Siren National on hold for Fall

Grantsburg’s new principal

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Due to the recent reconstruction of the airport there will be no Siren Nationals event this fall. The Burnett County Airport in Meenon recently had one of their runways reconstructed and officials decided it would be best to not have the event this year. They are planning to continue the event next spring. Siren Nationals was tentatively scheduled for September 21. The biannual event includes the radar run, a classic car show and flea market. The Lions Club and other vendors sell concessions. In May the event had over 600 spectators with about 100 cars participating in the radar run. Nate Ehalt, County Administrator and airport manager explained that the event will not be held this fall. He explained runway 5/23 was recently completely reconstructed. The runway was ranked as one of the worst in the state. “Airport officials would like to have the pavement completely set before having the racers back at the airport,” Ehalt said at the monthly infrastructure meeting. “I met with organizers of the event and they were very understanding, and there is a plan to have them invited back next spring.” He added the pavement is set for planes and jets to take off and land at the airport but group running the event SEE SIREN NATIONALS, PAGE 2

As August winds down, school districts throughout the county are beginning to prepare for the new school year. Grantsburg High School has a new principal and he says he is excited to start the school year and interact with the students. Matt Haase was hired as the new high school principal in Grantsburg. Before taking the position, he taught science (physics and chemistry) for 18 years. Two of those years were spent teaching in Hudson while the other 16 were spent teaching in Osceola. He loved to teach science because it allowed him a lot of time to interact with his students, especially when it came to labs. It was never his goal to become a principal, but throughout his years of teaching, Haase’s leadership quality grew. He attended Viterbo University in La Crosse and completed the Principal Certification Coursework. When he saw that Grantsburg was looking for a

high school principal, he jumped at the opportunity, and was excited to hear he had gotten the job. With the school year fast approaching, Haase has been working steadily with the veteran staff at the high school to learn how everything works. He says that the staff have been really great to him and Haase they have helped him really nail down what to expect in the upcoming year. They are going to try and keep most things running the same because Joshua Watt, the previous high school principal, had a good system going. Watt was named the district’s new superintendent in July. After speaking more with the teaching staff, Haase explained that their main goal this year is to focus on ACT scores and the students’ three-year SEE HAASE, PAGE 2

Concerned citizens ﬁle lawsuit against Wood Lake Camp JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

WOOD RIVER––A group of concerned citizens have filed a civil lawsuit against the owners of Wood Lake Camp & RV, LLC. They are hoping to block further work on the former Wood Lake Bible Camp property until the proper permits are obtained. A conditional use permit for the

camp/resort on Big Wood Lake at 22460 Assembly Drive was first submitted in February. It was submitted by Jeff Sventek, who called himself the middle man for the project, working for Patrick Kinsella of Forest Lake, Minn. There were a number of meetings with hours of public comment at the Town of Wood River meetings and county meetings at the Government center. The initial permit asked to build

91 new RV lots on 40 acres north of Assembly Road and west of Big Wood Lake. That permit was pulled then another was submitted, and a public hearing was held in March. At that meeting almost 150 people attended with over 30 voiced strong opposition to the proposed campground. During the public SEE CAMP, PAGE 2

WEBSTER––Kids will be able to participate in a series of races this fall all taking place on Sunday at Webster High School. Beginning September 15, children aged 2-14 will be able to run in a series of five races over five Sundays with the final race being held October 13. Heidi Hanson, is the event organizer for the Webster series. She made an appearance at the Webster Village Board meeting to spread the word about the running series. The series has events in 32 states plus the District of Columbia. The event will be held in Webster as well as Menomonie, Milwaukee and North Shore in Wisconsin this fall. There are also three events planned for the fall in Minnesota; Cottage Grove, Mendota Heights and Stillwater. “Everyone gets a medal, race bib, a shirt and a race bag,” Hanson told the village board. “The distances will vary based on the kids age.” There is a 50-yard dash, 75-yard dash, a quarter mile race, half mile race and one mile race. The finish line is the same for all races with varying starting lines. Races are scheduled to start at 4 p.m. All races will take place near the Webster High School and the finish line will east of the football field.

Webster High School will be holding ﬁve races on Sundays throughout the fall. This is the race route centered around the Webster football ﬁeld.

Hanson added there is a $35 registration fee and they are looking for volunteers. They plan on having the same event in the spring.

will be invited back to the County airport in the spring of 2020. Ehalt said it would be best to let the runway material completely cure before allowing the large amount of cars on it. “It’s a good idea,” Supervisor Emmett “Buzz” Bryne said. Ehalt said they were taking the precaution to protect the $2 million runway project. He said the county owes about $110,000 for the project. In other items: Fuel sales continue to rise for the airport. Ehalt said it was in part due to the amount of air traffic during the Gandy Dancer Fly-In and Airshow. He added it was also due to the “tremendous amount of air traffic” the airport had in July.

progression with the scores. Making sure that the students are prepared for their ACTs is very important. Before taking the principal position, Haase had many ties in the community. His wife’s family had a cabin in Crex Meadows and spoke highly of the area while his father is a board member at Burnett Dairy and also told him many great things. Haase grew up on a

Century Dairy Farm just south of Osceola, so being in a rural town is something he is quite familiar with. Haase is not only excited for the school year to begin, he is also excited for the sports to take off. During his years teaching in Osceola, every one of them were spent also coaching three different sports, accumulating 49 seasons of coaching. He was the basketball head coach, assistant football coach and assistant track coach, so

sports have always been a passion of his. His other passion has always been to learn as much as he can about the kids in school and to build relationships with them. He is very excited to kick off the new year. “I’m thrilled to be here, I’m thrilled that I found Grantsburg because it’s a great school and a great community.”

hearing concerned citizens, seasonal and yearround Burnett County residents, had many reasons why they opposed the proposed campsite. They ranged from safety concerns, septic systems, invasive species, runoff damage and overall water quality of the lake. “We didn’t want to sue, but after months of talking with the Kinsellas and their staff, we still don’t have a written plan for the 234-acre property,” said Patrick Hansen, chair of Concerned Citizens of Big Wood Lake. “We still don’t know the impact of this project on the lake and on neighbors. Last week, it appears the new owners began installing electrical service for a large RV park. We are taking action to protect our rights under the law.” The Concerned Citizens of Big Wood Lake released a statement outlining their issues and concerns with the proposed campground. “The former Bible camp had a small campground with 12 sites near the waterfront, half of which included electrical hook-ups for RVs,” the statement explained. “In addition to the 125 new proposed sites, the new owners are also seeking to double the number of sites in the historic campground, bringing the total number of RV lots to 150 or more.” The lawsuit contends the new owners are not in compliance with county and town zoning law. Carol Downhour “RV parks are not a perAffected property owner mitted use of land covered by Burnett County’s shoreland zoning, which covers all property within 1000 feet of any body of water,” the statement says. “All of the former Bible camp waterfront area is contained within that zone. Other parts of the 234-acre property are located in the Town of Trade Lake, which has adopted County zoning.” Their group is made up of over 100 residents and property owners for the towns of Wood River and Trade Lake. They formed in February when the initial conditional use permit was filed with the Land Services department of Burnett County. “There is a wonderful history of Bible camps on Big Wood Lake,” said Carol Downhour, who is named as an affected property owner in the lawsuit, “but I’m not convinced we’ll actually end up with a Bible Camp. At the spring meeting of the Big Wood Lake Association, Pat Kinsella said he doesn’t have a plan. The most he would say was that he’s building a Bible Camp with a ‘twist’. The public has a right to know what that ‘twist’ will be. Is it a massive RV Park? Is it a year-round resort that is occasionally rented to church groups? The Kinsellas are leaving their neighbors in the dark.” The statement alleges the new owners are not planning on keeping the camp as a bible camp. It states the last time it was used as a bible camp was in August 2017. “In this suit, Concerned Citizens seeks to get clarity from the Kinsellas on their plans for the former Bible camp property,” the Concerned Citizens of Big Wood Lake statement concludes. “The suit also insists that the new owners follow County and Town zoning requirements, with an opportunity for public input on the project. Concerned Citizens is fighting to protect Big Wood Lake and preserve the rural character of our small community.”

‘There is a wonderful history of Bible camps on Big Wood Lake.’

Dear Mr. Editor, publish my letter

etters to the editor are important to all newspapers but especially important to newspapers like the Sentinel. They are a place for a public forum. Readers can have their voices heard on almost any topic. Maybe it’s about something in the community or maybe it’s in response to a story we’ve published or any number of other things. Why is he telling us this stuff we already know? Good question. And congrats on being a well-informed reader who knows the importance of supporting their local newspaper. A mistake was made by me a couple of weeks ago with a letter to the editor. I know what you’re thinking, “What? Did he make an error? He’s been explaining his perfection Sentinel to us for almost two years. This doesn’t make any sense.” That was Editor a joke, I am far from perfect but Jonathan Richie will continue to do my best. But it’s true, I messed up. A letter to the editor was submitted by a longtime Grantsburg resident regarding the airport. He was detailing several facts about the airport’s courtesy car and how easy it is to access it. I read it and wasn’t sure the information should be published. So I shared it with the person in charge of the airport in its entirety. Big mistake. Anyway, this was a learning moment for me and I discussed it with my boss. Then I sat down with the letter writer, explained what my thought process was and the conversation ended with me apologizing for my mistake. In a surprise twist, he said he doesn’t hold a grudge against me because the airport has changed several processes at the airport regarding the courtesy car. His letter served its purpose without being published. That being said, please continue to submit your letters on time and within the guidelines (we’ll get to those in a minute) and the Sentinel will publish them unless they are libelous, make other unsubstantiated claims or anything else that is inappropriate for this publication. We often get generic letters from places like New Hampshire and Las Vegas, but we do not publish those. This is your local newspaper and the letters should be from your community not some think tank in Coral Gables, Florida pushing their agenda to thousands of different newspapers. So let’s go over our guidelines one more time for those new to the process. Letters must be submitted to me at editor@burnettcountysentinel.com before noon on Monday. These guidelines are not made to deter letters but to have uniformity across all letters. That way Joe Schmoe doesn’t read a 550 word from Larry Shmae and say, “Well he did this and now it’s my turn.” And finally, the title of this column is meant to be sung with the same melody as “Dear Mr. Fantasy” by Traffic recorded in 1967. Feel free to give me a call at 715-463-2341 or send me an email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com

t won’t be long now. The day that students and parents have been anticipating will soon be upon us: the first day of school. It’s a big deal, in many ways. Transitions and milestones are marked with the first class bell and families settle into a new routine. The greater community gets on board as well and everything is right with the world. Well, maybe not everything. The ongoing epidemic of mass shootings in our nation continues, giving everyone a sense of unease. Earlier this month we had two events From the Publisher’s on the same weekend. While politicians and pundits argue about mental Desk health and gun control, the rest of us try to find ways to keep our loved Tom Stangl ones safe. S h ’ a parent to do? How about a bulletproof So, what’s backpack? Yes, it’s a thing. Concerned parents can purchase a backpack with built in panels made of Kevlar, the same material used for body armor. Others sell an insert that is “bullet resistant” that can be placed inside an existing backpack. Manufacturers claim that the backpacks can protect from handgun and shotgun fire, but will not withstand semi-automatic weapon fire. Some are on sale now at office supply stores and online. Look, I understand why we want to find a magic solution to protect our children and grandchildren. It is unthinkable to ponder the loss of our loved ones to random acts of violence. In my opinion, a bullet proof backpack is the wrong choice for several reasons. Will it be where it is needed if the worst happens? Backpacks are usually kept in lockers. Will your child

have the presence of mind to use it properly? This column is one of those that sounded good in my mind but breaks my heart to write. When I saw these products in a news story I immediately thought about the 1950s film, “Duck and Cover,” shown to school age children with tips about surviving a nuclear attack. Folks of a certain age may recall the movie that advised hiding under your desk or any safe spot after seeing the flash of a nuclear bomb. If you quickly “ducked and covered,” taking care to protect your head and face with your arms, you would be OK. Sure it’s silly to watch the film now, but the government had to offer some advice as the arms race ratcheted up in the years after World War II. Giving instruction that’s easy to remember to children is a good idea, even if the advice is seriously compromised from the start. I think a bulletproof backpack is about the same. If it gives a parent peace of mind, I’m all for it. If you can explain what it is to your child without making them more fearful, more power to you. But don’t believe that this is the answer to school safety. Many who choose to be violent were teased, bullied and unloved as children. While we wait for politicians, we need to plant the seeds of the real solution. Treating each other as we would like to be treated can only help the situation. I hope parents can teach their children to be kind to one another. In the end, finding ways to look out for each other as human beings will provide far more protection than a Kevlar reinforced backpack. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

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.

Northwest WI Deserves More Mental Health Resources REPRESENTATIVE GAE MAGNAFICI

Last month, I had the opportunity to attend a public hearing for the Speaker’s Task Force on Adoption in Balsam Lake. The hearing covered a number of topics related to adoption, and speakers with a wide variety of views and opinions on the subject of adoption took time Gae out of their day to provide firsthand Magnaﬁci testimony about their experiences. Among those offering their perDistrict 28 spective was Polk County Sheriff Representative Brent Waak. With clear frustration in his voice, Sheriff Waak described how Governor Evers vetoed a portion of the state legislature’s budget that allocated $15 million for a mental health care facility in Eau Claire. According to the Sheriff, many issues the Department faces on a daily basis stem from or are exacerbated by mental health issues. All too often, people that would otherwise seek out mental health resources may turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate when the resources they need are hours away. Sheriff Waak’s testimony is not first time I have

heard local law enforcement emphasize the need for more mental healthcare access in our area. Law enforcement frequently cite Chapter 51 cases as one of the largest drain on department resources that they face. Chapter 51 cases involve the involuntary detainment of mentally ill patients who are exhibiting substantial harm to themselves or others. This is a concern for Waak and other members of our law enforcement community because they’re required by law to send two officers from our local police departments to drive patients five hours to Winnebago County Mental Health Institute. This extended travel time is a tremendous burden to patients, officers, and departments – and means these officers are occupied driving across the state instead of at home protecting our communities. In instances like these, having a facility just down the road in Eau Claire would make a tremendous difference, helping to free up our officers for other critical work. Recently, Rep. Rob Stafsholt has been spearheading one potential solution to this problem. Stafsholt is proposing a pilot program in which patients in these cases would receive treatment in our area, instead of being driven across the state. Ideally, this program will allow patients to receive treatment closer to home. Treating patients

in our own area is beneficial for them, the families and friends who come to support them, and the law enforcement that can reduce the amount of resources they must devote to travel for these cases. On Friday, I will also be meeting with other northwest Wisconsin legislators to discuss the next steps for pursuing a regional mental health care facility, similar to the one vetoed by Governor Evers. With rates of mental illness on the rise, it is imperative that we increase the availability of mental health services in Wisconsin as we continue to address the underlying causes of such illnesses. I believe a regional facility is crucial for the continued improvement of mental healthcare in our area, and I look forward to working with my fellow legislators, law enforcement, and DHS representatives to find a solution that both Republicans and Democrats will support. Northwest Wisconsin deserves more mental health resources. As the legislative session continues, I look forward to supporting these two initiatives along with others that will no doubt be proposed. If you have ideas on this topic that you’d like to share with me, I encourage you to reach out to me at rep.magnafici@ legis.wisconsin.gov or at 608-267-2365.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Diphtheria correction Dear Editor, I much enjoy the Burnett County History shorts by Kayla Casey, most recently on deaths from diphtheria in the early 20th Century. My Jensen and Thoreson ancestors came from arctic Norway to Grantsburg in 1862. Death certificates indicate many children of those immigrants died from infectious diseases including diphtheria. I offer a small correction to Ms. Casey’s report: Diphtheria is not a viral disease, but a bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diph-

Christians Wake Up! theriae. This is important because antibiotics developed later in the 20th Century readily cured Diphtheria. Doctors rarely diagnose diphtheria now because Americans have a high level of immunity to diphtheria thanks to the DPT immunization; “D” is for the diphtheria vaccine, developed in the 1920s. There were 15,700 deaths from diphtheria in 1921 and virtually none recently thanks to parents who get their children immunized. Norman Jensen, Madison and Siren

‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ returns Dear Editor, During the busy summer travel season and throughout the year, we’re committed to making our communities and roadways as safe as possible. As part of these efforts, Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers will join law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin during the ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled” campaign from Aug. 16 through Labor Day (Sept. 2). Officers will be working extra hours looking for reckless driving behaviors, but the goal is not to simply stop or cite motorists. The real purpose is to discourage people from ever making the dangerous and irresponsible decision to get behind the wheel impaired. Alchol-related crashed remail a significant concern. Every 2.5 hours in Wisconsin, someone is injured or killed in an alcohol-related crash. We continue to see problems with drugged driver- people whose ability to safely operate a motor vehicle is compromised by illegal drugs like heroin, along with prescription or over-the-counter medications. To help identify impaired drivers and get them off roadways, Wisconsin has 23 milti-jursdictional OWI enforcement task forces that operate throughout the year. Nearly 5,000 Wisconsin law enforcement officers are trained in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement. Citizens can help in many ways. Never allow someone to drive impaired. If you see a driver that you suspect is impaired, call 911 and proved as much detail as you can. Protect yourself and your passengers by buckling up, watch your speed, be patient and alert. Thanks for your cooperating in helping us keep our streets and highways safe in Burnett County. Tracy Finch, Sheriff Burnett County Dan Wald, Grantsburg Police Chief Chris Sybers, Siren Police Chief Stephanie Wedin, Webster Police Chief

Dear Editor, This letter is not conceived in hate, fear, or radicalism. We have done our research, seen all the arguments, and witnessed the name-calling and mud slinging from both sides of the fence. We are grieved that the very people who profess Jesus will so quickly use His name and His words to manipulate, fight amongst one another, and justify ignorance. We profess “love” and yet our words and actions say different. Is this what we want to speak to a lost world? They are already well acquainted with this behavior. What if we resolved our conflicts in a manner befitting of whom we say we are? We understand there comes a time when we must take a stand for our beliefs and a call to action is not only necessary but prudent. Will name calling, hatred, threats, and malicious behavior further our cause or will it only add toxic fuel to an already inflamed fire? Will attacking each other glorify the One who we profess to represent? In the Bible Saul thought he was doing God a favor as he persecuted Christians. He was rebuked

severely. Luther Point Bible Camp you profess to uphold Biblical values. Concerned Christians you profess the same. Yet name calling, fighting, slander, and threats abound. If I were a non-believer witnessing this behavior all done in the name of the One you were trying to persuade me to profess, I would say, “No thank you.” I’m sure as you read this you will point a finger at the “opposition” and say, “Shame on you!” If our eyes were on man alone we would denounce our faith in disgust. But we have chosen to keep our eyes firmly fixed on the One who IS truth. The Lord we serve is mighty to bring justice where justice needs to be served, and it is to Him we petition and to Him we voice our complaints. Lest we deceive ourselves God will not be mocked and what is done in secret will be exposed; what is done is darkness will be brought to light. Let us not fear what man can do. Let us have a healthy fear of what God can do. One day every one of us will stand alone before a just God. We will be called to account for our every word and action. Bill and Leesa Shultz Grantsburg

Response to Luther Point article Dear Editor, In the article written by Suzanne Vitale last week, Imam Ahad Zaman, the Executive Director of MAS downplayed any concerns that people might have about his Muslim group renting Luther Point Bible Camp. Vitalie quoted Zaman as saying, “The goal of any retreat, Lutheran or Muslim, is the same.” He went on to state, “The mere act of teaching Islam fights against radicalization. Islam simply doesn’t allow it.” However, the Muslim American Society stated on their own own site, “The purpose of this camp is to transform the attendees so they emerge from the eeek with a deeper understanding of the mission of the Prophet Muhammed, a new love for worship, and a renewed commitment to the cause of Islam. Many U.S. authorities would disagree with Zaman’s statement. In fact, Minneapolis is the epicenter of national concern related to Islamic radicalization Minneapolis Muslims are watched by the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, radical Islamic recruitment leaders and the news media. According to the FBI, “Minneapolis leads the nation in young men who left, or sought to leave the country, to fight wars led by Islamic terrorist groups.” Other credible research done with Muslims in

the U.S. gives us further insight. According to the Pew Research Center, 49% of U.S. Muslims are very concerned about domestic extremism in the name of Islam in the United States. Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of England, has created the Global Extremism Monitor. According to his report, in 2017, 120 different Islamic extremist groups were identified who committed 7,841 violent Islamic extremism attacks in 66 countries. These attacks killed 80,023 people and injured thousands more. Often times the Muslim jihadists referenced their Islamic faith and referred to following the teachings of Allah and Muhammed and quoted the Quran. What do we know about the extent of Islamic Extremists in America? There are about 3.5 million Muslims in America. According to a Gallup Poll in 2007 and a more recent Pew Research Center report, 5-10% of Muslims in America are radicalized. That would mean we have between 175,000 to 350,000 potential Islamic extremists willing to commit acts of violence, terror and even die for Allah in our country alone. Keep in mind that only 19 Islamic extremists were involved in 9-11. Do we have reason to express concern about this Camp in our community? I think so. With Concern, Diane Brask, Grantsburg

Former Sentinel owner, Bradford passes away

Scope for livestock moratorium discussed JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

KAYLA CASEY, SENTINEL STAFF

Robert Lee Bradford passed away August 14, 2019 at Abbott NW Hospital after struggling with pulmonary fibrosis and pneumonia. Bradford was 80 years old. He had many family members that were with him that day including his wife, children and grandchildren. Bradford was a former owner of the Burnett County Sentinel when he purchased it from the Nelson family in 1994. He owned the Sentinel for a number of years before he sold it to Jim Huckle. Huckle later sold it to the Johnson family who still own the paper today. In the 1850s, Bradfordâ€™s great-grandmother, Mary Armistead, bought land in Sherburne County, Minn and he could trace his maternal family back to the early 1800s when they were among the early settlers of Jackson County, Minn. Bradford was the great-great-grandson of Lt. Col. George Armistead who was the commander of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Verndale and Moose Lake, Minn. are the two towns that Bradford grew up in before attending Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA and eventually graduating from the University of North Dakota in 1960. After graduation, he began working at the Austin Daily Herald before he joined his father in business at the Moose Lake Star Gazette in 1963. One year previously on July 14, 1962, he married the love of his life, Betsy Oswald Bradford on July 14, 1962. Together they would have three wonderful children; Robert III, Elizabeth and Justin. Bradford was a brilliant and fastidious newspaper man. He was always chasing the truth and putting out excellent newspapers. Over the years, Bradford would own a great number of newspaper companies including the Barnum Herald, Northfield News, Waseca County News, St. Peter Herald, Madelia Times-Messenger, St. James Plaindealer, Redwood Gazette, Montevido American News, Granite Falls Advocate-Tribune, Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch, Janesville Argus, LeSeur News-Herald, LeCenter Leader, New Richmond News, Burnett County Sentinel, Cokato-Dassel Enterprise-Dispatch and the New Ulm Post-Review. He was highly regarded by his fellow colleagues and even made Publisher of the Year by the Wisconsin Newspaper Association in 1973. Among owning newspapers, Bradford was also a member of many civic organizations in Moose Lake, New Richmond and Northfield. He had also been a proud member of the Minnesota National Guard from 1961-1969. As of late, Bradford and his wife have been living in Florida and have been maintaining a home in Minneapolis, Minn. They were members of several different clubs and councils in Florida including being a donor and patron of the Broward Center for Performing Arts Foundation. Bradford will be greatly missed by his many colleagues, friends and family members.

They have been given 12 months and $20,000 to study the facilities with over 1,000 animal units. Their task was outlined by the Natural Resources committee last month after opposition grew from a CAFO proposed to be built in Trade Lake. â€œThe purpose of this ordinance is to allow Burnett County to impose a moratorium providing adequate time to study, review, consider and determine whether amendments to the Livestock Facilities Licensing Ordinance or creation of a Livestock Facilities Zoning Ordinance is required to protect public health or safety in Burnett County in light of the unique environment and the Burnett County Comprehensive Plan.

Annual ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign begins Friday – runs through Labor Day To enhance public safety and deter impaired driving, hundreds of Wisconsin law enforcement agencies will patrol in greater numbers for longer hours during the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign that begins Friday (Aug. 16) and continues through Labor Day (Sept. 2). The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) utilizes federal funds to support the stepped-up law enforcement efforts, public education and outreach on the dangers of impaired driving. Burnett County Sheriff’s Officers along with Grantsburg, Siren and Webster Police Departments will be participating in the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. “As we approach the last major holiday of the summer season, we’re asking for the cooperation of all motorists to help us prevent needless tragedies along our roadways by being safe, alert and responsible every time they travel,” WisDOT Secretary-designee Craig Thompson said. Sobering statistics • Every 2.5 hours in Wisconsin, someone is injured or killed in an alcohol-related crash. Last year (2018) in Wisconsin: • there were 6,255 alcohol-related crashes that injured 3,293 people and resulted in 159 deaths; • nearly 28% of traffic fatalities were alcoholrelated; • there were 24,624 OWI convictions.

• While drunk driving remains a concern, Wisconsin and many states see a growing problem with drugged drivers - people whose ability to safely operate a motor vehicle is compromised by legal medications (prescription or over-the-counter) and/or illegal drugs (heroin, marijuana, etc.). To combat the problem, Wisconsin currently has: • Nearly 5,000 law enforcement officers trained in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) to help detect and remove impaired drivers from roadways. • 301 highly-trained Drug Recognition Experts among the most in the nation. • 23 multi-jurisdictional, high-visibility OWI enforcement task forces that operate year-round across the state. Making responsible choices: • If you plan to celebrate, identify a sober designated driver. Never allow someone else to get behind the wheel impaired. • Drivers can be arrested for OWI even if their blood-alcohol content is below 0.08 if it’s determined their level of impairment makes them unable to safely operate a motor vehicle. • Under Wisconsin’s “not a drop” law, drivers under age 21 are prohibited from having any detectable amount of alcohol in their system. Drivers are also prohibited from having any detectable

Don’t wait. Vaccinate! ANNA TREAGUE, RN, BURNETT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH

With the start of school just around the corner, now is a great time to look up your family’s immunization records to see if anyone needs any recommended vaccinations. Visit the Wisconsin Immunization Registry to access your records at www.dhfsWIR.org. Vaccines are very safe and may only cause minor side effects such as soreness at the injection site or a slight fever. Serious reactions are very rare. The risks associated with the diseases that you or your child could get by not being vaccinated are far greater than the risk of a vaccine reaction. Many vaccine preventable diseases are still prevalent around the world. If we stop vaccinating against these diseases, many more people will become infected. All children should be seen by a physician for regular well child check-ups. During these visits, they will receive vaccinations to protect them against 14 preventable diseases. Wisconsin State Law requires that children are up-to-date on immunizations before entering school. If children are not up to date on immunizations, they can be forced to stay home from school during outbreaks, potentially missing several weeks of class. There are some recommended adolescent vaccinations too. All children 11-12 years of age should receive the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination to protect against certain forms of cancer; the meningococcal vaccine which protects against meningitis; and the Tdap vaccination to protect against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). Adults should also continue to receive the Tdap vaccine. If you are over the age of 60, talk to your doctor about the pneumonia and shingles vaccines. Plus, everyone six months and older should receive an annual influenza (flu) shot. Getting the recommended immunizations protects you, your loved ones and the community. Talk to your health care provider about getting up to date on vaccinations today! “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org.

Back to Birch Point AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, There are a few places where my travels take me that I am at complete peace from the time I arrive until long after I return home. Birch Point Resort in Chippewa County near Bloomer is a resort/ way of life that I love to visit. My pals, twin brothers Paul and Dave Maire, have been running Birch Point for 26-years and this year this historic resort and restaurant turned 100. The fishing is incredible for panfish, the food is home cooked on weekends by Elaine Stuckert and her staff, and the tavern is well run by the Maire’s as well as Steve Kiesow, Colleen Lorenz and others. If you come here, you will have an immediate thought that you have gone back in time to 1955 where everyone is fun and nice in a setting where just about every building is older than me, and in some cases, much older. Friday, Aug. 9 High 81, low 57 Just because we love it here, Selina and I arrived at 10:30 last night after a big day for both of us. Selina wanted to go on one more trip with me before I take her to Stevens Point in two weeks and become an empty nester for the first time in 25-years. Selina, without hesitation, chose Birch Point as she has been coming here since

she was 6-months old and everyone seems like family here. Today would be our very casual day, we did not start fishing until I cooked a good breakfast and then I launched the boat and we hit the water. We used to anchor and fish with bobbers and standard hooks and catch plenty of bluegill. About five years ago, like many of the fishermen here, I began drifting with ice fishing jigs in the deepest part of the lake which appears to be about 9-feet. This method is brainless, productive and lots of fun. One pole a person is simply lowered straight down. Another has a bobber on it and the person in the front throws it forward and the person in the back throws theirs to the rear. Hopefully there is a wind and all you do is enjoy the view. Over the course of the weekend we used red worms, wax worms, small pieces of night crawlers and Gulp on the jigs and it did not seem to matter what we used, we caught fish. Saturday, Aug. 10 High 79, low 54 Selina and I have a longtime friend here and his name is Reece Frase. Reece is a senior at Fall Creek High School and his parents have a permanent campsite here at Birch Point. I met Reece when he was a very young boy fishing from shore in front of my cabin. I always made Reece and his friends like family and also tried teaching them a few things.

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

Fast forward ten-years and Reece is a very skilled outdoorsman both fishing and hunting wise. Reece and Selina are really good friends, they stay in touch year-round, and Reece would spend the last 30-hours of this trip with us. Along with Fire and Ruby we drifted in the WarEagle for two days and had a hoot as the gills and crappie added up in the live well. We had a snapper that was big enough to eat a baby that seemed to be following us and we told stories and laughed a lot. Reece has been working for his father in his septic tank installation business as well as the family’s tree business and that is what he plans on doing after high school. Like everyone else, Reese has lots to think about, and a serious knee injury during his homecoming football game last fall has him asking himself the question of should he being playing a sport he loves this fall. On the first night Selina and I ate at the buffet in the restaurant overlooking the lake and I just kept thinking about the first time I talked to Paul Maire back in 2001 and the incredible experiences that I have had with so many people here the last 18-years. We arrived home Sunday night, I was crazy tired. Selina had several friends waiting for their “bud” to get home and I thought, this has been a good and honorable experience raising a girl to become a young outdoorswoman. Sunset.

Many residents at HSBC would not be available for adoption if they or their parents were spayed or neutered. Here are two examples of why HSBC is diligent in making sure residents receive this procedure. Chickie is a three-yearold, golden-eyed, glossy o black shorthair cat. b S She was surrendered to tthe shelter along with ttwo sons, one daughter a and four grandchildren b because there were too m many cats in the home. IImagine being a grandm mother at the age of 30 ((the human equivalent of Chickie Chickie’s age)! A medium-sized cat at 10 pounds, Chickie is good with kids, enjoys attention and hanging out. She is ready to live the good life and can’t wait to meet you! A gentle giant, Big Guy certainly lives up to his name! This two-and-a-half-year, 87-pound German Shepherd came to HSBC as an unclaimed stray; as an intact male, he may have wandered miles away from home looking for a girlfriend. Despite his size, Big Guy is a calm, gentle and watchful fellow who defers to people when unsure. He knows sit, and shake, takes treats with care, and has many years to learn all kinds of things! Big Guy is waiting to finish some minor medical treatments (including his neuter) before he can join a new family. Big Guy According to the ASPCA, altered pets not only don’t contribute to pet overpopulation, but they also have fewer incidents of reproductive tumors and cancers. Pets altered at a young age don’t develop many of the issues that pop up around heat cycles, including the tendency for males to mark and roam. Neutered males also show less aggressive behaviors or the desire to mount due to the reduction in testosterone. Additionally, the price of the spay/neuter surgery saves the potential costs of caring for an undesired litter. Consider the cost of spaying/neutering your pet as an investment in the future health and well-being of your pet. HSBC information—7410 County Road D, Webster, WI 54873. Telephone: 715-349-2368.

SIREN SENIORS by Nona Severson

It has been brought to my attention that there is a rumor going around that the Siren Senior Center is closed. This is not true – we are open with several activities going on. The meals for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are being prepared in Webster and brought to Siren. You can call the center and order your meal to be delivered to Siren. Other activities for the Center are Wii bowling Tuesday at nine, exercise Wednesday at 9:30, 500 cards 1 p.m. Wednesday, spade cards Friday at 1 p.m. We have a potluck on the second Wednesday at 11:30, and evening meal on the third Wednesday of the month at 5 p.m. Our center hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday. Come in and have coffee with us. Our center is air-conditioned so if you need a place to cool off on these hot days, come and join us. We are going to have anoth-

the application and return it to the school (unless notiÂżed at the start of the school year that children are eligible through direct certiÂżcation). Additional copies are available at the ofÂżce in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be veriÂżed at any time during the school year by agency or other program ofÂżcials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. To obtain free or reduced price meals for children in a household where one or more household members receive FoodShare, FDPIR, or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash beneÂżts, list the FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number, program name, list the names of all school children, sign the application, and return it to the school ofÂżce. For the school ofÂżcials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meals of households not receiving FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 cash beneÂżts, the household must provide the following information requested on the application: names of all household members, total number of household members, and the adult signing the application form must also list the last four digits of his or her Social Security Number or mark the box to the right of â€œCheck if no SSNâ€?. Also, the income received by each household member must be provi,ded by amount and source (wages, welfare, child support, etc.). Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal, Karen Miller, Determining OfÂżcial, Phone: 715-463-5499, Email: kmill@gk12.net, will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisÂżed with the ruling of the ofÂżcial, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the determining ofÂżcial on an informal basis. If the parent/guardian wishes to make a formal appeal, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to: Joshua Watt, 480 E. James Ave, Grantsburg, WI 54840 Phone: 715-463-5499, Email: jwatt@gk12.net. If a hearing is needed to appeal the decision, the policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make the household eligible for reduced price meals or free meals or if the household income falls at or below the levels shown above, and they may reapply at that time. Children formally placed in foster care are also eligible for free meal beneÂżts. Foster children may be certiÂżed as eligible without a household application. Households with foster children and non-foster children may choose to include the foster child as a household member, as well as any personal income available to the foster child, on the same application that includes their non-foster children. The information provided by the household on the application is conÂżdential. Public Law 103-448 limits the release of student free and reduced price school meal eligibility status to persons directly connected with the administration and enforcement of federal or state educational programs. Consent of the parent/guardian is needed for other purposes such as waiver of text book fees. NON-DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT: In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, ofÂżces, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for beneÂżts. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English. To Âżle a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at: http://www. ascr.usda.gov/complaint_Âżling_cust.html, and at any USDA ofÂżce, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form.

AUGUST 21, 2019

The old and the new As I am driving around our county, I often listen to Public Radio (Wisconsin or Minnesota). One of the phrases that I frequently hear is that “all music was once new”. The “oldies” we like to sing, dance to, that cause tears, laughter, or just fond memories, were once new songs. They have stood the test of time and became great favorites and standards, at least to us. This causes me to think about my “spiritual oldies” songs and verses. There was a time in all of our lives that all Scripture and Bible songs were new. We learned them in

Sunday School, Vacation Bible School or at home. They became a part of our lives and our faith walk and were on our lips and in our hearts. There are times now that we hear a verse or Bible story that is new to us, or a new hymn or Scripture chorus. These new experiences are important, and we accept them into our spiritual memories and lives. They become favorite songs and verses we turn to for strength and assurance. I believe that these opportunities are sent by the Holy Spirit to help us grow in the grace and

knowledge of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Malachi 3:10 challenges us to test out these new and old tools as means to prepare for our continued walk of faith with our God. It is good to have the “oldies” and the “newbies” as they strengthen, lead, comfort, and empower us to be People of God. As we enter that time of year when we begin our fall programs again in our churches and learn new ways to serve our community as Children of God, may we be blessed with the old and the new.

Sen. Schachtner, Lieutenant Governor Barnes tour storm damage in St. Croix Community

ST. CROIX–– Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes joined with Senator Patty Schachtner (D- Somerset) in Polk County Aug. 14 to tour recent storm damage and meet with local leaders near Round Lake in the St. Croix community. Several weeks ago, the area experienced severe storms with straight line winds that reached 90100 mph, as well as hail and heavy rain. The storm caused extensive damage to crops, homes, trees and power lines. The St. Croix Chippewa Tribe is working with the Department of Emergency Management to clean up the damage and begin to rebuild. After spending the morning meeting with Chairwoman Susan Lowe and Intergovernmental Affairs Specialist Pete LaBlanc to discuss this effort, Senator Schachtner and Lieutenant Governor Barnes visited a storm damage site near Round Lake. “The amount of damage this community has experienced seems overwhelming, but I know that with the support and generosity present in our area, they will be able to rebuild. I often talk about the resiliency and strength of the people of western Wisconsin, and in the wake of this storm we have seen it in action,” said Senator Schachtner. Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes stated, “The storms that hit our state earlier this month have

had a devastating impact on the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin. I applaud the tribe for working quickly to ensure all tribal members remained safe and I also applaud the other tribes of Wisconsin for lending a helping hand during clean-up. After seeing

the damage, it’s clear there is still much work to be done. I look forward to seeing Polk County and the state of Wisconsin do all they can to assist the St. Croix Chippewa during this time of need. It’s critical for the safety of all people in the impacted area.” Residents that experienced damage to their property due to the storms that occurred between July 18 and July 20 are encouraged to call 2-1-1 or 877-947-2211 for information on volunteer assistance that may be available in their area. Governor Tony Evers announced on Friday August 2, 2019 that the state is requesting that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conduct a Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) in Wisconsin. The PDA will look at 17 counties and two tribal reservations impacted by storms that occurred in the state July 18-20. Teams from FEMA and Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) will work with local, tribal and state officials in viewing public infrastructure damage. The PDA will not be assessing damage done to individual homes, cabins or businesses. Counties covered by the PDA request are Barron, Clark, Forest, La Crosse, Langlade, Marinette, Menominee, Monroe, Oconto, Oneida, Outagamie, Polk, Portage, Rusk, Vernon, Waupaca, and Wood counties, along with tribal lands of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, and the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin.

Uprooted trees in front yards were a familiar sight after the storms in July. The National Weather service did clarify that the storm on July 28 did include an F1 tornado that touched down in Luck.
