WEBSTER— “I just hope people look forward to the Fair each year,” said a longtime Webster Fair Board member, one that chooses to remain anonymous. This board member followed with, “It’s not about me.” Fairs, like any widely enjoyed event, have to be meticulously planned. The people who attend are swept up in the pageantry and marvel at the grandeur that appears to have materialized overnight. That is the way the organizers want people to feel: like the fair is a natural part of the community, one that takes long naps and awakes for a few days in its traditional clad but always with a few new bells and whistles. The Central Burnett County Fair will awake for the one hundredth time on Sept. 22-24. In recent years, the Fair has taken place in July but due to the difficulty in scheduling a carnival, the festivities were moved to late September— the time of year it was held originally. After all, carnivals are not as abundant as they were in the past. “What’s a fair without a carnival?” exclaimed the board member.
Mrs. Polzine’s creative solutions BY SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GRANTSBURG— It is safe to say the community cares about education. Nell Polzine is a second grade teacher at Grantsburg Elementary and with the help of several community members, local businesses and a couple other generous individuals she received $1,896.35 to purchase a total of 18 Learniture stools and five Zenergy Ball Chairs (core strengthening seating). Learniture is flexible seating for students; the stool is designed to help increase student engagement and encourage productive movement while still proactively participating in class. After all, the youngsters have a lot of energy. These chairs have the potential to allow for natural movement while children listen to their instructor. Polzine began this project last April after seeing an adult version used by another faculty member during a meeting. She then thought the chair would be good for all students. Soon after, Polzine set up an account on Donorschoose.org, a website for teachers looking
for funding for projects such as this. She titled her initiative “We like to move it move it.” Polzine made her profile and did everything she could to share the link with as many people as possible. The teacher even hosted a summer garage sale to raise funds and while she did that, her kindergarten daughter, Maizie, raised a grand total of $45 by way of lemonade sales. Maizie describes the chairs as fun because they wobble. All but one donor were local, Polzine is happy to report. The one outside donor was an Edina man who gave the final $25 needed. In a post on the fundraising page he said, “I have a daughter with lots of energy so sitting still is challenging for her. When her teacher gave her something to get her wiggles out at her desk, she was better able to focus on her school work. I want the same for all of you! Happy moving and learning!” Between April and the beginning of the school year, the goal was reached with the help of 25 donors. Local businesses such as Parker, Wood River Pharmacy, Jensen Sunquist, Village Floral donated
Some things will be the same. Entries will begin to build on Thursday followed by judging on the following days and many 4-H’ers and other community members will sport ribbons and celebrate with funnel cake and mini donuts. On Saturday, the grandstand will erupt with cheers from the demolition derby and the beer garden will flow.

Editor’s note: We are coming up on the final week of September, which is National Preparedness Month. This month we have suggested family conversations be focused on making a plan for ourselves in an emergency. Next, we expanded that plan to consider those around us – family, neighbors, and the community at large. Last week, we talked about acting – putting away food and water so we could take care of ourselves for first 5-7 days of disaster. This week, let’s look at getting involved to make ourselves, our family, and our community more resilient. We may not be able to stop disasters, but we can work to mitigate their effects and improve our response to them. Our goal is to get our lives back to normal faster and with less physical and physiological trauma.
So what can we do? We can get involved. And a good level of involvement is different for everyone. It may be picking up garbage in the ditches. It may be growing a vegetable garden. It may be learning First Aid. It may be running for office. It may be volunteering. A good place to start may be looking
what their disaster plans and continuation of operations plans incorporate. Volunteer ahead of time, so that you can be trained and therefore be an asset the schools can count on in an emergency. Incorporate the school disaster planning and family reunification planning into your family plan for collecting all family members after an incident. Faith based organizations play a huge role in community disaster response. Most of these organizations have very well-formed plans and training programs for maintaining the organization and providing care and services in times of need. One idea that many have not thought of is becoming a Weather Ready Nation Ambassador. This initiative promotes the collection of data and improved communication between the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and their partners. You, someone experiencing what is actually happening, the “Ground Truth,” can provide valuable data. Go to www.weather.gov and click on the WRN logo for more information. While you certainly don’t have to join a group to make the community more resilient, volunteering opportunities are available for almost any area of interest. Some take specialized training, and some just need for you to care. I hesitate

at our workplace. National statistics show that 40 percent of businesses never recover after a disaster and planning ahead can be the difference between withering and blooming. Continuation of Operations planning considers what business operations will look like, where it can operate, and what is absolutely required to continue under trying circumstances. Another place to get involved is with our educational facilities from daycare up through adult education. Resuming a normal routine can help kids recover from the setbacks of a disaster. Talk to your schools and know
to list organizations for fear for missing some, but those that popped into my mind include: Fire Departments, First Responders, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Interfaith Caregivers, Ruby’s Pantry, Indianhead Action Agency, Scouts, 4-H, Humane Society, Citizens Patrol, Library, Citizens Auxiliary, meals on wheels, hospice... I’m sure there are a jillion more. The point is, if we think about what could happen, make a plan for how to respond, and act on that plan to prepare ourselves, families, and community, we will be much more capable to return life to “normal” after a disaster.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2017
List this, list that Making a list of outdoor “must-get-dones” and “would-be-best-to-get dones” before cold weather arrives, the tasks totaled 13. It was a little optimistic given the time-consuming nature of a few items and the following two days off in which to do it, but it was what needed to be completed. The first morning, I initially procrastinated – savoring my coffee, peeking at the list and not feeling like doing any of it. Little things in the house that needed attention distracted me and I dawdled around. Tidbits of prose came to mind and I’d stop, find my tablet and put the words down. A dog needed an ear scratch and the mostly quiet-of-late birdNewbie in feeders were alive with visitors. That list, however, prevented me the North- from enjoying my free morning. It loomed large in my mind no matwoods ter how much I tried ignoring it. Lori Callahan Get dressed; back to the list. I remembered I needed butter – a last-ditch resistance effort – and jotted it down on the always-running grocery list. Most often with task lists, I pick the most difficult or dreaded item first, but not this morning. I was fighting another day of work, wanting to play. Resigned finally to the day ahead, I shuffled to task on the simplest item on the list: bringing inside the houseplants that enjoyed and thrived in the summer sun. I believe the principle of a body in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force and a body at rest stays at rest... applies to humans as well. Once moving, I knew my will would catch up. Breaks for meals and refreshment, a good hour hike with the dogs, a quick grocery store run (added to the list) and day’s end found 10 tasks completed. It was a productive day and the most dreaded work of seal-painting the fence gate with its many decoratively shaped spindles had its first coat. The second coat would go on much quicker and easier the next day. The most time consuming job, planting seven shrubs, was also done. List makers know the pleasure in taking pen to pad and crossing things off. It’s a satisfying swoop of ink. Do teachers still mark incorrect answers on papers with a check mark? In my own school days, I’m certain there were a few list-maker teachers, recognizing that long tail on the mark. I wonder if they secretly enjoyed finding errors so they could pen that same line, and in bright red even, used on their completed lists. It’s probably a good thing I did not become a teacher as many of my 10 siblings had. A co-worker said his wife was a list maker, too. We laughed about adding already-completed things to lists simply to be able to cross them off and other seemingly quirky “lister” behaviors. I think listers are task-oriented and organized planners. A list is simply a plan in brief form. The “cross outs” are just a manner of tracking the plan. Plan your work and work your plan. Go ahead, make a list.
Feel like a number “To workers I’m just another drone/ To Ma Bell I’m just another phone/ I’m just another statistic on a sheet/ I feel like a number/ I’m not a number/ Dammit I’m a man/ I said I’m a man” – lyric, Bob Seger, “Feel Like a Number” All hail the individual, the creators, designers, workers, innovators. Without individual achievement and spark, we would still be eating nuts and berries in a cave. But as much as we seemingly give adoration to the individual, the wheels of society and commerce quickly convert our uniqueness to an algorithm so we can be dealt with in an efficient manner. From the We become numbers. Social SecuriPublisher’s ty, account, personal identification – Desk you name it – a number is what we are boiled down to in the end. It’s so much Tom Stangl easier for machines to keep track of us b if we are numbers. It’s also easier to steal numbers than individual achievements. I heard a news account last week about the data breach at Experian, one of the three major credit reporting bureaus. Security experts were theorizing that it may be time to ditch one of the most venerated numbers in American society: the Social Security number. These experts theorized that there have been so many databases of Social Security numbers stolen over the past decades, that nearly everyone’s number had been stolen. According to a CNN Money report, “Social Security numbers were first issued in 1936 -- “for the sole purpose” of tracking the earnings history of workers for benefits, according to the Social Security Administration. Until 1972, the bottom of the card said: “FOR SOCIAL SECURITY PURPOSES -- NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION.”

But it is currently the gold standard when it comes to identification for all financial transactions. A national identification card, with yet another number to remember, has been floated as an alternative. The introduction of biometrics – the use of fingerprints or facial recognition software into products ranging from cell phones to automobiles — may provide a viable alternative. Apple’s new iPhone X reportedly uses facial recognition to unlock the phone. The company has been using fingerprints to unlock devices for a few years now. Privacy advocates are concerned that Apple will be collecting a facial database that could be used for some nefarious purpose. I hate to break it to you, but the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has been collecting a facial database for years. Ever wonder why you can’t smile or wear your glasses when they take your photo? Yup, it slows down the facial recognition software. By registering us all, we are theoretically protected from the bad guys. That’s the premise. I can understand wanting to move to something else than a number for identification, but the truth is that if people really want to steal your information, they will find a way. Personal privacy has been dead and buried for at least 16 years. I think it’s time to have a discussion about this issue and we need to make sure that the solution is as low cost and transparent as possible. We are all involved and you shouldn’t have to surrender information – even a fingerprint – without knowing what it is going to be used for and where it will be stored. We are so much more than numbers. 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.

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.

Why Bipartisanship?
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Call Sen. Johnson To the Editor: Hurricanes, North Korea, football and other things have been in all our headlines lately. But, while we were looking away a new effort is being pushed along which just might impact us more. Some U.S. Senators including Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson believe they have all but one or two votes needed to end Obamacare. No hearing or CBO evaluations are planned, but there is a rush to pass this legislation before Sept. 30. After that date, they would need 60 votes for passage. A vote may be scheduled for next week. What is in this bill? Forbes Magazine is not a liberal publication, but a recent article in Forbes expressed great concern. Called Graham-Cassidy, Forbes said the bill is “The last-ditch GOP effort to deprive millions of healthcare.” Forbes asserts this legislation if passed, would: • Remove protections that prevent discriminating against pre-existing conditions. • Reinstate individual
lifetime and annual limits on healthcare coverage. • Eliminate essential benefits. • Cut Medicaid which funds care for elderly, disabled, poor and half our births. • Potentially cause rural areas to suffer as more rural hospitals close. It allows all these things in the name of “state flexibility,” and promotes a funding distribution plan which denies residents of different states equal benefits. Neither you nor I fully understand the full impact of this proposal, but clearly it could have more effects on our lives than even hurricanes and North Korea. We have had seven years to plan improvements in our healthcare system. Should major changes be rushed now just to keep political promises and lower taxes? If you demand more thoughtful representation of our interests, call Senator Johnson’s Washington DC office today at (202) 224-5323 to oppose the Graham-Cassidy Bill. Mark E. Boyken, M.D. St. Croix Falls
LEE H. HAMILTON INDIANA UNIVERSITY CENTER ON REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT
Back in March, two young members of Congress from Texas, Beto O’Rourke and Will Hurd, became brief internet celebrities. Unable to fly back to Washington due to a snowstorm, the two hit the road together, tweeting and livestreaming their trip north. They fielded questions along the way on everything from the war on drugs to immigration — and so ended up holding what O’Rourke called “the longest cross-country livestream town hall in the history of the world.” What sparked people’s interest was a fact that, a generation ago, would have been unremarkable: O’Rourke is a Democrat, and Hurd a Republican. They disagree politically on many things. Yet somehow they managed to share Whataburgers, sing along to Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” joke with colleagues of both parties — and wind up signing on to each other’s legislation once they got to D.C. That this struck a chord with the national press and hundreds of thousands of Facebook viewers shouldn’t come as a surprise. When I talk to people about Congress and Washington in general, I’m impressed by their hunger for bipartisanship. Americans of all stripes believe that the institutions of representative democracy are not working as they should. And they want members of the two parties to work together more. The litany of forces tilting our politics toward polarization is long and dispiriting. The political extremes, left and right,

We will be having election of officers in October. I believe the people running for office will be announced at the Sept. 21 monthly meeting. Remember, the center is available for rent for private parties, organizations, etc. Plan ahead and rent our center for your holiday gatherings. Our decorators did a nice job of making the center fall looking. They have colored leaves, bird nests and a bee hive to celebrate the season. The ones who get credit for their artistic abilities are Rose Miller, Barb Geske and Diane Norman. We are wishing the best to everybody who have places in Florida and Texas. Hurricane Irma and Harvey did so much damage and we hope local people
survived with little destrucion to their places. Thanks to all the people who are donating items from their gardens for our meals. The seniors are grateful for the produce donations. Our 500 winners were Gerry Vogel, John LaFond, Marge Traum, Doug Harlander and Bren Nel Ward. Pat Bresina got the 9 bid. Spade winners were Phyllis Peterson, Lorna Erickson, Susie Hughes, Marie Bentley, Sue Christensen. Mary Sicard got the 9 bid. Looks like spade winners were all the ladies. We had our potluck on Wednesday. I was not there but heard they had a good selection of food.
Welcome to Fall. The leaves are starting to show their beautiful fall colors. Get out and enjoy them. Nineteen players came for dime bingo and enjoyed the treats furnished by Bernie. Judy W. won the big pot. Remember, we play at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Come join the fun. There were four pool players. Ken was the winner. Five came to play dominoes and Judy B. was the winner. They play at 1 p.m. every Thursday. Always room for more.
There will be no lunch on Friday, Sept. 22 due to a staff training session. The bargain table will have a new look this week with lots of new fall items. Come in and check it out. The Border Battle (Packers vs. Vikings) party will be held on Sunday, Oct. 15. More info next week. Get your team colors out. Remember: Dance before the music is over. Live before the rhythm is gone.

Wow!
less influence held by ideologically driven activists who are unwilling to compromise. Second, politicians need to step up — and most especially, the President and the leaders of Congress. They have to remind people that the job of the policy maker is to put the country before politics, and that it is necessary for us to work together to meet our challenges. Third, Congress needs to fix its practices with an eye toward reversing polarization. It should return to the deliberative order of doing business, and to real conference committees, which would require members to meet, discuss, and compromise with one another. It needs to reduce partisan control of elections, the influence of special interest money, and gerrymandering for partisan advantage, and to strengthen the integrity of the electoral system. I am heartened by several private-sector groups that are determined to push Congress and the President to work together to get things done. Finally, we as citizens have to convey to politicians that there’s a right and a wrong way to conduct the dialogue of democracy. If we want to keep this country strong, prosperous and free, we need to place a premium on politicians who know how to work together — and with people who don’t agree with them.

make up perhaps a third of the American public, but they’re disproportionately active within their parties and help drive polarization. This is amplified by Americans’ increasing preference for associating with people who share their views, and by the army of consultants and politicians who use negative politics to bring out their “base” and sway those in the middle. The institutions that once sought the middle ground no longer do so. The media has become more impulsive, more aggressive, and far less objective. Strong, sophisticated, well-financed interest groups have learned to play the political game hard and to brook no compromise. Political parties that made it their job to build consensus have set it aside. Political and congressional leaders, far from seeking to build the center, find reward in pursuing conflict and confrontation, demonizing opponents and even members of their own party who show a willingness to compromise. O’Rourke and Hurd’s joint adventure seemed so unusual in part because all of these trends come together in Congress. It is the sole American institution explicitly designed to air the diverse needs and voices of Americans when policy gets made. Yet these days, it is the place where no one expects this to happen. As a nation, we are far worse off because of this. At home, we get deadlock, dysfunction, and loss of faith in our political institutions. Abroad, we’re seen as indecisive and incapable. So how do we fix this? The answer lies in four arenas. First, we need to bolster the middle by expanding the electorate: the more people who vote, the

Worldly Webster students SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
WEBSTER— Webster seniors are getting real life experience and college credit before high school graduation. The Introduction to Education class is offered through the University of Wisconsin- River Falls in conjunction with Webster School District and other schools throughout the state. The class is in its second year and conducted by Webster kindergarten teachers Lori Ward and Jessica Hedrick. This year Maiya Fuller and Madisen Freymiller are partaking in the class. The class offers eligible students the opportunity to explore what the education field looks like at the elementary level. It is a fall semester class and students receive two college credits and time in the elementary classrooms. Participants must have a 3.0 GPA and be in the top 40 percent of their grade. Students partake in two Interactive Television Classes during the week and spend at least one class period learning from and assisting elementary teachers per week. However, students in the past decided to volunteer in the classroom even after the semester. Perfect attendance is expected and each student must maintain a reflective journal of time spent in the classroom. For the final assignment, students must design class activities based on a children’s book and digitally present this project to other students partaking in the River Falls class. Mrs. Ward stated, “This is no problem for Webster students. Kudos to Webster schools for preparing these students.” At the end of the semester, students are scheduled to visit River Falls, meet professors and students, and sit in on classes for a day. Another special class is Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training. Webster schools is partnered with WITC-Rice Lake and students are guided by Webster High School Counselor Renee Ones. The class is offered in the summer and during the fall semester. Ones stressed that this program is a major time commitment as – during the school year - students are expected to partake in five-hour classes five days a week for five weeks, totaling 120 hours. All this is to
be done while maintaining normal class schedules. Two students that participated in the summer course are now working seasonally in facilities in Luck and Frederic. “It’s a job that’s really rewarding,” said Melodie Liljenberg who was just accepted at Bemijdi State’s nursing program. Sydney Rashke, another participating student, said, “I know I’m making a difference everyday.” Ones pointed out one important part about both the CNA and Education classes: Students can experiment with these careers before basing a college decision on something they only think they may want to do. Ones has received multiple applications for the next round of the CNA class period. In other school board news, the board hired Jill Norman to teach elementary art part time. Substitute teaching pay rate will increase by $10, beginning at $100 a day. Once one reaches 15 working days, pay increases to $110, and up to $120 after 30 days. The rate for a half day is $60. The board increased extra curricular pay for coaches and advisors by 6%. The board also approved a new two year contract for Linda Weber, the Drivers Ed instructor.
State Budget The senate passed the State budget last week and a new provision eliminates the requirement to renew teacher licenses. “Once the governor signs it, the requirement to renew a license ends,” said Webster Superintendent Jim Erickson. A February Wisconsin Journal Sentinel article states, “opinions are split on the lifetime licensure idea, but there is some bipartisan support — including from those in education circles — for new programs to bolster Wisconsin’s flagging educator pipeline.” Executive director of the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators Jon Bales voiced support for this provision but “wants to ensure teachers continue to have access to high-quality continuing education.” According to the Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin offered lifetime licenses for teachers until 1983, when it began requiring teachers to show professional growth to renew their license every five years.

Webster village upkeep SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
WEBSTER— After the conclusion of the August Webster Village Board meeting, the fate of the village/school sidewalk project was unknown. Now, nearing the end of September, the Village Board is closer to securing their part of the deal for a project meant to keep students off the streets while walking towards Highway 35 from campus. The school’s sidewalk project consists of a 700’ x 8’ stretch running east and west along Fairgrounds Road. This project is complete. The Village’s initial plan was to construct a 440’ x 6’ stretch of sidewalk, on the south side of Alder street from Pike to Apple streets. A crosswalk on Alder Street at Pike Avenue will connect the sidewalks. However, the question was asked, “Do we plan on continuing this sidewalk towards Highway 35 in the future?” The answer was a wavering, “yes.” The point was then made that due to the lift station and the positioning of a generator, efforts to build a sidewalk to the highway may be difficult on that side of Alder Street. Due to the further extension to the originally planned 440 feet being a mere potential project, the Village tentatively approved a motion for a bid. The board approved a $16,850 bid
from A to Z Contracting, Webster. “We will go to Apple for now,” said Village President Jeff Roberts. Roberts stated he hopes the project will be complete no later than the end of October. In other village upkeep news, the board is entertaining the idea of adding hanging flower baskets from the light poles on Main Street. Roberts was approached by local businesses about implementing these baskets like neighboring Burnett County communities. The baskets will cost approximately $1,800 in total. However, a trailer, tank, and work hours are extra expenses when considering this project. The board approved the motion to purchase the baskets and plans to assess the remaining factors in the coming months. There are 16 light poles on Main Street. The weekend of the Fair, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Musky to Pike Streets will be closed to accommodate the Diamond Collision Car show.
Cub Scouts The Cub Scouts used the Webster Community Center free of charge this past year and the board approved a motion to allow for the continued use free of charge for another. The Cub Scouts will gather at the center every third Thursday of the month.

Weekly: Casually observe for any sign of leaks underneath sinks and toilets. It is good to catch a leak quickly, before it does damage. Also check for dripping and running. Monthly: Check your water softener salt level, fill as needed. If it hasn’t gone down at all since last time, there could be a problem with the softener. Every 3 months: Carefully observe and FEEL pipes for any sign of leaking in all areas that have pipes. In humid weather, moisture on cold water pipes may be condensation rather than a leak. Annually: Clean and/or replace the screens at the hot and cold inlets of your wash machine. Also clean and/or replace the aerators at the outlet of your faucets. This will help you to maintain good water pressure at these appliances and fixtures. Flush the sediment from the bottom of your water heater. In October: Take adequate measures to winterize any plumbing fixtures or pipes that will be exposed to outdoor temperatures. Winterization may include draining and/or providing insulation and a heat source. Insulation without a heat source will NOT typically provide water pipes with adequate protection.

There has been much speculation and rumors about the future of the Grantsburg Fitness Center. I thought it was necessary to let all the members of the fitness center and the community know what is going on. It looks like the Grantsburg Fitness Center will change hands on November 1, 2017. The fitness center was not up for sale, but I was approached by someone that wanted to purchase it. Many of you know that I work 70 -80 hours per week. It is time for me to slow down just a little. I only considered the offer because they are local and want to continue the fitness center as is. The new owners have assured me that there will be no major changes as to how the center is run including classes and memberships. They do have fantastic plans for remodeling and expansion. It is an exciting time, and members will benefit greatly with new and enthusiastic owners. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and fully expect to continue my personal workouts here at Grantsburg Fitness. I will continue my Chiropractic practice at the fitness center and move to our new location on November 1, 2017 at 134 W Madison Ave in downtown Grantsburg. I want to thank everyone for making the dream of reopening the Grantsburg Fitness Center a reality. It has been a very successful business which has helped so many reach their fitness goals and get healthy for the last seven years. Grantsburg is a better and healthier place because of the Grantsburg Fitness Center. The doors are always open and will continue to be open. The future is bright for the Grantsburg Fitness Center and our community! – Dr. Steven S. Bont

New this year are the additions of the Sunday car show, Saturday bingo put on by the Lion’s Club, and a craft and business expo on Saturday and Sunday. The board members are excited to introduce Kids’ Day (Saturday). From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. kids will enjoy a petting zoo, a saw dust pile, an egg race and more. While all this and more will be happening (check back page ad for schedule), attendees are encouraged to take a moment and remember the importance of this Fair. On display will be a collection of photos and old documents that paint the picture of the Fair’s history. Available for anyone to see are the hand-written minutes from a meeting on March 14, 1917, the day the Fair was born. And, to celebrate the long tradition of the Central Burnett County Fair, Senator Sheila Harsdorf
will be at the Fairgrounds at 1 p.m. on Saturday presenting a plaque to celebrate the Fair’s 100th birthday and free cake will be served. “It’s a year-round job, the Fair,” said the board member. Every year the planning is a bit different than the last as vendors opt in and out, organizations take the reigns of particular aspects and then veer away years later, the board grows and thins. One thing that remains the same is the time needed to plan. The moment the Fair ends, that is when the board heads back to the drawing board for the next year’s festivities. Over the years the board members have held fundraisers at the Tap Bar in Webster, a haunted house at the Fairgrounds, and other events to raise money to support the Fair. All that money comes from fundraisers, donated time by board members. The Central Burnett County Fair will be open to everyone Sept. 22-24. Come out and enjoy the traditions and the new events. “We have to try different things. We just try to make it a success. Afterall, it has been 100 years.”

to the effort alongside many individuals. Excited and encouraged with the help from others, Polzine said, “It was a lot of work, but along with the support of our community, including both individuals and some local businesses, I was able to raise enough money to fund a complete overhaul of our classroom seating to accommodate my students’ busy bodies.” Polzine mentioned a couple other donors as well: former students. “A couple of my students last year knew about the fundraiser and knew they wouldn’t benefit from it. But some of them still brought in money from their piggy-banks. That was really neat.” Polzine held a thank you breakfast on Sept. 12 for donors. “Many of the donors were able to join us for a warm school breakfast, followed by the delivery of our new flexible seating—delivered by our donors themselves,” she said.
GOVERNMENT CENTER—“We want to follow a more sustainable model,” said Burnett County Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs when speaking about the future of county roads. At the September Infrastructure meeting, Hoefs shed light on the development of a “Pavement Management Plan.” While still in the works, this plan aims to create a better, more scheduled process of road maintenance in the county. “Waiting until a road is shot is like waiting for your car to die before getting an oil change,” he said. This plan will be more oriented around making improvements to roads rather than just sustaining adequate conditions. Since Hoefs took his position in 2015, he has developed a yearly grading system for all roads in Burnett County. By doing this he has tracked when and why projects were undertaken. Hoefs is working with multiple engineers and other roadway specialists to develop this plan. The Pavement Management Plan will enable the Commissioner to better forecast future projects. He describes the two primary objectives as prolonging the life of roads as long as possible and in the most economical manner, and providing information necessary to allow the county board to discuss transportation funding needs in the future and, ultimately, how to fund that work. “The life of a road is a function of its surface condition and pavement structure. Cracking allows water into the road base which rapidly reduces the life of the pavement. So keeping the road sealed greatly prolongs the life of the road. I expect the plan to yield significant savings to the county in the future as we enact and continuously refine the plan,” he said.
Airport County Administrator Nate Ehalt informed the committee the Burnett County Airport is ranked third worst in the state due to the condition of the pavement. The board plans to embark on a 1.8 million dollar runway reconstruction of the east-west runway in either 2019 or 2020. The fine details of this plan are not yet known. The board approved the lease agreement for Otieno Oduor to open AeroQualite’, an aircraft mechanic business in a Burnett County Airport hangar. Oduor is from Kenya and worked in France and the United States in the aircraft mechanic business. He was brought to Cumberland last year to work with a friend living in the area. Recently, Oduor contacted the Burnett County Government Center about opening his business on the property. “The County is very excited to have a new mechanic on the airfield, and a mechanic with Otieno’s experience is hard to come by, not to mention he has owned and operated a successful aircraft mechanic business in France,” said Ehalt.

SafeRide Program: over three decades of success MADISON— Now in its 32nd year, the Tavern League of Wisconsin’s (TLW) SafeRide Program continues to be a model for the rest of the nation. The Tavern League’s commitment to keep impaired drivers off Wisconsin’s roads is documented in its recently released SafeRide Survey of more than 60 counties in the state. In 2016-2017, TLW-member establishments provided 95,203 free rides home to their patrons, a 15.8 percent increase from the previous year. Thanks in part to the SafeRide program, Wisconsin has witnessed a 58 percent decline in alcohol related fatalities over the last 10 years while also experiencing a 47 percent decrease in injuries and a 38 percent reduction in crashes. In recent years, the number of SafeRides provided increased over 150 percent, while program operations were expanded to 62 Wisconsin counties. The cost of the SafeRide program, which is nearly $1 million, is shared by TLW members as well
as funds generated by surcharges on OWI convictions. According to TLW Executive Director Pete Madland, the program’s status as the largest and most successful alternative transportation program in the country to address the issue of operating a motor vehicle while impaired, is due to TLW members. “We are very proud of our members who volunteer their time to ensure the program continues to thrive,” Madland said. Madland added, “The Tavern League’s SafeRide program has become so well known throughout the country, it’s now considered the standard for other states as they strive to eliminate drunk driving on their roadways. “In fact, the National Conference of Mayors has recognized the SafeRide program for its effort to reduce alcohol-related crashes and fatalities.” For more information about the Tavern League of Wisconsin’s SafeRide program, please visit www.tlw.org and click on the SafeRide link.

Drug companies: stop pushing opiods
McKenzie’s attorneys did not contest that their client was involved in drug operation but contend he did not possess methamphetamine as charged by the government. They intend to appeal his conviction on those grounds. Arguing against the government’s 20-year sentencing recommendation, attorney Peter Moyers said McKenzie was a regional methamphetamine distributor but was “no Pablo Escobar,” a Mexican drug kingpin. McKenzie apologized in court for any wrongdoing. Peterson said McKenzie did not warrant a 20-year sentence despite running a “significant drug operation in northwest Wisconsin” that laundered money in an effort to conceal it from law enforcement and peddled an illegal substance that harms the lives of many people. While some drug dealers can seemingly be replaced within days of going to jail, Peterson said, it’s unlikely McKenzie will be given the extensive connections he established over time. In imposing sentence, Peterson factored in McKenzie’s age which, made him a lesser chance to reoffend than a younger drug dealer, and his lack of prior convictions.
MADISON—Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel joined a coalition of 37 states and territories urging health insurance companies to examine financial incentives that contribute to the opioid epidemic in Wisconsin. “We have witnessed firsthand the devastation that the opioid epidemic has wrought on our states in terms of lives lost and the costs it has imposed on our healthcare system and the broader economy,” Schimel said. “As the chief legal officers of our states, we are committed to using all tools at our disposal to combat this epidemic and to protect patients suffering from chronic pain or addiction.” In a letter addressed to industry trade groups and major insurance providers, the attorneys general urge insurers to review their coverage and payment policies that create opioid-prescribing incentive structures across the insurance industry. Partnering with insurance providers to identify problematic policies and encouraging reforms would spur increased use of non-opioid alternatives for treatment of chronic, non-cancer pain. In acknowledging the important role insurance companies play in reducing opioid prescriptions, the attorneys general hope to assess the positive and negative impacts incentive structures have on the opioid epidemic. The attorneys general contend incentives that promote use of non-opioid techniques will increase the practicality of medical providers considering such treatments, including physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic care and non-opioid medications. Increased reliance on non-opioid alternatives will combat a significant factor contributing to the epidemic – the over-prescription of opioid painkillers. The letter notes the number of opioid prescriptions have quadrupled since 1999, despite Americans reporting a steady amount of pain.
25 arrested for sex trafficking GREEN BAY—Today, Attorney General Brad Schimel announced Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Human Trafficking Bureau agents, with the aid of local and federal law enforcement, have arrested 25 individuals in stings to arrest sex traffickers, “johns,” and child abusers in July and August 2017. “The only reason human trafficking exists is because there is a demand for buying sex. Those creating the demand – the johns who buy victims and the pimps who are exploiting them – are not safe to exploit and coerce people in our state,” said Schimel. “When I was sworn in, I put johns on notice. We are coming for you, and for some – we already got you. DOJ’s Human Trafficking Bureau’s arrests this summer will not be the last.” In operations focused in northern and eastern Wisconsin, DCI agents arrested 25 individuals in operations that targeted those seeking children for sexual purposes and “johns,” individuals who were soliciting prostitutes. Some of those arrested
were knowingly seeking 14and 15-year-old children for sexual purposes. “This investigation is a great example of local agencies working with Wisconsin DOJ-DCI, in a joint investigation and managing an operation targeting human trafficking in our state,” said Vilas County Sheriff Joseph Fath. “This operation was coordinated in a very smooth and organized manner. The results were very successful and all of our staff working with DOJ came away with a lot of knowledge that can be used in future investigations.” Those arrested were charged with soliciting a prostitute, pandering, soliciting a child for prostitution, attempted second degree sexual assault of a child, child enticement, using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, exposing a child to harmful material, and exposing a child to harmful narrations. “The Door County District Attorney’s Office was involved in a multiagency law enforcement operation targeting individuals trying to sexually exploit children and individuals soliciting adult prosti-
tutes,” said Door County District Attorney Colleen C. Nordin. “Investigating and prosecuting these cases is a priority for my office. The number of predators interested in sexual contact with minors is shocking and highlighted by the success of these types of operations. Thanks to the outstanding work by our law enforcement partners, we are able to make Door County safer for both our families and the many visitors to this community.” DCI agents also helped the Brown County Sheriff’s Office in the agency’s own anti-human trafficking efforts in July, when the agency arrested 35 individuals during a four-day johns suppression operation in late July. These operations were part of the National Johns Suppression Initiative, a coordinated operation across 17 states and that included 37 law enforcement agencies. The Cook County Sheriff’s Office reports that nationwide, at least 1,020 sex buyers were arrested, 15 individuals face trafficking-related charges, and 81 individuals were recovered and offered services.

Grantsburg village board tightens property security BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
Numerous recent break-ins at taverns and some other locations around Burnett County prompted the village to tighten its security. Police Chief Jeff Schinzing and Public Works Director Chris Bartlett told the Grantsburg board at its Sept. 11 meeting that they replaced old or weak doors on several village properties and were adding more security cameras and other measures. Airport improvements The board took several actions related to improvements at the Grantsburg Municipal Airport. Chris Bartlett said that he had replaced several breakaway landing strip lights along the municipal airport runway, and added LED lights to the airport beacon, so that it is now illuminated and turning. The lights cost $300 but have an expected life of 12 years, he said. The board passed a revised
airport amendment requesting access to its 2015 entitlement funds to spend about $100,000 to seal runway cracks and micro-surface the Grantsburg Airport. That process extends the runway life about eight years. The board and the pilots agree that the longer-term plan is to spend about $1.3 million to rebuild the runway foundation and add a new surface, using airport entitlement funds and additional funds from the Federal Aviation Agency. The local match is five percent, which the informal pilots association has pledged to cover through increased lease fees at the airport hangars. The balance of 2015’s $150,000 funds may be spent on sealing cracks on other airport asphalt surfaces like aprons and taxiways. The board also approved sending a request to the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics (BOA) to loan its $150,000 in 2014 entitlement funds to another Wisconsin Airport rather than lose those funds. At a
future date, the airport that accepts the funds will repay the loan to Grantsburg when it takes on a big project. The BOA arranges and administers the loans among airports.
Other board actions In other actions, the board: • Learned from Schinzing that the state highway department plans to re-locate the stop sign for the right turn lane at the Pine Street/State Road 70 intersection to give southbound Pine Street drivers more notice that they must come to a full stop before turning right onto 70. Schinzing said the intersection has had many close calls from people not stopping for the stop sign. • Library Director Kristina Kelley-Johnson told the board Grantsburg Library is sponsoring rental of the “Imagination Playground” system at Grantoberfest on Saturday as a means of testing the system’s popularity, durability and cleanliness before purchasing its own set.
Eating more like a vegan LISA ERICKSON WILD CHOW

• Approved street closures for July 2018 Watercross. • Heard from Grantsburg Fire Association Board representative Diane Barton that the fire department has 17 full members and three more who will remain on probationary training status until June. They need more firefighters. As of the previous meeting on Aug. 21, the fire department had 58 calls for the year compared to 62 for all of 2016. “With all the recent calls, we have surpassed last year’s total,” she said. The Grantsburg fire truck that was damaged in a June rollover is in process of being repaired she reported. It is in the body shop now and will next be delivered to the Cummins engine repair facility. Barton said the association’s insurance policy will cover the repairs, minus deductible. • Approved a request from the Karl Anderson family to close some village streets for about one hour on Thursday, Oct. 12 while a private moving
contractor moves a 44’ x 25’ house from its location along State Road 70 in the village to a vacant lot on North Pine Street. • Denied a request from the nascent pickleball club to paint lines for two courts on village-owned concrete at the former Kozlak property north of the Grantsburg Post Office, on advice of the village insurance provider. • Approved an agreement for mutual aid during disasters with the village of Frederic. Grantsburg already has a written agreement with Siren and seeks to formalize similar agreements with Milltown, Webster and St. Croix Falls. It allows villages to use each other’s equipment in times of emergency, such as when Frederic brought its loader and crew to Grantsburg after the straight-line windstorm on July 1, 2011.
Vukmir keynotes Burnett GOP dinner in Siren SIREN—State Senator Leah Vukmir (R-Brookfield) delivered the keynote address at the Burnett County Republican Party Constitution Day Dinner on Thursday, Sept. 14 at the Northwoods Crossing Event Center in Siren. Currently serving as second-in-command in the Wisconsin State Senate, Sen. Vukmir handily won the straw poll at the Republican state convention in May as the grassroots favorite to oppose Tammy Baldwin in the 2018 U.S.
Senate race. She officially announced her candidacy for that seat on Thursday, Sept. 7. “I believe we need to bring some of Wisconsin’s proven, consistent conservative leadership to Washington, and I believe I can do that,” Vukmir remarked. “DC desperately needs senators who know how to make bold reform happen like we’ve done together in Wisconsin.”

Tips to help someone who is feeling suicidal If a situation arises where you are planning to speak with someone regarding their thoughts of suicide/depression, here are some suggestions when talking to him/her: • Listen. • Be sympathetic, non-judgmental and accepting. • Reassure the person that help is available and the suicidal feelings are temporary. • If the person says things like, “I’m so depressed, I can’t go on,” ask them: “Are you having thoughts of suicide?” You are not putting ideas in their head, you are showing you are concerned and that it’s OK for them to share their pain with you. But don’t: • Argue with the suicidal person. • Lecture on the value of life. • Promise confidentiality. • Offer ways to fix their problems. It is reported that most suicidal people wish there was an alternative to committing suicide, but they just can’t see one. This only reinforces the need to be proactive, talk with those around you and offer assistance in getting needed help. If you suspect someone is struggling with depression or may be contemplating suicide, please speak with them. Encourage them to seek help and remind them that help is available. Help lines: • Burnett County Crisis Line: 1-888-636-6655 • National Suicide Prevention Helpline: 1-800273-TALK (8255) • Call 911 for those in immediate crisis. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

Widiker takes down a monster buck
News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
Remember last week I mentioned an adorable black-and-tan, seven-month-old female hound? Well, her owner never stepped forward to claim her, so Gidget is now available for adoption! I can’t say enough good things about this g young gal. She is such a y ssweet and happy pup that w would make a wonderful a addition to a great family. G Gidget is very intelligent a and aware of everything a around he. She also likes tto be in your lap if she c can. In the words of one o of our volunteers, she is Gidgeta just about perfect. I would add: Gidget is a lover, not a hunter. Just look at that sweet face in her picture. If you would like to meet her, stop by and say hello! The three bulldog X’s have not been reclaimed and will be available for adoption shortly. We had a young husky as well as a lab whose owners have been found. As I am writing this, another new stray arrived from the Webb Lake area, a hound mix. Dogs available and still hoping to be noticed include Boris, Marvel, Ariel, Missy and Gidget. In the kitties, sweet and petite Evi is still waiting as are Gemini, Aries and Aquarius. Some of you may already be aware of “Star’s Fund.” Donations designated to it are used to treat sick and injured animals that come through our doors. Star was a shepherd mix who arrived at the shelter as a stray and needed surgery to have bladder stones removed. Star stayed with the shelter and for many years was our greeter. When Star passed, a fund was set up in her name to help other animals in need, just like her. Why am I telling you this? Twice this last week we had strays come in that needed immediate vet attention. A beautiful young husky with porcupine quills in her face and a sweet chocolate lab mix that was hit by a car. This poor gal has a broken right pelvic bone. We have treated others recently as well, because that’s what we do. If you would like to donate to Star’s Fund that would be awesome! Quote: “When you’ve looked in the eyes of a dumped/left behind animal and wanted to erase all their hurt and pain, while wanting at the same time to hurt the human that caused it, you just might be an animal rescuer.” Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, Don’t Shop”! If you are interested in adopting Gidget or another animal from The Humane Society of Burnett County shelter, please call (715) 866-4096 or visit the website at www.hsburnettcty.org.

Zebra mussel update SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GOVERNMENT CENTER— Studies show that while zebra mussels can be detrimental to lakes, there are limits to where they can thrive. The amount of calcium in the water is a key component to whether or not they will survive. Lakes are placed into one of three categories when it comes to zebra mussels: suitable, borderline suitable, and not suitable. According to the Wisconsin
DNR website “zebra mussels are an invasive species that have inhabited Wisconsin waters and are displacing native species, disrupting ecosystems, and affecting citizens’ livelihoods and quality of life. They hamper boating, swimming, fishing, hunting, hiking, and other recreation, and take an economic toll on commercial, agricultural, forestry, and aquacultural resources.” Zebra mussels have been found in Middle Mackenzie Lake, a lake classified as suit-
able. The Natural Resources board during the September meeting was not surprised, but, of course, disappointed. The board said the amount is small, so alarm is not up. Eight to 10 adult zebra mussels were recently found in Big Mackenzie, a lake classified as a borderline suitable. There are at least 30 lakes deemed suitable for zebra mussels in Burnett County, some of which being Yellow Lake, Clam Lake, Lipsett Lake, Spirit Lake and Big Trade Lake. Vis-
it http://burnettcounty.com/ DocumentCenter/View/6688 for a complete list. During conversation about zebra mussels, the board discussed that in Burnett County the goal for now is containment of the invasive species. Unfortunately, at the moment researches do not know of a method to kill zebra mussels that are in the lake. For now, they are stressing to boaters to take the proper precautions when moving from lake to lake. The Wisconsin DNR states,
“Once zebra mussels are established in a water body, very little can be done to control them. It is therefore crucial to take all possible measures to prevent their introduction in the first place. Some of the preventative and physical control measures include physical removal, industrial vacuums, backflushing.” For more helpful tools about zebra mussel prevention, visit http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/ invasives/fact/zebra.html.

• •
•
near power lines. Use care when raising augers and grain truck beds near lines. Keep equipment at least 10 feet from power lines at all times. Inspect the height of farm equipment and know clearance. Always lower extensions when moving loads. Never move a power line out of the way or raise it for clearance. If a power line is sagging
or low, call us at 800-4210283. If contact is made with a power line, stay inside the equipment. Warn others to stay away and call 911. Do not exit until the utility crew says it is safe. (The only reason to exit is if the equipment is on fire. In this case, jump with feet together, then hop away. Do not touch ground and equipment at the same time.) ~ from Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative

'They played with heart' BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
LUCK—“They played with heart” is what Siren volleyball coach Kristin Kosloski said following the game at Luck last Thursday. Even though the Dragons lost 3-0, the game scores show a different side and if one wasn't at the game, you missed a very exciting and emotional contest. The game scores were 25-18, 25-18 and 25-19, a very close match considering the powerhouse that Luck is this year. “The Luck game … WOW,” exclaimed Coach Kosloski. “I was just so excited. It feels like it is all coming together. We played as a team, not individuals.” The Dragons jumped out to a 3-0 edge early in game one. Luck

Dragons knock off Raiders BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
BRUCE—The Siren Dragons got back on the winning track with a solid 44-6 win over the Bruce Red Raiders last Friday night. “We played really well at the start of the game,” reported coach Ryan Karsten. “The first quarter was our best quarter of the year. It was nice to get Dolan Highstrom back from injury for five plays, gaining 150 yards and scoring two touchdowns, including runs of 85 and 69 for touchdowns. We did lose him again to a shoulder injury.” “My offensive line really played well. Noah Koball, Gavyn Anton, Russell Cook, Lukas Hunter, and Sequoia Bellanger really played well. They help us average 8.8 yards per carry on the night. Continuing from last week, my defensive lineman have really been playing well. Sequoia, Gavyn, and Lukas have been leading our defensive charge, along with senior middle linebacker Noah Koball. We have figured out how to play great team defense and I hope that continues this week against Winter for our homecoming.” Tanner Buck, Tyler Anton, Logan Meagher and Jordan Webster all scored touchdowns for the Dragons. Buck, Anton, Meagher and Webster rushed for 71, 62, 57 and 43 yards respectively. Gavyn Anton led the defense with 13 tackles. Lukas Hunter, Cordell Fischer and Sequoia Bellanger each had nine tackles apiece with Trevor Stanford getting eight and Noah Koball seven. The Dragons host Winter this Friday at 7 p.m.
would tie the game. Up to the 13-13 tie, the teams had been tied five times with the Dragons moving ahead each
time. The Dragons were seemingly everywhere, making digs and setting up their front line hitters repeatedly. Abby Kosloski got a block to get the score to 7-5 Siren. An ace by Jade Horstman made it 11-9. Luck went on a 7-0 run to go ahead 18-13 and maintained their play gradually winning by eight. Game two saw the Dragons fall behind as much as 7-1 and 10-3, but their tenacity got them back into the game, tieing the score at 13. Siren scored on a number of kills and an ace by Amy Stanford. Luck went up by two, but a kill and a deflection knotted the game at 15. Another 7-0 Luck put them up 22-15. The Dragons got three,
but the Cardinals also scored three to take game two. A close game three then ensued as neither team was ahead by more than three until Luck scored on an ace to take a 22-18 edge late in the contest. All through this game, once again, the Dragons were answering on the Luck returns, forcing the Cardinals into uncharacteristic mistakes. Abby Kosloski's kill narrowed the gap to 22-19, but that ended up being all the Dragons could muster as a long return by the Dragons, a Luck kill and a short Dragon return ended the game and the match. Said Coach Kosloski of the game against the Cardinals, “It was so exciting to watch. It was over 90 degrees in the gym and I had goosebumps!”
Tigers drop Lakers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
SHELL LAKE—The Webster Tigers got back on track, defeating the Shell Lake Lakers last Friday night by a 35-7 margin. The Tiger defense held the Lakers scoreless until the last period of play. “Shell Lake played us very tough for the first quarter,” said head coach Andy Smith. “They have a proud program with three state championships to their credit. We were able to get the offense moving late in the first quarter with the offensive line opening up giant holes for our running backs to run through. Coach Anderson did a great job with Matt Buffington, getting him ready for his first varsity start as quarterback and Matt was able to execute the offensive effectively hitting Cody Peterson for his first varsity passing touchdown.” Hunter Gustafson got the first score of the game on a 63 yard jaunt in the first quarter. He also got the two point conversion and the Tigers were up 8-0 at the end of one quarter
of play. The second quarter saw the Tigers rack up three scores. The first was on a six yard run by Trenton Wols, the second on a 37yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by Hunter Gustafson, and the third on a 35-yard touchdown run by Wols. Webster led 29-0 at the half. The third quarter is when Buffington got his first pass completed for a touchdown on a three yard toss to Cody Peterson. It was 35-0 after three quarters. Shell Lake got their only score of the game in the last quarter on a 51 yard run by Carter Lawrence. Buffington led the Tigers in passing, going eight for 12, 27 yards and one touchdown. Hunter Gustafson rushed 15 times for 268 yards and one score. Trenton Wols ran 11 times for 85 yards and two scores. On the defense, Wols, H. Gustafson and Andrew Moritz each had five tackles. “Defensively,” said Coach Smith, “our linebackers are getting better at playing downhill
and attacking the line of scrimmage once they get their reads. Austin Moser did a nice job at linebacker since moving from the d-line. The defensive line chewed up double teams
and made it easier on our linebackers and secondary to fly to the ball. With the win we are once step closer to reaching our goal of making the playoffs.”

Savannah Trittelwitz, Mirlande Brande and Hope McKinley were the rest of the Grantsburg runners. “Saturday morning was a good for running,” said Coach Lisa McKinley of the Pirates. “The competition from the bigger schools allows us to stretch ourselves. The Pirates continue to push themselves and work hard.” “Gracie Gerber is continues to be a strong runner. She works hard with a persistent pursuit to lead and develop her ability. Joey Duncan, Joseph Ohnstad, Jared Lee, and Trevor Vollendorf also have the relentless drive and passion to grow into mature racers. Their
perseverance to reach another PR inspires and drives the rest of the team. Theodore Vitale, Cole Reichstadt, Savanna Trittelwitz and Mirlande Brande are new this year. Each of them presses on to enhance the team and improve their own form and PR.” “Connor DeTienne and Hope McKinley have been working through physical limitations, but their continued dedication to be consistent with their training motivates and encourages this around them. “Overall, I am thankful for the growth I see in each of these athletes. I am excited to watch their continued improvement through the rest of the season,” concluded Coach McKinley. Said Roy Ward, coach of Webster, “The boys ran much better than at Rice Lake. We had an off meet there. So I wondered what happened to
Mason. No really, I didn't see him at the two-mile. That little stinker ran well enough to beat Joey.

If it isn't bad enough that little pesky Hunter has to push Joey, now Mason too? I got news for you boys, you are only fueling Joey for what is to come. Stay tuned to see how
this battle ends. Another racer who fought back was Dustin. It was nice to have our kicker back. He and Kerik are also making each other better. Kerik ran one of his best races of the season. “I had a lot of fun teasing the girls before the race in hopes of making them think positive about going out and kicking some competition. I don't think my strategy worked very well. I think they were much like the boys were at Rice Lake. Just a little flat. Get ready for a mean coach at the Roy Griak. Jenna's shins have been giving her trouble, but Saturday was a good day for her. She raced one of her best times. Her side kick, Ali also ran well. Kaley has been very consistent. I would like to see her, Ali, Jenna and Trinity run the first mile of the Griak together and encourage each other.”
Grantsburg, Webster run at Rice Lake Invitational BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
RICE LAKE—Last Tuesday, both Grantsburg and Webster ran at the Rice Lake Invitational Cross Country Meet on the Barron County Campus in Rice Lake. The Webster girls came in 11th place with Glenwood City grabbing first. St. Croix Falls placed sixth with both Grantsburg and Unity having incomplete teams. “We raced six in the varsity,” reported Coach Roy Ward in regards to
the girls. Sam (Nelson), Sydney (Raschke), Ali (Moritz) and Trinity (Olguin) all had solid race performances. Heaven (Olguin) wins the most outstanding race for the girls. She looked really good tonight.” Jenna Gomulak and Kaley Bergstrom also ran for the Tigers. Nelson came in seventh place for the girls with Raschke placing 46th, Ali Moritz 55th, Jenna Gomulak 68th and Trinity Olguin rounded out the top five. Gracie Gerber was the
only runner for Grantsburg. She came in sixth place (22:01.6). “It was a good meet,” said Pirate Coach Lisa McKinley. “It was quite the weather change from last week, but we will use it as an opportunity to grow and train. The girls ran hard and I was pleased with their effort. Gracie placed in the top six. That was good to see. I am encouraged by the rest of the girls and their perseverance. They are working hard!” On the boys' side, Grantsburg finished
seventh as a team and Webster tenth. Joseph Duncan (18:24.4) finished seventh overall with Joseph Ohnstad close behind at fourteenth (18:48.7). Jared Lee, Theordore Vitale and Trevor Vollendorf were part of the scoring five. Cole Reichstadt finished the Pirate contingent. “Joey Duncan finished first for the team and achieved his career PR. Joseph Ohnstad finished just behind and established a course,” continued Coach McKinley. “These two continue to
push each other to get better. I see that in the rest of the team as well. The guys are always striving to better themselves and each other.” “Rice Lake is a big meet,” explained Coach Ward. “Lots of teams and competition. The course is pretty flat which typically leads to some good race times. That wasn't the case today for many of the Tigers. The boys didn't run well tonight. Thankfully there wasn't anything on the line. Danny had a great race. He really went out hard
and finished the best he could. He got a personal best time of 27:01. I was also impressed with Sam. He started out slow, but made up a lot of ground. He has a nice natural stride which makes it look effortless.” Hunter Erickson (18:33.1) finished 11th overall for the Tigers with Joey Formanek (19:08) at 20th. Mason Schaaf, Kerik Stubbe and Edwin Janssen were the five scorers for Webster. Dustin Kern and Landon Malsom were next.
Tigers faced tough competition in SCF, Unity BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
ST. CROIX FALLS—The Webster Tiger volleyball team lost to the St. Croix Saints last Tuesday, but showed great improvement as their reserves stepped up their game as injured starters are in the midst of becoming healthy. The game scores vs the Saints were 14-25, 19-25 and 17-25. Webster was up 3-2 when a short return knotted the game at three. The Saints moved ahead 6-3 and maintained that margin throughout much of the remainder of the game. Game one ended on a kill by Allie McCurdy. The Tigers went up 6-3 in game two. A kill and a block by Taylor Howe powered Webster to that
margin. The teams were tied at eight, nine and 10 before the Saints moved ahead by three. A kill by Howe and a long service return by the Saints made it 14-13 St. Croix. An 8-0 St. Croix run moved them out to a 21-13 advantage. A 6-3 Webster run narrowed the gap to 24-19 but a return which hit the ceiling ended the Tiger come back. After falling behind 5-0 in game three, Saints mistakes enabled the Tigers to score points and trail 9-7 at one point. Three St. Croix points widened the lead to 12-7. Later, a kill by Taylor Howe made the score 17-11 for the Saints and another Webster kill had it at 19-14 St. Croix. The Saints finished the game on a 6-5 pace. Howe had 11 kills, six assists,
two aces and a block for the game. Summer Winkler had four kills, two aces, a block and six digs. Coach Janssen was excited for the progress the reserves showed in stepping up their game and making positive progress while her injured starters were getting back into playing condition. Loss to Unity Against the Unity Eagles last Thursday, the Tigers lost a close match by a 3-2 margin. The game scores were 25-18, 17-25, 17-25, 25-22 and 13-15.

Pirates cruise past EPC in home opener BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
GRANTSBURG—“After the bye week and not having a home game until week five, our team was ready to go and play in front of the home crowd,” Pirates head coach Adam Hale said after a 48-15 win over the Elmwood/Plum City Wolves. “You couldn’t ask for a better first quarter in all phases of the game. The offensive line (Austin Louis, Hauk Moritz, Kalvin Watt, Tanner Berger, Ramsey Clark and Mikel Louis) really did a great job of opening some massive holes the first quarter and John and Leo Chenal capitalized with some nice runs.” The Pirates put on a show in the first quarter for the hometown crowd, racking up 41 points while holding the Wolves scoreless. The most amazing part of those 41 points was they scored them all with running just five offensive plays — yes, five. Grantsburg scored on their very first play every time they were on offense in the first quarter. Plus, John Chenal picked off a pass and took it to the house for a touchdown. The Wolves received the opening kick and moved the ball well before the Pirate defense kicked in and shut them down. On their first play from offense Leo Chenal took it 65 yards to paydirt and put them on the scoreboard with 7:18 left in the first quarter. The point after failed, making it 6-0. EPC had a bad snap over the head of their punter on their next series, giving the Pirates the ball at the 11-yard line. Leo Chenal took it in for the score on Grantsburg’s first play. The two-point conversion failed, 12-0. Things didn’t get better for the Wolves as John Chenal picked off a pass and took it 27 yards for the score. Kalvin

Bryce Roufs (32) charges up the field in the Pirates’ win over EPC Friday night.
Watt busted through the line for the twopoint conversion to make it a 20-0 game with 4:41 left in the quarter. The Pirates shut down the Wolves again, forcing them to punt. On the first play John Chenal took the hand-off and ran 50 yards to the endzone. The PAT was good to bring the score to 27-0. Bryce Roufs picked off an EPC pass and ran it back to the 10-yard line. And, (are you keeping track?) on the Pirates’ fourth offensive play of the night, quarterback Luke Anderson threw a beautiful pass to David MacKean in the back corner of the endzone for a touchdown. The PAT by Jacob VanWatermuelen was good to go up 34-0. Grantsburg’s defense forced EPC to punt again, and on the very next play — you guessed it— John Chenal took the ball up the middle 47 yards for the score.
The PAT was good to end the quarter at 41-0. The Pirates would score once more, early in the second quarter on a twoyard run by John Chenal. The PAT was good to end the Pirate scoring at 48-0. Coach Hale sent in the reserves to finish the game, giving the younger players some important varsity experience. EPC never quit and punched it in for the score twice — once in the second quarter and again in the fourth to make the final score 48-15. “With only playing a quarter, I was really proud of the starters and how they encouraged and helped coach the younger guys for the rest of the night,” Hale said. “It showed the quality of kids we have.” The Pirates racked up 302 total yards, with 246 of those coming on the ground
and 56 passing yards. John Chenal had 113 rushing yards on four carries and three touchdowns followed by Leo Chenal with 76 yards on two carries and two touchdowns. Levi Miller ran the ball eight times for 51 yards, while David Nelson had 34 yards on 10 tries. Anderson was three for four in passing for 56 yards. John Chenal’s three touchdowns keeps him at the top of the list tied for the most TDs this season in the state with 16. He is also leading the list for most average rushing yards per game with 236.8. “It really was a team effort out there. Everyone executed and as a result we put up some good numbers,” senior captain John Chenal said of the game. “But there are some people specifically that need recognition, and that is our O-line. These guys have been solid for us up front and without their efforts, Leo and I would not be able to put up the same numbers. They often don’t get brought up but I feel as though they have been the real MVPs this season.” On the defensive side, it was Gabe Chenal leading the way with seven solo tackles and three assists. Mikel Louis and John Chenal had three solos and five assists each, with Leo Chenal recording four of each. Miller and Tyler Stevens both tallied four solos and three assists. Freshman Isaac Lee had two solos along with four assists and Ben Berglund had six assists. “Defensively after their opening drive, we settled in and played good football. Gabe Chenal, Bryce Roufs and Tyler Stevens keep improving and had solid nights,” the coach said. “Saint Croix Falls comes to town next and we will need to be ready as it’s always a tough fight with the Saints.” The Pirates host the Saints this Friday with kick-off at 7 p.m.
Dragons unable to shut down Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
SIREN—The Siren Dragons played host to the Grantsburg Pirates last Tuesday night and despite a third set surge, were unable to stop the Pirate attack falling 0-3 by scores of 12-25, 11-25 and 18-25. “Siren has great senior leadership and athleticism. They have some solid hitters,” Pirates coach Deb Alla-
man-Johnson said. “Thankfully, our serving and offense was tough enough to keep them off balance so they were not able to use their strong attack as much.” The two teams exchanged points back and forth early in the first set, even tied at 10-10 at one point. But Grantsburg dug in their heels, took control and never looked back, taking the first two sets behind some very tough serving and big hits at

the net. In the third set, Siren jumped out to an early 7-3 lead with scrappy defense and great net play by Abby Kosloski. Grantsburg battled their way back into the game, eventually winning 25-18. Kosloski and Julia Cederberg led the Dragons in kills with three each on the night, followed by Karlee Sybers with two. Amy Stanford was the assist leader with eight. She also had two ace serves. Kosloski led the team in blocks as well with three, followed by Sybers with two. For Grantsburg, it was Kenna Johnson and Randi Siebenthal leading the charge with seven kills apiece. Brooke Quimby and Linda Harmon were next on the list with four each. The Pirates had 31 kills as a team. Charli Siebenthal had 17 assists and Olivia Oachs five. Grantsburg had a great night serving with Jenna McNally tallying five aces and Randi Siebenthal four. The team had 13 total. On defense, McNally led in digs with 14. Linda Harmon had six and Randi Siebenthal
with five. “All 14 players contributed good things to the victory and I’m proud of the team for being flexible to adapt to random lineup changes,” Allaman-Johnson added.
Grantsburg will head to Unity on Thursday night to begin the second half of conference play. The Dragons will travel to St. Croix Falls to take on the Saints on Tuesday. Game time is 7:15 for both matches.

[Normally, I’ll be writing a column that centers around sports in this column space, but initially I want to introduce (or reintroduce) my family and myself to you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity.] Chris Daughtry finished fourth in the fifth season of American Idol and is the third highest selling contestant ever behind Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. He came from a small town in Inside the New Jersey and always wanted to impact the Huddle world with his music. Bob Rombach His wish came true after gaining immense fame and fortune from his success with the show. It seems he may have ended up with mixed emotions about his journey judging by his song called Home. I’m going home Back to the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I’m not running from No, I think you got me all wrong I don’t regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old So I’m going home
My family and I traveled a similar path. I graduated from Grantsburg High School in 1995, went off to college, got married, then moved back to Burnett County in 2001. We built a home and started building a life. One day after ten years in, my wife Renae and I talked about where we wanted to be in five years and we concluded that we needed to seek greener pastures. So, our family of five picked up and moved south to a northwestern suburb of Chicago. We spent five years there scheming and dreaming. Trying to attain this “perfect life.” But we soon noticed that we felt just a little, I guess, lonely. We only had each other, for the most part. There was no community to celebrate things with us. When things went wrong, nobody was there to console us or walk through it with us. Everyone seemed so busy. So competitive. Not the good kind, either. The kind that can build a team or make each other better. Often, it was the bad kind where you felt second class if you weren’t driving the new car, wearing the right clothes, or living in the right neighborhood. We quickly realized that we missed the community we had with our friends and neighbors from the Northwoods. That’s not to say everyone was like that, on the contrary, we met a lot of great people and families, but there still
wasn’t that thing, that spirit, that glue that holds everything together. When we moved to Illinois we thought it would be great for our three kids. The opportunities a big town can provide must be ten times what our small town can offer, right? On the surface, it is true, there are more things to try out for, but the problem came when we realized there’s not a lot of opportunity to do multiple things. Specialization is huge at a young age. Camps, clinics, private coaching, you name it, if it could make someone money, it was available and expected. And it was expensive. My daughter had to try out for the seventh-grade volleyball team. She was the new girl, she had no real experience, and with only two spots available and thirty girls trying out for them, she didn’t make the team. My two boys love baseball and both made travel teams. Great, right? It cost us $1,000 each to play, plus equipment, hotel rooms and all sorts of other expenses. They were eleven and eight years old at the time. That’s a lot of dough for kids who don’t even need deodorant yet! The real problem, though, is there’s not a lot of room, especially as you grow older, to participate in more than one sport or activity. For example, my older son’s baseball schedule went from just after Thanksgiving to the middle of July! I remember when I was
a kid the sport I played depended on the seasons. Five years (and one more kid) later, Renae and I again talked about what we wanted in five years and with all our hearts we wanted to move back home. To the place where we belong. Where the love from and for our community was always enough for us. It was time to go home. Since moving back about a month ago, my freshman daughter is playing and loving volleyball, made the swing choir and secured a lead role in the school play. My boys are playing flag football, have met the varsity basketball, baseball and football coaches and are loving living up here. We now realize that the opportunities our small town provides are ten times that of the big city. When we sent a message on Facebook letting people know our plan to move back, one of our friends from down there said, “How exciting for you guys! I know you have physically been here for five years but I don’t think your hearts ever fully made the move.” I don’t think I could’ve said it better. Thank you for welcoming my family back. We have been overwhelmed by your kindness and open arms. We are looking forward to creating new memories together with you all. Our community. Our home.

But for two weeks in either June or July and one week in August, we came up here.” Deering explained that with seven kids in the family, driving to some popular places in northern Minnesota was a bit much. “For the same scenery, great fishing and a shorter drive, you can come to Devils Lake,” he said. He reflected fondly on two-hour car trips in a station wagon from St. Paul to the old Lucky Strike Resort on Devils Lake with all his siblings. “Yeah, all seven of us would be rolling around in the back and all the gear was strapped to the top the car,” he said with a smile. The family vacations waned after Deering graduated high school. But, he had learned the area so well and became such a
regular face over the years, he began making his own trips at the age of 16. He was there to fish. Still a teenager in 1978, Deering was engaged and spending even more time up at Devils Lake. He bought a trailer, borrowed it to friends and family until many of them began populating the campground year after year. “It became a glorified “Cheers,” this whole place. “Over the years, friends and family would visit and I’d say about 80 percent of them have bought trailers,” he said. Now, one cannot walk down the many rows of trailers without passing a few owned by longtime friends or family of Deering. Deering said it is a safe estimate that 18 to 20 friends and family members now enjoy several weekends of their summers at Devils Lake. That’s one third of the resort. Even his two kids, now 23 and 36, continue to visit the area. “People ask me why would you want to go on vacation to a place where you know everyone? Because everybody’s attitude changes up here.” This unique, close-knit group at Devils Lake have built their own paradise, it seems.
At one point, Deering even considered buying the resort but his wife, Maggie told him, “all you’ll do is hunt and fish.” So, instead, they bought a cabin nearby. The cabin sits on 24 acres of prime hunting land. However, when he and his wife were looking for a spot to buy, they decided it could not be too far from the resort itself. “My wife would get sick at the idea of being far from all our family and friends at the resort so we stayed close,” he said. Having vacationed in the area for many years now, Deering knows the area pretty well. He mentioned the last available lot on the lake (separate from Devils Lake Resort) was sold last year. It is no secret lake front property is expensive so with a nod to the resort owners he said, “Devils Lake Resort is an affordable way to be on a great lake. Most people can’t afford to live on lake like this.” It’s a barefoot, wave at anybody kind of community and Deering seems to know everyone. “The beauty of this lake is that it’s crystal clear and clean. I can catch fish anytime of the year.”

Youthful Bob Harlow sets sights on the Governor’s office BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
SIREN—Wisconsin Candidate for Governor Bob Harlow of Barneveld brought his campaign to Siren earlier this month to introduce himself to Burnett County Democrats at their annual dinner and assure them he is a bona fide candidate for the post. Harlow, 25, is the first Democrat to announce his candidacy for the 2018 gubernatorial election against Republican incumbent Scott Walker. “I think our state system is broken. Our current governor’s sole mission in government has been to take money out of the public, out of infrastructure, out of education and funnel it to his rich friends. The very wealthiest in Wisconsin and in our country are getting richer through direct government intervention.” Harlow usually works in product development in computer-related fields. “Right now, campaigning around the state is my fulltime job,” he said during an interview earlier in the day. Harlow is not a candidate to be taken lightly. He’s not in this as a lark. His positions on the issues and his reasons behind them are carefully constructed, and he speaks confidently. Harlow grew up in a family woodworking business about an hour west of Madison. “My mom writes and teaches. I am a third generation Wisconsinite. Three of my grandparents came here from Iowa and the fourth from Missouri. My parents grew up in Madison, where three of my grandparents were professors at the university,” he says. His first love was music. He played in the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestra for three high school years and one of his orchestral compositions was premiered by the group in 2010. Another early foray was politics. His
first experience was campaigning for renowned Republican Senator Dale Schultz. “I learned how much I love going door to door talking to voters. The experience stuck with me strongly,” he said. From a Barneveld High School graduating class of fewer than 30, Harlow’s high grades and top entrance exam
periences, I will to bring an innovative management style to the Governor’s office,” he said. “We need change. Wisconsin is falling behind with the old, stale ideas of our current office holder. “The people of Wisconsin deserve better. Wisconsin people want to see progress in their communities and their state. Democracy is something that needs constant attention to make sure it keeps working properly for everyone. “I have being doing a lot of face-toface contacts, attending half the county fairs in Wisconsin and also going doorto-door. My goal is to meet Wisconsinites all over the state and learn about the issues affecting them and how they feel about the issues. Knowing that allows one to effectively communicate and lead the state forward.”

scores, plus a wide variety of activities and volunteerism, helped him get into prestigious Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA, where he earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Physics. As a senior, the Stanford Office of Technology Licensing filed a provisional patent on his invention with the purpose of creating a personal computer equivalent of the huge computers used in research, drug discovery and drug manufacturing. “Through those and many more ex-
• Better internet. “Fast and reliable internet is not a convenience, it is a necessity. By laying conduit (pipes) for fiber internet under every new and rebuilt roadway, we will bring lightning-fast internet to every home in Wisconsin within a decade.” • Rebuilding roads. “Let’s not kick the can down the road any longer. Let’s build roads and highways to last and also keep up with repairs so that they do not have to be completely rebuilt.” • Healthcare. “As Governor, I will pass strong protections that ensure that women are not charged more than men, end health insurance discrimination by zip code, prevent preexisting condition discrimination through state law, make health insurance plans easier to read and understand, and give all Wisconsinites the option to buy into Badgercare.” • Public schools. “Every Wisconsin kid deserves the opportunity to realize
his or her full potential. That’s why I will make sure that every school in Wisconsin is properly funded regardless of zip code. I will modernize our education system to streamline each educational and career step by providing opportunities for students to pursue college classes, internships and research within the framework of their curriculum. And, I will make sure that public money is only spent on public schools.” • Safe drinking water. “We should test drinking water annually and pass legislation that gives the Governor power to immediately stop polluters if contamination is detected. I will ensure that every Wisconsin resident has clean drinking water by implementing annual tests for heavy metals, petrol-chemicals and dangerous bacteria at the tap. We will pass legislation that grants the Governor power to immediately stop polluters if contamination is discovered. • Improve the justice system. “Tearing apart families by incarcerating nonviolent offenders makes our communities less safe. We must reform prisons that fail to rehabilitate occupants and that instead make them less psychologically stable, turning potentially productive members of society into hardened criminals. As Governor, I will keep Wisconsin safe by both keeping dangerous criminals off our streets and also by keeping peaceful Wisconsinites out of jail.” • Growing Wisconsin businesses. “I want advances in medicine, biotech, energy, agriculture and materials to grow into strong Wisconsin businesses that create good-paying jobs and ship high value exports. I will help Wisconsin businesses grow by awarding competitive grants to small businesses.”

New beginnings
Dave Prince Trade Lake Baptist Church
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall. School has started, football is in full swing, hunting season is fast approaching, new fall TV shows are set to begin, season premieres are soon to air (no more reruns!) and gardens are wrapping up. The time to accomplish home and yard projects before winter is getting shorter. There is so much out there that cries for our attentionand our time. What are we to do? As followers of Christ, as people who have personally trusted in Jesus Christ as our Savior, we sometimes get so caught up in all
the activities, things the world has to offer, we neglect what God says is important. Today, I want to encourage you to consider three areas. First, Psalm 119:16 states â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I delight in Your decrees: I will not neglect Your Word.â&#x20AC;? Are you making time for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word daily in your life? Second, Nehemiah 10:39b says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We will not neglect the house of our God.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The people promised to take care of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Not just the physical building but for those who minister in and for the ministry that occurs

Third, Hebrews 10:25 states â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Are we meeting regularly with other believers, worshipping together, in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word together and encouraging one another face to face?
