Arrests made after shot ﬁred in Rock Creek

‘Music is everything to me’ SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM

A report of a shot fired in Rock Creek led to the arrest of the alleged shooter, and further investigation led to a highspeed chase and arrest of the person shot at in the incident. According to the criminal complaint filed in Pine County Court, Pine County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded at 3:57 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 30, to a report that a man had shot at another man in a Jeep at the Rock Creek Pit Stop gas station on Highway 70. A witness told deputies he was getting gas at the station when a Jeep pulled up to the pumps opposite of him. A red Dodge Ram pickup then pulled up to the gas pumps opposite the Jeep. The witness said that a man, later identified as Thor Ronald Robinson, 43, of Pine City, exited the driver side door of the Dodge and approached the Jeep’s driver with a gun in his hand. Robinson allegedly opened the Jeep’s door and pointed a black revolver at the driver, shouting at him to get on the ground. The Jeep driver appeared to try to shut his door before quickly driving away from the gas station. The witness said that Robinson fired one gunshot at the rear of the Jeep as it was driving away. The witness also said that Robinson said, “Sorry, cop,” to him before getting back into the Dodge truck and speeding out of the gas station parking lot. The witness said he also saw another male, later identified as Todd Johnston, leave the passenger side SEE ROCK CREEK, PAGE 26

Amber Pedersen turned heads during her Northland Idol performance in Duluth in late August. Pederson comes from a long line of musicians and singers. She is currently a sophomore at St. Cloud State University and studies music education.

GRANTSBURG—Driving through sleepy Burnett County towns, some may think nothing remarkable happens— or, that any remarkable people exist here. People see small, rural communities with modest sized schools, mom and pop restaurants and a spot to hold a fair. The highway leads out of the county and on to somewhere else. Many of us know better. Power athletes, comedians, brave service members and more grow up here. And now, those in this community have a young, rhythmic voice to grace their ears. In the dwindling days of August, Amber Pedersen, 19, Grantsburg, drove from her college dorm at St. Cloud up to Duluth to compete in Northland Idol. Pedersen is a person with a dream of spreading her belief that music can make the lives of everyone better. Her family seems to share this idea as many of them

sing, play instruments and perform their own music. Sometimes they even do it together in a family band, as they have done for many years. Weeks before her trip to Duluth, friends and family members were posting an advertisement on Pedersen’s Facebook with a link to register for Northland Idol. The winner is granted a one-onone audition with the American Idol executive producers. The first 200 people to register were given 90 seconds to sing in front of local judges at The Deck in Duluth on Aug. 26. Pedersen stood in line for hours until the final grouping was called, she was contestant 139. “I wasn’t nervous at all, until my number was called,” she said. Pedersen sang 90 seconds worth of Someone Like You by Adele while also playing the piano. “I don’t remember it really. But I guess I did well because there were a lot of people SEE MUSIC, PAGE 7

Arson suspected BY SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG —Fire sirens filled the air in the afternoon of Thursday, Aug. 31 in the rural-most parts of Grantsburg. Just after 1 p.m. the Grantsburg Fire Department responded to a call detailing a structure fully engulfed at 22784 West River Road. Grantsburg Fire Chief Corey Barnette described the scene as a total loss and both

the Fire Department and the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department suspect arson. According to several locals, the building served as a Fish Lake school building several years ago. Barnette stated the structure was uninhabited at the time of the fire. “That’s all we know as of right now. It is under investigation,” said Barnette.

National Preparedness Month

Get to know your neighbors and surroundings

Editor’s note: September is National Preparedness Month. Burnett County Emergency Management, the Burnett County Sentinel and Fourwinds Market have partnered in a month-long campaign of articles, displays and giveaways with a goal of increasing your awareness of emergency preparedness and to offer tips and suggestions on how to prepare your family in case of an emergency. The focus last week was on making a plan for caring for you and your family during an emergency. This week, suggestions are offered on what can be done to assist your neighbors and community during an emergency.

Centuria residents approve electric assets sale to NWE

How did the family discussions go? Do you have a plan outlined for your family unit? Are you ready to consider how you could also help your neighbors and community? Emergency response agencies (law enforcement, fire, EMS and first responders) in our community will be ready and respond, just like they do every day of the week. If the incident is large or widespread, you too may be able to assist your own family or your neighbors with basic first aid skills until help arrives. Now is a good time to get to know your neighbors. With the familiarity you can establish in a time of calm, you can be more helpful during a time of emergency. Getting to know your neighbors who are older or have young families or have family members who work on the road, you may be able to assist in times of need. It may be something as simple as contacting the authorities for someone that can’t do it on their own. Being aware of what is going on around your neighborhood, you can help your local community and utilities by reporting damage to roads and bridges, trees blocking the roadways, and downed power and phone lines. The repair crews will be working swiftly to restore service and make the roads passable, but knowing the extent of the problem is a big help. (Safety Tip: Be mindful of the dangers of downed utilities. Keep your family safe without becoming injured by staying away from downed lines!)

CENTURIA—Village of Centuria residents voted Tuesday, Aug. 29, to approve the sale of Centuria’s municipal electric system to Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company (NWE) of Grantsburg. The referendum asked residents whether the Centuria electric system assets and the right to serve Centuria Village residents with electricity should be sold to NWE. The vote was 64 residents in favor and five opposed. Centuria Village Clerk Karen Edgell said, “This process has taken three years. We appreciate the work done by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC), NWE and the Village of Centuria.” During the fall of 2014, the Centuria Municipal Electric Commission (CME) approached Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company about the possibility of NWE acquiring the assets of CME and the right to serve the municipal residents with electricity. The two utilities worked together through the process as outlined by Wisconsin state law.

Expand the family plan This week, go back to your family plan and expand it to include: Who are your neighbors, how might they be vulnerable in an emergency, what is their contact information and street address? What utilities serve your neighborhood and what information are on the power and telephone poles? Are you ready to perform first aid if needed by your family and your neighbors? What can you do to help the community in times of need? The focus next week is feeding your family during an emergency. Our partner, FourWinds Market in Siren, will host a Personal Preparedness event September 15-21 to encourage families to put away food and water to feed themselves for 5-7 days. There will be menu ideas, brochures, displays, and giveaways. Mark your calendar.

POLK COUNTY—A man convicted of sexual assault of a child in Burnett County in 2003 was charged this week with victimizing another child, this time in Polk County. Mark E. Johnson, 68, of Balsam Lake is a registered sex offender who, following a 2003 conviction i Burnett County, was ordered to have in n unsupervised contact with juvenile no f females. In that case Johnson pled guilty t charges resulting from videotaping to h himself sexually assaulting a minor, and t then making her watch those and other v videos of himself. Mark E E. Johnson served one year in jail and ten Johnson years of probation in the case, and could have served up to 15 years in prison had he violated his probation. The latest criminal complaint filed Aug. 25 in Polk County describes an incident that is believed to have happened on July 4 of this year. A 12-year-old girl

“Now that the Centuria residents have approved the referendum we will work with NWE to complete the sale” stated Edgell. “NWE will be notifying Centuria village residents regarding the details of transferring their electric service to NWE’s system. NWE President David Dahlberg stated, “We will work with residents to make this transition as smooth as possible. Village residents will be seeing upgrades to the electric system in town and will have access to NWE’s billing and customer service programs.” Dahlberg added NWE plans to spend about $250,000 to upgrade the Centuria power system, including adding a second power source into the village to improve reliabilty, replace poles that failed inspection, and replace meters. CME electric rates will transition over a five-year period to match NWE’s. NWE encourages Centuria residents with questions to call NWE at 800-261-1200. Steve Briggs, Sentinel.

Convicted sex offender accused of reoffending in Polk County BY JESSICA DE LA CRUZ EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM

reported that she was alone with Johnson at a relative’s home when he took her to the garage to check her for ticks. The victim told authorities that Johnson touched her genital area and exposed himself to her. At the time of the investigation and subsequent charges, Johnson’s whereabouts were unknown. But according to the criminal complaint, Johnson returned a phone call to the victim’s mother and left a voicemail that included statements of “it only took three seconds,” and “there was nothing more to it,” explaining he didn’t want the victim to be dragged through court for “his stupid actions” and that he hoped he didn’t traumatize her in any way. An arrest warrant and attempt-to-locate notification were issued on Aug. 25. He was taken into custody on Aug. 28. Johnson is being held at the Polk County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond. He is charged with 1st degree sexual assault of a child and child enticement/exposing himself. During a preliminary hearing held Aug. 31, Johnson was bound over for further proceedings yet to be scheduled.

Tell a story, make a friend

Continuing from last week’s column about Narrative 4, I’d like to explain how the story exchange has the ability to mold friendships in the most efficient, truthful manner. To say the story exchange is an ice-breaker would be a titanic understatement. While I don’t believe it’s proper to divulge too much, I’ll keep this part brief. The first story I was told and then had to retell was about a mother. The teller was an early 20s college student with a love for family and baseball. The story is one this individual holds close to himself as it shows the adventurous and spontaneous side of his mother. His mother passed a few years later. I had not met this man before Sentinel this, and, in fact, I still haven’t met him in person as we exchanged Editor stories over Google-hangouts. The Sean Devlin man I was supposed to become in the next moments was in New York, and I was in Ireland. He told his and I told mine. We gathered back into the group, and when it was my turn to be this other person, I felt a chill. My voice shook, and my fingers wrapped around each other in near-bone bending directions as I told others about a memory of my mother. When finished, the room fell silent for a few moments. I caught eyes with the man on the computer screen. In that moment, I recalled passing conversations with strangers at bars, coffee shops and on campus. Conversations that consisted of Hi, I’m Sean. Oh, yeah, school is going fine. How are you finding your classes? Yeah, I think there’s a band at Stables tonight, hope to run into you! No heart to those chats. I could have tried more, attempted to make stronger, deeper connections with people I was talking with for the first time. But, sometimes we all have cloudy barriers, windows we dare not clean for the fear of coming off uninteresting or – the ever-famous term – awkward. I wish I could go back to every conversation with a new person and treat it the way I was able to with the man in New York. He opened up to me, uninhibited and shared with me an almost silly story but one that is a piece of the memory puzzle, that without, he would not feel as close to his mother. After hearing a pivotal story from a stranger, you can feel slightly unhinged, even broken open. Watching someone battle through a story they keep to themselves is a stark reminder that despite location, gender, religious or political beliefs, we all can connect on a variety of levels. Vulnerability is not always going to leave people struck down and bloodied. In the case of the story exchange, vulnerability is a soil in which we can plant seeds of trust and friendship. Empathy can stifle storms. Same as always, 715-463-2341. Editor@burnettcountysentinel.com

Time for triage In the heat of an emergency or a battle, doctors and nurses often perform triage, a procedure where each patient is evaluated and prioritized to ensure the best odds of having the most survivors. It’s an effective, but sometimes brutal, method of making sure the most people get care with the limited resources that are available. But there are times when we need to trust in professionals who have trained for such emergencies. They don’t have the time to explain their decisions, they need to keep moving so the most people can be helped. There’s been a lot of talk in the past six months about our healthcare From the Publisher’s system. I’m not here to make more noise, just a few personal observaDesk tions. I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on television, so take my words at Tom Stangl face value. IIn our healthcare h lh system, how care is delivered and paid for has been in need of triage for many years. Costs continue to rise at a rate that is unsustainable for the consumer. As a method of dealing with increasing costs, insurers became more involved in nearly every aspect of care. Each and every time you see a doctor or other health professional, their treatments must align with a payment code that the insurance companies have established. If the treatment code is wrong, it can result in the provider not being paid the proper amount, or not at all. And if the provider doesn’t get paid, the patient gets the bill – the WHOLE bill. So, a very efficient, very actuarial infrastructure has been established. Medicine by spreadsheet, in my opinion. Physicians are micromanaged to the point where they sometimes cannot prescribe a medication or treatment because the insurance company believes

another method is better (or at least cheaper). Sometimes, this method works very well. But other times, even though the actuaries have tried to plan for every eventuality, there are times when the medical professionals know better than the accountants and a clash of wills occurs with the consumer paying more. Employers who try to do the right thing and offer health insurance struggle with being able to afford the premiums. Their employees then try to find a way to pay the premiums as well as the ever-escalating deductibles. Before the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it was thought that uninsured people were taxing the system, forcing hospitals and providers to write off large amounts of money. Cost shifting seemed to be raising costs, which were passed along to insurers, employers and consumers. After passage of the ACA, the rate of uninsured people dropped. Costs continued to climb, at a slower rate perhaps, but the upward trend continued. The presidential election of 2016 featured much debate about the future of the ACA and replacement alternatives ranging from Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for all (a government-based, single-payer system) to President Trump’s call to repeal the ACA and replace it with something else. The failure of the congress to agree on anything regarding the ACA has given the actuaries severe heartburn, and it’s estimated that health insurance rates could rise by 20 percent. Isn’t it time to do some triage here so the patient – the consumer – will be able to pull through? As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

The Real Horror

It was a foggy, dark night... Actually, it was a morning last week, foggy and cool. Upon waking, viewing the low clouds casting grey everywhere, the compulsion to write something mysterious came over me. “It was a dark and foggy night...” Many a story begins that way, whether in word or visually on film. Old movies of rolling fog, white faces, raccoon-eyed villains and ragged-clothed souls filled my head. Dark figures moving among shadows, creaking doors, howling dogs and glimpses of a sliver moon Newbie in between clouds set the stage. Creatures with grotesque features, the Northlimp or impossibly bent appendages woods both fascinated and repelled us. Michael Jackson took it to the Lori Callahan amazing and amusing extreme in his video “Thriller.” The music was fantastic, too. “It was a foggy morning” doesn’t have the same effect. The horror flick genre doesn’t seem to exist as it once did, recalling gatherings with siblings or preand teen friends in front of the television; tense, expectant and waiting for the fright to unfold before us. Any opportunity to startle the watcher sitting next to you was fully taken advantage of. My father started that practice in our family years before. Our eyes glued to the screen, he’d cause us to jump out of our seats, creating a child’s worst nightmare for a moment. The decade-long (or longer?) “reality TV” boom has taken over with little writing from skilled craftsmen, as selected contestants are allowed to bare their full personalities on camera. That’s the new horror. The modern setting is bright beaches, extravagant resorts, free bars and other less-than-blood-curdling stagings. I suspect there are more psychologists and behaviorists on staff than writers these days, determining a mix of participants that will prove fiery and dramatic, and for mop-up. The hair, makeup and wardrobe departments, too, must surely outnumber the writers. Oh, these shows have produced claims of real mystery and danger, further fabricated by the entertainment media. Attempts are made to have one “sitting on the edge of their seat” until next week, but it’s only proven to be the type of “drama” that results in most of us saying, “Get a life,” and we are happy to not have this “drama-queen business” in our own. In the new horror, they’ve produced the “repulsion” part, but the fascination is sorely lacking. Are they stories? Yes. There’s little craft in their telling, however, and they are not all that interesting. They lack imagination. Writers know that most of what we pen will never be seen by another eye. We’ll keep writing, though. Everything is cyclical and this current genre of the reality TV series will disappear. The use of real craft will return and we will wait for the next Vincent Price or Boris Karloff to act out our words. If a picture paints a thousand words, then what does a single sentence speak? Sometimes little; sometimes an entire physical reaction – sight, sound, smell, taste, touch. A full mood is created as we are brought to the place and time the writer has created and we take that journey with them. Okay – it was a cold, starless night. Fog crept across black pavement like grey snakes searching for their prey...

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Keep wolves on ‘Threatened’ list To the Editor: Recently, a group calling themselves the Hughlett Girls was shown in an online Sentinel news article photo wearing tee shirts showing a wolf with the words “kill them all.” In some places, it would and should be illegal to openly advocate for the killing of an animal listed as endangered or threatened. Evidently, not here. But, this is not surprising. A massive 2014 DNR study identified Burnett County as one of six Wisconsin counties where wolves are hated the most. Unfortunately, as is often the case with such extreme hatred, there is very little truth to the fear-mongering promoted by groups such as The Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association et.al., some farmers and politicians, other than ignorance of animal ecology and an extreme need to kill something big and scary. This attitude exists even though wolves now live in less than four percent of their historic range, and even though wolves have killed exactly two humans in North America since 1900, while dogs have killed 34 humans in the U.S. in 2016 alone. Even though wolves in Wisconsin have depredated on 55 out of more 23,000 beef and dairy operations

STATE SENATOR JANIS RINGHAND

MADISON—What would you think if the value of your property was determined by comparing your home to a blighted, abandoned house on the other side of town? Certainly, the two houses are not the same. The family that takes the time to maintain their home and property would not want to sell their home for the same price as an abandoned and blighted property in another part of town. Commercial retailers and corporations have developed a similar property tax scheme called the “Dark Store Theory” to lower the value of their commercial property and shift their property tax burden onto local homeowners. The Dark Store Theory is currently being deployed by corporations throughout Wisconsin. Some corporations believe that the new Super Center they just built has the same property value as an old, abandoned store that they have left behind. Throughout Wisconsin, big box chains and other commercial property owners are challenging their property taxes by arguing that the value of their new property is the same as an abandoned, or “dark” property in a different location. Often, the “dark” property being used as an example is property that the corporation just abandoned to move to a new location. What the corporations are doing is rigging the system against everyday people and homeowners. They believe that their property should be com-

pared to the empty and blighted store they have abandoned, not the actual value of the new store that was recently built and opened. Make no mistake, by shifting their property tax burden, the commercial property owners are sticking it to local homeowners. It seems that the only people who believe that the Dark Store tax scheme is fair are the lawyers who developed the scheme, the lobbyists who are defending the scheme and the corporations who are making both rich. The Senate Committee on Revenue, Financial Institutions and Rural Affairs heard testimony on Wednesday regarding two bi-partisan bills that I have co-authored to address this growing problem in Wisconsin. Senate Bill 291 would allow assessors to consider any applicable lease provisions and the actual rent pertaining to a property in determining the assessed value of that property. Senate Bill 292 simply states that vacant or “dark property” cannot be used as a comparison when determining the value of a fully operational and occupied property. These two bills are designed to restore fairness to local property assessments and to stop shifting the property tax burden from commercial retailers to homeowners. Hopefully, these bi-partisan bills will become law before the legislative session ends next spring.

in this state. Even though this “Kill All Wolves” attitude seems to be somehow passed from father to son or daughter, a leftover anachronism from the time when this land was being settled, and is now based on nothing more than the goal of killing and collecting heads and skins. These animals want nothing more than to stay as far away from us as possible, live out their natural lives and help us to rid the deer herd of CWD, a fact that is usually not mentioned while the knives are being sharpened, the traps oiled and the guns cleaned. Of course, farmers must have a legal recourse if a particular pack is killing their livestock. There is very little debate on that. But, the answer is not to have a wholesale slaughter such as the one the Hughlett Girls are hungering for. The answer and the best compromise is to return this animal to Threatened Status, where it can be dealt with appropriately.

Special Grantsburg bear season begins Sept. 13 BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—The second and perhaps final “Nuisance Bear Hunting Season” on private lands surrounding the village of Grantsburg starts Wednesday, Sept. 13 and runs to Oct. 10. That coincides with when bear hunting over bait is permitted in this part of the state. Crex Meadows Wildlife Area Supervisor Steve Hoffman said the hunt is by invitation only. Permit applications were sent by mail to farmers and other property owners whose land abuts the Grantsburg village limits. The 2017 hunt is limited to 100 permits, up from 75 permits during the first hunt one year ago. The tags limit hunting to that landowner’s property, or within ¼ mile of the property when in pursuit of a bear. “The Wisconsin DNR has a quota of up to 24 bear that may taken out of the hunt area this year, same as last year,” Hoffman said. “If and when we reach that quota, we will cut off the hunt. “Last year, 14 bears were harvested, 10 short of that quota, and I am not really expecting we’ll get to 24 this year either. Adding 25 more permits this year ups our odds of taking more bear out of the area and gives more people a chance to participate in the hunt,” Hoffman said. The hunt area is also the same as last year, when two of the 14 bears were taken with vertical bows, one with crossbow and the rest by rifle. All were harvested on private land by the landowner or a landowner-authorized hunter. None were taken with dogs. In August of 2016, The WDNR and the USDA Office of Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) in Rhinelander set up the special Grantsburg zone “in response to chronic and sustained bear conflicts inside the village.” APHIS had responded to nuisance complaints by trapping bears, but WDNR set the hunting rules involving the taking of bear near the village. With help from the DNR and Crex Wildlife Area staff, nuisance bear harvest tags were made available to private landowners within a 1.5 mile distance from the village limits for the 2016 bear hunting season. Tags are free but require the landowner to report any bears harvested. All Wisconsin bear hunting regulations and season dates apply. “Last year was the first hunting special season in a two-year project to break the intensity of nuisance bear conflicts that had become much more frequent within the village,” Hoffman said. Adding the 14 bears taken during the 2016 hunt to the 10 bears trapped and removed from Grantsburg during the 2016 live trap effort brought the total to two dozen bears removed from Grantsburg and nearby woods. This year, the number of nuisance black bear reports is down and the nature of the reports has changed, with far fewer reported visits by the same bear. The village’s nuisance bear problem worsened over several years. In 2014, Grantsburg’s north side resi-

dents reported a jump in bear sightings and bear-related conflicts. The bears created safety concerns for residents, especially for families with young children. The bears established a pathway through woods and yards, tore down bird feeders, toppled trash containers and came up onto the decks at some homes. The bears had become so comfortable around the village that they were often seen in daylight, even walking in the streets as cars approached. “For some of these bears, Grantsburg was their home,” Hoffman said. In spring of 2014, Grantsburg Village Board enlisted north side homeowners to call in bear sightings to the village office. Those reports resulted in more success in live-trapping the bears, including five bears trapped and removed from one family’s yard. In 2015, the village requested help through the Crex DNR staff, which turned to APHIS. A crew from Cumberland was assigned to start live-trapping the bears

in fall of 2015 but had limited success. Bears seemed to avoid the traps, or the traps weren’t in the right locations. Of the 10 bears trapped in the village in 2016, four were yearlings that had spent their entire lives in the village, authorities said. They were euthanized, along with one ear-tagged sow. That sow was first lived-trapped. Later, it was trapped and transported 120 miles to Glidden, Wis., but returned to Grantsburg in less than one year. Hoffman said the 2017 results will be reviewed and evaluated for the level of bear nuisance issues before any further years of the special hunt zone are authorized. The village reminds residents to not leave pet food outdoors where bears and other animals may be attracted, and to keep garbage away from bears until the morning of garbage pickup.

Free seminar to help take chill out of winter electric bills POLK-BURNETT ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE

CENTURIA – Cold winter temps don’t have to mean high electric bills. Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative is offering a free energy seminar from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21, to help co-op members boost energy efficiency, heating and comfort in their homes. Polk-Burnett’s free energy seminar on lowering winter electric bills will be held at the co-op office in Centuria, 1001 State Road 35. “Lowering your electricity use through conservation and energy efficiency will help lower your winter electric bill,” said Todd Schulte, Polk-Burnett’s member services manager. Seminar participants will learn tips and techniques to improve energy efficiency and lower home energy costs. “We’re very excited to demonstrate our SmartHub app that helps people track their home’s electricity use from computers, smart phones and tablets,” said Schulte. He added, “SmartHub can help you take control of the energy you use and the money you pay for electricity.” Seminar participants will also learn about co-op rebate programs on Energy Star appliances and lighting, home performance testing, geothermal heating and cooling systems, and other rebate programs available from the cooperative. Last year, Polk-Burnett gave out $106,090 in energy-efficiency rebates, and helped members save 818,093 kWhs of electricity. All in attendance have the opportunity to learn how to get a co-op rebate in 2017 and will receive a Low-Cost, No-Cost Home Energy Savers booklet and an energy-efficient LED bulb. Space is limited. To register, call 800-421-0283, ext. 595. Winter energy savers tips from Polk-Burnett Follow these tips to keep warm this winter and cut the chill out of your electric bill: 1. Lower thermostat when you go to bed or leave the house. 2. Open shades and curtains during the day to let sunshine and solar heat in. Close shades and curtains at night to keep the day’s heat inside. 3. Check your home’s weather stripping for air leaks around doors, windows, baseboards and wherever pipes and vents enter the house. Make sure the warm air you pay for doesn’t escape. 4. Clean furnace filter monthly and replace every three months to keep heating system at peak performance. 5. Turn off lights, appliances and electronics when not in use. 6. Better yet, unplug appliances and electronics that use energy even when they are turned off! Energy phantoms include microwaves, coffee makers, TVs, computers, printers, game consoles and chargers for cell phones, tablets and laptops. Any device with an indicator light or clock draws power as long as it’s plugged in.

was assisted by Siren, Webster, Pine City and Rush City Fire Departments along with North Memorial Ambulance Service and the Wisconsin DNR. No one was hurt during this event. As if one fire was not enough, Barnette received multiple calls shortly after arriving at the West River Road site detailing brush fires on both Medchill and Oeltjen Roads in Anderson Township. It is believed that a car traveling on a rim sending sparks onto

grass is the cause of both fires. Officials believe one car is responsible for both fires. Grantsburg responded to the Medchill fire and the DNR responded to the fire on Oeltjen. This is all the information known at press time.

there were a lot of people clapping and cheering.” After the last contestant finished, the judges deliberated for nearly two hours before announcing the top six. With the encouragement of family and friends who came to support her, Pedersen began to believe she may be one of the top six who would receive one more opportunity to perform. In those suspenseful two hours, Pedersen decided Black Horse in a Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall to be her song if called back to the stage. She would also switch from piano to guitar. “I asked my sister, RuthAnn, who lives in Duluth, to get her guitar. Then we [Pedersen and RuthAnn] went to multiple stores just to find a guitar strap. The one we ended up getting wasn’t even the right one for the guitar. So, we had to tie it to the guitar in order for it to work,” Pedersen said with a light chuckle. Despite time ticking away, Pedersen broke down Black Horse and a Cherry Tree into a 90-second complete song. “I decided to break it down to a beginning, middle and end. I tried to bring it all together.” She was one of the final six. However, a 25-year old bested the competition taking the audition bid. “He was very talented. In a way, I was rooting for him,” she said with a laugh. While Pedersen did not win, the judges told her it was like splitting hairs. This 19-year-old Grantsburg girl was told she has a natural way of connecting to the audience with her body and facial expressions, and of course, her voice. They told her she knows what she is doing on the stage. This decision came as relief. While a victory would have been happily accepted, she explained that her mission with music is to help others discover the pow-

er of it, to see how it can dull the edges of hard times and help people through trying situations. To Pedersen, music is therapy. A lifelong music lover, Pedersen says she owes much of her success to her family. She first mentioned her late uncle, “Buddha-Jack.” One of her most memorable moments came when she was much younger and her uncle urged her to sing Turtle Blues by Janis Joplin. “He got me to connect with the music. He taught me how to get mean during some songs. It is an aggressive song by Janis Joplin.” She added “When he passed away, I began picking up more instruments and performing more for him. I want to carry out his legacy because he was such a good musician and he inspired me to show other people what music is about.” Pedersen also mentioned her mother and says she wouldn’t be performing at events like Northland Idol without her guidance. Of her sister, RuthAnn, she mentioned, “My sister can play the saxophone like nothing I’ve heard before.” Her father is another talented musician she said she owes much gratitude. Without these people and more, Pedersen says she wouldn’t be the musician and performer she is today. Pedersen is a sophomore at St. Cloud State University and majors in music education with an emphasis on vocals. While she says she will always practice her own music and perform for others, she maintains her biggest goal is to show others what music can do. She hopes to one day become a high school choir director and maybe even teach in a college setting some day. “I encourage everyone in Grantsburg and around the world to pick up an instrument, listen to music and see if it does anything.” She added, “If I could, I’d let music know it’s a lifesaver. It means everything to a lot of people. It means everything to me. I don’t know where I’d be without it.”

How to Help Texas WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY AFFAIRS

MADISON— Here are a few important guidelines to ensure your support can be the most helpful.

Cash donations to trusted organizations: The most effective way to support disaster survivors in their recovery is to donate money and time to trusted, reputable, voluntary or charitable organizations. Cash donations offer these organizations the most flexibility to address urgently developing needs. This inflow of cash also pumps money back into the local economy and helps local businesses recover faster.

Please do not donate unsolicited goods: When personal items are donated, the helping agencies must redirect their staff away from providing direct services to survivors in order to sort, package, transport, warehouse and distribute items that may not meet the needs of disaster survivors.

Individuals, corporations and volunteers: You can learn more about how to help on the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) website: https://www.nvoad.org. The State of Texas is asking volunteers to not self-deploy, as unexpectedly showing up to any of the communities that have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey will create an additional burden for first responders. The National VOAD also noted the situation may not be conducive to volunteers entering the impacted zone and individuals may find themselves turned away by law enforcement. To ensure volunteer safety, as well as the safety of disaster survivors, volunteers should only go into affected areas with a specific volunteer assignment, proper safety gear and valid identification. At this time, potential volunteers are asked to register with a voluntary or charitable organization of their choice.

Jury awards $20 million in medical malpractice MINNEAPOLIS— The family of a woman who died six days after giving birth at Abbott Northwestern Hospital has won a judgment in Hennepin County exceeding $20 million. The verdict represents the largest medical malpractice case in Minnesota history, according to the family’s attorney. According to an article published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune last week, “The six-person jury’s unanimous verdict came Monday afternoon, Aug. 26 in Hennepin County District Court on behalf of the husband and other relatives of Nicole Bermingham, 30, who died on Aug. 26, 2013.” The lawsuit, filed in January 2016, named Patricia Eid and Minneapolis-based Emergency Care Consultants, which provides emergency medical personnel to Abbott and other Twin Cities hospitals, as defendants. The article also states, “The attorney for both defendants, Barb Zurek, said that ‘while we disagree with the jury’s findings,’ her clients have not decided whether to appeal.”

After giving birth, Bermingham was discharged to her home in Maple Grove, according to court documents. She returned to the hospital days later stating she was experiencing fever and nausea. After reviewing lab results, it is reported Eid declared Bermingham to have a urinary tract infection and sent her home. Bermingham died of sepsis in the Minneapolis hospital. Eid works at the Burnett Medical Center as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Burnett Medical CEO Gordy Lewis stated, “We obviously take this very seriously. We want to reassure the public that Burnett Medical Center stands by Pat Eid. We believe she capably performs her duties for our patients in service to our community.” Lewis also stated, “Burnett Medical has in place a sepsis protocol. The use of such protocols are evidence-based best practice. As part of our quality assurance program, we develop protocols as they have been shown to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes.”

Fred Abbas, renowned deer hunter, coming to Luck Deer hunters mark down this date. Saturday, September 9 at 5 p.m., Fred Abbas will be speaking at the Luck Public Library. Just one week before bow season starts, Mr. Abbas will be sharing the hunting secrets he developed using the deadly art of mock scrapes. You may have seen some of his innovative hunting techniques on Youtube and Vimeo and have been waiting for the chance to get the complete story on how and why this deadly hunting technique, when done properly, is so effective in bringing down the monster bucks. Fred is well known in the Whitetail world as a trophy buck hunter, writer, inventor, and former co-Host of TV’s A-Way Outdoors. He currently has 60 whitetails registered in the trophy books of CBM, Pope & Young, Buckmasters and Longhunters Society. Most of these deer were taken with a bow. He is the only Michigan hunter to officially tag and register four trophy-book bucks in one year. 1990 was the last year Michigan had a four-buck limit and Fred spent 88 straight days in the field carefully fine tuning his craft. Mr. Abbas has a unique way of “speaking” to the deer. From each rub, he is able to have a “conversation” with the buck that made it and literally comes away from that conversation with all of the critical information he needs to identify that buck and call it into his realm. “Never underestimate the power of getting a deer to be curious,” Fred says in his

talks. He also advocates getting to the “be curious” way before the season actually starts. With common, inexpensive ingredients, he prepares scrapes and changes scents throughout the season. Fred has been writing about his experiences and hunting tactics and has been published in many outdoor magazines and journals. In 2011, Mr. Abbas explained the scrape this way, “There is no other buck sign in the woods that gives up so much information about local deer, bucks in particular, than scrapes and licking branches. Humans can equate this to what the internet and smart phones can do for them.” With a deer’s sense of smell being the hardest thing to fool, a hunter has to really use proven tactics to get a buck’s attention. Through the use of innovative scrapes and scents, a hunter can learn to communicate with the deer. Fred asks his deer questions and gets answers that help him discover all he needs to know. He will be discussing this open communication he has with deer and share more wisdom and stories September 9. Abbas’ depth of knowledge is fascinating. Sportsmen, you don’t want to miss this very special event. It is not often that you will have the opportunity to get up close and personal and have your questions answered by such a venerated hunter. While this event is free, seating is limited, so please call the Luck Public Library (715-472-2770) to ensure a spot.

Bayﬁeld County author speaks Sept. 14 at Webster

WEBSTER—At 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 14 at Larsen Family Public Library, Bayfield County Author James Brakken will read from and discuss his newest book, Alias Ray Olson: The Complete Story behind the 1939 Chequamegon Man Hunt. You may have heard bits and pieces of the tale of murder fugitive, Ray Olson. Now it’s time you learned the whole story, the one that the government didn’t want folks to know. It all started with slot machines being sabotaged. Ray Olson, a guide and handyman for several area resorts, was singled out by the police. An attempt to bring him in led to a high-speed chase through Hayward, then a stolen car and, finally, a double-homicide on the Chippewa Flowage. This led to Wisconsin’s largest-ever man-

hunt and a series of amazing close calls and at least eight escapes as Ray Olson sought refuge in the Chequamegon Forest. His plight altered life in the north. James Brakken’s writing endeavors began in college when his Muskie Madness, the story of a fishing trip with his father, was published in “Boys’ Life” magazine. Other magazine articles followed, but his first novel, The Treasure of Namekagon, waited until the author retired from his position as an art and photography teacher. Mr. Brakken writes from his home in Wisconsin’s Bayfield County. A historian and conservationist, he earned statewide recognition for his work to protect and preserve the lakes and streams of northwest Wisconsin through his writing.

September is Hunger Action Month, a nationwide campaign to mobilize the public to take action and help feed the 48 million people who live with hunger every day. There are four ways you can take action: • Donate food or money to your local food shelf. • Show your support by wearing orange all month long or on September 14 for Hunger Action Day. • Start a food drive to donate to your local food shelf. • Spread awareness and post your efforts on Facebook. Hunger is seen in our rural community every day. There are approximately 2.8 million rural households that face hunger. Three quarters of the counties with the highest rates of food insecurity and 86 percent of the counties with the highest rates of child food insecurities are in rural areas. This is due to living in areas with high unemployment rates and where jobs have a lower wage. The food shelf at Connections Store and More serves roughly 200 local families each month. Many families are put in tough situations where they have to choose between paying the bills or buying food. Some families need to pay for expensive medications and cannot afford food. With winter right around the corner, utility bills get higher making it difficult to purchase food as well. The food shelf at Connections Store and More is offered from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays and from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month. Government guidelines apply. The food shelf at Connections also offers two food distributions each month. The first Thursday of the month distribution is given by the Lions, Lioness and Webb Lake Community Club. The third Thursday of the month distribution is given by God’s Serving People-Yellow Lake Distribution. Anyone from any community is welcome to come. There is no income limit.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

This week I want to tell you about our little angel Evi, a sweet kitten that arrived at the shelter as a stray on July 7. Poor Evi was not doing well. She had an upper respiratory infection and a few other issues and weighed just 1.6 pounds. It’s been a bit of a journey for Evi, but thanks to the p person who brought her tto us she is now doing g great and is ready for her fforever home. Evi is a pretty ginger w who no doubt would be e eternally grateful to have ssomeone to love her and tto love someone in return. IIf you have it in your h heart to adopt this sweeth heart and could provide Evi her with the home she deserves, we at the shelter would like nothing better. I want to commend Kris, one of our volunteers, for all her hard work in hauling in the cans donated at the shelter, going through the bags, crushing and then rebagging. Her husband, Monte, made three trips hauling the cans to Friberg’s in Frederic. Thanks to the donors we collected more than $400 for the animals! We really appreciate all the help and donations of the aluminum cans as fundraiser. When donating aluminum cans, please note that other types of cans, glass and paper cannot be included. Thanks a bunch! I want to touch on the horrendous devastation in Texas. All the people and animals that are affected by the hurricane need our help. It’s been heartwarming to see how many people have stepped up to help so many – it’s what we are all meant to do. Please consider donating to one of the reputable charities as these people and pets will be displaced for a long time. Thank you. Remember: A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, Don’t Shop!”

If you are interested in adopting Evi or another animal from The Humane Society of Burnett County shelter, please call (715) 866-4096 or visit the website at www. hsburnettcty.org.

New boat to enhance Lake Superior research SUPERIOR—The Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve is now home to a vessel that will greatly enhance its scientific research, monitoring and educational missions. The 25-foot vessel is assigned under an agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Reserve’s federal partner and funding agency. Owned by NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, the vessel will dock at the Reserve’s Barkers Island headquarters. Its mission will be to ferry Reserve staff, visiting scientists, student groups and scientific equipment around the St. Louis River Estuary and Lake Superior. The vessel is intended for operation in protected waters and nearshore environments, making it an ideal boat to navigate the St. Louis River Estuary and coastal Lake Superior. It comes outfitted with a high-resolution sidescan sonar that produces detailed images of lakebeds and river bottoms. Additionally, an onboard side crane allows loading and unloading of bulky scientific equipment needed for other research endeavors, meaning the vessel will be a versatile workhorse for the reserve, its research partners and visiting scientists. “Reserve staff, the Friends of Lake Superior Reserve and our community partners are very excited about this boat,” said Reserve Manager Erika Washburn. “This first-in-the-nation

MADISON—Before taking part in upcoming hunting seasons or placing feed for wildlife, hunters and wildlife watchers should be sure to check which counties currently prohibit wildlife baiting and feeding activities. State statutes 29.336 (2) (b) and 29.336 (2) (c) have been amended to remove deer baiting and feeding prohibitions for counties in which 36 months have passed since any confirmed positive test for chronic wasting disease or bovine tuberculosis within the county. This amendment also removes deer baiting and feeding prohibitions in adjacent counties that are within a 10-mile radius to counties in which 24 months have passed since any confirmed positive test for chronic wasting disease or bovine tuberculosis. The following 15 counties previously subject to deer baiting and feeding prohibitions have reverted back

to regulated deer baiting and feeding as a result of this proposal’s enactment: Barron, Burnett, Calumet, Clark, Dodge, Jackson, Kenosha, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Polk, Racine, Sheboygan, Washburn, Washington and Waushara. It is important to note that baiting and feeding restrictions remain in place for 28 CWD affected areas/counties, of which none will be lifted in 2017. This change affects counties in which an individual is restricted on the placement of bait/feed. The current regulations for placement of bait/feed in counties where this practice is allowed are still in place, including timing, location, quantity and other requirements. Hunters should continue to follow local ordinances that may prohibit baiting and feeding of deer until they are notified of a change locally. Those interested in baiting/feeding should take time to be familiar with the associated regulations, found at dnr.wi.gov, keywords “baiting and feeding.”

might be most useful to other NERR reserves as NOAA considers expanding its working relationship with the system. “This is the first time there’s been this very direct partnership between a NERR and NOAA in terms of research vessel support,” said Dennis Donahue, marine superintendent for NOAA’s Lake Michigan Field Station. “A number of reserves are looking into how this type of partnership might translate to them.”

2017 NFL SCHEDULE NFC|NORTH

PACKERS GET AN UPGRADE GREEN BAY PACKERS QB AARON RODGERS >>> The NFC North has been getting more competitive. This year the mystery team is the Minnesota Vikings. Can their defense repeat last year’s dominance and can quarterback Sam Bradford rise to the occasion without Adrian Peterson in the backﬁeld? Rookie Dalvin Cook enters to ﬁll Peterson’s spot. The Detroit Lions made the playoffs last season on the heroics of Matt Stafford’s arm. With Golden Tate to throw to, Stafford can put up some serious numbers. Still, the Lions defense needs help with the pass rush. Jay Cutler is gone in Chicago. Enter former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Mike Glennon and rookie Mitchell Trubisky out of North Carolina. At 3-13 a year ago this team has nowhere to go but up. Green Bay overcame horrendous defensive play last season to make the NFC championship game. Now Aaron Rogers has another target in tight end Martellus Bennett, who signed as a free agent. The Pack addressed their defense heavily in the draft but having Rogers under center is obviously the ultimate edge.

Pirates shut out Tigers, 41-0 BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers opened up North Lakeland Conference play at home against the high-scoring Grantsburg Pirates on Friday night. Both teams entered the game with unblemished 2-0 records after taking down their non-conference opponents the past two weeks. The Tigers had their hands full with the Pirates’ high-powered offense who have amassed 126 points in their first two games of the season. They also had to figure out a way to stop hard-running John Chenal who came into Friday’s game leading the state in all divisions in rushing yards on the season as well season touchdowns and rushing yards per game. Webster’s defense is disciplined and they are good tacklers, who did not let the Pirates bust open any long runs as they have done in their

into Friday’s game, the Tigers’ defense did a good job of containing him. Webster had 154 yards of total offense with 117 of those coming in the air behind the arm of junior quarterback

Trevor Gustafson. They moved the ball well at times, especially early in the game, but were never able to punch it in for a score. “I felt our kids played hard on Friday night. We knew we

would have to play a perfect game in order to hang with a very strong Grantsburg team,” Tigers Coach Andy Smith said. “With two of our starters missing the game due to injury, we had to ask a couple of sophomores to step up and I felt they did.” “Xavier Stanton made his second interception in the last two weeks. Jacob Berg played with a lot of heart on the offensive line, Trevor Gustafson showed a lot of poise at QB and his receivers made some great catches down field. We had a lot of young kids gain some valuable varsity experience.” The Tigers received the opening kick off and worked methodically to move the ball and keep the Pirate offense off the field. Unfortunately, the offense stalled and the Pirates took over on downs. Grantsburg struck first on a screen pass from Luke Anderson to Leo Chenal who took SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 19

Young Tiger squad gives Pirates a battle BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—This year’s Webster Tigers’ varsity volleyball roster includes eight freshmen, two sophomores and two seniors. They are young to say the least, but the talent on this team will be up for the challenge every time they take the court this season. In Thursday’s match with West Lakeland Conference rival Grantsburg, the young Tigers showed off their scrappy defense built around the powerhouse hitting of senior Taylor Howe, a four-year varsity starter. They came up short against the tough Pirate squad, but not before stealing a set and keeping the Pirates on their toes. Grantsburg came out with the win, 3-1, by the scores of 25-17, 22-25, 25-12 and 25-15. “Webster’s class of 2021 is a force to be reckoned with,” Pirates Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said of the Tigers. “Look for them to grow in confidence and consistency because they are brimming with talent. And then there’s Taylor Howe–one of the top players in the conference and a four-year starter for Webster. Build a team of talented kids around her and you are pretty tough to stop.”

After dropping the first set, the Tigers jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead to start the second set. The Pirates pulled it together and tied it up at nine apiece before Webster went on another run. Grantsburg committed 14 unforced errors in this set and soon found themselves down 15-21 before calling a time-out to collect themselves. Sophomore Olivia Ohnstad stepped up and led the Pirate rally with strong net play as they battled to get back into the game and knot it up at 22-22, forcing the Tigers to take a time-out. The Tigers pulled it together and finished the game on a huge hit from Howe to take this set 25-22. The Pirates found their groove in the final two sets and walked away with the wins, 25-12 and 25-15 to end the night. “I was proud of how the girls played versus such tough competition early in the season,” Tigers Coach Stefani Janseen said. “We have a little work to do on our defense and look forward to competing with the Grantsburg team later this season.” For Grantsburg, it was Ohnstad

Pirates, Tigers at Spooner Invitational BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SPOONER–The Spooner Invitational Cross Country meet was last Thursday at Spooner. Among the boys, Webster was seventh and Grantsburg tenth. From Webster, Joey Formanek was ninth with a time of 18:46.8. Hunter Erickson was close behind in twelfth place with 18:53.4. Mason Schaaf (31st) Kerik Stubbe (53rd) and Dustin Kern (56th) were next for the Tigers with Edwin Janssen and Landon Malsom finishing up. Webster coach Roy Ward said, “The Webster Tigers have another meet on their race shoes. Joey Formanek reclaims the title from Hunter Erickson. I love it. Hunter says, not for long. Kerik Stubbe had a nice race, but he and Dustin Kern have a lot of work to do. Our top five spread is

still three minutes. They all improved so spread did not. Nobody can out kick Dustin... that kid is super fast. Trent shaved a bunch of time off and his teammate Joshua Moretter was over five minutes faster than the grueling Grantsburg course. It was nice to have Landon Malsom make his race

debut as a Webster Tiger and earning a spot on the varsity team.” Joseph Ohnstad was sixteenth (19:09.3) for the Pirates with Joseph Duncan (19:39.5) and Jared Lee (20:46.2) second and third for Grantsburg. Teddy Vitale, Trevor Vollendorf, Cole Reichstadt and Connor DeTienne were the closers. “Spooner meet! Great meet!” exclaimed Pirate coach Lisa McKinley. “I was very pleased with the efforts of all the Pirate athletes. Each is learning to run with their individual strengths to better their performance which enhances team performance. On the girls side, Webster placed eleventh as a team. Sam Nelson, Webster, placed 21st (23:21.6). Sydney Raschke, Jenna Gomulak, Ali Moritz and Kaley Bergstrom were next. Trinity Olguin and Lexi Symond finished up.

Grantsburg had just two runners. Grace Gerber finished in tenth place with a time of 22:27.9 and Hope McKinley had a time of 29:11.8. “It is inspiring to watch these athletes achieve PRs (personal record),” commented Coach McKinley. “Joseph Ohnstad, Joey Duncan, Jared Lee and Trevor Vollendorf all established a course PR from last season. Theodore Vitale, Gracie Gerber, and Hope McKinley

bettered their time from last week for a season PR.” “I am excited as the season continues to see these athletes continue to improve,” finished Coach McKinley. “Bergstrom took the most time off from Grantsburg with more than six minutes,” praised Coach Ward. “Sydney Raschke ran a nice race. I enjoy her personality she brings to the team. If you haven't made it to a meet, this is just some of the really fun stuff you are missing. We'll have to wait and see.” After the Webster meet on Tuesday where both Grantsburg and Webster will participate, Grantsburg will travel to Cameron on September 7 and both teams will go to Rice Lake on September 12.

Dragons get into win column with win over Bears BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

CLAYTON—With both teams winless going into the third game of the season, someone had to win. The Dragons were the better of the two teams at the end of the contest, winning 49-40 on Friday. “This was a football game with two teams who weren't playing very well,” commented Siren coach Ryan Karsten following the game. “It was what two teams who were both 0-2 look like. There were fumbles, turnovers, great defensive plays, bad defensive plays, good catches, bad offense. This wasn't a game with the top two teams in the state playing perfect football. We did just enough to win.” The Bears scored quickly as they took the opening kickoff. Less than three minutes into the game, they scored on a 19-yard run. The two point conversion failed. The Dragons were stopped and turned the ball over on downs. Clayton completed a 20-yard touchdown pass and the conversion was good. The Bears were up 14-0 with 6:33 left in the opening quarter. Siren, though, got moving and quickly drove down-field and scored on a one yard plunge by Tyler Anton. The two point conversion was good and the quarter ended with Clayton up 14-8. The Dragons forced Clayton to punt and Siren took over possession on their own 37. Thirteen

plays later, Jordan Webster caught a three yard pass from Derek Highstrom. The conversion failed, but the Dragons had tied the game at 14. It didn't stay that way long as on Clayton's first play following the kickoff return, a tipped pass ended up in the hands of Dragon Noah Koball. He raced 45 yards for the touchdown. The conversion failed, but Siren took the lead. The Dragons scored twice more in the second frame. Jordan Webster ran the ball in from the 10 yard line and less than three minutes later Logan Meagher scored from the 20 yard line. The sec-

ond two point conversion was successful and the Dragons were up 34-14. With 12 seconds left in the half, Clayton crossed the goal line on an eightyard TD pass. Their conversion was good and at the half, Siren led 34-22. With Clayton kicking off to begin the third quarter, Siren tipped the ball enabling Clayton to recover and begin possession right at the midfield stripe. Four plays later, the Bears completed a 16-yard TD pass. The conversion failed. The Dragons fumbled on their next possession with Clayton recovering on Siren's 42. Four plays

later another 14-yard TD pass was completed. Again the conversion failed, but Clayton had tied the score at 34. Both teams defense then held, forcing the opposition to punt. On the Dragons next possession, they got down to the Clayton 15 where the drive stalled. A field goal was attempted, but was no good. The Bears took over and moved to their own 35 where a high snap from center caused a Clayton fumble. Siren recovered the fumble and ran it in for a score. The PAT was good and the Dragons were up again, this time 41-34. The PAT

ended the third quarter of play. After the kickoff, Siren held and forced Clayton to punt. Siren moved to the Clayton 49 where on the next play, the Bears intercepted a Dragon pass and started their drive on their own 40. Six plays later, the Bears fumbled away the ball. Siren recovered and ran the ball to the Clayton 10. On the third play, Meagher got the score from four yards out. The two point conversion was good and the Dragons were in the lead at 49-34 with 5:49 left in the

contest. A nine play, 71-yard drive ended with a five yard touchdown by the Bears. The conversion failed. The Dragons were able to control the ball and the clock and took the game 49-40. Coach Karsten said, “We don't know about next week, what will happen. Our goal is to win one a week. We'll give them (Luck) the best we got.” Siren hosts Luck next Friday in a 7 p.m. contest.

Saints hand Dragons home opener loss BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The St. Croix Falls Saints handed the Siren Dragons a 3-0 loss on Thursday night in the Dragons’ home opener. The game scores were 25-8, 25-16, and 25-13. “I think we had a lot of first game jitters going on,” reflected Siren coach Kristin Kosloski. “One of our players sat out as she couldn't play at the last minute.” The first game was tied at 2-2 when the Saints rolled off 12 of the next 13 points to get a commanding 14-3 advantage. The Dragons managed only six more points in the game whereas the Saints got 11 more to take game one. Game two started out dif-

ferently as the Dragons led as much as 6-2 in the early going. But the St. Croix team overcame the errors and went on a 5-0 run to take the lead at 7-6. The Dragons tied it at seven on a short return by the Saints. St. Croix went up by two, Siren narrowed it to one, the teams exchanged serves three times consecutively. At 13-10 Saints, St. Croix added three to give themselves a little working room. Gradually, the Saints pulled ahead and won game two. Game three saw the Dragons stay with the Saints up to the 7-6 scoring period for St. Croix. The Saints pulled out again and led as much as 18-12. Siren didn't give up as during the next few minutes, one particular volley between

the two teams “lasted forever.” The teams battled intensely as the ball was meant for kills, but didn't get there. Digs and dives were recorded and many sets were made by fatigued setters and kills were attempted by wearied front line personnel. St. Croix ended the volley and a short return by the Dragons. “St. Croix has some pretty tall girls,” said Coach Kosloski. I know that every game we play we're going to face that,” commented Coach Kosloski. “We should have gotten rid of the first game jitters so we should play better.” Abby Kosloski had three kills with Jade Horstman and Karlee Sybers getting two each. Amy Stanford had four assists.

Webster’s Brooke Hetfeld makes a dig against the Frederic Vikings last Tuesday in a 3-0 Tiger win. Skyler Winkler looks on.

FREDERIC—The Webster Tigers opened their part of the Lakeland Conference volleyball season with a 3-0 win over the Frederic Vikings last Tuesday night. Game scores were 25-18, 25-12, and 25-19. “The girls were a little nervous,” began Coach Stefanie Janssen, “but they played well together.” The Tigers jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead on a couple of kills. Further along a kill by Hannah McDowell stretched the lead to 8-2 and later one by Makena Buffington increased the score to 11-4. Skyler Winkler got a kill to give the Tigers a 19-7 advan-

tage. Webster continued good play and ended the game at 25-18. Two aces by the Tigers' Torrence Wols helped Webster to a 4-0 start in game two. Webster kept mistakes to a minimum and Frederic took a time out trailing 13-6. Frederic made too many errors and soon were behind 20-9 and lost game two by 13. In game three, “I tried different substitution rotations and they didn't work out too well,” said Coach Janssen. After leading 8-1, the Vikings fought back to knot the score at 13. The Tigers edged ahead to lead at 18-13 when the Vikings again called time. Each team scored equally, with the Tigers up 23-17 when

Taylor Howe delivered a tremendous kill to make it 24-17. Frederic scored twice more, but then Howe did it once again with a resounding kill to end the game and the match. “It should be a good match against Grantsburg,” said Coach Janssen. “We're looking forward to it.” Statistically, Taylor Howe led in kills with 16. Torrence Wols had 14 assists and seven serving aces. Emma Zmuda had ten digs and Summer Winkler tallied two blocks. “It was exciting to start our 2017 season with a win. The girls came out and played solid volleyball. As a coaching staff, we are looking forward to what this season will bring.”

Pirates take home opener over Eagles BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—“The home opener is often a little shaky. There’s something about playing in front of throngs of friends, fans, and family for the first time that seems to spark a bit of performance anxiety,” Pirates Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “It was not a pretty win, but I’m always grateful for a win and proud of our athletes for striving for success.” The Pirates kept their opening night jitters in check, sweeping the visiting Unity Eagles 3-0 to start the 2017 conference season with a win. Scores were 25-17, 25-19 and 25-21. There are several new faces taking the varsity court this year for the Pirates, and they have just three seniors on the roster. “This year, we have a few more moving parts in our machine, a few more ‘shared’ positions, and a

few more as yet uncertain roles,” Allaman-Johnson noted. “It is challenging to shuffle 13 or 14 players through the lineup, but we got thirteen on the court — with the exception of the shared jv/varsity player who already competed for JV.” Senior Kenna Johnson led Grantsburg’s offensive attack with 11 kills on the night. Randi Siebenthal was next on the list with six, followed by Jenna McNally with five and Olivia Ohnstad with four. Linda Harmon and Rachel Tooze rounded out the list with three kills each. Siebenthal topped the list for defensive digs with 14. McNally tallied 12 and Alaina Oachs had six. Charli Siebenthal was the assist leader with 15 for the night, while Olivia Oachs had nine. After sharing the title with Luck and St. Croix last season, the Pirates look to keep the tradition alive and stay atop the West Lake-

land Conference standings again this year, but Allaman-Johnson knows that it is not a ‘given’ and the competition is tough again this year. “I have said this for the last several years, but fans of Grantsburg volleyball prior to 2012 should be able to see how much stronger our conference is now that everyone has youth programs and many athletes competing in club volleyball and/or summer league. It is a lot more competitive and really tough for any one team to dominate these days,” Allaman-Johnson said. “I expect another exciting, though stressful, conference season. I sometimes miss the old days of easy wins. But, we are competitors here, and you can expect the Pirates to step up on the court and compete with every team we face.” STACY COY | SENTINEL

it 23 yards for the score. The point after attempt by Jared VanWatermuelen put the Pirates up 7-0. The Tigers again moved the ball down the field and on the last play of first quarter, Gustafson launched a perfect pass to a waiting Carter Doriott to put them at the sixyard line. But the Pirates defense stood strong and the Tigers were unable to find the endzone for the score, putting the Pirates back on the offensive attack. They marched down the field, eventually scoring off a three-yard run by John Chenal. The PAT was no good to make the score 13-0. The Pirates hit paydirt once more this half on a 56-yard pass play from Anderson to Leo Chenal. The two-point conversion failed, making it 19-0 at the half. “Our first drive was deep into their territory and got stalled out on a holding call. Our next drive made it to the one yard line and we couldn’t put the ball into the end zone,” Coach Smith said. “We also gave up a late scoring drive to them with less than a minute left that really hurt our chances to stay in the game.” Grantsburg lit up the scoreboard three times in the second half. The first score was a 30-yard touchdown run by John Chenal, with Anderson running in the two-point conversion. Leo Chenal got his third TD of the game on an 18-yard run. Anderson again ran in the two-point conversion to make it 35-0 . The final score came on a 25-yard run by Bryce Roufs. The PAT failed to make the final score 41-0. “Webster did a nice job early controlling the clock and sustaining drives. When our offense was on the field, I thought we did a nice job putting drives together as well. Luke Anderson played well and continues to improve each week at quarterback,” Pirates Coach Adam Hale said.

Grantsburg’s Leo Chenal eyes the defense as he takes the ball up the ﬁeld.

“Defensively, we woke up a bit in the second half led by strong performances by Leo and John Chenal. I also thought Reed Arnold really played well for his third varsity game.” Leo Chenal led the Pirates with three touchdowns — two in the air and one on the ground. He had 43 yards of rushing to go along with 79 receiving yards

on two catches. John Chenal racked up 202 rushing yards on 18 attempts. Roufs had 25 yards rushing and Levi Miller tallied 23. On the defensive side of the ball, John Chenal had nine solo tackles with two assists, followed by Leo Chenal with eight solos and three assists. Sopho-

more Reed Arnold had an impressive night with four solos and three assists. Gabe Chenal made his presence felt as well with two solos and three assists. For Webster, Hunter Gustafson was the leading rusher with 19 yards on 12 attempts. Quarterback Trevor Gustafson was next with 13 yards on nine attempts. Doriott was the leading receiver with two catches for 49 yards, followed by Brad Sigfrids who tallied 46 yards on four catches. Defensively, Simeon Wilson battled hard all night racking up 10 total tackles. Trevor Gustafson was next with eight. Andrew had six, followed closely by Keith Glienke and Dalton McCarthy with five each. “Our goal this year is to make the playoffs, and I thought our players continued to show improvement to work towards that goal,” Coach Smith added. The Tigers will travel to Unity this Friday to take on the Eagles. Kick-off is 7 p.m. The Pirates were scheduled to play Washburn this Friday, but the Steelheads canceled their season and Grantsburg was unable to pick up another game. They will get the win by forfeit to make their record 4-0 on the season. They will have their home opener on September 15 when they host Elmwood/Plum City.

If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make the household eligible for reduced price meals or free meals if the household income falls at or below the levels shown above, and they may reapply at that time. Children formally placed in foster care are also eligible for free meal bene¿ts. Foster children may be certi¿ed as eligible without a household application. Households with foster children and non-foster children may choose to include the foster child as a household member, as well as any personal income available to the foster child, on the same application that includes their non-foster children. The information provided by the household on the application is con¿dential. Public Law 103-448 limits the release of student free and reduced price school meal eligibility status to persons directly connected with the administration and enforcement of federal or state educational programs. Consent of the parent/guardian is needed for other purposes such as waiver of text book fees.

NOTICE OF PENDING APPLICATION FOR PROPOSED BOAT RAMP

Mark Johnson, 230 West Coleman Street, Rice Lake, WI 54868 has applied to the Department of Natural Resources for a permit to place a private boat ramp on the bed of Pokegama Lake. The project is located in the SE1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 15, Township 38 North, Range 15 West, Town of La Follette, Burnett County.

The owners are proposing to construct a private access for the residents on the lake. The Department will review the proposal provided by the applicant and any information from public comments and a public informational hearing, if requested.

As of September 16, the Burnett County State-Funded Summer Use ATV trails are closed. However, from September 16 through November 30 the Burnett County Forest woods trails and County Forest roads are open for ATV/UTV use. What this means is that you can ride your registered ATV/UTV on any woods trail, snowmobile trail and ATV trail located on County Forest Lands as long as it is not bermed, gated, or signed as closed; and is at least eight feet wide. (A good rule of thumb is that if you can drive your truck down the trail, then you can take your ATV/ UTV down it.) Reminder: No off-road motorcycles are allowed on our trails or on Burnett County Forest Lands at any time. No off-trail use is allowed and operation on private lands is illegal unless you have permission from the private landowner. Also note that ATV/UTV use is NOT allowed on the Gandy Dancer Trail at this time of year, except north of Hwy 77 into Minnesota. Many townships allow the use of the town roads. If a town road is signed as a road route open for ATV/UTV use during this time, it can be used. If it is signed as closed, or if there is no signage, the town road is NOT open to ATV/UTV use. Please contact individual townships for their rules and regulations if you have any questions. Contact information can be found on our website at www.burnettcounty.com/townships. It is very important to note that all of these trails are currently multi-use trails. This means that any street legal, licensed vehicle can use these trails during this time, (trucks for example). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to note that these trails are no longer being maintained during this time of year. For these reasons we call the State-Funded Summer Use ATV Trail System closed, even though you can still ride the majority of these same trails because they are located on County Forest Lands and township roads that currently allow for the use of ATV/UTVs during this time of year. Remember, it is your responsibility to know where you are and whose property you are on. If you are unsure of where Burnett County Forest Land is located, please refer to a Burnett County Plat Book, as this is your best resource. If you have any questions, please contact the Burnett County Forest & Parks Department at (715) 349-2157, or visit our website at www.burnettcounty.com/trails. You may also sign up for e-mail or text notiÂżcations of trail conditions on our website at www.burnettcounty.com/notifyme. Thank you, Burnett County Forest & Parks Staff

How is faith like mini-golf? 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.

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.

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

Patriot Day at Frederic Elementary FREDERIC—Frederic Elementary School’s Annual Patriot Day recognition program begins at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 11 at the Frederic Elementary School. The public is invited to attend. Patriot day events at the school begin at 8:45 a.m. with flag raising and Pledge of Allegiance led by the American Legion. Patriots Day was initiated as a 9-11 remembrance. In Frederic, the day’s theme is “Patriotism in Everyone” while focusing on our local heroes from the military, police, fire fighters, EMTs, all community service providers and

blood donors. This is the first year of inviting all blood donors to the program to recognize their valuable contributions that literally saves lives. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend and show your support. This program will focus on the people impacted by Hurricane Harvey and their need for assistance. There will be an opportunity to sign up as a blood donor. The public will be invited to extend financial support for the people affected by Hurricane Harvey. Contributions will be accepted at the program and also via

collection jars throughout September placed by the school students and staff at local businesses. Thank you for the cooperation of our business community. Each year Principal Kelly Steen, along with faculty, paraprofessionals and students create a heartfelt, patriotic, interactive, emotional and stirring program. The public from all communities are encouraged to attend this onehour event. American Legion members, VFW and military, and other uniformed public service providers are encouraged to wear identifying affiliation or uniform.

of the Dodge and come towards the Jeep, but went back to the truck once Robinson shot at the Jeep. Deputies report that station surveillance footage showed events as the witness had described them. They also saw many cars coming and going, and commuters returning to their cars in the carpooling parking lot area, which was in the direction the shot was fired. Pine County dispatch informed the deputies that a 911 call was made by Johnston, the Dodge passenger, around 3:57 p.m., in which he said he was following Jesse Leroy Boster, 37, of Hinckley, who he believed had warrants for his arrest and was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee. On the recording a male can be heard saying, “Didn’t you let him get out?” prior to dispatch answering the call. Johnston did not report the shooting incident during the 911 call. Deputies went to Robinson’s home, but he was not there. Deputies then called Johnston. According to the deputy, Johnston said that he and Robinson were concerned about a theft of motorcycles from a business in North Branch owned by Johnston’s son. He said they were looking for the Jeep driver, Boster. Robinson speaks to deputies On Aug. 31, around 12:15 a.m., Robinson contacted the sheriff’s office, and a deputy came to his home. According to the deputy, Robinson said he was working his own investigation on Boster. He said he was in contact with a Drug Enforcement Agency agent out of the cities who gave him instructions on how to conduct a citizen’s arrest. He told the deputy he arranged to set up a “buy” from Boster at the Rock Creek Pit Stop. He said he went to the gas station to meet Boster, saw Boster at one of the pumps, exited his truck, and approached Boster. He said that Boster jumped back into his Jeep and slammed the car door. He then opened Boster’s door and grabbed Boster to pull him out of the car. Robinson told the deputy that as he did this he thought he saw Boster going for what he thought was a gun, so he drew his own revolver and fired one round at Boster as Boster drove away. Robinson said that he got back into his truck and chased Boster northbound on Interstate 35 until Boster turned around in the median and drove southbound. Robinson stated he thought he saw Boster “flip him off” and flash the gun at him again. Robinson said he attempted to follow Boster southbound but lost him in traffic. He said he wanted to get Boster’s plate number to report it to a “criminal apprehension team,” but they had not returned his call. According to the deputy, Robinson said he knew there was no excuse for not reporting the shooting and that he made a mistake not reporting it. Robinson allegedly said he had fired a shot at the rear portion of the Jeep in Boster’s direction with the intent to hit Boster, and that it was not a warning shot. Robinson turned over his Taurus Protector Poly .357 magnum revolver, was arrested and brought to the Pine County Jail. Robinson was charged with four fel-

onies: one count of drive-by shooting, one charge of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, one charge of intentional discharge of a firearm that endangers safety, and one count of reckless discharge of a firearm within a municipality. Robinson’s criminal record shows he has no felony convictions. He was convicted of speeding in 2014 and 2011. In 2004, Robinson pled guilty to misdemeanor charges of DWI and collision with an unattended vehicle. ‘Glad nobody was hurt’ Sue Pogones, co-owner of the Rock Creek Pit Stop, said she and her employees did all they could to assist deputies in the investigation, and she was thankful the alleged shooter was found. She said her employees were very frightened at the time, but things at the Rock Creek Pit Stop are now back to normal. “I’m just glad nobody was hurt,” Pogones said. Boster arrested after chase On Aug. 31, officers from the Pine County Sheriff’s Office searched for Boster in connection to the shooting incident and received information that he was in the Grasston area. According the report, the officers knew that Boster had an active Department of Corrections felony warrant and may try to avoid being arrested. Two deputies saw the Jeep from the shooting incident traveling on Highway 107 with a male driver and female passenger. As they passed it, one officer was able to identify Boster as the driver. When the deputies turned around to get behind it, the Jeep passed a truck and sped up and away from officers. The Jeep made an abrupt right turn onto Paddle Road and then a hard left north on Auburn Road. Officers turned on their emergency lights but the Jeep continued at a high rate of speed without stopping. When the officers reached Hawk Ridge Road, they saw a lot of dust on the road, but not on Auburn, and were no longer able to see the Jeep. They attempted to locate him in the area but were not successful. On Sept. 1, Boster was located in Carlton County and arrested. According to the criminal complaint, he told officers he was scared and did not want to go back to jail. He did not deny fleeing the officers. He said he got rid of the Jeep afterwards because he knew deputies were searching for it. Officers also talked to the passenger, who admitted being with Boster when he fled. She told the officers that he knew he was being chased and “was freaking out and driving like mad.” Boster has previous convictions for theft, burglary, receiving stolen property, giving a peace officer a false name and drug possession. Boster was charged with felony fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle. The maximum fine for this charge is three years and one day, a $5,000 fine,

He told officers he was scared and did not want to go back to jail. He did not deny ﬂeeing officers.

Proposal: Revoke licenses for repeat drunken drivers BY TODD RICHMOND ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADISON— Wisconsin lawmakers will soon consider a bill that would strip repeat drunken drivers of their licenses for at least a decade. The Assembly passed the bill last session but it didn’t get a floor vote in the Senate. Some key things to know about the legislation: How serious a problem is repeat drunken driving in Wisconsin? Very serious. State Department of Transportation data shows that one-third of the state’s drunk-driving convictions in 2015 — the most recent data available — were repeat offenders. Put another way, the 221,576 repeat offenders were more than twice the population of Green Bay. About 52,000 convictions were for a third offense. Nearly 2,800 were for a seventh offense or more. Why is this such an issue in Wisconsin? Alcohol is ingrained in the state’s heritage and traditions. After all, Milwaukee’s major league baseball team is nicknamed the Brewers after that city’s brewing history. The state’s drunken driving laws are relatively lax; Wisconsin is the only state, for example, that treats a first offense as a traffic ticket rather than a criminal transgression. Efforts to toughen drunken driving laws have largely failed amid concerns about increasing court and incarceration costs and pushback from the powerful Tavern League of Wisconsin.

Can the state revoke drunken drivers’ licenses now? Yes, but only for limited periods that generally range from several months to three years. What would the bill do? The DOT would be required to permanently revoke the license of anyone caught driving drunk four or more times. The agency also would have to permanently revoke the license of anyone who is convicted of two or more serious crimes involving a vehicle. People who lose their license would have to wait 10 years before they could apply for a new one. What happened to last session’s bill? The last bill instituted permanent revocation at five or more offenses. No groups registered against it, the Wisconsin Tavern League supported it and the Assembly passed it on a voice vote, a procedure used for noncontroversial legislation. The Senate’s transportation committee passed the proposal but it never got a floor vote in that chamber. GOP Sen. Van Wanggaard, the bill’s chief Senate sponsor then, is trying again. What’s the argument for the bill? Wanggaard says the state has to do something to curb repeat drunken driving and he doesn’t know what else to try “short of locking them up and throwing the key away.” He says drunken drivers must face consequences for their actions because “it doesn’t take much and somebody’s dead.”

What are the bill’s prospects this time around? It’s up for a public hearing in the Senate judiciary committee on Tuesday. Wanggaard chairs that panel, and a hearing signals progress. The City of Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association and the Wisconsin Troopers Association all have registered in favor of the bill. No groups have registered against it. Tavern league lobbyist Scott Stenger said he hadn’t seen the bill but the league supports any legislation to curb repeat offenses. It’s unclear what Republican leaders in the Assembly and Senate think about it, though. Aides for Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, who could have brought last session’s bill to the floor but didn’t, and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos didn’t reply to email messages. What other ideas to combat drunken driving are out there? Sen. Alberta Darling and Rep. Jim Ott have introduced bills to create a five-year minimum prison sentence for homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle; raise the minimum incarceration period for fifth and sixth offenses from six months to 18 months; and prohibit all repeat offenders and first-timers with a blood-alcohol percentage of 0.15 or greater from driving without an ignition interlock device which prevents a car from starting if it detects a certain alcohol level in a driver. The interlock bill passed the Assembly in May. All three measures are up for a public hearing in Wanggaard’s judiciary committee on Tuesday as well.

Siren Chamber of Commerce welcomes Pendleton Pawn Pawn and gift shop chooses Siren for second location SIREN—On Aug. 31, the Siren Chamber of Commerce welcomed Pendleton Pawn & Gifts with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. In the early 90s, Ken Pendleton owned School House Antiques in Earl, Wis. Frequenting auctions, he met the “lady with the wiener wagon,”Debbie Standaert, who won his heart over with free hot dogs and her delicious baked goods offered in her concession stand that traveled with the auctioneer. They both decided they wanted a change. In 1997, Ken Pendleton and Debbie Standaert started Pendleton Pawn & General Store in a small building on a side street in Cumberland. Having clean, quality items and always-changing inventory made their store the must-stop shop in Cumberland, sometimes called the “Cumberland addiction.” The shop eventually moved across the street into Cumberland’s rutabaga warehouse which provided ample area to fulfill their ever-growing business of offering honest and quality items along with a storage facility and an auction area for live auctions. In 2010, they decided to semi-retire and sell the store. During this time they continued to work, participating in markets and auctions, but something was lacking. Ken started brainstorming options. In 2013, their son, Ryan Standaert, decided to “get off the road” and be with his family. He was a business owner for many years and at that time worked in marketing for a large international corporation, traveling all over the United States doing promotional events. He, too, was missing something in his life. They decided that with Ken’s lifetime experience in second-hand merchandise and pawn brokerage and Ryan’s vast background in retail, marketing and running successful business practices, they should team up and get the second wave of Pendleton Pawn back up and running. So, in 2015, they reopened Pendleton

Pawn on Main Street in Cumberland. After a year and feeling comfortable the store was “up on its feet,” they began to look for other opportunities to offer their honest quality services to the Wisconsin area. One day a call came into their office about a pawn and gift shop closing in Siren. After visiting the store site, it seemed almost perfect. With an easy transition into the building, on June 1 Pendleton Pawn & Gift opened in the Siren Outpost Mall. Ryan Standaert says, “The best thing with Pendleton Pawn is that we will always take pride in our stores. We are known as the cleanest pawn shops you will ever visit - having the best variety and something for everyone.” Pendleton Pawn sells general merchandise, jewelry, coins, gold, silver, sporting equipment, firearms, electronics and musical instruments. Pendleton Pawn offers estate buying services, too. “We will come to your location [even Chicago] and offer you options to sell your items, or your loved ones’ items that are no longer needed, to receive the highest benefit.” Pendleton Pawn also has an auction service, bidbidauctions.com, where they provide both live and online auctions. “The entire Pendleton Pawn team loves to work hard and take care of their customers. If you have never been to a Pendleton Pawn, you may want to make that your next stop when looking for...well anything.” Visit Pendleton Pawn & Gifts at 24516 State Road 35/70 in Siren’s Outpost Mall open Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Main Street in Cumberland, Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Contact them at 715-349-4868 (Siren) and 715-671-0350 (Cumberland), and ‘like’ them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ pendletonpawn/ for specials, fun giveaways and first look at new products.
