Greg Marsten|Staff writer CENTURIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A high-speed, singlevehicle crash early on Saturday morning, July 26, has led to the death of the driver and also left a passenger with severe injuries.

According to the Polk County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department, the incident occurred shortly before 3 a.m. near the intersection of 160th Avenue and 200th Street, west of Centuria in the Town of St. 3UHVWRQ :LOVRQ Croix Falls.

Jean Koelz|Staff writer SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;In a closed session following the monthly Siren School Board meeting on Monday, July 28, middle and high school Principal Sarah Johnson tendered her resignation. Citing a job offer from the Spooner School District, Johnson leaves after only two years at Siren. Johnson was originally hired as the elementary principal for the 2012-13 school year and became the high school principal the following year after Peggy Ryan left for a position at St. Croix Falls.

Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure prompted immediate action by the board. According to district Administrator Scott Johnson, the board eliminated Jason Hinzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dean of

students position and made Hinze the new high school principal and athletic director. The school will post an open position for the pre-K through eighthgrade principal, and current elementary Principal Sara Towne will remain as special education director and absorb all the educator effectiveness and student assessment responsibilities that are part of the Common Core standards.

The board also voted to add a fourthgrade teaching position in order to accommodate expected enrollment.

Siren School is in the midst of transition as it has worked to reduce its overall budget in light of a failed funding referendum last April. Among the initiatives to achieve over $250,000 in savings, the board had previously voted to reduce the art and tech ed positions and eliminate a middle school teaching position, an elementary teaching position, the elementary guidance position and a part-time custodial position.

The crash remains under investigation, but alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash, as were very high speeds, possibly as high as 100 mph, according to Polk County Sheriff Peter Johnson.

Besides excessive speed and alcohol, other factors may also have contributed to the fatal crash, including possible equipment issues, such as the fact that the Pontiac had a smaller, temporary spare tire at the time. Temporary spare tires are generally not supposed to be driven at speeds over 50 mph.

In regular session, the board approved a preliminary annual budget in the amount of $6,091,775. The amount represents a balanced budget and a savings of nearly $150,000 over last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unaudited expenditures. Approximately two-thirds of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget comes from local taxes. The budget will be presented at the annual meeting to be held in the Siren School auditorium at 6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 18. The next regular school board meeting will be at 6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 25.

SCF School Board debates cell phone policies

Does confiscating phones for three days go too far?Â

Bizarre hospital escape leads to meth charges

ER patient allegations lead to felony charges

Greg Marsten |Staff writer OSCEOLA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reports of a woman acting bizarre and attempting to escape from the emergency room at the Osceola Medical Center led to later charges of methamphetamine possession for an Osceola man.

According to the Polk County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department, the incident took place shortly after midnight on Tuesday, July

22, when a woman who was admitted for unspecified reasons somehow was able to escape from treatment and was found covered in blood, sitting on the ground outside OMC, with her IV -RVK 0REHUJ still in her arm.

The police report described her condition as agitated, sayLQJ VKH ZDV WHOOLQJ WKH RIĂ&#x20AC;FHU WKDW VKH ZDV

concerned about being arrested because she had smoked meth with her boyfriend in their apartment over the past two days.

The woman was given a mental evaluation, and while she did not meet the criteria for treatment, the OMC staff created a care plan for her to make a recovery.

Police obtained a search warrant for the shared apartment and searched the residence a short time later, where they discovered Josh Moberg, 41, Osceola, inside.

He reportedly refused to open the door for police earlier, but after a search, police discovered various pieces of parapherna-

lia and a container used for methamphetamine.

Moberg was placed under arrest and charged with felony meth possession and misdemeanor paraphernalia possession. He appeared before Anderson later that day, where he set a $2,500 bond and a Sept. 15 preliminary hearing, where he will decide if enough evidence exists to move the case ahead to trial.

It was unclear if the woman at the hospital will face any charges.

Working for peace in Iraq and at home

People to people, a message of hope

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer LUCK - The U.S. should take care of its own problems and not send more armed forces to Iraq. That is the message that Sami Rasouli wants to share as he works for peace.

Rasouli, a citizen of the U.S. and of his native Iraq, feels that enough damage has been done with military intervention. He says Iraq has been disabled by years of intervention and turmoil. The county now needs real help; medical, educational, technical, to help it rebuild. Rasouli was visiting at the Anathoth Community Farm over the past weekend and talked to the Leader about his concerns.

Rasouli says that people need to connect as people and not be labeled. He feels that there the efforts to classify people and create identities is aimed at dividing people from one another, creating chaos where there could be unity and harmony.

And he says that this move to keep people divided is created by powers and nations that do not want a harmonious and prosperous Middle East. Rasouli feels new groups that spring up from nowhere, like ISIS, are created by those powers to maintain divisions among people. He DVNV ZKR EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WV ZKHQ WKH FRXQWULHV DQG the people in Iraq and the Middle East are GLYLGHG DQG Ă&#x20AC;JKWLQJ" A peacemaker must be like water, Rasouli says.

Rasouli was born in Najaf, Iraq, and came to the United States in 1984. He owned a popular restaurant, Sinbadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, in Minneapolis for many years. A visit to Iraq opened his eyes to the damage that had been done to his country. Rasouli sold his business and now uses his time trying to build understanding among people.

In Iraq, he says he helps plant trees and tries to bring people together. And back in Minnesota and Wisconsin he tries to create dialogues.

Local mans faces eight criminal charges

EAU CLAIRE - A 29-year-old Balsam Lake man faces eight criminal charges in Eau Claire County Court for allegedly hitting, choking and sexually assaulting a woman in Eau Claire.

According to the Eau Claire LeaderTelegram, Chase A. Phetteplace faces felony counts of second-degree sexual assault, false imprisonment, strangulation and suffocation and misdemeanor counts

of criminal damage to property and intimidation of a victim.

He also faces two misdemeanor counts of battery.

A $5,000 cash bail was set for Phetteplace, which prohibits him from having contact with the woman, drinking alcohol or entering taverns.

The alleged victim says Phetteplace assaulted her July 12 at a residence on Elco

Road. She said he picked her up from a bachelorette party at 11 p.m. that day and yelled and swore at her because she talked to other men at the party. She alleged he punched her arm and shoulder, slapped her face several times and put both hands around her neck and began choking her. He also grabbed a pillow and placed it on her face in an attempt to suffocate her, she said. The woman said

she eventually left the residence and went KRPH 6KH ZRNH XS WR Ă&#x20AC;QG 3KHWWHSODFH on top of her having intercourse with her.

On the North team were players from Siren, Luck, Prairie Farm, New Auburn, Northwood and Bruce. ´,W ZDV D JUHDW JDPH WR ZDWFK DQG WKH 1RUWK GHĂ&#x20AC;QLWHO\ GLG ZHOO Âľ VDLG /XFN head coach Don Kendzior, who had three athletes from Luck playing in the game, including Karsten Petersen, Connor Mc*LQQLW\ DQG /RJDQ +DPDFN 6LUHQ KDG Ă&#x20AC;YH DWKOHWHV 'DYLG 6W -RKQ -DUHG (PHU\ Triston Alden, John Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Jock and Devan Pavlicek.

The game also featured several different coaches with locals including Kendzior, who helped handle the administrative duties, while Joel Wells, Matt Dunlap and Ryan Humpal helped out along with several others. Humpal was responsible for the defensive side of the ball and proved valuable in the shutout win for the North.

It was a close game to start, with the 1RUWK OHDGLQJ DIWHU WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW TXDUWHU but from that point forward the game wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close. Kendzior said Prairie Farm quarterback Josh Siebert took the game over on several plays to keep the game rolling along while the North racked up a pair of interceptions, with one resulting in a touchdown by Hamack. Petersen also had a big catch for 30-plus yards and Emery took the helm at quarterback as well and also scored. ´,W ZDV D JUHDW H[SHULHQFH VHHLQJ WKHVH kids, that for two or three hours on a Friday night hate each other, but then come WRJHWKHU DV D WHDP Âľ .HQG]LRU VDLG ZKLFK at its core, is what the all-star games are

Practices for the athletes began a week before the game and North athletes met up in Rice Lake on a Wednesday to scrimmage together on their own. After another practice on Thursday morning, the North team headed to Wisconsin Dells to enjoy the water park.

The South also has athletes moving on to

One has a commitment to play college basketball, while the other is moving on to play baseball in college.

Eight-man football seems to be growing in popularity and in the amount of participating teams. Right now there are about 25 teams, and the hope is to have 32 by next season. The Wisconsin High School Football Association is also taking over the eight-man all-star game so that it can be hosted in Oshkosh next summer alongside the 11-man teams, which would be another boost of exposure for eight-man football.

Time to study up on upcoming deer hunting rule changes Once July turns to August and a chill kisses the evening air the fall hunting season is almost certainly right around the corner, and if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been preparing yourself for the season ahead now might be a great time to start. Thursday, Aug. 1, marks the deadline to apply for various hunting and trapping permits. So, if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet applied for fall turkey, sharp-tailed grouse, EREFDW Ă&#x20AC;VKHU RU RWWHU

Marty Seeger The Bottom Line

tags youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to do so before Aug. 1.

As deer hunters wrap up their planting of summer and fall food plots, and continue to monitor trail cameras in anticipation for the upcoming season, they also might want to take note of the changes to upcoming deer hunting regulations for the 2014 season. The changes are pretty GUDVWLF DQG DUHQ¡W WRR GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW WR XQGHUstand, but the deer management zones have changed and hunters will need to take note of it if they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already.

Burnett County is now located in the northern forest zone, and no free antlerless tags will be issued this year in the bucks only region, a welcomed change for many hunters in areas where deer QXPEHUV DUH VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQWO\ ORZHU WKDQ they are further south. However, youth ages 10-17 are issued a free junior antlerless deer carcass tag, which is valid statewide, and in buck-only units. The December antlerless only hunts have also been eliminated in Burnett County for 2014, but the two-day, Oct. 11-12 youth gun hunt will still take place in all units.

Polk County on the other hand, is located in the Central Farmland Zone, where a free antlerless tag will be issued with deer hunting licenses, except archery hunting licenses. Those who wish to shoot a doe must purchase a bonus antlerless tag where available according to unit, and land type, meaning hunters must specify public or private land. Sales of these tags will begin statewide SaturGD\ $XJ DQG ZLOO DYDLODEOH RQ D Ă&#x20AC;UVW FRPH Ă&#x20AC;UVW VHUYH XQWLO VROG RXW The addition of the new crossbow hunting season has hunters of all ages excited for the 2014 season, but some have been asking about the tag requirements that go along with it. The crossbow season runs concurrent with the regular archery season that starts Sept. 13, through Jan. 4, 2015. If you plan to use a crossbow youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to buy a crossbow license, and likewise, if you intend to go with your recurve or compound youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to buy the archery license. If you plan to mix things up a bit and use a crossbow one day, and a compound the next, you

will need to purchase both an archery tag and crossbow hunting license. Just take note that only one buck tag is allowed no matter what your weapon of choice may be.

The topic of baiting and feeding is a lengthy one, but the ban on baiting and feeding for deer still includes Burnett, Washburn, Polk and Barron counties.

There also wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any changes to how you register your deer in 2014. You will still be required to take your carcass to a registration station, but beginning in 2015, hunters will have the choice to register their deer by telephone, online or in person.

These are just a handful of the changes to the deer hunting structure for 2014 so it might be a good plan to check the local bait shop or registration station for a copy of the 2014 regulations booklet. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, the DNR website has just about everything you could want to ensure that the upcoming hunting season goes smoothly, and without any major surprises.

Permit numbers remain stable for 2014 fall turkey hunt MADISON - Fall turkey permit availability in 2014 will be equal to the number offered during the 2013 fall season.
