A done deal • Gov. Walker signs Carson Holmquist Memorial Highway bill into law BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG—Less than nine months have passed since the idea of memorializing Marine Sergeant Carson Holmquist by renaming a state highway in his honor was an inkling of an idea, to Tuesday, when Gov. Scott Walker was in Grantsburg to sign the legislation into law. “By signing this law, we are paying a lasting tribute to a real hero,” Gov. Walker told those who crowded into the high school auditorium, including Carson’s family. Holmquist, a 2008 graduate of Grantsburg High School, is the Grantsburg Marine who lost his life in a suspected terrorist shooting in Chattanooga in July, 2015. “Carson was born in St. Croix Falls and raised in Grantsburg, and we feel it’s only fitting to make the highway connecting both cities a memorial highway in his honor,” Katie Clifford explained of a petition to get the grassroots effort underway. “There are a lot of us area and former Grantsburg residents trying to show our respect.” State Senator Sheila Harsdorf and Rep. Adam Jarchow created the bill, got it through their respective committees, got the bill signed and passed, and then forwarded it to the Governor.

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
GRANTSBURG–World War II veteran Gene Gronlund, 90, of Grantsburg will be among 77 veterans touring Washington D.C.’s national veterans memorials on Saturday, April 16. His daughter, Janet Hayne, will accompany him. The veterans are guests of Honor Flight, Minnesota chapter, and the Minnesota Vietnam Veterans Charity. This will be the 14th charter flight the Minnesota group has sponsored for veterans since September of 2008. The Minnesota chapter has flown 1,288 Minnesota area veterans on the one-day trip to see all the veterans’ memorials. In addition, veterans from seven other Honor Flight “hub cities” across the U.S. will arrive in Washington that day, so the nation’s capital will be host to about 500 mostly WWII vets.
SIREN—The State of Wisconsin lived up to its nickname of a “battleground” state in the 2016 battle for the White House on Tuesday. State-wide, close to 50 percent of eligible voters were projected to find their way to the polls to cast a ballot during the presidential primary. The last time turnout topped the 40 percent mark was in SEE ELECTION, PAGE 2

Going to the dogs? •Burnett County considers adding K-9 to law enforcement arsenal. BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—The fact Burnett County is being inundated with narcotics cases — the $300,000 in stolen property in 2014 alone, to fuel the purchase of illegal drugs, is the reasoning behind why the sheriff’s department wants to develop its own K-9 program. “We’re kind of like an island up here,” Sheriff Ron Wilhelm told the Burnett County Board of Supervisors last week. “We are one of the only jurisdictions without a dog.” He sees the primary purposes of the K-9 as twofold. “The dog would assist with executing search warrants, but the dog’s main duty would be to work in tandem with other deputies on traffic stops,” the sheriff continued. “I think it could be a tremendous tool.” Why tandem? “The law says we can only hold a vehicle for about 12 minutes on a traffic stop — although that’s not a hard and fast rule,” Wilhelm stated. “If the K-9 was not working in tandem with the deputies doing traffic stops, there’d be no way the K-9 could get to the scene to do a quick walk-around of the vehicle within that time frame.” The timing would be critical because if the dog “hit” on the vehicle, detecting the odor of narcotics, that’s enough probable cause for the deputies to detain the vehicle and conduct a thorough search.
Ron Wilhelm
The sheriff points to a lot of community support to start a K-9 program. “We’ve already received about $4,000 toward the program, and we haven’t even solicited funds yet — the support has been overwhelming,” Wilhelm declared. “The community as a whole is behind it. “We’ve even talked about some sort of competition among schoolaged kids to name the dog — we want everyone to know the dog.” But funding the program was the gist of Thursday’s presentation. All along, it has been Wilhelm’s desire to have the program not be another drain on taxpayers, but rather to make it a sustainable program through donations. To that end, he connected with the St. Croix Valley Foundation, the group used by St. Croix County for its successful K-9 program — a
program Wilhelm is attempting to emulate. Margi Miller, an affiliate development officer for the foundation, was at Thursday’s meeting to answer questions about the possibility of Burnett County creating a K-9 fund with the foundation. “If you set up a K-9 fund with the foundation, donors would get a tax deduction for any donations they make,” she told the supervisors. “I truly think that is the biggest benefit of a fund with us.” The downside of dealing with the foundation are the fees it charges, including a set-up and annual fee plus a small quarterly percentage of the fund’s balance. “Sounds like a win-win for the foundation,” Don Taylor, board chairman, remarked. “Well, we do have to keep the lights on,” Miller replied. But, the tax deduction argument got supervisors thinking why go out of house to establish the fund? “The county could set up its own fund,” Jerry Pardun pointed out. “We could make the fund 501(c)3 (tax-exempt) and offer a deduction ourselves.” Member Dale Dresel agreed. “The sheriff’s department auxiliary is tax exempt,” he reported. “We could do the same with a K-9 fund.” While a final decision was not made Thursday, Wilhelm did say running the financing of the program through the foundation would cut down on the paperwork the sheriff’s department has to do. A decision to move forward with the K-9 program could come as early as this week, when the county’s public safety committee takes up the debate.

1980. In the Republican race for the White House, Ted Cruz easily defeated Donald Trump 48 to 35 percent or 527,000 to 383,00. The Democratic race was a little tighter with Bernie Sanders capturing 57 percent of the vote or 563,000 to Hillary Clinton’s 43 percent or 429,000. For the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Rebecca Bradley garnered the most votes in any race, amassing 1,008,000 votes, or 52 percent, to put down a challenge from JoAnne Kloppenburg, who earned 917,000 votes or 48 percent of the vote. Closer to home, voters in Burnett County gave the nod to Trump, 1,628 to Cruz’s 1,169 but mimicked the state-wide turnout in the Democratic race with Sanders earning 933 ballots while Clinton earned 917. In the state Supreme Court race, the county agreed with the rest of the voters in the state, giving Bradley the edge over Kloppenburg, 2,501 to 2,081. It should be noted 55 percent of the registered voters in Burnett County cast a ballot in Tuesday’s spring election. In county races, Duane Johnson won a seat on the Burnett County Board of Supervisors with the defeat of Phil Lindeman, 153 votes to 102 votes. In village board elections, Greg Peer, John Dickinsen II and Scott DeRocker were the top three vote-getters for the three open trustee seats. Incumbent Rayna Surdey came in fourth. In Siren and Webster, incumbents ruled the day as Rudy Mothes and Dave Doty earned their way back on the board, garnering 161 and 156 votes respectively. In Webster, Kelsey Gustafson, Greg Widiker and Sarah Casady were returned to office, earning 134, 133 and 112 votes, respectively. Municipal Judge Brian Sears ran unopposed as well and was returned to office winning 158 votes. In the only race amongst local school boards, Webster’s Mark Elliott won another term winning 1.039 votes and will be joined by Katie Smith who received 1,016 votes. Fellow challenger Miki Geisler-Messer finished the race with 766 votes. As in village races, the incumbents ruled the day in both Siren and Grantsburg. In Siren, Rhonda Highstrom and Duane Emery were returned to office with 724 and 608 votes respectively. In Grantsburg, Russ Erickson, Dan Ohnstad, Josh Prusinski and Dave Dahlberg earned 1,110, 1,162, 1,039 and 1,139 votes respectively and will serve another term. All vote totals are unofficial until the vote can be canvassed.

This hands-on workshop will allow participants to see firsthand how mature and young apple trees are pruned and trained for optimum health and fruit production. There is no cost for the pruning workshop; however participants are asked to call and pre-register, as space is limited. The grafting workshop from 6:30-8 p.m. will be held at the Spooner Agriculture Research Station’s public meeting room. In this workshop, participants can learn the art and science of grafting an apple scion twig to an apple rootstock. Each participant will receive three rootstocks and scion wood for a hands-on grafting experience. Registered participants are asked to bring along a pair of leather gloves and a sharp knife (utility or grafting). Enrollment for the grafting workshop is limited to 20 participants and accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. A paid registration is required to reserve a spot. Registration deadline is April 13.

Post election blues So, did you vote? If you’re like me, you faced a lot of indecision when it came to putting that checkmark next to your candidate of choice for the presidential primary. Heck, when I wrote this column last week I still wasn’t sure who I wanted to side with. On the one hand there’s Ted Cruz who wants to shrink the size of the bureaucracy in Washington, D.C. On another hand we have Bernie Sanders who supporters claim is the ‘real deal.’ On a third hand we have Hillary Clinton who says Obamacare is crushing people. Or how about John Kasich? Wait a minute — that’s too many hands! And what about Donald Seems to Trump, you may inquire? Don’t know about you, but I Me feel the need for a shower every I hear him speak. Todd Beckmann time I’m sure it is because of the job, I have but my email inbox is inundated on a daily, almost hourly, or even half-hourly basis — Hillary for America this, DNC that, Russ for Wisconsin this, Mark Pocan HQ that — it never ends. I will give them high marks for persistence — they keep sending this crap whether people want it or not. I wish I could say it’s all over, but with other states having primaries later this month, the Democratic and Republican parties each having their conventions this summer and the lead-up to the general election in November, I‘m afraid it’s far from over — it’s probably just getting started. Of course, there are some who portend it doesn’t really matter. I guess I could see their argument but I don’t agree with them. The beauty of democracy is that you can vote for whomever you choose. In the end it doesn’t really matter whether your candidate wins or loses — what matters is you made the decision to cast a ballot for the candidate of your choice. With that comes the inalienable right to complain about the winner, if it happens to be someone other than who you voted for. There are those pundits who will argue that one man or woman in the Oval Office doesn’t make a difference, as it is the Congress which controls the direction of the country. If that’s the case, your vote in Tuesday’s primary was meaningless and the real focus has to be in November when Wisconsonites go to the polls to cast ballots for their U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives.
Worthy race Ron Aldorfer stopped me the other day on my walk and told me the organizers of the Shamwalk/Run in Siren around St. Patrick’s Day really know what they are doing. Apparently, the winners of each age bracket in the race were each awarded a prize. Ron won the over-70 bracket. “I was thinking it was going to be a pizza or something,” Ron said. But instead, he was awarded an overnight stay at the Lodge at Crooked Lake in Siren. Winning a hotel stay is certainly not the reason why people sign up to run a 5K, but it could well be the reason they come back.

The lost art of childhood I saw a Facebook post recently, written in much better cursive than I was ever able to manage, that said “Someday us old folks will use cursive writing as a secret code.” I had a good chuckle about it and nodded my assent. I may even have “liked” the post. I began thinking about how different my grandchildren’s childhood From the will be from what Publisher’s I experienced, or even their parents’ Desk childhood. When I was a Tom Stangl kid, we played outside because our mothers would kill us if we messed up the house. My wife and I had a hard time getting our children outside when they became teens. Video games, cell phones and the Internet were just coming into wide usage, so we had challenges as parents, but my daughters turned out to be good people. (I am biased.) We didn’t allow our children to have cell phones until they were driving. Our youngest daughter had to suffer for a full year without having the capability to send text
messages. (Yes, I was a neanderthal.) Today, a lot of our lives revolve around screens. If we aren’t working on computers, we are spending time on smartphones, tablets and game consoles. I was speaking with a software developer at a press association meeting earlier this year and he referred to smartphones as “adult pacifiers,” noting that whenever people had to wait they often get their phones out to entertain themselves until the time has passed. I get that, having owned a smartphone for nearly two years. I find it most useful to help me avoid getting lost. But I can only imagine the mischief that a pre-teen or teen can get into with a device that fits in their pocket and gives instantaneous access to a world of information. I believe the wide availability to this technology is another example of how our society has once again failed to keep pace with technology. Teens need to be 16 to legally drive on their own, 18 to vote and sign contracts and 21 to consume alcohol. Cell phones that can take photos and transmit them to others are now given to children before middle school. With their critical thinking and decision making skills not yet fully

developed, children can bully each other, view pornography and meet all sorts of people that they normally wouldn’t have access or any reason to interact with until they were much older. With a few keystrokes or swipes, some life changing bad decisions can be made, bells that can never be unrung. Yes, a case can be made that we live in a global society and the more our children learn about it, it may give them an edge later in life. To me, a just as compelling case can be made for learning how to fish and hunt, how to identify the constellations in the night sky and enjoying the nuances of novels like Watership Down and Harry Potter. Learning how to ride a bike and spend a day entertaining yourself without the benefit of electricity and the Internet will always trump getting the high score on a video game. The cost and benefits of this period in life are only compounded with age. I hope we make the right investments. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875
The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998. The Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time.

To the Editor: Each time I have crossed the St. Croix River during my move to Wisconsin, I look over and smile. Then, “Welcome to Wisconsin.” Out loud, I say, “Thank you,” and sometimes I add, “I’m glad to be here.” Next: “Grantsburg, 4 miles.” I smile again. My new home. This place brings me back, a sense of another time, almost hauntingly so. One can think, ponder, imagine. I’m ten again under the majesty of mature white pines bobbing against the northwest wind. A neighbor stops by to welcome me while I’m surveying the much-needed yardwork of a home vacated for some time. I know about the bears, and I’ve lived in black bear country before. What I didn’t know is my yard is a bear thoroughfare, my new neighbor warns me. Okay, I can handle that. Bird feeder is now hoisted about 16 feet. Is that high enough? It
better be, because that’s as high as this old arm can fling a rubber dog bone, tied to a rope, over a limb. I might be scared of bears. Be mindful. Be smart. Plus, the dogs will warn me, right? On my last trip from Minnesota, I stopped at the chainsaw bear carving guy on Hwy. 70. Incredible work. How can one carve such subtle and varied expression with a tool that can be as cumbersome as a chainsaw is beyond me, an artist of fine line with pen and brush. I wasn’t prepared that day for such a purchase, but I’m going back to get one of Perry’s bears. I figure if I have my own, permanently directing traffic, maybe I won’t feel ten about the bears. Feeling ten is only great sometimes. Just in case, though, will someone tell me when the first ones emerge? L. Dimka Callahan Grantsburg resident as of March 24

The Fremstad family
Anna Olive Fremstad, world famous operatic singer who performed before royalty and many other followers of the opera, was born in 1872 in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1880, she emigrated to America with her parents, settling in Minnesota. Her father, Dr. Ole Fremstad, was a talented musician and band instructor as well as a physician. Her mother, Anna Fremstad, was a qualified midwife. In 1894, the family moved to Grantsburg, where the parents practiced their professions until their deaths. Madam Fremstad died in New York City in 1951. Her ashes were sent to Grantsburg and interred in the family plot in Riverside Cemetery, beside her parents, a brother and two sisters.
The Saturday night bath The Saturday night bath was a weekly event in many homes in the early days. Long before the days of hot and cold running water, the Saturday night bath was a weekly ritual.

As did most “chores,” this meant extra hard work. Water had to be pumped by hand from the well and carried into the house. In our home, the water was heated in the wash boiler on top of the wood stove. Then one of the wash tubs was carried in and placed in front of the open oven door. This was partially filled with cold water and enough warm water to make it a comfortable temperature, at least for the first family member’s bath. Usually the first bather was the youngest member of the family, unless that was a baby. Other family members followed, with our parents bathing last. By that time, we kids were in bed. Depending on the number of family members, the water may have been changed, with used water dumped outdoors, bath water replaced. Finally, the last used water was carried out; the emptied vessels were all carried out to their storage place and order was restored in the kitchen — until next Saturday night.

Teaching reading in Country School I taught Country School in rural Burnett County, starting at age 18. It was the fall after I graduated from high school. I had spent my senior year as a student teacher, learning to take charge of a country school and the students myself. I usually had 45 or more pupils across Grades 1-8. Sometimes I marvel that first graders learned to read. They had very little actual instruction time. The statewide program for rural schools with eight grades allowed 40 minutes of instruction time each day for their three reading classes. Phonics play a big part of the reading instruction. Later in the first year, we added some whole-word recognition for words like “the, and, my, you, are, small, big, and who.” During my rural school teaching years, the reading material for the early grades was built on the theme “All About Dick and Jane.” The kids loved to read the adventures of Dick and Jane. Most were funny. Phonics played a key for young readers learning to “unlock” words. Knowing the sounds of the consonants as well as the different sounds for the vowels was a handy tool for the young readers. Some students got extra help at home from parents or older siblings. Once in a while, a first grader knew how to read when starting school. That gave them a real “head start” to learning. Our country school library had a limited supply of books for early readers, but every class had several students who could master the unlocking of sounds and words, and make their way through the library books in their first year.

GRONLUND: World War II vet to visit memorials in Washington D.C. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
The group will first visit the Iwo Jima Memorial, then drive to the Women’s Memorial at Arlington Cemetery. Next stop will be the Air Force Memorial for a visit and box lunch. They will drive past the Washington Monument and White House on their way to the World War II Memorial, constructed in 2004, where they will attend a flag service and Taps Ceremony. Next stop will be the Korean Memorial for a visit and Taps Ceremony. From there they will walk to the nearby Vietnam Memorial and Lincoln Memorial. The day’s final stop will be at Arlington Cemetery to witness the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After an evening meal they will depart for Minneapolis. “We’ll be singing songs from the 1940s-50s on the way home,” Gene says. “I love to sing, so that will be fun too.” The trip is provided free of charge to the veterans, in honor of their wartime service to their country. The guardians who accompany the vets each donate $500 toward expenses. On Gene’s flight, 71 are WWII vets and six are Korean Conflict vets. They had a chance to meet one another last Sunday at a pre-flight gathering in Roseville and to hear the Honor Flight story as told by its founder. The Honor Flight is a challenging day for any person, let alone veterans who
are mostly in their 80s or 90s. The flight leaves Minneapolis/St. Paul airport at 6 a.m. and returns at about 10:30 p.m. the same day. While in D.C., they will get on and off the bus seven times and do a fair amount of walking. Gene had to submit a medical form attesting he was fit enough to make the trip. It wasn’t a problem for him, as he starts every day with 50 push-ups. Next, he does 50 arm curls with his two 15-pound weights, then lifts them 50 times over his head. “It’s not hard when you do it every day,” he said. When weather allows, he also walks one mile per day, often accompanied by his wife, Marilyn. Janet, of Taylors Falls, Minn., and Gene have been looking forward to the D.C. memorials trip since they applied for it about a year ago. The organization says its waiting list is long and growing. Born Aug. 9, 1925 in Falun, Gene is a lifelong resident of Burnett County. Gene started first grade as a very young five-year-old attending the oneroom Mudhen Lake School. He finished eight grade at the Falun School and then graduated from Grantsburg High School in 1942, at age 16. Gene was ready to “join up” for WWII military service right away and follow his two older brothers into the military, but his mother felt otherwise. He needed her signature, as he was under age 18. “She wouldn’t sign for me,” Gene recalls, “because my two older brothers
were already serving,” he said. Carl was with the Army and Lynn with the Army Air Force, both in the South Pacific region. When he turned 18 he signed up immediately and was on his way to Navy training at Great Lakes in Chicago. He was assigned to become a medical corpsman and received training as Pharmacist’s Mate, Second Class. His first posting was to the Navy Hospital in Chelsea, MA. When they learned he could type well, he was assigned to the office and spent the balance of his three-year military service in offices. “That high school typing class may have saved my life,” he says. Soon he was off to South Pacific assignments, usually at a Naval hospital. In the New Hebrides Islands, the hospital also has warehouses full of medical supplies to outfit the fleets and their hospital ships that were hitting the beaches, Gene remembers. After the war, he returned to Falun, bought his step-dad’s school bus and took over the route between Falun and Grantsburg High School. While driving the school bus, a young lady named Marilyn Peterson caught his eye. Later, she began working in the Carlson and Johnson Grocery Store where he was employed, and the sparks of romance were ignited. They were married in 1951 at the English Lutheran Church in Grantsburg.
Gene owned and operated the Gambles Hardware Store in Falun for 12 years, then sold it and purchased the Texaco fuels franchise in Grantsburg. He and his hired man in a second truck delivered fuel oil to homes and farms and gasoline to about a half dozen gas stations in the area. It was a successful business, allowing Gene to retire at age 55 in 1980, and taking on small jobs to keep busy. Many will remember him wearing his stars-and-stripes Uncle Sam outfit with top hat while walking atop stilts that added another two feet to his 6’2” frame. He was a feature in many parades until Marilyn insisted that he give it up, at age 87. “When I would walk into the gymnasium, they would have the little ones seated on the floor, and I was about 9 feet tall, he laughs. “I loved to see the look on their faces when I walked over to the basketball hoop and dropped the ball through,” he said. He still fits into his WWII Navy cap and pea coat. Gene is grateful for the trip to D.C., and for the opportunity to pay tribute to his fallen comrades. “It is interesting that Vietnam Veterans are among the sponsors,” Marilyn says, “especially when you think of the negative reception many of them received when they returned home from that war,” she says. “They want to be sure that all veterans are appreciated.”

Outdoor retreat grand opening slated for June BY SHELLEY NELSON SUPERIOR TELEGRAM
SUPERIOR— Over the last few years, volunteers have been hard at work turning a 14-acre parcel of land in Dairyland from a wooded area to a retreat where veterans can relax in the outdoors. They’ve managed to get a well in, cleared land and moved a lot of dirt, constructed a pavilion, and shower and storage building, developed 12 recreational vehicle sites, and even erected a flagpole, donated in honor of fallen Marine Sgt. Chad Allen. His parents, Steve and Deb Allen, lived in Dairyland when he was killed in Iraq in 2007. But there’s more work to be done. Now four organizations that support veterans are coming together to help. The Superior Elks Lodge 403 in cooperation with the American Legion Richard I. Bong Post 435, Submarine Veterans Western Superior Base and the Retired Enlisted Association Superior Chapter 119 are hosting a spaghetti dinner fundraiser April 8 to help pay for construction costs. The dinner runs 5-8 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 1503 Belknap St. “The union plumbers are coming down,� said Rod Wilson, director of the Dairyland Outdoor Veterans Retreat on County Road TT at the Radigan Dam waterway. “We’ve had so much luck with the unions up here. The union carpenters built this,� he said, pointing to a photograph of the shower house and storage building on the site. “We sided it, but they built it and roofed it up. “We’ve got 12 RV sites ready to go for the May 7 fishing opener. Our grand opening is June 3-4, and everyone who knows about this is invited.� The retreat is a nonprofit campground serving veterans, but the project has a
way to go, Wilson said. “It’s approved for seven cabins and 25 trailer sites,� Wilson said, which haven’t been built yet. Wilson said the organization has been applying for grants, and five years into the project they are discovering that’s what it takes to get attention from grantors. “They don’t want any fly-by-nighters,� Wilson said. He said the organization has applied for a $700,000 grant through Anderson Windows, as well as others in the ongoing effort to build a retreat where veterans can enjoy the outdoors in northern Wisconsin. And helping the retreat reach its goal inspired the organizations to come together to raise money for the project. “I guess it started with the Elks,� said member Troy Magnuson. “We tried to get as many organizations involved as possible so we’d get the word out and get more people involved. We’re all trying to help veterans out so why not do one big project.� The dinner includes the usual fair — spaghetti, garlic bread sticks and all the fixings. In addition, there will be two raffles with drawings to take place at a later date, three 50/50 drawings and a silent auction with proceeds going to the Dairyland Outdoor Veterans Retreat “It’s for veterans,� said Butch Liebaert of the Retired Enlisted Association. “We give all our money away one way or another,� said Dennis Bee of the American Legion Richard I. Bong Post 435. He said they’ve been looking for new ways to help veterans because some ideas haven’t worked as well as others. However, they have found success when it comes to helping other veterans. “We always donate to the veterans home up on the shore (the veterans home in Silver Bay, Minn.), and they are

always very appreciative,� Bee said. So when the opportunity to help the veterans retreat presented itself, they decided to get involved. Magnuson said they also got the Submarine Veterans involved, which includes about 30 members in the area. “It’s something different for the organization,� Magnuson said. Wilson said in addition to grant-writing and the fundraiser next week — and donations and in-kind contributions from nearly 70 organizations throughout northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, the retreat is selling pavers to memorialize veterans in a planned memorial garden. “Donations will be accepted,� Magnuson said. “The goal is to see what we can
get. There’s still a lot of projects.� Wilson said the idea for the retreat started with a discussion with two new cabin owners — one with the American Legion and one with the VFW from New Richmond. During that conversation, he said they decided they had to do something for the veterans. With a land donation from the county, and Dairyland Town Board approval, and a small number of early volunteers and the nine-member board got the ball rolling. “The whole purpose of all these groups is to help veterans,� Magnuson said. “It’s progressing,� Wilson said.

Safety of ‘sinking’ field called into question • Siren School Board has more questions than answers. BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL
SIREN—The Siren Dragons may feel like they’ve got an uphill battle on their hands when the football team returns to the gridiron in August — they don’t need a sinking field to make matters worse. That was the conundrum when the Siren School Board met last week. Unfortunately, what they have now is a list of unanswered questions — Is it safe? Is it repairable? Should it be condemned? Do we contract with another school to host our home games? And the list goes on. At issue is the fact the current Siren football field was built on a former wetland area. According to School Board President Peggy Moore, the trees growing where the field is now were bulldozed, and the field was built on those stumps. Combined with the existing water, those stumps are deteriorating and thus the field is sinking. In fact, football officials would not allow football players to take the field twice last season until “dangerous” ruts and holes were filled in. That led Kevin Shetler’s declaration last Monday night. “I don’t think it’s safe to play on,” the district administrator told the board. “I don’t think we can play here during the 2016-17 season.” But that may have been putting the cart before the horse. “We have to determine whether it can be repaired, or should it be condemned?” Moore clarified. At least one member was in favor of the latter.
“I say we condemn it now,” Duane Emery said. “We need to start moving on this. If we condemn it now, we can start collecting donations for whatever field we end up with.”
‘I say we condemn it now.’ Duane Emery Siren School Board member
But Shetler thought that was jumping the gun. “We need to assess the field we have,” he said. “And then if we have to, figure out where to play our home games this fall.” But that led to more questions. “We need to know if it is safe this year — and we need to know who determines that,” Moore pointed out. “Above all else, we need to determine what our options are going forward.” To that end, the board’s grounds committee will be meeting on April 18 to hopefully get some of these questions answered and to develop a time table on possible actions. In other business: • Shetler and some of the board will be meeting with Webster superintendent Jim Erickson and some of that district’s school board in an effort to straighten out busing routes along Highway 70, the former division line between the districts. “There are three or four properties, near Polansky Road, who assumed they were in the Siren district when in fact they are in the Webster district,” Moore stated. “They requested re-districting, but I think we just want to move those properties back into the Siren district.”
• Siren will be offering a threeweek summer school come June, but will be doing so without the benefit of busing. “I think busing would make a huge difference in our numbers,” member Rhonda Highstrom mentioned. Moore agreed. “It’s not in the budget for this year, but I think it could be worthwhile to look into it for the summer of 2017,” she said. Heather O’Brien is the coordinator of the June 13-July 1 session. The days are scheduled from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. with both breakfast and lunch being served. Middle and high schoolers will be concentrating on credit recovery and remediation, while elementary students will have classwork mixed with enrichment classes. • High School Principal Jason Hinze reported only about 60 percent of parents attend high school conferences. “We need to contact that other 40 percent somehow,” member Mark Pettis voiced. “We can’t expect students to excel if the parents don’t take an interest.” • The board approved the 2016-17 school calendar, which features the first day of school on Sept. 1 and graduation on May 19, 2017. “We talked with a lot of parents of next year’s seniors to get their input on that graduation date,” Moore explained. • Shetler praised band instructor Bryn Anderson, a Kohl Fellowship Award winner, for excellence in education. She won $3,000 for herself and another $3,000 for the school. “Bryn has said she wants that money to go back into the music program,” Hinze noted.

Topping the list was the ongoing work to the football field and track. “Last fall, the last two home games of the football playoffs were moved to other locations because our field was muddy and would not drain properly,� Superintendnet Joni Burgin wrote in a facility report update she shared with board members. The board is undertaking efforts to improve the field this spring and summer. “We want to improve the soils by adding coarse sand and creating a better drainage system, using tiling, and to repair both the low spots on the field,� Burgin continued.

At the same time, Burgin said the board will be making upgrades to the existing track. “The 6-lane track was designed and built in 1999 — so the asphalt has shrunk with age, has gotten hard and is prone to cracking,� she commented. “The goal is to repair the base, add two additional lanes and add a rubberized surface.� Plus, some additional fencing and bleacher work to accommodate the changes. The $200,000 project is being planned in two phases, with phase one as construction of all components. Phase two includes top dressing the field. The board will advertise for bids in April and will award the bid at the May 9 board meeting. According to Burgin, construction is planned from May to August with June 20 the completion deadline for the tiling and irrigation system, August 1 as the deadline for the new asphalt, additional

Reach out and read GRANTSBURG—Clinic providers at Burnett Medical Center are sending families home from checkups with free books and a very important prescription — “read aloud with your children.” Friday, Senator Sheila Harsdorf visited the health center, not only to cheer them on, but to practice what doctors preach by reading to a group of young patients. Burnett Medical Center participates in Reach Out and Read, a program that prepares America’s youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with medical providers to prescribe books and to encourage families to read together. Medical professionals incorporate Reach Out and Read’s evidence-based model into regular pediatric checkups, by advising parents about the importance of reading aloud and giving developmentally-appropriate books to children. Through Reach Out and Read, each child starts kindergarten with a home library of up to 10 books. The program begins at the 6-month check-
up and continues through age 5, with a special emphasis on children growing up in low-income communities. Reach Out and Read Wisconsin medical director, Dipesh Navsaria, MPH, MSLIS, MD, emphasizes the importance of books by saying, “walking into a well-child exam without a book for that child is like walking in without my stethoscope.” The Reach Out and Read model has gained broad bipartisan support in the United States Congress, is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians, and has one of the strongest records of research support of any psychosocial intervention in primary care pediatrics. Burnett Medical Center is one of 164 programs in Wisconsin that participate in Reach Out and Read, providing books to more than 57,000 children annually. Nationally, Reach Out and Read facilitates the distribution of more than 6.5 million books to more than 4 million children and their families annually.

‘Marathon Man’ to speak in Webster
WEBSTER—Call him “Marathon Man.” Jim Anderson will speak about running marathons in all 50 states at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 14 at Larsen Family Public Library in Webster, to help celebrate Library Week. Jim Anderson of Cable is an author and member of the 50 States Marathon Club. A retired teacher living in Cable, WI, Jim did not start out running marathons. While a high school junior, he contracted spinal meningitis and was told that running would not be a part of his future. Not one to give up, he decided to try cross-country skiing. He first skied the American Birkebeiner in 1977 and has not missed a race since. He is nothing if not persistent. In 1982, Jim decided that if he could ski, he could also run. Although he had completed it many times previously, the first marathon on his “official” 50 State Marathon list is Grandma’s (Duluth), June, 1993. However, it wasn’t until a few years later, after being told he was too old, that he decided to run a marathon in all 50 states. His quest ended with the Maui Marathon in Lahaina, Hawaii, on Sept. 21, 2014. He credits his success to his competitive spirit, his perseverance and his wife, Denise. He says “Denise never had to persuade me to keep after the goal, but she did have to help keep me from being too critical of myself for not doing well enough in some of the marathons.” Jim chronicles the marathons in his book, Discovering America One Marathon at a Time. The book is more than the mechanics of running a marathon. It is also the story of

each place, its history and people. It is this that captivates the reader. He brings a fresh and distinctive perspective to each setting. For Jim, 50 marathons in 50 states is not enough. “I’m already starting on my next goal of running the provinces and territories of Canada,” he said. “I’ve completed Thunder Bay, Ontario and Winnipeg, Manitoba. I’m also looking at The Great Wall of China Marathon to start the continents.”

State Superintendent Tony Evers (third from right) congratulated Siren School District for being among 169 schools in the state that received Wisconsin Title I School of Recognition honors for the 2015-16 school year during a special March 14 ceremony at the State Capitol in Madison. Evers welcomed (from left) Duane Emery, Rick Larson, Dr. Kevin Shetler, Becky Wicklund, and Karen Johnson, to the recognition event. “These awards recognize the work of students and their parents along with teachers, school administrators, and school staff members to break the link between poverty and low academic achievement. These efforts will help us ensure that every student graduates college and is career-ready,” Evers said.

Seeing the capitol MADISON— The Siren fourth graders took their annual field trip to Madison on Friday, March 18. While in Madison, they visited the Wisconsin Historical Museum and the Wisconsin State Capitol. This is a great field trip for the students, as they are able to experience being visitors in another community, as well as learning about and seeing their state’s capitol in person. For the fifth year in a row, they took a coach bus courtesy of the St. Croix Tribe. The students and staff would like to extend great gratitude to them for the donation and support! The trip is a memory that the students will have for a lifetime. When we wrote about our day, the students had some great things to say, including:“I saw a starfish fossil that was over a hundred million years old.” “When you look at the dome, it’s like you are looking into the heavens.” “I liked the fur trade part at the museum the most.” “The guide told us that little people, like leprechauns, knock on rocks to know where the lead is.” “I learned that the Civil War camp was where the Wisconsin Badgers football stadium is.” “I thank the school for who gave us the money to eat and see all the beautiful stuff. I also thank the Tribe for the bus.” “My favorite part was I saw real gold in the Capitol.” “The ride was my favorite because we got to ride in a coach bus,” and “I was so tired when we got home, I didn’t even change into my pajamas!” According to 4th grade teacher Tina Karsten, “It was a great day and we all had fun.”

Tigers sweep New Lisbon
Siren enters season with stand-alone baseball team
BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS
MAUSTON—The Webster Tigers baseball team traveled to Woodside Sports Complex in Mauston this past weekend. “Unfortunately the weather wasn’t cooperative and our games for Saturday had to be canceled due to snow covered fields,” reported coach Jarrod Washburn. “We were however able to play a varsity doubleheader vs. New Lisbon on Friday evening as well as some valuable innings for our JV squad with a scrimmage vs. Hillsboro.” Webster took the first game 9-8 and the second game 14-4. “Game 1 of the doubleheader had the Tigers digging ourselves an early four run hole after just one inning of play. Fortunately we were able to collect ourselves and fight back for an exciting extra inning 9-8 win.” “Jack Washburn got the start on the mound and after a rough first inning settled down for a strong 4 1/3 with six strikeouts. Trevor Gustafson came in to finish the game throwing 3 2/3 solid innings and picked up his first career varsity win.” “The Tigers were led offensively by Austin Spafford, Trevor Gustafson, Jack Washburn and Trenton Wols all with two hits a piece. Washburn got the biggest one with a game winning RBI double in the eighth.” “In game two, the Tigers bats came alive right from the start to go along with some excellent pitching for a 14-4 victory.

got the start and didn’t disappoint, taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning. He finished with four innings pitched, allowing only one hit and three walks to go along with seven strikeouts to earn his first career varsity win.” “Caleb Pardun finished the game in relief with a very good inning striking out two.” “The bats were hot as every kid in the lineup had at least one hit. Trevor Gustafson led the way with
three, followed by Austin Spafford, Taran Wols and Paul Sargent each getting two. Spafford also collected five RBI’s on the night including a huge bases loaded triple.” “Overall I am very happy to the start of the season for our team. We were able to do many positive things as well as find out what we need to improve upon if we want to compete in the conference. We are looking forward to an exciting season,” concluded Coach Washburn.
Reviewing hoops changes — quarters to halves BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL SPORTS
BURNETT COUNTY—The implementation of two halves of a high school basketball game instead of four quarters was approved as a one-year trial by the WIAA for the 2015-16 season. With the Basketball Coaches Advisory Committee set to vote on extending the switch this week, area coaches offered their insight on the change. “Overall I am happy with the change — I think playing halves gives more flow to a basketball game,” Rob Scherrer, Webster boys coach, remarked. “With quarters, the last minute of each quarter usually had a team hold the ball for a last shot — I thought it ruined the continuity that we have now with halves.” In fact, Scherrer hits on a key reason for the trial. “The idea to move toward halves was in part to address the continued requests to implement a shot clock,” Deb Hauser, WIAA,
explained. “By eliminating the breaks between the 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 4th quarters, there are two less times when the ball might be held at the end of a quarter.” Webster girls varsity coach Mat Wood agreed with that reasoning. “I think the halves make the basketball game flow better than it did with quarters,” he observed. “Instead of a team holding the ball for the last second shot during the last minute of each quarter, you only get one planned break — so the players can get into the game. The change may have had the biggest impact on the coaches rather than the players. “Initially it was very difficult to switch to halves, the team basically lost two time outs at the quarter breaks, forcing coaches to better utilize our time outs,” Penny Curtin, Grantsburg girls coach pointed out. “However, as the season progressed, I found that I prefer the Grantsburg’s Jordan Knutson

SIREN—Not having its own team for eight years and the move of the high school baseball season from summer to spring are two of the biggest challenges the Siren Dragons face as the team looks to the 2016 season. “Our biggest challenge is getting numbers back,” head coach Jon Ruud admitted. “We’re just trying to get enough kids out to field a team, get kids excited about baseball and to get better every day.” And that’s not hyperbole. Last week’s practice saw 11 kids performing warm ups and throwing drills, and it obviously takes nine to field a team. “It’s scary because there are four or five freshmen and they are going to start varsity,” the coach pointed out. Ruud hopes to see a bigger rebound in numbers as the season progresses. “We had really good numbers five or six years ago in our summer recreation program,” he noted. “Those numbers have dropped — but I hope once we’re on the field, kids will want to join the team.” Regardless, the team is moving into the season. “Our stance is it is really exciting to get our younger kids playing baseball again in Siren,” Ruud declared. Having said that, the coach acknowledges that youth may be a downfall Jon Ruud for the team. “We’re young and inexperienced but we’re going to try and play the game the right way —and we’re going to have a lot of fun doing it,” he added. “It’ll be tough to be competitive but hopefully they are better at the end of the season than they are now.” A quick glance at Ruud’s roster will reveal that some have already served under his tutelage. “The neat thing about coaching in a small town is I have these kids in class, I get to coach a lot of them and really get to know them,” he remarked. “I’m lucky I get to coach some of these kids again — especially the seniors we have on the team.” He counts himself as lucky to be coaching the sport. “The kids out for baseball are all great kids and they like the game,” Ruud said. It may be hard for some to picture Ruud as a baseball coach — after all, he has coached so much basketball, folks could call him “Coach Hoops.” “I played baseball in college and both Brian (assistant coach Brian Webster) and I have spent a lot of time with the younger kids in the baseball program,” he explained. “It’s just time to get the sport going again.” The Dragons, who begin their season April 11 (weather permitting), will play their home games at the Siren Ball Field.

halves — it gives a little extra time and helps the flow of the game.” Wood agreed. “I enjoyed many aspects of the halves, however it did take a little bit of time to get used to coaching with them, like when to use timeouts, when to sub, and how to sub,” the coach noted. “With only one break and the extra four minutes, teams needed to be deeper and in better shape and needed to be able to perform when fatigued.” Fellow coach Scherrer shares that point of view. “Two half basketball creates more game time decisions for coaches and an opportunity for coaching to have an impact on the game,” he said. “However, it puts an extra pressure on small schools to have a large enough varsity roster to handle foul trouble early in the first half.” Mike Amundson, Grantsburg Athletic Director, agreed. “As the season went on and the coaches and players became more accustom to the flow of the game and the need for earlier use of the bench players — the results were greater levels of play throughout the entire game.” Getting more kids into the game was a big reason for the one-year trial. “Those opposed feel that teams with small numbers are put in a tough spot to play a full 18 -minute half,” Hauser reported. “I believe, with time, we will see more kids out for basketball at the varsity level as more kids will get the chance to play. Helping the flow of the game was another big reason for the trial. “As far as

the flow of the game and game management I believe it was a success and served it’s purpose,” Amundson opined. “We were fortunate enough to have quality players to step in off of the bench — limited numbers could have had a greater impact in the quality of play.” Hauser said she has heard comments on both sides of the argument. “Those in favor of playing in halves like that more players are needed and that the flow of the game seems to be much better without the breaks between quarters,” she said. Some coaches barely gave the change much thought. “To be honest with you, the adjustment wasn’t what most maybe think,” Nick Hallberg, Grantsburg boys coach, indicated. “I didn’t feel like it impacted a whole lot, other than using an extra timeout somewhere around the 10-minute mark to regroup or give our guys a break.” Overall, the coaches seem to approve of the switch but that may change with Wednesday’s vote. “I hope the WIAA can pick one format and stick with it so we as coaches can plan around it,” Wood commented. Hallberg is on the same page. “I personally like the switch and hope they continue with this format,” he remarked. But that decision may not be so cutand-dry. “I have heard that universities are going back to quarters,” Curtin voiced. “This could throw an interesting wrench back into the issue.”

Bronx is a one-year-old German Shepard mix. He’s a big boy with lots of energy, but behaved better than I expected when I was up close and personal with him in his kennel. Bronx kept wanting to jump up on me, but was gentle about it. He knows the sit command and seems like he would be pretty easy to train. While I was there, Bronx one of our volu nteers took Bronx out for a walk. While he was a little too eager at the starting gate (going out the door), she said he calmed down and Cadbury walked well on his leash. Bronx also loves to play fetch. He gets the ball back to you in the general area, but needs a little work on releasing the ball directly to you. Bronx is a happy boy, but he’d be much happier in a furever home. Cadbury is a little black kitten that seems like an old soul in a young body. During my visit with her, she was calm, cool, and relaxed. Cadbury loved to be held and snuggled. She didn’t care for the antics of little Calvin (a wee orange and white tabby kitten) when they were both let loose in the office. Although they both seemed about the same age, Calvin was a little spitfire, while Cadbury just wanted to observe and be left alone. Cadbury gave a little warning hiss when Calvin looked like he was ready to pounce, and Calvin stopped in his tracks. Before I left, they seemed to be getting more used to each other. They were really fun to watch. I think, with more time together, they’d become fast friends. Good news! Mistletoe, the senior cat that we featured before has been adopted. This girl came to use with severe burns on the bottom of her paws. With her age and her medical issues, we weren’t quite sure she’d survive. Mistletoe was resilient and had such a sweet disposition. You’d never know she was suffering as she played happy paws on your lap. Fingers crossed that Mistletoe and the other cat in the household get along! It may take a little time. Upcoming Events: Mark your calendars for our Annual Spaghetti Dinner at 4 -7 p.m. Saturday, April 30. The annual plant sale 11-2 p.m. on Saturday, May 28. For more info, go to our website!

SIREN— This year’s overwinter bees produced sounds of happiness, disappointment and hope to carry on at the Northland Beekeepers club in their first meeting of the year Thursday night. With the coming of spring, the news from local hives reported more than half of the club members experienced heavy colony losses, even after a fairly mild winter. One club member said one of his hives just “vanished” in January. Bees vacating a hive in the dead of winter is a troubling sign. But even with apiary mysteries, club members new and old are gearing up for another round for this honey season. The bees are already bringing in pussy willow pollen. And new package bees and equipment are on order, with local retailers getting into the business. The Burnett Dairy Cooperative in Alpha is selling only bee supplies. But Blain’s Farm and Fleet in Rice Lake is selling actual bees and the
supplies. This year a 3-pound package of bees with a queen was $129.99. Longtime beekeeper and club member Paul Ekblad, 87, said when he started beekeeping during the Truman Administration in 1946 a package of bees was $5. The worries over deadly varroa mites and Colony Collapse Disorder, which are known to devastate bee colonies, were raised. And thus the debate of using chemical treatment versus organic practices to combat these adversaries was debated. The federal government is also concerned over the loss of bees. “Honey bee pollination alone adds more than $15 billion in value to agricultural crops each year in the United States,” said President Obama in an executive memorandum. “Scientists believe that bee losses are likely caused by a combination of stressors, including poor bee nutrition, loss of forage lands, parasites, pathogens, lack of genetic diversity, and exposure to pes-

ticides,” the memorandum stated. A federal Pollinator Health Task Force has been developed to determine the loss of bees. The honey bee is nature’s greatest pollinator and friend to agriculture. The Northland Beekeepers meet every first Monday of the month at the Burnett County Government Center
in Siren at 7 p.m. There is no cost and all are welcome. For more information contact Vicki and Gary Schaaf at 715866-7817. The Polk Burnett Beekeepers Association meets every third Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Polk County Justice Center in Balsam Lake.
Quick tips to help homeowners avoid potential bear conflicts MADISON – As bears throughout Wisconsin have begun to emerge from their dens, homeowners are encouraged to take precautions to avoid potential conflicts with hungry bears. Black bears normally avoid contact with people. But, when food sources are available, bears can quickly learn to associate humans with food. “Many of these conflicts occur as a result of some type of attractant, especially bird feeders, garbage cans, grills, uncontained compost or pet food left outside and accessible” said Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Natural Resources Wildlife Damage Specialist Brad Koele. It is especially important to remove these attractants during the spring, when bears are emerging from dens and looking to restore depleted energy reserves when natural foods are limited, says Koele. It is illegal to intentionally feed bears in Wisconsin, but it is also important for homeowners to make sure they do not unintentionally feed bears via a food source near their home. If a bear finds food such as bird feed or garbage near
your home, it will likely return. Visits may stop when food is no longer available. Bears will periodically check sites where food was once available, so it may take several days to weeks before a bear will quit visiting a site once the food source has been removed. “If a bear is near your home, wave your arms and make noise to scare it away. “Back away slowly and seek a safe location where you can wait for the bear to leave. “When scaring a bear away, make sure it has a clear escape route. Never corner a
bear,” said Koele. “If you encounter a bear while in the woods, stay calm and do not approach the bear. “Never approach a sow with cubs, and do not attempt to break-up a fight between your pet and a bear,” he adds. The DNR partners with U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services to respond to approximately 800 bear-related complaints reported in Wisconsin each year. Homeowners who are unable to resolve a conflict with a bear should contact the USDA Wildlife Services tollfree line at 1-800-228-1368.

Our conďŹ dence is in God How many of you voted yesterday? Did your candidates win? Many of you are excited and hopeful and many are discouraged with the results. Some like me are troubled with the whole political process. It is good to be reminded of a few facts. First, God is in control. He establishes governing authorities. We need to do our part as good citizens and vote but ultimately God is in control. Romans 13:1 ‘ Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities for there is no author-
ity except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.’ We may wonder why God allows certain people to lead ( a topic for another day) but bottom line, God is still in control. Second, our confidence is not in a candidate, a party, or the political system but in God. Psalm 20:7 “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.� And Psalm 118:9 “It
is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.� Our confidence is in the God who made the heavens and the earth (Jeremiah 32:17), the God who loves us, who is our strength and shield, the God who did not spare His own Son but freely gave him up for us all. Our confidence is in God, the Father and in his Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
