SIREN—Is the solution as easy as staffing the A&H ambulance station? A casual observer at Thursday’s Burnett County Towns Association meeting could come away with that opinion, but there’s more to it than one meeting. The Towns Association is charged with

Offender does the right thing — pleads to crime Spooner man gets additional two years in prison for causing mental harm to a child BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

Trick or treat Scooby-Doo, a.k.a Trystan Wethern, took advantage of the Trunk-or-Treat event at the Webster Fairgrounds Monday night to load up on Scooby snacks. More photos on Pages 16-17.

The sentence was handed down on Wednesday in Burnett County Circuit Court. William O. Cauley, 32, who had initially been charged with repeated sexual assault of a child and incest stemming from a Nov. 1, 2014 incident with his 11-year-old daughter, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge as part of a plea agreement with the prosecution. Cauley waived his preliminary hearing, but took the plea deal to avoid going to trial.

SIREN—A Spooner man who is already serving time in the Jackson Correctional Facility for possession of child pornography charges had two years of prison time added to his sentence for causing mental harm to a child.

It’s not Chicago, but electors can ‘vote early’ BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Presidential elections draw the biggest voter turnout of any election cycle. The 2016 contest, with such polarizing candidates, could be the biggest election turnout in recent memory. Even though Election Day is slated for next week, that’s not stopping voters from heading to the polls early, by way of absentee ballot, and casting their vote. “People love the convenience of it,” Wanda Hinrichs, Burnett County Clerk, explained. According to Hinrichs, eligible voters may cast a ballot by mail-in absentee ballot or in-person absentee ballot. To vote early, an eligible voter simply needs to contact his or her municipal

clerk and tell them they want to vote early. “The last of our municipal clerks got their ballots by Sept. 16,” she continued. “Those ballots could be issued right away — in fact, we already had requests for ballots so there was a waiting list.” Hinrichs said the legislative wrangling over the voting restrictions was worth it. “Since the restrictions have been lifted, there are a lot more days and hours people can schedule a time to vote,” she pointed out. Regulations governing in-person absentee balloting previously limited the days and hours to the two weeks prior to the election, Monday through Friday, and then only from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. But those restrictions were struck

down in August by the 7th District Court of Appeals. “It was hard to schedule a time with your municipal clerk in that 10-day window,” Hinrichs observed. “Now, there is more time for voters to take advantage of the eased restrictions.” Of course, those ballots, both the in-person and mail-in ballots, are not counted until the polls close Tuesday night. The on-again, off-again Voter ID legislation is on-again and is in place for Tuesday’s election. “It might delay the voting process a little,” she said of the absentee balloting. “But I haven’t gotten any irate calls.” SEE VOTE, PAGE 2

School taxes drop for Siren taxpayers BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

Repair The water was allowed to drain out of Memory Lake last week. The water ﬂowing through the dam is being used to clean the accumulated sand and silt from the stop logs in the dam before the Village of Grantsburg replaces the logs. This is the last section to be replaced. “The guys on the crew think it was back in 1988 when they were last replaced, so these should last a long time,” Chris Bartlett, Director of Public Works said. The work was completed at the end of last week.

Those calls may come Tuesday. “It seems like people come out of the woodwork to vote in presidential elections. Many are not going to know how much the laws have changed since the last presidential election,” Hinrichs stated. “I can already see the biggest issue for those voters is not knowing to bring their ID.”

Trying to maintain her neutrality throughout the election cycle is not to say she hasn’t heard grumblings from voters. “‘Of the millions of people in this country who could run for President, this is who they’ve come up with?’ is what I hear on the street,” she remarked. Because they are expecting a big turnout Tuesday, Hinrichs said municipalities have been hedging

their bets, buying extra voting machines to handle the expected crowd. “The state has even purchased and delivered back-up cartridges, so if something goes awry with a machine, the electronic voting capability isn’t lost,” Hinrichs commented. “To have to go back to all paper ballots would take us back to the Stone Age.”

locations where voters can cast absentee ballots in person. About 71 percent of the ballots returned so far were cast in person. Turnout continues to be strong in the heavily Democratic counties of Milwaukee and Dane. About 29 percent of the statewide total has been cast there. About 51,000 ballots have been returned in Milwau-

kee County compared with about 44,000 in Dane County. About 14 percent of all absentee ballots have been cast in the conservative Republican counties of Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee that surround Milwaukee. Nearly 48,000 ballots have been returned there.

WISCONSIN NEWS BRIEFING

Early voting numbers halfway toward total from 2012 MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Nearly 328,000 voters have cast absentee ballots in Wisconsin so far. That total reported Wednesday by the state Elections Commission is about half of the 659,000 absentee ballots cast by Election Day in 2012. Many cities continue to expand

SIREN—School taxes in the Siren School District will drop about $80 following last week’s annual meeting and budget hearing. The mill rate dropped to $11.79 per $1,000 of property — or $1,179 in school taxes for district taxpayers with $100,000 worth of property, compared to $1,259 for the 2015-16 school year. The levy, the portion of the school’s $6.06 million expenditure budget collected from the taxpayers, is set at $4,876,040. The district presented a $14,000 deficit budget but the news was not all bad. “We are looking at that deficit today but that number will be reduced,” Kevin Shetler, district administrator, FILE PHOTO pointed out. “It Dr. Kevin Shetler could even go away altogether.” Helping the district’s cause are aid packages from the state. Leading the way is the per-pupil aid. “Since we are in the second year of the 2015-17 state budget biennium, the per-pupil aid jumps to $250,” Shetler explained. “We’re also getting about $135,000 in sparsity aid and $107,000 in impact aid.” The impact aid is money from the federal government apportioned to schools with federal land, which is not taxable, within district boundaries. “We may receive more than the $107,000 as the dollar pool winds down,” Shetler commented. In addition, the district’s enrollment is up 22 students according to the official Third Friday count in September. “That’s good news for us,” Shetler reported. “It’s significant due to the allotment of aid from the state.”

Red Cross Blood Drive Nov. 3 GRANTSBURG—The next opportunity to give blood through the American Red Cross will be from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, at Grantsburg Community Center at 320 S. Brad Street. The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to help stock the shelves before the busy holiday season.

Therefore, more donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help ensure the blood supply is sufficient through the winter months.

Intimidation

I guess it had to happen at some point — I guess I’m equally surprised it took this long for it to have happened. The long and the short of it is that the spouse of an alleged criminal was upset with a front page story I had written and published. The skinny is a little more involved than that and actually goes back several weeks to the day the story appeared in print. The spouse had called the office looking for me to vent — I was at a meeting or at an interview so the spouse decided to vent to the gal who answered the phone. Not a good thing. Luckily, she was able to shed the blather for what it was and Seems to could get on with her day — no harm, no foul. Me Time passes and Todd goes to court the other day because this Todd Beckmann alleged criminal had another hearing. As soon as I step foot in the courtroom and because the judge had yet to call the case, the spouse motions for me to meet outside the courtroom so I can hear the error of my ways. I wave off that request and the judge calls the case. When it was apparent nothing newsworthy would come of the hearing, I left the courtroom — and I hear the spouse hot on my heels, ready to shed the light. When I was out of earshot of the courtroom, I told the spouse I had an appointment and had to leave in two minutes. The spouse, dropping f-bombs and other obscenities, proceeded to tell me how difficult it was to defend the spouse against all the lies printed in the paper. I told the spouse I didn’t have time for this and turned to continue on my way. Luckily, the cop who had also been at the hearing had followed us out and witnessed most of the “incident.” The cop later told me in an email that the spouse’s behavior could warrant disorderly conduct and encouraged me to file a voluntary statement with the sheriff’s department. Not that official charges are going to be filed, but it gets the statement on the record and could point to a pattern of harassment if there are similar “incidents” in the future.

DRIVING MISS DAISY Still don’t know what I did to deserve that raised middle finger I observed in the rear view mirror of the pickup truck I was following the other day. I guess the fact I don’t drive what appears to be a car fresh from a demolition derby makes people think they are safe to visually offend me. Maybe if I did drive an old beater with several dings and dents, a bumper affixed to the car with a coat hanger and a huge plastic garbage bag secured with loads of duct tape serving as a passenger “window,” other motorists would hesitate before making an obscene gesture. “So, do I really want to flip off a guy who obviously doesn’t handle confrontation very well?” is what I would think they’d be asking themselves. Are the two related? You decide.

‘More treats, please’ I realize I am a couple of days late, but I hope you had a Happy Halloween. Falling on Monday, the holiday was celebrated early by many the weekend before. I know as a child, I always hated it when the holiday fell early in the week. The best years were when Oct. 31 was a Friday or Saturday. We could stay up From the later and expand Publisher’s the area where we went after free Desk candy. I’m sure others Tom Stangl of my vintage recall Halloween fondly. In addition to being able to go out wearing a mask that concealed your identity, you got free candy. Candy was a premium item at my childhood home, so when Halloween or Christmas rolled around, we took advantage of the opportunity to stock up with as much as we could get! There was a funeral home in my hometown that used to put a special jack-o-lantern out that had a microphone and a speaker. The owners would engage children in conversation, much to the delight

and amazement of many. A furniture store owner liked to put on a little show for trick-ortreaters, inviting them into his home where he would have a fake skeleton in a coffin and other items designed to scare children. There were other homes with open porches where adults would dress like a scarecrow decoration, sitting very still until you would approach the door. They then would spring to life, jumping out of the chair, trying to get the maximum scare from the innocent youth that only wanted candy. Others would hide near the porch and come up behind you as you rang the doorbell, scaring many. I must admit I did some similar, but milder, things as my children were growing up. We had a story and a half bungalow with a walk-in attic. The attic had a small half circle window near the peak of the roof that faced the street. On Halloween, I would place a strobe light in the attic so it appeared that either a mad scientist was at work or a thunderstorm was occurring indoors. It was fun to have the younger trick-or-treaters ask me if I knew I had a problem in my attic. I usually played the straight man, feigning ignorance. This actually concerned some youngsters even more. This year marks the 25th anni-

versary of the Halloween Blizzard of 1991. What began as rain turned over to heavy, wet snow. By the time the precipitation stopped falling many cities in the eastern half of Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin had witnessed record early-season snowfall accumulations, while parts of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa were crippled by a large ice storm. Arctic air that was pulled southward behind the storm had combined with the heavy snow pack to produce many record low temperatures. Between the blizzard and the ice storm, 22 people were killed and over 100 were injured. If you lived through it, you will always remember it. For me, it was the year I decided to make sure that I bought candy that I liked in the years that followed. Better to be stuck with candy you like, I always say. As always, I welcome your comments.

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. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion.

GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe

Following a particularly wet and windy night, I awoke to a blanket of golden-brown pine needles in my back yard. It was beautiful and held a certain comfort. A couple years back while still in the jam-packed yards of the city, I was the last in my neighborhood to rake the fenced back yard. As I stood elevated upon the deck I could see all the plain, green squares of my neighbors, all outlined in varieties of fencing. Then I looked at mine. Like the gentle pine needle covering, it, too, was beautiful. It was completely full of all the textures of autumn and Newbie in the colors were magnificent, some muted and others sharp and bright. the NorthI couldn’t bear to touch that canvas and it snowed before I stopped enjoywoods ing it. Seems to be happening again. Lori Callahan The memory of walking on the beds beneath mature red pines as a child sticks in my mind — that ability to move silently as opposed to crashing through dry leaves. One time I came upon my two eldest brothers, Tom and Terry, along with my one-year junior sibling, Christopher, all gathered at some activity in the woods. Smoke and an awful smell emitted from their direction. They were burning a snake in a hollowed-out stump. I was only five or six and I still remember my dumbfoundedness. Why? The tranquility of the forest can be refreshing and mind clearing, allowing solutions to come to mind. Today, I know the answer: Because they can. Remember that, gals. It’s that simple — age is not a factor. A hike in the woods today displays the late-falling orange-brown oak leaves clinging to their branches, golden Tamarack stands soon to be bare, with scatterings of deciduous reds and yellows, remains of their former glory. In areas that were dense brush all summer now stand as grey tangled webs of branches exposing tunnels, small mammal trails and ground nests previously hidden. Those mammals now scurry with an even-greater urgency and the bear sows and cubs have already found their dens. Every season in the forest offers a unique sensory experience and can replenish ones spirit, wipe away the problems of the day or open one up to new ideas. One such occasion gave me a solution to determine if intelligent life exists on other planets. Among other methods, scientists look for periodically darkening stars, evidence of another celestial body crossing it and reducing the light it sends our direction when in a position between the star and us. Well, look for a huge cluster of darkening objects with the smallest pieces circling the largest — our neighbor aliens’ space junk orbiting their planet, proof of human-like intelligence moving pollution ‘above and beyond.’ In addition, given that teenagers, regardless of origin, will blast the latest ‘that noise’ to Kingdom come, set the listening devices for those ear-drum damaging transmissions. I might be crazy, but I anticipate snow-covered trails, easy evidence of wildlife travel and the stillness a winter wood offers with eagerness. No matter that it’s nearly a 30-minute task to dress in my seven-layer getup and to gather a few necessary provisions. The holiday classic “A Christmas Story:” picture Ralphie’s little brother looking like the Michelin Man, all roly-poly and ready to tip over after his mother dresses him for outdoor play. I’m just a little taller. And, should I discover the answers to any other age-old perplexities during my winter escapades, I’ll report back.

Pumpkins, lions, tigers, oh my! Little witches, princesses, and a lot of other costumed critters! Did you find any on your doorstep on Monday night?

NORTH: Extra staffing will mean extra dollars for new ambulance contract

manned station at A&H would add $250,000 a year to the service fee, or about $12,500 per township, per year — if the method of payment by the towns, per-capita (population) remains the same.

North Ambulance of its intention to seek service elsewhere by June 30, 2017. A subcommittee of the association is meeting prior to the group’s quarterly meetings to work out changes they’d like to see. The bone of contention between residents in the eastern portion of the county and the provider has been the status of the A&H station and response times to surrounding towns with that station out-of-service. “According to the contract, the A&H station is a total volunteer station,” Chris Sybers, association president, explained. “The ambulance North had stationed there was pulled because there was no one to run it — it made sense, liability-wise.” That was earlier in the year and the ambulance has since been returned. “The ambulance is back in our barn but it isn’t readily accessible,” Gary Lundberg, chairman of the Town of Scott (where A&H is located), related. Whether the ambulance is there and can respond to calls or if residents in that portion of the county need to rely on Webster, Danbury or even Grantsburg, was the meat of the argument. “What’s an acceptable response time?” Jim Paden, chairman of the Town of Grantsburg, queried. But others said it was more complicated than that. “I think we need to look at what is a reasonable cost,” Marv Merle, chairman of the Town of Union, pointed out. By adding staffing at the A&H station, additional cost is a foregone conclusion. “I think we should push ‘em a little to see if we can get a couple of options,” Paden remarked. Sybers seemed to think that was a good idea. “We are looking at losing one township unless we get a manned station at A&H,” he reported. Clearly, there was some frustration with North Ambulance. “We need information from them but do we really want them to come up with

MANNING A&H Roger Larson, a supervisor for the Town of Jackson, offered a solid solution to part of a manned A&H ambulance station — housing. “I am the president of the A&H Senior Citizens Center and we have a two-story building about three blocks south of the A&H corners,” he explained. “I talked it over with the seniors and we would be willing to lease the lower level to North Ambulance so it could have a facility to house its staff.” He said to cover rent and utilities, he could envision leasing the site for $4,000 a year, about half of the $7,500 North pays for a similar set-up for the Danbury station. “There’s no place for their ambulance but I figure we can get volunteers to build a pole building and insulate it for their rig,” Larson continued. Roger L. Larson

a price to man A&H?” Kathy Young, supervisor for the Town of Scott, asked. Merle saw the wisdom of her question. “I don’t think it’s wise to let North come up with prices or options,” he opined. With the input from the committee, Sybers now has a list to present to North. “We’ll ask for four- and six-year options of no change in the contract, adding 8-hours of manned coverage in A&H, adding 12 hours, and adding 24 hours.” But even if the sub-committee comes up with what it considers an acceptable plan, the whole association will need to sign off on it to make it a done deal. “We’ve got a good thing going,” Merle remarked. “It’s going to be up to the people here to convince others in their communities that this is a good thing and is

the way to go.” The officials present didn’t disagree. “This is benefiting everyone,” Tim Harmon, supervisor of the Town of Anderson, said. ANTICIPATED COST If the association was in the midst of the contract, 2017, an odd year, would have meant an increase in the service fee. Based on the Consumer Price Index, the tool negotiated to represent any increase, the fee would have gone up 1.1 percent, or roughly $10,000. So it goes without saying the base price will be going up — adding a manned station will only add to the bottom line. Based on numbers Sybers shared with the committee, adding a 24-hour

CONTRACT TERM Then there was the discussion regarding length of the new contract. Burnett County is closing in on the end of the second of two 4-year contracts. Larson posed the question of whether the association would get a better deal if it were to ink a 5-year, or longer, deal? Jan Hunter, a trustee from the Village of Siren, agreed. “A longer contract may be more agreeable to them,” she said. But Sybers was comfortable with a four-year deal — or at least an even-year deal. “With the current contract, the increases come the first and third years of the deal — it helps townships with their budgets to know in advance how much the cost is going to be,” he argued. “I think we should ask for four- or six-year contract prices.”

School taxes in Gburg CAULEY: Takes plea deal to avoid hardship for young victim drop again CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—The levy the taxpayers of the Grantsburg School District will have to shoulder for the 2016-17 school year dropped an eye-popping 18 percent — meaning taxpayers are looking at $184 less in school taxes than they paid last year. That was the news which came from last week’s annual meeting and budget hearing. “Most of the increase was due to our expenditures last year,” superintendent Joni Burgin explained. “We used fund balance money to replace the football bleachers, which had structural deficiencies, improve football field drainage issues and replace the track. We also updated tech ed equipment with digital fabrication equipment.” But that’s not to say the state didn’t help. “There were some changes made to the state equalization aid formula that helped,” Burgin pointed out. The $5.5 million aid package reflects a 9.3 percent increase from 2015-16. “It represents about 44 percent of the budget,” she added. The district is also receiving about $210,000 more in per-pupil aid because the second year of the 2015-17 biennium state budget calls for an increase to $250 per pupil. Coupled with a 2.71 percent decrease in the district’s expenditure budget, the levy the school board adopted was $2,705,044, down from $3,296,932 and results in a mill rate of $7.08 per $1,000 of property value — $708.37 per taxpayer

Joni Burgin

with $100,000 worth of property. “We have one of the lowest mill rates in CESA 11,” Burgin boasted. While it is true enrollment drives everything funding-wise, Grantsburg’s official Third Friday count only added two additional students. “We are no longer in a severe enrollment decline —we have leveled out,” Burgin remarked. “However, we are down 185 students from where we were 12 years ago.” And for the first time in eight years, the district is reporting an increase in property values. “We are seeing a 3.42 percent increase — about $12.6 million,” Burgin noted.

WISCONSIN NEWS BRIEFING Attorney general asks for investigation into Walker leaks MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel is asking the state Supreme Court to appoint someone to investigate the leak of evidence collected in a secret investigation into Gov. Scott Walker. Schimel submitted a letter Thursday asking for the appointment of someone to look into both the leaks and to oversee the return of documents and other

evidence seized by investigators during the probe. The state Supreme Court last year ordered the John Doe investigation closed and the U.S. Supreme Court last month refused to hear an appeal of that decision. Schimel tells the court that a special master should be appointed to look into how hundreds of pages of previously secret evidence in the case were leaked to the Guardian newspaper.

“The strength of this case is not taking it to trial,” Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine told the court. “His guilty plea is an important factor — it goes a long way toward doing the right thing by his child.” The health and human services department, which sent four social workers to court that day, agreed with Norine, saying a trial would have been a hardship for the now 13-year-old victim. The lesser charge is still a Class F felony, with a maximum prison sentence of 12 years, six months. In the plea deal, Norine argued for a total of six years, bifurcated (divided) into three years of incarceration and three years of extended supervision, with the behind-bars time to be consecutive — essentially adding three more years to his time behind bars. Cauley was sentenced in April of this year to four years, six months. But defense attorney John Leonard didn’t see it that way. “He’s doing all he can to make amends for his crimes, but he can’t do much behind bars,” he argued. “The sentence needs to be concurrent (the two sentences served at the same time) — he needs to get out as soon as he can.” Leonard was willing to allow his client to serve a longer period on extended supervision. But Norine was adamant. “The sentence calls for consecutive time behind bars because it is a separate offense,” he noted. Before the judge made his ruling, Cauley was given the opportunity to plead his case right to the judge. “I’ve given a lot of thought to what I would say,” Cauley began. “As it turns out, there really isn’t anything to say.” He did say he was dreadfully sorry for the harm he had caused his daugh-

William Cauley

ter. “I have to live with it,” he concluded. “And so does she.” It was then that Judge Ken Kutz passed sentence. “You were extremely forthright in taking this deal,” the judge told Cauley. “It shows a lot on your behalf.” He said the biggest concern in deciding the outcome of this case is the need to protect the public — especially protecting the victim. “I’m sentencing you to 10 years in prison but I’ll bifurcate it this way — two years confinement and eight years extended supervision, and the sentence is to run consecutive to the sentence you are already serving,” Judge Kutz ruled. “That ensures that you will be incarcerated until your daughter is 18 — an adult who can make her own decisions.”

All about the kids Siren School Board hears from its students BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Lest they forget their primary objective, the board room was packed with students Wednesday night as the Siren School Board met for its monthly meeting. No fewer than three student clubs, or hoping-to-be clubs, populated the room. Jason Hinze, high school principal, told the board he had challenged the students at the start of the school year about the possibility of forming new clubs and reaching kids current offerings didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Studies prove students show they are more engaged in school activities when they are involved in a club,â&#x20AC;? he reasoned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes for a better school climate.â&#x20AC;? The first want-to-be club to argue its case with the board was the proposed Theatre and Fine Arts Club. They made their case by performing an improv piece with the so-called three-headed dragon answering questions posed by other members of their troupe as well as board members. The next group was the Manipulation Arts and Unicycle Club and entertained the board with juggling and other examples of eye-hand coordination. Their advisor, Dave Close, was excited about the prospect of such a club.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives kids an opportunity, outside of competitive sports or band and choir, to be involved,â&#x20AC;? he remarked. While the board liked what they saw and heard, they wanted to ensure the club was not just for a year or two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see it as a great idea but I want to see some sustainability,â&#x20AC;? member Duane Emery voiced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to approve it just to have it disband in a year or two.â&#x20AC;? Both advisors, Close and Teri Hinze, assured board members that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen. Kevin Shetler, district administrator, wanted these clubs to know what was expected of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to see clubs like this give back to the rest of the kids in school,â&#x20AC;? he pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like the Manipulation Club putting on a performance during the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mom for Kids Carnival.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? When they readily agreed to that stipulation, the board endorsed both clubs. The student section of the meeting wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over as Brach Christianson and Rylee Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, members of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family, Career and Communication Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapter, updated the board on their efforts. Both were chosen to be FCCLA Regional Representatives this year and as part of their duties, they attended the Wisconsin Leadership Academy at UWStout. The two explained why they wanted to be representatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to become a FCCLA State Officer and felt this would be the first

step in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien told the board. Christianson said he is looking to spread the word about FCCLA and plans to participate in the STAR Event, Promote and Publicize FCCLA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We concentrated on getting our club going for the first four years but now we think we are ready to expand,â&#x20AC;? Heather Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, noted. The board also heard from Kayla Eideh, the driving force behind the

Dragon Lair, a new lounge for high school kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are taking the healthy options from the Holiday gas stations and the Chattering Squirrel and plan to offer them here,â&#x20AC;? she told board members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to sell before and after school.â&#x20AC;? She said her plan is to start Tuesday and Thursday mornings and eventually expand to both before and after school five days a week.

MADISON—Growing up, your parents taught you about good hygiene —wash your hands, brush your teeth, and take a shower. As we continue to rely upon computers and mobile devices, we need to also practice cyber hygiene, to protect our devices from cyber criminals. That’s why Governor Walker has declared October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month in Wisconsin. “Whether banking, shopping, social networking, or downloading the latest app - practicing good cyber hygiene is critical,” says Major General Don Dunbar, Adjutant General and Wisconsin’s Homeland Security Advisor. “All of us must learn how to stay more secure and mitigate risk in our ever-expanding digital lives.” This includes preventing and responding to identity theft and scams, ensuring that home networks are secure, managing the security of mobile devices and teaching children to use the Internet safely. The following are some simple ways to practice good cyber hygiene.

STROLL THROUGH THE PAST by Eunice Kanne

Weekly washday Before electric washing machines, two of the devices to help remove dirt from the weekly wash were the “scrub” or wash board, and the plunger. The scrub board was just that, something to scrub the dirty clothes against. It was a sheet of rough steel, mounted on a frame. The plunger was a bit easier to use. The clothes were put in warm, soapy water. The plunger, a funnel-shaped piece of metal mounted on the end of a short pole, was used. By pressing it up and down in the clothes, it forced soapy water

through them and, hopefully, removing the dirt as it did so. Neither were “labor savers.”

The wash boiler Our wash boiler was a unique and handy device for warming the wash on wash day. It was capable of holding considerable hot water. It was perhaps three feet long, long enough to go over two burners on our kitchen range. It was perhaps a foot wide and about 18-24 inches tall, with all corners rounded. The cover fit neatly on top. Ours had a copper bottom.

Ironing day Before electricity and wrinkle-proof fabrics, ironing day followed the weekly washday. It meant a lot of work. All those bed and table linens and most garments had to be ironed, which took hours to do. First, everything had to be spread out and sprinkled and rolled up to keep moist until iron. Then the old wood stove had to be fired up and the three or four flat irons made out of iron placed on top to heat. Some of the older style irons even had iron handles, needing fabric holders for holding.

MADISON—It’s tough to predict whether Wisconsin will have a mild or severe winter. But it is more likely than not that there will be times when ice, snow, and limited visibility will make driving extremely difficult and perhaps impossible. When pavement is slick from ice or snow, drivers needlessly crash or slide off the road because they were driving too fast for conditions. “The posted speed limit is based on dry pavement and good driving conditions. But the posted limit may be too fast for conditions when a road is snow covered and slippery. The slogan ‘Snow Means Slow’ also applies to four-wheel drive and other heavy-duty vehicles. They usually need as much room to stop as other vehicles,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Captain Nick Wanink of the Northwest Region. A citation for driving too fast for conditions costs $213.10 with four demerit points assessed on the driver’s record, and a second violation within a year costs $263.50 with another four points. During severe winter storms, the safest decision is to not drive until conditions improve. “Law enforcement officers frequently respond to vehicles in the ditch and chain-reaction crashes when motorists should not have attempted to travel. Slowed or stalled traffic on slippery roads also delays tow trucks and snowplows, which are trying to get roads cleared, as well as emergency responders.” Captain Wanink says. Winter weather also can limit visibility, so drivers must remove all frost, ice and snow from their vehicle’s windows. “To see safely in all directions, you need to clear more than just a small patch on a windshield or rear window. Clearing snow and ice from the lights, hood and roof also helps improve visibility and safety,” Captain Wanink says. According to state law, a vehicle’s windshield, side wings, and side and rear windows must be kept clear at all times. Violating this law costs $175.30 with two demerit points, and a second violation within a year costs $213.10 with two points.

Harsdorf honors American Legion Post 96 WEBSTER—The American Legion Otis Taylor Post 96 and Auxiliary Unit 96 in Webster hosted a very special guest at its annual fall picnic on October 1 when Senator Sheila Harsdorf presented awards to several long-time members. Roderick “Rod” Hopkins and Charles “Chuck” Lehman received plaques recognizing them for 70 and 60 years continuous membership respectively. She honored and thanked them for service to their country and dedicated support for veterans and their community. Three Auxiliary members receiving plaques for their lifetime service were Marian Barber-Johnson, 61 years, Donna Lehman, 55 years, and Ruby Radke, 34 years. Senator Harsdorf thanked these women for their many years of dedication and hard work. The mission of the American Legion is to honor and support veterans of all conflicts. To do this locally, the Webster Post holds several fundraisers throughout the summer starting with the Memorial Day Weekend rummage sale, and continuing with flag sales at the Webster 4th of July Parade, brats and hot dogs sales at Gandy Dancer Days, and serving a pancake breakfast during the Burnett County Fair. “The money we raise we give back to the community through donations to the local food shelf, the Webster backpack program, scholarships to graduating seniors, and sponsoring a Badger Boys State candidate,” said Wendy Larson,

SIREN—Operation Christmas Child is in full swing with more than 40 northwestern Wisconsin churches, groups and hundreds of individuals packing shoeboxes to be sent to children all over the world. In 2015, more than 10 million shoeboxes went to children in over 100 countries. This year, the boxes sent from the Minneapolis Center will be going to following countries: Tanzania, Zambia, Saint Lucia, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Nambia and South Africa. At Spooner Wesleyan, VBS children raised $1,200 from their own resources and bake sales and then challenged adults in their church to match their efforts, in order to double the number of boxes given from their church. Siren Covenant had a similar challenge from VBS children. Other groups all over northwestern Wisconsin are having packing parties to encourage everyone to get involved with the joy of giving and praying for the child who will receive the box, that a family might be affected by not only the gift of toys and personal items but also with the gospel message sent along with each box. In 2015, more than one million children made a profession of faith after receiving a box. Collection sites in northwestern Wisconsin and times when they will be open during National Collection Week of November 14-21, 2016, include: Siren Covenant Church, 7686 Lofty Pines Dr. Siren, WI 54872, Sandy Wickman, Relay Center Coordinator: M 10 a.m.-1 p.m.; T 2-5 p.m; W 4-7 p.m.; Th 10 a.m.-1 p.m.; F 4-7 p.m.; Sat 10 a.m.-1 p.m.; Sun 11 a.m-1 p.m. Spooner Wesleyan Church, 1100 W Maple, Spooner, WI 54801, Sue Temple Relay Center Coordinator: M 11 a.m.-1 p.m.; T 4-6 p.m; W 6-9 p.m.; Th 6-8 p.m.; F 1-6 p.m,; Sat 10 a.m.-1 p.m.; Sun 1-4 p.m.; Mon, Nov. 21 9-11 a.m. In Grantsburg, contact Central United Methodist Church at 715-463-2624.

12 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Oakley is a two-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix that came to us as a stray. He is the perfect size (approximately 40 pounds) – not too big and not too small. Oakley greeted me with a few licks and then planted his rear end on my lap when I sat on the floor of his kennel. He seemed Oakley to know the “sit” and “shake” commands, unless it happened to be coincidental. Either way, I’ll take it! Oakley is very friendly and sweet. His likes are long walks and belly scratches. His dislikes are cats. Although I didn’t take him Ginger out to the play yard, I tossed around his tennis ball and rope in the kennel area and was pleasantly surprised when he quickly retrieved them and set them down right in front of me. This was not a fluke, as I played with Oakley for a bit before leaving. I’m guessing that playing catch is another “like” for Oakley! Ginger is a two-year-old orange and white cat that is as cute as can be. We figure that she might have been semi-feral, but has blossomed over her short time at the shelter. When it’s her turn in the office, Ginger is the welcome wagon mascot of the shelter – giving equal attention to anyone entering the building. She is hit or miss about being picked up, but coming around in that area too. Ginger loved having me visit her condo and, when I was done and closed her door, she quickly reached out to try to coax me to come back for more. This girl has a very strange, raspy, low meow. She’s also got a face that not only a mother could love. Ginger is petite for her age, which just makes her even more endearing. The only demand she has is that she is an only child as she does not like other cats. We think she’d be okay with dogs, but she might like to interview them first. Do you love baking those wonderful treats at Christmas time? If you do and you wouldn’t mind making an extra batch or two for a worthy cause, we will be having a bake sale fundraiser in early December and could use your help! Stay tuned for more information here or on our shelter’s website. If you are interested in adopting Oakley, Ginger, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www. hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (716) 866-4096.

Frequently asked questions — 2016 gun-deer season MADISON—These FAQs were taken by the DNR Call Center, the Department of Natural Resources’ conservation wardens and the Bureau of Wildlife Management and these topics provide an overview of rules. Question 1: I’m still finalizing my deer hunting schedule and need a refresher on the dates of the seasons, please. Answer: Certainly. Here are the seasons and good luck with your planning! November 9-day gun deer hunt: November 19 to 27 Muzzleloader season: November 28 to December 7 December 4-day antlerless-only season: December 8 to 11 Metro sub-units gun season: November 19 – December 7 Antlerless-only Holiday Hunt (select Farmland Zone units only): December 24-January 1 Question 2: What about the antlerless hunts this year? Answer: The antlerless-only Holiday Hunt (Dec. 24 – Jan. 1, 2017) will be offered in some Farmland Zone Deer Management Units (DMUs), including: Brown, Columbia, Crawford, Green Lake, Marinette, Marquette, Milwaukee, Pepin, Richland, Rock, Sauk, Waukesha and Waupaca. The December 4-day antlerless-only hunt (Dec. 8 – 11) will be offered statewide where antlerless tags are available. No bucks may be harvested during this season. Question 3: What about back tags this year? Answer: Hunters no longer are required to wear back tags for deer hunting. Question 4: Any changes to the clothing requirements for deer hunters? Answer: When and where a firearm deer season is un-

SUBMITTED

derway, no person may hunt any game, except waterfowl, unless at least 50 percent of the outer clothing above the waist is the color of blaze orange or fluorescent pink. If wearing a hat or something else to cover your head, that hat or head cover also must be at least 50 percent blaze orange or fluorescent pink in color. This is for everyone’s safety. Question 5: I need a review of the tagging and registration requirements for deer hunters this year? Answer: Sure. Here are the main points to know: Paper carcass tags must be validated immediately upon harvest of a deer. Carcass tags are validated by writing the date and time of kill. After registering the deer, the confirmation number shall be written on the carcass tag and kept until the meat is consumed. The validated carcass

tag no longer needs to be attached to the deer as long as the hunter remains with the carcass, but the hunter must attach the validated paper tag to the deer before leaving it. All deer registration will be completed electronically, but some in-person registration stations will be available to assist hunters. All deer must be registered by 5 p.m. the day after the harvest in the Deer Management Unit (DMU) of kill or an adjacent unit. Question 5: What is the process this year for antlerless tags? Answer: There are a handful of key points to know when it comes to antlerless tags. Hunters must specify the zone, DMU and land type for each antlerless tag. At least one Farmland (Zone 2) antlerless deer tag is included with each deer

hunting license. However, hunters may only select Farmland (Zone 2) tags from a DMU that offers them, and the number of tags offered will vary by county. DMUs containing a metro sub-unit may offer free Metro Sub-unit Antlerless Tags, and/or $12 Metro Subunit Bonus Antlerless Tags. These are DMU, sub-unit and land-type specific. Junior Antlerless Deer Tags are valid in any unit statewide on the land-type specified on the tag, except in Ashland, Forest and Sawyer counties. Group bagging is not allowed on Junior Antlerless Tags. Question 6: Can hunters shoot bucks with a bow or crossbow in any DMU during the December 4-day antlerless-only deer season? Answer: No. The December 4-day antlerless-only deer season will be held statewide, making it illegal to hunt bucks during this time, regardless of the weapon used. Except, Class A and C disabled permit holders and qualified U.S. Armed Forces members may use their Gun Buck Deer Carcass Tag to tag a buck statewide during any firearm deer season, including antlerless-only firearm deer seasons, to tag a buck that has been harvested with any legal weapon for that firearm season. Question 7: In the past, the department has given someone a replacement buck tag if they shot a buck that tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD). Will they now do the same if they shoot a CWD-positive doe? Answer: Yes. A replacement tag will be issued for all harvested deer that test positive for CWD, regardless of sex.

WISCONSIN OUTDOORS BRIEFS Camping numbers high in Wisconsin parks despite fee hikes MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin state park use this year is on track to be higher than average, despite fee increases that were imposed to offset the withdrawal of tax support. The number of camping registrations and nights camped in 2016 through Friday was greater than in any year since 2008 except for last year’s record, the Wisconsin State Journal reported. The Legislature and Gov. Scott Walker ended tax support for the parks system and increased fees as part of a two-year budget, which began in July 2015, in hopes that the parks would be self-sustaining with greater income from user fees and private sponsorships.

Prior to the change, tax dollars for the system had decreased since 1995 when the Legislature stopped requiring park operations to be funded equally by fees and the general fund. This year, there have been nearly 160,000 camping registrations and more than 386,000 nights camped for state parks, recreation areas and southern forests. State parks section chief Chris Pedretti said park usage is highly dependent on weekend weather, gas prices and the overall economy. He said 2016 has been a mostly good year by those measures. Pedretti said park officials haven’t experienced many people complaining about the higher fees. “I don’t think we saw a real big pushback,” Pedretti said.

Bill Zager, president of the Friends of Wisconsin State Parks, said he is concerned needed maintenance in the parks will be delayed longer while the state does what it can to stretch out its budget reserves. Report: DNR positions down 18 percent since 1995 MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A new report shows Department of Natural Resources staffing levels have dropped 18 percent over the last two decades. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau report examined staffing levels in the last year of each two-year budget dating back to 1979. It found that during that period the number of positions peaked at 3,114 in 1995. That compares with 2,549 positions in the current fiscal year, a decrease of 565 positions. The

lowest staffing level during the 38-year period was 2,509 positions in 1981. The report shows that the agency lost 196 positions in the four budgets that Gov. Scott Walker and his fellow Republicans have adopted since taking complete control of state government in 2011. The agency lost 256 positions under budgets Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle approved between 2003 and 2009.

Two SHS students named regional reps BRACH CHRISTIANSON SIREN HIGH SCHOOL

SIREN—Brach Christianson and Rylee O’Brien have been chosen as Regional Representatives of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). As part of their duties, they attended the Wisconsin Leadership Academy October 18 at UW-Stout in Menomonie. There they met with the other FCCLA regional representatives of Wisconsin. They will help plan the Regional Competition in February at UW-Stout and will assist where needed at the FCCLA State Leadership Conference in April at Wisconsin Dells. Becoming regional representatives was very important for Rylee and Brach. Both have goals they want to accomplish in their FCCLA careers. Rylee wants to become a FCCLA state officer and felt this would be the first step in that direction. Brach is competing in the Promote and Publicize STAR event. He feels that becoming a regional representative would allow him to educate his school and community about FCCLA. He also would like to become a FCCLA Wisconsin state officer. Congratulations to Brach and Rylee on becoming the first regional representatives from the Siren Middle and High School FCCLA chapter!

An easy way to use left over meat

Hash is a dish that can be made in many ways and has multiple origins. My mom made hash with left over roast beef, which I liked. Many people in the Midwest are familiar with corned beef hash served in restaurants, sometimes as a breakfast side topped with eggs. You can also find it canned at the grocery store. There are many different forms of hash. In England, it’s made with corned beef, but they add chopped gherkin pickles. In Austria, they add spices like thyme and marjoram and top it with an egg and call it Gröstl, which means a mix or a mess. In Brazil and other South American countries, they make a similar version and use it as a filling for empanadas. The first time hash shows up in cookbooks was in France around 1650. The name in English might be derived from the old French word hacher, meaning chopped. Because people didn’t have refrigeration they would try to consume any leftover meat the next morning before it would spoil—hence the breakfast connection. Also, when meat was scarce, people would use lots of potatoes or other vegetables to make the dish more filling. Hash became very popular in the U.S. after the world wars. Meat was scarce and hash was an easy, affordable meal for families on rations. In my grandmother’s favorite cookbook from 1933, there are a few recipes for hash. All have the same basic ingredients, potatoes, onions, leftover meat, but preparations differ, such as adding egg yolks to the cooked hash and baking it for an additional 10 minutes or adding tomato sauce to make a spaghetti hash. Today, I still make hash like my mother did, usually with whatever I have on hand, making dinner preparation easy. However, I have branched out and use different ingredients. My new favorite is with leftover pheasant. Last week, my hash consisted of pheasant, potatoes, carrots, onions, and leftover squash. Remember, there are many different ways to make hash. If you don’t have an ingredient, try something new. Hash it up.

Pheasant Hash Serves 4

2 cooked pheasant breasts or any other cooked meat, about 2 cups, cut in small cubes 4 medium sized potatoes, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1 cup squash or sweet potatoes, chopped 4 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp. seasoned salt Pepper to taste

Directions: In a large fry pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add potatoes, squash, seasoned salt and pepper; fry until some of the potatoes become tender, about 7 minutes. With a spatula, keep turning the mixture over until the potatoes turn golden brown. Add onion, continuing to cook until the potatoes are tender and the onion is transparent and soft. Add the cooked meat and sauté until the meat is hot. Serve immediately.

NOVEL IDEAS ‘Bottomland’ by Michelle Hoover

Get hooked on page one with “Bottomland,” by Michelle Hoover. That’s when the book’s mystery is revealed, possibly a crime. Two young girls in a German family have disappeared from a farmhouse in Iowa, just after the end of World War I, when distrust of Germans ran rampant and speaking the language in America was forbidden. It’s frigid the evening the girls go missing, and Myrle and Esther Hess are just teenagers, Myrle the youngest of the two. How will they survive the cold, how did they escape their home, doors and windows locked tight, a way to keep the family safe, at least that’s what their father Jon Julius believes. Did they wander away or has there been foul play? Four siblings in the family of five, and their father, narrate the sections of this engaging novel. We’re first introduced to Nan, the oldest of the four girls. She’s the caretaker, mothering the family when their real mother Margrit dies. Nan has tried to fulfill her role but feels, “our youngest were growing wild.” Distrusted by their neighbors, the Hess family begins a widespread search, eventually contacting the authorities; they are certain the girls have just run off and will soon return home. When Nan discovers a blood-soaked dress of Myrle’s she’s certain that hasn’t been the case. She grows suspicious of Tom Elliot, a young man from a neighboring farm who’s returned from the war, and is odd in ways she can’t pinpoint. The remaining sections of the book are narrated by Nan’s brother, Lee, and finally by Esther and Myrle. Each offers a different perspective on circumstances and events that slowly and completely lay bare what happened to the girls in a family where secrets are harbored for years to come. “Bottomland” is crafted in a most interesting manner and should appeal to a wide range of readers. * * * * * * *

‘On My Own’ by Diane Rehm

Much loved public radio talk show host Diane Rehm

writes of grief, loneliness and moving forward with optimism in “On My Own,” her third book — a memoir that chronicles the year following her husband John’s death on June 23, 2014. She writes honestly about their relationship, and her experiences and emotions after his passing in a slim book that’s sure to attract a wide following. Rehm begins her book with John’s end, at 83, his death coming after he refuses food or drink, wishing to hasten his suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, this after he realizes his doctor and no one in the medical profession is going to assist him. John was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, a degenerative disease of the nervous system, when he was 75. When the illness rendered the couple unable to manage at home any longer, they became resigned to the fact that he’d be better off in a care facility, a decision that caused Rehm continual guilt. John’s death left Rehm alone — quite an adjustment after 54 years of marriage, a marriage that at times, Rehm admits, was difficult. In the end, however, the couple talked about how happy they were to have stayed together, their bond increasing in strength as John’s illness progressed. Though the couple has children and grandchildren, once John died Rehm didn’t want to rely on them. They live a distance away and have lives of their own. Rehm, an independent woman, didn’t want to be a burden. And there was her career to maintain, work that has proved to be a godsend. Still, Rehm, now 79, realizes it’s time to retire, something she talks about openly on the air, and addresses in her book. “On My Own,” makes Rehm seem entirely approachable, like she’s occupying a chair in your kitchen sharing stories about her early marriage, and how she went from being a stay-at-home mom to a radio personality. The book also is a cautionary tale reminding us not to take our spouses and significant others for granted. The brevity of life shines through on the pages of this compact treasure, a meditation on life, death, love, friendship and going it alone with courage and grace.

‘Work Like Any Other’ by Virginia Reeves

Some lives are dogged by tragedy, like the main character in Virginia Reeves debut, “Work Like Any Other,” set in Alabama in the 1920s. The book’s protagonist, Roscoe Martin, is good soul, but a victim of circumstance. An error in judgment lands him in Kilby Prison, charged with theft and manslaughter. The lion’s share of the story takes place in that cruel environment, and is narrated by Roscoe. Other chapters delve into the past with his wife, Marie, returning to their courtship, early years of marriage and the birth of their son. It’s Roscoe’s devotion to Marie that spawns his undoing. When Marie inherits her father’s land, all she wants is for Roscoe to give up his job as an electrician and become a farmer. This isn’t Roscoe’s vision, but he submits to her strong will. The farm is unprofitable until Roscoe comes up with an idea. Using his skills as an electrician, he will “(step) down electricity that (belongs) to Alabama Power,” tap into the company’s grid to power his farm. “He would have his work back, a job of currents and wires, forces and reactions, and the farm would grow so strong that it could run itself.” With the help of Wilson, his African-American farm hand, Roscoe is successful. For two years, the farm is prosperous, and no one is the wiser. Roscoe and Marie’s relationship also improves. Roscoe’s happy cloud evaporates, however, when a transformer electrocutes George Haskin, who “sat high on a pole off the northeast corner of the farm.” Roscoe gets a prison sentence, and his accomplice, Wilson, is sent to the mines, a fate men of color suffered when convicted of crimes. “Work Like Any Other” is addictive when it focuses on Roscoe’s life behind bars and the perils he suffers, a good man you can’t help but have sympathy for, but one earmarked for suffering. While the writing is a bit confusing in spots, an uneven walk as it moves back and forth in time, it’s worth reading. Reprinted with permission, Missourian Publishing Company. Copyright 2016.

Ruiz captures sixth at state BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

WISCONSIN RAPIDS—Webster senior Andrew Ruiz capped off his high school cross country career with a sixth place finish at the WIAA State Cross Country Championships on Saturday in Wisconsin Rapids. According to Ruiz, planning for Saturday began a year ago after he finished 14th in last year’s state meet. “I had eight seniors in front of me so my goal was a top-six spot — a spot on the podium,” he related. “It’s what I’ve been working for all year so to get it was pretty cool.” Crossing the line in 16:39.64, he nearly had fifth but Algoma’s Jacob Wahlers had the stronger kick and held off Ruiz by two one-hundredths of a second. “I got out where I wanted to, but it was a little fast — I had people pushing me the whole time,” Ruiz remarked of the start. “I was tired at the Andrew Ruiz end but I knew I had to push Webster cross country runner through and give it everything I had — it was my last race and I had nothing to lose.” About a quarter mile from the end, Ruiz started his kick for the line and finished sixth. “It was a nice way to finish my senior year — absolutely,” he exclaimed. Running mate Joey Formanek finished the 5,000-meter race in 17:44.66, good for 45th place, an improvement from his 69th place showing last year. Each year of his high school career, Formanek has finished the season at Wisconsin Rapids. “It was pretty exciting,” he noted. The race didn’t start as well as he would’ve hoped. “I kind of got boxed in at the beginning and wasn’t able to start as fast as I wanted to, but that’s just how cross country races go,” Formanek explained. Coach Roy Ward was proud of the runners who competed at state but guards against complacency. “We’ve been blessed with a good tradition of taking kids to state — it doesn’t happen overnight,” he said. “It’s amazing we have the kids who are willing to go through the amount of work it takes to get there — the commitment is unbelievable.” He doesn’t want to take that trip for granted and whether it’s three runners, like it was this year, or an entire team, it’s always a good thing. Several teammates took the trip to provide moral support and to see what the state meet is like. “It was neat for them to see that experience and to help motivate them to get here themselves,” Ward concluded.

‘It’s what I’ve been working for all year so to get it was pretty cool.’

Pirates get past Cardinals to advance to Level 3 BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates hosted a tough Spring Valley Cardinals team on Friday night in Level 2 of WIAA Division 6 playoff action, with the Pirates coming away with a 27-13 win to keep their season alive and sending them into Level 3 action. “That was a hard fought win over a very good Spring Valley team,” Pirate coach Adam Hale said. “Our defense did a great job of shutting down their running attack and forced Spring Valley to throw more than they’re accustomed to. John Chenal and Austin Bowman were all over the field, and Hauk Moritz did a nice job plugging up the middle.” The Pirates took the opening

drive down the field and looked like they would put up points on the scoreboard early, but the drive was cut short when the Cardinals intercepted a Pirate pass in the end zone. Grantsburg’s defense stood tall and shut down the Cardinal at-

tack to get the ball back. With 4:49 left in the first quarter Avery Fagerberg kicked a 40yard field goal to give the hometown boys a 3-0 lead. The Pirates struck again in the second quarter when John Chenal ran it in from 17 yards out for the first touchdown of the game. The PAT by Fagerberg was good to go up 10-0. Grantsburg’s offense was stalled again, but Fagerberg was able to get three more points on the board with a 27-yard field goal to give the Pirates the 13-0 lead with 5:33 left in the half. The Pirate defense stopped a Cardinal attack late in the second quarter when Spring Valley went for it on fourth down and seven yards to go. They completed SEE PIRATES, PAGE 20

Running with the best WISCONSIN RAPIDS—Making a habit of finishing her season at state, Grantsburg Pirate Grace Gerber clocked a time of 20:38.12, good enough for 26th place at Saturday’s WIAA State Cross Country Championships in Wisconsin Rapids. The sophomore was the first girl from the Drummond sectional, the sectional from which Grantsburg advanced to state, to finish the race. “Our race started really fast but it’s been like that all season,” Gerber observed. “I just tried keeping a steady pace.” Teammate Hallie Jensen finished 43rd in a time of 21:00.96. “It was a really good way to end my cross country career,” Jensen added. She agreed with Gerber about a fast start. “That’s what I expected at state — it’s the way it always is,” she continued. “I finished where I expected to and was happy with my time.” The third Pirate across the line was Brittanie Blume, finishing 52nd with a time of 21:12.39. She said it isn’t an accident that the three finish close to one another. “We’ve been working together all season — we push and pull each other in our racing to help one another,” Blume explained. She took running with the best in the state as just another meet. “I was just trying to maintain my pace, keeping my eyes on the runners ahead of me and passing

This was a return trip to Wisconsin Rapids for all three girls. “The girls didn’t set personal records (PRs), but were happy with beating some of our close competition,” Pirate coach Andrea Nightengale observed. The lone Tiger representing Webster at Saturday’s meet was Sam Nelson. She posted a time of 21:36.92, good for 68th place. “The race was hard for me — I started way too fast,” Nelson admitted. “I was really tired for the rest of the race so that didn’t make it fun.” She narrowly missed going to

Mercer ends Tigers’ season BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

MINONG—The Mercer Tigers abruptly put a kibosh on the Webster Tigers volleyball season as Mercer defeated Webster three games to none at the Sectional semi-final game at Northwood School last Thursday. The game scores were 25-17, 25-14 and 2516. “The girls played tough and have a lot to be proud of,” said Webster coach Stefanie Janssen. “Yes, it was tough (the loss), but overall the girls had a great season.” “I am so proud of all of the girls for being flexible throughout the season and for always being willing to take on whatever role would best serve the team. They learned to work together to accomplish a goal, and it paid off with a regional title!” Taylor Howe led the Webster team with 12 kills, seven assists, three blocks and two aces. Sophie Phernetton had seven kills, two blocks, two aces and an assist. Mikki Walker added six assists, two digs and two kills.

Pirates fall just short of State BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

DURAND—The Grantsburg Pirates faced their toughest test of the season on Saturday and came up just short of making the trip to Green Bay for the State tournament as they fell to a powerful LaCrosse Aquinas team in the Sectional finals. It took all five games to decide the winner as both teams pounded the ball relentlessly and made outstanding defensive plays as well keeping the fans on the edge of their seats the entire night. But in the end, the Blugolds edged out the Pirates 3-2 to take the win. “Aquinas is a D1 caliber school and by far the best team we have faced all season— even in spite of our other losses,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “I’m proud of our ability to compete with a team like that and I believe we are state tournament quality.” In the first set, the Pirates started a little slow and somewhat tentative. The Blugolds’ booming hits were intimidating, but it didn’t take long before the gals in purple stepped up their attack and slammed the ball to the Aquinas’ side of the court. The Pirates were down 4-9 before rallying back to tie it up at 9-9 behind the serving of Rachel Glover. The two teams traded points back and forth, but when the dust settled, the Pirates came away with a 26-24 win to go up 1-0, proving to everyone in the gym that they were there to play. “Our hitters were powerful and tough to stop. Due to Aquinas’ tough serving and hitting, our passes were not quite consistent enough to run our faster offense,” Allaman-Johnson said. The next set was much of the same with several lead changes as both teams battled back and forth, eventually knotted up at 23-23. A questionable call by the official gave Aquinas the 24-23 lead and they went on to take this one, 25-23. The Pirates had a slow start to the third set again and found themselves down 2-8 before calling a timeout. Kenna Johnson came out of the time out and put down a huge kill to end the Blugold rally, and Grantsburg started to claw their way back into the game. Aquinas held on for the win 25-19, and went up 2-1 on the Pirates. “Although we played great defense, we had a difficult time stopping their outside hitters,” the coach noted. “We served 97 percent which is excellent, but we did not serve tough enough to fluster their passers. Also, they were not able to ace us as much as they usually ace teams.” The fourth set was a must win for the Pirates if they hoped to keep their State tournament dreams alive. Grantsburg would jump out to a small lead, only to have the Blugold come storming back. The Pirates were up 24-21, but Aquinas kept hanging around and eventual-

ly tied it up at 24-24. Aquinas got the next point to go up 25-24, but an early celebration by one of the players off the bench coming on to the court along with the coach stepping onto the court trying to stop her, led to a yellow card for “unnecessary delay,” and the point and sideout were instead given to the Pirates who went up 25-24. The Blugolds tied it up at 25-25 before Grantsburg was able to put the game away 27-25 to bring the match to a 2-2 tie. Unfortunately for the Pirates, the fifth set was all Aquinas as they stamped their ticket to Green Bay with a 15-6 win to end Grantsburg’s season. Senior Rhiana Pochman led the team in kills with 24, followed by Kenna Johnson with 17. Randi Siebenthal tallied eight with Cassidy Lee right behind her with seven. Pochman also led the way in blocks with seven, with Johnson right there with six. Lee recorded three and Siebenthal one. Sophomore libero Jenna McNally was all over the backcourt and tallied 20 digs to lead the team.

Pochman had 16, Siebenthal 15 and Glover 10. Senior setter Claire Palmquist led the Pirates in assists with 35. The Pirates end their season with an impressive 19-4 record, their 27th conference title, along with their 25th regional title. “We started the season tough, defeating D1 schools and state-ranked teams, and we just kept getting stronger. We were a different team at the end of October than we were at the end of September. I’m very proud of our work ethic, mental toughness, and unity down the stretch,” Allaman-Johnson said of her team. “Most years, we get back in the gym right up until the state tournament, even if we’re not playing at state. This year, I’m not ready to face life without my beloved seniors: Britta, Cass, Claire, Rhiana, and Tymber. Volleyball is an unusually bonding team sport. Every contact depends on a teammate. Successful teams have a high level of care and trust.”

PIRATES: Advance to host Eau Claire Regis Friday night

Dragons win at Jamboree SCHOFIELD—Brady Mangen scored six touchdowns, five on the ground and one in the air, and led the Siren Dragons to a 46-38 win over Green Bay NEW Lutheran on Saturday at the WIAA Eight Man Football Jamboree at Schofield. “It was a great high school football game. It was classic Siren football,” exclaimed Siren coach Ryan Karsten. “Get down by double digits in the first half and claw, scratch and grind back into the game in the second half. That was this senior classes reputation over the last few years, but for the most part, they always answered the bell and showed who they are.” “At the end of the third quarter we were down 38-22 with 4:30 left in the quarter and the ball on our own 10 yard line. We ground out a 90 yard drive to give us hope. The key play was a 26 yard pass from Dolan Highstrom to Tanner Lee on a second and 22. That got us going. Then on the next defensive series, Noah Koball caused a fumble that was recovered by Max Lindquist. We just kept the momentum rolling and scored the go ahead touchdown with 39 seconds left, and their last drive was stopped with three seconds left with an interception by Dolan Highstrom.” Karsten continued, “We rode our bell cow, Brady Mangen, in his last high school football game. He had 56 carries and two catches, ending with 340 yards on the ground and

10 yards through the air, with five rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown, four rushing two-point conversions, and one two-point conversion throwing. He ended his senior year with 326 carries for 2,161 yards and 33 touchdowns. (He is) one of the top running backs in the state on any team. He definitely couldn’t run for that amount of yards without the great blocking of his brother, Bailey Mangen, as well as Garret Hunter, Max Lindquist, Tanner Lee, Noah Koball, Tyler Anton and Lukas Hunter.” “It is a hard point of the season.

I have to say goodbye to five of the best seniors that a head coach could ask for — Brady and Bailey Mangen, Garret Hunter, Max Lindquist, and Tanner Lee. They have been the best role models that the young kids on our team could have. They work hard in school, out of school and in the community. It has been my honor to have these young men in my life and on my team. I love them each like a son. It has made me very proud to see how they have turned themselves in wonderful young men. I wish them the best in whatever the future has in store for them.”

Pirates advance to Sectional ﬁnal BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

SHELL LAKE—The Pirates traveled to Shell Lake on Thursday night to take on the Phillips Loggers in a rematch of last year’s Sectional semi-finals. Grantsburg was looking for some redemption from last year when the Loggers ended the Pirates’ season in this round, and they got it, defeating Phillips 3-1 by scores of 25-13, 21-25, 25-13 and 25-15. “We decided to go into this match ‘blind.’ Last year, we had watched game film and came away from it overly confident,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “Then when things started to go poorly on the court, we panicked and got tentative. It was that subtle ‘play to not lose’ instead of ‘play to win’ mental shift that hurt us in 2015.” The Pirates left no doubt this year as they dominated the Loggers right from the start of the night. “The Pirates came out pounding. Big kills, tough defense, solid serve receive and a well-above-average blocking performance,” the coach said. “There were many long rallies, so we got in some good conditioning.” After such a convincing 25-13 win, the Pirates had a slight hiccup in the second set and the Loggers took advantage to get the 25-21 win. “We had a brief letdown in the second set as Phillips really stepped up their defense. “Otherwise, we managed to stay in the driver’s seat and executed consistently,” Allaman-Johnson noted. “The Phillips setter was very good. They had a sweet slide hitter and outsides who could hit the deep corners with powerful topspin. “But, the most impressive thing about the Loggers was their defense.

the pass for the first down, but Chenal stripped the ball from the receiver’s arms and Luke Anderson was there to recover the fumble to put a stop to the drive. The Cardinals got another chance on offense before the half, but the Pirate defense broke up a pass to the back of the end zone to end the half with a 13-0 lead. “We didn’t do the best job of executing when we had some scoring chances in the first half, but having a kicker like Avery Fagerberg put three points on the board twice was huge,” Hale said. Spring Valley was able to get on the scoreboard late in the third quarter on a 24-yard pass play. The PAT was no good to make it a 13-6 game. With 4:28 left in the game, on fourth down with five yards to go, the Pirates found paydirt again on a spectacular catch by Jared Peltier from a 35-yard pass by Chenal. The PAT was good, and the Pirates were up 20-6. The Cardinals were not ready to quit yet, and with 1:55 on the clock they punched in a oneyard TD run. The PAT was good, making it a 2013 game. The Pirates put the dagger in the Cardinals’ hopes of a miraculous comeback when Fagerberg busted loose a 40-yard touchdown run with 22 seconds left in the game. The PAT was good to end the scoring at 27-13. “In the fourth quarter we had two big scores. John’s pass to Jared Peltier was a game clincher and Jared’s catch was phenomenal,” Hale noted. “The last drive was key, too, and our O-line did a great job continuing the drive. Avery popped one for the final score.” Chenal and Fagerberg led the Pirate rushing attack with both racking up 110 yards. Dakota Schultz had 49 yards on 15 carries. Schultz was seven of eight for 52 yards at the quarterback position. Peltier was the leading receiver with two catches for 42 yards and a TD. On the defensive side, Chenal tallied 10 solo tackles and seven assists. Austin Bowman had five of each, and Fagerberg had five solos and four assists. Leo Chenal rounded out the list with two solos and eight assists. The win keeps the No. 1 seeded Pirates’ undefeated season alive and they advance to Level 3 of playoff action, and will host the No. 2 Eau Claire Regis Ramblers on Friday night. Game time is 7 p.m. “If we want to continue our season, we’ll have to execute better in the passing game and clean up some blocking assignments,” Hale said. “With the remaining teams in D-6 having a combined 88-1 record, the competition is incredible. We just have to focus on one play at a time.”

It was swarming, smothering and sensational. Tipping was almost impossible against them. We had to hit hard, so we did. It is always great to have several offensive options, with many hitters swinging confidently.” The Pirates got back on track and cruised to 25-13 and 25-15 wins to move on to face LaCrosse Aquinas in the Sectional finals. Rhiana Pochman led the charge with 23 kills, followed by Kenna Johnson with 12. Cassidy Lee and

Tuesday, November 8, Americans will go to the polls to elect the next leaders of our nation. The men and women we elect and put into office will be a direct reflection of the moral, social and spiritual values of the majority of those who voted. If you fail to vote ,then your values will not even be taken into consideration. Voting for the values we hold dear is a tremendous privilege and a profound responsibility that was given to us by the founders of our nation and by God. This is freedom. The only chance we have to hold on to this freedom is to exercise our right to vote.

Now, no candidate for public office is perfect and no candidate may fully believe what any one of us believes. Nor will any public official be able to do all that we may want to have done. But, we are again being given the opportunity to choose, from among those running for office, the ones who most closely hold our values. The majority of those voting for candidates who hold similar values will choose our next leaders. As believers in God, and as Christians who have His Holy Spirit living within us, ask God what His desire is for our nation.

Muehlberg offers ‘a listening ear’ BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Caylin (Bowman) Muehlberg says buying a home in Grantsburg two years ago and “putting down roots” made her think about “someday” running for the Grantsburg Village Board. That someday arrived in October, when she was appointed to the trustee position that opened when John Dickinsen, elected in May, resigned in July to take a teaching job in another community. Her appointment will expire in April of 2018. Now Muehlberg (pronounced Mullberg) is the newest village board member and only the fourth woman to serve on the board in the village’s 151 year history. Running for the board “is something I have considered for a long time,” she adds. The daughter of Craig and Cindy Bowman, Muehlberg grew up in Grantsburg. “I have always been interested in community service, politics, social service — that stuff has always interested me. “Friends encouraged me and the more I learned, the more interested I became.” Muehlberg says she doesn’t have an agenda. “I just hope to learn as much as I can about what’s going on with the village board and the community. With the annual budget coming up and hiring a new village clerk, I want to be as well informed as I can on all sides of the issues. I will be asking lots of questions of lots of different people.” She wants to encourage growth and to support events like National Night Out that help neighbors get to know each other. “I like to see people get involved in their community,” she continued. “The library is very important to me. I have been a library patron since it was in the old hospital building, some 20

years ago. It’s wonderful to take my son to the present library to participate in their programs. “No other community service is as nonjudgmental and unbiased and open to everyone,” she added. “It doesn’t matter your social status, economic status, race, gender, age, politics, religion — it doesn’t even matter if you can read. The library doesn’t care, and there is something for everyone there.” She also appreciates the community’s other activities for kids and families, including the open skating sessions and free swimming lessons, as well as the village’s parks and trails. After completing her home school education, Muehlberg got an associates degree at Anoka Ramsey Community College, then earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry at Augsburg College in Minneapolis. She considered doing pharmacy, but her life goals changed, she said. Returning to Grantsburg, she became an EMT for North Memorial in 2010, earning both the basic EMT license and the IV Tech license through WITC. She works three 24-hour shifts every two weeks. She and her husband, James, have a son, Jameson, 20 months, and are expecting a daughter early next year. “I have always enjoyed and appreciated Grantsburg. It was a great place to grow up, where people know each other and are supportive of one another. I have family here with my parents, and I have roots.” 4-H was an important part of her childhood and teen years, and it provided her with opportunities for leadership and travel, including trips to Madison, Atlanta, GA and Washington, DC. She also represented 4-H as a lobbyist to the state legislature during Superior Days at the state capitol. “Your village doesn’t just happen. It requires a lot of work, a lot of study and

Grantsburg native Caylin Bowman Muehlberg looks forward to serving the community in her new role as a Trustee on the Grantsburg Village Board.

a lot of decisions. Many people may not realize that, or they take it for granted. “4-H helped me learn those responsibilities by being treasurer, vice president and president of the club and then taking junior leadership positions.” Other women on the village board

include Tasha Olson, appointed to a one-year term May 2012-13; Rayna Surdey, April 2014-16 and Diane Barton, 2013-present. “I hope to offer a listening ear to the community and hear all sides of the issues,” she concluded.

Connections — Mount Telemark BY EMILY STONE, NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Piling out of our cars onto the cracked concrete parking area, we all commented on the perfect weather for our hike. Sunshine, a light breeze, and 45 degrees is about as good as it gets in late October in northwestern Wisconsin. This group of curious adults was gathering for a walk titled “Why Wisconsin Forests Look the Way they Do No. 5,” led by John Kotar, emeritus professor of forest ecology from University of Wisconsin-Madison, who literally wrote the book on natural communities in the Great Lakes region. Our destination was Mount Telemark—a place with a lot of history. As we hiked up the gravel access road, weathered sheds huddled in the bushes and rusty ski lifts peeked through the trees and overgrown fields. Telemark Lodge was an alpine ski area founded by Tony Wise in 1947, one of the first in the United States. Tony had discovered alpine skiing while stationed in the Bavarian Alps during World War II, and then used a GI Loan to purchase this hill. The resort eventually became a hub of cross-country skiing, and the birthplace of the world-renowned American Birkebeiner ski race. The impressive lodge with its giant fireplace was built in 1972; a Colosseum with four tennis courts added in 1980; and in 1984 it went through the first bankruptcy (of four). I personally have relatively few memories of Telemark Lodge when it was open, but in the collective memory of our community, our region and skiers across the country, this place looms large. At the center of it all is Mount Telemark, a 300-foottall “mountain.” Topo maps show a wide, irregular hill; elongated NW to SE and rising above a sea of lumpy terrain. Legend says that the Ojibwe named it Kawabming, meaning “place to look out from.” The view is quite nice. It attracted skiers here in the 1980’s, and it drew us here today. John Kotar himself has a long history of Birkie skiing and Telemark memories. But its history began long before the Ojibwe, Tony Wise, or John Kotar arrived.

EMILY STONE

John Kotar talks about the geologic history of Mount Telemark while the rusty tower from a chair lift speaks to events in the hill’s more recent past.

Around 10,000 to 14,000 years ago, near the end of the last ice age, this area was buried under a mile or more of glacial ice, and the ice was melting. The retreat of the glacier was a messy affair. Glaciers don’t glide backward, they disintegrate. Chunks of dirty ice broke off and got buried or surrounded by heaps of debris. Sand and gravel filled in every possible hole, crack, and gap in the remaining ice. Sediment-choked rivers of meltwater coursed along the glacier’s surface and plunged downward through crevasses, or vertical shafts called moulins. By one

account, Mount Telemark was created in one of these moulins. First, sediment would have piled up in the hole, and then become a hill when the ice melted away. By Kotar’s account, the sediment may not have filled in such an orderly space, but simply a gap in the ice that was created as the glacier parted around a bedrock lump. In either case, we ended up with a giant hill of glacial remains. In fact, this is the tallest pile of glacial sediment (technically known as a kame) in all of Minnesota and Wisconsin. The steep-sided landform provided slopes for 10 different ski runs in its heyday—served by six ropes, three T-bars, and three double chair lifts. In a little twist of irony—on top of a hill once buried by a mile of ice—Tony Wise devised some of the original snowmaking equipment in the Midwest. The first iteration involved using logging sleds to haul snow up from the airport runways and blowing it out over the slopes with a silo loader. The very next year they installed a commercial system that used Larchmont Snow Guns and pipes—still visible along the forest edges—to carry water uphill. This landform, made of gravel and cobbles, also provides dry, nutrient-poor soil that favors trees like oaks, pines and birches. The human disturbance of cleared, then abandoned ski runs also has impacted what grows here. The gently sloping clearing that we hiked up, for instance, sported a thicket of slender birch trees next to the rusted cables of a ski lift. Birches have very low shade tolerance, and took advantage of the sunny, open space to get a head start. The view from the top was spectacular. Two vibrant, orange maple trees stood out in the sea of evergreen, rich oak-brown and tamarack gold. We could also see an airport, golf course, roads, distant fire tower and more remnants of the resort buildings and ski runs. Of the five places we’ve visited with John to learn “Why Wisconsin Forests Look the Way they Do,” this one especially drives home the fact that glaciers and humans have been two of the driving forces shaping nature in the Northwoods.
