Town, village boards start ﬂood repairs BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN–Burnett County town and village board members met Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 16, at theBurnett County Government Center to learn more about disaster

relief funds that the President approved to help repair Wisconsin’s July storm and flood damage. Burnett County Emergency Management Director Rhonda Reynolds led the meeting, with assistance from County Highway Commissioner Mike Hoefs.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced Aug. 9 that federal disaster aid will be provided to the state of Wisconsin to supplement tribal,

water and sometimes causes the water to turn bright green. Water from the Siren treatment plant flows into wetlands adjoining Little Doctor and Big Doctor Lakes, but the phosphorous level exceeds the wetlands’ ability to filter it out.

JACK ROBERT GARCIA Jack Robert Garcia of Braham and Richfield, Minn., made his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon on a variety of felony charges stemming from an alleged shooting July 17 in Siren, in which one man was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital with a gunshot wound to the thigh. Garcia, 42, was represented in court by Public Defender James McLaughlin. Garcia entered not guilty pleas on all charges. His next court appearance will be at a status Jack Garcia conference at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 2. Garcia remains in custody in Burnett County

Working with the lake association BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—In a special meeting on Tuesday morning, Aug. 9, the Siren Village Board accepted an offer of private funds to help pay part of the cost of adding a waste water treatment chemical that eventually will make the water clearer in Big Doc-

tor Lake. The village board agreed to start adding aluminum sulfate (alum) to waste water at the Siren sewage treatment plant to reduce the high level of phosphorous getting into the lake via Siren sewage plant effluent. Excess phosphorous increases algae growth in the lake

DOROTHY ANN WHITE Several church members and the pastor of Bethany Lutheran Church of rural Grantsburg watched from the courtroom’s spectator area Wednesday morning as their former church treasurer, Dorothy Ann White, made her first appearance on three charges of allegedly embezzling money from the church. She was represented by Attorney David Grindell. In response to questions from Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Kutz, White waived her right to a preliminary hearing. Judge Kutz found probable cause exists to believe White may have committed one or more felonies, and bound her over for trial. Grindell told the judge his client had reviewed the three charges filed against her and understood the charges. She pleaded not guilty to each. White had previously posted bond and was accompanied to court by her husband. The case’s next court date will be a status conference at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26 in Burnett County Circuit Court. At that time, attorneys for the State and White will consult and determine whether there is an opportunity to settle the case or move toward setting a trial date. White, 61, was charged in March with three counts of theft from Bethany during a three-year period, totaling more than $83,000.

Making headway

The new above-ground gasoline tank was delivered Wednesday to the Country Store in Grantsburg. According to owners Ciff and Darla Harper, the custom-made tank is the only one like it in the entire state. She said the store is anxious to be selling gas again and ﬁnal hookups are being made this week with the intent of dispensing gas by the middle of next week. “We’ve had enough of this,” Darla laughed.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Most Wisconsin voters still dislike Trump, Clinton MADISON, Wis. (AP)—Most Wisconsin voters still don’t like presidential nominees Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton very much. A Marquette University Law School

poll released Wednesday shows that 65 percent of registered voters have an unfavorable view of Trump. Clinton’s unfavorable rating is at 53 percent. Trump’s view with voters worsened from July, when 63 percent had an unfavorable opinion. Clinton’s improved

from 58 percent last month. The new poll shows Clinton leading Trump by 10 points among registered voters and 15 points among likely voters. Last month, Clinton was ahead by 6 points among registered voters and 4 points with likely voters.

The poll was conducted by phone August 4 through Sunday, August 7, sampling 805 registered Wisconsin voters. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.6 percentage points.

Try ‘Kubb’ at the Frederic Depot FREDERIC—The ancient Scandinavian lawn game of Kubb will be played and taught at the Frederic Soo Line Depot on Saturday, August 20, from noon until 2 p.m., by a member of the Minnesota Kubb Association and local players. Kubb is a lawn game where the object is to knock over wooden blocks, known as kubbs, by throwing wooden batons at them. Kubb can be described as a combination of bowling and horseshoes and is nicknamed “Viking chess” due to the strategies used in playing the game. Kubb can be played by individuals or teams of up to six players. The game ends when all team kubbs are knocked down, and finally the “king” kubb is tipped over by the winning team. There are rules and strategies that can make the game end quickly or last up to a few hours. The Frederic Area Historical Society is offering this introduction to Kubb with the annual Pie and Ice Cream Social fundraiser, held annually in mid-August, to help with the cost of museum operation. Pie and ice cream with refreshments will be available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, call the Historical Society at 715-327-4158 or 715-327-4892. For more information on the game of

Another travelogue When looking at a deadline looming, the tyranny of a blank page is one of the most un-nerving obstacles facing today’s journalists. One would think following an almost three week hiatus from penning a weekly column and the fact I have a boat load of memories of our most recent trip to Glacier National Park which just ended late Saturday, I’d have plenty to fill this space. I could tell you about the ranger-led tour group hiking to Grinell Glacier (about 30 people in all) who had just rounded the corner of a rocky ledge when all Seems to of a sudden they come scurrying back down the trail, their Me arms raised shouting for those us behind them to “Get back.” Todd Beckmann ofThere were also shouts of “Bear!” interspersed with their other warnings. Sure enough, no sooner had the last of their group rounded the corner on the way back down the hill when a mama grizzly and a cub came meandering down the trail. The ranger herded all of us up into the meadow adjoining the trail, clearing the way for the grizzly to have all the room she needed — there must have been close to 50 of us up on that meadow watching the two bears. Or how about when I was the sag wagon while the wife biked up Going to the Sun Road? We basically play hopscotch on these rides, where she rides ahead of me, I pass her in the car to a stop further on and then wait for her to catch up, and so on to the top. I had pulled the car into a pull-out and was waiting for her when a well-documented critter of those parts, the hoary marmot, about the size of a typical raccoon, took a special interest in me and especially our car. After I got my close-up photo (you can see his teeth), I retreated to the car as it was cold that morning. The marmot must have been thinking the same thing as he crawled under the car — and not too much later I hear gnawing coming from the engine compartment. I’m guessing he found something he liked. Or, sitting at the edge of Fishercap Lake, watching moose feed. The animals are out every night and again every morning so you can view these majestic creatures just about everyday. Anyway, I had brought a folding chair and was reading a book while the wife took pictures. A cow moose who had been feeding about 30 yards out from shore decides it’s time to come ashore and make her way to a different part of the lake. I decided I was there first and the moose could go around (I wouldn’t have done this had it been a bull). She was at the very edge of the lake walking in about two-inches of water. She sees me, watches me to make sure I mean her no harm, shuffles out to where the water is about two feet deep, and goes past me —at the closest, she was about 10 feet away. There was a DNR trail-cam there and wife was sure my picture would be posted on the 10 Most Wanted List at the ranger station. These great memories and many others, plus the hundreds of pictures detailing our experiences, will have to sustain us until the next time we are able to hit the road.

A better way to ﬁght We have nearly a week left in the thirty-first summer Olympics, taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It has been amazing to watch athletes from all over the globe compete. As Americans, we are truly fortunate to have such a talented squad of athletes represent our nation. Swimmer Michael Phelps has broken records, From the going over 28 medPublisher’s als. Phelps, known as the “Baltimore Desk Bullet,” has enTom Stangl tered rarified air. James Master, writing for CNN, said that Phelps has surpassed the greatest athlete of ancient Greece and indeed of the Games — Leonidas of Rhodes. This isn’t Leonidas, King of Sparta, that died at Thermopylae with 300 of his warriors. According to Master’s article, Leonidas competed between 164 and 152 BC. For four consecutive Olympiads (164152 B.C.), he won three races — the stade race, the diaulos race and the armour race. He won a total of 12 Olympic victory wreaths. He was acclaimed as a hero by his compatriots. Hopefully, folks will be talking

about the exploits of Phelps in the year 4,000. He put on a great show, didn’t he? And it is truly difficult to find anything to dislike about gymnast Simone Biles, and for that matter, the entire women’s gymnastics squad. The Olympics are meant to be a time when athletes from all over the globe come together to compete in the purest expression of their sport. It is meant to be a place where we transcend our national differences and find common ground in the competition. But we are all human, and it is very easy to make the Olympics a huge propaganda event for nationalism. The Germans did it in 1936, and a case can be made that we have waged a Cold War with the Soviet Union and its successor nations for the last 50 years. I find it ironic that an event that is intended to transcend nationalism and unite us as global citizens has the opposite effect for many people. Competing on a track for glory and shaking the hand of your competitor is much better than fighting a war. The Rio games were controversial months before the opening ceremonies. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was ousted in May, accused of spending billions without proper approval. The Zika virus, carried by mosquitoes, had

some athletes skip the games. Rio’s problems with the basics of water and sanitation were also concerns. Protests and robberies have occurred during the games, as impoverished residents of the city argue that the money spent on building venues for the games should have been spent on social programs to improve conditions for the nation’s poor. I find merit in these ideas, but I also believe that the case could be made for nearly any city or nation that has (or will) host the games. But that shouldn’t denigrate the value of the games. I believe it is an important ritual that reminds us that we have more in common than we have differences. The fact that the games have survived through two millennia and countless regional and global conflicts vindicates the power of its message. And you cannot place a price on a gathering that inspires us all to be better as a species. I hope you get some time to catch what remains of the games. The party will resume in 2020 in Tokyo.

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 A choice in November To the Editor: I am excited that Diane Odeen has decided to run for State Senate in the fall. Diane is exactly the kind of person we need representing us in Madison. Diane grew up on her family’s dairy farm. She moved to River Falls in the early 90s with her husband and they raised their two daughters there. Diane has made it a priority to give back to her community, serving as vice-chair of the local education foundation, volunteering as a member of the Rotary Club and serving on the River Falls City Council. Most importantly, I know we can trust Diane to make education a priority. Diane knows that we can’t continue to cut funding for our public schools as well as our tech colleges and universities. Educating our children should be one of our most important priorities, not an afterthought. I keep hearing our current Senator say she supports education, but the truth is Sheila Harsdorf keeps voting with the majority that prioritizes everything but education. I know Diane wouldn’t vote to cut the UW System, including UW-River Falls and UW-Stout, by $250 million, or support legislation that spends $400 million dollars of taxpayers’ money on a new basketball arena in Milwaukee. I support Diane Odeen because she knows that the best way to improve our economy for the next generation is to support public education. Barbara Arnst New Richmond

My summer between Kindergarten and first grade saw our family of 12 move from an old rented farmhouse to town. At the old place, we were separated from the village’s lined houses by a large field, and beyond that, railroad tracks. The growing brood, from fivemonths old to 12 with one more to come, proudly set up in our own home. The two-story, threebedroom square house, less the jutting front and back porches, sat in the middle of the block. The church was on the next block and the school one over in the other direction. I can still hear the of the football games from Newbie in noise our yard. It was a nice sound. were now ‘town’ kids and the North- myWedad, grandpa and two oldest brothers went to work building woods two more bedrooms in the baseLori Callahan ment — always the most sought after as we grew up and they were vacated by those leaving the nest. It wasn’t long after we moved in that my mother sent me down the street to play with a little girl my age, Ellen. Though I was told at the time that Ellen’s mother had recently died, a six-year-old has little concept of what that means. Ellen had four considerably-older brothers, the two youngest still at home — one in high school, one dropped out. None had a reputation acceptable to my parents or to most neighbors. Ellen’s father was 66 years old and now had a young daughter to raise alone. I remember pressing my face against the window on the outer door with the inner door wide open when I arrived at Ellen’s. A little girl, just my size, with brown wavy locks came and looked at me, too, for several moments. She shyly said “hi,” with head down and bangs covering much of her eyes, then let me in. At the time, I didn’t realize what a kind and unselfish thing my mother had done. There were many times when I played at Ellen’s that her brothers frightened me. It also gave me a glimpse at a very early age of a very different kind of life, a darker one, a sad one. It never stopped me from returning. After all, there were so many things to do at Ellen’s and we were mostly unsupervised. We would sit up on stools to reach her mother’s still-stocked make up, perfumes and toiletries cabinet and mix concoctions, being smart enough or maybe just forewarned to know not to drink anything. One time we found a partial bag of dry cement in the garage and unsuccessfully tried to lay two patches between the bushes on the alleyway. Or, our attempts at trapping rabbits — digging holes in the yard, adding iceberg lettuce for bait, then fashioning a loose cover of twigs and grass, or a stick and plank set. There was our much-discussed and careful plan to hide a litter of kittens in the rafters, creating a space for them with a box and towels, so they would not be taken away. Many litters at Ellen’s from the two resident Siamese sisters provided hours of entertainment. My family had no pets, lest you count the bugs whose wings my brothers pulled off before putting in jars. Those poor rose beetles, a favorite. Through our growing up years, Ellen and I didn’t always remain friends, but, somewhat secretly, we always kept an eye out for each other. My mother still lives in my childhood home. Since I left, I believe she took over keeping that watch. I credit my mother with teaching me compassion and courage.

When will Republicans stand up for decency? Dear Editor: Every day, Donald Trump manages to offend some, if not most, Americans. From calling on Russia to commit espionage by hacking into government emails, to lashing out at the family of a fallen U.S. soldier, to insulting a mother and her crying child from the campaign stage, Mr. Trump has demonstrated many times that he lacks ethical values. I have come to expect pompous behavior from Trump, but I expect better from our Republican representatives. How can they support someone who insults members of the American public, from his own constituents to party leaders, almost daily? Why are most Republicans silent when others in the party — Senators John McCain, R-Arizona, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, for example — at least have the integrity to denounce Trump’s nastiest remarks? My guess is that most Republicans just do what their party tells them, like our State Assembly Representative, Adam Jarchow, who still proudly promotes the fact that he served as a Trump delegate at the Republican National Convention. As Trump continues his childish, bullying attacks, we need our elected leaders

To the Editor: When an elected official chooses to repeatedly serve the interests of a political party and its wealthy, out-ofstate donors rather than the citizens who elected that official, then it’s high time we stop voting for the incumbent. The people of Senate District 10 – and their children – are not being served by our elected representative. Sheila Harsdorf says she’s concerned about tightening the budget and keeping taxes low. Really? Do numbers add up differently in Madison? Harsdorf voted to cut $250 million from the UW System. She voted for less general state aid for our public schools than they got six years ago. But, she and her party cronies also found enough money to fund $400 million dollars for a sports stadium in Milwaukee. How is giving money to hedge-fund managers – owners of a professional sports team over 300 miles away from our district – ever going to benefit us, the constituents who elected her? Somehow, Harsdorf thought spending another $48 million on voucher schools made more sense than funding our own excellent local public schools. When elected officials directly undermine the success of local communities, ignoring our goals, then it’s time for us to vote for people who will put our concerns first. There’s an important election November 8: vote! Vote for people who will make our lives, our children’s lives, and our communities their highest priority.

Siren author Lona Faye Root is planning some book readings and book signing times this month. Do you remember me writing about her book called Humble Roots? She will be at Frederic Library from 4-6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 26. On Saturday, Aug. 27, Lona will be at Syren General Store from 1-3 p.m. The store has her book available for purchase. Both Webster and Frederic libraries have copies of her books on their shelves. Lona Faye is hoping to see some friends she has not seen in several years. Did you know we have a library at the center where you can borrow books with no checkout? Just borrow, read and return at your leisure. The center also has a craft room with items donated for sale, and a huge collection of cards for sale. We had Wii bowling on Tuesday. We are always looking for more people to come and play. Rose was the big winner this week. She bowled 189, 201 and 192. I picked up the 4-7-10 split this week. That is quite an accomplishment, as we have all tried so hard and always blew it.

to stand up for decency and declare that they will not support this Republican nominee, like the 50 former national security officials from Republican administrations who signed a letter August 9 declaring, “None of us will vote for Donald Trump. Most fundamentally, Mr. Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be President.” After first calling Hillary Clinton “the devil,” he later went on to suggest that “Second Amendment folks” — that is, gun enthusiasts — might be able to “do something” about Mrs. Clinton. Trump denies that his words were an invitation to assassination. But explain that to the mentally ill, the unstable, the unhinged and the deranged who have managed to shoot a lot of politicians in the United States — from President Reagan, to U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords, to the nine South Carolina church-goers including the Pastor and State Senator Clementa Pinckney.

ATV crash claims life DANBURY—A Woodbury, Minn. man is dead following an ATV accident in the Town of Blaine about 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 11. Thomas Mertz, 48, was operating an Arctic Cat ATV on Trail 958, approximately 11 mile northeast of Danbury, when he apparently lost control of the ATV near a curve and was ejected from the machine. Mertz was pronounced dead at the scene by the Burnett County Medical Examiner.

Under the agreement, the village will pay half the annual alum cost of about $8,000, and the Big Doctor Lake Association will pay the other half. Big Doctor Lake Association President John Magnuson was pleased with the decision. He said starting the water treatment now, rather than waiting until the village will be required to add it in 2018, makes sense for both parties. “We have a pretty substantial algae bloom in the lake, “Magnuson said. “We are happy the village board recognizes the problem and is willing to help us improve the lake water quality.”

Surge of support for Watercross GRANTSBURG—The excitement Watercross fans felt seeing the waters of Memory Lake surge as racers whizzed across its shores this July has passed for another year. But a surge of support now being felt by many local community groups and organizations, as they receive funds from the Grantsburg Hockey Association (GHA) for working at the event, will continue throughout the year. “This year over $80,000 will be paid out to non-profits,” reported Watercross Director Rick Quimby. Groups and organizations use this much-needed revenue for projects, events and operating expenses. “Whether a Grantsburg resident or a visitor to the area, undoubtedly you’ve heard of or witnessed this event,” said Quimby. “Still, not everyone really understands what Watercross does in terms of helping sustain the community.” According to Quimby, nearly 30 non-profit groups and more than 200 kids received funds designated in their names after working more than 2,000 hours at the 2016 event. “Many of these groups use Watercross as their main fundraisers for the year,” explained Quimby. Besides raising money for their groups, young volunteers working the event also gain valuable experience in the how-tos of serving the public and handling money. “This was my first time working with the girls at Watercross since becoming Scout Leader and it went great!” remarked Beth Palmquist of the Grantsburg Girl Scout troop. “The girls worked in the cotton candy and snowcone concession and loved it! It was also a very good learning experience for them, serving people and especially helping them learn about handling money.“ Palmquist said the troop plans to use the money for field trips and projects geared to helping others, in keeping with the Girl Scout way. Quimby said every year the GHA gets requests from non-profit groups around the area wanting to be part of Watercross. “We welcome non-profit groups wanting a fundraising opportunity and we also welcome our own Grantsburg High School classes to

Drew McNally

participate for community service hours. “Watercross is an excellent way for students to give to give back to the community,” Quimby continued. “The hours they work can be specifically designated to the organization they wish to support. School programs, such as band and choir, theater, clubs, and sports, depend on the money generated from the volunteer hours students and their families provide,” said Grantsburg High School Counselor Faith McNally. “Participating in community service is also a graduation requirement for Grantsburg High School students. Service work is a great way to contribute to an annual Grantsburg event and meet community service requirements at the same time! “added McNally. Quimby said he hopes people who might feel inconvenienced by the Watercross weekend will consider the number of kids in the community who benefit all year from the three-day event. “Several thousand dollars will go to the Grantsburg eighth grade’s Washington, D.C. trip fund,” said Quimby. Middle School Principal Bill Morrin is very appreciative. “Watercross is a signature event for Grantsburg. The opportunities for working at the events are endless. Students are given the options to work at least three days to help raise funds to offset cost to our annual D.C. trip,” said Morrin. “We appreciate the opportunity the students have to raise funds for the chance to travel to Chicago,

Gettysburg and Washington, D.C. The trip is very educational and fun for our 8th graders and some parents.” Immaculate Conception Catholic Church Youth Group Leader Joan Lauer, who volunteers at the event each year, was eager to express her thoughts on how Watercross benefits the community. “Oh my gosh, 40 years of Watercross! Thank you Grantsburg Lions (the original sponsors) and the Grantsburg Hockey Association, the current sponsors. The support, activities and the great fireworks you provide are awesome and greatly appreciated.” Quimby noted how many businesses not only in Grantsburg but also throughout Burnett County and beyond feel a surge from the three-day weekend. “This event brings large numbers of people into our town and to surrounding towns as well. And with those people comes money,” said Quimby. “All the hotel rooms in Grantsburg, Siren and even as far away as North Branch fill up for the weekend of Watercross.” Since taking over the Watercross event in 2007 from the Grantsburg Lions Club (whose members started the event in 1977), GHA has strived to grow the event each year. They have made in 2007 it bigger and better by adding activities and attractions appealing to fans of all ages. “We had a fantastic response from spectators with the addition of the carnival,” said Quimby. “And, another new activity, the canoe race, was a huge hit. It will be back thanks to sponsors Jensen-Sundquist Agency and Wild River Outfitters.” Every year the highlight of the 2016 Watercross weekend for spectators is the spectacular fireworks display by Tom Bowers and Larry Larrabee, who have produced the show for many years. “They’re wonderful,” said longtime Grantsburg resident, Mike Thoreson of the Saturday night fireworks show. “We’ve taken our kids almost every year, and now we taking our grandchildren and that’s pretty cool.” SEE WATERCROSS, PAGE 7

NEWSLINE New machining class debuts at WITC this fall NEW RICHMOND—With a special nod to those who are currently employed but are interested in either a new career or upgrading a current machining career, WITC-New Richmond introduces a part-time option this fall in its new Entry Level Machining program. Students can complete a one-year technical diploma on a part-time schedule over two years. It also sets the stage to earn a Machine Tooling Technics two-year degree by requiring only one added year at WITC. The new program, which is financial aid eligible, meets evenings, twice a week, plus four Saturdays, allowing students to maintain a relatively normal life while attending college. The college also is keeping the class small at only 12 students to emphasize one-on-one learning. Instruction is held in the WITC machining labs, which offer timely equipment of the trade, experienced instructors and curriculum that meets the industry standard and current needs. WITC points out there is still time to apply and register for classes, since the academic year starts later this year on August 29. Requests for added information or questions should be directed to 715246-6561, to the admissions advisor, Jodi Saliny, at ext 4339, or either instructor, Olaf Wick or Bill White at the same number, or visit witc.edu/new richmond.

Kraus-Anderson begins construction on Unity High School BALSAM LAKE—Kraus-Anderson Construction Company (KA), one of the Midwest’s oldest and largest commercial general contractors and construction managers, has begun construction on the remodel and expansion of the high school for the Unity School District in Balsam Lake. Designed by DSGW Architects, the new $17.5 million addition and renovation will include a 35,000-square-foot addition that features a new two-station gymnasium, 650-seat performing arts center, and renovations to science classrooms. In addition, construction will include new building entrances, bus drop-off areas and parking zones, which will enhance security and safety, as well as traffic flow. Maintenance upgrades will include HVAC systems, lighting, exterior enhance-

ments and new windows, among other improvements. Construction is expected to be completed at the end of the summer 2017 in time for the opening of the new school year. The school is located at 1908 150th St. and Hwy. 46 North in Balsam Lake.

SCRA receives education grant from Xcel Energy ST. CROIX FALLS—The St. Croix River Association (SCRA) was awarded a $3,000 grant from the Xcel Energy Foundation to support the River Connections program. This funding supports St. Croix River Association education and outreach programs that help students foster positive relationships to their National Park, the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. In 2015, the River Connections program reached over 36,000 people including 800 students. The St. Croix River Association is grateful for their support.

Diggers Hotline celebrates 40th year NEW BERLIN—Even though summer is beginning to wind down, there’s still plenty of time to work on yard projects. Diggers Hotline hopes everyone will call 811 hotline prior to any digging project and get underground utility lines marked. Diggers Hotline has been taking information from professional and weekend excavators since 1976. Each year, the goal for Diggers Hotline has remained the same: protecting Wisconsin residents from injury and repair costs that may occur when striking a buried utility line. Diggers Hotline is a free service that helps get utility lines marked for anyone using a shovel or other digging tool in Wisconsin. Having utility lines marked before digging is important because one of these lines is damaged every three minutes nationwide due to a digging accident according to the Common Ground Alliance. Striking a single line can cause injury, repair costs and service outages. Every digging project, no matter how large or small, requires notifying Diggers Hotline by calling 811 or online at www. DiggersHotline.com. The service is free, as it has been for 40 years.

WATERCROSS: Numerous beneﬁts of event CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6

Though Bowers and Larrabee have announced their retirement, making the 40th anniversary show their last (with thanks for many years of great fireworks and best wishes from the Hockey Association) it’s a sure thing the fireworks drawing thousands to the shores of Memory Lake will continue. Quimby is quick to acknowledge how much the community reciprocates with their own surge of support for the Watercross event. “We want to thank the Village of Grantsburg, the businesses, all the workers and volunteers for another successful Watercross,” said Quimby. “We couldn’t do it without the entire community’s support.” The importance of holding the event in Grantsburg has not gone unnoticed by leaders of the town’s organizations, businesses and government. As Village President Glenn Rolloff so eloquently pointed out in his reflection on what Watercross means to the community: “Watercross is the largest event in Grantsburg each year. As an IWA sanctioned event for the past 40 years, it has grown from a gathering of a few snowmobile’s defying gravity to a family-focused weekend bringing thousands of new faces into our community from all over the nation,” reflected Rolloff. “A real benefit of the event is allowing visitors to come off Hwy 70 and right into the center of our village to spend the weekend near downtown, on the Wood River in the center and the reason Grantsburg is here. “The benefits are incredible!” Rolloff added. “Tens of thousands of dollars come into our small community, allowing the Grantsburg Hockey Association to exist. “Beyond funding all the youth that participate in hockey, GHA’s volunteer worker format allows nearly any non-profit organization to benefit through their assistance to pull off this event. The dollars coming in help fund scholarships for our youth, our American Legion, many school events including the Washington D.C. trip, our local taverns, restaurants, fire department and many local and nearby businesses. “In some ways, the commotion that is created in

our community is a reminder that a welcoming attitude is what brings diversity to our area,” Rolloff continued. “Of course, the event is loud and bustling, and culminates with the fireworks that boom and flash on Saturday evening. “Although we all know it’s here, the Grantsburg Watercross is in many ways, the event that makes people say, “I’ve never been to Grantsburg before but plan to come back!” “Many wonder how a small town can put on such a fireworks show and a whole event like Watercross. The answer is simple, but the effort is not! When watching the setup and teardown, you will see many young people learning valuable skills like volunteering, hard work, coordination and cooperation. “Watching the young men impress the onlookers by their “post-pounding skills,” brings a smile to any face. “We should all be proud of what we have here and should learn from the event how to coordinate with many groups! “Special thanks to the Burnett County Sheriff’s department, North Memorial Ambulance and our local Police and Public Works folks for all their extra effort. Let’s keep this event going for another 40 years!” Rolloff concluded. Next July, a new chapter in the Watercross era will begin with plans by Director Quimby and the Watercross committee already underway for the 2017 event. Rolloff’s exclamation to keep Watercross going for another 40 years is a sentiment shared by the many people who have felt and will continue to feel the positive rippling effect Watercross has every year on the community.

state and local repairs in the nine northern Wisconsin counties, including Burnett. Some areas of northern Burnett County received 1215 inches of rain in 12 hours overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, July 11-12. The National Weather Service labeled it a “1,000-year rainfall.” 50 culverts washed out Most of the county’s damage occurred in the four northern Burnett County towns of Blaine, Jackson, Swiss and Webb Lake, where more than 50 culvert washouts occurred on county and town roads. One bridge on State Line Road in Blaine Township remains closed and will need major reconstruction before it can re-open, said Hoefs. “That bridge is going to need detailed structural design and work permits in both Minnesota and Wisconsin,” he added. The bridge straddles the state line between Wisconsin and Minnesota. “It will involve DNR input from both states and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, since it is on a navigable waterway. That site will take a lot of work.” Hoefs said he would recommend replacing the bridge with the same style as the current one, “but with professional engineering design this time around.” The bridge consists of three culverts in parallel, topped by a roadway. The culverts are designed to handle the normal stream flow, and to allow high water to flow over the top of the road. “This road has a low volume of traffic,” he added, “so I think it is a workable design.” He anticipates most of the county’s road, bridge and culvert repair work will be done by private contractors. The county is responsible for regularly inspecting all bridges in the county except

for state highway bridges, Hoefs said, and also is required to inspect them after a high water event. His department has done so. “Work can proceed before the disaster funds are approved,” Hoefs said, “but it is very important that each work process and each expense is documented with paperwork and photographs,” he said. The President’s disaster declaration makes federal funding available to state, tribal and local governments and certain non-profit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and replacement of public infrastructure and facilities damaged by the severe storms and flooding.

Nine counties get aid The nine affected counties are Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Florence, Iron, Price, Sawyer and Washburn. The Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe will also get assistance. Federal funding is available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures through the state of Wisconsin. Benigno Bern Ruiz has been named federal coordinator for recovery operations in Wisconsin’s affected area. Ruiz said additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage testing. Application procedures for state, local and tribal governments will be explained at a series of federal and state application briefings, which recovery offices will announce for the affected areas. Approved public repair projects are paid through the state from funding provided by FEMA and other federal agencies. Some information for this story was provided by a FEMA news release.

Nuisance bear tags available GRANTSBURG—In response to chronic and sustained bear conflicts within the Village of Grantsburg, the department will make nuisance bear harvest tags available to landowners for use in a select area surrounding the village. Permits will be valid during the regular bear season, and will be made available to landowners Aug. 18, 19 and 25 at the Crex Meadows Wildlife Area Visitor Center. Even with extensive bear mitigation measures, a high number of bear-related conflicts within the Village of Grantsburg have continued to create safety concerns for residents. The Village of Grantsburg previously enacted village-wide abatement measures and have considered additional measures to reduce these conflicts. “This is a pilot project to see if we can break the intensity of nuisance bear conflicts that have occurred within the Village”, said

Steve Hoffman, Crex Meadows Wildlife Area Supervisor. Department staff will issue up to 75 nuisance bear harvest tags to private landowners who own five or more acres within a project area that extends roughly 1.5-mile distance from village limits. The department anticipates that 10-20 bears might be taken this fall under this permit system. These permits will be valid during the 2016 bear season. Nuisance permits will be rescinded if the harvest goal is met. Landowners who meet the minimum acreage criteria and are located within the pilot area will have the opportunity to pick up nuisance bear tags at the Crex Meadows Visitor Center Aug. 18, 19 and 25 from 1-6 p.m. One tag will be issued per landowner. If a landowner fills their tag and the harvest objective is not yet met, they can request an additional tag. Permit holders (landowners)

may designate a different hunter to harvest a bear using their nuisance tag on their property. These permits are free of charge and require landowners to report harvest success. All Wisconsin bear hunting regulations and season dates apply. Permit activities are limited to that parcel (private land only) - hunting method will be left to landowner discretion. Per Wisconsin Administrative Code, only landowners will be exempt from the hunting license requirement — all other participants must possess a valid Wisconsin hunting license that authorizes hunting with a firearm. For more information, contact Steve Hoffman, DNR wildlife management supervisor, at 715463-2896 or via email at Steven. Hoffman@wisconsin.gov. Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area is located at 102 East Crex Ave., Grantsburg.

Children grades pre-K to fourth grade receive a ticket every time they check out materials at the Grantsburg Library. The carnival will be held August 30 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Grantsburg Elementary school.

MADISON—Governor Scott Walker released his Weekly Radio Address August 11 titled “Keeping Higher Education Affordable, Investing in Wisconsin’s Future.” “Hi, Scott Walker here. “As the parent of a student attending the University of Wisconsin, I know how important it is to keep school affordable for college students and working families. That’s why I am proud that we froze tuition at all University of Wisconsin campuses four years in a row. Looking ahead, we will continue the tuition freeze. “We also want our students to receive an outstanding education here in Wisconsin. That’s why we are proud that UW-Madison is 11th among public institutions in U.S. News & World Report’s latest college rankings - and that the entire UW system is highly regarded around the world. “Our next state budget automatically adds $50 million to the UW system budget. On top of that, I will propose an increase that will be connected to performance metrics, such as the number of graduates and how many graduates actually find work. “Over the past few years, we increased funding for our technical college system, including performance funding, and it’s working very well. Now, we can do the same for the UW.”

MADISON—The United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin granted a partial stay of a recent ruling in One Wisconsin v. Thomsen, which struck down part of Wisconsin’s voter ID law. “For the second time in three days, a court has granted our motion for stay in a case challenging Wisconsin’s voter ID laws and we are very pleased with this Court’s decision to allow this law to be in effect for the November 2016 election,” said Attorney General Brad Schimel. “I will continue to fight for the State of Wisconsin and to defend its laws before the courts.”

The lives of four strangers become entwined in a plaintive novel by Elizabeth Day. “Paradise City,” set in London, captivates from the first page. It’s descriptive, well written and believable, a book without a lot of fanfare that deserves to be cheered on. Howard Pink is a millionaire, a clothier with a chain of shops. While Sir Howard has gone from “tailor” to “tycoon,” his personal life is in shambles because of the disappearance of Ada, his 19-year-old daughter, more than a decade ago. Seeking a panacea for his grief, he divorced his first wife for a bottle-blond, minus lines and sags, thanks to Botox and silicone. Occasionally, Sir Howard also pleasures himself with other women — maids in hotel rooms, a bit of groping. No big deal, he thinks, until he dallies with Beatrice Kizza, a gay maid who fled Uganda where homosexuality is illegal. Beatrice is trying to become a stronger woman, to combat further victimization. When she reads a news article about Sir Howard and finds out he’s powerful and moneyed, Beatrice demands a meeting. She will hold him accountable for his behavior. The article Beatrice sees was submitted by reporter Esme Reade, a young woman determined to make her mark in journalism. Up and coming, Esme cracks her biggest story when she snags an interview with Sir Howard, who wants the article written so he can promote a charitable organization he’s starting in his daughter’s memory. Clues to Ada’s fate spring from the most unlikely of sources, Carol Heathrington, a newly widowed woman, lonely, with an adult daughter who doesn’t have much patience with her, a daughter Carol is constantly trying to fix up, much to her chagrin. The characters in “Paradise City” are fleshed out to their fullest, making for a wholly satisfying read. It’s impressive to see how beautifully the author connects them, tying up all the narratives threads. By the end each has discovered his/her own paradise, in ways they could never have imagined.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING

FIEDLER FORD, INC.

January marked the publication of “When Breath Becomes Air,” a heartbreakingly beautiful memoir, the story of a promising young neurosurgeon whose life is cut short at 37. Without a trace of “poor me,” Paul Kalanithi writes about the lung cancer that leads to his death in March 2015, just two years after his diagnosis. With 10 years of training under his belt, and a future shining bright with possibility, Kalanithi had anticipated a successful career along with his wife, Lucy, an internist. Illness disrupted their trajectory. Kalanithi was transformed to a gown-clad, gaunt patient, where once he’d been the doctor. He had suspected cancer after a gradual weight loss, increasing pain in his back and lungs, and a persistent cough. But nothing prepared him for seeing his CT scan. As his disease progressed, chemo and drugs took their toll, the tumors receded then new ones appeared, spreading to his brain, ending his life before his book was finished. The final pages were written by his wife, acting upon his wishes to have his memoir published, a dream cancer couldn’t dash. Kalanithi’s poignant book isn’t just about his sickness. It also details his teen and young adult years, and what led to his decision to forego literature to study medicine. The anecdotes he relates about his dayto-day life as a resident, the long hours, the rigorous training, the people he treats and the moral decisions he and his patients face are riveting. “When Breath Becomes Air” is painful, reverent, sad yet hopeful, a personal and courageous account of a gifted doctor who countered “Why me,” with “Why not me?” It serves as a reminder to persist in the present, to revel in simple pleasures we too often take for granted. In the book’s foreword, physician/author Abraham Verghese, whose novel “Cutting for Stone” was a bestseller, has this to say about Kalanithi’s writing, “(his) prose was unforgettable. Out of his pen he was spinning gold.”

beit one about a subject that’s disturbing and presented with no holds barred. Richard Chapman is happily married with a daughter age 9. He’s never had a misstep in life — but you can’t say that about his younger brother, Philip, who lives on the edge, eyeing other women, and then some, even though he’s engaged. Philip has a slimy friend who’s determined that his buddy’s bachelor party be unforgettable. Richard agrees to host the shindig because he doesn’t want to be a “prig.” But the idea of having a party with strippers in his family’s home worries him, as well as Kristin, his wife. She agrees to spend the night away at her mother’s home, with the couple’s daughter. The night of the party things get completely out of control, everyone is drunk, even Richard, who becomes enticed by Alexandra, one of the strippers, who he takes to his daughter’s room. Nothing happens, but a short time later, the night turns violent, leaving the Russian bodyguards, who have accompanied the girls, bleeding out in Richard’s home. Richard finds himself embroiled in a scandal surrounding the killers, two young Armenian women, sex slaves, who flee the crime scene, the Russian mafia crazy to track them down before the authorities do. Chapters alternate, the story told from Richard and Alexandra’s point of view, a vehicle used to reveal Alexandra’s sordid past, and the hell that Richard has landed in as his marriage unravels and his job is threatened, as well as his reputation. “The Guest Room” isn’t Bohjalian at his finest. The narrative is gripping, a story I raced through but found difficult to stomach because of its raw, graphic voice. I’m not soured on this favorite writer, just hopeful his next novel will be more of what I’ve grown to expect. Reprinted with permission, Missourian Publishing p y Copyright py g 2016. Company.

Up-to-date on immunizations? ST. CROIX FALLS—August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and St. Croix Regional Medical Center’s staff is asking people throughout the area to check their records to be certain that they and their loved ones are up-to-date on their immunizations. SCRMC wants to ensure everyone is up-to-date on their vaccines. During the month of August, we will be holding Vaccination Clinics on August 23, 26, 30 and September 2 at the St. Croix Falls location. To schedule an appointment at the Vaccination Clinic, please call 800-828-3627. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that children receive vaccines

against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, polio and others. Adolescents should be vaccinated against hepatitis A, hepatitis B and meningococcal disease, and others that may have been missed earlier. Those recommended for adults include vaccines against influenza, pneumococcal disease, tetanus and diphtheria. Before these vaccines became available, these diseases caused tens of thousands of deaths each year in the U.S., and without immunization, you can become infected. Because today’s vaccines are safe and effective, all of us can, and should, be protected by being up-to-date on our immunizations.

Simple tips for back-to-school shopping success MADISON – Store shelves are lined with supplies and advertisements are chock full of deals — the backto-school shopping season is here again. If you are in the market for backpacks, markers, folders, tablets, clothing and more, retailers statewide are ready for your business. To make sure you get your money’s worth at the register, take these tips from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) along with your shopping list. “The back-to-school season is a very competitive time for Wisconsin retailers, providing consumers with a number of ways to save on class supplies, new clothes and electronics,” said Frank Frassetto, Division Administrator for Trade and Consumer Protection. “With so many items on sale and so many different types of products crossing the scanner, consumers should pay close attention to the register and to their receipts to ensure that they receive the advertised prices for their purchases.” Follow these simple tips to ensure that you are charged correctly. Before setting out for your shopping run, review the advertisements for restrictions on quantities, sale hours, returns and rain checks. Check store policies on price matching to consolidate your run. Write down prices or special sales while you shop to have a better sense of the final total before you hit the register. Most pricing errors occur on sale items. Keep an eye on the display screen while your items

are being scanned. Speak up if you think you have been overcharged for an item. If there is a pricing error, Wisconsin law requires that a store refund any overcharge amount. Work with customer service to receive a refund while you are in the store. Double check your receipt before you leave to ensure that the totals are correct. Report pricing errors to state or local inspectors. To file a weights and measures complaint with DATCP’s Weights and Measures Bureau, send an e-mail to datcpweightsandmeasures@wi.gov or call 608-2244942. When you are finished shopping, save your receipts and submit any rebates immediately. Every year DATCP’s Weights and Measures team visits stores statewide to test for price accuracy, and the results show that consumers pay correct prices at Wisconsin stores an overwhelming majority of the time. In 2015, DATCP inspectors tested more than 68,000 items for price accuracy, and found that prices were accurate or registered in the consumers’ favor 99 percent of the time. Even so, it doesn’t hurt to keep these back-to-school shopping tips in mind during this busy shopping season. For additional information, visit datcp.wisconsin. gov or contact the Consumer Protection Hotline at 800-422-7128 or by e-mail: datcphotline@wisconsin. gov.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING UW to ask for additional money and an end to tuition freeze MADISON, Wis. (AP)—University of Wisconsin System leaders plan to ask Gov. Scott Walker and Republican legislators to lift a tuition freeze and give the system about $40 million in new money in the next state budget. The Board of Regents is expected to approve the request at a meeting this month. System President Ray Cross gave reporters a preview of the request that asks Walker to allow the regents to set tuition and calls for an additional $42.5 million in state aid. Cross said the new money would be used to shorten the time to graduation, expand programs that offer high school students college credits for completing certain courses and build more robust student internship programs. The request asks for no new money to fund fringe benefit adjustments or utility bills. System officials don’t anticipate a need because about 1,800 fewer system employees are on state health insurance, Cross said, choosing instead to get on their spouses’ plans. He also noted that the system has lost about 1,200 employees. “It’s not an excessive request,’’ Cross said. “It’s time to invest. Let’s send a message that this is really important.’’ The last four years have been a time of tight finances for the system. Walker and Republican lawmakers froze in-state undergraduate tuition in the 2013-15 state budget after it was found schools were sitting on massive reserves while raising tuition year after year. Lawmakers extended the freeze for another two years in the current budget and cut $250 million from the system. Walker has called for the tuition freeze to be extended for another two years and has warned the system that it shouldn’t expect any additional state aid in the next budget. The governor is considering more money for the system if schools meet performance benchmarks, but he hasn’t said what schools would have to accomplish to win more money or how much funding would be available. The UW System’s budget is the highest it has ever been, Walker spokesman Tom Everson said Tuesday, and the next state budget automatically adds $50 million in base funding. Joint Finance Committee co-chairman Rep. John Nygren said Tuesday he looks forward to working

with colleagues, the UW system, and stakeholders to preserve the quality and value of Wisconsin’s public institutions. “The state budget goes through a similar process every biennium. The governor always proposes his budget before it’s sent to the Legislature for consideration and modifications,’’ Nygren said. Cross said the system remains an economic engine for the state and deserves more money, supporting his argument with data that class sizes are increasing and class availability is decreasing, which translates to students paying more because it takes longer to graduate. Other components of the request include: —$454.6 million for building maintenance, renovation and construction. About $100 million would go toward maintenance. A new mechanical engineering building at UW-Platteville would be the only new structure; the rest would be for renovations. Cross said the current state budget allocated $86 million for buildings. —New statutory language allowing the regents to issue bonds backed by program fees to fund projects. The state building commission would release the bonds in amounts requested. —Allow the system to purchase academic-related items without going through the state Department of Administration.

WILD CHOW

Summer is peachy

I recently bought a box of peaches and am in peach heaven. We have been eating peaches with every meal. On top, along side, for dessert, and blended—you can add peaches to just about everything. I have been dreaming up new ways to eat them. Peaches and almonds go perfectly together. Some people pair peaches pecans, but I think pecans are Wild Chow with too mild. Peaches need a nut that can stand up to their flavor. Lisa Erickson Last week (during peach week at my house), while going through cookbooks, I came across a photo of a mixed nut tart. It looked so good and I thought of how tasty the peaches would be on top of an almond tart. This dessert is elegant and delicious. Be sure to have extra peaches on hand. Summer just got a little peachier for me!

Peach almond tart Serves 8 1 sheet pastry puff, thawed 3/4 cup almond slivers, toasted, plus 1/2 cup more reserved 1/2 cup sugar pinch of salt 3 Tbsp butter 1 egg 1/2 tsp almond flavoring 2 lbs. fresh ripe peaches, sliced 2 cups, lightly sweetened whipped cream

Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured cookie sheet, roll out Puff Pastry to roughly a 12 x 18 inch square. Fold over the edge of the Puff Pastry one inch towards the middle, creating a rimmed edge. Lightly pinch edge down. With a fork, pick the dough all over with a fork so the air bubbles can escape; set aside.

In a food processor or a blender, pulse the nuts, sugar and salt until finely ground (do not over grind to a paste). Add egg, almond flavoring and butter, processing until smooth. Pour almond batter onto prepared crust. Top with 1/4 cup of the reserved almonds. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crust is golden brown and center is set. Cool.

Arrange sliced peaches on top of cooled almond tart. Dollop with whipped cream and sprinkle with remaining reserved almonds. Serve immediately and refrigerate any uneaten portions.

Poll ﬁnds most voters against borrowing for roads MADISON, Wis. (AP)—A new poll finds most Wisconsin voters are against the approach Gov. Scott Walker wants to take to deal with a nearly $1 billion budget shortfall for road projects. The Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows that 43 percent of registered voters would support a gas tax or registration fee increase to pay for roads. Walker has said that’s off the table. Only 33 percent say they would cut all or some spending for road projects to avoid a tax or fee increase. And just 12 percent say they would support borrowing money to plug the gap. Walker hasn’t said how he will deal with the shortfall, but ruling out a revenue increase means projects will either be cut or delayed, or money will have to be borrowed.

WEBSTER—The Webster Police Department hosted its 15th annual Bike Rodeo on Saturday during the annual Gandy Dancer Days celebration, as crowded and exciting as ever. The event has become something of a legend in Wisconsin. “We hear from much bigger police departments around the state. They want to know how we do it,” says Webster Chief of Police Mike Spafford. “No question we have one of the biggest, if not the biggest, and best bike rodeo in the whole state of Wisconsin,” he said with pride. Saturday’s event showed why other departments are impressed. Webster PD raised $5,000 during the past year from area businesses, organizations and individuals, as it has done for many years. The donations paid for a two-hour event that started with a bike-skills rodeo, followed by two BMX thrill shows with professional riders. It concluded with a drawing for 35 brand-new bikes and other prizes including bike helmets and tablet computers. “The is a year-long project,” Chief Spafford commented. “This next week we will start working on next year’s bike rodeo.” Spafford says much of the credit goes to the village’s other full-time police officer, Bridget Getts. She serves as organizer, publicist, chief fund raiser and event coordinator. “She pulls it all together,” said the chief. For the youngest kids, the bike skills course appears to be their favorite event. Kids as young as three ride three-wheelers, bikes with training wheels and regular two-wheelers slowly around a tricky course with sharp curves. Kids were challenged to ride the whole route safely without going outside the lines.

The course tests their riding abilities, knowledge of traffic signs and use of hand signals. Many officers were present to walk beside the bikers around the course, observing their skills and offering tips. The kids love it. Many returned to ride the route time after time. Next up was the BMX thrill show – actually two shows about 45 minutes apart. This event attracts all ages with its elements of danger – riders soaring, twisting and doing flips off ramps with legs splayed out wide, recovering in time to make a safe landing. The group from Racine is a crowd favorite, year after year. Finally comes the event many kids – and parents – anticipate all year: the chance for boys and girls to win a brandnew bicycle. Again this year, 35 shiny bikes for kids ages three to 13 were given away in three age categories, along with four tablet computers, bike helmets, tee shirts and Bluetooth speakers. The police department thanked all the loyal donors who contribute a new bike or the cash to buy one, year after year. “Our generous donors make this happen,” Chief Spafford said.

Kristin Kosloski takes reins at Siren volleyball BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

SIREN—Kristin Kosloski is Siren High School’s new head volleyball coach, taking over from Caryn Stanford. Kosloski has been the Dragon’s assistant coach for the past eight years. This is Kosloski’s first foray into head coaching. “I am really looking forward to it,” she said with a big smile. “I have a daughter, Abby, who will be a junior on the team. She encouraged me to give the head coach position a try. So, I’m going to give it a whirl.” Eight seniors graduated last spring, and seven were varsity players. Kosloski is undaunted. “It definitely will be a learning year for our young team,” she said, “but, I feel we can be competitive as well.” The coach has a few upperclassmen returning to varsity, but mostly new faces. Practice began Monday. Kosloski was anticipating 25-30 girls from grades 9-12 to be out for volleyball, with two returning starters, Abby Kosloski and Amy Stanford. Kosloski expects they will be team leaders and possibly co-captains. “We’re going to have a pretty good mix of players from freshman to seniors.” The Dragons are coming off a season of about half wins and half losses. She expects solid competition from all the conference teams, including Webster, Luck, Unity, St. Croix Falls, Grantsburg and Frederic. “Luck had a lot of sophomore players last year, so they’re coming back with a year of experience. I think they will be pretty tough. And, of course, Grantsburg is always tough.” At least four starting positions will be open on varsity so Kosloski is excited to see who will step forward and claim those slots.

Jensen Anderson, who works in the Siren School system, will lead the junior varsity team and serve as Kosloski’s assistant head coach. “Jens knows quite a bit about volleyball. His sisters played for Bill Morin in Grantsburg, and Jens has played some club volleyball. I think he’s going to be a big asset to the team. When I told the girls he would be assistant coach, they were pretty excited about that. They know him from seeing him around the school. He’s very enthusiastic.” In addition to Anderson’s JV team, Kosloski hopes to field a C squad too, if enough players and a coach step forward. Kosloski said she has been studying up on the game and visiting the WIAA volleyball web site to learn this year’s rule changes and take the annual coaching test. The team has two Saturday tournaments scheduled early in the season to help the entire team gain playing experience. “We’ll be taking the varsity squad to tournaments in Amery and Chetek,” she added, “which will give us a chance to play around with our lineup a bit and try out different combinations of players.” The Chetek tournament is in early September, with the Amery tourney in mid-October. Their very first outing of the season is a quadrangular meet August 25 in Northwoods. “We will play Northwood, Birchwood and Solon Springs all in one night. That is a good way to start our competition with lots of court time in one night. That’s good both for the players and coaches, so we can see where things are gelling and where we need to tweak it.” Kosloski played volleyball for one year at Webster High School. “That was back before players wore knee pads, and I developed bad knees. That was it for my playing time,” she said. “We’ll be working to find the right position for every-

Kristin Kosloski one. New coach, new assistant, and a lot of new players. It’s going to be an interesting year,” she smiled.

Assembly wins Church League Tourney BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

FALUN—Over the past weekend, there was a lot of action at the Falun Church League ballfield as the Church League had its annual end of season tournament. Siren Assembly went against Calvary Covenant three games in a row to take the championship, winning the final game by a close 10-9 score. Trade Waters began the tournament on Thursday with an 11-8 win over West Sweden/Zion Lutheran. Also on Thursday, Crosswalk Free nipped Falun/Grace Baptist 5-4, Calvary Covenant topped Trade Lake Baptist 19-4 and Faith Lutheran defeated Siren Bethany 22-2. Friday’s action saw Siren Assembly beat Trade Waters 19-2, Trade Lake Baptist defeated Siren Bethany 16-15 and Falun/Grace Baptist got past Trade Waters. In the winner’s bracket on Saturday, Siren Assembly beat Crosswalk Free 19-2 and Calvary Covenant topped Faith Lutheran 24-15. That placed the Assembly against Calvary for the first of three meetings, with the Assembly winning the first round 13-10. Working up in the consolation bracket, as it was a double elimination event, Falun/Grace got by Faith Lutheran 2014 and Crosswalk Free edged by Trade Lake Baptist 18-15. Those wins placed a showdown between Falun/Grace and Crosswalk Free with Falun/Grace winning 12-3. Calvary Covenant, with one loss, then faced Falun/Grace and won by the narrowest of margins, 10-9.

That placed Siren Assembly, (no losses) against Calvary Covenant, with one loss, against each other. Calvary won by two, 21-19 to force the final Assembly vs. Calvary game. Calvary picked up three runs in the top of the first, but Assembly came back with nine to go up 9-3. Undaunted, Calvary chipped away at the lead, picking up three more in their half of the second to trail 9-6, holding the Assembly scoreless in their half of the second inning. Calvary picked up single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings to knot the game at nine in the middle of the fifth. The run in the fifth came on a home run. Siren returned the favor in their half of the fifth, getting a run on a solo home run to go up 10-9 after five innings of play. Calvary went 1-2-3 in their sixth inning. The Assembly got one hit in their sixth inning, but was left stranded. The seventh inning saw Calvary load the bases, but the Assembly held Calvary scoreless to take the win and the championship. This rivalry has been going on for a number of years. Since 2009, the Church League Championship has gone to just two churches, Siren Assembly and Calvary Covenant. The Assembly has won the last two years with a total of five championships since 2009, and Calvary has won it three times during that same time span. This past season, the Assembly finished the regular season with an 8-2 mark with Calvary boasting a 7-3 record.

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

Freddie is a black kitten with a smidgen of white on his chest. He reminded me of the sweet and sour gummy commercial when I first met him because as I held him in my arms, he licked my hand … right before he bit me. It was a gentle bite, so I knew Freddie was just playing with me. And he did this over and over. Was Freddie cleaning the area before he bit or did the lick really come after the bite as an apology? It was amusing to me, as was his beFreddie ing just a typical kitten. Well, maybe not a “typical” kitten because I’ve had my share of kitten’s playful bites with their sharp little teeth, and it can hurt! Freddie was very easy to hold. He was heavier than he looked or than I Buddy expected, especially for a kitten, but he seemed to like being held. I even put him on his back and cradled him like a baby and he was very content. Freddie enjoyed batting my fingers with his paws and even put his paws softly on my face. I never felt a claw and I had to look at his paws to see if he was declawed. Nope! Freddie is just gentle when playing I guess. This fellow was found on Highway 70 by a couple of nice women. He had a few little wounds on his face, but there are no signs of them now. I really fell in love with Freddie and even stopped by his condo one last time before I left so that I could hold him again, thinking he was too good to be true. The routine started all over again: lick skin, bite skin, box fingers, paw face, cuddle in arms. Buddy is a two-and-a-half-year-old Black Lab mix with a beautiful, sleek, shiny black coat. He is a little on the shy side, but that is what enticed me. I quickly learned that he knew at least three commands — sit, shake and lay down. When I said the commands to him and found that he eagerly obeyed, I thought it was just coincidental at first. After several times around saying the commands to him, I concluded that Buddy was a smart dog and did indeed know those commands. Although he gave me a few kisses when I sat down on the floor next to him, he was extremely well behaved. The shelter manager called him a “Velcro” dog, and I think that’s a good description of him. Buddy sat so close to me the entire time I was in his kennel. I could envision him following his new owner around everywhere and being a true man’s (or woman’s) best friend. All I can say is that Buddy is so sweet and I was immediately taken with him. He is one of my favorites, along with Rex (who was featured before and still available for adoption).

Ours get loaned out and forgotten, used until they fall apart, or sold for a free-will donation to people adopting from us. They’d be put to good use! I’ve even had friends and relatives of mine pick up carriers at garage sales for me. A couple times when the people having the sale were told it was for a shelter, they didn’t charge them.

AUGUST 17, 2016

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

The gentle sound of waves lapping at the shore tugged me toward the lake. The persistent caress of a warm breeze drew me there. Late afternoon sunshine prickled the back of my neck. A dead branch lay across the trail, nestled in the moldering leaf litter, slowly becoming new soil. As I stooped to pick it up, a bit of color caught my eye. Zooming low above the moss was a big, fuzzy Bumblebee. I didn’t react quick enough to stop my momentum, so the flying branch scared off the flying bee. I did get a brief glimpse of a bright orange stripe in the middle of the classic black and yellow body. I’ve seen bees like this before as they wallow in the bounty of summer on a dazzling prairie blazing star flower. Somehow I came to identify it as Bombus ternarius, a tri-colored Bumblebee. The landscape on this languid day was warm and flourishing in a flower-filled August field. Most bees don’t fly this late in the day in summer. Bumblebees, I know, are able to fly at a wider range of temperatures than many other insects. Flight muscles don’t work when they’re cold, but the limits of Bumblebee flight are lower than most. When chilled, they raise their body temperature above the ambient temperature using a few neat tricks. First, Bumblebees readily absorb what little sunshine peeks through the early northern summer morning or late evening clouds. They can generate their own heat by shivering muscles without flapping their wings. It can take many minutes of shivering to raise their muscle temperature to the required 86

Tri-colored Bumblebees are a brightly-colored and easily recognizable native Bumblebee. This time of year, you’ll most likely see worker bee daughters gathering provisions for the nest (like this one on a prairie blazing star ﬂower). Male bees gather nectar for themselves, but don’t help provision the nest. Photo by Emily Stone.

degrees when the early autumn air temperature falls to 55. Finally, the thick fuzz that covers their bodies insulates and helps retain their hard-earned heat. All these adaptations mean that Bumblebees can be active earlier in the spring, earlier and later on the fall days, and in more adverse weather conditions than honey bees and other not-quite-so-hairy bees. Only quite early in the season will you be in the presence of a queen. Each fall the old queen Bumblebees and all the male bees die, while newly fertilized queens find a safe, underground place to overwinter. When they emerge in the spring, the queens are on their own for at least five weeks, until the eggs they lay become their hard-working colony. In summer the queens are busy in the hives while their daughter workers are out gathering provisions for the nest. While you may imagine that all bees nest in a hive or

hollow tree like the European honey bees we use to pollinate our crops, our native Bumblebees tend to house their colonies in abandoned mouse nests or other underground burrows. The burrows are sheltered from the weather extremes and insulated with grass, thistle-down, and mouse fur. Many other types of native bees are solitary and don’t form colonies at all. It takes a lot of fuel to keep a big Bumblebee buzzing, so the queens will often try to locate their nest near a food source. Near this lakeshore, flowers abound, and one fully understands and appreciates the term “busy as a bee.” Not just any insect has the strength and tongue length to forage for nectar so deep into flowers. The queen bee grabs onto a blossom, and the one next to it, too, for stability. Then she’ll burrow her tongue first and then her head into the flower and angle toward one of the nectar spurs. Throughout this process,

the flower’s anthers brush pollen onto her head, thorax and forelegs. Smaller bees can’t quite pry open the petals to access the juice bar inside and they sometimes cheat by chewing a hole in the nectar spurs. While the plant’s goal for the pollen is for it to travel to the female parts of another flower, the queen bee uses some of it—and nectar, too—to fill a tiny honey pot inside her burrow. This food will sustain her while she broods her nest. When the pantry is stocked, she lays her eggs. After four days, the eggs hatch and she feeds the larvae on more nectar and pollen while they grow. After two weeks as larvae and two more as pupae, the queen’s hard work pays off when her daughters emerge as adults—full grown and ready to work. Queen Bumblebees are especially important pollinators in early spring, but throughout the year, Wisconsin’s thirteen species of native Bumblebees contribute mightily by pollinating native plants as well as crops like tomatoes, peppers, squash, cranberries and blueberries.Their capacity to fly in cooler temperatures and ability to muscle into certain flowers make them invaluable. But Bumblebees face the same threats as honey bees: parasites, pathogens, pesticides, invasive species, climate change and habitat loss, among others. There’s quite a buzz around bees these days, and when you learn about them, it’s not hard to understand why. They are truly the queens of spring.

GRANTSBURG SENIORS by Patzy Wenthe

We celebrated a few of the “Birthday Gang” this week with extra friends and families, Darlene Sherstad and Gene Gronlund’s on Tuesday and Jim Taylor on Friday. Betty Hanson and Mary Danielson were big winners this week at Bingo! We may have had a small group, but we had a good time trying different bingo board challenges! Remember, Thursday is evening dining. Make sure you have your reservation in. Why not make a night of it and stick around after evening dining and join in on the Grantsburg Historical Society’s topic of the month, “Service Stations.” How many kinds of pumps can you remember? Was there a station down the road? What was the cost of gallon of gas when you started driving? Maybe you have pictures to share. Bring them along and join the conversation. We’re always looking for ways to raise money for the everyday expenses at the Senior Center through donations of pieces of material sewn together by the special hands of some of our seniors. We have a quilt to offer as a fundraiser. More details will be available later. You’re welcome to stop in and have a look! Glad to see the container for old eye glasses is again almost full for the Lion’s Club! Don’t forget those box top labels. They also can be dropped off for the school. Stop in! We offer Wi-Fi, coffee and goodies, and the “Book Nook.” For meal reservations, call 715-463-2940. Questions on the center or hall rental, contact Patzy Wenthe (715-222-6400) or the Center (715-463-2940) or email us at: gburg118@gmail.com

AUGUST 17, 2016

Dropping the ball I enjoy playing on our church softball team. I wanted to share with you about a game we played in July. It was a close, well-fought game that came down to the bottom of the seventh inning. We were down by one run with men on second and first when I came to bat. A hit would tie the game. As a boy, this was the stuff of dreams ( and nightmares). I was anxious and swung at a pitch I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have. The result, I hit into a double play ending the game. I felt terrible. When I got home, I realized a few things.

First, I realized I had great teammates who extended me grace and compassion that night and who extend the same off the field. Secondly, I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be something if all of us in this life, instead of blaming or getting angry/upset, extended grace and compassion to each other?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In softball as in life, we all make outs and we all drop the ball at some point. We all need grace and to show grace to others. Third, I was thankful that God extends grace and compassion. We all sin, we all fail to live by His stan-

dards, we have all dropped the ball. Yet, God in His love and grace sent Jesus, His son, to die for us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; paying the penalty of our sin. Through faith in Jesus Christ, our sin is forgiven and we are welcomed into Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence with open arms. Finally, I remembered my prayer before the game. I prayed that the rain would stop. It did. I prayed we would all be safe. We were, no injuries, and I prayed we would enjoy playing together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we did. Looks like a win after all.

Grantsburg PD wins top traffic prize BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Grantsburg Police Chief Jeff Schinzing is beaming after his department won the top prize at the state’s annual highway safety conference. “Burnett County Highway Safety Coordinator Tammy Chell and I have attended the Governor’s Conference on Highway Safety for many years,” Schinzing said. “By participating in highway safety programs, we have funded quite a number of items for our po-

lice department, including radars, breath testers and equipment grants. It’s always been a very positive conference for us.” This year topped them all. “I entered a drawing and won this speed board and trailer – the top prize – valued at $8,200,” he smiled. “They only gave away one. It is solar-powered and will replace the speed board that we have been using for 20 years.” Schinzing’s department also earned a cash prize. “We are involved in a program to encourage seat belt use called ‘Click it or Ticket.’ By participating, we qualified for another $4,000 from highway safety funds that we will use to the equip the village’s new police vehicle when it arrives this fall.” The new speed detector has a lighted display so it can be used day or night. The built-in solar array charges a big battery to power the sign and speed detector. The on-board computer can be set to flash the lights in a fast or slow pattern. It can record how many vehicles have gone past in a day, their average speed and the time they went by, the chief said. “This will allow us to look at the stats and determine how best to use the sign for traffic enforcement. The trailer has a detachable tongue so that the hitch can be removed for added security. It’s a great tool for speed enforcement and accident prevention,” he concluded. STEVE BRIGGS | SENTINEL
