Answering the call Siren breaks ground on new fire hall

Gov. Walker spends a day in Siren

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN— Following a full morning of activities, from turning over dirt at the Siren Fire Association’s official ground-breaking ceremony to offering remarks at the Burnett County Law Enforcement Memorial – with a constituent listening session in between – Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker sat with local media Thursday and briefly discussed topics of the day.

SIREN—Siren hasn’t seen a new fire hall since 1954, when the department moved into the old creamery building on State Road 70, west of the stoplights.

That all changed Thursday when the Siren Fire Association broke ground for its new $1.3 million fire hall.

“This project started back in 2012, on my watch,” former fire chief Tom Howe told the three dozen or so attending last week’s ceremony. “It had gotten to the point we just needed more room — we were trying to cram seven trucks into a building that originally could house four.”

The Towns of Daniels, Siren and LaFollette, along with the Village of Siren, are the four municipalities which make up the Siren Fire District.

“We were delayed a bit when the contract was not awarded when we wanted,” Town of Daniels Chairman Mike Huber said of the facility. “With the six to eight weeks it’ll take for the girders and rafSEE FIRE, PAGE 7

Listening session For an hour and a half last Thursday morning, Governor Walker listened as invited guests talked about what they like about Wisconsin, where do they see the state in 20 years and how do we get there.

“We purposely don’t invite the media because we have found having the media there, especially TV, intimidates people,” the Governor shared.

Thursday was the 29th listening session the governor has scheduled to date in 2016.

“There are always some unique topics, but usually they are pretty consistent — more jobs to keep young people local, better educational opportunities for those jobs, how to continue to promote tourism and better access to broadband internet,” Gov. Walker described. “The one unique thing we talked about is media coverage of Wisconsin news in this corner of the state — people said it’s frustrating to only hear what’s going on in Minnesota politics and not their own state.”

He admitted he didn’t know if anything could be done on that issue in the short term.

SIREN—Sunday brought to a close the second season of Siren High School’s trap shooting team.

“It gives kids another opportunity to be involved in an organized sport,” is coach Brad Morris’ reasoning behind getting the team started. “Let’s face it, not every kid is into football or basketball.”

In fact, one of his biggest motivations behind offering the sport is that clay target shooting is a skill the kids can use the rest of their lives.

Jim Nelson finds job he loves in his hometown

welding.

Even though he’s using many of the same tools as when he worked on combines — chisel, hammer, pliers, screwdrivers, allen wrenches — he uses them in both the same and in different ways from the combine work.

“With my job here at the Dairy, I work on electronics, welding, wrenching, and fluids. I work with gases like CO² and nitrogen, plus removing oxygen from bags to preserve cheese.

“And I do electrical work too. Unlike a combine, where it’s nearly all 12 volts, at the cheese plant we deal with five volts, 12 volts, 110, 220 and 480 volts.”

Nelson works on many electric motors, plus centrifuges to separate milk, cream and whey. “The centrifuges spin at 1800 rpms and weigh over a ton. There is such a huge variety of equipment here,” he marvels.

His work also entails anhydrous ammonia. “Your car has three pounds of it, but our plant uses 8,800 pounds of anhydrous to cool the entire plant.”

And, he says, there is always more to learn. Sometimes he works alone. At other times he’s part of a team. He drives a skid-steer, forklift and pay-loader. “I get on-the-job training working in electricity, refrigeration, plumbing, sanitation, and product conveyance.

I’m also a fabricator and welder, using several types of welding.”

Editor’s Note: Fifth in a series about career opportunities for graduates exploring options to live and work in their home community. At a Career Expo on Thursday afternoon, June 2, at Grantsburg High School, students will learn of job opportunities from area businesses who will showcase their hometown jobs and the benefits they offer. That evening, the Career Expo will open to the general public. See related story on this page.

In his junior year of high school, Jim Nelson almost dropped out.

“I was on the verge of quitting (Grantsburg) High School and going into farming as a full-time profession,” he recalls. “It was on the table.” He enjoyed farming and knew he had skills to repair all the things that farmers need to fix.

Nelson had always loved “wrenching,” as he calls it.

“Fixing stuff and making it work is what I love,” he says.

In his teens, Jim began tearing down and rebuilding engines. For a high school class with teacher Ron Nevins, he rebuilt a lawnmower into a racer. It required cutting and reshaping the frame to accommodate a larger pulley, reworking the transmission and rebuilding an engine that his father was convinced would never run again. “In about a half hour, I had it running.

Dad was pretty amazed,” he said, smiling at the memory.

But, with more reflection, that future in farming seemed too uncertain.

He decided he needed more education. “It can be hard today to get a job, even with a degree,” he reflected. “And, it’s very hard to get a good job without a high school diploma. Even if you develop the skills on your own, employers still want to see a degree. When you have a degree, a lot more doors open up.

“I wanted to be sure I could always provide well for my family,” he added.

College degree Nelson finished high school with the GHS class of 2011, then completed a two-year degree in Applied Diesel Technology at North Dakota State University in Fargo. Through his work at a farm implement dealer, he also received specialized John Deere schooling to repair the giant combines used for harvesting grain on vast North Dakota farm fields that can cover 1,200 or more acres.

“Those combines have thousands of parts and very complicated electronics,” Nelson said. “Between the schooling and my work experience, I know combines inside and out,” he says confidently.

There was plenty of combine work, but Nelson wanted more than to just keep busy. After two years of repairing them, he was losing interest. “There are basically only two models of combines — walker and rotor,” he said. Fixing them became tedious. He wasn’t finding new challenges.

Life-changing events In late 2014, Jim’s father, Laurel, died in an industrial accident. In 2015, Jim was married to Mariah An-

derson of Grantsburg. His job dissatisfaction, coupled with these life-changing events, called the couple back to Grantsburg. Jim and Mariah wanted to be closer to her family, and to his mother and two younger siblings.

A job he loves Back in Grantsburg, Nelson found a job he loves in maintenance at Burnett Dairy Co-op in Alpha. He sees a long-term future there. Nelson loves the variety that his job offers, as it allows him to use all his skills.

“One of the many things that I appreciate about my job is that my supervisors recognize doing quality work is much more important than just being speedy.

Doing a quality job is way more important.”

When he is welding stainless steel in the cheese plant, for example, the surface must be smooth and exacting, without pitting that could catch and hold bacteria. “There is a state code book, actually, and all surfaces that touch a food product must meet the code for smoothness,” he states. “It has to be right and it will be inspected.”

The job requires tinkering and inventiveness.

“There are new challenges every day,” he says, and that pleases him. “It’s never boring. It is always something different, and it calls on all my skills and helps me keep learning too.”

Using all his skills As he ends his shift, he reviews his tasks for that day.

He worked on the Viking machine that wraps and bags the cheese. He also worked on several types of conveyors and vacuum chambers. The previous day he was

Good jobs here His advice to young men and women who want to work in mechanics and maintenance?

“There are lots of good, decent-paying jobs out there.

With the right education, you can find them right here in Burnett County,” he says.

He advises students to “Work hard in high school, then go get your degree. Ask lots of questions of adults and teachers. There are jobs like mine at Parker, DR Tech, McNally’s, the Dairy, Mid State Stainless, Nexen and other local places.

“Don’t ever think you can’t afford to go to college,” he adds. “Yes, it can cost a lot of money. But it can lead to better jobs that pay a lot more too, so it’s worth it.

“Stay focused on your goal. Oh, and have some fun, too, before you settle down in the real world and start paying bills.”

Nelson been married for less than a year to the former Mariah Anderson of Grantsburg. “Our families are here,” he says. “We have every reason in the world to stay. There’s the best fishing you could ever ask for, and hunting. You can’t beat it. It’s such a good place to raise a family.

“The Grantsburg school system is great, which is a big plus,” he adds. Nelson played high school football and baseball. As a linebacker, he was named Defensive Player of the Year his senior year. He was All-Conference in football and also as a pitcher for the Pirates baseball team that went to State. “Mariah and I want our kids to be Pirates,” he says.

“Don’t forget your roots,” he advises. “It’s nice to know the cop down the street, the people at your church, and the friends you run into at the grocery store or gas station.”

Nelson was away for a couple of years, but is happy to be home. “I left for long enough. I don’t think we will ever leave again,” he says.

Career Expo June 2 at Grantsburg High School

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

Grantsburg High School students and adults will have an opportunity on Thursday afternoon and evening, June 2 to learn about career opportunities in their home community and Burnett County during a free Career Expo in the GHS Commons and gymnasium.

Many area businesses will have a representative at the event, which will be reserved for students from 1-3 p.m. and then open to the general public from 4-7 p.m.

Colleges and technical schools will also be present to talk about courses of

study and training they offer, and how their education can be financed. Several military branches will have representatives to talk about career opportunities in the military.

GHS Transitions Coordinato Suzie Retzer said, “The Career Expo is not a job fair to hire students at this time. The purpose is to expose them to career opportunities which are available to them after they receive an education and are seeking employment.”

She added “The Career Expo is a response to local employers who have voiced difficulty in hiring training employees. Although we cannot decide a career path for students, we can in-

troduce them to career opportunities available to them right here in Grantsburg and the surrounding area.

“We also invite the public to attend in the evening, especially adults who are looking at a new career.”

The business and military reps will talk with students about career options, and the educational requirements for each position. They will also discuss salary and benefits. Each student will have a “passport” for business reps to sign as the students visit, which will make the students eligible to enter a drawing for door prizes.

“How American is that? We have a job to do, let’s roll up our shirt sleeves. Let’s get it done.”

He then compared the passengers’ vote with the upcoming election.

“The reason I like telling that story now, as we head into the election season, is we all know what we need to do,” Johnson said.

“November 7, 2016, we’ll be taking a vote. We’ll be encouraging our fellow citizens to take a vote.

Cheating thyself I just love high school sports.

I think it’s the honesty and integrity of whatever sport — kids working very hard to better themselves in their given specialty for the sake of getting better.

Of course, there are those official-type people, usually wearing black and white striped outfits, who help keep the sport honest —umpires calling balls and strikes in baseball or softball, referees determining first downs in football, line judges in volleyball, the list just goes on.

Heck, they even attach micro-chip timers to runners in cross county events.

About the most “official-free” sport in high school has got to be golf.

Each school brings its five Seems to best to a given match and they are teamed, skill-wise, with Me golfers from other schools — the 1s all play together, the No. Todd Beckmann No. 2s and so on.

Coaches are allowed on the course, but they are usually observing their own players — there isn’t a ref or an ump in sight.

When a group of kids finish a hole, they each pull out a scorecard and ask one another for scores on that hole — those cards are turned in at the end of the round and, once a certain player’s score is verified by double-checking the scorecards, the total for the round for that player is determined.

I was on a course the other night capturing images for future papers when I happened to follow a threesome on one of the holes — I wanted to get tee shots, approach shots, putts, the whole nine yards (no pun intended).

Not that I was keeping track, although as a former golfer, it’s almost second nature. I knew how many shots it took for this one young man to finish the hole.

When his comrades asked him his score on the way to the next tee box and he told them “four,” I couldn’t believe it.

He shanked his drive, hit an approach short of the green, chipped on and two-putted— I might not have a Masters in math, but that’s five strokes, not four.

“So where’s the harm?” you may ask.

It’s a competitive sport and your score determines where you as an individual finish, where the team finishes, it determines how medalist points are awarded. It even determines whether you’ll be on the varsity squad for the next match.

In other words, it’s a big deal.

I could give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just made an honest mistake, but golfers know how many shots it took to get in the cup.

Lest you think I spend all of my time atop my soap box in my ivory tower, let me admit up front I have blood on my hands.

Sure, there were times I would deploy the old “foot wedge” in order to extricate myself from a poor lie, namely too close to a tree.

How about the famous “Mulligan?” You know, where you get to hit a second tee shot because you shanked the first one?

And, of course, none of these “extra” shots found their way onto my scorecard.

Ah yes, to be young again — I only say that because I seemed to outgrow the need to fib on my golf score as I grew older.

I mean, seriously, how was cheating helping me?

The bigger question is, “If he’s willing to cheat at golf, what else would he cheat at?”

The sting of spring What a beautiful week we had!

After coming out of the cold, springtime came out and it was glorious.

On Friday the 13th, it seemed like we were headed back to fall as freezing temperatures returned to the area, but warmer weather returned, to everyone’s relief.

After spending Sunday the 14th working outside, my wife and I readied ourselves for a new work week.

I began my week From the with a bizarre Publisher’s encounter.

I keep my shoes Desk next to the back door, so I slip them Tom Stangl on as I leave, usually the last thing I do as I hurry out the door.

After slipping on my shoe, I felt a stabbing pain in my big toe. What in the world had happened? Did a nail somehow get in my shoe? I gingerly pulled my foot out of the shoe to discover an angry bee on the outside of my sock.

I can’t blame the guy for stinging me, but what a shock for both of us!

I took the bee outside and placed him on the step, hoping that I had

not killed a pollinator. I did not have a stinger in my toe, which ached for most of the morning, so I hope the bee survived.

As a society, we are slowly becoming more aware of the importance of bees and other pollinators in our ecosystem. As go the bees, so goes civilization. Nobel Prize winner from Belgium Maurice Maeterlinck said, in his 1901 book, “The Life of the Bee,” that “if the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”

Bees pollinate plants of all shapes and sizes, helping our food become food. Without pollination, a long list of fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains would no longer exist.

From cotton to grapes to walnuts to coffee and about any fruit grown on a tree, without bees we would be out of luck.

It seems that there are more bees around my house, so hopefully something is improving for the bees. It needs to, if we want to stay around.

We have been fortunate at our house that the cold weather has not affected our lilac bushes. The lilacs have been wonderful this year with large, fragrant blossoms.

I have always loved the scent of lilacs and I understand why they were used to develop perfumes

back in the day. Our brains are such wondrous devices that smelling the scent of a lilac, even in the dead of winter, can bring us back to the warmth of May. I sat in my back yard last week, enjoying a cool and still evening.

The scent of the lilac bushes was a pleasant addition to the experience. I inhaled deeply, savoring the smell, because I know that too soon the blossoms will be gone.

During this time of year, we rush around to complete the school year, celebrate milestones like graduations and weddings ,which are all great, but I often think we need to stop and revel in the wonderful show that is appearing before our eyes.

Some years, we put in a hard six months of winter, waiting for the day when we can once again be outside.

Those days have arrived. Time to make the most of the warmer weather. We have earned them.

And yes, I shake my shoes before putting them on now.

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

Earth Notes

Another new phone book?

Blame Mom To the Editor: Last Sunday was Mothers Day, when everyone says nice things to, and about mothers, for one day.

Then the rest of the year we can blame Mom for almost everything.

A perfect example of this was in last week’s paper. A two-year-old child opened the back door and slipped out.

The newspaper report of the incident read “Mother was napping.”

No mention that the unemployed father was in the house with the child. Just blame mom.

Doris Harer Grantsburg

All gave some – some gave all To the Editor: As Memorial Day approaches, let us take time to pay tribute to the men and women who paid with their lives, that we may live in a free country.

Remember — this is not a three-day holiday, but a time to reflect on who paid the ultimate price.

Memorial Day services will be held at cemeteries and other locations throughout the country, when we honor our veterans and our military serving our country.

Please remember: Where would we be without them? Where would our country be?

Take time to show respect to all who gave so much. Attend some of these solemn services.

God Bless our fallen military and all veterans, and God Bless the United States of America.

Our evening dining last Thursday was well attended with about 60. A special guest, Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, stopped to visit and dine with James Smith (the million pop-tab king).

Following the meal, several stayed and were joined by others to see pictures and share stories about the community of Falun, presented by the Grantsburg Area Historical Society.

Maybe you have some photos and stories about the area? Come and share.

We’re interested. Does anyone have info on the Crex Carpet Company?

The weather was tremendous this weekend for getting out and about.

And, speaking of Crex, there was an awesome program Saturday morning. The Crex Meadows Bird Fest had much to offer for children (and adults too!) plus projects to make.

WALKER: Governor addresses issues

‘It’s in the bag’

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

BY ROBIN BLOMBERG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WEBSTER—The popular Backpack Food Program is a community outreach program aimed at curbing hunger for children, Most benefactors are elementary school children in the Webster School District and many other area school districts, including Grantsburg.

Any child who is eligible for free- or lower-priced school meals is also eligible for the backpack program — they only need to sign up.

According to Angela Moulton, fundraising and media manager for the Salvation Army based in New Richmond, the Webster School District’s Backpack Program is a model for other communities in northwestern Wisconsin.

Every Thursday, volunteers meet at the Grace United Methodist Church to pack non-perishable food items in backpacks, which are then sent home with children on Friday afternoons.

These items are meant to provide supplemental food to children when not in school and on weekends.

Moulton points to Webster when speaking to other districts on how to make their programs more effective.

She and other speakers addressed a crowd at the Thursday, May 19 luncheon in honor of the many volunteers who help operate the program.

It started in 2009 in Webster at the behest of the Salvation Army, with the Salvation Army financing it.

In 2011, the Salvation Army had to cut some local funding, so the local Lion’s Club stepped in to help.

The Salvation Army still provides the food, but the other expenses are paid by local fundraising efforts.

Joyce Kyle and Gladys Beers are the main organizers of this effort.

They raise funds and obtain backpacks, as well as organize the volunteers who fill the backpacks.

Also involved are the Webster Fire Department, the American Legion and Wayne’s Supermarket, among others.

Also speaking to thank the volunteers and the organizers were Webster School Superintendent Jim Erickson and staff liaison Renee Ones.

Before the meal, Pastor Michael Tupaa gave a blessing .

Currently, 54 families (averaging about three persons per backpack) receive this benefit.

The next fundraiser will be a bake sale at the Oakland Store and will take place Friday and Saturday, May 27 - 28.

Cash donations are accepted at the school administration office. Non-perishable food items, as well as backpacks, are also greatly appreciated.

If donating backpacks, please donate plain, sturdy ones, as those with Minions, superheroes and other popular designs, tend not to find their way back to the school on Monday mornings.

If you can volunteer to help the program, please contact the local Lions club or Grace U.M. Church.

peals court has ruled.

The decision stems from a long-running lawsuit the New Richmond News, filed against the City of New Richmond in 2013. The newspaper alleged that police had censored too much information from accident and incident reports it

Meth While Gov. Walker agrees methamphetamine abuse is a serious problem, he did have a ready answer for why he line-item vetoed an additional $2 million for programs like drug courts — despite studies which have shown drug court is a cheaper, more effective option to incarceration.

“What we did is took resources which were earmarked for specific uses and put them in a state-wide-use pool of money— we didn’t want them to be targeted for one particular area,” Governor Walker reasoned. “But, they are available state-wide.”

Addressing the meth issue is an ongoing battle.

“We are trying to work with local law enforcement, non-profits, public health departments — it’s a combination,” the governor indicated. “It’s a lot like the heroin problem.”

It’s not as simple as giving more resources to law enforcement — it’s dealing with the victimization caused by people who abuse the drug as well as treatment for those who are addicted.

“You can have all the laws in the world, but if you are not addressing supply and demand, you are not addressing the complete picture,” Governor Walker continued.

Holmquist Highway

Renaming Highway 87 to the Holmquist Highway as a way to remember fallen Marine Carson Holmquist of Grantsburg was an important law the governor signed.

“All of our soldiers, whether deployed overseas or here at home, are in harm’s way,” Governor Walker remarked. “It’s a helpful reminder to future generations of the service he gave.”

so I’ll support Trump,” Governor Walker noted. “But, it’s not just being a man of my word, I think he’ll be better than Hillary.”

He said he believes taxes will go up in a Hillary White House, that Hillary won’t be an activist when it comes to making Supreme Court nominations, and the size of the federal government will grow under her watch.

“While certainly not my first pick, I think Trump is a much better pick than Hillary,” the governor reflected.

As for his own national aspirations, his bid for president was enough for now.

“We think (the decision) is going to mean the DPPA will no longer be a significant impediment to public access,” said the newspaper’s attorney, Bob Dreps.

“This opinion restores public access to virtually all law enforcement records.”

With the advent of the Department of Natural Resources new “Go Wild” card, the aim is to streamline the entire licensing process — even though there were some issues when the card first debuted.

“We look at all these issues very closely and we are constantly looking at ways to improve the way we provide services,” Governor Walker stated.

He said most of the kinks with the card seem to have been ironed out.

“When I was on the Minong Flowage for the 51st Governor’s opener a couple of weeks ago, I went online and got my license — it was easy,” the governor exclaimed.

FIRE: New fire hall to be ready by December CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

ters to be built and shipped here, we are looking at the outside of the building to be finished in October and the inside work to be complete by the second week in December.”

Cedar Corp, the architect of the new facility, had an artist’s rendering of the new 10,160 square-foot, five-bay hall on display at Thursday’s ceremony.

“Not only is a bigger station an improvement for us, it’s a benefit to the community,” Howe pointed out.

Governor Scott Walker, who was present for the ground-breaking agreed.

“Fire protection is one of the essentials a community has to have,” he noted.

“This just isn’t a building — it helps keep

insurance rates down and it helps make the area safer.”

The Town of Daniels and Siren Fire Association submitted an application for grant funds to build a new hall.

The new station is made possible by $616,000 in local funding, a $75,000 grant from the Otto Bremer Trust, and $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant public infrastructure funds awarded by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA).

The Community Development Block Grant is a program funded by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered by DOA, which funds local community development activities in Wisconsin.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Gov. Walker calls for changes in deer wasting disease plan MADISON (AP) — Republican Gov. Scott Walker announced a series of changes in Wisconsin’s chronic wasting disease plan, calling for more studies and guidelines for the deer farm industry but rejecting suggestions to resume thinning the state’s herds.

Pressure has been mounting on Walker to step up efforts to contain the dis-

ease after infection rates hit a new high last year. A pair of Democratic lawmakers has called for culling the herd in disease zones and a prominent sportsmen’s group has pressed the governor to impose tougher regulations on deer farms.

CWD causes deer to grow thin, act strangely and eventually die. It was first discovered in Wisconsin in 2002 near Mount Horeb, sending a shock through the state’s hunting industry.

TARGETS: Spring shooting league successful in Siren CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

woods and this activity gets the kids outside and could even help them with their hunting skills,” Morris pointed out. “After all, how many football players play football after high school?”

When Siren entered a team into the league last year, Morris wanted to make sure he did things right.

“We just offered it to high schoolers because we don’t offer busing, and most of the kids could drive themselves or catch a ride out to South Fork Sporting Club, where we do our shooting,” he commented. “That first year we had 11 participants.”

Morris was able to learn the ropes that first year.

“This year, we opened it up to junior high kids as well and we about doubled the size of the team,” he reflected.

According to Wisconsin State High School Clay Target League rules, each team gets two practice weeks, a reserve week and then a five-week regular season.

“We are allowed to use our reserve week shooting scores if inclement weather forces us to cancel a shoot during the regular season,” Morris stated.

He said each week runs from Sunday to Saturday, and the team shoots as a team and records their scores as a team on Sunday afternoons.

That’s the beauty of an eightweek spring season — the kids only have to commit for a twomonth sport.

“It doesn’t interfere with hunting or Packer games,”Morris said with a smile. “We would be allowed to sign up for a fall season as well, but it’s too crazy with other stuff going on.”

For those kids who are interested, there is a state tournament for trap league shooters.

“As long as you are a member of a high school trap team, you can sign up to go. I think this year’s tournament is in Rome, WI on June 11,” Morris said. “They place like-skilled shooters together in different flights, so you’re competing against comparable shooters.”

Being a hunter himself, Morris agrees there’s a whole lot of instruction going on.

“We start by teaching them gun safety. Gun safety is huge,” he exclaimed. “From there, we talk about technique — the correct way to hold a gun, how to stand, how to sight the gun and the list goes on.”

He admits it can be somewhat overwhelming.

“At some point, we have to break away from teaching and just let them shoot and learn,” Morris remarked.

Not being a school-funded activity has not dampened enthusiasm for the sport.

“Monty’s in Milltown is where we get all of our ammunition and he always gives us a good deal,” Morris reported. “It really helps out because we are not school funded.”

The same can be said of South Fork.

“The sporting club has been extremely supportive,” assistant coach Wayne Koball noted. “They let us shoot there and the members talk with the kids about guns and their shooting — it’s all a very positive experience.”

Almost too much.

“I think the club guys out there don’t think of it as Siren’s trap league team — I think they think it’s their team,” Koball quipped.

And, speaking of South Fork Sporting Club, except for the guns, you’d almost think you stumbled across a family reunion or something if you drove to the club on a Sunday during the season.

“It seems like there’s always a family member or two out there with us on Sundays —it’s a good bonding experience,” Morris explained. “And, because it is basically an ‘in-and-out’ process of an hour or so, it’s a great family activity.”

“The parent involvement is incredible,” Koball added.

2016 team members included Russell Cook, Ben Kopecky, Noah Koball, Tyler Anton, Gavyn Anton, Taedon Nichols, Austin Tinman, Mo Richter, Cordell Fisher, Brennan Koball, Jordan Webster, Sampson Richter, Michelle Dalsveen, Garret Hunter, Lucas Hunter, Max Lindquist, Mollie Kozak, Zach Dorriott, Jordan Miller, Hannah Huntley and Timothy Miller.

June is Meth Awareness Month

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Realizing the impact methamphetamine has not only on the individuals who abuse the drug but on county resources to fight the problem, the Burnett County Board of Supervisors at its meeting last week voted unanimously to make June Methamphetamine Awareness Month.

“There was a 46 percent increase in meth arrests in 2015 and a 68 percent increase in the amount of grams seized in drug raids during that same year,” Tammy Hopke of Burnett County Restorative Justice told board members.

TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

Tammy Hopke

Not the product of local labs the way it was 10 years ago, Hopke said most of today’s meth comes from super labs in Mexico. And, while there are counties in the state which seem relatively clear of the meth epidemic, Hopke displayed a graphic depicting the northwest corner

of the state as a haven of meth problems.

“It affects all ages, all genders and all races,” she informed. “It is very addictive and very hard to treat.”

In fact, that’s one of the biggest concern regarding meth right now.

“We realize we need a diversion program,” Byron Hopke, a social worker in the county’s health and human services department, said. “We are working with Restorative Justice, Aurora Counseling Service and the court to come up with something.”

Those in the know share Hopke’s opinion.

“A short jail sentence for meth offenders doesn’t work — there’s no room for growth and healing,” Becky Swenson, Restorative Justice, remarked. “We need some sort of treatment program.”

But, existing programs are insufficient.

“The 20-day programs aren’t enough,” Byron Hopke pointed out. “We feel like we are wasting our time and our money — we’d like them there for 90 days.”

Plus, another key to breaking the addiction cycle is for the addict to have a strong support network so the addict doesn’t fall into the old routines, which led to addiction in the first place.

He wasn’t discounting addiction to other drugs.

“You’d probably find a pocket of people in the county abusing prescription drugs, heroin or other opiates, but our focus right now is on meth,” Byron Hopke said.

One board member thought abusers should be put away.

“They need to be institutionalized,” member Dale Dresel opined.

But Hopke disagreed.

“We need to provide some sort of structured residential treatment program,” he reiterated.

There will be more discussion by the different stakeholders in the meth epidemic during next month’s “Meth Town

Hall,” set for Wednesday, June 8 at 6 p.m. at the Siren High School Auditorium.

SIREN—“Today is special to those of us in law enforcement,” Don Taylor, former sheriff and current county board chairman, said of Thursday’s annual Burnett County Law Enforcement Police Memorial. “We’re here today to honor those who serve, and those who served and paid the ultimate sacrifice.”

He was referring to Paul Gramer, Richard Schinzing, Allen Albee and Mike Seversen, the four law enforcement officers whose names are emblazoned on the memorial outside the sheriff’s department.

“There’s that sense of duty which drives a law enforcement officer. When most people run from a gunfight, cops run toward it,” Taylor remarked. “When duty calls, they answer — I’m honored to have known them.”

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was a special guest at Thursday’s memorial.

“Thanks to all law enforcement officers who serve.

But, we are here especially to remember those who gave their lives to the service,” he added.

He said each of the four have had a lasting impact — on friends, on family and countless others.

“We will never forget the sacrifice these four TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL made,” Governor Walker pointed out. “‘Thank you’ doesn’t say enough, but on behalf of a grateful state, Governor Scott Walker (left) visits with Joyce Gramer, widow of fallen officer Paul Gramer.

Volunteering at the heart of health ST. CROIX FALLS—Volunteering does more than make you feel good; it can help your mental health, Neal Route looks at the world through eyes different from most. The St. Croix Valley native is legally blind, but that is not what makes Neal so special. Throughout his life, giving back to the community has always been near and dear to his heart.

Neal is 91 years young, but you would never guess by talking to him. He remains active as a volunteer, happily knitting baby caps for St. Croix Regional Medical Center (SCRMC).

Neal grew up in Polk County in the little town of Ubet, when times were simpler.

As a 17-year-old, he volunteered for the Navy during World War II. He recounts many of the details and the dates of his service, from attending boot camp in Idaho to his time on a mine sweeper in 1943 in the South Pacific. When he left active duty, he attended the Navy’s pre-midshipman school at Princeton and then the University of Michigan.

While at the University of Michigan, he was set upon a blind date with a nurse-intraining named Patricia. The first time he saw Patricia, Neal thought to himself, “Gee, that’s the girl for me.”

And, after a courtship of letters and a few trips between Michigan and Ubet, Neal and Patricia eloped. Patricia was in the nursing program; however, at that time nurses were not allowed to get married, so they had to keep their marriage a secret.

Well, that secret only lasted a few days, and Patricia was back in Ubet with Neal the following weekend.

When they settled in St. Croix Falls, they owned and operated the St. Croix

Falls Bakery, which was located in the now-vacant space next to Tangen Drug.

Before having their first child, Patricia worked in the original hospital lab with Dr. Jake Riegel.

While Neal enjoyed the bakery business, there was still something missing, and with a young family, the hours were difficult.

He applied for local police positions but ended up in Milwaukee as a police officer.

Neal spent 25 years on the force, giving back to the community and serving as a mentor to many young recruits. In the 1970s, Neal moved his wife and youngest daughter, Mickey, back to the St. Croix Falls area to experience the slower pace of the small town.

Once back in St. Croix Falls, Neal worked at various jobs including the St. Croix Falls Clinic for several years in the 1980s. Patricia volunteered many hours of her time at the hospital helping with administrative work and charts.

Eventually, Neal and Patricia moved to Osceola, but they continued to give back to the hospital by knitting newborn baby caps for St. Croix Regional Medical Center. Each using a simple knitting loom, Pat would make the preemie caps while Neal loved to sport team colors. When Pat passed away in 2012, Neal set up a scholarship in Pat’s name to encourage young adults to pursue a nursing profession.

Despite losing most of his vision, Neal continues to knit baby caps in a variety of colors, but his favorite are the green and gold ones. (To be fair, he does do a few purple and gold, too.)

To date, Neal has contributed more 500 baby caps to The BirthPlace at SCRMC. Volunteering makes him feel good, so he plans to continue as long as he can.

12 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Knight is a 10-month-old Labrador Retriever mix who was surrendered recently, along with nine other dogs. Of the 10, seven were eight-week-old Boxer mix puppies. The puppies will go fast, so I decided to focus on the three older dogs from the group.

Knight Knight is medium size and around 40 pounds. I don’t anticipate him to be a big dog. He was extremely happy to have me join him in his kennel and greeted me with some light kisses right away. Knight quickly calmed down and just wanted to either climb into my lap, or just place his rear Boston end on my lap while half standing on the ground. (I think he believes he’s smaller than he is.)

I didn’t mind Knight wanting to snuggle with me, but he IS a bit heavy. For a puppy, this fellow is very well-behaved and great at cuddling – once he knows you are going to stay put for a while.

Shayna Knight’s friend, Boston, is an 11-month-old Boxer mix who weighs in around 55 pounds. These two pals do well together and wouldn’t object to getting adopted together.

Boston is a little more rambunctious, but adorable. He has the Boxer face, with a short stout body. (Someone at the shelter thought the Boxers might have some Beagle in the mix.) I was able to spend some time with Boston in his kennel, but had to dodge his many advances (kisses). He is still in that puppy stage, but I’m sure he’d make a wonderful companion when he finds his furever home.

Shayna is the mommy of the seven puppies and Boston. She’s a 43-pound Boxer mix and just a sweetheart. She’s had at least two litters in her short two years of life, but she won’t have to worry about that anymore.

Shayna is a little lover who really likes to get her belly rubbed. She is a very gentle girl and probably my favorite of the three, as I always seem to go for the more mellow ones.

Shayna has spent a good deal of her life being a mommy. Now it’s her turn to enjoy a new family and just be herself!

If you are interested in adopting Knight, Boston, Shayna or any of the animals from our shelter, please visit our website at www. hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096.

Paddling the St. Croix River, part III Phipps Land to Big Bend HAYWARD—Phipps Landing on the Namekagon River sits a short distance off Highway 63 north of Hayward. I had taken out at Phipps after tacking on an extra few miles two weeks earlier.

With plenty of sunshine and clear skies, I returned there early on the morning of May 7 to begin my second full weekend of paddling the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.

The Namekagon River opens into the Phipps Flowage shortly past the landing. One could spend a good deal of time exploring the flowage’s peaceful backwaters and do a little fishing, I imagine.

But, with Hayward Lake also on the docket for the day, I was eager to get across the open waters. Like the Pacwawong Dam before it, Phipps Dam is navigable with high water. I took another short thrill ride over it.

Below the flowage is the Hayward KOA campground.

I camped there with my family a handful of times as a child. It is known to host a number of innertubers during the hot summer months.

With water temperatures hovering around 55 degrees, though, I paddled along in solitude except for the many pairs of ducks I continued seeing.

With the river still plenty high and a good amount of water moving beneath me, I actually didn’t do much paddling. Instead, I leaned lazily and let the river and the skeg and keel of the Sans Souci II, my kayak, do most of the steering work.

Once past Eagle’s Landing, the river begins to widen and becomes more populated with cabins. Well-manicured backyards and expensive houses definitely don’t have the same charm as woods and water.

My lazy leaning early on allowed me to save energy for a fight I had been anticipating on Hayward Lake.

A long, wide-open, east-west facing lake, the National Park Service’s paddling guide foretells of difficult work crossing it against a headwind.

Thankfully, I was not so challenged.

I skirted the northern shore for a good while, then crossed at what seemed to be the narrowest point.

I briefly mistook the narrow bay, where Scheer’s Lumberjack Shows are performed, for the main channel,

KYLE WEAVER

The Hayward Lake Dam

but I didn’t go too far out of my way before correcting course.

At Hayward Dam, I took a healthy, if undeserved, break.

My first portage of significance, I unloaded the Sans Souci II and packed it and the rest of my gear over the dam in two trips.

The hydroelectric power-generating dam is in the middle of Hayward.

A person wouldn’t have to walk far to find fast food, but I ate the lunch of beef jerky and granola bars I had packed.

I doffed some clothing, applied some SPF 50, snapped a few photos of the dam and even took a short nap on the banks before continuing.

If you’re following along via map, crossing the Hayward Dam means I’m now fully on to Namekagon River Map 2, the second of 10 published by the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway staff.

On these maps, the Namekagon starts at N99.5 and the miles count down to zero at its confluence with the St. Croix.

Below the dam were some small rapids, here and there. I’m no adrenaline junkie, but I’ve learned that wrinkly water is much more fun to paddle than open lakes and flowages.

There is a gorgeous campsite at mile marker N59.7 at which I was tempted to stop.

Perhaps the prettiest such site I’ve seen so far, it is up on a hill and has a good view of the river in all directions. But, it was only 3 p.m. and I had plenty of energy left, plus an ulterior motive.

I officially crossed into familiar territory at the Stinnett Landing, the

launch point of a few trips when I was a kid. I paddled a fun chute there with no problems, and even practiced a few eddy turns and ferries below it.

Crossing under the two rail bridges below Stinnett, I made camp at mile marker N55.2.

The most difficult part of the entire trip so far has been making and breaking camp. Solo camping is a lot more time consuming than going with a group, where the duties can be divided and shared. Choosing a campsite just two-tenths of a mile from a landing enabled me to have company.

My father, Charlie, an abundantly healthy, retired railroad conductor who is always up for an adventure, parked at Groat Landing (N55.0) and packed a chair and a couple of barley pops the short distance through the brush to join me just after dinner. We sat around my campfire, talked and watched the sunset across the river from us.

The following day, I paddled an uneventful 10 miles to Big Bend Landing, enjoying the wrinkled waters below Groat Landing and around Springbrook.

I found the confluence of Bean Brook and snapped a GPS screenshot in honor of the Bean Brook Hunting Club. Shortly taking out around lunchtime, four full days of paddling are now behind me with several more to go.

Until next time, I’ll see you on the water.

Lady Pirates win region track title

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—By nine points, the Lady Pirates of Grantsburg won Monday’s WIAA Division 3 Track and Field Regional meet at Unity High School.

“We knew we would be close when it came to winning the regional as we have some reliable point scorers,” Coach Kim Hallberg noted. “Everyone on the team helped contribute to the win. These girls are so easy to work with and are willing to do anything to compete as a team.”

The top four finishers move on to sectionals.

This season of breaking school records continued for the Pirates Monday night as freshman Gracie Gerber posted a time of 2:27.68 in the 800 meter run, finishing second. In doing so, Gerber

Hallie Jensen

broke the school record previously held

by Natalie (Peterson) Doornink.

“She tied the school record at the con-

ference meet last week but was finally able to break it,” Hallberg exclaimed.

Delia Labatt and Linda Harmon finished 1-2 in the 200 meter dash with times of 26.07 and 28.17, respectively.

Labatt was a double first-place finisher when she crossed the line in 12.59 in the 100 meter dash. Harmon was fourth in that race, posting a time of 13.59.

Harmon finished second in the triple jump, clearing 33-5 Teammate Danielle Bertelsen ran a 1:07.29 to finish third in the 400 meter dash.

The Pirates also placed three in the top four of the 3200 meter run. Hallie Jensen won the event in a time of 12:24.99.

Gerber was third in 12:54.88 and Ericka Erickson crossed the line in 13:12.95 to finish fourth.

Jensen and Brittanie Blume were 1-2

in the 1600 meter run in times of 5:46. 62 and 5:4876, respectively.

Violet Ohnstad combined with Jensen, Gerber and Blume to finish second in the 4x800 meter relay in a time of 10:25.80.

“Many of the girls participated in four events and never complained,” Hallberg praised. “They are a determined group of girls.”

The Lady Tigers finished fifth in Monday’s meet and will be sending several athletes to sectionals in Colfax on Thursday.

Leading the way, as they have done all season, are Kaitlyn Moser and Sadie Koelz. Moser won the shot put with a throw of 38-2. Teammate Tiringo MoshSEE PIRATES, PAGE 19

Pirates advance to Marathon

Eyeing the prize in Colfax Tracksters advance from Monday’s regional meet

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—A top-four finish was the goal of the day as the WIAA Division 3 Track and Field Regional at Unity High School unfolded Monday night.

Rain and thunderstorms delayed the start for more than an hour, but the meet was still wrapped up before dark.

“We were a little nervous about the rain hindering our performance, but we did very well,” Grantsburg Pirate coach Brad Nelson observed.

The Pirate boys finished a distant second to Unity, but still will be advancing several athletes to Thursday sectional competition in Colfax.

Highlights for the Pirates include second place finishes by Kyle Fagnan in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes, with only two one-hundredths of a second keeping him from first in the 100 meter dash.

Teammate John Chenal was first in the shot put with a toss of 46-11 — three feet farther than his closest competition. Chenal was also third in the high jump, clearing 6-0.

The team’s relay teams did well, with the 4x100, 4x400 and 4x800 teams all advancing.

The 4x100 team of Andy Hartshorn, Kevin Vollendorf, Camilo Volkmann and Fagnan combined for a 47.09 time, good for second.

The 4x400 team of Jared Peltier, Gauge Premo-Blume, Nate McKinley and Vollendorf crossed the line in 3:46.50, also a second place finish. And the 4x800 team of Peltier, Hartshorn, Volkmann and McKinley posted a time of 8:54.71, good for third.

“We had several athletes come very close to a top-four finish,”

TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

Webster’s Andrew Ruiz (fourth from right) leads the other 1600 meter racers from the starting gun.

Nelson lamented. “In fact, we had several fifth place finishes that just missed out on advancing, including Austin Olson, Jared Peltier, Keith Vollendorf, Walker Louis and Josh Curtin.”

The distance runners helped the Webster Tigers to a third-place finish Monday night.

Junior Andrew Ruiz won both the 1600 meter run and the 3200 meter run in times of 4:45.08 and10:29.69, respectively. Teammate Joey Formanek was fourth in the 800 meter run.

“Joey improved his 800 time to 2:08.68 and earned a trip to compete at Sectionals,” coach Roy Ward praised.

The two combined with Mason Schaaf and Hunter Erickson to finish second in the 4X800 meter relay in a time of 8:48.92.

The Tigers 4x200 meter relay team of Kerik Stubbe, Schaaf, Formnek and Matrious posted a 1:41.96, good for third.

The team’s other strength is in the circle of the throwing events.

Senior Grant Preston won the dis-

cus with a toss of 140-3 and was second in the shot put with an effort of 43-0. Teammate Jameson Matrious was third in the 200 meter dash in a time of 24.84.

The Siren Dragons finished seventh Monday night, but still qualified for six events in Colfax. The field events were the bread and butter for the Dragons.

Senior Josiah Wegner covered 37-10.25 to finish third in the triple jump and cleared 18-8.25 to finish fourth in the long jump.

“This is the end of an era for Siren Track and Field,” coach Wayne Koball stated. “Josiah is the final Wegner to compete for Siren — the youngest of four. Josiah’s ability to jump was truly inspired by his brothers Wesley and Isaac.”

Dragon teammates Noah Koball and Tanner Lee finished 3-4 in the discus, with throws of 128-11 and 120-10 respectively. Koball tossed the shot put 39-1 to finish fourth.

However, Lee, who posted a throw of 39-0.75, finished in the dreaded

FREDERIC—”Pleasantly surprised.”

It’s how Pirate coach John Addison felt following Tuesday’s regional match in which the entire Grantsburg Pirates golf team advanced to sectional competition in Marathon next week.

“Jordan (Knutson) wasn’t on top of his game but was striking the ball well,” the coach praised.

“He shot a par 72 and finished third.”

Jared Lee carded an 82 placing him 6th in the region and the coach said it was a huge step for him.

“It’s what I’ve been looking for from him all season,” Addison remarked.

The team’s No. 3 golfer, Joey Duncan, scored an 89, good enough to tie for 12th.

“It was a good round,” the coach observed. Not great but good — he had a couple of bad swings that cost him.”

Colt Lien and Paul MacKean rounded out the scoring for the Pirates, carding a 110 and 133, respectively.

Webster/Siren last in its D2 region

ASHLAND—“Tuesday was an adventurous day on the golf course,” Webster/Siren coach Mat Wood reported. “We were part of the first group on the course, and at some points it seemed that we were taking part in some great flood. It was just a torrential downpour but the kids battled through it.”

Even though the fired a 407 to finish last in its Ashland Regional all was not lost.

“Tate played exceptionally well shooting a 82 which was tied for 6th,” Wood continued. “That score will earn him a trip to sectionals next Tuesday in Chippewa Falls.”

As for the rest of the team, their season ended in Ashland.

“Connor (Raschke) ended his high school career on a good note shooting a 106,” the coach praised. “Brett (Johnson) played really well on the front nine shooting a 47, but couldn’t put a back nine together to make it to sectionals shooting a 100.”

Rounding out scoring for the team were seniors Alec Ralph and Alexi Gloodt, carding a 119 and a 122 respectively.

Tigers drop one to Eagles

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers hoped to put a dent into the Unity Eagles successful season on Monday, May 16, but couldn’t handle the Eagle pitching and went home with a 10-3 loss.

Early mistakes caused the Tigers to fall behind 6-0 after just three innings. Three errors and three stolen bases in those innings, plus timely hitting by the Eagles, led Unity to the six-run lead.

Unity tacked on three more in the fifth and one more in the sixth before Webster got on the board in their half of the sixth.

Jack Washburn led off the inning with a single and stole both second and third. Paul Sargent walked and stole second. Brad Sigfrids singled to score both the previous runners.

After a ground out, moving Sigfrids up, Trevor Gustafson singled. Then Jordy Larson walked as did Caleb Pardun, forcing Sigfrids home.

A fly out and a ground out ended the threat, leaving the bases loaded.

Washburn had the hot hand as he had a single and a double, scoring once. Sigfrids had two RBIs on the night.

Trevor Gustafson took the loss, with Jordy Larson and Caleb Pardun finishing up in relief.

TURTLE LAKE—The Webster Tigers came out on the short end of two games last week, losing 12-4 at Turtle Lake and 10-0 at Luck/Frederic.

TL/C had jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings before the Tigers came back to tie it in their half of the fourth. Jack Washburn singled.

Two batters later, Brad Sigfrids got on via an error. Trent Wols grounded out, scoring Washburn.

Then singles by Trevor Gustafson, Jordan Larson and Caleb Pardun enabled more runs to score. Austin

Webster had just two hits and struck out five times. Six fly outs and five ground outs were made by the Luck/Frederic defense.

The Tigers did not help their cause any by committing eight errors.

LUCK—“Doomed by the home run ball. Half of their runs came from a pair of homers,” lamented coach Pete Johnson after his Pirates lost to Luck-Frederic 10-8 on Monday night.

“I messed up with a couple of my decisions. You’d think 24 years would be long enough for me to clean up some of my mistakes.”

The Pirates did have a 7-2 lead going into the bottom of the fifth.

Jackson Gerber walked in the first inning. Zach Tebow singled as did Jacob Barnard to get the first run across.

David Nelson doubled in the second inning and Sven Johnson singled him home. An error moved him up and Jackson Gerber walked. Tebow got on via a hit batsman and then an error got two runs across.

In inning five, Bubba Bowman got on via an error. Barnard singled. Luke Anderson got on via an error and then David Nelson

singled. Three batters later, Dakota Schultz singled to get two more runs in.

Rennecke singled and Hamack doubled for Luck/Frederic in the fifth. Then Poirier walked. Schmidt singled and two batters later Peyton Ellefson homered.

That knotted the score at seven.

Grantsburg scored one in the sixth, but Luck/Frederic came back with three in their half of the sixth.

L/F held the Pirates scoreless in the top of the seventh for the win.

Pirates take two; win conference championship

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG— A narrow 2-1 victory over the Cameron Comets in eight innings on Tuesday night “had a miserable start for Grantsburg,” said assistant coach Steve Johnson.

“The first batter walked and went to second on a missed play.

Then we messed up a hot box situation.”

A walk, a stolen base and an error got the Cameron lead-off batter to third. After two strikeouts, the Comet cleanup hitter clobbered a double, scoring a run.

It wasn’t until the third inning that the Pirates were able to answer back with a run of their own.

Rhiana Pochman singled. Two batters later, Britta Roufs doubled her home.

From that time on, it was a battle of who would make the key hit or hits and also provide the defense, prohibiting the opponent to score.

The bottom of the eighth inning was that point. Megan Miller led off with a single. On two wild pitches, she moved to third base.

Briena Jensen grounded out as Miller scored to win the game.

“I think Cameron played a good game. I give their pitcher much credit for controlling our batters,” said Coach Johnson.

Grantsburg got just six hits, walked just once and struck out six times. Roufs had the only extra base hit, a double. Miller was two for four from the plate.

Grantsburg pitching walked just two and struck out 16.

Britta Roufs steals second base during the Pirates’ win over Clayton/Turtle Lake on Thursday night.

Championship in their pocket The Grantsburg Pirate fast pitch team earned its twelfth West Lakeland Championship in a row by defeating the Turtle Lake/Clayton Lakers 4-0 on Thursday night.

“In a hard-fought, competitive game, the Pirates beat previously-undefeated TLC to claim the conference championship,” said assistant coach Johnson.

“Our congratulations also go out to TLC. If they beat Cameron tonight (Friday), they will share the title with Grantsburg.” [TLC lost, giving the Pirates the title.]

Grantsburg got on the board in the first inning as Britta Roufs walked and stole second. Two batters later, Megan Miller singled her home.

In inning three, Olivia Tucker was hit by a Laker pitch. She also

stole second base and later scored on a Briana Jensen single.

Through the first three innings, Olivia Tucker faced only one more than the minimum batters through that time period, a single which started the Laker third.

The fourth inning had one more than the minimum batters come to the plate for TL/C, but from that time on, it was one-two-three for TL/C. The Pirates got an insurance run in the fifth on a Jordyn McKenzie home run and then one more in the seventh as Mackenna Johnson opened the inning with a triple and came home on a single by Britta Roufs.

Grantsburg has a bye Tuesday night and will play the winner of the Frederic/Luck vs. Cumberland game on Wednesday, June 1 at Grantsburg.

Tigers tip Dragons, Lakers

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—Last Monday, the Webster Tigers defeated the Siren Dragons 13-3 in a five-inning event.

Webster scored twice in the first inning when Taran Wols singled and got to third base on a passed ball. Jack Washburn walked and stole second. Paul Sargent singled home both runners for a quick 2-0 lead.

In inning two, after a scoreless top half of the inning, Webster struck again as Caleb Pardun singled, Austin Spafford walked, Taran Wols got on base, Jack Washburn walked and Paul Sargent doubled in two runs, three for the entire inning.

The Tigers put four more on the board in the third inning, making the score 9-0.

Siren got their three runs in inning four. Max Lindquist singled, Lukas Hunter received a base on balls and Logan Allen doubled in one run. A ground out scored another run and then Brady Mangen got on base via an error. He moved

up and scored on two wild pitches.

Webster put the finishing touches on the game with three in their half of the fifth.

Jordy Larson got the win, going all five innings, getting five walks and three strikeouts.

Ben Lemieux took the loss for the Dragons.

Caleb Pardun and Taran Wols had the hot bats for Webster, each going two for three. Paul Sargent went two for two with four RBIs. Washburn and Trenton Wols each had two RBIs.

Gustafson goes five as Tigers beat Lakers At Shell Lake on Tuesday, the Tigers won over the Lakers 6-2.

The game was scoreless until the top of the third when, with one out, Caleb Pardun singled and got to third on a wild pitch. Taran Wols later singled him home for a 1-0 edge.

Inning four saw Webster score again as Paul Sargent singled to begin the inning. After a strike out and a fly out, both Trenton Wols and Jordy Larson got on via errors, scoring Sargent.

Austin Spafford walked to open the fifth inning and then stole second. A ground out moved him to third and another ground out got him home for a 3-0 advantage.

The Tigers got insurance runs in the sixth inning. Trenton Wols singled and got to third on two wild pitches. Jordy Larson attempted a sacrifice play, but an error enabled him to get to first.

Later, Taran Wols got on via an error. Jack Washburn doubled him home.

In the bottom of the sixth, a myriad of mistakes helped the Lakers get their two runs home. The miscues consisted of two walks, two stolen bases, a wild pitch, a single and a passed ball.

But, the Tigers held on tightly to their lead in the seventh, making the Lakers go one-to-three.

Eight of the nine Tiger starters each had a hit, with Washburn getting a double.

Trevor Gustafson went six innings, walking two and striking out seven. He allowed two runs on two hits.

Drew Johnson took the loss for Shell Lake.

er was fourth with a put of 31-5.25. Koelz cleared 9-0 to win the pole vault competition and was fourth in the high jump, clearing 4-8.

“Sadie’s form is improving and she almost had 9-6 on two attempts,” Tiger coach Roy Ward observed.

Savannah Varner posted a time of 20.87, good for third in the 100 meter hurdles. Teammate Sam Nelson ran a 5:51.89, good for third in the 1600 meter run.

In the relay races, Skyler Winkler, Julia Gavin, Koelz and Nelson teamed to place fourth in the 4X100 meter relay in a time of 55.17.

“We had 17 qualifiers advance to the sectional meet and a few individual regional champions, including Kaitlyn in the Shot and Sadie in the vault,” fellow coach Max Anderson reported. “We had a weather delay so it was good to get the meet in and not have to go back the next day — I’m very proud of our kids, they had a lot of personal bests despite everything going on.”

The Siren Dragons, who finished Monday night in seventh place, qualified for four events in the sectional meet.

The events include high jump, long jump, and triple jump.

Ashlee Rightman scored seconds in the long jump and the high jump, clearing 15-7.50 and 5-2, respectively. She finished third in the triple jump, clearing 334.50.

“Ashlee continues to re-write the record books in Siren Girls Track, qualifying in all her events,” coach Wayne Koball praised. “She hit 5-2 in the high jump which is a personal record (PR) and her position as a respected horizontal jumps athlete continues as well as she works along in the long and triple jumps.”

Another qualifying event for the Dragons happened when its 4x200 meter relay team of Julia Cederberg, Abby Kosloski, Jade Horstman and Rightman crossed the line in 1:58.67, good for third place.

As is often the case in athletics, the real stories don’t show up in the results. Aubri Larson ran the anchor of the Lady Dragons 4x400 relay team — which finished seventh.

“Her anchor run ends an era of the Larson children (Nathan, Matt, and Aubri) in track and field — their father, Rick, is the highly respected shot and disc coach, a role he has held for 26 years,” Koball noted. “It has been an honor to coach all three of these kids.”

QUALIFY: Advancing to Sectionals in Colfax CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

No. 5 spot and failed to qualify for Colfax.

Another sectional qualifier for Siren in field events is Neil Oustigoff.

“Neil didn’t score a 1,000 points in track, but his mark will be left in the history books much the same,” Koball pointed out.

Oustigoff cleared 5-10 to finish fourth in the high jump.

“His jump of 5’10” is shy of his best, but he responded well to the competition and in less-than-ideal conditions Monday night,” the coach continued.

The team’s 4x200 meter relay team of Steven Pruitt, Dolan Highstrom, Derek Highstrom and Oustigoff finished fourth in a time of 1:45.01.

Falun Church League releases 2016 schedule

Vying for All-Conference golf honors match doesn’t mean a lot when it comes to the season as a whole — or moving on in the playoffs. “It’s just kind of a way to finish up the season,� he noted. “This was just a warm-up for regionals.�

As a team, the Pirates finished third behind Bruce and Frederic/Luck.

RICE LAKE—Despite three golfers on the Grantsburg Pirates golf team making All-Conference honors at the Lakeland Conference match at Turtleback in Rice Lake on Thursday, coach John Addison was disappointed with some of the performances. “Joey Duncan shot an even 100 and I’m really disappointed with that,� the coach remarked. “Jared Lee shot a 90 and I was disappointed with too.�

He said at this point in the season, the mental mistakes shouldn’t be so numerous. “They are still just hitting the golf ball — not playing golf,� Addison said.

Fellow golfers Colt Lien and Paul MacKean both carded a 113.

Senior Jordan Knutson was medalist of the event, carding a 74 on the 5,898yard, par 71 layout.

Other than Duncan, Knutson and Lee, who were awarded All-Conference and Knutson’s play on the day, Addison said there weren’t a lot of highlights in the round. “They still aren’t patient enough, they still take too many chances and

they still make the same mistakes over and over again,� he observed. “They are still trying to play like professional golfers even though they aren’t — and they make mistakes because of it.�

The coach is glad the conference

The Webster/Siren co-op team carded a 400 and finished the day in fifth.

Tate Fohrenkamm led the way by shooting a seven over 78. “Tate golfed extremely well again,� coach Mat Wood pointed out. “Unfortunately, the course beat up the other golfers a bit so I was a bit disappointed.�

Teammates Alec Ralph and Alexi Gloodt each carded 106s, Brett Johnson scored a 108 and Connor Raschke shot a 113.

The team finished third in the conference, behind Frederic/Luck and Grantsburg. “I am very pleased with how our season turned out,� coach Mat Wood remarked. “For the first year of Webster/ Siren golf, I was very surprised with how well we did — the kids kept a great attitude throughout the season.�

Paying for Long-term Care

BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

There seems to be a new headline every day warning about our country’s increasing aging population, the impact aging baby boomers will have on already stretched resources, and that life expectancies continue to rise. These projections point out that this growing aging population will also need more health and home care, and for longer amounts of time than ever before.

For people with enough resources to pay for care, the main question is a matter of “where?” Where will I be able to receive the care I need? Where will I be able to maintain my independence and dignity? Where can I live so that my family can still visit?

But, for people with moderate, low or no income, the main question is a matter of “how?” How will I pay for the care I need?

Medicare doesn’t pay for long-term care Contrary to popular belief, Medicare is not the payer of these long-term care services. Medicare Part A, otherwise known as hospital insurance, only covers up to 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, and even then only after a person has met the qualifying 3-day stay requirement in a hospital first.

Many people do not realize that Medicare does not pay for the type of long-term care they envision – care that usually extends well past 100 days. In fact, the average length of a nursing home stay is about 835 days – more than two years. This length of stay is often much higher for people with illnesses such as Alzheimer’s – a diagnosis that is also on the rise.

Medicaid rules for long-term care Some people have long-term care insurance, but it is becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain. Many insurance companies have realized that long-term care insurance is not a profit-generating product and no longer sell it. Even those people with long-term care insurance are finding out their coverage is far less than what they need, or their premiums increase to levels they can no longer afford.

When a person’s income and assets have been exhausted, Medicaid becomes the go-to option to pay for long-term care. That said, Medicaid (as with any public benefit program) is not an easy system to maneuver. Not only do people need to meet low income and asset limits, but their giving (known as divestments) will be scrutinized up to five years prior to application in Wisconsin, and their estates will be subject to estate recovery after the person’s death.

That means Medicaid will impose penalty periods if it seems like a person tried to transfer or hide money before the person applied, and Medicaid will expect to

Looking for a Specialist?

be repaid after the person has passed away.

Medicaid also requires annual renewals and reporting whenever a person’s situation changes. Not only that, but there are questions regarding Medicaid’s ability to financially support the increase in demand that is expected to emerge in the next few decades.

New options in long-term care There is no question that lower-income aging adults will need more options to pay for long-term care, but the solutions have been slow to come. Recently, however, there has been talk about shifting payment responsibilities in the future in two major areas: Long-term care insurance and Medicare.

In February, the Long-Term Care Financing Collaborative issued a press release proposing major changes in the way long-term care is financed and delivered.

The proposal includes the following calls to action: • Establishing clear private and public roles for longterm care financing.

• Creating a catastrophic long-term care insurance program that would shift away from a welfare-based model to an insurance model.

• Encouraging private long-term care insurance initiatives to lower cost and increase enrollment.

• Increasing retirement savings and improving public education on long-term care costs and needs.

The main focus of this model is to encourage the private insurance market to come back to the long-term insurance table in order to help people plan ahead for their long-term care, rather than rely on Medicaid.

Medicare Another proposal comes from Health Affairs Blog, which sets forth an income-based payment structure through Medicare to help the 75 percent of Medicare beneficiaries who do not qualify for Medicaid receive long-term services and supports in their homes. In this model, beneficiaries would be responsible for coinsurance of a portion of the cost of services based on income.

These services would be available to Medicare beneficiaries with serious physical and/or cognitive limitations, but focused on those who are living at home or in independent living settings. Not only would this model help beneficiaries afford the care they need, but would also promote independent living.

It will be interesting to see what additional ideas begin to surface and which ones, if any, actually take hold. Regardless, the need for change is present and growing.

Disability reviews continue

BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

If you receive Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits, the Social Security Administration will review your case from time to time to make sure you still qualify for disability benefits. These reviews are called Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs).

How often do reviews occur?

According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), CDRs occur approximately every three years for adults. However, if you have a condition that is expected to medically improve, your review could be sooner than three years. On the other hand, if your condition is not expected to medically improve, your case will likely be reviewed less frequently. Those with permanent disabilities are also still subject to CDRs. What happens when your case is up for review?

The SSA will send you a letter explaining that you will need to go to your area SSA office. At the office, you will meet with an examiner who will ask you questions about your medical condition. You should take any information about your medical treatment and condition, but a disability examiner will also request medical reports from your medical providers.

The examiner will be comparing the new information to information from your previous review and consider any new health issues or improvements.

Will my benefits stop?

If your medical condition has not improved and is preventing you from working, you will continue to receive your benefits. Your benefits will stop if the reviewers believe evidence shows your condition has improved and you are able to work regularly.

Your benefits may also terminate if the SSA determines that you are not following recommended treatment and could improve if you followed that treatment; if you fail to cooperate; or, if you gave false information when the SSA made a previous decision.

For more information, please visit the SSA website: https://www.ssa.gov/ Or, view this publication, “How We Decide if You Still Have a Qualifying Disability” at https://www. ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10053.pdf.

Wisconsin averages 23 tornadoes per year. Even though Wisconsin sees fewer tornadoes than other states, it is important to take appropriate precautions in the event of severe weather.

Wisconsin’s tornado season usually runs from May through July, so take a few minutes to discuss your emergency preparedness plan with family, friends or caregivers.

Your Emergency Preparedness Plan First, be alert for visible and/or audible signs of a tornado, including: • Greenish or unusually colored clouds.

• Low, rotating wall clouds.

• Funnel clouds.

• Hail.

• Train-like roaring sounds.

• Swirling clouds of debris.

Second, plan ahead! Know how you plan to stay safe before severe weather strikes.

• If you are in a home or building, go to the lowest level of the building – a basement, if possible. Be sure to avoid windows. When possible, get under a sturdy table, desk or counter.

• If you are driving and cannot get to shelter, stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt on. Keep your head below window level.

• If you are in a mobile home, leave the mobile home and go to the designated storm shelter.

• If you are outside and cannot get to shelter, avoid areas with many trees. Lie flat and protect your head

and neck with your arms.

• If you are in a wheelchair and are unable to move to a lower floor, move to an interior room and avoid windows.

• If you are unable to move from a bed or a chair, cover yourself with a blanket to better protect yourself from falling objects.

Third, assemble an emergency kit. Emergency kits can be stored in your planned shelter area and should include water, non-perishable food, a battery-operated radio, flashlights, a first aid kit and a list of your medications.

Tornado warning or tornado watch?

What is the difference between a tornado warning and a tornado watch?

• Tornado Warning: a funnel cloud is spotted or indicated on radar. Take shelter!

• Tornado Watch: weather conditions favor the formation of tornadoes.

Older Americans Act reauthorized

BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

On April 19, 2016, President Obama signed the Older Americans Act (OAA) Reauthorization Act of 2016.

Last July, the President called on Congress to reauthorize the act, which was reauthorized in 2006 but expired at the end of the 2011 fiscal year.

The re-authorization is welcomed by older Americans, families of older adults and the national aging network.

The Elder Benefit Specialist program is partially funded by the OAA. A special thanks to all of the advocates who worked tirelessly to get the act reauthorized.

The OAA was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. It aims to preserve older Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; right to live independently. Further, the act strives to help older adults age with dignity and maintain autonomy.

For the last 50 years, the act has sup-

ported a network of aging services. The goal of these services is to help older adults remain in their communities as long as possible. The services provided include home-delivered and congregate meals, caregiver support, preventative health services, legal services, transportation, job training and elder abuse prevention. Generally, services are intended to serve those who are 60 or older. However, the services often focus on serving those with the greatest social or economic need. The Act also supports families by offering services to caregivers.

BY THE GWAAR LEGAL SERVICES TEAM

In April, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin introduced a bipartisan bill to expand and improve palliative and hospice care.

The Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA) aims to strengthen training for palliative care teams and encourage palliative and hospice care research.

Hospice care tends to be more wellknown than palliative care.

It is overseen by a team of hospice professionals, and the patient is usually at home.

In order to be eligible for hospice, the patient generally needs to have a terminal diagnosis or have an estimated life expectancy of six months or less.

Patients elect to forego life-prolonging treatment and focus on living life as comfortably as possible.

Palliative care is administered by doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, usually in a treatment facility.

Unlike hospice care, patients can receive palliative care at any stage of illness, and they do not need to avoid life-prolonging treatments to receive

Both palliative and hospice care focus on relieving and preventing suffering and improving quality of life.

According to Baldwin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past ten years, the number of hospital-based palliative care programs has quickly increased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the number of providers available to fulfill the needs of these patients has not kept pace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Furthermore, many patients and care providers are not aware of the benefits and options for palliative and hospice care,â&#x20AC;? Sen. Baldwin concluded.

The billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-sponsors are Sen. Shelley Moore (R-WV) Capito and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR).

ADRC enhances transportation program

Preventing child ID theft with a credit freeze SID KIRCHHEIMER AARP

No matter where you live, a credit freeze is a great way for you to prevent identity theft — particularly the opening of new credit cards, loans and service accounts in your name.

But, a freeze isn’t easy to get for your offspring or grandchild.

Although legislation has been introduced, currently there are no federal laws concerning credit freezes for children.

Wisconsin is among only 23 states that have passed laws requiring credit-reporting bureaus to freeze a minor’s credit at the request of a parent, legal guardian or other representatives, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Other states are Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

Considering the risks, a credit (or security) freeze for children can be a good idea. A study by Carnegie Mellon University’s CyLab found that the likelihood of identity theft of those under 18 is 51 times higher than it is for adults. With a Social Security number and a clean credit history, identity thieves can apply for credit cards, loans, utility service or even government benefits in the child’s name — or attach any name and date of birth to create a false identity under that SSN. Because kids don’t check their credit reports (and without existing credit cards or utility service already in their name, they shouldn’t have one), the fallout can go unde-

tected for years or even decades. Many victims remain unaware until they apply for college loans, rent an apartment or apply for a job.

What you can do Equifax allows parents or guardians in any state to enact a freeze for a minor. The credit-reporting bureau will create a credit file if one doesn’t exist for the child, and promptly suppress it.

Experian has this form, which must be mailed with supporting documentation, to request a copy of your child’s credit report. If no credit report for your child exists, you’ll be notified. If there is a credit file, the bureau will provide a copy as well as a freeze, depending on state law.

TransUnion offers a form to let parents check for a credit file on their dependents.

But, it also allows freezes only in states that reserve that right for minors and their parents or guardians.

Innovis, the lesser-known fourth credit-reporting bureau, lets parents place a freeze on their dependents’ file regardless of state laws.

Warning signs Assume that identity theft has already occurred or is in progress if your child is: • Receiving credit card and loan offers.

• Denied a bank account, a driver’s license or government (or health insurance) benefits because his or her SSN has already been used.

• Mailed IRS notices claiming unpaid taxes.

• Getting debt-collection phone calls or bills.

new service, so please be patient as we work out the kinks!

BY TONYA EICHELT, SUPERVISOR ADRC OF NW WI

You may remember last November reading an article in The Speaker or in The Voice about ADRC of NW WI purchasing a wheelchair-accessible van.

Well, this new van will be up and running starting July 1, 2016.

We plan to use this van primarily for socialization trips, shopping, errands and special events.

These trips will be open to elderly and disabled individuals, living in Polk and Burnett counties.

Our goal is to accommodate each area and decrease the amount of travel time needed to pick up each individual who has reserved a seat in the van.

We have scheduled specific days for different communities throughout Polk and Burnett counties.

Details of the enhanced transportation service: • Co-payment of $1 per trip will be initially charged and will be accepted at the time of service.

• Local trips (in-town) to run errands as well as longer trips to bigger shopping areas will be offered.

• Trips are scheduled and coordinated by the ADRC, with special requests being considered as time and resources allow.

• Call the ADRC to reserve a seat on the van at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled trip of interest.

• Trips will be announced on the ADRC website, in The Speaker and in The Voice.

Please call the ADRC of NW WI at 877-485-2372 to reserve your seat today!

July 11 in Grantsburg For example, on July 11, individuals residing in the Grantsburg area will have the opportunity to join us on the van for a day of errands and shopping.

Trips for special events will be scheduled for each county.

For example, we have a trip planned for Burnett County residents to go to the Barron Farmers’ Market.

However, for these special trips our agency reserves the right to focus on the area of the county where there is the most interest and accommodate others as we are able.

We envision this van will fill a need in the community, but it is a

Job listings ranged from entry-level to executive, and popped up at every sized company.

The top seven industries for remote jobs were IT, healthcare, sales, administrative, customer service, education and training, and marketing, FlexJobs said in a press release.

Common job titles with remote working options include sales representative, writer, IT analyst, and interpreter/translator, among others.

Now that tax season is behind us and spring cleaning is ahead – it is a good time to go through old records and determine whether it is time to fire up the shredder or hold on to the records a bit longer.

Recommendations The general recommendations on how long certain documents should be stored are as follows: Keep for less than 1 year • ATM, bank-deposit, and credit-card receipts until you reconcile them with your monthly statements.

Once you’ve done that, shred the paper documents (to avoid ID theft) or securely trash electronic files unless you need them to support your tax return.

• Insurance policies and investment statements until new ones arrive.

• Pay stubs to verify W-2 at the end of the year.

Keep for more than 1 year • Loan documents (until the loan is paid off).

• Vehicle titles until you sell the vehicles.

• Investment purchase confirmations in stocks, bonds, mutual funds or anything else.

Keep until you sell the investment so you can establish your cost basis and holding period. If that information appears on your annual statements, you can keep those instead.

Keep for 7 years • Supporting tax documents (W-2, charitable donations receipts, etc.)

Keep forever • Essential records such as birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, Social Security cards, and military discharge papers.

• Defined-benefit plan documents, estate-planning documents, life-insurance policies, and an inventory of your bank safe-deposit box.

• Annual tax returns.

Interfaith of Burnett County is a small organization. We have few volunteers, but we do many things for many people.

Our mission is to support and assist those in need, helping those served to maintain their independence, dignity and a better quality of life.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for making all we do possible.

April statistics: • Mileage – 3,120 • Transportation – 19 people • Chore services – 72 • Firewood delivery – 111 • Food delivery – 58 • Furniture moved – 1 • Ramps built – 2 (included in total of 74) (two more are in the planning stages) • Ramps removed – 1 • Seniors served – 62 • Emergency housing – 6 • Fuel vouchers – 11 • Food vouchers – 14 • Vouchers for emergency relief (utilities, etc) – 5 Our budget shortfall will require us to reduce some of the services. Fuel, food and emergency relief as well as emergency housing will be cut back.

More donations would allow us to continue some of these things, but, without more financial help, we have to say “no” when we want to say “yes”.

Memorial Day is May 30. Thanks to all our Veterans.

Next, we’ll be looking forward to Father’s Day and then the 4th of July. Interfaith will be selling snowcones at the Webster parade and our 50/50 raffle tickets.

Interfaith will be in Webb Lake on July 2 to honor our veterans and celebrate our liberties. Interfaith hopes to be at Gandy Dancer Days and then Music in the Park on August 11, and we are working on some other fundraising ideas, too.

Check our Facebook page, Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County, for information on coming events, stories and just fun things.

Of course, you can always call 715-8664970 for details on what is happening, when and where you can volunteer, and to tell us if you know someone who needs our help.

Enjoy the warm weather and I’ll see you next month.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess with the routine

Pastor Bill Schroder Lakeside Community Lutheran Church

I grew up on a small dairy farm in northeast Wisconsin. One of the challenges was dealing with a heifer after she freshened (gave birth) for the first time.

The only time our cows came into the barn was for milking, and they had the routine down to a science.

Each cow knew her stall. As long as there was grain in the manger it was a pretty simple process. That is, until you brought a new mom into the barn for her first milking.

Inevitably the new mom would walk into the wrong stall and then everything was turned to chaos.

Cows were fighting with other cows to

get into their proper stall and it was mass confusion. After some encouragement, the new mom would find the correct stall and all was once again peaceful in the dairy cow kingdom.

Anyone who has ever dealt with dairy cows can chuckle at the paragraph above, but it is not near as funny when the same thing happens in a church.

The church I attended before becoming a pastor was a beautiful country church.

As long as the folks of this country church knew you they were very friendly, at least until you turned your back or sat in their pew.

FREDERIC SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST

True story â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I worked for a long time on convincing a friend to come back to church after years away. One Sunday he finally came back to church. Before I had the chance to greet him, he entered the church and sat down, right in the spot where my Uncle Herb sat every Sunday morning.

Sure enough, Uncle Herb followed him into church and very politely asked my friend to move.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, hospitality to the stranger is so critical. Welcome graciously, as you would want to be welcomed.

I believe Jesus said something along these lines to his followers.

th 9 2 Annual

Antique, Classic Car & Truck

Saturday, June 4 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Dear Antique, Classic Car & Truck Enthusiast:

w o h S

I think it is safe to say that Spring is here, and now that the snow is gone & warmer weather is back, it is our pleasure to invite you to our 29th Annual Car Show. Through the years we have seen a wide variety of vehicles and are looking forward to seeing many more in the years to come.

Whether it is fully restored or a work in progress, we would enjoy seeing what you drive. Come spend the day in Grantsburg and check out some of the other events going on in town over Big Gust Days.

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. It also keeps the traffic moving and the wait time to get in to a minimum. If you know of anyone else who has a vehicle they would like to bring please let them know about the show, we always like to see new faces and different vehicles. If you no longer want to receive our invitation, please fill out the attached form and send it back to us telling to take you off our list. We look forward to seeing you on June 4th, 2016!
