New Enterprise building coming to Grantsburg

Two-year old McKenzie Landing stabbing case set for trial

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––A new Enterprise building has been approved in Grantsburg and McNally Industry could be moving in soon. The Northwest Regional Planning Commission (NWRPC) approved the project with the hope of the approximately $1.037 million building to be completed in February of 2019. The NWRPC executive committee met last Wednesday in Grantsburg to discuss the project and get a look at the site. NWRPC Executive Director, Sheldon Johnson, said the project was still “fluid in motion,” because they had only opened bids the day before the meeting. Rick Roeser, of the NWRPC, gave a broad presentation of the project to the committee and told the SEE NWRPC, PAGE 2

BURNETT COUNTY–– Allen Gene Thomas, 55, Pepin, will be in the Burnett County Courthouse this week for his trial for charges of aggravated battery stemming from an incident in July of 2016. Thomas allegedly stabbed two men in the throat at McKenzie Landing Bar and Restaurant in the Town of Scott. He is facing two counts of aggravated battery with intent to cause Allen Thomas great bodily harm, a class E felony. If convicted on both counts he faces a possible 30 years in prison and $100,000 in fines. Thomas was initially charged with two counts of attempted first degree intentional homicide, a class A felony, but those charges were dropped in April. He also has open cases in Pepin and

Eight more cases of severe bleeding and hospitalizations due to “fake weed” in Wisconsin Wisconsin continues to see cases of severe bleeding following the use of synthetic cannabinoids, often called “fake weed,” “K2,” and “spice.” The bleeding occurs as these products contain rat poison (brodifacoum). Overall, Wisconsin has seen 54 cases since March of this year, with 40 confirmed and 14 probable. Counties with confirmed cases include

Dane, Milwaukee, Outagamie, and Rock. “There have been eight new cases in the last two weeks,” said State Health Officer Karen McKeown. “We strongly urge people to stop using these drugs. If you or someone you know has a serious reaction to synthetic cannabinoids, call 911 or go to the emergency department right away.”

‘We strongly urge people to stop using these drugs.’ Karen McKeown, State Health Officer Even if you are not bleeding, see a doctor if you have used synthetic cannabinoids. You may be at risk for bleeding as this product can stay in your system

NWRPC: Enterprise building will expand Grantsburg Industrial Park CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

committee the one hold up with the project could be the sale of another building that would give the NWRPC enough capitol to begin building the new Enterprise building. During the presentation Roeser explained how the building would be funded and after it was built would be leased to McNally Industries. It will be a 17,500 square-feet and located in the field near the corner of Industrial Ave. and Borg Road in the Grantsburg Industrial Park. When the committee went to the site some of the members asked about how big Grantsburg was and were stunned to learn that the village of less than 1,500 could have so much industry. A large part of that is due to these Enterprise buildings, this one will be Enterprise 2.1, the NWRPC’s commitment to helping businesses. “This project and others we’ve done are about getting more economic development into the area by helping businesses,” Roeser explained. “It’s not just small businesses or start-ups, we try and help any business owner that maybe can’t afford to build a new structure or buy a building.”

The site of the new Enterprise building that will be built by the NWRPC and then leased to McNally Industries. It will be located behind McNally on Industrial Avenue.

Troy Goetz of McNally came to the site and said, “I can’t hire fast enough.” He stated there are 101 employees at the McNally site in Grantsburg. Jim Segelstrom, Senior Vice President and General Manager at McNally, sent a letter of intent to occupy the Enterprise building and said, “We look forward to watching the process unfold.” Burnett County Chair Don Taylor was in favor of the project and was glad to see Roeser in charge as the project

manager. While standing on Industrial Avenue, committee members were astonished by the industrial park and the amount of workers and work it produces. “Well, this is just an awful lot of industry for such a small town. It’s just unbelievable,” one committee member said. Another commented that, “It’s impressive what’s going on in this industrial park.” The committee approved the bid of around $1.037 million from Northwest Builders out

of Rice Lake. Their plan is to begin pouring concrete Oct. 1 with the steel arriving about a month later. The building would be erected just before Christmas and heating/ventilation/ air conditioning, plumbing and electrical being completed in January. “We have a target completion date for right around Feb. 1, but it’s weather permitting and may get pushed back a couple of weeks,” Roeser said. The committee was asking questions about steel prices

and how international tariffs may effect project costs. “By accepting the bids are we locking those steel prices in?” Committee Chairman Bob Mackie asked. Roeser confirmed that the prices in the bid will be locked in as soon as the contracts are signed. “If we would have waited until next spring to start this project it would be much more expensive,” Roeser said. “It’s very good this got done today, because the prices for steel could get ugly.”

THOMAS: 2016 alleged stabbing case set for trial CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Pierce Counties along with two cases in Burnett County of felony bail jumping. According to the criminal complaint, Sheriff Deputies were responding to a call at McKenzie Landing of a report of two men that had been stabbed in the throat. “Both men had slice-type injuries across their throats, were covered in blood,” and were taken from the scene by ambulance. One of the men said he was approached by a man who “hit” him in the neck and did not realize his throat was cut until he saw a large amount of blood on in shirt. He described to authorities as a “bigger, stocky man with shorter hair and a short beard.” That man later identified Thomas out of a double-blind six-person photo array. When authorities interviewed witnesses saw, “the defendant make a slashing motion” towards the victims throats. Another witness said they saw the defendant with a fold up knife making a slashing motion. Both picked Thom-

as out of a double-blind six-person photo array. Thomas’ brother, Gregory Thomas, confirmed that Allen, “had been at the McKenzie landing the previous evening,” which would have been the night of July 2. Thomas was charged with three counts of perjury last year along with three counts of felony bail jumping. Those charges were also dismissed earlier this year. In Pepin County, Thomas is facing two felony charges of receiving stolen property (>$10,000) and two counts of receiving or concealing stolen property (<$2,500). In Pierce County he faces one felony count of receiving stolen property (>$2,500$5,000), in a separate case he is facing attempted theft of movable property (<=$2,500) The court trial will be in front of Judge Eugene Harrington of Washburn County and is scheduled for Sept. 6, and 7. Assistant District Attorney Daniel Steffen will be prosecuting the case, after District Attorney Bill Norine resigned at the end of August.

Veterans warned of Honor Flight phone scam DULUTH NEWS TRIBUNE

DULUTH, Minn.— Honor Flight Northland is warning people of a phone scam falsely soliciting donations for their organization. Honor Flight Northland told the News Tribune Saturday that people have been receiving phone calls all over the Northland from someone claiming to be from the organization asking for donations with a caller ID that says “Honor Flight.” Honor Flight Northland does not solicit funds this way and this is a scam, said Gerry Herrington, a volunteer for the organization. Her-

rington said the police have been notified. Additionally, If someone calls to set up an Honor Flight, they are not from Honor Flight Northland. The veteran must initiate the participation in an Honor Flight by contacting honorflightnorthland. org or 218-409-6110. There is no charge to the veteran and you will be contacted after you are accepted. Those wishing to donate to the organization can do so by visiting www.honorflightnorthland.org. Their next flight is May 4, 2019.

Some random thoughts

Summer is not officially over, but the rainy first day of school on Tuesday was certainly a sign of Autumn being on its way. The First Day of school was this week for some students. Let me tell you my anxiety spiked just driving past schools on Tuesday morning. I was having terrifying flashbacks to first days of school. Every year the first day was dreaded and full of worry for me. Who was in my class this year? Is four minutes be enough to get to my locker and to the next class? The second day would be less stressful and then by October I would be back in the swing of things. But that’s what kids get for having the whole summer off to relax. Labor Day was once described Sentinel to me as “better than Christmas and New Year’s because it’s not Editor cold. It’s better than Memorial Day Jonathan Richie and Fourth of July because there’s no parade. And y’know what? It’s really just nice to sit outside and drink for one day before the hectic fall begins.” That was a guy I used to work with at a grocery store. He finished his rant by saying there should be a Labor Day every month. A fixed three-day weekend 12 times a year would be fantastic. Turns out he was right about the no parade part, but according to the U.S. Department of Labor the first proposal to celebrate the day would be, “a street parade to exhibit to the public ‘the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations’ of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families.” I imagine that would be quite the site in 1882, when the first Labor Day was celebrated in New York City, a bunch of union bosses strutting down the street. Like most Americans, I took the day off on Monday. As summer quickly ends with chilly late August nights/mornings, fall is quickly approaching. The only issue I have with these days is once the thermometer reaches 65, my body does not think it will go back. All of a sudden it is ready for sweatshirt weather. So I will be a mess if/when we have one of those days that hits 80 degrees outside and all my internal system wants is those 50 degree days. Packer fans rejoice! The team has signed my beloved Aaron Rodgers to another extension and this year has a new tight end in Jimmy Graham as a solid target. The Pack start their season against the Bears at Lambeau Field. The game should be a great confidence booster for the entire season. Lastly, Packer and Vikings fans should not be worried about the Bears acquiring linebacker Khalil Mack from the Raiders, because well... they’re the Bears. 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.

Kindergarten memories Ah, the first day of school. Time to make new friends, get back in touch with old friends and settle into the rhythms of life. Oh, and the kids get to go back to school, too. All seriousness aside, this time of year brings back a flood of memories, many good, some not so good. When you are a child entering or returning to school, the first day, in many ways, sets the tone for the year. Perhaps that’s why many obsess over wearing the right clothes and making sure they sit at the right table From the at lunchtime. Boil everything down Publisher’s in our society, and it all comes back to tribal loyalties — who gets to sit at Desk the ‘popular’ table. Tom Stangl As many of you with school-aged children read this, your child is now working into new routines, making new friends and learning new things. It’s a very exciting time. When my daughters were in school, I got to take them in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. I called these times my “kid runs,” and I still value the precious 15 minutes when my daughters would spill their guts about what happened during their day. When they do this spouting off, you can learn a great deal about how things are going and where and when you might want to offer advice or intercede on their behalf. (Hint: it works so much better when you are asked in.) I know that each and every one of you can point to a year in your education that changed your life. Perhaps a teacher made a difference and got through to you. Maybe a new friend stood up for you at recess, or chose you during a pickup game. Let’s not forget

the ‘unsung heroes’ of the schools, who have helped countless students: secretaries and support staff, janitors and bus drivers. All of these people played a role in making you the person you are today, whether you realize it or not. I can recall going to school for the first time in Kindergarten. In my school, many years ago and even more miles away, they sorted the incoming classes to tables, identified with animals. I was at the bear table, and for the first week we all wore the obligatory ‘Hello, my name is’ nametags, complete with a sticker of a bear (just in case we forgot what table we were supposed to be at). Back in those days Kindergarten was all about learning letters, coloring, cutting and pasting, afternoon naps, morning and afternoon milk breaks and, of course, recess. The other aspect of Kindergarten that I really didn’t care for was afternoon naptime. I had a chocolate brown rug that I was supposed to lie down on and fall asleep. A concrete tile floor isn’t conducive to sleep at any age. Perhaps the largest change I saw going from student to a parent was the change in level of preparedness for school before starting Kindergarten. Nearly every child today knows more than I did when I started school. I suppose the same was true of my parents when I began school. I hope everyone has a great first day and a good school year. As always, I welcome your input. Please feel free to call me at 715-268-8101, write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001 or email me at tstangl@ theameryfreepress.com. Thanks for reading.

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.

Sheriff candidates weigh in on racial proﬁling By independent candidate for Sheriff, Tracy Finch

What are your policies to prevent racial profiling? The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office has a policy in place guarding against racial profiling. The policy in part states that detainment, investigation and questioning of individuals based on their race, color, nationality or other non-relevant factors will not be tolerated. The policy also states that race, color or nationality shall not be Tracy Finch used as a basis for decisions regarding inmate disciplinary action or for housing in the jail environment. Racism will not be tolerated under my leadership. We will target criminals regardless of their race, color or nationality and treat all equally. I have worked directly with diverse ethnicities both living in and visiting Burnett County. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office will continue these practices. How would you build a coalition with the tribe? I have a strong working relationship with the tribe, tribal members and the tribal police department. I will grow and strengthen that relationship through shared law enforcement efforts

including the Burnett County Drug Task Force and the Burnett County SWAT team. I have worked closely with the St. Croix Tribal Police Department on major drug cases. I have also worked with members of the Native American Drug Gang Initiative which is part of the Wisconsin Department of Justice. By working cooperatively we were able to take a lot of drugs and drug dealers off the streets. I want to bring these investigative practices back to the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office. When we are able to share resources, personnel and train together it not only saves money, but also builds relationships. I will be contacting tribal members to ask if they will be willing to teach our officers about Native American culture. This will allow us to honor traditions, when possible, during law enforcement investigations. I will strive to forge a more positive relationship between the St. Croix Tribe and the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office. By Republican candidate for Sheriff, Chris Sybers

The Minnesota State Fair is known for its crazy food offerings. Every year, I enjoy reading the Star Tribune food critic Rick Nelson’s critique of the Minnesota State Fair’s new foods list. Some years, I’m shocked by what new crazy foods chefs and ordinary but creative people can come up with. This year 27 official new foods deWild Chow buted. Not too many were out of this Lisa Erickson world crazy—except one. My teeth hurt just thinking about biting into a cotton candy rolled burrito type thing stuffed with cotton candy ice cream sprinkled with fruity pebbles. Years ago, I tried the thick bacon on a stick and this huge fried ball stuffed with a hard-boiled egg called a Scotch egg. The bacon was hard and chewy, and the egg was too big for one person. I’d rather hang on to my money and let someone else do the taste testing. Nelson spent ten hours walking almost five miles trying $444.85 worth of food, and consumed tons of calories! One of his favorites was a BLT (Bacon,

lettuce, and tomato) sandwich. The way he described it made me actually want to try one. It was everything I expected it to be—including expensive. But now I know it’s worth the extra effort to make some unique sauces and pestos to take an already good sandwich to, as Nelson put it, “God’s gift to sandwiches.” If you missed it, try this one. It might be even better than the Fair version. No crowds, no entrance fee, hassle-free parking, and you can use up those last few tomatoes from the garden. Best BLT or (God’s Gift to Sandwiches) 1 cup basil-kale pesto (see recipe below) 1 1/3 cup spicy sweet corn spread (see recipe below) 4 large ciabatta rolls, toasted 12 slices bacon, crispy fried 4 large tomato slices 4 large leaves of romaine lettuce Assemble sandwich by spreading the corn spread on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with bacon, tomato, and lettuce. Spread the basil kale pesto on the top half. Repeat for remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.

tolerated within any agency. Any policy may be reviewed, revised or changed at any given time. How would you build a coalition with the tribe? The Siren Police Department already has a great working relationship with the Tribal Police Department. We assist them with calls for service, search warrants and whenever they request assistance. We have two signed agreements, one for mutual aid and one intergovernmental agreement. We have been working Chris Sybers together very well for many years. Whenever they ask for help, we assist them and whenever we ask for help, they assist us. The tribal officers are always willing to help anytime we ask with the assistance of their K-9. We have done many search warrants together in both jurisdictions. I believe this has made a positive impact on crimes that have happened within these jurisdictions. If and when I become sheriff, I will continue this cooperative working relationship and enhance it county wide. There will also be sharing of information between departments, which is something that has not happened with the most recent administrations.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, Several years ago, I worked with then-Detective Tracy Finch, on behalf of a special needs individual, who was being sexually assaulted by an older adult. Detective Finch impressed me with her professionalism, her judgment, and her ability to effectively work as part of a team. Prior to this case, I only knew Detective Finch by reputation. However, during the case I observed her working in different situations during the investigatory and judicial process. She treated the victim with compassion and respect throughout the process, but particularly during the interview process. Even though the perpetrator confessed to multiple acts against the victim, Detective Finch did not stop there. Instead, she continued to investigate to find any other victims. She shepherded me through the process, including meetings with the District Attorney and the County’s Victim Advocate. I believe that Detective Finch would bring these qualities to the office of Burnett County Sheriff. I hope the people of Burnett County will vote for her. Anyone who would like to know more should attend her “Meet and Greet,” on Saturday, Sept.8, 2018, at Hummers Event Center from 4-7 pm. Very truly yours, Kathy Bowers

pedestrian and vehicle stops, arrests, searches and property seizures by law enforcement officers will be based on a standard of reasonable suspicion or probable cause in accordance with the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution not race religion or gender. Therefore, racial profiling will not be tolerated under my administration. Racial profiling is an ineffective and harmful practice that undermines our basic values. In an effort to prevent the perception of biased law enforcement all officers will: • Be respectful and professional. • Introduce or identify themselves to the citizen and state the reason for the contact as soon as practical unless providing this information will compromise officer or public safety. • Ensure the detention is no longer than necessary to take appropriate action for the known or suspected offense. • Attempt to answer any relevant questions the citizen may have regarding the citizen/officer contact in a timely manner. There are other aspects to consider before implementing a racial profiling policy and I believe that speaking about this policy before being elected sheriff would be premature without first consulting legal counsel. But I do believe that racial profiling should never be

THE CAPITOL REPORT

GOP donors give big to party after state campaign ﬁnance changes WISPOLITICS.COM

Mike and Mary Sue Shannon each gave the maximum contribution to Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign in June 2017. The same day Walker’s campaign reported the $20,000 donations from the Denver couple — both are UW-Madison graduates, and Mike Shannon went on to found a multibillion-dollar private equity firm — the state GOP registered $125,000 donations from each of them. Those donations wouldn’t have been allowed under previous Wisconsin campaign finance laws that were first struck down by the courts and then affirmed by a GOP overhaul of the regulations. The Denver couple wasn’t alone in taking advantage of the change. A WisPolitics.com check of donations found 29 donors since Jan. 1, 2015, who contributed a combined $3.3 million to the state GOP after maxing out to Walker. All but three of those contributions were at least $10,000, and more than half of the $3.3 million came from just three donors: Beloit businesswoman Diane Hendricks and Illinois business couple Dick and Elizabeth Uihlein. Wisconsin didn’t previously cap contributions to state parties. But an old restriction limiting donors to an aggregate of $10,000 in contributions to campaigns and committees per year acted as a de facto cap. That annual aggregate limit was thrown out by a federal court in September 2014; and when GOP lawmakers

overhauled campaign finance laws a little more than a year later, they didn’t include any restrictions on the size of donations to political parties. Matt Rothschild of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, which lobbied against the GOP campaign finance bill, said including a cap on donations to political parties of $10,000 would have reflected the intent of the old law. In failing to do so, he said, they made a “mockery” of trying to limit the influence of large donors. The GOP package also doesn’t restrict how much parties or legislative campaigns can transfer to candidates, meaning the Republican Party could funnel those six-figure donations to Walker. Since Jan. 1, 2015, the party has given the governor $74,664, with the largest donation $10,000. “By tearing down the ceiling on contributions to parties, they’ve opened the door to super-rich individuals having an inordinate influence on who gets elected here, what laws get passed here, what policies get pursued here. That’s not democracy,” Rothschild said. Hendricks, who has become a major donor in Wisconsin politics, maxed out to Walker for the cycle in June 2017 then sent donations of $500,000 to the state GOP later that month and again in April. Before hitting the $20,000 mark to Walker, she gave the party $700,000, pushing her overall contributions to the state GOP to $1.7 million since Jan. 1, 2015. The Uihleins, meanwhile, maxed out to Walker in

Fatal accident in Town Of Grantsburg TOWN OF GRANTSBURG –– There was a fatal single-vehicle accident on Highway 70 near Soderbeck Road on Saturday, Aug. 25. Sandra D’Jock, 57, Eagen, Minn. was identified as the driver and the lone occupant of the vehicle. According to the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office, D’Jock was traveling eastbound on Highway 70 when she crossed the centerline and almost hit

an oncoming vehicle. Her vehicle then entered the north ditch and struck a tree. She was transported to Burnett Medical Center where she later died. Grantsburg Fire Department and North Memorial Ambulance also responded to the incident. The investigation is ongoing and no other information was available.

2016. Elizabeth Uihlein gave the party $500,000 after hitting the limit to Walker, while Dick Uihlein contributed $250,000 after maxing out. He gave the party another $200,000 before writing the $20,000 check to Walker, pushing the couple’s total contributions to the party to $950,000. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who spearheaded the rewrite of campaign finance laws, said he didn’t consider a cap on contributions to political parties in co-authoring the bill. The Rochester Republican contended the old system weakened parties, because it encouraged some donors to turn to third-party groups instead. Those third-party groups don’t disclose their donors, while political parties must. He argued the new system strengthens political parties while adding transparency. “Why wouldn’t we want more people to give to a political party, which is disclosable, as opposed to a shadowy, union-funded third-party group that just does attack ads?” Vos told WisPolitics.com in a report published Aug. 24.

Siren Chamber to honor Jake, Bryn, and Tesora at Annual Awards Dinner SIREN—On Tuesday, Sept. 18, the Siren Chamber of Commerce will be holding their Annual Awards Dinner at Northwoods Crossing Event Center. All are invited as Jake Mangelsen, Tesora Restaurant, and Bryn Anderson will be honored as Siren’s 2018 Citizen, Business, and Chamber Volunteer of the Year. The 2018 Citizen of the Year is a very well-deserving Siren native, Jake Mangelsen. Jake is always willing to help with everything either for an organization or for any personal benefits or needs for the area with either his business or personal help. In fact, when answering the call to notify him of his award, he asked, “how can I help you today” followed by stunned, humbled surprise. “He does

these selfless acts not for the notoriety but for the love he has for helping people and the community. We are very lucky that Jake made his home town his family’s home and gives back to Siren. We are all better off knowing Jake Mangelsen.” A Siren Chamber business with ‘significant community service’ is the criteria for the Business of the Year. The 2018 award winner, Tesora, exemplifies this criteria. “This business gives so much to the community, serving us all with great facility space, delicious food and exceptional customer service.

The amount of each distribution is based on how much electricity was purchased by the individual member during those years. Active members will receive a credit on September electric bills; this is a change from past years when members received a Capital Credit check in the mail. Former members will be mailed a check of $10 or more; lesser amounts will be left to accrue for future payouts. “As a member-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperative, Polk-Burnett operates at cost,” said Stroshane. “Any revenue left after annual expenses is allocated and returned to members, according to our cooperative business principles.” Polk-Burnett was established 80 years ago to provide reliable electricity with efficiency and extraordinary service to families, farms and businesses in the rural areas of northwestern Wisconsin that were not served by investor-owned utilities.

Now that the weather is getting cooler at night, it’s time to think about a lap warmer. This week’s pets would certainly love to fill that need for you. Look up “big softie” in the dictionary, and Roscoe’s picture is probably tthere. This six-year-old, b black-and-tan Rottweiler m mix loves nothing better tthan hanging out with p people. Roscoe is a laidb back guy who likes to sstick close to his people, o often leaning in just to be ttouching. And that is a llot of love considering he iis a very solid 90 pounds. R Roscoe is happy to share Roscoe with you and is friendly with most other dogs. He would like nothing better than to snuggle up on the couch with you! Blackjack is a five-month-old male shorthair with black fur and amber eyes. He is probably going to be a medium-sized adult. Blackjack’s siblings were adopted, but he still waits patiently for that special person to notice him. Blackjack is friendly and easy-going and likes attention. He has spent a lot of time at the shelter being handled, so being picked up does not bother him. But Blackjack would love a lap to curl up on. The shelter is still looking for the following items. If you can help, feel free to drop off items during public hours at the Midtown Rd. location. Things currently needed: bitter apple anti-chew Blackjack spray, 13-gallon garbage bags, printer paper, dog biscuits, liquid hand soap (no aloe vera), scoopable cat litter, spray bottles, pet-safe all-purpose cleaner, and canned cat food. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their holiday weekend to have lunch out at the Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption & Education Center. The staff, volunteers, and residents at HSBC appreciate the support! HSBC information—7347 Midtown Road, Siren, WI 54872. Telephone: 715-866-4096. Email hsbc@centurytel.net.

For September, artZ Gallery presents Metamorphosis AMERY—artZ Gallery is an artist-owned and operated gallery with changing monthly exhibits featuring member and guest artists. For September, artZ features the creativity of Dan Flory, Nancy Viebrock and the Artistic Innovations Group. Of his art, Dan Flory states, “Working with wood has been something I have done throughout much of my life; my first recorded effort being at age four. In recent years, I have taken to turning wooden bowls especially bark-edged bowls. I find it a fascinating challenge to take what would otherwise be a piece of firewood and turn it into something of interest and beauty.” Contact Dan at dflory@centurytel.net for additional information. Nancy Viebrock is a practicing artist living in the St Croix Valley. She studied art education at UW-River Falls, and throughout her life has continued her interest in art by taking many workshops and classes from various art institutions and nationally recognized instructors. She also studied in an atelier setting with Mary Pettis for three years. Her training in classical realism eventually gave way to collage and then on to assemblage after taking several classes from J. Fred Woell, Richard Salley, and Michael DeMeng. “I like the variety of working with multiple medias, from metal and assemblage to mixed media acrylic painting. I find each media presents similar problems and solutions, and I like to play them off each other. I might find an idea for a painting while working with assemblage, or use a mini painting in an assemblage piece. I love the surprise element of starting with various pieces or colors, and watching it emerge into something totally unexpected. Basically it is all about having fun!!” Contact Nancy at nancy@viebrock.us for additional information. Artistic Innovations Group Patricia Mayhew Hamm has been teaching classes in her studio for quite a few years. The artists represented in this show are the crème de la crème. Many have been coming to her Chetek studio faithfully every other Tuesday for the past four-five years. They have explored all media and experimented together

on many things. Some of the artists are retired teachers who never had time to explore their love in art. They have bonded into a wonderful cohesive, imaginative group of women who create beautiful things. Participating Members are Patricia Hamm, Judy Paulson, Carol Johnson, Karen Bejin, Mary Gladitsch, Ruth Lundblad, Kristine Crowe, Penny Lane, Judy Dekan and Mary Sauter. Contact Patricia at artinnov@charter.net for additional information. Artists who are interested in exhibiting can pick up application information at the Gallery or visit the website: www.artzgallery.org. artZ Gallery is located at 208 North Keller Ave. in Amery. Regular hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

National Bullying Speaker to visit Siren, Webster and Frederic middle and high school students On Tuesday, Sept.18, author Tom Thelen will speak to the middle and high school students at three local schools about bullying and bully prevention. Thelen will be speaking to Frederic Schools in the morning. Following that - in the afternoon - he will speak to Siren and Webster students in grades 5- 12 at Siren Schools. On Tuesday evening, Siren Schools will be hosting a presentation that will be directed to parents and community members at 6 p.m. Everyone from any community is welcome to attend. Thelen is the founder of the Victimproof Bullying Prevention Program, a curriculum that helps kids speak up to bullying and become a positive influence at their school. “A new study by the U.S. Department of Education shows that 30 percent of sixth graders (national average) experience bullying on a regular basis,” said Thelen. “By the time they reach 12th grade, that number is reduced to 15 percent, which is still way too high,” he said. “If we’re ever going to reduce bullying, we have to give kids practical skills for how to handle it and how to get help.”

As one of America’s top youth motivational speakers, Tom Thelen has spoken at over 500 schools, colleges, and youth organizations. His message helps schools create a positive culture and shows students how to “be the change.” Thelen has been featured on FOX, CBS, PBS, The National Association of Student Councils, The National Honor Society, as well as Student Conferences for 4-H, FFA, FCCLA, and YMCA. In his book, Victimproof – The Student’s Guide to End Bullying, Thelen states, “You can’t control whether or not you get bullied, but you can control whether or not you become a victim.” As a student, Thelen was bullied and got caught in a cycle of victimization. Thankfully one teacher stepped in and helped him develop the character needed to break free from bullying. “It was a total change of mindset,” said Thelen. “I used to carry grudges with anyone who would bully me, but I learned that bitterness was only bringing me down. The thing that changed my life was realizing that my response was totally up to me, and even if I was victimized, I didn’t have to stay a victim forev-

er.” It’s a message that empowers students to speak up for themselves and for others. “My video lessons go way beyond the typical ‘Don’t be a bully message,’” said Thelen. “Kids have heard that message many times, and it’s a good message, but they need to be taught the principles that help prevent bullying in the first place. Things like respect, responsibility, and resiliency.” He went on to describe how resiliency helps students bounce back from bullying. “It may have hurt you in the past, and that’s real, but when you talk it out with a trusted adult you learn how to break free. For me, when I let go of the bitterness, bullying let go of me. I discovered that even if someone else went out of control, I could stay in control,” said Thelen.

September is National Recovery Month and this observance works to highlight inspiring stories that help thousands of people find the path to hope, health, and wellness to support the message that prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover. Mental and substance use disorders can affect people of all ethnicities, ages, genders, geographic regions, and socioeconomic levels. Many individuals who experience a mental or substance use disorder feel isolated and alone. When mental and substance use disorders go untreated they become more complex and more difficult to treat. Intervening early before conditions progress is among the best and most cost effective way to improve overall health. An effective approach to treatment addresses all aspects of the illness, including biological, psychological and social. Those who embrace recovery can also achieve better mental and physical health and form stronger relationships with their community, family members, and peers. It’s important that we offer support to individuals facing mental and substance use disorders. We need to create environments and relationships that promote acceptance. Support from families is essential, so it’s important that family members have the tools to start conversations about prevention, treatment, and recovery. Here are some tips: • Start the conversation –when they are ready to talk – listen • Recognize this is a scary time for the person • Recovery is hard work; practice self-care • Recognize and acknowledge the potential the person has within them • Provide a sober environment that reduces the triggers for using • Do not shield the individual from the consequences of their addiction If you or a family member are in need of local resources please use the SAMHSA Treatment Locator by visiting https://findtreatment.samhsa. gov/ or call 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Jacalyn Sue Pederson Jacalyn Sue Pederson, 65, passed away on August 28, 2018 surrounded by her family in her home after a long and courageous battle with endometrial cancer. A Celebration of Life will be held at 3 p.m., September 15, 2018 at Kilkare Lodge, 28851 Kilkare Rd, iin Voyager Village near D Danbury. In lieu of flowers, Jackiie’s family encourages d donations in her name to R Regional Hospice Services o of Spooner. Jackie was born on Febrruary 20, 1953 in Rushford, M Minn. as the second daughtter to Joseph (John) and J Jeanette Ruschmann. She w was raised in Pennsylvania a and then in Peterson, Minn. in a little house on a hill outside of town. She attended Peterson schools and graduated in 1970 from Peterson High School. Jackie married Kenneth Pederson on December 11, 1971 in Peterson. Jackie and Ken lived in Peterson and then moved to Hollandale, Minn. in 1977 where they lived until moving to Albert Lea, Minn. in 1995. In 2009, Jackie and Ken bought Grandview Resort in Kabetogama, Minn. where their family had vacationed for many years. They had a home in Maplewood, Minn. for several years, and in 2017 they bought a retirement home in Danbury. Jackie started her own cleaning business, “At Your Service,” in 1980 and did this while raising her family and attending college. She graduated from Winona State University in 1991 with a degree in social work and then went to work for Freeborn County Department of Human Services. She attended graduate school at Augsburg College and obtained a master’s degree in leadership. Jackie was a tireless advocate for children and families in her work in child protection and family-based services. In 2015, Jackie took a position with the Minnesota Department of Human Services as a Child Safety and Family Engagement Consultant and was a leader in training child protection staff around the state of Minnesota. Jackie believed in the strength of families and believed in listening to children and advocating for their needs. Jackie loved animals, especially horses and dogs, and had a special way with all of them. She had two cherished horses at her home in Hollandale and many family dogs, especially Duchess, Rudy and Buddy

who she spent countless hours walking with each day. Jackie also enjoyed Callie the Cat who sat with her often while she read and slept and watched over her through her last days. Jackie loved the outdoors, canoeing, boating, camping and simply being in the sunshine. She enjoyed traveling with Ken and loved their trips to Arizona and Mexico. Jackie was a lifelong learner, she was a voracious reader, and studied Buddhism, mindfulness and meditation extensively. Most of all, Jackie adored her family and enjoyed spending time with them. She was the center of her family and enjoyed cooking and spending time with her children and grandchildren, and extended family. She enjoyed watching their sporting events, music events, and everything they were involved in. Jackie was an incredibly creative spirit who made and sent special cards to everyone that she loved. No matter what, Jackie was always there for her children to be a listening ear and to offer unconditional love, support and guidance, even when they didn’t make it easy on her. She was also a devoted and loving wife to her husband for 47 years, they were each other’s biggest fans- with a love that guided their family through everything. Her no-nonsense and ever practical advicesuch as, good sleep and a good meal will solve most any problem- was priceless. She is survived by her one true love, her husband Ken, and her beloved sister Karen (Mark) Sprint; daughter, Diana Hurn; daughter, Lisa Pederson (Louis Kilen); son, Jordan Pederson; and daughter Annika Pederson (Jayme Dean Anderson). She is also survived by grandchildren: Devon, Dominick, Justice and Kierra Hurn; and Ethan and Isaac VanderWaerdt; and by great-grandson, Kaiden Hurn. Jackie was preceded in death by her parents, John and Jeanette Ruschmann. Through her battle against cancer Jackie and her family were held together by the community she created throughout her lifetime. Her family thanks their incredible extended family, and countless amazing friends, especially Gregg VanderWaerdt, for their support and help through her journey. Special thanks also go to the staff at Regional Hospice Services of Spooner for their tireless commitment to Jackie’s care and advocating for her throughout this journey. Jackie’s legacy was one that is built on relationships, kindness, compassion and love. In the last days of her walk on this earth these are the things that she spoke of most often. Her spirit will live on in all of us through these principles. Online condolences may be expressed at www.swedberg-taylor.com.

Young Tigers swept by Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates opened the 2018 volleyball season with a 3-0 sweep of the young visiting Webster Tigers on Tuesday, Aug. 28. Scores were 25-11, 25-9, and 25-13. “Grantsburg’s experience and discipline was clearly apparent,” Tigers head coach Stefani Janssen said. The difference on the two teams’ rosters is glaring. The Tigers have eight sophomores, two juniors and one freshman on their varisty roster. In comparison, the Pirates have eight seniors along with four juniors, a sophomore and a freshman on their varisty roster. Grantsburg obviously holds the edge in varsity experience considering half of the seniors are three-year starters. “Webster is a much better team than the scores reflect. They are young, but they are very skilled and scrappy,” Pirates head coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said of the night. “I’m just thankful we were really clicking as a team so we could keep them off balance. They have so many strong all around players, and were unfortunately without the contributions of one of their starters, Hannah McDowell. We wish her speedy healing and a quick return to the court.” The Pirates jumped out to an early

lead in the first set and never looked back. The Tigers have a tremendous, scrappy defense but seemed to struggle to get any real offense going. “It was not the performance we hoped to start our conference season with, but we were able to pinpoint some areas to work on and will continue to grow as the season progresses,” Janssen said of her Tigers. The second and third sets were much of the same, with the Pirates dominating from the get-go of each set. For the Pirates, it was Linda Harmon and Olivia Ohnstad leading the offensive attack with 11 kills each. Randi Siebenthal added five, Olivia Brock four, and Rachel Tooze two. Brooke Quimby and Hanne Johnson had one kill each. Charli Siebenthal had 21 assists followed by McKenzie Rombach with 10. “As a team, we committed only eight hitting errors and played very good defense. We missed a lot of serves, but had a lot of different players serving,” Allaman-Johnson said. Defensively, libero Jenna McNally led the charge with 14 digs. Harmon had 10 digs with Randi Siebenthal adding nine and Charli Siebenthal three. SEE TIGERS ON PAGE 22

Northwood comeback unsettles Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—“It was a great game between two of the best teams in the North Lakeland Eight Man Conference,” stated Siren coach Ryan Karsten following the 27-16 setback loss on Friday night at Siren. “I thought we had a great game plan and besides one play on the first half, it worked very well. We were up 16-7 at the half with touchdowns from Cordell Fischer on a two-yard run, and a 31-yard touchdown catch by Derek Highstrom from Jordan Webster. We even had the lead at the end of the third 16-13, but we gave up two touchdowns in the fourth.” Siren received the opening kickoff and moved down to the Northwood 21 before a fumble gave the ball to the Evergreens. A Jeffrey Melling-to-Ben Hensen 51-yard touchdown pass put the ‘Greens up 7-0 as the PAT was successful. Siren took the kickoff and moved the ball to the Northwood two yard line where Cordell Fischer plunged in for the score. Jordan Webster passed to Derek Highstrom for the two point

conversion, Siren 8-7. The Evergreens were forced to punt and Siren drove to the Northwood 30 as the first quarter ended. On the first play of quarter two, Webster once again passed to Highstrom, this time for a 30-yard score. Webster tossed the ball to Tanner Buck and the two point conversion was complete. Again the Northwood team was forced to punt, but the Dragons couldn’t capitalize on the possession and were forced to punt the ball back to the Evergreens. Two possessions by the Evergreens and one by Siren netted in no further scoring in the first half. The Dragons kicked off to start the second half and Northwood pushed its way down to the Siren 14. Four incompleted passes gave the Dragons the ball on their own 13. After a Dragon penalty put the ball on their eight, a fumbled ball ended up in the end zone with a Northwood player on top, a touchdown for the ‘Greens. The conversion failed, Siren was still up 16-13. A Dragon drive stalled on the Northwood 48 and the Evergreens took over, SEE DRAGONS ON PAGE 20

What I did on my summer vacation

What a summer! The We are Network has begun to blossom as we’ve gone from one channel to three channels to seven in less than a year… with more on the horizon! Here’s a bit of a breakdown of how it happened… My name is Bob Rombach and I’m the creator of the We are Network. My family and I moved back to our hometown of Grantsburg on Aug. 24, 2017… basically one year ago. When we made the decision to move back to the place we called home (even though we’d been in Illinois for the past five years) I told my wife, Renae, that I would fire We are Grantsburg back up. (I had started wearegrantsburg. com in 2011, where I blogged and posted audio replays of the games I did on WXCX radio, with their permission of course). I knew people enjoyed it and since I hadn’t given up the Facebook page I created back then, I had a built-in audience of around 200 people leftover from that. A nice start. Maybe within a month or two I could crank out some good content and maybe push 300 followers. Well, 2,228 followers later, and nearly three-quarters of a million minutes of our videos watched, it’s safe to say its popularity has blown my mind. With the excitement growing in Grantsburg, I began believing that the dream of expanding to the entire conference could become a reality. And much sooner than I had anticipated. I sat down with the Burnett County Sentinel Editor, Jonathan Richie very early on to do an interview about my new business. During it, he asked me where I saw this business going. I hesitated before I spoke, because I have learned to be careful with my dreams, goals, and ambitions. Not because I was afraid of telling Jonathan himself, but because I knew it would soon become public. In fact, he was the first person, besides my wife, that I told my dream to. And, of course, it was public soon thereafter. We started “We are Siren” during the basketball season and added “We are Luck” for the spring sports. We had a lot of people start following those new ventures, too and the decision was made to move forward with the expansion over the summer. Now we have seven “We are’s” in the mix after adding Unity, SCF, Webster, and Frederic to start this fall. The biggest challenge has been finding the right people to help make this work, and I’m so glad to say we’ve had some tremendous people step up to help make this a reality. The type of person I look for need these characteristics, in this order: 1. Love their town. Their town is the best. Others are great, but theirs is number one! 2. Know their people. Community starts with families and I want people who are plugged into their communities and its families. 3. They believe in what we’re doing. 4. They’re knowledgeable in the sport they’re covering. I believe in community. I believe that each of our communities has its own heartbeat and personality. I believe that ought to be celebrated. I am beyond excited with what is happening and how well received this venture has been by everyone. We are trying very hard to put out excellent content. We are somewhat limited by things like technology, internet availability, and experience. I hope we can make up for those things with enthusiasm, excitement, and a genuine love of our communities. Thank you to everyone who has allowed us to touch your life in some way through this. I love hearing about grandmothers in Florida, or Arizona, or Michigan who can see their grandkids play or perform because of this. I love hearing from our service men and women who are able to experience a little bit of home while they are away. I love hearing from people on Main Street who were at the game but rewatched it later. I believe we’re only getting started as we close in on the anniversary of our first live stream from Sept. 22, 2017. We’ve already come a long way from that first stream and I’m excited to be on the journey with you.

Pirate boys second, girls eighth at Spooner meet BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SPOONER—Last Thursday, the Webster and Grantsburg cross country teams traveled to Spooner to participate in the Spooner Invitational meet. The Grantsburg boys came in second behind Rice Lake with 71 points (Rice Lake had 47). Webster was just one shy of fielding a complete team. Webster’s Hunter Erickson was the first county runner to cross the line at seventh place in 19:09. Grantsburg’s Will Gerber was 10 seconds later in eighth place. In 14th and 15th places respectively were Nate McKinley and Joey Duncan of the Pirates and in 17th came Andrew Lewis. Connor DeTienne was in 27th position with Mason Arnold and Sam Prusinski coming in 35th and 36th place respectively. Webster’s Kerik Stubbe and Edwin Janssen were 41st and 43rd and Jamin Wilson finished up for the Tigers. “Some of the HS boys are injured, others are not ready to race and a few did race today,” commented Tiger coach Roy Ward. “Hunter (Erickson) has a good base and is running well. He runs a smart race. He gets in a good position early and even though the pace is too fast, he is in good enough condition to recover and finish strong. Kerik (Stubbe) ran

but they, too, had their drive stymied. Siren took over on their own 46 and moments later, the third period ended. With Siren on the Northwood 8, the Dragons fumbled away the ball. The Dragon defense held and forced Northwood to punt. On the second play from scrimmage, the Dragons committed another fumble, giving the Evergreens possession on their own 43. A 34-yard TD pass from Melling to Collin Krmpotich put the ‘Greens ahead. The PAT was good. Northwood 20, Siren 16 with 8:56 left in the game. Siren lost the ball on downs during the next possession, but gained it back on an interception by Tanner Buck. If turnabout is fair play, that’s what happened next as Northwood’s Ethan Volz intercepted a Dragon pass. A Dragon penalty put the ball on the Siren 12 where two plays later, Krmpotich ran it in from the six. The PAT was good and Northwood was up 27-16. After the ensuing kickoff, the Dragons got to the Siren 42 where another miscue gave the ball back to the ‘Greens who then finished the game. “We were is the game the entire night,” lamented Coach Karsten, “but to win games like that, you can not have five turnovers. We were our biggest enemy on the night, and that was the same as the week before against Prairie Farm. To beat the best teams in the area, we have to take care of the football. If we do that, we will be tough to beat. We travel to Mercer/ Butternut on a short week this week, plus it is the first week of school and that is always an adventure. It should be a great challenge for our team this week.” Siren plays at Mercer/Butternut on Thursday in a 4:45 p.m. game.

Hopefully for the boys team as the season progresses, they’ll be firing on all cylinders.” Pirates Coach Lisa McKinley said, “Spooner is a great meet for us to prepare for the rest of the season. It allows us to continue to work on form and race strategies. We are very pleased with our athletes as they adapted to a new course layout. They took it all in stride and used it as a way to develop as strong, mental runners. We are excited to see athletes setting personal records and watching that turn into strong team performances.” On the girls side of the bracket, Webster had two girls run. Coach Ward commented, “The HS girls team doubled. We had two racers. Jeni (Petersen, 77th place) was joined by Jenna (Gomulak, 57th place) today. Jenna went out a little fast, but stayed strong after the two mile for a good finish. Jeni had some side aches and fought through and finished strong.” For the Pirates, Gracie Gerber was the first girl from Burnett County to cross the line. She did that in a time of 23:57.6 good for the 17th position. Alexis Slater was 46th, Mirlande Brande 56th, Savanna Trittelwitz 63rd and Hope McKinley 69th. Both teams will have been at the Webster Invitational on Tuesday and will be off until September 11 when both squads will travel to Rice Lake.

Tigers notch ﬁrst win of the season BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

PEPIN—The Webster Tigers got on the winning side Friday night with a 34-21 win over hosting Pepin-Alma. “The boys played well Friday night. The offensive line dominated the whole game. They played together well and got off the ball to open holes for Carter Doriott. On the offensive line, Harlo Olson really improved from week one and played like an all conference lineman. Trevor (Gustafson) had a nice game at QB and made the big plays when we needed them.” Webster got on the board first with a three yard run by Trevor Gustafson. Carter Doriott got the two point conversion and the Tigers had an 8-0 lead with 3:39 left in the first quarter. It wasn’t long before PA got their first score on a one-yard plunge by Aleck Lehnartz. The two point conversion failed. Trevor Gustafson hit fellow Tiger Brad Sigfrids with a 19-yard TD pass in the second quarter, but the conversion failed. Webster was up 14-6. Before the half ended, Xavier Stanton found Gustafson open for 45 yards and a

the third quarter. The Tigers came right back on a 58yard TD run by Gustafson. The conversion failed. On a succeeding possession, Webster lost the ball on a fumble and Pepin-Alma ran the ball back for a touchdown. The

PAT by Evan Creighton was good and PA narrowed the gap to 26-21. The only score of the final quarter was a 32-yard TD pass from Gustafson to Stanton. Gustafson ran the ball across for the conversion and Webster was up 34-21 which ended up the final score. Gustafson, at quarterback, was seven for 10 for 115 yards and a touchdown. Xavior Stanton was one for one, good for 45 yards and a score. The Tigers had two rushers with triple figures. Carter Doriott was 22 for 142 and Gustafson had 11 rushes for 127 yards. On the defensive side, Jacob Guenard had six solo tackles and two assists to lead the Tiger tacklers. Xavior Stanton had five tackles and one assist. Colton Peterson (4-5), Wyatt Schaaf (4-4) and Anton Frantzich (4-2) were next in line for the defense. “We had a couple of turnovers that need to be cleaned up and we need to tackle better as a defense. We will get back after this week and keep improving.” Webster hosts the Flambeau Falcons this Friday at 7 p.m.

Pirates cruise past Wolves BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

PLUM CITY—The Grantsburg Pirates racked up 42 first half points in a lopsided win over the Elmwood-Plum City Wolves on Friday night to bump their record to 3-0 on the young season. Everyone on the roster got in the game with a majority of the starters on the sidelines for the second half as the Pirates sailed to a 49-22 victory. Grantsburg lit up the scoreboard early when Leo Chenal took it 53 yards to paydirt on the second play of the game. The point after by Jared VanWatermuelen was good to give the Pirates an early 7-0 lead. “The team did a nice job jumping on EPC early,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “The offensive line of Ike Lee, Austin Louis, Justin Patterson, Tanner Berger and Phil Hein did a good job of making some holes for Leo (Chenal) to get big runs and providing Luke (Anderson) with time to throw.” On the very first play of Grantsburg’s next offensive possession, quarterback

Luke Anderson hit Bryce Roufs in stride for a 57-yard touchdown. The PAT was good to go up 14-0 with 8:22 left in the first quarter. The Pirate defense was on point as well, and David MacKean picked a Wolves pass out of the air to put his squad back on offense. They took advantage of the turnover, and Leo Chenal scored again from 15 yards out. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good to go up 21-0. They struck again just 15 seconds into the second quarter when Leo Chenal waltzed in to the end zone from five yards out for the score. VanWatermeulen continued his streak with a perfect PAT to make it a 28-0 contest. Grantsburg’s stout defense forced a Wolves fumble which was covered up by David Nelson to give the ball back to the Pirates. On the very next play, Anderson found a wide open Roufs in the middle of the field and again hit him in stride with the perfect pass for a 36-yard touchdown. The PAT was good to bring the score to 35-0 with 9:53 left in the half. The Pirates’ final score of the half was one for the highlight reel, when Ander-

son threw a perfect pass to MacKean on the sideline, who then spun out of a tackle tip-toeing the sideline and breaking free to make his way to the end zone for the 69-yard score. The PAT was good to go up 42-0. “Luke executed nicely on some big passes to Bryce Roufs and David MacKean in the first half to put the game out of reach,” Hale said of his senior quarterback. EPC got on the board just before the half on a 13-yard run by Nic Foster. The two-point conversion failed, making it a 42-6 game at the break. They would score twice in the second half, along with successful two-point conversions for each to bring their score on the night to 22. The Pirates found paydirt once in the half when quarterback Sterling McKinley ran it in from one yard out. VanWatermuelen’s PAT was good, giving him a perfect seven of seven on the night. Leo Chenal led the offense with 103 rushing yards on six carries and three touchdowns. Nelson was next with 35

yards on 10 carries followed by Isaac Quimby with 22 yards on four carries and Levi Miller with 24 yards on two carries. Roufs had one carry for 15 yards, Simon Bunting had one carry for eight yards, and Matt Kottke had five yards on one carry, as did Tanner Berger. Anderson completed seven of 11 passes for 196 yards and three touchdowns. McKinley was two for three and 25 yards. Roufs led the receivers with four catches for 111 yards and two TD’s. MacKean had one catch for 69 yards and a touchdown. Reed Arnold led the defense with three solo tackles along with four assists. Tyrell Brande had four solos, and Roufs tallied three solos and two assists. “It was great that everyone on the roster got quality minutes and reps for the second half,” the coach added. “We’re looking forward to playing back home next week against Turtle Lake.” The Pirates will host Turtle Lake on Friday night.

ST. CROIX FALLS—The Siren Dragon volleyball team visited St. Croix Falls last Tuesday for a triangular and came out on the short end in both games. Versus the Ladysmith Lumberjills, the Dragons lost 11-25 and 18-25. Karlee Sybers led the Dragons with four kills. Hannah Lemieux and Jade Horstman each had two. Rylee O’Brien tallied six aces and had 14 assists. The Dragons went against the Saints after a short intermission and fell 4-25, 13-25, and 19-25. Siren fell behind 0-5 and couldn’t recover from the difference in score. They scored once and then the Saints went on a 16-0 run. In game two, Siren had the lead in the early going, 1-0, 3-2, and 7-4, but the Saints came back to go ahead 8-7 and kept on going. The score was 6-6 in the third game when St. Croix powered past the Dragons up to a 19-11 edge before Siren fought back and narrowed the score to 17-21. The Saints went on to take game three. Jade Horstman had nine kills for the Dragons out of the team’s 22. Cassie Maslow and Rylee O’Brien each had a block. O’Brien recorded 49 assists. Maslow also had two of the four aces for Siren. “We started out real slow,” said Coach Kristin

WEBSTER—On Thursday, the Webster Tigers started out strong against the Luck Cardinals, winning the first game, but then Luck came back to win the next three games and the match by a 3-1 score. Game scores were 25-17, 18-25, 20-25 and 21-25. After a tie at 4, the Tigers went up 9-4 before the Cardinals got their next point. A 6-2 run for the Tigers upped the advantage to 15-6. The Tigers maintained the lead, not allowing the Cardinals to get any closer than five for the remainder of the first game. In set two, Webster started out 4-0, but the Cardinals ran off 11 straight to take a seven point lead.

TIGERS: Pirates’ experience too much for Webster CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19

Ohnstad had a big night at the net with three big blocks. Tooze had one block as well. For the Tigers, Summer Winkler and Kaitlyn Lee led the offense with three kills each followed by Brooke Hetfeld with two kills. Hannah Janssen had five assists on the night with Lee adding two. Torrance Wols had one assist. On defense, Winkler had 10 digs to lead the way. Lee had nine digs, Emma Zmuda had seven, Janssen had five, with Wols and Serena Peck adding three digs each.

“One of our main goals this season is to serve more consistently, and we served 100 percent,” Coach Janssen noted. On that note, Janssen, Peck and Jona Matrious each had one service ace. The Tigers will host St. Croix Falls on Thursday. Game time is 7:15 p.m. “It was only the second time being in the GHS gym since the 2017 season due to the construction project, but it was one of the best “home openers” we have had in recent years, and we hope to keep it rolling,” Allaman-Johnson added. The Pirates will host Siren on Thursday at 7:15 p.m.

The Tigers got as close as 17-21, but Luck got four straight points to finalize game two. Set three was a see-saw affair with both teams taking the lead at different times. The last tie was at 15 before Luck went up 18-15. The Tigers got back to a deficit of only one at 18-19, but Luck got the win. Webster had as much as a 12-4 advantage in game four and seemed to be on the way to a win, but, once again, Luck got into a scoring streak, getting 10 in a row to go up 14-12. Ties were then recorded at each number 15 through 19 and then again at 22 and 23. “We had too many errors tonight, too many communication errors. We’ll keep on working hard to eliminate those errors,” said Tiger coach Stefanie Janssen.

USDA announces assistance for farmers impacted by unjustiﬁed retaliation WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced details of actions the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will take to assist farmers in response to trade damage from unjustified retaliation by foreign nations. President Donald J. Trump directed Secretary Perdue to craft a shortterm relief strategy to protect agricultural producers while the Administration works on free, fair, and reciprocal trade deals to open more markets in the long run to help American farmers compete globally. As announced last month, USDA will authorize up to $12 billion in programs, consistent with our World Trade Organization obligations. “Early on, the President instructed me, as Secretary of Agriculture, to make sure our farmers did not bear the brunt of unfair retaliatory tariffs. After careful analysis by our team at USDA, we have formulated our strategy to mitigate the trade damages sustained by our farmers. Our farmers work hard, and are the most productive in the world, and we aim to protect them,” said Secretary Perdue. These programs will assist agricultural producers to meet the costs of disrupted markets: • USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA)

will administer the Market Facilitation Program (MFP) to provide payments to corn, cotton, dairy, hog, sorghum, soybean, and wheat producers starting Sept. 4, 2018. An announcement about further payments will be made in the coming months, if warranted. • USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) will administer a Food Purchase and Distribution Program to purchase up to $1.2 billion in commodities unfairly targeted by unjustified retaliation. USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will distribute these commodities through nutrition assistance programs such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and child nutrition programs. • Through the Foreign Agricultural Service’s (FAS) Agricultural Trade Promotion Program (ATP), $200 million will be made available to develop foreign markets for U.S. agricultural products. The program will help U.S. agricultural exporters identify and access new markets and help mitigate the adverse effects of other countries’ restrictions. “President Trump has been standing up to China and other nations, sending the clear message that the United States will no longer tolerate their unfair trade practices, which include non-tariff trade

barriers and the theft of intellectual property. In short, the President has taken action to benefit all sectors of the American economy – including agriculture – in the long run,” said Secretary Perdue. “It’s important to note all of this could go away tomorrow, if China and the other nations simply correct their behavior. But in the meantime, the programs we are announcing today buys time for the President to strike long-lasting trade deals to benefit our entire economy.” Background on Market Facilitation Program MFP is established under the statutory authority of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and administered by FSA. For each commodity covered, the payment rate will be dependent upon the severity of the trade disruption and the period of adjustment to new trade patterns, based on each producer’s actual production. Interested producers can apply after harvest is 100 percent complete and they can report their total 2018 production. Beginning Sept. 4, 2018, MFP applications will be available online at www. farmers.gov/mfp. Producers will also be able to submit their MFP applications in person, by email, fax, or by mail.

Eligible applicants must have an ownership interest in the commodity, be actively engaged in farming, and have an average adjusted gross income (AGI) for tax years 2014, 2015, and 2016 of less than $900,000. Applicants must also comply with the provisions of the “Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation” regulations. On September 4, 2018, the first MFP payment periods will begin. The second payment period, if warranted, will be determined by the USDA. Market Facilitation Program The initial MFP payment will be calculated by multiplying 50 percent of the producer’s total 2018 actual production by the applicable MFP rate. If CCC announces a second MFP payment period, the remaining 50 percent of the producer’s total 2018 actual production will be subject to the second MFP payment rate. MFP payments are capped per person or legal entity at a combined $125,000 for dairy production or hogs. Payment for dairy production is based off the historical production reported for the Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPPDairy). For existing dairy operations, the production history is established using the highest annual milk production SEE USDA, PAGE 27

USDA: Secretary of Agriculture responds to ‘unfair retaliatory tariffs’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26

tion marketed during the full calendar years of 2011, 2012, and 2013. Dairy operations are also required to have been in operation on June 1, 2018 to be eligible for payments. Payment for hog operations will be based off the total number of head of live hogs owned on Aug. 1, 2018. The commodities included in the reimbursement are cotton, corn, dairy(milk), pork (hogs), soybeans, sorghum, and wheat. MFP payments are also capped per person or legal entity at a combined $125,000 for corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans and wheat. For more information on the MFP, visit www.farmers.gov/mfp or contact your local FSA office, which can be found at www.farmers.gov. Background on Food Purchase and Distribution Program The amounts of commodities to be purchased are based on an economic analysis of the damage caused by unjustified tariffs imposed on the crops listed below. Their damages will be adjusted based on several factors and spread over several months in response to orders placed by states participating in the FNS nutrition assistance programs. Food Purchases Program details yet to be determined

Products purchased will be distributed by FNS to participating states, for use in TEFAP and other USDA nutrition assistance programs. Purchasing: AMS will buy affected products in four phases. The materials purchased can be adjusted between phases to accommodate changes due to: growing conditions; product availability; market conditions; trade negotiation status; and program capacity. AMS will purchase known commodities first. By purchasing in phases, procurements for commodities that have been sourced in the past can be purchased more quickly and included in the first phase. Vendor Outreach: To expand the AMS vendor pool and the ability to purchase new and existing products, AMS will ramp up its vendor outreach and registration efforts. AMS has also developed flyers on how the process works and how to become a vendor for distribution to industry groups and interested parties. Additionally, AMS will continue to host a series of free webinars describing the steps required to become a vendor. Stakeholders will have the opportunity to submit questions to be answered during the webinar. Recorded webinars are available to review by potential vendors, and staff will host periodic Question and Answer teleconferences to

better explain the process. Product Specifications: AMS maintains purchase specifications for a variety of commodities, which ensure recipients receive the high-quality product they expect. AMS in collaboration with FNS regularly develops and revises specifications for new and enhanced products based on program requirements and requests and will be prioritizing the development of those products impacted by unjustified retaliation. AMS will also work with industry groups to identify varieties and grades sold to China and other offshore markets such as premium apples, oranges, pears and other products. AMS will develop or revise specifications to facilitate the purchase of these premium varieties in forms that meet the needs of FNS nutrition assistance programs. Outlets: AMS purchases commodities for use in FNS programs such as the National School Lunch Program, TEFAP and other nutrition assistance programs. AMS is working closely with FNS to distribute products to State Agencies that participate in USDA nutrition assistance programs as well as exploring other outlets for distribution of products, as needed. To the extent possible, FNS will identify items for distribution that are appropriate for each potential outlet.

The products discussed in this plan will be distributed to States for use in the network of food banks and food pantries that participate in TEFAP, elderly feeding programs such the Commodity Supplemental Foods Program, and tribes that operate the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. Distribution: AMS has coordinated with the Office of the Chief Economist, FNS, Industry, and other agency partners to determine necessary logistics for the purchase and distribution of each commodity including trucking, inspection and audit requirements, and agency staffing. Background on Agricultural Trade Promotion Program: The FAS will administer the ATP under authorities of the CCC. The ATP will provide cost-share assistance to eligible U.S. organizations for activities such as consumer advertising, public relations, point-of-sale demonstrations, participation in trade fairs and exhibits, market research, and technical assistance.

How is faith like mini-golf?

Eddie Crise Danbury, Webster, Siren, Lewis United Methodist Churches

As kids start their first few weeks of school and we are greeted by chilly mornings and evenings, many of us want to hold onto the last remnants of summer. For me, one of the great symbols of summer that I absolutely need to experience one last time before the Wisconsin winter hits is mini-golf. In a sense, our faith is like mini-golf. The game is famous for the varied obstacles ranging from the simple sand trap to the constantly rotating windmill. Our life is full of obstacles, too. Without a grounded

faith, those obstacles can seem more intimidating than the hardest mini-golf hole. Some will say that you need to bear down, focus intently, and carefully study the course; whether that is the next move you make when you face one of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major roadblocks, or whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a challenging hole. However, I see faith as Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing gift to help us adapt to lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges. Faith is our steady rock and yet it also gives us the creativity, flexibility, and inspiration to be guided by God into new solutions that the

Holy Spirit sees. We often look at faith as a guiding force, the anchor that keeps us grounded in God, but I think that our faith is more agile than we sometimes might think. God is present in all circumstances, able to help us adapt to any obstacle in our way. So, as you line up that challenging putt around the water trap, know that your faith creatively helps you to adapt to real-life obstacles.

The side beneﬁts of science in the Arctic Circle “According to the Denali bus driver’s manual, hitting a snowshoe hare will only ‘produce a momentary loss of traction,’” quoted our bus driver, Drew, over his microphone. We’d been watching bunnies dart across Park Road on the way into Camp Denali. “During highs in the population cycle,” Drew continued, “they’re so abundant on the roads that it’s hard to miss them all.” Scientists as well as drivers across Alaska are quite aware that hares numbers are on the rise. In Denali National Park, the last peak in their 9-to-11 year cycle occurred in 2009. Since 2012, wildlife biologists with the National

High school students from Anchorage hike through spongy tundra to get to our second hare pellet count grid. Despite cooler temperatures, sunshine, low bugs, and great scenery made doing the science even more exciting.

Park Service have been keeping track of hare numbers through a particularly kid-friendly method. “We can’t just walk out there and say ‘hey animals, come out, I want to count you,” explained Denali National Park’s wolf technician, Kaija Klauder, to a group of high school students from Anchorage who were attending a summer science camp. “Luckily,” she continued, “all animals poop, and that’s awesome for science.” Pellet surveys can be tedious, so I was impressed by how enthusiastically the kids began their work. Park scientists have established 8 different grids of 100 plots apiece. Within each plot, a pair of counters was tasked with finding every small, brown, Skittles-shaped hare pellet, marking it on the data sheet, and then tossing it away from the plot so that it won’t be counted twice. The one-foot-radius plots I helped count had at least 15 pellets each, and some kids found over 100 pellets in a single plot. That seems like a lot, and it is more than they’ve found during the past four years. Back in 2012, though, three years after the previous high in the hare population, pellet counts were 50 percent higher than this year. It’s impossible to tell when the population peaks until it starts going down, but it seems like they have room to grow. Looking for the pellets gave us all a closer look at the moss, moose poop, fungal mycelia, mushrooms, and beetles inhabiting both a spruce forest and a willow thicket. We found a moose bed in the moss, too, and admired flowers in the spongy tundra. Who knows what other subconscious observations the students made with their noses to the

ground? Science has a way of sneaking up on you. Studying one organism leads to questions about others, and just crashing around in the woods for a few hours inputs data into our personal sensory computers. About a month later, in mid-August, I joined Claire Montgomerie and Matt Kynoch, two graduate students from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, to help with their snowshoe hare fieldwork. They are partnering with the National Park Service near the tiny town of Wiseman in the southern foothills of the Brooks Range. Just as in Denali, we saw plenty of hares along the Dalton Highway as we drove north from Fairbanks. I was mesmerized by the rolling expanses of boreal forest and the undulating silver stripe of pipeline that mostly paralleled

the road. For me, this wasn’t just an exciting opportunity to help with research; it was an excuse to explore new landscapes in The North. At the sign marking the Arctic Circle—66.33 degrees north latitude, I took a selfie with a huge grin. I love going North. I was still smiling the next morning as we wound through soft green hills and along the silvery braids of the Koyukuk River to access two different research sites established by the biologists from Gates of the Arctic National Park. Along one rutted gravel road we set 14 live traps baited with alfalfa cubes and carrots. Firmly compacted moss in the hares’ runs and dense clusters of brown pellets indicated good spots to place the traps. Claire pointed out exposed dirt on the road cuts where hares have been recorded coming to lick the soil. Our goal there was to recapture hares who had been previously deployed with GPS collars to track their use of the mineral licks. Next we parked at a pipeline access road and walked in to a trap grid used for mark-recapture surveys. There we spent a couple hours finding, baiting, and setting over 30 traps at established locations. We also picked handfuls of tart, red highbush cranberries, savored the sweet treats of dwarf raspberries, and admired the luminous white flowers of bog-star. After dinner, we ambled through thick beds of moss and lichen behind our bunkhouse and picked blueberries until dark. I’d been seeing and hearing about the population dynamics of snowshoe hares since I arrived in the Alaskan interior. I was thrilled to find an opportunity to learn more, and to experience research firsthand. Now that I was actually up in the Brooks Range, the side benefits of fieldwork were becoming clear. What would the rest of the week bring? I fell asleep dreaming of blueberries and bunnies. Emily is in Alaska for the summer!

Rebuilding native culture and history at the Forts LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

Earlier this summer, Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park was awarded a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council to help with construction of a new winter wigwam in the Ojibwe Indian Village. As part of this project, a partnership was established with the St. Croix Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa. Forts employees, Jeff Jensen, Director; Jackson Buxton, Interpreter; and Kevin Hoyt, Media Agent, sought the expertise of Tribal supervisors Mark Soulier, of the Traditions Respecting American Indian Lifestyles (TRAILS) Program, and Tristen Oustigoff, of the Youth Enrichment Scholarship (YES) Program, on construction and crew selection. Soulier and Outstigoff procured the services of five young men to work on the project: Jackson Dahlberg, 15, Grantsburg; Jacob Dahlberg, 14; Grantsburg; Jordan Rogers, 14, Shell Lake; Aiden Vix, 14, Shell Lake; and

Isaiah Johnson, 15, Shell Lake. A couple had previous wigwam-construction experience, and a couple were first-timers. “It’s great getting the kids involved, and I look forward to developing a strong relationship with Mark Soulier and tribal youth,” said Jensen. He would like to see a strong partnership grow. “This is all of our histories.” The crew began the project with a harvest of ironwood – used for the framework structure- from a Forts volunteer’s property at the end of July. As part of the harvest, a tobacco ceremony took place to give thanks and gratitude to the Mother Earth and Great Spirit. Framework construction for the wigwam began Aug. 1 at the Ojibwe Indian Village at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. Soulier instructed the crew on how to mark off the outline of the wigwam and determine where the support poles would be anchored. Then it was time to dig. “The ground is better here than when we did Turtle Lake,” Jacob Dahlberg remarked, as he and his fellow workers

dug holes for the support poles to sit. Earlier in the summer, Dahlberg had participated in a similar build. The crew also agreed that post-hole diggers made their jobs a bit easier than the use of historical tools. Support poles were then lashed together, curving the wood in an arc from its anchoring spot to the base of its mate. When all the side supports were set in place, two longer supports were placed the length of the structure to create doorways, to hold the support ribs in place, and to provide a roofing structure. More ribbing was then tied into place along the sides. Then it was time for the birch bark. Or would have been, if the torrential rain had held off. Construction was tabled for a week to allow for better weather and dry materials. But by then, there was another issue with the materials. The birch bark siding had begun to curl on the edges despite being stored in a tight crate. Before the crew could punch lacing holes into the bark for hanging, they had to carefully straighten the pieces and let them press flat under pieces of wood.

Several available kittens played with the public at the HSBC brat feed. Kittens of all ages, sizes, and colors are currently available for adoption.

“You have to join them against the grain,” Buxton shared. “Otherwise, the bark just splits along the grain.” The crew was able to get one row of the birch bark attached. Then it was another day off site to gather cattails. Cattail reeds do double-duty in a winter wigwam. Not only are the reeds woven into floor mats, they are used to insulate the lower walls. Long, connected bundles are secured to the framing structure. Further construction on the wigwam has been postponed until spring. The youth workers are going back to school, which puts a cramp in their available time commitment. But the project has seen another typical issue in construction– availability of materials. “We need to harvest ash bark, but with the weather, right now the bark won’t come off the trees,” Kevin Hoyt said. He did assure, however, that “we’ll be back at it come spring.” To follow the progress of the winter wigwam project, visit theforts.org, Facebook.com/theFortsFAHP, or contact the Forts at 715-866-8890 or fahp@ centurytel.net.
