Fire erupts at dairy farm JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Four Cubs Farm barn ﬁre

GRANTSBURG— A fire broke out at the Four Cubs Farm last Wednesday around 11 a.m. It was started by a diesel engine generator that operates a pressure washer. There were no physical injuries or fatalities to personnel or cattle. The dairy farm is owned by the Petersons at 23250 S. Williams Rd. in Grantsburg. The fire was contained to the barn with the milking parlor, which was built in 1898. There was no damage to any other structure on the farm. Seven area fire departments responded in full force. Grantsburg Fire Department was dispatched at 11:04 a.m. Other departments dispatched to the scene were Siren, Webster, Frederic, Cushing, Pine City and Rush City. “We called in so many departments because of how few volunteers are available during the day,” said, Grantsburg Fire Chief Cory Barnette. “All of these departments worked perfectly together.”

Fire from a diesel engine that powered a pressure washer ignited the Peterson farm barn. It was built in 1895 and housed the milking parlor. 900 cows were moved that day to other area farms with no injuries to personnel or livestock.

Fellow farmers help Petersons quickly move 900 cows BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Shortly after 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 1, fire destroyed the milking parlor inside the original, 1895 barn on the Four Cubs Farm southeast of Grantsburg. The blaze shut down the Peterson farm’s milking operation. That meant about 850 milk cows, accustomed to being milked 2-3 times every 24 hours, had to be moved to other dairy farms as quickly as possible, along with about 50 other cows. Thanks to word of mouth, phone calls and Facebook, the response was immediate. Before 1 p.m., the first pickup trucks from farms throughout northwest Wisconsin arrived pulling empty cattle trailers. They asked for nothing more than to be told where to deliver the cows.

Siren couple charged with child neglect Parents get multiple counts after son goes missing JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN— Siren parents were charged with three misdemeanor counts of child neglect, after their four-year-old son was missing for hours last month. Elsie Nicole Bearhart, 32, and Gregory Nelson, 34, are also the parents of a 6-year-old and 13-yearold girls. Nelson is also charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of resisting or obstructing an officer, all misdemeanor charges. According to the criminal complaint, police were called when a six-year-old girl was asking people if they had seen her four-year-old brother. The six-year-old-girl and her 13-year-old sister explained to police that their four-year-old brother had been missing for over an hour. The 13-year-old girl had a working cell phone and told police her parents do not have phones. Then both girls explained their brother runs

would be arrested for possession of meth so something could be done to help the children. One of the searchers found the boy. He was wearing a soiled shirt and soiled pants. He was not wearing socks or shoes. The officer escorted the three children back to their house. There the officer observed the interior of

the trailer was dirty and there was rotten food in the kitchen. The officer noted a utility knife and liquor within reach of the children. The bedrooms had soiled mattresses and the bunk beds had no blankets or pillows. The officer noted it looked like someone was lighting matches in the bathroom sink. There was writing and scribbling on the bedroom walls. There was also feces smeared on the walls. The 13-year-old girl continued to apologize for how dirty the house was. After approximately 22 minutes inside, Nelson was heard swearing loudly on the west end of the trailer. Nelson said the boy had been with him the whole time. The officer noted Nelson’s pupils were dilated, he was sweating, was extremely agitated and appeared high on drugs. Bearhart and Nelson are due back in court for initial appearances on Nov. 29.

FIRE: Four Cubs Farm barn and milking parlor go up in ﬂames CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Black smoke and flames were billowing out of one of the barns in front of the silos for almost an hour while firefighters worked to contain it. Later in the day a backhoe was used to knock down the structure to ensure it did not spread. Ben Peterson said it was probably extinguished by 5 p.m. Winds were blowing from the southeast which was best, because it was blowing away from the cattle barn. Throughout the day trucks were arriving and departing from the Grantsburg fire station to fill up with water.

Arriving on scene

“The first thing we did after getting on the scene was access the situation and size up the problem,” Barnette said. “We then made sure all the personnel and cattle were safe.” Barnette noticed the barn was completely engulfed in flames. The Sheriff’s Department was out and clearing the area as cars began parking on Crosstown Road, while the fire was being put out in the rain and snow. Cory Barnette “There are no Grantsburg Fire Chief categories for

It’s just a mess.” Barnette added that all responding fire departments should be thanked and not just Grantsburg because they got Cory Barnette the call. Grantsburg Fire Chief By 1:15 p.m. Grantsburg was releasing some of the area departments who had responded to a request for mutual aid. By that time they had control of the flames and did not need the excess of man power. “All departments worked together to prevent any more damage than already existed.”

Petersons response Niki Peterson went to Facebook looking for any and all help they could find with trucks/trailers/drivers to get their 900 dairy cows to other farms. The cattle were sent to about six area farms. She explained over 100 vehicles came to help and were arriving well after 8 p.m. Extra help was coming from five hours away and were disappointed that they could not help. No damage estimate was available.

Observations and Wi-Fi

To quote Will Shakespeare... I’m joking. I have never been a big fan of his work and in school it was always easier to read the modern day translations. I have no idea what doth means. I don’t want to talk about how I got lost getting to somewhere in Webb Lake and then got seemingly more lost trying to get back. (But it can be problematic with two different Deer Lake roads both on highway 77. I was 100 percent positive I was going west, then all of a sudden I start seeing signs for Sentinel Washburn County and Chicog.) So, I will use this space to make a Editor couple observations I have noticed Jonathan Richie over the last 17 days in Burnett County. Cases of beer are cheaper up here. I’m not a big drinker, but Hamm’s costing about $10 after tax is wonderful. I savor seeing the sandhill cranes flying around or picking at the open fields on my morning commute. In the city they’re called ribeye in the sky, I’ve only ever seen one down there and it was especially territorial. I finally have wi-fi at my house so I’m reconnected to the world wide web at every waking moment, but what a bombardment of information my smart phone can be. An extraordinary device, that is mostly looked down upon when doing daily menial tasks. I guarantee the next version of humans will have a different type of neck, one that is more apt to be looking down at all times. Remember those days of only being able to call people with your phone? That’s what those days without wi-fi were like. Even though I did not receive most text messages, my phone wasn’t entirely useless. I still called my grandma Betty Mae Schannauer, every Sunday morning and my mother whenever I was in a panic. A buddy of mine told me about wi-fi calling. It’s free and it works anywhere with a signal. So, I’m no longer paying for roaming charges, which I honesty had no idea still existed. I enjoyed not having some of that access to the entire world. It was really nice not watching any cable news (the bane of my existence.) There is something sublime about not knowing what the President is doing every single second of the day. I understand he is the most powerful man in the world, but that break from the barrage of information was fantastic. Somebody in the office said, “Last year it was 70 degrees outside.” Two days later it snowed. But that is one thing Betty always tells me,“Jonathan – you can’t control the weather, nobody can.” It’s easy to contact me by email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com or phone at 715-463-2341.

Victory for veterans Saturday marks the 99th anniversary of the beginning of the end of World War I, the “war to end all wars.” An armistice, a timed end to hostilities, was scheduled for the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The truce held, and six months later a peace treaty was signed. We commemorate Armistice From the Publisher’s Day, known now as Veterans Day, on Desk November 11 each year. Tom Stangl For the majority h 20th h century, the wars our off the nation fought had clearly defined goals and were waged against obvious enemies. Even though they were long and had high tolls in money and human lives, we knew when victory was achieved. Enemies surrendered, and we set about making things right again. The wars of this century have been quite another story. The Global War on Terrorism, begun after the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. on Sept. 11, 2001, has been murkier and less defined. Conventional warfare has been used in numerous fronts from Afghanistan

to Iraq to Syria as we chase a moving target. Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Islamic State continue to be foes in several different nations. In large part, it is difficult to determine who the enemy actually is and a clearly defined objective is trickier as well. In some cases, the people who were our enemy have become our allies against a third foe. The Kurdish nationals have been great allies in the war against the Islamic State, but the governments of Iraq and Turkey see the Kurds as enemies because they want an independent nation. It keeps the diplomats and the generals on their toes. The one constant that we can depend on is the skill and tenacity of our armed forces. No matter what job they are given, from tracking down terror cells to aiding in natural disaster relief, we can be assured that the job will be done with professionalism and compassion. That’s why I think Saturday is such an important day. After the divisive war in Vietnam, the nation learned that while we may not agree with the war, we all can and should support the warriors. I am pleased to have seen this injustice get corrected as we continue to try to make things right with the people who fought in Vietnam and deserved much better

treatment than they received. As of 2014, the Veterans Administration (VA) estimates there were 22 million military veterans in the U.S. population. If you add their figures on veterans to the active personnel numbers, 7.3 percent of all living Americans have served in the military at some point in their lives. That’s less than one in 10 Americans. There are many, many people who owe a debt of gratitude to these 22 million veterans. In addition to observing Veterans Day and paying respect during ceremonies, we must turn our words of gratitude into action. Veterans who are without jobs and those who struggle to receive the care they were promised deserve just as much attention during these struggles in their lives as they do when the color guard passes by in a parade.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Numbers to watch as Walker readies re-election bid launch BY WISPOLITICS.COM

MADISON, Nov. 2—Gov. Scott Walker is due to formally announce his re-election bid around Nov. 5 amid some potentially troubling early poll numbers. It’s a year out from the general election, and insiders caution early polls must be skeptically viewed. Plus, Walker, going after a third four-year term, is presiding over a good economy and will have the backing of tens of millions of dollars from his own campaign and allies against what critics call a mediocre group of Democratic challengers. But, poll watchers are noting a couple of big things: The Foxconn deal is not a slam dunk – yet. And state Republicans may not be able to insulate themselves from history – mid-terms elections often tilt against the party in power in Washington, D.C. – and President Trump’s poor polling numbers among independents.

What about Foxconn? A recent Marquette Law School Poll of metro Milwaukee adults found 48 percent of all respondents think Foxconn isn’t worth the $3 billion incentive package it got from the state; 38 percent said the huge Mount Pleasant plant, which is projected to employ 13,000 people in years to come, would provide $3 billion or more in benefits to the state. And only 54 percent of those surveyed in the counties of Milwaukee, Racine, Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee counties think it would bolster the area economy. And statewide, the numbers appear weaker. A new poll from the Dem firm Public Policy Polling found Walker trailing a generic Democratic opponent and his job approval numbers upside down.

Forty-three percent of voters surveyed approve of the job he’s doing, while 49 percent do not. Meanwhile, a generic Dem opponent led 48-43. Another finding: 34 percent of voters support the Foxconn deal, while 41 percent do not; and 38 percent think Walker reached the agreement because it will be a good long-term deal for the state, while 49 percent believe he did it to help his re-election.

Walker and Trump In addition, the statewide automated phone poll of more than 1,100 registered voters in October showed: Forty percent approve of the job President Trump is doing, while 52 percent disapprove; 44 percent think Walker has been too supportive of the president, while 35 percent said he’s been supportive the right amount and 13 percent think he hasn’t been supportive enough. Dems led the generic legislative ballot 44-41; also, 44 percent think the state’s legislative district lines are not fairly drawn, while 25 percent think they are. Still, Republicans say Walker has a great story to tell – a very low unemployment rate, a budget that delivers real money to education, plus continued property tax relief. Walker will tout this and other things during his Nov. 5 kickoff planned for Weldall Manufacturing Inc., a welding and fabrication company in Waukesha. That kickoff will be followed by many stops around the state. The events come on the heels of several steps Walker has taken in recent weeks to set up his re-election bid. That includes the release a 60-second digital ad. “Our bold reforms have delivered results for Wisconsin’s hard-working families,

from lower taxes to record investment in our classrooms – but there’s more to be done,” Walker said. “I’m ready to continue the fight and keep Wisconsin moving forward.” Walker Administration Secretary Scott Neitzel predicts the Foxconn deal will grow more popular over time, saying it’s likely going to be least popular when the agreement is first signed.

Foxconn risk/reward But Neitzel, speaking Oct. 31 at a WisPolitics.com luncheon at the Madison Club, said once suppliers across the state work out agreements with the Taiwanese technology company, the agreement’s impact would only continue to grow. “I think you will see people across the state have a connection to Foxconn, because their local plant or manufacturer is supplying something to Foxconn,” he said. ”Everybody’s fully aware of the risk, but once they see the benefits and they start multiplying across the state I think this thing just becomes more and more and more popular.’’ Asked what the hang-up is to finalizing the deal, Neitzel cited the deal’s size, saying with a pledged $10 billion investment and 13,000 jobs from Foxconn, plus the state’s own tax incentive commitment, closing up the agreement while ensuring taxpayers are protected would take time. “It’s a lot of money, and we want to make sure we’re doing it right. So we don’t want to be driven by any artificial deadline,” he said. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. earlier this month delayed a vote on the $3 billion incentive package, although it could be taken up at the board’s next meeting on Nov. 8.

Have you ever heard of “vampire power?” It is the energy used by electronics even when they are plugged in but not in use. Virtually all of your electronics are sucking up energy even if they’re turned off or not being used. Some of the Earth biggest culprits Notes include your TV, computer and Jen Barton printer. Even your electric toothbrush is drawing energy when it’s plugged in and sitting idle. On its own, the “vampire power” used by one device might seem miniscule, but collectively it amounts to more than $4 billion a year of wasted energy in the United States. The easiest (and most obvious)

thing you can do is get up right now and unplug whatever you’re not using. Candidates include your hand-held vacuum in its charging station, power drills, automatic coffee makers, The DVD player you haven’t used in nearly a decade, that TV that’s collecting dust in the guest room, or maybe that nearly empty refrigerator in the garage. For the slightly more ambitious, buy a power strip at your local hardware store. Yes, it takes a little time up-front to plug everything into it, but you’ll more than make up the time when you can cut all power with just the flip of a switch. Clamping down on vampire power is one of the easiest ways to save money on your electric bill (about 5 percent a month) and pump less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It may not seem like much, but it all adds up! Questions, thoughts and concerns can be forwarded to Jen at jbarton@nwrpc.com, or 715-6352197.

It was a bit cold, so I offered a few moments to step inside and warm up! And, we also had a pleasant experience with a group of eighth graders! You’re never too old at our home for treats! Congratulations again to our Pirates football team! What an awesome group of guys! It was pretty nasty weather, but even that couldn’t stop them. Thanks to all our local businesses who support the “We are Grantsburg” site. We were given the pleasure of watching the game from our home. Again we say, “Good Luck Pirates!” They travel to Stanley-Boyd High School to face defending state champions Amherst. Birthday wishes this month go to: Myron C. on the 5th, Noriko K. and Verner D. on the 6th, Bruce Muehlhauser on the 14th, Bob Branstad on the 23rd, and Sena C. on the 26th.

Siren School gets new menu software and salad bar JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN— Siren schools will be purchasing a new menu-planning software system called Health-E Pro. The decision was made at a school board meeting on Oct. 25. They voted unanimously to approve the purchase of the Health-E Pro deluxe software. “Health-E Pro will allow us to see how much sodium, calories and nutritional values are in the menus we create,”said Siren schools food service administrative assistant, Tiffany Battisti. “It will also ensure that we are staying within the federal government regulations and guidelines.” These guidelines are set by the Food and Nutrition services, as part of the US Department of Agriculture and all public schools need to follow them. They include requirements for serving fresh fruit and vegetables, which are broken down into sub-groups along with sodium and calories. Siren Superintendent Kevin Shetler said the software will cost the district $1,877 for start up costs and will cost the same amount annually. “The school will sign a five-year contract with that agreed upon price annually,” Battisti said. “This program will also allow us to add new items on the menu without the worry of

them not meeting federal regulations.” Battisti said other school districts are using Health-E Pro and the program has been given a favorable response. “This program will also help us save money by forecasting the amount of food we need to prepare,” Battisti said. The software also allows all paperwork to be done within the program, so there is no wasted paper being filled out and used on a regular basis.

Salad bar

Siren school has had a salad bar for a little over a month. It is offered to older students and faculty members as an alternative to the hot lunch program. “Not every student likes what we serve for a meal everyday,” Battisti said. “We offer the main entree to students k through 12 and salad bar for students from 4th grade through seniors.” Battisti said the salad bar has added another option for the older students and it is a big success so far. “We have increased our lunch counts significantly and it has been a really big hit with the high school and staff.” During the school board meeting multiple teachers chimed in adding that they really appreciate this healthier option from the lunch program.

SIREN— Sirentel is partnering with The History Channel to show their appreciation for veterans in a program that will take place on Nov. 13 at 10:30 a.m. at Siren School with all high school and middle school students attending. Take a Veteran to School Day is a History Channel initiative encouraging schools to connect veterans with young people to learn about the service and hear their stories. The ultimate goal is to learn more about Veterans Day. “I applied for this national program and I never thought Siren would get selected,” said Jennie Carlstrom of Sirentel. “I was just so pumped to see that little Siren had been selected in this nationwide search.” History Channel has donated 150 T-shirts and wristbands for the school to hand out to students on Nov. 13. “Even though the elementary school kids won’t be at the program, we will be giving them wristbands,” Carlstrom said. World War II Veteran, Wally Nelson 92, will be in attendance and about 30 other local veterans have been invited.

Active duty member Dave Daily will be on Skype and his wife will be the guest speaker. “I’m excited to give back anyway we can,” Carlstrom said. The Pledge of Allegiance will be said and the high school band and choir will be performing a patriotic song in honor of the veterans in attendance.

Golf tournament “We started the golf tournament three years ago and now it’s a regularly scheduled event,” Steve Austin said. “All the people from Voyager Village have been great.” Every year the tournament is held the first saturday after Labor Day at the Voyager Village golf course. This year’s tournament had 130 golfers with 85 individual families and companies sponsoring signs on the course. “After the tournament we have a dinner with an auction and we giveaway prizes,” said Eric Lillehaugen. “Then we have a trophy ceremony at the Oak Ridge Inn.” These first responders receive about 150 calls per year and having the funds to fully operate is crucial to saving lives. The Webb Lake First Responders are always looking for more volunteers.

WEBB LAKE— Oak Ridge Inn and Campground and their staff have been organizing funding for the Webb Lake Area First Responders for the last couple of years. This year alone they have raised $14,200 in donations for the group. Steve Austin and his wife Julie own Oak Ridge Inn and Campground. When Steve met Marie Bernatz, Treasurer of the Webb Lake Area First Responders, a few years ago they began a relationship that has kept the Webb Lake area safe during medical emergencies. “For the last three years, at least, they’ve essentially been our bank,” Bernatz said. “These people have kept our group going and without this money we would have folded.” Bernatz explained that the group

could not pay for their insurance. Up in Webb Lake it takes a while for any emergency vehicle to get up there. All first responders carry around there medical bags, which are equipped to handle any crises while waiting for an ambulance. The money donated also goes to paying for education for first responders as well as equipment. “Up here we’re a long way from most places, so having those bags is incredibly important for us,” Bernatz said. “In the last year we’ve doubled our coverage area.” Austin said once he found out that the first responders were funded by the individual volunteers and not by a governmental body it just made sense to start helping them financially. “Once people, in the area, realize that the first responders needed money they were more than happy to donate,” Austin said.

FELLOW FARMERS: help relocate cows during, after Four Cubs Farm ﬁre CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Farmers to the rescue By 1:40 p.m. the line of trucks and trailers snaked from the north side of the Peterson’s long, undamaged dairy barn around to the south side. There, Peterson herdsmen loaded seven dairy cows at a time into cattle trailers to be transported to one of the eight area dairy farms that volunteered to shelter, feed and milk the cows until the Petersons can regroup and rebuild. Kyle Vanderhoof of Shell Lake was among the dairy farmers. He arrived about 1:45 p.m. He said his dairy consultant from Dresser heard of the fire and started making calls to farmers who could help. The consultant is a friend of the Peterson’s herd manager. In the world of Wisconsin dairy farmers, those connections are all-important. Vanderhoof said he knew firsthand that a quick response was needed. His 130-cow farm lost a dairy barn to fire last year. “It means a lot when your friends and neighbors, plus farmers you have never even met, show up to help,” Vanderhoof said. “I will take the cows wherever they want me to and I’ll make several trips if they need me.” As the cows were being loaded at a gate on the south side of the barn, volunteer helpers and employees recorded the tag number from each cow’s ear plus the name of the driver and the destination farm. Burnett Dairy Cheese Cooperative Board Chairman Bill Haase and son, Jason, were next in line. Bill serves on the dairy board with Cris Peterson. “We aren’t sure where we are going but we wanted to help,” Bill said.

of these facilities, that you can stick in 50 or 100 cows and not notice it a lot. “Over 100 truckloads of cattle left here yesterday,” Ben said. Nicki added, “We found out today that one truck and trailer came from Newton, Wisconsin, which is two miles from Lake Michigan, north of Sheboygan. That’s a five-hour drive away.” “All the animals first ended up at six different farms initially,” Ben said. “They will feed the cow and keep the milk. They make it part of their herd.

working.” Ben continued, “The first objective is to get the remnants of the barn cleared out, then figure out what we’re going to build and get at it. We hope it’s less than six months.” Looking back at the previous day, Ben said, “We still had about 250 cows left to leave the farm at 6 p.m., and the trucks just kept showing up, a whole line of people showing up to help.” “What a wonderful group of people,” Nicki added.

Daylong process Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, despite a steady drizzle and roads becoming slippery, the trucks and trailers kept arriving and departing. At about 8:30 p.m. Ben Peterson’s wife, Nicki, turned away the final three trucks. “They were disappointed that we didn’t have more cows to move,” she said. “The outpouring of help was just incredible.” The following day, Ben and Nicki talked a bit about where the operation goes from here. “We know most of the larger dairies in the area,” Peterson said. “Only one dairy that we did not know personally took some cows. That’s the beauty of some

Happy Holidays to everyone! The period from Thanksgiving through New Years accounts for an unusually high percentage of clogged drain pipes, plugged toilets, and other plumbing issues. Here are a few suggestions to help prevent holiday plumbing problems: 1) Don’t overload your garbage disposal or put greasy foods in it. 2) Scrape greasy food waste off of dishes and into the trash or compost before putting dishes in the dish water or dishwasher. 3) If some of your guests are helping in the kitchen, tactfully share suggestions 1 & 2 with them. 4) If you have a toilet that doesn’t always ﬂush so well, consider replacing it before your guests arrive. It will spare you and your guests the embarrassment of that dreaded question, “Do you have a plunger?” 5) Well before the big day arrives, check over your plumbing system thoroughly. Better yet, hire a pro to check it over. Making preventive repairs before the holiday is always preferable to making emergency repairs during the holiday.

We don’t know all the details because we have never gone through this before. We have a financial advisor who does consulting with a lot of different herds, so he and others are helping us out with advice. We are so thankful for the outpouring of help and support we have received.” Ben added that about 900 cattle were transported off the farm on Wednesday, including calves that were ready to go. “This is the first day since 1895 that there hasn’t been a cow milked at this place,” he said.

What’s next So, where do the Petersons go from here? They will look at modern milking techniques and ways to upgrade their milking parlor. “Definitely robotic milking is an option,” Ben said. Nicki added, “We are going to do what we can to get the milk cows back on our farm as soon as possible to keep our employees

Tuesday , Nov. 7 update From the Four Cubs Farm Facebook page: “We have many of our heifers being raised at other facilities which we now have room for in our barn. So these girls got to move home today! We plan to move over 300 back to our farm this week. “This will help reduce expenses, eat up some of our feed, keep some employees working and keep the barn warmer. There will still be a lot of open pens but we will use those areas for construction and hope to be milking some cows by March with a big goal of being back to full capacity by June.”

Supporters argue groundhogs, also known as woodchucks or whistle pigs, are plentiful and their burrowing destroys gardens and undermines building foundations, sidewalks and roads. The Alliance for Animals, the Humane Society of the United States and Midwest Environmental Advocates all have registered in opposition. The Assembly passed the bill on a voice vote in June. The measure now goes to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature.

St. Croix Casino Lodge catches ﬁre JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

DANBURY— The St. Croix Casino Lodge in Danbury caught fire on Saturday Nov. 4. There were no injuries. The Danbury Fire Department was dispatched to the St. Croix Casino Lodge a little before 2 p.m. Danbury Fire Chief, Mark Bauer said the fire began well before that. “There were no injuries,” Bauer said. “The state fire marshall said the origin of the fire was undetermined and he was fairly certain it wasn’t arson.” The Danbury Fire Department was first on the scene followed by Webster, Siren and Webb Lake Fire Departments. “We sent in two initial attack teams when we arrived and they took most of the heat out of the building,” Bauer said. “A little after 4 (p.m.) the air was clear and there wasn’t any smoldering.” Bauer added that all the fire departments did a fantastic job working together at the scene. The St. Croix Casino Lodge, formerly known as the St. Croix Tribe’s Hole In The Wall Hotel, is located across the parking lot from the St. Croix Tribe’s new St. Croix Casino and Hotel on Hwy. 35. No damage cost information was available at the time. The St. Croix Casino was contacted for this story but did not immediately respond.

Nelson added it was a whirlwind trip and quite the adventure being shown around the UW campus in Madison. They attended a play on one evening with the overarching message being, put your phone down. Burnett County 4-H also sent two members to Washington D.C. over the summer for the Citizen Washington Focus(CWF.) Alexis Symond said it began with a 24 hour bus ride. “Even before we got there we were connecting with people (on the bus) from all over the nation,” Symond said. Symond added the solemn feeling she had walking on the national mall and seeing the different war memorials during their tour.

Ricky Stahl also attended the CWF, he said he enjoyed seeing Gettysburg on their way to the capitol. This was the first year Burnett County 4-H was represented at Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala. Mason Getts and Luke Lahners went to the camp put on by NASA in April. “We tried to launch a satellite into orbit,” Lahners said, as he explained his group working with the ground control simulator. “We should’ve gotten the award for comedy.” Getts’ group did not fair any better on the simulator. “We burned up in the atmosphere,” Getts said. Getts and Lahners saw the Saturn 5 rocket and said it was so big, it stretched from one side of the museum to the other. The evening ended with a slideshow that included pictures of the members at different events throughout the year.

GHS fall play ‘Curse of the Werewolf’ is Saturday, Sunday GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg High School Theater is presenting the mystery/farce “Curse of the Werewolf” at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11 and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 12 at the high school auditorium. The Friday evening performance has been cancelled so that everyone can cheer for the Grantsburg Pirates football team. Go Pirates! The play has the best creepy characters from every horror movie ever made, and the cast will keep the audience laughing through this spirited spoof with trickery and double dealing, sinister murders and just a touch of romance. Buzz Halliburton (Blake Jensen), a circus entertainer fallen on hard

times, is summoned by his mysterious Uncle Algernon to Gargoyle House, a spooky castle on a New England island. Buzz and his partner Admiral Byrd, a penguin who tap dances to “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” encounter a bizarre assortment of “family and friends” at Gargoyle House. Algernon is mysteriously murdered. His identical twin brother Colonel Snipes (Everett Wincek) plots to blow up the island while his wife (Grace Gaffney) wears evening gowns all day. Little Messalina (Macy Moore), the resident child terror, keeps baby piranhas for pets. The menacing housekeeper (Kaitlyn Rombach) often appears without her head. Due to a family curse, there

is a werewolf in the house, but nobody knows who it could be. The new governess (Abby Alderman) tries to be brave, but everyone is uncomfortable around the weird hunchbacked handyman (Brayden Woods) and the mysterious gypsy (Isabelle Quimby). Could the deceitful lawyer (Cassidy Chenal) be part of the problem? Will the bumbling sheriff (Sven Johnson) be able to protect everyone? Only time will tell, but the grandfather clock hasn’t worked for years. Teddy Vitale, Linda Harmon, Adrianne Covey and Charlie Huehn complete the cast. This is a great family comedy that is appropriate for all ages. Tickets are available at the door, with general admission seating.

The Great American Smokeout BY HALLE PARDUN BURNETT MEDICAL CENTER MARKETING DIRECTOR

I challenge you to quit smoking for one day. It may seem impossible because quitting is a long and hard process but I believe you can do it. You won’t be alone either. Every year on the third Thursday of November (Nov. 16 this year) smokers across the nation take part in the “American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout.” You can use the date to make a plan to quit, or you may plan in advance and quit smoking that day. The Great American Smokeout event challenges you to stop using tobacco and helps you learn about the many tools you can use to quit and to stay smoke free. Without a doubt, it’s hard to quit tobacco but by quitting, within minutes of smoking your last cigarette, your body begins to recover: – 20 minutes after quitting, your heart rate and blood pressure drop. – 12 hours after quitting, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. – 1 to 9 months after quitting, coughing and shortness of breath decrease. – 5 years after quitting, the risk of cancer decreases by 50 percent and the risk of stroke decreases to that of a non-smoker.

Some quick tips to try if you are trying to quit:

A Tribute Gerald Johnson was a faithful member of the Indianhead Barbershop Chorus since the 1960s. Gerald rarely missed a practice in all his years of singing with the chorus. It was Gerald’s goal to be a 50-year member, and though it was a struggle in his last years to always be there, he was determined to make it. It was a joyful day when the chorus honored him with his 50-year plaque. He loved everyone in the chorus and he loved to sing. His rich bass voice was also heard in the church choir for many years at Bethany Lutheran Church near Grantsburg, Wisconsin. His dear wife, Elsie always helped with our show every year. Today we perform our show in memory of a very kind and loving man; our dear brother Gerald, and we pray tribute to a life well lived. - Reprinted from the Indianhead Barbershop Program

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Have you ever seen a dog with porcupine quills in his face? It can be very painful. The poor pooch in the photo arrived this week. We’ve named Ticker, although maybe “Quill” would have suited him better. Ticker was immediately taken to Dr. Tom at Small Town Vets to have the quills removed. I’m happy to report he is doing well and able to eat again. It’s because of Star’s Fund that we are able to provide the necessary medical treatment to sick or injured animals. We have used the fund several times this year, including two dogs with quills, surgeries for two dogs that had been hit by vehicles and others with health-related issues. If you would like to donate to our Ticker Star’s Fund, that would be great! See address information at the end of this column. Did you know that November is Adopt-a-Senior Pet Month? What better way to kick it off than featuring our most senior resident which just happens to be a 12-year-kitty named Talulah! This beautiful gal was a surrender due to the health of her owner, which can be very difficult for both the person and the animal. Despite no longer being at the only home she has known, Talulah is doing remarkably well. She is playful, affectionate and enjoys having her beautifully soft, tortoiseshell fur brushed. Talulah has been well cared for so is adorably on the pudgy side. Her front paws have been declawed so she is a strictly indoor kitty who is easy going with a lot of love to give – maybe that would be you? Talulah We had a couple other strays this week including a very cute red hound mix that was found at Clemonson Trailer Park in Siren. The other stray is a beautiful female St. Bernard mix found in the area of Country Road A and Mallard Lake Road in Jackson Township. If you know anyone missing a dog fitting these descriptions, please let them know they are safe with us at the shelter. On adoptions, kitten Carmela left for her new home as did Chucky the Chihuahua. We are caring for other cats and dogs, so if you’re looking for that perfect companion we just may have who you’re looking for. Quote: “We can stop the cycle of animal homelessness and save lives by opening our hearts and homes to a loving cat or dog from an animal shelter instead of buying animals from breeders or pet shops.” Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, Don’t Shop”!

Fun guys in the fen

EMILY STONE

Namekagon Fen: The Namekagon Fen (bog) is home to a beautiful diversity of plants, animals, insects, and fungi. BY EMILY STONE, NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

None of us had rubber boots handy, so when we came to the log bridge across the moat we took off our shoes and went barefoot. I enjoyed the firm roughness of the decorticated log on my soles, and then the cool squish of the sphagnum moss in the floating mat as I stepped into the magical world of the fen. I love bringing appreciative people into the Namekagon Fen, and my companions on this day were wonderful. Peter Kennedy is an associate professor at the University of Minnesota, and had just given a talk called “Knee deep in peatland fungi: Mycorrhizal community diversity and composition in fens and bogs of the Northwoods.” He’d already been to one nearby bog as part of the North American Mycological Association’s annual foray, held this year at Lakewoods Resort near Cable, but when I offered to show him a giant fen as well, his eyes lit up. As I gave some final instructions to my volunteers at the information desk, and prepared to play hooky from the foray for a couple hours, Michael Beug walked up with his camera. Michael is a professor at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. Back in the day, he teamed with the college’s ornithologist to study the impact of DDT on calcium transport in birds, and this work played a major role in getting the pesticide banned. He and Peter met during Peter’s undergraduate studies. They started chatting, and soon Michael went off to grab his camera so he could join us. So there I was, ankle deep in cold, wet sphagnum with two PhDs who were talking a mile a minute about shared experiences and recent news, with occasional breaks to point out neat things in the fen. Waving his hand over a patch of dead sphagnum moss, which looked bleached and scraggly compared to the velvety-red living moss beside it, Michael informed me that it was killed by a fungus. He poked around for a bit, hoping to find the delicate, pink mini-mushroom forms of Roseodiscus sp. No luck. I offered up the impressive fact that my previous explorations had revealed this fen to be over 40 feet deep, with the bottom still out of reach of our current tools. We also found pitcher plant leaves, a tiny frog, a few late-blooming bog laurel flowers, a couple of red-orange waxy cap mushrooms, and a tiny white pine seedling growing out of a sphagnum hummock. Without hesitation, Peter dove elbow-deep in the moss, following the white pine’s stem down to its roots, and out to the fine roots to look for mycelia. Tree roots aren’t actually that great at directly acquiring the water and nutrients they need. Most, but not all, plants have instead cultivated a symbiotic relationship with fungi in the soil. A web of thread-like fungal mycelia

connects with the tree’s roots to bring it water, minerals, nitrogen, phosphorus, and even protection from pathogens. In return, the tree feeds the fungi sugars it produces through photosynthesis. As Peter described in his talk, this mycorrhizal (fungus-root) relationship is important in bogs and fens because they are especially challenging, low-nutrient environments. We replanted the tree (although lack of mycelia suggested it didn’t have much of a chance), and wandered some more. We were almost back at the bridge when things got even better. I pointed out a little black spruce grove where orchids bloomed in July. We wandered in. Michael plunged his hand into the sphagnum, and brought up a handful of wiry black spruce roots— their finest tips neatly capped by a white sheath of fungal mycelia. These trees were thriving with the help of mycorrhizal fungi. Then the guys spotted some big brown mushrooms. “Hebelomas,” Michael called them. “They’re boring mushrooms nobody looks at,” Michael told me, but his friend Henry Beker from the University of London just finished the monograph on the European Hebelomas, so Michael wanted to help him document the ones here, too. They may be mycorrhizal, which makes them interesting to me. As Michael was stooped over his tripod getting the drab, brown mushrooms in focus, Peter happened to see something else between his feet. I couldn’t even begin to understand what they were exclaiming over until Peter brought up a small clump of sphagnum moss for me to see closer. Clusters of miniature mushrooms bejeweled the mess, and their white bodies glowed in the sunlight like frosted glass ornaments. Neocudoniella radicella: this little mushroom is found in sphagnum bogs where black spruce rootlets turn up out of the soggy mat to get air. It was a “lifer” for Michael, a mushroom he’d never seen before. “The fact that I knew it existed in a place that is incredibly beautiful and magical made it an object of desire,” he later told me. A little handful of the gems went into Peter’s collecting basket, and eventually made its way through the vouchering process in the basement of Lakewoods. One last hurrah came that evening during announcements. Our tiny gems had been chosen by the mycologists as the “find of the day”! That was nice, of course, but there was nowhere to write on the voucher form that the fen where these mushrooms grew was filled with bare toes squishing the sphagnum, joy bubbling up in the sunshine, old friends reconnecting their bonds, and new friends sharing an adventure. The fen is filled with treasure! For 50 years, the Cable Natural History Museum has served to connect you to the Northwoods. Come visit us in Cable!

Northwest Passage staff named ‘Master Watershed Stewards’

WEBSTER—Northwest Passage is excited to announce its commitment to providing a topnotch environmentally based, project centered education to its clients has been bolstered further this week. Experiential coordinator Ian Karl, was inducted into the first ever, certified Master Watershed Stewards in the St. Croix Watershed as a part of the St. Croix Master Watershed Stewards Certificate Program (SCMWS). According to the project director, Patricia Mueller, “this pilot project was made possible by an EPA Environmental Education Grant, one of three awarded in the nation in the fall of 2015.” She went on to describe the efforts that went into the last two years as the 30 participants worked toward their certification. “During the past two years, adults from Minnesota and Wisconsin participated in day long learning sessions taught by a diverse group of faculty in watershed ecology, active citizenship, leadership and integrating the arts.” Karl participated in eight months of coursework and

worked with Northwest Passage kids to design and build an on-grounds rain garden; his final capstone project. Mueller went on to say, “Projects have been implemented throughout our almost 8,000 square mile watershed, from Solon Springs to Prescott, Sandstone to Hastings, Forest Lake to River Falls, and many places in between.” Ian and his fellow cohort are ready to continue their work to increase the stewardship ethic and activities in our watershed. The St. Croix River was one of the original eight rivers designated as a Wild and Scenic in 1968. Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the designation and Mueller says that “plans are forming to begin a new cohort of adult learners later in 2018 to ensure that the St. Croix watershed is healthy for generations to come.” If you’re interested in working to “improve the health of our watershed and educate others on how to be wise stewards of our amazing water resource,” you can find more information online at their website: stcroixstewards.org.

Christmas comes to Forts Folle Avoine ‘Carol of the Voyageurs’ theme BY NANCY MEINDEL

“Grammy, remember when you took us to the North Pole last year to see Santa Claus? Will you bring us again this year?” These were the words from my five-year-old granddaughter who visited Forts Folle Avoine’s “Christmas at the Forts” last December along with her two brothers. She actually believed she was in the magical world of Christmas at the North Pole! It’s easy to understand why. Early each December, Burnett County’s Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park is transformed into a land of Christmas enchantment. In the huge, 100-year-old Visitor Center, guests are entertained with live holiday music while warming by the roaring fireplace, eating lunch in the Wild Rice Cafe, or bidding on beautiful silent auction items donated by Burnett County businesses. Perusing The Forts Gift Shop to purchase treasures to give as Christmas gifts is also a favorite activity. Guests will see two trees donated by the Siren and Webster Lions Clubs decorated in keeping with this year’s theme, “Carol of the Voyageurs,”

SUBMITTED

which was inspired by our area’s fur trading history. At the end of Christmas at the Forts, the trees will be donated to Interfaith Caregivers who will give the trees – with stands, lights and all – to two Burnett County families in need.

Outside, guests can take a sleigh ride through the majestic pines or sip on hot cocoa near a welcoming fire. Children are encouraged to shop in our delightful Elves’ Store (No parents allowed!) for special presents for moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas with

help from Santa’s friendliest elves. They’ll even wrap the presents! After shopping, visitors may wish to stop by the storyteller’s cabin and listen to stories told in a most captivating way. Following the stories, children will be anxious to walk up the

path to the gingerbread house and meet Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus who will make sure each child will come away with a candy cane and a book of their choice, all at no charge. While waiting to talk with Santa, some children may want to have their face painted. New this year, on Saturday, Dec. 9, visitors can vote on an art project submitted by Burnett County fourth grade students from Grantsburg, Siren and Webster. These pictures will depict the theme, “Carol of the Voyageurs.” There will be plenty of photo ops all around the grounds – perhaps even with a voyageur in a birch bark canoe! So, to answer my granddaughter’s question, “Yes, we will definitely go to Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park’s (aka the North Pole) Christmas at the Forts!” We wouldn’t miss it. Christmas at the Forts will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sat-Sun, Dec. 2-3, and same hours on Saturday, Dec. 9. Park admission is free; there is a nominal fee for some activities. Merry Christmas and see you at The Forts.

Pirates advance to State semi-ﬁnals BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—“With the snowfall, the importance of the game and the way our kids played, it made for a very memorable night,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “The team has been grinding since August 1st and it’s a night like that, that makes it all worth it and gives these players something they’ll never forget.” The Pirates defeated the Elk Mound Mounders 40-7 on a wintry, snowy Friday night to advance to the State semi-finals this week. Grantsburg’s defense proved it was up to the task as they shut down the state’s number one rusher, Brady Redwine, holding him to just 111 yards and one touchdown. “Our defense got stronger as the game went on and did a great job on not allowing the big runs that Redwine has had all season,” Hale said. “We had so many guys step up and take their play up a notch making a great team win. Levi Miller did a great job starting at noseguard for the first time all year and Bryce Roufs had his best defensive game of the season.” The defense also forced several Mounder turnovers,

including a couple of fumbles along with two interceptions by John Chenal that the Pirates were able to take advantage of and turn into points. Offensively, the Pirates sputtered a bit in the first half putting up just 12 points. The coach’s halftime talk must have been an inspirational one, as the hometown boys came out fired up and racked up 28 unanswered second half

points to seal the win and extend their season. “Offensively we struggled at times blocking them up front but eventually wore them down and made some holes,” the coach noted. “John and Leo Chenal were both terrific on the ground and Luke Anderson had a couple of great throws at crucial times.” The Mounders received the opening kick, but were unable to move the ball against the smothering Pirate defense and were forced to punt. The kicking game was tricky in the wet, snowy conditions and Grantsburg had great starting field position. Three plays later, Luke Anderson threw a beautiful pass down the middle of the field to John Chenal who shook off one defender and made his way into the end zone for the first score of the night. Jared VanWatermuelen’s extra point attempt was wide right, making it a 6-0 game. The Mounders made their way down the field and eventually scored on a two-yard run by Redwine. The PAT was good giving Elk Mound their only lead of the game at 7-6. The Pirates couldn’t get anything going on their offensive series and were forced to punt. But their defense stood strong, and the first quarter ended with a big quarterback sack by Tyler Stevens to put the Mounders at fourth and long. In the second quarter,

neither team could get things going offensively until late in the quarter when John Chenal tip-toed his way down the sideline 46 yards for the score. The two-point conversion attempt

headed to the locker room with a five point lead. Grantsburg came back on the field determined to finish this game as they shut out the Mounders 28-0 in the second half. The Pirates received the kick off and made their way down the field, picking apart the defense with the offensive line opening up running lanes. Leo Chenal walked into the end zone from two yards out for the first score of the half. He also ran in the two-point conversion to go up 20-7. John Chenal got is first interception of the night on the next series, giving the Pirates the ball back at mid-field. Leo Chenal took off on a long run, deflecting defenders before going out of bounds at the 15 yard line. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Redwine for a late hit out of bounds gave the Pirates first and goal at the seven. A couple of plays later Anderson tossed the ball to an open Leo Chenal for the score. The conversion was no good to make it 26-7 with 1:42 left in the

Mission: Madison – the road to Randall goes through back to back champs Amherst BY BOB ROMBACH WE ARE GRANTSBURG

Only four teams remain in WIAA Division Five. The Pirates are seeking their first-ever state championship appearance. Will this be the year the Pirates hang a new banner from the rafters? The final four • There are two #1 seeds and two #2 seeds remaining in Division 5. • The combined record of the four teams is 46-2 (the two losses were to Division 6 powerhouse, St. Mary’s Springs).

Grantsburg’s opponent: Amherst The Falcons are an incredible football program. In 2010 they went 4-5 and missed the playoffs. Since then they are one of the winningest teams in Wisconsin high school football. Since 2011 the Falcons have: • Amassed an 85-7 record. • Been to the state championship game five times. • Won three state championships, including the past two (2015 & 2016). The head coach, Mark Lusic took over in 2011 when they went 4-5. He even had somebody tell him after that season he should quit then because that was as good as it would get for the program (they had gone 1-9 the previous year). Good thing Mr. Lusic didn’t take that advice. After last year’s championship, the coach was awarded WSAW’s coach of the year honor.

Other notes:

• #3 Quarterback Marcus Glodowski is 23rd in rushing yards (1769) and ninth in rushing touchdowns (30) in the state. • #52 Bryce Holderman averages 7.3 yards per carry and is also their leading tackler with 90 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. • #5 Kicker/Wide Receiver Carter Zblewski is 54 of 64 on point after attempts and is one for one in field goals. As a receiver he is the Falcons top target catching 25 balls for 542 yards and eight touchdowns. • As a team, the Falcons average 8.8 yards per rush and give up 3.8 yards per rush.

Grantsburg The Pirates have had a lot of success the past three seasons. Ending their season to eventual state champs Regis (level 3) last year and St. Mary’s Springs (level 4) the year before as well as their undefeated season this year. This recent success for the Pirates hasn’t been matched since the 1977 and 1978 seasons when the Pirates made it to the State Semifinals (playoffs were much different back then as only four teams made the playoffs and there were only three divisions). In 1977 the Pirates lost to Osseo-Fairchild by 7 and in 1978 to Westby by one with an 8-7 final score. If you listen hard enough you can

the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association. • John is named as an inside linebacker and running back, Leo is named as an inside linebacker and utility player. • #33 Running back John Chenal is fifth in the state in rushing yards with 2209 yards and fourth in touchdowns with 35. • #11 Quarterback Luke Anderson averages around 95 yards passing per game and has 14 touchdown passes this season. • #5 RB/WR Leo Chenal averages 11 yards per carry and has 10 rushing touchdowns. He also averages 20 yards per reception with seven touchdowns on 18 receptions.

Final thoughts Even matchup The two teams look to be very evenly matched. Take a look at these comparisons: Quarterback Player Att. Comp.

• As a team, the Falcons average just under 100 yards passing per game and give up about 72 yards passing per game. • They win by an average score of 45-9. • The Falcons’ lone loss was to St. Mary’s Springs, 14-13.

This one will come down to turnovers. These two teams look so evenly matched and it’s strength against strength. Both teams have incredible running games, very good passing games, and awesome defenses. Expect a game in the twenties with the outcome decided by less than a touchdown. The forecast calls for cold weather, but unlike the past two Friday nights, snow and wind will not be much of a factor. If Grantsburg can hold onto the ball (as they have done all season) we predict a Pirate victory and a trip to Camp Randall Stadium next week.

Final score prediction: Grantsburg 23 – Amherst 22.

youngest Chenal, Gabe, who took off for the end zone and the score. The two-point conversion failed, but the hometown boys were up 32-7 with 10:17 left in the game, and the Pirate faithful were starting to feel a little more relaxed. Grantsburg’s stingy defense shut down the Mounders again, and the Pirates lit up the scoreboard once more on a 12 yard run by Leo Chenal with John running in the conversion to make it a 40-7 game. The Pirates tallied 349 total yards of offense — 228 on the ground and 121 in the air. John Chenal had 131 yards on 19 carries, with Leo Chenal adding 72 yards on five tries. Anderson had three carries for 10 yards and Bryce Roufs had 14 hard-fought yards on seven carries. The Chenal brothers were the only receivers on this snowy night with John tallying 92 yards on two catches, one was good for a TD. Gabe had one catch for 24 yards and a touchdown, and Leo had one touchdown catch for five yards. Quarterback Anderson was three for nine for a total of 97 yards. Defensively, John Chenal led the charge with seven solo tackles along with eight assists. Roufs had a big night, making his presence felt with three solos and seven assists. Leo Chenal had five solos with four assists including some massive hits that left the Mounders very slow to get up. Levi Miller had an impressive night with one solo along with seven assists. The Pirates have a huge task in front of them as they face the two-time defending State champs Amherst Falcons in Level 4 action on Friday night. The Falcons are led by quarterback Marcus Glodowski who has 1,121 passing yards and 1,729 rushing yards. “It will be the biggest challenge we’ve had in taking on a state power like Amherst,” Coach Hale said. “They have one of the top programs in the state and we’re excited to get back at it and have the opportunity to play for a trip to Camp Randall.” All games at this level are played at a neutral site, so the Pirates will travel southeast to Stanley-Boyd to take on Amherst. Game time is 7 p.m. Tickets for the game are available at the high school office. There will be a fan bus(s) going to the game. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for students. Call the high school office at 715-463-2531 to sign up. There will also be a pep rally on Thursday morning at 8:18 a.m. for the football team. The public is invited to attend.

More than 50 members of 25 nonproﬁt organizations from Polk and Burnett counties attended a workshop on fundraising and grant writing Friday at the Grantsburg Public Library.

Cold rain, snow delay ﬁeldwork Fieldwork in Burnett County moved slowly last week due to cold, rainy, and overcast conditions. Temperatures were below normal statewide with lows dipping into the 20s. Burnett County and other parts of northern Wisconsin received snow on multiple days, ranging from light flurries to several inches of accumulation in some areas. Ag reporters noted that standing grain moistures were high in both the corn and soybeans. Many producers reported they were waiting for grain moistures to drop before combining, especially in the northern portions of the state. According to the Wisconsin

Crop and Field Conditions report from the USDA, 94 percent of Wisconsin’s corn was reported mature. Corn harvested for grain was 37 percent complete, 14 days behind the average.

Something is ﬁshy ...

For the longest time I thought I was the world’s worst fish cook. I find recipes for fish and I buy a bag of frozen fish, such as cod fillets, and plan on making them later in the week. For whatever reason, I don’t end up cooking the fish and it sits in my freezer. Then, along comes a day when I wonder, “What am I going to make for dinner?” Wild Chow I spot the fish, stuffed in the back Lisa Erickson of the freezer. I pull out some fish recipe, expecting it to taste good after it has been sitting in my freezer for over three months. Crazy? Most of the time when I cook frozen fish, it’s an awful piece of watery tasteless piece of yuck. Turns out, fish is fussy. It is a protein but very different from chicken or red meat. It wasn’t until I studied food science and fully understood what was going on with the frozen fish that I was able to stop the cycle of buying and then delaying eating it. Fish is full of unsaturated fats, which break down faster than saturated fats, like those found in beef. This breaking down, called fat oxidation, makes the fish rancid. It

cannot be prevented. Let me repeat: it cannot be prevented. It can be delayed by wrapping the fish properly and keeping it in the coldest part of the freezer, but ultimately, the fat will breakdown—usually in a few months or less. If that wasn’t enough to deal with, fish also have enzymes, microbes and bacteria on the skin that also break down the fish quickly. You will know if this has happened to your fish by the way it smells—it will smell fishy! The byproducts of the bacteria create the fishy smell. One more thing: some fish, especially cod, are susceptible to denaturation when frozen. That means the proteins break, causing the release of fluids. When the protein bonds break, you’ve got trouble. Cod’s protein bonds are a maze of carefully folded structures. When these unfold, the proteins can now bond with each other. We end up with an inedible squishy fish that can’t hold moisture. The only way to eat a good piece of frozen fish is to eat it right away. My new rule: If I buy frozen fish, we eat it with in a day or two or even the same day. I also check the package date to make sure it is very fresh when I purchased it. As it turns out, I’m not bad at cooking fish after all, just bad at

meal planning. We’ll save that for another column.

Perfectly cooked cod 2 frozen cod fillets, about 1/2 lb. ** Salt to taste 2-3 Tbsp. butter Thaw fish according to the package instructions. Dry the fish with a paper towel. Lightly oil the bottom of a nonstick frying pan with olive oil and place over a medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, salt the cod and place it in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is nicely golden brown and crisp. Carefully turn the cod over and cook for a 2–3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet or loin. If it is thin, cook it for a shorter amount of time. The fish is cooked when the flesh becomes white and has lost its grayish color. Add the butter to the pan. Allow it to melt and sizzle, then spoon it over the cooked fish. Serve immediately. **Fresh fish is always the better choice if available.

The Jelly Cupboard

A good piece of solid furniture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t everyone have at least one theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held onto for years? My mother keeps an old heavy dresser. Other people love their old stuffed, oversized, woodframed and footed chairs. Solidly built china cabinets, too, are impressive Newbie in and popularly held pieces. the NorthRemembered fondly is the woods day my jelly Lori Callahan cupboard came. Ordered from the J.C. Penney catalog, it was $60-some dollars and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the man in brownâ&#x20AC;? brought the box inside the door. That was a substantial household purchase then for a young family. At that time, our second year living on the North Shore of Lake Superior, much was ordered from catalogs by phone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; landline phone. A sole Ben Franklin store in the Grand Marais community offered only the barest necessities, school and office supplies, and toys. One needed to travel either to Duluth, 110 miles one way, or up to Thunder Bay, Ontario, nearly as far, to shop otherwise. The currency exchange rate was not in our favor then and Duluth was the usual spring, summer and fall choice. Such trips were avoided during winter altogether. That was before they cut through the mountain and put in a traffic tunnel on Hwy 61. Back then, it was a narrow, sharp and hairy curve on the mountainside perched high above Lake Superior. The low guard rail seemed insignificant. Meeting a semi truck on that curve was frightening; and there were many of them since the remoteness required

everything be trucked in and Hwy 61 was the only route up the North Shore. Back when I was 22, J.C. Penny was the first to extend credit to me. It was a $400 limit and I used it carefully. The tiny home we lived in didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accommodate large furniture and had few kitchen cupboards. Eyeing that jelly cupboard pictured in the catalog, I knew it was perfect. It measured 48â&#x20AC;? high x 20â&#x20AC;? wide and 12â&#x20AC;? deep. Its construction was all wood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no pressed board junk or laminates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; brass-toned metal hardware and opaque white-glass handles on the sole drawer at the bottom and the front cabinet door hiding three interior shelves. It was a beautiful piece. It was functional, too. When it arrived, with delight I unboxed it revealing a fully assembled, standing cupboard. In no time, it was placed and filled. Over the years, it sometimes occupied the kitchen; at other times it acted as a compact disc and book holder in the dining or living room. More than once, it was a sweater holder in the bedroom. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a used piece, though not in terrible shape by any means. There are a few nicks and scratches and one time a heavy framed painting fell off the wall, gouging out a small chunk on its top edge. I look at these imperfections as a timeline and each signifies a time, a place, an occasion or mishap during my adult life. Today, the jelly cupboard holds cookbooks and candles, note paper and flashlights, and a jumble of other miscellaneous items. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back in the kitchen where it started. The funny thing about that jelly cupboard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it never held jelly. That goes in the fridge. And, nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saving a refrigerator for their kids.

The greatest of these is Love

Pastor Mike Peterson Faith Lutheran Church

My nephew is a senior at Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High School. Last May he lost a good friend, Owen, in an airplane accident. Last week he lost a good friend, Natalie, when her momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-husband shot her. His first words to his grandma after this last loss were, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this has to stop.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; As an uncle and a parent my heart aches for our children as they face the nastiness of this world. On one hand I want them to be aware and prepared for the challenges they will face when we launch them into adulthood. But there is a point at which we

all want to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this has to stop.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; There is a point at which we all cry for peace from loss, suffering and grief. Where do we find peace? Believers say we find peace in Jesus. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not escapism. We call Jesus the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Prince of Peaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but he said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to bring peace, but a sword. That is often confusing. The cross on which he died confuses us. It was hardly peaceful and it certainly does not represent an escape from reality. But it is a reminder to us that God does not shrink from the nastiness of our world. In fact, God, through Jesus,

chose to enter the nastiness so that he could show us the true nature of love. I think of God as that loving parent who looked at our world, full of fighting and selfishness and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this has to stop.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So he sent Jesus. So how do we prepare our children to face their unique futures? My best answer: show them the love that God intended for them when he knit them together in their motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womb. Remember, these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is Love.

REGIONAL HOSPICE HONORS VETERANS

NOVEMBER 8, 2017

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

Regional Hospice recognizes veterans In honor of Veterans Day, Regional Hospice Services would like to thank the men and women who have and are serving our country. In partnership with the We Honor Veterans program, Regional Hospice Services offers a very special recognition to their Military Veteran patients. We Honor Veterans, a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), invites hospices and other organizations to focus on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgment of our Veterans’ service. Regional Hospice services proudly offers our Military Veteran patients a visit from one of our dedicated Military Veteran volunteers. These visits are not only meaningful to our patients and their families, but also to our Veteran volunteers. Each patient is presented with a framed certificate and a pin to commemorate and thank them for their military service. Patients are respectfully asked questions regarding their military service and are encouraged to talk about those experiences. Many stories have been told, some that family members have never heard. It is believed that by the telling of these stories, a sense of closure can be found. Individuals can find peace in their past military life. Or they can relive the comradery that only a solider knows. Regional Hospice Services would like to recognize and thank their Military Veteran Volunteers for the Spooner/Grantsburg team. They are: Dennis Blodgett, Jim Dienstl, Larry O’Connell, Lisa Powers, Tom Powers, Harry Regan, Russ Susag and Garey Wynn. Any Military Veteran interested in volunteering for this very rewarding program may call our Spooner office for more information. 715-635-9077.

Veterans Day Supper Saturday, November 11 • 5 p.m. American Legion Hall • Grantsburg All Grantsburg area veterans and their families welcome A message from Brask - Fossum - Janke American Legion Post #185 Veterans Day, originally called Armistice Day, the only American holiday created to remember a specific moment in time. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954 signed legislation designating November 11 as Veterans Day. America’s veterans have served well. We must honor and care for those who distinguished their lives in the defense of freedom. And thank the 26 million living veterans who have served their nation so well in war and peace. We must also remember another important group - the MIAs missing in action but not missing from our hearts. God bless America and those who love, guard and defend our precious freedom.

Meet at the Gandy Bar and either walk or ride to the Yellow Lake Lutheran Church, Tenth Hole, Ike Waltons, Yellow Lake Lodge and Sweeny’s.

I OWE YOU!

Just as I came looking for you, now you can contact me.
