Sunday ﬁre claims home

GRANTSBURG—A homeowner and his son, who were home at the time of the blaze, escaped injury as a fire engulfed the Loren Baker home on Gardner Road south of Grantsburg Sunday morning. “The fire appears to have started in the exterior wall on the south side of the house, but the cause of the blaze is still under investigation,” Derek Zeiler, chief of the Grantsburg Fire Department, explained. He said if the fire stayed in that area, firefighters could have had the chance to contain it. “The fire spread to the second floor,” he continued. “We had to back out of the house and fight it from outside.” Zeiler said the home sustained heavy water damage, especially the second floor, after crews used more than 24,000-gallons of water to extinguish the fire. The Grantsburg department initially responded to the fire at 4:46 a.m. Sunday morning. Mutual aid calls to Siren and Pine City, Minn. soon went out for manpower and tenders (water-carrying vehicles). Subsequent mutual aid calls for tenders went to the Cushing, Frederic and Webster Fire Departments. Zeiler said Wisconsin DNR was also on the scene. The Grantsburg Fire Department was on the scene for about five hours. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

KUMAMOTO, KYUSHU, JAPAN — A Grantsburg native survived unharmed the 6.7 magnitude earthquake Thursday and a much stronger 7.3 earthquake about 52 hours later on the island of Kyushu, where he teaches English in a Japanese Lutheran School. Zach Corbin, 26, a 2008 Grantsburg High School graduate, was able to contact his mother, Kim Corbin of Grantsburg after both of the quakes to assure her he was

unhurt. Only five miles away from his home, at the earthquake’s epicenter, houses and other structures were flattened. A recent count put the death toll from the quakes at 40, with hundreds injured. Aftershocks, experts say, may continue for days or weeks. Corbin’s school leaders first told him and other teachers the school would close for a week, but later changed the estimate to two weeks. The school was not seriously damaged and is being used as an

emergency shelter. The city’s airport is closed due to major damage, and the main hospital in Kumamoto was evacuated. Roads around the city are impassable, and the rail system has also been closed. “We assume they are helicoptering supplies in,” Kim said. Zach was at home in his apartment when the first quake hit about 9:30 Thursday evening, local time, which is 14 hours ahead of SEE CORBIN, PAGE 6

GRANTSBURG – A new program at Grantsburg High School aims to get students as young as 14 to start thinking about their career plans after high school and how to achieve them. It also wants high school freshmen and sophomores to know that one doesn’t need straight-A grades or have lots of money stashed away in order to get a twoyear or four-year degree. A third goal is to help students learn about jobs and careers available in Grantsburg, so that when they are trained graduates of a college or technical program, they will return to Burnett County to live, work and raise families. To achieve these goals, all Grantsburg High School freshmen took a career interest exam this year to help them discover what types of careers excite them. The results show the students their top three interests among 16 “career clusters,” which the school then helps them explore by talking with people who work in those careers in the Grantsburg area. A financial counselor met with the students earlier this spring to explore how they can pay for their education, and to be sure they know that scholarships, grants and loans are available, no matter their career path or their grade point average. Career Expo June 2 Finally, on June 2, the school will host a Career Expo where students will be able to talk to Grantsburg area companies about careers the local businesses have available, the skills the students will need, and the pay and benefits they can expect. Representatives of two- and four-year schools will also attend, along with representatives from the military. “This is not a job fair for hiring,” says Suzie Retzer, GHS Transition Coordinator who is organizing the expo with Rebecca Stavne of Grantsburg Comm. Ed. “Students and adults shouldn’t come expecting to leave with a new job.

Careers in Grantsburg In the weeks leading up to the Career Expo, the Burnett County Sentinel will explore opportunities in the area in the top five career clusters selected by GHS freshmen. Those clusters are health science; arts, audio/visual and communication; Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM); agriculture and natural resources; hospitality and tourism. Retzer said the goal is for students to know and plan what classes they need to complete to prepare themselves for education after high school, so they can fulfill their dream of becoming a police officer, florist, accountant, LPN or whatever career they choose. Retzer concluded, “Our job is to help students reach their career goal by following their pathway, based on their interests. We are so excited about the program.”

“The focus is career planning so kids know what they will need to succeed in their chosen career. And, we hope to better our community by having more trained workers return and live in Grantsburg; not just four-year grads but technical workers and apprentices too.” In the evening of June 2, the Career Expo doors will open to the public from 4-7 p.m., so that adults looking for a new career in the community can find out what types of jobs are available and how to qualify for them. The event is sponsored by Grantsburg High School, Grantsburg Community Education, and the Grantsburg Industrial Development Corporation. “If a student wants to become a welder, engineer, mechanic or med tech, we want them to know that there is a way to go to school and achieve that, and also that they can come back to live here now or in the future, knowing their chosen career will be available here,” Retzer said. Each student at the expo will get a “passport” they can take to the various business booths as they gather information. When they collect enough signatures, they will qualify to have their name entered for a door prize.

APRIL 20, 2016

Concrete jungle My wife had a week-long conference in Minneapolis for her work earlier in the month, and in addition to making the Minneapolis-Burnett County commute at oh-dark-thirty a few times, I actually spent a vacation day enjoying the sights and sounds of the big city. That included my morning constitutional. Obviously, there are huge differences between Minneapolis and Grantsburg, but the two that stuck out to me the most on those morning walks were all the concrete and the stoplights — seemed like at least one at every corner. Coming from a rural setting where there are only two stoplights in the whole county, one at every corner was a bit much. Not that there was a lot of Seems to traffic early in the day, but the stoplights kind of ruled where Me my walk took me. Rather than against the “red hand,” I’d Todd Beckmann cross cross with the “walk” sign. After awhile, however, it seemed like I could cover a city block in the time it would take the stoplight to cycle through and be back to “walk” when I got to the next corner. And the wind — let’s not forget about the wind. I’ve heard tales about how skyscrapers create wind tunnels and have even experienced some of that in our nation’s bigger cities, but one of my walks in downtown Minneapolis is the first time I could not sustain forward momentum. Honestly, how difficult is one foot in front of the other? But there was one point where the wind was so forceful I literally could not move forward and actually had to wait a moment for the wind to subside so I could continue my walk. And, I didn’t realize this until this past trip, but those skyscrapers have a tendency to make the wind swirl any which way. Serious bicyclists will attest to the value of knowing the wind direction. In fact, most cyclists will begin their ride into the wind so they can have it on their back for the trip home. I purposely did the same thing on my walks, more to avoid the cold in my face on the way home but it didn’t seem to matter. I’d be walking one direction into a stiff breeze thinking it’d be great when I got to the corner and could change my direction. Ha. It wasn’t to be — if anything, the wind seemed stronger once I turned the corner. But putting the physical act of walking aside for a moment, it was a great way to tour the city. A hotel my mom and I would stay at when I was in high school wasn’t there anymore — some fancy new building was there in its stead. An old hotel that used to have a great breakfast was still there — tucked away in the midst of the towering buildings in downtown — I did not sample their fare to see if the breakfasts remain great. Of course it’s no longer Dayton’s, but the shops at the back of Macy’s were almost unchanged in the 30-odd years it’s been since I was there last— a shoe repair place, a Chinese restaurant, a Foot Locker and a candy store. I was able to walk up to the gate of Target Field and see the green grass of the outfield, I was able to wander over to see where the mighty Mississippi flows through downtown, and I was able to ride the Metro train to St. Paul. It was a great walk down memory lane.

BURNETT COUNTY

It can always be worse As I tune into the network morning news that I have on as background noise while I eat breakfast, I never cease to be amazed at the ongoing circus that is the 2016 presidential nomination process. A great amount of air time has been devoted to concerns over the quality of the remaining candidates for both parties, with good reason in my opinion. But I recently watched a six episode documentary series on CNN, From the “The Race for the Publisher’s White House” that put things in perDesk spective for me. The series, narTom Stangl rated and co-produced by actor Kevin Spacey, profiles six races that the producers claim have defined our nation. The episodes are: John F. Kennedy vs. Richard Nixon in 1960, Abraham Lincoln vs. Stephen Douglas in 1860, George H.W. Bush vs. Michael Dukakis in 1988, Harry Truman vs. Thomas Dewey in 1948, Andrew Jackson vs. John Quincy Adams in 1828 and Bill Clinton vs. George H.W. Bush in 1992. I’m a sucker for well done documentaries, and it is interesting to me how a single moment or gaffe by a candidate changes history.

Andrew Jackson won the popular vote in 1824, but did not win a majority in the electoral college. The race was decided by the House of Representatives. Henry Clay, the Speaker of the House and fourth place finisher in the electoral count in the 1824 race, struck a deal with Adams that he would serve as Secretary of State in exchange for his support. In the previous four administrations, the Secretary of State had been the successor to the president. Adams was elected, but the “corrupt bargain” as it became to be known would sink the political ambitions of Adams and Clay. Jackson, feeling that democracy itself was at risk, immediately began making plans to gain the office that he felt had been stolen. The race of 1828 was tough and very personal, with supporters attacking Jackson’s wife as well as his temperament. Jackson defeated Adams, but his wife died before he took office. Adams did not stay for Jackson’s inauguration, which had been the tradition. “Honest” Abe Lincoln employed a powerful convention floor manager to ensure that he would win the nomination, which he did on the third ballot. A fractured party split. Lincoln won a three-way race for the presidency and the nation headed to a bloody civil war. During a particularly brutal debate in 1992, President George

Bush was caught glancing at his watch, giving people the impression that he felt the debate was beneath him. He would lose a second term in a three way race against Bill Clinton and Ross Perot. The documentary revealed that Nixon was a bit of a klutz, often banging his knee against open car doors. In fact, he injured his knee so badly that he was hospitalized with an infection for weeks during the campaign. The evening of the first televised debate, Nixon banged his knee again and he was in pain during the debate. There were many allegations of voter fraud in Illinois on election day. with one commentator in the documentary stating that the dead of Chicago turned out in big numbers for Kennedy, giving him the win. Some theorize that the dirty tricks of the Kennedy campaign left a lasting impression on Nixon, planting the seeds for Watergate. The series helped me put this year’s race in perspective.

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. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A good day for Grantsburg To the Editor: Tuesday, April 5, was a proud day for Grantsburg. Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, and Rep. Adam Jarchow came to Grantsburg to honor the late U.S. Marine Sgt. Carson Holmquist by signing into law a bill naming Highway 87 between St. Croix Falls and Grantsburg “Holmquist Way.” Sgt. Holmquist was one of several soldiers killed or wounded by a terrorist last July, while Holmquist was on active duty at a military recruitment station in Tennessee. After a short speech relating to Sgt. Holmquist’s bravery and duty to country, Gov. Walker signed the bill into law with members of Sgt. Holmquist’s family, Grantsburg school students and community members looking on. Several family members, including Holmquist’s wife, Jasmine, received one of the pens the governor had used to sign the bill.

Since the Twin Towers fell on 9/11/2001, some 330 people have been charged as terrorists, with 80 percent being Americans. “If you always do, what you’ve always done, you’ll always get, what you’ve always had.” Our USA best practice - Iraqi Freedom. The first of these was a brief, 21-day, conventionally-fought war in MarchApril 2003, in which a combined force of troops from the United States and Great Britain (with smaller contingents from several other countries) invaded Iraq and rapidly defeated Iraqi military and paramilitary forces. Troops, when sent in, should do their mission and then get out. This is their preference. Covert operations: We need to create an anti-terrorism army of convicts who would serve the USA under an agreement of amnesty. Their mission would be to eliminate terrorists in the USA and throughout the world. Federal inmates cost us $29,300 per year and state inmates cost us $31,300 per year. The selection pool is 160,000 inmates in our federal prisons to start, done by former top NCO’s from the infantry of the Army and Marines. They would be trained and deployed by this elite group of veterans. Twenty years of service and good conduct for these once-convicted men would result in their freedom. Their records would be cleared, and they would be released back into society. Does our Constitution give us the right to overthrow our government? No. Our only option is the power of our vote. Voter participation for the USA is 54.9 percent and Wisconsin

Governor Walker’s directive? To the Editor: Governor Walker’s recent directive to state agencies asking for more cooperation regarding open records leaves me puzzled. This unexpected change comes after Governor Walker’s Department of Administration and the Finance Committee worked hand-in-hand to put changes to restrict open records into last summer’s budget bill. Why did the DOA specifically ask Finance for variations in the “Wisconsin Idea” from the University of Wisconsin Systems Mission Statement? Why such drastic law changes in a budget bill? Our government should be working for us, not against us by limiting our access. Is it wrong for taxpayers, who place an enormous amount of trust in our officials, to ask for openness and transparency? We should be asking difficult questions and follow up through records. Just like a puzzle, the picture is not in place unless we have access to each piece. Retrieving records has changed, as technology allows storage in many new formats and many records are now stored only in the electronic format. An example of technology was revealed several years ago when a request showed several school board members were having a private conversation electronically during the open board meeting before voting. I believe we should all know the conversations that are taking place when a decision is made? We consistently hear officials boast about transparency, although they get silent when a record is requested. Some ignore the request, putting the requester in a position to either drop the issue or follow up requiring legal action. Some cases have shown that the custodian of records deleted the files after the request was made, claiming the items no longer exist. In some counties, audio and video recordings of some meetings can be purchased, while sometimes an edited version is put online. Documents can be obtained for a fee but the charge is inconsistent. Getting a copy at our County Clerk’s office will be $.25 per page, while asking for copies at the Clerk of Courts office will be $2 per page. The Clerk of Courts office states they do not need to follow the county plan and will charge $2 per page. Technology is now advanced to where a cell phone can scan a document, requiring no staff time or handling of the material, but a sign is conveniently displayed stating no cameras are allowed. It appears that obtaining copies is a new form of tax to the citizen who dares to ask for openness and transparency. By statute, the responsibility of enforcement is left to district attorneys, the Attorney General’s office,

Time for common sense To the Editor: At 240 years old, we are a fairly new country. We’ve learned a few things and I’m sure we have plenty more to learn. In the last 40 years, our economy has been based on the theory of “trickle down” economics, which assumes more money amassed by the wealthiest will benefit the middle class. It doesn’t work. It is time to replace this broken theory with proven strategies that will create wealth for the middle class. We’ve been kneeling at the trickle-down altar for 40 years. We’re still losing good-paying, family-supporting jobs. Wages have been stagnant. Poverty is gobbling up the middle class. Economists have been sounding the alarm for the last several years that the widening gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots” will cause a devastating impact on our economy as a whole. People who get up and go to work every day in low-paying jobs face the reality that, for them, the American Dream is not working out so well. Only the wealthy continue to see their wealth grow. We don’t need to keep proving that trickle-down economics doesn’t work. The middle class that built this country is disappearing. When the middle class has no money, people don’t buy things from the companies that make things. People lose their jobs, companies lose profit share, and we all spiral down. It is time for some common sense to enter into our economic policies. Bring good-paying jobs to our middle class working families – a decent wage for a day’s work – and fair tax policy that allows the economy to expand. To create access to wealth for more people we must invest in education, rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, and create and support energy policies that support clean air and water, and promote energy independence.

Honor the earth on Earth Day April 22 BY JEN BARTON RECYCLING CONTROL COMMISSION

Earth Day is this Friday, April 22. We are now entering the 46th year of a movement that continues to inspire, challenge ideas, ignite passion, and motivate people to action. In 1970, the year of the first Earth Day, the movement gave voice to an emerging consciousness, channeling human energy toward environmental issues. Last week we learned about the founder of Earth Day, Wisconsin’s Sen. Gaylord Nelson. This week will pose a few options for you to explore: a simple option such as planting a tree, and a larger commitment to incorporate renewable energy into your home which we will be exploring more in-depth in a later article. And so it begins — today, right here and right now. Earth Day is more than just a single day — April 22, 2016. It’s bigger than attending a rally and taking a stand. This Earth Day and beyond, let’s make big stuff happen. Let’s plant trees for the earth. Let’s rid ourselves of fossil fuels and move towards renewable energy. Over the next five years, as Earth Day moves closer to its 50th anniversary, planting trees will be the first of five major goals all of us should undertake in honor of the five-year countdown to the 50th anniversary. On their own and together, these initiatives will make a significant and measurable impact on the earth and will serve as the foundation of a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable planet for all. Why Trees? • Trees help combat climate change. They absorb excess and harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) from our atmosphere. In fact, in a single year, an acre of mature trees absorbs an amount of CO2 equal to that produced by driving an average car 26,000 miles. • Trees help us breathe clean air. Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark. • Trees help communities. Trees help communities achieve long-term economic and environmental sustainability and provide food, energy, beauty, shade and income. Renewable energy in Wisconsin? Yes! Solar, wind, and more can be explored through the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) of Custer, WI. They have an annual fair coming up as well. Buy tickets early to receive discounted rates, available through June 5. You can also join as an MREA member or sign up to volunteer and get free admission. Youth 12 and under get in free, as well as dads with child(ren) on Father’s Day. The 2016 Energy Fair dates are Fri-Sun, June 17 -19 at MREA, located at 7558 Deer Road in Custer, WI 54423. This Friday, whatever you do, do something! Pick up some litter. Plant a tree or research renewable energy options. The earth needs you and you need the earth. Let’s do this!

or a private attorney. With the AG’s office handling only state agency cases and the elected DA claiming not to have the expertise or resources for such investigations, the requester is required to hire a private attorney to enforce the laws of the state. I applaud Governor Walker for directing state agencies to be more cooperative in allowing access to public documents. I challenge Governor Walker to use his influence with the legislature to establish a consistent and statewide fee structure and adding criminal penalties for deleting records after a request is made. The people shouldn’t have to bear the brunt of expenses to get our government officials to follow the law. Paul Johnson Spooner

CORBIN: English instructor survives two earthquakes in Kumamoto, Japan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Grantsburg. He spent the night in an evacuation center, but was able to return to his apartment the next day. The second quake hit at 1:30 a.m. Saturday while he was asleep. Many of his personal items were dashed to the floor but the building itself remained sound. His apartment has electrical power, but some areas of Kumamoto do not, and the entire city of Kumamoto is without running water. Kim said after a 5.7 earthquake struck Kyushu Island in December, 1980, buildings were re-built to a stricter standard to tolerate the shocks and rolls of earthquake tremors. Compared to the earthquake in Ecuador a day later, where hundreds died, she said “it’s kind of amazing they are as well off as they are. As a first world country, I am sure the structures are better built in Japan than even in the capital of a third-world country. It’s scary.” Zach, who studied multimedia and graphic design at California Lutheran University, has been in Japan for about 18 months. The first six months were spent in teacher training. He has been at the school for one full school year and was in the first month of his second school year, which started in March. Kim said Japan is not a volunteer cul-

ture. “From what I have read and heard, the Japanese do not organize and volunteer. The relief efforts are handled by their federal, nationwide relief organization. I don’t know if there even is an opportunity for Zach to go and help,” she said. “It will be interesting to hear what he has to say two weeks from now, a month from now, and what happens as a nation to fix this.” Zach teaches conversational English to Japanese high school age students, most of whom speak English as their second language. He teaches at the junior high and high school level. He is teaching through the Global Missions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) of which Faith Lutheran in Grantsburg is a member. “The Japanese Lutheran Church has private junior and senior high schools,” Kim said. “He is also paired up with a church and is very heavily involved in the Japanese Lutheran Church. He will be there one more year.” Among career options, Zach is now considering teaching when he returns the U.S., or perhaps going into ministry like his father, Craig Corbin, former director of Luther Point Bible Camp. Since January, Craig has been pastoring a Lutheran church in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Kim will join him there when their rural Grantsburg home is sold.

A minor snafu in fab lab project GRANTSBURG—The school district of Grantsburg will be losing its technology educator at the end of the school year. While losing a teacher is not an unusual event, with Grantsburg on the cusp of developing its own fabrication lab, some could see it as a detrimental loss to the program. That was the conundrum facing the Grantsburg School Board when it met last week. “We are aggressively seeking candidates,” high school principal Josh Watt told board members. Chief among board members’ concerns is the future of the fab lab. “Jared’s (Jared Eichten) resignation shouldn’t impact the development of the lab,” Watt assured. “He has not attended any specific ‘fab lab’ training so its not like the district is losing out there.” “Considering he is leaving, this is probably one of the best times he could leave,” Watt continued. Early spring is a good time for trying to recruit new teachers. “In fact, the new lab we are designing could be a drawing card for potential tech ed teachers,” he concluded. In other business: • Bid documents were approved so the estimated $600,000-plus football field drainage project and 8-lane track improvements are now out for bid with an opening and subsequent awarding of the bid set for May 2 and May 9. The project calls for installing an

irrigation system, fixing the drainage problems, seeding the field and adding two lanes to the current 6-lane track. “The new field should be playable by the first game this fall,” Joni Burgin, superintendent, pointed out. • The board approved the calendar for the iForward 2016-17 Jared Eichten school year. The calendar calls for the first day of school on Sept. 1, the last day of school is June 1, 2017 with graduation tentatively set for June 10, 2017. • The board spent a little more than $200,000 when it awarded bids to Climate Makers and Rice Lake Glass and Door for the replacement of the high school boiler and replacement of a few of the high school’s exterior doors, respectively. • The board also approved the hiring of Stephanie Berkholtz as a special education teacher for the 2016-17 school year. “She will bring a lot of positive energy,” Watt praised. “We are excited to have her aboard.” by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

Since being inaugurated in January, 2015, Adam has spent a day each month working a full shift at a small business in the area. He calls these days “Working with You” Days. From farmer to beer delivery driver to waiter to garbage hauler, Adam has invested more than 100 hours working side-by-side with the hard-working men and women of this area. Why? “Because working with you helps me understand what you want me to be doing while I’m in Madison working for you,” said Jarchow. The job of a state representative, as Jarchow sees it, “is to learn about the hopes and dreams of the people I represent and then work on policy that will help make those

hopes and dreams a reality. During his first term, Jarchow worked on legislation hunter rights, property rights, and advancing the emerging sport of alpine-biking at area ski hills. Hunters are able to enjoy their pastime free of harassment. Taxes are down. Businesses are growing. Jobs and wages are up. Local governments and schools will see millions in savings from our repeal of the prevailing wage law. And we have passed a number of bills to address the heroin epidemic, Alzheimer’s and dementia and college debt. But there is much work to be done. Jarchow commented, “Even though we have accomplished much, we still have much to accomplish. So in 2016, I’m in. I’m excited to keep working with you and for you. I ask for your support in this important campaign.” You can view the campaign kickoff video by visiting his website www.adamjarchow.com.

Planning to celebrate 100 agreed they could charge $2 a person to help defray the cost of the event. “The idea is to get people to town, and it sounds like these ideas will do it,” Village President Jeff Roberts opined.

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—An inspired committee has been working hard to bring lots of festivities to the 2016 Gandy Dancer Days in Webster in August to help the village celebrate its centennial. The Webster Village Board even got into the act at its meeting last week when it tentatively agreed to help sponsor fireworks in July as a precursor to the 100year weekend, plus a lumberjack show during Gandy Dancer Days. “The 10th Hole will no longer be sponsoring fireworks for the Fourth of July, so we are thinking of taking over that event,” John Vandegron told trustees. “My plan is to contact all the co-sponsors to see if they’ll continue helping to cover the cost of the event —if that happens, there’d be no cost to the village.” Otherwise, the village would be on the hook for the roughly $3,600 it would cost to put on the show. “Larry Dale, a licensed pyrotechnics specialist, and his crew put on about a 35-minute show of continual action,” he continued. “It’s become one of the premiere fireworks shows in the area.” The show is slated for Saturday, July 2. “Our idea is to have a microphone set up and advertise the fact we are having our 100-year celebration the second weekend in August,” Vandegron added. “We are also hoping our tri-fold brochures outlining the weekend’s activities are ready and we’ll be handing those out as well.”

John Vandegron

He envisions making an event of the whole situation. “I’d like to get the fair board to open its beer garden and maybe even have some food,” Vandegron explained. The trustees saw that as a no-brainer. “They’d be foolish not to,” Tim Maloney remarked. Getting the village’s blessing on the fireworks, Vandegron also presented the idea of a lumberjack show during the Saturday of Gandy Dancer Days. “Danbury did it when they had their 100th a few years ago and it was a big hit,” he noted. “The show is out of Hayward and they do a lot of crowd interaction.” For $4,000, the company puts on three 30-minute shows, complete with log rolling, log climbing and log cutting. Vandegron and the trustees

In other business: • Police chief Mike Spafford handed out a list with no fewer than 18 residences within the village on the official spring property clean-up list. “I hand-delivered all of these notices and they have 30 days in which to follow through,” he told board members. “If they are not cleaned up, they will be cited — and if we need to, the village will clean-up the property and put the bill on that resident’s tax roll.” • MSA’s Mike Hagness told the trustees the sewer improvements should begin later in April — if the weather holds. “A1 Construction wants all of their equipment on hand before they begin construction,” he reported. “They will begin repairing lift station No. 3 as it has the least flow, then No. 2 and finish with No. 1 — substantial completion should be complete by the end of June.” • The board okayed the purchase of a $26,000 Ford Explorer as the new police squad • Following the spring election earlier this month, trustees Greg Widiker, Sarah Casady and Kelsey Gustafson were sworn in for another two-year term. • The board waived the $25 per hour rental fee for Cub Scout pack 564 to use the community center once a month.

out. “Once we had that status, we went to get our trinkets and they gave us food instead — we didn’t even know they had food.” So instead of Mexico trips, Ruby’s gave away that first batch of food in Pine City, MN. “One thing led to another and here we are, 13 years later, still doing food,” Sahr commented. The only food distribution site for Ruby’s Pantry in Burnett County is in Danbury. “We serve about 50 families there,” he added. Ruby’s has a 10,000 square-foot warehouse in North Branch, MN and just bought an additional 20,000 squarefoot warehouse in the same town, inside which they are building a 6,000 square-foot freezer. “That’s a 60-foot by 100-foot room just for freezer space,” he emphasized. “Right now we are renting freezer space in Minneapolis, but found it is cheaper to build our own.” With 40 employees, 14 tractors, and trailers too numerous to count, Sahr definitely believes the need is there. In fact, Home and Away Ministries just bought the former Pioneer Nursing Home in Luck, although “just” may be a misnomer as the building has been theirs for more than three years. Sahr and his employees have been renovating the 60,000 square-foot space while trying to decide the proper use of the facility. “We just opened a free medical and dental clinic in one wing which is open the first and third Tuesdays of the month — and we can expand those hours as needed,” he commented. “There are few people in Burnett County who would not qualify for these services.” He said the clinic does not carry narcotics. It is not a drop-in clinic, so appointments or calls to inquire on qualifying for service can be made at 715-4727770. Home and Away Ministries also hosts a website, myfreeclinic.org, to answer questions. Home and Away is currently working on deals with Burnett Medical Center, St. Croix Regional Medical Center and Amery. “There is no sense in duplicating efforts —we do basic services and we’d have to refer them for more specialized needs,” Sahr remarked. “We’re here to help the uninsured or the under-insured — those who might otherwise fall through the cracks.” The center also boasts a beauty shop which is open one day a month. “The doctors, the dentist, the beauticians, they are all volunteering their time and efforts,” Sahr exclaimed. So the building, complete with 60 newly renovated bedrooms and a licensed and inspected kitchen, is being used but not to the capacity it could be. “If I had my way, I’d like to make this place into an orphanage,” he continued. “But we’ve talked about the need for a drug treatment center, an alcohol treatment center, lots of different uses.” For now, Home and Away Ministries plans to use the non-clinic portion of the building as a conference center. “It’s the most obvious use,” Sahr realized.

Looking ahead to winter • Highway department to order salt for winter road maintenance. SIREN—We haven’t even sustained 60-degrees overnight and we are already planning for winter 2016-17? In the world of maintaining county highways, it’s just another day at the office. “We only need to order 1,900 tons of salt to top off our salt reserves for the 201617 winter maintenance season,” Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, told members of th Burnett County Infrastructure committee last week. “We’ve only spent $501,000 on winter maintenance to date so we are looking pretty good —we should come in $150,000 under budget.” In addition to allowing him to ease into the job, the fairly easy winter bodes well for counties. “The last two mild winters have led to some leftover Department of Transportation (DOT) funds,” Hoefs explained. “There’s about $7 million just for the northwest region.” The money can be used for shouldering, patching, even chip-sealing — the only caveat is the money is earmarked for state roads only. “Other counties are lobbying pretty hard for that money and you know the squeaky wheel gets the grease,” Hoefs noted. “Burnett County could play the same game and call the DOT everyday to whine about our roads but I don’t think that would do any good— the DOT knows what the needs are.”

Hoefs was careful to point out the future of these discretionary funds is in the option stage right now — that nothing is set in stone. “I am currently discussing options for the state highways in Burnett County with my contact at the DOT, but don’t have anything committed yet,” Hoefs pointed out. “This is a good thing for the local state highways since budgeted dollars are very limited and appear to be limited still in the coming years.” In other business: • The committee approved a temporary speed limit ordinance. In part, the ordinance authorizes the highway commissioner, for the safety of the highway construction and maintenance workers, to post a temporary speed limit less than the speed limit if a highway is being constructed, reconstructed, maintained or repaired. “The law is already a part of the statutes — but by passing the ordinance, it gives us the authority to enforce the law,” Hoefs pointed out. The measure now goes to the full board. • The county may be adding a salt storage shed in Grantsburg. “The county is third in line for a new facillity — the DOT is trying to be more strategic in where it places these sheds,” Hoefs reported. “If Grantsburg were to get a shed, we could see a cost savings over time.” Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

WISCONSIN BRIEFING is settled. ``We wholeheartedly disagree with (the) decision and final order. We will seek a stay and immediately appeal the decision. I am confident the law ultimately will be upheld and Wisconsin will remain a Right-to-Work state,'' Attorney General Brad Schimel said in a statement. Right-to-work laws prohibit businesses and unions from reaching agreements that require all workers, not just union members, to pay union dues. Twenty-five states have such laws. Republican Gov.

Grantsburg Village Board approves roadwork, ATV route BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

At its April meeting, the Grantsburg Village Board approved a street resurfacing project on Benson Avenue, from Oak Street west to Gary Street (the dump road). The board accepted a bid from Monarch Paving at $91,188.83 for a “warm mix’ layer of asphalt three inches deep on Benson from Oak to Russell Street, and 2½ inches thick from Russell to Gary. As opposed to hot mix, the “warm mix” option has proven to be more durable and lasts longer, according to Grantsburg Public Works Department Director Chris Bartlett. Monarch’s representative at the meeting said after reviewing the roadway, the job may require an additional 60 tons of asphalt, which would add another $3,500 to the project. The board was okay with that. The other bid was from Taylor Paving, with multiple options at $110,000 and higher. The board also approved a travel route for ATVs through the village, allowing riders to enter from the north along Borg Road/Russell Street, Benson Road from the west, and S. Russell Street on the south. Riders will maintain a 10 mph maximum speed while traveling through the village, and not leave the marked route. From the south entry, the route is S.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Walker signs rural teacher loan bill in Rice Lake

MADISON, Wis. (AP)—Gov. Scott Walker has signed a bill that gives rural teachers a break on their student loans. The measure forgives 25 percent of state Higher Education Board loans annually as long as the teacher doesn’t work in an urban area. The governor signed the bill Thursday at the Rice Lake Area School District. Walker also signed a bill earlier Thursday authorizing the state to sell land to the city of Appleton for a Fox River visitor center. The Fox River Navigational System Authority will then lease the land from the city and build a visitor’s center on it. The governor signed the bill at a lock and dam in downtown Appleton.

Spots in Michigan see more snow in April than December GAYLORD, Mich. (AP)—Four spots in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula have already seen more snow in April than in all of December.

Marie. Alpena had the biggest difference in snow totals for April and December, with 21.8 inches of snow so far in April versus 10.3 inches in December.

HERTEL—The St. Croix Tribal Police Department, in an effort to help people get rid of unwanted and unused prescription medications, is inviting everyone to take advantage of the drug drop box located at the police department. The drug drop box is located in the entryway at the police department and is accessible 24/7. “A few years ago, we were fortunate enough to receive this drug drop box at no charge,” Police Chief Frank Taylor remarked. “It was given to us through the Native American Drug and Gang Initiative (NADGI), a task force comprised of tribal law enforcement officers from across the state of Wisconsin. The drug box is available to anyone wanting to drop off old prescription medications,” he continued. “This is a ‘no questions asked’ drop off site,” Taylor added. “Our goal isn’t to interrogate or seek out the people who use the site. The goal is to make sure that they have a safe place to dispose of prescription medications and to help make their homes safe by not having this stuff sitting around in the medicine cabinets, where misuse and abuse could occur,” Taylor said. The National Drug Enforcement Agency is sponsoring Drug Take-Back Day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 30. “The upcoming National Drug Take-Back Day is an opportunity for everyone to dispose of your unused medications, ointments, and lotions. “We do not accept needles, thermometers, IV bags, personal care products, aerosol cans, or liquid waste,” said Taylor. In a recent drug box clean-out, the Hertel department recovered more than 30 pounds of prescription pills, which were taken to an incinerator for destruction.

Happy birthday to me I really like cake. I’d rather have a piece of cake over a cookie any day. My birthday is in April and I usually make my own cake because if I don’t, I could end up with some odd concoction—baked by three candy freaks. The last time my boys made a cake for me was six years ago. They baked a cake with tiny pieces of colored candy mixed throughout called “fun fetti” – like confetti, except edible. The frosting was a store bought fluffy vanilla. They purchased two big fat number nine candles, so my cake said I was 99 years old—nice touch. To make it extra special, they crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and sprinkled the cake with the crumbs. They added gummy worms, M&Ms, chocolate kisses and leftover candy canes. It was quite possibly the sweetest cake ever made. This year I’m craving my mother’s favorite cake: chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. Nice and simple, but oh so good! Celebrate with me and make a treat that is sure to please your family and friends.

Mom’s chocolate birthday cake Adapted from the Food Network Magazine 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 1/2 cups boiling water 2 1/2 cups flour 2 cups sugar 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp salt 3 large eggs, at room temperature 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted 1/2 cup sour cream 1 Tbsp vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9-inchround cake pans with nonstick bakers cooking spray. Whisk cocoa powder and 1 1/2 cups boiling water in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, coconut oil, sour cream and vanilla and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the cocoa mixture in

a steady stream until just combined, then finish mixing with a rubber spatula. (The batter will be thin.) Divide the batter between the prepared pans and tap the pans against the counter to help the batter settle. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes onto the racks to cool completely. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level. Frost with cream cheese frosting.

What are we doing about rural poverty? LADYSMITH—What are we doing about rural poverty? And, how does poverty relate to health? Indianhead Community Action Agency (ICAA) Chief Executive Officer Dr. Pamela L. Guthman and other community action professionals spent the week of March 14 in Washington, D.C., speaking with policy makers and legislative aides about the increasing levels of poverty throughout the United States. Dr. Guthman provided education and advocated on behalf of the needs of Wisconsin’s rural communities, given the levels of increasing poverty among both seniors and children in Rusk, Sawyer, Burnett, Clark, Washburn, and Taylor counties. Consistently there is increasing poverty among our poorest counties in northwestern Wisconsin which are served by Indianhead Community Action Agency. 30 percent of NW Wis. children live in poverty Dr. Guthman notes, “It just is unacceptable to have 30 percent of our children living in rural poverty. Poverty is not a separate issue. It is tied to health disparities and inequities, compounded by an aging population, nearly 30 percent of whom are 65 years and older, compared to Dane county at 14 percent. “The health disparities are challenging enough,” she says. “But, add in the decline in workforce numbers and lack of a skilled workforce and there is a notable decimation of rural communities who no longer can adequately recruit and/or retain a younger workforce to replace the Baby Boomers, let alone provide community-based cares in home and other settings needed for the aging population. In addition, she adds, “one must consider the other health factors of decreased levels and opportunities for education, lack of sufficient wages, and substandard housing stock which is leading to an impending crisis in rural northwestern Wisconsin.” Poverty and health are closely related Dr. Guthman provided insight into how poverty is closely related to the determinants of health, citing Robert Wood Johnson’s information on how health outcomes are determined early on in one’s life trajectory pending access to safe, healthy housing, affordable and healthy food sources, education and resources, social support, and other related factors. The aging population’s needs bring its own critical issues to the forefront as home health, personal cares, and supportive services are not adequately funded to support preventive maintenance of the Baby Boomer generation, including Veterans. Critical infrastructure is needed to support the work of community action agencies who have focused on the root issues surrounding poverty and who work in collaborative partnerships to address community issues and needs as determined by community needs assessments (a strict federal requirement for nearly 50 years). In addition, federal regulations require the Board of Directors to be com-

prised of tripartite representation of low-income clients, community members, and public officials. This provides voice and opportunities for empowering families, individuals and communities to work together on approaches towards achieving self – sufficiency. The goal of community action is to provide resources to support the upward social economic mobility of clients by lifting them out of poverty. Poverty myths and stereotypes Guthman noted, “Unfortunately, there are some significant myths and perceptions/stereotypes regarding families and individuals in poverty. Some view poverty as an individual flaw and/ or personal fault, as if someone ‘signed up to be in poverty.’ This often promotes a presumption of people being less than honorable and not wanting to contribute to society to better themselves.” However, Guthman said research shows poverty is structurally implemented through policies that have unintended consequences distinguishing who is “in” or benefits in society vs. who is “out” or doesn’t benefit in society. Guthman suggests that when a person takes the time to listen to fellow community members and walk a day in their shoes, one can better understand there are many variables that cumulatively can be insurmountable leading someone or a family into a rapid crash course into poverty. A job loss, cancer, a disability, aging, mental illness, etc., can spiral one down into destitute poverty in a very short time period, and especially so if one is born or lives in a lower socio-economic area. Your zip code matters Guthman said, “Your zip code matters regarding equitable and fair access to resources and influences your overall health outcomes. If you grew up in poverty, your friends and family, and social acquaintances tend to be within the same socio-economic level.” Guthman asks, “What are we doing as community members, besides pointing fingers and blaming? Are we as community members offering to help mentor, support, provide opportunities and connections so as to give someone in poverty a new opportunity, insight, and/or empower them to believe in themselves when society’s attitude and policies suggest they are the ones to blame?” Guthman suggests people must come together to discuss the issues around poverty, in a manner where there is respect and willingness to explore the root issues of poverty. “We must challenge ourselves to explore individualistic blame stereotypes versus inquiring how structural norms and polices suppress people trying to reach self-sufficiency. “In order for us to re-engage those who have left the workforce, and/or to provide fair, equitable resources based upon needs, we need to have an honest, frank, and respectful discussion about poverty for the health and financial stability of our rural community friends, family, and colleagues throughout our state and nation as a whole.”

The ACLU and the national homeless center have continued to argue, however, that voters who face stiff hurdles in getting a photo ID should be allowed to vote by affidavit. They say those voters include people who can’t obtain IDs because of name mismatches or other errors in birth certificates, or other necessary documents; those who need a credential from another agency such as the Social Security Administration that they can’t get without a state photo ID; or those who need a document that no longer exists. Judges Michael Kanne, Frank Easterbrook and Diane Sykes wrote Tuesday that Adelman must consider those arguments and sent the case back to him.

been determined if those deaths were caused by the infection or other serious pre-existing health problems. Gov. Scott Walker said Friday that when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health officials could not find the source of the outbreak on their own, they went to the public. “They’d been working with individuals—patients and their families, and obviously with health care providers— so those individuals were aware of it. “But, when it was clear that CDC raised their concerns, then that’s when they wanted it to be out to the public,’’ Walker said. In a statement, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services said it reacted quickly to the initial reports of a potential outbreak and launched an investigation to determine the cause, but wanted to avoid alarming the public. “This outbreak has proven to be very unique and complex, and our disease detectives have yet to find the source of the bacteria, which limits the directives we can offer the public related to prevention,’’ the department said. “This was a rare situation in which we recognized that releasing information without being able to offer any direction on how to avoid it, would inspire fear among the public.’’ The source of the outbreak remains unknown, but the department says there is no indication it was spread by a health care facility. Most of the infected patients are over 65 years old, and all have a history of at least one underlying serious illness.

New home to mountain-bikers BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Mountain bikers will now have a new place to recreate east of Webster following action at the county’s natural resource committee meeting last week. The momentum from the discussion between the Lake Country Pedalers (LCP) and the county of developing a bike route in the Keizer Lake Wildlife Area has led to a Memo Of Understanding (MOU) between the two. In essence, the MOU will allow the LCP to construct and maintain three miles of bicycle trails and two primitive campsites on county forest land. Future trail miles and campsites will be considered as the group requests. The county will work with LCP to review and locate future potential miles as requested. “The main spine of the trail system would be multi-use, snowmobiles and bikes, but the single tracks off the main trail would be mountain-bikes only,” Jake Nichols, forestry administrator, explained to committee members. “We will have to work between the wetlands out there to see what we can accomplish trail-building wise.” But, that met some resistance. “I’d prefer it to stay ‘silent,’” Ed Peterson, committee chairman, said. For now, however, it will remain a multi-use trail. “We want this MOU to be a three

year trial,” Nichols said. “We want to bring the whole issue back in three years and see how it is working.” In other business: • “The beginning of 2016 has probably been the slowest year for timber sale activity that I’ve seen in my 18 years with the county,” Nichols reported. “Currently we have two active timber sales, where normally in the spring we have 10-15 going at a time — this is due to a few different reasons including poor markets, road bans, and wet conditions.” That level of work will now change following Thursday’s timber sale bid opening. Thirteen logging companies spent $681,000 buying the logging rights to 1,144 acres of Burnett County Forest. It was a far greater bid opening than what Nichols expected. “These are some excellent numbers — better than I thought,” he reasoned. “The markets are down right now so I’m sure that played a big part.” • Rec officer Ryan Bybee reported the 2015-16 snowmobile season was the slowest he’s experienced since he’s been the county’s rec officer. “We did meet our reimbursement requirements,” he remarked. While awaiting the official start of the ATV season at the end of May, Bybee said he has been busy recruiting part time summer help at UW-Stevens Point. SUBMITTED

Pirate boys win Siren Invite BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The Grantsburg boys track team came out the gate fast and never looked back in cruising to first place finish at the Siren High School Invite Thursday night. “We had a great night at Siren,” coach Brad Nelson complimented. “We had some first place finishes and a lot of new personal records.” Kyle Fagnan won the 100 meter dash in a time of 12.68, running mate Jared Peltier won the 400 meter run event by posting a time of 57.16 and the 4X800 team of Chris Hermann, Joseph Ohnstad, Spencer Louis and Camilo Volkmann crossed the line in 9.37:39, winning the event. Second place finishes went to the 4X400 team of Gauge Premo-Blume,

Josh Curtin, Kevin Vollendorf and Peltier in a time of 4:00.13, Austin Olson in the 300 meter hurdles, in a time of 49.65, Nate McKinley and Hermann (third) in the 800 meter run in times of 2:23.36 and 2:23.71, respectively, and Volkmann in the 1600 meter run in a time of 5:24.60. “We had some surprise wins by Kyle Fagnan in the 100m dash and Jared Peltier in the 400m dash,” the coach noted. “But we are seeing that we have a really solid team all around and that is making us much more competitive.” So much so he is already looking to later in May. “Obviously we are early in the season, but we are expecting to see some solid performance at the Conference and Regional meets,” he remarked. The boys side of the Siren Drag-

Tigers split a pair

ons track squad took fifth in its own meet. “An amazing night in Siren,” coach Wayne Koball reflected. “We set some goals for ourselves to run smarter, and we did exactly that.” Not surprisingly, the Dragons were led by the strength of its throwing events — the shot put and the discus. Tanner Lee and Keenan Cook were 1-2 in the discus with throws of 132-10 and 124-5, respectively. Lee and Noah Koball went 1-3 in the shot put with throws of 44-0.5 and 38-4.5, respectively. Seniors Josiah Wegner and Neil Oustigoff scored seconds in the long jump and high jump, with jumps of 18-9.25 and 5-8, respectively. Oustigoff also earned a third place finish in the 300 meter hurdles in a time of 50:13. The 4X200 meter relay team of Derek Highstrom, Dolan Highstrom, Oustigoff and Cook finished second in a time of 1:45.77.

Girls The Lady Pirates, behind a strong showing from their distance runners, were able to finish second. Gracie Gerber won the 1600 meter run in a time of 6:11.68 while teammates Hallie Jensen and Ericka Erickson were 1-2 in the 3200 meter run with times of 13:03.28 and 13:29.73, respectively. Gerber earned a third place finish in the 800 meter run, crossing the line in 2:43.83. But the sprinters didn’t let their counterparts hold them back. Delia Labatt, 13.55, and Linda Harmon, 29.90, each finished second in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Erickson won the 300 meter hurdles event in a time of 55.04, Harmon was second in the triple TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

Knutson medalist at Clear Lake CLEAR LAKE—Seemingly picking up where he left off at the end of the 2015 golf season, Grantsburg’s Jordan Knutson earned medalist honors as he shot an even-par 36 at the Clear Lake Golf Club on Thursday. Despite the best score of the afternoon, Knutson and the Pirates as a whole finished third behind the winning co-op team from Frederic/Luck and runners-up, another co-op team, from Webster/Siren. “Jordan played very consistent — he hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens (in regulation),” coach John Addison noted. “The rest of the team struggled on some of the basics.” In fact, the second and third place finishers for the Pirates, Jared Lee and Joey Duncan, each carded a 54, almost 20 shots more than Knutson. Shane Tooze shot a 64 and Paul

Mackean opened and closed with a 10 on the first and last hole, carding a 65 for the day. “Cody Glonek, playing his first JV match ever, played very well,” Addison praised. “For never having played competitive golf and just picking up the game Jordan Knutson last year, I was very impressed — h k a lot l t off steps in the right he ttook direction” The winner of the season’s first conference match went to Frederic/Luck. “They were tough last year and this year they are even better,” Addison observed. “But if Joey and Jared step up and play the way I know they can, we’ll be good com-

petition for them.” Thursday’s was the first match for the resurrected Webster/Siren team. “I was pleasantly surprised by our results from Thursday — Tate and Alexi shot very well at Clear Lake,” coach Mat Wood commented. “I am excited to see continued improvement from our number three, four and five golfers as they learn how to play competitive golf.” As the coach alluded, seniors Tate Fohrenkamm and Alexi Gloodt led the way for the team, shooting 41 and 45, respectively. Alec Ralph and Brett Johnson carded a 58 and 62, respectively while Connor Raschke shot a 65 — troubled with a pair of 10s on the 7th and 8th holes. Only the top four scores are included in the team score. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel Sports

SPOONER—The Webster Tigers split a pair of games last Thursday and Friday, beating Siren 15-1, but then taking it on the chin to Spooner, 12-5. “We didn’t put ourselves in a hole today,” said Coach Jarrod Washburn. “We got some hits and took advantage of the opportunities given us.” “We’re playing our guys at different positions,seeing what they can do. Paul Sargent was catcher today and he did a pretty good job.” The Tigers got one run across in the first inning. Jack Washburn doubled and came home on a ground out by Austin Spafford. The barn doors opened in the second when eight runs came across. The inning was highlighted by two consecutive doubles by Paul Sargent and Jordy Larson. After a run in the fourth, Webster had five more score in the fifth. A hit batsman, three walks a fielder’s choice and a single pushed the runners across. Siren got their only run in the second inning. Ben Lemieux walked and moved to third on two wild pitches. He scored on a ground out. Dragon coach Jon Ruud had praise for his team. “We improved since the last game (Shell Lake). We made fewer errors and mistakes. Our team is young with only a few having played baseball recently, and then some a few years ago along with the brand new players. We will be the most improved team in the conference this season.” Jack Washburn got the win for the Tigers and Ben Lemieux took the loss.

Spooner de-rails Tigers

“As far as the Spooner game, there is not much to comment on,” said Coach Jarrod Washburn. “We started the game strong jumping out to a 4-1 lead heading into the bottom of the third. Then the wheels fell off in the bottom half of that inning. We made a couple errors, walked a few batters and gave up quite a few hits to give up nine runs. That was a hole we just couldn’t climb out of and ended up on the losing end 12-5.” “Offensively we had chances with plenty of base runners but just couldn’t get the big hit to get us back in.” Taran Wols was top hitter for the Tigers, going two for four, scoring a run with one RBI. Jordy Larson, Trevor Gustafson and Caleb Pardun were pitchers of record for the Tigers.

Even though the Lady Dragons finished third, it was the Ashlee Rightman night. “Ashlee pulled in three first place finishes which is awesome,” Koball praised. “She is competing smarter than ever, using her mind to make great choices in her events.” She won the high jump, long jump and triple jump with efforts of 4-10, 15-0.5 and 31-6.5, respectively. She was followed closely in the high jump by Abby Kosloski with a second place finish of 4-4 and in the long jump by Alexa Buskirk with a second place jump of 14.6.25. “Alexa is yet another example of our strong freshman class — we have yet to see what she is capable of,” Koball declared. The 4X100 meter relay team of Jade Horstman, Kayla Eideh, Laurel Kannenberg and Buskirk crossed the line in 57.64, good for second place. The 4X200 meter relay team of Abby Good, Rightman, Buskirk and Kosloski also finished second in a time of 2:06.78. Julia Cederberg and Aubri Larson finished 3-4 for the Dragons in the discus, with throws of 80-2 and 76-9, respectively.

CUMBERLAND—“We were awful on defense tonight” commented Pirate coach Pete Johnson following a 12-3 defeat to the Shell Lake Lakers. “Jackson (Gerber) did well with his bat. He needed a home run to hit for the cycle, but Babe Ruth would have struggled to hit one out in tonight’s wind.” “We will continue to juggle positions and players to see what will work best.” Each team scored a run in the first inning. With one out in the inning,Gerber hit a double. Dakota Schultz and Zach Tebow each had singles to get him home. The Lakers scored six in their half of the third and the Pirates could only manage one in that frame. An error enabled Magel Schmaltz to get to first. Gerber also got on board via an error. Two ground outs brought Schmaltz home. But, the Pirates still trailed 7-2. Shell Lake put two more across in the fourth, a single run in the fifth and two more in the seventh. Grantsburg scored one in the seventh. Schmaltz got to first on a fielder’s choice. Gerber then tripled him home. Gerber was three for four from the plate.

PRAIRIE FARM—After a slow start, the Tigers clawed back and scored 10 runs in the sixth inning and beat Prairie Farm 11-6 in a game played last Tuesday. “Tyler Hansen kept us off balance for five innings as Prairie Farm led 5-0 going into the fifth inning,” said the Webster coaching staff. The Panthers scored three runs in the first inning and one each in the second and third to lead 5-0. Webster scratched out a run in the top of the fifth. Jordy Larson singled and Jack Washburn doubled to put two men on base. Two

batters later, Caleb Pardun singled home Larson. Prairie Farm came back with a run in the bottom of the inning to maintain a 6-1 advantage. “The flood gates opened up in the top of the sixth as Webster scored 10 runs against three different pitchers as the Prairie Farm pitchers struggled throwing strikes. Paul Sargent singled followed by a walk to Larson. An error got Washburn on board. Three straight walks were given up by Panther’s pitching to Brad Sigfrids, Caleb Pardun and Trenton Wols. Austin Spafford singled with Trevor Gustafson, Taran Wols, Sargent and Larson following up

with walks. Washburn singled, Sigfrids walked and the next batter struck out to end the inning. Larson came on to pitch the last inning, holding the Panthers scoreless. The game was called after six innings due to darkness. All Webster starters got at least one hit. Sargent and Larson each had two. Washburn got three RBI’s with Pardun garnering two. Paul Sargent got the win, hurling for three and two-thirds innings. Chase Hansen took the loss for the Panthers.

Tigers top rival Pirates BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER— “It was a good game between two pretty even teams,” said Pirate coach Pete Johnson following Webster’s 7-4 win on Monday night. “The difference was that Webster came up with the clutch hits, getting all of their runs with two outs.” Said Jarrod Washburn, Webster coach, “We were able to battle back against a tough Grantsburg team

after falling behind by three runs early. I’m very proud of the boys for never giving up and battling until the end. All seven runs we got in this one came with rallies that started with two outs and no one on base so that’s a testament to our ‘never quit’ attitude. We didn’t hit the ball great but did have some huge hits at the right times.” The Pirates got one in the second inning.

Catcher interference got Spafford on board. Washburn singled and Taran Wols walked.

Tucker, Miller home runs win it for the Pirates BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—Olivia Tucker hit a two run home run in the fourth inning and Megan Miller a solo shot in the sixth to lead the Grantsburg Pirates softball team to a 12-2 win over the Cumberland Beavers last Tuesday night. Tucker’s blast ignited the Pirate fourth inning, paving the way for seven runs scored. Grantsburg had scored two runs each in the first and second inning. In the first inning, Briena Jensen walked and Cassidy Quimby was hit by a pitch. Jordyn McKenzie got on via an error and Miller followed with a ground out to get two runs across. Maddie Duncan walked in the second inning with Rhiana Pochman sacrificing her to second. MacKenna Johnson walked and Tucker followed with a two run double. In the meantime, Tucker was on the mound for the Pirates and recorded 12 strike outs in the four innings she pitched, allowing no Beavers on base. Cassidy Chenal took over the pitching duties in the fifth and allowed two runs on four hits in her debut. With the score 11-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Grantsburg needed just one more run to finish the game and Miller supplied that as she was the first batter of the inning. The Pirates finished with 12 runs on six hits and walked six times. Tucker was two for three with four RBI’s. Miller had two RBI’s. Cumberland had two runs on four hits, all singles, and walked twice.

WISCONSIN SPORTS BRIEF Bucks step back on court, but future secure with new arena

ST. FRANCIS, Wis. (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks took one step back on the court while taking a big step forward off of it. The team’s future in Milwaukee is secure. Groundbreaking is set for June on a new downtown arena that is scheduled to open by the 2018-19 season. The hope is that there will be a winning product on the floor long before then. The Bucks finished 33-49, an eight-game slide from the 2014-15 season. Instead of making a surprise run to the playoffs, Milwaukee never recovered to become a serious threat the improved Eastern Conference after a sputtering to a 7-13 start. “Was there some disappointment that we didn’t more games? That was also true, but I think guys are excited about the future,” general manager John Hammond said Thursday. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker, both 21, turned into dunking machines. Coach Jason Kidd gave ball-handling responsibilities to Antetokounmpo after the All-Star break and the 6-foot-11 forward had five triple-doubles over the last two months of the season. If Antetokounmpo and Parker weren’t dunking or driving the lane, they were often trying to find the other guy for an alley-oop. It made for highlight-reel stuff while the team wasn’t really in serious playoff consideration down the stretch. “I didn’t think we’d make the playoffs last year, so you sort of feel like we’ve taken a step backwards,” co-owner Marc Lasry said before the 97-92 loss to Indiana in the season finale on Tuesday. “Hopefully next year, we’re going to take a couple steps forward and ... if you sort of look at this, we have a phenomenal young core.”

Former NFL, Badgers player arrested again ELKHORN, Wis. (AP) — Former NFL and Badgers running back Montee Ball has posted bond following a weekend arrest in southern Wisconsin. Ball was taken into custody Saturday in Walworth County where he was accused of violating terms of his bond on battery and disorderly conduct charges. Police were called to a Whitewater bar where witnesses said he was drinking. His bond conditions prohibit him from drinking or being in a bar. Felony charges accuse Ball of grabbing the neck of a former girlfriend and hitting her at a Madison hotel in 2014. Ball denies the allegations. The former Denver Bronco also faces misdemeanor charges in connection with another domestic abuse incident involving a different woman in February. She alleges Ball threw her into a table.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirate girls kept the ball rolling as they defeated Shell Lake 10-0 and Osceola 15-0 last Thursday and Friday respectively. After a scoreless first inning, Grantsburg scored four in the second. Britta Roufs and Claire Palmquist each singled. Rhiana Pochman sacrificed them forward. After a fly out, Mackenna Johnson walked, Olivia Tucker and Briena Jensen both singled. In the third inning, Megan Miller singled and Roufs got on via an error. Pochman singled and all runners moved up on a wild pitch. A single run in the fourth and two in the fifth completed the scoring. Olivia Tucker, Megan Miller and Britta Roufs were all two for four from the plate. Tucker scored three runs and had two RBI’s. Miller and Roufs each scored twice. Tucker pitched five innings, striking out 11. Alaina Oachs hurled one inning.

Pirates thinclads second at Webster meet BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—It was obvious it was early in the outdoor season when Webster hosted a cold, windy and snowy track meet last Tuesday afternoon — Siren, Grantsburg and the host team each excelled in different areas of the meet. That said, Grantsburg did score second place finishes in both the boys and girls competition. On the boys side, the Pirates took first place honors in the 100 meter dash, Kyle Fagman, 12.96, the 800 meter run, Camilo Volkmann, 2:19.43, the 300 meter hurdles, Austin Olson, 54.79, and the 4X100 meter relay team of Gauge Premo-Blume, Kevin Vollendorf, Andy Hartshorn and Volkmann, 50.64. “We had a really good meet, considering the weather and that it was our first outdoor meet of the season,” Brad Nelson, Grantsburg coach, observed. “We did really well in some areas, while there were some rough patches, but overall we’re very happy with our performance.” Team members scored several second, third and fourth place finishes during Tuesday’s meet. “We won a few races and were very competitive in placing high in a few others,” Nelson continued. “This really gives us a reference for the next few weeks to see where our strengths and weaknesses are and get kids moved to where they are the most competitive.” The Webster Tigers finished in the middle of the seven teams at the meet, led by their distance runners. Andrew Ruiz scored firsts in both the 1600 meter and 3200 meter runs, 4.58:62 and 11.05:47, respectively, as well as being a member of the first place 4X800 meter relay team along with Joey Formanek, Darrick Nelson, and Mason Schaaf, 9.16.73 “The kids performed quite well despite not only having to battle their competitors, but had to battle the elements as well,” Max Anderson, Webster coach, remarked. “They overcame the conditions

and had some great performances under the circumstances.” Like the Pirates, the Tigers had numerous finished in the top four. The Siren Dragons were right behind the Tigers, finishing fifth on the afternoon. While the Dragons had a number of second-place finishes in the relay events, their only first belonged to Tanner Lee in the discus, 126-0. “Tanner bettered his discus performance — another tribute to the magic that is Mr. Larson’s (assistant coach Rick Larson) shot/disc coaching,” Wayne Koball, Dragon coach praised. “We came out of Tuesday’s meet with some personal records (PR’s) — Jason Peterson, our young freshman distance runner, showed real promise.”

Girls Like their counterparts, the Lady Pirates also brought home second place honors, although their strong suit seemed to be a little bit of everything. Firsts went to Delia Labatt in the 100 meter dash, 13.45, Gracie Gerber in the 3200 meter run, 13.24:63 and the 4X800 meter relay team of Violet Ohnstad, Ericka Erickson, Hallie Jensen and Gerber, 11.11:31.

“We are seeing ourselves become more competitive as a team now that we are bigger and can fill out nearly all the various events,” Nelson reported. Like the boys team, the Lady Tigers also finished the day in the middle of the pack but unlike the Pirates, their firsts came from the field events perspective. Sadie Koelz was first in the vault, 8-6, a foot higher than her nearest competitor, and Kaitlyn Moser, first in the shot put, 32-1.5. “Kaitlyn continued her trend of great throwing performances with a win in shot put, a personal best throw in the discus and Sadie won the pole vault — she continues to vault well,” Anderson noted. “With the slick conditions those were some great feats.” For the Dragons, Ashlee Rightman was the lone first place finisher in the high jump, 4-8, although she strung together second place efforts in the triple jump, 30-2, and the long jump, 14-6.75. “Ashlee Rightman performed well, being smart with her jumps and efforts across the board,” Koball pointed out.

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

Prince is an orange and white, longhaired, four-year-old cat that was recently surrendered due to allergies in his family. I didn’t quite know what to think of this guy when I first met him, as he tried to hide in his litterbox in the back of his condo. Prince was very scared of his new environment, with all the barking from his room mates. Prince He wasn’t really showing signs of wanting to be handled, but tolerated my gentle touch. Fast-forward to two weeks later. Prince has been moved to our popular and spacious Bailey dog kennel (c onver te d to a cat kennel) and he’s a totally different cat. My next visit was well received. Prince meowed to welcome me when I sat right next to him as he lounged on his cat tower, anticipating some attention. Once I made contact with him, he rolled around to get the right angle for the best scratching. If I stopped at any point, he nudged me with his nose. Prince is a real beauty! (Can I say that about a boy cat?) He also loves being brushed, which is needed with his sleek long hair. I really enjoyed visiting with Prince this time around, and think he’d be a great companion for anyone looking to adopt. I’ve featured 11-month-old Bailey before, but hadn’t really gotten to know him well. While I was trying to say hello to a newcomer to our shelter (Ollie) on the third level of the cat condos, I noticed two outstretched paws come through the bars of the condo below. Lo and behold, it was Bailey trying to reach for me. (I can never resist this maneuver.) I opened Bailey’s door and he eagerly climb into my arms for some oneon-one cuddling. What a nice boy and little sweetie! Although Bailey wasn’t as eager to go back into his condo as he was to come out, he didn’t put up too much resistance. I could have held Bailey for much longer, but had other animals to see. I would highly recommend this fellow as an addition to any family. Plus, he likes dogs! The Humane Society Spaghetti Dinner fund raiser is fast approaching, set for 4-7 p.m. Saturday, April 30. There still are raffle tickets available for a chance at some fabulous prizes ($1,000 for first place). Also we’re accepting new, donated silent auction items. Following the Spaghetti Dinner, the next fund raiser is the Plant Sale from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 28. Proceeds from both these events benefit our shelter. To find out more information, go to our website or give us a call! If you are interested in adopting any of the animals from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

ST. CROIX FALLS—Beautiful temperatures greeted approximately 300 cyclists who came to ride the 5th Annual Mammoth Gravel Classic (MGC) last Saturday. The MGC is among the first of the spring gravel rides that have exploded in popularity over the last few years. Sponsored by CyclovaXC and the Woolly Bicycle Club, the MGC represents the largest single day of state trail pass sales for Polk County. Riders were able to choose between routes of 30, 70, and 100 miles. A southerly wind assisted riders through the first part of the course as they traveled north on River Road and to the sand barrens. There, riders encountered deep powder sand which required significant bike handling skills to navigate. After traversing the Barrens, riders proceeded to Grantsburg for a tour of Crex Meadows, then meandered East until intersecting the Gandy Dancer State trail north of Siren for the return trip. Riders doing the 30-mile course did an out and back on the Gandy Dancer. Businesses along the trail were pleased by the influx of cyclists. The barista at the Wren Cafe in Luck reported two lines of cyclists stretching outside the door and around the back of the building. The sheer number of cyclists working up an appetite gives a great boost to the area’s food service industry for the day. Among participants was Dan Woll, the celebrated author of “North of High-

way 8.” Woll has done bicycle events all over the United States and is no stranger to exploring northern Wisconsin. Just the same, Woll was stunned to discover so many great roads for cycling along the MGC route that he had never known about.

In his opinion, the course was beautiful enough that a business could be made of offering guided tours of the route throughout the summer. The MGC is one of the top events for showcasing the St. Croix Valley as a tourist destination. The majority of participants made the drive from Minnesota, but some came from as far as Iowa. Many stay for several days and some could be overheard planning return trips even before the ride had ended. The Gandy Dancer was in good shape overall, but there were a few sections where Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) vandalism had left major ruts in the trail. Riding on the Gandy when the conditions are wet causes the tires to sink into the mud, and cyclists are diligent about not riding in those conditions. It is important to emphasize that the Gandy is a non-motorized trail and illicit ORV use can be extremely detrimental to the value of the trail as a tourist destination. Overall, the 5th annual Mammoth Gravel Classic was a great success. The weather cooperated, and riders delighted in enjoying in summertime temperatures after a long, cold winter. The MGC is looking forward to bringing even more tourists to the St. Croix Valley in upcoming years.

OBITUARIES

Ancell Hi A Highstrom h t Ancel Merle Highstrom, 96, o of New Richmond and formerly o of Siren, passed away Saturday, A April 16. Services for Ancel will be h held at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 221 at First Baptist Church of N New Richmond, followed by a llight lunch. After the service a and lunch, interment will be a at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 21 at L Lakeview Mudhen Lake Cemetery, located six miles west of Siren on Hwy 70. Ancel will be interred next to Ruth, his wife of sixty years. Ancel was born in 1919 at Gloster, Mississippi, to Alex and Agnes Highstrom. Soon afterward, the family moved north to New London, MN for several years. When Ancel was nine, they moved to Burnett County. There the two parents and eight children, struggling through the depression, lived in a variety of houses around the village of Siren. In June of 1943, Ancel married a neighbor and childhood sweetheart, Ruth Tjader. He was home on an eight-day leave from the Army before shipping out to Italy. Ancel served in the U.S. 5th Army, 91st Infantry Division in the Italian campaigns, 3rd Mortar Squadron, 3rd Platoon Co M. Fighting in Italy over the next two years, he saw heavy action and was wounded three times. His WWII experiences would shape his personality for the rest of his life. Post war, Ancel and Ruth began a life together, having children and trying to make a living. He formed a business partnership with his childhood buddy, Gordon Tjader, who happened to be the brother of his wife, Ruth. Gordy was married to Ancel’s sister, Della. The business, Tjader and Highstrom, formed by two Tjaders and two Highstroms, would prosper over the years, first as a tree trimming company and eventually as a construction firm to bury underground cable. Today it centers out of New Richmond and operates throughout western Wisconsin. Ancel was a spiritual man whose deep faith influenced all he ever did or said. His life passions were numerous: his wife and kids, his friends, travel, his business, his lake home in Siren. He loved birds, flowers and yardwork, playing harmonica, his Swedish relatives, his war buddies, the deer shack, his cars, First Baptist Church, playing games, climbing trees, his bond with beloved daughter Kay, and especially doing things with his grandchildren. He is survived by his five children: Rick (Joyce) Highstrom of Siren, Lynn (Bump) Peterson of New Richmond, Mark of Napa, CA, Lori (Don) Stephens of Hudson, and Kay of Hudson. Surviving also are his sister, Della Tjader of New Richmond and sister- in- law, Gerlyn Erichsen of Siren, 12 grandchildren scattered about the country, several great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

April 20, 2016 DOUGLAS COUNTY 1313 BELKNAP STREET SUPERIOR WISCONSIN 715-395-1380 On or about April 28, 2016, Douglas County as lead county for the Northwest Regional Housing Program comprising Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor and Washburn Counties will submit a request to the Wisconsin Department of Administration - Division of Housing for the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as Community Development Block Grant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Small Cities Housing Program, for the purpose of establishing a housing rehabilitation loan program to conserve, rehabilitate, and improve residential property occupied by low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents in the Northwest Regional Housing Program area. The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at the Douglas County Zoning Administrator's office, 1313 Belknap Avenue, Room 206, Superior, and the Burnett County Clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, 7410 County Road K #105, Siren, and may be examined or copied weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Douglas County, 1313 Belknap Street, Room 206, Superior WI 54880. All comments received by April 28, 2016, will be considered by Douglas County prior to submission of a request for release of funds. RELEASE OF FUNDS Douglas County certifies to the Wisconsin Department of Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Division of Housing that Douglas Finn in his capacity as County Board Chair consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and allows Douglas County to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS The State of Wisconsin, Department of Administration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Division of Housing will accept objections to its release of funds and Douglas Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certification for a period of 15 days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certified Officer of Douglas County; (b) Douglas County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the State of Wisconsin; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to Wisconsin Department of Administration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Division of Housing at PO Box 7970, Madison, WI 53707-7970. Objections to the release of funds on any basis other than those stated above will not be considered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Division of Housing. Objections received after May 13, 2016, will not be considered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Division of Housing and Community Development.

APRIL 20, 2016

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

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

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

Honor flight World War II veteran Gene Gronlund of Grantsburg took part in an honor flight Saturday, April 16 to visit memorials in Washington, D.C. His daughter, Janet Hayne, accompanied him. “Among the best parts of the 20-hour trip was the magnificent greeting the vets got upon their return to Minneapolis,” Hayne exclaimed. “Soldiers in dress uniform saluted, a bagpipe band played and hundreds of folks lining the terminal clapped, cheered and waved flags to honor the vets.”
