Two Pirates accept Badger offers summer after he and his brother John attended multiple camps including a combine held in Sussex, Wis. where both Chenals recorded top results. Conversations and letters expressing interest were sent his way and eventually the University of Wisconsin (UW) offered the young star and his family free tickets to home games. With the Pirate season in full swing, travel time was hard to come by until this past weekend when the boys in purple had a Friday night off. The news of his scholarship was fresh to Chenal; however, some family members and friends knew days before the game and had to keep the secret. “After the Webster game (Sept. 1), Pirate Head Coach Adam Hale asked me if I could keep a secret. He had a big smile on his face,” said Chenal’s mother, Brenda. So she did, from her son at least. “I thought it was a normal game. We just jumped on the

Leo Chenal

GRANTSBURG— Sixteen-yearold Leo Chenal traveled down to Madison with friends and family this past weekend to watch the Badgers take on the Owls of Florida Atlantic University. While a decisive 31-14 Badger victory bettered the weekend for most of those in attendance, Chenal received another dose of good news— a full-ride scholarship. Chenal is only a junior at Grantsburg High School but at 6-feet-2 and weighing a muscular 220, this young, inside linebacker grabbed the attention of the Badgers early and became the first recruit to verbally commit for the 2019 red and white squad. So far this season, Chenal has accumulated 26 total tackles and 220 rushing yards, averaging 9.2 yards per carry. The Badgers have had their eyes on Chenal since this past

opportunity to take the tickets. And other people (friends and family) started jumping in, and I figured it was a fun Badger game to go to. I didn’t expect anything,” said Chenal. This was his first trip to Camp Randall to see the Badgers play. He was stoked, to say the least. After arriving he and his family were directed towards a tent with other recruits, Chenal did not expect this either. Kickoff was a few hours away and the group of young footballers played audience to alumni players, highlight videos, and were even taken on the field to meet the current players and coaches. In the midst of all this, Special Teams Coach Chris Haering took Chenal aside. “He put his elbow on the table and said they have been following me closely, and they’ve been watching film and like what they see,” said Chenal.

Editor’s Note: September is National Preparedness Month and Burnett County Emergency Management is partnering with the Burnett County Sentinel and Fourwinds Market to help you and your family prepare for any emergencies that might impact Burnett County. In previous weeks, discussions were suggested for making an emergency plan for your family and then expanding that plan to include neighbors and your community. This week, Sept. 15-21, your family discussion should focus on preparing for an emergency by putting together an Emergency Cache of food and water for your family so they can be self-sufficient during the first week of an emergency.

Expand and practice your plans JIM TOLBERT BURNETT COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR

Since the greatest risks to Burnett County are tornadoes, wildfires, storms and technological failure of the power grid, loss of power may be the biggest challenge facing your family during an emergency. With that in mind, topics for your family discussion could include: What means of food preparation are available? What types of foods do family members like and not like? Would you have water available if power is lost? How much food and water will your family need for three to five days? As previously stated, the goal of these discussions is not to scare your family but rather to alleviate fear and panic by discussing and planning what to do in the event of an emergency. In your discussion, consider what you typically have on-hand in your pantry, refrigerator and freezer. For the first couple of days, if you can manage refrigerator and freezer access, you can probably feed your family safely with this food. With this information in mind, decide how much shelf stable food your Emergency Food Cache should contain. Food preparation is also an important

consideration. Loss of power means microwave ovens, stove tops, ovens, etc. will not be functioning. Many people have camp stoves, gas or charcoal grills that can be used to cook meals – just keep in mind these must be used out of doors because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Reflector or solar ovens are also available. If you have a backup generator, make sure everyone knows how to use it. To help you get started on your Emergency Food Cache, Fourwinds Market in Siren is hosting an event this week Friday, Sept. 15 through Thursday, Sept. 21. Sample menus, suggested shelf stable food items and FEMA, Red Cross, and DNR pamphlets will be on display. As an incentive, the first 60 families who purchase three to five days of shelf stable emergency meals will receive a specially labeled 50 qt. plastic storage tote, provided by Polk-Burnett Operation Round-Up, to keep the food safe and available. Also, everyone participating in the event can enter a drawing for one of 12 LifeStraw Family Water purification units to be given away, courtesy of the St. Croix Tribal Council, and a Family Emergency Kit, courtesy of Cory Arnold State Farm Insurance Agency. This week is a time for action. Practice your family plan, stop by Fourwinds Market and get your Emergency Food Cache ready.

Webb Lake Community Club makes a big donation WEBB LAKE—The Webb Lake Community Club has made a major donation of $10,000 to the A&H Ambulance Garage Fund. It moves the fund significantly closer to its $100,000+ goal. Ladies from the Webb Lake Community Club met Roger Larson and Mick Peterson, the chief fundraisers from the Ambulance Garage Fund Committee, to

make the contribution from the club at the construction site. A spokesperson for the Webb Lake Community Club said, “We would like to shout out a big thank you to everyone in the area who had a part in making this recent sale so successful. “ Your efforts made this donation possible. “Perhaps you donated items or, on sale day, you purchased a food item

or a raffle ticket. Maybe you were a member of the color guard who raised the flag. “Maybe you were one of the many workers who spent hours getting items ready for the sale. And, of course, we also thank the devoted shoppers who braved the rain that did not discourage anyone. We all worked together to make this a success for our community.”

SEPTEMBER 13, 2017

Just let it happen So, let me tell you. I was walking in Siren and heading back to my house. As I’m walking in my front door, the cover of an early summer New Yorker pops into my head. The cover is predominately black, red and purple, and there is a silhouette of a woman reading by phone light in a blue tent. The artist uses red for leaves. Now (as you can see on page 2), I like autumn. Yes, pumpkin flavored everything, and I take long walks in the woods to witness the abundance of colors—every year seems anew. I believe it was the leaves that made the cover surface in my mind. At first I thought, Huh, that’s strange. Then I carried on, made some dinner and pondered on what to do before zonking out for the night. The cover concreted itself, so I found the magazine in the stack Sentinel on my coffee table and considered it for a few moments. Satisfied, I Editor began to page through. Sean Devlin Politics, cartoons, theater reviews (of shows I’ve never seen...), Op-eds, fiction, poems. I got lost in the evening. Hours later I had three magazines at the feet of the table, two books of short stories and a novel in my hands. (I read bits of each. I’m not that fast...) New York, Washington, an abandoned church, Eastern Europe, Ireland, a ranch in Alberta, and a made up town called Little Wing near Eau Claire. My legs were asleep and the clock read 1:39 a.m. Rue (my cat) was passed out with her purple toymouse upside down by her head on the other half of the couch. My mind was sleepy and if it could smile, it was. A random thought captured me that evening, one that I would usually (many of us would) shrug off. I made a note of this before bed, an actual note I read to myself each day, it says, “Don’t ignore those thoughts.” I traveled the world that evening. A plane ticket became as insignificant as currency for a country that no longer exists. Most importantly, the stress of a normal day was obliterated by a whimsical thought and the company of stories, worlds from others thought lovely enough to share. If this were considered an advice column, I’d say next time you have a thought like this, a quick, seemingly random memory, hold onto it and listen to what it has to tell you. You may find yourself living the life a young, poor Limerick man who manages to acquire a ticket to cross the Atlantic and start a new life in New York. Maybe you stole that money from a dying woman, who knows. Now, my problem is that I wait in excitement for these moments, but I feel I need to occupy my time in order for the element of surprise to do it’s diligence. Well, you know...editor@burnettcountysentinel. com, 715-833-7173. Chat soon.

Redemption every Sunday It’s football season once again, time to bring out your team colors and root for your favorite team. The high school squads have been playing games for over a month, colleges a few weeks and the National Football League (NFL) has a week under its belt. Football is a primal, tribal sport, one that fans invest their loyalties, hopes and dreams as well as a great deal of time, energy and money. When our team wins, life is good. When they lose, we have a week of misery, hoping for redemption in the coming weekend. Psychiatrists report that sports fan From the Publisher’s depression is a real thing.

H ll my name is Tom and I’m a Miami Dolphins Hello, fan. My team didn’t get to play last week because of a hurricane. Perhaps God is trying to tell me something. Oh, it hasn’t always been bad. It was a smart thing to do when I was nine years old, right after the Chiefs beat the Vikings in Super Bowl IV. I decided that I needed a new team, despite the rest of my family remaining staunch Vikings fans. The first year, my team made it to the Super Bowl, losing to the Cowboys. The next year was the “Perfect” Season as the Dolphins won every game, including the Super Bowl. 1973 was even better when the Dolphins beat the Vikings in the Super Bowl. Since then, I’ve been wandering in the desert. The Dolphins made two appearances in the Super Bowl in the 1980s, losing both times, but since then it’s been a great accomplishment to even make the playoffs.

I was speaking with a friend who is a Vikings fan last week about how we can continue to support our teams, year after year. At this time of year, anything is possible. Every team is a champion when the season begins. It’s kind of like the reoccurring theme in the Peanuts comics strips when Lucy holds the football so Charlie Brown can kick the ball. Every time, Lucy assures Charlie Brown that she will hold the ball in place so he can kick it a long way. Every time, Charlie Brown rushes towards the football, sure that he will kick it high and far. And every time — at the very last second — Lucy pulls the football away causing Charlie Brown, fully committed to the kick with every fiber of his being, to fall on his back in failure. Lucy has many different reasons for pulling the ball, and her dissertations are usually the punchlines of the strip. One of my favorites: “How long [will you fail at this]? ALL YOUR LIFE, Charlie Brown, all your life!” Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts, was from St. Paul. Do you suppose he was sending not so subtle messages to all football fans? Perhaps football fans can take solace from baseball. The Chicago White Sox, the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs are all teams that finally won championships after generational droughts. Keeping the faith may be painful, but in the end, we will be rewarded. Even Charlie Brown kicked the football once or twice. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

Nine Presidents LEE H. HAMILTON

Editor’s note: Lee Herbert Hamilton is a former member of the United States House of Representatives and currently a member of the U.S. Homeland Security Advisory One reason I consider myself fortunate to have led a life in politics is that, over time, I’ve had a chance to work with nine presidents. From Lyndon Johnson through Barack Obama, I’ve talked policy, politics and, sometimes, the trivial details of daily life with them. I met JFK twice for brief conversations. I don’t know our current President, but I’ve gained valuable perspective from his predecessors. Johnson was a deal-maker — always trying to figure out how to get your vote. He came into office with a clear vision of what he wanted to do, and on the domestic side notched accomplishments unmatched in recent decades. Yet, he was brought down by the Vietnam War — a war he could neither win nor quit. Richard Nixon, one of the more complex personalities to inhabit the office, often spoke to me about his mother and her home in Indiana. Highly intelligent, brimming with energy, extremely ambitious, he was also uneasy in social settings and could be vindictive. He focused intently on policy, especially foreign policy — and yet had a flawed moral compass. Few people were nicer in politics than Gerald Ford. His great contribution was to help the country heal after Watergate and Nixon’s resignation. His was not an especially productive presidency, but that wasn’t what the country wanted. Instead,

people wanted the stability and reassurance that Ford provided in turbulent times. Jimmy Carter was a marvelous, down-to-earth campaigner, whose engineer’s mind led him to seek comprehensive solutions to the problems of the day. But, his outsider approach led to difficulties, even with a Democratic Congress. Carter served in extraordinarily complex times — through the Iran hostage crisis and rampaging inflation. Yet no American soldier died in combat while he was in office, a remarkable achievement, and Carter has set the gold standard for the post-presidency. Ronald Reagan’s sunny optimism contrasted sharply with Carter’s “malaise.” Reagan may be identified as the great conservative ideologue, but he was pragmatic. He talked about government being the problem — but signed the appropriations bills that came to his desk. He denounced Medicare — but made no effort to repeal it. He reduced some taxes — then supported a large tax hike. His chief interest was not so much policy, but how to use his acting skills to communicate to the American people. George H.W. Bush came from the aristocracy, yet devoted his life to public service with decency, honor, and modesty. He deserves praise for his skill in handling the transition from the Cold War, yet he had modest legislative accomplishments. During Bush’s presidency, Newt Gingrich — who criticized Bush for his bipartisan attitude — ushered in the mean-spirited, confrontational political warfare that still bedevils us. Bill Clinton arrived as Pres-

ident facing high expectations because of his mastery of policy detail and superb political skills. But, he couldn’t get his major healthcare bill through, and the Monica Lewinsky scandal and his impeachment took a toll on the country. I often wonder how much more could have been accomplished had he not been distracted by personal problems. George W. Bush was affable and likable. He was not a detail man, but right after the 9/11 attacks he effectively led the country in response. The course of his presidency, however, was downhill: he came into office with a strong budget surplus and the nation at peace; when he left we were at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, were running large budget deficits, and the economy was plunging into the Great Recession. Barack Obama was deliberative, rational, smart, and took a conciliatory, compromise-ready approach. He learned quickly and mastered complex issues. He inherited a tough economy and got it moving again. But he changed in the face of implacable Republican opposition and his own reluctance to engage fully with Congress, arriving with great optimism and expansive goals and leaving with a far shorter, more incremental horizon. These men were not demigods. Presidents are human, with qualities both fine and troubling. Each was different, and at least one tested our democracy. Yet our system of government showed considerable resilience — in part because Congress often played a crucial role as counterbalance, a role much needed with our current president.

Harvey shocks the gas pumps BURNETT COUNTY—The worst of Hurricane Harvey is gone, but his malice lingers quietly in the form of high gas prices across the country. The reason for the hikes can be attributed to Harvey as many Texas refineries were flooded, and more than a dozen were shut down which, according to GasBuddy.com, closed over a quarter of the country’s refining capacity. An article on the above site states, “Average gasoline prices across all fifty states increased in the last week as the national average jumped 25 cents to $2.64 per gallon in the biggest weekly rise since 2005 when the effects of Hurricane Katrina led prices to soar 49 cents in a week.” The national average peaked Sept. 7 at $2.67

per gallon. During the final days of Harvey and the few following, the average price per gallon in Wisconsin came in at $2.529, which is a 17.6 cent increase from the overall August average of $2.347. Burnett County’s average price per gallon (as of Sept. 11) sits just above the current state average at $2.599. “Until Texas can recover from Harvey, gasoline prices will likely continue to remain elevated. The situation is beginning to look up with many refineries either back online or in the process of coming back online resulting in gasoline production ramping back up,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.

Wow!

Where we stand: Foreign Relations We the people, believe in our sovereignty, given to us by our Creator. That also applies to all other nations. Stop trying to control other nations by picking winners and losers. Our USA history is disgraceful. All nations have the right to self-determination as we do. Is Democracy a solution for all? The last war we won was WWII. Korea was a stalemate, Vietnam was a stalemate, Afghanistan and Iraq? All stalemates. Why? American lives lost Korea 36,516 killed, 92,134 wounded. Vietnam 58,209 killed, 153,363 wounded. Iraq 3,836 Killed, 32,222 wounded. Afghanistan 1,954 killed, 18,675 wounded. To get at stalemates or peace we will have to partner with China or Russia. Why are we always taking the lead? Why not the United Nations? Isn’t this their role in our world? North Korea Kim Jong-Un views nuclear weapons as a way to escape the fate of Saddam and Gadhafi. We in Rural Street America no longer support the notion “We must have one Korea.” Nations are dividing, not combining. We respect their sovereignty and we hope they will find peace with all other nations. We need to start reducing our USA military presence as a show of good will, and we need to start fair trading with them. We must partner with China, Russia and North Korea who are area stake holders. Afghanistan Here we go again. Are we really the largest stakeholder? Why not have Pakistan lead the way to the solution since they are a good neighbor to them? No President gets that the financial drain on us keeps us in greater debt instead of rebuilding our

infrastructure. We need to partner with Pakistan, India and Russia. They are the area stakeholders. Syria, Iraq, and Iran Hey Arab League, you are the largest stakeholder. This is your area, so solve it for a peaceful solution. We will help supply air and sea support if needed, but only to you. You must supply all land forces. America has lost more than enough lives in this area. United Nations; what is your role? Russia As Teddy Roosevelt said, “Walk softly and carry a big stick.” Sanctions work and hurt for all bad behaving nations. We need to hold our friends close and our enemies, closer. They need to be a partner, not an enemy. China President Xi said, “The Chinese people love peace. We will never seek aggression or expansion, but we have the confidence to defeat all invasions. We will never allow any people, organization or political party to split any part of Chinese territory from the country at any time, in any form. No one should expect us to swallow bitter fruit that is harmful to our sovereignty, security or development interests.” You could search-andreplace “Chinese” with “American.” Hey Russia, take notice. And the American rural people said “Amen!”

Reduce American presence Start reducing all American government presence in all nations. Shift focus to fair trade with all nations without conditions on their governments. Still use sanctions for bad behavior. Rebuild the USA Yes, we need a pause to start rebuilding the USA by boot-strapping up the lower class and moving the middle class upward. Wisconsin’s middle-class average is $35,000 to 100,000 per year. Where is the plan and the results? Hey Congress, our patience is wearing out. Do what you are paid to do, or resign.

Man ejected from car, airlifted to Minn. hospital TOWN OF LA FOLLETTE— A one-car rollover in Hertel caused a full shut-down of a section of Highway 70 near Fosmo Drive at 4:02 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 3. Steven M. Gillis, 37, Webster, was traveling eastbound and while negotiating a curve shortly past Fosmo Drive, drifted onto the right shoulder. The state pa-

trol report states Gillis over-corrected and slid across the center line and onto the left shoulder where the car then rolled three times away from the road. Gillis was ejected through the front passenger window. Gillis is suspected to have sustained serious injury and was transported by EMS air to a

GOVERNMENT CENTER— A five-day trial will begin in Burnett County on Feb. 12 in the case concerning David J. R. Ohnstad, 23, of Cushing who faces multiple felony charges of first degree sexual assault with a child under the age of 13. This decision was made on Wed. Sept. 6 in Burnett County Circuit Court. Police reports state that the charges against Ohnstad surfaced in 2013 after the alleged victim suffered a drug overdose and reported to Burnett County officials she had been sexually abused by Ohnstad on multiple occasions when she was in elementary school. According to those same records, the allegations span from 2009 to 2012 and occurred at locations in both Burnett and Polk Counties. Officials believe the victim was nine years old when the first incident occurred. Ohnstad is approximately six years

Lake water equipment storage tips to avoid invasive species BURNETT COUNTY—Summer is winding down and soon lakeshore owners will be pulling boats, docks, swimming rafts and water irrigation pipes out of the water. Last October, a landowner removing his dock found zebra mussels in Big McKenzie Lake. Last month, one zebra mussel was found on Middle McKenzie, but it has no confirmed population at this point. These findings initiate the continued importance of looking for aquatic invasive species. Take these steps when removing equipment from the water for

winter storage: • Inspect and remove any plants, mud or other debris found on equipment. Check dock posts, underwater support bars, wheels, boats, pontoons and jet skis that have been sitting in water for a long period of time. Zebra mussels will feel like gritty sandpaper. • Drain all water from equipment and/or keep out to dry for up to five days. • Run water pumps and start motors out of water to flush remaining water out of the cooling system.

• Spray down your equipment with a bleach/water solution. One tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water. Letting it air dry is recommended to kill unseen hitchhikers. • If you find something suspicious, take a picture, bag it and contact Burnett County Conservationist Dave Ferris at 715-3492186, or call Washburn County Conservation Coordinator Lisa Burns at 715-468-4654. Lake service providers have also been provided information on the proper steps to take.

older than the victim. Ohnstad faces a total of eight charges, three in Polk and five in Burnett. Last week, the court decided to consolidate the cases and the defendant will be tried for all charges in the same trial in February in Burnett County. Each charge carries the weight of a maximum of 60 years in prison. The criminal complaint suggests Ohnstad utilized time spent between the two families to touch the victim inappropriately. The complaint states the victim told officials the defendant attempted to make her believe “this is the relationship that families have and that it was the way it was supposed to be.” According to the records, the last alleged assault happened in 2012 when the victim was 12 and better able to defend herself against Ohnstad’s alleged actions. The jury trial is set to begin at 8:30 a.m., Feb. 12, 2018 in Burnett County Circuit Court.

direct Peterson to remotely erase his phone.” The complaint continues, “The call confirmed that Bambery told Peterson the police had seized his phone and that there was information on it that would be bad for him if it fell into the wrong hands.” Law enforcement stated the step-by-step instructions given to Peterson by Bambery were meant to guide her through a process by which to erase the contents by accessing a particular website designed for this purpose. The complaint states, “Peterson tried numerous times by numerous methods.” It continues to state that due to the phone being in a faraday bag, these attempts were rendered useless. Peterson arrived at the Burnett County Jail at 10:45 a.m. June 29 to bail her grandson out of jail. There, she was met by law enforcement and placed under arrest for “attempting to destroy evidence in a criminal investigation.” She then explained she should have known it was wrong and admitted to attempting to remotely wipe all the contents off of Bambery’s phone. Peterson was provided a voluntary statement then booked and released on the charge. Matthew Bambery’s preliminary hearing is set for 3:45 p.m. September 25.

WOOD RIVER— A Webster man faces two felony charges after the alleged theft of a camper from Camper Corral in Siren. Matthew R. Bambery, 27, Webster is charged with one count of theft of movable property (>$10,000), and threat to a law enforcement officer. The first count holds a penalty of up to a $25,000 fine, up to 10 years in prison or both. The second holds a possible $10,000 fine, up to six years in prison, or both A Burnett County police report states that officers were dispatched to a home in the Township of Meenon on June 21 and the homeowners stated their camper - valued at $19,211.05 - was stolen the night before. Law enforcement officials reviewed footage from Camper Corral and observed a pickup truck leaving the park with a trailer matching the description given by the Meenon couple. A Burnett County detective received information the following day that the camper was located at a residence in Wood River Township. Officers dispatched to the location and located the camper on the property with two small dogs inside; the collar tags read Bambery. A male exited the house on the property and informed officials that a friend of his asked if Bam-

bery could park his camper on the property. The report claims Bambery told his friend he bought the camper recently from a female. The homeowner complied but then stated he noticed “information on the internet about the theft of a similar camper from Siren.” The complaint reads, “the [homeowner] suspected the camper on his property was the same camper that was stolen from Siren.” Directly following this comment, law enforcement noticed Bambery and another individual walking close to the camper; Bambery had one of the small dogs in his arms. According to the complaint, when directed to put his hands in the air, Bambery did not comply. Instead, the complaints states Bambery shouted and threatened the officers. He was eventually arrested and taken to the Burnett County Jail. He is currently out of jail on a signature bond of $ 2,500. Bambery is to have no use or possession of illegal drugs, substances, paraphernalia and have no contact with Camper Corral or the Wood River residence. However, before being released form jail, law enforcement received information about a phone call between Bambery and his grandmother, Cynthia Peterson, 76, of Siren during which the defendant allegedly “attempted, numerous times, to advise and

Can the state hear Northwest Wisconsin? SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER— Sheriff Ron Wilhelm addressed the Public Safety board last week and detailed a late August trip he and five other northwest Wisconsin sheriffs took to Wausau to partake in a drug round table discussion with Senator Sean Duffy, Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, and others. Wilhelm explained that Duffy was primarily concerned with “what is happening in northwest Wisconsin.” The sheriffs collectively explained the methamphetamine (and opiate) issue plaguing this region and Wilhelm believes, “We got their ear on the subject. And, it is my hope they will bring the message back to Washington.” He prefaced the conversation by stating the local jail is “always full” and pointed out that the abundance of methamphetamine is a major player in that. Wilhelm was asked if Burnett County has employed a special drug enforcement officer to which he replied, “all of our deputies are drug enforcement officers,” hinting that due to a lack of funding, all deputies must absorb more than their fair share of duties. “It would be a strong plus to have one, but we don’t have that,” he added. The Sheriff provided Duffy and other State officials with several police reports regarding meth arrests in the county. Burnett County social workers informed Wilhelm that seven children in Burnett County were removed from homes two weeks ago. The reason was meth. Public Safety Committee Chair Gerald Pardun asked the Sheriff, “In your opinion, with the limited funds we have, what would be the correct approach to do something about our problem as it now exists? Would it be youth educa-

tion?” The Sheriff responded, “Absolutely.” However, the debate remains, how young do we start? In many schools across the country, drug education begins around the fifth grade. The Sheriff is arguing to begin sooner. “Let’s take the dollars and put them into the schools. Many times, fifth graders have already been introduced to this stuff. We have pre-K kids that can identify bowls and needles their parents are using. I’m talking about children,” said Wilhelm passionately. In the August Burnett County board meeting, the Health and Human Services committee requested a $200,000 budget increase. The reason for the request is due to the high rate of out-ofhome placement for children with drug abusing parents. High cost of childcare While the August number is not known yet, in July alone, 37 Burnett County children were recorded as living out of home with relatives or in foster care. On many occasions, children end up in treatment foster care because needs are excessive. Treatment foster care can cost the county upwards of $2,000 a month per child. “It was a good two hours spent in Wausau,” said the Sheriff as he explained he feels the State and Federal governments are listening to the cries of northwest Wisconsin. According to the Sheriff, Schimel presented a power-point detailing the burden of methamphetamine in the northern regions of the state. “I feel we’ve made end roads in Madison, with our attorney general,” said Wilhelm. Other Public Safety News In his monthly report to the

Burnett County Public Safety Committee, District Attorney Bill Norine explained that while the case load is high, “we are keeping up.” In the first six months of 2017, approximately 750 criminal cases were filed in the county. And, as reported previously, these numbers do not reflect the number of prosecutions; however, they represent the caseload Norine and “quarter-time” assistant District Attorney Dan Steffen are dealing with. “We are plugging along,” added Norine. The status of Senator Sheila Harsdorf’s bill for 18 counties - Burnett included - to hire a fulltime assistant district attorney is unknown. If passed, Norine will have complete authority to hire for the position in January of 2019. Clerk of Courts Burnett County is the last of the 72 Wisconsin counties to transition to mandatory eFiling in the circuit court. By Oct. 16, Burnett will require all cases to be filed electronically with the hopes of efficiency in the clerk of courts office and the courtroom itself. In a State Bar of Wisconsin article, Mary Lou Mueller, Ozaukee County clerk of circuit court and register in probate, is quoted as saying, “E-filing has produced dramatic work-flow and case management improvements that have decreased the opportunity for human error in the clerk’s office.” Ozaukee County volunteered to serve as the pilot for voluntary probate e-filing. Burnett County Clerk of Court Trudy Schmidt stated her office is currently preparing the criminal cases that will be in court on Oct. 16 and beyond, stating that eFiling will hopefully make the cases move more efficiently through the court system.

Contact Equifax to protect your credit records MADISON – Equifax, one of the nation’s three major credit reporting agencies, reported a data breach yesterday that may affect as many as 143 million Americans – nearly 44 percent of the United States population. Equifax has set up a website (www.equifaxsecurity2017.com) that allows consumers to check if their information may have been exposed in the breach. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) advises all affected Wisconsin consumers to take additional steps to protect their credit record. According to Equifax, hackers gained access to certain files between mid-May and late July of this year. Information in the breach includes consumers’ names, Social Security numbers, birth dates and addresses. Some consumers’ credit card numbers, driver’s license numbers and dispute documents (that contain personally identifying information) were also accessed.

If you believe you may have been affected by this data breach, take these next steps: • Download a copy of the DATCP fact sheet “Data Breach: What to do if it happens to you.” • Consider placing a free 90-day (renewable) fraud alert on your credit reports by contacting one of the three major credit reporting bureaus: Experian (888-397-3742), TransUnion (800-6807289), or Equifax (888766-0008). When you place a fraud alert with one bureau, that bureau will relay the request to the other two companies on your behalf. A fraud alert warns creditors that you may be an identity theft victim and that they should verify that anyone seeking credit in your name is actually you. • For an even higher level of protection, you may wish to place a security freeze on your credit reports. A freeze bars access to your reports to almost anyone without your express permission. Additional information about freezes is available in DATCP’s credit report security freeze fact sheet. • Request a free credit report from the three credit bureaus by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com or calling (877) 322-8228. Check your report for irregularities. • If you have additional questions about identity theft or wish to file an identity theft complaint with DATCP, visit datcp. wi.gov or contact the Bureau of Consumer Protection by phone at (800) 422-7128 or by email:DATCPWisconsinPrivacy@wi.gov.

BADGERS: Chenal brothers accept offers to play football for Wisconsin

SUBMITTED

Leo Chenal (right) with older brother John. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

After Haering pointed out Chenal’s prowess on the field, the way he throws his body around and plays side-to-side, he told the young player that UW would love to offer him a scholarship. John Chenal The same day, older brother John Chenal was offered a preferred walkon spot for next season. J. Chenal got

involved in the recruitment process around the same time as his younger brother; so, at that point, the Badgers had their 2018 class set. However, with his dominant numbers so far this year, UW decided to offer him the walk-on position. Weeks before the Badgers knocked, the University of North Dakota offered Chenal a spot on next year’s Fighting Hawk’s squad. So, Chenal was forced to decide his fate.

The long journey ahead BY: TESSA ANDERSON DRUG COURT COORDINATOR/IDIP COORDINATOR

National Recovery Month is held every September to educate people that substance use treatment and mental health services can help those with substance abuse and/or mental health disorders to live healthy and rewarding lives. It helps reinforce the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective and, most importantly, people can and do recover. Recovery Month provides a spotlight for the lives that have been transformed through recovery. It is a time for those in recovery to share their successes and tell their story to help increase awareness so others can have a better understanding about the disease of mental health and substance use disorders. It is important for those in recovery or seeking help for the first time to understand that addiction is a disease, not a person lacking willpower. Addiction cannot be cured, but it can be managed. Here are some tips and reminders for a successful recovery: • Ask for help! • Take it one day at a time; recovery is a process not a destination. • Surround yourself with positive places, people, things and experiences. • Mistakes and failures happen. • Attend self-help meetings for support. • Celebrate big and small milestones. • Never give up! It’s important to appreciate yourself every day and recognize all your successes and accomplishments. Even the most frustrating day deserves to be acknowledged because you made it through the day and are much better equipped to face tomorrow. Remember, recovery isn’t a race. It is a lifelong journey. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

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

Our featured pet this week is a beautiful and sweet black lab we call Missy. This gal arrived at the shelter as a stray. Sadly, she was never reclaimed by her owner so she would really love a permanent home and a family to love. You can see by the smile on Missy’s face that she is a happy-go-lucky dog and at times has selective attention. Missy seems to be fine with other dogs as well as cats and I’m told she has a “strong interest” in the neighbor’s chickens. She loves to play Missy fetch, and if she had her way, it would go on forever. Anyone out there who can provide a stable and loving home for Missy, please come and meet her. She’s pretty hard to resist. Wow, we have had a busy couple of days at the shelter with five new stray dogs arriving. On Sept. 4, an absolutely adorable black and tan sevenmonth-old female hound was found on Deer Lake Road near County H in Danbury. Another four strays were brought in on Sept. 6. Three are bulldogs brought in by a county parks employee. They were found at the Hwy 70 wayside near the St. Croix River west of Grantsburg. All are friendly! Last but not least, a sweet female black lab was found on County Rd C near Bushey Rd in Oakland Township. All are safe and are being cared for. If you know anyone missing their dog, please have them contact the shelter. We hold strays for seven days to give the owner an opportunity to reclaim their pet. If they are not claimed, they become available for adoption. The cute kitten “Evi” we featured last week is still waiting to be noticed, and three new kittens – all black and white – are now ready for adoption. Two are girls named Aries and Gemini, and a boy named Aquarius. Dogs Marvel, Boris and Ariel are waiting as well. If you are out shopping anytime, we could sure use clumping and non-clumping litter as well as bleach and laundry detergent. Quote: Angels walk among us. Sometimes they are unseen and have wings, and sometimes they pant and lick our faces. Have a great week and remember “Adopt, Don’t Shop.”

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

Preliminary county deer population comment period DNR NEWS RELEASE

MADISON—Early in September, County Deer Advisory Councils will provide preliminary recommendations on county deer population objectives for the next three years and potential changes to Deer Management Unit (DMU) boundaries for online public review and comment. The online public comment period regarding these recommendations will begin on Sept. 11 and run through Sept. 22, 2017. Preliminary deer population objective recommendations received from the councils will be to increase, decrease or maintain the size of the local herd over the next three years. Changes to DMU boundaries will influence the area where antlerless tags may be

used within the county and season structure options in those areas. Final recommendations will go into effect in 2018 and will guide annual antlerless quota recommendations for the next three years. “Councils will be reviewing deer herd metrics, talking to stakeholders and listening to public comments and concerns when developing their preliminary recommendations,” said Kevin Wallenfang, deer and elk ecologist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. “We want to make sure anyone with an interest in deer management has an opportunity to provide input on these important decisions before the final recommendations are made.” Preliminary population objectives and DMU boundary recom-

Waterfowl hunters can help stop spread of aquatic invasive species MADISON—As Wisconsin’s goose and duck seasons get underway, the Department of Natural Resources is asking for help from the state’s dedicated hunters to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. “Healthy wetlands and waterways support strong waterfowl populations,” said Paul Samerdyke, a DNR wildlife biologist stationed at the Horicon Marsh. “We know that Wisconsin waterfowl hunters are committed to conservation, and they’ve been solid partners in restoring and improving wetland habitats.” As part of this effort, DNR staff and conservation partners will be in the field on opening day in both the northern and southern hunting zones visiting with hunters and talking about steps everyone can take to protect waterfowl populations and the habitats they depend on. A key part of the message: “Just a few minutes of preventative action can protect your hunting tradition for generations to come.” In addition to standard boating gear, waterfowl hunters often use decoys, dogs, waders and push poles that may contain water, debris and mud where invasive species such as zebra mussels, faucet snails and starry stonewort can hide. Use of nonnative vegetation such as phragmites to help conceal blinds or boats can also lead to the inadvertent spread of species that clog waterways and crowd out beneficial plants that provide food and shelter for ducks and geese. Other types of aquatic invasive species may serve

as hosts for parasites or bacteria that can kill waterfowl. As a result, DNR urges hunters to clean equipment as well as boats and check dogs’ coats before leaving a hunting location. To help share the message and provide tips for cleanup, DNR staff and partners will visit with hunters at key locations. On Sept. 23, opening day for the Northern Zone, teams will be in Mead Wildlife Area. To help protect waterfowl habitat and populations, hunters must take these simple steps before launching into and leaving a waterbody: Inspect waders, boats, trailers, motors and hunting equipment, including boots, blinds and dogs. Remove all plants, animals and mud. Drain all water from decoys, boats, motors, livewells and other hunting equipment. Never move plants or live fish away from a water body.

INSURANCE ADVICE

Life insurance seems to be a waste of money, doesn’t it? Most people live a long time.

I’ve heard that comment a few times. A Gary Nelson walk around a cemetery shows you that, no, not all people live to enjoy old age. None of us know when our time will come. Yes, many live to enjoy their golden years but none of us know if we’re going to be in that category. Life insurance is hugely important if you have a family with children at home, a mortgage, a debt load, or even if you wish to leave an estate for your heirs. Life insurance can be used to lessen federal and state “death taxes.” It not only can serve those needs but also can be used as a way to grow “cash value” – money for your use later on at some point when you no longer need a life insurance policy. Term insurance is cheap and no family should be without it. Talk to an agent to learn the differences and to find out what protects you and your family.

frequently. It is great practice to review your credit Stephanie Behling report annually at a minimum; either with your banker when you are requesting a loan, or on your own. Always look for discrepancies and ways to build a better credit score. You are entitled to one free annual credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit bureaus-Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. AnnualCreditReport.com, which was created by the three credit bureaus, is a centralized service for requesting your free annual credit reports. You can order all three credit reports at the same time, or order one now and others later. AnnualCreditReport.com enables you to request, view, and print your credit report in a secure Internet environment. Or you can have your report mailed to you.

Q. What Should I Consider In Fall

How does Workers’ Compensation work?

Home Maintenance?

Have your furnace inspected: It prevents winter breakdowns, improves heating costs & Jean Lundgren keeps in home air healthy. Check Airflow: Focus on air vents, range hoods, dryer vents, baseboard heaters & room fans. Dust buildup is a fire hazard, impedes airflow & create allergens. Clean gutters & downspouts: Clogged gutters/downspouts can cause roof & foundation leaks, water damage & a host of problems. Replace weather stripping on doors: It’s a simple low cost fix that keep energy costs down. Inspect your insulation: The most important area to check is your attic. Fill any noticeable gaps. Make sure detectors are working: Change batteries & test both smoke & carbon monoxide detectors prior to each heating season.

Q. I tend to always be running late for Tim Sempf, Erik Bergmanis, Jason Whitley

Workers’ Compensation covers both mental and physical injury from either accidents or occupational diseases. The Work Comp insurance carrier is required to pay your medical expenses and mileage related to your injury. During the time you are healing from your injury and off work, you will get two-thirds (2/3) of your weekly wage up to the maximum rate. After you have healed as much as possible from your injury, your medical provider will determine if you have any permanent disability. If you have a permanent disability, you will receive additional compensation. If your claim is denied, the insurer must inform you within seven (7) days of its decision and advise you of your rights to a hearing.

If it has been more than 6 months since your last cleaning, a professional cleaning in the dental office will rid the mouth of even more bacteria and can help control gum disease and the odors associated.

Mama can move around during labor and deliver the baby in any position she feels comfortable because her body is meant to. Medical-led birth is commonly treated as a medical procedure; Mama’s opinion about how she wants her birth to go is often disregarded because she is not the professional trained in birth and/ or it is not hospital policy.

Suicide takes tens of thousands of lives each year, and affects thousands more who are left behind. Oftentimes, the stigma surrounding suicide prevents people from talking about it and seeking the help they need to survive and recover. That’s why suicide prevention starts with each of us. Participating in awareness activities, volunteering or reaching out to somebody who you think may be depressed are all ways you can help during Suicide Prevention Week and every day.

Firearm self-exclusion program to prevent, reduce suicide in Wisconsin NEW LEGISLATION WOULD ALLOW PERSONS TO VOLUNTARILY PREVENT THEMSELVES FROM PURCHASING A HANDGUN

MADISON—In recognition of National Suicide Prevention Week, State Representative Melissa Sargent (D-Madison) announced new legislation aimed at preventing and reducing suicide in Wisconsin. LRB-3529 would create the Firearm Self-Exclusion Program, which would allow persons to voluntarily prohibit themselves from purchasing a handgun in Wisconsin. The bill is modeled after decades-old self-exclusion programs in other states, notably several other Midwestern states including Michigan, Illinois and Iowa, that have targeted problem gambling. “Suicide is such a taboo, highly-stigmatized subject in our society,” said Sargent, the lead author of LRB-3529. “Each and every one of us either has been affected ourselves or know someone who has been affected by a suicide loss, but we don’t often talk about those experiences or know how to get help when we need it. LRB-3529 provides an important step in preventing and reducing suicide by allowing people to take proactive steps to keep themselves safe when they’re in crisis.” LRB-3529 is modeled after self-exclusion programs to combat problem gambling, which allow persons to prohibit themselves from entering casinos or cashing in gambling winnings. The bill requires the Department of Justice to create and maintain a list of persons who want to voluntarily exclude themselves from being able to purchase

a handgun in Wisconsin. A person wanting to participate in the Firearm Self-Exclusion Program would simply have to fill out an application and would have the choice of selecting a one-year irrevocable term, or a five-year or twenty-year term with an irrevocable period during the first year. “Nearly half of the suicides that occur in Wisconsin involve firearms, so folks having the opportunity to voluntarily exclude themselves from future handgun purchases—especially if they are persons who have previously experienced suicidal ideations or tendencies—is a simple solution that will save lives,” Sargent said. “We’re not just raising awareness about suicide, we’re making it socially acceptable for people to take action to keep themselves safe. It’s a win-win.” The bill is co-authored by State Senator Latonya Johnson (D-Milwaukee), and is currently being circulated for co-sponsorship. The period for co-sponsorship ends on September 22. “This bill is commonsense, and I am hopeful it will have bipartisan support. We’re not taking away anyone’s guns, and we’re not putting anyone on the list involuntarily—it’s strictly about self-selecting into a program to help prevent and reduce firearm-involved suicides in Wisconsin, and that’s something I think everyone can get behind, regardless of the letter behind their name,” Sargent concluded.

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 come up short against Cards “We were trying a new lineup for the first time after two days of practice, and I think it will make us stronger in the long run, but we have some more growing to do,” Allaman-Johnson noted. “Although this is the most all-around skilled team I’ve coached with the fewest weak links, we are still looking for more players to step up and terminate.” After dropping the first set 17-25, the Pirates jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in the second set before Luck called a time-out. It seemed to work, as it was soon all tied up at eight each. The teams exchanged points back and forth before the Cards sealed the win, 25-19. Heading into the third set, the Pirates knew they needed to step it up a notch if they wanted get to five sets. After trading points, the Pirates found themselves down 20-23 with Luck looking to close the door on the evening. But the scrappy Pirates weren’t ready to go home and behind the tough serving of Jenna McNally, they rallied the next four points to take the win 25-23. Big hits by Kenna Johnson and Randi Siebenthal, and an ace serve by McNally on the final game point got the purple faithful charged up and ready for the fourth set.

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—Volleyball fans got their money’s worth on Thursday night as the Grantsburg Pirates and Luck Cardinals battled it out on the court in an exciting five set match-up. When the dust settled, the hometown girls came up just short, falling to their West Lakeland Conference rival 2-3. Scores were 17-25, 19-25, 25-23, 25-22 and 8-15. “Luck is a strong team and we could not stop the best player we’ve seen all season: Katie Mattson,” Pirates Coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. In recent years, Pirate volleyball fans have come to expect a tough battle when it comes time to play the Cardinals. Last season they shared the conference title with both Luck and St. Croix Falls, and those same three teams look to fight it out for the crown again. The Pirates had some uncharacteristic mistakes througout the night that cost them points, including several players called for being in the net as well as rotation errors. They started a different line-up this night, which could explain some of the confusion. But in tight games with good opponents, mistakes like this can be game-changers.

SIREN—On a perfect fall Friday night for football – 60 degrees and no wind at game time – the Siren Dragons struggled mightily against the state’s #1-ranked Luck Cardinals at Siren’s field. The 22-0 score in Luck’s favor doesn’t tell the whole story. A couple of plays with different outcomes might have made it a one-touchdown game and changed the momentum in Siren’s favor. With 1.2 seconds to go in the first half, Siren’s QB Jordan Webster threw a long, high pass that was pulled down on the four-yard line, with Dragon fans cheering wildly and urging receiver Derek Highstrom to punch it into the end zone. It wasn’t to be and the half ended 12-0 in Luck’s favor. Siren started second half

play from its 20 and continued its relentless ground game, peppered with occasional passes by quarterback Jordan Webster, plus one each by Anton and Highstrom. On a play that fooled almost the entire Cardinal team plus the referees, Tyler Anton sprinted around the left end and took off down the sideline, nearly reaching midfield while fighting to break free from the final Cardinal defender’s grasp. Suddenly the whistle sounded and the play was called dead while Anton was still upright and moving. A ref on the other side of the field thought another Dragon had been tackled with the ball and called the play dead. The ref’s error brought the ball back to the Siren 20-yard line despite a loud protest by SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 20

Eagles push past Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—On Friday night, the Unity Eagles used their strength and weight to defeat the Webster Tigers 29-6. With six Eagles weighing in at 240 pounds or more, it seemed like Unity could easily get by the smaller Tigers, but it turned out to be a battle as the Tigers kept on scratching and clawing throughout the entire game. “We knew now for two weeks in a row we would have to play a perfect game to stay in the game,” said Tiger Coach Andy Smith.”Some key injuries last week put us in a little bit of a hole right at the gate.” Unity received the opening kickoff and moved to midfield. Tiger Hunter Gustafson stepped in to snare a pass from Unity quarterback Hunter Pederson to stop the Eagle drive. The Tigers got down to the Eagle 21, but had to turn the ball over on downs. Six plays later, Lucas Flaherty grabbed a pass from Pederson and ran 41 yards for the score. The PAT was successful and the Eagles were up 7-0. Webster was stymied and had to punt from their own five with Unity taking over on their own 44. Three plays later, Hunter Houde ran the ball 36 yards for a touchdown. The PAT failed but Unity was up 13-0 with 4:46 left in the quarter. The Tiger's ensuing drive ended at midfield and they were forced to punt. The punt was blocked and Unity recovered the ball on their own 42. The quarter ended with the Eagles on the Tiger 24 yard line. Webster held and took over on downs from their 27.

Unity held and took over on the Tiger 27. After a Webster sacking of the quarterback and a large penalty, Unity was forced to punt and the Tigers took over on their own 19, moving the ball downfield following that play. The Eagles got a turnover of their own, intercepting a Tiger pass and ran it to the Tiger 40. Unity worked their way downfield and Pederson scored on a three-yard run. The two point conversion was good and Unity was up 21.0. The Tigers moved downfield following the kickoff and were knocking at the Eagle door, the ball on the six yard line, but two incomplete passes prevented the Tigers from scoring. 21-0 at the half. Third quarter action saw the Tigers receive the kickoff. They got down to the Eagle 24 when the ball was fumbled away, Unity recovering. The Webster defense held, getting a big sack on fourth and 11. Webster started on their own 43. On the fifth play from scrimmage, Tiger Brad Sigfrids caught a pass from Hunter Gustafson, good for a 51-yard touchdown. The PAT failed, but the Tigers were on the board, trailing 21-6 with 2:18 left in the quarter. On the kickoff, Unity returned the ball to the Tiger 46. On the seventh play from scrimmage, Tony Carlson scored on a two-yard run. The two point conversion was good and it was 29-6. The play ended quarter three. Webster got to the Eagle 42, but were forced to punt. The Eagles were forced to punt from the Tiger 49. The Tigers got to the Eagle 36 and Unity took over on downs. A knee and the game was done. “We can't have those penalties and expect to win,”

continued Coach Smith. “We still have some work to do to eliminate those mistakes. We were able to make some plays early on, but as they wore us down, they slipped by. We'll just have to keep working to get more physical.” The Tigers go to Shell Lake to take on the Lakers this Friday in a 7 p.m. contest.

gain strength. They are growing as a team and will continue to improve.” Added Roy Ward, Webster coach, “What a cool night for early in September. Thankfully only a few sprinkles early. Hosting a meet always makes it tough to coach and enjoy, but good for the kids to have a home meet. “The boys lost the tie breaker to Unity. The boys ran well, but they are all questioning if they could have picked up one spot. It was our seventh runner, Landon (Malsom), who improved the most. He is only two races into his career as a Webster Tiger and improved over three minutes. Jamin (Wilson) and Trent (Gustafson) improved over a couple minutes. I had an opportunity to talk to Jamin on the bus ride home and it was fun to listen to him talk about how he felt during the race. Joshua

Jenna Gomulak came in 27th with Kaley Bergstrom at 32nd. Pirate Gracie Gerber was in first place with a time of 21:18.5. Savannah Trittelwitz came in 19th with Hope McKinley and Brande Mirlande 28th and 34th respectively. Said Coach McKinley of the girls, “Gracie Gerber ran a smart race and continues to develop her strategy. I was pleased with the efforts of the rest of the ladies tonight. Hope McKinley continues to drop time and provide consistency to the team. Savanna Trittelwitz and Mirlande Brande are new to the team and ran their first race. It is good to have them join us and I am looking forward to them using their abilities and

progressing as the season continues.” “The girls are improving,” said Coach Ward of Webster. “I was proud of Sam and her willpower. She worked hard throughout the race and fought the last 800 to take second place. Kaley is getting better by a lot every race. She knocked over three minutes off her Spooner time. She is not alone in improving. Lexi and Trinity were both around two minutes faster. Sydney's time was a minute faster than Spooner. It is neat to see the improvement. We have a week and then we race at Rice Lake. It will be exciting to see if they can keep running faster. Overall, it was a fun meet with great efforts. I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks to see what they are made of.” Grantsburg will have been at Cameron on Thursday with both the Pirates and Tigers going to Rice Lake on Sept. 12 and to Osceola on Sept. 16.

Siren coaches and fans. The Cardinals’ defense didn’t give up another long gain for the remainder of the game. In the first quarter, Siren used its rushing game extensively and earned many first downs for its efforts, but a Dragon turnover gave Luck the ball at their 24 . The Dragons defense pushed them back to the 13 yard line, but Cardinal running back Dennis Brulel broke free and sprinted to the end zone for six points. A two-point conversion pass put the score at 8-0. Midway in the first half the Dragons moved the ball deep into Cardinal territory,

gaining a first down on the two yard line. But, the Cardinals goal-line stand locked Siren out of the end zone and turned the ball over to the Cardinals on fourth down at the two. At 9:18 in the second quarter, Luck completed a pass from the Siren 23-yard line to a receiver in the end zone for its second touchdown. The PAT run attempt failed, putting the half time score at 14-0. Later in the second half, two 15-yard penalties against the Cardinals helped the Dragons move into scoring territory. But, turnovers hampered their efforts all night. The Dragons made two good gains for first downs on fake punt plays but were unable to score on those

drives. The Cardinal’s final score came on a pass to Brule early in the fourth quarter, followed by a two-point conversion pass. Afterward, Dragon’s Coach Ryan Karsten was proud of the team’s efforts. “It was a great high school football game,” he said. “It is the best we have played against Luck since we have gone to 8 man. “Our defense was the best I have seen played in three-plus years. My D-line of Sequoia Bellanger, Lukas Hunter and Gavyn Anton all had great games. “Noah Koball was a senior leader leading us on both sides of the ball. We had five turn-

overs, and you can’t do that when you are playing the #1 team in the state. “Luck is very good and deserves to be ranked where they are. They have great players and are coached really well. They are the standard to which I compare our program. I am proud of the way my kids played and the way they competed. They stood toe-to-toe with the best and showed they could compete. “We walked off the field with our head held high. We now play Bruce in Bruce. They are 1-3 and we are 1-3, so it will be a very even game.” Stats: Rushing: Tyler Anton 7-15 Cordell Fischer 10-33

Dragons lose close set, win in three BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—The Siren Dragons had a heart breaker last Tuesday, losing to the Unity Eagles in five, 18-25, 9-25, 25-17, 25-21 and 11-15. Abby Kosloski had 11 kills with Julia Cederberg getting eight of the team's 32. Amy Stanford had 20 assists with Rylee O'Brien getting 11. Karlee Sybers had a team-high six blocks with Kosloski adding three. Stanford and Sybers each had two aces in the contest. FREDERIC—After the close defeat to the Eagles, the Dragons came back to defeat the Frederic Vikings on Thursday 25-13, 25-17 and 25-21. “It's a good feeling to have a win,” said Coach Kristin Kosloski. “This is how we can play. We're just finally putting it all together. I was able to get all my seniors in the game.” The Dragons fell behind 3-1 in game one, but came back to knot it at three. On a kill by Amy Stanford, the Dragons led at 13-7. Frederic narrowed the gap to 13-10, but an 8-0 run boosted the lead to 21-10 on an ace by Jade Horstman. The Dragons went on to take game one. In game two, Siren got off to a 9-3 start. Abby Kosloski had a kill in that time span. Frederic came back to trail by one at 10-9. A 7-2 spurt by Siren upped the margin to 17-11. The teams battled back and forth before the Dragons took game two. Game three was close from the get-go with five ties up to the 10-9 mark with Frederic leading. Frederic led 13-10 before the Dragons knotted it at 13.

Siren led 18-16 when Frederic called time. The pause helped the Vikings as they came back to tie the game at 19. Siren scored three before the Vikings got two, but that was the last points the Dragons would give up. Abby Kosloski had six kills with Amy Stanford getting four. Rylee O'Brien assisted 11 times. Both Stanford and Jade Horstman had two aces. “I was getting a little worried in the third game,” said Coach Kosloski. “They (Frederic) were putting it all together. We were subbing a little bit and I didn't want to play around too much. We talked about playing a good game and we did,” finished the coach.

Pirates go 3-1 at home tournament GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirate volleyball team hosted their annual tournament Saturday. They came out with a 3-1 record. The Pirates beat both New Richmond and Prairie Farm by 2-0 scores, lost to St. Croix Central 2-1, and defeated Frederic 3-0. “We are grateful to Frederic for agreeing to play our conference match at this tournament,” added Coach Deb Johnson. “The WIAA limits volleyball teams to 15 'play dates' during a season. With the conference schedule taking up 12 of those dates due to our 'home and away' format, we would have only had three opportunities to enter tournaments.” In regards to the matches, “It seemed that we played a bit too casually and complacently through our first three matches, and it took a first set loss to SCC in our final match to snap us out of our lackluster performance pattern,” related Coach Johnson. “St. Croix Central is coached by former Webster coach Mindy

Widiker, whose junior daughter is tough. They boast a couple of really strong hitters who were able to dominate the game at times. This might be the strongest group of volleyball players that school has had in recent history.” “The first glimmer of greatness I saw from the Pirates came in the second set of the championship match. We stomped out with a 25-7 victory. We battled back and forth in the tie-breaker before a flurry of excruciatingly frustrating and confusing situations arose that caused key momentum shifts. Sometimes the breaks go our way, and sometimes they don’t. Unfortunately, we dropped the tie-breaker 12-15.” “We had a lot of opportunities to clear the bench and get everyone some important court time to help gain experience and confidence. I was very proud of the team for going with the flow, adjusting to new lineups, and working together,” concluded the coach.

Torrence Wols of the Tigers sets for Webster in a 3-0 loss to Luck last Tuesday.

The Tigers fell behind 5-1 before they were one behind on a kill by Taylor Howe. Again the Cardinals moved up to lead 9-6 and the Tigers fought back to within one again at 9-8. A 5-0 run for Luck made it 14-8 before a kill by Howe and a tap by Skyler Winkler momentarily stopped the Luck momentum. Luck's front line kept pounding away, finalizing the first game at 25-15. The Tigers kept up with the Cards up to the tie at seven. Howe had two kills during that time frame. An 8-2 run with three consecutive Cardinal kills then followed. Webster called time at 19-11. A 6-2 spurt ended game two for the Cards. The Tigers didn't get on the board until after Luck had scored seven in game three and then the Cards stretched the lead to 16-2. Six points by the Tigers and holding the Cards to one narrowed the gap slightly to 17-8. Then Luck went on an 8-0 spurt which included two aces to make it 24-8. After a Tiger point, Luck finished the game with a kill. Taylor Howe had six kills to lead the Tigers. Hannah McDowell added four. Howe had three blocks with Summer Winkler getting two. Torrence Wols assisted six times with Hannah Janssen getting four.

Again, the teams kept it close most of the game and were tied at 19 before Grantsburg went on a little run to get the win at 25-22 to take it to set five. Unfortunately for the Pirates, Luck jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Grantsburg didn’t have

time to recover from some early mistakes and dropped this one 8-15. Johnson led the charge for the Pirates with 19 kills on the night. Olivia Ohnstad was next with 10, followed by Randi Siebenthal with seven. “It was nice to see a big offensive performance from Kenna, who is starting

to put it all together,” the coach added. McNally had five ace serves, none of them bigger than the final point of the third set. Siebenthal tallied three aces. Charli Siebenthal was the assist leader with 27, with Olivia Oachs adding 14. Defensively, McNally was back at the libero position with 23 digs. Randi Sie-

benthal was next on the list with 17. Ohnstad led the team in blocks with four, with Johnson and Brooke Quimby adding three each. Rachel Tooze rounded out the list with two blocks. The Pirates head to St. Croix Falls on Tuesday to take on the always-tough Saints. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

OSCEOLA—The Webster Tigers “had three starters who were unable to play due to injury and illness, so we played with a team of two seniors and seven freshmen and went 2-2 for the day,” praised Tiger Coach Stefanie Janssen. “Even though we were adjusting to a new lineup to start the morning, we were still competitive. The seniors were great leaders, and the younger girls stepped up and did a great job!” Match one saw the Tigers fall to Rice Lake 25-18 and 25-13. In match two they took a 25-13 and 25-19 setback to St. Croix Falls. In match three, the Ti-

gers came back to take a 25-23, 22-25, 17-15 win over host Osceola. The last match had the Tigers also win in three, 25-21, 21-25 and 15-11.

Grantsburg Board acts on liquor licenses BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Liquor license issues were a large part of the Grantsburg Village Board meeting Monday night. The board granted one license while denying another. Class A and B Licenses By state law, the village offers Class A licenses for sales of wine, beer and hard liquor bought in sealed containers and consumed away from the place of purchase. In Grantsburg, Class A license holders are Grantsburg Family Foods, Minit Mart, County Store and Sinclair convenience stores/gas stations. Also by state law, Grantsburg offers Class B liquor licenses to establishments that serve wine, beer and hard liquor by the drink at the establishment. The state limits the number of Class B licenses based on population. Grantsburg is allowed to issue up to six Class B licenses, plus one reserve license. In Grantsburg, Class B license holders are Hummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rendezvous, the American Legion, Dennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown Lanes, T-Dawgs and the Grantsburg Mu-

nicipal Golf Course Club House. (Some Class B license holders elect to not sell wine or hard liquor.) The sixth license was held by Dreamers, which closed in late August. Dreamers license denied At Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board meeting, Dreamers St. Croix Grille owners Corrinne Scheele and Dave Corty requested the village to put their names on the liquor license previously held by former Dreamers manager Virginia Westerburg. The board asked the brother and sister if they planned to immediately re-open the bar and restaurant. When they replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? the board denied their request for the license. That action took the Dreamers owners by surprise. They told the board that it would make it harder for them to find a new owner or operator to re-open the establishment without a license in hand. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position was that the license should remain open to the first qualified person who wishes to open a bar or other establishment that meets the village rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may take you three years to find someone to buy or run it,â&#x20AC;? Village President Larry Ebersold said. The owners asked the board what would happen if someone qualified for the Class B license before they find an operator or owner for Dreamers. Answering for the board, Village Clerk Patty Bjorklund told them that the state allows the village to issue a seventh â&#x20AC;&#x153;reserveâ&#x20AC;? license, but with a fee of $10,000, compared to the usual $600. The owners left the meeting abruptly and unhappily.

Criminal Battery by prisoners â&#x20AC;˘Lawrence E. Bildeau, 33, Hertel, plead guilty, was fined $518.00, and a local jail-imposed stayed sentence of one year, and an imposed one year probation sentence.

Disorderly conduct â&#x20AC;˘ Brandon R. Langerud, 26, Webster, plead guilty, and was fined $330.50.

Operating while revoked â&#x20AC;˘ Darlene R. Weller, 39, Grantsburg, plead no contest and was fined $330.50.

Reports from police and sheriff agencies are simply arrest reports. At press time, no charges have been ďŹ led.

COURT

Dollar General license approved Cari Weaver, manager of the Dollar General store that opened in August, left the meeting happier. The board granted the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for a Class A license. Weaver assured the board all store employees are at least 18 years of age and all have completed the required liquor sales training. They know they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to sell to anyone who is already inebriated, Weaver said. Although the license allows the store to sell hard liquor, Weaver said the Dollar Store chain opts to sell beer and wine only. Last month the board denied the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. Some board members felt that since Family Dollar, a competing Grantsburg store, did not sell spirits, they should deny the license to Dollar General too. However, after reviewing the statutes, the board concluded that Dollar General was within its rights to apply for a license and could potentially take the matter to court. By unanimous vote, the board approved the Dollar General license.

NOTICE

This notice is to explain the current ATV/UTV rules on the Burnett County Forest. 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). It’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 noti¿cations of trail conditions on our website at www.burnettcounty.com/notifyme. Thank you, Burnett County Forest & Parks Staff

Rescuing the lost

Pastor Dale VanDeusen Trade River Evangelical Free Church

Sometimes people are lost. How do we know if someone is lost? Because they are out of contact with those who love them, and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where they should be. Someone who cares starts looking for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Officer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to report a missing person. We have lost contact, and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where they are supposed to be.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened with a guy named Zac. Zac got lost in a busy city. How? Zac was small in stature and got lost in the crowd. He became a big cheat, getting rich doing a job that was legal but very sketchy. Zac

was lost to God. He believed in God and the stories of Jesus. He just was out of contact with God. There was no relationship, no communication between Zac and God. Zac was lost to God, and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where he should have been in his relationships with most people. These people had given up on Zac as a lost cause. But, God planned a rescue to find and save lost people like Zac. Jesus came, as He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to seek and to save that which was lost.â&#x20AC;? Zac was up a tree wanting to see Jesus. It turned out Jesus was looking for Zac! Jesus

befriended Zac with love and forgiveness. Contact with Zac was established, so Zac was no longer lost to our seeking Lord. Zac was saved. His life began to show Zac was where he should be. He stopped his cheating ways and began to make amends. Jesus still seeks to save people who are lost. People who might believe but have no real relationship with God. Jesus still seeks to save lost people through a life-changing friendship. Are you lost to Jesus, or are you in a saving relationship with Jesus?

Transportation Aid to 123 school districts WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

MADISON — Earlier this summer, the Department of Public Instruction distributed $7.5 million in aid to 123 school districts with student transportation costs that far exceed the statewide per pupil average. All three Burnett County school districts are included in this number. Districts were eligible for High Cost Transportation Aid if their transportation costs exceed 150 percent of the statewide average cost per member, $614.42 per student. Additionally, student membership within the district must have been 50 students or fewer per square mile. Aid is based on audited information from the previous fiscal year (2015-16) and was paid in June. “The High Cost Transportation Aid program can really make a difference in school districts that have higher than average transportation

costs, freeing up resources to focus on students and their learning,” said State Superintendent Tony Evers. “Fully funding this aid program in the 2017-19 state budget will provide needed support for kids in our small, rural school districts.” The High Cost Transportation Aid is categorical aid that provides additional funding to eligible school districts that have higher per pupil transportation costs when compared to the statewide average. The $7.5 million allocation in the 2015-17 state budget covers just over half of eligible costs. Payments to the 123 school districts that qualified for aid were prorated at 51.6 percent. Of the districts receiving aid, 22 received $100,000 or more in aid; 32 received between $50,000 and $100,000; 53 received between $10,000 and $50,000; and 16 received less than $10,000 to support pupil transportation costs.

SIREN—Jean Doffing’s “Broccoli Bacon Salad” recipe was named winner of the Siren Farmers Market first annual recipe contest. The recipe is posted on the Burnett County Farmers Markets Facebook page. Cooks were challenged to submit a favorite recipe that includes

fresh ingredients, good nutritional value and is quick and easy to prepare. During the month of August, contestants submitted a variety of creative and delicious recipes. Samples were served at the Saturday market in Siren and the shoppers voted. Each recipe scored well with

the tasters. On Saturday, Sept. 2, after tallying all the votes, Patti Hurd and Lynn Beauclaire awarded the winner, Jean Doffing, with a six-quart crockpot. Thanks to all the contest participants and all the market shoppers for making this project a success!

Siren Board tackles property cleanup issues BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—The Siren Village Board continued its village cleanup efforts at its monthly meeting Thursday, citing several properties that don’t meet the village code. Village Board President Dave Alden said he and Police Chief Chris Sybers have tried working with property owner Daymon Brown. Alden said, “Brown has made no progress and was given multiple citations,” which carry penalties ranging from $25 to $1,000 each. Alden and the board agreed that rather than issue more citations, it would set a time frame for Brown to complete the cleanup and issue citations if Brown doesn’t comply. Alden said Brown recently erected a fence to block the view of the items in his yard, but the fence appearance and structure don’t meet the

village code. Building a fence also does not release Brown from cleaning up the property behind the fence, the board agreed. Brown applied for a fence permit but built it without waiting for board approval. Since the fence doesn’t meet village appearance standards and may also be inside the State Hwy 35 right of way, the board directed Chief Sybers to order Brown to remove the fence. A property owned by Jim Hunter and another owned by the heirs of Bruce Johnson are on the village’s list of properties needing inspection and repairs. Village Attorney Adam Benson told the board in an email that he may need a court order to gain access and have those properties inspected. Benson said the village’s building inspector, Dennis Quinn, told Benson the village needs a certified commercial

inspector to do those property inspections, which Quinn is not. The board referred the matter to the Public Safety Committee and authorized the committee to approve Benson to get the court order and hire a commercial inspector at the appropriate time. The board also cited properties owned by Dayton Daniels and Louis D’Jock as needing attention. Daniels told Benson he plans “at some point” to convert the substandard building into a company headquarters, but the board said it would prefer to see the building torn down. D’Jock referred the board to work with his grandson, Nate. Vacation rental concerns In another matter, the board expressed concern about the growing number of private properties in the village being SEE SIREN BOARD, PAGE 31

Grantsburg to implement Wi-Fi on buses SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG— After the school board welcomed the new staff joining the district (see picture), much of the remainder of the meeting revolved around Wi-Fi for the school busses. The idea behind this—to turn lengthy bus rides into educational trips. Grantsburg school district requires their students - especially at the high school level - to engage with much of their coursework via Google Drive. Kajeet SmartBus, the company Grantsburg is purchasing from, works with many school districts throughout the country. While the strict guidelines of internet use are not yet in place, it seems the board plans to make Wi-Fi available during lengthy field trips, faraway sport events and other such journeys in order for students to utilize time on the bus for education. Grantsburg District Technology Director Jesse Byers gathered the various options available to the school district and urged for the purchase of portable units. These are WiFi devices that plug into the power port in a vehicle (a.k.a.

cigarette lighter) and can be removed and used in other vehicles. A total of $8,888.69 will be spent to purchase six portable units and a total of 360 gigabytes (GB) package plan. The board hopes this amount of GB will be suitable for one school year; unused data will roll-over into the following school year. The board checked with all the district bus drivers and teachers about implementing Wi-Fi and the overall response was positive. However, the bus drivers only support Wi-Fi on extra-curricular trips rather than everyday use on all busses. Grantsburg Superintendent commented, “Many students get home late after school activities and then have to stay up even later to finish homework. Students will now have the opportunity to do homework on the school bus during the bus ride to activities and after the events. It will be especially valuable on long distance trips. I am excited about the extended learning opportunity for students and staff. Kudos to the school board for making this investment.”

rented out on a weekly basis as a vacation getaway, including the former Potempa home, now owned by another party, as having “10 bedrooms and one bathroom.” The board heard several comments about “Air B&B” rentals, where property owners go online and offer lodging in their own homes or at properties they own but don’t occupy. The board said this type of rental arrangement is informal and differs from a licensed bed and breakfast, which requires the owner or operator to be on site

when guests are present. That is not always the case with Air B&B rentals, where the renters pay in advance and may not ever see the property owner. The board agreed it was a potential problem and that it should consult with the League of Wisconsin Municipalities to find model ordinances it may consider adopting for Siren. Chief Sybers, a member of the Burnett County Board of Supervisors, said the county board regulates private vacation rentals through conditional use permits, and said the county has denied issuing them on occasion.

At the Siren Village Board meeting last Thursday, President Dave Alden showed the board a banner announcing Siren’s July 1965 celebration of the Burnett County Centennial. It was among several memorabilia items donated to the village by the family of Lilly Morse, longtime Siren resident who died in August at age 97.
