Ten year-old referred for felony arson charges JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

SIREN––A 10 year-old has been referred to Social Services with charges of arson to a building, obstructing an officer and harboring or aiding felons for the destruction of evidence. The possible charges stem from a fire at the Siren Trailer Park on the night of Jan. 10. Burnett County Dispatch paged the Siren Fire Department for a home that was fully engulfed in flames at the Siren Trailer Park at 8:22 p.m. Siren Police Sergeant Aaron Bentley was on duty when he heard the call. Bentley arrived on the scene and saw everyone staying at the trailer had been safely evacuated. He secured the scene and made initial contact with Brett Frank Jr., who was living in the home belonging to Kari Eberley and Todd Plaster. Frank said he was putting the kids to bed when he began smelling what he believed to be burnt matches. He went into the front bedroom, where he thought it

A ﬁre at the Siren Trailer Park destroyed this home on the evening of Jan. 10. All four children escaped safely along with the adult that was watching them.

GMS on brief lockdown Tuesday

School board approves resource officer in Siren School

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––The Grantsburg Middle school was under a brief lockdown for 15 to 20 minutes on Tuesday around noon, according to Principal Bill Morrin. “The school went to lockdown after we were notified of a situation that could potentially endanger students and staff,” Morrin said He explained that the main goal was to make sure the staff took care of the students. He added that all staff and students followed procedures for a lockdown. “No one entered the building and no one in the building was in immediate danger,” Morrin said. The Middle School put a message on their Facebook directed to the parents. “MS Parents: Earlier today, GMS went into a lockdown. This situation was based on a precautionary event brought to the attention of the Middle School office. Students and staff followed the appropriate procedure. There was no imminent danger to staff or students during this lockdown.”

SIREN––The heavy onslaught of snow on Monday evening did not stop the Siren School board from having their monthly meeting. The board met and approved Chief Sybers request for a resource officer in the school after a short discussion. The school board voted, with no opposing votes, to have a Siren Police Department officer in the school for 9 hours a week at $20 an hour. The board has budgeted the position for $3,426 for the remainder of the school year. Members of the board said St. Croix Tribal Chief of Police Frank Taylor would also like to come in, but has to run it by the

tribal council before any further decisions can be made. Siren School Board member Mark Pettis said this could be a slippery slope. “I just have a concern paying for police service,” Pettis said. Koball said that Sybers role would be to have lunch with the kids and establish relationships with the students that could be incredibly valuable in the future. “Any time the students see Sybers in the hall, they know something is wrong,” Koball said. “We’re trying something here to show the police officers in a different light.” Koball added that a simple lunch with a police officer could have an enormous affect on how that student see’s the police.

“We have serious issues,” said School Board President, Peggy Moore. “We need to try something.” Pettis said what if this becomes a full-time thing. He gave a hypothetical about a business that is constantly calling police and asked Sybers if they would get an officer stationed at their business. “There’s a backside to that and doesn’t apply to schools,” Sybers said. “We can write a citation to that business or tavern, for too many calls. We can also cut that business’s license for excessive calls.” Siren School Board member Rhonda Highstrom said the difference may be little at first, but SEE SCHOOL BOARD, PAGE 2

Decontamination sites going up at county lakes

WEBSTER SENIORS by Bernie Bolter

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER––The Board of Supervisors voted to amend the Illegal Transportation of Aquatic Plants and Invasive species resolution so people have to use decontamination sites if they are available at the lake. This is a move that is part of a bigger strategy in Burnett County to stop the spread of the zebra mussel which first popped up in Big McKenzie lake in 2016. Now the county is worried about another invasive species, the New Zealand mudsnail. “We’re trying to control the entrance of these boats into the lakes,” said County Conservationist, Dave Ferris. “I’m not so much worried about when they exit the boat. Ideally, we could get them to decontaminate before entering and upon exiting.” Ferris said the penalty for not decontaminating at a lake with a decontamination site will be a fine between $100 and $150, then repeat offenders could be fined up to $500. Decontamination sites are currently at the three McKenzie Lakes, Lipsett and Fish Lake. Little Wood Lake will soon be getting a sign that has flashing lights. Ferris explained the importance of decontaminating boats and all vessels that come in and out because these microorganisms, like the New Zealand mudsnail can live on a dry surface for up to ten days. County Supervisor, Jeremy Gronski

SUBMITTED

Decontamination sites in Burnett County mostly used a diluted bleach mixture. A tablespoon of bleach for every gallon of water is what makes up the decontamination solution.

expressed his concern for the spread of invasive species. He said that his boat and newer ones take on and store an immense amount of water. “If these microorganisms can live seven to ten days outside of water, I can only imagine they can live weeks if in these boats that hold a lot of water,” Gronski said. He continued with explaining how most people take their boat from lake to lake and could be picking up any number of microorganisms and transporting them to different lakes throughout the county and state. The Wisconsin DNR suggests draining all water from the boats motor, livewell, bilge, and transom.

“The cost is about $500 to $800 for the sign, water, bleach and sprayer in total,” Ferris said. “Burnett County Lakes and Rivers Associations are currently the ones responsible for putting up the decontamination signs.” He added that they got a better response from people if they are allowed to decontaminate their boat themselves and were not particularly in favor of somebody else, like a county worker, doing it for them. One of the County Supervisors had a question for Ferris about the language of the amended wording. Ferris assured him he had spoken with County counsel about the language several times and had gotten their approval.

was coming from then asked the oldest child about the smell. The child said it was coming from outside. There was a broken window in the bedroom and Frank put his head near it to see if he could decipher whether it was coming from inside or not. He then went back to the living room where he was folding laundry. Moments later out of the corner of his eye he saw a light. He quickly realized it was not a light but a fire. He went to the bedroom and saw the curtains were fully inflamed. He began yelling that everyone needed to get out of the house. After evacuating the four children he went back in for his dog and a bag of clothes. By this time the trailer was so engulfed in flames and smoke that he had to crawl out. Once he was out, he took the children to a neighbor’s house. Frank told officers his dad was an electrician and he knew the difference between the smell of burnt matches and electrical wiring burning. When Plaster arrived at the scene he spoke with Bentley and explained he believed the fire was electrical. Bentley asked the oldest child about having matches in the house and the child said he did not. Bentley spoke with Frank later that night when he said that Plaster tried to convince him to change his story because he was fearful of

losing custody of his kids. Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers has been involved with many arson cases and has taken classes on investigating them. He arrived at the scene he noticed that the fire seemed to originate in the bedroom and was not electrical. 10-year-old questioned The day after the fire, Siren Police Officer Trevor Thiex interviewed the oldest child with Burnett County Social Service workers in the room. He stated before the interview started, “I did not start the fire. I can’t start a fire that big.” The child claimed he had sustained a small burn on his hand from attempting to open a doorknob. At first he said he was in the kitchen getting a drink and again said he did not have any matches at the house. He later admitted to playing with a lighter and burning sage in the trailer under his bed. Ash from the sage got onto a teddy bear and that is what led to the trailer becoming engulfed in flames and smoke. The child hid the lighter in his father’s bedroom and put the remaining sage in a dumpster next to the trailer. He could face felony criminal charges. Parents of children Sybers interviewed Plaster the next day and Plaster said the fire had to be electrical. He cited that he had been having issues with two

vacuum cleaners. Plaster added there was no way the child started the fire. At this point Sybers realized that Plaster and the children were in contact with Eberley breaking two different no-contact restraining order between Plaster and Eberley and Eberley and the children. Plaster was arrested and booked into the Burnett County Jail. After he was released Plaster began sending messages to Sybers saying that Frank had started the fire. He also sent messages and made calls to the Siren Police Department. He continued to make false statements to residents about Frank. The report states if this continues, Plaster would be charged with harassing a witness. Eberley was charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and disorderly conduct on Dec. 8, 2017, in Burnett County. Later in December she was charged with four counts of child neglect after one of the children told Siren Elementary Principal, Carrie Herman, that their mother was in jail and that no one would be home to watch them. She was arrested on Dec. 19, 2017, for possession of methamphetamine and felony bail jumping in Washburn County. She was in Washburn County jail the night of the fire. The Burnett County Social Services will review the case and decide on the charges.

We are back! We had our monthly meeting on Thursday. Mark your calendars: we decided we will once again have our 500 tournament on April 28. All you snowbirds, plan so you can be back in time for our party. If anyone cares to donate cash or items we can use for the Silent Auction, we would appreciate it. You can drop anything off at the center and put my name on the items. Thank you. Speaking of Dime Bingo, it is played every Tuesday at 1 p.m. They have started something new on Dime Bingo. On the last game of the day, they put a dollar in the pot and whoever bingos, get the entire pot. This week, Darrald Doriott was the lucky winner. I believe we had 22 players so Darrald got $22 - not bad. Congratulations! The cancer bingo party will be held at Tesora on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 25. This is a fun time to be with friends and make a donation to the cancer fund. The committee has lots of door prizes. Our 500 winners were: Wade Rufsholm, Susie Hughes. Marion Obszany, John Angell. Elwyn got the 9 bid. Spade winners were: Tony Rutter, Sue Christensen, Jim Anderson, Sue Newberger and Steve Wenthe. Brittini Hughes and Dwayne Bentley shared the 9 bid.

have a huge significance after a few weeks. “The kids could be scared or nervous around him the first time he walks through the halls or sits in a class, but two weeks later they will probably be much more comfortable with him and that’s huge,” Highstrom said. Siren Superintendent Kevin Shetler added that the district can keep track of the data and re-visit the topic in the fall if the board doesn’t like the results of adding the resource officer. Koball and Sybers said they would discuss the logistics of the position later this week. In other news: • The school board accepted a Shop donation from Micah Daniels of a 3D printer, wood lathe and trolley jack equipment. • Associate Principal’s Imhoff and Koball have re-structured the middle school study hall, so that students that are failing two or more classes will be placed in a study hall with less students and more individualized learning. Imhoff and Koball will look at the results at the end of the school year. • 10 different policies were approved on the first reading, board members were advised to look over the policies because at next month’s meeting they will be approved for the 2nd reading and that’s final. • The Athletic Cod of Ethical Conduct for fans was ammended from saying fans that “are under the influence of alcohol” to fans “believed to be under the influence of alcohol.” • The board also looked at a proposal from the Siren Bus Company. The company is looking for a five year agreement instead of a two year agreement, which is what they have signed in the past.

Tourism grant awarded to promote Namekagon SPOONER—Four counties along the Namekagon River are teaming up with the National Park Service to promote a marketing campaign aimed at bringing visitors to the area during the spring and fall seasons. With help from a $39,500 Joint Effort Marketing (JEM) grant from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, “Namekagon River: Wisconsin’s Moving National Park” will highlight the many outdoor recreation opportunities the Namekagon River offers throughout the year. The campaign will run through December 2018, concurrent with the 50th anniversary of the river being named a Wild & Scenic River. “Research shows that travelers give Wisconsin high marks for outdoor recreation. We are thrilled to support this campaign, which will raise the profile of a nationally recognized river in the heart of the Northwoods,” said Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett. “This grant will not only promote one of Wisconsin’s great assets, but will also create a positive economic impact across four counties in Northwestern Wisconsin.” Wisconsin’s Moving National Park will focus on popular activities on the river, including kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Grant funds will go towards digital, print, social, outdoor and trade show marketing. The campaign is expected to attract over 2,250 tourists to the region, generating an estimated $193,000 in visitor spending to the area. “We are excited for the opportunity to shine the spotlight on the Namekagon River, part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, during the 2018 year.” said Washburn County Tourism Association Executive Director Michelle Martin. “The Namekagon River is one of our greatest natural treasures in Northwest Wisconsin. We have a great team in place with representatives from Bayfield, Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn Counties, in addition to the National Park Service working together for this project.

Whew, that was close The big game has its two teams and the only connection the Vikings have to it is that it will be held on their field. They almost had the ideal situation to win the Lombardi trophy, but those crazed Philadelphia fans were the ones celebrating on Sunday night. (More on them later.) In the AFC I was really hoping the Jacksonville Jaguars were going to win, just because I am sick of the New England Patriots dynasty. It makes me mad that Tom Brady is 40 years old and headed to what could be his 6th Superbowl title. Also, as a child my first favorite team was Jacksonville because we watched some video in school about jaguars and I was immediately hooked. A few years later peer pressure and the Packers Sentinel winning the Superbowl made me change my loyalties forever. Editor But alas Bill Belichick once Jonathan Richie again wiggled his way into the last meaningful game of the year that crowns a champion and one has to believe he is not scared of the Eagles backup quarterback when they square up on Feb. 4. Which leads me to what I really want to talk about, Philadelphia. The town that booed Santa and threw snowballs at him in 1968. My uncle used to tell me stories about Veterans Stadium, known to many simply as the Vet, and the crazy things that used to go in that building. Most of them revolve around displacing bodily fluids so I will spare you the details. Would you like a more recent example of how crazed Philly fans are? On Sunday morning Philadelphia police officers were greasing up light poles in the city to deter fans from climbing them, in anticipation of winning the game that punches their ticket to the Superbowl. This is not a joke. Crew members with industrialsized Crisco tubs with special cleaning gloves on to apply the shortening to as many light poles as they could. They also had ladders and called themselves ‘Crisco Cops.’ Obviously ‘Grease Police’ has a better sound, but I understand not wanting to have that nickname attached to the department after the evening’s festivities. But as it turns out the Crisco did not have its desired affect on the intoxicated fan base as they celebrated in the City of Brotherly Love. Video came out on social media and run on the local news showing the resourcefulness of Eagles’ fans as they climbed up those poles to celebrate their Superbowl berth. Lastly, to the Vikings fans. Better luck next year. If everything goes as planned our golden goose Aaron Rodgers will be back and you’ll be enjoying second place in the division. Superbowl prediction: Eagles 24 – Patriots 21.

Unmanned aircraft have been in existence since before the Wright brothers made their historic flight, mainly utilized by the military. Drones have been used in film and television photography, providing stunning visuals that were very difficult to be captured with earlier technology. Advances in battery technology have ushered in smaller radio-controlled drones for hobbyists and photographers. Initially seen as a way to get surveillance of hostile enemies without risking the lives of pilots, drones have From the Publisher’s evolved as a way to conduct warfare via remote control.

It was thedrones ffrom public orized a short time ago that retailers would be able to deliver products to your door using drones. The reality of having thousands of these devices buzzing around the nation has brought the dream back to the ground. Regulatory approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for drones to fly in the nation’s airspace is at the top of a list of hurdles that will need to be cleared before your packages are dropped at your door by remote control. While widespread use of drones as a delivery device is a few years off, the technology is being used in several ways that are making an impact today. I read a story last week about drones that gave me hope that this technology can be used to improve our lives.

Someone on the beach alerted lifeguards, who happened to be in the middle of a drone training session. According to news reports, Lifeguard supervisor Jai Sheridan got the call and piloted the drone, dubbed “Little Ripper,” toward the swimmers, about 2,300 feet over the ocean. Within 70 seconds the drone was hovering over the boys and had dropped a self-inflating rescue pod into the water. “I was able to launch it, fly it to the location, and drop the pod all in about one to two minutes. On a normal day that would have taken our lifeguards a few minutes longer to reach the members of the public,” Sheridan told The Sydney Morning Herald. The swimmers grabbed the yellow floating tube and made their way safely back to shore, exhausted but unharmed. Without the drone, it could have taken lifeguards three times as long to reach the boys. The state of New South Wales has invested $340,000 in drone technology, currently in a trial period. I think it’s safe to say that in this case the technology has proven itself. There are justifiable concerns about safety and privacy as drone usage becomes more widespread. We will need to carefully consider the ramifications of the technology, but in cases like the rescue of the swimmers, where the drones can help save lives it makes perfect sense. Technology with proper human supervision is worthwhile. Letting artificial intelligence call the shots is dangerous, in my opinion. Having a tool that provides an extension and enhancement of human abilities to rescue people is literally a no brainer. As always, I welcome your comments.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Republicans pushing work requirements, anti-fraud provisions for beneﬁts WISPOLITICS.COM

Republicans in Madison and Washington are working to rein in those who get taxpayer-funded aid amid worries from social service advocates that the poor and underemployed are being unfairly targeted. In Madison, a Republican bill would up the penalties for defrauding the state’s unemployment insurance fund. And in Washington, the Trump administration is saying Wisconsin is now free to enact work requirements for some Medicaid enrollees. The Madison bill’s GOP authors say stricter penalties are needed to help deter individuals from intentionally committing fraud and stealing from the taxpayers. Currently, those who knowingly lie to get unemployment insurance benefits could be fined between $100 and $500 or imprisoned for up to 90 days, or both. The legislation, though, would create four tiers of penalties. The first tier, in cases where the value of any benefits obtained doesn’t exceed $2,500, would increase the possible fines to up to $10,000 or up to nine months of imprisonment, or both. The second through fourth tiers would then trigger Class I, H and G felony charges. Those penalties, co-authors Rep. Samantha Kerkman and Sen. Chris Kapenga said, would better align the penalties for unemployment insurance fraud with other kinds of theft, as well as respond to concerns raised in a previous audit of the Department of Workforce Development. In the 2014 Legislative Audit Bureau report, DWD identified $86.3 million in overpayments due to fraud from 2011-2014. That accounted for 64,700 individuals. Meanwhile, the audit also showed an additional $61.8 million in overpayments to 577,000 individuals who unintentionally provided inaccurate information to the agency. Democrats and representatives from Legal Action of Wisconsin, though, raised concerns that workers who had no intention of breaking the law could find their futures in jeopardy under the bill’s penalties. “Turning unemployed workers into felons, as this bill seeks to do, does not help workers get back to work,” Legal Action of Wisconsin’s Vicky Selkowe said. Selkowe also called for developing punishments for employers who commit fraud, saying there’s currently a “lack of parallel fairness” for employers who, for example, deny workers overtime or benefits or knowingly misclassify workers as contractors. But Kerkman, R-Salem, said the bill’s intent was only to zone in on those who were intentionally defrauding the system. “I don’t want to hurt the folks who had

the misreporting,” she said. Representatives for DWD also testified in favor of the bill. Kerkman and Kapenga, R-Delafield, previously introduced the bill last session. At the time, it cleared the full Assembly but ultimately died in the Senate. The Medicaid work requirements were outlined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. In the 10-page memo, CMS says it will support state efforts to test incentives that make work participation or other community engagement a requirement for continued Medicaid eligibility. In a separate release, CMS says this new policy is responding to “numerous state requests” to test programs through Medicaid demonstration projects. These projects would set conditions for Medicaid eligibility that could include work or participation in community engagement activities like skills training, education, job search, volunteering or caregiving. This would exclude those eligible for Medicaid due to a disability, the elderly, children and pregnant women. CMS says it has received demonstration project proposals which include employment and community engagement initiatives from 10 states, including Wisconsin. “Medicaid needs to be more flexible so that states can best address the needs of this population,” says Seema Verma, CMS administrator. “Our fundamental goal is to make a positive and lasting difference in the health and wellness of our beneficiaries, and today’s announcement is a step in that direction.” But Kevin Kane, a spokesman for Citizen Action of Wisconsin, says this move is “the latest in a long line of sabotage” of the country’s health care system, and will make it harder for some in the state to get affordable health coverage. “We can point to tons of different times the Trump administration and the Walker administration are making it harder for some people who have some sort of health coverage,” Kane told WisBusiness.com. He pointed to the elimination of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate and Walker’s efforts to enact drug testing requirements for Medicaid as examples. “All these things are trying to dismantle, bit by bit, the health care system,” he said. “They’re making it harder for people on the program to stay on.” DHS spokeswoman Elizabeth Goodsitt says “we appreciate CMS and the Trump administration responding to requests by states for more flexibility as we strive to meet the unique needs of our citizens, and look forward to more steps in this direction.”

PATTI SEGER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF END DOMESTIC ABUSE WI

According to recent studies, about one third of all teens in the US will experience physical, sexual or emotional abuse at the hands of a dating partner before leaving high school. Data from the 2017 Wisconsin Youth Behavior Survey shows that 15 percent of all female high school students reported experienced Patti Seger dating violence of a sexual nature, and 9 percent experienced dating violence of a physical nature. From Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River, in every community both rural and urban, young people (predominantly young women) are experiencing abusive and controlling behavior from a dating partner. With such widespread dating violence occurring across our state, it is worth asking, what kind of response does this public health crisis warrant? At End Domestic Abuse WI (End Abuse), the statewide coalition of domestic violence victim advocates, we believe that a critical part of preventing domestic violence for future generations is educating youth to recognize the signs of unhealthy relationships, take action to protect themselves and their peers and stop the cycle of abuse from continuing on into later life. It seems every day high profile offenders are being forced to account for harassment and other abusive actions, and the widespread recognition of victims speaking out against abuse is an encouraging, albeit long overdue step. The facts may be different from case to case, but the underly-

ing theme is the same; the offender, almost always a man, uses their power and the victim’s sense of powerlessness to force themselves on the victims. A similar dynamic plays out in teen dating violence situations. In abusive teen relationships, the violent young person exploits social pressures and emotional vulnerabilities to control their dating partner. The startling prevalence of teen dating violence means that the abusive adults of tomorrow are likely beginning to develop their pattern of unhealthy behaviors in relationships now. Given how pervasive this problem is, we must take action not just to respond to abuse, but to prevent it. Currently, a bi-partisan group of state legislators is working to address this issue by enacting legislation which would implement dating violence curricula for students in grades 7-12 across Wisconsin. With 22 states having already passed similar legislation, we hope this effort will be recognized as a critical part of the work we need to do to prevent future violence, whether it be in the workplace, in the home, on a movie set or in Congress. Achieving this vision requires a long-term effort to promote healthy relationships. We must replace harmful messages – like the idea women are sexual objects or the idea that masculinity is about domination – with values of equality and mutual respect. This work will not be easy, and we may not see the benefits of our efforts immediately, but the way we respond to this problem now will have a lasting impact on the future. Similarly, a failure to address the root causes of domestic violence, sexual harassment, assault and misconduct today will result in the perpetuation of abuse tomorrow.

Little Trade Lake development gets map amendment vote through JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER––The Board of Supervisors meeting last Thursday began with an abundance of public input in a coordinated effort to stop new land development on Little Trade Lake. In a split vote decision, the board approved a plan to re-zone the site from agriculture to residential land. The land was re-zoned to agriculture many years ago for Trade River Winery, which has been closed since 2009. Thirteen County Supervisors voted to approve the map amendment, four voted against it, one supervisor abstained and three were absent. The amendment allows the 43-acre lot to be changed from A-2 (agricultural-residential) to RR-2 (residential-recreational.) Eva Development, based in the Twin Cities, has been trying to get the lot re-zoned for several years and is planning on building 14 lots on Little Trade Lake. Richard Hess, the first of the public to speak, spoke about how the Little Trade Lake Association spent $46,000 in lake clean-up costs in 2017 and is expecting to pay $49,000 for clean-up efforts this year. Hess also brought up concerns with water quality and the affect this development could have on

the animals and their habitat. Dan Freeman brought up a main concern with the lakes association, phosphorous levels. “The Wisconsin DNR sets the standard for safe phosphorous in lakes,” Freeman said. “The state standard is .04 and Little Trade Lake is already at .06.” The numbers represent the amount of phosphorous in any body of water. Lake association representatives in attendance voiced concern that phosphorous is added to lakes when excess runoff from the land gets into the waterway. Construction projects typically produce a lot of runoff, especially those in close proximity to a lake. After people move onto these proposed lots, any fertilizer used on their lawns could potentially run off during heavy rain. Before the final vote, Don Chell recommended they vote on deferring this decision back to the Public Land Use committee citing they needed to gain more knowledge of the land they were voting on. That vote only received two yes votes and soon after the map amendment passed the vote. Before the vote a number of supervisors expressed concern should the number of lots be reduced to 12 instead of 14. The Town of Trade Lake has 20 days to look at the decision and decide to move forward or go back and discuss the property again.

NWRPC presents Board of Supervisors ways to draw young people to county ter understand their own ‘flood resiliency.’ “We have got people simply plugging in data for possible 100 year and 500 year floods and were compiling that for all ten counties we oversee,” Johnson said. “We’re putting it together and the data should be completed in September.” NWRPC also helps with housing concerns for residents. “We received $1.9 million last year, if equally divided it’s about $181,000 in home improvements in each county,” Johnson said. “We’re not doing entire home remodels. We’re replacing roofs, siding, and septic tanks for people who cannot afford to pay for it.” Johnson explained the homeowners are then given a zero interest loan with deferred payment. “This is not a grant, it’s a loan. A deferred loan they don’t have to pay until they sell the property,” Johnson said. The NWRPC will be in Danbury and Siren on June 2 to collect household hazardous waste. “This includes anything under your kitchen sink that you know you should not just dump down the drain,” Johnson said.

GOVERNMENT CENTER––Burnett County Board of Supervisors met last week and were told about what could bring more millennials to the area and got an update on the proposed county campground. Sheldon Johnson, Executive Director of Northwest Regional Planning Commission (NWRPC), explained what his department does and how they help Burnett County at the Board of Supervisors meeting last week. NWRPC serves Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor, and Washburn Counties as well as the tribal nations of Bad River, Red Cliff, Lac du Flambeau, Lac Courte Oreilles, and St. Croix. Johnson began with talking about how to attract more young people to Northwest Wisconsin. He passed out a handout detailing outdoor recreation, low housing costs and safe neighborhoods as the most important according to a breakfast session the NWRPC held for young adults. He added that improvements can be made to local communities to make them more attractive, including more entertainment options (besides simply going to bars) like music in the park, broadband connectivity and communities being more welcoming. Johnson cited young people have a disconnect with elected officials. Johnson shifted gears and began explaining how the NWRPC has people compiling data for potential flood scenarios.

Governor Scott Walker went to Twitter last week after fellow Republican Adam Jarchow lost the special election to Patty Schachtner for Wisconsin’s 10th district Senate seat. “Senate District 10 special election win by a Democrat is a wake up call for Republicans in Wisconsin,” Walker wrote on Twitter. Later on Wednesday his campaign released a press release announcing his 72 county strategy. “When we announced our campaign in November, we called for an army of grassroots volunteers to help us move Wisconsin forward in 2018 and beyond,” Governor Walker said. “I am proud to name county coordinators in each of the state’s 72 counties who are working to mobilize neighbors and fuel our campaign.” According to the Walker campaign, the Burnett County coordinator is Laurie Reimer of Siren. Jarchow beat Schachtner in Burnett County 722 to 500 votes with Libertarian Brian Correia getting 18 votes. Burnett and Polk were the only counties, out of the five that make up District 10, that Jarchow won outright.

BURNETT COUNTY––A Spooner man disarmed and tased a detective and injured the chief deputy of the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department. Diego Garza, 44, Spooner, was arrested and charged with battery to public officers, resisting arrest, disarming a peace officer, escape violations, possession of THC and probation violation at the Burnett County Parole Office last week. Detective James Wiltrout was repeatedly tased by Garza and Chief Deputy Scott Burns sustained a sprained wrist from the incident. Garza plead guilty to a class D felony in August 2017 for possession with intent to deliver amphetamines. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and 18 months extended supervision and two years probation.

He explained that two grants were available, one a stewardship grant and the other from the RV Council. “We want more information,” said first Vice-Chairman Edgar Peterson. “Down the road, are we willing to take care of maintenance for the site. That’s what we have to think about.” The board voted to allow Jake to apply for the two grants and it passed with zero opposing votes. Nichols said the grants are due in April and May.

Improvements for Grantsburg schools LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—The members of the Grantsburg School Board braved blowing snow to consider several items. They met with two firms regarding remodeling projects, moved forward with technology improvements, and discussed teacher contract items for the 2018-2019 school year.

Project Bid Approved John Erickson of DSGW Architects, Inc. and Keith Holm of LHB, Inc. presented the board with proposals for remodeling projects on the school grounds. Both firms have bases in Duluth, and have completed several projects for schools in the Northwest region. Several smaller items were combined into one larger bid. This project includes: repurposing the mezzanine over the gymnasium to include a fitness center, replacing the gymnasium floor and bleachers, constructing a small outbuilding near the ball diamond to house restrooms and storage, revising the elementary school entryway and creating a fitness trail. Following the presentations, the board voted unanimously to award the contract to DSGW Architects, Inc. The District will continue to work with John Erickson and his staff in refining ideas and plans for proposed construction. DSGW recently worked with the Unity School District on their remodels.

Technology Improvements A bid to purchase 20 wireless access points was considered and approved by the School Board. The hardware will be used to add to the wireless network coverage in the buildings. Of the $17,853.80 total price, $12,497.66 will be paid through a grant from ERate – a program funded by the FCC that provides for technology improvements for schools. On a state level, the TEACH infrastructure grant also addresses technology improvements for rural schools. That program will cover $3957 of the total cost, making the school district’s total cost $1399.14. In related discussion, the TEACH infrastructure grant will cover 100 percent of technology hardware costs. It is anticipated that the six portable access

points installed on buses this fall will be reimbursed. Looking forward, there may be potential to provide a small inventory of portable wireless hubs for student to check-out. “We just have to pay for the data service. We pay per data usage, we pre-buy a certain amount of gigabytes of data usage and it’s just in a pool that is shared with all the hotspots,” said Jesse Byers, District Technology Director. Further research is currently being done on the viability of this option. Teacher Pay Restructured Keith Lehne, lead negotiator for the teachers, presented a ratified proposal for the teachers’ contract. While not providing for a wage increase, the proposal reorganized the step progression through the pay scale. The previous entry-level step was eliminated, and a new top step was created. The entire staff was reallocated on the grid, which nets a 3.73 percent increase for personnel. The District also hopes that their new base wage will help recruit potential staff as well as improve retention of current staff. Speaking about the negotiation process, Lehne said, “Overall, it was a positive feeling about the contract. Once again, it was a productive meeting and we had a chance to lay it out our concerns and I thought it went well.” The contract was approved unanimously by the teachers who voted, and it was also approved by the School Board. In other items: • The school will be hosting SOFTEC Education, Inc. on Jan. 23 to learn about the workforce development program. SOFTEC and Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College are collaborating to provide hands-on skills training that will benefit local manufacturing firms. • The Board reviewed the January enrollment report. In comparison to September, enrollment has increased by two students. • The current open enrollment policy was reviewed for the 20182019 school year, with no changes applied. • The 2018-2019 school calendar options were reviewed and a selection was approved.

Jury trial scheduled for man charged with 4th OWI JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– A Danbury man has been charged with operating while intoxicated - 4th from a 2015 arrest. His jury trial is set to begin in June. Richard R. Connors, 36, Danbury, could face up to $2,000 in fines and a year in county jail if found guilty. He is also charged with operating with restricted controlled substance Connors in blood – 4th, which if convicted could face up $2,000 in fines and a year in county jail. According to the criminal complaint, a Burnett County Sheriff’s deputy noticed a vehicle on Highway 77 with only one working headlight. The deputy pulled over the vehicle and asked Connors for his license. The officer said Connors was looking for his driver’s license in his wallet for about 30 seconds and could not find it. The officer noted his movements were slow. Connors had a flashlight strapped to his head and explained to the deputy that he was moving and needed to see in the dark. The deputy noted the smell of intoxicants emanated from

the vehicle. A second deputy arrived on the scene and saw a beer can near the passenger’s feet. The passenger said it was just a soda can, then picked up a soda can from the center console. The deputy reiterated that he could see a beer can near the passenger’s feet. Connors told the deputy it was from two months ago. When officers asked him to step out of the vehicle they noted a steel tomahawk on the inside of the driver’s door and when they patted him down found a utility knife on his person. Connors then consented to the field sobriety tests. He allegedly failed the tests, was arrested and taken to Burnett Medical center for a blood draw. At this point the officers began talking to the female passenger who allegedly admitted that she and Connors had smoked methamphetamine two weeks earlier. She also said Connors had smoked marijuana two days ago. His blood was tested and came back positive for meth. Connors was found guilty of OWI in 2003, 2004, and 2009. He is also facing charges for theft of movable property (<=$2,500), misdemeanor bail jumping and operating with required lamps lighted. He will have a status conference on March 14 and a final pre-trial conference on May 7.

WALKER: Election national coverage CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

Walker won the counties that make up District 10 – Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk and St. Croix – handily in 2014, getting 58 percent of the votes. President Trump won those same counties in 2016,receiving 60 percent of the votes. National coverage The election of Schachtner was covered by many national media outlets. Most noted that night and the next day what was commonly referred to as ‘Walker’s wake up call tweet storm.’ “WAKE UP CALL: Can’t presume that voters know we are getting positive things done in Wisconsin. Help us share the good news,” Walker wrote. Walker brought up his achievements like freezing UW tuition costs, eliminated some state property taxes and Wisconsin ranking number one in healthcare quality in the nation.

He finished off by concluding with a tweet similar to the one he began with. “Biggest takeaway from last night: We can’t presume that everyone knows about the positive things we’re getting done for the people of Wisconsin!” Walker wrote. He has counted on Burnett County in the past. Walker beat Tom Barrett in Burnett County 3,479 to 2,555 in 2010, winning every municipality except the Towns of Blaine, Oakland, Sand Lake and Swiss. In the 2012 recall election, Walker again beat Barrett and received over 61 percent of the votes. In 2014, he won about 60 percent of the votes in Burnett County. The 2018 fall mid-term elections will be the first time Walker has been on the ballot since his failed run for the oval office in 2016.

Local artist’s work to display in Peru

Your gift...their life SUBMITTED BY: HALLE PARDUN, BURNETT MEDICAL CENTER MARKETING DIRECTOR

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood and depends on blood and platelet donors. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all require blood to save their lives. The American Red Cross must collect more than 13,000 blood donations every day for patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals across the country. As we begin the new year, the American Red Cross encourages individuals to roll up a sleeve and donate blood this month and throughout 2018. Donating blood and/or platelets is a lifesaving contribution that only takes about an hour and can save up to three lives! Currently, there is an urgent need for blood and platelet donors of all blood types to help address a winter blood donation shortage. Winter is one of the most difficult times of year due to inclement weather - often resulting in cancelled blood drives, and seasonal illnesses like the flu causing some donors to become temporarily unable to donate. These disruptions make it difficult to provide enough blood products to meet patient needs. For those of you who haven’t donated blood before, here are some facts about the blood donation process: • Blood donation consists of registration, medical history and mini-physical, donation and refreshments. • Every blood donor has their temperature, blood pressure, pulse and hemoglobin checked before they donate. • The actual blood donation typically takes 10-12 minutes. • All donated blood is tested for infectious diseases. • Donating blood is a safe process using one sterile needle per donor and then discarded. If you are someone who wants to help others please consider donating. Eligible donors can find a local location, schedule an appointment or receive more information by visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767). “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

CUSHING —Local textile artist Jean M. Judd was selected by the US State Department to have five of her artworks on loan to the US Embassy in Lima, Peru. This opportunity is overseen by the Art in Embassies Program under the direction of the US State Department. Art handlers from US Art prepared and packed the artwork at Ms. Judd’s studio located in Cushing on January 10. The artwork will travel to Long Island, New York where it will be consolidated with other artworks for the final shipment to Lima, Peru. She exhibits her award-winning artwork nationally in juried fine art exhibitions and is represented by several fine art galleries across the United States. Ms. Judd work can be found in many private art collections in the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America. She is also the author of several books describing her processes, artistic philosophy, and experiences with artist residencies. She has been constructing textile artworks for over twenty-five years, incorporating dense hand-stitching which gives visual and physical texture to her work. Her work includes pieced work using commercial fabrics as well as rust pigmentation and non-traditional dyeing techniques. More recent work has been using whole cloth construction using her hand dyed and painted fabrics and rust pigmentation along with her signa-

ture hand stitching. Each piece is unique. The selected artwork is used to decorate the Embassy public rooms as well as the Ambassador’s residence. Artwork selected for the embassy by Ambassador Krishna R. Urs includes: Choir of Angels Tapestry, Contaminated Water #7: Lily Pads, Flaming Grapes, Fractured ‘Gello #1, and Serenity Tree. Ms. Judd’s textile pieces will be at the US Embassy in Lima, Peru for the next three to four years beginning in 2018. The artwork selected ranges in size from 81 x 81 inches to 31 x 31 inches and shows a range of styles from more tradi-

tional quilt-looking pieces to mixed media art featuring rust pigmentation using architectural ironwork and scientific iron filings. “This is a rare opportunity to have my textile artwork on display in a foreign country in a high-profile setting. I have been told that it is unusual for an ambassador to select so many pieces from one artist so I am deeply honored to have this experience,” stated Ms. Judd. Ms. Judd has been an exhibiting artist at the Stillwater Art Guild Gallery in Stillwater since April 2017, where several examples of her work are currently on display.

WEEKLY WAG

Farmers union to host Farm and Rural Lobby Day

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

The Humane Society of Burnett County is caring for two VERY adoptable animals right now! Mary is a six year-old American Staffordshire mix who came to HSBC as a surrender after u unexpectedly losing her h human. Mary is a vib brant lady with energy tto spare. She always w wears her heart on her ssleeve, expressing the joy o of meeting a friend with a big smile and happy d dance of her feet. She n never forgets to show her llove to those she cherishe es. The HSBC staff sees Mary her easily becoming a lap dog, proving once again love knows no bounds! She is still adjusting to life at the shelter, but has already come a long way. The staff feels she’d do her best transitioning to a new home with family to care for and spoil her. Mary would do excellent in most homes, but does have a strong preference for one without cats, small dogs, or critters – simply because she likes them a bit too much. Mary is a special girl who’s impossible not to love. Everyone simply adores her at the shelter. We know you will, too! Our feline pick of the week is Katrina, a six year-old Siamese mix who came to the shelter as a stray. Katrina had been living an outdoor life for several months prior to being brought to HSBC. Katrina has a thick, tan/ Katrina brown short hair coat with hints of orange shining true to the flame point Siamese. She also has beautiful blue eyes that are crossed. Very distinctive! Katrina has transitioned marvelously from her outdoor life. She tried out an adoption but, through no fault of her own, that situation proved not to be her forever home. Since her taste of adoption, she has been a calm and collected lady, ready for a new home and to be the queen kitty. Katrina loves to socialize when approached and will gladly chime in on any conversation. She loves to chit-chat but never gets too carried away or loud. Whether you’re looking to adopt, or come in for a visit, Katrina would love to meet you, If you or anyone you know are interested in scheduling a meet and greet with Mary or Katrina, please call HSBC at 715-866-4096. Public hours are Tuesday – Friday, noon – 5 p.m. or Saturday, 11a.m. – 3p.m. Adoption applications are available online at www.hsburnettcty.org

Pirates take down Eagles BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—The Grantsburg Pirates took care of business against the Unity Eagles on Friday night as they took down a tough Eagles squad, 58-43, which puts them tied for first place with Webster in the West Lakeland Conference standings. The Pirates are now 5-1 in conference play and 11-1 overall, with their only loss coming at the hands of the Webster Tigers who Grantsburg faces Tuesday, Jan. 23 with the winner claiming the top spot in the conference standings. Despite a majority of the Pirate squad battling a terrible flu bug all week, they were able to jump out to an early lead over the Eagles and control the tempo of the game. “We moved the ball well early and were patient,” Pirates head coach Nick Hallberg said. “Unity is a big, strong team and we did a decent job on the glass.” The Pirates jumped out to a 7-0 lead before the Eagles were able to get onto the board, and they never looked back as they continued to build off of that lead the entire game. They were methodical and patient in their offensive attack as they passed the ball around, looking for the perfect shot.

STACY COY | SENTINEL

John Chenal turns to make a pass while driving the lane in the Pirates’ win over Unity on Friday night.

Grantsburg also won the battle of the boards on the night. Both teams have plenty of height and size, but the Pirates were more aggressive and the high-flying Chenal brothers outjumped the Eagles to get to the ball. The Pirates held a comfortable 31-16 lead at halftime, and held the Eagles at bay the second half as well as Unity was never able to get closer than 11 points. The Pirate defense was stellar once again, forcing Unity turnovers and keeping their top scorers in check as they held Logan Hendrickson to just 11 points, Jaxon Flaherty to just five and Cody Ince to only four points. Six players got into the scorebooks for the Pirates with John Chenal leading the way with 23 points as he manuevered his way through the lane to the hoop all night. Tyrell Brande was next with 14 points including three three-pointers. Joseph Ohnstad tallied eight points, Leo Chenal had six, Jared VanWatermuelen added four and Austin Wedin chipped in three. “It was nice to see the balance on offense again,” coach Hallberg added. The Pirates will host the Frederic Vikings on Friday night and play the early game of a doubleheader. Game time is 5:45 p.m. On Saturday they will face Clear Lake at the Target Center in Minneapolis. Tip off is 2:30 p.m.

TURTLE LAKE—“I guess you can say we did really good,” expressed a happy Coach Chris Bartlett following his wrestling squad’s 52-6 win at Turt Lake Clayton tle T Thursday night. “132 was the b best match of the n night. Hunter ( (Sellent) just wore h him down.” “They are a s small team, but w were hit by the flu b and had three bug o for the match. out Hunter Sellent We moved guys around to get as many matches as we could.” Dominic Caroon (195), Nolan Johnson (113) and Hunter Sellent (132) had pinfall wins for Luck-Frederic-Grantsburg-Siren. Landyn Johnson decisioned his opponent 17-6.

GRAPPLERS PARTICIP IN ST. CROIX FALLS PATE TOURNAMENT At St. Croix F Falls on Saturday, the wrestlers placed 14th out of 20 schools in

action. “I was very pleased with how the kids are starting to look,” commented Coach Bartlett. “We have a dual coming up with Clear Lake and I look forward to a few rematches from the beginning of the year.” Nolan Johnson (106) “had a good day even though he didn’t place. He was ahead in his fi rst match of the day, but with his size, the kid (Nolan’s opponent) was able to catch him in a throw and pin him.”

At 132, Hunter Sellent “wrestled well all day. He is looking like his old self again. He is wrestling hard for six minutes. When he does, he’s fun to watch.” Of Landyn Johnson (138), “This was by far his best tournament. He wrestled hard the entire day. Besides the one match, he moved on his feet and took some good shots. He took a well-deserved sixth.” Merlin Hibbs (145) “had a bad draw. He was feeling sick at the beginning of the day. If he was feeling better, in both of his losses, he would have p placed.” “I moved Logan L Lehman (152) to J JV to work on his c confidence.

very well throughout his matches.” Dominic Caroon (195) “wrestled hard, I give him that. If we can get him to conserve his strength and only use it when needed, he would be a forced to be reckoned with.” “He did good,” said Coach Bartlett o of Ben Berglund. “ “He was able to g get some much n needed mat time.” At 285, “Mikel L Louis ended with a another fourth p place. At least we a aren’t Division 11. He can’t get a w win against them. W We’re working Mikel Louis with him to get a take down he has confidence in and he should do well during tournament time.” In conclusion, “Hopefully we are just starting to peak. The next couple weeks are going to be fun.”

Dragons split two non-cons

Eagles too much for Pirates BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—The Lady Pirates began the second half of their conference season with a loss to a strong Unity Eagle squad, dropping this one 53-71. The Pirates improved from the first time they faced the Eagles back in early December, and matched the scoring in the second half with both teams putting in 34 points. Unfortunately, they were in an 18-point hole from the first half they just couldn’t recover from. “We struggled with their 1-3-1 half court trap in the first half,” Pirates coach Penny Curtin said. “We turned the ball over a bunch so we were unable to score. We did play much better in the second half — and scored even with them basket for basket. Brianna Peterson (Unity) lit up the scoreboard and was making baskets even when she had defenders in her face.” “We did some things very well and when we moved the ball we got good looks at the basket. Still having some trouble with pressure defense but we played a great second half and the girls are working hard and making progress.” Brooke Quimby led the offense for the Pirates with 24 points on the night. Nineteen of those came in the second half alone, as she hit four three-point shots this half.

SIREN/HAYWARD—“Flambeau is ranked #2 in the state and is VERY good,” praised Siren Coach Ryan Karsten following the 82-32 setback to the Falcons. “We battled in the first half and I was proud of the way my girls played. They competed. In the second half, they didn't play with the same fire as the first half and the game got out of hand.” “They (Flambeau) have nine seniors who have played together for the last 10 years. They are fun to watch.” “Jade Horstman hit a couple of three's to lead us offensively. Defensively, I thought Kyleigh Lightfeather, Jalynn Nelson and Jaiden Jewell played well. It showed the girls what dedication it takes to be considered one of the top teams in the state. It was a great learning experience for us.”

Olivia Brock was the only other Pirate to hit double digits as she battle down low for a hard fought 12 points. Olivia Ohnstad was next on the list with seven points with Cassidy Chenal and Janessa Bonneville each chipping in four points, and Linda Harmon round-

ing out the scoring list with two points. The Pirates are now 5-8 overall and 3-4 in conference play. They will host Frederic on Friday night and Somerset on Monday night. Both games begin at 7:15 p.m.

Tigers almost derail Rails BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers nearly caused a railway accident last Monday as they lost only by a 60-52 score to the Spooner Rails. “We played nearly a complete game on Monday,” said Tiger coach Mat Wood. “We hung with a tough Spooner team. We started the night down 9-0. We didn't come out ready to play. We weathered the storm and came back nicely, having the game tied a few times. We just couldn't get the lead.” The coach continued, “We fought well down the stretch, just couldn't overcome some mental mistakes that we made. Our team has really improved over the past few weeks. We need to continue to cut down on TO's (turnovers) and giving up offensive rebounds. If we do that, we will continue to find success.” “Julia Gavin had a great game securing another double-double with 16 points and 17 rebounds. We really missed that over the last few games; her inside presence was really missed.” “Hannah McDowell continued to shoot well. She had 20 points. She will start to turn into quite a basketball player as she continues to grow and adjust.” “Summer (Winkler) had a very efficient game as well, scoring seven points with 10 steals, seven boards and six assists. She has really started to play well.” “Ali Moritz locked down their #2 Chastek in the half court, limiting her to only a few buckets in the half court.”

DRAGONS TOP LAC COURTES OREILLES “We went to LCO the next night and started slow, a little Flambeau hangover. It was 29-17 at the half, the girls picked it up in the second half and we won 63-31.” “I suited 15 girls that night and everyone had an opportunity to score and play a bunch. We were led by Paeyton McKnight with 13 points. Hannah Lemieux hit two three pointers. It was a fun game to get a bunch of kids some playing time.” Abby Kosloski scored nine with Karlee Sybers getting eight points. Cassie Maslow and Jalynn Nelson also got six points apiece. “Our next three games will show us how far we have come since the start of the season - at Northwood, at St. Croix Falls, and Unity at home. Those are a couple of good team that either play very good defense or have some really great shooters. It will be a great challenge for us moving forward!”

Pirates drop non-con to Warriors BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

AMERY—The Pirates traveled to Amery on Monday, Jan. 15 and faced the 9-3 Warriors in a non-conference

match-up. Despite holding a 21-20 lead at halftime, Grantsburg couldn’t keep up to the Warriors the second half and dropped this game 39-54. Brooke Quimby and Olivia Brock

did a majority of the Pirate scoring with Quimby leading the charge with 19 points. Nine of those coming from behind the arc. Brock had another solid game tallying 15 points for the night. Linda Harmon and Kaitlyn Robelia had

two points each and Olivia Ohnstad chipped in one. The Lady Pirates hold a 5-7 record after this game and are in the middle of standings for the West Lakeland Conference with a 3-3 record.

Great turnout for the ﬁrst Grantsburg All-In 2018 BY BOB ROMBACH WE ARE GRANTSBURG

inspired by the amount of things to do, as well as a conversation with personal trainer, Natalie Doornink. Together they forged an idea of bringing the entire town, and surrounding area together to watch a live stream of a 15-20 minute workout which Natalie would lead. They enlisted the help of We are Grantsburg to host the live stream. Voila! A plan in action. Before the event We are Grantsburg sat down with a few of the participants that would be in studio doing the workout and showing the people watching

GRANTSBURG—When Bek Stavne, Grantsburg’s Community Education Director and Grantsburg Chamber of Commerce member came up with the idea for a community fitness night, she may not have thought that it would go this well. The idea came to her as she visited Bergy’s Fitness and Foods for their ribbon cutting ceremony as a representative of the Grantsburg Chamber of Commerce. While there she was

how to do the exercises. Each of their stories are inspiring and can be found on wearegrantsburg.com. At first, Bek and Natalie were nervous about how many people would watch online. Would anyone care? Would anyone participate? Will we even have five people? When they let themselves dream a little they thought 20 people watching would be pretty successful. The peak number of live viewers turned out to be 82. The total number of views of the workout, as of this writing,

is 2,418. Some people watch the whole time, some duck in and out, but that’s a wonderful number of people. But, outside of, and more important than the raw numbers is the people behind those numbers. Many people commented that they were “All-In” for 2018. Many people shared their goals and their “why” with the community. So, in all, the event was very well received and hopefully it will be the start of an amazing 2018 for all those who have made the decision to go All-In!

The canine officer works nights, but is willing to show the dog during the days, so we get a chance to meet the dog. Speaking of Dime Bingo, it is played every Tuesday at 1 p.m. They have started something new on Dime Bingo. On the last game of the day, they put a dollar in the pot and whoever bingos, get the entire pot. This week, Darrald Doriott was the lucky winner. I believe we had 22 players so Darrald got $22 - not bad. Congratulations!

The cancer bingo party will be held at Tesora on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 25. This is a fun time to be with friends and make a donation to the cancer fund. The committee has lots of door prizes. Our 500 winners were: Wade Rufsholm, Susie Hughes. Marion Obszany, John Angell. Elwyn got the 9 bid. Spade winners were: Tony Rutter, Sue Christensen, Jim Anderson, Sue Newberger and Steve Wenthe.

Two charged with possession of meth JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––Sienna N. Red Cloud, 45, Gordon, and Kayla L. Williams, 33, McGregor, Minn., were charged with possession of methamphetamine stemming from an incident at the Hertel Casino parking lot in

Red Cloud

Williams

December. Williams was also arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and felony bail jumping. According to the criminal complaint, On Dec. 30, St. Croix Tribal Police responded to reports of some individuals inside the Hertel Casino that may be involved with narcotics. Tribal officers obtained security video footage of the possible suspects entering the casino. Officers went out to the car with the K-9 unit. K-9 Auggie allegedly alerted officers of a scent on the driver’s side front door seam and did not give any further alerts at the car. Red Cloud exited the casino and was approached by the officers. She stated she found the bags on the ground. The officer allegedly noticed the small gem baggies and that several of them had a

white powder residue in them. The officer used a NARK II test kit for methamphetamine and the test gave a positive indication for the presence of meth. The Tribal Police had received a call earlier in the evening about two other individuals that Casino personnel said they were going to tell to leave. One was Travis Kraft, who as an open case from December of 2017 for manufacture/ delivery of methamphetamine and the other was Williams. Tribal PD K-9 Reese was taken over the car and allegedly indicated she could smell narcotics from inside the car, particularly from the driver’s side door handle. Police searched the vehicle and found ten empty plastic gem baggies. They also found a clear glass bubble pipe with black burn marks on it. Williams was arrested and transported to Burnett County Jail. Police allegedly located drugs in Red Cloud’s purse. They were tested and the sample gave a positive indication of methamphetamine. Officers also seized Red Cloud and William’s phones as part of an ongoing investigation. If found guilty, Red Cloud faces up $10,000 in fines and three years imprisoned. Williams faces $10,000 in fines for both possession of meth and felony bail jumping and a possible four years imprisoned. Red Cloud made her initial court appearance on Jan. 24. Williams will make her first appearance on March 12.

Choose Life

Pastor Kobi Philips New Hope Church

In John 3:17 we are told â&#x20AC;&#x153;For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.â&#x20AC;? So what does this â&#x20AC;&#x153;being savedâ&#x20AC;? look like? When I minister to people in the midst of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storms I often hear things from them about being unworthy, full of shame, full of anger, hopeless, unlovable, etc. The feeling they have is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would God waste his time on me?â&#x20AC;? The answer is that Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love is unending

for all of us. He sent his only Son to die for us on a cross. All he asks in return is that we ask his Son into our lives and accept him as the Son of God who was crucified, died and buried, only to rise again. Yes, Jesus is alive and well and waiting for us to invite him in. What is the secret to doing this? It is simply confessing your sins and asking Jesus into your life. That is â&#x20AC;&#x153;IT!â&#x20AC;? No test to take, no great feat to accomplish. Jesus is right next to you waiting for the invitation.

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH, ELCA

There were two criminals crucified on either side of Jesus. One mocked him, choosing death, but the other one confessed to Jesus, saying he was receiving a just reward for his deeds and then invited Jesus into his life by simply saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;remember me when you come into your Kingdom.â&#x20AC;? Jesus replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truly, I say to you today, you will be with me in Paradise.â&#x20AC;? That criminal chose eternal life through Jesus. God wants all of us to do that.

BURNETT COUNTYâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin held a symposium to educate the community about the industrial hemp industry. Last year, the tribe was given the green light by the Burnett County Board of Supervisors to begin processing Cannabidiol, also known as CBD oil. The St. Croix Hemp Symposium event was free to attend for the public. It was at the St. Croix casino in Danbury on Monday and at the St. Croix casino in Turtle Lake on Tuesday. Gov. Scott Walker approved the manufac-

turing and farming of hemp in November of last year. Wisconsin joined 30 other states that have legalized hemp farming. Under the new law, hemp plants can not contain more than 0.3 percent THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Hemp farmers with drug convictions would not be eligible for state-issued licenses to grow the crop. The event kicked off with a welcoming statement by chairman Lewis Taylor and an introduction to the event was given by Michael Decorah. Dr. Robert Clifford lead the first session by explaining the scientific

differences between marijuana and hemp. Sally Schaeffer was on the schedule to make a special appearance at the symposium. Schaefferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Lydia died in 2014 from a rare form of epilepsy and began the namesake of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lydiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law,â&#x20AC;? which legalized a marijuana extract known as CBD oil in Wisconsin. The keynote speaker was Dr. Lakisha Jenkins. She specializes in traditional, holistic, alternative and naturopathic medicine. She has been involved with the medical cannabis industry since 2006.
