Fiedler closing doors after serving community for decades JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG––“It’s been a great 40-year run. We’ve enjoyed all our customers over those years,” Jerry Fiedler said. Fiedler Ford has been a staple of Burnett County since they opened their doors.

Fiedler Ford announced they were closing last week in a Facebook post catching many by surprise.

“With great sadness we want you all to know that today is our last day in business. It’s been a great business to be in and we would have loved to stay open, but (it’s) just not in the cards,” the online post stated. “We will be selling all of our used car inventory as we finalize things. Thank you for being so good to Fiedler Ford and the Fiedler family over the years.”

Fiedler took over the dealer-

ship at 204 E. Madison Ave in Grantsburg on June 1, 1977. He moved to Grantsburg with his family in the late 1970s.

“The building was built and

[the previous owners] moved in Jan. 15, 1921,” Fiedler told the Sentinel in 2017. “It’s been a Ford dealership since day one.”

Fiedler Ford was the only

new car dealership in the county. He also ran his annual car show during Big Gust Days that began on June 16, 1987, with 22 cars.

Both sides heard on issue of motorized use on Gandy year-round Last week there was a lot of citizen input on both sides of the aisle on the topic of opening up the Gandy Dancer Trail to motorized use year-round.

Currently, the trail is open to motorized use in the winter and open to quiet or silent sports in the summer.

The newly formed Friends of the Gandy Dancer State Trail has been out in full force. Siren resident and business owner Karen Howe has been attending a number of meetings explaining that she is not against ATVs, UTVs, or their riders. She is against the noise it would bring to her home and motorized use potentially alienating the quiet sports users who use the path during the summer.

Kris Peterson and Mark Pettis brought the issue to the Siren Village Board in January. Earli-

Kris Peterson gave a presentation to the County Board on the positives of allowing motorized use on the trail.

er this month the Siren Village Board passed a resolution showing support for opening the trail with an amendment saying vehicles

cannot be wider than 50 inches.

“That will eliminate the possibility of those bigger UTVs on trails with those big engines,” Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers told the Sentinel last week.

Last Wednesday the Board of Supervisors committee of the whole meeting was packed with people on both sides. They even had to add seats outside the room to accommodate everyone.

Peterson was on the agenda to give a presentation on opening the trail to motorized use and he brought Wisconsin ATV/UTV Association (WATVA) Treasurer Greg Olson and Villas County Chairman Ronald De Bruyne.

Olson also serves as Northwest Regional coordinator for the group, where he represents about SEE GANDY DANCER, PAGE 2

Expert wound care, faster healing

“I had a couple of old cars of my own and my son Kraig mentioned that maybe we should start a car show for Big Gust Days,” Fiedler said in 2012.

Jerry and Kraig were handling the car show until it ballooned to almost 200 vehicles participating and expanded to include antique tractors and motorcycles.

In June 2017 Fiedler celebrated what they called their “150th Anniversary.” 40 years in business, 30 years hosting his car show and his 80th birthday all in the same year.

When asked about the sudden closing Fiedler declined to give any further comment.

“I’m 81 years old. I think it’s time to step away and try and relax,” Fiedler said. “We sure will miss all of our customers.

They have been really great to us over the years.”

One dead in three vehicle accident in Oakland JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––A 66-year-old man was killed in a three-vehicle accident on Saturday afternoon in the Town of Oakland, according to the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office.

Paul W. Hinds was pronounced dead on the scene after a minivan traveling south on State Road 35 crossed the centerline and struck his vehicle, which was traveling northbound on the road.

The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office released a statement Sunday night saying the crash occurred Saturday afternoon at 4:38 p.m. The minivan, driven by Karlynda K. Jones, 27, continued south and struck a second vehicle driven by James P. Grants, 55, with a juvenile passenger also in the vehicle.

All three were transported to Burnett Medical Center for treatment for their injuries.

The Sheriff’s office said the incident is still under investigation.

Citizens listened intently as a presentation was made on the positives of opening the Gandy Dancer Trail to year-round motorized use. Overflow chairs were even set up in the hallway.

GANDY DANCER: County Chair - there is “currently no momentum” to open trail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

60 clubs.

County Chairman Don Taylor told the crowd that the board was not making any decision or voting on anything regarding the Gandy Dancer Trail at that meeting. He explained they were simply hearing a presentation about the trail.

Taylor said after the meeting there were no board members that have shown any interest in moving forward with opening the trail.

“It would have to start in the Natural Resources committee and they have not done anything to show they were willing to move forward with the lengthy process of opening the trail,” Taylor said.

That process would include public hearings and changing the master plan for the trail.

After the meeting Taylor invited any public comments and they heard from a number of people.

People against opening the trail said they have concerns over safety if bikes, walkers, and ATVs are allowed on the trail at the same time.

One comment was that they did not want to end up where Polk County is

and called their situation “a hot mess.”

Polk County is in a similar position and is considering opening the Gandy Dancer Trail to motorized use yearround.

Another person said there is no other place like the Gandy in the county and they did not want to walk the trail having to “constantly look over my shoulder thinking an ATV might be coming.”

“It’s not all about money, it can’t always be about money,” Karen Walker of Danbury said. She added she enjoys riding her UTV, but also said she has spent a lot of time picking up trash, like beer cans, on the trail.

Ron Gray, President of the Turf and Tundra ATV club, said that since 2002 he has witnessed a lot of ATV/UTV riders in the area, about one or two percent leave beer cans and he characterized them as “problem riders”.

Peterson, Olson and De Buryne brought an economic impact study done by UW-Extension that looked at ATV/UTV trends in Jackson County primarily in the Black River Falls area.

Olson addressed some of the concerns of silent sports users. He said there is a 10 mph speed limit for ATVs

when approaching pedestrians. In Siren there is already a 10 mph speed limit for motorized vehicles on the trail within the village. Olson also said that ATV riders do not like riding for long distances on blacktop because it wears out their tires.

“This is like comparing apples and oranges,” County Chair Don Taylor said of the study.

“Then why are we even looking at this if it’s so different from what we’re dealing with here,” Supervisor Gene Olson asked.

Peterson continued by making the point that the economic impact of allowing motorized use on the trail would be very beneficial to the county as a whole.

“All businesses would benefit from opening the trail to all users yearround,” he said.

Maria Rosenthal of Rosenthal Resort in Danbury said her business gets more calls about ATV trails than anything else.

“Opening up the Gandy to ATVs would help all businesses stay viable in the area,” Rosenthal said.

Peterson added, “we are looking to get the process started.”

That process would be a long one

according to Chairman Taylor. He said it would include public hearings and a change to the planned use of the trail.

That evening a smaller group of representatives made the same points to the Webster Village Board at their monthly meeting.

Nancy Moe said keeping the trail open exclusively to quiet sports in the summer is critical to maintaining the quality of life people expect in Burnett County.

The Friends of the Gandy Dancer State Trail made it clear at both meetings they do not want to be forgotten at the last moment when a vote is made.

Petterson said the ATV clubs would pay for a fence along the trail to better protect the public.

It was brought up earlier in the day that there was not much bike traffic on the trail. Bill Summer of Webster Cog and Sprocket said he sold $2,000 in bike passes last year.

The Webster board did not take any action on the trail and many of the trustees said they have a lot of questions and will let the County Board make the decision.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

AG asks governor for more crime lab analysts in budget MADISON — Wisconsin’s attorney general has asked Gov. Tony Evers to include money to hire more crime lab analysts and boost their salaries in his executive budget in the wake of a scathing report on delays in testing evidence.

Josh Kaul said in an interview last Thursday that he asked for more digital forensic specialists — technicians who specialize in scouring electronic devices for evidence — in hopes of freeing up analysts to actually analyze evidence. He asked for more ballistics experts and more technicians for collecting evidence from crime scenes and assisting in the labs. He also asked Evers to sign off on a new pay progression plan for lab employees.

Kaul declined to elaborate on the specifics of the requests, saying he wants to see what Evers includes in the budget. The

governor is set to release his twoyear spending plan on Feb. 28.

The Republican-controlled Legislature will revise the proposal before shipping it back to Evers, who can use his partial veto powers to reshape the budget to his liking. The process typically takes several months and could run even longer this year as Evers, a Democrat, faces off with the GOP over spending priorities.

Testing delays have plagued the labs for years as police submit more evidence in hopes of developing suspect DNA profiles and other leads. Turnaround times for DNA, firearm, tool mark, and drug tests have grown dramatically since the beginning of 2015.

A review of Wisconsin crime lab operations that Florida International University’s National Forensic Science Technology Center released in September

found the labs suffer from multiple problems, including poor morale, below-market pay, and accepting too much evidence from police.

The review also found entry-level analysts are making more than senior analysts because the market rate for their positions is outpacing salary increases for the more experienced workers, shredding morale.

Lab administrators’ pay is so low they are constantly looking for jobs elsewhere. Employee turnover has become such an issue that the labs are in a constant state of training, which pulls analysts off coursework, the report said.

Kaul campaigned on speeding up work at the labs, accusing his predecessor, Republican Brad Schimel, of mismanaging lab operations.

Evers to propose decriminalizing recreational marijuana MADISON — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers will propose decriminalizing marijuana in his plan for the next state budget.

The Wisconsin State Journal reports Evers will also propose legalizing marijuana for medical conditions including cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder, and chronic pain.

Under the proposal, people with previous convictions for possessing small amounts of marijuana could have their records expunged.

The proposal will also allow possession and use of a marijuana derivative used to treat seizures — CBD oil — without a doctor’s certification.

Evers will release his proposed budget on Feb. 28.

The new Democratic governor previously advocated decriminalizing marijuana but didn’t give details.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald has said he opposes medical marijuana and is not sure such a law could pass the chamber.

Correction

In the Feb. 6 edition of the Sentinel the story “Grantsburg dealt with multiple water main breaks during cold stretch” said the frost was three to four inches deep and that the villages water laterals were seven inches deep. That should have said feet instead of inches.

The Sentinel staff apologizes and regrets the error.

FEBRUARY 20, 2019

Radio can be king It is zero degrees outside and you still have to go to work. So, after lumbering outside you start the car and let it sit for about 10 minutes before the morning commute. During that time, you sit inside dreading the day, especially if it is a Friday.

Friday, the most sacred day of the week. Right before the wonderful weekend starts. Only a couple of hours separate you from relaxing and enjoying the weekend. But first work.

That was my thought process last Friday as I went into my garage. The Buick took some time, but it eventually turned over and roared as it started. I pulled out of the garage to make sure I didn’t get carbon monoxide poisoning and went back inside to warm up my bones for 10 minutes.

I went back outside and prepared myself for the monotonous drive from Siren to Grantsburg, a straight shot almost entirely on Sentinel Highway 70.

Once I ‘m in the car I have a Editor decision to make. Do I listen to a Jonathan Richie podcast or do I risk it and turn on the radio? I went with the radio and it made all the difference in the world.

As I pull out of the driveway, I turn on (my new favorite station) 95GMO out of Spooner. The first song I hear is “Hollywood Nights” by Bob Segar & the Silver Bullet Band. This turned out to be the beginning of an amazing set the station played for me, yes, they did it purposely for me, on that cold Friday morning.

I’m not ashamed to admit it, I am not a great singer but in my car, I really belt it out. So, I’m singing along with Bob and everything is great. Now, I have been around long enough to know that after a great song radio stations either follow it up with a song I do not like, or they go to commercial.

But not this time.

95GMO follows that with the classic from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – “Woodstock.” Originally written by Joni Mitchell and I am not exactly sure what she is talking about - probably some weird hippie stuff - when she wrote, “We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion-year-old carbon.” (It has something to do with science and the big bang) But I love the song and enjoyed it immensely.

“Well, now they are absolutely going to commercial or they are going to play some yacht rock song next,” I said aloud to myself.

Wrong again.

The opening chords to “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”

by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers came through over the speakers and I could not have been happier. That was truly icing on the cake of my morning commute.

As I headed toward downtown Grantsburg “Little Red Corvette” by Prince began and I was at the office.

It was a great start to my Friday and now my expectations are absurdly high whenever I turn on the radio.

A steep descent Can I tell you something? I’m a fairly obtuse person.

When I was young and growing up in a home that couldn’t have a dog (long story for another time), I heard friends going on about how smart and cool their dogs were, I thought “Yeah, right I get it, your dog is cool. Shut up already.”

When I got my first dog, I understood what they were going on and on about. I’ve had six dogs in life, I’m a fan.

When I was married, I heard friends and co-workers going on and From the on about their babies, I thought “Yeah Publisher’s right, I get it, you baby is cute. So Desk what? Shut up already.”

At the birth of my first child, I felt as Tom Stangl if a thunderbolt from heaven struck me as I realized why I was put on the planet. I get it. My two daughters are the joy of my life.

When friends were having grandchildren and going on an on about them, I understood that babies were cool, but come on. What could possibly make a grandchild better?

When our first granddaughter was born, I thought “Tom, when are you going to learn? People don’t go on and on about things unless they truly believe they are special.”

I had a minister who was really into genealogy. He had tirelessly traced his lineage back to Norway, back in the days before the Internet when it was really hard work to do genealogy. He used to go on and on about his ancestors and when he found out he was related to royalty, there was truly no living with the man.

Honestly, who cares about people who have been dead 600 years? When he would go on about being descended from royalty, his wife would deflate his ego quickly by saying “and look how far you’ve descended.”

She had a great Norwegian deadpan delivery, which made it more funny.

I’d like to officially apologize to Walter “Bud” Enstrom for rolling my eyes when he went on and on about being related to royalty from Europe in the Middle Ages.

I get it now that I have learned that I, Thomas of House Stangl, First of his Name, am descended from European royalty.

True story, and I’m ok if you stop reading or roll your eyes. Been there, get it.

After getting my DNA results from Ancestry.com, I bought the six month trial. Thanks to the earlier efforts of extended family, I have been able to trace family lines back as far as 23 generations. The Ancestry platform makes it pretty easy, giving you hints and access to other family trees.

So, genealogy is an ever expanding web. You had two parents, each of your parents had two parents and so on. I think it must be pretty easy to be descended from someone famous, if you go back far enough.

I have learned that my 21st great grandfather is Robert Bruce, King of Scotland. Bruce gained independence for Scotland that was soon lost after his death.

Stranger yet is that my wife, who is also doing genealogy, is related to the second wife of Robert Bruce.

Cool. After doing more research, I discovered that my 23rd great grandfather in another line is Edward I “Longshanks,” King of England. Edward took the Scottish crown for his own and fought Robert Bruce.

If you have some time, I would recommend genealogy. Online tools make it fun and easy.

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. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

Rep. Magnafici reflects on her first month in office

MADISON – On January 7th, I was sworn in as the State Representative for Wisconsin’s 28th Assembly District.

The first 30 days of the 2019-2021 legislative session are behind us, and I’ve been honored to work for my hometown district for the past few weeks. Although there is a lot of work ahead, I’m proud of Gae what we have accomso far.

CAPITOL REPORT

GOP attorney’s rate almost double Evers’ in lame-duck suits Republican lawmakers have agreed to pay the former solicitor general $500 per hour to represent them in two suits challenging the lame-duck laws, nearly double the rate Gov. Tony Evers is paying his private attorneys in those cases.

The GOP contracts, provided to WisPolitics.com through an open records request, also don’t cap the overall cost for Misha Tseytlin, who served under GOP Attorney General Brad Schimel, in the cases.

Meanwhile, taxpayers are on the hook for up to $100,000 to cover the cost of Madison law firm Pines Bach to represent Evers in the two suits. Each contract calls for a rate of $275 per hour for the attorneys representing the new governor. There’s also a cap of $50,000, though the ceiling could be amended under each document “if litigation requires additional resources.”

Evers spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff slammed the disparity in rates.

“Republicans won’t pay for a middle-class tax cut but they’re willing to spend unlimited money defending their attempts to override the will of the people,” she said Feb. 8.

Both Evers and GOP lawmakers hired private attorneys for representation in two recent lawsuits challenging the December extraordinary session: one from a coalition of groups that say the lame-duck laws are unconstitutional because they stemmed from an unlawful legislative session; and the latest from five unions and state Sen. Janet Bewley that argues

the laws violate the state Constitution’s separation of powers clause.

Tseytlin in the GOP contracts notes the $500 hourly rate he’s charging “is less than my standard hourly rate.” The document shows Tseytlin will be Republicans’ primary attorney in the case, but he may assign other attorneys work on aspects of the case, though the contract says none would make more than $500 hourly. Tseytlin has joined Chicago-based firm Troutman Sanders, according to the documents.

In a separate letter, sent to Vos and Senate President Roger Roth on Jan. 16, Tseytlin wrote if the Legislature prevails in the case brought by the League of Women Voters and other groups, he would seek to recover the full fees the Legislature would have incurred “had I charged the fees typically charged to commercial clients.” The Legislature would then remit to Tseytlin the full amount of any fees awarded, the letter said.

That language was not included in either of the two contracts.

The state is also on the hook for out-of-pocket expenses, such as printing, photocopying, travel costs and more, per the contracts. Tseytlin’s firm will send the Legislature monthly invoices to cover the costs incurred, the documents said.

The latest contract between Evers and Pines Bach was provided to WisPolitics.com by the governor’s office. That contract, in response to the suit brought by the unions, comes after Evers hired the firm to

represent him in the earlier lame-duck case brought by the League of Women Voters and other groups.

Baldauff, the Evers spokeswoman, said the office’s decision to retain Pines Bach comes from the “overlapping issues” in both cases that would make it “more cost effective” to hire the same firm for each suit. She also pointed to the firm’s “expertise in state constitutional law issues.”

Evers has also assigned private attorneys to represent the Elections Commission in the League of Women Voters suit, at a cost of up to $50,000. The commission had requested representation from the Department of Justice, but the agency notified the commission it couldn’t provide representation due to a conflict. The terms of its contract are similar to the ones signed by the governor’s office.

Former Deputy Attorney General Dan Bach, who served under Dem Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager, and two colleagues at Lawton & Cates will represent the commission. The terms of the contract, which call for the firm to make up to $50,000, are similar to one the governor’s office signed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support for Wood Lake camp Dear editor: There has been much talk and concern about the Wood Lake Bible Camp property.

The camp has been operated by the Baptist General Conference on Wood Lake for the past 85 years, long before all the cabins and homes that have been built on the lake. For many reasons it was no longer feasible to operate in the manner of the past. So I was thrilled that Pat and Judi Kinsella would buy it and continue its usage as a camp, and make a huge investment in updating buildings and grounds. Also expanding the usage to include youth, adults, veterans, and other nondenominational groups.

One problem is that camping alone does not create enough revenue to maintain, buildings, grounds, and other operating

LETTER GUIDELINES expenses. This is the reason for including an area for RV camping. So who are these people that use RV parks? For one example look at the people who use Grantsburg Memory Lake RV park. These people are mostly older retired couples and are not the kind of people who would be tearing up and down the roads nor are they speeding across the lake on jet skies. With over 200 acres of land the RV park would not be near the lake at all but set in a natural wooded section of the property. These are the reasons I will support the new owners as they make plans to continue Christian ministry on Wood Lake.

Committee hears from highway operations manager JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––The Highway department has been busy over the last month battling snow and ice storms, not to mention the extreme cold. But the infrastructure had words of encouragement for the department.

Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs brought Highway Operations Manager, Jeremy Burton, to the meeting with him so they could see who is in charge of keeping roads clear for snow removal.

“He’s up at 1 or 2 in the morning checking on the roads,” Hoefs said.

“I like getting out there early and figuring out what type of material we should be using on the roads and what

concentration. It all depends on the situation,” Burton said. Those materials include the salt/sand mixture and the brine solution the county makes and has continued to sell to other counties.

Burton has been with the department for 14 years and has been at his current post for about a year and a half.

The committee had words of encouragement for him about the condition of the roads compared to neighboring counties during the past month of winter storms.

“I want to compliment you on the state of the highways It was done quickly and is much better than Washburn County,” Supervisor Bert Lund Jr. said.

Other committee members voiced their agreement.

Supervisor Jim Paden added that the highway department has been plowing the streets in the Town of Grantsburg, where Paden serves as Chairman, and said they are doing a great job.

Jail sewer issues Maintence Director, Gary Faught reported to the committee that the inmates in the jail were at it again last month. He said they had begun flushing bedsheets down the toilets and that had backed up the sewer system causing the Government Center to shut down on Jan. 18. They had a similar issue later on in the month.

Faught discussed the issues with an engineer who suggested a fishing line

type of device that would be able to catch flushed items before they cause damage and back up the sewer system.

“We had to send employees home and that costs the taxpayers,” County Administrator Nate Ehalt said. “The first time we had to shut down the building cost the taxpayers $10,400.”

Ehalt said that even though employees were sent home they were still paid for a whole day of work and that alone cost around $8,000 or $9,000 plus the overtime to pay the maintenance staff to fix the problem.

Faught was able to find some good in this issue. He said it was a good team building exercise for his department.

However, his staff said that next time they would rather go fishing

Burglar pleads guilty to number of charges JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY–– Earl J. Baker, 32, Osseo, pleaded guilty to a number of misdemeanor and felony counts in multiple cases at the Burnett County Courthouse last week. The charges went back to May 2017.

He entered court expecting to be sentenced on Friday, but Judge Melissia Mogen ordered a pre-sentence investigation to be done before he is sentenced.

Baker pleaded guilty to: • One count of misdemeanor theft amended from felony theft of movable property.

• One count of receiving stolen property (>$2,500-$5,000), a class I felony.

• One count of misdemeanor resisting arrest, amended from felony vehicle operator flee/elude officer.

• One count of possession of firearm by a convicted felon, a class G felony.

• One count of drive or operate vehicle without consent, a class I felony.

• Two counts of misdemeanor receiving or concealing stolen property (<=$2,500).

Kate Murtaugh, Baker’s attorney, and district attorney Joe Schieffer have agreed on the restitution of $5,769.13.

However, Murtaugh said she wanted a stipulation added that money not go to

the insurance company and she is prepared to argue that point at the restitution hearing.

Baker was facing 29 misdemeanor and felony counts in 13 cases.

A number of other Earl J. Baker charges have been dismissed, but will be read in for sentencing purposes.

Baker faces up to a year and a half in prison for each felony count with two years of extended supervision and nine months in prison for the misdemeanor counts.

Mogen explained to Baker she could have those sentences run concurrently or consecutively. He is potentially looking at over six years in prison with another six years of extended supervision.

In November of 2016, Baker pleaded guilty to concealing stolen property, operating a vehicle without the owners consent and attempted burglary stemming from a series of incidents between March 2014 and April 2015. He was sentenced to six months in jail, three years probation and ordered to pay $2,172 in restitution.

Baker will be back in court on May 13 for a sentencing and restitution hearing.

Evers to propose spending $43 million on rural dental care MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers says he plans to propose spending more than $43 million over the next two years to expand access to dental care in Wisconsin, particularly in underserved rural areas.

The Eau Claire Leader-Telegram reported last Monday that more than $16 million is targeted to increase reimbursement rates for dental providers who see patients on Medicaid.

The governor’s proposal also includes creating a “dental therapist licensure,” allowing for a midlevel dental provider to address a shortage of providers across Wisconsin.

More than 200 dentists are estimated to be needed in Wisconsin for high shortage areas.

Evers also wants to allocate $60,000 each of the next two years to pay for loan repayments of dentists who opt to serve rural areas. He also wants to spend nearly $1.3 million more on grants for dental clinics that serve low-income patients.

GRANTSBURG––The school day was coming to an end Jan. 23, when special education teacher Ann Luedtke looked over and saw a co-worker visibly struggling to swallow water after eating half a grape. She realized in that moment that she was, in fact, choking and ran to get help.

“I was trying to drink water to wash down the grape that was lodged in my throat, but I kept coughing it up because there was nowhere for the water to go,” said the chocking victim who wished to remain anonymous.

That is when Elementary Principal Ibby Olson came to the rescue. She had learned how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver when she was trained as a lifeguard by Mike Amundson around 20 years ago at the Grantsburg Pool. She was then recertified over the years because of her time as an educator but has never had to use it until now.

“I was sitting in my office completely oblivious to what was going on when Ann came in and asked if I knew the Heimlich Maneuver. I ran out and asked if I could perform the procedure on her. She nodded ‘yes’ since she couldn’t utter the words because she was choking,” said Olson.

After what seemed to be roughly 20 hard thrusts, the grape literally shot out and went straight into the garbage can.

“I was worried wondering if this was going to work out or not. The school nurse was already gone for the day, so Ann was in the process of dialing 911 but was struggling with dialing out before dialing 911. By the time the first responders arrived, the grape had already been dislodged,” said Olson.

The big takeaway from this is that it does not matter how old you are, cut your grapes in half and understand that you can choke on anything, even as an adult.

The elementary school office has now also added 911 to their speed dial for future accidents. To find more information about getting CPR certified and trained to do the Heimlich Maneuver please contact Sarah Denn, Burnett Medical Center’s Education Coordinator, at (715) 463-7387 or (800) 293-5353.

“I want to thank Principal Olson and Ann for literally saving my life. As silly as this story may sound, I am so thankful they knew just what to do in that moment of chaos,” the victim stated. “If it wasn’t for those two incredible women I wouldn’t be here telling you this story today.”

Slow children signs The board voted to purchase four signs to place on Pike Avenue to alert drivers to slow down and

watch out for children. The signs cost $25 each, there will be two signs on each side of the road facing both directions. It will cost the village $100 plus the cost of posts.

Trustee Kelsey Gustafson said he had gotten multiple requests to get some type of signage on that road. The speed limit is 25 mph on the road and 15 when children are present, but the residents and parents still insisted on proper signage.

Members of the board discussed how many children are on or near that street especially on nights when they have soccer games.

WEBSTER–– The Village of Webster is set to meet in March to discuss and get prices on removing sludge from the treatment ponds in the village.

Public Works Director Jay Heyer told the board it would probably cost “a couple hundred thousand dollars for just the two ponds.”

He added that is just a preliminary number and said it could be more or less. The treatment ponds are located in the southeast corner of the Webster Village limits about a quarter mile off of County Road X. There are three treatment

ponds and two of them were built in the 1960s and the third was built in the early 1990s. None have ever been drained before.

“That’s why we’re having this meeting (next month) to get a firm price on what it is going to cost,” Heyer said.

He said the sludge has to be moved to an area with lots of acreage and in an open area. He has a couple of nearby landowners in mind to ask about putting the sludge there.

BURNETT COUNTY–– The board of supervisors met last week for a committee of the whole meeting after their full County Board meeting scheduled for next week was canceled. One of the presentations at the meeting was on transportation spending and the question of how the County will pay for general maintenance of roads County Administrator Nate Ehalt started by explaining the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that provides the taxpayers with knowledge and understanding of when they can expect projects will need to be done. He said county roads need to be assessed and resurfaced about every 30 years.

He stated that in the late 90s the County saw a spike in miles of roads that were resurfaced and that those roads are once again being looked at.

“The county was flush with cash in those days,” County Chairman Don Taylor said of the mid-1990s to the early 2000s.

“It was cheaper too in those days,” Supervisor Ed Peterson added.

Ehalt continued with a graph that showed the CIP preliminary data indicated that by 2029 those roads will have to be resurfaced and the county will need to

come up with the money to fund those projects.

The CIP preliminary data also showed it may cost the county almost $4 million in 2029 alone. The County is expected to pay an average of just under $2 million until 2050.

In order to pay for road maintenance and improvements Ehalt brought a number of suggestions on how to cover that cost including a County vehicle registration fee or wheel tax, they could also borrow the funds in a short-term borrowing option.

Ehalt said there are wheel taxes in 20 municipalities and nine counties across the state, with the average fee being $20 per vehicle.

About 15,000 vehicles in the county would qualify for the registration fee. Projected revenue if the fee were $15 per vehicle would be $225,000 annually and $450,000 if the fee were $30. Ehalt added that in his discussions with other counties the State administration fee for the program would be somewhere between $12,000 and $25,000.

The next step for the board would be to finalize and approve the CIP at their committee of the whole meeting in May. The board would then need to determine which funding mechanism they would want to go forward with for 2020. Ehalt asked for board members’ input over the next six months to be prepared for funding.

100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett make third donation of over $8,000 awarded to ICAA SIREN ––The philanthropic group 100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett held their third quarterly meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 13th at Northwoods Crossing Event Center in Siren. The meeting, welcoming 89 new and returning members, was a tremendous success and the evening culminated with an $8,400 donation being made to Connections Store & More/Burnett County Food Shelf/Indianhead Community Action Agency, Inc. (ICAA).

ICAA’s mission is “to assist individuals in achieving self-sufficiency by providing the resources, education and services necessary to develop healthy families, sustainable communities, and strong local businesses”. In 2018, the food pantry served nearly 1,000 individuals, with three-quarters of those individuals using the food pantry monthly, helping families and seniors make ends meet. Josie Penberthy spoke on behalf of the group and explained they hope to use the donation to upgrade their freezers and refrigeration

units to more energy efficient models to reduce their high electricity bills. They also plan to redesign their building to move the food pantry to the back of the store, offering more confidentiality to the people who use their services. Any remaining funds will help expand the variety of healthy food offered at the food pantry. 100 Women Who Care Polk/Burnett are proud to have contributed to their worthy cause.

The evening included an update from Community Referral Agency, the last group to receive 100 Women Who Care – Polk/Burnett’s quarterly donation. Cheri Moats spoke on behalf of the group and shared that they were able to use the donation to purchase a new, larger van to help transport their clients and their families to the safe places they need to be. The van was purchased locally, in Polk County, and has been a wonderful new resource for their organization.

100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett meets quarterly, on the second Wednes-

day evening of February, May, August and November. At each meeting, three local non-profit groups are allowed to give a brief presentation to educate members about their cause. At the end of the presentations, each member votes anonymously for the group they feel is most deserving to receive their quarterly donation. Three different non-profits will be chosen at random from all applicants to present each quarter. All groups who apply must operate in Polk and/or Burnett counties in Wisconsin and have 501(c)(3) status.

Once a non-profit group is selected to receive a donation, they will be removed from the eligible pool for two calendar years. If a non-profit group is chosen to present, but is not chosen to receive the donation, they will be added back to the drawing at the next quarterly meeting.

100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett is accepting new members and non-profit group applications. If you are interested in joining the group or sub-

mitting an application, please send an inquiry to 100wwc.pb@gmail.com. You can also “Like” the group on Facebook at “100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett” or visit www.100wwc-pb.weebly. com for information on upcoming meetings and donations made.

Founding member Tammy TwedtClose said “We are so impressed with our enthusiastic members and hope to see our membership reach 100 by our next meeting. We have been able to donate a total of $20,300 to worthy causes in our communities and we’re excited to continue to support new groups each quarter!”

100 Women Who Care – Polk/Burnett will hold their next meeting on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at Northwoods Crossing Event Center in Siren. The members would like to recognize and thank Jake and Holly Mangelsen for generously donating the use of the event center for their quarterly meetings.

Thank you!

Wisconsin judge tosses wrestler’s suspension, worrying refs MILWAUKEE — A Wisconsin judge overturned a high school wrestler’s suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct after the student’s parents took legal action, worrying referees and the state’s athletic association that officiating decisions could be undermined by courts.

At issue is a Feb. 2 wrestling contest in which the victor was suspended for one match for arguing with a referee and “primping” and showing off his muscles after he won, according to Barry Mano, president of the National Association of Sports Officials.

The suspension of Waterford High School sophomore Hayden Halter would have caused him to miss a key match to make it to the state tournament finals.

Halter’s parents disagreed with the suspension.

Since the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association does not allow appeals, they took their case to court in Racine County. There, Judge Michael J. Piontek concluded on Friday that Halter’s actions did not merit suspension, based on testimony he heard and the video he saw, which was taken from the bleachers

by Halter’s mother.

Mano condemned the judge’s ruling, saying he became, in effect, the replay official in a sport that doesn’t allow the use of video to check officials’ calls.

“That’s unprecedented,” he said. “All of a sudden you’re the referee? Have you ever refereed a match, sir? Have you ever been down there on the mat, in the heat of battle, sir?”

The WIAA, which is the organization Halter’s

parents challenged in court, said in a statement that officials are “weighing alternative courses of action,” but could not comment further. WIAA can appeal the judge’s ruling.

Mano said WIAA doesn’t allow wrestlers to appeal officials’ calls because it would create too many complications.

“That’s the Pandora’s box. If WIAA gave the right to appeal an officiating call, just imagine where this is going to go,” he said.

Halter is scheduled to compete Saturday at the Division 1 sectional meet at Horlick High School. If he wins there, he will go to the state tournament.

1/2 pound ham, shaved 2 cups shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 egg beaten Salt to taste Quick Pastry Puff: 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted 1/2 tsp salt 10 Tbsp cold butter, cut into cubes 1/3 cup ice cold water Directions:

Beginners Quick Pastry Puff Ham and Cheese Pockets

In a medium bowl, stir the flour and salt together.

Add the butter and cut in with a pastry knife or fork.

The dough should be loose with lumps of butter no bigger than peas.

Create a well in the middle of the dough, and add the water. Stir to combine. Turn dough out onto a clean work surface lightly sprinkled with flour. Shape the dough into a rectangle. There will be chunks of butter, and the dough will be very loose.

Wild Chow With a rolling pin, roll the dough out, Lisa Erickson alternating from top to bottom and, left and right—until the rectangle is about 10 x 6 inches. Fold the left to the center and the right over the left side. Rotate the dough one turn, and roll out again as before and repeat 6 more times until the dough has many layers. After the last fold, do not roll the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two hours or overnight.

Ham and Cheese Pockets Directions: Preheat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard; set aside.

On a clean lightly floured surface, roll out the cold dough to a 10-inch square. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Brush mayonnaise mixture over the dough, leaving an edge of 1/2-inch around the border. Layer the ham, overlapping each slice over the bottom half of the dough.

Sprinkle the cheeses over the meat. Fold the top half of the dough over the ham and cheese, and press the edges closed gently. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg.

Lightly salt the top and bake 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is slightly puffy and golden brown. Cool for a few minutes; slice into four pieces and serve.

Baking is therapeutic. Whether you’re frustrated or over the moon happy about something, baking is a great stress reliever. Baking consumes your mind because it’s rhythmic and systematic.

Learning to make bread is one of those crafts that gives twice. You experience the joy of making something, then you get to eat it. Plus, baking is relatively inexpensive and requires only a small investment.

Learning to bake bread is an art. I tried for years to learn it on my own, and I ended up taking lessons from an older more experienced baker who taught me the basics. I learned so much. Once I learned the science, basics and the “feel” of bread making, I felt confident I could make any kind of bread, even gourmet products.

Join me for a day of Artisan Bread Baking March 9, 2019, 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. We will be making French baguettes, traditional yeast bread, scones, and sweet and savory pastries like the recipe below. Lunch is included. Space is limited.

Last Wednesday’s weather was a very welcome surprise for our Valentine Potluck. What a very scrumptious meal. We have some wonderful bakers and cooks who love to share their goodies. Congratulations to VI and Verner Dahlberg who celebrated their 70th Valentine’s, and to Marilyn and Gene Gronlund, who have shared 68 Valentine’s together.

After enjoying our potluck many of us walked across the street to browse through the Pink Squirrel.

It’s like a trip down memory lane checking out so many items from

the past. Items that I remember from Grandma and Grandpa’s as well our own home.

We have chosen to hold the annual meeting Thursday, Feb. 21 at 1 p.m. Please consider attending, this is your center.

Fun facts this month in history: 1919 Woodrow Wilson designates the Grand Canyon as a national park. 1945 the Marines raise the flag on Iwo Jima. 1983 the last episode of MASH airs after 11 seasons. And the Birkebeiner (the largest cross-country ski race in the U. S. brings nearly 5,000 com-

The 500 winners were Dean Elken, Neil Olson, John LaFond, Fourth place went to Pat Bresina and Jeanne Dodenhoff who tied. Ben Anderson got the 9

bid.

Spade winners were Steve Wenthe, Sue Christensen, Marilyn Niles, Anke Olsen, and Gerry Vogel. Ben Anderson and Shirley Doriott shared the 9 bid.

Be careful on the ice. I hope this will be a more normal week so we can have our activities.

DATES TO REMEMBER Feb 21 – monthly meeting 9:30 April 19 – Good Friday breakfast April 27- 500 card party

300, the eleventh one, and also had a high individual game, 579.

It sure is fun to watch and we all congratulate you Bill. Some other high scores that get gold stars are LaJuana, 267, and Dana, 257. Three people bowled a 222, so I will call them The 222 Club, Bill P, Vickie, and Linda. Good job. Splits picked up were: Harvey 7-8-10, Linda 3-910, and Dana 5-10 twice.

If you haven’t visited the center, please do so. The lunches are great and a good time to visit with old

friends and make some new ones.

Sipping, snacking and tooth decay AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION

Now more than ever, kids are faced with many food choices — from fresh produce to sugary processed meals and snack foods. What children eat and when they eat it may affect not only their general health but also their oral health.

Americans are consuming foods and drinks high in sugar and starches more often and in larger portions than ever before. It is clear that junk foods and drinks have gradually replaced nutritious beverages and foods for many people.

For example, in the U.S., on average, individuals consume approximately 50 gallons of sugary beverages per year. Alarmingly, a steady diet of sugary foods and drinks can ruin teeth, especially among those who snack throughout the day.

Common activities may contribute to the tendency toward tooth decay. These include grazing habitually on foods with minimal nutritional value, and frequently sipping on sugary drinks.

Consuming too much sugar can also affect your overall health, leading to problems such as becoming overweight/obese, or getting heart disease or type 2 diabetes.

When sugar is constantly consumed in large amounts, the harmful effect on teeth can be dramatic. Sugar on teeth provides food for bacteria, which produce acid. The acid in turn can eat away the enamel on teeth.

There is a risk for tooth decay from a diet high in sugars and starches. Starches can be found in everything from bread to pretzels to salad dressing, so read labels and plan carefully for a balanced, nutritious diet for you and your kids.

Reduce your children’s risk of tooth decay: • Sugary foods and drinks should be consumed with meals.

• Limit between-meal snacks.

• If your kids chew gum, make it sugarless.

• Monitor beverage consumption.

• Help your children develop good brushing and flossing habits.

• Schedule regular dental visits.

NATURAL CONNECTIONS

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Last week, we gave a hint of things to come. So without further ado, meet the Gamer Pups, Luigi, Mario, Princess Peach, Princess Zelda, and Lara Croft are just about ready for homes of their own.

These eight-week-olds are T a mix of Husky, Lab, Masttiff, and Am Staff, so they will probably grow to be w llarge (over 50-pounds), e energetic adults who will n need a lot of guidance tto become great comp panions. This gang has sshorter coats in shades o of black and white. If you a are interested in meeting Mario one of these puppies, they are currently in foster care – so call HSBC and set up an appointment.

The Gamer Pups aren’t the only ones at HSBC looking for a family. For a little less excitement, meet Marion. She is a gorgeous tortoiseshell shorthair who weighs in at a petite seven-pounds and is one year old. Marion came to HSBC as a young mother, and now that her kitten-rearing days are behind her, she would enjoy quiet time in a new household. This sweet girl loves people of all ages and is good with other cats. While she loves a good cuddle, Marion is also a big fan of chasing lights across the floor. She would enjoy meeting you.

HSBC is doing it again.

On Wednesday, March 6, HSBC and Purple Cat Mobile Veterinary Clinic will be providing a low-cost spay and neuter clinic for felines. Drop off your kitty in a carrier at 9 a.m. at the Midtown location and get your cat back all “fixed.”

Rabies vaccinations are also being offered. ApMarion pointments and prepayment must be made before taking advantage of this great deal. Contact the shelter for a time slot.

HSBC is still looking for wrapped candy suitable for parade-throwing on St. Patrick’s Day. If you are out and about, feel free to pick some up and drop it off at the shelter. And thanks to everyone for your continued support.

Come ski, have fun, and be sustainable EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

I ventured out cross-country skiing in the middle of that big snowstorm a couple weeks ago, and my ski tips ran incognito under the fluff. Finally, all 100 kilometers of world-class ski trails in the American Birkebeiner trail system were covered in plenty of snow. With a bit of a warm, dry start to the winter, I’m sure some folks had been remembering 2017.

That year, it rained. The snow pack melted, and a hopeful-looking snowstorm tracked just a little too far south. For only the second time in the Birkie’s 45-year history, the race was canceled. It was a disappointing, but not entirely surprising occurrence. Skiers all over the country have been contending with warmer winters and a shallower snowpack for years. Hayward’s average winter temperature has risen 4.5 degrees since 1950. The Birkie is featured right alongside maple syruping and ice fishing on the ClimateWisconsin.org website as Northwoods traditions that are threatened by a changing climate.

So how can cross-country skiing adapt to these challenges? Ben Popp has some ideas. Popp became Executive Director of the non-profit American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation in 2013, and his big dreams and big energy have been making things happen.

In 2018, the Birkie purchased their first ever snowmaking equipment using donations from businesses and the ski community.

Two big snow guns now rove trails near the Birkie’s start area. The trail crew began making snow on November 7, 2018, and opened a 1 kilometer loop of ski trail on November 17. Someday the man-made snow could be stored over the summer under an insulating layer of sawdust. It would be ready to use in October, even before temperatures become suitable for snowmaking again.

Making snow is energy intensive, though, which could increase carbon emissions and exacerbate

climate change. Popp wants to make sure that the Birkie isn’t setting itself up for a short term win and a long term loss, so he’s been meeting with local electrical companies about installing a solar farm to offset the Birkie’s energy use. Warming huts along the trail already derive their electricity from solar panels.

The Birkie’s most important adaptations to the changing snow conditions are unglamorous improvements to the trail itself. Skiers can make do with just an inch of snow on the velvety turf of a golf course. By smoothing the trail and removing rocks, the Birkie may soon be skiable with just four inches of flakes. It helps that the Birkie’s piston bully trail groomers have rubber tracks instead of metal, so that they float better on shallow snow.

Snow is essential, but liquid water is a threat to the trail. To prevent washouts, crew members harden off the surface by removing soft topsoil. They’ve also installed French drains, reengineered slopes, added ditches, put in erosion bars, and even built the trail higher ahead of a rising water table. In the future, the trail may be rerouted away from southwest-facing hills where snow disappears first.

Popp and the trail crew are even looking at the surrounding forest to eke out more gains in sustainability. Bayfield County, who owns and manages the forests along the Birkie Trail corridor, has respected the scenic quality of the trail by not cutting trees within 100 feet of the trail. As dense groves of evergreens intercept snow, hold in heat, and create thin spots on the trail, though, foresters are being given a green light to manage trees in that buffer zone. “Part of the process is educating skiers that forest management is a good thing, and convincing them that it will actually improve their skiing experience,” says Popp.

Skiing isn’t the only game in town, though. Running, mountain bike, and fat bike races spread both revenue and risk across seasons.

Having multiple events to help

cover the $380,000 per year cost of trail maintenance is part of trail sustainability.

As the Birkie tries to lead by example in many forms of sustainability, their skiers are stepping up, too. One skier even facilitated the installation of an electric vehicle charging station at the popular OO trailhead. This winter, the organization will launch its Birkie Green initiative, which seeks to reduce waste through reusable backpacks and cups, and to work with partners who are willing to make similar choices toward sustainability.

Why is this all so important to Popp? “The Birkie is a Northwoods icon,” says Popp, “and preserving some version of it is important.”

He feels responsible to the local community who depends on the economic boost that the trail provides. More than 90 percent of the Birkie’s income comes from greater than 50 miles away, and more than 90 percent of that is spent within a 50 mile radius. The Birkie also provides unique venues for kids’ lessons, high school races, skills clinics, and more. The trail system is a draw for athletes, vacationers, active retirees, and cabin owners.

Popp’s been drawn to this ski community since he was a child, even participating in the kids’ race before it became known as the Barnebirkie. His passion is contagious. His energy is infectious. He’s a “big picture” guy, and under his leadership, the American Birkebeiner will continue to be a big part of the cross-country skiing picture. In his words, “Come ski. Have fun.” *A version of this article was published in Northern Wilds Magazine and is reprinted with permission.

Attention Addicts Do you feel like something has taken control of your life? Has what maybe started out as an escape or even something good become harmful, and you are facing consequences you just didn’t see coming? It comes in many forms, but we call these seemingly uncontrollable desires addictions.

This may describe your life or the life of someone you know. If that’s true I hope you will understand two things. First– you are not alone. All of us have felt the pull of desires that bring us down and none of us has said no every time. You also aren’t alone in the sense that there people out there who love you and want to help without judging you.

Second– please understand that you can change.

You might feel like you’re too far in, but remember “with God all things are possible”- Matthew 19:26.

There is new life because Jesus rose from the dead.

There is power that comes in that new life as God Himself lives in you. You have never gone beyond God’s ability to forgive and change you.

With that in mind, First Baptist Church in Webster is going to begin hosting a group to help people experience the power of God to change their lives.

It’s called Crossroads, a Step by Step Guide Away from Addiction. The group will meet Sundays at 3:30 p.m. beginning on March 3rd and run for a total of 11 weeks.

There is no cost for this. If you need help with childcare let us know. Please call (715-866-4111) or email (pastorjowers@gmail.com) if you have questions or we can help you in any way.

Protect and Preserve Big Wood Lake For over 70 years, Big Wood Lake has been home to faith-based, nonprofit youth camps. These camps provide educational programming and spiritual development to kids, their counselors, and staff from Burnett County and the surrounding region. The impact of these camps on the lake is modest. Campers come primarily in the summertime for on-site programming that includes swimming, canoeing, and campfires.

What do these camps generally have in common?

• • • • • • •

They are licensed as Recreational & Educational (Rec-Ed) camps Staff and counselors typically submit to background checks Religiously-affiliated camps have daily worship and prayer Fishing boats and pontoons are not available to rent Alcohol is not available for purchase on-site Traffic is mostly cars and small trucks dropping off and picking up youth a couple times a week They have clear mission statements and are registered with the IRS as 501(c)(3) nonprofits

“Wood Lake Camp and RV, LLC” is seeking to convert the former Wood Lake Bible Camp, over 234 acres of land on and adjoining Big Wood Lake, into a high-density, for-profit commercial recreational campground.

A commercial recreational campground is not a licensed Rec-Ed camp.

The first 23 acres of this project, less than 10% of the total land, is proposed to include 25 tent and RV lots, a trailer park with 27 rental units, existing cabins available to rent, fishing boat rentals, and pontoon rentals.

This project would be the largest ever of its kind in Burnett County. It would convert land zoned for forestry (F-1) and historically used lightly as a summer camp into a high-intensity commercial use. As currently proposed, this kind of project has not historically been allowed on forestry land or shore land parcels and is prohibited in the Town of Wood River.

If you fish on Big Wood Lake, if you visit the sand bar on Big Wood Lake, if you send your kids to camp on Big Wood Lake, and if you live on Big Wood Lake or own property on Big Wood Lake, you have a lot to lose with this project: •

This commercial project is not consistent with Burnett County’s 2010 comprehensive land use plan.

•

The year-round population on the lake could more than double (there are 163 residences currently).

•

The value of homes and cabins on the lake would decline, offsetting any tax revenue from the campground.

•

The impact on the lake, adjacent wetlands, and surrounding roads will be significant.

•

The cost of providing emergency services to the area (police, fire, and other first responders) will increase.

•

The campground noise on the south end of the lake would disturb residents and wildlife.

Please join over 682 anglers, local business owners, friends, neighbors, residents, and taxpayers to protect the economy and ecology of Big Wood Lake from this high-density, high-intensity commercial project.

Wrestlers will send two to state GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

NEILLSVILLE—“Every year I tell the kids the goal is to make it to Sectionals,” voiced LFGS wrestling coach Chris Bartlett.

“That is the only way you can make it to State. Anything can happen and you have an opportunity to make it. Most kids never get the chance to make it to Sectionals, let alone State. You may only get the one chance in your wrestling career to make it to State. No one knows what the next season will bring.”

As reported last week, five wrestlers of the LFGS squad made it to sectionals.

Two left with State aspirations, Nolan Johnson and Taedon Nichols.

Nolan “did what he had to do. He beat the first kid of the day. We knew the next one was going to be tough. He was pinned. The rest of the kids on the back side he had beaten or split with in the season. It came down to who wanted it.

He won the the next match. That put him in the third place match with the winner going to State. He was quick on his feet and able to secure two take downs along with a reversal. It was nice to see a smile at the end and realize he made it to State,” said the coach.

Taedon “is on a mission,” continued

ERIC PAULSON

Taedon Nichols, a freshman from Siren, is “on a mission” according to his coach Chris Bartlett and is expected to do well at State this weekend.

Coach Bartlett. “He is looking unstoppable. His sights should be on a State title. He is wrestling very well. He pinned his first two opponents to guarantee his ticket to State. He came into the finals against a very familiar foe.

He split with him in the season. They have mutual respect for each other. In the finals, it was Taedon taking charge and controlling the match. He came out with an 11-3 decision.”

The remaining three wrestlers did not place.

Landyn Johnson “had one of those days where he is going to think ‘if I only did this or that.’ That is the tough thing about sports. He wrestled very well. His record didn’t indicate how good a wrestler he is. He won his first match 7-2. He lost his second 3-1 as his opponent was awarded a two point take down as the whistle blew. The third match went into

Dragons advance; Pirates’ and Tigers’ seasons end seasons come to an end on Tuesday night.

The Pirates end their season with an 8-13 overall record, and a 6-6 conference record good for a fourth place finish in the West Lakeland Conference.

Webster was the #10 seed and traveled to Shell Lake on Tuesday, the #7 seed.

The Tigers came up short dropping this game 59-34 to end their season.

sudden death, the first point(s) win.

Then into a second round tie breaker where the opponent got a 2-1 win. He wrestled hard. I am glad he has another year left to get another shot.

“It was nice to see Merlin Hibbs make it to Sectionals. He knew that with his knee banged up and not be able to prepare like he would have, it would be a long shot. His opponent was able to put him (Merlin) on his back and get a pin. Merlin had to wait to see if he won his second match. It was a hard fought match with Merlin coming up short 2-7. He came off the mat upset, but also realizing he did the best he could and he gave it his all.”

Brad Lucas “wrestled the best he did all season. He didn’t win a match. His second match of the day was against a quality wrestler and he made it all three rounds. He lost 7-14. He has a year left and I look forward to seeing what he can do next year.”

Concluding, “ I have seen kids that made it to State their freshman year and never made it there again. This year Nolan and Taedon made it to State.

I expect both of them to go down to State and make some noise.”

Blizzard season ends GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SOMERSET—In the opening round of the WIAA boys hockey playoffs Wednesday, Feb. 13, the Blizzard traveled to Somerset and fell on the short end of a 6-2 game.

The loss ended the Blizzard’s 2018-19 campaign.

“Obviously the Somerset game was disappointing just for the simple fact that the boys played their hearts out and came up short,” lamented Blizzard coach Tim McDonald.

“We all wanted to win, but wanted it more for the seniors. They are a great bunch of young men who aren’t perfect, but did their best and were good leaders and examples for the rest of the team and the entire hockey organization.”

Burnett got on the board first on a Bryce Roufs goal at 2:09. The assist went to David Doty.

The Spartans got the next two goals, both at even strength, to end the period leading 2-1.

Doty knotted the score at two just 12 seconds into the second period with assists going to Gage Hall and Roufs.

And that was the extent of the Blizzard scoring in this game and the season.

Somerset put two more past the Burnett goalie making the score 4-2 after two periods of play, and then added two more in the third period.

Blizzard goalie Caleb Johnson had 25 saves and the Blizzard put 18 shots on the Somerset goalie.

Burnett ends the season with a 4-16 record.

“The seniors will be hard to replace as there are seven of them who provided the bulk of our scoring and point production. We will move ahead as usual and look forward to the group of boys we have moving up from Bantams,” concluded Coach McDonald.

Tigers undefeated in conference GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER––The Webster Tigers remain undefeated in West Lakeland Conference basketball as they continued to win, this time a 74-34 victory over the visiting Frederic Vikings last Friday.

“We are starting to hit our playoff pace right now which is really nice to see” praised Tiger coach Rob Scherrer.

“We didn’t get off to the best start and trailed 14-13 with eight minutes in the first half, but closed the half on a monster run to go into the locker room 40-14. We have the ability to string long runs together, I think that is what separates us from a lot of teams.”

In the first half, Jack Washburn had 12 points followed

by Coleton Peterson with 10. Tanner Pardun put in five with both Carsen Stenberg and Hunter Rosenbaum adding four apiece. Trevor Gustafson had three and Triston Benjamin two.

The second half had Hunter Rosenbaum leading the way with eight. Washburn, Trevor Gustafson and Auston Sigfrids added six. Peterson tallied four.

“Tonight was all about our seniors. Jack, Hunter, and Trevor have made such an impact in our athletic programs at Webster. I have had the pleasure to coach these guys for three and four years respectively. Their work ethic, dedication, and drive have turned this program around and have made it great again. I am so proud of their accomplishments and I am excited to see what the

Webster goes to Grantsburg on Friday night for the season’s finale. Regionals begin next Tuesday.

BALSAM LAKE—When the Grantsburg Pirates hosted the Unity Eagles in early January, the two battled it out through two overtime periods before the Eagles were able to steal a 66-65 win from the Pirates.

Last Friday night’s game had the same excitement and took overtime to decide a winner again. The Pirates came up short this time as well, dropping this one 54-58 to the Eagles.

“We dug ourselves a hole again, but had gotten back into the game and feel like we should’ve won this game,” Pirates head coach Nick Hallberg said. “In terms of effort, we played at a level that I am not sure we’ve seen since before Christmas break. The boys really played hard, just came up a little short. We’re sick of moral victories though and are looking to continue to improve and close these games out.”

Grantsburg started the game very cold offensively and did not hit their first shot until eight minutes had run off the game clock. At that point, the Eagles had already taken an 11 point lead. The Pirates found themselves down 16-24 at halftime, with a battle ahead of them.

They came out of the locker room ready for the challenge and racked up 38 second half and overtime points to just 34 for the Eagles. But that first half defi-

SIREN––The Siren Dragons put together two impressive wins following two losses, one a blow out and the second a closely contested affair last week Saturday at Northland College, the Dragons defeated the Butternut Midgets 64-49.

The Dragons led at the half 28-21 and maintained their intensity in the second half, putting in 36 points.

Kanaan Christianson led the Dragons in scoring with 18. Riley Churchill added 14 with Brad Kosloski chipping in with 13.

Siren was 19 for 30 from the charity stripe and Butternut was 14 for 22. Zayden Anderson shot six consecutive free throws in the second half.

DRAGONS TOP BOBCATS On Monday night, the Dragons hosted the Birchwood Bobcats and right from the start showed they wanted this game. The final score was 87-69.

“This is two wins in a row,” said an elated coach Jon Ruud. “We played as a team and it’s exciting because they all showed up tonight, played unselfishly and did their jobs.”

“I think we were up by 40 at one point. It’s all about who shows up. Last Thursday, we were the worst team in the world. We weren’t there mentally, physically, but tonight it was a different story.”

Kanaan Christian started the game with three consecutive baskets, two three pointers and a two pointer.

Then Riley Churchill added a free throw and a field goal and Birchwood called time.

For the next seven minutes or so, the scoring was almost even with the Dragons recording 18 to the Bobcats’ 14.

The remaining nine minutes of the first half saw Siren add 20 and Birchwood 15 to make the halftime margin 49-29. At that point, Churchill had 15, Christianson 13 and Brad Kosloski 14.

The second half was by spurts as both team went on runs. Birchwood had a run of 10 midway in the second half and finished the game with a run of 12.

Churchill was the game high scorer with 36. Chris-

tianson added 24 and Brad Kosloski 14.

For the Bobcats, Matt Marcinske tallied 25, Trey Johnson 17, and Logan Saldana 10.

“We just need to keep this energy going now into the playoffs,” said the coach. “We’re excited to play St. Croix (on Thursday). We lost by only seven the firs time and we intend to play really hard.”

The Thursday night game is the season finale with Regional play starting next Tuesday with the Dragons going to Washburn. The winner on Tuesday will face the winner of the Luck-Butternut game which will be Mar. 1.

SIREN––In a make up nonconference game, the Northwood Evergreens defeated the Siren Dragons

Northwood held a 38-13 halftime lead.

None of the Dragons got into double figures in scoring. Riley Churchill had seven points with Silas

Jeffrey Meling led the Evergreens with 17 points. Collin Krmpotich added 16 and Hunter Phillips had 12.

cit was too much to overcome.

The Pirates kept chipping away at the Eagle lead and had brought it to within five points with just over nine minutes to play in regulation. They ramped up the defensive pressure, forcing several turnovers but were unable to convert on some, as they missed layups at the other end. They were not deterred, though, and kept clawing their way back into the game.

David MacKean hit a three-pointer to bring his Pirate squad within two at 37-39 with 4:00 on the clock.

The defense stepped up and shut down the Eagles, and Austin Wedin hit one from behind the arc to give Grantsburg their first lead of the night at 40-39 with 3:25 left in regulation.

Freshman Carson Knutson didn’t let the pressure of the big moment shake him as he was perfect from the foul line, hitting six of six in the second half, with his final two putting the Pirates up 44-41 with 1:30 on the clock. Unfortunately, he fouled out with under a minute left in regulation.

From there, they struggled from the free throw line and missed chances to put the game away. The Eagles on the other hand, were steady from the line and were able to tie up the game at 46-46 to send it into overtime.

The Eagles outscored the Pirates 12-8 in OT to take the win.

The loss puts the Pirates at 5-6 in conference play and 9-9 overall as they head into the final week of the regular season.

Knutson led the charge with 14 points followed by Luke Anderson with 12, including three shots from three-point land. Gabe Chenal battled hard in the trenches racking up 10 points. Wedin tallied eight points with MacKean adding five, Gus Bergman four Joey Duncan one.

The Pirates will host Cameron on Monday and finish up the regular season by hosting Webster on Thursday night. Games times are 7:15 p.m.

SIREN––The Siren Dragons came from 10 down, 39-29, with 6:25 left and took the lead at 42-41 with 12 seconds remaining, but two free throws by Drummond made the final score for the Lumberjills 43-42 on Friday night.

In the first half, the ‘Jills and the Dragons battled closely until the 10:16 mark when after being tied at nine, Drummond had a 9-3 run to go up 18-12. After a Siren time out, they put together seven more points to the Dragons two and the halftime score was 25-14.

Siren battled back to narrow the score to 29-22 with 12:52 remaining. Drummond pushed it to 39-29 and then the Dragons growled and got to work.

Paeyton McKnight got a score.

Then Kyleigh Lightfeather scored, getting a steal and went in for the layup.

Drummond made only one free throw in three attempts before Hannah Lemieux hit a threepoint shot, making the score 40-36.

Again, the ‘Jills failed to capitalize on fouls and scored just one free throw while Maddie Thiex and Maddie Nichols each had a field goal, 41-40 for the Lumberjills.

Drummond turned the ball over and Lightfeather took advantage of that with another bucket, Siren 42, Drummond 41.

Another Drummond turnover gave the ball back to Siren, but an offensive foul on Siren gave the ball back to the Lumberjills.

With 12 seconds left, Drummond called time. After the time out, while defending the ‘Jills, Siren was called for a foul and Drummond made both free throws.

With three seconds left, Siren called time to plan strategy, but it went for naught as the inbounds pass was intercepted by Drummond and time ran out.

High scorers for the Dragons were Paeyton McKnight and Hannah Lemieux with nine apiece.

Cassie Maslow tallied eight.

Teacher avoids prison time for sexually assaulting student FOND DU LAC — A former Ripon High School teacher has been sentenced to probation for having a sexual relationship with a student.

Twenty-nine-year-old Samantha Fitzpatrick earlier pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault of a student by a school staff member. Three other counts, including child enticement, were dismissed.

WLUK-TV reports Fond du Lac County Judge Gary Sharpe ordered Fitzpatrick to serve three years of probation, but she avoided any time behind bars.

According to the criminal complaint, the male student was 16 at the time the sexual encounters began. Phone records showed sexually explicit messages were sent by the two.

She resigned from her teaching position in May of 2017.

Wisconsin high school sorry for apparent blackface display PORT WASHINGTON — The principal of a suburban Milwaukee high school says there will be consequences for students at a basketball game who displayed pictures of an opponent making it appear he was wearing blackface.

The player was Nicolet High School star Jalen Johnson. Johnson, who is black, is considered one of the top college prospects in the 2020 class. In a tweet, Johnson called Wednesday’s display “unacceptable.”

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the photo taken from Johnson’s Instagram account showed him wearing a charcoal facial mask for skin care.

Port Washington High School Principal Eric Burke did not say what the consequences would be but he apologized for the students’ actions and said they also would offer “a sincere apology.” He says he thinks the students did not understand how the display would be construed but the school still will “make this right.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jayme Closs thanks well-wishers for support

Evers wants more money for wells, drinking water study

BARRON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 13-year-old Wisconsin girl who spent 88 days in captivity after a violent abduction is thanking supporters from around the world.

Jayme Closs was taken in October in an attack that included the shotgun slayings of her parents, James and Denise Closs, at the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. A 21-year-old man is charged with kidnapping and murder.

Jayme is living with an aunt. In a statement, she and the Closs family expressed their â&#x20AC;&#x153;deepest gratitude for the incredible gifts and generous donationsâ&#x20AC;? sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s received. The statement says the many kind words Jayme has gotten â&#x20AC;&#x153;have been a source of great comfort to her.â&#x20AC;?

A criminal complaint says suspect Jake Patterson told police he decided to â&#x20AC;&#x153;takeâ&#x20AC;? Jayme after he saw her getting on a school bus near her home. Arraignment is set for March 27.

MADISON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gov. Tony Evers says his budget will seek more money for replacing polluted wells.

Evers announced last Wednesday that his budget will allocate $2 million for a grant program that funds replacement, repairs, or treatment for polluted private wells that serve homes or livestock. That is an increase of $1.6 million.

He says his budget will offer a new cost-share option that calls for the Department of Natural Resources to cover up to $16,000 in repairs for families below the median income.

The governor says his budget will also direct the DNR to spend $75,000 to evaluate drinking water contamination in Grant, Iowa and Lafayette counties.

Evers announced earlier this week that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll seek nearly $70 million in additional borrowing to combat water pollution and replace lead pipes.

Our prayers are Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterpiece

Mike Kleven First Baptist Falun

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daddy, daddy, look what I did!â&#x20AC;? He scooped up Sarah and studied her masterpiece. A wise father, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is it?â&#x20AC;? Instead he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sarah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful! Tell me all about your picture.â&#x20AC;? Sarah explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purple tree is chasing the green sun riding on a blue horse taking a nap.â&#x20AC;? While laughing and hugging Sarah he walked to the fridge to find just the right place for this newest masterpiece. Sarah giggled and beamed.

Does God have a refrigerator? If so, do our â&#x20AC;&#x153;masterpiecesâ&#x20AC;? adorn every inch of it? What would God consider a â&#x20AC;&#x153;masterpieceâ&#x20AC;? and put

on His fridge? Could it be our prayers? Consider this passage from the Psalms, â&#x20AC;&#x153;May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.â&#x20AC;? Psalm 19:14 (NIV), and this passage from Proverbs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.â&#x20AC;? Proverbs 15:8 (ESV) Perhaps when we first learn to pray our prayers appear to God like Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterpiece did to her daddy. Instead of saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is it your trying to tell me?â&#x20AC;? God eagerly listens and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to hear your

voice. Tell me more.â&#x20AC;? Like Sarah, we may be confused about colors. We may have problems forming into words what we want to tell God about ourselves, not knowing what to say. We may have trouble shaping our prayers to express what we feel and desire.

We may think our prayer arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very good, that they sound mixed up like a purple tree chasing a green sun riding on a blue horse taking a nap. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay because God loves to hear our voices as we explore expressing our hearts to Him.

A truly Frigid Five held in Grantsburg

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

There was a decline in racers this year for the Frigid Five, but they were all ready when the race began. The annual race held to help 8th grade students pay for their trip to Washington D.C. When the starting gun went off on Saturday it was about 2 degrees in Grantsburg.

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

The leaders were not worried about running on the layer of snow that has covered Madison Avenue for the last few weeks.

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Above: Walkers were in good spirits as they made their way in the race.

Right: All the racers were properly bundled up as they went through the village. The race began and ended at Grantsburg Middle School.
