Undesignated funds to go toward paying debt BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—One would think adopting a $28 million dollar budget would garner all the attention, but that proved not to be the case during last week’s Burnett County Board of Supervisor meeting. The sticking point was the county’s discretionary funds — roughly $288,000.

To clarify the issue, the supervisors voted last year that any general fund balance above 25 percent of the previous year’s expenditure go into three separate funds — 40 percent to the highway fund, 40 percent to the capital equipment fund, and 20 percent in the general Fund to be listed as discretionary — or undesignated. Following the completion of the

2015 audit, the dispersed amounts were $576,218, $576,218, and $288,109 respectively. Then, in November of each year, following the approval of the next year’s budget, the county board reviews that undesignated amount to determine if any of it should be used for non-budgeted requests.

St. Croix Tribal adds second K-9 HERTEL—K-9 Reese, a golden retriever mix, became a member of the St. Croix Tribal Police department earlier in October. Trained by the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport Police, the two-yearold dog was certified immediately after coming to the department and is assigned to officer Donnie Holmes. Reese is trained in the detection of marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine and other controlled substances. K-9 Reese is an exceptional dog,” Chief Frank Taylor stated. “She has high drive and since we put her on duty, she has already uncovered numerous amounts of meth and marijuana.” Her latest seizure was a soccer-ball sized amount of marijuana detected in a vehicle the department had stopped for a traffic infraction. “Officer Holmes is excited to be

ment’s K-9 program and along with our other dog, Auggie, we have put together a pretty good team of K-9’s,” Taylor said. “Each day, we should have on duty and that will help us tremendously.” “Officer Holmes has already established himself in the program by continuously making drug arrests with the assistance of Reese,” the chief continued. Taylor said the department’s K-9 officers, Holmes and Caryn Krupa, are available to speak at any organization or school function. “One of our goals is to educate people as to what our dogs can do and to bring awareness that Burnett County and the surrounding areas have seen an increase in drug activity,” Taylor noted. “We want to talk about what you can do to help us and what services we have in law enforcement which can help you identify and combat the drugs in this county.

Headed for transplant Bone marrow match found for Grantsburg’s Mike Myers. BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—It has been almost three months since Mike Myers’ diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, but with a donor having been secured the family is moving forward. According to his wife, Lucy, Mike

has been home for most of the month of November. “Mike finished his latest chemotherapy treatment on Friday, Nov. 4,” Mike Myers she wrote in Myers’ Caring Bridge website. “After about a week, he had a bone marrow biopsy — the results of which showed a negative MRD.” That was good news.

“This means he is ready for a bone marrow transplant!” Lucy exclaimed. And fortunately, a donor has been located. “Mike will be receiving donor cells from cord blood,” she continued. “He had several (15 to 20) non-related donor matches as well as at least that many cord blood matches.” SEE TRANSPLANT, PAGE 7

No more funds for libraries

I don’t think it’s a big secret that I love libraries. The wife and I make a habit of visiting libraries when we are on vacation — not only is it a great way to stay in touch with the real world via computer, library staff generally know what is going on in a given community. Here at home, the library is like a second home for me — not that I’m there every day but I bet at least once a week. I live in Grantsburg so I obviously take advantage of what our library has to offer but my job takes me to or through Webster fairly routinely so I’ll stop at the Larsen Family Library too. I know both libraries increased their hours of operation this year Seems to in hopes of driving up circulation — because like enrollment at Me schools, circulation is what drives Todd Beckmann a library’s bottom line. So when the two public libraries in the county made a pitch to the Burnett County Board of Supervisors for extra funding earlier this year, I was paying attention. They needed the funds to help pay for those increased hours. Well, from where I sit, the request seemed to fall on deaf ears — it was like they had made up their collective mind before the pitch was made. The board took the plea under advisement but no changes to the 2017 budget were made. Then, like a reprieve from the Governor, once the county board approved the 2017 budget last week, they had $288,000 in discretionary funds leftover from the 2015 budget it could allocate. Since the libraries had approached the board regarding additional funding, they were first-up when it came to determining who the money would be allocated to. Like a small version of the election we just experienced, it was interesting to sit and listen to the supervisors passionately argue both sides of the case — and it’s such a polarizing issue. For the lack of a better word, the pro-library supervisors argued for a $5,000 one-time gift to each of the libraries — a total of $10,000. Now, I realize I’m not a financial savant, but $10 grand in a $28 million budget seems like small potatoes. But the con-library supervisors argued the board already meets the library obligation — funding the libraries at the rate set by the state, and when it comes to any extra funds, they weren’t in the habit of giving away hand-outs. Back-and-forth the argument went for about half an hour. There’d be a reasonable argument on why the allocation would be a good thing followed by an equally reasonable argument refuting the claim. Finally, like any responsible homeowner looking at his or her budget, the supervisors realized they had close to $10 million in debt and an argument was made that a big chunk of the discretionary funds should go toward that debt. It was an argument that won the day — by show of hands, the one-time gift of $10,000 to the libraries lost by a 7-8 vote. I was impressed the supervisors could passionately argue what they believed to be in the best interest of the people they represent and once the vote decided the issue — it was time to move on with the agenda with no residual effect from the vote. I would have preferred a different outcome but the action was a good example of stewardship — our elected officials doing the job we put them in office to do.

BURNETT COUNTY

Let’s bring them home You are receiving this week’s paper a day early, as print schedules shift to accommodate Thanksgiving on Thursday. Like many in the state and the nation, our offices will be closed on Thursday and Friday to allow our employees time to spend with their families. Employees will use a vacation day for Friday. From the Thanksgiving is a proud AmerPublisher’s ican holiday deDesk signed to be a day to reflect on Tom Stangl the many gifts and blessings we have and routinely take for granted. Some will enjoy a meal straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting — family gathered around the dinner table, faces beaming, ready to enjoy a bounty of food. At least that’s the ideal that many strive to achieve. Reality is quite another thing. Not all families are able to gather to enjoy a meal, others gather and allow old grudges or jealousies from the past to surface and ruin the gathering. For some, it is difficult not to revert to the past. I see you nodding your head out there. We all have so much to be grate-

ful for, we should be able to put petty differences aside and simply be in the moment and enjoy our blessings. Thanksgiving has traditionally meant nearly every business was closed so employees could enjoy time with family and friends. A few years ago, pressured by a sluggish economy, some retailers began opening their doors on Thanksgiving Day. Not content to open for a few bargains in the wee hours of Friday, a growing number of retailers kept pushing back opening hours until Thanksgiving was simply another business day. Some employees of these firms resisted working on Thanksgiving, others simply did their job. Jobs were not easy to find a few years ago. Last year, more voices began protesting firms being open on Thanksgiving. This year, some retailers have closed their doors on Thanksgiving, others are waiting to open until the evening. I salute the firms who are staying closed all day and they should receive credit and good will for doing the right thing. The rise and rapid expansion of online shopping is a factor in these decisions as well. Mega retailer Amazon began offering “Black Friday” prices earlier this month, choosing to spread the bargains throughout the month,

encouraging shoppers to return to the site on an hourly basis to see what was on sale. I believe the major brick and mortar retailers will eventually be forced to follow Amazon’s lead, which may take pressure off being open on Thanksgiving. The low price loss leader deals of “Black Friday” will probably not go away, but large retailers and their stockholders will eventually learn what works and what doesn’t. In the meantime, I believe the best course of action to help bring the people who work Thanksgiving Day home is to stay away from the stores. Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday, it would be a shame for American materialism to kill the day dedicated to being thankful for the blessings of family, health and so much more. So, do you think we could stay away from the madness for just one day? There are thousands of people who deserve the right to be at home on Thursday. Let’s take the first step to bring them home.

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.

Lumbering in the early days

The marking axe

The following comparison gives proof of what interested early lumbermen. It also tells us what the first settlers found on their 160 acre homesteads – stumps as large as six or more feet across among all the smaller, standing trees. A news item in the local paper telling of the earliest logging here, in the 1840s-50s, said each log passing down the St. Croix River averaged 500 board feet. The smallest log scaled 18 inches across. What a comparison with those here in 1887, when it took 7-8 logs to make 1,000 board feet!

With all the logs going down the St. Croix River in the early logging days, each logger had his own marking axe. These had a flat, steel mallet-like head imprinted with the owner’s insignia which could mark the end of the log for identification with a single blow. Journal & Sentinel, May 20, 1887 (Quoting Taylors Falls Journal)

Some lumberjacks brought the lice in, and soon the whole camp became infested. Art Wagenius told of one newcomer who was doing his laundry which included a suit of new woolen underwear. A quick dip in hot water, which was always available, would rid the clothes of lice. Instead of a quick dip, he left the underwear in the hot water until he finished his other laundry. Imagine his horror when he lifted it out with his dip stick, that it had shrunk to about a third of its original size. Eunice Kanne memories

This can be a bittersweet time, as we remember those who won’t be at our gatherings, but are in our hearts and minds at this time. Well, I guess we’re finally feeling the change in weather, and arrival of that nasty four-letter white stuff (snow). Just listen and you’ll hear them say it’s what we need for the “Opener!” Thus the conversation goes to deer hunting season. Ever notice how their eyes seem to light up when talking “Hunting?” At the woman’s table, sugges-

We picked up ideas over the weekend attending the many events kicking off the “Women’s Shopping Season!” Did I mention last weekend was the beginning of Wisconsin’s Hunting Season! And a lot of talk about that “30-point buck!” And that big one taken in Minnesota last week. See how that mind works? Every conversation comes back to hunting!

FUNDING: County board allocates $288,000 in undesignated funds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Because both the Larsen Family Public Library and the Grantsburg Public Library had approached the board earlier this year seeking additional funding but were turned down, they were first on the docket for some extra funding. LIBRARIES “Libraries are very important —especially in our area,” member Dorothy Richard observed. “In addition to all the items you can check out, their programs do provide direct service to its patrons.” She thought perhaps $5,000 per library as a one-time “gift” would be reasonable. “It’s impossible for them, the Grantsburg library in particular, to improve its marketing strategy to draw more patrons,” member Gary Lundberg countered. “I’m not in favor of giving them any more money — I’m not a fan of handouts.” He said it would be difficult, if not impossible, to draw Trade Lake residents who live closer to Frederic and may use that library rather than drive the extra miles to go to the Grantsburg Library. And that argument could be made for Town of Roosevelt residents and the Cumberland Library or Town of Webb Lake, Scott and Rusk residents who opt to use the Spooner Library rather than using the Larsen Family Public Library in Webster. “But the libraries are a benefit to the county,” member Brent Blomberg pointed out. Fellow board member Dale Dresel was not so easily swayed. “If these villages want to have libraries, they have to learn they have to pay their way,” he reasoned. “The county already pays its fair share to help keep them going.”

That fair share amounts to about $208,000 in the 2017 budget. Member Chuck Awe agreed that libraries are an important asset but thinks they are missing the bigger picture. “The trend is moving toward online books — so there’s less of a need for the brick-and-mortar buildings,” he said. “I don’t know if the library workers recognize that.” Even though Richard was only talking a one-time allocation of $10,000, member Jerry Pardun said the board needs to consider how such an allocation would impact the entire county. “Yes, they have wonderful services and if we have extra money, maybe we should consider it,” he remarked. But the extra money talk re-energized the board members who were against any additional allocation. “We are meeting our obligation as far as the libraries are concerned,” member Jeremy Gronski argued. “I’d love to give them more money because my family are big users of the library but between the towers and the highway shop, we have about $10 million in debt — we should look at that first.” Don Taylor, board chairman, weighed in on the matter as well. “There are sources out there the libraries haven’t tapped yet,” he explained. Taylor realized it was a divisive issue and would result in a close vote. In a show of hands, the motion to allocate $5,000 to the Larsen Family Library and $5,000 to the Grantsburg Public Library failed by a vote of 7-8. METH DIVERSION The allocation of $35,800 to the health and human services department was almost a foregone conclusion following the library debate.

With the methamphetamine crisis in full bloom, there was some question whether they couldn’t allocate more. “I think its an inadequate amount,” Awe mentioned. In addition to $8,000 for two sessions of “Raising a Thinking Child,” and $7,800 for 5th grade meth education within Burnett County, the remaining $20,000 will go toward creating a meth diversion program.

TOWER DEBT With a balance of roughly $250,000 remaining, the supervisors argued the merits of spending it or saving it. “I think we should hang on to it,” member Ed Peterson opined. “If our debts are okay, I agree with Mr. Peterson,” member Gene Olson said. Not realizing it had already been funded, Dresel said the highway fund could be bolstered. “I think we should put $125,000 to debt service,” Gronski declared. “It’s not huge, but it’s a start.” Awe agreed. “It’s our obligation to bring down our debt,” he realized. Member Duane Jonson was on board with that thinking. “The money should be applied to where we have the highest debt,” he reasoned. That turned out to be the communication towers. Since the current yearly principal payment on the towers is about $200,000, Dresel said the county should apply that amount. Nate Ehalt, county administrator, nodding his approval, said an additional payment would result in the county retiring the tower debt in the spring of 2023.

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

Theodora is the last of the three Wizard of Oz kittens I fostered for two months. These three were found at two weeks old and had to be fed formula till they were six weeks old. I was the third person to take turns fostering them, but got off easy because they were eating on their own by the time I got them. Oz and Glinda got adopted and poor Theodora is left waiting for her opportunity. She is not used to being without her brother and sister, so Theodora would like to find a home soon! I stopped by to visit her and Glinda (before Glinda was taken home) and they both remembered me and quickly greeted me at their condo door. I hadn’t seen them in this element before and they sat still for lots of cuddles. At my house, they had the entire porch/cat havRollo en to romp and play and they besieged me whenever I came into the porch - wanting to play and wrestle (not snuggle). The shelter is a different story with the hustle and bustle and noise of the other critters in the room, not to mention that they are confined to their cat condo. Although spacious, it’s not the same as my porch! Theodora has a beautiful, sleek black coat on her and is approximately three months-old now. All three Wizard of Oz kittens hold a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to know that they all are living happily ever after because “there’s no place like home!” Rollo is my current foster project, who waited patiently for his turn as I had four kittens ahead of him for foster care: Gisla, the lone kitten; and the Wizard of Oz kittens after Gisla. This fellow showed up at my house early in the summer because he heard rumor that I might feed him. It took my husband and I about five months to gain his trust and now he’s the sweet, gentle kitty I knew he could be. Rollo was just scared and his love for wet cat food over-took his fear of us and he finally let us pet him. Once we made that initial contact, he became friendly almost immediately. I never thought Rollo was a feral cat because he never hissed, growled or swatted at us; and he never strayed far from us either. Two weeks ago I put him in a carrier and off to the vet we went. I found out that Rollo is approximately eight years old. Age is just a number and eight for a cat is not even half of their possible lifespan of 15-20 years (depending on good preventative care) according to http://cats.about.com. Rollo loves attention. He walks around and around me when I’m sitting on the floor, rubbing up against me and in-between my arms and body to get both sides at once. He lets me put drops in his ears and clean his eyes, and was real good when being examined at the vet. I’m not saying he liked getting vetted; I’m just saying he tolerated it with no objections. I really love this guy and wished I could keep him but, as you all know because I’ve mentioned it before, I have my quota of animals (according to my husband, not law). The real reason I cannot add a cat to my household is that I have a house cat that is king of the castle and not welcoming at all to other cats. I am sure you will love Rollo as much as I do if you just give him a chance. Mark your calendars for our upcoming “Howliday” Bake Sale fundraiser on Saturday, December 10, at The Shops at The Lodge in Siren, WI, 7711 Park West Street. If you are interested in donating baked goods, contact the shelter and ask for Shelter Manager Cheri. If you are just interested in eating our baked goods, come to the Bake Sale! All proceeds benefit the shelter. If you are interested in adopting Theodora, Rollo, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www. hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (716) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

County taxes up for 2017 SIREN—The bottom line is county taxes will be increasing after the Burnett County Board of Supervisors approved the county’s $28 million 2017 annual budget earlier this month. All of the relevant numbers reflect an increase from the 2016 budget — the overall budget, the equalized value of the county, the levy and the resulting mill rate. The budget itself increased from $24 million to $28 million and the equalized value of the county,

which dropped $10,000 for the 2016 budget, jumped $76,000 for 2017 to $2,531,224,500. The levy, the amount charged to the county’s taxpayers to help fund the budget, rose from $9.3 million to $9.9 million. The biggest project driving that increase, a 7.3 percent increase from 2016, is the loan repayment for the new highway-forestry facility. For 2017, that repayment amount is $615,173. The resulting mill rate, which only inched ahead .96 percent for

the 2016 budget, is increasing a little over four percent for 2017. That’s an increase from $3.78 per $1,000 of property value for 2016 to $3.94 per $1,000 of property value for 2017. Said a different way, taxes for a taxpayer owning $100,000 in property will be $394.50 for the coming year. The supervisors unanimously approved the budget. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

Siren school gets loan for roof SIREN—”We are tired of reacting to the latest issue, whatever it might be, and we are trying to be more proactive,” Peggy Moore, Siren School Board president, said in reference to the school being awarded a $300,000 roof-repair loan from the state trust fund. She said the board is still considering options on fixing the roof — the loan is just one more option. The repair in question, about a third of the roof, covers some of the commons area as well as the band area. “We are trying to make the roof repair as least objectionable to the taxpayers as we can,” she continued. That’s why the board is doing its due diligence by shopping around for alternatives.

“Currently, the district does not have the budgeted funds available to pay for the entire project,” Kevin Shetler, district administrator, pointed out. “Therefore, financing is an option we have explored.” Moore said the board was approved for up to $300,000 — she said the board may use a portion of the loan or they may “No” to the loan altogether. “The district did receive some aid money at the end of the school year last year and we haven’t determined where that money is going,” Moore explained. Shetler agreed. “With some of the savings from the previous budget year, we may be able to finance a portion of the entire project and pay for a portion out of our budget,” he theorized.

That’s why getting the loan was important. “Securing the State Trust Fund Loan provides the school district with potential options,” he observed. Whatever decision is reached regarding the roof, Moore said the board has a plan moving forward. “We have hired UNESCO to do a survey for us,” she remarked. “We want them to look at all of our issues and all of our systems — and from the survey they’ll be able to tell us what we need and when we need to do it.” UNESCO is a program management firm which assists school districts with the revitalization, renovation and new construction of educational facilities. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

TRANSPLANT: Dec. to be a busy month for Myers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The break from the hospital routine has been a blessing — especially as the family looks ahead. “Mike has been home resting and regaining both strength and some weight,” Lucy pointed out. “We have had several trips to Regions for blood tests and meetings with our oncologist, Dr. McCormack, but Mike has been able to enjoy some restful days in between the trips.” She said that’s important. “Our current plan is to begin what is called ‘Work Up Week’ — five days of various tests, liver, kidney, heart function and some others,” Lucy explained. “He had three days last week and will finish the last two after Thanksgiving break. “ If the results are all good, the family will wait for the

University of Minnesota to set the transplant date. “Before the actual transplant, Mike will have the ‘conditioning regimen’ lasting eight to nine days,” she added. “The regimen calls for more chemotherapy and radiation — this is done to destroy any remaining diseased cells.” That will lead into a busy December. “The transplant marks Day Zero and thereafter the count continues to Day 100,” Lucy remarked. “Mike will be in the hospital two to four weeks and after that, he will be in an apartment close to the university with a caregiver as he recovers from the transplant.” Other than that, she’s kind of hazy on the whole procedure. “We do not yet know many of the details of the transplant and the 100 days,” she commented.

NEWSLINE Reservations are now open for 2016 ‘Holiday Indulgence’ GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg High School Music Department is taking reservations for the “Holiday Indulgence,” an event that has become a holiday tradition. The annual Christmas concert will be presented in the style of dinner theater, with almost two hours of music and dining available to ticket holders. Performances are Saturday, December 17 at 6 p.m., and again Sunday, December 18 at 3 p.m. at the high school. The music department will transform the gym into a festive performance site.

This performance has been a big hit with audiences and performers the last 10 years, with people saying it really brings them into the holiday mood. It is also a performance fundraiser for the music department, with the money raised going to help with trip expenses. Anyone interested can call Grantsburg HS (4635165, extension #202) to place a reservation.

Victims confront Barnard at sentencing BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYPIONEER.COM

CHARGES, MANHUNT AND ARREST When some adult members began questioning his actions, Barnard moved his family and the church to the state of Washington. A number of his followers, including Maidens, left with him in 2009. A young woman who had been Barnardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victim first reported her story to the Pine County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in 2012, and the investigation began. A second witness came forward with a similar story of being repeatedly sexually abused as a teen by Barnard. Once charges were filed against him in 2014, it set off a national and international manhunt, but attempts to find and arrest him in Washington state came up empty. The hunt for Barnard intensified in November 2014, when the U.S. Marshals Service added him to its 15 Most Wanted fugitive list and offered a $25,000 reward. At that time, the U.S. Marshals reported that Barnard may have left the country. Barnard was arrested in Brazil on Feb. 27, 2015. Through the Brazilian court system, he at first fought attempts to extradite him to the United States. At that time, a lawyer said that extradition may take up to three years. According to Brazilian news reports, Barnard was placed in the intensive care unit of a regional hospital on Nov. 13, 2015, after a suicide attempt. Following that incident, Barnard began to negotiate terms of extradition, leading to his return to Pine County on June 18.

PINE CITY, Minn.â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Self-proclaimed pastor Victor Barnard, 55, who pleaded guilty to two counts of felony first-degree sexual conduct on Oct. 11, faced his victims in Pine County Court on Oct. 30 as he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. VICTIMS SPEAK OUT The two women who originally came forward to speak to law enforcement about Barnard described to the court what his years of abuse had done to them. Jess Schlinsky was the youngest of the 10 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maidensâ&#x20AC;? who Barnard brought to live with him in the house known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lodge,â&#x20AC;? with her parents full permission, back in 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was 36 days from being 13,â&#x20AC;? Schlinsky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victor Barnard pushed and pressured me. I had been raised to revere him as a leader. I was afraid of making him angry. He stole my innocence, my childhood and my virginity.â&#x20AC;? She said that Barnard compared himself to Paul and Jesus. Meanwhile, he sexually abused her and other girls in the Lodge for the next eight years Schlinsky said that when she left, she was shunned by everyone she knew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lost the people who became my family,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt hated and alone.â&#x20AC;? Since she left, she has dealt with psychological issues and depression, but is doing her best to build a new life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family has been torn apart by what happened,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am affected every day by his sexual, emotional, verbal and physical abuse. What Victor Barnard has done has affected every part of my life.â&#x20AC;? Lindsay Tornambe also spoke out about what Barnard did to her and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said it was a way of showing Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love,â&#x20AC;? Tornambe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember how much it hurt.â&#x20AC;? She said that she will never understand why her parents gave her to Barnard as one of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maidens.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lost my identity,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents sold me like cheap property to a narcissistic predator.â&#x20AC;? She said that despite the trauma she went through, she now feels strong and supported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can see now I am not alone,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to see [Barnard] as powerful. He is a man who hurts children... a sex offender â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pathetic and cowardly. I was a child he could not break. I finally get my justice.â&#x20AC;? SHEPHERDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CAMP As previously reported, in 2000 Barnard took over a large camp site near Finlayson, Minn., where he installed a church he called River Road Fellowship and brought in followers from across the United States.

In July 2000, Barnard set up a group of young females who were referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alamothâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Maidens Group.â&#x20AC;? One girl â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who would later witness against Barnard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was invited to join Alamoth and live at a separate dwelling on the property called the Lodge. She and her father thought that this was a summer camp and she decided to go. She was 13. She would stay in Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Camp for the next eight years. Nine other females, ages 12 to 24, also moved to Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Camp that July. Barnard taught them that he represented Jesus Christ to them. Barnard moved into the Lodge. He told the congregation he was dedicating himself to God. Over the following years he sexually abused his victims multiple times.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Walker takes lead of GOP governors group MADISON, Wis. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gov. Scott Walker takes over this week as the new chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Walker said he sees an uncommon opportunity in Washington with unified Republican control of Congress and the White House for GOP governors to push their wish lists. He's hoping responsibilities for education, transportation and Medicaid can be pushed back to the states. There will be more Republican governors, with 33 states, than at any time since the 1920s. There will be two races for governor during Walker's 2017 term. But, he will also be laying the groundwork for 38 races for governor in 2018, the Journal Sentinel reported. In 2018, many of the GOP governors will be running

at a time when their political party â&#x20AC;&#x153;ownsâ&#x20AC;? Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, we've got a lot of incumbents, and a lot of currently held seats that we need to hold. But, I think the results on Tuesday bode well,â&#x20AC;? said Walker. According to Walker, the fate of the Republican party will be determined by the first two years of Republican control in Washington and the policies the party enacts at the federal level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the policy works, I think (our) governors are in a great position. If for some reason, they just fall apart, which I don't think they will, obviously that would make it much more difficult,â&#x20AC;? he said. GOP governors were scheduled to meet with Vice President-elect Mike Pence Monday night in Orlando.

SPOONER—Regional Hospice Services is honoring National Hospice and Palliative Care month, which is designated to raising awareness about the highest quality of care for all people coping with a life-limiting illness. The goal of hospice care is to treat the person instead of the disease. Hospice is a model that provides compassionate care at the end of life. It involves a team-oriented approach to care that includes expert medical care, pain and symptom management, as well as emotional and spiritual support. All care is expressly tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes. Hospice and Palliative Care combines medical care with the emotional and spiritual support that families need most when facing a serious or terminal illness. While Palliative Care offers comfort and support earlier in the course of a serious illness, Hospice brings patients and family caregivers compassionate care and support when a cure is not possible. Palliative Care and Hospice can help people live each moment of life to the fullest. “One of the things that Hospice and Palliative care professionals hear from families again and again is, ‘Why didn’t we learn about Hospice services earlier?’” said Lynda Anderson, executive director for Regional Hospice Services. “The best time to learn about Hospice or Palliative Care is before you are facing a medical crisis.” Regional Hospice Services provides care in the home, hospital, long term care or residential facility, or wherever the patient calls home for those facing a terminal illness. Regional Hospice works with the patient to enable families to remain together, focusing on comfort and quality. Nationally, Hospice delivers care to more than 1.65 million people each year. “Using a platform such as National Hospice and Palliative Care month, we can grow a greater awareness, a better understanding of options and foster open dialogue in hopes to bring quality hospice care to more people who need the support of our services,” Anderson said. Regional Hospice Services is a non-profit, community based, program committed to providing compassionate care to those in our local communities since 1991. To learn more about Regional Hospice and Palliative Care, visit www.regionalhospice.org or call the hospice office at (715) 635-9077.

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE BURNETT COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Burnett County is currently developing a countywide All-Hazards Mitigation Plan.

GRANTSBURG—What a great season of football we’ve had this year in Burnett County! Siren and Grantsburg moved on in their respective playoffs. Webster began their campaign under a new coach and spent time adjusting, but made improvements as the season went by. The All County Team that was selected encompasses players who more than likely played on both offense and defense, so it was hard to choose an offensive and defensive team to represent the three schools. The Sentinel Sports team looked for performances on both sides of the ball as well as their importance to their respective teams. So here we go with the 2016 Burnett All County First Team. From Webster, we chose Simeon Wilson and Trevor Gustafson. Simeon played in the line on the offense and was linebacker on defense. He recorded 71 tackles from his position and recovered a fumble. Simeon was named to the Lakeland Conference Second Team. Trevor was the signal caller on the offense for the Tigers. He was 57 for 107 in passing for 459 yards and four touchdowns. He rushed for 86 yards. On defense, he recorded two interceptions with 30 tackles. He was selected to the Lakeland Conference Honorable Mention team. Chosen from Siren were Brady Mangen, Bailey Mangen and Sequoia Bellanger. Brady rushed 324 times for 2,161 yards and 33 touchdowns. He also was four for six passing, good for 25 yards and a touchdown. On the defense, he was a vital contributor for the Dragons as a defensive lineman. Brady was selected as a member of the Lakeland Conference Eight Man Football Offense First Team. Bailey Mangen was the main blocker for brother Brady, enabling his sibling to make the runs possible. Bailey recorded 11 receptions for 122 yards and five touchdowns. He also made three two-point opportunities. He, too, was an important cog in the Siren defensive scheme. Bailey was selected as a member of the Lakeland Conference Eight Man Football Offense First Team. Sequoia Bellanger was an awesome sight on both the offensive and defensive lines, making opposing linemen fear his presence. He was named to the Lakeland Conference Eight Man Football Defense First team. Grantsburg First Team members were Dakota Schultz, Avery Fagerberg, Hauk Moritz, Tanner Berger, Austin Bowman and Leo Chenal. On the offense, Dakota was used as a quarterback or running back. In passing, he was 72 for 112, good for 1,039 yards and five touchdowns. As a rusher, he ran 94 times for 393 yards and six touchdowns. He caught seven passes for 97 yards, good for one score. Defensively, Dakota was an outside linebacker. He amassed 53 total tackles, seven tackles for losses with a fumble recovery. Dakota was named to First Team Lakeland Conference quarterback and outside linebacker. Avery Fagerberg played at the quarterback, running back, kicker and linebacker positions. He was 28 for 53 passing for a total of 323 yards and three touchdowns. Avery rushed 77 times for 451 yards and 12 scores. He

caught 16 passes for 244 yards. As a kicker, he punted 23 times for 765 yards, a 33.3 yard average. He was seven for 12 in field goals and made 47 extra points-after-touchdown scores. Defensively, he made 81 total tackles, seven for losses. Avery was named to the First Team Lakeland Conference as kicker and outside linebacker and also an All State Kicker nominee.

Thanksgiving ideas Are you going through a hard time? Maybe you are sick, or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford a turkey, or someone has done you wrong. Maybe you are under a pile of problems. Are you having trouble finding the Thanksgiving spirit? Maybe this story will help you find it: A man once stole Matthew Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallet. Reflecting on the incident, Henry said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One, I am thankful that he never robbed me

before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two, I am thankful that although he took my wallet, he did not take my life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three, although he took all I had, it was not much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four, I am glad that it was I who was robbed, not I who did the robbing.â&#x20AC;? What a great attitude of gratitude! It would have been easy to complain and feel sorry

for himself. He found things for which to be thankful, and experienced joy and peace. Most of us have special people for whom we are thankful. How about being thankful for God Himself? How about being thankful for Jesus our Savior? On Thanksgiving and every day, may your soul feast on the good gifts of God, even in difficulties!

Why travel when you can shop local? The best looking stew on TV Saturday’ better is if it was the first part of November,” Strabel reasoned. “That way, it wouldn’t be tied in with Black Friday and Cyber Monday.” Customers to the Fashion Rack will enjoy door-busters during Holly Jolly Days, both Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, plus the first customers on Saturday will receive ‘shop local’ tote bags.

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Like she has in past years, Peggy Strabel of Peggy’s Fashion Rack in Siren is leading the charge in the Small Business Saturday-Shop Local campaign in Burnett County. But instead of going it alone or with just a few others taking part, the Siren Chamber of Commerce, at Strabel’s urging, has gotten almost two dozen of Siren’s businesses to sign up as participating members. In addition to the Fashion Rack, participating stores include The Shops at the Lodge, Big Mike’s, The Pet Store, Yah Butz, Jenneman’s and Yourchuck’s, Ben Franklin/Radio Shack and Distinct Pawn and Gift to name a few. Participating stores will be prominently displaying the ‘Shop Local” poster. “This has been my goal,” Strabel said of the businesses signed up for the day. “I’d like to see the whole county get on board — there’s no reason Webster and Grantsburg can’t be doing this as well.” She said hosting a Small Business Saturday event would be one way to keep local businesses meaningful. “We have great customer service right here and we have prices that rival the big box stores,” Strabel continued. So why is Strabel such an advocate for Saturday’s event? “Because I am a small business,” she said simply. “I want to succeed and I want all the other businesses in town to succeed.” Even this newspaper helps with Small Business Saturday. “The ‘Shop Local’ card is the best promotion the Sentinel does,” she declared. “I ask every customer if they have their card and if they don’t, we get one started for them — in fact, customers of mine have won the $500 shopping spree in two of the last three promotions.” She said it’s more than just Saturday. “You can ‘Shop Small’ everyday — not just one day a year,” Strabel remarked. Small Business Saturday, along with Black Friday, have begun a new tradition of kicking off the Christmas shopping season. “The only thing that would make ‘Small Business

Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus

When I was little kid, I loved watching Little House on the Prairie after school. The story line almost always had a good ending and the star, Laura Ingalls, would manage to get in some kind of trouble that was entertaining to watch and see how she would get out of it. Cooking then must have been very difficult. I am very thankful for stoves and ovens—my family wouldn’t be eating like they do now. Most people didn’t have a stove but cooked over an open wood fire in a fireplace. This is how the program showed Ma cooking. It looked like most of the time Ma made stew, which made me drool. Stew is a perfect fall meal. Root vegetables are in season and it is nice and warm on cold fall days.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Assembly Republicans pick Vos, Steineke as leaders again MADISON (AP) — Assembly Republicans basked in the glow of their massive election victories Monday, giving each other standing ovations and selecting the architects of their campaigns as their leaders again heading into the next legislative session. Republicans went into Election Day with a 63-36 advantage in the Assembly. They came out of with a 64-35 edge, their largest majority since 1957. Republicans also maintained control of the Senate in the elections. Along with Gov. Scott Walker, the GOP has complete control of state government for the next two years. On Monday afternoon Assembly Republicans held a post-election meeting to elect their leaders. Rep. John Murtha,

the caucus chairman, banged the gavel and began the proceedings with “Welcome, all you good Republicans.” That triggered a standing ovation and cheers. Speaker Robin Vos elicited more cheers when he announced the Republicans had the biggest majority in the chamber in more than 50 years. Vos, a Rochester Republican who has served as speaker for the last two sessions, was the mastermind behind the Assembly Republicans campaigns. Republicans elected him as speaker on a unanimous voice vote Monday. Things were a little rockier for Vos’ second-in-command, Majority Leader Jim Steineke, who faced a challenge from Rep. Kevin Petersen of Waupaca. In the end, Republicans voted by secret ballot to keep Steineke in place for another session.

Global day of giving takes place this year on November 29 FREDERIC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; November 17, 2016 local organizations join #GivingTuesday, a global giving movement that has been driven by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in all 50 states and in countries around the world. Since its founding in 2012, millions of people have come together to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live. After three days for celebrating great deals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; #GivingTuesday is a day for giving back. In dozens of towns, cities, and regions of the state people are embracing this day as an opportunity to raise money for local nonprofits, churches, schools, and groups like the Lions Club and Rotary; run food and clothing drives;

teach children about philanthropy; encourage acts of kindness; collaborate with their neighbors; and celebrate generosity. In 2015, nonprofits raised more than $117 million online on #GivingTuesday to help make the world a better place in countless ways. Much more was generated offline and through donations of time and other resources. People participated in #GivingTuesday activities in around the world and in our own communities. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to participate in #GivingTuesday, do so by donating directly to any charity youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to support. There are many worthy causes in our area from food shelves and churches to the arts. Find one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in and reach out. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure who to support, consider giving to a commu-

nity foundation. One of the new cornerstones of giving in our community is the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation (NACF). The community foundation is

a powerful way to make a difference, from big to small everyday gifts. SEE GIVING TUESDAY, PAGE 28
