Webster Police to relocate BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—You could say it’s like re-visiting the scene of a crime when the Webster Police Department temporarily relocates to the basement of the community center before the end of the year. “We’re simply out of room,” Mike Spafford, Webster’s Chief of Police, told village trustees at last week’s meeting. Even the quickest of tours will prove his point — what with evidence locked away in the garage, boxes in the bathroom and store room and a desk, three chairs and two filing cabinets shoehorned into one corner of the village office building. “This building was not built for all Spafford of us,” the chief said, indicating himself and village clerk/treasurer Patrice Bjorkland. “It was built for the public works department.” Ironically, the public works department occupies one of the smallest areas of the building. Spafford said a lot of the boxed evidence won’t be making the move. “A lot of those cases have been to court so we don’t need the evidence any longer so we can destroy it,” he noted. In addition to ample room in its former office space, the department has to be concerned about security. “When I interview people here, a lot of times we’ll go outside, into the back room or into the garage so we can have some privacy,” Spafford pointed out. “It’s kind of em-

Count blessings instead of sheep BY MEG ROD SENTINEL INTERN

Hundreds took part in the monthly Feed My Sheep food distribution ministry at Grace Baptist Church.

GRANTSBURG—As we approach the season of giving, we must acknowledge those who have done more than their fair share of it. The Grace Baptist Church in Grantsburg is a prime example of this notion — after all, they have hosted Feed My Sheep for the past 13 years. Only this year did they decide to cease the program altogether. In case you are not aware of what Feed My Sheep is, Pastor Brad Moore has more insight on the topic. “It is a ministry that helps people in need, and anybody interested in getting food at a reduced cost,” Moore explained. “It is also an opportunity to feed them spiritually.” On the first Saturday of every month, food trucks would arrive early in the morning at SEE SHEEP, PAGE 7

The cost of convenience

DANBURY—Hill’s Hardware Hank of Danbury has closed. They were having clearance sales in September and October where they put up signs saying everything was 25 percent off, then 35 percent off, and as the shelves became bare, 50 percent off of the marked prices on most items. According to the Hill family, the store was opened by Cecil Hill in 1976. A few years later it was taken over by his son, Marshall, who ran it until about 10 years ago. Marshall’s son, Matthew, ran it for the last decade. Summers had typically been the bread and butter time of the year, with cottage owners, vacationers, and tourists spending money on their projects, but the summers got leaner and leaner financially. The store was for sale for a couple of years, with one pending sale that fell through. Once that sale fell through, it was time for the difficult decision to close. Toward the end, the store was open only for limited hours on Friday and Saturday. By Robin Blomberg, Contributing Writer.

What about Juniper? BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—It was a case of ‘What have you done for me lately?’ when the Webster Village Board convened last week. Tom and Becky O’Brien, owners of Northwoods Lumber, were on the agenda as the board was set to discuss improvement plans for Juniper Road. “We want to know what your plans are for Juniper Road?” Tom O’Brien queried. The road, which runs east-west on the south side of O’Brien’s business, does not get a high volume of traffic. “No offense, but there isn’t a high traffic count so we are a little leery of putting a lot of money into it,” trustee Kelsey Gustafson, chairman of the village’s street committee, reported. But the couple wasn’t looking for the Taj Mahal of roads. “We’re not asking for a brand new road —but what about maintaining what’s there?” Becky O’Brien inquired. “We’ve been in that location 13 years and I don’t think anything has ever been done to it.” But Tom O’Brien was the first to ad-

mit the entire road is not a problem. “I think the last third is the worst,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to bring in some expensive machine to fix the whole thing when just the back third needs repair.” To alleviate that for the time being, Jay Heyer, public works director, added some gravel and smoothed out rough patches. “Maybe gravel is the answer,” Gustafson O’Brien opined. O’Brien said the gravill last l t for f the winter. ell fix will “We can look at it again in the spring,” Jeff Roberts, village president, remarked. But all parties were interested in solving the problem — not just putting a Band-Aid® on it as a temporary fix. “We’ll put the road on our five year plan so we can come up with a plan,” Gustafson said. “We’ll have to engineer it for the traffic load which uses that road,” trustee Tim Maloney added. “Whatever we do, we want to do it right.”

2016 budget The fact that no residents were present to voice any opinion on Webster’s 2016 budget during the village board’s public hearing last Wednesday is a direct reflection on the budget’s bottom line. Taxes will be going up by about $5 for a taxpayer with $100,000 in property — less than one half of a percent increase from the 2015 rate. The assessed mill rate for 2016 stands at $11.21, meaning a property owner with a $100,000 assessment will pay an estimated $1,121 in village taxes. Meanwhile, the owner of a property valued at $75,000, will owe $840.75 in estimated taxes. The property levy inched up a third of a percent from $387,939 to $389,139. The total expenditure budget is $586,223. The entire budget can be viewed at the village hall during normal business hours. In other business: • “There hasn’t been much movement on the police union contract,” trustee Sarah Casady told the rest of the board. “I’ve been told that when it comes to municipalities under 2,500 in population,

the Wisconsin Professional Police Association doesn’t want to send someone in person to negotiate — it puts Bridget (village officer Bridget Getts) in a weird place.” Mike Spafford, police chief, agreed. “I think a lot of the small towns are pulling out of the union for that very reason,” he pointed out. “These officers pay their dues like everyone else — she deserves representation.” • While the village has collected sample outdoor furnace ordinances from similar-sized villages, the board did not take any action Wednesday night. Rather, they directed Spafford to visit with the owner of the one outdoor stove residents have complained about to see if the owner would be willing to add a 6 or 8-foot chimney to his stove to help eliminate the smoke issue. The board will look at the ordinance again in December. • The village again contracted with Bruce’s Auto for Main Street snow removal for 2016 at a rate of $85/hour, the same rate they charged for 2015.

Appreciating our veterans

In my years at the Sentinel I’ve never witnessed a standing ovation at the conclusion of a veteran’s speech at any of the Veterans Day observances I’ve had the honor of attending. That all changed last Wednesday. You could have heard a pin drop as Co. Doug Stubbe, U.S. Army, retired, addressed the kids at Siren School. I wasn’t sure what the younger kids could grasp of his message, but he sure got their attention when he talked about rebels in Afghanistan playing soccer with some man’s head while forcing his daughter to watch. It was very interesting to hear of Stubbe’s exploits in his 20-some years in the service. All too often it seems as if the veterans who are chosen to speak don’t want to give the kids nightmares by relating some of their experiences — almost as if they are told to tone down the ‘War is Hell’ rhetoric. But if today’s kids are going to understand, and more importantly, appreciate their freedom and realize what servicemen Seems and servicewomen have done to Me and continue to do to provide Todd Beckmann that freedom, they need to hear the horror stories. The idea of freedom is so esoteric for any kid in school. And why shouldn’t it be? Freedom is all they’ve ever known. You should have seen the looks on the kids’ faces in Webster when Keith Scherf, Commander of American Legion Post 403 in Webb Lake and Vietnam War veteran, told them in some countries the government didn’t want its kids to go to school, or that only boys went to school. I’m sure the kids thought it was pretty cool, not having to go to school, but it’s one thing to choose not to go to school — it’s something altogether different to be told you can’t go to school. That’s why, in part, military organizations like the Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars have programs in the schools each Veterans Day and programs at local cemeteries each Memorial Day — to reinforce that valuable lesson of freedom.

STROLL THROUGH THE PAST By Eunice Kanne

Charles Saunders returned to Grantsburg where he was elected sheriff in 1907-1908. As sheriffs could not serve two consecutive terms, he acted as under-sheriff under Bill Smith. Two years later, he was elected again. He married Hannah Halverson, and they farmed for several years in the Yellow Lake and Black Brook areas. In 1923-1924, he was again sheriff. Hannah was elected sheriff for 1925-1926 and Charlie served as under-sheriff. They changed offices for 1927-1928 and again in 1929-1930. In the next period, he was able to hold the office for the years 1931-1934. He also served as under-sheriff under John McCarthy 1945-1947. Hannah died in May, 1949 at 75 years of age. Charlie died in October of the same year. — Journal, October 27, 1949

That spot feels right “Home is where they want you now You can more or less assume that you’ll be welcomed in the end.” — lyric, “Home by Another Way” by James Taylor My wife and I recently made a whirlwind trip back to Iowa. We left at 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning and were back home by 3 From the p.m. Sunday. A cousin of my Publisher’s wife died far too Desk young of cancer in Alaska, and his Tom Stangl family held a memorial service in the small town where my wife grew up and we lived for 13 years. After you become an adult, funerals and weddings are times when extended families gather. It was good to see the aunts and cousins, even better to see my brother-in-law’s family and grandchildren. I hesitated several times to ask people about their relatives, fearing that I would step into a “she’s been dead for 10 years” exchange and the ensuring embarrassment for all parties involved. “Time on the river sliding on by. Hard to believe, wink of an eye.”

— lyric, “Baby Buffalo” by James Taylor It never ceases to amaze me how the passage and our perception of time changes. Even though I had only been back to Iowa once since 2012, a flood of memories came back as we drove the six hours to Western Iowa. As the miles rolled on, I found myself recalling many events that required long road trips in the fall. I could recall the late fall days decades ago helping my father with the screens and storm windows as my parents aged. It seems like yesterday, but my parents have been dead over a decade. We recalled the times we travelled to Ames for All-State performances. Our daughter Madison made the elite chorus all four years of high school. Seems like last year, but it has been over a decade since we attended the first concert. We had a good visit with my brother-in-law, Jim Sieger his wife, Vickie and their grandchildren Connor and Cameron, who stayed overnight as well. We watched some college football, got caught up on life and just had a good visit. The Sieger’s came to our home in Amery last summer and we had a great time when they were here.

One of the things we did during our visit in Iowa was drive through Hornick, the community of 222 people where we lived just three doors down from my wife’s mother. The place hasn’t changed that much. The people living in my motherin-law’s home have fixed the place up and it looked like our old home was going to get some siding installed. We also drove up to the cemetery where my wife’s parents and Jim’s mother-in-law are buried. We recently made the decision to be buried next to my wife’s parents, and took a look at the burial plots that Jim and Vic had sold to us. We did this at dusk, which made the entire scene a bit surreal and somehow very fitting. It will be a good place to be when I am dead. One less decision for our daughters to make when the time comes. I hope it’s a long time off. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Proud of Bewley, Ashamed of Quinn

Standing united

Dear Editor: I was so proud of my Senator Janet Bewley, as well as several of her Democratic colleagues, who fought for clean elections and against the campaign corruption bills late into the night on Friday and finally ending about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, November 7. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing most people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know it was happening and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure the GOP leadership planned it that way. There was talk that some Republican senators were not in favor of what their party was doing. But, only one Republican senator voted against flooding our state campaigns with money, and even he supported the rest of the legislation. As for my Assembly Representative, Romaine Quinn, I have three words â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shame on you! I heard a radio interview with Quinn defending his position on supporting these campaign corruption bills. I wrote to him, begging that he not go along with this awful legislation. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the decency to even respond to my concerns, but rather, he sent me an email that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in his district. Obviously, he forgot about how his GOP party redrew district lines in a way that, no matter what he does, he keeps his job. Clearly, Rep. Quinn is plenty manipulative and dishonest, qualities I have no respect for. When it comes down to it, he lacks the maturity necessary to do the right thing and listen to the people in his district. Romaine Quinn and the GOP leadership have done a great disservice to the people of Wisconsin. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put him and his Republican colleagues in the unemployment line, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been more than happy to leave about 10,000 Wisconsinites this year. Carol Johnson Deer Park

Dear Editor: The Minneapolis VA regional hospital and clinic is loaded with medical resources with gifted and caring people. Its added strength comes from its affiliation with the University Medical School and students. When you have the media blasting the VA system, and the top candidates for President who want to do away with it, we need to stand united in support. I have had one major surgery and many minor ones with very good outcomes. We have access five times faster than VA Choice. I used VA Choice nine times and it never went smoothly. It is easier and faster to make an appointment and drive 100 miles to the Minneapolis VA unless this place cannot perform the service. I was invited to the Minneapolis VA with two other veterans for a listening session by two consultants from VA Corporate, who were gathering veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; input on how to improve our Minneapolis VA. All three of us treasure this place and all those who serve us. The Minneapolis VAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength is its people and quality of its services delivered. We found four areas that we would like to improve. 1. We want a tri-fold brochure of all the services they do, because we as veterans are not aware of what they are for this Center. This request was turned over to the Patient Advocate. No feedback to date. 2. Blood draw. They improved the results to one hour before you see your primary care and if they are running behind, we do not get to see or talk over our results with our doctor. Also, veterans who travel over 40 miles who like to arrive early, cannot go ahead of their scheduled time, which makes no sense. 3. Parking. It is always difficult to find a place. How about a remote place with 30 minute shuttle service. 4. VA Administration U.S.-wide needs to undergo inspections. Bonuses for Management? There are only two factors to be measured. Veteran Customer Service Survey by starting a customer data base for a year then sampling. This can become a University of Minnesota ongoing class exercise. All non-management Minneapolis VA employees and students need to have an opinion survey done every two years. Bonuses should only be given to non-management service delivery agents. Please give doctors a priority input as they are our true patient advocate. Rich Hess Trade Lake

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working, alright Dear Editor: After reading Rep. Jarchowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter to the editor (11-515), there are so many things needing to be pointed out. The way I understand Rep. Jarchowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background, he is an attorney who owns land along the Apple River. He supported taking away the local zoning authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to control shoreland zoning in favor of far less restrictive regulations. Seems to be a conflict of interested. Is this who we want representing the citizens of Wisconsin? In addition, why does he want to strip our public schools of funding? Our students, for the most part, are testing above the national average. Rep. Jarchow is working, alright. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working for the wealthy and forgetting about the normal citizens of Wisconsin who live in the real world and have to suffer the consequences of the legislation passed by Rep. Jarchow and his colleagues. Think about it ... Nancy Anderson Cushing

Harmful for hunting Dear Editor: People should be aware of an attempt by Rep. Jarchow and Sen. Harsdorf to pass legislation that would change Wisconsin hunting laws. The proposal would severely cripple private landownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to address hunting impropriety on and around their property. Under the guise of protecting an expanded definition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;legal hunting,â&#x20AC;? Assembly Bill 433 and its companion Senate Bill 338, would create new laws that would make it a crime to even approach a hunter to discuss a potential problem with their â&#x20AC;&#x153;legal hunting.â&#x20AC;? The proposed changes would create a system of penalties that could land someone in jail for nine months and a $10,000 fine. This heavyhanded, top-down private property rights takeaway is anti-community, not good for hunting and bad for Wisconsin. Act quickly if you want a say in the outcome of this proposal. I urge you to contact Rep. Jarchow and Sen. Harsdorf (Rep.Jarchow@legis.wisconsin.gov; Sen. harsdorf@legis.state.wi.us) and ask them to drop this bill. Their attacks on private property rights and their attempts to criminalize any efforts to directly address issues with hunters that may be willfully (or even mistakenly) trespassing on private land is shameful. John Bailey Grantsburg

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Right to huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; law wrong Dear Editor: Recently, when I came across a hunter in a state forest, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helloâ&#x20AC;? and asked how the hunting was going. Under a proposed bill, I could now be prosecuted for this. Rep. Adam Jarchow and Senator Sheila Harsdorf have co-sponsored a bill that would make talking to a hunter, looking at a hunter, and/or taking a picture of a hunter punishable by a $500 fine for the first offense and 90 days in jail and/or $1,000 fine for a second offense. All it takes is for a hunter to claim that you were â&#x20AC;&#x153;harassingâ&#x20AC;? them or â&#x20AC;&#x153;interferingâ&#x20AC;? with their hunt. From the bill: â&#x20AC;&#x153;conduct prohibited include maintaining a visual or physical proximity to the person, approaching or confronting the person, or photographing the person.â&#x20AC;? The full text of the proposal is found at https://docs.legis. wisconson.gov/2015/related/proposals/sb338. I have numerous friends, family and neighbors who are hunters. I myself used to hunt. I have never heard anyone say they were harassed or interfered with. From the language of the bill and the changes it would make to the current â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Right to Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; law, it seems that this bill was mainly written for (and by?) bear-bound hunters. According to Burnett County Sheriff Deputies that I spoke with this summer, bear hound hunters already enjoy many â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rights.â&#x20AC;? The deputies informed me that it is perfectly legal for bear dogs to be in my yard and running my land day and night. If I detain a dog on my property or try to save my domestic animal from bear hounds, I would be prosecuted. Bear hound hunters have the right to sit at the end of my driveway and blow their horn for 30+ minutes as long as they say it is a part of a hunt. Lastly, that it legal for bear hound hunters to competely block public roadways with their vehicles. I thought Republicans were supposed to stand for things like LESS government interference in our lives,

Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rationale? Dear Editor: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the only member of Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative who questions the rationale for raising residential membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basic electric charge from $34 to $36 a month. Their literature treats it as a fairness issue, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel that fair to me; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking a fixed charge thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already among the highest in the state and making it even higher. Apparently this is punishment for those of us who have tried to keep our electric bills as low as possible. Absorbing this $2 a month increase wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a huge strain on my budget, but I imagine that, for many families who are just scraping by, the last thing they need is a bigger electric bill. The rub, of course, is that no matter how much money and effort you put into insulating your home, installing weatherstripping, or converting to more efficient light bulbs and appliances, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still billed $36 a month just for the privilege of being on Polk-Burnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lines. A year ago the Wisconsin Public Service Commission held hearings in response to requests from a number of investor-owned utilities who had applied to raise their basic electric charges. (Cooperatives operate without PSC oversight.) From their testimony, it was clear that utility executives were concerned about the impact of rooftop solar, geothermal and wind energy on their business model. Raising everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basic electric charge was a way to create a climate in which those renewable energy sources would be less attractive to homeowners and therefore less a threat to their bottom line. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the intent of Polk-Burnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate restructuring plan is to stifle renewable energy and energy efficiency, but that will certainly be one of its effects. Between that and the financial hit on those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay more, I think you have a couple of good arguments to oppose the cooperativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan for a $36 monthly charge. I urge those of you who are members to make your opinions known before the new rates go into effect in January. Polk-Burnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toll-free number is 800-421-0283.

Concept of new shop inches forward BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—The Burnett County Board of Supervisors took another step in securing a new combination highway/forestry shop last week when they unanimously agreed to fund Phase 3 of the new facility. “The supervisors authorized $200,000 on the shop,” Nate Ehalt, county administrator, explained. “It covers the construction documents, the construction plans costs — it basically takes care of everything until we walk in the doors.” He said a couple of supervisors like Jeremy Gronski made sure the rest of the board were on board with proceeding with the idea of a new shop. “Jeremy didn’t want to see us spend $200,000 for a plan that would sit on a shelf — and he made sure everyone knew what they were voting on,” Ehalt continued. The money they authorized would go to Kueny Architects for their past and continuing work on the project. Ehalt said the county still needs to line up funding for the estimated $5 million shop and is still looking at sending the project out for bid in the spring of 2016. Details are still up in the air but the county is planning to host an open house

on Wednesday, December 9 so members of the public can see for themselves the current highway shop has reached the end of its useful life. “Our team from Kueny Architects will be on hand, the highway commissioner will be there, some of our supervisors will be there and I’ll be there plus we are going to have display boards pointing out the deficiencies with the building,” Ehalt pointed out. “We want to answer the public’s questions and concerns.”

Alternatives to Incarceration Jared Woody, Burnett County Jail Captain, outlined the five types of diversion, or alternates to incarceration, in use in Burnett County, and the savings the county realizes because of their use. “Our jail, one of the smaller jails in the state, only has 26 beds,” Woody explained. “So our out-of-county housing budget is huge.” To counteract that, the county employs the ‘Book and Release’ form of arrest. There were 1,118 adults booked in 2014 but those arrested for misdemeanor crimes were issued a court date and released the same day. “It’s the most lenient system allowed in the state,” Woody said. The jail also offers probation, drug and alcohol court, community service

The boys were found abandoned in a rest area and a kind citizen got them to the shelter. Both of the eightyear-old boys have treatable health problems, but chances for adoption at that age is slim to none. So the Great

Dane Sanctuary from the Dane Farm in Siren stepped up and offered to take the dogs. Through much scheduling, and with the help of great people, the dogs are being flown by Pilots N Paws and driven legs of the trip by Dane lovers. The expected arrival time is between noon and three on Saturday. Feel free to join us in meeting the plane and welcoming these wonderful boys.

barrassing.” If the department were to stay inside the village offices, two walls and a locking door would have to be added for the sake of privacy as well as security. “With our computers being tied to the state networks, they have to be under lock and key,” Spafford continued. Of course, the basement of the center is not ADA-compliant so village board members were concerned with that issue. After all, lack of compliance is part of the reason the PD moved to its current home — inside the village offices. But Spafford isn’t too worried. “In 30 years, one handicapped person has come to see me,” he explained. “I made arrangements to meet that person upstairs.” That was well and good for the one time but it is still an issue. “If someone pushes it (ADA non-com-

The department will hang its sign on the marquee on the front of the building but isn’t concerned about people finding the PD. “It’s a small town — people are going to know,” he said with a grin. Spafford realizes the move is temporary. “The village is looking at building a new facility,” he indicated. “The new building would house the clerk’s office and my office with a meeting room between us.” As of now, core samples have been taken to determine whether the proposed building site, north and east of the current village hall, is suitable for building. “I could see construction starting a year from now,”trustee Tim Maloney interjected.

Meanwhile, the upstairs was reserved for social gatherings and optional prayer. Rich Olson volunteered for Feed My Sheep, and his main job was supervising the food distribution and assisting with unloading the trucks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good time just working together with people young and old,â&#x20AC;? smiled Olson. He noted how anybody in the community could stop in and pick up food. Even people as far away as Stacy, Minnesota would particpate. Yet even with this gracious event taking place and dedicated people taking part in it, there were still gaps in the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was no longer sustainable, and there was poor food quality that we were not in control of,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. Donated food for Feed My Sheep came from Minneapolis, and in past years the church was being supplied goods by two to three sources. In recent years though, the church had been trying to make ends meet with one source. This was not the only hardship that was encountered with this program. People seemed to be losing interest, and this was peculiar when you take into account who decided not to take part. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the people will

the possibility for over a year,â&#x20AC;? Moore stated, in reference to the church community. Yet it is not in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nature to be susceptible to a mere bump-in-the-road. Although Moore is unsure if Feed My Sheep will come back in the future, the congregation has an open mind to any other program they can take part in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hopeful that something else will come about in the future.â&#x20AC;?

France mourns; seeks clues in deadly attack BY RAF CASERT AND THOMAS ADAMSON

PARIS (AP)—Seven people were detained Sunday in Belgium in connection with deadly attacks in Paris as the city entered three days of mourning for the 129 people killed in the worst violence in France in decades. Thousands of French troops were deployed and tourist sites stood shuttered in one of the most visited cities on Earth, while more details started to emerge about the investigation. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for Friday’s gun and bomb attacks on a stadium, a concert hall and Paris cafe’s that also wounded 350 people, 99 of them seriously. As many as three of the seven suicide bombers who died in the attacks were French citizens, as was at least one of the men arrested in neighboring Belgium suspected of links to the bloodshed. A French police official said that a suicide attacker identified by a skin sample was believed to be living in the Paris suburbs at the time of his death. A Bel-

gian official said two of the seven people wired with suicide vests were French men living in Brussels, and among those arrested was another French citizen living in the Belgian capital. The new information highlighted growing fears of homegrown terrorism in a country that has exported more jihadis than any other in Europe. All three gunmen in the January attacks on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a kosher supermarket were French. Authorities said three teams of attackers were involved and seven suicide bombers blew themselves up — three near the stadium, three at the concert hall and one not far from it. Authorities have not said if more attackers are at large. A French police official said Sunday that three Kalashnikov rifles were found inside a Seat car found in Montreuil, a suburb six kilometers (nearly four miles) east of the French capital. It was one of two vehicles known to have been used in the attacks.

Holiday Plumbing Tips The last thing you want when your house is full of guests is to need a plumber! Being proactive can reduce the likelihood of that scenario. 1) Don’t put grease down the sink drain. Instead, pour grease into a GLASS jar (not plastic) and throw it into the garbage after it cools. Wipe grease out of the bottom of pans with a paper towel before washing the pan. 2) Garbage disposers are made for non-greasy light food waste. Avoid putting bones down the disposer. 3) Make sure all of your toilets are in good working order with proper water depth in the tank and a strong flush. An improperly adjusted or weak flushing toilet may be working just fine for you, but that doesn’t mean it will work fine for Aunt Edna. 4) Don’t store small, loose objects on the back of the toilet or on nearby counters and shelves. Items accidentally falling into the toilet are a leading cause of backups. 5) If your toilet or faucet requires a special trick to operate, consider fixing it or replacing it before guests arrive.

Johnson has served on the Spooner Board for 11 years, including six as chair. Van Etten has been a board member for 12 years, including four as secretary. Both have assumed leadership roles in every major board initiative, Schafer said. “Dr. Van Etten and Sheldon have excelled in their leadership roles, and are very deserving of this recognition from the Wisconsin Hospital Association,” said Schafer. “Both are deeply committed to the hospital’s success and to the health of the community. We wouldn’t be where we are today, especially building a replacement hospital, without their extraordinary leadership.”

Prohibited Alcohol Content, and speeding in a 55 MPH zone. He was also issued an Intent to Suspend Operating Privileges. Formal charges are pending with the Fond du Lac District Attorney’s office. If found guilty this would be Steffen’s first OWI offense. A court date on the matter has been set for December 7 in Fond du Lac County. Steffen’s appearance is not mandatory. Coincidentally, December 7 also marks the beginning of a high-profile murder trial within Polk County — a case that Steffen is prosecuting. Steffen did not respond when asked if he planned to contest the citations, or if doing so would effect his obligations in any upcoming case in Polk County. According to Polk County Employee Relations Director Andrea Jerrick, Polk County does have policies regarding alcohol consumption and operating county vehicles. Jerrick could not comment further, except that those policies are in review as to how they would apply to the employees involved, including Steffen. Steffen is not a county employee, but rather an employee of the State of Wisconsin. According to Kevin Potter of the Attorney General’s office, district attorneys are a unique position. With the exception of rare gubernatorial intervention, Steffen reports only to the voters of Polk County. Steffen is currently serving in his second term as Polk County District Attorney. His position is on the ballot in 2016. By Jessica de la Cruz editor@theameryfreepress.com

Steffen was placed under arrest, handcuffed, and seated in the squad car. Another officer at the scene concluded that Williams was okay to drive, with a breath test registering .03 percent. Williams and Cash were released from the scene in the Polk County vehicle. While at the Fond du Lac County Jail, Steffen willingly consented to a chemical breath test, which (unlike the preliminary breath test) is admissible in court. According to the report, the 20-minute test took longer than anticipated and had to be restarted due to lack of cooperation from Steffen. Results of that test were .11 percent. Steffen consented to further interrogation, during which time he explained that he did not know what road he was on at the time of the arrest but that he was following his GPS from Balsam Lake to Elkhart Lake. He admitted to consuming “two to three drinks,” with the first consumed at approximately 5 p.m. When asked when he’d stopped drinking, Steffen’s story changed slightly. He answered approximately one-half hour prior to the traffic stop, but not while in the car. Steffen said they stopped for gas and during that time he drank a rum and Coke at a bar. The officer asked Steffen, “Looking back do you think you should have been driving?” Steffen said, “I feel like I’m fine.” Steffen was cited for Operating while intoxicated, Operating with

ELKHART LAKE—A work-related trip to Elkhart Lake took an unexpected turn for Polk County District Attorney Daniel Steffen on November 9, leaving more questions than answers on a local level. According to a report provided by the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s office, Daniel P. Steffen, 45, Osceola was pulled over for speeding at 8:17 p.m. Steffen was driving a minivan owned by Polk County. Two Polk County employees, David Williams, 47, Turtle Lake, and Belinda Cash, 39, Centuria, were passengers in the vehicle at the time. The report states that Steffen was traveling eastbound on Hwy 23 in Fond du Lac County when he took approximately 30 seconds to pull over for going 70mph in a 55mph zone. The officer opened the conversation saying that (Steffen) was going a little quick, to which Steffen replied, “Yeah, I know.” Steffen explained that he was on his way to a District Attorney’s Conference and was coming from Polk County. The officer noticed a strong odor of intoxicants coming from the vehicle. Steffen’s eyes were red and glossy and he had a mint in his mouth. When asked to step out of the car, Steffen admitted they had stopped for dinner in Mauston where he consumed two margaritas. According to the report, several standard field sobriety tests were performed that gave way to a variety of clues to intoxication during the test. Prior to consenting to a preliminary breath test, Steffen again admitted to consuming two

Comfort is common thread SPOONER— Spooner/Grantsburg Regional Hospice Services recently added a new comfort to the care they provide to their patients. Volunteer Coordinator Jill Schlapper recently recruited help from “The Trinity Quilting Ladies” from Trinity Lutheran Church in Spooner, to make lap quilts for Regional Hospice patients. The ladies were quick to respond, providing 13 quilts so far. Kathy DesJardins, who is also a nurse with the Hayward Regional Hospice team, is providing handpenned labels for each quilt. “This is just a small gesture of added comfort for our patients,” commented Schlapper. “Our patients will also be able to leave this quilt as a comfort to their loved ones at the end of their journey.” Any quilting group wanting to assist in this comforting service by making lap quilts, please contact Spooner/Grantsburg Regional Hospice office at 715-635-9077.

Deer camp goes digital BY JESSICA DE LA CRUZ THE AMERY FREE PRESS

POLK/BURNETT COUNTY— Deer camp. One of the last rugged, off-the-grid traditions of Wisconsin’s northwoods. There’s an app for that. Really. Since 1950s, in-person registration stations have been a cornerstone of the hunting experience. But 2015 marks the beginning of a new era. This year, registration for the nine-day gun deer and bear seasons will be 100 percent electronic. And with the new process comes a new deadline.

Hunters take note Unlike years past when hunters had until 5 p.m. the day following the end of the season, hunters must now register their deer by 5 p.m. the day after harvest. But the good news is it’s easier than ever. Hunters can take their harvest to an in-person station, as they have in the past, where they’ll be using the DNR’s GameReg.com instead of paper tags. Or, hunters can log on to GameReg.wi.gov themselves, via smartphone if they choose, without even leaving deer camp. That is, of course, as long as cell coverage is available. DNR Administrative Warden Matt O’Brien says the new electronic registration was tested in 2014 and has worked well in other seasons throughout 2015. Now that they’ve fixed some kinks the system is ready for Wisconsin’s renowned nine-day gun deer hunt. “The concept of tele-registry isn’t really new to the state in terms of other species,” says O’Brien. “The biggest difference with the nine-day hunt is the number of animals harvested in this very short time frame.” “There are going to be a lot of deer camps where registration is identical to what it has been in years past,” he adds. “I think part of the culture and tradition that (hunters) enjoy are taking their deer down to the station, so they’ll take them down there anyway.” Feedback from the program in other seasons has

been very positive. “It’s been extremely convenient for bow hunters because when you shoot a deer on an 80-degree day you’ve got a very tight timeline to get to a meat processor before the meat spoils.” The new system helps the DNR too. O’Brien says the paper tagging system was antiquated and labor intensive for such a busy season. “For weeks after the hunt we’d have to hand key in all of the registration stubs over a very long period of time, so the true registration data wasn’t available for weeks, maybe months after the hunting season. This year it’s virtually instantaneous. Our researchers can do a query of the database and have nearly up-to-theminute harvest data of exactly how many deer have been registered,” he adds. And they can find out a lot more too. “Part of that is herd health monitoring, trying to determine what our age structure is — to get a good handle of what kind of population is out on the landscape.” When asked about enforcement concerns, O’Brien is positive. “Our hunters overall have a pretty vested interest in making sure we have good harvest data, so for a lot of them registration is their way of contributing to the data,” he says. “Registration was mandatory for decades, and it’s still mandatory. The requirement hasn’t changed, it’s just how you go about it.” This year’s hunters have several options: They can register their deer at a traditional registration station, via telephone, through the DNR’s free ‘Wisconsin Pocket Ranger’ mobile app, or directly online at gamereg.wi.gov. “It makes a lot of people’s lives easier. For those where getting to a registration station was inconvenient, they’ve got a lot more options,” says O’Brien. Once registered, hunters will receive a confirmation number, which must be written on the carcass tag and affixed to the animal. Failure to do so is a violation. Hunting licenses can also be purchased electronical-

ly, but with the deer gun season upon us, O’Brien recommends buying licenses in-person to avoid shipping delays.

Burnett Medical Center hosted its third-annual Diabetes Education Night Thursday, November 12. With over ten percent of the local population over age 20 diagnosed with diabetes, the event was held in honor of American Diabetes Month to educate those affected by the condition. The two-hour event featured a presentation by BMC Clinical Pharmacist, Kelsey Eckert, PharmD, titled “Understanding Your Diabetic Medications: Orals to Injectables.” She spoke to the audience on how to better manage diabetes medications and how the medications work for the condition. Another feature of the third annual event was an interactive panel discussion, including panelists Gordy Lewis (l-r), Becky Lake, and Marilyn Gronlund, in which they shared their experiences and lessons learned in managing diabetes.

Pirates season comes to an end in State semi-ﬁnal BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

SCHOFIELD—The Grantsburg Pirate football team’s season came to an end as they lost in the state semi-final game to the defending state champions, St. Mary’s Springs Ledgers, by a score of 34-7. The Pirates had a very successful season that took them one game away from playing for the state title, racking up 12 wins along the way to set a school record for the most wins in a season. “A disappointing loss in the fact that we had a poor start and didn’t play our best football when we needed to,” Pirates coach Adam Hale said. “Against a team like St. Mary’s Springs, you need to block and tackle at your highest level. It just wasn’t our day as we made several mistakes offensively and missed some tackles that led to big plays for them.” For the first time this season the Pirates found themselves behind as the Ledgers got on the board first on a 23 yard touchdown run. The PAT hit the left upright, making the score 6-0.

SMS scored again on a 30 yard pass to make it a 13-0 game at the end of the first quarter. The Pirates grabbed their first of three interceptions of the game as John Chenal snatched the ball out of the air to stop another Ledger drive. But the Pirates were unable to capitalize on the turnover and went three and out, punting the ball back to SMS. The Ledgers’ huge front line made it hard for the Pirates to get their running game going, forcing them to go to the air more than usual. SMS found paydirt again in the second quarter to add to their lead, making it a 20-0 game at halftime. “We knew it would be a challenge on the line of scrimmage and credit St. Mary’s for playing great defense all night. On offense, they made the big

plays when they needed them in the first half to get off to a great start,” Hale noted. “The second half we basically played them even, but the first half hole was too

Jake Wicklund played tough on the line against the giants across from him, tallying up one solo and eight assists. Dakota Schultz ended the list with seven assists. “We want to thank our supportive fans who once again turned out a great showing, packed the visitors side of the stadium and were behind us all the way,” the coach said of the Pirate faithful who made the trek. “It really made for some great atmospheres these past few weeks.” The Pirates end their season with a 12-1 record, an undefeated Lakeland North Conference title, and place in the Grantsburg football history books. “I’m very proud to have been able to coach this group of kids. Our seniors (Brett Anderson, Chase Covey, Mason McEvers, Jaeger Staeven and Kevin Vollendorf) will really be missed. Not only did they lead us to a school record setting season, they are all outstanding young men,” Hale said. “To make level 4 was a great experience for our program and the kids will be able to look back forever at this season and have a ton of great memories.”

big to climb out.” The Pirates turned to a hurry-up style offense in the third quarter, and marched down the field and scored on a 14 yard pass from Avery Fagerberg to Leo Chenal. The point after kick by Fagerberg was good to get the Pirates on the board. SMS scored in the third quarter as well, and once more in the fourth to round out the scoring. Defensively for the Pirates, John Chenal led the team in tackles with eight solos and 12 assists. He also pulled down two interceptions. Jaeger Staeven had an interception as well.

More means more difficult As the Sentinel Sports Team gathered around the customary oak table in the deep confines of the office, we found that there were many more candidates to choose from to determine the Sentinel’s All County Volleyball team. Over the last few years, we haven’t had the players to choose as there were this year. Yet to choose a First Team along with Honorable Mention proved to be head scratching at times. But, we found a way, along with help from the coaches, to select the players we felt were worthy of the honor. So without further ado, here we go, the Sentinel’s All County Volleyball Team: First Team player honors go to Lizzie Stanford, Ashlee Rightman and Allie Webster, all from Siren. Lizzie, a left front hitter, was Siren’s dominant all-around player this year. She was the top digger and jump served over 90 percent. She also served as Siren’s captain. Ashlee Rightman was a front row hitter and also a blocker. She also jump served consistently. Allie Webster, a libero, was a very strong serve receiver. She played the max that a libero could play due to her strong serve receive. She also hit over 90 percent of her serves. From Webster, we chose Taylor Howe. Taylor made 236 kills to go along with her 158 assists, 42 blocks, 88 digs and 51 service aces. Rounding out our First Team are Delia Labatt, Cassidy Lee and Rhiana Pochman from Grantsburg. Delia had 177 kills, 26 service aces and a service percentage of 94.5. She also had 215 digs and a total of 13 blocks. Cassidy Lee was close behind Delia with 167 kills, 54 service aces, and a serving percentage of 86.5. Cassidy also had 61 total blocks with 51 digs. Rhiana Pochman recorded 190 kills, 58 total blocks with 19 digs. That’s quite a crew we’ve listed, but we’re not done yet. For our Honorable Mention individuals, we have Emily Stiemann and Aubri Larson (Siren), Sophie Phernetton and Kaitlyn Moser (Webster) and Drew McNally (Grantsburg). Emily was in the middle front and was a strong leader for the Siren team. She did well with blocking and attacking from the middle. “Her strongest area was her attitude and leadership,” says her coach. She was also a captain for the team. Aubri was the consummate setter for the Dragons. Down the stretch it was Aubri who got the nod for the

set to any one of the front line hitters, as well as being a consistent player in the back row. Sophie tallied 120 kills, 69 solo blocks and 34 aces. Kaitlyn got 108 kills, 62 solo blocks with 23 aces. She was a dependable player in the front row and from the serving area. Drew, a Pirate libero, served 94 percent and led the team in digs with 264. Our “Players to Watch” include Abby Kosloski (Siren) along with Kenna Johnson and Jenna McNally, both of Grantsburg. Abby served well and was also a force to be reckoned with when she was near the front line. With her abilities, she should be a very bright light for Siren the next two years. Kenna is tall, has long arms and is going to be a good blocker as well as an outside hitter. As her confidence built during the season, she improved greatly and should be fun to watch in the years coming up. Freshman Jenna McNally stepped up to any situation when called upon. She controlled the back row and made the hard digs when they came her way. From the three schools, there is one athlete who was the most “All Around” player, we dare say, in the entire conference. The Sentinel gave this year’s Most Valuable Player recognition to Olivia Tucker from Grantsburg. “Livi” had 43 aces to go with a 92.4 serving percentage. She made 241 kills and 261 digs. She also had 26 total blocks. She was a constant leader on the court for her teammates and gave 100 percent every play. Livi was also placed on the 2015 Wisconsin Volleyball Coaches Association Honorable mention team. Congratulations, players. We’ve had a great season with surprises, thrills, chills and excitement. Seniors, best of luck in your future endeavors. Maybe we’ll see you on the court at a nearby college, yet whatever you do and wherever you go, thanks for this year and its memories. Underclassmen, keep on working hard. We’re happy with your efforts and dedication. Maybe next year your name will be here. Coaches, thank you also for your dedication shown to these young women. There’s a lot behind the scenes that people don’t see. We tip our caps to you. Thank you fans for the support of your teams. These athletes surely appreciate it. Until next volleyball season, from the Sentinel Sports Team, so long!

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

Mum is a one year old cat that came to us as a stray. She didn’t come alone though. Mum brought her three little kittens with her – all boys! Word has it that it was raining and she was trying to move her kittens to shelter. Mum and the “Three Amigos” were rescued and brought to a real shelter. I couldn’t resist posting the picture with all three kittens, even though one has left the building already, because it was so darn cute. Pumpkin, the fluffy, longhaired orange kitten (one Mum of Mum’s kittens); along with Winnie, the little lone orange kitten with the pitiful cries I featured not too long ago; have been adopted together. Leaf is an orange kitten and October is a grey tabby The Three Amigos kitten. Both are adorable and were very laid back when I went to say hello. Mum doesn’t look like she had a litter of kittens as she doesn’t look old enough. She is a petite thing and looks a lot like October, but with little patches of orange mixed in with her grey striped coat. Mum was very welcoming when I came to her condo and couldn’t get enough attention. Although she had beautiful coloring, her fur was a little thicker and coarser, but short in length. Mum is gentle, friendly, and calm. Her boys seem to follow her demeanor. Kittens grow up fast, so get them while they’re young so you have time to experiences their antics and watch them grow. Dusty and Hunter, another set of kittens featured recently, are still available at the shelter. If you want to fast-forward to a more relaxed cat that has been there, done that already – we have plenty of adult cats (like Mum) needing a home. I believe we have the cat or kitten you are looking for! Check us out online or stop by to see us Tuesday through Saturday, 12- 5 p.m. If you are interested in adopting Mum, Leaf, October, Dusty, Hunter, 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.

Last year’s ice season could easily go down as the best ever. With good ice coming early and fish that were cooperating, just about everywhere you went the action was red hot. A lot of the evidence showed up on Facebook, with countless pictures of panfish and walleyes posted. There’s no doubt the fish took a beatin’. They probably had it coming, though, as fish got off easy the prior season with all of the snow that made it almost impossible to get around and severely restricted the catch. It’s too early to tell what this year will bring, but something normal and average would sure be nice. Walleyes get a lot of the early attention and rightly so; it’s when they are relatively easy SUBMITTED to find and as active as they are Jonathan Anlauf of North Carolina going to be.

too close. The Helix 5 also has a G.P.S. with a chartplotter and will display contour lines that reveal any break lines and structure. It’s an awesome and powerful feature, but when it comes to Red you can basically forget about the structure and concentrate on the fish. Other than the main shoreline break where shallower flats drop from six feet or so to maybe nine or ten, there just isn’t much for structure. There are a few offshore reefs out in the middle of the lake and they can produce later on in the season, but get pounded and really aren’t that important to finding good numbers of fish, especially now. Early on, the action is much closer to shore and the fish are just about anywhere and everywhere, but they do bunch up and a move or two might be in order if things are a little slow to start with. We made one move last year and actually fished the exact same holes two days in a row and kept the poles bending all day long. If the fish were there, they at least came in for a look and showed up as thick red marks on the ‘Bird and stayed fairly close to the bottom, at least to start with. If they came in but hesitated, we could get a lot of them to go by lifting the bait up higher and giving it a light pump followed by a stall. The higher they went the more likely they were to give in and inhale the bait. A second spoon down another hole in a stationary position also claimed its share of walleyes and helped to keep walleyes in the vicinity especially after a hit and miss where the minnow head was stripped off. Even though there had to be hundreds of walleyes in the area, they still came through in smaller packs and there was some wait time between flurries of pandemonium. You could double the fun with a second rig. See you on the ice.

Excellent Snowy Owl viewing GRANTSBURG—Observing a snowy owl in the wild can be a thrilling experience, and early reports statewide indicate birders and non-birders alike may be afforded more viewing opportunities this winter. As their name suggests, snowy owls are generally a northern species, nesting worldwide on the treeless tundra above the Arctic Circle. During a typical winter, some remain close to their breeding areas, while others head south into southern Canada and the northern United States, including a small number in Wisconsin each year. Every handful of years, however, large numbers move into Wisconsin in an event known as an irruption. Why these irruptions occur is not completely understood, but is thought to be closely tied to snowy owls’ favorite tundra prey — small rodents known as lemmings. Surprisingly, this year marks the third consecutive year, and fourth out of the last five, with an irruption of snowy owls in Wisconsin. As of Nov. 9, approximately 72 snowy owls have been recorded in 37 counties across the state. This compares to only five owls by this date in 2014, while no owls arrived until Nov. 15 in 2013. This year’s birds first arrived Oct. 15, nearly a month earlier than most years. “It’s extremely unusual to see irruptions into the same region in three straight years,” said Ryan Brady, a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources research scientist. “But, this is a mysterious species whose movements and ecology we do not fully under-

stand, largely because of the remote northern haunts it typically calls home.”

Viewing opportunities People can improve their chances of viewing a snowy owl in the wild by understanding the species’ habits. Check low-level perches in open, tundra-like habitats around dawn or dusk from November to March. Common habitats include coastal beaches and harbors, open grasslands and agricultural fields, wetland complexes, airports, and vast expanses of ice-covered water bodies. Snowy owls are not averse to civilization, and can also be found in suburban or urban settings. In these habitats snowy owls eat a wide variety of prey from small rodents to rabbits to ducks and other birds. They can be seen any time of day, though many individuals only roost during daylight hours and actively hunt from dusk to dawn. Brady asks owl observers to report their sighting to Wisconsin eBird at www.ebird.org/wi, an online bird reporting system that helps track snowy owls and other bird species.

Viewing considerations Some general recommendations for observing snowy owls in the wild include: • Do not approach an owl too closely — you are too close if the bird frequently looks at you, sits erect with open eyes peering in your direction, or flushes from

its perch; • Avoid repeated flushing; • Do not play audio recordings from smartphones or other devices; • Do not feed owls mice or other prey, which may lead to unintended negative impacts, like habituation to people, higher likelihood of vehicle collision, and disease; • Minimize use of flash photography, especially after dark, as this can disrupt an owl’s activity patterns; • When viewing from a vehicle (recommended!), turn off the engine to avoid interfering with the owl’s auditory hunting technique; • Ask landowner permission before frequenting private property; and • Avoid blocking public roadways and access points. According to Brady, these recommendations are especially important this season, as some of the owls have arrived in an exhausted condition and would benefit from as little human disturbance as possible. “Though the reasons are still unclear, it is obvious that these early-arriving owls are a bit more stressed than the past couple years,” Brady noted. “One of the best ways observers can help is to give the birds plenty of space to rest, hunt and recuperate after their long journey south.” People who think an owl may be sick or injured should contact a local DNR office or wildlife rehabilitator for assistance.

You stand there with that idiotic look on your face and waste my time. Why are you so stupid?â&#x20AC;? Her angry son waves his hand in the air, storms out and slams the door. Mom tears up, knowing she has hurt him again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and has hurt herself too. This scene is acted out each day somewhere in America. These angry words push away boys and girls sealing their overly-sensitive young emotions into cold, dark tombs.

Kids lash out; they hurt the very people they should trust and love. But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the daily struggle of immature kids experiencing fear, physical and mental discomfort, and a sense of youthful disorientation. Hopefully we adults have left that behind us, but we should understand their need to be loved even when they are most unlovable. Somewhere in their emotions and thoughts, kids want our approval and our affection. Let your conversations end with the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will always love you.â&#x20AC;?

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Broken B k rail il caused dd derailment il t WATERTOWN (AP) — Canadian Pacific Railway says a broken rail caused an oil train derailment in southeastern Wisconsin last weekend. The railroad said Wednesday the defect was not visible to the naked eye. More than a dozen cars of a CP train loaded with crude oil jumped the tracks in Watertown on Sunday afternoon, puncturing one car that spilled hundreds of gallons of its

lload d and d caused d th ti off a the evacuation neighborhood. The railroad says it uses rail flaw detector cars that use ultrasonic technology to detect defects the eye cannot see. The technology last passed over the site in late September, and nothing was found. The derailment happened a day after a BNSF Railway freight train derailed Saturday near Alma in western Wisconsin, spilling ethanol into the Mississippi River.

WEBSTER SENIORS By Bernie Bolter

It seems our beautiful fall weather is coming to an end. On to another season. Seventeen came to play dime bingo on Wednesday. Come join the fun. We will not be playing on Wednesday, November 25, the day before Thanksgiving. Pool and cards or dominoes are played on Thursday at 1 p.m. Always room for more, just come in. Wii bowling was fun as always

and some great games. Pat had high individual game and series with 252 and 472 respectively. The No Names had high team game and series at 835 and 1534. Harry picked up the 4-6-7 split. Fred the 2-5-7 twice and Bill the 2-7. That was our last day for bowling until January 8. Remember, the only difference between a good day and a bad one is attitude. See you at the center.
