‘Problem landlords’ respond positively BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG-—Landlords whom the Grantsburg Village Board sent letters in March threatening fines for safety code violations have responded positively to the board’s demands, the board learned at its Monday evening meeting. The landlords have begun working with Village Fire Inspector Cory Barnette and tenants in their buildings to correct longstanding code problems. The board expressed surprise and delight at the positive turn of events. By consensus, the board agreed to levy no fines for now and to work with the landlords whenever possible to encourage safety improvements. Barnette said he plans another visit to the buildings in late May to ensure progress has been made.

In another building-related event, the Public Safety Committee met an hour before the full board meeting to discuss concerns about vacant downtown buildings, in particular the former Red Owl building between U.S. Bank and Hummer’s Rendezvous on the south side of Madison Avenue (main street).

Who will Ebersold choose? BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—After winning two seats on the Grantsburg Village Board at the April 4 election, Larry Ebersold has some choices to make. First will be to decide whether to serve as village president or trustee, since he won both seats. At the March 21 forum for Grantsburg Village Board candidates, Ebersold said he would accept the village president position if he won both, but he has until Tuesday, April 18, to decide. The newly-elected board positions for Ebersold, new Trustee Gary (Goob) Coy and re-elected Trustee Diane Barton become official when the election results are certified on April 18. But, since the village board already met April 10, their positions don’t become official until the next village board meeting on May 8. SEE EBERSOLD, PAGE 8

Siren Civics class tackles ambulance cost BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—The challenge of funding the anticipated big increase in county ambulance service has Burnett County Towns Association Chairman Chris Sybers thinking “way outside the box,” he says. “We’ve got to have some new thinking on this problem, so why not turn to the next generation of taxpayers?” To find some original thinking about the problem, Sybers turned to Siren High School’s Government and Civics class and their teacher, Richard Larson. Sybers visited the class on a couple of occasions this winter to address the ambulance issues and give them time to ponder it. He plans to return on April 21, the day after the ambulance committee receives and opens the bids for the next contract. “I put the problem on the board and asked the students to figure this out, because I can’t,” Sybers said. “I am getting some really good ideas and options from them. “They are the ones who are going to start paying for this in a few short years. It is a five-year contract,

so the seniors and juniors in this class are going to be getting jobs and starting to pay taxes. This problem is coming to them, so I figured, let’s bring the problem to them and get some fresh thinking.”

Real-world concerns

Sybers said the prospect of not having ambulance service was worrisome to the students. He assured them that ambulance service would be provided because it is required by law; paying for it is the issue. Last month, statistics released by the Wisconsin Department of Health showed Burnett County today has Wisconsin’s fifth oldest population, with 35.2 percent of residents age 60 or more. Only Adams, Door, Iron and Vilas counties have an older population, with Vilas the highest at 37.7 percent. “The kids understand that older populations use the ambulance more, so there is no question we’re going to need ambulance service. The kids agreed and they want assurances that when they call an ambulance, it will be there in a short amount of time. SEE LEARNING EXPERIENCE, PAGE 2

LEARNING EXPERIENCE: Civics class tackles ambulance costs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

These kids are thinking about their own wellbeing and their families, both now and when they get out of school and into the workforce.”

Raise taxes The most logical answer, the students said, is to raise taxes. A $10 increase per $100,000 of property value would solve the problem, the kids suggested after doing the math. “The state won’t allow that,” Sybers replied. “Why not?” they asked. Sybers responded, “Because going back to the Gov. Doyle administration and now continuing into Gov. Walker’s, the state does not allow any new taxes.” “That’s pretty stupid,” the kids said. Sybers responded, “Technically, we are operating under the same budget that was made 12 years ago, because we have not been able to increase our budget as the costs have increased. “To relate that to the kids, I said, “it’s no different than the cost of pop and candy bars increasing.” The kids understood that.”

Sybers told them, “I have made inquiries to the hospitals over the years, and they don’t want anything to do with ambulances. ‘Hospitals and ambulances are two different businesses,’ they say. It all comes down to money, and it’s hard for a hospital to make money on an ambulance service.”

Have ﬁre departments run ambulance “Let’s have the fire departments run the ambulance,” the kids proposed. “They already have people on call and many are trained as first responders.” “That’s a good idea,” Sybers responded. “They would have to go out for discussion and look at the dollars and cents of it. Would it be cheaper to have the contract we have now? Fire departments are associations with their towns, so it could be a good match. But, it’s not going to happen within the next six-month period. “I think that is forward-thinking by the students and should be looked into down the road.” As rural fire departments find fewer volunteer fire fighters, they may be forced to hire some professional firefighters, who could also run the ambulance.

Hospital-supplied ambulances “Hospitals should run the ambulance service,” the kids proposed. “It seems logical that if the hospital runs the ambulance, it takes the patient to their hospital.”

Get new businesses to locate here “One student said we need to get more businesses here, which would bring more jobs and more people to help pay taxes and raise the tax base. He suggest-

ed a township could offer land and reduced taxes for a few years to motivate companies to move here. Property values would increase, tax revenues would increase and that would provide more revenue for services like ambulances. The business could repay the incentives over 15-20 years. These kids are actually thinking about bringing more businesses into the county. “I have to admit that stunned me. I thought, ‘Wow, these kids are really thinking about this and taking it seriously.’”

Good learning exercise

“I think the kids in this government class now have a better understanding of how complex these problems can be,” Sybers added. “They now understand that many adults in their county attend a lot of meetings for little or no pay to try to solve the problems. “Hard decisions come with the territory as kids become adults. I hope some of these kids will continue to think about government seriously and step forward to serve on boards and be good citizens,” he concluded.

Wausau shooting update

Conservationists called for action on safe drinking water and state parks

WAUSAU—The Wausau community remains safe as law enforcement continues to work around the clock to investigate the facts of Wednesday’s terrible tragedy that took four lives. The suspect of these deadly shootings is still in law enforcement custody at this time, and additional details about the suspect will be released at a later date. A memorial fund for the Weiland family has been established through Intercity State Bank, 2900 Schofield Ave., Weston, WI 54476. Donations for the family can be directed to Intercity State Bank under the name of “Weiland Memorial Fund.” A memorial fund for all victims has been established through River Valley Bank, c/o Victims Family Fund, 327 N 17th Ave., Wausau, WI 54401. Donations will be accepted at all River Valley Branch locations until April 30, 2017.

MADISON—Wisconsin League of Conservation voters hosted Conservation Lobby Day on March 29 where hundreds of conservation voters representing dozens of organizations and every legislative district in Wisconsin visited their legislators at the State Capitol. Wisconsin is facing unprecedented threats to its drinking water and its public lands. Lead contaminates drinking water systems across the state – children are being poisoned in their own schools and homes. Manure pollution is forcing residents to haul water from miles away in order to drink and bathe. Our state parks – economic engines and primary point of entry to the outdoors – are threatened by lack of support and privatization. Hundreds of conservation-minded citizens attended and dozens of organizations were represented. Experts in various aspects of conservation and environmental issues spoke and citizens shared their personal experiences.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

APRIL 12, 2017

Let’s ﬁll the pages I’ve asked you all a lot of questions in my first few weeks. What are you reading? Do you ever think about what your neighbors are doing— the ones you don’t know all too well. What kind of music do you like? Do you enjoy the ruddiness of Bob Dylan as I do? Well, just to be consistent... I have another intrigue— an even bigger one. What do you want to see in the Burnett County Sentinel? We all have our preferences: crime, sports, local board discussions, what’s happening in our schools and, of course, crosswords. Personally, I prefer a good feature story about a chap who likes to make maple syrup. You know, the Sentinel stories that tell us about who our neighbors are, what they are doing Editor when they aren’t at work, or, what Sean Devlin does Jim from the bar do on Saturdays when he’s not selling real estate, doing other peoples’ taxes or pouring cement? (I hope no person does all that. It’s far too much; let the guy breathe). I want to know about his bee collection and how much honey he jars for his friends. And, I wonder if Sheila has a friend in England - a girl she met years ago on a family trip - and do they send poems or stories to each other and live in different worlds over a cup of tea or red wine on Sunday nights with only the moon lighting their distant dining room tables. Maybe you want to know how the governor’s new budget will affect us. Maybe this will make you think of Vinnie, your nephew from Webb Lake who went on to play junior hockey and then to college and now he’s living in St. Paul working as an insurance broker and watching the Wild come playoff time. I’ll back off a bit now. I do go on at times. But, I want to know what sort of content you - the trusted readers - want to read. Now, I will say this... We are a small team. Small, dedicated, and we do our best to get what we think is relevant, timely and enjoyable on the pages every Wednesday. Numbers constrict us and travel is time consuming, but there are plenty of ways we can attempt to get hold of the news that suits you. We want to do right by you, all of you. If you have any suggestions you want to send our way, well, we will take them and do our best to meet your expectations. So, please, reach out to me, or any of us at the Sentinel and offer up your choice words. You know where to reach me. By phone, 715- 4632341. By email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. And, do check out our site and Facebook page; we keep a few stories running on each. Also, one more question... I’m thinking about replacing the eagle on the top of the paper with my cat, Rue. She’s a gem. What do you think? Chat soon.

One down, two to go BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

Call it a victory for transparency in government, call it elected officials listening to the voters. Or simply call it a win for the people who pay the bills. The Joint Finance Committee that methodically works their way through the budget proposed by the governor has removed language from the Department of Administration (DOA) budget. The language would have removed the requirement that towns, villages, cities, schools and community colleges publish summaries of their proceedings in a newspaper. From the Instead, these units of government Publisher’s would simply have been able to post Desk the summary in one public space and on their website. Tom Stangl Private citizens and businesses that i db are required by law to publish notices for court proceedings ranging from name changes to probate notices would not have seen relief from this change. The folks that argued for the language change said that the expense of publishing these notices was a waste of taxpayer dollars. The cost in our markets was a small fraction of a percentage of the annual budgets. All details, from the size and font type that we use, to the prices we charge, are regulated by the state. We recertify each year to be an official newspaper. For years, Wisconsin newspapers have been uploading notices to a central website, www.wisconsinpublicnotices.org at no additional charge to all of our public notice advertisers. We do the same at the website for our paper.

ADVERTISING & NEWS DEADLINE IS MONDAY AT NOON

We understand that readers want options. Many readers consume their news in the traditional print form, others prefer to read on their desktop computer and some like their tablets or smartphones. That’s why we provide public notice information in all of these locations. From the start, I have believed that this issue was never about the money. Don’t get me wrong, newspapers appreciate every dollar we receive, from subscriptions to newsstand sales to advertising of all types. Without these funds, we could not operate our news operations. By having newspapers, an independent third party, publish and curate these official documents, the official record remains intact and easily accessible. They also remain frozen in time and unable to be changed. Perhaps it is the general sentiment, fueled by a divisive presidential campaign, that all “media” is bad or biased that inspired this language in the governor’s budget. The popular misconception that newspapers are a couple of bad breaks away from disappearing from the planet could have also helped a partisan attack on transparency. No more newspapers, no more worries. This is all speculation on my part, but having similar legislation introduced in 13 states this session isn’t a coincidence. Calls from the public to legislators proved to be very influential in the discussions about the budget. I want to personally thank readers who reached out to me about this issue and made the phone calls. Your voices were heard and made a difference. 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. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time. The Burnett County Sentinel is published every Wednesday by Sentinel Publications, LLC. USPS No. 080020.

As the Sheriff of Burnett County, I have investigated many ways to combat the meth problem in our county. We have had Meth Town Halls, presentations and school education. Is this helping? Education is good, but is it enough? Law enforcement, along with our social workers, see the impact daily on the children in our county. I hear these words “someone needs to do something.” A start would be for citizens to report suspected abuse and drug use to law enforcement. This has to be a combined effort. Attacking the meth problem here will take all of us— Law Enforcement, the Courts, Health and Human Services, Restorative Justice and you, the community. This would be our civic organizations, churches, schools and individuals working within your own families to prevent drug use. Most meth users have a previous abuse history of alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs and heroin. We can put people in jail, but that often does not solve the problem. Social workers can work with families, but that doesn’t solve the long-term problem either. Requiring people to attend programming has shown some success, but often doesn’t last long enough into recovery. The lack of resources in Burnett County directly impacts how we are able to combat the drug use and culture that exist here. And, this is where you the citizen come in, get involved in your community to combat this terrible drug. More to come on how to get involved. Sheriff Ron Wilhelm, Burnett County Sheriff’s Office

LANDLORDS: Positive response to problems CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

During the fall and winter of 2016-17, the building was open and accessible to vagrants who occupied and vandalized it, and attempted to start a fire. One interior wall is partially collapsed. Multiple attempts to get repairs from the Twin Cities landlord proved fruitless, so in January the village board instructed its Public Works Director Chris Bartlett to seal the building. Public Safety Committee members Diane Barton, Greg Peer and Glenn Rolloff, accompanied by Police Chief Jeff Schinzing and Contractor Wayne Lake, inspected the building’s exterior Monday afternoon. They expressed concern that loose bricks or roof edge pieces could fall off the building and strike a passerby. They also expressed relief that the building was sold recently for a reported price of $5,000 and hope the new owner will repair or raze the structure.

Spring Clean-up

In other actions, the board: – Set the annual Spring Cleanup Days on May 8-12. Residents may call the village office to schedule a pickup or to learn more about what household items may be discarded during the cleanup for removal by the village crew. – Approved a contract with Premier Outdoor Services to sweep all Grantsburg streets during daylight hours of April 24-28. Chief of Police Jeff Schinzing was directed to help clear parked cars from village streets on the street sweeping days. Bartlett estimated the work will require 16 hours at $125 an hour for the street sweeper and one truck, with some assistance provided by the village crew. That price would be a savings from the street sweeping costs last year, he said. – Hired a firm to do an asbestos evaluation on a vacant house at 224 N Oak Street near Wood River bridge. The family of late owner Deborah Clementson has offered the property (considered uninhabitable) at a low price to the village for demolition, but the village board ordered a property inspection first to determine what the cleanup cost may run.

– Appointed Trustee Caylin Muehlberg to represent the village board on the Grantsburg Public Library Board of Directors. – Appointed Mike Giles to Housing Authority Board. – Approved spending up to $696, two-thirds of the cost of a series of “Community Wayfinding Signs,” to be placed at strategic intersections along State Road 70 in the village. Each sign will list three locations such as the library, village hall, swimming pool, golf course and Crex Meadows with arrows pointing the way toward the destinations. The other third of the cost will come from the library donations fund. – Approved the annual Carlyle Sherstad 5K/10K run/walk on Saturday during Big Gust Days.

also directed Wanless to establish a driveway on his property in accordance with village ordinances, to park vehicles only on the driveway and confirm that all vehicles at his property have current license tags. – Granted Craig Bowman’s request to use the Grantsburg Municipal Airport one Sunday afternoon per summer month for rocket club launches. – Approved a $3,500 contract to MSA to assist village employees to comply with new state reporting requirements for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts.

Alley paving – Agreed with Public Works Supt. Bartlett’s plan to get at least three bids for rebuilding and paving the alley for one block behind Madison Avenue buildings from U.S. Bank to Cindi’s Hair Care at an estimated cost of less than $25,000. – Approved resident Vincent Zilka’s request to provide firewood for sale to summer campers at Memory Lake Park, with proceeds benefiting a new Grantsburg 4-H club being organized by Zilka’s wife, Geneva. – Authorized the board’s Administration Committee to interview and hire a Public Works Department Administrative Assistant to replace Mary Griesbach, who resigned.

Excessive vehicles on property – Met with Kevin Wanless, who owns a home at 661 N Nelson Street. Neighbors have complained to the village that at least six vehicles and excessive personal property fill the fenced Wanless property and create an eyesore. Wanless contested the village’s claims and struck a somewhat defiant attitude toward the board’s complaints about the half dozen vehicles and other personal property stored outdoors. The board instructed Village Clerk Patrice Bjorklund to mail a complete set of the several ordinances which the board says Wanless is violating. The board

Man charged with child neglect BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL

TOWN OF RUSK—Justin Davis Erickson, 27, is charged with one count of second degree recklessly endangering safety and one count of child neglect. On January 11, the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department, the Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Burnett County Department of Health and Human services conducted a search at the home of Erickson in Spooner. The search of the residence revealed methamphetamine and marijuana use within the proximity of a child. HHS investigated the child as a victim of abuse and neglect. As a result of HHS’s involvement, a hair

follicle test was performed which tested positive for traces of amphetamines and cannabinoids. According to the criminal complaint, Erickson admitted to smoking methamphetamine inside the home and claimed ownership of drug paraphernalia. He also claimed Alissa, the child’s mother, does not use methamphetamine. According to the compliant, neglect of a child can be substantiated when a caregiver fails to provide necessary care and supervision to a minor child which in turn seriously endangers a child’s physical health. These health issues can include anything from headaches to respiratory issues to death. Erickson could face up to a $25,000 fine, or imprisonment up to 10 years, or both.

Father, son face identical charges of threatening man with ax SIREN— A father and son face identical charges of second degree reckless endangering safety and disorderly conduct after confronting a man with an ax— the boyfriend of the man’s daughter. Shortly after 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 16, a Burnett County police official was dispatched to Old 35 in Meenon Township to investigate a fight. The complainant, Jessica Constable, said two suspects were chasing her boyfriend with an ax. The suspects were identified as Billie Constable, 61, and Keegan Constable, 17. According to the criminal complaint, Billie and Keegan went to Jessica’s home to “get coffee and mayonnaise.” Jessica’s boyfriend, David, confronted Billie and Keegan about the two men eating his and Jessica’s food. According to the complaint, Billie “came after [Da-

vid] and threatened to kill him.” David said he was “afraid for his life” and picked up a shovel to defend himself. David and Keegan confronted him with an ax and despite David’s backing away, “they kept advancing.” David abandoned his shovel and Keegan “swung the ax over-head and side to side at him and it nearly struck [David’s face].” Keegan allegedly swung the ax five times and missed. David said he would have shot Keegan with a gun if he had one. David then ran to the neighbor’s home. It is reported that Jessica at this time screamed at Billie and Keegan that she had notified the police; the two men fled on bicycles—Keegan fled with the ax in hand. Both are set to appear in court at 2 p.m. on April 12

Woman found guilty of OWI - 9th offense BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—Mavis J. Rogers, 51 of Luck was found guilty last week in Burnett County Circuit Court of Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) —her ninth offense. According to the criminal complaint, Rogers was pulled over by a Webster Police officer on Saturday, September 3, 2016 and was arrested after she failed field sobriety tests. The officer’s check of her driving record showed eight prior convictions which, by Wisconsin law, had lowered Rogers’ maximum legal blood alcohol limit to .02. Her first OWI stems back to July 14, 1993. Rogers faces a possible fine of $25,000 on this charge and up to 10 years in prison. The jury trial is set for May 9. Rogers is already incarcerated in a Wisconsin prison on previous OWI offenses.

‘Chasing the dragon’ BY JESSICA DE LA CRUZ EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM

TREGO—Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel made the long drive to Trego last week. His appearance at the Northwoods Coalition Methamphetamine Summit gave those on the front lines of Wisconsin’s methamphetamine crisis reassurance in knowing that a powerful voice is on their side. Local officials turned out in force to meet with Schimel and voice concern over the issue. More than 280 stakeholders from 33 northern Wisconsin counties were in attendance at Heartwood Conference Center, from law enforcement and legislators, to social and health care workers. The event was hosted by a non-profit division of Marshfield Clinic called ‘Northwoods Coalition,’ a large umbrella organization that has worked toward resolving Wisconsin’s meth-related challenges through grant funding and the work of smaller, local coalitions. Like the summit held in December in Rice Lake, this one also provided much in the way of education, networking and idea generation. Schimel opened his speech declaring he would henceforth refer to northwest Wisconsin as ‘God’s country.’ “Meth has always been a God’s country problem,” he said. “Statewide, we are well aware of the effects of the opiate epidemic. But some of you in God’s country describe meth as even worse. And, you’re getting hit with both.” Unlike heroin’s lethal consequences, meth’s danger lies in the destruction it creates. Now 12 years removed from statewide legislation that helped crack down on local meth labs, it is back—in a big way. “Unfortunately, it’s a giant game of ‘Whack-A-Mole’ because the Mexican drug cartels simply rolled in and took over production,” said Schimel. “Ninety five percent of our methamphetamine is imported from Mexico,” he continued. “It’s more potent, it’s more addictive, it’s more destructive and it’s cheaper. The dealers will even offer you free samples to get you hooked. All of this is a perfect storm and we had better brace ourselves.” In highlighting details of a newly released 2016 Wisconsin Methamphetamine Study, Schimel reviewed a long history of the substance, including its wide use by the German military during World War II. “Tank Chocolate,” as it was called, kept tired pilots awake and German soldiers euphoric. “Today’s users consume methamphetamine that is one thousand times more potent than the dose taken by World War II soldiers. That’s frightening,” Schimel exclaimed. He outlined the pitfalls of a new and more difficult kind of drug war. “We used to find a half dozen crack users and they would all point to the same drug house. The problem now,” as Schimel raises a cell phone, “is that THIS is a drug house. They don’t go to a drug house anymore. By the time we’re calling it, that phone is thrown away.

EBERSOLD: Who will he choose? CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

That’s when they take will the oath of office and assume their duties. When Ebersold takes the village president seat, one of his first duties may be to decide what to do with the trustee seat he also won. His choices are to 1) leave it open or 2) nominate someone to fill it, according to village ordinance 2-2-3. If he nominates someone, his choice must be approved by a majority vote of the entire board. Ebersold said he plans to nominate former Village President Glenn Rolloff, who did not run for re-election as president. Instead, Rolloff ran for a trustee position but finished fourth and was not elected. If the board rejects Ebersold’s nomination, he may leave the seat empty or make another nomination, and the process begins again. He may not renominate the same person for 12 months. If 60 days go by without the village president nominating someone to the open seat, the trustees may make a nomination and vote. Village Clerk Patty Bjorklund said in her previous experience as Webster Village Clerk that on two occasions a trustee position remained open, once for more than a year following the death of Trustee Paul Berg.

When Ebersold takes the village president seat, one of his ﬁrst duties will be to decide what do to with the trustee seat he also won.

Families urged to have emergency food supply BURNETT COUNTY— The Public Safety Committee meeting held on Thursday, April 6 brought to light a project headed by Burnett County Director of Emergency Management Jim Tolbert that will come to fruition in September, National Preparedness Month. How can preparing for disaster be fun? “I’m not sure,” said Tolbert, “but we are going to try to figure that out.” September is National Preparedness Month and Tolbert’s goal is to find the good even in dire situations. The goal this year is to encourage each family unit in the county to supply themselves with seven days worth of non-perishable food. In the event of a disruption to normality, each family would be secured with the essential – food and water – for seven days. Tolbert is working to partner with the grocery stores in the county, along with other organizations and businesses supporting community-based programs to facilitate families in “putting up” favorite non-perishable food stuffs. “People don’t need to suffer through lousy meals during a time that will be, by definition, stressful. If we can help everyone squirrel away supplies that can be used to provide nutritious, tasty, easily prepared and convenient meals, it might make a bad situation a little bit better.” Plans are in their infancy, but a project has been

initiated with the goal of making preparing for a disaster exciting. “The ‘Doomsday Prepper’s’ are an admirable group, but that mindset isn’t for everyone,” Tolbert noted. He added, “If making each family unit self sufficient for the first several days of a major event can be made the norm, the stress and panic of dealing with the larger issues might be minimized.” The Sentinel will release further updates at the appropriate times.

‘The goal is to encourage each family unit in the county to supply themselves with seven days worth of non-perishable food.’

Sheriff thanks the public

Also on the agenda was the Law Enforcement Department report. Sheriff Ron Wilhelm expressed his concerns for the ever-present methamphetamine issue in Burnett County. He expressed his gratitude for community members that assisted the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department by offering information about possible drug-related incidents. “That kind of information comes from the public and is very, very valuable,” he said, adding, “This meth problem is out of control. We are taking it very seriously.” For more insight from Sheriff Wilhelm, read his column on page 5. It will provide answers to questions from the public and his hopes of building an even stronger relationship between the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department and the community.

The Families of Erling Hutton

BY MICHELLE OBERMUELLER, PREVENTION COORDINATOR INDIANHEAD COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY

When children are nurtured, they can grow up to be happy and healthy adults. But, when they lack an attachment to a caring adult, receive inconsistent nurturing, or experience harsh discipline, the consequences can affect their lifelong health, well-being and relationships with others. Child abuse, the act by a parent or caregiver that creates a risk of serious harm to a child, can occur anywhere and is not restricted to a particular race, income or location. Child abuse or neglect often takes place in the home at the hands of a person the child knows well – a parent, relative, babysitter or family friend. There are four major types of child maltreatment. Although any of the forms may be found separately, they often occur together. •Neglect- failure to provide for a child’s basic needs that may endanger the child’s physical health. •Physical abuse- physical injury purposely inflicted on a child. •Emotional abuse- a pattern of behavior that harms children’s emotional development, their spirit and self-concept, and makes them feel unloved and worthless. •Sexual abuse includes sexual intercourse, exploitation, and any sexual contact, touching or non-touching, with a child. Child abuse in Wisconsin also includes cases where an unborn child is endangered due to the mother’s “habitual lack of self-control in the use of alcohol beverages, controlled substances or controlled substance analogs, exhibited to a severe degree.” Unborn child abuse includes serious physical harm to the unborn child or the risk of serious physical harm to the child when born, as a result of the mother’s substance abuse. Furthermore, the manufacturing of methamphetamine is also recognized as a form of child abuse or neglect when a child is physically present during the manufacture or it occurs on the premises of a child’s home. Caring for a child is a tough but rewarding job. We all have a stake in ensuring caregivers have access to the resources and support they need to be successful. Entire communities play a role in helping families raise safe, healthy and productive children. Some things you can do include: help a family under stress (offer to babysit, help with errands), be an active community member, keep your neighborhood safe (start a Neighborhood Watch), and learn how to recognize and report signs of child abuse and neglect. Safe, stable and nurturing relationships are paramount to healthy child development and preventing child maltreatment.

12 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Yes, it’s that time again to feature Rollo, my best feline friend. It’s hard to believe that this fellow has been waiting patiently at the shelter since November 2016 for h his turn at adoption. Rollo h has watched many cats c come and go and wonders w why he has been overllooked. He is only eight y years old, which is really n not that old for a cat. Rollo gets a little tearye eyed (literally) on occassion, so maybe that was c cause for some concern. I can only tell you how I Rollo came upon this wonderful cat, what a true gentleman he is and why people should be lining up to adopt him. Rollo showed up at my place early last summer. He was extremely timid, but his hunger overtook his shyness so he would venture up to my other rescue cat’s feeding dish – careful not to get too close to us. It was a slow process, but little by little Rollo began to trust us. Unbeknownst to us, all we had to do to coax him over was offer a dish of Fancy Feast. Because he was so enjoying his Fancy Feast, he ignored that fact that we were gently petting him while he chowed down. Once he felt the human touch, things progressed very quickly. He went from letting us scratch his head while he was eating to him circling us and rubbing up against us, to climbing in our laps and to finally allowing us to pick him up and put him in a carrier. I was very surprised when I brought him to the vet to get him neutered that he was approximately eight years old. What should have been a simple neuter turned into a surgical hide and seek procedure, and I won’t get more detailed than that. Rollo had some bad teeth that had to be pulled and the vet thought that might be the cause of his eye issue. Lastly, he ended up with an unnecessary ear notch due to the fact that most of the cats I brought in to be fixed were from a catch-and-release program I ran. Rollo was part of this program, but because I grew so fond of him and he was such a nice cat that had a hard prior life, I wanted to give him a chance at adoption. I fostered Rollo until I felt he was ready to go to the shelter, then waited for an available cat condo. While at my house, he was a gentle, well-behaved, happy boy. Rollo spent most of the time in my porch, where I house the cats I foster. In the evenings, I would bring him in to join me on the couch to watch TV. Rollo met both my cats and my little dog and didn’t seem bothered in the least. He is a very passive guy and a lover, not a fighter. Therefore, I believe he would be okay with other cats and dogs – as long as the other cats and dogs would be okay with him. Every time I visit Rollo, I give him some Fancy Feast as a treat. I’m confident that he remembers me as the person who saved him (or the Fancy Feast lady) and he shows me his gratitude with his excitement to see me. (Well, as excited as a cat can really get, I guess.) If you or someone you know is interested in an addition to your/their family, please consider Rollo. He really needs to find a home, and you can thank me later for the recommendation!

Doubled CWD testing ﬁnds no local CWD BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

MADISON — In 2016, no tested deer in the Northern Forest Zone were found to have Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), says the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). With encouragement from the DNR, hunters nearly doubled the number of deer heads submitted in 2016 over 2015 to more than 6,000. There were 447 positive detections, primarily in southern Wisconsin. The number of deer sampled, analyzed and determined positive for CWD by each management zone is as follows: Northern Forest Zone: which includes northwestern Wisconsin, 578 sampled, 0 positive; Central Farmland Zone: 1,230 sampled, 1 positive; Central Forest Zone: 533 sampled, 4 positives; Southern Farmland Zone: 3,708 sampled, 442 positives. In 2016, focus was placed upon deer population segments within locations deemed most likely to harbor the disease as well as other surveillance areas of interest. The 2016 CWD sampling period ended April 1, 2017. Disease prevalence is calculated for each individual surveillance area within sampling zones – for this reason, prevalence is not calculated on a statewide level. Prevalence trends are estimated for a number of study areas in southern Wisconsin - this information is available at dnr.wi.gov, keyword “CWD.” The department has monitored trends in chronic wasting disease distribution and prevalence within Wisconsin since its discovery in 2002. To date, nearly 200,000 deer have been sampled for CWD in Wisconsin.

WILD SIDE ‘Clean Boats Clean Waters’ Workshop SPOONER—Property owners in Burnett and Washburn counties are invited to learn more about Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) in our lakes at a free April 15 “Clean Boats Clean Waters” workshop. Sponsored by the Washburn County Land and Water Conservation Department, this program helps train citizens to be watercraft inspectors by educating boaters and anglers about aquatic invasive species (AIS) such as Eurasian water-milfoil and zebra mussels at local boat landings. Participants will receive hands-on training of invasive species identification. Instructions on how to organize a volunteer inspection program will also be discussed. The training is from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, April 15, at Spooner DNR (810 West Maple Street, Spooner 54801). To register, please contact the Burnett County Land & Water Conservation Department at 715-349-2186, or send an email to Ann Lane at alane@burnettcounty.org or Lisa Burns at lburns@ co.washburn.wi.us.

“SERVING YOUR AREA”

• Reliable • Professional • Insured • Free Estimates

DNR staff continue to work to make testing easier for hunters through the use of self-serve kiosks and enhanced communication and outreach efforts in 2016. Kiosks provide a 24/7 drop-off option for hunters to help enhance sampling numbers, provide for ease of use, and increase options in the world of electronic registration. Overall feedback from hunters during the 2016 deer season reflected an appreciation for the kiosk option. “We are exploring ways to make sampling easy for hunters with the implementation of electronic registration and will work closely with them to make it even more convenient in years to come,” said DNR Wildlife Health Section Chief Tami Ryan. “Once again, hunter cooperation has been outstanding. On behalf of our whole department, I want to thank hunters for their continued role in providing samples and helping us monitor this disease within Wisconsin.” With more samples collected in 2016, the turnaround time for hunters receiving test results also improved. The average statewide turnaround time during the 2016 deer season for test results was just over nine days (weekends included), compared to just under 14 days in 2015. The department will continue efforts to lower the turnaround time by becoming more efficient with cost and time. For 2016 sampling and prevalence data and more information regarding chronic wasting disease, search keyword “CWD.”

Don’t drink the wine! Grantsburg performs ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ GRANTSBURG— Grantsburg High School theater group put on four dazzling performances of the old-time favorite Arsenic and Old Lace, written in 1939 by playwright Joseph Kesselring. The set – designed and decorated by Director Linda Benge and constructed by Jeff Evenson – was convincing of the 1939 Brooklyn living room in which it is classically set; the home of the Brewsters. The cast, ranging from freshman to seniors, was humorous,

well-practiced and timely. Senior Kathryn Curtin (Abby Brewster) and freshman Abby Alderman (Martha Brewster) offered the audience impressive portrayals of darling, comic and slightly bemused elderly women. Junior Sven Johnson (Mortimer Brewster) and junior Everett Wincek (Johnathon Brewster) fed off each other as naturally as two very quarrelsome brothers. The cast as a whole put on a quality show. Sean Devlin, Sentinel.

Webster boys take Spooner Invitational BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SPOONER—“Our hurdlers sure shined tonight,” exclaimed Webster track Coach Roy Ward. “It is always so mesmerizing to watch a hurdler like Dustin (Kern). He seemed to hit all the 300 meter hurdles in the stride.” “Spooner was a great meet for us,” remarked Grantsburg coach Brad Nelson. “We’re absolutely thrilled to be outside and competing this early in the season without snow or rain. “At this stage of the season, we are doing some experimenting with our athletes to find their strengths, so we may not score as many points as we expect to down the road. “But, we have several new athletes who are still learning their events and we are trying to work the kinks out of relays.” The Spooner Invitational had the Webster boys taking first among 12 schools with Grantsburg coming in fifth. Hayward was first in the girls meet with Grantsburg placing fourth and Webster seventh. “He looked strong and won with an unofficial time of :43.4,” related Web-

heat easily. “I also liked seeing Hailey (Hollis) work hard tonight. She is a fighter. It is always fun to see an athlete chase down their competitors. She ran a nice split in the 4x800.” According to Coach Nelson, “We had a couple solid first place finishes with Hallie Jensen in the 3200m run and John Chenal in shot put. We had several second and third place finishes as well. “Our team continues to grow and we currently have 50 athletes, so we now have a lot of potential to draw from.

Tigers strong in wins over Cameron, Cumberland BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

CA M E RON/ W E B S T E R—T he Webster Tiger baseball team came back from a difficult start at the Mauston Invitational to put together two wins, a 10-0 shutout over Cameron on Tuesday and a 12-2 victory at home over visiting Cumberland on Thursday. “We put together a complete game last night with very good pitching, defense and hitting,” said Tiger Coach Jarrod Washburn following the game on Tuesday. “Jordy Larson did a great job on the mound, really setting the tone by pounding the strike zone right from the start. In my opinion, he threw the best game of his high school career that hopefully is a sign of a great year to come for him. “Hunter Gustafson led us offensively going four for four with a couple doubles and RBIs. Trevor Gustafson also swung the bat well getting two hits which were also both doubles. Jack Washburn hit well too, leading the team with three RBIs.” Larson pitched five innings, gave up a hit, walked four and struck out 10. Brad Sigfrids finished in relief. “I’m proud of how our guys

bounced back and played a great game after a tough weekend.” TIGERS TAKE CARE OF BEAVERS On Thursday night, the Cumberland Beavers came to Webster but went home with a 12-2 loss on their record. Trevor Gustafson pitched for Webster, giving up five hits, walking three and striking out three in three innings. Jack Washburn threw the remaining innings, allowing no hits, no runs, walking three and

striking out five. The Tigers got on the board first in the second inning on a Hunter Gustafson home run. Brad Sigfrids got on via an error, stole second and scored on a double by Trenton Wols. Two batters later on a ground out, Wols came across the plate. Cumberland got their only runs of the game in their half of the third, the first on a home run and then by a walk and two singles. Webster came back with three runs in the bottom of the third on a double by Jack Washburn, Hunter Gustafson getting on via an error and a walk to Brad Sigfrids. Jordan Larson and Matt Buffington got RBIs, getting the three aforementioned players home. The Tigers added two in the fourth, three in the fifth and the game winner in the sixth. Washburn was three for four with an RBI. Trenton Wals was two for three with an RBI. Though Buffington went hitless, he still had three RBIs. Conference play begins for the Tigers next week with Luck/Frederic coming to Webster on Monday and Clayton/Turtle Lake on Thursday. On Tuesday, the Tigers go to Ladysmith for a non-conference matchup.

Marathon game gives Dragons a win BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—It took nine long innings, but the Siren Dragons fought long and hard and took a well-deserved 17-16 win over the visiting Northwood Evergreens in the Dragons’ season and home opener last Tuesday at the Siren Ball Park. “It was a long time coming,” said Assistant Coach Brian Webster who filled in for Head Coach Jon Ruud. “We did a lot of good things, but we learned we have some other things to work on. Some of our players have been in ball for just a little while.” Northwood got single runs in the first and second innings. The Dragons put four on the board in their half of the second. Tyler Anton, Tanner Buck, Breck Mangen and Bailey Mangen all crossed the plate via singles, a Northwood error and a double by Jordan Webster. The Evergreens put three more onto their score in the third with Siren adding two of their own. Logan

Meagher walked, Buck and Breck Mangen both singled to account for the runs. Northwood added two in the fourth and the Dragons, one, to make the score 7-7 after four innings of play. The ‘Greens put four more up in the fifth, but Siren added five. Three singles, two walks and two Evergreen errors gave the Dragons their five points. Each team put two up in the sixth and Northwood had one in the seventh and the score was knotted at 14. The eighth inning went scoreless. Northwood put two on the board in the top of the ninth on two singles, a ground out, a hit batsman and an error. Thus, the Dragons came to the bottom of the ninth trailing by two. Max Lindquist was issued a base on balls as was Tyler Anton. An Evergreen pitching change took place and Logan Meagher walked to load the bases. Tanner Buck singled home two runs, moving the winning

run to third. Breck Mangen singled home the winning run. Ben Lemieux, Lukas Hunter, Jordan Webster and Bailey Mangen all pitched for the Dragons. They combined for 11 strikeouts. Bailey Mangen and Jordan Webster were both three for four at the plate. Tyler Anton was three for five. DRAGONS FALL TO SAINTS On Thursday, the Dragons hosted the St. Croix Falls Saints and were on the short end of a 10-3 score. Ben Lemieux batted three for four, including a double. Brady Mangen was two for four with a double. Tanner Buck went two for three. Lemieux and Bailey Mangen were on the mound for the Dragons, allowing 17 hits, three walks and getting four strike outs. After visiting Drummond on Tuesday, the Dragons travel to Unity on Thursday and host Luck/Frederic next Tuesday.

Hurricanes stronger than Storm BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The game between the Webster/Siren Storm and the Hayward Hurricanes was initially close, but then the Hurricanes turned on the heat and went on to a 29-2 win over the Storm last Thursday. “I felt the game started out pretty well considering it was our first

game. After one inning the score was 4-1 Hayward,” said Head Coach Tina Karsten. “After four innings the score was 12-2 Hayward, so I thought I would try some different things out since it was our first game and it was non-conference. It is hard to know how things are going to mesh when you practice with and against each other everyday since the beginning

of the season. “The game was a great learning experience. We figured out some things that worked and we figured out some things that we still need to work on.” Riley Anderson was one for two and Megan Freymiller was one for three, getting a triple. After going to Ladysmith on Tuesday, the Storm go to Unity on Thursday and host Frederic/Luck next

Hawks stiﬂe Pirates BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—“Tonight, the Blackhawks looked good in every aspect and we did not,” related Pirate assistant Coach Steve Johnson following an 11-0 defeat to the Baldwin-Woodville Blackhawks on Thursday night. “When teams look to improve, it starts with somebody showing you that you need practice. In this early season, we need practice.”

GOOB COY | SENTINEL

Kenna Johnson lays down a bunt for the Pirates.

BW got five runs in their half of the second inning. Four singles and three walks got the Blackhawks their tallies. The Pirates held the ‘Hawks in the third, but BW put four more on the board in the fourth and two in the fifth. Grantsburg’s only hits came from Rachel Glover in the second inning and Jordyn McKenzie in the fourth. “It is easy when everything goes your way. Now we will see the true character of this team.” After hosting Superior on Tuesday, the Pirates go to St. Croix Falls on Thursday, to Osceola next Monday and host Turtle Lake/Clayton next Tuesday.

We have spring-colored tablecloths, Easter eggs and umbrellas for April showers. We also have rubber boots for the rain we hope to get soon. Barb Geske, Diane Norman, Rose Miller and Nona Severson did the decorating this month. Some of our seniors used the ADRC van to go to Stillwater on a shopping trip. It sounds like they had a good time. The round trip costs each person $1. Call the ADRC to join a trip or suggest one. Call toll free 877-485-2372 or locally 715-349-2100.

I hope everyone is ready for the Easter Bunny and gets lots of Easter candy. The dime bingo players enjoyed the treats furnished by Bill. Ruth and Abby split the big pot. We always have room for more players at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. There was a four-way tie for winner of the pool games: Joanne, Harry, Pat and Ken. Seven players came for dominoes and Sharon was the winner. They play at 1 p.m. every Thursday. Come and join the fun. Friday was the last day of our Wii bowling until September. It was a fun day. Instead of the regular teams, it was gals against the guys. The gals won by 183 pins. It was a lot of fun for everyone.

We are going to have open Wii bowling at 10 a.m. on the third Friday of every month during the summer if anyone is interested. We will just make up teams each time. If you plan to bowl and stay for lunch, please call the center the day before and sign up for lunch so Nikki will know how many to plan for. Our next monthly meeting will be at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 18. Please plan to attend. We are still accepting clean, gently used items for our garage sale next month. No clothes, please. There will also be a bake sale the same days, May 5 - 6. More info to follow. Remember: “Over the Hill” only means you are much wiser for having climbed the hill. See you at the center.

WISCONSIN BRIEFS 4-YEAR-OLD SHOOTS SELF WITH MOTHER’S GUN; MOTHER ARRESTED MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee police say a fouryear-old boy accidentally shot himself with his mother’s gun over the weekend but is expected to live. Authorities say the mother left the handgun in a place that was accessible to the child, and the boy got ahold of it Sunday afternoon. He was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered to be life-threatening. The mother was arrested and the case turned over to the district attorney’s office for review. The boy and mother weren’t immediately identified.

SECOND SUAMICO TEEN ADMITS TO SETTING LIVE CHICKEN ON FIRE HUDSON (AP) — A second Suamico teenager has pleaded guilty to setting a live chicken on fire last year. WLUK-TV reports that 17-year-old Hayden Lammers entered his plea in adult court Monday to a misdemeanor animal mistreatment charge. His record will be cleared if he fulfills conditions including performing 30 hours of community service at an animal shelter. The deal is similar to one reached last month by 17-year-old co-defendant Ryan McElmurry. The chicken fire incident was recorded and posted to social media, leading to the charges.

GHS board approves auditorium makeover BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG — The Grantsburg High School auditorium will be getting a makeover as the school board has approved bids from several area companies to begin work in the coming months. Included in the transformation will be: new carpet, ceiling tiles, cement floor and LED lighting. Concrete Arts Company will replace the concrete flooring. GHS has chosen Concrete Arts – the mid-bid – due to a strong recommendation from Osceola High School which has recently employed this company for work on its campus. The task of the cement project will cost approximately $10,700. The board expressed that all of this work will be a “nice face lift, something to be proud of.” A motion to approve a bid for lighting replacement in the middle school was approved, along with the replacement of the Nelson storage buildings. Billy Beesley, principal and executive director of the iForward school, was present to ask for approval of the school’s calendar for the 2017-8 school year. The iForward calendar traditionally has no spring break in order for students to finish by the first of June. iForward school currently has 12 Grantsburg locals enrolled full-time in its online school. They also cater to approximately 30 Grantsburg High school students that wish to pursue classes available only through iForward and Youth Options. Further information regarding the benefits of iForward and Youth Options coming soon. Upcoming events: • April 14-17 – No school Good Friday or Monday for Easter Break • April 17 – Teacher Inservice Day – no school for students • April 20 – WASB New School Board Member meeting at Spooner HS Library • May 17 – WASB Spring Academy Workshop at CESA 11 • May 21 – GHS graduation

Outdoor writer Emily Stone to speak April 20 in Webster WEBSTER—Come explore all four wonderful seasons in the northwoods with a knowledgeable guide and author Emily Stone. Stone is the Naturalist/Education Director at the Cable Natural History Museum and writes a weekly ‘Natural Connections’ column published regularly in The Sentinel. At the heart of her talk is Emily’s passion for sharing her discoveries with both kids and adults. Join her on a hike, paddle or ski and you’ll soon be captivated by her animated style and knack for turning any old thing into a shining bit of stardust. In stories about the smell of rain, cheating ants, photosynthesizing salamanders and more, she delves into the science behind our northwoods neighbors, and then emerges with a better understanding of their beauty. Stone’s childhood spent as a “mud and water daughter” in northeast Iowa led to a degree in outdoor education from Northland College and a Field Naturalist Masters from the University of Vermont.

A spiritual lottery winner They say confession is good for the soul. If that is true my soul is now receiving a good thing. I confess that I have occasionally purchased lottery tickets. However, I have been making some changes in my lifestyle and I no longer feel the need to buy these tickets. The reason is, I have decided that I have in fact won the lottery already. This is not the state-sponsored lottery but the lottery of life. The nice thing about this win is that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to buy a ticket. I did not put forth the effort required to deserve such riches. I Tom Cook did not choose the possibility. Unlike most Associate Pastor: Danbury, of the rest of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people, I was fortuGrace, Siren & Lewis Memorial nate enough to be born in the U.S.A., I was United Methodist Churches born into a home of people who cared for me,

I am blessed with many great friends, for 55 years I was married to a beautiful woman who loved me as I loved her, I have always loved to work, I never have to wonder where my next meal is coming from, and that is only to name a few of the wonderful parts of my jackpot. Recently, at age 82, I have had to change my thinking patterns. It was a matter of personal decision. I have decided that I do not know anything. Many people already knew that about me and now I know it, too. At first I was alarmed about this, but then I discovered one really great thingâ&#x20AC;Ś. I no longer know what is wrong in my life. Instead, I have chosen to believe that God loves me just like I am and wants me to be a part of His

loving the world. That is the really great part of my lottery win. Who could have a better life? They say when people find out you have won the lottery, everyone wants to get some of your riches. Here is the best news ever: If you are reading this you can be a winner, too. God loves you and wants you to be a part of His work of loving others. It is great work and though the side effects are sometimes difficult, our life is filled with more joy than we can imagine. Of course, as long as we have all the answers we cannot trust God for them, but when we decide to trust God who alone has the answers and is continually giving us clues (if we are listening), we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to live stressed and clueless.

Siren Board urges cleanup at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;messy propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Citing ongoing problems with some residents who have yards full of personal property and who are the source of frequent complaints from other residents, the Siren Village Board directed Police Chief Chris Sybers to make personal visits to some local residents to urge them to â&#x20AC;&#x153;remove or hide their junk.â&#x20AC;? Of course, what looks like junk to a passerby may be valuable property to the resident, and therein lies the problem. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the village has ordinances

that spell out how much â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuffâ&#x20AC;? one can store outdoors in the village, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars, car parts or other miscellaneous belongings. To encourage the violators to clean up, the village will send emissaries in the form of village board members along with the chief to tactfully approach the offenders and urge a thorough spring cleanup. The village board said it would again offer property in the village industrial park at a very reasonable rate if the offenders will move their excess property there and store it in a facility they erect. That approach has been tried before, they concede, but they may sweeten the

offer this time and also increase the enforcement threat of fines. Although the idea of tall fences around village properties are the last resort, the board members agreed they might accept that proposal from the problem homeowners, provided they first remove the prohibited items from their yards. In other actions, the board: - Approved a $1,200 annual contract for five years with Starwire Technologies of Siren to install up to five antennas on the Siren village water tower, as long as Starwire follows a very specific set of instructions on where and how to install its antennas, support systems and wiring so as not to interfere with the water tower ladder, railings and walkways. The board expressed concern that the antenna installment be done neatly to avoid a â&#x20AC;&#x153;porcupine lookâ&#x20AC;? on top of the

water tower. Joe Cremin and Sarah McLain of Starwire attended the meeting and stressed their goal of completing a safe and orderly installation. Starwire negotiated to install as many as five additional antennas on an as-needed basis with prior approval from the village board and an additional annual $240 payment per antenna. - Heard a report from Police Chief Chris Sybers about the high number of new and ongoing criminal cases in the village, numbering 69 cases in March, 54 cases in February and 17 in January. The caseload is much larger than usual in late winter months, fueled partly by drug cases. It is causing Sybers and his department staff a much heavier workload and long hours on the job. Sybers said he hopes the caseload will subside soon so that the staff can get some comp time.

WISCONSIN BRIEFS More than 60 percent of school referendums approved MADISON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 60 percent of school referendums increasing local school spending by $700 million have been approved. Voters approved 40 of 65 school referendums in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Wednesday that nearly $465 million is for new debt for building projects and $235 million for operating expenses. School officials in the 25 districts

where referendums failed say they will be forced to cut programming, lay off staff and eliminate or defer building maintenance and improvements. Dale Knapp is research director for the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance. He says voters may have have second thoughts about approving referendums given Gov. Scott Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and state Superintendent Tony Eversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts to seek additional state funding for schools. Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget would increase K-12 school funding by $649 million.
