Arrest made in McKenzie Landing altercation A&H—Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine has charged a Pepin, WI man with two counts of Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide and two counts of Aggravated Battery. The charges followed an altercation July 3 at McKenzie Landing Tavern in the Town of Scott, which sent two men to the hospital with serious injuries. According to authorities, Allen Gene Thomas, 53, of Pepin was taken into custody pursuant to an arrest warrant. Thomas is alleged to have attacked a 54-year-old man and a 60-year-old man with an edged-weapon during this incident, causing a slash wound to each of the victims’ necks.

Grace at work Grace Baptist Church in Grantsburg sent out 35 workers last Friday and Saturday to work on four projects throughout the community, including house painting and re-shingling a roof. Here, Pastor George Selbher works on painting the window trim of the Tim McKinley home. “These are the hands and feet of Jesus in action,” Selbher pointed out.

No tornado touchdown

SIREN—Despite numerous claims regarding Monday night’s storms, there was no tornado touchdown in Burnett County — just severe wind gusts, nasty-looking clouds and prodigious amounts of rain, with reports varying from four to six inches. “A tornado warning was issued briefly Monday night based on radar images, but it was quickly cancelled,” Burnett County Emergency Management Director Rhonda Reynolds commented Tuesday morning. “The highway department did report culvert washouts on Co. Rd A and Co. Rd. T, and the commissioner is working on those situations.” Several areas in Ashland, Bayfield, Iron, Sawyer and Washburn counties reported flooded roads and downed trees. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

If convicted, Thomas faces up to 60 years imprisonment on each Attempted Homicide charge, up to 15 years imprisonment and a $50,000 fine on each Aggravated Battery

Zilka throws hat in ring for 28th Assembly seat BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Voters in the 28th Assembly District will have a choice beyond Republican or Democrat come November after Vincent Zilka of Grantsburg announced his candidacy for the office earlier this summer. He’s a member of the Veterans Party of America. “We don’t feel like the current political parties are representing the people the way they are supposed to,” he explained of the two-year-old political party. “I’m tired of them being far-right and farleft, and no one covering the middle ground.” Zilka has considered running for office previously, but didn’t — so why 2016? “Realistically, there is one main issue,” Zilka pointed out. “The way politics are happening today — the way the coun-

ed earlier this year. “I had to interview with the Wisconsin Chapter of the Veterans Party of America to see if I had the potential to be a candidate for their party — to make sure I met their values,” Zilka remarked. “The interview went well and they said I should run for them.” After getting the stamp of approval to run under the Veterans Party of America, he had to get his name on the ballot — a process which had to be completed by June 1. “I got 253 qualifying signatures — I needed between 200 and 400,” Zilka remarked. And, since he was basically in catch-up mode, getting those signatures allowed him to learn about the 28th District. “I would ask people what they thought was important and what needed to be adSEE ZILKA, PAGE 6

‘Wake Up Call’ forced to change its name BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG — Grantsburg business owner Rhonda Miller certainly got a wake-up call when she received a letter from a lawyer in Spokane, Wash., at the end of June, informing her she was infringing on a trade-marked name. It seems her business, a coffee house in Grantsburg called the “Wake Up Call,” is trademarked by a six-outlet franchise in Spokane. “The letter said if I chose not to comply, I’d be guilty of willful infringement of the Spokane coffee houses,” Miller explained. “That would expose me to the liability of an injunction, the surrender of profits, recovery of damages to the Spokane clientele and litigation costs.” Given the distance, she was a little dumbfounded by the letter, but figures the lawyer found her via Facebook. “I first went to the Anderson Law Firm here in town, but they don’t do trademark litigation,” Miller said. “Then a customer referred me to a trademark lawyer in the Twin Cities, who said I had no choice about keeping the name.” So, that means the sign on wheels in front of her establishment, the sign on the building, any social media postings — it all has to come down as soon as possible. “Anything viewable to the public eye has to be taken down as soon as possible,” Miller continued. “The letter went on to say that if I was willing to comply, the lawyer didn’t think there’d be any charges.” So, she responded that she would comply and, in fact, the sign on

wheels has already been removed — the sign on the building is a different story. “I still owe on that sign, but now I’ll have to get a new sign made,” she pointed out. “The electrical and all the rest of it can stay up there, but the panel has to be removed.” According to the trademark lawyers and the research she has done on-line, the words “Wake,” “Up,” or “Call” cannot be used in her new name. “I opened here in 2012 — those franchises didn’t trademark until 2014,” Miller added. “The whole thing is stupid.” But, realizing she has little choice, she is moving forward. “The new name is going to be

‘Grantsburg Mo Joe,’” she stated. With such a specific name, she didn’t see the likelihood of another trademark issue coming down the road, but, by the same token, she didn’t see herself trademarking the new name. “The minimum expense to trademark would be $4,500 — I can’t do it,” Miller noted. “The chances of someone taking that name is small.” It almost ended up being the straw that broke the camel’s back. “As if it isn’t hard enough to be a small business owner in a small town,” she concluded. “I actually considered closing after I got that letter, but I’m not closing — at least for now.”

Geese purposely run-down A&H—For several weeks this summer, residents on North Sand Lake have been enjoying a large flock of Canada geese swimming in single file — a spectacle one observer said was a treasure — “it was a spectacular group of adult Canada geese, close to 30 geese —a beautiful scene whether one likes Canada geese or not.” That treasure was obliterated over the Fourth of July weekend. According to observers, a pontoon purposely ran them over, killing two of the birds, then returned and repeated the attack. Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact the Department of Natural Resources at 715866-8201.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Wisconsin’s nonpartisan elections board shuttered

MADISON (AP) — Whether Wisconsin’s unique nonpartisan elections board was a failed experiment or was so successful that it became a political target, this much is true: it went away this month. Targeted for elimination by Gov. Scott Walker and fellow Republicans who control the Legislature, the Government Accountability Board officially disbanded as of June 30. It was the only nonpartisan elections and oversight board in the country. In its place are two new commissions made up of partisan appointees that will regulate Wisconsin’s elections, ethics, campaign finance and lobbying laws. Those new commissions look a lot like the partisan panels that were widely disparaged as ineffective before they were replaced by the GAB eight years ago. The push to dismantle the board came after it approved an investigation into Walker and conservative groups that the Wisconsin Supreme Court eventually deemed to be unconstitutional. Critics of the GAB argued that the board was unfair and overzealous, pointing to the Walker probe as evidence. “I think people want a fresh start,” said Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, who voted for creating the GAB, but became one of its loudest critics. Part of that fresh start includes replacing the GAB’s executive director. At the same time the board of former judges is dissolved, executive director Kevin Kennedy is retiring. He has been working on Wisconsin elections for 37 years and has been in charge of them since 1983. As to what spelled the downfall of the board, Kennedy puts it this way: “The people in power did not like being held to account.”

Author Mike Elliott at Canoe Museum July 22 SPOONER—Mike Elliott, author of “This Old Canoe: How To Restore Your Wood Canvas Canoe,” is coming to the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum (WCHM) in Spooner for a presentation and book signing at 8 p.m. Friday, July 22. The book is a step-by-step guide through the process of transforming an old, forgotten canoe into a cherished, classic heirloom. Where other do-it-yourself canoe books concentrate mostly on building wooden canoes, this book is the only one available dedicated exclusively to the restoration of wood-canvas canoes. In his presentations, Elliott, who has restored more than 170 canoes since 2003, lets you in on the trade secrets of how to successfully return your canoe to its former glory. Using 300 photos and 70+ plans and illustrations, this book is designed to simplify the many challenging tasks of canoe restoration including canvassing, how to weave rattan seats and how to steam-bend wood. Elliott began restoring canoes as a hobby in 1995. That hobby bloomed into a full time career in 2003 when he opened Kettle River Canoes in Grand Forks, British Columbia, where he’s been restoring wood canvas canoes ever since. His popular Ca-

noeGuy’s Blog is read by more than 5,000 canoe enthusiasts each month. For more information, call 715-635-2479.

Family breakdown It’s been 20 years or more, but TV was first blamed for the breakdown of the family unit. That may be true as families moved their evening meals away from the dinner table so everyone could sit in front of the boob tube and be entertained. When I was younger, the dinner table was the place to relate the day’s happenings to your siblings and your folks, to discuss successes and failures in school, plan a baseball game for the next day after school or an upcoming family trip. But, the TV took away that Seems to “forced” integration between the generations — and rather Me than genuine conversations, was canned laughter to Todd Beckmann there fill the void. In fact, I read of a study where there was a direct correlation between the duration of genuine conversations and the length of commercials between TV shows. Sadly, with the steady progression of technology, the TV is no longer the culprit in the demise of the family unit. Don’t get me wrong — I think the technological advances which are being made can be incredibly beneficial, but like with diet, I believe moderation is the key. Yes, smartphones are incredibly powerful devices which can save us time and money in countless situations. However, I believe it is wrong to use them to text one another from opposite ends of the same couch. If the TV got us to stop talking to one another, technology not only furthered TV’s work as it has gotten us to stop writing to one another too. Seriously, when was the last time you pulled out the stationery, a fountain pen and the address book to write someone a letter? Yep, I’m guilty of that myself. The computer makes it way too easy to abandon all of those implements of yore and just dash off a quick email. And, since texting seems to be all about dropping vowels from words, I can’t help but wonder how long it’ll be before kids of today don’t know how to write. Like someone jokingly said, one day cursive writing will be code for us “old” folks. I only put it on the shoulders of kids because they are the ones being molded in the ways of the future — it’s one of those rare instances when it is good to be “an old dog” who chooses not to learn new tricks. And what about medical maladies? How long before we have the first case of carpal tunnel of the thumbs because kids spend all their time texting? What about strained neck muscles from looking at the device in your hands? Or the eyes — the list goes on. Like the bell which can’t be unrung, it seems like there’s no going back — rather, it’s full steam ahead. I guess I understand the thought process of the 1-to-1 Initiative schools are embarking on these days, but the reality is kids are being introduced to these devices at a younger and younger age — thus taking away some initiative to learn how to converse, how to spell and write — or, in some cases, to even tell time.

Taming Miss Macie I have lived the majority of my life in the company of cats and dogs. As a child, we always had a cat. My father didn’t feel it was fair to have a dog in town because it would need to be tied up nearly all of the time. He did relent once, and the German Shepherd- Col lie mix puppy that we owned briefly eventually went on to an illustrious From the career herding catPublisher’s tle. When I became Desk an adult, I brought Tom Stangl home stray cats and we eventually became dog owners. Teddy, the Keeshond/Springer Spaniel mix, was an excellent watchdog and playmate for my daughters during their childhood. I used to joke that when couples have reached the point in their life when they probably should be done having children, a sure-fire reminder of the wisdom of the decision not to have a baby is often found in getting a puppy. You deal with many of the same issues, but the commitment is not as long. I believe pet ownership enriches

a household in numerous ways. I find having cats and dogs who are glad to see you every time you come home can improve a bad day and dissipate stress. Pets teach us the power of unconditional love, offer amusement and companionship and eventually teach us that life is fleeting and how to grieve. We recently lost a 15-year-old cat to cancer and made the decision to adopt a new cat. It has been a long time since we had a kitten in our house, and we chose to adopt a one-year-old female from Arnell Humane Society in Amery. About three weeks ago, we adopted a calico and tortoise shell mix female, who we have named Macie. Long and lanky, Macie enjoys climbing to places where she really shouldn’t be climbing and is working on getting along with the other four-legged members of our household. It is a bit like having a toddler around the house, something my wife and I deal with when our granddaughters visit. There has been a great deal of moving items and reinforcing Macie’s name by telling her not to be in various spots around our home. She enjoys playing in the water, so time spent in the kitchen and the

bathroom are more challenging and more amusing. The dogs, who are about the same size as Macie, are still figuring out how to deal with the new cat. I believe they will become playmates at some point, as much as cats and dogs can play together. They already share space on my wife’s and my lap when we are reclining — a good first step. In preparing for this column, I read an article about a study of tortoise shell and calico cats done by a California university. The report noted that these cats were more likely to hiss, hit and generally be a bit more aggressive. Yup, that’s Macie. One of the benefits of having a younger cat in the house is that we are once again purchasing some cat toys. I’ve even noticed our other cats, ages 7 and 15, playing with the toys when they think we aren’t looking. If nothing else, I can say with confidence that Macie has made our home more interesting.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Clariﬁcation on guns

To the Editor: This letter is in response to the June 22 letter submitted by Mr. Richard Hess titled “Assault Rifles.” This is not intended to be an argument for or against gun control. It is intended to offer some clarification. In his letter, it seems as though Mr. Hess is advocating for gun control. In so doing, he begins his letter by describing an assault rifle as “a rapid-fire, magazine-fed, automatic rifle designed for infantry use.” Mr. Hess is correct in that is what an assault rifle is; however, it is not the rifle in question being discussed for or against gun control, and to use that definition is very misleading. The rifle being argued about in the gun control discussion is a semi-automatic AR-15 type of rifle. They are, for the vast majority of people who own them, today’s modern sporting rifle. Following are some facts about the rifle: 1) AR stands for “Armalite” after the company that developed them during the 1950s. It does not stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.” 2) Assault rifles, as described by Mr. Hess, have been severely restricted from civilian ownership/ use since 1934. 3) AR-15s and other type semi-automatic rifles may look like military rifles, such as the M16, but function like other semi-automatic, civilian sporting firearms, firing one round per pull/squeeze of the trigger. 4) Terms such as “assault weapon” and “weapon of war” are political terms used first in California during the 1980s by anti-gun legislators in an effort to ban semi-automatic rifles there. 5) Despite their appearance, these rifles come in several calibers ranging from .22 to .450, as well as .410 shotgun and pistol calibers such as 9mm, .40 and .45, with .223 being the most popular. 6) Civilian sporting rifles have evolved from their military predecessors since the 19th century. These modern sporting rifles simply follow that tradition. 7) These rifles’ accuracy, reliability, ruggedness and versatility serve target shooters and hunters well. They are true all-weather firearms. 8) Manufacturers make large capacity magazines for these rifles, depending on the size of the rounds. 9) These rifles are used for many different types of hunting, from varmint to big-game. And, they are used for target shooting, from personal to national matches. 10) These sporting rifles are no more powerful than any other rifle. In fact, the popular .223 is a much smaller round than the common big-game hunting calibers of 30–06, .308 and .300 Win.Mag. I am also a hunter, and I applaud Mr. Hess for his one-shot approach to hunting; however, the ethics of hunting is entirely different con-

versation. As stated earlier, this is intended to provide facts about the militarystyle sporting rifles in question so that, whether you are for or against gun control, you can at least engage in an informed discussion. Douglas Stubbe, Colonel, US Army (Ret) Webster

Vote for Mary Hoeft Aug. 9 To the Editor: I urge readers to vote for Mary Hoeft in the Democratic Primary election for U.S. House of Representatives on August 9. I’ve been a friend and colleague of Mary for the past 10 years. She and I both teach at UW-Barron County; she teaches Communications and Foreign Languages. Mary has the intelligence, optimism, energy, integrity, experience, and commitment to be an effective and trustworthy representative of the citizens of northern Wisconsin. From my experiences with Mary, I can plainly see that she is committed to education, justice, and transparency in all levels of government. She has been an active and natural leader on our campus. Mary has also consistently been an advocate for those with a “small voice;” I’ve witnessed her lend a hand to many students and colleagues who need a friend or an advocate when dealing with someone in power. Mary Hoeft understands the values and challenges of the citizens of northern Wisconsin. She has lived and worked in the Rce Lake community for more than 40 years. She interacts with families from many walks of lives through both the campus and her role in the Restorative Justice Program. She was born in Wisconsin. She has two children who are police officers; tragically, one died while in the line of duty. Mary is a grandmother. She lives in a modest home on the shores of Rice Lake and enjoys fried bluegills as much as I do!

While some of us have been resting up after the holiday, now it’s time to get ready for the annual “Watercross” this weekend. We’ll miss our seasonal campground families, as they pull out for a few days allowing the participants for the weekend to settle. So, take your time when you’re out and about, with all the extra traffic and people. Let’s hope the weather is warm and sunny. If you happen to see a red and white fire truck in the area, it’s Grantsburg’s. They’ll probably give it an updated paint job in the future to match the others. Of course, I’ve seen it practically daily as I just have to look out my window! For those who save box tops for the school, we now have a drop box at the center. We also have a container for eyeglasses that we collect for the Lion’s Club. Attention! Do you know anyone, possibly retired, looking for something to do, who might be interested in becoming a driver for the Volunteer Medical Transportation Program sponsored by the ADRC? Drivers are especially needed in the Grantsburg area. Please contact the ADRC at 877-4852372.

To the Editor: Mark Pettis suggests all good things locate to the right, like his political views. Even the heart, he claims, quoting Ecclesiastes, the Old Testament book written by King Solomon long before enlightenment. Had Mr. Pettis, a Siren School Board member, asked his science grads, he’d have learned the human heart is mostly on the left. And, if he continued reading into the New Testament, he’d learn that the political views of Jesus Christ are way to the left. Norman Jensen Siren and Madison

Wow!

states it will cost over $209 million. Compare that benefit for the wealthy to the burden on average Wisconsin taxpayers and families: cuts to schools and the University of Wisconsin system including Extension and the two-year Colleges; and the total disregard of roads and infrastructure in the rural north. A new memo from the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau shows that in the three years, 2010 through 2012, before this Janet credit started to take effect, Wisconsin gained Bewley 31,431 manufacturing jobs. In three years since the Wisconsin credit started to take effect Senator we’ve added 10,904 manufacturing jobs according to the gold standard Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. Wisconsin workers gained three times as many manufacturing jobs before the credit as they have since. Has the credit worked? The data available clearly says ‘no.’ And the wealthy few who received the credit don’t have to say or prove anything Our roads, our schools and our local universities have taken huge cuts. Property taxpayers have too often been asked to make up the difference. And $209 million is set to go out the door for a tax credit 99.8 percent of Wisconsin doesn’t qualify for — a giveaway that has resulted in fewer manufacturing jobs. It’s time to focus on our roads, our schools, and the well-being of taxpayers and families in the north. Giveaways to the privileged 0.18 percent are unfair and are taking us backwards.

People probably get tired of hearing me talk about how lucky we are to live in Northern Wisconsin. In addition to the abundant natural beauty, the people who live here have more than their fair share of creativity, energy and general stick-to-itiveness. Last Wednesday I saw a lot of that on display at the Northwest Regional Planning Commission’s annual meeting. The NWRPC is the oldest planning commission in Wisconsin and one of the first multi-county planning commissions in the nation. The people I talked with all share a commitment to do their best to build on our strengths and improve our economic standing. Unfortunately, choices being made in Madison by the Governor and the leaders of the legislature aren’t designed to benefit everyone. Instead, they benefit only a tiny fraction of the people in this great state. In the 2011 state budget, a provision was slipped in late in the process to phase in a so-called “Manufacturing and Agriculture” tax credit. It was supposed to be a boon to job creation and the state’s economy, even though no job creation or retention is required to claim the credit. What it’s proven to be is a shameless giveaway that has had negligible, if not negative, effect on our state’s economy. A memo released last week showed that a stunning $21 million of taxes the rest of us still have to pay will be given to just 11 people. No, that’s not 11 percent, that’s 11 people in a state of 5,771,337. Perhaps most alarmingly, just 2,280 people whose income exceeds $500,000 per year will receive a staggering $186 million. 99.8 percent of Wisconsin’s population cannot qualify for this credit. 2017 will be the first year that the MAC will be fully implemented, and the LFB

dressed,” Zilka recalled. “The more I talked to people, the more I learned.” So, after getting the signatures he needed, he already has a top-three list of what Assemblyman Zilka can attempt to address, should he win the election in November. “First and foremost is the idea that I don’t think the constituents of the district are being properly represented,” he opined. “Right now, the current legislator has ‘listening sessions’ — but, until I got into the race, I didn’t even know about them.” Therein lies the crux of his reason for running. “I didn’t know when they were, where they were or where to find out about them — and I thought ‘Why isn’t this something people are informed about?’” Zilka said. “I would continue the sessions, but let people know well ahead of time so people can make the choice to attend or not.” And, instead of one session in Grantsburg, for example, he would have an afternoon session and an evening session, so people who work evenings can attend or those who work days can attend. “That way, I can get as many people as possible,” Zilka added. Another issue is making sure all laws the Legislature considers meet the standard of the United States Constitution as well as the State of Wisconsin Constitution. “As an elected official, I’ll be sworn to uphold the constitution,” he stated. The third is making sure the budget is balanced. “I’d like to restructure Wisconsin’s tax code in order to eliminate

a large portion of the tax burden on the constituents and find others ways to finance the things that need to be financed — like schools and roads,” Zilka said. “I’d research South Dakota’s tax structure — they have zero percent income tax and zero percent corporate tax, yet they still are able to pay all their bills and meet their other obligations.” As a first-time candidate, Zilka sees those who are set in their ways as the biggest stumbling block in his run-up to the election in November. “I’m just one person in the district — my opinion is no more or less important than anyone else’s,” he reasoned. “I have to be willing and able to listen to the opinions of everyone in the district and form the best way forward — even if it’s not what I believe.” Zilka is the first to admit he doesn’t have a lot of experience when it comes to politics. “When I was a student at Pine Technical College, I was the shooter’s club president and a member of the student senate,” he laughed self-deprecatingly. Zilka’s background includes serving in the United States Army, working with a company called TACOM, as a training specialist, and currently serves as a CNC machinist at McNally’s Industries. Just in case you’re wondering, he has taken some heat regarding his “Duck Dynasty”-style beard. “Some people have told me I should shave it off,” Zilka concluded. “But, I see it as a barometer of my integrity — what does it say about me if I’m willing to shave my beard just to garner a few more votes?”

SIREN— In recognition of the 15th anniversary of the Siren tornado, Burnett County has purchased 360 weather radios to improve Burnett County’s alert and warning capabilities for severe weather. These radios will provide a 24-hour source of weather forecasts, watches, warnings, and non-weather emergency information from the National Weather Service and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The radio purchase was made available through grant dollars obtained by the Burnett County Department of Health and Human Services. Priority is being given to the following groups: ADRC clients, WIC, Meals on Wheels recipients, daycares, elderly and foster families. The limited number of remaining radios will be distributed through town and village clerks to those residents expressing an interest. “The early warning of possible danger gives you and your family time to act and stay safe,” says Rhonda Reynolds, Burnett County Emergency Management Director. NOAA Weather Radios, with an alarm and battery back-up, are one of

the best ways to provide family weather protection, especially at night when the alarm feature can wake you up during severe weather and give you and your family time to seek appropriate shelter. If there is no severe weather or emergency your radio can be switched to a silent, standby mode. eather radios come in many sizes, with a variety of functions and costs. They can be purchased at most electronic and home improvement stores. Most weather radio receivers are either battery-operated portables or AC-powered desktop models with battery backup. The portable weather radios are an important item to take along when you are enjoying the outdoors such as camping and boating. Many receivers have digital technology called Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) that allows users to program their radios to alarm only for hazardous conditions that affect their county. Reynolds says, “With 360 additional weather radios in the county, more residents will be able to listen to the weather radio warnings and take action right away. They will have a much better chance of surviving a disaster.”

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Wisconsin State Patrol sending 45 officers to RNC convention MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin will be sending 45 members of the State Patrol to Cleveland to help with security at the Republican National Convention. That is 11 percent of the State Patrol’s 409 sworn staff members.

Wisconsin Department of Transportation spokeswoman Patty Mayers says those going to the convention are being diverted from lower priority assignments and on overtime. She says all of the costs will be funded by Ohio through a mutual aid agreement.

Siren to get new police squad BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—The Siren Police Department will be sporting a new truck squad before the end of the year following action at the Siren Village Board meeting last week. “It’s way past due on its removal,” Chief Chris Sybers stated. “The squad we have now is a 2004 unit with 145,000 miles on it — the cost-ratio isn’t working for us any more.” When the day began, the police department had just shy of $14,000, but the board voted to roll Sybers’ unused budget, about $12,000, from 2015 into the outlay fund. That still leaves the department about $5,000 short when they are purchasing a $31,000 vehicle. “According to where we sell our old units, vehicles of that year and mileage are still getting between $5,000 and $7,000,” the chief pointed out. “Plus, one thing we have going for us is that we have put a lot of new parts into the squad.” The bid the board approved is for a 2016 Ford F150 Supercrew XL 4X4 from Fiedler Ford in Grantsburg. The bid was the highest of the three bids by a couple hundred dollars but Sybers said it was worth it. “It came with extras the other bid packages didn’t — like the back-up camera and the bumper guard,” he reported. “I have also heard agencies using Dodge trucks, including Burnett County, have had a lot of issues with the transmissions.” Board members did inquire why the department wanted another truck squad instead of a sedan. “With a 5-foot box, it allows me to carry more stuff,” Sybers explained. “Plus, we can haul an ATV in it.” He said his department will have to detail the silver truck once it’s delivered and all of the gear from the old squad will have to be transferred to the new vehicle. “The cage won’t fit, but our department has secured a $4,000 traffic-safety grant we can use to cover the cost of buying a new cage — it won’t cost the taxpayers a thing,” Sybers declared. The department is looking to roll with its new squad by October.

Late summer fun at the fair BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Always looking for the right mix of entertainment for its grandstand events, the Grantsburg Fair Board is going oldschool when it comes to the feature events for the 139th annual Agricultural Society Fair August 25-28 — at least for one of the evenings. Not to worry, the fair’s signature demolition derby will still take main stage on Saturday night, the grandstand event on the fair’s opening night is the horse showdeo and the fair concludes with the truck and tractor pull on Sunday afternoon. It was the Friday night event that had the board stymied — especially after last year’s lawnmower races didn’t do as well as expected. “We wanted to try an old-fashioned family fun night for Friday night,” Coke Scheider, fair board member, explained. The headline attraction for the evening is a tug-o-war competition. “It’ll be a double-elimination event with both men’s and women’s divisions and we are thinking of a $100 entry fee with 100 percent payback plus trophies,” fellow board

member Bruce Scheider added. “We haven’t set what the weight is yet, but the size of each team will be determined by total team weight — so it could be a lot of skinnier people or fewer heavier people. You have to decide which would be a better way to go.” He went on to say they are hoping to see some grudge matches develop — the fire department versus the Rendezvous, for example. Persons interested in signing up are urged to contact Jerry Kozak at 715-491-7928 for more details. Following the competition, the music duo Gypsy Wagyn will perform in the grandstand. The entire evening is a free-gate event. Also new for this year’s fair is the carnival as the fair board welcomes Spectrum Entertainment. New as well are advanced sales of wristbands —free carnival rides to those with wristbands. Wristband nights are 6-10 p.m. both Thursday and Friday nights and 1-5 p.m. on Saturday. “We are hoping to have those ready to go on sale about a month before the fair begins,” Bruce Scheider pointed out. “The wristbands will be $16 in advance com-

pared to $20 during the fair — if they buy early, they’ll get a card they can turn in at the fair for their wristband.” The cards will be on sale at Kozy Kitchen and the Burnett County Sentinel, for sure, and Scheider would like to see some of the area gas stations offer them as well. One of the other new events is a never-been-run class in the chainstock of Saturday’s demolition derby. As an added bonus, Hummer’s Rendezvous is putting up a $2,000 winner-take-all purse for the event. The fair board is adamant about guaranteed cash prizes for the different classes of the demo races. “Better purses make for better derby’s,” Bruce Scheider declared. “Now that drivers know what we offer in the way of guaranteed purses, and we actually pay what we say we’ll pay, we are expecting a pretty good turnout.” All the usual favorites, the parade on Saturday afternoon, the animal judging Thursday and Friday mornings, the power wheel class for kids at Saturday night’s demolition derby, the cookoff on Sunday morning and the machinery and tractor show on Saturday are all returning.

CUSHING—More than 90 attended the 78th Sterling Settler’s Picnic at the Cushing Community Center on June 26, starting promptly at noon with a photo of the over-80 gang. Marcie Marquardt led us in the singing of the table prayer, followed with an abundance of mouth-watering food, and wonderful fellowship with friends. The program opened with the Pledge of Allegiance, and appreciation to all who help make this picnic a success, including board members, the terling Eureka Laketown Historical Society (SELHS) and the Cushing Bank for ice cream. The Cushing Bank just celebrated its 102nd year and has supplied the ice cream for the picnic for 50 years! Russ Hanson asked for moment to reflect on the loss of friends who have passed this past year. Especially hard this year was the loss of our board member, Mark Johnson. We lost last year’s oldest woman, Jennie Nelson, and also Leland Harris, Arlene Danielson, Maxine (Harriet) Ross and Shirley Erickson Simons. Kristen Hanson entertained us with her gifted voice for a couple of a capella songs. She was followed by the day’s speaker, author Lisa Doerr, who presented us with a brief overview of her book, “Eureka Valley, Grandfathers’ Grandfathers.” Everyone enjoyed the wonderful display from the SELHS museum. Many took advantage to join or renew their SELHS memberships and received a bottle of Hanson’s Maple Syrup. If interested in joining, contact Russ Hanson. Each year we give awards to the Oldest Woman, Oldest Man and the Longest-Married Couple. This year ribbons went to: Oldest Woman: a tie, but between Verle Bergstrom (87) won out over Geri Swenson also (87). Oldest Man was Orlow Widvey (93), one day short of

his 94th. Longest-married couple was a tie too. Andy and Geri Swenson (68 yrs) won out over Myron and Verle Bergstrom (68 yrs). It came down to the month and day!

Celebrating 100 years of football in Grantsburg BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—Maybe it is only fitting that a new field awaits the 2016 Grantsburg Pirate football players and coaches when the team hits the gridiron next month. After all, 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of high school football in Grantsburg — and what better way to honor that achievement than honoring those who made it happen. To that end, a committee of sorts, including current coach Adam Hale, former coach Keith Lehne, athletic director Mike Amundson, booster club president Gina Schultz and dedicated athletic fan Stacy Coy, have organized to piece together a late-summer and early-fall celebration. The meat of the celebration kicks off when the Pirates kick off their season of five home games — which begins Aug. 19 versus Cumberland. The festivities continue the following week (Aug. 26) when the Pirates host the Frederic Vikings. “The Pirates first game in 1916 was against the Vikings,” Coy remarked. “It’s developed into something of a rivalry game and I think it’s meaningful that both teams still play one another.” The celebration continues Sept. 2 when the Pirates host the Webster Tigers and, then, on Sept. 9 when Washburn travels to Grantsburg. The 100-year celebration culminates with Grantsburg’s Homecoming game on Sept. 30 when they host the Cameron Comets. The program plans to honor letter-winning players from 1916-1929 at the Aug. 19 game, 1930-1959 at the Aug. 26 game, 1960-1979 at the Sept. 2 game, 1980-1999 at the Sept. 9 game and 2000-current at the Sept. 30 game. “There will be free admission for the football alums on the night their team is being honored,” Coy said. But, the 2016 games are simply a backdrop of the real celebration. “We want to honor former players and bring them out at halftime and introduce them to the fans,” Hale noted. “We are doing this early so if former players can make it, perhaps they could write down some anecdotes from their time playing the game, send those comments to us and we would get the

announcer to read them when they are introduced,” Coy added. In addition, the committee has been researching past teams —as well as past successes. “We’d like to enlarge pictures of our conference championship teams and have those displayed on the fence for fans to view as they walk to the stadium,” Hale commented. The research has n chiefly fallen on Lehne. “When I first started putting together stats and stuff from previous teams, I learned the WIAA first authorized football in Grants-burg in 1920,” he ce recalled. “I since ayton learned from Clayton (local historian Clayton Jorgensen) that Grantsburg aying football actually began playing in 1916 — so I’ve been researching those first four years.” It’s been fun for Lehne, one of the high

school’s history teachers, to dig into the teams’ past. “I learned when they first starting playing, they’d conduct practice during recess time and would only have after-school practice three nights a week,” he chuckled. “And, according to my research, the school didn’t field a team in 1927 because the students voted to have fall baseball instead of football.” But, the committee is still looking for artifacts to display during the h home games. “If you have pictures, yearbooks, jerseys, helmets, letter jackets, any thing like that, w we’d like to hear from you,” Schulpoi tz pointed out. “One hundred y years of football in Grantsburg is huge and we want it to be special spe — we hope it brings a lot of people back to town.” She said the committee is especially interested in seeing copies of the Grants-

burg Yearbook — yearbooks from 191621, 1923, 1932-1935 and 1937. The committee is also working on an on-going trivia contest to conduct during those home games. “Fans are going to have to start honing up on their Grantsburg football knowledge so they can participate in the contests during the game,” Coy remarked. The start of the whole celebration begins with the Pirate Football golf tournament fundraiser on July 23 at Grantsburg Municipal Golf Course. As we get closer to kicking off the season, the Tailgate Party in the high school parking lot on Aug. 6 is always a big draw. “Members of the team are serving dinner, there’s a raffle and door prizes,” Coy explained. “Then after dinner, Coach Hale introduces the 2016 team — that’s always fun.” Such an undertaking is by no means a five-person job, so the committee is urging those who could help to do so. Contact Schultz at Gina_Schultz120398@ yahoo.com, Coy at stacy@burnettcountysentinel.com or Lehne at klehn@ gk12.net if you think you can contribute to the celebration.

Steen competes at Olympic trials LUCK—“I have gotten a taste of what it is like at the big kids’ table, and now I know that I can rub elbows with them and compete with them,” declared Roger Steen after a failed attempt at qualifying for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “2020 in Tokyo can’t come soon enough.” A Luck High School graduate and current student at UW-Eau Claire, Steen won the 2015 NCAA Division III Indoor and Outdoor men’s track and field national titles in the shot put event, qualifying him for the Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon. “The Olympic Trials were an amazing experience

and an unforgettable one as well,” Steen observed. At Eugene, Steen’s best throw was 62 feet, 5 1/4-inches. “To recap what happened at trials, I threw the thirdbest throw of my life and finished 20th out of 24 in the U.S.,” he continued. “I moved my position up from where I qualified, but now I am more eager than ever to continue my training and my technique changes.” Ryan Crouser’s toss of 68-feet, 9 3/4-inches was the top throw of the day.

Viltz and Leer gain close Rice Lake Speedway wins BY ED REICHERT

RICE LAKE—Ryan Viltz and Matt Leer both won tight feature races to highlight the Kid’s Night racing program Saturday night at the Rice Lake Speedway. In Viltz’s case, he fought his way back in the late going after losing the lead part way through the Midwest Modified main event while Leer fought off a strong last lap challenge that saw the top three racers take the white flag three wide. Dominating performances were put on by Curt Myers and Kevin Bogdanovic to also win main events and Jason Havel made the biggest charge of the racing season to date, coming from fifteenth to win the

Pure Stock main event. The top twenty racers in a big Midwest Modified field were gleaned out to start their main event and after some smooth heat race action, the beginning laps of the Midwest Modified main were trying for everyone. Four yellows in the first two laps kept everyone on edge and several of the top challengers either finding themselves in the back of the pack or in the pits. Among the casualties was point leader Shane Halopka who got caught up in a first lap crash not of his doing and was forced to the pits, with Viltz’s victory later allowing him to take over the track point lead.

16 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

Sammy is a 16-year-old cat recently surrendered due to her owner’s health issues. When I first approached her condo, she was laying comfortably with her back to me. I spoke softly to Sammy in order to persuade her to come to the door. No luck. It seemed to me that she was standoffish, shy or perhaps deaf. But, it was none of the above. Once I opened Sammy’s door and started petting her, she turned around to face me and came closer and leaned into my Sammy hand. Sammy is so sweet, calm and gentle. You’d never know that she is a senior. This girl really needs to find a place to call home to live out the remainder of her life. There’s no telling how many years Sammy has Baby left, but I’ve known many cats that have lived long lives. Because we consider Sammy priceless, not to mention we want her to have the best home possible, we are waiving the adoption fee. This doesn’t mean she’ll go to just anyone. Sammy would do best in a quiet environment. We hope that one of the many animal lovers who read this article will open their heart and home to Sammy, and offer her a happy ending! It’s not the quantity – it’s the quality of life you can offer an animal. In return, you will get a lap warmer and sandpaper kisses. Baby is a one-and-a-half-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix. She is a short, solid girl with a golden brown coat. I first met her after she went for a walk with a couple of volunteers. They gave glowing reports about how well she did on the leash and how much she loves people. Baby always greets you with a smile, but sometimes, even when you are at her level on the floor of her kennel, she gets distracted with anyone lingering outside her area. It might be because each dog has a bucket of treats hanging from their gate that anyone passing by can give them. Baby did stay close to me and seemed to enjoy the attention, but didn’t make much eye contact because she was worried that she might miss out getting a treat from other visitors walking through the building. Food talks! She’s a real beauty and an all-around nice dog! If you are interested in adopting Sammy, Baby, or another animal 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.

Tree frogs trilling BY EMILY M. STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATOR AT THE CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Brilliant white trilliums nodded in the breeze and black flies chased me through the woods. My knobby tires crunched over sand and rocks on the Hatchery Creek mountain bike trail near Hayward. From the dense, green tree canopy overhead, dozens of warblers, vireos, flycatchers and scarlet tanagers belted out their beautiful (though aggressive) songs. Curving along a contoured trail cut precariously into the hillside, I caught a glimpse of sparkling water out of the corner of my eye. A small wetland thrummed with life at the toe of the slope. Through the cacophony of birds, a new sound filtered into my consciousness. Somewhat bird-like, these short trills seemed to add to the heat and humidity of the morning. The first of the gray tree frogs had made their entrance in the symphony of spring! Gray tree frogs freeze solid over the winter, just like wood frogs and spring peepers. They spend the winter as “frogsicles,” with over 80 percent of their body frozen and breathing and heart beat suspended. Although they thaw out early in spring—at the same time as peepers and wood frogs—gray tree frogs need to build up their energy reserves before they can start the strenuous business of attracting females. In contrast, the other two frogs take only a few days to recover from hibernation and start singing. As with most frogs and toads, females choose a mate based on the length and strength of the male’s call, as well as the quality of his territory. Therefore, it is worthwhile to a male frog to put a lot of energy into his in calling. Gray tree frogs spend most of the night shouting aerobically at about 60% of their maximum output. But when a female is near, they bump it up to near 100 percent for a short time. In order to accomplish these athletic feats of song, male frogs and toads have highly-developed body and trunk muscles. Packed with mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cells, the singing muscles have the capacity for high aerobic metabolism. Frogs and toads call for such a long time that their muscles must switch from burning carbs to burning fats, just like human endurance athletes. (I can only hope that my mountain bike ride is long enough to start burning some fat!) Those muscles are used to drive air over the vocal chords, producing the

SUBMITTED

surprisingly loud calls. Some frogs and toads can be as loud as a lawn mower. Luckily, they have an internal pressure system that keeps their own ear drums from vibrating excessively and therefore prevents hearing loss in the shouter himself. In contrast, the silent female frogs and toads have much less body muscle. Their specialization, after all, is quietly laying eggs. The most intense frog choruses occur on warm, cloudy nights, from dusk to midnight. But, the air temperature needs to be at least 60 degrees F for a tree frog to call, so the early singers often call during the warmer daylight hours instead. As you might imagine, loudly calling tree frogs can be vulnerable to predators. That’s one reason they prefer to sing at night, under cover of darkness. Males stay hidden in thick plants next to the shallow ponds where they prefer to breed. Gray-green, bark-like patterns on their skin make excellent camouflage. A tree branch overhanging the water is the perfect stage. Large, moist toe pads covered in mucous glands create enough surface tension to support the frog’s body mass as it climbs a tree—or your window. Climbing not only allows them to access safe singing stages and avoid predators all summer, it is also their main mode of hunting. Gray tree frogs search for tasty insects, larvae, mites, spiders and snails in the understory of wooded areas. They need a lot of food to fuel their spring chorus and will

even cannibalize a smaller tree frog if it fits in their mouth! If a predator—like any number of birds, snakes, other frogs and small mammals—goes after a tree frog, it will leap away, revealing bright yellow-orange skin on its inner thighs. The flash of aposematic coloration may startle the predator and allow the frog to escape. Pedaling off down the trail in my own flash of color (neon yellow!), I didn’t stop to search for one of the well-camouflaged singers. The bugs would have eaten me alive. Away from the wetland, bird songs dominated the airwaves again. But, the frogs were not forgotten. Later that evening, after washing mud spatters off my calves and fixing a flat tire, I sat down with my phenology journal to record the day’s new seasonal sightings. Tree frogs topped the list, in company with least flycatchers, scarlet tanagers and American toads. Closing the book and turning out the lamp, I let the noises of the house fade away. Then—through the open window— streamed the bird-like trill of a tree frog, singing near my neighborhood pond. The symphony of spring continues.

The Old Rugged Cross You see it on necklaces, on buildings and along the highway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the cross â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the great symbol of Christianity. The cross reminds us of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrificial and saving love. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Jesus died for our sins because He loved us. On the cross, just before He died, Jesus cried out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is finished!â&#x20AC;? On the cross, Jesus was forsaken of God, experienced hell, paid our debt and died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love that old cross, where the dearest and best, for a world of lost sinners was slain.â&#x20AC;? Then Jesus was taken down from the cross.

The cross is empty, and so is the tomb of Jesus! He rose from the dead! So a plain cross, an empty cross, is the great symbol of biblical Christianity. The cross shows how God has been personally and actively involved in world history. God in Christ became a man, experienced suffering, and was tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. The cross summarizes Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life of love. The cross demonstrates Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love. And, the cross is Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to Christians: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny

themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.â&#x20AC;? How? We follow Jesus through sacrificial love for others. We are to serve others as we are able; giving of our time, energy, money and our very selves, even when it is undeserved and inconvenient. The Apostle Peter wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Jesus) himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.â&#x20AC;? We sing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.â&#x20AC;?
