The Siren School Board faced backlash from the Native American community after denying a motion that would work towards ending the use of Native American symbols and mascots in Wisconsin schools. This motion being sent statewide originated from the Wausau school board. Their board recommended that lawmakers introduce a new legislation that ends the use of mascots that can be seen as offensive and intolerable. Tricia Zunker, the president of the school board stated that this bill would protect students from culturally insensitive representations of indigenous people. Zunker said, “It’s not OK to participate in stigmatization. Schools that retain these mascots, they’re really sending the wrong message.” There are 421 school districts in Wisconsin and 31 of those districts are still using Native American mascots, symbols, images, logos or nicknames. As of August, 18 Wisconsin school districts have SEE SCHOOL BOARD, PAGE 9

The only requests the circus has given him is they need 1,500 gallons of water for the various animals with the circus and a large dumpster “It will be a one-day deal,” Summer told the board. “They bring in their own power and everything else. When they’re gone it will look like they were never here.”
He added tickets will be on sale about a month and a half before the show. “Should be a great show and it will be a great fundraiser for the community,” Summers concluded. Culpepper & Merriweather started in 1985 and is based in Hugo, Okla. Their show includes an all-star group of performers from all over North America and features animals, acrobats, comedy and balancing acts.

Chalk Art Competition for Bullying Prevention Month Burnett County—The Mental Health Task Force of Burnett County (MHTFBC) joined the effort to raise awareness about preventing bullying by teaming up with the area schools to organize a Chalk Art Competition. The Chalk Art Competition is designed to spread the message of taking action to prevent bullying through outdoor artistic drawing. It also helps to get our students talking about bullying and understanding their power to prevent it. As damaging as bullying is, there is hope, because bullying is an issue that can be prevented. When students, parents, educators, and others unite it means one less student being bullied, one more person speaking out, or another young person knowing that they are not alone. Guided by this fact, a positive message is chose for
Grantsburg High School
the schools to incorporate into their drawings that encourages students to rally around one simple action: ‘Hope not hate.’ Eight different local school districts participated in this year’s Chalk Art Competition.
Siren High School
Students created the drawings on their campuses throughout the week of October 21st. The completed chalk art drawings were evaluated and voted on by MHTFBC and Healthy Burnett members and the winner was Siren High School! All of the completed drawings can be viewed on Healthy Burnett’s
Facebook page. The Chalk Art Competition is organized by the MHTFBC, a subcommittee of Healthy Burnett. This volunteer committee is devoted to breaking the negative stigma surrounding mental health which is one of the top health needs identified in the community health
needs assessment conducted by Burnett County DHHS-Public Health and Burnett Medical Center in the spring of 2019. For more information about the MHTFBC and/or Healthy Burnett, please visit www. healthyburnett.org and like us on Facebook!

Keeping hot air under control
F
our pieces of double-sided tape and a sheet of thin plastic. Pair those materials with scissors and a blow-dryer and you have the first sign of Christmas and the holiday spirit for me. That’s right I’m talking about winterizing the windows of my apartment. The idea behind winterizing windows or installing window treatments is to keep the cold air out and hopefully keep the warm air inside the home. The process is simple enough. Secure tape to the borders of a window then attach a sheet of plastic to the tape covering the entire window. Finally, use a blow-dryer to seal the plastic in place and keep out that nasty cold weather. Sentinel I will go to great lengths to save money. Well, maybe not great Editor lengths, but decent lengths. Like Jonathan Richie I have the heat set to 62 degrees during the cold months. I am more comfortable in my sweatpants and long sleeve shirts made with similar materials to long underwear. If there is a product that will keep the cold air out and the heating bill down - sign me up. This year I was caught by surprise with the cold blast we experienced last week. So, I went out and bought the little red box with three pre-cut sheets of plastic and a roll of tape seemingly three times longer than it needs to be. In my early days, I hated this process. It took too long to put the tape on the window. And more than often the plastic would stick to the tape before it was in place. That would require the whole plastic sheet to be removed. Then imagine if everything went to plan and the tape was secured and the plastic sheet in place, however, when going to blow dry the plastic it may loosen, and the tape may fail. This means you have to start all over again. But first you must detach all the tape and plastic already on the window. In my youth, I thought this was my mother playing a cruel joke on me. I’m just a simple kid who doesn’t know how to keep cold air out of his bedroom with these devil-ridden window treatments. Narrator: Years later he would realize it was not the process of putting plastic on the windows that made him feel inferior. But it was that he was trying to rush through the job and quickly get back to AIM Instant Messenger or his PlayStation 2 system or whatever his 12-year old self was doing at the time. Then what if I left the curtains or blinds open underneath the plastic? Because that leads to a whole ‘nother decision, which is, is it best to keep them open and get as much sunlight as possible but then have my apartment be an open book at night. There are some who have sophisticated windows that do not need to go through this ritual as the snow begins to fly. Good for you. I hope to join you someday. But for now, I will continue to live in my semi-hermetically sealed home until the ground thaws.

The wonder of fuel oil
W
inter has arrived and we are all heating our homes once again. With all of the talk of how plentiful natural gas is, we should have favorable heating expenses for the winter. The fuel oil folks, whose price is linked more closely to the price of crude oil, may not fare as well. It’s interesting to see how home heating methods have evolved over the years, with some of the old methods coming back in favor. When I was a child, our house had a gravity-fed fuel oil furnace without a blower motor. The house, built in the early 1900s, From the Publisher’s had grates in the ceiling on the ground floor for the warm air to rise Desk to the second story, but we truly never were warm upstairs. We used lots Tom Stangl of blankets to keep warm and would i and stand on the large grate directly come d downstairs above the furnace for as long as we could stand it to get warm in the chilly mornings. Occasionally, the fuel oil in the barrel located next to the house would run out. A telephone call to the tank wagon man, usually affiliated with the local gas station, would be made. Thankfully, these stout and friendly souls would venture out in any weather and make sure that we got the fuel we needed. Lighting the furnace, to us kids, was a grand adventure. First, the heavy grate would be pried open and leaned back. Then, the lid on the burning chamber, much like an old wood burning stove, would be pried off. The “tool” to be used in this exercise was a butter knife. “Can’t do the job without the right tools,” my father, the Chief, would always say, just before using a butter knife for everything from a pry bar to a screwdriver.

But I digress... After the lid was lifted, a lever would be turned to regulate the flow of fuel oil. We would watch in anticipation of the arrival of the thick, black substance. As soon as it entered the burn chamber, a tissue would be lit with a wooden kitchen match and the flaming tissue would be dropped, igniting the fuel oil. As a kid, it was an awesome sight to behold. My father and mother were mostly relieved that we would stay warm. Eventually, the furnace was replaced with a forced air natural gas furnace and a thermostat, something that had never existed in our home. For the rest of their lives, my mother and father fought over that thermostat. One would turn it up, the other would turn it down. The first home I owned had a fuel oil furnace, a huge cast iron behemoth that was converted from burning coal. I always liked the “heavy” heat of fuel oil, but soon realized that the furnace would need to be replaced. There was a single person in town that could repair the old cast iron monster, and he was not a young man. So, we put in a high efficiency propane furnace AND central air conditioning. It was wonderful! Now we have a natural gas furnace. Hopefully, it lasts for many years, but I have my doubts. Things don’t seem to last as long as those old cast iron fuel oil furnaces. And I still remember the heavy warmth and strange smell. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O.

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.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Remembering b i our veterans Thanks to all veterans for your committed service in protecting our country and our freedoms. Many restaurants and eateries across the map offered to veterans and spouse’s free meals throughout the day. Thank you all! My husband and I enjoyed an amazing meal at Wolf Creek Bar and Grill that was exceptional. Jean and Mike Spafford went way beyond anything anticipated to serve every veteran who entered their doors. So many groups and organizations have come together, in recent times, to recognize all members of the armed forces, to a greater degree than was ever the case in the past. Those veterans from the Vietnam era would have felt worthy just to have received a handshake for their service. Times have changed. Nancy Hess, Trade Lake
Improving health and saving money SENATOR JANET BEWLEY
You’re standing in line, waiting to check out, or you’re sitting at the diner enjoying your lunch and you overhear something. You didn’t mean to, but it happens to everybody. As an elected official, I have to be very careful, because in one sense I do want to know what my constituents are thinking, but on the other hand, we all need to respect each other’s privacy. What I overheard the other day was something that I feel the need to address, so I hope the person who said it gets the chance to read this. What I overheard was this – “I’ve stopped watching the news because I’m tired of the constant arguing between the democrats and republicans in Madison and in Washington.” I don’t blame the person for feeling that elected officials are unable to find common ground. That’s what makes the headlines. And while it is true that we have serious policy disagreements, the reality is that we do, more often than you would think, find ways to work together. Both the State Assembly and Senate were in session this week debating a host
of bills, the vast majority of which were passed unanimously in both houses. I am proud to be the second author on one of these bill, Senate Bill 380 (SB 380), which will make innovative telehealth services available to more Wisconsinites. The bill is the result of months of collaborative work with Senator Dale Kooyenga (R – Brookfield), Representative Amy Loudenbeck (R – Clinton), Representative Debra Kolste (D – Janesville), the Wisconsin Hospital Association and Governor Evers’ appointees at the Department of Health Services. Telehealth is one of the fastest-growing areas of healthcare today. Telehealth is the delivery of health care services remotely by means of telecommunications technology, but many of these service are not available to a significant segment of Wisconsin’s population. Telehealth does not replace an in-person visit, but rather enhances it and is only utilized when appropriate. Medicaid recipients and providers are currently unable to leverage telehealth’s true potential. Numerous studies, including Wisconsin’s own state employee health insurance program, have determined that creating access to
care through telehealth is a cost-effective strategy for the state’s Medicaid program. Once this bill becomes law, our Medicaid program will be able to cover telehealth the same Janet as in-person care when the quality of the care Bewley provided is functionally Wisconsin equivalent, increase the Senator number of telehealth-related services that are covered, cover in-home or community telehealth services and increase access to behavioral health via telehealth. Here in the North, where the nearest health care provider for some folks can be an hour or more away by car, this has the potential to improve health, save money and importantly, save time and reduce stress. That’s the story I wish the person I could hear on the news. While I often disagree with my colleagues, we can and do work together to find common ground. SB 380 is proof that it’s not all name calling and gridlock.
CAPITOL REPORT
Wisconsin members of Congress receive nearly $500K from industries they help regulate Wisconsin federal lawmakers this year received nearly half a million dollars from industries they help regulate, according to a WisPolitics.com review of campaign finance reports. The review, published Oct. 24, checked contributions received between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30 from corporate PACs against Wisconsin Congressmembers’ committee assignments to examine if companies influenced by the panels financially supported the campaigns of its members. It found three-quarters of the $495,000 total from corporate PACs comes from contributions to two Republicans responsible for writing laws that govern financial institutions and the insurance market: U.S. Reps. Bryan Steil of Janesville; and Sean Duffy of Weston, who resigned his seat in mid-September. Funds donated to U.S. Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, and Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, and U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Green Bay, rounded out the remaining 25%. Reps. Glenn Grothman, R-Glenbeulah, Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, Ron Kind, D-La Crosse, and Mark Pocan, D-Town of Vermont sit on panels with jurisdiction too broad to explicitly link contributions to policy decisions or on committees that deal with functions of government, not the private sector. Grothman, for example, is a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is charged with conducting investigations into government malfeasance, and the Education and Labor Committee, the latter of which reaches into nearly every aspect of private-sector business. Similarly, Moore and Kind sit on the powerful Ways and Means Committee which has jurisdiction over “all taxation, tariffs, and other revenue-raising measures,” a broad mandate that affects nearly all lines of work. Steil is a member of the House Financial Services Committee, which develops policy that governs banks and insurance companies, while Duffy sat on the committee while he was in Congress. Steil raised $240,250 from PACs representing businesses in the financial services and insurance industries, a total that is just under a fifth of the cash he has pulled in so far this year. Under FEC guidelines, candidates can receive up to $5,000 for an election, with primaries and generals counting separately. Under those restrictions, PACS can donate up to $10,000 to a candidate’s committee each election cycle.
An FEC spokesman told WisPolitics.com are no legal restrictions on lawmakers receiving donations from PACs that represent industries they play a role in regulating. Still, a spokesman for the Center for Responsive Politics said such fundraising raised ethical questions and added providing transparency to campaign finance was “the reason we exist.” But when quizzed by WisPolitics.com about potential ethical issues, Steil defended the haul. “Employers like Northwestern Mutual, American Family, Sentry, and Accuity provide thousands of family-supporting jobs in Southeast Wisconsin and I am proud to have the support of so many people working there,” he said in a statement. Steil has so far received: $9,500 from the Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers; $7,000 from Northwestern Mutual and Goldman Sachs; and $6,000 from Ally Bank, New York Life Insurance company and the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors. The Janesville Republican also received $12,000 from the accounting firm Ernst & Young this year, though $5,000 of that total was specifically earmarked for paying off debt the Steil campaign accrued during the 2018 cycle. Duffy, meanwhile, received $130,500 this year from financial and insurance PACS, which represents roughly 16% of his total fundraising haul. He received $5,000 each from Capital One, Experian, Liberty Mutual Insurance and Experian, among others. For comparison, freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton of Virginia, who sits on the Financial Services Committee, pulled in $58,500 from PACs representing banks and insurance companies, which represents 4% of her total fundraising effort this year. Other freshmen on the committee, such as U.S. Reps. Dean Phillips of Minnesota and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, did not have PAC contributions from financial institutions or insurance companies. Still, some of the top financial services PACs also made sizeable contributions to the Wisconsin delegation’s Democrats. Kind received $25,000 from Steil’s top 10 financial and insurance donors, including $5,000 from Ernst & Young, $4,500 from Northwestern Mutual and $5,000 from New York Life, among others.
Moore received $15,500 from those 10 donors, including $5,000 from Northwestern Mutual, $2,500 from Ernst & Young and $1,000 from Goldman Sachs. Rep. Mike Gallagher — who sits on the Armed Services and Transportation and Infrastructure committees — received the next highest total, pulling in $85,750 from companies under the jurisdiction of those two panels. On the Armed Services side, Gallagher received $37,250 in contributions, including the maximum $10,000 from Raytheon, $6,000 from Lockheed Martin and $5,500 from Northrop Grumman. He also received $48,000 from companies that are regulated by legislation crafted in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. On the other side of the U.S. Capitol, only one of the four committees Johnson sits on plays a role in regulating private industry. The WisPolitics.com review found the Oshkosh Republican received $29,000 from PACs representing industries with business before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. That included donations of $10,000 from the National Star Route Mail Contractors Association, $5,000 from Delta Airlines and $4,500 from the FAA Managers Association. Baldwin also sits on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and raised $3,000 from three separate $1,000 donations from industry-aligned PACs. The Madison Democrat — who also sits on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee — raised $6,500 from PACs representing medical groups, including $2,000 from the American Chiropractic Association and $1,500 American College of Surgeons Professional Association. Johnson’s haul represents 26% of the funds he has raised so far this year. For Baldwin, the total is less than 1%. A spokesman for Johnson’s campaign replied “no” when asked by WisPolitics.com if it was problematic, ethically or otherwise, for a quarter of the senator’s campaign funds raised this year to come from industries he plays a role in regulating.

Norine disciplined by ‘Nuisance property’ owner Minnesota Court cited for drug related offenses JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
Former Burnett County District Attorney William Norine is still facing scrutiny after creating conflicts of interest with defendants in Burnett County even though he may not have been prosecuting their case. Norine served Burnett County for almost ten years from 2008 to August 2018. He resigned from the position at that time, Norine then a few months llater t a television t l i i news broadcasted a story alleging Norine had asked female defendants out on dates. Now it’s a public reprimand from the Minnesota Supreme Court. This week the Minnesota Supreme Court has publicly reprimanded Norine and issued him a fine of $900 in costs pursuant to Minnesota Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (Rule 24, RLPR.) The Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) was in charge of the investigation in Wisconsin back in February. The OLR is an agency of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. They receive grievances relating to lawyer misconduct, conduct investigations, and prosecute violations of lawyer ethics rules. The public reprimand was written by Wisconsin Supreme Court Referee
Allan Beatty. “Norine, while serving as the District Attorney for Burnett County, communicated via Facebook to multiple women who had pending criminal cases in Burnett County. In these communications, Norine sought lunch, dinner or drink dates, used personal endearments and made improper inducements,” Beatty wrote. The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility in Minnesota filed a petition seeking disciplinary actions against Norine following the public reprimand by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The order was recently released and states Norine “sexually harassed women facing criminal charges in his county, although he was not personally prosecuting the matters, which created conflicts of interest from which he failed to withdraw.” It continues to state Norine was admitted to the Minnesota bar in 1987, however, Norine is not currently authorized to practice in Minnesota. He is on a voluntary-restricted continuing-legal-education status and his registration status is inactive. Norine told the Court he has not practiced law in Minnesota for almost 11 years. He also told the Court he has no plans to practice law in the state in the future and intends to resign from the Minnesota bar when this matter concludes.

GRANTSBURG––Burnett County law enforcement agents executed a search warrant in Grantsburg at a home known for being a nuisance property. Andrew A. Alden, 38, Grantsburg, has been charged with possession of meth and maintaining a drug trafficking place, both felonies, and possession of drug paraphernalia, receiving stolen properAlden ty (<$2,500.) A di tto the t police report, officers According met and formed a plan for the search warrant Sept. 16 of 420 N. Pine Street in Grantsburg. The front door was partially open and officers kicked the door the rest of the way open. Alden was inside the home and was placed in handcuffs and escorted to a patrol vehicle. The search warrant states police were looking for drugs, drug paraphernalia, drug ledgers, electronic devices and currency related to possession or sale of illegal drugs. Alden told authorities there was “nothing in the house” and if they found
anything in the house it belonged to his “ex-girlfriends.” While searching the home, officers allegedly found a plastic baggie with a small amount of crystalized substance that later tested positive for methamphetamine. There was also a cut straw allegedly found in the home with methamphetamine residue on it and a number of pipes “used to consume illegal drugs.” Last year this home was the topic of many discussions. There were allegations of methamphetamine being used and even possibly made on the premise. Those allegations were made at Grantsburg Village Board meetings by neighbors of the property. Concerned citizens put together a petition last year which gathered 135 signatures. They were hoping the board would support them in getting Alden evicted from his Grantsburg home. However, the board had no power to evict any home owner in the village. Alden was charged with civil public nuisance last year and in Nov. pleaded no contest to the charge and was fined $114.50. Alden is scheduled to be back in court for his preliminary hearing Dec. 9 in front of Judge Melissia Mogen.

GOVERNMENT CENTER––The fines for illegally transporting aquatic invasive species will be going up thanks in part to a group of citizens that said the fines were too low. The resolution passed with no opposing votes at the Natural Resources committee recently. With zebra mussels already in the McKenzie chain of lakes, the land and water conservation services have been doing a lot to educate the public about these species. Last year various associations began setting up decontamination stations to clean off boats or any boating equipment including kayaks and trailers. That equipment or any other watercraft is not to enter a lake if “aquatic plants, terrestrial plants, or aquatic animals are attached.” The previous fine for first offense was no more than $25. A group earlier this

Now the fines will increase across the board. First offense will now be at least $125 and will not exceed $225 and second will be between $250 and $350. The third offense will now be a minimum of $350 and will not exceed $450.

McNally welcomes uniformed visitor JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
GRANTSBURG––McNally Industries welcomes many visitors throughout the year to their facility to show and explain to people all the things they do with the military. They welcomed Captain Michael S. Sidman to the facility in Grantsburg last week for a presentation on the McNally company, what they produce and a walk-through tour of the main facility along with the new Enterprise 2.1 building. During the presentation, Sidman recognized several weapon systems from his time overseas. He admitted he was new and still learning what all goes into various weapon systems. He also got a first-hand look at the mortar systems McNally manufactures. This includes the 60mm, 81mm and 120mm. At the end of the tour, Sidman was very grateful to everyone at McNally’s.

Staff attends personalized learning conference JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
WEBSTER––A group of teachers and administrators recently returned from a conference where the main topic was personalized learning. The iNACOL Symposium was held over the last week in October in Palm Springs, Calif. Elementary school counselor Gracie Billings, high school language arts teacher Travis Pyke, Title I/ resource reading specialist Kari Roppe, middle school principal Pamela Peterson and Webster superintendent Jim Erickson were all in attendance at the conference. Pyke explained to the board the major focus was on personalized learning. This technique aims to customize learning for each student and addresses their individual needs. “It was an awesome experience,” Pyke said. “A lot of information on personalized and blended learning to help schools, like ours, have a more personalized learning base for the students.”

She added that the process of transition entirely to personalized learning needs Travis Pyke the support of everyone in the Language Arts teacher district. “We all need to do the same book study,” Peterson said. “The teachers, board members, kitchen staff, bus drivers and students all need to do the same book study. Then we will all have a common language for a starting point.”

Republican joins state senate race State Representative Rob Stafsholt (R-New Richmond) announced his bid for the 10th State Senate district today at a number of events throughout the 10th Senate district. Stafsholt said voters deserve to have a State Senator who will fight for the interests of Northwestern Wisconsin, not Madison and Milwaukee. “My family’s roots run deep in St. Croix County where I have lived my entire life and learned the meaning of hard work and common-sense decision-making,� said Stafsholt. “I’m proud to be a fourth-generation farmer that still farms with my dad, and I also am co-owner of a successful small business in New Richmond. I’m also a father to my daughter Maggie who is the pride of my life. She is my real reason for running. I’m running to make sure Maggie’s generation has great jobs, a world-class education and a thriving economy right here in Northwestern Wisconsin. “As a State Representative, I was proud to work alongside leaders like Governor Scott Walker and Senator Sheila Harsdorf to usher in bold reforms which have saved taxpayers billions and made our economy strong. I will be a Senator who fights against job killing taxes and unnecessary regulations. I will fight for reforms which create jobs and economic development opportunities, lower our taxes on our hard-working families and protect our liberties and
values. I will use my proven experience to fight to get things done for OUR area in the State Senate.� Representative Rob Stafsholt serves on a number of important legislative committees, including the Assembly Committees on Colleges and Universities, Financial Institutions and Insurance. He also chairs the Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage Committee. Representative Stafsholt was recently hand-picked Stafsholt by the Speaker of the State Assembly to serve on the Speaker’s Task Force on Adoption and the Speaker’s Task Force on Suicide Prevention. Stafsholt is a member of the Farm Bureau, National Rifle Association, Wisconsin Corn Growers, New Richmond Chamber of Commerce and the Sportsmen’s Alliance. He is also a former member of the Erin Prairie Township Planning Commission and the Wisconsin Association of Mortgage Brokers. Stafsholt is scheduled to have an announcement event at Brickfield Brewery in Grantsburg Wednesday, Nov. 20. It will be his fifth and final stop across the district. The 10th State Senate District consists of parts of Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk and St. Croix Counties.

The participants in the pageant were Chris Oachs, Larry Krueger, Dan Tricker, Josh Nesgoda, Ken Haaf, Shaune Macho, Brenin Stevens and Dan Edaburn. Chris Oachs stole the show during the talent

Oh deer! Hunting season is near APRIL ZIEMER EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM
For some deer hunters it is tall tale season, but for all it is White Tail rifle season. The traditional nineday gun deer season opens annually on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. In 2019, the hunt occurs Nov. 23 to Dec. 1. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said 2019 Wisconsin deer hunting seasons are shaping up to be excellent. There is an estimated 1.8 million deer on the landscape statewide. The addition of more and longer hunting times, along with an abundance of antlerless harvest hunts, makes for greater opportunities for those on the pursuit of a ten-point-buck. Speaking of those points, just how are they counted?

The most commonly used scoring system for giving recognition to exceptional North American big-game animals is the Boone and Crockett (B&C) system. Avid hunters have always recorded the sizes and measurements of racks on the deer they killed. This helped them remember how big the animals were and compare them to bucks shot by others. But without one universal way to measure and tally rack sizes, many hunters argued which bucks truly were the biggest. The B &C Club is a nonprofit organization of biggame hunters founded in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt. In 1949, B&C committee members took on the task of creating a comprehensive, equitable and objective measurement system intended to give recognition to exceptional North American big game animals. Their efforts resulted in the Boone and Crockett scoring system. Points are determined on each antler by counting. A point must be at least 1-inch long to be considered a true point. Measure the antlers from tip to tip to determine the spread. Start at the inside of the left main beam and measure to the inside of the right main beam. There are plenty of antlers to be counted this season, along with a great number of Does. Despite some areas of deep snow and cold temperatures across northern areas of the state, Wisconsin’s winter didn’t really settle in until late January in 2019. While some

winter losses are experienced every year, the DNR does not feel they were not known to be significant, making the 2019 fall outlook excellent. According to the DNR, for the first time in 10 years, no deer management unit will be restricted to buck-only deer seasons, and even the far northern counties have at least some limited antlerless hunting opportunities. County Deer Advisory Councils (CDACs), in the Farmland Zones especially, are struggling to bring deer populations down to socially and biologically acceptable levels. Many counties have made multiple antlerless harvest authorizations available, including them with each deer-hunting license. Many hunters have a secret or lucky spot for finding their prized deer. Groups may hunker down at deer camp or a hunter may have a stand set up on their own land. If you are looking for a hunting location, there are various sources to use. The Hunt Wild Wisconsin app is one way. According to the DNR, the Hunt Wild Wisconsin mobile app has everything hunters need, all in one place so they can focus on what’s really important – enjoying the Wisconsin outdoors. Search “Hunt Wild Wisconsin� in the iTunes app store or Goolge’s Play store on your mobile device. Another options is a Public Access Lands Atlas. Those in search of public grounds this fall are reminded to check out the DNR Public Access Lands atlas. The atlas includes all DNR properties, as well as nearly all federal and county-owned lands. Hunters are reminded to contact landowners beforehand to verify that hunting is allowed on a given property. You can download and print these maps free of charge. If you are looking for more information on the 2019 deer-hunting season, visit dnr.wi.gov, keyword “deer.� Hunters are encouraged to check out the Frequently Asked Questions for additional information where documents provide brief responses to a wide variety of deer hunting questions, ranging from Deer Management Unit boundaries to antlerless deer harvest authorizations.

Local processors participate in the 2019 Deer Donation Program! Each year, hunters, meat processors, and food pantries help families in need by working closely with the Wisconsin DNR and its partners including: county land and water conservation departments, food pantries, charitable organizations, Hunt for the Hungry, and USDA-Wildlife Services who all help to implement and administer the program. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Deer Donation Program, and to celebrate, hunters who donate a deer will receive a commemorative ball cap while supplies last. The deer donation program helps those in need by providing an opportunity for hunters to donate their deer. The venison from donated deer is processed and distributed to food pantries across the state. Since the program began in 2000, hunters have donated over 90,000 deer which were processed into over 3.7 million pounds of ground venison for the hungry. HOW TO DONATE YOUR DEER Hunters, you can help feed people in need throughout Wisconsin by taking 5 simple steps. Donate any legally harvested deer from Wisconsin by dropping it off at a
METRO
participating meat processor by February 1, 2020. Deer harvested outside of Wisconsin cannot be donated through the Wisconsin deer donation program. Prior to donating, field dress the deer, register it and write your registration confirmation number down. You will need the registration confirmation number handy in order to fill out the hunter donation log sheet that the meat processor maintains. Call first! Contact one of the participating processors before dropping the deer off to verify the processor has
space to accept your deer. Donate the entire deer to receive the processing for free. (Head and/or antlers may be removed for mounting.) Please handle the carcass as if it were destined for your own table. A couple bags of ice placed in the cavity will help preserve the carcass in warm weather. When dropping your deer off at a processor, please complete the log sheet indicating your desire to donate the deer. We’ll do the rest. The donated deer will be processed, and the venison will be distributed to charitable organizations to help feed Wisconsin’s needy. We are very thankful for two local meat processors in Burnett County who are participating in the program. The two processors are: Lock and Load, Sam & Ryan Asklund , 21125 E River Road, Grantsburg, WI, (715) 488-2931 Lock and Load has been processing donated venison for the program since 2006! We are very thankful for Lock & Loads 13 years of participation and still going! We are very excited to have a NEW processor in Burnett County this year that also has generously offered to enroll into the program. Our new meat processor is:
Block & Cleaver Artisan Meats, Adrian Dykstra, 7991 1st Street, Siren, WI 54872, (715) 349-7282 All of the donated venison that has been processed has been given to local food shelves. Our food shelves have told us how extremely appreciative they are to have this venison available to the people in need, right here in our communities. If you would like more information about the Burnett County Wildlife Damage Program or the Wisconsin Deer Donation Program you can contact Cindy Blonk at Burnett County Land Services (715) 349-2109 or on the Wisconsin DNR website.

SCHOOL BOARD: Resolution will be adressed ‘at a later date’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
signed in favor of endorsing the resolution. At the October Siren school board meeting, the board’s vote was 3-4, not giving enough votes to sign in favor of the resolution. This brought anger and disgust to Native Americans within the community. The Siren school district has approximately 473 students and at least 127 identify as being Native American. These numbers do not include the children in Head Start. At the most recent board meeting, some members of the Native American community in Siren came to speak with the board about their decision and how it has affected them and the community they live in. Katrina Decorah, a graduate from Siren High School told the board that she was very hurt and disgusted by their comments that they made during the last board meeting. Decorah was appalled that Susie Imme, a school board member, did not know the history behind blackface and the racist meaning it holds. Most of the schools that still support Native American mascots lacks education on the history behind the Native people that they are supposedly honoring. She said that the board is supposed to speak for all students. “Based on what was said and your actions, I don’t feel comfortable that you have the students’ of color best interest at heart.” To Mark Pettis, another member of the school board, Decorah stated that his opinions of the Osceola school district should not be more important than the Siren Native students that he is supposed to be representing. She does not feel comfortable that he sits on the school board and has the Native’s best interest at heart. “Your (school board’s) words turned into something completely ugly and
brought hate and anger to our community. Your actions affect everybody in this community, I hope you don’t forget that,” was Decorah’s ending statement to the board members. Melissa Fowler was the next person to speak to the board- her husband is a St. Croix Tribal Council Member. She said she was happy that so many Native people showed up at the board meeting to speak on their own behalf. She said what happened at the last board meeting was disgusting. It created a large division in the community- it has become Natives against non-Natives. “If I don’t see significant progress soon, besides I’m sorry, I’m going to urge parents and I’m going to urge tribe members to stop investing in this community because it is wrong.” Butler stated that the fact that the board made their decision without even speaking to their own Native students and community members was absolutely disgraceful. “How can our kids thrive in a school environment where they don’t even feel that they can trust their own staff anymore? They can’t trust the school board because you guys are not making the decisions in the best interest of them.” Another Native member that spoke to the board was a current senior at the Siren High School. She is graduating this year with her twin sister and 15 other indigenous students. “I just want to say I am disgusted by this. You guys are doing very outdated racist things, that’s not how I want my senior year to start or end.” After the public comments were completed, Imme spoke on behalf of herself and not of the board on her decision at the previous board meeting. She told the Natives in attendance that after receiving feedback of their decision, she wanted to learn more. Imme said that the resolution does not directly affect the Siren school district- They do not
have a Native American mascot and she does not believe that school districts should be legislated by other school districts. Imme said that if changing their mascot was up for discussion, then she would want all of the residents, current students, alumni and the district have the right to decide. She then agreed with Fowler that nobody was consulted, and they should have been. Everybody should have a voice. In her research, Imme learned that not all Native Americans are united in opposition to mascots as long as it is done in a respectful and tasteful manner. “Clearly there are derogatory terms that should never be used. Many Native Americans believe that banning all Native imaging is a missed opportunity for culture exchange and education.” She brought along with her some supporting information if anyone in the room wanted to look at it. Imme then ended by saying that the Native American students are underrepresented on the board and she urges the Native American community to seek board positions. During the president’s report, Peggy Moore gave a statement on behalf of the school district. There was a public request to the board that a board member be removed from office, but Moore said that school boards do not have any authority under Wisconsin law to remove a board member. They can only be removed by a court or legal cause. She then stated that because of the negative feedback, the board directed Dr. Shetler, the district’s superintendent, to get more information on the mascot resolution and he will be providing the board members with packets of information to study. The resolution will be brought back up at a policy meeting at a later date.

girls heading to WITC for a workshop on manners, etiquette and other job things. This year there were experts on a number of different topics including the medical field, teaching, social work, armed forces and manufacturing. Students are encouraged to ask the experts all the questions they can think of. The goal is for students to ask professionals about their jobs along with the good, bad and ugly of the career. The event has been going on for many years with a similar Men of Tomorrow event in the spring. State Senator Patty Schachtner was the guest speaker this year. She spoke about the various jobs she had over the years. She told the students to never stop growing. “The minute you stop learning is when people will start passing you by,” Schachtner said. “Just remember learn, learn, learn.” She also said there will be things along the path where the answer isn’t obvious. “The biggest thing I can tell you is don’t be a jerk,” Schachtner said. “It doesn’t hurt to be nice and doors open up to kindness.” This year’s Women of Tomorrow event was sponsored by Indianhead Credit Union and T-Dawgs Bar & Grill.

Senator Schachtner’s legislation supporting youth and first responders passes Senate MADISON – Today, several critical pieces of legislation co-authored by Senator Patty Schachtner passed through the State Senate. “For the people of Northwestern Wisconsin, these bills are critical to supporting our youth, our law enforcement, and ensuring that all of our neighbors can access the healthcare and the EMS services they need. I’m committed to continuing to fight alongside Senator the people of our Schachtner communities to get the resources we need to build up our infrastructure and ensure public safety,” said Senator Patty Schachtner.
‘I’m committed to continuing to fight alongside the people of our communities to get the resources we need to build up our infrastructure and ensure public safety.’ Patty Schachtner Senator Senate Bill 380 will ensure that telehealth is covered under Medicaid to ensure that those important services rendered from afar are treated the same as in-person services. This important piece of legislation will also allow
Medicaid to reimburse for home or community-based care. The Next Generation 9-1-1 legislation will for allow for a grant program that can support our local municipalities in their efforts to improve 9-1-1 system interoperability, response times and location data, and provide better overall service to citizens. Senate Bill 465 will allow the Department of Military Affairs to utilize $3 million in federal funding that they have already received for this purpose. The Safe Harbor for Trafficked Youth bill, Senate Bill 49, would ensure that children that are being trafficked and sexually exploited cannot be charged with the crime of prostitution. Currently, children can be re-victimized and charged with a crime they never consented to commit.

Wisconsin deer stands damaged; animal rights group suspected NEW RICHMOND— Authorities suspect animal welfare activists are behind the vandalism of several deer stands in western Wisconsin. The damaged stands have been seen in Dunn, Barron and St. Croix counties. Scott McDermott in New Richmond says the stilts of his stand were cut in half. The words “The hunters will be hunted� were painted on the stand. McDermott tells KARE-TV that that made him angry, and he doesn’t understand why someone would damage property. Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald says there may be a possible connection to the Animal Liberation Front. The damage includes the spray-painted letters A.L.F. The group says on its website that it destroyed 10 stands. In a statement, it says it’s more effective when it strikes directly at those who “murder our nonhuman relatives� than when its members hold signs in protest.

On any given day, there are over 5,000 people in Wisconsin without a place to call home. They are sleeping in shelters, in cars, under bridges, in caves and in storage units. Some may be sleeping in transitional living projects. Homelessness is a statewide issue, affecting every county in Wisconsin. Of those 5,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night, 67% are located in a county other that Racine, Dane, and Milwaukee (which are the largest population areas). Rural areas have unique challenges to addressing homelessness. Services are difficult to access due to a lack of transportation and distance. Where there are emergency shelters, they may be small and at capacity. The use of homeless vouchers is based on limited community-based funding and availability of motels. However, rural Wisconsin does offer many unique partnerships to assist homeless families with housing as well as skills to move them out of poverty. For example, the state funds local providers to offer homeless services and perform outreach to clients who are homeless. Services include, emergency shelters, one time rent assistance, short term supportive housing, permanent supportive housing, utility payments, transitional housing and assistance in accessing other mainstream resources. In addition, private donors and private foundations offer additional funds to provide the needed case management to assist clients in maintaining housing stability. Locally, in Burnett County, the Faith House Shelter serves homeless persons. Last year, Faith House provided almost 2,000 nights of peaceful sleep to the homeless in Burnett County. Faith House Shelter is located in Siren and can house two homeless families at any given time. The shelter remains full. Faith House also helps in providing case management to programs like permanent supportive housing and transitional housing programs. To learn more about our local homeless shelter and the programs Faith House offers, visit www.safaithhouse.org or follow the Burnett County Salvation Army on Facebook. This is the season where you can give to help. The local Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign begins November 15th. Sign up to help the Salvation Army raise funds for their efforts to help the homeless. Sign up at www.registertoring.com or by calling 715-497-4438.

The crossbow dilemma AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS
Hello friends, This week’s column will come out just before Wisconsin’s deer gun season opens and my guess is that it will start a few conversations at deer camps throughout the state. Until this fall, I have never given a moment’s thought to using a crossbow to hunt whitetail deer and this past October I had something happen on the final day of an eight-day bow hunt that has me doing some thinking. I was in a tree on a remote canoe, hunting and camping trip, it was 22-degrees and a good buck offered me a 12-yard, broadside shot. I had been in the tree for about an hour and a half and thought I was totally fine. I was just about halfway back on my draw at a buck that had no idea of what was happening when something in my shoulder locked up and for maybe five seconds, I could not pull my bow back any further. The buck did not figure out what was happening but realized something was wrong and casually left the area. I am 58-years old and I can take pain, cold and fatigue. Not much scares me and I did not miss a morning or afternoon in a tree on that adventure.
SUBMITTED
Enjoy your deer camp and try to be open minded! That night I was cooking my dinner in my tent and I was reading Midwest Game and Fish which is an excellent outdoor magazine. I just happened to read that during the 2018 hunting season, crossbow hunters in Wisconsin harvested 46,750 whitetail deer while vertical bow hunters took 40,055. The job I have as an outdoor writer in the newspaper industry has me all over Wisconsin on a weekly basis, generally living out of a tent and chasing just about anything that flies, swims or runs. I was never comfortable shooting over 28-yards at a deer with my bow while on a platform 15-feet up in a tree. Now for the first time in my life I am starting to think that at least in the cold season I may take up hunting deer with a crossbow. I have noticed both young and older hunters are taking on an energy for hunting, or as in the case of many of the guys and gals over 50, they are hunting deeper into life.
SUBMITTED
Again, I want to stress I had given owning and hunting with a crossbow zero thought until that experience with the buck, but now I think about all of the young kids that cannot pull back a vertical bow. I think of all the folks with some form of health issue where pulling a vertical bow back is impossible. I think about hunting in November and December and how many more opportunities a hunter would have to hit the woods. As long as you can only harvest one buck whether it is with a vertical bow or crossbow, I think in a time of declining outdoorsmen and women in the
woods, making it legal to hunt deer with a crossbow is good for just about everyone. Playing the devil’s advocate, I have been having this discussion with plenty of hunters that have made the switch and some of them tell me the thrill is gone! For myself, I eat venison at least twice a week for the last 58-years and I love it. My game has always been making it hard on myself whether it is living out of a canoe, sleeping on the ice or working with an empty wallet. If I make the switch, I will keep playing hardball with myself and have a blast with the crossbow. Enjoy your deer camp and try to be open minded! Sunset.

Pirates second in conference despite early struggles SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG – The 2019 season presented a “different kind of challenge” for the Grantsburg football team. In a rarity for the program, the Pirates had to overcome an early-season losing streak with a revamped roster to eventually return to the playoffs, which was a victory on its own. “We got off to a very slow start but learned a ton about ourselves in those first few weeks,” Grantsburg coach Adam Hale said. “When we were 1-3 we could have folded-up, but we stayed a tight-knit group.” Grantsburg finished with a 6-4 overall record and was second in the Lakeland Conference despite the early struggles. The Pirates followed a season-opening win over Amery with three consecutive losses, which hadn’t happened in Grantsburg since 2013. But a 13-12 win over Clear Lake sparked a five-game win streak to end the regular season. That stretch included a pair of 40-point games to get the offense back on track. “We had to put guys in different spots and adjust our plays,” Hale said. “Guys got better and we changed things around. “Players stepped into new positions and some were on JV just a year earlier but were starting on varsity and contributing.” Hale said the win over Lake Holcombe-Cornell to end the regular season was a statement win for the 2019 season and was the final step in securing a playoff spot. “That win in the last game of the sea-

son over Lake Holcombe, who was a few seconds form being conference champs, was a huge win,” he said. “Going from 1-3 to beating (Lake Holcombe-Cornell) by a couple touchdowns was a great turnaround.” The season officially ended with a second loss to Unity, which won the
Lakeland Conference for the first time in 21 years. Meanwhile, it seemed the Pirates changed roles with the Eagles, becoming the team on the chase rather than in the lead. “The last four years it was expected that we shouldn’t lose a game,” Hale said. “We knew we’d be a playoff team
(each season), but it was a matter of winning the conference title. But this season it was a matter of whether we made the playoffs or not.” The Pirates may have a more predictable 2020 season by returning starters at key positions from 2019. Sterling McKinley completed 103 of his 200 pass attempts for 1,220 yards and 12 touchdowns in his junior season while freshman Isaac Quimby led the run game with 752 yards and six touchdowns on 148 carries. Aidan Burkman – a sophomore – was second on the team with 380 yards rushing and five touchdowns on 51 carries. Another sophomore – Zach Miller – led the team with 25 catches for 484 yards and four touchdowns. Though the team will lose Reed Arnold, who had a team-high 90 tackles as a senior and was second on the team with 22 catches for 304 yards and six touchdowns on offense. The Pirates also will lose Dane Jensen, who had a team-high six interceptions. “The main difficulty for 2020 will again be depth,” Hale said. “If you lose a few guys, you’re really in trouble. But we have all five linemen who started games at the end of the season, coming back. If we can keep getting stronger and better in the offseason, I think we’ll be in good shape.” Other seniors who’ve played their final game for Grantsburg include Garrett Johnson, Levi Miller, Ben Berglund, Austin Louis and Sam Turenne.
Quimby signs with Winona State University SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG – Greg Jones had scouting assistance from two trustworthy people. A softball schedule with more than 50 games over a few-month span doesn’t often allow the Winona State University coach to take road trips for scouting potential recruits for the successful program he oversees. So out of trust and necessity, Jones relied on people familiar with Grantsburg when it came to recruiting one of the Pirates. “With a lot of kids, we see them on video or in-person once or twice while recruiting,” Jones said. “In this case, the longest conversation was with Molly Bjelland – someone who coached at this level and SEE QUIMBY, PAGE 17

SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG – Area volleyball teams posted a double-digit total of players recognized in all-conference selections in the Lakeland West for 2019. Grantsburg, Webster and Siren each had multiple players selected as either first-team, second-team or honorable mentions for the recently-completed season. The Pirates, who finished second in the conference with a 10-2 mark and were 30-6 overall on the season, had five players chosen for either the first or second team. Senior Olivia Ohnstad and sophomore Hanne Johnson earned first-team status for Grantsburg. Johnson led the team with 384 kills while adding 27 aces, 49 blocks, 380 digs and 366 assists. Ohnstad was second on the team for both kills (300) and blocks (58) and had 361 digs. Webster junior Summer Winkler was the Tigers’ lone first-team selection after leading the team with 230 kills and 40 blocks. She also ranked second in digs (202) and third in aces (32) for the Tigers. Three of the Pirates’ seniors were included in second-team selections. Ellie Duncan led the team with 495 assists and 51 aces; Brooke Quimby led the team with 69 blocks and had 139 kills with 26 aces while Raisa Jensen had a team-high 392 digs and 27 aces. Webster and Siren accounted for five of the eight players given honorable mentions. Senior Kaitlyn Lee led the Tigers with 358 assists and had 170 digs; junior Brooke Hetfeld was second on the team with 194 kills and 33 blocks while fellow junior Hannah Janssen ranked second in assists (351) for Webster. Two of Siren’s seniors – Rylee O’Brien and Karlee Sybers – also were honorable mentions.

11-Man All-Conference selections SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG – Postseason appearances for both the Grantsburg and Webster football teams were accompanied by all-conference designation for players on each team. In the 2019 selections for the Lakeland Conference, the Pirates had five players
selected on offense and six on defense while the Tigers had four picks on both sides of the ball. Grantsburg’s lone firstteam selection was junior offensive lineman Ike Lee; three teammates were selected for second-team status. Sophomore running back Isaac Quimby led the Pirates’ rushing

was part of our program (at Winona State) – and her father Don (Bjelland), who still coaches (Grantsburg). “They really kept us on board.” And that helped Emma Quimby come aboard the WSU softball program. Quimby – a senior infielder for the Pirates – committed to play for Jones at Winona State last week, when recruiting classes became official. Those annual groups have become larger over the span of Jones’ 20 years as coach at WSU. “The better we’ve gotten program-wise, our recruiting classes got a bit bigger,” Jones said. “Instead of trying to specifically fill this position or that position, now it’s getting the best athletes and finding the right fit for them. “Winning is 90 percent culture and 10 percent talent and for us that means getting high-energy kids and multi-dimensional kids. Emma really checked all those boxes for us.” Another check went next to performance in the batter’s box for Quimby. In 2019, she led the Pirates with a school-record .638 batting average to help garner all-conference, all-district and all-state recognition. And while

she did so playing second base at Grantsburg, Jones hopes Quimby will have that versatility to potentially play elsewhere in the field in order to get her offense in the lineup. As a perennial winning program, WSU already has a roster full of potential starters and most already have played at least a season with the program. Therefore, playing time can be dependent on filling an immediate need rather than waiting for a specific position to open. Winona State went 53-9 last year and had a 31-game win streak, along with a 30-0 record in the Northern Sun Intercol-
legiate Conference. Jones has guided many such successful seasons and collected more than 800 career coaching wins, including more than 300 in his two decades at WSU. And despite the existing talent on the roster, Jones said freshman contributions are not rare in his program. “There have been freshmen who’ve contributed and sometimes it comes in waves, with a whole bunch of freshmen playing one year and not so many playing in another,” Jones said. “We’ll probably have two freshmen starting for us next season (2020). All the kids on the team are capable of starting.” Until she reaches the campus at Winona State, Quimby has one remaining season of eligibility with the Pirates to make another playoff run and continue a few streaks. Grantsburg seeks its 15th consecutive conference title and 14th consecutive regional title. “The Winona State Softball Family is excited to welcome Emma,” Jones said. “She is an excellent defender whose work ethic will be a valuable asset to our program. Emma's athleticism and ability to contribute both offensively and defensively will give her a chance to compete immediately for us upon her arrival at Winona State."
8-Man All Conference selections SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SIREN – The Siren football team had playmakers on both sides of the ball in 2019. On their way to a runner-up finish in the Lakeland North for 8-player football, the Dragons’ quarterback and one of their defensive linemen were voted the conference’s best players on their given side of the ball. They were joined by several teammates who garnered all-conference recognition on the season. Quarterback Jordan Webster and lineman Gavyn Anton – both seniors – highlighted all-conference picks for the Dragons after leading them to a winning record and a postseason appearance. Webster earned status as the top offensive player for 2019 despite playing time being limited due to an injury. He still passed for 1,783 yards and 20 touchdowns for the Dragons, in addition to 76 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. “(Webster) finished his career with 58 touchdowns, which is third in Wisconsin 8-player history and is in the top 5 in yards with 3,752,” Siren coach
Russ Cook Jr.
Trevor Stanford
Ryan Karsten said. “Jordan was a leader in every aspect of the word.” Anton led the Dragons with 130 tackles on the season, including 22 for loss, along with seven sacks and a pair of fumble recoveries. He anchored a Siren defense that allowed just two touchdowns through the first four weeks of the season and just two more combined in the regular season’s final two games. “Gavyn had a great career as a Dragon,” Karsten said. “He was a force on both sides of the ball, but especially on the defensive side. He was the main focus for (opponents) to account for when they played us. I saw how hard he worked over the past six years and how that hard work paid-off for him in high school and hopefully over the next four years if he chooses to play college football.” Anton also was a first-team selection as an offensive lineman, joining Webster and two more teammates on the first-team offense. Senior running back Cordell Fischer rushed for 1,523 yards and 22 touchdowns and added 12 catches for 101 yards while senior receiver Trevor
Gavyn Anton
Jordan Webster
Stanford led the team with 73 catches for 1,110 yards and 12 touchdowns. Senior lineman Russell Cook and freshman Nick Webster were honorable mentions on offense; Webster passed for 269 yards and four touchdowns, rushed for 96 yards with a touchdown and had 16 catches for 262 yards and two more touchdowns. Fischer also joined Anton with first-team status, as a defensive back; he was second on the team with 96 tackles and three fumble recoveries. Stanford was a second-team selection on defense with 71 tackles and a team-high four interceptions. Senior Gage Holmes and junior Jimmy Krenzke were honorable mentions on defense; Holmes had 42 tackles for the Dragons and Krenzke had 55.

Hunters and firewood: Buy it where you burn it MADISON – Hunters, if the supply list for your trip up north this deer season includes firewood, cross it off right now. Instead, wait until you get there to buy it local, or pick up some certified firewood on the way. That’s because it is sometimes illegal and always a bad idea to move firewood from county to county, unless it’s certified by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Firewood can carry pests and diseases in the form of gypsy moth egg masses, emerald ash borer larvae and the fungus that causes oak wilt. It could even harbor pests and diseases we have not yet detected in Wisconsin. "Gypsy moth and emerald ash borer are two of the most destructive pests in North America," says Brian Kuhn, director of the Plant Industry Bureau in the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. "Gypsy moth poses a broad threat, attacking hundreds of different tree and shrub species. Emerald ash borers attack only ash trees in Wisconsin, but ash provides wildlife
habitat and other environmental benefits, lines the streets in many communities, and is one of our highest-value woods, accounting for many of our timber exports. It’s also culturally important to Native Americans. “Along with providing habitat for whitetail deer, our northern forests provide many jobs, both in the timber industry and tourism. And tree cover protects the soil, preventing erosion and runoff to lakes and streams. So, it protects water quality and fish habitat, too." Hardwood firewood cannot be carried legally from counties quarantined for gypsy moth to non-quarantined areas. Fifty counties in Wisconsin are quarantined for gypsy moth. A map showing the quarantined counties is available online at https://datcp. wi.gov/Documents/GMQuarantineMap.pdf. Even though all of Wisconsin is under quarantine for emerald ash borer, we have not detected the insect in the majority of the state’s forests. Moving firewood to these areas could accelerate the spread of emerald ash borer to uninfested
areas. The Department of Natural Resources prohibits bringing firewood onto state lands from more than 10 miles away, and the U.S. Forest Service prohibits bringing firewood into the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest from more than 25 miles away. The only exception to these prohibitions is for firewood that has been certified by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection as having been treated to destroy pests. Certified firewood is clearly labeled. A list of certified firewood dealers is available online at https://datcp.wi.gov/Documents/ CertifiedFirewoodDealers.pdf. Certified firewood is also often available at convenience stores and other places selling firewood. Remember: Buy firewood with the DATCP-certified label, or Gather or buy your firewood at your destination. Use all the firewood you obtain and don’t take any home with you, unless it is certified.

Lois Ruth Jarl Pardun
Edith A. Engelhart
Lois Ruth Jarl was born to Emil and Eleanor Jarl (Hahn) May 16, 1943, in Chicago,IL. After Emil’s tragic death in 1947, Eleanor and Lois moved to Des Plaines, IL. Lois graduated from Maine West High School in 1961. In 1965, L Lois graduated from MacM Murray College in Jacksonv ville, IL with a BA in Special Education. After tteaching in Brewster, NY ffor two years, Lois was a awarded a full fellowship to earn her Master of Arts d degree in Early Childhood S Special Education from the U University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. There, she met the love of her life, Gerald Pardun, whom she married on Dec. 21, 1968. Hired by Robbinsdale Public Schools, Lois became Minnesota’s first Birth to Age Six, Early Childhood Special Education teacher, even student teaching for herself! In 1973 Lois and Jerry welcomed daughter Kirsten and in 1976, her brother, Guy. The family split their time between Cottagewood in Deephaven, Minn., and Lake 26 in Danbury. They were active members of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Deephaven, where they made lifelong friendships. Lois volunteered in a variety of ways with church youth. A devoted mother to her children and their friends, she found the best in everyone and always had time to listen, a shoulder to cry on, and a hug to make it all better! She exuded warmth and love and made all feel welcome and special. An exceptionally talented teacher and a tireless advocate for, and champion of, those differently abled, Lois touched countless students’ and parents’ lives as she empowered her students to reach far beyond their potential. She especially loved her students with Down syndrome and made great strides in expanding ideas of capability and educational expectations for those with it. Upon her retirement in 1998, Lois and Jerry moved to Danbury permanently, spending most Christmases with the family in Mazatlan, MX and winters in South Padre Island, TX. Lois also enjoyed frequent travel with sister-in-law, Carol. Lois’ greatest passion and joy was her family! Whether hatching monarch butterflies, collecting shark teeth, riding Disney rollercoasters, reading Uncle Wiggly, nursing sick tummies, teaching VBS, traveling any and everywhere, cheering for soccer, hunting, riding, theatre and dance, hatching chicks, creating incredible Christmas ornaments or laughing at Minneapolis Children’s Theatre productions for which she always bought the grandkids season passes, beloved ‘Nana’ was an incredibly significant presence in her grandchildren’s lives! Deeply faithful, Lois went home to her Savior, Jesus Christ, on Oct. 30, 2019. She is survived by her dear husband of nearly 51 years, Jerry, her precious children Kirsten Pardun-Johannsen (Ryan Johannsen) and Guy (Lorena) Pardun, her cherished grandchildren Carter, Emmerson Eleanor Nora & Gerald ‘Jack’, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Ronald and Phyllis Pardun and Roland and Carol Pardun, best friend of 64 years, Sarahann and husband, Arno Weller, only cousins, Judith Tasch, Priscilla Freeman Larson and Kathy Freeman, 10 nieces and nephews, 23 great nieces and nephews, 19 great-great nieces and nephews, godchildren Chip, Chris and Meredith (Hughes) Weller.

Sharing faith and finding the clarity of Jesus
Tom Cook Associate Pastor Lewis Memorial, Siren, Grace and Danbury United Methodist Churches
Recently I was privileged to attend a training event for ministry with persons with dementia. I found it interesting and challenging. There were many ideas that were new to me and that made it interesting. There were ideas too that were contrary to the beliefs with which I had come. That made it challenging. One such idea was stated like this: “The person with dementia is right and you are wrong.” That didn’t make any sense at first but as we explored this strange concept, I began to see its wisdom. When I shared this with friends later, they responded immediately, “Of course it’s
their reality, and there is no way you can talk anyone out of that.” So, what do you do? Well, the answer is obvious and hidden in plain sight. You learn from this person what their reality looks like. Then you have the opportunity to share what your faith has to offer in that reality, what wisdom, what challenge, what comfort, what clarity Jesus has to offer. I think we all are at least a little short on knowing and in need of learning. So, this practice of learning from others has to be a lifelong practice. The apostle Paul wrote I Corinthians 2:2 “For I resolved to know

We would be wise to make this wisdom our practice as well, in all of our conversations, with family, with friends, with people we meet in organizations, in commerce, in church. Our faith has powerful wisdom and our God is with us as we learn from the reality in which God plunges us. And God has promised to give us the words we need to speak. May God bless your learning and your witness done in his loving Spirit.

Ohnstad were put among the top high school volleyball players in Wisconsin with the Wisconsin Volleyball Coaches Association’s all-state selections. Johnson was one of 10 Division 3 players given first-team status while Ohnstad was included in the 30 players designated as honorable mentions for the 2019 season. Johnson – one of the five underclassmen in the first-team selections – led the Pirates with 384 kills in just her second year of high school competition. She also was second on the team with 392 digs and 366 assists, while playing for her mother Deb Allaman-Johnson. “She works very hard, is humble and team-oriented,” the Grantsburg coach said. “Team success means more to her than individual accolades.” Ohnstad, meanwhile, appeared in all-state selections for the second
time, ranking second on the team with 300 kills and 58 blocks; she also was third in digs with 361. “(Ohnstad’s) presence will be missed,” Allaman-Johnson said. “She is a three-year starter, all-conference player and a two-time all-state player. She was a senior co-captain who provided
outstanding leadership, ethics, integrity and intensity.” The duo led the Pirates to a 30-6 overall record, a runner-up finish in the Lakeland West and multiple playoff wins in the recently-completed season that included a 10-match win streak.
