SPOONER– Wolves and hunting dogs. Wolves and calves. Wolves and deer. Too many wolves preying on them, too many wolves getting too close to humans, and so many wolves that someday, a child will be killed. Those were some of the sentiments expressed at a meeting in Spooner on Wednesday, Aug. 16, a gathering aimed at drawing out personal stories and experiences with wolf encounters and depredations that could be used to bolster support for a bill delisting wolves. A bill before Congress that would delist wolves under the Endangered Species Act in the Great Lakes region – Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan – and take wolf management out of the federal government’s jurisdiction and put it in the state’s hands, needs an estimated three more votes to pass. The bill also would remove judicial review from the listing process, ensuring it would be the states, not judges, that decide the status of wolves. A strategy to move the bill along includes frequent and repeated calls to Sen. Tammy Baldwin to encourage her to persuade some colleagues on the Democratic side to support the bill. Bipartisan support and need to get just a few more votes to pass the bill was a refrain repeated throughout the meeting. Tom Petri, representing Sen. Ron Johnson, called it a “full-frontal advocacy push.” In early July, a bill to delist was folded into a larger bill of natural resources-related programs called “HELP [Hunting
Heritage and Environmental Legacy] for Wildlife Act” (S.1514). Petri said it needs 60 votes to pass. Currently 52 Republicans and five Democrats have said they support it. Baldwin and Minnesota Sen. Amy Kobuchar are among the supporters, he said. He expects a similar bill to make its way through the House as this bill makes its way through the Senate in what he called a “legislative chess game.” Approximately 35 of the estimated 120 people who attended the meeting spoke, mostly supporting a reduction in the number of wolves, estimated to be in the vicinity of 950. Several who supported the bill are part of or have represented groups or agencies such as the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Conservation Congress, and Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, including Adrian Wydeven, retired wolf biologist with the DNR. Many others were farmers or sportsmen who cited the loss of calves on farms and the attendant economic loss; the death of bear hunting dogs and the emotional trauma that it caused to the owners’ families; and the infringement on people’s rights. The meeting drew its attendance mostly from people who had contacted Johnson and other representatives about the issue and saw this meeting as their opportunity to speak, Petri said. One man said he loses 20 - 30 calves per year from his small beef herd in Douglas County. Another in Sawyer County said he has lost 18 and was reimbursed for two. Both said it is difficult to prove what SEE WOLVES, PAGE 8

Star mentorship program aims to cultivate positive lives SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GRANTSBURG— Burnett County is plagued with meth. Town halls have been called to order, a canine officer now sniffs the streets, and the jails are overcrowding. The main question many are asking is, How do we stop this? The drug problem and other issues that weigh heavy on our community are in constant need of creative solutions. When studying the wellness of a community, it is common to consider education and the active presence of school districts. Despite the issues this community faces with drugs and other such negativity, Burnett County has proven time and again the value it places in its schools. Just last month the Siren/Webster Community Education program was highlighted because of the success the program has seen under the guidance of Jennifer Swenson. Now, Grantsburg is ready to introduce plans for a program that aims to offer children the tools needed to live a happy, healthy life. Community Education Coordinator Rebekah Stavne is thrilled to announce the STAR Mentorship Program, a program that pairs elementary and middle school students with community mentors. This program is coming to fruition by the combined efforts of Stavne, Community Education Assistant Karin Reinert, and school counselor Lisa Thom. Stavne is hopeful the program will be off the ground in October and will consist of several students from both Grantsburg elementary and middle schools. Each student will partner with a community member for an eight week
after school program in order to learn how to develop strong, lifetime relationships that are built on trust, acceptance and promote social change. All mentors will have gone through an application process, background check, and brief training period before starting. Stavne explained her experience working in inner-city ministry groups has shown her that rural areas face many geographical obstacles when try-
a fine dining experience at Tesora or a trip up to Forts Folle Avoine. While this program was born from the idea of providing positive leadership in the lives of local children, the fine tuning of activities is still underway. At this point, Stavne sees the eightweek sessions beginning at 3:45 one day a week and lasting until 6:30. In those two hours, the mentors will spend time with the students while participating in
ing to develop program such as STAR. “We have some barriers that programs like this in a city may not face. We are such a widespread community. We don’t have a lot of options for activities for mentors to do with their students,” she said. However, this has not stopped Stavne or her partners. By zeroing in on Burnett County and exploring local areas, the STAR program hopes to offer local amenities that may be out of reach due to a families’ economic situation, like
group activities such as mini golf, hiking, or activities like those mentioned previously. “The percentage of students approved for free and reduced meals is 44% district-wide. This number is important as it tells a story of the socio economic challenges faced by many of our families. The STAR Mentorship Program is going to provide opportunities to our students they may otherwise not have,” said Stavne. While this program is in its infancy,
Stavne has big plans. “Ultimately, it would be amazing to see an individual mentor a student through elementary, middle, and high school and even be part of their graduation. And, through that, it would be great to see the student become a mentor when they turn 16 to receive community service hours. We want to encourage our high school students to reach out to kids and have that experience and give back,” said Stavne. The students and mentors will be supervised at all times by Grantsburg school staff. “We want to create a safe program for our students and mentors,” Stave said. On its face, this program seems like a positive opportunity for students to develop relationship skills with role models, but Stavne feels there is much more. “There’s the benefit of building positive relationships due to the influence of community members, and students will also grow closer to their peers. There are many different dimensions, and I’m excited to see how this will affect the lives of students.” Stavne feels this quote by poet Chinonye J. Chidolue encompasses the idea of the STAR Mentorship Program, “Like stars are to the sky, so are the children to our world. They deserve to shine.” Applications for mentors will be available in the coming days on the Grantsburg Community Education website. Stavne is a Toronto native whose been part of the Grantsburg community education program since July 2014. Before marrying a Grantsburg man, Stavne earned a BA in Leadership and also spent several years working with non-profit and ministry organizations in Toronto.
Mark Dahlberg to be honored at 1 p.m. Saturday
Former Grantsburg Village Board President Mark Dahlberg (right) and current President Larry Ebersold hold the commemorative sign that will be erected at 1 p.m. Saturday in Dahlberg’s honor. The ceremony will take place at the corner of Russell Street and Skyline Drive in Grantsburg.
GRANTSBURG—A special street sign to honor Mark Dahlberg will be unveiled during a ceremony at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26 at the corner of Skyline Drive and Russell Street in Grantsburg. Dahlberg resides on Skyline Drive. Everyone is invited. In a place of honor above the street sign, Grantsburg Village Board members will unveil a new commemorative sign. It reads, “Mark Dahlberg Drive.” In a semi-circle above his name are the words, “Community Service” and “Faith, Family, Friends, Work.” Dahlberg, 85, served on the Grantsburg Village Board 43 years, including 29 as a trustee and 14 as village president. Despite some challenges with his hearing, he still attends nearly every village board meeting as an interested citizen. Occasionally he adds a comment or
answers a question from the board. “I’ve always been interested in business and government, and the village board work combined those two interests,” he said. Dahlberg retired in March 2014 after 51 years of employment at Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company, including the final 33 as CEO. He remains active as vice president and board member for the three family-owned electric companies, including NWE, Dahlberg Light and Power of Solon Springs and North Central Power of Radisson. He attends the quarterly or semi-annual and annual meetings for all three companies and faithfully attends New Hope Lutheran Church. “I still enjoy getting out, staying active and being involved,” he said.

Turner says it’s “amazing” that Macemon found the war medal in the debris, and that “it’s going to mean a lot” to Weaver’s family to have it returned. Macemon says he’s found “neat stuff” in buildings he has demolished, but that a Purple Heart is a first.

Closer look at the proposed changes to Wisconsin’s Cooperative Laws BY NICK LEVENDOFSKY, GOVERNMENT RELATIONS ASSOCIATE WISCONSIN FARMERS UNION
If you are a member of a cooperative in Wisconsin, you need to be aware of a bill that could significantly change our state’s cooperative organizing laws – and your rights – as a co-op member. Senate Bill 281/Assembly Bill 353 would permit co-ops to make certain changes to their bylaws that are currently prohibited under state law. These changes are permissive, not mandatory, meaning that they would only apply to your co-op if the co-op votes to adopt them. If you are a member of any cooperative in Wisconsin: • Up to 20 percent of your cooperative’s board seats could be turned over to non-members, including outside investors. • You could lose the right to review cooperative records that are more than three years old. • Your co-op would be allowed to give greater than eight percent returns to capital investors. In addition to these changes, if you are a member of the cooperative holding company Cooperative Resources International (CRI) or its member co-ops Genex or AgSource: Your co-op could choose to base voting power on patronage, rather than the principle of one member, one vote. If this change is adopted, average-sized farms would see their voting power in the co-op significantly diminished compared to the co-op’s very largest farm members. The co-op trade association Cooperative Network is taking the lead in advocating for these proposed changes. Proponents of the bill reason that we should allow our co-ops to change with the times; that other states have changed their cooperative laws to allow patronage-based voting in limited situations; that federally-chartered farm credit banks have had outside directors for some time; and that the changes in the bill are opt-in, rather than automatic, meaning each cooperative will decide for itself whether to adopt the changes or not. Wisconsin Farmers Union (WFU) does support separate provisions of the bill that would allow electric co-ops to invest more in energy efficiency projects. However, we think the overall proposed changes are fundamental departures from cooperative principles, and the case has not been made for their necessity. In today’s economy, we need our cooperatives more than ever. Let’s build on what makes our cooperatives unique, rather than diluting the cooperative difference. In any case, these decisions should not be taken lightly by co-op members. Consider reaching out to your legislators or cooperative board representatives to let them know what you think about this issue. WFU urges all cooperative members to give careful consideration to any proposed bylaw changes put forward by your cooperative, and ask questions – even hard ones – to ensure a full and open discussion of the issues.

Yes, it has been 40 years BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK
We are nearing the end of the summer. The days are getting shorter, fall sports practices and games have begun and school age children’s days are literally numbered. Believe it or don’t, four decades ago, “Star Wars” and “Saturday Night Fever,” two very different films, hit the silver screen and created two very different crazes, as well as an entire set of stars, catch phrases and other bits of trivia to clutter up our collective From the Publisher’s minds. You know you are getting old when Desk these anniversaries come along and you can recall being amazed when Tom Stangl you saw the films the first time. I saw “S W ” several times, still own the soundtrack on “Star Wars” an LP, and had a great time. George Lucas built a sizable fortune on the film, as well as the five sequels. He sold the works to Disney, which will milk the franchise for all it is worth. We have already had two Star Wars movies since the Disney purchase, with the third one due in December. “Saturday Night Fever” brought disco into the mainstream, much to my dismay at the time (and really ever since). During my prime teen years, I had to suffer through this music and culture, ever holding out and holding on for a return to sanity. I had been a fan of the Bee Gees in their earlier days, but, even though the soundtrack to “Saturday Night Fever” is among the highest selling soundtracks of all time, I feel their earlier work was much better. The film itself, based on a magazine article, was ac-

tually a bad movie, in my opinion. The acting, the plot, it truly didn’t make a lot of sense to me then, and time has not changed my perspective on the film. The whole disco era changed fashion, as well as music. The feathered haircut with a part in the middle popped up nearly everywhere, gold chains became a fashion accessory for men, as well as the open shirts and wide lapels. It was quite the time, and not really for me. Looking back, both of these films had impact on our society. Movies can affect the lives of many people, give us all something in common and can start trends in the way we talk, the way we dress and the way we relate to one another. At its best, film is a powerful tool for change, both good and bad. Both of these films started trends. “Star Wars” has had more of a lasting impact, in my opinion, on our pop culture. I’ll bet nearly every one of you has a favorite scene, a catch phrase you have used with friends. Some of you even have the action figures. It’s OK, I won’t tell. Back in the day, I had a “May the force be with you” tee-shirt. Probably would be worth some bucks today, but I think it became a rag, then discarded, years ago, which is the natural life cycle of a tee-shirt. I also had the silk shirts, the denim suit, pants with cuffs on them and a favorite “Saturday Night Fever” song. Even learned a few of the steps. If you grew up in this era, there was little choice but to conform, so you probably did it too. I won’t tell, promise. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.
Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875
The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Disappointed To the editor: It is very disappointing to see that our representative in Washington, Sean Duffy, has been mute on the issue surrounding the president’s comments equating neo-fascists with those opposed to the vile goals of the so-called “alt right.” Nothing was heard from Duffy, not even the minimum condemnation required at a time like this by a real leader. Of course, while it disappoints me, it doesn’t surprise me, unfortunately. Long before the election in November, Trump had revealed himself as a racist and went out of his way to court the vote of the “alt right” neo-fascists and self-proclaimed Nazis, to the point of getting high praise from both David Duke and our representative. Last Tuesday, Trump merely underscored the fact that he finds hate groups are to be judged equally with those interested in social justice. My father was a liberator at Dachau Concentration Camp. This insults and degrades his memory. Shame on you, Duffy! Mike Griffith Webb Lake

THE CAPITOL REPORT
Republicans stepping up to challenge Sen. Baldwin BY WISPOLITICS.COM
MADISON—Even after a bruising and expensive 2012 GOP Senate primary that helped Sen. Tammy Baldwin beat Tommy Thompson to become the state’s first female senator, Republicans are again headed to a primary to decide Baldwin’s challenger next year. As of mid-August, only one Republican had declared – businessman and former Marine Kevin Nicholson. But, insiders say at least two other candidates could soon jump in. One is state Sen. Leah Vukmir, a Brookfield Republican. The other is Eric Hovde, a Madison businessman who finished second in the 2012 four-way primary won by Thompson, the former governor and national health secretary. Hovde wasn’t saying much about his potential candidacy, but Vukmir has been vocal and gathering support. She won the WisPolitics.com straw poll at the state GOP convention and recently garnered the support of two major Wisconsin donors, Beloit billionaire Diane Hendricks and Sheboygan conservative activist Mary Kohler. Nicholson, a political newcomer, also has scored big in early money support. He recently snagged the endorsement of the national Club for Growth, which played in the 2012 GOP Senate primary. In 2012, the group endorsed former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann ahead of the Senate primary. According to OpenSecrets.org political webside, Club for Growth spent $458,722 boosting
national president of the College Democrats and his 2008 vote in the Dem presidential primary while stationed in North Carolina. “For me, I continue to hear from people all across our state that we need real conservative leadership in the Senate,” Vukmir said. “We need a new voice that represents us, someone with a proven conservative track record. People are tapping me on the shoulder saying, ‘You are the person to do this.’” Nicholson, though, said his record “is pretty clear,” as it shows he cares “deeply about this nation and its future.” “My record is putting my life on the line for my country,” he told WisPolitics.com. “I don’t know who wants to question that.” Nicholson also explained in a later interview he was raised in a “left-of-center” family and his grandfather, who was his personal hero, was an FDR Democrat. He said when he went away to college he became active in politics, eventually becoming president of the College Democrats of America. But, he said he didn’t like the “identity politics” he saw practiced within the Democratic National Committee. “I had to find out myself that the vision of the Democratic Party was not my vision for the future,” he told “UpFront with Mike Gousha,’’ a WisPolitics.com partner. “When I talked about joining the Marine Corps, which I’d always planned to do, people looked at me like I was a little bit crazy,” he said. “I knew this probably wasn’t my crowd.”

Neumann while dropping more than $1.2 million attacking his primary opponents. That includes $658,762 against Hovde, who has said he will decide this fall on a campaign. Neumann finished third in the primary with 22.8 percent. Tommy Thompson won the four-way contest with 34 percent before losing to Baldwin in the general election. Hovde was second at 30.8 percent. Nicholson also has the backing of a super PAC financed by Illinois businessman Richard Uihlein, another big donor to Wisconsin campaigns. The super PAC gave $1.5 million to two groups running ads against Baldwin, as shown in federal campaign finance filings reviewed by WisPolitics.com. Uihlein was again the only donor to Solutions for Wisconsin, which has endorsed Nicholson in the GOP primary to take on Baldwin. He gave $1.5 million in June to the group and has kicked in $3.5 million so far, federal filings show. Solutions for Wisconsin, meanwhile, gave $750,000 each to two PACs: the Iowa-based Americas PAC, which ran a radio ad attacking Baldwin on her response to the Tomah V.A. scandal, and the Illinois-based Restoration PAC, which ran a TV ad on the issue. Americas PAC’s only donation between April and June came from Solutions for Wisconsin, its filings show. Restoration PAC also got $25,000 from Florida retiree Charles Johnson.

Meth pulls children out of homes, dents county’s wallet SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNMENT CENTER— Parents with drug issues are the primary force sending children out of the home and into the care of others. The Health and Human Services committee is asking for a $200,000 budget increase. “It’s because of out-of-home placement for children because of drug issues,” said Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers. In July alone, 37 Burnett County children were recorded as living out of home with relatives or in foster care. June saw the highest number of these cases in 2017 coming in at 44. The June numbers reflect over 20 children in homes without extended family while 11 were able to be placed with relatives. “Children get taken out of the home because of drug issues and they have to be put somewhere safe. That costs,” Sybers added. One board member asked, “Is $200,000 enough? And, if not, by how much are we short?” With a shuffle of papers Sybers stated, “We figure that’s about half. If the trend of the past three to four years continues, you’re going to see at the end of the year, we will be $400-450,000 in the hole. And, that’s because of out-of-home placement.” County Administrator Nate Ehalt explained that a new money source will need to be identified. He added that the total number to be granted is yet to be determined and because of the unknown nature of the trend, the money will focus on 2018 alone. “We don’t know if the trend is going to continue. We’ve seen some dip in the placement numbers. Depending on how the rest of the year goes, it is possible the projected figure of $450,000 in the hole that was based upon an $80,000 a month amount could fall if we‘re down to 35,000 or $30,000 a month. That could obviously bring down what is necessary from the general funds at the end of the year. We just don’t know.” County Board Chair Don Taylor added, “These are cyclic. We will figure out a way to deal with it. In the 90s we were spending $400,000 a year to house prisoners. In the early 2000s, we had empty beds. Now we are back up. These things go up and down. The housing will go down again. Until it does, we will fund it.” Katherine Peterson, director of Health and Human Services explained “We’re seeing longer out-of-home placements because of the types of drugs families are using. When we are talking about meth and her-
oin and some of the more serious drugs, these parents have long-term issues. We cannot move children back to the homes until we can guarantee safety.” Peterson did state Health and Human Services does try to keep the children affected by drug abusing parents with other family members if at all possible. Even if a child is placed in foster care, movement to the home of another family member is always an option, if the chance arises. Often children are ending up in treatment foster care because their needs are so great, explained Peterson. Treatment foster care can cost the county upwards of $2,000 a month per child. “It’s a combination of numbers, severity of dugs, and kid’s behavior all culminating at the same time. Placements are getting a lot longer,” said Peterson.
New ‘Meth Anonymous’ group has busy meetings DANBURY—One of the founders of a “Crystal Meth Anonymous” support group in Burnett County reports that the group is off to a good start with about two dozen people attending the meetings so far.

Grantsburg board denies Dollar General wine, liquor BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Village Board voted unanimously at its monthly meeting Aug. 14 to deny a request from the new Dollar General store for a “Class A Retailer’s Intoxicating Liquors Beverage license, and a “Class A Retailer’s Fermented Beverage License.” The two licenses would have allowed Dollar General to sell wine and beer, which the store said was the intent, but would also have allowed the store to sell hard liquor if they so chose. The board voted “no.” Instead, the board approved a “Cigarette and Tobacco License,” which it also approved for the Family Dollar Store when that store opened about three years ago. Family Dollar sells no intoxicating beverages.
Board member resigns President Ebersold read a letter of resignation from trustee Scott DeRocker, who said he was resigning at the end of the meeting and moving from the community. DeRocker owns a business in Pine City, and has had challenges getting away from work in order to make it back to Grantsburg for the 6 p.m. meetings. The board thanked him for his service. He has been on the board since August of 2014. DeRocker’s position will be filled by appointment by the village president, in accordance with village ordinances. SEE VILLAGE BOARD, PAGE 8

Tigers settle in with new staff and concession stand SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
WEBSTER— The halls of the Webster School buildings will be alive with new faces this school year as the school board welcomed the newcomers at its Aug. 21 meeting. Kyle Gauger (UW-Superior) will serve as the new elementary physical education teacher and has been volunteering with the football coaching staff. Rachael Peterson (UW-Superior) will teach second grade and Dave Hatch (UW-River Falls) will serve as a middle school special education teacher. Andrea Kerr (Winona State U.) has taken the position of seventh and eighth grade social studies teacher along with the seventh grade volleyball coaching spot. Keith Kemp (UW- Stevens Point) will serve as the new middle school science teacher. New to the high school is Kristina O’Brien (UW-River Falls) who will teach math. Sara Larsen (UW-Superior) will serve as the new library media specialist and Ron Dorn (UW-Stout) has taken the role of a technical education teacher. In other Tiger news: The Achievement Gap Reduction (AGR) Program has prompted positive results. Based on its five-year plan, the AGR program allows a participating school to meet academic goals by implementing a combination of strategies in kindergarten through grade three classrooms. Webster is happy to report overall, most students participating have seen a 10 percent improvement in math and reading. The board also approved the amount of $150,000 from the reserved fund balance to complete several construction and maintenance projects like replacing and updating HVAC items during the year and finishing off the concession stand project. The concession stand is nearing completion. School Superintendent Jim Erickson predicts the stand will be completed by Sept. 1, just in time for the Tigers to host Grantsburg on the Tigers’ football field. On Sept. 1 and 2, the school will hold a tool sale to shed excess shop machinery, desks and other miscellaneous items in order to free storage space on campus. Details are still to come and will be posted in the Out & About section of the Sentinel next week.
The board approved the purchase of a new blue bird bus for this school year. The original cost came in at $95,900; however, due to a trade-in of an older bus the price has been cut by $3,000. Tiger Leap Day is set for September 1. This day is designated for Kindergarten through grade nine for students to acclimate to the changes they will encounter in their first few days of school.

SIREN—Sheriff Ron Wilhelm joins a lot of Burnett County business owners and several other area law enforcement officers, including the Siren and Grantsburg chiefs of police, in a concern about the county’s unemployment situation. “Help wanted” signs seem to have a permanent place this year in front of many businesses and industries. Those signs appear to indicate jobs are aplenty in the county. Many restaurants, retailers, factories and construction crews say they need workers. The other part of the concern for Wilhelm and others in law enforcement is their belief that many of Burnett County’s unemployed are not looking for work. “Everywhere I go there in the county I see ‘help wanted’ signs,” Wilhelm said. “I know Siren Chief (Chris) Sybers feels the same way. It seems people just don’t want to work. “Here at the Sheriff’s Department we can’t hire jailers. We can’t get qualified people to work in our jail part-time. It is a constant, ongoing hiring process to fill our part-time jobs. Those part-time jobs lead to fulltime positions for those who prove themselves. “We also have people who apply but then we find they have been convicted of this and convicted of that,” Wilhelm said. “Or, they come to interview and say, ‘What do you mean I have to work nights? What do you mean I have to work weekends? I want my weekends off.’ “All these help-wanted signs around the county tell me people can work if they want to,” Wilhelm continued. “The jobs may not pay $25 an hour, but people can

SIREN—Several matters regarding animals in Siren came before the village board at its meeting on Aug. 11.
No chickens in Siren After discussion, the board left in place an ordinance that prevents residents from raising chickens or other farm animals in the community. Police Chief Chris Sybers and Village Clerk Ann Peterson said a few residents have asked about raising chickens. Some neighboring communities including Luck and Grantsburg have changed their ordinances to allow residents to own up to six hens, but no roosters. When the board asked his opinion, Sybers said, “If you allow chickens in the village without a yard size restriction, you have to remember that the neighbors are going to smell them, see them and hear them. I guarantee my phone is going to be ringing because I have talked to chiefs in towns that allow them. There are problems.” Board President Dave Alden added, “We have worked very hard to clean up some places in the village and I have a hard time allowing chicken coops that may be an eyesore. I personally don’t want them.”
Feral cats Alden said he had received two calls in the past week about feral cats in the Siren Trailer Park. “I drove through there and that place has wild cats everywhere. We may not want to get into it today but there are cats running everywhere down there.” Trapping ordinance to change Alden said he has received a request from an established trapper, Scott Thomas, to change the village ordinance to allow trapping of some SEE CHICKENS, PAGE 8

get a job and make money if they want to. “When I drive around the county,” he added, “I see people who I know aren’t working but could be working. They simply choose not to. And, what do they do when they’re not working? Many of them are the ones we have regular problems with. Not all of them, but some are the ‘night crawlers’ out there doing the bad things after midnight. I believe the old saying is true: ‘Nothing good happens after midnight.’ “I see North States is hiring and Engstrom’s ABC is hiring. Restaurants such as Dairy Queen and retail shops are looking for help, but some people just don’t want to work, and some people are not employable. It’s a shame.” ‘Lexipol’ coming next year A training tool called “Lexipol” is coming to the Sheriff Department in 2018. Best of all, it’s free. “It will be a wonderful training tool for our officers, paid for by the insurance company,” Wilhelm said. “I am sure they are hoping to see or have already seen it is good to have law enforcement officers reviewing the laws and also learning new things in small steps every day. That way we have a highly trained and up-to-date staff and perhaps avoid litigation. It will save money for us and the insurance companies. “Every day, Lexipol will provide daily training bulletins to officers on policies and police procedures,” he said. “Our officers will get the training sessions on their computer on a daily basis, and every few days they will take a quiz online. I am excited about this new training tool.”

VILLAGE BOARD: Grantsburg drivers must stop before turning onto Hwy. 70 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
Turning drivers must stop Village Police Chief Jeff Schinzing expressed a traffic control concern about Grantsburg’s only stoplight intersection where Hwys. 70 and 48/87 intersect. It perhaps is the community’s busiest intersection. The chief said traffic has gotten heavier there and fewer people are coming to a stop when using the separate right turn lane. “I will be talking to the county safety committee about increasing driver awareness of the stop sign,” Schinzing said. Southbound drivers on Pine Street use a separate right turn lane to enter Hwy. 70 west, but some are failing to stop for the stop sign. “We haven’t had accidents yet but have had some close calls when drivers making that right blow through the stop sign. We have had near misses. I am going to ask that the highway department add some red flags on the stop sign or add another sign that says ‘right-turning vehicles must stop.’ ” Schinzing also reported that recently a driver making a left turn from Pine onto Hwy. 70 east struck and knocked over the post that holds up the stoplight. “She (the driver) wasn’t impaired but lost control while turning and hit the pillar,” he said. Schinzing also reported two accidents on Hwy. 70 during Watercross weekend, where inattentive drivers on Highway 70 rear-ended cars stopped for traffic
before making a left turn. One occurred at Russell Street and the other at the Fitness Center entrance.
lost more than $400,000 from ambulance users who refused to pay for services.
New ‘Way Finding’ signs Board members inspected the new “Way Finding signs” approved by WIS-DOT for placement along State Road 70. The four new signs are placed at the major intersections in the village along State Road 70, and will direct visitors to the library, swimming pool, downtown area, Memory Lake Park, Crex Meadows and other village attractions. The project was funded by one-third from Grantsburg Public Library and two-thirds from the village, with sign installation help from the village’s public works crew. Since the Aug. 14 board meeting, the signs have been installed.
Changes at Memory Lake campground Due to problems with non-campers taking long showers at the campground’s public bathrooms and using all the hot water while showering and washing clothes, the village board decided to put some restrictions in place, possibly by adding a lock to restrict shower access to campers only. Despite that problem, Treasurer Sheila Meyer told the board that most campers love the campground and many have reserved their space for 2018 camping season at a full-season rate of $1,500 for the six-month period from mid-April to mid-October. In 2017, campers reserved 30 of 38 spaces for the full season.
Recouping ambulance expenses The village board voted to allow North Memorial Ambulance to intervene with the Department of Revenue when a Grantsburg resident has used the ambulance but not paid for the services. North Ambulance is asking all villages and towns in the county’s new ambulance contract to sign the agreement to allow North to divert funds from Wisconsin state tax refunds to the ambulance service to help recoup delinquent payments. That will help North keep its ambulance costs down, the board agreed. North said it will not touch Social Security payments, but reported during 2016 it
Pickleball at Kozak site The Bboard instructed Village Clerk Patti Bjorklund to contact the village’s insurance agent before allowing local pickleball enthusiasts to use a remaining concrete slab at the now-demolished former Kozak property north of the post office to add painted lines for pickleball courts. Play started this summer at the elementary school playground area, but with school starting the players are looking for a longer-term home where they can add court lines. When the Grantsburg tennis courts are resurfaced later this summer, pickleball court lines will be added there.
Siren man pleads guilty to stabbing SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNMENT CENTER— A Siren man has plead guilty in Burnett County Circuit Court to a class I felony substantial battery. Dakota Dawson, 19, was placed on 18 months probation on August 11. According to the criminal complaint, on April 19 Burnett County officials responded to a call from the Burnett Medical Center about a minor with a large laceration on his back. The incident occurred in the garage of the home of Dawson. Dawson, his juvenile brother, and juvenile friend were drinking alcoholic beverages when an argument broke out between the brothers. Dawson allegedly “starting making fun of [younger brother’s] ex-girlfriend who was African American...[Dawson] started using racial slurs.” The two brothers engaged in a physical altercation until the unrelated juvenile stepped between them and the younger of the brothers ran from the garage. The complaint states the unrelated juvenile thought Dawson would continue to assault the younger brother so he did not let him pass. Dakota then allegedly
struck the juvenile who, in return, struck him back. It is reported the unrelated juvenile stated he felt a jab in his back that caused pain. Dawson is said to have been holding an object the juvenile could not identify. The juvenile then noticed blood running down his own back. The unrelated juvenile told officials, “he did not know what Dawson stabbed him with, but knew he had a crowbar in his hands at one point.” Once at the medical center, the boy received two to three internal stitches and six external stitches. Dawson was arrested at his residence some time after 5 a.m. The complaint reads, “Dawson stated he took his pocket knife out of his right pocket, swung and hit [the unrelated juvenile].” Dawson claims to have had no intention of causing injury, that he was “acting in self defense... and apologized many times.” The terms of probation state Dawson must refrain from the use of alcohol, the use of drugs unless medically prescribed, pay a restitution to the victim in the amount of $7,885.45, undergo a mental health evaluation along with an AODA assessment, and have no contact with the victim unless otherwise stated by the Department of Corrections.
WOLVES: Community expresses deep concerns CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
killed the animals, especially when other animals feed on the remains. The Douglas County producer said he believes the wolves and coyotes are cross-breeding. Another producer said he had lost a calf and dog, and asked, “What happens if a young child is in the yard?” Another man said the deer herd has been “hammered” by wolves and wolves often are on the edge of his yard. Joe Weiss said the Washburn County Conservation Congress for a number of years has supported the 350 population goal. A retired conservation warden from Bayfield said the state has fought to keep the promiseed limit of 350 wolves to sportsmen, farmers and the public. Max Ericson of Minong summarized what many there felt, that there are “way, way too many wolves,” and they have lost their fear of man, but they should not be eliminated totally. A person with two young children who has seen wolves 15 to 20 yards away said, “Seriously, why should you have to worry about that?” A hunter since she was a child said she had been flanked by wolves when she had tried treeing bear
and added she would not trust letting children go there. Some of the audience members spoke of going hunting with their families, including children and young people, and their children being scared off hunting by the death and disemboweling of their dogs by wolves, sometimes at fairly close range. A Barnes man said the boost to the economy that bear hunting brings needs to be considered. A woman from Rice Lake said using dogs to hunt wolves amounts to a “legal canine fight,” and people cannot enjoy the woods when traps for wolves are set. Another woman said a human has never been killed by a wolf in the state; management should be based on science and wildlife biology; and wolves are part of the tapestry of nature – a predator in a bio-diverse ecosystem. Several people said they do not want the wolves eliminated, just reduced, and 350 was mentioned as a previous management goal (the state DNR had set that goal back in 1999). Others outright said they do not want any wolves in the state, or at least none where they live, farm, or hunt. When one woman said “the only good wolf is a dead SEE WOLVES, PAGE 9

water-based animals within the village. Alden said, “I think animals will cause problems in the village if we don’t remove some of the beavers, muskrats and other animals we have. That’s my opinion. It could cause us serious financial difficulties to remove them and undam some culverts that will be plugged up.” Regarding who should be allowed to trap, Alden said, “I personally can name the six experienced trappers in this county,” adding that very few trappers remain. “I would like to see some trapping to keep the beaver and muskrats out of our lake culverts. They can cause a lot of trouble.” The board said trapping will be limited traps set in water. Permission would be required from private landowners before trapping. Sybers agreed the village will see problems if doesn’t’ allow some trapping, including damage to lake shores. “If you have one or two licensed trappers that want to do it, that would probably be enough,” Sybers said. “They could come to the Police Department for a $10 permit first so we know who is trapping and where.” The board voted to have the village clerk and police chief rewrite the trapping ordinance to allow limited water trapping and present it at the next meeting for a vote. The matter was approved without dissent.
Southside Trail RFQ Village Clerk Ann Peterson told the board that in early September she will be sending the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to five engineering firms, inviting them to bid on the proposed Southside Trail project that may be built alongside the east side Hwy. 35/ Second Avenue South from Clear Lake Park to the stoplight. From there it will incorporate existing sidewalks in the downtown area to Crooked Lake Park. The RFQ will ask engineering firms to bid on the project, including application assistance, engineering design and engineering construction services for the construction of the proposed pedestrian trail. The Village will be applying for a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant through the Wisconsin DOT. The TAP grant is due to DOT in January of 2018.
Village cleanup progress The police department’s encouragement to some residents to clean up their properties is make progress, Chief Sybers told the board. In some cases, it make take legal action through village attorney if deadlines are not met. Sybers said the Siren Steel yard has been cleaned up. “And, I have gotten rid of four junk cars and three boats in past two weeks,” he said. “I have talked to a few others and they are working on it. One may end up in court.”

one,” an estimated third to half of the audience applauded. Petri said the bill would ensure that if the wolf population drops to a “dangerously low level,” they would go back to being listed again. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would monitor the populations for five years. Petri also said trying to get legislation passed now is “slow and methodical and somewhat stunted,” but Johnson believes 2017 “will be the year” to get the delisting passed. A variety of control tools are used now to try to control problem wolves, including flags, fencing and guard animals, but none are 100 percent successful.

recognized by the Wisconsin RtI Center with a bronze level award for their specific efforts in behavior. The elementary school also received a bronze level award for their framework in reading. To earn this level of achievement, schools must meet specific criteria that can be found on the Wisconsin RtI Center website. This recognition program provides encouragement to schools and districts during the construction of their framework, and helps them celebrate progress toward full implementation. As schools continue the work, they will map out how to sustain their previous work and continue to build increasing levels of student supports in additional subject areas until the system is fully in place.

SIREN– Siren school has been successfully building a school-wide framework aimed at closing achievement gaps and increasing the number of students who graduate from high school ready for college or for a career. National research shows that full implementation of this framework leads to improved student outcomes. By establishing this framework, Siren School is increasing the consistency of effective instruction for all students, building staff knowledge and skills to support all learners, using data to more quickly identify and provide support for students, and shifting to a culture that supports stronger relationships with students and their families. Siren School is working to increase positive student outcomes in reading, mathematics or behavior. Schools that have received training in this framework, adopted evidence-proven practices, and have shown progress on implementation are honored by the Wisconsin RtI Center’s Recognized Schools Program.

taining up to three separate fluids. Astronauts will activate the experiment in space by releasing a clamp to mix samples. Students will simultaneously conduct the same experiment on land in order to compare results in low versus earthbound gravity. Beesley explained that the microgravity project aligns well to the next-generation science curriculum now on the horizon. “Authentic, project-based learning is a great example of the Common Core approach,” he said, referring to the recently adopted curriculum standards that integrate reading, writing and math instruction into all academic subjects. Students will practice skills in proposal writing and presentation as part of the project. The SSEP is spearheaded by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education, a nonprofit organization that inspires the next generation of scientists and engineers by engaging their natural human impulse to be curious and explore. “If we as a nation are to compete in the 21st century, we must begin to teach science as a process of discovery, like science itself,” said Center Director Dr. Jeff Goldstein, adding that the student competition follows the approach used by NASA to select research projects designed by professional scientists. The SSEP (http://ssep.ncesse.org) is a program of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE). It is enabled through a strategic partnership with DreamUp, PBC and Nanoracks, LLC, which are working with NASA under a Space Act Agreement as part of the utilization of the ISS as a National Laboratory.

GRANTSBURG—This fall, 6-12 grade science students at the iForward Middle and High Schools, along with students from Grantsburg’s Middle and High Schools, will compete for a chance to fly an experiment on the International Space Station. iForward is recognized as the first K-12 school in Wisconsin and the first online school anywhere to participate in the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP). Starting in early September, students will learn about forces and motion in science classes, then break into teams to design research proposals for microgravity experiments. In November, a committee of local i-Forward/Grantsburg scientists will select one proposal from each school to submit to a national selection committee where one proposal will be selected to fly to the International Space Station (ISS). Forty other school communities in the United States are also participating in Mission 12 of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program and will have an experiment selected to fly to the ISS. Learning and activities around the microgravity experiment will constitute the first quarter science curriculum at the participating schools and offer a valuable opportunity to engage students in real-world learning experiences, according to Billy Beesley, coordinator of SSEP for the school system. “Gravity affects every biological, chemical and physical system we encounter each day, so these experiments could provide data with important implications in science, engineering, medical and other fields,” he said. The experiments will consist of a “mix stick,” con-

The dangers of alcohol are well known, yet onethird of all traffic crashes still involve drinking and driving. In 2016 in Wisconsin, 143 people were killed and more than 2,900 injured in alcohol-related crashes. These deaths are tragic, but all of them were preventable. It was the driver’s choice to drive while under the influence which makes these crashes and not accidents. Law enforcement is out to stop these senseless deaths. There were more than 28,000 arrests and 24,700 convictions for drinking and driving in Wisconsin last year. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Department reported 75 Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) arrests in 2016. (These numbers do not include State Patrol or the village police department data.) Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can become a decision you regret for the rest of your life. If you hurt or kill someone in a crash, you may face very serious charges such as vehicular homicide causing great bodily harm and OWI causing injury. You could be facing jail or prison time, years of probation and a huge financial burden, not to mention the guilt and embarrassment as you face your friends, family and the community. Driving under the influence is not only be deadly, but expensive. Fines range from $500 to $1,100 dollars for the first offense. Other costs include – but aren’t limited to – towing, lost work time, higher insurance rates, court costs, fees for an attorney and losing your driver’s license. The safest thing to do is to have a plan. Before you drink, designate a sober driver. If you will be drinking, give your car keys to a sober friend at the beginning of the evening and don’t ask for them back. If you are feeling the effects of the alcohol you have drunk, it is likely you are over the legal limit and should not drive. Rather than risking an OWI arrest, call a friend or family member for a ride. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

Deer baiting, feeding is legal again in northwest Wisconsin BY JULIE HUSTVET
The ban on feeding whitetailed deer in Barron, Burnett, Polk, and Washburn counties has been lifted. It had been in place since May 10, 2012, after chronic wasting disease was discovered in a wild whitetailed deer on private land in Washburn County. The four counties are among the 15 where feeding became legal through Wisconsin Senate Bill 68 (Act 41) being signed into law on Wednesday, Aug. 2. The other counties are Calumet, Clark, Dodge, Jackson, Kenosha, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, and Waushara

counties. Feeding bans remain in 28 of the state’s counties. The bill overrode the previously indefinite bans in counties and adjacent counties where Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been found. The new law limits a ban in the county where CWD is found to three years if no new cases arise there and two years in the neighboring counties. The bill was authored by Sen. Terry Moulton (R-Chippewa Falls) and Rep. Adam Jarchow (R-Balsam Lake). It passed the Senate on a 20-13 vote and 60-37 in the Assembly. Spooner Advocate

It didn’t ttake long until he decided m maybe I wasn’t so bad aftter all! Shelter environment Boris can be stressful with all the barking and the people coming and going. It’s something we keep in mind with the four-footed friends staying with us. Wow – things are moving fast since I last let you know what’s new! The old building has left the premises. It couldn’t have gone smoother, with many eyes watching as it was carefully maneuvered around the propane tank and through the gate. With a wave goodbye from us, it was onto its new lease in life in Danbury. Well done and thanks, Brian Hegge! A couple of weeks ago, I told you about a young German Shepherd named Frank who needed surgery. I am happy to report he is recovering well and is settling into his new home – a perfect fit for this handsome dog.

Albert (Bud) Dahlberg
George Briggs
Albert (Bud) Nathan Dahlberg, 92, loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather of Grantsburg, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday, Aug. 7 at his residence at the Parmly facility of Chisago City, Minn. The funeral service to c celebrate Bud’s wonderful llife will be conducted at 111 a.m. on Saturday Aug. 226 (visitation 10-11 a.m.)at F Faith Lutheran Church in G Grantsburg. Interment will b be at Riverside Cemetery of G Grantsburg. Bud was born on March 9, 11925 in Grantsburg, the first c child of Frank and Edna D Dahlberg. He was named after his maternal grandfather, Albert Larson, but was known all his life as “Bud.” Bud graduated from Grantsburg High School, registered for the Selective Service in 1943 and joined the Army soon after, serving in Korea and earning the rank of Staff Sargent. He was an admirable example of patriotism, steadfastly and passionately defending the values of our country. His entire career was spent at Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company, where he served many roles from line construction foreman to fabrication and installation of equipment. He was particularly proud of the spotless lifetime safety record for himself and his crew on the powerlines. In his adult life, fishing and hunting were his passions. He landed hundreds of muskies over his lifetime on lures he constructed himself. His dedication to every detail when it came to accuracy with his rifles and bows was extraordinary. As a youth, he was a gifted and talented member of Grantsburg’s baseball, basketball and football teams, and was an avid ski jumper. In the early 1960s, he formed and served as president of the Grantsburg Ski Club, spearheading the building of a 30-meter ski jump in Grantsburg for local youth. He is survived by his son Tim, granddaughter Emily, great-granddaughter Ellery, grandsons Brett and Hans; son Larry (Marilyn) Dahlberg, granddaughter Melanie (Craig) Weber, great-grandchildren June and Vaughn; daughter Wendy (Paul) Hendricks, grandson Jason Hendricks, great-grandchildren Jared, Jordynn and Taylor; grandson Michael (Suzanne), great grandchildren Isabelle, Alyson, Lindsey, Jake Helland; son Daniel (Beverly) Dahlberg, grandchildren Sarah (Brian) Dunlavy, great-granddaughter Landrie, granddaughter Nyssa (Rob) Lieder, great grandsons Lincoln and Lenard, and grandson Nathan (Angelique) Dahlberg; granddaughter Lucy Dahlberg, grandchildren, Nicole and Benjamin Davis. Also surviving is a brother, Verner (Violet); half siblings John Dahlberg and Jane (Joe) Yira; plus many nieces, nephews, other extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Dorothy in 2014 to whom he was married for 67 years; a grandson, Aaron Dahlberg, and half sibling Kae Christenson. Online condolences may be made at www.mattsonfuneralhome.com. Cards and memorials may be directed to Mattson Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 343 N. Shore Drive, Forest Lake, MN 55025.
George Clyde Briggs, 79, of Webster passed away Monday, Aug. 14, 2017. The funeral service was held Saturday, Aug. 19 at Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home of Webster, with Pastor Jay Ticknor officiating. Interment was at Oak G Grove Cemetery in Webster. A fellowship luncheon folllowed at Webster Communitty Center. Casketbearers were Rand dy Briggs, Craig Briggs, D Dylan Longhenry, Dan W Whalen, Louie Derusha and M Mike Taczala. George was born to Clyde A A. and Rose V. (LeMire) B Briggs on Feb. 1, 1938 in St. P Paul. He attended public schools in St. Paul, and graduated from Murray High School in 1957, where he was a hockey player. He and his teammates played in one of the first television broadcasts of the Minnesota state hockey tournaments. On Aug. 18, 1958, George was united in marriage to Eileen Laurice Whalen at Bethel Lutheran Church in Saint Paul. They made their home on Little Wood Lake in Burnett County in 1978, and moved to the Webster area in 1985. George and Eileen were four days shy of celebrating 59 years together. He was employed as a dispatcher by the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department and jailer at the Burnett County Jail for more than 15 years. He previously was an over-the-road tanker truck driver for Indianhead Gas Company and then was associated with Minnesota/Wisconsin Truck Lines. George enjoyed playing hockey and loved watching his kids and grandkids play hockey. He also enjoyed golf and was a member of two local leagues. During the summer months, George and the kids would camp on Little Wood Lake, and in the winter, they would play hockey. He and Eileen enjoyed their family and their friends. George was quite the “jack of all trades.” He enjoyed woodworking, welding, working on small engines and tinkering in the garage. He loved to go to Hertel to play Keno and to golf. George is survived by his loving wife, Eileen; children: George L. (Laurie) Briggs, William A. Briggs and Michael P. Briggs; daughter-in-law, Julie Pfluger; grandchildren: Randy Briggs, Lydia Pfluger, Craig (Ashley) Briggs and Allison (Dylan) Longhenry; great-grandchildren, Lyman and Hannah Briggs; sister, Sharon Van Hees; brothers, James (Ruth) Briggs and Kurt (Ann) Godden; other family and friends. Preceding him in death were his parents and stepfather, Roy Godden; son, Timothy; and daughter-in-law, Michele. Online condolences may be expressed at www.swedberg-taylor.com.

Author Mary DesJarlais shares her family moonshine SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
WEBSTER—To be more accurate, the Minnesota author shared a chapter of her novel about an old family business— selling moonshine during prohibition. Mary DesJarlais was surrounded by many of her Burnett County readers last Thursday at the Larsen Family Public Library in Webster as she read from her 2011 novel Dorie LaValle, A Minnesota story of moonshine and murder. The book’s protagonist, Dorie LaValle is based on the author’s grandmother. Before she began writing this story, DesJarlais discovered a photograph of her grandmother that sparked her pen into motion. “There was something about her bold pose and take-no-prisoners expression that made me ask more questions about her. I found out that she had been married, divorced, widowed over her life and that she had made and sold moonshine in Osseo in the 1920’s,” she said. The novel depicts the tribulations and successes of a beginning of the century woman turned witty and law busting entrepreneur. As Dorie grows her moonshine production, she enlists the help
Mary DesJarlais
of others and soon is suspected of illegal activity. This is a story of survival in a rare form. DesJarlais spent a summer at the Iowa Writers’ Summer Workshop were she enjoyed the help of distinguished writers and dedicated time to develop her craft. She calls herself an organic writer, one that rarely plots a story out but rides instinct until the tale is told. “It’s a roller coaster ride. I’m never sure if the track is going to keep going,” she said. DesJarlais is currently working on a second novel and hopes to share it with her readers soon.

A record setting night
On the Pirates’ first offensive possession, they marched down the field and scored on a quarterback keeper by Luke Anderson; however, the two-point conversion attempt failed. Cumberland threatened to score on the next series, but the Pirates forced a fumble in the red zone to take over on offense. On the first play of the second quarter, John Chenal pounded his way into the endzone for his first score of the night. He also ran in the two-point conversion to put the Pirates up 14-8.
BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
CUMBERAND—The Grantsburg Pirates opened the 2017 season in grand fashion Friday night, setting several individual and team records as well as making their mark in the state record books. For the fans it was an offensive showcase as the Pirates rushed for 631 yards, while the Cumberland Beavers racked up 530 yards in the air. When the dust settled after nearly three and a half hours, the Pirates came away with a 7252 win to start their season at 1-0. “I’ve never been a part of a game like that one,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “Both offenses couldn’t be stopped and it felt like the game was never going to end. We feel fortunate to escape with the win and start off 1-0.” Grantsburg’s offense was led by senior captain John Chenal, who set four school records during the game (see inset), racking up 435 rushing yards and seven total touchdowns. He tallied six rushing TDs and had one intereception return for a score. Chenal’s big night landed his name in the state record books in several catagories. His record setting night also garnered him a “Player of the Week” nomination on WSN (Wisconsin Sports Network) which, as of press time, he was leading in votes. “On offense, our O-line had a great first game coming off the ball and executing schemes,” Hale said. “John Chenal was incredible all night and even when there wasn’t a hole, he made one and had a lot of yards after contact. Rushing for 435 yards and scoring seven touchdowns

in a game not only was a record setting night, but crucial as we needed every point we could get. Right behind him, Leo Chenal was terrific as well, rushing for 171 and scoring twice on half the carries. Leo also had two more fantastic runs called back on penalties.” Cumberland’s offense was led by an outstanding quarterback, Kobe Berghammer, who will most likely be the best QB the Pirates face this season. The Beavers struck first on their opening drive on a nine yard pass by Berghammer, followed by a two-point conversion
to take the lead 8-0. “Kobe Berghammer was absolutely terrific for Cumberland and every time we got them in a third and long or a fourth down situation, he seemed to break a tackle, escape the pocket and fire it downfield 30 yards right on the money,” coach Hale said of the talented Berghammer. “Cumberland’s skill kids did a great job catching the ball and were very elusive after the catch. We definitely need to work on finishing tackles and breaking down under control on defense.”

Dragons lose season home opener to ‘Greens BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
SIREN—The field conditions were great, considering the amount of rainfall that had come. The Dragon crowed was supportive. The temperature was comfortable. But these factors didn’t help the Dragons Thursday night as they lost their home and season opener to the Northwood Evergreens by a 60-37 margin. An Evergreens 6’5” junior wide out “must have had over 350 yards receiving,” said Dragon coach Ryan Karsten following the game. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Dragons were forced to punt with Northwood taking over on the Siren 42 yard line. On their second play from scrimmage, the ‘Greens fumbled the ball away with the Dragons recovering. A 12 play, 56 yard drive ended with Dolan Highstrom pounding the ball over from the five yard line. The point after touchdown kick was good and the Dragons were up 7-0. It didn’t take long for Northwood to respond as on the

first play after the kickoff, Ethan Volz raced 45 yards for the score. The two point conversion was successful and Northwood led 8-7 with 5:33 left in the first quarter. A seven play, 65 yard drive resulted in a Dragon score when Dolan Highstrom got it over from the four yard line. The highlight on this drive was a 44 yard pass from Dolan to Derek Highstrom. The two point conversion failed, yet the Dragons were up 13-8. After a Northwood punt, the Dragons took over at their own 32. Eight plays later, Dolan again ran the ball across from 15 yards out. The two point conversion failed. Siren 19, Northwood 8. Three plays after the kickoff, a Brandon Daleiden to Hunter Phillips 34 yard pass play netted six for Northwood. The two point conversion was good. The Dragon lead had dwindled to 19-16. Siren’s Cordell Fischer scored next on a 30 yard run with the PAT failing and the Dragons had a 25-16 advantage.

Tigers win at Lake Holcombe BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
LAKE HOLCOMBE—“I thought the boys effort was great on Friday night,” said Webster Tiger coach Andy Smith. “Coach Moser and Coach Anderson have done a great job putting together an exciting offense. With putting players in motion and trading the tight end, it gives the defense a lot to prepare for. We need to do a better job of route running. The offensive line did a great job of pass blocking this week giving Trevor time to find the open receiver.” After no scoring in the first quarter, the Tigers got on the board in the second frame with a one yard plunge by Trevor Gustafson. The point after touchdown by Dustin Kern was good and the Tigers were up 7-0. The third quarter was also scoreless for both squads as it ended up being a defensive battle. Trenton Wols ran the ball across in the fourth quarter from seven yards out. Kern, again, was perfect on the PAT, helping the Tigers to a 14-0 advantage. Lake Holcombe-Cornell broke the scoreless string by getting the ball across the line on a six yard run by Cooper Boehm. The conversion failed and that ended the scoring for both teams. “Defensively our kids all flew to the football. We have some things to clean up, but it was a nice way to start the season,” said Smith Trenton Wols was the leading rusher for the Tigers with 77 yards on 23 carriers. Trevor Gustafson had nine attempts for 35 yards. The leading receiver for Webster was Brad Sigfrids with three catches for 23 yards. Hunter Gustafson led the defense with nine solo tackles and three assists. Hunter, Trevor Gustafson and Austin Moser each had an interception for the Tigers. The Tigers continue on the road this Friday with a 7 p.m. game at Turtle Lake.
PIRATES: records set in wild 72-52 win over Cumberland CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16
The Pirates were able to make a defensive stop on Cumberland’s next series thanks to a big sack by sophomore Ramsey Clark, but a few plays later they lost a fumble giving it right back to the Beavers who then scored on a 47-yard pass play. The two-point conversion was good, making it a 14-16 game. John Chenal would get his second touchdown of the night from 16 yards out, followed by a two-point conversion by Leo Chenal to give the Pirates back the lead at 22-16. With 1:36 left in the half, Grantsburg struck again. This time it was Leo Chenal taking it 65 yards for the score. Anderson tossed it to John Chenal for the extra two points to go up 30-16 at the break. The Pirates received the kick to start the second half, and on the very first play from scrimmage John Chenal took it 67 yards to tally his third touchdown of the night. He ran in the extra points as well to make it a 38-16 contest. Cumberland was not going to go away, and they scored to bring it to 24-38. But the Pirates answered right back with a six-yard run by John Chenal to paydirt. The conversion failed, making it 44-24. But as usual, the Beavers came right back. Berghammer scrambled and broke a tackle to toss it down the field to

a receiver for a 34-yard touchdown. The conversion was good to tighten the gap, 32-44. The Pirates next offensive series ended with an interception, and on the very next play Cumberland scored on a 27yard pass play. Grantsburg stood strong on the goal line and the conversion failed, making it 36-44. Can you guess what happened next? Yep, you got it — The Pirates answered with a score of their own. It was John Chenal from 33 yards out for his fifth score of the night. The conversion failed
to bring the score to 50-36. Cumberland’s Berghammer threw a screen pass to Riley Bodgsberg who zigged and zagged, breaking several tackles to make his way to the endzone for the score. He then found his receiver in the back of the end zone for the twopoint conversion to make it 44-50. But again, the Pirates answered back as Leo Chenal ran it in from 24 yards out for his second touchdown of the night. He also ran in the conversion to go up 58-44. The Beavers weren’t done yet and scored on an eight-yard pass play. A failed conversion ended their scoring at 52-58. John Chenal would find the endzone two more times this night. Once on a five-yard run, and later on a rare mistake by Berghammer he would take an interception 50 yards for the final score to finish the game, 72-52. The Pirates would rack up a whopping 728 yards of total offense for the game, and Cumberland totaled 531 total yards — 530 of those were passing yards. Leo Chenal, Anderson and Ben Johnson led the defense with eight solo tackles each. Gabe Chenal was next on the list with four solos and two assists. The Pirates will travel to Frederic this Friday for another non-conference game against the Vikings. Game time is 7 p.m.
DRAGONS: Siren looks to bounce back after opening loss CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16
The Daleiden to Phillips combo struck again on a 32 yard touchdown pass play. Again the two point conversion was good and the Dragons held a slim 25-24 lead. Siren got as far as the Northwood 45 before being forced to punt. With Northwood starting on their own 20, a 45 yard pass by the ‘Greens got the ball to the Siren 35. After two penalties (one to each team) and two incomplete passes by Northwood, the third pass hit paydirt for the Evergreens as time expired ending the half. The conversion was good and Northwood led 32-25 at the half.
Northwood scored less than a minute into the third quarter on a 47 yard touchdown pass play. The two point conversion failed. Both teams were forced to punt on each of their next possessions. Then Siren got a boost on a 65 yard touch down running play by Derek Highstrom. The two point conversion failed. Northwood 38, Siren 31. The ‘Greens got one more score in the third quarter and prevented the Dragons from reaching the goal line In the final frame, Northwood would score twice, once on a three yard run and the other on a 10 yard run. The Dragons, in between the two Northwood scores, got a 14 yard touch-
down run from Tyler Anton. The conversion failed. Northwood 60, Siren 37. “We did some good things, some bad things,” commented Karsten. “We ran the ball well early and for two-thirds of the game we gave it all we had, and we just ran out of juice. “They have a lot of seniors and this is their year to win the conference. “The field was not an issue tonight. Their 6’5” receiver was the issue, but we got out of here pretty healthy tonight. “Next week we’ll run the ball and we’ll see what we can do,” concluded the coach. This week, the Dragons travel to Alma Center to play Lincoln on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m.

Report shows tobacco still deadly problem in Burnett BURNETT COUNTY—A report released by the UW-Milwaukee Center for Urban Population Health provides new details on the number of Wisconsin lives taken by tobacco use – including in Burnett County. The report shows that an average of 33 people in Burnett County died annually from tobacco use during 20112015. The report also shows that 24 percent of Burnett County residents were current cigarette smokers between 2011-2015, and that 30 percent of pregnant women smoked during their pregnancy. “It’s discouraging to see the Burnett County smoking rate higher than the state rate of 17 percent,” said spokesperson Elizabeth Hagen of Western Wisconsin Working for Tobacco Free Living Coalition (W3TFL). The group is committed to reducing tobacco’s burden in Barron, Burnett, Pierce, Polk, Rusk and St. Croix counties. W3TFL is working to help interested apartment owners, schools and businesses update their tobacco policies to include e-cigarettes, as these products are not cov-
ered by the Smoke-Free Air laws of Wisconsin. The group is also implementing youth prevention programs like “FACT” and “WI Wins” to help keep tobacco out of the hands of our youth. In addition to the local work of W3TFL, “Wisconsin’s First Breath” program is available to help pregnant women quit tobacco use. Wisconsin men and women who are ready to quit should call 1-800-QUIT NOW to receive free help and quit tobacco medications from the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line. Since it was established in 2001, the Quit Line has helped more than 200,000 callers. For more on local tobacco prevention control efforts: • Visit the W3TFL website: www.W3TFL.org • Like us on Facebook: https://www. facebook.com/W3TFL • Quitting smoking : www.wiquitline. org or Call 1-800-QUIT NOW • First Breath: https://www.wwhf.org/ first-breath/

ly conduct (class B misdemeanor). During the plea hearing on Aug. 18, the second count was amended to domestic battery down from substantial battery -domestic abuse. Counts one and two were read-in and dismissed. Bruss plead no contest and was dealt two years probation and ordered to undergo an AODA assessment and a mental health evaluation. The court also demands Bruss participate in a domestic abuse program and be enrolled within 30 days of the sentence; failure to complete this program could lead to revocation. In addition, a charge of domestic abuse battery carries with it a lifetime second amendment prohibition. Sean Devlin, Sentinel
Wisconsin to use electric fences to stop bear crop damage MADISON (AP) — Wildlife officials in Wisconsin may use methods such as electric fencing to stop bears from damaging crops. Over the last seven years, about 275 farmers have enrolled in a state program that compensates farmers for damage bears cause. Last year’s appraised damage was $220,000, Wisconsin Public Radio reported . Department of Natural Resources wildlife damage specialist Brad Koele said there are about 28,000 bears across the state. He says problematic bears are typically trapped and relocated, but that finding them all can be challenging. Koele said the state is giving more farmers bear hunting permits. The agency also plans to help farmers in-
stall electric fences, despite concerns about the fences’ effectiveness because of issues such as electrical shorts, he said. The crop damage program also applies to elk. The state has paid nearly $250,000 to install fences around five Jackson County cranberry marshes. Some growers are using paintball guns to scare away animals, Koele said. “Doesn’t hurt `em,” Koele said. “Probably stings them a little bit, and just kind of reinforces that natural fear that that’s not a good place to be in and whether its field or cranberry operation, hopefully they’ll stay out of there.” University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is testing out using drones to scare away the animals, he said.

Committee of the Burnett County Board of Supervisors authorizes the Forest Administrator and/or Assistant Forest Administrator to act annually on behalf of the Burnett County Board of Supervisors to submit applications for funding, to sign all documents, to expend funds appropriated and the funds received from the State of Wisconsin for projects which have been approved, and to take all action necessary to direct and complete the approved projects. Chairman Taylor presented the resolution sponsored by the Natural Resources Committee. Motion to approve Resolution 2017-17 County Conservation Aids Grant was made by Supervisor Bickford, seconded by Supervisor Sybers. Motion carried, voice vote. 2016 PRELIMINARY AUDIT RESULTS Chairman Taylor introduced April Anderson of CliftonLarsonAllen, LLC who led the team preparing the county’s 2016 audit. Ms. Anderson presented a preliminary summary which included general fund balances, non-spendable, restricted, assigned and unassigned funds, revenues, expenditures, special revenue fund balances, debt service funds, capital project funds, internal service funds, long-term obligations and general obligation debt. The overall ratings and financial work and input in preparation for the audit were very good. Administration Ehalt reviewed a five-year history of the Health and Human Services Department budget noting for the past several years the money provided back into the general fund were significant and helped with county needs. That is not the case this year and it will be more of a challenge for budgeting. The county will continue to monitor and review the 25% reserve policy and take a look at what it is truly tied to. Additional proposals and policy changes may come forward once the policy and funds are reviewed further. Chairman Taylor noted the levy limits imposed on counties will become quite challenging for budgeting purposes. We have been able to stay ahead of that partially through several retirements over the past years and absorbing the work of that position within the departments. APPOINTMENT TO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM TO EXPIRE JULY 2020 – MARVIN STOLL AND DENNIS QUINN AND POSSIBLE VACANT APPOINTMENT Motion to approve the appointment of Marvin Stoll and Dennis Quinn to a three-year term to expire July 2020 was made by Supervisor Lundberg, seconded by Supervisor Byrne. Motion carried, voice vote. COUNTY BOARD CHAIR REPORT Chairman Taylor reported there are a few interesting proposals at the state concerning the state budget and everyone is waiting for a final version to be presented. There is a Wisconsin Counties Association Board meeting in August where Chairman Taylor, along with other board members will be working on resolutions for the fall conference. COMMITTEE CHAIR REPORTS Administration Committee report was given by Chairman Taylor. Public Safety Committee report was given by Supervisor Pardun.
Infrastructure Committee report was given by Supervisor Gronski. Health and Community Services Committee report was given by Supervisor Sybers. Natural Resources Committee report was given by Supervisor Peterson. Land Use and Information Committee report was given by Supervisor Bickford. Chairman Taylor was excused at 10:30 a.m. Vice-Chairman Peterson will now chair the meeting. ADMINISTRATOR REPORT Administrator Ehalt reported on the 2018 budget guidelines and will be looking at potential enforcement funds for the drug problem within the county. We will not be able to fund all the needs for this issue but will try to figure out some of the needs. Looking at the last three years we have had to absorb seven or eight positions to be able to make the budget. We are looking at absorbing three additional positions through attrition in order to continue to meet our budget with the levy restraints being imposed on counties by the state. We dropped below the 25% threshold for unassigned funds and we will need to reevaluate this. The Workplace Enhancement meeting will be held this afternoon. We will be talking about the 2018 budget. We may not have resources for raises. The first floor remodel will move forward so we can save future dollars by consolidating departments so they will require fewer staff and we will see capital equipment savings with less equipment needs. The 100 day construction period will start soon and during that time the Zoning and Land Use departments will be temporarily located at the airport building. The newly formed Economic Development Task Force will hold its first meeting soon and the county will look at what we can do with job creation and valuation within the county and partners we can work with to increase our revenue in the future to help meet county needs. We will continue to look at how we can be more effective and efficient with our workforce. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS There were no future agenda items. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn the July 20, 2017, meeting was made by Supervisor Lund, seconded by Supervisor Sybers. Motion carried, voice vote. Meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m. State of Wisconsin County of Burnett I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Proceedings of the Burnett County Board of Supervisors Meeting held on the 20th day of July 2017, as recorded by Wanda Hinrichs and kept by me as County Clerk.

Rejoice in the season
George Selbher Associate Pastor Grace Baptist Church Grantsburg, Wisconsin
I am grateful to live in an area of the world that enjoys all four seasons. As a young boy, I never gave much thought to which season I enjoyed the most. No matter the time of year, I simply longed to live each day to the full and made the most of life regardless of temperature, precipitation, or amount of daylight. As I have grown older I have tended to favor the warmer seasons when the lake is blue, the grass is green, the skies are filled with sun all day long, and water falls from the sky in the form of rain. From May through August my spirit soars with delight as I revel in what I believe to be the best season of the year.

ness of God through the long winter months a little ways down the road. Moreover, throughout every kind of season of life - for those who belong to Jesus Christ as Brothers and Sister in Him – we have each other all year long, all lifelong. May we continually enjoy and be thankful for all four seasons God created for us through which He reveals Himself to us, and may we always enjoy the season that is our life on earth made in the image of God to proclaim the excellencies of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord who calls us out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9).
As our all-too-brief summer quickly fades into what almost always seems to be a shortened fall, we all know not to long from now we will embark upon four plus months of the cold, winter weather. When I lose sight of how God created winter for His glory and my joy, I can easily spiral into a funk and miss the many blessings that flow from December, January, February, and March. Celebrating the birth of Jesus, reminders of how Jesus has turned my scarlet sin as white as snow, Valentine’s Day, hot chocolate, winter sports, and sweet fellowship with family in the coziness of a warm home all serve to quicken my spirit to the good-

Oktoberfest “I don’t have a wooden heart” she sang before the jolly Danbury Oktoberfest goers. The 17th Annual Danbury Oktoberfest sponsored by the Danbury Lions boasted German bier, bratwurst, sauerkraut and weiners. The Dan Zimmer Band from Webster and Bill Koncar of Minneapolis got feet tapping as did the performances by the Edelweiss Schuhplatter Dancers and the Riverside Cloggers from Taylor Falls, MN. During the event, all the happy people under the tent broke out in song to celebrate Klaus Nieder’s 80th birthday. Klaus is pictured below in the middle showing off his moves on the dance floor.
