Grantsburg loses native son BY STEVE BRIGGS AND TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—Several dozen people in the small community of Grantsburg gathered in prayer Friday night to mourn the loss of a native son. Sgt. Carson Holmquist, 25, one of the four Marines killed in the Chattanooga shootings Thursday, grew up in Grantsburg and graduated from high school in 2008. “He came from a good town, full of good people,” Mickey Mikeworth, Holmquist’s aunt, said at Friday’s vigil. The Holmquist family released a statement regarding the tragedy Friday evening. “We are deeply grieving the loss
of Sgt. Carson Holmquist,” Caitlin Drake, family spokesperson said. “He was a devoted father and husband. He was also a brother, son, and a loving friend to many. He served his country as a Marine since 2009, served overseas in Okinawa Japan, and did a tour in Afghanistan.” He received an award for his service in Afghanistan and was decorated with many other honors for his conduct. “Carson was devoted to serving his country and gave his free time to many individual causes,” Drake continued. “Carson was an avid fisherman, hunter and he loved farming. He was just about to take ownership of his grandfather’s tractor to restore it to its former glory. He was married in 2012 to Jasmine and has a two year-old son,
Wyatt.” Grantsburg High School Principal Josh Watt called Friday a tough day in a patriotic community. He remembers a dedicated football player who played all four years at Grantsburg, starting the last two at defensive back. Watt, who also served as assistant football coach, says Carson was an avid sportsman who enjoyed fishing and hunting, and was very connected to the outdoors. Watt says he vividly remembers when Holmquist paid a return visit to school after boot camp. “The greatest memory I have of him was when he first visited our school after graduating from boot camp and he was so proud — it was just great to

Cancer survivor gets dream trip BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—Some MakeA-Wish Foundation stories have a happy ending. Sawyer Coy of Grantsburg is living proof. The Make-A-Wish Foundation arranges experiences (described as “wishes”) to children with life-threatening medical conditions. Sawyer, his mother Stacy Coy and Sawyer’s high school chum Nathan Swenson celebrated Sawyer’s first full year in cancer remission with an expenses-paid, Make-A-Wish (MAW) trip to the world’s largest video game convention, June 15-20 in Los Angeles. In April of last year (2014), two days before his 16th birthday, Sawyer was diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma, which some doctors call “the fastest growing human tumor.” Chemotherapy began two days later at Minneapolis Children’s Hospital. Fortunately for Sawyer and more than half of Burkitts Lymphoma patients, intensive chemotherapy helps them achieve longterm survival. On Saturday, July 4, Sawyer celebrated a full first year in remission. He has been in for check-ups every three months, and after receiving a good report at his most recent visit in May, he

DAIRYLAND—From ‘pie in the sky’ planning nearly five years ago to a completed pavilion and a framed-in utility/maintenance shop on the shores of the Tamarack River Flowage, the Dairyland Outdoor Veteran’s Retreat (DOVR) is coming to fruition. “Knowing there was no veteran’s facility north of Highway 29, we wanted to establish something,” Ron Deyo said. “We want vets to enjoy what we enjoy everyday.” Deyo, president of the DOVR organization, first made that comment four years ago when the retreat was just a pipe dream. In fact, the corporation’s mission statement took it a step further and spelled out their intent fairly succinctly. “We are a community of individuals whose purpose is to serve American veterans by developing and operating a retreat center facility and campground in the Town of Dairyland for all veterans to experience in a healthy recreational setting,” With all the clearing and building which is going on, it’s obvious the group is determined. “We are getting stuff done,” Deyo remarked. “We want to get the shop finished this year and maybe construct four R.V. pads as the start of our campground — we could even get campers here yet this fall.” The shop, with the help of Carpenters Local 361 out of Duluth/Superior, went from bare ground to a framed-in building in less than a week. “We couldn’t have done this without their help,”

Mom Stacy was alarmed when the staff at Minneapolis Children’s suggested Sawyer apply for a MAW trip. “I always thought a kid getting a Make-A-Wish means he’s not going to recover, and the

Measuring up
In case you’re curious: Yes, I am still driving a Honda. “So why hasn’t the car been mentioned in this column?” you ask. Harvey just reached the 200,000-mile plateau last week and while on its own it may seem to be a milestone worthy of a celebration, it pales compared to what Harry achieved. Harry, for those of you new to this column, was the first Honda Civic in the Beckmann household. We bought the car back in 1993 when we didn’t have a lot of money and the per-gallon mileage was at a premium. That car had been to all of the lower 48 contiguous states, Mexico and Canada. The wife and I racked up 406,000 miles before we retired Harry back in 2011. To the end, it was still averaging about 46 miles per gallon. I think the mechanics at the shop where Harry was routinely serviced were conspiring to keep the car going so we could reach that 400K plateau. In fact, we got vanity plates with that same honorific from the DMV to celebrate. People see the plates and are forever asking why we like to Seems run so much — yeah, I don’t get to Me it either. Anyway, it’s not unheard of Todd Beckmann for Honda’s to get five or 600,000 miles and the mechanics, who knew how important Harry was to us, were just doing their part to help us out. On that fateful day in April, I took the “H” off the hood as a trophy, drove Harry for the last time and turned the keys over to a salvage guy. I had briefly toyed with the idea of having the top of the car shaved off and converting the whole thing to a planter so I could leave it in the yard but figured the cubic yards of dirt needed to fill the car would bankrupt us. So we went car shopping instead. After about a week, we added Junior, the newest Honda, to the Beckmann family and I inherited Harvey, the wife’s car. The two current Honda’s have a combined 305,000 miles on them so it’ll be awhile before they become noteworthy.
Life of a property owner
Owning your own home certainly never gets boring — it seems there is always something that needs doing. If it isn’t the buildup of mold on the garage that needs to be cleaned and re-sealed, the grass needs to be clipped, the plants need to be watered, the peeling paint on that windowsill needs to be scraped and re-painted, the flower beds need to be weeded or the compost pile needs turning. I took down a wayward maple tree the other day — it was growing too close to the house. You’d think from the way the birds were hollering at me I had taken down their favorite roost. And there’s no break once winter settles in — other than a gnat-free environment, the season has its own chores. On the other side of the coin however, are the small joys of home-ownership. Like finding an apricot on the lawn under the apricot trees I planted four years ago. It was the first fruit EVER from those trees — how exciting.

I’m not drinking that! One of the ways I have always enjoyed cooling off and getting a caffeine lift is with a bottle of pop. As a kid, Coca-Cola was my beverage of choice. When Diet Coke came out in the early 1980s, I switched over to save some calories. I know that pop is not the best choice for something to refresh, and I have cut my habit considerably over the years to as few as one a day. (I sounded a bit like a smoker there, didn’t I?) I try to get my eight glasses of water in every day to keep things in balance. I bring this to From the your attention, Publisher’s gentle reader, because I am about to Desk go on a bit of a rant Tom Stangl here about the Coca-Cola company. C C l recently ranked 10th Coca-Cola on Fortune Magazine’s list of the World’s Most Admired Companies. The company was also the top ranked beverage company on the list. It is a global company with more than 500 sparking and still brands, selling 1.9 billion servings a day in more than 200 countries. They sell everything from water to juice to sports drinks to pop. Coke is one of the brands that is instantly recognizable by nearly everyone on the planet. Even the
shape and design of the bottle is iconic, designed by the Root Glass Company in Terre Haute, Indiana. The branding and marketing of the product has been well thought out by some of the most creative people of the past century, with nearly every decision being a hit. In fact, the misses are so rare that they stand out like sore thumbs. “New” Coke, anyone? It is the latest marketing program that has me perplexed and a bit annoyed. In our society’s drive to have everyone be relevant and famous, we continue to indulge many whims. Coke’s latest marketing campaign, which puts “Share a Coke” with specific first names as well as generic phrases like Mom, Dad or your soulmate, panders to this need for us all to be recognized, down to our soft drinks. The campaign works on several levels. I used to go into a convenience store and simply grab a bottle of Diet Coke. Now, I stop to find a name that doesn’t have a negative connotation to me. Yes, I know this is stupid, but I actually have to tell myself that the liquid in all of the bottles is the same and it doesn’t matter what the name is on the label. The momentary grinding of gears in my thought process truly annoys me, and I can’t decide if I am more upset with myself or with the company.

I have been in stores where a large display of unrefrigerated Coke products are placed in bins, so people can rifle through them looking to find their own or a special name. I have witnessed teenage girls doing just that, searching for their own name, or someone else’s. If your name isn’t among the 250 that made the cut, you can always go online and make a virtual bottle to share with your friends on all the social media platforms. I get it, you can take a “selfie” with a bottle of Coke with your name on the label. This is the ultimate targeted marketing. By having our name on a container of an internationally recognized soft drink brand, we are, by association, famous. Has it truly come to this? Are we so shallow that we need to find affirmation (or at least brand awareness) by relating, on a personal level, to a pop can? I believe it has, and I shudder to think what is next. Of course, I still drink Diet Coke, after I find a name with a positive connotation. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading; I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

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.

Improving budget and protecting taxpayers
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Enough already! Dear Editor My husband and I went to Watercross Saturday night to enjoy the fireworks, as we’ve done in years past, and were extremely annoyed and offended by the emcee. His repetitive commentary was a distraction to what could have been an enjoyable experience. The show began with a very moving tribute to fallen Grantsburg Marine, Carson Holmquist, who was killed in Chattanooga, Tenn. with four other military members. The 21-gun salute, taps, moment of silence and the national anthem were quite touching. The music that accompanied the fireworks display was patriotic and would have been an additional tribute to the fallen military members, had it not been repeatedly washed out and voiced-over by the man who abused his microphone privilege throughout the entire fireworks display. I understand that donations are necessary to put on the fireworks display at Watercross every year, and that a certain amount of solicitation is a good way of encouraging people to donate. A simple request at the beginning and end of the fireworks display would have been sufficient. Unfortunately, the MC, aka “Mr. Microphone,” opted to abuse his microphone privilege by broadcasting his opinions throughout the entire fireworks display with non-stop, repetitive comments. His comments were annoying, obnoxious and an ultimate distraction from the entire experience. I realize that the fireworks display is free entertainment for people to watch and enjoy. I appreciate the donations given by local businesses and sponsors to make this show happen every year. I realize that donations from the crowd of people who show up to enjoy the display are also necessary. I suspect that the emcee’s extreme abuse of the microphone and his commentaries may have caused some of the donors/contributors to question whether or not they would support this event in the future. A few requests for donations at the beginning, and at the end, of the display to help purchase fireworks for the 2016 fireworks show would have been sufficient. The constant barking over the microphone throughout the entire show was annoying, obnoxious and offensive. The electricity to the microphone should have been cut, or at least someone involved with planning the festivities should have advised the emcee to zip it. Marianne Scheel Grantsburg
The state budget process came to an end last week as the State Legislature passed the amended budget bill, which was signed into law by the Governor over the weekend. Beginning with the introduction of the Governor’s budget bill earlier this year, the budget debate has proven challenging as we worked to invest in our state’s priorities while living within the means of taxpayers. Throughout the process, public input helped bring attention to a number of provisions in need of review and the final package approved by legislators was improved as a result. I appreciate the input provided by area residents on the budget, expressing support or concerns with various provisions proposed in the budget. Thanks to the testimony at the public hearings and many comments from citizens on the budget bill, significant revisions were made, including removing changes to the Family Care and IRIS long-term care programs, maintaining Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs), restoring funding for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, and preserving the SeniorCare prescription drug program. The State Legislature also prioritized available resources for education by providing nearly $200 million in additional funding above the Governor’s proposal. In addition to restoring funding for the Stewardship Program, the budget
makes a number of important changes affecting conservation. I worked to restore funding for conservation programs and positions that are helping to improve water quality and preserve our resources in western Wisconsin and throughout the state. These positions include local county conservation and UW Extension staff that work with agricultural producers and landowners Sheila to implement best Harsdorf practices in conservation. A proposal District 10 to provide resources Senator for farmer-led water quality initiatives was approved. The revised budget also preserves a role for citizens in developing agriculture and natural resources policies through the DATCP and Natural Resources Boards. As property tax relief continues to be an important issue for homeowners, working families, and seniors, I am pleased that the budget passed by the State Legislature continues our efforts to reduce the property tax burden.

Indians were found everywhere (in the Grantsburg area) with trails leading through the woods from lake to lake. There were Indian villages on the shores of both Wood and Trade Lake. White folks lived isolated from their nearest neighbors. But never once can Mr. (August) Anderson recall any depredation committed by red men of the forest. At times the men came to homes of the white men in quest of food. So quiet and orderly did they intrude, that their entrance was not observed. They never took food without permission. They’d make signs to indicate they were hungry and would relish the potatoes, bread, meat or vegetables they were given. —Journal & Sentinel, May 11, 1923

erty taxes on a median-valued home in Wisconsin will again go down over the next two years according to the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau. This reduction builds upon our work to enact $500 million in property tax relief in the last legislative session, which included buying down the technical college levy by $400 million that resulted in about a 50% reduction in this line item on property tax bills. The State Legislature also worked to reduce costs and improve taxpayer value through a number of budget initiatives. UW System students and their families will have certainty in their college costs as tuition will be frozen for an additional two years. A tax reform measure reduces the marriage penalty in the state income tax code. The budget bill will continue promoting lean initiatives and finding efficiencies in state government, while mandates on local governments that resulted in higher construction costs were repealed. While there are inevitably provisions that I have concerns with in the state budget, I believe the budget bill passed by the Legislature represents significant improvement and reflects the feedback provided by citizens. I encourage your continued input by calling my office at 1-800-862-1092 or 608-266-7745 or by sending me an e-mail at Sen.Harsdorf@legis.wi.gov.

COY: Make-A-Wish trip a success CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
serious and unexpected, by no choice of your own,” Stacy said. She added that planning a MAW trip can give a young patient something positive and exciting to plan and hope for, and possibly aid their recovery. The MAW trip process takes many months to choose and plan and Sawyer just wasn’t sure what he wanted to do. When a hospital social worker learned of Sawyer’s video game interest, she suggested attending the Entertainment and Electronics Expo (E3) convention held every June in Los Angeles. It’s a five day event with an estimated 150,000 attendees daily. People come from all over the world. Sawyer agreed to the trip. “At first, we were planning for me to go last June, but I would have been too sick to enjoy it,” he said. So, they pushed the trip out to June 2015 and hoped for the best. Much of 2014 went by in a blur. Sawyer doesn’t remember a lot of it, and is grateful. He spent about three months in the hospital and endured five courses of chemotherapy in which he took a different chemo drug every day for five consecutive days. Some drugs made him weak and nauseous. When he lost all his hair, supportive family members and friends adopted the cue ball look too. For months, he was sustained by IV fluids and drank an occasional high-protein drink. “Mom would make a great meal. I would take two bites and say ‘I’m full,’” he recalls. “I had no appetite and couldn’t keep anything down.” Fast forward to June this year. Sawyer completed his junior year at Grantsburg High School and is feeling great. For the trip to LA, the MAW group picked up the tab for every expense, Stacy said. That included limo service from Grantsburg to the Minneapolis airport and back, meals, and three VIP tickets to the convention that cost $2,000 each. MAW gave them money for food and other expenses, and provided souvenirs,
lodging, and VIP tickets to Universal Studios as well. A MAW volunteer met them at LAX airport, helped find their luggage and got them to their free BMW rental car. They stayed in a suite at the Sheraton Hotel, Universal City. At the Los Angeles Convention Center the first morning, things didn’t go well. No MAW people were there to assist. “It was wall-to-wall people, very confusing, no place to rest and no one to help direct us,” Stacy said. Sawyer had been promised front-of-the-line access to try the newest video games that won’t come out until next year. But, it didn’t happen. They were frustrated the trip wasn’t going smoothly and were ready to give up. Then, a bystander noticed their MAW badges and told them to go to GOOB COY | SENTINEL the Microsoft booth at 3 p.m. Once there, a man named Harry promised to make everything better. And did he ever. In memory of David Ahlquist, the Grantsburg School District planted a tree in his honor last week. When the convention closed “David demonstrated that living each ordinary day honorably, with faith and a selfless concern for to the public at 6 p.m., they reothers, can make a huge impact,” superintendent Joni Burgin said in tribute. “David’s leadership mained as guests at Microsoft’s with the school board and staff created a great school system, a great place for students and staff after-hours party, where waitto thrive, a wonderful community asset.

New park facility The Village of Siren and representatives from our generous sponsors dedicated the new restroom in Crooked Lake Park on Thursday. The new restrooms were completed earlier this spring by Jaskolka Construction after money was set aside from the Village of Siren. Representatives at the dedication include (from left) Rudy Mothes and Dave Alden, Village of Siren; Glen Meier, Bremer Bank; Joan O’Fallon, Polk Burnett; Tammy Twedt-Close, Bremer Bank and Melvin Jones, Siren Lions Club.
see,� said Watt. “It’s something I will always remember, seeing him in his blues.� Watt wasn’t alone in remembering Holmquist. “Carson lived just down the road from me. I would wait for him to come by in the morning, and we would ride our bikes to school together,� classmate Ben Larson recalled. “It always took us a lot longer to get home, because we always found fun stuff to do on the way. I had a lot of fun with that guy — we will miss him.� Ausha Arnold also recalled Carson fondly. “I graduated with Carson. I knew him for a long time,� she said. “One of the things that stands out the most to me was that he could be goofy, but he was definitely someone who would always be there for you if you needed him. If you were upset, he would try to make you feel better. He had a heart of gold, for sure.� As with all tragedy, the family has been tragically robbed from such a young life
being taken away and they are asking that gifts, cards, letters, interviews, and all condolences be forwarded to the following email address and a spokesperson will respond: sgtholmquistfamily@gmail.com. According to Drake, Holmquist’s burial date is unknown due to the investigation process of the tragedy. It is Marine protocol to stand with the fallen around the clock until his remains can be brought home. Carson will come home to his hometown for burial and more details will be released as the investigation moves forward. In the meantime, the American Legion in Grantsburg is accepting donations for the family. Donations can also be made to the Holmquist Memorial Fund at the following: Hiawatha National Bank P.O. Box 729 409 N Cascade Street Osceola, WI 54020 Excerpts of this story courtesy KARE 11 TV.
DOVR: Humble start at vet retreat port,� Deyo remarked. “We think that support will be easier to come by now that perspective supporters can see our progress.� As funds become available, the plan is to build up to seven two and four bedroom cabins, a campground for tents and RVs and, ultimately, a lodge to accommodate respite care for veterans. To that end, the third annual fund raising benefit is slated for Saturday, Aug. 8 at the Fishbowl Bar north of Danbury from noon to 6 p.m. and will offer raffles, a silent auction and food. Anyone wishing to help can contact Deyo through the organizations website — DOVR.org.

Deyo expressed. And Deyo was quick to hand out accolades to others who have been instrumental in getting the retreat to the point that it is today. “K-Wood Truss Rafters, Johnson Lumber, Northwoods Lumber, Hopkins Concrete, T.C. Concrete, and Arlan Pope Construction have donated material or made price concessions on materials for us,� he noted. “Just last week, Louisiana Pacific out of Hayward kicked in $4,000.� With 501c3 tax-exempt status, he’s hoping to see more of that as the project advances. “As of now, we are looking for business and corporate financial sup-

DANBURY—The past decided to revisit Forts Folle Avoine and also enjoy a hearty wild rice pancake breakfast as well. The past has a name — Chuck Peterson, and he currently hails from Grantsburg. Peterson worked as an interpreter during the early days of rebuilding Burnett County’s historic site. His interest in history was kindled at an early age. He personally knew the Lakota chief Red Wing, and spent a couple years with him as the chief worked remodeling homes in his neighborhood. Peterson later enrolled at the University of Minnesota to study engineering, but switched majors and graduated with a degree in education. He was hired by the Mound, Minnesota school district, becoming a science teacher at the middle school. That occupation left the summers wide open to follow other pursuits. One of them was working as a counselor for an all-girls primitive camp in the Burnett County area. He happened upon the restoration work at Forts Folle Avoine and began researching that particular chapter of history, deciding he had gained enough knowledge to portray a character of that period. He began by choosing young George Nelson, the 16-year-old original clerk of the XY fur trading company. Describing him as “too proper” and a “crybaby”, Peterson decided the personality of the succeeding XY clerk, Michel Curot, was a much better fit for him. His research revealed that Curot was “one of the boys’ and had many more facets to emulate. After breakfast, Forts director Steve Wierschem gave the former Nelson/Curot a personal tour of the site, comparing “then and now” and sharing stories (of course.) Happy to see that Angelique was still encamped in the stockade, he also met sum-

Created locally, known nationally BY HARRIET RICE SENTINEL
A&H—At just 400 square feet, the tiny Claymoon Copper Gallery packs in an amazing selection of fine art. But the centerpieces of the gallery are the copper wall sculptures by husbandand-wife creative team Dave and Judy Hedblom who work in the adjacent 2,600 square feet studio space at the back of their building. Originally from the Twin Cities, the Hedblom’s both worked in corporate settings, but realized that creating art was where they needed and wanted to be. Dave had pottery as his creative outlet and was teaching pottery part-time at the community college in Inver Grove Heights, Minn. Eventually, the couple moved to Lindstrom, Minn. “I wanted something that would compliment his pottery, so we started playing with copper,” said Judy. “Our first piece was copper tubing around a mirror — totally different from what we’re doing now. Then I tried working with a torch, and I fell in love with it.”
They started small Dave reminisced, “When we first started, we lived in a 1,000 square-foot house in Lindstrom with one big living room-kitchen. Judy had just started using the plumber’s torch. I’d be sitting in the living room watching television, then all of a sudden, I’d hear the oven door open. She pulled the rack out with a piece of copper on it, and I’d hear the whoosh as the torch lit up. When we moved, we had to take the stove out and put in a new one.” Self-taught, Judy eventually graduated to a larger torch and now, 15 years later, uses an oxygen propane torch for a process called “flame painting.” It’s a three-step process Dave described as he worked in their studio.
The production process “On Monday, we figure out what we need to do and prep all the work for the week. It can change, but we figure out what pieces we need to do. Then the copper gets cut and stored and the drawings are done. “The next day or even the same day, we’ll start the machining process. The bead roller is a machine with series of dies you can put in. There’s a positive and negative die. That way, when I run [the copper] through, it does different designs, puts different stresses on the metal. “The next thing we do is buff it. That’s the dirty part. It’s where we use a buffer to clean [the copper] and take off all the
patinas that are on it. The copper starts patining right away after manufacture. We buff it down to raw copper; it takes the shine off, but that’s OK in our case. “The third step in the process is firing: using a torch to heat the copper to get different colors out of it. As the flame painter, Judy took over the narrative. “We don’t put anything on the copper. It’s chemical and acid free.” She continued, “It’s an oxidation process that comes from the heat because I do it in layers. You have color layer over color layer fired at different temperatures from the torch. That’s what gives you the depth and movement coming through on these pieces. Each piece will be fired three to four times. After the firing is done, the pieces have to be buffed again with a smaller buffing tool to let the copper come back out again.”
Retail vs wholesale The Hedblom’s started by taking their sculptures to art shows, at one point doing a show every other week — 26 shows a year. “That was insane!” admitted Dave. Judy added, “From the shows [the business] just grew. It grew beyond anything we could imagine.” As their visibility increased, they began to get requests for their art to adorn corporate and health care settings. “We are in a major insurance company in Wisconsin, in Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater, Minn., in clinics, dentists’ offices — copper seems to have a warm flow feel, and I think it’s healing for those facilities. We have pieces in the library at St. Croix Falls.” In the last two years, by creating wholesale work for galleries around the country, they’ve begun to find some balance. Dave explained: “Last year we did maybe 13 [shows]. There’s a difference between wholesale and retail. Even though we are working with galleries, you don’t have to travel anyplace.” The galleries where their art is sold are listed on their website. Locally, their work is in the Purple Pelican Gallery on Walnut St. in Spooner. Seasonally, they take their work to Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Judy said, “We’re fortunate that we can pack up and do shows in the Southwest, which is really our market in the winter and spring time.” How did they end up in Burnett County? Judy told the story. “It was really odd, because David and I over the years were looking for a place to move. We always ended up here. I’m not quite sure why. I guess it’s because of the beauty and the

people were friendly. But mostly for me, it was the nature part — the beauty.” Where did the business and gallery name come from? Judy answered, “Originally, when [Dave] was still doing pottery, it was ‘Claymoon Copper and Clay.’ Then, as a joke for a couple of years, we called it ‘Copper and Clayless.’ Then he didn’t have time to do pottery because we were so busy with the copper, so it became Claymoon Copper.” Working at what you love as a team, it isn’t work at all. “This is fun because I do a lot of the metal bending and things in the back room,” said Dave. “Judy does the firing primarily, but I know
how to do it and she knows how to do things back here. We know where our strengths are.” Judy said at one point she went back to college to earn a business degree. “I can do the business part of it, and he’s the engineer part of it,” she commented. The works of 27 regional and national artists are represented in the elegantly arranged gallery at 2390 County Rd. A, just beyond the intersection of County Roads A & H. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the gallery is open Friday-Saturday 10-5, and Sundays 10-1. For additional information, visit claymooncoppergallery.com.

Paraplegic opens water cross weekend BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—First-time water-crosser Scott Martinson wasn’t going to let his paralysis get the better of him so with the help of friends and family, he got strapped onto a Polaris sled and rocketed across Memory Lake in a series of modified drag racing heats on Friday — a dream of his for several years. But that dream may never have been realized when a snowmobile accident left him without the use of his legs 17 years ago. Martinson, who grew up on the Rum River, was running up the river with a friend when he came around a corner only to see it was glare ice. “We were going about 50 mph, I didn’t have studs on my sled, the sled slid into the bank, I flew off the sled and hit a tree on the bank of the river,” Martinson stated. “I broke my back and I’m paralyzed from the T8 vertebrae down — from just above my navel.” A lifetime snowmobile enthusiast, and even a Polaris employee, Martinson does see the irony of what he’s doing. “I’ve always water-skipped — even as a kid,” he reported. Spectating? Sure, but racing? “Four years ago we were here and two of my buddies were racing,” Martinson recalled. “That night at the campsite we started talking about running drags.”
That was the impetus it took. “After that, I had it in my mind to build a sled to see if I could do it — I didn’t know if I could but I wanted to try.” And that’s just who Scott Martinson is. “I love life,” he said simply. Friday’s finish was proof that he could do it but Martinson is the first to admit it wasn’t a one-man job. “It couldn’t be done without help,” he pointed out. He credits Aaron Godeen and Nick Gustafson with helping him get his machine ready. Last year was going to be his coming-out party but that plan was derailed. “I took my sled out on a practice run and ended up with a pressure sore so that took me out for the rest of the year,” he remarked. Martinson is not a stranger in the pit area of the water cross world. “I’ve worked on the sleds of a few of the other racers,” he noted. But watching water cross racing, one sees most riders standing as they drive their sleds — so can a paraplegic successfully water skip? “Having the use of my legs would sure help,” Martinson quipped. “I don’t have stomach muscles so if I move on the sled, that’s the way the machine will turn.” Unlike on the ground (grass drags for example), the force of the ground benefits the driver. “If I’m on ground I can pull up on the

bars and it centers me on the sled,” he explained. “I don’t have that ability on water.” That answers the question of why Martinson made his official start in

Siren’s Nate M Martin was a member of th the 8-Man Nate Martin North team which defeated the South by a score of 20-14. The south jumped out to an early lead 6-0, but the north squad fired right back to tie it up at 6-6. The north found their way to the end zone again to go up 12-6 at the end of the first quarter. In the third the north struck again to go up 20-6, before the south scored a touchdown and two-point conversion in the fourth. But it was not enough as the north hung on for the 20-14 win. Martin rushed for five yards on seven attempts, and was one for two in passing attempts for 8
yards. In the Small School All-Star Game, Grantsburg’s Tony Britto ton made a s splash with a g game winning touchdown rreception in o overtime to ttake the win, 110-3. The offense w was quiet for Tony Britton both squads with no touchdowns scored in regulation. The only scoring came on a 30-yard field goal in the second quarter to put the North up 3-0, and then a 26-yard field goal late in the fourth by the South squad to tie the game up at 3-3 sending the game into overtime. The North team scored quickly on an eight-yard pass from Mitchel Neubauer to Britton. The South team fumbled on their possession which was recovered by the North to end the game. Britton had 59 yards rushing for the day to lead all rushers, and tallied 13 yards receiving.

Kasik is King, Oestreich Won Unsprung St. Croix Falls—After a one week mid-summer break, St. Croix Valley Raceway returned to action in hot, humid conditions under clear skies on July 17. Heavy rains earlier in the week left the track heavy and saturated – forcing track officials to remain active throughout the night, constantly grooming and smoothing the clay. The surface work paid dividends for Justin Oestreich, Jason VandeKamp, Rob Caho, Jeremy Kasik, Krysta Swearingen and Steven Johnson – feature winners all. The first feature to hit the track was the SCVR Pure Stocks, with Skip Lutgen and heat race winner Krysta Swearingen setting the pace. Swearingen quickly took command, establishing a few car-lengths cushion between herself and July 3 winner Tucker Quinn. Another few lengths back was to two-time winner Casey Ogilvie. The field settled into their respective grooves and ran a quick, clean main event with Swearingen joining the multiple-win club at The Valley in front of Quinn, Ogilvie and Lutgen. Next up was the Minivans/Future Fours, who brought some last laps dramatics to the show. Steven Johnson and Damon “Dread Pirate” Roberts brought the field to green with Roberts nabbing the top spot early leaving Johnson to fend off challenges from heat race winner Nick Axelsen and Brock Anderson. At the halfway point, Axelsen began to fade and eventually pulled off, and at that same time, Johnson developed and extra burst of speed in his #3 mount and began reeling in Roberts. As they took the white flag, Johnson was right on Roberts’ bumper. The last lap saw the bold Johnson power to the point for the second time in 2015, besting Roberts and Anderson. Jeremy Kasik has done what no other Valley driver has accomplished so far this summer – win thrice consecutively. After being shut out of victory lane the first two months of the summer, Kasik sat atop The Hill for the first time ever on June 26th, and he’s hoarded SCVR’s victory lane all to himself since then in UMSS Micro Sprint competition. Val Urman and Kasik were in a real donnybrook early, with a full-throttle line-swapping exhibition in the opening laps. A handful of laps in, Kasik took over, settled into a groove and pulled away. The field stretched out the rest of the way and Kasik went on to dominate for
his third consecutive win, and second consecutive cleansweep, ahead of Urman, reigning series champion Jack Berger and Austin Letourneau. The UMSS Traditional Sprints completed yet another caution free 25-lap main event; something the group has accomplished six times so far this season in thirteen series events. Maybe not coincidentally, the throttle-mashing Rob Caho Jr. has won three of the six all-green affairs, including the latest one on Friday. Apparently the twotime series champion doesn’t like to slow down. Caho started outside the #55 of Joseph Kouba, came out of the first set of turns as the leader, and never looked back. Rick Kobs was following Caho in the high groove early, followed by Kouba and the low-running Johnny Parsons – who was dueling with Kevin Bradwell. It’s a rare occurrence for Caho to give up a position on the track, and that was the case again on Friday, securing his series leading fourth win on the season. The low groove came in late for Parsons, going from fourth to second in the latter stages of the race. Kobs, Joseph Kouba and Jimmy Kouba rounded out the top five. The penultimate event of the night was the WISSOTA Modified feature, with Jacob Toepper and David Mastell leading the field on the restart after a turn two pile-up after the original start. Mastell led the opening circuit, followed by Mitch Weiss and the hard-charging Jason VandeKamp, who was quickly up to third from the seventh starting position. On lap three, VandeKamp made his way by Weiss, and two laps later, wrestled the lead away from Mastell. VandeKamp opened up a few car length advantage while Mastell, Weiss and Josh Bazey had a nice three-car tussle going for second. At the double checkers it was VandeKamp claiming his third feature win of the summer over Weiss, Mastell, Bazey and second heat race winner John Remington. Wrapping up the night was the WISSOTA Modifieds with pole starting Kyle Steffen leading the opening lap in front of Justin Oestreich and heat race winner Steve Lavasseur. On lap two, Oestreich took over the point and was pushing his car hard on moisture laden clay. Jason Miller moved up to pressure Lavasseur and the two dueled for much of the middle portion of the race. Miller

used a late restart to work around Lavasseur and pressure Oestreich. While Oestreich was fighting with Miller, he was fighting even harder against his own car. On entry into the turns, Oestreich’s #46 was clearly bottoming out – it was later learned due to the complete absence of a left rear spring or shock absorber, which had been torn free from their mounts late in the race. Despite the obvious handling issues, Oestreich managed to power his way to his first win of the season ahead of Miller, Lavasseur, Steffen and Jon Harer. The UMSS Winged Sprint Cars return to St. Croix Valley Raceway this Friday, July 24, for Thunder in the Valley #2 – the Dan Grams Memorial. WISSOTA Modifieds will be on hiatus and the winged sprinters will be joined by their UMSS counterparts, the Traditional and Micro Sprints, along with the Minivans/Future Fours, Pure Stocks and WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds.

Is church important anymore?
Pastor Tim Quinn First Baptist Church
With the constant availability of the internet, Christians have the option of hearing great speakers like Chuck Swindoll, John McCarthur, John Piper and many more with just a click. In addition to that, churches regularly record their services or even stream them online as they are happening. It is reasonable to ask the question in our modern, high tech world “Do we really even need to go to church anymore when we can get such high quality services online?� True, I have to admit that I am biased. I am a pastor and have been in the ministry for some 20 years, but I think I am on solid ground biblically when I say there has never been a time when we need the church more. Church, as anyone who is part of a great church (like ours!) knows, is about more

than a sermon and some music. When we attend a healthy church, we encounter people who love Jesus. We watch God work through humble servants. We enjoy fellowship that helps us live out our faith Monday through Saturday. Church is not a building or a pastor, but a marvelous group of people who, though saved, are still sinners. Church is a group of people who, though still struggling with sin, want to follow Christ and help others in their faith. In our church I have watched the beauty of people ministering to a family who lost their three year old in a farming accident. The horrible nature of the tragedy only highlighted the beauty of the responses from people in our church. I have watched God use His Word to move

people from casual interest in God’s Kingdom to true disciples. Church like that can’t be accessed through the internet. There is not a website on the planet that can give what a loving church body can give. An internet address can’t put it’s arm around you and pray with you as I have seen people do at our church many times. Websites can’t weep with you, laugh with you and invite you over for a quick lunch. God uses people — broken, ordinary people like you and me to minister, not only to one another, but to a lost world. Are you part of a healthy church body? If so, thank God every day for it. If not, find one. You will be changed forever.

Dale Lindbeck, Brian McCurdy Jr. and Chad Maki hit the water during the finale at the 39th annual World Championship Watercross held in Grantsburg over the weekend.
Mindy Zappa was still all smiles as she awaited the retriever to pull her and her sled out of the water.

Tyler Bethke took a victory lap around the lake.

At left, Diesel Drive entertained the crowds at the street dance on Friday night. Right, Kyle Carpenter showed off the checkered flag during his victory lap. Some drivers weren’t so lucky (below) and needed some help getting their sleds up from the bottom of the lake.

Left, Joel Glover had the hot spot of the weekend as he manned the grill in one of the concession stands. Little Wyatt Carlson (above) was having fun shopping for a new helmet.
