GRANTSBURG— A Hershey bar once cost .50 cents. Now it’s a $1.49 in most places. Gas prices fluctuate like the tides and college tuitions are so costly they are almost comical. Library services are free— still. However, the main argument seems to be that a Kindle, laptop or smart phone can serve as a library. A room full of books is irrelevant. Yes, it is true that a person can carry thousands of books around in their pocket or handbag, but are books all modern libraries offer? Far from it. “We are not a business. We are a service,” said Kristina Kelley-Johnson, the Grantsburg Library Director since 2014. “This is a free resource that you have. Not just to check out books, but to spend time with your families. I want anybody who finds they can use this library to use it. It’s yours,” she said. With all of the resources available to the community, the Grantsburg Pubic Library serves as an extension of the home. It is an archaic idea that a library is solely a warehouse of books. Here in Grantsburg, the director and her crew offer the community a wide range of resources. Some of these resources include: Wi-Fi, computer access, tax filing service, local genealogy assistance provided by volunteer historians, a free Ancestry.com database, meeting rooms for not-for-profit organizations, and literacy programs for preschool and grade school age children. The director focuses much of her time catering to families SEE LIBRARY, PAGE 6

‘Six-foot hurdle’ blocking emergency communications BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

HERTEL—More than $200,000 in new digital emergency communications equipment sits idle, never used, as Burnett County, the St. Croix Band of Chippewa and a power company wrangle over a six-foot easement. The emergency equipment that would assist law enforcement, fire protection and ambulance service has no electrical hookup. The issue affects not only the Hertel area but most of northeastern Burnett County and another tower in southeastern Burnett County, including the towns of Rusk, Dewey and Roosevelt. It further hampers inter-county communications from reaching the Barronnett tower in southeastern Burnett County. At last Wednesday’s Infrastructure Committee meeting, Burnett County Administrator Nate Ehalt explained the situation, “As you committee members SEE WATER TOWER, PAGE 16

PINE CITY — Pine County Sheriff’s Department and insurance company personnel are investigating a fire they believe was intentionally set in the men’s bathroom at the Pine City Country Store, a gas station/convenience store owned and operated by Cliff and Darla Harper of the Grantsburg County Store. Cliff Harper said the insurance investigators suspect the fire was started at the electronic hand sanitizer dispenser. The investigators said the sanitizer liquid is about 70 percent alcohol and can catch fire when exposed to flame. After it was set afire, the sanitizer fell from its wall-mount to the floor against the wall in a corner where the fire spread into the bathroom wall, insulation, ceiling tiles, ductwork and into a second bathroom. Dense smoke filled the store and deposited black soot on ceilings, shelves, store fixtures and merchandise. “We had to close the store immediately,” Cliff Harper said. He added the insurance company brought in a professional cleanup crew, who discarded enough smoke- and fire-damaged merchandise and equipment to fill a 10-yard dumpster. “They have lot of clean-up yet to do and we will be shut down for almost two weeks,” said Harper. They hope to re-open the Pine City Country Store on Friday, April 21. The Harpers said authorities have identified one or more young male suspects who were observed at the scene of the fire, which occurred about 4 p.m. Monday, April 10. Fire and smoke damaged both bathrooms enough that they had to be demolished and replaced, Darla Harper said. The insurance investigators estimated structural damages at $60-70,000, plus another $30-40,000 in lost merchandise. She said insurance will help cover business losses in addition to the repair and cleanup expenses. Pine City Fire Department extinguished and investigated the fire. They were assisted in their investigation by Pine County Sheriff’s deputies and the Minnesota State Fire Marshall. “Someone is going to pay for it,” Cliff Harper said. “The insurance company will probably go after the suspects or their parents.”

Out for a walk and... It’s not news that a good, long walk after a long day is healthy. I’d say we have it pretty good up here: lakes, pines, eagles. And, of course, all the trails that offer miles of mind-freeing expedition. Well, behind my house is the Gandy Dancer Trail. I have found myself on many nights just strolling down past where a beaver has marked nearly every tree within 30 yards. At the base of the trunks, shreds of bark are scattered like confetti, and I am delighted each night to see how much has accumulated since my last visit. Every now and then I hear the smack of his tail against the water which is quickly followed by the frantic flutter of duck wings until they settle in the pond on the opposite side of the trail. It’s a melody with different variations each time. Now, further on down where lakes and ponds are not visible, I have felt my pace quicken — the darkness of Sentinel the woods is both romantic and a bit chilling. One night, I was parEditor ticularly calm because my mind Sean Devlin due to a new job - could not possibly manage strenuous thinking; I was gassed. So, my walk was pleasant as I remember focusing on the smells around me, mainly the pines. I wasn’t aware of how far I walked or the time of night. The world was silent and a slight breeze enhanced the coveted pine fragrance. Then, the stillness was ambushed by furious flapping to my right. Twigs and rusty leaves were flying up and falling down all in about a five-foot area. I had been carrying a mug of tea and much of it was running down my arm and I was facing a different direction then I had seconds before. Oh, and I may have shouted something. Soon I was laughing despite being paranoid that an angry turkey may confront me on the topic of disturbing his or her... something. After about 40 steps further down the trail and an embarrassing number of over-the-shoulder checks, I was back to smelling the pines and kicking pine-cones down the dusty lane. I found myself by a lake; I don’t know what lake as I haven’t studied a map quite yet, but it was a lovely lake with a dozen houses sitting sleepy on its shores. Then I saw the sign. POSTED: KEEP OFF: UNLAWFUL. The small sign, the size a cereal box, had been tied to a metal fence. And not 10 feet way was another sign, identical in message, nailed to a pine tree. There were three signs in total posted on this property. On my walk back, I began to notice more of these signs on several properties, weathered signs which seem to have melted into the fence. I hope they have not been subject to crime or harassment, but I also hope these signs do not hang in pure defense — a statement tinged with threat for the “just in case.” It’s a topic that I can’t seem to shake. Not to mention, it enforces a feeling of separation and muddies the scenery. Tell me what you think. By phone, 715- 463-2341. By email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. And, do check out our site and Facebook page; we keep a few stories running on each.

Racist rabbits? BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

I hope you had a great Easter weekend with friends and family. One of the joys for my wife and I was having our daughters and granddaughters come to our home for a sleepover and Easter-egg related fun the next day. Filling plastic eggs with candy is a task that I have helped with for many years. During the years that my daughters were growing up, I would hide the eggs. They would be hidden outdoors if the weather was nice, inFrom the Publisher’s doors if it wasn’t so nice. One of the extra flourishes I enjoyed Desk was writing a note to my daughters. I would write the note left handed (I’m Tom Stangl right handed), grasping the pen with i h d I printed the note and reversed some my entire hand. letters — e and s mainly — and commented about how hard it was to write without a thumb. Yes, it was corny, but it was my way of making Easter special for my daughters. Recently when we were discussing those early Easters, my daughters told me that they had figured out — thanks to my notes — that I was the Easter Bunny many years ago, but played along, not wanting to spoil my fun. When the granddaughters visit, we play at the park or in the back yard and if the weather isn’t so nice, we play inside. Eventually, we turn to electronic screens for entertainment. One of the joys of my childhood was watching the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon shorts produced by Warner Brothers from 1930 to 1969. Designed to be part of a movie program that would include a newsreel and perhaps a short film, the cartoons

were not exactly targeted at children. As a child, I watched the shorts in glorious black and white every weekday afternoon after getting home from school. For many years, the shorts were aired on Saturday mornings as well. If you want to watch these animated shorts today, you will need to shell out some money to purchase them on DVD. I received several collections from my children as Christmas presents in the past, and one of the things I enjoy doing with the granddaughters is watching Bugs Bunny. The collection that I own has an introduction by Whoopi Goldberg on every disc. Goldberg comes on screen and praises the timeless comedic genius of the Looney Tunes before beginning a mini lecture about how racist and insensitive some of the portrayals of women, minorities and ethnic groups were, and that they were a product of their times. Goldberg says that it would be wrong to censor these cartoons, but they should be viewed as entertainment only. I appreciate the sentiment and agree to a certain point, but I think including the “disclaimer” on one disc would have been enough. I have never considered these cartoons anything but funny, but I’m a white guy. I have never believed that women, minorities and ethnic groups portrayed in the cartoons were anything but caricatures, like the idiot giant who says to Bugs Bunny, “DUH…you can’t fool me — I’m a moron!” To read anything more into these classics which have aged remarkably well is just plain wrong. I will still enjoy them with my grandchildren. Laughter is something we could all use more of in this life. As always, I welcome your comments.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ‘Thank ‘Th k you ffor your service’ i ’

GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe

To the Editor: Whenever I see a person in uniform, whether they are military, law enforcement, fire-fighters or emergency responders, I make it a point to walk up to them and say, “Thank you for your service.” Recently I have been on the “receiving end” of that expression of appreciation, either in uniform or while wearing my “U.S. Navy - Retired” cap. It is a humbling experience. A couple of years ago, I was on an early morning flight from Norfolk, VA to Minneapolis. As I was buckling myself into my coach-section seat in the back of the plane, the airline attendant came to me and announced: “A gentleman up in first class has requested to change seats with you.” At first I resisted, but a couple of fellow passengers said, “Go ahead sailor, you deserve it.” When I arrived at the first-class section, the gentlemen stood up, smiled and said: “This is just my way of saying thank you for your service to our country.” I was deeply moved by his generous gesture. I hope he enjoyed my pop and peanuts in coach while I feasted on his full-course breakfast, enjoyed an abundance of leg room and appreciated the first-class restroom nearby! This past week, clad again in my “Retired Navy” cap, I was shopping at a Minnesota Wal-mart store. At the express check-out, the final tally came to just under $57. But, my credit card would not work in their new “chip reader.” The supervisor came, attempted

the same, but to no avail. I explained that I hadn’t enough cash with me to cover my purchase, and could I work this out at the Customer Service desk? She said that may be an option, so with my cartful of bagged purchases, I moved forward a few paces and proceeded to call the credit card company on my cell phone. One of the two customers who had to wait through my awkward dilemma walked by with her cart of purchases, gave me a warm smile and said, “Thank you for your service.” I thanked her for her patience and kindness and went on with my call. A couple seconds later, the supervisor came up to me with a tally of my purchases and announced, “There’s no charge. That customer who just left the store has paid for your purchases. She said it was her way of thanking you for your service to our country.” At that point, I totally lost it and burst into tears! Then the supervisor smiled and said: “Maybe you can ‘pay it forward,’ though I think you have already through your service to our country.” In this time of political division, when I feel discouraged about the state of our nation’s future, my hope is rekindled through these selfless acts of patriotism! Perhaps we are yet “one nation under God, indivisible.” God bless us all, and God bless the United States of America! With folks like this, our greatest days may yet be ahead!

Oh! The signs of spring are here! Trees are budding, the frogs are singing, bees, birds and mosquitoes! We have also seen and welcomed back many of the snowbirds as Memory Lake Park is filling up its spaces. We were very thankful for the sunshine on Easter Day, especially after the many very wet Easter egg hunts on Saturday in the rain! If you’re like most of us, you will be eating a lot of ham leftovers this week, which is a lot less rich than the multitude of chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs and jelly beans we indulged in over the weekend. Remember, our evening dining starts at 5 p.m. this Thursday. And, don’t forget to take in the Grantsburg Area Historical Society’s annual meeting starting at 7 p.m. at Crex Meadows Wildlife Education Center.

Remember, you can drop off used eyeglasses any day for the Lion’s Club and boxtop labels for the school.

GRANTSBURG— We all know the main ingredients of a small town Wisconsin music festival: local bands, a few favorite bars, good people. For the past 18 years, Grantsburg has offered Burnett County exactly this, but with a generous twist – all proceeds go to the special needs classes in the Grantsburg school district. “It wouldn’t be as big without it,” said co-founder Mike ‘Hummer’ Janke, owner of The Rendezvous. Pinko Jam attracts numerous people from around Burnett County and others that have either moved away or have friends in the area. This Saturday event escalates a population of 1,341 closer to 2,000, and, at times, even higher. The town is packed and the weekend air is filled with Rock’ n Roll and laugher – and donations to a good cause. The bands donate their time to the event and some, like Scott Harter and Friends, and Dave Giffert, have been participating for 16 years. “Everyone looks forward to it in the community, nobody complains about donating,” said Hummer. Kari Green and Adam Olson, both Grantsburg spe-

cial education teachers, feel that Pinko Jam is a gift of sorts. “We don’t take anything for granted,” said Olson. The special education program at Grantsburg is referred to as cross-categorical as it assists in the education for individuals whose disabilities range quite widely. Every year for 16 years the program has received donations from Pinko Jam, and the money – distributed to the middle school and high school – is used for anything that pertains to academics. However, this idea is conceptualized in a broad and creative manner. A tradition of sorts began nine years ago when a group of students was taken to a Minnesota Twins game. Every year following has been the same story. The group wasted no time this year as Pinko Jam occurred on April 8, and a group of students had the pleasure of attending a Twin’s game just days ago; a game in which the Twins defeated the Kansas City Royals 9-1. The students, 26 in total, also enjoyed a tour of Target Field. While Green and Olson use much of the funds to provide classroom supplies for the students, these two educators think outside the box. The money raised by Pinko Jam lends to the moral building of the individuals involved in the special education program – it offers opportunities not previously available, which, in turn, contributes to academic achievement. Moral inspires achievement. Green recalls one of her favorite moments of her 12 years working with the Grantsburg special needs program as one where she accompanied a group to the Twin Cities and one boy exclaimed, “Oh my gosh. Look at the city. Look at the buildings.” And, while the generosity of the bar owners has offered funding for enjoyable trips, it has brought a cultural perspective as well. “If you asked the kids in this program how many times they have left Grantsburg, they’d say a handful of times, that’s it,” said Olson. He added, “It’s different (the city). And, that’s really important that they have those opportunities.” Green and Olson are also able to fund picnics, golf and fishing outings, and end-of-quarter celebrations with the money from Pinko Jam. “Thank you Hummer and The Legion,” smiled Green.

The Capitol Report - Mixed response to Walker proposal to nix exams for some apprentices BY WISPOLITICS.COM

MADISON—Union officials and some business owners say the state would be less safe under a Walker administration budget plan to exempt those who finished some state-approved apprenticeship programs from taking an exam to get their license. The exemption would apply to journeyman plumbers, electricians and sprinkler fitters, as well as barbers and cosmetologists. Walker’s administration says it would decrease barriers to entry in the workforce. It’s part of a broader effort from Gov. Scott Walker and his Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) to review whether the state has gone too far in adding licensing requirements. But, the proposal faces opposition from union officials and some business owners who say the tests are a necessary safeguard, ensuring those who get a license know state codes and safety rules. Mike Biel, business agent and training coordinator at Sprinkler Fitters Local 183, said the testing requirement isn’t a barrier and is “just a way to judge everybody’s competency.” “It’s only got one chance to work,” Biel said of fire sprinklers. “If it’s not installed correctly, there is no second chance because people die, buildings burn.” Most people who take the tests pass them, though the pass rates are signifi-

cantly lower for journeyman electrician licenses, according to data DSPS provided to WisPolitics.com. Sixty-two percent of people who took the journeyman electric test between 2014 and 2016 passed it. For journeyman plumbers and journeyman automatic fire sprinkler system fitters, the pass rates were all above 85 percent. Meanwhile, 79 percent passed the written cosmetology test and 93 percent passed the practical test. For barbers, the written pass rate was 83 percent and practical pass rate was 92 percent. DSPS spokeswoman Alicia Bork said the exams “pose a barrier to work.” “DSPS supports the elimination of exams for apprentices we license, which removes a layer of bureaucracy and holds schools and apprenticeship programs accountable,” she said. “These individuals have already completed an apprenticeship through the Department of Workforce Development or [the federal Department] of Labor and eliminating the exam removes a barrier to work, allowing them to get into the workforce more quickly.” Some contractors, such as Jeff Disher of Stevens Point’s Disher Electric Inc., support the idea. Disher said the tests don’t fully reflect apprentices’ skills, saying those who are bad at testing can be “the best electrician on the job.” “I don’t think it’s a perfect gauge to say that’s a better electrician,” he said. Others oppose it, including Mark Blemberg, the general manager of ARC Fire Protection in Hartland, who de-

scribed himself as a “very proud supporter of Gov. Walker.” He said those trades require significant training and education, and the examination is a good way to ensure “these individuals are qualified.” Both are members of Associated Builders and Contractors, a trade association largely made up of non-union businesses. ABC of Wisconsin hasn’t taken a position on the issue yet but has heard from members on it, according to John Schulze, the group’s director of government relations. Terry Hayden, business manager at the Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 434, said as a training coordinator, he saw a handful of cases of people not working hard during their apprenticeships. Without a test, he said, those people “would be in the field installing things incorrectly.” “You’ve got a baseline, a guarantee that the people that are installing plumbing systems in the state have the knowledge to do it properly and safely,” he said. “It’s the water we drink and the waste that we flush, but it has to be done safely.” Barbers and cosmetologists make the same safety argument. Jeff Patterson, a barber who owns JP Hair Design in Madison and chairs the DSPS Barbery Advisory Committee, said barber licenses let people do coloring and chemical services. But during apprenticeships, he said, they often don’t get to practice that since most of what they do are clipper cuts and shaves. “We’re really saying if you grant them a license that they’re competent at performing chemical services,” he said. “And if they don’t take an exam, they’re not measured on that.”

NEWSLINE

NEW LICENSE PLATES HAVE 7 CHARACTERS

MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin license plates have featured six characters for more than 30 years. But, that’s about to change. The state Department of Transportation expects to begin issuing plates with seven numbers and letters beginning later this month as the inventory of six-character plates dwindles. Department of Corrections prisoners are already making the plates. The six-character plates allowed for about 20 million different combinations. It will take quite a while to exhaust the seven-character plates with up to 100 million combinations possible. The new plates will start with letters first, then the four digits. That’s a reversal from the current combination in which numbers are first.

GOV. WALKER TO SIGN BILL MAKING MARIJUANA EXTRACT AVAILABLE

The governor has scheduled a bill signing for Monday in Burlington. The Republican-controlled Legislature this year approved a bill to make cannabidiol legal with a doctor’s certification. The oil doesn’t produce a high. Parents of children who suffer seizures say it can ease symptoms. Walker said earlier he supported a narrowly crafted measure on medical marijuana.

Unplanned ‘Lake Roundabout’ ﬁlled

New Grantsburg signs list wrong population BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

Gravel trucks and bulldozers hired by the DOT worked last week to ﬁll and level the ponds at the area sometimes called ‘Lake Roundabout’ at Burnett County Airport. BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN— “Lake Roundabout” is no more. The intended drainage lagoons that turned into spring-fed ponds at Burnett County Airport have been filled with many tons of gravel during the past week. Over the past couple of years, some Burnett County Supervisors and others derisively called the ponds “Lake Roundabout” in a poke at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT). DOT-contracted excavators first dug the ponds in 2015 to provide runoff drainage for the new roundabout; however, excavation exposed the area’s high water table and instead turned the lagoons into two spring-fed ponds. They became a popular place for ducks and geese, which added a potential new hazard for pilots landing at the airport. Last fall, the DOT attempted to drain the ponds by suctioning water from the

ponds into tanker trucks. That proved futile as spring water just refilled the ponds. What many locals saw as an embarrassment of poor engineering and planning by the DOT now is gone. Bulldozers and dump trucks from Merrill (WI) Gravel and Construction Company worked for about a week to bring gravel and spread it to refill the lagoons. In the future, excess water that collects in that area will be diverted to the southeast, under the roundabout via a culvert that was already in place. In cases of very heavy rainfall, water from the airport property may also flow northward along the east side of Hwy. 35. During discussion of the project at last week’s Infrastructure Committee meeting, Burnett County Administrator Nate Ehalt reminded members that the southeast corner of the airport property near the former lagoons has always been wet and swampy, so they might expect to see some standing water in that area in the future.

Plan Perfect the

GRANTSBURG—When the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) replaced the Grantsburg name/ population signs along State Road 70 last week, local residents were less than thrilled. The green and white DOT signs with the name “Grantsburg” that visitors and residents see as they enter the village on Hwy. 70 from the east or west now read “Pop. 590.” Hey, we’re a lot bigger than that! A citizen’s call to the Sentinel led to a drive-by check of the signs on the community edges. Coming into the village from the south on State Road 48/87, the sign remains unchanged and reads “Pop. 1341.” That is the official 2010 U.S. Census number. As one caller said, “If you live in a city with 100,000 or more people, it’s not a big deal if your town’s sign is off by a few hundred people, but in a town our size, it’s important.” DOT Traffic Safety Engineer Mike Larson of the Eau Claire DOT office said he doesn’t work directly with highway signs and isn’t sure how the error occurred. But, he was certain the error would not be fixed overnight. “It takes about six weeks to get the signs made and another two to four

weeks to get them put up, so don’t expect them to be changed until later this summer,” Larson said.

When public notices reach the public, everyone benefits. Some officials want to move notices from newspapers to government-run websites, where they may not be easily found.

One text or call could wreck it all BY RESTORATIVE JUSTICE OF NW WI, INC.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, an effort to recognize and reduce distracting behaviors behind the wheel. Distracted driving is any activity that takes your attention away from the road. Driving calls for your full attention. In Wisconsin, there is a distracted driving crash every 22 minutes! Too many motorists still talk and text on cell phones while behind the wheel. It is not only illegal to text and drive, it can be deadly. Estimates indicate that drivers using cell phones may look at the road, but fail to actually see up to 50 percent of the information in their driving environment. Distracted driving is dangerous to beginner and expert drivers alike. One in five crashes involve distracted driving. In 2015, there were 24,089 car crashes resulting from distracted driving in Wisconsin. While texting and driving is a leading cause of distraction behind the wheel, distracted driving is any activity that takes a person’s attention away from the primary task of driving. There are three main types of distraction: Manual – taking your hands off the wheel. Visual – taking your eyes off the road. Cognitive – taking your mind off of driving. If you are tired, pull off the road and rest awhile. Only use your cell phone for emergencies. If the temptation is too great, turn the phone off or put it in the trunk of your car. Avoid over loading your vehicle, limit the number of passengers and remember their safety is your responsibility. Avoid activities other than concentrating on the road, such as eating. Driving is a privilege and it is important to resist distractions in order to keep everyone safe. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

ST. CROIX FALLS—Franklin Square Black Box welcomes back singer/songwriter Carrie Elkin in concert Friday, April 28 as part of her tour that includes the U.S., England, Scotland and Netherlands. With the theater’s limited capacity, patrons are encouraged to make reservations as soon as possible at FestivalTheatre.org, or by emailing festivaltheatreboxoffice@gmail.com or by calling the box office at 715-483-3387. Elkin has earned a reputation for a sound both tender and evocative. Her sixth and newest album, The Penny Collector, doesn’t disappoint. Franklin Square Black Box’s intimate venue is just her style and complements the way her songs draw the listener. The Penny Collector is soulful and reverent, with good reason: the album was released just over a month ago, recorded after her father’s passing and her daughter’s birth. This unique album inspired Elmore Magazine’s Lee Zimmerman to say, “The lingering sadness is pervasive throughout, making Elkin’s hushed, mournful delivery both affecting and embracing. Plaintive and reflective, the music seems to flow from the core of Elkin’s soul, casting a quiet haze that’s often barely above a whisper.” This will be her fourth visit to Festival Theatre and first since 2014. She comes again with Danny Schmidt, her musical partner and husband.

• Only one appointment needed for crowns.

• No more sensitive temporaries.

Siren High School gets Robotics League grant MADISON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Robotics teams from Siren and St. Croix Falls High School were among 125 teams from public, charter and private schools as well as homeschool student groups sharing $250,000 in grants to support their participation in Robotics League competition. Siren High School received a $1,264 grant. Teams eligible for grant awards are made up of high school students in grades 9 - 12 who work with a mentor to design, construct, program and operate a robot that will compete at a robotics event. Grant funds cover fees, required kits and supplies to participate in robotics competition, travel expenses for eligible team members and a stipend for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

mentor. The grant support is intended to encourage more student interest in the STEM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Robotics League Participation Grants were enacted as part of Wisconsin Act 280 in March of 2016. The one-time $250,000 grant program for the 2016-17 school year was intended to provide awards of up to $5,000 and required applicants to secure matching funds equal to the amount requested. Because participation grant requests exceeded funds available in the state budget, grant awards were prorated to each eligible applicant.

12 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Bandit is a one-year-old Basset Hound who was recently surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him. I haven’t had the privilege to personally meet Bandit yet; however, I am going by information received by one of our other volunteers, Kris, who spent an afternoon with him for a meet-and-greet at the Siren pet store. Bandit is a happy-golucky fellow who loves everyone he meets – even the Easter Bunny! I guess he could be described as calm, cool and collectBandit and the ed (my dream dog). If Easter Bunny we were to say anything semi-negative, it would be that he is still working on his potty training, although he got an A+ during his afternoon at the pet store with no accidents. The children at this event fell in love with Bandit and he proved himself very adoptable for any age. If you are interested in this fellow, I’d get online now to apply for him as I have a feeling he’ll be going fast. A quick thanks to The Siren Pet Store for having Bandit and his volunteer friends out on the Saturday of Easter weekend, and for donating the proceeds from the Easter Bunny Photo Op to our shelter and other animal charities. A reminder that our Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser is scheduled for 5 - 8 Bandit p.m. Saturday, May 6, at the Webster Community Center. We are still looking for new donated items for the Silent Auction, as well as desserts for our dinner. Please contact Cheri if you are interested in donating to the Silent Auction, as this year we are attempting something new and exciting.

If you are interested in adopting any of the animals from the shelter, please visit the website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization. It does not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

Outdoor writer Emily Stone to speak April 20 in Webster

SUBMITTED

Emily Stone, Natural Connections writer

WEBSTER—Come explore all four wonderful seasons in the northwoods with a knowledgeable guide and author Emily Stone. Stone is the Naturalist/Education Director at the Cable Natural History Museum in Cable and writes a weekly ‘Natural Connections’ column published regularly in The Sentinel. At the heart of her talk is Emily’s passion for sharing her discoveries with both kids and adults. Join her on a hike, paddle or ski and you’ll soon be captivated by her animated style and knack for turning any old thing into a shining bit of stardust. In stories about the smell of rain, cheating ants, photosynthesizing salamanders and more, she delves deeply into the surprising science behind our northwoods neighbors and then emerges with a more complex understanding of their beauty. Themes like adaptations, symbiotic relationships, the cycles of nature and the fluidness of life and death float through every topic. Emily Stone is a naturalist by birth, training, profession and passion. Her childhood spent as a “mud and water daughter” in northeast Iowa led to a degree in outdoor education from Northland College and a Field Naturalist Masters from the University of Vermont. She has earned multiple “Excellence in Craft” awards from the Outdoor Writers Association of America. She loves gardening, cross country skiing, mountain biking and canoeing in the Boundary Waters. Emily’s book will be available for purchase and signing. Emily’s first book, Natural Connections: Exploring Northwoods Nature through Science and Your Senses is on sale at cablemuseum.org. Refreshments will be provided by Friends of the Larsen Family Public Library.

‘Sandwich Generation’ This last week was full of ups and downs and decisions. My dad was hospitalized out-of-state with serious health problems. Trying to care for a loved one from far away doesn’t work and creates its own stress, so he moved in with us last week. I didn’t know what a “Sandwich Generation” was until now. Someone said we are living out the definition – a generation of people, typically in their 30s or 40s, responsible for bringing up their own children while also caring for their aging parents. It’s impossible to know what that Wild Chow means until you are actually doing it. Lisa Erickson I never thought it would happen before our two youngest sons went to college. They are excited to have their grandfather living with us. He is very funny and entertaining – when he visits. Living with someone full time is not the same as having them visit. I figured we would cook dinner together and complete a woodworking project or two, but the reality is he is aging and can’t do what he used to. I have released my expectations and I am focusing on being happy to spend time with him. Change is hard. Dad was living alone for 27 years and now he is in a house with two teenage boys, a spunky six-month-old Labradoodle puppy, a cat, a fish, my hus-

band and me. The adjustment has been funny, sad and frustrating all at the same time – for all of us. The one thing that we all agree on is good food. Dad is a big part of my love of cooking. It was his favorite thing to do, but his newest hobby is napping. It has been fun cooking for him instead of with him. He has been sick for a while and is very appreciative that someone is cooking for him. His favorite comfort food is spaghetti and I made that the night he arrived. It was satisfying watching him clear his plate after seeing him push food around on his plate at the hospital for a week. I know this will be an adjustment for us all, but I’m happy being “sandwiched” among those I love.

committed with the intent to obtain a Gary Nelson fraudulent outcome from an insurance process. Conservatively, fraud steals $80 billion a year across all lines of insurance according to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud. Fraud comprises about 10 percent of property-casualty losses and loss adjustment expenses each year. Everyone who purchases insurance helps cover the costs of fraud through higher premiums. If you know of someone you suspect has committed fraud, please contact your insurance agent or company. We all have to be vigilant to help keep our costs down.

Q. Why is getting pre-approved

Q. What is laser dentistry and how can it help me?

Q. Should I include a cover letter

for a mortgage important?

Getting pre-approved is an important first Jean Lundgren step in the home buying process. It gives you an estimate of what you can afford & an overview of the loan programs that work best for you. Many loan programs have criteria for the property as well as the buyer, so knowing which programs & price point you qualify for helps you ensure the property you choose will work with your loan. In the current market, homes are selling quickly so having a preapproval letter from your lender shows the seller you’re prepared & are a serious buyer. It can also give you an edge over other offers in a competing offer situation. 651-308-2221 jeanlundgren@gmail.com jeanlundgren.com

MEDICAL ADVICE

How can I “spring clean” my medicine cabinet?

A. For safety reasons, it’s important to de-

Linae Hicks clutter your medicine cabinet every six months to avoid misuse and abuse. As you de-clutter your medicine cabinet, discard expired medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, since they can be ineffective or even toxic. The expiration date is the best way to know the strength of a medicine. If you’re unsure, safely dispose of medications that smell bad, are discolored, dried out, separated, or do not look right in any way. Get rid of leftover prescription medications from a previous illness and any medications which are not in their original container. Do not flush or throw old medications away! To safely dispose of them, drop them off in the pill drop box at the Burnett County Sheriff ’s Department entrance of the Burnett County Government Center or take them to the St. Croix Tribal Police Department’s pill drop box. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

A. Most people know lasers are used in medicine and corrective eye surgery. At River Place Dental, Dr. Dr Heather Marks

Dr. Rollyn Lee Dr

we have been using state-of-the-art dental lasers for many years because of the minimally invasive dentistry we can provide our patients. Our dental lasers work by combining a fine water spray and laser light energy, similar to a miniature power washer. They don’t have the high pitched sound and vibration many people associate with going to the dentist. The lasers can be used to remove cavities, treat gum disease and remove excess gum tissue. Most children find the laser very comfortable when getting cavities filled. Often there is less pain during procedures and fewer injections needed for numbing. We are always welcoming new patients into our dental family and would love to see you!

This law, called the “Move Over Law,” requires drivers to change lanes or slow down in order to provide a “safety zone” for a squad car, ambulance, fire truck, tow truck, utility vehicle, or highway maintenance vehicle that is stopped on the side of a road with its warning lights flashing. Failing to adhere to this law can have two results: three demerit points against your license and a $249 fine, or if you are involved in an accident ,your driver’s license will be suspended and you may serve up to seven years in prison if you hurt or kill someone.

Staffing with employers and that’s why getting it right is so important. Think of it as a way to brag about Consultant yourself and your accomplishments. Each cover letter needs to be tailored for the specific company and position you are applying for. Include a solid greeting, a few career achievements, why you would be a great fit for the company and always end with a request for an interview. Double check your work for punctuation and spelling. You might be the best candidate for the job, but one typo can send your cover letter and resume right into the shredder. A well-executed resume along with a professional and exciting cover letter will move you to the top of the candidate list!

mattress designed to properly support your body allows you to achieve deep sleep faster. You’ll feel more rested when you wake, be more productive during the day, and you’ll get more enjoyment from your recreational activities. Today’s “smart” foam mattresses are designed to cradle your body, regulate your body’s temperature, and relieve sensitive pressure points so you’ll stay asleep longer without being awoken by the typical joint pain that causes you to toss and turn. Adding an Adjustable Lifestyle base lets you customize your sleeping position which takes pressure off your lower back, helps open your airways, and often reduces or eliminates snoring. An Adjustable Lifestyle base will also accommodate any future mattress purchases. You’ll be making a one-time purchase that will improve your sleep for many years.

WATER TOWER: Lack of six-foot easement leaves emergency radio gear idle CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

may or may not be aware, we have all of our tower communications sites built out,” Ehalt said. “But, we continue to run into what is literally a six-foot issue at the Hertel water tower,” he continued.

Delay unclear “A power source needs to be run by Polk Burnett Electric Utility in order to power our communications equipment. “We’re not sure why, but Polk Burnett has not been granted the easement to complete that power connection. “Until that connection is made, all that equipment sits idle that could serve our emergency communications across the county. We need to have some seri-

ous communication about this situation and figure out what we can do to get it connected. “We are not entirely sure why this easement has not been granted to Polk Burnett, but it hasn’t. “So, there we sit with $200,000 worth of equipment, on multiple towers, that can’t relay connections into our county dispatching system,” Ehalt continued. “We have our generator, our shelter, our propane fuel tank all standing by. ‘All the necessary equipment is already located on top of the water tower. The fiber optic communication cable and connection is there.

nal into the government center. “We’re not really sure how to handle it, and it’s something this committee needs to be aware of,” Ehalt explained.

Reaching out “The two parties involved at this point are Polk Burnett Electric Utility and the tribal attorney, and we’re not sure what has or hasn’t happened. “Our Emergency Management Department has reached out to its tribal counterpart,” Ehalt said. “I have too. ‘Neither one of us have been able to get anywhere or reach an understanding.”

Polk Burnett wants easement Everything ready “Everything is ready to go. It’s just a matter of having power to bring that sig-

Committee member Rick Anderson asked, “So there is literally a six-foot gap in the connections, and the power company just needs to plow the cable?” Ehalt responded, “Without an easement, without a signed document from the tribe that grants permission to go on the property and make the connection, the power company isn’t willing to proceed. “SirenTel Communications was willing to go in and hook up its fiber connection on a handshake deal and put in the connection, but Polk Burnett won’t do that. They want something signed.”

Committee member Emmett (Buzz) Byrne asked, “They (the tribe) did grant permission to use the tower, right? “It seems to me that making the connection would be part of that agreement.” Ehalt agree but added, “We are working with a sovereign nation here, so it’s not exactly the same situation you would have

if you were dealing with the DNR, for example.”

‘Flabbergasted’

The commitee chairman Jeremy Gronski used the word “flabbergasted” to describe the situation. “This was supposed to be resolved and operational back in 2010,” he said . “Yes, it’s an incredibly unfortunate situation because it has an impact on all public safety operations in our area,” Ehalt concurred. Byrne said, “It just seems to me that this was part of the original understanding of using the tower.” Ehalt said he understood and agreed, but could also see the power company’s desire for the legal document, too.

Sheriff’s input

A committe member asked Burnett County Sheriff Ron Wilhelm, who was listening silently, how the Tribal Police felt about that communications equipment sitting idle. “The Tribal Police don’t have anything to say about it at all,” Wilhelm responded. “They have taken a hands-off approach to it. They have their own radios, communications tower and dispatch system, separate from Burnett County, so it doesn’t affect the Tribal PD. “The sad part of it is,” Wilhelm added, “that not having that tower affects all of the southern corner of Burnett County and the Barronett tower without having this one six-foot connection made. We hear constant complaints from our officers that their radios don’t work.

‘We are not entirely sure why... but here we sit with $200,000 worth of equipment that we can’t connect to our county dispatching system.’ Nate Ehalt Burnett County Administrator

Move the equipment?

“I don’t know what the answer is,” Wilhelm said. “Do we need to start looking at other communications options out in that part of the county? “If this six-foot easement is never going to be granted, we’ve got $200,000 worth of equipment sitting at that tower that simply is not going to be utilized. “It is affecting that whole area including the Native community. “It affects all of us,” Wilhelm concluded. “I don’t have an answer for this.”

MADISON (AP) — A federal judge has ordered a Wisconsin creamery to stop sales of its Irish butter in the state while the creamery is being sued for trademark infringement. Eastern District of Wisconsin Judge J.P. Stadtmueller at a Thursday hearing barred Sheboygan-based Old World Creamery from selling its imported Irish butter under the name Irishgold, which went on sale in early April. Ornua, the company that owns trademarks of Kerrygold Irish butter, sued the creamery and related companies alleging that Irishgold's similar name and packaging are an attempt to profit from Kerrygold's strong brand reputation. Stadtmueller at the hearing called the dispute a “textbook case” of why research is important to avoid trademark issues but says his temporary order doesn't indicate how the court might rule on the case.

Pirates beat Bombers, Saints BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

G R A N T S B U RG /S T. CROIX FALLS—The Grantsburg Pirates won two games over the last few days, defeating the Braham Bombers 5-4 at home and the St. Croix Falls Saints 12-1 at St. Croix. “It was a very fun game,” said Coach Pete Johnson of the Braham contest. “It was tight through six innings, then a couple of mistakes allowed Braham to score three runs in the top of the seventh. “The best thing was our young team being able to come out in the bottom of the last inning with ‘batsa-blazin.” The Pirates scored single runs in the first and third innings. Bryce Roufs singled and came home on a Sven Johnson triple. In the third, Luke Anderson got on via a fielders choice, stole second, and came home on a double by Roufs. The three runs in the seventh came as a re-

sult of singles by Tanner Berger and Austin Wedin. Luke Anderson got on via an error. Roufs singled two runs home and then Sven Johnson singled the winning run across the plate. “Bryce and Sven continued to show up with a bat in their hands. They combined for five of our 10 hits.”

Ramsey Clark pitched 3.2 innings, allowing a run, walked four and struck out four. Austin Casey finished up, giving up four runs, walking two and striking out three. PIRATES UPEND SAINTS “I’m pleased with our at-bats tonight,” complimented Coach Johnson. “We played pretty clean,

but there are a few things we need to work on.” The Pirates scored two runs in the first inning and three in the second to take a 5-0 advantage. Austin Wedin singled, Luke Anderson sacrificed him to second and then Wedin scored on Bryce Roufs double. Roufs scored on Austin Casey’s double. SEE PIRATES ON PAGE 20

BALDWIN-WOODVILLE—The Western Wisconsin Invitational Golf Tournament was held April 7-8 at Baldwin. Among 22 schools, the Pirates came in 15th. “The team in general exceeded my expectations,” said Coach John Addison. “It was a nice way to start out the year. Jared Lee and Joey Duncan both took big steps forward in their ability to play golf. I believe Joey Duncan shot the sixth best score the second day. Jared Lee finished 12th overall. Lane Johnson, Justin Patterson and Paul MacKean all stayed patient enough to post decent scores for the team. It can be tough to stay in your own game when you are playing against Division 1 and 2 schools. I think the team performed very well.” River Falls, Chippewa Falls, Hudson, Rice Lake and Somerset were the top five schools. New Richmond and Spring Valley were next with Amery and Tomah tieing for eighth. Durand, Bloomer, Baldwin-Woodville, St. Croix Central and Cadott finished the list prior to the Grantsburg team. The two-day totals show Jared Lee with a 169, Joey Duncan 174, Paul Mackean 237, Lane Johnson 226 and Justin Patterson at 219. After playing in Grantsburg on Tuesday and Barron on Wednesday, the Pirates go to Webster on Thursday, and Unity next Tuesday.

Eagles clip the Storm BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—The Unity Eagles scored 10 runs in the third inning en route to a 16-1 win over the Webster/Siren Storm last Thursday. The game was close until the Eagle third with Unity holding just a 3-0 edge, but 16 Unity players came to the plate in the tell-tale third. Singles, walks and a Storm error accounted for the rush of runs. The Storm’s only run came in the top of the fourth. Maddie Nichols singled, moved up on the ground outs, and scored on Liz Carroll’s single. “The first couple of innings we were great,” complimented Coach Tina Karsten.

“We played with them. “Then, the errors we made really hurt us. We have to learn not to commit them. “We have a number of girls on the field who have never played a high school game before, so we have a very young team. It is something to look forward to. “We have a freshman pitcher and with that will come experience. “We learned a couple of things last week and we made a couple of adjustments this week in practice. “It’s a work in progress, but we’ll get there.” After hosting Frederic/Luck on Tuesday, the Storm will host Grantsburg on Thursday and will travel to Turtle Lake/Clayton next Tuesday.

Lady Pirates fall to Spartans, win at SCF BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG/ST. CROIX FALLS— The Grantsburg Pirates got some home cooking last Thursday, even if it was a short distance away from home. Traveling to St. Croix Falls, the Pirates defeated the Saints 16-1. The home-cooked meal came after a very lean meal at home against the Superior Spartans on Tuesday, losing 9-0. “Last year, Superior’s pitcher was the best that we had seen,” said assistant Coach Steve Johnson. “She was even better than Laconia’s pitcher. We have now played against this pitcher for four years. She is good. Last year, we had only two hits. This year, we had three. Jenna McNally had a hit in the bottom of the third inning. Jordyn McKenzie and Mackenna Johnson started out the fourth inning with singles. The Pirates walked just twice, but struck out an unusual 15 times. “It is kind of hard to say we have improved when we gave up nine runs,” related Coach Johnson, “but there were glimmers of goodness. Rylee (Hoffman) got the start and pitched almost five innings, giving up six runs with five being earned. She did not walk anybody. “Cassidy Lee and Cassidy Chenal also

pitched some and Grantsburg did not walk a person all night. Our defense started to make plays, too,” concluded the coach. PIRATES DE-HALO THE SAINTS “We made it through the tough part of our schedule,” shared assistant Coach Steve Johnson, “and we are playing more teams that are just like us.” The Saints scored their only run in the third inning. Karkow received a base on balls and moved up on a wild pitch. She scored two batters later on a single by Kopp. Grantsburg, on the other hand, went to work in the second inning. Rachel Glover doubled and came home on a Claire Palmquist single. Five runs came home for the Pirates in the third inning. Britta Roufs led off the third with a home run, followed by a homer by Mackenna Johnson. Jordyn McKenzie and Maddie Duncan both doubled. Glover singled. Two batters later, Emma Quimby delivered a single to drive in the last run of the inning. Inning four went quietly for Grantsburg, but the next proved productive as four additional runs scored. Two singles, two doubles and two Saints errors got the job done. Inning six was even more helpful as

six runs came home. Two doubles, three singles and three errors highlighted that inning. “We still have a long way to go, but improvements are being seen,” praised Coach Johnson. Turtle Lake/Clayton will have a pitcher with speed and, so far, we have not done well with speed. We don’t anticipate a rise ball like we saw from Superior, but Osceola and TL/C will present a huge challenge next Monday and Tuesday.”

GAME DAY

Pirates top Chieftains BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

OSCEOLA—In a non-conference match up, the Grantsburg Pirates softball team defeated the Osceola Chieftains 10-8 on Monday night. “Our hitting, throwing and catching were very good, but our base running…” lamented assistant Coach Steve Johnson. “Somehow,

we did manage 10 runs which was good enough to squeak by. When all the dust settled, it was an exciting, wonderful performance by the Pirates. I think we all were pleased and progress was made. We made some great plays and overcame our ... not-great plays.” Osceola scored five runs in the bottom of the first. The Pirates came back with one in the top of

the second. Emma Quimby, Maddie Duncan and Cassidy Lee all singled, thus Quimby scored. In the third, the Pirates picked up five to go up 6-5. Jenna McNally, Britta Roufs and Mackenna Johnson all singled. Jordyn McKenzie walked. Rachel Glover singled. Two batters later, Lee again singled. SEE LADY PIRATES ON PAGE 20

Pirates boys, girls second at Siren Invite BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—At the Siren Invitational Track Meet last Thursday, the Grantsburg Pirates took second place in both the boys and girls events. The Siren boys placed sixth while the Siren girls took third. “The meet was a good one for us,” said Grantsburg Coach Brad Nelson. “The boys and girls both finished second. There was some good competition, but we are still seeing areas where we can improve. We are still moving athletes around to find their strengths. We had several first- and second-place finishes, so we are happy with that, but this point of the season is all about tweaking and adjusting. We had 25 athletes set new personal records, so we are seeing improvements all around.” First place finishes for the Grantsburg boys were Kyle Fagnan, 100 meter dash; David MacKean, 1600 meter run; 4x100 meter relay (Volkmann, McKinley, Chenal and Fagnan), 4x200 meter relay (Peltier, Stevens, Volkmann, Fagnan), and the 4x800 meter relay (Ohnstad, MacKean, Hermann, McKinley). Tanner Lee of Siren placed first in the discus. For the girls, Hallie Jensen was first in the 3200 meter run with the 4x400 team (Gerber, Brande, Bertelsen, Blume) also first. The 4x800 relay (Jensen, Oachs, Ohnstad, O’Brien) was first. Siren’s Abby Kosloski (high jump) and Julie Cederberg (discus) had first-place finishes. After being at Unity on Tuesday, Grantsburg goes to Frederic on Thursday and Shell Lake next Tuesday. Siren and Webster will have been at Clear Lake on

Britta Roufs ended the game three for five with five RBIs. Mackenna Johnson was three for four with a homerun. Jordyn McKenzie was two for four. Rachel Glover was three for four. Cassidy Lee doubled her last time up and struck out the last three batters. Claire Palmquist had three hits and four RBIs. “Next week is a big week. Expect a few changes in the lineup as the pieces fall into place. It will be fun to see which players step up,” concluded Coach Johnson.

DRUMMOND/BALSAM LAKE— The Siren Dragons won their second game of the season, defeating the Drummond Lumberjacks 7-5 last Tuesday, but fell to the Unity Eagles on Thursday 8-2. Against Drummond, Siren put one on the board in the second, ex-

ploded for five in the fourth and added an insurance run in the fifth. Drummond put up three in the third and two in the fifth. Innings six and seven were silent for both squads. Brady Mangen went three for three with an RBI and a stolen base. Ben Lemieux was one for four, but contributed two RBIs, a double and two stolen bases.

Jordan Webster hit two for four. Bailey Mangen was on the mound for the Dragons, going two innings. He allowed one hit, one run, walked three and struck out one. Webster relieved him, pitched 2.1 innings, gave up four runs, five hits, walked two and struck out four. Ben Lemieux finished up with no runs, two hits, two walks and two strike outs. EAGLES WIN OVER DRAGONS “We’ve got two wins,” said Dragon coach Jon Ruud. “We’re better. We’re not last year’s team. We can make plays.” He continued, “We were in this ball game. We’ve got to get to the point where we’re ticked off, we can’t let them off the hook.” The Dragons trailed 4-2 after five innings of play. “We did some positive things … we stole some bases, hit the ball around and made some plays. “The reason we’ve won two games is we play catch better than last year. We’ve got some young kids doing well and we’ve got to keep getting better.”

TIGERS BLANK LUCK/FREDERIC Hunter Gustafson provided all the points needed when he hit a two run homer in the sixth inning for the Tigers. Up to that point, it was basically a pitchers duel as no runs were scored up to that point. Jordy Larson started for Webster and went six innings, allowing only two hits, walking six and striking out six. Gage Johansen went four innings for Luck/Frederic, giving up three hits, walking four. Hunter hit his home run just after Jack Washburn had singled in the sixth with one out. Washburn pitched the seventh inning, earning the save. After hosting St. Croix Falls on Tuesday, the Tigers host Shell Lake on Thursday and Drummond on Friday. They travel to Unity on Monday.

Two singles, two walks and a sacrifice put three runs across in the fourth. In the fifth, four singles, two walks and a double added to the Pirate lead and to win the game. “Ricky and Bryce totaled half of our team’s 14 hits,” commented the coach.

Black Hawks edge Pirates BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALDWIN—The Baldwin-Woodville Black Hawks scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to come from behind and beat the Grantsburg Pirates 6-5 on Monday night. “Jacob Barnard pitched a heck of a game,” said head coach Pete Johnson. “When you have seven new varsity players, you’re susceptible to making some mistakes. Tonight four or five small mistakes cost us the ballgame. We are learning, though, and I see a lot of good things happening.”

Each team scored one in the first inning. The Pirates got their run when Luke Anderson singled, moved up on a fielder’s choice, and came in on a single by Austin Casey. The Pirates added a second run in the second when David Nelson walked, moved up on a fielder’s choice and scored on a single by Ramsey Clark. They put another run in the third when Anderson singled, moved up on two wild pitches and scored on a sacrifice fly by Austin Casey. The Hawks added three in the second and led 4-3 going into the

seventh. Grantsburg, with one out, saw Bryce Roufs double, Sven Johnson walk, and Austin Casey get on by a fielder’s choice. Jacob Barnard singled with David Nelson getting hit by a pitch. Thus two runs across to take the lead at 5-4. A hit batsman, a walk, another hit batsman and an error enabled two runs to come in and win the game for the Black Hawks. “I’m happy that we were able to come from behind and take a seventh inning lead,” concluded the coach.

The Pirates added two in the fifth. Quimby walked. Duncan singled. Claire Palmquist sacrificed and an Osceola error added to the total. Grantsburg put single runs up in the sixth and seventh innings to keep the Chieftains at bay as the Osceola team added two in their sixth inning. “Grantsburg had some outstanding performances,” praised Coach Johnson. Rylee (Hoffman) picked up the win and also added two hits. Emma (Quimby) is a first-year with great talent. She picked up two hits and walks while scoring three runs. Her base running is advanced and aggressive. Her cousin, Brooke (Quimby), another frosh, started at shortstop. She made plays on seven runners without an error. On one play, she showed off speed as she ran one down in the 5 hole. Maddie (Duncan) had a great night with two hits. Britta (Roufs) and Rylee (Hoffman) also had two hits each. The Pirates, after hosting Turtle Lake/Clayton on Tuesday, go to Webster/Siren on Thursday, to Glenwood City on Friday, and host Frederic/Luck on Monday.

Allen C. Benson, 68, of Siren, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 11, 2017 surrounded by family. A funeral mass was held Tuesday, April 18 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Grantsburg with Father Joseph Madanu officiating. Music was provided by Erin Spohn, Alaina and Olivia Oachs, Tara Shoquist and Rebekah and Jeremiah Stavne. Allen was laid to rest at St. Dominic’s Catholic Cemetery in Frederic. Pallbearers were Ryan Taylor, Dustin Taylor, Paul Scheierl, Scott Doornink, Chad Doornink and Kari Green. Honorary Pallbearers were Bruce Potter, Larry Potter, Darryl Doornink and Normand Audet. Allen was born to Arnold and Gladys (Brethorst) Benson on April 28, 1948 in Siren. He grew up on the family farm and graduated from Frederic High School in 1966. His love of farming with his Grandpa and Grandma Benson and Aunt Bernice planted a seed to purchase the farm, making it a third-generation homestead. Allen was an EMT for 12 years, a patrolman for West Sweden Township, Trade Lake Township. He also worked for the Burnett County Highway Department, retiring in 2011. In 1991 he met and fell head over heels in love with the beautiful brunette woman from the bank, Barb Meyer. They married on July 14, 1992, and with this union, he was blessed with the bonus of two daughters, Kim and Kerri. Allen was relieved when Chad and Jeff joined the family. The birth of five beautiful granddaughters made his family complete. These girls became his favorite people. He started playing guitar in high school and eventually joined a band that played locally. His love of playing guitar and harmonica lasted his entire life. He shared his love of music and guitar playing with his oldest granddaughters. He also enjoyed fishing, woodworking, playing Xbox, camping, campfires, watching the Minnesota Twins and Green Bay Packers, along with motorcycling with his wife and friends. Allen would spend many hours watching his granddaughters’ sporting events and going to their concerts. He loved playing bingo, card games and Carrom with his granddaughters, family and friends. One of the things on Allen’s bucket list was to spend a winter in Arizona. In 2012 he was able to check that off his list. He spent the winter motorcycling, sitting by a campfire with other retirees. While in Arizona, he created the character, “Mean Mr. Cactus,” whom he would draw pictures of and send to his granddaughters. Allen will be remembered for his great sense of humor, his contagious laughter, his work ethic and his love for his family and friends. Allen is survived by his loving wife of 24 years, Barb (Meyer) Benson of Siren; daughters, Kim (Jeff) Korhonen of New Richmond, and Kerri (Chad) Oachs of Grantsburg; granddaughters, Alaina, Olivia and Sophia Oachs and Kenley and Khloe Korhonen; sisters, Trudy McClintock of Lino Lakes, Minn. and Jane (Terry) Taylor of Frederic; step mother-in-law, Bev Meyer of Frederic; brothers-in-law, Bob (Jeanne) Meyer of Grantsburg, Duane (Beth) Meyer of Hayward, Gary (Collete) Meyer of Elk River, Minn, Rodney (Patty) Meyer of Grantsburg, Harley (Patty) Meyer of Grantsburg, Jim (Donna) Meyer of Grantsburg, David Meyer of Grantsburg, and Mike (Sheila) Meyer of Grantsburg; nephews, Ryan (Michelle) Taylor of Frederic, and Dustin Taylor of Frederic; niece, Sally (Paul) Scheierl of Circle Pines, Minn.; and many nieces, nephews, family and friends.

NEWSLINE No state tax on Olympic winnings under proposal MADISON (AP) — Olympic medal winners in Wisconsin wouldn't have to pay taxes on their winnings under a Republican proposal. Rep. Joe Sanfelippo and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said in a news release Monday they're circulating a bill that would repeal state taxes on Olympic and Paralympic winnings. Olympic medals are worth a few hundred dollars

and come with cash prizes ranging from $10,000 for bronze to $25,000 for gold. Under the bill, neither the medals nor the cash winnings would be taxed. If passed, the legislation would retroactively apply to 2016 and would be in place for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. Republican Gov. Scott Walker's budget includes a similar measure. But under his proposal, athletes who make more than $1 million a year would still owe taxes on winnings.

A favorite of the season

Pastor Marilyn CrossďŹ eld Laketown Lutheran Church

One of my favorite scripture passages of the Easter season is the one from John 20:118. It is where Mary Magdalene has gone to the tomb and the stone has been rolled away. Mary sits outside the tomb, weeping, because she does not know where Jesus was taken. As she is sitting there, someone asks her who she is looking for and Mary mistakes the person for the gardener. But, as soon as He says her name, she sees that it is Jesus, alive, who stands by her and calls her

by name. I attended camp many moons ago, and I remember the feeling I got whenever I would see a camp counselor outside of camp and they would remember my name. That made such an impression on me that I made sure, as a counselor myself to remember the campers names so that I could call them by name. When someone calls us by name, we feel known, remembered and valued. And, it is when Jesus calls Mary by name, she is able to come from her grief and see that

Jesus is the One calling her by name, to see that all the things Jesus had said would happen are happening. Jesus conquered death and the grave to meet us where we are and call us by name. This Easter season, may you know the love God has for you, a love that meets you where you are and calls you by name. Whether you have been a faithful servant or you are wondering and questioning, Jesus is there calling your name, waiting for you to recognize that He is with you.

Grantsburg band director in the Middle East BY SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG— We are always looking for an escape. The movies, a book, a long walk down the Gandy Dancer Trail, or we go out with our friends, people we know and are comfortable around. But, how often is it that one finds entertainment by taking an interest in neighbors—the people we know of or the ones that we don’t know all too well yet. We begin our series, “What’s my neighbor up to?” with Edwin Boneske, the Grantsburg Middle and High School band director. Boneske has been the band director at Grantsburg for five years, but it has only been months since his visit to the Middle East and his first day as a volunteer for The Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Minnesota. During the summer of 2016, Boneske traveled to United Arab Emirates and, more specifically, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. He was there to visit a college friend who moved to the middle eastern country five years previous after marrying a Lebanese man. The trip was a 12-day voyage during which he encountered a plethora of perspectives; an eye-opening experience, to say the least. “When you travel to the Middle East, you realize how much we don’t know about the world,” he said. What he found most interesting was that the city was similar to Singapore or New York in that it was a melting pot of culture, but within only a few hundred miles were war-torn parts of the world: something that most North Americans may have a

Edwin Boneske of Grantsburg volunteers for The Council of American-Islamic Relations difficult time visualizing. “So much of what we assume is religious based in the Middle East is actually cultural based,” he added while referring to the traditional dress of the natives. “Sometimes we think— oh, that person is Muslim because of the way they dress. No, it’s just because they are from UAE. Christians there wear long robes, too.” The Grantsburg band director even

encountered Arabs dressed in traditional robes while sporting John Deere hats, or even North American baseball caps. “That’s cool there. It’s interesting to see how much of our culture has made its way down there. We think we are worlds apart, but I had conversations with people on the streets about Lebron James.” During his trip, Boneske was pleased

to encounter a wide range of individuals like himself, from all over the world. “Any nationality you can imagine is represented in the UAE. It’s a big combination.” He described a trip down to the community pool as being like the Tower of Babel as he met Americans, Middle Easterners, French, Russian and other nationalities. “It was almost its own global village within one city which, in big U.S. cities, you are not encountering all the time,” he said.

Most recently, he managed the stage for a discussion. Its focal point was challenging Islamaphobia in the U.S. “Hate crimes in the area is what pushed me to do this,” he added. “I saw something that was happening that I didn’t think was right.
