Jokes don’t fall from the sky SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Many think a funny person is simply that, a funny person. After a comedy clip or even a live show, listeners often recall favorite lines, repeat each one to friends, and then move on. While the term comedian is accepted as the title of a profession, due to the “silliness” involved with the practice, seldom is the vigorous work of a comedian considered. We all have told jokes and listened to funny friends and family members. Laughter is an essential aspect of life. However, those who “tell jokes for a living” rarely share the process behind what they do, the artistry. Webster native, Mary Mack, has taken the time. For her, the job as a comedian has many components, some of the most important being writing, acting and business. Before a comedian, Mack is a writer. However, getting started is the hardest part for most writers. Stephen King stated in his book On Writing, “The scariest moment is always just before you start.” Mack proved this applies to her when she said, “There are so many ways to avoid your work.” Before she sits down to map out a skit, or even sketch out a few new jokes, she cleans, scowers the internet, or does anythig else to keep her away from a blank page that she hopes soon will be filled with loaded lines for her future audiences. After hovering around the job, she begins to write.

GRANTSBURG— It’s Fair time. This is true for every enthusiastic fair-goer, but for the 20-some dedicated Fair Board members, it never stops. “We both just grew into this,” Coke Scheider said, as she recalled the days of childhood when she would accompany her parents to the Agricultural Society Fair. Coke and her husband Bruce were born into Fair families, both had dairy farming parents on the Fair board. “It’s in our blood,” said Bruce. He was adamant that the Fair is a team effort, a yearround project vigorously organized by fellow board members and other happy volunteers. The board boasts several longtime enthusiasts and even some younger community members striving to keep the Fair a top-notch event. It’s a year-long commitment.

GOVERNMENT CENTER—In recent weeks, it was reported Burnett County may be one of 18 counties given the go-ahead to hire an assistant district attorney. At a recent Public Safety meeting, District Attorney Bill Norine touched on recent conversations between himself and State Senator Sheila Harsdorf regarding the bill that would make this possible. Norine expressed excitement for the bill; however, it will not be until 2019 that anything further will be known. If passed, the legislation will give Norine “complete authority to hire” an assistant in January 2019.

FAIR: Gearing up for the 140th Burnett County Ag. Soc. Fair, Aug. 24 - 27

DEMOLITION DERBY While not necessarily new, this event is a quintessential piece of the Fair puzzle. This year, the derby begins at 7 p.m. Friday. “We will have power wheel demos for the kids and even a lawnmower derby,” said Bruce. After these two events, the multiple classes for the demolition derby will begin. While not much will be different from previous years, the board is excited to introduce a “two-man” class in the derby.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

After the festivities simmer in late August and a short break in fall, the board is back at work and meet the first Thursday of every month and then more frequently as the days roll off the calendar. “It takes many more hours than 98% of people realize,” said Bruce with a laugh. All the work this year has led to the board introducing new events for the 140th Burnett County Agricultural Society Fair. GRANDSTAND The new Friday night Grandstand event will feature the Ultimate Truck series. To put it simply, monster trucks. The group is out of Minnesota and the Scheiders are confident the fast, muddy show will not disappoint. However, perhaps the biggest draw for this new event is the local talent that will participate. “We’re excited to have local participants, we think that will bring in a good crowd,” said Bruce. After the show, trucks will be on display and audience members can get a close-up of the trucks and even meet some drivers.

Naomi Scheider shows off her calf at last year’s Little Britches judging.

SENIOR CITIZEN DAY From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, before the revving of engine fills the air, senior citizens will enjoy a plethora of activities like polka and old country music, free pie and ice cream, and “bingo under the big tent.” Also, the “century club,” those 100 and older, will be recognized by the County Aging Department at 2 p.m.

“Little Britches” judging will begin for contestants in the cattle barn at 2 p.m. Following, families can settle in for the classic parade and, this year, “Pickles” the Clown, the balloon animal specialist will make an appearance. Pickles will be on the grounds throughout the afternoon performing balloon art and even comedy.

FAMILY FUN DAY From noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, the board has planned extra events for families to enjoy. In the big tent, free ice cream cones for the kids will be available which will soon be followed by a sawdust pile and face painting.

SUNDAY Some new events will be available come Sunday. The classic car show beings at 9 a.m. at the Fairgrounds and will carry folks into the early afternoon when the new Farmers’ Market and craft show will be up and running until 3 p.m.

The Fair, the celebration of Burnett County’s character, is an event for young, old and all in between. It’s a time for parents to watch their children make fond, tender memories. If the Fair had a mission statement it would be, “for the kids,” said Coke, which Bruce followed with “and the community.” “I’d say my favorite part is the Lego building contest,” said Levi, the eight-year-old and three-year grand champion grandchild of Bruce of Coke. “I brought my calf,” said five-year-old Naomi, Levi’s sister. Naomi already has quite a bit of practice showing her calf at the “Little Britches” show. She will be ready for the 4-H contests very soon. This year the board is introducing wristband deals. Standard wristbands ($20) are offered on pre-sale locally and are good for one of three four-hour blocks: Thursday 6-10, Friday and Saturday 1-5. However, the biggest deal comes with the super wristband. This gets fair-goers unlimited rides all weekend and costs $50 at the Fair and $40 in advance. Check www.grantsburgfair.com for details. The 140th Burnett County Agricultural Society Fair begins August 24 and spans through the weekend. “We have a pretty full agenda this year. It was a board effort,” said Bruce.

Paint me I’ve been trying to explore different types of art. It’s not hard to do, but I generally look, admire and then end up back with my favorite form lulling thoughts from the day away as I fall into the depths of a story. So much of my time is spent reading up on writers, spending time with their growing online biographies after each publication. And, of course, hunting funny facts about the classics. Virginia Woolf is said to have been quite the cricketer! I’ve spent hours in the white lungs of art museums, never taking for granted the ability of a painting to distinguish any trace of sound save for the ones it evokes. But, I have yet to attempt another form of art other than writing. It’s not that I’m bored with it – frustrated, yes – but never bored (however, editing can fill you with more rage Sentinel than stepping on a Lego, barefoot in the middle of the night). Editor For just over a year now I’ve been Sean Devlin following an artist so uncanny to any other I’ve come across. Alexa Meade. “A radical approach to portraiture... Transforming 3D reality into 2D abstraction,” is how VICE describes her. Simply, she paints on humans and objects until they appear completely fabricated. She removes the shadows. Meade was never trained as a painter. She just thought about shadows and spaces. “I didn’t have to think of painting as this thing on canvas, because I didn’t have any practice doing that. I just saw paint as something that can be used in space, not just on a flat plane,” she explained to a Guardian reporter... who she was painting at the time. If I had space I’d provide a picture. It doesn’t seem difficult, we’ve all seen face painting. I urge you to see for yourself. In a way, it’s art in reverse. We want paintings to come to life, but she paints people and objects, like toast, out of reality to appear stationary. I enjoy studying her photos; however, what’s more intriguing is the thought behind it, her curiosity to use literally anything as a canvas. She provides physical layers to humans by painting a face upon a real face, a psychologist could have a field day with this. “She has captured all the little details in my face. The surreal thrill, she explains, is that you’re looking at the representation of something by the artist but also at the thing itself – she’s merged the representation and what it references,” states the reporter. Since you can’t buy the actual paintings (sorry, no purchasing people), she photographs her work. Take a look at http://alexameade.com/. Now, I don’t know if this is the art form I’ll experiment with, but I doubt I’ll ever cease to admire her curiosity and luminous art. Have a look. Chat soon. editor@burnettcountysentinel.com, 715-463-2341.

Tora, Tora! BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

I heard from some friends north of the Twin Cities on Thursday that they had snow when that cold front came through. Yes, snow. I got an inch and a half of rain at my house, welcome moisture for the yard and plants. My wife has been busy this spring and summer in the yard, adding some perennial plants and flowers. We had friends give her hostas and lilies and she divided some of our many hosta plants as well. From the My wife has the green thumb in the Publisher’s family. I’m lucky if I don’t mow the Desk flowers. (I ask now if I’m unsure.) I remember one of the first times I visitTom Stangl ed my future in-laws, I offered to help h lawn. l mow the I wanted to make a good impression on my future father-in-law. He welcomed my help and had me do some of the trimming, using the push mower in places where the lawn tractor couldn’t go. One of the spots he had me mow had some plants that looked like weeds. I happily complied. It turns out I was a pawn in an ongoing conflict between my future in-laws. There were some poppies that Jerry, the husband, didn’t like, but Mary, the wife, fiercely defended. My offer of help provided a golden opportunity to widen the conflict. Boy, was Mary mad while Jerry cackled with delight. Welcome to the family. I give my wife’s plants a wide berth. I may be dumb, but I’m not stupid. This summer, she has been enjoying her time outdoors, grateful for the free plants. She has the yard

looking really nice, but there’s a fly, er, beetle in the ointment that’s the source of great irritation. Japanese beetles have been feasting on the new plants, existing plants and even our birch tree. We noticed the strange looking bugs in late June. They feed on the leaves of plants, eating all of the vegetation, leaving a literal shell of the leaf, as if the frame and veins of the leaf remain like lattice work. They are voracious eaters and can cause a great deal of damage, even to the point of killing plants. The first thing we had to do was identify what these creatures were. After doing some online searches, we knew what they were and set about finding ways to combat the problem without damaging the plants or the environment. My wife used Dawn dishwashing liquid, diluted in some water, sprayed directly on to the insects. It worked well on the immediate threat. We learned that it has been a bad year for beetles, who hatch from eggs in the ground and begin devouring all sorts of plants. The warmer winter and wetter spring provided an ideal climate for the beetles to thrive, much to our dismay. My wife learned that other friends had been using a pheromone based trap to lure adult beetles to their eventual death in a plastic bag. We found a couple of these traps, figured out how to put them up and the enemy has been dying, corpses piling up in the hourglass shaped plastic bag. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to vanquish your enemy and preserve your home at the same time. Now, about those rabbits that are eating the hostas… 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. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Are we at Civil War? To the Editor: Attention President Trump and Congress: Put domestic focus on “We The People,” from Rural Main Street. 1. The past election is over. Get over it. Stop the witch hunt and character assignations. Get to our problems and solutions, which is why we elected you. After six months, all we find is kids fighting but with no results. If your mindset is to continue the “We vs. They,” then let’s bring back dueling, Olympic format, to settle disagreements. 2. Start reducing the $20 trillion in debt by reducing the $65 billion for foreign wars. In the Middle East, let them lead and fight and we support only by air and sea. Stop shedding American blood in foreign lands. 3. Healthcare. As Governor Walker says, “The best way to repeal and replace Obamacare is to give each state the resources and responsibility for healthcare.” Specifically, provide each state with an adequately funded block grant as well as full responsibility for decisions regarding healthcare and health insurance coverage. Governors and other state leaders are more effective, more efficient and more accountable to the public. Adequately funded block grants to the states should hold Medicaid expansion states harmless while providing some parity to no expansion states. Giving states full responsibility allows decisions to be made closer to the people so they can accommodate state and regional needs as opposed to a one-size-fits-all mentality from Washington. 4. Find solutions for prescription costs, a form like Rx Outreach which is low cost with larger purchases. 5. Try to adopt the meaning of TEAM: “Together Everyone Accomplishes More.” All of one type of people do not make a good team. The blending of many types makes the best TEAM. Can you blend people types for our results? 6. Releasing people from their positions. How would you like to be replaced? Everyone wants to know where they stand. Do quarterly reviews started by the worker, stating goals to be accomplished. Get in sync and try to stay there. If not, lay down a correction plan. If that fails, then notify the non-performer that they have two weeks to find other employment and accept their resignation. Stop this “You are fired” stuff. It usually creates blow-back and even death. 7. Stop asking for donations all the time. Money for media use that is not truthful, unless everything is fact-checked before release and states such. Richard A. Hess Grantsburg

In today’s world, automobiles are an important and necessary part of everyday life for most of us. Vehicles require motor oil to run properly. To keep a vehicle running well, an owner should change the vehicle’s motor oil and fluids regularly as defined by the manufacturer. With regular maintenance comes a responsibility to know how and where to properly recycle used motor oil and associated vehicle fluids within your local community. Earth According to the American Petroleum Institute (API), more than 600 Notes million gallons of motor oil are purJen Barton chased each year. Over half of this amount (345 million gallons) is purchased by the “do-it-yourself” vehicle owner (D-I-Yers) – those who change their own oil. As a D-I-Y oil changer, you can have a positive impact on your local environment by properly handling and recycling your used motor oil and vehicle fluids. Remember, by law you cannot dispose of used motor oil in a landfill or other field. CONTAMINATED OIL HAS VALUE According to the U.S. EPA, used motor oil is any petroleum-based or synthetic oil that was used for vehicle lubrication. As a result of normal use, motor oil becomes contaminated with various impurities such as dirt, water, chemicals or metals from your engine. It may contain additives (e.g. rust inhibitors), contaminants (e.g. heavy metals generated through engine wear), be potentially carcinogenic, contain aromatic compounds (from the fuel combustion process), or leaked glycol from the cooling system. Because of these “impurities,” used motor oil should be handled with care and disposed of correctly to ensure the safety of the local community, environment and waterways. Used motor oil is also a valuable energy resource. A large portion of the used motor oil collected is reprocessed into fuel that is burned in furnaces, turbines, power plants and manufacturing facilities to provide heat and electricity. To put this into perspective, according to the EPA, two gallons of used motor oil can generate enough electricity to: power the average home for one day, cook 48 meals in a microwave oven, blow dry a person’s hair at least 216 times, vacuum a

house for 15 months, or watch television for 180 hours.

KEEPING OIL OUT OF WATERWAYS Why is it important to keep oil out of our waterways? Proper recycling will ensure that used motor oil does not make its way into local surface and groundwater resources. Should oil get into the environment, it can quickly pollute large amounts of water. According to the EPA, one gallon of motor oil can: create an oil slick on surface water up to eight acres in size, contaminate one million gallons of freshwater (that is a year’s supply of water for 50 people), and render a four-acre area of soil unusable for planting for decades. Also, used oil is insoluble, slow to degrade, and very sticky which poses a health threat to humans, plants, animals and the environment. If you are pouring used motor oil on the ground, into a storm drain or throwing it in your trash can (even in a sealed container), you are improperly disposing of your used motor oil. According to the U.S. EPA, over 40 percent of our nation’s oil pollution comes from the improper disposal of used motor oil by DIYers. Recycling used motor oil keeps oil out of landfills and ensures that this oil is available for re-use, reconditioning, reprocessing or re-refining. From a purely environmental point of view, the best thing that the motor oil consumer can do is to buy a longer-lasting oil. In that way, less used oil is generated in the first place.

OIL RECYCLING LOCATIONS IN OUR AREA More than 380 million gallons of used oil is recycled each year according to the U.S. EPA, which is over 50 percent of all motor oil purchased annually. Used motor oil is accepted for recycling at a number of places in the region including Karl Anderson Auto in Grantsburg, O’Reilly’s Auto Stores in Siren and Grantsburg, Bruce’s Auto in Webster, Spooner Auto Laundry and an oil recycling receptacle at Lake Area Landfill in Sarona. Call your local auto mechanic and find out if he/she is accepting used oil. Currently, the Cleansweep events do not accept used motor oil, but other vehicle fluids are accepted. If you have questions about recycling or hazardous waste disposal, please contact Jen at jbarton@nwrpc. com, or 715-635-2197.

Computer workshop held for County 4-H’ers SENTINEL ARCHIVE FROM WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1982

Sentinel ‘82

Yesterday’s News

The Burnett County 4-H Association launched a “first of a kind” in 4-H project work and career development. Computer science and computer programming is more than just playing games on a computer; it is learning and making use of a computer language known as BASIC (Basic All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) to write useful computer programs and graphic illustrations. Thirty Burnett County 4-H members, ranging from 10 to 16 years old, participated in a week-long work/lab at the Siren High School to learn programming techniques from Mr. James Adams, Chetek School District computer science teacher, and Mr. Russell Kiecker, Burnett County UW-Ext. agent. Kiecker, coordinator of the workshop, said that the workshop was a cooperative effort of the Burnett County 4-H Leaders Association and the UW-Stout Continuing Education Department. Each school district in Burnett County has micro computers. These 4-H members will now be able to extend what

they have learned into their classrooms when they return to school this fall. A 4-H compute program contest is planned in the spring of 1983 to provide an opportunity for 4-H members to display their skills and learn from other 4-H computer programmers. A computer workshop of this magnitude is a first for the 4-H program in the State of Wisconsin. Traditionally, 4-H is regarded as a rural oriented youth program. However, in the last decade, 4-H has offered more and more non-rural projects attracting all youth regardless of their residence. Burnett County 4-H youth attending the 60-hour workshop include: Ricky Kosloski, Mike Bilden, John Kiecker, Kelly Luke, Peter Sandberg, Tim Nelson, Richard Pierce, Jamie Johnson, Shiela Pierce, April Mangelsen, Larry Mangelsen, Charlie Hahr, Mary Ann Smith, Cass Shell, Jamie Rypkema, Tom Johnson, Tonja Lindquist, David Kopecky, Scott McLain, Brian Kinziger, Peder Olsen, Mike Melton, Frank Samuelson, Greg Jorgensen, Holly McAbee, Dale Bistram, Mark Dewing and Clint Shell.

Corn, soybean crops look ‘very promising’ in Burnett County BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

BURNETT COUNTY—Prospects are high for good or even bumper crops of corn, soybeans and small grains in Burnett County, but there is a big “IF” to that prediction, says Agricultural Development Educator Kevin Schoessow of the Spooner Ag Station: we need some hot weather. “Given all the moisture we have had, the standing crops are looking awfully nice in the field, but we are behind in heat units,” Schoessow says. “In order to achieve plant maturity to make a top crop, we need some hot weather and a late frost. “The old saying in farming is, ‘It doesn’t count until the crop is the bin or until the check is in your hand.’” The warmer and longer growing season from now into late September would help the crops reach their highest potential, and dry it down so we can

get it off the field, Schoessow says. “It’s been a very comfortable summer for us humans, but the crops love those hot, sticky days. We need more hot days for crops because we are behind in heating degree days. We just have to cross our fingers that Mother Nature will shine down faithfully on us to help the crops mature and complete the harvest.” Ag stations at Spooner and across the country track “growing degree days” every day during the growing season, including the high and low daily temps, the average high, etc. “It’s a formula we have been using for a long time to track heat units and growing conditions for any particular time during the growing season,” Schoessow says. “Right now, we are about 300 heat units behind average. That tells us it’s been a more-moisture, cooler-temperature growing season. We haven’t had the scorching, 90-degree stretches of days that help the crops really take off.

Burnett County corn and soybean crops are looking tall and beautiful, but need more heat and an extended fall growing season to reach peak maturity.

“Farmers are great at growing the crops, they do all the management they need to – adding nutrients, managing weeds and more – but Mother Nature has the final say,” Schoessow said. “The cold and wet early spring delayed planting in some areas, but the adequate moisture and good weather has helped produce a fine standing crop, but in this next six weeks we need some heat,” Schoessow emphasized. “Otherwise we may have corn at harvest that isn’t fully mature or at a moisture level higher than normal at harvest. Another shot of rain in the next week or two would help with ear fill on the corn and maximize the plant’s yield potential.” USDA weekly report The week ending Sunday, Aug. 6 had 4.8 days suitable for fieldwork according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Timely rains in July and early August have supported corn pollination and soybeans are setting pods. Some farm reporters note uneven maturity and condition persist in fields. Clear weather early last week allowed farmers to make good progress on combining small grains, baling hay and harvesting forages. “We’re getting reports of above-average yields on spring wheat and winter rye,” Schoessow said. A day-long rain on Thursday, Aug. 3 slowed fieldwork but brought timely moisture to many areas, with some ar-

eas around Grantsburg receiving about three inches of gentle rain during the day and into the overnight hours. Topsoil moisture supplies are now rated 81 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus, and only four percent short or very short. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated at 84 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus. As of Sunday, 80 percent of Wisconsin’s corn has reached the silking stage or beyond, eight days behind last year’s very early planting season. Soybean condition is rated 75 percent good to excellent, with 87 percent of the state’s soybeans blooming and 61 percent were setting pods, one day ahead of average. Oats turning color was reported at 90 percent. Harvesting of oats for grain was reported at 28 percent complete. Oats condition was 80 percent good to excellent. Pasture condition was 78 percent good to excellent. Winter wheat harvested was reported at 74 percent complete, five days behind last year. Winter wheat rated 77 percent good to excellent condition, two percentage points below last week. The second cutting of alfalfa reached 95 percent complete, seven days behind last year but equal to the average. The third cutting was reported at 53 percent complete, four days behind last year, but two days ahead of average. A fourth cutting has started in some areas. All hay condition was reported 81 percent good to excellent.

GOVERNMENT CENTER—Burnett County Emergency Management Director Jim Tolbert and the Sheriff’s Department Dispatch Center have begun monthly testing of the county’s storm and tornado warning siren system. The first test was conducted about 1 p.m. Monday, Aug. 7. All of the county’s storm sirens are controlled and activitated through the Sheriff Department’s Dispatch Center, not the local fire departments. Tolbert said the storm sirens will be tested at 1 p.m. on the first Monday of each month from April through September, which is the normal “possible tornado season” in Burnett County. Tolbert added the 1 p.m. first Monday storm siren test will be canceled on any first Monday a storm is threatening. Previously, the system was tested on occasion. Now, the monthly tornado season test has been formalized by Burnett County Dispatch. Questions may be directed to the non-emergency Dispatch Office phone number at 715-349-2121.

Why not sooner? While no definite answer is known, many suspect the 2019 date is due to hopeful senators not wanting to rush this bill, but rather allow it to gather support and a comfortable spot in a future state budget. Last Friday marked Norine’s ninth year in the position. “It shouldn’t be a one-man show anywhere,” Norine said. In the past six months, approximately 750 criminal cases have been filed in the county, including nearly 200 felonies. These numbers do not reflect the number of prosecutions; however, they reflect the caseload Norine and the “quarter-time” assistant District Attor-

ney Dan Steffen are dealing with. Burnett County Victim Witness Coordinator Darlene Treague said, “I think it has been a long overdue recognition to Burnett County that we need more prosecutorial help.” She added, “I don’t think many individuals who fortunately never have to deal with court matters realize the frustrations and demanding work of law enforcement, the District Attorney’s Office, Department of Health and Human Services, and then through the Circuit Court.” Norine mentioned this bill will help “distressed counties” lighten the load on stretched-thin district attorneys.

Then, the creative and experienced juices begin to flow and she remembers, “the writing is my favorite part.” Now, 14 years into her comedic career, Mack has voiced multiple cartoon characters, appeared on shows like “Conan,” aired on multiple nationally known podcasts such as “The Bob & Tom Show” and, of course, she was a contestant on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” Because of fame, her schedule is busy enough. However, Mack has more responsibility on her shoulders than generating content. “Much of my day is spent managing my office,” she said. In recent years, she has become her own manager. Despite being famous all over the country, Mack states her target audiences are the midwestern regions of the U.S. and Canada— areas sometimes ignored by coastal agents. Mack must carve out time to write based on the schedules of booking agents, venue owners and others that demand her time. The constant travel also throws a hitch in the writing gears. However, like a true artist, she can get creative with anything. Mack organizes what she calls accountabilibuddy meetings, a term she borrows from an episode of “South Park,” an animated American sitcom. These meetings consist of comedians, authors, friends, or anybody who needs the time and structured setting to write. They meet in coffee shops, libraries and homes, wherever Mack is, in order to generate the most important part of the job, the words. From there on it’s open-mics. With a well known stage-name, Mack is welcome just about anywhere and large crowds generally follow. “You go and fail a lot,” she said referring to the practice of comedy. Mack will generally perform at numer-

ous venues in order to get a skit right, sometimes up to 50 times. After each gig, she sits and transcribes her performance and edits line by line until she feels it’s ready for a big stage. “A couple of times I paid a lady to transcribe my tapes. That’s when you know you’re sick of yourself,” she said with a laugh. After the writing, rewriting and organizing her schedule with agents, she gets up on the stage and lays out her work. However, other than her classic midwestern voice and stories about the woodsy regions of northwest Wisconsin, part of her charm is her off-the-cuff style. “I just try to seem like I don’t know what I’m going to say next. That’s how I think a show seems good; if the person just thought of it.” She continued, “If a show seems plotted out, there isn’t an element of surprise or any discovery with the crowd.” Mack explained that one negative comment after a show ended up being a compliment after one woman was upset that “it seemed like she just didn’t know what to say next.” Mary Mack will return to the area to perform her newest hour of stand-up at 7 p.m. Friday, August 11 at St. Croix Falls Dancing Dragonfly Winery. Tickets are $25 at the door or $20 in advance, available at 715-4839463 or online at www.dancingdragonflywinery.com. A $40 “Reserve” ticket is also offered, and includes a glass of wine, special seating, appetizer plate and dessert. Mack’s next album will be titled Mrs. Taco Man, inspired by the many taco-Tuesdays of Burnett County— a place she is grateful to have grown up. “I’m just so grateful for people who still support me even if we don’t all share the same viewpoints. We still all want good things for people. We have that common childhood experience, the rural experience that we have in common and can laugh about.”

Tesora offers local teen employment and education SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL..COM

SIREN—Not many teens are so confident or even realistic in their dreams of a career. Caleb Johnson is—he is going to be a chef. “It began with baking with my grandmother when I was six or seven,” Johnson said when detailing the origin of his love for the kitchen life. Two years ago he began as a dishwasher at Tesora and has since graduated to preparing meals for patrons. Johnson can be seen many nights of the week cooking pizzas in Tesora’s iconic brick oven located behind the bar. He also spends time on the broil and preparing salads and desserts. The restaurant doesn’t open to the public until four, but Johnson usually arrives for his summertime shifts around 1 p.m. “I like to spend a lot of time here. If I could be anywhere, it would be here or with my friends,” he said. Those friends he mentioned come in from time to time to enjoy pizzas cooked by Johnson. While this high school kid is not technically training to become a chef just yet, Johnson does work closely with Chef Andy Peloquin. “He is alway eager to learn and willing to help out. It is great to see someone so young with so much passion. He does a good job,” said Peloquin. Proactive in his quest to become a chef, Johnson is never seen just standing around. “When I’m done prepping my station or have a couple minutes of free time, I like to watch what the other cooks are doing,” he said.

SEAN DEVLIN | SENTINEL

Caleb Johnson of Grantsburg preparing a pizza to place in Tesora’s brick oven.

In addition to observing, Johnson challenges himself outside of work to perfect flavor combinations and cooking techniques. “Sometimes I’ll practice a dish by going to the grocery store, getting the ingredients I need and cook at home.” Recently, Tesora hosted Iron Chef of America Mario Rizzotti on his “4 the Love of Italian Food” tour. Johnson, along with many other Tesora employees, were present and working under the watchful eye of Rizzotti and Chef Adam Weisell. That event is what partially inspired Johnson to experiment more with Italian foods. Peloquin even gifted Johnson with a new pasta maker.

“I’ve been making Fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti, lasagna all from scratch,” he said. This coming fall, Johnson will begin his junior year at Grantsburg High School. He plans to work at Tesora for the next two years with the hopes of traveling to Europe, mainly France and Italy, the summer following graduation. “Maybe I’ll learn a few dishes over in Italy. I want to widen my varieties.” When asked about the possibility of culinary school, Johnson did not rule it out but did say that many people, including Rizzotti, informed him he is better off on the job, learning and practicing in places like Tesora if he wants to become a chef in a larger city someday.

“I’m already gaining a lot of knowledge and the skills I’ll have to have when I do become a chef,” said Johnson. While he feels cooking can be almost meditative, he explained there is more to it. “It is very high-tempo. There is a lot of stress in the back especially during the dinner rush. People can be on edge when it’s busy. “But, when it’s all said and done, there is a certain feeling of soldiers at war who keep each other upbeat despite the difficulty of their circumstance here. We shut down together and we leave together.” He continued, “I love cooking here. It’s cooking for a purpose. There is a deeper meaning to the food here, we are more connected to it because we practice these dishes every day. And, many of these dishes are ones you can only find here.” With the support of his family, close friends, Chef Andy and others, Johnson is sure he will be able to live out his dream of being a chef. “This is what I’m going to do with the rest of my life,” he said. This determined 16-year-old hopes someday to branch out and cook in upscale restaurants in the Twin Cities or even Upstate New York. Until then, Johnson can be found dilignetly improving his skills in the fine kitchen of Tesora. This is another im a series of stories about what one of your neighbors is up to.

Former Frederic library director charged with possession of child pornography

images of suspected child pornography from Green’s personal hard drive. Thirty-five of the thirty-eight images were immediately sent to be analyzed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the results of which were received by Polk County investigators on July 13. Of them, 15 images were verified as real child victims. Green was charged with 15 counts of possession of child pornography on July 28. He could receive as much as 45 years imprisonment and $1.5 million in fines if found guilty. His initial appearance in Polk County Circuit Court is scheduled for Sept. 5.

JESSICA DE LA CRUZ EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM

FREDERIC—Eight months after authorities seized electronic evidence from both his home and place of employment, former Frederic Library Director 33-year-old Eric Green has been officially charged with 15 counts of possession of child pornography— and terminated from his position. Green was placed on paid administrative leave after the investigation began in November, and was officially terminated on July 31, 2017— three days after charges were filed by the Polk County District Attorney. Green had been employed by the Frederic Library since March 21, 2016. The investigation began as file sharing activity in Waukesha originally led investigators to Green in Polk County. A seven a.m. search warrant was served at Green’s home on November 15. Police forced entry into the residence to find Green, who lives alone, standing in his kitchen. During questioning Green indicated that the only pornography he would have searched for would have been legal pornography and denied any involvement in possession of child pornography. Green went on to express concern over how long things would take, saying that he needed to drop off budget information that was due at the library, which would only take 10 minutes. His behavior prompted an additional search warrant of electronics at the Frederic Public Library where a hard drive was also seized for evaluation. Because of search terms found on Green’s personal hard drive, all evidence was submitted to the state crime lab for a complete digital forensic review. The analysis of that review didn’t get to Polk County

Included in the complaint was information that Green had installed a digital ‘shredding’ program on his computer that would render digital files unreadable, as well as a specialized router than enabled anonymous communication over the internet. The cell phones reportedly contained search terms related to child pornography, as well as several visits to pre-teen image sites.

In a New Light Gallery to host student ﬁlm premier from Panama expedition WEBSTER—“Northwest Passage Expeditions,” Northwest Passage’s newest therapeutic program for students ages 18-24, has spent the past month on a filmmaking expedition in Panama. Mentored by Sachi Cunningham, a renowned San Fransisco-based documentary filmmaker and photographer, the students created a series of short documentary films about “Blue Mind,” the emotional and psychological benefits of being in or near water. The students will show their films and talk about their experiences at 3:30 to 5:30 p.m Wednesday, Aug. 16 at the In a New Light Gallery in Webster. The event is free and open to the public. “The students have accomplished something extraordinary” said Ben Thwaits, coordinator of the program. “Not only have they mastered advanced skills as documentary filmmakers in less than a month, they also integrated themselves within a new community and a new culture to find some truly fascinating people and stories. “Their films are powerful and moving, and they’re expressing new and important ideas. The experience is transformative on so many levels.” After a 10-day orientation in Wisconsin, the students spent nearly a month based on Panama’s Azuero Peninsula, where they explored the region to spend time with people whose lives are centered on the water, from local fisherman to champion surfing celebrities. With each, they explored the nature of their connection to the water. While the expedition focused on filmmaking, the students’ therapeutic experience was the primary objective. “Adventure is inherently therapeutic” says Thwaits. “Sometimes you have to remove yourself from the life you know in order to more clearly see the life

that is waiting for you.” The expedition to Panama was funded in part by the generous contribution of Darby and Geri Nelson. With locations in the northwestern Wisconsin communities of Frederic and Webster, Northwest Passage offers comprehensive residential mental health services to young people with the aim of restoring dignity, emotional wholeness and a sense of self worth. Northwest Passage Expeditions is a new, adventure-based program that partners world-class explorers, artists and scientists with mental health professionals to lead therapeutic expeditions around the world for 18- to 24-year-olds. Learn more at www. northwestpassageexpeditions.org. As a documentary filmmaker, Ms. Sachi Cunningham’s stories have screened at festivals worldwide and on outlets including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, PBS Frontline and the Discovery Channel. Awards including Emmys, Webbys, and Pictures of the Year International have honored Cunningham’s work. A graduate of UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University, Cunningham’s documentaries focus on international conflict, the arts, disability, and the ocean environment. On land, she has turned her lens everywhere from the first presidential election in Afghanistan, to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In the water, she has swum with her camera along side everything from 350-pound blue fin tuna, to big wave surfers, to Olympian Michael Phelps. Once an assistant to actress Demi Moore and Director/Producer/Writer Barry Levinson, Cunningham brings a decade of experience in feature films and commercial productions in New York, Hollywood and Tokyo to her career in journalism and filmmaking.

Grantsburg hockey assoc. hopes to transform ice rink SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG— A group of excited individuals think it is time to upgrade the Grantsburg hockey rink into a Community Sports Complex. These individuals are the 20 people who make up the non-profit Grantsburg Youth Hockey Association. Board President McKenna Marek and the rest of the board have outlined a fundraising time-line in order to raise $250,000 to implement a concrete slab, re-purposed/removable boards, and routine maintenance that all together will serve to transform this one-sport facility into multi-purpose complex to benefit the community. They hope to attract donors and raise the money by April or May of 2018. Marek explained the idea for the Community Sports Complex is based on community connectiviness, health and the empowerment of youth. “Once the new complex is complete, we will be able to host a variety of new youth events, practices and activities ranging from baseball, softball, basketball, golf and volleyball all inside a remarkable facility.” In addition to available space for other sports, plans to develop a larger concession stand, provide a photo/video loft, and add insulation are in the plans for the modernization of the facility. Marek also hopes to partner with the Grantsburg School District in the event that space becomes limited at school facilities at any point.

“This community does not have enough space to provide our youth with the adequate space to participate in these sports,” she said. She added, “This could be the open door to help our youth stay active.” This complex would not be privatized for the hockey association and the school, but rather the idea is to have it serve as a communal space for any community individual and organization to utilize for different events, like athletics, concerts and more. These venues are not uncommon and the board hopes community members will see the benefits of rejuvenating the arena into a year-round community center. As a starter, the board developed a new mission statement: To provide the youth of our community the ability to learn, grow, and develop their athletic skills in a fun and safe environment. This plan is in its infancy and any potential donors are urged to contact the board via email, grantsburghockey@ gmail.com.

Local hockey program update: This coming year, in addition to the regular travel program, Grantsburg is offering a “rejuvenated local hockey program for all youth.” Included in this effort will be limited practices, local games, free to low registration cost, and a limited supply of equipment. Registration for both programs begins in September. More information will be provided in Friday Folders through the school system.

Author Mary DesJarlais to speak at Webster Library

WEBSTER—Minnesota Author Mary DesJarlais will speak and autograph copies of her book, Dorie LaValle, A Minnesota Story of Moonshine and Murder at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 17 at Larsen Family Public Library in Webster. DesJarlais says she “fell in love with the art of creative writing in 1969, in the fifth grade at a small Catholic elementary school in a suburb of Minneapolis.” She continues, “Ms. Brown was our teacher and we all agreed she was just the coolest thing to land in our midst – a parochial school populated by elderly nuns.” Mary discovered she loved to write and “make things up.” She went on to take writing classes in college. Eventually, she was awarded a Minnesota State Arts Board grant, took classes at the University of Iowa Summer Writing Program and joined the Blue Moon Writing Group. She lives in Minnesota. A book synopsis: Born on the first day of 1900, Dorie finds herself at odds with the world and out of options. When she married Louie LaValle, a local man with an inherited farm but without the talent or stamina to run it, Dorie is anchored in poverty, childless and tied to someone she doesn’t love. Prohibition and desperation inspire Dorie to make and sell moonshine to the men in town. Soon, she makes more money than she ever dreamt possible. To expand production, she enlists freewheeling Victor who builds a secret distillery in the woods. When Victor appears at her door with a gunshot wound, describing an ambush at the still, it’s up to Dorie to protect her future – and Victor – against angry neighbors, a zealous sheriff and the Chicago mob.

HOW A WATER SOFTENER SYSTEM WORKS • Water softeners use a negative charged ion exchanged resin to collect the impurities from your water. The resin becomes charged when it mixes with a sodium solution. So the salt in the water softener isn’t what softens the water; it is what enables the resin to collect and remove the hardness from your water. • The EcoWater reﬁner softens your water, and it also removes the chlorine taste and odor, which is often a result of water treated by cities and municipalities.

Rep. Dana Wachs to run for governor EAU CLAIRE—State Rep. Dana Wachs announced Monday he is challenging Gov. Scott Walker in the 2018 election. The Eau Claire attorney is the most well-known Democrat so far to commit to a run against the GOP incumbent. Wachs, who turns 60 this month, calls himself an outstate alternative to a party that has run three unsuccessful races against Walker with candidates

from Milwaukee and Madison. “The voices of regular folks just aren’t being heard,” Wachs said in an interview. “I don’t think Madison is listening.” In announcing his run, Wachs joins Milwaukee businessman and entrepreneur Andy Gronik who committed last month to a run as a Democrat.

Preventative Care makes a difference SUBMITTED BY BRITTANY FRY, BS, MPH BURNETT COUNTY DHHS PUBLIC HEALTH SPECIALIST

Did you know that rural Americans are at greater risk for preventative conditions? These include the five leading causes of death: â&#x20AC;˘ Heart disease â&#x20AC;˘ Cancer â&#x20AC;˘ Unintentional injuries â&#x20AC;˘ Chronic lower respiratory disease, and â&#x20AC;˘ Stroke However, seeing your healthcare provider can make a difference. Scheduling a wellness exam is one way they can help prevent these and other serious health conditions before they become chronic conditions. A wellness exam is a type of preventative care that can identify multiple health concerns and assist you with making educated health decisions. The screenings and tests can vary by age and lifestyle. Seeing a healthcare provider regularly at any age can help to recognize and correct health issues immediately before they become more challenging to address and treat.

Court keeps Great Lakes wolves on endangered species list BY JOHN FLESHER AP ENVIRONMENTAL WRITER

TRAVERSE CITY (AP)—A federal appeals court Tuesday retained federal protection for gray wolves in the western Great Lakes region, ruling that the government made crucial errors when it dropped them from the endangered species list five years ago. The court upheld a district judge who overruled the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which had determined that wolves in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin had recovered after being shot, trapped and poisoned nearly out of existence in the previous century. They’ve bounced back and now total about 3,800. Even so, courts have sided with environmental groups led by the Humane Society of the United States, which have sued to block the service’s repeated efforts to strip wolves in the region of their protected status and put states in charge of them. The service made its latest attempt in 2011. U.S. Judge Beryl A. Howell struck down the plan three years later. In a 3-0 ruling Tuesday, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the service had

not sufficiently considered important factors. They included how loss of historical territory would affect the predator’s recovery and how removing the Great Lakes population segment from the endangered list would affect wolves in other parts of the nation. As long as wolves are on the protected list, they cannot be killed unless human life is at risk. That means the three states cannot resume the hunting and trapping seasons they had when wolves were under their control. A spokeswoman for the Fish and Wildlife Service had no immediate comment. The same court took wolves in Wyoming off the endangered list in May. Environmental advocates cheered the ruling on Great Lakes wolves, saying they remain vulnerable despite their comeback in recent decades. “The second highest court in the nation reaffirmed that we must do much more to recover gray wolves before declaring the mission accomplished,” said Noah Greenwald, endangered species program director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Wolves are still missing from more than 90 percent of their historic range in the lower 48 states, and both the Endangered Species Act and

common sense tell us we can’t ignore that loss.” Organizations representing farmers and ranchers, who want authority to shoot wolves preying on livestock, have long pushed to drop them from the federal list, which hunting groups also favor. “There’s no question the wolf packs have recovered,” said Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. “We only wish we could say the same of farms and ranches within their reach.” Some members of Congress have tried repeatedly to attach provisions to various bills that would “delist” wolves, return management responsibilities to the states and bar further court challenges. The efforts succeeded with Northern Rockies wolves in 2011. The latest attempt to do likewise with Great Lakes wolves fizzled in May when congressional negotiators dropped such a proposal from a spending measure. Rep. Sean Duffy, a Wisconsin Republican, urged the Trump administration to appeal the court ruling. “Our farmers deserve to be able to protect their livestock, and they should not suffer because of the decisions made by an overreaching federal government a

thousand miles away,” Duffy said. Humane Society President Wayne Pacelle said Congress and wildlife regulators should “recognize that wolves provide an enormous range of ecological and economic services to the regions where they live, and they do it for free.” The appeals court rejected the society’s arguments that wolves are still threatened by humans and disease and that state management plans wouldn’t safeguard them. But, the judges said the process used by the Fish and Wildlife Service to remove protections from the wolves was fatally flawed. By designating wolves in the three Great Lakes states and six others as a distinct population segment and dropping them from the endangered list without evaluating the effect on wolves elsewhere, the service created a “backdoor route” for lifting protections elsewhere, said the opinion written by Judge Patricia Millett. The service “cannot review a single segment with blinders on,” Millett wrote. ——— Follow John Flesher on Twitter at http://twitter.com/JohnFlesher

LIMIT THE JUNK FOOD Most junk foods and fast foods are high in fats and sugars. These are filler calories that can have a negative impact on your child’s mood.

ery age. However, healthy eating habits can be difficult to maintain. Utilize the following outlined strategies to help you and your children develop a more balanced approach to nutrition.

DRINKS MATTER, TOO Water is the body’s best friend. Your children should drink water often, as well as milk and natural juices. Limit the amount of soda children drink, as well as coffee for teens. Stimulants can produce a temporary “high” followed by a drop in energy, and can cause heart problems.

KEEP A REGULAR MEAL SCHEDULE Stick to a schedule as best you can. Maintaining a consistent eating schedule can help prevent kids from getting too hungry, which could lead to cravings for foods high in fat and sugar. This approach also helps kids sleep better at night.

SCHOOL SUPPLY DISTRIBUTION

DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST Low energy, decreased motivation and impaired problem-solving abilities are all associated with skipping breakfast. It actually is the most important meal of the day.

PLAN AHEAD Have snacks ready for your kids when you pick them up from school, so they can eat on the ride home. If they ride the bus or car pool, pack an extra snack in their lunch box to be eaten later in the afternoon. While small and frequent meals are an eating style recommended for everyone, kids especially need the constant fuel provided by eating on a regular basis. Aim for variety

Target area: Grantsburg School District families needing assistance Plan different fruits and vegetables for different days. This ensures a balance of nutrients and brightens up any plate.

The Value of Extracurriculars

s the school year nears, you might be struggling with how much to load on your child’s plate when it comes to sports, scholarly activities and community engagement.

Encouraging your child to participate in extra-curricular activities is a wise choice. They can develop meaningful relationships, people skills, responsibility and commitment. Here is a closer look at these benefits:

1. Helps develop diversified interests. Kids should explore new things. This is how they discover what they like and what they don’t. And who knows, they might stumble on something that will parlay into a career path later on. 2. Teaches time management and responsibility. As adults, we are used to juggling commitments and prioritizing our time, but we didn’t get here overnight. Kids need practice at this if they are going to be successful at managing their time later in life. Being active also helps them understand they’ve made a commitment and must see it through. 3. Raises self-esteem. Being part of a group can be very motivating and uplifting. There are people counting on you, and it always feels good to be needed. Trying out different activities encourages children to find what they excel at,

allowing them to really shine. 4. Cultivates people skills. Joining any group or activity encourages kids and teens to work on their communication skills. These situations teach kids how to behave in social settings — not to mention it’s a great way to make new friends. 5. Jump-starts a “personal resume.” Extra-curricular activities also look great on college applications. Even if your child isn’t in high-school yet, it’s never too early to build a solid foundation. Colleges want to see students who not only excel in school but can enjoy other aspects of life. They want to see clear hobbies and interests. And don’t forget, they also know extra-curricular activities indicate strong people skills, responsibility and work ethic.

Back-to-school tips for upgrading students’ devices WISCONSIN–Back-to-school season is a popular time to replace tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices. However, while you’re busy paying for books, student fees and other education-related expenses, tech costs don’t have to be a burden. Today, refurbished devices and accessories can provide a quality, reliable alternative at often less than half of what it costs to buy a new device. Indeed, more consumers are coming to that conclusion. Demand for used smartphones is forecast to grow considerably, according to several industry analyst reports. While there’s a lingering belief among many consumers that refurbished devices are those that were broken or have had problems, the truth is that many refurbished devices come from trade-in and upgrade programs. Through these programs, owners trade in a perfectly good device so that they can get a newer model.

CLASSES START SEPTEMBER 1

IMPORTANT DATES TO NOTE: PK-12 Open House Tuesday, Aug. 29 • 4 to 8 p.m. • 5th Grade Orientation - 5:30 p.m. • 9th Grade Orientation - 6:30 p.m. • Chromebook Pick-Up • Schedules • Forms available online now for both Parents & Students • Community Resource Fair First Football Game 3 to 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 18 at Lake Holcombe • 7 pm

Whether traded in or repaired, if you do consider purchasing a refurbished device, check out reliable sources such as MyWit.com, where all devices undergo an extensive 65-point inspection of cosmetics and performance to ensure full functionality. These tests verify that every possible function -- camera, audio, SIM, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. -- is in excellent working order, and only devices that score 100 percent on these tests are made available to purchase. What’s more, purchasing refurbished devices is an eco-friendly alternative, keeping used devices from ending up in a landfill and reducing the demand for new devices. Whether you are purchasing a device as a gift or for yourself, this back-to-school season, consider upgrading devices in a smart way that’s affordable and sustainable.

‘Are you ready for some football?’ Credits to Hank Williams Jr. BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

Are you ready for some football? That’s the underlying theme around our local high schools as the “Boys of Fall” are on the practice gridiron fields prepping themselves for the upcoming 2017 football campaign. Some Grantsburg, Siren and Webster area homes are uncommonly quiet, sometimes in the morning, afternoon or evening with the absence of our high school football heroes running, blocking, tackling, kicking, throwing and catching a sometimes elusive oval-shaped object known as a football during practice. Yet, we as spectators look forward to, maybe even yearn for, the upcoming Friday nights where we throng the grandstands or gravitate to the sidelines for a great viewing position of our favorite player or players, be they sons, grandsons, nephews, cousins, neighbors or friends. Webster will scrimmage this Friday at Shell Lake along with Augusta and Frederic. The Tigers seek to improve on last year’s 2-7 record. Seniors Trenton Wols, Andrew Moritz, Austin Moser, Cody Peterson, Simeon Wilson, along with juniors Trevor Gustafson, Matt Buffington, Ross Daniels and Brad Sigfrids and others have gained valuable experience in the past couple years and hope to take advantage of that as they enter this year’s season. The Tigers open their season at Lake Holcombe on August 18, travel to Turtle Lake on August 25 before hosting their home opener on September 1 against neighboring Grantsburg. Tiger opponents following the Pirates are Unity, Shell Lake, Cameron, St. Croix Falls, Pepin/Alma and Bayfield/ Washburn/South Shore. For the Dragons of Siren, they scrimmage this Friday at Luck. New Auburn and Prairie Farm will also be there for

practice. Siren comes off last season’s Jamboree with a win, so there is momentum in their favor. The Highstroms, Dolan and Derek, Steven Pruitt, Tyler Anton, Triston Ortiz, Logan Meagher, Noah Koball, Ben Kopecky, Lukas Hunter and Sequoia Bellanger all played extensively last year and look forward to doing as well this year. Siren opens with a Thursday night game, August 17, hosting Northwood. They travel to Alma Center to play Lincoln on August 25 and Clayton, September 1. Succeeding games for the Dragons are Luck, Bruce, Winter, Phillips, Butternut/Mercer and the Jamboree at

Cameron. Last season, Grantsburg had an 11-1 record and went far into the playoffs. Can they do it again this year? Only time will tell, but hopes are high. The Pirates scrimmage on Friday at Clear Lake where Boyceville, Spring Valley and Turtle Lake will join them. The senior leaders for Grantsburg are John Chenal, Kalvin Watt, Tyler Stevens, Hauk Moritz and Mikel Louis. Juniors who hope to be leading the way are Tyrell Brande, Leo Chenal, Luke Anderson, Jase Quimby, David McKean, David Nelson, Ben Johnson, Bryce Roufs, Tanner Berger, Jordan Gaffney and Justin Patterson. Grantsburg opens their season at Cumberland on August 18, go to Frederic August 25, Webster on September 1 and Washburn/Bayfield/South Shore September 8. Following, the Pirates face Elmwood/Plum City, St. Croix Falls, Cameron, Shell Lake and Unity. If you haven’t already done so, pick your favorite team and/or athlete, prepare yourself for an exciting season, and attend as many games as you can. Your schools, coaches and players, especially, will appreciate your attendance and support. Let them know you are there for them.

Open house is Saturday at highway, forestry building BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—Your chance to tour the new Burnett County Highway and Forestry Department facility starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 12 at their location at 8150 State Rd 70 west of Siren. Refreshments, coffee and cookies will be served throughout the event, with a free meal from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. prepared and served by the Siren Lions Club. During the open house, highway and forestry department staff will be stationed throughout the building to explain the building’s features and also let kids and adults get inside some of the large pieces of equipment. Vacating an 18,000 square foot facility that was about 50 years old, they now have a 65,000 square foot building with offices for the highway and forestry departments, vehicle and records storage space, a fourbay vehicle repair and maintenance area, and 43,000 square feet of indoor equipment parking storage. Outside are 40 parking spaces in front of the building where the previous highway department building sat. A fueling system for government-owned vehicles will be coming online shortly, which will also be available for purchase by village and township-owned vehicles. Burnett County Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs said his department has occupied the building since March and it’s everything they hoped it would be. “The biggest improvement is the space inside to store all our stuff,” he said. “We have millions of dollars of assets that the taxpayers own, and previously most of it was stored outside. That’s not ideal, especially for something like a snowplow truck where we have to get it at 3 a.m. to get it warmed up and get out there to get the roads cleared before the school buses are out and people are on their way to work. By having critical pieces of equipment inside where it’s warmer, we can show up and go.”

STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL

A new blacktopped driveway and 40-space parking lot were a ﬁnishing touch last month at the new Burnett County Highway and Forestry Departments building west of Siren. The open house with free meal is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday.

The building will help them reach improved levels of service, Hoefs added. He is pleased the building came in under the $5.9 million budget. “We plan to work hard to maintain the building so it will last 70 years or more,” Hoefs said. Another new feature is the wash bay. “When we’re done plowing snow and salting/sanding roads and highways, we bring the vehicles inside and spray them down before they are parked in their indoor stalls. That helps slow the corrosion process. “It’s amazing how quickly salt will eat away at a vehicle. People don’t realize we are dealing with the source of salt on all our vehicles and it gets into every little crevice and eats away at our trucks. It doesn’t take much time at all to corrode the steel, but we do have stainless boxes on all our dump trucks to make sure they don’t break down. The boxes will outlast the

trucks.” The new building has an overhead crane system to lift objects to and from the upper level. “Before, we had two mechanics and very little space and only two bays for the mechanics to work. Now, we have four bays so that mechanics can work on a second vehicle while awaiting parts on the first.” “The building offers us great efficiencies,” Hoefs added. “We have more space. We can get our tools in closer. We have pressurized air, water and oil right there for doing the work. Before, we had stuff scattered in every little nook and cranny and then had to go get it when we needed it. We have become much more efficient in this new building.” Hoefs realizes there is a cost to those efficiencies, “but over time the efficiencies help us justify or pay off the investments we have made on behalf of the county and its citizens.” Other efficiencies include movement-sensitive light systems that shut off when the room or garage area isn’t occupied, and a “closed loop” sensing system that will open a garage door during working hours as a vehicle approaches the door. “We invite everyone to come out and see what our departments do. People may not know that our highway department plows and maintains all the state roads in our county, which is pretty unique to Wisconsin. “They also may not know that our forestry department manages and maintains a million acres of county forest land that generates a ton of revenue for our county ever year. “We use our county highway equipment to maintain the state highways in our count and the state reimburses us. The county crews plow 106 miles of state roads including Highways 70, 35, 77, 48 and 87. Not many people know that. Wisconsin is the only state in the nation that has its county highway departments maintain the state highway system. The Wisconsin DOT does not own a single dump truck. We hope people will come out and see what we do.”

Leo Landkamer Leo J. Landkamer, 88, of Grinnell, IA, formerly of Grantsburg, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, July 24, 2017. A funeral mass was celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Saturday July 29 at the St. Mary’s REC Center in Grinnell. Leo was born to Joseph G. and Clara D. (Baruth) Landkamer on October 14, 1928 in Alexandria, Neb. His family, with older brothers Fred and John and younger brother Ray, moved to the Grantsburg area in 1935. At a young age Leo was tasked with hunting food for the family and was known as quite a good shot, especially when it came to squirrels. He was also assigned fishing duty with specific instructions as to the quantity and length of fish to bring home. When Leo was 14, he left home with a friend to trave el throughout the United S States by rail, jumping on sslow moving trains. During h his travels, he worked ssmall jobs on farms and on a dredge boat as the night c cook where he mastered the a art of frying eggs. He joined tthe Army in 1947 and spent tthree years in post-war Jap pan at Camp Zama. He then jjoined the Air Force and sserved at Eglin Airforce base in Florida. After his honorable discharge, he enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle throughout the South and Midwest. Soon after, on the advice of a Boeing recruiter in Minneapolis, Leo moved to Seattle, Wash. where his brother Fred was living. Leo chose to attend Seattle University and graduated with degrees in Business Administration and Mathematics. There he met Joan Katherine Brand at a Catholic singles club event. They married on April 12, 1958, and had four children. Leo worked at The Boeing Company as a computer programmer, starting when the field was in its infancy. When Boeing experienced a downturn in the late 1960s, he and Joan were accepted into the Peace Corps. The whole family lived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 1970-73. Leo worked on the Smallpox Eradication Program and Joan was a medical technologist with Princess Zauditu Hospital. All four children attended Good Shepherd School. This was a wonderful, life-defining experience for the entire family. The family returned to Seattle and Leo rejoined Boeing, working there until 1980 when he moved to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to work for Bendix Corporation on the New Jeddah International Airport. He then moved to Honolulu and worked in the Civil Service at Tripler Hospital. After that, he moved to Japan to work for the U.S. military at Camp Zama, then to Landstuhl, Germany to complete his career. Leo loved to travel, loved “the human pageant” and often said “I have led a charmed life!” After retirement, Leo and Joan lived in San Diego, CA; Ocean Shores, WA; Palm Springs, CA and finally, Grinnell. Leo is survived by his wife, children Susan Landkamer-Rivera, Lise (Keith) Yale, John Landkamer and Mark (Margarita) Landkamer, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Assembly Bill (AB) 325 will allow children of any age to apply for bear preference points.

The new law allows that child to accumulate preference points earlier so that by the age of 10, he/she has a better chance of receiving a bear tag. Senate Bill (SB) 68 will allow citizens to feed deer in counties where it had previously been banned indef-

initely. This law removes the feeding ban in counties that are currently under a feeding ban and allows citizens to feed deer after no CWD has been found after three years, and after two years in the adjoining counties. This will lift the ban in both Polk County and Burnett County.

What God says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27. Since I have been forced to recognize that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything, I have also learned that God, who does know, takes the initiative to Pastor Tom Cook communicate with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people. Not only Associate Pastor does God say what is on Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind, God even Danbury, Grace, Siren & Lewis helps me to say what is on my mind. That is Memorial United Methodist especially important for me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the only person in this predicament

(not knowing what to say). Sometimes, in fact, I say things without thinking and it comes out sounding ridiculous or perhaps crazy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I need to step back and allow the Spirit to do the talking for me. Sometimes I need to relearn the lesson of keeping my mouth shut while at the same time, keeping my heart, mind and spirit open to the Spirit of God. My experience is that we have all had those times in our life when we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have words for what we were going through. Times of important transitions are often such times. Sometimes it is something positive and sometimes it is negative. Perhaps we are in love, a baby is born, we are starting a new job, we have a really great idea, we experience a mira-

cle, we see a wonderful sight or we experience the presence of the living God. It may be that one we love is in pain, is dying, or has died, we lose our job, we cannot seem to find meaning in the daily events, we pray and pray but there are only words and nothing seems to change. Then God speaks in our hearts and lets us know that our God is alive and still in charge. We begin to sense that whether it is now or later, God is in the process of caring for the things we need and is with us and that God is closer to us than hands and feet. In our hearts, the words that Paul wrote long ago ring true. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God and who are called according to His purpose.
