Initial permit pulled for proposed RV park on Wood Lake

Was last week’s cold historic? JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– Last week it was colder in Burnett County than in Antarctica for a short time due to a polar vortex. Tuesday through Thursday businesses closed and even the Post Office suspended deliveries. But was it the coldest winter ever? Meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Duluth Josh Sandstrom said that the weather station in Siren recorded a low of -26 degrees with a windchill of -49 on Tuesday night at 10:55. “The nearby weather station in Siren recorded a temperature of -26 degrees with a wind chill of -49 on January 29 at 10:55 p.m. After this time, this station stopped reporting data so that is the coldest I am able to find for that site.” Sandstrom explained what a polar vortex is and what we went through last week. “The Polar Vortex is a large area of low pressure that exists near the North and South poles. It is always there, and becomes strongest during the winter,” he said. “When we talk about the polar vortex affecting us here in the Northland, what is really happening is that a piece of the large polar vortex at the pole expands southward. This happens often in the winter, and when it does, it sends cold air southward.” He continued by saying that this area usually sees SEE HISTORIC COLD, PAGE 2

BURNETT COUNTY––There was a proposal to turn the former Wood Lake Bible Camp site into an RV park with up to 90 sites, but that permit was pulled late in January. The owner, Patrick Kinsella, and his wife, Judi, are now in the process of coming up with a new plan. There was an online petition started to “preserve the history and community of Big Wood Lake,” which received over 800 signatures. The proposal was set to have a public hearing March 5 with the Land Use and Information Committee at the Government Center. “We have pulled the conditional use permit to turn the camp into an RV park,” Jeff Sventek said. “This decision has nothing to do with the petition going around. The decision to pull the permit was based on wanting to take another approach to the site.” Sventek of Frederic applied for the conditional use permit for the site and described himself as the “middle man” of the project. “I’m the go-between for the owners, the Kinsella’s, and the county,” Sventek said. Then on Jan. 31 Sventek submitted a new proposal that would “preserve the character and history of the Wood Lake Bible Camp.” Sventek said the Kinsellas plan on turning the site into a camp that will benefit underprivileged kids in the community and want the camp to be somewhere for families to have fun and enjoy SEE RV PARK, PAGE 2

School hoping to get back on track after last week’s cold caused closings JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––Last week’s Polar Vortex caused all school districts in the county to close last Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Grantsburg and Webster both had a two-hour

delayed start on Monday because of the snow and wind. All three schools were set to go back to school on Friday. However, Siren had to let students out at 10 a.m. due to a water main break that forced the school to send SUBMITTED

HISTORIC COLD: polar vortex temps unlikely to come back this season have another cold snap with temperatures dropping well below zero and wind chills reaching the -30s or -40s,” he said. “Last week’s cold snap, where there were wind chills down in the -50s and even -60s in parts of Minn., was quite unusual. If we see another cold snap this year, it is unlikely that temperatures will be that cold.”

a few cold snaps every year. An example was last Jan. 14 during a cold stretch it reached -27 in Grantsburg. “There are typically about five days per winter when temperatures dip below -20, so cold snaps are not unusual,” Sandstrom stated. “However, Grantsburg last dipped below -30 back on Jan. 22, 2011, when a low of -31 was recorded. So in perspective, temperatures as cold as they were last week do not occur very often.” Sandstrom acknowledged that winter is not over, but it is unlikely Burnett County will see those kinds of cold temperatures again this winter. “Well, it is certainly possible that we will

students home because the building had no heat or hot water. On Monday, Feb. 4, all three districts canceled classes again due to inclement weather and hazardous road conditions. Grantsburg Superintendent Joni Burgin said on Friday the district had two days left built into their schedule for this exact purpose. The district now has one day left. “It will depend on what happens in February, March, and April,” Burgin said when asked if students will have to make up days in June. Webster Superintendent Jim Erickson said they have five and a half snow days built into their schedule and “as of now (have) no plans to have to make up any time.” Burgin and Erickson both said these snow days should not have any effect on graduation later in the spring. “It hasn’t affected graduation in past years with a similar pattern of snow days,” Burgin said. In Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has given a blanket waiver to all school districts meaning they are not obligated to make up those days the schools were Mike Thompson closed. WI Deputy State Superintendent Wisconsin Deputy State Superintendent, Mike Thompson, sent a message to district administrators across the state saying the Wisconsin State Superintendent does not have the authority to waive hours of instruction. The Wisconsin Governor does not have the authority either. “The Department of Public Instruction does not anticipate approving waivers for hours and minutes due to this week’s weather,” Thompson said.

themselves. The new proposal states 20-27 park model cabins will be placed throughout the property. These cabins are approximately 35 feet by 12 feet. They have a living space of about 360 square feet with a total of 9,720 square feet total for 27 units. The proposal includes a map of buildings that will need to be removed because of “their poor condition.” Many residents reached out to the Sentinel with concerns over noise and

infrastructure in the area. Others were concerned with congestion on the roads, saying that Assembly Road is not constructed to handle much more traffic. They are also worried about congestion on the lake with the potential influx of boats. “When Assembly Road gets a heavy rain, it washes out,” Steve Downhour said. “I think that if there is a substantial amount of traffic added to that road it’s going to need more construction to remain safe.” Downhour said he has reached out to many residents and said they are

skeptical of the proposed plans. “I am very concerned about my own enjoyment and I feel that all Grantsburg area residents should be concerned for their own personal enjoyment of the lake,” Ronald Burg said. “The overcrowding would likely deter or prevent those that have accessed the lake for years from doing so.” Land Services Director Jason Towne’s confirmed there will be a public hearing held on March 5 with the new proposal on the agenda.

‘I’m just trying to help people’ JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

James Smith of Grantsburg spends most of his spare time doing work that will ultimately benefit other people. For 42 years he has collected and donated pull tabs off aluminum cans to the Ronald McDonald House in Minneapolis. He has easily processed over a million tabs over those years. His current count, which dates back to last January, is over 450,000 tabs. In the corner of his room at Shady Knoll rest 10 full boxes of pull tabs. “Those are all ready to go with me and my mother to Pine City,” Smith says as he points to the two piles of boxes. Smith, along with his mother Esther, takes the boxes full of pull tabs to the McDonald’s restaurant in Pine City. “Then they load them onto a big truck and drive them down to the Ronald McDonald house,” he said. Smith does not do this alone. He has helpers throughout Grantsburg and the country. “I’ve got friends in Texas and they come up here and bring me tabs. Also, there’s Lisa from Oregon, she sends me tabs too,” Smith says as he sits in his chair at his processing station. While chatting with Smith, he lists off a number of people that are instrumental in helping him collect the tabs. “Danielle Hanson and my cousin Carole. Then there’s also Jeannie, Jackie and Scottie and Kelley,” Smith recites. “Oh and lots of people help Shady Knoll helps with collecting the tabs.” One of his biggest supporters is his employer, Diversified Services Inc. in Siren. “DSI has a container at the front door and the back door for collecting tabs,”

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

James Smith sits at his ‘workshop’ with a pair of boxes that will eventually make it down to the Ronald McDonald House in Minneapolis. He has been collecting tabs from aluminum cans for over 40 years.

Smith said. “People like donating their tabs. They finish a can of pop and then get the tab off and put it in the container. When that’s full I bring it here and get them ready for the boxes.” The 10 boxes in his room are labelled with his name and address on them so the Ronald McDonald house knows where they are coming from. “After I get home from work I probably sit here and work with the tabs from 5:30 to 10 o’clock,” Smith explains. “Then on the weekends I work on these all day.” He has a strong work ethic and enjoys giving back. “It’s better than sitting around doing

nothing and I like helping the kids and their parents and this all helps with getting their treatment for cancer. Or the money they get from the tabs goes to equipment for cancer patients.” Recently people have started dropping off entire cans for Smith to go through. “After I take off the tab, I collect the cans and then donate them to the Grantsburg Fire Department,” he said. Anyone interested in dropping off tabs with Smith can take them directly to Shady Knoll home in Grantsburg at 240 W. Broadway Ave.

Polar conditions and a real loser

We survived the polar vortex. This time of year is when I am so glad that I have a garage I can park my Buick inside. I cannot imagine leaving that vehicle out all night during –40-degree weather. Now the only thing I need is for it to be an electric garage door and a heated garage, then I could be even lazier. I thought the most interesting thing from last week was the United States Postal Service suspending deliveries. We have all heard their motto, “neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” I was totally fine with the post office taking a day off. I would like them to even go a step forward Sentinel and no longer work on Saturdays, simply because it would save the Editor federal government millions of dolJonathan Richie lars on gas alone. As a kid, I thought I could be a postman. Then my friend’s dad got something like heat stroke his first week on the job. As a kid I also wanted to be a sports columnist, so now I get to join a bunch of other gasbags that had the ability to make this point for the last four days. This year’s Super Bowl was a loser. A real stinker of a football game. But it was not just the game, the whole three and a half hours, including commercials and the halftime show, was all pretty boring. There did not seem to be any funny commercials this year. Bud Light is still trotting out that “dilly, dilly” medieval king stuff and apparently going after the corn industry. Bud Light is also the first beer that is going to put nutritional facts on the box. It makes sense. I have always wanted to know how many empty calories I’m ingesting when relaxing with a cold beer. I’m just kidding… I’m a Miller guy. Now to the halftime show, Maroon 5 released their album “Songs about Jane” in 2002 and that is the only thing about that band that I enjoy. Their song “Moves like Jagger” is a garbage heap of a pop song, especially since the group’s frontman, Adam Levine, does not, in fact, move like Mick Jagger. He stands up straight pretty well though. To me the halftime show at the Atlanta Super bowl is an easy choice, it’s OutKast - the hip-hop duo from the ATL featuring Big Boi and Andre 3000. Also, the Backstreet Boys just put out a new album, they would have put on a great halftime show. Lastly, the game itself. 13-3, Pats win. I got the Patriots winning correct. I was over on the combined score by 53. Just a boring Super Bowl Sunday. I would also like to tell the NFL once again that the game should be played on Saturday to let us all recuperate on Sunday.

Where are your gloves? I hope you all survived the recent cold snap. We haven’t experienced that level of cold for an extended period of time for nearly 20 years. Take heart, you can now tell your grandkids how cold it was in January of ’19. It is fascinating to me to see how people deal with the cold weather. At the risk of sounding like an old man, I don’t understand why some people wander around in shorts this time of year. I get that people dash from a heated car a short distance to a heated building, but what would happen if the car broke down? I know that technology has adFrom the Publisher’s vanced in leaps and bounds during my lifetime. Cars are more reliable Desk but are also more dependent on technology. Tom Stangl I imagine many people learned the f ibl off their h i transportation this past week. foibles My late father, Arved, (aka “The Chief”) always hated the extreme cold. As an automotive mechanic, he knew that vehicles would fail when temperatures were extreme. The Chief considered himself a doctor of motors, “curing” his patients or declaring them beyond salvation. A car that was getting by would give up the ghost when stressed by cold or heat and he would have to resuscitate his “patient” during less than ideal conditions. He always said that if things were going to go wrong, they would always go wrong at the worst possible time. Looking back, I can’t imagine a good time for things to break down, can you? As cold as the weather was, it could always be worse. Consider the storm of Jan. 12, 1888, one of the deadliest storms to hit the Great Plains. In doing some research on the storm, I came across a novel, “The Children’s Blizzard,” published in 2004

by David Laskin. The book recounts the storm and its aftermath. According to materials I have read about the novel, Jan. 12, 1888, began as a warmer-than-normal day in Nebraska, the Dakotas and Minnesota, the first warm day in quite some time. It must have been warm, because adults and children alike ventured out for the day without coats and gloves. A cold front came through, and within three minutes the temperature dropped 18 degrees and the snow and wind began. According to accounts, the winds were of hurricane force and the snow was falling horizontally. Weather forecasting and mass communication were both new to the area, with no effective way of communication other than personal contact, so getting the news out about the storm was impossible. Teachers, students and parents all faced what turned out to be life or death decisions. Some children headed home, others stayed at the one-room school. Adults made agonizing decisions about their family members. By the next morning, 500 people were dead in the snow. Children got lost in the snow, teachers attempted to lead children home while others burnt desks in the schoolhouse in an attempt to stay warm. Winds blew roofs off schoolhouses. Parents died trying to carry their children to safety. The Children’s Blizzard remains the deadliest blizzard to hit the plains. We take so much for granted today that it is easy to lose sight of the wondrous life-saving technologies we have for weather forecasting and communications available to us. I hope last week’s weather serves as a reminder that we need to be ready for anything in the winter. As always, I welcome your comments.

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 CAPITOL REPORT

Lawmakers predict Wisconsin will be top hemp producer within a decade WISPOLITICS.COM

Attitudes on industrial hemp are changing statewide after the first growing season in more than six decades, leading farmers and legislators to believe that it could be the next “huge cash crop.” One of the boosters is the leading author of legislation that created the state’s hemp pilot program, Sen. Patrick Testin, who predicts Wisconsin will become the top producer of hemp within the next decade. “I think within five to 10 years, we are going to see Wisconsin be the No. 1 producer and processor of hemp in the entire country,” Testin told WisPolitics.com. Hemp has not been widely planted in Wisconsin since 1957 and has been outlawed in the United States since 1970 when it was lumped in with its psychoactive cousin marijuana and classified as a Schedule I narcotic by the Drug Enforcement Agency under the Controlled Substances Act. But the 2014 Farm Bill passed by Congress contained a small

section that drew distinctions between marijuana and industrial hemp and allowed states to grow hemp “under an agricultural pilot program.” Wisconsin took advantage of the opportunity by passing Act 100 in 2017. That authorized the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to develop a pilot program to restart industrial hemp farming in the state. Testin said expectations for the pilot program were tempered at first. “Initially when we set out on this process, we figured if we could have had a few dozen growers sign up for the program that would have been a great start,” he said. Testin feared that the legal ambiguity around the crop would scare away farmers. While the 2014 Farm Bill allowed states to set up pilot programs to grow industrial hemp, it did nothing to address hurdles the crop faced in the marketplace. The 2016 federal government funding bill contained a provision that stripped government agencies of funds “to prohibit

the transportation, processing, sale or use of industrial hemp.” But hemp and its products were still classified by the DEA as a Schedule I and by the letter of the law, it remained illegal to transport or sell across state lines. But a DATCP spokeswoman said the popularity of the pilot program soared from the outset. “We set up an email distribution list for people who had expressed interest and we must have had between 600 and 700 people on that list,” said DATCP spokeswoman Donna Gilson. Gilson said DATCP officials were so overwhelmed with calls and emails about the program that they struggled to fulfill their normal duties as they rushed to get information out to interested farmers. DATCP issued 242 grower licenses and 93 processor licenses in the first year, kicking the program off with a bang that few industry experts predicted. But the early enthusiasm was not matched by results. Gilson said the 2018 crop yields were affected by unseasonably

wet weather, inexperienced growers and growing pains in the marketplace. Rep. Tony Kurtz, who was granted a grower license but did not plant the crop, said even experienced farmers didn’t fare well in industrial hemp’s maiden growing season. “There’s a pretty big farmer in my area and he did 17 acres of hemp and he told me he would never grow it again because he said ‘I can’t sell it,’” said Kurtz, R-Wonewoc. Gilson said that was a fairly common issue and by her estimation, “almost no one made a profit.” The hemp industry bottlenecked around what Kurtz called the “yin and yang” relationship between a relatively large number of growers and scarcity of processors. “Processors don’t want to come in unless they have the growers. Well I’m a grower, and I don’t want to grow it unless I’ve got the processors,” he said. But Testin said the legal uncertainty that surrounded industrial hemp coupled with

sky-high costs meant processors had to proceed with caution in the first growing season. “I get where the processors are coming from, because for them to process some of this stuff, you’re talking a large capital investment,” he said. That legal uncertainty was resolved when Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill in December, removing restrictions on cultivation, sale, transport and possession of hemp-derived products. The DEA also removed hemp from the most restrictive Schedule I and reclassified it as Schedule V, a category that features over-the-counter cough medicine Robitussin. “From a federal standpoint, [the 2018 Farm Bill] just reassures people this is legal, you can invest in it, you can get a loan for it,” said Kurtz. And Testin believes new regulations and legal guidelines around industrial hemp will help to resolve the processor logjam that plagued the initial pilot program. SEE CAPITOL REPORT, PAGE 18

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Opposed to expansion of the Wood Lake Camp Property The individual that purchased the former Big Wood Lake Bible camp also purchased 7 adjacent properties to the former camp totaling 236.42 acres. On 1/7/2019 new ownerships filed for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the proposed RV Park - consisting of 180 RV sites directly West of the Current Wood Lake Camp property. The property is currently wooded and has a beaver pond on a portion of it. On 1/31/2019 the filing for the initial CUP was withdrawn; no reason given. On 1/31/2019, a new CUP was filed. This new proposal would “update” the former Bible Camp Property from 15 seasonal cabins to 20-27 short-term rental units and 15-25 sites for tenting and RV parking. We have the same, if not more concerns stated in the previous

Most dollars come from our State taxes, local property taxes, and Referendums, if approved, are added to our property taxes. Most school districts have declining enrollment trends, meaning decreased revenue. Wisconsin has higher state and property taxes paid than in a majority of states. $17,692.73 in Total Taxes Paid. By history and past agreements, the State agreed to fund 66% of funding needed. In recent history, the State has not funded at this level, increasing the property tax or referendums. When were we asked for our input on decreasing funding? Where have those dollars gone? Funding for nonpublic schools without accountability was also taken from our local share. Why? In this last election both candidates for Governor stated they would move funding back to the 66% level, which our current Senator supports. Governor Evers has $4.2 billion in new tax collections and has pledged to increase funding for K-12 by $1.4 billion. Our legislature is controlled by Republicans, so this may be difficult to get done. How about back funding dollars owed to our students?

Supporting a referendum puts an extra demand on local taxpayers. Letting the State off the hook, and not living up to their commitment to support our children, should be top priority. Taking more taxes from the local level puts a hardship on our neighbors. Let’s look at the local schools and see how many children get free or reduced meals; Frederic 53%, Luck 44%, Unity 51%, SCF 32%, Osceola, 27% Grantsburg 48%, Siren 54% and Webster 57%. More financial demand at the local level means not only hardship, but less dollars to spend locally. Now would be a good time for every district to load up a school bus with their local school board and superintendent, and surround the capital in Madison until full funding is put back into law. Where should those precious dollars be allocated to? Academic performance, teachers and students, added technical skills to support area businesses, and social adjustment skills at the lowest levels. These improved areas will give us a bigger bang for our buck. Rich Hess Trade Lake, WI

Creative learning space in the works at Grantsburg library JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The Grantsburg library is amping up their children’s area with more STEM-oriented materials. They hope to have the area ready by summer, but first, need a little help funding the remainder of the project. Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is a teaching style that incorporates problem-solving and teaches how to set up steps to solve problems in more real-life situations. “STEM learning is important in our community because of the many manufacturing jobs in the area.” said Grantsburg Library Director, Kristina Kelley-Johnson. “Our library can help children grow preliteracy skills and prepare them for the STEM learning they need to become schoolready.” A team is working on creating a space that children love to go to and their caregivers will feel comfortable in as well. The committee has already added big comfortable chairs for adults, coat racks, a parenting books collection, a local resources bulletin board, and a brochure rack so families can connect with local organizations’ resources. New book bins were donated by Superior Library after they finished a renovation this spring. Christopherson said they are using local business when they can and a lot of the work will be volunteer labor. Dan Peterson has been hired by the committee to construct new shelving, seating, and a new, bigger playhouse. Kelley-Johnson along with Sara Christopherson, Youth Services Librarian, and Cathy McCabe, volunteer designer

for the project, Caylin Muehlberg, library board member and mother of three and Renee Anderson, a new grandma and active community member are all on the Children’s Area Committee.

“We have got something very special planned for the middle of the room,” McCabe teased. “It’s a secret right now and when it’s completed people will have to come and check it out.” It will be in place in time for an open house early this summer.

that the library is more than just quiet reading space,” Christopherson said. “And we’ve seen an overall increase in people just hanging out in the library.” McCabe said the library has grown over the last few years.

munity,” she said. “It’s because of the library’s programming and our staff. They are amazing. We’ve got great leadership at the library. There’s a very well-educated staff that gets the community excited about coming to the library.” McCabe added that their committee has planned the project to make it as cost-effective as possible. They have specifically chosen products that are multi-purpose and are also built to last. “Many private donors have already helped with a lot of the project we are just looking to get that last bit to help us finish,” Kelley-Johnson said. “We are still looking to secure another $2,000 - $5,000 to finish the project.” Kelley-Johnson is in the process of setting up a GoFundMe page for the project. Those interested in donating towards the project directly can send donations to Grantsburg Public Library, 415 S. Robert St. Grantsburg, WI 54840 and specify ‘kids area’ in the memo line. Another fundraising opportunity is the library’s annual Gala which will be April 13 at Crex Convention Center. The featured speaker for the evening will be Dr. John Ingalls of Webster. “We want to create a place where kids can learn and parents can interact with their children and connect with their community,” Kelley-Johnson said. “We’re pretty excited about all of the work the library is doing to better serve our youngest patrons, but there is still a lot of work to do to meet their needs.”

dealing with meters freezing and was still catching up on snow removal when he received a call for another water main break on Thursday. “Thursday around noon a resident on State Road 70 informed the office that water was running down the ditch in front of their house,” Bartlett said. “We had to be careful because the leak affected the strip mall across the road where food businesses were.” That main was fixed by 2 p.m. on Friday. Bartlett said both breaks were well below the frost line. He also said that this winter has been relatively mild and most residents should not worry about their pipes freezing up. He said the frost is three to four inches deep right now and the village’s water laterals are about seven inches deep. Bartlett advises residents to run their water early in the morning if they are concerned. They should run the cold for a couple of minutes. If the temperature of the water is 38 degrees or less the frost line might be getting down to the lateral pipes. “I would like to say thanks to my crew for starting at 4 a.m. and working a 13.5 hour day,” Bartlett concluded. “It was a long day. The temp started out at 12 and was dropping throughout the afternoon.”

GRANTSBURG––In the last week and a half, the Village of Grantsburg has repaired two water main breaks in the village. The first was right before the cold snap and the other occurred just as the polar vortex was ending. Grantsburg Public Works Director said the first showed itself on Jan. 26 on W. St. George Street just west of the Burnett Medical Center. The water was rising between two houses and down W. Wisconsin Avenue.

“Before we reduced the pressure of the water and reduced the amount of water coming out it was getting into a residents basement on W. Wisconsin Ave,” Bartlett said. “With reducing the pressure and the resident diverting the water from his basement entrance water stopped going into the basement.” He was set to send his crew out to take care of it Sunday but decided it would be better to wait until Monday.

“We appreciate you stopping by this morning, but we have no intent on this committee to begin the discussion of opening up the trail,” Pardun said. County Chair Don Taylor also explained that he does not know of any interest at the county level of opening up the trail for motorized use in the summer. “There is no proposal before the board to open the Gandy Dancer Trail to year round motorized use,” Taylor said in an email to a constituent last week. “Doing so would involve a lengthy process including public hearings to change the planned use of the trail. Currently I have not seen any interest from board members to open it.”

Bob Hanson has been the face of the Friends of the Gandy Dancer Trail. He spoke brieﬂy to the County Board last week, telling them he “would much rather work with them that the folks in Polk County.”

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

BURNETT COUNTY–– The Friends of the Gandy Dancer Trail is a newly formed group of citizens who want to keep the trail closed to motorized vehicles during the summer months. They believe the best thing for the trail is to remain open to silent sports, walkers, and bikers, during the summer and allow motorized use in the winter. “We are fine with opening up the trail to ATVs and snowmobiles during the winter, but during the summer it should remain open to silent sports,” Bob Hanson told the Natural Resources committee in December. Hanson has made appearances at many Government Center meetings over the last few months, including a short appearance at the Board of Supervisors meeting last week. “Friends of the Gandy Dancer Trail is a group set up to promote the use of the trail,” Hanson said of the group that formed late last year in November. “Trends show that non-motorized use of the trail will increase quite a bit over the next few years.” Hanson focused on the fact that Polk County has slowly been moving toward opening up the Gandy Dancer Trail to motorized vehicles all year round. “I just want to thank the county for not following Polk County as they try to open the trail up for ATVs in the summer,” Hanson stated. “We have an events committee and last year there were 23 events held on the trail. Next year we have 33 events planned on the trail from April to October.” Hanson stressed the need for motorized and non-motorized activities in the county. “There’s almost more places to drive an ATV then there is to drive a car in Burnett County,” Hanson told the County Board last month. “There needs to be places for both activities.” When Hanson came to the Public Safety committee in December he was told by committee chair Gerald Pardun that they have no intent of opening the trail.

Love Shouldn’t Hurt JOAN SPENCER DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AT COMMUNITY REFERRAL AGENCY

Your teen is in an unhealthy relationship. You have been noticing your teen isolating themselves from friends, family, or not participating in after school events. They are more depressed/ anxious. Perhaps they start to dress differently. If you are seeing these signs, it’s time to have a difficult talk with your teen. Your suspicions are correct, now what? Start a discussion that will lead to your teen to leave the toxic relationship and get proper help instead of seeking the support of their abuser. Here are some valuable insights to remember while speaking with your teen. Listen and give support: Let your teen know that no one deserves to be abused. Believe what your teen is telling you: Offer support. LISTEN, don’t judge. Talk about behaviors, not the person: Remember that your teen is still probably “in love” with their partner. Single out the behavior by saying, “I don’t like that you need to spend so much time texting where you are and who you are with.” Avoid ultimatums: Leaving is the most difficult and often most dangerous time for abuse victims. If you force them to break it off, chances are you may drive them back into the arms of their abuser. Be prepared: Educate yourself on teen dating abuse then approach your teen with what a healthy relationship looks like. Decide on the steps together: You can ask what steps they would like to take next. It is okay if you don’t know all the answers; be supportive. If they are unwilling to talk right away, try again later. If they are still uncomfortable speaking with you regarding their relationship, provide them with any of the resources listed below. My teen isn’t in a relationship right now. This is the perfect time to approach your teen and talk about healthy relationships. Let them know they have your support and can come to you with any dating concerns. Remind them they have the right to say “no” to anything they are not comfortable with.

Did everyone stay in where it was warm during those awful cold days? I know I sure did. Hope we don’t get any more of that this year. Remember when Webster schools are closed due to the weather, the center is also closed. There was no pool or doninoes due to the weather. We also canceled Dime bingo, we just didn’t want anyone coming out in that cold. Wii bowling was very exciting this week. Bill B bowled two 300 games again. It is getting to be a habit. Good job Bill. Pat N was very competitive as she bowled a 299. Gold star to her. Deanna’s Boys had high team game and series 801 and 1565. Splits picked up were: LaJuana 5-10 twice, Curt 5-10, Bernie 4-7-10 and the 4-6, Dana 5-10, Bill P 4-5-7-8, and Gladys 5-7-9. Pot Luck and Horse race will be Saturday February 9.

Very cold small mammals EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

My car shuddered and groaned before turning over reluctantly and revving to life. The thermometer had displayed negative 32 degrees as I headed out the door, and my weather app countered with negative 37. Looking back through my kitchen window, I could see Ally Moser Scott filling up thermoses with hot water, and organizing her hand warmers, balaclava, and boots. I was headed to a comfortably heated office. She was preparing to be outside all morning in this potentially dangerous cold. Ally is a master’s student in Professor Jon Pauli’s lab down at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Her thesis is “assessing the population ecology of small mammals in northern Wisconsin to evaluate prey availability for the American marten.” The field part of her research entailed setting up several 25-trap grids in different forest types, and then checking the live traps for nine days straight in order to estimate the number of small mammals in each habitat. With 75 traps to check per day, it’s a good thing that Ally has help. Sarah Nagel, who earned a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Minnesota State University Moorhead, is gaining field experience by being Ally’s research technician. Ally and Sarah are staying at the Cable Natural History Museum’s Jackson Burke House, which is convenient to their research sites near Clam Lake and Mellen in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Although Ally and Sarah were willing to brave our recent polar vortex in the name of science, I looked at the weather forecast closely and picked a slightly warmer day to join them on their trap lines. It was barely below zero with a light drizzle of snowflakes

when we loaded up in the work truck at 7 a.m. I wasn’t sure what to expect as we walked single file into the woods at the first study site in a spruce swamp. Because the small mammals that Ally is trying to catch spend most of the winter hiding out and staying warm beneath the snow, it’s important to her research

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

that humans don’t tramp all over the trap grids and mess with mouse habitat. We stepped as exactly as possible into the boot prints that were established the first time someone walked among the traps. Sprigs of Labrador tea, a common bog plant, poked out of snow, which drifted among the scaly trunks of spruce trees. Also scattered among the trees in a 5 x 5 grid, were 25 wide, black, corrugated tubes, each about two feet in diameter and 30 inches tall. Each tube was covered by a square board and a rounded cap of snow. This research takes a village. Last fall, a crew of staff and volunteers from The Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC) pitched in to help place these tubes. Then, volunteers from

EMILY STONE

Ally Moser Scott (back) and Sarah Nagel continued to check their small mammal trap line despite the recent bitter cold.

GLIFWC returned regularly to put bait in the tubes, just to make sure that the small mammals were comfortable using these odd habitats. Finally, when Ally came up to start her 9-day trapping session here, she and Sarah baited and set a metal live trap inside each tube. The bait packets are an ingenious system of a thin plastic bag filled with a little stuffing and sunflower seeds. The small mammals can easily chew into the bag, eat the seeds, and make a warm nest with the stuffing. Although the plastic may seem dangerous, it can add a layer of warmth, and doesn’t cause suffocation. With the bitter cold, the researchers also strap a big air-activated heat packet to each trap. It must be a fairly comfortable set-up for the critters, because some get “trap happy” and come back day after day for a free lunch. For example, when Ally pulled a little deer mouse out of one trap, it was already sporting tiny metal ear tags. It had already been weighed, its hind foot measured, and its ears pierced, on a previous day. Sarah recorded the ear tag numbers on her data sheet, and the wide-eyed mouse was free to scurry away. You may be wondering why scientists would go to so much trouble, and brave the recent bitter cold, just to count the little critters in an area. The answer lies

in a slightly bigger critter: American martens. These beautiful animals have been reintroduced to Wisconsin, but aren’t thriving as hoped. Resource managers want to know why. A few years ago, Phil Manlick, now a PhD student in Professor Pauli’s lab, stayed at the Museum’s staff house to study American martens in the area through DNA samples from hair and scat. His results showed that the local martens are eating mostly shrews and road-killed deer instead of their preferred food of red-backed voles. Ally’s research is following up on those findings. Maybe martens are eating shrews because voles aren’t available? During my single day on the trap line, we certainly caught more shrews than mice, and Ally has only caught a few red-backed voles so far. My toes were chilled by the end of that morning afield, but the temperatures I endured were nothing compared to the deep freeze that Ally and Sarah navigated safely three days in a row. Her research will eventually earn her a master’s degree. In the meantime, she and Sarah have earned some bragging rights for toughing out the bitter cold.

WILD CHOW

Warm up with the cheesiest mashed potatoes I don’t feel one bit of guilty eating rich and heavy foods this time of year. Last week, many people baked and cooked their way through the Polar Vortex. My instagram account was filled with many delicious things people were cooking. I saw so many mouth-watering pots of mashed poWild Chow tatoes, I had to get in on the action. Lisa Erickson Mashed potatoes are the quintessential Midwestern dish. They go with any kind of slow roasted meat. With or without gravy, they are divine. There is only one thing that makes mashed potatoes even better—cheese! There is an ultra cheese French dish called pomme aligot. It’s

a cheese lover’s dream. I came across a version of this recipe years ago, but hadn’t made it for years. I updated it by adding some spiciness to make it even more warming. Traditionally, the potatoes are stirred with the cheese to increase the gluten, but I like them a little lighter. You won’t care about what the weather is doing outside after one bite—maybe you’ll even be a little glad you live in the coldest region in the USA.

Tigers fend off Saints to remain undefeated GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ST. CROIX FALLS— The Webster Tigers held off a determined St. Croix Falls Saints team on Friday, winning by a 69-63 margin. After eight minutes, St. Croix had a 16-12 edge due to a seven point run, forcing Webster to call a timeout. Webster got to work and scored six straight points, two on a resounding dunk by Jack Washburn. The Tigers worked their way to halftime and maintained a 37-27 lead at the half. Hunter Rosenbaum was the spark plug for the Tigers getting five three-point shots in the first half, along with a field goal. “Hunter had a monster night tonight,” said Coach Rob Scherrer. “I don’t know his shooting percentage, but it must have been pretty good. He’s been waiting for a game like this. His shot has been a little bit off, but tonight it was right on. Hopefully he’ll continue during the rest of the season and into

tournament time and that will make us tough to beat.” To open the second half, the Saints ran off 15 points to the Tigers’ four and with 10:10 remaining in the game, St. Croix led 42-41. Webster stormed back with two three-pointers by Rosenbaum and a basket by Trevor Gustafson, allowing the Saints just one field goal. The Tigers resumed the lead at 49-44. The Tigers increased the lead by two at 55-47

with 4:17 left to play. Carsen Stenberg and Coleton Peterson each had a field goal while Rosenbaum was two-for-two from the free throw line. With 12 seconds remaining, and after a Saints time out, trailing 67-61, Washburn got loose for another two-point slam and St. Croix got a three-point shot to go in right before the buzzer. When asked why a smaller player was in the low post and a taller one on top, Scherrer replied,

“It wasn’t my coaching strategy. The kids themselves, having played for so long together, knew they had to make adjustments and this was one of their adjustments. “We knew we were in for a tough battle against St. Croix. They gave us everything they wanted. “People look at the scoreboard and said it should have been more, but it wasn’t meant to be. “We’ve got a big game next Tuesday, so we’ll focus on that one as they are looking for a conference championship as are we,” finished the coach. Rosenbaum took scoring honors for the game with 36 points. Gustafson tallied 11 and Washburn 10 for the Tigers. The Saints were led by Alex Mysicka with 16 points. Declan Greenquist and Trevor LaMirande each added 10. Webster will have hosted Unity on Tuesday. They will go south for a game at Siren on Friday and then travel to Northwood next Tuesday.

He was tied in the third with the fifth ranked wrestler in the finals.” “The top two wrestlers are highly ranked,” said Coach Bartlett of Nolan Johnson (106) “and are very tough kids. He took third place easily.” Dominic Caroon (195, third place) “ran into the Bruce kid for the third time. He had him on his back in the third, but couldn’t get the pin. He wrestled him a lot better this time. He is looking good,” said the coach. Logan Czech (120, fourth place) “had a rematch with the Unity kid again. Another exciting match we were able to come out on top again. He has gotten better since the beginning of the year.” “He had a disappointing day,” said Coach Bartlett of Brad Lucas (160, fourth place). “He knows he could have done better.” Ben Berglund (285, fourth) decided to try 285. He went 0-2 at this weight. “He was dinged up in the first match,” Bartlett said of Hunter Sellent (138, fifth place). “For precautionary reasons, we pulled him out for the rest of the day.” “Everyone looked good. One was dinged up, but he looks like he will be all right for Regionals. I can see quite a few making it to Sectionals if they wrestle to their potential,” concluded Coach Bartlett.

ST. CROIX FALLS—After being tied at two, four and six, the Saints went on a 13-0 run and went on to defeat the Webster Tigers 89-29 on Friday night at St. Croix Falls. The Saints put up 53 first half points to the Tigers’ 20. Julia Gavin led the Tiger scoring with seven. Hannah McDowell tallied five. Brooke Hetfeld and Makena Buffington each added four. In the second half, Webster managed just nine points. Buffington had a three point shot. Alijah Daniels and Jenna Gomulak each had a field goal and Gavin added a pair of field goals. “When you play St. Croix Falls, they’re not going to hold the ball. They are going to put up points.” said Coach Mat Wood of the Tigers. “I’m pretty proud of our kids. Offensively, we could have put up more points, but defensively in the second half, we did well, considering it was St. Croix Falls. “We do have to work on taking care of the ball,” the coach continued. “It was tough with those three days off (due to the weather), and not getting all the practice we should, but St. Croix had the same thing happen to them.” Olivia Miron was top scorer for the Saints with 22. Azalea Edwards, Emily McCurdy and Josey Kahl all scored in double figures.

SIREN—The Burnett Blizzard hockey team fell to two different squads last week. On Friday, they were in Spooner and came away with a 6-0 loss to the Northwest Icemen. On Saturday, they hosted Ashland and left with a 7-2 setback. Friday’s game had Blizzard goalie Caleb Johnson turning away 25 of 31 shots on goal while the Blizzard got just 14 shots placed on Icemen goalie Jonah Becker. Northwest scored twice in the first period, three times in the second and once in the final period. From Assistant Coach Ben Anderson, “The game was ugly, terrible defensive zone coverage, no shots from us in the offensive zone, and a little chippy. A tough loss after three days off.” In Saturday’s contest, Ashland scored first, but then the Blizzard put two across to have a 2-1 advantage after one period of play. Trent Zenzen and Bryce Roufs were the goal scorers with Roufs and Luke Trittelwitz assisting on the first goal and David Doty on the second goal. Goalie Caleb Johnson defended 35 of 42 shots put on him while Ashland goalie Zach Morris was 31 for 33. Head coach Tim McDonald said, “I think we played a solid first period and a good five minutes into the second period but we just ran out of steam tonight. Caleb Johnson played outstanding and really kept us in the game, but we couldn’t create many scoring opportunities even on a 5 on 3 power play in the third period. We need to eliminate our small mistakes and put a better effort in for all 51 minutes of the game moving forward if we want to be successful.” After hosting Somerset on Tuesday, the Blizzard will travel to Amery on Thursday and will host Baldwin-Woodville on Friday. Friday’s game is slated for 5 p.m.

CAPITOL REPORT: new regulations could help Wisconsin become top hemp producer CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

“I think you’re going to see some folks on the processing side who sat on the fence in Year 1 of our hemp program are going to say, ‘The feds gave the green light so let’s do this,’” he said. With the changes at the federal level, both lawmakers believe Wisconsin is on the verge of breaking through as a national leader in the hemp industry. Kentucky currently leads the way nationally, but according to the latest data from DATCP and Kentucky’s Department of Agriculture, Wisconsin licensed 32 more growers and 21 more processors than Kentucky in 2018. But when it comes to farming hemp, “experience matters.” Kentucky’s pilot program has been in place since 2014, and the extra four years appear to have given the Bluegrass State a leg up in standard production metrics: planted acres and harvested acres. DATCP has yet to compile official acreage figures, but the Wisconsin Hemp Farmers & Manufacturers Association estimated that growers planted 1,850 acres, a number dwarfed by the 6,700 acres Kentucky reported for the 2018 growing season. Kurtz estimated it would take around six more years before Wisconsin overtakes the national leader. In the meantime, he says with commodity prices nearing rock bottom, the flexibility that hemp offers could make it the “next very lucrative cash crop.” “This crop provides so many different avenues where somebody can find a niche,” said Kurtz. Hemp can be grown and harvested for three purposes: fiber, which has uses ranging from clothing to home insulation to plastic; seed, which is edible and highly nutritious or could be used to create biofuel; and flowers, from which the increasingly popular cannabidiol, or CBD oil, is extracted. Kurtz plans on targeting seeds when he plants industrial hemp on his organic farm later this year, though he acknowledges that may not be the most savvy business plan.

A report from from the Hemp Industry Daily shows that among the top 10 states in hemp production in 2018, the median price per pound of flower was 100 times greater than the median price per pound of seed and 1,000 times more expensive than the median price per pound of fiber. The Wonewoc Republican says increasing demand for CBD oil — which proponents say can can help with everything from anxiety and cognition to movement disorders and pain — has driven up the cost of flowers. The medical efficacy of CBD oil has yet to be fully studied, though. Clinical trials have concluded that CBD oil is an effective remedy for certain types of childhood epilepsy, and the FDA has approved a CBD-based drug for that purpose. But research is still ongoing as to its effectiveness treating other ailments. But Kurtz said “the cat is already out of the bag” when it comes to CBD oil. In the meantime, Testin and Kurtz are focused on giving hemp farmers and processors “as much freedom as humanly possible” to grow industrial hemp. The two are currently working on legislation that would allow the industry to “move forward with confidence.” “Are we there yet? The answer is no, but i think this bill provides the blueprint to move forward,” said Kurtz. Meanwhile, DATCP reports it is currently on pace to double the number of licenses issued as the state attempts to catch national leaders. “My prediction is we’ll be in the top five in year two, and I think moving forward, we’re going to give Kentucky a run for its money,” said Testin.

Experts: Wisconsin’s extreme cold can kill emerald ash borer MADISON — The bitter cold temperatures that gripped Wisconsin this week could also have a chilling effect on an invasive insect species that threatens the state’s ash trees, according to recent findings. U.S. Forest Service research biologist Rob Venette co-authored a study that found temperatures around 20 degrees below zero can reduce emerald ash borer populations by half. Venette told Wisconsin Public Radio that this week’s extreme cold will likely kill up to 80 percent of the invasive Asian beetles in Wisconsin. The invasive pest was discovered in Wisconsin in 2008 and has spread to more than half of its counties. Emerald ash borers are responsible for killing tens of millions of ash trees across the U.S. Venette and other researchers studied ash borer larvae in Minnesota during the last polar vortex in 2014 to measure how much cold it takes to kill them, he said. They recorded up to 70 percent mortality when temperatures reached 23 degrees below zero. “Because it’s been so much colder this go around, we’re expecting much more mortality,” he said. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources official Andrea Diss-Torrance said the recent polar vortex won’t cause the insect to go extinct, but could buy landowners time to treat ash trees that haven’t been infected yet. “Or even kill it out if the infestation has just started and the population in that tree is still pretty low,” she said. Venette said the challenge will be preventing the few insects that survive the extreme cold from re-establishing their populations. “Within a year or two, unless it’s cold again, we expect those populations to be back where they are about now,” he said.

Doris May (McPheeters) S Schauer was born on April 220, 1918, to Irvin and Allie M McPheeters, in Webster C City, Iowa. Doris was tthe ninth born of eleven c children and was the last ssurviving. She passed away J January 26, 2019. When Doris was a baby, h her grandfather, father, a and two brothers, Glen and V Virgil, traveled by covered wagon pulled by two work horses, to the area north of Webster, Wisconsin, in search of a place to live. Shortly thereafter, Doris, her mom and sisters: Maxine, Iola, and Aleene, traveled by train to join them. When Doris was 16, she met Ervin John Theodore Schauer, the love of her life. On October 17, 1936, they were married at the courthouse in Pine City, Minnesota. They lived in two rooms in the Siren Hotel on Main Street, until they were able to build a home, the first house built, on the north side of town in 1940. Doris and Ervin had six children, Paul, Wayne, LaVerne, Ervin Jr., Jean, and Julie, raising them together until Ervin’s passing in 1994. Doris was an accomplished entrepreneur and “Domestic Engineer.” While raising her family, Doris was also a seamstress, making her and her childrens’ clothes. She knit and/or crocheted many items including clothing, doilies, bedspreads, quilts, tablecloths, and many other items. Doris’s knitting/crocheting skills were so professional, that she was known throughout the community, so much so, that people requested her to make sweaters for them. Doris also helped local women (and their families), during pregnancies and after care, doing household chores and cooking. She worked for two sisters who took care of the ill in their home on Crooked Lake, by assisting with housekeeping and cooking. Additionally, Doris worked in agriculture at the Frederic cannery, and also picking vegetables in the fields, sometimes towing two children along so she could work. She also worked as a waitress and/or cook in various local

restaurants. In 1959, Doris and her friend built and operated the Fancy Freeze Drive-In. After selling the Fancy Freeze in the fall of 1963, Doris continued to work as a waitress and/or cook at a local restaurant and would fill-in when needed as a cook’s assistant at the Siren school. Throughout the years, Doris enjoyed several hobbies including: fishing, gardening, canning, reading, traveling, and playing cards. She loved fishing by herself, but especially with her son, Wayne, and his son Tommy. Doris and Ervin always had a beautiful vegetable garden for fresh eating, or canning. Doris also had beautiful flowers in her garden, which she shared with everyone. There were always fresh flowers in the house, even in the winter; she was blessed with a very green thumb and kept a garden and canned until she was 92. In her later years, she had time to read novels, and heaven forbid, we call when she was deep in the midst of a good book. Doris enjoyed traveling to California to spend time with her daughters, and go camping to areas which included California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and many national parks. Other places she traveled included Branson, Alaska, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Montana, Canada, and the east coast. She always enjoyed spending time visiting with her seven sisters and their husbands. One could almost always find Doris, her sisters and nieces, and her daughters, playing a competitive game of Hand and Foot. When her eyesight was failing, she became an avid radio listener, and she learned to enjoy the card game Golf. She would play at any time, and asked anyone to join, including her insurance salesman, and was always ready to take your pennies. Above all else, Doris enjoyed spending time with her family. Doris was loved by many and her passing will leave a void on all those she’s touched. Doris was preceded in death by her husband; son; all her siblings; and many other family members. Doris is survived by five children; 9 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren (3 step);18 great great-grandchildren. Please refer to www.swedberg-taylor.com for service updates.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Authorities examine cellphone of alleged Wisconsin kidnapper BARRON — Wisconsin authorities have examined call logs, photos and videos stored on the cellphone of the man accused of kidnapping a 13-yearold girl and killing her parents, according to court documents filed Tuesday. The search warrant documents filed in Barron County Circuit Court don’t reveal the nature of the photos and videos stored on the phone of 21-yearold Jake Patterson , who is charged with killing James and Denise Closs on Oct. 15 and kidnapping their daughter, Jayme Closs. But the documents said evidence on the phone could be used “to determine the chronological context” of

what happened. Jayme escaped from a cabin in Douglas County on Jan. 10 after 88 days in captivity and flagged down a woman for help. She was able to provide a description of the car Patterson was driving, and he was arrested minutes later. According to a search warrant affidavit, the red Ford Taurus Patterson was driving was taped up and taken to a secure evidence garage. The FBI’s evidence response team searched the car the next day and found his cellphone on the front seat. The phone was released to the Wisconsin Department of Justice to be

analyzed by someone trained in the forensic extraction of data. The documents said authorities were looking for a contact list, a log of incoming and outgoing calls and the dates and times of those calls, texts or other messages and social media communications. They were also seeking emails that were sent to or from the cellphone, evidence that would tell them where the phone was during their months-long investigation, and any pictures or videos on the device. According to the criminal charges, Patterson told investigators he saw Jayme getting on a school bus near her

home and decided to abduct her. The complaint said Patterson went to the Closs home Oct. 15 with the intention of abducting Jayme and with plans to kill if necessary. He allegedly told authorities he shot Jayme’s father, James Closs, through the front door, then went inside and found Jayme and her mother huddled together in a bathtub. He shot Denise Closs, then dragged Jayme to a car, the complaint said. He took her to his cabin near Gordon, a township of 645 people in thickly forested Douglas County, according to the complaint. His next court date is Feb. 6.

Foxconn again shifts Wisconsin plan after Trump intervenes SCOTT BAUER

MADISON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Foxconn Technology Group has shifted its stated strategy yet again on Friday for a massive Wisconsin campus, crediting a conversation with President Donald Trump for cementing plans to proceed with building a factory to make high-tech liquid display screens. The news capped a week of confusion about Foxconnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans in Wisconsin. The company announced in 2017, to much fanfare, that it planned to invest $10 billion in the state and hire 13,000 people to build an LCD factory that could make screens for televisions and a variety of other devices. The company last year said it was reducing the scale of what was to be made in Wisconsin, from what is known as a Gen 10 factory to Gen 6. But this week, even that was thrown into question with Fox-conn executive Louis Woo said it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete in the television screen market and would not be making LCD panels in Wisconsin. But on Friday, in yet another twist, Foxconn said after discussions with the White House and a personal conversation between Trump and Foxconn

chairman Terry Gou, it plans to proceed with the smaller manufacturing facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great news on Foxconn in Wisconsin after my conversation with Terry Gou!â&#x20AC;? Trump tweeted. Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Democratic governor criticized the company Friday for its flip-flopping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no limit, frankly, to skepticism if the messaging isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coherent,â&#x20AC;? Evers told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m comfortable that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still committed to the state. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re committed to this Generation 6 technology, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that we (wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) encourage them to be more transparent and consistent in their messaging.â&#x20AC;? The latest Foxconn statement did not say whether the commitment to this size factory would affect the type of workers who would be employed in Wisconsin. Foxconn executive Louis Woo told Reuters earlier this week that about three-quarters of workers in Wisconsin would be in research and development-type jobs, not manufacturing. Woo said the Wisconsin project would be more of a research hub, rather than having a manufacturing focus. A Foxconn spokeswoman had no im-

mediate comment about what its plans to build the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gen 6â&#x20AC;? factory would mean for the makeup of the workforce. The difference between a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gen 10â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gen 6â&#x20AC;? plant rests with the size of the original glass used to make the screens. The larger plant, which had been part of Foxconnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial plans, would have used glass more than three times as large as what the smaller facility will use. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gen 6â&#x20AC;? plant can make screens ranging in size from a smart phone to a 75-inch television, while the larger plant would have allowed for devices as large as 9 1/2 feet by 11 feet. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gen 6â&#x20AC;? plant is expected to be smaller in size and less expensive than a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gen 10â&#x20AC;? factory, but Foxconn has not specified just how large it will be. Foxconn, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest electronics company, said Friday the campus will house both an advanced manufacturing facility and a center of â&#x20AC;&#x153;technology innovation for the region.â&#x20AC;? Local Wisconsin government and economic development officials where the Foxconn campus is located praised the news, saying construction of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gen 6â&#x20AC;? factory will coincide with construction of other related buildings over the next 18 months.

Wisconsin promised nearly $4 billion in state and local tax incentives to Foxconn if it invested $10 billion and created 13,000 jobs for the project, which Trump heralded last year as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;eighth wonder of the world.â&#x20AC;? But Foxconn has repeatedly revised its plans for what will be made in Wisconsin and who will work there, causing confusion in the state and leading critics of the project this week to accuse Foxconn of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bait and switch.â&#x20AC;? The original deal was struck by thenGov. Scott Walker and Trump. Evers, Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current governor who used Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for Foxconn against him in the race, was a critic of the project during the campaign but has said this week heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working closely with Foxconn on the project. Foxconn earlier this week cited a changing global market as requiring a move away from making LCD panels in Wisconsin. Apple is Foxconnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main manufacturing customer and it has forecast a drop in revenue from the Chinese market due to decreasing demand for iPhones.

It reminds us of the way things go in life. There seems to be a very definite pattern to it but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that the changes are any less difficult. It does mean, however, that we are people who have come to experience and trust the faithfulness of our God and we know without a doubt that it may be February but the wondrous days of

SACRED HEART OF JESUS & MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH

As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be. Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love and care does not vary or change with the weather or the events of life. Even death has no power over Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power. Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resurrection demonstrated that Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love can endure the worst that can happen, transforming the darkness of a Good Friday into the glory of Easter. These days of darkness will be followed by the joy that God has promised.

spring and summer will follow as surely as day follows the dark. So it is, as we face lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark days, we know that there is a promise that better life is still before us and that our God will bring us to those days. Thomas Chisholm gave us a great hymn of the church titled Great Is Thy Faithfulness. Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father, there is no shadow of turning with Thee; thou changest not, thy compassions they fail not;
