Burnett County’s roundabout opens BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL WRITER

A style of roadway intersection new to Burnett County opened for traffic July 23 between Siren and Webster. Drivers will now use a roundabout at the intersection of State Highways 35 and 70 near the county airport runway and Government Center north of Siren. Roundabouts are designed to keep traffic moving at busy intersections that previously had two or more stop signs. Independent traffic studies show roundabouts are effective at bringing down the severity of accidents by reducing speeds and eliminating head-on and T-bone accidents. The Highway 35-70 roundabout construction project isn’t complete, as anyone who has driven through it knows. Dozens of orange traffic cones line the lanes to funnel vehicles
through the new circle. The Highway 35-70 intersection has been targeted for improvement for many years, said Chris Ouellette, Regional Communications Manager for the DOT’s Northwest Region, headquartered in Eau Claire. “This intersection has been on WisDOT’s ‘Top Five Percent Severe Safety Needs List’ since 2013,” she said. It has been the scene of many accidents. Ouellette cited a report from the five years between 2003-2007. One fatality and 11 injuries occurred in 19 accidents. In the next four years, from 2008-12, eight more injuries occurred in 16 accidents (no fatalities). In addition to construction funding, WisDOT allocated $1.5 million more from its Safety Fund to the Burnett roundabout. “This project was driven by safety,” Ouellette said. SEE ROUNDABOUT, PAGE 6
‘Best looking crops in 10 or more years’ BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL WRITER
Timely spring and summer rains, plus recent hot weather, have helped produce ‘the best looking crops in ten or more years,” says Kevin Schoessow. Schoessow is an Agricultural Development Agent for U-Wisconsin Agricultural Research Station in Spooner. “There’s a lot of optimism out there this year,” he said. “We know it isn’t a crop until it’s in the bin, but it sure looks good.” Acknowledging that rainfall and growing conditions
vary, Schoessow reported “Many counties in our corner of the state have been averaging ‘the ideal inch of rain per week’ in May, June and July.” Regular rains have also helped bring the subsoil moisture level back up. “For many years, we have been drawing down the soil moisture, so it’s good to see it being replenished,” he said. “We like to see three to four inches of rain per month in the summer. That’s what we like to see, and that is our historical average, but it hasn’t happened in the past several years. This year, it’s almost textbook,” Schoessow said.
Rainfall measurements at the Spooner Ag station showed 3.5” in May, 4.2” in June and 3.97” in July. At the Ranger Station in Grantsburg: May 4.68”, June 2.82” and July 4.69 inches. Heat units, the method of measuring daily growing conditions, are a bit behind average, “but were catching up the final week of July with the temperatures in the high 80s,” he said. Harvest for small grains including spring and winter wheat, rye and oats will probably begin this week, he addSEE CROPS, PAGE 2

Webster School Board updates vehicles BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL WRITER
Vehicles, drivers and contracts dominated the agenda at Webster School Board July 27 meeting. Departing from its usual purchase of one new school bus each spring, the board voted to move the bus purchase up to this fall, in either August or September. “Every year we have money budgeted for transportation services,” said Supt. Jim Erickson. “We try to add one new bus each year to keep our fleet current. “One of oldest buses
had some major mechanical problems that would cost us $15-20,000 to fix. We didn’t want to do that when we could trade it for a new one, so the board moved the time-line from a May or June purchase to this fall instead.” The board contracted with Bluebird Bus Company for a 72-passenger, 2015 snub-nose bus at a price of about $92,000, minus $3-4,000 the board hopes to receive on its bus trade-in. The oldest buses in the fleet are 2005 models, Erickson said. “Our district is the seventh largest in the state, so we put a lot
of miles on our buses. We border with Superior School District to the north. We pick up students 34 miles north of Webster by Moose Junction and Douglas County M.” “We drive east to parts of Voyager Village,” he continued. “Our school district is 553 square miles. And, of course, we have kids all over it. Sometimes our buses drive 15 minutes to get to their first stop and work their way back.” Other vehicles needed replacement too. The SEE SCHOOL BOARD, PAGE 7

ed, and those crops also look excellent. Jim Melin, who operates Lucky Oats Farm on County Road O southeast of Grantsburg, agrees. “We have good moisture on the heavy ground. We could us a bit more moisture on the lighter ground,” Melin said. “I think we’re going to have real good yields on both corn and beans. The small grains are really yielding good – the wheat, the rye and the oats. The
alfalfa hay crop has been great too.” “We’ve gotten rains like we’re supposed to get rains,” he added. “Now we need just a little bit more to finish them out. Heat wise, we have been just fine. We have had enough heat. It’s been just right. This year is almost absolutely perfect.” Ag Agent Schoessow foresees above-average yields if current conditions continue. “If our average area yield for corn is 120-130 bushels, my guess is that we could see
some fields pushing 180 bushels per acre, which is wonderful. Yields go field by field, and we won’t see that county-wide. Soybeans will also be above average if weather patterns hold.” Schoessow concluded, “We need timely rains when pollination is occurring, and that’s going on right now. Things are looking good. We still have six to eight weeks to go before we make the crop, but everything is pointing in the right direction.”

Tryouts for ‘The Tree Lot’ SHELL LAKE—August 13 and 15 may seem soon to be thinking about a white Christmas, but it’s never too early to start managing one’s time for that busy season. Theatre in the Woods has announced “The Tree Lot” as its 2015 holiday play. The setting of the play is a Christmas tree lot. There, Joe, the proprietor, meets various members of his community as they come by Christmas Eve day. Will they buy a tree this year or not? Perhaps. Maybe a little magic must happen first. Characters in the play are a widow and widower, a single mom with her rebellious teenage son, a husband of few words with a wife of many, a couple using their cell phones for calling someone other than a spouse, and Officer Pete. Additionally, there are several small parts including a Salvation Army bell ringer and other non-speaking roles. Auditions on August 13 start at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. Saturday August 15 auditions will run from 9-11 a.m. Production dates are December 4, 5, 11, 12, and 13. All auditions will be held at the Erika Quam Memorial Theater, 605 First Street, Shell Lake. Carolyn Burnett will direct the play. For more information visit www.titw.org.
Webb Lake Men’s Club Carnival set WEBB LAKE—On Saturday August 8, there will be a carnival and BBQ at the Fire Hall in Webb Lake from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The carnival will include balloon darts, golf and much more.

The event is sponsored by the Webb Lake Area Men’s Club. For more information, Call Bob Wirtz (715-259-7844) or Paul Cunliffe (715-2597927).
Donate blood through the Red Cross in final weeks of summer CHIPPEWA FALLS—The American Red Cross urges blood donors to give in the final weeks of summer to help prevent a blood shortage. Blood donations often decline in August as final summer vacations are planned and
back-to-school activities ramp up. On average, during the summer months, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what is needed. Donations are needed now to help ensure blood is available for patients in need. Donors with types AB, O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially encouraged to donate. Plasma from type AB donors can be transfused to patients of any blood type, as can type O negative blood. Type B negative and A negative blood can be transfused to Rh-positive or negative patients. These are the most in demand blood types and are in constant need. Blood donation opportunites include : August 17, noon to 6 p.m. at the Grantsburg Community Center; August 18, 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Siren Covenant Church; and August 19, 1-7 p.m. at Luck Lutheran Church.

Grantsburg Chorale to present summer concert GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Chorale will be performing on Sunday, August 9, at 3 p.m. in the Grantsburg High School Auditorium. The singers are presenting a concert entitled “How Can I Keep From Singing?” which will include popular music, show and folk tunes that should be an enjoyable summer event. Approximately 35 adults and high school students have been rehearsing since June under the direction of Linda Benge, with Kari Java at the piano. The singers have worked hard on music such as medleys of music from Godspell, as well as folk songs and popular music by composers such as Dolly Parton. In addition, several singers will perform solos or small ensembles. Following the concert, there will be an ice cream social with donations accepted to cover music costs, and help provide scholarships for students when the Chorale travels.

Expertise
I
don’t know why but it took me a long time to appreciate those folks who sit on all the various boards I report on for the paper, from an occasional town board meeting and the Burnett County Board of Supervisors to all the village and school boards. I figure it is at least eight regular board meetings a month, plus committee meetings, then there are quarterly meetings for some boards, emergency meetings of others and on it goes. I’ve always admired these folks for giving of their time to participate in local government in an attempt to make life better for the Seems rest of us. Given my profession, the time facto Me tor was easily appreciable for me. However, the talent portion of the Todd Beckmann equation didn’t become apparent to me until just recently. Of course, now that I think to look for these talents amongst board members, they are as easy to see as the nose on your face. Let’s take Kelsey Gustafson. Kelsey serves as a trustee for the Webster Village Board and does his best for his fellow Websterites. But his talent for serving on the board comes from his day job as an employee of the Burnett County Highway Department. As most familiar with small town government will attest, roads are a vital aspect of the municipality and Kelsey’s expertise on the matter led to his being selected as chairman of the streets committee. Not only can he share his knowledge with those on the committee and the rest of the board, he “speaks” the same language of vendors proposing road work within the village. Or what about Chris Erickson, a long-time member of the Grantsburg School Board. As president of the local branch of US Bank, she understands the arcane language money people use as easily as I breath. Not only does she understand, her background allows her to ask the probing questions which highlight whatever proposal is being considered. And those are just two of the examples of the expertise these board members bring to their respective boards. As with any “light bulb” moment, when I finally saw what was there the whole time, there was one watershed moment that defined the talents of those who serve. That moment came as I was sitting in on a meeting between Siren school officials and the organizations that had been enlisted to help repair the school following the fire in May. Among those in attendance were school board members Jeff Howe and Dayton Daniels. Before I go any further I must explain that my construction knowledge and electrical knowledge combined could fit on a half dollar — and be worth about as much. But with these two, the restoration expert, the architect and the contractor could rattle off terms like exposed beams, hanging air handlers, amps, wattages, or anything else to do with the renovation of the school and Jeff and Dayton, as a contractor and electrician, respectively, understood exactly what was being said. The hired specialists didn’t have to soft-shoe what the renovation plan might entail to a bunch of neophytes — they were all speaking the same language. Be it town board, school board. village board or county board, we can be thankful for the expertise these board members bring with them to the table.

75 years and one gray hare
T
he federal government estimated that people born in 1940 had a life expectancy of 62.9 years. Advances in medicine have extended the life spans of many, and one celebrity, who marked his 75th birthday on July 27, is still going strong, even if his hair has always been gray. I’m referring to a childhood hero of mine, Bugs Bunny, the star of countless animated short movFrom the ies produced by Publisher’s Warner Brothers from 1930 to 1969. Desk The Loonie Tunes Tom Stangl and Merrie Melodies cartoons were produced to be short films to air before feature movies when folks would go out to the movies, long before the television became a fixture in our homes. As is the case with many cartoon characters, Bugs evolved in the first year of his career. In “Elmer’s Candid Camera,” which came out in March of 1940, the rabbit looked similar to what he would become, but the voice and laugh were decidedly different. It wasn’t until July of 1940, when a redesigned Elmer Fudd encountered the rabbit in the woods, that the familiar voice and catchphrase “What’s Up, Doc?”
were used. The cartoon “A Wild Hare” is considered the first true Bugs Bunny cartoon. During his career, six different directors, numerous animators and writers worked to bring the wise cracking rabbit to life. From 1940 – 1964, the rabbit appeared in over 150 cartoons, supplanting Porky Pig and Daffy Duck as the star of the studio. During World War II, Bugs and several of his co-stars appeared in cartoons where they fought against the Germans and the Japanese. These cartoons are rarely seen today because the racial stereotypes used in them are now considered offensive. It is interesting to note that when much of the animation was shut down in 1964 at Warner Brothers, Bugs Bunny was put into retirement, with many of the cartoons that were produced in the final five years being the Road Runner and Speedy Gonzales. I discovered Bugs Bunny via television. One of the three channels that we could get on our old black and white Zenith TV ran a half hour of Looney Tunes every weekday from 3:30 – 4 p.m. I always preferred the Bugs Bunny cartoons. I think I liked him because he didn’t mess with anyone until they bothered him first and he always seemed to be one step ahead of his victim, something a child can re-

late to, since we know that we are smarter than our parents. All three of the broadcast networks ended up running variations of the Bugs Bunny show from 1968 – 1978. These versions, which aired on Saturday mornings as well as in prime time, are now considered notorious because the violence in the cartoons was edited out, so much so that some of the gags in the cartoons no longer worked. Bugs and the Looney Tunes gang returned to the big screen 19 years ago in “Space Jam,” a combination animated and live action movie with Michael Jordan and Bill Murray, as well as other NBA stars of the day. There are rumors that a sequel to the movie may be in the works for its 20th anniversary, starring LaBron James, and of course, Bugs Bunny. If you haven’t seen a cartoon recently, do yourself a favor and check out one of these: “Hair-Raising Hare,” “The Rabbit of Seville,” or “What’s Opera, Doc?”. You may need to find a DVD to do so, but what great fun. 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.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875
The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion.

Facts are stubborn things Over the last few weeks I’ve written about the impact of the state budget and Bucks arena bill that Republicans scheduled and adopted in July. We’ve been told budget after budget, cut after cut, special interest giveaway after special interest giveaway, that working families need to sacrifice wages and services to bring jobs to the state. Working families have made those sacrifices. But the jobs haven’t come. Wisconsin has trailed the nation and every neighboring state since the GOP priorities started to take effect two budgets ago, and the gap is widening. Gov. Walker and the Republicans inherited a Wisconsin economy that was 11th nationally in private sector job creation in 2010. At the time, our state had come out of the recession with a top twenty finish in annual private job gains for five consecutive quarters. Starting in the 3rd quarter of 2011, Wisconsin fell below the national pace and hasn’t recovered. What changed? In the summer of 2011, the first of the GOP budgets took effect. In addition to steep cuts to education and health care, the troubled Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation was launched the same day that budget took effect. WEDC’s supporters promised a jobs surge in Wisconsin. Since then, Wisconsin’s economy
under GOP leadership has trailed the national pace in annual private sector job creation for 14 consecutive quarters. Wisconsin has fallen to 38th nationally in private sector job creation. Wisconsin trailed all neighboring states in private sector job gains in 2014 and over the four years of GOP control. Janet The majority party and the GovBewley ernor seem to have District 25 blinders on. When they do acknowlSenator edge the state’s economic performance on their watch, Republicans have tried to blame the national economy. The facts, however, do not back up this claim. The US economy gained 2.6 percent private sector jobs in 2014 and 9.3 percent over four years. The Wisconsin economy gained 1.5 percent private sector jobs in 2014 and 5.69 percent over four years. Had Wisconsin under GOP leadership matched the national rate we would have added 212,174 private sector jobs, 64 percent more than were gained. Wisconsinites would have the benefit of 83,019 more private sector jobs. We take a lot of pride in our neighborly competition with Minnesota.
That state, as we know, is demographically very similar to ours. Unfortunately, it has become less of a competition over the course of two GOP budgets. Wisconsin trailed neighboring Minnesota in annual private sector job gains for 15 of 16 quarters. Minnesota added 47,734 more private sector jobs than Wisconsin added under GOP control. What can we do to reverse the trend? So far this session Senate Republicans have cut the economic engine of higher education, left our public schools behind where they were in the depths of the recession, refused $360 million Medicaid dollars and cut or delayed local and state road projects. And paid for a basketball arena. There are few if any indications we will gain ground by doubling down on the policies of the previous two budgets. Building an arena in Milwaukee is not the job creation answer for Northern Wisconsin. In the private sector, leaders take responsibility and shift priorities. Results matter. Unfortunately, Wisconsin’s GOP leaders have so far refused to acknowledge the problem and shift gears. Facts are stubborn things. It is clear that the budget priorities benefiting the Governor’s presidential ambitions have not resulted in a jobs surge for Northern Wisconsin or the state as a whole.
Budget bill prioritizes Western Wisconsin projects While much of the attention during the budget process focuses on the largest portions of the state budget, such as K-12 education, medical assisSheila tance, and transHarsdorf portation, the budget bill includes a number of proviDistrict 10 sions that seek to Senator address specific state priorities around the state. I am pleased that I was able to work with legislative colleagues in our region to advance critical projects in western Wisconsin. One of the most significant projects in western Wisconsin is the construction of the new bridge crossing over the St. Croix River. As those of us that live in our area know, replacing the Stillwater Bridge is critical to meeting our infrastructure needs, addressing emergency services and safety concerns, and reducing congestion. The Stillwater Bridge, which has been in use for over 80 years, is consistently rated poorly during bridge inspections and is frequently closed for repairs, diverting traffic through other communities. It has been exciting to watch the new St. Croix Crossing rise from the river, revealing the vision of
the designers of a bridge that will meet the needs of the region as well as complement the river’s beauty. As approach work on both sides of the river advances and precast bridge decking is now being installed, this vital link is rapidly becoming a reality after decades of legal battles. I was pleased that the budget bill includes the final $20 million commitment for Wisconsin’s costs of construction, which will address the final paving of the Wisconsin approach and creation of the pedestrian and bicycle loop trail that will be constructed along the new St. Croix Crossing and old Stillwater Bridge. The state budget also includes funding for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to repair or replace the Little Falls Dam in Willow River State Park. Given its scenic beauty and convenient location for residents of western Wisconsin and the Twin Cities, Willow River State Park is one of our region’s many natural assets that generates tourism activity and supports local jobs. Additionally, Willow River is one of the top performing state parks in Wisconsin, generating nearly twice as much in revenue as is spent on the park’s operations. One of the top attractions at the park is Little Falls Lake, which is created by the Little Falls Dam. Unfortunately, inspections of the dam in recent years have indicated that significant repairs are necessary,

Wow!
MADISON—Tuesday, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced a major reorganization within the department. These changes would consolidate water and air pollution into one division while streamlining other areas. Other regulatory areas, including shoreland zoning, dam safety, wetlands protection and runoff pollution would be placed in “Business Support and External Services.” The Bureau of Science Services will also be housed under this area of the department. In the 28th Assembly District (and Northern Wisconsin in general), the DNR touches many aspects of the lives of our constituents. From hunting and fishing, to snowAdam mobiling, to issuing air and water Jarchow permits, wetlands regulation, and shoreland zoning, the DNR seems District 28 omnipresent in our lives. For that Assemblyman reason, it is critically important that the DNR provide seamless, h l f l service i helpful to property owners, sportsmen, and small business owners. These changes should help meet the important twin goals of protecting the environment while assisting property owners, sportsmen and business owners in the responsible utilization of our natural resources for recreation and job creation. This announcement comes on the heels of the DNR’s announcement last week that it would seek to streamline its environmental review process. This is also a welcome announcement for Wisconsin’s small businesses. Rep. Adam Jarchow (R-Balsam Lake) responded to the announced changes as follows: “I fully support the DNR making changes that are meant to streamline the agency, make it more user-friendly and save taxpayers money. It is not often that agencies are willing to make major changes and streamline parts of the organization, especially on their own accord. This shows great leadership and a great effort by Secretary Stepp, Deputy Secretary Thiede, and their entire team. I appreciate it and I know my constituents do as well.”

including the potential for removal and replacement of the dam. Working with Representative Dean Knudson, we were able to provide $5 million for the DNR to repair or replace the dam, along with over $3 million in funds previously approved by the State Building Commission for the project. Another provision included in the budget provides a $250,000 matching grant for the St. Croix Valley Business Incubator. This project is a collaboration that includes UW-River Falls, City of River Falls, and River Falls Economic Development Corporation that seeks to create jobs and foster an entrepreneurial culture by leveraging the commercialization of University research and capitalizing on business partnership opportunities. Recognizing the value of small businesses to growing jobs and economic development, business incubators are a powerful tool to provide support to entrepreneurs as they seek to launch their ideas into successful business ventures. I look forward to continuing to advocate for western Wisconsin in the State Senate and appreciate your suggestions on local initiatives.

Tips for safe driving through a roundabout BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL WRITER
The new traffic roundabout opened last week in Burnett County. Now, one can overhear nervous drivers of varying ages planning their trips on alternate routes around the county, all to avoid the new circular intersection at Highways 35/70, just south of the Government Center. Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm’s main advice to drivers is one word: “Relax.” “Just relax and try the roundabout. After you go through it a couple of times, it will be old hat,” he counsels. Among previous jobs, Sheriff Wilhelm drove semi truck over-the-road. He did much traveling in the Northeast. “States like Massachusetts, New York and others out east have had roundabouts for 50 or more years,” he said. “We’re just starting to catch up.” WisDOT’s Chris Ouellette agrees. She is Communications Director for the DOT’s Eau Claire office. “We find drivers new to roundabouts are wary, but when we check back with them six to eight months later, they love it.” She cited a new roundabout in rural St. Croix County. About one year ago, a roundabout replaced the four-way stop signs at the intersection of State Highways 46/64, between Deer Park and Baldwin. “The 46/64 intersection is known as Four Corners. And, like your 35/70 intersection in Burnett County, it has a very high traffic count on weekends. They see heavy tourist and cabin owner traffic on Fridays and Sundays,” Ouelette said. “Now that the roundabout has been in place for a year, we hear people say they can’t believe how much more efficiently traffic moves through it than at four-way stop.” How to drive through a roundabout—Instructions from Wisconsin DOT
1) Traffic inside a roundabout always moves in a counter-clockwise (left-
ward) direction. It’s a circle, so if you miss your turn, don’t panic. Just continue to drive around the circle until you find your exit. Exits are always a right turn. 2) As you approach the roundabout, slow down. The Burnett County roundabout speed limit is 15 mph. 3) Watch for, and obey, traffic signs. 4) As you approach the roundabout, move into the correct lane for the direction you want to travel. Pay attention to the signs and get into the correct lane for your destination. 5) Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists as you enter and exit the roundabout. 6) Look to your left for traffic already in the roundabout. They have the right of way. 7) Enter when it is safe. 8) Keep your speed low and stay in your lane. Do not change lanes within the roundabout. 9) Exit carefully to your destination. Use your right turn signal just prior to your exit, to indicate your intention to exit. Ouelette adds, “What people need to learn when it comes to a roundabout, and where we sometimes have issues, is drivers who are entering are not yielding to the traffic already within the roundabout. That’s what causes some of the minor fender-benders because drivers entering are not yielding as they should.” Roundabouts not only keep traffic flowing. They also reduced serious accidents. “We have found serious injuries and fatality rates decrease by 38 percent. Vehicle accidents become more of a property damage issue, not serious or fatal injuries.” Ouelette concludes, “Like anything in life that’s new, it takes getting used to. But, when we talk to people later on, their comments are that the roundabout works much better than they thought it was going to. They say it is sure is nice to not have to sit at a stop sign and wait for an hour while 45 cars to get through ahead of me on a Friday night to get to my cabin.”

ROUNDABOUT: New intersection FROM PAGE 1
Planning began in 2011, with public hearings and meetings that included Burnett County Highway Department, the County Highway Committee and Board of Supervisors in 2012. Construction started in spring of this year. The entire project, including landscaping, will be completed by September 18, Ouellette said. ‘We’ve had really good weather for construction this year, and all our projects in the region are on schedule.” Roundabout traffic patterns Traffic northbound from Siren on 35-70 will use the left lane of the roundabout to continue north on 35 toward Webster and Danbury.
Northbound traffic headed east on 70 toward Hertel and Spooner will also go through the roundabout, in the right lane. A planned, separate eastbound bypass lane on the south side of the roundabout was eliminated due to the state’s highway funding shortfall, Ouellette said. “The more land you acquire, the bigger and more expensive the project becomes,” she said. “The project size is all based on traffic counts.” Traffic southbound on State Hwy 35 past the Government Center will have the option of using the roundabout to head east toward Hertel and Spooner. Or, those drivers can avoid the roundabout by using a separate bypass lane on the west side of the
roundabout, to continue south into Siren, or turn west onto Airport Road. Roundabouts are the coming thing throughout Wisconsin, Ouellette said. More are in planning stage or under construction in the Northwest Wisconsin. Several have been completed in St. Croix County. “We just did two in Polk County, and also one the year before near Menards in St. Croix Falls on Highway 8,” she said. “This summer, the DOT is building the fi rst roundabout in Douglas County too. It’s in Superior, at the foot of the Bong Bridge. It will open this fall. Turtle Lake will get a series of roundabouts in the 2017 construction season,” she said.
Luck Fire and Rescue volunteers at Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity LUCK—On Saturday July 25, one of the hottest days of this summer, the dedicated men and women of the Luck Fire and Rescue Department went above and beyond the call of duty. The men reported for duty at 8 a.m. and by noon the roof on the Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity home that is being completed for the Brian Sandager family was professionally installed. Normally you think of a local volunteer Fire and Rescue department coming for an emergency or rescue, but not on this day. They were coming to help their neighbor in need in another way. Being vigilante about their job and being on call, the fire truck was on standby in case there help was needed elsewhere, but thankfully they were able to focus on the task at hand and get it
done before the afternoon heat became too strong. While the men were putting down the shingles, the rest of the family was home preparing a delicious noon lunch and like in any other fire house settings, there was lots of delicious food served. When asked about their day of service I was told of many other like projects that they complete in the neighborhood each year. They were truly a great group of dedicated guys and very willing to serve their community in any way they can. Join them at their Corn Feed on August 8 and be sure to thank them for their service. Local volunteer fire and rescue services are priceless commodities that we can’t live without.

Movie judges sought PINE CITY, Minn.— The Highway 61 Film Festival is once again looking for a few good judges. “We’ve had over 1,000 movies submitted to us this year, and we’re looking to send the very best ones to our judges,� said Sara Maki, a director of the annual Pine City, Minnesota event. “If you love movies, you’ll love this job.� Volunteer judges for the Highway 61 Film Festival can pick one or more categories of films: Drama Feature or Short, Animation Feature or Short, Documentary Feature or Short, Comedy Feature or Short, Action/Horror Feature or Short and Student Short. Judges picking a short film category will be asked to watch 10-12 short films (each under 40 minutes), while those picking a feature film category will be asked to watch up to four fulllength films. “You’re going to see films from all over the world,� said Maki. “We’ve had great local and Minnesota movies come in, hundreds from around the United States, and amazing entries from 65 other countries too.� Anyone interested in being a judge for the festival will need a computer and a good internet connection, since access to the films is only available online. Judges will receive access to
SCHOOL BOARD: Vehicle updates FROM PAGE 2
the films on July 31, and then have until Aug. 10 to watch them and rank them from favorite to least favorite. “In the past, some people watch the films by themselves, but some make it a party and invite friends,� Maki said. “The only real rule is you watch all the selections submitted to you and rank them as best as you possibly can – and send in your rankings by Aug. 10.� Judges will receive a $20 all-access weekend pass and five $5 free passes to the Pine City festival to bring their friends along for the festival on Oct. 2-4. “Our volunteer judges were exceptional last year,� Maki said. “We can’t wait for our return-
ing and new judges – and for everyone else in the area — to get a chance to see these fantastic movies!� Those interested in helping judge films for the Highway 61 Film Festival, or who want more information, are asked to email highway61filmfestival@gmail.com saying why they are interested in becoming a judge, any qualifications they might have, and naming a few of their favorite films. This is the fifth year of the Highway 61 Film Festival, and promises to be the biggest and best yet. The festival is sponsored by Pine Center for the Arts, Pine Technical College, Pine City’s Pizza Pub and the Pine City Pioneer.
board accepted bids to trade in the seven-passenger school van for a 2015 Dodge Caravan from Bernard’s of New Richmond. It also approved a bid from Johnson Motors of St. Croix Falls to trade in the school’s 1997 pickup for a 2015 Chevrolet pickup. The school uses the truck for food service, hauling breakfast and lunch prepared at the high school to the elementary school. Three bus routes will have new drivers this fall. The board accepted resignations from school bus driver Brenda Heinz and Greg Johnson. Due to another recent bus driver retirement, the board had a slate of driver resumes available. It went into executive session to discuss hiring. When it resumed the open meeting, the board voted to hire David Streit, Lisa Sigfrids, and John Jensen as WHS bus drivers. All have previous bus driving experience. It approved hiring Tamra Smith as elementary school secretary, and hired Travis Pyke as high school English teacher. Pyke is a recent graduate of UW-River Falls. He graduated from
high school at Frederic, where his father, Bob Pyke, also teaches English. July is the board’s month for reviewing and renewing annual contracts, as follows: -Annual Audit with Stotz and Co. of Grantsburg. -Student insurance with Student Assurance Services. -WIAA membership to participate in sanctioned high school sports. - Health insurance for school staff, faculty and administrators through Health Partners. The board was pleased to see a cost reduction in its health insurance contact renewal. The cost of premiums will drop by 4 percent compared to the 201415 school year. “We are keeping the same health insurance package and same coverages as last year. It just costs four percent less this year,� said Erickson. “We will share the cost savings with the staff, just as we share cost increases.� The board voted to raise school lunch prices by a nickel. For Kindergarten through sixth grade, lunch price is now $1.85. For grades 7-12, lunch price is now $2.05. Adults is $2.95. Breakfast is $1 for everyone.

We’re glad to see that many of our friends from the park have returned. We miss them when they have to pull out during Watercross. But so enjoy when they return. There were many events going on this past weekend attended by many of us. Weddings, reunions, retirement parties and a special Happy 50th Anniversary to Myron and Lois Carlson. Thank You! Dick Erickson for making the sign for the rear of our building. This helped to fi nish our building identification project. The address numbers and a sign placed on the rear entrance helps delivery trucks to fi nd us easier. (Take a drive and check us out!) “Thank You” Noriko and Jim Katzmark’s for all the plants we used for a quick fund raiser! I just love perennials in my flower gardens! And I know many others took advantage of them too! Also we have to say “Thanks, Elaine Engberg” for the donation of two Afghans and to friends who contributed by their monetary donation of them, Darlene S. and Rosella S. Enjoy them; they’ll keep you warm. Don’t forget our Vintage Entertainment Wall, the “Book Nook”! Or just stop by to say “Hi,” and enjoy a goody and coffee.

We are grateful for the food that sustains us, for flags, banners and signs, for lovely plants and flowers, telling us of the community’s deep caring. We wish to thank the people of our generous high school, our local American Legion, The Burnett County Sheriff’s Department, The Minnesota and Wisconsin Patriot Guards, and Carson’s Brothers-In-Arms, the U.S. Marine Corps, who guarded and guided us steadfastly through this time of honoring him and remembering. We deeply appreciate the visits of Governor Walker and other elected officials who paused in their busy schedules to join us in our day of solemn remembrance. And how dearly we thank all of you, friends and neighbors, who came to stand in the sun and warmth of a Wisconsin summer day to join your sorrow with ours, and those who paused elsewhere to uphold us with your prayers and your tears. We will never forget. Blessed be Carson’s Memory. Semper Fi!

Bump’s Lakeside Bar The New
WEBSTER—It was like being tossed from the frying pan into the fire when Pastor Eddie Crise, the new pastor at Grace United Methodist Church in Webster, had to officiate at a funeral his first week on the job. Not only was it his first week in Webster, it was his first week as a pastor Typically, in the United Methodist Church, it is customary for a new pastor not to have to preach for the first couple of weeks — they are encouraged to listen, learn and become somewhat comfortable in their new surroundings before being thrust behind the pulpit. “Outside of the funeral, my first Sunday was July 12,” Crise said with a laugh. “It’s been exciting — there’s been a lot of learning and a lot of listening.” Crise is assuming the role of senior pastor for the four-church charge of Grace, Danbury, Siren and Lewis United Methodist Churches after Gil White retired at the end of June. Crise said he has seen a warm welcome. “The four churches have helped getting the parsonage ready, members of the congregations have brought us food, they have given us gift cards and suggested places we might enjoy — it’s really been great,” he exclaimed. Pastor Eddie, in addition to being commissioned as a new pastor, is also a newlywed. “It’s been a very busy time,” Crise said deprecatingly. “Between graduation from seminary, getting married, going on a honeymoon, getting packed to move here, the commissioning service — it’s been a wild ride.” The four-church charge does create a unique opportunity to the two pastors trying to lead their congregations. “One week Pastor Tom (associate Pastor Tom Cook) will preach at two churches and I’ll preach at the other two,” Crise noted. “The following Sunday, we’ll switch.” It’s unusual in the fact he doesn’t see every member of his congregation each week but he has a remedy he’d like to try to subvert the problem. “I’m considering starting some ‘public’ office hours,” he mused. “For instance, I might be at Fresh Start Coffee Roasters so people, either church members or community members, can drop in and visit.” As far as other plans for the church, Crise has a ‘hands-off’ approach. “I’d really like the goals and vision for the church to come from the congregants,” he noted. “Even though I’m getting a sense of what they value here, I’m still

listening to and learning from the congregation.” “I want each church to be its true self — to listen to what God is calling them to do,” he added. Crise said it was camps that he worked at as well as the campus ministry where he felt the call to serve. “I started to take on leadership roles in the Wesley Foundation at the University of Iowa, which is where I majored in Spanish as an undergraduate,” he explained. He wasn’t sold on it right away but it didn’t take long. “I found that community to be very engaging, very interesting and very intellectual but also caring for people,” Crise continued. He also served as a peer minister while at Iowa. “I guess I always knew I wanted to be involved in the church by means of volunteering time to the church,” he pointed out. “But college was really the opportunity where I felt called — it was like God was saying, ‘Yes, you can do this.’” So strong was that calling that he pursued a Masters degree in Divinity at Garrett Evangeli-
cal in Evanston, Illinois. He knows he made the right call. “I’ve always felt the relationships a church offers is important — especially in light of today’s technology,” Crise re-
Eddie Crise
marked. “Where technology offers the ability of such non-personal communication, it’s great to be in a church and be surrounded by a community of people who know you well.” Pastor Eddie’s wife, Katie, will be working as an elementary special education teacher in Frederic. In his time away from church, Crise said he enjoys reading for pleasure, watching sports (he’s an avid Packer fan), biking and camping — although he’s the first to admit Katie is the camper in the family.
Welcoming the da Vinci surgical system ST. CROIX FALLS— The Surgery Center at SCRMC just welcomed the arrival of a da Vinci Si HD Surgical System, an advanced robotic surgery system that allows our surgeons to perform more complex minimally invasive procedures such as prostatectomy (prostate removal), hysterectomy (uterus removal), different lower and upper gastrointestinal surgery, and hernia repair. The da Vinci Si Surgical System integrates robotic technology to virtually extend the surgeon’s eyes and hands. Using the system, the surgeon operates while seated at a console positioned a few feet away from the patient but in the same room by viewing a 3-D image of the surgical area. The system mimics the surgeon’s hand movements in real time, on a smaller scale, within the operating site in the patient’s body. The da Vinci Surgery is a form of minimally
invasive (laparoscopic) surgery. With da Vinci Surgery, the cuts (incisions) made by the surgeon are much smaller than the cut made during open surgery. Studies of da Vinci Surgery have shown the following ben-
efits in comparison to open surgery: shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, fewer complications, less need for narcotic pain medicines, smaller incisions (meaning less scarring), and faster recovery.
“Patients will be able to have the latest in surgical technology without having to travel great distances to take advantage of the minimally invasive da Vinci surgical option,” said Dr. Claudio Nunes, General Surgeon and Chief of Surgery for St. Croix Regional Medical Center. “Da Vinci technology means that we’re able to meet our ultimate goals: to promote the best outcomes for our patients by using the latest minimally invasive technology to get them back to their lives faster.” To see this latest technology for yourself and even have a chance to experience the da Vinci Surgical System hands on, join us on August 13 from 5-7 at the Lindstrom Clinic during Women’s Night Out or on August 18 from 5-7 at the St. Croix Regional Medical Center hospital entrance.

GRANTSBURG—Even though the temperatures don’t show it, nor is there a massive quietness around the house indicating students are at school, there is action taking place on the gridiron practice fields around area schools.

WILD Women Workshop: Firearm Safety at Crex Meadows Wildlife Area GR A N T S BU RG —Women 18 or older can take part in a unique outdoor experience that introduces them to basic firearm safety, handling, and target shooting during an upcoming workshop at Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area. WILD Women Workshop: Firearm Safety will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, August 8. The workshop will be facilitated by Department of Natural Resources staff
with the goal of providing an atmosphere where women feel comfortable learning new skills associated with outdoor activities. The workshop will offer hands-on instruction in a relaxed and non-threatening learning environment. The WILD Women program series helps women grow and become more competent in outdoor activities by offering classes in an encouraging, supportive, and non-competitive learning

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
Julia is an all-black, teeny weeny kitten. She is too little to be all alone and she is very vocal about her situation. Julia LOVES to be handled and will climb to your shoulder and circle around your neck, while purring into your ear. She is really hard to resist because she is just that cute (and demanding with her cries). I’ve been told that black cats are last to be adopted, but I cannot believe that! Julia really needs to find a home
Julia
been missing from her Momma and litter mates. “Just one look and I fell so hard …” I’ve featured Milo before and the good news is that he was quickly adopted because of his very laidback personality and the fact that he was declawed in the front. The bad news is that the pre-existing cat in the home did not welcome Milo with open paws and, therefore, Milo had to be returned. This mellow fellow is

t the poster-child for an e easy-going kitty. Milo is a gentle giant who loves a attention, lets you carry h him around, and will just l lounge around as long a he is near enough to as k keep an eye on you. He i a shelter favorite and is t one I’d adopt today, if the I didn’t already have my q quota on animals. Speaking of cats, we h have recently been i inundated with felines. So much so that we’ve had to put two cats to a cage. Luckily, many came in together so made good roommates. I had the privilege of meeting these cats and can tell you that they come in an array of shapes and colors. One thing they all seem to have in common is that they are extremely
friendly cats. I will write more on each of them in future articles, but don’t wait for me; stop by the shelter to meet the cat of your dreams! Spread the word to cat lovers that the HSBC is the place to go for your adoption. (P.S. We have some great dogs too!) If you are interested in adopting Julia, Milo, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty. org or contact the shelter at 715-866-4096.

Early Childhood Screening Grantsburg Elementary School is currently putting together a screening for three and four year old children in the Grantsburg School District. The screening will take place on August 11th at Nelson School. The students who will be screened are those that will turn four between September 1, 2015 and February 28, 2016. The screening is designed to be the first step of formal communication between the school and your child. The screening will last about an hour and culminate with a brief exit interview conducted by our principal, Elizabeth Olson and our school psychologist, Beth DeVilla. At that time you will be able to ask any questions you might have about the school or your child’s development. We understand you are very busy, but we hope you can attend the screening with your child. If your child was born between September 1, 2011 and February 28, 2012, please call the Elementary School at 715-463-2320 to schedule a time for your child’s screening. Thank you.

A port in any storm Pastor Brad Moore Grace Baptist Church
A little over a month ago a brief, but severe storm rolled through Grantsburg. It only lasted about a half hour but during that time we experienced intense winds, driving rain and hail. Fortunately, I was safely inside with my wife and one year old granddaughter. I thought it might be good to let her see the storm up close so I scooped up my granddaughter and I opened the door to get a good look. Sheltered by an overhang and part of a building and safely in my arms, she reached

knowing with assurance He is with us. The key for us is not to be caught off guard, exposed and vulnerable to the storms. Sometimes we mistakenly wait for difficulties and trials to come and then seek Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help. But God desires for us to always be underneath His shelter and protection. The Bible describes it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;abidingâ&#x20AC;? in Him. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make sure we are daily spending time with Jesus, abiding with Him, safely shielded and secure no matter the storm. There is no place I would rather be when storms arise.

Summerfest fun in Siren
STACY COY | SENTINEL
Folks took advantage of the beautiful weather over the weekend and came out in numbers to enjoy all the festivities Siren had to offer at their annual Summerfest celebration. Above, 4-year old Sawyer enjoys the last bite of ribs from her dad at Crooked Lake Park.
STACY COY | SENTINEL
Shoppers of all ages enjoyed looking through the racks of clothing deals at Peggy’s Fashion Rack’s sidewalk sales (above). Flea Market finds, from wind chimes (far left) to tire mats (lower left) overflowed, while car enthusiasts checked out engines and paint jobs at the annual car show on Main Street (left).
STACY COY | SENTINEL
Corn on the cob was a big hit at Crooked Lake Park (above), and the Chattering Squirrel’s annual Pie Eating Contest is always a crowd favorite (below) with Ben Fox, Noah Olinger and Adam Weihe eating their way to victory in their age groups.
