SIREN—Now in its 11th year, Burnett County Drug and Alcohol Court is one of nearly 3,200 treatment courts in operation in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Nationally, they successfully treat almost 150,000 substance-addicted individuals each year. Since 1989, these courts have saved over 1.5 million lives and billions of tax dollars. Burnett County Drug Court Coordinator Tessa Anderson said since its inception in 2006, Burnett County Drug Court has had 74 participants. A total of 47 have graduated, four are actively participating, one was medically discharged, and 22 were terminated from the program. “For the participant to remain successful after graduation as well as successful in the program, they need to apply the tools they were given in the program,” Anderson said. “Recovery does not end on graduation day. It is an ongoing process, where the life skills and self esteem that were developed in treatment are necessary for long-term sobriety.” (Editor’s note: See last week’s Sentinel page 1 story on Mark Stoner, a graduate of the Burnett County program who has maintained four years of sobriety.) The Burnett County Drug Court is a judicially supervised court docket that reduces correctional costs, enhances community safety and improves public welfare. Through drug court, seriously addicted individuals remain in treatment for long periods of time while under close supervision. Participants must meet obligations to themselves, their families and their community. To ensure accountability, participants are regularly and randomly tested for substance use, required to appear frequently in court for the judge to review their progress, rewarded for meeting goals and sanctioned for not meeting clearly stated obligations. Research continues to show that treatment courts work better than jail or prison, better than probation and better than treatment alone. Treatment courts are this nation’s most effective strategy to reduce recidivism among substance addicted, nonviolent offenders with criminal histories. Nationally, 75 percent of individuals who complete such programs are not re-arrested. These courts save up to $13,000 for every individual they serve and return as much as $27 for every $1 invested. Burnett County Drug Court is held at 9 a.m. on the first and third Thursdays of each month. If you have questions, please contact Tessa Anderson at 715-3498878 or at tanderson@burnettcounty.org.

Grantsburg: Men of Tomorrow BY SEAN DEVLIN

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grantsburg High School wants to give its students a headstart. One way which they seek to do this is by conducting a two-part event called Men of Tomorrow. (Woman of Tomorrow was held earlier in the semester.) Men of Tomorrow is a special activity for the eleventh grade young men of GHS. The first portion focuses on the manners and etiquette that are traditionally seen as professional by potential employers. This year, the students traveled to WITC-New Richmond to learn from Megan Evans, Career Specialist and Recruiter for the institute. Evans educated the young men about appropriate behavior in the workplace, and also taught the students the difference between everyday and business use of social media.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We covered a lot of topics that day, from which fork to use when, to how to tie a tie. We also worked with them on their elevator pitches, basically a short summary of their skills and interests to use when meeting their mentors at the luncheon. The students really seemed to enjoy the day. We got a lot of positive feedback from them afterwards.â&#x20AC;? The second component was a mock business luncheon held at the Crex Convention Center in Grantsburg. Prior to the luncheon, GHS Transition Coordinator Suzie Retzer asked students which sort of careers they may explore in the coming years. Retzer invited professionals in the fields of graphic design, education, law enforcement, mechanics, engineering, music and more. At the luncheon, the young men were seated with the professionals in their field of interest.

Junior Blake Jensen, a community-known tenor saxophone and trumpet player, choir member, actor and creative-minded student, was seated next to Dr. Harry Johansen, former head of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater music department. Jensen and Dr. Johansen were able to explore Jensenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests in music while enjoying a three-course meal at which students were expected to execute proper â&#x20AC;&#x153;business dining etiquette.â&#x20AC;? Jensen expressed that one career he is considering is that of a music teacher. In college, he is planning on majoring in performing arts and music education. After the meal and conversation, the students were audience to keynote speaker Wisconsin State Representative Nick Milroy. Milroy shared with the students his journey to the career he enjoys today. He now stands as state representative after serving in the military, gaining a degree in biology, teaching at UW-Eau Claire, working in public service and much more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to talk to young people because young people are going to be the future of the state and are going to lead Wisconsin,â&#x20AC;? he said. Milroy warned the students that â&#x20AC;&#x153;not all advice is good advice.â&#x20AC;? He explained that when he was in high school, he and his peers were told that many jobs were becoming available in healthcare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When all my friends were being pushed into the medical field out of high school, I said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passionate about,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SEAN DEVLIN | SENTINEL

Wisconsin State Representative Nick Milroy was the keynote speaker.

A strong work ethic. Pay attention to the details. Have a sense of curiosity. Milroy notes these characteristics as being some of the most important aspects of success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more you can experience in life, the better off you are going to be,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Unsinkable interests I’m not a scientist. Far from it. Keep that in mind. For a few years now, I’ve mulled, put down, picked back up, and spent many nights pondering where interests come from. There may be an answer to this... genetics, circumstance, curiosity about every little thing in childhood. I’m not sure. One event that I am sure happened, according to reading and placing trust in historians, is the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. Books, documentaries, romantic books and movies have been produced and written concerning that hellish night on the North Atlantic and I want to know why. I don’t blame people. Whenever an article surfaces online regarding the life of a ship passenger or a new theory about a contributing factor to the sinking presents itself, I am lost within those words no matter what else I am doing. Just recently I read a write-up about a coat for auction that was Sentinel owned by Mabel Bennett, a firstclass stewardess who was one of Editor the approximately 700 people who Sean Devlin made it safely to the Carpathia, the rescuing ship. I don’t wish to own the coat. However, I want to know if the person that purchaces the artifact thinks of why he or she is doing it. What about the Titanic is so extraordinary to so many of us? “I find shipwrecks fascinating,” people have said. Why? In a CNN article, Stephen D. Cox writes, “The Titanic sank in two hours and 40 minutes, the length of a classic play. Its cast of characters included people of every rank and station and personality. The cast was large enough to represent the human race, yet small enough to form a self-contained society...” While his comments seem to lend directly to the Titanic disaster itself, I think his words can be broadened. Maybe the reason so many of us are captivated by the Titanic, the Holocaust, World War II as a whole is that, while we cannot relate to the extreme emotions felt in those unique events, we do have the ability to empathize, to try and imagine what an event so monumental would have been like. Could this be one place our interests stem from? Human to human emotion? I’m not sure, but it’s a thought. I have a great interest in J. Bruce Ismay, Chairman of the White Star Line— the Titanic was built under his eye. Now, his story is muddled. He survived the sinking and many argue he should have offered up his seat. Currently, I’m reading How to Survive the Titanic - or - The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay. As I sit and read and am taken up into the world of 1900’s sea liners, I wonder why I am reading about this man. Why am I reading about this ship? If I never discover the reason behind interests, I may be content with being entranced by whatever takes me up. Feel free to share your thoughts. Email, editor@ burnettcountysentinel.com. Phone, 715-463-2341. Also, check out our Facebook page. We keep a few articles flowing on there each week.

‘Threat to civilized society?’ Among the news stories bubbling to the surface last week is the latest sign of the apocalypse: man sues woman for texting during date. Brandon Vezmar complained to his date, Crystal Cruz, about her persistent phone use during their first date – a pizza and a showing of “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2.” About 15 minutes into the movie, Cruz began texting and Vezmar told her she should leave the theater to text. She left and did not return. Vezmar sent a text message the next day, seeking the cost of his date’s ticket. When Cruz failed to respond, Vezmar filed a claim in court for $17.31. According to the lawsuit, the texting was a “direct violation” of the cinema’s policy and she “adversely” From the affected his and other patrons’ viewPublisher’s ing experience. Desk “While damages sought are modest, the principle is important as deTom Stangl fendant’s behavior is a threat to civilized society,” the petition said. Cruz said she only texted two or three times with her friend who was having a fight with her boyfriend. “I had my phone low and I wasn’t bothering anybody,” she said The court’s time was saved when the TV show Inside Edition arranged for Vezmar to get his money (on camera, of course) from Ms. Cruz. In the only ending that could arise from a story like this, Vezmar counted the money in front of Cruz. First, I agree that people should not be on their phones in movie theaters. The light from the phone screen immediately draws my attention from the big screen, the one I am paying to see.

ADVERTISING & NEWS DEADLINE IS MONDAY AT NOON

Since this was the first (and more than likely, last) date for this couple, perhaps they should have simply had dinner. But, our ever dwindling attention spans seem to force us to resort to the smart phone, which has been called the “adult pacifier” by some for its soothing effect on people. Technology is wonderful, but nearly every time an innovation occurs, its intended use soon becomes coopted to something very different. I’m sure the folks who invented texting thought “hey, here’s a wonderful way to transmit small messages – think of the time people will save not having to call each other.” I doubt anyone could have foreseen distracted driving killing and injuring people and simple courtesy going by the wayside as people pay more attention to their devices than they do actual humans. As to Vezmar’s assertion that texting is a “threat to civilized society,” I can only say welcome to the human race. Civilized society has been on life support for decades, and clogging the courts with lawsuits for $17.31 because your movie was spoiled probably isn’t helping civil discourse. In the end, we all need to make a conscious decision to simply treat each other the way we would like to be treated. If we could break free of the gravitational pull of our own self-centeredness to do this one act of common courtesy and compassion, I doubt we would be reading stories like this one anymore. But hey, that’s my opinion. I could very well be wrong. Please turn your phone off the next time you go to a movie. The judicial system will thank you. As always, I welcome your comments. Email, tstangl@theameryfreepress.com. Telephone, 715-268-8101 I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

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

BUILDING DRUG ABUSE H.O.P.E. Drug addiction and abuse is a plague on our communities. In northwest Wisconsin, we have seen meth ravage our communities and destroy far too many promising lives. I am pleased that the State Legislature continues to work with stakeholders in an effort to come up with solutions that seek to save lives, provide treatment options and prevent addictions. Sheila During 2013-14, the LegHarsdorf islature began working with those on the frontDistrict 10 lines fighting heroin and Senator drug abuse, including law enforcement, first responders and medical professionals who helped develop legislation to respond to the increase in drug abuse across the state. The H.O.P.E. (Heroin, Opioid, Prevention, Education) agenda includes numerous changes in law, including the “Good Samaritan Law.” It offers immunity for anyone who calls 911 in a drug overdose situation, plus a drug disposal program, a prescription drug registration to track the legal sale of controlled substances and to allow Narcan to be readily available to EMTs and other first responders to administer in overdose situations. These bills are the foundation on which we have built the Legislatures response to drug addiction and abuse. This year, the governor called for a special session to further combat opioid abuse

in Wisconsin. The Governor’s Task Force on Opioid Abuse completed its work in 2016 and legislation was developed and introduced. These bills include: the emergency administration of Narcan by school personnel which includes all institutions of higher education; increased funding for treatment and diversion programs; authorization to establish a recovery charter school so high school students may complete high school away from triggers and potentially unhealthy routines. I am pleased to be the senate lead on several other bills that resulted from the Task Force work. While rural residents often lack access to drug treatment programs, Special Session Assembly Bill 8 will authorize three more treatment centers in addition to three existing underserved areas of the state. Special Session Assembly Bill 10 will add more drug investigators to combat the influx of drug trafficking. These proposals have passed both houses of the legislature and await action by the governor. Given the complexity the opioid epidemic presents, we need to continue to work together to fight drug abuse and addiction in Wisconsin. If you are interested in more information regarding the H.O.P.E. Agenda bills or other legislation before the state legislature, you may visit my website at www. harsdorfsenate.com, or contact my office in Madison at 608-266-7745. I welcome your comments and questions.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Rural America deserves a champion To the Editor: The Center for Rural Affairs has fought on behalf of rural communities for nearly 45 years. We are heartened by U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue’s expressions of support for rural communities during his early days in office. However, we are concerned about his current path. On May 11, Sec. Purdue proposed eliminating the position of Undersecretary for Rural Development and moving oversight of Rural Development agencies to the Deputy Secretary, USDA’s second-in-command. If this change is made, we lose the most significant rural advocate within USDA. Rural America stands to suffer as a result. Although USDA has a broad mission to support food and agriculture, Rural Development is the only body with the explicit directive to support rural communities. Rural Development’s broad and complex responsibilities include: • Providing loans for treating wastewater and constructing homes. • Facilitating innovation and encouraging success in entrepreneurship and small business. • Supporting rural broadband access. This announcement follows President

Trump’s proposal to cut USDA’s budget by more than 20 percent. If Sec. Perdue truly wishes to support rural America, he should not eliminate the position of Undersecretary for Rural Development nor support deep cuts to the budget. Instead, he should appoint a strong advocate for rural communities to the position, and support a budget that allows Rural Development to carry out its mission. Rural America deserves a champion who is not distracted by the demands of managing the diverse responsibilities of USDA. By retaining the Undersecretary position, USDA will be better positioned to work with rural people and achieve a vision for America that includes thriving rural communities and economic opportunity for all. I urge everyone who cares about rural issues and rural life to send a letter to Secretary Perdue at: U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Purdue, 1400 Independence Ave. S.W., Washington, DC 20250.

Don’t criminalize Free Speech To the Editor:

The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin vigorously opposes a proposal circulating in the State Capitol that could make it a felony simply to be present at a gathering that could be designated a riot because it is an assembly of at least three persons in which there is violence or property damage, or even just “a clear and present danger” of such. This proposal is clearly intended to squelch free speech through intimidation, and it is not the way we do things in America. It is a drastic overreach and it is unconstitutional. The League supports the right and responsibility of individuals and groups to oppose, by any non-violent means, government actions that weaken or abridge the individual rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Wisconsin Constitution. We support free speech and people’s right to assemble. We work hard to promote civil dialogue in all of our activities at the local, state and national levels. There are already sufficient laws in place to deal with violence and property damage. We do not have to deny citizens’ First Amendment rights to address such problems.

To the Editor: I was so proud when I was old enough to vote in my first presidential election in 1960. I voted for John Kennedy. I voted for every president since, sometimes republicans and sometimes democrats— whoever I thought was the best. I can’t say I’m a proud American now. When Roe vs. Wade passed and permitted women to abort their babies, I think America’s soul died. Satan sure must be pleased with himself. Our country started on a downward spiral that day and every year it gets worse. How can we expect our younger people to believe murder in nay form is wrong when millions of innocent babies are murdered. Think of the school shootings, the shooters grew up with Roe vs. Wade. What are we teaching our young people? Look at our politicians, all they can do is nothing. Dysfunctional is the word of the day. Donna Shogren Grantsburg

WICKLUND: case set for trial CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

hearing on May 18, two witnesses were questioned: Deputy Steve Sarcharski and Officer Julie Mead, both of the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department. Along with the cross-examination of the witnesses, the main point debated was the intent of the accused. The State, represented by Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine, argued that the publication of the post is enough to offer inherent evidence of intent to carry out the threat, or at least cause public panic. He asked for a bind over for the case to continue to trial. Wicklund’s defense attorney, Nathan Cockerham, requested that the felony charge of making terroristic threats be dismissed. He argued that there was no circumstantial evidence that Wicklund was going to follow through on the threats. Cockerham based his request on the fact that Wicklund himself contacted law enforcement and was not found to be in possession of any firearms upon arrest.

According to state law, a threat to make or cause death, bodily harm, or to damage property does not automatically constitute a “terroristic” threat. Wisconsin law states that if a threat is made which results in an evacuation of a building, and the perpetrator is aware of that risk, than the threat can be deemed terroristic. Judge Ken Kutz stated his belief that Wicklund was aware of the threat’s circumstances given the number of people (192) present in the private chatroom at the time of his posting, though he called into question his bipolar diagnosis and past behavioral problems, which could suggest that the post was a misguided way to blow off steam. Kutz ultimately denied the dropping of the felony charge, citing that odds are high that Wicklund guessed that some member of the online group would communicate the threat to the school, resulting in an evacuation. The case is now bound for trial. Wicklund’s next appearance is set for 2 p.m. June 14.

Northwest Wisconsin Speaks draws big crowd in Siren SIREN— The evening of May 12 saw more than 100 area residents pack the Siren Senior Center for an event called Northwest Wisconsin Speaks. Jointly sponsored by Polk Burnett Indivisible, Indivisible of Solon Springs, and Indivisible of Northwestern Wisconsin, the event was design as an opportunity for citizens to speak out on issues of concern to them. State Senator Janet Bewley, State Representative Nick Milroy, and Kelly Westlund representing U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin were there to listen. Testimony went for an hour and a half. Two and a half minutes were allotted per person based on the number who registered to speak. When time was left at the end, others who hadn’t registered were invited to speak and a number did. The vast majority of the comments offered were about health insurance. Many speakers shared compelling stories about personal experiences that had rendered them uninsurable prior to the ACA. Some talked about grandchildren who had reached their

lifetime limits at a young age due to conditions they were born with. At least half a dozen people mentioned the need for “single payer” or “Medicare for all;” these lines were always met with strong applause. Other than health care, topics mentioned included environmental (especially water) issues, gerrymandering and Voter ID, climate change, economic development and education. Moderator Malia Malone established ground rules at the start of the event and both the audience and speakers were respectful. The elected representatives were given the opportunity to speak at the conclusion of public testimony. They all talked about what a valuable experience it was for them; Rep. Milroy said it was the best public event he’d ever attended as a state representative. A video recording was made of the entire event which will be sent to elected officials who were invited but did not attend. More information is available at https://polkburnettindivisible.com.

K-9 ‘Tracker’ to join Sheriff Dept. in June

SIREN—Burnett County Sheriff Department’s new K-9 officer named “Tracker” will be ready to help patrol the county in early June. Tracker and Deputy Mitch Olson have been in training during the past several weeks. They are working as a team on the following techniques and skills required by law enforcement working K-9s. Dual purpose – A dog that is trained to detect illegal drug odor and trained in patrol work. Patrol Work – Tracking, building searches, area searches, handler protection, suspect apprehension. The dog’s goal is not to bite to cause injury; it is to grab and hold onto the suspect at all costs, which can cause injury to the suspect in the process. Handlers, if possible, give the suspect a verbal warning that the dog will be set loose if they do not immediately surrender, and this is often sufficient deterrent so that the dog is not needed. Trained police dogs are not “attack dogs.” Police K-9s apprehend suspects. Bark and hold – A dog that is trained to sit and bark when engaging a suspect. The dog will bite when provoked or threatened. This training method is the second most utilized apprehension force by K9s at this time. Bite and hold – A dog that is trained to bite and hold a suspect, once located. The dog will remain on the bite until called off by handler. This is the standard training method at the kennel. Reasonable force – The canine will demonstrate reasonable force during a passive or submissive encounter. If the person will not respond to an order to surrender, the canine will be commanded to apprehend. The canine must detain the person without engagement. The handler will recall the canine once compliance is obtained. Decoy – A person who assists the handler in training the dog. Decoys take bites from the dog and make necessary corrections. Decoys lay tracks and hide for building and area searches. Exposed bite sleeve – A hardened burlap sleeve

odor. All of these methods are taught to the dog. Passive alert – Dogs are trained to locate drug odor and sit in the area of drugs. Article search – The dog is trained to locate “articles” that are discarded on the ground. This is also know as an evidence search. The dog searches with its nose for items on the ground that were recently contaminated with human scent. The dog is trained to lay down next to the item and face the hand.

th outside t id off clothing l thi that th t protects t t the th decoy d worn on the from the bites. We utilize exposed sleeves on tracks to reward the dog for a success in training. Hidden bite sleeve – A sleeve that is worn under clothing that protects the decoy from bites. Using hidden sleeves avoid equipment affixation. Second-most utilized piece of bite equipment during training. Body bite suit – A full-body padded suit that allows the decoy to be bitten anywhere on the body. A body bite suit is helpful for training leg and back bites. This is the most utilized piece of equipment at the training facility. Training with the suit begins immediately with the dogs to eliminate arm fixation. Muzzle work – The dog is fitted with a muzzle and allowed to fight with his body. The dog builds drive and confidence without using his mouth. The training utilizes muzzle work often with the K9s, who are trained to do tracking, area searches and building searches while in muzzle. Bail out – Equipment is available for squad cars that allow the dog to be remotely deployed from the vehicle. By “bailing” the dog, the dog is able to protect the handler from physical attack. Aggressive alert – Dogs are trained to locate drug odor and to bite, bark or scratch at the source of the

Webb Lake ‘private road’ paving leads to lawsuit over home owner’s arrest BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

WEBB LAKE—A dispute about turning a Webb Lake private road into a town road has escalated into a lawsuit against Burnett County, a county sheriff’s deputy and the Webb Lake board chairman. A Bayfield couple with a second home on Lily Lake filed the lawsuit May 4 in U.S. District Court, western Wisconsin district, claiming their constitutional rights were violated by Burnett County Deputy Joshua Henry’s alleged unlawful, warrantless entry of the couple’s home, alleged unlawful search, seizure, false arrest and alleged use of excessive force. They further claim the Town of Webb Lake Board and Board Chairman Steve Austin took illegal actions involving adding a culvert and laying asphalt on the private road. The town board claims it has maintained the roadway for 10 or more years, which puts it in the public domain, but lawsuit calls that claim a falsehood. Edward and Janet Batton of Bayfield own a second home at 29780 Lily Lane in Webb Lake. They allege Batton underwent unlawful pre-trial detention and incarceration on October 15-16, 2016 for 30 hours in Burnett County Jail without probable cause or due process. The lawsuit claims Batton’s arrest arose from “a conspiracy by defendants to retaliate for petitioning and challenging the Town of Webb Lake’s actions to illegally convert a private road to a town road, and subsequently to pave that road with asphalt adjacent to plaintiffs’ second home in a manner that encroached upon plaintiffs’ private property, so that the alleged town road could be opened up to All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) traffic.” The suit says beginning in about 2009, the Town of Webb Lake began to take steps to convert Lily Lane into a publicly owned town road so to allow ATV traffic

to access local taverns. The suit further says in 2010, after Ed Batton learned of the private road conversion action, he sent a letter and formally petitioned the town, challenging and opposing the conversion and submitting a formal public records request. It alleges former and current members of the Webb Lake town board took illegal steps in the process to convert the road into a public road, culminating with blacktopping the roadway last fall. During 2013-14, Batton submitted complaints to Burnett County Sheriff Dean Roland and Burnett County District Attorney William Norine to initiate a criminal investigation of alleged fraudulent and illegal actions by Austin and the town board. The suit says Roland and Norine told Ed Batton it was a civil matter that he would have to pursue on his own. In August of 2016, Ed Batton wrote again to the town board, alleging the Town was apparently planning to “illegally interfere with the waters of Lily Lake by building a culvert connection between Lily Lake and Nicaboyne Lake without obtaining the necessary approvals from the State of Wisconsin.” Batton told the board he was notifying the DNR. Later last August, Batton learned that the Town was planning to pave Lily Lane with asphalt adjacent to his second home. On September 2, Batton wrote a letter to the town board expressing his concerns about the proposed paving of Lily Lane and the potential negative impact such paving would have on the water quality of Lily Lake. “Paving without an impact study would seem very inappropriate,” Batton wrote. On or about October 14, the town or its agent paved Lily Lane with asphalt. The next day, when Batton arrived at the home, he saw the asphalt paving and al-

leges some of the asphalt had been spread onto parts of his property adjacent to Lily Lane, consisting of about 600 square feet of his private property. Batton’s suit states Batton marked those asphalt areas with “a special temporary marking spray paint, so as not to cause permanent marks, but to begin the process of petitioning the town to remove the asphalt that had recently been placed on his private property by the town without his consent or permission.” Upon learning that Ed Batton had used spray paint on the new asphalt, Austin allegedly called the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department to make a formal complaint of vandalism and criminal damage to property against Ed Batton on behalf of the town. The lawsuit states Austin did so “in his individual capacity and also in his official capacity as Town Chairman of the Town, and he specifically requested on behalf of the town, and as the chief policymaker for the town, that Ed Batton be arrested and that criminal charges be filed against him.” Deputy Henry was dispatched to the scene. He photographed the spray-painted areas and went to Batton’s home, where he allegedly entered the home without warrant and arrested Batton, who was transported to the Burnett County Government Center. There, Batton was held in jail overnight “without a hearing and without probable cause or lawful authority,” the lawsuit states, and in doing so, Batton’s “clearly established rights under the Fourth and 14th Amendments of United States Constitution were violated.” Batton is demanding a civil jury trial “on issues of liability, compensatory, nominal, equitable, punitive and other damages.” Monetary damages and relief would be determined by the jury, the complaint states. No trial date has been approved or set by the court.

Towns Association, North Ambulance get closer to contract BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—The Burnett County Towns Association drew closer Thursday night to selecting a county ambulance contract for the next five years. They also had discussion with the attorney for the St. Croix Band of Chippewa Indians about participating in the ambulance

contract process and perhaps making a financial contribution to that contract. Towns are required by law to provide ambulance services to its residents, while the tribe as a sovereign nation is not under the same obligation. In April, St. Croix Council Chairman Lewis Taylor attended the association SEE AMBULANCE, PAGE 10

Lone runner keeps Syttende Mai alive CONTRIBUTED BY KEN HYATT

GRANTSBURG— In honor of Carlyle Sherstad and the grand Syttende-Mai tradition, Judy Marek of Grantsburg did a solo run/walk of the entire 16.2 mile course Saturday morning, May 20. It has been her annual tradition for several years, either with a friend or by herself on or near May 17, which is Norwegian Indepence Day and Constitution Day. Syttende-Mai (Norwegian for May 17) was the date of Grantsburg’s annual 16.2 mile running race, the brainchild of the esteemed late runner and prominent downtown business owner Carlyle Sherstad. Carlyle honored his Norwegian ancestry on May 17 (or the Saturday nearest) by starting a grand community tradition. The first run was billed at 17 miles in honor of May 17. Later it was realized that it was really only 16.2 miles. Thereafter it was called 10 (miles) plus 10 (kilometers) = 16.2, or the length of a full marathon minus the final 10 miles. This run soon became famous among runners throughout the Midwest. Starting Saturday May 19, 1973, a few local runners competed in the very first Syttende-Mai. A farmer from Mondovi, Wis., milked his cows extra early that morning and found time to get to Grantsburg at the noon start time. On that very hot afternoon, he won the race clad in his Levi’s which he’d worn at that morning’s milking. All the finishers were awarded a wooden plaque with a brass face plate on which was inscribed “Ego Award.” Important lessons were learned: Because of the heat suffered on that first afternoon run, all future runs started at 8 a.m. A couple years later, it was an “Interstate Run” from Pine City to Grantsburg. However, with the dangers of weekend traffic and crossing the narrow old “iron bridge” at the St. Croix, it was de-

cided never to do that route again, as all were thankful no one was killed! Word spread among the elite runners of the Minnesota Distance Runners Association, as they deemed

Grantsburg’s race a great preparation for the June “Grandma’s Marathon” in Duluth. The race continued to grow year by year. One of the highlights was the year WCCO-TV News Anchor Ms. Pat Miles and her friend ran the race with the WCCO helicopter flying overhead. Another year, Officer Hymerle of the St. Paul Police Department was one of the lead runners until he collided with a deer that darted out of the woods. Hymerle suffered lacerations sufficient to transport him to the hospital for stitches. For several years, that stretch of pavement near the corner of Williams Road and County Road D was painted with a sign “Danger, Deer Crossing!” Spectators and runners numbered in the thousands, and so it continued to where Grantsburg became the “runners capitol of America” with more runners and walkers per-capita, even outranking Salem, Ore., which was thought to be #1 in the nation at that time. The local runners, under Carlyle’s guidance, formed the “Wild River Ridge Runners” running club. Several members of this club were inspired to run the prestigious Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth. Carlyle later was honored through the naming of the Grantsburg High School Track and Field “The Carlyle Sherstad Track.” A bronze plaque at the base of the High School’s flag pole commemorated the event. The race continued for a quarter-century. In the late 1980s, Carlyle suffered a stroke which paralyzed him and made speaking difficult. Without Carlyle’s active leadership, it was decided to curtail the race. The Syttende-Mai event became a “grand community history.” However, a few local stalwart runners like Judy continue the tradition by running the original route north and east of town.

meeting and expressed the council’s interest in participating in order to maintain good ambulance coverage at its two casinos in Danbury and Hertel, and to see better response time for its nation and the general public of the northeastern one-third of Burnett County.

may rise 5-6 percent annually during the contract. The problem with proposal #7 is that it did not address longer-than-average ambulance response times to the northeastern towns, including Swiss, Blaine, Webb Lake, Jackson and Scott. The 2016 average ambulance response in that part of Burnett County has averaged 15-20 minutes.

Towns in agreement

Proposal #8 adds fourth truck

While many details remain, a straw poll Thursday night revealed representatives of all 15 towns and three villages were in general agreement that North Ambulance’s proposal #7 would be the best choice if the tribe decides not participate, and proposal #8 would be best if the tribe does agree to help fund the five-year contract. Proposal #7 would maintain three ambulances in Burnett County, as in the current contract, but do so without the anticipated big increase in ambulance costs. The expiring contract has a $683,754 pricetag for 2017, while the Proposal 7 contract for 2018 would cost the county $701,764, a bump of $18,010 or just 2.6 percent. That is far less than the rise of between $1 to $1.3 million the association feared. North Memorial says rates

Reducing response time to the northeast is where the tribe’s contract participation could greatly improve the county’s ambulance coverage. If the tribe decides to participate, the association may select proposal #8, adding a fourth ambulance during the busiest ambulance times of the day, and serve as what North calls a “power truck” or “roamer,” mostly between Danbury on the west and Webb Lake on the east, with staffing eight hours per day. That vehicle’s purpose would be to provide faster response to the northern and eastern towns while adding supplemental service to the rest of the county if an ambulance is in service or on a hospital run. The annual cost for the power truck would be about $247,000 for 2018. The towns association is hopeful the Tribal Council would agree to fund that fourth vehi-

cle’s services for the five-year contract duration. The tribe’s portion, if they agree, would be about one-fourth of the entire Proposal #8 cost for 2018 of $934,935. If Proposal #8 is selected, the tribe’s contribution of an additional $247,000 would represent roughly $617 per tribal member (approximately 400 tribal members in Burnett County), roughly ten times the per capita amount assessed to the towns at $58 per citizen for Burnett County residents.

Request for extension

Adding great urgency to the contract negotiation is the current ambulance contract’s requirement that the towns and villages agree to a new contract no later than June 30. However, North Ambulance is the only contract bidder and is assured to continue its ambulance service contract with Burnett County. That prompted a speaker at Thursday’s meeting to ask North Ambulance representative Rick Wagner to approach his supervisors to extend that contract decision date by two months. That would give North, the towns association and the St. Croix Council more time to reach a decision agreeable to all parties. Wagner said he was confident North would consider that option and probably agree to it.

Why only one bidder?

St. Croix Tribal Attorney Jeff Cormell attended the meeting as requested by the towns association negotiator Chris Sybers and Chair Darwyn Brown. Cormell raised a concern and question on why North Ambulance was the only ambulance service to submit a bid among the half dozen ambulance servces who were invited to bid. Cormell said it was “extremely interesting” that North Memorial was the only service to provide a bid.

Forthcoming meeting

Newly elected Burnett Towns Association Chair Darwyn Brown urged the group to move quickly. Cormell told the board that the Thursday meeting revealed some new information he was not aware of, and that the new information he would relay to them may change the Council’s previous view in a positive way, but the final decision would be the council’s.

Regional Hospice honors volunteers

SIREN—Regional Hospice Services honored its Spooner/Grantsburg team volunteers on May 17 with a luncheon at The Pour House in Siren with 25 staff and volunteers in attendance. Service awards were presented to Sandra Fischer for 10 years, Eldon and JoAnn Freese for 15 years and Jeanette Laqua for 20 years. Regional Hospice Services is a local, non-profit hospice providing services to those with life-limiting illness, regardless of their ability to pay. The volunteer team is a very important part of that service. Volunteers selflessly provide anything from selling a raffle ticket, baking for a bake sale, preparing a hot meal for a patient, mopping a floor, reading a book or just holding the hand of a patient or loved one. They go when

called without a moment of hesitation and with a grateful, giving heart. Asked why they volunteer, they all wholeheartedly agreed it is a privilege to serve the patients and families that Regional Hospice serves, and as volunteers they receive more than they give. It is a neighbor-helping-neighbor service. Regional Hospice Services Spooner/Grantsburg team has 35 active volunteers. It will offer volunteer training this fall and is recruiting military veterans for “We Honor Veterans” training. For more information on Regional Hospice Services and its volunteer program, call the Spooner/Grantsburg office at 715-635-9077.

Under Pressure SUBMITTED BY HALLE BRUNZEL BURNETT MEDICAL CENTER MARKETING DIRECTOR

Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against your artery walls. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is when the force is too high over a long period of time. It may cause serious health problems. Typically, a blood pressure reading of 140/90 or above means you have hypertension. One in three adults are affected and about one in five adults are unaware because most people with hypertension don’t have any symptoms. Many people feel fine and don’t think they need to get their blood pressure checked. Even if you feel normal, your health may be at risk. Hypertension greatly increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, the first and third leading causes of death in the United States. Fortunately, high blood pressure is preventable and can be controlled through healthy actions. These include keeping track of your blood pressure readings, eating a healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fat, exercising regularly, quitting smoking if you are a smoker and limiting your alcohol intake. Alcohol is an important factor to monitor because drinking too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure to unhealthy levels. Having more than three drinks in one sitting temporarily increases your blood pressure, but repeated binge drinking can lead to long-term increases. Heavy drinkers who want to lower blood pressure should slowly reduce how much they drink over one to two weeks. Heavy drinkers who stop suddenly risk developing severe high blood pressure for several days. If you have high blood pressure, avoid alcohol or drink it only in moderation. Moderate drinking is generally considered to be two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women. A drink is one 12 ounces of beer, 4 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits. Moderation matters because a change in drinking habits could help you manage and/or prevent high blood pressure. If cutting back on alcohol is hard for you to do on your own, ask your healthcare provider about getting help. ‘Healthy Minute’ is brought to you by healthyburnett.org

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

Cameo is our featured animal this week. She is a happy seven-month-old calico kitty. Both Cameo’s siblings were adopted, so now she is waiting for someone to notice what a great young gal she is and take her home. Cameo is very sweet and loving and v would make a welcome adw dition to your family. Just d llook at that face! May I have a drum roll p please? Remember Rollo, o our twice-featured kitty? W We are happy to report tthat this handsome dude h has left the building! After ffour months in foster care a and almost six months Cameo at the shelter, Rollo has found his furever home. One of our amazing volunteers has become his new family and we are ecstatic. If I didn’t already have eight kitties and two dogs, I would have brought him home myself. The numbers are in and our annual Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser was a big success. Including the dinner, silent auction and raffle, the amount totaled $5,143, which goes entirely to help the animals. We couldn’t do it without you, so thank you to all the businesses and individuals who made this possible. Thank you also to the volunteers and staff who represented the shelter in such a positive manner. A huge shout-out to our new Shelter Director, Cheri, for taking the lead and bringing new ideas to the event. We would also like to say how much we appreciate Polk-Burnett Round-up for the $700 grant we received which will be used to purchase a microscope and supplies. Thank you! This will enable us to do fecal exams at the shelter and save about $2,400 a year. Please note the shelter has changed its open hours. The new hours are 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Friday. Saturday hours remain the same from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

MADISON—The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reminds farmers and ranchers, families and small businesses affected by the severe storms and flooding in Wisconsin that USDA has several programs that provide assistance before, during and after disasters. USDA staff in regional, state and county offices are ready to help. USDA encourages Wisconsin residents to contact the following offices to meet their individual needs: Property and Shelter When floods destroy or severely damage residential property, USDA Rural Development can assist with providing priority hardship application processing for single family housing. Under a disaster designation, USDA Rural Development can issue a priority letter for next available multi-family housing units. While these programs do not normally have disaster assistance authority, many of USDA Rural Development programs can help provide financial relief to small businesses hit by natural disasters, including low-interest loans to community facilities, water environmental programs, businesses and cooperatives and to rural utilities. More information can be found on the Rural Development website or by contacting the state offices. Food Safety and Food Assistance Severe weather forecasts often present the possibility of power outages that could compromise the safety of stored food. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) recommends that consumers take the necessary steps before, during and after a power outage to reduce food waste and minimize the risk of foodborne illness. FSIS offers tips for keeping frozen and refrigerated food safe and a brochure that can be downloaded and printed for reference at home. If you have questions about the safety of food in your home, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET or visit AskKaren.gov to chat live with a food safety specialist, available in English and Spanish. Food and Nutrition Services The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) coordinates with state, local and voluntary organizations to provide food for shelters and other mass feeding sites. Under certain circumstances, states also may request to operate a disaster household distribution program to distribute USDA foods directly to households in need. In addition, FNS may approve a state’s request to implement a disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) when the President declares a major disaster for individual assistance under the Stafford Act in areas affected by a disaster. State agencies may

Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible. Website: hsburnettcty.org and Facebook: Humane Society of Burnett County.

also request a number of disaster-related SNAP waivers to help provide temporary assistance to impacted households already receiving SNAP benefits at the time of the disaster. Resources for disaster feeding partners as well as available FNS disaster nutrition assistance can be found on the FNS Disaster Assistance website. Crop and Livestock Loss The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers many safety-net programs to help producers recover from eligible losses, including the Livestock Indemnity Program, the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program and the Tree Assistance Program. The Emergency Conservation Program and the Emergency Forest Restoration Program provide funding and technical assistance for participants to rehabilitate agriculture lands damaged by natural disasters. Producers located in counties that received a primary or contiguous disaster designation are eligible for low-interest emergency loans to help them recover from production and physical losses. Compensation also is available to producers who purchased coverage through the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program, which protects non-insurable crops against natural disasters that result in lower yields, crop losses or prevented planting. USDA encourages farmers and ranchers to contact their local FSA office to learn what documents can help the local office expedite assistance, such as farm records, receipts and pictures of damages or losses. Community Recovery Resources For declared natural disasters that lead to imminent threats to life and property, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) can assist local government sponsors with the cost of implementing recovery efforts like debris removal and streambank stabilization to address natural resource concerns and hazards through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program. NRCS staff is coordinating with state partners to complete damage assessments in preparation for sponsor assistance requests. NRCS also can help producers with damaged agricultural lands caused by natural disasters such as floods. The NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program provides financial assistance to repair and prevent excessive soil erosion that can result from high rainfall events and flooding. Conservation practices supported through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program protect the land and aid in recovery, can build the natural resource base and might help mitigate loss in future events.

Hats off to those who serve BY SEAN DEVLIN

BURNETT COUNTY— “This is the time that we can memoralize the lives and the memories of our officers who have served your last watch,” Chaplain Lucy Basler stated at the start of the Burnett County Law Enforcement Memorial. Basler honored those who made the ultimate sacrifice, including Allen Albee who lost his life in 1991, Paul Gramer in 1968 and Richard Schinzing in 1974. While the event is dedicated to those who have fallen, the men and woman who serve currently are also given thanks. The men and women who wear the badge of honor each day of their lives stood at the front of the room in the Burnett County Government Center with still posture as they reflected on their lives as law enforcement officials. And, in return, the audience gazed upon them with admiration and gratitude. Mark Pettis took to the podium to remind people that those who have passed and those who serve today are people just like the rest of us. “Who are these people that have chosen such a dangerous profession? These dedicated people are sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, moms, dads, grandmothers and grandfathers.” He addressed the law enforcement officials directly, “I’m sure at times you question your decision. Stopping a motorist without knowing what is awaiting you, stopping a hunter with a loaded gun, answering a domestic call must be nerve-racking and it takes a special person. Protecting and serving friends and families and others is a serious job that requires dedication, commitment and integrity, and you show it everyday.”

Pirates win doubleheader over Comets BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—On Tuesday, May 16 the Grantsburg Pirates softball team hosted a tough Cameron Comets squad and were able to come away with two wins, 11-10 and 14-3, to boost their conference record to 11-1. It was an interesting evening of weather, as the teams sat out a 30-minute lightning delay in the first game that seemed to play in the Pirates’ favor. They were down by one run, 10-9, before the delay. When the game resumed, the Pirates started the bottom of the seventh with a line drive hit by Claire Palmquist to put the tying run on the bases. Rachel Glover was hit by a pitch, and the go-ahead run was on. A wild pitch moved the runners to second and third. Another wild pitch got past the Comet catcher, and Palmquist and Glover both scored to seal the 11-10 victory. Mackenna Johnson hit two

home runs this game, her first in the second inning to put the Pirates up 4-0. Her second came in the fourth to help the hometown girls claw their way back into the game after the Comets scored 10 runs over two innings. Johnson’s home run brought it back to a respectable 7-10 contest at the end of four innings. Grantsburg scored twice in the sixth inning to come within one run before the weather delay. In the second game of the doubleheader, the Pirates fed off of their late-game rally from game one, taking a commanding 14-3 win. Jordyn McKenzie had the big bat this game, sending the ball over the fence in the fourth inning to give her Pirates the lead. The Comets took back the lead in the fifth, 3-2, but that was when the Pirates opened the game up, scoring 12 runs on 11 hits in the sixth and seventh innings to get the win.

Ramblers fall to Tigers

Warriors edge Tigers

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

EAU CLAIRE—The Webster Tigers traveled to Carson Park in Eau Claire to meet the Regis Ramblers, and came away with an impressive 6-3 win over a Division III, third ranked team. “Some people will see this and be surprised,” Regis coach Andy Niese said. “But this is plain and simple a very good team.” (Quote from the Leader Telegram) The Tigers got on the board first, in the very first inning when Trenton Wols singled, stole second, and scored on a single by Hunter Gustafson. Regis tied it at one in the bottom of the second on a single, a walk and another single. Pitcher Jordy Larson kept the Ramblers bats quiet for the next two innings as the Tigers were able to score two in the third and two in the fourth to go up 5-1. In the third, Jack Washburn walked and stole second. Gustafson singled him home. Brad Sigfrids doubled, Larson walked and Austin Spafford singled Gustafson home. Three singles by Trevor Gustafson, Wols and Washburn got one run home in the fourth. Then after one out, Sigfrids singled another run home. The Ramblers narrowed the game by two in their half of the fifth. A walk, a single, a wild pitch and a fly out got one run in. A groundout got the next run in, 5-3 Webster. The Tigers put an insurance run across in the seventh then Caleb Pardun got on via an error. Matt Buffington was hit by a pitch, and an error enabled Pardun to score. Regis singled to open the bottom of the seventh, but

CLEAR LAKE—“The boys played a bit flat last night after some big wins last week,” said Tiger coach Jarrod Washburn following the 6-5 set back against the Clear Lake Warriors. “We made some uncharacteristic mistakes defensively that cost us in their one big inning that you just can’t do against good teams and expect to win. We didn’t have a good night at the plate only getting three hits. We had some good at bats, taking a bunch of walks, but just couldn’t get the big hit.” Clear Lake scored five runs in the bottom of the third, highlighted by two doubles during the inning, along with two walks and an error. They later put an additional run on the board in the fifth via a single and another double. Webster scored two in the fourth. Five walks and a sacrifice fly ball got the runs in. A run in the fifth came by two walks and a double by Brad Sigfrids. Webster had the bases loaded in the seventh. A single, three walks and a hit batsman got two runs in, but a strikeout ended the inning and the game. Caleb Pardun pitched four innings and Trevor Gustafson hurled for two. They gave up six hits, walked five and struckout two. “The boys are taking it well. They know they didn’t play up to standards and if they did the outcome would’ve been different. They’ll bounce back just fine.”

the runner was left stranded. Jordy Larson pitched 4 2/3 innings, giving up six hits and three runs. He walked five and struck out one. Washburn finished in relief. Wols was three for four with an RBI. Trevor Gustafson, Hunter Gustafson and Brad Sigfrids all had two hits apiece with Hunter getting two RBI’s. “This is a big win for us,” Jarrod Washburn said. “It’s nice to come down here and play a team the quality of Regis. And it’s nice to have the kids be able to play at this beautiful park.”

Eagles get by Pirates BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Unity Eagles scored six runs in the second inning to go up 7-1 and held off the Grantsburg Pirates 9-7 on Monday night. “After a string of good games, we reverted to making a few mistakes,” reported Coach Pete Johnson. “We had chances.” Both Unity and the Pirates scored in their respective halves of the first inning. Grantsburg got theirs on a single by Austin Wedin and a double by Bryce Roufs. In the second with one out, an error, a double, another error, a walk and two singles paved the way for six Eagle runs. The Pirates, though, came back with four in the bottom of the second. A walk to Sven

Johnson, and an error allowed Ricky Clark to get on board. A wild pitch moved them up. David Nelson walked and then a wild pitch moved him along the base paths. Austin Wedin grounded out, but a run came home in the process. Luke Anderson walked and Bryce Roufs hit his second double of the night, scoring more. Unity added one in the third inning and one in the fourth, whereas the Pirate bats were quiet. Again, the Eagles added another run and Grantsburg failed to score in the fourth. Grantsburg added two in the fifth. Anderson singled. Roufs hit his third double and Austin Casey singled. An error allowed Sven Johnson to get on board, but he was left stranded.

Subsequently, the Dragon pitchers kept the game close as well with a stingy defense behind them. Twice more, TL/C stranded two base runners in the third inning and the seventh. A strikeout ended the threat in the seventh. Siren got their run in the fifth inning. With one out, Lukas Hunter walked as did Bailey Mangen. On a ground out, Hunter was able to get across home plate safely. The Dragons had a man on second in the seventh, but a fly out to the short stop ended the threat and the game. Siren pitchers gave up just five hits, walked but two and struck out four. “We’re glad to be at home for the first game of the playoffs,” said Coach Jon Ruud. The Dragons host Winter on Thursday.

Pirates blank Luck/Frederic BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LUCK—A seven-run first inning paved the way for the Grantsburg Pirates to win a 23-0 contest over Luck-Frederic last Friday in Luck. Twelve Pirates went to the plate in that inning. With one out, Luke Anderson got on via an error and Bryce Roufs followed with a home run. A single by Austin Casey, a double by Jacob Barnard and a hit batsman in Sven Johnson put more runners on board. Two successive singles by Ricky Clark and David Nelson came next. After a second out, another single, this one by Austin Wedin, enabled more runs to cross the plate. Four more runs came in during the second inning with three in the third

and a single run in the fourth. Eight more tallies were counted in the fifth inning. Besides his home run in the first, Roufs hit a solo shot to start the third inning. He finished the day three for five with three RBIs. Austin Wedin was three for four with an RBI. David Nelson was also three for four with three RBIs. Jacob Barnard was three for three, including a double, with two RBIs. Barnard was on the mound for three innings for Grantsburg, giving up just two hits. Luke Anderson and Ramsey Clark each worked an inning in relief. “We seemed to see the ball really well,” commented Coach Pete Johnson of his team. “Bryce hit a couple of balls into the jet stream.”

WEBSTER—“Zebro gave us fits in the game five days ago, but we were on him tonight,” said Pirate Coach Pete Johnson. “We had hitters up and down the lineup.” Grantsburg put seven runs across in the top of the first inning and went onto defeat the Shell Lake Lakers 16-1 last Thursday. Austin Wedin walked to start the game. Luke Anderson got on via an error and stole second. Austin Casey got on and stole second. A single by Jacob Barnard and a double by Sven Johnson came next. Following the second out, David Nelson, Ramsey Clark, Wedin and Anderson all singled.

Shell Lake got their only run of the game in their half of the first. With one out, a walk and three successive singles got their run across. Grantsburg pitchers Ricky Clark and Luke Anderson kept the Lakers at bay for the remainder of the game, the last two innings going one-two-three. Five singles along with five Laker errors and a couple of stole bases led to the eight-run fifth inning for the Pirates. Between Clark and Anderson, the Lakers got only four hits. For the Pirates, Anderson was three for five with an RBI. Ramsey Clark, Sven Johnson, Jacob Barnard and Austin Wedin each had two hits. Clark totaled three RBIs in the contest.

Pirate softball wins conference BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

SHELL LAKE—“There has never been a team like this one. You can compare the games to the Wisconsin weather,” Pirates’ assistant coach Steve Johnson said of this year’s team. “You just need to wait a few minutes/ innings and the entire landscape changes.” The Shell Lake game was no different. After being down by as much as four runs in the sixth inning, the Pirates would explode to take game one in eight innings, 14-9, followed by a 6-0 shutout to sweep the Lakers in a doubleheader at Shell Lake last week. The sweep gives the Pirates a 13-1 conference record and a West Lakeland Conference championship. This is the 13th consecutive conference crown and 17th overall. The Pirates will host the Lakers on Wednesday, May 24 in the Regional semi-finals. The winner will face Clayton/Turtle Lake in the finals.

Weather a factor at Conference Track meet BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

CLEAR LAKE—All the county coaches had some words regarding the weather which was an influence at the Conference Track meet at Clear Lake last Thursday. “Second try for the West Lakeland Conference meet was a success. Not a warm sunny day for the month of May, but nice to finally get a meet in,” said Webster Coach Roy Ward. After some wild weather last Tuesday in Clear Lake, it was nice to get the conference meet in although it was much colder. It gave our athletes one last chance to compete before looking ahead to our Regional meet,” added Grantsburg Coach Kim Hallberg. “The weather wasn’t ideal and we had a lot of kids running into strong winds,” commented fellow Grantsburg Coach Brad Nelson. “What a day, or “days.” NEVER have I seen a meet started, stopped, and re-started. I have been coaching for 28 years and was involved in Track and Field starting in seventh grade while a student in Janesville, Wisconsin. NEVER! The safety of the students was paramount in the decision-making process, and that was the main priority,” expressed Siren Coach Wayne Koball. Siren had a first place in the boy’s discus with Tanner Lee doing the honors. Lee also came in third in the shot put with Noah Koball coming in fourth. On the girls’ side, Julia Cederberg was second in the discus. The 4x100 meter relay team (McKnight, Cederberg, Kosloski, Buskirk) was fourth. Abby Kosloski was tied for fourth in the high jump. For Webster, Joey Formanek came in first in the 400 meter dash. Andrew Ruiz was first in the 800 and 1600 meter runs and second in the 3200. Dustin Kern was second in the 300 meter hurdles and the 4x800 meter relay team (Stubbe, Schaaf, Erickson, Stan-

ton) was third. Austin Moser was second in the discus. Ali Moritz placed third in the 300 meter hurdles with the 4x100 meter relay team (Winkler, Ivic, Petersen, Koelz) getting third. Sadie Koelz was first in the pole vault and also third in the high jump. Tiringo Mosher took first in the shot put and third in the discus. For the Grantsburg boys, the 4x100 meter relay team (Arnold, J. Chenal, L. Chenal, Fagnan) was first as was the 4x200 meter relay team (Peltier, Volkmann, McKinley, Fagnan). The 4x400 meter relay team (Peltier, Olson, MacKean, McKinley) placed third. John Chenal took second in the high jump and was first in the shot put. Gracie Gerber of the Pirates was third in the 400 meter dash and the 800 meter run. Hallie Jensen was second in the 1600 meter run and first in the 3200 meter run. Rhiana Pochman placed second in the 300 meter hurdles. The 4x400 meter relay team (Bertelsen, Harmon, Blume, Gerber) placed first and the 4x800 meter team (Ohnstad, A. Oachs, Smestad, Brande) was third. “The 4x200 ran a nice race consisting of Kia, Savannah, Elizabeth and Skyler. Their time was 2:02.93 for a fourth place finish,” said Coach Roy Ward. “Sadie almost had the (pole vault) conference record after clearing 9-0. The bar was set at 9-7 and she had three nice attempts. She was the conference champ all four years. “Tingo had a great meet. She won the shot with 32-10.75 earning the All-conference Champ title. She also earned a PR with a 92-04 throw in the discus for a third place All-Conference honorable mention. “The girls finished fourth. We are very proud of them and their performances,” concluded Coach Ward, regarding the Webster girls.

Dustin and Jamison both made finals. Jamison moved up a spot in finals, but ran his season-best time of 23.96 in prelims. Dustin was fourth and Jamison fifth. “The distance kids had full plates. Senior Andrew Ruiz was the conference Champ on the 800 and 1600. He was second in the 3200 earning All-Conference status on that event as well. He even scored some points placing sixth in the pole vault. He knows how to make his distance coach happy. “Mason looked really good in the 4x800. He was honorable mention in the open 800. He raced awesome in the mile with his lifetime PR of 4:47 for another honorable mention third place. “Dustin continues to run the hurdles really well. He ran a PR race in the 110s with a time 17.54, placing fourth. Dustin got an All-Conference medal in the 300s with his personal best time of 43.58. “Austin earned All-Conference in the discus with a throw of 135-1.5 for a second-place finish. The boys team finished third. We are proud of their efforts. They did what was asked of them and performed to our expectations. We are thankful for a great group of athletes and are looking forward to Regionals.” “We are a small team, and we have been struggling with keeping all of our athletes ready to roll,” commented Siren Coach Wayne Koball. “The loss of even one person significantly effects our team. We felt the impact this past week. “Tanner Lee did prevail as conference champion in the discus, adding yet another conference title in the throws events for Siren. Under the direction of Coach Rick Larson, our throwers continue to set the pace for many local athletes. Tanner was no exception. “Julia Cederberg earned All Conference recognition in the discus, and is looking forward to a push for Colfax, and even LaCrosse this week. “Jade Horstman came up a bit short,

but her triple-jump distances have broken into the record books here in Siren with the likes of Siren greats, Kristin Herrick, Deanna Johnson, and Alison Kurkowski. She is among the legends and has two years left. “We weathered the storm, and we are anxious for the week ahead,” finished Coach Koball. “The Conference meet gave us some indication of where we can hope to be most competitive in the coming regional and sectional meets,” commented Coach Brad Nelson of Grantsburg. “It also has given us an indication of which athletes might have state potential. We had three Conference Champion titles: John Chenal in shot put, our 4x100m relay team, and our 4x200m relay team. The weather wasn’t ideal and we had a lot of kids running into strong winds, and there were a couple other disappointments, but overall, we’re very happy with our performance. We have some tough competition in our conference, but we expect to have more opportunities to win at regionals.” “After some wild weather last Tuesday in Clear Lake, it was nice to get the conference meet in although it was much colder,” commented Grantsburg Coach Kim Hallberg. “It gave our athletes one last chance to compete before looking ahead to our Regional meet. “Highlights for the girls were Hallie Jensen taking first place in the two mile as well as our 4x4 team placing first which is made up of Danielle Bertelsen, Brittanie Blume, Linda Harmon and Gracie Gerber. Many kids really stepped up their performances. “At our Regional meet, I would expect that we would be competitive as a team as well as many of our individual and relay events; we are excited about the meet! We are looking forward to nicer weather this week for Regionals and Sectionals. This season has been tough weather-wise,” concluded the coach.

TRACK: Local athletes make good showing at Regionals; head to Sectionals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

From Kim Hallberg, Grantsburg. “We were pretty excited with the number of athletes advancing to the sectional meet. We had a number of great, gutty performances by many of our athletes. The boys winning the meet was definitely a highlight. The girls were only 2.5 points away from the regional title, which was a goal of ours as a team, so that was a little disappointing for our girls. However, we are focusing on the future and we have a lot of athletes who have the sectional meet to look forward to!” Brad Nelson, Grantsburg, says, “The boys team took the Regional trophy for the first time since 2002. We worked really hard with this goal in mind and we are thrilled to have reached it. We have had a rough season with bad weather and canceled meets, but this was a very meaningful win for us. We have a big team and a victory

like this comes from every athlete who places, not just those who take first. I’m really proud of this team and we are looking to be competitive at Sectionals on Thursday.” SIREN Wayne Koball, Siren, exclaims, “We are extremely pleased with our results. We have obviously struggled this season, but we had some wonderful performances last night. We have two discus throwers moving on for the boys. Gavyn Anton made his mark last night as a freshman, moving on with a throw of 125’11” edging out his mentor, Tanner Lee, who has had a great career throwing the discus for the green wave. Noah Koball, my oldest son, qualified in the same event, placing second with a toss of 128’5” which he opted to do on his LAST throw, making his father rather nervous. A strong tradition of father/son

throwers continues in Siren with Mr. Murphy, Mr. Larson, and now me having the chance to watch our sons throwing for the home town. Tanner Lee did redeem himself in the shot put, throwing well enough for a third place and a berth at the sectional meet. “For the girls, we had Abby Kosloski inch even closer to the 4’6” mark that has eluded her all season, sneaking in for a fourth place finish at 4’5”. “Jade Horstman was the utilitarian athlete she is proving herself to be, jumping for a third-place finish in the triple jump. The other shining star of the night was Rylee O’Brien, breaking the three-minute barrier in the 800 meter run. As a freshman, she shows great promise. “Finally, the brothers Highstrom/Koball ran the mile relay in style. The greatest of friends and the worst of enemies are brothers, but the four

of them combine to provide a happy finish to a meet. While not being overly competitive in this event, the essence of track and field is exemplified in their efforts. The “can do” attitude is a powerful message and we can all learn from it. We are excited and honored to move to Colfax with these athletes; we will enjoy the magic that is Sectionals.” WEBSTER From Coach Roy Ward, “I decided to spend the bus ride home getting quotes from athletes and coaches. Here is what a few of them had to say. “I’m so proud of how much we improved throughout the season and I’m really excited to see how Sectionals are gonna go.” “I made it to finals in triple and smiled the whole time.” “I didn’t like it. I did bad. I’m never wearing my hair like this again because it is bad luck.” “I’m going to Sectionals! I’m

running faster next time.” “It was just a good day. I’m excited to see how much our 4x800 team will PR by and how much better we’ll become. I was happy with my mile and 800. Can’t wait to see how far I can get it down at Sectionals.” “I have no words.” “I wish my Dad would have seen how great I did tonight.” “All I have to say is just wait, because the best is yet to come.” “I’m very proud of how the kids competed today, especially the kids seeded fifth or sixth who digged deep and stole a couple spots.” Coach Anderson. “It was very awesome to see so much passion and fire. The way they encouraged each other made me proud to be one of their coaches.” Coach Pyke. “I am thankful for a great following of fans, amazing athletes and fellow coaches.” Coach Ward.

We needed the rain, but I think we have had enough for a while. We will be floating through Siren if it doesn’t stop. The Bingo players enjoyed the treats furnished by Harry and helper. Millie won the big pot. Come join the fun at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. There were five pool players and Darrald was the winner. Four came to play Dominoes and Sharon was the winner. They play at 1 p.m. every Thursday and they always have room for more. Come join us for lunch Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. Pick

up a menu, you are sure to find some favorites. Bring a friend and check out all the center has to offer. Call the day before to reserve your noon meal at 715-866-5300. While you are there, check out what we call the “Revolving Bargain Table.” It has new things almost every day. If there are activities you would like to have at the center, let us know and we will try our best to fit them in. We can always use volunteers to help with the activities. If interested, contact one of us. The center is here for all seniors to enjoy, so please take advantage of it.

Check out our new signs on the fence. Anyone looking for the center will find it right behind Wayne’s Grocery store and you can’t miss the signs. We play Horse Race at 1 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month. Wii bowling for the summer is at 10 a.m. on the third Friday. If you are coming to bowl and staying for lunch, and we hope you will, be sure to call in the day before. Remember: The only thing constant about life is change, and that keeps us on our toes. See you at the center.

God present in the midst of change â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do not let your hearts be troubled....In My Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house there are many dwelling placesâ&#x20AC;? John 14:1-2.

Pastor Doug Olson Yellow Lake Lutheran Church

Our lives are in a constant state of change. High school seniors are about to leave the familiar halls, classrooms, teachers and classmates. They enter into unfamiliar places for military service, college, work, new communities. In the middle of the night, a baby is born to an anxious family. A retired person has sold a home years after the death of a

spouse. Emotions flood the heart over memories of where they had dwelt together. A job is lost. Consequently, the worker who is a parent or grandparent does not have enough money for the basic needs of life. Are we alone in a changing life situation? Does anyone care? Is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help present with us? Today, in the midst of change and lots of unfairness, we are urged by the Risen Jesus to see that our home is always in the caring arms of God. Dwelling places are those plac-

Judges are people too SEAN DEVLIN SENTINEL EDITOR

BURNETT COUNTY— If anyone in Burnett County didn’t know the name Mel Mogen before 2016, they know it now. However, another word may bounce in the psyche of a person when her name is read or heard, asserting at the forefront and deeming her title – Judge Mel Mogen. It’s the same situation with many public figures; in the minds of most, the individual and occupation become one. And, while many people live for their positions – especially when working in public service – it is easy to forget that this person jokes, laughs, has hobbies and fascinations, and when engaged, that person is not thinking of their job. They are like everyone else. They are not just teachers, cops, singers, bankers, judges. They are people. Mel Mogen is just that; she is a real person. She has been through difficult times and has faced some of the challenges that many others have faced. She survived a divorce and splitting of a family, suffered the loss of a child, and had ups and downs in her career. Life has not always dealt Mogen a winning hand, but perseverance and dedication got her through. Most importantly, those trials and tribulations have given her the ability to connect and relate with people. But, speaking of people, real people... Did you know ‘The Judge’ went to culinary school? Melissia - ‘Missy’ - Mel - Christianson-Mogen went to culinary school. But, before we get into that aspect of Judge Mogen, let’s take a look at the beginning and how it all came to be. “I remember baking as early as six or seven. My mom bought me my first kid’s cookbook (which I still have) when I was six. It had really simple recipes. That is what started it all,” she said. Mogen grew up on a dairy farm in Burnett County. Many generations of her family farmed. Her parents were driven, hardworking people. Her father managed much of the farm as her mother embarked on a mission to obtain a nursing degree in Superior when Mogen was approximately 11 years old. The combination of diligent parents, rural life and a beginners’ cookbook is what helped influence Mogen’s love and affinity for cooking. “When my mom was getting her nursing degree, she would stay in Superior during the week, so my brother and I had to do certain chores. One of us would have to do the outside chores and take care of the lawn and animals and help my dad with the barn chores. The other would have to do the inside chores of cleaning the

house and cooking dinner.” Mel made her way through Siren schools, graduated college with a double major in record time and, like most people, got a job to save money. She began working a marketing job after college to build her law school fund. Now, many may feel a full-time job is quite enough to occupy time and do not need to venture out for more challenges, but not Mogen. “Culinary school was just a spur of the moment thing. I was working around 30-40 hours a week, but then would get home and was bored. The job was very flexible. So, I looked into culinary school at Fox Valley Tech in Appleton where I was living at the time because I knew I loved cooking and wanted to do something I would enjoy that would keep me busy,” she said. Generally, a trip to the movies or the mall is a spur of the moment decision, not culinary school. But, like her parents before her, Mogen does not require a push to

Come spend the day in Grantsburg and enjoy a great variety of cars and trucks. Our Classic Car & Truck Show is a part of a three day celebration for Grantsburg’s Big Gust Days, honoring the memory of Anders “Big Gust” Anderson, Grantsburg’s legendary 7 foot, 6 inch tall village marshal of the early 1900’s. There are several events for the entire family to enjoy— the Antique, Classic Car & Truck Show, Antique & Classic Tractor Show, Motorcycle Show, a Pancake Breakfast at the Fire Department and a Golf Tournament at the Grantsburg Golf Course. If you are planning to attend our Car Show, I would like to ask you to please take the time to fill out our Pre-Registration Form and let us know what you will be bringing to the show. The more people and vehicles we can get Pre-Registered the less time it takes for us to check you in and the more time you get to enjoy the Show.

do something. It’s an internal longing to better herself that makes her the person she is. And, she enjoys it. While there, she explored cooking, the process and the intricate avenues of taste, but she also explored another interest of hers – learning. “I truly enjoyed everything I did and learned. This was the first time that I was not striving for the goodold “A” in the class. I was taking it all in and learning all I could. I wanted to do the best at it not for a grade, but because I truly had a passion and enjoyed it.” Now, as a working mother, Mogen finds it difficult to chisel out time to cook. Looking forward, she knows that her life is about to change – she will be sworn in as Burnett County Judge on July 10. However, with her love for cooking in her pocket, she hopes she will be able to use it to unwind and meditate when she has a few moments to relax and has some time away from the kids. “Cooking is very much therapeutic for me. It is something that I do to unwind and to try new things. Being a working mom, it is very hard to enjoy cooking. It is always a rush to get dinner on the table and get the kids fed, homework done, showers had, and to put the kids to bed on time. It is hard to find time to be able to cook the way I’d like due to my work and home schedule. I love holidays and special occasions because that is when I get to cook and try many new recipes that I’ve been wanting to try. I always make way too much food. I think I could feed an army or at least my neighborhood.” In the past, Mogen has planned ahead in order to spend time in the kitchen. “Every couple of months I set aside a Saturday to cook from morning until night and make freezer meals so we can pull something out the night before to thaw and then bake it for dinner. This way our family gets great home-cooked food and it doesn’t take hours of prep that night.” Soon Mogen will be spending time adapting to her new position as Judge. She will train by spending long hours in courtrooms job shadowing judges in the 10th Judicial District. She has already been attending judicial conferences and judicial education seminars to prepare for when she is given the long, black robe. Saying she is dedicated to her role is an understatement, she will live the role. She hopes the residents of Burnett County understand how grateful she is for their support, and that she will go to whatever means necessary to ensure she does the job she has been entrusted to do. In addition, she hopes to keep a firm grasp on the other vital aspects of her life as well. She wants to continue to find tranquility and freedom in the kitchen. “I come from a long line of great cooks. My grandmother and mother are terrific. I was taught to use taste to season. I am not a recipe follower. I always adapt and adjust recipes to taste. I eyeball things. In life and in my job, I am a rule follower. In cooking, I feel free and do things to the beat of my own drum.” Mogen intends to pass the joy of cooking on to her children as well. Cooking is more than working with food. It is love and passion made visible. This is the story of another neighbor in Burnett County. Check back soon for the next featured individual.

MADISON (AP) — A state appeals court has upheld the conviction of a man serving a 40-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to fatally shooting a Superior man in 2014. The 3rd District Court of Appeals on Tuesday upheld the felony murder conviction of 20-year-old Chance Andrews. He pleaded guilty to felony murder in the shooting death of Garth Velin during a drug-related attempted robbery at his home. The appeals court rejected Andrews’ arguments that prosecutors for the state violated a plea agreement and that his attorney at the trial was ineffective. Four others were charged with crimes related to Velin’s shooting.
