A place setting for one, a table for all
Rennicke named district attorney
The tradition of setting a separate table in honor of our prisoners of war and missing comrades has been in place since the end of the Vietnam War. The manner in which this table is decorated is full of special symbols to help us remember our brothers and sisters in arms. Those who have served, and those currently serving in the uniformed services of the United States, are never mindful that the sweetness of enduring peace has always been tainted by the bitterness of personal sacrifice. We are compelled to never forget that while we enjoy our daily pleasures, there are others who have endured and may still be enduring the agonies of pain, deprivation and imprisonment. Before we begin our activities, we pause to recognize our POWs and MIAs. We call your attention to this small table which occupies a place of dignity and honor. It is set for one, symbolizing the fact that members of our armed forces are missing from our ranks. They are referred to as POWs and MIAs. We call them comrades. They are SEE POW-MIA, PAGE 2

The tradition table setting for the POW/MIA table is a common sight leading up to Veterans Day.
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today announced his appointment of James Rennicke to serve as Burnett County District Attorney. Rennicke is assistant district attorney for Polk County and currently serves as special prosecutor in Burnett County, handling the entire criminal caseload for the county. He has more than three decades of experience practicing criminal law in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, including as district attorney in Rusk County, assistant district attorney in Douglas and Polk Counties, and as criminal defense counsel. “Mr. Rennicke has committed his life work to fair and thoughtful justice. He is a dedicated public servant who goes above and beyond for the good of his community,” Gov. Evers said. “Mr. Rennicke is exactly the kind of stabilizing force that Burnett County
James Rennicke
deserves.” Gov. Evers’ appointment of Rennicke fills a vacancy created by the resignation of former district attorney Joseph Schieffer. Rennicke will fill the remainder of the unexpired term that ends January 2021. Burnett County also has assistant district attorney Dan Steffen working in the DA’s office.
Four Star Sports sold to Nextgen WEBB LAKE––For the last 26 years Four Star Sports in Webb Lake has provided quality service and equipment for outdoor activities to its customers. Last week the business was sold to another business two miles up the road. Four Star Sports was recently sold to Nextgen Powersports in Webb Lake. Greg Main, who serves on the Webb Lake board as a supervisor and is a member of the Webb Lake Fire Department, closed the deal
Friday. His new inventory was bought by Nextgen along with the Four Star Sports building on Long Lake Road in Webb Lake. Main told the Sentinel he will be spending the next month selling off inventory at Four Star Sports and then will be retiring. “I may do some traveling,” Main said. He told a customer he would like to do some more fishing and snowmobiling in his free time.

unable to be with their loved ones and families, so we join together to pay humble tribute to them and to bear witness to their continued absence. The table is small, symbolizing the frailty of one prisoner, alone against his or her suppressors. The tablecloth is white, symbolic of the purity of their intentions to respond to their Country’s call to arms. The single rose in the vase signifies the blood they may have shed in sacrifice to ensure the freedom of our beloved United States of America. This rose also reminds us of the family and friends of our missing comrades who keep faith, while awaiting their return. The red ribbon on the vase represents an unyielding determination for a proper accounting of our comrades who are not among us. A slice of lemon on the plate reminds us of their bitter fate. The salt sprinkled on the plate reminds us of the countless fallen tears of families as they wait. The glass is inverted, they cannot toast with us at this time. The chair is empty. They are NOT here. The candle is reminiscent of the light of hope, which lives on our hearts to illuminate their way home, away from their captors, to the open arms of a grateful nation. The American flag reminds us that many of them may never return- and have paid the supreme sacrifice to insure our freedom. Let us pray to the Supreme Commander that all of our comrades will soon be back within our ranks. Let us remember- and never forget their sacrifice. May God forever watch over them and protect them, and their families.

Ahlquist receives the Service Above Self award KAYLA CASEY NEWS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
Carol Ahlquist, the Director of Nursing at the Continuing Care Center (CCC) in Grantsburg was the first recipient to receive the Service Above Self award. The Rotary Club is beginning a new award system for the Service Above Self award. Every quarter, there will be a recipient of this award chosen by the previous recipients. When Ahlquist attended the rotary meeting last week, she was under the impression that she would be choosing the first person to receive this award. She was stunned to find out that she was actually going to be the first recipient. There were three fellow staff members from Burnett Medical Center (BMC) who attended the meeting to speak about Ahlquist and why she was receiving the award. The first member who spoke was Joann Phernetton, a social worker at BMC. Tears were held back as she spoke about Ahlquist and why she was deserving of this award. She used Carol’s name spelled backwards to use words to describe her- Loving, optimistic, radiant, affirming and Christlike. The next speaker was Amy Frommader, a nurse at BMC. Frommader has been working

with Ahlquist for 22 years. She said, “What makes her the best is the way that she makes everyone else, all people around her, want to be better.” She is always finding time to help residents, staff and resident’s family members. She ended her speech beautifully with recognition of Ahlquist. “She is so, so deserving to be recognized. She’s not recognized enough for all that she does for CCC.” Lynn Carlson, the Rehab Manager at BMC, then took a few moments to speak about
Ahlquist. “If you’re having a bad day and you meet her in the hallway, she’s got the biggest smile of anybody.” He was very pleased and said that Ahlquist is very deserving to start off the tradition of the quarterly Service Above Self award. The person who presented the award to Ahlquist was her brother Peter Johnson. Before presenting Ahlquist with the award, he took the time to speak about her and her tough, selfless careers in oncology, nursing and as a CNA. He explained that one
of the most selfless things she does is around Christmas time. Ahlquist will come in on Christmas morning and work for a nurse who was otherwise supposed to be working that day so they can be with their family. After accepting the award, Ahlquist thanked the rotary for absolutely everything they do for CCC. She has always enjoyed her careers in helping others and she loves nothing more than to take care of people. “The thrill of my life is that I’ve been able to take care of many community people who were foundational in forming my life.” A few examples were her fellow family members, for-

All treats, no tricks
T
his year the Sentinel hosted Main Street Treats. It was the inaugural year and feedback has been incredibly positive. Photos from the event along with the winner of the costume contest can be found in this paper. The biggest mistake we made was not having an official counter standing at the door keeping tally of all the children coming through the office. We may bring in one of those old-school turn-style machines for next year like they have at baseball stadiums and train stations. But with all joking pushed aside, we have been hearing phenomenal feedback on the event including the fact that we had upwards of 70 children safely trick or treating from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We had Sentinel some cold winds, but other than that the weather was good and Editor the youngsters showed up in their Jonathan Richie finest costumes ranging from lions and sharks to transformers and princesses. We also heard a lot of good feedback from the community. “This is great for our small little town.” “I didn’t expect to see this many kids in Grantsburg for this. It’s really good for our community.” “This is great. I’m really glad you guys did this.” “It’s nice that you had the photo booth and the pictures turned out great.” Those are just a few of the comments we heard from community members. It was an event that has been done at our sister paper, The Osceola Sun, for several years. Our sales representative Roberta Hein brought the idea into our office and got the ball rolling. The idea was to have a feel-good event for local businesses and also have a little fun with the costumes. And to give children candy, that was a big part of this too. The Sentinel staff even showed up for the event in our group costume – M&Ms. Even if one of the employees, who shall remain nameless, because he said, “I only dress up as Reggie White or something from The Office for Halloween,” was against the group costume from the beginning. Spoiler alert - that staff member was me. Later in the week, I had a conversation with the boss about our costumes and I had told him I was selected as the blue M&M. “Oh… is the blue M&M the one always hurling wisecracks?” he said. If that’s what I’m known for – great. I love having a smart mouth as long as it doesn’t get me into trouble. There was this one time, well actually three or four times, it has gotten me into trouble but those are stories for another time. I would like to thank everyone that helped to make Main Street Treats a success. We will discuss how it went and some minor changes will be made to ensure next year is even better with the possibility of expanding. If you have any suggestions do not hesitate to contact me or the Sentinel office as we are already planning for next year.

W
ell, Halloween and fall are over, Christmas and winter are coming up soon. Oh, and there’s that slight detour for Thanksgiving to deal with as well. I hope you had a great Halloween. It was certainly brisk out trick or treating with our 5-year-old granddaughter, Sera. This was the second year my wife and I got to go out with the grandkids and it is always a good time seeing the world through the eyes of a child. Sera dressed as Merida, the princess from “Brave,” a 2012 Pixar movie. We circumnavigated her neighborhood until her bucket got full and From the Publisher’s became “too heavy.” We returned home so she could have four pieces of Desk candy, something to drink and work on her homework. Tom Stangl It was a great evening. Sera did well i h a few f scary situations and remembered most of with the time to say “trick or treat” and more importantly, “thank you” at each home. But my mind wandered a bit as it does since I reached late middle age. I wondered why there weren’t more children out working the streets for candy. Sure, it was a Thursday night and a bit colder than normal, but there was FREE CANDY available for the asking. I began thinking about my children’s childhoods and my own and realized that getting a bag of free candy simply isn’t as special as it was when I was a child. Then I realized I was old. Because when I was a kid, Halloween was one of three times in the year that I had easy access to candy. Christmas and Easter were the other two opportunities, but Halloween was by far the greatest candy

holiday. Why? Because the amount of candy you could get was up to you. If you got out as soon as supper was over, kept moving door to door, you could work a lot of doors before the lights went out after 8 p.m. In many ways, Halloween in those days was the ultimate candy capitalism holiday for children. If you put in the time, you got the goods. As the fifth of six children, candy was a treat that rarely came into our lives. I never went without a meal and had a chance at a bottle of pop or a bowl of ice cream every now and then. Mom made popcorn on the stove several nights a week, which was great, but never a Snickers bar. So, when Halloween came around, we literally went to town. In those days in a town of 1,600 people, it was not uncommon for children to be seen wandering all over town without supervision. It was what we did. Our moms, busy cleaning and cooking wanted us out of the house so they could get their many tasks accomplished. Contrast that with today when we feel the need to have devices that can be tracked on our children on the off chance they are able to shake their parental bodyguards. Candy is plentiful and readily available, but rationed to avoid issues with weight gain and behavior. As much as it pains me to say this, I think Halloween as I knew it is dead. It’s probably for the best, but you can’t blame a boomer for mourning. One last fun size Snickers for the road, please. As always, I welcome your comments.

CAPITOL REPORT
Pence: U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal is a win for Wisconsin Vice President Mike Pence is calling on Congress to pass President Trump’s U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, saying it’s “a win for Wisconsin and a win for America.” Pence, speaking Oct. 23 at an America First Policies event at the Uline warehouse in Pleasant Prairie, urged attendees to contact Democrats representing Wisconsin in Congress, singling out U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-La Crosse, and U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison. “Tell the Democrats representing Wisconsin in Washington, D.C., that Wisconsin needs the USMCA,” Pence said. But he said there’s no need to contact Republicans representing the state, as “they’re fighting every day for the USMCA.” Pence said the trade agreement would boost both manufacturing and agriculture in Wisconsin and the U.S. “It’s a win in the city and on the farm, and it’s still sitting there on the speaker’s desk,” Pence said. He predicted that if Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., brought the trade deal to the floor, it would pass with bipartisan support. Pence drew applause several times during his address before a large crowd on Uline’s warehouse floor, particularly when highlighting economic gains
made under President Trump. “It’s been three years of action. It’s been three years of results. It’s been three years of promises made and promises kept,” Pence said. “And we’re just getting started.” Pence was introduced by U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Janesville, and U.S. Solicitor of Labor Kate O’Scannlain; they both praised the trade agreement. Ahead of the stop, Democrats and union officials gathered in Kenosha to slam what they called a string of broken promises from the Trump administration. John Drew, a former UAW Local 72 president, charged Trump has used working people as props. He pointed to the president’s promise that he would save jobs at a Carrier Air Conditioner plant in Indianapolis only to see them sent to Mexico. Drew said Trump promised he would save a GM plant in Lordstown, Ohio, telling people at a nearby rally not to sell their homes because the jobs were coming back, but it is still slated to close. And he noted the president attacked Harley-Davidson for producing more motorcycles overseas, and the company’s recent report showed earnings fell 24 percent in the quarter as tariffs and weak sales hurt the company’s bottom line. The only promise Trump has kept,
Drew said, was to cut taxes, but that has largely benefited the rich. “Working people can’t afford four more years of broken promises,” Drew said. “We need a president who will hear our concerns and keep their word, not someone who sells us out.” U.S. House Democrats are “trying to get to ‘yes’” on Trump’s trade deal, according to U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, a Ways and Means Committee member. “We’re not trying to kill this initiative simply because it’s a Trump initiative,” the Milwaukee Democrat said at a WisPolitics.com DC breakfast on Oct. 23. “We want to do the right thing for the country.” If approved by all three nations involved, USMCA would replace the current North American Free Trade Agreement, established Jan. 1, 1994. The three countries agreed on the modification to trade policy on Oct. 1, 2018. Negotiations began back in summer 2017. The Mexican government ratified the USMCA in July this year shortly after Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador, their newly elected president, took office. The U.S. and Canada have yet to approve of the deal through their respective governments. Moore said some House Democrats have concerns over the labor standards in the agreement and a lack of enforce-
Putting the people above the politics DARIN VON RUDEN
Recent developments in Madison have threatened livestock siting rule changes, leaving our water and rural communities at risk. Last Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald threatened that legislators would deny the appointment of Brad Pfaff, secretary-designee of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Fitzgerald asked Gov. Evers to withdraw his nomination of Pfaff, who, like many cabinet members, has been awaiting Senate confirmation for nearly a year. Hours later, Sec. Pfaff announced the DATCP board would not move forward with a Nov. 7th vote on updates to the state’s Livestock Siting Rules, aka ATCP 51. This decision comes after citizens turned out across the state for hearings and proposed revisions to the rules, which safeguard Wisconsin’s land, water and communities. The law that gave rise to the ATCP 51 rules was originally adopted as a bipartisan compromise to strike a fair and balanced agreement between growth in Wisconsin agriculture and local governments’ ability to mitigate risks associated with large livestock operations in their communities. The mere hours between the two decisions hardly seems like a coincidence. Instead, it appears to be the result of pressure exerted by industry groups and another move in a gross political game that has left our government hamstrung and the interests of Wisconsin citizens ignored. Hundreds of citizens participated in the ATCP 51 hearings, and those who testified overwhelmingly supported updating the rules. Proposed revisions would hold large livestock operations accountable for damage to land, water, roads, and neighboring property values. The revisions would impact only 1 percent of the state’s very largest farms. To scrap the rules now is to ignore all the people who took the time to participate in the public process. Wisconsin citizens also expect that when they take the time to participate in public hearings, their views will be respected and not ignored. Our public servants fell short of both of these expectations last Friday. The Livestock Siting rules have not been updated in over a decade, and in the face of increasing odor, noise, and traffic complaints and increasing permitting costs being shouldered by local governments, the updates are long overdue.
Our legislators’ attempts to use political maneuvering to shutter these revisions is disappointing, as is Pfaff’s apparent willingness to capitulate in the face of opposition and a threat to his title. As Midwest Environmental Advocates noted in a recent post on social media, “The real losers in this political power struggle are the thousands and thousands of families whose Darin Von Ruden d quality of life steadily erodes as the industrial farming model tightens its grip on rural Wisconsin. Who is looking out for them?” Among those being hurt by this industrial agriculture model are the hundreds of family farms we’ve lost each year, including 691 dairy herds in 2018 and 634 so far in 2019 (as of Oct. 1). The Senate is scheduled to vote on Pfaff’s appointment tomorrow, Nov. 5th. It remains unclear whether ATCP 51, the Livestock Siting revisions, will move forward for a vote. Wisconsin Farmers Union encourages those displeased with this gridlock to contact Governor Tony Evers’ office (608-266-1212) DATCP (608-224-5012) and your State Senator’s office (find contact info at http://maps.legis.wisconsin.gov/). Urge them to tell Secretary-Designee Pfaff to put the vote on ATCP 51 back on this Thursday’s DATCP Board agenda. If the DATCP board does not vote the rules forward on Thursday, all of the positive progress that we have made on these rules will be lost. It is not right to put the political appointment of one person ahead of the voices of hundreds of citizens. First and foremost, we need our public servants to serve the public interest. The gridlock of inactivity exhibited by both state and national representatives due to political squabbles is having a direct effect on the everyday lives of citizens. Enough of this game-playing – it is time that our legislators stop impeding the democratic process and let the people speak. Von Ruden is a Westby dairy farmer and president of Wisconsin Farmers Union, a grassroots organization committed to enhancing the quality of life for farmers, rural communities, and all people.
ment measures to make sure those standards are met. She said another Democratic issue with the agreement is the chapter on patents and intellectual property rights for the pharmaceutical industry. Any changes to the deal made by U.S. politicians would need new approval in Mexico and Canada. Moore said Trump and his team need “to do something other than take the tour to try to stir up support” and get behind working with Democrats to pass the agreement in the House. She said Trump and the GOP need to get support “from a broad swath of our caucus” to pass the trade deal. According to the Office of the United States Trade Representative’s website, one aspect of the deal is it would open U.S. access to Canada’s dairy industry by providing “new tariff rate quotas exclusively for the United States.” Restrictions on most agricultural trade between the nations would be lowered from current standards.

Wisconsin has widest achievement gap on nation’s report card MADISON— Wisconsin has the widest achievement gap between black and white students of any state based on results of a test known as the nation’s report card. The National Assessment of Educational Progress test results released Wednesday show no significant change from statewide results a decade ago. However, declining scores for the lowest performing students resulted in Wisconsin having the widest achievement gap of any state. Wisconsin superintendent of schools Carolyn Stanford Taylor says the achievement gap is a crisis and closing the gaps is “imperative for our state.” The test was given to students in fourth and eighth grade last spring. Wisconsin’s scores were higher than the national averages in Carolyn Stanford Taylor both grades and in Wisconsin superintendent both subjects. of schools African American students in Wisconsin in both fourth and eighth grades underperformed students nationally.

Hunters encouraged to get Beenken pleads mental disease in attempted deer tested for CWD homicide case
This year, enhanced CWD (chronic wasting disease) surveillance efforts are occurring throughout 18 counties in northern Wisconsin as part of a multi-year rotation across the state to determine where CWD exists on the landscape. Additional surveillance efforts will focus on areas surrounding wild and captive positive detections as well as in select counties with low sampling numbers in recent years. To meet surveillance goals, the department is seeking to test as many deer as hunters will provide for sampling in the following locations: Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Eau Claire , Florence, Forest, Iron, Juneau, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Marinette, Marquette, Oconto, Oneida, Polk, Portage, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Shawano, Taylor, Vilas, Washburn and Waupaca counties. Surveillance is also continuing in the Southern Farmland Zone. While there are focused areas of surveillance, hunters anywhere in Wisconsin can have their deer tested for CWD, and there are a variety of options available to make sampling convenient for hunters. Options for CWD sampling include both in-person service as well as self-service options. Hunters should contact staffed sampling stations in advance to verify hours of operation and should have their harvest authorization number and location of harvest information available when submitting a sample for CWD testing.
DEER CARCASS WASTE DISPOSAL Hunters are encouraged to dispose of deer carcass waste in a licensed landfill that accepts this waste or in a dumpster designated for deer carcass waste. If a municipality allows deer disposal curbside or at a transfer station, the carcass should be double bagged. If these options are not available and the deer was harvested on private land, burying the deer carcass waste or returning it to the location of the harvest are the next best options. “The cooperation of businesses who provide a sampling or disposal location and the hunters who have their
deer tested are vital to the success of our CWD surveillance process,” Tami Ryan, DNR Acting Director of the Bureau of Wildlife Management. Hunters can find a map with the CWD sampling locations and deer carcass disposal locations on the DNR website as well as in the Hunt Wild app. BAITING & FEEDING There are currently baiting and feeding bans in several counties throughout the state. Hunters and landowners should check the DNR baiting and feeding webpage frequently for updates, as new baiting and feeding bans may be enacted in 2019 with new wild or captive CWD positive detections. None of the counties currently identified statewide will be removed from the baiting and feeding ban in 2019. PREVENT THE SPREAD OF CWD The DNR recommends a few simple practices to help prevent the spread of CWD. This includes and is not limited to information on proper carcass transportation, handling, and disposal, reporting sick deer, following baiting and feeding information and the cleaning and decontamination of equipment. Another way hunters can help is by following urine-based scent recommendations. SICK DEER REPORTS DNR staff is interested in reports of sick deer. To report a sick deer, contact local wildlife staff or call the DNR’s Customer Service hotline at 1-800-8479367. TEST RESULTS To view CWD results for a harvested deer, hunters will need to enter a customer ID or CWD sample barcode number. The average turnaround time from when the deer is brought to a sampling station to when the results are available is typically 10-14 days. The Centers for Disease Control, Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services and the World Health Organization advise against consuming venison from deer that have tested positive for CWD.

Charles H. Beenken, 40, Frederic, pleaded guilty but not guilty due to mental disease or defect to child abuse – intentionally cause great bodily harm in Burnett County stemming from an incident last November. In July, Beenken pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to all charges. Beenken was also charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide, Beenken a class A felony, two counts of false imprisonment, a class H felony, physical abuse of a child, a class C felony, two counts of felony bail jumping, misdemeanor battery, strangulation and suffocation, a class H felony, possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia. All of those charges were dismissed but read in for sentencing purposes. According to the criminal complaint, on Nov. 18 deputies went to the residence on State Road 48 in Trade Lake. Once inside, they noted the home had a strong odor of feces and “there were feces on the ground” throughout the house. One of the deputies saw a large pile of blankets on a bed and began pulling the covers away and discovered a child laying on the bed. “The child was bleeding from the head” and had a large laceration across his forehead. When the boy saw the uniformed officer he stopped crying and allowed himself to be removed from the scene. At this time he told the officer, “I need
to go to a doctor, my daddy hurt me.” There was dried blood all over his face. Later on, the deputy was told by EMT services that the boy had a broken orbital bone, broken sinus cavity, was bleeding in the sinus cavity and had a subdural hematoma between his skull and brain. He also required stitches on his forehead and he had hypothermia. Polk County had received a phone call from Beenken’s cellphone a short time later. Officers found him north of Townhall Road about 30 yards from the road and he was taken into custody. Officers found a marijuana pipe and 450 grams of marijuana inside the Trade Lake home. During an interview with the boy, he said he lived at the house for 200 days and that his dad beat him up. Officers also interviewed the woman caller who alerted them about the boy. She said that she had smoked marijuana with Beenken earlier that day. The boy was watching TV when she heard him screaming for help. She went downstairs and saw Beenken allegedly pushing the boy’s face into the concrete floor and kneeling over him. The complaint goes on to explain there was a struggle between the woman and Beenken which led to his hands being around her neck. She also said that Beenken said multiple times that he was going to kill them. Online records show Beenken is currently at Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison. Part of his plea states he must show he no longer is a danger to himself or others or society as a whole.
Webster man charged with arson JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
A Webster man has been charged with multiple counts of arson and two domestic violence related charges after allegedly burning items belonging to his girlfriend and her children. James L. Harper, 54, Webster, was charged with three counts of arson of property other than building, one count of disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. According to the criminal complaint, Harper’s girlfriend, Kimberly Sondrall, told authorities in August that Harper had allegedly trashed their house and may have killed her dog. Sondrall said she had gone to her sister’s house when Harper arrived and was yelling at her. He then left and that’s when
she started receiving text messages from Harper late on the night of Aug. 4. The complaint continues to explain Sondrall was receiving text messages from Harper stating he was burning items in the house. She said items burned included her children’s mattresses, her mattress, the kitchen table along with kitchen chairs and books. When officers arrived on the scene they noted springs that appeared to be from a large mattress and beds missing from both bedrooms in the house. At this point Sondrall showed an officer a text to Harper asking about her dog and the officer reported Harper allegedly sent a text message back saying “dead.” Officers then spoke with a man who was fishing with Harper earlier in the day and said
when Harper arrived at Sondrall’s house he “was really drunk.” The man then told police he advised Harper to go to bed after bringing him home that night. He said Harper had sent him a text message saying he was burning “everything.” Officers then saw a picture of a kitchen table and chairs on fire. The arson counts are felony charges and each could result in a maximum $10,000 fine, three and a half years in prison, or both. The disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property are both misdemeanor charges and if found guilty Harper could face a total of $11,000 in fines, approximately a year in prison, or both. Harper’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 2 in front of Judge Melissia Mogen.

Grantsburg School District will see a decrease in state aid this year KAYLA CASEY SENTINEL STAFF
GRANTSBURG––State aid is expected to be down for the upcoming school year for the Grantsburg School District. However, the tax levy and mill rate has increased. Equalization aid will be down $490,825 for the district while talk of the budget was the big talk at the Grantsburg school board annual meeting last week. Joshua Watt, the school’s superintendent, explained that the district’s revenue budget for the year is set by student enrollment. This year, enrollment is down by 25 students. Due to the lower number of enrollments, the amount of equalization aid that the district will receive this year
will be $4,796,930- which is down by $490,825 from the 2017/18 school year. There were other factors that contributed to the decrease in equalization aid from the state as well. The district had no debt service payment, a higher property valuation and had lower expenditures and shared costs per pupil this year. Watt went on to explain that the amount of equalization aid that the district receives determines the tax levy. Other determining factors in the tax levy for the district was an increased property valuation and having no facility debt. For these reasons, the tax levy revenue increased by 26.4 percent. By using the district’s amount of tax levy, $3,519,133 and dividing it by the district’s property value ($434,562,222),
K9 fundraising continues A new coalition of county agencies are working together to battle drugs and protect the community. Sheriff Tracy Finch spoke to the Sentinel about a Drug Endangered Children Alliance (DEC) Alliance that will have departments collaborating to protect children and keep the community safe. “Burnett County is currently forming a Drug Endangered Children (DEC) Alliance,� Finch said. “This will be a collaborative effort between law enforcement, Social Services, the District Attorney, the Department of Corrections, the schools and the community to protect children who are in envi-
ronments where drugs are being used and sold.� Finch also gave an update on the second K9 the county is in the process of securing with fundraising help from the Burnett County Law Enforcement Citizen’s Auxiliary. “K9 Tracker and his handler Mitch Olson are doing an excellent job getting drugs off the street,� Sheriff Finch said. “If we are able to get a second K9, we could have one on during the day and one on at night. The second K9 would be trained like Tracker as a drug detection, tracking and apprehension K9.�

the mill rate is determined. The mill rate is the amount of tax payable per dollar of the assessed value of a property which is used to calculate the amount of property tax. The district’s mill rate this year is 8.098 mills, which has increased from the previous year. Even though it has increased, it is still the third lowest in the district in the last 18 years. One area where the district will see a positive increase is in the revenue limit comparison. Low spending districts in the state will be receiving an increase this year. The Grantsburg School District will be receiving $300 per pupil. All schools receive $175 per pupil, but the low spending districts, including Grantsburg, received an extra $125 per pupil.

DESCRIBE A MENTAL DISORDER THAT AFFECTS TEENS – AGES 13- 18 A poem about anxiety – Waves of Burden Abbee Johnson, Grantsburg High School Intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating and feeling tired may occur. That’s the definition of anxiety that over five million Americans, including myself, deal with every day. I cannot say you’re the reason I hide my feelings because you are just a part of it. I lock my feelings up in a safe even I don’t have the key for.
Everyone wants you to open up to them, you’re supposed to tell them exactly how you feel even though you don’t know yourself. Then they realize that you’re way too much for them to handle. They will tell you they understand what you are feeling. Yet, in the night that you find there’s nothing to live for when anxiety unties your feelings and puts the rope back around your neck. You’re just there suffocating in the dark, they aren’t there to understand what you’re going through. My mom says God will protect me, but where is God at night when anxiety is trying to pick the lock to my safe. My anxiety is the best locksmith I know. I often wonder if God simply doesn’t know what I’m going through… after all, drowning is silent. Today as I look around at all these talented people, my anxiety is shredding my fingernails. Picking, twitching, touching everything. It’s not that I think I’ll do bad, it’s that my anxiety tells me everyone will do better, that if I do my very best, I still will not be good enough. I’m tired. Tired of not having a quiet mind, tired of drowning from the loneliness. The fatigue from life is just so damn exhausting. Everyone tries to put anxiety in a metaphor because no one truly knows how to explain it. The best metaphor I’ve heard only explains one percent of what anxiety consists of. Anxiety is like a wave in the ocean- it has high waves and low waves, but it’s never completely still. For me, wishing for a drought is fatal. Doctors, mothers, humans say all of this will go away with this tiny blue pill, with an ignorant smile, I believe them. But then I remember that I have anxiety.
Borderline Personality Disorder Regan Belisle, Webster High School Borderline Personality Disorder, better known as BPD, is a mental disorder that affects emotion. This disorder affects all ages, but it’s typically found in teens. BPD can intensify emotions and mood. BPD has no cure as far as we know. Treatment for it is being conducted but it does not cure it, it only ‘calms’ it. One treatment is called ‘psychotherapy.’ With this, one learns to cope with their disorder. More specific names for therapy plans are DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Psychodynamic Therapy. A medication one can use as a treatment plan is Topamax. It helps someone from lashing out with BPD. Symptoms of BPD are self-hatred, boredom and feelings of emptiness, easily angered and substance abuse. People with BPD fear of being abandoned and they normally don’t trust people. BPD is known to be hereditary. Though it’s not the main cause of receiving this disorder, it is one of the three. The other two are environmental causes (such as traumatic experiences) and how one’s brain functions (a neurological flaw in a part of the brain). Related conditions are depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD, all being a type of mental disorders. BPD can last a lifetime. Once you have the disorder, you probably won’t grow out of it like you would with other health diseases. When checking for BPD, lab testing such as blood draws are not needed. BPD is not necessarily in DNA. instead, you would speak to a psychiatrist, psychologist or social workers. During a session with one of these specialists listed, you will most likely be asked a

series of questions consisting of emotional regulation, anger management, fear of abandonment and boredom, everything listed in symptoms. Your answers will affect the outcome of whether or not you have Borderline Personality Disorder. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP AND WHY? – AGES 7-12: Anneliese Snyder, 10, Grantsburg Middle School When I grow up, I want to be a special education teacher. I plan to work in the town I grew up in because I have liked helping my friend, which I hope to always grow up with. I want to be a teacher because I have a big enough heart to help children with special needs. I feel that doing this job will help the children succeed in school and give them the love and kindness that they need. Being a special education teacher has been something I always looked for doing as a job. Adalyn Snyder, Age 8, Grantsburg Elementary School What I want to be when I grow up is a school counselor because I want to help kids to feel good and safe in school. I am inspired by Ms. Caitlin because she makes me feel good at school and safe in school. I want to make kids know that I am there for them in any way they may need. If kids need a break, they can take one in my room. I plan to involve parents in my work to see if the parents want me to check in on their children because they might be in a rough time. There will be notes at my door if any student needs to talk to me and I will make sure to talk to them. This is why I want to be a school counselor.

Shrine Women’s Auxiliary marks another successful auction MILT HELMER
The ladies of the Shrine Women’s Auxiliary hosted their annual fundraising auction on Friday Nov. 1 at Ready Randy’s in New Richmond. It was a large crowd of Shriners and their ladies and they did a fine job of bidding on the score donated items gathered for the event. The event brought in over $8,000 for the Shrine Healthcare for Children in the Twin Cities. In her report, Amy Hering of the Auxiliary reported that the group has 600 stockings left over thanks to the generosity of members. Amy also mentioned that pop tops are still being collected. The tops are sold, and the proceeds go to the wheelchair fund. Due to the limited space she is asking that only smaller toys should be donated to the kids. Again, this year Auctioneer Gary Kruger did his usual outstanding job of raising money for the Shrine kids. The Nobles and their ladies collected baked goods, handmade crafts and items donated by the business communities of the St. Croix Valley.
SUBMITTED
Members of the Shrine auxiliary who did an outstanding job were, left to right, Amy Hering, Tammy Keller and Kris Webster.

Four healthy habits that can help keep you sober CALEB ANDERSON AT RECOVERY HOPE
If you’ve recently left rehab, you already know you’ve got a long, hard road ahead of you. But just because there will be bumps along the way doesn’t mean you can’t smooth things out. 1. Go “pro” with your diet. Try to fill your plate with plenty of prebiotic fruits and vegetables, reduce your sugar intake and take a probiotic. Prebiotics are the food the probiotics (good gut bacteria) consume in order to thrive in your gut. Without prebiotics, the good bacteria won’t colonize properly, and that can wreak havoc on your overall health. 2. Rise with the roosters. Early risers are typically more productive and get better sleep. Getting out of bed before the sun comes up gives you an opportunity to exercise, plan your day, and knock a few things off of your to-to list. Getting up an hour earlier than normal can even encourage you to get to bed sooner, which may keep you close to home and out of trouble. 3. Surround yourself with positive people. Happiness is a choice. Make a point to spend time with people who make you feel good about yourself and encourage healthy behaviors. When you’re in recovery, it’s easy to let your past negative actions weigh you down. For example, if you spend time with your old drinking buddies, you are more likely to relapse. But if you use your time wisely by watching a movie with your spouse, playing with your kids, or volunteering, you give yourself purpose—which can lead to feelings of happiness and help you avoid negative situations. 4. Get organized. Finally, organize your home and your schedule in a way that helps you destress. Stress is a major trigger and one that will have you leaning toward relapse over recovery. This is certainly not a full list of everything that will aid in your recovery. But paying attention to your gut, getting up early, sticking close to positive influences, and staying organized are a few simple things you can do to help maintain your sobriety. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org.

We welcomed over 55 trick or treat characters downtown Halloween afternoon. We loved all the wonderful costumes that the children and adults surprised us with. Many of us also had even more later in the evening. Our home had over 150. Now we enter the 11th month of the year. The cooler temps nipping our noses tell us that inches of white fluff (what’s that word - snow) will be on doorsteps soon. I mowed my lawn on Wednesday for the last time this season. Later had a chat with our foster daughter in Colorado. She shared a pic of her husband shoveling snow. I sent her one that the husband took that afternoon of me mowing (in a sleeveless shirt and capris). Then
I heard later that evening from her sister, who lives in Green Bay and guess what she was dealing withshoveling too! I was truly smiling from ear to ear, enjoying my green grass! We truly appreciated the nice weather we had over the weekend. Hope you made the most of the beautiful days. And it was an awesome evening for sunset viewing!

Deep swamp bow hunt
News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS
Hello friends, Hunting whitetail deer with a bow and arrow has never been one of my strong points. A little over a year ago I made the decision that I was going to find a large piece of public land that was not overrun with wolves and get better at this awesome sport. Last fall I learned about and explored The Tiffany Bottoms which is an incredible piece of public property that has the Chippewa river running through the heart of it in both Pepin and Buffalo counties. I had problems back there last year with getting iced out but have been looking forward to returning ever since!
Wednesday, Oct. 23 High 54, low 27 A canoe, hip boots, camping gear, tree stand’s and my compound bow were all required equipment for every part of this trip. As I have mentioned numerous times, Wisconsin’s water table is rising and once again I saw that today as the piece of land I would be living on is becoming smaller and very waterlogged. My campsite is a solid canoe trip, I hunt about ¾’s of a mile by canoe from camp. All foot travel requires hip boots. The location I hunt is a natural funnel that has been created by beaver, water and ease of travel. It is high ground separating two forests and the only high ground was caused by a beaver dam. The water in this area is a good 6 inches higher than it was a year ago. As an example, the tree that I am hunting has 6 inches of water at its base, there is zero dry land to place anything that cannot get wet. Tonight, was hunt number one. I have a doe tag; I want a doe as much as I want a buck. Because there is so much water, there is a rapid going over the beaver dam which is my constant background noise. At this place you cannot see the deer until they are in bow range due to dense tag alders. I thought I heard footsteps

in the water and that was confirmed when a large doe got by me before I saw her. Thursday, Oct. 24 High 56, low 25 The canoe trip to my stand is in the dark for my morning hunts and I am constantly under attack from beaver, it is hilarious and could make some people fill their undershorts. I cannot see the beaver; they are swimming and let me get about 20-feet from them before they splash their tail in warning as hard as they can to warn other beavers. This morning’s hunt was really cool. I waited until 7:15 to do my first grunt of the season and a doe came out of nowhere. At 7:22 I repeated the process and a beautiful
buck, maybe 17-inch, 8-10 point comes by at 32-yards with no warning and no time for a shot. On my afternoon hunt I had a five pointer by me for an hour looking for a doe in heat. The five pointer would be much better eating than the big buck and I eat a lot of venison. On the canoe trip back to camp I was attacked by every beaver on the Chippewa and lived to tell about it. Friday, Oct. 25 High 51, low 24 My water jug froze last night. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, while canoeing back to camp yesterday a bull canvasback flew over me and I dropped it as I keep a shotgun in my canoe. This bird is a
dandy, best I’ve ever got, and he is going on my wall. This morning while canoeing in the dark I got lost four times in a very narrow channel and every time I had to lift my canoe up to turn it around. At the stand, the five-pointer is pushing his luck as he came within 10-yards of me. At 7:22 the big guy came by at 32-yards and I just about let fly but did not have enough time for an ethical shot. When I got down from my stand, I checked my trail cameras and had pictures of two true brutes taken after dark. I had to leave camp today for a day as I had a family deal, with super cold weather coming, and with ice and all these deer experiences my life will not be boring. If I come up missing, look in the beaver lodge for my remains! Sunset.

Kitty is a black and white beauty who has had a string of bad luck. First, surrendered due to allergies, then returned due to housemate issues. With striking yellow eyes, this four-year-old is friendly and loving. Kitty enjoys people and attention and p gets along well with her g ffriends in the community rroom. Her adoption fee is ssponsored to help Kitty find a purr-fect home. In addition to Kitty, tthere are several cats w with sponsored adoption ffees: MJ, Blue, Pumpkin, P Patch, and Grace. HSB BC’s long-timer, Grace, Kitty has been waiting eight months for a family. Her resting grump face might put people off, but looks are deceiving. Grace loves people and gets along well with her community room companions. When thinking of adding a new feline friend to a home with a resident cat, there are things to consider. It is best to choose a cat that matches the qualities of your current cat - whether rambunctious, laid back, or curious – to maximize acceptance. If your cat becomes aggressive when she sees other cats outside your home, chances are it may be challenging to bring a new cat into your home. When bringing a new cat home, take the introductions slowly. Confine your new kitty for a few days, allowing the cats to smell each Grace other under the door. Give them lots of tasty treats only while they are near each other and showing no signs of hissing or growling. You don’t want to reward aggressive behavior by treating a cat that hisses. Once no hissing, spitting, growling, or other signs of aggression occur, open the door to the room and place a see-through baby gate at the door. If the cats remain calm, you can let your new kitty interact with your resident one. You may wish to separate the cats at first when you are not around to supervise them until you feel they are getting along. Most cats will take eight to twelve months to develop a friendship with a new cat. Even if they don’t become BFFs, some cats can coexist peacefully with their feline housemates.

Meyer and Gerber have strong showing at State finals SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Will Gerber concluded his sophomore season for the Grantsburg boys cross country team with a top-50 finish in the WIAA Division 3 state final on Saturday. While Ayla Meyer was one of several freshmen making their first appearance in the WIAA Division 3 girls state final on Saturday. Meyer gave reason for the Pirates to look forward to future seasons for the Pirates, the state results showed the going still could be difficult in state finals to come. Meyer finished 83rd in 21 minutes, 50.1 seconds and though she finished ahead of 16 fellow freshmen in the event, another 20 freshmen finished ahead of Meyer. Sophomore Abby Bartel of Weyauwega-Fremont won the Division 3 race in 18:52.9 and was the lone runner to finish in under 19 minutes while freshman Samantha Herrling of Wisconsin Heights-Barneveld was runner-up in 19:09.2. Each of the first eight finishers were either freshmen or sophomores; just six top-20 spots were earned by juniors or seniors. Lourdes Academy won the team title with 112 points ahead of Gillett (126) and Auburndale (128). Meyer was less than 45 seconds from a top-50 finish, though she greatly improved her position from the start. She completed the first mile in 6:48 and was

114th, but she gained 17 spots over the next mile and continued climbing down the stretch. She missed matching her season-best time by eight seconds. “Ayla was able to make that trip to state to get that knowledge and she will bring that to the team and help motivate and drive the girls in her age group, along with the younger freshmen coming in,” Grantsburg coach Lisa McKinley said. “We will have a
very young team next year.” The Pirates lose seniors Belle Quimby, Hope McKinley and Savanna Trittelwitz from this year’s team, but return fellow freshmen Cassidy Troff, Tristin Kreuser-Peterson and Alex Kammeyer. They also return sophomore Alexis Slater, who had a top-25 finish in the sectional. Gerber – the Pirates’ lone state qualifier – completed the course at The
Ridges Golf Course in 17 minutes, 26.3 seconds to place 39th. He was about 80 seconds off the pace set by Wisconsin Heights-Barneveld’s Christian Patzka, who won the event in 16:08.7 and with a six-second cushion over runner-up Matthew Marcinske (16:14.5) of Birchwood. Gerber was the 5th-highest finishing sophomore in the Division 3 final; he was less than 13 seconds from a top-25 finish. While he missed a season-best time by just four seconds, Gerber did improve upon his state-final time from last year by 10 seconds. He has two more seasons of eligibility to better that time and fellow sophomores working to join him at the state final. “Gerber will be back and bring his racing knowledge and experience into the season,” Grantsburg coach Lisa McKinley said. “The team had a solid base of sophomores this season with Brody Bongaarts, Jordan Janes and Mason Arnold who will continue to be a force and help the team compete well in our conference.” “Owen Rathje and Donevan Benson – this season’s freshmen – gained valuable racing experience and I look forward to their improvement and contribution in years ahead.” The Pirates lose just one runner from this team – senior Connor DeTienne. Aquinas won the boys team state title with 68 points, followed by Brillion (96) and Kohler (119).
Pirates fall short at sectionals SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
LA CROSSE – The Grantsburg volleyball team had good reason to feel good about its match on Saturday. The Pirates won their regional and defeated St. Croix Falls in their sectional opener on Thursday after twice losing to the Saints during the regular season. They entered Saturday’s sectional final with a five-match win streak and a win over Aquinas meant a trip to Green Bay for the WIAA Division 3 state finals. But they were stopped shy of packing their bags for the cross-state venture. The Blugolds, who entered the sectional final with a 10-match win streak and had lost just three matches all season, earned 25-20 and 25-21 wins in the first two sets, then halted a potential comeback by answering the Pirates’ 25-20 win in the third set with a 25-23 win in the fourth to earn a trip to Green Bay. The loss ended Grantsburg’s season with a 30-6 overall record. Hanne Johnson led the Pirates with 26 assists, 15 digs and 15 kills; Raisa
Jensen had 30 digs; Ellie Duncan had 13 assists and Emma Quimby had 12 digs with four kills. In their match against St. Croix Falls, the Pirates got the 2-0 lead though the Saints answered both set wins. Grantsburg won the opening set 25-17 and then needed extra play to win the second, 2624. But the comeback by St. Croix Falls provided reason to worry. “I thought we might be able to do it in three, but as I’ve said to many people this season – St. Croix Falls is very tough to beat in five sets,” Grantsburg coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “We were able to take the first two sets from them, but not many can outlast them in five.” The Pirates held late leads in both the third and fourth sets, but the Saints rallied to win the third set 25-23 and the fourth 26-24 to force a tiebreaker fifth set. A slight adjustment by the Pirates helped get a 15-8 win to close the match. “The difference for the fifth set was an early lead and a slightly-changed lineup that moved a taller blocker opposite of (St. Croix Falls’) Sidney

Tigers reflect on playoff season SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WEBSTER – The stride toward a fast start later became a bit of a hobble. After winning the first three games of the 2019 season, the Webster football team’s sprint was slowed by injuries and formidable opposition. But the challenges didn’t prevent the Tigers from a playoff berth, though they did hinder their playoff positioning and ability to advance. “We felt we had the talent to be a level three (playoff) football team and if we didn’t end up with the eight seed to start the playoffs, we may have been closer,” Webster coach Andy Smith said. “Sitting with a 4-4 record, at worst we should have been the seven seed; I felt like we were the five (seed).” With a 3-0 record through three games, the Tigers seemed on their way to a higher postseason seed, but they didn’t reach the midseason point before the starting lineup underwent weekly changes. Even worse for the Tigers, those included multiple changes at quarterback. Austin Sigfrids started the season at quarterback but was lost for the season after breaking his ankle in the third game and Mason Gustafson assumed the role. Yet, his time at quarterback was cut short by a broken collarbone, forcing Webster to rely on a third option for more than half

the season. That was Coleton Peterson, who was 23-for-78 for 204 yards and a touchdown, though he is among the senior class moving on before the 2020 season. “Losing our first- and second-string quarterbacks changed who we were offensively,” Smith said. “We had to do things differently, but I felt we were in every football game.” Sigfrids – a sophomore – went 22-for-51 in his three games at quarterback, throwing for 303
yards and three touchdowns. Gustafson – a junior – attempted just five passes, completing two, before his injury. Fortunately for the Tigers, Smith said both players have recovered and have seasons of eligibility remaining. However, the rest of the backfield will get a shuffle in the offseason. The team’s leading rusher – Nathan Stadler – totaled 724 yards and eight touchdowns on 144 carries in his senior season. Keith Glienke – fourth on the team with 219 yards
rushing and a touchdown – also played his final game for the team. Glienke also led the team with 55 tackles, meanwhile Peterson ranked second on the team with 334 yards rushing and two touchdowns, along with leading the team with 10 catches and 132 yards receiving. But the crew blocking for those backs, as well as manning the defensive front, will have the most turnover. Harlo Olson, Dalton McCarthy, Jacob Berg, Dusty Miller, James
Magnuson and Ethan Score were seniors playing the line on both sides. Smith was encouraged by some of the underclassmen forced to play a larger role due to the lineup changes, who he hopes will have a full season with a more constant cast around them. “We had quite a few sophomore kids step up and we needed it,” he said. “We were down 10 starting positions at the end of the season and there are lots of holes to fill for next season.” Xavier Stanton, Tanner Peterson and Tallon Parent are among those whose departure will create spots to fill for Webster in 2020. But in addition to their quarterbacks, the Tigers also could return contributors on both sides of the ball. C.J. Abbas – a sophomore – was third on the team with 220 yards rushing and a touchdown; fellow sophomore Gage Rossow was second on the team with seven receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown. Another sophomore – Evan Sikorski – was second on the team with 41 tackles. “We won’t have as much talent as we did this season, but we’re hoping to have kids who’ll dedicate themselves to the team and make-up the difference,” Smith said. The Tigers finished 2019 with a 4-5 overall record and were fifth in the Lakeland Conference with a 3-4 record.
Gordon scores twice as Chargers dominate Packers 26-11 JOE REEDY AP SPORTS WRITER
CARSON, Calif. –– Just when the Los Angeles Chargers' season looked lost, they put together their best game of the year against one of the league's top teams. Melvin Gordon scored two touchdowns and the defense held Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers to one of his worst outings as the Chargers dominated the Packers Sunday, winning 26-11. “For whatever reason we do better when it's a little bit ‘the Chargers don't have a chance.’ I don't know why. I don't think anyone gave us a chance in this one,'' said Philip Rivers, who got his first win over Green Bay. “I wish we did better when everyone thought we were really good like the beginning of the season. All three phases did a heck of a job.” Green Bay came in as the second-best team in the NFC but had its four-game winning streak snapped to fall to 7-2. “This was a good slice of humble pie for us. We're kind of rolling, 7-1, and starting to listen to the chatter maybe a little too much,” said Rodgers, who threw for 161 yards, his fifth-lowest total when he plays all four quarters. For the first time this year, the Chargers (4-5) looked like a team that won 12 games and made the playoffs last season. The offense was balanced and moved the ball consistently in Shane Ste-
ichen's first game as coordinator, and the defense kept Aaron Rodgers and the Packers out of the end zone until midway through the fourth quarter. Michael Badgley kicked four field goals in his first game back from injury. Steichen, who was promoted after Ken Whisenhunt was fired last Monday, called a good game as the Chargers held the ball for nearly 36 minutes and averaged 6.5 yards per play. Los Angeles didn't have a three-and-out on any of its nine possessions and only had to punt once. The running game, which had been held under 40 yards in four straight games, had a season-high 159 yards. Gordon, who came in averaging only 2.5 yards per carry, had 80 yards on 20 carries and Austin Ekeler added 12 carries for 70 yards. “We established the run and committed to it. It was giving them enough opportunities,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said. “Shane did an outstanding job. I thought he was aggressive when he needed to be. He prepared well all week and the players have confidence in him. Everyone stepped up and did what they had to do.” Most of Gordon's carries came in the second half, including a pair of 1-yard TDs off left guard in the third and fourth quarters. He also had the play of the game when he hurdled over Green Bay defensive back Chandon Sullivan during a 16-yard gain in the third quarter.
“I was finally in a groove,” Gordon said. “We got a chance to actually try to seal the game with the run, so I was definitely excited about that.” Rivers completed 21 of 28 passes for 294 yards, and Mike Williams had the first 100-yard receiving day in his three-year career with three receptions for 111 yards. Defensively, the Chargers pressured Rodgers all day with minimal blitzing and sacked him three times. Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram each had 11/2 sacks. Bosa has 51/2 sacks in his past three games. “A lot of four-man rushes, and they got after us a little bit up front. We've got to get back to protecting and throwing the ball out in time and being accurate,” said Rodgers, who completed 23 of 35 passes. Rodgers got most of his yards in the final 15 minutes after he was held to a career-low 61 yards through three quarters. He found a wide-open Jamaal Williams for a 10-yard touchdown with 6:21 remaining and then ran it in for the 2-point conversion. Packers running back Aaron Jones came in averaging 137.8 scrimmage yards in his past four games but was held to 29 yards (30 rushing, minus-1 receiving). Davante Adams had seven receptions for 41 yards after missing the last four games because of turf toe. Los Angeles dominated the first half on both sides of the ball but could not get into the end zone as Badgley
supplied all the points with field goals from 29, 40 and 34 yards. The Chargers gained 250 yards in the first half and had a pair of scoring drives that started inside their 10. They gave up only 50 yards defensively, the first time since 2011 they had allowed that few in the first half. It was only the third time under Rodgers - and first time since 2013 - that the Packers have had 50 yards or fewer in the first half. “Really when you look at it, at the half we were pretty fortunate to only be down 9-0,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “Our defense did a good job of keeping the Chargers out of the end zone. Offensively, there was no rhythm whatsoever.” LONG TIME COMING The Chargers beat the Packers for the second time in 12 meetings and the first time since 1984. INJURIES Chargers: OT Sam Tevi and LB Denzel Perryman both suffered knee injuries and did not return. Badgley kicked for the first time since the preseason after missing eight games with a groin injury. UP NEXT Packers: Host Carolina next Sunday. Green Bay is 4-1 at home.

For the month of November, artZ Gallery proudly presents three area artists SHARYL MANWILLER Sharyl is from Amery. Recently, her paintings have been inspired by world affairs and the environmental impacts of humans on our planet. “The severe weather affecting our home landscape has brought sadness and thoughtfulness to my heart. With the loss of many trees in recent strong winds, I grieve the destruction of very old friends in the woods - maples, oaks and pines. I love trees, flowers and all the natural beauty found in my surroundings, the woods and lakes of Wisconsin. The sounds of Loons, Swans, Canadian geese and Sand Hill Cranes nearby speak to me of the mystery of life. My heart is lifted by the lovely birds we hear and observe at our bird feeder on Summer days. What a beautiful world we share with these life forms. It is challenging to bring that beauty to paper or canvas using shapes, values, lines and color. Drawing and painting what I see and how I feel about what I see helps me to balance my busy life. My desire is to calm, comfort and delight those who look at my work.” shman@amerytel.net.
JAN KILLIAN Jan is a self-taught artist who has always been strongly attracted to color. Her love of nature and photography are the foundation for her paintings, with a twist of imagination to bring about the whimsy in her art. Her mediums of choice are alcohol ink, watercolor and acrylic ink/paint. Jan paints on a variety of non-porous surfaces which bring out the vibrant colors that she loves. Jan’s art is published in the book, “Pigments of Your Imagination,” and has been in several magazines, featured in solo art shows and will be on the television show Wisconsin Life this fall. She has shown in juried art shows for the last eight years in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Now she has her artwork in several shops and galleries and is enjoying teaching at her home studio/gallery. Jan’s first love has always been animals/birds. She worked as a certified veterinary technician, owned the Bed & Biscuit Boarding Kennel, was office manager at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, showed in obedience trials with her Golden Retrievers and was a foster/training home to many rescue animals. She now enjoys life in Cumberland, with her husband Barry, two rescue dogs, four rescue cats, house rabbit and four birds while painting full time and teaching. www. woolyfrogarts.com.
WIN HERBERG Win’s pottery is high-fire, decorative and/or functional stoneware. Most of her pieces are handbuilt or sculptural or a combination of both. She has carried her interest in pottery through high school, college, and community education classes before and during her 31 years of teaching junior high school. Now she lives and works in Osceola. In retirement, making pottery is more than a pastime. As she states, “Making pottery is an exciting journey, an exploration of new shapes, patterns and techniques.” Her new work evolves from aspects of previous pieces, and each piece requires at least ten to twelve separate steps to complete. She strives for simplicity inspired by the natural world. “I like to build shapes that can’t be easily produced on the wheel, and when I go into the studio, I don’t often know what I will be working on or what shape my pieces will take. For me, creating pottery is a process of trial and error, success and failure, and I have learned much from my mistakes.” Win is a member of artZ Gallery in Amery. Her work is also available at 110 Gallery in Frederic the Information Center in St. Croix Falls and The Art Preserve in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. winterboo27@gmail.com.

“Souper” way to use up leftovers My main household duties for the last three decades were chief grocery shopper, chef, and “magician of all things food.” Well, that ended abruptly. Our kids have flown the nest and it’s just my husband and me. Apparently, we don’t eat very much. I’m relearning how to cook, shop for two, and being an empty nester. In my opinion, it’s easier cooking Wild Chow for an army of hungry Lisa Erickson boys. Plus, my clean-up crew is gone. Two things stand out when cooking for two. Most recipes serve four or more and leftovers are my new reality. We can either eat leftovers as they are or create something new with them. I don’t know if you’re like me, but eating leftovers is hit or miss. Some things taste great reheated like lasagna or spaghetti. But then there are those things that taste weird like cooked chicken. Most cooked meats taste better combined with something else. This recipe is perfect with fresh ingredients or leftovers. I’ve cooked it both ways and it’s “souper” either way.
Chicken and Rice Soup Serves 2 2 Tbsp. butter 1 small onion, chopped 1 rib celery, sliced 1 carrot, coarsely chopped (cooked or raw) 1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh garlic 2 Tbsp. flour 5-6 cups chicken broth Pinch of smoked paprika 3/4 cup cooked rice 1 cup deli rotisserie chicken, shredded 1 Tbsp. parsley, chopped Fresh lemon juice to taste Salt and pepper to taste In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter until sizzling. Add onion, celery, carrots; continue cooking 3-5 minutes until onions are softened. Add garlic; cook for 30-60 seconds. Add the flour and stir to coat. Slowly add the chicken broth (about 5 cups) while whisking and bring soup to a slow simmer. Add the paprika. Continue simmering for 10 minutes until carrots are tender (skip this step if your carrots are already cooked). Stir in cooked rice, chicken, and parsley. Add more broth if the soup is too thick. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon to taste and serve.

Wisconsin GOP leader Vos says climate change ‘probably’ real SCOTT BAUER ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON— The Republican leader of the Wisconsin Assembly said Wednesday that climate change is “probably” real, but that he’s not sure. There is nearly universal consensus among scientists and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that global warming is real and man-made. In addition to questioning whether global warming is happening, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos also denigrated a climate change task force created by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers earlier this month. Vos told WisconsinEye that he believes it was created for political purposes. And he said that if the goal of the group is to “make people on the left feel better about themselves, that’s a nonstarter.” Evers asked the task force to develop strategies to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change in Wisconsin, which he called a “grave threat to the health, safety, and economic well-being of people and
communities.” The task force includes Republican and Democratic members of the Legislature and representatives of a broad cross section of the state’s agriculture, energy, business, health, education and environmental interests. When he created the group, Evers said that science showing that the Earth’s climate is increasing more rapidly than ever due primarily to human activity has been ignored for too long and “we can’t afford to do it any longer.” But Vos said there was no reason to create the group. “There’s no doubt in my mind that Gov. Evers did this for political reasons,” Vos told WisconsinEye. “There’s no real task for the task force. Like, what’s your ultimate goal? I would say I don’t know if climate change is real. I think it probably is. I have no idea why it is occurring nor do most people on the planet.” Evers cited the problems caused by increasing extreme weather events and threats to the state’s economy, particularly Wisconsin’s multi-billion dollar dairy and agriculture industries,
as reasons to form the group. He told the task force to assess the best available research, review actions already being taken to address climate change, work with the higher education and business communities to foster innovative research, and make recommendations by September 2020 for legal changes that would foster a “clean energy economy.” Vos said he could be supportive of proposals from the task force if they include increasing the use of nuclear power and not raising utility rates. “For anybody who believes that we’re going to solve climate change by just building more windmills and putting solar cells everywhere, we still need to have power at night and there’s no battery technology that can store enough right now,” Vos said. Evers’ spokeswoman, Melissa Baldauff, had no immediate comment. Assembly Democratic Leader Gordon Hintz, who was interviewed alongside Vos, said there was an urgency to come up with a plan to address how climate change is affecting Wisconsin and to get the public on board.
EARLY DEADLINE The deadline for the November 27 issue will be Friday, November 22 at noon. The Sentinel office will be closed Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29 for Thanksgiving. Thank you!

Volunteer bell ringers needed The Red Kettle Campaign is the most important fundraiser for The Salvation Army in Burnett County. Bells begin ringing November 15 and will continue through December 31. Volunteers for the fundraising campaign have been decreasing each year and with the need for assistance at an all-time high, volunteers are needed now more than ever. A typical bell ringing shift lasts two hours but some organizations, civic groups and churches commit to taking a day or two and filling the day with their members. Angela Moulton, Fundraising Manager for The Salvation Army in Burnett County said, “The amount of volunteers for The Red Kettle Campaign seems to be declining. The Holidays are a busy time for everyone but giving just a couple of hours really does make a big impact.” Faith House Shelter, The Backpack Program that feeds hungry kids, utility assistance and disaster relief are just some of the major ways the Burnett County Salvation Army is serving Burnett County. Volunteer Bell Ringers can sign up at www.registertoring.com or by calling 715-497-4438. If individuals are unable to ring, they can send donations directly to: Burnett County Salvation Army 7764 W. Main Street Siren, WI 54872. Moulton said, “Consider giving your time to help people in need. Two hours really does change a person’s life.” If you would like more information on how the Salvation Army is working in your community, visit them on Facebook at Burnett County Salvation Army or log on to their website at www. safaithhouse.org.

Herzl Camp is a non-profit summer camp for 700+ campers from across the US and beyond. A traditional overnight summer camp, Herzl offers both land and aquatic activities. Over the past 5 years, Herzl Camp has needed to invest money into fixing and replacing docks and boardwalks as a result of ice damage. The water levels have continued to rise and due to the direction of the ice heave at the end of winter, the shoreline and docks have continued to take damage. This past year, Herzl replaced waterfront amenities with newer docks, shore protection, boardwalks, etc. The camp is applying for a Miscellaneous Structure Permit to install an aeration system to help alleviate ice damage to these new shoreline structures. The Department will review the proposal provided by the applicant and any information from public comments and a public informational hearing, if requested.

What’s your wilderness?
Pastor Paul Peterson
What’s your wilderness? In the Bible the wilderness is a place where people encounter God. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Elijah and Jesus all had wilderness experiences which defined who they were and what God was calling them to do. God calls us into our wilderness so that we may encounter Him. Maybe your wilderness is found by looking into your soul as you lament difficult and emotional issues or found through prayer and meditation, taking a trip with a friend to contemplate life’s meaning, or maybe it’s an actual wilderness with lakes, woods, mountains or deserts. Whatever and
wherever your wilderness is, we see in the scriptures a pattern that helps us encounter God: A willingness to go into the wilderness, the “encounter” and a willingness to let the experience change us. If we don’t venture into the wilderness we’ll have a hard time encountering God. It might be scary to be in the wilderness, especially if we find ourselves there alone and vulnerable, but often that’s what it takes to have a wilderness experience. After this, we need eyes to see and hearts to believe that our encounter with God really, truly, was an encounter with God. We are bombarded with so many skeptical and negative mes-

sages from the world that try to convince us that it wasn’t God, couldn’t be God and wouldn’t be God - don’t listen to them! Finally we need to discern the take away. Through this encounter with God, what is God’s will for us? What is He calling us to do and who are we to be in His name? Not all wilderness encounters have burning bushes, visions or angels attending, but they all have the presence of God which leads us forth in His most glorious name.
