SIREN––“We opened at 10, but there have been people here since about 8:30 and thank heavens for this breeze,” said Pattie Wilson as she welcomed people to her plant sale as the temperature crept up to 90 degrees. “If not for that, we’d all be popsicles out here.” Pattie Wilson along with her husband Neal, own and operate the Lilac Village Bed and Breakfast in Siren. This is her third year having the large plant sale at Lilac Village. This one is different, it’s called Plants for Paws. Wilson is donating a portion of the proceeds to Tammi’s Wildlife Rescue, run by Tamara Larson. Over the weekend they ended up earning over $700 for Tammi’s Wildlife Rescue and Wilson said some people did SEE PLANTS, PAGE 13

When summer gets hot and humid, there’s nothing like hitting the water. Sometimes that means schlepping to the lake and fending for yourself against weeds, mud, or leeches. If you’re lucky, you’re within a short distance of a lazy day at the pool. The Grantsburg Community Pool began as a dream in 1970, opened in June of 1980 and currently is the only outdoor municipal pool in Burnett County. Construction was funded with a combination of donations, a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grant, and contributions from seven surrounding townships. It serves as the venue for the Grantsburg School District’s swimming lesson program and currently boasts 28 family and 38 single memberships. “We have 15 - 20 members here every day, so they are definitely getting their use out of it,” says the pool’s new manager, Sarah Covey. In fact, looking at the nearly 62 people who descended on the pool within its first hour on Friday, it is hard to believe that only six years ago things almost went aground. Between 2010 and 2013, the cost of government-required remodels threatened to sink the pool for good. In addition to the cost of initial construction, general maintenance costs run high. The pool had been operating at a loss for several years, but had been kept afloat by donations. But in 2010, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Safety Act required pool drains retrofitted or replaced with anti-entrapment drain covers. “The kiddie pool shut down in 2010 because there was no way to replace the drain easily,” said Village Treasurer Sheila Meyer. “They filled it in.” The financial strain of that and other repairs created a critical issue for the facility, whose maintenance SEE POOL, PAGE 2

and operations costs fall to the Village. In 2012, a second regulatory fix for pool lifts for accessibility (in accordance with the American Disabilities Act), created a larger rift. The Village Board had even voted on suspending pool operations until funds were raised. In an impassioned meeting that discussed quality of life and community, and with pledges for nearly all the repairs’ shortfall, the Village Board reversed its decision. “The School District agreed to do an additional tax levy to help run the pool and contributes $25,000 a year. Things are running pretty good now,” said Meyer. ‘There is no major improvements or repairs that have to be done now. And that contribution helps with that.” The cost to the taxpayer equals out to about $5 per $100,000. In 2013, a concession stand was added by the Village Pool Committee as an attraction to bring people to the pool. This year, the pool is improving on that with a snack card program. “Parents can buy a $5 snack card,” Covey said as she pulls out a card that resembles a retail punch card. “It’s in 25 cent increments, and we initial them as it’s used. We keep them here at the stand. So, kids don’t lose their money.” In addition to the variety of candy, chips, ice cream and soda, the stand has added a nacho-cheese warmer/dispenser and soft pretzels. “And the hockey association loaned us the slushie machine for the summer.” Even with all those choices, Covey often directs her customers’ purchases. On a bright, sunny and steamy Friday afternoon, she sounded more like a mom than a pool manager. “I have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, Mountain Dew, Sprite…. or Gatorade,” she rattles off. When the reply is for a soda, Covey goes for the hard sell. “Are you sure? It’s really hot, are you sure you don’t want a

Gatorade? I’d rather you drink a Gatorade than a Mountain Dew today. You’ll take a Gatorade? Will you really drink it? I don’t want you to waste it.” Satisfied, Covey asks the most important question—blue, red or purple? In the space of five minutes, she hustled at least two other kids into Gatorade. While this is Covey’s first year as pool manager, it is not her first time around kids. The Grantsburg alumni is a paraprofessional at Nelson Primary and Grantsburg Elementary School and knows many of the kids at the pool on sight. “I thought it would be a lot of fun to play with them in a different atmosphere,” she said. It is obvious watching her interact with them that they enjoy her company as much as she enjoys theirs. “Nice math, man. You could work here someday,” Covey complements a swimmer during one of the mandatory hourly 15-minute breaks in swimming action. She teases another on being a thrifty shopper. Then there is a frantic demand for pool noodles, and then everyone is back in the pool. There is a lot happening at the pool in July. Water aerobics will be offered on Wednesdays from 6 – 7 p.m. from July 11 to Aug. 1. Super Summer School swim lessons run July 16-27, and there will be a six-month to three-year-old baby and parent swim class. Plans are also in the works for a luau on July 27 and a Scouts/4-H day on July 29. “They just have to bring some proof they are in a troop, and they swim for free,” Covey said. “We’re going to try and do a couple of church days on Sundays. We have plenty of grassy area, so bring your grills and come spend the afternoon.” The pool is also available to rent for private pool parties on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., limited to one party per morning. Call Covey at the pool for more information and have a head-count ready. Covey’s goal is to be open until September 1. “It gets sketchy in August because the lifeguards are in sports like football and volleyball that starts up. So, I’m hoping to be able to do some creative scheduling- this one can come for an hour and that one can come for an hour.” It’s beginning to sound like a lazy day at the pool is anything but. Information on pool rates, memberships, and swimming lesson options can be found at grantsburgwi.com/grantsburg-community-pool.html. The Grantsburg Community pool open to the public daily from 1 - 8 p.m., weather permitting. Please call the pool at 715-4632877 with any questions.

Founding Fathers words hold up

I took a history class in college with a very young professor and we watched a video that showed this nation’s Founding Fathers as rock stars. They used iconic shots of a Thomas Jefferson painting and slowly-panning up shots of a George Washington statue while playing generic guitar-heavy music behind it. Whether these men were the ultimate patriots or just a group of rich white men who did not want to pay excess taxes to the British overlords, what is certain is they played a huge part in defining what this country should become. Either way, here are some of my favorite quotes from those illustrious men. “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people … they are the Sentinel only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” - Thomas Editor Jefferson Jonathan Richie “When people talk of the Freedom of Writing, Speaking, or Thinking, I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.” - John Adams wrote in a letter to Jefferson in 1817. The great thing about these two men is they were best of friends and after America became America, they began to hate each other until they died hours apart from each other on July 4th, 1826. Can you imagine living in a country without freedom of expression? Adams, our second President, did sign the Alien and Sedition Acts about 20 years before his letters to Jefferson. Those acts basically say the government has the ability to prosecute you for saying something negative about the government. I am well aware that there was almost 100 years between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, but I will always refer to Abraham Lincoln as one of our founding fathers. “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” – Abraham Lincoln Happy Birthday America! You’re only 242 years old (or 235, when the American Revolutionary War ended) and to humans that may seem like a lot, but not so fast. What we refer to as “ancient Egypt” was a civilization that lasted for 3,000 years, the Romans lasted about 2,000 years and the Greeks about 1,500. Was America’s first birthday in 1776 when colonists decided they wanted to be a free nation on their own? Or was it in 1783 when the British surrendered? Either way let’s hope there are many more, but let us not forget. I hope you enjoy Independence Day and I hope Americans have the ability to celebrate 3,000 more of these. That’ll show those pyramid builders. Finally, I leave you with a quote from Benjamin Franklin, my favorite founder. “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”

These are timeless lessons that will help our children throughout their lives. One of the harder lessons to learn is how to win and lose graciously. Sportsmanship is a character trait that is, in my opinion, undervalued in our society, even though every effort is made throughout childhood to instill the value. I have nothing but admiration for the athletes that go out and compete. I had a very short-lived baseball career in Little League. Never quite got the hand-eye

coordination down when it came to batting, and fielding — well let’s just say it wasn’t my strong suit, either. After getting assigned to my team — I was a Cub — it was time to begin practice. Batting practice, fielding practice, sliding practice, you name an aspect of the game, we practiced it. Due to the sheer number of children involved, there was little time to spend additional time with the ones that excelled or the ones that needed help. It was a production line, and it kept moving. When it came time to assign positions, I was named shortstop. This is an important position, one that requires a good field of vision, awareness of the runners and the ball and the various scenarios and the best responses to them. I was doomed. Thankfully, the coach saw that if his team had hopes of winning, he would need a different shortstop and I was moved to the outfield. I began in left field, and was soon moved to right field DEEP right field, the place where Babe Ruth might hit the ball, providing he was alive and happened to stop by and pinch hit.

unthinkable happened and a ball would get by two other players, which it didn’t. Deep right field is a peaceful place. Not much happens, and the mind of a young boy does tend to wander. It’s difficult to stay involved in the game when, if the wind is in the right direction you can’t even hear what’s going on. I did remember to come in to the dugout when the other team came out to field. Batting, as may have guessed by now, wasn’t my strong suit. I would swing on pitches that I shouldn’t, pass on ones that I should. This is not a recipe for success at bat. I may have gotten on base on balls by accident once or twice. Despite my less than sterling contributions, the team went undefeated. Sometimes, the remainder of the team can pick up the slack and carry a clueless member. The Cubs that season were such a team.

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.

Suicide: A Tale of Access

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Timing is right for Milwaukee Democratic National Convention

SENATOR PATTY SCHACHTNER

Suicide has touched communities across the nation. The deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain – like all deaths from suicide – are tragic. While tragic, their deaths refocused the national attention on what is a growing suicide epidemic. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that suicide rates in the United States increased by 25 percent between 1996 and 2016. Behind these numbers are lives. Stories that were cut short. Suicide is also a story - but one of access: ease of access Patty to firearms and lack of access to mental Schachtner health resources. More than half of all people who die by District 10 suicide use a firearm – the most lethal Senator method for suicide. Wisconsin’s rate is even higher - nearly three in four who die by suicide use a firearm. Close to 85 percent of suicide attempts by firearm are fatal. In contrast, five percent of people who attempt suicide through other widely-used methods die. A suicide attempt by firearm is near-instant. There is not the same level of planning required compared to other methods, meaning there is less time for people to reconsider or seek help during an attempt. The time between suicidal thoughts and a suicide attempt is important because of how it relates to impulsivity. A 2001 study regarding suicide attempts and impulsivity found that 70 percent of people spent less than one hour between considering suicide and committing an attempt; 24 percent said less than five minutes. Not having a firearm can reduce the effects of impulsivity, and in turn, reduce the number of suicide attempts among individuals who are in that mental state. Ease of access to firearms can also contribute to elevated suicide risk. Most notably, this includes unsecured storage of firearms at home. Researchers found that gun owners who practiced safe storage of firearms at home were 60 percent less likely to die from a firearm-related suicide, relative to gun owners who did not safely store their firearm. Unsecured storage of firearms has implications for children too. In 2016, 633 children committed suicide with a firearm. Many of these children found the firearm at home: unlocked, easily accessible, and loaded. Compounding this problem is the lack of access to mental health resources in many communities. In Wisconsin, 46 of its 72 counties contain federally-designated mental health professional shortage areas. Mental health shortages make it difficult for individuals contemplating suicide to seek professional help. It also makes it more difficult for individuals with a mental illness, who are at greater risk of suicide, to receive care. Rising suicide rates are an epidemic, and it is an epidemic driven in part by systemic, policy decisions. Wisconsin’s suicide rate has been higher than the national average for all but one year between 2008 and 2018. We can reduce the suicide rate, but we need to have real conversations about where we are and where we want to be. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273TALK [8255]. Trained counselors are available 24/7. State Senator Patty Schachtner represents Wisconsin’s tenth senate district. The district covers parts of Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix counties. She serves as the chief medical examiner for St. Croix County and has investigated deaths by suicide. She is a gun owner and practices safe gun storage methods.

The Democrats’ loss of Wisconsin in the 2016 presidential election could prove to be a winner for the state come 2020. The prize could be the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee. Wisconsin has never hosted a national political convention, despite a rich political history and a list of influential politicos — from Bob La Follette to Tommy Thompson. But the timing could be right this time around. The effort is led by Alex Lasry. The Lasry family is a major owner of the Milwaukee Bucks and donates to Democratic causes. Lasry, chair of the Milwaukee bid committee, said the city has everything the party needs, including the new Milwaukee Bucks arena, which is in the final stages of construction. “Milwaukee knows how to handle big events and we know how to put on a great party,” Lasry said. “There is no place that will be more affordable for delegates and has better weather in July than Milwaukee.” Milwaukee has never hosted a national convention, but its rivals have. Houston hosted the RNC convention in 1988 and the Dem convention in 1928; Miami Beach hosted both party conventions in 1972 and the GOP meeting in 1968.

Prosecutors allege the mother of seven tried to recruit people to carry out attacks for the Islamic State, and provided them with information on how to make explosives and poisons. The FBI said its investigation found that Dais used hacked social media accounts to discuss possible attacks with self-proclaimed members of the Islamic State group, but authorities haven’t connected her to any attack plots. A trial is scheduled for Aug. 27. She faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

James Hohmann, of the Washington Post, spoke at a WisPolitics.com breakfast in Washington on June 20. Hohmann called Milwaukee’s chances “good.” “All the political scientists have looked at this and said, ‘Look, the convention doesn’t move votes,’” he said. “But it does send an important message. And national Democrats get it that they’re serious about competing again in Wisconsin. And the fact is that Hillary Clinton took Wisconsin for granted. … For Democrats who are trying to decide what to do in 2020 it sends a powerful message” if they hold their convention in Milwaukee.

That was the first time Republicans had won the state’s electoral votes since Ronald Reagan’s re-election in 1984. Wisconsin and the upper Great Lakes states are key for any Democratic comeback after Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016. It’s said that political success is often about good timing.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Wisconsin man sentenced for locking woman in wooden box

WAUSAU—A judge sentenced a Wisconsin man on Tuesday to 13 years in prison for locking a woman inside a wooden box in his basement and sexually assaulting her. Allen Jamroz, 56, of Mosinee also was sentenced to seven years of extended supervision for second-degree sexual assault and false imprisonment. As part of a plea deal, charges of kidnapping and battery were dismissed but considered during sentencing, USA Today Network-Wisconsin reported. In court, the 20-yearold woman said she is “scared to have a relationship with anybody” after the December 2016 assault. “I have so many triggers now,” the woman told Marathon County Judge Greg Strasser. She said she worries about whether she will be able to trust any man enough to have a normal relationship. Authorities say the woman went to Jamroz’s home to visit his granddaughter, but the granddaughter wasn’t there. Jamroz asked the woman for help on a remodeling project in his basement, and then used a homemade stun gun on her, forced her into the box and screwed it shut. She was able to escape hours later. Jamroz apologized at the sentencing. “If I could take this back, I would,” he said. Jamroz has been a productive member of his community his entire life, said his attorney, Suzanne O’Neill. He worked for the Chicago Department of Sanitation before getting divorced and moving with his two children to Mosinee, about 175 miles northwest of Milwaukee. The judge said he looked at the picture of the box and saw the amount of work that went into cutting all the boards for it and joining them together. “It’s a coffin. That’s what it is — it’s a coffin,” Strasser said. Strasser ordered Jamroz to undergo counseling and to pay restitution for the woman’s counseling.

Grantsburg schools bid farewell to retiring staff members LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—It is said that a generation is measured by a 25-year span. If that is the case, then each of these three recently retired employees of the Grantsburg School District have influenced at least one generation of kids. Although in reality, their influence reaches exponentially farther. JIM CHADWICK Custodians are the unsung heroes of the school (because even lunch ladies got their own song). It’s the grunt work of being dad without any of the perks. But as pointed out by Carl, the school janitor in the movie The Breakfast Club, “I am the eyes and ears of this institution, my friends.” Jim Chadwick began his 24-year career with the Grantsburg School District as the night custodian at the high school in 1993. Prior to this, he spent 15 years in the custodial field – three years as building and grounds manager- for the Mound Park Academy in Minnesota. Most of his career was spent splitting his shifts between the middle and high school buildings. His conscientiousness and dependability also translated outside the halls of learning, as shown in his many years of dedicated service to the football program. It’s also obvious that Chadwick was among friends in the school, always willing to volunteer his services whenever needed. In 2014, he joined Team Sawyer, and shaved his head in solidarity during Sawyer Coy’s cancer fight. Chadwick is also on record as an active performer in the Faculty Follies fundraiser- taking a turn as Principal Josh

Watt in one performance, and as the pepperoni pizza in a version of Adam Sandler’s Lunch Lady song. While Chadwick officially retired in August of 2017, he still pops in occasionally to fill-in a shift or help with special events. STEVE JOHNSON As noted in his letter of resignation, GHS math teacher Steve Johnson never really applied for a job. As a young man, the Grantsburg High graduate was approached by Merlin Johnson to come back and teach. So Johnson did. In the 43 years that followed, Johnson taught mathematics, but he also helped develop a strong softball program. A program well-known enough that when now-Principal Josh Watt first accepted a teaching job in Grantsburg, his relatives from the other side of the state knew about it. After his official retirement five years ago, Johnson continued on as a substitute teacher and a teacher in the Response to Intervention(RTI) program, that tasks instructor with developing alternative approaches to lessons. Johnson’s fellow teachers have long-recommended him as one to emulate, and parents as well as students have said he was an excellent teacher who made math fun. There aren’t very many people these days who can say they’ve only had one employer in their adult life. And fewer yet who can say they still find their chosen field fun. Johnson can say both. BILL MORRIN Through the years, Bill Morrin has received a lot of abuse. He’s had his head

shaved. He’s been taped to a wall. He’s been dunked in a tanks of not-so-warm water. He seems to take it all in stride. It’s obviously never been enough to drive him away from the students in Grantsburg. Morrin came to the Grantsburg school district as the varsity volleyball coach in 1985. By 1986, he’d convinced them to hire him as a PE teacher. From there, it was only up. In 2007, Morrin took on the GHS Dean of Students duties in addition to his teaching and coaching and in 2013, he became the principal of GMS. To call Morrin a volleyball coach is to slightly underplay it. His career coaching record (which also includes time with Webster and Washburn schools) sports 841 wins, 84 losses, and 27 conferences, 22 regional, 14 sectional, and 4 state championships. In 2010, Morrin was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s Coach of the Year. Aside from all that fanfare, Morrin seems like a guy who likes to have fun and isn’t too afraid of looking silly. There are several photos in the world of young men standing with Principal Morrin in matching shirts and ties. There is a at least one video of Morrin wearing a Santa hat - presumably commenting on winter weather. After spending so many years making sure the children of Grantsburg got a good foundation, it’s only natural to hope that these guys spend as much quality time with their families as daylight allows. Congratulations and thank you for your years of dedicated service!

Even though a trip to the local ice cream parlor can yield many different opportunities to indulge, making ice cream at home is easier than one may believe. Also, creating homemade ice cream can be a fun way to experiment with unique flavors and textures. It is easy to customize concoctions based on what everyone likes best.

Summer novel ideas: Downtown leaders are readers BY CHRIS STUCKENSCHNEIDER

Grant By Ron Chernow Reviewed by Bridgette Kelch I am reading my way through books about our nation’s Founding Fathers and presidential biographies, in the order in which they served. I’ve always had a great love of presidential history, had visited Hamilton’s home in New York and heard all the hype for “Hamilton: An American Musical.” I attempted to read “Alexander Hamilton” by Ron Chernow and was having great difficulty because of its length and my busy schedule, so I listened to the audio book and loved doing so. This led me to read Chernow’s “Washington: A Life,” and next I tackled “Benjamin Franklin” by Walter Isaacson. I followed that with books on Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. For this feature, I dug right into “Grant” by Chernow. As I began to read, I tried to think about what I knew of Grant: He led the U.S. forces in the Civil War, he had ties to Missouri, he was a drunk and smoked cigars, he became president, and during that office was corrupt. I liked him, but knew he had some serious issues; after reading “Grant” I think what I knew is pretty typical of what most Americans know of our former president. The vast research Chernow put into this book is clear from the beginning. The esteemed author was able to set the record straight on Grant’s use of alcohol and his two presidential terms. Grant was most likely an alcoholic, but it never interfered with his official duties. His enemies used rumor and gossip to hurt his reputation, but Lincoln knew he needed a man of action and that man was Grant. Lincoln was once warned of Grant’s drinking and responded, “Can you send a barrel of whatever whiskey he drinks to all my other generals?” In his two presidential terms, President Grant was viewed as corrupt, incompetent, a loser and again as an alcoholic. He was the only president to serve two consecutive terms between Andrew Johnson and Woodrow Wilson — only one out of 12 presidents to do so! He also gave jobs to “a prodigious number of blacks, Jews, Native Americans and women.” After leaving office, Grant’s bad luck

struck again when he discovered he had throat cancer and was bankrupt from a bad business deal. Grant published his memoir, which is brutally honest and striking. Chernow’s “Grant” has now given me a wholly different opinion of Grant: He was humble, he had bad luck in business, he was a military genius, an adept politician, an advocate for black Americans, and a devoted husband and father. The biography of his life educated and entertained me from first page to last. Robin By Dave Itzkoff Reviewed by Toni Cavin The first time I saw Robin Williams on television, I wondered what this hairy little man was on. He talked faster than the speed of light and bounced from subject to subject with no pauses or connections. But I was in awe with how easily he touched on pieces of my life and analyzed them with such accuracy, while still finding humor in mundane events. From then on, I would watch him every chance I could. I often tried to suppress my laughter so that I wouldn’t miss the next sentence. Then, I would feel tears welling up as he morphed into the most sensitive, compassionate man I had ever seen exposing his soul. I often wondered from what well he was drawing from to illicit all of these emotions. While reading “Robin,” by Dave Itzkoff, I was finally able to understand what formed the actor’s fractured and fragile personality. Although, as is often made clear in the book, no one ever really was able to get into Robin’s

head and understand all of his demons. He was at once a very shy man and an extremely driven performer. Along with understanding Robin’s coming of age in the early comedy circuit, the book gives insight into the whole San Francisco and Los Angeles comedy scene. I found it very interesting to learn about his relationships with many of the other now well-known comedians who were crafting their identities at the same time. By the end of the book, I just wanted to embrace Robin and reassure him that he could find some security in relationships that would last longer than a week or month or year. But I realized that I would have had no better chance of saving him from himself than the many people who had tried to love him but were never granted access to his soul. I hope he finally found peace. The Darkling Bride By Laura Andersen Reviewed by Carolyn Witt The Darkling Bride” is a true Gothic with all the characteristics found therein. A dark tortured hero, an intelligent sharp heroine who is threatened by hostile family and/or resident ghosts all in a historic looming castle in County Wicklow, Ireland. I knew I was in for a wild ride when the author referenced Victoria Holt, Daphne du Maurier and Mary Stewart, authors I read from my teens who were

Plan Perfect the

masters of the Gothic tale. Our heroine is half Chinese, with the interesting name of Carragh Ryan. She was a native of Boston and adopted into the Ryan household. Her past also holds secrets that she tries to ignore as she takes a job working in the 700-year-old library at Deeprath Castle. Her job is to catalog the collection before the estate is turned over to the Irish National Trust. Nirvana for a bibliophile! Throw into the mix a strained family of Gallaghers who have resided in the castle from the time it was a Norman keep. Our hero and his sister were children when their father was murdered and their mother fell from the Bride’s Tower; they were 10 and 15 years old respectively. These violent deaths haunted their lives for 23 years and the castle has only been reopened to facilitate the transfer to the Trust and to catalog the library. Aiden Gallagher, his sister Kyla and her two daughters, along with a somewhat estranged husband, join their Great Aunt Nessa at Deeprath just as Inspector McKenna of Serious Crimes Review (we would call it cold cases) of the Garda reopens an investigation of the unsolved murders. (Murder? Suicide?) A parallel story unfolds at the beginning of each chapter focusing on Jenny Gallagher who married a writer in 1879, bore a son, descended into madness and jumped from the Bride Tower three years after her marriage. Our heroine hopes to find a lost manuscript written during this marriage, lost and never published. This technique is found in Lauren Willig’s Pink Carnation series. The two stories combine and make for a significant plot detail. Throw in the more ancient tale of the Darkling Bride and there is enough Gothic atmosphere for the most fervent fan. The story of Jenny and Evan Chase, her husband, is a key element in solving the 20th century crime of murder. With a little help from resident ghosts, the story comes to a satisfying end with villain caught, romance SEE NOVEL IDEAS, PAGE 9

blooming and most questions answered. I could have used a bit more closure on the Darkling Bride part of the story. The Irish setting was well-described and added greatly to the atmosphere. The characters were clearly drawn and easy to get attached to as the story moved forward. If you fondly remember those Gothic tales with a lovely maiden on the cover, in great distress fleeing from a dark, looming castle/mansion, or if you are new to this style and need a bit of an escapist read, I highly recommend “The Darkling Bride” by Laura Andersen. Full Battle Rattle By Changiz Lahidji and Ralph Pezzullo, Reviewed by Chris Eckelkamp

“In Full Battle Rattle,” by Changiz Lahidji and Ralph Pezzullo, retired Master Sgt. Lahidji writes about his time serving the United States of America as a Green Beret; he spent over 24 years in the Beret’s Special Forces. Master Sgt. Lahidji was born and raised in Iran, prior to coming to America in the 1970s to seek freedom and opportunity. By 1979, Lahidji was the first Muslim member of the Green Berets, where he would spend more than two decades traveling to dozens of territories defending the U.S. Each chapter of this thrilling book details a different conflict where Special Forces were needed, and Changiz risked his life each time. From the Middle East to Africa to the Caribbean, Changiz was involved in well over 100 combat missions. I found “Full Battle Rattle” an easy read, with each chapter grabbing your attention as it educated the reader on the impact our Special Forces and military has across the globe. Changiz came to our country because of the freedoms he believed in, and spent years of his life defending those freedoms. His courage and work ethic are truly inspiring. I enjoyed read-

ing about the successes and failures of the longest serving Special Forces A-Team soldier in U.S. history. A False Report By T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong Reviewed by Leanna Epperson “A False Report: A True Story of Rape in America,” by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, is a true story that brings one woman’s nightmarish story of being victimized to light, relating how an investigation went devastatingly wrong at the onset. It wasn’t until two female detectives, one from Colorado and one from Washington, started investigating like claims in their respective states and sharing evidence that it was discovered they had a serial rapist on their hands. There are several victims in this book, but the main focus is on one woman, an 18-year-old named Marie, from Seattle, who was raped by her attacker, then continuously victimized by the male detectives working the case, and even by her family and friends, none of whom believed her story. She was ultimately righted but not before her life was turned upside down. Marie was a troubled teenager and spent time in different

New

foster homes throughout childhood. By her late teenage years, she was splitting time between two homes — one with Peggy, a structured disciplinarian, the other was with Shannon, who was freer and fun loving. When Marie turned 18, she moved into an apartment, but still spent time with the two foster moms, the biggest influence on her life. When Marie was raped, they believed her troubled past caused her to make false claims as a cry for attention. Marie was brave enough to report her rape even though her attacker took pictures and threatened to publish them online. When she related her story to detectives and friends, and it wasn’t the same every time, she faced skepticism. Eventually she recanted the story and faced criminal charges for filing a false report. Sadly, it took two harrowing years for Marie to be vindicated. “A False Report” showcases how the rape culture in America has perpetuated the continued cycle of fear and the heinous way victims are treated when they do report an attack. The book also includes information about advances made since the ’70s when rape kits were created and distributed to better help with investigations. Even still, in the 21st century, victims are made to feel as though they have done something wrong. This book was a fascinating, eye-opening read

and each page kept you wanting more. Love and Death in the Sunshine State By Cutter Wood Reviewed by Danielle Grotewiel “Love and Death in the Sunshine State: The Story of a Crime” is the first book published by Cutter Wood. As a fan of true crime novels I was anticipating the story of a gritty investigative author getting into the details of a crime. This book is less true crime than a seeming autobiography of Wood. His effort resembled a graduate student writing about his forlorn love life and then saying “Oh, by the way . . . ” I was expecting the book to delve into the impact the crime had on Wood’s life, but instead received an unfocused, sometimes rambling, account of his graduate and postgraduate life. Wood didn’t paint a clear picture of that life either. It was difficult to empathize with Wood as a character in his own book. He may have been more relatable if he had actually explored his feelings for Erin and their relationship rather than recounting the bickering that happens in most relationships as though it was unique to their life. The chapters that specifically focused on the crime were well written. While not completely fact-based, the account of the night of the crime from the per-

FIREWORK

In “Resilient,” Dr. Hanson, the clinical psychologist describes his book as a summary of what he has learned about helping people heal from the past, cope with the present and build a better future. The book is broken down into four main parts, with three chapters in each section. One thing I greatly appreciated about the book is that Hanson stated toward the beginning that the book did not need to be read in order to be beneficial to the reader. For example, Chapter 8 focuses on motivation. If that topic is something that would benefit you, it’s possible to skip ahead without interrupting the flow of the book. Another thing that stood out to me regarding this book is the key point summary section at the end of each chapter. This is a basic recap of the important ideas in the chapter. For me, this was very helpful as the psychological descriptions and terms were a little confusing at times. The key points summary drove home the intended messages. I appreciated how Hanson included some personal life experiences he had. Those made his points relatable and helped me reflect. I took away many thoughts and ideas after reading this book. They will help me in my role as a wife, mother and professional. The great thing about this book is I was able to highlight a lot of parts that I can go back to as I face new life challenges. I appreciated the opportunity to read and review this book!

People have pets for various reasons. Some people are lonely, some people want protection or companionship, and some people have never known life without a pet. No matter what the reason, these pets act as companions, listening ears, and friendly faces. Studies by the American Heart Association have found that pets offer their owners more than friendship. They also offer significant health benefits. Pet owners are more likely to live a happier life, have lower blood pressure in stressful situations, and pet owners over the age of 65 have 30 percent fewer doctor visits compared to those who don’t have a pet. More specifically, people who own a dog enjoy even more benefits. Studies reveal that dogs must maintain a strict schedule of feeding and exercise. This helps the dog owner maintain a routine as well, keeping him or her more physically active and productive throughout the day. Furthermore, studies seem to indicate, pets offer all these health benefits because they fulfill the basic human need for touch. Touch is a proven method to lower stress which is why petting a pet is just so relaxing! So, pet owners, be thankful you have such a special companion to keep you happy and healthy. If you would like to share a picture of your pet(s) with us, please go to Healthy Burnett’s Facebook page and comment a picture of your special pet(s) on this article’s post. If you don’t currently own a dog or cat, consider adopting one! You can reach out to the Burnett County Humane Society today by calling 715-866-4096.

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

Wildﬂowers of Denali EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Frost sparkled on the picnic tables at the Alaska Geographic Field Camp in Denali National Park and the thermometer still read 30 degrees Fahrenheit even though the sun had risen four hours earlier at about 3 a.m. In pairs and trios, ten women bundled in puffy coats and winter hats emerged from tent cabins tucked into the white spruces and converged on a small yurt where Susan, our Alaska Geographic naturalist, had just brought out the coffee. Over hot cereal topped with pecans, cranberries, and yogurt, we discussed our plan for the day. The cold snap had fueled doubt among us students that we would find many wildflowers blooming in alpine areas. Carl Roland—botanist for Denali National Park—just smiled knowingly. Spotting a small, white flower with a bluish cast to the undersides of its six, cream-colored petals gave me hope, though. Carl identified it as windflower— Anemone parviflora—and we put the first species on our list for the Wildflowers of Denali field course. By the time we arrived at the place where Tattler Creek intersected Park Road, abundant sunshine had raised the temperature considerably. Here, Carl pointed out a yellow anemone—Anemone richardsonii—hiding under the willow shrubs. Then we crashed uphill through thickets of thighhigh dwarf birch with dime-sized leaves, stopping often to look at new plants. It was a relief to climb out of the brushy ravine and emerge onto the open tundra with low growing mats of vegetation. Turning to look around at the snowcapped peaks of the Alaska Range, I reflected on how far I’d come since leaving Wisconsin. Glancing down, though, I spotted the familiar ovate leaves and bell-shaped flowers of a blueberry bush. With a blueish cast and more rounded shape, these leaves did not belong to the common Wiscon-

sin species of lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium), but its cousin, bog blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum). Still familiar to me, I’d come to know this plant while canoeing in northern Minnesota and wetland monitoring in Maine. Someday I’ll travel to Iceland, Scotland, Scandinavia, the Alps, Russia, and Japan to visit my little friend in all of those places. This pattern is known as circumpolar distribution. Bog rosemary, bearberry, cottongrass, twinflower, and stiff clubmoss are some other of my favorite Northern Wisconsin bog species who share a similar global range. Their adaptations to severe cold, short growing seasons, and other challenges help them thrive both at high latitudes (circling the North Pole) and high altitudes further south. If you tilt a globe and look at it with the North Pole in the center, you also see that there’s a lot of land up there. Plants don’t recognize international boundaries.

EMILY STONE

This species of yellow anemone grows on both sides of the Bering Strait from Russia, through Alaska and Canada and into Greenland!

Beyond the blueberries, a scattering of creamy flowers with bright yellow centers nestled into a mat of hearty, dark green leaves. These rose-relatives are called mountain avens. Immediately I thought about my friend Caitlin who did her graduate research on flowering phenology across the continent in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Mountain avens are her favorite flower. This species, Dryas integrifolia (as well as the two anemones we saw earlier), is considered “amphiberingian,” which means that its distribution spans the Bering Strait in North America and northern Eurasia, but doesn’t extend into Greenland or Europe. The Bering Strait was a land bridge that connected Alaska to Russia when sea levels fell during times when more of Earth’s water was locked up in glacial ice. Plants, animals, and even people may have used this temporary travel route. Because it was ice-free and kept relatively warm by the ocean, it was also a refuge where plants could escape

the grind of glaciers. Sunshine warmed us on the tundra, and we spent hours on our knees and bellies identifying carpets of alpine flowers. I needn’t have worried that we find enough to look at—these plants know how to make the most of a short summer. As we crashed back through the brushy ravine of Tattler Creek, Carl pointed out ruffled leaves and fuzzy buds that would soon bloom into a bear flower—Boykinia richardsonii. This showy stalk of white flowers is a remnant of Alaska’s Tertiary Period forests. It has been growing here for more than 2.58 million years—since mammals became dominant and the continents moved into their current locations. In Denali, there are 233 plant species—29 percent—who are considered circumpolar. Throughout the park, sparsely vegetated alpine areas support higher plant diversity than lower, warmer places with higher productivity. Doesn’t that seem backwards? Shouldn’t the higher, colder, more extreme environments support fewer plants? The key here is that during the past 300,000 years, treeless, steppeand-tundra-like landscapes have been a constant. Other habitats— and their plants—disappeared. The plants that stuck around at the edge of the glaciers were pre-adapted to the conditions in the current alpine zone. They may not have always existed right here on the slopes above Tattler Creek, but their journey to get here would have been a whole lot shorter than mine. Emily is in Alaska for the summer!

This petite b g girl is around six pounds a and is a grey/blue/silver ttabby short hair with llight green eyes. Tara a arrived at the shelter with ssix one-week old kittens, a and she amazed the staff a at what a wonderful, p patient mother she was. S She is easygoing, patient, q quiet and loving and is Tara good with cats and kids. She would make a terrific addition to any family. Tara (and her babies) are ready and waiting to go home with you! Zoey is a beautiful and sweet nine-month-old brown tabby that found herself at the shelter due to her owner’s illness. She’s a fluffy girl (somewhere between the short- and medium-hair variety) who weighs in at about 8 pounds. Zoey likes to purr and cuddle and is good with kids, although she’s not an enthusiastic fan of cameras. If you promise not to try and make her a YouTube star, Zoey would like nothing better than to be a member of your family! HSBC still has Skittles and Cassie from past profiles, four other adults, and 14 kittens. The kitten adoption special is still on: a discounted price on the first kitten and get a second for the price of a Zoey donation. That’s twice the love at a fraction of the regular price! Check the shelter website or Facebook page to see if your new pet is there! If you can spare any dish soap, bleach wipes, cat and kitten toys or kitty litter, donations can be dropped off during public hours. The cats would sure appreciate the help!

not buy any plants, they simply donated to the wildlife cause. “I wanted to donate to a non-profit and when Tammi brings these animals into the nursing home, the people there just love it,” said Wilson who is also the activity director at Frederic Nursing and Rehab. “She comes around every year with her petting zoo of animals and people just love it.” Going through the photo gallery on their website, www.tammiswildliferescue.net, a number of animals can be seen being taken care of, these include some ducklings, a fox, a couple of fawn and even a bear. The website states, Tamara dedicates lots of hours to helping these animals get fixed up, rehabbed back to health so they can return to their natural environment. They are also constantly updating their Facebook page with animals they have rescued and inform their followers on how the animals are doing. Jen Strenke was at the sale in place of Tammi, who was showing animals off to school children in Frederic. She has been helping Tammi for five years and says that Tammi has been rescuing wildlife for over 30 years. “I work with her all the time with picking up animals that have been called in for rescue,” Strenke

explained. “Last week we rescued a couple of injured fawns.” Tammi’s Wildlife Rescue sets up petting zoos for the animals all throughout the summer. So far they have been to a number of summer schools, Frederic Family Days, Burnett Dairy Days and Vacation Bible schools. “We’re kind of all over the place, including a while ago, when we went down to Baldwin,” Strenke said. They only had a few animals on display, at Lilac Village because, of the tremendous heat – a bearded dragon, guinea pig, a bunny and a chinchilla. Wilson holds three sales throughout the summer – during Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. Last weekend they had over 500 plants with at least 100 different varieties of plants on sale. “We’ve got plenty of perennials, some bushes, vegetables and fruits,” Wilson said. During a tour, Pattie points out all the different types of plants and the sunlight they need. On the Lilac Village property they have 40 gardens – one is full shade, another is half shade and a bunch are no shade. Lilac Village also has 30 different varieties of lilacs growing on the property. Wilson says the best time for viewing the gardens are in Mid-July when everything is in full bloom. She admits with the winter the area saw that major bloom may be delayed a couple of weeks. “We’ve got a cherry tree right over there, they’ll be fresh in a little while,” Wilson says after she explains that she takes her morning cup of coffee out to the garden for a walkthrough every morning. “Here’s a kiwi plant. There’s also apples, pears and plums growing here.” A total of 13 different fruits grow at Lilac Village along with a plethora of vegetables which grow in their

abundant vegetable garden. Some of these fruits and vegetables are donated to the local food shelf. “We donate pears and apples to Ruby’s Pantry in Siren,” Wilson says. “We usually give the food shelf a call when things start to ripen around here.” The sale went so well over the weekend Wilson is considering having another sale on the Fourth. The Asiatics in her garden are beginning to bloom now. “The sale was fantastic,” Wilson exclaimed. “We sold more than 455 plants and bushes, with sales still coming.” Wilson says the summer is her busy time. The next plant sale is scheduled to be held around Labor Day weekend. Along with the plant sales, Wilson also gives garden tours of the entire property. “I like to stay busy,” Wilson said. “It’s better for me.”

The Sterling Settler’s Picnic on Sunday, June 24 honored attendees over 80. This year, it was almost half of the total attendance! The picnic is held at the Cushing Community Center.

Sterling Settler’s Picnic 2018 CUSHING—There were 69 attendees for the 80th Sterling Settler’s Picnic at the Cushing Community Center on Sunday, June 24. Marcie Marquardt opened with a welcome, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and singing of the table prayer. The line of mouth-watering choices of abundant goodies were quickly piled on the plates to appease appetites. Added with catching up on fellowship with friends.

Made for many contented looks in their faces. Shirley Christensen presented a lot of history on this, the longest running area picnic over the past 80 years. Many different sites and how there have been as many as 300 to 500 attended at times in the past. As well many shared memories from past picnics. There were many pictures and news articles presented on display. The program also in-

cluded Kristen Hanson’s gift of her voice, singing “Amazing Grace” and “God Bless America.” Marquardt took a moment to say thank you to all who help make this picnic a success, from the board members, the SELHS to the Cushing Bank for Ice Cream. And, Of course, all those who attend yearly. Russ Hanson asked for moment to reflect on the loss of friends that have passed since last year and re-

membering how they had been faithful attendees in the past. Following the program, attendees were treated with strawberries (picked by Russ Hanson family), cake and ice cream. A great way to end the day! Each year, the Historical Society, who organizes the picnic, gives awards to the oldest woman, oldest man and the longest-married couple. This year ribbons went to: oldest woman: Connie Gray, 93; oldest man: Myron Bergstrom, 94; and longest-married couple: Myron and Verle

Bergstrom, 70 years – Oct. 1947. As always, the picnic honors the “Over 80 Gang.” This year, that was almost half of the attendees in this group!

She was one of three special guests at the 2018 Rural Arts Forum held June 29 at the Northern Lakes Center for the Arts in Amery, Attendees representing Hammond, St. Croix Falls, Glenwood City, Rhinelander, Hudson, Amery, Spooner and Webster had a chance to network, present their current projects, share ideas, and hear the latest news about Wisconsin’s creative economy from Madison-based George Tzgrous, director, Wisconsin Arts Board, and Anne Katz, executive director of Arts Wisconsin. Earl Duckett, president of Arts in Hand based in Spooner (formerly Wisconsin’s Northwest Heritage Passage), talked about, and handed out, the 2018 edition of a northwest Wisconsin gallery map produced by AIH. He emphasized how both the gallery operation and the map production are accomplished solely by volunteers. “Recruiting and retaining volunteers is one of our greatest challenges,” he noted. “It’s too much to expect. There are other ways of approaching the map, he said, such as having a commercial marketing business produce and distribute a professionally designed brochure.” Plans for 2019 include a “Clay Day” gallery special event scheduled for August 17 – designed to educate the public about pottery by inviting artists to set up wheels in the city park adjacent to the gallery. “We’ll also be celebrating our 20th anniversary,” added Duckett. Lippert, who lives in a rural community of 800, pointed out that Wisconsin is known as the “Maker State” - a hub of manufacturing. “The arts are part of the maker economy,” she said. “The arts

and the creative economy are integral to our rural communities. They are vital to creating vibrant places that attract people, especially young people, to stay or come back to their towns and villages.” Tzougros pointed out that it was through Lippert’s efforts that arts and creative economy were included as part of the 2017 Governor’s Northern Economic and Community Development Summit program with a breakout session devoted to a discussion of how the arts impact local economies. Forum participants received copies of 21st Century Wisconsin, a recent 43-page Arts Wisconsin report published in partnership with the League of Wisconsin Municipalities. The colorful book features snapshots from around the state showcasing creative economy successes. “Wisconsin communities looking to thrive in the 21st century are focused on investing in the arts and culture to generate jobs, revenue, civic engagement and quality of life,” writes Katz in the report’s introduction. Copies of the report will be distributed to legislators, decision-makers, community leaders and candidates. Katz stressed the importance of connecting with candidates in the upcoming elections to find out where they stand on including the arts and creativity in their visions. “Creativity is the engine that drives vision,” she said. One of the visions for Wisconsin is the passage of “Wisconsin Creates,” a statewide program designed to invest dollars in Wisconsin’s creative economy. The legislative process continues to move forward, said Katz. “Last October, SB284 passed the Senate Committee on Small Business, Agriculture, and Tourism and AB393 passed the Assembly Committee on Jobs and the Economy, both with unanimous votes,” she said. Arts Wisconsin monitors the bill’s progress in the budget cycle and sends out “Call to Action” emails when it’s time for constituents to ask their legisla-

tors to support the bill when it comes up for a vote. The Wisconsin Arts Board, headed up by Tzgrous, is the state agency that nurtures creativity, cultivates expression, promotes the arts, supports the arts in education and commerce and serves as a resource for the public. He spoke to the group about several subjects including the WAB strategic plan with the four “C’s” that are its foundation: Creativity, Commerce, Culture and Community. He noted that Americans for the Arts,

a Washington, D.C.- based advocacy and lobbying organization, created a rural arts section at this year’s annual conference. Their 2019 conference will be held June 1416 in the Twin Cities, providing a unique opportunity to participate. All three speakers urged the group to share their successes with local leaders and their state and congressional legislators: invite them to events, send them newspaper clippings and marketing materials. The 21st century, they said, is all about creativity in human endeavor.

Gustafson plays, Johnson coaches in WBCA All-Star Classic BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

OSHKOSH—The Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association’s 35th annual All-Star Classic was held over the weekend with two representatives of the West Lakeland Conference on the West team. Webster’s Hunter Gustafson was one of 72 seniors from Wisconsin chosen to play in this year’s all-star game. Gustafson has had an impressive career with the Hunter Gustafson Tigers and ended his high school career with a standout senior season. His bio for the All-Star Classic read, “He was hitting .487 going into the State tournament. He had three

homers, 31 RBI and 11 doubles. He was named first team all-conference and first team all-district (northwest) his senior year. He was also named first team all-state academic. He was third team all-state and was named Most Outstanding Player of the state tournament this year.” Grantsburg’s head coach Pete Johnson was selected this year to coach the West team at the All-Star Classic alongside coaches Bill Coker of Athens and Chris Kempf of Ashland. Johnson has coached just about every level of baseball Pete Johnson that can be coached and took over as head coach midway through the 1998 season after having been the assistant since 1993. He’s led his Pirates to 12 conference championships,

12 Regional championships, and two Sectional Championships: once in the summer season of 1998 and once in the spring season of 2011. “For me it was great to coach this game with Chris Kempf from Ashland (over 400 wins) and Bill Coker from Athens (2-time defending D4 state champs),” Johnson said. “They are much smarter than I am and it was fun to spend a couple of days with two great guys. Bill C. was a college friend of mine that I have only seen once in the last 25 years.” Johnson and Gustafson’s West team was 1-2 for the weekend. Gustafson played first base during the all-star games and had a hit that resulted in the go-ahead run in the last inning of a 4-3 win over the South team. “In the top of the seventh inning, one out with a runner on first,” Johnson says of Gustafson’s hit. “After hitting a foul off his knee, Hunter smashed a single to left center and the lead runner was thrown out at the plate. The next batter hit a double to drive in the eventual winning run.”

Pirates golf classic The Grantsburg Pirate football program held their annual golf tournament on Saturday, June 23. Sixteen teams of four turned out on a beautiful day to support the program and have a little fun on the course. At left, Pirate alum Andrew Coy tries his hand (or foot) at punting a football for yardage at a special “Punt, Pass or Kick” option at one of the holes. His teammate, Chandler Witzany, watches while awaiting his turn. At right, another Pirate alum, John McNally, taps in a nice putt for his team. Lower right, Sara Moore shows off her perfect form as she drives the ball up the fairway.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Police: Shoe camera explodes, thwarting upskirt-video plan MADISON—Police in Wisconsin say a man’s plan to take videos up the skirts of women was thwarted when his shoe camera exploded. Madison Police Chief Mike Koval said in his daily blog that the 32-year-old man wanted to turn himself in to police on Tuesday. But the man wasn’t arrested because he hadn’t taken any videos before the camera’s battery fizzled. Koval wrote that the man’s foot was injured when the battery exploded. The chief added that the man was “counseled on his actions” and released because no video had been taken. WKOW-TV reports that police say the investigation continues. A police spokesman says authorities don’t know why the man wanted to turn himself in.

As US market weakens, Harley-Davidson recruits new riders BY IVAN MORENO ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEE—Harley-Davidson, the iconic brand that sells its customers an image of freedom and adventure, found itself in an unwanted role this week: poster child for the damage of an international trade war. Harley said it would move production of motorcycles bound for Europe overseas, blaming European Union tariffs it said would add an estimated $2,200 cost to the average bike. That prompted President Donald Trump — whose own tariffs prompted the EU moves — to accuse Harley of using tariffs as an excuse for moves already planned. Beneath the rhetoric, Harley is a company that needs overseas growth to shore up a business that is shrinking in the United States, where retail sales fell 8.5 percent last year. International sales also fell, but by less than 4 percent. Milwaukee-based Harley has been putting renewed emphasis on teaching people to ride as part of its effort to attract more customers. As The Associated Press reported in December, Harley has expanded the number of dealerships with a Harley “Riding Academy.” The program launched in 2000 with about 50 locations; the company now says 250 dealerships in the U.S. offer the three- or fourday course. It says about a quarter of those launched since 2014. The Motorcycle Industry Council says the median age of motorcycle owners increased from 32 to 47 since 1990. About 46 percent of riders are over 50; only about 10

percent are 30-34. Samantha Kay rode on the back of her father’s motorcycle growing up, but when the 25-year-old took a class to ride for the first time she couldn’t help being anxious. “I think motorcycles inherently do scare a lot of people,” Kay, of Milwaukee, told The AP in December, when she was one of 50,000 people nationwide to take such a riding course at a Harley-Davidson dealership in 2017. The training is one of the ways Harley is trying to attract a new generation of riders like Kay amid big demographic shifts. “Some of the aging Baby Boomers, which have been the guts of Harley-Davidson’s purchasers, they’re getting older and some of them are just getting out of the sport because they can’t handle the motorcycle anymore,” Clyde Fessler, who retired from Harley-Davidson in 2002 after holding several executive positions over 25 years, told the AP in December. He created what became the “Riding Academy.” He said the idea “is getting people comfortable on a motorcycle and getting them to feel safe and confident.” In addition to riders getting older, a slow economic recovery has made it harder for millennials to buy new motorcycles, said Jim Williams, vice president of the American Motorcyclist Association. Among the newest models, a 2018 Softail Slim starts at $15,899 and a 2018 Sportster Forty-Eight at $11,299. But it’s not all the millennials’ fault, said Robert Pandya, who managed public relations for Indian Motorcycles and Victory

Motorcycles. Pandya recently launched “Give A Shift,” a volunteer group discussing ideas to promote motorcycling. One of their conclusions, he said, is the idea that “if mom rides, the kids will ride.” Currently, women are about 14 percent of the riding population, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council. “The biggest possible opportunity in motorcycling is to invite more women to ride,” Pandya said in December. That’s not lost on Harley-Davidson. Among the ways Harley-Davidson is trying to reach younger riders is by having motorcycle role-models like Jessica Haggett, the founder of the “The Litas” all-women motorcycle club, be a voice for the company on social media. And the company is also focusing advertising efforts in male-dominated sports like the X Games and UFC events popular with younger viewers. “I think we have to work harder to gain share of mind with young adults, for example, in that they have other activities in their lives. They’re on screens, they’re connecting socially, they’re involved in gaming, they’re involved in other things,” said Heather Malenshek, Harley-Davidson’s vice president of marketing. She said the easily customizable Sports Glide model that launched in November and the aggressive, performance-driven Fat Bob also have younger riders in mind. In all, the company plans to release 100 new motorcycles over the next 10 years. During that time, the company also wants to gain 2 million new riders.

Our 500 winners for the week of June 20 were Sue Newberger, Susie Hughes, Dean Elkin, and Gerry Vogel. Steve Wenthe got the 9 bid. We had a farewell party Wednesday. Elywin Bly has been playing 500 all summer. Her daughter came to pack up her things and move her to Watertown, Wis. to be near another daughter. Her family treated us to meat, cheese and crackers. They thanked all the seniors for having their mother be a part of card playing which she certainly enjoyed. We wish Elywin the best of luck in her new place. If you are up in the area, stop in and visit. Barb Geske and Diane Norman decorated for July 4th with red, white and blue flags. The center looks very festive with the new decorations. The Syren General store has received a new shipment of Lona Faye Root Haskins’ ”Humble Roots” book. She is a local person who lives in Florida. If you have not read this, now is your chance to pick up the book. The 500 winners were Phyllis Peterson, Dave Peterson, Marge Traum, Gerry Vogel, and Ton Knopik. Lorna Erickson and Dean Elkin shared the 9 bid. We had five full tables. There is no spade news as paper needed everything early due to holiday. We will play spades on Friday, June 29.

Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the board of review and procedural requirements if appearing before the board: 1. No person will be allowed to appear before the board of review, to testify to the board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property. 2. After the first meeting of the board of review and before the board's final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the board of review may contact or pro-

vide information to a member of the board about the person's objection, except at a session of the board. 3. The board of review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the board's first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the board's clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the board shall waive that requirement during the first 2 hours of the board's first scheduled meeting, and the board may waive that requirement up to the end of the 5th day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than 5 days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the board of review during the first 2 hours of the first scheduled meeting. 4. Objections to the amount

or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the clerk of the board of review within the first 2 hours of the board's first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the board may waive that requirement up to the end of the 5th day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than 5 days.

A burden that brings rest

Pastor Scott Sagle Calvary Covenant

As I write this article, I am exhausted. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great stuff happening, but I need some rest. For those who are tired and carrying heavy burdens that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry, Jesus says in Matthew 11:28 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come to me and I will give you rest by putting a yoke on your shoulders???â&#x20AC;? In Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day yokes represented the burden the oxen were forced to carry. It attached them to the plow. It represented hard labor. Yokes were a metaphor for slavery and oppression. How could a yoke bring someone rest? We all are under a yoke or burden of some kind. We are all slaves to something. We

were created to worship and serve another. Some serve their job, or the opinions of others, some serve drugs or other addictions. Some say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a slave to no oneâ&#x20AC;? and they are a slave to their selfish desires. All of these make terrible masters; the yoke they place on you is harsh. All of those things will destroy your life and break you down. With Jesus as your master, He is the carpenter who has designed a yoke to fit you perfectly, to make your work easier, so you can do what you were designed to do. He gives you the strength and wisdom to do His work. Work for any other master is killing

PILGRAM LUTHERAN FREDERIC (ELCA)

THE WOODLAND CHURCH

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH, ELCA

you, work for Jesus gives you new life. He is the only master who cares about you; you are His mission. He wants you to grow and thrive. Whatever He asks you to do will lead toward that end. That is why He is the only Lord and Master who can promise life and rest to those who submit to Him. That process of taking on a yoke comes in three parts in verse 28: 1) come to Me, 2) take My yoke, and 3) learn from Me. We come to Jesus, submit to Him as Lord and spend the rest of our life learning to follow Him. If we truly love Jesus, we will take on His yoke and serve Him.
