... is not necessarily good news.

A hollow shell without the news of your community

I

f we didn’t have newspapers, think of all that would be lost. As community newspapers, we have a long tradition of providing you with the news and information that helps you make critical decisions and stay informed.

But we also serve as a watchdog of government, we strive to capture the moments in life that define our communities, and we hope to entertain and inspire by sharing your stories.

The newspaper is your resource because without you, there is no community.

It is your stories of struggles won and lost that help shape who we are and how we come together as people. Your courageous

fight against disease, the emotional and sometimes daunting first day of school for child and parent, the heartache of a home leveled by tornado or destroyed by fire, the joy of a state championship title or a single win for a team that has been denied for weeks, the street assessment being proposed by your city or the new park being planned down the street, the mayor who made good on his campaign promise or the legislator who failed to vote the will of the people. All of these are snapshots of what is shared in your newspaper.

Without the newspaper acting in an objective role to collect, investigate, interview, verify and share all of this informa-

tion, our connections as individuals and community would be compromised and perhaps break down completely.

This “Whiteout Day” is being held to recognize all that we hold true and important for strong communities. Our pledge to you is our continued effort to find and explain trusted stories, issues and information that are relevant for your lives. It’s what newspapers have been doing for generations.

And with your continued support, it’s what we will continue to do.

Imagine there’s no newspaper...think of all we’d lose?

Chief Spafford happy to see kids riding safe

BY SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER—Fifteen years ago, Webster Police Chief Mike Spafford took bike and road safety education and mixed it with a tinge of creativity.

“We were receiving a lot of complaints about kids not wearing helmets and not looking left and right when crossing the street,” he said.

This kind of behavior exists everywhere and without a proper nip in bud, it carries into adulthood. In any type of residential area, whether in

rural or urban areas, people are seen taking a chance and racing across the road in unmarked areas, areas cars expect to be pedestrian free.

This is why Spafford started the Bicycle Rodeo.

Every year for 15 years during Gandy Dancer Days, the Webster Police and Fire Departments organize an interactive classroom on the streets of Webster. Officials explain the importance of helmets, proper signals for cyclists to communicate with vehicles, and even how to negotiate a round-a-bout. Officials draw roads with twists and turns which the children must ride through and perform all the proper signals.

However, before the talks begin, all participants are entered into a drawing for a free bike. The raffle offers multiple prizes and spans multiple age groups.

The first year of the rodeo, 30 children participated, and since, “it has snowballed,” said Spafford.

‘That lake is pretty, but why is it purple?’

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GOVERNMENT CENTER—Lake issues dominated the county’s Natural Resources Committee meeting Thursday, including one question about why some Burnett County lakes are looking very purple.

County Conservationist Dave Ferris said, “We are getting a lot of questions about that.”

A floating water plant called Purple Bladderwort is the reason. “Each stem produces many small, bright purple blossoms that are blooming like crazy right now,” Ferris explained. “It’s a SEE PURPLE LAKES, PAGE 12

Grantsburg HS gets a face-lift SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG— Students may run out the doors at the beginning of summer leaving desks to sit empty for three months straight; however, a school building is not a vacant, dusty shell until their return. Staff carry on with administrative duties and the cleaning is carried out on an escalated level.

And this year, even more than most, Grantsburg school buildings resembled that of beehives.

In the early months of 2017, the Grantsburg school board began looking over spare funds from the 201617 fund balance.

During the next several board meetings, GHS decided several areas of the campus were in need of a “face-lift.”

The high school was built in 1984, Superintendent Dr. Joni Burgin explained, and it is time for a bit of renovation.

The largest project undertaken was in the auditorium. While the room now sports a few fresh coats of paint, new ceiling tiles with more energy efficient LED lighting, and carpeting, the biggest installation is taking place throughout the week: new seating.

In order to install 348 seats, the old seating and two large, concrete sections of the floor were removed and replaced with two new slabs of concrete.

All projects were bid-out and the chair implementation project is being carried out by a Twin Cities company, H&B. In addition to the aesthetic renovations, the theater area will be implementing a new sound board and lighting board in the near future.

The cost of the auditorium renovation totals $142,852.

“This is a high-traveled area. There are many community events and classroom activities in here.

It’s always busy. It’ll be nice to have things a little more up to date,” said High School Principal Josh Watt.

“It’s a nice 34-year face-lift,” added Burgin.

This particular project began at the completion of summer school, less than one month ago.

“Best case scenario, seats and the carpet will be finished by the end of the week,” said Watts.

The first all-staff meeting of the 2017-18 school year will take place on August 31.

Several Grantsburg School District buildings are undergoing changes. Many older lighting fixtures will be replaced with LED lights while new paint will brighten up many rooms.

Another bit of renovation on the Grantsburg campus involves the football field—an ongoing project.

Three years ago GHS decided to take the “Michigan Approach,” adopted from Michigan State, a school with a well-known agriculture department.

This process was put into place to help deviate the long-time field drainage issue the football organization has faced.

Burgin explained the “Michigan Approach” offers an alternative to complete renovation of native soil fields with high silt and clay content and drainage problems. It is also a cost-effective solution which does not prohibit field use for long periods.

Three treatments were carried out on the field this summer. It is a “sand-capped” system utilizing a subservice drain tile system which is followed by sand topdressing that builds the soil profile over time.

These are steps for building a sand-capped system.

• Cutting drain lines in the existing field running length wise • Putting drain tile in the lines • Back filling with coarse sand • Installing an irrigation system Burgin stated, “An aggressive sand-based topdressing program was initiated and maintained using a coarse sand-based material. By adding ½ inch of sand every four weeks, our field grew new turf over the top of existing turf. The sand-top dressing is also top dressed with seed (new grass cultivators) and fertilizer.

“It’s come a long way from the way it looked a few years ago,” said Watts.

Grantsburg, i-Forward schools boast good numbers, new faces

BY SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG— The Grantsburg summer school program has wrapped up as the first days of the regular school year are right around the corner.

A total of 258 students participated in an array of classes throughout the summer which translates to 174 participating families.

Grantsburg Community Education (GCE) is also upbeat after reviewing participation numbers.

During the 2016-17 calendar year, 496 individuals registered to take part in classes and education-based trips. GCE coordinator Rebekah Stavne explained for class registrations alone, the number of participants totaled 197. She added the most popular class proved to be Spring Tone Up with instructor Natalie Doornink.

Stavne is excited to introduce the STAR Mentorship Program to GCE this coming year. While the program is in its infancy, the idea is to pair students with an “opportunity gap” with adult mentors to develop social and professional skills while learning how to build relationships built on trust and acceptance.

“Exposure to community needs will lead to social change in our community through the development and stronger awareness and accessibility to community resources, agencies, programs, and initiatives,” said Stavne. i-Forward news The online charter school principal Billy Beasley is proud to announce the school’s graduation rate is improving, and has been every year since the 201112 school year. The latest official rate comes in a 67.9 percent, an almost 10 percent increase from the 2010-11 school year.

“These are success stories right here,” board President Dave Dahlberg said while pointing to the chart.

Beasley explained the staff at i-Foward are excited about the constant increase. He mentioned i-Forward has close to an “open-door” policy, meaning it is rare the school turns students away unlike many other online schools. i-Forward is saying good-bye to two teachers, but is happy to welcome Ron Cerveny to the team. Cerveny is a science teacher who comes with a glowing recommendation from the Grantsburg Superintendent Dr. Joni Burgin who worked with Cerveny in Phillips in years previous.

“I can say in a brick and mortar school, he is fantastic,” she said.

Grantsburg Schools This past school year saw the end to Edwin Boneske’s time with Grantsburg as the band director as he has moved on to Rush City. However, the board is pleased to announce the position has been filled by Jennifer Gilhoi who worked previously in the Luck school district.

Gilhoi will be assisted by Paul M. Muller, also from Luck, as he will serve as a part-time band teacher.

High School Principal Josh Watt said, “His strength is with individual lessons. They will be a good team.”

The board also approved a contract for Jennifer Carlson who is set to be the new fifth grade teacher for the coming school year.

Housekeeping Four years have passed since the district parking lots were resurfaced and it is time for a bit of sealing. The board approved a bid from Superior Sealers for $15,201.00.

A&H ambulance project moving steadily forward

A&H—The new ambulance garage project in A&H took another step toward reality Thursday when the ambulance committee members signed a contract with Northwest Builders of Rice Lake for the estimated $110,000 project. The group already obtained the required building permits and has cut trees from the construction site northwest of the A&H Senior Center.

Organizers say they are “cautiously optimistic” but have a ways to go to meet their goal of raising $110,000.

About 85 people turned out on Wednesday, Aug. 9 to stuff 3,000 envelopes for a ambulance garage mailing fundraising campaign to all improved property addresses in the towns of Scott, Jackson and Webb Lake. Some checks from that mailing are coming in but more are needed, said cochairs Roger Larson and Mick Peterson.

On hand for the contract signing at the A&H Senior Center were representatives of North Ambulance, the Senior Center and the ambulance garage committee. The plan is to break ground before the end of August and finish the building by Dec. 1, one month ahead of the occupancy date.

The non-profit A&H Senior Center will own building and receive monthly rent from North Ambulance.

Contracts were signed at the A&H Senior Center on Thursday, Aug. 10 as the new A&H ambulance garage plan progresses.

Webster Village reviews finished projects, seeks bids for more

BY SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER— The school and village are midway through a project to keep students safe and off heavy traveled roads. The school district contracted Creative Masonry, a local Webster company, to implement a 700 ft long by eight ft wide sidewalk running east and west along Fairgrounds Road. The sidewalk begins at the skate park and continues past the press box at the football field, breaking only for the Gandy Dancer and the west end of the school parking lot.

This project cost the school approximately $20,000 and six weeks to complete due to weather complications.

The Webster Village board is looking for bids to construct a sidewalk on the opposite side of the road.

However, due to the current workload of many potential companies, the future of the project remains unknown. The projected cost is $32,000.

“The idea is to try and get the students off the street, especially in the winter months,” said Webster Superintendent Jim Erickson.

The old high school demolition project has come to an end as St. Croix Regional Medical Clinic hopes to break ground on the location within the next month. While the final numbers are not in, the board believes the project came in significantly under budget. It appears the cost was approximately $53,000.

Clunky I’ll throw it out there and see if anyone bites...

What is your writing process?

Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to speak with comedian Mary Mack. What intrigued me the most was the live performance edits. Mack records her open mic events and transcribes the recording and edits line by line.

There is a bit of a parallel between that and how many fiction writers edit. You must read aloud.

It seems simple: write the story (you know...so simple), read it out loud and listen for rhythm or lack of rhythm.

On one occasion in grad school, I spent several days on a particular scene in a short story. I was excited as the idea came to me on a bus one day while looking through a window and saw a dog running along scattered foothills.

I wrote and rewrote each sentence and finally handed it over to the Sentinel class for workshop. Well, somehow, quite possibly due to my over-exciteEditor ment, I never read it aloud to myself.

Sean Devlin My cheeks turned red partway through reading it to the class and instructor. I stumbled, mispronounced words, stopped mid-sentence more than a few times. My mouth felt not my own and my tongue seemed knotted ten times over.

Repetitions were abundant as flies on roadkill. It was ugly.

What made it worse was that I knew better. I let my excitement take hold all the way through the end of my piece, and I abandoned technique, craft, and self-control.

So, my classmates critiqued the story. Overall, the reviews were decent - not outstanding - not horrible.

What I learned that day is how to harness creativity (not completely because I don’t believe one should monitor too closely).

The chat with Mack reminded me of that day in class, the day my classmates smiled at me and my instructor said, “Read it out loud.”

While Mack’s process is not something out of the ordinary, it is something of a practiced hand— she is in partial control of her creativity.

No piece of fiction or a poem from my pen has gone unread aloud since.

Reading out loud something you’ve written can seem like the first encounter.

If you are as interested in the process of others as I am, I’d love to hear. Tell me about your process or a process you admire in someone else.

Reading out loud is just one part of a process of creating another world or comedy skit.

Have a good think about yours and share it if you’d like. It can be fun to venture down another avenue every once in a while.

You know where to find me. editor@burnettcountysentinel.com 715-463-2341.

Left intentionally blank I have to admit it, as an industry, newspapers are terrible at promoting their own brand.

We spend so much time carefully crafting the news and working with local merchants to make sure their messages are seen that we often do self-promotion as an afterthought.

It’s one of those mistakes that you have a really good explanation for why it happened. I’ll try.

For well over a century, newspapers of all types and sizes have shouldered the load to make sure our communities keep informed, and by extension, keep running.

Our reporters are often the only From the Publisher’s member of the general public that attend many governmental meetings.

Little old us, thanks to you. Your continued support as a subscriber or advertiser has kept us in business, just like it did in year one.

So, let’s talk about the front page, which was intentionally left (nearly) blank. This “white out” campaign is a subtle marketing ploy to raise awareness of the job we continue to do, week in and week out.

We are so dependable, many think of us as a utility, something that will always be here when we are needed, just like the electric company.

But what if we weren’t here? Where would you find out about the latest happenings? Where would you get the latest scores? Where would you find out about the triumphs and tragedies of your friends and neighbors?

Social media? Perhaps. But your uncle is a bit prone to exaggeration… A website or two or three? Maybe.

Sounds like a lot of screen time to me. You are holding the ultimate mobile news device in your hands, and it never needs to be recharged.

Well, you do need to renew it once a year or it stops coming to your door.

The bottom line is you are crucial to the continued success of this newspaper. It’s ok to take us for granted, but rest assured that we will never take YOU for granted.

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.

August: Supreme Court openness rulings a mixed bag

BY APRIL BARKER THE WISCONSIN OPENNESS REPORT

As befits a year in which anything, it seems, can happen, the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s public records docket this term was marked by atypical cases.

In Voces de la Frontera v. Clarke, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department redacted information from immigration detainer forms provided in response to public records requests, asserting that a federal immigration regulation required the redactions. A Milwaukee County judge and the Wisconsin Court of Appeals concluded that federal law did not require the redactions, but the Supreme Court disagreed.

Open government advocates were disappointed that the Supreme Court’s opinion focused almost exclusively on this interpretation of federal law, not the presumptions of openness enshrined in Wisconsin statutes.

In Teague v. Schimel, the court looked at whether the Wisconsin Department of Justice violated individuals’ rights by releasing background check materials that sometimes reflected the criminal records of other individuals with the same names and birthdates or that were used as aliases.

Those besmirched by the offenses of

others argued that lives were negatively affected as a result.

The Supreme Court agreed that Teague had reason to complain that his cousin’s record was released as his.

Openness advocates anticipate the ruling will not have a broad impact, because the issues it raised had less to do with transparency in government than allegations that government failed to correct defects in its process.

In Democratic Party of Wisconsin v.

Wisconsin Department of Justice, the court ruled that the Department of Justice does not have to release videos of training sessions that it argued would give away sensitive information about law enforcement techniques.

This decision especially disappointed open government advocates because of majority author Justice Rebecca Bradley’s suggestion that the partisan motivation of the requester could be taken into account, contrary to how the law has previously been interpreted. Already, this argument has been invoked in other cases.

In Krueger v. Appleton Area School District, the court determined that a school committee formed to review course materials was a “governmental body” subject to the Wisconsin open meetings law, rejecting arguments to

the contrary. It was a major win for openness and accountability.

The court took a big step backward when it decided to close its own administrative rule meetings which had previously been public. This result was unexpected and, to open government advocates, dismaying.

In its upcoming term, the court has agreed to hear Madison Teachers Union v. Scott, which stems from a union’s request for state records regarding which members had voted during a union recertification vote. The request was denied on grounds that the union would coerce and intimidate employees during the voting process.

The State Department of Justice cited Justice Bradley’s opinion regarding a requester’s motivation in a brief defending this denial.

Your Right to Know is a monthly column distributed by the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council (www. wisfoic.org), a group dedicated to open government. April Barker is the group’s co-vice president. The group filed friend of the court briefs in the cases involving Sheriff Clarke and the Appleton Area School District.

To the Editor: Are you an animal? Does your employer or former employer see you as an animal and treat you like one?

Would your employer hire an animal trainer from a zoo to train you and keep you in line? Does your employer surround the top of the building with netting to keep you from jumping off and committing suicide because the working conditions are brutal? Foxconn does.

Are you, the taxpayer, willing to mortgage and yoke yourself to a foreign company for more than $3 billion without any return to the taxpayers for the next 25 years or more? Each Wisconsin household will pay $1,200 to this company with no requirements to hire Wisconsin workers.

Are you willing to exempt a foreign company from an Environmental Impact Study? Are you willing to roll back environmental protections that all other companies must abide by?

Are you willing to give up control of our clean waters that could be tainted with toxic metals and contaminants?

Are you willing to expose employees to toxic dust and chemicals? After all, “electronics is a dirty business.”

Are you, the taxpayer, ready to foot the bill for cleaning up the environmental mess that will be created?

Are you okay with negating any potential state tax liability for a foreign company while the taxpayers continue to pay?

These are values questions we should all consider as we investigate the Foxconn (a very appropriate name) $3 billion, and probably more, giveaway of our state and our resources.

Is it any wonder that the “conn” deal is being rushed through the legislature as quickly as possible, waiving requirements that other companies must and do follow?

If we are going to mortgage ourselves with a $3 billion yoke, why not spread $3 billion all across the state to: • Support small businesses and family farms?

• Increase wages?

• Fund public education kindergarten through college to prepare our children and grandchildren for the 21st century?

• Provide quality daycare and preschool programs?

• Rebuild our roads, bridges, and infrastructure?

• Expand broadband?

• Invest in green energy?

Instead, Wisconsin will invest in Foxconn, a foreign company that views and treats its employees as “animals.” And, when the “animals” are replaced by robots, we will be stuck with the bill. Then what?

HAUGEN: Bail set in hit-and-run case CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

and the court agreed to the recommendation.

When the judge asked if the defense is willing to waive rights to a speedy trial, McLaughlin took Haugen into brief council. McLaughlin informed the court Haugen refused his advice to waive the rights.

“I’ve advised Mr. Haugen of the advantage of when facing a homicide charge you waive the time limits of a preliminary hearing within 20 days...

“You give your attorney more time to prepare. When you are facing 25 years in prison, this is smart in my opinion.

“But he has rejected my advice. So, therefore, he is going to get his preliminary hearing within 20 days. He’s not going to have me as his lawyer. He’s going to have somebody else. Because anyone who rejects my advice does not stay my client for very long,” said McLaughlin.

According to the criminal complaint filed in Burnett County Court from February, Oustigoff was struck after 10:53 p.m. the evening of June 14 and before 6:11 a.m. the morning of June 15.

The Burnett County Sheriff’s Department received an anonymous tip that Haugen struck a female with his white Dodge pickup truck and dragged her from the point of impact.

Haugen allegedly returned to his residence to clean the truck. There, he smeared animal blood on the vehicle to hide the damage.

A search of the vehicle by authorities “revealed a piece of cloth stuck between a clamp and a hose near the transmission.” Officers also detected an odor of decomposition by the driver’s side front tire after removing the tire.

Officers collected mud caked in that area. The oil pan was damaged and some rigid fluid lines on the driver’s side of the transmission were bent – damage consistent with a strike to the vehicle from underneath. They found several areas of what appeared to be biological material on the vehicle undercarriage.

The state crime lab reported the samples were consistent with those located at the scene.

It is reported by law enforcement that Haugen admitted to a third party that he had struck Oustigoff, stating “it was an accident and he did not mean to do it,” adding he was going down the road faster than he should have and that he ended up hitting someone. He was not sure if the person died or not and he “just took off.” The defendant said he never went back and later learned that Oustigoff was dead.

Haugen is currently in custody in Sawyer County in another open case.

He faces four counts of manufacturing and delivering methamphetamine and one count of maintaining a drug trafficking place. The charges stem back to August 2016.

Haugen is due to appear in Burnett County court for a preliminary hearing at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 17.

out of the house and Madeline told the deputy that Buckwheat had not taken his medication and “[Buckwheat] only acts like that in defense of his wife and children.”

The victim phoned a friend, Minda, who arrived at the house soon after. According to the complaint, Buckwheat left the property after telling Minda “I gave him what he deserved.”

Buckwheat pleaded no contest and the court imposed and stayed a sentence of 90 days probation. If probation is violated, a one-year jail sentence will be imposed.

Buckwheat may not work as a caregiver or any like employment during the term of probation or have any contact with the victim or appear where the victim lives.

GOVERNMENT CENTER— Melvin Buckwheat, 26, of Spooner was found guilty Monday of misdemeanor battery charges for an incident that occurred nearly two years ago in the Town of Scott.

Buckwheat was initially charged with intentionally subjecting an individual at risk to abuse – to cause bodily harm, crime against an elderly or disabled person. The charge was amended to a misdemeanor battery charge on Monday.

The incident took place at the home of the victim in the Town of Scott on Sept. 27, 2015. After 1 a.m. the homebound victim was verbally and physically abused by Buckwheat.

Buckwheat’s wife Madeline was the primary caregiver that night.

According to the criminal complaint, Madeline was preparing to help bathe the victim which he refused. The victim saw a urinal in the tub, which he believed that Madeline would empty in the tub drain, so he refused the bath. The victim stated, “Madeline does not take criticism well and became upset.”

After leaving the bathroom, the victim entered the bedroom and soon after, Buckwheat entered and “began straightening” him. The complaint states that Buckwheat told the victim “I’ll show you what helpless really feels like.”

The complaint stated that Buckwheat handled the victim in a rough fashion and eventually “held [the victim’s] head down and made [the victim] say please before [Buckwheat] let him go.”

To the Editor: This is a call to action to help our rural hospitals and rural healthcare. They already face financial challenges and now are at serious risk of losing more federal funding. Everyone’s help is needed.

I have started the call to action with a tool at Whitehouse.gov website. I am also sharing this message with Burnett County residents to ask for your help to get the word out and to take action.

Together, by notifying our friends and families and asking them to act, we can demonstrate the power of an engaged, grassroots effort in support of rural healthcare.

It is my sincere hope that you will support this initiative. It must begin from a rural community to bring much-needed attention to the impact of sequestration on Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) like Burnett Medical Center.

“Sequestration” refers to automatic spending cuts that occur through the withdrawal of funding for some government programs, in this case, financial support for rural hospitals.

We have less than 30 days (deadline is on 9/11/17) to gather the 100,000 signatures required for a response, so please get moving.

hours of signature.

Here is the language of the initiative: “Help save our hospitals!”

Due to sequestration, more than 40 percent of Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) are losing money.

That defeats the purpose of the CAH legislation, which makes it possible for rural communities to have ready access to needed quality health care, close to home. CAH closures have very negative consequences on those communities from both an economic and spiritual viewpoint.

Here are a few tips to help promote the petition and get to 99,999 signatures: If 10 people tell 10 other people, that tell 10 other people, and 10 other people, and 10 other people we achieve our goal of focused response by the Executive Branch.

After signing the petition yourself, use email, phone calls and Facebook to tell your friends, family and others who care about this issue.

Once we achieve 150 people, the issue is published on the White House.gov website, the petition will become publicly searchable on the We the People website.

When the petition reaches the required threshold – 100,000 in 30 days – it will be put in a queue to be reviewed by the White House. Others can still sign on voicing their support while it is awaiting a response.

When the White House responds, everyone who has signed the petition will get email from the White House to let us know that they have reviewed and responded to the petition.

Again, please take action, and share via e-mail and/ or Facebook to others that share their concern for this issue.

We can have an impact on addressing the real effect of sequestration and under-funding of our critical care rural hospitals.

Brief June tornado damaged Siren facility

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—“God bless insurance, which will pay our claim,” Siren President Dave Alden said Wednesday at the Siren Village Board monthly meeting, referring to damage that occurred during a brief tornado touchdown on Wednesday, June 28.

The board voted 5-0 to make a 20 percent down payment from the sewer fund to begin the process of replacing some of the foam covers on the two lagoons at the village’s wastewater treatment plant. The insurance company will reimburse the village.

Voting in favor were trustees Jan Hunter, Marvin Halverson, Rick Engstrom, Rudy Mothes and President Dave Alden. Board members Todd Schultz and David Doty had excused absences.

Many sections of the plastic and foam “blankets” that cover the upper and lower lagoons were ripped from their anchoring cables when the tornado touched down briefly about 5 p.m. that Wednesday at the water treatment plant about two miles southwest of Siren.

The damage went undetected for a couple days until Jim Jaskolka and the public works crew discovered the damage while moving brush. Many large black plastic pieces had blown into in the woods.

When in place, the covers are sturdy enough that the crew can walk on them to maintain the ponds and pull weeds. The black covers collect and retain heat, which help the lagoons work faster.

The down payment check for $28,100 will get the cover pieces purchased and delivered. The insurance company will reimburse the village after the work is completed by October. When the replacement covers arrive, the village team will unload them from the freight truck to save the village costs and time. They will be installed by Leman Environmental Technologies Inc., Vadnais Heights, Minn.

“That $140,000 dollar amount didn’t even enter my mind,” President Alden said. “I was thinking in the $50,000 range maybe, but I guess prices of anything shouldn’t shock me these days.”

The board also talked about starting an emergency fund to cover unexpected incidents like the covers, and discussed raising water/sewer fees to cover it as the next year’s budget process begins. It took no action on the matter.

Siren criminal caseload up Siren Police Chief Chris Sybers told the village board criminal cases in July totaled 67 in July, up from 46 the previous July. Sybers said the caseload has increased enough this year that with 58 more cases it will exceed the 2016 total, with five months to go. “That is indicative of how busy we have been,” Sybers said.

Sybers says Meth use and burglaries by users to support the habit are driving the arrest rate up.

Sybers also talked about the village’s high unemployment rate. Board members remarked that nearly

every business has a “help-wanted” sign. “It’s not that they can’t work, it’s that they don’t want to,” the chief said.

New carpet The board voted unanimously to replace the carpet in the village hall meeting room where the board meets. The carpet has damaged areas and looks quite worn, the board agreed. They voted to allocate $1,700 for new carpet and carpet laying from Komplete Flooring of Siren. The public works crew will save the village money by removing and disposing the old carpet.

Virgil Maslow recognized The village board planned to sign a thank you card for Virgil Maslow in appreciation of his 20 years of service to the community on its public works crew.

Tax refund resolution The board approved a resolution on behalf of North Memorial Ambulance that will allow North to pursue payment from people who use the ambulance service but don’t pay for it. The resolution allows North to use Wisconsin’s Tax Refund Intercept Program (TRIP) and submit claims to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to divert state tax refunds from those who owe money to the ambulance company.

There is no cost to the village to do so and no revenue received by the village, but the board agreed it would help North keep its ambulance expenses down.

The ambulance service has asked all participating municipalities to sign the agreement. Chris Sybers, who negotiated the ambulance contract for the Burnett County Towns Association, told the Siren board that North had unrecouped ambulance run expenses of $450,000 in the past year.

“If they were able to get back half of that, or even a quarter of what they are owed, that would help keep everyone’s ambulance service rate a lot lower.” He added the ambulance company will not go after anyone’s Social Security money.

The resolution passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

WOOD RIVER TOWNSHIP— On August 9, Robert J. Kratzke, 50, Wood River, made his initial appearance in Burnett County Circuit Court for a charge of arson of property other than a building, a class I felony.

Kratzke According to the criminal complaint, on July 21 at about 3:21 p.m. a Burnett County deputy was dispatched to a camper on N. Fossum Road in Wood River Township. Despite arriving on the scene within one minute, the camper was already engulfed in flames.

Lisa Kratzke is reported to have been standing in the driveway of the residence and told the officer, “Rob did it, he set the camper on fire.”

The defendant allegedly entered the camper, accused L. Kratzke of cheating on him and then told her he set the camper on fire.

L. Kratzke told the officer the only people present in the camper at the time were herself and R. Kratzke.

The complaint reads, “According to Lisa, there were two red plastic gas cans, a one gallon and a five gallon, that should be on the property. In a subsequent search of a vehicle being driven by [the] defendant, law enforcement found a red, five-gallon gas can with a small amount gas still in it. Behind it was a completely dry, one gallon can.”

The officer discovered a receipt for gas purchased from the Burnett Dairy Co-op in Alpha on July 21 in the front section of the car.

If convicted, Kratzke may face a fine up to $10,000 or up to three years and six months in prison, or both. His next scheduled appearance is October 24.

Webster woman - 9th OWI

BY SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER— Connie Prose, 61, was pulled over on both August 2 and 5 for operating while intoxicated.

These come just off the cuff of a July 4 incident in which Prose was pulled over in Webster for the same offense.

Prose Prose was confined but released from Burnett County Jail on July 5 under a bail bond. She is now back in custody with a cash bond of $1,500.00.

On top of the OWI offenses from the August incidents, Prose faces two misdemeanor counts of failure to install ignition interlock, two counts of operating while revoked, and two counts of felony bail jumping.

The August 5 incident occured after 2:30 p.m. as a Burnett County official noticed Prose’s vehicle traveling north on Highway 35 just beyond the intersection of County Road D and Highway 35.

According to the crimnal complaint, Prose took a wide turn onto North Bass Lake Road and began driving in the opposite lane. Once pulled over, Prose exited the vehicle and began “staggering” towards the officer. She blew a .32 before being escorted to the Burnett County Jail.

Solar Eclipse: August 21, 2017

BY JOANIE MCKEOWN BURNETT COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

On Monday, August 21, a solar eclipse will be seen across the United States.

Burnett County won’t experience a total solar eclipse, but we will see 80% of the sun blocked by the moon. The eclipse begins at 11:44 a.m., hits the peak of 80% at 1:07 p.m., and ends at 2:29 p.m. Make sure you take the necessary precautions and do not look directly at the sun if you want to view the eclipse.

Throughout time, people have been amazed – and often frightened – by solar eclipses. The Babylonians believed that an eclipse was a sign that their king would die. So, on the day of the eclipse, they would replace their real king with someone else. The false king would be dressed like the king, live in the king’s palace, and eat like the king. They believed this would fool the forces of nature and any bad luck would fall on the false king, not the real king.

An ancient belief from Africa is that the sun and the moon are fighting during an eclipse. To encourage them to stop fighting, people would go to anyone they were angry or upset with and resolve their differences.

The Navajo tradition during a solar eclipse is to go indoors to avoid the unnatural darkness outside and not eat, drink, or sleep until the eclipse ends.

The Ojibwe thought that the sun’s flames were begin extinguished during the eclipse. They would shoot burning arrows towards the sun in an effort to replenish the sun’s light.

Many ancient cultures believed that the sun was disappearing during an eclipse because it was being eaten. The ancient Egyptians thought a snake was attacking the sun. The Vikings believed it was being eaten by a sky wolf. For the

Vietnamese, it was a toad that was feasting on the sun. In China and Peru, they believed a dragon that wandered the skies was eating the sun. The Kwakiutl tribe in Canada thought the mouth of heaven, itself, was devouring the sun.

To scare away whatever was eating the sun, in most cultures, people would bang pots and drums and make other loud noises. This ritual continues today in China. The Chinese emperor would eat only vegetarian food during the eclipse. In India, to help the sun in its struggle against the demon devouring it, they would immerse themselves in a body of water.

A solar eclipse occurred during the winter of 1803 while the fur traders were in the Northwest and XY Company fur trading posts near present day Danbury. Like many people today, they used this as an excuse to take the day off and watch the sky.

Ideas for Celebrating the Eclipse If you would like to celebrate this phenomena of nature, consider the following that are modeled after the acts of other cultures: 1. Play music or make a lot of noise as the peak of the eclipse approaches.

2. Go swimming.

3. Apologize to those you have hurt; forgive those who have hurt you.

4. Eat a solar eclipse lunch of “sundogs” (hot dogs with grated cheese) or “eclipse” cookies (dark chocolate cookies).

5. See who can throw a Frisbee the farthest to help re-energize the sun.

6. See how many words you can make from the letters in “solar eclipse”.

Whatever you choose to do, enjoy this special celestial event!

HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s hospitals warn against viewing solar eclipse without proper eye protection EAU CLAIRE – Watching the upcoming solar eclipse will be on the docket for many on August 21, but Dr. Erik Dickson, a board-certified family medicine physician and chief physician executive for HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s hospitals, says caution must be taken.

“You shouldn’t look at a solar eclipse without having complete eye protection,” says Dickson. According to Dickson, looking directly at the solar eclipse can damage a viewer’s retinas in as little as 100 seconds. “Doing so is

very painful and, in extreme cases, can cause blindness.”

Not surprisingly, regular sunglasses won’t cut it. And Dickson warns that some manufactures are marketing their glasses as safe for viewing the solar eclipse, but actually aren’t safe.

To be safe, the American Astronomical Society has posted an online list of reputable vendors and retailers, and Dickson recommends that people look at this list before buying a pair of potentially bogus eclipse shades.

Pilots, board make new runway plan

BY STEVE BRIGGS, SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Plans for improving the runway surface at Grantsburg Municipal Airport took a new direction at the Grantsburg Village Board meeting Monday in a way that made everyone happy.

The pilot group and board will work together toward accepting $150,000 in airport entitlement funds and use the money to seal the runway’s wide cracks and then add a micro-surface layer on top.

The cost is estimated at $12,500 to hire the Burnett County Highway Department to seal the runway cracks and then hire another road firm to add an estimated $75,000 micro-surface layer on top.

While that surface will have a five- to seven-year life instead of the 20-year life of a rebuilt runway, the price tag is palatable and will immediately help the pilots group in their goal of attracting more private aviators to house their planes at Grantsburg.

The plan agreed to Monday night is far cheaper than one the board approved last month. After a public hearing and vote on July 31, the village board was set to move forward on a $1.2 million airport runway grinding/repaving project. The pilots had agreed to pick up the $37,500 cost for the local five percent match and avoid causing any increase in local taxes.

With the $1.2 million plan agreed upon last month, both the board and pilots were taken aback this week when the Wisconsin Bureau Of Aeronautics (BOA) responded to the village board with a high-dollar comprehensive airport improvement plan.

The BOA plan reads like an airport wish list, including funding an update of the Airport Layout Plan; funding a design plan for reconstructing airport pavements; replacing or rehabilitating airport lighting; installing “Precision Approach Path Indicator� lights to assist pilots while landing; adding a plane fueling sys-

tem and buying land adjoining the runway approaches to cut down some tall trees in order to clear and maintain the runway approaches.

The bottom line for the BOA plan? It came in at $3,358,000. After catching their collective breath and reading further, the board and pilots came to understand that the BOA wasn’t calling this a “to-do� list set in stone. Rather, it was an “improvements desired� list to offer a vision of where the Grantsburg airport could go in the next decade.

Speaking on behalf of the pilots, former village board trustee Rod Kleiss said the $37,500 loan the pilots were willing to take on last month to meet the local match was the upper limit of their largess. Five percent of the BOA’s $3.58 million plan would be about $178,000, which is far more than the current group of a dozen or so pilots could or would be willing to pay on a 10- or 20-year loan.

Village Board President Larry Ebersold told the pilots the low-price plan has merit. “It immediately gives you a more serviceable runway. Then, in the longer term we can look at the other improvements you have suggested, including adding a campground, and more.

That will give us time to explore all those options, and also see if the new runway really does bring in more pilots.�

Another advantage of accepting the smaller amount would be to avoid the 20-year obligation that would come with accepting the $1.2 million project. “If we have annual entitlement funds that we can’t use, we can share them with the County Airport as we have done in previous years,� Trustee Greg Peer said.

In other action the board accepted Trustee Scott DeRocker’s resignation, effective immediately.

DeRocker owns a business in Pine City and is moving out of Grantsburg.

Final Grantsburg ‘Music in the Park’ is Saturday GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Music Festival Society invites everyone to the final “Music In The Park� event of the summer on Saturday, Aug. 19 at Memory Lake Park.

BURNETT COUNTY—In the United States, vaccines have greatly reduced infectious diseases that once routinely harmed or killed many infants, children and adults. However, the viruses and bacteria that cause vaccine-preventable disease still exist and can cause illness in people who are not protected by vaccines.

Every year, tens of thousands of Americans still suffer serious health problems, are hospitalized and even die from diseases that could be prevented by vaccines. Protect your health and the health of your family. Make sure you and your loved ones are up-to-date on recommended vaccines.

Here’s why you shouldn’t wait: • Many vaccine-preventable diseases are still common in the U.S. • Those that are not common here are still found in other parts of the world and can be a threat. • Some of these diseases are very contagious. • Any of these diseases could be serious – even for healthy people. • Some people may be at higher risk for getting some diseases or having more serious illness if they were to get sick, like young children, older adults, and those with certain health conditions.

Vaccines are our best protection against a number of serious, and sometimes deadly, diseases.

Every year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other medical experts update vaccine recommendations for children, teens, and adults based on the latest research and evidence-based science on vaccine safety, effectiveness, and patterns of vaccine-preventable diseases.

You have the power to protect yourself and the ones you love. Talk to your healthcare provider about which vaccines are right for you and your family. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

SIREN—It’s a good week to be on your very best behavior.

Burnett County and Sheriff Ron Wilhelm are hosting the quarterly meeting of the Badger State Sheriff’s Association. Wilhelm said Friday he is expecting 50-60 Wisconsin county sheriffs to attend the event which began Tuesday and ends Thursday morning, Aug. 15-17 at The Lodge at Crooked Lake Hotel in Siren.

The event is sponsored and funded by the sheriff’s association and organized by the group’s executive director Dean C. Meyer of Bruce. The events are mostly training and business sessions, and are closed to the public.

Badger State Sheriffs meet quarterly at various locations around the state.

“About a year and a half ago, when they asked for a volunteer to host, I thought it would be good to meet here. They are always asking me, ‘Where is Burnett County?’ So, this is their opportunity to find out where Burnett County is.”

Special presentation Wilhelm said the highlight of the Burnett County meeting is a special event at the Wednesday evening banquet to honor Rusk County Deputy Sheriff Dan Glaze, who was killed while on duty. “At our meeting some months back, we had a silent auction for the Glaze family,” Wilhelm said.

“One of the donated items was a Green Bay Packer jersey from one of the

team’s active players.

“The winning bidder decided to have autographs from all the sheriffs across Wisconsin put on the jersey. We all sent in our signature and they transferred our signatures to the jersey. It was then put into a very nice presentation case. Dan Glaze’s wife will attend our banquet Wednesday night, and we will present the jersey to her along with other items. Rusk County isn’t that far away, so they chose to do it over here.”

The three day event will include roundtable discussions, a facilities tour, reports on law enforcement-related legislation in progress, and workshops on staff and county relations and department leadership.

‘Tracker’ doing well In other Sheriff’s Department news, Wilhelm said their new canine officer “Tracker” has become a real asset to the department. “Tracker is doing great. We are very happy with him,” Wilhelm said. “In June, in his very first month on the job, he was involved in nine different cases. Deputy Mitch Olson is doing well with training him and they are a good team.

“Mitch and Tracker have attended Rotary meetings. They were at National Night Out and were in our county’s Fourth of July parades in Siren and Webster. They will be at Grantoberfest and the Central Burnett County Fair in Webster and Agricultural Society Fair in Grantsburg. It gives all the SEE SHERIFF HOSTS, PAGE 13

PURPLE LAKES: Bladderwort plant also eats bugs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

native plant, not an invasive species.”

He added some people confuse it with Eurasian Milfoil, because it grows in floating mats like milfoil.

Ferris says the purple plant is not endangered but it is “a species of special concern,” because its growth area in Wisconsin is limited to the northwest and north central counties. It is also found in some northern Minnesota lakes, New England and Florida.

“It likes the county’s shallower lakes, like Little Doctor along State Road 70 west of Siren and the northeast end of Crooked Lake,” Ferris added. Its relative, the Yellow bladderwort, is more common than the purple.

“Wort” is an ancient word that means “plant.” It is called a bladderwort because each plant has little sacks or bladders that open and close. When the bladder is open and a bug crawls in, the bladder closes, trapping the bug. Then the plant begins to digest the bug for its nutrients. Yes, it is a meat-eating plant, but not dangerous to anything but small bugs.

Some county lakes at flood stage Ferris said Devils Lake, Pike, Elbow and many other of the county’s “seepage lakes” that have no natural water ingress and egress are at or above their high water marks, which technically puts them at flood stage. The lake level is causing problems for some cabin and lake home owners, but since the seepage (often spring-fed) lakes have no water outlet, not much can be done.

There is a natural cycle in lakes and water levels, Ferris said. “Back in the dry 1930s, marsh hay was harvested on some of these dry lake beds. Now those same lakes are at their highest recorded water level.”

Zebra Mussels no worse Ferris told the committee the Zebra Mussels in Big McKenzie Lake have not been found in any other Burnett County lakes so far. “We have done veliger tows on several lakes in the county,” Ferris said. A veliger is the final larval stage of some mollusks, including Zebra Mussels. Veligers if present, are caught in a special net.

Their numbers indicate how seriously a lake is infested. Only one veliger was found in Big McKenzie in June, Ferris said, which was encouraging.

STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

Tiny purple blossoms on a native plant called Purple Bladderwort are making some Burnett County lakes very colorful this summer.

Plate samples are now distributed in 15 of the county’s highly susceptible lakes, he added. The mussels attach to any flat, metallic or fiberglass surface and the quantity of mussels on a plate also show the severity. Ferris said he was pleased so far that the problem hasn’t grown in Big McKenzie and that the mussels were not discovered at other county lakes.

Dead trees along lakeshore Asked if there is a restriction against cutting dead trees along the lake shore, Ferris said yes, there are restrictions. “Leave them alone,” he said. “They’re great habitat. You can remove woody vegetation from your lakeshore viewing area, but dead trees in other areas are supposed to be left alone, unless it is in a location that would imperil a dock or boat, or cause other safety concerns. “In that case, call my office and we will come out and take a look. If we agree it needs to be cut, we will mark it and then it can be removed.

“People have looked at a dead tree on the lakeshore as a bad tree, but a tree falling in the lake is not a bad thing,” Ferris said. “It provides habitat for many species.”

If you have a problem with a dead or unsafe tree, check with the county zoning department or Ferris’s Land and Water Conservation Department before you do anything to the tree. His office can be reached at 715-349-2186.

Diners enjoy gourmet dinner at The Forts

DANBURY—Guests enjoyed a delightful Wisconsin August evening Saturday while dining at Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park in Danbury. The crowd nibbled on stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs and crackers with artichoke/hummus dip prepared by new Forts Director Kim Wheeler and sipped sparkling wine on the riverside deck of the 100-year-old former Snowbank Lodge.

After the social hour, the party moved inside and savored lobster bisque and tomato tartare, also prepared by Wheeler. The entrée’ included roast pork drizzled with a port wine sauce, lemon garlic potatoes and vegetable sticks with a dollop of “secret sauce” cooked by BCHS Board President Jim McKeown and his culinary crew.

The dessert featured chocolate mousse accompanied by a skewer of fruit and local cheeses from Burnett Dairy.

Arts bring out kids’ strengths; help them heal HARRIET RICE

Outside, the world is lushly green, it’s pouring rain, and the tune “Here Comes the Sun” floats through the room. There’s a low murmur of voices: nine girls are engaged in shaping animal figures out of clay or drawing fish figures on cardboard. Occasionally, there’s laughter at a comment from the instructor’s baritone.

You can feel it’s a happy place.

That’s exactly one of the outcomes Ian Karl aims for by having Chris Lutter-Gardella as Northwest Passage’s August Artist-in-Residence at the remote Schaefer Cabin located in the Namekagon River watershed.

Ian is Northwest Passage’s Experiential Program Coordinator in charge of the program.

The Artist-in-Residence program is one of several NWP art programs that evolved from the organization’s 39 year history of promoting a therapeutic lifestyle for their clients. Over the last six years, art has emerged as a strong component of Northwest Passage’s mission. So much so that one mile south of Webster on State Road 35, NWP opened the In a New Light Gallery.

Puppets, masks relate to nature The gallery features the kids’ art – primarily nature photography – and is open to the public. The gallery is aptly named because program clients are able to see the world around them in a new light and see themselves in a new positive light: capable and creative. That’s a fulfillment of the NWP mission: to restore hope through innovative health services for at-risk children and families.

But, back to Chris and the girls at the Schaefer Cabin.

During his four-week session from July 17 to August 14, thirty-two boys and girls ages 6-17 in four separate groups, came to the cabin in shifts, working on art projects, described by Chris: “We’re creating masks, puppet art pieces and props that relate to the natural world here in the northwoods and also globally that will appear in a music video called Life is Better With You.” The content is consistent with each group. There are three projects: making masks with clay and paper mache, building insect puppets, and creating fish figures. In addition to the educational connection with nature, Chris demonstrates conservation and environmental responsibility by using primarily repurposed and recycled industrial materials.

He explains: “For the bumblebees, which was our kick-off/warm-up project with the boys the first week, we used plastic bottles that I got from a bottling company down by Stillwater. Wire clothes hangers we used for handles and legs; plastics from mattress bags we repurposed into bee wings.

“For the fish, we’re using recycled cardboard boxes; we’ll put scales on them made out of heavier plastic packaging from the furniture industry. The clay forms are mostly recycled clay from the ceramics industry – clay that can’t be fired that typically ends up being dumpstered. Newspapers and paper bags we use for the paper mache, with burlap for the fringes around the masks.”

Chris connects the projects to cosmology – the nature of the universe: “The bumblebees are our connection with the air. We call them the ‘Keepers of the Air.’ The animals we’re making like the bear, the cougar and other creatures we consider ‘Keepers of the Land,’ and the fish are the ‘Keepers of the Water.’ That encourages the kids to think in terms of elements and different realms the animals help take care of.”

Some of the girls worked in pairs to create masks of various animals, real and imagined: cougar, bear, elephant, and dragon. Candice and Lorena were working on the dragon. Candice commented on the art project: “I like it. I feel like it’s a way to express your feelings, and it’s a good way to cope with how you’re feeling, too, and how to interact with people. It makes me feel like I can do something that I wasn’t able to do before.”

She said she and Lorena like the reemergence of the dragon in popular culture and they wanted to bring one to life. Candice added, “It also represents fire, and I feel like no one else has fire as an animal, so, we’re like, ‘let’s do a dragon.’”

Attitudes turn around Chris has worked with youth in the past. He observed, “The girls are just loving it. They’re really getting into sculpting the clay forms for the masks. They seem really invested and dedicated, excited about their pieces.

When the art projects are completed,” Chris explains, “We’ll take the kids outside and do some fun playing with the masks and props in the woods and along the [Namekagon] river and get some video of that.”

The residual and significantly more important outcomes are reflected in the kids’ turn-arounds of attitudes and feelings. Ian noted, “Every one of the kids involved seemed happy doing what they were doing.

They were smiling, fully engaged. This sort of activity allows them to separate from their problems, they can block out other noise in the world and focus on the task at hand.

“When we’re engaged in things we enjoy, get fulfillment from and see the results of our work, we’re happier, content and feel a sense of achievement. This fits into the idea of taking a strength-based approach to problem solving. When you help kids find their strengths and give them opportunities to thrive, the mental health challenges they’re facing have the potential to take a back seat. Being engaged in tactile art in a unique location where you can physically feel you’re leaving your troubles behind is really powerful and beneficial.”

He continued, “If we consistently focus on the kids’ problems, the mental health challenges and the diagnoses, then all the energy goes into focusing on that. But, if we can help them find their strengths and what they have to offer others, they are happier, more content and work better together as a group. And, that’s exactly what we see going on at the cabin. When you go to a unique place like [Schaefer Cabin] and are guided by a professional artist with the constant, calm consistency and experience that Chris provides – that is priceless.”

people who helped raise funds for the dog and all the public a chance to see him,” Wilhelm said.

Tracker’s very first case involved an exterior drug search of a vehicle. “He gave his officer a signal that drugs were present, and several people in the vehicle went to jail that night,” Wilhelm said.

Tracker also helped apprehend one of four young men trying to steal a motorcycle after midnight on South Oak Street in Grantsburg. “Tracker helped apprehend one of them by Memory Lake Park.

Mitch gave the order, ‘I will send the dog in,’ and the suspect said, ‘Don’t send the dog in.’ He came out with his hands up.”

Tracker does building searches when an officer finds an open door after business hours. “Mitch is keeping Tracker busy,” Wilhelm said. “They are doing training with the dogs from the Tribe so they get used to working together and some other dogs from the northwest part of the state and trained together so they have the same page in that training.

Good things come from all working together and it builds camaraderie among the departments.”

Happy with new judge Sheriff Wilhelm said, “I am getting very good reports about the new Burnett County Judge Mel Mogen. Things are going well in the courtroom and she is running a tight ship up there.”

Wilhelm is pleased that Judge Mogen sets a specific time of day for bail hearings. “We know the bail hearings now start at 1 p.m. That works well for our staff and for the offenders and their families, too, so that’s a great thing she is doing. I haven’t been in her courtroom yet, but reports from my staff are very positive.”

Calvary Covenant regains championship status

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

FALUN—After a two year hiatus, Calvary Covenant got back in the Church League championship with a come-from-behind 19-18 win on Saturday night. It wasn’t the usual opponent Calvary plays in this game, but the up-and-coming New Hope/Living Hope team from the village.

Calvary went through the double elimination tourney with nary a loss and faced New Hope/ Living Hope in the seven o’clock game. Should Calvary have won, the season would have ended right there.

But, New Hope/Living Hope had different ideas and came out with a 9-2 win, forcing the deciding game immediately following.

Games on Thursday, leading up to the Saturday contests had Falun/Grace Baptist defeating Trade Lake Baptist/Trade River Free 18-11, Calvary Covenant besting Crosswalk Free 18-12 and Faith Lutheran getting a forfeit win over Webster Baptist/Nazarene.

On Friday, New Hope/Living Hope topped Siren Assembly 17-3, Trade Lake Baptist/Trade River Free in a slug fest over Faith Lutheran 30-29 and New Hope/Living Hope edging out Crosswalk Free 9-8.

In the first game on Saturday, Calvary got five runs in the first and three more in the fourth and held on to defeat Falun/

It was 3-2 NH/LH after one with a scoreless second inning to follow. NH/LH got six in their half of the third inning which included a home run and six singles.

Trade Lake/Trade River came back with four of their own on three singles and a homer to make it 9-6.

A single run in the fifth and two in the sixth increased NH/

LH’s lead to 12-6. Two additional runs in the seventh had it at 14-6, and a home run by Trade Lake/ Trade River made the final 14-7.

With the win, New Hope/Living Hope continued their quest for the championship, this time facing Falun/Grace Baptist.

F/G got two in the first inning, and NH/LH got five on five singles, a triple and an error. Falun/Grace got one in the second and both teams went scoreless in the third. NH/LH got four in the fourth which propelled them to an 11-5 win, placing them against the undefeated team from Calvary Covenant.

NH/LH scored three in their half of the first and five more in the second to lead 8-0 after two innings of play. Single runs in the fifth and sixth made it 10-0.

The Covenanters broke the scoreless trend by getting two consecutive home runs in the bottom of the seventh, but it wasn’t enough. 10-2 was the final which forced the last and decisive game.

NH/LH scored twice in the first inning, but Calvary bounced back with three runs on an error, a single and a home run.

Inning two was scoreless for

New Hope/Living Hope, but it wasn’t for Calvary. Nine runs were scored. Three singles, two home runs, a double and a couple walks fueled the way.

WASHBURN—The Washburn/Bayfield/South Shore co-op football team has canceled their 2017 football season due to lack of participation.

The cancellation leaves Webster and Grantsburg and others in the North Lakeland Conference without a game on their schedule unless a replacement game can be arranged with another school which has an open date and does not already play either Webster or Grantsburg.

The Pirates were originally scheduled to travel to Washburn on September 8. The Tigers would have hosted W/B/SS on October 13.

Athletic directors at all the schools which would have played the northern co-op team are probably using the telephone and email wires, trying to locate a team willing to go up against their charges.

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

I am featuring the beautiful Ariel again, as she is still waiting for someone to love and to love her. Ariel is approximately eight years of age and arrived at the shelter as a stray, but sadly was never reclaimed.

S is a wonderful, loving dog She w likes to be close to you and who e even at your knee if she can.

Ariel is a Weimaraner cross.

I don’t think she has had an e easy time of it but she holds no g grudges.

She can be timid with s some noises, especially loud or s sharp, but with reassurance s does well. We recommend she Ariel a home with no small dogs. A home with cats would be questionable for her, but with some training and patience, Ariel would be a perfect companion. I wish I could take her as I just love her, but I already have two dogs and some kitties – all adopted!

Great news to share with you! We just approved a plan to build a new cat building for our kitties. We are very excited to be getting this underway. Plans have been drawn up and contractors have placed their bids. On Tuesday the final decision was made.

It’s been so difficult housing the cats as the original shelter took only dogs, so there wasn’t a proper, dedicated area for cats.

The building work should be starting in mid-September. When completed we will be having a ribbon-cutting and open house, so stay tuned! This project was made possible thanks to a wonderful, anonymous donor to whom we are so grateful. More contributions are welcome. If you wish to contribute to the project that would be awesome!

A huge thank you to our member and supporter Brian Hegge who will be moving the old building out for us prior to construction. Brian does quite a bit of volunteer work for the shelter including winter snow plowing. We always appreciate his help.

We’re looking at options for an annual fall fundraiser and have come up with an idea or two. If you would be interested in helping the shelter, and most importantly the animals, and have any ideas, we would love to hear them.

A quote: “Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal – difficult standards for people to live up to.”

Have a great week and remember to “Adopt, Don’t Shop!”

If you are interested in adopting Ariel or another animal from The Humane Society of Burnett County shelter, please call (715) 866-4096 or visit the website at www.hsburnettcty.org.

Bait plays heavy role in bear diets in northern Wisconsin MADISON (AP) — Researchers say bear bait could be playing a role in the high density of bears in northern Wisconsin.

New research from the state Department of Natural Resources and the University of Wisconsin-Madison shows bear bait makes up more than 40 percent of a black bear’s diet in the region, Wisconsin Public Radio reported.

Researchers sampled bear bait and native foods in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, and then compared the samples to black bear tissues from 2011 to 2013. The study focused on areas with forest and wetlands in order to minimize the impact of crop cover.

“It was a study designed to better understand the ecology of bears in the state and the role that the various foods on the landscape play in the population,” said Dave MacFarland, a large carnivore specialist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Wisconsin Master Naturalist volunteer training at Hunt Hill SARONA—A volunteer training course to become a Wisconsin Master Naturalist will be held at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, beginning August 27 and ending September 1.

Are you fascinated with nature?

Do you enjoy sharing your knowledge and skills with others? The Wisconsin Master Naturalist (WIMN) program, a statewide effort to promote awareness, understanding and stewardship of the state’s natural resources, is a network of informed citizens dedicated to conservation education and service within Wisconsin communities. You can become a Wisconsin Master Naturalist Volunteer!

There is a fee for the course. It involves 40 hours of training in natural history, interpretation and conservation stewardship. Once trained, a Wisconsin Master Naturalist provides volunteer service in one of three areas: education/ interpretation, stewardship or citizen science.

To maintain certification, volunteers must complete 40 hours of service each year, in addition to eight hours of additional training.

“That gives us information on the impact of regulations. It’s sort of a first step to better understanding the role of bait in bear diet.”

High-calorie foods such as candy or cookies are often used as bait. The state doesn’t allow bait to contain any animal parts or animal by-products.

The state allows baiting from April through early October, a period that’s about three times longer than baiting periods in Michigan and Minnesota.

While female black bears have experienced increased fertility when they eat bait, researchers said more study is needed to determine how bait affects the bear population.

“It’d also be interesting to see what, in states with different policies and different regulations, what role bait is playing in the diet of those bears,” MacFarland said. “There’s some more work potentially to be done, but I think it’s an important first step in us better understanding this.”

The area is home to more than 20,000 bears.

Q.

Q. I have had some water damage in my home. Do I have to worry about mold?

A. The best way to prevent mold is to prevent

Gary Nelson the conditions that cause it. A burst pipe can flood a basement or upstairs and the pipe can be fixed and the water mopped up. What you don’t know is how far the water seeped – under cupboards, behind walls, under flooring, etc. Unless those areas are checked and completely dried out the possibility of mold exists. While everyone thinks black mold is a major issue, any mold is a major issue. An enclosed house in a humid environment with some stale warm air is perfect for growing mold not only in places you can’t see but also on tables, furniture, and fixtures. If you’ve had water damage from a burst pipe or from a leaky roof you may need to have an inspection conducted. Contact your insurance agent and arrangements will be made to have your home checked by a company that specializes in mold mitigation.

What is UM (Uninsured Motorist) and UIM (Underinsured Motorist) coverage?

A.

in a hot market?

A.

Acting out of desperation: Don’t lose Jean Lundgren site of what your looking for & can afford.

Hesitating: Be prepared & in position to buy. Don’t miss a property you love. Have paperwork in order & an up-to-date preapproval.

Ignoring the market: Work with an experienced agent to define current trends, home features & a price point that fits your budget.

Misunderstanding your budget: Don’t ballpark your income, expenses & loan costs. Be clear, you may need to make a quick decision.

Overpaying: Multiple offers are common. Work with your agent to know prices on current, pending & sold similar properties.

Tim Sempf, Erik Bergmanis, Jason Whitley Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM) is automobile insurance that covers the insured person and the occupants of his/her vehicle for injuries which are caused by the negligence of an uninsured driver. UM insurance is portable which means that you are covered anytime you are injured by an uninsured driver, even if you are a pedestrian. It also covers you for hit-and-run accidents. In hit-and-run situations you must immediately report the incident and the make a sworn statement. UM insurance is mandatory in Wisconsin and therefore, if you have liability insurance on your vehicle, you will automatically have UM coverage in a similar amount.

Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UIM), while not mandatory, is a very important. UIM coverage is designed to provide you with additional insurance in the event your injuries are greater than the at-fault driver’s insurance limit. UIM insurance is tricky to understand because the amount of coverage you have available is based on two variables: your own coverage amounts and the other drivers coverage amounts. To determine how much UIM insurance you have, you must first have a UIM policy that is larger in limits than the liability policy of the driver that caused the accident. Second, you deduct the amount of that liability policy from your own UIM policy and the remainder is the amount of UIM coverage. Oddly, you can never know how much UIM insurance you have until after you are involved in an accident. Our advice is to carry a large UIM policy in order to ensure that you have extra coverage regardless of the at-fault driver’s liability limits. Like UM insurance, UIM coverage is portable and will follow you even if you are driving a vehicle owned by another person.

Many, not all, companies are now Staffing cutting out employee extras that affect their Consultant bottom line. One such thing is employee appreciation. Creating a great culture where an employee feels welcome, needed and appreciated can have a positive impact on productivity. Offering employees things such as lunch, employee of the month and recognition for jobs well done can mean a great deal to that employee and push other employees to want to work harder.

Q.

A. A doula can help the body release the

Sarah Bach

natural hormone oxytocin from the pituitary gland, using the power of touch and massage. Oxytocin enters the brain (allowing a higher pain threshold, drowsiness, and an overall sense of wellbeing) and bloodstream (causing uterine contractions).

The wisdom and peace a doula brings to labor and birth decreases anxiety and stress; two unnecessary causes of medical interventions.

Studies have shown that the presence of a doula can decrease the length of labor by 25%, the use of oxytocin by 40%, requests for an epidural by 60%, and an overall decrease of cesarean section by 50%.

Studies have also shown that women have an increase in spontaneous vaginal birth and positive birth experience, and newborns have an increased APGAR score and 14% decrease in the risk of being admitted to a NICU.

Ringing the bell

Reverend Kook Ho Kim Upper St. Croix Parish

Two weeks ago on Thursday, seven church members and I participated in the Ringing of the Bell, which is the community mission project of the Salvation Army at Burnett Dairy Co-op. It was my first experience to join the event because I first came to this area last summer.

My shift was at 4 p.m., but the weather was so hot to stand and ring the bell that day.

Physically, it was a hard work, but it was so meaningful for me because I got some impressive experiences through it.

The first impressive thing was that people were so generous to help our community.

This event was managed mainly to support the community Backpack program. Some of the people read the detailed sign which explains how to support our community through this program.

After reading it, they asked me about the program and were willing to donate their money to support our community with joyful hearts. It was a great time to know how many of our people like our community.

Gandy Dancer Days SEAN DEVLIN | SENTINEL

Last weekend’s annual Gandy Dancer Days celebration in Webster was filled with fun activities. A 5k race, a BMX show, a hot wing eating contest (only two people braved the endevour), and much more.

And, of course, time was carved out to pay tribute to our veterans at the American Legion in Webster.

THANK YOU, WISCONSIN, FOR 169 YEARS OF SUPPORT Wisconsin’s 72 counties have sent UW–Madison their very best scientists, scholars, builders, inventors, writers, reformers, athletes, and heroes. These gifted individuals have made the UW a world-class university.

We thank you, Wisconsin.
