Wildland ﬁres all over Burnett County JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY—There were multiple wildfires and structure fires across the county this weekend. Of the six fires reported, two were structural and four were wildland or grass fires. All were contained and no injuries

were reported. “Well the one was started by a bear,” Siren Fire Chief Tony Dalsveen said. “He climbed the power pole and got zapped, must have been smoking, because he hit the ground and started the debris on fire.” That was a fire on Jackson Road just north of Lewis near the Polk/Burnett

county line. Then on Saturday morning there was a fire on Polanksi Road in Siren. Dalsveen said that one was probably started by an outdoor burning pit that got out of control. Dalsveen added that his department assisted on a house fire call with the Webster Fire Department for a fire just north of Airport Road in Meenon.

“We were called by the property owner and they stated they were having issues with the lights. Then when we got there we noticed the building was on fire,” said Webster Fire Chief Allen Steiner. This fire started Sunday night SEE FIRES, PAGE 2

be considered. This work is part of a larger two year project to reconstruct seven miles of I-35. The first stage of the 2018 project is to construct seven miles of northbound I-35 pavement and the northbound I-35 Snake River Bridge. The second stage is to construct seven miles of southbound I-35 pavement.

BURNETT COUNTY—Susan J. Wood, 60, Webster, has been charged with 25 counts of forgery and one count of theft of movable property between $2,500 and $5,000. She allegedly wrote out checks to herself and signed them as her ex-husband. According to the criminal complaint, Elvin Wood of Webster went to the Sheriff’s office in March and explained how he was notified by his bank that he had written several checks to his ex-wife Susan. Elvin told Sheriff’s Deputy Mikal Anton that he is the sole name on the account and that nobody else has permission to write checks on his account. Elvin got copies of the checks from his bank and a large majority of them were written to his ex-wife Susan. Susan and Elvin filed for divorce in November of 2017 and it was finalized in February. The checks were allegedly forged and written from Dec. 20, 2017 through March 6, 2018.

Run, Run, Run for Reading Grantsburg Middle School held their annual Run for Reading event on Saturday which included a 5K Run/Walk as well as a one-mile Fun Run. Several kids and adults turned out on a cold morning to help raise funds to supply students with books to read over the summer months.

Construction has begun on I-35 in Pine City AILENE CROUP AND MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM

Motorists traveling on I-35 in the Pine City area found single lane closures started last week. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) reports that restrictions will impact both northbound and southbound traffic as crews work to construct bypasses and ramp crossovers in the median of I-35.

Congestion and traffic delays can be expected on a seven mile stretch of I-35 south of the Snake River Bridge. Single lane closures from now until the end of May will allow for the construction of cross over lanes. From June until October, motorists will be restricted to two lane, two way traffic while the road and bridge work is underway. Backups can be expected during peak travel times and alternate routes should

FIRES: Burnett County remains at ‘high risk’ for wildland ﬁres CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

around 11 p.m. There were two structures on the property and the fire began in the southern building. Then the wind pushed it through that building across a patch of grass between the buildings and started the second building on fire. Steiner said there were no injuries. Webster Fire Department also responded to a wildland fire in Webster on Sunday afternoon. Steiner said this fire was contained to a small area. The DNR has yet to release a cause for this fire. There was a corn field fire on Fish Lake Road in Grantsburg on Monday evening that was a controlled burn that quickly got out of control. Grantsburg Fire Department was called to the scene around 7:30 p.m. “The property owners had planned to burn a small corner of their corn field,” said Grantsburg Fire Chief Cory Barnette. “They lit it when there was no wind and then when the wind picked up it was off to the races.” Barnette said with the help of neighbors, a fire break was built with a skid loader and the fire was quickly contained. Then his crew went through the field to put out all the hotspots. When they left two hours later the field was completely doused and there was nothing smoking.

DNR warnings On Tuesday morning Governor Scott Walker signed Executive Order #287 in response to wildfire conditions in Wisconsin. “We are taking a precautionary measure in order to protect our state,” said

The DNR said they had responded to 25 wildfires on Saturday and 43 on Sunday mostly caused by debris burning. Their website says there have been 138 wildfires in Wisconsin over the past week. Burnett County is no longer on red flag warning, but the county is still designated as an area of “high risk” of wildland fires starting. DNR fire officials recently brought in two contracted tanker planes with foam-dropping capability for quickstrike initial attack and currently are stationed in Necedah. Those planes were used in large fire at the Bruce Mound sports area in Clark County. The tanker planes made several successful dumps on the fire that was partially on very steep terrain. The fire burned almost 90 acres of land in Merrillan. On Monday the DNR announced several counties south of Burnett were still under the red flag warning and expected the wildfires to continue across western Wisconsin. Barnette, Dalsveen and Steiner were all busy over the weekend and were hopeful that the trend ends soon. “They’re coming in two by two and that’s a lot for our department to handle,” Dalsveen said. “At all times people need to be cautious, especially in the early spring,” Steiner said. “People are always surprised how quickly a small fire can turn into a big fire. Then they’re shocked with how fast it spreads. It’s important to be very careful with any kind of burning outside.”

Governor Walker. “By taking this step we are ensuring that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has the tools to combat the spread of any wildfires. We appreciate the tireless efforts of the DNR, the Wisconsin National Guard, and Wisconsin Emergency Management in working together to protect Wisconsin families.” The Wisconsin DNR along with the National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for 10 counties, including Burnett, in western Wisconsin over the weekend. The department cancelled all burn permits over the weekend and instructed people to not have campfires, fireworks or any outdoor cooking. According to the DNR, this warning is issued when a variety of weather factors come together to create especially dangerous wildland fire conditions. Warm temperatures, low humidity, high winds and exceptionally dry fuels are anticipated and can result in catastrophic fires. “As a result, the Wisconsin DNR is prohibiting all burning with DNR-issued burning permits and is asking the public to be especially careful with any activities that could potentially lead to a wildland fire,” the DNR said in a press release. “Campfires, outdoor grills, smoking, chainsaws, off-road vehicles or other small engines have the potential to throw a spark and ignite a dangerous and destructive fire. Please use extreme caution during these unusually dangerous conditions.” Other counties on the warning list were Vernon, La Crosse, Trempealeau, Buffalo, Pepin, Dunn, Pierce, St. Croix and Polk counties.

Long live rock?

Rock ‘n’ roll has jumped the shark and is now flopping around on the deck. It is begging to be nudged/kicked back into the water or gutted, cleaned and cooked on the grill. Pete Townsend of The Who wrote “Long Live Rock” in 1979 as a response to punk rock, but it is much more relevant today. Punk rock was never a true threat to rock ‘n’ roll, but hip hop is. And let me say, I miss the old Kanye West (it can be very difficult to separate the art for the artist.) Last month Kendrick Lamar became the first non-jazz or classical musician to win a pulitzer prize. Bob Dylan has one, but that’s for “Special Award and Citation” not the actual Pulitzer. The Pulitzer Prize website describes Lamar’s 2017 album as “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and Sentinel rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing Editor the complexity of modern AfriJonathan Richie can-American life.” I am writing this as someone who primarily listens to music that was recorded before I was born, most of my favorite musicians are dead or over the age of 60. But once I started listening to hip hop I fell in love with that genre as well. But this is about rock. Guitar Center (who once tried taking $200 from me for a single crash cymbal) is reportedly facing imminent bankruptcy. Eric Clapton said last year when asked about declining guitar sales, “I don’t know. Maybe the guitar is over.” The fact is young people are really good at computers and for some reason really like electric dance music (EDM.) Those two go hand-in-hand. Learning an instrument takes time, patience and skill. Granted I’m sure there are plenty of guitar lessons on YouTube. But it is way easier to download a bunch of beats and turn that into a song, rather than learning an instrument, getting good at it and creating music that way. This is where I would insert the history of rock n roll, but it is too long. There was hair metal which sparked grunge rock. Then brit-pop was the answer to grunge. After that was the new millennium with a couple golden groups like Foo Fighters, Modest Mouse and Weezer. But it also produced a lot of junk like Limp Bizkit, Nickelback and Godsmack. During this time it was difficult to organize a band in the suburbs. The most successful band I was ever in was my senior year of high school. I met two guys in Port Washington that were four or five years younger than me and the only gig we ever played ended in disaster. We were also trying to use our own vernacular in an attempt to capture the complexity of modern white kid life. As always, there is hope. A young group out of Michigan called Greta Van Fleet has been stirring things up with their faux Led Zeppelin sound.

Read the ﬁne print A 40-year investigation into a man who killed 12 people and raped more than 50 women in California came to a conclusion last week with the arrest of Joseph James DeAngelo, 72, in Sacramento. What was it that gave law enforcement the irrefutable evidence they needed to make an arrest? A DNA match and some detective work that would make a genealogist proud, tied up the case of the Golden State killer, also known as: Original Night Stalker, East Area Rapist and the Diamond Knot Killer. According to news accounts, Paul Holes, who recently retired from being an investigator with California’s ConFrom the Publisher’s tra Costa County District Attorney’s Office, took DNA that was believed to Desk be from the killer and uploaded the profile into a free online DNA dataTom Stangl base. Th database, d b The GEDmatch, is a site where people enter their own DNA profiles or genealogical data -- such as those you can get from DNA tests through paid services such as Ancestry -- and try to find familial matches with other users. Holes came up with over 100 matches of people who could be distant cousins to DeAngelo. To use GEDmatch, users agree to make their information public and attach at least an email address to their profile. Holes said investigators contacted “one or two people” as they tried to find, from the distant relatives, a pool of people who could have been the Golden State Killer of the 1970s and ‘80s. CNN reported when DeAngelo’s name emerged in what investigators believed was the pool of possible suspects last week, detectives used a different DNA sample -- one that was discarded -- and matched it to existing evidence from the investigation. Officials with GEDmatch told CNN that they were not

contacted by law enforcement, the site tells users that their database may be used for other things besides genealogy. These uses include identification of relatives that have committed crimes or were victims of crimes. A spokesman for GEDmatch told CNN if users are “concerned about non-genealogical uses of your DNA, you should not upload your DNA to the database and/or you should remove DNA that has already been uploaded.” DNA is a wondrous thing, something that we have only recently begun to truly realize. The unique makeup of our genetic markers is like a fingerprint with additional information added. As crime scene investigators blazed trails with fingerprints a century ago, DNA is now helping to unlock more crimes. You have to admit that this was inspired work for an investigator to use this database, casting a wide net that could be refined ever smaller until the other clues lined up to point them to a suspect. The laws of unintended consequences come into play when it comes to using DNA databases. Advances in testing have led to more and more people voluntarily submitting genetic material for testing. People hope to learn where their ancestors came from or perhaps what diseases they may be genetically predisposed to having in the future when they give this very specific information away. We get upset about people misusing our personal information. Getting your Social Security number stolen and Facebook information misused is nothing compared to being identified as a criminal yourself. I hope this case highlights the need for people to have control over this information and holding the people who curate the data more accountable for their actions. We have always had the power, we need to stop giving it away. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. 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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Environmental Stewardship Extends Beyond Awareness Just a few weeks ago, I had the honor to attend and speak at the 50th Anniversary of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The Riverway was created when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 into law. At the signing ceremony, President Johnson said, “In the past 50 years, we have learned – all too slowly, I think – to prize and to protect God’s precious gifts. Because we have, Patty our own Schachtner children and grandDistrict 10 children Senator will come to know and come to love the great forests and the wild rivers that we have protected and left to them.” The early 1900s were marked as an instrumental period of development in our nation’s history, but it came at a cost. Chemical dumping and pollution threatened public health and infrastructure. One of America’s most polluted rivers was the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio. The river caught fire thirteen times since 1868, resulting in $1.3 million in damages in 1952 and a loss of five lives in 1912. In 1948, stagnant air trapped pollutants from a local zinc plant over the town of Donora, Pennsylvania. The hovering “wall of smog” lingered for days, and in that time, killed 20 people and sickened almost half of the town’s 14,000 residents. Researchers later found that the pollutants killed nearly all vegetation in the half-mile radius surrounding the plant. That is the context in which President Johnson spoke and the reality our parents and grandparents lived through.

As we take a look back at Earth Day, let us remember that our environment is something to protect. It is an investment that we, and the generations that come after us, will reap the benefits of. Here in western Wisconsin and the 10th Senate District, we benefit from a strong tourism economy. In 2016, tourism spending brought in $470.1 million in total business sales and employed 4,621 residents in Burnett, Dunn, Polk, Pierce, and St. Croix Counties. Tourism is driven by visitors who have come to enjoy our rivers, state parks, and trails. Protecting our environment also preserves our sporting and outdoors heritage. Nobody wants to fish in a polluted lake. As a former member of the Wisconsin Bear Hunters’ Association, I do not know many people who would enjoy hunting in neglected lands. By engaging in environmental stewardship and investing in our natural resources, we can preserve habitats and ensure that our sporting heritage extends to future generations. While we have moved beyond burning rivers and lethal smog, the threat to our environment remains. For instance, Foxconn. The $4.5 billion deal exempts the foreign company from many environmental protections, including an environmental impact study. The waiver of the study means residents will not know the impacts Foxconn has on their property and nearby waterways, wetlands, and air. Our commitment to our environment cannot be just one day of awareness. It is on us to actively engage in environmental stewardship. State Senator Patty Schachtner represents Wisconsin’s tenth senate district. The district covers parts of Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix counties.

To the Editor: I felt it was time to give Kudos to the Grantsburg School bus driver whose route goes east on Wisconsin Ave. from Olson Drive in the a.m.. As I could set my clock by the time it goes past every day. The parents must be so pleased to have a driver with such consistency. Phyllis Ohnstad

BCHS Volunteers at Forts Folle Avoine Moving Forward To the Editor: Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park began as the audacious dream of some very brave County Board members who envisioned that the construction of a park to showcase the important fur trade history that existed in Burnett County would be a great asset. Following their successful volunteer efforts, we all came on the scene in the late 90’s, serving in many capacities, including positions on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. After leaving the Board, we have continued as volunteers for events, programs, maintenance, exhibits and fundraising. While experiencing ups-and-downs

Last spring, I met Mei Mei who shared with me her dream of opening a specialty cookie and ice cream shop. She was looking for the perfect location. Her criteria included a small town, preferably with a university, with a vibrant nightlife. She wanted to offer a fun, alternative place for college students to hang out at during the late Wild Chow evening hours and not only Lisa Erickson serve the local community with outstanding products, but also find ways to support and give back. A few weeks ago, I was at a grand opening in River Falls, in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin. At the refreshment table, I was captivated by big, beautiful cookies and helped myself to two. After one bite of a cookie topped with pretzels, I needed to know who made them. Mei Mei! She did exactly what

she said she was going to do. I drove immediately to her newly opened shop to congratulate her. Her cookies are simply the best and worth the drive! Each cookie is huge and will knock your socks off. She has fun names for them: Tavern (made with beer and pretzels); Lemon Meltaway, Chunky Cherry, Death By Chocolate, Pina Colada, Caramel Apple Pie, and so many more. Plus, many kinds are gluten-free. Her newest cookie is strawberry rhubarb that will be out soon. I can’t wait! Her shop is super cute and the staff very friendly. She also offers soups, salads, sandwiches and more. She supports the community by offering free coffee for free-will donations that support a special cause or charity. “We serve no guilt or judgment,” said Mei Mei. Sometimes you can skip making something homemade when someone else does it better. Mei Mei’s Gluten Free Cranberry Nut Cookies 3 ½ c quick oats

over the years, the larger philosophy always remained that working together to insure the success of Forts Folle Avoine and the Historical Society was our mission. It is imperative for the management of organizations that depend on a committed “volunteer staff” to have the temperament and skills necessary to work with and support their volunteers in a positive and meaningful environment. We acknowledge that the waters along the Yellow River at the Forts do not always flow smoothly, and recognize the legitimate concerns that now exist must be validated and resolved. However, we also want to acknowledge the positive accomplishments being achieved by the Historical Society volunteers at Forts Folle Avoine. The Historical Society currently maintains a positive financial position. The Annual Giving Campaign in support of moving a resort cabin to the Fort received very generous donations to make this possible. The membership committee recorded over 50 new members since last year, many who responded to the new focus-on-fam-

I-35: lane closures already starting on Snake River Bridge in Pine City as project begins

WOOD: Sheriff’s Detective look into gambling records

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Work will continue in 2019. The 2019 project is scheduled from April to October, and will include construction of the Highway 70 overpass, construction of the southbound I-35 Snake River Bridge, and construction of the County Road 7 overpass. MnDOT comes to Pine County MnDOT’s District 1 State Aid Engineer John McDonald, addressed the Pine County Board of Commissioners earlier this month, saying there are $100 million in projects planned for District 1 which covers approximately one-quarter of the state, eight counties and 1,561 miles of roads. Two local projects are I-35 crossovers at County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 7 and State Highway 70. They have been put on hold. Both bridges, McDonald explained, will include center turn lanes and will be built to give motorists who come off the freeway a better line of site at the top of the ramp. County Engineer Mark LeBrun explained that there will be a 1.5 foot drop in elevation to achieve that better line of site. He said the project will be in combination with city plans for road and infrastructure improvements. Pine City will look at projects to complete such as sewer and water infrastructure improvements under the road to keep from having to dig up the road twice. He said pedestrian crosswalks are being considered and the CSAH 7 project will include improvements from the freeway to Highway 61. Lebrun said the Highway 70 crossover is one of only two in the state that accommodate overwidth loads, so it experiences much more of that traffic. When the project is underway, many of those loads will be diverted onto other roads around the county. Another of the Pine City area MnDOT projects is the Snake River Bridge reconstruction. One bridge will remain open during construction but traffic in the southern part of the county will experience delays throughout the summer and into the fall until these projects are complete. Snake River Bridge update Motorists traveling on I-35 will encounter a traffic switch at the Snake River Bridges beginning Friday, April 27 in Pine County.

AILENE CROUP | THE PIONEER

John McDonald reviewed the state highway improvement plan for the district and focused on several construction plans in Pine County. The projects include the seven miles of I-35 reconstruction from the Chisago County border, north to Pine City. It’s a project estimated to cost $22 million.

Current left lane closures are in place as crews work to construct bypasses and ramp crossovers in the median of I-35. Beginning Friday, April 27 the northbound Snake River Bridge will be closed and traffic will shift to the southbound side of the interstate and be reduced to a single lane in each direction. The traffic switch comes sooner than originally anticipated due to construction schedule changes made by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. “These schedule changes will allow for the completion of construction on both northbound and southbound Snake Bridges in 2018,” said Andrew Deming, Project Engineer. “Another benefit of the schedule change will be a reduction to I-35 traffic impacts in 2019.” Motorists should expect delays and use caution when traveling through the work area.

The total amount of the checks was $5,419.84. Susan said she would shine a light through the check and trace Elvin’s signature. All 25 checks were listed in the criminal complaint, 23 of them were issued to Sue or Susan Wood. They range in amount from $50 to $400. The two remaining checks were for Mini-Mart and the other was for her rent. Elvin told Mikal that he believes Susan was responsible for the forged checks and said she took a book of blank checks from him. Detective Jameson Wiltrout called Elvin requesting all documents from his bank including a signature prior to Dec. 20 2017. Wiltrout also requested records from Susan’s player card with the Gaming commission for the Hertel Casino. Records show that between Dec. 20 2017 and March 22 2018 Susan put a total of $65,717.68 in and got $54,784.50 out. When Wiltrout interviewed Susan in March she knew exactly why she was there, “She said it was because she took money out of her ex-husbands account.” Then she confirmed that she was still living with Elvin. Wiltrout asked how long she had been forging checks from her husband’s account and Susan said she had been forging checks the entire time they were married. She added that she did take checks from him after they got divorced. Susan told Wiltrout that she mainly used the forged checks to gamble. She said she does most of her gambling at the Hertel Express Casino. She sometimes gambles at the Danbury Casino, where she works three days a week in the smoke shop. Wiltrout had her gambling statistics from her players card. He told her from Dec. 20, 2017 to March 22, 2018 she had $66,000 total in and $54,700 out. Susan appeared surprised by those numbers and she agreed with Wiltrout that she has a gambling problem. Susan said she was planning on paying Elvin back and had already paid him about $3,400 of the possible $5,000 she had taken. Wiltrout told her if she continues to pay Elvin back, she needs to keep a record of those transactions. Each count of forgery is a class H felony and if convicted can result in a $10,000 fine or six years in prison or both. Theft of movable property is a class I felony and if convicted can result in a $10,000 fine or three years and six months in prison or both. Susan is scheduled to make her initial appearance on May 30 in front of Judge Melissia Mogen.

company, said residents were not told much about the potential danger, what was in the smoke or why it was so black. But she said it was clear people should not have been breathing it in and she wondered how it will affect the water and air quality. Oil smoke can contain a mix of noxious hydrocarbons and other chemicals with potential shortand long-term health effects. National Weather Service radar showed the smoke plume extending south-southeast, taking it into sparsely populated areas. The weather service said winds were expected to weaken Thursday evening and eventually shift toward Lake Superior. It said the smoke probably would not affect Duluth, a city of about 87,000. Calgary, Alberta-based Husky Energy bought the refinery from Indianapolis-based Calumet Specialty Products Partners last year for more than $490 million. It’s Wisconsin’s only refinery, and it produces gasoline, asphalt and other products. The refinery had been fined by federal officials several years ago under its previous owners.·U.S. Department of Labor spokesman Scott Allen said the Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined Calumet Superior LLC $21,000 over emergency response and flammable liquids violations in 2015. The violations were settled and the problems resolved by the end of that year. Allen said it was the only OSHA enforcement action taken against Calumet Superior LLC in the past 20 years. Calumet Superior operates as a subsidiary of Calumet Specialty Products Partners, which sold the plant to Husky Energy last year.· The refinery, which dates back to the early 1950s, has a processing capacity of around 50,000 barrels per day and a storage capacity of 3.6 million barrels of crude and products. It processes both heavy crude from the Canadian tar sands in Alberta and lighter North Dakota Bakken crude.

Authorities said a fire at a northwestern Wisconsin refinery where an explosion injured at least 11 people was out and people were being allowed back in their homes Thursday night after most of the city of Superior was forced to evacuate. Douglas County officials posted an update saying the fire was extinguished but asking residents in the evacuation area to stay away from their homes for at least another two hours. The fire had poured thick clouds of noxious black smoke into the air after the explosion rocked the refinery. Schools and a hospital also were evacuated. Authorities said a tank of crude oil or asphalt exploded about 10 a.m. at the Husky Energy oil refinery in Superior, a city of about 27,000 that shares a Lake Superior shipping port with nearby Duluth, Minnesota. That prompted them to order the evacuation of a 3-mile radius around the refinery, as well as a 10-mile (16 kilometer) corridor south of it where the smoke was heading. It was unclear how many people evacuated, but Mayor Jim Paine said most of the city was being evacuated. The refinery is in an industrial area, but there’s a residential neighborhood within a mile to the northeast. The corridor downwind to the south of the refinery is sparsely populated. Schools in Superior and nearby Maple, Wisconsin, canceled classes Friday as a precaution. Hospital officials said only one of the injured was seriously hurt, with what was described as a blast injury. No deaths were reported, and officials said all workers had been accounted for. Thick, black smoke poured from the refinery hours after the explosion. Refinery manager Kollin Schade said the smoke was from burning asphalt that was so hot that firefighters were unable to attack the fire to try to put it out. Emergency officials later said

another tank had caught fire, too, though they didn’t specify what was in it. A four-person team from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board will investigate the blast. The board makes safety recommendations after serious chemical incidents. The fire was put out about 11:20 a.m. but reignited, prompting police to urge residents living within an evacuation area to leave. Police blocked roads into the area around the refinery. Three schools and St. Mary’s Hospital in Superior were evacuated as a precaution. A contractor who was inside the building told WDIO television that the explosion sounded like “a sonic boom” and that it happened when crews were working on shutting the plant down for repairs. Kara Tudor, 30, and Julia Johnson, 27, live about 2 miles from the refinery and were ordered to evacuate. They quickly scooped up their two dogs and three cats, grabbed their toothbrushes and drove to a friend’s house in Duluth, where they were watching the news for updates. Johnson, who was working from home at the time of the blast, said the windows shook. “It felt like something had hit the house, like a vehicle or a branch from a tree. ... Our dogs started barking. It was a stressful moment,” Johnson said. Johnson also wondered if a plane had crashed and feared the house might collapse. Johnson looked around but didn’t see anything — then a few moments later saw dense black smoke rising over the trees. By lunchtime, they had to go. Tudor went home as the clouds in the sky were masked by thick, black smoke and the air smelled like burning tires. “It was scary,” Tudor said. “We threw our dogs in (Johnson’s) car. I put the cats in my car ... we grabbed our toothbrushes and just left. ... We were mostly focused on the pets because it smelled like burning tires outside and we knew that wasn’t a good smell.” Tudor, a scientist at a research

Siren woman arrested for maintaining a drug trafficking place JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN –– Tonia J. Rightman, 37, Siren was arrested in April for manufacture/deliver THC and maintaining a drug trafficking place after a search warrant was executed at her home. Siren Police recovered 5.5 grams of marijuana, multiple smoking devices and other assorted paraphernalia. Rightman was also charged with a bond violation and possession of THC, her second – making it a felony charge. Manufacture/deliver THC and maintaining a drug trafficking place are both felony charges. Rightman’s son, Tyler Swanson, 17, who was not at home when the search warrant was executed, was charged with possession of THC. He already has a possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia charge from earlier in April. According to the police report, Siren police officer Trevor Theix had a confidential informant (CI) “conduct a controlled buy of marijuana from Tonia

Rightman” on April 14 at her residence at 23690 on State Road 35 in the Village of Siren. Theix took pictures of the dollar bills, $50 – two $20 bills and a $10 bill - for 1/8 of an ounce of marijuana, Rightman to keep track of the serial numbers. He gave them to the CI for the purchase later that day. The CI made the purchase and gave the baggie to Theix later that day. The contents tested positive for THC and weighed 3.56 grams. On April 17, Thiex sent a CI to Rightman again to make another controlled marijuana purchase. Thiex met with the CI to give him the baggie. It was identical to the $50 purchase on the 14th. The CI noted there was a juvenile female home “at the time of the drug buy.” On April 18, Thiex applied for a search warrant and was signed by District Court Judge Melissia Mogen that

afternoon. Siren Police officers with assistance from St. Croix Tribal Police officers and their K-9 unit arrived at the residence on State Road 35 at 6:32 p.m. When officers Swanson arrived on the scene Thiex noted Rightman was standing near the fron door. Thiex got to the door, informed her of the search warrant and removed her from the house. Several males were in the kitchen of the house. Officers saw marijuana and cash on the dryer where Rightman was standing when they arrived. There was marijuana under the couch in the living room along with a maroon smoking device. They found a jar that smelled of raw marijuana, but did not have any marijuana in it. The jar had gem-style baggies and a scale inside. There was a pipe allegedly used for smoking marijuana in Swanson’s room. Officers also found $208 in cash, $70 of

that was provided by the CI during the controlled purchases. A .22 rifle model was found in the residence along with .22 shells and .410 shells were also found during the search. All items which contained drugs or drug residue were tested with a field test kit and came back positive for THC. In Rightman’s bedroom they found a copy of “Marijuana Grower’s Guide” written by Mel Frank. There were also numerous marijuana seeds, stems and other clippings. Siren Chief of Police Chris Sybers said this is the second time Rightman has been arrested following a search warrant in the last 30 days. He added that although the book on how to grow marijuana and a large amount of marijuana seeds were found during this search warrant, “there was no evidence they were growing marijuana at the residence at this time.” Rightman and Swanson were both booked and later released by the Sheriff’s Department. They are both scheduled to be back in court in June.

Denim Day seeks to raise awareness of abuse BURNETT COUNTY –– County workers as well as members of the public filled the atrium at the Government Center last week to celebrate Denim Day. The event dates back to April of 1999 and is part of April’s Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Awareness Month. In Italy in 1999, an 18 year old girl was picked up by her 45year old driving instructor for her first lesson. He takes her onto an isolated road, pulls her out of the car, gets one of her legs out of her jeans then forcibly rapes her. He threatens her life if she tells anyone. The woman tells her parents and they go to the police and he is convicted of rape and sentenced to jail. His appeal of the sentence makes it all the way to the Italian Supreme Court. The decision is overturned and he is released from prison. In a statement made by the Chief Judge he argued, “because the victim wore very,

had launched into action and began protesting by wearing jeans to work. The California Senate and Assembly felt motivated and emboldened and also wore jeans to work. Patricia Giggans, Executive Director of Peace over Violence

in Los Angeles heard about the case and started Denim Dayin April of 1999. “We designed this campaign to be accessible for everyone, anywhere who wants to take action to prevent rape and all forms of sexual violence,”

Collecting tabs for a cause

Special Olympics in county?

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG –– James Smith has spent the last 40 years collecting pull tabs off of cans and then with the help of his mother Esther Windbiel, takes them down to the the Ronald McDonald House in the Twin Cities. Smith estimates he has collected well over a million tabs in that time and has collected 206,100 in 2018. “I love the work. I’m usually sitting on the porch working,” Smith said. “It’s a fun job and it is better than sitting around when I get done with work at DSI.” Smith works at DSI in Siren and says they are some of his biggest supporters. There are two drop-off sites at DSI and Smith says those fill up with tabs fast. He has boxes full of tabs in his room just waiting to be taken to the Ronald McDonald house. “They gave me a tour of the Ronald McDonald house in Minneapolis – St. Paul and I got to see

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center: • One in five women and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives. • In the U.S., one in three women and one in six men experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. • In eight out of ten cases of rape, the victim knew the perpetrator. • Eight percent of rapes occur while the victim is at work.

how my tabs help them out,” Smith said. He said he visited with children with cancer at the house and was made proud by his work. Smith said he doesn’t do all the collecting himself. He gets help from people at Shady Knoll, local churches, senior centers and peo-

ple from all Wisconsin, Minnesota, Texas and Hawaii. He also gets tabs from his cousin in Kentucky. Although he has a substantial amount of tabs, he is always looking for more and he collects year-round. Anyone interested in donating tabs can drop them off at Shady Knoll.

One of Webster High School students thoroughly enjoying the simulated driver experience last week.

Webster students get lesson in distracted driving WEBSTER –– The Arrive Alive Tour from UNITE Corporation visited Webster High School on Tuesday, April 24, for the entire school day. UNITE’s Arrive Alive Tour program uses a high-tech simulator, impact video, and a number of other resources to educate the public about the dangers of distracted and impaired driving. The simulator allows participants to experience the potential consequences of texting and driving and/or drinking and driving, but in a controlled environment. Distracted driving is a major issue in our country, as one of the most commonly recognized driving distractions is cell phone use. According to the CTIA – The Wireless Association, about 89 percent of all Americans have a cell phone. This is especially true for high school students, as drivers under 20 years old have the highest proportion of distraction-related fatal crashes according to the National Highway

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Traffic Safety Administration. These younger drivers have less driving experience, which can contribute to critical misjudgments if they become distracted. This is one of the main reasons why the Arrive Alive Tour visited Webster High School. These same drivers are the age group that text more than any other age group. Having this hands-on experience is important, as the students can see how dangerous it is to try and text while driving. UNITE Corporation brings their health and wellness programs to high schools, colleges, and communities across the nation. Their programs are designed to heighten the awareness to the dangers and consequences of distracted and drunk driving. These events have a powerful impact on students to reinforce the subjects that schools and parents teach them daily.

Siren school alerted of whooping cough outbreak JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN –– Last week Burnett County Health Department sent a letter to Siren School about a pertussis outbreak in Polk County. Pertussis, commonly referred to as whooping cough is a disease that is caused by a bacteria that attaches to the lining of the lungs. “Polk County Health Department is actively investigating an outbreak of pertussis that started with the first reported case on March 28, 2018,” said Anna Treague, nurse for Public Health in the letter. “There are currently 12 lab-confirmed or epi-linked cases in this outbreak. All of the cases are high school

students in the St. Croix Falls school district in Polk County. All have been fully immunized with pertussis containing vaccines.” Siren School nurse Karen Vanek, said on Tuesday that there were still no cases of pertussis in Siren School. According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, a person with whooping cough may feel like they have a cold with a runny nose, low grade fever, and slight cough. After about a week, the person can start to have violent dry, coughing fits that can last a minute or longer. These fits can make it hard to breathe. Often during the coughing fits, a person needs to take a deep breath, which causes a “whooping” sound. Sometimes the coughing fits lead to vomiting. The disease is most serious in babies and can cause pneumonia(a lung infection). Half of babies who catch whooping cough go to the hospital and some even die. “Polk County is working closely with the school district in an effort to distribute information to parents and to assist

in isolating symptomatic students who may need testing or who are awaiting test results,” Treague said. “Some close contacts may attend other schools in Polk County or neighboring counties. We will be notified if we have contacts or suspect cases in our county.” The best way to prevent whooping cough is to get vaccinated for it. Children need five doses of DTaP (diptheria, tetanus and pertussis) vaccine. The series of shots is given at ages 2, 4, 6 and 15 months with a booster between the ages of four and six. Teenagers should get the Tdap (tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis) vaccine around age 11 or 12. Pregnant women are advised to get one Tdap dose during their pregnancy and other adults should also get the vaccine once in their life. The Bureau of Communicable Diseases also suggest keeping babies and other high-risk people away from people who are sick.

‘Parents Who Host, Lose the Most: Don’t be a party to teenage drinking’ SUBMITTED BY: TESSA ANDERSON, DRUG COURT COORDINATOR

This time of year brings lots of opportunities for teens to celebrate. Unfortunately, many times these celebrations end in tragedy because the party was fueled by alcohol provided by an adult. This year the Burnett County Prevention Coalition wants teens and their parents to celebrate prom and graduation safely. It is illegal for adults to purchase, pour or provide alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 who isn’t their child or spouse. Adults can be criminally prosecuted for hosting underage parties and can be liable for injuries and property damage that may result from providing alcohol to teens. When an adult hosts an underage party, he/she could end up facing more than just a civil penalty. For example, if an underage teenager consumes alcohol at his/her home and later gets into a drunk driving accident resulting in someone else’s injuries, he/she could be charged with a Class H felony. A Class H felony in Wisconsin can include up to 6 years in jail, and/or fines up to $10,000. If the same scenario resulted in the death of another person, he/she could be charged with a Class G felony. A Class G felony in Wisconsin can include up to 10 years in prison and/or a fine up to $25,000. Some tips to help adults avoid underage drinking: •Don’t be afraid to be the bad guy. Taking a stand on alcohol use can help youth say no when they are pressured to drink with their friends. •If you host a party, always serve alternative non-alcoholic beverages and don’t let anyone drink and drive. •Supervise your teen’s party so you can confiscate any alcohol. •Report underage drinking to the police immediately. If you’d like to get involved with the Parents Who Host Lose the Most campaign, please contact Tessa Anderson at 715-349-8878 or Bridget Getts at 715-566-2519. “Healthy Minute” is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

Pruning after July protects oak trees from oak wilt BY DON KISSINGER AND PAUL CIGAN WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES

To protect oak trees and help prevent oak wilt, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources advises people to avoid pruning oaks on their property from April through July. Spring and early summer pruning makes oak trees vulnerable to oak wilt, a fatal fungal disease that rapidly kills trees in the red oak group and weakens those in the white oak group. Any tree damage during this time creates an opening that exposes live tree tissue and provides an opportunity for the oak wilt fungus to infect the tree. The red oak group includes northern pin oak, northern red oak, red oak and black oak; the white oak group includes bur oak, swamp white oak, white oak and English oak. “It takes only a few minutes for beetles that carry oak wilt spores to land on a fresh wound and infect your tree,” said Paul Cigan, DNR forest health specialist in Hayward. Property owners with oak

trees are encouraged to check with their municipality to find out if there are local oak wilt ordinances which may have different pruning restrictions. The use of tree paint or a wound dressing is not normally recommended on pruning cuts or wounded surfaces on most trees. But for damaged oaks, the use of such products are suggested from April through July. An immediate light painting of wounds or cuts on oak trees during this time helps protect against the spread of oak wilt by beetles. Don Kissinger, a DNR urban forester in Wausau, said there are also other important reasons to avoid pruning many kinds of deciduous trees in spring beyond concerns about oak wilt. “Spring is the time when tree buds and leaves are growing, leaving the tree’s food reserves low,” Kissinger said. In general, the best time to prune trees is in winter. Oak wilt and other diseases move easily on or in firewood logs year-round. To protect trees in general, don’t move firewood long distances, or only use fire-

wood labeled as Wisconsin-certified. As of January 31, 2018, oak wilt has been found in all Wisconsin counties except Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, Iron, Forest, Taylor, Door, Kewaunee, Calumet, and Manitowoc counties. Several of these counties contain the highest abundance of healthy and productive oak forests in the state. Taking recommended precautions with living oak trees and keeping firewood local to prevent the spread of oak wilt will help keep them that way for years to come. More information is available online at the WI DNR website, including a recently released video on oak wilt. Visit the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, and search for “oak wilt” or “firewood.” Additional information about proper pruning techniques is available from community foresters or by searching for “tree pruning.” Don Kissinger, DNR urban forester - Wausau: Don.Kissinger@ wisconsin.gov, 715-359-5793.

Seasonal temperatures melt late snows MADISON—There were 0.3 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending April 22 according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Last weekend’s blizzard continued into Monday, with final snow totals of up to 30 inches in some areas. A second round of heavy, wet snow fell across southern Wisconsin on Wednesday, with up to 10 more inches of snow reported. Warm and sunny weather followed, however, with weekend temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s. Reporters commented that the snow was melting quickly, recharging dry soils but leaving fields soggy. Overwintered crops were beginning to green up in the southern portions of the state, where farmers were hoping to start fieldwork soon. Reporters noted it may be a few weeks before central and northern Wisconsin can begin planting due to deep snow and still-frozen ground. Manure spreading continued where fields were able to support machinery.

Topsoil moisture supplies were rated one percent very short, five percent short, 70 percent adequate and 24 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated one percent very short, seven percent short, 76 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus. As of April 22, spring tillage was two percent complete statewide, unchanged from last week and now 11 days behind the five-year average. Oats planted were reported as three percent complete, 15 percentage points behind both last year and the five-year average. Winter wheat was 51 percent in good to excellent condition statewide, up one percentage point from last week. For the report for Burnett/Washburn Counties still cite snow on the fields and frost in the ground. Maple syrup is ending due to starting and stopping three times during the season. Last week was good but trees starting to bud. so it appears harvesters are done with sap.

Marvin Casper Halverson, age 60, of Siren, WI, passed away on Friday, April 27, 2018 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, WI. A Celebration of Life Gathering is currently pending w with plans to be held this s summer. Marvin was born on M 7, 1957 in Grantsburg, May t son of Clifford and the E Esther Halverson. Marvin w named after his dad, was C Clifford Marvin Halverson, a his grandfather, Casper and H Halverson. Marvin attended s school in Grantsburg and S Siren districts. Upon the c completion of his schooling, he went to a trade school to be a machinist. But his interest was in service, first for the Danbury ambulance service, then working for Burnett Sheriff’s Department, also working as a part-time officer for the Village of Frederic. Marvin then worked for the St. Croix Tribal Police Department which was very meaningful to him, serving 25 years in service to others. Due to his health, Marvin retired to then raise his children. Marvin served on the Siren Village Board for the past two years. He was so proud that he was able to be a part in all of this. Marvin was a proud member of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska. This Native American Heritage came from his grandmother, Nora Mensen’s side of the family. Marvin married Linda Jensen of Clam Falls on May 30, 1992 in Grantsburg. To this union three children were born — sons Reid and Joseph, and daughter Casey. His children were his pride and joy. Doting on their every need, he enjoyed taking care of his family. In Marvin’s early years, he was known as one of the little boys by his older siblings (along with his young brother, Gene). He spent a lot of time with his nieces and nephews and they all enjoyed their time with Uncle Marv and his endless snacks that he provided. Marvin loved to tease and with him being a big kid at heart, there were endless laughs, laughing until your sides hurt. When the Burnett County seat was moved to Siren in the 1980’s, he always teased his sister, Marie, about them living in Grantsburg, Minnesota then. He loved to visit with his family and friends to hear what was new in their life. Marvin was diagnosed with cancer in January 2017, he fought a long and hard battle with everything he had in himself to fight this nasty disease. Upon learning of his cancer, a reunion was held in his honor on September 30, 2017 with nine out of the 10 siblings and their families. Joy came in the morning when Marvin was released from all of his pain and suffering, entering into his eternal life on that Friday morning. What a blessing it is for Marvin to be whole again and free from pain. Marvin leaves to celebrate his memory his sons, Reid and Joseph, Siren; daughter, Casey, Siren; sisters: Betty (Steve) Marlow, Tallapoosa, MO; Gloria (Rich) DeMenna, Thomasville, GA; Marie (Tim) Dahlberg, Grantsburg; Nora Asper, Luck; and LaVonne (Michael) Fitzgerald, Hugo, MN; brothers: Gene (Chris) Halverson, Coarsegold, CA; Huck (Elaine) Larson, Maplewood, MN; Bruce (Kristi) Larson, Grantsburg; brother-in-law, Dave Hogie, Bakersfield, CA; special friend, Mike Bergquist, Siren; parents-in-law, Duane and Elaine Jensen, Clam Falls; an aunt, uncle, nephews, nieces, cousins and extended family and friends.

Law Enforcement Memorial Service has new home in Siren JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN –– The Siren school auditorium will be the home for this years Burnett County Law Enforcement Memorial Service. The event will be held on May 16 at 7 p.m. as part of police week. Siren Superintendent Kevin Shetler said the move was made due to poor attendance in the past when it was held in the early afternoon in front of the Government Center. “We’re expecting more people to attend by moving it to later in the day when more people are available,” Shetler said. Chris Engstrom and Tiffany Meyer were elected to the school board last month and this was there first meeting with the full school board. “I just want to take a moment to welcome our new members Chris Engstrom and Tiffany

Meyer to the school board,” Shetler said. The board then held their election for school board officials. Peggy Moore was voted to serve as president of the school board. Mark Pettis was elected vice president. Susie Imme was elected treasurer and Duane Emery was voted to serve as clerk. Moving the meeting right along, Siren Band Director Bryn Anderson came to the meeting to make a pair of requests. The first was for taking the band to Washington D.C., the second was for taking them to Madison for Band Day. Anderson said she already has a tentative itinerary set in place for the trip that is scheduled to be between June 2 and June 8. “Which should fall directly between state track and Badger Boys,” Anderson said. She explained that after approval, she will apply to per-

form with the National Parks association and then will be assigned to play somewhere in D.C. “Last year we played at the Jefferson Memorial,” Anderson said. The trip is not mandatory and all the funding is done through fundraisers, like the Big Gig, and from the students families. The second request was to take the students to Madison for Band Day in September to play at a Badger football game. Last year the band played at a game and the school can only be invited if they have an alumni from Siren in the UW band. “This is an opportunity that may not come along again for some time,” Anderson said. The board approved both trips without any opposition. Pops Concerts combined Darrell Imhoff, Siren Associ-

ate Principal of the Middle and High School, gave his report to the board and explained that spring sports are finally underway. “Since we’ve had to cancel and re-schedule so many games, we’re going to change the Pops Concert schedule,” Imhoff said. The high school concert was scheduled for May 7, but will now be combined with the middle school concert and both will be held on May 14 at 7 p.m. in the Siren auditorium. New Policies A number of new policies went through their first reading and Shetler explained to Engstrom and Meyer how the process works. “We go through a first and second reading of these policies before they’re approved,” Shetler explained. “So members have plenty of time to take the policies home and look

them over to see if they see any issues.” Shetler said that these policies are something the district pays for through the National School Board Association. He receives these policies as the laws change and adjusts the wording to make it applicable to Siren school. “Then we’ll discuss them and make any changes that are necessary,” Shetler said. “After the second reading, they are then approved as school policy.”

•

In Other Items The board approved a new five year contract with Siren Bus Company Inc. The board has been working diligently to get this done for several months and were glad it was approved. The contract states the fuel price will be $2.95.

Books & Breakfast The annual Books & Breakfast event was held at Nelson Primary on Friday where students had a chance to share breakfast with their family and then take them back to their classroom to do some reading.

Washburn throws no-hitter against Turtle Lake/ Clayton

Limited number of schools at St. Croix Falls meet

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

TURTLE LAKE—“We played tonight at Turtle Lake vs Turtle Lake/Clayton for our first conference game. We won 12-0 in five innings. Jack threw a no-hitter for us, his first of his career. He was very sharp tonight and, outside of a few walks, dominated the opposition. Striking out 12 batters in five innings is pretty impressive and I am very proud of him.” “Offensively Gus (Hunter Gustafson) had a great night with three big hits. We again didn’t hit great, but did take advantage of a few errors and capitalized getting some timely hits in big situations with two outs. Brad (Sigfrids) had the big blow with that threerun homer in the third to bust it open a bit which was big.” The Tigers travel to St. Croix Falls on Thursday and host Hurley in a double header on Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m. Monday, Shell Lake is at Webster and then on Tuesday, the Tigers visit Unity.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates continued their winning ways as they cruised to a 16-1 win in four

innings over the visiting Unity Eagles on Thursday night. The Pirates took a unique approach to the game this time, switching out players after all nine players batted to ensure everyone got plenty of playing

time, both offensively and defensively. “We knew the game had a potential of getting out of hand. We divided the team into two groups. One group would bat all nine players then we would switch groups, then switch each time all nine batters had a chance at the plate,” Pirates assistant coach Steve Johnson said. “In the first inning we put up nine runs in a hurry. After consulting the opposing coach, we intentionally stepped off the base for the third out.” “Cassidy Chenal got to start the game with group one, and Savannah Trittelwitz pitched for group two. Instead of having to stop the game and sub one person at a time, we set it up so we would sub nine at a time.” Chenal and Trittelwitz would combine for nine strikeouts on the night. The Pirates had 10 hits and 12 walks. The Quimby cousins led the offense with Brooke Quimby going two for two, knocking in three runs, and Isabelle Quimby also going two for two, with two RBI’s. The win keeps the Pirates’ season record unblemished and at 3-0 in conference play.

ST. CROIX FALS—“On Thursday, we traveled to St. Croix Falls for a meet with conference schools,” reported Grantsburg coach Brad Nelson. “A minor health issue caused a couple teams to drop out of the meet and we took only a third of our athletes. This made for a small team at a small meet. Still, we had some really strong individual performances. 13 of the 20 athletes we took achieved new personal records.” “Joseph Ohnstad finished first in both the 800 meter and 1600 meter runs, finishing pretty close to his best times. John Chenal took first in high jump at 6-feet, just shy of his best from last year of 6’2. Tyrell Brande tied his personal best in high jump to finish second. Ty also took second in the 100 meter dash. The girls 4x400 meter relay team of Hannah Smestad, Ally Peterson, Olivia Ohnstad, and Mirlande Brande also claimed a second place finish.” “Beyond this, we had many athletes taking fourth, fifth, or sixth place finishes. The boys team finished fourth and the girls fifth out of five teams, but again, we were missing two-thirds of our team. This was a really good experience for athletes who haven’t had much opportunity to compete.” For the Siren boys, Dolan Highstrom came in first in the 100 meter dash and Colton denhoed was first in the 200 meter dash. Jeremy Liljenberg was third in the 1600 meter run. Anthony Dugger was fourth in the 3200 meter run as well as Trevor Stanford was fourth in the 300 meter hurdles. In the relays, Dolan and Derek Highstrom, denHoed and Riley Churchill were third in the 4x100. Dolan, Derek, Cordell Fischer and Gage Holmes were second in the 4x200 relay. Siren came in second in both the 4x400 and 4x800 relays. Members of those two teams are Ben Kopecky, SEE TRACK ON PAGE 20

Treasure in the Woods I think the number one reason I look forward to Spring so much, and I’m probably not alone here, is the fact that we can get out of the house and enjoy our yard, woods, river, lakes, etc... There is an activity that my family loves to do outdoors, and maybe you’ve never tried it before. It’s called Geocaching. What is it? According to Geocaching.com, “Geocaching is a real -world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.” Basically, download the app, pick a location (currently there are 419 within a ten mile radius of my home near Burnett Dairy), and go find it. Use the app to zero in on the treasure. Usually the treasure is a waterproof container of some sort that someone placed there, marked the location, put a log (a notebook of some sort so people who find the cache can write their name in it and maybe a message), and a pencil to write on the log. There are sometimes trinkets in the container, but a rule is take something, leave something. Usually it’s marbles or toy soldier or things like that, but there have been some that have had money or gift certificates left inside. There are some really cool containers. I’ve seen lots of old film canisters, pill bottles, and plastic jars, but sometimes you’ll find ones that are so camouflaged that it looks just like its surroundings or something cool like an ammo box (there’s one of these in a Frederic cache). Sign the log, make a trade, and rehide the cache in the exact same place you found it. Beware, you must always be on the lookout for muggles (non-geocachers that might get curious and not know the rules to the game, take the cache, and screw it up for the next guy, gal, family, wizard that wants to find that cache). There are special kinds of caches, too. One is called a travel bug hotel (there’s one by the Minit Mart in Grantsburg) that houses “travel bugs”. Travel bugs are special trinkets that have a code attached to them. The idea is to take that travel bug, log it on your app, and then bring it to a different cache (doesn’t necessarily have to be another travel bug hotel). When you log the travel bug into your app you can see that bug’s journey. It’s fun. We’ve had several that have been around the world! There’s even some secret code language that you should be aware of before you set off on your first treasure hunt. You don’t want to be considered a muggle now, do you? Good. TFTC: Thanks for the cache. A common notation found on a cache’s logbook. BYOP: Bring your own pencil/pen. Probably because the cache canister is too small to put one in, but there’s a log book for you to sign. CITO: Cache in; Trash out. Really ever since geocaching became a thing, geocachers have committed to keeping things clean, so if you see this in a log book you’ll know a fellow geocacher helped clean the surrounding area. DNF: Did not find. When logging your finds on your app, it’s good to keep track of your misses, too. If there are too many DNF’s that lets the person who placed the cache know that they may need to check on it. Either that or it’s an evil cache and really hard to find. FTF: First to find. Behold the great geocacher that is the first to find a new cache! TNLN: Took nothing; Left nothing. Alternitively, TNSL: Took nothing; Signed log. Finally, here’s the Geocacher’s Creed. When placing or seeking geocaches, I will: -Not endanger myself or others. -Observe all laws & rules of the area. -Respect property rights and seek permission where appropriate. -Avoid causing disruptions or public alarm. -Minimize my and others’ impact on the environment. -Be considerate of others. -Protect the integrity of the game. This is a great family friendly activity and will show you parts of your town and county that you’ve likely never explored before. Put on some bug spray and hiking boots and go geocaching!

Tigers boys fourth, girls ﬁfth at Rice Lake “We finally got outside!”said an elated Coach Roy Ward after the track meet at Rice Lake. “After a crummy spring, it was nice to see the kids get out and compete. For us, we saw good performances out of our veteran groups. Dustin Kern had a personal best 19’4” jump in the long jump and a personal best :16.88 in the 110 hurdles. The boys 4x800 consisting of Joey Formanek, Mason Schaaf, Carter Doriott, and Hunter Erickson, continues to perform well and won the race. Mason and Joey went 1-2 in the 800, Hunter scored a third in the 3200, and Carter and Joey both scored in the open 400 .” “The boys throwers performed well in their first outdoor meet. Austin Moser was second and Harlo Olson was third in the shot put with 46’5.5” and 45’6” throws respectively.” “Austin followed that up with a 139’6” discus throw, which was good enough to win. Harlo Olson placed fourth and Ross Daniels placed sixth respectively.” “The girls had some strong individual performances yesterday. Jeni Petersen won the pole vault and had a personal best 32’7” triple jump. Her triple jump mark puts her in second place in that event on our school’s honor roll. That was a pretty cool thing

to see. Skyler and Summer Winkler both placed top six in the 100 meter dash with times of 13.8 and 13.78. It was Summer’s first ever 100 meter dash and it was a good one. She actually is now the ninth fastest 100 runner in Webster history with just one race! Skyler also scored points in the open 200 with a time of 29.86.” “Emily Doriott scored points in the 800 yesterday with a time of 3:00 and Sam Nelson and Jenna Gomulak took a second and seventh in the 1600 meter run. Sam and Jenna also came back and took third and fifth in the two mile, with Sam and Jenna each setting personal bests in that event.” “The girls 4x200 relay consisting of Ali Moritz, Emily Doriott, Grace McCool, and Elizabeth Robinson took fourth and the 4x100 meter relay consisting of Skyler Winkler, Summer Winkler, Jeni Peterson, and Hannah McDowell placed fourth as well running a time that put them eighth in school history.” “It was just great to get outside and see the kids compete. A lot of surprise performances that put a big smile on our coaches faces from kids who put in the work and deserve to be rewarded. Looking forward to getting in another couple meets next week!”

Pirates “thrilled to be outside” BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALDWIN-WOODVILLE—“This was a weird week for Grantsburg Track and Field,” said cocoach Brad Nelson. “We were absolutely thrilled to be outside and running on a track. With the exception of our indoor meet at UW-Stout on March 24, our athletes have spent 32 practices in the gym or running school parking lots before actually getting to compete. This has been pretty hard on athletes and has been a disadvantage to not be running on a rubberized track and to not be able to properly practice relay exchanges. We’ve made do and the team has had a pretty good attitude about it, all things considered. So to finally make it outside to a meet has been thrilling. Yet this week threw us a couple curve balls. “We traveled to Baldwin on Tuesday for a meet with eight other teams and saw some good competition. We ran against schools we don’t normally see and that are bigger than us, like Prescott, St. Croix Central, and Amery. But the late snow melt created some wet conditions so that all field events except for shot put were canceled. This was disappointing, but the meet went well otherwise. It was a beautiful evening to be outside and we made the most of it. We had some strong performances, but of course had tough Division 2 competition.” Gracie Gerber finished second in the 400 meter dash and third in the 800 meter run. She also ran in the girls 4x400 meter relay team with Olivia Ohnstad, Kaitlin Olson and McKenzie Rombach, which finished second.

Linda Harmon took third in the 200 meter dash and McKenzie Rombach finished fifth in the mile. Ally Peterson finish in sixth in the 100 meter dash and Grace Gaffney improved her shot put best to take sixth. David MacKean led the boys teams in points, finishing second in the 1600 meter run and third in the 800 meter run. Joseph Ohnstad was right behind him in the 800 meter run and finished fifth. Joe also helped the boys 4x800 meter relay team take fifth, along with Robens Brande, Chris Hermann, and Trevor Vollendorf. Leo Chenal finished second in shot put and contributed to the fifth place finish of the boys 4x100 meter relay, along with Reed Arnold, Gabe Chenal, and Tyler Stevens. Tyler, Reed, and Gabe were joined by Nate McKinley for the 4x200 meter relay, which finished fourth. Nate, David, Chris, and Cole Reichstadt finished second in the boys 4x400 meter relay and hurdler Quentin Premo-Blume finished sixth in the 300 meter hurdles. Continued Coach Nelson, “The boys and girls teams both finished fifth out of nine teams, a result that we are quite happy with. We sought out this meet because of the tough competition, so we had no expectation of first place finishes. Plus, for it being our first outdoor meet, we had a lot of kinks to iron out, but the athletes did a great job and really performed well.” Said Coach Kim Hallberg, “It was great to get on the track and competing again. We have many new faces in our track program this year and it was nice for them to be able to compete. I was proud of the way our kids handled running against some tough competition in their first meet of the year!”

Saints top Dragons BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SIREN—The visiting St. Croix Falls Saints scored four runs in the top of the first and went on to defeat the home Siren Dragons 14-3 last Thursday. A hit batsman, a single, back-to-back doubles and another single got those four runs across. The Dragons came back with two runs in the bottom of the second on a walk to Tyler Miller, a

double by Jordan Webster and a single by Tanner Buck. The Saints put single runs across in the third and fifth innings, with a three run barrage in the fourth. St. Croix topped off the game with five in their half of the sixth. Siren got their third run in the bottom of the sixth when Miller was hit by a pitch, stole second, and moved on in due to an error by the Saints third baseman. Ben Lemieux started the game for the Dragons with Jordan Webster coming on in the third. Breck Mangen then finished the game, going 2.1 innings. Tyler Anton had two hits for Siren. Webster hit a double and Tanner Buck got the other hit for the Dragons.

Tigers drop game to Hurricanes BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

HAYWARD—“We went up to Hayward Tuesday and didn’t really show up to play,” said Tiger coach Jarrod Washburn following an 11-2 loss to the Hurricanes. “We played our worst game of the year so far and hopefully at the end we will still be able to say it was our worst. We didn’t swing the bats well at all only getting three hits for the game and defensively we were really bad.” “After playing so well in the field this past weekend, I was really disappointed in our performance in Hayward defensively. Anytime you commit five errors, and four in one inning and give another team seven runs, you’re gonna have a tough time coming out on top. But I can’t be too hard on the kids since we still haven’t had an outdoor practice. Now the weather looks like it has finally turned into spring so that will allow us to get to work and fine tune some things.” The three hits came from Owen Washburn and Hunter Gustafson who both had singles, and Hunter Rosenbaum clubbed a double. Brad Sigfrids and Rosenbaum each had an RBI to account for both Tiger runs. Sigfrids started on the mound for Webster and went 3.1 innings. Carsen Stenberg pitched a third of an inning and Caleb Pardun went 2.1 innings. Tiger pitchers walked six and struck out four.

Pirates’ seventh inning rally comes up short BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates finally got their long-awaited season started on Thursday night as they played host to the Unity Eagles. Despite an impressive seventh inning rally, the Pirates came up just short losing this contest 5-6 to a tough Eagles squad. “Two defensive mistakes midway through the game let runs in,” Pirates head coach Pete Johnson said. “When you lose by one, that haunts you.” The Pirates were down 6-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh. Teddy Vitale walked, followed by a single by Ben Johnson. Austin Wedin headed to the plate next, and walked to load the bases with no outs. Luke Anderson stepped to the plate and after getting behind in the count, hung on to walk and bring in a run to make it 2-6. Bryce Roufs was up next with the bases loaded and no outs. He clobbered one to the fence for a stand-

up double, scoring two runs. The next two batters struck out, but Anderson was able to score on a dropped third strike as the catcher chased down the batter. The Pirates’ final batter struck out as well, stranding the tying run at third and ending the game. Roufs led the Pirate offense this

game with two hits and three RBI’s. Ricky Clark, Austin Wedin and Teddy Vitale all saw time on the pitchers mound with Clark taking the loss. “Way too many strikeouts for us,” Johnson added. “I appreciate our rally in the seventh. It shows that our nine didn’t give up.”

SOMERSET—“The guys really bounced back nicely from getting our butts kicked in Hayward,” praised Coach Jarrod Washburn following the 32-0 victory (not a typo). “The bats really came out today and we hit the ball the way we are capable of, getting 21 hits for the game. Our approach was much better than in Hayward and it paid off. Jack (Washburn) and Gus (Hunter Gustafson) pitched really well and the defense played great so it was a nice complete win.” After getting a single run in the first, Webster got three in the second, seven in the third, 11 in the fourth and 10 more in the fifth. Hunter Gustafson was four for five (with two doubles). Trevor Gustafson, Austin Spafford and Carsen Stenberg each had three hits.

Hunter Rosenbaum hit a grand slam in the Tigers’ win over Somerset.

Hunter Rosenbaum and Owen Washburn got five RBI’s on the day. Washburn and Gustafson allowed just three hits, walked but

two and struck out nine. CLEAR LAKE-“Hunter Rosenbaum had a really good game today both on the mound and with the bat. He set the tone for us on the mound, pounding the strike zone and dominated a good ball club which was fun to watch. We didn’t hit as well as we did the day before, but got some nice timely hits. Defensively, we didn’t need to make many plays, but we were solid.” The Tigers had 10 runs on eight hits against the Warriors. Rosenbaum had the only extra base hit, a double. He was two for three with four RBI’s. Trevor Gustafson also had two hits for Webster. Rosenbaum went the distance (five innings), had only one hit made against him, walked one and struck out nine. Again, the defense was clean, the Tigers committing no errors in the game.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates hosted the Cumberland Beavers on Friday night in a non-conference match up, with the Beavers coming away with a 12-5 win over the hometown boys. “Our bats were a little better tonight,” Pirates head coach Pete Johnson said. “We still had two or three defensive mistakes that led to most of Cumberland’s runs.” Cumberland struck first, scoring four runs in the top of the third. But the Pirates answered back with four runs of their own in their half

of the inning to keep pace with the Beavers. Things went south for the Pirates after that, both defensively and fron the pitching mound as Cumberland’s bats came alive to drive in eight more runs. Grantsburg did improve offensively this game, racking up eight hits to only six strikeouts. Austin Wedin, Luke Anderson, Bryce Roufs, David Nelson, Sven Johnson and Ben Johnson each had a hit while Dane Jensen had two hits. Nelson was the starting pitcher for the Pirates and took the loss. Anderson and Teddy Vitale also saw time on the mound this game.

Storm blanked but hope arises BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—“I felt that Emma Zmuda threw well, they just hit off of her right away and seemed to find every gap in our outfield,” said Webster/Siren Storm coach Tina Karsten after the 21-0 loss to the St. Croix Saints. “I am proud of the girls for coming out in the second inning and only allowing two runs.” The Saints had put 10 on the board in the top of the first, thus holding the Saints to just two scores was a major accomplishment. “I am impressed with Madisen Freymiller on how well she caught, considering this is her first year catching,” the coach added. Zmuda walked just four in the game, another positive sign. Earlier in the week, the Storm went to Superior to play Cameron. “We lost in five with a score of 20-0,” said the coach. “It wasn’t until the bottom of the fourth that they started to really tally the runs.” “I thought that for our second day outside it went as well as it could. We saw some good things and we saw some things that we need to continue to work on. It was a neat experience for the girls to play on a turf field. The Storm will have played at Unity on Tuesday night.

They then played Eau Claire Emmanuel Lutheran, and hung on for a 4-3 victory over the Lancers. After only scoring two runs in the first inning against the Vikings, the Pirates racked up seven in the second inning to take a commanding lead. Rylee Hoffman was in the circle for the Pirates and got the win. The game against the Lancers was a little tighter and despite getting three runs early to take a lead, the Pirates would score one in the second inning but then be held in check the remainder of the game. They were able to hang on to the one run victory. Cassidy Chenal had the pitching honors this game and got the win.

ST. CROIX FALLS—The Grantsburg Pirates headed to St. Croix Falls on Monday night to take on the Saints for the second time in a week. Grantsburg got the shut out taking a 15-0 win in what is considered a non-confer-

ence game. “This would be the first time we played SCF in a non-conference game,” Pirates assistant coach Steve Johnson said. “It was because of the crazy spring scheduling that they will only count the first game as a conference game.” Grantsburg would end up with 15 runs on 12 hits and four walks.

In the circle it was Cassidy Chenal and Mackenna Johnson combining for the no-hitter. The Pirates now improve to 8-0 on the season. They will host Turtle Lake/ Clayton on Thursday night and the Cumberland Beavers come to town on Friday night. Both games begin at 5 p.m.

Hall of Fame Coach Bjelland Pirates softball coach Don Bjelland was recently inducted into the Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association Hall of Fame for his outstanding coaching career.

No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about our choices

Pastor Mike Kleven First Baptist Falun

A couple days ago I took a picture of my grandkids â&#x20AC;Ś in short sleeve shirts â&#x20AC;Śon the shore of a frozen lake â&#x20AC;Śwhere people were ice fishing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northwestern Wisconsin! We experience a crazy range of temperatures. Winter cold -30Â°. Summer heat more than 100Â°. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extreme. But imagine looking at the thermometer and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s -454.81 Â° outside. Now, picture yourself hearing tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forecast of an afternoon high reaching 9,941Â°. Either one of these could ruin your day. Fortunately, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live on the surface of the sun or in the vacuum of space. We live in a very, very narrow region of space where conditions are just right. Scientist call it the

circumstellar habitable zone, life zone, or Goldilocks zone. The region of space where a planet is not too close or not too far from its star but just the right distance to support life. We may be tough people who can handle northern Wisconsin weather. But when it comes to the extremes of our own solar system we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand a chance if not for our place in the life zone. So how did we get here? The Bible tells us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through (Jesus) all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life.â&#x20AC;? John 1:3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;4 (NIV) Jesus created all things. Jesus gave us physical life. And Jesus set the earth in the Goldilocks zone and placed us on it.

THE WOODLAND CHURCH

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH, ELCA

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end of the story. Goldilocks trespassed, caused damage, stole, and faced a three-bear showdown. Then she ran away in fear. God knew we trespassed against him. Our choices, our sin set us running in fear down a path toward a lifeless, uninhabitable eternity. But instead of letting us run away, God created the just right conditions for life in eternity: an eternal habitable zone. The Bible says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.â&#x20AC;? 1 John 5:11 (NIV) Jesus is the eternal life zone where life will thrive forever. Have you entered the eternal life zone through Jesus?
