On a recent Friday afternoon, Grantsburg fourth graders learned to play the challenging game of chess in less than an hour. A new tool helped bring the ancient game to life for the 10-yearolds. The trick to engaging them was an oversized set called “Mega-Chess.” Its 24-36" pieces and 8x8-foot game board are big enough that kids can walk among the pieces. The whole class got involved. For the learning session, the game was set on the tiled floor in the Middle School commons. On nice days, the all-weather set will go outdoors for games on sand, grass or concrete, perhaps even snow. Krista Kielty volunteered her 24 fourth graders as the first class to play Mega- Chess. Earlier, she prepared her students by discussing the game’s 1,500-year history, its rules of play, and by showing a video of other elementary-age students playing chess. John Hunt of Grantsburg has volunteered as the Grantsburg

World War I. Higley, a chemical engineer, walked out of private employment and entered service in the greatest conflict the world had known. He served in France, and for the rest of his life, one of his greatest concerns was

caring for his fellow veterans. He served as secretary of veteran’s affairs under President Dwight Eisenhower, and among Higley’s lasting achievements was es-tablishing Veterans Day as a national holiday. Higley believed that the

A Frederic man is headed to California in hopes of winning a National Championship. The race is next weekend as part of the NHRA (National Hod Rod Association) Summit Racing Series National Championship. Steve Roehrs was able to out-

perform over 100 other drivers to punch his ticket to race in Po-mona, Calif. for a national title. He races in the Pro class in his 1982 Camaro. In Sept. Roehrs took his Camaro to Topeka, Kan. for the fifth division qualifying race. The Pro class has seven division qualifiers and a wildcard qualifier. Sunday, Nov. 17 is race day

and Roehrs is confident after his Topeka victory and hopes to bring home a national title. Each national champion will receive $5,000, an NHRA Gold Card, a champions trophy, and a jacket. All qualifiers who attend the Pomona race are guaranteed to receive a minimum of $3,000.

Ansul Chemical, a Marinette firm that manufactures fire extin-guishers. He served as the company’s president from 1938 to 1948. A lifelong Republican, Higley rose to national prominence with Eisenhower’s election as president in 1952. From 1953

to 1957, Higley served in the cabinet, guiding policy during the period when the country had more veterans than at any other time: after both World War II and the Korean War. Higley considered it his mission to protect the rights of those veterans — for their good and for the good of America. He was especially determined

to see that they received benefits in education. “The GI Bill has been of inestimable value to a very large number of vet-erans,” he said, “and this country has gained materially due to the GI Bill of Rights.” Eisenhower was impressed with Higley’s efforts to stand up for the rights of African American veterans. “I great-

Library Chess Club instructor and leader for six years. The club meets after school on Wednesdays from January to March at the library. The club attracts both public school and home school participants. Parents and other adults are mentors and players. Hunt pitched the Mega-Chess idea to the Friends of Grantsburg Library as a faster way to learn, and the Friends purchased it for the library. Hunt’s theory proved true in the first outing. He spent the first half hour explaining the pieces and their moves, how to capture pieces and win the game. The students then divided into two teams of 12 and pooled their knowledge to play one game of chess involving the entire class. Steve Briggs of Grantsburg assisted Hunt to transport the equipment and teach chess. Briggs leads a chess club at the Frederic Public Library. It meets at 3:30 p.m. on Thursdays. “I was impressed at how quickly John could teach the game and how excited the kids were,” Briggs said. “At the end of play, someone asked how many liked chess, and every student’s hand shot up.” Hunt hopes to take the large chess set to other grades at Grantsburg schools and also to area schools who invite him. A retired 3M engineer, Hunt learned chess as a youth and played in his high school’s club. “In many states including Wisconsin, chess is a school-sanctioned activity,” Hunt said. “I firmly believe chess improves concentration, strategy and decision-making,” he added. “Studies show playing chess raises a child’s IQ. It also teaches etiquette and how to be a gracious winner or loser. Games begin and end with a handshake.”

MADISON— A new report says expanded online sales tax collection will result in $77.4 million in lost income tax revenue for the state. A 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision expanded states’ authority to require online sellers to collect and remit sales and use taxes on products delivered to Wisconsin. State law requires the additional revenue to cover reductions in the two lowest income tax brackets. The Legislative Audit Bureau released a report Friday that found the state Department of Revenue estimates online vendors will re-mit $79.2 million for the year ending Sept. 30, 2019. DOR deter-mined that translates to income tax rate cuts from 4% to 3.86% and from 5.21% to 5.04%, which will reduce income tax revenue by $77.4 million. The audit bureau determined that DOR’s estimates appear reasona-ble.

Fourth graders playing the black pieces work together to determine their next Mega Chess move.

Mrs. Kielty said her students are so enthused that she plans to add one or more standard, tabletop chess sets to her classroom. Both Grantsburg and Frederic Library chess clubs are free and open to all students.

Other schools and groups that would like to play chess on the mega set are invited to contact Grantsburg Public Library to make arrangements. There is no charge for the activity, but the library welcomes donations.

Not bitter at all

egative 5 degrees Fahrenheit. That is the temperature it was according to a gentleman I spoke to at the gas station Tuesday morning. It makes sense on Monday night it felt like we were in the middle of January. The snow has flown and the ground is frozen. It’s winter in Wisconsin people. It’s already here. And for me that means TV season. Anybody out there like combat sports? The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) or MMA (mixed martial arts) are basically sports where two adults beat the living crap out of each other. I was not a fan of it until Jorge Masvidal had the fastest knockout in the sport. Masvidal hit Ben Askren with a flying knee and he was out cold about six seconds after the opening bell rang. Askren graduated from Arrowhead High Sentinel School which is my neck of the woods in the southeast pocket of Editor Wisconsin. Jonathan Richie A little backstory on Arrowhead High School. It’s in Hartland, WI and we were raised to believe that’s where a lot of money was. Hartland is allegedly where all the bigwig lawyers, surgeons and hedge fund managers live. They had a field house before anybody else and their student parking lot looked like a used luxury call lot that didn’t take any vehicle over a year old. Our middle school wrestling team had to go to Arrowhead once for a match. I was never going to be a state champ but I was pretty good. Also, I was in peak physical form for eighth grade, so I was fairly confident in my abilities. I had a match that evening so I’m getting in the mood listening to heavy metal, which I only listened to when thinking I need to bash some heads in. Anyway, the match did not go well. I was wrestling but my opponent was playing football. So, he bull rushed me out of the ring three times and every time I slammed against the hard basketball floor. I should have won by disqualification, but the ref was an idiot. Doctors have told me my back/hip problems most likely originate from this event, so, if anyone from Hartland or Arrowhead is reading this – kick rocks. What I am trying to say is, when someone from Arrowhead High School loses, I win. Although, every year they have a fundraiser for their special education department where they serve steak and lobster. (That’s right the richest school in the area has a fundraiser, that is incredibly helpful to the students, that serves lobster.) Back to combat sports, I enjoy them and I know I will never ever want to step into the octagon. Although, as a kid I always thought it would be cool to do battle in a steel cage death match. It just seems to be the best way to settle a dispute and is much more satisfying than a duel like gentleman used to have in the olden days.

A comeback for cursive?

or those who remember spending hours in classrooms working on the flourish of your letter “l” and getting the curve of the lower case “g” just right, a trend in recent legislation may make your efforts relevant once again. Lawmakers in Wisconsin and several other states are introducing legislation requiring the teaching of cursive writing. Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt, R-Fond du Lac, chair of the Assembly’s Education Committee, has introduced legislation that would require schools to incorporate cursive in elementary curriculums with the goal of having students write legibly in cursive by From the Publisher’s the end of fifth grade. Thiesfeldt said in an interview with Desk the Wisconsin State Journal that research suggests taking notes by Tom Stangl hand, as opposed to typing, can lead to b h better comprehension and understanding of material, and cursive has long been billed as a faster method of note-taking compared to print handwriting. The use of cursive also requires a higher level of hand-eye coordination, which can be particularly helpful for younger children, he said. “It’s not just a nostalgic sort of skill that we want to maintain it just because people used to do it,” said Thiesfeldt, adding he’s had staffers in his office that have had difficulties reading his notes written in cursive. I’m sure many of us who toiled on our penmanship have mixed emotions about the return of “writing” to the basics of “reading, writing and arithmetic.” My penmanship is horrible, I went to printing years ago and have some issues reading what I have written later. But I understand why handwriting is important, and I think the thought process behind this bill is spot on.

Even though I may struggle deciphering what I have written, it is fairly easy for my mind to recall what I was doing when I wrote the notes. I do believe it helps to write things down and not rely on technology to capture everything for you. I think this is true for no other reason than saving time. When I go to transcribe a taped interview, I double the time spent on the story. It is good to have a recording to refer to for accurate quotes, but handwritten notes get the job done. Then there’s the issue of people who weren’t taught handwriting having to sign their names for legal documents. What an unnecessary nightmare for everyone! Wisconsin education officials estimate public and charter schools would have to spend between $1.7 million to $5.95 million on student materials annually and between $250,000 and $1.6 million on teacher training in at least the first year of the requirement. As for determining whether a Wisconsin child can write legibly in cursive by the fifth grade, it would likely be up to the subjectivity of teachers, said Thiesfeldt, a former teacher who used to grade students on their handwriting abilities. I know that this mandate will increase costs to schools. I hope that the legislature does the responsible thing and give additional funds along with the mandate so other items aren’t cut so children can have legible handwriting. This is something that should have never left classrooms. I struggled for years with adopting a capital “T” that I was comfortable with. I hope the young writers get comfortable with their signatures. It’s important. As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

The ﬁght for mental health facility in Northwest Wisconsin continues REP. GAE MAGNAFICI

This past summer, the Wisconsin legislature passed the state’s biennial budget. The budget included $15 million for a regional mental health facility in Chippewa Falls. This facility would have an estimated savings of $38,000 for Burnett County, $105,000 for Polk County, and $196,000 for St. Croix County. Unfortunately, Governor Evers vetoed this facility out of the budget and instead redirected the money to Madison. The facility was intended to address the transportation problem Gae associated with Chapter 51 involMagnaﬁci untary detentions when people are suffering a mental health crisis. District 28 Representative When officers from Polk, Burnett, or St. Croix counties respond to these cases, they must often travel up to 10 hours round-trip to Oshkosh. During this trip, our local police must operate with two less officers. There is no doubt this trip takes a toll on the person being transported as well. These people are in a mental health crisis, and for many of them it is the worst day of their lives. A Chippewa facility that handles

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A thank you to the Village of Grantsburg trustees Dear editor, It’s budget time in Grantsburg. As a trustee of our public library, it is stressful to have to ask each year for money to continue to finance what we have worked so hard to build. The last five years have been a growth period for the library. A beautiful new community room was added requiring money to heat, cool and maintain. We also set a number of goals: 1) to increase library hours from 32 per week to 46 which required a 30% increase in staffing; 2) a full time library director with new ideas and responsible for a sizable budget, requiring health insurance under the same plan that the other full-time village staff enjoyed; 3) to bring the wages of the library staff up to a level that would be comparable to other village staff and competitive with staff at similarly sized libraries (we are not there yet). We have also upgraded our computers, internet and Wi-Fi, installed security cameras for the safety of our patrons and staff, switched out fluorescent lighting for LED which will save money, repaired the AC units, improved our bathrooms, improved our staff work areas, revamped our children’s area with the help of donations, updated our collections of books, audio books and DVDs, added Libby (an online borrowing system), added a coffee counter/snack bar to help raise more revenue. The list goes on and doesn’t even touch on the over 250 programs we offer each year. We also added a door counter so we can provide the state with accurate data necessary for the annual library report and to secure funding from Burnett County. We have to thank the Village of Grantsburg Trustees for increasing our budget over these five years so that we could accomplish all we have done. We believe we have created the best library possible for the investment that the taxpayers have made in us. To everyone, we extend a hearty welcome and hope you will make the library a big part of your life here in Grantsburg. And thank you again to the Grantsburg Village Board of Trustees for the faith you have had in us to use wisely the funds you entrust to us each year. Pamela Davies President, Grantsburg Public Library Board of Trustees

these cases would reduce this travel time by more than half. On Thursday, I joined my Republican Assembly colleagues in attempting to override the Governor’s veto of this facility. Only 3 additional Democratic votes were needed to override the veto and make the facility a reality. Unfortunately, not a single Democrat, including representatives from Douglas, Burnett, Washburn, Bayfield, and Eau Claire counties, voted to fund the Chippewa Falls facility. There is a clear need for this regional facility. This isn’t a partisan issue. Law enforcement across the political spectrum that I’ve talked to all say that getting this done is one of their highest priorities. Democrats have had similar proposals. With such wide support, I simply cannot understand why the Governor and my Democratic colleagues are choosing to stonewall efforts for this facility. A few months ago I was told by a constituent that I spend an awful lot of time writing and talking about this topic. He’s correct. I discuss this often because the law enforcement in my district discuss it often. I will continue to fight for this facility because we need it and because northwest Wisconsin, not just Madison and Milwaukee, deserves access to mental health resources.

Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County It’s early November. The average temp is still near 50 and it’s 11 degrees this morning. Must be global warming. The past three months have been busy for our Interfaith teams and this early winter has prompted a good number of wood requests from our Heat a Home project. Denny and friends have been quite busy processing and delivering wood to people in need. Large groups of super volunteers come to the wood lot on a regular basis to cut, split and stack. Barb is orchestrating our Christmas for Kids program and is receiving numerous requests daily and we have helped people needing shelter from the cold. Again, to review, Interfaith transports people needing rides to appointments, donates furniture to those whose houses have burned or are just in need of individual items and we have a Christmas for Kids program each winter. We provide wood to those unable to process their own. We have a gentleman, who, with his crew, builds wheelchair ramps for wheelchair bound people. Thanks again to all volunteers. We are forever in debt to their services. Like us on Facebook.

Attacks on environmental science are attacks on our democracy DOUG LA FOLLETTE

“Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.” That quote was first given by the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, but it has been repeated time and time again ever since. As time goes on, I feel that its repetition only becomes more and more relevant to our modern day. As others have stated before, we seem to live in an era without common facts. Turn on CNN, then Fox News, and it will appear as if you’ve witnessed two opposite universes. Open Twitter, and it will appear as if our President lives in his own. Have a conversation with your neighbor across the aisle, and it will appear as if you can’t even agree on the time of day. We rely on common facts and our ability to find them. If we can’t identify the problems that we face, and if we can’t evaluate the solutions to them, then we can’t truly move forward. We need to have a shared commitment to fact-finding and an equally shared commitment to the facts we find. When it comes to ensuring our nation’s environmental security, our commitment to fact-finding relies on our commitment to science. We need science in order to monitor and evaluate our world, to recognize the problems that face it, and to design the solutions that can save it. However, the current presidential administration has decided to ignore science, to defund science, to lambast science, and to attack science. Our president and his party are destroying our efforts to find common facts, common problems, and common solutions. The Union of Concerned Scientists keeps an updated list on its website, titled “Attacks on Science”, detailing

the strategies that the Trump Administration has used to degrade the role of scientific facts in our government. The list demonstrates an unprecedented level of anti-science initiatives on behalf of an American President. Over the past three years, the Trump Administration has removed scientific governmental data from public view. It has censored press releases on climate change. It Doug has ended studies La Follette ranging from the health risks of Wisconsin coal to offshore oil Secretary effects. It has barred of State public officials from attending certain energy and environmental conferences. It has cut funding from science-based governmental agencies such as the NOAA. It has suppressed reports on the health risks of specific household chemicals and on environmental impacts to streams and wetlands. It has dissolved certain scientific advisory panels. It has published and refused to correct misleading and erroneous reports advocating harmful policies. These are just a few examples from a list that spans five pages full of attacks on science. This is disastrous. Let me make this clear. The President of the United States is actively tearing down the institutions that make it possible for our citizens to recognize key problems that we face as a nation. Our President is taking a system based on employing highly educated scientists doing diligent research to produce evidence-based findings, and he’s replacing that system with one based on political actors making political decisions. Due to President Trump’s attacks

on science, if formaldehyde in household products is causing increased risk for cancer in children, we won’t have the ability to publicly identify those risks and alleviate them. If scientists find that counties in southeastern Wisconsin are violating air pollution rules, we won’t have the ability to hear from them and to act on their warnings. If an international conference is introducing new innovations in clean energy, we won’t have the ability to learn from them and gain from them. When we remove science from our discourse, we lose sight of what’s working and what’s not, of what’s urgent and what’s not, of what’s true and what’s not. Science holds our politics accountable and prevents us from creating our own universes and creating our own facts. It brings us together in acknowledging common facts and common problems that can’t (or shouldn’t) be divided into partisan opinion. When we lose science, we lose that ability to come together to find common ground and common progress on subjects like environmental protection, public health, infrastructure, and beyond. As a scientist, I understand that science isn’t always perfect, and it isn’t always a great headline. But it is important. So as this president continues to make noise and continues to denigrate our national institutions, we have to remain diligent in standing up for science, in paying attention, in holding our elected officials accountable, and in ensuring that our political beliefs remain rooted in evidence-based facts, because our republic and our world depends on it. Doug La Follette is a scholar, author, longtime environmental advocate, former state senator and the current Secretary of State of the State of Wisconsin.

Gary’s Rude Cafe breaks ground with help of grant Carolyn Bork, owner of Gary’s Rude Cafe, recently broke ground on their new restaurant coming to Siren. The groundbreaking was held Oct. 16 and Bork told the Sentinel she was happy to get it going and ready for this next step. The Village of Siren is receiving a 25% of the total building cost. Community Development Investment Grant from Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation for new construction of Gary’s Rude Cafe in downtown Siren. Those who work in community development know that when communities are able to mobilize people and resources, this inspires positive and substantive local development. Community development focuses on creating vibrant, sustainable and unique places—environments where people want to live and work, and which play a crucial role in helping communities attract and retain talent. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) understands that the success of Wisconsin’s communities is directly linked to quality services and infrastructure that support economic competitiveness. WEDC’s Community Development Investment (CDI) Grant Program is designed to help communities transform themselves by investing in these services and infrastructure and establish a firm foundation for ongoing economic growth. There will be several benefits to the new building: • additional parking and handicap parking

The new Gary’s Rude Cafe will be on the southeast corner of Main Street and First Avenue in Siren.

• handicap accessible facilities within the cafe • additional customer seating • larger cooler space which will enable them to consider future catering options

The Siren community anxiously awaits the opening of the new Gary’s Rude Cafe location in spring!

Grantsburg ready for new skating rink JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

GRANTSBURG––The Village of Grantsburg has re-

ceived an anonymous donation with the money slated for new lights at the new skating rink. The skating rink has been ordered and the village now

Trustee Greg Peer has been working on bringing back a skating rink to the Village of Grantsburg since April and hopefully the new rink will arrive soon.

Plan Perfect the

waits for it to be delivered by EZ Ice. EZ Ice is a freestanding rink that does not need to put any stakes or foundations in the ground. It is put together with interlocking plastic boards and a liner on the bottom to make sure the ice is level. The village board in September approved buying a 35 foot by 100-foot rink, with the option to expand, for $5,500. It was an idea brought to the board back in April by Greg Peer after it was clear the former skating rink across from the library would not be open. “(The owner) wanted to have the school involved with their practices,” Trustee Diane Barton said of Curt Lee, who purchased the building earlier

this year. “The whole idea was to get those sports to practice there and that didn’t work so now it’s up for sale again.” Peer was disappointed there was no place for people to skate last year and wanted to make sure it didn’t happen again this winter. The skating rink rules were approved at Monday nights Village Board meeting including no hockey on the ice. • Children under age 8 must be accompanied by a person 16 years old or older • No hockey sticks, pucks, or body checking allowed • Warming house/bathrooms will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day • Skate at your own risk, the Village of Grantsburg

will not be responsible for accidents or injuries • Rink can be reserved Monday - Thursday for up to 2 hours for parties, events, or School activities. $25 suggested donation per reservation to the splashpad fund. Please call 715-4632405 at least one week in advance to reserve. Village Clerk/Treasurer Sheila Meyer said there will be signage if a group reserves the rink. The rink will be set up near Memory Lake Campground during the winter months and the bathhouse at the campground will be used as a warming house and possibly to sell concessions.

Siren could officially become snowmobile friendly SIRENâ€“â€“Siren could be named a snowmobile friendly thanks to a local club wanting to show that the community is welcoming to snowmobile riders. Jon Schoepke and Jon Hager of Lake Country Riders Snowmobile Club attended a Siren Village Board meeting and asked the trustees if they would have any objections to applying for the award. The application is 20 pages long and asked questions about snow-

mobiling in the community. The questions are broken down in to several sections including; snowmobile policies, programs and activities in the area, snowmobile safety and education, and community encouragement. Village President Dave Alden said it was a â€œno-brainerâ€? and was in favor of approving the group to go forward with the application. A large part of the award is the signs that would be promi-

nently displayed in the village. Hager and Schoepke spoke briefly about where the signs would be placed. Police Chief Chris Sybers said he would help the group with placing the signs. Ideally, the signs would be visible when people drive into town, John said. Deadlines for the application are due January 10, 2020. SENTINEL PHOTO

If Siren is awarded the snowmobile-friendly community award they will recieve two signs and will said Village instead of City.

The Great Halloween Snowstorm of 1991 KAYLA CASEY SENTINEL STAFF

On October 31 of 1991, Burnett County experienced one of their largest snowstorms to date with between 22-28 inches of snowfall. It became known as the Great Halloween Snowstorm, which is still brought up in conversation every Halloween. Itâ€™s currently early November in Burnett County, and what we are seeing now outside our windows is a light dusting of snow. The residents of 1991 were having a completely different experience. When they woke up the morning of Halloween, weather forecasters were announcing a winter storm watch. The snow began to fall that morning and was showing no signs of slowing come the afternoon. Any trick or treaters that were brave enough to fight the storm had to tramp through several inches of snow to receive their candy. The snow continued through Thursday night and by Friday morning, the wind had picked up and the snow continued to fall. Forecasters were now calling the storm a blizzard. Schools had been cancelled and little to no businesses in Burnett County opened their doors. County and local road crews were needing to assist emergency vehicles when they 1991 article in the Sentinel were called out for a medical emergency. With residentsâ€™ driveways and local roads being snowed over, the road crews had to plow in front of the emergency vehicles to get them where they needed to go.

â€˜By Saturday morning the snowfall had lessoned, but the ground was thoroughly covered with what turned out to be half of a normal winterâ€™s snowfall..â€™

An issue that the county struggled with when trying to open schools the following Monday was being able to get students inside the buildings. Here, Myles Brogren is seen trying to shovel out the Nelson Elementary School Monday morning.

The road conditions were so bad on Friday that the Minnesota State Highway Department shut down Highway 70 from the St. Croix River to Pine City. This caused trouble for Minnesota travelers as they were now stuck in Grantsburg. With the Grantsburg Inn being full, travelers were contacting John Moritz, the Chief of Police, because they had nowhere to go. Moritz contacted Bill Stapp from the Grantsburg High School and Stapp opened the gymnasium up to any travelers who couldnâ€™t get back home. Some local residents in Grantsburg even opened up their homes to some of these travelers.

By Saturday morning, the snow turned to flurries, but was still coming down. An article in the Sentinel from 1991 stated, â€œBy Saturday morning the snowfall had lessoned, but the ground was thoroughly covered with what turned out to be half of a normal winterâ€™s snowfall.â€? It wasnâ€™t until Sunday when the skies finally cleared, and the snow ceased to fall. Neighbors became very neighborly during this big storm, helping each other plow out their driveways, getting each other groceries and carpooling to work. Even with the friendly help from neighbors and the local and county road crews plowing snow, some residents were snowed in their homes until Monday and Tuesday. It took the road crews from Burnett County several days to clear all of the snow from the villages so that businesses could open back up. The snowfall was measured after the storm and throughout Burnett County, between 22-28 inches of snow had fallen and blanketed the towns. There are many people now who are complaining that our dusting of snow has come too early- at least we did not have a blizzard like the Great Halloween Snowstorm.

2019 harvest data suggests another great season for Wisconsin bear hunters MADISON–– Preliminary data from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources shows hunters harvested 3,648 bears during the 2019 Wisconsin black bear season, nearly equal to the 3,680 reported in 2018. “Wisconsin often leads the nation in black bear harvest, and these preliminary results suggest that our bear population remains healthy and abundant across the prime bear range in the state,” said Scott Walter, DNR Large Carnivore Specialist. “Although we reduced quotas and permit levels to meet population management objectives, generally higher hunter success allowed us to achieve 95% of our desired harvest quota and an overall harvest similar to last year. The data provided by hunters through the registration process is critical to both tracking bear population size and establishing harvest quotas that address population management objectives.” Statewide harvest totals were buoyed by high hunter success in Zone C, which consists of the southern two-thirds of the state, where harvest increased by 36% (from 660 to 898 bears) over 2018, and Zone A (northcentral), where harvest increased by 20%. “While the statewide harvest was strong in these northern zones and allowed us to broadly achieve our harvest objectives, hunter success and total harvest were lower than hoped for in Zones B (northeast) and

D (northwest),” Walter said. “Weather and the availability of natural foods can lead to variation in hunter success, so the beauty of our zone-based approach to management is that we can identify and track local bear population trends. The 2019 data provided by hunters will be instrumental in allowing us to adjust quotas moving forward to ensure that bear populations in all zones are at desired levels.” Zone-specific preliminary registration information is as follows: Zone A

Reflecting sustained high interest in Wisconsin’s bear hunting opportunities, more than 120,000 hunters applied for either a harvest permit or preference point for the 2019 season. “The passion Wisconsin bear hunters have for our bear resource, the hunting experience and for introducing new hunters to the outdoors is wonderful,”

Walter said. “Our staff scientists are bringing new population monitoring tools to the table. We have a new bear management plan in place and our bear population remains healthy and is expanding into new areas. Now is certainly an exciting time for the black bear program in Wisconsin.” Visit the DNR website to learn more about black bear ecology, history and management in Wisconsin and review the recently approved Wisconsin Black Bear Management Plan, 2019 - 2029.

PTCC holds groundbreaking for facility update MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM

Pine Technical and Community College has received $2.2 million in state and federal grants to renovate and update student leisure and learning spaces, including its library, lounge and cafeteria. Though work is not scheduled to start until January, the college held a groundbreaking ceremony in October, and invited area legislators to take part. “This is a special day for a lot of us,” said Pine Technical and Community College President Joe Mulford. “We’ve been working on this project for a couple years. We really had a vision. We wanted to create a building to match the high-quality education that we believe that we’re providing everybody ... and preparing them for those great jobs here in the region.” He pointed out that half of the project is state funded and half is federally funded. “It takes a partnership in rural Minnesota,” Mulford said. Out here, I think, we’re a little faster, a little tougher and we figure it out a little differently. We needed the federal support. We needed the state funds. We needed the local resources to make this happen.” District 11B State Representative

Local officials gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking at Pine Technical and Community College. Pictured (l-r): PTCC President Joe Mulford, District 11B Representative Nathan Nelson, District 8 Representative Pete Stauber, Pine City Mayor Carl Pederson and Minpack President Bob Thompson.

Nathan Nelson said too many young people are moving out of the area for

education and work. “That leaves an aging demographic

in rural Minnesota,” Nelson said. He congratulated the college and staff. “It’s exciting to see this come to our district here,” he said. “Being able to have a lot of technical skills, there’s a growing demand for that in rural Minnesota.” Minnesota’s Eighth District Representative Pete Stauber noted that the East Central Regional Development Council played a large part in obtaining the grants for Pine Technical and Community College, and said the community should be proud. “Rural Minnesota matters,” Stauber said. “Every single day that we’re in DC, the rural legislators get together. You can’t forget us. And to have the Department of Commerce say, Pine Tech deserves this, and it’s in rural Minnesota, and we matter. “For you instructors out there, you are worth your weight in gold, because you are preparing that next generation of workforce... the jobs that we need, and that we’re short of.” Stauber said. “We don’t take a back seat to anyone. Pine Technical College, you are A number 1. I couldn’t be more proud of this college and of everyone in this room.” The college is working with TKDA, an architectural company out of Duluth. The project has an anticipated completion date of July 2020.

When money is tight MAUREEN WILSON FOODSHARE SPECIALIST

Everyone has a budget these days, especially with the rising cost of food, products and services. Finding ways to stretch your dollars can be challenging but very important, especially so you can choose the foods that benefit your health. For one week, I challenge you to try planning a menu and choosing healthy options. Go to www. eatingwell.com, this website gives you more than 30 days of simple recipes to pick. Once you pick the meals you plan on making for the week, take part of a day to prep and freeze these dishes. This will help stretch your budget plus, your new meals are healthier and “fast food” ready to just heat! In regards to beverages, try adding lemon, lime, cucumber or mint leaf to your water. Flavored water is super healthy for you and the money you save by not buying those highly sugared, caffeinated, diet drinks, can be used to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Check to see if you are eligible for FoodShare and Women, Infant, and Children (WIC). If you qualify for FoodShare, your children can get free or reduced meals. WIC will give you additional dollars on foods that are important for prenatal children or children under the age of six. Plus, all programs can give you additional dollars in your budget for housing, transportation, etc. if needed. Call Maureen Wilson, your local FoodShare Specialist, at 715-496-3121 for screening, application assistance and help with renewals. Contact WIC by calling 715-349-7600 ext 1952.

Ian’s Last Buck MIKE MORITZ GRANTSBURG, WISCONSIN

It was the last day of the 2009 rifle hunt in Wisconsin, and my stepson, Ian Fossum, had just turned 14 years old. Ian loved to hunt, and now he was old enough to sit in his stand and hunt by himself. But on the night before the last day of the season, he asked me to take him out and sit with him. I got up early Sunday morning and noticed that the ground was covered by fresh snow. I woke Ian up and told him, “It snowed, so we need to get out early.” The moon was bright that morning, and we decided to go and sit in Grandpa Ray's deer stand (Ray has a heater in his stand). Because of the new snow and bright moonlight, we were able to see a few deer walking across the hayfield in the dark.

Ian was using a Remington Model 700 in .308 that I had won at the Burnett County WTU banquet 11 years before. Ian was only 3 years old at the time, but I had saved the rifle for him, knowing that we would someday be hunting together. He had already taken a bear with it earlier in the fall, and today was the last chance this season for him to take a deer. About 7 a.m. I leaned

over and whispered to Ian, “Who ever sees the big buck first gets to shoot it,” and he nodded in agreement. It was about 20 minutes later when I saw a doe coming out of the neighbor’s woods onto Grandpa's land about 100 yards from the stand. Then I noticed the big 8-pointer following her. I said to Ian, “Holy cow, the big one is coming out.” When Ian saw the buck, the begging began. “Please, Dad, let me shoot it!” If we got a shot on this buck I knew that Ian was going to take it, but I couldn't resist joking with him. I said, “No, I saw it first,” and Ian just stared at the buck and said, “Please?” He knew I was joking when I told him to switch spots with me, and to get ready. Ian couldn't find the buck in his scope right away and the deer slipped into the swamp

grass. All we could see were his antlers moving above the tall grass. Then, all of a sudden, the doe popped out on the other side. I told Ian to put the cross hairs of his scope right on the doe, and then hold steady as the doe walked away. “Why?” he asked. I said because the buck was following the doe, and he would come out of the tall grass at that same point. Sure enough, the buck showed up a few seconds later, and with one shot Ian put him down. After hugging and high fiving, we called Grandpa and told him about it. Grandpa said he didn’t believe Ian, so he drove out to look at it for himself (I think he just wanted an excuse to get into the field.) We couldn't have been more proud of Ian, and he couldn't have been happier. Sadly, this was Ian's last buck, as we lost him before the next season due to a swimming accident where he drowned. Not only did we lose a son, but I also lost a great hunting partner and the best blood tracker ever. I miss you, Bud!

Local athletes shine under lights at Camp Randall SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

MADISON – Two Grantsburg graduates were on the winning sideline for an important football game on Saturday. The University of Wisconsin-Madison hosted Iowa with the Heartland Trophy and any hopes of a Big Ten West Division title on the line. The Badgers, including John and Leo Chenal, withstood a late Iowa rally for a fourth-consecutive win over the Hawkeyes, 24-22. A season-high 250 rushing yards from Jonathan Taylor helped get the win and a 300-yard team rushing total for the Badgers. “That's one of the things I've always been impressed with (Taylor): every day he comes and you know you're going to get his best,” Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said. “I think it affects (players) all around him as much, if not more.” While the Hawkeyes scored the only points of the first quarter and took a 3-0 lead into

the second, the Badgers took their first lead with a 17-yard

touchdown run from Danny Davis. Wisconsin then an-

swered another Iowa field goal with Davis’ second touchdown to take a 14-6 lead into halftime. A 27-yard touchdown pass from Jack Coan to Cephus

Quintez late in the third quarter gave the Badgers a 21-6 lead. But, the Hawkeyes put Wisconsin’s lead in jeopardy in the fourth quarter. Iowa pulled within a score with a touchdown pass early in the fourth and made it a five-point game with a field goal. Collin Larsh hit a 29-yard field goal for the Badgers to give them a 24-16 lead, though the Hawkeyes had a quick response. A 75-yard touchdown pass made it a 24-22 game and the 2-point conversion would have tied the game, but the Badgers stopped the run attempt to maintain the lead. They were able to hold on for the win and end a two-game win streak for the Hawkeyes, including Cody Ince – a Unity graduate and former Lakeland Conference competitor to Grantsburg. Wisconsin improved to 7-2 overall and 4-2 in the Big Ten; the Badgers go to Nebraska this Saturday.

All-Academic team announced SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

MADISON – Five football players from the coverage area were included in the recently-released Academic All-State Team from the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association. Two players from Grantsburg and three from Siren met the qualifications of being in their senior season, earning at least a 3.75 grade-point average along with

a varsity letter. Dane Jensen and Garrett Johnson – who both played wide receiver and defensive back for the Pirates were among the selections. They join Siren’s quarterback Jordan Webster, running back-linebacker Cordell Fischer and lineman Russell Cook from 8-player competition. Together the players from both teams represent five of the 380 players selected for Academic AllState in Wisconsin for 2019.

GRANTSBURG – The Winona State University softball team will welcome one of Grantsburg’s top players to its roster after the 2020 high school season is over. Emma Quimby – a senior – committed to play softball at WSU on Tuesday, months before starting her final season with the Pirates and months after posting record-setting numbers in the 2019 season. She was one of five Grantsburg players picked for the Lakeland West All-Conference team in 2019, which was her third time receiving postseason recognition from the conference. Quimby also was named the conference’s player of the year after setting a Grantsburg program

record with a .638 batting average in her junior season. In addition to a third consecutive spot on the all-conference team, Quimby earned a third consecutive all-district

After the upcoming high school season, the Grantsburg second baseman will join a program led by a coach with his own set of impressive marks. Greg Jones is entering his 20th season coaching the Warriors and will continue working toward

a four-digit career win total. The Warriors’ 53-9 overall record in 2019 gave Jones his 800th career coaching win, putting him in the top 10 of the all-time win list for NCAA Division II. Winona State fell shy of a national title last season despite having a 31-game win streak during the season and posting a 30-0 record in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference play. The in-conference success boosted Jones’ career NSIC record to 341-74, which is a winning percentage over 82 percent. The Pirates, meanwhile, enter the 2020 season at least seeking their second consecutive state semifinal appearance, if not their first state final appearance since 2016.

Siren was ‘on-point’ when healthy SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

SIREN – Much like a football game, Siren’s season had two halves. Combined they led the Dragons to a 7-3 overall record for the 2019 season, with a majority of the wins coming from the portion with a roster of full availability. “When we were healthy, we were exactly on-point this season,” Siren coach Ryan Karsten said. “At full strength, we were fine. When we weren’t, our philosophy changed a bit.” The necessity to adjust due to injuries may have been the primary obstacle blocking the Dragons from a 1st-place finish in the Lakeland-8 North. Though even with the injuries they went 5-1 in the conference for a runner-up spot to Shell Lake. The Dragons had a 4-0 start with their primary players healthy, including two season-opening wins over Clayton and Prairie Farm in which they outscored the two teams by a combined 100-8 score. And after a 28-26 win over Northwood-Solon Springs, Siren earned another lopsided win over Mercer-Butternut to have an unblemished record entering its matchup with Luck. “When we beat Northwood, it was a great test and it felt good because they beat us last year,” Karsten said. “We had a decent look to our offense through the first four games.” Running back Cordell Fischer led the Dragons in the first four wins, getting a good start toward his 1,523 total rushing yards on the season. And if not for the needed alterations to the game plan due to injuries, Karsten said Fischer’s season total would have been even better.

SENTINEL PHOTO

The Siren Dragons started their 2019 season 4-0 and ﬁnished the season 7-3. The Dragons also had an early exit from the WIAA Playoffs this season losing at home to Northwood-Solon Springs 24-8.

“Fischer met all expectations this season,” Karsten said. “A lot of his yards were early in the season. If we could have stuck with the run the whole season and not needed to change philosophies with the injuries, he would have had over 2,000 yards.” But eventually, quarterback Jordan Webster was added to the list of injured players and the lineup that led the Dragons to a 4-0 record was no longer intact. “When Jordan couldn’t run, he was

a standing target,” Karsten said. “He wasn’t mobile enough and was probably at about 70 percent.” Siren soon fell to 4-2 with a one-point loss to Shell Lake that followed a loss at Luck. Fortunately for the Dragons, they were healthy enough to run the table for the remainder of the regular season. They earned lopsided wins over Mellen, Winter-Birchwood and Washburn-Bayfield before a rematch with Northwood-Solon Springs to open postseason play. But the Dragons’

roster needed to be as healthy in the postseason game as it was in the regular season win over the Evergreens, in order to advance. “We needed two or three weeks to be completely healthy,” Karsten said. “But beyond the injuries, we had 10 (pass) drops in that game, so it wasn’t all about the injuries.” A 24-8 loss to Northwood-Solon Springs concluded Siren’s season, which may be proven to be at least somewhat easier than the 2020 is expected to be. The Dragons lose 10 seniors from their 2019 team, meaning nearly half of the 2020 roster will be different. “We will take a step back (in 2020),” Karsten said. “Expectations will be pulled back and while we were hoping for a conference title this year, if we can get five or six wins (in 2020) I’ll be tickled pink.” Included in the departing group of seniors is the quarterback, who finished with 1,783 yards passing and 20 touchdowns despite not being at 100 percent for the duration of the season. Webster’s primary target – Trevor Stanford – also played his final game for Siren after 73 receptions, 1,110 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2019. Since Fischer also is a senior, the Dragons will lose their top three options on offense. The defensive side also will have significant losses, including leading tackler Gavyn Anton, who finished with 130 stops on the season. Twenty-two of his tackles were for loss. Zach Richter, Mo Richter, Mitchell Daniels, Gage Holmes, Zach Doriott, Riley Churchhill, Russell Cook and Andy Gore also are among this year’s seniors for Siren.

PER MONTH

should I wait for the spring?

As the cold weather might not motivate you to Len Chute want to move, buyers are still actively looking for properties right now. Typically we find when the inventory is low, and there are less choices for buyers, you may get a maximum price on your property, unlike in the spring when the market gets flooded with listings and there is more competition. Vacant land tends to increase in sales this time of year as people start receiving tax returns and are tired of the long winter. Many buyers start looking for a get-away property for recreation to pull the camper to or build a cabin on. If you’re thinking of selling, it’s a great time to get a Market Analysis from your local Realtor to educate you where the market is, and what your property is worth at the current time....and “IT’S FREE”! Bottom line: Being early is better than missing the wave!

Wisconsin collects more than 30 tons of unused medications during Drug Take Back Day Ranks second in Nation MADISON–– Attorney General Josh Kaul today announced that at Drug Take Back Day, held on October 26, 2019, Wisconsin had a total collection of 60,472 lbs. Wisconsin had the second largest collection in the nation this October, beating the State of California in the biannual drug collection. “This successful Drug Take Back collection reflects the commitment of people across the state to fighting substance abuse,” said Attorney General Kaul. “Thanks to the many Wisconsinites who are helping to prevent unused and unwanted medications from being diverted.”

‘This successful Drug Take Back collection reﬂects the commitment of people across the state to ﬁghting substance abuse.’ Josh Kaul Attorney General Statewide 280 law enforcement agencies hosted Drug Take Back events and collected disposed drugs from 476 permanent drug disposal boxes at law enforcement

METRO CREATIVE

agencies across the state. These permanent drug disposal boxes are accessible year-round. Drug Take Back Day provides a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the community about the potential abuse and consequences of improper storage and disposal of these medications. Unused or expired medicine should never be flushed or poured

down the drain. Water reclamation facilities are not designed to remove all of them, and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals are showing up in rivers and lakes. Drug Take Back Day would not be possible without assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the generous support of Fuchs Trucking, Covanta Energy, the Wisconsin State Patrol, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the Indiana State Police, Waukesha County, Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office, and all participating local law enforcement agencies. The collected medications were boxed, palletized, shrink wrapped, and secured for transportation to Covanta Energy Corporation in Indianapolis, where the drugs were incinerated.

NOTICE OF PENDING APPLICATION FOR PROPOSED MISCELLANEOUS STRUCTURE Gary Kibort, 7260 Mickey Smith Parkway, Webster, WI 54893 has applied to the Department of Natural Resources for a permit to place a structure on the bed of Devils Lake. The project is located in the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 33, Township 40 North, Range 16 West, Town of Oakland, Burnett County. 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.

Nothing but the Truth The GHS Theater Department presents the drama “Nothing but the Truth” on November 15-17 in the Grantsburg Auditorium. The play is based on a novel by Avi. The book won a Newberry Honor in 1991 and many other awards. The story centers on Philip Malloy (Mark Seeger), a 14-year-old high school student who mostly wants to make the track team and impress girls. He runs into trouble with his English teacher, Margaret Narwin (Abby Alderman). He doesn’t read the assigned book and she is not charmed by his flippant answers to essay questions. His failing grade keeps him off the track team. When he realizes that humming along

with the national anthem at the beginning of the school day annoys her, he refuses to stand “in respectful silence” and is sent to the assistant principal (Sam Prusinski) for discipline. The routine two-day suspension for repeated infractions draws the attention of a candidate running for school board (Gus Bergman). He shares it with the press, and the snowball effect brings consequences no one could have predicted. Philip Malloy’s parents (Thor Johnson and Olivia Ohnstad) and the other school administrators (Emma Quimby and Garrett Johnson) as well as other students, teachers and community

Read the

members try to unravel the truth, but often only acknowledge one side of the story. What should have been a simple internal school incident becomes a very public event. Like the documentary novel, the play presents short scenes, letters, journal entries and memos. That allows the audience to hear the facts and discover what happened. There are no easy answers. The Grantsburg production is enhanced by original music composed by Aletta Bergman. The show, with a cast of more than 30, will be presented Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are available at the door.

Renewing your mind

Pastor Emory L. Johnson New Hope Lutheran Church

You have probably heard the expression, “You are what you eat.” The study of neuroscience has also found that our attitudes, our words, our actions and our personalities are shaped by what we think. The Bible also says this, “…as a person thinks in his heart so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7) For instance, if you shout obscenities whenever you become frustrated or angry it will become easier and easier to use those words at other times too. If you think about how miserable you may feel in a situation you will begin to carry those feelings into the other situations in your life. Our brains are very malleable. They

become formed by what we think and they are changed by our thinking. God designed them that way. In His Word He tells us that, “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things… Practice these things and the God of Peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9) Just think, peace comes from focusing on what God tells us to focus on. He created our minds and He knows how they work.. God’s Word also tells us. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by

the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2) So if you wish to change your attitude, your words and your behavior you can do so. Start by asking for God’s help. Ask Jesus to help you change. This is asking Him into your life. The next time you find yourself speaking those words you do not like, or feeling a way you do not wish to feel, or acting out in a negative manner, just stop and start thanking and praising God even if you do not feel like it. You will find that your feelings and thinking will begin to change and your mind will begin to be renewed. Try it, always praise God, keep doing it, it works.

American Legion collects many items to donate to the disabled veterans gift shop The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 185 in Grantsburg has collected many gifts to be sent down to the VA Hospital in Minneapolis. The items get sent to the VA who sets up a gift shop for the veterans in the hospital and they are then able to choose a gift(s) and have it wrapped to give to a loved one for Christmas. This gift shop is free of charge to the veterans who use it. The Legion has been a part of this tradition for countless years. If anyone would like to make monetary donations, send to the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 185, P.O. Box 214, Grantsburg.

Assembly panel considers mandatory cursive bill MADISON— Wisconsin lawmakers are considering a bill that would require schools to teach cursive writing. Rep. Jeremy Theisfeldt is the bill’s chief Assembly sponsor. He told the

incorporate cursive in elementary curriculums with the goal of having students write legibly in cursive by the end of fifth grade. State education officials estimate public and charter schools would have to spend between $1.7 million to $5.95 million on student materials annually

and between $250,000 and $1.6 million on teacher training in at least the first year of the requirement. Voucher schools would face costs of up to $595,000 annually for materials and up to $160,000 on teacher training in the first year.

MINI BEEF WELLINGTONS

ROASTED RACK OF LAMB

Submitted by Frisinger Distributing

Courtesy of AllRecipes.com

INGREDIENTS •

Two 2 ½-to-3-inch-tall pieces beef tenderloin (filet mignon), about ¾ pound

•

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

•

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

•

6 ounces finely-chopped baby bella mushrooms

•

1/3 cup finely-chopped sweet onion

•

1 large clove garlic, minced

•

½ teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste

•

Freshly-ground pepper, to taste

•

¼ cup dry sherry

•

1 large sprig fresh thyme

•

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

•

1 sheet (1/2 box) puff pastry

•

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

•

Egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon milk)

Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS

Serves 2 generously

DIRECTIONS 1. Heat a stainless steel pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and heat until just starting to smoke. 2. Rub the meat generously with salt and pepper. Once the pan is very hot, sear the two filets very briefly on each side. You don't want to cook the interior of the meat at this point, so it shouldn't be more than a minute or two per side. Remove the filets from the pan and place on a plate in the freezer while you make the filling. 3. Let the pan cool slightly and turn the heat down to medium. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic to the pan, and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms release all their water and the onion is translucent. 4. Add the sherry and thyme. Cook until the sherry evaporates. Taste for salt and pepper, and season as necessary. 5. Remove from the heat and refrigerate until cold, then stir in the chopped parsley. 6. Roll out one puff pastry piece and cut in half, so you have two rectangular strips of dough.

•

1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs

•

2 tablespoons minced garlic

•

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

•

1 teaspoon salt

•

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

•

2 tablespoons olive oil

•

1 (7 bone) rack of lamb, trimmed and frenched

•

1 teaspoon salt

•

1 teaspoon black pepper

•

2 tablespoons olive oil

•

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Move oven rack to the center position. 2. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss in 2 tablespoons olive oil to moisten mixture. Set aside. 3. Season the rack all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy oven proof skillet over high heat. Sear rack of lamb for 1 to 2 minutes on all sides. Set aside for a few minutes. Brush rack of lamb with the mustard. Roll in the bread crumb mixture until evenly coated. Cover the ends of the bones with foil to prevent charring. 4. Arrange the rack bone side down in the skillet. Roast the lamb in preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on the degree of doneness you want. With a meat thermometer, take a reading in the center of the meat after 10 to 12 minutes and remove the meat, or let it cook longer, to your taste. Let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes, loosely covered, before carving between the ribs.

7. Remove the steaks from the freezer and brush with the Dijon mustard on both sides. 8. Put a quarter of the mushroom mixture in the middle of one piece of the puff pastry. Top with one steak, then add a quarter more of the mushrooms. Repeat with the other steak, puff pastry piece and mushrooms. 9. Fold the long sides of the pastry over the steak, tucking in and tightly sealing all the edges so the juice doesn't escape. Wrapping it all in plastic wrap can help! 10. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan. While the oven preheats, put the wrapped beef in the freezer.

PUMPKIN-SHAPED DINNER ROLLS

BLUEBERRY ZUCCHINI BREAD

Courtesy of AllRecipes.com

Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 3 hour 20 minutes

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 50 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS

â€˘

1 cup warm milk

â€˘

3 eggs, lightly beaten

â€˘

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

â€˘

1 cup vegetable oil

â€˘

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

â€˘

1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste

â€˘

2 1/4 cups white sugar

â€˘

4 tablespoons melted butter

â€˘

2 cups shredded zucchini

â€˘

1 teaspoon fine salt

â€˘

3 cups all-purpose flour

â€˘

3 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed

â€˘

1 teaspoon salt

â€˘

kitchen string (4 per roll)

â€˘

1 teaspoon baking powder

â€˘

vegetable oil, or as needed

â€˘

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

â€˘

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

â€˘

1 pint fresh blueberries

DIRECTIONS 1. Combine warm milk, yeast, honey, and butter in a bowl; stir. Add salt and most of the flour, reserving the rest for dusting. Stir using a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. 2. Dust a work surface with the leftover flour. Knead the dough until smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky, adding more flour as needed. Form dough into a ball that springs back lightly when pressed. 3. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with greased foil, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. 4. Meanwhile, cut kitchen string into 4 dozen 8 to 10-inch strands. Place strings in a bowl and toss with oil to coat; set aside.

Burnett County Sentinel

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 4 mini-loaf pans. 2. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Fold in the zucchini. Beat in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gently fold in the blueberries. Transfer to the prepared mini-loaf pans. 3. Bake 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

5. Press risen dough down on a work surface; reserve 3 to 4 tablespoons for forming "stems." Cut remaining dough in half and cut each half into 6 wedges. Roll each into a round ball by cupping your hand over the dough and pressing and rolling lightly in a circular motion for 10 to 15 seconds. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone liners. 7. Place 4 pieces of string on your work surface. Crisscross strings over a center point into a star formation. Place a dough ball, smooth side-down, onto the center point. Firmly tie each string into a knot over the center of the roll. Snip off excess string using scissors. 8. Place tied roll onto a prepared baking sheet, knot side-down. Repeat with remaining strings and dough balls.

9. Let rolls rise for about 30 minutes. 10. Sift a little flour on top of rolls. Shape reserved dough into "stems" and place them on the sheet next to the rolls. 11. Bake in the center of the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. 12. Remove from the oven and let cool until safe to handle, about 15 minutes. Cut strings off of each roll at the tops and peel down carefully Saturday, Nov. 30 and slowly to remove. Cut a small hole in the tops of each SMALL BUSINESS roll and press "stems" into each SATURDAY hole. Transfer pumpkin rolls to a Shop Local & serving platter.
