Summerfest beleaguered by summer rain LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

SIREN—In every life, a little rain must fall. But it didn’t completely wash out the fun at Siren Summerfest. “Even though the weather was damp, it did not dampen the spirits of all those that came to Saturday’s Siren Summerfest to join in the fun!” said Chris Moeller, Executive Director of the Siren Chamber of Commerce. She also shared that although some activities got moved due to the weather, lots of fun was still had. Bethany Lutheran Church’s Pie and Ice Cream Social on Friday, Aug. 3 started Summerfest out on a high note. Unnamed sources close to the event shared that the Sunday church crowd was going to be unhappy at the lack of leftovers. Only three pies and a smattering of loose pieces were left when they cut off serving at 4 p.m. The chalk art competition was new this year and took a blow from the precipitation. Originally venued at the old Fourwinds parking lot, a last-minute move to the Crooked Lake Park Pavilion kept the event going. There were two stunning entries to the contest, so

hopefully next year we can see some stiff competition. The flea market sought shelter from the rain at the Lodge Center Arena, which didn’t seem to suffer as much. Bargain hunters filled the parking lot to check out the jewelry, quilts, and other products offered for sale. A few blocks down, the sidewalk sales and car show had a fair number of browsers. Perhaps the biggest crowd was gathered around the Crooked Lake boat landing to watch the selection for the Siren/Webster Rotary Club’s Lucky Ducky Retrieve. It appeared most of the excitement was watching the retrievers-on-duty, Jimmer and Hootch, select and bring back rubber ducks. With around 50 prizes to give out, the dogs got a lot of encouragement from their young fans. Later Saturday evening, Siren crowned it’s newest royalty for the 2019 season. Karlee Sybers was crowned Miss Siren, with Hailie Hunter as Miss Siren Princess. Chloe Bergeron was named Junior Miss Siren. Alex Benson is Little Miss Siren for 2019, with Addy Bergeron serving as Little Miss Siren Princess. And rounding out the court is Siren Ambassador, Ben Lahmann.

SIREN —When you look at the SOFTEC site, it doesn’t seem like the place to go to learn about heavy equipment operation.

BURNETT COUNTY –– Election season is underway and part of the season means political signs in yards and on the side of the road. But do you know that a large chunk of those signs are placed illegally in the right of way? Highway Commissioner Michael Hoefs, explained at the latest Infrastructure committee meeting that these signs, along with garage and yard sale signs are also being placed illegally in the county. “There are people putting

their garage sale signs on the stop sign poles,” Hoefs said. “And that is illegal.” According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT), the initial fine for placing signs in the right of way is based on the seriousness of the offense and ranges from $10-$500, with the subsequent violations substantially higher. All public roads have a right of way, it is the land underneath and alongside the road. The maintaing authority holds the rights to so they can properly operate and maintain the road.

SOFTEC: ‘It’s amazing where training has come from.’ - Sen. Schachtner CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Burnett County government local businesses and educators seeks to provide a local space for students to learn practical skills that are in demand with businesses such as McNally Industries, the Nexen Group, Monarch Paving, and Division 8 Products. “We go to businesses and find out what their needs and trends are,” said Executive Director Tim D’Jock. “Businesses get people in, and they need on-the-job training. It would be nice if students could have some practice, then jump in and pick it up a little quicker on the job.” At their open house on Aug. 2, SOFTEC and WITC showcased many potential offerings, but the star of the open house was the CAT® simulator, which uses virtual reality technology to mimic the experience of operating a large piece of equipment. D’Jock explained why. “It’s so real. And every action is recorded, so every time (the students) do it, they get a score, so they can see how they did. The CAT® simulator is great because if you’re banging around in a real piece of equipment, you’re breaking pins and stuff.” Senator Patty Schachtner

echoed those sentiments on Friday after taking a turn on the CAT® simulator, learning to run an excavator with some help from Lucas D’Jock, 12, of Siren. “I can see where this is safer,” Schachtner said, as Lucas directed her in the operation of the controls to pick up aggregate and deposit it into the virtual dump truck. Lucas is part of the target market that SOFTEC is aiming at. While

the training center is open to people of all ages and backgrounds, D’Jock says introducing young people to these careers is a priority to keep vital human resources local. “They call it brain drain,” D’Jock shares. “We have some really good kids here, and when they leave, they don’t come back until they’re old. The big thing is we can bring younger kids in and start training them. Monarch had

RIGHT OF WAY: Department sees abundance of election signs pop up in illegal spots, commissioner cites safety issue that impairs drivers vision CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The maintaining authority is the DOT for state highways, Hoefs’ department has the authority with county highways, and towns and villages are the authority of their roadways. He added that his department is doing the best they can to take these signs down and tell the owners they can pick up their signs from the highway department. “The primary danger with having signs in the highway right of way is the potential of impairing vision at intersections and driveways,” Hoefs said. “They can also be a distraction to motorists. They are also a hindrance to highway maintenance activities such as roadside mowing, and can be hazardous if struck by the mower.” Another aspect of the right of way issue is advertising. “The regulations are also intended limit the amount of advertising along

a CAT® simulator at the Polk County Fair, and they had a lot of interest. It gets people interested, and they realize that there may be a job out there for them.” SOFTEC is working on partnering with the school districts for training offerings, and the CESA 11 (Cooperative Educational Service Agency) Young Apprenticeship program is watching carefully. Many apprenticeship jobs require OSHA and First Aid

training, and if students can get that training at SOFTEC, they are at an advantage. Eventually, SOFTEC hopes to add on to the building. The plans include two large spaces nestled behind the current structure. The first of these would create a maker space/ tech lab where students can hone their skills on simulators for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining and welding applications as well as having a home for the CAT® simulator. Behind that will be a business incubator, a larger space where D’Jock envisions businesses “spotting something in the Tech Lab they want. Then they can set (the students) up in the incubator to get more practice with the result being a salable product.” Course offerings are in development at this time, but D’Jock shared that SOFTEC is planning on offering courses with the CAT® simulator soon. They were given the green light to keep the trainer for a semester and want to waste no time grading a path to success. For more information on current course offerings, go to courses.witc.edu, select “Siren” as the location. For more information on SOFTEC’s future offerings, contact Tim D’Jock at 715-688-9629 or timdjock@ hotmail.com.

highways,” Hoefs said. “If the regulations did not exist every business would likely place signs along highways to maximize their exposure, thus adding clutter to the sides of the highways primarily the most frequently travelled routes.” Hoefs said that many businesses have gone through this process by contacting the proper authority and gaining approval to erect signs near the roadway. So when new businesses put out signs and don’t follow the proper process for erecting signs it gives them an unfair advantage and it’s illegal. “I would encourage people to contact the County Highway Department or Land Services Department if they have questions about placing signs along highways whether or not the desire is to place the sign in the highway right of way or adjacent to the right of way,” Hoefs said. “The county’s sign regulations ordinance is very informative.” 2018

Little brothers “Everything I do, I do it for you” This past weekend I was in Milwaukee for my little brother’s wedding. I am the middle of three sons, and I am officially the last bachelor of the infamous Richie Bros. of Menomonee Falls. Joshua (younger) and Matthew (older) often teamed up against me in the 90s and early 2000s. The theory was the average strength of the two of them equaled my strength. It’s part of the reason I have confidence issues, but don’t have any issue being piled up on or teamed up against. Joshua Wilt is two years younger than me and has always been the runt of the litter. Matthew and I are built like offensive lineman and he is built more like a cross country runner. Our prime was around 2002 Matthew was brute force; I was funny; and Joshua spoke too fast for people to understand him. Strangers would ask me to translate for him and then they would Sentinel say something to the effect of ‘he should be an auctioneer when he Editor grows up.’ That didn’t happen, he’s Jonathan Richie a math teacher in the Milwaukee Public School System. Joshua married his lovely bride, Elizabeth, at Trinity United Church of Christ in Brookfield on Saturday surrounded by family members that I have not seen in years. When Bryan Adams hit “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” started playing at the reception I did something I rarely do, sprint onto the dance floor. Once there I grabbed Josh-man’s (our nickname for him growing up) shoulders and he took my hips and we had our first brother-brother dance. We have a difficult relationship and I had not talked with him for maybe two years before Saturday. So I gave him the best advice I could, be happy. I told him that it doesn’t matter what I think about your life or what others say, if you’re happy that is good enough for me. Then some other heartwarming stuff happened when the song turned up a notch when I yelled with Adams’ recording, “Don’t tell me it’s not worth fighting for.” Joshua was picked on in school because he was a little weird ,and kids can be real jerks. I stood up for him the best I could. I don’t know if he remembers that or not, but I did my best to protect him. At the end of the reception, I mentioned how I am a spectacular uncle. I explained in great detail that even though I live five hours away, I have not heard one complaint about my uncle duties. I was the best man at Matthew’s wedding in 2012. Since then, I have become an uncle twice to a niece and nephew - she is a firecracker of a four-year-old and he is cheeky baby boy who turned one in June. My goal is to be the greatest uncle of all time and I’m pretty sure I’m right on track with that. Lastly, I was at the Brewers game on Friday and it was awesome. Got to do some real tailgating and had awesome seats for Eric Thames’ walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs. Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. See ya next week.

Bee mindful The summer seems to be slipping away. We are losing about three minutes of daylight a day now as the planet continues its tilt, guiding us away from the sun. The sun rises later, sets earlier. I heard the cicadas singing weeks ago, and have noticed some leaves on trees and some sumacs beginning to change, more signs that the From the Publisher’s times are changing. Desk But the weather of last week was Tom Stangl so very pleasant, f f spending some time in perfect for the back yard, grilling something for supper and simply enjoying being outdoors. One of the things I have noticed this summer is a couple of bees that are spending time buzzing around our flowers in the yard. The bees are a welcome sight and having what appears to be the same two or three spending time is somehow comforting to me. Bees have been in trouble for decades. Their numbers are in flux and there are many theories about what is happening to them. It could be parasites, it could be pesticides, it could be a lack of

plants and flowers for them to feed upon. Climate change? Perhaps. I don’t know what is happening to them – I will leave that to minds greater than mine. I do know that there are several things that common folk like you and I can do to help. Plant bee friendly plants. In spring – lilacs, penstemon, lavender, sage, verbena, and wisteria. In summer – mint, cosmos, squash, tomatoes, pumpkins, sunflowers, oregano, rosemary, poppies, blackeyed Susan, passion flower vine and honeysuckle. In fall – fuschia, mint, bush sunflower, sage, verbena, and toadflax. This isn’t a magic list, but if you can plant a variety of colorful flowers and be patient, you may have some bees. Limit or curtail the use of pesticides. There are other ways to kill plants you don’t want in your lawn or garden. They may involve more work, but in the end it’s more healthy for everyone. A tip that I found online while doing research for this column surprised me initially, but after thinking about it made perfect sense — have a source of fresh water. A bird bath with some rocks in it for bees to crawl upon is suggested. Another way that everyone can help is to find and purchase local

produce and honey. Local farmers who raise food depend on patronage, the same is true of beekeepers. These locally produced foods may be a bit more expensive, but look at the price difference as an investment in the community and your health. Understand that some farmers may not have gone through the rigorous and expensive process to be certified as organic, but may be doing many things right for the environment and for bees. They deserve your patronage. We all need to do what we can – and we can do a lot – to help the bees. Without them and their work, it is estimated that human life would be threatened within as few as four years. We need their help to live, they need ours. It only makes sense that we should do all we can. I’m happy to see a couple bees in my back yard and will do what I can to have more in the coming years. In the meantime, I plan on enjoying the back yard as much as I can. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

It all adds up to a sticky situation for the Republican-run state Senate, which is mulling a push to give Foxconn-like incentives to Kimberly-Clark to save jobs in the Fox Valley. Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Aug. 1 the Senate GOP caucus had a “productive” discussion over a plan to offer tax incentives to encourage Kimberly-Clark to keep a Fox Valley plant open. But he didn’t commit to a vote on the package, which has already drawn opposition from Sen. Chris Kapenga, R-Delafield. With an 18-15 majority, Fitzgerald couldn’t lose any more GOP votes and still pass the bill unless Republicans could draw Democratic support for the package. “Like anything else that comes before the Senate, we will be deliberative in determining the best path forward to keep our paper industry strong,” Fitzgerald said. Kimberly-Clark earlier this year announced plans to close two Wisconsin plans, cutting 600 jobs. The GOP-run Assembly in February approved a package that included Foxconn-type incentives to keep the plant open. After recently reaching an agreement on concessions with a union, the company said it was in a position to consider state incentives to keep open one of the plants that employs about 450. Sen. Roger Roth, R-Appleton, whose district includes the plants, has said he can’t recall a tax incentive package being passed

without bipartisan support, and called on Democrats to get behind the effort. He said preserving “high-paying union jobs” is the responsibility of both parties. “It’s important that this is a bipartisan deal, that the Legislature comes together,” he said in urging quick action. The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has listed 17 seats that it will target in an attempt to flip eight legislative chambers throughout the country. That list includes Wisconsin’s 17th Senate District in southwestern Wisconsin, held by Republican Howard Marklein, and Roth’s 19th Senate District. But some have raised concerns that approving the package would set a precedent for other companies considering layoffs to seek similar tax breaks from the state. Kapenga told “UpFront with Mike Gousha,’’ a WisPolitics.com partner, that his opposition to the deal is a matter of both principal and policy over the role of government when it comes to businesses. He said the government shouldn’t give one company an unfair advantage by it helping it over others. Kapenga voted for the Foxconn plan. But he said Foxconn, which is building a massive plant in Racine County, is a “fundamentally different industry that’s going to bring new jobs to the state.” In contrast, Kapenga said papermaker Kimberly-Clark is looking at closing multiple plants in a business that’s shrinking. “You have a contracting industry,” Kapenga said about Kimberly-Clark. “You’re not providing incentives to increase jobs. You’re saying ‘Hey we’re going to help bridge a gap here because your union leaders and you couldn’t

come up with the ability to do it.’ I fundamentally disagree with the concept,” he said. Kapenga said the “net impact on the economy of Kimberly-Clark staying or going will be very minimal.” He said Wisconsin has a worker shortage right now, and that while it would be unfortunate for workers who might lose jobs at Kimberly-Clark, they would quickly be hired elsewhere. “There are a lot of jobs out there,” Kapenga said. The bill would increase tax credits for job retention to 17 percent for the paper manufacturer’s payroll, up from the current 7 percent. Under the bill, Kimberly-Clark would also get refundable tax credits for 15 percent of capital expenditures — up from the standard 10 percent — over a five-year period, as well as a fiveyear sales tax exemption on those capital expenditures. GOP Sen. Alberta Darling, co-chair of the Finance Committee, dismissed the argument the package could set a bad precedent, saying the state has offered tax credits and other incentives to keep businesses in the state. She said the discussion in the Aug. 1 Senate Republican caucus was “healthy,” but not every member was present and talks will continue. Darling didn’t specifically commit to the Assembly bill but said she’s for “doing whatever we can to keep Wisconsin businesses in Wisconsin.” She also hoped some Democrats would support the bill. “I don’t understand why the Democrats think that keeping and growing Wisconsin jobs should be a partisan issue,” she said. Roth said Aug. 1 in a statement he’ll continue to push for the SEE CAPITOL REPORT, PAGE 7

I’ve never been a huge fan of heavy desserts in the summer. Even as a little girl, I’d pass on cakes and anything warm like pie. My idea of a perfect summer dessert is a bowl of freshly picked raspberries. And, I don’t like to share! Try telling that to four teenage boys. Summer berries are the epitome of summer desserts. The flavor of raspberries is refreshing, and they don’t feel like a lead weight in my stomach—especially after a BBQ or grilled dinner. I love this dessert Wild Chow because of the way the raspberries overpower it—in a good way. Lisa Erickson Last week, we had some friends over for dinner. It was a lovely night. We started with a cheese board of five different Wisconsin cheeses and tomato bruschetta for appetizers with wine. Dinner was grilled pizza. We were stuffed. I was so full, I forgot about the desert. My boys were happy—they had dessert for breakfast. This dessert is so tasty and refreshing, I actually look forward to it—I won’t forget this dessert! Summer Berry Bread Pudding Serves 8-10 2 pints strawberries, sliced 2 cups raspberries, divided 1 pint blueberries 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup red currant jam 5-6 day-old croissants (about 1-1/2 pounds), sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (use cream cheese/almond croissants for added flavor) Amaretto whipped cream, see recipe below In a large saucepan, over medium-low heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup of water; cook for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of raspberries and return to simmer and remove from heat. Stir in currant jelly and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup of the remaining raspberries to garnish the pudding when it’s finished. In an 8-inch round glass or porcelain soufflé dish with sides that are at least 3 inches high, arrange the croissants slices in a patterned layer. Pour about 1/2 cup of berry mixture over the croissants. Sprinkle with blueberries and raspberries. Continue layering the croissants, remaining berries, and berry mixture, using all the croissants and the berry mixture. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap loosely and directly on top of the pudding, and up the sides of the dish. In the middle, put a small plate that fits inside the dish. Place a heavy can or two onto the plate to weight down the pudding, to help the croissants absorb the berry liquid. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Remove the cans and the plate. Just before serving, run a knife around the outside of the pudding to release it from the dish. Invert on a serving plate and carefully remove dish. Top with amaretto whipped cream and reserved raspberries. Amaretto Whipped Cream 1 cup cold heavy cream 2 tbsp. powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 tbsp. amaretto In a cold metal mixing bowl, whip the cream with a hand mixer on low until mixture begins to thicken. Add sugar, vanilla, and amaretto, and continue mixing until stiff peaks form. Serve immediately.

Infrastructure committee hears budget proposals JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY –– Highway Commissioner Michael Hoefs had a simple message for the taxpayers during his budget proposal at the infrastructure meeting last week. “We’re being responsible with your money by getting ahead of the game,” Hoefs said. Hoefs said his department has cut their expenses by $100,000 in 2018. He listed off a group of up coming projects that will be taking place in the towns and villages. • Crack sealing and seal coating for Union • Seal coating and gravel surfacing for West Marshland • Seal coating for Villages of Siren and Grantsburg • Road construction for Town of Grantsburg • Gravel surfacing for Sand Lake • Crack sealing and gravel surfacing for Town of Siren • Seal coating for Wood River • Seal coating and road repairs for Daniels Hoefs also brought along a resolution from the State Department of Trans-

portation (DOT) which would define the differences between the DOT and Wisconsin County Highway Association (WCHA). It specifically refers to a bridge-fixing program run by the DOT and is designed to add more oversight to local agencies projects in their bridge program. County Supervisor and committee chair Jeremy Gronski believed it was a political move saying, “it looks like a hidden political game Hoefs recommended the committee not approve the resolution and cited bureaucratic issues at the state level for his reasoning. He brought up the Bakker Road Bridge which is about 20 feet long connecting two dirt roads. “It would have taken us somewhere between six months and a year to fix the bridge,” Hoefs said. “The state says it will take six years to do the work.” County Supervisor and committee member Chris Sybers remembers when he was first told about the bridge two years ago. “That still hasn’t been finished?” He asked astonished the work had not been completed. He then reached his arm out and said, “the bridge is from here to the wall (roughly 20 feet).”

AIRPORT DEPARTMENT Chuck Shultz of the Airport department said the Gandy Fly-in was a huge success with 3,000 people in attendance. He said it was more than 1,000 people than they had last year. He attributed that to the wonderful weather they had that day and the county highway department using portable changeable message signs on the highway to catch people’s eyes. “I sent a thank you note to Mike Hoefs in the highway department thanking him because those signs will catch anyones eye,” Schultz said. The highway department placed one of their LED signs near the roundabout in Siren and the other in Danbury. Schultz also said in the last five weeks they have sold about 8,000 gallons of fuel. Sybers was surprised and happy to hear about such a large amount of fuel being sold at the county airport. “Part of it was just how we’ve been selling this year and the rest is from our air show and people stopping here and then going to the big show in Oshkosh,” Schultz said. MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT Maintenance Supervisor Gary Faught said that his department fixed

the ventilation in the dispatch center for now, but warned a long-term solution still needs to be worked out. He said the clog in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system was probably clogged up for the better part of 20 years. “I had never seen up to an inch of water backed up in a system before and especially not like that,” Faught said. “This kind of clog never happens, but now I guess it can happen. You learn something new everyday.” Their current HVAC system, R22, will be obsolete by 2020 because replacement parts will no longer be available or produced. The maintenance budget proposal was approved and will move forward to the Administration committee and then the full board of supervisors.

IN OTHER ITEMS Faught said that consultants walked through the Government Center last month to get a first look at the phase 2 remodel project. Part of the project will be expanding the Sheriff’s Offices including more storage for evidence.

Growth and revision highlighted at Natural Resources Committee LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GOVERNMENT CENTER—The Burnett County Natural Resources committee discussed ATV trail funding requirements and repairs on county-owned dams during their Aug. 2 meeting. They also received some young visitors and learned of the progress of the Burnett County Tourism Coalition (BCTC) partnership. Forestry Administrator Jake Nichols advised the committee of a possible change that could affect ATV trails,

their classification, and potentially funding. Nichols was advised by the DNR that Burnett County may be required to turn all current ATV trails into TROUTEs. A TROUTE is a hybrid trail that allows ATVs and motor vehicles to utilize the same trail which would make them multi-use trails during the summer season. Currently, the county’s state-funded trails are closed in the fall and opened for multi-use until spring. Nichols advised that Burnett County is not interested in having multi-use trails during the heavy summer ATV-use months.

“We don’t call our trails TROUTEs,” Nichols said. “The only ones we have that are designated as TROUTEs are in problem areas where there is no other access, and then everyone has to use the same trail for about a mile.” “Could we lose funding for trails?” asked Craig Conroy. Nichols conceded that lost funding was possible, and cited a case where a county had lost their funding. He did clarify that in that case, most of their trails were newer which meant they should have been categorized as TROUTEs when they were opened. “Most of our trails are old and were grandfathered in,” Nichols added. Currently, a final decision is still pending from the DNR legal team, as there were differing opinions on the matter even within their organization.

Plan Perfect the

County Conservationist Dave Ferris advised Minerva Dam is coming up the end of its 20-year life cycle. As such, he was proposing to set aside $50,000 in the 2019 land and water conservation budget towards the repair. Ferris plans to apply for grants that could fund up to 50 percent of the repairs needed, but with a total project estimate of $300,000, Ferris advised it was prudent to break up the funds the county would be responsible for over a three-year period. Of the over 100 dams in the county, Burnett County owns four: Clam Dam, Loon Lake Dam, Webb Lake Dam and Minerva Dam. While some roadways may be affected, all of these are essentially for enhancement of property value. SEE NATURAL RESOURCES, PAGE 7

Olson asked, “Should we allow these streams and rivers to be allowed to go back to their natural state?” Ferris advised that doing so would result in a loss of waterfront property. Chairman Ed Peterson shared, “I’ve often wondered about that. If the dam went out, it would be totally dry. It’s a pretty significant thing.” On a lighter note, the committee welcomed a group of Junior Leaders from the Burnett County 4-H program. Six Junior Leaders, representing Orange 4-H, the Wood River Beavers, and Wood Creek 4-H. All counselors at 4-H camp this year, the youth shared 4-H experiences that taught them about citizenship, leadership, and community service. After listening to the Junior Leaders tell the committee what 4-H means for kids, Committee

member Gene Olson encouraged the leaders to continue being involved in the community and government. “These are our future leaders,” Olson added. “I admire these young folks. You guys are natural born leaders.” Emily Gall from BCTC also addressed the committee, reporting on their activities to promote tourism. Their current project of reviewing contact lists and web pages provided by the committee is “about 50 percent done,” although admittedly reviewing 600 entries is slow going. As well as the billboard on Interstate 35, there are current advertisements in the St. Paul Pioneer Press as well as transit ads on the Twin Cities Light Rail System.

GOVERNMENT CENTER–– Bill Norine, Burnett County District Attorney came to the Public Safety meeting to “explain everything” about his plan to retire. He began by telling the committee that he had officially served Burnett County for 10 years after being appointed by Gov. Jim Doyle in 2008. Norine said he had written to Gov. Scott Walker about his plans to retire on Wednesday and was hoping to have time to explain the decision to people at the government center. But Walker had already sent out a press release that Norine was retiring and he was searching for a replacement. “I regret that this committee and others had to learn about the vacancy that way,” Norine told the committee. “I apologize that you, on this committee, had to learn second-hand about this.” Norine will be stepping down ef-

bono work as needed,” Norine said. He did stress the “as needed” part as he was questioned about a potential domino theory of other departments in the government center being asked to work pro bono. Jackie Kurkowski of the DA’s office said the department is still looking for help from the state. Norine explained the reason he chose to step down now and not at the end of his term in 2020. “This way, the appointed person will have a few years to get their bearings,” Norine said. “They may like the area and job or they may hate it.” He said that he does not know what the Governor was thinking releasing the information of his retirement, but said he had good news for taxpayers. “Also, this is saving the state a bundle right now,” Norine concluded. “Every day there isn’t a six-figure District Attorney in that office saves the state a lot of money.”

GOVERNMENT CENTER –– Trudy Schmidt said as of July 31 there are 1,302 active warrants for people in the Burnett County Court system and some of those go all the way back to 2003. She also said if all the money that is owed to the court was paid off today it would equal $417,000 for the county. Schmidt has been Clerk of Court in Burnett County for 18 years. She has decided not to run for re-election this fall and came to the meeting to further explain the challenges her office faces. In 2017 ,the court ordered the Clerk of Court to collect $907,000 in fines and restitution. Schmidt said some of that goes to the state and some of it goes to victims as restitution. “As of July 31 this year, the court has ordered $680,000 to be collected,” Schmidt said. “Having said that I think we’re doing very well.” She said they have collected 40 percent of the 2017 fines and about 19 percent of the 2018 fines. She added that the state does not help with collecting this money. The Clerk of Court’s Office is working with the Sheriff’s Department with finding people who owe money and Schmidt said it is a “very frustrating battle” to try and keep track of people they are trying to collect money from. Schmidt then addressed the issue of adding a second judge. She said she would like to educate the committee. “I’ve got a pretty good insight after 36 years here and the true problem isn’t really a bottleneck of cases, the problem is a lack of prosecutors.” She said that more law enforcement officers aren’t necessarily going to help because it is just going to create more work for the court. She had the data from the state to back her up. “Our District Attorney’s Office has 1.2 district attor-

neys, the state has just re-did their stats and they need 2.5,” Schmidt said. “2.5 in this small county. Our judge need is 1.7. We have one” She also said that starting Sept. 21, one day a week they will be holding court in the county board room, which will stretch the Clerk of Court’s Office to its limits. County Supervisor and committee chair Gerald Pardun said she was painting a very scary picture about her office and Schmidt gave him her solution to the growing problem. “A new justice center,” Schmidt said. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT REPORT Emergency Manager Jim Tolbert told the committee that the damage caused by heavy rain and flooding that occurred mostly in the northern part of the county in June was estimated to be over $72,000. Those estimates were done by the Highway Department and Forestry and Parks Department. “We are also working with other affected counties – Douglas, Ashland, Bayfield and Iron – on getting a Presidential Declaration and/or an application to Wisconsin Disaster Fund,” Tolbert said. Tolbert explained that $66,000 of the funds were accepted in the preliminary damage assessment and Gov. Walker has requested a Presidential Declaration. “That is 87.5 percent of what we asked for,” Tolbert said. “With about 75 percent of that $66,000 coming from the state.” He also said they held a productive listening session with the incident management team to discuss what went well and what did not go well during the emergency. Some of the positives were the team worked well together, it was essential having all functions of emergency team in the same room and they had great cooperation with the

Tribal Police Department and the Danbury Casino staff. A few improvements that are needed were conflicting duties, more active participation from the Sheriff’s Department was desired, and there is a need to clarify and strengthen communications with County Board. SHERIFF’S REPORT Sheriff Ron Wilhelm explained to the committee the caseload some of his staff are currently facing. “We’ve got a detective in our department that is sitting on 300 misdemeanor and felony cases,” Wilhelm stated. “That’s just for one detective to work on. The meth problem is making things worse and our jail is busting at the seams.” He continued to explain at the heart of the issue is the fact that the department is understaffed. “We’re still down four deputies,” Wilhelm said. “We continue to get applications for the position, but they’re not passing background checks.” The issue is statewide and country-wide and national news headlines bashing police officers are not helping the recruitment process, Wilhelm explained. “Another important point in money, that’s what it comes down to in most cases,” Wilhelm concluded. “In the southern part of the state you can make a lot more money.”

•

IN OTHER NEWS The budget proposals for Child Support, District Attorney, Clerk of Courts, Register in Probate, Emergency Management, Medical Examiner and Law Enforcement departments were all approved. County Supervisor and committee chair Gerald Pardun told the committee that unless something glaringly obvious comes up they should pass the proposals. Then allow the Administration committee to work out the details of the proposals.

Old favorites and new excitement at the Burnett County Ag Fair LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;It is nearly Burnett County Ag Fair time. In addition to all the exhibits, livestock, and midway fun that it brings, the Burnett County Agricultural Society is working to make this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair the best one yet. Bruce Scheider hopes this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair will be well - drier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the 35 years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved (in the fair), last year was the first year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen weather affect us so hard.â&#x20AC;? Scheider is speaking of the heavy rains that beleaguered last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair, canceling some events and making things on the grounds a bit of a mess. Die-hard fair fans will recognize a lot of the offerings from last year, but the Fair Board want fair-weather fairgoers to get an opportunity to take in the all the fair has to offer. To help that along, this year, patrons will be able to purchase a wristband for all three grandstand events for the price of two adult grandstand admissions. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like getting a free pass to one event! Grandstand wristbands are available for pre-purchase now until Friday, Aug. 24 at Kozy

Kitchen, the Drive In, Minit Mart, the Country Store, and Burnett Dairy and Feed store. They will also be available Friday at the fair. The grandstand events offer a variety of motorized entertainment. Friday night brings monster trucks to the arena for the Ultimate Truck Series races. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second year for the race, and these guys go rain or shine. Scheider says the Grantsburg set up appeals to the racers as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it wide enough so that two trucks can race side-by-side. That turns things up a notch from when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the track alone racing the clock. The racers really like that.â&#x20AC;? The Demo Derby is back again on Saturday evening, with the Power Wheels derby and the Lawnmower derby opening for the main event. For those who missed it last year, you will get a chance to see the two-man derby heat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one member of the team steers while the other deals with the brakes and gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun to watch. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of coordination going on,â&#x20AC;? Scheider said. Batting clean up for the grandstand events is the Tractor Pull on Sunday afternoon, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get a chance to play last year. New for this

year, the Dairyland Garden Tractor Pull will be running concurrently with the big Tractors. Scheider shares the plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set the tracks up so that a big one goes one way, then a garden tractor goes the other way, so there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a break in the action.â&#x20AC;? Even if those events arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your thing, there is still plenty of reasons to come to the fair. Are you old enough for an AARP card? Then you may be old enough for a slice of free pie on Friday/ Senior Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day (but you will have to be over 60 to cash in on that one). Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still a youngster, Senior Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day also offers bingo under the big tent and a special tribute to Burnett County citizens 100 years of age or better! Bring the kids, the grandkids - even the neighbor kids - to Family Fun Day on Saturday. Pickles the Clown will be around in the afternoon to while away some time while waiting for the face painting line to dwindle. There are also free ice cream cones for kids at noon and a parade at 3:30 p.m. Stay around (or come back) to Saturday night. New this year is music in the beer garden. Tim Baxter and the Mustangs play at 9 p.m., so come by and

enjoy. Or hit the Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market and Craft sale on Sunday, Aug. 26 for farmfresh produce and one of a kind items. And carnival wristbands are making a comeback this year. Unlimited ride wristbands are available for specific time slots, and there is also a Super Wristband that covers ALL of them. So, if you are in love with the Tilt-O-Whirl, go ahead and ride until you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk straight! All wristbands are currently on sale, with the last day for prepurchase being Wednesday, Aug. 22. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to get one ahead of time, they will still be available at the fair, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss out on special pricing. Like the grandstand wristbands, carnival wristbands are available for purchase at Kozy Kitchen, the Drive In, Minit Mart, the Country Store, and Burnett Dairy and Feed store. As always, admission and parking are free. As Scheider summed up, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the fair to stay accessible to the community.â&#x20AC;? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see you at the Fair! For a full list of events, wristband sessions, and prices visit grantsburgfair. com or Facebook.com/grantsburgfair.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To Whom It May Concern, Having worked in Burnett County for 18 years as both the Police Chief of Siren and the Sheriff of Burnett County, I had the unique opportunity to have worked with and observed each of the current candidates for the position of Burnett County Sheriff. Each of them has also worked under my administration, so I believe I am qualified to voice my opinion on who I believe would be the best choice to lead the Department in the future. All three candidates each bring individual traits to this position. They each have years of experience in the profession and have made contributions to the citizens they serve. It is my professional opinion that after 39 years of working in the profession of law enforcement that candidate Ryan Bybee is far and away the best choice for Sheriff of Burnett County. Ryan Bybee has demonstrated over the years a strong desire to learn the profession so that he can better serve the citizens. He has worked to constantly improve himself, the other officers he works with and the community he lives in and represents. Ryan Bybee has been instrumental in battling substance abuse, working to obtain the drug dog. Ryan Bybee has improved his communication skills so as to effectively work with citizens to resolve conflict. Ryan Bybee has become the leader the Department needs to manage the Department in a professional, law and order fashion. Ryan Bybee is a respected member of the community and a true professional law enforcement officer. I highly recommend Ryan Bybee for the position of Burnett County Sheriff, and it is my hope that you, the voting public, look carefully at each candidate and the accomplishments of their respective careers. When you have completed this process you will also come to the conclusion that Ryan Bybee is the best candidate for Sheriff. Respectfully Submitted,

Dean W. Roland Retired Law Enforcement Paid for by Bybee for Sheriff

for more information or for an application to apply for assistance. To the voters of Burnett County, This letter is to address the upcoming sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race in Republican Primary. For the past 26 years I have been with the Burnett County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce and have served as sheriff for the last three and one-half years. During this time, I have served in many different capacities while employed here. I am endorsing Ryan Bybee for Sheriff of Burnett County in this primary. A little over 16 years ago I was conducting background investigations on several individuals who wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement in Burnett County. I conducted such an investigation on Ryan Bybee. I traveled to many points in the State of Wisconsin interviewing Sergeant Bybeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s references and previous employers. The results of this investigation were spotless. Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was focused on becoming a law enforcement ofďŹ cer and because of this, he lived his life accordingly maintained an ethical and moral lifestyle. My recommendation was to hire Ryan Bybee as soon as possible. After Ryan was hired I was his ďŹ eld training ofďŹ cer and early on I recognized him as a prospective leader. It was enjoyable to spend this time with him because he wanted to learn and was a very good listener. Ryan later became a ďŹ eld training ofďŹ cer and did an excellent job training new recruits. Ryan has been an outstanding sergeant under my command, he has served this county very well. He believes strongly in accountability and will go to no end to get the job done successfully. Over the past several years I have gave Sergeant Bybee many tips on illegal drug activity in our county and he took action. He has been responsible for many drug arrests that involved methamphetamine and other dangerous drugs. As a result of these arrests we were able to solve many burglaries and thefts, these criminals were burglarizing to support their drug habits. Ryan was very instrumental in helping us get a very successful K-9 program. We now have a new deputy named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trackerâ&#x20AC;? and he has been a tremendous asset to the sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce and our community. It took two years to make the K-9 program a success, Ryan showed his leadership in itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development. Many roadblocks and red-tape had to be navigated to make this program happen, Ryan never gave up, and is now the supervisor of the K-9 program. Ryan has been involved in many other successful programs in the sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce. One that stands out is the recreation ofďŹ cer program. Ryan built that program up from the ground and made it very successful. This program keeps our snowmobile and ATV trails safe by enforcing the laws enacted by our legislature. This keeps the trails safe for YOUR families to enjoy. This is just one example and there are many more just as successful. Ryan Bybee has the knowledge and experience to hold the ofďŹ ce of Sheriff. He has earned the respect of the citizens of Burnett County and is a true law enforcement professional. Ryan understands the sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce, he has worked here for the past 16 years, that gives him the inside knowledge required to lead the sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce for years to come. August 14, 2018, the choice is simple, vote Ryan Bybee as Sheriff of Burnett County. Paid for by Bybee for Sheriff /s/ Ronald Wilhelm

Living a therapeutic lifestyle is important. One important element of a therapeutic lifestyle is service. Participating in service and exemplifying kindness can help not only those at the receiving end of the generosity, but also those who give. Kindness is good for a person’s physical and emotional well-being. Practicing kindness can make a person happier, improve physical health, and even lengthen a person’s lifespan. According to research from Emory University, when a person does an act of kindness or service, the pleasure centers of the brain light up. These are the same areas that light up for the person receiving the kindness. This distinct physical sensation associated with helping is known as the “helper’s high.” Performing acts of kindness increases the brain’s feel-good chemical which causes both the giver and recipient to feel stronger, more energetic, calmer and less depressed. Helping others also buffers the negative effects of stress on one’s wellbeing. By showing empathy and doing acts of kindness, a person is distracted from negative thoughts that may be weighing on themselves. By focusing on being compassionate or kind to others, a person is responding to their own pain and the other’s pain with compassion and caring action. When you tune into another’s needs and send compassionate thoughts to them, it fills you with more energy. It is human nature to want to help someone that is suffering or in need of help. We care about others and it feels good to relieve the stress we feel when we see another suffering. Being compassionate, kind, and doing acts of service produces a sense of fulfillment. By helping others, one has a greater feeling of self-worth and purpose. You feel better mentally and emotionally when you stop thinking about negative stressors in your own life and take a few moments to help someone else in need. Being kind is good for yourself and those around you.

6 ways to prepare for a new school year

ant to ensure the transition from summer to school goes smoothly for your family? Check out these six tips. 1. Make a smooth transition. Been sleeping in all summer? Now’s the time to get your body back into the routine of early mornings. Start slowly, setting the alarm earlier until you reach the time you’ll be waking up for the school year. Parents can assist

younger kids with this transition. 2. Get the right education tools. From highlighters to USB drives to loose-leaf paper, be sure you have a comprehensive list of all the school supplies and education tools you’ll need for a successful year ahead. As far as tech tools like graphing calculators are concerned, opt for those that are jam packed with all the latest features. 3. Organize your agenda. Make sure everyone

is ready for the busy year ahead. Plan your children’s participation in after school activities. Then, display relevant items on a calendar where the whole family can see it to ensure no one misses a club meeting, rehearsal or team practice. 4. De-stress. The hectic back-to-school season can create tension and stress. Encourage hobbies that help students unwind as the school year gets back into full swing. 5. Get healthy. Crowded

CLASSES START SEPTEMBER 4

classrooms are a good place to pick up germs. Keep kids healthy with a daily multivitamin, plenty of fresh fruits and veggies and lots of sleep. Regular exercise is also an immunity booster, so encourage kids to get active. 6. Adapt to new school resources. Families aren’t the only ones getting ready for back to school. Districts are incorporating the latest tech into classroom learning. (StatePoint)

Calm the chaos on busy school mornings

ornings can test the patience and stamina of busy families as adults and children hurry to get out the door on time. Starting off the morning already stressed can lead to feeling tense throughout the rest of the day. There is no magic formula to make mornings less hectic, but the following are some ways families can streamline their morning routines. • Make use of the night before. Morning madness may come about due

to lack of preparation the previous night. The more that can be done the night before, the less there will be to do on weekday mornings. Encourage children to lay out clothes for the next day and take a shower or bath that evening. Make lunches the night before a school day, and gather all supplies from homework stations, restocking backpacks and gym bags so everything is ready to go come the morning. • Get to bed earlier. Sleep experts say that if you need to rely on an

alarm clock to get up in the morning, you may not be getting enough sleep. The National Sleep Foundation says schoolaged children should get between nine and 11 hours of sleep a night. Teenagers require between eight and 10 hours of sleep per night, while adults need between seven and nine hours. A good night’s rest can reduce morning crankiness and get everyone moving more efficiently. • Incentivize timeliness for kids. Children who are reluctant to head to

school may need extra motivation to get out the door. Offer small rewards to kids when they get ready on their own or finish breakfast in a certain amount of time. Rewards can include a treat like choosing a favorite show to watch after school or a special outing on the weekend. • Follow a schedule. Make mornings the same each day so everyone knows what to expect. Uniformity can streamline tasks and ensure everyone knows what’s expected of them.

METROCREATIVECONNECTION.COM

• Stay organized. Racing around trying to find keys or jackets can be very stressful. Make it a point to return items to their proper places so that everyone knows

where to look for the items they need. School mornings can be challenging, but with some ingenuity and forethought, the stress can be tamed.

School hygiene tips healthy and help prevent germs from being transported home, where they can affect other members of the family. • Hand washing is essential to good hygiene. Children should wash their hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, before eating and after

playing outdoors. • Children can bring along their own tissues and use them when their noses become runny. Tissues should be promptly discarded after use. • Parents should ensure that fingernails are clean, as under the fingernails can be a breeding ground for bacteria.

Clipping fingernails and regular hand washing can remove a number of germs. • Keep ill children home from school, especially if they have a fever. Kids should not return to school until they are fever- or symptom-free. • Toys and community supplies should be washed or disinfected regularly to kill germs. Cleaning classroom furniture regularly also can help establish healthy educational environments.

DRIVE SAFELY!

Children are on their way back to school, and as a motorist, you will have to exercise more caution on the road. Children don’t always watch for traffic or pay attention to what they are doing, so it’s your job to look out for them. Please exercise caution while driving, especially during school hours or near schools, playgrounds, parks and residential areas.

There may be some changes going around in numerous households in and around Burnett County these days. Fishing boat cushions are being cleaned up and moved to the automobile. Lawn chairs are being looked over for any weaknesses in the webbing or canvas connections. Fall and/or winter coats, hats and gloves are searched for in the basements, attics, trunks or other places and are prepared for wearing, or at least placed in the vehicle(s) of choice. Why are these items being dug out? It’s football, cross country and volleyball season once again. Many remember the “cool” nights last season when the football playoffs were conducted on frozen fields with snowfalls covering the yard markers. Some of those seat cushions might have felt very hard while on the outdoor bleachers, when on the other hand, they felt very comfortable while watching the volleyball games indoors with decent temperatures. The lawn chairs made waiting a little more bearable as the cross country runners did their “course work” on the hillsides, valleys and flat areas on which they ran. Yes, it’s that time of year when high school sports begin a new season of thrills and excitement. The “Boys of the Gridiron” have already started their ses-

NOVEL IDEAS CHRIS STUCKENSCHNEIDER BOOK EDITOR

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Place For Us,â&#x20AC;? a debut novel by Fatima Farheen Mirza, will elicit empathy for a Muslim family living in America. Their problems and pain know no cultural bounds, and readers will identify with their heartache. Amar, the youngest child and only son, has been estranged from his parents, Layla and Rafiq, and his sisters for three years. Amar has returned home because his oldest sister Hadia insists he attend her wedding. Since childhood, Hadia has been close to Amar, a boy she was tasked to watch over â&#x20AC;&#x201D; acting as a second mother to both him and her younger sister Huda. The novel openâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Hadiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding, where Amar feels the strain and comfort of seeing old friends, and the joy of revisiting a Muslim girl he still loves. Years before, the two formed a secretive relationship thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hinted at, hooking readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest as the narrative shifts to the past, where the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles are exposed, as is Amarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strained relationship with his father. Amar was bullied in school because he looked different from his classmates; he was a disappointment to his father too; it seemed he only wanted to be with his mother. Amar questioned everything, while his sisters were accepting and easy to get along with. Throughout the novel, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to find fault with Rafiq and have sympathy for Amar, the son of parents who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question their religion but alienate the boy by being rigid, until he acts out in ways that threaten his well-being. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the last part of the novel, narrated by Rafiq, that readers understand Rafiqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true feelings for his son, and the motives behind his actions. Older now, his health failing, Rafiq issues a passionate, regret-tinged confession, enlightening readers and providing a beautiful end to an unforgettable book. ************************** Elizabeth H. Winthropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gripping novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mercy Seatâ&#x20AC;? relates the last 12 hours of life for 18-year-old Willie Jones. The book is set in a small town in Louisiana in 1943 and relates a story of racism using voices of citizens in and around the community. Jones is found guilty of raping a white woman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a crime readers learn little about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the tale more character-driven than lashed to a mile-a-minute plot. Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Frank has hitched his beloved mule to a wagon loaded with a gravestone heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delivering for his son, praying heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to the teen before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late.

Another couple journeying to New Iberia are transporting the wooden apparatus of torture, secured in the trailer of a truck. Lane is in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat, a prison trustee chauffeuring hardnosed Captain Seward, who taunts Lane repeatedly. Readers also meet compassionate Ora, a woman with a soft spot for a young black boy in the neighborhood. She and her husband Dale run the town grocery. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re distant from each other, worry for their son in the armed forces consuming them. The why behind Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incarceration becomes clear when District Attorney Polly Livingstone is introduced. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible for Willieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death sentence. In an attempt to keep his family safe from the KKK, Livingstone has compromised his ideals, and is tortured, as is his wife Nell. Their son Gabe, an innocent, is swayed by an evil contingent, and the Livingstones find themselves tangled in a web Polly thought heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d avoided. This is a small book, but one certain to make a big impact. Questions are raised and left unanswered in regard to the death penalty; no matter what your belief in this regard, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible not to have empathy for Willie, as the author painstakingly walks us through his final hours, the clock ticking as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mercy Seatâ&#x20AC;? waits.

NOTICE OF PARTISAN PRIMARY AND SAMPLE BALLOTS AUGUST 14, 2018 OFFICE OF THE BURNETT COUNTY CLERK TO THE VOTERS OF BURNETT COUNTY: Notice is hereby given of a partisan primary to be held in Burnett County on August 14, 2018, at which the nominees for the of¿ces named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each of¿ce, whose nominations have been certi¿ed to or ¿led in this of¿ce, are given under the title of the of¿ce under the appropriate party, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, if any, in the sample ballot below. INFORMATION TO VOTERS Upon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address, show an acceptable form of photo identi¿cation and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence, if the voter presents proof of residence in a form speci¿ed by law. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election of¿cial may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the of¿cial may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

Partisan Primary August 14, 2018 The Partisan Primary is a nominating process. Voting in this primary is your opportunity to express to one party of your choice, which of the party’s candidates you recommend for placement on the General Election Ballot. Ballot Selection and Marking Instructions Choose a party: (If you vote on more than one party ballot, your choices will not be counted.)

Choose ONE party ballot from this packet on which to vote. Remove your selected party ballot from the packet. Vote only on the party ballot you selected. If you vote on more than ONE party ballot no votes will count.

Vote for candidates on your selected ballot:

Vote for one candidate per of¿ce on the ballot you have chosen. To vote for a name on the ballot make an “X” in the square next to the name like this Q. To vote for a name that is not on the ballot write the name on the line marked “write-in.”

If you make a mistake or have a question:

Ask an election inspector for help. Absentee Voters: Contact your municipal clerk.

At the partisan primary, the voter shall select the party of his or her choice. Voting for candidates of more than one party may invalidate the ballot. You must cast a vote for individual candidates. Where Paper Ballots are Used The voter shall choose the ballot of the party of his or her choice. If the voter votes on more than one party ballot, no votes will be counted. On the party ballot of his or her choice, the voter shall make an (X) or other mark in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each of¿ce for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall make an (X) or other mark in the square next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall make an (X) or other mark in the square next to “no” if opposed to the question. Where Touch Screen Voting is Used The voter shall touch the screen next to the party of his or her choice. The voter shall then touch the screen next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each of¿ce for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall touch the screen next to “yes” if in favor of the question or the voter shall touch the screen next to “no” if opposed to the question. The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than ¿ve minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the voter in marking his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked. If a voter spoils a paper ballot, he or she shall return it to an election of¿cial who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election of¿cial, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. The voter may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast. After Voting the Ballot After an of¿cial paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors’ initials on the outside do show. The voter shall then deposit the voted ballot in the ballot box, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit, and deposit the un-voted ballots in the discard box. The voter shall leave the polling place promptly. After an of¿cial touch screen ballot is marked, the voter shall leave the polling place promptly. A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter declares to the presiding of¿cial that he or she is unable to read, has dif¿culty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an of¿cer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter. The following is a sample of the of¿cial ballot:

18th annual Danbury Oktoberfest promises old time polka fun at its best! DANBURY – The Danbury Lions Club and their supporters are excited to be hosting the group’s 18th annual Oktoberfest at the Danbury Ball Park on Aug. 18. “Come and join us! We will have great old polka music and a nice dance floor. There will be no rap music, just real old time fun music,” mused Oktoberfest coordinator, Klaus Nieder. The day-long event starts at noon and continues until 8 p.m. under a big tent, so the polka party will go on rain or shine. Along with the great polka music, Oktoberfest visitors can enjoy tasty German food favorites and, of course, German beer. “We’ll have German Bier, Usinger German Bratwurst, Usinger Bavarian Wieners, great pork sandwiches all served with Ingrid’s favorite

homemade sauerkraut!!” Neider enticingly noted. “We are proud to feature the Dan Zimmer Polka Band, Burnett County’s finest!” added Nieder. Also performing throughout the day will be the Bill Koncar Polka Band from Minneapolis, the famous Edelweiss Schuhplatler Dancers from St. Paul, and from St. Croix Falls, the always energetic, entertaining, and just plain fun to watch, Riverside Cloggers. “So join us at this great community event!” invited Nieder. “We’ll have lots of “Gemuetlichkeit!!!” (Translation - Think of good food, good company, a drink or two and plenty of time to enjoy it all!). For more info call Klaus at 715-244-3403. The Danbury Lions Club Ball Park is located at 7563 Peet Street in Danbury.

SUBMITTED

“ZICKE,- ZACKE,- ZICKE,-ZACKE, HOI,-HOI,-HOI, PROSIT!!!!!” (Translation - German toast for “Don’t worry, be happy, one, two, three, drink, cheers!)” Klaus Nieder leads the toast at Danbury’s Oktoberfest.

Diversiﬁed Services, Inc. rewarded for energy efficiency

SUBMITTED

SIREN—By replacing their lighting with new energy-efficient LED lights, Diversified Services, Inc. (DSI) not only saved money on energy bills, but have improved the lighting conditions for workers. Focus on Energy offered DSI incentives for the lighting and furnace upgrades

Grantsburg Town Hall

through its Community Small Business Offering (CSBO) program, a special proposal targeting small business owners in rural parts of Wisconsin. The total incentive payment for DSI’s energy efficiency projects totaled $8,871, which is more than half the cost of the upgrades. Thanks to the incentives, DSI’s lighting investment will pay for itself in just over three years and payback for two new energy-efficient furnaces will be less than two years.

The new Town of Grantsburg town hall opened last week. Next week, they will hold their ﬁrst election in the building. Town Chairman Jim Paden was very excited they were able to move into their new location in time for the primary election.

Looking for Daily Bread

Pastor Doug Olson Yellow Lake Lutheran Church, Danbury, WI

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were beside the sea, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesusâ&#x20AC;? John 6:24. People had been fed by Jesus from five loaves and two fish on a grassy hillside beside Lake Galilee. The day ended with some folks sleeping with full stomachs under a night sky of bright stars. The sun rose peeping over the hillsides lighting up a new day. Awakening they ate fish sandwiches gathered in baskets. People faced a constant shortage of food. Droughts came often to their lands. Hunger stalked them as day laborers waited to be hired for small wages. People starved

to death. Such fear sent them in search of Jesus to be fed again. They find Jesus in Capernaum. A discussion begins about God working to give life to people. Someone spoke of Moses feeding the people in the Wilderness with bread and quail. Jesus reminds them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is my Father (God) who gives you the true bread from heavenâ&#x20AC;? v. 32. We nod our heads. Yes, but how can we live in an uncertain world? Climate change is changing life. Besides, the world is being blown to pieces with bombs. People are left homeless and fleeing. Does God see us trying to stretch dollars to buy clothes, food, housing? Problems of addiction affect

parents and children. Many of us live hungry lives on low incomes. Are we alone in a fearful dog eat dog world? Jesus answers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the bread of lifeâ&#x20AC;? v. 35. The writer of Ephesians expands Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Jesus) who descended (was born, crucified and raised for us) is he who ascended far above the heavens so he might fill all things (with his saving presence everywhere for everyone to live)â&#x20AC;? 4:10.
