Single vehicle crash ends with arrest

GRANTSBURG—A comedian walks into a Grantsburg office and someone asks for his autograph. The comedian replies, “Sure, it’ll probably be worth about 31 cents in ten years.” That comedian is Gus Johnson. He grew up in Grantsburg and graduated from Grantsburg High School in 2014. Johnson began studying at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and at the same time started uploading videos onto YouTube and other social

media platforms. In May, he graduated from UW-Stout with a degree in entertainment design with a concentration in digital cinema. He has been licensing his videos out to large Facebook and Instagram pages and has been featured on multiple TV programs, including Tosh.O. Making short videos and making people laugh started at a young age for Johnson. “My grandpa owned a computer repair and photography shop just in town,” he recalled of CrexTechs. “So I always had access to a camera SEE JOHNSON, PAGE 2

TOWN OF DEWEY—On Sunday, June 3, 2018, at 2:09 pm, the Wisconsin State Patrol responded to a single-vehicle crash with injuries and entrapment on Swiss Chalet Road at Spring Lake Road in Burnett County near the Washburn County line. The operator and lone occupant of the vehicle, Raymond M. Heller, was extricated from the vehicle by the Shell Lake Fire Department. The trooper on scene was able to detect the odor of intoxicants coming from Heller, and the signs of impairment present led the trooper to place Heller under arrest for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants, third offense. North Memorial Ambulance transported Heller to Shell Lake Hospital where his injuries were treated and an evidentiary blood test sample was taken for analysis. Heller was to be released to a responsible party after the hospital was done treating his injuries.

Burnett Medical Center partners with Fairview Health Services MINNEAPOLIS — Fairview Health Services announced last week that it will begin providing consulting services to Burnett Medical Center, a critical access hospital in Grantsburg, approximately 80 miles northeast of Minneapolis. The agreement allows Fairview to provide professional counsel and expertise to Burnett Medical Center on topics including clinical operations, market analysis, strategic planning and finances.

“With expanded access in the East Metro through the addition of HealthEast to the Fairview system, we are well positioned to bring our expertise to western Wisconsin,” said Dan Fromm, Fairview’s chief financial officer. The consulting agreement builds on an existing partnership between the two organizations. Fairview already provides pharmacy services for Burnett,

including 24/7 coverage for the campus. “Our strongly held belief is that a partnership with Fairview will help us embrace the health care transformation from volume to value,” said Gordy Lewis, CEO of Burnett Medical Center. “Partnership with Fairview offers us a greater focus on wellness and population health and will help us meet our goal of seamless clinical integration across the spectrum of care.” Fairview has begun work to assess initial opportunities in areas such as supply chain, operations, telemedicine and more. Katie Holley, Fairview system business development and planning consultant, will join the Burnett Medical Center board as part of the agreement. “We are excited to expand our partnership with Burnett Medical Center,” Fromm said. “By collaborating, we can learn from one another and bring the expertise of a comprehensive health system like Fairview to the Grantsburg community.” Fairview Health Services (fairview. org) is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit health system driven to heal, discover and educate for longer, healthier lives. Founded in 1906, Fairview provides exceptional care to patients and communities as one of the most comprehensive and geographically accessible systems in Minnesota.

and editing computer.” He would ride his bike around with friends in sixth and seventh grade and they would “film stupid sketches that kids would think are funny.” He will be leaving small town Wisconsin life for the big lights of Los Angeles later this summer. He has already been working with a manager and plans on signing with a high-profile talent agency in hopes of expanding into acting roles. “It’s a bit of a hop,” Johnson said of the move to California. Johnson has been out on the West Coast for work and auditions for acting roles about 20 times. “Pretty much every weekend of my last semester of college I was on the West Coast,” Johnson said. “I’ve been flying to Denver, Portland and Arizona for shoots. Most of my friends are on the coast so that will help with the transition.” Johnson describes his YouTube channel as a wholesome environment where he takes pride in being the face and the butt of the joke. He describes his videos as a “series of short sketches and quick jokes that deal with aspects of life.” His collection of over 400 videos has amassed over one billion views on YouTube, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram. “I’ll probably hit, just on the YouTube channel, a 100 million views collectively in the next month or so,” Johnson said as if the number was inconsequential. He knows these things because he is

One of Johnson’s most popular characters is the Working Man. It’s based off of a guy that’s “kind of a hard head” that spoke in empty phrases. Johnson then took that to the extreme.

not just a “YouTuber,” he’s a business man and this has been his full-time job over the last year. “Business on Youtube is so volatile,” he said. “It’ll go up and down. The algorithm will change for how your channel will perform. Audience will change, trends will change.” Another aspect of being a YouTube creator is dealing with the comment section. “I don’t read the comments often. Mostly I’ll check them after posting a video to gauge what people think, but I’m not obsessed with it,” Johnson said. “When you’re small on the internet (Johnson’s channel currently has over 400,000 subscribers) you might get 20 comments. 19 might be ‘love the video’ or ‘this is so funny’ and then one comment will say ‘this is stupid’ and that will kill you for like two days.” A large majority of his income comes from ads, sponsorships and licensing deals. He also earns a modest amount on the site Patreon, which allows people to donate to creators they appreciate. “I would liken it to a PBS pledge drive,” Johnson said. “People can go on the site and say ‘I’m a fan of this program, I’m pledging this much a month to help support it.’” Johnson said it can be stressful trying to figure out how videos are performing on the site, gauging general interest and it can become time consuming. “I would say on average, a 30-second video would take about 4 or 5 hours to do,” Johnson said of the production process. “But sometimes I get really lucky and I feel so happy when I have an idea where I can literally pick up the camera, I don’t have to edit it, it’s just a one-take thing of a quick joke I came up with.” That is the exception in the creativity process. For his series “Working Man” each of the approximately 90-second videos took about 10 hours to produce. Johnson visited one other college before choosing UW-Stout. He did not think too much about the decision. “Whether or not it’s a good or bad habit, in my life, I kind of just go into things without a lot of foresight,” Johnson said. “I have kind of changed that in the last couple of years. Four years ago, I thought; I like shooting camera videos, I’ll try this!” Johnson told Pam Powers of UWStout’s Communication Department in an article featured on the school’s website and published by other local outlets, that he has appeared in six of the University Theatre productions. He said his favorite part was an evil dentist he played in “Little Shop of

Horrors” because he enjoyed playing the goofy villain in the production. “That’s why I’m expanding into acting, because I really enjoyed that type of work at Stout,” Johnson said. “I’m going to continue doing YouTube stuff as long as I can. No sense jumping ship on a formula that is still working for me.” Johnson had some advice for young people in Grantsburg and what small town life means to him. “I think it’s important for people to realize that, for better or worse, where you grew up is not what defines you as a person,” he stated. “A lot of young people think that their entire world is this encapsulated town that they grew up in and that can sometimes be really detrimental, especially if they didn’t have the best experience.” He continued by saying that small town life can be great, but it’s not everything. Johnson said his family is incredibly supportive of what he does and sometime features them in the videos. His mother Deb is more of a behind-thescenes presence. His father Pete has been featured in the “Working Man” series. When he was developing the character Mitchell Robins, he had his brother Sven manning the camera. “My parents, along with the entire family, are both really supportive of what I’m doing,” Johnson said. “They really like what I’m doing and they recognize that it is a job that I’m doing and that it makes me happy. So I’ve been very lucky for that reason.”

Social media is not for everyone Twitter, like all social media, is stupid, in my opinion. Although it is funny when a big pharma representative has to go on CNN and explain that “racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.” Sanofi makes the medication Ambien, but more on that later. It’s a place where people go to complain about things. It’s also a place where people try to tell jokes. Have you ever noticed that you never see a story on the nightly news about somebody making a funny Twitter joke and that person gets national praise and leads to a book deal, TV show and tell-all interview about their success? Me neither. But we all know of Sentinel someone who has tried to make a funny joke on Twitter and it has Editor blown up in their face and their Jonathan Richie career seemingly dismantled. Last week, Roseanne Barr tweeted a joke about former Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett coming from the Planet of the Apes. Black people have been compared to monkeys/apes for centuries in this country and it dates back to the 1800s to prove black people were inferior. Shortly after the tweet went out an ABC executive came out said the tweet was abhorrent and repugnant. Then, she announced Barr’s show had been canceled. Barr later apologized for the insensitive tweet, blamed it on Ambien and said she was done with the platform. But she was back at it the next day, going after other actors on the show. Obviously the shows fans were disappointed in the cancellation. “Roseanne” was a very real depiction of a working middle class family in the ‘90s. They didn’t live in a house that appeared to be cleaned by a maid and they had their power shutoff because they couldn’t afford to pay the bills. The show returned this year and ended the season as the second most watched program. ABC ordered a second season after the first episode aired to huge audiences this spring. One person I talked to about this said it’s okay to think things like Barr’s comments and to say them to people you know and trust, but why put it on the Internet for millions to see. My thinking on this is: here is a 65-year-old comedian using a platform ruled by young people of a different age and mindset from Barr. The platform has also turned into Outrage Central for young and old people. Very few people are understanding of attempts at humor on Twitter. Nothing can be earned from making edgy jokes like this on Twitter (that is coming from a former stand-up comedian). I joined Twitter to make jokes (and later to create my own digital newspaper). It used to be a bunch of nobodies trying to make each other laugh. Now it’s full of important people, who don’t need to be there, making very poor decisions.

I hope I’ll be too tough I hope you are enjoying the first weeks of summer. I know it doesn’t officially arrive until later this month, but it seems like once Memorial Day has passed and school adjourns, it’s summer. Summer is a time to slow down and enjoy the weather and relax. It’s also a great time to go see the latest, greatest blockbusters at the movie theaters. From the It’s been more Publisher’s of a struggle for Desk me to get out to theaters to see Tom Stangl movies, so I usuallly catch h them h on DVD. I’m just now seeing the hits from Christmas. Some of the blockbusters from yesteryear are still popular with me. Recently I caught the 1973 science fiction movie “Soylent Green.” The movie was made in a string of science fiction movies that starred one of my idols, Charlton Heston. He was in the first two “Planet of the Apes” movies and starred as the last human after a biological war in “The Omega Man.” Chuck had a knack of being able to sneer and snarl his way through these movies, always taking the moral high ground. “Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!” he

proclaims in “Planet of the Apes” as the first words heard from a human to an ape. At the end of the movie, when he discovers that humans have destroyed the planet: “You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!” Great stuff. In “Soylent Green,” New York City of 2022 is home to 40 million people. Global warming from pollution has made the planet hot and inhospitable and the population eats protein crackers from the Soylent Corporation. The newest cracker – Soylent Green – proves very popular. People are told that plankton from the ocean is what’s being used as the secret ingredient, but Heston discovers the truth. The great Edward G. Robinson is in the movie, his final role. Robinson plays a “book,” a police worker assigned to a detective (Heston). A book does research and knows the law. Robinson learns that the oceans are dead and decides to go to one of the many assisted suicide centers to end his life. At the center, he chooses his favorite color (orange), favorite music (classical – LIGHT classical) and gets to view scenes of nature and wildlife, accompanied by Beethoven’s sixth symphony (the Pastoral). Heston follows and learns the truth from Robinson. He follows

the disposal of Robinson’s body and learns that dead people are being turned into Soylent Green. Robinson knew that he was dying from cancer when he made the movie. He died before the movie was released. His performance during the scene where he has taken the suicide drug is more striking when you know this fact. Heston was moved to tears by Robinson’s performance in this scene and those are real tears you see on his face. The movie holds up fairly well 45 years after it hit theaters. The warnings about climate, unchecked corporations and government are still very valid today. I’ve always joked that I won’t get the respect that I have given elders during my life. If and when I make it to senior citizenhood, I more than likely will be turned into Soylent Green at the first sign of trouble. Yes, I know it’s a bit dark. If it happens, I hope I’m at least too chewy for a pleasant dining experience. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Abrahamson leaves legacy to remember WISPOLITICS.COM

When Shirley Abrahamson leaves the state Supreme Court next year, she will leave a legacy to remember. Fans and critics agree: the first woman to serve on the state high court had a huge impact. So big that Republicans adopted a constitutional amendment to push her out of the chief justice role. On May 30, the 84-year-old Abrahamson announced she wouldn’t seek re-election next year but will fill out her 10year term. She became the first woman to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court with her appointment in 1976 and then rose to chief justice. But she recently has been hearing cases via teleconference. “It is the right decision for me. More importantly, it is the right decision for the state,” Abrahamson said. When liberal Milwaukee County Judge Rebecca Dallet joins the Supreme Court later this year, it will close the conservative majority to 4-3. Holding Abrahamson’s seat in 2019 will be key for liberals if they want a shot at flipping the court’s majority in 2020, when conservative Justice Daniel Kelly would face voters. Already, conservative Appeals Court Judge Brian Hagedorn, who was appointed to the bench by Gov. Scott Walker, has indicated he’s considering a run next year. Following Abrahamson’s announcement, Court of Appeals Chief Judge Lisa Neubauer said she will consult with “colleagues, friends and family” about making a decision on a bid quickly. She added Abrahamson’s “legacy will be top of mind as I explore a run for the Supreme Court. Neubauer’s husband is a former chair of the state Democratic Party, while in January, her daughter Greta was elected to an Assembly seat representing Racine as a Democrat. Abrahamson has been praised by liberals as a trail-

blazer and has sometimes drawn the ire of conservatives over her four decades on the court. She vowed to continue expressing her point of view on the bench and “if principles and values integral to the great state of Wisconsin and its courts continue to be challenged, I will also express my views off the bench, if necessary and as appropriate.” “When I joined the court, I was given a voice — a voice that I have not hesitated to use,” Abrahamson said. “The best expression of appreciation I can give the people who have elected and repeatedly re-elected me is to continue to speak with the clarity, forthrightness and compassion that come from a life I have tried to devote to service and to justice for all.” Abrahamson noted in her announcement that she won full, 10-year terms on the bench with at least 55 percent of the vote each time and once hit 65 percent. Along the way, she earned a reputation as a trailblazer for female judges and built a national fundraising network that was unique among state Supreme Court justices. Her time as chief justice was also marked with controversy. Voters approved a GOP-authored constitutional amendment in 2015 to allow the justices to select who leads the court rather than bestowing that honor to the longest-serving member. Despite conservatives flipping control of the control, Abrahamson continued to hold onto the chief justice’s office, and she filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent the amendment from taking effect until after her 10-year term ended in 2019. That effort was rejected, and conservative Pat Roggensack has served as chief justice since 2015. Abrahamson’s 1999 re-election bid also laid bare tensions on the court as justices Bill Bablitch, Pat Crooks and Jon Wilcox supported her challenger, Green Bay attorney Sharren Rose. Abramson went on to win re-election by

an almost 2-to-1 margin. Madison attorney Lester Pines, who often represented Democratic causes before the court, called Abrahamson “one of the finest justices, if not the finest, who has served on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.” He said Abrahamson sided with individual rights even as courts in Wisconsin and nationally began sided more with corporate and monied interests. “I think that history will look back at Shirley Abrahamson as a stalwart of individual rights,” Pines said. Former Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske, who was appointed to the court by GOP Gov. Tommy Thompson and served with Abrahamson, said the outgoing justice had a deep impact on Wisconsin’s judicial system. Geske said Abrahamson worked to modernize how the courts operate and sought to make the courts accessible to the public. Geske said that includes often insisting people call her by her first name, rather than chief justice when she led the court. “She is an incredible scholar and brilliant, brilliant jurist who really taught me so much about being a judge and being a leader,” Geske said. “She’s left her fingerprints on a whole lot of what the Wisconsin courts are today.” Rick Esenberg, president of the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, said conservatives in the legal community often disagreed with Abrahamson’s rulings, but they also respect how effective she’s been on the court. “She was an effective champion for her view of the law,” Esenberg said. “She had a long career and a great impact on the court, and I wish her well in retirement.” The Capitol Report is written by editorial staff at WisPolitics.com, a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics, and is distributed for publication by members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

SHEILA HARSDORF DATCP SECRETARY

June Dairy Month is a great time to celebrate the dairy industry in America’s Dairyland, and enjoy the many delicious and nutritious dairy products produced right here in Wisconsin. Including dairy in your daily diet is a healthy choice for you and your family, and good news for dairy farmers. Sheila Each day we Harsdorf are faced with many beverDATCP age choices at Secretary restaurants, grocery stores, work and school. Milk is filled with nine essential nutrients, including calcium, protein and Vitamin D. U.S. per capita consumption of dairy products, including cheese, yogurt and butter, has continued to rise. In Wisconsin, there are plenty of cheeses to choose from as the state’s 1,200 cheesemakers produce more than 600 varieties. These include originals invented right here in Wisconsin like Colby and Brick, to specialty cheeses like Blue, Feta and Havarti. About 90 percent of Wisconsin milk is turned into cheese, and about 90 percent of Wisconsin cheese is sold outside the state. Last year, Wisconsin produced 3.37 billion pounds of cheese. That is 27 percent of the cheese in the United States. If Wisconsin were a country, it would rank fourth in world cheese production, behind only the United States, Germany and France. Wisconsin cheeses are the best of the best. At the 2017 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest, Wisconsin won more than 60 percent of the awards given. As a former dairy farmer, I am proud of our Wisconsin farm families. Wisconsin has more dairy farms than any other state with 96 percent being family-owned. These farms are diverse with varying types and sizes. Wisconsin leads the nation in the number of organic dairy farms, producing 10 percent of the country’s organic cow’s milk. As a leading dairy state the

industry benefits all of us, contributing more than $43 billion annually to the state economy. That means the dairy industry fuels the state economy at more than $82,500 per minute. Wisconsin is also home to advanced education programs at our colleges and universities, preparing young people for jobs in agriculture. The dairy industry itself employs nearly 80,000 people in the state in diverse careers, including animal nutrition, genetics, equipment engineering, marketing, finance, as well as farming. Dairy products from Wisconsin reach consumers around the world. In 2017, the state’s exports of dairy-related products were valued at nearly $300 million, an increase of almost 20 percent over the year before. The top export markets for Wisconsin dairy products are Canada, Mexico and China. Maintaining our current trading partners and developing new and expanded markets is a top priority as we work to grow exports. Research, at facilities such as the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research, is key to new product development to meet the needs of our customers worldwide. Many consumers are becoming farther removed from a parent or grandparent that is actively involved in production agriculture. June Dairy Month breakfasts and events, a Wisconsin tradition for nearly 50 years, provide a great opportunity to get back on the farm. While each event is unique, many offer the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal with a variety of dairy products, visit with friends, family and neighbors, and tour a farm. The Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin make it easy to find a farm breakfast or event near you at https://hooraywisconsindairy. com. Search by date, keyword or location. The site also includes recipes for every occasion and videos featuring stories of Wisconsin farm families. Please join me in celebrating our dairy industry this June and throughout the coming year. You can truly make the difference to thousands of Wisconsin farm families by eating, sharing and promoting dairy.

Jackson Fire Department dive team multiple rescues

GAYLE SHEAHEN

On Sunday, June 3, the Jackson Fire Department dive team recovered an old - possibly circa 1950s - pickup bed that was in 10 feet of water in North Sand Lake. It was located using sidescan sonar last weekend and recovered a week later. Dive team members believe it was set as a ﬁsh crib. On both dives the pickup bed was not holding any ﬁsh.

GAYLE SHEAHEN

Then on Sunday, May 20, the Jackson Fire Department dive team located and recovered a snowmobile that had been in the Yellow River channel south of the County Road U bridge since 2011. The snowmobile was rumored to have gone through the ice in 2011. The dive team used a sidescan sonar unit, purchased through a donation, to ﬁnd the snowmobile in the eight feet of water. Two divers located it with less than one foot of visibility, they used lift bags to raise and tow it to shore with the boat. When they opened to hood, the engine compartment was full of rock bass, crawﬁsh and bullhead. The sled was turned over to the Sheriff’s Department to locate the owner.

100 percent graduation rate for Siren seniors JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN –– This year 100 percent of Siren Seniors walked across the stage and graduated, a feat that many were proud of. “It took a lot of hard work,” Associate Principal Wayne Koball said. “A lot of people took a lot of time to help these kids walk across the stage. The students are the beneficiary and were very proud of that.” Native American Coordinator Tera Voss said the tribal student graduation rate was also 100 percent with five students graduating and Special Education Director Denise Johnston said that nine special education students graduated this year. SPRING SPORTS UPDATE School Board President Peggy Moore took time during her monthly report to congratulate the Siren Trap team on winning their conference. She also congratulated Russ Cook on being the top shooter in the state with a chance to move onto the national competition. Koball added that Cook has missed two birds all season with an average score of 24.8. The discussion then shifted to the track team and the athletes that are headed to the state track competition. “Noah Koball has qualified for throwing shot put and discus,” Shetler said. Julia Cederberg, discus, and Colton denHoed, 400 meters, also qualified for the state track meet. (See full state track results in sports section) The board also approved updating their concussion protocol through St. Croix Regional Medical Center. In the past the medical center covered the costs and now that will fall onto the district to pay for. WIAA rules state that all student athletes must complete a concussion screening test prior to any practice or game. Those test results are then compared to an identical test the student athlete takes if they are suspected of having a concussion. SUMMER SNACKS AND LUNCH PRICES Elementary principal Carrie Herman said that 140 students have signed up for summer school and transportation arrangements have been taken care of. She had been brainstorming on afternoon snacks for the students. If they have kids bring in snacks from home, some may not have anything to

OPEN HOUSE ~

eat or drink in the afternoon, Herman said. The board voted and approved that $1,000 out of the general fund will go to paying for all 140 students to get an afternoon snack during summer school. They also announced that lunch prices will be going up for the next school year. Shetler said that during their state audit the district was told that their breakfast and lunch prices were too low. Breakfast will still be free for early childhood students through second grade. Breakfast for third grade through fifth grade will now be $1.30, for grades six through eight it will be $1.50, high school students will pay $1.50 and adults will pay $2. Lunch prices will be $2 for early childhood through fifth grade students, sixth graders through high school seniors price will be $2.25 and adults will pay $4. TEACH INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS After Gov. Scott Walker announced Technology for Educational Achievement (TEACH) Information Technology Infrastructure grants for school districts across the state. These applications are available to schools with 16 or fewer students per square mile. Superintendent Kevin Shetler explained that Siren School District will receive $22,834. Those funds will go towards bus hotspots so students can use Wi-Fi internet on the school buses. They also plan on buying Wi-Fi hotspots that students can checkout for home use.

•

IN OTHER ITEMS: The board approved hiring Terri Moritz for the open Kindergarten position in closed session. The district is looking into purchasing group insurance for teachers and staff. It was mentioned that the district has had group insurance in the past. The main reason they are looking into group insurance is that it is cheaper that buying individual insurance. The board also approved purchasing updated Alternative Learning Center (ALC) curriculum which will cost around $2,300 with one copy to be held at the school and another to be at the ALC location.

Grantsburg and Siren Repairs to 1802 structures makes everything ‘new’ again at the Forts meeting children’s nutritional needs with summer food service Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to children during the summer months, the Siren School District announces the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program. This program fills a void created when school lunches are not available, helping parents meet the nutritional needs of their children is the strength of this program. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable. Free meals will be made available to eligible children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well. The amount of reimbursement received by a Summer Food Service Program sponsor is based upon the household incomes of the enrolled children. Children who are members of households receiving food stamps, FDPIR, W-2 (Wisconsin Works - Cash Benefits Only) benefits are automatically eligible to receive free meal benefits at eligible program sites. Meals are available without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service. Free meals will be served at the following locations, dates, and times: Siren School Commons: June 4 to June 22. Breakfast – 7:50 - 8:30 a.m. Lunch – 12 - 12:45 p.m. Grantsburg Elementary School: June 13 to July 11.

DANBURY—What do you do when a building that resembles an 1802 cabin needs repair? You call on a person who thinks like an 1802 Voyageur! Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park has four cabins built on the exact footprints of the 1802 fur trading post buildings. Some of the bottom logs on three of the four cabins were beginning to rot. The Board of Directors of the Burnett County Historical Society knew it would be quite a challenge to repair those bottom logs which were 12 inches in diameter and up to 17 feet long. Fortunately, Steve Wierschem, former director of The Forts, was up to the challenge. With the help of Jeff Jensen, Grounds and Maintenance Manager at The Forts, they dove into the project and completed it just in time for Opening Weekend at The Forts. You can admire their handi-

Northwest Passage receives grants from St. Croix Valley Foundation WEBSTER—Northwest Passage has received a pair of grants from the St. Croix Valley Foundation (SCVF) for two of its experiential programming projects. The two programs fuse therapeutic elements with nature in its treatment of youth facing challenges with their mental health. The first grant, totaling $3,000, funds the third annual Artist in Residence (AiR) program in partnership with the National Park Service and private funders. The artists will reside at a park property located along the Namekagon River, the Schaefer Cabin, and spend five days a week during June and July working with a variety of artistic mediums and the youth of Northwest Passage on collaborative art projects. Northwest Passage will welcome back artists Kat King and Christopher Lutter-Gardella in June and July, respectively.

Salmonella infections linked to chicken distributed by Ruby’s Pantry pop-up location MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Minnesota Department Agriculture (MDA), and local health departments are investigating at least four cases of salmonellosis affecting three Wisconsin residents and one Minnesota resident. All four of the patients received frozen breaded chicken products at a Ruby’s Pantry pop-up location before their illnesses. Specifically, a raw breaded chicken product, that may look fully cooked, was distributed to Ruby’s Pantry patrons without cooking instructions or labels stating that the product was raw. Anyone who received any unlabeled chicken products from any Ruby’s Pantry location is advised to either discard any remaining product or cook it to an internal temperature of 165ºF. These products may be raw even if they appear cooked. Ruby’s Pantry is cooperating with investi-

gators and has voluntarily agreed to not distribute any unlabeled chicken products. Raw chicken products can be contaminated with Salmonella or other pathogens. When handling raw chicken products, it is important to take steps to protect you and your family. The following tips are recommended for the safe handling of raw poultry. • Wash hands and surfaces often when handling raw poultry. • Separate raw meats and poultry from other foods in the refrigerator. • Refrigerate or freeze raw poultry promptly after purchasing. • Cook all raw poultry to an internal temperature of 165ºF. • Always follow manufacturer’s instructions provided on product packaging. • Place cooked poultry on a clean plate or platter before serving. • Report suspected food poisoning to your local health department. The Centers for Disease Control

It All Starts Here

and Prevention has information on safe handling of raw breaded chicken products on its food safety webpage. Salmonellosis is caused by Salmonella bacteria that are spread by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by direct or indirect contact with fecal matter from infected people or animals. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pains, fever, and vomiting that lasts for several days. Bloodstream infections can occur, but are rare, and can be quite serious in the very young and older people. Most people recover from salmonellosis on their own, but may require extra fluids to prevent dehydration. If you have consumed chicken from a Ruby’s Pantry and are experiencing symptoms of salmonellosis, contact your health care provider. Ill consumers in Wisconsin should also contact their local health department and ill Minnesotans should contact the Minnesota Department of Health.

Cumberland man faces multiple felony charges in spy camera case CUMBERLAND –– Randy J. Schamberger, 42, Cumberland is facing eight felony charges and one misdemeanor charge after a search warrant revealed Schamberger had allegedly captured video of patrons in a tanning booth. As a result of the search warrant and investigation, Schamberger was taken into custody and is being held in the Barron County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of Invasion of Privacy and a felony charge of Representations Depicting Nudity. According to the criminal complaint, a patron at the business found the spy camera when entering an area where a tanning bed was present. Mistaking the device for a USB cell phone charger, the patron removed it from the wall outlet. The device was turned over to the Cumberland Police. After removing a mini secure digital (SD) card from the device, an officer with the department discovered 67 video files which showed numerous persons undressing and in stages of full or partial nudity inside the tanning room at Sunshine Fitness. Officer John Smith, with the Cumberland Police Department states in the criminal complaint that the recording and the video recording device appeared to be motion-activated, since the device stopped recording when the person was tanning versus in the active movement stages of dressing or undressing. After researching the devices online, Smith learned for the device

‘After removing the mini SD card from the device, an officer discovered 67 video ﬁles.’ to be operational and to record any images, it has to be directly plugged into a 110 electrical power source to record. There is no way to remotely activate the device, so investigators surmised that the small device (approximately 2 1/8 inches long by 1 1/8 inches in length) could easily be concealed. Meeting with the owners of Sunshine Fitness and reviewing the video surveillance entry times and the persons recorded on the spy

cam, police were able to surmise that Schamberger was placing the device. Business records revealed that Schamberger’s wife had purchased tanning packages, giving her electronic fob 24 hour access to the tanning beds. A search warrant was executed on May 23 of Schamberger’s home in the Township of Cumberland. Law enforcement officers from the Cumberland Schamberger Police Department, Barron County Sheriff’s Department and agents from the Department of Justice executed the search warrant. Included in the items taken as evidence from the home were two separate iPads and several SD cards and electronic devices, and a USB charger at the residence. A search of Schamberger’s Amazon purchases revealed that a

‘Schamberger admitted that at least two or three different times he installed the spy camera.’ spy camera matching the description of the device found had been purchased. Schamberger admitted that at least two or three different times he installed the spy camera in the tanning room at Sunshine Fitness. Schamberger told police he removed the spy camera each time and would bring it back to his residence where, typically at night, when his wife was at work, he would download the images from the device onto either his cell phone or the iPads. Schamberger explained to police he downloaded the images from the spy camera by using a USB cable that would connect to the port on the USB charger which would then connect to his cell phone. He told police he viewed the images on either his cell phone or one of the two iPads that he had in the house. During a second interview, Schamberger said he installed the spy camera for the first time in the tanning room after he returned

from a vacation in March 2018. He told police he left it there for what he thought to be less than one week and then returned and

‘Business records revealed that Schamberger’s wife had purchased tanning packages, giving her elecronic fob 24 hour access to the tanning beds.’ removed the device from the wall outlet. Schamberger told police he viewed and then deleted the files from either his cell phone or one of the two iPad devices. He estimated there were approximately 30 actual video files that he viewed and deleted. According to the complaint, Schamberger told police he went back a few weeks later and installed the spy camera device again in the tanning room, returning less than one week later, removing the device and using the same process of reviewing and deleting the images captured. This time he viewed and deleted approximately 30 to 40 files of images from the spy camera on that occasion. According to the complaint, Schamberger admitted knowing there would be images of nudity on the images from the spy camera that he viewed. Schamberger returned a third time and placed the spy camera in the same outlet in the tanning room. When he returned a few days later to remove it, the camera was gone. While this case remains active at this time, the victims in this case have been contacted and police are trying to determine the length of time Schamberger has been using this device. If more images are found, police will attempt to notify the additional victims. At this time, there are eight victims. If convicted on all counts, Schamberger is facing up to 31 and ½ years in prison and up to $90,000 in fines.

Webster wins award during ceremony in Madison

Healthy Herbs SUSAN ARMSTRONG BURNETT COUNTY FARMERS MARKET MANAGER

Searching for that sweet spot where delicious and healthful meet? Herbs hit it perfectly. These luscious leaves — parsley, basil, cilantro, and the like — not only add enticing aroma, and fresh flavor to food, but also have remarkable health benefits. Health benefits - Herbs have been used since ancient times for their medicinal properties. More recently, they have been used for their health value. Herbs add a burst of flavor to food, allowing you to cut back on salt without sacrificing taste. Several herbs, including parsley, offer significant amounts of vitamins A, C and K. Buying and storing - The best way to have access to fresh herbs is to grow them yourself. You can also buy fresh cut herbs, but make sure the leaves are not wilted or yellowing. To store them, rinse and pat dry, then wrap them in a damp paper towel and place in a plastic bag or an airtight container. Unfortunately, fresh cut herbs are highly perishable. To preserve them longer, chop them and place in ice cube trays with stock or water, then freeze. Keep frozen until needed. Dried herbs are also a great option as they are easy to keep on hand and maintain the same benefits as fresh herbs. If a recipe calls for one tablespoon of a fresh chopped herb, you can generally substitute one teaspoon dried. Ways to herb up - You can add herbs to foods you are already making. Here are some easy options: • Add chopped fresh parsley to your scrambled eggs. • Tuck a few mint leaves and/or basil into your ham or turkey sandwich. • Pile fresh cilantro leaves onto your burger. • Add a generous pinch of minced oregano or thyme to your vinaigrette-type salad dressing. • Mix a handful of fresh Italian parsley or dill into your mashed potatoes. Stop by Siren’s farmer’s market to try some wonderful herbs! Every Saturday, 1 – 3 p.m. in the Tesora Restaurant parking lot.

If you’re ready to weather a storm, contact HSBC to meet this whirlwind. Speaking of energetic, Dash just wants to have fun! Dash is a young border collie mix with a bit of tan across his mask. This little bandit is about 40 pounds, has a docked tail and is housebroken. He needs a few manners but sits nicely and shakes for treats. Dash takes a great deal of interest in everything going on around him and does not want to miss a thing. He loves to play ball and would be thrilled if you were up to the task.

Tide pools! I took the scenic route along the coast from Anacortes, Washington, up to my friends’ house in Bellingham. Even though I’d just returned to the mainland from a couple days on Orcas Island, every glimpse of ocean through the trees was thrilling. With so many deep green islands dotting the sparkling blue, the view felt strangely similar to my beloved Boundary Waters—on a much larger scale. I’d enjoyed being out on the ferry, too, weaving among the San Juan Islands in a grander version of navigating the granite knobs of Saganaga Lake.

of these sort-of-familiar species may seem odd, but their friendly faces provide stabilizing anchors as I navigate new trails and recover from driving new freeways. Plus, when viewed from a certain angle, they are thrilling testaments to the steady march of evolution, adaptation, and the connectedness of life. It’s no accident that they look alike, and there are probably good reasons for them to be slightly different. One scenic pullout along the Chuckanut Drive seemed especially promising, with dirt paths disappearing over the steep bank. A young man with a dog on a leash

These acorn barnacles and snail are closed up tight against the drying sun. When the tide returns, the barnacles sweep feathery feet through the current to gather bits and pieces of food.

So much of this landscape feels familiar—but with a twist. Western species of hemlocks, firs, and cedars are much bigger than their Midwestern cousins. The towhees who call among those trees have prominent white wing spots, and the Pacific wrens—only recently recognized as a separate species from winter wrens—sing such a rapid-fire steam of notes that I couldn’t pretend to tell the two apart. The Pacific starflowers who glow in the understory are rounder and pinker than their cousins who are probably blooming along my Wisconsin driveway without me. My excitement at seeing all

bounded up out of the woods, exuberant about the beautiful, sunny weather. “Where does this trail go?” I asked. “To the beach!” he responded, so I set out through the forest in the direction he’d come from. The trail soon became a bit of a bushwhack among lush thickets of sword fern and the holly-like leaves of Oregon grape. Finally, through the cedar boughs, I spotted the ocean. From deep shade I entered bright sun on a stretch of beach intersected by toes of bedrock and strewn with giant boulders. After taking in the view of misty islands and blue waves, a sliver of bright purple shell in the wrack line caught my eye. The little ridge of debris pushed up by waves is an important resource for scavengers, and I scanned it for interesting bits, too. The bright reddish-purple shell of a shore crab contrasted brilliantly with a heap of vivid green seaweed. It wasn’t food for my belly, but nourishment for my eyes.

EMILY STONE

It was a beautiful beach, reminiscent of the North Shore of Lake Superior!

Soon I saw an odd pattern of sunken circles in the sand. Puzzling for a second, a halfformed thought nudged me to look around. Anemones! Of course! A flood of memories from teaching at an outdoor school in California washed over me. I’d stumbled on tidepools. This zone of constant flux is no day at the beach for the critters who must adapt to the seesaw of wet-dry, dark-light, warm-cold, and more or less saline conditions. Those who have adapted to this environment are amazing. Aggregating anemones, for instance, grow in colonies of genetically identical clones. They can reproduce asexually through binary fission, and over time one anemone can generate a carpet of replicas. The light green skin on the soft plop of their bodies is tinted by

symbiotic algae who provide sugars and oxygen in return for carbon dioxide and a safe place in the sun. The algae also create sunscreen to protect them both from excess rays. Pink tentacles waving in the center of a submerged anemone shoot deadly, harpoon-like nematocyst cells at small fish, snails or crabs. The exposed anemones had pulled their tentacles in and covered themselves with sand and shells to help

prevent desiccation. Higher up, in a bowl in one of the rocks, I found a true tidepool bustling with waving anemones and other life. From my perch above, I watched as an entire colony of fingertip-sized acorn barnacles licked the water in unison. Not tongues, but feathery legs ducked in and out of shells to sweep the mini currents for plankton and detritus. In the aquatic jungle, bushes of algae rustled with the action of crabs. Small snails crept over every surface. . . but not all of them were truly snails. After watching for several minutes I couldn’t resist. Scooping gently, I captured one of the dark, twisted shells in the palm of my hand. After just a second of hesitation, the cream and tan-striped legs and black-tipped eyestalks of a tiny hermit crab emerged. He righted himself, scuttled sideways, rolled again, and got back up. With soft, twisted bodies, hermit crabs need the protection of a borrowed shell to survive. The tide was returning by then, creeping up over the beds of anemones and pushing the wrack line higher. I giggled at the clown in my hand before putting him back and scrambling up to the forest. This juxtaposition of semi-familiar and completely peculiar is what makes travel so fun. Next stop: ALASKA!

Winifred Irene Lovejoy Dahlen passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 27, 2018. Love. Joy. Two words that so described our mother and were also her maiden name. Her 93 years were filled with her love of God a her church, love of her and f family, and the joy found in b being able to touch so many p people with her zest for life. Winnie’s life was honored w with a Mass of Christian B Burial held Monday, June 4, 2 2018 at Stella Maris Pari ish-Egg Harbor site with Fr. D David Ruby as celebrant. S was laid to rest in St. She J John the Baptist Cemetery, b beside her husband, Carl. Memorials may be given in Winifred’s name to Stella Maris Parish or St. Croix Hospice. Born Feb. 9, 1925 in Macedon, N.Y., Winnie was the youngest of 11 children and - with her passing - the last of her generation of Lovejoys. In 1944, she moved to the Midwest to wed Carl Rudolph Dahlen, a Baptist minister. Their marriage lasted 62 years until his death in 2005 and saw many changes including the addition of eight children (their infant son, Timothy Dwight, died at birth), moves throughout the Midwest, and even changes in which denomination of church they were active in! Intelligent, creative, engaging, faithful, kind, and a force of nature are all good ways to describe Winnie. She loved music of all kinds, both appreciated and created arts and crafts, loved the creativity found in cooking wonderful food, and thoroughly enjoyed beating anyone and everyone at any of the board games she played! Her love of reading was put to good use when reading to preschoolers as a volunteer with her Door County Homemakers group. She was very proud of being able to share her love of God with generations of children in her 40 years as a Faith Formation teacher in the Stella Maris Parish. She celebrated her love for her family at any occasion possible and created many memories with the holiday traditions she created and passed on. Winnie had a unique relationship with each of her seven children, often saying she intentionally raised each of them to be individuals. She welcomed and loved her daughters-in-law and sons-in-law, her 21 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren. She would often tell the story of her priest, talking with her after church, commenting that she had a good family…and her reply was, “I have a GREAT family!” In addition to her human family, Winnie had many furry children as well and Freddie, her companion for the past seven years, will certainly miss her. The loving memories and legacy of Winnie will continue with her children: Margaret (Richard) Grabowski, Thomas (Mardelle) Dahlen, Charles (Lynne) Dahlen, Juliana (Gary) Kannenberg, Brian (Suzanne) Dahlen, James (Rebecca) Dahlen, and Helen Lovejoy. She has now been reunited her parents; sisters and brother; husband, Carl; son, Timothy, and granddaughter, Jenny. Expressions of sympathy, memories, and photos of Winifred may be shared with her family through her tribute page at www.huehnsfuneralhome.com. Huehns Funeral Home in Sturgeon Bay assisted the Dahlen family with arrangements.

Pirates’ season ends in Sectional ﬁnals BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

SHELL LAKE—The Grantsburg Pirates’ fastpitch softball season came to end on Thursday night at the hands of the Thorp Cardinals. The Cardinals used their short game to take a 13-6 win over the Pirates and a trip to the State tourney in Madison. “Grantsburg’s game plan today was to count on our hitters to outscore Thorp. Six runs wins almost every sectional game in fastpitch, so that part of our plan went well,” Pirates assistant coach Steve Johnson said. “Thorp’s plan worked better. Their plan was bunt the ball, steal bases, and put the ball into play and see if Grantsburg could make good decisions and

cover the bunt. We did not. It was a classic fastpitch win. They executed perfectly and outplayed us. Congratulations to Thorp and we hope their trip to Madison is successfull.” On paper, some would say Grantsburg was the clear favorite going into this game. The Pirates had a record of 21-1 vs Thorp’s 16-7 record. The Pirates were conference champs while the Cardinals finished fourth in the West Cloverbelt Conference. But, the Pirates knew this game would be a tough one. These two teams had met early in the season at the Stillwater Dome with the Pirates holding on for a 3-2 win. But the Cardinals were without four of their starters during that contest. The Cardinals jumped out to an early lead, scoring two runs in the top half of the first inning. The Pirates seemed a bit nervous early on, making some uncharacteristic defense errors that the Cardinals took advantage of to take the lead. The Pirates answered with one run in the bottom of the inning when Emma Quimby scored on a double by Cassidy Chenal to make it a 2-1 game. The Cardinals like to bunt— a lot. They continued to use the bunt to keep the Pirates on their toes in the second inning and it worked as they added one more run in the second inning to go up 3-1. The game got a little out of control in the third inning when Thorp racked up seven runs to up their score to 10. Again, they continued to use the bunt to get on base and advance the runners, and Grantsburg continued to struggle to make the defensive plays needed to stop them. Grantsburg answered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the third to make it 10-4. Susan Roberts scored on a wild throw to second base to get things going for the Pirates. Mackenna Johnson was next to score off of a double over the centerfielder’s head by Brooke Quimby. Quimby scored on a dribbler to third base by Rachel Glover. Both teams were held scoreless in the fourth inning, keeping the score at 10-4.

Thorp added two more runs in the fifth while the Pirates added one to make it a 12-5 game. The Cardinals scored one run in the top of the seventh to make it 13-5 as the Pirates headed into the bottom of the seventh and their last chance to rally some runs. Unfortunately, the Pirates were only able to get one run across the plate on a big shot down the left field line by Glover which scored Chenal. The Pirates finish the season with an impressive 21-2 record and another West Lakeland Conference title and Regional Champsionship to add to the Grantsburg softball trophy shelf. They say good-bye to five seniors who will leave some big shoes to fill in Cassidy Chenal, Olivia Oachs, Mackenna Johnson, Rachel Glover and Belle Ress.

STATE TRACK: Local athletes leave their mark on LaCrosse CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

to be a thoroughly successful season for Leo. “Senior John Chenal made his third trip to La Crosse and, for the second year in a row, competed in both high jump and shot put. He matched his high jump PR, clearing 6’2” and finishing 9th out of 17. During the shot put prelims, he threw just over 49’, which was impressive, but not his best. Fortunately, it was good enough to get him into finals, where he threw a stunning 52’9.5”, increasing his PR by 1’8”, which bumped him from ninth place to second out of 16. This throw was the second time he broke his own school record and was a thrilling finish to his high school career. Now he retires the Grantsburg purple for the Madison red. “John and Leo’s combined performances, put the Grantsburg boys team 16th overall for Division 2, an impressive accomplishment. “With the season over, we feel a bit exhausted, a bit relieved, and very much proud of what our amazing athletes have done this year. Those who claimed All Conference titles, first place finishes, new personal records, Sectional competitors, and more can all be proud of what they did this year. For those who return next spring, we look forward to doing more incredible things! These kids never stop amazing us.” Pirates coach Kim Hallberg added, “John, Leo, and Alli made us proud with their state appearances. The spring weather started out tough on spring sports plus we were moved up to Division 2 which is much tougher competition. These three did an exceptional job on such a big stage. We have appreciated John’s efforts the past three years. He has certainly made his mark on the Grantsburg track and field program. We look forward to Leo and Alli coming back next year and hopefully with a return trip to state as we will compete back in Division 3 next year!” SIREN TRACK Julia Cederberg participated at LaCrosse in the discus and came in eighth place with a throw of 114-6. Colton den Hoed was in the 400 meter dash and

was third with a time of :50.7. Noah Koball kept up the Siren throwing image with a shot put toss of 41-1 and a discus throw of 133-10 WEBSTER TRACK “Wow, Awesome, Amazing, Dedicated, Crazy, Proud, Love, Heart, Guts, Strength are all words that describe the State Meet and the Athletes who participated in it,” Webster track coach Roy Ward said. The Tigers had good success at the State Track meet last weekend. Jeni Petersen came in ninth in the pole vault with an effort of 9-6. Mason Schaaf was in the 800 meter run and came in seventh place with a time of 1:59.93. Dustin Kern did the 300 meter hurdles in a time of :40.72 good

for sixth place. Austin Moser participated in both the shot put and the discus. In the shot, he was 12th with a throw of 46-3 ¾ and in the discus he had a throw of 147-7, good for seventh place. The 4x800 meter relay team, consisting of Joey Formanek, Carter Doriott, Hunter Erickson and Mason

More from coach Ward: “Webster had a nice group of athletes who comRoy Ward peted at Webster Track Coach the State meet. We love all of our track and field kids who participated this season. Qualifying for the State meet is a big goal for kids to work towards. Friday we started out with Austin Moser and Harlo Olson in the discus. Harlo threw 133’-3” and placed 13th. He is only a sophomore and has lots of room to improve. It was nice for him to get some experience at the State meet and get pumped to work hard for years to come. Austin threw the disc 147’-07”. This was his personal best. He landed in a tough place 7th being one spot away from receiving a medal. Austin also threw shot on Saturday. His throws were not his best, placing 12th with a throw of 46’-3.75”. Regardless of the place and distance, Austin is one of the best and had an amazing season. He really worked hard in the off season and participated in other sports. Nice Job Austin, proud of you! “Mason Schaaf ran the 800 on Friday. He was in the slow heat. His race strategy was executed perfectly. He is a smart runner and was only .1 seconds from placing 6th and earning a medal. He ran his career best time of 1:59.93. Way to go Mason, you got guts and heart! “Dustin Kern raced prelims on Friday in the 300m hurdles. He didn’t have his best race, but it was good enough to qualify for Saturday in the 9th position. Saturday was a different story. He ran a flawless race and made everyone cheer super loud when his name came up in 6th place earning a medal with his best ever time of 40.72. Dustin, it was great to see you work so hard and achieve a medal to show for it. I know you did some things that you didn’t enjoy and we are proud of you for doing it! “The boys 4x400 (Dustin Kern, Xavier Stanton, Mason Schaaf, Joey Formanek and alternates, Simeon Wilson & Carter Doriott) qualified with a time of 3:32.2. This race is always tight and very exciting. It is at the end of the meet and it is so much fun to watch. Each of the athletes run one painful lap as they try to push hard beginning to the end. Three of the four athletes are in other events and had raced three other times before racing in finals on Saturday. Dustin started off the relay and you could tell he wasn’t recovered from his hurdle races. He ran well, but not his best. Xavier improved his split from Friday. Both Mason and Joey were feeling similar to Dustin. Joey was our anchor and runs the fastest on the team. He was able to catch one team and finished us in 9th. We just didn’t

have any gas left in the tanks. I could tell right away that we were running tired. Hey, they are the 9th best in the State, that is awesome!!! Way to go boys! “Jeni Petersen pole vaulted on Saturday. It was a inconsistent day for her. Her steps are usually automatic, but that wasn’t the case. The good news is she is an amazing pole vaulter and very coachable. She always has a big smile and works super hard. She has a great foundation to build upon. Her vault of 9’-6” placed her 9th due. When she cleared her 9’-6” she was at least a foot over the bar. We both know that if we could come back in vault any other day, she would have been standing up on the podium. I guess we’ll have to wait a year, but it will make it all the sweeter. Jeni, I am proud that you didn’t make a bunch of excuses and cry about a day that just didn’t go as well as we hoped. You are best pole vaulter in my heart. “As Jeni was vaulting, the 4x800 ran an awesome race. Joey Formanek started off the race running in a smart position behind the pack. He made everyone else nervous, but I knew his race plan and he ran it perfectly. The second lap he passed them all and handed the baton off to Carter Doriott. Carter has been the key to the success of this team. He decided to come out for track this year and we needed another 800 meter runner. Carter was perfect for this spot. His work ethic matched that of his teammates and they all made each other better. Carter knew the split he needed and nailed it. He started off really fast, but was able to fight to the end and handed off to Hunter Erickson. Hunter was due for a good race and he came through huge! I knew when he handed off the baton to Mason Schaaf, that we had the best anchor in the race and we were going to pick up some more spots. Mason ran the perfect splits and pulled his team into 2nd place with their season best time of 8:18.63! We didn’t need alternates Xavier Stanton and Tanner Peterson, but thank you for being ready to go. It is nice to have alternates who are ready to step in if need be. There are two seniors, Joey and Mason who have had a great career as Webster Tigers. They will be missed and very hard to replace. I love you guys and thanks for the great memories!”

Another successful drug take back day MADISON––Attorney General Brad Schimel today announced 63,541 lbs. of unused medications were collected at Drug Take Back events on Saturday, April 28, 2018, at nearly 390 permanent drug collection receptacles located throughout the state. Wisconsin collected more unused medications than Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa combined. Since 2015, the Wisconsin Department of Justice has collected and disposed of 401,769 pounds of unused and unwanted medications. To see what it takes to process more than 60,000 lbs. of unused medications, the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) shared this time lapse of the drugs’ processing – facebook.com/ WisconsinAttorneyGeneral/videos/301154933646892. “Since my first day as attorney general, I have prioritized prevention because I know it is the key to stopping the opioid epidemic,” said Attorney General Schimel. “If more and more people continue to get hooked on these dangerous drugs, no amount of enforcement or treatment will put a stop to this public health crisis. But the success of Drug Take Back Day is proof positive that more people in Wisconsin are understanding their role in preventing the opioid epidemic from getting worse, and Wisconsin

is on the right track.” Fuchs Trucking has been a tremendously helpful partner in Wisconsin’s drug disposal effort. Fuchs Trucking provides the semi-trailers used to transport the unwanted and unused medications to Covanta Energy Corporation in Indianapolis where the drugs are incinerated. Fuchs Trucking provides this service at cost and does not profit from the Drug Take Back Program. “Fuchs Trucking is pleased to support the Drug Take Back Program since 2015 as it has grown from two loads twice a year to three loads twice a year.” said Jay Doescher, President of Fuchs Trucking. Statewide, 312 police and sheriffs’ departments hosted 163 Drug Take Back events on April 28. Across the state, law enforcement agencies, pharmacies, and hospitals have provided 390 permanent drug disposal drop boxes, giving citizens a convenient, environmentally-friendly, and anonymous way to dispose of unused medications all year long. Proper drug disposal is essential to preventing prescription painkiller abuse. Research has shown that 70 percent of initial painkiller abuse starts when drugs are obtained improperly from family members or friends.

Once again, Wisconsin was a national leader on Drug Take Back Day this April. Wisconsin had more law enforcement agencies participate in the biannual event than any other state in the country, and Wisconsin had the third largest collection in the nation. Only Texas and California collected more unused drugs and medications. Drug Take Back Day is a collaborative effort between public and private sector partners and would not be possible without the support of Covanta Energy, Fuchs Trucking, Indiana State Police, Waukesha County, Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, Wisconsin National Guard, Wisconsin State Patrol, U.S. DEA, and the 312 law enforcement agencies who participated in this April’s Drug Take Back Day. The 63,541 pounds of prescription drugs were boxed, palletized, shrink wrapped, and secured in three Fuchs Trucking semi-trailers for transportation to Covanta Energy Corporation in Indianapolis, where the drugs were incinerated on May 9.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Wisconsin farmers face new bridge restrictions

LA CROSSE—Wisconsin farmers and truckers are being forced to take long detours and haul half-filled loads to get their products to market as new weight restrictions were imposed on nearly 200 bridges. The restrictions were placed primarily on rural roads in the western part of the state, the La Crosse Tribune reported . Highway engineers are trying to account for the strain from newer trucks that use tightly-spaced axles to carry more weight in a smaller frame. “None posed an immediate safety concern, but each recommendation was made in the best interest of preserving the infrastructure and limiting unnecessary maintenance in the future,” David Hunt, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. “Many of these bridges were designed years ago without anticipating the multiple combinations of axles on today’s (special haul vehicles.)” State Department of Transportation officials have been re-evaluating more than 2,000 bridges over the past several years in order to meet a 2018 Federal Highway Administration deadline. Much of the focus has been on short-span bridges with timber and steel frame designs. Shane Goplin grows corn and beans in northern Trempealeau. His barn and fields are about four miles apart but the new bridge restrictions now make it a 17-mile journey, he said. “This is a very serious concern for us. We want to make sure farmers can get to and from their fields,” said Rob Richard, senior director of governmental relations for the Wisconsin Farm Bureau. “If they can’t make the quickest, most efficient route they’re just adding wear and tear to other roads. . Then it becomes a larger issue.” Gov. Scott Walker announced Friday that more than 100 bridges are slated for replacement with more than $76 million in state funds. Only eight of the restricted bridges are on the list. Transportation officials also recommended lifting restrictions on nearly 350 bridges that were stronger than previously thought.

The weather dampened a lot of spirits on Big Gust Days on Saturday, spoiling many events like the car show, tractors and other interests and activities as well. Thanks to all who helped us celebrate our Center’s 35th Anniversary on Saturday despite the rain and cold. We had a lot of laughs with a special couple who shared some sound advice on how one stays married for so many years. Just ask the Bjorklunds who just celebrated their 60th Anniversary May 31! I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of signs around introducing candidates for Burnett County Sheriff. We will be hosting a meet and greet with Tracy Finch on Thursday, June 21 at 4:30 p.m., just prior to our evening dining. Stop in and get acquainted. We will host one for Ryan Bybee in the future, too. We offer Wi-Fi, coffee and goodies, and check out the book nook. Questions on meal reservations, hall rentals, or other requests, call the center at 715-463-2940 or email us at gburg118@gmail.com.

We are finally getting some rain. We really needed rain as lawns and fields were becoming so dry. All the lakes needed rain to keep the levels up. Nobody gave me a list of who won the dollar bingo game. I can’t put your name in if you don’t give me the name. Our first holiday for the summer has come and gone. The time goes by so fast. We are marking the calendar for activities in July. June calendar does not have many open days to fill. We will be having our monthly potluck on Wednesday, June 13 at 11:30 a.m. Come and join us and then stay for 500. Our 500 winners were Gerry Vogel, Doris Knopik, Roger Greely, Dean Elken, and Pat Bresina. John Angell got the 9 bid. Spade winners were Anke Olesen, Steve Wenthe, Julie Schauer, Doug Harlander and Roger Greely. Nine bid was Shirley Doriott. Don’t forget Father’s Day is just around the corner.

Welcome to June. It is hard to believe that the year is almost half over already. Time sure flies when you are having fun. Eighteen came to play dime bingo and enjoy the treats furnished by Opal. Bernie won the big pot. We play at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Come and join us! Pool and dominoes are played every Thursday at 1 p.m. Always room for more. Birthday wishes to Pat O’Brien, Jane Wardean and to all others celebrating their special day this month. I am adding another year this month well. If you haven’t been to the center, stop in and check it out. Pick up a menu and sign up for lunch. Nikki serves delicious meals. We are always accepting donated items for our bargain table and other items that seniors might use, but please call and have someone meet you there. Don’t just leave things by the doors. They could be taken or rained on. We do appreciate all donations. The next potluck and horse race will be Saturday, June 9. Set up at 11 a.m. and eating at noon, with horse to follow. Our next monthly meeting will be at 12:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 12. Please plan to attend. We need some new ideas and suggestions. Remember: Over the Hill only means you are much wiser for having climbed the hill. See you at the center.

Coming Events: • Business meeting – the third Tuesday each month, 12:30 p.m. Everyone Welcome! • Bingo – the second Wednesday each month, 2:30 p.m. • Evening Dining—Thursday June 21, 5 p.m. • Historical Society presentation—Thursday June 21, 6 p.m. “Edible Plants” • Fun with Friends, every day!

Season of thanks

CJ Johnson Adventure Church

Where do I begin? I want to take this time to thank these awesome communities for welcoming my wife Cheryl and I here in this great northern Wisconsin area. We have been here now nine months and I can say that its been a great â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adventureâ&#x20AC;? with God, our church, and the surrounding communities. I know that its not Thanksgiving or even a holiday in which we say thank you, but being thankful is not just a holiday experience, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an everyday occurrence to praise and honor our God in all circumstances. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of

God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 In these verses it gives steps to follow to walk in joy and peace and strength as we praise and honor Him. I moved here from the Twin Cities where people are always on the go and traffic is crazy. I was never so thankful for a smaller community over Memorial Day weekend with all the traffic here it reminded me of the Twin Cities, where I had to wait 12 minutes in my driveway to get onto the road. God doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want us to just thank Him in the big things, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the little things that lead

us to the bigger things in life. The secret to being blessed with God is being thankful in all circumstances, whether good or bad. You get Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention when you praise and thank Him each day. Being thankful should be like taking your one-aday vitamins. Its makes you health, wealthy and wise. Rejoice in the Lord always for this is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will for you in Christ Jesus. Your attitude determines your altitude. How are you starting off each day? What you magnify will become bigger and stronger. Why not magnify the Lord with praise and thanksgiving and allow thankfulness to overflow you heart, thoughts and mind?

“It’s all about your choices” JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG –– It is not necessarily new advice, but it is important advice. “Choices you make today or have already made in your life will have an affect on the rest of your life,” said Pine City Technical and Community College President Joe Mulford. Grantsburg Junior boys arrived at Crex Convention Center for the annual Men of Tomorrow Luncheon. It’s an opportunity for the group to get a feel for careers they may be interested in. They also get the chance to dress up a bit more formal and practice proper etiquette when eating. Of the nine tables there were engineers, workers from the DNR, medical professionals and law enforcement to name a few. Students were to pick these professionals’ brains about their job and how they got there. “We want the students to ask all kinds of questions to these mentors,” said event organizer Suzie Retzer. “I always tell the students to ask about the best and worst part of the job. Also, we encourage them to ask about what their days are like at work.” Retzer also organizes the Women of Tomorrow Lun-

cheon which took place last year in December and UW-Superior Vice Chancellor Brenda Harms was the keynote speaker for Grantsburg’s junior girls. High School Principal Josh Watt said that this event is a great way for students to connect with professionals. “Students get to sit with doctors and teachers and really see what that career is really all about,” Watt said. “They get to ask specific questions and

find out what engineers do on a daily basis.” Mulford was the keynote speaker and he began with a personal story. He was an athlete in high school and was planning on joining the military after graduation.

“That was my goal, to join the U.S. Army,” Mulford said. “There was a program that allowed me to do basic training after my junior year of high school and then I would join before going to college.” During his senior year he ruptured his spleen during a football game and was classified 4-F, unfit for service. “So that option was off the table,” he said. “But I was a high school athlete and could run fast. So I ended up being recruited for athletics in college.” As a educational professional Mulford brought some statistics from east central Minnesota and said they are basically the same statistics for west central, northern Wisconsin. “70 percent of of jobs in this area require some form of post-secondary education,” Mulford said. “This says that although we aren’t in Silicon Valley we still have a high-tech economy. This means students and job seekers with technical skills have more choices.” He said that 65 percent of job seekers cannot apply for certain jobs because they have a criminal record. “Early in life someone told me the difference between a boy and a man is being able to take care of yourself,” Mulford explained. “And you will find

out it takes more than $15 an hour to pay the bills.” Mulford reiterated that even though he is the president of a technical college he was not there to recruit students. “There are many options and a two-year college is not for everyone. There are four-year paths or even apprenticeships, that might be your best option,” Mulford said. Watt explained that this is one of the most valuable opportunities the high school offers because of the personalization and the one-on-one experience. At one of the tables was Justin Peterson. He said his dream job would be golf course manager and was seated with Grantsburg Golf Course manager John Addison. The pair talked about Peterson’s personal goals, grades and aspirations. “So what’s it’s like being quizzed on grades by a couple of old guys,” Addison asked

Peterson. Peterson chuckled and hinted he might want to also be a writer. Although he admitted his teachers may not know that is something he’s interested in. Addison continued to give him advice about going to college and possibly turf management school. “When you get (to college) don’t necessarily worry about the long term because very few people go into college and come out with the same ideas and goals,” Addison said. During his speech, Mulford quoted an old Japanese saying, “little up every day – big up one day”. “It means that if you work toward something even though you may not be making huge strides and it may not seem like much,” Mulford said. “Then eventually you have your resume read to a room full of people and realize how far you’ve come.”

Nelson students help Burnett Dairy The Burnett Dairy Cooperative was looking for help from the public to choose a name for their cow recently “We asked for name suggestions on Facebook a few weeks ago,” Jenny Binversie of Burnett Dairy said. “The post had a great response and it garnered more than 275 unique names. Thank you, Facebook fans! With help from my fellow co-workers, we narrowed it down to three favorites and we then handed them over to Nelson Elementary. The three names we submitted to the

children were: Alphie, Bessie and Burnetta. The children voted on Thursday, May 31st and Alphie got 35 votes, Bessie got 19 and Burnetta received 53 votes.” “How did we choose Nelson?” Binversie quipped. “I originally spoke with one of my friends, Angie Anderson, who is a third grade teacher at the Grantsburg Elementary School. I told her I’d love to have assistance from the local children and she was immediately on board. Angie helped me get in contact with Mrs. Beth Bartlett,

a 4K teacher at Nelson Elementary, and Beth loved the idea as well. Nelson Elementary, home to Grantsburg’s 4k and kindergarten classes, was a perfect fit because of its close location to Burnett Dairy and the age of the children.” “We were thrilled to work with the students and staff at Nelson Elementary. The children did a wonderful job voting and we can’t thank them enough” added Binversie. “We absolutely love the name, Burnetta!”
