Holmquist Highway in the works BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—It may take awhile to come to fruition but there is an effort underway to make Highway 87 a memorial highway in honor of Carson Holmquist, the Grantsburg Marine who lost his life in a suspected terrorist shooting in Chattanooga in July. “Carson was born in St. Croix Falls and raised in Grantsburg and we feel it’s only fitting to make the highway connecting both cities a memorial highway in his honor,” Katie Clifford explained. Clifford is just one of many local residents trying to get this ball rolling. “Louie DeMarre created the petition and got this project started,” she

continued. “There are a lot of us area and former Grantsburg residents trying to show our respect.” DeMarre is a fellow serviceman as well as a fellow Grantsburg High School graduate. Clifford said they have been in touch with both Senator Sheila Harsdorf and Rep. Adam Jarchow. “The legislators are in favor of this — it is just a matter of getting the bill created, signed and Holmquist passed,” Clifford pointed out. In fact, DeMarre got an email confirming that very issue.

“We are working closely with Senator Harsdorf’s office on this,” Rep. Jarchow, (R) Balsam Lake, told DeMarre in the email. He said it is not a quick process but the legislators are working on it. “The bill is in drafting right now — then it has to be heard in both Assembly and Senate committees,” Jarchow explained. “The bill would then need to be approved by both the Assembly and the Senate before moving on to the Governor.” According to Clifford, the road would still be Hwy. 87 but there would be an accompanying sign or two stating the road is the memorial highway for Sgt. Carson Holmquist, similar to the Shawn Silvera Memorial section of Interstate 35 south of Forest Lake, Minn.

GRANTSBURG—Cranberry sauce? Check. Corn-on-the-cob? Check. Sixteen-pound Thanksgiving turkey? That one is pending. It seems that some shoppers living in certain parts of Wisconsin are noticing a decrease in holiday birds in supermarkets — and this is not the fault of some large predators gobbling up the birds, either. The reason for this is a reflection of what happened earlier in the year. Agents for the University of Wisconsin-Madison have more insight on this statewide issue. “Domestic turkeys were hit by the bird flu — big time in spring and early summer,” explained Otto Wiegand, an Agricultural Agent for Washburn, Sawyer, and Burnett Counties. “It is figured that [the virus] came out of Canada.” Kevin Shoessow, an Agricultural Development Agent for the University, assisted Wiegand in explaining the process that infected birds must undergo. When one domestic turkey comes into contact with the virus, it is a threat to all surrounding birds. Therefore, a barn containing 12,000 turkeys (which would commonly be processed later on) must be quarantined by the state with assistance from the USDA. If the barn is tested positive with the virus, all of the birds must be euthanized. This accounts for less turkeys being available in supermarkets, but the exact percentage of loss for this year’s population is still to be determined. Local farms are no exception to the bird flu. A farmer at Beaver Creek Ranch stated that some certified organic turkeys are so scarce, a person who sold birds locally would have to pay over $2 a pound just to

Short-handed and busy BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office continues to be busy — that was the word Sheriff Ron Wilhelm shared with the county’s public safety committee last week. “We had about a gazillion cases in September — we were really busy,” he noted. Functioning with three officers short of a full complement, soon-to-be four, the sheriff said the department is just trying to get by until the hiring process is complete. “Right now, we are just filling shifts,” Wilhelm explained. “We can’t move forward until we are fully staffed.” One road deputy is on medical leave and another will join him later this month or early next month, while one has been “open” since the previous administration and one deputy just submitted his resignation. “We’re covered,” Wilhelm assured residents. “We are filling shifts with our recreation officer and our sergeants — our investigators can fill in as necessary.” He did say the latest state test for law enforcement officers was about a month ago and interviews have been set up for later this month and into December. “There’s a procedure to follow when it comes to hiring staff,” he pointed out. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t move as fast as we’d like — I’d like to hire four new guys

today, but I can’t.” He said it would most likely be 2016 before the sheriff’s office is back to a full staff. Deputies Chris Culvey and Travis Thiex are back in the mix as road deputies. “Chris is an expert in civil paper service and courtroom security so we are using him in those areas and Travis still does transport,” Wilhelm pointed out. “But both fill in road shifts as needed.”

With electrical power being installed at the Sirentel tower site in the Town of Jackson, eight of nine tower sites are complete or on track to be complete. “We have looked at a lot of options to bring that ninth tower on line so we can ‘reach’ the Dairyland tower in Barronett,” Rhonda Reynolds, emergency management director, told committee members. With the Verizon tower near Bashaw Lake off the table, the county is once again looking at the water tower in Hertel as a potential ninth site. “I’ve completed a draft Memo-of-Understanding (MOU) to use the water tower in Hertel as a site where we can co-locate out emergency equipment,” Reynolds reported. “Our administrator and county board chair met with the St. Croix Tribal Council last week to look at the MOU.” Her belief is the timing may be perfect for such an agreement because the tribe is considering making upgrades to its water tower. In other business: • Jared Woody, jail administrator, updated the committee on plans to bring the jail kitchen up to commercial kitchen status. “We are looking at making our jail meals in-house with a regular cooking staff,” Woody explained. “We’d do this

instead of the inmates preparing meals or having meals brought in — the two ways meals are being done now.” The move is in response to the jail kitchen being nicked for several years on its annual inspection. He said the jail now has the proper equipment and the lines have been replumbed to bring the kitchen to commercial kitchen code. “The Department of Health has inspected what we are doing and has approved plus we are awaiting pending approval from the state,” Woody assured members. “And, it will fit the remodel, of the dispatch center.” • Shelly Hatch, Child Support Department administrator, told committee members she’d like to try offering a “Never Been Married” class like they do in Fond Du Lac County. “I was at my conference in Sheboygan County and learned about this court-ordered class they are doing in the Fond du Lac area,” she explained. “There are so many people who have no idea how the legal system works when it comes to child support that a class like this might do some good.” To that end, she said she has been talking with the court and with UW-Extension regarding the formation of some sort of class and will keep the committee up-to-date on any progress.

GHS fall play ‘Harvey’ staged GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg High School Theater is presenting the comedy

Harvey on Friday, November 13 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, November 15 at 4 p.m. The Saturday evening show has been cancelled because of the Grantsburg High School football play-off game. Harvey is a 1944 Pulitzer Prize winning comedy. You may be familiar with the movie. Elwood P. Dowd (Evertt Wincek) has a best friend who is an invisible six-foot tall white rabbit named Harvey. This is embarrassing to Elwood’s family, so his sister Veta ( Audrey Lauer) decides to have him committed to Chumley’s Rest, an institution for mentally unstable people. However, when Veta takes Elwood out to have him committed, the Doctors (Josh Curtin and Colt Lien) think that she is the crazy one, and lock her up instead. There are lessons to be learned and confusion to untangle until everyone can live together happily. Tickets are available at the door. It is general admission seating.

Serendipity

The idea of driving home a rental car was about the furthest thing from my mind last Friday. Let me back up a bit. There was a recall on the airbag in my Honda Civic but being the plan-ahead kind of guy that I am, my thinking was ‘Why not do several repairs items while the car is in for the airbag check?’ Truth be told, I’ve been less than vigilant about required maintenance on my car. So, I developed a list of issues and potential problems, had been in contact with my service advisor at the dealership where we buy our cars and it ended up that Friday was going to be the day the experts were going to give Harvey a thorough look-see and decide what needed to be addressed. The wife and I head out for St. Paul after work and everything was going fine until we get to Vadnais Heights. The freeway, 35E, is under some sort of construction. The shoulder had been made into a temporary lane, the left lane was closed and traffic was directed to the right lane and the shoulder. All of a sudden the car developed a new noise — at first I wrote it off to being relegated to driving on the shoulder, but it Seems didn’t go away when we moved to Me back onto the regular lane. I pulled off the road — risky Todd Beckmann during rush hour, and sure enough, the front passenger tire was flat. Do I risk life and limb and fix the flat there on the side of the freeway, do I call our dealer for a tow or do I just limp the final three miles? Figuring if I went slow enough, my best option was to limp to the dealership. It was quite the surreal moment. There I was — driving on the shoulder at 20 MPH, a steady whump, whump, whump emanating from the front left tire, the steering wheel kept pulling me to the left, I was smelling burning rubber and occasionally a whiff of blue smoke would catch my eye. Meanwhile, hundreds of cars speeding past me — 9-to-5ers anxious to get home and begin their weekends. Finally, I turn into the dealership, they roll up their huge service bay door and I drive inside. I wasn’t even halfway into the shop and every head in the place — maybe 20 people, turned to gawk at the car and the nose-hair curling stench it is making. I get out and look at the tire — boy, the damage you can do to a flat tire by driving on it is amazing. The sidewall had several holes I could put my fist through plus there were tiny pieces of my tire on the tile floor all the way into the shop— needless to say, I had to add a pair of tires to my list of issues. The dealer didn’t carry the brand of tires I wanted and with the whole airbag thing, my service advisor gave me a rental for the weekend. On the drive home I couldn’t help think how lucky I was — not that I had a flat but that I was on my way to the dealer and that I was so close. This could have happened last week when I was up near Dairyland interviewing Steve Yezek about saddles — talk about being out in the middle of nowhere.

‘I do believe in spooks’ I hope you had a pleasant Halloween, and didn’t overindulge too much. Those ‘fun size’ bars may be small, but the calories add up in a hurry. My wife and I spent some time on Halloween with the granddaughters. Diane and From the Sephie, our seven Publisher’s year old granddaughter, made Desk some spiders out of mini chocolate Tom Stangl donuts (the body), pretzels (the legs) and M&Ms (the eyes) while I did my best to entertain 17 month old granddaughter Sera. We had some fun taking cans out of the pantry and arranging them in different ways. Ah, to be entertained by cans of green beans and cranberry sauce... Earlier in the day, I took some photos at a costume contest. There were some really great costumes and people had obviously put a great deal of thought and work into their entries. There were several characters from the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz.” Some great Tin Men, Cowardly Lions, Dorothys and of course, the Wicked Witch. In my childhood, before cable

TV, watching “The Wizard of Oz” was an annual tradition and treat. When we got a color television, it was even better — and more scary. The special effects and makeup have held up fairly well for a film that was made in 1939. Ask any Baby Boomer and I’ll bet nearly everyone watched the movie on TV more than once. The honest ones will tell you that there was something in the movie that frightened them to the point where they would avert their eyes. For me, the flying monkeys were creepy. Margaret Hamilton’s Wicked Witch of the West was scary, as well as her castle guards. But perhaps the most scary for me were the talking apple trees. Yes, I know it is a bit lame. But there was something about an inanimate object suddenly coming to life and grabbing Dorothy that startled me every time. The gruff voice of the tree was like a grumpy old man in any neighborhood yelling at the kids to “get off my yard.” Scary, not cool and tough like Clint Eastwood in “Gran Torino.” The Haunted Forest, complete with the signs “I’d turn back if I were you” and the Internet conspiracy theories that you can view someone who hanged himself in the background of the shots, make this scene creepy as well. The now cheesy flashing eyes in the background provide more fuel for

already overactive imaginations to become even more scared. And the flying monkeys swooping in from the dark to carry our heroes way? Every child’s nightmare to be in the dark and get kidnapped. It seems that every fairy tale hero or heroine must endure some hardships, adversity and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to eventually succeed. If you need proof of this, watch any Disney movie or read any mythology. “The Hero’s Journey,” as outlined by author Joseph Campbell, is the prototype followed by nearly every story, myth or religious ritual. It’s literally a 12-step program to take any character from humble beginnings to a hero. Next time, look it up before you watch “The Wizard of Oz” or any other story with a hero and you will see the pattern. Those of you who were frightened by these tales as a youngster, take heart, even the Cowardly Lion overcomes his fear and becomes a hero. 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 It’s not working …

Dear Editor: I love Wisconsin. We have had a strong tradition of caring about our environment, taking care of each other, and keeping our politicians honest. Many things have changed. Our State House has become a collection of people who are only interested in manipulating the system to make sure they keep their jobs. Job creation in our State has the “honor” of being second in the US in job losses. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the current unemployment rate is five percent and 271,000 jobs in October. Sadly Wisconsin is not part of that job creation.

With the recent announcement of the closing of the Oscar Mayer plant, 1,000 Wisconsinites are being told right before the holiday season that they are losing their jobs. We will now surpass 10,000 job losses for 2015. These facts do not support what Adam Jarchow was claiming in his recent letter to the editor. Sharon Blanding Danbury

Insane Dear Editor: This bill is a wake up call for landowners. It fails to define “Lawful” when describing hunters’ rights. It appears we land owners/taxpayers

can be fined and imprisoned for “confronting, photographing trainers or hunters” trespassing on our property or even keeping us awake all night. Would this include our trail cameras and video monitors on our home? Fined for exposing trespassers? This bill 338 is utterly insane! In the past, we’ve had bear dog training exercises conducted on our private and posted property. When I asked them to leave my property (sick and tired of being kept awake by the dogs and human noise), they politely told me to, “F*%k off.” We called the Sheriff and were told, “They have the right ... “ “The dogs can’t read No Trespass signs.” Another neighbor called the Burnett

County Sheriff on dog trainers keeping their family awake until dawn. According to them, the Sheriff threatened to arrest them ... the landowners.” Is this the freaking twilight zone? Now Harsdorf, Jarchow and others are inflicting fines and imprisonment for us? Totally insane! We agree with previous Letters to the Editor. Harsdorf and Jarchow will not get our votes next election. Also, bear hunters that we all know feel that “hunting” with dogs is barbaric and unethical. It is 2015. Hello! Wayne Jensen Grantsburg

WEBSTER SENIORS By Bernie Bolter

Protecting politicians, ignoring the public The people of Wisconsin deserved better than the bills that were rushed through during the State Senate’s “extraordinary” session late last evening. In the past week alone, Wisconsin workers have learned of job losses in Superior and Racine, Madison and Milwaukee. Thousands of families are facing the prospect of losing their paychecks during the upcoming holiday season. It would make sense if the Republican leaders of the Senate called an extraordinary session to help those workers facing layoffs. They didn’t. Instead, they passed a bill that makes it easier for politicians to raise money for their campaigns and harder for the public to track who is spending money to influence elections. And if that wasn’t bad enough, they eliminated an effective and independent watchdog agency, the Government Accountability Board and replaced it with two “commissions” stacked with partisan appointees. Instead of retired

judges making sure that elections and ethics laws are being followed, we’re looking at returning to the type of oversight that resulted in the Caucus Scandals of the early 2000’s. The people in our communities aren’t asking us to pass a politicians’ holiday wish list. They want us to focus on creating family supporting jobs, improving neighborhood schools and helping Janet them provide for their Bewley communities’ future. The dictionary tells District 25 us “extraordinary” Senator means “very unusual or remarkable.” Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything unusual about what the Republican majority did this evening. They placed their own priorities ahead of Wisconsin’s.

Birthday wishes to all who are celebrating their special day this month. I don’t have any names on my November calendar. Another great group for dime bingo. Kudos to Harry for calling.

Plans are currently being made for the 47th annual Christmas Store which will be open from 8-10 a.m. Saturday, December 12 at Central United Methodist Church, Grantsburg. The Christmas Store is sponsored by Central United Methodist Church, Faith and New Hope Lutheran Churches, and Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church.

obtain one. Sellers must determine which crops and livestock are essential and which are expendable to their business â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and with the prices being this high, it makes sense as to why turkeys did not make the cut for Beaver Creek Ranch this year. Consumers in Burnett County are noticing a small shortage of birds in supermarkets, but nothing too extreme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have very many, and I was skeptical,â&#x20AC;? commented Sharon Knowler, the coordinator for the Webb Lake Thanksgiving Supper. She went

hunting at supermarkets for the best turkeys, and soon became aware of the price inflation due to the shortage. With different prices being quoted at local markets, she settled for the lowest cost that fit her needs to feed an abundance of people at the feast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though it cost her some time. On the contrary, George Costello (one of the coordinators for the Fire Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hunters Supper in Danbury) found out about the shortage and decided to switch up this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual dinner. Even though the feast gets donated turkeys from a local supermarket each year, Costello wanted to leave the birds

for the customers this time. Ham will be the new holiday entrĂŠe at this dinner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least for this year. Furthermore, some managers of supermarkets across the county have noticed small changes in their stock as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I noticed it on the fresh-bird side, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t readily available,â&#x20AC;? said Rick Estridge, the general manager at Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foods Plus in Webster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is early yet, but what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen is the cost is quite a bit higher,â&#x20AC;? observed the manager at Sirenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Four Winds Market, Jack Sando. So, what does this mean for your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving feast? Hopefully this

article didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruffle your feathers too much, because the shortage is not as bad as it could be. And who knows â&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe the decrease in turkeys will inspire some families to get creative and serve up something new with their mashed potatoes and gravy. Regardless, there will most likely be plenty of drumsticks to go around, because the turkey supplierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Burnett and Washburn Counties have not had any sign of bird flu in their barns. Wiegand seemed to be optimistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is still a lot of production thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filling any voids â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so there shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be consumer-level impact.â&#x20AC;?

mented. Primarily, an outdoor furnace deemed a nuisance by the village is subject to removal at the village’s discretion. The revised ordinance can be viewed at the village hall. “This is a touchy issue and it has been for years,” Dave Alden, village president, observed. “I appreciate your committee handling it so well.”

In other business: • The board went on record guaranteeing the village will cover its percentage of the costs of building the new Siren fire hall being built by the Siren Fire Association, less any grants which are obtained for the project. The building is projected in the $1.2 million range and, to date, the association has secured a $500,000 grant. The costs are to be broken down amongst the four municipalities served by the hall — the Towns of Daniels, La Follette and Siren as well as the Village of Siren. The village’s portion is estimated at 19 percent. • The board approved a $.50/hour pay increase for all village employees for 2016.

SIREN—Even though there was never a demand for overturning the existing ordinance, the Siren Village Board did take another look at its solid-fuel furnace ordinance and did make some modifications. “We went through the solid-fuel ordinances of several other villages,” Dave Doty, trustee on the village’s public safety committee pointed out during Thursday’s monthly meeting. “I thought we were quite thorough.” The aesthetics of any stove/furnace was the biggest concern of the committee. “Instead of the furnace being housed in a building, we deemed a three-sided fence between six and seven feet in height should be sufficient,” Doty reported. The height of the stack was the other chief concern. “Stack height must be 15 feet above the ground, at a minimum,” he continued. “Or three feet above the highest eave line of any building within 100 feet.” There are several specifications a homeowner has to meet in order to continue to qualify for an outdoor furnace. “I think the ‘teeth’ of this ordinance are sufficient,” Doty com-

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

as how the 2016 budget, $980,133, is about $35,000, or almost four percent, less than the 2015 budget. But the biggest reason for the lack of public input is the fact taxes will be dropping slightly in the coming year. Because the assessed valuation inched up by just over half a million, the mill rate, taxes per $ 1,000 of assessed value, dropped from $6.20 to $6.15. Said another way, a taxpayer with a $100,00 property, will owe $615.06, in village taxes.

Debating the future of the Gburg Airport BY STEVE BRIGGS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

GRANTSBURG—Factions favoring and opposing the Grantsburg Municipal Airport had their say Monday at Grantsburg Village Board’s monthly meeting. Jerry Boyd, village resident and owner of a downtown commercial building, urged closing the airport and using the property to create a new industrial park. Boyd said he had gathered 75 signatures in 2002 on a petition to close the airport, stating then and now it is used for mainly recreational purposes and didn’t bring more business to the community. Speaking in favor of continuing the airport, pilot Tim Thompson of St. Croix Falls says recreational flying is a good thing. Flyers have invested in the airport’s hangars, and they spend money locally when they fly into the community, he said. He has started a local pilot’s association, and is actively recruiting more pilots and promoting the airport, he said. Thompson asked the village board to review the entire airport lease agreement. He wants the board to remove the “closure clause” that allows the board to close the airport and terminate hangar leases at any time. Removing that clause would attract more pilots to rent the hangars, he said. Board President Glenn Rolloff said two of the 11 hangars have been inspected so far, and found three planes housed. He said hangar inspections would continue. Board members said they wanted to hear more from both sides, and would refer the closure clause matter to their attorney.

In other actions, the board: • Agreed with a request by Leo Janke, maintenance man at Crexway Court, to add a “loading zone” sign near a building entrance. It will prevent cars from parking on Oak Street near the entrance ramp and blocking access for wheelchairs and handicapped individuals. They gently reprimanded Janke for painting an unauthorized loading zone area on the street, and for spelling “loading” incorrectly. Janke and Public Works Director Chris Bartlett will work out the details. • Directed Dennis McKenzie, owner of Denny’s Downtown Lanes, to remove two people he has allowed to live rent-free in an apartment behind the former Rainbow Cafe building. McKenzie recently refused to allow a fire inspector into the property. The village board cited multiple fire and building code infractions from inspections dating as far back as 2001. • Set a special village board meeting for 6 p.m. Nov. 17 to discuss proposals for demolition of the steel building section and some wood sections of the Kozak building, north of the Grantsburg Post Office. Asbestos and chemicals have been removed. Estimated total cost of cleaning up this area is $140,000. The board has budgeted about $50,000 in this year and next toward this cleanup project. • Approved continuing its annual contract in 2016 with Dennis Quinn of North Lakes Mechanical Consulting Services as the Village’s UDC building inspector.

All in a day’s work? SIREN—The good news is that Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers is fine. The even better news is that an alleged criminal is behind bars awaiting charges of sexual assault. It all began a couple weeks ago when a sexual assault was reported at the Siren Trailer Park — it was actually two assaults in the same trailer. The assailant got away but police had a pretty good idea of who they were looking for. “Just last week I was on my way home for the day when dispatch called to say the guy we were looking for was inside Fourwinds Market,” Sybers told members of the Siren Village Board at its November meeting. He backtracked a little and stopped at the grocery where an employee told him the suspect, Brandon Kohls, was still in the store. “He’s not a very nice person and is known to carry weapons,” he continued. “He came out of the store while I was standing there and I told him to ‘Stop’ — but he ran so

Chris Sybers

I followed.” The suspect ran into the woods. Figuring he could outmaneuver the man, Sybers drove to the other side of the woods — a woods which was bisected by a stream of water. While he was driving, he called for backup. “I could hear him crashing through the woods — like a deer being chased,” Sybers reported. “All of a sudden the noise stopped.” So the chief tried to track him. “He had laid down in the grass to hide so I missed him

the first time through,” Sybers said. “But eventually, I found him.” But for the 6-foot, 6-inch, 275-pound police chief, all the running was a little too much. “I have a bit of asthma and I had forgotten my inhaler that day,” he remarked. “Luckily, there was a North Ambulance in town, they heard what was going on, came over and I was able to suck some oxygen.” The trustees had a good laugh envisioning the whole chase. “Yeah, you guys try chasing a guy 20-years younger and 100-pounds lighter around in the woods,” he pointed out. But the point of the story is that Kohls was apprehended. “In addition to the felony warrants he had when I first tried to arrest him, he now has an obstructing an officer charge, plus any charges from the assaults,” Sybers concluded. By Todd Beckmann, Sentinel.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Blaze pink passes Assembly on bipartisan vote MADISON—Legislation introduced by Wisconsin Sportsmen’s Caucus CoChairs Nick Milroy (D-South Range) and Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) to allow gun deer hunters to wear “blaze pink” was passed by the State Assembly on a voice vote. In the legislation, blaze pink is described as bright pink or fluorescent pink.

Prior to introduction of the legislation, Milroy turned to Professor Majid Sarmadi, a renowned color scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Human Ecology, for answers on if blaze pink would be safe to wear in the woods. “Professor Sarmadi conducted experiments revealing that to the human eye, blaze pink is just as visible as, or even more visible than, blaze orange,” Milroy ex-

plained. “Equally important, existing research concludes that blaze pink is actually more difficult for deer to see than blaze orange, meaning that blaze pink could give hunters an advantage in terms of camouflage.” The legislators learned a Minnesota legislator intends to introduce similar legislation in the spring and has asked Professor Sarmadi to provide his testimony in support of that bill.

Emily Riewestahl: One of Xavier’s fabulous freshman NEW ORLEANS—Diversity is not something you’ll readily find in Grantsburg, a small village of 1,341 people tucked away in the northwestern portion of Wisconsin. Encompassing just three square miles, it’s a stereotypical small, one stoplight town where even the nearest Walmart is a half-hour’s drive away. According to the 2010 census, the racial makeup is 94.6 percent white. The lack of diversity is one of the key reasons that Grantsburg High School graduate Emily Riewestahl is now at Xavier University. That, a high school choir trip, and a nice scholarship. At the time of that trip Emily had already been accepted into several Midwestern colleges. But during that choir visit to New Orleans she fell in love with the good food, the diverse cultures, and the hospitality of the people. That sent her scurrying through the internet for information on area colleges, and Xavier’s national reputation in health sciences quickly caught her attention. The fact that it was a historically Black college was no determent in her mind; in fact, it was perfect. “I want to embrace the diversity that New Orleans and Xavier offers — it’s almost like studying abroad,” said Emily, who is indeed more than 1,300 miles away from home. “It’s been quite an eye-opener for me; it’s the first time that I have been consciously aware of my race. But that’s a good thing — I

think it gives me an interesting perspective that could turn out to be a competitive advantage for me going forward.” In fact, her only reservation was finding a suitable roommate. “It occurred to me that one of the reasons primary reasons African American students choose predominantly black colleges is to get the cultural experience,” she recalled, “and I was concerned that having a white roommate would ruin the experience for someone else who had other expectations.” Much ado about nothing, it turns out, for prior to her arrival she made a Twitter connection with Kristina Hicks, who today is not only her roommate, but a best friend.

What sealed the deal was the offer of a full tuition scholarship. Other schools had put together financial packages for her, but none matched Xavier. A psychology/premed major, Emily comes to Xavier with some excellent academic credentials of her own, including a 3.9 high school grade point average and a 27 on the ACT that she put together while also excelling in theatre, volleyball, track, dance, and music. She supplemented her formal education by participating in Carleton College’s highly competitive Summer Science Institute and a rather intensive Nursing Assistant Training program. She also earned her service hours working at a homeless shelter, and participated in a mission trip, both of which contributed to her keen awareness of the critical need for mental health services in this country. “It doesn’t take long to realize that many of these homeless are not just suffering physically,” she said. Looking far down the road — as she is apt to do — she ultimately would like to be in a position to open a free or low cost mental health clinic. “My parents raised my three brothers and I to pursue our own interests, they didn’t force us down any pre-chosen paths,” said Emily. “That’s one of the reasons I am here at Xavier, and I am very happy I made this choice.”

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

Court prepares for river stabbing trial BALSAM LAKE— A twoweek trial for Levi Acre-Kendall, Cambridge, is set to start Dec. 7 at the Polk County Justice Center. Acre-Kendall stands accused of fatally stabbing a St. Croix Falls man, Pete Kelly, in a confrontation that began when the two were fishing in separate groups on the St. Croix River at Interstate Park last April. Acre-Kendall was 19 at the time and has since turned 20. Kelly was 34 at the time of his death. The defense plans to mount its case on a claim of self-defense. In a pre-trial motion hearing Mon., Nov. 9, the state seemed to be building a case to undermine that possibility highlighting the fact that Acre-Kendall and his friends fled the scene and investigating the possibility that they had been under the influence of marijuana. The trial’s jury will be drawn from Chippewa County, which sits north of Eau Claire. Before proceedings begin, twelve jurors and two back-ups will be selected from a pool of roughly 100, based on answers to a questionnaire designed to find im-

partial peers. The survey asks about prior knowledge of the case and opinions candidates have about legal standards and potential witnesses. The jury will be sequestered for the duration of the trial, and Judge Molly GayleWyrick has considered extending court hours beyond the typical workweek to Sat. Dec. 12. Witnesses include friends of Kelly’s and Acre-Kendall’s who were at the scene, a gas station clerk, officers from sheriff’s departments in Polk, Isanti and St. Croix counties, and from the St. Croix Falls Police Department. Analysts from the state crime lab, a regional medical examiner and the county coroner will give reports. The defense will also present character witnesses, who will speak to Acre-Kendall’s level of integrity. Acre-Kendall, who was released on bond May 7, has been back in custody since May 14, when he was arrested for posting tweets that could be seen by friends with whom he was to have no contact. By Suzanne Lindgren, Osceola Sun.

New rules for 2015 gun-deer season MADISON—With the launch of the GameReg system and electronic registration, hunters now have until 5 p.m. the day after harvest to register a deer. This rule applies for all deer hunting seasons. “Previously, hunters could register their deer by 5 p.m. the day after the close of the nine-day season, regardless of the date of harvest,” said Matt O’Brien, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources administrative warden. “The new registration deadline is a bit of a change for 2015, so hunters should make sure they are up to speed before the nine-day gun deer hunt.” To help make sure hunters are ready for another nine-day deer hunt, the department will host a chat Nov. 16 at noon. Questions related to harvest registration, safety, regulations or any other deer season topic are welcome. To participate or view the transcripts for previous chats, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keyword “chat.”

Potential jurors get questionnaires AMERY—The Polk County Clerk of District Court is mailing 280 questionnaires to residents of Polk County, in the first step to find prospective jurors in the upcoming trial of Darryl Christensen, scheduled to begin Dec. 7. The former corrections officer for the Polk County Sheriff’s Department has been charged with five felony counts of second-degree sexual assault of inmates, one count for each of five women who claim he initiated sexual contact, in-

cluding intercourse, multiple times while they were incarcerated at the jail. In addition to criminal charges, Christensen and Polk County face civil suits as well from two of the alleged victims. Christensen, a corrections officer for the Polk County Sheriff’s Department from 1995 to 2014, stands accused of sexually assaulting female inmates at Polk County Jail between 2011 and 2014. Polk County Sheriff Pete

Johnson has said the first claim came to his attention October 29, 2014; Christensen resigned the next day. After an initial administrative investigation, Johnson asked the Wisconsin Department of Justice to look into the case. Its investigation, which uncovered allegations of multiple incidences of sexual assault from five women, became the foundation of the felony charges filed in April. By Tom Stangl, Publisher.

Sexual and physical abuse case heads to court MILLTOWN—Virgil A. Hansen, 65, of Milltown has been charged with numerous felony charges relating to sexual and physical abuse of a minor male between August, 2013 and March, 2015. A criminal complaint, filed Nov. 5, charges Hansen with: repeated sexual assault of a child, trafficking of a child, sexual exploitation of a child, child enticement, soliciting a child for prostitution, mental harm to a child and physical abuse of a child. The charges, all felonies, involve the same minor male. The complaint details the victim being tied in different positions in different rooms and buildings on Hansen’s property. The victim alleges that Hansen would strike him, call him “slave,” take photos of him naked and bound. The victim told investigators he was 13 and a half and too embarrassed to tell his parents what had occurred after he was tied up and abused the first time.

The victim was employed by Hansen as a hired hand on the farm, helping to bale hay, milk cows, feed calves and drive the tractor. The victim thought the number of times Hansen tied him up and had sexual contact would be approximately 120. He estimated that Hansen had given him thousands of dollars over the last couple years. The victim told investigators he came forward after arguing with his parents. He said that he had been using drugs for depression, crying often at home. He said that he was so stressed that he blurted out something like, “they don’t understand what it feels like being tied up naked.” Investigators from the Polk County Sheriff’s Department interviewed the victim on April 27. They spoke with Hansen and executed a search warrant at his home on April 29. The victim surrendered for forensic testing two cell phones containing text mes-

sages between himself and Hansen. The messages describe making arrangements to get together for “torchure.” Hansen disputed the number of times the victim was bound and the allegations that sexual contact occurred. Two of the charges are Class C felonies, two are Class D felonies, one is a Class B and the other a Class F felony. If convicted on all counts, Hansen could face from 115 to 190 years in prison and up to $450,000 in fines. According to Polk County Sheriff Pete Johnson, Polk County District Attorney Dan Steffen chose to charge Hansen by criminal complaint, so no warrant was issued. Hansen will be booked in after his initial appearance and either released or held on bond, which is at the discretion of the court. Hansen makes his initial appearance in court on Nov. 23.

A ﬁnancial frenzy One unique aspect of the entire experience is how it all occurs within two hours. In reality, simply going to the car dealership to look at a new set of wheels would have taken this amount of time. “In the simulation you’re forced to make some choices all in one month for your car, furniture and food — when in real life, it doesn’t all have to be at once to make those choices,” explained Jay Gilhoi, the personal finance teacher at the high school and one of the main

BY MEG ROD SENTINEL INTERN

GRANTSBURG—It seems that every 17 to 18-year old dreams of the day they can start their own life and be independent. But here is the kicker — starting out can be the hardest part, and a lot of young adults don’t comprehend the financial pressures of the real world. “If fate didn’t happen, this would be a lot easier,” student Drew McNally commented, as she calculated the amount of money she had left to put into her savings account. This was most likely the thought process of the entire Grantsburg senior class as they took part in Mad City Money. And whether a student paid for an extensive amount of baby-formula or a borrowed tent got chewed by some critters at their expense, they found out quickly that having responsibility comes at a cost. Every year the Indianhead Credit Union holds an interactive seminar which allows students to have a fake life for two hours and spend money on both their wants and needs. Community volunteers were stationed at tables that represented “stores,” and between places like “Really Realty” and “Gotta Eat,” the class was forced to budget their monthly income in a way that could benefit all aspects of their life. “You know, I have found that most students today are a lot more money savvy than you would expect,” said Andrea Albarado, the Mad City Money facilitator. “ I do think though, sometimes they make the mistake of overspending because they don’t realize how much things really cost.”

“It was stressful but very eye-opening,” participant Kirsten Olsen said, referring to the entire experience of growing up in a single morning. The volunteers seemed to have similar responses. “To me this is a practical, real-life simulation. I don’t think schools place enough emphasis on financial literacy,” noted Dick Hartmann, a member of the Indianhead Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The seminar was a success and the adults were quite impressed with the

Even though every student was armed with a set monthly income, debit card and checkbook, they found that every financial action they took had a good or bad reaction as well. “One of the gals bought herself a great big truck with four wheel drive and everything, and bought her husband a bus token,” laughed volunteer May Olinger, as she reminisced on a past seminar.

advocates for this program. “Instead of being gradual, things are all happening at once and that’s kind of stressful for some of the kids.” This statement rang true, as more than 60 students hustled around the Crex Convention Center trying to pay for things with checks and debit cards. Many had never learned how to write out checks or balance a register, but they ended up figuring it out pretty quick. The Fickle Finger of Fate also seemed to cause problems for every student. They lurked around the room — in one of their hands were slips of fortunes, in the other hand were fates. Everyone got tapped on the shoulder to receive both free money and an unpredicted expense from the F.F.F. Although this part of the seminar was a good laugh for most people every adult seems to know this kind of “luck” all too well.

students’ participation. “Mad City is a very realistic simulation of the real world, the young adults we’ve worked with today are very much in touch with the things they need to do. This is a really good group of young adults,” commented Brenda DeWitt, a volunteer who helped students handle their finances and acquire loans. After Wednesday’s event, it’s obvious budgeting takes responsibility and self-control. “Even if a budget is entirely planned out, it is always best to expect the unexpected,” a Grantsburg senior said. “Because you never know when the Fickle Finger of Fate will strike — and whether it be good or bad, to be proactive with your money is the best way to anticipate its untimely touch.”

Pirates advance to ‘ﬁnal four’ with win over Unity BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

CUMBERLAND—And then there were four. The Grantsburg Pirates are one of only four teams left in Division 6 after defeating the Unity Eagles, 34-18 on Friday night to advance to Level 4 in WIAA playoffs. The Pirates will face defending state champions St. Mary’s Springs for a chance to play for a State Championship at Camp Randall stadium in Madison on Thurday, Nov. 19. The winner of Saturday’s match-up with take on the winner of the Melrose-Mindoro vs Darlington contest. Back in week three of the season, the Pirates defeated the Eagles 25-18 in a hard fought game, and Friday’s contest promised to be just as tough between the two Lakeland North rivals. The stands were packed and fans were not disappointed with the hype. “A great win for our program and community! To beat a team as good as Unity twice this season really says something about the kind of season it’s been,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “The Pirate fan support was absolutely awesome and I don’t remember ever coaching in a football game with crowd noise from both sides like that. We’ve had so much support all year long and our team really wanted to win this one for our school, families and fans.” The Pirates were fired up and grabbed the momentum early as they came up

with one big play after another. The Eagles turned the ball over on their first three possessions of the game, and the Pirates made sure to take advantage of these mistakes. They fumbled on their first drive which was recovered by the Pirates. Unfortunately Grantsburg was not able to move the ball and punted back to Unity. The Pirate defense stood strong and forced Unity to punt deep in their own end. Jake Wicklund plowed his way through the front line and blocked the punt. The ball flew high in the air allowing Leo Chenal to track it down, catch it, and walk his way into the endzone for the game’s first score. Avery Fagerberg added the extra point to put the Pirates on top, 7-0. On Unity’s next possession, they fumbled the ball again which was scooped up by John Chenal. On the Pirates’ next play, John Chenal zig zagged his way up the field to paydirt. Unity blocked the point after to make the score 13-0. The Eagles scored late in this quarter, but their point after kick sailed wide right. It was a 13-6 score heading into the second quarter and stayed that way to the half. “Our defense for the third straight game really won it for us by the way they stopped the run and were in great position most of the night on the deep ball,” Hale said. “We got the important early momentum with Jake Wicklund timing out the punt block to perfection and Leo Chenal catching it for six.”

There was a lot of hooting and hollering Friday after the Pirates defeated the Unity Eagles to advance in the playoffs. John Chenal (33) lets out a yell in celebration.

The Pirates got on the scoredboard twice in the third quarter. First was Fagerberg on a QB keeper from nine yards out. The PAT was good to make it a 20-6 game. The second score was ‘a play of the year’ kind of play that has kept fans talking ever since. On third and long, John Chenal ran a reverse to Dakota Schultz. Schultz ran the ball around a pile of players on the middle of the line, and let loose a cannon pass to Brett Anderson in the endzone, who made a highlight reel-type catch. Fagerberg again added the point after. Unity scored late in the quarter on a pass play. The two point attempt failed, and Grantsburg held onto the 27-12 edge at the end of the third. In the fourth quarter, the Pirates’ offense kept the ball moving and ate up the clock. With just over five minutes in the game, John Chenal broke a run open, and scored from 20 yards out. The PAT was good, giving Grantsburg a 3412 lead. With 2:23 on the clock, the Eagles scored. Their two point try was stuffed by the Pirate defense making it a 34-18 game. Unity did get the ball again, but an interception by Austin Olson ended their chances and sealed the win for the Pirates. “On the offensive side, we finally started to execute in the second half and sustained a big drive to open the third quarter which we have really struggled with lately,” the coach noted. “Dakota Schultz’s pass to Brett Anderson was probably the key offensive play in the game for us as it really gave us a boost and re-energized our sideline. John Chenal had a great night on both sides of the ball and broke off two huge TD runs with the second one really sealing it for us.” Defensive stat leaders were John Chenal with nine solo tackles and seven assists. Schultz was next with six solos and eight assists. Mason McEvers was

huge in the middle with five solos, five assists and an interception he almost returned for a score. Leo Chenal made the list with six solos and four assists followed by Austin Bowman with four solos and five assists. “We’ll be excited to get back at it and have a tremendous challenge ahead against the defending state champs, St. Mary’s Springs,” Hale said. The Pirates will play on Saturday at 3 p.m. at DC Everest which is located in Schofield. Game tickets are $5 and are for sale at the high school office. There will be a fan bus going. Departure will be at 10 a.m. in front of the HS main doors. Students pay $5 and adults $10. Sign up at the high school office. There will be pep assembly Friday orning at 8:18 a.m. for the football team in the high school gym. The community is invited to join.

GRANTSBURG—Talk about a good problem to have. The Christian Laettner basketball camp, scheduled months ago for this weekend, has been thrown off schedule by the Pirate football team advancing to Level 4 in the playoffs. As of press time, the Sentinel had not received any reports of the event being post-

poned but rather Pirate basketball coach Nick Hallberg plans to make the best of the situation. The sponsor dinner has been moved from Saturday evening to Friday evening. Yet to be decided is the time and date of the basketball camp originally scheduled for Saturday. Todd Beckmann, Sentinel Sports

Saving history

BY STEVE BRIGGS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—Finally! It’s been more than 10 years since any kind of preventative maintenance has been done to the Orange Community Center but Saturday and Sunday found Alicia Weiser and a few family and friends, on the roof of the building tearing off the old shingles and affixing new. “I’ve been president of the Orange Community Center for two years and I’ve always wanted to do something to help preserve the building,” she explained. “Finally, we have raised enough money to put on a new roof.” She said the roof is leaking badly — hence the urgency to get the building re-roofed. “We want to fix it now before it caves in because then we’d have nothing,” she noted. Tom and Becky O’Brien of Northwoods Lumber have been a good source for Weiser and her plans. “Tom gave us a great deal on the shingles,” she reported. Once the roof is repaired, Weiser has plans for the interior of the building plus a desire to get a new foundation under the whole place. “That’s why I hope people keep electing me — I’d like to do something each year,” she said wistfully. “My dream is to have it all done in three years.” Of course, it takes money to “do” anything. “I’ve been applying for grants but that’s difficult,” she admitted. Our once-a-year garage sale fundraiser raised about $1,000 this fall and about $1,000 last year.” They are also collecting cans to help raise funds. Why? The community center used to be the Orange School, a one-room school which was last used as such in the 1953-54 school year. “My dad and his siblings were part of that class,” Weiser pointed out. “Plus, when I was young, we’d go there for family reunions, class reunions — that kind of thing.” She said that’s a powerful motivator. “I have a lot of memories tied to that place,” Weiser commented. “I don’t want to see anything bad happen to it.” On top of her own personal memories, two of her own kids have now experienced life in a one-room school through Webster School District’s use of the Orange Community Center each spring for its second graders.

Grantsburg board sets 2016 budget GRANTSBURG—Approving its 2016 annual budget Monday, the Grantsburg Village Board granted a two percent wage increase to all full-time and permanent parttime village employees. The board denied a request from Public Works Director Chris Bartlett to re-distribute his raise among his department’s employees. The vote was 4-3, with Village President Glenn Rolloff and Trustees Larry Ebersold and Scott DeRocker favoring his request, and Trustees Diane Barton, Rod Kleiss, Greg Peer and Rayna Surd-

ey opposed. The board voted to allow Police Chief Jeff Schinzing to hire an Ordinance Code Enforcement Officer, to work not more than 300 hours next year at an hourly rate of $10.51. Kleiss opposed. The board passed a smaller annual budget for 2016 at $1,454,089. That is a 5.1 percent decrease from the 2015 annual budget of $1,532,479. The village’s portion of annual property taxes will be the same, or maybe see a small decrease from 2015 rate, even with an increase in the property tax levy. The village board closed TIF District No. 2, putting those prop-

erties back on the tax roll. The village also saw construction growth, which allowed a slight increase in property tax levy. The property tax levy for 2016 is $418,784, up from the 2015 rate of $415,106. The village mill rate is estimated at $7.3987 per $1,000 of assessed property value, down slightly from the 7.4057 rate in 2015. With the Grantsburg School District seeing an enrollment increase for the first time in several years, village residents may see property taxes remain steady or decrease in the coming year.

Bidding adieu Former highway commissioner Bob Morehouse (left) was recognized for his 19-plus years of service to the county at Tuesday’s County Board of Supervisor’s meeting. Chuck Awe, chairman of the committee Morehouse reported to, said a good commissioner is hard to replace while a bad commissioner is easy to replace. “Bob is going to be difficult to replace,” he praised. “I’ve had other highway commissioners come to me and tell me how much Bob is valued.”

Contentment

Pastor Tim Quinn First Baptist Church

Someone once said â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have never seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul.â&#x20AC;? How true. Would you be a person someone can say is â&#x20AC;&#x153;content with your lotâ&#x20AC;?? Does your mind often long for other things, another situation in life, or are you often found giving God thanksgiving for whatever situation you are in? It is true that it is more challenging to be content in some situations and I certainly do not want to minimize the pain that you may find yourself in. I am not suggesting that we glibly advise people to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get over itâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;think positive.â&#x20AC;? There is certainly a time for grieving and for tears. Even in the midst of grief, however, those

of us who know Christ can find joy. 1 Tim. 6:8 says â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we have food and clothing, let us be content.â&#x20AC;? Paul addresses the topic of contentment in Phil. 4:10-13 as well. Paul says â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned that, in whatever state I am in, to be content.â&#x20AC;? Did you notice that Paul himself had to â&#x20AC;&#x153;learnâ&#x20AC;? contentment? It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an attitude that comes naturally to us. Contentment is something we must learn as we walk by faith with the God who loves us. Second, notice that the contentment was sometimes in spite of, not because of, his circumstances. He had learned that whatever situation he found himself, whether staying in a palace or in a dungeon, he would be con-

tent. I remember the first Christmas after our adopted daughter Sarah came to be part of our family, it dawned on Deborah and I how content we were. We were in seminary at the time, so we were financially broke. I worked part-time at Sears, so we could only afford the bare necessities, but we had food on the table, we lived in a small, but adequate apartment, and our needs were being met. The Bible consistently teaches us that contentment is not about stuff, but about an attitude that says â&#x20AC;&#x153;God is enough. I have food and clothing and I am blessed.â&#x20AC;?
