Webb Lake gives thanks JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

WEBB LAKE— For the last four years on the Thursday before Thanksgiving the Webb Lake community has gathered at the Webb Lake Town Hall to enjoy a meal and give back to their community. This year the donations honored three persons/ groups. S. Sgt. Timothy Hemquist, who recently returned from Kuwait, where he received care packages from Webb Lake, was one of the honored attendees. They also honored American Legion Auxiliary #403 and North Ambulance, which will move into its new garage in A&H on Jan. 1. Webb Lake Town Hall was packed with almost 100 people in attendance spanning all ages. The event is run by Sharon Knowler. “We’ve been doing this for four years and we always honor different groups,” Knowler said. “We don’t charge anybody for the meal, but people donate what they can because we’re giving back to good causes that are helpful in our community.” Knowler runs a meat raffle at The Cabaret in Webb Lake every Friday night from 6-8 p.m. “We use that money to help people, however we can

Webb Lake residents enjoy their fouth annual Thanksgiving meal. Money donated to the event will go to various Webb Lake events throughout the year.

McNally Industries gets $40 million contract GRANTSBURG—McNally Industries of Grantsburg was recently awarded a five-year military contract with a ceiling of $40 million, the largest contract in the company’s 75-year history.

Meth anonymous group eyes expansion JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY— In the past few months Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA) meetings have been held in Danbury at the Tribal Hall on Sundays and Tuesdays at Lakeside Community Lutheran church in Webster. “Both meetings are open to any and everyone,” said meetings organizer, Shara’lanee’ Staples-Skinaway. “You don’t have to be in the tribe to go to the tribal hall meetings. Last Sunday we had our most at any meeting – 14 people.” Andrew Bruss of Siren has been sober for

over a month and a half after using meth for over eight years. He learned about the CMA meetings through his probation officer and drug court. Bruss said of the 14 people at that meeting, he knew 12 from when he was using. The shared experience is what keeps him coming back. “When I was getting sober I did a lot of reading of a lot of different recovery books,” Staples-Skinaway said. “I donated five or six books to the jail and stuffed them with information about the meetings.” Bruss and Staples-Skinaway both said that narcotics anonymous meetings are helpful, but

the CMA meetings are much more direct and talking with people who have gone through the same things with meth are extremely helpful in the recovery process.

Meth in area Staples-Skinaway’s husband Thomas Skinaway grew up in Burnett County and he said SEE METH, PAGE 6

Sexual assault case begins next year JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY— A Cushing man has been charged with multiple felony counts of child sexual assault for incidents spanning over several years in Burnett and Polk counties. David J.R. Ohnstad, 23, is facing five felony counts of first-degree child sexual assault with a child under the age of 13 in Burnett County Circuit Court. Three identical charges he faced in Polk County have been combined for one case in Burnett County. If Ohnstad is convicted he could be facing 60 years in prison for each charge. The charges were filed a year ago in Burnett County with incidents going back as far as 2009. Charges were then filed in Polk County in April. The case has been assigned to Judge Daniel Tolan of Polk County, but the jury trial will be held in Burnett County starting in February.

Background According to the criminal complaint, in 2013 the victim first stated her claim to law enforcement after an apparent drug overdose. She said she was in elementary school when the alleged assaults began. Ohnstad’s family and the victim’s family were close and would often see each other at gatherings. The victim said all the kids would watch movies. She said they would be covered in blankets and Ohnstad would start touching her legs and feet. Then he would “work his way around.” She knew something was wrong and if she said something she would be in a lot of trouble. In the complaint the victim states that things got “progressively worse and he would get her alone.” She said Ohnstad allegedly touched her genitals. The victim said she would play a game involving hiding with Ohnstad. She would try to hide alone and that’s when the defendant would find her and allegedly put his hands down her pants. In 2010 the victim alleges Ohnstad was teaching her a basketball game and was again putting his hands down her pants. She says he said “this is the relationship the families have and that it was the way it is supposed to be.” A year later around Christmas the victim was fishing with members of her family when Ohnstad showed up. She felt uncomfortable and decided to go in. Ohnstad offered her a ride on the snowmobile, she said no. Then her family began asking questions about to taking the ride, so she agreed. She drove and alleges that Ohnstad put his hands down her snow pants and penetrated her digitally. The last occurrence was around Easter 2012. They were watching a movie and Ohnstad allegedly grabbed her feet and began working his way up. Then the victim kicked him in the thigh. She said this was when she was getting older and started standing up to him The trial begins Feb. 12 in Burnett County.

Strabel said one of her regular customer won the grand prize in the past for the Great Summer Giveaway “When you buy from a small business and actual person does a little happy dance,” is a quote from the Shop Small campaign that Strabel posted on Peggy’s Facebook page last week. Strabel knows her business is different than Walmart and Kohl’s because of the connection she has with her customers. “I know most of the customers that come through here,” Strabel said. “Men come up to me and say, ‘You helped

MCNALLY: awarded a ﬁve-year military contract CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

In addition to manufacture and assembling the bipods, the contract also requires live fire testing which will be performed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, MD. McNally Senior Vice President and General Manager Jim Segelstrom said, “McNally’s is extremely busy. The MWS

contract is not only the largest in McNally’s history, but with all of the activity in our other Army and Navy programs, we also have a record backlog.” MWS Program Manager Amy Olson added, “This is a great opportunity for McNally to provide our soldiers with the weapon systems they need on the battlefield.” McNally is performing its MWS work as subcontractor to Elbit

Systems of Ft Worth, Texas and is also working closely with the end user, which is the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey. Segelstrom added “If there are any machinists looking for good work and an opportunity to serve our military, we are hiring.” Initially, the plan to add four full-time positions. McNally Industries has operated in Grantsburg since 1942.

NOVEMBER 22, 2017

Top Five Foods Thanksgiving, a day celebrated by Americans in November and Canadians in October. It’s also a day the British sit around and think about what could have been if only they were able to hold on to this colony. That hasn’t stopped them from attempting to steal Black Friday. But, this is no place to discuss Cristoforo Colombo (Columbus’ given name) or genocide or even the puritan Pilgrims. This is a space to talk about food and how we over-indulge in celebration. I crafted this list with all food groups in mind including vegetables, because I believe we can learn from past decisions and not discriminate as we move into the future. It’s also a list of classics; you’ll find no fusion stuff here. Coming in at number five is the token vegetable – brussels sprouts. These tiny cabbages are easy to eat, but difficult to hide. Proper procedure for eating is in a bowl Sentinel with plenty of butter and a heavy peppering. Editor Continuing to number four is the Jonathan Richie forgettable roll. Directly out of the oven is when they are best. Funny story: one year (well, every year) my mom would get up early to clean and prep the bird. Then inevitably around two in the afternoon we would gather around to eat. The rolls would be nicely sitting in a bag in a corner of the kitchen and she would lose it. “Oh no, the rolls! How did you guys let me forget the rolls again?” Mom asked my two brothers and me. Then my older brother would chime in. “Well it is definitely funnier this way.” In a surprise upset, the turkey is number three. Now some may believe the belle of the ball should be one or two, but not on this list. It is a myth that turkey is what puts you to sleep during the late afternoon football game. It is far more likely that stuffing your face is what makes your eyelids heavy. Also, there’s a profound issue with turkey. It becomes dry almost immediately, which means one should have a plentiful amount of gravy ready to go for leftovers. Number two is stuffing. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s cooked inside or outside the turkey. I would eat an entire serving dish of stuffing if it were acceptable in society. It’s got more pizazz than mashed potatoes and it’s really the only time I eat rosemary. Drumroll please! Pumpkin pie is number one, but really it could be any pie. You absolutely cannot go wrong with pie. Lastly, Thanksgiving is not just about food. It’s also kind of about family and what we’re thankful for in our lives. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Be grateful The paper is out a day early this week in preparation for Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day holiday. Our offices will be closed on Thursday and Friday so our staff can enjoy time with family. Thanksgiving is not the flashiest holiday, but it’s vitally important to our society and collective psyche that we take the time to be grateful, if even for a few moments before sharing a meal on Thursday. Our society has grown increasingly more and more self-centered and materialistic. If it is shiny and new, bring it on so we can share it on social media and get “likes” from our virtual friends. From the The simple act of sitting at a table Publisher’s and sharing a meal has become the Desk exception rather than the norm at many households as the pace of our Tom Stangl life continues to accelerate. Gathi with i h ffriends i ering and family on Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect and simply enjoy the act of being together. Some families pause before saying grace at Thanksgiving dinner so the people in attendance can tell what they are grateful for. This exercise can be extremely frustrating for those who are dying to tie into the food and often results in some responses that aren’t really given too much thought. But that’s just fine. The act of being forced to think of something you are thankful for can lead to more thoughts of gratitude. In doing some research for this column, I found several lists of things to be thankful for every day. Real Simple magazine’s website had a list of 111 things to be thankful for this year. I’d like to share a few that resonated with me. Perhaps they will give you some fodder for your big moment on Thursday. Quirky traditions that make your family special.

The best friend you can call after months apart, and pick up right where you left off. Laundry machines. The healing power of music. The people in your life who have been stand-in mothers and fathers whenever you’ve needed them. Correct grammar. Baby giggles. Your health—even on days when it isn’t perfect. Puppies. Holiday recipes that have been passed down through the family for years. Kittens. Your parents—because no matter how old you are, they can still solve any problem. Fireplaces. Every good book you’ve read that has helped you escape for a few hours. Younger siblings you still get to protect, and older ones who will always protect you. S’mores and campfires. A table full of people who can tell stories from a shared childhood. A heartfelt thank you note. Thick albums full of photos. Friendships, new and old. Movies you can watch again and again. Blanket forts. Lilacs in the spring. Saturday mornings. A really good hug. Belly laughs. Coffee. Chocolate. Peanut butter. Wine. Dishwashers. Your nieces, your nephews, your grandchildren. You see, it’s pretty easy to come up with a long list if you take the time to think about it. Many of the items, like many things in life, are simply taken for granted. For me, gratitude is about a conscious choice to stop taking things for granted. There are precious few things that we can take for granted in life. Coming to that realization, everything else will fall in place. Happy Thanksgiving! As always, I welcome your comments.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SIREN SENIORS by Nona Severson

Legislature looks ahead to 2018 BY WISPOLITICS.COM

Lawmakers are gone until 2018 with the fate of several high-profile bills still up in the air and a limited spring floor calendar ahead. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald say they’re leaving it to bill backers to make their case to colleagues for those measures to advance. “It always starts with the author and then you take into consideration the different opinions of the different members. We kind of have the circular discussions about these (bills) seeing whether there’s enough momentum to move them along,” Fitzgerald said. Both leaders said their spring agendas are uncertain, in part, because they passed dozens of bills in the fall that had cleared committees in their houses. But one thing is clear: the Assembly won’t take up Gov. Scott Walker’s attempt to bring back an aid package for rural districts. As they look to the spring, one topic of frequent speculation in recent weeks has been how long either house will be in session next year. Some have predicted the Assembly would adjourn by the end of January to allow time for constituent work and gearing up re-election campaigns. But Vos said he expects the chamber will be in during two weeks of January and February as well. Fitzgerald said he expects to be in one day each in January, February and March. Vos said that would mean the Assembly could wrap up its work by the final February floor period, now scheduled for Feb. 19-22, and give the Senate a day in March to put the final touches on legislation that could head to Walker. “We’ll be in enough

days to complete our work so that by the end of the February floor period we are done,” Vos said. Vos said he hopes to spend a good part of January on a package of crime bills that cleared the Senate this week. The bills range from removing limits on how long someone can be held at one of Wisconsin’s youth prisons to increasing mandatory minimum sentences and requiring the Department of Corrections to recommend revoking extended supervision, parole or probation for anyone charged with a crime while on one of the three. Spending estimates on the bills varied with Dems warning the costs could balloon into the millions of dollars. Vos told reporters he particularly wanted to know the cost for revoking the parole of those who commit a crime while on release. Vos tells WisPolitics. com he hoped to get an analysis on the costs by January. If there’s a big financial commitment, the issue would be sent to the Joint Finance Committee, where Vos expects bonding or other funding would be added to address possible needs to house more prisoners. “We’re not just going to pass the bill with spending without appropriate resources to do it,” Vos said. “That’s why we’re trying to be deliberate.” The Speaker’s Task Force on Foster Care is working on a package that Vos hopes to take up next year, and he’d like to continue work on economic development efforts. He said some of that is not defined yet. But he’s looking at ways to encourage counties to identify land that could be pre-approved to be developed for small businesses. Vos used his popcorn factory as an example. He wants to find space to build a larger factory to

consolidate operations. But he’s running into options that include land that’s expensive or industrial parks that have numerous requirements and little space. Fitzgerald said he expects the standing committees to be busy over the next two months and he’ll see what they pull together. “That’ll set the tone for spring, I think,” he said. While both leaders tell WisPolitics some high-profile bills are a work in progress, Vos declared Walker’s sparsity aid package will not clear his house this session. Assembly Republicans put a package in the budget to boost low-spending school districts by allowing them to collect more in property taxes. But Walker vetoed the plan due to his concerns over the impact on property tax bills. Instead, Walker called on lawmakers to pump more state money into sparsity aid, which help small, rural schools. A plan authored by state Sen. Howard Marklein, R-Spring Green, and Rep. Jeffrey Mursau, R-Crivitz, mirroring the sparsity aid package Walker included in his budget carries a price tag of $9.7 million. Vos said the budget makes a “historic” investment in public schools and pointed out Assembly Republicans had a different approach to helping rural districts than the guv. “We’re not going to go back and re-argue all of the battles we had in 2017 in the spring of ‘18,” Vos said. “For the most part, that issue is put to bed and we’ll have the opportunity to come back in the next budget and discuss sparsity aid and low-spending school districts.” Fitzgerald said he hasn’t discussed the bill with his caucus.

To the editor, I am very thankful to the staff of the Continuing Care Center at BMC. I’m writing this letter to let it be known that this group of care givers are topnotch. The RN’s, CNA’s and other professionals working here in Grantsburg are caring, capable, conscientious, and just plain good people. They help many residents and their families daily, while keeping a positive outlook and a good sense of humor. We are truly fortunate to have this facility in Grantsburg. Pete Johnson To the editor, Too often we only read about all the wrongs that people do. I would like to tell about the kindness of a stranger. A couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday morning, I was taking two ladies to catch a bus to go to the State Special Olympics bowling competition. One of my tires went flat. When I stopped a gentleman in a pick-up truck stopped right behind me. He rapidly changed the tire for me and we were able to get back on our way. I would like that man to know that the ladies did catch their bus and they both did very well at the Special Olympics competition. Thank you again. Becky, Martika and Doris Harer

Bill would lower drinking age in Wisconsin to 19 SCOTT BAUER

MADISON (AP)—Wisconsin’s beer-loving reputation would get a boost under a proposal to lower the state’s drinking age to 19. But teenagers shouldn’t reserve those kegs just yet. The bill, circulated Wednesday by three Republican lawmakers including the former president of the Wisconsin Tavern League, has to overcome at least two big hurdles before it could become law. First, it’s not supported by Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who plays a central role in determining which ideas are brought up for a vote. Neither the leader of the Senate nor Gov. Scott Walker, who would have to sign the bill should it pass the Legislature, immediately replied to messages seeking comment. Second, the drinking age would only drop to 19 if Wisconsin would not lose its federal highway money. Current federal law, passed in 1984, says any state with a drinking age lower than 21 can lose 8

percent of federal highway funding. In Wisconsin, that would be a $53.7 million reduction this year alone — enough cash to buy about 6.7 million six-packs of Miller Lite. Despite the hurdles, the bill’s main sponsor said the idea deserves consideration. “At 19 years old, there are very few things that you cannot do,” said 38-year-old Rep. Adam Jarchow, of Balsam Lake, in a memo to colleagues seeking their support. Nineteen-year-olds have legally been an adult for one year, can enlist in the military and be sent thousands of miles away to fight, but can’t “enjoy an alcoholic beverage,” he said. Jarchow said he picked age 19 to make sure high school students aren’t drinking and “causing unnecessary distractions while still in school.” The bill also would save “countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars” enforcing drinking laws in the state, especially on college campuses, he said.

“Those efforts could be used for other important issues such as drug abuse and sexual assaults,” he said. Even though the drinking age has been 21 in Wisconsin since 1986, state law does permit a person younger than that to legally have a beer with their parents at a bar or restaurant. Wisconsin is also the only state in the country where first offense drunken driving is treated like a traffic offense and not a crime. Other co-sponsors of the bills are Republican Reps. Rob Swearingen, the owner of a northern Wisconsin supper club and past president of the Tavern League of Wisconsin, and Rep. Cindi Duchow, of Delafield. Republican Rep. Joel Kleefisch, who does not drink, said he supported the measure. “If you can sign up to give your life for this country,” Kleefisch said, “you ought to be able to have a beer.”

METH: CMA plans to reach more people too common here. “It’s like alcohol up here, a lot of people do it,” Thomas said. “It’s boring up here,” Bruss added. “It’s been in the area so long. It’s all (users) know.” Bruss started using when he was in high school. Shara’lanee’s mother was one of the first people to go through what is now known as drug court in the state.

county, to better reach everyone,” Bruss said. Bruss is very eager to start running some meetings himself. He knows it will help with his sobriety and recovery and he is already seeing and feeling the positives of getting involved. “I’ve heard from people all over Wisconsin and Minnesota about helping to stay sober,” Bruss said. “I’ve even heard from a few people in the Dakotas.”

Goals Staples-Skinaway said she has already reached out to 96 people this year. She plans on reaching over 100 by the end of the year. “Next year we want to double it and reach 200 people in the area,” Staples-Skinaway said. “We also want to be able to facilitate a meeting everyday of the week at different locations in the

Funding Staples-Skinaway has been planning sober activities for the group like going to Timbers Theater for a movie. But they lack funding and expanded their funding is a goal. “We don’t have a lot of money for sober activities,” Thomas said. “Funding is what we need.” Staples-Skinaway said she doesn’t quite understand why the

members don’t have money. “We all had money for the drugs, so you would think they would also have money to go to the movies now,” Staples-Skinaway said. The group has run into issues with their signs being taken down and ripped apart. Staples-Skinaway did not speculate as to who was disturbing the signs, but she did notice that some of the signs just had the word “meth” ripped off of them. “I chose to start the CMA meetings, due to being a crystal meth addict myself, and because for years I felt so terrible about myself,” Staples-Skinaway said. “Through continued support of family, friends, 3 sponsors, and the love of our creator, I feel strong today.” For more information call Shara’lanee’ Staples-Skinaway at 715319-1499, or visit crystalmeth.org.

help them,” Knowler said. “Whether it’s a gas card or food card we help people out whenever we can up to a certain amount.” Knowler explains that in the past they have donated money to students at Webster High School who need help paying for cap and gown costs before graduation. “This goes for any person at any time,” Knowler said. “If it fits with our plan we’ll do it. We just keep giving.” Somebody at the Thanksgiving celebration promptly recited part of The New Colossus, saying Knowler will take in the poor, tired and huddled masses. The line began forming around noon after a short prayer and 30 minutes later everyone was eating. While people were getting settled in with their meal, volunteers were going around pouring coffee, water and adding whip cream to bare pieces of pie. Honored Guests Keith Scherf of the American Legion made a speech in admiration of everything veterans do for our com-

munity and country. “We know it’s not just the veteran who serves, it’s their entire family who serves,” Scherf said. S. Sgt. Hemquist then spoke about the community’s giving spirit while overseas. “The care packages you all sent helped a lot. We received probably three boxes a week,” Hemquist said. “We would take what was leftover from the boxes and give them to people in Kobani, Syria. Those packages always put a smile on their faces.” Knowler then presented Deanne Mullner, manager of North Memorial Health Care, with the A&H garages first house-warming gift, a holiday wreath. “We appreciate all of you and your support,” Mullner said. “This outpouring of support has been phenomenal.” After everyone had their plates filled once, Knowler made one more speech. “Everyone should have seconds or have some more dessert,” she said. “We’ve got plenty of food and boxes, so feel free to take food home with you.” Sharon Knowler can be reached at 715-259-7205.

SIREN— A Siren woman is charged with disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and two counts of party to a crime. Sonya Morse and Kory Morse have both been charged with obstruction stemming from an incident on the night of Halloween. According to the criminal complaint, Morse’s son was questioned by police and admitted to throwing eggs at a house along with another boy from school.

Morse came to the school and said she was upset that her son was questioned by police at the school. She said her son felt intimidated by the situation. She added that her son could not have thrown the eggs because he was with her the entire evening. On Nov. 3 Chief Sybers went to Dollar General and obtained security video footage showing both boys buying three dozen eggs and two power drinks. The other boy was then questioned by police with his father and said that he and Morse’s son went

George Meyer, executive director of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, said he doubted many children under 10 will take up arms and head out in search of a deer. “It’s new, right before the season,” Meyer said. “People already have their hunting plans scheduled. But there will be some people, those who followed the bill. You surely will see some.” The federation opposed the bill because of the provision allowing student and mentor to each carry a weapon. Meyer said a mentor engaged in hunting won’t pay as much attention to the student. Jeri Bonavia is executive director of the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort, a group that works to end gun violence that registered against the bill. She said the law could create situations in which parents drive their children to the woods, help them out of their car seats then hand them a rifle. She said that’s not such an outlandish scenario since state law requires children as old as seven and eight to use car seats and booster seats. “Giving a firearm to a child when they can’t understand the consequences is just incredibly foolish,” she said. “I honestly don’t think there are a lot of Wisconsin moms and dads really pushing for this or desiring this, so I don’t know if it will be a very common practice. I certainly hope not.”

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

MADISON (AP)—Children of any age can hunt in Wisconsin starting Monday, after Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill that eliminates the state’s minimum age. Walker quietly signed the Republican bill Saturday, exactly a week before the state’s nine-day gun deer hunting season opens. The law went into effect Monday. Kids will have to wait five days before they can start shooting deer, but they can participate in several seasons already underway, including bow deer, pheasant, ruffed grouse, rabbit and squirrel. A Wisconsin resident must be at least 12 years old to purchase a hunting license or hunt with a gun. However, until now children as young as 10 could participate in a mentored hunt. That program allows the child to hunt with a mentor who is at least 18 and has gone through a hunter safety course or had military training if they’re younger than 44. The mentor and student could only have one gun between them, and they had to stay within arm’s reach of one another. The new law allows children of any age to participate in a mentored hunt and allows mentor and student to carry their own weapon. Thirty-four other states have no minimum hunting age. Several groups, including Whitetails

Unlimited and the National Rifle Association, registered in favor of the Wisconsin bill. The proposal still generated fierce opposition from minority Democrats and child safety advocates. Republicans pushed ahead anyway, saying parents should be allowed to decide whether their children are ready to kill an animal and that the measure will attract more children to hunting. Rep. Joel Kleefisch, an avid hunter and chairman of the Assembly Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage Committee, said Monday that he allowed his 11-year-old daughter to shoot a wild hog on a Michigan game preserve when she was eight. He proudly displayed a video of her squeezing the trigger and a photo of her standing next to the dead pig with her rifle. “This bill will allow responsible hunters to get kids off the couch and off the electronics and into the woods,” Kleefisch said. “There’s nothing more exciting than seeing the look on someone’s face when they harvest their first animal.” It’s unclear how many children under 10 may take to the woods over the next few weeks. State Department of Natural Resources James Dick said Monday that he didn’t have any data yet on how many mentored hunting licenses had been sold since the law took effect.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson opposes GOP Senate tax package WASHINGTON DCâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Stating the the plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfairly benefits corporations over other businesses,â&#x20AC;? Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson says he finds billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s process â&#x20AC;&#x153;offensiveâ&#x20AC;? according to stories this past week in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and the online web site Quartz. Johnson, a trained accountant and the founder of a family-owned manufacturing business, is the first Republican lawmaker to say he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote for the senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax bill as currently written. His complaint is that small businesses in the U.S donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough of a break, while big multinational companies would reap enormous benefits. At issue is how people who operate businesses as â&#x20AC;&#x153;pass-through entitiesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, they pass their business income on to their individual income tax

return â&#x20AC;&#x201C; should be taxed. Most American businesses are passthroughs, and about half of American workers are employed by them. The owners of these businesses range from small contractors and shopkeepers to white-collar professionals like doctors and lawyers, as well as owners of investment trusts or celebrities who are paid to endorse products. In the Senate bill, pass-through entities are allowed to deduct just over 17 percent of their business income, an effort to reduce the rate paid on business income to come closer to the 20 percent rate the bill sets for corporate income (down from the current 35 percent). This will still leave many passthroughs paying a far higher rate than corporations, however, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem: Why should Wal-Mart

pay a lower tax rate than your local hardware store? The problem becomes magnified by the ways that Senate Republicans make up for some of the costs of their plan. First, the tax cuts for individuals and pass-throughs alike expire in 2022, while the corporate tax cuts are permanent. Second, they eliminate the current deduction for state and local taxes for individuals. This would affect pass-through entities as well, while corporations can still deduct local levies as an operating expense. Johnson argues every business should become a pass-through entity, which would guarantee a level playing field, while also effectively eliminating business taxes. This would cost the U.S. government lots of revenue, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very unlikely to end up in the current bill.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet clear what would bring him on board, but it would likely be a bigger deduction for small businesses to bring them closer to the corporate rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way I want to block this,â&#x20AC;? he told the New York Times. The National Federation of Independent Businesses, a powerful lobby for pass-through entities, has endorsed the existing proposal, because it does represent a significant tax cut for its members. But Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition is a reminder that this billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest tax cut benefits a very specific sector of the economy: shareholders in large multinational companies who earn significant amounts of money outside of the United States.

Village board stays out of water issue GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Speaking for the Grantsburg Village Board, Village Clerk Patty Bjorklund said in an email Wednesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The village board will no longer be discussing anything regarding Frank Becvar property. The board sought advice from the village attorney, and he is fielding all correspondence regarding that issue.â&#x20AC;? Frank Becvar attended the Nov. 11 board meeting where the board dis-

cussed a letter from an attorney Becvar has hired, in which the attorney had asked the board to appoint a board member as its representative. For about two years, Becvar has attempted to engage the board to help solve the high water table issue at his home at 860 S Pine St in Grantsburg. When contacted about the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response, Becvar said he had no comment.

Easy-going Pastor Mike ‘kNOw Meth’ Burnett County SUBMITTED BY TAMMY HOPKE BURNETT COUNTY CST COORDINATOR

Past efforts to deter methamphetamine’s (meth) negative impacts in Wisconsin have mainly been through law enforcement and regulatory measures to control crimes associated with its use, trafficking and production. There is no doubt that with meth use there is a cost and consequence for the individual using it. What is frequently overlooked, however, is that the costs and consequences of using are not exclusive to the user. The impact on families, friends and communities make up what is referred to as the ripple effect. Within this ripple effect one can measure certain costs on agencies and organizations. In Wisconsin alone, meth is costing $424 million dollars for things such as, health care costs and lost productivity. In Burnett County, there have been months where the out-of-home placement for children removed from meth homes is as high as $70,000. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office has had 66 arrests to date this year for possession of meth. Note that this does not include arrests made by the municipal police departments, Tribal police or State Patrol. The amount of meth seized now totals 127.81 grams for the Sheriff’s Office in 2017. Unless you or someone you love has actually been addicted to meth and you have lived in the world of destruction of meth addiction, it is difficult to fully grasp the magnitude of the problems it causes. Many people diagnosed with a meth use problem who seek professional help are successful. They can change their lives and learn to live meth-free. In fact, the sooner a person gets help for his/her meth addiction, the better their chances of making a full recovery. Meth addiction is a difficult and complicated condition, but recovery is possible! You are not alone. If you or someone you care about is using meth you can call the Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services at 715-349-7600. They will be able to point you towards the resources that are available in the county and also what is available in the country. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

GRANTSBURG— Walking into the offices at Faith Lutheran Church there is a portrait of Jesus on the wall. He’s got his full beard and is standing in front of the sea with the biggest smile from ear to ear. It fits perfectly with their new pastor. Pastor Mike Peterson has been at Faith Lutheran since August. It’s the latest stop as he continues his calling as a temporary pastor for smaller ELCA churches. “It’s been good so far,” Peterson said. “I love the people and the area. They’ve both got plenty of

challenges.” According to Peterson, those challenges include an older congregation with less young people and less money. He joked before the interview about the financial troubles. “Glad to see you have your coat on, we don’t have heat in the offices right now,” Peterson said. Peterson grew up in Chetek, although he calls Sand Creek his hometown. As a kid he worked on his grandfathers farm. “He was in WWI and when he started the farm they used horses,” Peterson said. “I was like a lot of other kids, we worked on our family farm. It was common place.”

After graduating high school Peterson had plans to leave the church, but quickly found out that something bigger was pulling him back. “We always joke about that God’s got a plan,” Peterson said. “We’re working for God.” When Peterson was asked about his favorite verse from the bible he laughed. Then made the comparison of asking a kid in a candy store which is his favorite to eat and fearing to give the wrong response. “It’s probably the parable of the prodigal son, when he returns,” Peterson said. “I think of myself as the prodigal son, so that’s why it sticks with me as a personal favorite.” It’s the verse at the end of the story that he appreciates most. It’s announced that we have to celebrate, he was lost and now is found, he said. Peterson left the ministry for a time after his first wife lost a seven year battle with cancer. He came back to the church 12 years ago

when he began working in Fallun. He has since re-married and is continuing his call to do interim work for the church. “The congretions and buildings are getting old,” Peterson said. “It’s happening all over the place. The ELCA knows it and I’m going around and helping out with the changes.” Peterson has a deep interest in the history of agriculture and how much it has changed over the past 100 years. “Like I said, my grandfather used horses,” Peterson said. “Now farms have robotics. Those machines can keep track of over 800 cows and they do most of the work.” Peterson explores the future of the church in talks with his congregation. He said the church has been around for hundreds of years, there is no need to panic. “I know they have got hardships and plenty of challenges,” Peterson said. “The people know about them and they will get through it.”

WISCONSIN BRIEFING

FBI data shows hate crimes appeared to drop in Wisconsin MADISON (AP) — Hate crimes in Wisconsin appeared to decrease for the second straight year in 2016. The FBI released its 2016 hate crime statistics report Monday. Wisconsin reported 34 hate crimes last year. That’s down from 43 in 2015 and 51 in 2014. The bulk of the crimes in 2016 were motivated by the victim’s race or ethnicity. The yearly report is the most comprehensive accounting of hate crimes in the U.S. But authorities warn it’s incomplete, partly because it’s based on voluntary reporting by police agencies. The number of participating agencies also varies from year to year, so simple year-by-year comparisons are cautioned against. Wisconsin’s 2016 figures were reported by 18 — or roughly 4 percent — of a total of 414 agencies participating in the program statewide.

Efforts to aid monarch butterďŹ&#x201A;ies take off in Wisconsin

MADISON -- Wisconsin efforts to help conserve monarchs are taking off as the iconic butterflies fly to their wintering grounds in Mexico. The Department of Natural Resources recently learned its Natural Heritage Conservation program has won a $69,800 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to restore and enhance critical monarch butterfly habitat along the Mississippi River. The grant and matching funds contributed by NHC, county conservation departments and non-profit conservation groups totaling $109,785 will be used to restore and enhance 700 public and private acres at well-known places including Brady's Bluff Prairie State Natural Area in Perrot State Park and Hogback Prairie State Natural Area in Crawford County. "Monarchs have declined by 90 percent since the 1990s and need whatever help they can get from government agencies, private industries, universities, property owners, and volunteers," says Drew Feldkirchner, who leads DNR's Natural Heritage Conservation program. "We're excited this grant will help us restore habitat on the ground and advance our partnerships to help monarchs and many other species." Habitat loss throughout the monarch's breeding range, which includes Wisconsin, is considered the primary cause of the monarch population's crash, Feldkirchner says. Many Wisconsin organizations and individuals are taking steps to reduce the monarch's dramatic decline and increase its chances for future recovery, says Owen Boyle, Natural Heritage Conservation species management section chief. Other recent NHC monarch work includes: â&#x20AC;˘ Managing and restoring monarch and pollinator habitat on tens of thousands of acres, including numerous State Natural Areas. â&#x20AC;˘ Joining the Monarch Joint Venture, a partnership of more than 50 conservation, education, and research organizations from across the United States working together to conserve the monarch migration. Membership increases funding and networking opportunities. â&#x20AC;˘ Participating in a partnership with 15 other states to create a regional conservation plan for monarchs. â&#x20AC;˘ Co-organizing the Wisconsin Monarch Summit in May 2017 with the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, Pheasants Forever, Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, and Sand County Foundation. This day-long gathering brought together more than 60 stakeholders from government agencies, universities, conservation organizations, and the utility, transportation and agricultural sectors to lay the foundation for a statewide monarch conservation strategy for Wisconsin.

WISCONSIN DNR

Now is the time to plant native seeds that pollinators can depend on for food and shelter next year.

â&#x20AC;˘ Funding four monarch citizen science trainings throughout the state in 2017 with the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin and The Blue Mounds Area Project. Sixty-five volunteers were trained to collect information on monarchs, with more to come in 2018. Find more information about monarchs and other native pollinators and how you can help them on DNR's Native Pollinator webpage, as well as sign up to receive periodic email or text updates about monarchs. Visit dnr.wi.gov and search keyword "pollinators."

Plant seeds now to help monarchs and other pollinators next year As temperatures begin to drop throughout Wisconsin, state conservation biologists urge people to keep monarchs and other pollinators in mind by taking steps now to benefit pollinators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall is the perfect time of year to maintain habitat and plant native seeds that polli-

nators can depend on for food and shelter next year,â&#x20AC;? says Eva Lewandowski, a conservation biologist for the Department of Natural Resourcesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Natural Heritage Conservation program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While many of our butterflies, bees, and other native pollinators have migrated out of the state or hunkered down for the winter, we can still help them.â&#x20AC;? The seeds of most plants native to Wisconsin need to go through cold stratification, meaning a period of prolonged cold, to grow successfully in the spring. The simplest way to accomplish that is for the seeds to be planted in the fall and exposed to cold winter weather, Lewandowski says. By planting native seeds this fall, people will be creating habitat in the spring for species like the monarch butterfly and the endangered rusty patched bumble bee, she says. April through October is when most pollinators are active in Wisconsin, so planting native plants that bloom at different times can ensure that

food is available when the pollinators need it, says Jay Watson, NHC conservation biologist and insect expert. Native milkweed species are the only plants monarch caterpillars can eat, while adult monarchs can use a variety of nectar plants like

Joe-Pye-weed, coneflowers and asters. Wisconsin residents also can help pollinator populations by leaving some fallen leaves in place, rather than raking or leaf-blowing and then disposing of all the leaves, Watson says. Fallen leaves form a layer of leaf litter to house and protect pollinators during the winter. Some butterflies, bumble bees, and other beneficial pollinators burrow into the leaf litter or a few inches into the ground below it, and are insulated and sheltered until spring, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pollinators play a critical role in supporting our native landscapes, agricultural systems, and gardens,â&#x20AC;? Watson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landowners can help ensure they have food and shelter here in Wisconsin.â&#x20AC;? Find a list of native plant nurseries, guides to native plants, and other useful information by searching the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, for keyword, â&#x20AC;&#x153;pollinators,â&#x20AC;? where people also can sign up to receive periodic email or text updates about monarch or other pollinator conservation news in Wisconsin.

Sentinel’s All County Volleyball Team selected BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

It’s hard to believe the fall season of sports has come to an end and what a season it was. All three football teams moved on into the playoffs and the volleyball teams also did well. And thus it’s time for the All County Teams to be announced. This week we shall focus on the volleyball scene and next week we shall switch to the football spectrum. The Sentinel Sports Team got together and chose the following athletes for their All County Volleyball Team. From Grantsburg, we chose Kenna Johnson, Jenna McNally and Randi Siebenthal. Skyler Winkler was our selection from Webster, and Abby Kosloski was our pick from Siren. Kenna tallied 319 kills, 24 aces, 45 total blocks, 68 digs and 69 assists with a serving percentage of 90.7. Jenna was all over the court, according to observers, contributing greatly to the cause. She ended up with 39 kills, 51 aces, a whipping 439 digs, 19 assists and a serving percentage of 94.2. Randi’s season consisted of 201 kills, 51 assists, dug 315 times, had 10 assists and served at an 88.4 percent clip. “Every player plays a role and is valued for her contributions,” says Grantsburg coach Deb Johnson. “Volleyball is

the most ‘team’ sport there is since one or two people cannot carry a team. The reality is that without TEAM success, no one would succeed and the individual stats for most of our players are not exceptional. Totals don’t tell the story. It’s efficiency and accuracy that we use to assess our players.” Skyler complimented the MVP (hint, hint) by getting 84 kills, 14 aces, 13 blocks 248 digs and 12 blocks. “She was the heart of our team,” says Coach Stefanie Janssen. “She is always looking for a way to pick up her teammates.” Continuing, “She (Skyler) has stepped up and led a team composed of two seniors and 10 underclassmen in an exceptional way. She was a constant encourager who led by setting an example for ppositivity, drive and dedication.” Abby “is my go to leader on and off the court,” says Siren coach Kristin Kosloski. “She is a consistent all around player who comes through when we need it most. She has a hitting percentage of 29.8 percent with a total of 128 kills for the season. She is a great passer in the back row along with being a great blocker and hitter in the front row. Abby has a serving percentage of 80.1 percent and she also led the team in blocks.” The Sentinel’s Honorable Mention players are Charli Siebenthal (Grantsburg); Summer Winkler (Webster); with Amy Stanford and Julia Ceder-

berg from Siren. Charlie had 31 aces and a 91.4 percent rate, dug 141 times, and assisted 515 times. “Summer’s hitting percentage steadily improved throughout the season,” reports Coach Janssen. Summer’s season stats showed 177 kills, 19 aces, 158 digs and 20 total blocks. “Amy is my main setter,” stated Coach Kosloski, “who I could always count on to mix up the sets. She played on the right side of the front row and had a hitting percentage of 17.8 percent and a serving percentage of 94.3 percent.” Julia’s kill percentage is second on the team. Her serving was 92.9 for the season. “She also is big in the front row with hitting, tipping and blocking.” Our ‘Players to Watch’ list is longer this year and that is good as it give us an indication of what the upcoming volleyball seasons will hold. Olivia Ohnstad and Brooke Quimby are the choices from Grantsburg. Hannah McDowell, Brooke Hetfeld, Hannah Janssen and Emma Zmuda are the picks from Webster. Karlee Sybers is our selection from Siren. This year we do have a Most Valuable Player in our midst. According to Coach Janssen, “She is an exceptional all around player and four year varsity starter. She has stepped into a leadership role this year as a captain and puts

a lot of effort into making sure the team is working hard towards their goals. She has demonstrated her verstility as an all round player by playing outside hitter, middle and setter.” Stat wise, she had 357 kills this season, (over 1,000 in her career), 137 assists, 59 aces, 116 digs and 58 total blocks. Our Most Valuable Player this year is Taylor Howe of Webster. The ‘Coach of the Year’ recognition goes to Coach Stefanie Janssen of Webster. As was eluded to earlier, Webster had two seniors, two sophomores and eight freshmen on the varsity team. Coach Janssen did a masterful job of taking the talents of all these young ladies, inexperienced as many of them were, to form a very good squad which went into the playoffs, not that far from a State Tournament bid. The future of volleyball in Webster looks very bright. Congratulations goes to all the above mentioned athletes and Coach Janssen. Congratulations to all those who played volleyball this past season and were a part of the excitement and drama. Thank you, Coaches whether you are the head coach or an assistant, for the labor you invested into these ladies whether is was on or off the court. And thank you, parents and fans for your support. Your are greatly appreciated! Until next season ...

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

Let me tell you about the fabulous Tiff! She is a 14-month-old Staffordshire Terrier mix and a big bundle of love and joy who came to us as a stray. Tiff must have had a hard start to her life. She has been afraid of a few things, more than this young girl should be, but is coming around in leaps and bounds and learning to trust. All she needs is some positive encouragement and to know that she is safe, plus a little training for some puppy habits and Tiff would make the perfect companion. I have no doubt that she would be loyal to the end. Overall, she is one great dog with Lovable Tiff needs a home a lot of love to give and would flourish with receiving loving and a safe home. All of us at the shelter adore this girl and want nothing but the best for her. Tiff is in foster care and doing great, so if you would like to meet her please call the shelter to set an appointment. On the adoption side, Talulah, our 12-year-old cat, has been adopted. Still waiting are the kitten siblings Caleb, Cole and Carmen. Newly available is Wilma and her kitten, Pebbles. And don’t forget Lucky and Lee. On the dog side, Boris is still waiting as are Gus, Red and newly available Claudia, a 10-month-old St. Bernard mix. Remember when you adopt, you save the lives of two – the one you’ve CLASSIFIED adopted and the one you make room for at the shelter. Announcing our Second Annual Holiday Bake Sale, it was such a big success last year we felt we should do it again. It will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9 at the Shops at the Lodge in Siren. If you would like to help by donating baked goods to our fundraiser, please give the shelter a call. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to helping the animals. Hope to see you there! Quote: “Know that the same spark of life that is within you is within all of our animal friends. The desire to live is the same within all of us.” Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, Don’t Shop!”

If you are interested in adopting a cat or dog from The Humane Society of Burnett County shelter, please call (715) 866-4096 or visit the website at www.hsburnettcty. org.

And yet, this is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Will for us in Christ Jesus. Ask God to help you to Give Thanks in ev-

ery situation. As you begin to Give Thanks you will fine three things happening. First, you will change the way you feel about a situation. That in itself is healthier than those negative emotions. Second, by thanking God you are inviting Him into your circumstance. Third, when God is invited into your lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation He is given permission to do something about it.
