Rain, rain go away

Nirvana Dozens of muscle car enthusiasts crowded the Burnett County Airport Saturday for the fall Radar Run sponsored by Automotive Adventures. Car after car, like this 1969 Camaro, a few trucks, too, gave the clock their best shot on the 1/8-mile timed run — some vehicles topping 100 M.P.H.

BURNETT COUNTY—Unless you’ve been outof-county since early April, you know we have had our share of rainfall this spring and summer — and depending on who you talk to, we’ve had too much.

“Basically, it hasn’t stopped raining since late April,” Burnett County Conservationist Dave Ferris exclaimed. “We’ve had a significant amount of water.”

Significant, indeed.

One property owner near Webster has emptied almost 50 inches of water from his rain gauge since the last week of April.

Is that unusual?

“It is and it isn’t,” Ferris responded. “I’ve had people say they’ve never seen it higher but others who recall seeing similar levels.”

Ferris said more frequent rain has been a growing trend.

“During the shoulder seasons of 2014-15 and 201516, we have had significant rain,” he described. “By shoulder seasons, I mean after the vegetation stops drawing water in the fall and before green-up in the spring.”

With the long-range forecast calling for average precipitation, the next logical question is what can SEE RAIN, PAGE 6

County to straighten Co. Rd. H

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Construction is estimated to begin in June of 2018 but once complete, motorists in the Town of Rusk will have a safer route to travel when County Road H realignment plans were

announced at the county’s infrastructure meeting last week.

The ultimate goal, according to Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, is to ‘sweep out’ the existing curves, to make them more of a gradual curve instead of the tight curves they are today— as well as increasing the speed limits for

those curves.

To that end, the county will work with MSA Professional Services.

“We are looking at a two-phase proposal,” Jason DiPiazza, project manager for MSA, explained. “We want to collect data and start SEE CURVES, PAGE 2

Webster clears another hurdle in demolishing old school

WEBSTER—The when is still in question but the Webster Village Board took another step at its meeting Wednesday night in the demolition of the former high

school.

Board members agreed to pay $32,500 in management fees to MSA Professional Services for $690,000 worth of grants the village has secured for the project.

While an official estimate of the project is not available, Vite Con-

struction offered a preliminary estimate of $800,000 for the teardown. A solid estimate won’t be available until the project goes out for bid.

That’s obviously more than the

Dollar General Store developer requests tax increment financing

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Village Board will hold a special meeting, open to the public, at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29 to make a final decision whether to proceed with construction of a proposed Dollar General Store (DG) in Grantsburg.

Todd Platt, president of Platt Development Corporation of Appleton, met Sept.

7 with the village board’s administration and finance committee to request $100,000 of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) so that the project can go forward.

Platt said soil that had been added as fill at the proposed site along State Road 70 in Grantsburg is not suitable for construction and must be removed and replaced. Also, utilities will need to be extended farther than originally planned.

Without the TIF funding, Platt said the store won’t be built. He requested a decision no later than October 1.

Communities use TIF money to spark construction projects. Grantsburg has used previous TIF agreements to help fund Parker Hannifin Corporation and McNally Industries developments, and to create the village’s industrial park including site development, and adding utilities and extending streets.

Most recently, TIF funds helped finance the building owned by E&M Machine in Grantsburg Industrial Park.

Platt proposes to find his own source of funds for the loan, which he will hold and repay. The village of Grantsburg expects the building will generate about $14-15,000 in property taxes annually.

Under the TIF agreement, about $12,500 of the tax money collected will be used to pay off the $100,000 loan over eight years.

Once the loan is repaid, property tax dollars would then be shared among the village, county, school district and other entities that benefit from property taxes.

Platt’s company builds stores for DG Corporation, then leases them to DG. Platt said his company eventually sells the stores to private owners who continue the lease to DG. The DG Corporation does not own the store or land. Platt said the DG stores in Frederic and Siren are now privately owned and leased to DG corporation.

Platt said he has 23 more DG stores in various stages of planning and development, mostly in Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota, for the next construction season.

TIF money can be used only in designated TIF districts. The proposed DG construction site is in the village’s TIF District #4, which was created for the development of Gateway Mall, which includes T-Dawgs and Pizza Place restaurant, Ohnstad Physical Therapy, Edward Jones Investments, H&R Block and the Family Dollar Store.

STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

The Grantsburg Village Board will meet at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 29 to determine whether this property owned by Karl Anderson of Grantsburg along State Road 70 just east of the stoplight will be developed for a Dollar General Store.

While the village board meeting is open to the public, comments from the public are limited to a “public comments” time on the agenda and to those

who have previously requested and received board approval to address the board during the meeting.

looking at the design of the curves as well as curve alternatives in Phase I.” The big issue in Phase I is the wetlands delineation on the north curve.

“There’s no doubt the north curve will be the more challenging of the two,” he continued. “We want to meet on site with the DNR yet this fall so they can look at our delineation flags and let us know what will and will not be allowed.”

When it comes to Phase II, real estate acquisition will take center stage.

“The real kicker is the real estate process,” DiPiazza admitted. “In some rough estimates, the preliminary numbers look like we’ll spend $15,000 in real estate costs — buying property for right-of-way.”

That part of the process will begin in 2017 and spill into the following year.

Phase II will include a final road plan with construction set for June 2018.

The committee awarded the $12,000 bid for Phase I to MSA. As far as where the money will come from for this project, Nate Ehalt, county administrator, wasn’t too concerned.

“As commissioner, Mike has some discretion over budget items like this,” he said.

In other business: • Hoefs also updated the committee on the major highway construction projects for the summer — Co Rd. C and Co. Rd. B, also known as Stub B. “They are looking like they will both come in under budget,” he declared. “Co. Rd. C is paved and the ditches are restored, but it still needs to be lined and signed while paving on Stub B will begin this week.”

• Even though they didn’t have the updated document in front of them, the committee heard updates to the airport’s six-year plan on file with the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics.

“We’ve added some land-use issues on and around the airport property, a plan to replace the roof of the terminal building and our desire to build a snow-removal building,” Ehalt enumerated.

When questioned about what specific land-use is-

sues, as an example he said the Mina Copeland Head Start Daycare, which sits on Hwy. 35, is directly under a runway flightpath and it shouldn’t be — so the issue would be the possible removal of that business.

Ehalt also made the members aware of the fact North Memorial has signed a new 5-year lease for Hangar 22 and plans to continue its air ambulance service.

• The “Just Fix It — Turnout for Transportation” event, scheduled for Thurs. Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. in Room 160 of the government center, has been a poorly advertised affair, according to Hoefs.

According to the WI Department of Transportation, this unprecedented event will involve a meeting in 71 counties, with the counties of Ashland and Bayfield

holding a joint meeting, all on the same date and time.

The Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA) and the Wisconsin County Highway Association (WCHA) are leading the effort to conduct an interactive transportation “town hall” that includes all local officials at the county, town, and municipal level.

The town hall is meant to be an effort to generate support for solving the state’s transportation shortfall.

Meeting attendees will include county, city, village, and town officials as well as members of the public and will have a forum for their voices to be heard regarding critical highway projects and services in each region and the need for the state to find a sustainable solution.

NEWSLINE Where in the world is Centennial Pin No. 105?

WEBSTER—The winning centennial pin was purchased on July 2 by Jenny Harper of Redondo Beach, Calif. She and five members of her family were in Webster for a family reunion.

Harper bought five pins and distributed them among her relatives. When pins were sold to visitors from locations outside the local area, the numbers, names and phone numbers were recorded for contact purposes. It’s a good thing they were.

When Harper was notified, she knew someone in her family had the winning pin, but she had no idea who or where it was. Turns out her cousins, the Wicklunds, who live in Hawaii, hold the winning pin.

Wicklunds will do a rubbing of the pin

back with the number for proof, then email it to Burnett County Tourism Colation officials. They will verify it and send a check to the Wicklunds with instructions to take a “selfie” with the actual cash after the check is cashed, and send the image to BCTC for publication.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2016

So far, so good

The 2016 fantasy football season is off to another glorious run.

Elbow 32, my nom de plume in the fantasy world, has two undefeated weeks in the books.

I have two Green Bay Packers on my squad and while I don’t normally need any more incentive to cheer against the Minnesota Vikings, there I was on the floor in front of the TV Sunday night screaming for Aaron Rodgers to give the ball to Eddie Lacy or to throw to Randall Cobb.

That’s the one downside of fantasy — you’re so caught up in athletes on your team scoring points for you, you tend to lose sight of the game as a whole.

So while you’re glad that Stephen Gostkowski booted a 53Seems to yard field goal for the Patriots — extra points for you because the Me kick was longer than 50 yards, maybe not so good for the PaTodd Beckmann but triots as a touchdown is always better than a FG. And as you progress through the season, there’s more and more pressure to field the best team week-after-week.

Each team has eight active players (at least in our league) — a quarterback, two running backs, two receivers, a receiver or a running back, a kicker, and a team defense. Plus you have six players “on the bench.”

Do you play the best of the players you drafted before the season began, do you substitute players from your bench who are doing surprisingly well or do you go shopping for the best athletes for the coming contest?

I’ve played it all three ways and truth be told, I’m not sure which is best.

I do know that shopping for players on a weekly basis is a time-sapping endeavor.

And sitting at 2-0 makes one wonder if the team you have is that good or you just haven’t a faced a stiff enough challenge yet.

There are a couple of us breathing the rarefied air at the 2-0 mark — I’m sure it won’t last.

As commissioner (read: the guy in charge), I did go out on a limb this year.

The last two years we only had six players — each league can have up to 10.

I sold myself on the idea that with only six teams, that meant there’d be more quality players on the waiver wire — for example, if Rodgers was your QB and he got hurt, you could go shopping for a new QB and there’d be some quality fill-ins.

That is to say you wouldn’t get stuck with RGIII. But this year I wanted a larger league — I figured adding four teams would be biting off more than I could chew, but figured two more managers would be doable.

I asked several friends and colleagues, but no takers.

Finally, with two days to spare, I had eight signed up — the last two?

A pastor who writes an occasional church column for the paper and my boss.

I haven’t told the pastor this, but I’ve thought it on more than one occasion — no help from upstairs.

My boss, on the other hand, is another story.

He seems mild-mannered enough, but he has the power to fire me.

Can’t imagine I’d get fired because I whooped his butt in the virtual fantasy world (read: stranger things have happened) —but then I know a couple who called off their wedding after he beat her at Uno.

BURNETT COUNTY

So funny it hurts I have confessed several times to you, gentle reader, that I am a television junkie. I watch far too much and soak up bits of useless information.

Recently, I watched a couple of programs that had their merits, but I was struck by the profound difference 70 years makes in the way we are entertained.

From the I watched all 36 Publisher’s episodes of HBO’s “Deadwood,” a ficDesk tionalized portrayTom Stangl al of events in the South Dakota mining camp in 1876 and 1877. The show was wonderfully crafted by David Milch, who served as a writer on “Hill Street Blues” and “NYPD Blue.” There’s a large cast of characters with pithy and quick banter. If you remember “Hill Street Blues,” picture it set in the old west with plenty of corruption, violence, HBO-style language and nudity and you will have “Deadwood.”

The series ran from 2004-2006 and was canceled by HBO unexpectedly, much to the chagrin of its fans. Great performances from Ian McShane and Robin Weigert as the

nearly perpetually drunk Calamity Jane.

The use of obscenities, most notably the “f” word, is heavy. Someone actually counted the number of times it was used and came up with 2,980 times. In 36 one-hour segments, that equates to the use of the word 1.37 times a minute.

Way too much.

The show made me laugh numerous times and the characters were layered and complex, something that isn’t seen too much on television anymore.

Contrast this with Turner Classic Movie’s (TCM) monthly film festival, entitled “Ouch! A Salute to Slapstick,” airing this month on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, the Marx Brothers and even contemporary comedians are featured.

TCM is even offering a free online course from Ball State University (David Letterman’s alma mater) on slapstick comedy if you really want to dive deep into the genre.

I watched several of my favorites, seen many times, last week. Laurel and Hardy’s “Sons of the Desert,” where the pair concoct an elaborate scheme to attend their lodge convention in Chicago. They get a veterinarian, posing as a doctor, to prescribe a week of rest in Hawaii for the pair.

The plan appears to work until the ship the pair were supposed to be on runs into a storm and the rescue ship is scheduled to get into port a day after Stan and Ollie arrive home. Their worried wives go to the movies and see a newsreel of the Sons of Desert convention featuring Stan and Ollie.

Their alibi of “ship hiking” their way home ahead of the rescue ship doesn’t play well on the home front.

Lots of pots and pans get broken in the arguments that ensue.

Great stuff. Not a single curse word and the most scandalous thing was Ollie threatening to tell Stan’s wife that he smoked a cigarette at the convention.

I also laughed a great deal at the antics of W.C. Fields in “The Bank Dick,” where the town drunk, Fields, inadvertently foils a bank robbery, saves a film production and sells a screenplay based on a tall tale told at the bar.

Again, no curse words and precious little violence.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Children or lead manufacturers?

To the Editor: Recently, The Guardian US, the American version of a British newspaper, acquired and leaked over 1,300 documents related to the recently terminated “John Doe” investigation of Scott Walker’s 2011 recall campaign. These documents paint a shocking picture of systemic corruption and pay-to-play politics through the dark money group Wisconsin Club for Growth, which worked with and supported Republican candidates during the recall.

The full Guardian report can be read here: http://bit.ly/2cqWE6r.

The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a nonpartisan democracy watchdog group, has a must-read summary: http://www.wisdc.org/ op091616.php.

Implicated in the Guardian leaks was our own State Senator Sheila Harsdorf, who, as a member of the Joint Finance Committee, voted in favor of a measure in the 2013-15 budget that retroactively shielded lead manufacturers from lawsuits relating to lead paints. This measure, introduced just after midnight during the Joint Finance Committee’s last budget meeting, effectively nullified lawsuits brought by 171 children sickened by lead paint. That’s right — Sheila Harsdorf, as a member of the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee, voted to protect lead manufacturers from lawsuits brought by children sickened by lead poisoning.

Now the Guardian US has found out that Harold Simmons, the billionaire owner of lead-smelting NL Industries, secretly donated $750,000 to the Republican dark money group Wisconsin Club for Growth during the 2011 and 2012 recall elections.

This group spent $9.1 million during the recalls supporting Republicans including Sheila Harsdorf, even producing a television ad accusing Harsdorf’s opponent of “shouting” too much. So, it seems, after winning her recall, Harsdorf paid off her debt to Harold Simmons and the lead industry by passing favorable legislation for them, even though that legislation denied justice to children subjected to the incredibly harmful effects of lead poisoning. The lawyer for the 171 children involved in the lawsuits summed up the situation accurately: “What I see is a corrupt morass of government in Wisconsin that has been fueled by corporate money.”

Luckily, this legislation was thrown out by a federal court for violating the Constitution, but this kind of deplorable activity will continue as long as we let corrupt politicians keep their jobs. If Harsdorf thinks it is more important to protect the $14 billion fortune of Harold Simmons than to let the families of poisoned children pursue justice, then I think it’s time for a new District 10 Senator.

What was a slower and more pleasant pace since moving from the Twin Cities last March suddenly changed as winter looms and I look at all the projects to complete before the snow flies.

A new task just came about when I was informed I’d have to relocate some of the trees that took me all summer to plant — so long a job because I’m unable to kneel or use my knees with any force.

I literally dug and established them with a small spade shovel in hand over time. I’ve added that to the lengthy list.

Between this week and last, I’ve been to Darrell’s Hardware Store several times in preparation of all the urgent undertakings.

There are still project supNewbie in plies left from last spring that, the North- once the weather warmed, didn’t seem so crucial anymore. woods The roll of wide-gap weather stripping is still perched on Lori Callahan a shelf after the most glaring drafty cracks and openings were fixed last March. The bathroom fixture replacements are still begging attention as well.

On recent trips to Darrell’s, I’ve attempted to limit my wandering up and down the store aisles, lest I give myself new ideas and more projects. I don’t need any more. One would think the time saved not stuck in city traffic would provide plenty of extra time.

Not so.

It only gives me more time in the hardware store. See, I really like hardware stores, even though I don’t know what half of the stuff is.

Sometimes I pick up a little gadget, a piece of piping with an oddly-shaped end or other completely foreign object, look at it, turn it over and wonder what it is and what it’s used for. If I knew, I’m sure I need it for my lovely old house with all its uneven floors, tight spaces, ancient fixtures and systems, and surprises around every corner and season.

Darrell’s is great, packed with plenty of familiar items, plus all that other stuff.

On my first visit last March, while I searched for that weather stripping among numerous other essentials, stopping often to ponder a piece or waylaid by a rain gauge, spackling compound or other necessity, co-owner Tracy graciously offered and brought me a coffee. We chatted, but slightly. I was, after all, quite engaged as is usual in such mind-occupying establishments.

The first swallow of coffee is always the best, and it was good. After a few aisles and nearly a cartful later, Tracy checked on my progress again and I realized I no longer had my coffee.

We laughed and she said it’s usually her cup left sitting on a shelf.

I discovered that neither one of us ever finishes a cup of coffee while still hot. I knew then we would get along just fine. That’s another great thing about small hardware stores — the service is superb. I experienced the same friendly service visiting the hardware store in Siren.

Great service, neat gadgets, mysterious tools and objects — how can one not like local hardware stores? They’re like Tinker Toy stores for adults.

Retracing my steps that initial visit, I was unable to locate my missing, nearly full coffee cup, but I did find this thing called a Banters coupling extender. I wondered, what is that? And what’s it used for? Now I might need it — and quick.

To the Editor: I am writing a rebuttal to Ms. Rollins accusations against myself (Larry Main) in her letter that was published in the Sept. 7 Sentinel.

First of all, I would like to see where she found the Burnett County Board Supervisor minutes in regards to the ATV issue. They were not even published as they are not yet even approved.

She states the original requests from the Webb Lake Town Board were submitted two years ago. Correction: two years ago access from Webb Lake to Namekagan Trail on County Rd H was approved to connect the loop and was approved by the entire Burnett County Board of Supervisors.

This current route was submitted this spring. This was not a two-year process as she stated. I also did not abstain from the vote. Here is quote from the July 28, 2016 County Board minutes: “Discusssion ensued on the intent of the current ATV policy and if the routes being approved on county roads follow the guidelines of the policy.

Highway Administrator Mike Hoefs is currently rewording/revising the ATV policy and will be bringing it to the Infrastructure Committee for recommending to the full board for consideration.”

In the Sentinel, they quoted Hoefs as follows: “When the board met in July, they had a hodge-podge of route approvals to vote on,” he continued.

“Some of the supervisors were confused, and rather than approving any routes, they (as a group) voted to send the requests back to committee for some clarification.” It says “they,” not just “me” as Ms. Rollins states.

There also was no abstaining from me, in fact, in the September Natural Resources meeting. I made a motion to approve a new trail in Blaine Township. That passed. Last spring I made a motion for a new route in Webb Lake to connect to Washburn County. That passed.

I clearly am not hindering ATV routes. I actually suggested the route continue all the way to A&H to those businesses. Also note there were not any of the business owners that would also benefit from the route approval, nor was the ATV club present, nor anyone from the Town of Webb Lake for support.

I am sorry if Ms. Rollins feels I am hindering this route. She is wrong.

Attacking me singly, personally and my business that supports 10 employees and their families without knowing the facts, was very inconsiderate of her.

I would appreciate she and anyone else get their facts straight or personally call me to discuss your concerns first.

To the Editor: Property owners along Hwy. 87 south in the village of Grantsburg, some who are lifelong residents, have been attending Grantsburg Village Board meetings asking for help with unresolved water issues.

The village has received complaints as far back as 2004 and before.

With the development of the Karl Anderson property along the south side of State Road 70, a natural waterway was disrupted. It was replaced with a drainage plan that was designed by Warren White, who at that time was the engineer for the village.

According to the current engineer, Dan Penzkover, and Village President Glenn Rolloff, the plan is working perfectly.

However, the plan did not take into consideration the damage it would cause to adjoining properties. Requests for copies of permits to develop this drainage plan have gone unanswered.

This plan requires periodic maintenance and inspections. According to the village board, they did not agree to or have an agreement with Anderson as to who would be responsible for maintenance; therefore, none has been done.

Many residents along Hwy. 87 south, whose basement sump pumps now run year-round, have asked the village board to delay the construction of the proposed Dollar General Store only until water issues can be resolved.

The residents have also requested the village to bring in engineers to study the water issues. Requests fall on deaf ears. Our administrative committee seems to place importance of big business above the citizens of Grantsburg.

With the disruption of the waterway, the water table has continued to rise and has resulted in damage to properties. Without proper drainage, we expect it will only get worse.

Our village administration committee of Glenn Rolloff, Greg Peer, and Larry Ebersold met with Todd Platt of Platt Developers. Mr. Platt is requesting an additional $100,000 in TIF money to cover the added cost of developing the Anderson property.

Having done additional soil borings, they were surprised to find the land, part of the natural waterway, not conducive to building.

Platt said the additional TIF money is needed to extend utilities and parking and to remove soil and replace it with engineered fill.

Permits are in order for DG to be built; however, if the board denies the request for the additional money, DG will not proceed at this time.

Please contact your board members and ask them to vote against the additional TIF money.

What voters should know ...

Registration and absentee ballot mailings MADISON—As Election Day approaches on November 8, another wave of voter registration and absentee ballot mailings have begun arriving in Wisconsin residents’ mailboxes.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission advises voters that their best sources of information about voter registration and absentee voting are their local clerks and MyVote.WI.gov, not mailings from political parties and independent groups. This is especially true given recent changes in some of the election rules resulting from court decisions.

As in previous election years, the Elections Commission and municipal clerks around the state have started receiving questions and complaints about recent direct mailings on voter registration and absentee voting because they contain campaign messages and even errors that could interfere with voting, said Michael Haas, administrator of the Elections Commission.

“Every election we get complaints about these types of mailings,” Haas said. “Interest groups send out glossy mailers to encourage voters to register or apply for an absentee ballot to vote by mail. While these mailings are permissible, our advice to voters is to examine them carefully before relying on them for definitive information about the election. Preferably, voters should rely instead on their local municipal clerk’s office or our MyVote.WI.gov website.”

In late September, the Wisconsin Elections Commission will mail official postcards to 1.2 million state residents who are not registered to vote, giving them information about how to register, said Haas, Wisconsin’s chief elections official.

A continuing problem with unofficial mailers is that some of them contain incorrect information about where to return them. A recent National Rifle Association mailer directs people to return applications to the state, not their municipal clerk, Haas said. In previous years, mailers have urged voters to send their applications to a third-party clearinghouse. In other cases, the mailers tell voters to send it to the wrong municipal clerk.

“Voter registration forms must be delivered to your municipal clerk’s office,” Haas said. “The Elections Commission and municipal clerks will do their best to send misdirected voter registrations and absentee ballot applications to the right place, but there are no guarantees they will arrive in time.”

Another problem with independent mailings is they sometimes make registered voters think they are not registered to vote, Haas said. In recent days, the Commission has begun receiving questions about a mailing from the Voter Participation Center, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group.

“Independent groups and political parties often use unreliable commercial mailing lists,” Haas said.

“The upcoming mailing from the Elections Commission will only go to people who have a Wisconsin driver license or state ID card and do not appear to be registered to vote.”

Independent mailings also generate unnecessary work for municipal clerks because some people who are already registered fill out the forms and send them in, Haas said. “Voters can spend two minutes online at MyVote.WI.gov and see whether their registration is current,” he said.

Slow but sure The walls of the new combination highway/forestry shop are going up behind the current shop — but not as quick as some would like. “The manufacturer of the pre-cast panels has not been able to produce them in a timely manner,” Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, lamented.

RAIN: No longer battling drought effects CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

residents expect from a rainfall standpoint?

“I just don’t know,” Ferris said with a heavy sigh.”My crystal ball is pretty cloudy.”

If we have a dry fall from here on out, it could be a good thing.

“If we don’t get anymore rain, things will start to stabilize,” Ferris reported. “If we have dry, windy and low-humidity days, we could lose an inch or two off the lakes.”

He said the drainage lakes, like Crooked Lake or Dunham Lake, have inlets and outlets or have their levels monitored by dams, and are basically okay.

Seepage lakes, lakes whose water evaporates or drains to the water table, are a different story.

“There’s no where for that water to go and there’s not a heck of a lot we can do about it,” Ferris pointed out. “The majority of lakes in Burnett County are seepage lakes.”

He said because those lakes are driven by the water table, don’t go up fast, and conversely, they don’t go down fast.

“It could take two years of normal rainfall for those lakes to return to the level they were at before this year,” Ferris explained. “It has been an exceptional year for rain.”

Fortunately, summer rain does not equate to winter snowfall.

“I hope we have a mild winter,” Ferris added. “But

who knows?”

And spring is off the charts altogether.

“I couldn’t even begin to guess,” he admitted.

ROADS In a word, all of this summer’s rain has not been good for area roads.

While there are no county roads currently under water, town roads like Seiben Road and Lake 26 Road are under water in places.

“It just destroys the road,” Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner pointed out. “A road has to have a solid base — if a road is under water, the standing water gets into the road base and compromises the structural integrity of the road.”

Whether it is a one-time rain event or multiple events, excess rain and standing water can lead to rutting and cracking of the road surface.

“Long-term exposure can lead to severe rutting and the breakdown of the pavement — crumbling at the edges of the road, huge potholes, that kind of thing,” Hoefs added.

While each town is responsible for the maintenance of its roads, Hoefs did say the highway department could be contracted to do the repair work.

“It doesn’t make any sense to do it now — let’s wait until the water recedes before any fixing takes place,” he noted. “For now, towns could be adding gravel to help keep the roads water-free.”

Committee updates ATV policy

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Yes, the county’s infrastructure committee updated its ATV policy at its meeting last week and while it cleared the muddy waters to some degree, there’s no doubt it is a complex matter.

“The ATV rules vary from town-to-town-to-town,” Nate Ehalt, county administrator lamented. “Some trails are only open in the winter, some are only open when the ground is frozen, some are not signed, some towns have not updated their ordinances.”

He indicated the ATV map taped to the wall the county staff put together based on the information they could gather.

“It’s a very, very complex issue,” Ehalt continued.

“There are a lot of nuances.”

The first of which is the difference between a trail and a route and no, they can’t be used interchangeably.

According to the county’s ATV policy, an ATV route

is a highway, or section of highway and is generally recognized as a means to connect the terminal ends of a trail or route when it is obstructed by a city, village, river, railroad track or other impediment.

A trail is designated as such on Burnett County forest land.

It would appear individual towns have a lot of input when it comes to ATV routes.

“A couple of years ago there was an effort through the county towns association to get a handle on the ATV issue,” member Chuck Awe mentioned. “But when it came time to assemble an ad-hoc committee, no one wanted to participate.”

Things are different today.

“The pendulum is swinging in favor of opening roads to ATVs,” committee chair Jeremy Gronski agreed.

And that’s where current problems arose.

Most recently, the Town of Webb Lake submitted two route requests, but the requests, initially approved by the committee and recommended to the full board,

were sent back to committee for clarification.

“The policy seemed to indicate the committee had more authority than it does,” Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, explained. “The ordinance on the other hand, says the county board has the final say.”

Gronski was ready to accept some of the blame.

“Maybe this committee needs to explain the correct process to getting a route approved to the applicants,” he suggested. “We could explain everything and then give them a checklist which explains their request is not an official route until all of the steps on the checklist are completed.”

For now, the time it takes to complete that process is absorbed by the different county departments which have input into the decision.

“Charging a fee to help defer our costs is definitely something to think about when a town or a club applies for a route,” Ehalt noted.

grant total, but St. Croix Regional Medical Center, which will be building a clinic on the site, has committed funding to the project.

Of the fees approved, $30,000 are for the $440,500 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), while the balance, $2,500, is for a $250,000 Community Development Investment Grant offered by the Wisconsin Economic Development Council.

One of the bigger portions of the CDBG fee is the environmental review of the site — making sure the building and the ground under the building are free of contaminants. The review must be completed prior to demolition.

There was also discussion about erecting a security fence around the site, especially once demolition begins, as the village wants to limit its liability. No action was taken.

The village will put the demolition out for bid either later this year or early in 2017.

Village officials are meeting with officials from SCRMC this week as they will be taking over the property once the school has been razed.

ing for another grant to use to finish paving the walking path at the dog park north of town.

They are about half done with the walk and need about $11,000 to finish the project. Bjorkland said the village will wait until spring to see if DSI secures the grant.

• The 36 flags which adorned street poles throughout the village this summer, announcing the village’s centennial, will be up for sale following action by the board.

Depending on the condition of the flag, each are being sold for $25.

The flags will most likely stay up until they are replaced by Christmas decorations.

A light at the end of the tunnel for addicts

TAD Grant ensures future of Burnett County Drug Court

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—In the midst of a methamphetamine crisis in Burnett County, county officials learned last week they are in line for a $125,000 Treatment Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) Grant.

“This is great news for sure,” Tessa Anderson, Burnett County Drug Court Coordinator, exclaimed.

TAD programs, established in 2005 by the passage of Wisconsin Act 25, provide local jurisdictions with options to offer offenders the opportunity to enter diversion programs or treatment court programs, which typically involve into drug and/or alcohol abuse treatment, case management, and other risk reduction services as a safe alternative to jail or prison confinement.

Diverting non-violent offenders into substance abuse treatment keeps them out of jail and correctional facilities — thereby saving bed space and taxpayer dollars — as well as treating the underlying addiction which may have influenced the commission of a crime or may contribute to future criminal behavior.

To successfully graduate from a TAD program, an offender must abstain from using drugs or alcohol.

“During more than 25 years of law enforcement work, I have witnessed the profound effects TAD can have on somebody struggling with addiction,” said Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel. “TAD is one of the smartest

things we have done in law enforcement in decades and I’m excited to see these programs implemented in more counties and tribal communities across our state.”

Burnett County was first awarded a TAD grant in 2005 or 2006.

“We were one of the first programs to be funded,” Byron Hopke, supervisor of the behavioral health unit of Burnett County’s Health and Human Services Department.

2013 Wisconsin Act 197 expanded the TAD programs by $1.5 million annually.

2015 Wisconsin Act 388 expanded TAD program funding by $2 million, bringing the total TAD expenditure to more than $6 million for calendar year 2017.

This year’s competitive grant process awarded five years of funding to 14 new counties, bringing the total number of funded programs statewide to 46 counties and two tribes.

With more than $6 million available in TAD funding state-wide and with TAD projects operating in approximately half the jurisdictions in the state, one would think getting some money would be simply a matter of applying and receiving — but Anderson said that’s not the case.

“They’re called competitive grants,” she remarked.

Burnett applied under Category 3 which covers “Enhancement.”

“This is for counties that have an established Criminal Justice Collaborating Council (CJCC) in place and a fully operational program,” Anderson explained. “We addressed expanding the target population, enhancing pro-

Byron Hopke

gram services and participant services —we also addressed the 10 key components for effective drug courts and how we incorporate them as well as using evidence-based principles.”

Hopke said the county added a meth diversion proposal into this year’s grant.

“We wanted to make ourselves more marketable,” he pointed out.

He said with meth arrests increasing dramatically, the health department wanted to give the court system another option rather than jail or a fine.

“With this program, first and second-time offenders are ordered into the meth diversion program,” Hopke continued. “There they get case-management through Restorative Justice and treatment though Aurora Health Services.”

He said the case-management and treatment are not as stringent as they are for drug court but stronger than other programs.

“The typical 21 or 28-day treatment programs don’t touch meth addicts,” Hopke reasoned.

As required by state statute, the TAD program is funded on a five-year cycle

but counties need to apply each year.

“If your program is awarded, like ours was this year, it becomes a non-competitive grant,” Hopke explained. “We still have to apply each year in order to update our records, plus the Department of Justice (DOJ) wants to accumulate data and they want to know our plans for the coming year.”

Burnett County, which also serves the St. Croix Chippewa Tribe, applied for the grant jointly with Washburn County.

“We thought a regional application would be better than our individual county applying for the grant,” Hopke said. “We are the fiscal agent for the grant — so all money requests come across my desk.”

The $125,000 will have an immediate impact in the county.

“The money will be used to continue to strengthen our Alcohol and Other Drugs Addiction (AODA) programs, as well as keeping our existing groups going,” Anderson indicated. “It will also help to continue funding our drug court and possibly the addition of a new program or two.”

Circuit Court Judge Ken Kutz, who presides over the drug court, echoed those positive comments.

“By receiving this grant, we can continue to operate the Burnett County Drug Court without any funding worries,” he interjected. “Otherwise, we would have had to go before the county board to ask for funding and with as tight as things are, who knows what would have happened.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — It’s not every day you hear Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker talk like a Democrat. But that’s what he’s doing as he helps Donald Trump’s running mate get ready for the vice presidential debate.

A Republican familiar with debate preparations says Walker is playing Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine in debate preparations with the GOP running mate, Mike Pence.

The Republican has direct knowledge of Walker’s role but was not authorized by Pence’s campaign to release the information.

Walker and Pence are political allies. Walker has heaped praise on his fellow governor while he’s been more reluctant to praise Trump.

Walker briefly ran for president but dropped out last year.

Pence and Kaine are scheduled to debate Oct. 4.

Peter Engel, executive vice president of Johnson Financial Group, said manufacturing is critical to a strong state economy, and we should celebrate our heritage.

“We make great products in our state,” said Engel. “That should be celebrated.”

The three top products emerged from a statewide competition featuring food, vehicles, beer, lawnmowers, shoes and many, many premiere products.

Brats, bikes and boats MADISON - Three of Wisconsin’s

hottest name brand companies will slug it out for the coveted title: “Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin.”

Will it be brats, bikes or boats?

In a competition sponsored by WMC, Wisconsin’s Chamber of Commerce and Johnson Financial Group, voters considered more than 200 nominees and narrowed the field to the top three “coolest things made.”

Wisconsin voters will make the final decision in online voting starting Oct. 1 at www.madeinwis. com.

“The Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin” will be announced October 18 at WMC’s State of Wisconsin Business luncheon at Monona Terrace in Madison.

Earlier this month, more than 20,000 votes were cast for the nominees. Every product received a vote, and more than 30 products received hundreds of votes.

The three top vote-getters are motorcycles by Harley-Davidson of Milwaukee, brats by Johnsonville Sausage of Sheboygan Falls, and sea-going combat ships by Fincantieri Marinette Marine of Marinette.

“We are excited about the prospect of letting the people decide the burning question: ‘What is Wisconsin’s coolest thing made?’” said WMC President/CEO Kurt R. Bauer.

“Will they choose the classic brat? Or, the iconic Harley-Davidson? Or, the combat ships that are

MADISON—Barron, Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, St. Croix and Washburn counties will all see a 12.9 percent increase in general transportation aids, as projected by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT), from calendar year 2017 to calendar year 2018 under DOT’s budget proposal.

“This budget proposal includes greater funding at all levels of local government for roads and bridges, renews our focus on traffic safety and road maintenance, and most importantly, does not increase taxes or fees,” Governor Scott Walker said.

The DOT budget includes the largest year-to-year change in local aids since 1999-2000, including a 25 percent increase in the Local Road Improvement Program, and a 30 percent increase to the state funding portion of the Local Bridge Program.

The budget also provides more than $672 million in general transportation aids for Wisconsin municipalities and $212 million for counties, increases of 4.7 percent and 8.1 percent respectively.

“This budget proposal is focused on increasing local aids,” Governor Walker added.

“A 12.9 percent increase for counties, as well as our other investments, ensures we are prioritizing maintenance and safety.”

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

This week we are featuring three little kittens named after characters from The Wizard of Oz and Oz the Great and Powerful. It was quite comical trying to get a good picture of the three of them, and the best pics are what you see in this article as they just wouldn’t pose for me.

This trio was found on a boat with their Mommy nowhere in sight.

They were first fostered by Paige, one of our dedicated volunteers.

Glinda & Theodora Paige had the hard work because they were only three weeks old and needed to be bottled fed around the clock.

Fast forward to today and they are healthy, happy, spunky kittens that we now have the pleasure of fostering, without the hassle of bottle-feeding.

The Oz two black kittens are both females (Glinda and Theodora); and the gray kitten is the lone male (Oz).

Oz is the loudest of the bunch, both in purring and in crying. However, he is also the most mellow and the onewho likes to cuddle the most. Glinda is darker and smaller than Theodora, but the most active of the bunch.

Theodora is the biggest and although she is black, she has faint stripes mixed in.

They spend their days in the porch where they can run through a tunnel, climb on a three-tier scratching post and look out at the lake, chase lit tle balls around and find ways to balance themselves on the rungs of my wood chairs.

As the sun sets and the cooler air moves in, I gather them up and bring them inside to their double-decker condo. They love “hanging out” in their hammocks and jumping around from one level to the next or playing with their toys. They play hard until the lights go out and it’s time for bed. Then they are q uiet and fast asleep till morning comes and we start our day all over again.

These wee ones are so fun to watch, and they love it when I sit on the floor in the porch to visit with them. All of a sudden I am overwhelmed by my furry friends as they all want my at tention. They have set tled into the routine I have for them and I’ve enjoyed being their foster Mom. However, they are now over eight weeks old and ready to be adopted.

We always love happy endings and hope that Oz, Glinda and Theodora find theirs. After all, “there’s no place like home.”

If you are interested in adopting Oz, Glinda, Theodora, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnet tcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 8664096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

OBITUARIES

Janet Shadis

Janet Ilene Shadis, 59, passed a away Tuesday morning, Sept tember 20, 2016.

The memorial service honori ing Janet’s life will be conducte at 11 a.m. Saturday, Septemed b 24 at Wood River Christian ber F Fellowship at 22780 S. Williams R Rd., Grantsburg, with Pastor T Todd Harris officiating. A fell lowship luncheon will follow t service. the Janet Ilene was born January 24, 1957, in St. Paul, Minn., to Vernon and Gladys (Johnson) Kleppe, joining older brother Paul and later becoming big sister to Glen, Kurt and Kent.

Vernon and Gladys raised Janet in a happy, loving household and imparted a deep abiding faith through baptism and confirmation. She inherited a lifelong love and talent for music, playing the piano, organ and singing.

At least 75 percent Norwegian by heritage, Janet enjoyed lefse (traditional Norwegian soft flatbread), a dry sense of humor and was stoic. Her life was profoundly touched by her mother’s sister, “Aunt Corrine” Johnson, a missionary to Cameroon, Africa, for more than 40 years.

Some of her fondest childhood memories were staying with her maternal grandmother for extended time in the summer, helping her cook and playing games together.

Upon high school graduation, Janet at tended UW-River Falls for one year. While Janet earned academic honors, she pursued a relationship with a college friend’s brother “Danny” instead of her sophomore year. On November 27, 1976, Janet married Daniel Shadis in Winter, Wisconsin.

She wholeheartedly pursued excellence as a homemaker and mother to Naomi, Jacob, Rachel, Noah and Z. James. Her husband, children, and home were second only to her relationship with Christ.

Like her own mother, Janet was the church organist/pianist, even directing a church choir for some years.

She enjoyed sewing clothing and became an exceptional cook and baker. She always loved to be fancy, wearing jewelry and different nail polishes. Becoming “Nana” to Daveney, Charlie, Andrew, Audrey, Aria, Max and Quinton were the greatest joys of her life.

After James’s graduation from high school, Janet pursued her dream of working in the medical field, graduating as the top CMA student in her class, then worked at the Burnet t Medical Center where she was lauded for her excellence and was deeply loved as a friend and colleague.

The most important thing in her life was her relationship with Jesus Christ. She kept a prayer journal and spent time in the mornings praying and was q uick to offer to pray for others. She loved to play the piano and sing hymns of praise. She memorized scripture along with her children.

As she grew in the Lord, He gave her the strength to forgive the unforgiveable and to endure suffering with joy and peace.

Eq ually impressive is that the grand champion winner, Emmi Roth, is the world largest cheese manufacturer.

Not only do they produce the most, but it is also the best—not an easy feat for anything Wild Chow that is produced in q uantity.

That means you and I have a betLisa Erickson ter chance of eating a slice of award winning cheese.

What does this mean for local cheese manufactures?

Hopefully, many more customers!

I love cheese and eat it almost every

day. When I have company, I try to find a local cheese to serve as an appetizer with crackers or homemade bread. One of my favorites is good q uality cheese and a glass of eq ually good local red wine.

I am so proud to be a Wisconsinite.

Our farmers work hard to produce the best products and they care deeply about the animals they raise and products they grow.

You can find local wines, cheese, meats, grains, fruits and veggies and so much more at farmers markets, local stores and directly from the maker or grower themselves.

Recently, I have made a concerted effort to eat as many Wisconsin products as possible.

I’m buying more local products, which supports my friends and neighbors. The q uality is amazing — bet ter than foods produced far away.

So when you see Wisconsin on the label, you can rest assured, it is the best!!

Take my “cheesy” word for it!

National Farm Safety and Health Week is a great opportunity to stress the importance of keeping our farm families safe and healthy. The agriculture industry is unique in that so many of its members live, work and play at the worksite.

This often increases the level to which farmers and their families are exposed to dangerous chemicals, machinery and livestock. Because of this potentially hazardous environment, it’s essential that each and every person on the farm is experienced and knowledgeable in the area of farm safety.

Pirates remain undefeated with win over Durand

BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

DURAND—The Grantsburg Pirate football team got their first big test of the season in a game they had been waiting for— a road trip to Durand to take on the No. 3 ranked team in the state in Division 5.

The Pirates took care of business, winning the game 23-6 to remain undefeated at 5-0.

“It was a great win for our program against a really solid and physical team in Durand. Our kids played extremely hard and physical on defense, and I thought Coach Hale Sr. did a fantastic job game planning all week and getting our guys ready for Durand’s offense which had been averaging 43 points a game,” Head coach of the Pirates Adam Hale said.

“Our interior defensive line of Austin Bowman, Nick Larsen and Hauk Moritz had their best game as a unit, and Leo Chenal was all over the field and did a great job with his reads. Luke Anderson came up with a big interception at a crucial time as well.”

Grantsburg knew they would have their hands full with the Panthers and their high-scoring offense, and knew that defense was going to be the name of the game.

The Pirates didn’t disappoint, and their swarming defense shut down the Durand attack and kept them in check.

The first quarter was scoreless as the teams battled back and forth. The Pirates got on the scoreboard first on a five-yard run to paydirt by John Chenal early in the second quarter. The extra point kick was good by Avery Fagerberg to give Grantsburg the 7-0 lead.

Durand answered back with a three-yard TD run by Josh Biesterveld. The PAT was no good, and the Pirates held a 7-6 edge.

But, the Pirates’ offense wasn’t done yet. On a fourth down and 15 yards to go, quarterback Dakota Schultz handled a bad snap and tossed the ball over the middle to John Chenal who made an acrobatic catch to bring them to the 13-yard line with only 11 seconds left in the half. Schultz tried to find Austin Olson in the corner of the end zone on the next play, but was unsuccessful.

Fagerberg lined up for a 28-yard field goal and put the ball perfectly through the uprights to put the Pirates up 10-6 with just two seconds left in the half.

In the third quarter, a sequence of events changed the momentum of the game for good in favor of the Pirates.

Grantsburg fumbled and the ball was recovered by the Panthers. The Pirate defense stood strong and shut down the Panther offense, forcing them to punt the ball back to the Pirates.

On the punt, Grantsburg fumbled the ball which was recovered by Durand. Three plays later, Luke Anderson picked off a pass to give the ball back to the Pirates.

On the very next play, John Chenal took it 57 yards for the touchdown. The PAT by Fagerberg was good, and just like that, the Pirates were up 17-6.

The Pirates would strike once again with one second left in the third quarter on a 33-yard field goal kick by Fagerberg to put them up 20-6.

Grantsburg’s defense kept up the pressure on the Panthers and with 5:31 left in the game, Jared Peltier interecepted a Durand pass and brought it to the 10 yard line.

Dragons win ‘biggest game ever’

PRAIRIE FARM—“This was possibly the biggest win for the Siren football program ever, but for sure 30-plus years,” exclaimed Dragons Coach Ryan Karsten following the Siren 22-16 win over Prairie Farm on Saturday.

“It was a GREAT high school football game. Prairie Farm was 41-1 over the last four-plus seasons and had not lost a conference game since the state began 8-man football back in 2012.”

“We knew they were a great team, leading the 8-man teams in rushing and had a top-three rusher in the state on their team. Our focus was to stop the run and we did that. We held them to 173 yards rushing, which was 60 yards less than they have been averaging as a team.”

STACY COY| SENTINEL

Grantsburg’s Jared Peltier wraps up the legs of Durand’s William Berger.

The offense ate up some time on the clock, and with a little over three minutes left in the game, Fagerberg kicked his third successful field goal from 23 yards out to put the Pirates up 23-6.

“Offensively, I thought we moved the ball well the second half, but just couldn’t finish our drives. It really helps to have an outstanding kicker in Avery Fagerberg who made three out of four FGs to allow us to at least get three points on the board after those drives,” Hale said.

“We definitely had some self-inflicted mistakes that we can correct, but credit Durand’s defense as well.

“Our guys know that now we have the meat of our conference schedule and some tough opponents ahead, so we can’t afford to take a step backward.”

Leading the Pirates on the defensive side of the ball was Leo Chenal with two solo tackles and eight assists.

Not only did Chenal lead the team in tackles, but his play at linebacker wrecked many plays for the Panthers.

Next on the list was defensive tackle Nick Larsen with two solos and six assists— one solo was a hard smash leaving Larsen helmetless. Fagerberg’s end play closed down runs on his side, and he ended his night with five solos and two assists. The other defensive tackle, Bubba Bowman, ran from sideline to sideline tallying up three solos and four assists. John Chenal was back on the field adding five solo tackles and one assist.

Hauk Mortiz ended the list from nose tackle with two solos and three assists.

The Pirate offense had another good game as well with Larsen, Mortiz, Kalvin Watt, Tanner Berger and Bowman opening the running lanes and protecting quarterback Schultz.

The Pirates travel to St. Croix Falls on Friday night to take on the Saints in a 7 p.m. game.

St. Croix Falls shuttle bus from school to field The School District of St. Croix Falls will be offering a shuttle bus from the high school to the football stadium to alleviate the congestion due to the lack of parking at the stadium. Please park your vehicle in either the high school or middle school parking lots and meet in front of the high school, next to the flag pole.

The shuttle schedule is as follows: Before the game departure times: 5:50 pm, 6:10 pm, 6:30 p.m, 6:50 p.m. (last one).

Return times: • Five minutes after the game has been completed the first shuttle will return to the high school.

• Twenty minutes after the game has been completed the football team will be picked up.

• 35 minutes after the game has been completed.

Additional shuttle pick-ups will be added as needed.

U.S. Army Week 5 Team of the Week Nominees include the Siren Dragons.

The Dragons were coming off a Week 4 loss to Northwood/Solon Springs, with the unenviable task of traveling to Prairie Farm, who had won the last two unofficial 8-Man state titles and had not lost since the 2013 8-Man Jamboree, with a 40-1 overall mark in 8-Man. Siren would not be intimidated however, winning a tight game 22-16.

Tigers get first win, beat Flambeau 14-0

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers scored two touchdowns and a stingy defense held the Flambeau Falcons in check as the Tigers won 14-0 on Friday night.

“It’s win number one,” said Coach Andy Smith.

“The kids played an almost perfect game as they could at this point. They knew that this is what they had to do to come out on top.”

Webster received the opening kickoff and moved downfield to the Flambeau 45 yard line before the Falcon’s Alexander Brost intercepted a Tiger pass.

The Falcons were able to get to the Tiger 39 before the drive stalled and Flambeau punted.

The Tiger’s ensuing drive ended at their own 26 when they were also forced to punt. The Falcons were on the Webster 43 when the first period ended, scoreless.

Cardinals fly with win over Dragons

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Luck Cardinals defeated the Siren Dragons in volleyball action last Thursday 3-0. The game scores were 25-21, 25-8 and 25-11.

“We started off real strong,” commented Siren Coach Kristin Kosloski. “Luck is good. We knew that from the fi rst of the year.”

“That second game we didn’t score many points. In the third game, we tried to come back, but this is all a learning process.”

The Dragons fell behind in game one early, but fought back to tie the game at 10. After Luck went ahead, a kill by Abby Kosloski narrowed the margin to 13-12 for Luck. Later, a kill

by Karlee Sybers made the score 19-17 for the Cards, keeping the Dragons in winning range.

At 24-20, a block by Kosloski gave Siren one more point at 24-21, but Luck scored the final point on a long serve by Siren.

After a tie at one in game two, Luck “went to town” moving ahead quickly at 6-1 to take game two at 25-8.

Basically the same happened in game three, the Dragons not being able to answer to Luck’s consistent play, both in the back row and in the front row.

Amy Stanford tallied six kills, an ace and four assists. Abby Kosloski had four kills and a block. Rylee O’Brien got five assists.

“Work and practice will help us improve,” finished the coach.

Tigers split games last week St. Croix jumped out quickly in game three, going up 10-2 at one point. Webster couldn’t get any closer than eight the rest of the way.

Taylor Howe had 10 kills, six assists, two aces and a block. Sophie Phernetton got three kills, two aces, a block, a dig and an assist.

Kaitlyn Lee got five assists with three digs.

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers lost a game and won a game last week, losing to St. Croix Falls 3-0 on Tuesday, but defeated the Unity Eagles by the same score on Thursday.

Versus St. Croix, the game scores were 25-15, 25-20 and 25-15.

The fi rst game was tied at one and two, but then the Saints moved out to a 4-2 edge. A kill by Taylor Howe narrowed the score to 5-4, a kill by Sophie Phernetton, 5-5.

Then St. Croix stiffened and then pounded away at the Tigers. They moved their advantage to 20-11 before the Tigers slowed them down on a placement by Makena Buffington.

St. Croix finished the game via a short return by the Tigers.

Game two was a close one as the Tigers fought tooth and nail with the Saints. A tap by Webster’s Carolina Rosas moved the score to 4-1 Tigers in the early going. Later with Webster leading 12-9, St. Croix took a time out to get re-organized.

the score at 14 and either tied or went ahead of the Tigers the remainder of the game. At 16 all, the Saints scored six to take a 22-16 edge.

Even though the Tigers were able to add four to their score, they couldn’t hold back the Saints who got three more for the win in game two.

On Thursday, Webster defeated Unity at Balsam Lake by scores of 25-14, 25-20 and 25-14.

Taylor Howe tallied 18 kills with four blocks, eight assists, a dig and three aces. Sophie Phernetton also had a good game, garnering 11 kills, three aces, four blocks, two digs and an assist.

Assist leader in this game was Kaitlyn Lee with 15.

Skyler Winkler added five kills and seven digs.

“It was great to see the girls put together three solid games tonight,” said Tiger Coach Stefanie Janssen. “We passed well which allowed us to run a more aggressive offense.”

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates hosted their neighbors to the east, the Siren Dragons on Tuesday, September 13 and came away with 3-0 win over a very young Dragon squad. Game scores were 25-11, 25-18 and 25-8.

Despite what the scores may say, the games were close at times before the Pirates would go on a run. There were many long volleys, and Siren’s defense was very scrappy and made many great saves.

“Siren lost some outstanding players to graduation, but they have a very strong core of young talent, including two freshmen starters. Pretty impressive,” Pirates coach Deb Allaman-Johnson said. “Junior Abby Kosloski is one of a few dominant hitters, but we were able to serve and hit tough enough to prevent her from getting too many opportunities.”

Grantsburg’s tough serving makes it hard for opponents to make a good fi rst pass, which is cruicial in setting up for a strong offensive attack. The Pirates were able to limit Siren’s kills to just 10 for the night.

Julia Cederberg led the Dragon attack with three kills, with Kosloski, Jade Horstman, and Karlee Sybers each recording two. Riley Anderson had one kill.

For the Pirates, Cassidy Lee led the way with 12 kills followed closely by Rhiana Pochman with 11. Rachel Glover had six and Britta Roufs found the hole on the Dragon court five times.

The Dragons played tough at the net all night and were able

to reject some Pirate hits. Karlee Sybers had two big blocks, with Kosloski and Horstman with one apiece.

Pochman tallied the lone two blocks for the Pirates.

“We blocked okay tonight, but only had two recorded team blocks because Siren had great hitter coverage, nullifying our deflections. We continue to strive to improve here,” Allaman-Johnson noted.

Defensively, both teams moved well and made some great saves.

Kosloski and Horstman led the Dragons in digs with two each, and Cederberg had one.

For Grantsburg,s it was Randi Siebenthal racking up 12 digs,

followed by Jenna McNally with nine, Claire Palmquist with six, Alaina Oachs with five and Charli Siebenthal and Kenna Johnson both with four.

“All 13 players contributed great things to our win, and for the fi rst time in my coaching history, every single athlete got at least one dig during the match! We almost never have a stat category that shows a recorded number for all players, so this is quite a feat,” the coach added.

Ruiz runs to first in Osceola

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

OSCEOLA—The only sub 18-minute runner of the 149 athletes running in Saturday’s Chieftain Invitational, Webster Tiger Andrew Ruiz, with a time of 17:52, came home with a first place finish —his first of the season.

“Andrew led the race and won without being pushed,” Tiger Coach Roy Ward observed.

Underclassmen led the way for the Pirates as David MacKean (25) was the first Pirate across the line in a time of 19:51. Teammates Joe Duncan and Joseph Ohnstad finished 39th and 40th in times of 20:27 and 20:30.

‘The runners had to be mentally tough. The first mile was tough and very hilly but the rest of the course was mostly flat.’

Andrea Nightengale Cross Country coach, Grantsburg Pirates

“The runners struggled a bit due to it being cold, drizzly and a morning meet,” Andrea Nightengale, coach of the Pirates noted.

Chris Hermann (61) and Jared Lee (63) were next, posting times of 21:28 and 21:36. Teammates Camilo Volkmann (71) and Trevor Vollendorf (74) were the final two Pirates to cross the line in times of 22:33 and 22:46.

With a team score of 113, the Tigers finished fourth in the 12-team invite.

Junior Joey Formanek (11) was the second Tiger across the line in 18:53. Teammates Mason Schaaf (19) and Hunter Erickson (22) were third and fourth for the team, posting times of 19:28 and 19:34.

Kerik Stubbe (60) was fifth for the team, crossing the line in 21:23, followed by Dustin Kern (73) and Trent Gustafson (26:11) in times of 22:38 and 26:11.

“The biggest shout-out goes to Kerik,” the coach praised. “He ran a really nice middle part of the race and almost had a personal best on a tough course.”

The Grantsburg Pirates also raced Saturday, finishing in the middle of the pack (8th) with a team score of 228.

PIRATES GIRLS FOURTH The Pirates used two top 10 finishes to lead the team to a fourth place finish.

Grace Gerber (5) and Hallie Jensen (9) were 1-2 for Grantsburg, posting times of 21:27 and 21:42.

Brittanie Blume (14) was close behind, crossing the line in 22:06.

“The runners had to be mentally tough,” Nightengale explained. “The first mile was tough and very hilly but the rest of the course was mostly flat.”

Teammates Hope McKinley (51) and Maddie Duncan (52) were next for the Lady Pirates, finishing with times of 25:30 and 26:19.

Danielle Bertelsen (58) and Holly Fiedler (64) were the final two Pirates across the line, posting times of 26:48 and 28:55.

“Overall, it was a fun Saturday morning,” the coach concluded.

The Lady Tigers finished the invite in 9th place, led by sophomore Sam Nelson (23), who crossed the line in 23:03. She was followed by Sydney Raschke (48) and Ali Moritz (55) with times of 25:14 and 26:37.

Teammates Carolina Ivic (60) and Jeni Peterson (63) were next for the Tigers, posting times of 27:47 and 28:52.

“We might not win a meet, but we have a great group of girls,” Ward pointed out. “Sam was our first girl in and did a nice job passing girls in the middle of the race — Sydney and Jeni also passed a bunch between the mile and end of the race and both had nice kicks at the end.”

TIGERS: Earn first win CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16

Flambeau moved the ball just four more yards before they punted. Their defense held and forced the Tigers to once again punt. Flambeau started their next drive at their 43 where they moved to the Webster 43 yard line and fumbled. Bryan McCool recovered for the Tigers. Eleven plays later, with just five seconds left in the half, a Trevor Gustafson-to-Trenton Wols pass resulted in a three yard touchdown play. The two point conversion failed, but Webster was up 6-0 and that was the halftime score.

Flambeau received the second half kickoff and moved to their own 35, but a penalty moved the ball back to their own 20 where they faced a third and 16. A Martin-to-Smith pass play moved the ball to midfield, but a penalty against the Falcons caused a fourth and 11.

The Falcons punted and Webster took over on their own 33.

Webster and Flambeau exchanged possessions and punts, leaving the end of the third quarter with Webster on the Flambeau one yard line.

Trevor Gustafson took the ball in to score on the first play of the fourth quarter. A pass from Gustafson to JC Matrious was good for the two point conversion and the Tigers were up 14-0.

The Falcons took the kickoff and worked their way downfield to the Webster nine yard where the Tiger defense stiffened, the Tiger offense took over and ran out the clock.

“I’m really proud of the kids’ effort, “ said Coach Smith.”The kids are maturing in front of our eyes and that’s a neat thing. It’s one win and it’s back to the drawing board.

We want to keep getting better, that is our goal.”

Said Tiger Simeon Wilson, “We played well as a team, moved the ball pretty good and we’ll get better. Overall a good game.”

Added Jordan Larson, “We started really fast, played pretty good, and played a full game. Our defense was pretty good. Next week is going to be a challenge, but we can do it.”

Trenton Wols, “It was a hard, tough ball game, We kept together and worked hard. We put everything we had into it.”

Finished Coach Smith, “We’ll keep looking at where our strengths are, where are weaknesses are and where we have to improve as a team.”

Webster travels to Cameron on Friday to meet the Comets in a 7 p.m. game.

“I really thought Noah Koball and Tanner Lee set the tone of our D (defense) by containing their QB (quarterback). If we did that, we had a chance. Nathan Kosloski, Lukas Hunter and Sequoia Bellanger did a wonderful job plugging the hold and limited the runs inside all day. Steven Pruitt and Tristan Ortez did a great job of limiting the WR (wide receiver) to only five catches all day. Defense was a team effort and everyone did their job well all day long.”

“On offense, they (Prairie Farm) did a great job limiting the yards for Brady Mangen, holding him to 28 carries and 123 yards with one TD. The rest of the team picked it up and ran the ball 22 more times for 60 more yards.

“Dolan Highstrom had a good day throwing the ball, completing six of nine passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns.

“Tanner Lee had a HUGE touchdown catch to get us on the board in the first quarter, his first touchdown of the year.”

“Our talk all week was if you be-

lieve, good things will happen. We didn’t play afraid. We didn’t play scared. We played like we were the better team and that is why we were in the game and in the end, won it.

“After getting beat 58-6 each of the last two seasons, the kids played their hearts out and that makes me very proud as their coach.”

“Going to eight man football has been the best thing for our program. It has been a learning process and we are in year three of me being the head coach.

“In the early 2000’s, Siren had lost 43 games at one point and could barely get out enough guys to field an 11 man team. This year we are 4-1 and just beat the number one team in the state at their place. We have 33 kids out for football.

“The change to eight man has given us a chance to be competitive with schools of our own size and that gives kids hope. If they have hope that they can compete each week and if they work hard they have a chance to win, kids will have fun. That is what my kids are doing now, football is fun again in Siren.”

Siren is host to Clayton on Saturday in a 7 p.m. showdown.

Lady Pirates earn second at Rice Lake

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

RICE LAKE—A perfect afternoon for running allowed the Lady Pirates of Grantsburg to earn second place at the Rice Lake Cross County Invitational meet at WITC-Rice Lake last Tuesday.

The Pirates used three top 10 finishes to edge out Glenwood City by a point in the 16-team field.

Senior Hallie Jensen (4) was the first Pirate across the line, posting a time of 21:00.8. Teammate Grace Gerber (7) wasn’t too far behind at 21:07.2 and Brittanie Blume (8) was third for the Pirates at 21:22.4.

“It was the perfect weather and a beautiful, mostly flat course,” Pirate Coach Andrea Nightengale offered. “Many of our runners beat their PR (personal record) times, some by more than a ful minute.”

Danielle Bertelsen (39), Maddie Duncan (42) and Hope McKinley (52) were the next three across the line for the Pirates, posting times of 24:10.1, 24:23 and 25:03.7 respectively.

Holly Fiedler (90) rounded out the scoring for the Pirates, recording a time

of 28:15.2.

Sam Nelson (15) again led the Lady Tigers, crossing the line in 22:21.8 to finish first for Webster, followed by Sydney Raschke (38) and Ali Moritz with times of 24:09 and 24:52.2.

“Sydney ran a great race and was very consistent at the checkpoints,” Webster Coach Roy Ward praised. “She has a great attitude and it shows in her performance.”

The coach said Raschke and Jenna Gomulak improved the most — over a couple minutes.

The fourth Tiger across the line was Carolina Ivic in a time of 26:51.1, followed by Jeni Peterson and Jenna Gomulak, posting times of 28:33.2 and 28:39.3.

“Carolina has been working really hard and she ran well,” Ward added.

BOYS With 17 different teams and a total of 123 runners, Coach Ward summed it up best when he said, “There was plenty of competition and always someone to chase after. I was amazed we performed as well as we did. I guess the Tigers like the big meets.”

Hallie Jensen

Finishing at 17:04, Senior Andrew Ruiz (2) was the first Tiger across the line.

“It’s a nice time to post at this point in

the season,” Ward observed.

Joey Formanek was second for the Tigers, crossing the line in 18:43.2, followed by teammates Mason Schaaf (26) and Hunter Erickson (27), finishing four one-hundredths of a second apart at 19:02.2 and 19:02.6.

“It is always fun to watch the battle between Mason and Hunter,” the coach commented. “They both had a personal best race.”

Dustin Kern (76) was next for the Tigers, posting a time of 21:02.5, followed

by Kerik Stubbe (87) in a time of 21:22.1 with Trent Gustafson finishing the scoring for the Tigers, crossing the line in 25:09.8.

The Pirate boys finished 8th behind the running of Joe Duncan (14) and David MacKean (18), recording times of 18:38.3 and 18:44.4.

The third Pirate across the line was Joseph Ohnstad (37) in 19:20.2. Teammates Chris Hermann (64) and Jared Lee (73) in 20:46.4 and 20:55.8.

Trevor Vollendorf (88) and Sam Anderson (89) finished back-to-back in times of 21:23.4 and 21:24.2.

WISCONSIN OUTDOORS BRIEFING

Group to monitor Wisconsin bear hunters in light of new law MADISON, Wis. (AP) — An animal protection group plans to monitor bear hunters in Wisconsin in the first test of the state’s new hunter harassment law.

Rod Coronado, the founder of group Wolf Patrol, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that members will document

bear hunting activity in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.

“Our goal is to help law enforcement and record illegal activity,” Coronado said. “Our goal isn’t to harass hunters, but we won’t hesitate to exercise our constitutional rights.”

This year’s bear hunting season is the first to include increased protections

for hunters, anglers and trappers under legislation signed in April by Gov. Scott Walker. Starting last Wednesday, hunters are allowed to use dogs to hunt bears.

Coronado said the “Right to Hunt Act” impinges on the rights of non-hunting citizens to engage with the public land.

He said he believes the law would be

deemed unconstitutional if challenged in court.

“A bear hunter’s right isn’t greater than any other person’s right,” Coronado said. “We have as much right to be in the public forest as they do.”

The law expands protections to hunters during training, scouting and baiting activities.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2016

Marriage I have done three weddings during the past three months. I even had the privilege of officiating at my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding in July. God said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good for man to be alone. I will make a helpmate for him.â&#x20AC;?

Ecclesiastes chapter four says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two is better than one. A three-stranded cord is hard to break.â&#x20AC;?

The third cord is God. He created marriage. He wrote the manual for how it works best. He tells us what to do and what not to do. We are fallen creatures that have flaws, faults and weaknesses. Couples are very dif-

ferent individuals, yet God tells us to be one.

There can be trials, challenges and difficulties. The rewards are for now and for all eternity. The blessings are out of this world.

Psalm 127 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain.â&#x20AC;? We need to let God be the center of our marriage.

Matthew seven talks about two houses.

The storm comes against both houses. One stands. One falls. The one that has a solid foundation stands. The good foundation is God, His Holy Word, and a total commitment to do the will of God.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine trying to pastor without my amazing wife. She is a great supporter, fan and provides encouragement. She lifts me up when I experience valleys. She also rejoices and celebrates with me all the joys and success in life.

We both loved being parents and raising our son. Now he is married and we get to watch and experience the joys of their marriage as well.

God is so good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thank you, God, for creating marriage.

The need for a K-9 STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

Reaping what you sow

A demonstration showing the effectiveness of a K-9 police dog was conducted on Saturday at Grantoberfest in Grantsburg. Deputy Cory Fossum and Deputy Brian Witt brought the police K-9 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talonâ&#x20AC;? from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Douglas County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in Superior to show a Police K-9 at work ďŹ nding drugs and apprehending a criminal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will wonder how you ever got along this long without one,â&#x20AC;? Witt remarked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to have one in place by the ďŹ rst of the year, and a second Police K-9 next year,â&#x20AC;? commented Sheriff Ron Wilhelm.

Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful weather was perfect for chopping corn as the fall harvest season began in Burnett County. Gary Peterson of Four Cubs Farm near Grantsburg said this corn chopper and a half dozen trucks hauled 14,000 tons of corn to the farm in ďŹ ve days to help feed their 800-plus dairy herd through the winter.

WEBSTER SENIORS

by Bernie Bolter

Another season is gone. Fall is my favorite time of year, and the leaves are starting to turn already.

Our appreciation to Randy Magnuson for the garden goodies he brings to the center. Everyone enjoys fresh veggies.

We had a large group for dime bingo this week and all enjoyed the treats furnished by Jane. We play every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. There is always room for more. Just come in and join the fun.

There were four players each for pool and dominoes. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the names of the winners. They are played every Thursday at 1 p.m.

Our Wii bowling season got off to a rousing start on Friday. We have six teams this year and, to shake things up a little, we drew for partners instead of picking our own. Everyone seemed to have a good time by the sound of joking and laughter.

LaJuana had high individual game with 255. Bill B had high individual se-

ries with 443. The team with no name yet had high team game and series with 833 and 1530. There were many 200 games. Splits picked up were: LaJuana 5-7, Dana 5-10, Bill B 5-10 and Bernie 3-78. Good job by all.

Birthday wishes to Bill Prock, Curt Johnson, Randy Magnuson, Bill Lalor, Vickie Prock, Abby Brand, Harvey Thompson and all others celebrating their special day this month.

Nickie continues to serve tasty lunches. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in to enjoy one, stop in and pick up a menu and sign up for your favorite. For more information call 715-866-5300.

The decorating fairies have been in and changed the dĂŠcor to fall and Halloween. Yes, that is coming up fast.

The center is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stop in for a cup of coffee and use the WiFi. See you at the center.
