WEBSTER––Last week, the Webster Village Board approved an ordinance that will allow golf cart traffic on certain roads within the village.

The motion carried with no opposing votes and people can

begin the registration of their golf carts starting next week, Aug. 21.

All golf carts must first be inspected by Police Chief Stephenie Wedin and they must pay the annual $25 registration fee and keep a copy of their registration form in or on the golf cart at all times.

NEWS 715-463-2341 editor@burnettcountysentinel.com

PRIMARY RESULTS: Evers emerges from crowded field to seal up Democratic party nomination for Governor, will face Walker in November CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Sybers’ largest victory was in the Village of Siren and Bybee had his biggest victory in the Town of Trade Lake, according to the unofficial count released by the County Clerk’s office.

The official count will take place later this week when the Burnett County canvass takes place at the government center.

Although she was not on the ballot, Finch received well over 100 write-in votes spanning multiple parties.

Jacqueline O. Baasch won the Democratic primary for Clerk of Court receiving 909 votes and will be running unopposed in the fall election.

GOVERNOR’S RACE Tony Evers won the Dem-

ocratic primary in the Governor’s race. He is the state’s superintendent of public instruction and has held the office since 2009.

Evers told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “We’re going to win because we’re going to hold Scott Walker accountable for his reign of terror,” after the Associated Press had confirmed him as the winner.

Evers beat out the crowded field of eight candidates and will be taking on incumbent Gov. Scott Walker in November. Walker easily defeated challenger Robert Meyer in the Republican primary.

In Burnett County, Evers collected 339 votes and State Senator Kathleen Vinehout collected the second most across the county with 149 votes.

VUKMIR BEATS NICHOLSON Leah Vukmir won the Republican primary in the U.S. Senator race. She will be challenging incumbent U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin who ran unopposed in the Democratic primary.

“I am the fighter Wisconsin needs. I’m a middle-class nurse and mom-with-a-cause who is here because of circumstance, not ambition,” Vukmir said after her victory. “I know we can bring our Wisconsin victories to Washington, and that’s the message I will take across the state this fall.”

Vukmir’s top opponent was Kevin Nicholson. Out of the five candidates, Nicholson received the most votes in Burnett County with 781 votes, while Vukmir received 581 and the other three combined for

613 votes.

Margaret Engebretson beat Brian Ewert in the Democratic primary for U.S. Congress in the 7th District. Engebretson will be taking on Republican incumbent Sean Duffy in the general election.

Engebretson is a military veteran who supports peace through diplomacy, alliances and a strong and fair economy.

She promises to help build rural economies with expanded broadband and infrastructure repair.

“Sean Duffy has been an absentee representative who consistently puts the interests of his campaign contributors and his loyalty to one person – the president – ahead of the people he is supposed to represent,” Engebretson said in a statement after being

confirmed the winner. “The people of northern, western, and central Wisconsin deserve a representative who will fight for them.”

She also won Burnett county receiving 660 votes compared to 313 for Ewert.

James Bolen (R) will face incumbent Janet Bewley (D) in the District 25 State Senate race.

In the State Assembly races, Kim Butler (D) will face Gae Magnafici (R) in the District 28 State Assembly race. In District 75, incumbent Romaine Quinn (R) ran unopposed in the primary and will be up against Ali Holzman (D). Nick Milroy (D) will be running unopposed in the District 73 race.

with Aug. 15 being her last day on the job.

Later in the meeting the board went into executive session to discuss the full time police officer position.

Village President Jeff Roberts said the board approved posting the position on WILEnet.

In other items: Roberts and Director of Public Works Jay Heyer have begun talks about fixing and replacing some of the sidewalk. At the meeting Roberts explained these were still preliminary talks. He said they are looking at the sidewalk in front of the new clinic on Highway 35 and a little north by extending the sidewalk so it extends all the way to the Northview Drive-In.

through traffic. The work will be completed using lane closures with flagging operations between 6:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Motorists can expect travel delays. Using an alternate route during chip seal operations is recommended. Schedules are dependent on weather conditions and are subject to change.

“The work is done as a moving operation and only the 500 or so feet that is occupied by the equipment will be closed off,” Burnett County Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs said. “There will be flaggers and a pilot car con-

trolling traffic.”

Beginning Aug. 13, crews plan to chip seal WIS 35 from County Highway K to County Highway A in the Village of Webster. Chip sealing both directions is expected to take about four days.

“We will likely do the highway within the Village of Webster early in the morning before businesses open and people are traveling to work,” Hoefs said.

Chip seals consist of a layer of crushed stone placed on top of an application of liquid asphalt to reduce further deterioration of the pavement. Loose stones will be on the highway temporarily during the initial cure of the asphalt.

Once the chip seal has cured, crews will sweep the highway to clear away loose stones.

“We will be putting our digital message display boards up on each end of the project a week ahead of the start of work to inform the traveling public of the upcoming work,” Hoefs said.

“Traffic delays should be minimal.”

Motorists are urged to take extra caution, drive slowly, and allow additional space between vehicles to prevent damage from any loose stone chips.

AUGUST 15, 2018

Pro wrestling What a great summer we have had so far. Yes, some days have been hot and sticky. So, obviously, I spent one of those days at the Webster Fairgrounds watching professional wrestling.

Last weekend, I had my mom give me a buzz cut after my little brother got married. It was drastically needed because even with the in-window air-conditioner unit about a foot from my face I was still waking up with a very gross sweaty neck.

On Sunday it was – as one person said – ‘even hot in the shade.’ Which was true. But I was a huge fan of professional wrestling growing up, so I could not miss the GHurtz Wrestling show at Gandy Dancer Days, and I was not disappointed.

Gandy Dancer Days event coordinator Harriet Rice talked to me about the show and sounded very excited for it leading up to the event.

Yes, it was very hot but the Sentinel wrestling was fantastic. In the first bout Big Q Bundy brought Editor out a heavy chain, a standard for Jonathan Richie any bad guy looking to guarantee a victory when the referee is not looking. He beat his opponent, Darkchild, without much of a fight. At the end Bundy exited the ring to “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” played by Green Day, a very fitting conclusion to the match.

The next match was between Boardman and a wrestler hailing from Tijuana, Mexico. It was a better match than the first one, but this one had smack talk coming from Boardman. Before the match Boardman attempted to rile up the crowd by calling Webster a “podunk town” and made a joke about how there was probably not full set of teeth in the audience.

Gregg Hurtz was next on the card and faced Farmer Brooks in the squared circle. Hurtz became sick and tired of the referee, so he picked him up and launched him out of the ring. The main event was Hurtz and his partner against Farmer Brooks and Dirty Ernie. It was fun for the whole family.

A lot of fun that hearkened back to my youth.

I was a huge fan of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock and Kane in the WWF, which is now the WWE. Which really just made me mad, I understand the the World Wildlife Fund is important, but what I don’t understand is why can’t there be two WWF’s. It’s not like the wildlife fund trades on the New York Stock Exchange.

Anyway, Austin was awesome because he was constantly angering his boss (Vince McMahon) and drinking beer. Granted, nine-year-old Jonathan had no idea what beer was, since neither of my parents regularly had beer in the house. All I saw was a guy beating up his boss and driving a Coors Light truck down the entrance ramp and spraying the entire ring with the watery beer.

Things have changed a lot since the 90s. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is in every action movie now.

While Kane, commonly known as Glenn Jacobs is now the mayor-elect of Knox County, Tenn.

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.

Time to stand up for a free press: We’re not the enemy LAYNE BRUCE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS ASSOCIATION

Enough already.

The last couple of years have been an unending barrage against the freedom of the press and the practitioners of this noble trade.

From being called “liars,” “fake,” and “sick” by irate politicians to enduring capricious and punitive tariffs that are an existential threat to newspapers, the landscape for journalists today may be as inhospitable as it has ever been in the 242-year history of this great union of ours.

All this while the public at large seems unable to break free of the social media echo chamber. We retreat there to endlessly bicker with those who don’t agree, or to bolster the confidence of our own positions by seeking solace from those who do.

We’ve devolved into a nation of people who simply don’t want to hear it.

And that’s incredibly dangerous.

The bipartisan testimony of 20 members of congress last month before the International Trade Commission in opposition to tariffs on Canadian imported newsprint is a good indicator a lot of talk about journalists being “enemies of the people” is utter hogwash. These

men and women know the importance of community newspapers and their imperiled status in modern culture where too many marketers prefer digital analytics and too many readers prefer daily affirmation.

They know the men and women who work at the local paper are most definitely not the enemy — nor the problem.

But in a society where talk of the wicked media is hurled relentlessly on Twitter or cable “news” channels, all of us who take part in the honorable, ConstiLane Bruce tutionally protected trade of reporting news and ferreting truth get amalgamated into a cynical act of political theater that’s threatening to the very fabric of democracy.

And that’s what this is really about.

We’re arguing over political philosophies and cultural divides — not about whether news is biased. I bet you a week’s pay and a dozen donuts the people who use the argument that news is “fake” don’t any more believe that than they think the Space Force is coming soon to a quadrant near us.

But the damage is being done. We as

a nation are beginning to give a collective shoulder shrug to the fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights.

And we’ve got to snap out of it.

We’ve got to accept that not all news is happy or affirming. We’re not always going to get what we want. I vaguely remember being taught that as a preschooler.

Aaron Blake, a correspondent for The Washington Post, asked in a recent column if the media should go to war with the President.

“Trump seems to want a war with his ‘enemy,’” Blake wrote. “But should the media oblige him? And if it doesn’t, isn’t it unilaterally disarming?”

No, we should not go to war with the President. But it’s long past time to end the naval gazing and stand up for what we do. It’s our job to provide the best obtainable version of the truth and to champion the freedoms of the First Amendment.

To that end, The Boston Globe is encouraging newspapers across the country to editorialize on the importance of journalism in democracy — and to the communities we all serve — in their editions on or around Aug. 16.

“This dirty war on the free press must end,” Globe editors wrote in their call to action.

Thomas Jefferson — who had a notably tempestuous relationship with the press — was a president who still often rose to defend it.

He once wrote while serving in Paris as Minister to France: “The people are the only censors of their governors: and even their errors will tend to keep these to the true principles of their institution…

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.”

If we’re unwilling to accept news that upsets us, or if we’re indifferent to differing views simply because we don’t want to deal with them, we’re essentially giving up on the notion we can ever truly be “one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

I know it’s ironic, but I don’t believe we’ve given up because I don’t want to believe it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

THE CAPITAL REPORT

Dear Editor: Drivers who get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle while impaired are a danger to themselves, their passengers, and everyone else along our highways. That’s why Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers will join law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin for the annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign from Aug. 17 through Labor Day, Sept. 3.

Last year in Wisconsin, alcohol-related crashes resulted in 161 deaths and over 3,000 injuries. While alcohol-impaired driving remains a significant concern, Wisconsin and many other states see a growing problem with drugged driving – people whose ability to safely operate a motor vehicle is compromised by any combination of legal or illegal drugs including prescription and over-the-counter medications.

To help address this challenge, Wisconsin’s law enforcement community is taking several steps: • There are currently 25 multi-jurisdictional, high-visibility OWI enforcement task forces operating across the state; • To identify and remove impaired drivers from our roadways, nearly 3,800 Wisconsin law enforcement officers have been trained in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE); • To assist with drug-related law enforcement, Wisconsin has 276 highly-trained Drug Recognition Experts - among the most in the nation.

The public must be involved as well. If you see a driver that you suspect is impaired, call 911 and provide as much detail as you can. Never allow someone else to make the dangerous decision to drive impaired. Your actions could save their life or others.

Abide by our traffic laws. That means buckle up, set aside the phone, watch your speed, and always be patient, alert and sober behind the wheel.

During “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” - and throughout the year - our goal is to make our roadways as safe as possible for everyone.

Republicans push for new prison near Green Bay

Prisons are likely to be a big issue this election season After Gov. Scott Walker’s troubles with youth prisons, much of the current debate is about who should be in adult prisons, whether new facilities are needed and avoiding the pitfalls of a privately built prison in Stanley.

Three Republicans from northeastern Wisconsin recently touted a plan to close the aging Green Bay Correctional Institution.

Reps. David Steffen and Andre Jacque and Sen. Robert Cowles joined officials from the village of Allouez on Aug. 8 to announce they’d received more than 1,000 signatures on a petition calling for the 1897 facility to be decommissioned and replaced by a privately built yet publicly run facility.

Steffen argued a new facility would allow for more opportunities to lower recidivism, such as programming that targets mental health and vocational training.

And Cowles, R-Green Bay, highlighted upcoming Department of Corrections and legislative audits he argues will likely support the need for a new facility.

The call for the decommissioning of the site came just a day after Gov. Scott Walker at a stop in Milwaukee blasted Democratic gubernatorial candidates for calling for a much lower prison population.

Walker said it’s a myth that the state’s prisons are filled with nonviolent drug offenders. He argued the path forward includes alternatives to incarceration and technical and vocational training for inmates.

Steffen previously authored a bill that would have meant the state would partner with a private company to build a new prison that it would then lease.

Some of his critics at the time sounded alarm bells at a similar project — the Stanley Correctional Institution — that was built by a private company without the state’s directive and failed to meet standards. Cowles said he’s also concerned about a repeat of Stanley and emphasized Joint Finance and Building Commission oversight on any plan for a new prison.

The state bought the facility for $80 million in 2001 under former Gov. Scott McCallum and spent $7.5 million on upgrades between 2003 and 2006, although some of those upgrades include regular maintenance.

The petition’s plan calls for the prison site to be sold and redeveloped. Proponents maintain the current facility could be turned into a mixed-use area that would add to the allure of downtown Allouez while increasing the property tax base.

Petitioners argue the state could commission a private company to build and own a prison in rural Brown or an adjacent county while the state would lease the facility and run it.

Supporters of the petition argue the existing prison has a looming $200 million in repairs and long-term maintenance costs for the Green Bay facility, overcrowding, a high number of inmateon-staff assaults and high operational costs.

They say a newly built facility could bring new jobs and economic development to the area, along with potential state dollars for roads leading to the new facility.

Two Siren teenagers found with marijuana during 4th of July festivities JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN––Siren Police arrested two teenagers on July 3 during the Independence Day street dance when an officer saw what looked like a smoke-filled car parked on First Avenue. When the officer tried separating the two, one of them continued to show erratic behavior and continuously disobeyed the officer’s orders.

Hope E. Goebel, 18, Siren, and Noah J. Kegel, 18, Webster, were Noah Kegel both charged with possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia. Kegel was also charged with resisting an officer. The pair were also both charged with underage drinking/possession of alcohol. All charges are misdemeanors.

Hope Goebel According to the criminal complaint, Sgt. Bentley was on duty during the street dance. At around 11 p.m. he noticed a car parked just south of Main Street on First Avenue. He said the vehicle looked like it was partially full of smoke.

As Bentley approached the car and knocked on the window, Goebel was allegedly leaning over the center console with a lighter in one hand and a glass

pipe in the other. Bentley noted, “this is consistent with drug activity.”

Bentley said their eyes were very glazed, slightly bloodshot and could smell “a strong odor of burnt marijuana.” Goebel was attempting to conceal something. Bentley then asked Kegel to exit the vehicle, but Kegel continued to lean into the car. Bentley redirected him away from the car and Kegel began to yell towards Goebel.

This went on for a couple of minutes with Kegel going towards the car to speak with Goebel. Bentley called Burnett County Dispatch, but they were busy and could not send anyone to assist him.

Bentley eventually got the two in wrist restraints and told Goebel he could smell marijuana coming from the vehicle. She told him that two of the pipes in the car were hers and on belonged to Kegel. Then Bentley explained to Kegel why he was being charged with resisting an officer, “I had to redirect him multiple times and he refused to listen to me.”

They were both transported to the Burnett County Jail and were released after they were booked and cited. Two unopened beer bottles were located in the vehicle along with four pipes, three lighters and a small canister which smelled like marijuana. They also found 1.8 grams of marijuana in the car.

Goebel and Kegel both made their initial appearance last week in front of Judge Melissia Mogen.

Village President and Chief of Police disagree on grant opportunity JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN––The Siren Village Board and Chief of Police Chris Sybers went back and forth last Thursday over applying for a “Click it or Ticket” grant that could bring in $30,000-$40,000 to help his budget. Village President Dave Alden voiced his concerns about the grant because of issues that arose in the past.

The main issue with the grant is that officers would be Dave Alden required to pull over a certain amount of people in a certain time frame. Sybers said over the course of four hours four vehicles would need to be pulled over.

Also, those four hours would be paid by the federal government and not the village.

The board argued it’s a perception issue.

“Sometimes I don’t believe it’s all about money and this is one of them,” Alden said. “My biggest fear is hearing people say, ‘I do not want to go to Siren because every time I go through there they’ve got someone pulled over.’”

Board Trustee Rick Engstrom said that perception is every thing in small towns and that people have enough to worry about without seeing someone pulled over by police every time they drive through Siren. He remembered when they had this type of grant a couple of years ago.

“Perception was horrible and perception is reality here,” Engstrom explained. “They perceived that flashing lights were on 35 all the time. It was really bad PR for the Village.”

Sybers said he understood that, but also is looking for ways to help his budget. He added that income from citations has steadily gone down over the last few years.

Plan Perfect the

“Your looking at the budgets now,” Sybers asked. “And you asked me how I can help. This is the perfect opportunity to help with our budget.”

Alden said he appreciates everything Sybers has done for the village and said he was doing a great job.

But really did not want to go back to the way things were when Dean Roland was Sheriff.

“We worked hard to get people comfortable here.”

Before things got to heated Village Trustee Todd Schultz stepped in and tried to explain where Sybers was coming from.

Dave Alden He said this Village President was the Chief trying to save some money and help out with his budget.

Alden countered with, “I don’t want it here. Personally, I feel it’s a bad idea.

The answer right now is no.”

‘My biggest fear is hearing people say, ‘I do not want to go to Siren because every time I go through there they’ve got someone pulled over.’

Dave Rasumussen from MSA Professional Services went over the Village’s Tax Incremental Districts (TID). He said both TIDs are in good shape, advised they keep an eye on them and revisit them next year.

Trustee Jim Pearson brought up a plan that would make the industrial park more inviting to buyers. Pearson is hoping to get it on the agenda for their September meeting.

The board approved entering a five-year lease with Neopost at a rate of $187.11. Currently they pay $192 per quarter.

GRO Members of Grantsburg Revitalization Operation (GRO) laid out their plans to build a fitness trail, playground and splash pad all near the swimming pool and high school.

Nikki Peterson of the GRO Town Renewal committee presented plans for a fitness trail for all ages and ability levels. It is expected to cost $70,000 and they have already raised approximately $45,000.

Peterson explained that GRO intends to raise the money for one project, get it built and then move on to the next project. Once they complete the trail they will begin funding for the playground and conclude with the splash pad.

Overall the plans were estimated to cost around $550,000 and GRO plans to fund the project entirely from private donations. They plan on having funding completed by the end of 2019 and have everything installed and setup by 2020.

Ebersold reiterated this point to the audience that none of the funds will be covered by taxpayers.

IN OTHER ITEMS: • Rick Quimby gave the board a quick recap of this year’s Watercross event. He explained that attendance has dropped almost 30 percent in the last two years and said if nothing changes with the event, it will most likely not exist in five years. He suggested changing the event to incorporate more live music, so the event can appeal to more than just racing fans. His plan, which is not set in stone, is to triple his budget for live music and change the name from Watercross to H20 XFest.

• Brian Tollin, who is a resident of the James McNally Campground for six months out of the year, told the board they would like more open communication with the trustees and the residents of the campground.

• The Village did get the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Dan Penzkover of S.E.H. Design congratulated the board on receiving the grant and said they will have more for them at the September meeting.

Natalie Finch(right) reads her collective statement to the board, saying it’s not a matter of if, but when will a tragedy occur in the neighborhood because of the house at 420 N. Pine Street in Grantsburg.

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

Village residents packed the meeting room in the Grantsburg Public Library to voice their collective opinion about a house in the village. They came with a Nuisance Residence Complaint that gathered 135 signatures, which is more than 10 percent of the village population.

Natalie Finch and Charles Becvar of Grantsburg brought their petition for something to be done about the criminal activity happening at 420 N. Pine St. By the time the pair was given the chance to speak there was standing room only.

Finch explained that she would like to speak as a collective voice for her neighbors and other concerned citizens. She requested the village board partner with her group “to ensure the peace, health and safety of the residents of our neighborhood and the Village of Grantsburg by evicting the residents that live in the house at 420 North Pine Street.”

She made an open records request with the sheriff’s office and brought that information to the meeting.

“The property owner has eight arrests. 18 police calls have been made to this address in the last 12 months,” Finch stated. “There are 16 cases linked to people at this address, resulting in 32 separate charges. Twenty-four of those charges are still open. Eight of them are closed and resulted in a guilty verdict. 12 of those charges are felony level charges.”

She then listed off a number of other charges including a convicted sex offender living in the house with other children living there and those children had to be removed.

“When will a child be hit by an erratic driver? When will someone find drugs or step on a needle?”

Finch asked. “It’s coming and if you were paying the slightest bit of attention, you’d see it coming from a mile away.”

She described it as a drain on the community and is having great effect on law enforcement in the village.

Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing gave up his seat and was standing in the doorway when he explained the courts are already looking at a nuisance ticket for that house. Becvar pointed out that’s a $185 fine and really isn’t a solution.

Schinzing explained that these are legal issues, they must be handled properly and his department cannot simply go around evicting residents from their homes.

Village President Larry Ebersold said, “these signatures are a real flag for us to get something done here... something has got to be done.”

Sheriff Sgt. Ryan Bybee said he was sent to the meeting by Sheriff Ron Wilhelm to address this issue.

He said this house on Pine Street is the one to start with and then move

Reviewing the past, planning for the future LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—Monday evening, the Grantsburg School Board reviewed reports from the past school year, goals for the coming year and considered the security of their electronic data and systems.

Kathy Josephson, After School Program Director, reported that the program serves 257 students.

The program offers a variety of classes for all ages, including fitness, arts and crafts, nature, and music. Several high school students are involved as assistants as well, and a number of them have followed careers in education.

Recent Grade 3 hire, Melissa Dahl, is a former after school helper.

Rebekah Stavne spoke to the Board about the Community Education program, In addition to offering classes for all ages, the department also coordinated the volunteer program for the 170 active volunteers who assist at the District’s schools. In tandem with this is the Building Bridges program, which hires senior citizens at minimum wage to work at the school. Stavne said she hopes to expand this program in the coming year, as they have room and funds for more seniors.

Principal Ibby Olson reported the elementary school is focusing on the math program this year.

Olson said that it is difficult to make their goals because the students excel in math. In fact, Grades K and 1 are in the top one percent of students in the nation.

The second graders, who missed their goal this year, are still in the 94th percentile. Goals are based on standardized test scores.

The middle school, under new Principal Lisa Danielson, will be focusing on strengthening career planning for students with the use of a strength finder program. In addition, Danielson reported that in the school culture goals, the middle school boasts 75 percent of students receiving zero or one behavior infraction reports for the past year. The next goal is to work with students still struggling with behavior, possibly instituting a mentor program Principal Josh Watt of the high school also reports most of his students like to be in school, and that eight student were involved in career-related programs such as internships, work study and apprenticeships. While not a new concept for the high school, he would like to continue growing community partnerships to match students with their passions. iForward has increased their enrollment, with approximately 560 students enrolled for the coming year. Principal Billy Beesley said the school is still working to have students participate in extra-curricular special events, but they did see a 15 percent increase the past school year over the years previous.

The board received presentations from two firms for an independent cyber risk assessment of the school’s electronic resources.

Be On The Look-Out Steamy summer weather increases the risk of mold in your house for several reasons.

First, many molds and mildews grow faster in warmer temperatures. Second, cool or cold surfaces are much more likely to collect condensation when the air is humid. This condensation can saturate nearby porous materials and create a breeding ground for mold. Third, once moisture accumulates during a spill or leak, it has a very hard time evaporating if the air is already saturated with moisture. Be extra vigilant this time of year looking for water leaks in your home.

Wipe up spills as soon as they occur. Consider replacing old toilets that “sweat” with newer, insulated models.

ELLSWORTH—A roofer accused of killing a co-worker with a circular saw in western Wisconsin said he was being teased and thought he was being drugged, according to a criminal complaint.

Miguel Navarro, 24, of St. Louis was charged Thursday in Pierce County court with first-degree intentional homicide and mayhem, both felonies, in the death of Israel Valles-Flores, 37, also of St. Louis.

According to the complaint, Navarro was seen attacking Valles-Flores with a circular saw while on a home’s roof near River Falls. The victim ended up on the garage roof, where he died of his injuries.

A witness said Navarro continued cutting VallesFlores after the victim fell backward on to the garage roof, according to the complaint.

A witness said Valles-Flores handed the saw to Navarro, who immediately cut into the victim’s neck.

A bloody circular saw was found on the ground.

During a recorded jail call, Navarro said the other workers, including Valles-Flores, were teasing him because he wasn’t feeling well after having sex.

There was no apparent argument before the attack.

Navarro was mad about being teased and “he was getting really mad inside,” the complaint said. He also thought he was being drugged, perhaps to work more, and was not getting paid, according to the complaint.

After the attack, a witness heard Navarro calling for him as he ran away and was afraid Navarro was going to hurt him, the complaint said.

An autopsy found Valles-Flores had 10 sharp force injuries, including to his face, neck and back. The jugular vein and carotid artery in his neck were both cut.

Online court records show Navarro appeared in court by video conference from jail with his attorney Thursday. Cash bond was set at $500,000, and a hearing is scheduled Monday for Navarro, who remains in jail.

Send your children back to school protected from serious diseases LEAH JACOBS, FNP WEBSTER HEALTH CENTER

National Immunization Awareness Month is a reminder we all need vaccines throughout our lives.

Back-to-school season is here. It’s time for parents to gather school supplies and backpacks. It’s also the perfect time to make sure your children are up to date on their vaccines as they go back to school.

“Getting children all of the vaccines recommended by CDC’s immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children from serious diseases,” said Leah Jacobs, FNP, Webster Health Center.

“If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to check with your child’s health care provider to find out what vaccines your child needs.”

Vaccines protect children, preteens and teens from 16 serious and potentially life-threatening diseases.

When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk for diseases and can also spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community. For example, babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer or other health conditions, are at a higher risk of contracting life-threatening diseases others may spread to them.

Talk to your child’s doctor to find out which vaccines are recommended for them before going back to school.

Parents can find more about recommended vaccines by visiting www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents.

100 Women Who Care members present a check to Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County.

100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett’s first meeting an overwhelming success SIREN—The newly formed philanthropic group 100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett held their inaugural meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 8 at Northwoods Event Center in Siren. The meeting was a tremendous success and the evening culminated with a $4,900 donation being made to Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County.

Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County was formed in 1996 to help the handicapped, disabled and elderly, allowing them to stay in their homes as long as possible. By 2000, their mission had changed to read “We will help anyone we can to fill their needs and if we could not help, we would refer them to someone who might be able to.”

The need has turned out to be great, and Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County now helps many in the community with transportation, light housekeeping, small home repairs, home visits, wheelchair ramp construction, providing free firewood to heat homes, donating Christmas gifts to needy families and children, help with utility bills, food and fuel for cars.

All these things are done at no cost to the recipients. Interfaith Care-

givers of Burnett County does all their work with funds that are donated by local charities, churches, organizations, private individuals and grants. 100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett are proud to have contributed to their worthy causes.

100 Women Who Care - Polk/ Burnett will meet quarterly, on the second Wednesday evening of February, May, August and November.

At each meeting, three local charities will give brief presentations to educate members about their cause. At the end of the presentations, each member will vote anonymously for the charity they feel is most deserving to receive the groups quarterly donation.

Three different charities will be chosen at random from all applicants to present each quarter. All charities who apply must operate in Polk and/or Burnett, Wis. counties and have 501(c)(3) status. Once a charity is selected to receive a donation, they will be removed from the eligible pool for two calendar years. If a charity is chosen to present, but is not chosen as the selected charity, they will be added back to the drawing at the next quarterly meeting.

“Our first meeting was incredible! With our goal to have 20 members by our first meeting, we more than doubled this and presented our chosen non-profit, Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County, with checks totaling $4,900 - truly making a difference! We thank all of the non-profit organizations who presented and all our members who attended. We’re on our way!” said founding member, Chris Moeller.

The group will hold their next meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at Northwoods Event Center in Siren.

The founding members would like to recognize and thank Jake and Holly Mangelsen for generously donating the use of the event center for the quarterly meetings.

100 Women Who Care - Polk/ Burnett is accepting new members and non-profit group applications.

If you are interested in joining the group or submitting a charity 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” for information on upcoming meetings and donations made.

Siren Chamber welcomes That Hwy 70 Campground SIREN—On Aug. 9, the Siren Chamber of Commerce welcomed That Hwy 70 Campground as their newest member with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. Chamber Board members Ranae Beers, Bluette Puchner, and Rich Tims warmly greeted owners Chris and Jenny Mangelsen who have filled a much desired lodging niche in Siren.

Mangelsens met in 2001, married in 2004 and now have four children: Alijah, Ellah, Noah, and Isaiah. “We built our first home in Shell Lake on family land back in 2004. Chris and I first owned Mangelsen Satellite in Webster.

As times changed, our business changed. We sold the building and moved our office home. That is when Chris became an electrician and continued Mangelsen Satellite and I became a caregiver,” shared Jenny.

Then things fell into place for a new venture for the Mangelsen family. Once known as Rainbow Park, the property where their Campground is now located had changed owners a few times in the past years. “With nothing happening and no changes being made, we jumped in - on a complete whim, I might say. We packed up our house, bought an old camper and moved in!” Then they built their second home right at the campground, gutting the entire existing building and converting it to a home. “I’ve always wanted to buy the land and always thought it would be a fun piece of property to do something with, but never thought I would actually have the opportunity to purchase it,” remarked Chris.

“At first, we hadn’t set on a campground, but after being there and enjoying the land, the vision happened. We decided a campground would be a great addition to Siren and for our family. We were told it would never work - many times over we were told this. We kept pushing on, one step at a time.

Now, here we are almost full and loving our summers with all our new friends. We get people staying here that used to come here as kids or people that had brought their

kids here back when it was Rainbow Park. How cool is that!”

Mangelsens built most of the campground on their own. “The bathhouse was a challenge as we lifted each truss up one by one. We custom built the bathroom showers and stalls. We put our own personal touch into the campground.”

Both Mangelsens were born and raised in the area, and both graduated from Webster. “We laugh at how Chris grew up in town and I grew up in the country,” said Jenny. “So I wanted to be in town and he wanted to be out in the country.

Being here, it’s like the best of both worlds.”

That Hwy 70 Campground offers 94 total sites - 74 sites are full hook up and the other 20 are electric only. There are 67 seasonal sites; the seasonal sites are large, 46 feet by 65 feet. Two rental campers are also available. Mangelsens try to hold two events each month, like petting zoos and kids carnivals.

“Our vision is to be one of the greatest campgrounds for kids!”

Currently fixing the miniature golf course, Mangelsens have

plans of adding a pool and are also looking at more amenities to be announced at a later date. “We want to give people a place to go to create memories and have family bonding! We also want a place for others to meet new people, hang out and have a good time. We have so much more to build and to do! We can’t wait to see what the future holds here!”

“One of our favorite things to do is walk around the campground on a Saturday night and listen to the music, the laughing and seeing all the fires going. Just the thought of knowing we created this campground to help families create new memories, we can’t help but smile.”

That Hwy 70 Campground is located at 6910 State Road 70 in Siren. Contact them by phone at 715-566-0658 or email at thathwy70campground@gmail.com. For details, see their website www. thathwy70campground.com or visit their Facebook page www. facebook.com/thathwy70campground.z

Yes, vaccines are not just for kids. Throughout your life you should be receiving vaccines to Richard Burris, PA, PhD protect your health. For example, once the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine has been received, you can get the Td (tetanus and diphtheria) booster vaccine every 10 years. All adults should receive the flu vaccine each year. Adults 60 years and older should receive the shingles vaccine. Older adults 65 and older should receive one or more pneumococcal vaccines. Adults may need other vaccines depending on their age, occupation, travel, and medical conditions. It is advised to talk to your medical provider if you have any questions.

Should you consider investing some of your excess Financial Advisor cash to take advantage of these higher rates?

There’s no simple answer. You still need to own a mix of stocks and bonds that’s appropriate for your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.

Plus, you’ve got to have enough cash available to make any investment-related moves. Are you comfortable meeting your daily cash-flow needs? For example, do you have three to six months’ worth of living expenses set aside in an emergency fund? Are you also setting aside some cash for a short-term goal, such as a vacation?

If you have met these needs and you still have excess cash, you may indeed want to consider putting some of it to work, possibly investing in those short-term fixed-income vehicles now offering higher rates. So, take the time to review your situation with a financial professional. Holding adequate cash is important, but hanging on to too much involves its own risk — the risk of not investing.

What is the first step I need to take?

Dr. Heather Marks Dr

Dr. Rollyn Lee

Teeth become darker from external and internal color changes. External stains are caused by certain foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine), as well as tobacco products. External stains can often be removed with a good professional cleaning.

Internal color changes are caused by the inside dentin layer of the tooth becoming darker and thicker as we age. To improve internal changes, over the counter whitening strips or professional whitening at a dental office is necessary.

If you would like to discuss your options to keep your teeth bright and healthy, give us a call!

21 for regular Medicare you have a liability of $167.50 per day Administrator for days 21-100. If you have a Medicare Replacement policy the deductibles vary depending on the plan you have, premier plans may have $0 copay others have higher from possibly day 1 through your approved stay.

The key is when you become eligible for Medicare benefits, seek out a good Medicare Supplement policy. A person in their mid-sixties can buy them fairly reasonable but don’t wait, as you age the price goes up.

Other methods of payment for your nursing home stay are: Private Pay, Long Term Care Insurance (again key to buy when you are younger, even before Medicare eligibility), the State Medicaid program (strict eligibility rules apply) and sometimes the Veterans Administration and others.

While I cannot/will not recommend a particular product for you to buy, I can tell you what to look for. There are lots of good plans out there and there are others which are not. It is complicated but if I can offer assistance I will at no cost to you.

A.

Buying a home is a lot like shopping for Len Chute cars. You need to determine how much you can comfortably afford. I would always recommend calling a local lender or mortgage consultant and they can discuss with you your options.

Once you know a price range, then you need to determine what will fit you best for your price, whether it be the location or number of bedrooms needed.

The most important step to take is to get qualified and then talk to your local realtor who will help you fit your needs and help protect you on your investment.

Two in a row for Calvary Covenant

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

FALUN—They had to do it the hard way, but they did it anyway.

Due to a forfeit early on in the tournament, Calvary Covenant worked their way through the consolation bracket, played four games in a row on Saturday, and took the tournament championship.

After a two year interlude, the Covenanters took the trophy last year with a come-from-behind win over New Hope/ Living Hope and this year they defeated Crosswalk Free of Frederic by a 17-9 margin.

Thursday’s games had Crosswalk beat Falun/Grace Baptist 31-3 while Webster Baptist/Nazarene topped Trade Lake Baptist/Trade River Free 8-10.

Crosswalk got two on board in their seventh, but couldn’t get any more to touch the plate and the Covenanters got the win and the championship.

Calvary had a 7-2 regular season record and has made it to the finals for at least the last nine years, if not more.

Thus ends another successful season with the Falun Church Softball League.

Many thanks to those who have held leadership positions as well as those who have maintained the field and have helped in the concession stand.

See you next year ...

Abby Brand was the winner of the bingo pot.

What a busy week we have had. We started the week with National Night Out picnic at the park. Wednesday, we had our monthly potluck. Thursday, we had our Volunteer Appreciation picnic at the park. The whole week has been fun with visiting people and having door prizes given out. Ralph and I topped the weekend by attending a Norling Gathering on Saturday.

We hope the real hot weather will cool off a little so we can enjoy the outside. This weekend was too hot and muggy to be enjoyed.

Our 500 winners were Phyllis Peterson, Jean Dodenhoff, Dave Peterson, Gerry Vogel and Dwaine Bentley. Carl Link got the 9 bid. Spade winners were Gerry Vogel, Carl Link, Sue Newberger, Jean Dodenhoff. Dwaine Bentley and Nona Severson tied for fifth place. Ben Anderson got the 9 bid.

Did you remember our center is a great place to rent for parties, meetings?

We would love to have you come and play Dime Bingo Tuesday at 1 p.m. and 500 on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. with Spades played on Fridays at 1 p.m.

Dates To Remember: • Aug. 14 — Primary election • Aug. 16 —Monthly meeting, 9:30 a.m.

Thank you, ADRC, for the evening out in Siren to honor our volunteers that help make our sites function! There are many who dedicate their time to help, to them we say thank you! Those who attend enjoyed a great meal and prizes, too.

Some took advantage of finishing off the night by sticking around to hear the Music in the Park, making for the perfect summer night.

We celebrated as Gene Gronlund turned 93 on Thursday, and James Taylor on Friday with cakes and goodies.

As our plans for the Ladies Luncheon are being prepared. We need sets of china to dress our tables with. If you’re interested in sharing your beautiful dishes with us, please let me know. Maybe it’s time to open the old cedar chest or dig in the back of the closet for your best dress, gloves and maybe a bonnet too!

Gov. Walker: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No valueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to visiting state prisons

BY IVAN MORENO ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEEâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Gov. Scott Walker said Tuesday heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yet to visit a prison in Wisconsin and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-elected because â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no valueâ&#x20AC;? in him doing so.

He made the comments during a news conference to criticize Democratic gubernatorial candidates who say they want to reduce the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison population by releasing some inmates early. A week before Democrats choose the candidate to challenge Walker in November, the Republican governor said â&#x20AC;&#x153;there cannot be a starker contrastâ&#x20AC;? between himself and his potential opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about as clear cut as it gets,â&#x20AC;? Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you believe that violent offenders should be let out early, then one of these candidates is probably your candidate.â&#x20AC;?

Walker said that although he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visited a state prison, he has spoken to offenders who participated in employment training programs. He said inmate job training is a better alternative to

reforming the correctional system than releasing offenders early.

The Democratic gubernatorial candidates are: Tony Evers, who is state schools superintendent; Mahlon Mitchell, a firefighter and president of the state firefighter union; Matt Flynn, an attorney and U.S. Navy veteran; Josh Pade, an attorney making his first run for office; former state Rep. Kelda Roys; Mike McCabe, a political activist; Paul Soglin, Madisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor; and state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout.

Democrats quickly lashed out, with Mitchell saying Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to visit any of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prisons, which cost about $1 billion to operate annually, is proof the governor â&#x20AC;&#x153;is unfit to lead and will be replaced in November.â&#x20AC;?

Evers noted incredulously in a statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can the governor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who oversees a billion dollars a year in Corrections funding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; refuse to visit a corrections facility?â&#x20AC;? He said the state needs to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;smarter on crimeâ&#x20AC;? and invest in drug courts and rehabilitation programs.

Roys called Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheap scare tactics and fear-mongering.â&#x20AC;?

Flynn said Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to visit a prison amounted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;criminal negligenceâ&#x20AC;? and showed that Walker â&#x20AC;&#x153;wants to turn a blind eye to problems.â&#x20AC;?

Vinehout, meanwhile, noted that Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison population is less than half that of Wisconsin, even though the states have about the same number of residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our people are no more violent than they are. Minnesotans are no less safe than we are,â&#x20AC;? Vinehout said.

Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison population stood at 23,519 inmates as of the end of 2017, according to state Department of Corrections report.

Sixty-seven percent of inmates had committed a violent offense.

Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plans to reduce the prison population include releasing ill and aging inmates, legalizing marijuana, and releasing inmates early for good behavior.

Burnett County law enforcement urging drivers to “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” Report: Cost of farming increasing in Wisconsin ASSOCIATED PRESS

Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers will join hundreds of law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin to combat impaired driving during the annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” initiative from Aug. 17 through Labor Day, Sept. 3. Last year in Wisconsin, alcohol-related crashes resulted in 161 deaths and more than 3,000 injuries.

“Whether it’s caused by alcohol or any combination of legal or illegal drugs, impaired drivers endanger everyone along our roadways.

During the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over initiative, Burnett County officers will patrol in greater numbers and for longer hours to help prevent impaired drivers from killing or injuring themselves or someone else.

While alcohol-impaired drivers remain a significant problem, a growing concern

D

is drugged driving - people whose ability to safely operate a motor vehicle is compromised by legal or illegal drugs including prescription and over-the-counter medications. To help combat the problem: • Nearly 3,800 Wisconsin law enforcement officers have been trained in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) to help detect and remove impaired drivers from the roadways; • Wisconsin has 276 Drug Recognition Experts - among the most in the nation; • There are 25 multi-jurisdictional, high-visibility OWI enforcement task forces operating throughout the year across the state.

Rather than risk an OWI arrest or crash, County and Village officers urges drivers to follow these common

R

sense suggestions: • Report impaired drivers to law enforcement by calling 911. Provide as much detail as possible on the driver, vehicle, and location; • If you plan to celebrate, identify a sober designated driver. Never allow someone else to get behind the wheel impaired; • Download the free “Drive Sober” mobile app from the WisDOT website. The app includes a “find a ride” feature to help locate mass transit and taxi services; • Some taverns and restaurants have programs to provide patrons a safe ride home. Visit www.tlw.org/ and click on Safe Ride.

With the public’s help and through our year-round enforcement efforts, we’re working to make our roadways as safe as possible for all travelers.

MADISON—A new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows Wisconsin farmers experienced a slight increase in production costs last year.

Figures show that the average farm spent more than $168,000 on production in 2017, a 6 percent increase from the previous year.

Some of the largest expense increases were for trucks, tractors and other farm machinery, which saw spending declines in 2015-16.

Mark Stephenson is the director of the Center for Dairy Profitability at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He told the Wisconsin Public Radio that farmers had avoided making large purchases during the last few years of low commodity price.

“It may be the case that some of that equipment simply can’t be fixed anymore,” Stephenson said.

“Any one or two years, you can get by not replacing it. But four years? Some equipment is going

Sherry Wuebben of St. Joseph Equipment said the company has seen fewer sales in the last few years. She said she’s concerned sales could go down even further due to President Donald Trump administration’s tariffs on steel and aluminum.

“After years of not having any significant price increases, because of the tariffs on steel, (buyers) are going to start seeing some price increases,” Wuebben said.

She said she isn’t sure how much equipment prices will increase, but manufacturers have already notified her that costs will change.

If we truly give fully of ourselves to Christ people are going to take notice. We are more than a name on the rolls. We are part of a living, breathing, life-giving church that seeks to make Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name known through the way we live. Being people that have been converted and transformed to be more like Christ means giving our whole lives over to Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; love.

not a bad thing. But what we miss when we make our faith-walk just a Sunday morning thing is that God wants us to integrate our faith into our whole lives. Our words and our actions can reflect and honor God, or they can turn people off from faith altogether. We have the responsibility to share Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light with the world.
