Grantsburg moves on nuisance bears STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG —“We have a people problem, not a bear problem,” said a stern and frustrated Village President Glenn Rolloff at Monday’s Grantsburg Village Board meeting. Rolloff said residents who leave cat and
dog food feeding dishes outside, who refuse to take down bird feeders during the spring months, who put out shelled corn to feed squirrels and deer (“and those cute bear cubs”), or who set their garbage cans out the night before the morning pickup, are intentionally or unintentionally inviting bears into the village.
SIREN—More than 100 county residents heard Wednesday at a “Meth Town Hall Meeting” at Siren School that arrests for methamphetamine (meth) are up significantly in Burnett County. The cost in tax dollars and work hours needed to investigate, arrest, prosecute, incarcerate and treat meth users is putting a heavy toll on the county’s budget. In 2015, the Burnett County Sheriff Department, St. Croix Tribal Police and village police departments were involved in arresting 82 people for meth use, possession or sale in Burnett County, an SEE METH, PAGE 9
“There are people who, from an educational standpoint, may not even realize they are feeding the bears. If you bring your garbage tub out on Tuesday evening and it’s full of waste products and food scraps that are attractive to bears, you are SEE BEAR, PAGE 6
Four Cubs Farm relies on host of experts BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—Siren Ag Association’s 2016 Dairy Breakfast and Farm Tour will begin at 6 a.m. Saturday, June 18, at the Four Cubs Farm at 23250 Williams Road, one mile south of State Road 70 and four miles southeast of Grantsburg.

eration to operate Four Cubs farm since it was homesteaded by Ben’s great-great grandmother in 1873. Ben is son of Gary and Cris Peterson, who have been dairying together at Four Cubs Farm since 1973. Gary farmed by himself here for eight years before that. Four Cubs Farm has been in Gary’s family since 1877. The existing barn and house were built in 1895 by his great-grandfa-
ther, B.J. Peterson, with lumber cut from the surrounding land. Over the years, the barn and the house have been added to and changed.

Siren board dealing with geese at Crooked Lake Park BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
The Siren Village Board agreed Thursday to purchase more goose repellent in spray form to apply to the beach and lawns at Crooked Lake Park. For several summers, Canada geese droppings have plagued the park’s beach and grounds. Trustee Janet Hunter recalled a recent year when Burnett County Health Department closed the park’s swimming beach because excessive droppings posed a health hazard to swimmers. Crooked Lake homeowner and Siren Board Trustee Rick Engstrom said Crooked Lake has at least six nesting pairs of Canada geese this spring, many with goslings. One pair has a dozen goslings, he said. “When they hatch on Crooked Lake, they are likely to return,” he added. Janet Hunter recalled one recent summer when the village contracted with the DNR to do a humane “goose roundup,” but the geese didn’t come that year, saving the village the $5,000 roundup fee. Several times per week since midMay, Crooked Lake Park Caretakers Pat Busch and Richard Groves have been raking goose droppings from the beach, playground and lawns to keep the problem under control, even though raking isn’t part of their job description. “We’re fortunate to have caretakers who care so much about our park,” Hunter said. They have served the park since 2008.
After the caretakers reported the problem to Siren Village Clerk Ann Thompson in May, Thompson went on the internet to see how other Wisconsin cities handle problem geese. She learned Bay City, WI had successfully removed geese from a park by applying a liquid goose repellent that is sprayed on the beach sand and grass. The spray is a non-toxic, organic chemical that costs about $30 per quart or $90 per gallon. It is mixed with water and applied monthly during the summer. It is sold under several brand names including “Goose Stopper,” “Flockbuster Eco-Safe” and “Bird-X.” Shortly after Memorial Day, the Siren village and parks crew obtained enough goose repellent to spray the problem areas, including playground, beach sand and adjacent lawns. Hunter said the caretakers reported the birds then moved from the sprayed areas to other parts of the park. The board agreed Monday to purchase enough repellent to cover the all the park grounds and, if it works well, to apply it again in July and August if necessary. In a related matter, the board voted to increase the monthly salary for the Crooked Lake Park hosts to $300 per month, up from $250. Hunter said she has heard “far more kudos than complaints” about the caretakers. “Some people who rented the pavilion this spring commented on how clean it was, with tables wiped down and floor swept. The caretakers keep an eye on the gar-

I’ve heard no complaints this year.” In other actions, the board: • Approved licenses for the next year for Class A and B beer and liquor sales, cigarette sales and operator licenses. • Held a public hearing on vacating part of an alleyway in South Addition, Block 1, Lots 3 & 4. Village Clerk Ann Peterson and board members explained to owners of a nearby home that the former alley had been sold to another homeowner when the matter was first addressed in 1981. Paperwork regarding the original sale was incomplete and was recently updated. A resolution favoring the original sale passed via the required roll call vote.
• Heard Trustee Marvin Halverson’s report of efforts by friends and family of Janna Cobb to start a memorial fund that will provide students scholarships for the arts, and information and speakers on suicide prevention. • Several Siren board members commented on the appreciative comments they receive from Siren residents and visitors about the beautiful hanging flower baskets along Main Street and at Crooked Lake Park. Village President Dave Alden said many business owners water the hanging baskets near their stores, and Alden waters the others nearly every day. The board authorized Public Works Director Jim Jaskolka to spend up to $300 on a “watering wand” and water tank system to reach the hanging plants.
Potential for deer crashes forecast to be high in June MADISON—With their size, swiftness and unpredictability, deer are huge hazards for motorists. In June, they likely will be even more prevalent on Wisconsin roads. Deer activity increases this time of year as does their search for places to give birth and young deer separate from their mothers. With this increased activity, drivers may encounter more deer darting into the paths of their vehicles without warning. Although motor vehicle collisions with deer peak in the fall months, June is one of the worst months for driver and passenger injuries due to deer crashes. In each of the last five years, June ranked as the worst or second worst month for motorists’ injuries from deer crashes, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). “The best way to avoid crashes with deer is to slow down, put down your cell phone and eliminate all distractions while you drive. You also need to buckle up in case a crash can’t be avoided,” says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “Motorcyclists must be especially careful because collisions with deer can be fatal to motorcycle operators and passengers.” Law enforcement agencies reported 19,961 deer vs. motor vehicle crashes last year. Deer are the third most commonly struck object in Wisconsin traffic crashes (behind crashes with another vehicle or a fixed object). WisDOT offers the following advice to avoid deer crashes:
• Be vigilant in early morning and evening hours, the most active time for deer. • Eliminate distractions while driving and slow down. • Always wear your safety belt—there are fewer and less severe injuries in crashes when safety belts are worn. • If you see a deer by the side of the road, slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away. • When you see one deer, look for another one—deer seldom run alone. If you find a deer looming in your headlights, don’t expect the deer to move away — headlights can confuse a deer and cause the animal to freeze. Instead, brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path. Do not swerve. It can confuse the deer as to where to run —it can also cause you to lose control and hit a tree or another car. The one exception is if you are riding a motorcycle. In this case, you should slow down, brake firmly and then swerve if you need to in order to avoid hitting the deer. When swerving on a motorcycle, always try to stay within the lane if at all possible to avoid hitting other objects. If your vehicle strikes a deer, stay in your vehicle and do not touch the animal if it is still alive as the injured deer, while attempting to move, could hurt you or itself. The best advice is to get your car off the road, if possible, and then call law enforcement.

Remembering Dad Sunday is Father’s Day. A poignant time for me this year as I just buried my Dad last week. My sister-in-law described him as “legendary,” during his funeral last week and were you to look at the accomplishments he achieved in his life, you’d probably agree. My Dad, Manny Beckmann, was an All-State quarterback in football, 3rd team All-American quarterback and earned 12 letters in football, basketball, track, and baseball while at Wells (Minn.) High School. His sporting exploits didn’t Seems to end at graduation. Me He attended Mankato State University where he was the Todd Beckmann only athlete to earn 11 collegiate letters in football, basketball, and track, earned the MVP-Quarterback award and held the title for most passing and rushing yards at MSU for 15 years. The accolades followed him into his teaching/ coaching career. My Dad spent his entire career teaching history and social studies at Waseca High School. He was head basketball coach for 38 years and head track coach for 35 years. He was an extremely successful coach, winning Minnesota Coach of the Year honors in 1975. So successful in fact, that Dad was inducted into several Halls of Fame, including Mankato State University in 1981; the Minnesota State High School League in 1991; the Minnesota Basketball Association in 1992; the Waseca High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in 2010. Dad was also awarded WCCO Radio’s Prep Parade Coach of the Year in 1975 and perhaps the most telling of all was April 25, 1991 when it was Manny Beckmann Day as proclaimed by the governor’s office. So “legendary” probably paints a realistic picture but, to me, he was just “Dad.” Both of my brothers were fortunate enough to play basketball for my Dad — my older brother Scott got to play in that memorable year of 1975. The Bluejays made it to the state tournament that year — I believe Dad coached Gene Glynn, Minnesota’s first-ever Mr. Basketball that same year. My younger brother Ed and both my nephews, Tim and Andrew, played ball for the old man. What about Todd? You’ve heard the saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree?” Well, in my case, this proverbial apple was plucked from the tree, driven about 10 miles away, and dropped — anyone who has watched me attempt to play basketball can attest to that. Even though we didn’t share any hoop history, he was my Dad. One of my favorite memories is when I was about 16 and the two of us were going pheasant hunting together. Those who know me will object, saying “But Todd, you don’t hunt.” But therein lies the beauty of the memory — despite not liking to hunt, Dad wanted to spend time with me so he took me hunting. We go to one of his favorite pheasant haunts — him, me and the dog.
The great squirrel wars Sunday is Father’s Day, a time to give appreciation to Dad, Father, Pops — whatever term you use to describe the paterfamilias, the male head of the household. I have written numerous accounts, some slightly exaggerated, about my late father, Arved Stangl (aka “The Chief”). For Father’s Day, I’d like to share one of the epic tales in our family folklore. The Chief was a no-nonsense fellow, a hard working man who realFrom the ly valued his spare Publisher’s time. He worked long days as a Desk mechanic in the Tom Stangl Chevy garage in our hometown in Iowa and had six children with my mother. We lived in an older home that had two bedrooms upstairs and an improvised bedroom downstairs. It was a bit crowded, but we made it work. Our house was about six feet lower than the rest of the homes on our street, and we had to walk up three steps to get to the sidewalk. We had three black walnut trees on the property line with our neighbors. The trees provided shade for

our home, but were hated by the neighbors for the mess the walnuts created. And then, there were the squirrels. It is natural to assume that three walnut trees would attract squirrels. The squirrels would shuck the walnuts, crack the nuts and dispose of the waste by chucking it at our home. I kid you not. It was a constant thing, and it seemed that the chattering of the squirrels after they threw their garbage at our home was like laughter. This annoyed the Chief and he often cursed the squirrels. One of the trees had a branch that would provide access to our roof. We discovered that the squirrels had chewed their way into our attic. This meant war to the Chief, and he prepared to fight the invaders to the death. He was able to patch the hole with some tin, but we could still hear the scurrying of the squirrels above our heads at night. The attic was a place no one dared to go in our home, but the Chief, being a man of action, bravely went into the attic with some borrowed rat traps to kill the invaders in his home. It sounded like a good idea at the time. The squirrels didn’t go for the

traps, which greatly annoyed the Chief. Emulating his wartime commander “Dugout” Douglas MacArthur, the Chief deployed more traps and checked to make sure more squirrels could not gain access to the attic, using the rickety wood ladder that we used to change out the storm windows. The squirrels continued to scurry above, disrupting the Chief’s slumber. Eventually, the scurrying stopped. The Chief would often comment that he liked dealing with the public less than he liked the squirrels, adding “and I HATE the damn squirrels.” It was a good thing that he worked on cars and trucks. We never knew if they starved to death or got out. After my parents died, the house was torn down. I was told by the man who bought the property that they found some small animal skeletons in the attic. Yes, the Chief won the great squirrel wars, as they came to be known.

A couple of foxes I couldn’t help but chuckle when I read the Sheriff’s blotter. Two 61-year-old women from the Twin Cities region picked up for theft. The incidents were listed individually, but they’re neighbors, really, based on their respective ‘burbs’ of residence. I imagine their morning phone conversation: “Oh, Margaret, let’s go up north, do a little fishing, bird watching, shoplifting; have some lunch.” “Sounds wonderful, Jan.

Even though my mind seems just as it was at 30, I am nearing these laNewbie in dies’ age. Old used to be — well, old. the North- Suddenly, it seems, I’m it. There’s other evidence: Up at the crack of dawn, woods supper as early as 4:30 p.m., in bed by 9 p.m. Lori Callahan That’s why small children love their grandparents so much. Only ones in the family on the same schedule. Plus, we understand accidents. Is that where I’m headed? Just a hop behind a police escort? I thought the worst of getting old is only that everything hurts; I can’t hear, see, walk straight, remember anything or operate heavy machinery anymore. Maybe Alzheimer’s is in my future, or a little dementia. Now, I have to worry about the onset of thievery, too! I am discovering, as I creep into old-lady-ville, that one is afforded more patience and consideration. I’ve always done so, still do, just wasn’t formerly on the receiving end as well. Act old and eccentric — it works wonders in innumerable situations, sometimes for favor and others for simple entertainment and spreading a smile. Let’s face it, the elders get a pass on a lot of things. It’s not difficult to learn that we can “get away with” a little more. Five fingering a little jewelry, cologne, electronics? Who suspects Grandma? If there are any “Seinfeld” sitcom fans out there, I recall the episode where Jerry’s 60-some uncle shoplifts in Jerry’s presence while assuring him that “all retirees do it.” To Jerry’s dismay, his TV parents confirm it. I thought it was hilarious — and a joke. I may have to rethink this and watch for any latent impulses. Of course, my peri-senility mind could miss them. Crazy like a fox. Foxes Marge and Jan, apparently, weren’t fooling anyone. I’d rather be an owl.
DAD: The best of times CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
As we started out, he said I could help stir up birds by walking loudly through some of the shorn cornstalks. It worked and in about two hours, Dad had his limit — I think it was four birds. While packing up the gear for the ride home, he called for the dog and here he comes with a fifth pheasant dangling from its mouth. Apparently, the dog had run down the bird on his own. Not wanting to be in violation of his daily bag limit nor wanting to waste the catch, Dad stuffed the offending bird under the hood of the car next to the window-washer reservoir. He looks me straight in the eye and says if we get stopped by a warden — “act natural.” We never did get stopped but it made for a great memory. Be sure to remember your Dad this year.

Another hit coming for UW System students New fee hikes are the latest bad news for UW System Students, according to Senator Janet Bewley (D-Delta), a key supporter of the UW System and member of the Committee on Universities and Technical Colleges. “It is Governor Scott Walker and Legislative Republicans who slashed the UW System to the lowest level of support in its history and they are responsible for these fee hikes.” Bewley noted the challenges UW officials face in making up for the 2015-17 state budget cut of $250 million while maintaining quality at 26 campuses and other UW facilities.

More ways to ‘Do More’ - Non standard recycling BY JEN BARTON RECYCLING CONTROL COMMISSION
I have received some great feedback from a few people about the recent articles I submitted to the area papers. Thanks for those comments and I appreciate your openness regarding moving beyond traditional methods to reduce your environmental impacts. So, let’s move onto a few more items to think about in regards to re-use and reduce. Greeting Cards Even with the popularity of e-cards, people still send greeting cards to mark holidays, birthdays, illness and death — yeah, greeting cards run the gamut of emotions. What do you do with them after you’re done absorbing the sentiment, though? Tossing them into the recycling bin is good, but here’s your chance to do good, too. Volunteers at St. Jude’s Ranch for Children create new cards out of recycled ones. Proceeds support the group’s programs. You may think greeting cards are a little cheesy, but consider this: It’s charitable cheese. Makeup Ah, nice makeup job. Very natural looking, but with flair. BTW, what can you do with all your empty makeup containers? It turns out Aveda, Estee Lauder’s Origins, Kiehl’s and MAC recycle their own containers. Most even offer a reward after you return several. Protect the environment and get free makeup? Score!
you think they come from? They don’t grow on trees, you know. The MORE program accepts gently-used running shoes and sells them to vendors. Apparently, there’s a market for slightly sweaty sneakers. As disgusting as that sounds, MORE makes excellent use of the proceeds. The nonprofit helps poor, rural farming villages develop tree nurseries that will eventually yield usable and sellable products such as fruit, honey, lumber, hardwood and firewood. Running stores and local groups handle shoe collections, but check it out online if you are interested in this option. Strings of Lights Those itsy-bitsy twinkling strings of lights look beautiful lining porches or wrapped around trees. But, tragically, they seem to die young. Then you have to toss the mess into the garbage — or do you? No! Home Depot stores, as well certain local organizations (a certain church in Shell Lake, ahem!), gather them for recycling. Collections often run through late fall and winter. Add more cheer to the holidays by doing right by your lights. See how much you can do for Mother Earth? She’s done a lot for you, giving you a place to live, free grass and all the oxygen you can breathe. Time to give back. Non-standard recycling is a nice way to say thanks. Direct questions to Jen at jbarton@nwrpc. com, or 715-635-2197.

Light Bulbs Don’t toss out those compact fluorescent light bulbs. They contain icky mercury that can contribute to land and air pollution. This metallic element is also poisonous — remember the Mad Hatter? Mercury poisoning. RCC offers a number of sites around the Burnett and Washburn County region to recycle fluorescent bulbs. We also are able to recycle high intensity bulbs like sodium flood lights. LEDs are not classified as toxic and are disposed of in regular landfills. We will explore more about LEDs in another article, but for now, let’s keep it simple. Corks Do you have corks from wine bottles just sitting around? Go check — some people just toss them into a drawer. Corks seem substantial, but they’re not on the municipal recycling list. They pile up quickly, too, since that Pinot Noir is just so tasty! An organization — coincidentally named ReCork — recycles corks to reduce the use of petroleum-based products. How about cork instead of plastic in your new pair of shoes?

est for fewer road repairs,” Bewley said. “If Walker can put $233 million more into unaccountable private voucher schools, why are they pushing more costs for our state’s universities onto the backs of students and their families?” Bewley supports the UW request for an additional $400 per student in financial aid resources to help offset the damage from the last two state budgets. Bewley called on the Governor and members of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee to commit to the request, especially in light of new fee increases resulting from the cuts they imposed.

feeding a bear.” Rolloff and other board members agreed some people who find bears cute are purposefully feeding them. “They think it’s fun to see the bears, but it’s putting themselves, their neighbors and the bears in danger,” Rolloff said. Three northside moms attending the meeting said some bears brazenly ignore dogs and shouts. Sow bears with cubs especially intimidate families with children in their own yards. Some walk in front of cars because they have learned cars will yield to them, and have made regular paths through some yards. The board took three steps Monday to address the matter. First, it authorized the DNR and game wardens to set more bear traps on village-owned parcels on the village’s north side, where the bears are the biggest problem. The traps are basically a cage on a trailer. A trapped bear is usually moved 80-100 miles before release. Unfortunately, some bears have become “trap-savvy” and won’t enter. One sow bear trapped and transported last year 80 miles to Glidden, WI, made its way back to Grantsburg in less than a month. To bears born here, Grantsburg is their home, Wildlife Specialiast Steve Hoffman of Grantsburg told the board and audience. He said that sow, well known to residents because of her two ear tags, was killed by a DNR-contracted hunter this spring. Her cubs were trapped and taken to a rehabilitation program in Rhinelander. Secondly, the board began the process of creating an ordinance to levy a fine for putting out garbage or food that attracts bears. The ordinance and possible fine would apply to everyone, including homeowners, restaurants, the schools — anywhere a bear gets access to garbage or food. “We have had outside consultants look at our bear problem, and they told us we have people feeding bears,” Rolloff said. “Some people don’t realize it, and others do.” Rolloff said the board has attempted to notify residents about the bear feeding problem by posting information on the village web site, by putting a flyer in the water bill, and a notice in its newsletter and by putting stories in the newspaper. “I don’t know what else we can do to get the public’s attention, other than putting a fine into place.” Rolloff added we who live here may not see the food items attracting bears, but a consultant documented more than 30 potential bear food sites after a drive around the village. Several bears have become such regular neighborhood visitors that the homeowners can tell them apart, and insist it’s a more widespread problem than just 1-2 bears. It’s at least five bears, said the residents. As a third step, the board passed a resolution re-authorizing the DNR and game wardens to shoot a yearling and possibly some others that have become a nuisance or safety hazard to residents. The vote was 5-1, with Kleiss opposing.

SIREN—Burnett County’s All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) trails and designated ATV roadways are busier than ever, Burnett Sgt. Ryan Bybee and summer intern Officer Brock Holmes reported Thursday to the Burnett County Natural Resources Committee. Sgt. Bybee introduced Holmes, a UW-Stevens Point senior in Resource Management and Law Enforcement from Portage. Holmes started in late May and will work all summer as a deputy recreational officer on the county’s trails, with plans to return to Stevens Point in the fall to complete his degree. The officers will be riding the ATV trails and roads, and also using the department’s motorboat on the county’s lakes to assist vacationers and residents, and to enforce recreational laws as necessary. Bybee said some ATV riders have been surprised to see officers on the trails, because reports earlier in the year said funding and staffing for a trails/waterways officer were unavailable for 2016. Holmes will work the trails fulltime under Bybee’s supervision, while Bybee will split his time between recreation duties and regular patrolling. The county’s two patrol ATVs are equipped with emergency lights and a radar gun. In their two weeks of trail riding so far, Holmes and Bybee said the most common infractions are ATVs exceeding the 30mph trail speed limit

or the 20-mph roadway speed limit; unregistered in-state ATVs; and out-ofstate operators without an annual permit and day pass. “It has been so busy this year. I have never seen this many ATVs and Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs) on our trails. More and more people are coming to Burnett County every year for recreation,” Bybee said. “We were out patrolling all of opening weekend and again all last weekend,” Bybee added. “Some riders continue to treat our trails like a race track.” Underage drivers and inexperienced drivers of all ages continue to be a problem, too. But, most crashes this year have occurred to experienced riders traveling at low speed, he said, with riders underestimating the depth of puddles
and ruts. Another accident occurred when an ATV failed to negotiate a turn. That caused the machine to topple, ejecting the driver and passenger. The passenger was taken by ambulance to the hospital. About 90 minutes later, the ambulance was called again when two ATV riders racing at high speed on a road crashed into each other. Both drivers were ejected, but not seriously hurt. Another group of riders came upon the crash scene and called 911. Both racers were arrested and charged with drunk driving. Bybee said sometimes the ambulance is able to drive onto the trail to the accident. At one location, however, the ambulance driver refused to risk driving the ambulance on the trail, so First Re-
sponders drove a personal car down the trail to the accident scene and took the injured person out to the ambulance. Bybee explained when a trail accident occurs, law enforcement closes the trail at the closest intersections on either side of the accident to prevent more drivers from coming upon the accident scene. Bybee said Burnett County trails are well marked with speed limit signs and informational signs at intersections and also where the trails cross a road. Supervisor and Committee Member Gene Olson suggested adding trail cameras in areas where violations are most frequent. Bybee said Burnett County trail use is growing because the county’s trails are well designed, marked and maintained. “People always tell us, ‘We love your trails.’ They say compared to other states, our trails are marked with good signs and are well maintained.” Bybee said he is seeing more groups of 10-15 riders and they’re usually staying overnight in the county at hotels, resorts or campgrounds. He says some former day riders are buying cabins in Burnett County so they can ride the entire weekend, plus holidays and vacations. Committee members commented on the need for more camping facilities for ATV riders and commended the St. Croix Tribe for developing Eagles Nest camp for riders. “It just keeps growing,” Bybee concluded, “and that’s a good thing for our county.”

Handicap-accessible playground at Webster BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
At its June 8 meeting, the Webster Village Board approved installation of playground equipment on July 28-29 at the Webster Dog Park complex two miles north of the village along Hwy. 35. The playground site and equipment will be accessible to persons with physical challenges. Diversified Services Inc. (DSI) of Siren obtained the playground equipment via a grant. DSI employs about 75 adults with disabilities in jobs involving product assembly, packaging, shrink wrapping and warehouse. The dog park is situated atop the old Webster dump in Oakland Township, on land that was cleaned, capped and approved for park use. The village owns and operates the park and Webster Police officers provide patrol. The Webster Public Works crew will level the land and complete other playground site preparation. The dog park features several fenced areas so dogs can be exercised separately. It also has a walking path, a double-gated entry/exit to prevent dogs from escaping and a paved parking lot. Admission is free. Tax assessor to revalue Webster properties The board approved a contract for village tax assessment services for 2017 with Nordquist Appraisal of Hayward. Nordquist will perform a complete tax revaluation of all village properties in Webster. The assessor will re-list all taxable real estate, documenting condition, approximate age, size and overall quality of construction on all buildings. Interior inspections will be performed as permitted. Land will be inspected on-site and also by using the Burnett County GIS website. Property owners will be notified by mail of any changes in assessment at least 30 days prior to the first session of Board of Re-
view. The $19,800 assessor contract was split into three payments, with $2,000 due by the end of 2016; $10,800 due at the adjournment of 2017 Board of Review and $7,000 due before Jan. 31, 2018. Police union contract negotiated The Webster board settled 201516 contract negotiations with its union police officers. Full-time officer Bridget Getts will receive back pay for a raise to $19.23 per hour effective Jan. 1, 2015, and for a raise to $19.61 per hour effective Jan. 1, 2016. Police Chief Mike Spafford is not a union member, so his salary is negotiated separately. Centennial brochure The board got its first look at the colorful Webster Centennial brochure. Centennial festivities will start during Independence Day weekend, July 2-4, continue during Webster’s Central Burnett County Fair July 21-24 and culminate at Gandy Dancer Days Aug. 12-13. The official Centennial ceremony will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, at Larsen Family Public Library. State Senator Sheila Harsdorf will read the Governor’s Proclamation. The Centennial brochure will be distributed at area businesses and the library, and Boy Scouts will hand them out during the July 2 fireworks and July 4 parade. Sewer project near completion A rep from MSA Professional Services told the Webster board the sewer improvement project may wrap up this month. All three village lift stations have been updated with new pumps, controls and supporting equipment. They are now housed in concrete structures, replacing the old wooden houses. The project is being completed with $440,00 block grant funds.
New village office goal for Webster The board continues to work with Burnett County in hopes of obtaining a parcel of county land beside the Gandy Dancer Trail with hopes to someday build a new village office. Overcrowding in the present office has resulted in records and supplies stacked high. The village police department has moved to temporary quarters in the community center basement. The proposed site for the new office has some construction issues including possible soil contamination from petroleum or other chemicals used by the railroad. If soil test borings show contamination, some soil would need to be removed. The matter is on the meeting agenda each month as the board tries to keep moving it forward. Old school demolition Like the new village office goal, the old high school demolition project is on the board’s agenda most months. Grocer Wayne King has agreed to donate the property to the village in hopes of seeing a better use for the prime building site along Highway 35. The village board has applied for demolition grants, which would cover half the cost of demolition. St. Croix Regional Medical Center has expressed interest in building a medical clinic at the site. Phase 1 testing showed minimal contaminants. In August, the board expects to hear about the grant. If approved, demolition would start this fall or winter. Other actions in Webster The board got an estimate of $10,200 for seal coating some streets this summer. The board agreed to let the Fair organizers use the beer gardens during the July 2 fireworks. The board approved licenses for the coming year for pool tables and for sales of liquor, beer, wine, soda and cigarettes.

over the years. In 1998, as Ben was finishing college and making plans to return to the dairy, the Petersons decided to expand the operation from 45 cows housed in a 100-year-old tie-stall barn to 200 cows housed in a six-row, free-stall barn. They built a double-10 parabone parlor in the old barn, hired their first-ever employees and jumped in. Two years later, in 2000, they expanded to 400 cows milking. In 2003, another 100 cows were added and in 2007, a third barn was added along with 200 additional cows. In 2011 yet another barn was added so that today, Four Cubs Farm is the home for 900 cows, milking and dry. Another 600 young stock are housed at another farm about 10 miles south. The dairy employs 20 full-time workers plus three family members.
Around-the-clock operation The Petersons milk about 800 cows three times per day at 4 a.m., noon and 8 p.m. Each milking is a sixhour process. Each cow produces an average of 90 pounds and 10 gallons of milk daily. The fresh milk is pumped through a chiller that drops the milk temperature from 101 degrees to 38 degrees in one minute as it is pumped directly into the insulated tanker truck. A full tanker is shipped to Burnett Dairy every 16 hours, where it is tested for butterfat, protein, milk solids and purity. As each cow enters the milking area, a computer reads the radio frequency tag implanted on the cow’s ear. Each cow’s milk production data is automatically entered into the computer. Every morning, the computer generates a “10 percent down” list, showing which cows’ production dropped by 10 percent the previous day. Those cows get a checkup from the herdsmen or vet to make sure they’re okay. The Petersons and staff raise much of the feed for their milking herd by farming 1,300 acres of corn, 300 acres of soybeans and 250 acres of alfalfa hay. They rent nearly 1,200 acres of cropland. Most of the feed is stored in a silage pile, three bunker silos, three bins and a three-bay commodity shed. Baled hay trucked in from South Dakota or Nebraska rounds out the total mixed ration. An independent nutritionist visits every week and balances the rations for the dairy. Enough land has been rented to provide corn silage and haylage for all 900 cows. Cottonseed and concentrates are purchased on contract.
Host of experts Agricultural Engineer Dan Hedrington from Chippewa Falls is the site and nutrient management consultant. He and Ben designed the manure system with vision to eventually grow beyond 900 cows. The sand-ladened manure from each pen is scraped three times daily into a flush system, where the sand settles out and the manure solids are mechanically separated. In the fall and spring, the farm’s maintenance crew uses special equipment to pressure-inject the manure as fertilizer into the cropland. Independent Agronomist Jeff Frase works with Ben to perform the farm’s soil testing. The two plan the cropping, fertilizer recommendations, spraying and

Actively managing 900 cows
All Four Cubs Farm’s milk is transported to Burnett Dairy Cooperative three miles away and made into cheese. The farm uses consultants from the Coop to assist in milk and grain contracting. Excess grain produced on the farm can be stored at Burnett Dairy’s grain facility. Helping promote an understanding of agriculture is very important to Gary, Cris and Ben. Cris has written several children’s books on agriculture and speaks frequently to school groups and civic organizations across the country about the importance of food production. Cris extends a warm welcome to the Four Cubs Farm to everyone. “We invite other farmers, townspeople, city dwellers and anyone with an interest in learning about a dairy farm to come out and enjoy breakfast and take a tour,” she said.
Direct from farm to Burnett Dairy Seven lactation groups are housed in the existing 900-cow facility and fed a single ration daily. Dry cows are housed in an eighth pen of the freestall building. Pregnant heifers returning from the heifer facility are housed in a 54-stall, three-row building with outside feeding. In 2011, the old dairy barn was remodeled into a double 16-parallel parlor that milks 32 cows at a time. The barns and holding area are equipped with fans and sprinklers for summer heat abatement. Calves born at the dairy are housed in hutches. Twice daily they are fed pasteurized waste milk and a high protein grain starter. After weaning at 7-8 weeks of age, they are moved to the dairy’s heifer facility located 12 miles south of Grantsburg. The dairy rents the facility, which is managed by two dairy employees. The 600 heifers there are housed in group pens and eventually dry lots. They are bred at 14 months of age and returned to the dairy six weeks before calving at 23 months.
Herd management and breeding The dairy has been using Genex/CRI mating appraisal service since 1974. Herd manager Nathan Brandt does all the heat detection and artificial insemination at the main farm and at the heifer facility. Dr. John Rathje of Northern Veterinary Services conducts a weekly herd health visit, during which the dairy’s reproduction, bio-security, vaccination program, nutrition, ventilation and production are reviewed. Peterson said, “Dr. Rathje is a progressive vet who takes time to keep his clients informed on new products, techniques and practices. Our dairy herd records are kept on Dairy Comp 305.

Drug Court success The road to overcoming meth addiction is extremely difficult, and many never succeed, said Burnett
County District Court Judge Kenneth Kutz. But, Drug Court has proven to be a successful way back into society for some. Burnett County’s Drug Court has provided an alternative to prison for those who qualify, and take the program seriously. It’s not an easy path, requiring three phases of participation usually over a period of 12-14 months. But for many, it has worked. While a national average shows less than half of drug court participants actually make it through the program to sobriety and fighting the addiction, Burnett County has achieved a 71 percent graduation rate. And, compared to the $47,00 annual cost of incarcerating a prisoner, drug court costs less than half. Perhaps the most significant achievement of drug court, Judge Kutz says, is that about 70 percent of drug court participants did not commit a new crime within one year of graduating from the program. And, ten years later, half the participants had not committed a new crime. The program requires intensive case management, weekly or more frequent drug testing, rewards for good behavior and sanctions for violations. How can residents help drug court participants succeed? Kutz suggests considering hiring a drug court participant who is qualified to meet your staffing needs. He asks landlords to consider renting them a place to live. He asks professionals to consider volunteering some time or services to the drug court, and the entire public to help with day-to-day activities such as transportation, shopping, child care and to get involved with prevention programs. And, talk to your kids or grandkids regularly about the dangers of drugs. Betty, a drug court graduate, is working to turn her life around. She has paid her fines, attends AA and drug prevention programs weekly, helps with the Restorative Justice Program and AODA programs for youth drug use prevention. “Meth still whispers to me in the night. It plays tricks on me and tells me I need it when I am bored or having a bad day. It’s scariest when it calls to me when everything is going fine. “I am here to tell you that this drug is different from all others. I have worked painfully hard to get to where I am now, but I have made it to total sobriety today. I choose life over meth.” As she finished, the crowd rose and gave Betty a standing ovation.

Immediate addiction Aurora Community Counseling Clinic Manager Darren Cox explained why people start using meth, and why is it so addictive. It causes an immediate rush like nothing the person has ever experienced. Users say it produces an intense euphoria, a sense of power, heightens alertness and allows one to stay awake for long periods. Some are drawn to it when told it would help them “focus better” on school work or on the job. It lowers inhibitions, brings increased sexual activity and weight loss. But, the consequences of trying it are life-destroying in many ways, Cox said. A user’s attitude changes toward everything, including work, family and values. One quits to care about anything except getting more of the drug. Family and friends see changes in physical appearance, attitude, emotions and responsibilities. “Even my kids were no longer important,” one user said. “All that mattered was meth.” Cox said, “Methamphetamine is an equal-opportunity destroyer,” and affects people of every economic class. “Meth doesn’t care how much you make, doesn’t care where you live, doesn’t care what your reputation is, doesn’t care what your last name is. Meth has the potential to impact anyone, at any time, in any location.” He added, “Meth can take a high-functioning person and reduce them to a homeless, jobless, childless, injail felon in a matter of a few months.”

Serious effects on youth Burnett County Health and Human Services Director Katherine Peterson told the audience the effects on youth are especially troubling, whether they are the user, the child of a parent who uses meth, or a baby born to a mom on meth. Residential placements for substance abuse have increased 300 percent so far in 2016, compared to the same period one year ago. About 35 percent of open or ongoing youth cases her department sees involve meth. More than 215 Burnett County children are involved. Peterson showed a chart with skyrocketing numbers of Burnett County children referred to Child Protection Services (CPS) due to living in a home where meth was in use. The toxic substances in meth are especially damaging to children when they inhale them through smoke in the home, or ingest them from meth contaminants on their food, or by absorbing toxins into their body through skin. In five years, the number of county kids referred to CPS has almost quadrupled. It rose from 129 referrals in 2011 to 255 in 2012. In 2013, it rose again to 304 referrals, then 370 in 2014 and 462 in 2015. The effects on health, growth and learning are especially serious for infants whose mothers used meth while pregnant. Newborns undergo withdrawal, have sleep problems, fever, diarrhea, sweating, shaking, inability to absorb nutrients and slow weight gain.

Milberg to stand trial on homicide charges BY TOM STANGL PUBLISHER
ELLSWORTH—Kari Jo Milberg has been found competent to stand trial in the deaths of her daughter and two nieces that resulted from an automobile accident on Dec. 12, 2013. Judge Joseph Boles ruled Friday that Milberg is competent to stand trial after hearing testimony of two experts in hearings last Monday and Wednesday. Milberg pled not guilty in April 2015 to three charges of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle and one count of reckless driving causing injury. In his written decision, Boles outlined the two determinations necessary to determine competency in criminal proceedings. The first is the capacity to understand court proceedings, and the second is the ability to assist in her own defense. Dr. John Pankiewicz, the court appointed psychiatrist and Dr. Brian Stress, a psychologist hired by the defense, both testified that Milberg has the mental capacity to understand court proceedings. They differed on whether or not she could aid in her own defense. Milberg was ejected from the vehicle as a result of the accident, suffering a serious head injury. Both doctors agree that she has amnesia about the accident and the facts surrounding it, as well as the fact that Milberg has suffered cognitive deficiencies as a result of the head injury which are permanent. Pankiewicz concluded that even
Kari Jo Milberg
with the amnesia, Milberg does have the capacity “to assist her attorney in her defense and make a competent decision as to whether or not she should exercise her right to remain silent or her right to give testimony in her own defense.” Stress testified that Milberg’s current mental capacity prevents her from assisting in her own defense in a meaningful way. Stress also believes her amnesia prevents her from assisting in her own defense. Boles stated in his ruling that Dr. Pankiewicz, the court-ordered independent psychiatrist, was more credible than the defense-hired expert, Dr. Stress. Boles found Milberg competent to stand trial and stated that the court understands Milberg’s current mental condition. “The court
will give Ms. Milberg and Attorney Nelson additional time to discuss defense issues during the trial, if requested.” Boles also addressed Milberg’s amnesia and its impact on whether or not she will receive a fair trial. Defense attorney Aaron Nelson raised the issue of State vs. McIntosh, a case where a person had suffered head injuries in a car accident, rendering him amnesic. The accident resulted in a death and McIntosh was convicted of homicide by negligent use of a motor vehicle. The State relied on circumstantial evidence to make the case. Boles agreed with the Court of Appeals ruling that trying amnesia defendants must be reviewed on a case by case basis and from “the objective standpoint of whether, despite the amnesia, the defendant can receive a fair trial.” Boles ruled that an assessment of whether or not Milberg will be able to receive a fair trial will have to wait until the trial has ended. He cited Wilson vs. United States, which listed six factors to be weighed after a trail had been concluded, including the strength of the prosecution’s case. Boles stated that if Milberg is convicted, a motion may be made with regard to the issue of receiving a fair trail and that the court would use the Wilson process to make the determination whether or not she received a fair trial. A six-day jury trial is scheduled to begin June 24 in Ellsworth.

GRANTSBURG—If you enjoy visiting Farmers Markets, there’s one to choose from five days per week this summer in Burnett County. They range from the Siren Farmers Market from 1-3 p.m. Saturdays, now it its 14th year and with about a dozen vendors, to the brand-new farmers market at Burnett County Government Center, open from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays. The markets offer a variety of fresh-picked vegetables, garden and flower plants, fresh bakery goods, crafts, honey and maple syrup. Times, days and outdoor locations are: • Monday noon-2 p.m. at the Grantsburg Community Center. Now in its seventh year. • Wednesday 11:30 a.m-1:30 p.m. at Burnett County Government Center. • Thursday 3-5 p.m. at Burnett Dairy Cheese Store in Alpha. • Friday 2-4 p.m. at Burnett Medical Center (BMC) parking lot on State Rd 70 in Grantsburg. • Saturday 1-3 p.m. at Siren Senior Center parking lot, just south of the Siren trafic light by Tesoro Restaurant. Janet Byers has been a grower and farmers market vendor for 10 years. She sells at the Siren Farmers Market from 1-3 p.m. each Saturday. “We have quite a few vendors there each week, usually a dozen or more,” Byers said. “I am typically the first vendor to start in the spring because I have perennial plants ready to go home with customers, so they can get into the garden and flourish.” Farmers market vendors are required to grow or make the items they sell. “I grow all of my perennial plants at our farm south of Grantsburg,” Byers said. “I start them from seeds, cuttings or bulbs. All of my plants are extremely hardy because they are started outside and stay outside, not pampered. “I have a wide selection of plants for sun, shade or anything in between. I have low plants such as ground covers, medium size plants and plants that get up to five feet tall. I have a huge selection of Oriental lilies, Asiatic lilies and hybridized daylilies as well as many other varieties of perennials. I bring my plants to markets and I also sell from my garden center at my home on hwy 48/87 one-half mile south of Grantsburg. “We just started the market at the medical center late last summer,” she adds. “More vendors will start coming to the BMC market soon, as their products get ready. Not all vendors can attend every market, but we go to as many as we can,” Byers concluded.

Centennial sunfish art project WEBSTER—Summer school can be a drudge. But not for a group of Webster Middle School students who had fun starting on a special project on Monday. Under the direction of two Minneapolis-based theater artists, they’re building a school of sunfish to support the Webster Village Centennial celebration set for August 12-13. The sunfish is the centennial “brand” logo representing the “fish bowl” of Burnett County. The Centennial Sunfish Art project was conceived by a member of the Village’s Centennial Planning Committee as a way to involve the Webster School District, include youth in the observance, and provide students an educational experience in the arts. Joshua McGarvey and Chris Lutter (Puppet Farm Arts) are leading and collaborating with the students as they create three-dimensional fish constructed out of recycled objects such as political campaign signs, plastic bottles, wire and other materials. It’s a hands-on learning experience that involves innovative thinking, learning to use craft tools, design elements, and engineering. The sunfish will be

Raise A Glass To Dairy Farmers! They consistently deliver us farm-fresh dairy products with high nutritional value. Not only do their efforts nurture our local economy, they also nurture our health. Think of the number of things we eat that are dairy products: milk, butter, cheese, ice cream and more. Certain dairy products contain nine essential nutrients that help better manage weight, as well as reduce risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis and certain cancers. Maybe that’s why nutritionists recommend that you eat three servings of dairy per day. Best of all, dairy products are as delicious as they are nutritious. During Dairy Month, support the dairy market and share delicious dairy products with your family. They’re all good, and good for you!

Pirates bring home silver Pirates edged out by Laconia BY TODD BECKMANN AND GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
MADISON—So close, and yet so far. The Grantsburg Pirates left 12 runners on base and came out of the Division 3 State Softball Championship game on the short end of a 3-2 score to defending champion Laconia Spartans on Saturday, giving the Pirates the runners-up award. “The loss will sting for awhile, but the accomplishments of our season will always be there,” Pirate Head Coach Don Bjelland remarked following the game. Those accomplishments include compilling a 26-3 record, winning the regional title, winning the sectional title and perhaps the best accomplishment of all was beating Poynette in the state semi-finals. “Beating Poynette was big,” Bjelland admitted. “There’s always a lot of pressure to win that first game at state — otherwise, it seems like the season is incomplete.” It was no surprise to Bjelland his team ended its season in Madison. “I knew what we had,” the coach smiled knowingly. “As a team we set the goal to win the state title the first day of practice back in March.” That determined the mind-set of the girls from the get-go. “We had a couple of glitches early on,” Bjelland admitted. “But once we got on a roll, I knew the rest of the state was looking at us.” Beating the Poynette Pumas 10-0 in five innings Friday set the stage for Sat-
urday’s showdown. The Pirates were the visiting team so they got their at bats first. Britta Roufs walked. Olivia Tucker singled, moving Roufs to second. Two batters later, Briena Jensen reached on an error. Roufs scored on a throwing error by the Laconia second baseman, giving the Pirates a 1-0 lead. A ground out ended the inning and any further threats of scoring by Grantsburg. Two walks were issued in the Spartan half of the first, but they were left on base. Both squads went 1-2-3 in the second. Grantsburg got their second run in the third inning. Roufs walked, stole second and then advanced to third on a Spartan throwing error. She scored on a passed ball. Jordyn McKenzie singled and Megan Miller also walked, but they could get no further on the base paths. It was reported that, as the Pirates had a 1-0 and 2-0 lead, this was the first time all season that the Laconia Spartans had trailed in any game during the entire 2016 campaign — an undefeated sesason at 29-0. Laconia hit two singles in their third inning. However, the third out of the inning came when one runner tried to reach third base, but was tagged out on a throw from Johnson to Roufs. Grantsburg got two runners on base in the fourth, but were left stranded. The Spartans got their first run in the bottom of the fourth. A single, a walk and another single loaded the bases. Following a strikeout, a throwing error by Grantsburg allowed a Laconia runner to cross the plate. Another good defensive play happened on the throw by Tucker to McKenzie, stopping a second runner from scoring. A flyout ended the inning.

Pirates head coach Don Bjelland proudly hoists the State Runner-Up trophy on Saturday after falling to Laconia 3-2 in the championship game. The Pirates ended their season with an impressive 26-3 record, a 16th conference title, a 14th regional title and 8th sectional championship.

Grantsburg 2, Laconia 1. The Pirates got two on board in the fifth, but again were left on base. Laconia got the eventual tieing and winning runs in their half of the fifth. A single and three uncharacteristic Pirate errors allowed two scores and Grantsburg found themselves behind 3-2 after the fifth inning of play. Grantsburg loaded the bases with no one out in the sixth, but a foul out, a strike out and a tag at home ended any Pirates threat of a score. The Spartans got two on base in the bottom of the sixth, but the Pirate defense held, allowing no runs. With one out, Jensen and Quimby singled in the top of the seventh, but a flyout and a strikeout ended the game and the
championship went to Laconia. Olivia Tucker went the distance for Grantsburg, walking three and striking out 11. Four errors and 12 runners left on base prevented the Pirates from gaining the gold. “We didn’t play the way we normally play,” Bjelland pointed out. “But everyone contributed and like we’ve said all year, ‘We win together and we lose togther.’” Like Grantsburg, Laconia relies a lot on its pitching. “The game could have gone either way,” Bjelland concluded. “But, I’m convinced we were the better team.”

Pirates blank Poynette, head to championship game BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
MADISON—The Grantsburg Pirates fast pitch team got their wish on Friday as they shut out the Poynette Pumas 10-0 to advance to the Division 3 Championship on Saturday. Olivia Tucker went the distance for the Pirates, allowing just three hits, walking one and striking out nine. Cassidy Quimby had the hot bat for Grantsburg as she had two hits. Tucker and Cassidy Quimby each had two RBIs. Both teams went scoreless in the first inning, but the Pirates put one on the board in the top of the second. With one out, Briana Jensen and Cassidy Quimby both singled. On a wild pitch, both runners moved up. Claire Palmquist walked and Rhiana Pochman was hit by a pitch, getting Jensen home. Even though Poynette hit a triple in the bottom of the second, she was left stranded at third after two succes-

sive strikeouts by her teammates. The Pirates added two in the top of the third inning. Tucker and Jordyn McKenzie both walked (Jenna McNally and Rachel Glover pinch ran for Tucker and McKenzie respectively). Megan Miller singled a run home and then promptly stole second base. Jensen grounded out, scoring Glover. Grantsburg was up 3-0. The Pumas went 1-2-3 in their half of the inning. Two more runs came in for the Pirates in the fourth inning. MacKenna Johnson singled. Maddie Duncan sacrificed her to second. Tucker was intentionally walked. McKenzie singled, scoring Johnson. Miller grounded out, scoring McNally who was running for
Tucker. Pirates 5, Pumas 0. A single and a walk for Poynette had two runners on base, but both were stranded on an inning-ending strike out. The Pirates put five more runs up in the top of the fifth. Two highlights of the inning were a double by Palmquist (one RBI) and a two-run home run by Olivia Tucker over the center field fence. Poynette again went 1-2-3 in their half of the inning, ending the game and their season. The Pirates would face undefeated Laconia, who downed Mishicot 9-0 for the Division 3 crown.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
Ousti is a twoyear-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix that was recently surrendered to the shelter. This fellow is sweet and friendly, yet laid back. Ousti likes to back up to you and try to sit on your lap. He is a Ousti lovable character with a head that seems larger than his body. I didn’t have a second thought about sitting on the floor of his kennel to meet him as he is not a jumper, or in your face kind of dog. Ousti is well behaved and does well on a leash. Gus And, how can you resist his smile? Gus is a fiveyear-old Labrador Retriever mix with lots of energy. He LOVES playing ball and he brings the ball right back to you. This guy was surrendered with his friend, Sophie. He is friendly and happy-go-lucky, but might be a little much with small children. Of course, once he is in his furever home, I expect he will settle down and settle in. Like Ousti, Gus struck a great pose and smiled for the camera. Once again, I am asking for donations to our Star’s Fund. This fund is used for outof-the-ordinary medical expenses, which we seem to never have a lack of. From Heartworm treatment or Lyme disease treatment to necessary surgical procedures, the donations used from Star’s Fund help us immensely. To make sure your gift is directed to the Star’s Fund, please indicate so on your check or accompanying letter. As always, we appreciate your support and the animals depend on it. Thank you! If you are interested in adopting Ousti, Gus, or any of the animals from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096.

Paddling the St. Croix River — day trips Rocks, rapids and a side trip to Apple River canyon BY KYLE WEAVER
Shortly after my last trip on the Namekagon River, I loaned my kayak to my brother-in-law for use in the Adventure Triathlon in Grantsburg. He, and it, performed admirably amid some choppy, windy conditions on Phantom Lake. But, as luck would have it, one of the foot pegs broke. So, while the replacement parts were on order, I saw it as an opportunity to change my mode of transportation and enlist my tandem paddling partner, Jaime, on a couple of day trips. SUBMITTED
NAMEKAGON: SPRINGBROOK TO TREGO Promoted by the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway staff as one of its “Recommended Paddles,” this stretch of water is easily the one with which I am most familiar, though St. Croix Falls-to-Osceola is quickly gaining ground. If you’re keeping score, I left off last time at Big Bend Landing (N45.0). Wanting to add a couple rapids and a little time to our float, we chose to put in at Springbrook Landing (N49.9) instead, overlapping a bit from my last column. Since first learning to paddle last summer, Jaime has become a fairly competent bow paddler. Tandem canoes are sometimes called “divorce boats” and I can understand why. A truly good tandem paddling team needs to cooperate and communicate well. As with most such things, I’d say Jaime and I get along pretty well in a tandem canoe. Other than hitting some bumps in the rocky rapids just below Springbrook, we got our sea legs under us quickly and our paddle was leisurely and uneventful. We stopped for lunch at the group campsite at N44.8 and set up my hammock for a short lounge.

tubing outfitters along it. Fond as my childhood memories of tubing and canoeing along that stretch are, these days I much prefer paddling a quiet, unpopulated river. We took out at Trego Town Park Landing (N37.0), as I have so many times, and had dinner with my father on our way back to Osceola. APPLE RIVER CONFLUENCE Better known for its contributions to the float parks and music festivals of Somerset, the Apple River joins the St. Croix River across from the Arcola Sandbar, maybe two miles upstream from the Soo Line High Bridge. While not technically part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, this last stretch of the Apple caught my eye recently. After researching it a bit, we decided it would make a fun day trip. We weren’t wrong. In its last mile or two above the confluence, northwest of Somerset off County Road I, the Apple pours over an Xcel Energy hydro-electric dam, then winds through riffles and rapids in the Apple River Canyon State Natural Area. The east-west canyon features 100foot cliffs on either side and, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, has some unique plant communities that take advantage of the abundant shade. We parked along County Road I and,
assisted by some local tubers, portaged the canoe down the long hill by the dam. Note: the portage was not the best part of this trip. After putting in, we paddled upstream a bit and then did a quick tour of the hydro plant before entering the first rapids. The water was clear and cool and just as quickly as we entered the canyon, it seemed, we were exiting into the St. Croix. Instead of paddling the very last bend of the Apple, we split off through a seam in the grassy marsh and headed north through the backwater on the Wisconsin side into the St. Croix Islands State Natural Area. The upstream paddling wasn’t as easy as I had imagined it would be, but luckily, we didn’t have far to go. We had stashed our pick-up vehicle on a small piece of state land off Rice Lake Road and we arrived at it in no time. Overall, this small stretch of the Apple is somewhat of a hidden gem. If you can stand the portage, it’s definitely worth seeing, though one might consider making it a longer, easier trip by arranging a downstream pick-up. Until next time, I’ll see you on the water.

She never complained as she stoically endured the loss of her health, and she never waivered from her faith in Jesus Christ. Exhibiting tremendous will, courage and grace, she died peacefully in her home surrounded by love and the abiding attention of her family and was delivered, assuredly, into the loving arms of her Savior. She is survived by her four adoring children: Bradley Lemire (Kristen Christensen) of Washburn, WI, Susan Wohlfarth (Ronald) of Lenexa, KS, Steven Lemire (Sue) of Platteville, WI, and Nancy Harbour (Gary Moore) of Warrenton.

Love, compassion and humility If the goal of our Christian life is to live into the image of God, and God is love, then we have to learn how to love as God loves. Jesus came to live so we could see God’s image and learn to love as God loves us. There are two important qualities of God’s love that Jesus demonstrated for us: humility and compassion. These are the keys to loving as God loves. On the last night with his disciples, Jesus took off his robe, kneeled down and washed their feet. Jesus did not take on an attitude of superiority though he was their teacher
and master. In love and humility, he took off his robe of superiority, knelt before them and touched their feet. He asks us to do the same. If we serve others from an attitude of superiority, we are not loving as God loves us. No amount of piety and good works make us any better than another. Humility requires us to see ourselves and all others as children loved by God, in need of grace and mercy. When Jesus encountered the unclean, he had compassion for them. Compassion means to share in the suffering of others, it
is not a feeling of the heart, but a feeling that comes from deep within. Love and compassion, as demonstrated in the life of Jesus, requires us to act. Even though it would make him ceremonially unclean, Jesus reached out, touched the leper and restored him to his family and community. If we are to love as God loves us we must learn how to feel deeply for others, to take off our robes of superiority, and dare to reach out and be in intimate contact with those society claims are outcast and unclean.
