Crime spree lands Danbury man in prison BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Law enforcement officials and residents alike can take a collective sigh of relief after a serial burglar was sentenced to prison last week in Burnett County Circuit Court. Eugene D. Songetay, or “Duckie,” as he was known to acquaintances, 43, Danbury, was sentenced to 16 years behind bars and 13 years extended supervision for a crime spree which began in July 2011 and last more than four years. “He was like a mastermind of burglaries,” Sheriff Ron Wilhelm said in the wake of the sentencing. “I can’t tell you all the stuff he stole. The guy would steal anything — he’d

even steal from the dump.” There’s no way to put a price tag on everything he stole, but the court tried when, as part of the verdict against him, Judge Ken Kutz assessed restitution against Songetay in the amount of $66,000. “We connected him to 36 burglaries,” Julie Mead, the lead Burnett County Sheriff Department detective on the Songetay case. “He would elaborately conceal his stolen items.” The sheriff said he was amazed at what his department collected when they started executing search warrants. “We actually had to rent a semi trailer to house all the stolen goods we recovered SEE PRISON, PAGE 7

Another continuance in Blake case BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—It was scheduled as a final pre-trial for Michelle Blake, a final court appearance by the prosecutor and the defense to get all their motions heard and tie up other loose ends before the case heads to trial. However, word around the courthouse Monday morning was that she was set to enter a plea and avoid a trial. Blake is the former secretary/bookkeeper for St. John the Baptist Church and Sacred Hearts Church in Webster and A&H from

Oct. 2010 to Sept. 2013, and. She allegedly had written 47 checks to herself from the St. John the Baptist’s checking account totaling $42,959.61 and 30 checks from the Sacred Heart’s checking account totaling $34,904.22. Court records also indicate unauthorized withdrawals from the church checking accounts plus unauthorized charges against church credit cards totaled $128,000.

WEBSTER—Thursday was moving day for the house built by the students in the Webster High School’s Tiger Construction class. What started as a dream for Tech Ed Teacher Roy Ward was fully realized when the completed house was moved from school property.

G’burg man sentenced in arson case BY JESSICA DE LA CRUZ AMERY FREE PRESS

BALSAM LAKE—Polk County Judge Molly GaleWyrick sentenced a Grantsburg man Monday to spend the next five years in prison for his role in the jealousy-fueled burglary and then arson of a former coworker’s home. The crimes stem from a workplace friendship that eventually turned sour during a party at the home of Eugene P. Ferguson, 50, of Grantsburg. According to the criminal complaint, the victim, who worked with Ferguson at Burnett Dairy Coop, first made a report to police on November 12, Eugene Ferguson 2015, when she arrived at her Frederic residence to three broken windows and a back door that had been kicked in. Her second complaint happened the very next day, when she awoke to discover her detached garage on fire. The fire department determined the blaze was intentionally set using an accelerant. The victim named Ferguson as someone who might possibly want to hurt her. She and Ferguson had been workplace friends until he became jealous of her and another man, according to reports. An uncomfortable working relationship and threatening texts followed, which compelled the victim to talk to human resources. She told human resources that the situation was so terrible she felt she could no longer work for the dairy. Ferguson was advised that if any further harassment occurred he would be terminated. Authorities were able to piece together clues about the accelerant used at the scene and determined that it came from an area of the dairy where Ferguson worked unsupervised, leading them back to Ferguson for questioning and eventual arrest. On November 18, 2015, Ferguson was charged with two counts of arson and one count each of burglary, 1st degree reckless endangerment and criminal damage to property. Earlier this summer, a jury found Ferguson guilty on both counts of arson and burglary. Ferguson’s attorney, Dan Firkus, motioned for a new trial in June, citing the case’s similarities with another Polk County arson for which charges were filed in April. In that case, the confessed perpetrator used similar methods and was arrested near the home of Ferguson’s victim. In August, GaleWyrick denied that request for a new trial, but did concede to Firkus’ request for a new pre-sentence investigation on his client’s behalf. Ferguson had no prior criminal history in Wisconsin leading up to the event. Monday GaleWyrick sentenced Ferguson to 10 years for each count of arson, five years incarcerated and five years of extended supervision, to be served concurrently. GaleWyrick stayed the sentence of 7½ years probation for the burglary charge, which he will avoid if he does not violate the conditions of his first five years probation.

Ground turned on casino Phase II BY BILL THORNLEY SPOONER ADVOCATE

HERTEL—Phase two of the St. Croix Chippewa Indians’ economic development initiative got underway on a sunny Friday when ground was broken in Hertel for the new St. Croix Casino Hertel Complex. The groundbreaking ceremony took place at 10 a.m., attended by many tribal members, invited dignitaries and members of the St. Croix Tribal Council. Located along Hwy. 70 between Spooner and Hertel, the new casino complex will tap into the high traffic flow on the highway. Senior Intergovernmental Affairs Specialist Michael J. Decorah offered a welcome and opening statement. With the current Little Turtle Hertel Express in the background and a beehive of activity as workers prepared ground for the current complex, Decorah reflected on what the tribe has accomplished on the sight in the recent past. “Twenty years we’ve had this property here, and the things that it has done for this community go beyond words,” said Decorah. “The added jobs, the education in training for these roles as managers and directors, the integrity to be part of what is going on as we start to build on something bigger.” Decorah went on to explain the high points of the new complex. “With the new St. Croix Complex, we’re talking about redoing the casino, updating it,” said Decorah. “We’re adding to the gas station, the convenience store, we’re putting in a truck stop that’s going to have tremendous amenities for the travelers out there and our truckers who haul so many things. “We’re going to have a 16-stall RV park here, picnic tables, fire rings – it’s going to be great. And also, an outdoor amphitheater, we’re talking 650 seats, a stage and power supply. That’s going to help tremendously with the economy here.” The groundbreaking in Hertel is the second for the St. Croix Tribal Economic Development Initiative. The first, held in Siren, was for the first phase of the project, which includes the Fourwinds Market Complex, a 23,000 square foot full-service grocery store, a 3,000 square foot

Among other dignitaries addressing the crowd was longtime St. Croix Tribal leader and current Tribal Chairman Lewis Taylor. “I want to thank the casino staff and tribal employees,” said Taylor. “We’ve always had success with our gaming operations, and today we’re going to expand to take advantage of the traffic flow that goes through Hwy. 70. This is a major thoroughfare across Northwestern Wisconsin. There are 33,000-some cars that travel it every day. “This is the start of the future. It’s amazing how we as Native people can now manage our own affairs. We have a goal and a commitment to achieve that goal — I say from my heart, I’m proud of my people. I’ve been a leader for many, many years and have seen a lot of division, a lot of criticism. But today I can say I’m thankful to be a St. Croix member, and proud of it.” Joining Taylor at the front table were St. Croix Tribal Council members Crystal Peterson, Vice Chairwoman; Stuart Bearheart, Secretary/Treasurer; Jay Emery, representative from the Sand Lake Community; and Carmen Bugg, representative from the Round Lake Community. Dignitaries attending the event included State Senator Sheila Harsdorf, State Representative Nick Milroy and State Representative Adam Jarchow. The contractor for the new St. Croix Casino Hertel Express will be Ed Martin of Martin Woodstone, a Wisconsin company. Burnett County Board of Supervisors ChairmanDon Taylor also offered comments at the event. “Burnett County is a strong supporter of the tribe and its endeavors to move forward,” said Taylor. “The tribe employs a lot of people at the facilities they’ve built and are building now. “They are now the largest employer in Burnett County, and we’re happy to support their efforts as they move forward. This is real progress made by people who are thinking ahead.”

So began decades of stories recounting the personal joys and challenges of a family broadly representative of the countless small farms that dotted the midwestern landscape in the early twentieth century. After reading from her work, DeLuca will address the importance of preserving personal and family history, offering suggestions for accomplishing this goal. She hopes the audience will participate in a lively discussion.

Autumn is upon us

The start of another school year, the Minnesota State Fair, Friday night lights (high school football), the start of the NFL season — all harbingers of what’s to come. But before we get to the dreaded season, we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor — or to be more precise, the fruits and vegetables of our labor. For a couple of weeks now I have been enjoying apples from our trees. Earlier this summer, we were enjoying tomatoes from our tomato patch and green beans from our single bean plant — not an easy feat given how those roots like to replicate. Lately, our fall raspberries have gotten to the stage where they are ripe for the taking, but Seems to fortunately, not all at the same time. Me So, last weekend, whilst painting some trim on the garage, I’d Todd Beckmann snag the occasional raspberry. And what about eggs? We buy eggs from local farms where the chickens are out-of-doors and enjoy a natural diet — that’s why the yolks are typically such a vibrant yellow or orange. A night light and a well-insulated hutch will keep the birds laying throughout winter, but what are the poor things going to eat? Foraging in the snow really isn’t an option. I guess chicken farmers have to resort to packaged feed. We have about five or six weeks left in the farmers market season — a sad state of affairs to be sure. The market comes to Siren at 1 p.m. on Saturdays, comes to Grantsburg at noon on Mondays and again at 2 p.m. on Fridays, and stops in Alpha at 3 p.m. on Thursdays. The wife and I load up on fresh produce every Saturday in Siren, and by Monday we are usually in need of some replacements. Last week, the vendors must have been celebrating Labor Day, as there was no market in Grantsburg on Monday. So, we had to make our produce last until we could get to the market on Thursday. I took the closure in stride and told myself it was good practice for when the markets shut down for the season. “Why not just go to the grocery?” you may rightfully ask. That’s the option we use the other nine months of the year. We want to take full advantage of the fruits (and vegetables) of the labor of our farmer vendors during the late summer. In fact, because it is September, we have to switch to squirrel-mode — you know, storing goodies now so we have plenty to feast on when there’s a foot of white stuff on the ground. I haven’t taken the leap of learning how to can, so for now, we clean and freeze. That works well for apples and raspberries, but for tomatoes and peppers — not so much. Of course, maybe not having tomatoes throughout the winter is a good thing? Everyone knows you can’t find a tomato that tastes like a tomato in winter — maybe that’s why they are so popular now. Knowing the end is coming helps me appreciate the markets, but I can’t help think there’s got to be another way around the inevitable — but for some reason, I don’t think hibernation is an option as we wait for the 2017 farmers market season.

Remembering the Eleventh Sunday was the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. As I write these words, I am drawn back in time to where I was when I heard the first confusing news accounts of a plane that had struck one of the towers at the World Trade Center. I imagine you are doing the From the same. Publisher’s The terror attacks of Sept. Desk 11 are etched into Tom Stangl our collective subconscious at a level reserved for a select few moments in time. In my opinion, the assassination of President John Kennedy and the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese are among the other events that reside in that level of community memory. For me, I woke up that day and prepared to attend my father’s funeral. The Chief had died on Sept. 8 and his funeral was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 11. We stayed at a hotel and took the family to McDonald’s for breakfast, where I saw live coverage of the burning

tower. No one really knew what was going on, but the feelings of fear and tension were tangible. As we made the half hour drive to the church, radio reports told us about the second plane striking the other tower. The priest who performed my father’s funeral did a good job with the service, adding the events of the day to the prayers we made for the Chief’s soul. The military services at the grave site and the three-volley salute took on a different feeling for me. After the luncheon, I spent some time with relatives before saying goodbye to my siblings and heading home. As I made the 90-minute drive home, I recall seeing lines at gas stations in every community. When I stopped at a station, I saw a person filling up a 55-gallon drum with gasoline. The anxiety and tension were palpable in the station. In the decade and a half since that beautiful sunny September day, our lives have changed in numerous ways. We fought two wars, and continue to fight in Afghanistan. Personal liberties have been curtailed and taking a commercial airline flight is forever changed. It is important that we remember the eleventh of September, as

well as the sacrifices so many have made in the last 15 years. Understanding and dealing with the root cause of the attack has proven to be more elusive, but we must continue to work to resolve our differences – peacefully if possible, but with force if necessary. The war that began on Sept. 11, 2001 has been unlike any other war we have waged in our history. Our nation’s need for quick resolution and destruction of an identifiable enemy has not been satisfied in this conflict. We cannot and must not be forced to live in constant fear, something we have been doing for far too many years already. We need to make our elected officials justify why they need to monitor our conversations and communications. If we slide into tyranny disguised as protection, we have become our enemy’s equal. Not something we should aspire to or accept. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Financial support of politicians To the Editor: We receive flyers in the mail, e-mails and phone calls from political candidates asking everyday taxpayers for money to support their cause or position. Media hype and advertising claim truths about a particular candidate or cause; however, upon closer inspection, when such information is fact-checked, many of such claims prove to be false. Do not waste our mind-share with information that is not factual. This, to me, is disturbing. Rarely is there admittance of wrongdoing, correction of information, or apology. We require those running for office to serve us; to give us their thoughts on what the problems are, and what their proposed solutions look like. How do they propose their solutions to get passed into acceptance? National media and TV information bursts are fairy tales. We are thankful for our local newspapers that have the most factual information available to us, with reporters and editors who give it their best efforts to see that we get the best truth available. When did we shift and allow character assassination to become the American way? The biggest, strongest and wealthiest usually take front page and dictate our reality, regardless of the truth. Please, no more sleazy, back-stabbing, cork-screwing and dirty-digging tools to intimidate people and/or destroy reputations. (A line from an old Frank Sinatra movie.) Rich Hess Trade Lake

Jeff Peterson update To the Editor: Has anyone else noticed that Jeff

Peterson’s politics are a little out of step with our corner of Wisconsin? A couple weeks ago, Peterson participated in a radio debate with Republican Representative Adam Jarchow. It was a call-in style debate, so I called in. I asked about each candidate’s position on the recent order by the Obama administration requiring every school district in the country to allow students to use the bathroom of their “gender identity” as opposed to their biological gender. Peterson’s response was that Obama’s “dictate” (Peterson’s word, not mine) was “well intended” and that we all need “sensitivity training.” I repeat, Peterson’s position was that instead of allowing schools to decide, we all need sensitivity training. Jarchow expressed his opposition to the mandate as yet another Obama federal overreach. Later in the program, another caller asked whether Peterson would have supported the Right to Hunt Act that Adam Jarchow got passed and signed into law. This law was meant to address hunters who had been experiencing harassment by a group led by a convicted eco-terrorist. Peterson said he would have opposed it. Now this one is really interesting, because that bill passed with broad bi-partisan support. It passed the Senate committee unanimously, with even liberal Democrat Kathleen Vinehout voting yes. In the Assembly, it passed committee with only one no vote - from a liberal Madison representative. Then it passed on the floor of both houses with little debate on a voice vote. Yet Peterson says he would have opposed it. Finally, Peterson called for raising taxes on local manufacturers and farmers by repealing an important job-creating tax credit. This position is, of course, consistent with his record while on the

county board where he voted for a 13 percent tax increase in one year. Peterson has demonstrated that he is simply too extreme for us to elect to represent us. R J Hartung Dresser

Who is looking out for you and me? To the Editor: I just opened my email from Congressman Duffy’s weekly “Trumpet Solo.” This week he is bragging about chairing a House committee investigating the recent arms agreement with the Iranians. Congressman Duffy was shocked, shocked I tell you, that officials that he interviewed could not completely guarantee that none of the $1.7 billion dollars released to the Iranians would not go to financing terrorism. Shocked that $1.4 billion of taxpayer money went to free U.S. prisoners in Iran. “Ransom,” he called it. Out and out ransom! I, for one, am glad that he is finally taking a moral stand on hostage-taking and ransom! Why, I remember a few short years ago Congressman Duffy and his Republican colleagues shut down the whole United States of America government and threatened the world economy with debt default if President Obama didn’t give in to their cut-throat budget. That cost the U.S. taxpayers $24 billion. It closed the National Parks. It threatened our military families with vouchers instead of real paychecks. It sounded and felt like hostage-taking to us ordinary citizens. Then, Duffy and the boys made the same threat again. Didn’t work that time either. Now, about Iran not being able to guarantee that U.S. tax dollars will not be used by terrorists.

This is a grave concern from a Congressman who gets financial backing from the NRA and will not even consider legislation that is designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who are on terrorist watch lists. Can he guarantee gun-buying terrorists will not attack us? So much for keeping us safe! So, while our congressman is busy chairing committees and looking for scandals, who is looking out for you and me? Who is going to investigate price gouging by pharmaceutical companies who make campaign contributions? This is a life or death issue for many of us! Who is investigating these same companies when they set up shell headquarters overseas to avoid paying taxes like the rest of us? Who is monitoring the high costs of medical treatment and working to solve the problems? Who is keeping our air and water clean and free of pollution? Who is investigating the fracking earthquakes in Oklahoma? Not Congressman Duffy. It is time for a new tune and a new player. Mary Hoeft is a smart choice for the Seventh Congressional District in November.

Gray Wolves and Adam Jarchow To the Editor: Upon reading the Osceola Sun’s (8/31) front page article on a roundtable discussion confronting Polk County’s increase in methamphetamine use, crime, mental health concerns, joblessness, child protection, domestic abuse, lack of health care and homelessness, I was struck by the photo of our district’s

fenders of this shameless giveaway. We didn’t just create fewer jobs, we lost manufacturing jobs. And, the credit is going to take $209 million of working taxpayers’ money next year and put it in the pockets of wealthy individuals who aren’t using it to create new jobs. Eleven people earning more than $35 million will be handed $21.5 million of your money. The plan isn’t working. It’s time to stop picking working taxpayers’ pockets for this entitlement for the already entitled. Handouts like the Manufacturing Tax Credit are preventing us from making investments in our roads and schools. Those investments would actually grow our economy.

I see by the Sentinel that Siren will not have evening meals until spring. For all of you who have called or asked when you have seen me in the community, I am sorry we have been telling you the evening dinners would start in October. I guess we were misinformed. Also according to the Sentinel, all Burnett County meal sites will be closed on Sept. 30 for annual regional staff training. There will be no congregate dining and no home-delivered meals. Spades winners for the week of Sept. 2 were Doug Harlander, Gerry Vogel, Steve Wenthe, Sue Newberger and John LaFond. Barb Geske got the 9 bid. The traffic in Siren over Labor Day was busy. The Lions yard sale had cars parked on both sides of the highway. The weather held out for the sale. I hope everybody found something they wanted. On Monday, the Lions cleaned up the park. You would never know they had a big sale there. Winners for 500 were Dave Peterson, Doris Knopik, Steve Wenthe, Dwaine Bentley and Jim Anderson. Spades winners were Marlyce Borchert, Steve Wenthe, Virginia Martin, Mary Sicard and Marie Bentley. Be careful driving with all the school children racing for their bus. The kids don’t really look where they are going. Dates To Remember: Sept. 15 – Monthly meeting at 9:30 a.m.

SIREN SENIORS

Wisconsin GOP plan: Tax giveaways for not creating jobs Quarterly numbers released yesterday show that Wisconsin lost 509 manufacturing jobs. For 19 straight quarters, Wisconsin has trailed the nation in total private job creation. That’s every quarter since the first Walker Budget took effect in 2011. My Republican colleagues keep saying that they have a plan for growing Wisconsin’s economy. They’ve been saying it for six years, but simply saying something doesn’t make it true. Take the Manufacturing & Agriculture Tax Credit, which took effect in 2013. “What we’re trying to do is grow jobs, so it’s very much in keeping with that,” Budget Committee Chair Senator Alberta Darling

legislators. Adam Jarchow’s body language betrayed an utter lack of interest in the discussion. This contrasts with his smiling photos on his e-mail newsletters over the last 1-1/2 years, visiting and posing with constituents across the district. At the same time, Adam Jarchow is out in the community shaking hands and posing for pictures, 12 percent of Polk County’s Unity High School students (115) have no permanent home of their own – the highest percentage of homelessness in the state of Wisconsin (according to WI Dept. of Public Instruction). Adam Jarchow’s latest vote-getting endeavor is the promotion and production of a “Great Lakes Wolf Summit.” This rally will most likely harken back to similar meetings taking place 100 years ago – only this will be the promotion of false propaganda and fear-mongering of the Gray Wolf in Wisconsin. The status of the Gray Wolf’s protection will be determined in the current appeal process at the federal level, not by Adam Jarchow and Tom Tiffany. Furthermore, the subtle and notso-subtle signals sent throughout the rally by presenters will only serve to promote the poaching of wolves in Wisconsin, as suggested in recent May 2016 research, “Blood does not buy goodwill: allowing culling increases poaching of a large carnivore.” Whether it be wolves or transgender bathrooms, apparently fear-mongering is easier than tackling the heavy lifting it takes to bring communities, public officials and legislators together to solve the issues that negatively impact our district and all of our lives each day.

Grant applications due Oct. 3 BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

FREDERIC—October 3 is a big day for the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation (NACF) as that is the deadline for applications for the very first round of grants the foundation will be giving away. “We will be granting $1,500,” NACF Foundation Chairperson Renee Nanez said. “It might not seem like a lot, but we’re in it for the long haul — we are all about the need.” She said she wasn’t sure if the money will go toward a single grant or if there’ll be multiple awards. “This is just a start — we are hoping to do this twice a year,” she continued. Even though they are young as an organization and are still in the process of building their endowment fund, Nanez said they wanted to start granting money to help start building awareness of the foundation’s existence. “We want our foundation to help bring the community together,” Nanez explained. “This area is too small and too rural to qualify for

a lot of grants — we’re hoping we can fill that void.” The foundation, which began in 2013, is designed to advance and enrich the qualRenee Nanez ity of life for the people in this area —all of Polk County north of Highway 8, and all of Burnett County. “The grant is open to any non-profit, charity-minded or g a n i z at ion Patti Hurd — like schools, the Connections and More thrift store or the Community Referral Agency (CRA),” Patti Hurd, NACF grant committee member, said. The three parameters for this initial round of grants are health and wellness, education and literacy, and youth and family — meaning the grant application must ad-

dress one of those needs. “The CRA might submit a grant proposal for equipment to use with the families who make use of that agency, for example,” Hurd remarked. “We are hoping people will submit smaller grant amounts so we can help more organizations.” Once Oct. 3 rolls around, the three-member grant committee will review all the requests and make their recommendations to the 10-member foundation board. “I think we have a good, diverse group on the board and we will make the final decision and hope to notify recipients by mid-November,” Nanez pointed out. The next big date then is Dec. 6. “We will be having a ‘Giving Party’ where we hope to have the givers and the recipients face-toface,” she added. The Giving Party is scheduled for the Fireside Room in the Lodge at Crooked Lake in Siren on Dec. 6. For more information, navigate to the foundation’s website at northwestalliancecf.org, email Nanez at hq@northwest alliancecf.org or call 715-386-9490.

dressed the possibility of a continuance. “I have not had the opportunity to go through all of the computer and other electronic devices to see if they may contain exculpatory evidence,” he told the court. “I’m concerned that proceeding to a plea today could be labeled ‘ineffectual counsel’ if this case were to be appealed.” The county’s district attorney had a ready answer. “My preference would be for her to enter a plea today,” Bill Norine told the court. “I’d stipulate a plea withdrawal if exculpatory evidence was uncovered on those devices.” Upon hearing from both sides in the case, Judge Ken Kutz said a continuance is appropriate. October 13 at 10 a.m. is the date and time for the next pre-trial. The crimes, two counts of theft from a business setting in excess of $10,000, are Class G felonies. If convicted, Blake could face up to $25,000 in fines, up to 10 years in prison, or both, per count. A civil case against Blake brought by the plaintiffs in the case, including the Catholic Mutual Group, the St. John the Baptist congregation and the congregation of Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, was settled in February 2015. In the civil matter, in which there is lower burden of proof than in a criminal case, Judge Kutz awarded the plaintiffs $518,000, including $380,000 in punitive damages.

for the time being — it isn’t all sadness, there is a feeling of accomplishment as well.” Accomplishment indeed. The handful of kids in the inaugural Tiger Construction class took a pile of raw materials and converted it into a house. Not that they did it alone.

Skilled workers volunteered their time and talents to advise and mentor the students every step of the way. “I love all the learning experiences the Tiger Construction students had building the house,” Ward exclaimed. In fact, the day didn’t end when the truck with the house aboard left the school.

“I took my class to see where the house was going,” he described. “When we got to Dunham Lake, they were cutting their way to the site — good thing we didn’t build it any wider.” The second rendition of Tiger Construction is set to begin the next house this month. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel Michelle Blake

NEWSLINE Peace in our community prayer service set

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

WEBSTER—An Ecumenical Prayer Service for Peace in our Community and World will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Webster. “Each week our churches pray for peace locally and globally. This service is an opportunity to come together across a variety of denominations in prayerful support of peace,” said United Methodist Pastor Eddie Crise. The service coincides with a day to observe global ceasefire and non-violence, declared by the United Nations General Assembly. Father Mike Tupa, pastor of the area Catholic Churches added “in addition to world peace, the service will include prayers of support for local persons and organizations that work for peace in our community. These include law enforcement, social service agencies, and other efforts that seek to eliminate the causes of violence affecting our families and communities.” Arne Enslin, coordinator of Danbury Area Churches, summarized a discussion concerning the trend of fear, violence and helplessness that seems to be growing in our communities and families. “Because we believe in the power of prayer that multiplies when praying together, this service is planned as a hopeful step toward peace-making and reversing this trend.” The public is invited to this special service at St. John’s, located at 26455 Musky Ave. S. in Webster. It is sponsored by these Danbury area churches: Danbury United Methodist, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Woodland Wesleyan and Yellow Lake Lutheran Church. A period of fellowship and refreshments will follow. For further information, contact Enslin at 715-6567217 or Father Tupa at 715-656-7321.

Grantsburg Village Board approves gate to restrict compost site access GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Village Board voted Monday to add a gate on Gary Street at its intersection with Benson Road on the northwest corner of the village. Gary Street is the road to the village composting, recycling and water treatment facilities. Presently, a gate exists on Gary Street about 1/4 mile south of the Benson Road intersection. However, when the village closes that gate, village employees find garbage, recycling items, stumps, tree limbs and compost dumped at the gate or in the nearby ditches. The village board has often discussed ways to control unauthorized facility use, and decided to add the gate and large posts on both sides to block vehicles from entering the site when the gate is locked. The recycling site is open on Saturday mornings. During business hours, village residents will be able to check out a key at the village office to get access to the compost, brush, leaf and stump disposal sites. They may also access the compost site during recycling hours on Saturday mornings.

from one search warrant,” Wilhelm pointed out. Detective Mead said the connection between law enforcement and Songetay began when he was convicted of methamphetamine possession in 2006. “To me, this is a prime example of what addiction to meth will do to a person,” Wilhelm observed. “Selling that stolen property for money to buy more drugs.” Songetay appeared to stay on the right side of the law until 2011, when his four-year crime spree began. It started with criminal trespass and burglary to theft and receiving stolen property, possession of methamphetamine, THC and drug paraphernalia, and operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent. Detective Mead said Songetay would break into a house or cabin and make himself at home. In one instance, helit a fire in the fireplace before commencing with the robbery. Authorities say there was no rhyme or reason to the items he took, from small hand tools to the ashes of one victim’s dead uncle. Court documents five inches thick laid out all the crimes Son-

tay’s victims read impact witness statements. “The common theme of those statements was how Songetay took away people’s peace of mind — how they now feared other invasions of their privacy,” Mead stated. The court also allowed statements in support of the defendant. “I can’t help but feel bad for his kids,” Wilhelm explained. “The peripheral damage on this family was horrific.” For his part, during his allocution, according to Detective Mead, Songetay apologized to the victims and blamed his troubles on his meth addiction. Did the victims take his apology to heart? “One victim got up and walked out of the courtroom,” Mead offered. Both Wilhelm and Mead said there are other similar burglars in the criminal justice system who should soon face sentencing. “I hope this conviction and sentence will hammer home a message to other petty criminals out there,” Mead concluded. “A lot of teens and 20-year-olds commit what they believe are minor burglaries and don’t get as much as a slap on the wrist. I think they see the crimes as a right of passage.”

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Assembly Republicans outline priorities for 2017

MADISON — Assembly Republican priorities for the 2017 legislative session include providing a laptop computer for every incoming high school student, continuing a University of Wisconsin System tuition freeze and instituting a back-to-school sales tax holiday, they said Wednesday. Nine weeks ahead of the Nov. 8 general election, leaders of the GOP-controlled Assembly outlined their wants at a news conference. Republicans hold a 63-36 majority in the Assembly and are expected to retain control. Much of their agenda, as outlined in a 30-page document, is broad and contains long-held GOP positions and proposals. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he didn’t know what the first bill to be introduced, which is seen as a top priority for the session, would be. The session begins in January. There were some new ideas — like the laptops and passing a law to per-

mit driverless vehicles on the road — while old ideas saw renewed attention. Democratic Assembly Leader Peter Barca, who listened to the nearly hourlong presentation at the back of the room, said: “It was probably the longest press conference in history with the least amount of new ideas brought forward.” Republicans have previously proposed a sales tax holiday on backto-school purchases, but the idea received a boost Wednesday when Gov. Scott Walker got behind it. He said his budget, which will be released early next year, would call for waiving state and local sales taxes on the first weekend of August 2017 and 2018 on school supplies, computers costing less than $750, and clothing items costing less than $75 each. Vos was pressed for details on how Republicans planned to address one of the largest issues awaiting the Legislature: plugging a nearly $1 billion transportation budget shortfall. “We know there is no magic bullet,” Vos said.

Siren to borrow for new ﬁre hall BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—With the floor in and the skeleton of the new building complete, the new Siren Fire Hall is close to being on schedule to open in December. With that opening comes the obligation of the five municipalities which fall under its jurisdiction to pay for the construction. To that end, the Village of Siren Board voted Thursday to borrow up to $200,000 to cover its portion of the expense. Village Clerk Ann Peterson told the trustees the village’s portion amounts to 19 percent of the $1.19 million structure, less grants the Siren Association has received, making the cost roughly $117,000. “We don’t want to borrow exactly $117,000 and then not have enough to pay our portion, if the final numbers come in higher,” she reasoned. “In situations like this, you budget high and hope for low.” The village board members were pleased by “great loan interest numbers” from Community Bank, including less than two percent interest on a fiveyear note. “I’d love to be out-of-debt for this building in five years, but I don’t know if that’s affordable,” Dave Alden, village president, opined. Peterson agreed. I don’t know if five years is realistic,” she said. In the end, the trustees settled on a 10year note for up to $200,000 at 2.4 percent interest. “We don’t need the exact number today,” Peterson expressed. “We just need a place-holder when it comes to the budget.” DIRECT SELLERS The village board, in accordance with an ordinance already on the books, denied a request by a vendor to sell goods, in this case to sell kettle corn, in Crooked Lake Park. “We have to stay consistent,” Alden said. “If we allow one, it’ll never stop.” Village Trustee Jan Hunter agreed. “At some point, it would start to interfere with our businesses,” she said. “It wouldn’t be fair to have someone selling sandwiches, for example, when they don’t pay taxes like Subway does.” She said the village will need to look more closely at its ordinance before next summer. Alden said direct sellers are still able to get permission from private property owners to sell on their property, like Lindy’s Berries does at the Siren Pharmacy. Playing devil’s advocate, Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers said he was in favor of the request. “From a safety point of view, it’d be easier to have them all in one location rather than spread throughout the

Jan Hunter

village,” he pointed out. “Plus, if we charged them some nominal fee for a license, it’d be a little revenue for the village.” But member Rick Engstrom kind of brought the discussion to an end. “I think it’d be a pain in the $#@,” he voiced.

In other business: • With the advent of a new fire hall, now is the time to begin assessing new fees — as opposed to waiting until the facility has been open and operating for half a year and saying “Oh, by the way....” With that in mind, the board voted to buy a 4-inch water meter and charge the department an $85 monthly meter fee. “You can still give them water for firefighting for free, but the law state there needs to be a meter at that facility,” MSA Engineer Teresa Anderson shared with the trustees. Peterson was nodding her agreement. “It’d be a way for us to recoup our costs,” she added. “Recalibration of the unit, record-keeping of the amount of water used for fires, that sort of thing.” • The board also set $250 per month as a fee for outdoor maintenance of the new hall — including snowplowing, mowing the grass and collecting garbage. “The village absorbs these costs at the current hall, but the new hall is a lot bigger — it’ll take more time,” Public Works Director Jaskolka remarked. Alden said the five municipalities can share the cost and will be able to budget accordingly if they have a set monthly fee. “I think it’s now or never,” he said. • The board contracted with MSA for up-to $8,000, for a three-phase plan regarding the phosphorous, copper and zinc output of the village’s waste water treatment plant. The board also approved a water and or sewer forgiveness policy.

Wisconsin Supreme Court to hear open records case MADISON (AP) — An open records case being fought by Attorney General Brad Schimel will go before the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday. The Republican who positions himself as a strong advocate of transparency and regularly holds training sessions for government officials on the open meetings and records laws, is appealing to keep secret a pair of law enforcement training videos made when he was working as the Waukesha County District Attorney. The Wisconsin Democratic Party sued in 2014, weeks before Schimel was elected Attorney General, to force the state Justice Department to release the videos made in 2009 and 2013. Democrats say the videos show Schimel making question-

able remarks at State Prosecutors Education and Training seminars, sponsored by the department. The lawsuit offered no evidence supporting the allegation, which Schimel has denied. The 2009 video was made during a presentation about internet sexual predator cases and the 2013 presentation centered on interacting with victims of sensitive crimes. Schimel heads the justice department, which has said that releasing the videos would help sexual predators evade the law and infringe on victims’ privacy. It also contends that requiring release of the videos would undermine the state’s ability to train prosecutors and police officers in the future. “There is no stronger proponent of Wisconsin’s Open Records Law than the Wisconsin Department of Justice,” Schimel and other attorneys said in court briefs. But, Schimel argues, this is a rare situation where disclosure of a record would “cause grave harm to the public interest.” A state appeals court ruled last year that the videos must be made public under the state open records law, saying there was no compelling reason to keep them secret. The ruling affirmed one made in 2014 by a Dane County circuit judge. Both lower courts said the content of the tapes was routine and there was no danger that law enforcement tactics or victims’ privacy would be compromised in releasing them.

Taxpayers to pay $1.6 million to attorneys in abortion case MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin taxpayers will pay $1.6 million to attorneys who represented Planned Parenthood and others in a lawsuit that successfully challenged a law requiring hospital admitting privileges for doctors who perform abortions. The Wisconsin State Journal re-

ported Thursday that the Wisconsin Department of Justice agreed to the fees for lawyers and other costs in a federal court filing. The law was ruled unconstitutional by a federal court judge in 2015, and the state appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Last June, the high court declined to take the case. Planned Parenthood, Milwaukee Women’s Medical Services and others were represented by attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin Foundation and the Madison law firm of Cullen Weston Pines & Bach.

Democrats say Republicans have let down rural schools MADISON (AP) — Assembly Democrats say Republicans haven’t done enough to address funding cuts and teacher shortages in Wisconsin’s rural schools. Democratic Assembly members said at a news conference Thursday that Republicans have no idea how to address the problem. The Democratic news conference came the day after Republicans unveiled their priorities for the next legislative session, which include “solutions for problems facing students in rural school districts.” Democratic Assembly Leader Peter Barca says Republicans have had five years to address a multitude of problems facing rural schools, including declining enrollments and teacher shortages. Democrats released a memo from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau showing that state aid to rural schools has dropped 13.5 percent the past five years. Declining enrollment is one of several factors contributing to that drop.

In other business: •With his summer officer back in college, Ryan Bybee, the county’s rec/officer, said his main focus was on ATV trails during the Labor Day weekend. There was only one minor accident reported. “A rider got separated from his group so he was going faster than he should to catch up,” Bybee explained. “It’s a recipe for disaster.” He also said he was busy issu-

“It’s very frustrating for us and for our users,” Nichols voiced. As he sees it, the county has two options. “We can continue to enforce our current ordinance, which states that off-road motorcycles are not allowed on county forest lands,” Nichols described. “Or, we can amend our ordinance and allow the use of off-road motorcycles on county forest lands like we do for ATVs and UTVs.” The committee voted to follow the county ordinance and not allow dirt bikes on the trails and to reassess in the spring.

THE NEWEST HURDLE Nichols can already see the next headache on the horizon —off-road motorcycles on ATV trails. “As of Oct. 1, a new law allowing dirt bikes on ATV trails will go into effect,” he lamented. He said there are a lot of questions about the new law, and not a lot of documentation from the DNR regarding the rules and regulations of the new law.

SIREN— The committee approved, at least for the summer of 2017, the opening of Trail 151 to ATV and UTV traffic going north from Trail 925 to Big McGraw Road. The trail is already a snowmobile trail in the Town of Blaine. “Big McGraw Road is open to ATV/UTV traffic,” Ron Gray, president of Turf and Tundra ATV Club, explained to Nichols in a written request. “If riders go west on Big McGraw, they can get to a business establishment, and if they go east, they can get to another route in the county’s trail system.” Since ATV riders can’t operate on the highway (Hwy. 35) and the trail is the only one in that area, the committee okayed it for next summer, but retained the right to revisit the issue. The only remaining concern was whether to designate it as a T-ROUTE. According to Jake Nichols, forestry administrator, a T-ROUTE designation leaves the trail open to street-legal vehicles after Sept. 16 — the date the summer ATV trail system closes. “Essentially, all the trails turn to T-ROUTEs after Sept. 16,” he explained. “Any trail not gated or bermed is open to street-legal vehicles after Sept. 16.” The committee opted for the T-ROUTE designation and the trail will be signed accordingly.

ing warnings to riders for executing power turns, especially on the Highline Trail near CCC Road. Power turns, posted as illegal, are tight turns by the ATV which leads to quicker erosion and damage to the trail. On the positive side, Bybee said the bulk of riders can’t say enough good things about the county’s trail system. “Some riders used to come for a day of riding,” he noted. “Now they have bought property up here — they love our trails.” •The committee granted a oneyear extension request from the Town of Blaine for its 2016 $25,000 Burnett County Forest Town Roads Grant. The grant money, which will go toward covering a portion of the Springbrook Trail project, was to have been spent by Nov. 30 to be eligible for reimbursement. “With all the road damage Blaine and other towns in the northern part of the county suffered in July, some of the funds Blaine had set aside for the project had to be used in repairing July’s damage,” Nichols reasoned. •Susan Ingalls, the forestry/recreation coordinator, was able to secure $180,000 in grants from the snowmobile council and the offroad vehicle council funding meetings last month. The money is earmarked for bridge work on Trails 45, 140 and 150, plus 1.9 miles of new trail on Trail No. 7. “I think we should publicly recognize and thank Susan for getting these grants,” member Larry Main pointed out. “Especially when the councils are getting tight with their money.” •The committee awarded a $13,000 bid to Edmunds and Company, Log Home Restorations, for restoration work on the main lodge at Forts Folle Avoine —including replacing logs and repairing crowns.

NOVEL IDEAS

Guest Reviews by Dawn Kitchell of The Missourian Within the crime genre, there’s a subcategory of raw, explicit reads that feature meth heads, murderers and other drug users caught up in a life they can’t, or don’t want to escape. These books are often set in rural, barren landscapes. Enter Sweetgirl, a gripping debut by Travis Mulhauser. This coming-of-age story calls to mind hard-hitters by Ron Rash, Tom Franklin, Wiley Cash and Missouri’s own Daniel Woodrell, best known for Winter’s Bone, a jaw-dropper that launched Jennifer Lawrence’s career. In Sweetgirl, Carletta has let her daughter Percy down again, “gut-punched and woozy, like it was the first time she forgot to pick (her) up from school.” Her mom has fallen off the wagon again, perhaps with Shelton Potter, an ex-con and druggie who cooks meth in the woods near Carver City, Michigan. A blizzard bears down as 16-year-old Percy sets off in her battered Nissan, determined to bring her mom home, this after empty promises and a stint off drugs fueled Percy’s hope, yet again. Rather than finding her mother at Potter’s remote farmhouse, she discovers the meth head and his lady friend unconscious on a mix of who knows what. Silently she sneaks upstairs, a stench attacking her, coming from a room where she finds a dog’s remains. Across the hall a baby screams in a bassinet labeled Jenna, neglected for how long, Percy can’t imagine.

With her car stuck in a snowdrift, Percy takes off on foot, Jenna tucked into her hoodie. So begins a cat-and-mouse chase that involves Percy, and her ally, Portis, a father figure her mom had lived with, a man Percy can count on, even though he’s an alcoholic. Together they tackle a bevy of evildoers out to stake claim on a reward Potter has offered for the return of the baby. Be prepared for a wild ride in this riveting read, repulsive at times, but a story in which even the vilest character illicits sympathy. Mulhauser is a craftsman, not in a rush to wrap up his debut, making it even more satisfying. His lengthy conclusion divulges what happens to Percy, a codependent readers will be rooting for from start to finish. * * * * * Imagine being so successful in your profession that you are invited to an event with the POTUS (President of the United States), are asked to give a commencement address at your alma mater, (Dartmouth) and are chosen to make a guest appearance on a popular television talk show (“Jimmy Kimmel Live”). Add to these happenings other oncein-a-lifetime opportunities. Now imagine that fear pushes you to say “no.” Fear that spawns thoughts like “… I might pass out. Or die. Or poop my pants or something.” That fear led introverted but wildly successful television writer and producer Shonda Rimes to challenge herself “to say ‘yes’ to anything and everything

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Logs show h h hundreds d d off altercations l at youth prison MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Staff logs from a youth prison in northern Wisconsin show nearly 500 incidents of aggression, fighting and violence in the four months preceding a December raid by law enforcement at the troubled facility. The logs were provided to the Wisconsin State Journal by the Department of Corrections under the state’s open records law. The reports show conditions at the Lincoln Hills School for Boys and the Copper Lake School for Girls just before federal and state law enforcement officials arrived to investigate allegations of abuse by staff members. The two facilities share a campus in Irma, about 30 miles north of Wausau. Altercations and confrontations resulted in 32 injuries to inmates and seven injured staff between July and December of 2015, according to the logs. “The place was getting more and more violent and out of control — and that’s

h b h the h place l d id Troy what brought down,” said Bauch, the youth prison union representative at the time of the incidents. “The kids took control of the institution.” Department of Corrections spokesman Tristan Cook said the incidents were logged by John Ourada, the former superintendent of the Irma facility, but that the documents are not a complete list of events. The original state investigation into conditions at the youth prison sought to determine whether there were crimes of child neglect, abuse of inmates, strangulation and suffocation, intimidation of victims, use of pepper spray to cause bodily harm and other law violations. U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil said recently the federal investigation that followed, headed by the FBI, is still under way. Vaudreuil’s office is assessing whether to file criminal charges. The FBI will forward its findings to U.S. Department of Justice’s civil rights division where a decision will be made on whether to open a civil investigation.

that scares me. For a whole year. Or until I get scared to death and you have to bury me.” Rhimes has documented her yearplus journey to “explore, empower, applaud and trust herself” in a laugh-outloud engaging book, Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person. Available in a compact 311-page hardback book from Simon & Schuster, I listened to the 7-hour audio version. The audio book is read by an entertaining Rhimes and had me laughing out loud throughout our time together. Rhimes’ most acclaimed credits include producing “How to Get Away with Murder,” and creating and producing “Scandal,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice.” Fans of “Scandal’s” Olivia Pope will hear the gladiator in her creator’s story and Rhimes delves into her character development of “Grey’s” Cristina Yang. Born and raised in Chicago, Rhimes now lives in Los Angeles where she spends her days “laying down track” at her production company, Shondaland. She has three young daughters. Year of Yes is a girlfriend conversation between a self-depreciating author and her Dear Reader. Rhimes’ story highlights the shared insecurities and struggles of women – daughters, sisters, friends, mothers – regardless of fame or fortune. * * * * * A gripping blend of fiction and fact meet in a crossover sure to leave readers empathetic and breathless. Salt to the Sea, by Ruta Sepetys, is a Young Adult book, but adults won’t want to miss it. The narrative is shocking and noteworthy, bringing to light a little known disaster at sea during World War II, the largest loss of life caused by the sinking of a single ship.

The Wilhelm Gustloff, a German vessel, was built to hold 1,500, but when Russian torpedoes hit it in 1945, the ship took an estimated 9,000 people, largely civilians and children, to their deaths. Using the fictionalized story of four teenagers, hailing from diverse backgrounds, but all suffering the horrors of war, Sepetys delivers her novel in short chapters narrated by the young people, each harboring a secret. Three in the group are on the run in East Prussia, trying to get to the coastal city of Gotenhafen, on the Baltic Sea, as the Russians advance. The fourth character, Alfred, a German sailor on the Wilhelm Gustloff, is a cowardly misfit who comes into contact with the teens when they finally reach the ship. The glue that holds the refugees together is Joana, a Lithuanian nurse. She takes responsibility for the little band as they journey to the harbor, experiencing violence and witnessing atrocities. Florian also is part of the group, a young soldier fleeing the German authorities. Though he’s in danger, he can’t turn a blind eye to Emilia, a 15-year-old Polish girl he saves from a Russian in the forest. Emilia remains indebted to Florian, calling him “the prince.” The secret she guards makes her dependent on Joana when they finally reach Gotenhafen, and the supposed safety of the ship. Other minor characters come into play, adding to this infectious, meticulously researched book, one certain to entertain and educate, based on experiences from the author’s own family. Salt to the Sea enables readers to imagine what real-life was like for those on the Wilhelm Gustloff. It’s historical fiction at its best.

New logo for Community Bank

Three generations

Paul Anderson (seated at left) was a football Pirate who graduated in 1957. His son Dean (kneeling at right) also played and was in the Class of 1985. Paul’s grandsons, Brett (standing left), who graduated in 2016, and Luke, currently a sophomore, are following in the family’s footsteps

GRANTSBURG/SIREN—Community Bank President Ted Gerber announced that the bank has unveiled a new logo and slightly different color scheme. Community Bank has banks in Grantsburg, Siren and Cameron. “We thought it was time for a change,” Gerber said. “This is a family business, and in the past several years we have had a passing of the torch, so to speak, between generations. This logo change is the new generation’s way of putting their stamp on the bank.” Terry Gerber, who had been president of the bank since 1992, has slowly stepped away from day-today operations since 2012, handing over management of the bank to his sons Ted (President) and Tim (Vice President), daughter Cara Duerkop (Compliance Officer) and daughterin-law Kelly (Operations Officer). Lamacchia Group of Milwaukee assisted the bank in developing the new logo and brand. “Lamacchia is an experienced company that only deals with financial institutions, so we felt comfortable having them help us with the process,” stated President Gerber. The first step in that process was to survey customers, employees, management and shareholders to determine what they liked about Community Bank, what made the

bank different and why they are the main reasons they are associated with the company. Overwhelmingly, the response was the same. “It’s the people,” stated Tim Gerber. “‘The number one reason they like banking with us is the people who work here. We received lots of comments like ‘They know my name’ and ‘They ask me about how my family is doing.’ Also, our customers liked that we are locally owned and a part of the community.” After analyzing the data, the bank looked at possibilities of changing the name as well as the logo, but ultimately chose to keep the name. “Our communities are really what we are about, so it made sense to keep that aspect,” said Kelly Gerber. In designing the new logo, La-

macchia took into account the survey results as well as input from the bank’s staff and shareholders. “We think the new logo is very representative of our area and our bank. We are thrilled how it turned out.” In addition, over the next year Community Bank will be implementing new products and services that will give customers the capability and flexibility to manage their money in a simple, efficient manner. President Gerber was quick to point out that “what will remain the same, today and into the future, is the level of service our customers have come to expect from Community Bank. “We might have a new logo and new colors, but the people, ownership and dedication to our communities will not change.”

Century farm award

Claire and Joel Johnson of Grantsburg were honored at the Wisconsin State Fair on Tues. Aug. 9 on their centennial farm. The Century Farm Awards Program honors families who have had continuous ownership of their farm for 100 years or more.

CENTURIA — Just in time for a new school year, applications are now available for Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative’s Community Service Scholarship Program. The co-op will award 36 scholarships for $1,250 each to the Class of 2017, for a total of $45,000. Scholarship candidates are also invited to apply for the 2017 Youth Tour of Washington, D.C. Two trips will be awarded, valued at $2,500 each. Polk-Burnett’s scholarship program is based on

community service, rather than academic grades, athletic performance or financial need. Candidates are required to submit a community service resume. In addition, candidates must be the son or daughter of a Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative member, graduate from high school in 2017 with plans to continue their education at an accredited technical school, college or university. “This is our opportunity to recognize the sons and daughters of co-op

members who have made a difference in the lives of others,” said Polk-Burnett Communications Director Joan O’Fallon. “Since 1987, Polk-Burnett has awarded more than $550,000 to high school seniors.” “Giving back to our community and local youth is part of our mission as a cooperative,” added Polk-Burnett General Manager Steve Stroshane. “And, it’s important to know that Polk-Burnett scholarships do not affect elec-

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

I’d describe Sylvia as a white cat with black markings. She was abandoned, along with her six kittens, and is now safe and sound at our shelter. Sylvia is approximately 1½ years old, but not too young to be a mother. When I went to meet her, she was extremely friendly and loved attention. However, she seemed a little more interested in escaping her conSylvia do... maybe to join her kittens who were housed nearby? Sylvia has unique markings and all of her kittens have the same coloring, except they are black kittens with white markings. This girl no longer has to worry about having a couple litters of kittens a year. She just needs to Annaliese worry about where she goes from here. Sylvia wants to be out of her condo and into your home ASAP! Sylvia came to us with three girls named Nora, Elizabeth and Annaliese (pictured); and three boys named Sebastian, Arthur and Louis. It was difficult to choose only one of the kittens’ pictures as they were all so adorable, but Annaliese was the lucky winner. At first glance, all six are hard to tell apart as they are all “tuxedo” kittens. If you look closely, you will be able to figure out each of their distinct markings. The girls and boys are in separate condos so they have more room to romp and play. They definitely have different personalities though. For instance, when I visited the girls’ condos, one came to greet me at the door and sat very prim and proper. One of the girls stayed in her hammock and just wanted to bat my fingers. And one stayed in the background until she knew it was safe to come forward. Once she saw that the others thought I was okay, she became the most outgoing. All three boys were in their hammock together, and all three jumped out to meet me when I came to their door. You really have to come meet each one of these delightful kittens in order to make a choice as to which one or ones you want to adopt. We’re having a paw-ty! This Saturday, Sept. 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. And you’re invited! If you aren’t familiar with our local Humane Society, here is your chance to meet the HSBC Board of Directors, staff and volunteers, and see what happens here at HSBC. We’ll have cake and door prizes; as well as adoptable animals to meet, tours of our shelter, and information on how you can get involved. Come join us at 7347 Midtown Road near Siren. It’s a “New Beginning” for our shelter, so please be our guests and find out what’s new and exciting for 2017! If you are interested in adopting Sylvia, one of Sylvia’s tuxedo kittens or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096.

Rainbow of mushrooms BY EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Neon yellow. Brilliant orange. Lavender. Pure white (and deadly). Deep blue. Gray. Variations of red, pink and coral. And every shade between off-white and brown. The rainbow of fungi in the Namekagon Town Hall was incredible. After just the first day of the Bayfield County Mushroom Foray, we’d already found almost 200 species, and they were laid out in groups on a sea of tables. Now, I should be clear. I didn’t identify all those species. I could tell you the common name of about five, maybe 10 of the fungi, and no scientific names with confidence. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fascinated by mushrooms–how they partner with trees, orchids, and a plethora of other plants; how they decompose wood and make nutrients re-available to the ecosystem; how they parasitize insects, trees and even us. I’ve focused on their stories but not always their identification. It’s a good thing, then, that Mycologist Patrick Leacock from the Field Museum in Chicago came north with Fungi Magazine Editor Britt Bunyard to be our mycologists. In addition, many knowledgeable amateur mycologists from the Mycological Societies of Minnesota and Wisconsin came all the way here to check out our amazing diversity of fungi. After admiring the rainbow tables on the second morning of the foray, we headed out onto the trails to look for more. Entering the woods, I sighed in resignation. I’m so much more confident in plant iden-

tification. Mushrooms, except for those few I know, are confusing. The first mushrooms we saw as we entered the woods on the mountain bike trail were big, hulking white masses just pushing up through the leaf litter. They were the perfect example of “puhpowee,” which, according to Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass, is the Potawatomi word for “the force which causes mushrooms to push up from the earth overnight.” Always an educator, I gravitated toward the sole kid on the hike as he picked up a big white mushroom to admire its bulk. Of course, René wanted to know what it was. I raked a fingernail across the gills on the underside of the cap, breaking their brittle flesh. As we watched, small droplets of white liquid oozed out of the injury. Relieved, I could identify this as a Lactarius species, a group aptly named for their milky ooze. Many Lactarius mushrooms are smaller and often prettily colored. One species is sapphire blue. Another smells like maple syrup. This particular kind tastes like hot black pepper, so spicy that a single touch to the milk with the tip of your tongue releases a slow burn for several minutes (yes, I’ve tried it). With this revelation, René also had to try it. While he said it wasn’t too bad, he did scrunch up his nose and stick out his tongue. It’s important to note here that this peppery Lactarius is not considered edible. The spicy flavor would make you sick, but you generally have to actually swallow a mushroom to be poisoned by it. Some experts chew and spit out mushrooms to help with identification. I’m not recommending

that technique if you don’t know what you’re doing. As we meandered farther down the trail, bright red, orange and yellow waxy caps became prominent among the green carpets of Pennsylvania Sedge. Holding one up for René, I had him feel the cap and gills. Their brittle flesh has a distinctly waxy feeling. Their cheerful colors brighten up grassy sections of woods. Next we found a small patch of black trumpets. These dusty gray, vase-shaped mushrooms have thin, dry walls with no gills and often grow in clusters. A relative of the choice-edible chanterelle mushrooms, these are also considered a delicacy. Dehydrating brings out their Romano cheese aroma. Upon hearing their name, René brought the narrow end of one to his lips, and blew a little fanfare on his new “trumpet.” My kind of mushroom hunter, this kid. While picking more black trumpets to fill his basket, René also found a little cluster of mushrooms with bright yellow stems and deep green caps. “Jelly babies,” someone had called them earlier. René held one up to his forehead like a unicorn horn. We agreed that while we weren’t big Packers fans, we both really liked those shades of green and yellow together. The next mushroom we found was pretty nondescript. White stem, white gills, white flesh, with just a skim of soft red on the upper surface of the cap. It felt fragile in my hand despite its relatively robust proportions – a characteristic Russula. This big group is hard to tell apart, but you don’t need to know individual species to have a little fun. Instead of long, stringy fibers, these

fungi have spherical cells that break apart easily. Pick one up and it will crumble in your hand more easily than Styrofoam. Throw one against a tree and it explodes in a shower of white crumbs. René and I experimented with this characteristic. Several times. Maybe this isn’t the most dignified use for a mushroom, but it sure is fun! In the end, the Bayfield County Foray collected more than 225 species of fungi. You can check out many of them on the Cable Natural History Museum’s Facebook page. More yet are awaiting identification by the experts using sophisticated techniques. I love knowing that our area is a hotspot for diversity. I also love knowing that even a little bit of knowledge (combined with a bit of humor) goes a long way in appreciating that diversity. Next year, we’ll share our mushrooms with the whole country.

Tigers narrowly miss top spot BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—With four of its runners in the top seven, the Webster Tigers were primed to win the 2nd annual James Muus Invitational at the Yellow Lake Golf Course Tuesday afternoon — but no one told that to the Unity Eagles. With three runners in the top five, the Eagles edged the Tigers by two points. “The high school boys gave Unity a fight,” Tiger Coach Roy Ward indicated. “It was exciting and will continue to be.” Tuesday dawned to thunderstorms rolling through the area, but by race time the storms were past. “No gnats and less humidity would have been better, but I’m glad we were able to get the meet in,” Ward pointed out. The top finisher for the Tigers was senior Andrew Ruiz, who was second overall in a season-best time of 17:46.81, followed by Joey Formanek (4th) who crossed the line in 18:54.22. Teammates Hunter Erickson (6th) and Mason Schaff (7th) were next for the Tigers, in times of 19:25.88 and 19:33.56, respectively. “It is great to have some intrasquad competition between Mason and Hunter,” Ward realized. “Tuesday it was Hunter coming in one spot in front of Mason. they might not like it, but I love it.” Kerik Stubbe (16th) was the fifth Tiger across the line in 22:01.53. Dustin Kern (34th) and Trent Gustafson (41st) were the final finishers for Webster and posted times of 24:52.69 and 26:57.25 respectively. “I was pleased with our performance and feel good with where we are in our season,” the coach said. While Unity and Webster battled for the top spot, the Grantsburg Pirates nailed down a solid third place with three of its runners in the top 10. Joe Duncan, David MacKean and Joseph Ohnstad were 8th, 9th and 10th across the line, posting times of 19:54.62, 19:56.59 and 19:59.81 respectively. “We are continuing to see improvement in the athletes each meet,” interim coach Lisa McKinley stated. “They are learning which race strategies are best for them.” Chris Hermann (15th) was the fourth Pirate across the line in a time of 21:51.41. He was followed by teammates Sam Anderson (19th) and Jared Lee (20th), posting times of 22:20.115 and 22:34.94 respectively. Trevor Vollendorf (25th), Connor

Last minute score drops Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—Northwood’s 27-yard Brandon Daleiden-to-Elijah Volz touchdown pass with 46 seconds left in the game enabled the Evergreens to defeat the Siren Dragons 38-34 Friday night. Siren had just taken the lead at the 2:01 mark on a Brady Mangen 10-yard run, but the Evergreens marched downfield, helped by a 15-yard Siren penalty, to get in position for the score and eventually the win. “It was a good football game,” said Siren coach Ryan Karsten. “They had the momentum early, and then we got the momentum late. We scored too quickly and left them too much time at the end of the game.” On Siren’s very first possession, the Dragons had moved the ball to the Northwood 33, but fumbled the ball. The ‘Greens recovered. Nine plays later, Jase Kuffel ran the ball in from six yards out. The two-point conversion failed and Northwood was up

6-0. The Dragons again got into Northwood territory, getting down to the 31, but the ‘Green’s defense held and Siren gave up the ball on downs. Five plays later, a Daleidento-Volz connection resulted in a 28-yard TD pass. This time, the two-point conversion was good and Northwood led 14-0. The first quarter ended with Siren on the Northwood 34. On the third play of the second quarter, Derek Highstrom scampered into the end zone from the 29. The point-after-touchdown failed, but Siren was on the board at 14-6. After the short kickoff by Siren, Northwood began from their own 46 yard line. Two plays later, Daleiden passed to Tommy Androsky for 41 yards and a score. The two-point conversion was successful. Northwood 22, Siren 6.

PIRATE GIRLS TOP FREDERIC/LUCK The Pirates converted a one-two finish in Tuesday’s race to win the event by a point over the co-op team of Frederic/Luck. Senior Hallie Jensen was first across the line in a time of 21:38.09, followed 11 seconds later by Grace Gerber. “They are challenging each other to pursue their best,” McKinley observed. “It is great to see this growth taking place.” Danielle Bertelsen (14th) and Maddie Duncan (15th) were next for the Pirates, posting times of 25:02.78 and 25:03.50. Teammate Hope McKinley (17th) crossed the line in 25:13.72. Holly Fiedler (34th), Susan Roberts (36th) and Alyssa Swenson (38th) closed the scoring for the Pirates with times of 29:06.41, 30:52.53 and 32:38.56 respectively. The Tigers were at the other end of the spectrum, but did have one standout performance. “Sam (Nelson) has been working hard this season. She is more determined than last year,” Ward praised. “She improved her time to 22:44 and placed fifth — good enough for a medal.” Webster runners Sydney Raschke (19th) and Ali Moritz (20th) were the second and third Tigers at 26:14.25 and 26:27.56. Carolina Ivic (28th) came across the line in 28:00.59, good for fourth for the Tigers, while teammates Jeni Peterson (35th) and Jenna Gomulak (37th) closed out Webster’s scoring, posting times of 30:25.28 and 31:03.62. “If Jeni would quit smiling so much, she would run faster,” Ward laughed. “But it was Jenna who improved the most.”

Pirates win home volleyball tourney BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates held their annual invitational tournament on Saturday and came away with the championship plaque after taking down a tough Turtle Lake squad in the final game. The Pirates faced New Richmond Tigers and defeated them 2-0 by scores of 25-13 and 25-19. Next, they faced Prairie Farm and swept that contest easily, 25-9 and 25-12. St. Croix Central put up a tough fight, but the Pirates held on to win 25-23 and 25-22. The championship match was against a strong Turtle Lake team. The Pirates fell in the first game 19-25 before rallying to take the next two games, 25-18 and 25-13 to win the tourney. “We have had a lot of morning practices, and we are solid morning performers,” Pirate coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “It was good to get off to a strong start.

We sputtered a bit at times; it is difficult to keep up the energy and intensity over a 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. day. “A couple of matches gave us opportunities to get all players on the court, but when there are only two sets, there is not as much time or wiggle room,”Coach Johnson added. “Not only did everyone play great when given the chance, there were also key times during intense competition that our subs were called on to step up and they did the job, including Olivia Oachs, who connected with her hitters for a .467 efficiency.” Rhiana Pochman led the Pirate offensive attack with 40 kills. Cassidy Lee was next on the list with 25. Kenna Johnson had 12, followed closely by Randi Siebenthal with 11 and Rachel Glover with seven. Libero Jenna McNally led in digs with 31. Randi Siebenthal was right behind with 28 ,followed by Pochman with 25. Claire Palmquist was the assist leader with 53.

Eagles win over Tigers BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Unity Eagles defeated the Webster Tigers 39-8 on Friday night in Webster. “The kids played hard all night. They played with a strong Unity team for three quarters and continued to show improvement as a football team,” said Tiger Coach Andy Smith. Unity scored in the fi rst period as Joey Schmitz passed to Dylan Slanina for a one-yard touchdown score. The extra point failed; Unity was up 6-0. The Eagles struck again in quarter two on a one-yard touchdown run by Logan Hendrickson run. Patric Tillery ran in the two-point conversion and Unity was up 14-0. Webster came back with Trevor Gustafson scoring from one yard out. Gustafson threw to Jamison Matrious for the two-point conversion. The Tigers were back in the game at 14-8. That lead held into the third quarter when Dylan Nyholm scored on a 63-yard scamper. The two-point conversion failed: Unity 20, Webster 8. Quarter four was all Unity as they took the ball across the goal line three times. Runs of six, 13 and 37 produced 18 tallies with only one extra point added to the score. “We need to get better trusting our reads as a defense and flying to the football. On offense we have to eliminate penalties. Penalties are drive killers to a young football team,” concluded Coach Smith. Webster passing improved as Trevor Gustafson was 14 of 18, good for 82 yards and no interceptions. Gustafson led in the rushing department, going 20 yards on five carries. Webster hosts the Flambeau Falcons this Friday. Game time is 7 p.m.

Pirates dispatch WBS 41-6 BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Pirates played their fourth home game of the season last Friday night as they hosted the Washburn/Bayfield/South Shore Steelheads. Grantsburg continued their winning ways and walked away with the game, 41-6, bringing their record to 4-0 on the season. The Pirates played solidly all night, scoring at will and punting only once. The boys in purple allowed only one WBS fi rst down all night, and the defense gave up only eight yards on the ground and seven yards through the air. But, the most impressive thing that happened on the field was in the second quarter, when Bryce Roufs broke free and scored a fiveyard touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, Roufs stripped the ball and ran in another score. These two plays ran a total of six seconds off the game clock, which has to be some kind of a record for the team. “Four quarters of good team defense tonight. Everybody did their job. Leo Chenal at inside linebacker had a great night with 10 tackles. With the Durand game ahead, it was nice to get by this week as the kids could have come in mentally not ready. But, they didn’t do that,” said Pirates Head Coach Adam Hale. Leading the Pirates on defense was Leo Chenal with four solo tackles and six assists. Avery Fagerberg was next with four and four. Dakota Schultz ended his night with two and two. Nick Larsen ended the list with one solo and three assists. Offensively, Grantsburg had little trouble moving the ball around. There was some problems with those little yellow flags on the

ground that seemed to slow them up once on awhile. The Pirates scored 14 points in the fi rst quarter, 21 in the second, and six in the third. Schultz threw a 25-yard TD pass to Chenal to get the show started. Fagerberg kicked the point after to give the Pirates a 7-0 lead. Fagerberg ran the next one in and kicked the point after to go up 14-0. In the second quarter, Schultz found Chenal again, this time from seven yards out. Once again, Fagerberg kicked the point-after. The next two scores came from Roufs. And yes, Fagerberg’s leg was golden on both of these scores, giving the Pirates a comfortable 35-0 lead heading into the locker room. Chenal ran the last score in from 10 yards out in the third quarter. The PAT was unsuccessful. The Steelheads got on the board in the fourth quarter when Jeremy

Strobel broke loose on an 80-yard punt return for the touchdown. “Offensively, I thought Nick Larsen and Tanner Berger had their best games of the year and really blocked well all night,” Hale said. “The passing game was pretty sharp as Dakota Schultz threw the ball accurately and Austin Olson came up big with some nice catches. Leo Chenal, Bryce Roufs, and Avery Fagerberg all ran hard and are improving each week. “We will definitely have to improve in a few areas to be ready to face Durand. They’re big and physical on the line and fast in the skill positions,” Hale added. “It will be a challenge to start off a tough second half of the season schedule for us.” The Pirates hit the road for the fi rst time this season as they head to Durand to take on the undefeated Panthers. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

DRAGONS: Lose in ﬁnal minute to Northwood CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15

SIREN—On Thursday night, the young Siren Dragons defeated the Frederic Vikings 3-0. The game scores were 26-24, 25-23 and 25-14. Siren had as much as an 8-2 lead early in game one, but the Vikings came back to tie it at nine. Siren led 14-11, yet the Vikings battled back to take an 18-16 edge. From that point on, the game went back and forth with neither team going ahead by more than three. Siren called time at 24-24. Frederic responded with two wide returns, giving the Dragons the win. Behind 16-10 in game two, Siren called time to regroup, “I called time out,” said Siren coach Kristin Kosloski. “We need to get together.” The Dragons responded with seven straight points, forcing the Vikings to call time and regroup. They did and tied the game at 19 and went ahead 21-19. Siren fought back, tieing the game at 22 and then won the second game on kill, 25-23. After a tie at two, Siren never trailed the remainder of the third game. “We really wanted it tonight,” Coach Kosloski said of her team. The Dragons went on to record a 25-14 win in game three. Said Coach Kosloski, “We were due (for a win). We’re coming together. We’re a young team and don’t have a lot of experience on the varsity level, but we’re working on it.”

Tigers lose in four to Cardinals BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers put up a good fight last Tuesday night, but fell to the Luck Cardinals by a 3-1 margin. The game scores were 21-25, 30-28, 25-11 and 25-10. The Tigers held their own in the first game, not letting the Cardinal up front power deter them from the task at hand. The game was tied 10 times, indicating how intense was the play. A Sophie Phernetton block tied the game at 10. A kill by Taylor Howe upped a Tiger lead to 14-12 at one point. A Luck kill at 19 all moved the Cardinals up by one and they slowly pulled away for the win. In game two, the greatest margin was three when Luck led 11-8, but the Tigers battled away, tied the game at 11 on a kill by Howe, and went up by one to 12-11.

Luck went ahead by one or two points, but Webster came back to tie. At 21 all, either team scored a point and then the other team knotted the score and sometimes went ahead by one, only to find the other team tieing the score once again. Webster called a time out at 25-26, came out from the huddle and tied the score on another kill by Howe. Luck went up by one at 27-28, but a block by Phernetton made it 28 all. A short return by Luck put the Tigers up by one and then a kill by Phernetton sealed the deal, 30-28. Game three saw the Cards jump out to lead 5-0 before the Tigers got on the board. Webster got as close at 5-6 and 6-7, but couldn’t get over the hump to tie the game. The Cardinals, leading 7-6, went on a 9-1 run to lead 16-7. Being pressured to produce points, the Tigers couldn’t get go-

ing to come from behind and lost 25-11. After a tie at four in game four, Luck put on the pressure scoring 21 to Webster’s six to take the game and the match. “We started strong, but just didn’t push through the third and fourth games,” commented Coach Stefanie Janssen. “Taylor Howe and Sophie Phernetton had excellent performances at the net both offensively and defensively, but as a whole, our defense was slow reacting to the good ball placement of the Luck team. “Our inexperience shows where some older girls who are on varsity haven’t had varsity experience. “We have a couple days to practice for that (Thursday’s game). We’ll work on our defense. “Our girls are very fun and enjoyable to watch,” concluded the coach.

Cardinals edge out Pirates BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—If you are a fan of the game of volleyball, Thursday’s match between the Grantsburg Pirates and the Luck Cardinals didn’t disappoint, as the crowd was treated to hard hits, great defense, big blocks, long volleys and some amazing saves. Both teams battled hard and took it to five games, but when the dust settled, the Pirates were edged out by a tough Cardinal squad 22-25, 2513, 20-25, 25-19, 13-15. “This was a tough loss. It was disappointing, but the bottom line is that we were outplayed at key points in the match,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said of the roller coaster ride of a match. “It is slightly less painful to lose to a team as talented and classy as Luck. Their players and coaches are great sports and very positive.” The Pirates started hot the first game and jumped out to an early 7-2 lead, but Luck’s defense stepped up and started shutting down the middle, and tied it up 10-10. The young Grantsburg squad made some mental errors and found themselves falling behind. The Pirates made a late run, but it was too late and the

Cardinals came out on top 25-22. In the second game, Grantsburg was down early before going on a run behind the tough serving of Jenna McNally and Randi Siebenthal. The Pirates walked away with a 25-13 win. Game three was a tough one for the Pirates as nothing seemed to go right, and they found themselves down 8-19. But never count them out, as they rallied back with some strong defense and great serving and made a game out of it before

losing 20-25. Grantsburg’s strong serving dominated the fourth game, and they jumped out to an 8-1 lead early in the game and held on to take the win 25-19 to tie the match at two games each. The fifth game was a nail biter with ties at 6-6, 12-12, and 13-13 before the Cards sealed the win on an ace serve, 15-13. “Overall, we did not play poorly, and Luck mostly played like a welloiled machine— a team on a mission,” Allaman-Johnson said. “We handled ourselves pretty well when we were out of system, but we gave away far too many marshmallows, lollipops, and free balls. We must fix this. What sputtered for us was our defense with tons of digging errors, far too many serve receive errors, and inadequate blocking. We will hammer this out.” Rhiana Pochman led the Pirates in kills with 21 followed by Kenna Johnson with 12. Cassidy Lee had eight and Rachel Glover recorded seven. Randi Siebenthal tallied an amazing 33 digs to lead the team followed by McNally with 18 and Pochman with 11.

The twopoint conversion was good. Northwood 22, Siren 14. Siren’s defense stiffened and forced the Evergreens to punt. Siren took over on their own 25. A 75-yard, 10-play drive resulted in Mangen taking the ball in for the score from six yards out. A Brady Mangen-to-Bailey Mangen pass got the twopoint conversion and the game was tied at 22 with 1:51 left in the half. Northwood got to the Siren 36 as the half ended. Siren took over on downs after the Evergreens failed on their first possession of the second half. Starting from their own 47, the Dragons moved 53 yards in nine plays, resulting in a seven-yard TD run by Brady Mangen. The two-point conversion failed. Siren 28, Northwood 22. Siren squibbed the kickoff and the ‘Greens took over on their own 42. Five plays later, Volz ran the ball in from 15 yards out for a score. The two-point conversion was good. Northwood 30, Siren 28 with 5:33 left in the third quarter. The Dragons began from their own 47. They got as far as the Northwood 25 when a penalty and a fumbled snap from center made it fourth and 18 from the Evergreen 32. Only a one yard gain on the next play forced Siren to turn the ball over on downs to the ‘Greens. Moments later with the ball on the Siren 48, the quarter ended. With a fourth and 20, Daleiden ran the ball 19 yards and was just short of the first down. Siren took over. The Dragons got the ball to the Evergreen 40 where they fumbled and lost possession. “The two fumbles we had really hurt us,” lamented Coach Karsten, “and that was the key here.” Northwood eventually turned the ball over on downs and Siren began from the 50. On a fourth and five at the Northwood 45, Mangen moved the chains, getting the first down on the Evergreen 36. Five plays later, Mangen got across the goal line for six. The two-point conversion failed. Siren 34, Northwood 30 with 2:01 remaining. Northwood started their final drive on the Evergreen 40. Three running plays, the 15-yard penalty and the Daleiden-to-Volz pass produced the touchdown. The two-point conversion was good. Northwood 38, Siren 34 with :46 left. The Dragons had one last chance. A Dolan Highstrom-to-Derek Highstrom pass got the Dragons to the Northwood 36. On a fourth-down play, looking to pass, Siren didn’t find an open receiver, but ran to the Northwood 29, short of the first down. Northwood took over, took a knee and ended the game. “If we would have played turnover-free football, we probably would have won,” continued the coach. “At the beginning of the year, we thought that they (Northwood) were the best team in the conference. We got to play the best and we should have beaten the best.” “We just didn’t do enough to win,” finished Coach Karsten. “We battled and battled and battled but left them too much time at the end.” Siren travels to Prairie Farm Saturday for a 7 p.m. game while Northwood is scheduled to play Minnesota School of the Deaf on Friday at 7 p.m.

OBITUARIES

Violet Beckmark

Carol Karl

Darleen Highstrom-Groves

Violet Katie Beckmark, 98, a resident of Siren, passed away August 30, 2016 at the Traditions of Frederic Assisted Living Home in Frederic. Funeral services were held Thursday, September 8 at Bethany Lutheran Church in Siren, with Pastor Paul Peterson officiating. Interment was at Lewis Cemetery. Violet was born to Charles and Alice Blom of Siren on December 3, 1917 in her grandmother’s home in Lewis. Her father and uncle owned the Blom Brother’s General Store in Siren, and her parents also ran a boarding house out of their home. Violet was very proud that the Bethany Lutheran Church of Siren was organized in her parent’s home in April of 1921. During that time, Dorcas Ladies Aid of Bethany Lutheran Church was also organized at her parents’ home. Violet and her parents were charter members of the Bethany Lutheran Church. Violet was the last charter member. Her father, Charles Blom, was the first township chairman when the Town of Siren was created in 1913.

Getting a wrap on workday lunches Lunch is troublesome. I like the midday break, but not trying to find something healthy to eat. I have a serious pizza fetish. I like sandwiches, but I get tired of those. Also soup, but not in warm weather. Salads get boring, too. Some days after eating a salad for lunch, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hungry in less than an hour. Then, I find myself standing at a vending machine with 100 candy bars calling my name. I want something cool and refreshing for lunch during the sumWild Chow mer. Not too filling, but something to help me make it to the end of the day. Lisa Erickson Recently, I visited my daughter in Indiana. She packs a healthy lunch almost every day, inspiring me with her new favorite lunch, which is so good and easy. It really is so easy to make in the morning to take to work with you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very healthy and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave you feeling like a wilted flower before the day is over. They are hummus veggie wraps: a flour tortilla spread with hummus and topped with fresh, chopped veggies and rolled up. Hummus, the traditional recipe, is made of garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and tahini (ground sesame seeds), olive oil and seasonings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to make at home and many flavors are available in grocery stores. Garbanzo beans, a legume, are loaded with protein; find them in the canned vegetable aisle. Tahini is ground sesame seeds, the consistency of peanut butter. Tahini is available in larger grocery stores, Asian grocery stores and health food stores. It is high in omega-3 and 6, as well as protein and calcium. No wonder these wraps for lunch leave you feeling satisfied. My favorite is spicy hummus with chopped cauli-

flower, carrots and red pepper. My daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite is plain hummus sprinkled with Mediterranean seasoning, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, red pepper, a little red onion and feta cheese. I can think of so many different combinationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they will all be fun to try. I am going to like lunch again!

Hummus lunch wrap Serves 1 2 small tortillas, plain or any flavor 4 tablespoons hummus, any flavor 2/3 cup assorted chopped veggies, like carrots, red peppers, cucumber, spinach, cauliflower, and broccoli Seasonings, such as Mediterranean or even BBQ Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus on each tortilla. Divide the veggies in half and sprinkle them on each tortilla. Roll up and serve or wrap in plastic wrap and keep cold until ready to serve.

Homemade Hummus (many variations available on the Internet) 1 can garbanzo beans, drained Juice of 1 lemon Âź cup Tahini 1 tsp salt 3 cloves garlic, minced finely Âź cup extra virgin olive oil

seasoning to taste. Add more olive oil in small drizzles until hummus is smooth. Store covered in refrigerator.

Additional olive oil for finish drizzle Place tahini and lemon juice in blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add minced garlic and salt and slowly drizzle in oil while machine is blending. Adjust

ASKOV CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

I am deeply concerned by the divisiveness and hatred I see in our country. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to one another. We either attack one another or protest. Maybe both of these things are seen as necessary because we no longer trust one another and value each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinions. James was writing to a scattered church under a great deal of stress. In James 1:19-21, he gives us three pieces of advice: be quick to listen, be slow to speak, be slow to anger. But, shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we be angry? Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we stand up and say something? This passage doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be angry, but be slow to anger. This passage doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak, but be slow to speak.

Verse 20 gives us a reason why â&#x20AC;&#x153;your anger does not produce Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s righteousness.â&#x20AC;? We can yell and scream all we want, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to produce righteousness in us or in anyone else. Jesus didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the world by yelling and screaming. As a matter of fact, His one act of righteous anger â&#x20AC;&#x201D; turning over the tables in the temple â&#x20AC;&#x201D; really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change anything. We can either go around being a bunch of angry parents, angry evangelicals, angry Americans, or we can ask God to work in us His way. So how do we keep from being controlled by anger and rage?

We need to put off our filthy rags of sin and wash that sin we have allowed to grow on us like mold. We need to confess our sin and allow God to take it completely away. And, in its place, we need to welcome Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word into our life. We need to receive the Word with humility, allowing it to form and change us. The Word will change not only what we believe, but will also change the way we treat others. Then, maybe, we can learn to sit down and have a conversation with those we disagree and begin to walk together the road of peace.
