School board learns about trip JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Although the Blue Line club is asking all the schools who have players on the Blizzard for funds so the parents aren’t covering the entire cost. “We aren’t in a conference,” said Grantsburg Athletic
EduClimber Patricia Bergman, reading resource teacher for the Grantsburg school district, explained to the board what EduClimber is and how it is helping the school staff. EduClimber is a cloud-based data system made and used by educators. “It’s a program analysis and we can perform almost any kind of assessment on the school,” Bergman said. The program can track entire grade proficiencies in reading and math, students attendance and disciplinary actions. It automatically plugs in data from the Wisconsin Department of Public instruction. “This is a process that takes 2 seconds and it used to take me weeks to put these spreadsheets together,” Bergman said. The program also allows staff to track individual students and their progress throughout the school year.

Beatles vs. Stones I understand there are pressing issues and people can’t seem to agree on anything, but I don’t know anything about President Trump’s trip to Asia. So I’m going back in time to some 30 years before I was born. As a student of history, this is a subject I’ve studied since I was about 10. The Beatles invaded America seven months before the Rolling Stone and this is where we begin. Ed Sullivan famously invited the fab four to New York City and 73 million people saw it. Legend has it their were even less criminals on the streets that night because even they could not miss such a Sentinel momentous occasion. “I Want to Hold Your Hand” has Editor been described as an explosion Jonathan Richie of joy, was released three months prior and the following year they released a movie. The Beatles heyday didn’t really end until 1969 or ‘70 depending on how you view Led Zeppelin. The Stones came on the scene and were marketed as the antithesis of John, Paul, George and Ringo. Mick and Keith were in this group of bad boys, but they were playing blues tunes by Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters. Two years later this group Cream (Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce) came out of England and they perfected blues rock. And to paraphrase Ginger Baker – The Rolling Stones were five white boys that tried really hard to play the blues, but never really got it. Baker has also said Charlie Watts is by far the best musician in the group. The Rolling Stones saw the the mind-boggling success of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and they hopped on the bandwagon with Their Satanic Majesties Request. Now I don’t hate it, but plenty of people did. Following The Beatles inevitable destruction, The Rolling Stones hit their stride entering one of history’s great creative runs in popular music from 1968-’74. But that came to a screeching halt when Mick Taylor left and they brought in Ronnie Wood. Similar creative runs include Miles Davis ‘55-’63 , The Beatles ‘65-’70, Stevie Wonder ‘72-’77. In conclusion, The Beatles are better because they hit their great creative run almost immediately and progressed with every release then imploded. The Rolling Stones should be enjoying some sort of retirement. Yes, it boils down to retirement for me and that The Beatles made four movies. Also, it should be pointed out both of these groups among others including Elvis borrowed/ influenced by or some might go so far as stole from the godfathers of rock ‘n’ roll like Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Little Richard. Lastly, next week is all about Thanksgiving, well at least for me it is. It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Still delivering Every now and then, I am struck by the love/hate relationship that exists with all media, even newspapers as small as this one. In an era of partisan and divisive opinions masquerading as “news,” it has become increasingly difficult to know who to trust. The continuous flow of information online and with more people living their lives inside their own social media “bubble,” the problem From the Publisher’s becomes even more pronounced. Desk So, who can you trust? Tom Stangl I’d like to make a case ffor your h hometown paper. We are members of the National Newspaper Association (NNA), a trade organization that helps keep us up to date on legislation and provides the amplification of a group voice when it comes to dealing with vendors as well as Washington. The NNA recently conducted a national readership survey, and the results are eye-opening. Over half of the respondents who read their community newspaper, 54 percent, said they trust their newspaper more than any other news source. An overwhelming majority, 76 percent, said their community newspaper really un-
derstands things that are important to them. When it comes to knowing what’s happening locally, the community newspaper is the primary source, according to the survey respondents. The community newspaper beats TV, radio and internet as the number one source for local news as well as local shopping and advertising information. Fifty-six percent of the respondents said they read a print newspaper that covers their community specifically. Four percent read their local paper online only, and 7 percent read it online and in print, bringing the total to 68 percent who read a local paper. Nearly a third of respondents, 30 percent, have been reading their local newspaper for more than 30 years. The survey highlights the loyalty readers have for their local newspapers. Another 18 percent have been reading their hometown paper for over 20 years but less than 30. The loyalty that has been built is based on results, relevancy and trust. Eighty-four percent said they read their local paper for local news, information and obituaries. And when people like something, they want others to know. Sharing of newspapers is still extremely popular. Over eight out of 10 readers of a community paper share it with one or more people.

Twelve percent share it with at least two people, 10 percent share it with three people, 6 percent share it with at least four people and 8 percent share it with five or more people. Survey respondents expressed a great interest in their local communities. More than half, 61 percent, read their local paper for school news somewhat often to very often. Forty-six percent read it for local sports somewhat often to very often. And 60 percent read their local paper for the editorials or letters to the editor somewhat often to very often.

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875.

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.

Debating ‘America’s Dairyland’ until the cows come home BY WISPOLITICS.COM
The outsider image of Wisconsin often comes down to cheese, milk and bucolic dairy farms. Is being known as “America’s Dairyland” a good thing for the Wisconsin economy? A debate is playing out in Madison on that very topic. It started on Oct. 16, when Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce President and CEO Kurt Bauer suggested “America’s Dairyland” should be removed from Wisconsin’s license plates and replaced with something more contemporary like “Forward.” Bauer made the suggestion at WMC’s fifth annual State of Wisconsin Business & Industry Luncheon in Madison, saying this replacement “connotes resolve, indomitability and progress.” “It’s our state motto – has been since about 170 years ago – and it’s not a bad image to project to the rest of the world,” he said. But he said people outside the state hold misperceptions about Wisconsin jobs, namely that they are largely agriculture-dominated. Bauer said the move would help the state improve its economic brand. And, he said, the arrival of the Taiwanese technology company Foxconn in Mount Pleasant would also help in the effort. “Foxconn can help us change that misperception by highlighting the diversity of jobs we have in technology, manufacturing, health care, biotech, education and the professional trades, just to name a few,” Bauer said. Then a couple of weeks later came a bill from GOP Rep. Scott Allen, to require the Department of Transportation to open an art contest for high school students to redesign the license plate, with Gov. Scott Walker selecting the winning entry. The Waukesha Republican in an email to fellow lawmakers wrote that although the state is “proud of our heritage as ‘America’s Dairyland,’” the state needs “to communicate to the nation that Wisconsin is so
much more.” He also cited the state economy’s “remarkable transformation from rural to urban, from agriculture to bioengineering and high-tech manufacturing,” saying those sectors, as well as Foxconn, the biotech industry and others “will all contribute to Wisconsin’s economic future.” “License plates should reflect who we are, not who we were,” he wrote. “Our national advertisement should reflect where we are going as a state and not where we have been.”

But the suggestions are running into fierce opposition from representatives in the state’s dairy industry. State Dairy Business Association President Mike North reacted strongly to Bauer, defending “the dairy community’s continuing contribution to the culture and economy” of Wisconsin. “The dairy community – with its hard-working farm families, cheesemakers and host of other supporting businesses – has been the backbone of this state for well over a century,” he said. “That heritage, and how far we have come, should be great sources of pride. Those are things to be celebrated, not hidden.” And then the DBA, in reaction to Allen’s bill, fired off a round of letters to state lawmakers in opposition to what he called an “ill-conceived” bill. In the letter, North, though, wrote that the state’s “strength in dairy, agriculture and food processing provide one of the best opportunities to grow our modern economy.” And he defended the state’s association with dairy and cheese, writing that “people struggle to associate anything with most states.” “We have a brand,” he wrote. “It is viewed positively by the overwhelming majority of people. We have spent more than a century and a lot of effort and money to create this brand. It does not make sense to back away from it.”

Siren listens to Chief
Wireless contract mulled in Webster
Village board discusses amount of police cases JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
SIREN— The Siren Village board met last week, discussing many village topics. But there was a large focus on the amount of cases Siren Police Department is handling annually.
Police Report Chief of Police Chris Sybers began his police report for the month by reading off how many cases they have had per month throughout 2017. The months of May and Oct. both saw the climax at 73 cases. “Before this year, 2014 was our biggest year since I’ve been in charge with 696 or 698 cases,” Sybers said. “We will surpass that this year if we have 50 cases in each of these last two months.” According to Sybers, the department has already had 586 cases in 2017. January, which saw only 17 cases, was the only month this year that did not exceed 50 cases being worked by the department. “If we didn’t have Trevor, I’d be in a mental house,” Sybers said. Sybers referenced the four students treated for overdose at Siren school last month and other incidents occurring at the school this past year. He reiterated his point made at the school board meeting last month. “I’ve avoided using that word,” Sybers said of a liaison officer. “I’ve asked (the school board) to put some type of proposal together. They want a dollar amount and plan.” Trustee Rick Engstrom, suggested the village should look to the past to solve these problems instead of looking toward the future. He said, we know what worked before. “When I was at Siren school, I’m sure if there was an officer at the door we wouldn’t have
brought anything,” said village president Dave Alden. “Whether it was a knife or cigarettes.” David Doty Sr. village trustee, then added that it wasn’t 1978 anymore. “If they see Sybers (or another uniformed officer) in the hallways there are certain kids that don’t look him in the eye,” Doty said. “That would be an improvement itself.”
WEBSTER— The Webster village board meeting began with a brief discussion on the 2018 budget and was passed unanimously. Webster Police Chief, Mike Spafford, took a few moments to talk about how the department re-arranges it’s schedule during the hunting season and as the holidays roll in. He also added a side note. “Meth heads don’t have a schedule,” Spafford said. “Sunday through Monday night are no longer quiet.”
Siren Lioness Clock
Mobilitie
The Siren Lioness Club is disbanding on May 1 of next year. They would like to buy and display a victorian-style clock somewhere in the village. “The Lioness club would like to put this up, and I don’t have any problem with it,” Alden said. “They’ll take care of the cost of laying cement and everything.” Doty said the Lioness club have been good allies to the village and approving this is just a matter of where to put it. Jan Hunter added that in March the board could meet with the lioness about the details. The clock would take six to eight weeks to arrive after ordering.
Mobilitie describes themselves on their website as a provider of complete wireless solutions. The company is currently in talks with the village to be added to an already existing tower. Representing Mobilitie at the meeting was Ryan Streff. He outlined what was in the contract. “It’s basic, the terms are in there along with the rent and it has been reviewed by the village attorney,” Streff said. The contract would be for five years and could be renewed up to five times all for five year periods.

The board also approved the renewal of the 2018 health insurance with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield at 9.1 percent. GIS mapping system will be switched over to an ArcGIS cloud-based program. A one-time fee of $6,000 would move the system to the cloud and the village would pay $1,800 annually for the service. The board discussed and came to no conclusion on a new cell phone 120 foot cell phone tower that would be put up by Mobilitie.

Invitations
Village board members wanted to make sure they could back out of the deal if they wanted to for any reason in the future. “That is certainly something we can look into,” Streff said. “We can add a condition of a land survey and other concerns as a condition of the contract.” “We have 30 days if we want to take action and Mobilitie has no problem with that?” chairperson Charlie Weis asked of Streff. Streff responded saying that they will work together and resolve any issue together for these negotiations. The discussion ended with Streff saying the company would pay for the Webster attorney to review the contract. • The board discussed continuing the police liaison officer program at Webster High School. • There was a discussion on who is in charge of paying water and sewer fees on condemned properties in the village. • The board also began talks about opening up roads to ATVs and the signage that the village would have to pay for. • Trick or treating went well in the village. Although the village had to bring in portable toilets due to fears that the existing ones might freeze.

Italian restaurant to open next week BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—A new restaurant featuring Italian food plans to open Tuesday, Nov. 21 in the Gateway Plaza on State Road 70 in Grantsburg in the former “Pizza Place” location. The new restaurant is called “Mia Mangia,” which in Italian means “my eats” or “my treats.” New owner Gerry Ensign has resided in the Big Wood Lake area east of Grantsburg for the past 15 years. “At the restaurant we want
to welcome more of a dinner crowd with our extensive menu of pasta dishes and hot sandwiches, such as Italian sausage or beef sandwiches and a muffeletta sandwich,” Ensign said. “We have 18 sandwiches on the menu. We want to offer diners a nice place to enjoy an Italian meal. “Of course, we will continue to have pizza for dine-in and delivery,” Ensign added. “Anything on the menu will be available for takeout and delivery.” Ensign said they will offer several gluten-free meals. At the Grantsburg Village
Block and Cleaver Opens Retail Store Block and Cleaver Artisan Meats in Siren has officially launched the company’s Specialty Meat Retail Store. It will feature a fresh meat counter with beef and locally raised heritage pork, specialty smoked and fresh sausages. The store will also sell snack sticks, jerky, summer sausage, sausages, hotdogs and other specialty tasty goodness including smoked holiday hams and prime rib cut to order. Block and Cleaver will also be accepting venison (boneless trim only) to produce Venison Smoked Products and Sausage. The store’s initial winter hours will be Monday-Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Block & Cleaver combines the traditional artisan butcher and sausage maker with the growing consumer demand for locally raised and produced meats as well as the demand for a more natural alternative to the standard sausage. They also offer smoked products in the marketplace including naturally smoked and cured bacon and ham. Block and Cleaver is a small federally inspected facility located 7991 1st Street Siren, WI 54872 (a ½ mile west of Siren, WI and one block south of Hwy 70 (same building as Square One Pizza)). The facility is uniquely located 90 minutes northeast of the Twin Cities and 90 minutes southwest of Duluth in the heart of the Wisconsin Northwoods. Block and Cleaver was established in April 2016 by Adrian Dykstra when he completed an asset purchase of the sausage and smoked products equipment and portion of production area from Square One Pizza. The company expanded the production area to include a specialty cutting area for locally raised beef, pork, lamb and goats sold through private label farms and distributors. Additional information and updated hours will be available at BlockandCleaver.com or follow us on Facebook.
Board meeting Monday, the board approved Ensign’s request for a Class C alcohol license. It allows the establishment to serve beer or wine, but not hard liquor, with meals for dinein guests. Ensign said Gerry Ensign he plans to continue the previous owner’s practice of hiring local students as servers and cooks. By state law, they are allowed to sell the wine and beer but must be 18
or older to serve it. No carry-out alcohol will be sold. Ensign is known in the county for serving Italian food from a portable food trailer kitchen, also called “Mia Mangia.” He has served Italian food at the Grantsburg Agricultural Society Fair and other county locations for the past seven years, and has done a lot of catering. This is his first venture with a sit-down restaurant. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner, serving from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the week and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the weekend. “The restaurant seats about 32
Unhappy Pine St. resident escalates water issues BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—A Grantsburg resident displeased with the village board’s hands-off stance to his water-soaked property on south Pine Street has hired an attorney. Last year, Frank Becvar, Jr., moved out of the house at 860 S. Pine Street where he grew up due to what he says are wet walls and mold issues in the home. He claims the yard is so wet it feels like “a bouncing bog” under the weight of his pickup truck. Parts of the yard that are too wet to mow. He now lives with his parents on Grantsburg’s north side but wants to move back home. Over the past 2-3 years, Becvar and his mother, Gladys, have become regular attendees and speakers at the village board meetings. There was speculation among some regular board meeting visitors that Village President Larry Ebersold eliminated the “Public Comments” time on the agenda a few months back to prevent the Becvars from addressing their complaint at every meeting. The big question is what is causing the water to saturate Becvar’s lawn and what to do about it, but it’s not just at Bec-
var’s house. In many basements at neighboring homes along both sides of south Pine Street, high ground water causes sump pumps to run year-round. Becvar has consulted with the Army Corps of Engineers and the Wisconsin DNR over their actions (and inactions) regarding changes in the natural waterway to the east of his property, both recently and 20 years ago. He is dissatisfied with their hands-off approach too. Becvar’s attorney from Rodii, et. al, recently wrote a letter to the village board, requesting that they designate one village board member as their representative to meet with Becvar and his attorney to work on a new course of action. Earlier this year, the board voted that they were done with the matter. When the letter from Becvar’s attorney arrived, Ebersold directed the village clerk to reply to the letter stating only that they had received it. They took no position on the attorney’s request for discussion and engagement. After considerable discussion at Monday’s meeting, the board voted to forward the Becvar attorney’s letter to Grantsburg Village Attorney Weld Riley to advise the board on whether to act or stay out of it.

President Ebersold nominated Jared Woody of Grantsburg to fill the board to complete the final five months remaining in
former trustee Scott DeRocker’s term. DeRocker moved from the village last summer and the position has remained vacant. By ordinance, the village president nominates a replacement and the board accepts or rejects it. The board accepted Woody’s nomination on a 5-1 vote, with Trustee Goob Coy opposed. Woody lives with his wife and children on North Russell Street and works as a road deputy for the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department after serving as jail administrator until recently. He has been with the department seven years and has worked 12 years in law enforcement. He also has experience as a village police officer in Thorp, Wis., a community about the size of Grantsburg. Woody said his father served on the municipal board when he was growing up and has always wanted to serve on the board. When his temporary term ends in April, Woody says he plans to seek election to a regular three-year term.

Everyone deserves a home SUBMITTED BY JOSIE PENBERTHY CONNECTIONS STORE AND MORE, INDIANHEAD COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY
Homelessness means having no home. It usually means living in emergency shelters, transitional housing or safe havens, or sometimes in unsafe places like cars. The big question is: why are people homeless? One reason is due to the lack of affordable housing. Also, the limited scale of housing assistance programs has contributed to the current housing crisis and to homelessness. The second reason is poverty. Poor people are frequently unable to pay for housing, food, childcare, health care and education. Difficult choices must be made when limited resources cover only some of these necessities. Other major factors which can contribute to homelessness include: lack of affordable health care, domestic violence, mental illness and/or addiction. As a society, we have the resources and knowledge to end homelessness – we just need the collective will to make these ideas a reality. During the week of Nov. 11-19, please join together with people across the country for “Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.” You can help lend a hand to those in immediate need, while also supporting meaningful longterm solutions by: • Volunteering. Pitch in at your area food bank or shelter. • Donating. Support local programs with food, clothing and money. • Educating. Raise awareness about hunger and homelessness in your community This information was provided by: http://nationalhomeless.org/about-homelessness/ ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND TO ALL HUNTERS! Have a safe & successful hunt!
News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
I spent some time at our county animal shelter with one of our stray dogs who was not reclaimed, and I just don’t understand it. Red (because he has a red coat) is a wonderful pooch, gentle and loving. He looks at you with those gentle eyes and I swear he can see your soul. He wants to be by your side and be your friend for life. Red is approximately seven years old and is a hound mix. I’m thinking he looks like he’s got some beagle in him too. He had a few sores on Red his back legs which are healing and is a little stiff at times when he walks, but that happens to the best of us as we grow older! It appears Red hasn’t had an easy time of it. I do know he deserves a good home. That home would have to be without cats – definitely no cats! I’m going to also feature a really nice kitty named Lucky. Lucky is a large, five-year-old tabby with white markings. His front paws are declawed. He can be a little shy at first, but when he gets to know you that old motor just keeps on going and he thrives on attention. Lucky seems to be fine with other cats, but I’m not sure about dogs. With his easy-going nature I don’t think he would have trouble fitting into any Lucky family that loves him. He’s just hanging out at the shelter with the other kitties waiting for that special person. We are seeing construction progress on our new cat building. It will provide new and brighter rooms, making it a much nicer and cleaner environment for the felines until they move up to the adoption room. We now have new “cat condos” for quarantine which are a vast improvement over what we had. I wish to thank all our veterans, past and present and all our military for their service, including our four-footed vets. You are all heroes. We deeply appreciate all you do and the sacrifices you and your family make to keep us all safe and our freedom alive. Quote: “I think dogs are the most amazing creatures. They give unconditional love. For me, they are the role model for being alive.” Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, Don’t Shop!”

Zebra mussels and bike paths Committee discusses solutions and expansion JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
BURNETT COUNTY—The Burnett County Natural Resources Committee met last week at the Government Center to discuss invasive species in our lakes and expanding bicycle and hiking trails.
Zebra mussels Dave Ferris, Burnett County Conservationist, presented material about zebra mussels in county lakes and how to properly combat the issue. He then handed it over to director of the McKenzie lakes association Mike Schollmeyer. “We’ve installed self-service decontamination centers at area lakes to prevent the spread of the mussels,” Schollmeyer said. “These are heated power-washers that are used to decontaminate boats after leaving lakes.” Schollmeyer explained that the invasive zebra mussels were first found in Burnett County last fall and it was the first time they were found in any northern lake. Once the mussels reach adulthood they
can lay up to a million eggs a year. “They are filter-feeders and their expansion could lead to a crash in natural reproduction in the area, that could affec native fish and other animals,” Schollmeyer said. “The adults want to attach to substances like clams and that can kill the clams.” The best way to prevent the spread of the zebra mussels is to decontaminate boats upon entering and exiting the lakes, Schollmeyer said. “Most people are going to multiple lakes in a day,” Schollmeyer said. “If they go into two lakes early in the day then decontaminate after leaving a third, there’s no telling what they moved.” The first step the lakes association is taking is an attempt to control the issue. Which they believe began in the Great Lakes. “What we’re purposing is controlling it, we’re not ready to get rid of it,” Schollmeyer said
Bike Trails The Webb Lake Area Men’s bike club has been around since 1982, over the last year they have raised
over $9,000 with local causes like the Webb Lake First Responders and the A and H Ambulance garage. “We’re looking to bring more people into the area,” said club representative Frank Duberger. “The trails exist now. Duberger said he has been walking the trails over the last few weeks. He said the trails go in and tapper off after about 200 yards. “These trails already exist and they need to be three feet wide,” Duberger said. “No trees need to be taken down, it would just be dealing with brush.” The bike club representatives didn’t believe the bike trails intersect with any of the existing ATV or snowmobile trails. They also said off-road biking and hiking are huge in the area and this could lead to hundreds of miles of trails. Susan Tollander, forest and parks coordinator, said she would go out and check the trails and come back with her status report and recommendation. The committee will be meeting again next month and will be furthering discussion on these issues.

Colonel Snipes plots to blow up the island. Veronica, his wife, wears evening gowns in the daytime. Little Messalina is a child terror who has piranhas for pets. The housekeeper, who appears without her head, is menacing; the gardener is probably insane. One grisly murder takes place before Buzz’s arrival, but there are more to follow! Because of the family curse, there’s a werewolf in the house. The cast of 15 played to appreciative audiences Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. The Friday evening performance was rescheduled for early Friday afternoon due to the football team playing in the state semifinal game.

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS
STANLEY—The Grantsburg Pirates’ football season came to an end in the State Semi-Final game at the hands of the Amherst Falcons on Friday night by a score of 35-6, ending their quest to get to a State Championship game for the first time in school history. On a bitterly cold night, the Pirates were their own worst enemy on offense as they struggled to hang onto the ball with bad center/quarterback exchanges along with a couple of fumbles and interceptions. At this level, those mistakes can be costly and it is hard to recover against a quality team. The Pirates also lost some key players to injury throughout the game. All-Conference lineman Hauk Moritz went out with a concussion in the first half which left a huge hole on the line. Senior Tyler Stevens was next to take the bench when he apparently took a cleat to the face and came up with a broken nose. They also lost their starting quarterback, Luke Anderson, to a concussion mid-way in the third quarter. “We had some huge mistakes and gave Amherst a short field and some momentum at key points of the game,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “Playing a team as good as Amherst, you need to play well in all phases and we came up short in all three this night. They did a great job of controlling the

Things went from bad to worse losing starters Hauk Moritz, Luke Anderson and Tyler Stevens to injury.” The Falcons started the game on offense and methodically worked their way down the field using every second available between plays to eat up the clock and keep the ball out of the Pirates hands. They had a first and goal at the nine-yard line, but the stingy Grantsburg defense stood tall and stopped the Falcon attack and took over on downs inside the one-yard line.

Bryce Roufs (32) brings down Amherst’s Marcus Glodowski short of the goal line on fourth down to take over in the opening series of the game.
The offense was able to move the ball some, but were eventually forced to punt. The first quarter ended with no score for either team. The Falcons scored on a oneyard run by Bryce Holderman with 7:20 left in the second quarter to take a 7-0 lead. On the Pirates’ next series, they were moving the ball when a wild snap over the head of Anderson buried them deep and forced them to punt back to the Falcons, who scored with 17 seconds left on the clock to take a 14-0 halftime lead. Amherst started the second half with an onside kick which the Pirates were unable to recover. The Falcons took over at the 46-yard line and were eventually able to score, despite some great defense by the Pirates. With 8:20 left in the third, it was a 21-0 game. The Pirates fumbled on their turn on offense, giving the ball back to the Falcons who scored on a fluke fumble by Holderman in the endzone, which was recovered by Mason Peterson for the score to go up 28-0. They would find paydirt once more in the fourth quarter to take a 35-0 lead. John Chenal took over at quarterback for the injured Anderson, going three of six for 36 yards.

INSIDE THE HUDDLE
Hogs
Halfbacks dance and halfbacks flirt, while linemen crawl and eat the dirt. When game time comes, backs run the ball, when glory comes they get it all. But when it’s a 100 yards they gain, it’s thru the linemen’s sweat and pain. If halfbacks cry when they see blood, linemen hide it under mud. Some backs have moves and some have speed, but heart is all a lineman needs. Backs are needed and some run fine, but they’d be nothing without their line. A halfback loves and a halfback weds, but linemen only love their sleds. The fans all see the halfback run but few see what the line has done. And that’s why those who know agree, there’s half a game the fans don’t see. -Author Unknown
When an offensive lineman chooses to put his hand in the dirt, he chooses to live in anonymity. He chooses the path of the fighter, of the protector, of life in the shadows. The announcer rarely says his name, the papers rarely show his picture. But there he is, sweat dripping from his nose, bloodied knuckles, aching muscles. The offensive line is a band of brothers. Unless you’ve been in the trenches, you can’t know what it’s like. The crowd knows they’re there, but most see a big pile of big guys Inside the with big numbers. They don’t see the footwork, the timing, the commuHuddle nication. There is an art to playing ofBob Rombach fensive line, after all “blocking” was a theater term before it was a football term. There is a subtlety most cannot see. A lineman must be consistent in how he lines up, where he looks, how he puts his hand on the ground, his first step.
The line, the hogs, must embrace anonymity. They must rely on each other to keep them going. It is a small, fiercely loyal, and passionate group. One that will have the quarterback’s back one the field and off. One who will put his own physical well-being on the line so another can get the yards, touchdowns, headlines, glory. To the offensive lineman, the name on the front of the jersey matters more than the name on the back. He is the ultimate teammate. So, here’s to the guys in the trenches, the tip of the spear, the hard working, gritty grinders who lay it on the line every play for his team. Here’s to the hogs!

Q. Is an automatic monthly payment plan out of my checking account a benefit for paying my insurance premiums?
A.
Gary Nelson
It is definitely a “peace of mind” benefit, although companies may surcharge you $2.00 per month or more to do so. The great benefit is that you don’t have to worry about getting an insurance bill for several hundred dollars that is due maybe at a time when it is difficult to pay. By budgeting a monthly insurance payment, and making sure that money is in your account, you save some worry. Many people who use the EFT (electronic funds transfer) plan simply write that amount in their checkbook register at the start of each month, subtract it from the balance, and know the insurance payment is “budgeted” within the register, even if it doesn’t come out until later in the month. Talk to your agent. This payment plan is easy to set up. Being late with a payment can leave you without insurance and while some companies will simply reinstate a policy, others make you jump through a few hoops to do so.
is a great way to save funds for retirement. Julie Hammer A Traditional IRA and Roth IRA are both great options with differing tax advantages. With a Traditional IRA, contributions are tax-deferred until retirement. With a Roth IRA, the principal amount is not subject to future taxes, within guidelines. If you own a Traditional IRA and have reached the age of 70 ½, Federal law requires you to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) — a withdrawal from your account. RMD’s can be satisfied by annual distribution or monthly distribution, depending on your individual needs. Stop by your local Bremer office for assistance in setting up an IRA or satisfying your RMD.

directly into our jaws, they are suspended in the bone by little ligament fibers. These ligaments tell the brain how hard we are biting down and act as protection so we don’t crack our teeth on hard foods by biting too hard. When we clench and grind, the ligaments get irritated from the excessive force. This can result in extreme sensitivity to hot, cold, chewing pressure, mild to severe pain and even fracturing of the teeth. If you are experiencing sore teeth and think you are grinding your teeth, come see us at River Place Dental.

A.
Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose Ann Nelson, RN, (sugar) levels are above normal. The pancreas makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose Diabetes Educator get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body: 1) Either doesn’t make enough insulin (type I diabetes) or 2) Can’t use its own insulin as well as it should (type II diabetes) Without the proper amount of insulin, both, type I and type II diabetes causes sugar to build up in your bloodstream resulting in high blood glucose levels which can cause serious health complications. Whether you have diabetes or not, it is important to consume a balanced nutritional intake of whole grains, fruits, veggies, protein and dairy products. Decrease added sugars, fats, fried foods and processed foods. Plus being active will help reduce the risk and delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Wireless monitoring uses similar technology to your cell phone in lieu of a land line to provide 24/7 protection. The connection is maintained by utilizing cell towers and having a cellular transmitter installed on your property. There are extra benefits to having a security system that is linked to your cell phone, such as receiving text alerts and having remote access to your system. Home automation features such as remote control of lights, locks and the thermostat can also be included in your home security package.

New crime victim funding reaches all Wis counties MADISON—Attorney General Brad Schimel announced Nov. 2 that the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Crime Victim Services (OCVS) is providing $27.4 million to crime victim services in all 72 counties in Wisconsin through September 2018. “One of my core duties as attorney general is to provide assistance to crime victims in Wisconsin,” said Schimel. “But, I can only provide this assistance with the help of hundreds of victim advocates in Wisconsin who are committed to improving the lives of survivors of unspeakable tragedies. “This funding from DOJ will keep crime victims services at the local level available to citizens across the state, ensuring that those who have been violated, mistreated, and wronged are not left behind during what is likely one of the worst experiences in a person’s life.” Grant funding through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) victim assistance grant money is allocated by DOJ to private and public agencies, including district attorney’s offices, to support direct services to victims of crime. Services provided under this program include safety planning, community service referrals, counseling, crisis intervention, and legal advocacy.
Elder abuse services Victim services funded by DOJ are
extended to any crime victim, including victims of elder abuse. For example, the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups is being awarded more than $150,000 for their Elder Financial Empowerment Project. It assists victims over the age of 60 who are victims of financial crimes, such as power of attorney abuse, identity theft and intrafamilial theft and fraud. DOJ also allocated more than $1 million to Legal Action of Wisconsin’s Elder Abuse Civil Legal Services project. This project provides civil legal services, personal advocacy, and information and referral to elder abuse victims in 39 southern Wisconsin counties. VOCA grant funding provided by DOJ supports both large and small programs across the state, particularly those that serve victims of domestic and sexual violence. In the St. Croix valley, DOJ directed more than $22,000 to the St. Croix Valley Sexual Assault Response Team for advocacy services by volunteers. These volunteers are critical to a community’s response after sexual assault and often are the first support a victim receives at the time of a sexual assault forensic examination.
Sexual abuse services Similar to this program in the St. Croix Valley, DOJ provided more than $350,000 to ASTOP Sexual Abuse Center, serving Fond du Lac, Green
Lake, and Waushara counties. ASTOP provides services to survivors of sexual violence, their family, crisis intervention, case management, individual counseling, and support and therapy groups. DOJ also provides funding through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) STOP grant to fund the statewide forensic nurse examiner training program and to support prosecutors, advocates, and law enforcement who are providing services to domestic and sexual violence victims in Wisconsin. In conjunction with this grant, DOJ trains law enforcement on the best practices for responding to and investigating domestic violence. These trainings emphasize officer safety, trauma-informed interview techniques, domestic violence dynamics, developing a coordinated community response, witness intimidation, and lethality assessments. DOJ has led 24 trainings since January 2015 as part of this effort. Additionally, through the Sexual Assault Victim Services (SAVS) grant, DOJ provides nearly $2.1 million to programs throughout the state that provide direct services to sexual assault victims, including support groups, 24-hour crisis lines, and medical and legal advocacy. As part of another grant program, DOJ also annually provides nearly $500,000 to organizations around the state to fund services directly to
victims annually. DOJ routinely provides information and trainings to advocates and victim/ witness services on victims’ rights, crime victim compensation, and the sexual assault forensic exam (SAFE) fund. DOJ has also established, with collaboration from law enforcement, prosecutors, advocates, and victim/ witness services, a plan through 2020 that is dedicated to supporting trauma-informed training and technical assistance and encourages innovative approaches to responding to domestic and sexual violence.
Safe at Home DOJ also supports and administers Safe at Home, a program launched in April 2017 that provides victims of domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, stalking, trafficking, and those who fear for their physical safety with a legal substitute address and free mail forwarding service. Enrollment in Safe at Home allows victims of abuse and those who fear for their physical safety to maintain a confidential home, work, or school address and use a secure, legal address provided by DOJ.

Siren male charged with assault JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
SIREN— A 17-year-old Siren male was charged with two counts of second degree sexual assault of a child, a class C Felony charge. According to the criminal complaint, Siren Police Department was contacted June 23 by a woman about a matter concerning her 15-year-old granddaughter. The grandmother saw her granddaughter running through the yard earlier on that June morning.
Her grandmother said she went to knock at her bedroom door and it was locked, a rarity in their house. After many attempts, her granddaughter opened the door and was fully dressed. The grandmother noticed her shoes were wet. Later on, the grandmother went through her granddaughter’s phone and found information she believed was inappropriate between her and her boyfriend. The grandmother took screenshots of the messages and showed them to police. The girl’s stepmoth-
er was also interviewed. She said when talking to the girl and grandmother, the girl admitted to having sex with the 17-yearold male. On Sep. 22 police interviewed the 17-year-old suspect. He stated that he knew the girl and they went to school together. The officer asked him if they had sexual intercourse and the suspect said they did twice. He also said it was at his house. His initial court appearance is on Dec. 13.
This Thanksgiving, both dressing and stuffing!
Stuffing or dressing? I’ve always thought dressing and stuffing were the same thing, like pop and soda, but I was wrong. They are made with same ingredients: bread, onions, celery, seasonings, but the way you bake it defines whether it’s stuffing or dressing. Stuffing is stuffed and cooked inside the bird. Dressing is baked in a separate dish. I prefer stuffing because it soaks up the turWild Chow key drippings and takes on the flavor Lisa Erickson of the turkey. Many years our Thanksgiving guests number over 30 and I’ve made extra stuffing that can’t fit inside the turkey cavity. I found a way to make sure it still cooks in the turkey juices that give stuffing its great appeal. This year, I’m expecting another large crowd so I bought a whopping 27 pounder! Even though this bird is a giant, I still won’t have enough room in the cavity for all the stuffing. I brine the turkey the day before, for about 24 hours in salted water in the refrigerator. I place the turkey in a very large disposable foil pan and place that on a flat cookie sheet because the flimsy
CLASSIFIED
foil pan needs support. I dry the turkey with paper towels and rub it with butter, then season it. I stuff the turkey cavity first, lightly spooning in the bread mixture, not packing it tightly. I spoon the remaining stuffing around the outside of the turkey. As the turkey cooks, you may need to remove some of the stuffing (technically, dressing) from the pan so it doesn’t over cook, which will make space for more turkey juices. Be sure to check the inside of the turkey stuffing to make sure it’s cooked throughout. I use a meat thermometer. When it hits 165 degrees in the center of the stuffing, it’s done. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving Turkey Dressing or Stuffing Adapted from Victoria Granof in Bon Appetite magazine 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter plus more for baking dish 1 pound Italian bread, cubed (about 10 cups), about 2 loaves 2 1/2 cups onion, chopped 1 1/2 cups celery, chopped 1 apple, chopped 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, minced 2 Tbsp. fresh sage, minced 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, minced 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme, minced 2 eggs, beaten 2 tsp. kosher salt
Accommodation Specialist (765 hrs/yr) Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College Superior Campus
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided 1/2 cup half and half cream Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Scatter bread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1-1 ½ hours. Let cool; transfer to a large bowl. Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions, apple and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bread; stir in seasonings. Drizzle in 1 ½ cups broth and toss gently. Let cool. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 baking pan; set aside or butter the pan your turkey will cook in. In a bowl, whisk the other ½ cup of broth, half and half and eggs. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish or stuff as much as you can in the turkey cavity. Put the rest around the turkey. Cover with foil and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160 degrees, or about 40 minutes when not stuffed in the turkey. Continue to bake uncovered until stuffing is thoroughly cooked and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer or keep covered until turkey is done. Serve immediately.

GRANTSBURG BOARD: okays licenses, budget, purchases CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8
costs associated with the sale.
Alcohol beverage licenses The board acted on two request for alcohol beverage licenses. One request came from Connie Scheele and David Corty, owners of Dreamers St. Croix Bar and Grille, seeking 60-day provisional Class B Beer and Class B Liquor licenses to re-open the restaurant primarily to hold the license open for a couple who is in process of purchasing the facility and begin operating it after the first of the year. The board also approved a Class B Beer and Class C wine license for Gerald Ensign, new owner at of the Pizza Place. Ensign requested the wine and beer license to offer those beverages with the Italian food he will serve to dine-in patrons at the restaurant, to be called “Mia Mangia” (My Treats.) A dissenting vote on the license approval was cast by Diane Barton.
Other actions In other actions, the board: •Accepted Nikki Olson’s resignation as manager of the Grantsburg Municipal Swimming Pool. •Approved an application for a $162,000 in a general obligation
loan from Bremer Bank to help replenish the village’s cash account after several recent village equipment purchases. •Heard a report from Golf Course Operator John Addison that revenues for 2017 are up and expenses decreased at the village-owned golf course, and $9,000 in the course account as the golfing season came to a close. Addison said he planted 13 trees at the course this year and removed three that were diseased or dead. •Approved the 2018 village budget of $426,876. •Approved John Addison spending up to $27,000 on the purchase of a used greens mower for the municipal golf course. He said the Toro mowers he prefers have a 30-year operational expectancy and that he still uses a 1991 model mower in golf course maintenance fleet. •Approved a 60¢ per hour increase for every village employee except its newest one. That amount covers the anticipated two percent inflation and adds a total of $12,679 to the 2018 budget. •Implemented a plan in which all village employees will receive regular performance evaluations. •Approved a conditional use permit for Bergys Fitness and Foods, allowing them to convert the
section at the front of the fitness center from a chiropractic practice area into a retail sales area for bulk foods and health foods. •Approved transfer of the village airports 2014 entitlement funds in the amount of $150,000 to the Shawano, Wis., airport as an interest-free loan. Grantsburg will be able to recall the loan if/when it approves a major airport project such as a new runway or adding an airplane fueling system. •Approved moving delinquent amounts from Grantsburg water and sewer customers into the tax rolls. For the current year, the total of delinquent water and sewer accounts totals more than $25,000. •Heard from Library Director Kristina Kelley-Johnson that three volunteers have come forward to continue the AARP tax preparation at the library during the tax season. •Heard that 23 fire inspections due last month were all completed. The board also learned that the village’s fire ISO (fire insurance) rating had improved from a five to a four (lower number better). The better rating may possibly result in lower fire insurance premiums for residents within five miles of the Grantsburg Fire Station.

Grantsburg Village Clerk Patty Bjorklund administers the oath of office to Grantsburg resident Jared Woody, whose nomination was approved to complete a trustee position that ends in June. Woody, a Burnett County Sheriff Deputy, said he will seek a full three-year term on the board in the April election.
County part of global initiative Grantsburg families are on a mission to make an impact in the lives of children in need. They are donating colorfully wrapped shoebox gifts to be sent to children around the world—many of whom have never received a gift before and have very little to call their own. Nov. 13 –20 is Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week, when local residents will collect shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items. The Samaritan’s Purse project will deliver these gifts to chil-
dren affected by war, disease, disaster, poverty and famine. The Siren Wisconsin Area Team volunteers have a goal of collecting more than 3,608 gifts during the week. “It’s exciting to think of the impact our efforts will have in the life of each child who receives a shoebox,” said regional director Nicole Sheldon. “We can’t wait to see how our community will respond this year to share God’s love with children across the globe.” Grantsburg residents are not alone
in their effort to help children around the world. More than 150,000 volunteers including families, churches and other groups are joining forces to contribute to the largest Christmas project of its kind. In 2017, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect enough shoebox gifts to reach 12 million children, with 3,608 coming from the Siren Wisconsin Area Team Area Team. For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child or to view gift suggestions, call 612-369-
7023 or visit samaritanspurse.org/occ. Participants can donate $9 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination. Those who prefer the convenience of online shopping can browse samaritanspurse.org/buildonline to select gifts matched to a child’s specific age and gender, then finish packing the virtual shoebox by adding a photo and personal note of encouragement.

Give God your whole life
Pastor Scott Sagle Calvary Covenant Church, Grantsburg
So what does it mean to give God your whole life? The summary the Prophet Micah gives us in chapter 6 verse 8 is about the best one you can get. It involves three things: 1) pursue acts of justice, 2) deeply crave loving faithfulness with all your heart, 3) walk with God in total humility. First, â&#x20AC;&#x153;do justiceâ&#x20AC;?. Our actions need to bring about and produce a more just and righteous world. God expects us to make the world a better place by what we do and say. Second, â&#x20AC;&#x153;love mercyâ&#x20AC;?. The word used for love is â&#x20AC;&#x153;awhabâ&#x20AC;? it means to crave or desire and the word translated in the NIV as mercy
is â&#x20AC;&#x153;hesedâ&#x20AC;?. It is loving faithfulness to God lived out in acts of mercy toward others. Not just giving a homeless person a buck, but doing it out of deep love and affection for them. Micah says as followers of God our natural craving should be to show acts of loving kindness to others.We should wake up in the morning and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who am I going to bless today?â&#x20AC;? When we are wronged by someone, we should be eager, not for revenge, but to show them a love they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve because God has done the same for us.Do you have a heart of faithfulness and mercy or a heart that is judgmental and looks for a reason

to get out of your obligations to others? The last is to walk humbly with our God. If you forget about God it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be long and you will look up and God will be far away. Walking with God means paying attention to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace and following Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead. It also means maintaining a humble posture. You realize you are not the lead, God is. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just care about your journey and your destination, but care about those around you. God wants us to walk through this life in grace and humility, not in pride and selfishness. May you and I continue to learn to walk with Jesus and like Jesus.

TOTES FOR A GOOD CAUSE

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

Totes for a good cause WEBSTER—Local charities teamed with the Burnett County Emergency Management Department to create and distribute 25 emergency disaster totes to Burnett County food pantry clients. The Connection Store and More, Burnett County Food Shelf - ICAA worked with Sharon Knower of Sharon’s Webb Lake Charity “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” and Burnett County Emergency Management Director Jim Tolbert, using totes donated by Sharon’s charity and Tolbert. They filled the totes with enough food and bottled water for three-five days’ worth of rations in case of an emergency or disaster. Clients are to check their box yearly to make sure items are not outdated and to restock them as needed. The group hopes to keep this project going, but needs more medium-sized totes. If you wish to donate totes, please bring them to the Connection Store, located next door to Minit Mart in Webster. SUBMITTED
