Grantsburg Fire Chief Cory Barnette said the home on Fish Lake Road was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived.

Pellet stove blamed for Friday fire JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

T

he home of Brad and Deanna Adolphson was destroyed on April 13. A pellet stove heating the home caused a fire that also spread to a shed on the Fish Lake Road property in Grantsburg.

The pellet stove was heating the house when it caused a dog kennel to melt and eventually start on fire.

The smoke from the fire was easily visible from the Burnett Dairy Cooperative and Highway 87.

“The Frederic Fire Chief was at the dairy and he said he could see the smoke from there,” said

Grantsburg Fire Chief Cory Barnette.

“It’s normal for an old structure like this to release that much smoke when it burns,” Barnette said.

“The 17-year-old son was in the house,” Barnette said. “He smelled smoke coming from the pellet stove.”

The young man then got the dog out of the kennel and then called 911. He was later taken to Burnett Medical Center for smoke inhalation.

The Grantsburg Fire Department was dispatched at 9:20 a.m. to the fire. They were assisted by the Siren, Frederic, Cushing and Pine

City Fire Departments.

Barnette explained that when he arrived on the scene the house was fully engulfed in flames and they had to knock it down. Then the firefighters had to make sure the fire didn’t cause more damage after it spread to a shed on the property.

“So then we had to knock the shed down,” Barnette said.

Barnette said he cleared the scene and left at 12:08 p.m. after deeming the fire completely extinguished.

Donations can be made to the Adolphsons at the Country Store in Grantsburg.

Everyone is pretty much over and done with winter and the snow, right? Well after this past weekend, it does not look like it will be going anywhere soon. With more snow forecasted this week, the county could be looking at one of its worst winters on record.

“It’s just crazy,” said Larry Main of the Main Store in Webb Lake. “Four years ago it was bad, but there’s just so much snow and it’s all coming down after February 15.”

Main relies on the spring weather to start renting out boats and getting boats from storage onto the water for the fishing opener. Last year, it took eight weeks to get 350 boats onto the water. He said they moved boats everyday for up to ten hours a day.

“This year we’re going to have to move a whole lot more boats than that and we’re going to have about half the time to get it done,” Main said.

The Wisconsin fishing opener is traditionally the first Saturday in May. This year it falls on May 5.

“I think we’ll still have ice out there by the time the fishing opener arrives,” Main said.

Other businesses that have been affected are dealing with indoor costs.

“I’m freezing my butt off,” said Dean Faulhaber of Wood River Garden Store. “This winter has got us working twice as hard.”

Faulhaber said that since he’s been at Wood River, the snow has never been this continuous - not even in 2013. He and the rest of the Garden SEE WINTER, PAGE 2

Fat Fish 40 bike race on track for May 5 rollout LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

WEBSTER—Bill Summer apparently likes to keep busy. The owner of Webster Cog & Sprocket spent his winter months remodeling the

bike shop, and then decided – hey, why not start a bike race?

On Saturday, May 5, Webster Cog & Sprocket will co-host the inaugural Fat Fish 40 Bike Race, a 42.5 mile course that will begin and end in Webster.

Summer says that it was a natural step for the shop. “As silent sports grow, the Midwest is the core scene for the fat bikes because we have the snowfall and SENTINEL PHOTO

To delete or not to delete, that is the question The Big Gig in Siren is not your average spring concert. The event began with an Oscar’s-style opening video then members of the Siren High School band rushed into the auditorium with “Get Ready for This” blasting over the speaker system.

That song, by Dutch group - 2 Unlimited, was made famous by the film Space Jam and the crowd was definitely into it. Other highlights from the evening (pictures on page 16) were a montage of songs off of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and the majority of the crowd singing and grooving to Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll Part 1” also known Sentinel as the “Hey Song.”

The coolest thing from Monday Editor evening was the sign language Jonathan Richie special where black lights were used to sign the words to “Thunder/Young Dumb & Broke” Medley by Imagine Dragons and Khalid. It would have been really cool to get a picture of it, but that would’ve ruined the whole thing because of the black lights.

Anyway, during intermission I was looking at my phone and I got the dreaded message from Facebook saying that they have either sold a bunch or a little bit of my personal data.

“We understand the importance of keeping your data safe,” is how the message begins.

It goes on to explain that they have banned the third party app “This Is Your Digital Life,” which one of my “friends” used to log into Facebook. The company Cambridge Analytica may have “misused” some of my information.

At this point I thought, possibly like the other 87 million people affected, that I should delete my account. Then it dawned on my that I might need the social media giant for my job.

Facebook is an interesting thing. If I look up a shirt that I would like to purchase online, Facebook has an advertisement for the exact shirt the next time I’m on their site. But Mark Zuckerburg told Congress it would take five to ten years to stop hate speech on the site.

It reminded me of the only thing I remember from an economics class I took in college, “If you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product.”

My main point here is that war, poverty and disease may not end mankind, but it may be an algorithm that destroys our society.

Shifting gears back to music for a moment, Jack White’s new album, Boarding House Reach is really good. But if you’re looking for something banging to listen to, I highly suggest Cardi B’s new album, Invasion of Privacy.

Lastly, I made a mistake last week and wrote that Shohei Ohtani was Korean. He is Japanese.

Shaken, not stirred Ian Fleming’s secret agent James Bond ordered his martinis “shaken, not stirred” and the catchphrase, like the character, instantly became cool in popular culture.

Recent events at our house had me thinking about this phrase.

R l readers d Regular of this column know that we are cat and dog people. Within the past month, the last of our cats that made the move to Wisconsin from Iowa going on six years ago had to be euthanized.

One of the cats, Nekko (Japanese for “cat”), was a feral kitten found living at my parents’ home after my father died. My mother had passed 18 months earlier, so my siblings and I were cleaning out the house and discovered a stray mother cat with kittens.

We brought two home with us. It was on some level a way to continue a connection with my childhood. Nekko was 17 years old,

a sweet boy who had a mass on his liver. His passing was unexpected, occurring a month after our blind cat Bell passed.

In an unrelated but serendipitous decision, we had decided earlier in the week to adopt the kittens as companions for our three-yearold cat, Macie.

One of the benefits of owning companion animals is learning the value of unconditional love and becoming aware that life is finite.

We have had cats that lived as long as 21 years, so making the decision to adopt involved taking a look at our own mortality.

It’s a sobering exercise. The last thing any of us want to do is make life harder for our loved ones, so decisions about pet ownership are not to be taken lightly. We consider pets to be members of the family, so we don’t want their lives to be disrupted if we would pass away.

But for someone who has always owned multiple animals, it is a strange thing to realize that the kittens we play with are the final animal companions we will know.

Our fates, which were always linked, seem to be a bit more final.

My wife and I made a pact before the adoption that we would live at least another 21 years. In some ways, I suppose having these cats may extend our life spans. I sure

hope so.

Enough heaviness. The kittens, Felix and Willow, are litter mates that we adopted from the local humane society. They are sweet natured and are currently sequestered in a bedroom with food, water, a litter box and lots of toys.

We jokingly refer to the room as the “nursery” now.

In time, they will be introduced to Macie and our dogs, George and Gracie. After some closely monitored interactions, hopefully we will have a peaceable kingdom.

These things take some time.

For now, it’s a great respite at the end of the day to go to the room and spend time with playful kittens. There are few things in life that have the same power to melt away stress.

I highly recommend it.

Life at our house will be “shaken, not stirred” for a while as everyone adapts to the new members of the family. It will be exciting and perhaps a bit frustrating, but that’s fine by me.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

EARTH NOTES

Keep Earth Day growing throughout the year

What’s next for Paul Ryan?

BY WISPOLITICS.COM

Paul Ryan has been a member of Congress, chair of the House Budget Committee, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, GOP vice presidential nominee, and now – departing speaker.

While speculation has swirled about his future in early 2018, Ryan has been out raising millions and millions of dollars for his Republican colleagues as they faced the prospect of a blue wave hitting in November.

At the same time, many members of the House Republican caucus have decided they won’t run for re-election – a message to political observers that the prospects of holding onto the House majority are fleeting.

Now, Ryan joins that group of lame ducks.

The Janesville Republican, 48, announced April 11 that he won’t be running for re-election to his 1st District House seat, to which he was first elected in 1998. The district stretches from Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha in the east along the southern border to Janesville in the west. While the district has become more Republican through redistricting since 1998, Democrats were making Ryan a target. One of Ryan’s announced Democratic opponents, ironworker Randy Bryce, has been a national fundraising juggernaut.

Political insiders say Ryan would have faced his toughest re-election fight yet. And some conjured up scenarios that had him losing. Now, insiders say Ryan’s decision leaves his Republican-leaning district in danger of going to Democrats and the Republican House majority in danger of going bye-bye.

One top Dem consultant says, “Ryan quitting will hurt turnout. (The Republican) base is already depressed and divided.’’

But Ryan, in a Washington, D.C. press conference, said he didn’t think his decision would affect other House races.

“If we do our jobs as we

are, we’re going to be fine as a majority. …We are going to have a great record to run on,” Ryan said, citing major bills passed by the House on taxes and military readiness. “I’m not done yet. I intend to run to the tape.’’

He said entitlement reform remains undone. In answer to a question about the estimates of soaring deficits to come, Ryan praised the House for passage of a bill reining in entitlements.

But he noted the Senate, also controlled by Republicans, failed to pass it.

“Of course, more work needs to be done, and I’m going to keep fighting for that,” he said.

Ryan said he has no regrets and that being speaker, something he took on reluctantly as a unifier for House Republicans after the departure of John Boehner, was one of the two greatest honors of his life.

The other honor was being a husband and father, he said, referring to his teenaged children and his being a “weekend Dad.’’ What next for Ryan? He still could have a political future.

Political observers have often talked his potential as a candidate for president.

But Donald Trump’s takeover of the GOP and the decline of establishment Republican Party principles such as free trade and deficit control have put him out of favor with some conservatives. And his reluctance to denounce Trump directly has hurt his standing with independents.

Time away from the burdens of the speaker’s office and dealing with a chaotic White House could help Ryan regain his footing, recover from his sagging poll numbers and find a new political future.

What do you have planned for Earth Day? I hope your doing something out of the ordinary, something you can be proud of! Let’s keep Earth Day rolling and adopt a few new habits that are easier on the earth. A healthy planet takes work. It takes time and effort and attention, not just on the one day designated for displaying it, but the other 364, too. Here’s a quick list of ways to ensure that this year, Earth Day doesn’t become a one-off.

Make it a beginning, instead of a celebration Calling something a celebration often indicates a sense of success and achievement – Earth we’ve done it! Mission accomNotes plished! But anyone familiar with environmental issues Jen Barton knows that we are far, far from reaching the point where we can declare climate change solved or pollution stopped. Instead, environmentalism needs to be an ever-evolving process, and what better time to begin? This year, create a beginning.

Whether it’s in your home or in your office, set a meeting, brainstorm initiatives, preach to everyone you meet about an issue important to you, influence some kids, and create positive environmental change that will last all year round.

Team up Creating change can be tough at the best of times and near-impossible if you live or work with others who aren’t on the same page as you are. Earth Day is the perfect time to capitalize on good intentions and rally the troops to commit to the cause. Pledge to create change together, ask for support on environmental initiatives and ask for their input and ideas as well.

DRESSER— At a campaign kick-off event on Thursday night, Gae Magnafici, the Republican candidate for the State 28th Assembly District, kicked off her campaign to a standing room only crowd.

Guests joining Magnafici at her event included current State Representative, Adam Jarchow, and former State Representative, Erik Severson, who have both publicly endorsed her candidacy. Magnafici also introduced Sgt. Brent Waak, the Republican candidate for Polk County Sheriff, and Joanne Ritten, the interim Polk County Clerk of Courts. In addition, she had an opportunity to meet more than 70 guests who came out to hear her speak and help her raise campaign funds.

Magnafici is originally from the Amery area.

She grew up on a small farm near Deronda,

Keep it going Each day, wake up with the same earth-saving, climate-protecting, carbon-reducing goals in mind, and find a way to do better, do more, and do different. Earth Day can’t be just one day. It’s not just that it’s not enough – which it isn’t – it’s that marking this solitary day allows us to become complacent and self-congratulatory. It allows us to check off the box marked “care about the earth” and move on to the next one on the list, feeling proud of ourselves. Anyone else see a problem here? Contact Jen with questions about recycling, hazardous waste management, or anything else environmentally related. We will get it figured out together!

graduated from Amery High School and received a degree in Applied Science from Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, Ill. She later became a registered nurse working in the healthcare field until retiring in 2017. Magnafici currently lives outside Dresser with her husband, Tom. Her professional experience in the healthcare industry gives Magnafici a special understanding of the rising costs of healthcare in Wisconsin, as well as a concern about the out of control abuse of opioid drugs. She intends to use her extensive knowledge and experience to help Wisconsin continue to be a leader in healthcare innovation, cost savings, and addiction recovery.

Webster Village Board honors Spafford

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Former Webster Police Chief Mike Spafford poses with the Village Board after being honored with a plaque for serving the Webster community for over three decades.

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

As soon as the Webster Village Board meeting was called to order former Webster Police Chief Mike Spafford was honored for his 32 years of service with a plaque presented by Village President Jeff Roberts.

“Thank you very much,” Spafford said. “I really appreciate it.”

Joe Cremin and Sarah McLain of Starwire attended the meeting to renew their contract and were hoping to

add utility poles and a few antennae.

“We’re looking at adding probably two (antennae) now with a potential of six total,” Cremin said.

He added that these utility poles with antennae will produce better speeds throughout Webster.

McLain said that Starwire’s first option is always to use existing structures, like Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company poles.

Interim Police Chief Chris Sybers said after the meeting that he wanted to clarify his

new role with the village.

“I will not be up in Webster patrolling or anything of that nature,” Sybers said.

“This is purely an administrative role.”

Sybers added that most of this new role will be done over the phone and email.

Bill Summer gave the board a brief update on the Fat Fish 40 race at the meeting.

Village Trustees Sarah Casady, Kelsey Gustafson and Greg Widiker were all sworn in to serve another term on the Village Board.

All three ran unopposed in the spring election.

Before the meeting went into closed session members were invited to get a look at the Village’s new lawn mower and UTV.

Board members went out to the utility shed to check out the Village’s new lawnmower equipped with spoiler and trash bucket.

Shell Lake man dies in fatal crash in Town of Dewey On Friday, April 13, 2018 at 5:39 p.m., the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a structure fire at 24032 Poquette Lake Road in the Town of Dewey. This area is located about seven miles southwest of Spooner. Upon arrival, emergency responders discovered a pickup truck that appeared to have left the roadway and caught fire upon crashing; igniting a nearby pole building.

Initial investigation indicates that the driver had been eastbound on Lakeview Church Road and failed to stop at a stop sign; crossing Poquette Lake Road before striking a tree, overturning and catching fire. The driver and lone occupant of the 2002 Ford truck, Kody M. Pettis, 21, of Shell Lake was pronounced dead at the scene by the Burnett County Medical Examiner; autopsy results are pending at this time. The pole building and its contents were determined to be a total loss.

The Shell Lake Fire Department, St.Croix-Hertel Fire Department and North Memorial Ambulance also responded to this incident.

No further information will be released at this time; investigation and crash reconstruction continues by the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office.

In the team event, Grantsburg’s second team scored the highest for the ten small schools attending, but the rules clearly state that only the first team can win a trophy. So the hardware goes to Shell Lake and Northwestern, but the Grantsburg second team has bragging rights as they outscored all the small schools including Grantsburg’s first team.

Teams attending this year were Ashland, Barnum, Birchwood, Bruce, Cloquet, Frederic, Grantsburg, Hayward, Northwestern, Osceola, Rice Lake, Siren, Shell Lake, Superior, Washburn and William M. Kelley.

ing devices. Devices such as laptops and tablets tend to slow down with age and become less efficient as learning tools.

Several of the iPads in use by the school currently are unable to run all the apps the students use.

Purchases would include laptops for the incoming freshman class, ruggedized Chromebooks for the Middle School and iPad replacement for the Elementary School.

Replaced equipment would be redistributed in the District, replacing even older technology. These expenditures are budgeted for in the Assigned Fund Balance Budget and the total is approximately $110,000.00. The Board approved this expenditure.

LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg School Board paused briefly from their routine business to honor a retiring Board Member and to welcome a new one.

Jensen retires A small reception in honor of retiring School Board member Cindy Jensen headed the meeting Monday night. Jensen has been a School board member since 1999. Grantsburg’s Superintendent, Dr. Joni Burgin, noted, “Nineteen years, that’s a whole generation of kids.

That’s quite a legacy.”

Board President Dave Dahlberg said, “She has done a tremendous job on the School Board. I’ve really appreciated her perspective on things, and how she is free with her opinion.”

Renae Rombach, who was elected as Jensen’s replacement, said of Jensen, “she is a highly respected part of the community and Grantsburg has been fortunate to have her serve on the board.” (from Rombach’s campaign profile).

Jensen said of her time with the Board, “It’s been a joy. I’ve learned a lot.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS Congress attendees want $5 fee to use public land

MADISON — A majority of outdoor lovers who attended the Conservation Congress’ spring hearings say legislators should impose a user fee on state properties.

The congress asked attendees at its spring hearings Monday if they would support a $5 fee on state land, fishery, wildlife and natural area users between ages 16 and 64. The congress says the fee could generate more than $3 million to help maintain the properties.

A majority of hearing attendees in 49 counties said yes. A majority in 22 counties said no.

The congress also asked hearing attendees if legislators should end the group hunting law, which allows a member of a hunting party to kill a deer and place another party member’s tag on it. A majority of attendees in 64 counties rejected the idea.

Infrastructure committee begins discussion about 2019 Government Center projects JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

County Administrator Nate Ehalt compiled a list of ten different projects that could potentially be a part of the 2019 budget for future projects.

These include modernizing the Government Center’s atrium to make it more welcoming and informative to the public, and modernizing the county board room. Also on the list is remodeling the airport terminal, putting in a physical fitness space for employees, and creating more storage space for the Sheriff Department’s evidence.

“These are vague, and they are vague on purpose,” Ehalt said. “I have my priorities and what I think we should do, but I’m going to hold off on that until next month.”

Ehalt said the list was compiled from suggestions from county staff and supervisors. He said that defining what the committee feels as important will

lead to a very lengthy conversation and that should not take place until all members of the committee have had time to review the potential projects.

Committee members were instructed to come up with a top three list and the discussion will continue at next month’s infrastructure committee meeting.

Burnett County Highway Commissioner Michael Hoefs came to the committee to discuss selling a list of department equipment that he says they do not need any more.

“This is a list of equipment I’m hoping to part ways with,” Hoefs said.

The list is over 50 pieces of various highway department equipment including a grader, tractor with loader and a street sweeper.

Hoefs request was approved by the committee.

Two MSA Engineers introduced themselves to the committee. Ryan Falch and Justin Weiss said they are

Forestry trucks used for K-9 training JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Forestry Administrator Jake Nichols wasn’t happy before he found out that his department’s trucks had been used for K-9 training.

“I went in and noticed that the trucks were all scratched up and the doors were open,” Nichols said.

The Sheriff’s Department K-9 unit did some training with the forestry department trucks overnight last week.

Nichols added that he was a little upset at first.

“They called and apologized later that day,” Nichols said. “We had a conversation about letting us know, in the future, if they were going to use our building for training.”

Nichols said he did have some concerns about possible contraband, like illegal drugs, still being in the truck if the K-9 unit did not find it, during training.

“Imagine what the driver of the truck

Designed by: Dane Lozier Teacher: Ms. Haspert School: Grantsburg

would be thinking if that stuff was still in there,” said County Supervisor Gene Olson.

“If I’m the one responsible for the trucks then I’d like to know when they’re being used,” Nichols said.

The Natural Resources committee meeting was dominated by the Forestry and Parks department as they went through timber sale bid openings. The bids on the 11 tracts of land should bring in over $520,000. Six tracts up for sale did not receive any bids.

Before the meeting ended the committee noted that they received a letter from the Town of Swiss saying they were not in favor of having a county campground built. They said building a campground could have adverse affects on Carter’s Bridge Road and wanted to know why the county was trying to compete with all the other private campgrounds in the area.

The committee said they would address the county campground at their meeting next month on May 10.

planning to work on the second runway, named 5/23, at the county airport next year..

“We’re going over the plans now and looking at the tree clearing project,” Falch said. “The project is planned for the spring of 2019, dependent on funding for the project.”

Falch said the runway will be shut down for about two months. The primary runway will remain open during construction.

He added that the second runway is the third worst in the state and the material is “so bad that it cannot be re-used.”

The conversation shifted to what would be done with the gravel from the runway. Hoefs said his opinion was to grind it up and sell it.

Monthly Reports Chuck Shultz of the Airport Department said fuel sales have been very good. He said that $12,000 of fuel was

sold in March.

Maintenance Supervisor Gary Faught said his department made the necessary adjustments to the County Board room so it can be used as a court room.

Faught said they made about 10 feet of the large table moveable so it could accommodate what the judge was asking for.

“The judge was very happy with the results,” Faught said.

The committee accepted letters of retirement for two employees. Maintenance and grounds custodian James Zeiler and Highway department account clerk Cathy Ingalls.

Faught said that his department has a part-time worker that can fill Zeiler’s job.

Hoefs said that there is a forest and parks secretary that will be helping fill in when Ingalls leaves.

Siren Elementary students visit the State Capitol

SUBMITTED

Siren Elementary’s fourth grade class visited the State Capitol and Wisconsin Veterans Museum on their trip to Madison on March 28.

SIREN—On Wednesday, March 28, the Siren School fourth graders took their annual field trip to Madison. While in Madison, they visited the Wisconsin Veterans Museum and the Wisconsin State Capitol. This is a great field trip for the students as they are able to experience being visitors in another community, as well as learning about and seeing their State’s Capitol in person.

The trip is a memory that the students will have for a

lifetime. When they wrote about their day, the students had some great things to say! A number of them commented on how awesome it was to lay on their backs in the rotunda of the Capitol and look up at the mural on the dome. There were also a number of comments about how cool it was to see artifacts from wars at the Veterans Museum. Here are a few specific comments pulled from the fourth graders’ writing about their day:

“My favorite part was seeing the room with gold all around it.” -Jaxson D. “We went to the Veterans Museum, and I saw amazing sculptures and there was so much detail it was just amazing.” -Brooke S. “Our field trip to Madison was really fun because we learned about the history of wars.” -Bradon P.

Humane Society asks committee for one-time donation JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The Administration Committee met this week and heard a request for funds from the Humane society. They also approved a few requests from the Sheriff’s Department.

Humane society Peggy Tolbert of the Burnett County Humane Society came to the committee asking for a one-time donation of $25,000 to help with their remodel.

“It would be a nice bump for for us to have the county buy and show support for our new operation,” Tolbert said.

The humane society is in the process of remodeling the building at 7410 County Road D in Webster.

Members of the committee were reserved in giving the funds because of the long-term needs.

A suggestion was offered that every year each of the 21 municipalities in the county give $500 to the humane society.

That would produce $12,000 annually.

County Board Chair Don Taylor suggested that the committee table the potential donation until next month so

the members can look into the budget and see what works for both the county and the Humane Society.

County Supervisor Jeremy Gronski asked if Tolbert could bring future projections on costs and needs of the humane society.

County Administrator Nate Ehalt said that the consulting firm Carlson Dettmann, based in Madison, should be sending him a range of wages for the position based on the information and duties of the position.

The committee approved the position pending the salary range to be capped Sheriff’s Department at $25 an hour.

‘All the feedback we’ve got has been positive and welcoming.

“It’s a tough job,” Schmidt said. “It’s tough to fill and tough to retain. All the feedback we’ve got has been positive and welcoming. This is a nice start to help them out.”

The third and final item on the agenda for the Sheriff’s Department was the approval of purchasing new RMS/911 software. It was approved earlier in the week at the Infrastructure committee meeting and was quickly approved by the Administration committee. The total cost of the software will be $474,781 paid over five years out of the Capitol equipment fund.

•

•

In other items: The committee approved four weeks of paid paternity and maternity leave for county employees.

They also approved an in-service day for employees to catch up on paperwork or to participate in training exercises. The in-service day will be planned for a regular holiday, like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, when banks, postal offices and the courthouse is closed.

NOVEL IDEAS

STUDENT NEWS

CHRIS STUCKENSCHNEIDER BOOK EDITOR

When Author Natasha Boyd stumbled across information about a woman in history who became famous for growing indigo, she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to write about her life.

That’s how “The Indigo Girl” came to be. It is an engrossing historical fiction novel about Eliza Lucas (17221793), a South Carolina woman who, at 16, was tasked with managing the family’s plantations when her father was summoned to Antiqua, where the family previously resided.

Eliza is independent and headstrong, less interested in balls, pretty dresses and “attracting suitors” than being outdoors, her interest in botany fed thorough planting and harvesting, an interest that began in Antiqua because of her association with Ben, a slave who was a childhood friend.

With her brothers away in England getting their education, Eliza’s Papa has little choice but to turn over the care of his land to his daughter, a tremendous responsibility if the plantations were doing well, but an even greater challenge when they are mortgaged.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Eliza calls upon Sarah, a surly plantation slave who Eliza rescues from an abusive master, to teach

her how to raise indigo for the dye the plants produce. Eliza hopes indigo will make the plantations financially viable.

One can’t help but have empathy for Eliza as trouble batters her. She is a woman ahead of her time in a world dominated by men, and has a mother who judges her harshly. Eliza also worries about the risks of growing indigo, without anyone she can trust to help her, other than Sarah, and her beloved Sam, who comes to the Lucas plantation with his owner Cromwell, a cruel and heartless man.

Sam’s presence causes conflict for Eliza because of her deep feelings for him, which sets people to talking. Eliza also suffers recrimination because she teaches her family’s slaves to read, which is against the law.

To further complicate Eliza’s emotional stress, she doesn’t understand the affection she has for Charles Pinckney, a married man whose wife is a dear friend of hers.

Eliza is an admirable and interesting character, faith-filled and courageous. She becomes even more flesh-and-blood-real because Boyd includes actual excerpts from her writing. Finish this well-written book and you’re sure to want to learn more about Eliza Lucas — an extensive bibliography will direct you.

SUBMITTED BY: JOAN SPENCER, DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AT COMMUNITY REFERRAL AGENCY

In Italy, in the 1990’s an 18-year-old girl was picked up by her married 45-year old driving instructor for her very first lesson. He took her to an isolated road, pulled her out of the car, wrestled her out of one leg of her jeans and forcibly raped her. Threatened with death if she told anyone, he made her drive the car home. Later that night she told her parents, they helped and supported her to press charges. The perpetrator was arrested and prosecuted. He was convicted of rape and sentenced to jail.

He appealed the sentence and it went to the Italian Supreme Court. Within days, the case against the driving instructor was overturned, dismissed and the perpetrator released. In a statement by the Chief Judge, he argued, “because the victim wore very, very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them, and by removing the jeans it was no longer rape but consensual sex”. Enraged by the verdict, the women in the Italian Parliament launched into immediate action and protested by wearing jeans to work.

This ultimately started Denim Day. Denim Day provides awareness and symbolizes protecting people against sexual assault. In support of Denim Day, Community Referral Agency (CRA) is encouraging other businesses to allow their employees to wear jeans to work if they each donate $5 to CRA’s Denim Day campaign.

Proceeds will be used to educate our communities on sexual assault awareness. It is encouraged to post a picture of your business participating in Denim Day to CRA’s Facebook page.

CRA has advocates available 24/7 to assist with crisis calls and is a temporary shelter for survivors of Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence and their children. For more information, please contact CRA at 715-825-4414. Their Crisis Line number is: 800-261-7233 and their Crisis Text Line is: 715-553-3359.

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

Cubby is a one-year-old male who is looking for a lap to warm and, at around 11 pounds, is a perfect size for the job. He’s a happy, friendly little guy best d described as light tan; like m many terrier mixes, his w wiry coat has a varie ety of colors that blend ttogether. And look at that llittle flop on the left ear!

C Cubby knows how to work a adorable. He can be a little sskittish when he first m meets someone new but w warms up quickly. He’s w working on mastering his Cubby h housebreaking skills right now, so he may need a little guidance from his new family. Although he’s not particularly food motivated, he is certainly young enough to learn lots of other things – like what fun toys can be. Cubby would love it if you came to meet him!

This place is going to the dogs. You heard it here, folks! HSBC is improving their adoption preparation programs. Want to spend time with a pup but can’t keep one full-time? Have a little extra love to give? Here are two ways to get your dog time in.

Currently, HSBC is running Sunday Funday, allowing the shelter dogs to play together in small groups. Playgroups help dogs learn proper social behavior, get some exercise, and have some fun!

These are so crucial to the dogs’ physical and mental health and is something the shelter wants to continue. The goal is to give each group 45 minutes of playtime, which is a total of 3.5 to 4 hours.

At least two humans are needed to supervise dog playgroups. These humans need to be familiar with how all breed types play, dog social cues, and don’t mind being outside. If that’s you, contact HSBC. We’d love you to referee Sunday Funday!

More of a couch potato? We’ve got a spot for you too. Sit with the pets and give them a break from their living spaces. With the completion of the cat space, the shelter was able to repurpose a room into a fun, relaxing space for adoption introductions and socialization. The meet and greet room includes a couch for people and pets to hang out together. A donated big screen TV and a DVD player are also in the room. It’s a much more home-like environment for people and pets to become acquainted.

It’s important for pets waiting for new homes to learn (or not forget) how to conduct themselves inside. Hang out with a couple while watching TV or working on your laptop; this helps them socialize and learn house manners. Keep track and remind them to potty outside. Encourage them to chill out. And, of course, there is always cuddle time for those who like that kind of thing.

Sign up for your downtime today!

MADISON—There were 0.9 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending April 8, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Heavy snow fell across the state on Tuesday night, halting manure spreading and other early fieldwork. Additional snow showers later in the week dropped anywhere from a trace to several inches of snow in many areas. Southern Wisconsin saw light snows that melted quickly, while the northern portions of the state remained buried under thick drifts.

Overnight lows dropped into the teens, keeping the ground frozen.

Reporters noted that overwintered crops were greening in a few areas but remain snow covered in most of the state.

Topsoil moisture supplies were rated two percent very short, 13 percent short, 75 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated two percent very short, 16 percent short, 75 percent adequate and seven percent surplus.

As of April 8, spring tillage was one percent complete statewide,

one percentage point behind last year but equal to the five-year average.

Oats planted were reported as one percent complete, three percentage points behind last year, and one point behind the five-year average.

Winter wheat was 48 percent in good to excellent condition statewide, up two percentage points from last week.

There were some reports that maple sap had stopped running in the northern part of the state.

‘Those were the days’ … Part 2

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

Five years ago, our spring sports season was much like it is this year ... snow, a little rain (not so much this year), cold temperatures, snow, cool temps, more snow … you get my drift (pun intended).

We decided then, as we did last week, to look back at notable stories and pictures (nostalgia) of the past 20 years or so.

I’ve tried to find athletes from all three schools we now cover, participating in the sports of the spring

Tigers win battle of ‘cats’

season … baseball, softball, track and golf. The years we looked at were 2013, 2008, 2003 and 1998.

Maybe in doing this, it’ll remind our athletes of today there was life, pride, effort, tears of joy and of sadness years prior to today. And it might take the remainder of us back to when we were younger of body (not necessarily heart and spirit), reminiscing of those accomplishments and of team camaraderie.

As was said on the old program, The Lone Ranger, let’s go back to “those thrilling days of yesteryear” and recall “Those were the days.”

Let’s play ball!

The final weeks of school. The biggest golf meets of the year.

Track and field contests that determine who’s going to state or not. Summer jobs.

There’s been a lot on the minds of Coach Rusty Helland’s ball players recently, but all that will soon change when the summer baseball season gets into full swing.

The Webster-Siren hardball team saw its first action of the year this past week by hosting a tournament Saturday and heading to the Metrodome in Minneapolis for a four team scrimmage on Memorial Day. “... we’ve had only a few together as a whole team (practices),” said head Coach Helland after Saturday’s 10-0 win over Cumberland. “We played pretty solid.”

The Tigers went on to lose the tournament capper to St. Croix Falls by a 6-3 margin, but picked

After beginning the season 1-2 and unable to score many runs, the Grantsburg softball team turned it on this past week, coming back from a tough 6-3 loss Thursday, to down Clear Lake 15-4 Friday, Turtle Lake 13-9 Monday and Luck 20-1 Tuesday.

To go along with the offensive wakeup, freshmen pitchers Tara Bonneville and Doni Jo Danielson have found their stride and have complimented each other well on the mound to keep opponents down.

“We’ve straightened some things out in the cages and we’re looking a lot better at the plate,” Assistant Coach Tom Rombach said after Thursday’s game.

Leading the Pirate offense have been a number of different players, but tablesetter Lindy Cave and Megan Swenson have provided plenty of opportunities for big hitters such as Michelle Rombach and Tracy Stewart to drive them in.

ELLSWORTH—The Webster Tiger baseball team defeated the Ellsworth Panthers by a 8-3 margin on April 3.

Tiger pitching held the Panthers scoreless until the sixth inning when Ellsworth got a single run and then in the eighth got two runs.

Webster got on the board in their half of the first with two runs on singles by Hunter Rosenbaum, Hunter Gustafson, Brad Sigfrids and Trenton Wols.

They added three in inning two. With one out, Owen Washburn singled, both Rosenbaum and Trevor Gustafson doubled, Jack Washburn sacrificed and Hunter Gustafson was hit by a pitch.

SUBMITTED

Hunter Rosenbaum picked up his first win of the year in his start against the Panthers. He pitched four innings, striking out five, giving up no runs with two hits.

After a scoreless third, two runs came across in the fourth. Rosenbaum singled, T. Gustafson was issued a base on balls, Washburn doubled one run in and H. Gustafson grounded the other across.

Innings five and six were blanks for the Tigers, but they added an insurance run in the seventh. With one out, Austin Spafford singled, stole second, and came home on a single by Owen Washburn.

Hunter Rosenbaum was the starting pitcher He game up two hits, no run, walked none and struck out five.

Jack Washburn finished up, allowing three runs on two hits, walking five and getting six K’s.

At the plate, Hunter Rosenbaum was three for five, Owen Washburn three for four (one RBI), with Trevor Gustafson and Jack Washburn getting two hits apiece. Gustafson had an RBI and Washburn had two.

The Tigers, as well as most of the state, await the time when playing conditions allow for the season to begin.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

19

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

For Better or Worse Why does my face feel cold? Oh, this is weird, I’m on the tile floor. Am I drooling? My lips are tingling. Why are people scrambling around me, touching me?

“You alright, son?” asked one of the four or five people surrounding me. I can’t see their faces, just their shoes, slacks and, what looks like white lab coats.

“Um, yeah? I think so.. I still wasn’t sure what I was doing on the floor. I looked past the feet and saw a row of beds across from me. I heard Jerry Springer, of all people, talking on the TV. This was weird.

“Can you sit up?” a female voice asked, tender but concerned.

I started moving and looked down at the ground for the first time. Blood.

It was all over the place, including my right arm. I panicked a little but also started to remember where I was.

“Where’s my wife?” I whispered.

“Where’s Renae?”

Things were starting to come together as I made my way to the edge of the bed and with the assistance of other people, all in white coats, I was lying on the bed I was just leaning against just a second ago. Or was it a minute ago? I have no idea.

Things were going just fine, I thought. This wasn’t my first rodeo. Renae and I were newly, newly married. Just out of college, she was in graduate school and I was schlepping suits at JC Penney in Davenport, Iowa. I didn’t even own a suit, yet here I was pretending to have a clue. Anyway, that’s a different story.

As with most newlyweds, we were so broke we couldn’t even pay attention, so we were willing to do strange things to make ends meet. In this case, we sold plasma. I made $35 per donation and she made $20 and we could do that three times a week, so that was quite a side hustle.

This visit, which turned out to be the last visit, was the most memorable $35 I ever made.

“Get him a Sprite or 7-Up, whatever you can find in the break room,” one of the techs said, “and some crackers.”

“Where’s my wife?” I asked again, just wanting her by my side to fulfill the whole sickness and health thing. I know I was there with her, we always did this together and I remember walking to the car after we finished giving this time and I looked down and was bleeding pretty good from the bandage covering my pierced vein. In fact, I was bleeding so bad it was streaming down my arm and we turned around and went back to the clinic to have it rebandaged and to rest for just a minute.

“We’ll find her for you, son, just rest for a minute and drink this ginger ale. You look a little rough.”

I remembered now, she was out in the lobby, just feet away from the room I was in with nine other people who suddenly found me more interesting than Jerry Springer.

When we had come back in from the parking lot the techs led me back into the room and I leaned against the end of a bed and imagined I looked a little like James Dean, just without the dangling cigarette, as they rebandaged me. Renae had grabbed a seat and her book and waited for me. She smiled at me through the doorway that separated us then turned her attention to her story.

The last thing I remembered before my unscheduled meeting with the tile floor was the panicked look of the gentleman in the bed across from me and the darkness that started in my peripheral vision but quickly enveloped took over everything and then, presumably SPLAT onto the floor.

Remember, Renae is facing the door, the door I’m now partially blocking with my 30 percent lifeless body. Four or five techs rush in right in front of her and start barking this and that trying to get me to come to and helping me to the bed again. Renae is oblivious. Must’ve been a good book.

Finally, about fifteen minutes later everything was back to normal. The bandage held, and the color came back to my face. I remembered everything.

I exited the room and found Renae contently reading her book.

“Hey, honey,” she said while finishing the paragraph she was still on, “why did that take so long?”

Now pretend that Renae is Spring and I am Winter. Winter can’t help what’s happened. Things were going alright.

Normal. Winter tried to leave. Then after realizing it left too early, it came back and tried to be chill. But then, without Spring even being aware of it, Winter went into full drama mode getting everyone all worked up and panicked when all Winter wants is for Spring to put down the dang book and do what she’s supposed to do!

‘Those were the days’ … Part 2 Dragons continue to turn heads

until they faced off against each other on Thursday, due to game cancellations and postponements.

And once they finally took the field, it was Frederic who walked away the winner, 18-0.

For their part, the Tigers got off to a shaky start. Both teams had only practiced outside three or four times prior to Thursday’s game and the rust was apparent, especially between pitcher Sheli Steiner and catcher Megan Staples.

“It was a rough game,” said Webster Coach Laurie Kriegel.

“The important thing is to learn from it. Our next game isn’t until after Easter break, so we have time to work things out and bounce back stronger.”

FROM APRIL 29, 1998 SENTINEL A lot of heads continue to nod in approval as they watch the Siren track and field teams perform against their opponents.

They keep on impressing and showing there’s some definite talent on these teams.

Even though seniors like Chris Engstrom, Courtney Emery and Andy Douglas are still the backbone to the Dragons’ success, names such as Molly Engstrom, Mandi Wondra, Jason Hagert, Troy Mengel and Nate D’Jock are all those that are big scorers today and ones you’ll be hearing about for a few years to come.

The Engstroms accounted for all four of Siren’s first places at Grantsburg, (two each) while Mengel leaped 16-7 1/4 in the long jump at Rush City and Coyour achieved his goal of running a five-minute mile at Grantsburg, only to come in second.

“That kind of stinks,” he said. “Now I have to pick another goal.”

Let their be softball FROM APRIL 16, 2003 SENTINEL It just wasn’t intended to happen like this.

By the time Webster/Siren and Frederic were to meet for the first time, both should have had a couple varsity games under their belt. But thanks to lingering winter conditions, neither team took the field

Thank You! Thank You! Despite the atrocious weather, our sale was a success! It takes a lot of hard work preparing for such an event. We’re certainly grateful that senior citizens aren’t afraid of hard work. It’s so much easier when it’s TEAM work. It takes our friends and family -- from physical donations to the helping hands setting up and working the floor.

Still haven’t figured out what are Prince Charles vegetables? While your pondering that. Anyone seen spring? We’re looking for some sunshine and I’ll settle for green (brown) grass too. Enough white fluff! Feels like winter is never- ending!

Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the BOR under state law (sec. 70.47(7)(aa), (ac), (ad), (ae) and (af), Wis. Stats.): If a person refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the Assessor to view his or her property, that person will not be allowed to appear before the BOR, to testify to the BOR by phone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property.

After the first BOR meeting and before the BOR’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the BOR may contact, or provide information to, a member of the BOR about that person’s objection except at a BOR session.

No person may appear before the BOR, testify to the BOR by phone or contest the amount of any assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the BOR or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed because the person has been granted a waiver of the 48hour notice of an intent to file a written objection by appearing before the BOR during the first two hours of the meeting and showing good cause for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and files a written objection, that person provides to the clerk of the BOR notice as to whether the person will ask for removal

of any BOR member and, if so, which member will be removed and the person’s reasonable estimate of the length of time that the hearing will take.

When appealing to the BOR, the person must specify, in writing, his or her estimate of the land value and improvements that he or she is objecting and the person must specify the information that he or she used to arrive at that estimate.

No person may appeal to the BOR, testify to the BOR by phone or object to a valuation; if that valuation was made by the Assessor or the Objector using the income method of valuation; unless the person supplies the Assessor all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the manual under state law (sec.

73.03(2a), Wis. Stats), that the Assessor requests. The Town of Grantsburg has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses provided to the Assessor under this paragraph and shall provide exceptions for persons using the information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their office or by order of a court.

The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under state law (sec. 19.35(1), Wis. Stats).

The BOR shall hear upon oath, phone testimony of ill or disabled persons who present to the BOR a letter from a physician, osteopath, physician assistant or advance practice nurse that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify by phone per town board decision.

Respectfully submitted, Town of Grantsburg Romey Nelson, Clerk/Treasurer WNAXLP (April 18)

Evidence that demands a verdict

Pastor George Selbher Grace Baptist Church

With the advent of awe-inspiring insights and understandings into the incredible complexities and mechanics of the human being, never before has there been such conclusive evidence that we are created by an Intelligent Designer. Consider these astonishing facts: (1) in our brains there are over 100,000 chemical reactions every second; (2) our DNA molecules unwound and placed end to end would stretch for 10 billion miles; (3) our endocrine system injects more than 100 different hormones directly into the blood stream to orchestrate an elaborate array of specific bodily functions; (4) in order for us to stop bleeding to death even from the smallest cut, there must be ten specific individual chemicals reacting in perfect succes-

sion for our blood to clot; (5) our eyes instantly take in a million simultaneous impressions and can tell the difference between eight million different colors; (6) our eyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; photo-chemistry is so fast that the first reaction in seeing takes place in one-fifth billionth of a second; (7) our hearts beat 100,000 times every 24 hours (2.8 billion beats in a lifetime) and daily pump 2000 gallons of blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels that feed 79 different organs and 200 different types of cells. We are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)!

These evidences scream of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative handiwork and call attention to the reality that we are made in His image (Genesis 1:27). As Creator, God saw that His creation was very

good (Genesis 1:31), but we, as His image bearers, rebelled against our Creator by choosing sin over obedience, enslavement over freedom, darkness over light, death over life, and our way over His (Genesis 3). Thankfully, God ultimately responded by sending Jesus to suffer and die in our place so that we could have one more chance to finally choose His way over ours. And believing by faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sin is the only way to know God, to become a brand new person in Jesus, and live forever with Him in heaven. Jesus is the only way to God, and even now as you read this column He is extending you an invitation to give your life over to Him (John 14:6). Choose wisely, for your time is short.

Child dies in fatal driveway accident

STACY COY | SENTINEL

Oops!

The roads were still tricky after the weekend snow storm as a garbage truck in Grantsburg was attempting to exit the inclined alley behind the US Bank building Monday morning. Anderson Auto was called in to help remove the truck after it slid backwards into the side of the building, causing very minor damage.

On Monday, April 16, 2018 at 10:02 a.m., the Polk County Dispatch Center received a phone report of a child run over by a vehicle in a private driveway who was currently being transported to the Osceola Medical Center by private vehicle.

Officers from the Osceola Police Department responded to the Osceola Medical Center and were told that the victim child, his mother and siblings had been at their neighbor’s residence on the 500 block of 280th Street in the Town of Farmington, in southern Polk County, when the 1 ½ year old child was struck by a vehicle being moved in the driveway so that the driveway could be snow plowed.

The driver of the vehicle, Arthur Elmquist, 54, Osceola, was moving a large panel van and did not see the child enter the driveway. The vehicle

is described as a 2003 Dodge Sprinter.

Based on statements of witnesses the child appeared to have been run over by the rear tires of the van as it was negotiating a circular driveway. Witnesses advised that the children were out playing in the snow at the time of the accident.

The child was transported to the Osceola Medical Center by private vehicle and then transported via air ambulance to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, MN. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office was later advised that the child had died due to the injuries sustained in the accident.

The victim child is now identified as Abraham Flynn, 1 ½, of rural Osceola.

The incident remains under investigation by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

Grant scam targets farmers

JONATHAN RICHIE | SENTINEL

Speed Tracker sign is back in Siren Drivers traveling west on Highway 70 into the Village of Siren will notice that the digital “Your Speed” sign has returned. The sign is disconnected during the winter because of electrical reasons.

MADISON—Wisconsin farmers are receiving telephone calls about supposed grants from the “Federal Crop Registry.” Call recipients are left a message with a phone number to call and are told they have three days to respond to the offer. If you receive this message, take no further action.

This operation appears to be a scam: • There is no “Federal Crop Registry” program.

• The number listed in the message is no longer in service.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will not call you and offer grant money. While the USDA does provide grants, you must apply for them in writing (typically online).

Government grant scams are common, with scammers calling consumers and offering free money through federal programs. Grant scammers generally follow a script: they congrat-

ulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can “deposit your grant directly into your account” or cover a one-time “processing fee.” The caller may even reassure you that you can get a refund if you are not satisfied.

You will never see the grant they promise; they will disappear with your money.
