VALUE-ADDED GRANT: Burnett Dairy to produce meat-infused string cheese. P2

Sirentel to bring ﬁber to Webster BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Sid Sherstad, the president of Sirentel, was told he needed to be at the Governor’s Northern Wisconsin Economic Summit last week in Trego. “I was planning to go anyway but I was told I had to be there,” he shared with a laugh. Why? Sirentel was the recipient of a $150,000 grant, part of the $1.5 million Governor Scott Walker and the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin set aside for broadband projects. “We applied and were awarded the grant to bring fiber optics to Webster,” Sherstad explained. “It’s a $150,000 grant, which helps but doesn’t pay nearly the whole thing — but it does help subsidize what we’ll be doing.” The ‘doing’ involves burying cables, directional boring under the roads and locating other utilities so as not to cut lines. “It’ll be very good for the village — both businesses and residential customers,” he continued. “Webster was deemed a village which was being underserved by their current provider.” A number of entities were behind Sirentel and its efforts to bring fiber to Webster. “The village board, the superintendent of Webster Schools, Nate Ehalt, the county administrator and the Burnett County Development Association each wrote thoughtful, well-worded letters in support of our proposal,” Sherstad pointed out. “Each letter was in our application and helped us secure the grant.” As a ‘leap of faith,’ Sirentel is just bringing the option of fiber optics to Webster. “We’ll be building the main routes — under the streets and alleys, and making it available to every business and resident,” Sherstad remarked. “Then individual customers can decide if they want to ‘tie-in.’” And therein lies the unknown for Sherstad. “We don’’t know how many will take it,” he admitted. “Some may be happy with their current service, others may want to upgrade.” Sirentel won’t be doing the actual construction —they’ll focus on the expertise of splicing the lines and bringing the service to individual buildings.

DANBURY—Taking a proactive stance in regard to the aging population which uses its facility, the Luther Park board of directors has embarked on an expansion plan to bring a ‘hotel-style’ adult and family retreat center to its property on Twenty Six Lake. “It’s just another way to expand our ministries — to serve the people who come here,” Joel Legred, Luther Park director, pointed out. Currently, the park has eight cabins, a welcome center, a campground, a bath house, a small retreat center and a dining hall/main lodge which

Meat-infused string cheese — ‘an entrepreneurial venture’ BY MEG ROD SENTINEL INTERN

ALPHA—A good producer makes a product that benefits the public, and leaves that product the same forever. A great producer innovates, takes risks, and tries at all costs to catch a consumer’s eye. And so, grants are given to benefit those who want to excel — such as the Burnett Dairy Cooperative. BDC will be taking in $250,000 from this grant, and the money will be used for a new product. “Burnett Dairy Cooperative was recently awarded the op-

portunity to receive a Value Added Producer Grant from the USDA,” Dan Dowling, the President and CEO of Burnett Dairy Cooperative, pointed out in a prepared statement about the grant. “The grant is specifically related to a new meat infused string cheese product line that Burnett Dairy has been developing over the past few years and will be releasing into retail stores nationwide over the next few months.” At the tail end of November, a USDA news release proclaimed that $2.2 million was being given out in grants to the development of rural Wisconsin agri-

cultural producers. This sum amounts to six to seven percent of what was given nationwide — which was an estimated $34 million. Jeff Hudson and Michael Daniels both work for the USDA Rural Development Agency in Stevens Point. Hudson is the Business Programs Director, and Daniels is the Business & Cooperative Programs Specialist. They explained the initiative behind giving this grant. The USDA accepted applications for the grant earlier this year. In the news release, it was explained that priority applicants included military veterans, farmers and ranchers attempting to start a business (as well as present operators of small farms,) and to agricultural producers — such as cooperatives. Twelve businesses were selected in the state, and BDC was one of them. “It’s a very competitive pro-

which is pretty accurate, given the circumstances. The grant should assist with production, as well as putting the product on the market. More importantly, this money will idealistically benefit the surrounding rural community. These grants are not only aimed at helping businesses and consumers. The USDA wants the entire concept of rural living to be improved, and for the public to thrive when small-town companies are excelling. This seemingly small, yet nationwide project should be “adding workers to produce new jobs and make a stable workforce that can run the rural economy,” according to Hudson. Wisconsin was ranked third in the nation for the amount of grants awarded, behind Virginia (21) and New York (14).

gram, the participants competed nationally,” Daniels said. Specifically, this money will target a new product that should hit the market in a few months. In cooperation with Jack Link’s, BDC will make a string cheese product with a beef stick in the center. “They came together and decided this was something there was a market for,” Hudson added. Dowling had the same point of view. “This is an opportunity to help Burnett Dairy continue to develop and position their line of value-added consumer products into a competitive retail landscape,” he noted. The purpose of the grant is not to give out “free money” though — according to Hudson, there is a dollar-for-dollar price match that BDC must contribute. An “entrepreneurial venture” is how Daniel stated it —

Eggstraordinary

With the first official snowfall (snow which actually accumulated rather than melt upon contact with the ground), those farm fresh eggs are harder and harder to come by. One of my egg guys had a hawk or some other winged-predator take out half his flock so getting eggs from him became a dead-end — pun intended. By the way, these are local guys but like a wary fisherman, I’ll keep their names under my hat so others can’t get my eggs. Called another guy last night and he told me ever since daylight savings kicked off last month production is down — he’s getting about three eggs a day from his flock. Still another said the cold weather is really wreaking havoc on his birds’ egg production. Plus the snow makes it tough for those chickens to be outside eating a natural diet — most people who raise chickens switch to commercial feed this time of year. That’s all well and good but the Beckmann’s are partial to grain-free, non-GMO (genetically modified organism) eggs and search high and low for eggs which fit the bill. Now, if money weren’t an issue, we could shell out whatever it takes to buy our eggs. Seems But since when is money nevto Me er an issue? Fortunately, the Village of Todd Beckmann Grantsburg recently updated its code to allow village residents to raise chickens. That clears the road for me to raise my own chickens and, if the popularity of farm fresh eggs is any indication, perhaps make a buck or two in the process. But there are several problems with that train of thought. First is the time commitment. Now I might be a tad selfish and I may well be wrong but if I had chickens, I think I’d have to hang around the house all the time to care for the birds and recover eggs. If that’s true — there go any extended vacations. The rest comes back to the almighty kahuna. First, I’d have to buy some sort of hut for them to live in because, and the wife will readily verify this, I’m all thumbs when it comes to the trade skills. Then I’d have to buy some sort of netting to hang over the coop area. I’d have to outfit the coop with some sort of insulation so the birds continue to produce eggs throughout the winter. Maybe wire the thing for electricity so I could add a few light bulbs to aid in heat generation. I’d also have to fork out some dollars to get the proper feed. Then there’s the sign to post on the boulevard advertising the Beckmann’s are selling eggs. That may be the most important piece — I’ve lost track of the wasted miles I’ve clocked on the car going to places I know were selling eggs only to find they were sold out or the birds didn’t produce. Hmmmm .... maybe $5 a dozen isn’t too bad compared to the alternative.

It wasn’t a teddy bear Throughout history, bears have been feared, revered and humanized in myth and legend. From early man hunting the bears for their coats to Goldilocks invading the home of the three bears, we have had a love/hate relationship with bears. Many of us grew up with miniature versions of the anFrom the imal, ever since Publisher’s Teddy Roosevelt refused to kill an Desk old and injured bear in MississipTom Stangl pi in 1902. A cartoon depicting the president refusing to kill the bear became linked with his image and entrepreneurs soon began making stuffed versions of “Teddy’s bear,” and the rest is history. The only bears I had seen before moving here over three years ago were in zoos. So I have to admit that I was more than a bit shocked when I actually saw bear prints in the new snow around my home the day after Thanksgiving. According to the Black Bear Society, there are 20,000 black bears living in Minnesota and 35,000 in

Wisconsin. That’s a lot of bears. I get the fact that we live in the northlands and I have actually seen a bear lumber across the highway in daylight, but seeing prints in the new snow a few feet away from where you watch television is a bit disconcerting. In doing some research for the column, I learned that the bears are opportunists when it comes to eating, adapting to whatever is around to eat, from grass to insects to the occasional young deer or dead animals — even trash. As I was reading the list of things bears eat, I couldn’t help but think of Euell Gibbons, the back-to-theland forager from the 1960s who starred in Grape Nuts commercials in the 1970s. “Ever eat a pine tree?” he would say in his southern drawl. “Many parts are edible,” he would say before the pitchman began espousing the benefits of the cereal. Bears actually do eat the buds of hardwood trees in the spring. According to the Black Bear Society, bears are active in late fall as long as food is plentiful. In years of abundant natural crops, they will feed until snow makes travel difficult, and normally enter dens in late November. If late fall food is scarce, bears usually enter dens by mid-October.

It makes sense that the warmer than normal weather has the bears still out and about packing on the pounds before hibernating. I have always envied the hibernating bear. Who among us wouldn’t want to simply just sleep through winter, dropping a few pounds in the process? Sounds like a sweet deal to me, but I can imagine the bear wouldn’t mind having the convenience of a grocery store to forage through, as well as the opposable thumbs that we take for granted. I imagine I’ll need to be more careful with the trash and will probably take the bin to the curb in the morning, rather than the night before like I usually do most weeks. One thing’s for sure, my dogs may have a new thing to bark at when they are in the back yard. Like they need anything else to bark at when they are out in the fenced-in back yard. One thing is certain, everyone in the neighborhood has a hot topic to discuss with their friends. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading. I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

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

Why property rights matter Last week I introduced two property rights bills. The central idea behind both bills is the same - you own your property, not the government. As we have seen government grow, it has gradually crept into every corner of our lives. And, it is not just the federal government - it’s state and local government as well. Property rights are important for three distinct, but equally important, reasons: First, there is a principle at stake of which we should never lose sight.

Adam Jarchow District 28 Assemblyman

The government is subservient to the citizen, not the other way around. Second, by far and away, the greatest showcase of success and prosperity ever known to man, is what we, as citizens, have in our property. Of course, that pros-

perity derived from property ownership has fundamentally changed history. Third, Wisconsin’s economy is incredibly dependent on property-intensive industries. Think of farming, manufacturing, mining, and even tourism. For the past five years, we have pressed the idea that “Wisconsin is Open for Business.” In short, it is time to put power back in the hands of the people.

‘Drive sober or get pulled over’ holiday campaign To combat drunken driving, Burnett Co. Law Enforcement officers will join other law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin in the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” national campaign from Dec. 18, 2015 to Jan. 3, 2016. “Although drunken driving is 100 percent preventable, on average someone is killed or injured in an alcohol-related crash in Wisconsin every three hours,” says Sheriff Wilhelm. “And while celebrating the holidays, people may be tempted to drive when they are

impaired. During the ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign,’ our officers will be out in force to arrest drunken drivers before they kill or injure themselves or an innocent victim.” Rather than risk a drunken driving arrest or crash, the Burnett County Law Enforcement officers urge you to follow these common sense suggestions: • Choose a sober designated driver before you start drinking. • If you’re feeling buzzed, you likely are over the 0.08 BAC limit

and should not drive. • Call a taxicab or ask a sober friend to drive you home. • The “Zero In Wisconsin” traffic safety program has a free “Drive Sober” mobile app that can be downloaded by visiting zeroinwisconsin.gov Some taverns and restaurants have programs to provide patrons with a safe ride home. Visit www. tlw.org/ and click on Safe Ride. Report impaired drivers to law enforcement by calling 911.

It’s hard to believe we’re getting closer and closer to Christmas! These exceptionally warm days make it seem more like fall. But, if you listen carefully, you may hear Christmas tunes coming from some of the businesses while walking down the street or on the radio in the stores. Did you get a chance to take part in Santa Day? There was so much excitement in the air at the library, as the line to sit on Santa’s lap seemed endless! Pictures with Santa, book fair and Scott McNally signing his book, ”Hoot Hoot Goodnight.” It has an interesting fact about the Grantsburg area.

AREA CHURCH ADVENT SCHEDULE

SIREN SENIORS Last week: We hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving. The community dinner at the center was a great success as usual. It is so nice that the churches sponsor this dinner. The Christmas dinner at the school will be on December 12. This is a free dinner. Santa comes and the entertainment is great. Keep this date marked on your calendar. This week:

Time got away from me! Due to holidays, company and the bug, I didn’t get the news in for two weeks. Sorry for that. I will try to get all the happenings at the center up to date. Our last regular Wii bowling was on Nov. 13, but we always have one more day called Fun Day which we did on Nov 20. Instead of team bowling, we had the gals vs. the guys. The gals won both games. We tried not to strut around too much. It was a lot of fun. We will resume regular games on Friday, Jan 8. On Sunday, Nov. 22, we had a border battle party, Packers vs. Vikings. We had a lot of good food and enjoyed ourselves, even though my team didn’t win. We will have another one in January. Our bargain table seems to be very popular. Stop in and check it out and if you have any items you would like to donate, we would be happy to accept them. Nikki is still serving great lunches. Pick up a menu and sign up for your favorites. Dime bingo continues to draw good crowds. We play at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Join the fun. We will not be playing on Dec. 23 or Dec. 30. The decorating fairies have been here and decorated for the Christmas season. It looks very festive. Good job. Birthday wishes to Ruth, Jerome and all others celebrating their special day in December. Remember, if you want a rainbow, you have to put up with the rain. See you at the center.

“We’ll bid the construction piece out to a professional crew who has the proper equipment and manpower,” Sherstad said. Sherstad sees the upgrade starting in May or June. “If we get all the supplies, we can start as soon as the ground is ready,” he said. “Then by August and September, we’ll be ready for live customers.” In a favorite way of explaining this technological advance, Sherstad likens fiber optics to water through some sort of conveyance. “In the days of dial-up, it was like drinking through a cocktail straw; DSL was a little bigger straw; faster broadband is like a garden hose but fiber is like a fire hydrant,” he explained. In fact, he said the beauty of fiber is allowing multiple users in one residence. “You can have someone watching Netflix, a child doing homework on their computer, and someone else doing gaming — fiber can handle it all,” Sherstad boasted. And now Webster will be among the top five percent, technology-wise, in the country. “Fewer than five percent of homes have fiber optic,” he stated. “It can carry the most data in the most efficient manner.” But what does that mean for John Q. Public? “Rather than just being able to send emails, if they choose they can stream video over the internet,” Sherstad reasoned. “Plus, businesses won’t be limited by their current internet connection— they’ll be able to push huge files back-and-forth, do video-conferencing like Skype and more.” Sirentel plans to reapply for the grant next year in hopes of bringing more fiber optic to the Voyager Village area. “People want to work from their home,” Sherstad noted. “If they had enough internet, they could have the four-day weekend or work from home altogether.”

nature — and the computer evidence will require forensic analysis at the Wisconsin Crime Lab,” Bill Norine, Burnett County’s DA, wrote in a letter to Judge Ken Kutz in November. “In the interest of justice, judicial economy and the need for a litigated result that will withstand appeal, the parties request the trial be continued.” The judge granted the continuance. The crimes, two counts of theft from a business setting in excess of $10,000, are Class G felonies. If convicted, Blake could face a fine up to $25,000, up to 10 years in prison, or both, per count.

Burnett seeks second DA BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—For years, each county in the state has been accountable for a seemingly unending supply of unfunded mandates from the State of Wisconsin. But now, following action of the county’s public safety meeting last week, it is Burnett County’s turn to hold the state accountable. The committee endorsed a resolution requesting the Wisconsin Department of Administration fund a fulltime assistant district attorney for the county. Burnett County is currently served by District Attorney Bill Norine with the help of Angeline Winton, who serves as a quarter-time assistant. “There isn’t a crisis —we are staying abreast of our caseload,” Norine pointed out. “It’s the ‘What if?’ that’s a cause for concern.” He said Washburn County is a prime example of a oneman show. “Their DA, Tom Frost, has been out ill for several weeks and it looks like he’ll be out for several more weeks,” Norine speculated. In fact, he has lost Winton’s services to Washburn County as she is filling in for Frost. “We intended to get other counties that were in the same boat involved but no one else was interested,” member Dale Dresel said of the resolution. But even without other takers, the resolution moved forward. “We’ll go it alone,” Jerry Pardun, committee chairman, noted. Member Gene McLain was of the opinion some supporting evidence needed to accompany the resolution. “We need to include the number of cases our DA handles, things like that,” he urged. The resolution, which will go before the full county board for approval next week, will be forwarded to the DOA, the Governor as well as area legislators. In other business: • The big news on the emergency communication towers network front was in regards to the last tower in the system. “The St. Croix Chippewa tribe has signed a memo-of-understanding (MOU) which would allow the county to use the water tower in Hertel as our tower,” Rhonda Reynolds, emergency management director, told members. “Sirentel has already laid fiber optic cable to

the site.” Reynolds also explained how the county has entered into a one-year contract with RayCom to manage the radio equipment. “I’m glad they are doing it because it is extremely sensitive and complex equipment,” she added. “They are also under contract to maintain the generators at each site.” • The committee approved an updated pawnbroker ordinance to help battle criminals selling stolen goods “Because property crime is up, we see pawn shops as a good way for criminals to fence that stolen merchandise,” Jameson Wiltrout, sheriff’s department investigator, reported. With the only pawn shop in the county making monthly reports to it, the sheriff’s department can no longer make query reports of the Automated Pawn System (APS). Hence the need for an ordinance update. “We can’t track these stolen items without APS,” Wiltrout lamented. “Using the system actually deters property crimes — it makes pawn owners more cautious about what they take and people who are known for fencing stolen goods through a pawn shop are no longer welcome as customers at those shops.” The county will be charged $2.50 every time an item is uploaded into the APS system, and that transaction fee will be absorbed into the fees the pawn shop charges for buying and/or selling an item. Until the committee adopted the update, Burnett County was one of the few jurisdictions in the area without this kind of ordinance. “We can’t become the oasis,” Wiltrout pointed out. “The criminals know where to go to avoid being caught.” He hopes the ordinance becomes effective the first of the year. • Courthouse safety was on members’ minds as the public safety meeting occurred the day after the shootings in San Bernardino, Calif. “We are working with the sheriff’s department on ‘active shooter’ training — what to do, what not to do,” Nate Ehalt, county administrator, explained. “We will continue that into 2016.” • The committee accepted Kathy Howe’s letter of retirement and approved filling he vacancy she’ll be leaving. “We will certainly miss her level of experience,” Jared Woody, jail captain, commented on Howe’s departure.

serves youth, adults and families on the 184-acre parcel on the west side of Twenty Six Lake. “We found we weren’t able to serve as many older adults who wanted more of a ‘hotel-style’ facility,” Legred explained. “Separate bathhouses were more acceptable when people were younger, but now they are seeking some of the privacy that in-room bathrooms provide.” In fact, a lot of the supporters of the year-round ministry, founded in 1959, are now in their 70s. “If they used to come here, this expansion will give them a chance to relive their experiences,” Legred continued.

In Phase I of the expansion, the camp is focusing on building a 16-room facility, complete with meeting space and a gathering area. “If the need and the opportunity arises to expand even more, we can do that, but for now we are going to focus on this piece,” Legred noted. While the new retreat center might be new, it will fit the mission of the camp. “A typical room will have two queen beds and a bathroom in the room — an adult-friendly space,” he described. “Some of the rooms will be handicapped-accessible, but the rooms will not have a television or a phone.” Nor will the building have a kitchen facility. “It’s a short walk to the dining hall,”

Legred said with a laugh. “After all, the whole idea is to get them outdoors.” That idea was paramount when the camp began in 1959. “We have found all ages benefit through the opportunity to get into nature and it is especially beneficial we are on a beautiful spring-fed lake,” he remarked. “But our current housing situation is making that difficult for some of the older guests who would like to join us for a retreat.” He is hopeful that will change in the next year or two. “Our goal is to break ground sometime in 2016,” Legred reported. “Our facility drawings are at the state right now — we hope to get approval by the end of the year.”

Once the plans are approved, Legred said the time line on construction is being deliberately left open to allow the building to be built at a time which is normally a slow time for contractors. “It’s hard to say, but we are hoping to have the new center open for the summer of 2017,” he pointed out. “By having the new facility, we are hoping to have multiple ministries happening at the same time — we could have our normal summer campers but we could have an adult retreat going on at the same time.” Legred said those interested could navigate to the camp’s homepage at lutherpark.com or call 715-656-7244 for more information.

MINONG—Anyone looking for a job in Wisconsin should find a job, Gov. Scott Walker stated on four occasions during his opening address at the Governor’s Northern Wisconsin Economic Development Summit on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at the Heartwood Conference Center and Retreat, Washburn County “Everybody who wants a job should be able to find a job,” Walker said. “A simple phrase but not always the most simple to implement.” Walker was upbeat about the possibility of securing a job because the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) lists monthly between 80,000 and 100,000 job openings, but also because 15,100 new jobs were added in October and more than 43,000 new jobs were added in the state for the last 12 months from October to October. “That is the biggest one-month increase in private-sector jobs since April of 1992,” Walker said of the 15,100 new jobs. Walker accused the media of focusing on companies downsizing, such as the recent announcement of the Oscar Meyer plant closing in Madison, when the overall employment picture is positive with the unemployment rate at 4.3 percent (lowest since April 2001), lower than the national average of over five percent. “I look at the northwest part of the state – some counties it varies,” Walker said of the unemployment rate. “Some are lower than the state’s average, some are higher. It kind of fluctuates by communities, which is why we want to talk about strategies that every county and every community is doing well when it comes to employment.” He also touted the state’s labor participation rate, the percent of people in the workforce. Wisconsin is five percentage points above the national average. The state has a historical precedent of being above the national average. “We have a high percentage of people working, one of the top 10 in the country,” Walker said. “That means we have one of the highest percent of people in the workforce in our state’s history, one of the highest out there.” Walker asked summit participants to spread the “good news” because, he alleged, the media would bury it. “You know if the unemployment rate had gone up and the number of people working had gone down, that would be the banner headline,” Walker said. “If those job numbers had been different, that would be the banner headline, but instead we see those numbers buried in a one-paragraph news digest out there.” Other good news Walker talked about is the

state’s K-12 graduation rate is up again (the third highest in the country) and the ACT scores are second best in the nation, along with improvements in fourth- and eight-grade reading scores.

Three focuses Manufacturing, forestry, and tourism, Walker said, are the three key areas for northern Wisconsin’s economy. Manufacturing, he said, is “a huge part of the state’s economy,” with 19 percent of the state’s employment, 462,000 jobs, tied to manufacturing. Walker said most exporting out of the state is via manufacturing. “When you look at the world today, you realize that 90 percent of the world’s population is outside the borders of the United States of America,” he said. “ There are huge untapped markets out there.” Walker said the state would help small- to mid-size manufacturers sell to the world markets. “Huge incentive” is what Walker called the full implementation of the Manufacturing and Agriculture Tax Credit, a credit on manufacturing income first rolled out in 2013 at 1.87 percent and incrementally increased until it reaches its highest level of 7.5 percent in 2016. With those tax savings, Walker said, businesses could invest in new equipment versus sending dollars to Madison. Forestry, Walker said, is a major component of the state’s economy, with 62,000 jobs across logging, paper mills, and manufacturing using wood products. “Timber is a big part of our state’s economy,” Walker said. “ Other places around the country use bits and pieces of the forestry industry but we are good at using all aspects of that.” Tourism, he said, amounts to 187,000 jobs and is more than summer jobs offered to youth. “Yes, there are some tremendous opportunities for young people and others seeking part-time employment during the seasons,” he said, “but really, if you are at a place like this and so many others out there, there are family-supporting careers in a variety of different tourism activities in the state, and we’ve seen tremendous growth.” Walker said the state’s effort to market tourism has resulted in $18.5 billion to the state economy in 2015, up $1 billion from 2014. The primary reason people come to the state, he said, is to have fun, and the primary reason they return is because they were treated well. “If you are involved in the hospitality industry, one of the best things you can do is not just SEE WALKER, PAGE 9

Walker said he and members of his cabinet will hold listening sessions around the state to help set the direction for the state for the next five, 10, 15 years. “There are overriding goals I think we can agree on for the state,” he said. “The key then is how to get there. I think there is whole lot more that unites us as a state. We just need to spend more time listening and getting into the details to get that done.”

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker gave the opening address at the Governor’s Northern Wisconsin Economic Development Summit held Tuesday, Dec. 1 at the Heartwood Conference and Retreat Center, Town of Trego, Washburn County. “Everyone in Wisconsin who wants a job can ﬁnd a job,” Walker repeatedly said is his goal for the state. He reviewed past initiatives to overcome a jobs skill gap and talked of future plans to stir the state’s economy.

Walker’s two priorities for growing the state’s economy is “getting the government out of the way,” including lowering property and income taxes, and “being a better partner.” Walker said he wants state agencies to be proactive in helping businesses become compliant with state requirements versus focused on giving citations. He said businesses that are in compliance spend less time on regulations and litigation and more on making their operations efficient. Being a better partner, he said, includes providing good infrastructure – roads, rails, utilities, clean water, and more. He said the state has tripled the

ernor, you are making it hard to obtain government assistance.’ I said, ‘No, I’m not. I’m making it easier to get a job.’ We have anywhere from 80,000 to 100,000 job listings on any given week on jobcenterofwisconsin.com, and when we have an unemployment rate going down and labor participation rate going up, and when we have employers telling me we have positions opening up I need to fill, we can’t afford to have anyone on the sidelines.” Walker said the law does not kick people off assistance if they cannot find a job as long as they were in the program and looking for a job. “Where the media has distorted this thing is you get kicked off if you can’t find a job,” Walker said. “No, you get kicked off after a certain amount of time if you won’t enroll in one of our employability and training programs and if you won’t look for work. It doesn’t mean you have to find it right away.” He added, “Some say that’s heartless. I say it’s more cruel to not have the dignity that comes from work. In life, there’s far worse than being out of work. There is denying someone who is able-bodied the dignity that comes with work. There is something inherently positive about working.”

dollars invested in expanding broadband with private telecoms, such as a recent grant in Cable. Another way the state could be a better partner, he said, is helping workers gain skills for the job openings. “I’m really convinced our investments in workforce development are really investments in economic development,” Walker said, “because one of the best ways to get job creators to create more jobs and get new job creators to come here is to show them, better than any other place in the country, a pipeline of well-trained, well-educated people who can take those positions.” He praised the state’s efforts to find veterans jobs, leading to a lower unemployment level for veterans than the general population; Project Search which helps those with disabilities find jobs via a year-long series of internships; and helping workers who are also caregivers to someone suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

WHO says I shouldn’t eat bacon — everyday? There has been quite an uproar over news released recently in Lyon, France, from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO). The announcement regards the link between cancer and processed meat consumption. This was big news and depending on which news source you listen to, you heard some version of the basic report. The news I heard was that processed meats “do” cause cancer. Being a bit of a skeptic, I had to check it out for myself. I went directly to the WHO website. If this is true, what does that mean if I love bacon? By the way, the WHO directs and coordinates international health within the United Nations’ system. Their main areas of work are non-communicable diseases, communicable diseases, corporate services, preparedness, surveillance and response. Cancer falls under non-communicable diseases. When the WHO speaks, people listen. They got my attention. The IARC examinded more

than 800 studies that investigated associations of more than a dozen types of cancer with the consumption of red meat Wild Chow or processed Lisa Erickson meat in many countries and popu lation s with diverse diets. The most influential evidence came from large prospective cohort studies conducted over the past 20 years. I recommend you check it out at www.who.int. Basically, the experts concluded that each 50-gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent. “For an individual, the risk of developing colorectal cancer because of their consumption of processed meat remains small, but this risk increases with the amount of meat consumed. In view of the large number of people who consume processed meat, the global impact on cancer incidence is of public health

importance,” said, Dr. Kurt Straif, in a press release on the IARC’s website. So how much is 50 grams? About two slices of bacon. You would have to eat two slices of bacon or some other processed meat every day to increase your risk. In America that’s not very hard to do. We eat hot dogs, sausages, bacon, and lunch meat almost every week, maybe more often. We put sausage on pizza or eat it for breakfast. We eat sandwiches for lunch, think of subs and wraps. I love bacon on a salad and in a sandwich and for breakfast and even on a pizza. The IARC classifies processed meats as meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavor or to improve preservation. Most processed meats consist of pork, beef, and poultry. But, really any kind of meat that has been transformed is processed — including venison jerky. Does this mean we should never eat these things? No, but we should be aware of how much we consume and try to

limit it. No one I know wants to be sick or unhealthy, and I’m sure we all have known someone who has battled cancer. That is the main reason the WHO pursued studying the effects of processed meat. Cancer has become a chronic disease that affects people all over the world. I’m going to eat less processed

meat. It won’t be easy, but I think the odds are too high to dismiss. I will be eating more veggies and more fresh meats. I might even reduce the amount of red meat I consume. The WHO will be releasing another study on red meat early next year. As for bacon, I will still eat it, but less often, and when I do eat it, I will relish every bite!

Winners Each year, the Burnett County Lions Clubs compete in the Festival of Trees, a Christmas tree decorating contest that is part of the Christmas at the Forts celebration sponsored by the Burnett County Historical Society. The decorated trees are judged on beauty and creativity in expressing the theme of the celebration. This year’s theme, “Snow-much Fun” was challenging, but all four Lions Clubs – from Danbury, Grantsburg, Siren and Webster – were up to that challenge adorning their trees with white lights, snowflakes, white squirrels, snowmen, ice skates and sleighs. Danbury Lions Club’s winning streak came to an end this year with Siren taking the honors for best decorated tree. Siren will retain possession of the traveling trophy… at least until next year! The trees can be seen during the Christmas at the Forts celebration on Saturday, Dec. 12 at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park. The trees will then be donated to Interfaith Caregivers and delivered to the homes of four families in the county.

In the first half, after being tied at four, Frederic slowly built a 27-10 lead. Nicole Nelson, Ann Chenal, Taylor Alseth and Emily Amundson all contributed to the scorebook to take that advantage. It was then that the Tiger offense got into gear and closed the gap. Caitlyn Moser scored a bucket and was fouled on the play. She made the free throw to make it 27-13. Allison Mulroy hit two of three free throws and also one from downtown, 27-18. Lydia Wilson went to the line four times and came away with four charity tosses, 27-22.

They were down 20 and came back to make it a game.” “Our girls stuck to it, didn’t give up and a coach can’t ask for anything more than that.”

ST. CROIX FALLS—”The girls played extremely hard and were very excited to play the first game of the season,” reported Grantsburg girls basketball coach Penny Curtin following the 46-44 loss at St. Croix Falls. “The game was back and forth with no more than a five point lead for either team.” Grantsburg led 24 to 21 at the intermission.

For the game, Stoffel has high scorer with 15 for the Saints. The Pirates had two in double figures with Cassidy Lee at 11 and Olivia Tucker with 10. Jordyn McKenzie added nine with Cassidy Chenal chipping in

with six. Janessa Bonneville and Violet Ohnstad each had four. “We had some very nice floor leadership from our guards and Olivia Tucker and Rhiana Pochman led the team in rebounding,” continued the coach. “Cassidy Lee completed a very nice three point play to tie the game with just eight seconds remaining. The girls were excited and St. Croix Falls was able to pass the ball quickly and score with one second to go.” “Losses are always disappointing, but I was very proud of our effort and presence on the court.” concluded Coach Curtin.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

Gun deer season licenses, registrations up from last year MADISON–More than 600,000 deer hunters embraced the excitement of another nine-day gun deer season in Wisconsin, and preliminary numbers show an increase in both deer registration numbers and license sales through the end of the nine-day season. “I would like to thank each and every hunter for another great nine-day deer hunt — we at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources rely upon your feedback and support,” said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp. “I’ve heard some great stories from the field so far, and I want to remind hunters that opportunities remain to continue your hunt and enjoy more time with family and friends.” This year’s preliminary nine-day gun deer hunt registration figures indicate a total of 204,725 deer harvested during the nine-day season, compared to 199,583 in 2014. Since this is the first year using the GameReg system, department staff are verifying this preliminary data to make sure it is correct. It is possible that this number may change slightly following additional evaluation. “I’m pleased to see an increase in deer harvest numbers from last year,” said Bob Nack, DNR big game section chief. “Hunters experienced varying levels of success throughout the state and had an enjoyable time with family and friends.” In 2015, preliminary nine-day har-

vest numbers were collected through the GameReg system. Hunters were required to register their deer by 5 p.m. the day after harvest, as opposed to 5 p.m. the day after the nine-day season closed in years past. DNR customer service staff received positive feedback from hunters throughout the nine-day season as they learned to use the new system. Hunters who forgot to register their deer are required to do so, even if beyond the 5 p.m. daily deadline. In 2015, 612,377 gun deer licenses were sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season, compared to 608,711 in 2014. In total, 849,778 gun, archery and crossbow licenses (not including upgrades) licenses have been sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season, compared to 835,583 (not including upgrades) in 2014. Through the end of the nine-day season, 23,870 first-time hunters (or those who have not hunted in the last 10 years) have taken advantage of the first-time gun deer buyer license, compared to 17,644 archery hunters. Deer license and tag sales will continue throughout the remaining hunting seasons. DNR investigated eight hunting incidents during the nine-day gun deer season: five non-fatal (Rock, Marathon, Jackson, Polk and Manitowoc) and three

fatal (Columbia, Waushara and Marathon). The department expresses sincere condolences to the family and friends of the victims of these tragic incidents. Fortunately, the trend of hunting incidents continues to go down, Stepp said. This is a result of safer hunters, hunter education, the volunteer instructor corps and outreach efforts covering four rules of firearm safety, blaze orange clothing, and tree stand safety practices. More than 600,000 gun-deer hunting licenses were sold this season. They included non-resident, resident and mentor hunters. Eight hunting incidents resulted in 1.31 incidents per 100,000 hunters. Wisconsin’s 10-year average is 1.36 incidents per 100,000 hunters. “As long as every hunter remembers and practices the Four Firearm Safety rules, hunting can and will get safer,” said Jon King, DNR conservation warden and hunter education administrator. Hunters are reminded of additional opportunities to hunt deer in Wisconsin after the close of the nine-day season. The late archery season is open through Jan. 3, 2016. A four-day, antlerless-only hunt will take place Dec. 10-13. Any legal firearm, crossbow or archery equipment may be used during this hunt.

Lizzy

Selene had been featured before, but is still waiting for that special someone to come forward. This girl is our resident beauty, with her unusual calico markings. Selene loves her time in the office where she can run and play. However, with all that room to roam, she also plays hard to get if you want to pet or hold her. When Selene is confined to her condo, she is much more apt to let you get to know her. She has been around other kittens in the office, as well as the shelter manager’s very large dogs. Some of the staff and volunteers were just discussing how surprised they were that Selene hadn’t been adopted right away. She is quite striking! So, here’s to hoping this second article will bring Selene luck in finding a home. Lizzy is a 10-month-old, longhaired feline. Even with all that hair, she is a more petite kitty. When I opened the door to Lizzy’s condo the first time we met, I crouched down and patted my lap and she climb aboard almost immediately. From there, I held Lizzy in my arms and she was quite content at being held and snuggled. There was no struggle to get away. Lizzy was calm, cool and collected right where she was. I think anyone would be lucky to have this little gal in their life. If you are interested in adopting Selene, Lizzy, 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.

‘An Afternoon with Mark Twain’ ST. CROIX FALLS–Author and former WCCO-TV news anchor Don Shelby will be performing as Mark Twain in his one-man show, “An Afternoon with Mark Twain,” Sunday, January 24, 2016 at The Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson. Shelby is an active outdoorsman and is passionate about protecting the St. Croix River. In his play, Shelby will recount the life and times of Mark Twain on the Mississippi River. When Shelby takes the stage, after a two-hour make-up transformation, he brings alive the life of Samuel Clemens, through a collection of actual Twain quotes and stories. The words spoken on stage are Twain’s entirely—humorous, dramatic, insightful and richly evocative of a past era of our history. Shelby has performed this show for 25 years. He says his hope is that for the two hours, the audience will not see the former news anchor, but rather be “transported back in time.” All proceeds support the St. Croix River Association whose mission is to protect, restore and celebrate the St. Croix River and its watershed.

A hope for new life Isaiah 11:1: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A shoot will spring forth from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots.â&#x20AC;? Winter weather has finally found us. With it comes shorter days, bare trees, cold blustery winds, frozen ground and snow. Many are excited for the new possibilities that winter brings; skiing, snowmobiling, sledding, snowmen, warming up by the fire. For some, winter is long and difficult and we long for that first sign of spring, of new life. We are in the season of Advent. This is a season of waiting, preparing and

hoping. Often we look at it as a time to prepare for our Christmas celebrations. But it is also a time for us to be reminded of that hope we have in a life that springs out of what seemed to be dead. In Isaiah the prophet foretold of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise, to bring new life. The branch that springs out the stump is an image we can hold to, cling to. An image that reminds us that new life comes to us in a babe born in a manger. In a babe who would come to lead us to love and care for one another. A babe that would shine light into our darkness, overcoming sin and death.

Jesus is new life, Jesus is that hope we live each day. That hope we have in the promise God was, God is and God will come again. In the dark days of our lives, in the times of wondering if the light will ever shine again, we see the image of the tree. A stump cut down, seemingly dead. From it springs forth new life. May the God of new life be with you in your advent journey and may Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light shine in the darkness bringing you hope.
