Champions For the ﬁrst time since 2004, the Grantsburg Pirates went undefeated and are Champions of the Lakeland North Conference after their win over the Flambeau Falcons on Friday night. The Pirates were a perfect 9-0, and will open up the playoffs at home against Elmwood/Plum City on Friday. See the full story on Page 17.

Bears might be having last laugh GRANTSBURG—So far, no bear. It has been more than a month since the Grantsburg Village Board made the decision to take out the two nuisance bear who, for the lack of a better descriptor, were terrorizing families with small children on Jackson Ave and E. Harrison St. in Grantsburg. The plan was for Wildlife Services personnel to put out bait, monitor those sites to be certain the bears are feeding there, establish a pattern and come in to take them out. “There have been baits set out to attract the target bear but those animals have not come in yet,” Steve Hoffman, wildlife biologist with the DNR, explained. “The baits that have been hit are being hit by other bears.” No word was available at press time on any updated plans.

GRANTSBURG—The Sentinel’s front page story last week regarding unknown explosions generated quite a bit of lip service and at least one “confession.” “Some guy had seen the paper, said he figured it was him making the unknown noise so he wanted to call and let us know,” Jeff Schinzing, Chief of Police in Grantsburg, reported. The source of the loud, explosion-like noise turned out to be tannerite. On-line sources identify tannerite as a binary explosive, a combination of two relatively stable powders that, when mixed, form an explosive powder, not unlike gun powder. The tannerite is marketed primarily for making exploding targets for firearms practice. “The guy said he wasn’t doing anything wrong and he wasn’t — it’s perfectly legal,” Schinzing continued. “Plus, he was using it at the gun range, where it ought to be used.” According to Wikipedia, the tannerite manufacturer recommends using no more than a half-pound of the mixed composition at once, for safety reasons. It was reported, however, this guideline is not always followed and the product can be readily purchased in larger amounts. “The man who called said he was using twopounds of the substance at a time — that might account for the window-rattling explosions people reported,” Schinzing concluded.

Chalk Art contest for October BURNETT COUNTY—October is National Bullying Prevention Month and Healthy Burnett has joined the effort to raise awareness about preventing bullying by organizing a Chalk Art Competition with local schools this week. Organizations around the world, from Burnett County to New Zealand, are working to raise awareness about how to prevent bullying in their communities. Nationally, one in four students will experience bullying this year, and Burnett County is no different. According to the 2014 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 29 percent of high school students reported being bullied in the previous 12 months. Bullying can negatively impact educational performance, erode self-esteem and self-worth, cause anxiety and depression, and lead to thoughts of selfharm. Healthy Burnett, the community coalition formed by Burnett County DHHS-Public Health and Burnett Medical Center in 2013 to address the top health needs in Burnett County, has taken this opportunity to team with local schools to raise awareness about this important issue. “The Chalk Art Competition is an opportunity to partner with area schools to spread the message of taking action to prevent bullying through outdoor artistic drawing,” said Marceleen Mosher, Development and Communications Coordinator of Northwest Passage — a youth mental health treatment orga-

nization serving at-risk teens in Burnett County and Wisconsin, and one of the organizations actively involved in Healthy Burnett. “Bullying can affect everyone, and intervention is equally important to help those who are bullied, as well as those who bully.” According to Pacer’s National Bullying Prevention Center, 57 percent of bullying situations end when a peer intervenes. Guided by this fact, Healthy Burnett chose a positive message for the schools to incorporate into their drawings that will encourage students to rally around one simple action — ‘Don’t wait. Make a difference today.’ The statement urges students to intervene in bullying situations — by standing up to bullying, and by reaching out to those who are harmed by bullying. The school districts of Webster, Siren, Grantsburg, Northwest Journey, and Northwest Passage’s Prairieview are all participating in the Chalk Art Competition. Students will create the drawings on their campuses throughout the week of October 19.

“W lk Art A t Competition, C titi “We h hope th the Ch Chalk along with other bullying-prevention efforts at our school, will get our students talking about bullying and considering their power to prevent it,” said Melissa Fitzenberger, School Counselor of Webster Middle School and member of Healthy Burnett. “As damaging as bullying is, there is hope, because bullying is an issue that can be prevented.” The completed chalk art drawings will be evaluated by a panel of judges. The winning school will receive $300 to use toward department needs. The completed drawings can be

The Chalk Art Competition is organized by the Healthy Burnett “Stigma Squad”, a volunteer committee devoted to breaking the negative stigma surrounding mental health — the top health need identified in the community health needs assessment conducted by Burnett County DHHS-Public Health and Burnett Medical Center in 2013.

Bits and pieces As you read this you may idly wonder where he gets his column material. Well, it’s late Saturday afternoon and I’m thinking the same thing — what will I write about this week?

Colors I did take Thursday off of work so the wife and I could venture north to our favorite state park — the Porkies. She saw a post on face-disgrace or whatever it is called saying the colors at the park were 100 percent. Figuring there was no way every tree could lose every leaf overnight, we gave the cat a little extra food and made a bee line for the border. It was fun to watch the progression, or maybe regression would be the appropriate term, for the colors we witnessed as we drove north. Most of the hardwoods in our immediate area were past peak but still brilliant in their own way — even to Spooner it was pretty much the same. But as soon as we headed north on Hwy. 63, the color palette was getting its exercise. Maybe it’s because there are more trees closer to the road but the colors were awesome. I guess the highlight of the trip up Wednesday night was Seems the stretch of the highway beto Me tween Hayward and Ashland. There are a lot of birch trees Todd Beckmann along that route and the differing reds, oranges and yellows were amazing. Of course, the white bark of the tree just set off the color of the leaves even more. The only thing missing would have been to see a bear but you can’t have everything — we did get to see an eagle so all was not lost. Because the color around Cable was at peak, one would figure another hour further north didn’t hold promise but we have found the waters of Lake Superior help the trees in the park retain their color so we were treated to the same outstanding reds, oranges and yellows we saw the day before. I don’t know if it’ll be our last tip to the Porkies this year or not but it was a very good decision to go.

Tourney time Most fall high school sports are into their tournament runs —it’s such an exciting time. How far will the Grantsburg football Pirates make it in their quest to play at Camp Randall Stadium? Which Grantsburg and/or Webster runners will qualify to run at Wisconsin Rapids on Halloween?

Corn Cob 5K Always looking for something new, the Grantsburg 24-hour Fitness Center held its 6th annual Corn Cob 5K at Memory Lake Park for the first time. The weather couldn’t have been nicer for a run — there was a good mix of young and old out for Saturday’s race and the youngster’s won the day. Luckily I only had to shoot the event, not participate.

Becoming the ‘Chief’ Nature or nurture, the ancient argument over what determines the people we become. Are we “hard wired” in our DNA to be the way we are, or does the way we are raised trump genetics? I don’t think it has been proved conclusively, but as I age, I seem to be turning into my father. This is both comforting and frightening at the same time. Like many other sons during From the my teen years, I Publisher’s vowed never to be like my father. But Desk I often catch myself thinking and Tom Stangl acting the way my late father Arved, aka “The Chief,” would in similar situations. Don’t get me wrong, the Chief was a good father in many ways, but boy oh boy in other ways he was very cringe worthy. One of the things he liked to do when my daughters were young was load them up on sugar when we visited for the day. My parents had a cornucopia of treats waiting for my daughters. After lunch, have a piece of pie or cake. Mid afternoon, how about some ice cream or

cookies? Late afternoon, how about some of those fun size candy bars? When we were getting ready to go home, a baggie of jelly beans, candy bars and whatever else that was sugar laden around the house was given to each of my girls, who were so hopped up on sucrose, dextrose and high fructose corn syrup that we often had meltdowns on the trip home. Every time we would visit, I would ask the Chief to lighten up on the treats. Like many grandparents, he simply did what he wanted, forcing me to be the villain. Part of me vowed not to be that way with my grandchildren. The other part of me secretly wanted to be the papa that indulged forbidden treats. It is the struggle many grandparents have when the little ones come to call. Recently, my daughters and granddaughters came for a visit on a Saturday. We had a small pan of brownies cut into very small squares, made fresh that morning. Granddaughter Sephie is 7, and can pack away the treats if she is given the opportunity. Sera is 16 months old and has the walking thing down, even with her shoes on. She has many of her teeth, still getting the molars. After swinging on the play set in the back yard, playing catch with

Sephie’s frisbee and chasing the dogs around the back yard, it was time for a break. Sera likes to keep moving, so we always have someone shadowing her movements, making sure she doesn’t get into trouble. So when the small brownies were divvied out, Sera made her way to her mother to get a bite of the brownie, which she was given. She liked it. A lot. So she made the rounds of the room, much like Helen Keller in the movie “The Miracle Worker,” getting a small bite of brownie from several of us. At one point, she was walking backwards, looking like she was moonwalking like Michael Jackson. This was when my Arved subroutine kicked in, feeding her nearly an entire small brownie. We both had a good time until I was told to stop. I don’t believe any harm was done, but I understand limiting the sugar. I’m sure somewhere the Chief was smiling. As always, I welcome your comments.

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 What was he thinking? Dear Editor: We can not believe Adam Jarchow has introduced a bill designed to fine landowners who ask trespassing hunters to leave their land. We will not vote for him next election. Daniel Anderson Trade River

No Social Security increase in 2016 Dear Editor: Wisconsin middle class, $35,000 to $100,000; 72 percent less than $50,000. We pay our members of Congress $173,000. No wonder we can’t get the $118,500 income cap off to save Social Security. AARP has tried and I have tried with Feingold and Duffy face to face and with Baldwin and Johnson. Two letters have been sent as well, but with no response. Does anyone care about those on Social Security? The above named can’t really identify with us. They are the wealthy protecting their own. Why don’t we cap their salary at $100,000 and change them all out? I find that neither the Republican nor the Democratic party relates to the middle class. Why? Special interest groups seem to have the power and control over all of us. Sending the general public mailers or showing TV ads is a waste of time and money. How carefully is all this stuff fact checked? We are past due for a new middle class party with one goal — to grow the middle class in all areas and to help boot strap up those not in the middle class. So far, three debates and many promises later, most will not likely get approved by Congress. Of the 22 candidates, I find only one that has the experience and skills to solve our problems, as measured by

Gallup Polls. The blowhards seem to be winning. How sad! Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me! How do we grow the middle class? Implement the best 3K-12 public education program and continue job training. The best return on investment of all our resources is technical schools and two year degrees. Currently, four year university graduation rates are approximately 55 percent or less. That means a 45 percent dropout rate. Some employers pay for or help pay for advanced degrees for serious candidates. Misdirection of students is not only costly, but a waste of time and effort. About every two years, I review both major party’s platform, and I find that my values and beliefs don’t fit into either party niche. I also find that both parties like to debate, defend, and verbally assassinate each other. I prefer the symptom, problem, and solution method, finding the best practice and experimenting with the process in one of our 50 states before it is rolled out nationally. Policy means wise management. Really? No do-overs? Rich Hess Trade Lake

Congratulations to Grantsburg’s football team, going undefeated (9-0) and Conference Champs! Many of us dug out the winter wear to attend the cool (cold) evening at the game. Brrr! Hope everyone had a chance this week to enjoy nature at its peak! What beautiful colors! While taking my Mom for a drive to see the awesome colors, we encountered a porcupine waddling across the road. I think Mom got a little worried that he might get too excited and do something nasty! He did have traffic stopped both ways. Oh, you gotta love Wisconsin! Nature at its best, where you never know what is going to be around the next bend or road. Maybe you have an experience to tell about. Stop in and share.

Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Grantsburg Dollar Store for all the items they donated to us (toilet paper, Tide Laundry Soap, tooth brushes, tooth paste, and all of the other items that their store had for people to buy for the food shelf). But most of all, thanks is given to all of the community and individuals who stopped in the store and

We hosted our last evening dining for the season on Thursday evening. Thank you,Girls! We said our farewells for the winter to our friends from the park, too. We’ll look forward to seeing them again in the spring. Care for some local history? Stop in here at the Center on Thursday October 22 at 5:30 p.m. for the Historical Society’s Potluck and this month the meeting topic, “Harvests and Harvesting.” There are many pictures that need to be identified and they can use your help. And don’t forget to stop in at Darrell’s Hardware. There’s an awesome display to check out. Maybe you can identify someone in the pictures too! The Nifty, Thrifty table at the center, is going well. We’re even getting some craft items. Be sure and check things

out! Stop in! Check us out! WiFi, coffee and goodies. Maybe you’re in need of some conversation. In need of a good book? We have many! Check out the “Book Nook”.

purchased these items. It helps our clients and it helped the Grantsburg Food Shelf, so we were able not to have to purchase these items. We have been so fortunate for all the food drives that this town has done for us —Burnett Medical Center, Parker, Health and Fitness Center, the Grantsburg Schools, the High School Homecoming Contests, and the many churches that donate to us. Others are Faith Lutheran Church for their Community Garden that provided our clients with fresh vegetables this season, the Holiday Gas Station, and Grantsburg Family Foods for their donations. I hope I have not forgotten anyone, but if I did, I thank you as well. With the rising cost of meat and eggs, we would also encourage monetary donations. Remember, they are tax deductible. We will send you a letter at the end of the year of your donations. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful, caring community that reaches out to our Food Shelf. Last, but not least, a big “Thank You” to all the people who sign up to help us at the Food Shelf. The Tuesday folks who help replenish our shelves with Lyman Rand collecting at the two stores for us. The Wednesday people when our shipment of food is delivered to us. Our loads are always over 1,000 pounds and thank you to the muscle power who help us. The Thursday people when we distribute the food. Every job that is done is needed and helps us and is appreciated. Also thanks to Mark Dumas for re-doing the shelves so they were the required height. We could not do this if we did not have your support and help. Many thanks to all of you. Linda Anderson, Food Shelf President Terri Andersen, Food Shelf Manager

tion between a candidate’s campaign and the so-called issue PACs. This allows practically unlimited secret campaign contributions from corporations, PACs and wealthy individuals without those donations being readily available for review by voters. And there is a huge increase in maximum political donations. This looks very much like legalized bribery. Then there is the proposal to split the nonpartisan Government Accountability Board into two agencies headed by political appointees. This proposal sets the stage for massive corruption. I do like the proposal to allow online voter registration, but this proposal does not include all eligible voters. The same bill would end the ability of organizations such as the League of Women Voters to be deputized and conduct voter registration drives in poor neighborhoods, nursing and assisted living homes, public libraries. This provision is blatantly anti-democracy. I hope that each of you, Sheila and Adam, vote a resounding NO to any of these provisions. Please don’t be a partner in making legal that which is unethical. I will be watching how you vote on these issues. Gail Lando Grantsburg

NEWSLINE Belanger receives Ed Armstrong Achievement Award

GRANTSBURG—Robyn K Belanger, the senior branch office administrator, BOA, of the Grantsburg Edward Jones office, recently received the Ed Armstrong Achievement Award award. Belanger works with Edward Jones financial advisor Josh Prusinski. Belanger said she is honored by the recognition. “I enjoy my work helping Josh help people in this community plan for their financial futures, but it gives me an extra boost to receive special recognition for my work.” Edward Jones, a Fortune 500 company, provides financial services for individual investors in the United States.

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—The county may still be half a year from building a new combination highway/forestry shop but details of the new shop are starting to emerge — that was the tone of Wednesday’s infrastructure committee meeting. “Things are really coming together,” Jon Wallencamp, architect for Kueny and Associates, told members. The option the county is proceeding with calls for the construction of a 60,000 square foot structure capable of housing 29 large vehicles, 22 smaller vehicles and the building would include some secure impound area for the sheriff’s department. The price tag is listed at just over $5 million. “We have tweaked the interior layout, everything from using existing furniture where we can and allowing in as much natural light as possible to using diesel versus natural gas in case of an emergency and a gabled roof versus a membrane roof,” he explained. While the building project is expected to last between 10 and 12 months, Wallenkamp said the existing operation will remain “active” while the construction is taking place. “The first phase will be to the west of the existing shop,” he continued. “Once it’s done, we’ll move things to the new shop and begin the second phase where the current shop now stands.” Nate Ehalt, county administrator, said if the project is to commence in 2016, things will go quick. “We’ll need a committee of the whole — probably in November, so the entire board can see the progress of the shop proposal,” he remarked. “We’re also going to need to figure the specs of the new building, when the bidding should be done plus how the county is going to finance this project.” He said he hopes to have the financials close to finalized by the November administration committee. For his part, Wallenkamp said the county should be prepared to

In other business: • The Highway 35 mill and resurface project from Tewalt Road to Bacon St. in Siren, originally on the planning books for 2017, has been pushed back to 2021. “From what I hear, there will be no new blacktop north of Hwy. 8 for five years,” Bob Morehouse, highway commissioner, told committee members. “If that’s the case, you’ll be seeing a lot of chip seal projects on our roads.” Apparently, the Department of Transportation is focusing its ef-

forts around the Milwaukee area during that time frame. • In related news, Ehalt said that following interviews late last month, Michael Hoefs has tentatively agreed, contingent on acceptance by the entire county board which meets next week, to become the new highway commissioner. “We are going to have Bob (Morehouse) work with him in the coming months plus get him started on a good training program for his first year,” he explained. “The training is necessary so he’s where we need him to be (experience-wise).” • In regard to the ‘hill’ between the roundabout and the airport runway, Jeremy Sickler, airport manager, told members Bureau of Aeronautics (BOA) rules state there will be no threshold over five feet in the approach area of an airport. “From that point of view, I think we’re in a good position to negotiate the elimination of that hill,” he reported. As far as the ponds, Sickler said the land containing the runoff ponds is in the highway right-ofway so the county doesn’t have much say. “We won’t know if the DOTs plan (that the water will drain and/or evaporate) will work until there’s some vegetation which takes root,” Sickler pointed out.

MADISON—As required by state statute on Oct. 15 of each year, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is providing the certified amount each school district will receive from the general state aid appropriation, which is $4.476 billion for the 2015-16 school year. The amount of general state aid available for school districts was unchanged from last year. Overall, 44 percent of the state’s public school districts (186 of 424) will receive more general state aid this school year than they did in 2014-15. Certified general aid amounts may differ from July 1 aid estimates because they are based on audited school district data from the previous school year. The audited numbers include membership, property value, and eligible expenditures. School membership, which is not the same as enrollment, decreased by more than 2,500 full-time equivalent (FTE) students and totaled 854,419 FTE. Overall statewide property valuations increased for the first time in six years and range across school districts from $8.2 million per pupil to $172,100 per pupil, a ratio of 49:1 between the most and least property wealthy districts in the state. The $4.476 billion in general state aid does not include funding allocated to school districts for categorical aid for various programs or per pupil categorical aid. Categorical aid for programs such as special education, transportation, and bilingual-bicultural aid will total $751.7 million for 2015-16 and is paid on different schedules than general state aid. The appropriation for per pupil categorical aid is $127 million. School districts will receive $150 per FTE pupil, the same as last year. That categorical aid will be paid in July 2016. For the three districts in the county, Grantsburg’s aid will increase from $4,763,625 to $5,069,095 , an increase of $305,470 or 6.41 percent. In Siren, their aid is dropping from $597,984 to $571,124, a loss of $26,860 or 4.49 percent. Webster’s general state aid also dropped from $98,698 to $83,831, a loss of $14,867 or 15.06 percent.

Seeking help with health survey SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Community members are asked to share their opinion about the health needs of Burnett County by taking a brief survey. The survey results will be used by Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)-Public Health, Burnett Medical Center (BMC), and the Healthy Burnett coalition to guide activities to improve health. Public health departments and non-profit hospitals are required by law to complete a health needs assessment and improvement process every 3-5 years using community input. The process enables partners to gain a clear understanding of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and assets, and then to proactively and strategically act to improve health. The survey is an important piece in understanding community needs. The survey consists of 11 questions and should take less than five minutes to complete. It is available online or in paper form. To complete the online survey, go to www.surveymonkey.com/r/ bu r net tc ou nt yhe a lt h su r vey. Paper surveys are available at Grantsburg and Webster libraries, Burnett Medical Center, Burnett County Government Center, Siren Shell Lake Clinic, Ingalls Clinic,

Grantsburg and Siren Village Offices, and Burnett County senior centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are asking community members to take an active role in identifying our top health issues,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Miller, Interim Health Officer and WIC Director, Burnett County DHHS-Public Health.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are asking community members to take an active role.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sarah Miller Interim Health Officer â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, next spring we will invite community members and key stakeholders to review the results of the assessment and help prioritize the needs. From there, a plan of action will be created to address the top needs identified.â&#x20AC;? Along with the opinions and themes shared through the survey, the health assessment looks at county and state data on disease and death rates, health behaviors, access to care, environmental factors, and socioeconomic factors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The survey results help us understand what the community

sees as our top health issues. We use that information, along with public health data, to make decisions about where, as a community, we should focus our health improvement efforts,â&#x20AC;? said Alyssa Rumpel, Marketing Director at Burnett Medical Center. The last assessment, completed in 2013, identified mental health as the top issue in Burnett County. Healthy Burnett brings together key stakeholders to enhance how the community addresses identified needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 2013, Healthy Burnett has benefited from actively engaged members who have obtained grant funding and implemented evidence-based strategies to address the identified health needs. If people are interested in learning more about Healthy Burnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts, we encourage them to visit the Healthy Burnett website: www.healthyburnett.org,â&#x20AC;? stated Rumpel. Questions regarding the survey and Healthy Burnett can be directed to Sarah Miller, Interim Health Officer and WIC Director at Burnett County DHHS-Public Health (715-349-7600, ext. 1265), or Alyssa Rumpel, Marketing Director at Burnett Medical Center (715463-7285).

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Life Happensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with Mad City Money

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I buy an expensive car and house, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford clothes and food.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lesson learned from one teenager who participated in Mad City Money, a simulation for high school students that teaches basic money management in a safe, fun setting. Face it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a presentation on budgeting likely will put teens to sleep. Yet the hands-on simulation appeals to teens and gives them a taste of the real world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; complete with occupation, salary, spouse, student loan debt, credit card debt, and medical insurance payments. Teens get an instant family and then move about the stations to purchase housing, transportation, food, clothing, household necessities, day care, and other needs. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s included in the simulation? A mall for â&#x20AC;&#x153;wants,â&#x20AC;? a pushy car salesperson, a commission-based realtor, and the Fickle Finger of Fate. You guessed it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; life happens. And in addition to several other merchants, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a credit union for financial services. Bottom line? Teens learn that erasers and calculators are important tools for creating a monthly budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a puzzle,â&#x20AC;? said one teen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to use all the pieces and they all have to fit.â&#x20AC;? A Mad City Money simulation is coming to the Crex Convention Center in Grantsburg on October 28. This simulation is for the entire Grantsburg High School Senior Class! Officials are looking for volunteers to help from approximately 8:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. If you would like to volunteer or need more information, please contact Andrea at the Grantsburg Indianhead Credit Union at 715-463-5515.

Recreation and education BY MEG ROD SENTINEL INTERN

GRANTSBURG—Even if it seemed the Grantsburg Public Library could not get any more renovated after all the changes that came this spring, it just recently did. Everything seemed to be finished inside the Bruce Erickson Learning Center — but this all changed when a 75-inch high-definition Smart T.V. was installed in late September. It was a part of the initial renovation plans to make this purchase, so it was only a matter of time and money to obtain the television. This was not much of a problem for the Friends of the Library when they got help from the community and the Jensen Foundation, which donated money to the cause as well. A chart spotted with colorful stickers used to be hanging on the wall before the television replaced it. This is where the community could chip in — with buying $5 dots that would later go toward purchasing the big screen. “We gained about $800 from the chart,” estimated Kristina Kelley-Johnson, the director at the library. This money was combined with generous donations from the Jensen Foundation, mainly by the children of Walter Jensen. The television acts much like a computer — the remote even acts more like a mouse. The screen’s display shows quality pictures, videos, and presentations with vivid colors and quality resolution. “My thought is having students make

presentations to our community using the Smart TV at the Bruce Erickson Learning Center. This can cover many areas such as a science study, an art project, social issues, music, and language arts — the list goes on.” remarked Joe Lando, a member of the Friends of the Library as well as a retired teacher. Whether a student wants to present a power point in a professional setting or simply watch videos from the couch, the television is open for public use. When it is not being used, outdoor scenery is on display in high definition — making the learning center a cozy, tranquil place to be. “My favorite is when we have a fireplace, people say the room feels warmer just by looking at it,” laughs Kelley-Johnson, who plans on hanging stockings above the crackling fire when Christmas-time comes around. When asked if the Smart T.V. was going to be used more for recreational or educational purposes, both Kelley-Johnson and Lando agreed on an answer immediately. They hope it can be a mix of both, but it is up to the community on how it will ultimately be used. One of the main points that the Friends of the Library would want people to know is that the television is meant for the public, and to not shy away from using it. In order to enjoy the learning center’s newest addition, it is as simple as asking the library staff. “It’s a gift to the community, we want them to come in and utilize it,” commented Kelley-Johnson.

Art and craft fair gives back BY BILL THORNLEY SPOONER ADVOVCATE

VOYAGER VILLAGE—What began as a little arts and crafts show at the Voyager Village Clubhouse many years ago has grown to be one of the largest, most popular, high-quality arts and crafts shows in Northwestern Wisconsin and a Labor Day Weekend tradition looked forward to by thousands each autumn. The Voyager Village Arts and Crafts Show shines the spotlight on many talented Minnesota and Wisconsin artists and craftsmen, from painters to wood carvers to authors and much more. And a few weeks after the huge show each autumn, the Voyager Village Arts and Crafts Show Committee gives back to the area, distributing money from the show to help worthy organizations in Burnett and Washburn counties. “The Voyager Village Arts and Crafts Show has 250-plus volunteers,” said Don Hallberg, committee funding chairperson. “We have a lot of volunteers and about 100 vendors that are gathered by invitation. It’s a very high-quality show, and annually draws about 6,000 people.” Funds were distributed to several groups at a news conference held October 8 at Kilkare Lodge near the Voyager Village Clubhouse on the shores of Birch Island Lake. Those who received checks spoke of their organizations and were very grateful to the committee for the financial help. Restorative Justice, Siren Restorative Justice, based in Siren, was represented by Tammy Hopke. “We take a different look at crime than the court system and we look to repair the harm,” said Hopke. “This money will help many programs.” Voyager Village Cross Country Ski Club The club has existed for 10 years and has 11 miles of trails around the golf course, reported Diane Gilbertson and Lynn Okgren, accepting the check. A sliding hill for children also will benefit from the money. Wild River Habitat for Humanity Denise Van Vleet accepted for Habitat for Humanity, and said, “We help those unable to get a conventional loan and are low income get homes in commu-

nities and make sure they have a stable home.” Burnett County Humane Society “Our mission is to find homes for surrendered or stray animals in Burnett County,” said Mindy Clark. “We are really busy right now with an influx of cats, and dogs too.” Webster Elementary Backpacks The school was represented by Gladys Beers and June Dobkins, who reported, “We pack like 100 backpacks a week. We put in something for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a coupon for a gallon of milk a week.” Cub and Boy Scouts Bill Lindberg represented Pack 564 and Troop 564, and serves as the cub master for all of Burnett County. The funding, he said, will help them a lot. “Last year we had 33 kids,” said Lindberg. “Now we have 72, we’ve more than doubled. We have three families we’ll be sponsoring this year because of financial difficulties – we’ll be buying books, neckerchiefs and uniforms, so that’s what this money will go for, plus a family camp.” Yellow River Food Distribution Larry and Debbie O’Connell represented the organization as members of God’s People Serving (GPS), a group of 10 area Lutheran churches. It is run out of Connections in Webster, with distribution the third Thursday of each month. “We’re averaging 480 families per month, a total of over 1,200 people that we are helping,” said Larry. “They come from 13 different communities in the area. Anyone that is in need of food, we ask no questions. Indianhead Action Agency Connection Crystal Meyer runs the Connections Store and was at Voyager Village. “This money is going to our food shelf to help with turkeys for Thanksgiving,” she said of the donation. “We serve about 260 families.” She also helps homeless veterans as case manager in Burnett and Sawyer counties. Larsen Family Public Library Board President Laura Rachford was present at Voyager Village for the event. “Thank you very much, Arts and Crafts Board,” she said. “We really ap-

What you don’t know can hurt you SPOONER—Saying hearing loss is ‘just a fact of life’ is as outdated as the hearing instruments once used to treat the loss. Hearing loss doesn’t happen because you are 60 years old; it’s caused by what your ears were exposed to through 60 years of your life. There is no ‘age’ you should expect it to happen at either; 1 in 5 teens have hearing loss due to noise exposure. The issue is…how do you know when you have it? We’ve all asked someone to repeat. Maybe you weren’t paying attention; maybe the background noise was too loud to hear every single word or maybe you misheard them the first time and what you heard didn’t make sense to you. Mishearing happens when the signal from the ear confuses your brain. You miss one word and the brain says, “Wait! That cannot be what he just said.” While similar, hearing loss is very different. Hearing loss happens when you have damage to the ear, resulting in bad signals being sent to the brain. Almost like an illusion, your brain actually thinks you’ve received the correct signal. This is when you hand someone peanuts instead of a tissue for their runny nose. Miscommunication due to hearing loss may be laughable to one person and completely devastating to another; it depends on what the mix up was. However, the concern is not about mishearing

— it’s about the devastating effect that mishearing has on your brain. For years, highly regarded medical institutions have published studies on the correlation between hearing loss and brain loss; primarily dementia, brain function decline and cross modal reorganization. With research this significant, it begs the question — why aren’t more people getting routine hearing checks? A hearing test is not only for those with a hearing problem. If you like hearing music, TV, birds and people (to name a few) then you should be checking the status of your hearing. You do many other things for preventative health measures, like getting a mammogram and colonoscopy, for example. Hearing health check-ups should be treated no differently. Waiting until you have a hearing problem to get it checked is like waiting until you have a cavity to brush your teeth. Putting off the treatment of hearing loss doesn’t harm your ears — it causes irreversible damage to your brain. The newest research is alarming and vital for you to know. Therefore, we will be conducting two seminars near you. We will be at Fresh Start Coffee Roasters in Webster at 10 a.m. on November 4, and The Wakeup Call Coffee House in Grantsburg at 10 a.m. on November 10. While free to everyone, space is limited, so call 715-939-1296 to reserve your seat today.

preciate this. This money will be used to pay down debt. Every cent we are raising is going towards reducing the debt. Interfaith Caregivers Burnett County Caregivers was represented by Director Barb Blodgett. “We have five major programs,” she said. “We build wheelchair ramps for people who need them. We also have a Heat-a-Home program – we give wood to people who do not have the means to heat their home all winter. We have the Christmas for Kids program – we provide gifts of toys and clothing to children in the Burnett County area. Last year we had 419 children.” Webb Lake Fire and Rescue Firefighter Dave Whitcomb was on hand to accept the check for Webb Lake Fire and Rescue. “We provide the community with fire and rescue service,” he said. “We’re currently surveying every property in Webb Lake – there are about 1,070 properties to be surveyed, a three-year program called the Firewise Program. Webb Lake First Responders Also on hand from Webb Lake was Jim Fischer, representing Webb Lake Area First Responders. “We are a fully self-supporting,

state-certified, not-for-profit organization,” he said. “We rely on donations and good folks like the Arts and Crafts Fair Board that continually helps us. We could not exist without you. This money will go to good use.” Jackson Fire Department Don Uecker of the Jackson Fire Department accepted the check from Voyage Village, saying the money will help four people currently in training to become rescue divers. Scott Fire Department Dave Okonek, a firefighter for 25-plus years, represented the Scott Fire Department at the event. “Besides fighting fires we also are in the Firewise Program with Jackson and Webb Lake,” he said. “We hold meat raffles at What the Heck as fundraisers. We really appreciate this – it is a pleasure working for you people. “We have mutual aid between our three departments, and we work in cooperation with the DNR [Department of Natural Resources]. Again, thank you for this money, it will be put to good use. It costs a lot to run a department. A lot comes from donations. From fireproof boots to gas for trucks, and inflation keeps raising it. We really appreciate this donation.”

The check was delivered to him at his beneﬁt in Withee on Saturday. Maki (center) is surrounded by Siren Dragons including (from left) Coach Ryan Karsten, Bailey Mangen, Brady Mangen, Dolan Highstrom, Garret Hunter, Eric Bruss, future Dragon ConLee Karsten, and Josiah Wegner.

Mr. Kent writes a mystery series set in the north woods of Minnesota. His protagonist is part Irish and part Ojibwe. His works have received a number of awards. Instead of accepting a $1,000 honorarium, he asked the Friends of the Library to use that money to “purchase books and other publications that speak to Native issues, cultures, education, and any other area that will advance an understanding of indigenous people.” This entire book purchase will be available for checkout at the Larsen Family Public Library by mid-October. There is a list of all of these books available for you to take home, listing all of the books

Pirates take conference crown with perfect 9-0 record head coach Adam Hale said of his team. “This group had truly committed themselves to team goals and put in a lot of work and had it pay off tonight in wrapping up a great regular season that they’ll never forget.” The Pirates have put on a strong showing in a majority of their games this season, racking up 314 points while only giving up 69 points to their opponents, with a good chunk of those coming late in games with the JV players on the field. Grantsburg averaged just under 35 points per game, while allowing an average of just 7.7 points per game. The Pirates earned a No. 2 seed in the Division 6 playoffs, and will host the No.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirate football team ended their season in front of a hometown crowd with a 28-6 win over the Flambeau Falcons Friday night. This win capped off a perfect 9-0 regular season and the Lakeland North Conference title. Not since 2004 has a Pirate squad been able to run the table and go undefeated and claim the conference championship. “I couldn’t be happier for our team and the five seniors to end the regular season with a win and go 9-0,” Pirates

7 seed Elmwood/Plum City on Friday night. EPC plays in the Lakeland South conference, and finished third behind Pepin/Alma and Clayton with a 5-2 conference record and 6-3 overall record. In Friday’s game, Grantsburg scored first on a one yard run from Leo Chenal. Avery Fagerberg kicked the point after to give the Pirates the early 7-0 lead. The Pirates struck twice in the second quarter. First, it was a Fagerberg run up the middle for 21 yards. He added the point after to put the Pirates up 14-0. The second score came from a pass from Fagerberg to Jaeger Staeven who ran around a pile of players to find paydirt. The PAT was good, giving the Pirates a 21-0 lead heading into the half. Grantsburg scored one time in the third quarter. Leo Chenal ran this one in from seven yards out. Fagerberg’s PAT was good to make it 28-0. Flambeau scored their only points in the fourth quarter on a pass from Jared Maple to Chase Grootenhousen. The two-point conversion failed, ending the scoring for the night. Like many games this season, the Grantsburg defense played solid all night long. The Pirates had three take-

Webster falls in VB WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers continued their inspired play and forced Colfax to a fifth and deciding game in Tuesday’s opening round of the WIAA Volleyball Division 3 tournament. The No. 3-seeded Vikings beat the No. 6-seeded Tigers 25-12, 20-25, 23-25, 25-18 and 15-10. The Tigers were poised for the upset by winning two of the first three games but couldn’t stop the Vikings in the fourth game to knot the match at two games apiece. Colfax ended Webster’s season by winning the final game 15-10. See Page 19 for updated brackets.

aways— two interceptions, one by Austin Olson, the other by John Chenal, and a fumble recovery as Mason McEvers gobbled up the loose ball. “I thought on defense we were again solid all night. We did a great job of not allowing the big play and keeping the Falcons out of the red zone,” Hale said. “I thought we did a good job up the middle with John Chenal and Mason McEvers at linebacker and Avery Fagerberg filling from his safety position. Chase Covey, Jake Wicklund and Bubba Bowman did a fantastic job on the line of scrimmage as well, with each of them recording at least three solo tackles.” “On the offensive side we moved the ball well early and built a nice cushion going up 21-0. Flambeau did a nice job of setting up some different defensive looks and putting pressure on our run game which resulted in some mistakes and poor series,” the coach added. “We need to be more consistant in the run game and connect on the big pass play opportunities we get, come next week.” The Pirates open up playoff action at home on Friday night. Game time is 7 p.m.

Inspired Tigers deﬂate Saints

Hilltoppers topple Tigers

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—”This is the way we’re capable of playing,” said Tiger coach Stefanie Janssen after her Tigers defeated the St. Croix Saints three games to one on Tuesday night. Game one was close through the early going until St. Croix moved up 12-9. At that point, Taylor Howe moved up to serve and when she was done, she had an ace as well as a 13-12 lead. Kaitlyn Moser boosted the score up to 17-14. A kill by Howe helped the Tigers get a 20-16 edge and Moser scored a kill to get it to 22-19. A serve just over the net by Moser completed game one, 25-22 Tigers. Game two was the Tigers from the get-go as they led all the way to the 22 mark with a tie at that point. It was 12-6 Webster before the Saints called time to regroup and they called another one at 18-11. St. Croix narrowed the game to that tie at 22, but they could only get one more tally. Howe’s front line play to go along with a kill got the Tigers game two, 25-23. At 4-4 early in game three, Webster pushed ahead to get a 12-9 edge, but the Saints came back to knot the game at 14. But an ace service by Sophie Phernetton pushed Webster’s lead to 18-14 and shortly SCF called time. The Saints had a 5-1 run to narrow the gap to 22-19 Webster, but that’s as far as they could go as the Tiger defense shut down the front line of St. Croix. Howe was again the front line leader for the Tigers as she had five

aces, eight kills, three blocks, five digs and 10 assists. Lydia Wilson was strong as well with two aces, three kills, two blocks four digs and one assist. Sophie Phernetton recorded an ace, seven kills, four blocks, three digs and an assist. Kaitlyn Moser added to her file an ace, nine kills, five blocks a dig and an assist. Hailey Hunter assisted 18 times.

Tigers suffer loss to Unity In the final conference game of the season, the Tigers lost to the Unity Eagles 3-1. Taylor Howe had 15 kills, nine digs, seven assists, an ace and two blocks. Bailey Woodford had an ace, a kill, five blocks, a dig and one assist. Kaitlyn Moser recorded six kills, an ace and one dig. Hailey Hunter assisted 19 times and had two digs.

GLENWOOD CITY—”We were beaten in every phase of the game Friday night,” quoted Tiger football coach Jovin Kroll following the 64-12 loss at Glenwood City. “They played faster than us, did a great job of hitting, and were stronger and more aggressive than us. In reality, I get that we had a ton of older kids not suiting up due to injury, but the result was pretty disappointing, after we did do a couple positive things the past few weeks, despite the scores. We’ll keep working though. There were a lot of freshmen and sophomores who gained a great deal of valuable experience this year, and they will benefit from that in the long run if they stick with it and work hard to improve. The “Toppers” put 22 points on the board in the first quarter and 30 additional in the second period of play. Webster scored their first touchdown in the second period on an 80 yard touchdown return on a Glenwood City kickoff. The PAT failed. The “Toppers” got one more score in the third and one in the fourth. The Tigers’ second score came on a 22 yard scamper by Taran Wols. Again the PAT was no good. The Wols brothers, Taran and Trenton, led the rushing effort with 16 and 15 yard respectively. In passing, Taran was eight for 19, good for 19 yards. Defensively, Simeon Wilson had four solo tackles with three assists, Grant Preston with four solos and an assist and JC Matrious with three solo tackles. “Our program has to thank our senior parents for all that they have done to help our program over the past four plus years. As their sons move towards graduation this spring, they can be proud, as they have raised a really kind, responsible group of young men. I know that this group will have great success in their next steps in life. We wish them all the best of luck, and they can hold their heads up high for the time and effort they put in to our program,” concluded Coach Kroll.

Cardinals nudge Dragons

GAME DAY

They narrowed the score to 7-6 Luck on kills by Abby Kosloski and Ashlee Rightman. Luck pushed their advantage to 11-7 and the Dragons called time. Siren clawed their way back into the game and tied it at 21. Lizzie Stanford had a kill. Kaitlynn Daniels recorded a block. The Dragons were actually one point away from a win at 24-23, but failed to capitalize on the situation, and came away with the loss. Game three went back and forth with Siren having the lead at first and then Luck taking it deeper into the contest. Daniels tapped the ball over the net to give Siren a tie at 18, but three

LUCK—In two of the three games played on Thursday at Luck, the scores couldn’t be any closer as the Luck Cardinals got by the Siren Dragons 25-18, 27-25 and 25-23. Siren got off to a 7-5 lead, helped by an ace by Allie Webster. Luck tied the game at eight and an ace by server Morgan Pfaff got it to 9-8 and it was 13-8 when Siren called time. The closest Siren got to Luck in the remainder of this game was at 13-12. Luck went on to take that first game by a margin of seven. The Dragons were trailing 5-0 in game two before their first point.

consecutive points by Luck forced the Dragons to take a time out. The break helped the Dragons as they came back with three of their own to tie it at 21 and a tap by Lizzie Stanford gave them a 23-21 lead. Luck then called time. The Cardinals then made two kills to knot the score at 23. Then a short return and a deflection by the Dragons gave Luck the win. No stats were made available by press time. Siren has a bye in the first round of the playoffs Tuesday. On Thursday, they will face the winner of the Lac Courte Oreilles/Birchwood match up in a 7 p.m. game at Siren.

Second half wins it for the Siren Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BIRCHWOOD—”We played very poorly in the first half, and had a hangover from the last four week of losses,” said Siren coach Ryan Karsten after his Dragons defeated the Birchwood Bobcats 54-38 Friday. “It took some halftime adjustments and motivational talk, but we found our groove in the second half. We decided to run the ball and run the ball we did. 43 carries for 396 yards and six rushing touchdown.” “We had two rushers over 100 yards — Josiah Wegner 22 times for 230 yards and four touchdowns. He also added an interception run back for a touchdown as well and Brady Mangen 12 times for 107 yards and one touchdown.”

Dolan Highstrom

“The line of Max Lindquist, Garret Hunter, Noah Koball, Neil Oustigoff, Sequia Bellanger, and running backs Tyler Anton, and Logan Meager really did a great job blocking tonight. I was happy with how we played in the second half.”

“Defensively, freshman Lukas Hunter and Tristen Ortez stepped up and played big minutes. Another bright spot was Noah Koball playing some tremendous corner, a new position for him. He didn’t give up a catch all night. Neil Oustigoff also contributed with two interceptions.” “The win got us into the WIAA Eight Man Jamboree and that was our number one goal of the season. We will again play in the 10 a.m. game (October 31) and this year we play Sevastopol. They are a very tough team from the east side of the state and are 7-2 this season.” “We play the Minnesota School of the Deaf this Friday. It will be Senior Night and Parents Night. Parent’s introductions start at 6:20 p.m. with the game at 7 p.m.”

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Grantsburg Pirates were up to their old ways again as they rolled through the West Lakeland Conference undefeated and claimed the title that has aluded them for a couple of seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went into this game already knowing we were conference champions, but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about it, promote it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheerâ&#x20AC;? it, or wear itâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;even though it was determined before the Luck game,â&#x20AC;? Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the girls for being classy, working hard, and earning a very hard-fought title in an extremely talented conference. Even with a few lackluster performances, they still found a way to win, and almost always in three sets.â&#x20AC;? On Tuesday, Oct. 13 the Pirates hosted the Siren Dragons, winning the match in three hard fought sets, 25-23, 25-19, and 25-20. In the first set, it was the Dragons finding themselves down late, 24-19 before rallying back behind some strong serving to make this a close 24-23 game before the Pirates scored the winning point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Siren played great volleyball. They are senior-dominant, very talented, very athletic. They served extremely well and caused seven receiving errors. A couple of those were disputable, but it remains a fact,â&#x20AC;? Allaman-Johnson said of the Dragons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sirenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach has done an outstanding job with her program, developing great players through her years of hard work coaching many of them since they were young. Her daughter Lizzy Stanford is always a force to be reckoned with, both in the front and back row. And I really noticed the outstanding hitting of Ashlee Rightman.â&#x20AC;?

GOOB COY | SENTINEL

There were three nice runs in the second set. One for Siren as they started a rally, down 13-10. Once they got rolling, they took a lead in the game 13-15. But Grantsburg went on two late runs giving them a 25-19 win. The third set was a dog fight all the way, with the Siren defense really stepping up in this one refusing to let the ball drop on their side of the net without a fight. It was Lizzie Stanford leading the Dragons in serving aces with three for the night. Ashlee Rightman had seven kills to lead the team. Stanford recorded six kills with Emily Stiemann next on the list with five. Aubri Larson set her way into the books with 15 assists. For the Pirates it was Olivia Tucker leading the way in kills with 12, followed by Rhiana Pochman with 10, Cassidy Lee had six. Both the Pirates and the Dragons have a first round bye and will begin their playoff quest on Thursday night on their home courts.

22 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Cattleya is a Momma cat that was abandoned and found zipped up in a suitcase with her oneweek-old kittens. It was in the summer and the suitcase wasn’t discovered for several hours. Luckily, the feline family all survived the ordeal. There were four male kittens in the litter, and the Momma and babies went into foster care Cattleya with one of our wonderful volunteers. Cattleya is approximately one and one-half-years-old and is very sweet and gentle. One of our staff has become very close to this girl and asked me to feature her. The only special request is that Cattleya may be selective in whether she wants a home with other animals or not. (It’s hard to Sam tell because it could be she is just being protective with her young ones). Cattleya is black and white and could be called a tuxedo cat, but she’s a girl so would prefer being called an ebony and ivory beauty … or “your royal highness.” Seriously, she’s a great kitty who survived a pretty traumatic ordeal. Sam is a four-month-old kitten who is just a little lover. She is a tabby with medium-length hair and the cutest face ever. Sam is so eager to greet anyone who comes to her condo. She shares her place with her calico sister Selene. The two would be perfect together, if you were looking at adopting more than one cat. And, did I mention that the adoption fee is $50 each or 2 for $75. That would be right up Sam and Selene’s alley! Last I heard, we still had 16 cats available for adoption. If the ones I mentioned in this article don’t meet your fancy feast, I bet we have another one that will. Stop by and meet our large array of cats. You might find that we have a few dogs too! If you are interested in adopting Cattleya, Sam, Selene, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at 715-866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

Tribal night hunting in Wisconsin Wisconsin's Lake Superior Chippewa Indians may now conduct night hunting for deer on lands open to public hunting within the Ceded Territory from Nov. 1, 2015 to Jan. 4, 2016 — however, the season will be closed during Wisconsin's nineday gun deer hunt (November 21-29). The department will work at all levels to protect public safety and continue sound management of this shared resource. DNR law enforcement officers will work cooperatively with Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission wardens to ensure compliance with night hunting regulations, land managers will work closely with property owners in the Ceded Territory and wildlife staff will work with tribal experts to monitor deer harvest. Private landowners enrolled in the Managed Forest Law (open) and Forest Crop Law programs who have questions can contact their local DNR forester.

OCTOBER 21, 2015

Anglers eye more opportunities for fall MADISON -- From a pair of record breaking shortnose gar to one giant sturgeon, anglers made the most of their time on Wisconsin waters this summer. As thoughts turn to a fall filled with big brown trout and monster muskies, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is highlighting several notable successes by anglers during the summer of 2015: Back-to-back record shortnose gar Records are made to be broken and this year, the Wisconsin record for shortnose gar fell - twice.––– On August 3, Colin Esser of Cassville was fishing Pool 11 of the Mississippi River, a widening of the river upstream from a lock and dam in Dubuque, Iowa. The area is home to both longnose gar and shortnose gar. Using a hook and line with live bait, Esser reeled in a 28.25 inch fish weighing 3 pounds, 2.6 ounces. Esser’s fish set a record but it would be short-lived. On August 22, Scott Mathewson bested the effort with a 31.75 inch fish weighing 4 pounds, 5.4 ounces. Mathewson credits his son Devin for the catch in the Fox River in Kaukauna. Devin’s previous scouting trips helped him hone in on a spot that is home to both shortnose and longnose gar. To hear the older Mathewson tell the tale: “I stopped the truck along the river; Devin got out and walked up and down the river’s edge looking for signs of gar. He pointed out in front of him and I parked the truck. I was pretty excited; I never caught a gar before and was looking forward to reeling one in.... “Devin got the rod I was going to use ready. He showed me the correct way to attach the minnow and he cast the first time for me to show me where and how to let the bobber drift. Right off the bat, my bobber starts to bob. Devin quickly started explaining to me how to let the fish take the bait for 15 to 20 seconds before setting the hook. I let time pass, set the hook and Bam! I just caught my first gar. That was fun -I couldn’t wait to get the minnow in the water again. “It wasn’t three minutes and Devin set the hook and pulled his first gar of the day in. We both had bites after that and missed fish, but it didn’t matter, we were having fun.... I was on my seventh or eighth minnow when my drifting bobber stopped and started moving upstream. I knew I had one on. I opened the bail, let line pull off, watched and counted as the bobber stayed under the water. Then I closed my bail grabbed the rod tightly and set the hook. “My rod bent, the line peeled off as I leaned back and reeled like cra-

Thirteen-year-old David Jacobson of Garrison, Minn., caught this 86 inch sturgeon on Yellow Lake in Burnett County in September. What most people haven’t seen is the successful release of the ﬁsh, shown here.

zy. Devin was really excited, saying, ‘The state record, you caught the state record!’ I didn’t even have it to shore yet but because he has caught so many he could just tell by the way it was fighting. He grabbed the net and scooped it in. Oh man! He was right, it was big and heavy. We high-fived each other three or four times as we stood there in total excitement and disbelief.” The Mathewsons contacted a local DNR fish biologist about the process for recording a new state record fish. The process includes getting it weighed with a certified scale and witnessed, so they took the fish to a Festival Foods store where it tipped the scale at just over 4 pounds. Scott Mathewson said he has a spot on the wall of his office where he plans to put the mounted fish, but he said it wasn’t the idea of chasing a record that took him to the river that morning. “I am very grateful to my son Devin for not giving up on trying to get me out fishing this year,” Mathewson said. “Record fish or no record fish, we really had a great morning together. It’s something I will remember forever!”

Big sturgeon swims free By now many avid anglers will

have heard the story of 13-yearold David Jacobson of Garrison, Minn., who caught an 86-inch sturgeon on Yellow Lake in Burnett County on Sept. 12. What some may have missed in the coverage is that the family succeeded in releasing the fish. When the family landed the fish after a half hour battle, they knew it was big but had no idea the state record was 79 inches. Due to the size of the fish and the scale, there was not a good way to get an accurate weight. “After we landed it, another boat offered to weigh it, but...the weighing apparatus was insufficient for the length of this fish,” said David’s father, Erik Jacobson. “After talking to some locals that had witnessed our catch, one said he thought it was nearly 200 pounds! After thinking about it, it did take three men to get the fish high enough to get the tail rope on the scale. After the attempt, the fish swam away strong upon release, so we felt really good about that.” The Wisconsin state record hook and line lake sturgeon -- caught in Yellow Lake in 1979 -- was 79 inches long and weighed 170 pounds, 10 ounces. The record sturgeon taken by spearing measured 84.25 inches and weighed just over 212 pounds.

2015 Deer hunting rule highlights When purchasing a license or bonus antlerless tag, hunters must specify the zone, county and land type for each antlerless tag. All deer registration will be completed electronically, but some in-person registration stations will be available to assist hunters. The December 4-day antlerless-only hunt will be offered state-

wide. The antlerless-only Holiday Hunt will not be offered. Antlerless quotas and bonus antlerless permit levels are now based on County Deer Advisory Council recommendations. One Farmland Zone antlerless tag is included with each deer hunting license.

Junior antlerless deer tags are valid statewide. Bonus Buck is no longer available. All deer must be registered by 5 p.m. the day after harvest in the unit of kill or an adjacent unit.

HIGHWAY/FORESTRY FACILITY DISCUSSION Administrator Ehalt, along with John Wallenkamp of Kueny Architect, presented a PowerPoint presentation on the history and current process of developing design(s) that would meet the needs of a highway/forestry facility. Current highway facility photos were shown which depicts the poor condition of the facility. The total existing facilities total 34,681 square feet. The analysis and designs presented would consolidate the current facilities to build a facility that would house both the highway and forestry operations. Option one totals 62,000 square feet and does not require a separate outdoor storage facility; all is included in one facility at a cost of approximately $5 million. Option two totals 58,000 square feet but does require an additional outdoor cold storage facility; $4.9 million estimated cost. The board discussed many aspects of proceeding with the project and paying for a new facility. Based on what he heard from the supervisors, Mr. Ehalt would prefer to bring the project back to the Infrastructure Committee and allow them to continue forward to work with himself, Administration and the sub-committee team to develop the next steps of how we bring forward a plan to Administration, how we bring forward a plan to bring this information to our general public and how we start to layout a timeframe in which we would move towards a new facility. Motion to proceed down the line to take a look at it as Nate identified was made by Supervisor Lindeman, seconded by Supervisor Dresel. Motion carried, voice vote. COUNTY BOARD PER DIEM DISCUSSION Administrator Ehalt distributed two spreadsheets for discussion purposes on per diem payments to county board supervisors. The first report listed county board salaries, per diem rates, daily caps for compensation and other compensation paid to supervisors by counties throughout the state. The second provided an analysis of the cost of per diem paid in 2014 to Burnett County Board Supervisors and costs of various per diem rate options. A new compensation listed, in addition to per diem, is to pay each standing committee chairman an annual salary of $1,000.00 to compensate them for their additional duties. The board discussed the information presented and will continue discussion at a later time. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn the July 23, 2015, meeting was made by Supervisor Gronski, seconded by Supervisor Richard. Motion carried, voice vote. Meeting adjourned at 2:37 p.m. State of Wisconsin County of Burnett I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Proceedings of the Burnett County Board of Supervisors Committee of the Whole Meeting held on the 23rd day of July, 2015, as recorded by Wanda Hinrichs, County Clerk and kept by me as County Clerk.

WORSHIP

OCTOBER 21, 2015

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

Transforming individuals Christians can go wrong in two ways. First, we can focus only on our relationship with God. Or, we can focus on our relationships with other people. David Wells writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the good news of Jesus Christ, God is both transforming individuals and forming a community.â&#x20AC;? The essential human problem is estrangement from God. Being reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ is the start of the Christian life. But God also wants to form people transformed by the gospel into

communities. Reconciliation with God must lead to reconciliation with one another. The gospel not only rescues people from hell but also transforms us and brings reconciliation with other people as well as with God. Individuals are transformed through a new relationship with God. But this new relationship with God draws us into new relationships with other people. We must keep things in balance. Christians are to enjoy a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus as their

Savior. But we are also to belong to a faith community, a local church. So look at your life. Do you have a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus? And, are you involved with other like-minded people in a faith community of the local church?

‘Listen to the professionals’ BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

Survivor: Kathy Meldahl, Webster Cancer free: Since 2012

WEBSTER—If she has one piece of advice to offer other women, it is to listen to your health care professionals. “Follow your doctor’s orders,” Kathy Meldahl opined. “If you have entrusted your health with them, don’t second-guess what they are telling you.” It’s more than just one doctor. “It’s the surgical team, the oncology team, the radiation team, and the chemotherapy team,” she said. “Everyone was so professional and just made it work so well.” She also said it is beneficial to have someone with you — not just for moral support. Four ears are better than two. Meldahl, who has no history of breast cancer in her family, found a lump Kathy Meldahl during a self-exam in June 2011. “I made a mammogram appointment with my regular doctor and when the young woman came in after the test she “‘Oh, you’ll die,’ he assured me ‘but said ‘We need to talk,’” Meldahl related. it’ll be of something else,’” Meldahl re“I knew it was some thing — I could feel called. it.” In June of 2012 she had a green light. The doctors ran a few other tests and “They prescribed I take one pill for a lumpectomy was the decided course of five years,” she noted. “That’s because action. estrogen is a factor in cancer growth.” “They had taken one sentinel node Of course, that pill is a little tough on and after several exams they did find the bones so Meldahl is achy at time but some cancer so it had spread,” she point- it beats the alternative. ed out. “I see my oncologist every six months Seven weeks after the surgery, when and I was having mammograms every she was healthier again, the doctors rec- six months after the surgery but that’s ommended chemotherapy. been relaxed to one a year,” she statAfter four sessions of chemo, she was ed. “They assume it’s gone but they are deemed “in remission.” But as it is nowadays when the surgeons do a lumpectomy it is followed by a course of radiation. “Thirty-five days in a row starting in mid-February I went to Rice Lake for my radiation —an hour’s drive each way for a seven-minute procedure,” Meldahl lamented. But looking back, she can find humor in the situation. Receive a pink rose as our gift to you for having “I quit shopping after the first couple days,” she said your mammogram at Burnett Medical Center.

keeping an eye on me.” Not that she’s nonchalant about the whole thing but hers did seem like a pretty cut-and-dried scenario. “The first year anniversary rolls round and a good friend of mine said ‘You do realize it’s been a year?’” Meldahl reported. “I hadn’t even remembered.” She had lots of family and friends checking in on her following the ordeal. “I really didn’t need a lot because it went so smoothly but they were there when I needed someone,” she remarked. “But if people want to help you — let

them.” Her mammograms have been clear and she believes she is good to go. “The doctor did caution me that when I’m done taking the preventive pill at the end of five years is a time when the cancer could come back,” Meldahl explained. “But I think it was just a precaution they have to tell you about.” She says she has been very, very fortunate. “I haven’t had any negatives,” she concluded. “I’m thankful I was healthy enough to withstand the treatments.”

Can’t seem to ﬁnd the time for that mammogram? Because early detection is the best protection against breast cancer,

timing is everything Don’t delay, schedule your mammogram today. 715-463-7292. Evening appointments available. Please call for more information.
