-or-be-eaten” metropolitan traffic. See, when I arrived here last spring, I had a heck of a time adhering to the 25-mph speed limit and found myself too often exceeding it. And, it wasn’t only me — my car was having trouble, too. That 25 mph was just plain too fast for second gear and too slow for third. It was either whining or dogging. My car finally gave up the growl and now moves nicely in third.

To the Editor: Now that a Federal Judicial Panel has ordered the Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature to redraw the Congressional District maps, cleverly gerrymandered to favor Republican candidates starting in 2011, it is the perfect time for our Legislators Sheila Harsdorf and Adam Jarchow to show us some leadership and sponsor the legislation to move Wisconsin to non-partisan redistricting. Everyone is tired of the private, closed-door meetings of the Republican Caucus to draw the district lines, even requiring oaths of secrecy to view what was being worked on before the final maps were adopted. The Grand Old Party used to wave the flags of accountability and transparency. Many other states have embraced this non-partisan practice. Facts and alternative facts both show polls always indicate a vast majority of voters want non-partisan districts, and the time is here for Wisconsin to step up and move forward. Instead of wasting the taxpayer’s money having Attorney General Schimel file appeal after appeal to try to keep this unwanted practice alive, why don’t they move to enact non-partisan redistricting and spend their time (and our money) fixing our roads and sufficiently funding our public schools for academic success? We know the Republican Caucus, the Americans for Prosperity, the NRA and their campaign contributors won’t like it, while they salivate, waiting for the next round of tax cuts for the rich and more corporate welfare. But, try to focus on the majority of us you represent, who want non-partisan redistricting for Wisconsin. There’s a lot more to leadership in rural Wisconsin than worrying about transgender bathrooms and concealed-carry gun-slinging on school campuses. Let’s see the Harsdorf and Jarchow media releases announce some real leadership for Wisconsin, bragging about how they introduced legislation for non-partisan redistricting reform. Maybe we’ll see this leadership initiative in next week’s papers? William Johnson Frederic

Am I looking at it right? To the Editor: Concerning the proposed Devils Lake Park improvements highlighted in the January 18 Sentinel, I have a few concerns. Kudos to Burnett County Parks Administrator Jake Nichols and his crew for the terrific job they do each spring, especially on that park and ramp. That being said, the headline of the article referenced the ramp, but the concept drawing looked like the ramp was an afterthought. Do I see it correctly that the parking spots closest to the ramp go away and boaters will now find themselves walking from the furthest end of the park to return to the dock? I don’t see lane markers closer to the dock area as they currently exist. The road naturally curves away from the ramp area, giving that area the widest parking for vehicles with trailers. It would seem the

Open letter to Congressman Duffy

To the Editor: Congressman Sean Duffy, where are you? With the many issues facing Wisconsin families, you are choosing to be silent. I have personally asked you for answers, whether in the newspaper or through calls to your office. Yet, not a single word from you. As the elected official representing my district, I am holding you accountable and demanding answers from you. My first question to you is why have you not spoken out against the brutality facing our Native American friends in North Dakota? Other persons in Congress have gone on record condemning the treatment of the water protectors. Why haven’t you? My next question is with President Trump being overtly anti-Muslim, why have you not defended the rights of people who choose to worship differently from you? The executive order that was signed disrupts many Wisconsinites and their families. If another President would have done anything like that, you would have been all over the news circuit complaining about how it didn’t get voted on by the House and Senate first. That, sir, is a double standard. You take no issue when it comes to taking away people’s rights, such as Planned Parenthood, immigration, pay increases, health insurance companies (who were among your key campaign donators) and so the list continues. As a constituent of your district, I think that instead of appearing on various television shows, your time would be more wisely spent heading over to the Statue of Liberty and reading what it says about welcoming people into this country.

proposed parking lanes will be somewhat shorter/ narrower. Will that cause trailers to be dangerously close to the road? Also, if one can imagine a boater dropping their boat at the ramp and moving to the parking lanes, are those lanes slanted directly opposing the natural parking of a vehicle with a trailer coming from the ramp area? Maybe I’m looking at the concept drawing incorrectly and need some guidance. Mick Miller Siren

AMBULANCE: Negotiating a new deal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

doesn’t take into consideration the changes the association is seeking for the next contract — namely, keeping response time amenable to all involved. To that end, North Ambulance officials came to the meeting with three options going forward. “We can refine these options as interest dictates,” Coyne remarked. Option one was basically an option of staffing changes with an increase of roughly $380,000. Option two was eliminating the A&H station and moving the Danbury station to the Hertel or Webb Lake areas to compensate. The third option was dropping service to two ambulances compared to the four rigs servicing the county now. “Option one would be a hard sell,” Supervisor Greg Main from the Town of Webb Lake opined. “But option two is worth a try.” Jerry Pardun, Supervisor of neighboring Town of Swiss, agreed. “Our goal is to get an acceptable response time for most people in the county,” Pardun remarked. “Option two helps us toward that goal.” How to handle the A&H station has been an issue for the association, especially since the last deal was struck. But, option two seemingly moves the group toward resolving the situation. “If we are going to drop one station, as option two outlines, who decides which station will be closed?” queried Town of Jackson Supervisor Roger L. Larson. “Fiscally, there is only so

much we can afford so I think we need to choose one and present that choice to our towns,” Larson said. The cost of the contract was an underlying theme to Thursday’s discussion and, according to Sybers, the 9-to12 minute response time stipulated in the current contract is what is driving the cost. “It’s why we have four rigs servicing our county,” he asserted. “We have a better response time than they have in some areas of the Twin Cities.” He said the response time is the best way to determine the level of service desired. “It’ll help decide how many trucks we have and where those trucks will be stationed,” Sybers continued. But some thought response time was not helpful. “The 9-to-12 minute response time is unrealistic,” noted Town of Anderson Chairman Jeremy Gronski. Town of Union Chairman Marv Merle agreed. He con-

ducted a straw vote of those in attendance to see who believed 15-to-20 minutes was an acceptable response time. Most raised their hands. “People won’t disagree with the cost of a 15-to-20 minute response time because they need the service,” he argued. “They won’t be happy about it but they won’t disagree.” Because a new response time seemed to be favored by most in attendance, it gave legitimacy to the idea of getting bids from any vendor who may wish to offer their services to Burnett County. To that end, association members tasked Sybers with preparing a four-year contract, outlining the county’s requirements, to be issued to suitable vendors. “This ambulance committee needs to meet every month if we are going to get this done in five months,” Sybers declared. That is an issue because a clause in the current contract indicates if either side wants out of the deal or a new deal, that fact must be made known six months prior to the end of the contract — which means a decision needs to be made by the end of June. If the contract is going out to bid, some questioned if four years was a long enough contract period. “North Ambulance has quite an investment here in Burnett County,” Gronski observed. “We might need to make the contract five or six years to make it attractive to other vendors.” The committee will reconvene Thursday, Feb. 23 to continue negotiating.

WASHBURN COUNTY—A 60-year-old Sarona man is dead after his vehicle broke through thin ice on Long Lake last week. The body of David E. Magnus was recovered in about 24 feet of water while his vehicle was located in about 40 feet of water. Preliminary investigation by the Washburn Sheriff’s Office revealed that witnesses heard a loud vehicle spinning around on the lake by Lincolnwood Resort at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24. Initially they thought the vehicle got off the lake. Shortly afterward they again heard it and saw headlights, but then the lights disappeared. Witnesses walked out onto the lake and saw vehicle tracks leading to a hole in the ice. Deputies were summoned, along with Birchwood Fire Department. Deputies and firemen found floating debris and mail addressed to David Magnus. Deputies checked Magnus’ residence and found no one there, nor his red Chevrolet Sport Utility Truck. This vehicle was also described by others earlier in the evening as “ramming around the lake” and driving erratically. From the time elapsed between the 911 call and officers’ arrival on scene, it was determined that a vehicle had indeed broken through the ice. It became a recovery rather than rescue. Sheriff Terry Dryden advised deputies to mark the position of the ice hole, and recovery operations would start in the morning. The sheriff also advised deputies on scene that it was too dangerous to mount a recovery/rescue operation on the ice at night, and he did not want divers under ice at night. Although there was some thick ice around the general area, a large ice ridge was found several hundred yards long with very thin ice. Consensus is that Magnus drove onto the thin ice just before the ice ridge and went under.

Why Lawrence? “The library at the Lawrence Middle School is like ‘The’ place to go to learn how to open a library,” Washington noted. “They have a lot of volumes and a whole list of what is available — what better place to do research?” So Washington ordered books — mostly for youth, but there are books for all levels. “We have books for children and teens by Native authors and are

Experimenting with ‘personalized learning’ BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—The Webster School Board got a firsthand look at how 4th grade teachers Terry Day and Deb Pawlak are delivering personalized learning in their classrooms. In fact, it’s why the board met for January’s meeting at the Webster Elementary IMC instead of at the 5-12 Building — and the board reconvened to Day’s classroom for this portion of the meeting. “Terry and Deb are co-teaching their two sections of 4th grade,” Superintendent Jim Erickson stated. Even though the onus is on the student to achieve, the role of the teacher is still quite important. “In personalized learning, some kids still do better than others,” Erickson pointed out. “The teachers are there to help guide the ones who ‘don’t get it’ as quickly as their peers might.” Just beginning second semester, Erickson said the teachers can use the success of their first semester to solve any problems which crop up. In other business: • The second Friday count of January is in and although it may not have the impact of the 3rd Friday count in September, it’s a good snapshot for the school to have. “Our number is up to 687 — that’s up five from September,” Erickson remarked. “We always like to see a couple more than a couple less.” • Erickson reminded members the open enrollment window for the 2017-18 school opens Feb. 6 and continues until April 28. In addition, he made note of the availability for special education and general education open enrollees for the coming year. “In special education, we teach by building which limits the spaces we can offer,” Erickson explained. “In fact, there are only two spots for special education speech and language for open enrollees.” Contrast that with general education. “We have space available in virtually every grade — from 34 spaces in eighth grade to two spaces in first grade,” he continued. • During closed session, the three principals stayed and met with the board regarding mid-year teacher evaluations. “A lot of our teachers are first-year teachers,” Erickson noted. “This is something we like to stay on top of.” No action was taken on the subject. • The board got its first look at a proposed 2017-18 calendar, which calls for the first day of school falling on Friday, Sept. 1, and Tuesday, June 5, 2018 as the last day of school, with graduation set for Saturday, May 19, 2018; no school during the week of Thanksgiving and a week and a day for Christmas break. The board will vote on a final calendar at its February meeting. • The board approved an overnight stay in Green Bay for all or part of the girls basketball team to watch the 2017 state tournament. The board also approved an overnight for the baseball team to travel to Mauston to participate in an early season tournament.

Women’s march Dozens of women and men from around Polk and Burnett counties took place in marches around the country – from St. Paul and Madison to Grand Marais and Washington DC. The Women’s March that spanned the globe on January 21, 2017 wasn’t about protesting Donald Trump, it was about demonstrating a commitment to human rights. The organizers of the March said in their vision for the event, “We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families — recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country.”

Thousands turned out in St. Paul and Washington DC for last month’s rally.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING

Walker appoints Democratic nominee to ethics commission MADISON (AP)—Gov. Scott Walker has appointed a reserve judge to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission. Timothy Van Akkeren will replace retired Judge Robert Kinney, who resigned from the Ethics Commission in December less than six months into his term. Kinney complained the partisan commission was ineffective, secretive and set up to fail. The commission consists of three members nominated by Democrats and three members nominated by Republicans. Democrats select-

The ethics commission also includes Judge Mac Davis, Katie McCallum, Peg Lautenschlager, Pat Strachota and David Halbrooks. Bill limiting union inﬂuence expected to move quickly MADISON (AP)—A Republican-backed bill that would limit the influence of unions bidding for public projects is poised to move quickly through the Legislature. Republican Sen. Leah Vukmir is sponsoring the measure on project

labor agreements in the Senate. Her spokeswoman, Jessica Ward, said Thursday that no amendments are expected and it could come up for a vote in committee early next week. The full Senate could vote on it as early as Feb. 8. Unions say the proposal removes local control over bid requests for public projects. But, the bill’s sponsors say non-union companies shouldn’t be excluded from bidding on some projects. The measure must pass both the Senate and Assembly and be signed by Gov. Scott Walker before becoming law.

Wisconsin road crisis worsens MADISON— The Legislative Audit Bureau released the results of its State Highway Program audit on Thursday, finding that the Department of Transportation had underestimated the cost of several dozen completed and ongoing state highway projects by almost $4 billion. In addition, the audit from the DOT reveals that Wisconsin roads, ranked fourth worst in the nation, are deteriorating at a rapid pace due to budget cuts and project delays. According to the report, “The proportion of state highways rated in good condition decreased steadily from 53.5 percent in 2010 to 41.0 percent in 2015.” “It’s undeniable that one of our state’s core responsibilities is maintaining safe roads that ensure families can get where they’re going and products can be transported efficiently,” said Senate Democratic Leader Jennifer Shilling (D-La Crosse). “Instead of solutions, Gov. Walker and Legislative Republicans have created a crisis that is jeopardizing thousands of jobs and putting the safety of Wisconsin drivers at risk.” She’s not alone when it comes to blaming the Republican side of the aisle. “The Republican leadership’s neglect of our roads is as inexcusable as it is unacceptable. Our crumbling infrastructure is costing taxpayers and hurting our economy. “This is yet another hurdle for our struggling middle class and our slow job creation,” Assembly Democratic Leader Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) said in a statement on

the audit. “The GOP has let the taxpayers of Wisconsin down. We are in a crisis state, and we need to take immediate action.” The Republican party, however, is not standing mute on the issue. “The audit raises some major concerns. The fact that the condition of our roads are some of the worst in the Midwest is troubling,” admitted Alberta Darling (R-River Hills), co-chair of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

Broken Heart Syndrome — Is it real? When you think of a broken heart, you probably don’t think of it causing real health problems. But the emotional pain of heartache can actually lead to a serious illness called Broken Heart Syndrome. Broken Heart Syndrome is a real condition where patients can experience chest pain, shock and profound illness. Similar to a heart attack, the heart muscle is disabled during Broken Heart Syndrome. But, unlike a heart attack, there is no blocked artery in the heart. Broken Heart Syndrome feels, and acts, like a heart attack in all other ways. Since 2001, my team and I have studied Broken Heart Syndrome and have seen 400 patients who have experienced it. Of the patients we see, 90 percent of them are women. There really is no one situation that causes Broken Heart Syndrome. Different situations pose different stress levels for people. I’ve treated patients whose symptoms were brought on after losing a loved one, losing a home in a tornado, getting lost while driving and others who were dealing with the stress of public speaking. While it can be fatal, the good news is most people typically recover in a matter of one to two weeks and they’re at low risk of it happening again. Submitted by: Scott Sharkey, cardiologist with Minneapolis Heart Institute. We here at Healthy Burnett made a resolution of our own and we made it for YOU! We resolve to communicate with the people in our community. As a part of that effort we’ll be bringing you a new column each week so look for us here each week for the “Healthy Minute” or athealthyburnett.org.

The families of Steven Erickson and Pamela Scapanski wish to thank everyone for your kind cards, yowers, expressions of sympathy and kindness in this time of loss. May God bless all of you

Photo contest showcases area beauty

AJ BREMER

SIREN—The Siren Chamber of Commerce recently sponsored the #whyilovesiren photo contest, accepting contest entries on their Facebook page from November 1 through December 31, 2016. More than 90 photographs were submitted. A committee of Chamber members worked to select 36 finalists, which were then sent to all Siren Chamber members for a final vote. Twelve winners were selected, with each winner receiving $25 in Siren Chamber Bucks to be used the same as cash at any Siren Chamber business. The twelve winning photographs will also be featured on Siren’s social media pages throughout 2017. AJ Bremer was the overall winner with his picture “Winter on the River.” Other winners include Susie Imme, Jeremiah Stavne, Kacey Lynn Fischer, Linda Anton, Julie Ann Schlosser Roy, Gary Konietzko,

New director at Forts Folle Avoine DANBURY— Rendezvous, School Tours, Pancake Breakfasts, Fur Trading Posts, Objiwe Village, Logging Museum, Historical Library, Gift Shop, Christmas at the Forts — there’s a lot of activity that takes place at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. As Steve Wierschem, director at The Forts for the past 10 years, retired at the end of 2016, the Board of the Burnett County Historical Society knew it had a big task trying to find someone who would have the energy and experience to keep the current activities running smoothly while at the same time bringing new ideas to expand and enhance the offerings at FAHP. The board is pleased to announce that Kimberly Wheeler has been hired as the new director of The Forts. Kim grew up in Roseville, Minn., but has been to The Forts many times over the years as a child and teenager while spending time at her family’s cabin on the Yellow River, and as an adult after she moved to Burnett County a dozen years ago. She has a strong interest in the outdoors, living off the land, camping, hiking and outdoor sports. While working at Crex Meadows in Grantsburg, Kim wrote a 90-page wildflower guide to the common flowers found in the area. A reception to welcome Kim will be held in a few months, after the Burnett County snowbirds have returned. A retirement party for Wierschem is planned during our Indoor Trade Fair on Sunday, Feb. 19, from 2-4 p.m. Celebrate Children’s Dental Health Month with a new electric toothbrush for your child! An electric toothbrush keeps your teeth, gums and tongue cleaner than a manual toothbrush. They are also a great way to fight gingivitis and gum disease. These electric toothbrushes are only $6.00 while supplies last!

David Simpson, Amy Thiex, Robyn Eller, Deb Jubb Srbich and Pat Carlin Dotseth. The contest received a great deal of positive feedback, with photographers excitedly telling and showing why they love Siren. Linda Anton said, “Thank you for an opportunity to express why I love Siren, my hometown since my birth at the Siren Hospital on Main Street.” Many of the contest entries included comments about the beautiful sunsets and abundant wildlife found in area lakes. Another winner, Amy Thiex said, “Landscape and relaxation are just a few things Siren has to offer.” Lynn Gburek submitted photos of her grandchildren enjoying Big Sand Lake with the caption, “kids can learn the joy of the little things in life.” The contest was perhaps summed up best by Jeremiah Stavne of Siren when he said, “with views like this almost every night during the summer, how could you not love Siren?” The #whyilovesiren photo contest was created to generate interest in the Siren area and increase traffic on Siren’s social media pages during what can be a slower time for tourism in the area. Photographs were submitted from many areas, with winners hailing from both Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Siren Chamber of Commerce appreciates all who participated in the contest, with special thanks to Siren Social Media Director Julie Hall, “for an outstanding job, from first proposing the concept to researching it and running it from start to finish! We have built our photo library and we have been able to already incorporate so many of these photos into our new Siren brochure, which is now in printing. Plus, it generated so much excitement for Siren on our social media platforms,” said Siren Chamber Executive Director Chris Moeller.

What does this mean for you? • Only one appointment needed for crowns. • Impressions are taken digitally, not with tray materials, which cause gagging. • No more sensitive temporaries.

Tips Find A Quality CPA

A certified public accountant (CPA) can be your best friend when it comes to filing your taxes. Given the numerous changes to tax guidelines and provisions that are announced every year, it’s in your best interest to put your accounting needs into the hands of a certified professional. What is a CPA? Certified public accountants undergo various intensive, multi-step trainings to ensure their total understanding of the various portions of the tax code and how they impact your return. They also are required to partake in ongoing professional development engagements to make sure they remain current on the aforementioned annual IRS updates. Finding a credible CPA who has the bandwidth to take on your project isn’t difficult. Start by asking your friends and family members who they use.

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Adele is a three-year-old American Bulldog mix. Although I’ve seen her for a while now, I just recently had the opportunity to spend some quality time with her in her kennel and fell in love immediately. I could hear Adele’s impatient barks as I was making my way to see her. I guess she thought that her place should have been my first stop, but I like to do things in order and was making my rounds with all the dogs. When I was finally at Adele’s gate, her entire rear section wiggled with excitement anticipating my visit. Before I could even get seated on the floor of her kennel, she Adele was on her back ready for some belly rubs. I’d like to say Adele is a solid, sturdy girl, but if the truth be told, she could stand to lose some weight. If I quit scratching her tummy, she would immediately get up and stand next to me. Once I made any sort of movement toward her, it was back on the ground with stomach exposed. Adele seemed to know at least a couple commands like sit and shake. And when I got up to leave her, she obediently “stayed” while I stepped out. I can’t seem to find anything negative to say about Adele except that she is selective about which dogs she’ll accept as friends, absolutely NO cats, and we would prefer a home with children over 10. Betty is a five-year-old Boxer mix who was recently returned by her teary-eyed new adoptive family. Like Adele, this little lady is also a hit-or-miss with other dogs, a definite NO with cats, and no small children. What we did not know was that horses should have been on the “no” list too. In other-words, maybe Betty should be an only child. After my time with her, she promises to be all the pet you need because her love is overwhelming and unconditional. I’ve featured Betty before and feel the same way about her now as I did then. She’s simply the best! As soon as I’m on her level, face to face, she is hugging me–literally! Sitting on the floor of the kennel with her, she is in my lap with her head on my shoulder and one paw on the other shoulder. Seriously, it is the cutest, most endearing thing to witness. And, the crazy thing is, I was told when she first arrived at the shelter she was not at all interested in us. That has changed. I think whoever adopts Betty will just adore her and she will be your “baby” for life. It may be a little harder to find her a home that has no other pets, but I’m confident that the right one is out there and I guarantee you will be so happy you opened your heart and home to your Betty. If you are interested in adopting Adele, Betty, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (716) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

Thomas Bowers Thomas Louis Bowers (Tom), 73, of Grantsburg, passed away on Thursday, January 26, 2017. Visitation will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 4, followed by a Celebration of Life service at 111 a.m. at Swedberg-Taylor F Funeral Home of Grantsb burg. A reception will folllow at Hummer’s Rendezv vous Event Center. Tom was born on Octob ber 14, 1943 to Delmar and M Marjorie (Gydesen) Bowers iin Stockton, Calif. He gradu uated from North St. Paul H High School and received a an Associate of Arts degree ffrom Lakewood Community College. Tom was married to Terry Gadbois. They had three children. In December of 1994, he married Kathy Melin. Tom was an avid outdoorsman and loved history. From that grew his love and interest in black powder rendezvous. He and Kathy lived many nights under canvas at events in the high plains of the western United States. Tom met some of his closest friends on the rendezvous circuit. After his friend “Red” lost his life to cancer, Tom created Red’s Challenge, a fund to help other rendezvous friends in times of crisis. At the annual Red Maple Rendezvous on the Bowers’ property, Tom (affectionately known as Grumpy) invited eighth graders from Grantsburg to shoot black powder guns, throw tomahawks and learn other skills of life from the 1800s. He loved to teach. Tom taught fly fishing at community education classes and helped organize a class in making a black powder gun. He shared his interests in fly fishing, archery and black powder guns with anyone who would listen. Tom took pride and ownership in the community. He and his friend, Larry Larrabee, spent a week each summer for 30 years preparing and shooting fireworks at the annual Grantsburg Watercross event. Tom and Kathy were foster parents to more than 20 special individuals who found a home with them, whether for a weekend, a month or years. Tom was an avid reader, a gift he received from his mother. They shared and exchanged books for a lifetime. He also had a passion for hosting and cooking for both family and friends. In the last three years, he provided more than 1,400 reports as a WCCO Weather Watcher. Later in life, he followed a dream by opening 45 Degrees North, a fly-fishing business. Those hours on the river introducing so many people – new and experienced – to the outdoors, meant a great deal to him. He loved to have fun, whether it was organizing a golf tournament, camping with friends or hosting events at Grumpy’s Tavern. He enjoyed life and will be greatly missed. He is survived by his beloved wife, Kathy; children: Tim (Julie), Trisha Crandall (Casey) and Travis (Sarah); five grandchildren: Christian, Coleson, Charlotte, Ella and Olivia; and sister, Linda Smith (J. Patrick). He is also survived by sisters-in-law Trudy Cowman (Charles), Kristi Larson (Bruce) and Lauri Nelson (Jim); brothers-in law Bob Melin (Teresa), Jim Melin (Patty), Rick Melin and Don Melin; many nieces and nephews and their children; and special foster daughter, Misty Heier. Tom was preceded in death by his father, Delmar and mother, Marjorie. Memorials to the American Cancer Society are greatly appreciated. Online condolences may be expressed at www.swedberg-taylor.com.

Dragons ﬁnding it hard to win

Determined Tigers take down Pirates BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—“Total team effort,” Webster coach Rob Scherrer said after his Tiger squad executed an offensive plan that ended with a drive to the hoop for the go-ahead points with just seconds left in the game. “Perseverance was the theme afterwards to our players, as multiple times we found ourselves down by double digits but found a way to get back into the game. I couldn’t be more excited for these guys, especially the ones who have been through so much adversity in past years.” Grantsburg took a 54-53 lead with under two minutes left in the game. The Tigers took over, passing and dribbling the ball around to eat up the clock until, with just eight seconds left, Jack Washburn cut through the Pirate defense and laid up a perfect shot to go up 55-54. The Pirates got the ball up the court, but were forced to take an awkward shot that did not go in, giving the Tigers the win. The win improves Webster’s conference record to 2-6, and puts the Pirates at 4-3 and a fourth place slot in the West Lakeland standings. The first time these two teams met, back on December 6, the Pirates handed the Tigers a 63-31 whooping, but a determined and improved Webster squad was not going to allow that to happen again. The Tigers started this game hot and jumped out to an early lead, forcing the Pirates to work from behind to get back into the game. Grantsburg tied the game at 27-27 with 3:30 left in the first half, and took their first lead of the game, 3331, with just over a minute left in the half. At the break, the Pirates held a 35-31 edge over the Tigers.

SIREN—The Siren Dragons are still on the learning curve, struggling to find a win as they dropped last Friday night’s game to Unity 63-34 and Monday night’s game to the Luck Cardinals 64-55. “We played hard,” said Coach Jon Ruud. “We still struggle to make adjustments, the other team’s adjustments. We played against a really good team tonight. We battled them. I see a lot of positives.” The game was tied at the half at 27 apiece. Xander Pinero had three three-point shots along with two field goals in the first half for the Dragon cause. Kaanan Christianson also tallied two threepoint shots and Colton denHoed had one. The Dragon defense kept the Cardinals at bay for most of the half, with Luck coming back from a seven point deficit to tie the Dragons at halftime, 27-27. Second half action saw the teams basically trading baskets, some two-point shots and some threepoint shots with Luck gradually increasing the lead. Pinero and denHoed both shot a three-point shot in the second half, but the rest of the points did not match up to the Cardinals who had four threepoint shots. For the game, Xander Pinero had 22 for the Dragons. Colton denHoed put in 15. Kaanan Christianson tallied eight with Steven Pruitt adding five. Sequoia Bellanger had a field goal. Silas Vasatka, Tanner Lee and Riley Churchill each had a point. “I’m encouraged by what I saw tonight,” continued the coach. “We need to keep on getting better.” “We’re showing more negative emotion than we should. If we could play with less negative emotion, we will do better. If we continue with negative emotion, then we will still be the same team and when playoffs come, we’ll lose right away.”

Webster’s Trevor Gustafson ﬁghts to put up a shot between Grantsburg’s Austin Olson (23) and John Chenal.

Grantsburg built on that lead in the second half, going up by double digits before the Tigers clawed their way back into the game, taking back the lead, 47-46, with 6:30 left in the game. From there, it was a back and forth battle until the dramatic final couple of minutes. “Not enough energy to start or finish the game,” Pirates Coach Nick Hallberg said after the loss. “We need to get back on track and start playing like the team we are capable of being. Our focus needs to be on finishing plays and playing fundamentally sound from here on out, or none of the upcoming games will be any different.” Washburn led the Tiger attack with 17 points, 13 of those coming

in the first half. Trevor Gustafson was next on the Tigers’ scoring list with 13, followed closely by Caleb Pardun with 12. Pardun had 10 of those points in the second half, including two timely three-point shots. Brad Sigfrids had seven points, Coleton Peterson five and Joey Formanek had one for two tries at the foul line. For the Pirates, it was John Chenal with a game high 21 points. Tyrell Brande was the only other Pirate to score in the double digits with 12. Leo Chenal battled down low for nine points on the night. Joseph Ohnstad had five, Luke Anderson had four, and Austin Olson rounded out the scoring with three points.

SIREN—“They made more plays down the stretch than we did,” said Siren Girls Coach Ryan Karsten after the 41-31 set back the Luck Cardinals gave to the Dragons. “We turned the ball over too much,” he continued. “Their guards played well.” It was a slow, quiet game in the first half with Luck scoring the last bucket before the horn to take a 12-11 lead into halftime. Siren went ahead by two on a number of occasions, but Luck came right back to knot the score and then went ahead just before the half on a field goal. Abby Kosloski led the way for the Dragons with five points. Kyleigh Lightfeather, Cassie Maslow and Sarah Shaffer each had a bucket for the Siren squad. Olivia Nielsen and Paige Runnels tallied six and four points respectively for the Cardinals, with Tiffany Brown getting the other field goal.

Pressure stops Lady Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—“We just couldn’t handle the pressure,” stated Webster Coach Mat Wood following the 45-40 setback to the Luck Cardinals on Friday night. “And the, there were turnovers, turnovers and turnovers. They (Luck) did put on the press but we were able to break it. It caused our passes to be just a little bit late and our rebounds just short.” The Cardinals led by a 3-2 margin just five minutes into the game. The game went back and forth and at the 3:27 mark, the Tigers had knotted the score at 15. Luck scored twice more and the Tigers once, and the halftime score was Luck, 19, and the Tigers, 17. A good start of the second half saw the Tigers score seven in a row. Julia Gavin and Tingo Mosher each had a field goal and Allison Mulroy hit one from downtown. Luck countered with three before the Tigers took a time out to strategize.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates boys hosted the Amery Warriors on Friday night in a make-up game from early January, and found themselves on the short end of a close, hard-fought game, falling 5550. “We’re not healthy. We haven’t been full strength for some time now, with kids out or recovering from being sick,” Pirates Coach Nick Hallberg said. “Our number one goal is to get back to full strength and then work on building some confidence.” The Pirates took good shots, but just couldn’t get the ball to fall through the net and trailed by a slim margin at the half, 22-20.

Pirates topple Hilltoppers BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Grantsburg girls basketball team added to their win column as they moved past the Glenwood City Hilltoppers, 54-42 in a non-conference match-up on Thursday night. Cassidy Lee had a game-high 28 points for her Pirates squad. She spent a majority of her night at the free throw line, making nine of 17 attempts. She connected on eight two-point buckets and one from behind the arc. Tymber King tallied nine and Rhiana Pochman added seven. Also making a mark in the scorebook were Olivia Ohnstad scoring four and Jordyn McKenzie hitting a three-point bucket. Olivia Brock scored two and Katie Curtin ended the scoring with one point. Grantsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive pressure created many turnovers and they were able to take advantage, scoring easy layups and getting to the foul line. The Pirates outscored the Hilltoppers 25-19 in the first half and 29-23 in the second to secure the win. Grantsburg has three conference games next on the lineup. They host Frederic on Tuesday and the Luck Cardinals on Friday night before heading to Siren next Tuesday.

Spooner nips Lady Tigers

Wrestlers top short-handed TL/C LUCKâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren wrestling squad took on a very short-handed Turtle Lake/Clayton team on Thursday night and won by a 42-15 margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the last dual of the year before the Conference Tourney and tournament time,â&#x20AC;? said LFGS Coach Chris Bartlett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a couple rematches. At 120 (Hunter Sellent), it is always a good match. It was tight to the end until Hunter was able to catch him and put him on his back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brad (Lucas) was looking for a rematch, but his opponent did not wrestle. Brock (Phernetton) seemed flat and came up short. It seems either he is on or he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The match of the night was at Heavyweight. Dominic wrestled him at St. Croix Falls and Caroon was up by one with 15 seconds left. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

realize that and tried to force a move and was pinned. This night, it was tied after the first, 2-2, and then after the second he held an 8-4 lead with a couple rolls.

ReďŹ&#x201A;ections of life and death This past Tuesday my father-in-law went home to be with the Lord. As a minister, I do many funerals and am around death quite often. It always makes me stop and reflect. The Apostle Paul tells us that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to grieve as those who have no hope. As Christians, our hope is in Jesus, Heaven, and the resurrection. Paul says to be absent from the body can mean that we can be present with the Lord. The family knew that my father-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time was short. We spent his last eight days with him around the clock. There were many tears but also considerable amount of time Pastor Andy Bollant was spent sharing love, joy, and great memoSiren Assembly of God Church ries. He still had his sense of humor until the end. He wanted my wife to sing to him over and over.

At one point he kept saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see Jesus, I see Jesus.â&#x20AC;? He was told it was okay to go to Him. Hebrews 9:27 says,â&#x20AC;? it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment.â&#x20AC;? Second Corinthians tells us that we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. I want that day to go well for everyone. 1 John tells us that we can know where we are going before we die. He who has the Son (Jesus) has eternal life. He who does not have the son (Jesus) does not have eternal life. Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus as both your Lord and Savior? I pray that you do. John 17:3 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is eternal life to know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent.â&#x20AC;? We can be thankful that even in our loss much is left.

He was an absolutely great father-in-law. I loved him and told him that many times. I would always tell him I loved his daughter and was thankful for her and for him letting me marry her. We can be also thankful that even in loss God is Left. We talk about death, but God talks about resurrection. We see death as a termination. God sees death as the way to eternal life. I look forward to seeing my father-in-law for all eternity when we are someday joined in Heaven with Jesus. The Apostle John says,â&#x20AC;? to as many as received Him He gave the right to become His children and a part of the family of God.â&#x20AC;? Please make sure that you and all of your family know Jesus. Then, in the midst of our pain and grieving, we can still have hope.
