Crews battle ﬁre overnight STAFF REPORT NEWS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

A fire at the Burnett Dairy Cooperative erupted on Monday night when eight crews were called to maintain the fire. The first calls for the fire began around 10:30 p.m. Crews were still battling the flames Tuesday morning

and State Road 70 remained closed to traffic from County Road Y to County Road M. There were no reported injuries from the fire. Initial reports suggest the fire was started after a mechanical malfunction at the dairy. Grantsburg, Siren, Webster and St. Croix Hertel Fire Departments were on the

scene along with Frederic, Cushing, Pine City and Rush City. On the scanner fire crews said they were able to enter the building around 1 a.m. and Tuesday morning the fire was still going but was under control. Burnett County Sheriff Tracy Finch said the fire re-

The board recommends following the three W’s; Wash hands, Wear masks and Watch distance.

The Large Scale Livestock Study (LSLS) committee is back in session after taking a couple of months off for COVID-19 and the county is not holding a number of meetings between March and June. Almost all meetings that have taken place have been on Zoom. The LSLS ad-hoc committee has often been referred to as the CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation) committee. They have been tasked with studying facilities with over 1,000 animal units, an issue that arose after a company submitted a partial application to the DNR for a hog CAFO in Trade Lake. They continued their educational series last week with information given on manure and ground water. Kevin Erb, Conservation Professional Development and Training Specialist with UW-Extension, gave a presentation on nutrient management plans and how applying manure can affect the landscape. Erb explained that about one-third of all manure application in Wisconsin is done by farmers and the other two-thirds are done by commercial spreaders. He said there are four keys to proper nutrient management plans and

spreading manure; right rate of material spread, the right timing of spreading, right placement and the right source. The right rate refers to how much material. The right timing deals with getting the material on the field when it will stay on the field and not be washed away the next day by rain and ground water. The right source and placement refers to the importance of the right type of material and the placement deals with knowing how ground water and surface water move on the field The other presenter during the meeting was Maureen Muldoon with the Hydrogeologist at Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey. Maldoon gave a brief explainer on ground water versus surface water. She also discussed the Burnett County water table and how most maps are rough estimates. She added that most of Burnett County has sandy and gravel soil which can be very susceptible to contamination. Maldoon said that most water is added to ground water numbers in the spring as the snow melts. She reiterated what Erb stressed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the timing of application is key for healthy soil and water.

Parenting is one of the hardest and most important jobs anyone can do. Every stage along the way brings more questions and difficult choices. Yet, honest conversations about the challenges of parenting are rare – especially when a parent or child is struggling. That is where parenting groups come in. Are you looking for resources to support your role as a parent, grandparent, or caregiver? Have you wanted to connect with others and share ideas and seek support for challenges in doing so? ICAA’s Prevention Services has a great opportunity for you: a new parenting group called Family Ties. Family Ties is a virtual discussion group of parents, grandparents, and caregivers with common life situations, experiences, and challenges who meet weekly to share information, strategies, and resources as well as provide parenting support to one another. Once registered, group participants also receive a username and password for free access to a website that contains a variety of resources for those who care about the children in their lives. Family Ties is available to anyone in Burnett, Clark, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor, or Washburn counties. Participants can choose their level of involvement in the program by joining the virtual discussion each week, accessing resources on the website, or a combination of the two. In addition, a Family Ties newsletter is distributed monthly to registered participants. Some of the Family Ties resources and topics include: • Healthy lifestyles • Substance use prevention in the family • Ages and stages of child development • Talking to our kids and grandkids • Supporting traumatized children • Grandparents and grandkids together • Grandparenting from a distance: how to connect with your grandkids and support them • Co-parenting when you are no longer a couple • Violence in the family • Other, participant-generated discussion topics/ resources • Special topics from various, virtual presenters with a variety of backgrounds For more information about Family Ties, please contact us at 715.532.4222 or visit www.indianheadcaa. org.

What you see isn’t always what you get

ill Gates once said, “Nobody believes in completely unadulterated capitalism.” Gates is one of many who have discussed capitalism and the waxing and waning it goes through over time. Since Gates is a person who has done fairly well with capitalism, what with the whole Microsoft thing, I would take anything he says with more than a grain of salt. My issue with capitalism this week is with food packaging. In this field, potato chips are the worst and ice cream is perfect. That’s right! I’m back to talk about food. This is another column where I talk about one of my favorite things intertwined with one of my least favorite things – food is the former and faulty packaging is the latter. American capitalism is something I go back and forth on. Sentinel Is it the best system? Maybe. Merriam-Webster defines capitalism Editor as an economic system characterized Jonathan Richie by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods determined mainly by competition in a free market. Where does the food come into this? Right here. I was sweating bullets (not actual ammunition, but I was hot) the other day when I realized I wanted some ice cream. So, I got in the Buick and went to the store and bought a container of Butterfinger ice cream. It comes with bits of the Butterfinger candy bar and some caramel added to make it even better. This tub of ice cream was full to the brim of that luscious goodness. As great as the way that tub of ice cream was filled, potato chips are the polar opposite. How many times have you opened a bag of potato chips to see that most of the bag is air? Corporations say there is nitrogen gas added to the bags to keep them fresh. Here’s an idea, how about fewer preservatives so that nitrogen doesn’t need half of the bag for itself? That is why I like buying potatoes and hot dog buns. That’s how all packaging should be – see-through. Now that I’m here, I’ll give you a rough outline of other food product packaging. M&Ms and Skittles are in the same boat with potato chips, however, not nearly as egregious. Sometimes you get the standard amount of candy and sometimes you get shorted a few pieces. But when I got with the Butterfinger ice cream, I knew it was the most supreme packaging, the cold wonderfulness that is a full tub of ice cream. It is full to the top. It even appears to be overfilled a bit, and there some ice cream on the lid. I’m always disappointed when I open a bag of BBQ chips, but I am always delighted when I open a new tub of ice cream. Hey Bill Gates, could you and your wife take a look at truth in chip packaging when you have a chance? I might even be willing to overlook that whole scam of packaging Internet Explorer as the default browser with Windows if you could just make this right. Then, and only then would I know that capitalism is the best.

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.

CAPITOL REPORT

Fifty-two ‘gap-ﬁling’ exemptions the latest in biofuels debate

The EPA Small Refinery Exemptions update in mid-June shows the agency was considering 52 exemption petitions for Renewable Fuel Standard compliance in a big chunk of the 2010s – actions that could hurt a Wisconsin ethanol industry just beginning to come back from a pandemic-induced hit. Wisconsin is front and center on these discussions with nine ethanol plants producing 583 million gallons a year and more than 200 sites selling E15, including Kwik Trip. Neal Klemmet is the president and general manager of Ace Ethanol in Stanley and Fox River Valley Ethanol in Oshkosh. He said he’s wary about the exemptions’ potential impact on the industry after such a tough run with the pandemic. Chris Bliley, senior vice president of regulatory affairs with Growth Energy said this is an effort on the oil refineries’ part to circumvent the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit’s January ruling. The Tenth Circuit ruled in favor of The Biofuels Coalition to overturn and reconsider three ethanol exemptions for refineries, writing that the EPA wrongfully granted the petitions. The Renewable Fuel Standard requires oil refiners and gasoline and diesel importers to mix biofuel volumes based on a percentage of its petroleum product sales or buy credits from those that do. In order to be exempt from volume obligations or purchasing credits, the

refineries have to demonstrate disproportionate economic hardship. Bliley argued that the court’s decision clearly showed the EPA had misused its authority in granting the petitions. “We’ve been pushing to have them apply the Tenth Circuit nationally, immediately and really narrow their use for the exemptions,” he said. “These 52 are clearly an attempt to make an end-run around that decision. Oil refineries are trying to basically undercut the RFS with these gap year filings.” The small oil refiners’ petitions also are called gap-filings” or “gap year” exemptions. Growth Energy estimates if the 52 exemptions are granted by the EPA, it would cut over 2.4 billion gallons of ethanol demand. “It has potential for real impact here,” Bliley said. “I think that’s why we’re so concerned. From 2016 through 2018, we saw more than 4 billion gallons of demand waived from the RFS from EPA’s misuse of these small refinery exemptions.” However, the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers argue that the refining industry is too critical to the nation’s economy and energy security to be burdened with compliance costs of the RFS. “The sector’s health and capacity – which is an economic anchor for entire states and regions – is threatened by growing RFS mandates and

compliance costs that have hit two-year highs in the midst of an historic economic downturn,” AFPM said. “The time for EPA to invoke its general waiver authority and reduce RFS regulatory costs is now.” When driving demand went down substantially in April and May, that’s when ethanol took the largest hit. Ace Ethanol was running at 25 percent capacity and Fox River went down for about three months. Fox River Valley Ethanol just started grinding again on Monday. According to Bliley, half of the nation’s ethanol industry was offline with COVID-19 impacting fuel demand, bottoming out in April at a 48 percent cut to production. “The industry has fallen upon hard times for sure, but we’re starting to see signs of recovery,” Klemmet said. “We’ve got a long way to go, certainly the first part of the year was significantly bad, there were a lot of financial losses.” A slump in ethanol production impacted a lot of industries. The carbon dioxide captured during production is used for soda, beer and dry ice for refrigeration. Wisconsin businesses that use carbon dioxide ended up paying higher prices to bring it in from further away. In addition, less Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles – a byproduct of making ethanol used as animal feed – went to market. Because of that, animal agriculture had to substitute feed ration ingredients, which

in turn increased costs. Bliley warned that more waivers on ethanol blending will result in more supply chain disruption and higher prices at the pump as ethanol has traditionally been less expensive than gasoline. “The hit on demand really goes to this point: you’re reducing a market for agriculture and you’re reducing the ability for these plants to meet some of the associated co-products demand as well,” he said. Today ethanol is still down some 18 percent. Bliley noted that the Department of Energy still predicts the industry will be down about 1 billion gallons next year. “While we were hopeful that April was sort of the rock bottom on impact on fuel demand, it’s going to take through next year to recover,” he said. “This is a longer-term issue for us.” Klemmet told WisBusiness. com his plants will grind 10 million fewer bushels of corn this year than last year and 40,000 fewer tons of carbon dioxide. “That has a very negative impact on the (corn) farmers,” he said. “Putting less quality feed value on the market has had a negative impact on our dairy farmers as well.” Lawmakers nationwide have been drafting bipartisan letters for and against the 52 retroactive blending exemption petitions. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison was one of 16 U.S.

Senators to sign a letter to the EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler on June 25 asking to reject the petitions. U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-La Crosse signed a letter with 31 other Members of Congress to President Donald Trump in rejection of the exemptions on July 2. Biofuel trade organizations, such as Growth Energy are working with congressional representatives to see if ethanol can get an aid package approved if a fourth round of coronavirus stimulus goes through. “We would be looking for help in much the same way many other industries are looking for help to get their businesses through what’s been a terrible 2020 for everyone in the United States,” Klemmet said. In the meantime, he said the industry is asking the EPA to “follow the law.” “They need to deny these gap year waivers – they’re ridiculous,” he said. “Follow the ruling by the Tenth Circuit Court and enforce the laws that are on the books.” The Capitol Report is written by editorial staff at WisPolitics.com, a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics, and is distributed for publication by members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

Taking action on broadband access SENATOR PATTY SCHACHTNER

I, like many of you, struggle with the consequences of insufficient broadband access in my home and when I am out in the community. The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare what we already know, high-speed broadband is critical to northwestern Wisconsin’s economy, both during this crisis and as we work to recover. It is not acceptable that so many of us are left behind in this economy because of no fault of our own, but simply because of the lack of access to a basic service in the beautiful part of Wisconsin we call home. As the pandemic took hold this spring, many employers, our local schools, and medical providers all shifted to virtual models to help reduce the impacts of the pandemic. This crisis only highlighted how important this access is to our lives. This is why I am proud to be a voice for northwestern Wisconsin on the Governor’s Taskforce on Broadband Access. During my time in the Senate I have worked to improve internet access in our communities. Back in January I introduced the Fiber to Farms bill that would have created an incentive for internet service providers to extend their fiber optic lines to farms across rural Wisconsin. Similarly, the taskforce is charged

with researching and recommending policies and initiatives that will meet the state’s broadband goals and needs, promote strategic expansion and adoption around the state, especially in rural areas, and develop solutions with key stakeholders and experts. This effort will result in an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature laying out real, practical solutions to finally get this work done to meet the challenges of our 21st century economy. I hear from people every day about how the lack of access to high speed internet impacts their lives. Modern rural agriculture depends on the internet to operate efficiently and connect with markets here in Wisconsin and all over the world. According to the Federal Communications Commission 2020 Broadband Deployment Report, in rural areas of our state 26.7% of Wisconsin residents lack access to at least one broadband service. Investing in rural broadband projects could help close the digital divide, create new jobs, improve our education systems, and open up our local communities to an abundance of new opportunities. I am looking forward to working with a diverse group of stakeholders to research and develop recommendations to expand essential broadband access in Wisconsin. As

we begin our work, I encourage you to connect with me to share your views by calling my office at (608) 266-7745 or reach me by email at sen.schachtner@ legis.wisconsin.gov.

State Senator Patty Schachtner proudly represents Wisconsin’s tenth senate district with 178,250 constituents. The district covers parts of Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix counties.

Yoopers for a week AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, The Canadian border is closed to non-essential travelers/crossing. Ever since 1982 I have flown to Shultz Lake from Red Lake, Ontario with family and friends for seven days of fishing and good times. We have a revolving crew, meaning every other year for half our guys, we had to figure something out in the U.S., and we found a really cool place to stay in a great area. Timbers Resort on Lake Gogebic, near Bergland in the upper peninsula of Michigan would be our home for a week and folks I have to tell you, Tim and Sarah Long run a great place to stay, everything works, it’s clean and peaceful. (fishhuntstay@timbersresort.com) Saturday, July 4 High 93, low 67 One of the unique things about this trip is that all eight of us- Jeff Moll, Dick Schuster, Trent Schuster, Roger Frank, Gary Gray, Mike Walters, Tom Walters and myself, went to Poynette High School. Three of the guys that are not relatives have always been buddies with either Tom, Mike or myself and Trent is Dick’s son and my nephew. We have a deer camp together, duck camp, go on ice fishing trips and do the Canada thing. Like our group, this ten-cabin resort had other groups that in all honesty hoped to be in Canada but are fully aware that still having a good time together is always an option. My brother Tom received the award for traveling the furthest which is Denham Spring, Louisiana. But Timbers Resort had groups from Indiana, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Indiana and some truly world class fishermen. So, here is the rough news, the night before we arrived there was a major Mayfly hatch and that with several days in the 90s put a serious hurting on the fish bite. We fished out of three boats and put in about 7-10 hours a day per person. Our goal was to do well on

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

walleye with a major side goal being to harvest a few of what I feel is the largest body size perch anywhere in the Midwest. Our techniques were using planer boards, which are not popular with some of the guys. Drifting with leeches and crawlers, when there was enough wind, using slip bobbers and anchoring and fishing for bluegill. For the most part we switched partners with regularity and after day two all we could do was hope that the fish were going to start to bite. What was really cool is that even though it was the weekend of the 4th of July on Michigan’s largest inland lake, there was hardly any boat traffic and everyone that you did see was very polite. Once we realized that at least for the time being the fish bite was not happening we started doing a lot of porch time, which in reality is a good share of the reason that we were doing this trip. In other words, whosever day it was to cook, would cook for the gang and in the middle of the day the rest of us would sit on the porch, have some beverages, and laugh a lot. For the most part we would fish the last three hours of the day and after dark we would play “mess with your neighbor” which is a very fun card game. Gary Gray is four years older than me and as a kid always thought of me as Mikey’s snot nosed younger brother. In that game Gary destroyed me and loved doing it! One night Jeff Moll was super crazy as he always is late in the evening and the following morning he cooked his “group meal.” We should have called the Bergland fire department because he forgot about it, then served the charred remains to seven guys that all of the sudden were not very hungry. The fishing really was slow, but we were all wise enough to know that it was just a period of time and on the last day I fished with Roger Frank. Roger and Julie Frank just created a vacation home at Pine Cove Resort on Castle Rock Lake. Roger wanted to learn how to use planer boards and we had our best day of fishing, catching walleye, perch and crappie. Adventures like this do not always work out exactly as you dream but I will return to Gogebic and when the Canadian border opens, I will be back to Shultz lake. It was cool to see so many people relaxing on their porches! Sunset.

Most of us know that summer is not the best time to take your pets along when doing errands. As things heat up around the home, here are some things to consider to keep your furry friends healthy and happy. • Pets are closer to the ground, so their bodies can heat up more quickly from the radiant heat than their upright friends from the radiant heat. Asphalt can quickly burn sensitive paws. Minimize exercise when the temps soar or go just after sunrise Briscoe or just before sunset when temperatures are cooler. • Animals with flat faces (like Pugs or Persian cats) do not pant as efficiently as their longnosed cousins and overheat quickly. Old, overweight, and very young pets also heat up faster than fitter adults. • Outside pets should have fresh water and access to shade at all times. Better yet, have them hang out in the AC or in front of a fan inside! • Know the signs of overheating: excessive panting or difficulty breathing, drooling, weakness, confusion, or collapse can point to impending heat stroke. Immediate care includes bathing in cool water, feeding ice cubes along with cool water, and calling your vet. Heatstroke can damage internal organs! This week’s hot dog is Briscoe! He is a handsome, two-and-a-half-year-old hound mix who found HSBC as a stray. Mostly black with some grey ticking on his paws and chest, this 50-ish pound guy is a gentle soul who likes a bit of space at first greet. Once he knows you, watch out! Briscoe loves all the pets and ear rubs you want to dish out—he thinks he is a lapdog! This chatty guy would love to bingewatch your favorite shows with you; he won’t even ask for the remote! Last week to get in on the Bark and Wine Silent Auction-Safer at Home edition! Wander over to the HSBC Facebook page to see the items up for bid. There are still several unique and useful items needing new homes. Bidding ends Sunday. Good luck! HSBC information—7410 County Road D, PO Box 621, Webster, WI 54873. Telephone: 715-3492368.

Dairy Fire still burning Tuesday morning

CULLIGAN HAS THE SOLUTION

Firefighters from across the county and across the region have been outside of the Burnett Dairy Cooperative since Monday night around 10 p.m. when employees noticed smoke. The employees were able to all exit the facility safely before the fire got out of control. As firefighters battled the flames, law enforcement closed State Road 70 to all non-essential vehicles. There were no visible flames on Tuesday morning when the Sentinel arrived on the scene. However, there was still a large plum of smoke emitting from the building.

I passed the card rack at Burnett Dairy and oh boy, I started laughing. I’ll probably get a few eyebrows from this but, one card had a picture of two elderlies sitting on a bench. The one said to the other, “My bum fell asleep.” The other said, “I can tell, I could hear it snoring.” I about fell over laughing, but then I got to thinking about what happens when a part of the body falls asleep…. fact is, it just doesn’t work

Help Your Economy

Spending locally gives your neighbors a boost

STATS

52% OF REVENUE IS RECIRCULATED LOCALLY BY INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES

A 2012 study in Salt Lake City, Utah showed that more than half of local, independent retailers’ revenue is recirculated in the local economy. In comparison, less than 14 percent of national chain stores’ revenue was recirculated locally, the study showed. By keeping more money close to home, the smaller, locally based firms can play a big role in growing your local economy.

hen you shop at a local store and keep your money close to home, you’re not only helping that one retailer. You’re giving your entire local economy a shot in the arm.

MORE MONEY STAYS HERE

It’s obvious that spending money at a local store helps that business directly. You can see your money go into their cash register, after all. But what really makes your local spending powerful is what you can’t see: the multiplier effect. Scientists who study how money moves through an economy have discovered that spending a dollar actually has more than a dollar’s worth of impact on the local economy. Your dollar is used to pay for wages and to help the business purchase products and services from other local vendors. Increasingly, studies are showing how locally owned businesses have a bigger multiplier effect than chain stores on the local economy. They’re more likely to keep their profits in town and spend them on local wages and with local suppliers.

into local banks. Those banks are, in turn, turning those dollars into a variety of things to help other members of your community. Loans are paid out and allow individuals the ability to pursue their dream of being a homeowner, purchase a new car, or even pursuing higher education. Though it may be difficult to see the impact this economic circle has on your local community at the moment, one’s children may be able to see it clearly a decade down the road.

it in town. If that profit leaves town — goes to shareholders or out-of-town executives, for example — then that money won’t likely find its way back into your own neighborhood. Instead, it is reinvested into the large conglomerates to build more stores in other communities across the nation or world. Patronizing small mom-and-pop shops is a great way to keep the money that is spent by customers and made by business owners in a community.

KEEP PROFITS IN TOWN Also, if a company is headquartered out of town, that’s where the profit is sent. You want to keep that prof-
