Theft charges ﬁled in Bethany Lutheran case SIREN—A summons was issued Tuesday for a Grantsburg woman to answer to three counts of theft from a business setting in excess of $10,000. According to the criminal complaint filed by the district attorney’s office, Dorothy A. White, 61, formerly employed as treasurer for the church, allegedly wrote checks to herself, in the amount of $83,000, without authorization. In an interview with the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department in January, White admitted to having a gambling problem. She said she first started taking money from the church in 2013 to cover some personal bills, but then used the money to gamble. The funds were taken from the church’s checking account, the church’s savings account as well as a mission investment fund. An initial apperance for White has been set for 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Mar. 23. Each count, each a Class G Felony, is punishable by a fine of not more than $25,000, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

GRANTSBURG —Listening to Z.Z. Top during communion, listening to a pastor with a pink mohawk, sitting in love seats and couches instead of pews and gathering in a former chicken barn for Sunday service might not be the traditional church experience but in a nutshell its what Chicken Coop Church brings to the table. The first question has got to be the

mohawk. “I did it once to have fun a couple years ago,” Pastor Peter Johnson admitted. “I liked it and it has stayed. It’s actually taken on a life of its own and is now what I’m known for.” There’s no doubt it’s a conversation piece. Before getting into ministry, Johnson had been in pavement maintenance/road construction but there’d always been a calling to serve —

SIREN—Bicycle enthusiasts have a reason to rejoice after the Lake Country Pedalers bicycle club petitioned the county’s natural resources committee to allow them to create a bicycle trail in the Kizer Lake Wildlife Area. “The first year we’d like to create almost three miles of trail and add two primitive campsites,” Bill Summer, club member and proprietor of the Cog and Sprocket Bike Shop in Webster, told committee members. “Our four year plan includes creating two to three more miles of trail each year and adding two primitive campsites.”

Millions at stake in tax intercept plan BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Border counties like Burnett County in Wisconsin are on the short end of the stick when it comes to unpaid circuit court fines owed by out-of-state residents. “Just between Douglas, St. Croix and Burnett counties, there is something like $2.3 million in unpaid fines,” Trudy Schmidt, clerk of court, lamented to the county’s public safety committee meeting earlier in the month. Wisconsin already has a tax intercept program in place, so if a Wisconsin resident who files a tax return owes money to Burnett County in the way of an unpaid fine, whatever refund is “intercepted” and used to pay off the debt. The process has worked well, except for visitors from across the river. “There is over $160,000 in fines owed to this county by Minnesota residents,” Schmidt continued. An agreement was worked out between the states allowing Wisconsin court clerks to intercept Minnesota tax returns, but the process was not very user-friendly. “I kept ‘hitting a wall’ every time I tried,” Schmidt pointed out. “But, I finally got stepby-step instructions from a clerk in Ozaukee County for getting tax intercept money from Minnesota residents — unfortunately, I think I missed the bulk of the 2015 filing season.” She also changed the wording of her ‘warnings’ to residents owing the court money and continues to include a copy of what their warrant would look like if they failed to pay. “About half the people who owed have paid in full,” she concluded.

K-9 update Sheriff Ron Wilhelm is working with the Northwest Alliance Foundation and the St. Croix Valley Foundation on ways to fund a K-9 program without relying on taxpayers. “The St. Croix Valley Foundation gave a talk I attended about how there is no burden on the taxpayers of St. Croix County for its K-9 program,” he explained. “Our goal in Burnett County is to do it like St. Croix County has.” To date, the sheriff’s office has received donations of roughly $3,500 for a K-9 program. “We haven’t even solicited funds yet,” the sheriff exclaimed. An existing deputy will be chosen to be the K-9 officer and the dog will be a narcotics-dog. “This as a positive thing,” the sheriff said. More details will be released at a committee of the whole meeting on March 31. In other business: • When questioned about a possible electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) as part of a terrorist attack, Rhonda Reynolds, emergency management director, said it could be treated to a long-term power outage. “We’d want to ensure people could survive off-the-grid without turning to the government for help,” she opined. • In her quest to develop a tactical plan for the county, Reynolds has already found the beginnings of one. ”The fire departments are already moving toward developing plans whereby they can communicate with one another,” she reported. • Reynolds announced Skywarn Spotter Training is slated for Tuesday, April 5 at 6 p.m. in room 165 of the Burnett County Government Center.

MARCH 16, 2016

Doing the right thing When I got into this business, I quickly learned when dealing with any of my contacts, whether it was on the phone, in a roomful of people who were immersed in a meeting or a face-to-face interview, I was better served if my go-to response was to treat them with respect, honor and dignity. Sure, I may have missed a “ripped-from-the-headlines” story here or there, but there’s a price to pay for that “get-it-at-all-costs” type of persistence. That kind of sensationalism might be “all that and a bag of chips” in Washington D.C. or New York City but I don’t think Seems to it flies in small town America. Being the only newspaper Me outlet in the county, the Sentican’t afford to burn bridges Todd Beckmann nel — otherwise, it would get to the point where no one would talk with us and we’d end up with no news to print. That said, I’ll be the first to admit I’ve burned a few bridges while I’ve been on staff here, but I would hazard a guess of 97 percent of the time, I’ve done the right thing by way of my contacts. Whether I talk to Patrice Bjorklund, the Webster Village clerk, to get an answer from that month’s village board meeting, Chris Sybers, chief of police in Siren, to expound on some criminal activity in the village or Kristina Kelley-Johnson, Grantsburg Library director, to delve into the usage of the new library addition, they talk to me. It might not seem like a big deal, but without that give-and-take with each and every contact, I might as well be digging ditches for a career. Two incidents this week really brought the issue to the forefront. The paper is publishing its Gems and Jewels section next week, and one of the stories I am working on is the quality of water in our lakes — the how and why it draws residents, part-time residents and tourists alike. In the midst of interviewing several folks for my story, I stop at Burnett County Surveyor/ Land Information office and talk with Tracy Klatt. I tell her what I’m doing, story-wise, and that I was looking for a picture of all the lakes and rivers in the county. Fifteen minutes later, she had emailed me exactly what I wanted — an outlined map of the county with all of its lakes and rivers. I’m thinking that map is good, but wouldn’t an aerial picture of a lake or lakes be even better? When I get back to the office, I email a pilot I know, Dave Basten, and tell him what I’m doing for a story, what I’m looking for picture-wise, and whether he’s taken any aerial photos I could use. The next day I get his reply and he said he doesn’t have any pictures like that but he would gladly take me flying so I could get my own aerial pictures — wow, what a magnanimous offer. I guess Grandma was right — you can capture more flies with honey rather than vinegar.

Don’t pinch me Thursday is St. Patrick’s Day, a day to celebrate the Irish and their contributions to society. For some, it’s an excuse to get drunk. For others, it’s a day to celebrate their Irish heritage and the imminent arrival of spring. If you’re a kid, (at least when I was a kid) it’s a day to ensure you are wearing green to avoid being pinched. I am 25 percent Irish. My maternal great-great-grandFrom the father McGrath Publisher’s emigrated to Canada in the 1800s. Desk His grandchildren eventually made Tom Stangl their way to America and settled in Iowa. My remaining “mix” of ethnicity includes German, Russian and Austrian. I am among the 34 million U.S. residents who claim Irish ancestry. This number is almost nine times the population of Ireland itself (3.9 million). Irish is the nation’s second most frequently reported ancestry, trailing only German. According to figures from the U.S. Census, a total of 4.8 million immigrants from Ireland have been admitted to the U.S. for lawful permanent residence since fiscal year 1820, the earliest year for

which official immigration records exist. By fiscal year 1870, about half of these immigrants were admitted for lawful permanent residence. Only Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Mexico have had more immigrants admitted for permanent residence to the United States than Ireland. When I think of my Irish heritage, I think of my Grandpa Dan McGrath, who passed away in 1968 when I was eight years old. Grandpa Dan was a gruff but lovable man who played “go fish” with me. He always had a bowl of lemon drops, malted milk balls or chocolate stars that my siblings and I always were free to overindulge in. Grandpa Dan was ahead of his time in grandparenting, pioneering the “get them hyped up on sugar and send them home to their parents” method. My parents employed the same technique with my daughters, and I have been guilty (to a much lesser degree) of the same transgression. It’s what we do as grandparents. Grandpa Dan had a rather acerbic wit, often making funny, but biting observations. As a child, most of these comments were over my head. One of these comments which has passed into family legend is the time a bunch of my cousins were outside playing and came in to have some Pepsi or Squirt (more of that sugar thing).

Subtlety is not the strong suit of children, and my cousin Kelly came in and said “boy, I sure am thirsty.” Grandpa Dan, knowing full well that we wanted pop, replied “There’s the sink and all the cold water you want — help yourself.” Kelly, with righteous indignation responded “I’m not that damn thirsty!” and stormed outside. My mother told me that Grandpa Dan nearly swallowed his cigar with laughter. You can count on seeing John Ford’s 1952 tribute to Ireland, “The Quiet Man” starring John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Barry Fitzgerald and Victor McLaglen on television at least once this week. Wayne plays a prizefighter who returns to the place of his birth after killing a man in the ring. It’s a charming film with beautiful scenery and fine character acting. When I imagine Ireland, it’s “The Quiet Man” I see. I hope to visit the country someday, maybe find my cousins. But for now, I’ll just enjoy the lush green and remind myself that it will soon be green here as well. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! As always, I welcome your comments.

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.

EARTH NOTES

GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe

Zero waste tables available for people to organize their items, perhaps by size or subject. Donate all unclaimed items.

BY: JEN BARTON RECYCLING CONTROL COMMISSION

It is hard to imagine, but for a minute close your eyes and think about the phrase “Zero Waste.” What are you seeing? A world where you have no garbage pick-up? I realize it is a hard concept to visualize; however, below I am going to propose a few ideas for you to think about and possibly implement in your own lives. Consider this: The average person generates 4.4 pounds of waste each day. Of that waste, a mere 1.5 pounds is recycled or composted. Nationally, that means that 185 million tons of waste is disposed of each year. There is a tremendous opportunity here to re-purpose, reduce, and reuse, and recycle (when needed) much of what is ending up in our landfills. You heard that right – recycle only when needed. Consider other options before recycling. It is better for the environment, and in most cases your wallet too! There are some inspiring examples of individuals and families who have achieved some dramatic results. Follow these tips for getting started on a zero waste lifestyle.

Use Freecycle or Craigslist Sites like Craigslist, Ebay, or Facebook are great ways to connect with like-minded people trying to reduce their environmental and waste footprint. I frequently buy items used. When I no longer need them, I resell them on Craigslist, eBay, or through resale groups on Facebook. It is a good way to save money, while also reducing waste. Listings with pictures typically get a better response. Re-list the item if it doesn’t sell within a week or so to keep the listing fresh. Whenever possible, provide detailed information, such as dimensions, brand, or the model number. For low-value items, consider listing them as free on Freecycle or Craiglist. Many items that people typically recycle or throw away can be of use, such as cardboard moving boxes, worn-out furniture, or broken items. To save time, you can merely leave the item in front of your home (most avid Earth Notes readers know I do this all the time) and create a listing with its location and sign saying it “Free.” Remember to delete the listing when the item is claimed.

Refuse unnecessary items Because we live in a wasteful society, it is easy to bring many unneeded things home. Promotional fliers, junky kids toys, excessive packaging, and product samples are often freely given out. Although some of these things may be useful, many end up gathering dust, break almost immediately, or are quickly disposed of. Avoid bringing unneeded items into your home by refusing them at the source.

Set-up a lending network with friends Do you have a group of friends or colleagues that share your passion for saving resources and money? Do you only use your ice skates, tent, and rototiller infrequently? You can create listings for what you are willing to share or perhaps rent to people, and expectations. You can, for example, request that people return your lawnmower with a full tank of gas or that they wash your sleeping bag after use.

Embrace the ‘free’ movement Many items that you do not need may be of value to someone else. Some local communities have embraced the “free” movement and have systems in place to promote sharing, such as free piles or swaps. A great place to find interesting and useful items may just be at your local transfer station. Those working at transfer stations/dumps are very often the best promoters of re-use, as they see on a daily basis how wasteful people really are. The Little Free Library movement encourages neighborhood literacy and resource conservation through free book exchanges. I know there is one of these little boxes outside of the Minit Mart Gas Station in Grantsburg, and I am sure others exist. If you know of others, please consider sending me an email of their location as I would like to include them in a future article. Community groups and churches can have a sharing closet, where people can swap items such as clothing or household items, and unclaimed items can then be donated. Many area churches collect new and used winter coats and offer them for free to those in need.

Start a work recycling program or compost pile Is everything possible recycled at work? Is there space for a compost pile? Offices and work sites can be a great place to initiate recycling or composting programs. If possible, find a couple inspired coworkers to join you in the project, helping to spread the word and create and maintain.

Recycle clothing Did you know that clothing is nearly 100 percent recyclable? If your clothing is too worn or stained to be reused, it is a good candidate for recycling. Many thrift shops will recycle clothing items that are not fit for resale, so donate it or make rags from it instead of putting it in the trash. Organize a swap Do you have clothes that no longer fit or have become unappealing? Do you have lots of books or toys that you no longer use? It often works best if it is organized through a group with a common interest, such as children’s playgroup, knitting circle, or hiking club because people will have a shared interest in certain types of things. Promote the event widely to make it more successful. Have

Go paperless Most banks and many companies provide paperless statements and invoices upon request. I receive all my utility bills, invoices, and bank statements digitally. This saves both paper and the energy needed to transport the document to you. It is also a great way to reduce clutter and reduce the need to empty your recycling bin. To ensure that you maintain good records, you can often download statements and save them. Just be sure to back up your computer regularly! To sign up for paperless statements, visit your online profile for a given organization and look for a paperless option, or call the institution by phone. Decline paper catalogs, junk mail Is your mailbox filled with unwanted promotions and catalogs? If so, remove yourself from mailing lists. This not only keeps your recycling bin from filling up so quickly, but also saves clutter and energy. Contact the Direct Marketing Association to register your mail preferences. This allows you to remove your name from many national telemarketing, mail, and e-mail lists. Register with the Consumer Credit Reporting Industry’s Opt-Out Program to not receive credit card and insurance offers by calling 1-888-567-8688 or register online for five years. You can also call the phone number listed on catalogs and asked to be removed from their specific mailing list, or email them. Other ideas? Please share, as I would love to hear about them.

NEWSLINE Triathlon donates to kiosk GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Adventure Triathlon is donating $1,000 to the Grantsburg Revitalization Operationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (GRO) Trail Kiosk Project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strongly believe that if more people are aware of, and experience the unique and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities Grantsburg has to offer, we will attract new businesses, new families, and new visitors who will find a reason to spend more time and resources in Grantsburg and Burnett County,â&#x20AC;? stated Alyssa Rumpel, chair of the GRO Trails Subcommittee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore, we are developing professional and attractive informational kiosks with trail maps highlighting all that the Grantsburg area has to offer.â&#x20AC;? The Adventure Triathlon was created as a way to promote the use of Grantsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resources while being active outdoors. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s triathlon race is scheduled for May 14. It includes a 19-mile bike ride from Memory Lake Park throughout Crex Meadows, a two-mile paddle in Phantom Lake, and an eight-mile run from Phantom Lake through the many trails at Memory Lake Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt it was a natural decision to donate a portion of our proceeds to GROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kiosk Project, as we are working toward the same goal of promoting the incredible amount of natural resources we have including our trails and waterways,â&#x20AC;? stated Nicki Peterson, one of the Adventure Triathlonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race directors. The kiosks have been a top priority in GROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, with the first to be constructed this year near the intersection of Highways 70 and 48/87. As more funds are raised, additional kiosk locations will be announced, with the hopes of at least two more to be located in the community. The kiosk design will be similar to ones located in St. Croix Falls, and will highlight trails used for hiking, biking, birding, skiing, snowmobiling, hunting as well as accessible waterways.

Webster takes next step in razing old school BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTERâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seemingly only a matter of time now. At issue is the future of the former school on Highway 35 in Webster. In its monthly meeting last week, the Webster Village Board authorized MSA professional Services to write an application for a Community Development Block Grant with principal forgiveness to assist in the demolition of the soon-to-be eyesore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we should get the ball rolling,â&#x20AC;? trustee Sarah Casady urged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sooner the better.â&#x20AC;? Jeff Roberts, village president, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can always turn down the grant if it gets awarded to us,â&#x20AC;? he pointed out. Initial estimates placed the worst-case scenario for the teardown at $836,000, but that included hazardous waste mitigation. A more realistic tear-down cost is $550,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are at least three other companies who want the chance to bid on this project once we know whether we get the grant,â&#x20AC;? Roberts noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the village.â&#x20AC;? The matching grant, worth about half the projected demolition cost, is a timing matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The applications are due May 27 but the award letters wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out until August,â&#x20AC;? Dave Rasmussen, MSA consultant, explained to the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if we filed for the low-to-moderate income benefit rather than the blight benefit, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have a better chance of being awarded the grant.â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen said he has been told the Department of Administration has between $4.9 million to $9 million available to award in grant money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they said last year too and they ended up having $14 million to award â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I think we can expect the same this year,â&#x20AC;? he

reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The DOA awarded 30 projects last year and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deplete their funds.â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen said because the village has an end-user, a new St. Croix Regional medical facility, should help the cause. Trustee Tim Maloney agreed with all the talk of moving forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten to the point where we are going to have to address the situation,â&#x20AC;? he opined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a group who wants to help tear down the old high school and put up a clinic that is one of the first things people see when they drive into town, why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we want to make this work?â&#x20AC;? In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ Following a razing houses discussion, the board authorized Patrice Bjorklund, village clerk, to get an opinion from the village attorney about the Robert Marsh house, another house the board would like to see razed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the house legally condemned so we are within our rights to just go in,â&#x20AC;? Jay Heyer, public works director, remarked. But better safe than sorry, the board wanted the lawyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The garage is falling down â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so that piece should be taken down,â&#x20AC;? Roberts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a health hazard.â&#x20AC;? He also wanted the house, whose back door isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even locked, secured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put a lock on it and keep the key,â&#x20AC;? Roberts instructed Mike Spafford. police chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way, if you need to go in, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have access.â&#x20AC;? In a related matter, Ken Erickson made the village aware of his interest in the recently razed Mildred Buggert property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to pay between $1,00 and $2,000 for it,â&#x20AC;? he offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pay what the village has invested in the razing process but it would be nice to get that property back on the tax roll.â&#x20AC;?

Kathy Swingle

The board had a good chuckle over that comment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The property is on the tax roll,â&#x20AC;? Roberts laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that those taxes are not being paid.â&#x20AC;? The tear-down cost the village $12,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let us do some research and we can get back to you,â&#x20AC;? Roberts reasoned. â&#x20AC;˘ With the advent of spring, the issue of junk cars around the village is becoming more and more apparent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There must be 25 that have been there all winter,â&#x20AC;? Maloney told Mike Spafford, police chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an ordinance which addresses the issue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so enforce it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making a list of those junk cars,â&#x20AC;? Spafford replied. â&#x20AC;˘ Webster resident and member of the Webster Centennial Committee, Kathy Swingle, presented the village with a new logo to be officially unveiled during Gandy Dancer Days in August. It should be noted Swingle designed the fish on the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water tower. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just designed the fish, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paint the fish on the water tower,â&#x20AC;? she quipped. Roberts presented Swingle with a proclamation detailing her efforts on the logo as well as on the committee.

CHICKEN COOP CHURCH: “Church for the unchurched’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

ever since he was a young boy. When he was 11, one of the barn cats died and he wanted to give it a funeral. “I knew my brother or any of my sisters wouldn’t attend but I knew my mom would,” Johnson explained. “When we were walking outside to get started, I told her I needed all the practice I could get for when I became a priest.” It was one of those defining moments. “It was my first recollection of being ‘Called to the Collar,’” he said. “And that memory stuck.” Flash forward to five years ago. Peter and Heidi Johnson were at Luther Park near Chetek and became associated with Living Water Lutheran Church in Cameron. “I went through a couple years of discernment with Pastor Ned Lenhart and it became clear to me it was time to pursue ordination,” he continued. Discernment or candidacy is a process of the Lutheran Church leading to seminary. “In addition to my ongoing work at the church, I’m a full time student, both online and on campus, at Luther Seminary in St. Paul,” he noted. “I should get my Masters of Divinity in two or three years.” Even though Johnson has yet to be ordained, in the eyes of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), he is an official mission developer. “The title is for those who specialize in starting or “planting” new churches, called mission starts,” he pointed out. “I did have some theological training before I planted this church.” Other than conducting services in an actual chicken coop which used to house 13,000 chickens back in the day, Johnson didn’t want a stodgy name for the church he was planting. “I didn’t want a name like ‘Holy Cross Lutheran,’ or something boring like that” he reasoned. “There’s definitely something to

be said for having a unique name.” Plus, the name of the church lends itself quite well to the various activities within the church — a men’s bible study group called the ‘Rooster Roundtable,’ a weekly dinner called ‘Soup in the Coop,’ or the Sunday School program called ‘Little Chickens.’ With several established churches in the area, Johnson knows it’s tough to draw new parishioners. “The 2010 census states over 50 percent of the population claim no religious affiliation,” he reported. “That being said, our church has always been designed to reach the ‘un-churched.’” He defines “un-churched” are those who are not participating in church on a regular basis. “We are trying to reach a demographic that’s not being reached elsewhere,” Johnson remarked. Chicken Coop Church, which just celebrated its second anniversary, boasts an average of 30 ‘Chicken-Coopers’ each Sunday for soup at 4 p.m. and worship at 5 p.m. In addition to Sunday afternoon church service, the rest of Johnson’s week is devoted to typical pastor duties. “I do a lot of one-on-one visits to build relationships outside the church, but I also spend a lot of time empowering leaders within the church for all the mission work we do,” Johnson explained. “With school thrown in there too, it’s very early in the morning to late at night — it’s a church schedule.” Mission-wise, Chicken Coop Church is involved in numerous missions to help their neighbors — maybe as many as six to 10 going on at all times. “The church has become a satellite for God’s People Serving (GPS) food distribution program,” Johnson related. “CCC also hosts and facilitates the only women’s 12-step meeting in Burnett County every

Tuesday at noon in the Coop. The program is designed for all women desiring support with ‘hurts, habits, or hangups.’” The church is also part of the Homeless and Justice Ministries Network of the ELCA — one of 25 such churches in the whole nation). Given his upbringing and his background, he believes he can relate to his parishioners very well. “I’ve had people tell me that people relate to me because I’m one of them,” Johnson said knowingly. “I think that’s because I spent so many years in the secular world and in the blue-collar world.” But it’s also because he believes he brings something to the table. “I think as a pastor you are given gifts to be an effective pastor in certain contexts,” he explained. A first-time churchgoer will not find a hymnal at the church. “We don’t sing hymns,” he stated. “For music we use recorded music and it varies from Contemporary Christian, country and classic rock.” He cordially invites people new to Grantsburg or between churches to come and try the coop. “I understand that it is intimidating for people to walk through a church door —I get that,” Johnson acknowledged. “I realize people long to go to church and have their questions about God answered but there’s an anxiety or fear of walking through that door and being judged.” He hopes and believes that’s not the case at his church. “I would say any of our regular parishioners would tell you there’s no judgment here,” he added. “It’s unpretentious, people can come and just ‘be.’” Chicken Coop Church is located on North Fork Drive north of Grantsburg. Questions can be directed to Pastor Peter Johnson at 715-566-1992.

BIKE: Lake Country Pedalers get go-ahead to work with Parks Department on trail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Fellow club member Dan Campion agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hope is to create a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;main spineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of a trail and then develop alternative trails off the main trail for different ability levels,â&#x20AC;? he realized. Summer realizes that plan calls for a lot of work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the labor for clearing trails and establishing campsites will be performed by club members and Northwest Passage residents,â&#x20AC;? he offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are planning to seek state funding to get the trails signed and maybe help build a bridge if one is needed.â&#x20AC;? Campion said the club would also pursue local funding options, like Polk-Burnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Operation Round-up grants, as well as private donors. Summer said one of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate goals with this plan is to have a self-contained triathlon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, a triathlon which does not rely on public roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grantsburg has a triathlon, but they use public roads,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one we could have, the running, the biking and the kayaking, would all be within the Kizer.â&#x20AC;? Summer said opening his shop in Webster was where the idea for a trail was born. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People riding the Gandy would stop and ask where the mountain bike trails are located,â&#x20AC;? He related. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to tell

them the county didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say the Kizer trail would be mountain bike only. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could take a regular bike on there but probably not a racing bike with thin tires,â&#x20AC;? Summer continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d maintain it as a four-season trail because â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fat tireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bikes are all the rage right now.â&#x20AC;? Campion said the trail they are proposing would give the fat-tire cyclists on their way to Hayward a reason to stop in Burnett County. Summer said Burnett County could become a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silent Sportâ&#x20AC;? destination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kizer would be a great place to start,â&#x20AC;? he reasoned. For his part, Jake Nichols, forestry department manager, said the Kizer is a good location for this application because there are no ATV trails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand we are the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; users, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to coexist with hunters and snowmobilers,â&#x20AC;? Summer pointed out. The committee authorized the club to work with the forestry department on further investigation of the plan. In other business: â&#x20AC;˘ The committee awarded the Town of Blaine $25,000 in the forestry departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 town road grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Springbrook Trail in Blaine is the most warranted of all the bids,â&#x20AC;? Nichols said of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use that road a

Salvation Army Disaster Services volunteer training BALSAM LAKE—Did you know that if there were a Natural Disaster in our area, the Salvation Army would be one of the first called to help provide services on scene? The Salvation Army relies on volunteers to be on the response team in cases of a disaster and is now seeking those willing to serve in this way. The primary way the Salvation Army responds is by feeding and providing hydration to emergency workers, volunteers and those affected by the disaster. More volunteers are needed to serve in this way. A two-day training session will be held Fri-Sat, April 1-2 at Polk County Justice Center in Balsam Lake. The

SIREN—In what could be considered another step in bringing Community Bank into the village proper, the Siren Village Board voted Thursday to vacate an easement on the property where the bank will reside — the corner of Hwy. 35 and Hwy. 70. “The easement was for a pipe in the ground and since the pipe is capped on both ends, we don’t see the need for an easement,” Ted Gerber, president of Community Bank in Grantsburg, explained to the trustees. Gerber also outlined plans the bank has for the new site. “We’d like to install a remote drive-up because at some point we’d like to put on an addition for future tenants,” he reported. “To avoid congestion at the intersection, we’re going to try to encourage traffic into the bank via Bradley Street and have them exit onto Co. Rd. B. and then use the controlled intersection.” The two businesses already in the former Jackpine Trading Company building, Assured Title and AMEC Mortgage, will remain as tenants of the bank.

The swings allow for a child and parent to face one another in the same swing. “I don’t see a problem as long as we have room,” Alden remarked. • Peggy Moore, VFW commander, asked the board for partial forgiveness of the VFW hall’s water bill. “We have a toilet that goes on and off at will,” she lamented. “We contracted a plumber who installed shut-off valves so now its shut off unless someone is using the facility. She said the $600 bill is more than what’s typical for an entire year. Alden told her the issue would be referred to the streets and utilities committee for action. • Brock Geyen, auditor with Clifton/Larson/Allen, presented his findings to the board of the village’s 2015 audit. “Overall, the village is doing very well,” he noted. “The budget reserve is in good shape and the water and sewer utilities are both doing well —the rates you are charging customers are covering the village’s operational costs of the utilities.”

SIREN—The bid for the new Burnett County highway/forestry building will be award today (Mar. 16). “There were over a dozen contractors and subs at the pre-construction meeting,” Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, reported. “You could see they were just salivating over the prospect of getting the job.” But the contractors had their work cut out for them in preparation of bidding the project. “There are about 60-pages of specifications for the project.” Hoefs continued. One of the bigger concerns as of late is the physical location of the new shop. The plan is to build on the current site, on Highway 70 west of Siren, but to avoid the wetland at the southeast corner of the site, the entire building footprint is being moved north. “It will allow the existing office and part of the shop to stay where it is and to stay operational,” Hoefs explained. “Once the new building is complete we can move in and they can raze the rest of the old structure.” Once the bid is awarded, the clock will start ticking toward actual construction. “The first step is a request for proposal (RFP) the county will issue to area lending institutions,” Nate Ehalt, county administrator, interjected. In other business: • Amidst talk of it being a play-

ground for the rich, Chuck Awe, committee chair, wanted input from members on their view of the Burnett County Airport. “I don’t think people think about the airport,” Rick Anderson noted. “I think they leave it to us to run it as efficiently as possible.” Committee member Jeremy Gronski agreed. “Rick’s right — not a lot of people do talk about it,” he remarked. “But it is good to see non-airport activities like the air show and the drag racing using the facility.” Creating goodwill is one thing, but at least one member sees it as an operational black hole. “The airport will never make money,” member Dale Dresel opined. “People don’t understand the funding, so they are mad at the airport for having a nice new runway while they are driving on pot-holed roads.” But Chris Sybers pointed to the validity of the facility. “From a public safety standpoint, it’s irreplaceable,” he exclaimed. “Between North Ambulance having a chopper based there and the DNR having single engine air tankers (SEATs) there for fire suppression, it’s very much needed.” The consensus gleaned from the discussion is that yes, the airport does bring benefits to the county.

Friends of Crex honor Jerry McNally GRANTSBURG—Jerry McNally of Grantsburg has received the 2015 Special Recognition Award for the Northern District of Wisconsin DNR Wildlife Management, one of only five such awards given in Wisconsin last year. Wildlife Biologist and Glacial Lake Grantsburg Wildlife Property Supervisor Steve Hoffman presented the award to McNally Saturday evening at the Friends of Crex (FOC) Foundation annual dinner. “Jerry has contributed to our organization in many ways,” Hoffman said. “Perhaps Jerry’s largest contribution has been his work in land acquisition. Jerry at the forefront “Since the FOC first started talking about getting involved in land acquisition Jerry has been at the forefront. His experience in real estate makes him a natural in dealing with the intricacies of land acquisition. “He is a skilled negotiator who was born and raised in the area. Jerry is known and respected in the community, and has an excellent grasp of the local real estate market.” Hoffman said in the past five years, Jerry’s actions have resulted in eight different parcels totaling 567 acres being purchased by FOC. “The majority of these acres are now

in state ownership, either through donation by FOC or purchase by the state. Many of these parcels could not have been purchased by the state through our standard land acquisition process. “Jerry has helped buy land through online auctions, land contracts and hand-shake agreements. Without his diligence and persistence the FOC, and in turn the state, would not have been successful in purchasing these properties,” Hoffman said. McNally served 1998-2004 on the FOC Board of Directors, including one term as president. He was an active participant in the fund raising campaign for the Crex Education and Visitor Center. FOC named Jerry Volunteer of the Year in 2007 and Exceptional Volunteer of the Year award in 2013. Jerry also serves on the FOC finance committee. His insight and knowledge of investments has greatly benefited FOC. Hoffman concluded, “Jerry is a very humble man who downplays his role in all this work. When talking to Jerry about his land acquisition work, it is obvious he loves what he is doing. One of his greatest pleasures in life is to be out on the land, walking the woods. We are really happy you love what you’re doing, Jerry! The work you have done will benefit generations to come.” Steve Briggs, Sentinel

Grantsburg’s Hanne Johnson takes second in state conservation contest ELKHART LAKE—Grantsburg sixth grader Hanne Johnson took second place in the Elementary Division of the 59th Annual 2016 Conservation Awareness Poster and Speaking Contest Wednesday. Johnson placed second in the speaking division with her speech entitled “Sea Lamprey.” She is the daughter of Pete and Deb Johnson of Grantsburg. Mariah Haberman, co-host of Discover Wisconsin and Jim VandenBrook, executive director of Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Association, presented the speaking contest winners with trophies and recognized all the students for their outstanding speeches and their commitment to conservation. “The knowledge that these students have on critical conservation issues is impressive and timely,” said VandenBrook. “It is encouraging to hear them speak so eloquently on topics like non-native species and the importance of bees as pollinators, because this generation understands the challenges we

face and the work that is necessary to protect and conserve our natural resources.” The event was part of The Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Association’s 63rd Annual Conservation Conference. The conservation awareness poster and speaking contests are two programs among many that the Youth Education committee coordinates to educate and inspire Wisconsin’s youth, so they understand the importance of stewardship and caring for our natural resources, said Vandenbrook. The topic of the winning speeches were “Invasion: Non-native Species are Threatening Wisconsin,” discussing the overwhelming challenges we face with non-native species overtaking our farm fields, forests and waterways, “The Buzz About Bees” and “The Importance of Bees” discussing how critical the bee population is to our food supply, how the loss of bees is more dire than we realize, and what we can do to encourage the population of bees.

County All-Star Team chosen That time of the year rolled around again last week as the Sentinel Sports team gathered around the old oak table in the dungeon, complete with paper, pencil and beverage to select the athletes who were outstanding on the hard court this past basketball season. Of course, we can’t complete this process without the kindness of our coaches who supply us with stats, information and other considerations. We take our job seriously, probably similar to the judges who selected the 60-some odd teams who are in the NCAA basketball tournament which was released on Sunday night. It might also be noted that four, yes, four individuals from the Sentinel’s coverage area surpassed the 1,000 points-in-a-career milestone. We’ll talk about one player this week and the remaining three next week. So here are our selections for this year’s Burnett County Girls All Star Team. From Webster, Lydia Wilson and Kaitlyn Moser were chosen. Ashlee Rightman and Caitlynn Daniels from Siren were the outstanding players. Cassidy Lee and Olivia Tucker from Grantsburg were the athletes selected. “Wilson had no point guard experience up until this year and she did a phenomenal job orchestrating our offense,” quoted her coach. “We had no back up for her. If she hadn’t played this season, we would have had a problem getting the basketball past half court.” Lydia average 10.1 points per game with three games over 20 points, along with 7.1 rebounds. “We asked her to be a premier defender, and she did just that.” Moser “was one of the best post players in the conference,” said her coach. “She scored almost half our points each game. If she didn’t play well, we didn’t play well.” Kaitlyn averaged 15.6 points a game with 10.2 rebounds to add to her credits. “To get 15.6 points a game while being double and triple teamed is an amazing accomplishment,” concluded her coach. Ashlee Rightman from Siren earned her spot on our All-Star team this year. Rightman averaged 12 points per game with 9.5 rebounds. Her long arms and aggressive defense caused headaches to opposing coaches. Caitlynn Daniels has made the All County Team twice in three years. This year, she had 18 points per game, five rebounds and 4.5 steals. She hit her 1000 career points this season, adding her name to the history books in Siren. These seniors will be sorely missed on next season’s team. Grantsburg’s Cassidy Lee shot 39 percent from the two-point range, 70 percent in free throws, and 32 percent on three-point shots. She averaged 18 points a game in conference play with highs of 35 and 32. “She was always on the other team’s radar,” said her coach. “They often had to change their defense in order to keep her from scoring.” Olivia Tucker “averaged 9.8 points a game against conference schools and was also our leading rebounder, averaging nine per game,” reported her coach. She was also Grantsburg’s second leading scorer, shooting 34.7 percent from the field. Our Honorable Mention players are Allison Mulroy (Webster), Laurel Kannenberg (Siren) and Violet Ohnstad (Grantsburg). Mulroy averaged 7.1 points a game and was “our best pure shooter,” compliments her coach, “She was our most dedicated and hardest working player in our program. “She put in countless hours over the past two years to become the best possible player that she can become.” Laurel had seven points a game with three assists and three steals in each contest. Violet averaged six points per game; three rebounds and 0.7 steals per game. She was a four year participant in the program; she worked hard in practice, and she was a dedicated athlete. The lone Player to Watch is Julia Gavin of Webster. She averaged 5.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for the Tigers. “As a freshman (14 years old) playing against juniors and seniors, she had an outstanding season,” opined her coach. What do you think? Are your choices similar to ours? It’s hard to think that this season has been completed, but it’s true. I’m sure that we’ll hear the drum of a basketball on some driveways this spring, summer and fall with the anticipation that the 2016-17 season is just around the corner. Thanks go to the parents of all our athletes for supporting them in their careers on the hard court. Thank you, fans, for attending all the games you could, cheering for your teams. Thank you, Coaches, for all your hard work in preparing these athletes for the grueling season. And thank you, Athletes, for giving your all. See you next week for the Boys All Star Team.

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

“Peaches & Cream” and “Cleveland” are two of four cats recently surrendered to us from a nearby farm. These boys are approximately one year old. They are friendly and accustomed to other animals (cats, dogs, pigs and cows). We happened to have a couple vacant cat condos at the shelter, and I knew of a couple that had an over-abundance of very friendly cats at their farm. When I contacted them, they said that their cat population was no Peaches & Cream longer a problem, but that their folks had mentioned that they had some cats that should have the luxury of a home because of their wonderful demeanors. I was so impressed with the farm when I arrived to pick up the cats. It was one of the neatest, cleanest farms I’d ever been to. Cleveland Because they were “just” barn cats, I assumed I would have to pick out some names (which I love to do). I had narrowed the names down to the characters of the TV show “Vikings.” After all, who doesn’t like the name Ragnar, Floki or Lagertha? To my surprise, all the animals at this farm had names. (Oh well, I’ll save those Viking names for another group.) These farmers really loved their critters. The cats were in a nice, heated barn with the cows. There was a little room off to the side with shelves, and cat beds on the shelves. All four kitties were so mellow and trusting that there was no problem picking them up and getting them into their cages. Nor did they make a peep on the drive to the shelter. Two are still in the back room recovering from some health issues, but Peaches & Cream and Cleveland are ready and raring to go! They are no longer barn cats. They are now domesticated felines who want to live indoors with no worries. If you are interested in adopting Peaches & Cream, Cleveland, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

Protecting our lakes The Burnett County Lakes and Rivers Association invited 25th District Senator Janet Bewley (right) and Executive Director of Wisconsin Lakes Association Mike Engelson to Burnett County Friday to talk about the recent legislation and its potential impact on water quality. “Our local control is being whittled away,” Bewley told the two dozen concerned individuals in attendance. Engleson agreed saying “Property owners shouldn’t give up the ﬁght to attempt to roll back some provisions of Act 55.”

A prickly Botanist BY EMILY M. STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

A dozen adults hunched over tables examining bare twigs with borrowed hand lenses. Back and forth they looked, between the dichotomous key and their specimen. Did it have one or three bud scales? Or more than five bud scales? Was the pith of the twig chambered or solid or hollow? Finally, we arrived at an answer. The smooth, gray twigs with plump, red buds (covered by three bud scales) belonged to a basswood tree. For fun, I had the students each nip off a bud with their teeth and experience the slightly sweet flavor and mucilaginous texture of this wild edible. We practiced keying out a few more twigs. Then the winter tree identification class headed eagerly out into the warm sunshine to walk the trails at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center in Ashland. We sniffed the glossy, aromatic buds of balsam poplar, admired the snazzy, scarlet stems of red osier dogwood, and commented on the stalked buds of speckled alder. Identifying woody plants by their winter twigs is one of my favorite challenges, and I hoped that the students would gain an appreciation for it, too. As I drove home on Highway 2, a dark blob high in a roadside tree caught my eye. One quick glance backward confirmed my suspicion. The blob showed a spikey outline against the evening sky. Porcupines have begun their spring feast! If you want to meet a real expert in winter tree identification, be sure to bring a thick leather glove for shaking their paw. Porcupines survive on low-nutrient bark all winter

WILDSIDE Youth Winter Skills Camp at Crex

Nature Storytime at Interstate Park

GRANTSBURG – Youth ages 8-15 who want to learn more about science and conservation are encouraged to attend a Winter Outdoor Skills Camp from 9 a.m. to noon Monday-Thursday, March 21-24 at Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area. These camps help maintain outdoor traditions and prepare youth for a lifetime of outdoor pursuits. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources provides a hands-on introduction to snowshoeing, survival concepts, and wildlife conservation. Classes will incorporate both indoor and outdoor activities. Preliminary registration is required, and space will be limited to 20 students. Parents are welcome to attend. Participants should bring insulated winter clothing, boots and a water bottle. Snacks and refreshments will be provided onsite. For registration information, contact DNR Wildlife Conservation Educator Kristi Pupak at 715-4632739.

ST. CROIX FALLS–Join Naturalist Julie Fox at 10 a.m. on Thursdays through March 24, for a story and activity at the Ice Age Center at Wisconsin Interstate Park. A short activity following the story will reinforce the story’s nature-related theme. Nature Storytime is for pre-school children and their parents. The program will generally last between 30-60 minutes. Participants may spend time outdoors, weather permitting, so parents should dress their children accordingly. Interstate Park is located in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, on State Hwy 35, just ½ mile south of Hwy 8. Nature Storytime is free of charge, but a Wisconsin State park sticker is required to enter the park. For more information call Julie at 715-483-3747.

long, and the lengthening days of spring bring a welcome change in their diet. A few years ago I started noticing that in late winter these bristly roadside silhouettes start appearing with some regularity. As it turns out, porcupines spend their spring eating a rotating smorgasbord of juicy tidbits, and they time their courses to match the period when each entree is the most nutritious. They know their trees well because their life depends on it. Dr. Uldis Roze, professor emeritus at City University of New York, radio-collared a porcupine he named Rachel, and followed her around the Catskills one spring. By testing the chemical content of the buds and leaves while Rachel fed on them and then analyzing the plants again after she ceased to eat them, Roze discovered that Rachel pinpointed plant parts high in protein and low in toxins. To get at the most nutritious parts of a twig, porcupines will balance out toward the terminus of a branch and nip off its end using their self-sharpening incisors. Turning the wand around, they nibble off all the most tender twig tips and buds and then discard the rest. Trees on sunny roadsides may be further along in their seasonal sequence than their relatives in a shady forest, so porkies are extra visible now as they satisfy their hunger for spring. Sugar maple buds are one of porcupines’ first spring snacks. As sap rises, the buds swell. Packed inside the overlapping layers of toffee-colored bud scales, tiny leaves and twigs begin to expand. Their chemistry changes, too. At the height of their nutrition (which happens just as the syruping season ceases), sugar maple buds have more protein than enriched breakfast cereal. After just a few weeks, once the buds have fully released their tender young leaves, porcupines cease their sugar snacking totally. The protein content might still be the same, but it no longer matters. The tree has now fortified its appendages with toxic tannins. Tannins are chemicals that bind with proteins, making them an effective defense against many types of herbivores. Sugar maple’s close cousin, the red maple, defends its buds, twigs, and leaves with tannins year-round. It doesn’t seem to have a place in the porcupine’s buffet. Instead, the sweet basswood buds that the students tasted are a porcupine delicacy, as are expanding aspen and willow catkins. Ash trees are the last to open their buds, and they also represent that last of the spring smorgasbord. Once the juicy expanding packets of ash leaves get too old, porcupines switch to a diet of ground plants for a couple months. When the dandelions, clover, and raspberries dry out, porkies head back up into the trees and return to their winter diet of tree bark and evergreen needles. Amazingly, porcupines are active mostly at night, and so identify their next meal by bud and twig under the cover of darkness. Perhaps my next tree identification workshop should include a pricklier instructor! Our new phenology exhibit: “Nature’s Calendar: Signs of the Seasons” will open May 1, 2016.

He began his education in a one-room country school, but completed only one year of high school due to being unable to secure transportation to and from town in order to continue. He and his siblings worked long hours assisting their Dutch immigrant father in sharecropping. They lived on various farms near Cold Spring, Lima Center, and Heart Prairie WI. After auctioning off all their belongings, his parents moved the family to Whitewater. Ronald worked as a pin-setter at Tommy Leonard’s Bar and Grill, and as a lifeguard at Tripp Lake in Whitewater. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and, after completing basic training, shipped out from San Francisco to Guam. The troop transport on which he sailed blew an engine, which extended the ocean trip an extra two weeks, and all on board were horribly seasick. Shortly after arriving in Guam, the troops were assembled for inspection and an honor guard selected from the new arrivals. Ron was among those chosen, later also becoming a member of the 59th Military Police Company. During his service, he was awarded two Bronze Stars. After serving an additional year as mandated by the President, he was honorably discharged. He began working at the Nunn-Bush shoe factory in Edgerton, WI. On advice from a friend, he applied to, and was hired by, General Motors in Janesville WI, holding various positions including welder, inspector and relief man. His favorite job was relief man, doing other people’s jobs while they took their scheduled breaks, because “the line never stops.” For more than 40 years, Rob worked for General Motors and maintained an exemplary attendance record. In 1958, Ron married Gail Marie Cowles, a college student waitressing at Crummy’s Drive-In and Marine of Whitewater. She walked over to take his order, asking “What’ll you have?” He made her smile with cheesy reply, “You.” To this union, three children were born: Lisa Holly “Lisa Bug” (Ritsema) Nuhring, Ronald Reid “Tiger” Ritsema, and Melanie C’Ana Cowles “Fritzi” (Ritsema) Heckel. Ron was happiest when enjoying nature. After their dream house was built, he and Gail moved to Johnstown area in the mid-1960s. He created numerous paths within their 60 acres of woods, and enjoyed keeping paths and lawns immaculate. Throughout his life, he nurtured several orphaned baby animals, including a flying squirrel, numerous raccoons, gray squirrels and even a skunk. He and Gail also enjoyed polka-dancing, particularly if Vern Meisener’s band was playing. Gail and Ron got dressed to the nines for dancing on New Year’s Eve. Ron was also an avid collector of brass railroad keys, exquisite antique glassware, old marbles and sake cups. He especially enjoyed adding to his extensive collection of rare ammunition cartridges and Native American artifacts and arrowheads. He had a great sense of humor. He enjoyed growing a variety of lillies, watching old westerns and the Masters Golf Tournament with his son, Tiger. In his younger days, he enjoyed camping in the Kettle Moraine forest with friends. For many years he sported a perfect crewcut, and Old Spice was his cologne of choice. He was a natural athlete and adept at hitting targets with rifles, pistols, and knives. Much to his kids’ surprise, he was a crack shot with a slingshot. He loved a good grilled steak from Johnstown Meat Market, his daughter Fritzie’s rhubarb cake and his ever-present glass of ice-cold Sundrop. Ron is survived by his three children: Lisa (Daniel) Nuhring of Grantsburg, Melanie (Fred) Heckel of Sullivan, WI, and Ronald Ritsema of Las Vegas. He is also survived by his beloved granddaughter, Olivia L’Mae Heckel of Milwaukee; five sisters, Viola Ida (Ritsema) Stoll of Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, Virginia Emma (Ritsema) Taber of Roscoe, IL, Leatrice Lillian (Ritsema) Selnow of Harvard, IL, Bessie Louise (Ritsema) Moss of Yorkville, IL, and Nancy Ann (Ritsema) Mason of Roscoe, IL; numerous nieces, and nephews. Ron was preceded in death by his ex-wife, Gail, a brother Clifford Fred Ritsema, a sister-in-law Ethel (Schoenneman) Ritsema, and brothers-in-law Herbert Stoll, Eugene Leroy Tabor, Floyd Henry Selnow, Paul Francis Moss and Samuel Peterson Mason. The family prefers memorials to Wildlife in Need Center, Suite B, W349-S1480 S. Waterville Rd., Oconomowoc, WI, 53066, to provide hospitalization and rehabilitation for injured wild animals.

MARCH 16, 2016

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

Confession that blesses the heart I grew up in the south and heard the expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, bless your little heart!â&#x20AC;? I never quite knew what that meant as a kid and, quite frankly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure I know now. I no longer live in the south, but I deeply desire Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessing on my life. I am not speaking materially here, because God has given me everything I could ever need. Psalm 32 teaches us to have that kind of blessing from God through the discipline of confession. Psalm 32 uses three different words for sin and then talks about how the believer

can be forgiven. It starts out with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven.â&#x20AC;? The word means â&#x20AC;&#x153;happyâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;fulfilledâ&#x20AC;?. Those who know the forgiveness of God are truly the happiest people in the world. David would go on to tell about how miserable he was when he tried to hide his sin. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if this was speaking of his adulterous affair with Bathsheba or some other sin, but we know that the believer who is harboring unconfessed sin is miserable. Psalm 32 ends with the joyful exclamation

â&#x20AC;&#x153;shout for joy, all you upright in heart.â&#x20AC;? To be upright in heart doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t not mean to be perfect, but to have a clean conscious before a holy God through confession. Hiding sin brings misery while confession and repentance brings joy. If there is any sin in your life that you need to confess to God, I would urge you to not wait. There is a window of opportunity that God is giving you. Bring your sin to God and let him give you the joy of His smile.
