Roundabout celebrates ﬁrst year BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Burnett County residents and visiting motorists alike are celebrating the oneyear anniversary of the roundabout intersection at the corner of Hwy. 35 North and Hwy. 70. But depending on who you talk to, perhaps “celebrate” is the wrong word. “How the intersection is signed has been the biggest issue we hear about —motorists are not sure where they should be for where they want to go,” Tammy Chell, member of the county’s traffic safety committee, pointed out. To help motorists solve that dilemma, the Department of Transportation (DOT) installed directional signs for northbound traffic with a round dot representing the roundabout and arrows depicting how traffic from the south should flow to Spooner (east on Hwy. 70) or Superior (north on Hwy. 35). The signs exist for westbound and southbound traffic as well. “We asked the DOT to add Webster and Danbury to that Superior sign because motorists from outside the area are not sure where those towns are. They see Superior and know they don’t want to go that far and end up going the wrong way because they are unsure of where SEE ROUNDABOUT, PAGE 11

Their own class reunion BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—So what do Elwyn Bly, Ethel Daniels, Marian Barber-Johnson, LaVonne Collins, Dorothy Hunter and Lola Louden have in common? Besides all being 89 years old and all being widowed, they were classmates from Webster High School — Class of 1945. Like all high school graduates, they went their separate ways after graduation, had careers, got married, had families, but eventually found their way home to Burnett County.

“I couldn’t wait to get away,” Dorothy recalled. The rest agreed, but here they are back in Burnett. “I think we were all anxious to come ‘home,’” Marian stated. They do partake in the big official reunions the school endorses, like the 35th, the 50th, and so on, but the group takes that to the next level — meeting monthly for lunch. “It’s a chance to get out of the house,” Elwyn explains. “Well, we do have to eat,” Ethel smiled.

Burnett County Towns apply for federal aid BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—With 87.5 percent of documented reconstruction costs of damaged roads from the July 11-12 rain event eligible for reimbursement, it was a packed house during last week’s applicant’s briefing. “I was really impressed with the turnout,” Burnett County Emergency Management Director Rhonda Reynolds said following the meeting. “Most, if not all, of the impacted jurisdictions were represented.” In addition to those elected officials, there were representatives from Wisconsin Emergency Management, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Hazard Mitigation Grant program and the state DNR Environmental and Historic Preservation project. “It was basically an overview of the entire process and Tuesday included the impacted towns applying for federal public assistance,” Reynolds continued. Those towns have been charged with coming up with damage estimates before the federal aid kickoff meeting, which should take place before the end of the month. “That meeting will provide an opportunity for town officials to sit with federal aid project officers to discuss the damages in their towns,” Reynolds explained. “These officials really know their stuff.” Jurisdictions have 60 days to identify damages to their infrastructure and that clock begins with the kickoff meeting.

According to Reynolds, reimbursement-eligible costs include personnel and materials costs to repair damaged roads. “The federal aid officials who are here for the kickoff meeting will be the ones to determine final eligibility,” she pointed out. All told, damages in Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Florence, Iron, Sawyer and Washburn coun-

ties, plus the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa amounted to roughly $30 million. “Obviously, those other counties took more of the brunt of the storm because the damage here in Burnett is estimated at about $350,000 — washed out culverts and other road damage,” Reynolds reported. She expects those repairs will be completed before frozen ground.

Children’s author at Webster Library WEBSTER—Juliana Howard and her red ukulele will entertain children of all ages when she brings her storytelling and musical skills to Children’s Storytime at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31 at Larsen Family Public Library. Howard will read from her children’s book, Catie the Copycat. Written by Howard and illustrated by her granddaughter, Sophia Heymans, the book tells the story of a child’s journey to find herself. Grandfather and retired United Methodist Minister Richard Hagenston offered praise for the book. “This book is superb. Since many children lack the confidence to believe in themselves, Catie the Copycat meets a real need. “Its beautiful illustrations invite children to read it. Its message makes it a great read-aloud book for parents and teachers. I’m a grandfather, and the message even strikes home for me, so it’s not for children only.” Howard’s interactive presentation is lively, character-building and fun. It includes a dramatic reading of the book, woven together with original songs that support the themes of self-worth and trust in one’s inner wisdom. Come sing and move along with Juliana and her red ukulele. Juliana makes her home in Voyager Village. She is a former teacher, workshop presenter, retreat facilitator and composer. Please join in for a fun-filled morning.

Workshop for caregivers GRANTSBURG—Do you help or care for an aging or disabled loved one or friend? Or, perhaps your loved one, for whom you once provided care, has moved into an assisted living facility or nursing home. You still visit them, help them make health care decisions and ensure all areas of their health and wellbeing are addressed. You are not alone. Caregiver stress and burnout is real, and support is available! Join “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” starting in September in Grantsburg. The workshop is sponsored by Aging and Dis-

ability Resource Center (ADRC) of Northwest Wisconsin. “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” is a sixweek, evidence-based educational workshop series for unpaid caregivers who care for an aging or disabled friend or family member. Family caregivers come in all forms, from the son that checks in on Mom and Dad once a week, to the spouse providing full-time, direct care for her husband with Alzheimer’s. This workshop gives caregivers a chance to learn and develop the skills needed to balance life with this added role of caregiver. The interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorming included in each session will help participants put the “tools” they learn into action in their lives. The classes are from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, beginning September 22 at the Grantsburg Public Library. For more information or to register, contact Carrie Myers at ADRC of NW WI at 877- 485-2372.

‘My Name is Rumpelstiltskin’ in rehearsal ST. CROIX FALLS—Although Festival Theatre’s summer repertory season closed last weekend, rehearsals have already begun for the September Youth and Family Series production of “My Name is Rumpelstiltskin,” adapted by Vera Morris. Fourteen youth actors have been cast in the production and are working alongside guest artists Shelly Whitehead and Rachel Kuhnle. Whitehead is directing the production after appearing in Clue, The Musical and Steel Magnolias this summer. Rachel Kuhnle is returning to Festival to play the Miller’s Widow in Rumpelstiltskin after performing last summer in A Streetcar Named Desire and Little Shop of Horrors. This clever adaptation of the classic Brothers Grimm tale follows Rumpelstiltskin as Griselda, a 400-year-old witch, tells him he must possess a child of royal birth to become the most powerful force in the kingdom. Don’t miss out on this great production at the Franklin Square Black Box opening at 7:30 p.m. Friday, September 9. The box office can be reached online at FestivalTheatre.org or by calling (715) 483-3387.

On trial “Burn ‘em at the stake!” Oh, wait a minute, that rhetoric is not politically correct, plus I don’t believe they burn people at stakes anymore, although some alleged criminals make me wonder whether that practice should be revived. But that kind of sentiment wouldn’t sit well with a lot of folks in Burnett County, or maybe it would. It seems that when police have a decent case against a suspect, they turn their case over to the county’s district attorney who, in turn, reviews said documents. If justifed, he issues arrest warrants for the person or people involved. Once charged, I believe most Seems to people think of them as guilty and want them banished to prisMe on and would just as soon never about them again. Todd Beckmann hear Therein lies the “Burn ‘em at the stake” mentality. One of my duties is to follow court cases. After having been on vacation, one of my stops last week was at the courthouse to see where we stood on four or five cases I believe people will want to hear about. Three of the five I was interested in had their initial appearances (story in last week’s edition). Two cases were granted a continuance. For the most part, these cases are now scheduled on the court docket for dates in September and October. It works for me because, and I realize I’m being selfish here, it gives me a little breathing room. But, for the guys who had their necks slashed back in early July, they’ll have to wait until at least October to get some justice. That wait time stirs up more anger amongst the victims. “I’m the victim here yet the (alleged) criminal gets every break when it comes to court activity,” I hear again and again when I sit in on a court case. Time after time, it seems the alleged criminal uses all the delay tactics he/she is afforded by the law to delay the court process. I understand that anger, simply because I have witnessed more than my share of courtroom drama. But there’s a little thing called the Constitution — the whole “presumed innocent until proven guilty” spiel. I’ll admit, I’m probably more biased against these alleged criminals than a reporter ought to be, but when you see the same names on the police blotter and in court disposition records week after week, month after month and year after year, you tend to get a little jaded. When he, she or they finally get hauled before the judge for some serious matter, I find it tough not to lean toward the prosecutor’s side of things. From a philosophical point-of-view, the fact that I usually sit behind the D.A. probably speaks volumes of my leanings. Even reviewing what I’ve written so far, I see that people could make the case of my being pro-prosecution. But, knowing that makes me even more diligent in my court writing.

A less than stellar performance The Summer Olympics have ended with the United States winning the medal count and numerous individual performances providing memories that will last for a long time. But, there was an incident that sullied our nation’s reputation and left a bad taste in my mouth. In the early hours of Aug. 14, Ryan Lochte and From the three other memPublisher’s bers of the swimming team were Desk returning to the Tom Stangl Olympic Village following a night on the town in Rio. News reports on Sunday afternoon told a story of how the athletes were “robbed at gunpoint” on their way home. Lochte told NBC News the following about the encounter: “We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing, just a police badge and they pulled us over. They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground. They got down on the ground. I refused, I was like, ‘We didn’t do anything wrong, so I’m not getting down on the ground.’

“And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said: ‘Get down,’ and I put my hands up, I was like ‘Whatever.’ He took our money, he took my wallet. He left my cell phone, he left my credentials.” The swimmers did not report the incident to police or to the USOC, and officers in Rio only got involved after seeing it reported on TV. Naturally, the police in Rio were interested in solving the case. The nation’s reputation was already damaged by the numerous controversies centered around the games — embezzlement and misuse of public funds, squalor and poverty in Rio, water that couldn’t be used for drinking and sometimes unfit for competing in — you name it, it probably was an issue for this Olympics. So, the robbery of a high profile American athlete could simply not be allowed to go unpunished. Even third world nations have pride, after all. As the investigation continued last week, the police were having trouble finding the parties involved and the story told by the athletes began to fall apart. Lochte left for home shortly before a Brazilian judge ordered the passports seized from all the Americans involved in the incident. After a security video of the swimmers stopping at a gas sta-

tion surfaced, the story changed. It seems that the taxi stopped at the gas station so the swimmers could use the bathroom, breaking one of the toilet doors. The gas station attendants asked the Americans to pay for the damage, according to the police, and a verbal dispute ensued. The athletes then reportedly paid the staff and left before police arrived. So now we have the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) apologizing for the behavior of its athletes and police considering charges of falsely reporting a crime and destruction of property. The charges each can carry a fine or up to six months in jail. I have always thought of Lochte as an idiot. Four years ago, he had a short-lived reality TV show that consisted of mostly partying. He is a disgrace to our nation, the sport of swimming and the Olympic ideal and spirit. Perhaps it would do him good to do some time in a jail in Rio. As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

More for millionaires, less for our schools A memo from the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau confirms that the three recent Republican budgets have funneled hundreds of millions more to millionaires and unaccountable voucher schools. At the same time, more than 75 percent of the school districts in the state have seen cuts in their general aid. The breakdown by school district shows that less than a quarter of districts have seen an increase in general aid, the most effective Janet tool for supporting public schools, while directly reducing the burden Bewley on local property taxpayers. Wisconsin Overall, general aid statewide fell 4.3 percent by the 2015-16 school Senator year compared to 2010-11, leaving property taxpayers to make up the difference. My Republican colleagues’ budget priorities are out of whack. They gave $209 million to a wealthy few, claiming it would spur the economy. The truth is that they created fewer jobs in the three years after enacting that tax giveaway than we did in the three years before. Unaccountable voucher school operators were rewarded with over $200 million more, right out of taxpayer pockets. At the same time, our classrooms have been cut by $197 million. Data from the Department of Public Instruction shows that Wisconsin has lost 2,867 public school teachers and seen a 12.7 percent decrease in local experience in our student’s classrooms over the same period. The 25th Senate District alone, with 36 of 40 school districts getting less general aid back under the Walker Administration, has lost 193 teachers. It’s time to stop favoring millionaires and voucher operators. It’s time we starting taking care of our public school students and looking out for middle class property taxpayers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Who does Quinn really represent?

Actions speak loudly

To the Editor: I have personally written to Rep. Quinn asking him to stand up to Governor Walker and protect our right to clean water. Silence. When he was first elected, I had contacted Quinn a few times. He either responded incorrectly claiming I was not his constituent or he simply ignored my concerns. Looking at his Facebook page leads me to believe he has plenty of time to make up stuff about his opponent. I don’t follow strict party lines, and I don’t agree with any candidate 100 percent, but I do my research on what and for whom I’m voting before I step into that booth. I can honestly say I have never been so disrespected and disregarded as a constituent as I have been by Rep. Quinn. I’m wondering if he is banking on his gerrymandered district and thousands of out-of-district dollars to keep him safely in his job. Ask yourself: Do you support public tax dollars going to unaccountable private schools that won’t even accept children that they don’t see as profitable? Quinn does. Do you support large industry, often not Wisconsin companies, controlling our access to clean water? Quinn does. Do you support anti-worker policies that continue to help the wealthy and to hurt our hard-working friends, family and neighbors by suppressing rights to a livable wage and affordable healthcare? Quinn does. Do you share Quinn’s blind faith that shoveling hundreds of millions in tax breaks, grants and other goodies into the pockets of well-connected millionaires will somehow benefit the average Wisconsinite more than, say, investing that money in education or roads? I have spoken with Joe Huftel and I urge everyone to listen to what he has to say about how northwest Wisconsin could be so much stronger with a representative who actually cares about how we are impacted by the policies that come out of Madison. This is not about party politics or “family values.” This is about competent policies for all of us. Carol Johnson Deer Park Editor’s note: Quinn is a candidate in Assembly District 75, which includes the Town of Roosevelt in Burnett County.

To the Editor: In two recent letters to the local newspapers, a big supporter of Adam Jarchow provided the readers with 10 reasons why they should re-elect Adam Jarchow. What was interesting to me was not what was included in that first list – it had all the “hot button” issues like guns, abortion and wolves – but what was left out? It was obvious that this supporter chose to leave out three of the most important issues in the minds of us voters for this election: water quality, local government control and public school funding. So where does Rep. Jarchow stand on these three issues? Well, actions speak very loud words. Jarchow co-supported a bill that would have made it easier for companies to takeover municipal water systems, regardless of the impact on the water table. Further, he was the main author of a bill that would have allowed a property owner to dredge up to 30 cubic yards of lake bed every year without a permit. On local control, Rep. Jarchow voted for 63 of 64 measures that either placed restrictions on the rights of local government or imposed new unfunded mandates. Since the Republicans took control of state government in 2010, there have been 128 such measures adopted. As for school funding, despite Rep. Jarchow’s insistence that he wants to “invest in education,” our public schools continue to lose ground, while private schools enjoy ever-increasing amounts of taxpayer money. Last year’s average state aid payments to our public schools remained the same as the year before, while this year they’ll go up 0.8 percent, according to the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance. The Department of Public Instruction’s website provides documentation that public schools in the 28th Assembly District have lost a combined $16.3 million since Governor Walker took office. That’s a hole that will take many years to get out of. In the meantime, look for Republicans to promote more spending for private schools while pressuring smaller public schools to consolidate. My sense is Adam Jarchow does not embrace the importance of public education, the environment or local government having much control. We have not been able to depend on Jarchow to support the majority of his constituent’s values and, in reality, we would not see his actions change. Loreen J. Clayton-Morrell St. Croix Falls

Webster ready to leap into new school year BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—Banking on the success of last year’s inaugural session, the Webster School Board at its monthly meeting last week approved Tiger Leap Day on Wednesday, Aug. 31. “Just like we did last year, we’ll use the Leap Day as a stepping-off point for the school year,” Jim Erickson, superintendent, explained. “We had great success with it last year and we are looking forward to another good day this time around.” The Leap Day, the day before classes resume, is designed for students in grades K-9. “The elementary students will spend the day with their teacher and we’ll have a number of transition and team-building activities for our middle school students,” Erickson pointed out. “That day will be a transition to the high school day for our 9th graders — we’ll have our Link group working with the new students to tell them what to expect in high school plus they’ll get a

In other business: • The board is contemplating adding a sidewalk along Fairgrounds Road, between Park Ave. and the 5-12 building. “Our hope is to get the walkers and bike riders off the road with all the traffic,” Erickson said. So how will the district fund the project? Following the audit of the 201516 books, a $122,000 surplus was discovered and could be applied to the sidewalk project. Erickson is aware the funds may not cover the entire cost. “We may have to complete it in pieces,” he noted. • The district will host an open house again this year ahead of the new school year, but they are adding a twist. “More than one parent has asked if we could do both the elementary

and 5-12 building open houses on the same night instead of different nights,” Erickson remarked. “We’ll give it a try and hope for the best.” The single open house is slated for Monday, Aug. 29 from 4 to 8 p.m. Erickson said all students in grades 5-12 will be getting their new chromebooks during the open house. • The board approved the purchase of a new Bluebird school bus with the cost not to exceed $95,900. • In personnel moves, the board approved re-posting the food service director position. Even though the board hired Carrie Holter last month to serve as food service director, personal issues forced her to resign the job. The board also offered contracts to Nicole Fletcher, to serve as the middle school guidance counselor, Wendy Prow as the FACE teacher and Charissa Dorn as a Kindergarten teacher. The board also hired John Erickson and Leonard Huonder as bus drivers.

“It allows us to keep up with what’s going on,” Marion added. “We do settle all the world affairs,” Dorothy interjected with a laugh. “But mostly, we reminisce.” Marion agreed. “We didn’t realize it at the time, but we realize now how good ‘the good old days’ were,” she remarked. As you’d expect, some of the reminiscing revolves around times at their former school. “They didn’t having busing back then, so if you lived in the country and didn’t drive a car, you had to live in town during the school year or walk back and forth to school,” Elwyn said. “I actually stayed in what’s now known as ‘Emily’s Kitchen.’” And those were the days girls could not wear slacks to school. “It could be cold and there was always a lot of snow in the winter,” Marian pointed out. Elwyn agreed. “It could be 40 below,” she said. “We’d wear slacks under our dresses or skirts to get to school but then we had to take them off.” And there was no school cancellation, even if it was that cold. “They never called off school, because there were no buses to get us home,” Ethel chimed in. Because the country was embroiled in WWII, the school only featured five faculty — plus the janitor led the high school band. “That class never met very often,” Ethel remembered with a laugh. The group figures they have been meeting monthly since the 1990s. “I was having lunch with LaVonne one day and she said, ‘You know, we should all get together for lunch sometime,’” Marian offered. But with Elwyn and Ethel living in Siren, Marian, LaVonne and Lola living in Webster and Dorothy residing in Danbury, the logistics could easily have gotten in the way — but that wasn’t the case here. They meet on the third Tuesday of every month and take turns hosting the luncheon — sometimes it’s at Cafe Moon Glow in Webster, or the casino in Danbury or Adventures in Siren.

Alden completes drug court SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;It may have taken a little longer than most, but Andy Alden was the recipient of a Certificate of Completion and a Drug Court pin as he graduated the Burnett County Drug and Alcohol Court on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in the program for about a year and a half,â&#x20AC;? he said. Like a lot of his counterparts in the program, Alden chose the drug court program rather than being sentenced to prison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I chose to be in the program,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. He said the program was tough at first, but got easier the longer he was in it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The toughest part was making all the meetings when I was first in the program,â&#x20AC;? Alden continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, once I got on a schedule, it was easier.â&#x20AC;? He credits the drug court team for helping him complete the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were there for me and helped me when I needed help,â&#x20AC;? he observed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They helped a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Police confiscated 50 live cats from the residence in Monroe earlier this week. Authorities say when they executed a search warrant on Thursday, 35 kittens and six adult cats were found in a freezer. They also found a dead cat in the garage. WKOW-TV reports firefighters wore gas masks and oxygen tanks to enter the residence because of the smell. Police Chief Fred Kelley says one of the 50 cats taken Monday had to be euthanized because of its poor condition. In addition to the 50 live cats seized Monday, 42 dead cats were removed from the home Thursday.

Johnson: Milwaukee riots show ‘War on Poverty’ has failed MILWAUKEE (AP)—U.S. Sen Ron Johnson says recent violence in Milwaukee shows the federal government’s efforts to stem poverty have failed. During a luncheon appearance in downtown Milwaukee, Johnson, a Republican, said the violence that broke out after a fatal officer-involved shooting this past weekend shows an anger that has been building for decades. He said the violence shows that well-intentioned government programs to help the poor haven’t worked. He says people need to be honest with themselves and realize the “war on poverty’ has failed. Johnson says more government programs won’t help. He says the solution lies in faith-based community programs that can help people find jobs. Recent polls show Johnson trailing in his U.S. Senate race with Democratic challenger Russ Feingold. Johnson ousted Feingold from the Senate in 2010.

sin election laws. Municipal clerks must set early voting dates. By law, ballots have to be in the hands of clerks by Sept. 21, according to the Wisconsin Elections Commission. The Madison City Clerk’s office said early voting will begin Sept. 26, and Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Neil Albrecht told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he expects Milwaukee will follow a similar timeline. “The law had been whittled down so we’re working out the final details, but it will include multiple voting sites and weekend hours,’’ Albrecht said. Local elections officials will have a chance to set up voting stations at college campuses and other locations, rather than requiring people to come to the clerks’ offices to cast early ballots. Among the election laws struck down by Judge James Peterson in July are certain limits on absentee and early voting, which the judge found unfairly benefited Republicans. Before the judge’s ruling, early voting was scheduled to begin Oct. 24. Republican Gov. Scott Walker has twice signed laws limiting early voting in recent years. Walker said he was not focused on the early voting limits, but is more concerned with making sure the courts uphold the voter ID law.

UW regents approve request for $42.5M in new funding MADISON (AP)—The University of Wisconsin system’s governing body has approved a request for $42.5 million in new funding. The Wisconsin State Journal reports the regents on Thursday took the first step in what officials acknowledge will be a lengthy process that they hope will reverse years of declining state support. The request now goes to Gov. Scott Walker. The governor has indicated he plans to provide some new performance-based funding for the university system, but has otherwise told UW and most state agencies not to expect more money in the budget he’ll introduce next year. The Regents approved the budget on a voice vote. Tony Evers cast the lone vote against it, saying the request would restore just 17 percent of the $250 million cut from the system last summer.

The lawsuit alleges Krug’s office released more than 1,000 printed pages even though he asked for the material electronically so he could search it easily. Krug, a Nekoosa Republican, says he hasn’t seen the lawsuit, but insisted his office complied with the open records law. He said he thinks the lawsuit is politically motivated, since Lueders gave it to reporters first. Lueders says he only wants compliance with the law.

Wisconsin woman convicted of hiding boyfriend’s corpse ELLSWORTH (AP)—A Wisconsin woman has been convicted of hiding her boyfriend’s corpse, but the jury could not agree on whether she was guilty of homicide for killing him. Douglas Bailey’s remains were found in a box along a road in Hazard, Kentucky, in December. The 51-year-old trucker had been reported missing after he failed to show up for Thanksgiving in Peoria, Illinois. The Eau Claire Leader-Telegram reports the Pierce County jury found Rose Kuehni, of Prescott, guilty Thursday of hiding his corpse, but split on the second-degree homicide charge. The 45-year-old testified she acted in self-defense in the November shooting after a long history of abuse. She gave the boxed-up body to an acquaintance who allegedly dumped it in Kentucky. A hearing on a retrial is set for Wednesday.

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

“In the ancient times cats were worshipped as gods. They have not forgotten this.” (http://tomscats.wixsite.com/cats/ cat-quotes) Because we have a surplus of cats and kittens at the shelter currently (with others waiting to fill their spots); and because feline adoptions have slowed down; and also because we are offering a “two-fur” special on kittens; I am devoting this entire article to our furry lap warmers. All Brandy have been featured before in previous articles, but all are still awaiting that special cat lover to come adopt them! We first have our elderly girl named Sammy. This 16-year-old came to us when her owner could no longer care for her. Dawn Sammy is sweet and petite. She loves nothing better than lounging around waiting for some gentle petting. We have waived her adoption fee because she is priceless. Age is just a number! Sammy really needs a quiet retirement home to spend her final years. Dawn is our majestic beauty with her dilute calico coloring and regal pose. She is a friendly cat who loves to be scratched anywhere and everywhere, and contorts her body to accommodate you during the process. Dawn is approximately two years old and was once a mommy. Freddie was featured just last week and is my current favorite kitty at the shelter. He is gentle and loves to be held. He likes to play and paw at you, but I’ve yet to see his claws come out (although he does have them). Freddie is all black except for a touch of white on his chest. I really like 16-week-old Brandy because she is such a little lover and easy to cuddle with. Plus, I’m partial to black cats because they get a bad rap. Brandy could be a twin to Freddie both in looks and personality, plus he likes to be held too. Lastly, we have a quintet of nine-week-old tuxedo kittens that were abandoned. Three are males and two are females. Some are fluffy balls of fur and some have shorter hair. All have white paws and white chests. All are adorable and it’s a race to see which one will get to the door of their condo first when visitors come around. What’s a “two-fur special” you might be asking? Well, for the month of August we are offering the adoption of two kittens for $100. Normally, our adoption fee is $75 per cat. This price includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate shots and micro-chip. The benefit of adopting kittens is that you can mix and match because they are young enough to adapt to another kitten and become BFFs (best friends forever). They will give you hours of entertainment whether you are watching them play or watching them snuggle; and they will keep each other company, should you have to leave them for a while.

If you are interested in adopting one of our fabulous felines or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 8664096 .The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

Natural Connections - Aging eagles BY EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

The mist abated, but dense clouds still hung low over the lake, their wispy undersides tickling the dark tips of trees. As we drew near the narrow, piney peninsula at the north end of Lake Owen, a bit of white emerged from the gloom. Through my camera’s zoom, I spied on a scruffy-looking adult bald eagle, its feathers matted from the damp weather. Although the supra-orbital ridges above eagles’ eyes often make them look fierce, today the expression seemed to lean more toward grumpiness. That’s just projecting our emotions from the gray day, however, since the ridge of bone is an adaptation that protects their eyes from injury, glare, and perhaps even rain, but doesn’t truly convey mood. This adult eagle had more reason to be tired and grumpy than we did, though, since its very large chick was begging for food just around the corner. Our raingear-clad Loon Pontoon Tour puttered toward the loud chirping, as we scanned the large clump of sticks high in a red pine tree for any signs of movement. During the past few weeks, I’ve spotted moving feathers in the nest. Not a great view, but still a fun sighting. The nest was quiet, though. Where was the chick? There! Midway up a dead, lichen-covered pine, about 40 feet from the nest, sat the chick. The hulking, brown figure could hardly be called a chick, though. It was a recently fledged juvenile who had grown its first set of real feathers and left the nest. Most resources agree that bald eagles typically fledge around 10 weeks of age. Counting back, that puts its hatch day in early June.

Though full-size, this young eagle looked quite different than its majestic parent with the snow-white head and tail. Shades of brown covered its head and body, but the damp day had matted some of the feathers and revealed a mottling of white where the basal portions of contour feathers showed through. Its eyes and beak were dark, too, in contrast to the yellow facial features of an adult. Dark wing and tail feathers drooped low. Like gangly teenagers, juvenile eagles look bigger than their parents. In some cases, a well-fed youngster actually may weigh more than their harried caregivers, but that doesn’t seem to be common. Instead, their larger appearance is due to longer flight feathers, which help them compensate for a lack of flying skills. Their next set of feathers will decrease in size as a nod to increased agility. Those new flight feathers come in gradually and during the eagle’s second summer, its wings and tail sport both longer and shorter feathers. It may seem odd that our Loon Pontoon Tour spent so much time watching an eagle, but as with everything in nature, the lives of these two species are quite connected. For one, eagles are the main predator of adult loons and also attack loon chicks. Loons even have an eagle-specific alarm call to warn their chicks of danger. The animosity between the two species may be due to their shared habitat and competition for fish. They probably don’t realize it, but these adversaries share many common enemies as well: water pollution, habitat loss, harassment by humans and lead poisoning are just a few. Loons and eagles also share quite a few elements of their life histories. Both birds eat mainly fish, are formidable predators, raise just a few young

and care for them diligently, take several years to reach maturity and look distinctive while immature. Last week, on a different lake, we spotted three juvenile loons in their first true plumage. Just like this young eagle, they were mottled brown and white with dark eyes. Those loons will migrate to the Gulf of Mexico this fall and stay there for three to four years. Once mature, they’ll molt into their snazzy adult feathers and fly north. If they’re lucky, they may start breeding immediately, but most loons don’t earn a territory until age six. Eagles have a similar youth, with two main exceptions: they wander widely during their immature stage instead of staying south, and their plumage changes a little bit each year until they become adults. Not far down the lake, we spotted a great example of this. An immature bald eagle, hatched in a previous spring, perched atop a white pine tree. In contrast to its younger cousin, this eagle had quite a few pale feathers on its head and neck, with a dark eye stripe reminiscent of an osprey. In addition, its beak was a lighter shade of gray, and had more yellow at the corners. Its eye color was lighter, too. All these characteristics identify this bird as a 2.5 year old who would have been born in spring 2014. By their fourth summer, as 3.5 year olds, eagles have near-adult plumage, with pale heads and tails that still show some gray and brown flecking. Over the next two molts, their white areas just get more pure. Despite the drizzle, fog and low clouds (or perhaps because of them) both loons and eagles were cooperative for our tour of the lake. What a treat to observe these two majestic birds and learn a little more about their lives!

Sugar-free banana cake Outdoor summer sports, such as biking and swimming, are so fun! Being more active in summer makes me think about eating healthy. I have many friends who are into competitive summer sports. I like to run, swim and bike, too—just not competitively anymore. When my friends train hard, their lives are filled with workouts and healthy food. Even though I don’t compete, I still eat and train like they do. I want to be able to keep up with them on the trail or in the water. When summer rolls around, I start eating very healthy. The first thing to go is anything with sugar in it. I have been experimenting with making breads and cakes without refined sugar. Since bananas are naturally sweet, I started making banana cakes without any added white sugar. The results were fantastic. Even my boys liked it! My next goal was to reduce the amount of refined white flour. In the past, when I baked with only whole wheat or some other flour, the results were baked goods that were gritty or felt sandy in your mouth. Sometimes the bread would even fall apart.

Last winter I discovered coconut flour. It bakes up nicely and adds a subtle hint of coconut, tricking my brain into thinking what I’m eating is sweeter than it actually is. I decided to play up the coconut for more reasons than just the sweetness. It’s a healthy fat. I added coconut flakes and coconut oil. I also added walnuts for added crunch and its Wild Chow healthy fats. Enjoy the sumLisa Erickson mer to its fullest. Eat healthy and play hard.

No-sugar banana cake 4 bananas 1/2 cup coconut oil, warmed slightly to an oil consistency. 2 eggs 1 Tbsp vanilla 3/4 cup coconut flour 3/4 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup coconut flakes 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or macadamia nuts Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add the coconut oil and mix on medium speed. Add the eggs and beat until combined. Stir in vanilla.

In another bowl, mix the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the banana mixture and stir until batter comes together. Add nuts and coconut; stir. Pour into a greased 8 x 8 baking pan. Bake for 35 minutes until cake is golden brown and middle is firm to the touch. Serve warm with butter. Lisa Erickson is a food writer who loves an adventure—especially when food is involved.

ROUNDABOUT: New intersection still a bit confusing after a year of operation CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

to go,” Chell added. “We have not heard back from them.” In addition, who has the right-of-way in the roundabout intersection is always an issue. The general rule-of-thumb is whoever is in the roundabout has the right-ofway, but that’s about to change. “Apparently, the state has a law now giving the right-of-way in roundabouts to vehicles 40 feet in length and longer,” sheriff’s department administrative staff stated. It is easy to determine semi trucks meet that criteria, but what about motor homes, fifth-wheels or even a pickup truck pulling a trailer? There’s also talk of some motorists avoiding the intersection. “We are hearing of more people using alternate routes, like Old 35, Midtown Road and even County Road D to avoid the roundabout,” Chell remarked. “That action has resulted in more accidents on those back roads.” Burnett County Sheriff Ddeputy Steve Sacharski, who submits crash reports for the county, concurs. “There has been one injury accident and two property damage accidents at the roundabout intersection since it opened,” he said. “But, during the same time frame, there have been accidents on roads where we typically don’t see accidents.” Motorist safety was the driving force when then-Assemblyman Mark Pettis spearheaded a campaign to get the intersection changed. According to DOT Northwest Region Traffic Safety Engineer Greg Helgeson, the previous stop-sign, divided highway intersection at that location saw 25 crashes during the eight-year period from 2005 through 2012. All but two of those 25 crashes were right angle (T-bone) collisions, and 13 of the 23 right-angle crashes had at least one injury. One crash resulted in a fatality. “I wanted that intersection fixed,” Pettis recalled. “The roundabout was a good idea because it keeps the traffic moving.” Indeed, that’s why the DOT proceeded with that design. “Roundabouts have proven to reduce the number and severity of right angle crashes,” Helgeson pointed out. “While it’s too early to say how the Siren round-

about has performed since all the construction was completed last November, a 2015 safety study produced by the University of Wisconsin Traffic Operations and Safety (TOPS) lab showed that fatal and severe injury crashes decreased by 40 percent when intersections were converted to roundabouts in Wisconsin.” He said some tips to navigating a roundabout successfully include slowing down and choosing the correct lane when approaching a roundabout, yielding to all traffic already moving in the circle, and not changing lanes in the roundabout. But, that doesn’t change the minds of its detractors. “If it had been built right, I wouldn’t have a problem with it,” Pettis claimed. Obviously in his mind, it wasn’t built right. “If you take two years to engineer a project, wouldn’t you want to do it right?” Pettis inquired. “Motorists from Siren going to Spooner shouldn’t have to enter the roundabout (by using a socalled blow-by lane) and neither should motorists from Spooner going north to Webster.” Those lanes were eliminated. He claims that design would have been cheaper. “It’s almost funny — all the mistakes which were made when that roundabout was designed,” Pettis remarked. “But, it’s too expensive to be funny.” According to DOT Secretary Mark Gottlieb, the price tag for the roundabout is $4 million and growing. ONGOING ISSUES The biggest of the ongoing issues is the standing water. The largest retention pond, unaffectionately known locally as Lake Roundabout, is drawing waterfowl — a hazard to incoming and departing aircraft. Decoy coyotes have been installed in an attempt to keep the birds from congregating at the pond. According to Gottlieb, the retention ponds near the roundabout are infiltration basins designed to completely drain stored runoff into the native sand. The basins are dry except in periods of heavy rainfall. “Infiltration has been a successful means of draining the area around the previous intersection,” he said. “In fact, the airport also uses an infiltration basin along Airport Road to drain several acres at that location.”

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

An aerial view of the new intersection, looking west, before the holding ponds were built.

But obviously, if you’ve driven the intersection, there’s a concern. Motorists have even witnessed water trucks at the pond drawing water out of the pond. “Due to the historically high water table in the area, the basins are not able to

infiltrate as quickly as expected,” Gottlieb explained. He said that to date, the DOT has spent approximately $4,134,708 and anticipates additional costs between $200,000 and $300,000 to remedy the drainage issues.

Country Store’s new gas tank may start a trend gas pumps and declared them out of the gasoline business until their two underground tanks were replaced. “That was an unexpected shock,” Darla Harper said. “The inspector’s decision was all based on the age of the tanks. They agreed our tanks weren’t leaking, but due to the tanks’ age, they couldn’t be used any more. “And, we couldn’t find an insurance company to insure them. You can’t operate a gas station without insurance.” The Harpers had some dark days over the future of their business, looking at a cost of $150,000 to excavate and replace the underground tanks. Someone suggested they contact Pat McDonald, who proposed a single, above-ground tank. “Everything that was underground here has been removed now,” McDonald said Tuesday. “That eliminates a whole host of regulations. Now the inspector can see the entire tank and visually inspect evPat McDonald erything. McDonald Petroleum “This tank will save the station owners money on inspections, tank maintenance and insurance,” said McDonald. “The tank builders are very excited about this,” he added. McDonald’s family-owned company has provided maintenance and installation services to gas station operators since 1962.

GRANTSBURG—The County Store passed state inspection Tuesday and will begin pumping gas by Thursday, using a storage and fueling system unlike any other in the state. The 14,000 gallon steel tank is ballistic-proof and fireproof, with three inches of concrete between its inner and outer walls. It is above-ground and located right next to the gas pumps, in front of the store. Built by USEMCO in Tomah, Wis., the tank was subjected to several recent state government reviews in Madison for use as an above-ground gasoline storage and fueling tank. This type of tank was previously approved for dispensing heating oil and diesel fuel. USEMCO took the next step and got state approval for storing gasoline and pumping it to the public. “The tank is built to withstand a car fire right next to it,” said Pat McDonald, owner of McDonald Petroleum of Chippewa Falls. “It has a relief system like a pressure cooker.” McDonald and two crew members spent eight days setting, installing, piping and connecting the tank to the fuel pumps. “We have been pestering this aboveground tank idea for years,” he said. “This could be the coming thing.” Traditionally, service stations have buried their fuel tanks, both for safety and space saving. But, as County Store owners Darla and Cliff Harper learned last spring, underground tanks have their disadvantages. A state inspector put “out-of-service” tags on all their

The Harpers were able to cut some expenses by using the same fuel pumps and canopy. “This tank will last at least 30 years,” McDonald said. “It is an investment they can recoup. “If they ever need to go to a bigger tank, this one can be removed and sold. This is all new steel and very high tech, and much safer than the typical fiberglass underground tanks,” he said. The tank is divided into three chambers holding 10,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline, plus 2,000 gallons each of diesel fuel and premium unleaded. Customers will now approach the tanks from east or west, unlike the north-south approach of the old tanks. “That extra space will allow school buses and semi tractor trailers to pull in, get fuel and turn around,” McDonald said. “This tank is way different. It’s an all-new concept. But for the consumer, they will just pull up and fuel the way they normally do.”

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates are celebrating their 100th season of football this year, and they opened up the season at home with a commanding win over the Cumberland Beavers, 37-14. Grantsburg scored in all four quarters with a total of 463 yards of offense, while the defense allowed just 193 yards. “Definitely a good way to start off the season for our team. We obviously have a lot to clean up and improve onm But, for an opening game, I felt we were ready,” Pirates Head Coach Adam Hale said. If anyone in the stands was wondering how the Pirates would fare this year after a record-setting season last year, they answered those questions quickly as the swarming defense shut down the Beavers. Grantsburg’s starting defense didn’t allow a score all night. John Chenal was the stat leader on the defensive side with seven solo tackles, two assists and an interception. Bryce Roufs was next on this list adding five solos and two assists. Leo Chenal had a nice first night, finishing with four solos and three assists. Bubba Bowman closed out the top players with two solos and three assists from the defensive tackle spot. “Our first defense was pretty solid all night, shutting out Cumberland

the first three quarters. That allowed us to get everyone in the game, which is always nice. John Chenal and Nick Larsen, as well as some younger guys like Bryce Roufs and Tyrell Brande, came up big on the defensive side making good sound tackles,” Coach Hale said. “Our focus now turns to improving in some areas this week and getting set to host Frederic on Friday.” The Pirate’s offense moved the ball up and down the field all night long. They had a balanced attack of running and passing to keep the Beavers

on their heals. Grantsburg scored twice in the first quarter, with John Chenal rumbling in from one yard out for the first touchdown of the season. The point after kick by Avery Fagerberg was good putting the Pirates up 7-0. The next score was a seven yard pass from Dakota Schultz to Leo Chenal for the score. The PAT was no good. The Pirates were up 13-0 at the end of the first quarter. “Our offensive line consisting of Larsen, Hauk Mortiz, Kalvin Watt, Tanner Berger and Bubba Bowman did a terrific job of controlling the line of scrimmage. That allowed John Chenal to have a big night carrying the football with over 200 yards on 25 carries,” Hale noted. “Both Avery Fagerberg and Dakota Schultz did a good job at quarterback, and Leo Chenal made some great catches. “On offense, I was also pleased with how our wide receivers, Jared Peltier and Austin Olson, whostarted off the year blocking on the perimeter.” The second quarter was the Fagerberg show— he ran a score in from two yards out, ran in the two-point conversion, and then kicked a 41-yard field goal to give the hometown boys a comfortable 24-0 lead at the half. Grantsburg continued their scoring ways in the third quarter, as Fagerberg found Leo Chenal for a 33yard touchdown pass. The point-after was no good, but the Pirates held a 30-0 edge. Cumberland scored twice in the fourth quarter, the first from a tipped pass that turned into a 65-yard interception. The second score came late in the game on a five-yard run. The Pirates added to their lead in the fourth quarter, with Ben Johnson slicing through the gaps from six yards out for the score. Fagerberg added the point after to end the game with the Pirates recording their first win of the season, 37-14. The Pirates will host the Frederic Vikings this Friday. Kick off is at 7 p.m.

CAMERON—The Siren Dragons won their season opener over the Winter Warriors by a 60-32 margin on Saturday at the Eight Man Jamboree. “We played okay,” said head coach Ryan Karsten. “The game was played for almost a half in the rain. Turnovers were a problem on two of our first three drives.” “Brady Mangen had a great day on the ground with 31 carries for 293 yards and five touchdowns. The team ran for a total of 471 yards rushing. That was because of the blocking of the line made up of Noah Koball, Gavyn Anton, Bailey Mangen, Max Lindquist and Tanner Lee. “The other blocking backs were Dolan and Derek Highstrom, Tyler Anton and Steve Pruitt. It was a team effort to run the ball Saturday and the blocking was great. I was really impressed with how hard Brady ran the ball. It was great to see that out of the senior.” “Our defense had some great plays and some plays that need work. It was game number one and we will get better each week. We play Bruce Friday night in Bruce. “The last two years, our games (with Bruce) have been the ‘games of the year’ for us, just great high school football games, and I expect nothing short of that this Friday.” Game time is 7 p.m. at the Bruce field.

Rice Lake Speedway championships Saturday

RICE LAKE—A steady, allday rain ended any chance that racing would take place Saturday night at the Rice Lake Speedway. It had been scheduled to be Season Championship night at the track. The schedule for the remaining two weekends of racing in the 2016 season has been nearly finalized, with only a few details yet to be worked out. This Saturday, Aug. 27, the rescheduled Season Championships will be held in all five divisions. The racing season will conclude at the Rice Lake Speedway on September 3-4, as the speedway returns to their old, two-day format for the season-concluding events. It will be doubleheader racing on the September 3-4 weekend with full shows each night for all five classes that race at the speedway.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord teach us to pray...â&#x20AC;? (Luke 11:1). That was the request made to Jesus by one of His disciples. Jesus responded by teaching His disciples the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer in Luke 11:2-4. Prayer is a skill Jesus teaches all of us through the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer. He teaches us that we should begin our prayer to God by acknowledging our submission to Him as a child to the Father. We should then recognize His greatness and adore Him. We should then pray for His perfect will and the role of His kingdom in our lives. Then after that, we should bring our personal requests before Him.

God wants to have a close personal relationship with each of us. He tells us to â&#x20AC;&#x153;pray without ceasingâ&#x20AC;? (1 Thessalonians 5:17). He wants to hear from us every day no matter what our circumstances are. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear from us only when we need something. We need to be deliberate and diligent in our prayer life by setting time aside every day to pray. This will help us create a habit of prayer. We also need to work on the skill of prayer as modeled by Jesus. An acronym I use is ACTS. This stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication.

Start your prayer time by adoring God, then confessing your sins and mistakes, then by a time of Thanksgiving for what God has given you, done for you, or just for creating you and this beautiful planet, then after doing so, go into a time of Supplication, asking God for what you desire or need. If you work at building your prayer life you will feel your closeness to God growing and as you move into that close personal relationship, you will experience amazing love, comfort, peace and blessings from God your Father.
