Kleiss resigns Grantsburg board BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—At the close of Monday evening’s Grantsburg Village Board meeting, Trustee Rod Kleiss announced he was resigning from the board, effective immediately. Speaking quietly, Kleiss said, “Before we dismiss, I just want to say I’m going to resign from the board now. I just don’t see that we’re going to have any common ground. I don’t see that my presence on the board will do any good. It seems like we are on such different paths. This will be my last meeting.”

Village Board President Glenn Rolloff responded, “Very good. Thank you for your service.” Trustee Diane Barton asked, “Does that need to be in writing?” Village Clerk Jennifer Zeiler responded to Kleiss, “Yes, if you would put something in writing, that would be great.” Kleiss nodded that he would. “Fantastic,” Rolloff said. “Adjourned?” The meeting ended. Kleiss turned in his village-issued iPad and departed. Thus ended an era of often-acrimonious SEE KLEISS, PAGE 6

SIREN—The final two pieces seem to be in place for the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department to begin its own K-9 program. “Dr. Greg Palmquist, owner of the Grantsburg Veterinary Hospital, has agreed to donate the basic veterinary services for our K-9,” Sheriff Ron Wilhelm told members of the county’s public safety committee last week. In addition, the county has discovered it

can offer a procedure by which residents can make donations to the K-9 program and get a tax deduction for the effort. Even if they hadn’t, Wilhelm talked of using the department’s Citizens Auxiliary, which has its own 501(c)3 moniker, for tax-deductible K-9 donations. “I’m totally in favor of going in-house,” the sheriff pointed out. The department is looking at a $20,000 investment for the first year, which includes SEE K-9, PAGE 6

SIREN—The seemingly innocuous item of Burnett County weight scales was on the agenda at the county’s public safety committee meeting on Thursday. At issue is the fact the county has not been doing random truck weight stops for the past two years. “There is no way for towns to enforce road restrictions without those weight stops,” Gary Lundberg, supervisor for the Town of Scott, pointed out. He was referring to the seasonal spring road bans the highway department issues for county and town roads each spring restricting vehicles to, in most cases, no more than 4.5 tons per axle. The 2016 ban went into effect March 19, almost two weeks earlier than usual due to the weather, and will most likely be lifted later this month — but those bans are obviously weather-dependent. The problem, as Lundberg and other town super-

PLYMOUTH, Minn.—Sitting in his “office,” watching the cardinals feed on the porch or watching the occasional bald eagle fly over Bass Lake about 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, author Tom Combs is putting the final touches on the sequel to “Nerve Damage” — due out this summer. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Combs, who penned his debut medical thriller “Nerve Damage” which was released in 2014, will be the featured speaker at the Grantsburg Public Library’s 12th annual spring gala on Saturday, April 30.

Learn To Hunt Turkey event April 22-24 at Crex GRANTSBURG—Those interested in building a strong connection with nature, learning more about conservation, eating locally and sustainably, and receiving hands-on training from hunting experts are encouraged to head to Crex Meadows Wildlife Area in April for a “Learn to Hunt Turkey” event. Learn-to-Hunt events welcome novice adult and youth (12 years and older) hunters. A classroom segment and range session for shooting practice are set from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, April 22 at Crex Meadows. Dinner will be provided onsite. A turkey hunt for students will occur April 23-24. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources encourages friends or families with no hunting connection to sign up in groups and enjoy this unique experience together. Wisconsin’s hunting tradition is all about families learning and hunting together, and Wisconsin’s woods and fields in spring are the perfect place to experience hunting for the first time. This Learn to Hunt Turkey event will pair each student with an experienced hunter. Here, attendees will learn about conservation, hunting tactics, and firearm safety during the classroom portion of the

event. They will also have an opportunity to experience turkey hunting in Wisconsin. Pre-registration is required by April 15. Space is limited to 12 participants. The event is free of charge. Since novices will be hunting with a mentor, hunter education requirements are waived and no license is required. Hunting gear will be provided if needed, and bunkhouses are available to participants. Contact DNR Wildlife Conservation Educator Kristi Pupak at 715-463-2739 for more information.

We ask each lady attending to bring a female hygiene item (shampoo, Chapstick®, deodorant, etc.) to donate to Faith House in an effort to “shower” the occupants with our love and much needed items. “What’s the Good News?” is the topic of our guest speaker, Sherian Foster of Lodi, WI, as she shares her journey through

good news, bad news and the best news of all. Rachel Lee of Webster will provide special music. Please bring a friend and join us. Reservations can be made by calling Jane at 715566-0081.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Some things are better left unsaid which I generally realize right after I have said them.

4 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

APRIL 13, 2016

Author, author! The tyranny of the blank page — a conundrum every author faces at some point. I had a chance to sit and visit with Tom Combs this past week, the man who penned “Nerve Damage” — a medical thriller. A debut novel, no less. I’ve read dozens and dozens of debut novels in my life — or rather, I’ve read the first couple of chapters of dozens and dozens of debut novels in my life before realizing they weren’t grabbing my attention. However, “Nerve Damage” ranks right up there with some of the better reading experiences I have had. I really envy natural storytellers. Sure, he has 25 years worth of real-life experience as an emerSeems to gency room doctor from which he can draw story ideas. And, Me he knows the medical jargon make it sound authentic but Todd Beckmann to that does not an author make. He said himself that just because he has led an interesting life, the simple idea of writing it down doesn’t mean it will be of interest to anyone else. He said conflict is what drives a good book and “Nerve Damage” has it in spades. Not to spoil your future reading pleasure (I hate it when columnists do that), Combs has crafted a story line where the reader (at least in my case) wants to find out what happens. He’s also created characters the reader may be able to identify with and root for, or root against, as the case may be. In addition, Combs has, in his first book out of the gate, perfected the short chapter. I have really come to enjoy short chapters — it seems to keep the story moving along. In fact, a colleague of Combs’, to whom he gave a copy of the pre-published book for his feedback, cursed him for crafting such a good book — a book he couldn’t put down and was up until 2 a.m. one night to finish. I’m the same way — I need to know how the story evolves and short chapters have a way of making that happen. To me, it’s the definition of a page-turner. No, I’m not getting a percentage of book sales. It’s just that enjoyable novelists are hard to come by and it’s hard not to flaunt a new one — especially a local guy whom I’ve met and had a cup of coffee with. Any serious reader will know there are thousands and thousands of choices to make when it comes to books. I’ve read more than my share of them that just don’t do it for me — maybe I’m a snob when it comes to reading. What can I say? I know what I like. With the addition of Combs, my must-read list of authors comes in at an even dozen. If you’re an ardent reader, you know the list I speak of. It’s the kind of list that drives you to Barnes and Noble once a month to see what new book your favorite authors have released — and then to the library to get your name on the waiting list for those books.

BURNETT COUNTY

We must move on “The Trial of the Century” is back in the news once again. Thanks to a television dramatization, the double murder trial of O.J. Simpson has once again become hip. Former National Football League star, commercial pitchman and movie star Simpson was accused and eventually acquitted of the June 12, 1994 deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and waiter Ron Goldman. From the The trial that Publisher’s took place in Los Angeles from Desk November, 1994 to October of 1995 Tom Stangl was televised, scrutinized and sensationalized. Nearly every person in the nation had an opinion on Simpson’s guilt or innocence. Simpson’s defense team, led by Johnnie Cochran, included several high profile attorneys: Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey and Alan Dershowitz. Simpson’s friend, Robert Kardashian, was also among the defense team. I felt the television series offered a unique view into the spectacle that was the People vs. O.J. Simpson. More than 20 years later, some people are more interested in the late Robert Kardashian’s family

and their reality TV antics and may have found it interesting that “Uncle Juice” was portrayed as contemplating suicide in “little Kimmy’s” bedroom. The series didn’t try to steer you one way or another, but I fear that while it was great television, it was another setback for racial relations in our country. I recall at the time of the verdict, opinions on Simpson’s guilt or innocence fell fairly consistently along race lines, with white people believing that he had committed the murders, while black people saw Simpson as a victim of police misconduct and framing. I hesitate to even use the terms “white” and “black” when discussing race because our society has once again become so sensitized to issues regarding race that we don’t even know how to talk about our differences. Growing up in the 1960s, I watched the protests and riots as our nation struggled with equality. We are just two years away from being a half century removed from the madness of 1968, the year that nearly tore our nation apart. Between the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, two men who could have and I believe would have changed the face of race relations, protests of the war in Vietnam and the general feeling that things were on the edge of oblivion, 1968 was a year that our nation was

fortunate to survive. I don’t know if we can come through another year like 1968. On the surface, after electing the first black president to two terms in office, you would have thought that we had gotten past the divide and closer to the land Dr. King envisioned, “where people will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” But it seems like we are sliding back to the abyss of 1968. We can’t let that happen. We need to move beyond the sins of our ancestors and reach for the freedom that is everyone’s birthright. As Dr. King said in his “I Have A Dream” speech, “Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.” Reliving the days that divided us needs to reinforce why we must not allow them to return. Remember this when the remake of Alex Haley’s “Roots” comes to television this summer. Entertainment can be a powerful force. We must not allow it to be used to justify hate.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion.

Earth Notes

Wisconsin’s Gaylord Nelson Founder of Earth Day BY JEN BARTON RECYCLING CONTROL COMMISSION

Former Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson was a leading figure in the fight against environmental degradation and social injustice in the 20th century. Sen. Nelson’s best known achievement is the founding of Earth Day in 1970. Described by American Heritage Magazine as “one of the most remarkable happenings in the history of democracy,” Earth Day made environmental protection a major national issue. It had massive public support, which forced politicians to see the severity of the problems and the extent of public concern. The first Earth Day galvanized Congress into creating some of the most important U.S. environmental legislation. A distinguished and influential public servant, Nelson served 10 years in the Wisconsin Senate, was twice elected Governor of Wisconsin, and, in 1962, began an 18year career in the U.S. Senate. Senator Nelson’s many achievements include legislation to reserve the 2,000-mile Appalachian Trail; mandate fuel efficiency standards in automobiles; control strip mining; ban the use of DDT; ban the use of 245T (agent orange); create the St. Croix Wild and Scenic Riverway and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, and many others (too many to list!)

Gaylord Nelson

Senator Nelson co-sponsored the National Environmental Education Act and wrote legislation to create the Upper Great Lakes Regional Commission. He helped create Operation Mainstream/ Green Thumb, which employed the elderly in conservation projects. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including two from the United Nations Environment Program. Gaylord Nelson became Counselor of The Wilderness Society in January, 1981. In his 14 years at The Wilderness Society, Nel-

son focused his efforts on protecting America’s national forests, national parks, and other public lands. In his later years, Nelson focused his efforts on U.S. population issues and sustainability. A little history on Sen. Nelson: Born June 4, 1916, in Clear Lake, WI, Nelson received his B.A degree in 1939 from San Jose (CA) State College and his LLB at the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1942. He served 46 months in the U.S. Army during World War II as a first lieutenant during the Okinawa campaign. Returning to Madison, Nelson practiced law from 1946 to 1958. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest honor for civilians, in 1995. In the speech he gave that year to mark the 25th anniversary of Earth Day, he kept his gaze on the horizon: “The opportunity for a gradual but complete break with our destructive environmental history and a new beginning is at hand. We can measure up to the challenge if we have the will to do so—that is the only question. I am optimistic that this generation will have the foresight and the will to begin the task of forging a sustainable society.” Nelson remained a national figure in environmental politics as Counselor of the Wilderness Society until his death in 2005. We are so proud to call him a fellow Badger!

Welcome back to our snowbirds who have returned. It was nice to see some back playing cards and enjoying the evening meal. Have you noticed all the robins digging in the yards?

You can even win cash prizes when you holler “BINGO!” Special thanks to Darwin and Marilyn Niles for donating a large can of coffee to the center for our cards. We really appreciate getting the gift.

KLEISS: Ends tumultuous service to village CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

village board meetings in which Kleiss, at nearly every session in the past year, passionately spoke and sometimes preached to his fellow board members about his vision for the community. He occasionally continued for 20-30 minutes, usually to the consternation of fellow board members. His monologues, as they came to be called, were not appreciated. At a meeting some months back, when Kleiss started to speak and appeared to be gaining a head of steam, Trustee Larry Ebersold stood up, stared at Kleiss a few moments, and wordlessly left the room. Kleiss hoped to persuade his fellow board members to add village features and amenities that he felt would attract young professionals and their families, especially professional engineers, to accept local jobs and buy or build homes in Grantsburg. Kleiss said engineers were needed to not only grow his former engineering business, Kleiss Gears, but to attract other businesses to Grantsburg Industrial Park. Kleiss sold his business last year but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose his vision for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;outdoors Meccaâ&#x20AC;? he wanted to Grantsburg to become. The cornerstones of his vision to make Grantsburg â&#x20AC;&#x153;a destinationâ&#x20AC;? included recreation trails, an active airport for hobbyist fliers and small business aviation, a revitalized downtown, and more spending on improvements and maintenance for parks, trails and the tennis court. His vision included a thriving Grantsburg Library, with increased funding and longer hours. His relentless advocacy to the village board and county board of supervisors over the past two years has helped advance the library, as it now moves to 44 operating hours this week, up from 32. At Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, the fireworks began when discussion turned to a now-familiar topic:

Rod Kleiss

what to do with the prime piece of recently-cleared real estate north of the Grantsburg Post Office, along the Wood River. Board members agreed that getting the property back on the tax rolls though development would be best. But what kind of development? The most popular option among board members is to hire a developer to attract one or more investors to build something significant there, such as condos or townhouses in a mix of private, non-subsidized homes available to any renter, and assisted-living housing. Light industry, â&#x20AC;&#x153;like where people write apps,â&#x20AC;? was another option, Rolloff suggested, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but not another starch factory (referring to a building on the site a century ago) or another ironworks. Not heavy industrial.â&#x20AC;? Another suggestions was to use the land for retail shops with lots of flowers, curved walks and trees. Kleiss took the opportunity to once again share his vision with the board, and stood to address them. He tried to bolster his arguments with a series of charts, which he distributed to the board members and public. They showed a recent decline in village population, a steady but not growing economy, and, Kleiss said, a harm-

ful lack of investment in parks and recreation facilities. Kleiss said trails were the best way to enliven the community and attract not only occasional visitors but new residents, new retail businesses and a perhaps an upscale restaurant along the river. To Kleissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; credit, as he has done for the library, he has put his passion for trails into action by using his own tractor to help clear and maintain trail ways in summer. He also purchased a winter trail grooming attachment and has provided the tractor and volunteer hours to groom ski and snowshoe trails after snowfalls in recent winters. Asked last night by Trustee Ebersold to close his eyes and envision â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the perfect Grantsburg, this wonderful community,â&#x20AC;? Kleiss didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ideally, the perfect venue for Grantsburg is the village where all trails meet,â&#x20AC;? Kleiss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trails for snowmobiles, ATVs, skiers, hikers, bikers, kayakers, airplanes. Trails. It all comes together here, and once you start to have that you attract the kind of people who are doing that. Then you draw the kind of support for those activities, like restaurants, and small shops. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right next the St. Croix River and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right next to Crex Meadows and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not taking advantage of it. We need for us all to work in harmony.â&#x20AC;? Other board members, including Rolloff most vociferously, bristled at Kleissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; characterization that the board was not doing enough. Rolloff countered that Grantsburg faces similar problems to many other small, rural communities and is doing no worse than others. To dramatize his opposition to Kleissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; statements and charts, Rolloff stood, ripped the Kleiss documents in half, twice, and threw them in the wastebasket. President Rolloff then ended the 29-minute discussion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get back to the topic at hand, and I apologize to everybody for allowing Mr. Kleiss to derail this meeting. Mr. Kleiss is speaking only for himself, not the GRO Committee or the village board.â&#x20AC;? Dejectedly, Kleiss said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I apologize to you all. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be able to have an effect. And I am sorry for that.â&#x20AC;? Kleiss was appointed to the village board in May of 2013. In April of 2015 he was elected to a two-year term, which will be completed by appointment.

obtaining the dog, training for both the dog and its handler, and other associated costs. Estimates place the second and subsequent years at about $10,000. Even though people have donated about $4,000 to the cause, at least one member of the committee wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure the program would be fully funded via public donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The committee supports the idea and portions of the community are obviously behind it but we have to build it into the budget,â&#x20AC;? member Jeremy Gronski opined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have money for the program and if wee get enough donations to pay that money back â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be an excellent situation.â&#x20AC;? Emmett Bryne Plus, any â&#x20AC;&#x153;hitsâ&#x20AC;? the dog gets could produce some funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe the county would get a return on any drug busts our K-9 would make,â&#x20AC;? member Emmett Bryne remarked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps that money could go back into the fund.â&#x20AC;? The K-9 program is on track to employ the new dog on the streets in January 2017.

In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ We are prepared for the final installation at the Jackson tower site to make it fully functional,â&#x20AC;? Rhonda Reynolds, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency management director told the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was after Joe Daniels Construction was in to tour the sites and fix the inefficiencies which had been pointed out by our contractor.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ The committee approved establishing a Criminal Justice Collaborating Council (CJCC) in Burnett County. It is admittedly early in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CJCC is still in the infancy stage but we want to get what other counties have,â&#x20AC;? member Gene Olson reported. In essence, the CJCC would provide a coordinated leadership necessary to establish and foster innovative, effective corrections programs for adult and juvenile offenders and to effectively qualify for state and federal grants to fund such programs. It may be early in the process but committee members did inquire about the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s makeup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; noting the council most likely does not need the 50 people who showed at the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As time goes on, we will be drafting formal bylaws,â&#x20AC;? Judge Ken Kutz explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can address specific membership questions at that time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Medical examiner Mike Maloney reported the death investigations handled through his office is back to a more normal dozen in 2015 after spiking at 22, 20 and 20 in 20p012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. â&#x20AC;˘ Reynolds reported 30 citizens took part in the annual Skywarn training last week.

created the scenario that almost begged Combs to become an author — in fact, writing was always a career that interested him. “A skillful author takes the reader places — almost an emotional journey,” he explained. “If your emotions are not involved in your reading, it’s probably not something you are going to enjoy.” His career of choice gave him ample story lines. “Stories, by and large, are about conflict,” Combs noted. “If you have happy people in happy land with happy things happening, you don’t have a story.” With 25 years of emergency room experience to draw on, Combs characters and settings are anything but happy people in happy land. “In medicine, my area of training and experience, there is always unbelievable drama because there is always conflict,” he pointed out. “I knew from the start I was going to be writing a series so it allows me to develop the characters — it’s something which appeals to me,” Combs remarked. But he knows he has to be careful. “Not many people read a series start to finish so writers have the challenge of the back story — the ability to make the book stand on its own,” he continued. “If it’s not done right — it stops the story.” As non-authors may imagine, novels are not written first page to last in order. “I write in sections,” Combs revealed. “I really enjoy writing Kip (a character in “Nerve Damage”).” And contrary to what people may believe, Combs said characters in “Nerve Damage” are not amalgamations of people he has worked with because he has worked with some of the best. “I even had to apologize for writing about one doctor character because he was kind of a jerk,” he said. “People would recognize who they thought the character was based on and say ‘Oh, that’s soand-so,’ and I’d have to tell them it wasn’t.” That said, Combs said some of his characters are ‘inspired’ by one or two real people he has come across in his career. He compares series writing to developing a brand — and his particular brand is about damaged people, thus the titles. “‘Nerve Damage’ is a medical condition, just like “Hard to Breathe,” the working title of my sequel, is a medical condition,” the author admitted with a laugh. “It needed a title — I got sick of calling it Book II or my work-in-progress.” The literary world may have been denied “Nerve Damage” had it not been for his own medical incident in 2007 — an aneurysm. So debilitating was the event, he was unable to continue his work in the ER. “I probably took 30 courses over six years at the Loft Literacy Center here in Minneapolis,” Combs related. “It is a school where published authors instruct want-to-be authors.” In fact, a piece he wrote for one of his courses ended up being the core of “Nerve Damage.” He said being at the “Loft” really helped him heal. “The thought which went into crafting a thriller — it was a real cognitive workout for me,” Combs stated. His first book was published by Evoke, an independent publishing house. “Primary sales of the book or an ebook is

through Amazon.com but readers can order print copies via my website,” Combs noted. “My website is www.tom-combs.com.” Copies of the book are also available for loan through Grantsburg Public Library and Larsen Family Public Library in Webster. He said he was first contacted by the Friends of the Library in November 2015 about being a guest speaker. “I wish they were my marketing team — I’m very impressed with the Grantsburg library and its dynamic supporters,” Combs continued. “I am looking forward to the gala.” The social hour for the gala is set for 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 30 at Crex Convention Center in Grantsburg, with dinner at 7 p.m. and Combs to follow. Attendees will also be able to bid on a number of items during the silent auction fundraiser.

Becoming an author Growing up in Minneapolis, Combs credits his appreciation for reading to his upbringing in a Catholic grade school but that interest was shelved by the time he got to high school. “I was a screw-up in high school,” Combs admitted. “I was into sports but I was usually the guy the coaches made do laps.” Then came college but after a semester or two the fire went out. “I had been thinking I wanted to pursue a business degree but it just wasn’t grabbing me,” he added. So he quit college, attended some night school and did everything from working as a lumberjack and road construction to working in a foundry and as a technical writer to help make ends meet. But fate intervened. “I decided to take a run at pre-med,” Combs related. “It seemed like a career which ‘mattered.’” He eventually earned his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. He agrees that it is difficult not to let ‘medical speak” into his writing. “I do use specialized words now and then but try to couch them in such a way that it makes sense to the reader,” he reported. From there it was the University of Minnesota Medical School. “That was an exciting deal for me,” Combs said. But perhaps the defining moment of his soonto-be career was when he interned at Hennepin County Medical Center in the relatively new specialty of emergency medicine. “We saw everything — when it goes bad, it goes to the ER,” Combs voiced. “But working there really brought it home — I knew I was in the right place.” He served three years at the University of Cincinnati, years which gave him a good appreciation for EMS workers. Combs also flew air rescue while in Ohio. The bulk of his career was at North Memorial Hospital in Minneapolis. In the highest burnout specialty career there is, where the average career for an ER doctor is 10 years, Combs made it 18 years at North, 25 in all. “I was lucky to spend most of my career at North Memorial,” Combs praised. “It was a fantastic place with fantastic doctors and nurses — I’m in awe of them.” Back to his office on the lake, Combs is anticipating the release of “Hard to Breathe” this summer.

visors see it, is the weight of unchecked vehicles can damage the roads on which they travel, requiring towns to spend potentially unnecessary dollars on repair. But that needn’t be the case. “Word gets out quick if there’s a weight stop,” Lundberg noted. Vehicle weight enforcement falls to Burnett County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Steve Sacharski. The department got me a new vehicle in 2013, and the new truck squad does not have room to transport the scales,” Sacharski reported. But Lundberg saw the problem before it became a problem. “The sheriff’s department decided to save some money and purchased a smaller vehicle — one which, as it turned out, Steve Sacharski could not carry the scales,” he explained. Not that it would have mattered a whole lot in the interim. “Because we are short-staffed, we can’t ignore emergency calls just so he can do trucks,” Sheriff Ron Wilhelm remarked. He said the short-staff situation began in 2013 — coinciding with the purchase of Sacharski’s new squad. But even in a fully-staffed department, the deputy can’t do trucks 24/7. “About 50 percent of my time could be devoted to truck inspections and truck weight stops if I’m not on another call,” Sacharski noted. The Wisconsin State Patrol, which does routinely monitor Burnett County traffic, does have its own mobile scales. “They could do weight checks on our county roads but those aren’t their primary routes, Jared Woody, jail administrator, interjected. But that’s not the best solution either. “The county only gets 10 percent of any citation issued by the state patrol,” Sacharski added. “But if I were to issue a citation on a county or town road, all of the money stays local.” That local money could go into a fund to help repair damaged roads. While there was no hard and fast decision from Thursday’s discussion, one thing was clear: “When it comes time to trade in Sacharski’s vehicle, keep this debate in mind,” Lundberg concluded.

Staying current on auto repair BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—Fifteen months ago automotive repair businesses like Diamond Collision in Webster were gearing up for massive changes in vehicle production, namely the switch by Ford Motor Company to release an all-new F-150. The world’s most popular pick-up truck converted to an all-aluminum body. It was a game-changer. “These changes are driven by the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards and new legislation which require vehicles to be safer,” Judy Sperry, who with husband Mike, owns Diamond Collision, remarked. “Plus, customers love the computer-

‘We need to know how to protect their investment.’ Judy Sperry Diamond Collision ized gadgetry,” she said. Since then, the 2016s have come off the line and, in another game-changing move, Ford released the 2016 F250 with Alcoa’s proprietary Micromill aluminum alloy. “It’s lighter and stronger yet. “In addition to being able to drop another 350 pounds, the aluminum has bend-ability. It is maleable. It can take on intricate shapes,” Sperry exclaimed.

The Sperry’s have heard Dodge and Chevy are going this route too. The importance of these changes is clear when you consider the vehicles on the road in this area. “In Burnett County, everyone has a truck because they are very utilitarian. “People use them to go hunting, to haul wood, lots of purposes,” Sperry noted. “That makes it essential for us to know how to repair the vehicles and to have the right equipment for the job.” Late in 2014, Diamond Collision invested in new equipment and training to accommodate the changes in highstrength steel and amalgamates. But, with new changes, the Sperry’s are updating again. “Vehicle repair is a daunting task — you either embrace it or run away from it,” Sperry pointed out. Diamond Collision’s newest piece of equipment is the aluminum electrical-induction pulse welder. “These new metals hate heat so that’s why you need a pulse welder — it doesn’t generate heat to weld,” Sperry explained. “If you don’t have this type of welder, you shouldn’t even be working on today’s aluminum-body vehicles.” To accommodate the necessary changes, Diamond Collision added 1,100 square feet to its building. “It is a designated ‘clean room,’” Sperry indicated. “Cross contamination of steel and aluminum dust is disastrous.” The company has also invested about $23,000 in new equipment and another $21,000 in training and certification.

Judy and Mike Sperry

“It’s like opening a whole new shop,” Sperry pointed out. She said auto repair facilities need to have the latest equipment and knowledge to provide a quality repair for their customers. “After their home, cars and trucks are American’s next biggest investment,” she added. “We need to know how to protect their investment.” To help with their repairs, Diamond Collision does have a vehicle repair subscription service which, in addition to the 4-inch thick instruction manual for the welder, for example, can assist them in repairing a 800-282-8103 • 715-417-0303 vehicle. “ H avi n g access to that information is Reliable c r i t i c a l ,” Professional Sperry said.

ing to throw at you.” Like door handles. “It used to be a 20-minute process to remove a door handle,” she claimed. “Now it may be a 3-hour job.” Headlamps, fog lamps and sensor systems need calibration and integration with the vehicle’s computer. “Diagnostics have become a critical requirement during the repair process,” Sperry noted. “There are countless styles and locations of computer modules throughout a vehicle – after an accident, the impact alone may cause a malfunction.” She said a module malfunction may cause systems to fail – like a light not lighting, a vapor sensor failing or the vehicle failing to start, to name a few. “We need to know what is wrong in order to fix it,” she added. Sperry and others in the automotive repair business wait with bated breath to see what will be new with the 2017 models. “If you don’t stay current, I don’t think you are going to be able to catch up,” she concluded.

Volunteer name and role: Lee Moyer, Grantsburg Middle School - 5th Grade Field Trip Chaperone and Classroom Volunteer. We are fortunate to have many wonderful volunteers at GMS! Lee Moyer is one of them! Lee owns his own business, Moyer’s Dirt Works, which gives him the flexibility not only to volunteer, but also to stop in for lunch with his daughter, Jessie, on occasion. Having lunch with her allows Lee to spend time with Jessie and also to get to know her classmates better, which is helpful when volunteering. When asked why he feels it is important to volunteer, Lee said, “It makes Jessie happy.” Jessie said she likes when her dad comes in because she likes “being able to be with him.” Lee says he doesn’t skate, but volunteered to go on the 5th grade field trip to the hockey rink simply because he likes to help the kids out. He spent most of the time tying skates.

‘Neighbors Helping Neighbors’ this summer ST. CROIX FALLS— Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity is looking for willing partners such as individuals, churches, civic organizations, youth, military, men’s, women’s and veterans groups to help your neighbors in need on “Home Preservation” projects. • Do you have a home in your neighborhood that needs a helping hand? • Is the home owner (family) a veteran, senior citizen, single parent, disabled or just someone who lacks the skills or tools to complete the work themselves? • Do you have a group (men, women and/or teens) that would like to do “mission work” in your own neighborhood? • Would you like to adopt a home preservation project for a family in your area? • Are you willing to partner with Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity to help a family? • Are you willing to volunteer for a day or more giving to a person in need? If your group wants to adopt a portion of the cost of the materials and preform some or all of the sweat equity required

for the family this would be a great asset and you would be providing a major blessing for the family. Projects will be scheduled for completion between April and October of 2016, weather permitting. The projects must be located in Burnett, Polk, Rusk or Washburn counties. Homeowners must live in their homes full time. Trailer homes must be on owner’s lot, or permission from the lot owner must be secured. Homeowner must have insurance on their home.

Guidelines • Homeowners are expected to be cooperative partners with staff and volunteers. • Volunteers will perform 95 percent of the work to be done. • Costs should not exceed 50 percent of the home value. Background, sex offender and credit checks will be performed before applicant is accepted. • Repairs needed must match the scope of work Habitat Home Preservation program covers, including weather stripping, soffit and fascia repair, glass replacement, exterior painting and

more. • Homes built prior to 1978 and some after, usually contain lead paint. If lead paint is involved, houses will be considered on a case-by-case basis after inspection by a lead-safety-certified individual. Home Preservation helps revitalize the appearance of the neighborhood strengthens connections within the community and helps preserve affordable housing stock. Home Preservation helps preserve homeownership by partnering with homeowners struggling to maintain their home. Homeowners are eligible to participate based on factors such as the condition of the home, in-

come, or a demonstration of challenging circumstances such as disability, illness or age that prevent them from doing the work by themselves. Qualifying homeowners contribute sweat equity by working side-by-side with volunteers to complete the work (if they are able), or an agreed upon alternative, if unable. Some expenses and materials are involved in all the projects. Habitat’s mission is to give a handup, not a hand-out. A payment plan will be set up with the homeowner or the sponsoring group. Please call Denise to see what dates are available at 715-483-2700 etx.10 for more details to see how you can help your neighbors.

Wanting Chow Mein Yesterday, while looking for my son’s social security card, I thought it would be in his baby box. I have baby boxes for each child instead of baby books. The boxes are a jumbled mess of important papers, pictures, and every cute thing they ever made. I knew, before I even opened it, I would get all tied up in mementos that would trigger a flood of memories. Could I open the box and not get sucked in? I was reminded of the children’s book If you give a mouse a cookie by Laura Numeroff. It’s about a mouse who gets a cookie from a boy, but then needs a glass of milk. With the milk, he needs a straw, and if he needs a straw, etc. You get the idea. It’s a circular tale of… if this, then that. That is what happened when I open my son’s baby box. Right on top, addressed to him when

he was born in 1993, was a card from my dear friend, Helen Hickler, who has since passed away. She was in her 90s then. She was a sweet, childless lady who took me under her wing after my grandmother died. When I read the card, I was reminded of recipes she had shared over the years which I still prepare and have shared them with you. One was oven Chow Mein. Where did that recipe go? Off to the recipe box in search of it. I found it, plus a recipe for puppy chow. I started making both, because my husband loves puppy chow, so I better hide it before he came home. When all was said and done, I had scattered the contents of the baby box all over—plus, I had made huge mess cooking! The sad part: I never found my son’s social security card—but we had an awesome memorable

meal. My husband found the puppy chow. This recipe turns out perfect every time. I changed Helen’s recipe a little. She used to add one cup of rice to the chow mein, but we like it better with the rice cooked separately on the side. So, if you give a mom a baby box, she will find a card that will remind her of a recipe that she will want to find. Then, when she finds that recipe, she will find more recipes and want to cook even more things. If she cooks, her kitchen will get messy—but her family will be happy.

Oven Chow Mein 1 lb. hamburger 2 large onions 6 stalks celery 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 ½ cups hot water

¼ cup soy sauce 1 package crunchy Chinese noodles 6 cups hot cooked rice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large fry pan, over medium high heat, brown the hamburger, onion, and celery; about 7 minutes. Add the soups (do not dilute), water, and soy sauce to the meat mixture. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan, cover tightly and bake for 2 hours. Serve spooned over cooked rice and top with Chinese noodles.

Lisa Erickson is a food writer who loves an adventure—especially when food is involved. You can find more recipes on her blog at www.wild-chow. com email her at wildchowrecipes@gmail.com. with questions or comments.

As the author of more than 17 books, creator of numerous training CDs and DVDs, and through 4 Corners Alliance, Joan’s focus is evident—to see the Body of Christ set free in their body, mind, soul, spirit, and finances. She is dedicated to take the Healing Power of Jesus Beyond the 4 Walls of the Church to the 4 Corners of the Earth!

In late March, employees of Washburn/Burnett County Farm Service Agency (FSA) gave the Webster K-4 grade students a presentation about agriculture in honor of National Agriculture Month. FSA brought the “farm life” to the students by teaching them facts about farm animals and crops including real-life examples of barley, corn, hay, and soybeans. A demonstration was also given about chickens and rabbits, and each student had the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the animals. FSA employees Ashley Marschall, Evie Moore, and Jordan Nyhus are grateful to the Webster Elementary School for allowing FSA the opportunity to share agriculture awareness with the students.

WILDSIDE Volunteers needed for Namekagon River cleanup April 30 Celebrate the National Park Centennial by helping the National Park Service and Namekagon River Partnership clean up the Namekagon River on Saturday, April 30. This fourth annual cleanup will focus on six sections of the Namekagon: • Phipps Landing to Eagle’s Landing. • Eagle’s Landing to Hayward Landing. • Hayward Landing to Stinnett Landing. • Stinnett Landing to North Springbrook Landing. • North Springbrook Landing to Earl Landing. • Earl Landing to Lakeside Road Landing. Volunteers will split into teams to travel each river section in canoes or drift boats, collecting trash along the way. For those who do not want to be on the water, there are opportunities to help with event logistics, like driving volunteers to and from the work sites (i.e., put-in and take-out points). Because there are a limited number of canoes and life jackets available, volunteers must pre-register. To volunteer, call the Hayward Fly Fishing Company at (715) 634-8149. Registration deadline is Friday, April 22. Volunteers will meet at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 30 at Hayward DNR Ranger Station parking area off of Hwy 27. Bring water, lunch, weather-appropriate clothing, and sunscreen.

When springtime starts with sloppy mud, gray skies, and tepid weather, it’s hard to get excited about the season. No sound is better able to pierce this wet blanket than the ringing “konk-la-ree” call of a red-winged blackbird with its thrilling trill at the end. I’ve heard it everywhere lately, from a lakeside bike ride to my walk from car to office. Red-winged blackbirds are year-round residents in much of their range, which stretches from the Yukon down to the Yucatan. The northern breeders, though, must migrate far enough south to find crop stubble with waste grain and weed seeds not buried by snow. They gather in large flocks of as many as several million birds, and fly up to 50 miles each day from the roost to foraging grounds. For red-winged blackbirds in the Great Lakes region, this generally means about a 700-mile trip. That’s not far in comparison to our “neotropical” migrants like hummingbirds, flycatchers, thrushes, and warblers who fly thousands of miles to overwinter in Central and South America. Those birds are nectar or insect specialists, and can’t eke out a winter survival on seeds alone. One advantage that staying in the neighborhood gives red-winged blackbirds is that they have a better idea of how this particular spring is progressing, and can

adjust their migration schedule based on weather. Neotropical migrants have no way to tell that spring is coming early in the north, so they stick to more stable cues—like day length—to decide when to migrate. Weather still affects their progress, since a winter storm or unfavorable winds can cause a delay, but their timing tends to be more consistent. Red-winged blackbird males overwinter even closer to home than the females, because they have good reason to get back north as early as possible. The first male often gets the best territory, and it’s their gloom-piercing call that seals the deal. Belligerent males display in a “song spread” that includes fluffing up feathers, spreading

their tail, raising their shoulders, and flashing their red epaulets, all while singing at the top of their lungs. We may appreciate this colorful performance, but it is not friendly, and it is not for us. While the flocks of males currently foraging in yards and under bird feeders are not on territories yet, they’re already singing loudly—warming up for the big show. Drab, brown females will follow later, after insects begin to hatch. The ladies need a high-protein, high-calcium diet to prepare for egg laying, and have no reason to risk getting caught in a blizzard. Once they arrive, females will choose a male’s territory, and set up a smaller territory within it. As many as 15 females might nest

in a single male’s territory, but the average is five. Nests are built low to the ground, and are suspended among some upright stems of marsh plants. Females wind stringy plant material, wet leaves, and decayed wood into a bowl, and then line it with soft, dry grass. This habitat requires a couple special adaptations. The most visible is the brown-streaked plumage of the females— perfect for staying camouflaged in the thickets. Those feathers are also extra sturdy, because living among rough cattail stems could result in undue wear and tear. In addition, both sexes have sturdy leg muscles that allow them to perch with each foot on a different cattail and do the splits. Red-winged blackbirds also have long digestive tracks, which allow them to eat a wide variety of foods. In the summer, though, when their diet focuses on insects, their gizzards will shrink, only to get more muscular again when late summer seeds become ripe. Late summer seems worlds away, though, as snow falls in the mud puddles and weed seeds get re-buried. The migrating flocks of redwinged blackbirds must be on the move again, looking for spring. When they find it, we can be sure they’ll sing a ringing “konk-la-ree” to let us know.

Pirates edge by Unity for ﬁrst win BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—“I think Unity and Grantsburg have basically the same team right now, as indicated by the tie at the end of seven innings. It was nice to be able to pick up the win,” said Coach Pete Johnson following the eight inning win over the Eagles 6-3 Monday night. “Tonight, everyone did a little something to help us win.” Grantsburg went up 1-0 in the third inning when Austin Casey got on via an error. He moved around on a sacrifice

and came home on a ground out. Unity scored a single run in the fourth to knot the score. The Pirates put two across in the fifth. Both Casey and Jase Quimby got on and moved up on a single by Luke Anderson. A sacrifice and a single by Jackson Gerber and Dakota Schultz respectively scored them. Unity again scored single runs in the fifth and six to tie the score at three. It remained that way until the eighth when Schultz was hit by a pitch, Bubba Bowman walked and Zach Tebow

got on via a fielder’s choice. Brett Anderson walked, Jacob Barnard grounded out, Austin Casey walked and Luke Anderson was hit by a pitch. The Pirates held the Eagles to no runs in the bottom of the eighth for the win. “Our secret weapon was deployed tonight. Jackson (Gerber) came in to pitch his first varsity game and picked up the win.” “Unity had good infield play and we had zero fly-ball outs tonight. I don’t remember the last time that has happened,” concluded the coach.

Tigers edged by Saints BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ST CROIX FALLS—On a cold, wet, windy night in St. Croix Falls, the Saints edged the Webster Tigers 7-6. The Tigers got into a hole once again by allowing the Saints two runs in each of the first two innings. Behind 4-0, the Tigers came back in the top of the third. Walks by Frank DeBlase and Austin Spafford put runners on first and second. An error by the Saints right fielder scored DeBlase. Trevor Gustafson was hit by a pitch and Taran Wols hit a run scoring single. St. Croix added two more in their half of the third, regaining a four run lead. In the top of the fourth, the Tigers scored one run. Jack Washburn walked. Two batters later, DeBlase got on board via an error, moving Washburn to third. Washburn scored on a single by Spafford. GLEN SKIFSTAD | SENTINEL St. Croix scored one in the bottom of the fourth to Webster’s Taran Wol attempts to put the tag on the Saints’ Tyler Henk. make it a 7-3 contest. In inning five, Taran Wols walked, moved to second on Paul Sargent’s single. Jordy Larson also singled. Washburn got Wols home and then Brad Sigfrids singled home two more runs. Webster held the Saints scoreless in the bottom of the fifth, mowing them down one-two-three. Neither team scored in the sixth inning. In the seventh inning, with two out, Brad Sigfrids walked but was left stranded at first on a flyout to left field to end the game. “We compete well,” said Tiger coach Jarrod Washburn. “We’re never going to give up. We’re going to play to the last out.” “We have to stop making a hole for ourselves at the beginning of the game. We made some costly mistakes and it cost us at least three runs (today).” “Offensively, we put some good at bats together against one of the best pitchers in the conference, so that’s encouraging. We’ll just go on from there.”

BALSAM LAKE—The Grantsburg Pirates got their second win of the young season in a four inning contest, defeating the Unity Eagles 20-0. Olivia Tucker pitched three innings, recording nine strikeouts, allowing no hits and no walks. Alaina Oachs hurled the final inning, getting two strikeouts.

ST. CROIX FALLS—“This was the first time on an actual field,” commented Webster-Siren softball coach Ashley Close as the Storm lost to the St. Croix Falls Saints 10-0 in a five inning game last Thursday. No stats were available at press time. “We have a wide variety of kids, some with experience and some with none,” she continued. “Our team dynamics are good. The new players each offer something different. We just need to find it and we’re working on that.” “This is a good squad,” she concluded. “These are some awesome kids.” GOOB COY| SENTINEL

Pirates blank Blackhawks BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALDWIN-WOODVILLE—Olivia Tucker hit three home runs and also pitched a five-inning, one-hit, shutout game that gave the Grantsburg Pirates a 12-0 win over the Baldwin-Woodville Blackhawks Thursday night. “Today was cold... it was wet,” commented assistant coach Steve Johnson.” Nobody really expected to have a game, but the weather held and we headed towards Baldwin. Baldwin had won their first game 25-0 over Spring Valley. We had never beat Baldwin… ever.” Grantsburg was the visiting team and batted first. Tucker promptly ripped a shot to left for a game- and season-starting single. The next three batters could not advance her, but everybody put the ball into play. “Livi (Tucker) came out with some heavy heat on a cool night and struck out the lead off batter. After a soft liner to Livi and another strikeout, the inning was over,” reported Coach Johnson.

With one out, Megan Miller battled the pitcher to a full count and laced a single to center. Britta Roufs bunted her to second, but a ground-out ended the inning.” “Livi was on fire and struck out all three in the Baldwin second.” With one out, Tucker lined a home run to left putting the Pirates on the scoreboard. “It was 1-0 going into the bottom of the third, and Tucker mowed down the numbers seven, eight and nine batters rather quickly.” “The fourth inning was the dagger,” said the coach. “Jordyn McKenzie started the inning with a single to left. Briena Jensen then was hit by a pitch. After Megan Miller popped out, Britta Roufs hit her first single up the middle scoring McKenzie. Maddie Duncan then played ‘croquet’ and hit it through the hoops of the shortstop, scoring Miller. To the astonishment of the Baldwin fan club, they walked our number nine batter, loading the bases for Tucker. It didn’t take long as Livi launched one over the center field fence for a grand slam. Baldwin began to wilt even though they were at

the top of the lineup… fly to left, strike out, strike out. Four innings were done; 6-0 Grantsburg.” “The fifth brought six more runs. Cassidy Quimby singled to start the inning. Briena Jensen had a double. Britta Roufs picked up hit number two and Claire Palmquist walked. “Livi came to the plate and with one mighty swing, Livi not only hit it out of the fast pitch field, but out of the slow pitch field and into the swamp. It was a massive moon shot. It was also the first time one of our players had hit three home runs in one game.” Baldwin did manage one hit and a walk in the bottom of the fifth. Grantsburg ended the game with 12 runs on 10 hits, two walks, and one hit batsman. “We would strike out only twice. There was no rain during the game and all was well.” “It was just one of those nights,” concluded the coach. “Tonight, everything went our way. Perhaps, next time they will beat us. That is how the game of fast pitch goes. It is really fun when things go our way.”

won Wisconsin on Tuesday by 13 points over Trump. Walker’s approval rating is above 80 percent among Wisconsin Republicans, nearly double what it is among all residents. Trump criticized Walker’s record while campaigning in Wisconsin. Walker says like going after his record, attacking Rodgers or Favre “just would not have worked.’’

harm native fish populations, said Bob Wakeman, the agency’s aquatic invasive species coordinator. The spiny waterflea arrived in Lake Michigan in 1986 and turned up in the Madison lakes of Mendota and Waubesa in 2009, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. The tiny organism now inhabits at least 22 waterways in Wisconsin. Like many other aquatic invasive species, the spiny waterflea is believed to have entered the Great Lakes in ballast tanks of freighters from European ports, and then transported, often unwittingly, to inland lakes via the hulls of boats, bilge tanks and bait buckets. There are 37 types of invasive species in inland lakes, according to the department. Some of the state’s lakes have been untouched, while others are plagued with foreign species that could threaten their ecosystem. The state Department of Natural Resources spends about $4 million annually on various efforts to control the spread of invasive species in inland lakes. In recent years, the number of new invasive species has leveled off, Wakeman said.

Wisconsin’s Walker compares himself to Packers greats MADISON (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker is feeling so good about the role he played in Ted Cruz’s victory in Wisconsin that he’s comparing himself to two of the greatest quarterbacks in Green Bay Packers’ history. Walker says Donald Trump’s decision to attack his record as governor is like someone going to Lambeau Field and “taking a whack” at Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers or retired great Brett Favre. The Republican governor was commenting Wednesday in an interview on Milwaukee’s WTMJ radio. Cruz

Badgers to hold practice in Green Bay ahead of Lambeau game GREEN BAY (AP) — The University of Wisconsin football team will practice in Green Bay before playing LSU in the Carmex Lambeau Field College Classic in September. The Badgers said Wednesday they will practice inside the Don Hutson Center on April 2. After practice, the team will tour Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame. Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst says he’s excited for his players. He calls Lambeau Field “one of the great places in our sport.” The Badgers’ practice will be open to the media, and Chryst will be available at the end of the session. Wisconsin opens the season against LSU on the Packers’ home field Sept. 3. It will be the fourth college football game to be played at Lambeau and the first in more than 30 years. Study highlights cost of battling aquatic invasive species MILWAUKEE (AP) — A new study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison highlights the hefty cost of controlling aquatic invasive species in the state’s lakes. The study found that the estimated cost of controlling a single invasive species, the spiny waterflea, in just one lake could range from $86.5 million to $163 million over 20 years. Researchers believe study’s results show that a broader measure of the costs of controlling aquatic invasive species should be taken into account. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources helped fund the study because officials want to know more about the spiny waterflea and its potential to

Walker signs bill outlawing hunter harassment ROTHSCHILD, WI (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker has signed a bill prohibiting people from bothering hunters in the Wisconsin woods. Walker signed the bill Saturday at the Wisconsin Bear Hunters’ Association’s 52nd annual convention in Rothschild. In a statement, Walker calls hunting, fishing and trapping “major pastimes’’ in Wisconsin, and says the bill provides hunters with “additional protections from interference.’’ The bill’s Republican authors say concerns about hunter harassment have grown since the Wolf Patrol, a group of animal rights activists, followed and filmed wolf hunters in Wisconsin and Montana in 2014. The bill expands the definition of interference with a hunter to include remaining in a hunter’s sight and photographing or confronting a hunter more than twice with the intention to interfere.

Teeing it up in Webster BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—Unlike in its heyday when Webster had as many as 20 golfers out for the team, the 2016 Tigers bring four to the table and had to co-op with Siren to gets its fifth golfer. “I think we have to have five golfers to be considered a ‘legal’ team by WIAA standards,” coach Mathew Wood explained. “When there are five players playing, the highest score gets dropped so I think we can play with four but that means everyone’s score would count.” But Wood isn’t taking any chances. “I told the guys they had to be pretty committed to playing,” he reported. “I told them if they were sick they’d have to play through because we don’t have the numbers to allow for substitutes.” There is at least one up-side to only having five golfers. “Like I told the kids the first day of practice, ‘Congratulations, you made the varsity golf squad,’” Wood said with a laugh. Wood said his seniors, who haven’t had a chance to play competitive golf during their high school career, were somewhat instrumental in making it happen this year. “Tate (Fohrenkamm) really took charge to get us a golf team,” he pointed out. With four of the five members playing as seniors, Wood hopes for a successful campaign to, if nothing else, get some younger kids interested in the game of golf. Being a Webster High School teacher, Wood is fortunate in that he knows four of his five players. “Alexi (Gloodt) is a pretty outgoing guy,” the coach admitted. “It didn’t take him too long to warm up to our group of guys — he came in on Tuesday, shook hands with ev-

eryone, asked how it was going and that pretty much took care of it.” “Plus, Gloodt and Fohrenkamm have played golf together the past few years so at least those two knew each other,” Wood continued. As far as coaching goes, Wood explained that there is a skill gap between his anticipated No. 1 golfer and his No. 5 golfer. “I’ll work on strategy with some of the golfers and swing mechanics and other golf fundamentals with others,” he reported. “Right now it’s a lot of range work, although the first day of practice was gorgeous so we got nine holes in — just to get the rust off.” The coach is already seeing improvement. “We’ve set goals for ourselves and will strive to reach them throughout the season,” Wood commented. “All the guys have different goals — but I’m hopeful everyone can improve their game.” Wood played golf while at

UW-Barron County. “I wasn’t the best golfer but I had a great experience there,” he exclaimed. “The golf coach worked with me almost everyday on my swing.” It is an experience he sees enabling him to understand his golfers. “Golf is one of the most frustrating sports there is, so when I see one of my kids have a bad shot, I can say I’ve been there,” Wood extolled. “Hopefully, I can coach them to get past it, because if they keep thinking about a bad shot, things tend to snowball — they have got to keep a level head.” While the team chemistry is as good as can be expected, travel hasn’t been as smooth. “With a co-op, it’s always an issue of us going to Siren, or Alexi coming up here,” the coach said. The team gets to play on three of the better courses in the area. “The WIAA rules state we can have three ‘home’ courses and those are Siren National, Voyager Village and Frederic,” Wood remarked.“Both Siren and Voyager have opened their courses for us to practice — hats off to them for their support.” He said those two courses fit his team pretty well. “We are pretty diverse from our No. 1 golfer to our No. 5 golfer, so these courses can offer different challenges,” Wood noted. The team’s first meet, weather-permitting, is slated for April 14 in Clear Lake, who is new to the conference this year. Then comes an invitational meet in Baldwin-Woodville and then the team moves into conference play. “I hope we can compete with the other teams in the conference,” Wood noted. “I know a couple of our guys are hoping for a chance to knock off Grantsburg’s Jordan Knutson.”

Grantsburg teacher to run in Boston Marathon BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG–Andrea Nightengale of Grantsburg is thrilled to be heading for Boston after qualifying to race in the 120th running of the Boston Marathon on Monday. She will be among 30,000 runners. Forecasters are predicting ideal running weather for Boston, with 50 degrees at the start of the race and low 60s in the afternoon, cloudy skies but no rain. Andrea is “Ms. Nightengale” to a group of excited first graders who will be cheering her on. She qualified for the race by submitting official results from other marathons. “It depends on your gender and age,” Nightengale explained. “My age group is 18-34, and the qualifying time for a female in that age group must be better than 3 hours and 35 minutes.” She met that goal by seven minutes. “My personal best of 3:28,” she continued. “I have qualified for Boston twice, both at Grandma’s Marathon. My goal is to get a 3:20 in this year’s Grandma’s. “My life goal is to run a half marathon or a full marathon in every state — so far I’ve only raced in only six states.” If that makes it sound like she hasn’t been racing long, she hasn’t. “I didn’t start running until the summer of 2011, when a friend asked me to run the Freedom 5K in Siren,” Nightengale admitted. “I was skeptical and hated running, but I signed up.” To say her participation in the event was a surprise is an understatement. “I loved the feeling of accomplishment that I got when I was

finished,” she remarked. “That summer, I started running a little bit more but never at any real distance. The following spring and summer I signed up for a couple longer races, a 10-miler and a half marathon.” She ran her first marathon, the Twin Cities Marathon, in the fall of 2012. Since then she has run five more — three Grandma’s Marathons in Duluth, The Las Vegas Marathon, and the Chicago Marathon. Quite a change for someone who hated running. “I found that running just came naturally to me,” Nightengale exclaimed. A lot of training goes into being able to run 26 miles competitively. “I usually follow some sort of running plan that involves running 30-40 miles per week,” she said. “I also do some strength training and I like to try to do spin

or bike twice a week.” Continuing to train in the winter forces her indoors quite a bit. “This winter I spent a ton of time on the treadmill since I am a baby to the cold weather,” Nightengale noted. “My longest treadmill run has been 16 miles — to keep myself sane on the treadmill, I usually use a combo of Netflix and music. She would like to say she follows a healthy, wonderful diet but admits she doesn’t. “I try to eat semi-healthy during the week, but I have a huge sweet tooth — the weekends usually become a free for all,” she said with a laugh. As far as her pre-marathon routine on race day, she usually eats a bowl of oatmeal with a banana and drink a Gatorade and a coffee. “About 30 minutes before the race begins, I like to have a little fuel,” Nightengale pointed out. “Throughout the race I alternate Gatorade and water at each water stop, and I usually also take a couple GU (energy gels).” She has also been known to fuel with Swedish Fish, Scooby Doo fruit snacks, and Jolly Ranchers. Back to the upcoming Boston experience. “My goal is to simply finish. I want to take it all in and just enjoy the experience,” she exclaimed. “I am traveling with my parents and my sister, and we are excited to explore the city of Boston.” Nightengale’s hometown is Inver Grove Heights, MN. She graduated from Simley High School and attended Concordia University in Saint Paul for elementary education. “I started teaching first grade at Grantsburg Elementary last year — the 2014-2015 school year,” she concluded.

OUTDOORS BRIEFING

UW-Madison celebrates $35M contract for South Pole project MADISON, Wis. (AP) — University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists monitoring a neutrino telescope at the South Pole are celebrating a $35 million commitment from the National Science Foundation to keep the project going for five more years. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that the telescope, known as IceCube, has been recording space phenomena for the past 15 years with its 5,000 optical sensors buried a mile beneath the frozen South Pole. The funding comes from the National Science Foundations’ Division of Polar Programs and Division of Physics. The foundation’s U.S. Antarctic Program supports researchers at universities across the country and provides infrastructure to support the researchers in the field.

Walker signs bill pushing back wolf seasons if they resume ROTHSCHILD, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has signed a bill that would push back the start of Wisconsin’s wolf hunting and trapping season if the federal government allows it to resume. The bill changes the season opener from Oct. 15 until the first Saturday in November. Walker signed the bill Tuesday at the Chase Outdoors store in Rothschild. He says it will prevent conflicts with other hunting seasons in Wisconsin and produce better pelts. Wisconsin held three wolf seasons before a federal judge placed Great Lakes wolves back on the endangered list in 2014. Some members of Congress, including Reid Ribble of Wisconsin, have been pushing legislation to undo the court decision, which Wisconsin and other states are appealing. The wolf population in the western Great Lakes region is estimated at 3,700

Wisconsin DNR imports more Kentucky elk MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state Department of Natural Resources has imported more elk from Kentucky in hopes of building a Jackson County herd. Gov. Scott Walker’s office announced Wednesday that the DNR has brought 39 elk to Black River Falls. The animals will be quarantined in a holding pen in the Black River State Forest before they’re released this summer. Wisconsin has had only one elk herd near Clam Lake for two decades. The DNR has brokered a fiveyear deal with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife to import 150 animals from that state to bolster the Clam Lake herd and establish a second herd in Jackson County. The DNR released an inaugural herd in Jackson County last year.

NOVEL IDEAS Guest review by Bill Schwab, MO Books blogger Jon Meacham, one of my favorite authors, has written a far-reaching, nearly exhaustive biography of President George H.W. Bush. At 836 pages, “Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush” is a real door stopper, but worth reading every page. In this ground-breaking chronicle of the 41st president, Meacham draws on nine years of face-to-face interviews (2006-2015) with Bush and his wife, Barbara, full access to their personal diaries and the opportunity to talk freely with family members and friends. Meacham delves into thousands of government documents to gather facts and substantiate major events during H.W.’s presidency. He logs the thoughts and decisions of Bush as the executive addresses the openings for change made possible by the end of the Cold War and the sobering challenges caused by U.S. engagement in the first Gulf War. George H.W. Bush was born to privilege. He served heroically in the Navy during World War II, married at a young age and soon began a career exploring for Texas oil. He became involved in Republican politics, won local offices and eventually served two terms in Congress. Under Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford he served as ambassador to the United Nations and was chosen Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In 1980, he became Ronald Reagan’s vice president and finally was elected president in 1988. The abundance of photographs (many in color) depict Bush meeting with important world leaders, including Mikhail Gorbachev, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and Margaret Thatcher. He also is pictured with national figures Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton and others of the era. Diary quotes add to the portraits of Bush negotiating with these important world and national leaders. Of local interest, there is a photograph of Washingtonian Harold Wilke standing by Bush during the signing of the landmark American with Disabilities Act in July 1990. * * * * * * * The cover as enticing as the title, I couldn’t wait to

start “The Japanese Lover,” by Isabel Allende. The novel opens in Lark House, a senior residence in San Francisco founded to “offer shelter with dignity to elderly persons of slender means.” The facility drew “left wing intellectuals, oddballs and second-rate artists,” and “was more like a college than an old people’s home.” Into this soup of humanity, Allende drops her two main characters, Irina Bazili, a newly hired employee, and Alma Belasco, a wealthy resident, whose late husband’s family founded Lark House. Both women harbor secrets that Allende hints at as she moves forward and back in time revealing their stories. Irina, born in Moldavia, is a slight person who tries not to call attention to herself. She is drawn to “aristocratic” and artistic Alma, and vice versa. When Alma offers Irina the opportunity to be her secretary, Irina accepts and the women, though much different in age, become close friends. The beginning chapters detail some of the residents at Lark House and their escapades, stock characters, like Jacques Devine, “the star attraction.” Allende writes about how hungry for sex and touch the seniors are. It seemed a tired stereotype. Thankfully, I didn’t set the book aside because the novel captivates once it gets going. Alma’s past in Poland is disclosed, the horrors her Jewish family are subjected to with the Nazi invasion. To ensure her safety, Alma’s father sends her to America to live with his brother and family. It’s there that she forms lasting bonds with Nathaniel Belasco, her cousin, who she eventually marries, and Ichimei Fukuda, the son of the Belasco’s gardener. Ichi’s history also is revealed, the years his family spent in a Japanese interment camp during World War II, heartbreaking in its detail. “The Japanese Lover” might lurch at first, but it ends beautifully, Allende wraps up all the narrative threads, and interjects a surprise that “wows,” one that had me returning to the text for a reread so all the plot puzzle pieces would be clear. “Pretty brilliant,” I said once I closed the cover — literary fiction at its best.

* * * * * * On Sept. 2, 2013, a news story captured the world’s attention. At age 64, marathon swimmer Diane Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Key West, Fla., without the aid of a shark cage. In 52 hours and 53 minutes Nyad swam 110.86 miles, enduring incredible hardships to reach her personal “Mount Everest.” Nyad’s memoir, “Find a Way” details her life’s journey, and the philosophy that kept her dream afloat, “Never, ever give up,” a mantra she lives by. In her book, she urges others to follow her path, and not allow advancing age to throw up roadblocks, or negativity from naysayers to douse the fire of the human spirit. It’s this spirit, combined with perseverance, courage and support from her Xtreme Dream Team, that allowed Nyad to accomplish a goal that nearly escaped her, one she first attempted while in her 30s, but put aside for more than 30 years as she pursued a career in journalistic broadcasting. At age 60, Nyad made up her mind to complete the swim she’d always wanted to achieve. In total it took her five tries, her 2011 Cuban swim nearly taking her life when she encountered box jellyfish, only the size of a sugar cube, their stings are usually fatal. “Find a Way” is the heroic story of an athlete rising above odds that would have stymied those less strong. Victimized by her charismatic father, young Nyad withstood years of sexual abuse from him. Later, Nyad was again victimized, this time by her swimming coach, a man she trusted. To her credit, Nyad refused to allow childhood abuse to upend her. While “Find a Way” is inspirational, it’s overlong and at times Nyad, never one to mince words, comes off as too self-assured. The memoir is most interesting when Nyad delves into her past, and details the rigors of being a marathon ocean swimmer, how she trained, and the ordeals she withstood to accomplish her dream.

Pastor Brad Moore Grace Baptist Church

Wisconsin voters had an opportunity recently to vote in the Spring elections on April 5. Regardless of how you feel about the candidates or politics in general, it is a tangible way to take part in our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s democratic process. I could simply dismiss the whole thing. I could just say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;my vote doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter anyway.â&#x20AC;? On the other hand, I must consider that voting is both a privilege and responsibility I have as a U.S. Citizen. There is real value in engaging in the voting process, both for me and the community I live in. You will
