HAPPY, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Community Ed thrives in Burnett County

Celebrating the Fourth!

The streets of Siren were packed for Fourth of July celebrations on Tuesday but cleared when this young patriot made his way down Main Street. See pages 12, 13 and 24 for more holiday photos!

SIREN—One would be hard-pressed to find proof that education is detrimental to a community. In most cases, an educated community leads to less crime, a decrease in drug use, higher employment, better public health, increased tax revenue—the list goes on.

However, many people immediately think of debt when the word “education” is spoken. There is no denying that the cost of higher education in the United States has skyrocketed, leaving the facts of the economy in the rear-view.

However, the term education does not solely apply to universities. Many communities, our own included, offer what is called community education. And, in Burnett County, this education is on the rise.

Jennifer Swenson, Director of Siren/Webster Communities United in Education, spoke recently

‘It is rewarding to work with people interested in growing and continuing to improve themselves and learn.’

BURNETT COUNTY— Allen G. Thomas, facing attempted homicide charges in Burnett County Court, is now up against three felony counts of perjury before a court and three counts of felony bail jumping.

The case began after a summer 2016 neck-slashing incident at McKenzie Landing in which Thomas was arrested and charged with two counts of Class B felony attempted 1st degree intentional homicide and two counts of Class E felony aggravated battery.

While detained in Barron County Jail, Thomas of Pepin, Wis., is reported to having passed a written confession underthe door of his jail cell.

On May 26, a motion hearing took place in which Thomas attempted to sway to the court to suppress the written confession. The motion was eventually denied.

DEVILS LAKE—Many have seen the shows about individuals, couples or even whole families downsizing their living situations into a ‘tiny house.’ We sit, we watch, and much like after the conclusion of movie previews, we banter back and forth about whether we approve of what we’ve just seen.

Often times, the situations on these shows concern those who are either going all in or wind up reconsidering their initial thought to scale down the size of a home.

And, most viewings are of places that are not near to us, sometimes even in places quite unfamiliar.

But, here in Burnett County, Jeff and Wendy Singer, a retired Minnesota couple, decided recently that

at both the Siren and Webster school board meetings in order to inform both districts about the growth of the program. Siren and Webster hold a joint community education program which Swenson has headed since 2011. The program has been in place since 1996. Swenson started in community education 15 years ago in her hometown of Willmar, Minn.

Community education instructors can vary from decorated individuals with long teaching careers to a person who has a passion for a particular topic and is eager to share knowledge with anyone who

DEVILS LAKE: Tiny house living

Accident claims Somerset teen

a certain plot at Devils Lake will be their home for five months of the year, April to October to be exact.

They spend the remaining seven months at a house just recently built in Venice, Florida.

The couple fell in love with this area just like many others have— by visiting friends who fell to Burnett County’s charm before them.

The couple explained that about five years ago they were visiting friends in Webb Lake and enjoying the four-wheeling routes.

“You know, you can’t beat the trails up here,” said Wendy.

Well, after the first visit, the consecutive trips turned into long weekends until the consideration to move their lives here became something they could not resist.

The couple lived many years in Eden Prairie, southwest of the Twin Cities. Jeff worked 40 years in the lumber wholesale business while Wendy worked in real estate.

“We spent several years in Eden Prairie then moved to Prior Lake where there is less hustle and bustle. This [Devils Lake] reminds us of that. We feel real comfortable here,” said Jeff.

However, before deciding on a location, three criteria had to be met.

Four wheeling. Golf. Boating.

“If any one of those three components weren’t there, we weren’t going to do it,” said Wendy.

After some deliberation and weighing other opportunities, the couple decided on their current spot.

However, these three highlights were not the only deciding factors in the Singer’s decision to move to Devils Lake.

The Singers also determined they needed to be near their children and grandchildren who, for the most part, live in the Twin Cities.

The Singers are the parents of four who combined have six children.

“We wanted a place where family can come to in the summer and enjoy. That’s really our summer objective, to spend time with family,” said Wendy.

When the decision was finally made to rent land yearly at Devils Lake, the Singers began the plans

for building their own tiny house.

“You adapt,” said Wendy when speaking to the transition of living in smaller quarters.

However, the couple explained that the transition period took place over a few years.

After having lived in Eden Prairie, a more populated area, and moving to Prior Lake into a smaller home with more outdoor space, the couple was ready to downsize one more time to their plot at Devils Lake where they can be more minimalistic.

“We’ve learned to maximize our outdoor space,” Wendy said.

The Singers see the outdoor part of their plot as essential as the house itself.

Outside the cabin-esque tiny house sits a wooded patio bedecked with a table and chairs where the Singers explained they host family, friends (new and old) at any given time.

Off 20-30 feet to the right, nestled next to Northwood’s native shrubbery and forest, sits a small campfire. And, of course, a grill with a shed to store it is on the plot.

Inside their dwelling is a living room (equipped with two armchairs and TV), a kitchen with just enough room to prepare meals, a

The Singers have learned to utilize their outside space as much as the inside. Here on their patio, the couple enjoys hosting friends, family and anyone looking for good company at their Sunday morning community breakfasts.

master bedroom, full bath, and a staircase that leads to a loft where two beds are situated. The ceiling sits five feet above the beds, assuring that the building is correct by tiny house code.

Since moving in, the couple’s home has become something of a destination spot for many. Devils Lake co-owners Mark and Suzanne Wallskog explain that when showing the resort to potential renters, they take a drive-by the Singer’s plot.

“People ask, can we do this with our lot? And we say, of course!” said Mark reflecting on the care the residents put into the land and house.

The Singers are the unofficial popular hangout spot of Devils Lake with their friendly demeanors, love for entertaining and beautiful open space.

Every Sunday a community breakfast is held on their plot and all are welcome. The couple explained at times that as many as 30 people show up to enjoy the company of others who enjoy the same space.

“We like to entertain, a lot,” said Jeff. He added, “Just the other night we were going to have dinner by ourselves and we ended up with seven more people.”

Aside from family, friends, the venue to entertain, the Singers love the peace and tranquility of their location.

“It’s the beauty,” said Wendy.

She continued, “It’s full of nature and it’s quiet. We have deer, rabbits, bears, eagles, wild turkeys. Nature is the biggest draw.”

The Singers are just one couple who have found a home in Burnett County and have assimilated. Jeff even works some days at Wayne’s in Webster and helps around at Bump’s and at the marina when hands are needed.

From April to October the Singer’s can be found at their new tiny house, ready and willing to meet new people.

“We love it here. We have the best group of neighbors you could ask for,” added Jeff.

Check back soon to learn more about the special Devils Lake Community.

TOWN OF STERLING—A single vehicle crash Friday evening in ‘The Barrens,” one mile south of the Burnett County line in northwestern Polk County, claimed the life of a Somerset teenage boy.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office reports receiving a call at 9:18 p.m. Friday, June 30 of a single vehicle crash on 290th Avenue, approximately ¼ mile east of 330th Street in Sterling Township.

The investigating deputy learned a GMC Sierra truck traveling westbound on 290th Avenue towards 330th Street crested a hill and swerved to miss a deer.

The truck’s owner/operator, Matthew H.S. Freeberg, 18, of rural Somerset, lost control of the vehicle which veered to the left and entered the south ditch, where it began to slide and then rolled over.

Freeberg, who was not belted, was ejected. The vehicle came to rest on its roof, partially on top of Freeberg, pinning him under the truck.

The truck’s four other passengers were able to free Freeberg and assisted him until Emergency Medical Personnel arrived on scene.

The accident report said within a very short period of time, Freeberg’s condition deteriorated and Air Medical Support was summoned; however, Freeberg succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene. The four passengers, who reported that they were belted, received minor injuries.

Assisting the Polk County Sheriff’s Department at the crash were Cushing First Responders and Fire Department, Lakes Area EMS Service, Wisconsin State Patrol and the Polk County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Department is continuing its accident investigation.

What the hell is going on?

One way to consider fiction is as a tiny universe— a universe that we can relate to and live in, if the writing is compelling enough. It is a way in which we can feel a sense of control; we can read at our chosen pace, dedicate specific time to reading, and even put a story down if we feel the need to.

Fiction is our way of controlling a world like ours which is, mostly, uncontrollable.

I recently read a column in The Guardian that spoke to this subject by author Johnathan Freedland. He references an essay written in 1961 by writer Philip Roth. Roth’s frustration was with the United States and its outlandish politics of the time, he wrote, “It stupefies, it sickens, it infuriates, and finally it is even a kind of embarrassment to one’s meagre imagination. The actuality is continually outdoing our talents, and the culture tosses up figures almost daily that are the envy of any novelist.”

Being 26, I cannot speak authenSentinel tically of the events of the 1960s.

However, like Freedland, I can Editor refer to our current time.

Sean Devlin Politics have served fiction writers a monumental challenge: try and top US daily news.

How can writers possibly craft characters as vivid, magnetic, and toxic as what we see on the news every night. This is not a political statement, just a statement lent by reality.

Freeland writes, “Most storylines rely on there being a well-understood set of limits. Writer and reader tacitly agree that there is a category of behaviour that, if revealed, would terminate a politician’s career...”

He argues, and I agree, that these limits have been obliterated. Both presidential candidates weren’t able to rest at night without the word investigation rolling quietly in the back of their minds.

Tapes leaked of sexual assault and we thought it was over. He won.

The campaign (and current fluttering tweets, bashing the symbolic face of CNN) is only one example of how our country has tested the imagination of writers (everyone, actually).

However, like Freeland discusses, it is the job of the writer to pull the curtains back on the hours that these unimaginable realties live out of the spotlight. It’s fiction. And fiction is our perception translated onto the page.

“The novelist can at least aim to provide a truth missing from even the most forensic reporting: the texture that lets a reader feel with their fingertips what it’s really like,” writes Freeland.

In my own fiction, I stay away from politics, and I’m not much of a “thriller” writer. However, in such a volcanic political climate and with social media pouring hot into our daily lives, it is nearly impossible not have an opinion, to be influenced.

With that being said, the biggest challenge I see is how do I portray a modern day character? How does that character react to the information that inevitably gets to him from these unimaginable realties?

Winter in 11 days I know what you are thinking – he’s finally lost it. I’m well aware that we have 169 days until the first day of winter. For us, winter is literally half a year away.

For fans of the Home Box Office (HBO) series, “Game of Thrones” winter is just 11 days away.

The seventh season of the epic fantasy series based on George R. R. Martin’s novels returns on July 16, and in the fictional land of Westeros, winter has arrived.

Martin’s novels are set in a world where seasons last for years, even decades. Dragons, magic and a struggle for control of the seven kingdoms are From the Publisher’s central themes for the series.

Martin has said that he took inspiDesk ration for the families (or Houses as they are known in the series) from EnTom Stangl gland’s War of the Roses. The War of h R k place from 1455 to 1487 as rival branchthe Roses took es of England’s royal family fought for the right to the throne.

The House of Lancaster and the House of York fought for years. It was the last war fought for the crown of England.

In Martin’s world, the Lannisters have seized control of the throne while the ill-fated but noble Stark family struggles to regain their power.

There are six novels in the series. Martin is working on the seventh book and has said that there will be an eighth novel. He has written an estimated 1,770,000 words in the tale so far, and the HBO series surpassed the completed novels after the fifth season.

I saw the first season of the show and was hooked. I quickly devoured the novels and was among the group of viewers who were quite smug because we knew

what was coming.

Last season was a great equalizer, because no one knew what would happen.

If you are a fan of well developed, complex characters, I would highly recommend the novels or the well done television adaptation. I would caution against getting too attached to any character, as Martin is notorious for killing off people that one would normally associate with being the hero of the story.

I have been frustrated with the author when some of my favorites met their bitter end.

The HBO series will only be seven episodes this season, three fewer than the 10 episodes that seem to be the new normal for episodic television dramas. The producers needed to be coaxed into an eighth season, which will be only six episodes.

HBO, concerned with losing a cash cow series like “Game of Thrones,” has ordered five different series set in the same “universe” as the series. Martin has written other novels and short stories, as well as a “history” of the seven kingdoms, so there is a great deal of material to draw from for new programs.

I have my doubts that the network will see the same amount of success a second time.

My daughters were kind enough to buy me the flag of House Stark, which now flies in my front yard. It goes nicely with my House Stark coffee mug.

Yes, I am a nerd.

In the meantime, I will enjoy the next seven Sunday nights as winter and war play out on my television set.

As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress.com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

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.

As grade-schoolers, my siblings and I lived at the outdoor swimming pool in summer, just as some do in Grantsburg.

John Edwards, founder of the paper mill on the Wisconsin River that employed a good deal of our community, built and provided the pool to our little village free of charge.

Had there been a fee, we would have spent our summers elsewhere.

The YMCA was located on the same, very large block and that indoor-pool experience was infrequent. We didn’t have memberships and went only as an occasional guest of a wealthier friend.

In preteen years, a playmate and I learned Newbie in how to sneak in. There were two reception the North- areas one had to get by to succeed.

The first one was easy. It was located in woods an area open to the public providing ping Lori Callahan pong, bumper pool, pinball games and a juke box of mostly contemporary music for kids. A quick slip by amidst the activity and down a long hall was all that was required. The hall ended at a turn to the second reception area and the locker room doors.

This office was set up like a glassed-in convenience store check-out with dual service windows on opposite sides for each gender.

Occasionally, the attendant was missing and in we’d go.

Other times, we’d wait unseen around the corner until his back was turned or he was busy and creep in.

On one attempt we were redirected, but were otherwise successful when we tried.

Once in the locker room and pool area, the lifeguards didn’t check memberships or passes.

This smaller indoor pool, however, with an exorbitant amount of chlorine smell, voices bouncing off the walls, fewer diving boards and sunshine peeking in from only small windows lined at the ceiling wasn’t nearly as fun as the jampacked outdoor community pool.

Looking back, it was the adventure of getting in the Y’s pool that was more appealing than being in.

When it was 60 degrees or more, we attended swim lessons in the morning at the outdoor pool – also “pro bono.” Oh, those first jumps in on those chilly mornings are not soon forgotten. Open swim was all afternoon and into the evening until 8 p.m. with an hour or so at suppertime reserved for the swim team. We participated in that, too, and came home only for meals.

The Olympic-size pool’s depth went from three feet on one end to over 12 on the diving end. It had three diving boards, one a high dive.

This pool in the sunshine had large cement decks that were lined with pre-teen and teen bathers. It was a hub of social activity.

Having taken swimming lessons from the age of six, I was nine when I finally took my test to swim beyond the buoyed line separating the deepest part of the pool from the rest and, with that, permission to use the diving boards.

Across and back the width of the pool – that was the test.

Looking down as I hung from the pool’s side, that deepest part looked very deep indeed.

I swam across.

A hand on the deck, poised to cross back, heart pounding, but knowing too long a wait would mean a fail, I waited a few more breaths and went again.

The lifeguard gave me a pass, adding, “Just rest between jumps,” referring to the diving boards. I smiled and returned to the shallow end of the pool to play with my friend who barely swam at all.

It seems – like sneaking into the Y – it was the accomplishment, not the reward, and I was content to play in the fourfoot waters the rest of that afternoon.

COMMUNITY ED: Burnett County loves it CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

shares the interest.

“If you can do something and are even just a few steps ahead of someone, you can teach them. Sometimes, if you are only a few steps ahead, that other person can relate to you easily,” said Swenson.

While community and institutional education share the same core value of human growth, one of institutional education’s main attempts is to prepare individuals for careers. Community education offers people of any age an opportunity to indulge in “programs that are timely and responsive to community needs,” said Swenson. It is informal, community-based education.

Classes range from a variety of topics such as Beginner Golf and Yoga to Full Moon Canoe and Pottery. The most popular and first class offered both in person and online, Wild Mushrooms 101, is taught by Tavis Lynch, a professional mycologist and commercial mushroom forager and cultivator.

Most classes require a small fee in order to cover the cost of materials and a stipend for the instructor.

However, during each catalogue period one or more classes are offered for free.

Classes run year-round over a three-catalog period.

In total, 100 classes are offered per year. In the 2016-17 school year, 726 individuals were registered for classes (134 youth).

These numbers alone tell the tale of Swenson’s efforts. Some of her duties as the sole member of the community education department include contacting individuals she sees fit to instruct different classes and foster relationships in order to equip the community with instructors that feel passionate about

returning year after year.

Swenson is constantly looking for individuals who are willing to offer their knowledge and time to members of the community. In addition, Swenson creates and distributes the catalogue which is available to everyone.

“It is rewarding to work with people interested in growing and continuing to improve themselves and learn. Obviously, if you are an adult and taking classes it is because you want to be there. No one is making you show up. And, you are usually there to solve a problem in your life, learn a new skill and do something for yourself,” said Swenson.

The newest addition to this program is online education. As of right now, only Mushrooms 101 is available online, but Swenson aims to have several more available soon. “Now anyone who has internet can take a class. That’s global,” she explained. Both in-person and online classes are open to anyone, even those outside Burnett County.

Swenson does not fear that the online campaign will take away from the traditional class setting numbers.

She feels that it will open the doors to new groups of people, near and far, that want to participate.

Community education is a national and statewide initiative to open school buildings to the community, offer educational opportunities to those who may not otherwise have any, partner with other educational outlets and, most importantly, cultivate human growth in a community setting.

To contact Swenson about possible involvement and find out where classes are held, visit www.cueclass.com or call Phone: 715-349-7070.

Summer School presents musical ‘Annie Jr.’ GRANTSBURG—More than 60 students in grades 4-10 will present the musical “Annie Jr.” as the culmination of a Grantsburg Summer School project.

Public performances will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 11 and 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 12.

“Annie Jr.” is a student adaptation of the musical that opened on Broadway in 1977. The show is based on the comic strip “Little Orphan Annie” and won a Tony award for best musical.

Set during the Great Depression, the show tells the story of the spunky and optimistic 11-year-old orphan Annie (Greta White) who was abandoned as a baby and has lived her life in an orphanage run by the nasty Miss Hannigan (Hanne Johnson).

Annie dreams and schemes to find her parents.

When the billionaire businessman Oliver War-

Want A Brighter Smile?

bucks (Gus Bergman) sends his faithful secretary, Grace, (Abby Alderman) to the orphanage to bring an orphan to his home for the Christmas holidays, it changes Annie’s life.

“It has been an intense summer project,” says Director Linda Benge. “These are talented and hard-working students who are doing a great job. We are rehearsing the show in different sections in the mornings as regular summer school, and then putting it all together in several afternoon rehearsals.”

Set pieces and costumes were created by assistant director Debra Peterson and volunteer Karin Reinert and capture the spirit of the show beautifully.

Tickets will be available at the door.

THOMAS: Up against more felony complaints CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

During that same hearing, Thomas’ attorney Aaron Nelson called Thomas to the witness stand to testify.

Thomas made the argument that his Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel was violated while in custody at Barron County Jail. Thomas was detained there July 8 through July 13, 2016. He was released after posting bail of $10,000.

Under oath, he testified that he was unable to “get the phone to work” in his cell block.

Later he maintained he had not spoken to an attorney during his time spent in Barron, and he also urged that he was prevented from doing so.

The criminal complaint issued by the Burnett County Circuit Court states, “Thomas’ testimony is utterly belied by phone records and recordings of telephone calls made by Thomas during his time spent in Barron County Jail. Those records make plain that Thomas had in fact made several calls from the phone in his cell block at said jail. He also spoke with Attorney Aaron Nelson and Attorney Jens Loberg by telephone during his stay at the Barron County Jail.”

After a detailed listing of 18 phones calls, the complaint continues “Thomas was able to effectively operate the phone in his jail cell block in Barron County Jail. He in fact made no less than 18 phone calls from Barron County Jail during the first five days he was incarcerated there. He testified falsely under oath in an effort to materially bolster his claim that he was denied access to a telephone and access to his attorney.”

It continues to read that Thomas spoke at length with two separate attorneys, including Nelson, and was not in fact prevented contact with either.

On May 17, an additional criminal complaint was filed in Burnett County Circuit Court charging Thomas with one count of Class H Felony Bail Jumping.

Thomas appeared in court on June 28 for an initial appearance for the May 17 bail jumping charge and was then presented with a criminal complaint charging him with three felony counts of perjury before a court and three counts of criminal bail jumping due to the investigation into Barron County Jail phone records.

Thomas’ next scheduled appearance is 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 22.

MADISON—Domestic violence victim advocates across Wisconsin are strongly supporting newly introduced legislation aimed at preventing teen dating violence in Wisconsin schools. LRB-2213/1, authored by Representatives Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) and Melissa Sargent (D-Madison), would direct schools to create curriculum for middle and high school students focused on recognizing the signs of an abusive relationship. It would also require schools to create policies and training for staff to handle incidences of dating violence.

“Teen dating violence is a public health crisis, and End Abuse is thrilled to see the Wisconsin legislature take steps to address this problem. One in three teens in the US is a victim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner, a rate that is higher than all other forms of youth violence,” said Patti Seger, executive director of End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin.

“Considering that there are at least 22 states that already have laws requiring curriculum on teen dating violence in schools, we urge the legislature to take interpersonal violence seriously and pass this bill. At End Abuse we are committed to breaking the cycle of violence that affects victims in every community, and

that means starting early with preventive education.”

LRB-2213/1, which was circulated for co-sponsorship earlier today, would require school boards to adopt policies addressing teen dating violence, including: Prohibiting teen dating violence at schools or school-related events and activities; Model, age-appropriate instruction about preventing and responding to teen dating violence for pupils in grades seven through 12; Training and procedures for identifying, preventing and responding to teen dating violence for school district employees, and identifying school district employees responsible for receiving teen dating violence incident reports.

“We applaud the bi-partisan work of legislators to support this vital initiative, including the lead authors and Representative John Spiros (R-Marshfield), who has worked on the legislation in previous sessions and remains a strong supporter of the bill,” said Seger. “We look forward to full support from the Legislature. By coming together to support this common-sense proposal, elected officials in Wisconsin will demonstrate that teen dating violence is not a partisan issue and that they are serious about addressing the root causes of domestic violence.”

investigation and obtained receipts as well as surveillance footage from Burnett Dairy in Grantsburg, where on January 31 one of the cards was used to purchase items.

Based on that surveillance footage, officers were able to identify the suspect in question as Peltier.

On March 15, the Burnett County District Attorney’s Office filed criminal charges against Peltier and issued a warrant for his arrest.

Peltier was placed in Burnett County Jail on June 16. The court ordered a $2,000 signature bond for Peltier with a $200 cash payment to be made before release.

The conditions of the bond require that Peltier be transported by his father (who was present in court) directly to Adult & Teen Challenge and, once released, successfully or otherwise, be returned directly to the Burnett County Jail. Peltier is also not permitted the use of debit or credit cards while the case is pending.

Peltier is scheduled back in Burnett County Court at 10 a.m., Aug. 10 for a pre-trial conference and again at 2:15, Sept. 15 for a plea-date. Sean Devlin, Editor

BURNETT COUNTY—The bail bond of a man charged in a case of credit card theft has been amended. Johnathan J. Peltier, 34, Columbia Heights, Minn., will attend Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge, a program with the goal of assisting individuals overcome substance issues (Peltier has previous burglary and drug possession charges in Minnesota).

Peltier was charged in Burnett County Court with two counts of “Unauthorized Use of an Entity’s Identifying Information,” a Class H Felony; and one count of “Theft by Acquisition of a Credit Card,” a misdemeanor.

The charges stem from a call made on January 31 by an individual who reported that after stopping at the Minit Mart in Grantsburg, he could not find his wallet. The person later received reports from Chase Visa and Indianhead Credit Union alerting him to possible unauthorized use of credit cards he had in that wallet.

The complaint stated some attempted transactions occurred in Lino Lakes, Minn. The transactions were denied and the individual using the card then tried to obtain cash using the card as a debit card.

Grantsburg police officers conducted a follow-up

GRANTSBURG—Beloved Grantsburg historian and former elementary teacher Berdella Johnson was seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash at dusk on Tuesday evening, June 27. She is recovering at a Twin Cities hospital.

A report from the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office said they were was notified at 8:02 p.m. Tuesday of the crash at S. Williams Road and Wood Lake Road.

It was reported that a semi was in the ditch. When officers arrived, they discovered an SUV was involved in the crash and the driver, Mrs. Johnson, appeared to have serious injuries.

The deputy was able to gain access to Mrs. Johnson, who was trapped in the vehicle. EMS arrived along with the Grantsburg Fire Department. Mrs. Johnson was removed from the SUV and transported to Burnett Medical Center with serious injuries, where she was stablized and transported by helicopter to a metro hospital.

The driver of the semi received minor injuries and was also taken to the Burnett Medical Center for treatment.

The Sheriff’s report said as a result of the crash, the semi began leaking diesel fuel and oil and the Wisconsin DNR was notified of the spill. The semi was transporting silage and had delivered a load to a nearby farm. The semi was traveling south on S. Williams Road and the SUV was traveling westbound on Wood Lake Road. There are stop signs for vehicles to stop before crossing S. Williams Road in both east and west directions. The semi driver stated that the SUV attempted to cross S. Williams Road when he was entering the intersection and he could not avoid the crash.

The crash is under investigation by the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office. It was assisted at the scene by the Grantsburg Police Department, North Ambulance and Grantsburg Fire Department.

Family members said Mrs. Johnson had surgeries to repair a femur and other broken bones.

They say she was moved out of intensive care, but her recovery period will be long. The family is optimistic that she eventually will be moved to Grantsburg and continue her recovery at Burnett Medical Center. Steve Briggs, Sentinel

Pilots host busy fly-in at Grantsburg Airport

GRANTSBURG—The Sunday, July 2 weather was perfect for a fly-in at Grantsburg Municipal Airport.

“We had a very successful day,” said local pilot Rod Kleiss. “We gave 35 ‘Young Eagles Flights’ to kids ages eight to 17, courtesy of the Siren EAA Chapter 1537.”

Skydivers from Rush City dropped in with a magnificent display of the American flag. North Memorial’s Air North Medevac helicopter paid a visit and let everyone have a look inside.

The Grantsburg Amateur Rocket Club launched many hand-built rockets and the Adventures food truck provided food and refreshments.

“This event is growing every time we host it,” Kleiss said with delight.

Badger Boys & Girls Think before you drink SUBMITTED BY RESTORATIVE JUSTICE OF NW WI, INC.

Alcohol is the substance most abused by teenagers. Teens have many different reasons as to why they drink alcohol such as boredom, peer pressure, escape, stress and a sense of independence.

They often do not stop to think about the dangers of early alcohol use and abuse.

The average age for a teen to first try drinking alcohol is 14 years old. Wisconsin state law prohibits persons under the age of 21 from purchasing and consuming alcohol. Not only is alcohol illegal for teens, it is also dangerous. Most teen drinking comes in the form of binge drinking, which is the consumption of an excessive amount of alcohol in a short amount of time.

Although teens drink less often than adults, the amount of alcohol consumed is greater. Most people younger than 21 who drink report binge drinking, usually on multiple occasions. As alcohol use increases, so do the risks to their health and safety.

Consuming alcohol can lead to high risk behaviors. In teens, there can be altered brain development, reduced academic performance and risky sexual behavior. It is also associated with illicit drug use as well as tobacco use. Approximately 40 percent of individuals who report drinking alcohol before the age of 15 describe their drinking behavior to be consistent with a diagnosis for alcohol dependence, also known as alcoholism.

There is good news though, as statistics show 58 percent of all high school seniors do not drink.

The best way to prevent teenage drinking is to have an open and honest conversation with your child(ren). Ask your child if he/she is interested in trying alcohol, then ask why?

Explain the dangers and risks in a calm and supportive manner. Let them know you are always available to answer questions, provide support and that they can trust you.

Realize there are struggles that go along with being a teen, so show empathy and compassion.

Communication is the most important prevention tool there is. Have a conversation with your children, not a confrontation.

NATURAL CONNECTIONS

A day on BWCA’s Moose Lake

BY EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Birdsong erupted from the forest and danced its way across a clear blue sky as we unloaded the canoes and prepared to launch on the Moose River in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness west of Ely, Minn.

The winding, sedge-lined, black-watered channel of the Moose River is a classic scene of canoe country.

Even paddling upstream, we didn’t have to work very hard to overcome the gentle flow of Moose Lake’s outlet. On one sweeping corner a beaver lodge poked its prickly roof above the wetland vegetation. Numerous small dams provided excitement. We relished the few moments of charging full steam ahead that it took to get over their mostly submerged sticks. Two larger beaver dams provided the bulk of water-holding capacity. One we portaged around, the other we hauled over.

Steering a canoe around sharp corners against a current takes skill. The sternman in my canoe did a fine job. Reid Carron is a retired lawyer and avid fisherman who just happened to marry Becky Rom—the daughter of an Ely, MN, outfitter. To avoid the strongest current, Reid paddled us right along the channel’s edge, which allowed me to peek at flowers up close.

The sunny yellow blossoms of common bladderwort stood out. Similar to a snapdragon, the large, globular, lower petal angles upward, and a smaller petal fans above it. Red veins on the lower petal probably guide pollinators into the depths. These free-floating plants have no roots. Their thin leaves branch off a zig-zag stem and divide into smaller segments that look to me like a stylized drawing of a river and its tributaries.

Danger lurks among the submerged leaves. These bladderworts don’t look threatening from the surface, but theirs is the largest genus of carnivorous plants in the world. It would be foolish for a plant to eat its own pollinators, so the beautiful flowers rise above the water’s surface a few inches, while its deadly snares hide below.

Each trap, nestled among the thread-like leaves, is a bladder with a door that opens inward. The plant can pump water out of the bladder, flattening it and creating a vacuum inside. Bristles near the trapdoor look like a good feeding habitat, and act to funnel prey toward their demise. When a minuscule invertebrate nudges trigger hairs near the door, the flap swings inward and sucks in both water and lunch. The door snaps shut as the bladder fills. Digestive enzymes and resident bacteria digest the prey, which takes anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours, depending on its

size. To reset the trap, the plant uses special cells to pull nutrient-laden water into the stem. Not only does this feed the plant, it restores the vacuum that is essential for the capture of future prey.

With such a unique lifestyle, clean water with an abundance of microscopic life is essential for bladderwort.

And, maintaining the clean water that is such an integral part of the Boundary Waters was an objective of this trip.

Steve Piragis paddled the canoe behind Reid and me.

He is the owner of an outfitting company in Ely. He and Reid were tapped to guide Idaho journalist Kris Millgate into the wilderness. I tagged along as a portage mule. After listening to a panel discussion on the proposed Twin Metals copper mine that would impact the Boundary Waters’ watershed, Millgate wanted to find out more.

She also wanted to capture the beauty of the Boundary Waters and to introduce her western audience to its charms. It was fun to watch her work. Steve and Reid fished (tough job!) while I paddled Kris out to an island. She hung precariously over the side of the bow, expensive camera almost skimming the waves.

Then, she stood behind her tripod atop a rocky knoll, squinting into the sun and wind like a warrior going into battle.

We all fished for a while, having somewhat less luck with flies and lures than the bladderwort has with its bristles. Finally, we napped under noonday sun that was too bright for good photography.

As both sun and wind diminished, we prepared for the paddle out. The evening light was magical. In the stern now, I was able to draw close enough to photograph bladderwort flowers, glowing golden against deep black water.

We’re all trying to capture something here, right? A microbe, a stunning shot, the essence of an issue, the imagination of voters, a bit of peace or an experience to remember...

The mining issue is large, and others have covered it in detail. I was just happy to spend a day on the water with people who care about it. The chorus of birdsong, the work of a beaver, an encounter with a lovely flower that needs healthy water: these things make forming my own opinion about the value of protecting their home an easy one.

FSA acreage reporting deadline approaching

SPOONER—U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Evie Moore of Washburn/Burnett counties announces that producers who file accurate and timely reports for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage, can prevent the potential loss of FSA program benefits.

She requests farmers to pay close attention to acreage reporting dates and note any change in reporting dates for perennial forage and forage seeding for 2017.

“To comply with FSA program eligibility, all producers are encouraged to visit the Washburn/Burnett County FSA office in Spooner to file an accurate crop certification report by the applicable deadline,” said Moore.

The following acreage reporting dates apply to Washburn and Burnett counties: July 15, 2017 (July 17 due to the deadline falling on a non-business day): All spring-seeded crops, including soybeans, forage seeding, crops intended for cover, green manure, or left standing, and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres.

These exceptions apply to acreage reporting dates: • If the crop has not been planted by the above acre-

Spring waterfowl survey results show good production with lots of wetlands TAYLOR FINGER, DNR MIGRATORY BIRD ECOLOGIST WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 608-266-8841

MADISON—Wisconsin’s spring 2017 waterfowl population surveys indicate increased numbers of breeding waterfowl pairs and relatively good wetland conditions which should result in increased waterfowl production this year across the state.

The Wisconsin breeding duck population estimate of 479,099 represents an increase of 23 percent compared to 2016, and nine percent above the longterm (44-year) average. Of the species-specific population estimates for the three top breeding ducks in Wisconsin (mallard, blue-winged teal and wood duck), the blue-winged teal showed the largest increase from 2016.

This survey information, along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service continental duck survey and the Ontario, Canada goose survey, provides information regarding yearly waterfowl breeding conditions and is used to determine the fall season structure for Wisconsin.

For all surveyed waterfowl species, population counts showed increased numbers from the 2016 estimates. To view full survey results for 2017, visit dnr.wi.gov. Search on the keyword “waterfowl.”

A very mild winter in 2016-17 combined with above normal rainfall in March and April led to wet conditions throughout Wisconsin – rainfall in May following the survey helped Wisconsin remain at above-average wetland conditions for the year during the important brood-rearing period. Wetland conditions remained above average for brood rearing, and Wisconsin is expected to provide good duck production in 2017.

These breeding pair and habitat conditions are important to waterfowl hunters as roughly 70 percent of mallard harvest in Wisconsin is supported by locally hatched ducks. Although higher this year, it is important to note that the average mallard population in the last few years is lower than the previous decade.

This suggests that continued efforts aimed at controlling mallard-harvest impacts and support for grassland nesting habitat conservation are important to the future of Wisconsin’s mallard population.

Harold Wagenius

Mary Yambrick

Arleth Erickson

Harold J. Wagenius, 79, of Grantsburg passed away on Sunday, June 25, 2017, at Burnett Medical Center in Grantsburg.

A memorial service honoring Harold’s life was conducted Saturday, July 1 at Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home in Grantsburg with Pastor Jay Ticknor officiating.

Harold was born on March 14, 1938, to Ernest and Edith (Larson) Wagenius at their home in Frazer, Montana. He was brought into this world by Midwife Mrs. Bird from the nearby reservation. He attended schools there until the family moved to Wausaukee, Wis., when Harold was a youth, and he attended school there.

At the age of 16, he moved to Grantsburg to stay with his brother, Lester. Harold helped on the farm and then became an accomplished pulp cutter. Soon after, Harold began his lifelong career as a truck driver.

During his nine-million-mile journey, he transported a variety of products including milk, livestock, paper, turkey products, and wood pulp; however, his favorite freight was fresh produce from California.

Harold was very proud of the fact that no one could beat his time getting a load to its destination or his record of on-time deliveries, thanks to his “magic pen.”

This was a man who was a living map and received many calls from lost over-the-road truckers, to whom he was known as “Chain Drive” or “Rabbit.”

Harold enjoyed hunting and fishing, but he rarely had time to partake of these outdoor activities. There was always another load that had to get there on time, and whoever he hauled for knew that he could get the job done! When Harold realized there were more records he could break or truck weight scales he could avoid, his miles finally caught up with his body and he reluctantly retired at the age of 74 years.

Harold was well-liked in Grantsburg and had friends from coast to coast. He will be deeply missed by his family, his many friends and his trucking buddies.

Harold is survived by his daughters, Becky Crocker (Jim) of Grantsburg and LouCinda Pearson of Minnesota, and a bonus son, Dewey Selander of Grantsburg.

His grandchildren are: Sam Johnson, Zachary Crocker, Casey Crocker, all of Grantsburg, and Taylor Pearson of Minnesota; great-grandchildren: Dakath, Kale, Tristan, Ayla, Ashlyn, Louke and Emma. Also surviving are a sister, Betty Ann Johnson of Marinette, Wis.; many nieces and nephews, and special friends, Corrine Schule and Doug Bistram.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers: Lester, Merle and Leslie; and sisters: Joyce, Lucille, Lois and Lulu.

Arleth (Brask) Lexen Erickson of Grantsburg, 91, went to be with her Lord and Savior on June 26, 2017, with family and friends by her bedside.

Visitation was held on June 29 at the Rowe Funeral Home in Frederic. The funeral service was held at T Trade Lake Baptist Church o on Friday, June 30 with Rev. D David Prince officiating. Org ganist was Larry Fisk.

Pallbearers were Paul L Lexen, Clayton Lexen, Jim L Lexen, Grant Lexen, Gesta L Lexen, Ian Lexen, Ethan A Ames, Arik Ames and And ders Ames.

Arleth was born on April 44, 1926 to Carl and Esther B Brask in Frederic. She attended elementary school at the one-room Spirit Lake School. After graduating from Grantsburg High School, she enrolled at Bethel College in St. Paul for two years, and then continued her plan for becoming a nurse by completing three years at the Swedish Hospital program in Minneapolis, followed by courses to become a Public Health Nurse at the University of Minnesota.

While practicing as a Public Health Nurse, Arleth attended a Bethel conference, where she met Gesta Lexen. They were married at Trade Lake Baptist Church of Frederic in 1952.

Arleth and Gesta took missionary training through the Baptist General Conference with the plan of being missionaries to Ethiopia; however, health issues prevented the realization of that. Her inability to pursue that dream was perhaps one of the few regrets she had.

Arleth and Gesta moved to the Boston, MA, area for several years, had an infant daughter who passed away, and then celebrated the birth of their second daughter. After moving to Lewiston, ME, they had three more children. After Gesta passed away in 1963, Arleth made the decision to move back to the Grantsburg area in 1964.

Arleth was a Public Health Nurse in Burnett County for several years. She then had the unique opportunity to become part of Stonecroft Ministries and was a club organizer and speaker for Christian Women’s Clubs in the five-state area until she married Maurice Erickson of Grantsburg in 1987 at Trade Lake Baptist Church.

Maurice passed away in 2001.

Arleth stayed on their farm until she moved into the Big Gust Apartments in Grantsburg. Then followed a stay at Sophie’s Manor in Centuria and, finally, her last couple of years were as a resident of the Continuing Care Center in Grantsburg.

Arleth was an active member of Trade Lake Baptist Church from childhood. She was a youth group leader, children and adult Sunday School teacher, choir member, chairperson of the Women’s Ministry and active member of numerous committees.

The development of “Trade Winds,” a church newsletter, was a fulfilling endeavor for many years. She was a member of the Northwest Wisconsin Regional Writers’ Club and published two devotional cookbooks as well as short stories, poems and articles.

She also enjoyed baking, gardening, crocheting (making a rainbow afghan for each of the grandchildren), reading and entertaining. Her love for her Lord Jesus and the Bible were passionate forces in her daily life. Family and friends rejoice that she is now with Him. She is survived by her four children, Janine (Karl) Kuckhahn of Merritt Island, FL, Arlu (Brian) Ames of Grantsburg, Tim (Jane) Lexen of Cumberland, Kyle (Kathy) Lexen of Frederic; 19 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Lucille Brask and Linnea Brask, and extended family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Esther Brask; infant daughter, Janet Lexen; siblings, Mavis (Joe) Kronberg, Harland Brask, Lorice (Irvin) Lepien, and Wade Brask; husband, Gesta Lexen; husband, Maurice Erickson; and great-granddaughter, Brynnley Post.

Siren man receives fourth OWI

BY SEAN DEVIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURENTT COUNTY— Isaac L. Jewell, 26, Siren, faces a felony bail jumping charge in Burnett County Circuit Court due to a violation of a no-drink bond (absolute sobriety). On June 28, during pre-trail for the charge, Jewell plead not guilty.

In the past five years, Jewell was arrested four times for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. The most recent violation took place on Friday, February 19, 2016.

According to public record, Jewell was found passed out in a parked, running vehicle at the intersection of Crosstown and Williams Roads.

After making multiple attempts to rouse Jewell, he awoke and was subjected to sobriety tests. According to the complaint, the dispatched officers, after several minutes, “stopped the test for his safety as he almost lost his balance.”

Jewell was then booked into the Burnett County Jail for operating while intoxicated, operating after revocation, and open intoxicants found in the vehicle.

It is reported that multiple empty beers cans were found in the vehicle at the time of the incident.

Due to previous offenses, rather than the normal alcohol concentration limit of .08, Jewell’s limit was set at .02. The night of Feb. 19, 2016, his blood alcohol level registered at 0.269.

Jewell’s three previous OWIs span from September 2012 to July 2014.

After his fourth offense, Jewell was placed on a no-drink bond.

However, on the night of Nov. 11, 2016, sources of the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department reported Jewell as to having purchased alcohol from the Sinclair Station in Grantsburg.

Detective Tracy Finch was called to the stand on June 28 during the pre-trial by the state, represented by Bill Norrine, and stated that she received video surveillance from the Sinclair station from the night of Nov. 11.

Extracted from the video is a still

shot of an individual who the State claims to be of Jewell.

Jewell allegedly purchased alcohol and was seen drinking a beer at a farm in Alpha and was later seen drinking a beer at a Burnett County bar.

The Sheriff’s Department’s source is an individual who was allegedly socially interacting with Jewell on that night and was aware of the nature of his court orders.

Mark Biller, Jewell’s attorney, claims that the still shot does not serve as adequate evidence to place Jewell in the Sinclair station on the night of Nov. 11.

He stated, “I’m not sure who could be identified from exhibit one (still shot).”

He claimed further that the features of the individual in the photo were too distorted. Biller argued that while Jewell was allegedly holding a beer can on the same night of the purchase, there is no evidence of what was in the can.

Nearing the end of the pre-trial, Judge Kutz maintained that while being in physical possession of alcohol does not necessarily violate a no-drink bond, the comments made by the Sheriff Department’s source and the still shot are enough to bind the case over for trial.

Jewell is due to appear in court at 10 a.m., Aug. 2 for a pre-trial conference regarding the bail jumping charge.

Following that date, a status conference for the OWI offense will take place at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 5.

Grantsburg woman receives fifth OWI BURNETT COUNTY—A Grantsburg woman is facing multiple charges in Burnett County Circuit Court, one being an OWI, her fifth offense.

Guadalupe Colburn, 61, stemming from the same incident, faces one count of operating a motor vehicle while revoked (misdemeanor) and one count of failure to install ignition interlock device (misdemeanor).

The incident occurred on the night of May 28 when a DNR warden encountered a vehicle coming towards him in the wrong lane on Raspberry Landing Rd. in Grantsburg Township.

According to the complaint, the warden advised the Grantsburg Police Department of the situation and an officer was dispatched to the scene.

The complaint reads, “the driver was in his [warden’s] lane and they almost collided. The driver was identified verbally as Guadalupe F. Colburn. Her driver status was revoked due to operating while intoxicated and had four prior operating while intoxicated convictions on her record and her allowable blood alcohol content was .02.”

When the officer asked Colburn to exit the vehicle, she seemed unstable on her feet. When asked how much she had to

drink that night, she responded, “too much.”

After a breathalyzer test, it was recorded that Colburn’s blood alcohol content was .215.

After booking, law enforcement discovered that Colburn’s vehicle lacked an ignition interlock device which was required as part of a previous conviction.

Colburn’s previous OWI charges all take place in Burnett County and span from 1997 to 2011.

Colburn’s next scheduled appearance is 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 9 for a preliminary hearing. Sean Devlin, Sentinel

POLICY MANUAL APPROVALS Classification Plan Administrator Ehalt presented information to be included in the Burnett County Policy Manual, Section A, Chapter 10, Classification Plan. Paragraphs 10.01 - 10.06 outlines the process to allow an employee the opportunity to have a classification reviewed.

10.1 Purpose Many of the positions in the County are similar to one another. Those positions which require similar skills, responsibility, and qualifications are given the same title and constitute a class of positions. The purpose of the classification plan is to provide a system of standardized titles and classed job descriptions for the effective administration of human resources activities such as; personnel planning and budgeting, valid selection and recruitment programs, standards of job performance, fair and equitable pay, training programs, and career development.

10.2 Development and Administration The County Administrator, in cooperation with department

heads, shall be responsible for the overall development and administration of the Classification Plan.

10.3 Development of New Positions When a new position is proposed, the following process shall be followed: 1. The department head will develop a job description, and receive approval from the appropriate committees.

2. The County Administrator will evaluate the job, assign the job to a classification, and discuss the results with the department head.

3. If the department head agrees with the classification and salary grade, the process for a new position request begins.

4. If the department head does not agree with the assigned classification and salary grade, he/she may request a review by an independent consulting firm chosen by the County Administrator and the requesting department will incur all fees associated with the review. That consulting firm will review the information and issue a final decision.

10.4 Reclassification Requests If the duties and responsibilities of a position gradually increase or decrease to the extent that they substantially exceed or fall short of the normal requirements of the class, a reclassification may be in order. The change in duties must have been evidenced for a minimum of six (6) months before reclassification can be requested. It must be understood that a classification is based on the assigned duties of the position, not the employee's qualifications or level of performance. Reclassification is not to be used as a performance award. The administrative process for reclassification requests is: A request for reclassification may be initiated by the following: 1. The employee 2. The supervisor or department head 3. The Human Resources Director The request should include the following supporting documentation: 1. Current job description 2. Reasons for the request 3. Suggested classification or pay grade 4. Indication of other positions performing closely similar work 5. Updated job description qualification in electronic format, with changes clearly identified The request is submitted to the County Administrator, by the department head for the position who will conduct a job analysis and other review. Should the request require a review by an independent consulting firm, the requesting department will incur all fees associated with this service.

The County Administrator will then present a recommendation and appropriate comments to the department head and governing committee, if necessary.

If approved, the request is submitted to the Administration Committee, if necessary for final action. If the request is disapproved, the employee may request a personal appearance before the Administration Committee.

Reclassification requests must be submitted prior to July 1st for implementation in the succeeding budget. The Administration Committee may grant exceptions in unusual circumstances.

10.5 Abolition or Change of Unnecessary Classes When it is determined that a classification is no longer useful or appropriate, the County Administrator shall recommend to the Administration Committee that said classification be abolished or changed.

10.6 Plan Review Each year, the County Administrator shall review the Classification Plan to ensure that the plan accurately reflects existing position responsibilities and maximizes the efficient use of County resources.

Motion to approve the language of Section A, Chapter 10, Classification Plan was made by Supervisor Main, seconded

by Supervisor Byrne. Motion carried, voice vote.

On Call Insurance Eligibility Administrator Ehalt presented a one sentence addition to the Burnett County Policy Manual in section 7.12 Health Insurance at the end of the paragraph: On call/standby time is not counted in determining eligibility for insurance programs offered by the County. Motion to approve the additional language was made by Supervisor Main, seconded by Supervisor Byrne. Motion carried, voice vote.

CREATION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TASKFORCE Motion to create the Economic Development Taskforce and appoint members Rick Anderson, Jeff Roberts, Joan O’Fallon, Jamie Morales and Rick Roeser was made

by Supervisor Main, seconded by Supervisor Pardun. Motion carried, voice vote.

APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL MEMBERS TO THE BURNETT COUNTY LIBRARY PLANNING COMMITTEE FOR A FIVE-YEAR TERM TO EXPIRE APRIL 2022 – PATTI MEYER, KRISTINA JOHNSON AND SHERRY MACHONES Motion to appoint Patti Meyer, Kristina Kelley-Johnson and Sherry Machones to the Burnett County Library Planning Committee for a five-year term to expire April 2022 was made

The introduction to the Declaration of Independence stated that natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s God entitles people to a separate and equal station among the powers of the earth. Next, the preamble holds these truths that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

It is important to understand that God, our Creator, is credited at the very beginning of our Declaration of Independence.

He also wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the day of the Declaration... they (the American people) were bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of the Gospel, which they nearly all, acknowledged as the rules of their conduct.

America started out actively following God and was blessed by God, but our nation is falling away from Him. We, the people of the United States of America, need to pray, obey the Word of God and, again, seek His Presence among us.
