Grantsburg board to ﬁne ‘deadbeat landlords’ BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG — Saying they were tired of being ignored, the Grantsburg Village Board Monday agreed to take action against landlords and building owners who continually violate building safety and fire codes. If they ignore the inspector’s repair orders, fines will grow from $150 to $500 or more. If the structural conditions don’t improve, the board said it will restrict or end the landlords’ ability to rent. Now in his third year of the job, Grantsburg Fire Chief and Building Inspector Cory Barnett says the violations he wrote up when he started haven’t been fixed, and have only gotten worse. “My biggest concern is where people live and where people frequent, such as stores and other businesses,” Barnett said. In his role as fire chief, he said, “All of the Phil Brenizer properties are substandard. I am surprised we haven’t pulled bodies out of there yet. If any of these places catch fire, they will burn

to the ground. I won’t send my guys (firemen) into these buildings after I know everybody is out. No way. They are too dangerous. I have written up these landlords time after time after time. Now I need backing of law enforcement.” Barnett named Thing-a-Majigs store in downtown Grantsburg as another site of multiple building code violations. Aisles are too narrow, he said, causing people to trip and fall. The rear emergency exit door broke, so it was permanently sealed with bolts into the frame, leaving the front door as the only exit. “People are living in the store. It has no CO detectors, no smoke detectors, no exit lights or egress lights. If something happens in there, no one is going to be able to get out,” Barnett warned. Police Chief Jeff Schinzing said he and Barnett agree that one of the main concerns is the safety of people living in second floor apartments. Barnett maintains seven years of building inspection records. If a fi re SEE FINES, PAGE 2

Post offices move to earlier outgoing mail on April 14 BY STEVE BRIGGS AND JULIE HUSTVET SENTINEL AND SPOONER ADVOCATE RESPECTIVELY

SPOONER — With the announced closing of the U.S. Postal Service’s Spooner Hub, all area post offices will move to an earlier final daily collection time (dispatch) for outgoing mail, starting April 14. Current and new dispatch times in each community are listed in the table on page 8. All times are p.m. Once a regional processing center, the

Spooner Hub lost that duty several years ago when all 548 zip code mail sorting transferred to Eau Claire. “Spooner Hub became a dock transfer location where the mail for the 548 zip codes is transported to Spooner, off-loaded, then re-loaded for transportation to individual post offices,” said Peter Nowacki, a U.S. Post Office spokesperson in Minneapolis. “The change on April 14 will eliminate SEE POST OFFICE, PAGE 8

FINES: Grantsburg to ﬁne ‘deadbeat landlords’

Wrong-way drivers cause 3 accidents, 2 fatalities on Minnesota interstates

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

I-35 AND I-90 — Head-on crashes in three accidents in the past week involving drivers headed the wrong way on Minnesota interstates have claimed two lives. FATAL CRASH SATURDAY ON I-35 RUSH CITY — A fatal crash at 3:21 Saturday afternoon, March 11 near mile marker 155 on Interstate 35 in Chisago County resulted in a vehicle fire, southbound lanes freeway closure and death of one driver. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, a Chevrolet Equinox driving northbound in the southbound lanes on Interstate 35 crashed head-on into a southbound Ford Fusion, which burst into flames on impact. The Ford Fusion’s male driver died at the scene. The Equinox driver, 47-year-old Lora Walker of Stacy, was transported to Regions Hospital where she was listed Sunday in critical condition. No information has been released on whether drugs or alcohol played a part in the crash, confirmed Lt. Tiffiani Nielson of the Minnesota State Patrol. The crash at mile marker 155 prompted the State Patrol to close the southbound lanes between Rush City and Harris until almost 9 p.m. Many motorists were stopped in the traffic line for an hour before traffic was rerouted onto other roads. Fire crews worked to put out the fire and clear the wreck. Northbound passerbys took photos and videos of the accident site as they drove by on I-35. Details of the crash are still under investigation, including how fast the vehicles were going at the time of impact and if any charges will follow.

WRONG-WAY DRIVER IN CARLTON COUNTY CARLTON COUNTY, Minn.—Early Saturday morning, March 11 another driver was arrested farther north on I-35 in Carlton County after police saw him driving the wrong way. A 29-year-old man from Superior was arrested for third degree DWI, reckless driving, failure to stop for an emergency vehicle and wrong way driving, according to the Carlton County Sheriff’s Office. That driver is being held at the Carlton County jail. ALCOHOL INVOLVED IN I-90 WRONG-WAY FATAL CRASH FAIRMONT, Minn. — Investigators believe an impaired motorist driving the wrong way on a southern Minnesota interstate triggered a Tuesday, March 7 crash that claimed the life of a 21-year-old woman. The Minnesota State Patrol website says a 48-yearold South Dakota man was driving west in the eastbound lanes of I-90 west of Fairmont just before 8 p.m. Tuesday when he struck a Ford Escape traveling eastbound with two people inside. The passenger, 21-year-old Hannah Elizabeth Stoesz of Mountain Lake, Minn., was declared dead at the scene. Investigators say she was not wearing a seatbelt. The Ford’s 19-year-old male driver was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester. The wrong-way driver suffered non-life threatening injuries in the crash. The State Patrol website says he tested positive for alcohol at the time of the crash. At this point criminal charges have not been filed. Associated Press contributed to these reports.

occurs, he said, insurance companies will review those records and pay or reject insurance claims based on whether the property met building codes. “I am not going after minor violations,” he told the board. “It’s the ones that haven’t been fixed in seven years, like the Brenizer properties. Nothing gets done.” Saying it was his job to keep all buildings and occupants safe, Barnett said, “I don’t care who I anger. I am not out to make friends.” He added, “Although we have mentioned some places by name, we are not going after just one or two places. I won’t do that. I will treat everybody the same.” Village President Glenn Rolloff said the village has five or six “problematic landlords” who consistently ignore letters and repair orders. The board was unsure of all the courses of action it could take, but settled on fines and rescinding landlord licenses as two options to start. Chief Schinzing said he will meet with Village Attorney Todd Glenn Rolloff Grantsburg Village President Anderson to review other options. “After that, we’re going to do everything we can to pull their ability to rent,” Rolloff added. “This is good for everybody. These bad buildings are dragging down our property values and the safety of our people. These buildings attract riffraff. They’re not the kind of people we want. If the owner has to spend some money and raise the rent, amen.”

Happy to be back ‘up north’

see pines and stars. Six years ago, I set off for northern Wisconsin to study English and play ice hockey at Northland College in Ashland. Before classes began and the holler of a new coach’s voice rang in my ears, I was placed in the Chequamegon National Forest for five days for what Northland calls Outdoor Orientation. I had little camping experience and my perspective was that of a young, concrete-walking kid; luckily, I had seven other people near me at all times during the trip. With an ability to adapt rather promptly, I wasn’t too shaken by this quest into the Northwoods. However, what happened on one night soon into the trip, I was not Sentinel prepared for in the least. I sat (to this day I have no idea the exact Editor location) on damp earth with mosSean Devlin quito-conquered ankles cooling in the night breeze. My sneakers were muddied and torn because, being the newbie I was, I wasn’t aware that brand new hiking boots were a bad idea – I’ll leave it at that. As a group, we exchanged stories of hometowns and thoughts on prospective studies until our troop leader, Spice, urged us to look up. My eyes followed the lengths of the pine trees to the sky. That was the moment I realized beauty had a meaning. There were specks of crystals beyond other specks of crystal and blacks seemed purple and purple melted into silver. It was impalpable but true. I spent the following four years in the Northwoods studying fiction, poetry and journalism, and, of course, making new friends. At times, I found myself in Duluth reporting on events or even in Minneapolis attending writing conferences. I was delighted to discover, and a bit embarrassed that I had never thought of this before, that by reporting and immersing myself in journalism I could learn about so many different topics – environment, sports, government, the struggles and unique paths individuals take towards success, like a man from New Jersey who wanted to be a weatherman and now delights his viewers with his weather report from the WDIO station in Duluth. The Northwoods is a place where I’ve made many personal discoveries. I come from Philadelphia. I spent quite a few years in Cincinnati before coming to the Northwoods. I studied in Limerick, Ireland to gain an MA in Creative Writing. After living in Madison for some time, now I’ve come back to the north of Wisconsin, the place where I fell in love with the sky and the pines that seem to hold it up. My hopes are to contribute and assist the Sentinel grow and offer its readers the information they need about where they live. Above is just a small insight into me, and I look forward to serving you.

OK Google, stop listening BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

“Every aspect of human technology has a dark side, including the bow and arrow.” — Margaret Atwood Revelations last week about how the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been utilizing internet equipped “smart” televisions, smartphones and other devices to spy on people was alarmFrom the Publisher’s ing to me on several levels. Desk According to news reports, voice Tom Stangl activated technoli many devices d ogy in is constantly listening for our commands to activate whatever gadget we want to do amazing things that we used to have to get up and do ourselves. This “listening” by televisions, telephones, appliances and even toys is, in my opinion, a classic result of the law of unintended consequences. We want to know how far it is to Topeka, but instead of getting out a map (remember maps?), or even bothering to type “How far is it to Topeka?” in a Google search, we can simply ask a device the question. This is really cool, but as we should have realized in the begin-

ning, with every advance there is a price to be paid. The more sophisticated technology becomes, the easier it becomes for abuse and misuse to occur. So, if you are given the job to protect the nation from “bad hombres” and you know that many homes have devices that can be used like the old “bugs” used in the Cold War days, wouldn’t you simply begin collecting as much data as possible and use more technology to listen for certain keywords? Sure you would. Never mind the whole “go convince a judge you need a warrant to listen” hassle, just collect everything and sort it all out later. This is national security we are talking about, after all. The same is true of personal identification. With the requirements of the Federal Real ID law, no more smiling on your driver’s license photo. A smile might throw off facial recognition software. Why run photos of only the bad guys through the program when you can have access to everyone? By making everyone a suspect, we all are safer, right? Yeah, not so much. I heard a news report where security experts advise “activists” (code for criminals — you know — bad hombres or people who simply want privacy) to begin speaking in code.

Seriously, some people believe they should be saying things like “the eagle has landed” to communicate with others as a way to protect themselves. I don’t think that will end well for anyone involved. Either one of the people will forget that “the eagle has landed” actually means “we need milk” and come home with bread, or the National Security Agency (NSA) will be paying a visit to see what all this talk of “eagles” is REALLY about. Personal privacy died on Sept. 11, 2001. It was on a downhill spiral in the years leading up to the attacks, but the paranoia that resulted in the days and years after that fateful fall day finished it off. When will we realize that we are all an open book to the folks that we hope are protecting us? And, who is releasing this information, and why now? I wish the administration well in its efforts to stop the leaks and hope that those who want the simple right of privacy can someday once again be left alone without appearing like a criminal. A guy can hope. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

Harsdorf tours Northwest Passage program

Humans are just funny that way

FREDERIC—State Senator Sheila Harsdorf paid a visit to Northwest Passage last week for a tour given by current Prairieview client Jade, age 16. Jade walked her through the building explaining what a day in the life of a kid at Northwest Passage looks like, while Program Director, Ellen Race, and Executive Director Mark Elliott tagged along. Jade explained what had happened in her life to bring her to Northwest Sheila Passage and then described the many Harsdorf different therapies and activities that happen within the walls of her proDistrict 10 gram and the assessment program. Senator She enjoyed her time with the senator. “While meeting with State Senator Harsdorf, I found I could talk with her easily,” Jade said of their interactions. “She seemed to show a lot of compassion for my future and what Northwest Passage is doing for teens with mental health disorders. Senator Harsdorf also has a way of making others feel important and comfortable. I felt I could tell her somewhat personal things about my life because she listens to people and enjoys what they have to say. I appreciated having the chance to meet her. She showed interest in my future to pursue my dreams. I informed her of the many opportunities Northwest Passage has to offer and how it has helped shape my character.” “It was so great to have Senator Harsdorf visit our program,” Race said. “It’s such a terrific opportunity to share the important work being done here at Northwest Passage with children and adolescents. Senator Harsdorf really connected to our kids and was invested in hearing their stories.” This visit meant a lot. Senator Harsdorf is a role model to the young ladies of Northwest Passage Prairieview, showing them what strong women can do. It is also a reminder that representatives care about their community and what is happening in their regions.

People say pretty silly things at times, those utterances that strike us funny and make us laugh. We all fall victim to it and it happens at moments when our minds are caught off guard or in another place. At times, it can even extend to pure foolishness and outright comedy. It seems, though, that whenever we actually need to articulate something funny, we’re often unable to achieve the same results. Haven’t we all wanted to come up with a really good April Fools Day prank at some time or another in our (mostly younger) lives? In all my years, I’ve never succeeded in doing so and there probably isn’t one forthcoming this year either – not that I’ve entirely tossed the thought. Though I will probably remain delegated to observer, the expression and movie line “If you build it, they will come,” applies to many things including building space in ones mind for a fabulous idea to arrive. For now, I can share only a few foolish expressions that have entertained me. When Facebook was out of its infancy, a niece set up an account for one of my sisters. This sister and I became members about the same time. It wasn’t long after, she called me in a panic. Her words, fi lled with irritation and, even more so, helplessness and uncertain-

If this Lori Callahan doesn’t stop, I’m going to shut this site down!” Maybe one needs to know her and realize that she’s “not as old as (she) used to be,” as she once said. Lucky for her, I have five sisters and her identity is obscured. My mother doesn’t get the same anonymity since there’s only one of her. I recall a time at her kitchen table; three other sisters also were present. My mother was sharing about an article she read and summed it up by saying, “Your odds of making it to 70 years old are better if you don’t die before 60.” We laughed that sitting until our sides hurt. The further she tried to explain, the more uproarious our laughter became. Thanks, Mom – good medicine. Though she, too, appreciates the humor, she has more than once since attempted to re-ex-

plain her meaning. No clarification, however, will erase the clearly imprinted hilarity. It will always bring giggles. I even surprised myself just the other day with one of my own remarks when a gentleman commented on the disparity in size of my two dogs. “This one was an accident,” I said of the much smaller 15-pounder. The words came without hesitation. It took me a few moments to realize my statement sounded as if I bore them myself – like a mother accounting for a large gap in age between two children. It also explained his quizzical gaze following my response. What I had meant was that his permanent residence in my home was unplanned. Our brains work in funny manners sometimes. Top honors, however, must be given to the aforementioned sister for her question, “Do all trees have acorns?” It’s true – I swear. She asked that. Everyone says unintentional funny, foolish and surprising things. The trick is to catch them, have a chuckle and chalk it up to delightful humanness. In the meantime, I’ll leave my muse to work on a really good April Fools joke. You do the same.

Burnett County Sentinel’s GRANTSBURG–In a continual effort to provide readers with some insight into the candidates they elect to office, the Burnett County Sentinel once again is providing candidate profiles. For the April 4 Spring Election, there are contested races for the Burnett County Circuit Judge, Siren Village Board/President, Webster Village Board/President, and Grantsburg Village Board/President. Each candidate for these offices was asked to submit a 200word profile explaining who they are and why they are seeking office. Their profiles appear here in the order they were received.

Burnett County Circuit Court Judge DAVID GRINDELL-Challenger Mr. Grindell chose not to submit a profile.

MELISSA MOGEN-Challenger I am Melissia (Christianson) Mogen, a Burnett County native, raised on a dairy farm and county-proud. I graduated from Siren Schools in 1995 and turned 40 in February! After high school, I attended UW Stevens Point at Madison and graduated with honors in three years. From there, I attended Western Michigan-Cooley Law with a full scholarship and graduated in two

years at the top of my class. During the past 14 years, I gained extensive legal experience practicing for private firms, nonprofits and governmental entities. Early in life I learned the harder you work, the more results you achieve. I have never stepped down from a challenge. I came back to Burnett Mel Mogen County seven years ago to make a difference. I have been a strong advocate for my clients. It is time that I become a strong advocate for our county – a strong advocate for justice. I am running for judge to effectuate change. I want to increase the public trust in our legal system. Being a judge is not just what a person can do while sitting on the bench., it is also what a person can do off the bench and how they can impact and benefit the community. Our county is being devastated by meth and heroine and the subsequent effects. There is a substantial increase in cases involving children needing protection and services, domestic violence and sexual assaults and other associated crimes. We need change. I am invested in our county. I am committed to helping those who can be helped by utilizing available programs, and committed to holding others accountable for their

I received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, completing three deployments while on active duty and another as a civilian member of the Army. I am currently employed at McNally Industries as a machinist. My wife, Geniva, and I have three children. I really like that Grantsburg is in this beautiful area. It is giving us the opportunity to be far enough away from the cities to enjoy the natural reVincent Zilka sources and wildlife, yet still have a great community. I feel Grantsburg is an aging community and we need to do more to revitalize it. A lot of people may remember me from the Assembly race this past fall. During that election, I chose to let people know they had more options than the status quo. I feel that message has stuck, as I was asked to run for Village President because people want someone younger who will bring new and bold ideas to the table to help the community to grow. Let’s focus on our future together.

I have spent the past two years on the village board as a trustee and found it to be an exhilarating experience, to say the least. Village government has become much more involved than the days when issues were solved with a verbal agreements and a handshake. This is a good thing. We now dig into the legal issues and seek just solutions due to state, federal and local statutes and precedents. My intention is to be elected to the office of Village President. Being retired will Larry Ebersold give me more than enough time to research issues that may come up and learn as we go. My wife, Luann, and I have never regretted the decision to move to and live in the village of Grantsburg. It was a great place to raise our three children and have them attend our second-tonone school district. There are some things I feel need to be addressed in our village. With the help of our trustees, I hope to spend more time out and about, shall we say, cleaning up certain areas and issues. My name will appear on the ballot twice. First for president and secondly for trustee. This will help ensure that I am able to continue to serve.

I’m really excited about the direction the village of Webster is moving. We have a lot of exciting things going on in the village. Maybe the most exciting is the new Ingalls Clinic that is currently in the process of being designed. We hope this will help draw new businesses to Webster. As the current village president, the best thing I have is a great village board to work with. The village is lucky to have the people serving on the board that we have. It

We have raised our two sons, Seth and Sawyer, here and I consider myself very lucky to be a part of this community. I graduated from Grantsburg in 1986 and am a proud GHS alumni. I believe our school district is top notch and I remain active at the high school to this day, mainly in the athletic programs. I coached both of my sons in football and baseball growing up in the youth programs, and now I am an assistant football coach for the Goob Coy varsity team. I am also the “unofficial” caretaker of the baseball and softball fields, and spend a lot of volunteer hours maintaining the fields. I am employed part time at Jensen-Sundquist Insurance as an inspector. I also take photos for the Burnett County Sentinel, covering sports and other community events. My interest in being a trustee on the Village Board is simple — I love Grantsburg and want to do my part in maintaining what we love about this place we call home, while improving and growing for the future.

Siren man charged with felony OWI 6th offense POST OFFICE: Outgoing STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN — A Siren man has been charged in Burnett County Circuit Court with Felony Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), Sixth Offense, a Class G felony. If convicted, John Paulson could face a maximum of 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. A Grantsburg Police Department officer followed the vehicle after noticing it had no functioning taillights. The officer performed a traffic stop, assisted by a deputy from the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department. The officers conducted field sobriety tests on Paulson. The criminal complaint alleges that during the field testing Burnett County Dispatch informed the officers that Paulson had five prior OWI convictions. Paulson allegedly had a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of .04 when tested after being stopped May 10, 2016 in Grantsburg, which is below the usual legal limt. However, with five prior OWIs, the state’s “OWI accelerator rule” lowers Paulson’s legal BAC limit to .02

rather than the standard .08. According to the criminal complaint, Paulson told the traffic officers he thought he was pulled over because he driven through a stop sign. Paulson said he was unaware that his vehicle’s taillights were not working. While Paulson was still seated in the vehicle, officers saw an open can of alcoholic beverage in the vehicle’s center console and asked Paulson if he had been drinking that evening, or if there were any open alcohol containers in the vehicle. “Paulson responded no and slammed the console cover shut, covering the open container,” the report states. The officers could also see an empty alcohol container on the floor in the rear of the vehicle, the report stated. Paulson was asked to get out of the vehicle, and at that point, he told the officers that he had been drinking earlier that day. Paulson also told officers that his driver’s license was suspended because he had not been paying child support. The officers told Paulson he was being placed under arrest for OWI. After Paulson was in custody, offi-

cers found an unopened alcohol container of cucumber-flavored vodka in the center console. Paulson was transported to the Burnett Medical Center where he consented to an evidentiary blood draw. The criminal complaint states that blood test showed Paulson’s BAC was 0.038. A Felony Bail Jumping charge was filed against Paulson because he was under the conditions of a Felony Bail Bond at the time of the incident. One of the bail bond conditions required Paulson to not commit any crimes. If convicted of the charge of Felony Bail Jump, Paulson could face a maximum of an additional six years in prison or a fine of $10,000, or both. Public records show Paulson has another open Burnett County criminal case that was filed in April 2016, with a charge of Felony Bail Jump. Paulson’s plea hearing is set for April 5 in Burnett County Circuit Court.

GHS students visit Costa Rican friends GRANTSBURG — While we in Wisconsin are impatiently awaiting spring, nine Grantsburg High School students and their chaperones are visiting Costa Rica at the height of its summer. Perhaps you’ll feel warmer thinking of them enduring 90-degree heat in shorts and sandals while hiking through La Paz Waterfall Garden on a trail to three waterfalls, and watching exotic animals in a nearby reserve. The trip is one half sight-seeing and socializing vacation and the other half educational study, practicing their Spanish and studying the tropical island’s flora and fauna. The nine students are members of Instructor Katie Johnson’s advanced-level Spanish class, and most have also studied Biology with teacher Matt Berg. Johnson is accompanying the students along with Berg and his wife, Rebecca (Peer) Berg. The GHS students and their families were hosts to Costa Rican students during a mid-January visit to Grantsburg. The Costa Rican kids arrived the night of one of Grantsburg’s heaviest snowfalls, more than six inches of fluffy powder. They loved their first snow experiences including tubing, snowball fights, snowmobiling and ice fishing. Now the Grantsburg students will be guests in homes of the Costa Rican students they hosted. The GHS group left the high school at 2:30 a.m. Friday, March 10 and will return March 19. They landed in Liberia, Costa Rica, and traveled about 100 miles cross-country by shuttle bus to the nation’s capital city of San José, where their student hosts live and attend Santa Ana Technical High School. Chaperones will stay at homes of school teachers. The students will spend a day visiting the

Siren says farewell to ‘Mr. Lions Club’ BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

The importance of sleep in children’s health DR. DAVID AMMEND PEDIATRICIAN FOR NORTHWEST PASSAGE

This is National Sleep Awareness Week, and a good time to review how important good sleep is to the overall health of children throughout their school-age years. Children’s sleep specialists see sleep as critical to kids’ physical, mental and social growth and development. How much sleep is enough? Sleep needs vary with age – but surprisingly little! For children ages 6 to 13, sleeping 9-11 hours is the target. By senior high school, this only drops to 8-10 hours. What are the consequences of insufficient sleep? Children who do not get enough sleep can suffer from difficulty learning, inattention and hyperactivity. Some specialists feel that a diagnosis of ADHD should not be made until a good sleep evaluation is done. Poor sleep also contributes to obesity, anxiety and depression, stimulant abuse and (among teens) increased traffic accidents. What causes poor sleep in kids? While most of us have heard about “good sleep hygiene” (consistent bed- and wake-up times, no electronics in bed, no caffeine, no exercise right before bed, etc. Many conditions can contribute to sleep problems for kids. If children and teens do not respond to efforts at improved sleep hygiene, they should be seen by their primary health care provider for further guidance. Some kids will benefit from having a formal sleep study done by a Pediatric Sleep Medicine Specialist. Your healthcare provider can work with you to determine whether that is necessary.

SIREN—The name “Zeke” was spoken in conversations all over Siren this week as residents reflected on the loss of Martin (Zeke) Saugstad, affectionately called “Mr. Lions Club” by fellow Lions and others who knew of his tireless w w work and deep devotion ffor the club. Close friend and felllow Lion Rick Aaladen ssaid, “Lion Zeke slept, a ate, drank and lived for tthe Lions Club. He did L Lions Club work seven d days a week. Sometimes h he was helping people w who called us to pick u up furniture or even a whole house full of iitems for the Lions Club annual Crooked Lake Park Garage Sale. We have a 60’ x 130’ warehouse that gets filled with stuff people donate to the Lions. Zeke was in charge of the operation. Sometimes it takes several of us a whole week to move everthing from that building down to the park for the sale. Zeke was there every day working.” Zeke was born in St. Paul but moved to Siren about 40 years ago. When not doing Lions work, he laid carpet. Previously he owned and operated Whispering Oaks Resort on Clam Lake and Zeke’s Place bar on State Road 70 near Hertel. Although Zeke had been ill with congestive heart failure and in and out of the hospital quite a few times during the past couple of years, he continued to do Lions work whenever his health allowed. Aaladen noted Zeke called on businesses and individuals during the spring and early summer to collect donations for the annual Fourth of July fireworks. He also helped set up and run the event.

“He is going to be hard to replace. He ran the food wagon and was food buyer,” Aaladen added. Lion Chuck Awe commented, “One of the events Zeke started was the Christmas lights in the Park. Lion Zeke was the driving force each year and took a lot of pride in it. He got businesses involved in putting up displays, and he enlisted Bruce of Mauer Power to install power pedestals so each display has electrical power. He got the school involved and the football team to come over and help us older Lions members climb the ladders and hang the lights. He was one of the movers in the Lions Club. We will all attend his service wearing our Lions vests.” Lion Club Treasurer Big Mike Henricksen added, “Zeke and I knew each other 40 years. He joined the Lions in ‘76, a year after me. He was instrumental in running the waterskip on Clam Lake Narrows for 20 years. It was very successful. Everyone knows Zeke’s white van from running around Siren picking up donations for the garage sale. “He held every office in the club including president. He went to all the state meetings as long as his health allowed. He was very helpful with our meat raffles, which we run three times a week in different places. Often he was the guy who went to get the meat. His life was dedicated to the Lions. His passing is a big loss.”

Village President tribute

Village President Dave Alden addressed the village board at the close of the Thursday afternoon meeting. “I have had a sad moment in my life this week. I lost a personal friend with the passing of Zeke Saugstad. May God rest his soul. “I recall the time I was a little boy, growing up fairly poor here, and Zeke showed up one time at our house on Thanksgiving Day with a box of food to feed our family. I remember my mom crying at the door. She was so grateful that Zeke provided us with a Thanksgiving dinner. All his friends and The Lions Club are going to miss him one ton.”

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GR ANTSBURG —Despite last week’s sub-zero cold snap, the mid-February week of 50-60 degree weather probably means black bears are awake from winter hiberation and out looking for food. That’s the conclusion of DNR/Crex Meadows Wildlife Area Supervisor Steve Hoffman of Grantsburg and others. Hoffman is ready if bear problems occur in the village again this year. The DNR is planning for a second special bear hunt around Grantsburg during the fall 2017 bear season. In 2016, a total of 10 sow bears, cubs and yearlings were removed from the village limits via live trap. Three bear cubs were relocated to a Rhinelander “bear rehab” facility. Five of the older bears were lifelong residents of Grantsburg woods and streets, and had to be put down. One large boar and a sow were relocated. All were trapped before the hunting season, and no conflicts occurred that required live trapping during the hunting season. In 2015, the DNR and Department of Agriculture tried relocating bears, including a distinctive sow bear with two ear tags she had received from previous trappings. They moved that bear 90 miles to Glidden, but she was “back home” in Grantsburg within a month. During the fall 2016 bear season, the DNR opened a special bear hunting zone for nuisance bears within 1.5 miles of the village limits. The special hunting zone resulted in 14

bears harvested. Two of the 14 were taken with vertical bows, one with crossbow and the rest by rifle. All were harvested on private land by the landowner or one landowner-authorized, licensed hunter. None were taken with dogs. When setting up the two-year pilot project last fall, the DNR said it would use first-year results to make a decision on the second year hunt. Hoffman said if Grantsburg has frequent nuisance bear issues this spring and summer, the special 2017 hunt will be held. Right now it seems likely to happen, he added. PLEASE DON’T FEED THE BEARS Hoffman and Grantsburg Village President Glenn Rolloff agree that the village bear problem will continue as long as residents are feeding the bears. They suspect some

residents put out shelled corn, table scraps or other food items they know will attract bears. Other residents are unintentionally feeding bears by leaving dishes of pet food outdoors where bears will find it, or by putting their garbage bins out the night before pickup instead of the morning of pickup. Now is the time to take down bird feeder, Hoffman said. The village board has been discussing an ordinance that would first warn residents of violations, then issue tags and fines if the problem persists. The bear problems were bad enough in 201516 that some north side residents and families felt trapped in their homes by frequent bear visits. Kids couldn’t play in their yards without an adult watching for bears. Several moms said they

feared a confrontation with a sow bear and cubs while on a walk with kids or while out for a run. At a board meeting last year, Rolloff and other board members agreed some people who find bears cute are purposefully feeding them. “They think it’s fun to see the bears, but it’s putting themselves, their neighbors and the bears in danger,” Rolloff said. Rolloff said the board has attempted to notify residents about the bear feeding problem by posting information on the village website, by putting a flyer in the water bill and a notice in its newsletter and by putting stories in the newspaper. “I don’t know what else we can do to get the public’s attention, other than putting an ordinance and fine into place.”

WEEKLY WAG Aiden iis a striking Aid iki ffour-year-old ld orange cat with ih matching eyes. I happened to be at the shelter when this fellow was brought in by an elderly couple who found him and had been taking care of him while patiently waiting for an available cat condo to a open up at the shelter. o Our protocol for incomiing stray and surrendered a animals is that they do not c come through the office b because we don’t know w what they could be bringiing in with them. So this c couple (and kitty) were sstopped at the door before e entering. Until an animal Aiden gets checked out in our holding area (back room) and gets a clean bill of health and receives temperament tests, we need to contain them, not to mention our seven day hold in case the owners come to claim them. What struck me was how this man was holding this cat and how the cat just hung limp in the gentleman’s one arm. Because we had to make the transfer to the back room, there was a little wait and the man just stood on the deck, still with the noodle cat calm and hanging over his one arm. I turned to the shelter manager and said: “That there is a perfect cat!” I couldn’t believe Aiden didn’t try to escape. Not only was he not held tightly, but he didn’t look very comfortable. But Aiden didn’t seem to mind. He fully trusted this man that was holding him. You could tell there was already a bond between human and feline. The next time I saw Aiden was a couple weeks later lounging in his cat condo. He was just a wee bit timid when I first reached in to pet him, but as soon as I made contact with his head, he melted into my touch. What a darling, dashing, delightful dude! He is awaiting a negative fecal before he is approved to leave the building, but you can still apply to adopt him online or by stopping by to complete the adoption application. Charlie Bear, Confetti, and Cameo are three kittens who are currently being fostered by one of our volunteers. I don’t know much about this trio,other than they love each other and are pretty comfortable in their current home setting. If you are interested in finding out more about them or want to meet them for possible adoption, just contact the shelter to make an appointment. We’ll make sure they are available to meet with you!

water tower. The tower height didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother the village board, but the construction agreement and placement did. In April 2016, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSCW) granted Mobilitie permission to build a new communications tower system all over the state. The ruling states villages may not charge Mobilitie for purchasing or leasing the right-of-way land. That ruling was especially troubling to the Webster board because it previously charged SirenTel and Starwire Communications, two Burnett County companies, to purchase right-of-way land near the water tower. Those companies provide land line and cell phone communications, and may find themselves in competition with cellular companies that rent space on the proposed new tower. PSCW set rules that once the tower placement process begins, the village board has only 60 days in which to decide whether to allow or deny the permit following strict guidelines. If it denies, it must explain its denial in writing to the company. Ryan Streff of Minneapolis represented Mobilitie at this, his second meeting with the Webster board. The California-based company is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest privately-owned tower construction company.

Line of site towers According to an online story at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fierce Wirelessâ&#x20AC;? web site last June, Mobilitie is Sprint Celluarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary vendor and looks to roll out as many as 70,000 communications devices, include briefcase-size antennas mounted on power poles in large cities and 120-foot towers in the rural areas across the state and the country, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;densifyâ&#x20AC;? its network. In outstate areas like Burnett County, Mobilitie seeks to place line-of-site towers in the countryside and within smaller communities like Webster. The Webster board discussion lasted more than 30 minutes. All seven Webster board members were reluctant to make the motion to allow the company to begin surveying two or three possible sites for the tower. The board members didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any of the sites were good for the tower. Mobilitie says in public documents that it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not dedicated to any customer.â&#x20AC;? However, under persistent questioning by Trustee Tim Maloney and other board members, Streff eventually revealed that the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main tenant and driving force behind the tower construction is

Sprint Cellular, which would compete with local carriers and possibly the village itself. The board has kicked around the idea of providing village-wide Wi-Fi. Last fall, the village of Grantsburg approved a Mobilitie tower beside its south water tower along St. Road 70 near the grocery store, after Mobilitie agreed to put a red flashing aviation warning light on top of the tower, due to its proximity to the helicopter pad at Burnett Medical Center. Websterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right-of-way space is more limited than Grantsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and none of Mobilitieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed sites seemed suitable to the board. Eventually, the entire board voted to allow Mobilitie to survey the three sites for suitability to erect the free-standing, deep cement-based tower. After the meeting, one board member said privately, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This company got some kind of sweetheart deal from the folks in Madison.â&#x20AC;?

In other actions, the board:

â&#x20AC;˘Learned that the old Webster school walls are torn down and work will now begin to remove the foundation. The demolition company is ahead of its goal to be done at the site by the end of March. â&#x20AC;˘Approved first-half payment of $292,368 to Haas Sons Demolition company for their removal work so far on the old school. â&#x20AC;˘Learned that crushing of cinder block and other debris will begin soon at the old school site, and equipment will be used to minimize the dust in the community. â&#x20AC;˘Agreed to provide rent-free access to the community center for Connections to host a fashion show in June to benefit for Burnett County Connections Store and Food Shelf. â&#x20AC;˘Reappointed Sherill Summer to a second three-year term on the Larsen Family Public Library Board of Directors and appointed Webster Elementary Reading Specialist Kari Roppe to a first term, with another library board position still open. â&#x20AC;˘Directed the Webster Police officers who do liaison work in Webster schools to sign in and out on the school visitor log at every visit. â&#x20AC;˘Approved two contracts to repair, waterproof and rebuild manholes in the village streets. One contract went to Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pipe Service of Brownsville, WI for $42,935 and the other to JKP of Webster, owned by Joe Pavlicek, for $67,765. â&#x20AC;˘Approved moving the Webster Chamber of Commerce phone to Webster Cog and Sprocket, where Bill and Sherill Summer will answer calls on behalf of the Chamber.

Sentinel All County girls team selected My, that was a fast season we’ve just encountered or maybe it’s just that we at the Sentinel are getting older and time just seems to fly by. In any event, the girls’ basketball season here has ended and with that comes the time when the Sports Department gets around a Mountain Dew or cup of coffee and talks over whom should be chosen for the Burnett County All-Star team for girls basketball. It was a rebuilding year for our teams, with many playing sophomores and freshmen on their varsity squads. As a result, we have more “Players to Watch” this season than we’ve had in the past. Let’s go ahead and talk about all the ladies we selected to be on the Sentinel All-Star team. We chose Allison Mulroy (Webster), Sarah Shaffer (Siren), and three gals from Grantsburg — Cassidy Lee, Rhiana Pochman and Tymber King to be the top players. Allison averaged 10 points a game for the Tigers. She was “our top scorer and if she was hitting shots, we were going to be tough to beat,” says her coach. Allison was a leader both on and off the court, “putting in countless hours to help build our program.” Sarah was a force to be reckoned with in the paint for the Dragons. She averaged eight points per game with 7.5 rebounds. Sarah played a tough defense and was hard to get around. Cassidy was the leading scorer for the Pirates, scoring an average of 22.2 points per game. Cassidy passed the 1,000 points-in-a-career plateau and ended her time at Grantsburg with 1,152 tallies, which puts her at the top of the list for all-time scoring at GHS for the girls program. She also broke a Grantsburg single-game scoring record for the Pirates with 40. Rhiana averaged 5.1 points a game, but her strength was in her defense and her rebounding with 10.1 per game. She went over 500 rebounds in a career. Rhiana “led the team in rebounding, steals and deflectons,” says her coach. Tymber averaged 8.2 points per game, and was tough to beat in the paint. “She is second in rebounding and is our most-improved player,” says her coach. “Tymber has made huge strides this year.” The Sentinel chose Abby Kosloski and Jade Horstman from Siren, and Julia Gavin from Webster as our Honorable Mention players. Abby averaged eight points per game along with three rebounds. Jade was a force in the Dragon back court, many times leading the charge toward the basket and playing tough defense. Julia averaged seven points, nine rebounds, two steals and two blocks per game this season for the Tigers as a sophomore. “She was our defensive stopper on the inside and really improved as a scoring threat this season as an underclassman,” says her coach. As we said earlier, our “Players to Watch” list is significant this year as all teams have a lot of young talent that will be leaving their mark in the upcoming years. The list includes Olivia Ohnstad and Brook Quimby of the Pirates; Maddie Nichols and Paeyton McKnight of the Dragons; and Makena Buffington from the Tigers. All of these players had significant time on the court, especially during the last half of the season. We feel they are on their way to a successful high school career. The “Most Improved Player” was difficult from to choose as we saw a number of players who would qualify. We chose Tingo Mosher of the Tigers. She played either a guard or wing position. As time progressed through this season, we saw her become more aggressive in driving towards the hoop, going for defensive rebounds and becoming more confident in getting the ball from the back court to the front court. She hustled on defense and went after many loose balls. There it is. What do you think? Did you see what we saw? Congratulations to the players who made the AllStar team. Congratulations also to the coaches and their teammates who helped them along the way. Thank you, basketball fans, for supporting your team through thick and thin. Until next season ...

Colorectal cancer can affect anyone and is most often found in people ages 50 and older. The best way to prevent colorectal cancer is to get a colonoscopy regularly starting at age 50. There are often no signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer – that’s why it’s so important to get screened.

Some companies provide you with wallet-sized cards, others provide a sheet noting insurance information that you can keep in your glove compartment. When you receive your new policy packet, or renewal packet, proof of insurance cards will be included. Be sure to look for them and be sure to put them in your vehicle. It will save some headaches if you happen to get pulled over by a law enforcement officer. If you do not have auto insurance be prepared to receive a citation and pay a fine.

Q. What should my children be drinking to keep their teeth healthy?

Q. I’ve applied to several jobs, why am I not getting any interviews? Dr. Dr Heather Marks

Dr. Rollyn Lee Dr

A. It’s best for children to drink predominantly water and milk. Most city tap waters contain fluoride, which helps to strengthen the teeth from decay. Milk provides calcium and vitamin D for proper growth and development, but also contains the sugar lactose, which can lead to tooth decay if the child is constantly sipping on milk all day and night. Avoid putting your child to bed with a bottle, especially with any sort of drink besides water. If a child drinks from a bottle throughout nighttime, their teeth become bathed in sugar, which can lead to “baby bottle decay.” Even “real” fruit juices contain a lot of sugar, which can lead to cavities in both children and adults. Sodas contain no nutritional value whatsoever, and put the teeth at a high risk for tooth decay.

Washing your vehicle will make it ‘sparkle’, but there are other benefits. Over the course of the harsh winter, and into the warm spring months, your vehicle accumulates snow, salt, mud, and road debris. These contaminants can corrode and rust your vehicle’s metal, while fading and scratching its paint. Washing your vehicle will rid it of these contaminants and decrease these harsh results. It would be good practice to perform an undercarriage wash at least once a month and after any long road trips.

winter months. When the humidity level outside drops an the air outside is cold and dry, the water in your skin evaporates more quickly making your skin feel dry and tight. Remember to cover up your skin when you are outside, regularly apply moisturizing lotion, and stay hydrated. Futhermore, dry indoor air not only dries out your skin, but it also leads to dry, chapped lips, dry noses (nosebleeds), and dry throat (hoarseness, sore throat). Using a humidifier at night will replace the moisture in the air that gets sucked out by dry indoor heat. The humidifier helps hydrate dry skin and soothes chapped lips, dry throat, and nasal passages.

MARCH 15, 2017

Turn away from sin The Gospel is the Good News about our salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. The season of Lent is the time of year when the cChurch more consciously focuses on the price that it cost the Lord Jesus so that our sins may be forgiven and we may receive this salvation. The Church is now in the Season of Lent. It began two weeks ago, on March 1, with Ash Wednesday. The Lenten Season is 40 days long and will take us right up to Palm Sunday, which is April 9 this year, and the Pastor Emory L. Johnson Sunday before Easter when we celebrate the New Hope Lutheran Church Lord Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resurrection from the dead. The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lentâ&#x20AC;? originally simply meant

the â&#x20AC;&#x153;spring seasonâ&#x20AC;? and later took on the meaning of 40 days. The length of 40 days was a type of parallel to the length of the 40 day fast that Moses (Exodus 34:28), Elijah (I Kings 19:8), and the Lord Jesus (Matthew 4:2) went through. Lent is a time of personal reflection, a time to take a good look at our life to see if we are heading in the right direction. If you are looking for more in life and feel that something may be missing, then today is the day to turn your attention towards God and ask Him for His help and direction. God loves you and the Lord Jesus paid the price for our

STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

Siren’s Tina Karsten with her son, ConLee (front) and nephew Oliver. They rode the 5K in a stroller Tina pushed for an extra workout. Runners ranged in age from 6 - 81.

Molly Bentley (above, right) of Siren was the first woman across the Shamwalk 5K finish line Saturday with a time of 21:55.03 on an 8˚morning. Grantsburg’s William Gerber (right), 13, was the third overall finisher across the Shamwalk 5K finish line, just one minute behind the top two adult male runners. His time was a very impressive 20:42.69.

When public notices reach the public, everyone benefits.

Some officials want to move notices from newspapers to government-run websites, where they may not be easily found.

This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
