Two dead following crash GRANTSBURG—Two Grantsburg men are dead following a onecar rollover in the early morning hours of Saturday, Nov. 12. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office responded just after 7 a.m. Saturday morning to a report of a motor vehicle crash on Wood Lake Road near South Williams Road in the Town of Wood River.

Preliminary investigation results indicate a 2007 Saturn Aura traveling on Wood Lake Road left the roadway and overturned, ejecting the passenger and partially ejecting the driver. Neither was wearing a safety belt at the time of the crash. The driver, Jorden Otis, 19, of Grantsburg; and his passenger, Joel

Rauchbauer, 19, of Frederic, both 2015 graduates of Grantsburg High School, were pronounced dead at the scene by the Burnett County Medical Exam- Joel Rauchbauer iner. The Grantsburg Fire Department and North Memorial Ambulance also responded to the incident. No further information will be Jorden Otis released at this time; investigation and crash reconstruction continues by the Burnett County Sheriff’s office. From press release

SIREN—With area lakes dotted with watercraft all summer, you knew it would only be a matter of time before one of Burnett County’s lakes tested positive for zebra mussels. That confirmation came from the Department of Natural Resources earlier this fall when they confirmed Big McKenzie Lake in eastern Burnett and western Washburn County had tested positive for the invasive species. “This is not good,” Burnett County County Conservationist Dave Ferris told members of the county’s natural resource committee on Thursday. “Especially because Big McKenzie is a drainage lake.” With water flowing north to Middle McKenzie Lake, then to Lower McKenzie Lake and finally the Namekagon River, there’s no telling how the species may spread. “The water chemistry in Middle McKenzie is slightly better than Big McKenzie,” Ferris observed. “There’s evidence better water chemistry may slow the spread — but we don’t know for sure.” To cloud the issue, water flows south out of Big McKenzie Lake into a cranberry marsh, into Lipsett Lake and eventually into the Yellow River. “Different bodies of water have different levels of susceptibility,” he pointed out. “We just don’t know what’ll happen next.” To that end, Ferris will be joining DNR officials at a Spooner meeting in December to figure out a game plan on how to deal with the infestation. “We don’t know how to fight it,” Ferris explained. “There are not a whole lot of solutions out there — just a whole pile of questions.” The primary question may be “Why are zebra mussels so toxic for a lake?” The main effect a zebra mussel invasion has on an ecosystem is a restructuring of the food web — moving production from the open waters of a lake down to the bottom. Zebra mussels are amazingly effective filter feeders and they essentially suck all of the phytoplankton and algae (or tiny plants) out of the water column. These tiny plants are important food for zooplankton (tiny crustaceans) that are, in turn, SEE MUSSELS, PAGE 6

What now?

Someone asked me the other day, “Now that the election is over, what will you write about in your column?” She made it sound like I was a one-trick pony. I’ll admit, it was easy to pen columns as Hillary and the Donald did battle, but now that the dust has settled, it is time to move on. For most of us that is. I can envision cartoonists and humorists across the country having a heyday with this bit of news and the writers at Saturday Night Live chomping at the bit to portray the Donald in various sketches which could rival Dan Aykroyd’s stellar performances in the show’s early years. But the rest of us can now Seems to prepare for winter. Me Whether we want it to or not, it’s coming. The signs are all Todd Beckmann there — no leaves on the trees, the grass has stopped growing and we’ve had our first hard frost. My barometer for the strength of the coming winter is whether we can make it to Thanksgiving without snow — it’s only a week away but I think we can make it. I for one hope so —I have yet to put the plastic up on the screened-in porch. Whether global warming is real or not, these 50-plus degree days over the first week or two in November surely make even the most skeptical consider it. But I have heard so many conflicting reports about the winter headed our way, I’m not sure what to believe any more. First, I heard it will be an El Nino winter — warmer and less snow. But then someone countered that saying, “No, it’ll be a La Nina year — colder and a ton of snow.” It seems like it can’t snow if it’s too cold, so maybe we need a third option in that regard. I know the snowmobilers and all the businesses which rely on them would like a snowier year this year than last. Someone else theorized that now that the new highway commissioner, Mike Hoefs, has had his first winter under his belt and it was a fairly mild winter, we are in for a doozy. Then, some lady told me last week that there are very few acorns this year. Don’t know about you, but it was always hammered into my head that the number of acorns is directly proportional to the amount of snow and cold we will have to endure. Maybe the squirrels know something and have been collecting all summer to make it seem like there are no acorns. But then I hear the State of Wisconsin is preparing for the worst — according to Hoefs, the 72 counties in the state have spent $31.5 million on salt — and that’s just for state roads. I know it’s good to be prepared but that’s a lot of margaritas if we don’t get all the snow and ice they are anticipating.

Mars or bust? A year after moviegoers watched actor Matt Damon in “The Martian,” a science-fiction adventure about an astronaut inadvertently stranded on Mars, the red planet is the topic of a series that aired this past weekend. The National Geographic Channel presented what it called a “global miniseries event” that mixed a dramatization of From the the first manned Publisher’s missions to Mars with scientists Desk and entrepreneurs that want to get Tom Stangl people on the red planet in the next 15 years. Elon Musk, the CEO of PayPal and SpaceX, is one of the most ardent proponents of getting humans to Mars. In October, Musk unveiled an interplanetary transport system to take humans to Mars in 80 days, constructing a sustainable human colony of a million people. It’s ambitious and could be fatal. Candidates for the first missions must be prepared to die, according to Musk. In his remarks to the International Astronautically Congress, Musk said he wants to make a trip

to Mars seem possible, that it could be achieved in our lifetimes and make it feasible that people would want to make the trip. The interplanetary transport would launch from the same pad as Apollo 11. When the spaceship gets in orbit, the booster returns to the launch pad and a fuel container as large as the spaceship is placed on top and sent to orbit to fuel the transport. Methane is used as the fuel, and can be captured on Mars for the return trip. The Daily Mail newspaper in England has a story on its website about the series, as well as a look at a model of igloo type structures where astronauts would live. Bricks made of Martian soil, baked in a microwave, would be used to make the small structures. They will also use recycled spacecraft parts, including a double air-locked entrance, all designed to protect the early settlers from Mars’ unforgiving atmosphere and freezing temperatures. Other features, like exercise equipment, plates and cutlery to eat from and VR headsets will be 3D printed on the planet. Carbon dioxide converters would be housed in the basement of the homes to create breathing air. Plants would be grown in the upper portion of the dome to supplement freeze dried meals. With lower gravity, the new Martian

residents will have to exercise to prevent the loss of bone mass. National Geographic surveyed 2,000 British people about living on Mars. Almost a third, 30 per cent, said they would consider living on Mars. Almost a quarter, 24 per cent, said they would definitely consider living on Mars even if it was a one-way ticket with no prospect of returning to Earth. The most common reason for wanting to move to Mars was Earth getting overcrowded (31.3 percent) followed by pure adventure (31.1 percent), with global warming and environmental issues a close third. One thing’s for sure, if humans are going to get to Mars, it will happen thanks to the efforts of Elon Musk. His determined vision of finding ways to make it happen is the sheer force of will necessary to get such an immense undertaking from vision to reality. I hope I’m around to see it happen. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

Confessions of a rail-thin cook

GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe

Cooking is not something I enjoy. It’s a tossup whether the preparation or the cleanup holds top honors in dislike. There are so many other things I’d rather be doing. Of course, one has to eat, so I do from time to time make a day of it, simmering giant pots of soups, chilies and other red-sauce-based dishes. Each will feed me for a week or better and I freeze them in several serving containers. Last week I ate split pea soup for five days, changing it up with cheese and crackers one day, toast and fruit another and other simple sides. Breakfast, too, is prepared: a ready made pot of a rolled oat and barley blend kept in the fridge. A quick twist of the cap to pour in a handful of nuts, add a little jelly, honey or summer-picked berries from the Newbie in freezer, zap it for a minute, and done. Once I made sponge candy. the NorthNever again — though it actually turned out quite good, all that precise woods measuring and timing are not for me. I’m much more of a “throw things Lori Callahan together” or “let’s use the rest of this up” sort of cook. At times, I’ll mix unconventional things together with varying results. One morning I theorized that mashed sweet potato would work as my natural sweetener in my breakfast cereal. It seemed logical: I like oatmeal; I like sweet potatoes; should be good. It wasn’t. It appears taste buds have no logic. I’m not sure what happened — possibly some chemical reaction morphing the flavors into something altogether different and disgusting. However, leftover little smokies wrapped in bacon and deposited into the pea soup was delicious. Cooking outdoors, too, is far more maintenance-free and it’s enjoyable to sit by the fire with a favorite beverage while one waits. Early sunsets add a little challenge, since my vision isn’t what it used to be and those darn bugs I can’t see like to swim in my cup. If I take a swallow and feel chunks cross my tongue, I spit it out. Tiny ones may slip by, but until the apocalypse, I’m not consciously getting my protein in that manner. A friend regularly prepares what I consider extravagant and too-much-trouble meals: meats marinated overnight; rich, flavorful sauces; fresh produce expertly seasoned and roasted, and more savory sauces; baked desserts spilling over in the oven filling the room with sweet aroma, and hearty appetizers that could suffice as meals. My friend delights not only in the cooking, but in the eating. I had to tell her one day when she couldn’t understand that I didn’t share her enthusiasm, “You and I eat for different reasons.” She was puzzled. “You eat because you love the food,” I explained. “I eat to fuel my body.” I’m a little envious of Sentinel Wild Chow Columnist Lisa Erickson and others like her who happily whip up always-delicious snacks, meals and desserts for all who enter their doors. I guess I’ll never have friends stopping over for the latest delicacy or a cooking column unless it’s under a “How to Cook with Limited Actual Cooking” heading, with an “outcomes not guaranteed” disclaimer. Who could ever trust a rail-thin cook anyway? Though I will be stuffing and roasting a Thanksgiving turkey, the question is, what will I find to add to the baste? The peaches and citrus fruit mixture of a few years ago turned out quite tasty. Other years have been less so. It’s always a surprise. If it’s palatable, it’s good enough for me. And, the dogs don’t care — they’ll eat any meaty leftovers offered. Here’s wishing you a happy Thanksgiving and joy, or speed and ease, in your preparations.

Sadly, we said farewell to one our former local businessmen this past week, Eldo Anderson. We are very grateful for the many memorials that are coming in to the Senior Center in his name. We heard that this was a record growing season this year, helped by this continued awesome November weather. I know of some who just picked the last of their gardens or finished raking leaves and winterizing their properties. Did I mention this weekend is the beginning of Wisconsin men’s nine-day holiday? Known to most of us as Deer Hunting Season. So, when the men go shooting, the women go shopping! I think I’ll start by attending the Ladies Day

The Siren Senior Center will once again host the Community Free Thanksgiving dinner. If you can help in any way – with money or food donation or volunteer work – please contact Pastor Tom Cook of Siren Methodist Church at 715566-0110.

Instead, Frederic Senior Center will host spades at 1 p.m. on Nov. 18, so we will still be able to play. The Frederic Senior Center is located one block behind the Bremer Bank. Do you want to get into the holiday spirit? Bethany Lutheran Church is going to help this happen. The church is sponsoring a Christmas tour of four houses

MUSSELS: Boat trafďŹ c appears to be culprit

Webster man sentenced for sexual assault

crucial to the diet of a lot of little fish. Which, of course, are then eaten by bigger fish. This reduction in plankton leads to dramatic changes in water quality â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it comes at a cost. By pulling food down to the bottom and excreting waste, zebra mussels concentrate nutrients at the bottom of a lake. And, since the water is then clearer, sunlight filters down further. This leads to an explosion of algae and aquatic plant growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 170 percent increase according to one study. Luckily, winter is approaching and it will give agencies time to devise a plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at it over winter,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing for sure is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to start an education campaign for boaters on the hazards of the zebra mussel.â&#x20AC;? Why is that important? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no real clue on how the species got into the lake in the first place,â&#x20AC;? Ferris admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The assumption would be it came from boat traffic.â&#x20AC;? He said there are lakes in the Twin Cities area which have the zebra mussels, and with so many recreational boaters from the Twin Cities using Burnett County lakes, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a stretch to blame the boaters. In fact, a DNR blog on the topic had a whole list of boater doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Boaters should look for stowaways on their boat hulls, motors, anchors and trailers and remove them by scraping or using a pressure washer. Also, zebra mussel larvae can sneak into any water aboard your boat, so boaters need to be sure to drain the water from motors, boat bilges, live wells and bait wells, and clean the weeds from the boat, motor and trailer before leaving the boat ramp. Likewise, anglers should make sure to check minnow traps for mussels and make sure not to transport bait or water from bait buckets across different waterways. Ferris said the zebra mussel, first discovered in Lake Superior in 1988 and has since spread to all five Great Lakes, is believed to have been transported from the Far East in the ballast waters of ocean-going ships.

BARRONâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;A 46-year-old Webster man was sentenced to 15 years in prison in Barron County Circuit Court Friday for second degree sexual assault of a child and child enticement-sexual contact. According to the criminal complaint on file with the court, George E. Phelps III, had illegal contact with a female under the age of 16 on Dec. 1, 2014. Phelps pleaded guilty to the two crimes during his plea hearing in September. On the enticement count, a Class D Felony, Judge Maureen D. Boyle sentenced Phelps to 15 years in prison â&#x20AC;&#x201D;five years behind bars and 10 years extended supervision. On the sexual assault charge, a Class C Felony, Judge Boyle sentenced Phelps to 20 years in prison â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 10 years behind bars and 10 years extended supervi-

sion. She ruled the sentences would run consecutively (one after the other). Three additional crimes, using

a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, exposing genitals to a child and second degree recklessly endangering the safety of a child, were read-in to the record for sentencing purposes and then dismissed. In addition to his time behind bars, Phelps must have no contact with his victim or with his victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and no unsupervised contact with minors. He is not eligible for Challenge Incarceration or Substance Abuse Programs. Phelps must register as a lifetime sex offender and he must submit a DNA sample for the national registry. Phelps was remanded to the Barron County Jail immediately following sentencing to await his transfer to the Dodge Correctional Facility. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

Well-known burglar sentenced for crimes BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;A 30-year-old Grantsburg man will be serving the next six months in jail following his sentencing hearing in Burnett County Circuit Court on Thursday. Earl J. Baker had pleaded guilty to concealing stolen property, operating a vehicle without the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consent and attempted burglary stemming from a series of events between March 2014 and April 2015. Baker was originally on the docket for sentencing in August but failed to show, at which time a warrant was issued for his arrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You managed to rack up quite a substantial list of alleged crimes since you were last before me,â&#x20AC;? Judge Ken Kutz told Baker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, you have yet to be charged with anything and, regardless, those crimes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impact todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentencing.â&#x20AC;? A pre-sentence investigation and an alternative PSI were ordered before Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial sentencing date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see both PSIs focused on his substance abuse issues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his need for treatment,â&#x20AC;? Kutz continued. Defense attorney Kate Murtaugh agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was sober for over a year before he had a relapse in August and we all seem to know what happened

next,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if he could maintain his sobriety, he could be a productive member of society.â&#x20AC;? To accomplish that, chemical abuse experts need to probe the underlying issues of Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abuse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A long period of probation could help him address his AODA issues,â&#x20AC;? Murtaugh suggested. To that end, Burnet County District Attorney Bill Norine said the plea agreement in place called for six months in jail and three years probation, plus $2,172 in restitution.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the victims in this case was looking for some jail time and restitution,â&#x20AC;? Norine pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This agreement meets that request.â&#x20AC;? During his allocution, Baker told the court he thought six months was a fair deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry for my actions,â&#x20AC;? he said simply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there are some deep-rooted issues at play here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; my life has been a roller-coaster.â&#x20AC;? The judge, not necessarily bound by the plea agreement, said jail was a necessary component to the sentence to help protect the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the crimes of receiving stolen property and taking and driving a car without consent, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sentencing you to six months in jail for each crime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to be served concurrently (at the same time),â&#x20AC;? Judge Kutz ruled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not meant so much as a punishment but rather as a way to help you with your meth addiction.â&#x20AC;? He said for the attempted burglary charge, he was sentencing Baker to three years of probation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you are done with the jail time, I encourage you to apply to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug court,â&#x20AC;? Judge Kutz told Baker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think drug court will go a long way toward giving you the structure you seem to do well with.â&#x20AC;?

Tough to be a cop BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Having just returned from a funeral for a sheriff’s deputy killed in the line of duty and two more law enforcement officers being shot last week, Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers told Siren Village Board members it is getting more difficult to be a cop than it once was. “We used to go to domestics by ourselves,” he stated. “We used to go to ‘hot calls’ alone.” He said that’s something law enforcement officers are backing away from.

Chris Sybers

“In light of this situation, are officers getting more training?” Siren Village Board President Dave Alden queried. In his reply, Sybers said it wasn’t more training, just ensuring officers are safe. “We are seeing officers from the different agencies backing each other up —something we didn’t see so much previously,” he said. “Plus, at shift change, we are always asking the guy coming on duty if he’s wearing his vest —and telling them to stay aware of their surroundings out there.” Of immense help has been the cooperation between the various law enforcement agencies in the county. “We’ve been using these intergovernmental agreements more and more,” Sybers continued. “It used to be we’d ask another department if they wanted our help — now when we hear the call on the scanner, we just go.” Trustee Dave Doty said the problem appears to be people losing respect for law enforcement officers and his advice to Sybers? “Be safe out there.”

2017 Budget

gle person was in attendance to voice opposition to the 2017 budget when the trustees had a budget hearing to open Thursday’s meeting. Even though the 2017 expenditure budget of $1,004,354, is about $35,000, almost 2.5 percent, higher than the 2016 budget. Probably the main reason no one showed to voice consternation over the budget is the fact village taxes are projected to stay relatively flat in 2017. With the village’s assessed valuation dropping about $500,000, the proposed mill rate is inching lower, from $620.26 per $100,000 of assessed value in 2016 to $620.12 for the same property in 2017. But the biggest reason for the lack of public input is the fact taxes will be dropping slightly in the coming year. The general property tax levy – the amount the village needs to assess its taxpayers in order to meet its budget – stands at approximately $384,393. There was some concern because even though health insurance premiums came in lower than anticipated and took $3,000 off the budget, the document was still $5,000-plus in the red. Alden was of the mind that the money should not be taken away from individual departments and was willing to delay budget approval until December to give trustees a chance to decide how to tackle the problem. But Trustee Rudy Mothes had a solution. “Let’s take the money from the fund balance,” he said. “The balance is healthy and can take a hit.” In other business: • The board agreed to $15,000 in repairs to the village’s water tower — repairs which are designed to retard contamination. If the weather holds, the work is to be done yet this year. Otherwise, work will be completed in the spring. • The village will be saving roughly $100,000 when it agreed to refinance the 2007 general obligation notes it sold to create Tax-Increment Financing District No. 2. “It seems like a no-brainer when it could save us $100,000,” Alden quipped. • Sybers told trustees the new police squad should be in the village this week. • Alden reported the new assisted living center, the site of the former Capeside Cove Nursing Home, is hoping to be open and operational after the first of the year.

Prison for burglary spree SIREN—A 33-year-old Webster man will spend the next five years in prison following his burglary sentencing last week in Burnett County Circuit Court. After a crime spree spanning 14 months, and no fewer than 34 crimes, including burglary, theft and criminal damage to property, Alan D. Doriott pleaded no contest to five counts of burglary. In addition to the prison time, Doriott must serve five years of extended supervision. Judge Ken Kutz ordered concurrent sentences for each of the five counts. The judge also ordered the defendant pay $35,145.28 in restitution. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel Alan Doriott

Village taxes up in Webster WEBSTER—The Webster Village Board approved a 2017 expenditure budget of $614,830 at its November meeting last week — the action came during the meeting which was preceded by a public hearing on the 8-page budget document. As no residents were at the hearing to voice objections over the budget, trustees took the col-

lective silence as a sign they are managing the village in an appropriate manner. The bottom line for taxpayers is that village taxes will be going up — a 3.2 percent increase over 2016 rates. The assessed mill rate for 2017 stands at $11.57, meaning a property owner with a $100,000 assessment will pay an estimated $1,157

in villages taxes. The owner of a property valued at $75,000, will owe $867.75 in estimated taxes. That compares to $1,121 and $840.75 in taxes owed, respectively, for the same properties in the 2016 budget. The entire budget can be viewed at the village hall during normal business hours. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

Rainfall lets up in time for winter SIREN—Ask anyone and they will have an opinion about how much it rained this spring, summer and fall. In fact, the 2016 Burnett County rainfall was a light-hearted agenda item on Thursday’s natural resource committee meeting schedule. Area lakes are up. There’s water over roads. There’s standing water where there’s never been standing water before, and some landowners jokingly claim they are being taxed as owning lakeshore property because there is so much water.

One property owner near Webster has emptied almost 50 inches of water from his rain gauge since the last week of April. “Rain gauges are notoriously inconsistent,” County Conservationist Dave Ferris told members. He said Minong was a case in point. “The weather station in Minong recorded 41 inches of rain for the year, while Minong FTS recorded 32 inches of rain,” Ferris continued. “That’s a nine-inch difference and they are only six miles away from each other.” The continual rainfalls that

plagued the county most of the year have let up. The standing water is dissipating, and while 2016 was wet, area rainfall comparisons show 2016 to simply be an above-average year. In fact, according to a graph Ferris handed out at Thursday’s meeting, this year’s rainfall, right around 35 inches (Grantsburg station), is comparable to 2015, but both years take a back seat to 2014, when rainfall totals exceeded 40 inches at all area reporting stations —Minong, Grantsburg, Spooner and Webster. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The walls are up and they finished the roof last week,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plan is for the whole building to be enclosed by Thanksgiving.â&#x20AC;? For his part, Ehalt said the structure should come under budget â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking at $5.7 or $5.8 million as a walk-in price instead of the $6 million the county had earmarked for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can always use the extra funds as part of the maintenance budget for the new building,â&#x20AC;? he said. Hoefs said Kueny Architects is still behind schedule due to the problems earlier this fall at the plant where the pre-cast wall sections were being made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to catch up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are doing the best they can,â&#x20AC;? Hoefs remarked. â&#x20AC;˘ Hoefs said he is also considering placing materials, like salt and sand, at outlying locations in the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we stored salt at the Town of Jackson town shop, our guys could refi ll right on the route and get right back on the road rather than returning to the main shop,â&#x20AC;? he reasoned. He said the Town of Scott could be another possibility. â&#x20AC;˘ Even though numbers, 66 vehicles and 285 spectators, at the September radar run at the airport were down from May, mainly due to poor weather, tentative dates of May 20 and Sept. 16, 2017 have been set for Automotive Adventures to host their event again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though it rained some of the time, a lot of the vendors sold out of their product so they were happy,â&#x20AC;? Airport Operations Supervisor Chuck Schultz shared.

In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ In hopes of maintaining a high level of service, Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, told members of his plan to house plow trucks in Danbury and Grantsburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can house two trucks in Danbury and two in Grantsburg and I have room for nine in the new building, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have all 13 plow trucks under cover and plugged in,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save our guys having to come in early, start their rigs and get them scraped, plus Danbury and Grantsburg like our county trucks parked in those towns because they can start plowing right away â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it gives them a higher level of service.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ In related news, Hoefs said the new highway shop is progressing nicely.

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The days of Lake Roundabout may be numbered following action by the Burnett County administrator last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent four hours on the phone Monday with the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Bureau of Aeronautics (BOA) discussing the situation,â&#x20AC;? Nate Ehalt told members of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure committee on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided we would try raising the bottom elevation three feet to drain the water out of those two ponds.â&#x20AC;? With winter weather right around the corner, Ehalt said it would probably be February before the county finds out from DNR whether that plan will work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The county has been meeting weekly or bi-weekly with these agencies to keep the pressure on as far as solving the problem,â&#x20AC;? Ehalt pointed out. And to some extent it has helped as the county should get a $400,000 reimbursement check by the end of the year for its portion of the construction of the new intersection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BOA wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign off on the project with the standing water out there,â&#x20AC;? Ehalt continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Burnett Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault that water is there and argued that the county is losing investment options by not having access to that money.â&#x20AC;?

Honoring those who serve GRANTSBURG— Veterans Day, November 11th, is an annual holiday in the United States that honors all people who have served in the military, both living and deceased veterans, in wartime and peacetime. The brave men and women of our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard demonstrate a resolute spirit and unmatched selflessness since they were willing to give themselves to make a difference in the lives of others. Our veterans left everything they knew and loved and served with exemplary dedication and courage so we could all know a safer America and a more just world. They have been tested in ways the rest of us may never fully understand, and it is our duty to fulfill

our sacred obligation to our veterans and their families. Burnett Medical Center would like to thank these veterans for their service, to acknowledge their contributions to our nation, and to emphasize all they have sacrificed on behalf of our freedom. Not just on Veterans Day, but every day, let us show them the extraordinary gratitude they so rightly deserve, and let us recommit to pledging our full support for them in all they do. We’d especially like to thank those veterans who are residents living here at Continuing Care Center and to those veterans who continue to assist their community as BMC employees. We salute you and thank you for the many freedoms we enjoy because of your service.

SUBMITTED

Veterans at the Continuing Care Center include (from left), Laverne Sandberg (Army), Ron Ylitalo (Navy), Ken Vallin (Army), Andy Anderson (Navy), Connie Martinson (Army), Robert Hammer (Army), Robert Peterson (Navy), Chet Lobert (Air Force), Butch Harmon (Army), Kathryn Hallgren (ADMI) and Bert Lener (Navy).

Siren honors NHS inductees

Mock trial makes court vivid for SHS students

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Siren High School National Honor Society (NHS) hosted its annual induction ceremony for its new members at The Lodge at Crooked Lake on the last Tuesday in October. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inductees were Alayna Johnson, Greta Johnson, Ben Lemieux, and Cassandra Maslow. Guest Speaker Jan Hoehne had a lot of advice for the new inductees, primarily focusing on the core values NHS members strive to live by: Knowledge, Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Character. It was a special night for the inductees and their friends and family, as they were able to celebrate the accomplishment of being selected into the National Honor Society.

SUBMITTED

This years Inductees include(from left) Ben Lemieux, Cassandra Maslow, Alayna Johnson and Greta Johnson.

MENU Nov. 21-25 Note: Breakfast available at all schools

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Students of Anastasia Thullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th grade English class got a taste of courtroom drama when they held a mock trial to determine a defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guilt or innocence. The defendant was Sasha Uskov, a young man who is the main character in Anton Chekovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short story, A Problem, which the students read and evaluated in Ms. Thullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class. In the story, Sasha forges a promissory note, cashes it for money but intends to secretly pay it back before his deed is detected. When the note comes due, Sasha has no means of paying it. To avoid trouble, his illegal act becomes a family secret. Sasha believes he should not be treated as a criminal because he has no money, was promised money from his friend to begin with, and knows many others his age who have forged these notes. Due to his â&#x20AC;&#x153;troubled childhoodâ&#x20AC;? and the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s code of honor, his uncles confront him and the matter becomes a moral dilemma. Some relatives feeling Sasha should be punished while others want to keep it hushed. His uncles decide to preserve the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor and keep Sashaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s act a secret. However, Sashaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remorse is short-lived. He admits to himself he is a true criminal. He demands more money from his uncle, knowing full well he will never repay it.

SUBMITTED

Elle Emery, Jacob Rust, Daniel Rogrund andTriston Ortez were jurors, and Silas Vasatkas (second from left) played a police officer in the mock trial.

Mounting the Siren High School Auditorium stage, students played the role of Sasha (Devin Rand/Tuff Heitz) and other family members had to decide his fate, while other students looked on and formulated their own judgment. During two class periods, prosecuting attorneys (Cassandra Maslow/Bernice Taylor) and defense attorneys (Paetyn McKnight/Lukas Hunter) interrogated and cross-examined witnesses (business owner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hannah Mangelsen, police officer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Silas Vasatka.) Relatives were played by Jacob Rust, Logan Harwick, Cody Gerhardson, Maddy Hall, Olivia Hall and Alayna Johnson. The judge (Brennan Koball/ Tyler Miller) did an admirable

job weighing the evidence, hearing objections and sustaining or overruling any â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-admissibleâ&#x20AC;? proceedings, Ms. Thull said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jury members observed their classmates and were more than eager to point out inconsistencies in the testimony and arguments,â&#x20AC;? she added. Students unanimously determined Sasha was guilty of his crime and should be imprisoned, especially since he robbed the uncle who had provided him with a stable home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sirenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scholars used facts to sentence Sasha to life imprisonment for crimes committed, because he had not learned the simple lesson of humility,â&#x20AC;? commented Ms. Thull.

Perfect game Tony Wilson of Danbury rolled a perfect 300 game a week ago Monday night at the Black and Orange Lanes in Webster. Other scores included a 297 and a 202 for a 799 series.

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—It seems that the volleyball season goes so quickly. It is hard to believe the Sentinel Sports Team got together, with help from our esteemed coaches, to select the Burnett County All Star team for the fall 2016 volleyball campaign. Here are our selections. What do you think? You may agree or disagree and that is your prerogative. So, here we go. Our First Team consists of Taylor Howe (Webster), Abby Kosloski (Siren) and Rhiana Pochman, Cassidy Lee, Kenna Johnson and Claire Palmquist, all of Grantsburg. “Taylor is an exceptional all around player and three-year starter,” says her coach. “She stepped into a leadership role this year as a captain and has led by example.” Taylor had 302 kills, 158 assists, 19 blocks, 53 digs and 55 service aces. “Abby is an all around player and has stepped up for her team after losing seven seniors last year,” says her coach.”She is consistent in the front with a 25 percent kill percentage and 37 percent of the blocks of her team. She has an 81 percent service average and 90 percent passing. Both Taylor and Abby are juniors so it will be exciting to see them in action next season. Rhiana finished the season with 378 kills, 15 assists, 25 aces, 84 blocks (solo and assisted) and 193 digs. Cassidy concluded her campaign with 208 kills, seven aces, eight assists, 42 total blocks and 26 digs. Claire had a whopping 598 assists to go along with nine kills, 34 aces, three total blocks and 143 digs. These three girls are seniors, so they had a fine season to end their career at Grantsburg High School. A junior, Kenna Johnson tallied 206 kills, three aces, 61 assists, 42 total blocks with 114 digs. Our Honorable Mention team consists of Sophie Phernetton and Skyler Winkler (Webster), Amy Stanford (Siren) with Randi Siebenthal and Jenna McNally coming from Grantsburg. Sophie (a senior) garnered 164 kills, 55 blocks with 55 aces. “Sophie is a hard worker who strives to continue to improve. She has been a great example of hard work and dedication for her team,” says her coach. Skyler (a junior) is the “energizer bunny” quotes the coach. “She is always looking for a way to pick up her teammates and she is willing to be flexible to play whatever role will most help the team.” She claimed 156 digs, 75 kills and 23 aces for Webster. Siren junior Amy Stanford “was our main setter,” says her coach. “She plays very smart and is a force to be reckoned with. She serves a 91 percent accuracy and is a great all-around player.” From the Pirates, “Randi started the season in a contributing role before earning a starting position,” says her coach. “Her hitting got stronger and more consistent throughout the season and she finished as one of our best passers/defensive players.” Randi finished her sophomore season with 62 aces, 96 kills, 17 assists, two total blocks and 268 digs. Jenna McNally, also a sophomore, tallied 50 aces, three kills, 16 assists and 360 digs. Our Players to Watch include Kaitlyn Lee (Webster), Julia Cederberg (Siren), Linda Harmon and Charli Siebenthal, both of Grantsburg. Both Kaitlyn (freshman) and Julia (sophomore) saw considerable playing time this season with their respective teams, with Linda and Charli making contributions for the Pirates. The Sentinel Team is looking forward to seeing them all in action next year. There you have it. Are we on the same page? Congratulations to all the athletes who were chosen. Thank you to all the remaining players on the Webster, Siren and Grantsburg teams along with the coaches and fans. It was an exciting season with thrills and chills to boot. Until next season... so long.

flu, sore throats, bronchitis, and ear infections are caused by viruses, making antibiotics useless because they only kill bacteria. Taking antibiotics for viral infections will not cure the infection, stop spreading the illness, or help you feel better. Using antibiotics the wrong way can cause bacteria to grow into superbugs. These superbugs are much harder to kill with antibiotics making your next infection harder to treat, this is called antibiotic resistance. To avoid antibiotic resistance, remember to: · Take your prescribed antibiotics exactly as your provider instructs · Take all of your antibiotics exactly as prescribed (even if you are feeling better) · Don’t save antibiotics for the next illness or share them with others · Don’t pressure your provider for antibiotics 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

Of course, all vehicles should be in tip-top shape Gary Nelson for winter travel. Tires are hugely important. If you suspect your tire tread is looking sketchy, stop by your local mechanic and ask. Insurance companies still pay claims for those who slide off icy roads due to bad tires but there is a surcharge on the auto policy for the “at-fault” accident, which is a collision. You want to avoid that as it’s cheaper to buy new tires. Another thing to look at is towing coverage. Some policies automatically add that and some don’t. If you don’t have a separate AAA membership you may want to look at your policy to make sure towing coverge is there. It’s cheap to buy and can save you some money if the tow truck has to be called. Beyond that, keep a good amount of gas in the tank, always check the oil, and make sure you have fluid in the windshield wiper reservoir. Insurance policies don’t cover mechanical problems but many can be avoided with tender-loving care.

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

Peridot is an all-white, green-eyed, 1½-year-old male cat who was recently surrendered to the shelter. This handsome guy was originally adopted as a kitten, but returned to us because his owners said he just started to mark his territory around the house. Since coming to the shelter, we have seen no signs of this behavior, but need to share this information with Peridot anyone interested in adopting this fellow. Peridot is front-declawed and a big boy of 12 pounds. We consider him “special needs” because he is also deaf. Below are some interesting facts about white cats and deafness: According to www.vetstreet.com, “About half of all Slyvia white cats are deaf, and those numbers increase in cats with blue eyes. Deafness is often found on the same side as the blue eye — left blue eye, deaf in left ear; two blue eyes, completely deaf. The reason is heredity. The roll of the genetic dice that produces a white, blue-eyed and typically long-haired cat is more likely than not to produce a deaf one as well.” Peridot is friendly. He came right up to me and climbed in my lap when I entered his spacious home (dog kennel converted into cat condo), but soon became preoccupied with watching what was going on outside in the play yard and ignored me. I believe that once he finds his furever home, he will be a good lap warmer and your best friend. Peridot came from a home with no other animals or small children, and would prefer to keep it that way. My hopes are that someone will give this beautiful creature a chance at a good life and a loving family. Sylvia is a black and white, 1½-year-old cat that was abandoned with her six kittens back in August. She has been featured at least twice before and is patiently waiting for her turn to be adopted. I’ve been told that Sylvia is a bit shy at first, until she gets to know you, but she seemed very receptive to my visit with her. She has a playful side to her too, which some at the shelter call a “catitude.” Sylvia seems to really like other cats and dogs, but you need to make sure that your cat or dog would welcome her with open paws. This girl has some unique markings, especially on her face. None of us understands why she hasn’t been adopted, but Sylvia longs to find a home she can call her own and get out of her condo to be free to explore and nap safe and sound inside! Please consider her when looking for a feline addition to your household. Mark your calendars for our upcoming “Howliday” Bake Sale fundraiser on Saturday, December 10 at The Shops at The Lodge at 7711 Park West Street in Siren. If you are interested in donating baked goods, contact the shelter and ask for Shelter Manager Cheri. If you are just interested in eating our baked goods, come to the Bake Sale! All proceeds benefit the shelter. If you are interested in adopting Peridot, Sylvia or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (716) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

Public asked to report zebra mussels and other invasive species SPOONER— Lakeshore property owners and others enjoying the remaining late fall days on the water are asked to be on the lookout for zebra mussels, an aquatic invasive species recently verified in Big McKenzie Lake in Burnett and Washburn Counties. A lakeshore property owner noticed the mussels attached to his pier as he removed it in October. He took the specimens to DNR who verified they were zebra mussels. DNR staff found a handful of additional zebra mussels at two separate locations — a water intake and a boat lift — during follow-up monitoring. The discovery is the first inland zebra mussel population verified in the 12-county area of northwest Wisconsin. DNR and county partners will host an informational meeting on Thursday, Dec. 1 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station to discuss the find. Pamela Toshner, DNR lake biologist, said the Big McKenzie zebra mussel discovery reinforces the need for boaters to take action to

stop aquatic invasive species. “We are fortunate in northwest Wisconsin to have lakes that are mostly free from aquatic invasive species, so this finding is of concern,” Toshner said. “All boaters have the ability to stop the spread of invasive species by removing plants and draining water before leaving the boat landing and anyone who enjoys area lakes can help by keeping an eye out for invasives.” To help communities respond to this aquatic invasive species threat, DNR has already committed a $20,000 early detection and response grant to the McKenzie Lakes Association. Clean Boats, Clean Waters grants are also available to ramp up watercraft inspection efforts to contain the zebra mussels and prevent the spread to other area lakes. DNR encourages citizens to become engaged in the Citizen Lake Monitoring Network, which provides access to training from lake experts from across the state. Zebra mussels are an

invasive species that can displace native species, disrupt ecosystems and hamper recreation. Zebra mussels are fingernail-sized bottom-dwellers native to Europe and Asia. A ballast water exchange of an ocean-going ship most likely introduced zebra mussels to the Great Lakes from Europe in the mid-1980s. Fortunately in Wisconsin, fewer than five percent of lakes deemed suitable for colonization actually have zebra mussels. DNR is encouraging lakeshore property owners, contractors, anglers and hunters to keep an eye out for the invaders, which resemble small clams with a yellowish or brownish D-shaped shell and alternating dark- and light-colored stripes. Most are under an inch and they frequently grow in clusters attached to pier posts, boat lifts, rocks and other hard surfaces. People who find zebra mussels or other invasive species should: • Check the DNR website to see if the invasive species has not been previously

found in that body of water; • Note the exact location where the organism was found; • Take a digital photo in the setting where the species was found, then collect up to five specimens of various sizes and put in a jar with water; put the jar on ice and refrigerate it; and • Contact local DNR or County Land & Water Conservation Department AIS Contacts and deliver the specimens. As a reminder, to prevent the spread of zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species, Wisconsin law requires all boaters to: • Inspect boats, trailers and equipment including anchors and other places that accumulate sediment; • Remove all attached aquatic plants, animals and mud; • Drain all water from boats, vehicles and equipment; and • Never move plants or live fish away from a water body. To learn more about zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species, search “AIS” on dnr.wi.gov.

Spooner Ag Station teaching, display garden wins national award SPOONER—For the fourth consecutive year, the Teaching and Display Garden located at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station was recognized for its educational efforts, its creative landscape designs and promotion of new proven varieties of flowers and vegetables. The second place award was given by the All-America Selections (AAS) organization in their fifth annual landscape design contest. The award-winning garden is a joint effort among the Spooner Agricultural Research Station, the Spooner Area UW-Extension Office and UW-Extension North Country Master Gardener volunteers. The Spooner garden competed against 16 other entrants in their category from across the U.S. and in Canada. This year’s contest theme was incorporating pollinator education in the landscape design and to garden visitors. According to Kevin Schoessow, UW-Extension Agricultural Development Educator for Burnett, Washburn and Sawyer counties, “As in the past, this award was a direct

result of many hours of creative work by UW-Extension Master Gardener volunteers.” Being recognized as one of the top AAS Display Gardens in the nation for four consecutive years should not come as a surprise to those who have visited the Teaching and Display Garden. In addition to hundreds of varieties of annual and perennial flowers and vegetables, the garden is signed with many “teachable moments” to help educate visitors. Since 1999, Schoessow has been coordinating UW-Extension Master Gardener volunteers to promote, foster and support horticulture education in local communities. The Teaching and Display Garden is a centerpiece in their efforts. Each year they host multiple workshops, seminars and trainings out in the garden, including their annual Twilight Garden Tour in August to inspire gardeners and educate the public about gardening and plants that grow best in the area. A portion of this larger garden is an official All-America Selections Dis-

play Garden. AAS offers gardeners reliable new varieties of flowers and vegetables that have proved their superior garden performance in trial grounds across North America.

Joel Robert Rauchbauer, a age 19, of Frederic/Grantsb burg, WI, went to be home w with Jesus, the One who ttaught him how to love the w way He did, on Saturday N November 12, 2016. Joel was born on Februa ary 3, 1997, in Saint Croix F Falls, WI, to parents, Arlene ((Zwiers) and Bob Rauchb bauer. Joel attended and g graduated from Grantsburg High School in 2015, where he loved being a drummer in the High School Band. Joel was always drumming, not only on the drums, but on headrests, and backs of chairs. Joel, along with his brother, owned and operated their own lawn care and landscaping business. After high school, he attended electrical line worker school in Baudette, MN. Along with earning his certificate, he spent many hours with his friends, fishing and enjoying the outdoors. Joel loved the outdoors and always was looking for the next big fish, which he faithfully shared with the senior ladies who loved his visits. Joel loved his friends, young and old, with a fierce love; they took precedence over everything. The love he had for his family is something that is rare. His little buddy, Trent, could often be seen waiting for his arrival, staring at the clock. The reason Joel knew how to love with his whole heart is because he believed in Jesus and had given Jesus his whole heart, making his life infinitely better. On any given Saturday night, you could count on hearing Joel play drums with the praise and worship team at church. Afterward you could find Joel playing with the little kids and eating pizza. The loss of Joel’s life will be felt by everyone who loved him. His true hope is in Jesus, which in turn gives us, who love Jesus, hope. The visitation for Joel will be held on Wednesday, November 16, 2016, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home in Grantsburg. The funeral service will be held on Thursday, November 17, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. (visitation from 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.) at Grace Baptist Church in Grantsburg.

He earned a Bronze Star medal in combat duty with the Seventh Armored Division in France and Germany. John worked as a pulp cutter, construction worker, farmer and gas station operator. He owned and operated “Smiley’s Supermarket,” a successful grocery and meat market in Webster. The family enterprise provided employment for local residents and a great place to shop for the community. Tourism helped make it an extremely fast-growing, well-known meat market to folks from the Duluth/Superior and the Minneapolis/ St. Paul areas. The 12-hour workdays kept John and Gladys busy for 10 years. In the 1980s, John moved to Oregon and began a woodcutting business, delivering firewood to hundreds of Lincoln County residents. His joy of fishing, hunting, gardening, travel and time with family and friends gave him a chance to share his sense of humor and storytelling. He loved music and still sang at the breakfast table on a regular basis at the Adult Family Home in Vancouver. John is survived by his former wife, Gladys; his children, John Smiley of Oregon and Carol (Mike) Smiley Keffeler of Washington; his grandchildren, Jill Smiley and Michelle Smiley Grant; and his sister, Nell, of Kentucky.

I encourage you to look past political divides, any kind of divide and build bridges to those around you by following Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; command to love.

Developing area’s ﬁrst utility-scale solar CENTURIA—Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative will bring solar power to members throughout its service area in 2017. Polk-Burnett will partner with its power supplier, Dairyland Power Cooperative, and SoCore Energy to develop a 10-acre solar array behind the co-op’s office in Centuria. This is the first utility-scale solar facility in Polk County. SoCore Energy, a solar developer from Chicago, will build, own and operate the array on land leased from Polk-Burnett. Polk-Burnett and Dairyland Power Cooperative will purchase the energy output. The array will generate 1,250 kilowatts (KW) or 1.25 megawatts (MW) of solar energy. Dairyland will purchase 1,000 KW (1 MW) of solar output and Polk-Burnett will purchase the additional 250 KW (.25 MW). “Our solar energy project will provide clean, renewable energy to help meet the electricity demands of our local population,” said Polk-Burnett General Manager Steve Stroshane. “Polk-Burnett’s solar development responds to our members’ interest in renewable energy and helps provide long-term, stable energy prices,” Stroshane added. “The project also diversifies our generation mix and is part of a balanced energy strategy. It replaces electricity being generated with fossil fuels and reduces our carbon footprint.” Polk-Burnett’s solar project is part of an initiative

SUBMITTED

Polk-Burnett’s solar project will be similar to this array under construction in summer 2016 at Dunn Energy Cooperative near Menomonie.

by Dairyland Power Cooperative to develop 20 MW of solar energy and nearly double the amount of solar generation in Wisconsin. Polk-Burnett added to Dairyland’s 1 MW project in Centuria to take advantage of the cost savings of the larger project. Individual member subscriptions will not be sold; instead, solar out-

put will feed into Polk-Burnett’s distribution system to benefit all members. Construction is expected to begin in the spring, and the array will begin generating solar power next summer. More information will be shared as the project gets underway.

t a e r G s e N n u m Com t a e r G e k Ma ! s l o o h c S We W e are grateful to parents and all community members who donate t their time and talents to our students and help build spirit and pride in our a ur schools schools a and nd c community. ommunity.
