BURNETT COUNTY––The Burnett County Sheriff’s office did a number of drug searches with the K-9 unit throughout the county in February, according to Detective Jameson Wiltrout. “Everyone else is sick, so you get me today to give the report,” Wiltrout told the Public Safety committee last week. County Administrator Nate Ehalt said a number of departments had people out sick last week, therefore, there were a number of departments, including the district attorney and clerk of courts’ offices, that were not in attendance at the meeting. Wiltrout said the department’s K-9 Tracker was very busy in February. The deployment report SEE PUBLIC SAFETY, PAGE 6

Student art show held in Siren

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

“This show, well, it’s a dream come true for me,” Tom Scott of Burnett Area Arts Group said at the second annual art show. “We had such a great turnout last year, our inaugural show, we decided we would come back and have another show again this year.” Scott, a former teacher, said he has always wanted to be able to showcase students’ artwork and this show, which was held last weekend at Northwoods Crossing Event Center in Siren, is something he has always wanted to do. The show also lines up with March being Youth Art Month.

Public meeting held next week for summer construction GRANTSBURG––Next Monday engineers will explain to local businesses located in downtown Grantsburg the scope of their revitalization project. The meeting will be at 6 p.m. in the Village Board room. The Village was awarded a Community Development Block Grant for Public Facilities (CDBG-PF.) The 50/50 grant will be used to fund several projects to re-invigorate downtown Grantsburg and Madison Avenue. The CDBG-PF is a program sponsored by the Federal government and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with the money being dispersed by the Wisconsin Department of Administration. The project is estimated to cost $760,000, Grantsburg has been awarded $380,000 and the other half will come from the village and may include in-kind donations. Public Works Director Chris Bartlett will not be able to attend the meeting, but he did explain the SEE PUBLIC MEETING, PAGE 2

options outside the classroom for these students. “You look at all the other programs offered by the schools and they have outside events that show the community what they are doing,” Scott said. “Sports has their games and the band has their concerts, so we were looking at how to support the art students.” Members of BAAG came up with the idea of the first student art show which was held last year at Northwoods Crossing Event Center. It features student’s artwork from five area schools; Grantsburg, Frederic, Luck, Siren, and Webster. There was artwork from over 40 area students with 27 pieces from Burnett County students. Next year the show will be held at the In a New Light Gallery south of the Village of Webster located on the corner of N. Bass Lake Road and Highway 35. “With the remodeling happening at the In a New

Light Gallery, they are adding on to their gallery and other facilities, we’ll hold the show there next year,” Scott said. “It will also be the new home for BAAG.” Scott is a former Siren teacher and knows the amount of work the students and teachers have put into this show. “This isn’t a small task to get the artwork together and put on this type of show to showcase the students’ work,” Scott explained. “It’s a lot of hard work they put into this and after our big turnout last year, we knew we had to do it again this year.” Kim Butler from Senator Patty Schachtner’s office was at the show to present awards to all of the students and also gave a little encouragement for their work in the arts. “These are skills you’ll use throughout life,” Butler said. “They are transferable to other careers and honing

engineers from SEH will be there to explain the scope of the project. “Bryan Cunningham of SEH will be there to explain the project,” Bartlett said. “We’re going to be doing it in stages because we don’t want it to effect businesses too much.” Village Clerk/Deputy Treasurer Sheila Meyer said the engineers will have preliminary designs so businesses and the public can get an idea of what every-

thing is going to look like. In September the project was outlined and will include; • Improved crosswalk from Madison Avenue across Olson Drive for better pedestrian access to Memory Lake Park. • Numerous curb bumpouts will be added on both sides on Madison Avenue. • Street lights will be replaced and upgraded. • Sections of the curb will be replaced, and the street overlay will be improved.

•

Sections of sidewalk will be repaired and replaced with ADA pedestrian ramps. • New water main to replaced old undersized main on Pine Street between Madison Avenue and Olson Drive. The old water main will be removed. The project is scheduled to start in July 2019, after Watercross, and is scheduled to be completed by mid-October 2019.

Giant snow shelf A Grantsburg resident on the north side of town called the Sentinel to get a photo of this snow shelf that is hanging off his porch. The sheet of snow is about six and a half feet tall, over ﬁve feet wide and more than two feet thick.

Correction I last week’s edition of the Sentinel in “Grantsburg man escapes house fire” it was stated the fire was east of town. The fire was west of the village. The Sentinel staff apologizes and regrets the mistake.

DAN CAMPION

Scout Troop 564 Camping The scouts from Troop 564 of Burnett County braved the snowstorm Saturday night and went winter camping. Seven scouts and two leaders had to snowshoe their gear in sleds back into the woods half a mile, then built snow quinzees (snow caves) to sleep in. After a long afternoon of work, pizzas over the ﬁre and scalloped potatoes hit the spot and everyone was ready for bed early. With daylight saving time, morning came too early. When we emerged from our quinzees, there were several inches of fresh snow, and everyone pitched in to make sausages, pancakes and scrambled eggs on the ﬁre. Special thanks to the Burnett County Tavern League for their generous donation that provided zero degree sleeping bags to keep the scouts warm.

From Grantsburg Schools the student of the week is Dauntay Erickson. He is the junior son of Darlena Glonek. Dauntay is a positive, hardworking student who has made the honor roll because of his work ethic and drive to succeed. When not in class Dauntay works at Grantsburg Family Foods and sings in the school choir. His hobbies include fishing and playing video games. After graduation he plans to work in the community. Dauntay’s name was misspelled when it ran in last week’s Student of the Week section. The Sentinel staff apologizes and regrets the mistake.

Spring? Never heard of it. Spring officially starts next Wednesday. Yeah, sure it does. Remember last year when frost was over 6 feet deep and we got a blizzard in April? I was driving home from Pinko Jam thinking – “It really is happening, a blizzard in April.” Spring sports are supposed to be starting soon, which means a lot of baseball will be played in area gymnasiums for the foreseeable future. Grantsburg has their first track meet scheduled for March 26. So, athletic directors across the region will inevitably be scrambling to reschedule meets, games, and invitationals. At my house, there is about 18 inches of snow and in some spots the drift is about a foot higher, but Sentinel nobody wants to hear about that. I should note I am writing on Editor Tuesday while forecasts are Jonathan Richie coming in saying we are supposed to get up to 40 degrees and rainy conditions for almost three straight days. All indicators look like we are going to have a couple of really wet weeks. So teams will practice inside and wait for it to dry. If high school sports are not up your alley, how about professional sports. I was having a conversation with a lifelong Minnesota sports fan the other day. I run into a lot of them up here, which is making more and more sense to me every day. Up here there is more access to the Twin Cities teams than the Milwaukee Brewers or Bucks. However, I do understand not wanting to root for the Vikings. He told me the Timberwolves and Twins have not had many bright spots over the last 15 years except Joe Mauer. How do Twins fans feel not having Mauer on the team? This will be the first year since 2004 the Twins won’t have No. 7 reporting for spring training. Mauer retired last year after an impressive 15-year career all with the Twins. In that time he was elected to six all-star teams, won three gold gloves, five silver slugger awards, and was the American League MVP in 2009. A truly great career. But I am ecstatic for the upcoming Milwaukee Brewers season. Last year the team made it all the way to the National League Championship series, where they lost in seven games to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Some of you may recall I demanded the Brewers fire their manager Craig Counsell last year, but after that phenomenal season I have decided to walk that back and let him stay for another year. And finally, Milwaukee - “it’s the only major American city to have ever elected three socialist mayors,” Alice Cooper said that in Wayne’s World. Earlier this week Milwaukee was selected to host the 2020 National Democratic Convention. Way to really lean into that one Dems. JONATHAN RICHIE is the editor of the Burnett County Sentinel.

Sedentary vs. Sedimentary – a battle of wills What could go wrong? In preparation for last weekend’s storm, I attempted to clear some of the snow from the roof of my house and garage. With the record-breaking snowfall of February, the roof of our nearly 100-yearold, two story home had sprouted some impressive icicles and equally prominent ice dams. In the five winters we have spent in the home, this winter was the second time we have hired someone to come rake the snow away from the edge of the roof to prevent ice dams and the From the they can cause. Publisher’s damage According to Wikipedia, an ice Desk dam is an ice build-up on the eaves of sloped roofs of heated buildings Tom Stangl that results from melting snow under a snow pack reaching the eave and freezing there. Freezing at the eave impedes the drainage of meltwater, which adds to the ice dam and causes backup of the meltwater in a manner which may cause water leakage into the roof and consequent damage to the building and its contents if the water leaks through the roof. The snows of February were dry, which I have learned is perfect insulation and an important contributing factor to the formation of ice dams. Cold temperatures are another factor necessary to create the proper conditions for ice dams. Yup, check that off as well. So, like many other people in the area, I figured it was time to get a snow rake for my roof. If you were among those desperately looking for the unwieldy contraptions, you know that they were as hard to find as hen’s teeth. They are a fairly expensive item, one that only sells when a perfect conflagration of circum-

stances occurs, like this winter. So, it makes sense that stores were sold out. I ordered and received mine on Friday, the day before the storm. After some partial assembly, I was ready to go do battle in the snow. I readily admit that I am woefully out of shape, so when attempting tasks like raking snow off a structure ten feet or more above my head, I know it will be taxing. I learned the thought behind raking snow off your roof was to create a relatively clean area about a foot or so away from the edge of the roof. If there is a clear area, the sun’s rays, which are pretty powerful now, will strike the shingles on the roof. The shingles will heat up, melting the snow and ice and prevent the accumulation of ice and the dams that can cause havoc. So, the sedentary man went off to remove some of the layers of snow. I have noticed that with the frequent snowfalls, the snow looks like a layer cake on the roof, with clearly defined strata, much like sedimentary rocks. As I worked to saw my way through the layer cake of snow and pull it down, I was struck by how difficult it was and the ingenuity of the person who devised the first roof rake. Genius. After an hour or so, I had cleared a swath on the garage and the front and back porch of the house. I even successfully knocked down some icicles that were as tall as I am. Score one for the soon to be sore sedentary man. Here’s hoping the weather improves so no one has snowmelt in their ceilings. As always, I welcome your comments.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

How Evers’ budget tries to ‘bring back science’ to DNR Fans of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources are hoping for better times under a new governor. New Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has repeatedly said he wants to “bring back science” to the state environmental agency. He appointed a well-respected Natural Resources Board member, Preston Cole, to lead the agency. And now comes Evers’ two-year budget plan. Under the proposal, now going to the Republican-controlled state Legislature, five more science positions and a new bureau would be added to the DNR. The five positions would be charged with researching water and sources of contamination, while at least two would focus on synthetic chemicals known as PFAS that are present in things ranging from firefighting foam to food packaging. Still, the plan does not include another pledge Evers made on the campaign trail: allowing the Natural Resources Board to once again appoint the DNR secretary. Evers said last September the move would let an “independent” agency head “restore the DNR’s mission of serving the needs of all Wisconsin citizens, not just the big corporations.” But at the time he did not say he would include it in his first budget. The seven-member board is currently controlled by

appointees from then-Gov. Scott Walker. One member — former state Rep. Fred Clark — was picked by Evers to replace Cole on the panel. Evers spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff said at the beginning of March that Evers still supports giving the Natural Resources Board the power to appoint the DNR’s leader. “However, his first priority is restoring science to the DNR and beginning to fix the mess he inherited at that agency,” she said. Evers’ plan would also create a new Bureau of Natural Resources Science with a director who reports directly to the agency secretary and serves as the “science advisor,” per the budget document. In addition to the five science positions, Evers is looking to add five separate staff positions to oversee concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs. And he wants to up the $345 annual permit fee that CAFO owners who hold a water pollutant discharge elimination system permit have to pay. That fee would be increased to $660 annually beginning in the first year of the budget, according to a DNR spokesman. The budget would also create a new permit issuance fee of $3,270 for the operation of a CAFO to be implemented in the first year of the biennium, per DNR.

The language would also require CAFO operators to pay $3,270 every five years thereafter for permit reissuance. Evers’ budget does not include any provisions to increase state park fees or hunting and fishing fees. But it does propose allocating around $2.8 million over the biennium from the conservation fund for the state park system. The budget does not note how much funding each park would receive. The document also does not include any funding to specifically combat chronic wasting disease, which then-Gov. Scott Walker sought to target by pushing for an emergency rule aiming to slow its spread. The Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules ultimately voted last fall to block a portion of the rule that had placed prohibitions on the movement of deer carcasses from CWD-affected counties. JCRAR members last month officially introduced their legislation to codify the suspension.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Neubauer has no agenda Dear editor, We have a very important Wisconsin Supreme Court election coming up on April 2. I am endorsing Judge Lisa Neubauer for this important position. In fact, I am among the more than 325 Wisconsin judges from throughout the state who are supporting Judge Neubauer. I know Judge Neubauer personally and professionally. I know that during her 11 years as a Court of Appeals Judge she has consistently

Opinionated demonstrated that she is fair, impartial, and independent. Judge Neubauer is not a “liberal” nor is she a “conservative” - she has no “agenda”. She is the kind of judge we need as our next Supreme Court Justice. I urge the voters of Northwest Wisconsin to support and vote for Judge Neubauer on April 2. Thank you for your consideration. Robert Rasmussen Retired Circuit Judge, Polk County

Dear editor, I am a retired deputy sheriff and a proponent of human rights, The rights I wish to protect include my own “inalienable rights”, those granted by God, and only enumerated by law. The United States is not a democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic. One of the most critical components of our form of government is the electoral college, which keeps the wolves (cities and population dense states) from decimating the sheep (fly over states). Another key component is the constitution, and its amendments,

which I believe were written in order of importance. Free speech is paramount, followed immediately by the “Right to Bear Arms” which allows free citizens to remain free and express their opinions. Taking away free speech, by labeling it as “Hate speech,” and limiting the availability of modern, significantly equivalent armaments to those the government would have, to regular citizens, is by definition, unconstitutional.

What is going on? Dear editor, To our neighbors and lake-shore property owners. I am going to share our experiences with suggestions for change. When large lake-shore owners sell their land, here is what happens. In comes an out of area developer who wants to put new homes every 100 feet. We, the neighbors, want them at 300 feet. So, we get a petition signed and go to County Zoning and try to get our wish. The compromise has been 200 feet. What is going on? By State law the County budget can only be increased by new development. Where is the most development? Lake shore. Why do it that way? Give our State tax dollars, back to our counties like a COLA indexed to inflation. Our counties know best where to spend our monies wisely. Not doing this causes a local civil war. I

have great empathy for our county zoning leader and all the members of the Land zoning committee. When is the lake water quality considered? This should be the first item considered before land is ever looked at. The lake we are on is on the federal Impaired Waters list. Why? Yearly measured Phosphorus and Chlorine levels, caused by run off and on a developed land, increased by a factor of five. If you also have invasive weeds, which all lakes on the Trade River chain do, you get water quality levels that drive property values down. Re-zone noticing was only published in the Sentinel. Everyone who lives on the lakeshore was blindsided. Lake associations and where they fit in. All waterways owned by the public and lake-shore owners should be in one. Why? They are a special interest group with a

focus on water quality, habitat, and safety. We have our RTLIA with two experts on the subject, Matt Berg science teacher in Grantsburg, and, Dave Blumer- LEAPS, nearby. These two specialists know everything that is needed to conserve and protect our natural resources. The only item I disagree with, is taxing lake districts which puts the burden on the local taxpayers. The State has the money. We are in a high tax state with high-risk ventures which short changes counties, towns, schools, and lake associations. We have to write a grant that justifies our needs. It looks like their goal is to put us all into poverty. Rich Hess, Trade Lake

Siren ﬁnalizes plans for potential grant funds

BEACON is live and looking for lodging • • • •

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Burnett County emergency manager Jim Tolbert has connected telephone landlines in the county, and a large number of cell phones, with Burnett Emergency Alert Communication Or Notification, BEACON. The system allows residents and visitors to receive free emergency alert notifications. Tolbert said he hooked up all 9,036 landlines across the county and 450 cell phones. He is in the process of signing up campgrounds, resorts, and other lodging options to give them the ability to get emergency notifications to their guests. He is also in the process of signing up lodging establishments licensed for visitor lodging to get emergency notifications to out of county visitors. “I held a meeting (Wednesday) night and only had one person show up,” Tolbert explained. “So I’ve got to do a better job getting the message out to the public.” Residents and visitors interested in signing up for alerts can do so on the county’s website, burnettcounty.com. After signing up the list of alerts can be tailored to individual needs. Alerts include: • Severe thunderstorm warning • Tornado warning

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Shelter in place warning Wildland fire warning Law enforcement warning Hazmat warning

“Not all of the alerts are going to be for weather,” Tolbert told the Public Safety committee last week. “They could be for a missing child that would come from the sheriff’s office.” There are a number of weather watch alerts that can be sent including extreme cold watch, winter storm watch, excessive heat watch, and fire weather watch. There is also the option of signing up for a specific municipality instead of receiving county-wide alerts. Tolbert is also encouraging businesses to sign up for the system to alert their employees of potential closings due to weather. “DSI in Siren has been using it a lot during these cold stretches,” Tolbert said. “They send out a text or voice message to their employees saying ‘the office is closed today’ or ‘we’ll be opening two hours late today’ or closing early. They’re mostly simple messages like that.” Tolbert explained the system does not send out unsolicited calls or messages. For more information call 715-349-2142 and leave a message or email BEACON@ burnettcounty.org.

SIREN––The Siren Village Board approved plans by MSA to apply for a Community Development Block Grant for Public Facilities (CDBG-PF.) Village President Dave Alden said they are applying for the grant for safety reasons due to the amount of foot traffic along Highway 35 between Clear Lake and Siren School. Dave Rasmussen, senior planner, and office manager at MSA professional services outlined the plan. It would be a five-foot sidewalk staring at the Clear Lake public dock with a crosswalk on the west side of Highway 35 to the Highway 70 intersection. It also includes sidewalks off 35 going west onto Rasmussen Street leading to the Siren ballpark and on Lanquist Street that will connect with 4th Avenue and then north to Siren School. Rasmussen said the preliminary cost estimate for the project is $816,700. The CDBG grant will cover around 66 percent of the project and the rest will need to be covered by the village, meaning the village would need to come up with $270,000. About $200,000 of the project would go into installing a curb and gutters on Lanquist Street.

“Filling in that ditch on Lanquist should eliminate problems (with drainage) that we’ve dealt with for years,” said Jim Jaskolka, Siren’s public works director. He added that their snow removal equipment has a five-foot-wide clearing on it and would fit with the potential new sidewalk. Alden asked Rasmussen about contingency costs for construction supplies. Rasmussen replied saying the village can put the total cost as $900,000 in the grant application and then the village would need to come up with $300,000. After the application is completed and before it is submitted the village will need to hold a public hearing on the project which would be in either April or May. IN OTHER ITEMS: • The board had a few suggestions for Jaskolka about snow removal spots where driver visibility is limited due to the snow piles in the village. The board also thanked him for the outstanding work he and his crew have done keeping up with the snow storms this winter. • Sheriff Tracy Finch is expected to make an appearance at the April meeting to discuss the Village Police Department working with the Sheriff’s office.

PUBLIC SAFETY: Sheriff’s department signs mutual aid agreement with Tribal PD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

released by the sheriff’s office showed Deputy Mitchell Olson and Tracker were deployed five times leading to two arrests. “We are seeing that arrests for marijuana are leading to other things and that’s a positive sign,” he said. One of the arrests was south of Grantsburg which lead to a vehicle and

residential search. The report said both searches led to 17 items of drug paraphernalia, including smoking devices, digital scales, and packaging equipment being seized. They also led to over 80 grams of marijuana being seized. Wiltrout said the sheriff’s office has officially signed a mutual aid agreement with the St. Croix Tribal Police Department. He explained that both departments are short-handed a major-

ity of the time, so they will continue to work together. “(Mutual aid) works both ways. They ask for us for help, and we ask them,” he said. “It’s a give and take relationship. It’s working very well right now.” Wiltrout also briefly discussed staffing issues in the department, calling it a nationwide problem. He said they are hoping to hire four road deputies with two beginning training right away. They are also looking at hiring another staff member to work in the jail. He also touched on the recent increase in crime across the county. “Crime has its peaks and valleys, right now it’s at a peak. Right now it’s

cabin fever for them. People are stuck inside,” Wiltrout said. “It’s like putting two rats in a hot box – they’re going to fight.” Before the meeting adjourned Ehalt explained that the county is starting a task force to look into public safety facility needs across the county. He intends for the task force to be a standing item on the committee’s agenda to give updates on their discussions. “We will be looking globally at options for what services public safety needs to offer,” Ehalt said. “Over the next six months, we will be going over ideas and potential opportunities for better public safety facilities in the county.”

Grantsburg changes ordinance for food trucks JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––Grantsburg Village officials voted Monday night to modify their food truck fees to allow a seasonal rate for food trucks. The vote was 5-1 with trustee Mike Longhenry voting against. He said allowing outside food trucks to come in hurts local businesses that already sell food downtown. The village will now charge a flat rate of $300 for a season or a food truck can pay $20 per week and an extra $5 per day. This means if a food truck is parked by the brewery two days a week they will be charged $30 and if parked on the street for four days in a single week they will be charged $40. Ben and Nicki Peterson, owners of Brickfield Brewing at 130 W. Olson Drive in Grantsburg, were on the agenda to ask the board to reconsider the fees they collect from food trucks. Nicki explained to the board that one food truck parked outside their brewery could pay as much as $900 in fees in a single season.

She brought rates from other towns that allow food trucks. She said Spooner charges a seasonal rate of $100 and Webster charges $10 per day. Brickfield Brewing does not serve food, but they do encourage their customers to order food from local businesses. Nicki added they have local restaurants’ menus in their taproom. The brewery plans to have food trucks from mid-March to November. “Our main goal is to pull people off the highway and get them to stop in a place that they probably never would have stopped,” Ben told the board. He also told the board if any of the trustees were to drive past the brewery they would not see many Wisconsin license plates. Village President Larry Ebersold said the traffic the brewery brings in to the village helps everybody. “We’re getting people up from the south side of the cities,” he continued. “And they are looking for a variety in what to eat in town and food trucks are a great option.”

AIRPORT MANAGER Rod Kleiss is hoping to become the Grantsburg Airport manager. The board said the airport has never had a formal manager. “The airport is important to the village and it needs a manager,” Kleiss said. “Grantsburg’s airport now has a courtesy car and this makes us a more recognized airport in the area.” Kleiss said he would do the job for free and would mostly be helping with paperwork for day to day operations. “As a manager, I would have more authority,” Kleiss said. “One instance is making a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) when it snows that would tell pilots that everything is grounded until the snow is removed.” He said the airport needs to be cracksealed this summer and eventually the runway will have to be completely resurfaced. He added having an airport manager would help with negotiations involving entitlement money. Trustees Greg Peer and Russell Stone both brought up the issue of liability and wanted more time to look into it.

The rest of the board agreed, and it will be reviewed by the airport committee at their next meeting. POLICE REPORT Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing said the department took part in three septate search warrants in the last month. He was also called to the Dollar General for retail theft. “The guy put on a coat and was just brazenly walking around putting stuff in his coat,” Schinzing said. “The employees couldn’t believe he tried walking out with a coat obviously full of stuff he didn’t walk in with.” He said they wrote down his license plate and the police were able to catch him shortly after leaving the store. IN OTHER ITEMS: The board approved SEH’s proposal to inspect the south water tower. This has to be done every 10 years. It is expected to cost not more than $4,200.

NACF Resilience Workshop Resilience. What is it? Is it really important? How can resilience in each of us be strengthened? On Feb. 28, 40 educators, nonprofit leaders, and the public gathered at the Polk County Government Center to explore these questions. The workshop was sponsored through a partnership of the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation (NACF), the Mental Health Task Force of Polk County, and Northwest Passage. “Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress.” Angela Frederickson and Ian Karl, both program staff at Northwest Passage, and Chris Crowe, chairman of the board at the Mental Health Task Force made lively presentations and gave insightful answers to audience questions. The three presenters explained that there are “protective factors,” which strengthen resilience in youth and adults. These factors are: Time Spent in Nature, Service to Others, Relaxation, Relationships, Recreation, Nutrition, Exercise, and Spirit. Devoting time to each of these factors and encouraging others to do so, builds and strengthens resilience so each of us can thrive in a chaotic world. Said NACF board member, Jennifer Turrentine, “I hadn’t realized that strengthening resilience in a person requires such a holistic approach. But, it makes sense.” For additional information on the Northwest Passage’s PassageWay protective factors: http://nwpltd. org/passageway / For information on the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation workshops: http://www.northwestalliancecf.org/ For information on the Mental Health Task Force of Polk County: http://mentalhealthpolk.org/

It was amazing to see how the sun helped melt a lot of it right away. Here’s hoping spring is coming soon. Here are some fun facts about St. Patrick’s Day you might be interested to know. The very first St. Patrick’s Day Parade was in Bos-

ton, not Ireland, in 1737. In Chicago every year, the Plumbers Local 110 union dyes the river “Kelly” green. The dye lasts for about five hours. Guinness sales soar on St. Patrick’s Day. Recent figures show that 5.5 million pints of the black stuff are downed around the world every day. On St. Patrick’s Day that figure is doubled. For many years, blue was the color most often associated with St. Patrick. Green was considered unlucky. St. Patrick’s blue was considered symbolic of Ireland for many centuries and the Irish Presidential Standard is still blue. There are 10,000 three leaf clovers for every four leaf clover. There are no female leprechauns in traditional folk tales. And of

course there is the food. We offer Wi-Fi, coffee, and goodies, and check out the book nook. Questions on meal reservations, hall rentals, or other requests, call the center at 715-463-2940 or email us at gburg118@gmail.com.

The decorating crew came in and changed the decorations from Valentines and hearts to green hats and shamrocks. It looks very nice. The decorating crew was Barb Geske, Diane Norman, and Nona Severson. Did you remember to change your clocks one hour ahead for daylight saving time? You have to spring ahead for spring and fall back for fall. I like to have the extra hour of daylight. Last week we had a special guest at our 500 card game. Jim Anderson brought in his two month old grandson and we all enjoyed him. He was the first baby born at St. Croix Regional Medical Center in 2019. We told Jim he could bring

his grandson back any time. Sue Christensen was the bingo winner. I believe she got $18.00. I think this is the third time she has won the big pot. Our 500 winners were Wade Rufsholm, Dave Peterson, Pat Bresina, and Neil Olson. Jim Anderson got the 9 bid. Spade winners were John LaFond, Candace Doriott, and Ben Anderson. Anke Olesen got the 9 bid. Be careful on the ice. With rain being forecast and cooler temps coming, the ice will be building up. We don’t want any broken bones.

The park’s chief of planning and resource management, Julie Van Stappen, says officials found the ice sheet along the length of caves “really fractured” and rough. She tells Minnesota Public Radio News the snow is also insulating the ice, so instead of hard, solid ice, the team encountered soft, porous, slushy ice. The ice caves were last accessible to the public in 2014 and 2015. But warm weather since then has prevented the formation of ice thick enough to support throngs of visitors.

Beaver costume EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Jane Weber, our MuseumMobile educator, recently developed three new lessons for our fifth grade classroom visits. In the fall, students learned about whitetailed deer, and practiced deciphering a deer’s age by the teeth in cleaned jawbones. For our winter visit, we dressed two students up like fish, and compared the adaptations of prey fish (sharp spines, laterally compressed bodies, and eyes on the sides of their heads) with predator fish (sharp teeth, torpedo shaped bodies, and eyes on the front of their head.) Now, for our spring lesson, we were about to learn about beavers. Like all animals, beavers have an impressive suite of adaptations that help them survive in their habitat. As teachers, Jane and I have adapted to a fifth-grader’s sense of humor, and designed the lesson around dressing a kid up like a beaver. I started with the feet. Beavers’ hind feet are webbed, of course, to help propel them through the water. Oddly, they also have a split nail on their second toe, which acts like a comb for spreading oil through their fur and removing debris. That oil is very important to beavers as they swim underneath the ice all winter long. Without it, they would be wet and chilled to the bone. So, after fastening two giant foam webbed feet around my victim…er, volunteer’s ankles, I also handed her a photo of an oil can. Two brown gloves went on next. Beavers have surprisingly dexterous hands which they use to bring mud to their dam and lodge, to hold twigs while eating, and to dig out deeper channels for swimming. The class roared with laughter when I pulled a fancy faux fur jacket out of my tub. These students have been growing up in our MuseumMobile program since they were in pre-K, and some of them remembered feeling tthe soft pelt of a beaver in ttheir early years. Jane had sneakily sewn a strip of Velcro under the b back hem of the jacket. T To this, I affixed a giant, flat, brown beaver tail, w which also got a laugh. I a also pulled a real (dried) b beaver tail out of my tub tto show around the class. T They had also seen this in k kindergarten, but beaver ttails never get old. Of c course one kid peered at tthe cut end and exclaimed iin disgust. Beavers use ttheir tails for fat storage, a and the now desiccated ffat isn’t exactly pretty. EMILY STONE B But it was useful when A 5th grader at Drummond the beaver was alive. That Elementary shows off her fat fuels their metabolism beaver adaptations during during the long winter to a MuseumMobile lesson last help them stay warm. week. The students easily

came up with three more uses for a beaver’s tail: swimming rudder, warning signal, and a kick-stand to help them balance when cutting down trees. Their tails also help beavers dive quickly under the surface, and help them stay cool in the summer. One thing a beaver tail is not useful for: patting mud onto their dam and lodge. Only cartoon beavers do that. Before handing our beaver her Mardi Gras-style mask on a stick, I brought out a real beaver skull. This is not the first time these students have seen that exact skull. It is neat to provide continuity through the years. In kindergarten they have their first introduction to beavers, admire the skull, and feel a stick that’s been de-barked by a beaver’s teeth. In second grade we bring out the beaver skull to illustrate how the teeth of an herbivore differ from those of a carnivore. In fourth grade, when we dissect owl pellets and find lots of little mouse skulls, I show the beaver skull as a bigger example of a rodent’s orange front teeth. Today we look more closely at the skull, and talk about the iron that stains the teeth orange, giving them added strength. We also note that the eyes, ears, and nose of a beaver are all sitting right at the top of its head. Even while swimming with their body completely submerged, beavers can have all their senses attuned to danger. Before I hand our volunteer her mask, I ask the kids how many of them use goggles for swimming. Beavers have built in googles, I tell them, and of course we are all jealous. I have never met a pair of goggles I like. But beavers have a third, clear eyelid, called a nictitating membrane. It protects their eyes from debris while they swim. I show the class a clear plastic lens covering the eyes of our beaver mask, then hand it over to our busy beaver. The last prop is a pair of ear muffs. Water in your eyes is not the only issue. Beavers have valves in both their ears and nostrils to keep water out while diving. Now we are all seriously jealous, as we commiserate over how terrible it feels to get water up your nose or stuck in your ears while swimming. Beavers may look a little odd, but they have some sweet tricks up their fur. Our completed beaver now spins slowly to show off her adaptations, and we applaud her cooperation before dismantling the costume. Then I pass out bingo cards filled with pictures of animals. The dams beavers build, and the ponds that fill in behind them, are incredibly valuable habitat for countless species. I start calling off animals that rely on beavers: songbirds, wood ducks, kingfishers, mink, dragonflies, great blue herons, deer, pileated woodpeckers, and water lilies. At this point, the entire class is on their edge of their seats, just needing one more square to win. Of course, I am chuckling to myself, because I designed three different bingo cards that would all win at the same time. “Leopard frog!” I call, and the class erupts. As I clean up my supplies and wrap up the class, I am still chuckling to myself. “Bingo,” I think to myself. Jane did a great job designing a lesson to teach fifth-graders about the amazing adaptations of beavers.

Sentinel All-County Girls Basketball team chosen GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

My, where have December, January and February gone? I am not necessarily referring to the “winter” months of the aforementioned time period … the cold, the snow, the long dark nights. But I am talking about the basketball season here in the North Country. It seems that the middle of the school year has gone by so quickly, and here we are going through the “lull” or the “interim” period before spring sports. We have had a lot of fun during this girls basketball season even if it wasn’t what we all expected or wanted it to be. In any event, the Sentinel Sports Team gathered to determine those ladies of the court who stood out amongst the best in our coverage area. They are the ones selected for the All-County Basketball team. Our First Team members include Hannah McDowell and Julia Gavin (Webster), Paetyn McKnight (Siren), and Olivia Ohnstad and Brooke Quimby (Grantsburg). Hannah, a sophomore, had a 12.5 ppg

average with five rebounds a game. According to her coach, she was “our best offensive threat, for sure.” She had games of 31, 25, 22 and 21 points. For Julia, she had 10 points per game with 9.7 rebounds a game almost averaging a double-double. Captain Paetyn McKnight had an eight ppg, two rebounds per game and 2.4 assists per game average. “She was our main guard this year,” said her coach. “When she played well, so did we. She made All-Conference second team this year.” “I believe Olivia Ohnstad was the best player in the county,” voiced her coach. “She averaged 14.6 points per game, she had 201 rebounds, 59 assists and 81 steals. She could shut down almost anyone she personally guarded. She was our general on the floor and we could be competitive when she was having a great game.” Brooke Quimby averaged 15.89 points per game, had 108 rebounds, 58 assists and 73 steals. “She became a great defender and when she got hot from the outside, we were right there in every game.” Our All-County Honorable Mention

list includes Makena Buffington (Webster), Cassie Maslow (Siren) and Olivia Brock (Grantsburg). Makena had a 5.7 points per game average and was tenacious on defense. Cassie scored nine points per game with seven rebounds. “When she was on the floor, she made us very competitive,” related her coach. Olivia had a 6.5 point per game average and showed determination and drive. Our “Players to Watch” are Brooke Hetfeld (Webster), Hannah Lemieux and Madison Thiex (Siren) and Sarah Chenal (Grantsburg). Brooke “really came up strong late in the season,” commented her coach, “and was playing her best basketball in the playoffs. She came off the bench for a 5.0 and 5.1 points/rebounds per game average. Look for her to play a large role in our success next season.” Hannah Lemieux averaged 7.5 points per game and made 34 three-point shots. “She was our best shooter this year,” added her coach. Madison Thiex showed power in the paint with rebounding and close shooting ability.

Sarah Chenal “was our second-leading rebounder,” reported her coach. “She is very strong on the boards, quick, and when she gains some confidence, she will be tough to stop. Sarah averaged only 2.4 points per game, but she had 135 rebounds and shot 53 percent from the line as a freshman.” And there it is. What do you think? Thank you, All-County Team for your efforts this year. They didn’t go unnoticed. Thanks go to the remainder of the players who gave of themselves and to the coaches who guided these players. Many thanks go to the parents and families who supported their daughters during the good times and the not-sogood times. And thanks are given to the fans who cheered so proudly for their teams. The players, coaches and parents really appreciate you. Have a great offseason, everyone and until then … “Basketball is like photography; if you don’t focus, all you have is the negative.” – Dan Frisby

Evers won’t force wedding barns to get liquor licenses TODD RICHMOND

MADISON— Gov. Tony Evers’ administration won’t force wedding barns to obtain liquor licenses, his spokeswoman said Friday, in a move that could defuse a lawsuit seeking to force state regulators to leave barn operators alone. Former Attorney General Brad Schimel threw wedding barns’ future into question in November when he issued an informal opinion saying private events held in public spaces require liquor licenses. State law prohibits owners of public places from allowing alcohol without a license. But the statutes don’t define a public place. Two Wisconsin farmers who rent out their barns for weddings filed a lawsuit in Dunn County in January seeking to ensure wedding barns don’t need to obtain liquor licenses, which can

cost $10,000. They’re seeking a ruling that events on private property don’t require licenses. Evers spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff said in emails Friday that the state Department of Revenue hasn’t required wedding barns to get liquor licenses in the past and Evers doesn’t want to change that stance. She didn’t immediately respond to a follow-up email inquiring about the basis for Evers’ position. The conservative law firm Wisconsin Institute for Law Melissa Baldauff and Liberty, or Evers spokeswoman

The state Department of Revenue hasn’t required wedding barns to get liquor licenses in the past.

WILL, is representing the farmers in the lawsuit. The firm issued a statement Friday saying it’s “heartened” by Evers’ declaration that he won’t require wedding barns to get licenses. The statement stopped short of saying the farmers would drop the lawsuit, though. “We trust that this matter will promptly be resolved in a manner that provides wedding barn owners and couples with the certainty that they can continue with their business and plans for special events,” the statement said. Asked directly whether the farmers will drop the lawsuit, WILL spokesman Brian Reisinger provided a statement from WILL President Rick Esenberg, who said the firm will consult with the farmers on the next step and reach out to state attorneys to see “whether the matter can be put to rest.” Republicans, who control the state

Legislature, proposed a bill last session that would have required private property owners who rent out their space for an event to have a liquor license. The measure won support from the powerful Tavern League of Wisconsin. The league has argued that wedding barns should compete under the same rules as bars and taverns. The bill died in the state Senate after WILL complained the proposal could end tailgating. State Rep. Rob Swearingen, a past tavern league president and chairman of a special joint legislative committee studying alcohol enforcement, asked Schimel for his interpretation of statutes governing liquor licenses in public and private places. Both Swearingen and Schimel are Republicans. Schimel issued his opinion on Nov. 16, just 10 days after he lost re-election.

Q. Why are my teeth getting darker as I age?

Dr. Heather Marks Dr

Dr. Rollyn Lee

A. Teeth become darker from external and internal color changes.

External stains are caused by certain foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine), as well as tobacco products. External stains can often be removed with a good professional cleaning. Internal color changes are caused by the inside dentin layer of the tooth becoming darker and thicker as we age. To improve internal changes, over the counter whitening strips or professional whitening at a dental office is necessary. If you would like to discuss your options to keep your teeth bright and healthy, give us a call!

Q. Are colonoscopies really that important? A. A colonoscopy can be done as a screening for

colon cancer and other problems. Colorectal cancer Melinda Deye, NP is the fourth most common cancer in the United States and the second leading cause of death from cancer. Colorectal cancer can affect anyone and is most often found in people ages 50 and older. The best way to prevent colorectal cancer is to get a colonoscopy regularly starting at age 50. There are often no signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer – that’s why it’s so important to get screened. You may have a higher risk if you are African American, smoke, or have a family history of colorectal cancer. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

Q. How do I know if now is the right time

Q. Which one of the Four Cornerstones

to buy?

Obviously, buying a home can be a scary Len Chute process. Let a real estate agent take that fear out of it for you. Often times, buying a home is a more affordable option than renting, and in the end you have homeownership. As we watch the financial markets, all economic indicators are pointing to an increase in interest rates soon. As those interest rates rise, the payment you will have will also rise, which in turn will limit your buying power and the choices you will have for houses. You can afford more now than when the interest rates go up.

Throughout his life, Paul enjoyed hunting, fishing, ice fishing, canoing, orienteering, and camping. Holidays were routinely spent in Sand Lake Township in Webster, with relatives joining together for the annual gun deer season. Paul served in the U.S. Navy as a medical corpsman from 1970-1975. He spent a year aboard the USS Kitty Hawk, CV-63, on deployment to the Gulf of Tonkin.

After leaving the Navy, Paul completed training as a medical technologist at University of Wisconsin-Parkside, working subsequently for a few hospitals. In 1983 he moved to Madison to begin a doctoral training program in pathology. After two years he left the program to work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center. In 1993 he married Sarah L. Bro, then of Madison. Over the 21 years they were together, Sarah and Paul shared a military life of travel and adventure, residing in Maryland and Thailand.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

Wisconsin child care centers face worker shortage MADISON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Child care directors across Wisconsin are struggling to find and retain workers, an issue thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s further reducing the availability of care, advocates said. Over half of Wisconsin children live in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;child care desert,â&#x20AC;? where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one slot of licensed child care for every three children, according to research conducted by the liberal Center for American Progress. Several counties, such as Washburn, Sawyer, and Iron, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any licensed child care providers at the time the reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data was collected. Many child care providers and industry experts blame the worker shortage on poor benefits and wages, as well as low unemployment, Wiscon-

sin Public Radio reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of these sort of odd scenarios where the stronger Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy is, unfortunately, the harder it is to keep people working in early childhood programs,â&#x20AC;? said Ruth Schmidt, executive director of the Wisconsin Early Childhood Association. The average child care worker in Wisconsin earns $10.33 an hour, and most centers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay their employees more. Child care teachers on average have pursued more degrees than the typical Wisconsin worker, but make below the median wage for workers with the same education level. The average child care teacher with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in early childhood

education makes $12 an hour, which is less than a Wisconsin worker with only a high school diploma, according to the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 workforce study. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also nearly half of the overall median wage for a Wisconsin worker with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree. Meanwhile, just 17 percent of child care teachers are eligible for and receive health insurance from their employers, according to the report. Many industry leaders said child care providers are paid like babysitters, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lack of understanding about the role these centers play in early childhood development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things that I always say is if people really understood what is happening in the brain in the first

five years, our infant-toddler teachers and our preschool teachers would be the highest paid folks around,â&#x20AC;? said Abbi Kruse, founder and executive director of The Playing Field in Madison. Kruse said 89 percent of the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue goes to staff salaries and benefits. The center would have to charge families higher tuition to raise teacher pay, Kruse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime we raise tuition rates, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking that directly out of the pockets of families,â&#x20AC;? Kruse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are these teachers worth more? Absolutely. Can families afford to pay more? Absolutely not.â&#x20AC;?

Nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect, but God forgives

Pastor Jeff Jowers First Baptist Webster

When we hear things like â&#x20AC;&#x153;well, no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectâ&#x20AC;? it is easy to dismiss it and move on. However, there is truth there whether we like it or not. Everyone has felt the pull to do something we should not and done it. Everyone has had a chance to do the right thing and did not. This has been on my heart lately for a variety of reasons. One is that I see people who have made those mistakes and then let that define them. It may be that feeling guilty is overwhelming, or someone adopts a label others put on them. Either way, it is a sad thing to me.

I hate to see people living with the weight of their past on their shoulders or with a label someone put on them to keep them from moving forward. To be sure, sin is serious and has consequences. However, sin is never the end of the story. After listing off sins that had defined the people of Corinth, Paul wrote this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.â&#x20AC;? (1 Corinthians 6:11) This is good news. You do not have to car-

Because He died and rose, sin does not have to define you anymore. Through faith in Him, you are washed and set apart with the power of the Spirit. You are no exception. Of course you have sinned.

Mad City Money comes to Siren Siren High School seniors participated in Mad City Money, February 20, at the Lodge at Crooked Lake. Students were given a life scenario and had to create a budget, visit different vendors, and make deci-

sions about what to purchase. The students learn a lot about how much it costs to live - one comment from students was that kids are expensive. This event was sponsored by Indianhead Credit Union.
