Committee brainstorms community issues JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GOVERNMENT CENTER–– Transportation, community togetherness, housing and law enforcement were the main issues the natural resources committee came up with last week. Lori Baltrusis, UW-Extension’s Area Extension Director, came to the meeting with markers and poster paper to write down the brainstorming ideas the committee members talked about. She came to the June meeting asking if they would like to have a brainstorming session or an online survey, they chose this session. County Supervisor Gene Olson brought up SEE NATURAL RESOURCES, PAGE 2

Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine announced on Friday July 13, he will be resigning from the position at the end of August. Norine has served as District Attorney for 10 years. Norine released a statement on Friday saying, “I have been honored to serve, and I believe my record in office speaks for itself.” He stated he will be stepping down and moving onto other endeavors. He was appointed to District Attorney in 2008 after Ken Kutz was appointed to Burnett County Circuit Court. Gov. Scott Walker’s office released a statement on Friday announcing that they were already searching for a new District Attorney in Burnett County. Norine was elected to serve his third term in 2016, so Walker’s appointment will serve in the county until the November 2020 elections “There is much that I will miss, and I will always cherish having had the privilege of engaging in public service, and seeking, to the best of my ability, fairness and justice for the citizens of Burnett County and the State of Wisconsin,” Norine said.

Abandoned trailer ﬁre in Grantsburg still under investigation An abandoned trailer near County Road D in Grantsburg caught fire on Monday night. There were no reported injuries. Grantsburg Fire Department got a call about a trailer fire on County Road D near Phantom Lake Road on Monday night in the Town of Grantsburg. They were assisted by Siren Fire Department as well as North Memorial Ambulance and the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department. “When we arrived the structure was fully engulfed in

flames,” said Grantsburg Fire Chief Cory Barnette. “It was a very old trailer and a matter of containing it so it didn’t spread to a nearby lot.” He explained that the single wide trailer was a “total loss” as a structure after the fire was put out. Barnette said the call first came in at 10:52 p.m. and added they had cleared the scene before midnight around 11:52 p.m. Barnette said the home was abandoned. It is unclear how long it had been vacant. “Siren backed us up on the call because it came in so late,” Barnette said.

He continued to explain that the cause of the fire remains unknown. It is under investigation by Grantsburg Fire Department. Burnett County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Scott Burns said at this time the sheriff’s department is not involved with investigating the fire. Burns explained that the Grantsburg Fire Department is handling the investigation of the fire, such as the origin. Burns said law enforcement would become involved if they believe criminal activity occurred at the scene of the fire.

NATURAL RESOURCES: Committee wants information on water levels in County CHANGES AT UW-EXTENSION Beth Rank, 4-H Youth & Family Development Educator, will now be working out of the Washburn County Extension office as well as the Burnett County office. County Administrator Nate Ehalt said the move will save the county between $40,000 $45,000 annually. He added that no program cuts to 4-H or the Family Development program. Olson was nervous about the move because of how successful the 4-H program is. “Look at the kids in our county that are involved in 4-H and compare that to our athletes, who gets caught up in drugs and other issues more?,” Olson asked rhetorically. “It’s not the 4-H kids.” Ehalt reiterated the change will not result in any programs being cut and said the decision can be reversed if the move does not work out.

transportation, citing people in drug court need reliable transportation to get to the government center or other meetings. He said it would cut down on operating while revoked “I sit on the drug court and people need to have someone that will take them from their homes to the meetings and back home,” Olson said. “What they don’t need is someone who will drop them off at the gas station for cigarettes and alcohol.” Then County Supervisor Chuck Anderson said the community has to come together. “We’ve got three main villages in the county and they all want to be their own entity,” Anderson stated. “Why do we have two county fairs?” Anderson continued to explain that if all the villages and municipalities were on the same page they would get better viability for tourism. “We all want to promote tourism and industry as well as recreation,” Anderson said. “We should all be working together and not in these groups.” When senior housing was brought up Chairman Peterson did not mince words. “On paper it doesn’t work,” Peterson said bluntly. “The cost to build has to be paid off over 25 years. No one is willing to pay for that and we don’t have the money for it.” He added there are no private contractors that are willing to commit to building houses in the county. Nate Ehalt explained that good professional workers turn

down job offers when they realize there is no good housing to move in to. Roger Noe of the Lakes Association added to the conversation an issue with law enforcement in the county. “Don’t get me wrong, law enforcement in this county do a great job,” Noe said. “There just isn’t enough of them it seems.” Ehalt summed it up with a simple message about the coun-

ty’s lack of funds and the levy limit put on the county. “None of these are easy to deal with,” Ehalt said. “We’re a local entity that cannot write our own story. So we have to stay within the limits and make it work.” Olson closed the discussion by telling Baltrusis, “write on the bottom for the last one, ‘Do nothing,’ and add a question mark.”

FOREST AND PARKS Jake Nichols, Forest Administrator, said they are in the process of applying for FEMA grants to help the Town of Blaine after the flooding in June. Nichols also gave an update on the timber sales so far this year. “They’re pretty active right now,” Nichols said. “We’ve collected around $400,000 in timber sales so far.” They are expecting to bring in $925,000 in total sales this year.

gram this year went very well. “We sold between 7,000 and 8,000 trees and around 1,500 shrubs this year,” Ferris said. Committee Chair and County Supervisor Ed Peterson asked Ferris about high water levels in the county. He was wondering if Ferris had some information on fluctuating water levels over the last 50-60 years. “You can access those records online and see the trends,” responded Ferris. “I can bring that to the next meeting. I just have to condense it so it is not 20 pieces of paper long.” Ferris was describing the timeline online that is very lengthy. “It is real interesting stuff though. It goes back to the 30’s,” Ferris concluded.

IN OTHER ITEMS: Recreation Officer Ryan Bybee gave an update to the committee on the trails, stating there have been a few minor accidents. He also said they have been having some issues with garbage dumping and graffiti. The suspects for two recent garbage dumping incidents have been cited, Bybee said. The Yellow Lake Narrows request for a light was approved by the committee. Noe aid the lake association will pay for everything to have the light installed on the dock. The electricity will come from a building owned by Renewable World Energies LLC, who monitors the water level at Yellow Lake.

Conditions in dispatch center addressed JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

GOVERNMENT CENTER––Maintenance Supervisor Gary Faught described the dispatch center, located in the center of the jail, as “an island of hot and an ocean of cool,” when talking about the issues of central air. “It’s an air flow issue that has to do with cooling capacity,” Faught said. He said that Johnson Controls were in the dispatch center analyzing their options for how to provide better working conditions for the dispatch center. Faught had reported to the committee in the past that the air conditioner was only working at 50 percent over Memorial Day weekend when outdoors temperatures reached the mid 90s. Jail Administrator

This wall of sponsors for the Air Show in Siren this weekend is larger than last year. It’s easily visible from Highway 35/70.

Mark Schmidt has also raised the issue at the public safety meeting last week. “I worked on a 12-hour shift on Sunday (July 1) and I was sweating quite a bit,” Schmidt said. “It was about 80 degrees in there all day.” Faught explained that Johnson Controls will have a “good, better and best” plan for how to fix the air conditioning issue in the dispatch center. He also explained that the

air conditioning equipment they currently have in the dispatch center will be obsolete by 2030. He suggested they set up a budget plan like was done with the airport. “Some of the equipment won’t be repairable after 2020,” Faught explained. “We need some sort of funds set aside to deal with this issue in the future.”

COUNTY AIRPORT PREPARES FOR GANDY AIRSHOW Chuck Shultz of the Airport department said the annual Gandy Dancer Fly-in has 80 sponsors for this year and they continue to come in. “It’s at least 20 more than last year,” Shultz said during the Infrastructure committee meeting last week. Shultz added that the airshow’s 5K run/ walk course has slightly changed this year. In the

past, the course followed the Gandy to Midtown Road. This year the 5K will start at the county hangar at the airport, then to Airport Road to the Gandy Dancer Trail. Then racers will go to a turnaround point and back to the county hangar. Airport manager Nate Ehalt said that fuel sales are “great” this year so far. “A lot of that is based off the Ambulance from North Memorial buying

fuel there,” Ehalt said. He explained to the committee that the ambulance purchases fuel from the airport. This is part of a contractual agreement that states they must buy their fuel from the county. “Our margins on that fuel is a couple of bucks a gallon,” Ehalt said. “Which is great, because they buy hundreds of gallons a month.”

Correction Last week the Sentinel ran a story titled “Clinic Served Papers.” This headline was oversimplified and misleading, the The Domestic Animal Wellness Center and Wildlife Rescue, Inc. was not served eviction papers. But the owner of the building was served the papers for not paying his back taxes. We regret the error and apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding it may have caused.

Fat kids deserve representation A few months ago, during our six-month winter, I wrote in this section that winter will always be better than summer. I stand by that statement as we enter the portion of the year with beautiful days and some that get up to 95 degrees. You may recall my reasoning for liking winter over summer is layers. One can continue putting on layers to stay warm in the winter. With zero layers on in the summer one will still be very hot. Those summer days, where it is seemingly too hot to function reminded me of one of the only books I ever fell in love with - “Holes” by Louis Sachar (the other books are the Harry Potter and Captain Underpants series.) Later on, they made it into a feature film, but more on that monstrosity later. Sentinel It was a book we were assigned to read in probably sixth grade. Editor The chapters were incredibly Jonathan Richie short, so it felt like the book was flying by. Here’s a quick synopsis of the book. Stanley Yelnats and his family have always been unlucky. One day Stanley gets charged for committing a crime and blames his family’s unluckiness. He is found guilty at his trial and is given the choice between serving time at a juvenile detention center or going to a ‘summer camp.’ What drew me into the book was that Stanley was a fat kid just like me. He was the main character, who in a way was just like me, a fat kid from a family that does not have the nicest of things or have the resources to go on fancy trips. Stanley came from a poor family, another relatable fact for me, and had never been to summer camp and thought it would be a lot of fun. But it turns out Camp Green Lake is owned by an insane person looking for lost treasure on a dried up lake. The kids at the camp wake up everyday and dig holes in the desert. Six feet deep by six feet wide are the dimensions of their holes and it’s easily measured since their shovels are six feet long. He shows up at camp, a bunch of character development happens and at the end of the book he’s proven innocent of the initial crime and is no longer a fat kid. He works so hard digging holes he loses a bunch of weight. Then Hollywood gets a hold of it. They cast a nonfat kid to play Stanley. They don’t pretend he’s fat, they simply gloss over what I believe to be the most foundational fact of the story. Fat kids deserve representation. My point is, it has been real hot lately and whenever the weather is like this I think back to the summer of seventh grade. I would go out in the hot sun and mow the lawn that summer and try desperately to have a story-book life like Stanley. But turns out I was just a run-of-the-mill fat kid who grew up to be a regular fat guy. Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com. See ya next week.

A golden moment I hope your summer is going well. As is the case with nearly every good thing in life, it slipping by far too quickly. I recently enjoyed an outing that I will cherish for a long time. For Father’s Day, my wife and daughters Lindsay and Madyi bought tickets to the James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt From the Publisher’s concert June 22 at the Xcel Energy Desk Center. I attended the concert with Tom Stangl my daughters and h d a great time. i had I began listening to James Taylor in high school and have nearly every recording he has produced. In my high school days, Taylor was a radio star, charting with numerous singles. My band instructor shared some of Taylor’s earlier recordings so I could hear where he began his career. For more than 40 years, Taylor has been a musical compass for his fans, articulating moments of pain and joy, and letting his listeners know that they are not alone. I realize it may not be fashionable to say you are a fan of Taylor. His music speaks to me as a man

even though it may be considered by some to be depressing or too easy listening. So be it, I really don’t care – I like his music. My wife and I saw Taylor 12 years ago when he toured without his band. The “One Man Band” tour featured Taylor with an accompanist on piano. It was a great evening with Taylor sharing stories about the songs he sang, using a screen to project images and movies from his computer. The concert last month was the polar opposite. Taylor had a large band and a LED screen that must have been 50 feet high that projected a dazzling array of images from old home movies to views of the audience. Raitt, back for her first performance since a health scare, put on a great show. I did not know that she recorded her first album at an abandoned bible camp on Lake Minnetonka. The night was all about the hits, and both artists had more than enough to fill their sets. Taylor has sold more than 100 million albums since he was first signed by the Beatles to their Apple Records label, and he has earned 40 gold, platinum, or multi-platinum awards. His Greatest Hits album alone sold more

than 10 million copies. My daughters were good sports about the evening, recalling how they had grown up with Raitt’s “Nick of Time” album playing on the cassette deck of our car and listening to Taylor’s various albums when I played the CDs in our minivan. In addition, they tolerated the off key singing of some nearby women old enough to be their mothers who had enjoyed some pre-show spirits. We had a good laugh about it on the way home. The evening reminded me of a James Taylor song, “Golden Moments.” The lyric of the song says, in part: “Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold/ And I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away/It all went for a good time and a song, come on/The laughter was like music, it did float my soul along for a while.” I think I’m pretty lucky to have my family.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

THE CAPITOL REPORT

by Patzy Wenthe

Marquette academic freedom decision could have broader impact WISPOLITICS.COM

The case of a Marquette University professor could have impact far beyond the Milwaukee campus. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, which handled the case for John McAdams, a conservative political science professor at Marquette, said universities everywhere should take notice. “All across the country, academic freedom is under assault on campuses. Universities are treating academic freedom as the right to say only what administrators or the loudest factions on campus approve of,” the group said after the state Supreme Court on July 6 found the private school improperly suspended him for a blog post targeting an instructor he accused of shutting down a debate over gay marriage in her classroom. “But …the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck a major blow in favor of free speech, delivering the unequivocal message that ‘academic freedom’ means just that,” WILL added. “Universities are free to create rules — even strict rules — about what their tenured professors can and cannot say publicly. What they cannot do is make up rules after the fact to punish a professor they want to get rid of.” Marquette University insisted the case was not about academic freedom and if McAdams had published “the same blog without the student-teacher’s name or contact information, he would not have been disciplined.” McAdams called that a “lie,” insisting he did not publish the student-teacher’s contact information, which he said was easily found through a Google search of Marquette’s site at the time of his post. He also knocked the university for blaming his decision to pass his blog post onto other media outlets for the threatening messages the student-teacher received. “How much does free speech mean if your speech can be limited by what someone else, someone the journalist or blogger doesn’t even know, does in response to accurate information?” he asked. The university, meanwhile,

said the court’s decision discarded “a contractually established disciplinary process.” It also said it can’t “undo the significant harm” to the student-teacher’s academic career but vowed to ensure “that this doesn’t happen to another student.” “To us, it was always clear that the professor’s behavior crossed the line,” the university said, adding, “Academic freedom must include responsibility.” A university spokesman says Marquette expects McAdams to return to the classroom. The political science professor said since he last taught in the Fall 2014 semester, he has finished a book and secured a publisher for his next one. He said it might be too late to be added to this fall semester’s schedule but expected to be in the classroom again soon. He said allowing Marquette to prevail would have opened the door to other higher ed institutions taking similar steps to limit academic freedom. “If Marquette can weasel out of First Amendment protections, then so can other institutions,” McAdams said. In its decision, the court rested its decision on principles of academic freedom and what Justice Daniel Kelly describes as a “structurally biased” process for settling employment disputes, the Faculty Hearing Committee. “The undisputed facts show that the University breached its contract with Dr. (John) McAdams when it suspended him for engaging in activity protected by the contract’s guarantee of academic freedom,” Kelly wrote. Beyond restoring political science professor McAdams’ employment at Marquette “with unimpaired rank, tenure, compensation, and benefits,” the high court also authorized further action to award the professor back pay. Kelly, joined by three other conservative justices, overturned a circuit court’s decision that deferred to Marquette’s tribunal in deciding McAdams’ employment dispute. Justices Ann Walsh Bradley and Shirley Abrahamson dissented, while Justice Annette Ziegler did not participate in the case. Marquette had suspended

McAdams after he wrote a blog post calling out a teaching assistant for an exchange in her ethics class where she told a student some topics — specifically gay rights — are not up for debate and “some opinions are not appropriate, such as racist opinions, sexist opinions.” The teaching assistant later complained she received threatening online messages stemming from the blog post and filed a formal complaint against McAdams. She left Marquette to attend the University of Colorado. McAdams was initially suspended in December 2014, and he sued Marquette for breach of contract in 2016. Kelly, in an unusual move, also authored a concurring opinion to his lead decision in which he slammed Marquette for suggesting its faculty committee was an adequate means to sort through the McAdams dispute. He equated the committee, comprised of seven faculty members, as a vehicle for Marquette to be its own judge. He also noted one of its members before joining the committee wrote a blog post denouncing McAdams, suggesting it was a biased process. Liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley argued the court disrespected “the time-honored and bargained-for shared governance procedures” by bypassing the Faculty Hearing Committee, and could jeopardize “institutional academic freedom” and shared governance at other universities. “Apparently, the majority thinks it is in a better position to address concerns of academic freedom than a group of tenured faculty members who live the doctrine every day,” Bradley wrote in a dissent joined by Abrahamson.

ASSOCIATED PRESS State conﬁrms ﬁrst Rocky Mountain spotted fever death MADISON—Health officials are confirming Wisconsin’s first documented death from Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The state Department of Health Services announced Tuesday the tick-borne disease has killed a La Crosse woman. Jo Foellimi, a La Crosse County public health nurse, says the woman was bitten while camping in western Wisconsin in early May. The woman was diagnosed with RMSF in mid-June and died days later. Foellimi says the woman was in her late 50s but declined to identify her. RMSF is spread by the American dog tick. The disease is typically found in the central and southeastern United States and rarely reported in Wisconsin. Fellimi says the dog tick is less active in summer but people should still use repellant, avoid tall grass and check themselves for ticks.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

JULY 18, 2018 www.burnettcountysentinel.com

Candidate proﬁle: Tracy Finch Tell the readers a little bit about yourself - education, family, hobbies, etc. (limit to 200 words) I am Tracy Finch, the Independent Candidate for Burnett County Sheriff. I was born and raised in Burnett County, and graduated from Grantsburg High School. I still make my home in Grantsburg. My education continued at Chippewa Valley Technical College where I gained certification as a law enforcement officer. My daughter was born, raised and continues to live in this community. Although law enforcement takes up much of my time, I enjoy giving back to Burnett County. I am a member of the Burnett County Drug and Alcohol Court Team, doing what we can to help people to not re-offend. While the Women of the Moose was active I was a member, taking part in various programs for children including Trunk or Treat and Christmas parties. I also helped organize proms for people with special needs. I enjoy volunteering and helping people. During my free time I love to spend time with family and friends along with reading, fishing and watching football. Most of all, I really enjoy helping people through my work at the Sheriff’s Department, whether by arresting a criminal, working out the details of a crime or just helping someone stranded on the road. • My law enforcement career began in 1989 working as Burnett County Dispatcher and Jail Officer. I received certification as a jail officer following completion of Wisconsin Jail Officer Training. To further my career and my community I attended Chippewa Valley Technical College Basic Law Enforcement Training and was hired as Burnett County’s first full-time female Deputy Sheriff. • While working patrol, I was able to attend many training courses which furthered my skills in not only patrol, but also investigations. This helped me to be promoted to Detective in 2000. • Since that time I have received specialized training in all types of investigation including homicide, drugs, child abuse, white collar and property crimes. I am a big believer in continuing education for law enforcement officers. • I have served on the Wisconsin Association of Homicide Investigators Board of Directors. • I have put my training to use. Among the many drug cases I’ve investigated, one lengthy case involved federal indictments of 27 individuals. I was named Wisconsin Narcotics Officer of the Year in 2011. • Working closely with other law enforcement agencies is a must in Northern Wisconsin. I have worked closely with local Police Departments, neighboring Sheriff’s Departments, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension along with several federal agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. • I have worked sensitive crimes for 18 years, including crimes against children, sexual assaults

and violent crimes. As a trained homicide detective, I have worked most if not all the homicides that have occurred in that time and specialize in complex cases. As the Officer in Charge, I have directed operations from crime scenes to case investigation and management as well as overall operations of the Sheriff’s Department. As an active member of our previous SWAT team, I served in most roles from negotiations to entry. I have also served as Incident Command during natural disasters and missing person cases.

Why are you running for Sheriff? (limit to 200 words) I am running for Sheriff because I am prepared and experienced enough to fill the big shoes that this job requires. In my 29 years of law enforcement experience I have become a leader of our department. I have gained the respect of my coworkers, other local Police Departments and Sheriff’s Departments. I have the training and experience to handle any law enforcement issue including the budget - and to administrate the multiple facets that the Sheriff’s Department employs. I have experience and knowledge of the jail and dispatching from my time working as a jailer/dispatcher. I am running as an Independent candidate to keep politics out of the Sheriff’s Department. I am a firm believer that law enforcement’s role is to be fair, impartial and enforce laws with integrity. I have seen the crime rate in this county rise due to a severe drug problem. As Sheriff, I plan on implementing a drug enforcement task force. Local police will have an increased role. I want to increase the respect for law enforcement and clean up the drugs that lead to heavy property crime. As a sensitive crimes detective, I know how important it is to keep our children safe. What are the biggest issues facing law enforcement in

Burnett County and how would you address them (limit to 400 words) The biggest issues for law enforcement In Burnett County start with drugs. As an experienced narcotics detective, I know what it takes to investigate and prosecute a large drug ring. The methamphetamine and heroin epidemic in Burnett County has led to numerous deaths and approximately $500,000.00 per year in property loss. The money loss continues with approximately $70,000.00 per month spent in out of home housing for children of drug addicted parents. I plan on implementing a drug enforcement task force with a full-time drug detective. This type of job takes a full-time effort and the proper training and resources to fulfill the requirements of the occupation. I would also like to change the recruitment process for new employees. Burnett County deserves the best employees dedicated to the community. Law enforcement in Wisconsin and this country is in a state of emergency trying to get properly qualified people to do the job. I want to see more community oriented policing. Taxpayers should know the officers that serve them. I want deputies to be active within the community with volunteering efforts. Police are real people. When the community knows them better as people, we become far more effective in enforcing the laws. There are several efforts that are currently in place. I want to continue the K9 program with the proper resources. I want to continue our relationship with Social Services to better protect the children of Burnett County. Not all relationships have been the best. I want to use my experience to repair the relationships with local police departments, state law enforcement, federal law enforcement and the other county departments. The relationship with the County Administration needs to be more effective to serve the citizens. The various groups in Burnett County all deserve respect and attention. I plan on being available to all groups to discuss and assist with problems and concerns. Finally, I plan on changing some of the structure of the Sheriff’s Department. We are not a large agency and money is always tight. I want to do more with less. Cross training deputies to do multiple jobs saves the county a lot of money. Each deputy will be trained in multiple facets to be able to serve citizens in many ways for the same cost.

Mark and Teresa were very ambitious in their hopes of setting up community events to the point where Weiss asked them about using the fairgrounds to hold the bigger events. “What about at the fairgrounds?” Weiss asked. “We have it in the village. We’ve got it insured, there’s the pavilion and plenty of parking.” The Thoms were open to the idea and began asking about charging for concessions and other details. “Let’s set up a property committee,” Mahoney said. “Then we’ll include you in the discussion to go over your thoughts and discuss this to figure this out.” Mahoney added he was worried about people saying they are running a business out of their home and wants to make sure the village is out in front of that possible issue.

WEBSTER––After a lengthy discussion on golf carts last week, the Webster Village Board has decided to write an ordinance allowing golf carts on village roads. The ordinance will be written in the next month and presented for a vote at next month’s meeting on Aug. 8. Trustee’s discussed the ordinance with Police Chief Stephenie Wedin. They came to the conclusion that golf carts must have a slow-moving vehicle sticker, they must keep the factory equipment and must stay off the sidewalk. Golf carts with factory equipment have a maximum speed of 15 mph. Initially, the board said the golf cart operators would need a valid driver’s license. Multiple trustees brought up the point that if a person cannot drive a car why should they be driving a golf cart. Webster Village Clerk/Treasurer Debra Doriott-Kuhnly said the village office is consistently receiving phone calls on a weekly basis about allowing golf carts on the roads for people who can no longer obtain a driver’s license. She received a call from the wife of a man who can no longer drive and was injured walking on the streets. He was apparently on his way to buy groceries. The board then voted that the operators did not have to have a driver’s license, but did need to be over the age of 18 to operate golf carts on the road. Weiss said that the village may need to change the ordinance if issues arise in the future. The discussion began at the June

meeting when Kevin Janssen came to the meeting to inquire about possibly opening up the roads for golf carts. At that meeting the board discussed possible traffic issues which were not discussed at the July meeting. “We have to Webster-ize it for the village,” Village President Jeff Roberts said of the ordinance. “Then we’ll vote on it next month.”

Pizza for my dear Pops I have not been myself lately. My father, Pops, passed away a couple weeks ago, and it seems like everywhere I go or everything I do reminds me of him. I miss his crazy attitude and fun disposition, but most of all I miss eating pizza with him. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t be reading this today. Pops loved to bake and cook. He also loved Wild Chow to eat at fine restaurants or a dive. He Lisa Erickson didn’t care if it was filet i i mignon, pizza or a bag of Cheetos—he knew what he liked and the way he raved about what he was eating made you want some, too. I recall when I was about five or six, my sister and I eagerly anticipated his arrival home from work with groceries. He loved to bring home cheeses from around the world with lavosh crackers as big as our heads. He would buy vegetables that we had never seen before. On the best days, he would bring imported cookies “biscuits” or chocolates from France, England or Belgium. My favorite food adventures with Pops were when we went out to our favorite pizza place or when we tried a new spot. I especially loved when my family made pizza on the grill. As my dad’s health and mind went the last few months, the only things he connected with were food—especially pizza. Not long ago, my siblings and I thought it would be a good idea to bake his favorite pizza at the nursing home. Disaster! The grease dripped in the oven, and smoke poured out. Mortified, we removed the pizza quickly, but dropped it onto the oven door. The smoke alarm went off, and the whole nursing home was in an uproar—not Dad. He sat at the table happily eating his pizza. I miss him and his crazy love for all things food. I’m so glad he appreciated the small things in life like pizza. Thanks, Pops, for giving me a love and appreciation for food and pizza. I’ll stick to grilling pizza outside, Pops—no more kitchen disasters. No wonder you and Mom cooked it on the grill.

Summer Grilled Pizza Serves 6-8; 2 pizzas Crust 3 cups bread flour 1 1/2 cups warm water 2 Tbsp sugar 1 Tbsp onion powder 1 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp instant yeast Optional toppings 1 can pizza sauce 2-4 cups of Mozzarella cheese sausage pepperoni onions, sliced or diced green bell pepper, chopped olives, black or green In a mixer** with a dough hook, place all ingredients for crust. Mix on low until combined. Let dough rest for 2 minutes. Mix for 6 minutes at low speed until dough is shiny and smooth. The dough will be sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough raise for 4560 minutes until double in size. Place a pizza stone on the grill and preheat grill to 500 degrees or higher—about 10-15 minutes. Punch dough down, and cover again while you gather pizza toppings. Generously sprinkle the counter top with flour. Dive dough in two. Roll out each crust with a rolling pin into a 14-inch circle. Generously sprinkle a rimless cookie sheet with 1-2 Tbsp cornmeal to prevent dough from sticking. Place dough on cornmeal. Spread sauce and pizza ingredients. Carefully slide the pizza onto the grill and close the cover. Check pizza bottom frequently and rotate if one side is cooking faster than the other. Remove with the cookie sheet and bake other pizza. **If not using a mixer, mix all the dough ingredients with a large spoon. Turn dough onto a counter sprinkled with flour. Knead the dough by pressing down and turning and folding the dough over on itself with the heel of your hand for 8 minutes. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Return dough to bowl and let raise. Proceed with the recipe.

Wisconsin cranberry, tart cherry production declines MADISON—Wisconsin apple growers had a productive year in 2017, but cranberry and tart cherry producers faced more challenges. Recent data from the National Agricultural Statistics Service found apple production increased almost 20 percent in the state between 2016 and 2017, Wisconsin Public Radio reported. The 2017 spring weather helped apple growers recover, producing 49 million pounds (22 million kilograms) of apples, said Amaya Atucha, a fruit crop specialist for the University of Wisconsin-Extension. Production could continue to rise this year, she said. “A lot of the orchards are going through the process of renovation and changing their production systems to a more high-density system, which are much more productive,” Atucha said. But Wisconsin produced 12 percent fewer barrels of cranberries last year than in 2016. The state’s tart cherries also saw a 17 percent decline. Production levels dropped due to a 2016 spring frost, Atucha said. Cherry producers in Wisconsin and across the U.S. are also battling an invasive pest called the spotted wing drosophila, she said. Cranberry prices have been below the cost of production, which has led many growers to upgrade their beds, Atucha said. “Some of the growers are taking out of production older varieties and that basically means that, by renewing, you have a couple of years where you don’t have any production,” Atucha said.

TOWN OF RUSK—The NW Wisconsin Graziers Network and UW-Extension invite you to our July pasture walk of the 2018 grazing season. Hosts Dave and Veronica Fogerty operate a grass-based bison ranch of about 200 acres west of Spooner on Rolling Green Road. Come see the extensive high-tensile fencing and handling facility needed for working with bison along with honey bees for pollinating plants and a gravity-flow, off-grid, central water system. These and other topics will be discussed as well as answering any and all questions from pasture walk participants. Dave rotationally grazes 90 head of bison. Silvopastures developed several years ago from aspen, birch and hardwood forestland have benefited from bison grazing and browsing. In the past, Dave has used alfalfa and orchard grass, winter rye and sudan grass as part of his forage program. He is currently experimenting with teff and forage crab grasses, kura clover, bluestem and switch grasses. On-farm research trials are Dave’s specialty. The farm is located at 2473 Rolling Green Road, Spooner. From Spooner, take Hwy 70 west about 10 miles, turn right (north) onto County H, go one mile then turn left (west) on Rolling Green Road. It is one mile to the farm on the left. Watch for the signs. For more information, contact Dave at 715-416-0000, Kevin Schoessow, UW-Extension, Spooner office at 715-635-3506, or Lynn Johnson 715-268-8778 at NW Graziers.

WEBSTER––The Webster School Board approved new wording to their student handbook for the 2018-19 school year. They also approved and discussed other paperwork for the upcoming school year. Webster Superintendent Jim Erickson said the language on some of the pages were changed because of concerns raised by principals. “It includes rules such as, ‘once you leave the building you can’t come back in for sporting events,’” Erickson explained Also added to the handbook is an explanation on bullying that states, “there is a difference between conflict and bullying. Bullying is repeated behavior that is not isolated to a specific occurrence or thing.” The handbook also addresses rules on carrying bags in the school as well as headwear and appropriate clothing for school.

In other items: • The Board approved renewing their WIAA membership for the 2018-19 school year. • They also voted to consider student insurance, an audit contract and health insurance renewal for the 2018-19 school year. Erickson attempted to explain the complexities and intricacies of the health insurance renewal and promised the board, “I’ll work on the wording so it makes sense at the all-staff meeting.”

League of Women Voters of Wisconsin launches Voter Guide for Aug. 14 primary MADISON— The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin announces the launch of the nonpartisan voter guide, VOTE411. org. This online resource provides information for the statewide elections to help Wisconsin voters navigate the voting process for the Aug. 14 primary. VOTE411.org provides candidate information, voter registration tools, polling place information, and other helpful Election Day information. “VOTE411.org provides voters in Wisconsin with simple, helpful tools to help them understand who is running for office and where the candidates stand on issues important to them,” said Eileen Newcomer, LWV WI Voter Education Coordinator. “VOTE411.

org is the nation’s premiere online election resource where more than 20,000 Wisconsin voters get their candidate information before going to the polls. The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin added our voter’s guide to VOTE411.org so that it can serve as a resource for all of Wisconsin’s voters as they make these important election decisions.” The League recommends that voters consult reliable, nonpartisan sources of information- such as VOTE411.org - as well as the candidates’ own websites and materials. The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin sent a questionnaire to 385 candidates in the fall elections running for Governor, Lt. Gover-

nor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, U.S. Senator, Representative in Congress, State Senator (odd-numbered districts), and Representative to the Assembly (all districts). The League called on the candidates to state their positions on a range of issues. Each candidate’s responses are posted verbatim, so voters get the candidate’s information in the candidate’s own words. Candidates who do not respond are marked “No candidate response” in the voter guide. After the Primary, the League will take down the voter guide and publish it again in late August with the answers of all candidates whose names will be on the Nov. 6 ballot.

On any given day, there are over 5,000 people in Wisconsin without a place to call home. They are sleeping in shelters, in caves and in storage units. Some may be sleeping in transitional living projects. Nevertheless, all lack a safe, stable, and permanent home. While we all know there is a significant homeless community, there are multiple misconceptions about that population. The first misconception is about the homeless people’s make up. When we think of a homeless person, we often think of a single adult. However, homelessness affects families and youth as well. Almost half (47.4 percent) of the people experiencing homelessness in Wisconsin are families with minor children. The second misconception is about homeless people’s location. Often, we think that homeless people are confined to cities and highly populated areas. However, this is not the case. Homelessness is a statewide issue, affecting every county in Wisconsin. A 2017 count in Wisconsin revealed 67 percent of homeless people reside in rural counties in Wisconsin. Rural communities struggle to help the homeless due to lack of transportation and a limited presence of emergency shelters. Thankfully, the state of Wisconsin is constantly trying to combat this issue. In rural Wisconsin, there are many unique partnerships to assist homeless families in providing housing as well as skills to move them out of poverty. Locally, in Burnett County, the homeless are served by Faith House Shelter in Siren. Last year, Faith House provided over 3,000 nights of peaceful sleep to the homeless in Burnett County. To learn more about our local homeless shelter and the programs Faith House offers, please visit www.safaithhouse.org or follow them on Facebook at Burnett County Salvation Army.

Clarification: Some of the information printed in last week’s Healthy Minute was misleading and incorrect. Front-facing car seats are not referred to as booster seats. Car seats with harnesses can be rear and forward facing. It is recommended that children are kept rear-facing as long as possible. After that, they should ride in a forward-facing five-point harness until they reach the weight or height limit of the seat. Most seats go up to 40 pounds and some even go up to 60 pounds or more. Even though the law states they can graduate to a booster at 40 pounds and 4 years of age, it is important to look at their maturity and how a booster fits them.

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

HSBC has a couple of youngsters that are looking forward to doing fun things with their new families. Once their new families show up, that is. Candidate One a handsome young fellow who iis still an enthusiastic p puppy! Kevin is a Siberia an Husky mix with black a and white fur and dichrom matic eyes (one brown, o one blue), and he is a about 50 fluffy pounds of h happiness. Kevin learns q quickly, and once he k knows how he is supposed tto act, he does great. K Kevin is getting used to Kevin other dogs and joining in on some playgroups. He is good with kids and would appreciate little people of his own to pal around with. Kevin has a lot of energy and would do best in an active household with regular exercise. Maybe you could learn some new activities together (skijoring, anyone?). Our second choice (only in order, and by no means by value) is May. May is a very sweet and energetic young girl with a whole lot of love to give. She is a leggy and slim American Staffordshire Terrier mix and is about 45 pounds with white and chocolate brown fur. May is excited about life and sometimes gets a bit exuberant. She is great with people of all sizes, but those with small children should probably spend some time with her to see if she is right for your house. May is currently May learning to play with other dogs, and she is happy and social. She sometimes forgets her to be gentle but takes easily to direction and likes to learn. As with all youngsters, she needs some training, but it should be easy to help May become a good canine citizen. If you are still considering being a foster family, now would be a wonderful time to contact HSBC. The shelter is currently looking for foster homes for two pregnant cats to give them a calm, stable environment to get their babies ready for forever homes. HSBC also has a surrendered eight-yearold red-nose Staffordshire Terrier mix who is depressed by shelter life. A break from the noise and bustle may help break this girl out of her funk. If you have a temporary place for these ladies, contact Amy during public hours. Just a reminder: things happen quick at HSBC. Pets mentioned above may or may not still be available. Make sure to call to check if they are still in need before visiting. Although if these ones are happily homed, there are always more waiting for you to meet them!

Documentary detailing evidence of biblical Exodus to be shown in Siren JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

It was a 12 year process that all began with, “Is the Bible true?” Was there really a mass exodus out of Egypt as described in the first book of the Bible? On Saturday July 28 the Siren School Auditorium will show the documentary film “Patterns of Evidence:Exodus.” It will also be shown the following Sunday afternoon. Both viewings are free and open to the public and will be followed by a question and answer session with the filmmaker Tim Mahoney. “Patterns of Evidence:Exodus” was released in 2014, it was entered in many film festivals and won a few of them. It was released to the general public in January of 2015 and opened in 650 theaters selling over 82,000 tickets. Soon after that, it was added to Netflix and Mahoney said it

went “worldwide” and any and everyone had a chance to view what he had spent so much time on. Mahoney was making television commercials in the 90s and into the new millennium when he realized he wanted to do more “weighty topics” and was soon invited to Egypt. “It’s hard to become a filmmaker,” Mahoney said. “I was following my passion.” In 2002 he took his first trip to Egypt, when he was invited to search for evidence of the Exodus in the Red Sea. “That’s where it all began, on the first trip near the Sinai peninsula, searching for biblical evidence,” Mahoney said. Mahoney believes historians and mainstream scholars have ignored these patterns because it does not follow the exact timeline of the Bible. One example of this is the ancient city of Ramsesses in Egypt. The location is referenced in the Bible and states it

was built in 1250 B.C. Given that time period historians could not find evidence of the exodus based on the Bible’s time period. He said the film dives into this topic and attempts to explain how historians overlook the patterns. While making the film he did most of the work at his home in Minneapolis, but took a plethora of trips to Europe and the Middle East to interview Egyptologists, historians, ancient architect specialists and other various experts. He made sure to interview religious believers and non-believers. “We don’t really dig deep into the theology of the Bible in the film. It’s more of a historical documentary to be honest,” Mahoney said. “We do reference the Bible and present scripture and cinematic recreations of certain verses, but it’s mainly looking at it from a historical perspective.” The film was funded by a group of investors which

Israeli archaeologist Israel Finkelstein (right) told Timothy Mahoney, “The Exodus did not happen as written in the Bible during the 13th century BC.”

allowed him to make these trips to England to speak with Egyptologists at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. He even went to Israel to interview Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Mahoney hinted that Netflix may be interested in turning the film into an animated series because, “people keep telling me Ancient Egypt and the Bible are real hot topics right now.” Along with the film showings there will be a Pastor’s Breakfast Buffet at Tesora the morning of July 28. People can

come and meet Mahoney and ask questions about the film. To RSVP for the breakfast contact billandleesashultz@hotmail. com. Mahoney says he prefers small towns over big cities and has been through Siren so many times he felt it was the perfect place to begin showing the film in this type of setting. “I’m hoping skeptics come. That’s the main reason we’re showing it at the school,” Mahoney said. “It’s exciting showing the film to an entire community.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS DNR wants to open 35 miles of forest road for hunting access MADISON—The state Department of Natural Resources wants to open up 35 miles of existing roads in the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest to motor vehicles to improve access for hunters. The agency wants to open up the roads from Sept. 1 to the last day of the December four-day antlerless gun season, which falls on Dec. 9 this year. None of the roads connect to all-terrain vehicle trails so those vehicles wouldn’t be allowed. The roads would open in two phases — 21 miles this Sept. 1 and 14 miles in 2019. The DNR will take public comments on the proposal online through July 23.

Goats used to combat invasive plant species ST. PAUL, Minn.—Businesses in Minnesota and Wisconsin are using flocks of goats to combat invasive plant species. The Pioneer Press reports that a goat services listing website run by Allysse and Dan Sorenson of Wisconsin lists five goats-for-hire businesses in Minnesota and central Wisconsin. The Sorensons manage 115 goats to combat invasive plant species with the animal’s appetite rather than with chemicals or machinery. The couple established their business in 2015 after seeing a similar concept in Sweden. James Langeslag manages 275 goats for his business, Goat Dispatch, in Minnesota. Goat Dispatch specializes in urban areas, where ordinances were initially an obstacle.

Wisconsin reaction to Trump court pick breaks on party lines MADISON—Reaction to President Donald Trump’s pick for the next U.S. Supreme Court justice is breaking along partisan lines in Wisconsin. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson says he looks forward to a quick approval of Trump’s nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Johnson says it appears Kavanaugh is a judge who applies the Constitution “as written, not altering it to reach a result.” But Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin is sounding warnings without saying yet whether she will vote to confirm Kavanaugh. She says in a statement that “People need an independent justice who will not overturn the law of the land on women’s health, health care for people with pre-existing conditions, and the constitutional rights and freedoms of all Americans.” Baldwin says that is what she will be considering as she reviews the nomination.

National High School Trap Shooting competition held

The USA High School Clay Target League(USAHSCTL) held its inaugural year for the National Championship last weekend in Mason, Michigan. It featured a trap shooting competition for the highest-qualifying student athletes and teams throughout all affiliated state high school clay target leagues in the nation. Over 2,000 student athletes represented their schools in the unique event, and over 5,000 spectators and dozens of exhibitors were expected to also attended. Mason, Michigan is just 20 miles south of Lansing, Michigan, and the facility features 44 trap fields, along with a large clubhouse, RV and camping areas, and beautiful natural scenery. “We have been working on a national championship ever since we started expanding to other states beyond Minnesota in 2014.” Jim Sable, the founder and president of the USAHSCTL, said. “Now that we are

about drugs?

The sooner the better. Kids who have discussed drugs with a guardian are half as likely to use drugs David Lang, MD compared to those who didn’t. At any age a discussion can be made so don’t wait, do it today! Take advantage of “teachable moments” such as using the media as a conversation starter. For example, if someone on TV has a cigarette, talk about the harms of smoking and use terms your child can understand. Ask questions in a nonjudgmental, open-ended way such as, “What do you think about drugs?”. For teens, inform them about the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Talk about the legal issues, jail time and fines, and the possibility that they or someone else might be killed or seriously injured. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

Josh Prusinski, CFP protect your older relatives? For one thing, encourage them to have all checks, Financial Advisor such as Social Security, directly deposited into their checking or savings accounts. You might try to get your name on those accounts, too, if your older family members are willing. You’ll be able to review statements for suspicious activity. You might also get your loved ones on a “do not call” list, which can offer some protection against telephone scammers. Be careful when hiring caretakers for your loved ones. Insist on references, and check them out. Be suspicious of caretakers who show a great interest in your loved ones’ financial affairs. Here’s another suggestion: Consider asking your older family members for power of attorney. This can help you closely monitor their financial moves now - and if they ever become incapacitated, you can make financial decisions for them. You have the power to help safeguard your loved ones’ financial security, so be alert and make the right moves.

Installed geothermal systems range from Jerry Sand $16,000 to $30,000 depending on house size and the efficiency of the unit you choose. 30% federal tax credits can reduce system costs to $11,500 to 21,500. (Ductwork not included.) Some electric utilities also provide rebates. Paybacks range from 6 to 12 years, depending on your current fuel. A propane user can save twice as much as a natural gas user. Annual heating savings can be $600 to $2100. Air conditioning costs are reduced 40-50%. Domestic hot water savings can be $150 to $400 per year. Life expectancies of furnaces and air conditioners are 15-17 years. Life expectancies of geothermal heat pumps are 23 years. Geothermal ground loops last 50-100 years, so you only buy them once.

INSURANCE ADVICE

Q. My family and my spouses in home

Concrete maintenance is generally overlooked. Nick Hughes Sealing your exterior concrete and garage floors every year will add years of service to your investment. High gloss sealers are a great choice for decorative stamped or colored concrete. This sealer will give your concrete that shiny “wet” look and really make your concrete shine. Your exterior concrete should be sealed with a siloxane based sealer. This type of sealer works great for garage floors or anything that could come in contact with road chemicals or road salt. A siloxane based sealer will create a water proof barrier on your concrete and will help protect your concrete from chemicals that will attack your concrete causing premature wear and flaking or your concrete surface.

caregivers are advising to place my spouse in a nursing home. I am worried I’ll lose everything we have to pay for it.

Q. I would like to put a wood stove in

James Torgerson, Sr. Administrator

A. No, you will not lose everything to pay for your spouse’s nursing home bill. My first advise to you is contact a trusted attorney, or an attorney who specializes in elder care to learn your rights. I have spoken to many families over the years about this. WI has rather liberal impoverished spouse laws that will help you. However, some assets (more liquid) may be required to pay your spouse’s bills. After a person “spends down” (with allowable assets held by you) as we call it. to $2,000 or less your spouse will be covered under the Medicaid program. I have seen marvelous things happen to those who plan with an attorney, it is well worth the consultation.

Teeth become darker from external and internal color changes. External stains are caused by certain foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine), as well as tobacco products. External stains can often be removed with a good professional cleaning. Internal color changes are caused by the inside dentin layer of the tooth becoming darker and thicker as we age. To improve internal changes, over the counter whitening strips or professional whitening at a dental office is necessary.

Buying a home is a lot like shopping for Len Chute cars. You need to determine how much you can comfortably afford. I would always recommend calling a local lender or mortgage consultant and they can discuss with you your options. Once you know a price range, then you need to determine what will fit you best for your price, whether it be the location or number of bedrooms needed. The most important step to take is to get qualified and then talk to your local realtor who will help you fit your needs and help protect you on your investment. 24157 State Road 35/70 N Siren, Wisconsin 54872 715-349-7035 • Toll Free: 888-339-3560 • Fax: 715-349-5836 Email: questions.siren@edinarealty.com

my garage. Is there an insurance problem with that? How do insurance companies handle such claims? Gary Nelson Most likely yes. Most insurance companies do not approve of a wood stove in a garage for a variety of reasons. One of those is the increased chance for a fire started by fumes from gasoline cans or chemicals, or an incident of a spilled gasoline can or flammable material. Another is that a roaring fire can be started to heat a garage and then, when the owner is done doing his garage work, he leaves the garage to go back inside the home while the fire in the stove isn’t monitored. It is getting harder to find a company that finds a wood stove acceptable in a garage. You’re better off with a more safe type of heat.

FURNITURE ADVICE

Q. What should I look for when

purchasing outdoor furniture for my deck or patio? Jake Jensen A. When looking at purchasing new outdoor furniture, not all furniture is created equal. For poly-lawn furniture, you should make sure that the boards are thick enough not to warp and that the frame is held together with stainless steel bolts or aluminum bracing to avoid any rusting or deterioration; Creekside poly-lawn furniture is durable enough to sit outside all year long and still remain maintenance free. A simple sling chair can also add durability by ensuring that the frame is primed and powder coated; Homecrest Outdoor Furniture features a double sling for added support, longevity and comfort as well as outdoor firepit tables and modern deep seating. Jensen Furniture offers Creekside, Homecrest, and Lloyd Flanders woven outdoor furniture. Purchase your last outdoor furniture set first at Jensen Furniture.

Sen. Johnson downplays Russian threat to elections MADISON—Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is downplaying the threat Russia poses to U.S. elections, saying “these are not the greatest threats to our democracy.” Johnson was part of a contingent of senators who met with Russian officials in Russia last week. He told reporters Tuesday that over half of their fivehour discussion focused on Russia’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. elections. Johnson says Russian interference is “unaccept-

able” and “serious,” but “when you look at threats to this nation I look at much larger threats.” He says U.S. elections are very difficult to hack and remain secure, while Russia’s interference on social media in 2016 was minimal. Johnson has been critical of Senate sanctions against Russia, saying they have been ineffective and don’t leave President Donald Trump with enough negotiating room on other issues.

NATURAL CONNECTIONS

Masters in mud EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR, THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Many hands helped push, pull, and stabilize the hollow metal pipe and its plunger until a cylinder of mud extruded from the far end like a gritty line of decorative frosting. A slick coating of soupy mud had spewed out of the equipment as we lifted it from the water and now obscured the outer surface of the sediment core from the eager eyes of six geologists crowding into the tiny inflatable boat. Once the sediment core was safely cradled in a custom-cut length of black plastic pipe, Annie Wong—who is working toward her masters in Paleoenvironmental Sciences at Northern Arizona University—whipped a knife out of one of her many useful pockets and began scraping away the goop. Striking dark and light stripes appeared in the core. We oohed and aahed. Like tree rings, these patterns record past events. Floods, droughts,

fires, phytoplankton, algae, invading forests, and drifting pollen all leave their marks in the bottom of lakes. Scientists use a variety of methods to drill down into them and pull up layers upon layers of history. For example, by aging the layers and identifying pollen contained within them, the striped core can be transformed into a story of plants recolonizing land as the glaciers melted back. That study captured my imagination years ago, and I’ve been curious about the process of sediment coring ever since. Through a series of friends and connections, I was allowed to tag along with this crew of four female geologists for almost a full week as they took sediment cores in Kelly Lake on the Kenai Peninsula. When I interviewed Abby Boak, a Junior at Mount Holyoke College about the field work, she echoed my sentiments exactly: “During class we don’t talk about HOW they come to the conclusions. I like seeing the process of how we discov-

er things.” The HOW seems to be filled with odd tools, complicated procedures, and dirty hands. Emmy Wrobleski—a Senior at Mount Holyoke College—used a paper towel to wipe goose poop (the crew’s nickname for the soupy mud) off the core’s housing. Annie fit the matching half of the black plastic pipe over the striped cylinder of sediments and sealed the seams and caps with bright red tape. Abby helped Ellie Broadman dismantle the rest of the coring gear so we could motor back to the landing for lunch. Ellie, who is working on her PhD in paleoecology at Northern Arizona University, had just recently taken charge of this crew. It was incredible to watch them work as a team. For the past 10 days they’d been doing sediment cores at a remote lake accompanied by their professors, Darrell Kaufman, Scott Anderson, and Al Werner. Now the guys had flown home and the girls were on their own. We did have one male on the crew –Ed Berg is a retired ecologist and geologist from the surrounding Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, and he’s friends with the girls’ professors. He offered valuable experience and local knowledge, while being perceptive enough to realize that they didn’t need him to be a loud leader. The girls shifted seamlessly between problem solving, joking, positive reinforcement, and nerdy science conversations. Ellie often had her hands full of either metal or mud, so Annie would feed her pieces of Luna Bars. Annie—her face flexing frequently from goofy grins to intense focus—seemed to thrive on

problem solving and the mechanical processes of coring. “It’s fun to think about problems on your feet,” she told me, “and we get to use lots of hardware and fun toys.” Just before starting graduate school, Annie was working at an afterschool program in Oakland, California. The kids were devastated that she was leaving, even after she told them she’d be getting a Masters in Mud. As the crew leader, Ellie checked in regularly about people’s comfort and hunger levels, delegated tasks, gave calm instructions, and talked through procedures out loud so that the whole team could help guard against mistakes. Even after a long, cold, wet morning of sampling, and a jostled sample, the sharpest words I heard her utter were “I need to eat something.” “It’s hard to be in

charge,” I overheard Ellie say earlier. She’d just called off their first day of sampling because the wind had come up and whitecaps tossed the coring raft dangerously. Not only would the crew be in danger of injury and seasickness, but expensive tools could be lost, the equipment broken, and the cores just would not turn out as well. “This is the first time I’ve been the point person for coring,” she explained later. “It’s nice that Darrell, Scott, and Al trust me enough to leave me in charge of their equipment. Darrell had been encouraging me to make decisions because it’s my PhD work, but it’s still different without him here.” Different indeed. The dynamics of this female-led crew were fantastic. The is adventure felt like a combination of my childhood playing in the dirt, my experiences

with high ropes challenge courses, an Outward Bound expedition, and my own graduate school years. These girls deftly faced mental challenges, physical difficulties, and a constant stream of odd problems with a significant level of joy. . . .all while gathering important data that will add to the picture scientists are constructing about past climate, weather, erosion, and life. Science is fun when you are learning to be Masters of Mud. *For more photos and explanations of their work, visit my blog! They used three types of cores and many odd tools, and all of them are looking into interesting research questions. Emily is in Alaska for the summer!

quirements in WPDES Permit WI-0060429-08-0, this announcement serves as a PUBLIC NOTIFICATION of a sanitary sewer overflow event occurring July 12, 2018. The overflow occurred at approximately 12:30PM at the Memory Park Lift Station. This overflow was due to excessive amount of rainfall in a short period of time along with a pump not pumping at full capacity. The situation was addressed immediately resulting in only a minimal overflow of untreated sewage. The minimal overflow reached the Wood River, which was subsequently quickly diluted. There was no threat of human exposure to the untreated sewage. Any questions should be directed to Chris Bartlett, Director of Public Works at 715-463-2405. WNAXLP (July 18)

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

www.burnettcountysentinel.com

Being for people For over five years now, the Selbher famn iily has been blessed tto live in Grantsburg and serve the b very people in our v community God has c called us to do life c with. It continues w to be a deep abiding GEORGE SELBHER joy to live here in Grace Baptist the Northwoods and raise our three children in this beautiful Wisconsin area. Living in a smaller town â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a village to be exact â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has been fun and fruitful, yet

challenging. I grew up and went to high school in a town of 20,000 people. Then for five years, I lived in a college town of 100,000 people. And when married in 2008, we lived with over 3.6 million people in the Twin Cities. So coming to Grantsburg in 2013 was quite a change and a welcome one, given the stage of life we are in. Living in big towns and cities, one hardly gets to truly know very many people well, and it is easy to live life obscured from all people. For some this may be welcomed, but living life mostly isolated from meaningful relationships is usually detrimental to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-be-

ing. On the flipside, living in a small community oftentimes means that everybody knows the intricacies of your life, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always helpful. And when this happens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially when mess happens as a result of poor choices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I have noticed it becomes way too easy and convenient to minimize how we think of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s futures and potentials. We quit assuming a goodwill towards others and we no longer seek their best good; we withdraw from relationship and abandon the hard work of helping people rebound and improve. When we do this, we have a small view of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redemptive power and erroneously limit

what we think He can do to positively transforming the lives of others. We must always remember that each of us came into this world as absolute rebels against God. All of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by nature and by choice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; woefully and willfully sinned against God. But in His great love for us, God freely chose to sacrifice His own Son Jesus Christ on the cross so that we could be forgiven and be blessed with a new life in Him. Being for people in the very same way God has always been for us is best for everyone. Will you please consider being for people like Jesus is? The world desperately needs it!

Abundance of the river valley on display at Crex Meadows JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWNNEWS@PRESSPUBS.COM

The striped plumage of American bitterns makes them difficult birds to spot as they stalk their prey in the tall grasses. Visitors to Crex Meadows may catch sight of one in the grasses along the roads and lakes.

At left: The area around Crex Meadows is favored by hognose snakes, which feed on toads near wetlands. Those who get too close to a snake may be greeted by a dramatic display, wherein the snake ﬂattens its hood like a cobra and hisses loudly. Sometimes these snakes will even play dead. Hognose snakes have amphibian-speciﬁc venom and are not harmful to humans.

GRANTSBURG—There are few places in the St. Croix Valley that exhibit the abundant diversity of plant and animal life as well as Crex Meadows Wildlife Area in Grantsburg. The height of summer can be a frustrating time for birders looking to add a few news species to their list, but Crex Meadows is a reliable site for harder-to-find birds, such as black-billed cuckoos, black terns and American bitterns. Many waterfowl and wetland birds nest at Crex Meadows, which makes July the perfect time to observe tiny, fluffy chicks from several species. The preserve also provides habitat for the endangered Blanding’s turtle. Occasionally, visitors can even catch sight of a black bear or even a gray wolf. That’s to say nothing of the range of plant and insect life that is easily observable in all parts of the preserve (beware the biting flies). A visitor center and gift shop in the southwest corner of Crex Meadows gives visitors insight into the land’s history—it was once drained and used by the Crex Carpet Company to grow wire grass for its rugs. The wetlands have since been restored, which has attracted not only the wildlife suitable to that habitat, but also the adventurers, game hunters and photographers sure to follow. Crex Meadows is located at 102 Crex Ave., Grantsburg, Wisconsin. Learn more about the wildlife area at www.crexmeadows.org. Jackie Bussjaeger is the editor of the Forest Lake and St. Croix Valley Lowdown, and can be reached at 651-407-1229 or lowdownnews@presspubs.com.

Tigers drop game to Hurricanes

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

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

and Carsen Stenberg each had three hits. Hunter Rosenbaum and Owen Washburn got five RBI’s on the day.

Washburn and Gustafson allowed just three hits, walked but two and struck out nine.

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

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

Washburn throws no-hitter against Turtle Lake/ Clayton BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

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

Hurley falls to Tigers

SCOREBOARD Webster 11, Hurley 0

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS WEBSTER—The Hurley Midgets visited Webster last Saturday in hopes of breaking into the win column, but went home, instead with two additional losses. The Tigers won both games, 11-0 in the first, and 16-0 in the second. The Midgets in the first game had only two more than the minimum batters go to the plate. A walk and a hit batsman were those batters. Owen Washburn threw a no-hitter. He struck out eight in the process. Offensively, the Tigers had 11 hits which included two doubles by Trevor Gustafson

and a double each by Carsen Stenberg, Jack Washburn and Hunter Rosenbaum. Washburn had three RBI's with T. Gustafson, Stenberg and Hunter Gustafson each getting two. In the second game, Caleb Pardun, Stenberg and Brad Sigfrids combined for a one-hitter, blanking the Midgets in the scoring department. In neither game did the Tigers commit an error, so their defense was excellent. Jack Washburn had two doubles in this game for extra bases. Owen Washburn, Coleton Peterson and Jack Washburn all had two hits. Jack led the team in RBI's with three.

T. Gustafson, Stenberg, Tanner Pardun, Peterson and Matt Buffington all had two RBI's. “Against Hurley, we played great defense,” said Coach Jarrod Washburn. “Owen did well in the first game, and as a coach and a dad, and seeing both boys (Jack and Owen) play, it's really special. “In the second game (against Hurley), our pitchers did well. They found the strike zone, yet had a couple of walks. We played great defense behind them. “Right now we're throwing the ball really well, but our catcher, I can't say enough about him. I've watched a lot of catchers around the State and he's one of

Tigers blank Lakers for eighth straight

Webster 16, Hurley 0

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS WEBSTER––The Webster Tigers won their eighth straight game via shutout by blanking the Shell Lake Lakers 10-0 on Monday night. “Anytime you win a conference ball game, it's a good thing,” said Coach Jarrod Washburn following the win. “We did a lot of good things (tonight). Jack wasn't very sharp today, but he made some adjustments and that was good. Caleb (Pardun) came in and did a real good job for us. “Offensively, we've got to improve a little. The home run, especially with the bases loaded, was a big thing. It was a momentum swinger, so that was big.” The Tigers got on the board early. Trevor Gustafson got on via an error. Carsen Stenberg walked. Hunter Gustafson sacrificed one run in. Hunter Rosenbaum singled another run in, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Matt Buffington's single. The highlight in inning four

Impressive “My pitching philosophy is simple – keep the ball away from the bat” – Satchel Paige. When a baseball team gets a shutout, it’s noteworthy. It probably means the pitcher was on and the defense was good. A single shutout in the Major Leagues is certainly not unheard of, but still a nice accomplishment. Statistically speaking, there is a shutout once in every seven to eight games. So you will see a Bob Rombach couple every day there’s a full slate of games. What you won’t see, ever, is what Webster has done this season so far. The 1916 New York Giants hold the MLB record for the longest winning streak of all time with 26. During their streak, they shut out their opponent ten times. The longest shutout streak during their amazing winning streak was three. Three shutouts in a row, and that happened one time. They had two in a row twice, and the rest were mingled in with the rest. The Webster Tigers this season are 16-2 as of this writing. Of their 16 wins, thirteen of them are shutouts including the last eleven games they have

Inside the Huddle

played. No West Lakeland team has scored against them. In Grantsburg’s game against them last week, the Pirates mustered a few runners that got as far as second base but couldn’t string a couple hits together to put a number on the scoreboard. This is one heck of an accomplishment, no matter what level of ball you’re at since the competition should theoretically be close to the same, it seems in this case that’s not the case. Webster is ranked number one in Division 3. If we look at the other number one seeds across Wisconsin it may provide more perspective. Arrowhead (Div. 1) has one shutout this year, Waupun (Div 2) has one shutout this season, Athens (Div 4) has three shutouts this year. Webster has 13. Want more? Let’s look at the top two teams of each division (excluding Webster, of course) we have 18 among the other top seven teams in the state. That’s an average of 2.5 shutouts per team. As you may already know, Webster’s head coach Jarrod Washburn, a 1992 Webster graduate, played in the Major Leagues from 1998-2009. He won a World Series in 2002 as the Angels number one starter and finished fourth in the Cy Young Award race that same year. Some might think he was out there pitching for the Tigers again. Well, kinda. Both of his sons, Jack (Jr.) and Owen (Fr.) have pitched no-hitters this season. Jack struck out 12 in his and

SUBMITTED

Trevor Gustafson

Owen struck out eight in his. But, that’s not all Webster has in terms of pitchers. While Jack has already committed

to play baseball for Oregon State after he graduates next year, Hunter Rosenbaum (Jr.) has also accepted a Division 1 offer to play for West Virginia. According to many sources Washburn and Rosenbaum are the top two pitching prospects out of Wisconsin. The shutout thing is beginning to look a little clearer now. At this point it would actually be a shock to see a run scored against these guys. Caleb Pardun, Brad Sigfrids, and Trevor Gustafson round out a stellar pitching staff for the Tigers. As a staff they have a 1.17 ERA and have a whopping 167 strikeouts that is tops in the state of Wisconsin… by a lot, regardless of division. An underappreciated part of all of this is Trevor Gustafson as Webster’s every day catcher. He’s a junior as well. He’s pitched some, but his role is primarily behind the plate and he does a great job there. Webster lost in the State semi-final game last year. Add Hunter Rosenbaum and a lot of experience it certainly looks like another state run, or even a state title, is on the horizon. But, this is baseball, and these are still kids so anything can happen. One thing is for sure, thirteen shutouts (and maybe counting) in eighteen games is likely something we willl not see again. Until next year when Washburn, Rosenbaum and Gustafson are seniors.

Tigers clip Eagles BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—The Webster Tigers continued their shutout string as they blanked the Unity Eagles 9-0 last Tuesday. Both the Tigers and the Eagles had only three hits apiece, but the Tigers took advantage of 12 walks given to them to give them the tallies. Trevor Gustafson got on base in the first inning via an error. He moved on to second. Gustafson moved to third on a Carsen Stenberg single and came home on a ground out ball. Webster blew the game open in the second inning, scoring five runs. Brad Sigfrids walked. Trenton Wols singled. Both Austin Spafford and Owen Washburn were issued bases on balls. T. Gustafson sacrificed a run home. Stenberg walked. Jack Washburn got on via a fielder's choice. Hunter Gustafson singled and Hunter Rosenbaum walked to account for the runs scored. The fourth inning was quiet for the Tigers, but in the fifth they added two more runs. T. Gustafson walked and stole second. With one out, J. Washburn got on via an error and he stole second. A wild pitch and an Eagle error got him home. The Tigers got one more run in the seventh to seal the win. Meanwhile, Tiger pitcher Hunter Rosenbaum cruised along, walking but one and striking out nine. He allowed just three scattered hits. Neither team had an extra base hit. The Eagles committed three errors to the Tiger's one.

WEBSTER—"I wouldn't normally be pleased after a 6-0 loss, but I thought we played our best ball of the season tonight,” said Pirate coach Pete Johnson after the set back to the Webster Tigers on Thursday. "We played clean defense, made a couple of run-down outs, pitched well, and put the ball in play a fair amount." "Webster earned all six of their runs." The Tigers got two of their scores in the first inning when, with one out, Carsen Stenberg and Jack Washburn both singled and stole bases. Hunter Gustafson singled them both home. Another two came in the second inning. With two out, Owen Washburn walked and Trevor Gustafson followed with a two run homer.

Carsen Stenberg tries to avoid being hit by a pitch during a recent game.

July 18, 2018

The third inning saw Jack Washburn single, steal both second and third, and come home on a Hunter Rosenbaum double. Their last run came in the fourth inning as T. Gustafson got on via a fielder's choice and came home on a Carsen Stenberg double. "Ricky had the game of his life at third,” praised Coach Johnson. “He made several very nice plays." Those plays included a couple run-downs of Tiger runners getting too far off bases. Luke Anderson, Bryce Roufs and David Nelson each had a hit for the Pirates. For the Tigers, Trevor Gustafson, Carsen Stenberg, Jack Washburn and Hunter Gustafson each had two hits. Along with T. Gustafson's homer, both Stenberg and Rosenbaum batted doubles. Said Coach Jarrod Washburn of the

Tigers, “It was a good win. Grantsburg always comes ready to play. They play good baseball. They made some good plays tonight.” “You know you have your work cut out for you when you go up against a Pete Johnson team. These guys are always solid. They made the plays, they don't hurt themselves. They throw strikes. They put the ball in play.” “They are like every other Pete Johnson team. They are scrappy.” Regarding Washburn's pitchers tonight, Trevor Gustafson pitched a couple innings “to keep him sharp. We had Jack in there to get his pitch count up and get him ready for this weekend.” The weekend Coach Washburn was referring to was a trip back to Edgerton, Wisconsin to face some still competition in preparation for the upcoming playoffs.

Tigers win big; five homers in the game BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS LUCK—In the second game of a back-to-back, homeand-home duel, the Webster Tigers hit the ball consistently and consistently hard as they defeated the home team 22-2 on Friday. Four of the home runs were hit by Jack Washburn who accounted for 11 of the 22 runs in the game. Three of the homers were three run shots while the first one was a two-run home run. Trenton Wols also hit a three-run home run in the game. Webster pounded out 20 hits. Carsen Stenberg was four for four including a double. Washburn was four for five. Hunter Rosenbaum was three for five with a double. Both Wols and Stenberg had three RBI’s with Brad Sigrids getting two. Sigfrids started for the Tigers in pitching and went two innings. He gave up the two runs on two hits, walking three and striking out two. Caleb Pardun worked three innings, allowing a single hit, no runs walked none and struck out five. Levi Jensen, Lyndon Johnson and Merlin Hibbs hurled for Luck/Frederic. Said Tiger coach Jarrod Washburn, “At Luck, the boys really played a nice game. Great team effort with us hitting the ball the way we’re capable of and not squandering scoring opportunities like we did Thursday in our game vs L/F. Obviously Jack (Washburn) had an amazing night at the plate. I have never seen a kid so locked in at any level. Very proud of him making some adjustments in his swing earlier in the week and taking that into the games. Four homers in one game is pretty unbelievable. Not sure that we will ever see that again, but you never know.

Congratulations, Tigers!

Brad Sigfrids started on the mound for the Tigers in their win over Frederic/Luck.

Trenton (Wols) and Brad (Sigfrids) have also made some recent adjustments to their swings and both had nice games for us. I was also very proud of the job Caleb Pardun did pitching, coming in and pounding the strike zone which was exactly what we needed in this game.

Tigers win Regional title BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS WEBSTER—The Webster Tiger baseball team defeated the Cumberland Beavers 13-5 on Friday to claim a Regional Championship with the right to move on to Sectional play at Chippewa Falls against Chequamegon. The Tigers got three runs in the bottom of the first. With one out, Carsen Stenberg got on via an error. Jack Washburn was hit by a pitch and then Hunter Gustafson doubled. An out later, Brad Sigfrids singled the third run home. In the top of the second, Cumberland scored twice, on two walks, a stolen base and a double to narrow the score to 3-2. Webster went quietly in their half of the second and Cumberland went ahead in the top of the third on a single and a home run. That put the Beavers up 4-3 after three innings of play. Cumberland then went quietly in the fourth, but the Tigers didn't. They put four across to reclaim the lead at 7-4. Trevor Gustafson got on via an error. Three walks were issued to Stenberg, Jack Washburn and Hunter Gustafson. Hunter Rosenbaum sin-

gled, Sigfrids walked and Trenton Wols singled. Cumberland got a solo home run in their half of the fifth, but that was all the scoring for the Beavers. The Tigers got six in their half of the sixth. Jack Washburn had a three-run homer down the left field line. Hunter Gustafson was the next batter and he put one over the center field fence. After a base on balls, Sig-

frids clobbered one over the left field fence. Owen Washburn finished out the game pitching, going 1-2-3 in the top of the seventh. “Hunter (Rosenbaum) missed the strike zone which is very uncommon for him, but he made some changes and then we came back,” said Coach Jarrod Washburn. “Cumberland is a very good team and they tested us early, but the boys dug

down deep. Cumberland pounded us back there for a while.” “Owen had a heck of a game tonight, throwing as he did (in relief). Brad (Sigfrids) made some great athletic plays tonight. He leaped high up to catch a thrown ball and managed to swipe a tag on the base runner coming towards him. He also dug out another thrown ball out of the dirt in order to get the runner out at first.”

WEBSTER—“We started real slow tonight, but Gage (Johansen) was throwing a great game for them,” said Tiger coach Jarrod Washburn following the 10-0 win over Luck-Frederic last Thursday. Rain had washed out both Tuesday's and Wednesday's games so the Tigers hadn't played in a number of days. “He (Gage) made a lot of good pitches and got a few breaks for them. I tip my cap off to him. He did a really good job.” The game was scoreless until the Tiger half of the fourth inning. Hunter Gustafson singled. Hunter Rosenbaum got on via an error. Singles by Brad Sigfrids and Trenton Wols followed. Two sacrifices surrounded by a walk produced more runs. A double by Jack Washburn got the fifth and sixth runs across. In the meantime, pitcher Jack Washburn was keeping the Luck-Frederic team away from the plate. In the Tiger fifth, Sigfrids singled, Austin Spafford walked. Then both Owen Washburn and Trevor Gustafson singled with Carsen Stenberg getting the tenth run in on a double. Washburn pitched all five innings, allowed three hits, no runs, walked four and struck out 13. Brad Sigfrids was two for two at the plate, scoring twice and getting two RBI's. Johansen took the loss, allowing four hits, six runs, walked two and struck out three.

STATE BOUND! BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

The Webster Tiger baseball team defeated both the Chequamegon Screaming Eagles and the Elk Mound Mounders on Tuesday to advance to State tourney next week. The Tigers beat the Chequamegon Screaming Eagles 11-0 in five innings, and squeaked by the Elk Mound Mounders 2-1 in seven. In the early game, the Tigers were the visiting team and were to the plate first. Jack Washburn got to third on a single, a stolen base and an error, but a strike out ended the inning. Washburn was on the hill for the Tigers, allowed one hit, but struck out the side. Two consecutive triples by Hunter Rosenbaum and Brad Sigfrids opening the second inning bringing the first of four runs across for Webster. Then with one out, Austin Spafford got on via an error, Owen Washburn walked, and both runners advanced on stolen bases. After a Chequamegon pitching change, Trevor Gustafson got to first on a fielder’s choice, a sacrifice got another run in before a fly out ended the scoring for the Tigers. Washburn struck out the side in the bottom of the second, allowing only a hit batsman to reach first for the Screaming Eagles. Two more runs came across for Webster during inning three. With one out, Rosenbaum singled. Sigfrids got on via an error. Two stolen bases and a single by Trenton Wols produced the two runs. Chequamegon got their only run of the game in the bottom of the third, A walk, a balk and a single put their runner across. A strike out ended the threat and the inning.

EUGENE SIKORSKI

The Webster Tigers are headed back to the State tournament for the second year in a row after defeating Chequamegon and Elk Mound on Tuesday.

The icing for the Tigers came in the fourth inning. With one out, Carsen Stenberg singled and stole second. Washburn got on via an error. Hunter Gustafson walked. Rosenbaum singled two runs in. Sigfrids singled in another. Three fielder’s choices got two more runs, but Chequamegon got only two outs in the deal. Owen Washburn went to the mound in the bottom of the fourth. He had a 1-2-3 inning. The Tigers threatened in the top of the fifth, getting two runners on base, one as far as third base, but a strike out ended the threat and the inning. O. Washburn allowed a walk in the bottom of the fifth, but a 6-3 put out ended the inning and the game, following the 10 run ruling. Unofficially, Jack Washburn went three innings, allowed two hits, one run, walked two and struck out seven. Owen Washburn pitched two innings, had a walk and a strike out. Rosenbaum had four hits, including a triple. Sigfrids had two hits, including a triple. “Jack and Owen did a good job today,” said Coach Jarrod Washburn. “They make a nice duo on the mound. Sometimes

Owen goes on his own track and gets into trouble and gives free passes.” “We took advantage of a few mistakes by the other team. We hit good enough to win. We’ve struggled all season long, but they’re starting to come around.” TIGERS 2, MOUNDERS 1 This game was a nail biter from the very beginning. Again, Webster was the visiting team and went to the plate first. With one out, Stenberg got on first after getting hit by a pitch. After a second out, Hunter Gustafson walked. Rosenbaum came through with a single, scoring Stenberg. 1-0 Tigers. Rosenbaum was on the mound for Webster and allowed just a single in the bottom of the first. Webster went 1-2-3 in the second inning and Rosenbaum had a single off his pitching in the bottom of the inning. Still 1-0 Webster. Again the Tigers went in order in the third, but Elk Mound scored a run in their half of the inning. With one out, the Mounders got a runner on first

via a hit batsman. Two singles scored him. With one out, Elk Mound hit a fly ball to Spafford in center field who caught it, and rifled a throw to Trevor Gustafson at home plate to nail the Mounder runner coming in from third after the catch. Tie at 1. With one out in the top of the fourth, Rosenbaum got a single and stole both second and third. He came home on a catcher error to make it 2-1. Wols singled and Austin Spafford walked, but not further runs were scored by the Tigers. Elk Mound got a runner as far as third in the fourth, but did not score. Webster went in order in the fifth and Elk Mound had one on via a walk, but didn’t score. The sixth inning was uneventful for both teams. Inning seven saw Webster have two on via a walk and a single, but a strike out ended the top half of the inning. The last chance for Elk Mound arrived. A walk was issued to the first batter. A sacrifice moved him to second. The third batter struck out. The next batter grounded to Rosenbaum who threw him out at first and the Tigers were on their way to Appleton. “It does feel good,” said Coach Washburn about the win. “Their pitcher threw a great ball game. We took advantage of their mistakes and did enough to win. Even though Hunter (Rosenbaum) got a couple pitches up, he came through when we needed him.” Regarding the ball hit to Spafford in center field and the runner getting thrown out at the plate, “he made a decision on the field to throw home and it was the perfect throw.” When asked about the upcoming games at State, “We had some nerves last year, but hopefully we will do better this time.”

Here come the Tigers!

For the second year in a row, the Webster Tigers have punched their ticket to Appleton to play in the Wisconsin State tournament. The Tigers bowed out in the Division 4 State Semi-final last year in a 5-3 loss to Independence/Gilmanton. This season the Tigers have moved up a division (based on enrollment) and are the smallest school in Division 3 (this happens often to Webster). The West Lakeland Conference Champions have a 25-3 record and have 14 shutouts in all this season and are ranked number one in Division 3. This team has come a long way since the 2016 season where they finished as a number five seed and exited the tournament in the first round. “We are really looking forward to getting back to Appleton. We really felt we were a lot better than we showed last year when we were there, so we talked a lot about getting back and playing the way we know we can,” Tigers head coach Jarrod Washburn said. “I am confident we will be able to relax more this time and play the way we are capable of. If we do that I like our chances against anybody.” “I feel we can learn quite a bit from last year’s trip to State. We have all been to the ballpark, so that in itself will be a positive. It’s a beautiful field and it’s natural to be a little shell shocked stepping into a field like that after playing the whole season on fields like ours,” Washburn added. “And just the nerves we obviously started the game with last year shouldn’t be as bad this time around since we have that one last year under our belt.” This season has been one for the record books. The Tigers have two of the best pitchers in the state of Wisconsin, Juniors Jack Washburn and Hunter Rosenbaum. Jack is the Gatorade High School Player of the Year and boasts a gaudy 0.66 ERA with his 8-1 record. Jack has 87 strikeouts and two shutouts. He has committed to pitch for Division I Oregon State after he graduates next year. Hunter is similarly dominant. He is undefeated in eight tries and has an ERA of 1.10. He has struck out 83, walked only 12 and has four shutouts.

Rosenbaum has committed to Division I West Virginia starting in the 2019-20 season. The rest of the staff is also quite good; Owen Washburn (.059 ERA) and Trevor Gustafson (1.11 ERA) are a combined 6-0 rounding out the bullpen for the Tigers. For some perspective, numbers always tell a story. Here are some of the stats this pitching staff (and defense) has put together in the 2018 season. Webster ranks Bob Rombach number one in the state, regardless of division, in strikeouts with 251 which is 48 strikeouts more than the next closest team. They are also tops in complete game shutouts with eight. They have 14 total team shutouts, which is by far the best. They finished with a 1.54 ERA, which ranks third best in the state. Individually, Jack and Hunter tied at the top of the state with most wins with eight each. Their strikeout totals are good for third (Jack) and fourth (Hunter) in the state. While the pitching for Webster makes most of the headlines, the hitting is also elite. The Tigers are batting .342 as a team, have an on base percentage of .467 and, perhaps the most eye-popping a .513 slugging percentage. The slugging percentage tells you the total bases per at bat. Webster ranks as leaders in many offensive statistical categories in the state of Wisconsin, regardless of division. Home runs (20, 1st), runs (274, 1st), hits (260, 1st), walks (156, 1st), RBI (231, 1st), SLG (.513, 1st), singles (179, 3rd) doubles (52, 2nd), triples (9, 3rd), and stolen bases (98, 4th). Individually, Jack Washburn leads the state in RBI with 52, which is the best by 15. Hunter Gustafson is eighth on that list with 31 RBI himself. Jack also leads the state in home runs with

Congrats!

10, Brad Sigfrids and Hunter Gustafson are tied for 10th in the state with three home runs each. Hunter Gustafson (38) edges Jack Washburn (37) in total hits. Hunter is ranked fourth (tie) while Jack is ranked sixth (tie). Hunter Rosenbaum (36, t-7th) and Trevor Gustafson (33, t-14th) are also among the state leaders. Four of the top sixteen hitters are from the little town of Webster. That’s incredible and formidable for any opponent. Speaking of opponents, here is a synopsis of the Kenosha St. Joseph Lancers, Webster’s semi-final foe. They are a private Catholic school from the fourth largest metropolitan area in Wisconsin. “All of the other three teams that have advanced this far look like very good teams that are all playing very good ball right now,” Coach Washburn said. “There definitely won’t be any easy games.” The Lancers were the number four seed in their region, but that is misleading. They were ranked tenth in Division 3 at the end of the season and have been playing great baseball. They seem to match up well with Webster’s hitting as they are batting .341 (Webster is .342) and ten players are hitting above .300. Not that that means anything. Hitters don’t bat against the opposing hitters. They go against the pitchers. Here’s how that looks. Lancer pitching is good but is overshadowed by the Tigers incredible 1-2 punch of Washburn and Rosenbaum. One might predict their ace, Jacob Charon (6-0, 1.61 ERA) will get the start against Webster on Wednesday. If the Tigers can get to Charon, the next best pitchers have much higher ERAs; Jack McGuire (2.98) and Jake Reigel (3.69). Prediction: Webster wins 7-2 and will play in Thursday’s final. Webster will play Kenosha St. Joseph on Wednesday afternoon. They will start approximately 35 minutes after the end of the first Division 3 game which starts at 1:00 pm. You can watch the game through the WIAA (and a paywall). The championship game will be played on Thursday and the winner of this game will face the winner of the

Larry’s L.P.

St. Mary Catholic Zephyrs (17-2) and Mineral Point Pointers (18-4). St. Mary’s has five pitchers with a sub-.200 ERA. They won state back in 2016 with an undefeated season. Last year they lost in the sectional semi-finals which was their first loss of the season. They are 66-3 in the past three seasons. Mineral Point (18-4) has never been to the Spring State Baseball Tournament in their history (though they went once while in summer ball). They finished second in their conference and are unranked coming into the semifinal against St. Mary Catholic. Mineral Point, on paper, would seem to be the biggest Division 3 underdog, but they have some lively bats, including freshman Liam Stumpf who hit over .500 and has some pop to his bat. The team has an average of .354 at the plate. If the team advances, it’ll be because of their performance at the plate. Championship game prediction: Webster 3 – St. Mary Catholic 1. The Championship game will start at 12:05 and can be viewed on Fox Sports Wisconsin. Good luck to the Tigers in their quest to bring home the gold trophy. MORE FROM COACH WASHBURN

“I can’t say enough how proud I am of this group of fine young men. Last year hurt and every one of them set the goal to get back this year and try our best to have a better showing. They have kept their focus and worked their butts off to get back to Appleton for this opportunity to achieve their goal. There are no egos on this team and each and every one of them does his best to help the team. “Our fans have been outstanding this season also. We have had huge crowds at many games this year and they are loud and very supportive and that is a huge help. It didn’t matter if we traveled five hours south to Edgerton just to be able to play games, we always had a good group of fans there to support us and the team loves that. The crowd at Sectionals was very large and very loud and I expect a big group to make the long trip across the state to Appleton and we can’t say enough how much that means to us.”

Tigers advance to finals with win over Kenosha St. Joseph BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

APPLETON—The Webster Tigers punched their ticket to the WIAA Division 3 finals after defeating Kenosha St. Joseph on Wednesday by a 14-8 margin. Both teams got on the board in the first inning, with the Tigers being delegated as the visiting team. Trevor Gustafson singled to open the game. Carsen Stenberg sacrificed him to second. With two out and Tanner Pardun running for Gustafson, Pardun went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Hunter Gustafson. KSJ scored their run on two consecutive triples. Both teams were silent in the second inning, but in the third, fireworks began to explode. The Tigers put five across with KSJ netting three. Owen Washburn walked and Trevor Gustafson got on via a hit-by-pitch. Stenberg singled, loading the bases. Jack Washburn was hit by a pitch, getting an RBI for getting his brother, Owen, in. Hunter Gustafson then singled two runs home. Two batters later, Brad Sigfrids got on via an error, scoring one run. Trenton Wols hit a sacrifice fly, scoring one. The inning ended on a fielders choice. A double, a flyout, a fielders choice, a single and an error were the highlights of the KSJ third inning. In the fourth, Webster scored three. With two out, Stenberg walked and stole second. Jack Washburn walked. Hunter Gustafson singled, scoring one and then promptly stole second.

He pitched all seven innings, walking but one and striking out eight. “Hunter threw that semi-final game for us and did a great job as always. He also threw a ton of strikes and kept his pitch count down allowing him to throw the whole game and set us up perfectly for the championship game,” Tigers coach Jarrod Washburn said.

Tigers bring home gold BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS APPLETON—A four run sixth inning propelled the Webster Tigers baseball team to an 8-2 win over St. Mary’s Catholic and to the WIAA Division 3 Championship. Tigers pitcher Jack Washburn and St. Mary’s Wilson Davis each went five innings in something like a pitchers’ duel before the Tigers broke open a four point lead in the sixth and added two more in the seventh. “The boys definitely seemed more relaxed this year. The past experience of having made it last year was very big for us,” Tigers head coach Jarrod Washburn said. “We knew what to expect this year and had a much more relaxed and confident attitude going into the games this year.” Once again, Webster got on the board in the top of the first, beginning with a double by Trevor Gustafson. A sacrifice moved him over to third and Jack Washburn flied out to right field, enabling Gustafson to tag after the catch and score. St. Mary’s, though, scored twice in their half of the first. Uhlenbrauck was hit by a pitch. Zimmer walked, putting runners on first and second. With one out, Skrzypczak doubled, getting the two runs home. “Jack did start his game similar to the way he started last season. I was a bit uneasy; but at the same time it is not uncommon for him to be shaky in the first inning so I was still confident he would figure it out,” Coach Washburn said. “I relaxed quite a bit when he was able to find the strike zone pretty quickly after allowing those first two runners. After that first inning, he was pretty locked in and dominant with an almost unhittable breaking ball that he was commanding very well.”

Trevor Gustafson lets out a cheer after pounding out a double in the championship game.

The second inning was scoreless for both teams with Webster getting a runner on board, but not able to get him plated. The Tigers knotted the game at two in the third. Owen Washburn singled, moving to third on a ground out. Carsen Stenberg flied to center field and Washburn came home after the tag. St. Mary’s had two on base in their half of the third, but were not able to capitalize on the event. Inning four was 1-2-3 for both squads. The Tigers got a runner on base in the fifth on a triple by Owen Washburn, but he was left stranded. St. Mary’s got a double in their half of the fifth, but also was left stranded. Webster got four runs on five hits in inning six. With one out, Jack Washburn tripled. Hunt-

er Gustafson singled, scoring Washburn. Hunter Rosenbaum doubled, Gustafson stopping at third. Brad Sigfrids then tripled both Gustafson and Rosenbaum home. Trenton Wols then singled Sigfrids to the plate, thus ending the top of the sixth with the Tigers up 6-2. After getting a lead off walk on board, Tiger pitcher Owen Washburn got two St. Mary’s batters to fly out and one to strike out, giving the Tigers just one inning to go for the championship. “Owen was able to come in and do what he has done for us all year, which is pretty amazing considering he is just a 14 year old kid,” Washburn said. “He doesn’t let any situation get too big and just relaxes and does his job, pounding the strike zone and allowing his defense

to work behind him.” Webster picked up two additional runs in the top of the seventh. With one out, Stenberg doubled. Jack Washburn was intentionally walked. Then on a failed pickoff attempt on Washburn, both runners moved up with Stenberg scoring and Washburn ending up on third. Hunter Gustafson walked with Tanner Pardun coming in to run for him. Rosenbaum sacrificed a fly ball to center to score Washburn. Owen Washburn had a onetwo-three inning to end the game and give the championship trophy to the Tigers. The Washburns together allowed just two runs, three hits, walked four and struck out 12. Brad Sigfrids had the hot bat, as he was three for four with two RBI’s. Owen Washburn was two for three. The Tigers finish their season with a 27-3 record and a State Championship. Four Tigers graduated— Hunter Gustafson, Austin Spafford, Trenton Wols and Caleb Pardun, yet there are plenty of upcom-

ing athletes to take their positions next year. It would not be surprising to see Webster back for a third consecutive trip to the finals. “We will lose four seniors from this team and every year it seems harder to say goodbye to the group that is leaving,” the coach said. “These four young men will be hard to replace on the field, but even harder to replace within the fabric of our team. They all are great young men who will go on to be successful adults and it has been a pleasure coaching them all these years.” More from Coach Washburn: “The tournament experience is a very cool experience for the kids. Getting to go the day before our game and sit as a team watching D1 teams play really let’s the team sit and soak it all in perfectly. I think it really let’s them know how special their accomplishment of getting there is. Obviously, we knew a bit better what to expect this year - after our trip down there last year - so we were much more relaxed and able to just play our game. “I sensed a quiet confidence in the group while we were there that was very cool to see. We didn’t have to say much as a coaching staff, as it was very evident that they were focused and determined to achieve the goal they had set after the previous season’s disappointment. All season long they kept their focus on their goals, never getting too high after great games or too low after bumps in the road. It’s obviously a very talented group of kids, but that doesn’t always get the job done. You need that right attitude, work ethic and team chemistry to achieve the ultimate goals,and this group of young men did an outstanding job of keeping that focused, fun, family atmosphere all season.”

Meet the Washburns “In the air, and this should do it,” the Fox Sports announcer said as the St. Mary Catholic batter popped the ball straight up in the air. “And fittingly it’s gonna be a Washburn recording the final out….” Owen Washburn, on the mound in relief of his older brother Jack, saw the ball pop up and raised his hands in the air. “When he first popped it up I threw my hands up cause I knew that was it.” Owen said. “Then I was like, ‘wait, that’s close to me! I better catch it.’ After that I don’t really remember anything!” After that, it was his teammates storming the mound and the freshman Owen, one of the smallest guys on the team, found himself on the bottom of the heap of humanity in the middle of the infield. The Fox cameras found him with his face down so all viewers see is his floppy blond hair getting tousled by a teammate, and then when he looked up, and we all got the feels. The biggest, brightest, most genuine smile a kid could have. Pure joy in a moment he, and the rest of his team will never forget. Somehow in the chaos of that mess of teenage boys, junior Jack Washburn, the Division I commit, the Gatorade High School Player of the Year, the Major League Prospect only seemed to want one thing; to find his kid brother and give him a great big bear hug. “The boys finding each other in the celebration dog pile and hugging,” Kerrie Washburn said. “For me as their mom, that was the best part. I’m prouder of that than the pitching performance or anything else they did this season. I’ve watched the video clip of the last out many times and the dog pile celebration with Owen smiling from the bottom, followed by them hugging, and it just fills my heart.” Jarrod added, “that dog pile on Owen and all that followed was a great moment for sure. At the time it happened I couldn’t see him at the bottom or those two hug after it. Watching the replay of the game was when I finally got to see that moment and I do have to admit that hug choked me up a bit.” When Owen caught that last out,

Jarrod and the rest of the staff stayed near the dugout and watched the celebration. There was hugging and hand shaking among them, but they stayed off the field. In 1987 Twins coach Tom Kelly watched the celebration as the Twins won the World Series that season. After the game a reporter asked him why he stayed on the bench instead of celebrating with the team. He said something along the lines of “this is about the players, they are the ones who earned that moment.” Jarrod echoed that sentiment, “Tom Kelly was exactly right in what he said. That moment after the final out is all about them. I just wanted to sit back, hug my assistant coaches, and watch those kids celebrate. They earned the spotlight at that time, so I just wanted to let them have it.” One of those assistant coaches was Jarrod’s old high school head coach, Rusty Helland. “Having Rusty back to help us out and be a part of these last two years has been very special. He has a lot of years of coaching under his belt so has brought a ton of knowledge and insight into our staff. And it is great having someone like that to handle my sons, since it isn’t always easy having dad coach his own kids.” In a post-game interview, and several times since then, Jarrod has been asked about which was better, winning the World Series with the Angels in 2002 or winning the State Championship with Webster this season. He’s consistently said they are both equal in his eyes. He elaborated on that by saying, “Both are achieving the ultimate goal. You set many goals for yourselves at the beginning of a season no matter the

team you’re on. Conference or division titles, regional and sectional championships. In the MLB, the end goal is the World Series; in high school, the ultimate goal is the state championship. Being part of a team that works together an entire season to achieve that goal at the end has the same feeling, pure elation and just a sense of being a part of something special as a group.” Jack was one of the best pitchers in the state, in fact was ranked as THE best pitcher in the state by several state journals and has accumulated a slew of accolades this year, but he says the most meaningful individual award he’s earned is the Gatorade High School Player of the Year award. Jack said, “To win that you have to be more than a baseball player. You have to be great on the field in the classroom and in your community and of course to be recognized by a household name like Gatorade means so much to me.” While Jack and Owen seem to have baseball in their blood, their younger sister seems to have a different sport in mind. “Ava is on her way to being a great little athlete as well. She is turning into a very good volleyball player and plays on a travel team of local girls her age that does extremely well”, Jarrod said. “I think she will follow in mom’s footsteps though and track will end up being her best sport. She has middle school conference titles in the 100, 200 and long jump the past couple years and this past season set a new conference record in the long jump at 15’9”.” But baseball is a heavy focus for the Washburns, and that’s okay with them. Some people have a hard time getting into the sport, and Jarrod can empathize, but has some interesting thoughts on the game. “I can understand a little the boring and

Success is a combination of a whole lot of hard work and a little bit of luck – but mostly it’s never giving up.

slow comments if you’re watching on TV. I struggle sometimes to watch games on TV because I know there is so much going on out on the field that the cameras aren’t showing that I want to see. I know I am biased, but I just think baseball is the best sport of all of them. It’s the ultimate team sport broken down into multiple individual battles. It teaches young people so many life lessons that help shape them. All sports teach some of this, of course, but baseball is the one sport where kids have to learn how to fail and move on. Even the best baseball players fail more than they succeed so learning to be able to handle that failure and learning from your mistakes without it affecting your future play is to me the most valuable lessons it teaches.” Kerrie is also a baseball junkie and says, “One of the best things about baseball is there isn’t a clock to run out, you can’t stall, you have to keep throwing the ball over the plate and keep giving the other team a chance. Baseball is so much like life, there is a quote from a movie, ‘It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard…is what makes it great.’ —Jimmy Dugan. I love that.” After Jarrod retired from his successful twelve-year pitching career, the high school sweethearts (who will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this October) moved back to their hometown, Webster. “I really don’t think Kerrie and I even thought about living anywhere else. All of our families were in the Webster area and we both grew up here and loved it so coming back here to raise our family was an easy decision for us.” Jarrod said. Kerrie added, “The biggest reason for returning to Webster after retiring from baseball was family. Both of our families are here having them in our life on a daily basis was the most important reason. Other than that, the values and closeness of a small-town community and friends are pretty good too.” When asked what has helped them through the years to stay married when it seems like a lot of marriages don’t make it. Kerrie was succinct, but thoughtful when she said just one word; “faith.” When the Washburns aren’t at the ball field they are a typical Northwest Wisconsin family. Kerrie said, “We are like most people from the area, our family likes to go to the lake, fish and hunt, spend time with family and get to church when we are home.” Jarrod added, “We have a lake cabin and all like going out there and just relaxing as a family. Sometimes we are all just tired from running here and there so we just sit around the house SEE WASHBURNS ON PAGE 15

watching movies or shows. We all love food, so we have taught all the kids to cook and they enjoy that. So, everyone takes turns cooking for the family, which is fun. The kids do a great job cooking for us and Owen is really good at making desserts which is nice since we all have pretty big sweet tooths.” When Jarrod thinks about the future it’s about his kids, the team, and the sport and town he loves. “I guess when all said and done we just want to be able to be proud of what our kids become as adults. And hopefully you can say I’ve had a positive impact on many of the young kids I’ve had the pleasure of coaching over

the years. I also hope I’ve helped bring baseball back to Webster to a point of our town having a competitive team for many years to come. Hopefully every kid coming through that school grows up wanting to play baseball for the Tigers.” And the final thought will go to Kerrie as she wraps up the interview with reflection and gratitude. “As great as winning the championship felt, we’ve talked about how the journey to get there is what made it so much better (although the boys say winning the Championship is the best). Our boys were born into baseball and have always loved it. For a lot of the boys on this team, they fell in love with baseball at about 10 years old and

never looked back, and the parents of this team were all in through the years. They’ve put in countless hours of playing ball, for numerous teams, all over. For some, the work to get to the championship started, at 10 years old when they found themselves with an ex big leaguer for a coach who knew the game of baseball but was brand new at coaching little boys. I think most of us would agree that he started out pretty intense and has turned into somewhat of a softie. His intentions have always been good, to just teach the kids the right way to play baseball and in doing that learn some life lessons along the way. The team we have this year seems to be a result of like minds that just love playing the game together.

“If I seem to be over-romanticizing the game or season, I think that’s just how it is. You either love baseball, or probably don’t understand it, or don’t have a little boy that loves it. We are so happy for all of the players that they have got to experience this. They are a great group of kids. We are also very thankful for the community support of the baseball team. We have some of the biggest crowds at our games, and coming home from winning the Championship five hours away and seeing Main Street of Webster full and waiting to congratulate the team was really special.”
