Potential county campground gets cost analysis JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY –– The county campground project has been delayed after Forest Administrator Jake Nichols brought to the Natural Resources committee numbers on what it will cost to build the campground.

Nichols said the engineers estimate for the potential 32-site campground, about half with water and electricity hook-ups and the other half as primitive sites, will cost around $1.2 million to build.

The proposed site is in the Town of Swiss which sent a letter to the committee last month which stated they were not in favor of the campground because building a campground could have adverse affects on Carter’s Bridge Road and wanted to know why the county was trying to compete with all the other private campgrounds in the area.

The committee agreed to table any future possible county campground until after they research other county campgrounds and will revisit the subject at their June meeting.

Students learn how poppies honor veterans HARRIET RICE

WEBSTER––Thirty-five third graders at Webster Elementary School learned that the poppy is the official symbolic flower the American Legion uses to honor, celebrate and support America’s veterans.

Each year in May, ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary, Otis Taylor Post 96, Webster visit the school to explain the legend of the poppy and to kick off a poster contest.

On Friday, May 4, Paula Smith, June Dopkins, Pat Beetcher and Delores Lien visited Mrs. Stubbe’s and Mrs. Richeson’s class.

Wearing a sundress made of red fabric with poppies, four-year-old Amanda Larson came along as

Several children raised their hands, identifying family members currently serving. Both teachers’ spouses served in the Armed Forces, a fact revealed to their classes for the first time.

According to an article in the May issue of American Legion Auxiliary magazine, Poppy Days are commemorated on Veterans Day in countries around the world. Americans have worn poppies in observance of both Memorial Day and Veterans Day. The American Legion brought

BURNETT COUNTY –– Michael Hoefs, Highway Commissioner explained to the infrastructure committee that this spring has been difficult on his department in terms of snow removal and their budget, but he did have good news.

“Our snow removal expenses are pretty big for the year at around $400,000 and just expenses through the end of April have reached $375,000,” Hoefs said.

“Now that doesn’t include our sales. Since we produce salt and sand to sell to other municipalities. That amounts to about $184,000.”

Hoefs said that realistically they have spent around $190,000 during this season.

Nichols said that his department has written and submitted a number of grants for the campground. His department has put a lot of time into this project and he wanted to know if they intended on going forward.

County Supervisor Steve Austin said he could not believe the $1.2 million price tag.

He said that was far too much for the 32 sites and that the costs should be re-assessed.

Austin owns the Oak Ridge Inn and Campground in Webb Lake and said it’s a tough business.

“These revenue numbers seem off as well,” Austin said.

Another issue the committee discussed is where to put the campground. Some suggested putting it on the west side of the county, but it was brought up that the people that are coming up here are looking to be on the ATV trails.

“The weekend warriors that come up here want the trail to be right there on the campground,” Austin said. “They don’t want to have to go to the trail.”

This is a discussion that has been ongoing in the county for the campground and the jail. It’s not just the initial cost that needs to be taken care of, but the continued maintenance costs of running a campground.

Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputy and Rec officer Ryan Bybee gave his report to the committee and it was focused on ATV’s illegally operating on the Gandy Dancer Trail.

“We’ve been busy,” Bybee said.

He said two weeks ago there were two individuals riding ATVs on the Gandy.

“These are not the same individuals we always see, they’re not repeat offenders,” Bybee said. “They see an opportunity to go on the trail and they take it.”

ATVs are prohibited on the Gandy during the summer months and Bybee explained the damage it is doing to the trail.

“There are significant ruts on sections of the trail that go eight to ten inches deep,” Bybee said.

Nichols said that this happens every year on the trail and he has been dealing with it for about 20 years.

“It only takes one person that doesn’t care or doesn’t know to create one of these ruts,” Nichols said.

Austin then asked Bybee about his department and if they’ve got the proper equipment for the job.

“Best case scenario for us would be for us to have an ATV and a UTV. That combination would be the most efficient way to patrol the trail system,” Bybee said.

Bybee added that the DNR wants more UTVs patrolling in the area and has offered $10,000 to help the county purchase one.

County Supervisor Chuck Anderson gave the monthly tourism report and said the state is worried about the counties tourism numbers.

“They’re worried because Burnett County tourism numbers have flattened,” Anderson said.

County Supervisor Gene Olson said that former UW-Extension Community Development Educator Mike Kornmann was asked to do too much including tourism reports.

“Mike was asked to do too much and the tourism report is being affected,” Olson said.

Anderson noted the county website numbers are down because nobody is maintaining it since Kornmann left in March for a position as Village Administrator in Port Edwards.

New committee member and County Supervisor Richard Anderson, had Hoefs confirm that his department doesn’t operate with a seasonal budget for winter but a yearly budget for snow removal.

Hoefs added that he sees some major expenses coming up this fall with bulk sand and salt purchases equalling about $200,000. He said it was an estimate because he still does not know exactly how much salt the highway department currently has.

“I’ll know more at the end of the month for how much salt we have right now,” Hoefs said.

During Hoefs report he spoke about the sign truck, currently just a chassis, and difficulties he has been having with the vendor building the body of the truck. He said that communication with the man in charge has not been satisfactory.

“We asked to send a couple of guys down there to look at the site and were denied access,” Hoefs said.

“Then we found out the guy has been in trouble with the feds and the property was seized by the federal government.”

Hoefs said the only thing on the man’s property was their truck, that had not moved since it arrived there.

Committee Chair and County Supervisor Jeremy Gronski said the department was very lucky that the chassis was not sold at the auction.

“If we were a private entity we would not have been able to get it back,” Hoefs said. “We’re public and part of the county and that’s the only reason we were able to get the truck

back.”

This led to a brief conversation on which vendors the committee and the county can trust and Hoefs explained his plan for getting the sign truck finished.

“I want the body built soon, so I’ve got three of four vendors coming in, in the near future, and I’m going to have them sell to us,” Hoefs said.

Sticking to the theme of odd events, Gary Faught Maintenance Supervisor gave his monthly report to the committee and said that one of the

‘We always need more space for holding meetings.’

Nate Ehalt County Administrator jails inmates made an escape attempt in the shower.

“He got a hold of a wire off of a bucket or something,” Faught said.

“So he was trying to chip away the wall out of the shower up there.”

The escape attempt cost about $190 to repair.

Future projects At last month’s meeting the committee decided they would take a list of possible government center projects that would be the most beneficial for everyone. Almost immediately some committee members voiced concerns about making these specific decisions.

Gronski said that he is only in the building a few days a month and does not have the knowledge of the building to make large improvement

suggestions. He added that he has never been up to the courtroom.

Supervisor Emmett Byrne said he felt “iffy” about committee members alone making these decisions.

County Administrator Nate Ehalt told the committee the greatest need the government center has is meeting space.

“We always need more space for holding meetings,” Ehalt said. “The break room and the sheriff’s department is where the focus should be.”

Ehalt said that ever since he arrived to work for the county he has heard the sheriff’s department say they need more space for evidence storage and updated interview rooms.

“Those interview rooms are not just used by the sheriff’s department, but is also used by HHS (Health and Human Services) to interview children or other people on sensitive topics,” Ehalt said.

Gronski said he once was working alone in the county board room and was inadvertently hearing an interview taking place on the other side of the partition. He described it as hearing things he probably should not be hearing.

No action was taken by the committee but all members seemed to be on the same page with looking into more meeting room space along with updated storage space and interview rooms for the sheriff’s department.

Ehalt said he would find out more information for the committee on those projects. He concluded by saying that other projects like additional security needed for the courtroom, but that would be a much more costly project.

POPPIES: students learn about symbolic day

National Poppy Day® to the United States by asking Congress to designate the Friday before Memorial Day – May 25 this year. Poppies are never sold; they are given away, but donations are welcome.

The activity is one of several fundraisers the ALA conducts all year.

The monies are used to send comfort items to veterans’ hospitals as well as fund scholarships and student leadership programs such as Badger State.

The custom is traced back to 1918, when Mona Michael popularized the idea of wearing a poppy flower in memory of those who lost their lives in World War I. She drew inspiration from the poem In Flanders Fields, written by WWI Col. John McCrae in his sorrow at looking at rows and rows of graves where his comrades recently had been buried. Poppy seeds can lie dormant for years, yet bloom brilliantly when the soil is disturbed or freshly dug.

After the battles were fought in WWI, the blood red poppies flourished in France and Belgium when battlefields became burial grounds.

The red flowers suddenly bloomed

among the newly dug graves of fallen service members, turning the graveyards into fields of red.

In the early 1920s, the poppy was adopted by the American Legion as its official memorial flower to honor WWI veterans, and is used to this day to honor veterans of all past conflicts.

Smith invited the children to create posters illustrating what the poppies and Memorial Day means to each of them. She also suggested “when you meet a veteran, say ‘thank you,’ and give them a hug.”

The students will have class time to work on their entries, with teacher assistance. The artwork will be judged by a panel at the upcoming American Legion district meeting on Saturday, May 19 in Webster.

The posters will be displayed in the Webster Community Center during the annual ALA Memorial Day Dinner on Monday, May 28, then returned to the students.

Do you want your voice to be heard?

I have written this once and will continue to drive home this message. This newspaper is for the people, you people – yes, you right there. It’s not for me or anyone I work for. It’s designed to educate and inform the people in this county.

Writing a letter to the editor is one of the most proactive things you can do for your community. It serve two purposes.

First, it is a space where you, the reader, can give feedback on anything you have read in the paper. Do you have a strong opinion on an article in the paper? Is there a side to the story that isn’t being covered? Do you have insider knowledge that the public should know?

Second, letters to the editor allow everyday people to be pubSentinel lished in their local newspaper.

This isn’t the Wall Street Journal Editor – we’ve got space for YOU. Is there Jonathan Richie something in the county you think others should know about? Is there a subject that isn’t receiving proper coverage by the Sentinel?

Who knows? By writing a letter to the editor, you could join a long list of people that got their start with this seemingly tiny gesture, like Benjamin Franklin (who should have been our first president if the American Revolution would have started 15 years earlier.)

Franklin got his start in print writing letters to the editor for his brother James’ paper, the New England Courant. Silence Dogood was the pen-name Benjamin used. (Yes, I’m talking about the letters from the film National Treasure, with excellent over-actor Nicholas Cage.)

Benjamin created Dogood, a Boston widow, (Franklin had practiced writing as a woman for years) who wrote 14 letters to the Courant in 1922 as a 16-year-old working as an apprentice for the Courant. James eventually figured out who Dogood was and he was livid with Benjamin.

That being said, please don’t send in fake letters because then we will make national headlines as actually promoting fake news. And that would not be a good thing.

Benjamin then moved to Philadelphia and began making history and saying things like, “if all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.”

(In an attempt to reach the younger audience) Facebook is like letters to the editor, but just with your friends. Now imagine you were writing for people that aren’t your friends. That’s the kind of reach or influence you could attain.

Letters to the editor are limited to 400 words or less and must include the writer’s full name, address, and phone number (address and phone number will not be printed). Anonymous letters will not be published. Readers may submit one letter for consideration every 30 days.

Give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.

No Fuelin’ May is flying by. The weather has finally returned to normal, the flowers and trees are blooming, graduation season is underway and gas prices have begun to creep up.

Most of these things are welcome, with the exception of higher gasoline prices.

I’m going to go on a rant here, so I apologize in From the Publisher’s advance.

People who monDesk itor these things report that the Tom Stangl average national i for f unleaded l d gasoline on May price 10 was $2.84 a gallon. This price is 50 cents higher than last year.

Forecasters believe gas prices will continue to rise before peaking in June at $2.97 a gallon. Gas is already over $3.00 a gallon in some areas of the nation.

We have grown accustomed to prices rising before Memorial Day, the traditional start of the summer driving season. There’s the old chestnut about a supply concern as refineries stop production to switch from winter to summer fuel formulations. This is always good for an additional 10 – 20 cents a gallon price increase. But here’s what I don’t understand: if refiner-

ies know that they will be down for a while each spring, why not over produce before the conversion?

Stay with me here, you will see a theme.

Analysts say that the reason crude oil prices are rising is because Saudi Arabia and Russia have successfully limited their production, drying up some of the oversupply in the global market. It should also be noted that domestic oil production is setting records.

According to a story by CNBC, “U.S. crude oil production broke 10 million barrels a day in November for the first time since production peaked in 1970, at the start of a decades long decline. The U.S. is the world’s third largest oil producer, and its status is growing. Russia is the largest, with about 11 million barrels a day.”

So, we are producing more oil here than in nearly half a century, and prices continue to rise?

I wasn’t good at economics, but I believe the rule is the larger the supply, the lower the price and vice versa.

Oh, then there’s the recent development of investors purchasing oil and gas futures for a higher return on their investment. Speculation in the markets in the past has driven up the cost of oil and gasoline with no supply and demand indicators of a need for a higher price.

You and I pay more money at the pump – money that we would have spent on other items – and eventually, the economy suffers.

Did I mention that the president’s announcement of pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal caused oil prices to rise, even though our friends in Saudi Arabia are ready to make up the difference of the oil that Iran provides?

Yes, that’s a thing.

In short, we will all pay more for gasoline for no real apparent reason. As always, we will simply have to pay more and take it.

It will take a while before the people who run things – people who never pay for their own gasoline or pump it – realize that they need to do something.

If the president fancies himself the friend of the common man, here’s an opportunity to use his position to shame oil companies into less gouging.

Don’t hold your breath, you will turn very blue waiting for that to happen.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

GRANTSBURG SENIORS

by Patzy Wenthe

Dear Editor, Wisconsin has made considerable progress when it comes to encouraging motorists to wear their safety belt every time they travel. Over the last decade, Wisconsin’s safety belt use rate has increased from about 74 percent (in 2009) to nearly 90 percent today.

While that’s encouraging, we still see far too many people who make the dangerous - and frankly - irresponsible decision to not wear a safety belt. As part of national efforts to encourage all motorists to buckle up, Burnett County Law Enforcement Officers will be joining law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin as part of the annual Click It or Ticket mobilization May 21 to June 3.

The reason we enforce Wisconsin’s mandatory safety belt law is not to write citations - but to save lives and prevent needless injuries. Consider for a moment that the 10 percent of Wisconsin motorists who fail to buckle up account for nearly half of the drivers and passengers killed in traffic crashes each year.

In Wisconsin, motorists can be stopped and cited for failing to wear a safety belt.

In addition, drivers can also be cited for every unbuckled passenger in their vehicle.

During Click It or Ticket - and throughout the year - we want all motorists to be safe, abide by all traffic laws, and always remember to buckle up - every seat, every trip.

Sheriff Wilhelm Grantsburg Chief Schinzing Siren Chief Sybers Webster Police Department Dear Editor, This message is to express my appreciation to those who organized the fabulous 2018 “Party for a Lifetime” and 2018 Sole Burner - and those who participated in those events in any and every way!

Being very presumptuous and speaking for all of us who have cancer, it felt like you participated in those events for each of us individually. I find it so humbling to know that so many people devoted time, money, and energy that ultimately impacts each of us - it felt so personal. A simple thank you isn’t enough, but we are so grateful, thank you.

“Bob”

I’m sure everyone found something wonderful about this weekend. Spring is in full swing, as the sounds of mowers and weed whippers filled the air! Or the birds singing loudly to announce their work. Even though we need rain, you were probably glad it didn’t rain on your day.

Many took time to honor mothers, grandmothers or the special women in your life by helping with chores around the house or yard, giving a beautiful card or floral arrangement, or having a favorite meal out so no one had to cook. Or maybe you spent some time in reflection of those who are no longer with us.

We had our monthly potluck and had our usual assortment of food. We had a nice crowd and people stayed for social time after the potluck. We played 500 in the afternoon. We ended up having seven full tables.

I hope all you mothers had a nice day doing things you enjoy with your families. My sons and grandson were home the weekend before Mother’s Day. It is always fun to spend time with the family.

Rose Miller, Barb Geske and Diane Norman decorated for spring. Rose’s magic fingers did a nice job on the basket of flowers for the piano.

The seniors would like to thank the Village crew (Jim, Virgil, and Kent) for

doing such a great job keeping the streets and sidewalks free of snow and ice. They work hard to keep our village looking nice. Thanks guys!

Our 500 winners were Butch Connor, Arnie Borcheert, Barb Geske, Marilyn Niles, and Roger Greely. Lorna Erickson got the 9 bid. Spade winners were Lorna Erickson, Julie Schauer, Sue Christensen, Marilyn Niles and John LaFond. Gerry Vogel and Virginia Martin shared the 9 bid.

Dates to mark on your calendar: • May 17 — Monthly meeting, 9:30 a.m.

• May 19— Armed Forces Day • May 28 —Memorial Day (don’t forget to buy your poppies)

Are you enjoying the sunshine? We are loving the spring changes with the ice and snow gone and the green grass.

Spring brings a season of many things that need to be done like window washing, planting gardens, et cetera but it is a joyful season. I love to hear the birds, the loons and all the other spring noises.

I see the paper is advertising lots of garage sales. It seams like most churches in the area have a garage sale along with bake sales to make money for the church.

Siren is having a clean up day on Saturday, May 12, where you can drop off items and get rid of things like furniture and appliances. This is a nice way to get rid of some things we no longer need.

Governor Walker joins Vice President Pence in Milwaukee to talk tax relief for Wisconsin’s hardworking families MILWAUKEE – Governor Scott Walker joined Vice President Mike Pence at the America First Policies ‘Tax Cuts to Put America First’ panel in Milwaukee today to discuss the positive impact that state and federal tax relief initiatives are having on Wisconsin families.

“Since 2011, we have provided more than $8 billion in cumulative tax relief at the state level for Wisconsin’s hardworking families,” said Governor Walker. “This includes our $100-Per-Child Tax Rebate, the August Back-To-School Sales Tax Holiday, and the elimination of Wisconsin’s state property tax. And now, thanks to the federal government’s largest tax overhaul in a generation, the typical Wisconsin family of four is set to save an additional $2,508 annually. That’s real money for real people.”

Through the end of the 2017-19 state budget, the cumulative impact of savings to Wisconsin taxpayers will exceed $8 billion. Plus, for the first time since 1931, there is no Wisconsin state property tax: 100 percent of Wisconsin’s property

taxpayers saw a 100 percent reduction in their state property tax bill. According to the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau, both property and income taxes will be lower in 2018 than they were in 2010.

The Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed by the U.S. House and Senate on December 20, 2017, and signed into law by President Donald Trump on December 22, 2017. It is the largest tax law change since the tax cuts signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1986.

The law makes a number of substantial

changes to America’s tax system, including: • Doubling the Child Tax Credit (CTC) from $1,000 to $2,000, with $1,400 of that being refundable.

• Reducing individual income tax.

Previously, the seven brackets were 10, 15, 25, 28, 33, 35, and 39.6 percents. Under the new act, the brackets are 10, 12, 22, 24, 32, 35, and 37 percents.

• Nearly doubling the standard deduction. Previously, the deductions were $6,350 (single) and $12,700 (married filing jointly). Now, the deductions are $12,000 (single) and $24,000 (married filing jointly.).

• Effectively repealing the Affordable Care Act individual mandate by reducing the penalty to $0 in 2019.

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue has determined that married joint filers with two children at home and a median adjusted gross income for a family of four will see an annual tax decrease of $2,508.

Two requests all about money for administration committee JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY––The Administration committee on Monday morning asked for more financial information for two separate requests. The first was for a $25,000 one-time donation to the Burnett County Humane Society and the second was to approve two new jailer/dispatch positions.

Peggy Tolbert of the Humane Society of Burnett County, Inc. came back to the administration committee in hopes of getting her funding request approved by the committee. The request is to help the humane society remodel a building they recently purchased at 7410 County Road D. “This new project has to be sustainable for us,” Tolbert said. “We will fail at expanding or growing at our current facility. The new building is our only sustainable option.”

Their new building needs extensive remodeling. Tolbert said the lease for 30 years has already been paid off.

“It was one dollar a year for 30 years, we paid it off up front,” Tolbert said.

Tolbert told a story about a large dog that’s face was full of quills from a porcupine, it cold not eat and was at least 30 pounds underweight.

“The dog was eventually brought into the humane society and from there it was taken to an emergency veterinarian in Spooner,” Tolbert explained. “People expect the hu-

mane society to take care of these things.”

She brought a list of donors that donate monthly or annually to the humane society that was 22 pages long and said that 90 percent of their donations carry over from year to year.

This is the third time Tolbert has presented to the committee in hopes of getting this funding.

During that time she has gone to the towns associations and has asked for $500 per municipality in the community. She said she has received about 50 percent of the projected $1,200.

County Supervisor Gerald Pardun said that the Town of Swiss, where he also serves as a supervisor, has given $1,000 annually for a number of years. He added that the humane society provides “excellent services.”

Tolbert said that they hope to have a doggy day care center as well as cat and coffee times where senior citizens can come in and spend some time with cats.

County Supervisor Jeremy Gronski, pointed out that the humane society is a non-profit and asked the question why is this non-profit the one that would get the money.

He prefaced the comment by saying he does not wish to sound cold, but the committee should be focused on the money.

Tolbert than said she would come back to the committee with more information on their financials.

Jailer/dispatch update Jail Administrator Mark Schmidt brought a packet full of data in hopes of getting two new jailer/dispatch positions approved after getting the same positions approved earlier this month at the public safety meeting.

Schmidt explained that by approving these positions they would not have to pay so much overtime costs and would not have to budget so much for reserve workers.

County Administrator Nate Ehalt, said that whenever positions are added somewhere it is inevitable that services or a position will be cut somewhere else due to the levy restrictions to the county.

The positions would, with full benefits, cost around $64,500 for each position.

Schmidt said he would hope he could get both jailer/dispatchers working by September 1.

However the committee made no decision and said they would put it off until they have more information.

Siren Police find more marijuana in bust JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

SIREN –– Two Siren residents were arrested for maintaining a drug trafficking place in the village after over half a pound of marijuana was found in their apartment. Police also found a long rifle, multiple ammunitions and drug paraphernalia.

Roger A. Mulroy, 58, was also charged with possession of marijuana, felon possessing a firearm and a probation violation. Heidi R. Mulroy, 40, was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and both charged with possession of THC with intent to deliver (>2001000 grams).

Roger Mulroy According to the police report, they recovered 231.59 grams of marijuana, a scale, pre-packaged baggies, allegedly ready for sale, along with $511.

A probation and parole agent called Siren Police officer Trevor Thiex after they had detained Roger Mulroy at his apartment at 7720 Johnson Street for allegedly having marijuana.

Heidi Mulroy Theix arrived at the apartment, which is located directly behind the police department offices, and went in with Roger. Roger identified one of the chairs in the residence and told Theix that there was marijuana in the chair’s seat cushion.

The material weighed out to 1.55 grams and a field test of the material came back positive for THC. At this point Roger was no longer detained, but was under arrest.

DON’T SWEAT IT! We are about to enter the summer season. Think grilling out, swimming, ďŹ shing and hammock-lounging.

Unfortunately, along with these wonderful things come a few summer annoyances: mosquitoes, severe storms and “sweaty toiletsâ€?. By “sweaty toiletsâ€?, I mean the build-up of condensation on the outside of the toilet tank. This occurs when the moisture in warm, humid summer air condenses on cold surfaces. A toilet-tank full of cold water represents a very large, cold surface. In many cases, the moisture buildup can be severe enough to cause more serious problems like molding or rotting of adjacent oors, walls or trim.

HERE ARE SEVERAL IDEAS TO REDUCE CONDENSATION ON YOUR TOILET TANK: First, running your central air conditioning system (if you have one) on humid days will take much of the latent moisture out of the air; this may reduce condensation considerably.

Second, consider replacing your toilet with a new model that has an insulated tank. These models typically “sweat� very little or not at all.

Finally, if you can’t ďŹ nd an insulated toilet that suits your fancy, consider supplying your toilet with “temperedâ€? water.

This involves installing a special valve that mixes cold and hot water, allowing the water going to your toilet to be room temperature rather than cold.

Amsterdam Slough County Supervisor Emmett Byrne came to the meeting looking for help as he attempts to get the water level of the Amsterdam Slough, a wildlife area northwest of Siren off of County Road D, lowered.

Byrne said he is going around to a number of villages and towns looking for support to lower the Amsterdam Slough. He told the Siren Village Board that current high water levels are having a massive impact on Crooked Lake.

Byrne said he has asked the DNR to lower the damn at Amsterdam Slough because the high water level on Crooked Lake is eroding the shoreline. “It’s the highest I’ve ever seen,� Byrne said. “The DNR told me that this higher level is the new normal water level. Soon it’ll be on Highway 35 there.�

Byrne is hoping he can get the support from municipalities and take that to the county board for approval to put pressure on the DNR. The board approved to support Byrne’s resolution.

SIREN –– The village board room in Siren was surprisingly full when President Dave Alden called their monthly meeting to order last week. The attendance was related to an agenda item for supporting a resolution on opening up the Gandy Dancer Trail for ATV use during the summer.

Members from the Lake Country Pedalers sat patiently as they were given time to voice their concerns about opening up the trail for ATVs. Steve Pearson of Oakland spoke first. He said that he believes bicyclists will stop using the trail if it is opened up to ATV or UTV use in the summer. “I’ve been a bicyclist my whole life and have been riding the Gandy Dancer Trail since its creation,�

Pearson said. “I’ll stop using the trail, as will others, over safety concerns if motorized vehicles are openly using it during the summer.�

Pearson added that the ATV and motorized vehicles get the trail for the winter. “Let’s not take away the one place for bikers in the county,� Pearson said. “We should be doing more for the trails. Like in Polk County they’re putting up kiosks on the Gandy.�

The Pedalers have 12 organized rides over the summer and eight organized rides planned for the fall.

Karen Howe, Siren resident and business owner, wrote a letter to the board saying that opening the Gandy trail to ATVs “will essentially close down the trail for use by bikers, walkers and runners.�

Mary Moe reminded the committee that last fall the DNR released a study that says Polk and Burnett counties need more non-motorized trails.

Former Siren Village President Larry Blauhauvitz said bikers look for a place with no traffic. “The Gandy is the only place I can ride in the county that I’m not consistently looking over my shoulder for potential traffic,� Blauhauvitz said.

He said the three things he looks at when going on a trail are will there be cars, will there be dogs and what is the surface like. “It’s not blacktop on the Gandy, but it’s packed down and hard. Great for bikes,� Blauhauvitz said. “ATVs make large ruts and that loosens the gravel, which is very dangerous for bicyclists.�

Blauhauvtiz reiterated the same statement as Pearson with regards to sharing the Gandy throughout the year. Motorized ATVs and snowmobiles in the winter and during the summer opened to bikes, walkers and runner sis working was his main point.

Former County Supervisor Chuck Awe was at the meeting, and he told the village board about a group of individuals from California that specifically flew into the Burnett County Airport because it was such close proximity to the Gandy. “These were high-end executives and doctors that were in the area for a conference,� Awe said. “They rented bikes and rode from Webster to Frederic and then to Siren.�

Awe spoke with a few of them and they told him it’s such a beautiful area and they were thankful to have the opportunity to ride the Gandy.

Siren Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Chris Moeller, said both groups are valuable to the economy of Siren. She said nation-wide, bicyclists add $133 million to the economy and ATV riders add $199 million (bikes don’t purchase fuel.) “Young people and families are generally looking for silent sports like walking or biking,� Moeller said. “There are also lots of ATV enthusiasts up here as well. It has to be possible to meet the needs of both groups.�

As the Village felt they did not have all of the facts and figures needed to make a decisions, Dave Alden

suggested that they table the issue until the County Board of Supervisors discusses it. It is not on the County Board’s May agenda at this time.

Webster names Wedin as police chief JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

WEBSTER –– The Village of Webster has a new Chief of Police in Stephenie Wedin. The village board had a special meeting on May 2 to approve offering the position to Wedin and according to Trustee Sarah Casady an offer was made and accepted by Wedin.

At the monthly full board meeting last Wednesday, they unanimously approved the hire. Wedin is currently a sergeant with the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department.

The Webster Village Board has delayed paving Bass Avenue due to an increase in asphalt costs in the aftermath of the Husky Energy refinery explosion last month. Prices have already risen 25 to 30 percent on materials and is expected to continue to rise over the summer.

Village Trustee Tim Maloney suggested mailing letters out to Bass Avenue residents explaining why the project is being delayed and the rest of the board agreed.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Report: worker shortage in Wisconsin long-term care industry MADISON—A study by a coalition of Wisconsin health care organizations says the state’s shortage of long-term care providers is continuing to grow.

The “Long-term Care Workforce Crisis” report found that about 1-in-5 direct caregiver positions in Wisconsin are unfilled, up from 1-in-7 positions in 2016, Wisconsin Public Radio reported . The report was assembled by the Wisconsin Health Care Association, the Wisconsin Center for Assisted Living, the Wisconsin Assisted Living Association, LeadingAge Wisconsin and the Disability Service Provider Network.

Beginning wages are deterring potential workers from applying for positions, with the median hour starting wage at $10.75, the report said. Other starting positions outside of the health care industry have hourly starting wages at $12 an hour.

Facilities are cutting back services

because they don’t have enough staff, despite growing demand for long-term care, said Sarah Bass, the operations and communications director of the Wisconsin Assisted Living Association.

The state’s low rate of Medicaid reimbursement plays a large role in keeping provider wages down, the report said.

Lawmakers added about $60 million for Medicaid reimbursement for skilled nursing care in the latest state budget.

The state should continue such efforts to address the issue, the coalition said.

Other initiatives are also trying to address the long-term issue.

The WisCaregiver Career Program aims to recruit, test, train and retain 3,000 newly certified nursing assistants, said John Vander Meer, executive director of the Wisconsin Health Care Association and Wisconsin Center for Assisted Living.

About two-thirds of the state’s nursing home residents receive Medicaid.

Village board approves leaving U.S. Bank Vincent Zilka was in the crowd and he suggested getting the property owners’ insurance providers involved saying they would be able to put more pressure on them than the village could.

“Let the insurance companies deal with that stuff,” Stone said.

The board did not take any action, but did instruct Barton to keep a close eye on the situation.

JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

GRANTSBURG –– The Village of Grantsburg has been courted and will be leaving U.S. Bank and will be transitioning all their accounts to Community Bank, a process that will take several months.

Village Treasurer Sheila Meyer said it began when the village was approached by a bank with a proposal earlier this year and she started looking at all other options for the village.

Meyer said one of the draws to Community Bank is they have a fewer transaction fees than U.S. Bank.

Grantsburg’s Administration committee made the suggestion last month to make the change and on Monday night, the full board approved the switch with one opposing vote from Trustee Russell Stone.

Village President Larry Ebersold said that the change is due to corporate issues and added, “they’ve gotten too big for their britches.”

Community Development Block Grant Before the official village board meeting two public hearings were held on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Wisconsin Avenue Assessment. S.E.H. was looking for public input. They did not receive any.

“We’ve brought several resolutions to the board tonight with the overall goal of making downtown Grantsburg better for its residents,” said Dan Penzkover of S.E.H. Design.

Penzkover said the CDBG project is meant to cover as many projects as possible like re-doing sidewalks, making crosswalks more noticeable and possibly replacing street lights. The total cost of the project is estimated at $760,000.

The board passed a number of reso-

•

Dan Penzkover of S.E.H. Design explained the CDBG projects to the board. If they receive the 50/50 grant it will cost the village $380,000.

lutions related to the CDBG including adopting a citizen plan and committing to match funds which would be $380,000.

The CDBG is a 50/50 grant, meaning the grant will cover half the cost and the village will cover the other half.

The board made it clear that if they do not receive the CDBG they will not be moving forward with the project, but will instead continue applying for the grant.

The Wisconsin Avenue project is focused on replacing the water main lines from Brad Street to Oak Street.

That project was bid out to a private company for $302,000. The village has applied for loans and grants to cover some of those costs. Construction on that project is expected to start later in the summer.

Fire Prevention reports Every month Village Trustee Diane Barton brings a long list of fire prevention inspection reports. Fire Chief

Cory Barnette goes around the village and inspects buildings for possible violations like fire exit signs not working, fire extinguishers not serviced or smoke and fire detectors needing replacing.

One of the reports submitted for the meeting said a fire extinguisher had not been properly serviced since 2003.

Barton explained that after Barnette does his initial inspection, he goes back after 30 days for a re-inspection. There are currently no monetary penalties if the issue is not fixed, and Barton said there are a handful of property owners and businesses that simply do not make the proper fixes because there is no recourse if the issues are not taken care of.

Barton said that the St. Croix Falls Fire Department is looking into a fine system for repeat offenders.

Village Trustee Greg Peer was in favor of the decision saying, “it would be nice to have some teeth on these things.”

MADISON—Wisconsin Department of Justice attorneys are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a request to review the conviction of an inmate featured in the “Making a Murderer” documentary series.

Brendan Dassey’s attorneys have argued for years that investigators coerced him into confessing that he helped his uncle, Steven Avery, rape and kill photographer Teresa Halbach in 2005. Dassey was 16 at the time.

In other items: The board approve giving $5,000 to the cemetery association to help them with lawn mowing costs. President of the cemetery association Dick Erickson, said it will cost $10,278 to hire the services of Johnson and Sons. Erickson said it was a three percent increase from last years prices.

Joe Cremin and Sarah McLain of Starwire made their second appearance in front of the village board. They discussed with Chris Bartlett about installing antenna onto the south water tower in Grantsburg. The village attorney will be looking over the contracts.

Mike Jehlicka of the Grantsburg Airport Association came to the meeting to announce his Flying Hamburger Social that will be held at the Grantsburg Airport on June 12.

Georgianne Kleiss was on the agenda to ask about getting a courtesy/loaner car for pilots who come fly into the airport and don’t want to walk or bike everywhere in the village. The board said they would need time to look into how the insurance for that kind of vehicle would work.

A federal judge overturned Dassey’s conviction in 2016 but a federal appeals court reinstated the conviction in December. Dassey’s attorneys asked the Supreme Court in February to review the case.

State Justice Department attorneys argue in briefs filed Thursday that investigators used standard techniques and that Dassey confessed because he had a guilty conscience. They also said they don’t think the case is an appropriate venue for weighing changes to juvenile interrogation law.

Grantsburg and Webster in U.S. News rankings of best high schools INFORMATION FROM USNEWS.COM COMPILED BY LINDA LUHMAN

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in education rankings and civic journalism, released the 2018 edition of Best High Schools on May 9. The rankings evaluate more than 20,500 public high schools nationwide to identify schools that best serve all of their students – including historically underserved populations – and assess the degree to which students are prepared for college-level coursework.

Top-performing high schools receive gold, silver and bronze medal recognition from U.S. News, with gold medals indicating the greatest level of college readiness. Massachusetts, California and Maryland rank one, two and three, respectively, with the highest percentage of eligible schools that received gold and silver medals.

Overall, the rankings emphasize student outcomes, incorporating data on graduation rates and state assessments. Students at the 5,948 schools that receive national recognition from U.S. News graduate at rates that are 12 percentage points higher, on average, than students at other schools throughout the country.

“Top-ranked schools succeed in three main areas: exceeding expectations on state proficiency tests, offering challenging coursework and graduating their students,” said Anita Narayan, managing editor of Education at U.S. News. “We encourage parents to use the Best High Schools rankings and data to research which schools in their state and nationwide are ensuring students are well-equipped for the future.”

In the 2018 U.S. News Best High Schools rankings, five Wisconsin schools earned gold medals, 83 schools earned silver medals and 66 were awarded bronze. Wisconsin tied with New York for the number 11 spot in national rankings, with 17.8 percent of the state’s schools receiving medals and a graduation rate of close to 90 percent.

Grantsburg High is ranked 69 within Wisconsin and has a graduation rate of 88 percent. Students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement® course work and exams. The AP® participation rate at Grantsburg High is 28 percent. The student body makeup is 57 percent male and 43 percent female, and the total minority enrollment is 10 percent.

Grantsburg High is one of two high schools in the Grantsburg School District.

Webster High is ranked 100 within Wisconsin and has a graduation rate of 89 percent. Students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement® course work and exams. The AP® participation rate at Webster High is 33 percent. The student body makeup is 51 percent male and 49 percent female, and the total minority enrollment is 15 percent.

Webster High is the only high school in the Webster School District.

The Best High Schools rankings, available exclusively on usnews.com, feature data on a number of factors, including enrollment, graduation rates, diversity, participation in free and reduced-price lunch programs and the results of state assessments, as well as Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate test data. U.S. News worked with RTI International, a global research firm, to implement the comprehensive rankings methodology.

Grantsburg education recognized nationally LINDA LUHMAN SENTINEL STAFF

GRANTSBURG—Monday evening, the Grantsburg School Board was met with good news regarding the performance of the District and its students. They also reviewed their own structure, considered remodeling bid packets, and discussed open enrollment and maintenance items.

US News Award For the fourth time, Grantsburg High School has been awarded a Best High School Silver Award from US News and World Report. In Wisconsin, approximately 494 were eligible for ranking. Grantsburg High School has also received three bronze awards in the past decade.

Principal Josh Watt said there was a lot of credit to go around.

“We have a very special thing happening here at Grantsburg, and it’s because of the support at all levels. Our teachers at all levels are building the foundation – at the elementary school, at the middle school, our online programming – it’s all part of the programming. So I appreciate that the High School gets credit, but it’s really a District award.”

Technology grant received The Wisconsin Technology Initiative (WTI) recently awarded a grant to Grantsburg Schools. WTI seeks to enhance student academic achievement, skills, and engagement through the effective use of interactive classroom technologies in K-12 schools. They awarded Grantsburg Schools $4000 towards training in integration of Makerspace and $4000 to send a teacher to a two-week FabLab training.

Very generally speaking, makerspaces and fablabs both provide students with hands-on opportu-

nities to build and create projects.

Makerspaces are focused on design, creativity and innovation; fab-labs are focused on producing a working end product.

Elementary Principal and District Curriculum Director Ibby Olson said, “Grantsburg is excited to have the opportunity to develop the programs we offer students in order to ensure high levels of learning for all. Grantsburg has always been at the forefront of adopting new technologies and providing robust access to that technology.

‘This grant will allow us some great opportunities for development of our professional practices in technology.’

Ibby Olson Elementary Principal & District Curriculum Director This grant will allow us some great opportunities for development of our professional practices in technology.”

School Board officers and committees An election of officers led business items. Leadership remained essentially the same with the exception of the Clerk position, which was formerly held by Cindy Jensen.

The new board leadership elected were: President - Dave Dahlberg; Vice-President - Dan Ohnstad; Treasurer - Chris Erickson, and Clerk - Heather Jensen. Additionally, a review of School Board committee representation was completed, with new Board Member Renae Rombach joining the Finance and Policy committees and taking over the CESA Board of Control repre-

sentation from Jason Burkman.

Heather Jensen moved from the Policy committee to the Personnel/ Health Insurance committee.

Remodel bids considered John Erickson of DSGW Architects came to bring the remodel bids to the board for award consideration. Two companies – Market & Johnson of Eau Claire and Gardner Builders of Minneapolis – submitted completed bid packets. The Board voted to enter into contract negotiations with Market & Johnson.

In the next few weeks, representatives from the Building and Ground Committee and Market & Johnson will meet to refine the scope of work and pricing.

In other items • The Board approved a plan to replace the existing telephone system in the middle school with a hosted IP system provided by the telephone company. The current system’s technology is no longer supported, and replacement parts for the server are unavailable.

There has already been one crash of a module and it is unsure how long patches will hold.

• Permission was given to consider and accept open enrollment applications for both the brick-andmortar and iForward schools. The brick and mortar school received two new applications; iForward received 83.

• GMS grades 7 and 8 traveled to St. Paul in April to watch a live performance of the play The Diary of Anne Frank. Principal Bill Morrin noted that “ When the eighth graders head to Washington, DC and visit th Holocaust Museum, it ties it all together. It’s powerful stuff, and it hits home even more so for the kids. It’s a great experience for them.”

Life in a new light SUBMITTED BY: NORTHWEST PASSAGE

What if there was a smartphone app that improved focus, reduced anxiety, enhanced learning, and put you in a better mood? You may be surprised to learn that you already have this app installed, and you use it all the time. It’s your camera. When brought out into nature and focused on our area’s vibrant natural beauty, your camera transforms into a powerful tool for personal wellness.

Nature photography can be used as a therapeutic cornerstone. After just 30 minutes of photography, you’ll feel calm, in charge of your emotions, and ready to take on the rest of life. Anyone who lives or vacations in our area already knows that time in nature makes you feel good. The close interaction with nature that photography requires amplifies nature’s soothing effects. Nature photography also awakens your childlike sense of wonder, curiosity, and fascination. Fascination and wonder are psychologically restorative emotions.

Are you ready to go make some beautiful nature photos? Good locations are especially plentiful in our area, but start near a watery shoreline, such as a canoe landing on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The river is a good subject itself and concentrates wildlife, birds, insects, and plant life. Then take the following four steps to make a great photo: • Observe and identify the photographic subjects that catch your eye.

• Seek out appealing light such as a cloudy day or moderate shade.

• Find an interesting, unexpected angle to capture your subject.

• Finally, hold your camera as steady as possible and click!

It’s as simple as that. Your photos will improve with practice, but more importantly, you’ll begin to experience life in a new light.

They are curious, active, friendly, and purr easily. If you’re looking for a small fluff ball of your own, now’s the time! We don’t expect them to stick around long.

We have another set of kittens waiting in the wings. Those little ones have now opened their eyes, started to wander around outside the bed, and are trying to use the litter box. They won’t be available for a while yet but check HSBC’s Facebook page to get a sneak peek.

Kittens are the cutest! But responsible pet ownership includes spay and neuter. Before any of the Moana clan are adopted, they will be spayed or neutered. Help HSBC continue to provide this crucial service by donating towards the spay and neuter program.

As you can imagine, many kittens have HSBC has been going through some supplies. Current needs right now are cat/kitten toys, KMR formula for kittens, laundry detergent, bleach, and bleach wipes. If you’d like to donate some of these much-needed items, drop them at the Midtown location.

Now that the weather is so nice are you out biking or walking with your dog? There is a nearly effortless way to help donate to HSBC. WoofTrax is an app for your smartphone that donates to the shelter of your choice according to your distance and how many people walk. If you don’t have a dog, but walk or bike, you can still use the app to raise donations. To learn more and get set up, visit www.

STUMP GRINDING AND REMOVING

• Professional • Insured • Free Estimates

Nature: Better than Fiction Bliss. It was warm enough to wear shorts but the mosquitoes hadn’t hatched yet, and the spring ephemerals were blooming. Days like that are rare in the Northwoods. So I kidnapped Mollie, the Cable Natural History Museum’s new curator, to show her Juniper Rock overlook on the North Country Trail.

In the parking area, two shining clusters of bloodroot flowers spread their white petals to the sun. We took that as a good sign. After hiking past numerous small patches of bloodroot we came to a patch of rich woods. Wild leeks created an emerald carpet on one side of the trail, and a rock outcrop glittered with blossoms on the other. I scurried from one patch of flowers to the next with my camera, like following a trail of breadcrumbs.

Hepatica! Spring beauty! Bloodroot! Oh my!

While I found both the purple and the white color morphs of hepatica, all the spring beauties had bright pink pinstripes. I’d just read a post about pure white spring beauty flowers on the “In Defense of Plants” blog, and was hoping to see one. Pigments are chemicals, and most pigments do more than just add color. The white pigments in spring beauty flowers protect them from herbivory and pathogens. On the other hand, if spring beauties with the pink stripes can manage to avoid being eaten, they will attract more insects, which is necessary for cross-pollination and producing viable seeds.

In areas where there are lots of white flowers of other species, the white spring beauties have even more trouble attracting pollinators and become even rarer than usual. With all the gleaming white bloodroot plants nearby, plus white hepaticas, the pink spring beauties had a monopoly on this patch.

I bent down to photograph one pin-striped blossom, and noticed a pale green spider clinging to the underside of the flower cup. “A crab spider,” I exclaimed to Mollie, “it’s lying in wait for an early spring bee!” Then as I leaned in closer for a second photo, I laughed out loud.

EMILY STONE

Patches of bloodroot dotted the forest.

The spider already had a little bee clasped in its jaws. I love when Nature does what you predict. And equally, I love when it surprises you. This was a little of both.

The bee sported a halo of short, white hairs around its thorax, along each skinny leg, and ringing each segment of its black abdomen.

It must have been a female with all of those hairs ready to collect pollen to provision her larvae. The fuzz can also hold in heat produced by its wing muscles and help these early season insects fly even on chilly days.

This little lady looked similar to the hairy-banded mining bee we’ve highlighted in our new museum exhibit, but our Bee Buddy doesn’t emerge from its ground nest until late July when the asters bloom.

Most of its cousins are early spring emergers, though. I used the WI Wild Bee Guide (https://energy. wisc.edu/bee-guide/) to try and key out the bee from my photo.

I narrowed it down to a group of black and black-striped bees that includes mining, sweat, and cellophane bees, which the website noted “is a large group of bees from four different genera that are often difficult to distinguish from each other.”

The crab spider was equally wonderful. As with bees, female crab spiders are bigger than the males.

She can change colors to match her flower, too-from white to yellow to green-although the change takes several days. Crab spiders don’t build webs; they ambush unsuspecting pollinators with their

crab-like front legs. Once prey is caught and subdued with venom, the spider holds its lunch with just her jaw while she slurps up the insect smoothie her enzymes have blended up.

I left the woods in an even deeper state of bliss than I’d entered it. Not only was it a beautiful day, but I’d observed some exciting natural drama.

The rest of my evening was spent getting ready for my summer sabbatical. As I packed natural history books about Alaska into a tub, I chuckled at how much my reading habits have changed since I was a kid. You couldn’t have bribed me to read nonfiction science books back then. I thought they were boring.

I wanted stories with adventure, resourcefulness, mysteries, and magic. Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Boxcar Children, Anne of Green Gables, American Girls, The Bobbsey Twins, and Trixie Belden were my staples. I wrote fiction, too, either set in the pioneer days or magical kingdoms. I loved nature, and my heroines did too. They used medicinal herbs to cure people or conjured up the powers of nature to defeat evil. But today I write only nonfiction and mostly read it, too.

So what changed? Somewhere along the way I realized that the stories in nature are as good as or better than anything we can invent. Spring beauty uses magic potions to defend itself and to attract suitors. Harried mothers are caught in the traps of a color-shifting villain (who turns out not to be evil). Don’t even get me started on the stories of parasites and symbiotic partners.

But none of those stories are apparent without careful observation, which is often carried out by dedicated naturalists, or by scientists conducting experiments.

Adventure, resourcefulness, mysteries, magic –– I still want to read and write about those themes; I’ve just discovered that I don’t need to invent anything. Nature has already done it for me. Scientists are busy translating, and I’m off to write those stories!

HOME SECURITY SYSTEM

Q. Thinking about a video doorbell for your home?

A.

It’s a doorbell, a video camera, and a twoPeter Ward way communications device all wrapped into one—and it gets even better when it’s installed as part of a smart home security system. When a visitor rings your video doorbell, it chimes like an ordinary doorbell but you also get an alert on your smartphone app and you’ll see a live video stream of your visitor.

They can’t see you but you can see them, and communicate through the doorbell’s speaker and microphone. If a delivery driver rings the bell, you can ask them to leave the package inside, unlocking your front door with a smart lock icon that appears on the video call. When they step outside again and close the door, you can lock up just as easily. And there is a do not disturb mode for nap time.

CWS Security can add a video doorbell when installing your smart security system.

will also have short-term goals – you may want to Josh Prusinski, CFP® remodel your kitchen, buy a new car or even take a Financial Advisor cruise. How should you invest for these goals?

For one thing, you’ll need to recognize the difference between long- and short-term investing. When your goal is retirement, you need investments that can grow over time, such as stocks. But for your short-term goals, you don’t need maximum growth potential as much as you need to be reasonably confident that a certain amout of money will be there for you at a certain time.

And that means you need to consider investments that offer significant protection of principal, such as certificates of deposit and investment-grade corporate bonds. You’ll also want to be sure the issuers of these investments are strong and stable.

Ultimately, most of your investment efforts will probably go toward your long-term goals. But your short-term goals are still important – and the right investment strategy can help you work toward them.

Boats may also be added to a homeowner’s policy and, in some cases, a snowmobile can be added as well.

minutes, three to five days a week for health/fitness Jeff Johnson promotion (ACSM 1995). Exercising only three days a week may be enough for previously sedentary clients to improve their fitness, but it will take more exercise to see further improvements. It is important that you do not progress too soon or exercise excessively since both these behaviors can lead to overuse injuries.

However, there is nothing wrong with lifting weights every day, just as there is nothing wrong with running every day. Muscles do not know the difference between lifting weights or running; the only thing muscles know how to do is to contract to overcome a resistance. Whether you need to lift weights every day depends on their fitness goals. For basic gains in strength, you need to lift weights only two to three times a week. For more advanced clients, lifting weights more often is fine, and the training program can be organized using easy and hard days, just as with cardiovascular workouts. Keep in mind that some experts recommend not working the same muscle groups two days in succession, in order to give the muscles time to adapt.

Burnett County law enforcement mobilize for Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement May 21 - June 3

GOVERNMENT CENTER—Burnett Co. Deputies along with the Grantsburg, Siren and Webster Police Departments will join hundreds of other law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin for the annual Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement campaign from May 21 to June 3.

“We enforce Wisconsin’s mandatory safety belt law – not to write citations – but to help save lives and prevent needless injuries,” said Sheriff Wilhelm.

“Right now in Wisconsin, we know that about nine of 10 motorists consistently wear a safety belt. We also know that the 10 percent who fail to buckle up account for nearly half of the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes each year.”

The state’s safety belt use rate of 89.4 percent is the highest ever, but still lags behind the national average. Last year in Wisconsin, there were 58,899 traffic convictions for failure to fasten a seat belt.

In Wisconsin, law enforcement officers can stop and cite motorists for failing to wear a safety belt. In addition, drivers can be cited for every unbuckled passenger in their vehicle. “Again, this is about preventing injuries and saving lives,” Chief Schinzing said. “Before hitting the road, drivers need to ensure

Teens, truck drivers among those least likely to buckle up • Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teens and young adults nationwide.

• Teens are needlessly killed or injured in large part because of a lack of safety belt use combined with inexperience and over-confidence behind the wheel.

• Among those least likely to wear a safety belt in Wisconsin: male drivers of commercial motor vehicles and pick-up trucks.

that everyone is buckled up, every seat, every trip.”

Safety belts save lives and prevent serious injuries • Consistent safety belt use is the single most effective way to protect people from being ejected from a vehicle or thrown around violently inside it during a crash and possibly hitting another vehicle occupant with massive force.

More people are buckling up but improvement is still needed

• Wisconsin’s safety belt use rate is approximately 89.4 percent - an all-time high for the state. Still, this lags behind the national average of 90.1 percent.

• In 2017, nearly half (47 percent) of the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes were not wearing safety belts.

• 10 percent equals half: currently in Wisconsin, about 10 percent of motorists fail to buckle up. Yet this relatively small group accounts for nearly half of the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin car/truck crashes each year.

Costs associated with not using safety belts • Motorists who are hurt or killed in traffic crashes because they didn’t buckle up create tremendous economic losses, such as medical expenses. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the rest of society pays for nearly 75 percent of these economic losses through higher insurance premiums, taxes, and other public funding.

• Economic losses from traffic fatalities and injuries in Wisconsin total an estimated $2.5 billion annually.

• In Wisconsin, drivers can be stopped and cited for failing to wear a safety belt. Also, drivers can be cited for every unbuckled passenger in their vehicle.

Pirates claim conference crown

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

CAMERON—The Grantsburg Pirates captured their 18th West Lakeland Conference title with a 9-5 win over the Cameron Comets on Thursday night.

“It was a good night,” Pirates assistant coach Steve Johnson said. “Our first goal has been met and it is time to focus on the next goal.”

The Pirates started hot, scoring three runs in the top half of the first inning. Leadoff batter, Mackenna Johnson, walked to start the game. Emma Quimby followed with a double. A single by Brooke Quimby scored Johnson. Rachel Tooze picked up a hit to score both Quimbys and give the Pirates a 3-0 lead.

The Comets put up two runs in their half of the first inning to keep the game close.

Grantsburg would scored three more runs in the the second inning. Johnson got the bats going with a single to center field, followed by a single by Emma Quimby. Brooke Quimby doubled to score Emma, and Cassidy Chenal got a single scoring Brooke. Tooze stepped in and hit another single to score Chenal.

In the middle of the second inning, the Pirates were up 6-2 over the Comets.

Again Cameron would score two runs in their half of the inning to keep it close at 6-4.

The third and fourth innings were quick for both teams with no scoring allowed by either defense.

The Grantsburg Pirates are all smiles after the win over Cameron Thursday night which secured the West Lakeland Conference title.

The Pirates picked up three more runs in the top of the fifth inning. This time it was the bottom half of the lineup doing the damage. Rachel Glover started things off with a double followed by a single by Ellie Duncan to score Glover. Olivia Oachs cracked a huge double down the left field line, scoring Duncan. Isabelle Quimby stepped to the plate, hitting a single to score Oachs to make it a 9-4 game.

Cameron would pick up one more run in the bottom of the fifth to end the scoring for the game.

The Pirates scored nine runs on 13 hits.

Rylee Hoffman got the start in the circle for the Pirates and got the win. Chenal came in to finish off the game.

“The Cameron team was very solid and they displayed wonderful sportsmanship in a close game.

We wish them the best in their tournament games,” coach Johnson added. “They gave us some free runs and we gave them some free runs. They had some outstanding players and made great plays of their own. The next game may have been a lot different.”

Impressive

“My pitching philosophy is simple – keep the ball away from the bat” – Satchel Paige.

When a baseball team gets a shutout, it’s noteworthy. It probably means the pitcher was on and the defense was good. A single shutout in the Major Leagues is certainly not unheard of, but still a nice accomplishment. Statistically speaking, there is a shutout once in every seven to eight games. So you will see a couple every day there’s a full slate of games.

What you won’t see, ever, is what Webster has done this season so far.

The 1916 New York Giants hold the MLB record for the longest winning streak of all time with 26. During their streak, they shut out their opponent ten times. The longest shutout streak during their amazing winning streak was three. Three shutouts in a row, and that happened one time. They had two in a row twice, and the rest were mingled in with the rest.

The Webster Tigers this season are 16-2 as of this writing. Of their 16 wins, thirteen of them are shutouts including the last eleven games they have played. No West Lakeland team has scored against them. In Grantsburg’s game against them last week, the Pirates mustered a few runners that got as far as second base but couldn’t string a couple hits together to put a number on the scoreboard.

This is one heck of an accomplishment, no matter what level of ball you’re at since the competition should theoretically be close to the same, it seems in this case that’s not the case.

Webster is ranked number one in Division 3.

If we look at the other number one seeds across Wisconsin it may provide more perspective. Arrowhead (Div. 1) has one shutout this year, Waupun (Div 2) has one shutout this season, Athens (Div 4) has three shutouts this year. Webster has 13.

Want more? Let’s look at the top two teams of each division (excluding Webster, of course) we have 18 among the other top seven teams in the state. That’s an average of 2.5 shutouts per team.

As you may already know, Webster’s head coach Jarrod Washburn, a 1992 Webster graduate, played in the Major Leagues from 1998-2009. He won a World Series in 2002 as the Angels number one starter and finished fourth in the Cy Young Award race that same year.

Some might think he was out there pitching for the Tigers again. Well, kinda. Both of his sons, Jack (Jr.) and Owen (Fr.) have pitched no-hitters this season. Jack struck out 12 in his and Owen struck out eight in his. But, that’s not all Webster has in terms of pitchers. While Jack has already committed to play baseball for Oregon State after he graduates next year, Hunter Rosenbaum (Jr.) has also accepted a Division 1 offer to play for West Virginia. According to many sources Washburn and Rosenbaum are the top two pitching prospects out of Wisconsin.

The shutout thing is beginning to look a little clearer now. At this point it would actually be a shock to see a run scored against these guys.

Caleb Pardun, Brad Sigfrids, and Trevor Gustafson round out a stellar pitching staff for the Tigers. As a staff they have a 1.17 ERA and have a whopping 167 strikeouts that is tops in the state of Wisconsin… by a lot, regardless of division.

An underappreciated part of all of this is Trevor Gustafson as Webster’s every day catcher. He’s a junior as well. He’s pitched some, but his role is primarily behind the plate and he does a great job there.

Webster lost in the State semi-final game last year. Add Hunter Rosenbaum and a lot of experience it certainly looks like another state run, or even a state title, is on the horizon. But, this is baseball, and these are still kids so anything can happen.

One thing is for sure, thirteen shutouts (and maybe counting) in eighteen games is likely something we willl not see again. Until next year when Washburn, Rosenbaum and Gustafson are seniors.

Tigers beat arch rival Grantsburg

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—"I wouldn't normally be pleased after a 6-0 loss, but I thought we played our best ball of the season tonight,” said Pirate coach Pete Johnson after the set back to the Webster Tigers on Thursday.

"We played clean defense, made a couple of run-down outs, pitched well, and put the ball in play a fair amount."

"Webster earned all six of their runs."

The Tigers got two of their scores in the first inning when, with one out, Carsen Stenberg and Jack Washburn both singled and stole bases. Hunter Gustafson singled them both home.

Another two came in the second inning. With two out, Owen Washburn walked and Trevor Gustafson followed with a two run homer.

The third inning saw Jack Washburn single, steal both second and third, and come home on a Hunter Rosenbaum double.

Their last run came in the fourth inning as T. Gustafson got on via a fielder's choice and came home on a Carsen Stenberg double.

"Ricky had the game of his life at third,” praised Coach Johnson.

“He made several very nice plays."

Those plays included a couple run-

downs of Tiger runners getting too far off bases.

Luke Anderson, Bryce Roufs and David Nelson each had a hit for the Pirates.

For the Tigers, Trevor Gustafson, Carsen Stenberg, Jack Washburn and Hunter Gustafson each had two hits. Along with T. Gustafson's homer, both Stenberg and Rosenbaum batted doubles.

Said Coach Jarrod Washburn of the Tigers, “It was a good win.

Grantsburg always comes ready to play. They play good baseball.

They made some good plays tonight.”

“You know you have your work cut out for you when you go up

against a Pete Johnson team.

These guys are always solid. They made the plays, they don't hurt themselves. They throw strikes.

They put the ball in play.”

“They are like every other Pete Johnson team. They are scrappy.”

Regarding Washburn's pitchers tonight, Trevor Gustafson pitched a couple innings “to keep him sharp. We had Jack in there to get his pitch count up and get him ready for this weekend.”

The weekend Coach Washburn was referring to was a trip back to Edgerton, Wisconsin to face some still competition in preparation for the upcoming playoffs.

Pirates fall to Luck/Frederic

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates dropped another conference game to Luck/ Frederic on their home field Tuesday, May 8 by a score of 6-8.

“David (Nelson) pitched a good game, but our gloves let him down,” Pirates head coach Pete Johnson said.

The Pirates took the early lead, scoring two runs in the first inning with Luke Anderson and Bryce Roufs crossing the plate.

L/F answered with one run of their own in the top of the second inning, but the Pirates would match that with a run of their own in the half of the inning to make it 3-1.

The Pirates’ defense let them down again as they allowed two runs to score in the top of the third inning to tie up the game at 3-3.

L/F scored five more in the fifth to take the lead at 8-3.

The Pirates scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, but it was too little, too late.

“It will be good to have a practice tomorrow.

Pirates get exciting win over Lakers

BY STACY COY SENTINEL SPORTS

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates picked up a win over the Shell Lake Lakers on Monday night, but not without a little excitement. A walk-off hit by Luke Anderson to score Austin Wedin in the bottom of the seventh gave the Pirates exactly what they needed to secure the 1-0 victory.

“One run makes for a quick game,” Pirates head coach Pete Johnson said.

The Pirates and the Lakers had gone scoreless the entire game with both teams unable to get the timely hits when needed. The Lakers looked like they were knocking on the door in the top of the seventh inning. With one out and runners on first and second, the batter attempted a bunt which popped in the air. Grantsburg’s pitcher Austin Wedin flew off the mound and dove towards the ball along the third baseline and made the catch as he slid across the infield. He got up and threw to second for the double play to end the inning.

“Austin made a great diving catch to set up the double play,” Coach Johnson said.

“When the bunt popped up, I thought to myself, the only play we have this is if he dives for the catch.”

That spark is just what the Pirates needed as they

headed into the bottom of the seventh.

With two outs, Wedin stepped to the plate and reached on a single. Luke Anderson was next at bat looking to bring in the winning run. The Pirates got a little help as the Shell Lake pitcher was called for a balk, which advanced Wedin to second and into scoring position.

On the next pitch Anderson hit one up the middle to

score Wedin for the win.

“Luke came up big with the two out, two strike single to drive in the winning run in the seventh,” Johnson added.

This was the Pirates’ fourth win of the season.

They will now head to Unity on Thursday night to take on the Eagles. Game time is 5 p.m.

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

MAPLE—The Webster Tigers of the West Lakeland Conference beat the Northwestern Tigers of Maple (Heart of the North) by an 11-0 margin on Monday night.

It was the 11th game in a row by a shut out by the Tigers. When this reporter queried the WIAA office and also Wisconsin Sports Network, the answer came back as no records being kept on consecutive shut out games.

In any event, this season is a milestone for the Tigers as they continue their quest to State. Coach Washburn and his staff have put together a tough, defensive minded and opportunistic team. They will be something to watch as the season winds down and the playoffs begin.

It took until inning two until the Webster team got on the board, this time with four runs. A walk to Hunter Gustafson, a sacrifice, another walk to Brad Sigfrids, a single by Trenton Wols, a walk to Austin Spafford, with singles by Owen Washburn and Trevor Gustafson

put the four marks in the book.

Three more were added in the third inning. With one out, singles by the Hunters, Gustafson and Rosenbaum, a walk to Sigfrids and two additional singles by Spafford and Owen Washburn produced the runs.

Single runs came across in the fourth and fifth innings.

Two additional tallies were scored in the seventh. With two out, Owen Washburn walked, T. Gustafson singled and Carsen Stenberg doubled them home.

T. Gustafson and O. Washburn led the hit brigade for Webster with three each. H. Gustafson had two.

Four Tigers had two RBI's apiece.

Trevor Gustafson, Jack Washburn and Hunter Rosenbaum combined for the shut out. Only one hit was allowed to the Northwestern team with 10 strikeouts recorded and only two walks.

The Webster team will have faced Siren on Tuesday and will do back-to-back games with Luck/Frederic on Thursday and Friday.

LUCK—The Grantsburg Pirates faced the Luck/Frederic co-op team for the second time in a week when they traveled to Luck on Saturday for a matinee game.

After dropping the first matchup earlier in the week, the Pirates looked to avenge that loss.

They were successful, taking a commanding 10-5 win.

“Our seventh inning bats were the difference today,” Pirates head coach Pete Johnson said.

They had a good day at the plate, racking up 11 hits in the game.

The Pirates scored two runs to start the game, while holding L/F to one run to take an early 2-1 lead.

L/F tallied two runs in the bottom of the second to overtake the Pirate lead, 3-2. That is how it

would stay until the fifth inning when the Pirates brought three across the plate to retake the lead, 5-3.

Both teams scored one run in the sixth before the Pirates sealed the win with four runs in the top of the seventh. L/F were able to score one more in the bottom of the seventh, but it was not enough.

Luke Anderson had a big day with three hits to go along with three RBI’s to lead his Pirate squad.

His coach agreed, “Luke had a good day swinging the bat.”

Bryce Roufs and David Nelson both did well at the plate as well with each tallying two hits and two RBI’s.

“Ricky (Clark) and Sterling (McKinley) teamed up on the mound to be effective,” Coach Johnson added. Clark got the win for the Pirates.

Gustafson moved to third on a Carsen Stenberg single and came home on a ground out ball.

THORP—The Grantsburg Pirates are now 16-1 on the season after recording their first loss of the season at the Gilman-Thorp Slamfest on Saturday. They were 2-1 on the day with a 7-5 win over Stratford, a 8-10 loss to Medford and an exciting 8-7 win over Spencer.

“All year long we talk about how one simple play can make the difference in a close game,” Pirates assistant coach Steve Johnson said. “Today, was quite strange. It is a good thing that we can hit...... because today, we survived a total of 35 stolen bases, errors, wild pitches, hit by pitches, and passed balls to still win two games. We could have been 0-3 today—We could have been 3-0 today.

Anxious to garden? Visit the Master Gardeners plant sale May 19 SPOONER—The UW-Extension North County Master Gardener Volunteers Association (NCMGVA) is holding their 17th annual plant sale on Saturday, May 19 at the Spooner Agriculture Research Station. Though hundreds of the plants will be at the sale, they tend to sell out quickly and gardeners are advised to go early for the best selection.

The sale begins at 8 a.m. at the Spooner Ag Research Station on Hwy 70 east of Spooner and runs until the plants are sold out.

New for the 2018 plant sale a Pollinator 6 Pack featuring, Wild Lupine, Swamp Milkweed, Blazing Star Liatris, Butterfly Weed, Black-eyed Susan, New England Asters.

Specially chosen heirloom tomatoes and a variety of peppers will be featured

D

at the sale. Heirloom tomatoes were the cornerstone of the group’s very first plant sale. Since then, NCMGVA has increased the number of heirloom choices and added a few of their favorite hybrid varieties. New this year is the Geranium Kiss, a stocky dwarf plant that produces loads of golf-ball-sized bright red fruit. The tomato and pepper plants are started from seed and grown by volunteers specifically for the sale.

The proceeds go toward supporting the Teaching and Display Garden that is open to the public on Orchard Lane, just east of the Ag Research Station; for garden-related grants; for promoting horticulture outreach and education in Sawyer, Washburn, and Burnett counties; and other horticultural projects.

They find common ground in their appreciation for growing plants, whether edible or ornamental. They are trained volunteers who assist the University of Wisconsin-Extension staff by helping people in the community better understand horticulture and the environment, and they donate thousands of hours’ worth of their time each year toward that end.

Rhubarb makes overly sweet recipe perfect With all the snow during this unusually long winter, I expected my rhubarb to be ready in June, but was pleasantly surprised to see large, tender stalks growing last week.

Rhubarb has been a favorite spring treat of mine for years.

It doesn’t matter what it’s in–pies, jams or something else–I love the flavor. It adds a tang and sourness that no other food can impart.

Its texture makes Wild Chow experimenting fun for Lisa Erickson home cooks. It can be prepared raw and added to compotes or salsas. It will impart a sour bite with a chalky dryness that reminds me of older chardonnay wine.

Cooked rhubarb will lose the chalkiness, but the sour flavor will still shine through.

Many people think rhubarb is too sour and will pair it with other fruits like strawberries. Strawberries aren’t much sweeter, but have a less acidic profile that tricks our tongues into thinking strawberries are sweeter. I like to add rhubarb to baked goods that

release liquid into the batter. If you do use frozen berries or rhubarb instead of fresh, bake the bars five minutes longer.

Rhubarb Blondies 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 large egg 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb (cut into 1/4-inch pieces) or strawberries

are too sweet, in my opinion, such as blond brownies. The rhubarb helps cut the sweetness and makes this extra sweet treat perfect!

If you don’t have access to homegrown rhubarb, you can find it at the grocery store or farmers markets in early spring. Rhubarb is sometimes sold with part of the leaf still attached to the stalk. However, the leaves are not

safe to eat. They can make you sick, so trim off and discard the leaf end of the stalk.

If you can’t find fresh rhubarb, strawberries work well, too. You can also use frozen fruit, like blueberries. Each year, before the end of the rhubarb harvest, I freeze some so I can make these bars all year long. I add the pieces to the batter when they are still frozen, so they don’t

The spring we wait for is already here

Pastor Marilyn CrossďŹ eld First Lutheran Church Cushing

The Spring we wait for is already here.

These were the words I heard as we worshiped at our Apple River Pastors conference a few weeks ago. We gather once a month to learn, support and worship together. At this worship, the pastor had asked lay leaders to share the messages they had given during their Lent/Easter season. One of them shared this message: The Spring we wait for is already here.

As we worshiped after a busy Easter season, with the news of an impending snowmageddon, these words were balm to my weary soul. We have longed for the spring

that just won’t come. We have longed to feel, hear, smell, and touch the things that are summer.

It can be hard to pull ourselves out of that longing. That can be true in our spiritual lives as well. We long for happier times.

Times when all is right with the world, our relationships, or jobs, our health. The list can go on. We long for better times so we can be happy. Happiness is an emotion, it comes and goes. But joy is found in Christ. Christ is a Light that shines in the darkness, and reminds us that we are not in the darkness alone (John 1:5). In that we can find joy, in

The spring we wait for is already here. Do we see it. Do we live into it? Jesus Christ has Risen, He has risen indeed. As we move into this summer season, may our eyes be opened to all the ways Jesus is here. May the beauty of God’s world fill us and sustain us so we can live into the joy Christ has for us. May the Risen Christ shine light into our weary souls and send us out to shine the light of Christ for all to see.

Building a love of reading one scale at a time

SUBMITTED

Dragon Tales is a reading incentive program conceived and executed by a team from the Siren National Honor Society.

SIREN—Dragon Tales is a reading incentive program developed and implemented by Siren National Honor Society members North Hinze, Cordell Fischer, and Trevor Stanford. This service project was developed to help the Siren Elementary students improve their reading skills. Over a four-week period, kindergarten through fifth grade students were challenged to read more “tales” in order to earn more “scales” so they could grow their individual and class dragon tails. Top readers from each class earned special Dragon Dollars and dragon prizes each week. At the end of the program, the top two readers earned a trip the Dragon Den to get some Dragon merchandise and the top reading class earned a root beer float Dragon party.

Congratulations to the top readers Talon Imme - second grade and Diamond Shabaiash - fifth grade. The top class with over 10,800 reading minutes was Mrs. Hanson’s first grade class. All

of the students in her class put in extra effort to read more, so much so that the big dragon had to grow a longer tail to accommodate all extra scales.

Many success stories were heard about kids putting in extra reading time and working hard to earn more scales on their dragon. Here is one of the teacher’s feedback on the Dragon Tales program: “Personally, I am so grateful because although you motivated many to read, you helped one of my students create a lifelong love of reading. He went from reading 10 minutes a night to reading two hours a night. And even though it has finished, he made the comment that he “just loves reading now.” His fluency rate has increased greatly, as well, because of this reading (program).

Can’t beat that. It is one thing for me as a teacher to encourage children to read, but it means far more when they hear it from high schoolers whom they look up to.”

Top individual readers Talon Imme(second from left) and Diamond Shabaiash(second from right) earned a trip to the Dragon Den. Pictured with the top readers are Siren NHS members Cordell Fischer(l), Trevor Stanford(c), and North Hinze (r).

Mrs. Hanson’s first grade class enjoys their reward. As the class with the most reading minutes, they earned a root beer float party with the Dragon.

Let em' ride at Siren Nationals Saturday was a beautiful day for some radar runs. Dozens of drivers and many more spectators came out to enjoy the weather and the cars at the Burnett County Airport. The Siren Nationals is a radar run, classic car show and a swap meet all rolled into one day.

The Siren Nationals in fall will be held at the airport on September 15.
