Nuisance bear hunt ends Two-year pilot program ends successfully JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Happy Halloween! Despite the chilly temps, kids and adults hit the streets Tuesday night for some good old fashioned Trick-OrTreating. Above, Star Wars was the name of the game for this bunch at T-Dawg’s annual Trunk or Treat event.

GRANTSBURG— The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources concluded “Nuisance Bear Hunting Season” earlier this month. Hunters were allowed to apply for permits for hunting bears in Grantsburg on their own private land. The DNR two-year pilot program has ended with 14 bears harvested last year and another nine this year. The hunt went from Sept. 13 through Oct. 10. Steve Hoffman, Crex Meadows Wildlife Area Supervisor said the nuisance calls from 2016 through 2017 have dropped off significantly. The quota for both years was 24 bears – with 23 bears harvested over two years, the program was deemed a success. Private land owners eligible for permits have to own at least five acres of land and it had to be within 1.5 miles of

BURNETTCOUNTY—Remember to set your clocks back one hour before retiring Saturday evening, and enjoy an extra hour of sleep. Daylight Savings Time officially ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 5. Wikipedia®, the online encyclopedia, calls the event “Daylight Saving Time,” though most people in the Midwest say “savings,” plural. Whichever you prefer, it always starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, with the time change taking place at exactly 2 a.m. With a word play referring to seasons, clocks “spring forward, fall back” – that is, in springtime the clocks are moved forward from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. and in fall they are moved back from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. Daylight Saving Time goes back to 1918 and has been lengthened so it now lasts a total of 34 weeks (238 days) every year, about 65 percent of the year.

SIREN— Gage Holmes, sophomore at Siren High School is an important part of the varsity football team. The sidelines were ecstatic earlier this season when he rushed for 100 yards and scored a touchdown in a game against Winter at the Lakeland Jamboree. Holmes wears two cochlear implants because he was born deaf. His teammates, coaches, and teachers agree – he is like everybody else on the football field. “After he scored the entire team did the sign language for clapping,” Gage Holmes said Holmes’ teacher Lisa Seaman. “It was so cool looking at the sideline and seeing everyone with their hands up congratulating Gage.”

Wood River corridor “We’d get calls saying there’s a bear drinking out of our swimming pool and from the ground you would have no idea why the bear is coming through here,” said Hoffman. “But you look at it from above or a map you can easily see this corridor is what bear, deer, and other wildlife follow.” Hoffman said the bear population is larger in Grantsburg when looking at overall state population. The black bear density is about two bear every square mile based on population estimates.

Grantsburg Fitness Center under new ownership BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg 24-Hour Fitness Center has new, local owners with lots of goals, plans and enthusiasm. Rick and Maddie Berglund of Grantsburg have changed the name to “Bergys Fitness and Foods.” The name reflects their plan to move their food business, “Bergys Bulk” to the front of the building where the previous owner, Dr. Steven Bont, operated his chiropractic business. Dr. Bont relocated to downtown Grantsburg. The Berglunds, doing business as Bergys Companies, LLC, plan to remodel the front area by removing walls and opening up the space for retail food sales. “The front door will always be open to the public during business hours,” Maddie said. They have several more plans but want everyone to know they will remain a 24hour operation and will honor current memberships and rates for the foreseeable future. Key cards will work as before.

STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

Rick and Maddie Bergland of Grantsburg are new owners of the Grantsburg Fitness Center, which has been renamed Bergys Fitness and Foods.

As their mission statement says, “We strive to help our members achieve their goals at every level; retain our members through our commitment to continuously improve; to provide our members with an environment that is welcoming, friendly, comfortable, fun, attractive, clean and safe.” She adds, “We want to be an educational vehicle for our members and the community at large in the field of health and wellness, and be a significant asset to the community.” On the fitness side, they intend to add some equipment and do some “esthetic remodeling” while remaining open. The goal is to have an open house around the first of the year. They plan to add some new fitness classes and opportunities, which they will announce later. “We want it to be a place for kids activities, senior activities and whole-community activities.” Rick grew up in Grantsburg and graduated from Grantsburg High School. After serving as a volunteer coach on the multi-school wrestling team, he has now been named

Assistant Coach. Maddie, originally from Pasadena, CA, has been a Grantsburg resident for more than 20 years. She has a business background. “Day passes are available to non-members who want to come and explore. We also offer passes for racquetball players to come in and use the court during normal business hours,” Maddie said. “Kudos to Dr. Bont for all he has done for the community through the fitness center. He has been so gracious through this process. We are so glad he is staying in the community,” she added. “We want to be involved in our community. Natalie Doornick and this fitness were instrumental in helping me achieve my significant weight loss, so now being an owner is special. “The combination of exercising here, using the great classes, and proper diet has helped me keep it off for three years. “We want to help others in the community use this facility to make positive changes in their health.”

Grantsburg’s Natalie Doornink is new Fitness Center Manager at Bergys Fitness and Food BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Natalie Peterson Doornink exudes enthusiasm for her new job as Fitness Manager at Bergys Fitness and Foods. “Blessed” and “thrilled” are among the words Natalie uses to describe her new role. “I am so pleased with the vision and energy that Rick and Maddie bring to the gym. I am thankful for the opportunity to help them achieve their mission,” Doornink said. “I will use my experience to promote and grow programs for members and the community,” she said. “I am fortunate to work closely with members while continuing my own fitness business I call Fitnat Exercise Design and Consulting, offering personal training and specialty classes.” Natalie, daughter of Chuck and Lori Peterson, grew up in Grantsburg and has long been associated with the center, first as a young member. After graduating from Grantsburg High School where she ran track and cross country, she pursued her love of fitness and exercise at Carthage College

in Kenosha. She graduated with degrees in Exercise Sports Science and also a K-12 Physical Education degree, plus a minor in coaching. After stints as a Fitness Director at YMCA Twin Cities and as a Fitness Specialist at Hazelden, Natalie returned to Grantsburg, where she married and started a family. She and her husband, Scott, have two kids. Back at the fitness center again, she was instrumental in starting classes and programs when Dr. Steven Bont took over the business. She was the sparkplug who got much of Grantsburg and surrounding communities exercising and losing weight through the “Biggest Loser” programs and other fun and exciting fitness center events. “I was determined to see the fitness center grow and allow everyone the chance to be active in an inclusive setting,” she said. “Now, going forward with Maddie and Rick, I will be there to connect with new members, enhance scheduling and promotions, and work with each fitness team member to ensure fitness industry standards are being met. “I am resolved to see that

each person feels successful.” Natalie says people who use the fitness center know that it is a special place where social connections are just as important as fitness. People are friendly and helpful to each other. Many new friendships are formed. Old friends

meet to exercise and encourage each other. An early morning group of men has met for many years for exercise, coffee and good-natured ribbing. “I feel our small town has been blessed with this place where we can better ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually.”

It’s calm up here JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

I had a wrestling coach in middle school that eventually became my sociology teacher in high school. He began with teaching me the single leg takedown (something a wrestler of my size never relied on) to explaining how he grew up in the city and could never get used to the silence of falling asleep without the city noise, in the suburbs. I did not have that problem this week. Surprisingly enough I enjoy the silence when trying to sleep. Steve LeBre was a great coach and an even better teacher, one of few teachers who taught me to question things and not just trust Sentinel authority blindly. He also taught me that I am the way I am mostly Editor because of society. Jonathan Richie Whether it was living in the city or in the suburbs, wherever I’ve lived (before now) there has always been a steady stream of cars passing my house at night along with the occasional honked horn or fire truck. It’s calm up here and I love it. A 20-minute commute to the Sentinel office and a 20-minute commute to UW-Milwaukee are only the same in time. It’s amazing how stressful commuting can be when you have to worry about making the next traffic light, especially when there are seemingly 5 lights every mile. The starting and stopping can make you crazy. I also appreciate everyone telling me about the hazards of deer. There are some new things of course, like the occasional tractor or seeder chugging along highway 70 at 35 mph. I’ll take a tractor over somebody trying to time the traffic light to cut me off from the 3rd lane that is supposed to be for parked cars. It was a great first week, I was mostly in and out of the office meeting people all over the county. Seeing Grantsburg, Siren, Webster, Danbury and the A&H area was delightful. Now, looking at a map or just driving through any other city folk might think, “Wow there is nothing up here, but gas stations, bait shops and lakes.” But even though this isn’t a tremendously populated area, after talking to a few people, it’s obvious there is an incredibly strong community in Burnett County. So the silence is nice when trying to fall asleep, but I was a bit thrown off by the “curfew siren” that goes off in Siren at 10 every night. Lastly, I don’t know what kind of witchcraft the iPhone camera possesses, but I don’t look anything like this picture. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

I lettered in dragon killing It seems that anything and everything can be a competitive sport. Sure, we’ve all heard of baseball, football, basketball and hockey — the major collegiate and professional sports, but what lesser known sports? There’s professional archery, professional poker, professional eating and even professional video gaming. This spring, the schools of the Big Ten Conference all 12 schools in the Big Ten sent teams to the Big Ten Network League of Legends tournament thanks to scholarships provided by the company that makes the game. Now e-athletes, as they call themFrom the Publisher’s selves, are seeking an equal standing with other college athletes. They want Desk colleges to take the sport seriously to the point of offering scholarships. Tom Stangl League of Legends, or LoL as it is k i the h gaming community, is a multi-player known in game that takes place in a fantasy realm. According to its Wikipedia page, players in LoL assume the role of an unseen “summoner” that controls a “champion” with unique abilities and battle against a team of other players or computer-controlled champions. The goal is usually to destroy the opposing team’s “nexus,” a structure which lies at the heart of a base protected by defensive structures, although other distinct game modes exist as well. Each League of Legends match is discrete, with all champions starting off fairly weak but increasing in strength by accumulating items and experience over the course of the game. Before you go pooh poohing the entire thing as nonsense, I’d like to offer some other facts that may or may not change your view of this game.

month, 27 million per day, and over 7.5 million concurrently during peak hours. By 2016, the monthly total had grown to 100 million. League of Legends has an active and widespread competitive scene. In North America and Europe, Riot Games organizes the League Championship Series (LCS), located in Los Angeles and Berlin respectively, which consists of 10 professional teams in each continent. Similar regional competitions exist in China, South Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and various other regions. These regional competitions culminate with the annual World Championship. The 2016 World Championship had 43 million unique viewers and a total prize pool of over $6 million. Computer games have become a big business as faster internet speeds and more affordable computers become more common. The market has grown to $91 billion worldwide and it is an entire segment of the entertainment field. But is it a competitive sport deserving of college scholarships? I guess that will be left to the individual universities to decide. Anything that will help get someone to learn so they may become a contributing member of society is good. But is it a good idea to pay people to play fantasy games to subsidize their education? I can argue for increased physical activity to combat our growing obesity epidemic, but I can also argue that people who have great problem solving skills (like solving puzzles in a game) have a place at the table. The trick will be making sure killing dragons online translates to a marketable skill in the real world. As always, I welcome your comments.

‘America Recycles’ Day

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Harsdorf’s food stamp bill promotes healthier eating BY WISPOLITICS.COM

A food stamp bill authored by Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, with the goal of promoting healthier eating was liked by minority Democrats at a recent Assembly committee hearing. A second GOP food stamp bill received mixed reviews. Harsdorf’s AB 501 would create a pilot program promoting healthy eating and would give discounts to 2,000 FoodShare households on fresh produce and other healthy foods. That program would be administered by the Department of Health Services. Harsdorf said of the 2,000 FoodShare households that would participate in the 10-month pilot program, 1,000 would be in Milwaukee, 500 would be in Dane County and the remaining 500 would be in rural areas. The Harsdorf bill has several Democratic co-sponsors. Rep. Mike Rohrkaste, R-Neenah, characterized the bill as taking “a carrot approach – sorry for the pun.” The other proposal, AB 530, would require DHS to conduct a pilot program to study whether the state should limit FoodShare benefits only for purchases with “sufficient nutritional value.” That bill was authored by Rep. Treig Pronschinske, R-Mondovi. It differs from a similar measure proposed last session that would’ve largely limited purchases to an existing list of approved foods under the WIC program for women, infants and children. This session, Pronschinske’s bill would instead let DHS and other stakeholders develop a list of appropriate food and

beverages. Dems and some business interests lined up against the legislation, arguing the approach wasn’t evidence-based, raising concerns about how to define unhealthy foods and questioning why food stamp participants should be treated “any differently from the rest of us.” But Pronschinske, as well as Rep. Michael Schraa, R-Oshkosh, said oversight was necessary because taxpayers are subsidizing the program. “You talk about fair and equal, but it’s taxpayer money,” Schraa said. “A private person can spend their money on whatever they want.” Other opponents worried making the changes outlined in the bill would deter people from taking advantage of the program. Hunger Task Force Director of Advocacy Maureen Fitzgerald said she was concerned adding “layers of bureaucracy” would mean the population increasingly signing up for the FoodShare in the state – those 55 and older – would be less inclined to do so. “That particular population is reticent to sign up for the program,” she said, adding that she’d expect it would “increase hunger for seniors in our community.” Wisconsin Grocers Association President and CEO Brandon Scholz said the bill would “create a patchwork of nutritional standards that change at the state line,” making it difficult for retailers trying to operate multiple stores across the country. He also advised legislators interested in enacting the legislation to instead push for a new federal standard.

“If you really want to do it, go to D.C., get Congress to make this change and make it across the board,” Scholz said. Meanwhile, most speakers testifying on AB 501 spoke in favor of the bill’s approach to addressing nutrition-based concerns. Still, Scholz, of the Grocers Association, argued that creating lasting consumer change means altering shoppers’ behaviors and mentalities – not making more coupons available. And Midwest Food Processors Association President Nick George said while the bill language specifies fresh produce, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables should also be part of the program. Overall, the bill got a positive reception from those representing the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, the Heart Association and SSM Health, as well as committee members, including Rep. Debra Kolste, who said the bill acknowledges that “eating healthy sometimes costs more.” Kolste, D-Janesville, is among the four Dem representatives co-sponsoring the legislation. And Rep. Tyler Vorpagel, R-Plymouth, praised the bill authors for exploring a way to “get healthier food choices in people’s hands.” The Harsdorf bill would appropriate $425,000 to fund the pilot program – including the discounts on food, although DHS’ fiscal estimate concluded an additional $175,000 in general purpose revenue would be needed to both administer the program and contract for an independent evaluation of it.

Did you survive the awful weather we had on Friday? It was an awful, soggy wet day! Boy! I’m happy that we didn’t get much of that white stuff (snow) and happier yet that it’s gone! Cold, yes! But much more tolerable! Congratulations to all our high school sports teams this year! Our community has some of the best athletes around. Great job by the volleyball team on their tournament playoff with Regis, and to the football team, on their win over Durand, despite the weather. Now will take on Elk Mound Friday night here.

Why recycle? Recycling conserves natural resources such as timber, water and minerals. It saves energy. It prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials, and it helps create good-paying jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries in the United States. To celebrate America Recycles Day, EPA released significant findings on the economic benefits of the recycling industry with an update to the national Recycling Economic Information (REI) Study. This study analyzes the numbers of jobs, wages and tax revenues attributed to recycling. The study found that in a single year, recycling and reuse activities in the United States accounted for: 757,000 jobs, $36.6 billion in wages; and $6.7 billion in tax revenues (www.epa. gov).

What can you do to reduce waste? Use less of everything! Just decide what you can do to help make a difference in our environment every day. Whether you’re at home, on the go, in the office or at school, there are many ways get creative and tell me about them. Use less stuff, please. Donate what you don’t want. It makes a difference! Please contact Jen Barton at jbarton@nwrpc.com or call at 715-635-2197 with questions, comments.

“America Recycles” Day is the only nationally-recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States. Each year on Nov. 15, millions of people across the United States take part in America Recycles Day, a day which was created to raise awareness about recycling and the purchasing of recycled products. The day was started in 1997 by the National Earth Recycling Coalition Notes and is declared each year by Presidential Jen Barton Proclamation, encouraging Americans to commit to recycling. Since 2009, America Recycles Day has been a program of “Keep America Beautiful.” There are thousands of events that are held across the United States to raise awareness about the importance of recycling and offering personal pledges that can be signed, committing to recycling and buying products made from recycled materials. Let’s see what we can do this year! A few basics are recycling, using less of everything, and being more conscious of what you are doing to the planet.

Community effort brings ambulance to A&H BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

A&H—When the communities of Webb Lake, Voyager Village and A&H sets their minds to do something, it gets done. Especially when Mick Peterson and Roger Larson are leading the way. The serious problem that needed fixing was an aging population in northeastern Burnett County with no nearby ambulance service. “No one around here buys green bananas,” Peterson said. “We have a lot of older people living out here.” The three Towns of Jackson, Scott and Webb Lake have 1,600 fulltime residents. During the summer months, the cabin owners, campers and second home owners swell the population to 5-6,000. A&H is “out in the boondocks,” which the residents love, but getting an ambulance to an emergency sometimes takes 20-30 minutes. By comparison, most ambulance calls in the Grantsburg and Webster area require less than 10 minutes to get an ambulance to the scene. The long wait for an ambulance in A&H “might be the difference between life and death,” Peterson said.

No ordinary garage

During the county’s previous four-year contract with North Memorial Ambulance service, the county had three ambulances in service, but none in the northeastern area. They were housed at Grantsburg, Webster and Danbury. During meetings this past spring and summer to negotiate a new, five-year ambulance contract between North Ambulance and the Burnett County Towns As-

Mick Peterson jokes with the work crew who are building the A&H ambulance garage. It was funded entirely with donations from A&H area residents. Construction will wrap up around Dec. 1 and the ambulance will be housed there starting Jan. 1. A professional ambulance crew will staff it 24/7 and be housed in the A&H center’s lower level, which is being remodeled.

sociation, the A&H folks made a promise with a “Field of Dreams” ring to it: “We will build it if you come.” An ambulance needs more than a regular garage. It needs heat and air conditioning to keep medications and equipment at proper temperature and to be sure it

is ready to go in all kinds of weather. The garage needs water and electricity so the ambulance can be washed after a run on a wet or dirty road. No one wants to see or ride in a dirty ambulance. It needs a substantial floor with a drain and a holding tank, and a tall door in the 14-foot ceiling. It must be built to commercial standards. In other words, a garage costing $100,000 or more. Peterson and Larson confidently committed their extended community to build an ambulance garage and to provide nearby housing for professional ambulance crews on call 24-7. STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

The community responds “The people here felt strongly we needed an ambulance situated closer to us, with a fulltime professional ambulance crew,” Peterson said. He and Larson started calling the community to action. “Roger and I started out with the lake associations on Memorial Day weekend,” Peterson said. “From there we went to the three churches. The Lutheran church has a ‘Trash and Treasure’ event in June. The Catholics have a Flower Day sale and we got a substantial donation from Crossroads. “Next we went before the three town boards of Jackson, Scott and Webb Lake. Roger is a supervisor on the Jackson town board. Roger said, ‘Let’s give $7,500 to help build this garage,’ and the other board members agreed. “Next I went to Scott town board, where I used to be chairman,” Peterson said. “I told them Jackson gave 7500 bucks, and they said okay. Then we went to the Webb Lake town board and told them Scott and Jackson gave $7,500 each, so they did too. Guilt is always good.” Next they went to the Webb Lake Men’s Club which gave $2,000. The Webb Lake Women’s Club have a twice-yearly rummage sale. “You just stay out of their way,” Peterson said. “They gave $10,000. “Then we did a mass mailing. We got the property address listing for all three towns and generated a mailing list. We had an envelope-stuffing party one afternoon at church and 85 people showed up. That showed us how much the community wants this garage. The community is involved. “We sent out the mailing, and about $4-6,000 per day began to come in,” Peterson said. “Our goal was $100,000. The bid we accepted from Northwest Builders out of Rice Lake came in at $125,000, and we raised $175,000.”

Housing for the crew Some of those extra funds will help remodel the senior center’s walk-in lower level, which is less than 100 feet from the ambulance garage. It previously housed a medical clinic and then a real estate office, but now will be converted to quarters for the ambulance crews, which will be on duty 24/7. It will have a day room, sleeping quarters, kitchen, office and storage space, small conference room and men’s and women’s bathrooms with showers. The garage is set for completion by December 1, giving them a month to make sure everything is ready when the ambulance moves in on Jan. 1. What’s next for A&H? “Some of us have our eye on a senior housing project,” Peterson says. Stay tuned.

what to do on the field, but made gigantic leaps going into this season. His teachers also had to learn new things. “I had to learn all the football lingo so that I could teach it to Gage. That way we both knew what was going on out there,” Seaman said. Most lip readers only understand 30 to 50 percent of what is being said. This means Holmes has to piece together the rest, teacher Mary Hanson said. Holmes is still contemplating running track this year, ideally running in the 200 meters and relays. Coach Bentley said when he gets into the open field he’s fast. “He works so hard, he deserves this,” Seaman said. “He is such a good kid and this has been great for him. We don’t allow him to and he doesn’t use his deafness as a crutch.”

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

Seaman stands on the sidelines during practice and games as guidance for Holmes so he can be on the same page as the rest of the team. Holmes has known most of his teammates since second grade when he moved to Siren. “We can’t talk in the huddle with our mouthguards in because then he can’t read our lips,” said Noah Koball. Tyler Anton joked that it’s easy to communicate with Holmes saying sometimes they just have to scream towards him. Jordan Webster is also a sophomore and works directly with Holmes by using hand signals in the huddle. Holmes wears a specially designed Schutt helmet to accommodate his cochlear implants. Holmes said the only downside he is constantly

having his head wrapped up on the sideline so his implants stay in place. “He’s a good kid and has the same expectations as all the other players,” said coach Ryan Karsten. Coach Aaron Bentley said Holmes came into the season working especially hard. He’d come to practice and watch everything happening, because that’s the best way to learn. “I noticed it in one of the earlier games,” Bentley said. “You could see it on the field, he said ‘my nervousness is gone, I’m going to play as hard as I can.” “Last year it was difficult with everyone else talking and trying to read their lips and not really knowing what I was doing,” Gage said. Holmes explained how he had trouble last year with learning the plays and not knowing exactly

SURVEY:

Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health declining amid job stress BY GREG TOPPO USA TODAY

A long list of anxieties over school budget cuts, bullying, coarse political discourse and the shaky status of immigrant students is taking a toll on teachers, a new survey shows, with more educators now saying their mental health is suffering more than just two years earlier. More than half of the educators point out their mental health is an issue: 58 percent said their mental health was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not goodâ&#x20AC;? for seven or more of the previous 30 days. A similar survey in 2015 found just 34 percent of respondents felt the same. The findings are being released Monday by the American Federation of Teachers. Randi Weingarten, president of the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; federation, said that over the past few years, teachers have actually swapped one kind of stress â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an intense national focus on standardized skills tests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for another. After President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act in 2015, Weingarten said, many observers believed that educator stress would ease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You would have expected the numbers to go down, not up,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Coarseness in politics But, stress over the coarseness of our political debate, she said, has become a big dilemma for schools, she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This notion that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;being coarse and tough and enabling hate is okayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is highly, highly, highly disruptive and problematic in schools. It goes completely against what parents and teachers know is absolutely important for kids, which is a safe and welcoming environment,â&#x20AC;? Weingarten said in an interview. The survey of nearly 5,000 educators, most of them responding online, found that the vast majority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 86 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; did not feel respected by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who has made expanding private- and charter-school choice a centerpiece of her career. Weingarten said the negative findings on DeVos, a Michigan billionaire and Republican mega-donor who has championed school choice, are telling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People get what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing the same thing nationally as she tried to do in Michigan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is to completely disrupt public schooling, find ways to undermine it, defund it, destabilize it, at the same time actively promoting private alternatives, even though the private alternatives donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a good track record,â&#x20AC;? she said. Weingarten also criticized DeVos for not stepping in more forcefully, as past administrations have done, to help educators after recent natural and man-made disasters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has never happened with this administration: Not after Charlottesville, not

after the hurricanes, not after the fires, not after Las Vegas. It has never happened with DeVos. Instead, she spends the time sitting with Republican pollster Frank Luntz trying to figure out how to promote vouchers.â&#x20AC;? The U.S. Education Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the findings, which relied on a random sample of 830 Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation members as well as educators in two New York school districts. More than 4,000 other educators responded to a public version of the survey online.

BURNETT COUNTYâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jack Garcia, 43, of Braham, Minn., was sentenced to 10 years in prison for first-degree recklessly endangering the safety of a person, a class F felony. The sentence will be split in two five-year periods, first five in initial confinement and the last five years under extended Jack Garcia supervision. Known as a member of the Latin King gang, he is accused of shooting a man in Siren last year in a methamphetamine-related crime. According to the criminal complaint, Garcia allegedly entered the home of a 35-yearold Siren man after they had smoked methamphetamine. Garcia stood in front of the victim, three to four feet away, and pointed the gun at his head. He then shot him

The findings show that 61 percent of educators, as well as school staff, say their work is â&#x20AC;&#x153;alwaysâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;oftenâ&#x20AC;? stressful. They also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to get much sleep: Only one in five (18 percent) get eight or more hours of sleep per night. The vast majority (78 percent) manage five to seven hours a night.

Garcia was originally charged with aggravated battery with intent to cause great bodily harm, failure-to-appear warrants, injury by negligent use of a weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, theft and possession of methamphetamine paraphernalia. Charges that were dismissed, but still read for sentencing were armed robbery, a class C felony, possession of a firearm, a class G felony, theft of movable property, a class A misdemeanor and possession of methamphetamine, a class I felony. Garcia will receive jail credit for the last 457 days, without eligibility for the boot camp program. He is eligible for the substance abuse program. As part of his extended supervision sentence, he is to have no contact with the victims and must maintain complete sobriety.

WHEDA holds summit for county leaders Sparks discussion on how to save highly stressed local economy JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY— Last week representatives from Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) and Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) came to Siren for a summit to discuss the economy of the county. The main point of emphasis was that Burnett County is a severely distressed area economically and how the agencies can help the area. WHEDA is known across the country as a money lender that gets money from the federal government in such high rates because they know how to get the money out and get it working for the community. “We (WHEDA) have been coming to this area for 30 years,” said WHEDA Chief Operation Officer, Brad Schimming. “We want you to be direct with us about the needs and challenges facing this area. Then we can look at what we can offer.” Schimming explained that they took idea’s from the Spooner and Balsam lake area last year and approximately seven months later were putting those ideas into place and helping the community. After Schimming spoke he handed it over to business and community engagement manager, Stuart Kuzik.

Poverty initiative seeks businesses Local Businesses Top Priority for State Program JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY— The Wisconsin Department of Children and Families for the past year has been working with other agencies in the state on their Rural Poverty Initiative. They have one simple goal, get everyone who wants to work an opportunity to do so, with primary focus on rural communities. Wisconsin Works (W-2) is a subsidized program that businesses can apply for. Employees are hired on a six-month basis and the DCF will pay their salaries at minimum wage. Employers are not required to keep the worker past the six month, the objective is to get these workers something on their resume and to build their work ethic skills. “The Rural Poverty Initiative isn’t just the DCF, it’s a bunch of agencies across Wisconsin joining together,” said DCF Communication Director, Joe Scialfa. “We’re

protecting the rural way of life.” The W-2 program is not just for big businesses with over 50 employees. Small businesses are encouraged to apply for the program. “The reason small businesses are our focus is because the boss will get another worker that they don’t have to pay their salary,” Scialfa said. “They will have more time to train the worker and help them with meeting employment goals, like showing up on time and proper workplace etiquette.” Scialfa said most of the workers in the program are foster youth, kids that grew up without guidance to go out and seek employment. “Even if the business lets them go after six months, they will still have that work experience on their resume. As a former hirer of employees, I know the struggle with hiring people with zero experience,” Scialfa said. The DCF also has a transitional

jobs program that is also subsidized with the same six month, no obligation and the department will pay the minimum wage salary. It is currently not available in Burnett County, but that may change in the future. “Gov. Walker and I agree – jobs are the key, education comes first, but getting a job afterwards is incredibly important,” Scialfa said. “If someone is employed it’s better for the individual, the community, family stability and ultimately better for the state of Wisconsin.” The DCF has had a strong push in the Menomonie area with the W-2 program, where a wide array of businesses have applied. Scialfa said it’s turning into a tremendous success because of the strong partnership between the DCF and community leaders. “The ultimate goal is that everyone in Wisconsin sees a future for themselves,” Scialfa said. In Burnett County, business owners should contact Workforce Resource in Siren, 715-718-4840.

Available loans “The last few months at WHEDA I have been investing with a mission, with a purpose,” Kuzik said. “In the last year we’ve had participation lending where $5-$10 million were available. We then give loans in amounts from $100,000 to $250,000.” UW-Extension Community Development Agent, Mike Kornmann, brought up that most people in this area aren’t looking for millions of dollars in loans or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. “People around here are looking for a $30,000 loan to buy a piece of equipment,” Kornmann said. “Is that type of loan possible?” Kuzik explained that a $700,000 loan could be given to a particular municipality, then that could be divided up and dispersed to the people who need the money.

Severly distressed economy After the powerpoint presentations the event was opened up so invited community leaders could voice their opinions on why this area has a severely distressed economy. Nate Ehalt, county administrator, outlined the two biggest problems for Burnett County are lack of skilled employees and adequate housing for young professionals. “We’ve got high paying positions available, but we get zero applicants for those job and they remain unfilled,” Ehalt said. “A large number of county residents are commuters, they drive to the twin cities for work – a lot of them drive down there everyday.” Chris Moeller, executive director Siren Chamber of Commerce, said that this area doesn’t have a lot of industry to build on and that it is a mostly tourism spot, which is seasonal. Schimming reiterated WHEDA is dedicated to helping in the day to day and that it will take some time. “We’re at a tipping point right now,” Ehalt said. “We could easily fall behind ten years if we don’t make changes.”

CRLC celebrates 10 year anniversary Chilli open house invites community to check out new home JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Siren— Last Friday, during the first snow of the season, at the Community Resource and Learning Center (CRLC) it was the perfect day for chili and an open house. It was also a celebration for the learning centers 10-year anniversary. The CRLC is licensed to accommodate 118 children, aged 2 weeks–12 years. They have few spots available for infants. The entire learning center staff has specialized training in childhood development and early childhood. All the rooms are themed like – acorn, birch, and willow and have access to the outdoors. “We do developmental screening on all children,” said owner/administrator Chris Phernetton. “We also individualize the goals for all children with input from their teachers and parents.” The staff said that this is Phernetton’s brainchild. She

started the center out of her basement and soon after that combined childcare locations from Siren and Webster. “We looked into starting from nothing and building our own facility,” Phernetton said. “It ended up not being feasible.” CRLC moved into the building in January and now coordinates transportation with both school districts. The walls of the building are covered in helpful literary pamphlets encompassing all topics parents can use. The building is a u-shaped and used to be completely open area. Phernetton had a complete remodel done and split it in half adding children rooms for the learning center and offices for the resource center. In the middle of the U is outdoor play area divided by a fence, allowing toddlers and bigger kids to have separate areas to play. “When we bought the building we knew it was going to be too big for just us,” Phernetton

said. “That’s why we’ve got other agencies, like WIC and Family Resource Center to move in.” The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program moved out of the government

center building to a less intimidating space with plenty of room for all kids to play. The resource center also has offices for the Healthy Families of Burnett County Home Visiting, Community Referral Agen-

cy, and Indianhead Community Action Agency’s (ICAA) Early Head Start program. Walking into the open house much of the staff was running tours of the building and showing it off. One of these guides was Heidi Jones, executive director of the Family Resource Center. “Everything is very new,” Jones said. “The Family Resource Center has offices, a large play area, and we’re putting in a kitchen.” Connie Graf, northwest regional manager for the Indianhead Community Action Agency, has an office in the resource center. Graf ,works in a six-county area with facilities based in Polk County. The CRLC is located at 24467 State Road 35/70 in Siren, WI.

A ‘tribute trip’ for Zach Meyer’s friends, family BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG —An unusually large group of Grantsburg hunters are in Wyoming this week for deer and elk hunting, but more importantly, to offer a fond farewell to their dear friend and relative, Zach Meyer. “About 15 of us are taking Zach’s ashes to his ‘happy hunting ground,’ ” said his uncle, Curt Meyer. The men will be accompanied by seven or eight women. Most of the women won’t be hunting but they want to be there for the informal service on top of “Ol Baldy” near Sundance, Wyoming. “That was Zach’s favorite hunting spot,” Curt said. “He loved Ol’ Baldy and talked about it with love and reverence.” Meyer, 34, died in a one-car crash in the early morning hours of Thursday, Feb. 23. His car struck a tree beyond the “T” intersection at the end of Harmon Avenue East on Grantsburg’s north side.

“Zach was on his way home in thick fog,” Curt said. “We think he missed the left turn from County Road F to head east on County Road D. Instead, he went one block too far south. When he got to the end of Harmon Avenue he couldn’t stop before hitting the tree.” Zach, nicknamed “Squeaks,” was born with a love for the outdoors. He could always be found out cutting wood, clearing trails or setting up a place to hunt for him and his beloved children who were the joy of his life. Zach was known to bring a smile to anyone’s face and a helping hand to whomever needed it. “What a big heart he had!” Curt said. “He was either helping somebody with something, or he was driving around looking for someone to help. He was a friend to everyone.” Among those taking the trip out west are his parents, John and Lylea, uncles Gilbert and Curt, his cousin Mike, close friends Chad Doornick, John Hess, “Peanut,” and many more. Curt said this has been a rough year for his brother, Gilbert, who also lost his grandson, Jorden Otis, in a car accident in November, 2016. Zach is survived by his children, Ayla and Talon; his parents, John and Lylea; brothers, Eddie (Lona) Siebenthal and Jake (Jessie) Meyer; sister, Courtney

Meyer; nieces: Kylie, Charli, Randi, Stevie, Julie, Josie; nephew, Mitchell; grandmothers Mary Jane Meyer and Barbara Mindrup; many uncles, aunts, cousins and more friends than anyone could count.

American Diabetes Month SUBMITTED BY MEGAN SWENSON CERTIFIED WELLNESS COACH, ST. CROIX REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

“Diabetes” once was a word we rarely heard. Now, we hear it quite frequently. Diabetes is the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States but do you know what diabetes is? Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are above normal. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin (Type I Diabetes) or it can’t use its own insulin as well as it should (Type II Diabetes) Without the proper amount of insulin, both Type I and Type II Diabetes causes sugar to build up in your bloodstream, resulting in high blood glucose levels which can cause serious health complications including: • Heart Disease. • Blindness. • Kidney Failure. • Lower-extremity Amputations. Type I Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Only five percent of people have this form of diabetes. Type II diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Approximately 29.1 million people live with diabetes. Some symptoms to watch for are frequent urination, feeling very thirsty, feeling very hungry, extreme fatigue, blurry vision, wounds slow to heal, weight loss, tingling/pain/numbness in hands/feet. Whether you have diabetes or not, it is important to consume whole grains, fruits, veggies, protein and dairy products. Decrease added sugars, fats, fried foods and processed foods. Plus being active will help slow the process or prevent diabetes. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

BURNETT COUNTY— Local fishing legend Larry Dahlberg grew up in Grantsburg and was inducted into the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Fishing Hall of Fame on Saturday in Springfield, Missouri. The ceremony was held at Johnny Morris’ Wonder of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium, the new home of the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame. Dahlberg has been fishing since he was six years old. He is known for his television series as well as his innovations in lures and casting technique. “Growing up in Grantsburg was like growing up in Mayberry. It was fabulous,” Dahlberg said. “I’d get on my bike, coast down the big hill. Head to Memory lake and wander around until it got dark.” It was there, when Dahlberg was six, he caught a 32-inch pike – a fish he remembers to this day. Dahlberg began his fishing career in Grantsburg and admits he never thought it could be a career. “I never considered this as a full-time career,” Dahlberg said. “I never planned it. It just sort of happened.” The 60-foot aquarium at the ceremony had 300-

In 22 years Dahlberg has been to 87 countries and has fished in most of them. He’s been to Africa and took a trip down the Nile river south toward Sudan. “That trip was so interesting culturally and from the fishing aspect,” Dahlberg said. “We caught nile perch that look like small-mouth bass. Some of them were over 250 lbs. and they came up and you’re like ‘woah!’” Dahlberg has caught catfish weighing over 400 pounds in Suriname and said it’s one of the most beautiful countries. Mongolia is another country he visited and noticed a distinct difference in culture. Dahlberg explained that these third world countries do better with the environment and that first world countries are probably the worst. Dahlberg explained the country has almost no fences and about a hundred miles of road. It’s a place where the people are happy and the cattle are healthy. “Growing up I never thought I’d leave Grantsburg, it had everything,” Dahlberg said. “I thought ‘I’m never going to Mexico; I don’t need to learn Spanish.”

Four of these babies are black and white and the little girl is orange. If you adopted two or three, think of all the fun you would have watching them play and then enjoying the snuggles. The picture is of Carmela and Caleb sharing a hammock! Besides the kitten that was adopted, other kitties that left for new home are Aries and Felix. I always miss them when they leave but couldn’t be happier as they begin their new life in a home of their own. The new cat building is well underway. The new and much needed cat condos for quarantine will have arrived by the time you read this, which will make much nicer housing for the kitties as they wait to move up to the adoption area. Our donors make it possible to provide and be a voice for the animals. Thank you! Quote: “Among the things in my life I thank God for most, is the love he gave me for animals.

Chalk art competition for Bullying Prevention Month

SUBMITTED

Grantsburg High School

BURNETT COUNTY— October is National Bullying Prevention Month. The Mental Health Task Force of Burnett County (MHTFBC) joined the effort to raise awareness about preventing bullying by teaming up with the area schools to organize a Chalk Art Competition. The Chalk Art Competition is designed to spread the message of taking action to prevent bullying through outdoor

artistic drawing. It also helps to get our students talking about bullying and understanding their power to prevent it. Nationally, one in four students will experience bullying this year, and Burnett County is no different. According to the 2014 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 29 percent of high school students reported being bullied in the previous 12 months. Bullying can negatively impact educational

performance, erode self-esteem and selfworth, cause anxiety and depression, and lead to thoughts of self-harm. As damaging as bullying is, there is hope, because bullying is an issue that can be prevented. When students, parents, educators and others unite it means one less student being bullied, one more person speaking out, or another young person knowing that they are not alone.

Guided by this fact, a positive message is chosen for the schools to incorporate into their drawings that will encourage students to rally around one simple action: “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” The school districts of Webster, Siren, Grantsburg and Northwest Journey were the participants in this year’s Chalk Art Competition. Students created the drawings on their campuses throughout the week of Oct. 23. The completed chalk art drawings are evaluated by a panel of judges and the winner will be announced on Friday, Nov. 3. All of the completed drawings can be viewed on Healthy Burnett’s Facebook page.

Dragons win at Jamboree BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SCHOFIELD—The Siren Dragons finished their 2017 football campaign with a convincing win at Stiehm Stadium in Schofield, defeating Abundant Life-St. Ambrose by a 52-0 margin. The Dragons put 26 points on the board in the first quarter and led 38-0 by halftime. They added 14 more in the third period of play and thus the 52-0 final score. “We played really well,” said Siren coach Ryan Karsten. “We really came together the last half of the year and it showed. It was a great final game for my eight seniors - Noah Koball, Sequoia Bellanger, Eric Bruss, Logan Meagher, Ben Kopecky, Tyler Anton, Austin Tinman and Dolan Highstrom. They help the Siren football program qualify all four of their football years to the WIAA Jamboree and came away with four victories. In the six years of the eight man jamboree, Siren has the best win-loss record in the history of the event.” “We played all aspects of the game well. Dolan Highstrom started the game off with a 31 yard touchdown run, Tristan Ortez picked up a fumble on the

kickoff and returned it for a touchdown six seconds later and just like that we were up 14-0. On the third drive, Dolan broke another run of 22 yards for his second touchdown of the game. On the fourth drive, Derek Highstrom hit Noah Koball on a 17 yard touchdown pass and the Dragons lead 26-0 after one.” The coach continued, “In the second quarter, senior Logan Meagher had a nine yard touchdown run and junior Tanner Buck has an electric 44 yard run to put the Dragons up 38-0 at the half.” “Dolan returned the opening second half kickoff 68 yards for his third touchdown of the game. Senior Tyler Anton closed the scoring for the Dragons by scoring on a four yard touchdown run.” Coach Karsten reflected, “I am super proud of this group of young men. They have been with me for my entire four year career as the head football coach at Siren. It is a sad day knowing I don’t get to coach them anymore, but I am very excited to see where they go and what they do with their future. I hope that their time playing football has left them with many positive memories and great stories. I know they have created many with me.”

Pirates’ season ends at Sectional ﬁnal BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

EAU CLAIRE—The Grantsburg Pirates’ volleyball season came to an abrupt end on Saturday night in the Sectional Final match-up against the Eau Claire Regis Ramblers. After winning the first set, 25-23 they dropped the next three 24-26, 21-25 and 18-25 to bring their season to a close. ‘“OUT-OUT-OUT-OUT-OUT!’ This play will forever haunt me,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “We had won the first set. We had Regis at game point in the second set. We were receiving serve and their ball was sailing out of bounds. I was screaming “OUT” but the crowd was loud and our passers did not hear and we played the ball. We did not shank the pass, but we could not terminate and we went on to lose the second set 24-26. “We never recovered from that and while we continued to fight hard, we ended up trying to play ‘catch up’ the rest of the match and could not quite pull together to seal the deal. My baseball coach husband said, ‘Momentum is a tough opponent.’ It is. Such an odd sport in that regard.” In the first set, the Pirates jumped out to a quick lead but the Ramblers kept it close and eventually took the lead. Both squads had very scrappy defense, not letting the ball hit the floor. Grantsburg

found themselves down 17-20 before rallying back to to get the 25-23 win. The second set was a game of runs with Regis claiming the lead early before the Pirates stormed back to take over. The Ramblers came back to tie it up at 17-17 before the Pirates went on a run again, going up 23-19 at one point. But Regis got the last run to take the 26-24 win to knot the match up at one set each. The third set was back and forth with the game tied up at 11 each before Regis went on a run to take an 18-12 lead. But Grantsburg would not go away quietly and rallied back to bring it within 20-23 before losing this one 21-25. The wheels kind of fell off for the Pirates in the fourth set as they fell behind 0-6 early on before getting on the board. They found themselves down 8-18 before going on a rally to bring it within five a couple of times. But it was too little, too late and they lost this one 18-25 to end the night. “I don’t usually get greedy about wins and I never look past opponents, but for some reason, I had the strongest feeling that we would be at the Resch Center this year,” Allaman-Johnson said. “I wanted it so badly for the girls so they could see what overcoming team strife and working together could do in a season, in life.

Kids Versus Adults

Late October 2017. Dusk. Our newly purchased home stood empty except for the remains of a 20 piece family dinner from the local broaster house, and a large container full of guns and ammunition. Nerf guns. The call had gone to the rest of the family earlier that day. There would be a Nerf gun battle in our big, empty house Each of us grabbed our armaments from the Rubbermaid container or loaded up the ones that were brought from home. The time had come to decide on teams. As expected, the little ones unanInside the imously shouted, “adults versus kids!” Haha! They fell for it! Huddle “What about me!?” asked the Bob Rombach 16-year-old high school junior. Ahhh, the age-old conundrum of the adolescent. Too old to be with the kids, too young to be with the adults. “Sorry, 18 and older only,” one of the adults said. The adults snickered as we headed out to our side of the house. Capture the flag. No mercy. The lights were extinguished, the house only lit by the soft glow of moonlight. The battle began with a countdown. 3…2…1… GOOOO… bam, bam, bam! What the…! They were on us faster than a Ferrari full of monkeys. We realized then that the five adults were outnumbered two to one. We had to be strategic. We had to be cunning. We had to run away! We regrouped. In order to move up out of the three bedrooms (our base camp) we had to navigate a short hallway that led to the kitchen on one side and an open den on the other side. Past that was the enemy’s lair: the living room. We knew we were sitting ducks if the kids had anyone stationed near the mouth of the hallway. We had to rush through, but we had to muster the courage against the savage beasts. Finally, we leapfrogged past one another from the back bedroom to the bathroom, then clearing the kitchen. We only had to clear the den and we’d be able to assault their base and grab our flag. The pop of the shot was singular and it’s target helpless. As one of the adults peered around the final corner to clear the den, her face was the final destination of a deadly strike. Her gun flailed and her voice echoed down the hall, “My EYE!!!” We turned and saw the shadow of the assailant. Though I can’t be sure, it looked like the high school junior, exacting revenge on all adults everywhere. We regrouped at our base. One said, “there’s just too many of them!” another said, “I’m scared!” and yet another said, “Crap, the boys are late for basketball practice, I gotta go!” Really? That left us with only four whimpering adults holed up in a bedroom, wondering if this was our last chance. We then realized we needed to find that resolve that made our country so great. We had to channel George Washington, George Patton, and Denzel Washington if we were to succeed this night. We devised a plan. I had spotted their flag on an earlier scouting mission. I directed the other three to go right to cause a diversion and I would scamper left to find and retrieve the flag. We all agreed and we went on the assault. The first person cleared the hallway but went left, “wrong way, Marine!” I whisper-shouted. “But there’s more chicken over here,” she replied. The next person ran out, but slipped on the hardwood and fell, shooting her weapon randomly through the room as she tried to catch her fall. I followed the third person out using him as a human shield. He broke right, I broke left into the kitchen. Perfect. As the kids circled around our helpless slipping soldier, we were able to use that distraction as our opportunity to sneak in and grab their flag. Turns out that we were the Shaggy and Scooby Doo of Nerf wars because even though our plan went completely backwards, we ended up with the victory. As we flipped the lights back on the adults, dripping in sweat and fear, looked at the kids who were all saying, “let’s play again!” We didn’t play again.

Webster cross country runners place at State Meet WISCONSIN RAPIDS—Last Saturday, Webster cross country teammates Joey Formanek, Hunter Erickson and Sam Nelson participated in the State Meet at The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. Formanek and Erickson placed 80th and 81st respectively with times of 18:08.99 and 18:09.85, with Sam Nelson coming in 48th place for the girls at 21:17.31. From Webster coach Roy Ward, “Junior Sam Nelson made her second appearance at State and ran a great race. She started off with a conservative mile and continued to pick up places finishing 48th with a season best time of 21:17.31. It is always nice to finish up the season with a personal best performance. She certainly trains hard and is very deserving. “Junior, Hunter Erickson made his debut appearance at the biggest race in HS CC. Hunter came into the season ready to race. From the first meet at Grantsburg, it was obvious that he possessed the talent to run with the state’s best runners. He had two teammates to thank for pushing him all season, Mason (Schaaf) and Joey (Formanek). The battle between Hunter and Joey continued at the State Meet. Hunter finished one spot behind Joey with a place of 81st and a time of 18:09.85. “Senior Joey Formanek was everything a coach could ask for. Before the gun fired, he had already won in so many ways. Joey was our teams leader. He always had a positive outlook and shared encouragement with his teammates. He was loved and supported by his CC family as well as a “the other family”. It was great to see Grantsburg coaches and family members at the meet cheering for Webster. I am proud to coach in our Lakeland Conference where coaches support each other and want to see our area athletes do well. Saturday, Joey raced his fourth and final time at the State meet. It was emotional day. The kid has given it all for the past seven years. He hasn’t wavered from determining to be the best he could be.

ATF MEDIA

It is hard to think about what it will be like without him, so I choose to pretend that it isn’t over. We still have things yet this year to look forward to and so for the moment, we will deflect the reality of it being over. The race was a tough one for Joey. He looked pretty rough at the mile and I knew he didn’t feel the best. Like a true competitor, you do the best you can in that situation, and he did. The only reason he beat his teammate Hunter was the will to do so. Joey has always given it everything he had, and at the State meet he finished his last CC race as a Webster Tiger on empty. His place was 80th and his time was 18:08.99. I love you Joey and the man you are becoming. “Thank you Joey, Sam and Hunter for continuing the tradition of Webster qualifying athlete(s) to the State Meet. You are truly the State’s best in many ways and an inspiration to many like your MS teammates who look up to you!”

Pirates advance to Level 3 with win over Panthers BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates football team kept their season alive with a 30-20 win over a tough Durand Panthers squad on a cold, wet and windy Friday night. They advance to Level 3 to face the No. 2 seeded Elk Mound who defeated the No. 3 Chetek-Weyerhaeuser 33-6 to move on. “We knew Durand would give us all we could handle and it was a good battle for four quarters,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “Even though we had too many mistakes, it’s all about getting the win and advancing at this stage of the game, and we did enough to do that.” Grantsburg’s defense was able to shut down the Panthers’ star running back, Josh Biesterveld, holding him to just 83 rushing yards on 24 attempts. On the other hand, the Pirates’ leading rusher, John Chenal, was able to fight his way through the Panther defense to rack up 241 yards on 26 attempts. “Defensively, we did a decent job against the run but we had way too many breakdowns on third and long and allowed Durand to stay on the field and chew up clock with long drives,” Coach Hale said. “Give Durand a lot of credit, they are a very good program, are well coached and always play physical football.” After forcing Durand to punt on their opening offensive series, the Pirates fumbled the ball on their own drive which was recovered by the Panthers. A few plays later, the Pirates found themselves in unfamiliar territory when the Panthers crossed the goal line to get on the scoreboard first. The two-point conversion failed, to make it a 6-0 game in favor of the visiting squad. Grantsburg took the ball on their next series, marched down the field and with :10

left in the first quarter, John Chenal walked into the endzone from one yard out for the score. The extra point attempt by Jared VanWatermuelen was no good, knotting up the game at 6-6. The Pirates got on the board again midway through the second quarter when Leo Chenal busted loose for a 69 yard run to paydirt. The two-point conversion was good to give the hometown boys the 14-6 lead. Durand made a late drive and attempted a 15-yard field goal with just two seconds left in the half, but the kick was no good and the Pirates headed to the locker room with a 14-6 lead. The Panthers tied up the game with 3:28 left in the third quarter when Biesterveld found the endzone from four yards out. He also ran in the two-point conversion to make it 14-14. The Pirates would have none of that, and on their very next offensive play John Chenal found a hole and took it up the sideline 79 yards for the score.

Luke Anderson ran in the twopoint conversion to retake the lead, 22-14. John Chenal would add to the score with a five-yard TD run with 9:09 left in the game. Anderson’s pass to Gabe Chenal was good for the two-point conversion to put the Pirates up 30-14. Durand still had a few tricks up their sleeves, and with 7:19 on the clock they pulled a double pass play for a 48-yard score. The two-point conversion failed to make it 30-20. The Pirates’ offense was forced to punt the ball back to the Panthers, who needed to move the ball quickly and get a couple of scores. They start their march up the field, and on a big third down play the Panthers complete the pass, but fumble the ball which was recovered by Grantsburg’s Tyler Stevens to give the ball back to the Pirates with 3:07 left in the game. They were able to eat up the clock and come away with the win. Grantsburg racked up 372

yards of total offense, while Durand had 334 yards. In addition to John Chenal’s 241 rushing yards, Leo Chenal put up 70 yards on two carries. Anderson had 18 yards on three attempts.

Anderson was also three of four for 41 yards of passing. Gabe Chenal was the leading receiver with one catch for 23 yards. Leo Chenal had one catch for 17 yards. Defensively, John Chenal was all over the field with 12 solo tackles to go along with 12 assists. Leo Chenal was next with 11 solos and eight assists, followed by Gabe Chenal with three solos and eight assists. Ben Johnson had two solos and six assists, and Reed Arnold tallied five solos and two assists. The Pirates will host the Elk Mound Mounders on Friday night in Level 3 WIAA playoff action. They will have their hands full trying to shut down the state’s number one rusher, Brady Redwine, who has 2,424 yards on the season and averages 220 yards per game. He put up 336 yards Friday night against Chetek-Weyerhaeuser. “It’s exciting this time of year to get another opportunity next Friday vs a very good Elk Mound team,” the coach added. “We will have to really focus on improving some things this week to stay alive.”

PIRATES VOLLEYBALL: fall to Eau Claire Regis at Sectional ﬁnal to end season path is easier than others. This year, I thought we had a legitimate shot based on my

observations of our opponents down the stretch.” “Unfortunately, we stumbled.

STACY COY | SENTINEL

Brooke Quimby (13) and Linda Harmon (4) go up for a block against Regis.

We misjudged court boundaries on several occasions. We hit into a block. We had communication breakdowns. We biffed easy balls out of bounds. We hit too tentatively with just .183 as a team. Regis had a couple of big hitters we could not stop. Our setters had good efficiency when we were in system. Our defense picked up a lot of tough balls. We had several scrappy and heroic plays. Our subs entered the court and played tough. When we were down two sets to one and behind by 10 points, we came out swinging. We played as though we had nothing to lose, but it was too little, too late. Still, it’s that effort and determination that should make every Pirate player & parent proud.” The Pirates finish their sea-

son with a 24-11 overall record, and an 11-1 conference record. They took a share of the West Lakeland Conference crown with Luck and won a Regional championship for the 26th time in school history. They say good-bye to three seniors, Kenna Johnson and the Oachs twins— Alaina and Olivia. “This is the most skilled team I have ever worked with. Not the most dominant. Not even the most talented. But definitely the most skilled,” the coach said. “We had no weak links. We had no ‘drill killers.’ We had a deep bench with a lot of reinforcements. We had great defense and athleticism. One thing I cannot teach is height. And when our front line has kids who are 5’4” lined up against kids who are 6’1”,

it’s a bit of a mismatch. Sure, we had our own six-footer who could pound with the state’s best hitters when she was ‘on,’ but we did not consistently have a dominant attack across the net and we got stuck in rotations with players who could not put a ball down. When passing began to fall apart in the third and fourth sets, we couldn’t even get a good second contact to put the ball up for our hitters. Tough stuff.” “There are nearly 400 teams in Wisconsin who are done playing volleyball for the season, including a few dozen who had a legitimate shot at a trip to state. We aren’t the only ones suffering right now. Hundreds of seniors are washing their jerseys for the final time.”

CAMERON—The Pirates headed to Cameron on Thursday night to take on the Colfax Vikings in Sectional semi-final action, coming away with a 3-0 win to get one step closer to the Resch Center in Green Bay. Grantsburg made quick work of the Vikings, winning by scores of 25-16, 25-16 and 25-12. “Colfax is a great team with a very knowledgeable,

committed, passionate coach. They have competed with top teams, and took us to a tie-breaker set earlier this month at the Altoona invite,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “They did not play their best tonight and we were able to capitalize on that. Their sophomore outside hitter is a formidable player and great athlete, but she had uncharacteristic hitting errors this time.” The Pirates jumped out to an early lead the first set, but the Vikings stayed in it with their scrappy defense early on. Volleyball fans were treated to several long volleys as both teams refused to the let the ball hit the floor. Grantsburg’s front line proved too much for the Vikings, though and they sealed the win with a big block by Kenna Johnson. The second set was much of the same, with the Pirates cruising to a 25-16 win with sprawling defensive plays. Grantsburg started the third set a bit flat and fell behind early, 4-9. But they pulled themselves together and eventually went on a 15-1 run to get the win to extend their season. “The Pirates played unified, solid volleyball. Nothing flashy, but just enough to get the job done.,” Allaman-Johnson said. “Defense makes the difference and when our hitters aren’t putting the ball down, we can count on our back row to fly all over the floor picking up balls.” Johnson led the Pirates on offense with 16 kills on the night. Randi Siebenthal tallied five and Olivia Ohnstad had four. Charli Siebenthal was the assist leader with 21. Defensively Jenna McNally led the way with 16 digs followed by Randi Siebenthal with 11. Linda Harmon had seven, Charli Siebenthal six, with Alaina Oachs and Johnson recording five digs each.

Edwin Raymond Zillmer, 86, a lifelong resident of the Town of Swiss, died peacefully in his favorite chair at his home with family on Friday, Oct. 27, 2017. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at Danbury United Methodist Church, with Pastor Arne Enslin officiating and organist Diane Gravesen. Interment was at Swiss Cemetery. Casketbearers were Marcus Nelson, Rindy Hughes, Michael Shabert, Brian Shabert, Tristan Nelson, Gabriela Nelson and Lonny Zillmer. Honorary casketbearers were Elwin “Shorty” Zillmer, Toby Olson, Martin Fornengo and Brynn Shabert. Ed was born to Erwin and Dorothy (Nelson) Zillmer at home on April 16, 1931. He grew up on the family farm and attended the Pansy School through the eighth grade. On Aug. 28, 1954, he was united in marriage to Joanne Johnson at Clam Falls Lutheran Church. The couple purchased the family farm from Ed’s parents and operated the farm the rest of his life. Ed farmed with his family until 1959, when they had a barn fire that destroyed everything including the livestock. Ed then went to work on the road as a lineman, installing telephone lines in the upper Midwest. He also worked a short time for Durand Brothers in Spooner and Gjonnes Construction in Frederic before starting a 27 year career with the Burnett County Highway Dept., retiring in 1992. After retirement, he enjoyed working in his large garden, showing it off and giving most of it away – especially his giant pumpkins. In his younger years, he enjoyed roller skating and square dancing with his friends. Ed was an early and longtime member of the Danbury Fire Department. He was member of the Danbury United Methodist Church more than 70 years. There he was baptized, confirmed and served on the church board. He was also a board member for the Webster Co-op, a supervisor for the Town of Swiss and a founding member of the Wild Rivers Saddle Club. Ed will be remembered as a storyteller and deer hunter, but most of all he enjoyed being a host to all his friends and the family of deer hunters that stayed at the farm. Ed is survived by his wife of 63 years, Joanne; daughters: Linda (Terry) Nelson, Robin (Jim) Shabert, special daughter Maria; four grandchildren: Marcus, Rindy, Michael and Brian; three great grandchildren: Tristan, Gabriela and Brynn, brother Elwin “Shorty” (Edie) Zillmer, many nephews, nieces, family and friends. Ed was preceded in death by sister Grace “Sis” Tschumperlin and brother Bert Zillmer. The family prefers memorials in Ed’s name to the charity of donor’s choice.

Glad that was not us on the receiving end. Ralph and I put up the outside Christmas lights on the last nice day we had. It’s hard to believe we are thinking of holiday plans. All the stores have Christmas decorations up. Time sure goes fast. Our grandson was confirmed on Sunday so we made the trip to the Twin Cities for the big event. It was nice to get together with the family. I have been hearing that our snowbirds are setting dates for when they plan to leave. We hate to see them leave, but know they look forward to warmer weather. I attended Millie Hopkins’ 80th birthday. I enjoyed her party so much. She played her accordion, sang, and yodeled. Rex Cactus band was the entertainment. Always fun to hear them. Enjoy many more birthdays, Millie. Our 500 winners were Phyllis Peterson, Lorna Erickson, Marge Traum, Dave Peterson and Sue Christensen. Roger Greeley got the 9 bid.

CHANGE TO DEED – BURNETT COUNTY TO WAYNE AND CHRISTA KING Chairman Taylor presented a request from Marvin Stoll, on behalf of Christa King, to review a deed recorded January 10, 1994, where the County of Burnett traded approximately ten acres of County Forest Land to Wayne and Christa King in return for approximately 37 acres located on Minerva Dam Road in the Town of Swiss. The request was made in order for the Kings to be able to install a septic system across the road from their home because their property did not allow enough room for it. History shows the request was granted by the county and the state to go through the process of removing the approximately 10 acres from County Forest Land to trade for approximately 37 acres. There were four restrictions on the parcel deeded to Mr. and Mrs. King; cannot be subdivided, a residential sanitary system may be installed, residential, commercial or seasonal development will not be allowed and construction of one storage building will be permitted. Mr. Stoll explained Mrs. King would like the option to be able to build a smaller home on the parcel if she chooses to sell her current residence located on the other side of Minerva Dam Road on the flowage. Discussion ensued on history of the trade, the restrictions put on the deed at the time and whether there were any foreseen reasons, at this time, not to allow the restrictions to be removed. Discussion ensued on the pros and cons of removing the restrictions. Motion to approve removing the restrictions from the deed and issuing a new deed to Mrs. King was made by Supervisor Byrne, seconded by Supervisor Lund. Motion to refer to the Natural Resources Committee for further review was made by Supervisor Awe, seconded by Supervisor Paden.

If approved at that point, following all rules of the Burnett County Land Use Ordinance, she would then be allowed to split the parcel and build accordingly.

The policy was approved by the Administration Committee on September 18, 2017. Motion to approve the policy was made by Supervisor Lundberg, seconded by Supervisor Olson. Motion carried, voice vote.

‘Fall Back’ by checking carbon monoxide detectors Properly working home heating devices and carbon monoxide detectors save lives

BURNETT COUNTY—As we turn back the clocks on Saturday, Nov. 5 and temperatures continue to fall, Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Public Health reminds residents to take action to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. “As colder weather arrives, we start seeing more carbon monoxide poisonings,” said Burnett County Health Officer Brittany Fry. “Now is the time for Burnett County residents to make sure their heating sources and carbon monoxide detectors are in good working order.” On average, carbon monoxide poisoning sends about 500 people per year to the emergency room in Wisconsin, according to data from the Wisconsin

Environmental Public Health Tracking Program. These trips to the ER for carbon monoxide poisoning are preventable when people are prepared.

Carbon monoxide safety tips • Make sure you have working carbon monoxide detectors. All homes and duplexes in Wisconsin are required to have detectors on every level, including the basement, but not the attic or storage areas. Detectors can be purchased at most hardware stores for $20-50. • Daylight Savings Time is a good time each year to replace the batteries in your detector and push the “Test” button to be sure it’s working properly.

Replace your detector every five years. • Have your furnace or wood-burning stove inspected annually. Hire a professional to make sure it is functionally sound and vents properly outside the home. • Never run a gasoline or propane heater or a grill (gas or charcoal) inside your home or in an unventilated garage. Any heating system that burns fuel produces carbon monoxide. Use a battery-powered detector where you have fuel burning devices but no electric outlets, such as in tents, cabins, RVs, and boats with enclosed cabins. • Generators should be run at a safe distance (at least 20 feet) from the home. Never run a generator in the home or garage, or right next to windows or doors. • Never run a car in an enclosed space. If a vehicle is running, you must open a door to the outside. At high levels, carbon monoxide can cause death within minutes. Symptoms of overexposure to carbon monoxide include headache, fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea, and confusion. If you think you may be experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning, or your detector sounds an alarm, head outside immediately for fresh air and call 911. • Visit the Wisconsin Department of Health Services website for more information about carbon monoxide poisoning. • To learn more about the Wisconsin carbon monoxide detector requirements, visit the Department of Safety and Professional Services’ website.

This was realized when Benson Law Office was working with a client in an attempt to negotiate a land purchase/trade involving this particular parcel, between his client and the Town of Daniels. This approval will allow for the deed to be corrected and legally turn that property over to the Town of Daniels as it was intended to be done.

When all around we hear fearful talk of disaster and hard times coming we will make a difference in a world surrounded by hopelessness and fear. God cares about creation. When God at the very beginning looked out on creation he saw what he had made was very good. In Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love, Pastor Danny Wheeler

Instead of worrying about the way things are we need to get out to do what is expected of us. We were made in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image to be just that, the image of God in the world.

with food donated by local businesses and friends of the music department. Raffles included a 50/50 cash prize, Daeffler Quality Meat $100 gift certificate, and a basket Donated from Bean’s Country Griddle with a value of $50.
