The search in Siren is on BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—If all goes according to Hoyle, Siren Schools will have a contract signed with a new district administrator by the end of March, if not sooner. That was the upshot of the special Siren School Board meeting Monday night. Why the hurry? “It’s important to get this going,” Roger Foegen, Search Services consultant with the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB), the organization the board has contracted with in order to find a district administrator. “If we could get this done by the end of March, you’d be ahead of the game.” In addition to signing a “not to exceed” $8,000 contract with WASB for the search, the board approved the time line for the search, which includes releasing the initial posting yet this week. “It gets the first blurb out there — it lets potential candidates know you have an opening,” Foegen said of the initial posting. “It talks about the size of the school, the population it serves, the fact there is a large native population and other basics about the job.” SEE SEARCH, PAGE 6

No injuries On Tuesday, Jan. 5, a neighbor on Norman’s Landing Road noticed the flames, came to the property and proceeded to call 9-1-1 when he observed the shed on fire. Property owner Joseph Mulroy was not believed to be inside the structure at the time of the fire. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

Creating a law enforcement dialogue BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Dubbed an “educational opportunity,” the top-ranking officials from the five law enforcement agencies within Burnett County will be invited to a public safety round table discussion as part of the county’s monthly public safety committee meeting on Feb. 4. If the invites are accepted, Webster Police Chief Mike Spafford, Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing, St. Croix Tribal Police Chief Frank Taylor, Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers and Sheriff Ron Wilhelm will discuss the issues of the day in an open forum. “We want the committee members to hear, as well as each agency, what the priorities are in each jurisdiction,” Nate Ehalt, county administrator, explained. “We want to know how the village and tribal police departments help the sheriff’s office and how the sheriff’s office helps the village and tribal police departments.”

Jerry Pardun

Jerry Pardun, committee chair, sees the round table as a chance for the police chiefs and the sheriff to work together but Sheriff Ron Wilhelm doesn’t see it that way. “To be totally honest, I was blind-sided by the article in the paper,” he said, referring to a December article in the Inter-County Leader. “I don’t know what the issue is — we’ve never closed our door to any agency.” But Pardun reasoned that was

some of the impetus behind the meeting. “This round table could easily clear up some of those misunderstandings,” he pointed out. The sheriff agreed. “My predecessor wanted to shut down the local police departments and I have no interest in doing that,” Wilhelm remarked. “But I do get the feeling they want to micro-manage us.” The round table could go a long way in settling those differences. In fact, it could be a lot like the chiefs meeting the sheriff had scheduled later that day. “With all that said, I see it as a good effort to get better information between the five agencies,” Pardun reported. Ehalt agreed. “The intent is not to ‘slam’ anyone but rather for each agency to see what the priorities are and how the departments can support and help one another,” he reiterated.

Now what? BY MEG ROD SENTINEL INTERN

GRANTSBURG —“It’s a cross between a beautiful piece of real estate, because it’s on the Wood River, and an opportunity since it’s so close to downtown Grantsburg,” Glenn Rolloff, the Village President, described about the town’s new space where D & J Manufacturing used to reside. What was left of the structure was west of Pine Street, and was torn down in December 2015. The rich history of the D & J consists of many business transitions from when it was built at the turn of the 20th century. It began as a starch factory, which remained into approximately the 1950’s-1960’s. Rolloff determined that the next business must have been the Rolite company, which belonged to Leo Hagginson and manufactured crank-up, portable campers. The building itself went through various renovations — wood buildings were attached, as well as a few metal buildings and storage nooks. “Leo got out of the business I believe in the late 1960’s, then it became a part of Copy Cat fireplaces and wood burning stoves,” Rolloff recollected. A couple of decades later, the building became what most people knew it as in modern times — D

‘Help for Alannah’ fundraiser nets thousands TURTLE LAKE—In September 2012, the St. Croix Tribal Council and the three St. Croix Casinos joined forces to help the family of Alannah Gillis, then a seven-year-old first grader at Webster Elementary School. Alannah had been diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma in August 2012. During September 2015, the three casinos raised $98,000 for the Gillis family. Alannah endured several rounds of chemotherapy followed by surgery to remove her brain tumor. That successfully sent her cancer into remission. She also donated a good portion of the money collected for her to benefit fellow patients at Children’s Hospital and children of the St. Croix Tribe. Just before Christmas this year, management at the St. Croix Casinos learned that Alannah’s cancer had metastasized in her hip and head – and the casinos swung into action to help the Gillis fam-

ily again with a special ‘Help for Alannah’ Holiday Fundraiser. On Dec. 20, St. Croix Casino Danbury and St. Croix Casino Hertel Express hosted a special Double Up Your Bucks promotion. Guests donating $10 at the players club booth at either of these casinos received $20 in Turtle Bucks slot play. Cash donation boxes were also posted at all three St. Croix Casinos throughout the Christmas holiday season. When all of the proceeds from the Help for Alannah Holiday Fundraiser were totaled, the three casinos had raised $4,912 for Alannah’s family. St. Croix Casinos’ CEO Leva “Dino” Oustigoff presented the donation check to Alannah on Dec. 31. Also in attendance at the check presentation were Alannah’s family in addition to several casino dignitaries. “All of us at the St. Croix Casinos are

deeply grateful to our guests for supporting the Gillis family with their donations,” said Oustigoff. “Our guests’ generosity has made it possible for us to lend our support to Alannah and her family at a very difficult time.” Alannah’s new journey is just beginning. On Dec. 16, Alannah began a two-week round of intense chemotherapy designed to alleviate her pain and to slow the progression of the cancer. The Gillis family will continue to need help and encouragement from the community. If you would like to donate funds to help cover the cost of gas, food or medical expenses, send your donations directly to Alannah Gillis, 25271 County Road X, SUBMITTED Webster, WI 54893 or visit the family’s ‘Go Fund Me’ page. Get-well wishes and Alannah (left) receives the Help for Alancards can also be sent to Alannah’s ad- nah donation check from St. Croix Casinos CEO Leva “Dino” Oustigoff. dress in Webster.

Four nominated for spring election BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GR ANTSBURG —Four Grantsburg village residents were nominated for three Trustee positions on the Grantsburg Village Board during the annual election caucus portion of Monday night’s monthly meeting. All four indicated they would accept the nominations and file the required candidacy paperwork. They are Scott DeRocker, John Dickinsen, Greg Peer and Rayna Surdey. Dickinsen is seeking his first term on the board. DeRocker, Peer and Surdey are incumbents seeking another term. The four will run for office during the spring election on April 5. In other action: • The board approved a request from village resident Scott Hanson to move welding equipment from his home’s garage to the hangar he leases from the village at Grantsburg Municipal Airport. He is completing restoration of his

private airplane, a 1951 Piper Tri-Pacer. Hanson, who is a “tig welder” by profession, said he has been bringing airplane parts from the hangar to his home’s garage to repair or rebuild. He said he is now at the stage of working with larger parts of the plane, and it would be easier to bring the welding equipment to the hangar. Hanson said tig welding uses a tungsten gas process that does not produce sparks. Fire danger is minimal and he carries insurance. The board approved his request without restrictions, except to say the work he does at the hangar is limited to his own plane. The board thanked Hanson for seeking board approval before moving his equipment. • The board also approved the annual contract with Grantsburg Hockey Association to underwrite the Sunday afternoon indoor ice skating sessions at the local hockey rink. They began in December and will continue through Feb. 28. The $3,900 contract provides payment for 10 free skating sessions from 4-7 p.m. on Sundays.

The free-skate sessions (no hockey) are open to all ages. The free skating has proven to be a popular event for Grantsburg kids and families. To fulfill its part of the agreement, the hockey association provides staffing, supervision and some informal instruction. Locker rooms and restrooms are available. Ice skates may be rented, and snacks and beverages can be purchased at the refreshment stand. The board was told 110 skaters used the rink during last Sunday’s skate. • The board discussed a letter it received from Grantsburg Swimming Pool lifeguard and Grantsburg High School student Kathryn Curtin. The board recognized she wrote the letter to complete a school assignment, yet addressed valid concerns about equipment and water conditions at the pool. The board was impressed with her letter and her suggestions. Pool committee member and village trustee Rayna Surdey said she would respond to the Curtin’s letter and see that the issues are addressed before the pool opens next summer. STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

Rice Lake man sentenced for bank robbery

MADISON—Kyle Langner, 24, Rice Lake, was sentenced to 114 months in federal prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for the robbery of Shell Lake State Bank and the Danbury branch of the Bremer Bank in 2014. Langner was also ordered to pay $14,171 restitution. Langner pleaded guilty to these charges on Oct. 15, 2015. On May 2, 2014, Shell Lake State Bank in Stone Lake was robbed by two armed gunman. On May 28, 2014, Bremer Bank in Danbury was robbed by a lone armed gunman. On July 16, 2014, Sterling Bank in Rice Lake was robbed by a lone armed gunman. Shortly after the Sterling Bank robbery, Langner’s half-brother, Jesse Sweeter, was apprehended by law enforcement and confessed to the robberies of Shell Lake State Bank and Sterling Bank. Further investigation led to the arrest of Kyle Langner and Ricky White in connection with the robberies. Sweeter was sentenced to 114 months in federal prison on July 22, 2015. White is scheduled to be sentenced on February 23, 2016. Both Sweeter’s and Langner’s sentences consist of 30 months imprisonment for bank robberies and a consecutive seven years imprisonment for brandishing a firearm during a bank robbery. Additionally, the 30-month federal sentence will run concurrently with sentences they are both currently serving in state prison after being convicted of robbing gas stations in Eau Claire. The convictions of Langner, Sweeter and White are the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Barron, Sawyer, and Washburn County Sheriffs’ Department; and the Rice Lake Police Department. The prosecution was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Julie S. Pfluger and Timothy M. O’Shea.

Meet to plan spring ﬂower gardens

Festival Theatre season to open Feb. 5

GRANTSBURG–You know spring is just around the corner when Burnett Garden Club invites you to join them for a Chelsea and Malvern Flower Show slide presentation at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, in Room 115 of Grantsburg High School.

ST. CROIX FALLS–St. Croix Festival Theatre will begin its theatre series earlier than ever this year with ‘Fully Committed,’ running Feb. 5-21 at the Franklin Square Black Box. ‘Fully Committed’ is “a hilarious and touching comedy that takes a sharp skewer to the backside of the restaurant biz.” (Time Out New York) In the busy reservation office of New York City’s hottest restaurant, out-of-

work actor Samantha runs the line at Manhattan’s number one restaurant while struggling to jump start her career and fulfill impending family obligations. With callers desperate to land a reservation, Sam deals with coercion, threats, bribes, and histrionics. “This play is like the feeling you get right after a roller coaster makes its first big drop. Non-stop speed, excitement, and laughter until you reach the end,” says director, Andrew Bradford Benson. “The challenge of maintaining this ride rests on one actor’s shoulders, as the performer plays not only Sam, but all other 39 characters in this show,” he adds. ‘Fully Committed’ will be performed in the Franklin Square Black Box, in the old Ben Franklin Building on Main Street St. Croix Falls. During Festival’s 2016 season, the city of St. Croix Falls will be renovating Festival Treatre’s home, the 1917 Civic Auditorium Tickets for ‘Fully Committed’ and the rest of the season’s shows may be purchased by calling the box office at 715-4833387.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: “Obviously crime pays pays, or there’d be no crime” — G. Gordon Liddy

4 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

JANUARY 13, 2015

New Year’s revolution I cannot be the only one who is afraid of making a resolution in fear of it not lasting a week. I am completely guilty for making the, “Oh I’ll start it up again next week” excuse, and having it be an annual gig. This leads to me losing motivation, and once I decide that it is a long shot and I was never capable of accomplishing anything anyway, then I feel like crud. And when I feel like crud, that is not a good thing. Don’t be like me. I do not know how much great expertise I can offer within the Another subject of having unmade or uncompleted resolutions making look you feel like crud, but I will atMeg Rod tempt to give out as much of my knowledge as possible because I know this feeling all too well. Resolutions are, under no circumstances, easy. A new year does not automatically make a person transform into everything they want to be, because it is only a simple jump from December 31st to January 1st. The symbolism behind it is wonderful, but then comes the tough part of starting and completing what you decided to achieve. The best advice I can give on this may not have value to anyone else but me, but here it goes — think of a resolution as a revolution. The words sound basically the same for starters, so that’s cool. But more importantly, the definitions behind the two words makes a big difference. A resolution is an unwavering decision to start or stop something. A revolution is a complete rotation of something in which a major change occurs. In history books, you do not read “The French made a resolution to overthrow their monarchy in the late 1700’s.” You read about how they hosted a revolution, demanded change, and made an impact that was worthy of being remembered. A resolution is said, and a revolution is done. And how powerful a revolution can be, even if it is within a single individual. We fear commitment sometimes, so we say that we are going to change but never truly promise. When there is some sort of absolute attitude that declares, “I will do this and there is no stopping me,” that is not a whispering subconscious. That is you, wanting to change and knowing you will. Because a promise is not said, it is done. Some people want to change more than anything, but don’t know how to start. My advice to those people is to take risks and to not be afraid to lose themselves a little bit. Revolutions are scary, and I’m sure the French just wanted everything to somehow work out without having to push it with the gunpowder and barricades. They had to though, because they knew the worst thing about the revolution was not the battle. Their biggest fear was to not be satisfied with the outcome, and to have everything stay as it was. Maybe we should start fearing like the French, and eventually find the courage within ourselves to change.

Who doesn’t love a treasure hunt? As the weather gets closer to normal for January, many people will be spending more time indoors. Whether it is in an ice shack or your living room, we all will be seeking some shelter from the cold. Some will exercise, others will do puzzles. I try to read a good book and maybe watch the From the squirrels play outPublisher’s side. It is also a perDesk fect time to enjoy one of my vices Tom Stangl — watching television. One of the shows I have been watching for a couple of years is a reality show on the History Channel, “The Curse of Oak Island.” The program chronicles a search for buried treasure on Oak Island, a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia in Canada. People have been searching for the treasure for over 200 years. The show’s opening sequences talk about a curse on the treasure which says that seven people must die before the treasure is revealed. Six have died in the two centuries that the search has been underway. There isn’t a single person my

age that hasn’t dreamed of digging up a pirate treasure. Two of my favorite authors, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, wrote a novel, “Riptide,” that is loosely based on Oak Island. It’s a good read. The legends surrounding the treasure have everything from pirate gold to the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant to Templar treasures and even the works of William Shakespeare hidden underground on the tiny island. In 1803, the Onslow Company came to the island and began digging at a site which is now referred to as “the Money Pit.” As they dug looking for buried treasure, they would find platforms of logs every 10 feet and layers of charcoal, putty and coconut fiber. At 90 feet, a large stone inscribed with symbols was discovered. After digging below 90 feet, the hole flooded and bailing did not reduce the water level. It is theorized that tunnels brought ocean water into the shaft and until they can be found and capped, draining the tunnel is impossible. The theory on the show is that the site was booby trapped and flooding was to deter the wrong people from finding the treasure. Brothers Rick and Marty Lagina, who read a Reader’s Digest article on the treasure search when they

They have heard many theories from Templar involvement to Christopher Columbus delivering the Holy Grail to the island. It’s entertaining stuff, and the Laginas, Dan Blankenship and the other people involved in the search seem like the type of people you would enjoy spending time with socially. I love the crazy theories, especially the way the narrator restates the obvious after a discovery or comment is made. The show is on Tuesday night on the History Channel, and I’ll keep watching, even if they never find the treasure. 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. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading. I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875 The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Leaders 2016

By Bernie Bolter

Welcome to the Arctic. I guess we are a little spoiled with our mild weather lately. Now to the realty of Wisconsin winter. Stay warm. Everything is back to normal at the center after the holidays. Dime bingo is going strong on Wednesdays. Come join the fun. We play every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. We missed Harry, our caller, last week due to a bug. Hurry back, Harry! We are still playing pool and cards/dominoes at 2 p.m. Thursdays. Just come and join in. Wii bowling started off with a bang and some serious competition. Gordy had high individual game with 229. Harry had high individual series with a 407. The Fluffy Flakes had high team game with 734 and the King Pins had high team series with 1333. Curt picked up the 5-10 split, Harry the 5-10 and Barry the 3-6-7. There were several 200 games. Good job by all. Birthday wishes to Barry Thompson, Dana Johnson and Peggy Kearns. I left them out last week. Sorry about that. Stop in and pick up a menu for lunch. Nikki serves great meals. It is much more fun to have her do the cooking (and she is very good at it) than doing it ourselves. If you have questions, call her at 715-866-5300. Our next monthly meeting will be at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan 19. Please plan to join us. We could use some new voices and opinions.

STROLL THROUGH THE PAST By Eunice Kanne

I’ve often heard people who were children around 1915 or earlier tell of Sven Duva. They labeled him a “tramp.” That kind of character was not uncommon at the time. He was a wanderer who went about in the summertime begging, mainly for food. People often described Sven as “highly odiferous.” He was unclean, ragged, and worse, he was lousy (had lice). Mothers used to scare their children by saying Sven Duva would get them! His headquarters were near Spirit Lake, but he covered a wide area on foot. He managed to come to certain homes at mealtimes, knowing he would be treated well. When it became dark, he also knew where to go to get a bed. He carried a sack on his back. What was in it, nobody seemed to know. Likely “treasures” he found, and more dirty clothes. Written by LeRoy Lundeen

To the editor: This is a very important year for electing leaders who will serve all citizens responsibly and earnestly. We need a President who has experience as a team builder, working with Congress to get the people’s work done in a timely manner while following our Constitution’s principles.

New choices for a New Year BY JEN BARTON RECYCLING CONTROL COMMISSION

How are you doing on your New Year’s resolutions? If you haven’t decided on a resolution yet, allow me to suggest a few great ideas. These ideas are simple. Pick a few. Aside from the usual preaching about reducing, reusing and recycling (which, of course, is the root of all things good), please make an effort to add new good habits this year. Environmental problems are caused by billions of small, unthinking actions. These problems can be cured by small, sensible actions – simple substitutions of environmentally conscious habits for thoughtless and wasteful ones. It’s really not that hard at all. All you need to have is a bit more compassion for our environment. Try to drive the most gas-efficient car you can find. Button-up your house by caulking, adding weather stripping and plastic to

who would love your “garbage.” Instead, find an outlet for things that are no longer useful to you. It takes a little more energy than throwing useful items in the garbage, but it saves resources and will also make someone’s day. Try the ‘free-cycle’ groups on Facebook as well as other groups. Every day, people are begging to get rid of their stuff. You never know, you may need exactly what they are giving away. Other good ways to dispose of usable items are thrift stores, the Re-store, and the tried-and-true method of just putting your items in your front yard with a ‘FREE’ sign. Ask my neighbors, I do it all the time! Keep up the good work! Contact me with questions, comments or concerns. I would love to hear from you. If you have an environmental resolution you’d like to share, please email Jen at jbarton@nwrpc.com or call the recycling office with any questions at 715-635-2197.

when he announced an executive action to expand mandatory background checks to gun shows, flea markets and online sales. Walker says Obama has created uncertainty for law-abiding citizens who want to sell guns and could deprive millions of Americans of their gun rights without any indication of imminent dan-

ger. He called the plan an illegal act. He asked Attorney General Brad Schimel to review the plan as soon as it’s released and to take any and all legal measures to challenge it. Schimel issued a statement saying he’s asked his attorneys to review Obama’s order and he will determine the next steps.

Siren assisted living center still a go SIREN—No, the assisted living center planned for the former Capeside Cove property in Siren has not been shelved but rather is actually a going concern. “I drove by there on the way to today’s meeting, there were three or four cars in the lot and all the hallways were lit up,” Dave Alden, Siren Village President, told the rest of the trustees at Thursday’s monthly board meeting. “I had been under the impression, and even voiced that concern at a meeting a month or two ago, that nothing was happening there.” Sara Stadler bought the site toward the end of 2014, and according to the building permit on file

with the village, she is renovating the building. “At one point last fall I talked to her about removing the water meter so it wouldn’t freeze and get ruined if there were no heat in the building,” Ann Peterson, village clerk, recalled. “But she said ‘No, that she’d be in there working.’” Indeed, over the past several months, heating, electrical and plumbing vehicles have been seen at the site. Alden said before last week’s snow, he saw a crew on site power-washing the sidewalks. “The only thing I haven’t heard is an opening date,” Alden commented.

Caucus Trustees Rudy Mothes and Dave Doty, Sr. were both nominated for their seats as their terms expire in April. Trustee Phyllis Kopecky, whose term also expires in April, chose not to run for office. As it stands now, Mothes and Doty will be the only names on the ballot in April. Even if a resident chose to run for the third seat, their name would not be added to the ballot in April and would have to run as a write-in candidate. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

DIALOGUE: Round table to open communications CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

For his part, Wilhelm said he is willing to go along with the attempt. “I hope this works out,” he added. As of now the round table is slated for open session but some members didn’t favor that. “We should have it in closed session,” member Dale Dresel urged. “That way, the newspapers aren’t present and concerns could be aired without having to worry about it being printed.” That concern was taken under advisement.

In other business: • A punch-list has been created for closing out the work on the county’s emergency communication tower network. “I toured the sites with Gary Therkelsen and Associates, our consultant,” Rhonda Reynolds, emergency management director, explained. “We found some inefficiencies so we created a list which the contractors have to finish before the job is done.” With the final nine sites lined up, it is now a matter of getting each site prepped and ready to go ‘live.’ “A generator is being installed

at the Webb Lake site next week,” Reynolds added. “Plus, I am working on a laminated book for each site with solutions for easy fixes, like low coolant, so we don’t always have to call in an engineer to fix it whenever a problem crops up.” • In hope of making the process of identifying parental units, the child support agency has changed its genetic testing protocol. “In some cases we had to have people arrested because they weren’t cooperating,” Shelly Hatch, agency administrator, told members. “Now we can do swabs at the office.”

& J Manufacturing. It came about when Dave Bistram and Jerry Kozak were starting up their business in Grantsburg. Bistram was going to work full time but unfortunately, medical issues forced him to retire before the place could get on its feet. Subsequently, the building was left vacant for many years. When Rolloff became village president in 2013, he knew Grantsburg needed a fresh start. “When you see a business fall off the face of the earth, and all of a sudden become an empty abandoned lot where the bears live, I knew there was some cleanup that needed to be done.” Now that the building is gone, all that is left is about 2.5 acres of unused land downtown. When asked Glenn Rolloff what he planned to do with the space, he explained how there was a multitude of options. As he stated, it is potentially a place for something of light industrial (such as office space,) or a nice retirement home, or something that will intrigue younger families to move into the area. Between appeasing the young and the old, the village board wants to meet in the middle somehow. “I hear from the young folks saying, ‘Boy there’s nothing to do in Grantsburg.’ We are obviously very sensitive to that.” Meanwhile, the chances of the land being used for something involving outdoor recreation are slim. “One thing we have to be careful of is how we have plenty of green space in this village,” as he referenced the land surrounding the St. Croix River and the Crex Wildlife Reserve. Since the space is located downtown, the board will deliberate on how it could benefit the village businesses. “In a lot of ways, its like playing Monopoly. You get a couple pieces of property in a really nice location, and then you look for a developer to come in and not necessarily put houses and hotels there, but something,” Rolloff said enthusiastically. Conclusively, the first step in this entire process is to find a bold yet reliable developer – whose ideas for the space could bring the entire town to new heights. “We’re looking for that long term investor that is a bit of a visionary that wants to come in and not try something, but put something up that they know will be a long term study – and we’re willing to work with them.”

When the temperature drops below zero, even a small draft can be enough to cause freezing of pipes. During this time of extreme cold weather, it is a good idea to check the perimeter of your basement or crawl space, feeling for drafts of cold air. If you discover one, find a way to stop the flow of cold air. Canned spray foam from the hardware store works well, as does fiberglass insulation. If you have window wells, make sure the windows are latched and sealed. These windows are often a source of drafts.

Grantsburg focuses on now empty riverfront property BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG —The Grantsburg Village Board will meet in special session, open to the public, at 3 p.m. Monday, Feb. 8 in its regular chambers. The meeting will focus on what should be developed on riverfront property north of downtown Grantsburg. One of the most frequent topics heard on Grantsburg streets recently (aside from Powerball) is what will be developed on the newly cleared land north of the Grantsburg Post Office. Every Grantsburg Village Board meeting in 2015 had some discussion and/ or board actions regarding the “Kozak property” or “North Country Trailers,” two names applied to the property. In December, demolition contractor Trade River Outfitters finished removing the old buildings. That gave residents a new, pleasing and unobstructed view of the wooded riverbank along Wood River. It has sparked excitement

about what could be there next. Some suggestions for the property are to add a small business center, or an assisted living center, a new park or apartments for the elderly. Board members have said they want a development that will put the property back on the tax rolls. The concrete foundations are the final remaining impediment. Trade River Outfitters submitted a $17,000 bid Monday to remove the concrete. The board declined the bid, for now, and set the special meeting to discuss ideas and perhaps hear more ideas from the public. After the special meeting concludes in the regular board chambers, the board will move to the Grantsburg Library’s new meeting room for its regular monthly meeting at 5 p.m. Feb. 8. The library staff has invited the board to use the facility as appreciation to the village board. It promises snacks will be provided for the board and general public in attendance. Librarian Kristina Kelley-Johnson

said at the village board’s meeting Monday that she and the staff appreciate the village board’s support and their efforts to help expand library operating hours and services. Starting in April, Grantsburg Public Library will be open 44 hours per week, up from the current 32 hours per week. That will nearly match the hours of operation currently in place at public libraries in Webster, Frederic and St. Croix Falls. The expansion will provide more evening and weekend hours. In another action, the village board spent about 30 minutes discussing how to work with village residents whose property contains unsightly junk, including cars, that are stored in public view on their property. Some problems are with property-owning residents, but a greater problem is dealing with renters and especially landlords who are either in violation themselves or allow it on their property. The village has ordinances numbered 10-5-3 to 10-5-8 to deal with the

problem of junk, but as Police Chief Jeff Schinzing says, one person’s junk is another person’s treasure. He said residents are often reluctant to part with their demolition derby car or a vehicle that hasn’t moved in four years but is a “restoration project.” The tone of the board Monday evening was that the village’s unsightly junk situation has gotten out of hand. Members feel Grantsburg is allowing junk storage that wouldn’t be tolerated in other villages or cities. By general agreement, the board decided to have its attorney review the ordinances dealing with junk for streamlining and to remove any areas that could be construed vague, or allowing loopholes. It wants to have a firm ordinance in place so that when the new, temporary ordinance enforcement officer comes on board this spring, the law will help the officer and the village get property owners to remove the junk, or the village will do so at the renter and/or property owner’s expense.

Andrea Kaminski, executive director of the League of Women Voters Wisconsin, will present information about the league’s efforts in Wisconsin and help organize the new local chapter. The Upper St. Croix Valley Chapter will work to educate citizens about the important changes in the Wisconsin voting laws, especially informing young new voters and senior voters who may be unaware of their voter ID options. Men are also welcome.

Red Kettle campaign raises nearly $31,000

SIREN—The 2015 Red Kettle Campaign in Burnett County has concluded, raising $30,960.86 during the holidays toward its goal of $32,500. Fundraising Manager Angela Moulton said, “It is wonderful to be so close to our goal. We will be able to help so many people in Burnett County due to the generosity of those who rang the bell for us and those who donated. They made such a difference!” Moulton said in years past, Burnett County has struggled to raise enough funds to be able to serve the many who are in need. This year, Moulton says, “So many people helped, and it made all the difference.” The Burnett County Salvation Army uses the Red Kettle funds to help fund emergency services for county residents who may need help with electric, heat, rent or medical assistance. They also operate Faith House Shelter, located on west Main Street in Siren.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING What to do when you see ﬂashing lights on the highway MADISON—Flashing lights on emergency vehicles are designed to get your attention while driving and prompt you to make decisive actions. By reacting calmly and correctly in the following situations, you can help prevent serious problems. When you see warning lights flashing on a law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, fire truck, tow truck, highway maintenance vehicle or utility vehicle that is stopped on the side of a road, you are required to move over, or at least slow down. “Under the state’s Move Over

Law, if you can safely switch lanes on interstate highways and other divided roads with multiple directional lanes, you must vacate the lane closest to the stopped law enforcement or other emergency vehicle,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Captain Gerald Voight of the Northwest Region. “If the road has a single directional lane or you can’t safely move over because of traffic, you must reduce your speed until safely past the vehicle.” A citation for a Move Over Law violation costs $263.50, with three demerit points added to your driver’s license. “Our officers and others working on the sides of highways are

in danger of being hit while inside or outside their vehicles by out-ofcontrol or speeding vehicles that did not move over,” Captain Voight says. Drivers also may encounter emergency vehicles, such as law enforcement squad cars, ambulances and fire trucks, approaching with their warning lights and sirens activated. According to state law, drivers must then yield the right of way and drive immediately “to a position as near as possible and parallel to the right curb or the righthand edge of the shoulder of the roadway clear of any intersection.”

Marsh hay works well; leaves and fabric do not. Water – Make sure your outdoor pets have fresh water daily. Ice or snow will not do, because the animal has to expend too much body heat melting them. Ideally, you can provide an inexpensive heater that sits right in the water bowl to prevent freezing. If you can’t do that, fill the bowl with fresh, tepid water at least twice a day. Antifreeze – Leaked or spilled antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is a deadly lure to animals with its sweet taste. Clean it up, and if possible, switch to a less dangerous formulation like propylene glycol. Walking – Rub petroleum jelly on your pet’s paws before heading out for a walk. It will protect them from salt and other de-icers. Grooming – Wet, dirty, matted coats cannot insulate against the cold, so be sure your animals are well-groomed. But, never shave a dog’s coat in winter. After bathing an animal, dry it thoroughly before letting it outdoors. Cars – Cats sometimes crawl under cars and into the engine compartment, seeking shelter and warmth. Bang on the hood before starting the car on cold days to startle sleeping animals. Don’t leave your pet alone in a vehicle. It may freeze to death.

dangers for animals, says state humane veterinarian Dr. Yvonne Bellay of the Division of Animal Health. “Food, water and shelter are the top priorities, but grooming and leashing are important, too,” Bellay says. She offers these tips on keeping your pet best friend warm and happy: Food – Outdoor pets need more food, of good quality, in cold weather to produce body heat. Shelter – Outdoor animals need a dry house that’s large enough for them to stand, sit, turn around and lie down comfortably, but not so large that its normal body heat is lost. Line the bottom with dry, nonabsorSUBMITTED bent material that won’t get wet, matted, and frozen.

MADISON–Though you might think that an animal’s furry exterior will keep them warm and snug in extremely cold weather, think again. Bitterly cold weather poses all sorts of threats to animals including both pets and livestock. And, the things humans do to protect themselves, like using antifreeze and salt, add more

Winter events at Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area

Cattleya is a cat that I’ve featured before but, unfortunately, my article did not produce any “takers.” This momma cat was abandoned, along with her four kittens, and found in a closed suitcase back when the weather would have turned deadly hot – had they not been rescued in time.

GRANTSBURG–Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area has a number of winter events planned, from snowmobile rides to a moccasin making class. Snowmobile Trail Rides Exploring surrounding wildlife areas through a snowmobile ride with family and friends. Crex snowmobile rides will be held Feb.20 and March 12. Trail rides will begin at 10 a.m. and last approximately two and one-half hours. These events are for adults only. Snowmobiles must be registered. Each rider must have an annual trail pass and proof of Snowmobile Safety Certification Course completion. Rides may be canceled due to trail conditions. O.W.L.S. The Older Wiser Learning Series is a lecture and discussion series held monthly throughout the winter season. Hot beverages and snacks will be provided. O.W.L.S will be held from 10–11 a.m. on Thursdays, Jan. 14, Feb. 11 and March 10. Snowshoe Treks Discover the tranquility of this low-impact sport. Join a guide for a wildlife tracking hike Jan. 22. Each hike will run from 8-10 a.m. After the hike, warm up inside with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee and snacks. If there is a lack of snow, a winter walk will occur. Snowshoes are available at Crex on a first-come, first-served basis. To learn more about Crex programs, contact DNR wildlife conservation educator Kristina Pupak at 715-463-2739.

Nature storytime at Interstate Park Cattleya

ST. CROIX FALLS–A popular program for pre-school children and their parents has started up again this winter at

Wisconsin Interstate Park. On Thursdays at 10 a.m., January through March, Naturalist Julie Fox will share a story and activity with preschoolers and their parents at the Ice Age Center. A short activity following the story will reinforce the story’s nature-related theme. Nature Storytime will generally last between 30-60 minutes. Participants may spend time outdoors, weather permitting, so parents should dress their children accordingly. Interstate Park is located in St. Croix Falls, WI, on State Rd 35, just ½-mile south of Hwy 8. Nature Storytime is free, but a Wisconsin State park sticker is required to enter the park. For more information call Julie at 715-483-3747.

Glacial history of the St. Croix Valley

ST. CROIX FALLS–The 2016 Riverway Speaker Series kicks off with program on glacial history of the St. Croix Valley, starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at the St. Croix River Association office, located at 230 South Washington St, Unit 1, in St. Croix Falls, WI (just south of the St. Croix Falls Public Library). It’s “Back to the Ice Age” with glacial geologist Dr. Carrie Jennings. She will take you on a journey that follows the retreat of the penultimate ice lobe from the area; then has you shivering on the frozen tundra at the margin of the last ice lobe; then swept away by the catastrophic drainage of a large glacial lake as the gorge of the river is created. The January weather will hopefully help you imagine the scene! Join the National Park Service and the St. Croix River Association in exploring the heritage, natural wonders, and communities of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway during this year’s Riverway Speaker Series. The presentation is free and open to the public. Space is limited, reservations strongly encouraged. RSVPs will be honored until 10 a.m. To reserve a space, go to www.stcroixriverassociation. org or call (715) 483-3300.

Daniels hits 1,000-point milestone in win over Pirates BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—Although the Siren Dragons were not in their home gym, there was still excitement in the air Friday night in anticipation of Caitlynn Daniels scoring the 1,000th point of her high school basketball career. The fans didn’t have to wait long. Daniels was only three points away from this incredible milestone coming into the game. Less than two minutes into the game, she hit her first shot. One more point to go. Daniels took a couple of shots, but they didn’t go in. The fans were getting restless waiting to celebrate. She got the ball again, drove to the hoop and was fouled as she shot, sending her to the free throw line. Daniels made her first free throw and the Dragon faithful erupted. The game was stopped briefly so she could be recognized by the crowd. And then it was back to business. There was a game to be played – and an exciting game it was. In the end, the Dragons came out victorious, 60-53, but not without a fight from the Pirates. Siren would gain a lead only to have Grantsburg claw their way back into it, coming to within one point towards the end of the game. Siren held a 23-17 lead at the halfway mark. Daniels led the Dragons in scoring with 12 points. Jade Horstman had five with Abby Kosloski adding three and

Kaitlyn Moser scored 26 points with Lydia Wilson adding 14 to help seal the win. “St. Croix is a heck of a team in the conference,” related Mat Wood, Tiger coach. “Angie (Maternowski) has them playing well. They’re young and improving. “The Tigers overcame numerous turnovers and were down by 10, ‘but then bang, bang, bang’ we’re back in the game.” At one point, Coach Wood looked at his fellow coaches and said, “We’re in trouble here,” yet the team came back. “Kaitlyn (Moser) has been facing many double teams, but works through them to score.

“Olivia Tucker and Rhiana Pochman both were strong on the boards, Olivia getting 11 rebounds and Rhiana 13 rebounds,” concluded the coach.

CLAYTON—“It was a good game against a good team,” said Siren girls basketball coach Ryan Karsten following the Dragons’ 50-39 loss Jan. 5. “We had our chances and just didn’t take advantage of the situation. We need to make the shots when we have the opportunity to, and we need to do the little things way better. A coach can’t control the heart and hustle of an athlete; only they can do that. If we get better at those and learn to compete better we will be just fine by the end of the season.” Siren held close to the Bears in the first half, trailing by only three at the half, 19-16. Caitlynn Daniels led the Dragons, scoring 10 of the team’s 16 points. Clayton had balanced scoring with four players contributing, led by Kailey Ketz with seven. Daniels was five of six from the charity stripe in the second half along with a field goal. Sarah Shaffer contributed seven in the second frame along with Laurel Kannenberg’s four and Ashlee Rightman’s three. MacKinzie Fall helped Clayton’s cause with 10 second half points.

LUCK—“We had a very tough loss to a competitive Luck team,” said Pirate coach Penny Curtin after the Cardinals defeated Grantsburg 42-39 last Tuesday. “We created a lot of turnovers but were unable to convert them into points, only scoring 14 in the first half. We also had a lot turnovers with a season high of 34.” “Their Brittany Donald shot very well and created a lot of problems for us.” Luck maintained a 19-14 half time lead over the Pirates. Donald had eight of the 19 points. Paige Runnels tallied four and Brooklyn Petersen three. Olivia Nielsen and Tiffany Brown each added two. For the Pirates, Cassidy Lee had 10 with Olivia Tucker and Violet Ohnstad each putting in two. Grantsburg outscored Luck by two in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the five-point deficit going into halftime. Lee put in 10 and Olivia Tucker had eight. Rhiana Pochman tallied four, with Jordyn McKenzie getting one bucket and Ohnstad going one-for-three from the charity stripe.

Although it is tough to be chasing the whole game, I think if we were able to get an early lead the way the game played out would have been different.” The Blizzard got their only goal of the game in the third period by Logan Meagher with an assist going to Brady Mangen. Much of the game saw the puck in the Blizzard defensive end of the rink.

“I was surprised by the speed of a couple of their players,” continued the coach, “and they really looked to use that to their advantage by flying guys out of the zone.” “The biggest bright spots I saw were killing the first five minute major, and our goalie, Taran Wols, playing very well in the net. He continues to keep us in games with huge saves. He gets a lot of volume every game and seems to always be up to the task.” The Blizzard were out-shot 35-17.

Ohnstad was next on the list, scoring seven. Rhiana Pochman ended the scoring hitting a two-point jumper. The second half was a battle with the Dragons outscoring the Pirates 37-36 this half. The remarkable note is that 27 of Grantsburg’s 36 second half points came from Cassidy Lee. She just couldn’t miss, hitting three three-pointers and nine two-point buckets as she put out everything she had to get a win for her team. Lee ended her night with a game high 35 points. Ohnstad had five points this half, and Olivia Tucker got into the books scoring four. The Dragons still had balance in their scoring. This time it was Kannenberg taking the lead with 11 points. Rightman ended her night scoring eight. Daniels and Shaffer added six each, Horstman and Allie Webster closed the books scoring two each. “Another tough loss for us,” Pirates coach Penny Curtin said after the game. “We came out flat and slow the beginning of the game and the beginning of the second half. “About midway in the second half we changed to a man defense and picked up the pace. We were able to close the gap to within one, thanks to Cassidy Lee, whose shooting was on fire. She just couldn’t miss in the second half. They tried to double her up and she still scored 27 points in the second half. We need to

play with that much intensity the entire game.” Siren coach Ryan Karsten shared his thoughts on Caitlynn Daniels’ accomplishments and basketball career: “Caitlynn has played on the varsity for four years and has been a starter for most of the last three years. She is a great student that gets excellent grades and is going to attend the University of Minnesota Duluth in the fall. “Caitlynn has the ability to read the floor and know where the ball is going. She has averaged over 100 steals per year on varsity. That is the thing I will remember most about her. I bet 500 of her 1,000 points are on passes she has stolen and turned into a fast break layup. She is the best girl at that I have ever seen. She is a 1,000 point scorer who is 5’ 6” and has made fewer than 10 three-pointers in her career. In the world of basketball, that is tough to do. “Usually 1,000 point scorers are the tall post in the block or the shooting guard that hits a couple of hundred three-pointers to get them to 1,000-plus points. Caitlynn has done it the old fashioned way, with defense and driving the ball to the hoop. “In my 17 years here, Caitlynn is the sixth girl since the year 2000 to score 1,000-plus career points. “She joins Abby Johnson (Coyour), Caitlin Christ (Flanigan), Janey Emery, Carley Emery and Ashley Guevara. “I have been blessed to work with some great athletes in my time here at Siren, which include each of

these girls. Each of these girls and many others have worked extremely hard to make Siren girl’s basketball a program a winning program. That makes my job as a coach a very rewarding one.”

The church is not a building

Pastor Bill Schroder Lakeside Lutheran Church

How many of you remember using your hands and fingers to describe the church with these words and actions? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here is the church, and here is the steeple, open the doors, and look at the people.â&#x20AC;? The index fingers being the steeple, thumbs being the doors, and the rest of the fingers wiggling away as the doors were opened. There is another version of this depiction that follows the exact same steps until the doors of the church are opened and there are no people in the church. Instead of â&#x20AC;&#x153;look at all the peopleâ&#x20AC;? with fingers wiggling, the fingers are on the outside and of the hand and the words are,

I was reminded of the second version of this portrayal when a member of my congregation sent me a picture of a beautiful old church building in England that had been converted to a bar. She asked me what I thought of the picture and wondered if I thought this would one day happen in the U.S. My first thought when I viewed the picture was quite honestly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow! That is one nice looking barâ&#x20AC;?. However, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that as a pastoral response so here are a couple other thoughts that came to me.

FREDERIC SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST

The average age of those attending a worship service on a regular basis is increasing. Within 25 years there will be many empty church buildings and there will be far less need for full-time pastors like myself. But in my opinion Jesus was never meant to be confined to a building. The Christian church is where two or three are gathered in Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name. That certainly can take place in a church building, but then again it can take place in a home, in a park, in a chicken coop, or yes, even a bar.

Guacamole, anyone?

My sister’s kids were picky eaters. She often brought food for them for holidays at my house because they refused to eat anything “weird.” So, how did she manage to encourage her daughter to make guacamole? She said Nikki loves guacamole and makes it almost everyday after school. Wow, I was impressed. I assumed she doesn’t use raw onion or garlic, as most Wild Chow kids turn their noses up at strong flavors. Lisa Erickson Chunks are an issue too. When I asked to talk to Nikki, my sister happily put us on speaker phone. Nikki said she loves guacamole because it’s “yummy.” I asked her how she makes it, assuming it was from a premade packet. “Well, I take a whole avocado, ½ a lime—you squeeze the juice out, some chopped fresh red onion, 1/8 cup chopped cilantro, one clove of garlic ‘smushed’ through a garlic press–the one you gave my mom, Auntie Lisa. Then, I add some salt and pepper. That’s all. It’s easy.

Oh, I almost forgot, you can add tomatoes if you have them.”

Nikki’s guacamole 1 avocado, very ripe—but not brown ¼ red onion, chopped 1/8 cup cilantro 1 garlic clove, finely minced ½ lime, juiced ½ cup chopped tomatoes Salt and pepper to taste Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork, leaving some larger chunks of avocado. Add the onion, garlic, lime juice, tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with tortilla chips. Lisa Erickson is a food columnist who loves adventure and food. You can find more recipes at www.wildchow.com or email her at wildchowrecipes @ gmail. com.

GRANTSBURG—We all wished to rule the world at one point, right? And to make a set of guidelines that everyone (and I mean everyone) had to follow would be pretty empowering. Instead of thinking politically, though, maybe the entire world would benefit from thinking more optimistically — like Andrea Nightengale’s first grade class. We need more idealistic thinkers nowadays — and with the visionaries of this upcoming generation, this won’t be a problem. Without further adieu, this is what a few of her students responded with when posed with this question: If you had one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
