WET BASEMENTS: Village claims ‘it’s not our problem.’ P2

McKenzie Landing suspect remains in jail SIREN—Unwilling or unable to post a $10,000 cash bond, a Pepin man remains incarcerated in the Burnett County Jail as of Wednesday afternoon following his bond hearing earlier in the day.

According to court documents, Allen Gene Thomas, 53, who was arrested last week as a suspect in the McKenzie Landing stabbing on July 3, has an initial appearance in Burnett County Circuit Court scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday, July 27.

According to authorities, Thomas was taken into custody last week pursuant to an arrest warrant. Thomas is alleged to have attacked a 54-year-old man and a 60-year-old man with an edged-weapon during this incident; causing a slash wound to each of the victim’s necks.

Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine has charged Thomas with two counts of Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide and two counts of Aggravated Battery following the altercation which sent the two men to the hospital with serious injuries. Both victims have since been released from the hospital and are recovering at home.

In addition to the cash bond, Thomas was also ordered to post a $100,000 signature bond for release, is not to use or possess dangerous weapons, including knives, is to have no contact with either of his victims or McKenzie Landing.

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

Alleged Siren shooter jailed

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—Details are difficult to come by, but a suspect is in jail after allegedly shooting a man in the leg in Siren about 5:20 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

The suspect, Jack Garcia, 42, was arrested and jailed about 8:20 p.m. the same evening.

“I’m reviewing all of the reports and trying to talk with each of the witnesses,” a harried Chris Sybers, Siren Chief of Police, said of the incident.

The 35-year-old victim, who was flown by North Memorial Air Care to North Memorial Hospital in the Twin Cities, is recovering from his wound.

High water, as evidenced here on the Riverside Bridge over the St. Croix River, closed landings on the river.

Torrential rains close river landings

BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

DANBURY—The St. Croix River is receding from the nine-plus inches of rain which fell last Monday night and into Tuesday morning— about a foot each day, but it isn’t nearly quick enough for the two Burnett County businesses which depend on the river for their livelihood.

“This is prime time on the river for us,” Jerry Dorff, owner of Wild River Outfitter’s in Grantsburg, exclaimed. “It’s such a short season for us, I don’t know if we can bounce back.”

Pardun’s Canoe and Kayak Rental in Danbury is in the same boat — literally.

“It has affected us quite drastically — we really took it on the nose,” Jerry Pardun, founder of the business, added. “We are totally at the mercy of the weather.”

Both businesses, even though they got the official word from the National Park Service (NPS) regarding the closure of the landings on Wednesday (July 13), stopped sending customers out on Tuesday.

“The river was already super high on Tuesday and we were hesitant to do it, but we put our last peo-

ple out about 9 a.m. that morning,” Dorff commented. “We had three other parties out on the river, we texted them, told them to get to a landing, to let us know where they ended up, and we would pick them up.”

Dorff said they had all of their

river-bound customers accounted for by Wednesday.

Pardun said their final canoeists and kayakers had the ride of their lives on Tuesday.

“We couldn’t clock it, but they had incredible speed on the river,” he remarked. “They just floated above all the obstacles on their way back.”

At its height, the water level is estimated to have measured 16 to 17 feet on the St. Croix River bridge west of Grantsburg.

“Normal for this time of year is between three and a half to four feet,” Dorff pointed out. “Last week the water was considerably deeper than that and fast — it was just raging.”

With the river dropping, Wild River Outfitter’s is hopeful they can start putting people back on the river by Friday.

“Even though the NPS may not have officially opened the landings, we are hoping the river is at an acceptable level that we feel safe putting people on the river,” Dorff continued.

Pardun agreed.

Rain wreaks havoc

Southside residents ask board’s help to solve rising water

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—Four Grantsburg residents whose South Pine Street properties are being affected by rising water asked the Grantsburg Village Board last week to help them fix groundwater drainage problems that are making the east part of their yards too wet to mow.

One claims the rising water has so saturated his land that it “bounces” under the weight of a truck. They all say the water has damaged, or is threatening to damage, their homes and outbuildings.

The four speakers were Gladys Becvar, who now resides on the north side; her son Frank Becvar, who lives in the South Pine home where he grew up and which he bought from his parents; his next-door neighbor Laurie Lang Briggs; and Paul Johnson from across the street.

The four said they were also speaking on behalf of homeowners on both sides of Pine Street, and informally for the veterinary office and the fairgrounds, too. The owners whose properties have basements say the basements are wet, or are kept from flooding by sump pumps that run year-round.

“Whoever heard of sump pumps running in January?

All along Pine Street, ours do,” Frank Becvar said.

They claim groundwater from a field behind their homes is not draining properly; that the natural waterway has been disrupted; that a culvert under State Highway 70 that would drain the area has been blocked; and that a holding pond created to hold excess water is inadequate and not properly maintained.

AFFECTS BOTH SIDES OF PINE STREET The land in question is a field behind all six homes on the east side of South Pine Street, south of Highway 70.

The parcel is owned by Karl and Becky Anderson. The north end of the Anderson property adjoins Highway 70, and includes the site where Dollar General received approval from the village board last April to build a store.

The homeowners say the groundwater drainage problem needs to be resolved before the store is built because the area where the proposed store would sit is in the natural waterway and could worsen the drainage problem.

Some homes on the other side of south Pine Street – the west side – also have wet basements or steadily-running sump pumps. Gladys Becvar said a ranch-style home on Pine Street’s west side was recently foreclosed and sold for only $20,000 “because of a wet basement.”

Paul Johnson said the water problem affects homes on both sides of Pine Street. Johnson, who lives across from the fairgrounds, said he and neighboring homeowners on the west side of Pine also have drainage problems.

Their properties are drained by a culvert that runs eastward under Pine Street, just north of Frank Becvar’s home, and then into the Anderson property behind the six homes on the east side.

Frank Becvar, Laurie Briggs and Paul Johnson all grew up where they now live, and say the land has never been as wet as it is today.

NATURAL WATERWAY Survey maps show the natural waterway flows from south to north through the Anderson property toward Wood River. For many years, the Becvar’s say, the land was drained by a culvert that took the water under State Highway 70 and into a natural waterway north of the Baptist Church that joins the Wood River.

Gladys Becvar said the drainage problems have been worsening since about 1991, when the property contain-

South Pine Street neighbors (standing, from left Frank Becvar, Laurie Briggs, Gladys Becvar and Paul Johnson) asked the Grantsburg Village Board last week to help them solve the problem of wet yards and basements due to high ground water. So far, the board has resisted getting involved.

ing the waterway was sold for development and the new owner starting adding fill on the land beside the highway to raise the ground as a potential business site.

She added that around 1969, during repairs on Highway 70, the culvert under Hwy 70 was blocked and a holding pond was added on the Anderson property as a solution. Frank Becvar said the holding pond is no longer effective because it has been filling up with cattails and grasses, and getting more shallow.

VILLAGE: NOT OUR PROBLEM The village’s position on the holding pond was they approved the construction, but that it belongs to the land owner.

The water drainage issue was previously discussed at a June meeting of the village’s property committee.

At that meeting, the village’s engineer from SEH Engineering in Rice Lake told the committee that the waterway is working according to specifications, as it was designed many years ago.

The board directed the engineer to send a letter to the homeowners stating the board’s position, indicating the village board does not plan to do any work on the matter. In other words, if the landowers have a water problem, it’s their problem.

Village Board Vice Chair Greg Peer, running Monday’s meeting, said he recognized that the homeowners do have a water problem, but made no promises to the property owners.

Frank Becvar said, “This water issue has been getting worse for 20 years, so we don’t expect it to be resolved overnight.”

Gladys Becvar concluded by urging the board to help the homeowners solve the issue. She also thanked the board members for their service to the community, and acknowledged it can be “a thankless job.”

She also asked Peer to put the matter on the agenda again for the August meeting, which Peer agreed to do.

Frank Becvar said afterward, “it appears we are going to have to get an attorney.”

SIREN—The drama has receded nearly as quickly as the flood waters, but for a few days last week, water and its impact, was on everyone’s mind.

The week began when, depending on where you live, up to nine inches of rain fell in a 24-hour period between Monday and Tuesday, and were accompanied by strong winds.

Reports of a tornado touchdown were greatly exaggerated, but residents and work crews alike were dealing with downed limbs amidst standing water in every low-lying area in the county.

Even during the county’s infrastructure meeting on Wednesday, Mike Hoefs, highway commissioner, took time from his portion of the agenda to bring committee supervisors up-to-speed.

“The water continues to come up in the northern part of the county,” he reported.

At that point, both Highway 35 north of the Riverside Bridge and Hwy. 77 from Danbury to the Minn. state line were closed due to high water.

“Highway 70 is not at risk because the road is higher,” Hoefs pointed out.

North and South Markville Roads were closed due to flooding and a portion of Co. Rd. H was closed due to a culvert failure. However, as of 8 a.m. on Friday, July 15, all state and county roads within Burnett County were open to traffic.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, preliminary estimates place the damage to Burnett County roads at $375,000.

GOVERNOR WALKER SEEKS FEDERAL DAMAGE ASSESSMENT FOR FLOOD DAMAGE Governor Scott Walker requested the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to conduct a preliminary damage assessment following torrential rains that caused more than $28 million in damage to roads and bridges in northern Wisconsin.

“Communities throughout northern Wisconsin were hit hard by flooding last week. We are doing everything we can to help them,” said Governor Walker. “I saw the damage firsthand and have worked with Wisconsin’s federal delegation and my cabinet to provide immediate assistance to the effected communities.”

Governor Walker issued a State of Emergency last week for Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Sawyer, and Washburn counties. Representatives from the Department of Administration (DOA), Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Department of Transportation (DOT), Public Service Commission (PSC), and Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) met with community members on Friday in Ashland. FEMA officials will look at damage to public infrastructure in those counties along with the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians and the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

Local and tribal officials have estimated in excess of $28 million in debris clearance, emergency protective measures, and damage to roads and other public infrastructure.

FEMA teams will begin assessing damage the week of July 25, 2016. The assessment is expected to take a few days to complete. Information gathered will be provided to Governor Walker to help determine if the state will request a federal disaster declaration. It is the first step to request federal disaster assistance.

JULY 20, 2016

Evil internet I knew we couldn’t trust Faceplace or whatever that website thing is —it was only a matter of time before someone, through no fault of their own, got hosed by the system.

Well, that someone is Grantsburg’s Rhonda Miller.

The owner of the “Wake Up Call” coffeehouse in Grantsburg got a letter at the end of June informing her she was infringing on someone’s trade-marked name.

I could certainly understand if someone in Siren or Webster, even Pine City, MN had the same name on their restaurant and was worried about competition.

Then, in my opinion, the Seems to infringement argument would Me make sense.

But Spokane, Wash.????

Todd Beckmann What, are they afraid Grantsburg folk are going to drive 2,000 miles for a cup of coffee?

I don’t drink the stuff but even if I did, I’d like to think I’d draw the line before I left the village, not to mention the state, for a cup of joe.

Of all the adjectives which come to mind to describe this state of affairs, Rhonda, knowing a story would appear in the family-friendly pages of the local paper, chose the word “stupid.”

She doesn’t believe anything would have come of the whole same-name deal had it not been for Facebook. She is quite sure that’s where the name of her restaurant was discovered and her problems began.

While they were gracious enough to not press charges if Rhonda complies, there was no hint of monetary help in what the franchise was asking her to do.

So that means its “X-amount” of money to remove all signage, physical as well as virtual, and it’s “X-amount” of money to have a new sign made and installed — money which will have to come out of Rhonda’s pocket.

Like she observed, “It’s tough enough to be a business owner in a small town without something like this happening.”

FAST-PACED Hard to believe we are already into the second half of July — the wife has less than a month before heading back to school.

When I take the time to reflect, it is always amazing how quickly time goes — of course, the popular adage is that time only speeds up as you get older.

But, I find it seems to be true.

Take wildlife, for example.

Those who know me know I’m a huge fan — in fact, I was wishing I had my camera the other morning when I walked up on a bald eagle sitting on the side of the road. Sure, he flew before I could get too close, but he was fun to see.

Likewise, I had heard of a mother loon with two babies who were swimming together every morning on a nearby waterway — I would have loved to get out there to see ‘em, but trying to decide what I would sacrifice to make it happen made my head hurt.

So that’s what they are doing Since the advent of video gaming 30 years ago, some have expressed concerns about young people spending too much time indoors in front of a screen.

The screens have become smaller over the years, driven by advances in technology.

What used to be played on a TV screen can now be played on a smartphone or tablet.

From the Nintendo, one of Publisher’s the pioneer gaming companies, Desk has been making Tom Stangl news the past week with the release of Pokémon Go, a new version of an old game updated to take advantage of global positioning system (GPS) software as well as the cameras in smartphones.

Pokémon is a game where players capture different creatures in ballshaped containers. These creatures are then let out of the pokéballs to train and eventually to fight other players’ Pokémon.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Pokémon was a huge phenomenon. Judging by the response to the smartphone app, adults who were children when the game first came out, as well as their children, are once again smitten.

I bring this to your attention to explain the number of people you are probably seeing walking around town, glued to their phone screens.

The app uses GPS to help players locate Pokémon, places where they can get additional pokéballs and gyms where they can train their Pokémon.

When a Pokémon is located, the game uses “augmented reality” for interaction. The phone’s camera will display the area in front of it and insert an animated Pokémon in the image. Screen shots taken by players show Pokémon in all sorts of places from a toilet to being next to a police officer during a traffic stop.

I downloaded the game and caught a Pokémon in my living room.

In doing prep for this column, I read a news account of a 19-year-old girl in Riverton, Wyo. discovering a body in a river while trying to capture a water-based Pokémon. There was also an account of thieves using the game to lure players to a spot where they can be robbed.

Game designers used public spaces, like parks and landmarks, for many of these locations and scattered sites randomly around the world.

Even though the app is free, players may purchase numerous items while playing the game, bringing in millions of dollars daily.

The idea of getting young people outside and getting some exercise is a great idea. The app warns players to be aware of their surroundings, but if you have seen teens playing the game, they appear to be walking like zombies glued to their screen.

A review of the game explains that it was originally based on the concept of collecting insects, a popular activity in Japan.

This new form of the game fulfills a fantasy of Pokémon fans, allowing them to travel the world (or at least their neighborhood) to collect Pokémon.

There have been complaints from private residences and public places like the Holocaust Museum about privacy rights and the appropriateness of where to be playing the game.

Privacy advocates question what is being done with the data collected by the cameras on these phones, but I believe privacy caught the last train for the coast about 15 years ago.

So, if you see these folks wandering about, be patient and careful.

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.

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.

Leisurely fishing

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Veterans call to action

Now I can say I’ve been up and down the St. Croix, at least from Norway Point to the mouth of the Clam River and back, and Nelson’s Landing to Soderbeck Landing.

Went through the ‘slough’ off the main channel on the southerly trip from Nelson’s Landing, but I prefer the northern route up to the Clam River. This is not simply because the hard jars of Jon boat against rock on the southern journey had me alternately grabbing the gunwales instinctively, then letting go, not wanting my fingers smashed on the shallow, low-riding vessel.

Once through the slough, my fishing partner laughed and said Newbie in my eyes got as big as saucers.

That’s exactly what my friend, the North- Gail Johnson, said the first and only time I rode The Zipper at woods the county fair at age 13. Crazy, painful ride. At least this latest Lori Callahan tumble left color in my face. Not so on The Zipper. If I remember correctly, I threw up afterward.

We climbed out a couple times passing through the slough to dislodge the boat from the rocks and get it turned back in the right direction.

Occasionally, one end of the boat slid up on rock and had me sitting nearly horizontal. My sense of equilibrium is strong and doesn’t appreciate that. I think there’s a direct connection between that sense, the lids of my eyes and my stomach muscles. (The Zipper was not the only carnival ride in my history that had me communing with the big white bowl.)

I’m unaccustomed to river fishing other than at the mouths of those spilling into Lake Superior on its north shore or in passages shallow enough to wade. I may have had and lost a couple catches — hard for me to tell with the strong current, rocks and weeds tugging at my line.

I see river fishing requires fine-tuning one’s equipment and, more so, one’s skills. My fishing partner caught a few smallies and a couple walleye — nothing to hold onto — but fishing for me was a bust on that southern trip from Nelson’s Landing.

In my defense, the ‘captain’ wouldn’t listen to my suggestion of moving to the shade.

Sun? Shade? Fish can swim, right? The shade was for me. Once the sun rises high, my body says, “That’s it for me,” despite my goofy, widebrimmed fishing hat and all.

See, that’s why men prefer not to fish with women — it’s not their abilities, it’s those darn hats.

I’m not sure I’d want to be seen with me either.

However, I had heat stroke once as a kid so it was necessary.

Lucky for me, our first jaunt north from Norway Point yielded not another soul and I was invited on the second trip. I think I was permitted to go in the first place only because I had my own minnow bucket.

Most enjoyable and most productive was the trip up to the Clam River. It was quiet, slow, mostly smooth and pleasant; wide enough in parts to replicate lake fishing and I caught some smallies and sunnies. My partner was the Walleye pro.

I’m gearing up for what I’m told is an eighthour trip from Raspberry Landing to County Road O. My preference is to be off the water and out of the sun by 11 a.m. That means bedtime that previous eve is before I get off work. I hope they understand when I’m found snoozing at my desk.

Just don’t shake me too hard.

Dear Editor: It is past due that we take back our country from our two existing political parties. John Adams quoted, “Because power corrupts, society’s demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.”

Where have all the ethical leaders gone?

Another quote from John Adams states, “There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” John Adams, Second President and first Vice President of USA.

A few tidbits

BY JEN BARTON RECYCLING CONTROL COMMISSION

The hazardous waste, electronics, white goods and medication collection held last weekend in Siren was a great success! One-hundred-six households took advantage of this annual event. If you are still finding hazardous wastes you want to get rid of, there will be another collection in our area in September in Spooner and Birchwood.

If you have electronics and white goods to recycle, please contact me as there are a number of other locations to do this, and if you have meds you need to safely dispose of, please drop off at the sheriff’s department. Both Burnett and Washburn County sheriff’s departments accept meds in a drop box located at their respective offices.

So, I came across a few important

and Los Angeles in their publication The New Atlas of Planet Management, approximately 70 percent of all the freshwater used by humans goes to agriculture, industry uses 22 percent, and the remaining eight percent is used by municipalities and households.

The last one for this article relates to food waste. We all do it and it needs to STOP! This fact is from H. Godfray in an article he wrote which ran in Science Magazine entitled “Food Scarcity: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People.” It states between 30 and 40 percent of all food in developed and developing countries ends up as waste. The reasons for this vary, but the fact remains that 30-40 percent is A LOT of food.

That’s all for me this week. Please contact me with questions at jbarton@nwrpc.com, or 715-635-2197.

of course. Every evening, we kids carried armfuls inside and neatly stacked them in the wood box until overflowing. Sometimes, the little red wagon was used to haul the bigger pieces for the heater (bigger for they burned longer).

These were piled in the entry hall.

Of course, we unloaded the wagon at the door and carried the wood in from there. It was good exercise and made us kids feel we had important job to do.

dling hot dishes. Something to wipe the sweat from one’s brow. When there were little children around, one could wipe a mouth or a tear.

There were several styles of aprons. Perhaps the most common was the sash apron, which covered the lower dress and tied around the waist with two strips of cloth.

The cobbler apron was sleeveless and covered the whole dress front and back, and usually buttoned down the back.

Then there was the bib apron, which was like the sash or tie apron, except that it had a bib attached to the front of the apron and was pinned to the front of the dress.

Then there were the fancy, lacy aprons in one’s collection. They were for festive occasions such as a wedding, when one worked with serving. They were likely white or lacy, or even colorful.

STROLL THROUGH THE PAST

by Eunice Kanne

The wood box One prominent piece of equipment in our kitchen was the wood box.

It was easily seen, for it was large enough to hold enough fuel wood to heat the cook stove on the coldest day and into the night.

The wood it held was from poles or small logs. They were hauled in from the grove that was in our cow pasture. The logs were then sawed into about 12-inch chunks with our tractor-powered saw and thrown into the wood pile.

My dad would split the bigger chunks into large pieces for the heating stove, and smaller pieces to fit the cook stove’s fire box. These smaller pieces were easier to burn faster and sooner than the larger pieces that were fed into the living room’s heater.

And how did we keep the wood box filled? That was the kids’ job,

The apron Remember the days when every kitchen “cook” wore an apron?

What a handy device!

Of course, it was to protect one from soil while cooking or cleaning, but what a useful device.

Wearing an apron, you always had something to wipe hands on. Something to use as holder when han-

tidbits I wanted to share with all of you in the next few Earth Notes articles. They are all related to the environment, but not all the same subject matter.

The first one I found, truly eye opening, comes from the Washington D.C. based League of American Bicyclists: 60 percent of the pollution created by automobile emissions happens in the first few minutes of operation, before pollution control devices become fully effective, which means shorter car trips are more polluting on a per-mile basis than longer trips. I found that to be very interesting.

The next one is about water and you may know that this is one of my passion subjects so I hope you find this interesting as well. According to Myers and Kent from the University of California Press at Berkeley

of September. In a November election, we would write in all our candidates, hoping that this idea might stimulate free press in many community papers.

I have requested in writing that Duffy, Feingold, Johnson, and Baldwin throw out the VA Choice Program and give the billions of dollars to each VA facility to control as needed. They already outsource as needed. The Minneapolis VA and the University of Minnesota Affiliation is the top, best of class in the VA Network.

Why can’t every veteran use their VA ID card any place in the USA for full, instant healthcare coverage?

All veterans, having served their country, deserve to be properly treated for the sacrifice they gave of themselves.

Value Strip

We know our veterans posts have had declining membership over the years, and so we need to find a reason to increase all posts membership. Census facts: USA Veterans, 20,700,711, seven percent of our population. Wisconsin Veterans, 395,931, 6.9 percent of our population.

Consider this. Each Legion and VFW Post elects one member to elect, via ballot, for the position of Congress, Senator and President.

Post roll up first to Districts, then to States. Now we can assume we have one Veteran to run for Representative for three two-year terms, one Senator for a six-year term, and one President for four years. The second vote getter from all States is the VP position.

Looking at a time-line, it might look like this. All Posts vote by the end of July, the Districts by the end of August, and the States by the end

High water Normally the excess water in Lower Webb Lake flows over the dam down Webb Creek and into the Namekagon River. But after the storm last week, the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers are so high that the water was flowing from the Namekagon River back into Webb Creek. The water normally flows left to right, but now is flowing right to left and flowing over Webb Creek Road. It would have rise another five feet before it could ever come close to reaching Webb Lake, but for now it is flooding a lot of swamps and low lands.

to determine when it’s safe to get folks back on the river,” he said.

When the outfitters resume normal operations, it’ll be a work-in-progress to get reacquainted with the river.

“The speed of the water is our biggest concern, but canoeists and kayakers alike will have to be careful not to get entangled with debris in the river — people are going to have to navigate away from potential problems.”

Both businessmen cautioned river enthusiasts to wear their personal flotation device and be mindful of small children.

“We want people to enjoy their time on the river, but at the same time, they need to be safe — to pay attention to where they are, what they are doing and what’s coming up,” Dorff cautioned.

The men hope they can rebound from the interruption.

“I hope people will understand and reschedule,” Pardun reported. “This 10-day break is hard for us due to our short season — but it’s one of those things typical in a small business.”

Dorff was of the same opinion.

“People were appreciative we contacted them — especially because we had quite a few reservations and deposits,” he concluded. “This torrential rain in the middle of July was an unprecedented event — so I’m hopeful they’ll reschedule.”

SIREN—ATV riders in Webb Lake will have a little easier time of their rides following action at the county’s infrastructure meeting on Wednesday.

The committee approved two routes along Co. Rd. H and recommended them for full board approval later this month.

The first of the approvals was a 2,700-foot section of the highway from No. Bear Lake Road to Hwy. 77.

“This would allow residents in Holiday Acres and Vaughn Park the ability to access trails,” Steve Austin, chairman of the Town of Webb Lake, reasoned in his application.

The other section of road, about 6,000-feet, would run from East Long Lake Rd. to the Northwoods Bar — a fairly straight piece of road.

“It would allow ATV trail access to residents on East Long Lake Rd. and Shoreline Drive, plus it would service Northwoods Bar — the only Webb Lake business without access,” Austin noted. “It’s only fair.”

And even though it wasn’t on the agenda, Ron Gray, president of the Turf and Tundra ATV Club, and Roger Larson, supervisor for the Town of Jackson, used the public comment portion of the meeting to address concerns of the committee over a failed ATV request along Co. Rd. C in June.

“Your biggest concern was whether we had explored all the other options,” Larson voiced. “Voyager Village had turned us down so Co. Rd. C seemed like the best bet to get people from the Voyager Campground to Mail Rd.” He said even if Voyager hadn’t turned them down, the option they submitted “would be better than running them through the maze that is Voyager Village — I’m afraid people would get lost.”

Larson said he would re-submit the request.

In other news: • The committee heard news the county had petitioned the Grantsburg Village Board for $150,000 in entitlement dollars allotted by the Bureau of Aeronautics (BOA) to the Grantsburg Airport — a move the board approved.

“I’ll be returning to their August meeting to seek the additional $450,000 in entitlement dollars the village has not yet used,” Nate Ehalt, county administrator told committee members. “The county is trying to get those funds for future projects at the Burnett County Airport.”

• Highway commissioner Mike Hoefs reported highway crews are close to being ready to pave both Co. Rd. B and Co. Rd. C. “I’m expecting both projects to be under budget,” he explained. “We’ll be leaving both roads unpaved for a while so we can get it as compacted as we can before we lay down pavement.”

• “Despite all the rain, things are coming together well,” Hoefs said of the new highway shop. “The footings are in and the pre-formed wall panels will be going up in the next week or two.”

While the computer has certainly helped, Wicklund sill gets a monthly visit from Gilbertson.

“He’s always helping me,” she said. “This last visit, he put raised dots around the microwave so now I can use it without my husband’s help.”

Her husband Gerry does help her out, but she tries to minimize that help.

WEBSTER—A computer which reads text back to her is sure making life easier for Webster’s Jeannie Wicklund.

Having been born blind, she is certainly able to take care of herself and even runs a business, the Christian Thrift Store, out of her home, but her computer set-up allows her to be a better-read individual.

“It’s a pretty neat set-up,” Wicklund boasts of her system. “It keeps me up-to-date without having to depend on the TV or radio.”

With a special computer from Texas for the Blind, a scanner from Radio Shack in Siren and a trial software program her counselor-for-the-blind Scott Gilbertson found for her, she was set to go.

Like a normal computer, Wicklund’s will play CDs or MP3s, it will display an address book, offer the ability to write a letter, or scan copy — the only difference is that Wicklund’s computer will tell you what it is doing.

“I memorized where all the keys I need are located,” she beamed.

No doubt her years of playing organ helped her with that experience.

“I really use the scanner and read a lot,” she pointed out. “I don’t read a lot of hard-cover books because they are too thick to fit on the scanner bed, but magazines, paperbacks and newspapers work pretty well.”

In fact, when I told her this story would be in today’s paper, she said she would scan it so she could read

knacks or even coat hangers that she creates.

“I tie yarn onto coat hangers to make them a little more forgiving,” she remarked. “For our other merchandise, we visit Connections here in Webster and go to second-hand stores and buy stuff to sell.”

She’s even taking her store to the Central Burnett County Fair later in July.

When she’s not organizing her store or working on her computer, Wicklund spends time playing the organ and plays the autoharp and accordian as well.

“I play pretty well, but I sing really well —I used to be in the Grantsburg Talent Show years ago when they had a show,” she concluded.

Walker approval rating 38 percent in latest Marquette poll MADISON (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker’s approval rating remains below 40 percent.

A Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows Walker’s approval at 38 percent, nearly unchanged from 39 percent in June. It was at 43 percent in March just before Wisconsin’s presidential primary.

Walker’s approval rating first fell below 40 percent nearly a year ago, just before he dropped out of the Republican race for president.

Walker has largely remained out of the national spotlight since then, but he is scheduled to speak next week at the Republican national convention.

Trump, Clinton both deeply unpopular in Wisconsin MADISON (AP) — Presumptive presidential nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton remain deeply unpopular in Wisconsin.

A Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows that 63 percent of registered voters have an unfavorable view of Trump. Clinton’s unfavorable rating is only slightly better at 58 percent — unchanged from last month.

Trump’s unfavorable rating last month was 64 percent.

The new poll shows Clinton leading Trump by 6 points among registered voters and 4 points among likely voters. That’s tightened since last month when Clinton led by seven points among registered voters and nine points among likely voters.

The poll was conducted by phone July 7 through Sunday, sampling 801 registered Wisconsin voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

SIREN—“It could happen here.�

In the wake of the shootings in Dallas, St. Paul, Orlando and Baton Rouge, Ron Wilhelm realizes it’s only geography distancing Burnett County from the tragedies taking place across the country or even around the world. “Be aware of your surroundings� is a mantra the sheriff with 20-plus years law enforcement experience relies on for personal safety — and the recent attacks have done nothing to change that view. “Remain calm, use your head, be aware of your surroundings and have some sort of plan should things ‘go south,’� Sheriff Wilhelm said of such deadly instances.

Hand-in-hand with that advice is the ‘See something, say something� edict. “If you see a package which seems out of place, tell someone,�

Wilhelm cautioned.

He emphatically denied that guns are the problem. “I’ve been carrying a gun for years without a problem,� he remarked. “It’s not guns — it’s a mental health issue.�

The incident in St. Paul can be dismissed as an individual not cooperating with law enforcement. “The young man had a carry/ conceal weapon, but after announcing the weapon, he didn’t follow orders from the officers,� Wilhelm explained. “Instead of keeping his hands on the steering wheel as instructed, he allegedly reached in his pocket for some identification or the carry/conceal permit — you just don’t do that.�

According to Wilhelm, the man had been stopped by police 50-some times and this latest time was in connection with a convenience store robbery a few days prior. “Had he just announced his weapon and then followed officer directions, everyone would have been safe,� the sheriff continued. “It’s a common sense reaction.�

The attack in Dallas was a hard

one to predict. “You have an angry individual who uses the events in Baton Rouge and St. Paul as fuel and there’s no way to predict what is going to happen,� Wilhelm observed. “It was like an ambush —even his folks didn’t realize he had that much anger.�

It could happen anywhere. “We have thousands of people like that,� he reported.

To answer the question ‘Where do we go from here?’ Wilhelm looks to his staff. “It’s a matter of getting them properly trained, but in a rural community like ours, it’s having officers who understand the dynamics of the county,� Wilhelm pointed out. “They have to realize back-up might be 30 minutes away and use good judgment as to whether to make a traffic stop at 3:30 a.m. in the morning or wait for another day.�

Looking ahead, Wilhelm sees the recent events coming to some sort of culmination. “What’s going to happen this week in Cleveland (Republican National Convention) or next month in Rio (2016 Olympics)? Wilhelm asked rhetorically. “With a worldwide spotlight, those are hot potatoes.�

I had the pleasure of attending the 65th anniversary party for Marie and Dwaine Bentley at the Siren Senior Center. They are two of their very faithful card players every week.

Natural Connections: Change of plans Grilled asparagus takes center stage

BY EMILY STONE NATURALIST/EDUCATION DIRECTOR CABLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

I lay awake in the dark as sheets of rain and a few pebbles of hail battered the windows. Wave after wave of storms moved though, each one increasing my sense of foreboding. With each successive burst of thunder and rain, I first thanked my lucky stars that the canoe trip hadn’t started a day earlier, and then mulled over the possibilities for morning.

The Museum’s fifth annual canoe trip for 12-18 year olds was set to launch on the Namekagon River at 9 a.m. on Tuesday. Nine boys had signed up — a record number — with more than half returning for their second, third, or fourth year on the trip. We were all looking forward to the adventure.

Even if the river isn’t too high, I thought, we’ll have to be extra careful about new trees slumped across the channel.

Morning news reports of the historic storm, bridge collapses, and 10.5 inches of rain quickly squashed any ideas about paddling the river. We gathered the boys and their parents in the break room to come up with a plan B. We could cancel it, I suggested, or camp in a campground and cut the trip down to one night. But the boys wouldn’t compromise; they wanted their two nights in the woods no matter what. So, after being turned back by a road closure on the way to the campground on Lake Namakagon, we ended up with Plan C — a campground on Lake Owen.

Seconds after the van doors opened, the boys were gone. Down to the lake they sprinted, in the clattering, tumbling, mountain goat gallops characteristic of their age and gender. Then, seconds later, they were back up to the picnic table for lunch.

Tents went up. Swimsuits went on, beach was invaded. Then back to camp, into canoes and off for a paddle around the sheltered bay.

No fish were caught, so we returned to the beach. Fading into the background with a watchful eye, I grew dizzy at the pace of their perpetual motion. With the focus and efficiency of maturity, I could out-paddle them any day, but they had infinitely more energy and skill for play.

If this is their preferred, default

High water on the Namekagon did not get in the way of these boys having fun.

speed, it’s no wonder that these boys struggle to sit in class and pay attention or to settle down to do math homework. It’s no wonder that shorter and fewer recesses are impacting students’ ability to focus. I always hope that the boys learn something from me on these trips — how to pack a Duluth pack, steer a canoe, set up your tent to keep the rain out, keep a clean camp, tie a trucker’s hitch, or identify poison ivy. But really, even if all the boys learn is that joy can be found in the freedom of nature, I’m satisfied.

Our second day on the trip — their one full day outdoors — was another whirlwind. A rope swing beckoned us halfway down the lake, but rolling whitecaps and seething gusts turned us back.

The failed adventure was forgotten as fast as you could say “sunfish.”

Even the staunch anti-fisherman unwound line from a tree, tied on a night crawler found drowning in a puddle, and spent an hour or so on the dock watching schools of nibblers rise to the bait. Our serious anglers trolled circles around the protected bay and each came up with at least one large bass, plus 40 tiny bluegills.

We had a few moments of peace during lunch. Nine mouths full of peanut butter afforded some welcome silence. Then back to the beach. After an hour of intense activity, I noticed a few boys start to slow down. Nabbing the chance, I gathered everyone up on the beach for a geology lesson.

“About 1.1 billion years ago,” I began, “the continent tried to rip itself apart, right down the ba-

sin of Lake Superior.” The story of the mid-continent rift is one of my favorites. The thinning crust allowed magma to well up and the resulting lava flows created the North Shore of Lake Superior.

The intense tectonic activity was felt all the way down here, in the form of accessory faults that deeply cracked the bedrock. The long, narrow basin of Lake Owen was carved out of one of those faults.

Fast forward to 10,000 years ago and sub-glacial rivers carrying torrents of melt-water deposited sinuous ridges of gravel called eskers up and down the lake.

I know that geologic time probably means little to the brain of a teenage boy. Everything is now.

The potential consequences of their actions have no significance until they materialize. Only I foresaw the potential for broken bones, for glass in bare feet, for sand in eyes, for fishhooks in faces. Those things never happened, so I’m sure the boys never considered their possibility. The sad part is that the consequences of our actions — of years of inaction on climate change with a similar attitude — have now materialized in their lives.

Through sheer luck, this storm didn’t threaten their lives. But it could have. This much rain is unprecedented. The river hasn’t flooded like this in recorded history. Still, their luck and their resilience in the face of potential catastrophe and actual plan changes gives me hope that they will manage with the future — which is now the present — we’ve created for them.

I love to be outside and cooking on the grill is my favorite way to prepare meals from May until September. I enjoy grilled beef and chicken, but when those first vegetables of spring start to appear in grocery stores and markets, I can make a meal out of grilled vegetables.

Grilled vegetables add lots of flavor Wild Chow to a salad or side dish. The smoky flavor can easily change the way a meal Lisa Erickson tastes. Toss in some nuts and crumbled cheese, like feta, and your dinner will be delicious. One of the best things about salads is you can add strips of grilled steak, chicken or salmon.

Happy summer grilling and I hope to see you at the farmers markets soon!

Grilled asparagus salad 1 pound fresh asparagus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling Salt and freshly ground pepper 4 cups lightly packed cups romaine lettuce 1 English cucumber, cut into 1/4-inch slices 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved 1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled 1/3 cup pecans, toasted 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup good quality balsamic vinegar 1 tsp grainy mustard 1 Tbsp chopped tarragon 1 cup croutons Light a grill or preheat the oven to broil. Brush asparagus with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Grill over high heat, turning, until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Let cool, then cut the asparagus into 2-inch diagonal pieces.

In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with the grilled asparagus, cucumber, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, pecans and cheese. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Gradually whisk in the 1/2 cup oil until emulsified; add the tarragon. Pour the dressing over salad and toss. Garnish with croutons and serve.

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Wisconsin Republicans to honor Walker at convention

MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans headed to Cleveland next week for the national GOP convention are scheduled to have a late night “beer and brats bash,” attend a reception outside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and honor Gov. Scott Walker.

That’s according to a tentative schedule of events for the Wisconsin delegation obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press. The final schedule, as well as speaking days and times for Walker and House Speaker Paul Ryan, has not been made public.

Ryan, Walker and other Wisconsin delegates have had a complicated relationship with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Both Walker and Ryan have endorsed Trump, but they both have also been critical of Trump’s positions and comments.

When Walker dropped out of the presidential race last year, he urged others to join him so Trump could be defeated. He also endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in Wisconsin’s primary, and campaigned

with him to defeat Trump.

Still, both Walker and Ryan are both going to be speaking at the convention.

Walker has said that his address will focus on why Democrat Hillary Clinton needs to be defeated, while Ryan is expected to talk mostly about the House GOP agenda.

The official convention business will be happening inside the Quicken Loans Arena, but there are plenty of extracurricular events set up for the Wisconsin delegation after hours.

It kicks off Saturday night with a “Chairman’s Gala” at the Cleveland Powerhouse, a former power station converted into an entertainment and retail hub. On Sunday afternoon, as Wisconsin’s 42 delegates, guests and others are checking into their hotel, they are invited to partake in an event dubbed “Jump Around: A True Wisconsin Happy Hour.”

All attendees at the convention are invited to attend a “Rock the Night” reception at the harbor adjacent to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center. The itinerary says there will be access to both museums.

Following the first day of the convention on Monday, a late night “beer and brats bash” is planned to run from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Similarly, on Tuesday from 10 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. a “Raise `em up on the river” party at a bar that sits on a river leading into Lake Erie.

The Wednesday night reception, billed as “Dancing when the stars go red,” is at the hotel where the delegation is staying in downtown Cleveland.

Following the last night of the convention, a celebration honoring Walker is scheduled for between 10 p.m. and midnight once again at the Cleveland Powerhouse.

Democrats reacted with snark to the Wisconsin Republican itinerary.

“On the first night of their party’s national convention, the Republican Party of Wisconsin is looking to distract their homegrown `Never Trump’ delegates from their train-wreck of a presidential candidate,” said Wisconsin Democratic Party spokesman Brandon Weathersby.

“While Democrats continue to come together in support of Secretary Hillary Clinton, the Republican Party is desperately trying to sell their nominee to their own base.”

Walker, Ryan, Duffy to speak at GOP convention MADISON (AP) — At least five Wisconsin politicians are slated to speak at the Republican national convention this week.

Speaker Paul Ryan, Gov. Scott Walker, U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy and Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke are all scheduled to speak at the convention that begins Monday in Cleveland. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, a Wisconsin native, is also speaking.

The RNC released the list of speakers Thursday.

Walker is one of several former Trump presidential rivals who will speak. Others include Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee and Rick Scott.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is skipping the convention. He’s embattled in a tough re-election fight with Democrat Russ Feingold.

Paddling the St. Croix River

WEEKLY WAG

Dawn is a two-year-old dilute calico cat that came to our shelter with her twomonth-old orange kitten named Sunnie.

Dawn is a sleek beauty who absolutely LOVES attention. My friend and I were visiting the other day and Dawn did not mind one little bit sharing herself with two people. She is an equal opportunity kitty that didn’t play favorites. I think that Dawn has some Siamese in her, but that’s just my opinion.

We hated to leave Dawn, but needed Dawn to meet her little kitten housed in the condos on the other end of the building.

Sunnie was a little lover who just melted in my arms and was very well behaved as I held her. I called her my “little noodle.” She seemed so comfortSunnie able that she sort of went limp while stretching on her back. Of course, these two could be adopted together, without any hesitation. They have been getting used to being apart, however, so no problem if you don’t want two cats. Mother and daughter couldn’t look more different, but they both share a sweet disposition and adore people.

I give Dawn and Sunnie two paws up!

I have been asked how people can help our shelter. There are many ways. Of course, monetary donations are most welcome and can be put to use where we need it most. We can always use bleach, paper towels, laundry soap, canned dog food, canned cat food, dog treats, cat treats, dog toys, cat toys, blankets, towels, newspapers, liquid hand soap and copy paper. We can’t have enough volunteers to help run our shelter and socialize with the animals. You may have ideas or skills to share! Sometimes we are in need of people to foster animals, too. Go to our website for more information on our shelter, to check out the available animals or to see how you can be involved.

Part VI: Trego to Whispering Pines

BY KYLE WEAVER

TREGO—There is a stretch of land along the Namekagon River I know intimately.

Since I have been old enough to walk along, my family has hunted grouse along the public land near the Namekagon River east of Leisure Lake, downstream from where the Boyle Brook joins it.

As many times as I’ve seen the river from this land, I’ve only seen this land from the river a handful of times. It only made sense, then, that on this day trip, I’d bring the man who brought me there so many times before: my father.

On June 25, Dad and I launched my 14.5-foot canoe from the Trego Town Park landing, the same place I took out when last I was on the Namekagon.

The weather was sunny and hot, so we were dressed appropriately, with light clothing and brimmed hats, and slathered with SPF. I was already sunburned to medium-rare the weekend prior and did not wish to become well done.

Not a minute into our adventure, we sustained a little damage as we paddled under the red bridge—the one famous among local swimmers. Dad guessed he’d be safe by leaning back, but a small bump to the head taught him otherwise. I, of course, was little help while laughing at our clumsiness right off the bat.

No bruises were sustained, thankfully, except perhaps to our egos.

Paddling across the Trego Flowage, I remarked to Dad that I was glad to have checked it off the list. That said, I don’t ever need to paddle it again. The lake is populated with cabins and boats and people; I’ve said before that I prefer the solitude of the river. The wind, for the most part, was coop-

erative in the open parts of the lake. As much as possible, we stayed to river right, per the advice I was given.

While this indeed helped us beat the wind, the heat and sun were unavoidable.

By the time we reached the Trego Dam, we were glad to take a short break in the shade along the portage.

Back underway, the current beneath us was a welcome change of pace from the slow moving water of the lake. Below the landing at County Road K, there are some riffles and small rapids that allowed us to steer more and paddle less. There was more shade and the air seemed cooler as well, so our comfort level had risen considerably. We were home.

My father grew up in Spooner, Wis., and has lived there most of his life. The Namekagon is his home river even more than it is mine.

As we paddled, Dad was seeing things he’d not seen in a long time and he shared stories of fish caught and deer and waterfowl hunted in the area. I’d heard some of these old stories before, but some were new and others held freshly recalled de-

tails. We tend to repeat the stories that are most vivid in our memories; I was glad the river scenery could help conjure some of the less vivid ones as it passed.

Except for a small flotilla of canoers and another couple with two small children whom we leap-frogged most of the day, we were alone with the river. Dad packed us a lunch, which we stopped and ate in the shade at the group campsite at mile marker N29.2. It felt like quite a novelty for us to stop there on this trip, as it is a favorite resting place during our grouse hunts.

We’ve stopped there so many times before via land, to allow our bird dogs to get a drink and to sit for a minute and relax.

Once we arrived at Whispering Pines Landing, the adventure wasn’t quite finished. My father’s friend had shuttled us and left my vehicle at our pick-up with the key fob locked inside.

I had brought a door key, but neglected to consider that the driver’s door is the only one on my vehicle that can be unlocked with a key. This also happened to be the door I had recent-

ly broken the handle off.

I could unlock it, but not open it, and without the fob I couldn’t unlock any of the other doors. Luckily, a local family of paddlers was loading up while we were there and we were able to finagle the door latch with a borrowed screw driver and some wire. With that problem solved, we were quickly on our way home.

Note: I find it remarkable that due to the significant storms that recently flooded the Riverway, we could have, within a few days of this writing, paddled over the red bridge we had paddled under at the outset of the above journey. Lesson: Don’t mess with Mother Nature. I have been on vacation for a couple of weekends and am eager to get back on the river, but it may yet be a while before the landings reopen and I can safely organize another trip. Stay tuned.

Until next time, I’ll see you on the water.

A good story

Pastor Tom Cook Lewis, Siren, Grace, Danbury United Methodist Churches

Those who know me know that I love a good story. So, when I find one, I know what to do with it. I tell it over and over and inevitably change it a little.

One of my favorite stories which I recently contacted concerned a pastor who was doing a summer camp experience with young children. The children had been working hard and the pastor, wanting them to have a good time at camp, had decided to lead them in a game. He gathered the children close to himself and began to talk about the game they were about to play. “The game we are about to play is called ‘Giants, Wizards and Dwarfs.’ The thing is, you must decide now which of these you

Trying to get things going for the game, he wanted to press on, but he thought he felt a tug on his pant leg. He repeated the instructions again, Giants stand to the left, Wizards stand in front of me and Dwarfs to my right.

A mere definite tug on his pant leg. He looked down into the face of an eager little girl who said, “Where do the mermaids stand?�

And the pastor gave her a hug and she was learning perhaps the most important truth that we can know — we are loved just as we are in God’s kingdom.

Again and again, Jesus reached out with God’s love to all, a prostitute, a publican (one who collected taxes for Rome), a women caught in the act of adultery, a women married five times who was living with a man not her husband, those 12 men who just couldn’t seem to get it right and a host of persons which has come to include us.
