The need for speed This 1970 Plymouth GTX was doing what is was designed for on Saturday — burning rubber at the time trials at the Burnett County Airport. The burnout allows the tires to warm up, creating better traction. Speed and muscle car enthusiasts alike looked on as car after car vied for one-eighth mile supremacy. More photos on Page 16.

Money matters as seniors tackle real world WHS seniors participate in the Mad City Money simulation BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

WEBSTER—For one morning last week, Webster High School seniors found themselves transported to a mythical future where they had a job, a spouse, a baby and had to ‘buy’ all of their needs and wants, based on their income. In a nutshell, that’s Indianhead

Credit Union’s Mad City Money simulation, a program the banking institution presents to area high school seniors. “We want to help prepare high school seniors for when they leave high school and have to make monetary decisions on their own,” Andrea Albarado, simulation facilitator, explained.

Danbury Laundry damaged DANBURY—The plate glass door of the Danbury Laundromat was broken out about 10:20 p.m. on Thursday by a customer locked out of the facility by the automated locking system. The customer, who is reportedly hearing impaired, apparently finished folding her clothing, placed them in one of the carts provided by the facility, and pushed the cart outside to transfer the items to her car. When she went to go back into the laundromat, she could not re-enter due to the automated locking system. She had left her purse and other items inside. There are several large signs that notify customers of the automated locking system, as well as smaller signs that have emergency contact phone numbers listed should a customer find

SIREN—A preliminary hearing has been set for a 25-year-old Webster man who has been charged with several felonies, including attempted first degree intentional homicide. Jacob Taylor Widmyer was in Burnett County Circuit Court last Wednesday afternoon for his initial appearance. Judge Ken Kutz set his bail at $2,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing for July 8. In addition to the attempted homicide charge, Widmyer faces counts of aggravated battery to an elderly person, strangulation and suffocation, false imprisonment, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstructing an officer. According to the criminal complaint, Burnett County deputies responded to a disturbance at a residence in the 7700 block of West Main Street in the Village of Webster at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, Apr. 27. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a 65-year-old female who had been severely beaten. Deputies were able to rescue the female victim from the residence by helping her escape through a window.

The beginnings of a new county highway shop SIREN—It’ll be almost a year in the making, but the first step occurred last week when the first shovelful of dirt was turned over on the $5 million new highway shop being built behind the current facility. “We’re finally moving on this,” Don Taylor, county board chairman, declared, as the shovels were poised to turn over the first mounds of dirt. “This is an important step as we move into the future.” In addition to the bulk of the county board, all of the stakeholders involved in the process, from Kueny Architects, the architects designing the new shop, Market and Johnson, the builders of the new shop, and Bremer Bank, the financiers of the new shop, were at the groundbreaking last Wednesday. “The board first started talking about a new shop more than 15 years ago and we have the documentation showing the need for a new facility to replace the current shop, built in the 1950s,” Jeremy Gronski pointed out. Gronski is the chairman of the county’s infrastructure committee, the committee which did a lot of the heavy lifting in making Wednesday a reality. “For 60 years we didn’t do anything — well, we’re doing something now,” he quipped. He wasn’t alone in that regard. “From day one, we said we are not here to collect a fee — we are here to create,” Jon Wallenkamp, lead architect, boasted.

St. Croix tribe unveils plans SIREN—If you have driven through the county’s roundabout north of Siren, you have undoubtedly noticed the land being cleared for some future project. Groundbreaking for the project, the construction of a new Fourwinds Market, is scheduled for 10 a.m. June 2. The new complex will double the size of the present Fourwinds Market and will also include a high-end bottle shop, a gas station/convenience store, car wash and fast food restaurant with a drive-through. Mini-storage will also be available onsite. Keith O’Brien presented aerial renderings of the construction site as well as exterior renderings of the proposed new complex at a joint meeting of the Burnett Coun-

ty Board of Supervisors and the St. Croix Chippewa Indians late last month. A number of major fast-food companies are under consideration for the restaurant. A soft opening is planned for December 12. The existing Four Winds Market will remain open as a small grocery store and liquor store. O’Brien, Four Winds owner’s representative, also presented the new St. Croix Casino Hertel Express construction project, slated to break ground in July 2016. It will include a casino with 200 slot machines, a 50-seat ala carte restaurant, a gas station/truck stop, an RV Park and an 850-seat amphitheater for hosting special events and entertainment. Renderings of the new facility’s exterior were shared with the group. A soft opening is

planned for late spring 2017. After the new casino is finished, the existing Hertel casino building will house the Tribal Police Department and the Tribal Judicial Center. The current tribal Smoke Shop will serve as a registration station for the RV Park and will also house the St. Croix AMVETS office. Mike Decorah, senior intergovernmental affairs specialist, welcomed all attendees, acknowledging the historic importance of the meeting. “We’re here today to bring the St. Croix tribe and Burnett County together in support of two tribal projects that will benefit the community of Siren, the county and the tribe,” Decorah said. “We’re striving to foster unity — and generate strength from that unity.”

NEWSLINE Public Service Recognition Week SIREN—Across the country and in communities around Polk and Burnett counties, government employees serve and protect our nation every day. During Public Service Recognition Week, we gratefully acknowledge their service. Federal employees care for our

veterans and work side by side with our military to defend our country. They conduct research to improve public health, and regulate the safety of our food and medicines. And, right here in Wisconsin, air traffic controllers ensure the safety of thousands of passengers every year. These are all critical services.

We may not realize all that America’s public servants do for us on a daily basis. Let’s not take for granted the services they provide. During Public Service Recognition Week, and throughout the year, please take time to say “thank you” to public employees in your community.

Republicans passed a law in 2011 requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls. They justified it as a way of fighting voter fraud, although there’s no evidence of any such widespread fraud. The law allows people to obtain free IDs for voting from the state Department of Transportation upon request. People seeking IDs without the underlying documents to verify their identity, address and citizenship can petition the agency to make an exception for them. If that process is unsuccessful, the agency may still issue an ID card if it receives documentation that a Division of Motor Vehicle administrator believes proves identity. Under the new rule, if the agency can’t resolve an applicant’s petition within five days, he or she will get a free receipt in the mail within six days of submitting the petition.

The person will be able to use the receipt to vote. A fiscal estimate notes that the DMV anticipates issuing about 442 receipts and 55 receipt renewals annually at a cost of about $240. The rule goes on to establish steps for processing petitions. ID card applicants also won’t have to provide a social security number. The DOT must provide a translator for applicants who can’t read or understand notices related to their petition and the DMV must approve name changes if applicants provide affidavits. Liberal group One Wisconsin Institute Inc., social justice group Citizen Action of Wisconsin and a number of voters filed a federal lawsuit in June. They challenged multiple changes Republicans have made to state election law since 2011, chief among them the voter ID requirement.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Gov. Walker approves revision to voter ID process MADISON (AP) — People working to obtain state photo identification without the proper underlying documents will be able to vote with a receipt under an emergency rule Gov. Scott Walker signed Wednesday. The rule is designed to blunt a pair of lawsuits alleging voters who lack the proper documents face tough hurdles in obtaining free identification. A trial is set to begin in one of the cases in federal court Monday, although the judge could decide the matter yet this week on his own. A status conference is set for Thursday in the other case. Walker’s office said the changes will take effect Friday. “The more we can do to improve the process, the more likely it is it will be upheld in federal court,” the governor said.

Summer in Siren means ‘Music in the Park’ SIREN—Since the band shell was built in Crooked Lake Park, if it’s summer, it’s ‘Music in the Park’ in Siren. The free, weekly concert series boasts new performers in addition to the annual favorites as a part of the 2016 concert series schedule. In 2008, the Siren-Webster Rotary Club sponsored construction of a band shell as a great addition to Crooked Lake Park’s amenities. A year later, Siren’s ‘Music in the Park’ program became a reality. Now in its eighth season, the tradition has been set. Every summer Thursday, Siren hosts a local musical act’s performance for everyone’s enjoyment. The free concerts are from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. each Thursday. Residents and visitors alike arrive with folding chairs in hand to relax while listening to live music beside the lakeshore. In inclement weather, the show goes on, but the location moves to Siren School Auditorium. The season opens June 2 with American and country music by “Tangled Web.” As a fund raiser, the Siren High School girls basketball team will serve brats, hot dogs and beverages.

During the program, you may get answers if you have you ever found yourself thinking any of the following statements: • “There’s no forgiveness in my heart.” • “There’s no way I could ever forgive them for what they did.” • “They don’t deserve to be forgiven.” • “I’ve forgiven them, but I’ll never be able to forget what they did.” • “I really have forgiven, but I still struggle with feelings of hurt.” These events are designed to help us deal

The 1901 Frederic Soo Line Depot is the last of its kind on what was once the major pipeline of commerce in this area during more than half of the previous century— the railroad. The Soo Line Railroad is what got Frederic started. When the Soo Line abandoned rail service through Frederic in 1989, the Village acquired the depot and restored it with transportation-enhancement grants from the Department of Transportation.

MAY 18, 2016

Keep it or throw it? I think humans are wired to think it’s wasteful to throw anything away, at least to some degree. The TV show Hoarders, for example, is that very instinct gone haywire. In fact, I’ve been in a woman’s house where there’s about a foot-wide path to each of the rooms in the house — the rest of the floor space is dedicated to leaning stacks of newspapers and other periodicals. Everywhere you look in this woman’s house is a collection of – for the lack of a better term – junk you wouldn’t expect to find in that given locale. For instance, in the bathroom there’s a bathtub — for showers and baths, yes? Not in her house. Her bathtub is reserved for Seems to small kitchenwares which have seen their prime. I spied four Me toaster ovens, about a dozen sousalt and pepper shakers Todd Beckmann venir and an avocado-green electric can opener, straight out of the 1970s. The rest of the space was filled with the measuring spoons, embroidered aprons, and knit pot holders — so much so you couldn’t see an inch of ceramic. The wife and I used to have a downstairs neighbor who kept all of his banking and investment records in his oven. Most people have ovens to bake and cook meals — not Ben, he ate out all the time, so I’m sure he thought that was unused space which could be better used for something else. The family hired me to clean out the apartment when Ben passed and I was amazed at what I found and where I found it. It’s these kinds of people the city fathers had in mind when the idea of an annual clean-up day/ week was born. Makes sense to have such an event in the spring — the birds are singing, the trees are blooming, people are starting to garden again — it’s a time of rebirth. What better time to get rid of that unwanted clutter? Grantsburg just wrapped up a week-long cleanup event while Siren had its one-day clean-up event on Saturday. The premise in Grantsburg was to schedule a pick-up day with the village and then set your unwanted “junk” curbside in the morning so the village crew could pick it up as time allowed. As one who walks each morning, there were times I found it tough to walk around town without telling myself “Oh, I could really make use of that bookcase,” or, “I wonder if the wife would like that picture frame,” or, “I could snag that couch for our porch.” It was like a mini-garage sale every other block — except all the stuff was free. Of course, the village admonished its residents not to take what others had set out as “junk” unless they had permission — it really put a damper on the whole dumpster-diving theory. Maybe Siren has the right idea. Even though their clean-up day is a single day as opposed to a whole week, they require residents to bring their “junk” to one central collection site. Yeah, it’s probably a pain to haul it versus having it picked up, but hauling it takes away that urge to want to pick through other people’s junk —after all, isn’t that what garage sales are for?

Still no ﬂying cars? I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. —Albert Einstein

As we careen through May with graduation and the end of the school year in sight, many think about the next steps in their life. Some people even get paid to try to predict the future. That would be a very tough job. It’s always easier to write about the past and point out where the futurists went wrong. I’ve been part From the of a couple disPublisher’s cussions in the past month about Desk the future. Local elected officials Tom Stangl try to plan and predict what may be coming so our communities can harness growth without having to play (and pay for) catch-up. Technology often plays a major role in the way we live our lives. I consider the Apollo moon landings one of the major accomplishments that has occurred during my life. But, did you know that the average smartphone of today has more processing power than the spacecraft that landed on the Moon? The older I get, the more I marvel that we made it there and back

safely. We often develop technologies before understanding the social and ethical complications that will arise as unintended consequences from their use. It is estimated that in 2018, the first self-driving cars will be available for the public. While I am still waiting for the flying cars I was promised as a child, futurists theorize that the preschoolers of today will never have need of a driver’s license, thanks to automated cars, piloted by global positioning systems. Let’s take the next leap of logic. If cars are automated and software companies like Uber and Lyft can offer a ride with a few swipes of your cell phone, would you even need to own a car? An estimated 1.2 million people die each year in car accidents worldwide. Currently, one accident occurs every 100,000 kilometers. With autonomous driving that will drop to one accident in 10 million km. That will save a million lives each year. With fewer accidents, the business model of insurance companies will change as well. In addition to the 1.2 million people who would have died annually in car accidents, lifespans continue to grow. Right now, the average lifespan increases by three months per year.

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.

A Newcomer’s Outlook

GUEST EDITORIAL

‘Click It or Ticket’ set

I walk my two dogs every day with few exceptions. The big one, Stella, accompanies me on longer ventures as I begin exploring the area’s trails, forests and waterways. Recently, we came upon a small field with a squirrel sitting at its center. Stella took off as soon as it came into view and continued full force. Watching this little rodent begin hopping, and not too quickly, I might add, I said out loud, “You better start moving, squirrel.” It was close. I would like to say she has never caught one, but that would be a lie. The time she did, she had no idea what to do with it following her swift and precise kill, but that didn’t matter to the squirrel. It was Newbie in too late for him anyway. Since our arrival to Grantsthe North- burg nearly two months ago, we have yet to see a bear on woods our treks and I am mostly glad. Just the other day, however, Lori Callahan we crossed new evidence of their early spring meals on a frequently-taken route. Though Stella loves the chase of small animals, she’ll hide behind me when we encounter something larger, like a beaver, and even a whitetail deer will cause her anxiety. A bear? That’ll be interesting. I know to make a lot of noise and make oneself appear as big as possible should one be encountered; stop, back away slowly and don’t run. I also know bears have a tremendous sense of smell and surprising them is not a good idea. I have one vice; okay, two, if we count Milk Duds consumption. I confess: I smoke. It’s bad, I know. Please forgive me. To increase the bears’ awareness of our presence, I may smoke while walking. (Don’t worry, M. Ranger, I’m careful, carry water and all butts go in my pocket.) These hikes, too, are opportunities for ongoing training with Stella on commands, communication and language, and she understands much, even when spoken to in a conversational manner. I didn’t say obeys. Part Border collie, smart and sassy. I am noisy enough for any near bear to hear and, along with the aroma of the Human-Dog-Carcinogen blend, should be well announced in the wood. (Why have visions of Robin Williams in stripes and suspenders running wildly about stage, coffee cup in hand, pinky extended, shouting, “Get your HDC blend here, folks. Doubles as bear repellent, makes one bark after sex and available in neighborhoods everywhere,” filled my head?) “Brain changed channels. PBS to HBO.” RIP, Robin, but not too much, please. I’ve crossed the summit myself and can hear all the dearly departed souls grumbling after hearing Benny’s bit for the 638-thousandth time, “We’re begging you, Jack, get some new material.” Some of the most beautiful parts of the trails and forests – dense growth of young white pines with parents still towering above – are my visual favorites. They also, however, cause some trepidation with limited views of what’s behind the next tree. Both sensory delight and a lot of caution slows our pace and raises my pitch. So, if you see some woman in the woods, on the trails or at the water’s edge with a dog, carrying on loud, one-sided conversations with said dog, puffs of smoke emitting between sentences, remember: Michael Jackson is still dead, as is Phyllis Diller, and there are no recent escapees from county mental health detention currently at large. It’s just me. That other lady, though, the one banging sticks together, that’s someone else.

Too many people from all walks of life are needlessly killed and injured in traffic crashes because they were not wearing safety belts. To prevent deaths and injuries, we Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers, along with law enforcement agencies from all over Wisconsin, will intensify our safety-belt enforcement efforts during the annual ‘Click It or Ticket’ mobilization May 23 to June 5. Effective education and enforcement efforts, like ‘Click It or Ticket,’ have helped increase safety belt

ATV patrol ready to roll LAUNDRY: Lockout leads to damage BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

SIREN—The Burnett County ATV trails will be routinely patrolled when the trails open for the summer season at the end of the month. That’s the word from the county’s natural resource committee. “I’ll be doing patrol full time this summer,” Ryan Bybee, the county’s forestry/rec officer, told committee members last week. “I don’t feel we’ll be short-changed by having hired only one limited-term employee (LTE).” Part of the problem of only having one LTE stems from the fact that Bybee missed the meat of the recruiting season. “By the time I interviewed them, they all had jobs or job offers,” he explained. “With that being the case, I think we need to start recruiting in January when our competition is recruiting, instead of waiting until March like we did this year.” Bybee recruits at UW-Stevens Point and prefers those possible recruits as opposed to more local ones, like from WITC-Rice Lake. “They’ve been through some of their training and work part time with campus security — so they’ve gotten their feet wet,” he reasoned. “Plus, these kids are pursuing careers in environmental law enforcement — it’s a good fit.” Equipment-wise, Bybee said he is ready to roll once the season opens. “I just finished maintenance on the three ATVs in our fleet,” he admitted. “They are old but have been maintained well — we should be good for the summer.” In other business: • The snafu regarding the boat landing at Devils Lake continues. “We attempted to reset the concrete mats at Devils Lake Landing,” Jake Nichols, forestry administrator shared with committee members. “Unfortunately, when lifting the cabled mats, the cables did

not hold up and the mats fell apart.” He said the department had no other option but to scoop up the mats and haul them to the highway department. As time allows, Nichols and crew will salvage the blocks and use them for erosion control where needed. “Currently, we put in a gravel rock mix at the landing for the public to use to launch their watercraft,” he explained. “We will just have to fix this routinely as needed.” He said he has contacted the company to let them know the county is disappointed with their product and have asked for them to make it right and is waiting to hear back. • Community Development Agent Mike Kornmann led members through a quiz on tourism. According to his figures, burnettcounty.com had 10,000 visitors in April, 43,000 page views and 30 percent of those viewing the website were using a mobile device. “I thought the number of mobile devices would be higher but the number has doubled from a couple years ago,” Kornmann observed • Some humor found its way into the meeting when the final topic on the agenda was addressed. It was a routine bid opening for a rehabilitation of one of the ATV trails in the Town of Blaine —925W, between Bents Road and State Line Road. Only Hopkins Sand and Gravel and Solutions 101 bid on the project — rehabbing 3.3 miles of the trail, increasing width to 12-feet where necessary and resurfacing the trail to five inches of compacted Class 5 gravel. The first bid was from Hopkins and at $53,000, the price came under the $63,000 grant the department received for the project. The second bid, from Solutions 101, was a jaw-dropping $236,000. “They could haul their gravel from Australia for that price,” Ed Peterson, committee chair, quipped. The committee awarded the bid to Hopkins.

Irrigation Systems Spring is the time that folks like to take on landscaping projects. One project that has become more and more popular in recent years is automatic in-ground yard irrigation systems. Many people tackle the installation of these systems themselves, which is a great way to save on installation cost. However, if you decide to do this job yourself, make sure you install a code-compliant backﬂow preventer at the point where your irrigation piping connects to your domestic water piping system. This device will prevent the possibility of puddle water, dirt, fertilizers, pesticides, pet urine and feces, and other contaminants from accidentally getting sucked back into your drinking water piping.

themselves in just such a predicament, but the customer obviously did not avail herself of this information. The customer did contact the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department with her phone, using an app for the hearing impaired, but was apparently unsure whether or not a squad would be dispatched to assist her. She then obtained a landscaping block from the flower garden adjacent to the front door, and threw the block through the glass in order to gain access to the laundromat and retrieve her items. The sheriff’s department was on the scene early Friday morning to get all the information from the owner/operator of the laundromat, Don Barnhart, of Gordon, so that an incident report or offense report can be filed in the matter. The cost of the damage is estimated to be in the $600 range. It is unclear at this point whether any criminal charges will be filed. Barnhart did say that the video surveillance system was operating and that the footage would be made available to the authorities to help them

decide what action is appropriate. Robin Blomberg, Contributing Writer

BEATING: Suspect remains jailed CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The suspect, identified as Jacob Taylor Widmyer, 25, of Webster, is the grandson of the victim and had apparently been living with the victim at the time of this incident. He allegedly returned from a bar a little after midnight, woke the victim and demanded $20. She refused and an argument ensued. That led to Widmyer beating her, strangling her on three separate occasions during the struggle, pulling out handfuls of hair and placing his hand in her mouth and pulling her mouth wide open. As a result of the attack, the victim’s eye sockets were shattered, her vision is

somewhat impaired, she suffered a broken nose and had lacerations and bruises on her face, arms, neck and inside her mouth. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital then airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital for treatment of serious injuries, including surgery. Since Widmyer had barricaded himself inside a bedroom and refused to comply with deputies’ commands to exit the house, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team was called for assistance. After employing tear gas, SWAT team members removed Widmyer from the house. Widmyer has yet to post bail and remains in custody as he awaits his next court date.

MONEY: Simulation shows necessity of budgeting

doesn’t ever recall hearing a negative about the program. “I think it’s a great idea for us as we enter the real world after high school,” senior Kaitlyn Moser opined. “Especially because life hits you as soon as you step out of these doors — it’s a great way to make us realize we are going to have all of these responsibilities.” Even though more schooling may be in her future, Moser knows she has to be more self-reliant. “We have to realize Mom isn’t right there to help us,” Moser commented. “Of course, there will still be other people around to help us.” She said that’s evident in the fact the simulation was at the high school. “The people here are here to help if we need it, but we need to start making these life decisions on our own,” she realized. Even though she has a checkbook and a debit card, Moser sees the simulation as a confidence booster, although the budgeting aspect is new for her.

“I’ve never had to plan everything out before,” she admitted. “I’ve kept track of money, but it’s never been anything as big as this.” Fellow senior Grant Preston echoed Moser sentiments. “It’s good to get practice for the real world,” he pointed out.

presenting unexpected windfalls, or unexpected expenses for each of the participants. Community members engage in the role of “businesses,” like a clothing store, an automotive store and others to bring some “reality” to the simulation. “I think it’s important for the students to realize how the budget process works,” Jennifer Hill, running the “My Closet” store, said. “These kids have to be able to work with the money they have, to get what they need first and then go onto the extra stuff.” She thought it was fairly obvious that most of the kids don’t have realistic expectations.`“I’ve been trying to up-sell them, because that’ll be what happens in the real-world,” Hill noted. Mike Schroeder, the proprietor of the“Home Stuff” store, like Hill, sees the simulation as a valuable exercise for the students. “Most have told me they are going on to school so in the next four months, they will all be living on their own and doing budgets just like they are doing here,” he pointed out. He said while some kids may have some basic financial experience, what’s coming next will be new to most of them. “I don’t think a lot of these kids have been away from home to the point where they have to think about money in their pocket,” Schroeder added. “Even if they go to college and think they can put off learning how to budget, freshman year can be expensive if you’re not

paying attention.” He hopes the simulation is an eye-opener for the kids. “Most of what I see are kids taking the middle-of-the-road when it comes to buying the stuff they need, rather than the top-of-theline or the hand-me-downs,” he continued. “I think they are trying to be reasonable and conservative.” Like Hill, Schroeder is urging kids to buy the best stuff. “I’ll make more money if I sell these kids top-of-the-line merchandise, but the choice is theirs — I always ask them ‘How fancy do you want your home?’” he said. And, at the end of the day, that “choice” is the purpose behind the event. “I’m a little unsure of things because I don’t want to make the wrong decision — something I’ll regret later on,” Moser concluded.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING

Walker to delay $101 million in debt payments MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker’s administration said last week it is delaying $101 million in debt payments to help with the state budget’s bottom line. But how big of a problem the state’s budget may be facing isn’t clear. The decision to restructure debt suggests that the Walker’s administration is concerned there will not be enough cash on hand for the budget to balance at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30 as is required by law. The latest estimate, prepared by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau in January, projected that the state was going to end the twoyear budget cycle with a razor-thin $71 million cushion in June 2017. Walker administration spokeswoman Laurel Patrick called delaying the payment a “prudent financial management tool,” but did not say why it was necessary.

“Normally, if you’re in strong financial condition, you’re not kicking the can down the road,” said state Rep. Gordon Hintz, a Democrat from Oshkosh who sits on the Legislature’s budget committee. He said it was embarrassing and an indication that there wasn’t enough money available to pay for tax cuts approved in the last budget. Pushing off debt payments into a different budget year is a common tactic used by Republican and Democratic governors alike as a short-term method of balancing the books. Since 2001, more than $1.6 billion in such payments have been delayed. Walker has now delayed more than $741 million in payments since 2011, including $108 million last year. His predecessors, Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle and Republican Gov. Scott McCallum, also made similar delays totaling about $872 million.

Frederic reporter kicked out of Afghanistan petitions Supreme Court MADISON (AP)—A Wisconsin freelance reporter who says he lost his embed status with the U.S. Army for reporting on an argument that turned deadly at an Afghanistan military base is asking the Supreme Court to take up his case. Wayne Anderson, now 60, says U.S. military officials sent him home in 2010, after he published an article in The Washington Times about the shooting during a training exercise that stemmed from an argument between an Afghan soldier and a U.S. contractor. Two American contractors and two Afghans were killed, according to the article, which was posted on the newspaper’s website alongside video Anderson took, showing the wounded Americans being unloaded from an ambulance. Anderson says U.S. commanders attempted to interfere with his reporting, telling him he was “chasing a non-story.” “They were flipped out and they just terminated my embed right then and there,” Anderson said. Anderson’s article includes two differing explanations about how the shooting occurred. According to the Afghan Army base’s media officer, a U.S. soldier shot the Afghan man after he reached for his fallen weapon, prompting further shooting from an Afghan recruit and other trainees. According to an anonymous eyewitness and the official Af-

ghan army report, the Afghan man shot the U.S. trainer first before being killed. Anderson is seeking reversal of the memorandum terminating his embed status and reinstatement of his credentials. The U.S. Department of Justice didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The Supreme Court hears only about one percent of the thousands of petitions it receives each term. According to the petition, Army officials told Anderson he had violated the media ground rules by posting video of wounded personnel. Anderson says the footage didn’t reveal the identities of the personnel, so no violation of the rules ever occurred. Upon his return, Anderson filed a lawsuit against Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and other officials. A circuit court and the D.C. Court of Appeals dismissed his case for lack of jurisdiction. Anderson filed the petition Wednesday with the U.S. Supreme Court. Anderson said he hopes the court will take up his case and tell the Appeals Court it must hear the merits of the case and his First Amendment arguments. “The American people have a right to know what is going on in their wars,” Anderson said. “We’re paying for it, not only with our money, our tax dollars, but our children.” By Bryna Godar

Berglund commented that “our new location in Siren offers Burnett County patients, many who are elderly, a much better option.” And Kim Thompson, Registered Nurse, added “visitors who require dialysis can now come to visit family and friends by receiving their treatments here.” Water use at the facility is extensive, exceeding available resources and requiring a dedicated well be dug. Several water treatment components purify the water that is used for the treatments. Berglund shared that “DaVita, which is Italian for ‘giving life,’ has more than 50,000 teammates (employees) around the nation working to provide superior patient care and exemplify the company’s Core Values: Service Excellence: Serving others — our reason for existing. Integrity: We say what we believe, and we do what we say. We are trusted because we are trustworthy. Team: one for all, and all for one! We work together, sharing a common purpose, a common culture and common goals. Continuous Improvement: We never stand still; we are never satisfied. Accountability: We don’t say, “It’s not my fault,” or “It’s not my job.” We take responsibility for meeting our commitments — our personal ones as well as those of the entire organization. We take ownership of the results. Fulfillment: We make a difference. We feel rewarded — personally and as a team — because what we do in our jobs is consistent with our goals and dreams. Fun: We enjoy what we do. We know healthcare is hard work; but even hard work can be fun. The DaVita mission is “to be the provider, partner, and employer of choice.” The Siren facility is staffed by Berglund, Thompson, Laura Elm (Licensed Practical Nurse), Christi Jensen (Patient Care Technician), a part-time social worker/ dietician and a biomed, plus two physician groups that see the patients. Berglund splits her time primarily between the Siren and Pine City facilities. She can be reached at Siren DaVita Inc., 715-349-4220 at the facility.

Police memorial set

SIREN—April 19, 2016 marked the 25th year since Burnett County lost Sheriff’s Deputy Allen Albee to gunfire in Webster. The same incident left Polk County Deputy Michael Seversen shot and paralyzed from the neck down, and led to his death 23 years later due to medical complications. Allen left behind a wife, two children and a law enforcement family that will never forget him. Michael continued to serve his community, becoming an inspiration for many until his death on April 14, 2014. We also remember Paul Robert Gramer who died November 20, 1968 when a vehicle collided with his patrol vehicle head on; Richard Floyd Schinzing who suffered a fatal heart attack on Oct. 17, 1974 while struggling with a suspect after responding to a disturbance at a local tavern. Both Paul and Richard’s legacies have continued through their sons, who followed in their footsteps, serving the citizens of Burnett County as law enforcement professionals. Please join us at noon on Thursday, May 19 on the steps of the Burnett County Government Center as we remember and honor our fallen heroes.

Mobilizing for ‘Click It or Ticket’ SIREN—Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers will join hundreds of other law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin for the annual ‘Click It or Ticket’ safety belt enforcement campaign from May 23 to

June 5. “We are serious about safety belt enforcement because far too many unbuckled drivers and passengers are killed or injured in traffic crashes,” says Sheriff Ron Wilhelm. “During the ‘Click

It or Ticket’ mobilization and throughout the year, our goal is not to write more tickets. Through enforcement and education, we’re determined to get people to buckle up every time they drive or ride in a vehicle.” Although the state’s safety belt use rate of 86 percent is the highest ever, approximately half of the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes last year were not wearing safety belts. In addition, last year there were nearly 55,000 convictions for failure to fasten a seat belt. No matter if it’s day or night, or a short trip or a long journey, everyone in a vehicle must buckle up. Passengers need to wear a safety belt in the rear seats as well as the front seats. “Buckling up is the best possible protection against being ejected from a vehicle during a crash, or thrown around violently inside it and possibly hitting another person in the vehicle with massive force,” Chief Schinzing of Grantsburg Police Dept. says. “That’s why ‘Click It or Ticket’ is more than a slogan to our officers. It really is a life-saving effort.”

‘Little sprouts’ learn gardening SIREN—Ruby’s Food Shelf in Siren, with the assistance of Master Gardener Pat Beetcher, presented a “Little Sprouts” mini-gardening class for children ages 5-10 on a rainy Sunday in late April. Approximately 40 Little Sprouts and their parents had an opportunity to visit five stations to learn about gardening. The Sprouts used their detective skills for hands-on examinations of seeds and soil, and with a magnifying glass solved mysteries of how seeds look inside fruit and vegetables, how seeds germinate, and how to find the veins in leaves. At station No. 5, they enjoyed Incredible Edibles, healthy snacks donated by FourWinds Market. And, thanks to Austin Lake Greenhouse, each Sprout planted a bean or pea seed to take home and also planted a seed for “Ruby’s Garden.” In May, the seedlings for Ruby’s Food Shelf will be planted in the new Ruby’s Garden (soon to be built), and over the summer, the Little Sprouts can come visit the plant they started. Even with the rain, the event was a big success, and plans are already underway to hold this Little Sprouts training every year. The produce from Ruby’s Garden will be harvested and donated to Ruby’s Food Shelf. Ruby’s Garden has received donations of seeds, wood for the raised beds, and gardening supplies. In addition, the shelf has achieved about a quarter of its goal of raising $5,000 to build a hoop house to protect the garden from wildlife. Volunteers and donations for completing Ruby’s Garden are welcome. Please contact 715-349-7253, or stop by Ruby’s Second Hand Store for more information.

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

Sherlock is a one year-old Walker Coonhound mix who, among those critters currently at the shelter, holds the record of being there the longest. Poor fellow has been patiently waiting for that special someone since February. If my memory serves me correctly, I Sherlock believe Sherlock was a surrender because he didn’t turn out to be the hunting dog his owner had hoped for. What this fellow lacks in hunting skills, he gains in personality. Everyone at our shelter adores Sherlock! I had featured him before, but decided to revisit him and truly get to know him the other day. I think what might deter people from Sherlock is that he will bark while trying to get you to come see him. Once you are with him, he’s quiet, calm, sweet and just an allaround good guy. Sherlock likes to put a paw (or two) on your shoulder to perhaps keep you from going anywhere. For a large dog, he’s extremely gentle in doing so and I find it quite endearing. I saw on the white board in our kennel area that Sherlock likes playing ball so I asked him where his ball was (just trying to make conversation and not really expecting anything). Well, as soon as I said the word “Ball,” he immediately retrieved his prized possession from under his bed and brought it to me. This intrigued me, so I brought Sherlock and his ball outside to our big play yard. I was quite impressed with his catch and release technique. Sherlock reminded me of my grandson when my grandson is watching the Paw Patrol cartoon, as he was SO focused on the ball in my hand (like my grandson is focused on the TV) that you cannot get him to do anything else - even make eye contact with you. Sherlock would almost always bring the ball back to me and drop it at my feet. However, once in a while, he would stop half-way and bat the ball around with his paws and chase it. Although I haven’t taken Sherlock for a walk, I’m told he does well on a leash. He likes some dogs, but does not seem to like cats. I’m hoping this article will bring out some interest in Sherlock as he is a GREAT dog! Smokey and the Bandit are two eight weekold kittens that are cute as can be. When I opened the door to their condo and took them both out at the same time, I soon found that maybe I could handle only one at a time because they quickly scampered to my shoulders. I had to be careful because Sherlock was right across the hall from them and looking mighty interested. I put them both back and before I could choose one, Bandit (the tabby female) literally jumped onto my shoulder. So, I guess spunky little Bandit was the first kitten I held. Smokey (the grey male) was not too happy to be left in his condo and let me know by his little cries that he was next. What can I say about kittens? They are hard to resist. These puff balls are guaranteed to give you hours of entertainment as well as hours of nap time, too.

If you are interested in adopting Sherlock, Smokey, Bandit, or any of the animals from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (715) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

Paddling the St. Croix River, part II GORDON—With air in the high 50s, I slid into the water at Lake Namekagon Dam and immediately turned upstream to get a closer look at the origins of the Namekagon River where it pours over the dam and turns from a lake to a stream. I live in a house that has a pretty darn good backyard view of the St. Croix River, but I still regard the Namekagon as my home river. Growing up in Spooner, I’ve spent many summer afternoons on its waters and I still occasionally hunt grouse along its banks with my father. Spending a moment getting a kayak-level view of where this river begins was on my mental checklist. I also wanted to take a moment to get my kayak under me. I am an experienced paddler in a canoe, but not necessarily so with a kayak. Plus, up to then, I had spent zero time in my new kayak, the Sans Souci II. While in high school, a couple of my hockey teammates and I took a summer whitewater paddling course taught by my high school English teacher, Mike Ubbelohde. The twoday course featured tandem-canoe paddling instruction on the whitewater rapids of the Bois Brule River in Bayfield County. It was good sport, so we took the same course two summers in a row. Paddling a tandem canoe isn’t identical to kayaking, but the river skills and most of the basic paddle strokes are plenty transferable. Gearing up for my first weekend on the eastern-most stretch of St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, I was conscious of warnings from the National Park Service rangers with whom I spoke; therefore, I was quite bundled up at the outset. Sixty-degree air temperatures are one thing, but with nothing except the seat and the polyethylene hull of the Sans Souci II between my rear end and 40-degree river water, I wasn’t taking any chances on being too cold. I had donned long underwear, brought neoprene gloves and invested in a spray skirt to keep the water off me and out of the cockpit. I also wore my hip waders, knowing at some point I would need to drag my boat off, over or around any hazards. The first seven miles of the Namekagon, between Lake Namekagon Dam and the County Road M Landing, is arguably some of the most challenging water the entire riverway offers. The river is not very deep even in the spring, and it is narrow,

with several rapids and three low foot bridges to be navigated. Plus, industrious beavers are known to fell trees and construct dams. Going early in the season means plenty of water for paddling, but it also means the NPS staff hasn’t been out yet to clear any major hazards. Luckily, my plan to avoid doing too much walking panned out. I only exited the Sans Souci II three times: twice to scout rapids of which I wasn’t completely certain, and once to get around a beaver dam. By the time I reached County Road M, I was feeling confident. I had moved cautiously, if a bit slowly, and not had any troubles. Even at my slow pace, however, I felt I was in danger of melting. My long underwear, hip waders and jacket were roasting me as the temperatures, by noon, had risen to the mid-60s. As I was shedding clothing and having lunch at the landing, I saw four or five other tandem canoes go by. My unrealistic hopes of being the only person on the water for that first stretch were somewhat deflated. Even in this most remote section of the river, I wasn’t alone in wanting to absorb what turned out to be a beautiful weekend on the river. My fellow paddlers reported they had simply shot over the beaver dam I had portaged around. I also observed they were all wearing short sleeves and regular boots. So much for being too prepared! Aside from the other paddlers, my most prominent companions on the

river were ducks. If I were a duck hunter, I would have called this paradise. There were more pairs than I could count, and my ability to identify all the species I saw was severely lacking. Note to self: buy a good field guide for birds. After lunch, I paddled another seven miles or so, stopping to chat with a group of fly fishermen who were after early catch-and-release brown trout. I made camp below Cable, just above Pacwawong Lake, had dinner, sat by my campfire, read my book, drank a little whiskey and watched the sun go down before climbing into my tent. I was on the water by 8 a.m. the following day. With water high enough to take the risk, I got my first real thrill ride in the Sans Souci II as I shot over the Pacwawong Dam instead of portaging around it. I was grateful for the spray skirt as the waves crashed over the kayak’s bow and would certainly have gotten me wet if I hadn’t had it. I was tempted to take the portage in reverse and shoot it again, but my better senses took hold and I pressed onward. My original take-out point was scheduled to be at Larsen Landing, north of Hayward. I arrived early, though, and was still feeling good. So, I called a pre-arranged audible and tacked on an additional three miles, paddling to Phipps Landing to meet my ride home. All told, it was a great first weekend on the river. I’m looking forward to my next chance to get out there. I’ll see you on the water.

to highlight some of the features of the area. After lunch, Douglas County Forester Mark Hager will conduct a short motorized tour of Douglas County Forest, to show-case the county’s forestry efforts and the contrast with the barrens habitat. The Bird Sanctuary is located south of Solon Springs. Follow Hwy 53 to about three miles north of Gordon, to its junction with Hwy M. A “WWOA” sign will indicate the Bird Sanctuary Club House. RSVP for the event to Kent Makela at 715-364-2598.

From May 2014 through March 2015, these artists gathered monthly at The Phipps Center for the Arts and other locations in the St. Croix River watershed for a series of seminars exploring three questions: What are sustainable art-making practices? What is the role of artists to increase public understanding of art and sustainable issues? How can artists effect change? The artists, all members of The Phipps’ “What We Need is Here” Seminar Arts Group, then created pieces to reflect the group’s experiences as related to watershed’s dual meaning: an area or region drained by a river and a time when important change happens. The St. Croix River Visitor Center is located at 401 North Hamilton Street in St. Croix Falls. It is open 9-5 daily. Admission is free.

DNR Wildlfe Biologist Bob Hanson will give a presentation on the area known as the Northwest Sands, which runs from the Moqua Barrrens in northeastern Bayfield County, through the Bird Sanctuary down to Grantsburg and on into Minnesota. This is critical sharp-tailed grouse habitat that is slowly disappearing. Bob will discuss the importance of fire-dependent ecosystems, the role of jack pine on the barrens landscape, and the variety of plants and animals that inhabit the Northwest Sands. Fred Strand, a retired DNR employee who managed the area for many years, will lead a brief motorized tour

Back then, EMS was a fledgling profession and EMS practitioners were only beginning to be recognized as a critical component of emergency medicine and the public health safety net. A lot has changed over the last four decades. EMS is now firmly established as a key component of the medical care continuum, and the important role of EMS practitioners in saving lives from sudden cardiac arrest and trauma; in getting people to the hospitals best equipped to treat heart attacks and strokes; and in showing caring and compassion to their patients in their most difficult moments. Whether it’s the team at Grady EMS in Atlanta who had the expertise to transport the nation’s first Ebola patient, the volunteer firefighters and flight medics called to search for and rescue survivors in the Everett, Wash. mudslide or the thousands of EMS responses that happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and don’t make the news, EMS is there for their communities at their greatest time of need.

Tigers trim Pirates BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—“Too many strikeouts for us,” commented Pirate coach Pete Johnson following the Pirates’ 5-2 loss to the Webster Tigers last Thursday night. Jack Washburn was on the mound for Webster and Tiger pitching accounted for 13 Pirate strikeouts. Webster got on the board in the first inning with Taran Wols singling and stealing second. He came home on a Paul Sargent single. The Tigers got another run in the second inning. Brad Sigfrids singled, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and came home on a ground out. Grantsburg made it 2-1 in the bottom of the third when Dakota Schultz walked, moved to second on a Jackson Gerber single, stole third and later came

home to score. Webster put two more up in their half of the fifth. Three consecutive walks by Austin Spafford, Taran Wols and Jack Washburn, coupled with a stolen base and two wild pitches, scored two additional runs. Both squads added a run in the respective halves of the seventh. Spafford walked and stole second. Taran Wols singled and Spafford came home on a passed ball. The Pirates saw Zach Tebow single, Bubba Bowman hit by a pitch, Jacob Barnard walk and David Nelson grounding out to score a run. “They made two or three more plays than we did tonight,” finished Coach Johnson. Clark took the loss for the Pirates, pitching a little more than five innings, allowing four runs, walking three and striking out five.

Sharing honors at Frederic golf match BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

FREDERIC—The Grantsburg Pirate golf team lost by a stroke to the Frederic/Luck coop team in Monday’s precursor to the conference meet later this week. “Frederic/Luck beat us by one stroke on their home course — and we didn’t play very well,” Pirate coach John Addison remarked. “I think that bodes well heading into conference and regional play.” The Pirates No. 1 golfer, Jordan Knutson, tied for medalist honors with Webster/Siren’s Tate Fohrenkamm, both shooting a 2-over 38. “Jordan was three-over on

Joey Duncan

the first two holes but played one-under the rest of the round,” Addison pointed out.

He said both Jared Lee and Joey Duncan had solid rounds, carding 43 and 47, respectively. Monday’s match also served as decision time for Addison, who went into the match with two players vying for the No. 5 spot, heading into Thursday’s conference match. “Colt (Lien) worked his way onto varsity and will be our fifth guy at Turtleback,” the coach noted. “Colt really earned it the last month of the season — the last two weeks especially.” Lien shot a 50 on Monday. Lane Johnson closed the scoring book for the Pirates, carding a 58. SEE GOLF, PAGE 20

CLEAR LAKE—While official results were not posted as of Wednesday morning, coaches knew which of their athletes achieved all-conference ranking at the close of the West Lakeland Conference track meet Tuesday night in Clear Lake. “The Webster Tigers had three conference champions Tuesday night,” coach Max Anderson reported. “Grant Preston won the discus with a throw of 142 feet and Andrew Ruiz won the 3200 meter run — both of these guys defended their titles from last season.” Ruiz was a double champion winning the 1600 meter run as

well. Second places earned all-conference honors as well and Webster was well represented in that regard. According to Anderson, the 4x800 meter relay team consisting of Joey Formanek, Hunter Erickson, Mason Schaaf and Ruiz ran to a 2nd place finish. “Grant followed his discus title with a runner-up finish in the shot put with a personal best throw of 44-6,” Anderson praised. The coach said Dustin Kern was a double all-conference athlete with a runner-up finish in both the 300 meter hurdles and 200 meter dash. “We were excited to see the kids’ hard work pay off,” Anderson concluded.

The Grantsburg Pirates had three conference champions as well. According to coach Brad Nelson, individual winners on the night included Kyle Fagnan, who took first in the 100 meter dash and John Chenal, who took first in the shot put. Teammates Andy Hartshorn, Camilo Volkmann, and Kevin Vollendorf along with Fagnan combined to win the 4X100 meter relay. “We had a very good night for the boys squad,” Nelson said. The Siren Dragons were not without all-conference performances of their own. Coach Wayne Koball said the Dragons 4X100 team earned all-conference honors.

CLEAR LAKE—It was still a guessing game when dawn broke Wednesday morning — official results of Tuesday’s West Lakeland Conference track meet had yet to be posted but there are all-conference performances among the three schools in in the county. “We think Delia Labatt broke her school records in the 200 meter dash and 400 meter dash and in doing so she also broke the conference records for those races,” Grantsburg Pirate coach Kim Hallberg noted. In addition, the team’s 4X800 relay team broke their school record again, Linda Harmon broke the school record in the triple jump, Violet Ohnstad may have broken the record in the 300 meter hurdles and Gracie Gerber might have broken Ashlee Rightman the school record for the 800 meter run. “Our girls ran an incredible meet — they were stretched and tired,” Hallberg opined. “Many of them ran three tough races along with field events.” Like the boys, the Lady Tigers fielded some all-conference performances Tuesday. “The girls had two conference champions,” coach Max Anderson remarked. “Sadie Koelz in the pole vault with a vault of 9 feet and Kaitlyn Moser won the shot put with a throw of 39-2 — the second best throw in school history.” According to Anderson, Moser also was second in the discus with a 99 foot throw. The Lady Dragons also brought home some all-conference performances. According to coach Wayne Koball, Ashlee Rightman and Alexa Buskirk went 1-2 in the long jump and Rightman also finished second in both the high jump and triple jump. “We were extremely well-prepared for the meet,” the coach commented.

Dragons lose two to Tigers split home double header Eagles BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—The Unity Eagles swept the double-header matchup against the Siren Dragons last Thursday by 16-2 and 10-0 margins. In game one, the Dragons got off to a fast start getting their runs in the top of the first inning. Brady Mangen singled and stole second. After a ground out, Ben Lemieux walked and Tyler Anton then reached on a fielder’s choice. Following a strike out, Aaron Ruud singled home the second run of the inning. Siren had a chance for scoring in the third inning. With one out, Ben Lemieux walked and Tyler Anton singled, but the runners were left on base. The fourth and fifth innings were both 1-2-3 for the Dragons. Unity, on the other hand, put seven on the board in the first inning, one in the third, three in the fourth and five in the fourth. Ben Lemieux lasted only one inning with Tyler Anton pitching the remaining four innings.

WEBSTER—“We just weren’t able to cool down the Spartans bats in this one,” explained Tiger coach Jarrod Washburn after a 16-7 loss to Somerset. “Our pitching struggled a bit to find the strike zone, walking 10 batters, and when we did, they really hit the ball well, getting 14 hits. Tough to win when you allow that many base runners but they’ve learned from it and I’m confident they’ll do much better in their next opportunity. “Offensively we swung the bats pretty good getting nine hits in all. Austin Spafford, Taran Wols, Jordan Larson and Jack Washburn each had two hits with Jack also getting four RBIs.” Paul Sargent. Caleb Pardun and Jordy Larson were the pitchers of record for the Tigers with Sargent taking the loss.

with Trenton on second and no one out, Jordy grounding out to second base won’t show up in the score book but getting the job done like that by moving him to third is just another example of us starting to do the little things needed to win these tight ball games and it was great to see. “Caleb Pardun had a great at-bat after falling down in the count 0-2 by fouling off multiple pitches and working a walk. Taran (Wols) came through with the final blow by driving a nice deep fly ball to center for a sac fly and game winning RBI for some nice clutch hitting by one of our seniors.” Gustafson got the win for the one inning he pitched and Webster scored. Sigfrids had pitched five innings, having five hits and four runs go against him. Taran Wols hurled one inning in relief with two hits and three runs charged to him. Going into Monday’s game, the Tigers were 4-4 in conference play and 8-7 overall.

GAME DAY

back after the bad loss in the morning game and come up with a nice walk-off win vs Barron,” commented Coach Washburn. “This one could’ve gone either way with multiple lead changes throughout and both teams finding ways to push runs across. Luckily, we had the last crack at it and were able to come up with the win. “Every guy in the lineup was able to get on base in some form with either a hit or a walk in this one, so it was a total team effort. Brad Sigfrids got the start in game two for us and I thought he threw the ball really well. He did still have a few times he got himself in trouble with walks, but he made a lot of big pitches with guys on base in big situations, so that’s a great sign of his growth mentally on the mound.” “Trevor Gustafson came in to pitch a scoreless seventh and keep us tied going into the bottom of the seventh. Trenton (Wols) leading off the last inning with that great atbat ending with a walk was huge. That put pressure on them with the winning run on the bases. (Later),

SHELL LAKE—“This was a good win for us,” said Pirate coach Pete Johnson following the nine-inning win over Shell Lake last Monday. “David (Nelson) came to the mound in a tight spot in the sixth and pitched very well.” The Pirates at that time were trailing by a single run, 4-3. “We hit way too many fly balls on a windy night. They hung in the air long enough for most of our outs.” Grantsburg scored three in their half of the first. With one out, Jackson Gerber and Zach Tebow each singled. Bubba Bowman walked. Jacob Barnard got on via an error. Luke Anderson singled in the next run. Shell Lake scored twice in the third and twice in the fourth to go up 4-3. The Pirates knotted it at four in the seventh inning. Tebow doubled and Bowman chased him home on

a single. Pirate pitching kept the Lakers from mounting any serious scoring threats. Grantsburg got their cushion runs in the ninth inning. Tebow got on via an error. One out later, Barnard singled. Luke Anderson was hit by a pitch. Austin Casey doubled in two runs and Majel Scmaltz singled in one. The Lakers went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth. “I’m always pleased when we can come from behind to pull out a win,” finished the coach.

Saints edge by Pirates “Good ballgame tonight. We did a much better job of holding runners than the last time we met,” reported Coach Johnson after a 4-3 loss to the Saints. “We had a couple of chances to make something happen late, but SCF made the plays.” With one out in the first, Jackson Gerber and Zach Tebow each

singled. Bubba Bowman grounded out, but Gerber made it home safely. The Saints also scored in their half of the inning on a double by Tyler Henk and a ground out by Jake Johnson. SCF added to their lead with two runs in the third on a walk by Petherbridge and a home run by Leahy. The Pirates got two in the fourth to knot the score at three. Tebow walked, Barnard got on via an error and stole second. Luke Anderson singled Tebow home and then Austin Casey grounded out to get Barnard home. St. Croix scored the game winner when Leahy singled, stole second and third and came home on a sacrifice by Alex Johnson. Grantsburg had two men on base in the top of the seventh but couldn’t get anyone home. Alex Johnson got the win for the Saints. Zach Tebow and Jackson Gerber were the hurlers for the Pirates.

Fohrenkamm medals at Gburg BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—One senior’s dominance on the golf course ebbed last Tuesday while another senior achieved a goal he set for himself when the season began. Tate Fohrenkamm, of the Webster/Siren co-op team, earned medalist honors by shooting a 2-over 34 on the 1,933-yard, par 32 layout at Grantsburg Golf Course. “Tate played extremely well,” coach Mat Wood praised. “I am extremely proud of him and am glad that all of his hard work is finally paying off.” Fellow golfers Alexi Gloodt and Brett Johnson each carded 44s, while Alec Ralph shot a 46 and Alex Strang scored a 48, but the coach was glad to see his No. 1 golfer taking a leadership role. “Hopefully Tate can continue to play well as our big conference championship meet is coming up this week,” Wood continued. “I hope he continues his successes.” As a team, Webster/Siren carded a 168, good for third place. Fohrenkamm’s 34 eclipsed

Grantsburg Pirate senior Jordan Knutson’s 36, although Knutson did earn runner-up status. Until Tuesday’s match, Knutson was medalist in every match this season. “It wasn’t his best performance — it wasn’t a great performance from anyone,” Pirate coach John Addison lamented. “No one seemed to be swinging well, plus they were making stupid mistakes.” The team did play a conference match in St. Croix Falls the day before, but the coach was sure that wasn’t the issue. He did see it as a learning experi-

ence for the team. “I really don’t think there was one reason — I think it was just a bad outing,” he reflected. “It was one of those ‘Two steps forward, one step back’ kind of days.” Jared Lee carded a 40, Colt Lien scored a 44, Joey Duncan shot a 45 and Paul MacKean scored a 46. As a team, the Pirates shot a 165, good for second behind the co-op team from Frederic/Luck which has sewn up the West Lakeland Conference title. The coach was able to find the silver lining of last Tuesday’s match. “Colt Lien played his first varsity match of his career and shot a 44,” Addison praised. “I’m very proud of Colt.” He said Lane Johnson also had another standout performance. “Colt and Lane seem to be vying for the fifth and final varsity roster spot heading into the conference match on Thursday,” Addison remarked. “It’s the old battle between senior and freshman‚ the end of the program versus the future of the program — and neither are making it easy for me.”

Pirates take two from Storm BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—At Parent’s Night for the Pirates, the Grantsburg team honored their moms and dads by winning both ends of the double header 17-2 and 15-0. Alaina Oachs was the starting pitcher for the Pirates. She allowed just two runs on two hits, walking five and striking out six. Allie Webster and Madison Freymiller both walked to start the game. Paige Bird and Rylee Anderson both singled. Sarah Shaffer got on via a fielder’s choice. The next two batters struck out to end the inning and all the scoring the Storm would do in this game. First time through the batting order, all the Pirates got to the plate and eventually scored. The highlight of the first inning was a double by Megan Miller. While still in the first inning, the Pi-

rates began their second time through the order and had five players get to the plate and two scored. Miller got another double her second at bat, putting the score at 11-0 Pirates by the end of inning #1. After the first two Storm players got on base, Oachs struck out the next three batters and ended the inning.

Pirates win at Hinckley meet BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

HINCKLEY, Minn.—The Grantsburg Pirates had to cross the river to get its first team victory of the season as it narrowly defeated Rush City 106-97 to win the Ron Jensen Invite track meet Thursday in Hinckley. “This was a fun meet for us, getting to run against schools we have never seen before,” Pirate coach Brad Nelson observed. “We did not know what to expect and were glad to see there was some tough competition in some races, but we also put in a strong showing.” The relay teams put in a strong showing, with the 4x800 team winning first place, the 4X400 team took second and the 4X200 and 4X100 teams pulling in thirds. Individually, Pirate John Chenal cleared 6-0 to win the high jump. Teammate Nate McKinley ran a 55.66 to finish second in the 400-meter dash. He also cleared 17-9.75 to finish third in the long jump. Andy Hartshorn earned a third in the 800-meter run by crossing the line in 2:13.41. “We set some new personal records, and helped settle our plans for the conference meet,” Nelson concluded.

— he made the adjustments necessary.” Teammate Josiah Wegner was second in both the long jump, clearing 18-8, and the triple jump covering 36-1.5.

Lady Pirates fourth at Rice Lake BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

RICE LAKE—Led by sprinter Delia Labatt and their 4X800 meter relay team, which came within a second of its season-best effort, the Lady Pirates of Grantsburg managed a fourth-place finish at the Rice Lake Rotary Invite last week. “We were very excited to compete in the Rice Lake meet as we knew we would be matched up to different and tough competition,” Pirate coach Kim Hallberg remarked. “We enjoyed the competition and were excited to take 4th as a team out of 14 teams — it was a great test for us.” Fellow Pirate coach Brad Nelson concurred. “Rice Lake is always a big meet with a lot of Division II schools, so we head into this meet with very different expectations,” he observed. “Our girls finished a solid 4th, which is really impressive because they lost only to Division 2 schools and even beat other D2 schools.”

Labatt scored firsts in the 100 meter dash with a time of 13.16, the 400-meter dash, crossing the line in 1:00.06 and second in the 200-meter dash, posting a time of 26.68, three-hundredths of a second behind the firstplace finisher. The 4X800 team of Hallie Jensen, Gracie Gerber, Brittanie Blume and Violet Ohnstad crossed the line in 10:29.17 for their runner-up finish. Individually, Jensen captured third in the 3200-meter run when she posted a time of 12:45.36.

Tigers In their last meet before the conference meet, the Lady Tigers of Webster managed an 11th-place finish. Kaitlyn Moser led the way for the Tigers, scoring a second in the shot put with an effort of 35-11.25. Teammate Sadie Koelz captured third in the pole vault, clearing 8-6. “It was a nice job for the lady’s team,” coach Roy Ward reported. “Hard to believe the big meets are

Tough competition at Rice Lake

sneaking up on us.”

Dragons

According to coach Wayne Koball, Ashlee Rightman continued her record-setting year by placing third in the triple jump, with a 31-7.5 effort. She was also 4th in the high jump, clearing 4-11, and covered 14-8.75, good for 6th in the long jump. “The goal of Tuesday night was to keep our eyes open, our ears open and our mouths shut,” Koball explained. “That goal was met and I know that because so many younger kids commented they learned more last night than they have all year — they got to see how truly talented athletes function in a big meet and they walked away with a new mental approach to track and field.”

GOLF: Ready for the conference Thursday CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

RICE LAKE—Competing against stiffer competition, according to coaches, makes for a stronger team down the road but doesn’t offer immediate benefits. That was clearly the case last Tuesday night when the Webster Tigers, the Siren Dragons and the Grantsburg Pirates finished 9th, 10th and 11th in the Rice Lake Rotary Invite track meet. Leading the way for the Tigers was Andrew Ruiz, who crossed the line first in the 3200-meter run with a time of 10:16.75. “It was his best time,” coach Roy Ward praised.

Dragons While not a regular event, Siren’s 4x100 meter boys relay for Shot and Discus throwers pulled in a first place. “The team of Keenan Cook, Noah Koball, Derek Highstrom and Tanner Lee ran a 57.15 and captured

the title,” coach Wayne Koball noted. “It may not have been the prettiest run, but it was exciting — these boys showed they are not just great in the circle, but they can run fast and turn left.” The other highlight for the Dragons belonged to Neil Oustigoff who placed 3rd in the high jump, clearing 5-11. “He continues to improve and learn with each meet,” Koball pointed out.

Pirates The only top-three finish for the Pirates was when the 4X100 meter throwers relay team of Walker Louis, Kalvin Watt, Hauk Moritz and Mason McEvers crossed the line in 52.24, good for third. “Our boys finished 11th, which is partly from tougher competition, but also moving a few people around in events,” coach Brad Nelson said. “When we face this kind of competition, it’s a good chance to shake things up and see where our strengths really are.”

EARLY DEADLINE Copy for the June 1 edition is due at noon on Friday, May 27

Three strokes behind Grantsburg and four behind Frederic/Luck sits the Fohrenkamm-led Webster/Siren squad. “I was very pleased with our performance Monday,” coach Mat Wood extolled. “Tate is striking the ball extremely well — I hope he continues his success during conference and regionals.” The coach said Brett Johnson shot his personal best with a 47 and Alec Ralph broke out of his slump with a 48. “Brett is really finding his stride as the season winds down and I hope Alec can continue golfing well — he is poised for a great showing at the conference match,” Wood continued. The coach said Connor Rashke shot his personal record (PR) Monday, carding a 48 as well. “He took off 14 strokes from the last time we played at Frederic— he has really been improving over the last few weeks,” the coach explained. “Overall, I am very proud of our golfers — they have been working extremely hard and are really starting to put good rounds together.” He said it will be tough to beat Luck-Frederic and Grantsburg in the All-Conference meet on Thursday. “They are going to give it their all,” Wood concluded.

Wig Run beneﬁts Faith’s Lodge

DANBURY—Faith’s Lodge will be one of the beneficiaries of the Sixth Annual Wig Run on May 29. Faith’s Lodge, a retreat center in Danbury, helps parents and families that are coping with the death or medically complex condition of a child. The organization will receive part of the event’s proceeds to support their mission to renew strength and build hope for the future of healing families, with part of the proceeds also benefitting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The 6th Annual Wig Run begins at 9 a.m. at Midtown Tavern in Webster on Sunday, May 29. What started as a motorcycle ride with family and friends for someone’s birthday on Memorial Day Weekend in 2010, has turned into something much more — a benefit for children with cancer and those parents who are coping with the death of a child. The Wig Run gathers 150 people from throughout Northwest Wisconsin and into Minnesota to ride their motorcycles donning fun and crazy wigs to draw awareness. The bikers leave at 10:30 a.m. sharp and have stops at Bonton (Luck), Spot Bar (Cumberland), Klop’s (Shell Lake), What the Heck (Webb Lake) and finally ending at Crow Bar (Webster) around 5 p.m. for live music by Freeway Jam and DJ Kevy D. Each stop includes raffle drawings. “It’s so rewarding to see how many people come and ride for a great cause,” said Jessica Holwell, one of the founders of the Wig Run. “With the support of local businesses and the community, we’ve really been able to grow this event each year.” “We are excited to be a part of the Wig Run this year and to have the opportunity to spread our message to help families cope with loss or illness,” said Kelly McDyre, Executive Director of Faith’s Lodge. Registration for the event takes place the day of at Midtown Tavern. The entry fee includes a wristband, bandana and dinner at the Crow Bar following the ride.

Joyful obedience

Pastor Eddie Crise Grace United Methodist Church

In the United Methodist Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communion service, there is a prayer of confession that ends with the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free us for joyful obedience through Jesus Christ our Lord.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve repeated these words quite a few times from the pews as well as from the pulpit, and I wondered: are joy and obedience really compatible? Can I faithfully follow God and do so full of joy? I believe that we all can act in obedience of God and do so with joy. One way to illustrate this meeting of joy and obedience actually comes from the world of education.

Maria Montessori was an innovative educator with schools that bear her name to this day. She believed that obedience develops naturally and that the third and final stage of development is joyful obedience. Such obedience is doing what we need to do and do it without asking. The key to it being joyful is that when the child reaches this stage, he or she is obedient due to a high level of self-respect. Imagine if we gave that joyful obedience to God. Our self-respect and obedience is grounded in our shared identities as children of God. The religious context that set up my

FREDERIC SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST

interest in joyful obedience is the prayer of confession. In his episcopal address to the international gathering of the United Methodist Church, Bishop Gregory Palmer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes courage and boldness to name our shortcomings.â&#x20AC;? As individuals, and even as a church , we fall short, but when we strive to live in joyful obedience, the world opens up. Living for God in joyful obedience means doing what God is calling you to do, doing what excites your heart, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meaningful to you and to the world. Obedience to God is absolutely full of joy.

No, there weren’t icebergs on Phantom Lake Saturday morning but a cold wind out of the northwest made kayaking a challenge for Cory Pratt and the other 100-some tri-athletes. TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL TODD BECKMANN | SENTINEL

Glad for a chance to get some feeling back in his toes, Greg Richert begins the 8-mile run to the ﬁnish line.

Bikers enjoyed a scenic route through Crex Meadows at the start of the race. Top, Chris Spaight (right) donned waders to schlep kayaks into Phantom Lake.
