Another ATV option in Anderson JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

“Those guys have put a ton of work in the weight room this off season and it's showing,” Hale said. “The game also means a heck of a lot to each of one them and they play with a lot of pride.”

Webster coach Andy Smith spoke with the Sentinel

The Burnett County Board of Supervisors voted to open sections, previously closed, to ATV/ UTV traffic. These sections are gravel road and board members discussed deterioration of the road with added ATV traffic.

“They’re probably already using it,” County Chair Don Taylor said.

Supervisor Ramona Moody brought this to the County Board earlier in the summer after she received a number of requests to have parts of County Road O to ATV traffic in Anderson.

The Town of Anderson approved the request at their September meeting for the section of the road on County Road O from Jimmy Carter Road to the St. Croix River.

Supervisor Chris Sybers pointed out increased usage of the dirt road will lead to increased damage and Supervisor Gerry Pardun explained that in the Town of Swiss when they opened the roads to ATV traffic the maintenance issues went up.

Grantsburg and Webster returned to the Friday night lights. The Pirates and Tigers met Friday night in Webster for the season opener.

Big win for Grantsburg on opening weekend JONATHAN RICHIE SPORTS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

After some uncertainty and a slight delay Friday night football is back in Burnett County. The opening game of the weekend was a major conference match-up between Grantsburg and Webster.

The Pirates beat the Tigers game in swift fashion, 42-0.

Grantsburg head coach Adam Hale told the Sentinel it was great to see the players to be back on the field.

His team had a number of standout performances.

Grantsburg quarterback Sterling McKinley threw for 250 yards and three touch-

down passes while Issac Quimby and Aldan Burkman combined for 99 rushing yards.

Burkman had a reception for 86 yards ending in a touchdown. He also led the team with six total tackles.

Carter Johnson was also helpful on defense with five total tackles.

RIVER FALLS NATIVE Getzie grew up in River Falls, daughter to entrepreneurial parents who owned a number of businesses. She was a part of the family business, accompanying her parents to arts and crafts events, antique shows, garage sales and flea markets. "Soon they became pickers, and I got into that with them," she said. For years, she dreamed of one day opening her own store.

After graduating from the local high school, Getzie went through a series of academic changes, starting with the Minneapolis Business College for graphic design, then studying nursing, and finally switching to business, obtaining an associate degree in business management from Chippewa Valley Technical College. Currently, she works as an administrative assistant in the Special Education Department for the New Richmond school district.

"Recently I needed a change in my life, so I sold my home in New Richmond and wanted to realize my life's dream," she said. "I just started driving up State Road 35 north." She continued, "It's beautiful up here with lakes and a lot of land. I have three sons who love to hunt and fish with me. We can enjoy not only having the store, but also the north woods."

Wisconsin native Stacie Getzie moved to the north woods to realize a lifelong dream of opening her own antique store.

The property she found was first listed as residential, but later Getzie found out that the house and the adjacent land were zoned commercial after all. "I went into the log home, fell in love with it and knew it would be a great [business] place."

VINTAGE COMIC BOOKS AND MORE "We have new and old items, refurbished items, 1800s furniture, custom

flannels, beautiful hand-made jewelry, collectible tools, custom-made products, vintage dishes and glass, man-cave decor, framed art, collectibles, and, of course, antiques." She continued listing, "One vendor offers more than 4,500 comic books dating from the 1950s; there's a collection of vinyl and shellac 33 1/3 and 78 rpm records from the early 1900s as well as a year-round Christmas room."

Getzie said right now her rental space is full, but she accepts consignment "drop in" items. Come spring, another 1,100 square feet will open for vendors.

"I enjoy the unique items that have already come into the store and look forward to people bringing in their treasures and picked items to sell."

Log Home hours are Friday and Saturday, 9-5; Sunday, 10-2. The store will stay open for business through December. For additional information, visit loghomeantiques.com, email gstacie@ yahoo.com or call 715.716.6910.

When the Board voted to open all county roads to ATV/UTV traffic this section and a section of County Road A were omitted from the list.

County Road A from State Highway 35 to Thompson Road is still closed to ATV/UTV traffic due to the high amount of vehicle traffic on that stretch of road.

Towards the end of the discussion a number of supervisors pointed out that if there are problems with County Road O the board has the ability to close the

Grantsburg is not just teaching students writing, reading and arithmetic. They are also teaching every day skills and preparing students for their careers after high school.

“We wanted to give the students a taste of what real life is like,” one staff member told the Sentinel.

Freshman at Grantsburg High School went through a new unit in their Life Skills class this year.

Students were asked to imagine they had a high school diploma and then had to figure out a job, apartment, and buying a car.

The unit was put together, in part, because of the misconception that schools are pushing all students to four-year colleges and don’t teach everyday skills in the classroom.

Grantsburg does not push all students toward four-year degrees.

Instead, Grantsburg staff helps students find the best path for them.

Mike Anderson teaches the course and the school’s hope is to continue this unit next year and make it a permanent staple of the Life Skills class.

The first part of the exercise is finding a job that requires a high school diploma. Then they

of the students.

Some students were also surprised to find out that when hired at $13 an hour for a job they do not get to take home $13 an hour.

Another student was so intrigued by the course they went home and asked their parents about mortgage rates.

Grantsburg staff hopes the unit will expand in the future to better prepare life outside the classroom.

Attack of the muffin

A

s a kid, did you ever have trouble eating?

Not trouble getting enough to eat or finishing your meal, but actual difficulty getting the food in your mouth?

I often had issues with ketchup and McDonald’s French fries, ketchup would get on my shirt, my pants and once in my hair, but it was not my fault.

I find myself telling these stories to my 6-yearold niece. She finds them very funny. Of course, they’re funny to her - she gets to hear how her father and I used to raise hell while driving our parents insane, and I get to relive the fun parts then try to forget the consequences.

The consequences ended with the belt or soap in our mouths.

I have spoken to my mother and father about this, and I’ve told them I don’t hold any ill will toward them because we were uncontrollable and always deserved the punishment.

Sentinel My niece has also been getting on my case because she only has Editor one cousin. So, to keep her happy, I Jonathan Richie tell her stories about the past.

When I was visiting my brother’s house a few weeks ago, I told my niece the story of my little brother trying to eat a chocolate muffin in the minivan. By the time our mom pulled over, Josh had the muffin contents everywhere.

My older brother, Matthew and I were trying very hard not to laugh because the yelling was directed toward Josh and not us. I knew that wouldn’t last forever and the screaming would eventually turn to us.

The mess was a slap in the face to our mom because the only reason Josh had a muffin is that we must have been on good enough behavior throughout the day that we got to stop at the gas station.

I would get a cookie and a Mt. Dew. In comparison, Josh would get a chocolate milk and chocolate muffin and Matthew was in Middle School, so I don’t know what he was having, probably a slushie.

Matthew was in the front seat, while Josh and I were in the back of the minivan, a classy and beautiful 2001 Chevy Venture passed down to me in High School.

While in the back seat, I was careful with every bite of my cookie. I knew that crumbs lead to mice because Mom said so. Josh was not aware of this, but he soon learned.

Somewhere on the ride home Mom turned around, saw Josh and the muffin and pulled over.

She got out of the car, flung the side door open and saw muffin crumbs on the floor, seat, back of the seat and even on the ceiling.

My mother yelled at Josh for about five minutes then we went home.

But a couple of weeks later Josh was able to joke about it. He said he starred in “The Muffin Disaster.” Then I said, “No, Josh, you starred, filmed, wrote and directed that movie.”

And the minivan erupted in laughter.

Like many things from the past, we can find a way to laugh at even the most awkward moments, like The Muffin Disaster.

It’s funny now and I wonder how long it will be before my niece directs her first “sequel.”

ust a little over a month to go.

The general election is Tuesday, November 3. If you can squint, you can make out the finish line.

But I have to tell you things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.

It seems like there are precious few places to hide from partisan politics. If you turn on the news, get ready for the latest and greatest attack ad. Want to spend some time online?

The ads will find you there as well.

And I think the less said about social media, the better.

Among the reasons the campaigns have become so nasty so early is the extended voting time. With the pandemic, a record number of people are From the Publisher’s requesting absentee ballots and have them in their homes right now.

Desk If you don’t have an absentee ballot, there’s still time to request one. WisTom Stangl consin voters have until October 29 to b request an absentee ballot, the deadline is November 2 in Minnesota. If you are even considering this option, act now.

While absentee ballots will give peace of mind voting for those concerned about waiting in line in November it seems there is lots and lots of confusion about how they will be counted, as well as the veracity of the count.

This is truly unfortunate because we need to have confidence in our institutions and finding ways to get more, not less people involved in the election process.

So, what’s a concerned citizen to do?

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

CAPITOL REPORT BY WISPOLITICS.COM

Several state agencies seek new funds for 2021-23 budget State agencies want to update the unemployment insurance computer system, create a new position to train law enforcement on the use of force, and double how much utilities pay into an energy efficiency program, according to recent budget requests.

All told, agencies have already requested a net increase of $755 million in general purpose revenue for the 2021-23 budget even before adding key pieces such as state aid for K-12 education, the court system and the Legislature, according to a WisPolitics.com review of the requests.

The agency requests are part of the building blocks Gov. Tony Evers and his staff will use in building the two-year budget he’ll propose to the Legislature early next year. In June, the governor sent a letter to agency heads asking most of them not to seek “any additional GPR-funded expenditures in either year of the upcoming biennium,” citing the economic uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In many cases, the agencies said the GPR increases they want only covered costs to continue and weren’t for new expenses. That includes the $122.8 million in Corrections’ ask.

But several agencies are seeking new funds despite Evers’ letter: • District attorneys are seeking an increase of $28.4 million, nearly 28 percent above their base, to help fund an additional 57 positions, boost salary, cover merit-based pay progression, and take care of fringe benefits.

• The Department of Military Affairs wants an additional $33.8 million, including money to design and implement a new statewide interoperable radio network.

• The Public Defender Board is asking for $14.8 million, including money for 40 new positions.

Joint Finance Co-chair Albert Darling, R-River Hills, said Evers “needs to get serious with his agencies.”

“Asking for increases after many Wisconsinites lost their jobs or wages due to the pandemic shows they are out of touch,” Darling added. “Every family in the state had to make tough choices.

They can afford a tax hike and shouldn’t be asked for one.”

Some of the agencies seeking the biggest increases on a percentage basis aren’t under Evers’ direct control. DOJ’s request amounts to a 25.2 percent boost in GPR over base, while district attorneys want a 27.8 percent hike.

Of those agencies directly under Evers, Tourism is seeking a 26.8 percent increase to plow into tourism development and promotion, while Military Affairs is seeking the largest increase of any agency at 54 percent.

The net request for additional GPR was held down by two significant moves.

The Department of Administration listed a proposed $253.3 million in savings by adjusting bond authority required for pension obligation bonds debt service. It is essentially an accounting move that more accurately reflects costs.

Meanwhile, the Office of Commissioner for Insurance is projecting a savings of $28.5 million with the feds picking up more of the costs for the Wisconsin Healthcare Stability Plan. The program, created under then-Gov. Scott Walker, helps keep down cost increases in the individual health insurance market

under the Affordable Care Act. Itis jointly funded by the state and federal governments.

The requests lay out agency demands as the governor begins to build the 202123 budget. Still, the financial foundation for the 2021-23 budget won’t be known until mid-November, when DOA releases a summary of the budget requests and its projections for state revenues through mid-2023.

Some of the agency proposals: • The Department of Health Services is again proposing to accept federal money to expand the Medicaid program. In its proposal, the agency warns the cost to continue the current Medicaid program would require an additional $1.1 billion in GPR over the next biennium largely due to an expected increase in enrollment. But accepting the federal money to expand the program would save $558.3 million, and the proposal reflects that cost estimate. Secretary Angela Palm wrote in her cover letter the savings would be higher than past estimates because it’s expected more people would enroll.

She also warned the state could need additional support from the Legislature to address COVID-19 without more help from the federal government. That includes a testing budget of more than $1 billion with an additional $225million for ongoing contact tracing.

• The Public Service Commission is proposing a change that would require utilities to pay an additional $100 million annually to Focus on Energy. The program funds energy efficiency and renewable energy projects through a requirement that investor-owned utilities put 1.2 percent of operating revenues toward the effort. The proposal would double that to 2.4 percent of operating revenues. The PSC says a study found such an increase would increase energy savings by approximately 50 percent.

• The Department of Workforce Development wants to boost vocational rehabilitation services by $929,300 in GPR, a move then-Secretary Caleb Frostman wrote in his letter was exempt from Evers’ budget directive.

The agency, which has been plagued by problems processing unemployment claims during the pandemic, also wants money to modernize the computer system and to repeal drug testing that is part of the program.

It’s also seeking to increase the maximum weekly unemployment benefit to $409 from the current $370 on Jan. 1, 2022, before going to a formula that would be 50 percent of average weekly wages a year later before climbing to 75 percent on Jan. 1, 2024.

• The Department of Justice’s requested position to train law enforcement on use of force would research, develop and implement implicit bias, procedural justice, racial intelligence and other training to enhance current law enforcement academy curriculum. The material also would be used in continuing education for law enforcement. Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul also wants to fund a new position focused on supporting the mental health of first responders.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Encourage congress to take action on climate change As if the Covid pandemic and all the related social, educational, and economic challenges were not difficult enough, extreme weather events continue their steady increase in frequency and intensity. We’re learning new words like Derecho, the straight line storm that devastated cropland throughout the Midwest in early August. The Derecho’s damage dwarfed that of the Chetek tornado in May 2017 and the July 2019 storm that did extensive damage across north central Wisconsin. Further west, California has hundreds of fires burning uncontrolled and Colorado is experiencing its largest recorded wildfire. Back to back hurricanes are roiling the southeast.

According to a Yale University study, 55% of Wisconsinites are “worried about global warming.”

Unfortunately, for most of us, worrying is as far as it goes. But we need to take the next step. We need to create the political will to solve the climate change crisis that is driving these extreme weather events.

You can help do this by calling or emailing your representatives.

You can simply encourage your member of congress to take action to solve climate change. Or you can be more specific and express your support of the climate change bills in congress today which include HR 763 or Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, the RECLAIM Act, and the Growing Climate Solutions Act. Each of these three bills has the bipartisan appeal that is necessary to survive the ever-changing makeup of congress and be a true step forward in solving climate change, once and for all.

Your District 07 congressional members are: • Representative Tom Tiffany – 1 202 225 3365 • Senator Tammy Baldwin – 1 202 224 5653 • Senator Johnson – 1 202 224 5323.

Thieves steal tools, family memories, from Siren storage unit Do you ever get so tired that you can’t be any more tired than you already are? Like physically and mentally tired? Beaten down, tired?

Today was my breaking point.

We have a storage unit near our lake place near Siren. My husband went there last Sunday to put a few items away in preparation for winter.

When he arrived at the storage unit, he found that the two heavy-duty, stainless steel shackled locks that secured the unit had been cut. The 20x10 storage unit was nearly empty.

The only things that I kept of my dad’s after he passed and then after my mom’s passing were my dad’s tools. They were items that my siblings didn’t want or need.

I kept the toolboxes that he had in his office at his shop. After he retired and sold the business, he took his countertop toolboxes with him. They were in his garage at my parents’ lake home. In those drawers were hundreds of little things – useable items as well as things that have no value. I took the handwritten notes and lists that I had found of my dad’s and placed them in those drawers.

I had my dad’s glasses in one of those drawers. There were a couple of pictures in there, old knobs from his street rods, little jars of touch-up paint that my dad had opened some years ago. Some of the tools had been passed down to my dad from his dad.

My dad’s bench grinder that sat on top of the steel work bench that my dad made with his own hands, sweat, and imagination.

All gone. These things were a part of my dad’s life, part of mine, and my family’s life. They were not intended to be free for someone else’s taking.

My son’s fishing kayak: gone. When Wyatt was in middle school, he saved his money for months to be able to buy it. He wanted it, so he worked for it because that is what you do. It is how I was raised, and it’s how my children have been raised.

If I could, I’d buy these things back from the thieves who stole them.

I’d be happy to buy them back and I would even pay far more than they’ll ever be worth at a pawn shop or by selling them.

In my head I already hear my dad’s voice telling me, “Just let it go. It’s OK, baby.”

But honestly, I am not ready to let go. Not today, probably not tomorrow, or possibly not even next week, either.

At some point, I will forgive. But not right now. I’m far too angry I hope the thieves enjoy whatever it is they’re doing with the little bit of money they’ll make off of someone else’s hard work.

Cases double in 10 days SENTINEL REPORT

Last week the Sentinel reported Burnett County was up to 100 cases of COVID-19. This week that number has doubled.

The Burnett County Public

Health Department reported Monday afternoon Burnett County now has 201 lab confirmed cases of the coronavirus.

Of those cases, 77 have been identified as recovered.

The county is also currently monitor-

ing over 500 cases.

There have been confirmed cases linked to all three school districts in the county and the Government Center in Meenon has closed their doors for appointment only public use.

Attempted homicide in Clear Lake JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

A 32 year old Glenwood City man is in custody charged with attempted homicide following a Sept. 25 incident in rural Clear Lake.

According to a release from the Polk County Sheriff, Duane Smith Jr. was arrested

by Glenwood City police after fleeing the scene of a crime.

The 77-year-old victim was in stable condition airlifted to Regions Hospital, according to the Polk County statement.

On Friday a little after 6 p.m. Polk County deputies responded to a rural Clear Lake address for an attempted homicide of an elderly victim.

“The 77 year-old victim had

blunt-force trauma and edged weapon wounds,” Sheriff Brent Waak said in a press release. “The victim was Duane Smith Jr. able to fight off the attack and protect himself with a shotgun. The victim fired a shot but did not strike the suspect.”

“The St Croix County Sheriff’s Office and Glenwood City Police quickly located the suspect and took him into custody without incident,” Waak said.

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

85% of community newspaper readers ‘very likely’ to vote Newspaper readers are voters, and the annual readership survey of more than 1,000 people from rural and urban communities across the country once again validated that point.

The survey — conducted annually by Susquehanna Polling and Research of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania — found that 85% of community newspaper readers said they are “very likely” to vote in elections in 2020. Further, respondents rated community newspapers as the most trusted source of information about candidates running for public office.

On a scale of 1 to 10, respondents rated how much they trusted a source’s information when it came to learning about candidates for public office. (A score of “1” means you don’t trust them at all, while 10 means you trust them a lot.)

• Community newspapers rated an average of 5.77 – 6.23 among readers – topping all mediums • National network TV news – 5.13 • Cable TV news shows – 4.60 • Talk radio or satellite radio programs – 4.31 • Metropolitan newspapers that cover major cities and suburbs – 4.29 • Direct mailings from

Scouts have overnight canoe adventure

Scouts from Troop 564 in Burnett County had an overnight canoe adventure this past weekend. This was a two day, one night camping trip on the Namekagon River, which included lunch stops at river landings, dinner, campfire and breakfast at the campsite and over 26 miles of paddling and fun.

The Scout Troop serves all of Burnett County. Anyone with kids in sixth grade or older that are interested in joining can call Dan Campion 715-475-8060 for the boy’s troop and Jill Lamb 715-5662721 for the girl’s troop.

candidates or political parties – 3.73 • Facebook or Twitter – 2.92 When it comes to seeking out information about candidates for public office at the federal, state or local level, 68% of respondents turn to national network TV news “very or somewhat often,” closely followed by community newspapers (61%) and cable TV news programs (58%). Less than half of the respondents seek out direct mailings from candidates or political parties (42%), talk radio or satellite radio news program (38%), metropolitan newspapers that cover major cities and suburbs (33%) and Facebook or Twitter (29%) for information.

“Overall, great news for local community newspapers,” said NNA Vice President Matt Adelman, publisher of the Douglas (Wyoming) Budget. “[The results] show Facebook and even direct mail have far less impact and readership

than the political consultants insist, especially on the trustworthy scale where our newspapers rank about even with national news programs, but far ahead of the rest of the pack.”

The survey, also found community newspapers are the leading source for shopping decisions and advertising content.

For instance, 79% of respondents agree community newspapers “provide valuable local shopping and advertising information.” Further, 24% of respondents rate community newspapers as their go-to source for local purchasing decisions, beating out all other mediums.

• Social media platforms: 17% • Direct mailings: 14% • In store promotions: 12% • Local TV stations 10% • Radio ads: 4% • Cable TV ads: 2% • Metro newspapers: 1%

Bear hunting, a way of life AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, This summer and now fall I have run bear baits for the tenth year in a row in what I honestly believe is about as far south as you can hope to get a black bear in Wisconsin. In all honestly what I do in many cases is attempt to help someone to harvest their first bear.

Over the next two weeks I will share the adventure and try to teach you a bit about hunting this incredible animal.

Thursday, September 10 High 68, low 51 Michelle Chiaro is on the very first hunt of her life today, and she has been paying her dues since we set out our first baits of the year on June 9 in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area and surrounding public lands in northern Juneau County.

The season actually started yesterday as did what would be a two week “bear camp” in this beautiful area where there is literally hundreds of square miles without a fence or No Trespass sign. A solid rain would put a one-day delay to this adventure.

For 92 days Michelle or myself or the two of us together have been doing the 52-mile round trip drive and as of now five hikes into the forest to tend our baits. Some of what we have observed is almost constant sightings of hen turkey with their broods, there is always two hens and broods, for extra eyes and the largest deer population that I have seen in this area in years.

Until about a week ago I cannot remember a year that I had so many big bear on the camera, we have five out, I am talking big with at least three over 500-pounds and two over 600 that have come with great regularity and best of all giving us daylight pictures.

Michelle is an ICU nurse who works weekends and took off this week which would give us eight days to hunt and then four more the next week. A year ago, she purchased her first gun which is a Remington 740 “Woodmaster” 30:06 and she loves it.

We built our camp on the exact site where my dad brought me 49-years ago for my first deer hunt and I have never missed an opening day here.

I used my 13x8 Eskimo ice shack which we tarped, and it was simple, dry and flawless.

Something that most hunters do not understand about hunting bear over bait is this, the hunt begins in May or June and it is physical, expensive, incredibly psychological, and I am 100-percent addicted to it.

Zone C which is the unit that I create my adventure in has a harvest rate of 14% and on the southern end where we are located, I bet it is not 5%.

I honestly believe that the reason for that has every-

‘Until about a week ago I cannot remember a year that I had so many big bear on the camera.’

thing to do with people and I am not complaining, it’s just a fact.

Number one reason, acorns falling from the oak trees generally starts about a week before the season opens which is always the Wednesday after Labor Day. Number two, and this could be as big as number one. Where I hunt is as close to bear country as anyone south of northern Juneau County can get. In other words, if you are driving from Kenosha or Portage or Janesville to run baits it is a lot closer than driving let’s say to Cornell which is in the same unit.

Due to this fact there are so many baiters the bear in this area can go nocturnal. Thirty days before the season started, we had a couple of hunters and they are good guys, put a bait 600 yards away from our main bait, and within two days that bait became a nocturnal only bait and was never hit again in daylight hours.

Michelle and I have had an absolute blast, she is into anything outdoors and going for it. As I write this column we are down to our last night of hunting as we have a “hot bait” and she got one of her coworkers to cover for her until midnight.

In other words, we get out of the woods at dark, bear or no bear, do the 30-minute drive home, and then she has to do the two hour drive to work.

Like I said from day one, we have been giving it everything that we have! Sunset.

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

HSBC is still crawling with critters of the feline persuasion! If you are on the hunt for friendly, affectionate, kid-friendly pets, HSBC is the place!

Alma was adopted as a young kitten last summer, but unfortunate circumsstances have brought her b back to the shelter. Now a almost a year-and-a-halfo old, she is a black and w white short-haired bundle o of love with stunning jade e eyes. Alma is looking for a permanent place to be ssafe and adored!

Twenty-pound Bertha iis looking for a personal n nutritionist to help her Alma get healthy! She has been enjoying her “workout” sessions at the shelter and would love to continue in a fur-ever home. This five-year-old jet-black lady has a medium-length coat, fetching gold eyes and lots of cuddles to give!

If you have neighborhood outdoor cats, now is a great time to consider a home building project! In an afternoon, you can create an outdoor cat shelter that will keep your buddies safe and warm this winter. Interested? Here are some tips: Materials: Not a carpenter? Consider recycling items you have around.

Large cardboard boxes wrapped in plastic, old Styrofoam coolers or leftover foam insulation board are great bases. Increase the weatherproofing by nesting one inside Bertha the other!

Insulation: Add insulating materials cats can burrow into, like straw or a loosely stuffed plastic bag of packing peanuts in an old pillowcase.

Doors: Cut a door raised a few inches from the bottom of the shelter to prevent flooding. Attaching a door flap out of heavy vinyl or rubber helps keep the cold out and the warmth in!

Placement: Place your houses where the cats are already hanging out and take advantage of naturally occurring windbreaks (buildings, fences, porches). Use bricks to weigh down lightweight houses and raise shelters off the ground. Finally, invite tenants by sprinkling catnip at the entrances to their new homes.

For more information and links to plans for outdoor cat shelters, check out “It’s a Cat-astrophe!” on the HSBC website.

Consider Wedding Insurance Never has wedding insurance been such a hot topic than throughout the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Without much notice, many couples across the world were forced to improvise and change their plans when adjusting things for their big day. But what is wedding insurance and how can it help you reduce your risk of losing money when planning your wedding?

Basically, wedding insurance covers a problem with the venue or a supplier. It can also offer ďŹ nancial coverage in the case of a key wedding party member falling ill.

You can work with your local insurance providers to look at the various options on the marketplace.

In most cases, depending on the type of coverage a couple takes out, a wedding will be covered by insurance policies for the following: • A venue cancels on you. • A supplier changes plans. • Cancellation required due to a key guest not being able to attend due to poor health. • Personal liability and legal expenses. • Lost, stolen or damaged goods. • COVID-19-related cancella-

i tions.

Protect Yourself Let’s face it. Weddings are expensive. In order to be covered against the risk of losing a big portion of your budget, wedding venues will often actually require that you secure liability insurance to protect yourself and the venue during

bi event. This hi iinsurance your big provides you with protection if someone is injured at your wedding or one of your guests causes property damage to the venue. Many of these policies offer high limits and come with zero deductible.

Cancellation or Postponement Insurance

One portion O i off wedding ddi insurance includes cancellation or postponement policies.

This gives you an extra level of protection throughout the wedding planning process. Your provider may be able to reimburse you for lost deposits and non-refundable payments if you are forced to postpone or cancel your wedding due to circum-

l stances out off your control.

Many policies will also cover you if a wedding vendor cancels on you and you need to hire a new, more expensive vendor.

This can include additional coverage against loss or damage to wedding photographs and videos, wedding gifts, wedding rings or wedding day attire.

Small Ceremony, Big Crowd The small wedding ceremony is all the rage across the United States as couples look to get back to more intimate celebrations with those closest to them.

There are many benefits to a smaller ceremony, including reduced cost, stress and logistics if you pull it off correctly. You can also get more value for your dollar when it comes to paying for vendors, food and drink. Your wedding planner and decorator may also thank you for a smaller ceremony because there will be less hassle than having to decorate a larger space.

When weighing the options of hosting a smaller wedding, be sure to talk it over with your future spouse. A smaller, more intimate setting means you’ll likely have to limit the number of invitations you send out, which can be a stressful experience on its own because you’ll need to deal with the potential of leaving important people off your guest list.

More connection with your guests

One of the main benefits of a smaller wedding is a more manageable crowd size. You may feel like you are able to spend more time with your guests by limiting the invite list. Many brides and grooms will tell you their wedding day was a blur and they regret not spending more time with specific friends or mem-

bers of their families. A smaller ceremony can help lessen the amount of people you feel obligated to entertain on your special day.

Deciding on the Guest List Typically, a small wedding lends itself to about 50 people. That’s 25 people on each side. If the thought of limiting your

list to these numbers makes you cringe, then maybe a smaller wedding isn’t for you.

Consider if you want to extend guests to the reception following the ceremony, or if you prefer to keep your wedding

party small and exclusive. Finally, be sure to have a plan to address those who don’t make the invite list.

Be open and honest with them about your thoughts behind a smaller ceremony and let them

know this doesn’t make them any less special to you. As a special gesture, you can send post-wedding photographs or videos to make them feel like they were part of your day.

What to do in the wake of canceled events “Family Pride in Every Ride”

For ALL of your transportation needs

Weddings Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties

Events have been canceled or postponed across the globe in the wake of the outbreak of COVID-19. This has caused a disruption to not only commercial events like concerts and sporting events, but personal gatherings as well. Any party with a large number of potential guests has to be reconsidered. This includes graduation parties, weddings and birthdays. People facing the cancellation of such events can follow these guidelines.

• Speak to vendors to find out if cancellations can occur with no penalties.

Many hotels and other travel services are waiving fees for cancellations, or allowing bookings to be rescheduled at no additional cost.

• Try to think of some alternative dates for events like weddings and graduation parties as soon as possible. There is no way to accurately predict the path that

COVID-19 will take, nor put a firm date regular life can resume, but discussing alternative dates with vendors with whom you’re already under contract may put you at the top of the list when gatherings are once again allowed.

• Reach out to guests to explain that your plans are fluid. Expect that a good portion of guests, even those who already committed to attend, may not be able to make rescheduled events. Speak with vendors about fluctuating headcounts in the wake of COVID-19.

• Be patient and keep an open minded about events. These are unprecedented times and many people are learning as they go. Rescheduling events when the threat has subsided may cause a bottleneck effect with service providers.

Flexibility and patience can help make reschedule less stressful.

Tigers receive first loss KAYLA CASEY SPORTS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The Webster Tigers volleyball team received their first loss in an away game against the Grantsburg Pirates last Tuesday night. Their final score was 1-3.

Tiger’s coach Stefanie Janssen said, “Our Grantsburg match lacked some of the intensity, focus and execution of skills this group prides themselves on.”

They did really well keeping the Pirates from acing that night, holding them to only three aces. On the side of the Tigers, Lauren Hetfeld and Hannah Janssen both got two aces.

Brooke Hetfeld led the team in kills with 14 kills with Ava Washburn not far behind with 8 kills.

Hannah Janssen, who has been a strong leader with setting on the team, led the team with 20 assists while Kelsey Kidder led the team on digs with 14 digs.

With a loss on their record, coach Janssen said they “regrouped, made a few lineup changes and came out very strong against Luck.”

Their game against Luck took place at home on Thursday night and Janssen was correct in saying they came out strong. The final score of the night was 3-0, a big turnaround from their game against Grantsburg.

The cardinals had a tough time preventing Webster from receiving aces. Aces for the night were led by Lauren Hetfeld (7) and Emma Zmuda (6). Kidder and Washburn tied for leading the team with digs, both getting 11 digs on the night. Assists were led by Janssen (10) while Brooke Hetfeld led on kills (7).

Webster’s blocking game was very strong against Luck. Brooke Hetfeld has been a strong player both with hitting and blocking and led the team with seven blocks against the Cardinals while Kidder wasn’t far behind with five blocks.

With a big win under their belt, Webster then had to travel for their third game of the week Saturday against Turtle Lake. They won this non-conference game with a final score of 3-1. Zmuda’s serving skills in this game were exceptional, making 33 serves with

Pirates continue win streak KAYLA CASEY SPORTS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

EUGENE SIKORSKI

The Pirate’s volleyball team finished off last week with two more intense conference matches, totaling three in one week. They took on undefeated Webster on Tuesday at home and traveled to Unity on Thursday, taking a win both times remaining undefeated. The final score in both games was 3-1.

Pirate’s coach Deb Allaman-Johnson stated the Webster team has amazing athleticism which is dominated by talented and experienced seniors.

“We were fortunate enough to be able to hang in there with them and give them a battle. We dug out of some big holes again- really wish we would stop trying to make everything extra interesting.”

She went on to say that their serving toughness suffered in their game against the Tigers. “Not because our serves were weak, but because Webster’s passing was strong. We only aced them three times, they aced us six times.”

The aces came from Pirates Amy Harmon, Hanne Johnson and Lainie Thoreen.

Johnson led the team in both kills and digs against the Tigers with 26 kills and 20 digs. Jordan Java had a strong night blocking with four great blocks. Cate Lee and Jadyn Watt were tremendous with assists during the matches with Lee having 17 assists and Watt having 16.

Hannah Janssen set the ball while Lauren Hetfeld takes cover.

10 aces.

“The setters also did a great job running a well-rounded attacking front with Kidder, Washburn, Zmuda and both Hetfelds contributing numerous kills,” said Coach Janssen.

The Tigers next travel to Frederic to take on the Vikings Tuesday night.

Gerber, Doornink finish 1 and 2 at Unity JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL SPORTS

Juniors Will Gerber and Chase Doornink took first and second at the Unity Cross Country Invitational in Balsam Lake. The boys team took first place with seven runners at the invite. “(They) remain focused leading into tournament time and each workout they train with intent.

Both lead the team and challenge each athlete to improve during practice and meets,” said Natalie Doornink, Grantsburg cross country coach.

Gerber (16:50) has been on the podium before this year and in Balsam Lake was joined by Doornink (17:10).

A trio of Juniors finished inside the top 15 at the race, Brody Bongaarts (18:20), Mason Arnold (20:08) and Jordan Janes (20:10) had solid performances at Balsam Lake.

Hailea Rombach

Chase Doornink

Freshman Connor Quimby (20:16) and Joe Quintana (23:19) were also integral for the team score.

Doornink said of the girls team, “they are working hard and are a dedicated group of girls.”

The girls team also ran at Balsam Lake, but only had four runners so could not place in the team score. The team had three girls who were injured and unable to compete.

“We will continue to prepare and focus not on winning, but on earn-

ing PRs and running a relaxed race with the goal of each athlete reaching their full potential,” Doornink said.

Junior Hailea Rombach (24:38) led the team coming in 13th place. Three Sophomores, Tristin Kreuser-Peterson (25:36), Cassidy Troff (26:38) and Alex Kammeyer (30:08) also turned in solid performances.

The team competed at Flambeau on Tuesday and next week the head to Frederic/Luck. The season has had a few bumps with multiple cancelled

meets, but they’ve kept at it.

“I commend the girls and boys teams for their attitude,” Doornink concluded. “Some have the goal of running for a college and others purely the satisfaction of improving and achieving more than they thought possible.

In a sport that does not receive the acclaim, these athletes push through physical pain on the course each and every meet. That is the definition of a cross country athlete in my book.”

The Pirates headed to Unity on Thursday, Allaman-Johnson said the Unity Eagles presented the best hitting and blocking team they had faced so far this season.

“We definitely had our worst defensive performance of the season. It isn’t that our defense is getting worse–quite the contrary. It is really improving. However, the bangers on this team were really tough to dig and our block was extremely ineffective tonight. We got tooled over thirteen times. We need to put up a quicker roof and stronger hands.”

Even though the defense had a tough night, they passed the ball very well and earned their highest ever passer rating and percent of playable passes.

They were also only aced four times.

Johnson led the team with 21 kills against the Eagles while Cate Lee led in assists, assisting 19 times. Cate Lee also held the most aces that night with four aces while Watt and Thoreen both had two. Sadye Bunting and Johnson both had a great night for digs with Bunting having 14 and Johnson having 13.

Grantsburg played a non-conference game against Turtle Lake Monday night.

Their next game is against Luck at home on Thursday night.

FOOTBALL: Next week Grantsburg at home, Webster at Ladysmith CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

following the game.

“Grantsburg has a nice team with a lot of speed at the skill positions that gave us match-up problems. When you don't see that speed in practice every day it is hard for our kids to make those leverage adjustments,” Smith stated. “Now that the boys have been able to see it, we should be able to get the angles cleaned up. We had a lot of young kids playing on the edges and they will get better with experience.”

Webster’s offense struggled to get things going with Tiger quarterback Austin Sigfrids throwing for 69 yards while CJ Abbas was able to rush for 38 yards. Gage Rossow was the leading receiver for Webster bringing in 53 yards with just two catches.

Timothy Fornengo led the Tigers with nine total tackles, with two coming in the backfield.

Smith said the defense

line did a good job matching up with the physicality of Grantsburg.

He added, “Offensively we need to get the timing adjusted so that our backs are hitting the holes at the right time.”

Webster travels to Ladysmith for their next game on Friday.

“Ladysmith is a big physical team that we will have to match their intensity if we want a chance to come out on top,” Smith said.

Grantsburg will be spending this week preparing for Lake Holcombe. Hale said it will be a normal week with trying to avoid distractions, especially with Homecoming this week.

“Just like every other week with an emphasis on blocking out the Homecoming distractions when at practice,” Hale said.

‘You cannot believe everything you read’

Pastor Dave Prince Trade Lake Baptist

I like reading the paper. Every week I catch up with what’s happening in local news and sports. When I have a chance, I also read some of the ‘bigger’ papers. I’ve come to realize that with some of the ‘bigger’ papers you have to be careful and follow the old adage “you can’t believe everything you read.” This can also be true for books, magazines, the internet, etc. There is a notable exception – the Bible. I believe that the Bible is true and what the Bible says about Jesus is true. Why? Many reasons of which I will briefly share a few.

What was written about Jesus in the New Testament was eye witness testimony. People

knew Jesus, saw what Jesus did, heard what he said, had first hand information. As this was recorded, if it wasn’t recorded accurately, other eye witnesses would have spoken up and said “Hold on, that’s not true.” Then we have the Old Testament. Before Jesus was born, he was written about. The New Testament writers confirmed that from his birth to his death, every prophecy written about Jesus happened, was fulfilled. In addition to the eye witness and prophetic testimony about Jesus, there are numerous Ancient sources which collaborate the Biblical account of Jesus.

Why is this important? If what the Bible says

about Jesus is true ( it is) then Jesus is God’s Son through whom we can have forgiveness, life, and access to God. It would behoove us to pay attention to what He says. John 20:31 ‘ But these were written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” Do you know the Biblical Jesus?

Fall Home Improvement

Guide

September 2020

Forget the raking and bagging, this fall, help both wildlife and your back by leaving the leaves where they land.

The National Wildlife Federation says that raking up fallen leaves may harm the environment, wildlife and rob your lawn and garden of nutrients.

“Leaves form a natural mulch that helps suppress weeds and fertilizes the soil as it breaks down. Why spend money on mulch and fertilizer when you can make your own? Turning leaves into solid waste is, well, wasteful,” said National Wildlife Federation Naturalist David Mizejewski. “Removing leaves also eliminates vital wildlife habitat. Critters ranging from turtles and toads to songbirds, mammals and invertebrates rely on leaf litter for food, shelter and nesting material. Many moth and butterfly caterpillars overwinter in fallen leaves before emerging in spring. Also, sending organic matter such as leaves to the landfill causes the release of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

Best of all, the less time you spend removing leaves, the more time you’ll have to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather and the wildlife that visits your garden.”

Leaves and yard debris account for 13% of the nation’s solid waste, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or about 33 million tons a year. These tons of organic matter, piled up in the nation’s landfills, lack sufficient oxygen to decompose.

Piled up there, yard waste releases the greenhouse gas methane, which also harms

the environment.

All kinds of animals also use leaf litter as their home.

This includes turtles, toads, birds, insects, reptiles and amphibians. Furthermore, leaves smother weeds and can

fertilize the grass and plants you want to thrive in warmer months.

If you can, let leaves break down naturally, exactly where they fall. Pile them into leaf shelters along with branches,

sticks and stems to give shelter to vulnerable wildlife. You can also mulch them with a mulching mower. If you have to remove the leaves, add them to your compost pile or use them as mulch in your existing

flower beds. Some community groups and gardens may also offer to pick them up for use in their own gardens.

Install a Water Feature

be surprisingly expensive) and you’ll also need help placing them when you get home. Look for finishes and textures that compliment your surrounding landscape, any patio stone or masonry on your home, and that will wear well in the weather.

Depending on the design of your feature, you may also have to drill through the stone. You may be able to rent the equipment from the home and garden store or a local tool rental.

You can put in a gorgeous, eye-catching water feature in just the span of a weekend.

Keep reading for more on turning your backyard into an oasis.

LOOK AT YOUR SPACE

Decide what kind of feature that your space, your budget and your lifestyle can handle.

Is it a giant koi pond or a simple fountain trickling over rocks? Generally, the larger your feature is, the more electric or plumbing work you may have to have done.

You also need to consider what’s under the ground, and that includes tree roots and utilities.

CONSIDER PLANTINGS

Set off your new water feature with plants, but not those so big they might disrupt your pond or fountain with roots or branches. Also make sure you choose perennials at this time of year and tend to them carefully over the winter until they are well established.

USE UNDERLAYMENT

No matter which project you choose, you’ll likely need underlayment to protect your water feature. Look for it at your local home and garden center. Get enough so that it extends over and around your water feature.

FOUNTAIN CARE

Fall Home Improvement Guide

Pressure Washing Safety Tips

So many fall projects, like painting the house, start with getting everything clean. And the quickest way to clean most exterior surfaces is with a pressure washer or power washer.

Remember that any pressure washer that produces greater than 100 pounds per square inch of pressure can cause serious injury that can lead to infection, disability or amputation.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these safety tips for using a pressure washer.

• Always follow the safety instructions included in the owner’s manual.

• Never point a pressure washer at yourself or others.

• Remember that the spray can throw objects, also at high pressure, that can cause injuries to bystanders or to yourself.

• Never attempt to push or move objects with the pressure washer spray.

• Never use a gasoline-powered washer in an enclosed space or near air intakes.

• Always test the ground fault circuit interrupter be-

fore using a pressure washer.

• Always plug a properly grounded pressure washer into a properly grounded

receptacle.

• If you need an extension cord, keep the pressure washer’s power cord connection

out of standing water and use a heavy duty extension cord rated for use in wet locations.

• Keep the power cord and

any extension cords as far away as you can from the item being washed and any water runoff.

• Wear rubber-soled shoes that provide insulation from electrical jolts.

• Never cut or splice the pressure washer’s power cord or extension cords.

• Never remove the grounding prong from the pressure washer’s power cord or the extension cord.

• Always have a qualified electrician check the pressure washer if it trips a circuit breaker.

• Never allow children to operate a pressure washer.

Keep children away from a pressure washer while it’s in use.

• If you injure yourself with the pressure washer, keep in mind that what seems like a small wound can be more serious. Get treatment right away.

• Before you treat any injuries incurred by a pressure washer, wash your hands with soap and clean water.

• Make sure you clean the wound well, too, with clean or bottled water.

• Leave unclean wounds open. If you can clean the wound, cover it with a clean cloth or bandage.

Get a Fresh Coat

The cooler weather of fall can be a great time to update the exterior of your home with a fresh coat of paint.

Here are some tips from HGTV on how to get your home looking great in no time.

Step 1: Clean it up.

You can’t put paint over dirt. Get the best coverage by removing dirt and debris from your house using a pressure washer. Work from the top to bottom, overlapping each stroke.

Step 2: Repair. While you’re washing, make note of any damage to wood, brick, stucco or siding. Use epoxy filler to cover cracks or holes.

Once the filler is dry, lightly sand it using medium-grit sandpaper.

Step 3: Remove loose paint. Scrape or sand loose paint off the surfaces around your home before painting.

Step 4: Caulk the trim. Fill any gaps between the house and trim around your doors

and windows using caulk made for exterior finishes. Caulk wherever different materials

meet.

Step 5: Cover stains.

Put a coat of stain-blocking primer over any

Step 6: Protect doors, windows and

Step 7: Paint! Here’s the fun part. Load a paint sprayer with your chosen exterior paint (pick a flat or eggshell finish for the best look).

Work your way from top to bottom, moving smoothly and overlapping your strokes, just like you did when you power washed. If your color is very different from what’s already on the house, you may need a coat of primer, too. Talk to the professionals at your local paint store for advice.

Step 8: Paint the trim. Remove the plastic sheeting and get to your windows and doors using an exterior semigloss paint and a paintbrush. Use drop cloths to make clean up easier.

Step 9: Touch up.

After you get everything cleaned up, walk around your house and touch up any surfaces that may have gotten missed or scratched during the process.

Then, sit back and enjoy your fresh curb appeal.

Coach Comments: Q. What are the goals for this season? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your Team?

A. Morgan Shetler, Jaidyn Jewell, Hannah Lemieux, Vinni Rightman, Jalynn Nelson, Abigail Hayman, Emma Aubert, and Maddy Thiex.

Q. Who are the favorites in the conference and how does your team compare?

A. Grantsburg always seems to be a tough team in our conference. I think my girls can definitely make an appearance and keep them on their toes. : ) As I said, we are taking one game at a time and putting our best effort into each and every opponent we come across.

GRANTSBURG VOLLEYBALL Head Coach: Deb Allaman-Johnson Last year’s record/highlights: Our varsity was 30-6 in 2019. Conference runners up 10-2, Regional champs. Sectional runners up – lost to eventual state runners up LaCrosse Aquinas.

Roster: Seniors–Amy Harmon, Gretchen Lee, Allison Peterson, Lainie Thoreen, Jadyn Watt. Juniors– McKayla Blume, Sadye Bunting, Tiffany Gronski, Hanne Johnson, Cate Lee. Sophomore–Renee Tooze. Freshman–Jordan Java.

Coach Comments: Q. What are the goals for this season? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your Team?

A. Our goal is to be positive and competitive under challenging and unusual circumstances. We have powerful attackers. The key will be to get good passes and sets to them. This is a strange and potentially difficult season due to the changes and restrictions.

Q. List the returning letter winners and include information on statistics and any post season accolades. Who are your potential starters or leaders on the team?

A. Seniors–Gretchen Lee, Allison Peterson, and Jadyn Watt. Juniors–Sadye Bunting, Tiffany Gronski, and Hanne Johnson.

We have only three returning players with significant varsity experience: Jadyn, Allison, and Hanne. We are rebuilding this season after graduating over a dozen top-tier players in two years. Jadyn and Hanne are team captains who bring a lot of positive energy and skill to the court. Freshman Jordan Java is a powerful player and big jumper who will be needed immediately.

Junior Tiffany Gronski improved her vertical by three inches and is hitting with strength this year.

There are many roles that are up for grabs and we have very little time to prepare this season due to the club and summer shutdown, the three week season delay, and loss of our big pre-season tournament plus two a day practices, etc.

Many of us are in the same boat, so we will strive to do our best.

Q. Who are the favorites in the conference and how does your team compare?

A. We hope to be competitive in our perennially tough conference. Unity and Webster are very strong. Everyone will be a challenge for us this year!

We won our first regional match vs. Cumberland, but lost to Grantsburg in regional semi-finals.

Coach Comments: Q. What are the goals for this season? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your Team?

A. Our goal for the 2020 season is to play every match in a way that demonstrates intensity, focus, team unity, strong character, and a love for the game. We are thankful for every opportunity we get to compete.

This year’s squad includes eight seniors, seven of whom have been varsity players since their freshman year. Their maturity, knowledge of the game, work ethic and leadership skills will be huge strengths for our team. Add in a few very talented underclassmen and we should be a strong force in the conference this season.

Q. List the returning letter winners and include information on statistics and any post season accolades. Who are your potential starters or leaders on the team?

A. Last year’s letter winners: Emma Zmuda, Serena Peck, Hannah Janssen, Brooke Hetfeld, Kelsey Kidder, Summer Winkler, Torrance Wols, Ava Washburn, Winter Messer.

Team Captains - Brooke Hetfeld, Hannah Janssen, Torrance Wols.

We only had one player graduate last year, so we are returning the majority of our starters. They’ve all worked hard over the summer and are prepared to do big things this season!

Q. Who are the favorites in the conference and how does your team compare?

A. As always, our conference will be tough.

Grantsburg is a perennial favorite and Unity had a very strong team last year as well. We look forward to playing them and the other talented teams that make up our conference. It will be a battle to see who comes out on top this year!

Freshman–Joe Quintana, Connor Quimby.

Coach Comments: We have a young team and are off to a strong start. Their off season training proved to benefit the team. Junior Will Gerber achieved a career personal record time at Webster and has lead the way at each of the meets. Chase Doornink’s success was cut short last season due to a stress fracture and he’s back as a junior looking strong and earned a career personal best time with top finishes. The boys team is placing high with a 1st place at Grantsburg, 2nd place in Bruce, and 1st place in Webster. As a coach, I most enjoy seeing each athlete improve and watching the camaraderie and trust that comes from the sport of cross country.

The girls are also a young team with one senior Kaitlyn Rombach who is running cross country for the first time and doing well. Ayla Meyer and Alexis Slater are leading the girls team with Hailea Rombach joining the pack. The girls placed 3rd at home for the Grantsburg Sherstad Inviational, 2nd at the Bruce Invite, and 2nd at the 6th annual James Muus invite at Webster. The girls team shows grit and continue to overcome together.

Covid-19 has given us some hurdles in scheduling and protocol. The high school meet schedule was modified to eliminate non region meets. Fortunately, with multiple cancellations we were able to pick up local meets to fill in the gap in our schedule. The middle school is limited to three meets this year due to numbers and transportation restrictions. We limited middle school participation to 6-8 grade to comply with safety guidelines and a late start to the season. Other changes include requirements to wear masks at the meets prior to the start of the race. At the line athletes are allowed to remove masks when the officials begin the countdown to the start of the race. It certainly is different trying to warm up and utilize oxygen delivery when wearing a mask. For cross country the spectators are limited and asked to wear a mask for the safety of the teams and officials. As a team we are thankful to be able to have a season- we are aware that things could change at any minute for our season. We choose to focus on gratitude and appreciating each practice and meet this season. We are thankful to be an outdoor sport that can adapt as necessary. The athletes are enjoying competing and the social interaction and camaraderie that is Cross Country. Although, limited in some ways with various protocols our focus this season is on the journey and not the destination. Afterall, we don’t know what the season holds for athletes or for tournament time. We make every day count. I am proud of these athletes and their passion for the sport.

Coach Comments: Q. What are the goals for this season? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your Team?

A. Our goal is to play as a team, play for one another and make a run in the playoffs.

Q. List the returning letter winners and include information on statistics and any post season accolades. Who are your potential starters or leaders on the team?

A. We are returning senior starters Tristian Benjamin, Mason Gustafson, Jake Gurnard, Tim Fornego. We will be young at several positions. If we can get a few of those athletes to step up, we have a chance at making the playoffs again this year.

Q. Who are the favorites in the conference and how does your team compare?

A. I think Grantsburg, Unity and Lake Holcombe will be tough to beat with several new teams entering the conference this year it could be wide open.

Coach Comments: Q. What are the goals for this year’s team? What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses on your team?

A. The first goal would to be able to play the full adapted schedule and give these kids their season. Second, to stay healthy and compete each week for a conference championship.

Strengths – nine returning starters on offense.

Weakness – Not a lot of depth and us putting guys in the right spots to be successful on defense will be key.

Q. List the returning letter winners and include information on statistics and any post season accolades. Who are your potential starters or leaders on the team?

A. Zach Miller, Sterling McKinley, Matt Kottke, Isaac Quimby, Aidan Burkman, Cam Denn, Trevor Anderson, Isaac Lee, Carter Johnson, Gage Hall, Simon Bunting, Derek Lee, Jared VanWatermuelen. Ike Lee is two year returning starter who we will look to be our leader up front while Sterling McKinley had a nice first year at starting QB last season. We look to our entire senior class for leadership.
