Burnett County Public Health announced that a softball tournament in Siren had three attendees that tested positive for COVID-19. “The Burnett County COVID-19 Response Team is aware of three attendees of this event who have tested positive for COVID-19,” a press release stated. The response team was in contact with event organizers. Organizers were asked to alert and notify all attendees of the weekend tournament. Part of that has been sharing the message on social media. “We appreciate the quick response and cooperation we have received from the event hosts,” the COVID-19 response team statement said. Burnett County still has one confirmed case of COVID-19 among residents. These three individuals were spectators of the tournament and they are not Burnett County residents. Public Health later clarified that officials learned about the positive cases through contact tracing.

On Monday night the Grantsburg village board unanimously voted to postpone one of the largest events held annually in Burnett County. A Watercross organizer asked the village board for a vote, saying the event needs the village's support. Rick Quimby, Grantsburg Watercross Executive Director, spent the last month talking to anyone he could about Watercross. He noticed that similar large venue events are being canceled, citing Minnesota and Wisconsin State Fairs along with Pine and Polk County fairs and the Spooner Rodeo. Quimby continued that there are two sides to this – one side is worried about the health risks and the other side has told Quimby they “gotta have it” this year. He added these are longtime attendees that told him “we need to get out and do things, take the risk.”

Village President Mike Longhenry said several people have discussed it with him about the concerns they have abut large events being canceled. “At the grocery store, people come up to me and say, 'we do this, everybody and their brother is coming to Grantsburg,'” Longhenry said.

Food distribution ‘very important to community’ JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
There will be a special food distribution event at Caring Hearts Thrift Shop in Webster on June 18 for households in need of assistance during these difficult times. The food is free and each household will receive one box of produce, one box of mixed dairy and one box of meat (chicken and pork.) The event, sponsored by Second Harvest
will be a drive-thru event beginning at 9 a.m. This extra food has been given by Second Harvest as part of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program. The Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, or CFAP, provides vital financial assistance to producers of agricultural commodities who have suffered a five-percent-or-greater price decline or who had losses due to market supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19

and face additional significant market costs. Caring Hearts at 26356 S. Lakeland Ave. in Webster, formerly Connections, hold regular food distributions on the first and third Thursdays of the month.

by the Siren and Webster Lions and the Webb Lake Community Club. The third Thursday of the month distribution is held by the Yellow Lake Food Distribution, God’s Serving People. These are drive-through events and Penberthy said they start at 9 a.m. with cars lining up around the building. “It’s very important to our community,� Penberthy said. She added that numbers have been steadily increasing since COVID-19 forced many Wisconsinites to stay at home over the last three months. Both events help a lot of families across the county. They help up to 700 families a month. On Wednesday the boxes are packed and on Thursday they are distributed. The process for getting food from the food distribution is simple. People need to arrive at Caring Hearts Thrift Shop in Webster. There they will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire asking how many people are living in the household and what age groups (adult, senior, child, etc.) are in the house. The Indianhead Community Action Agency (ICAA) food distribution is available to anyone who needs it. Penberthy said people come from all over for the help they provide. “Rush City, Dairyland, Cumberland, Centuria and a bunch of other communities in between,� Penberthy said. However, the ICAA food pantry is only open to Burnett County residents Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information on the food distribution visit Caring Hearts at facebook.com/caringheartsthriftshop
Campground expansion approved despite residential opposition JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
Residents took almost an hour to voice their opposition to an expansion of a campground in Danbury. The property is the former Houman’s Campground. The conditional use permit (CUP) was for additional RV units and cabins at the campground that was purchased by North Camp Properties II LLC, operated by Supervisor Steve Austin and Mike Hershberger. In a split vote of 5-2 the CUP was approved for 23 new camp sites. Following the roll call vote the spacious Highway Shop filled with boos, discouraging comments and shouts of “We’re not done yet.� The expansion was opposed by the group Preserve the Minerva Chain. They are concerned about water quality of lakes and rivers, the campgrounds impact on area wetlands and the impact of the community’s roads and infrastructure. “Houman’s Resort, also known as North Camp Properties II, LLC, has proposed expansion of ex-
isting RV campsites, mobile homes, cabins, storage units and associated infrastructure. The increase in use and density will significantly affect water quality, increase the spread of aquatic invasive species and degrade shore-land habitat,� said Rick Remington, the conservation director at Landmark Conservancy. “These high-density campgrounds are becomRick Remington ing increasingly common in Conservation Director at the Northwoods. Without a Landmark Conservancy champion to counter them, they will continue to impact Wisconsin’s precious water resources.� Following the lengthy public hearing committee members discussed the property and the over 15 additions to the CUP for past violations that will need to be remedied and fixed in the coming months.
‘These highdensity campgrounds are becoming increasingly common in the Northwoods.’
WATERCROSS: Not this year, big economic loss CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
people that talked to her about it had health concerns with the retirement age population in the village. Trustee Greg Peer, owner of Shady Knoll Home said his residents were still on lockdown. “The residents are uncomfortable with a bunch of people around,� Peer said. “That's their opinion and I'm going to side with the residents.� Quimby was not disappointed in the board's decision. “We knew this was the route,� Quimby said. “This is a great event that supports the community. But we understand we need to put the community as a whole first.� Quimby said a 10-year UW-Extension study that suggested Watercross brings in $1 million across the entire county. “This is going to have a huge economic impact,� Quimby concluded. “It's going to have an impact on the entire county not doing it this year.�

Siren moving forward with Fourth of July celebrations
SUNDAY, JUNE 14 Bingo GRANTBSURG— 2 – 4 p.m. Bingo with a progressive pot will be held at the American Legion in Grantsburg. This is an event that is held twice a month on the second and fourth Sundays.
JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
Siren will be holding their annual Fourth of July celebrations this year with a few changes to the festivities. “We’re moving forward with the Fourth of July in Siren,” Village President Dave Alden said. “We’re the only one in Northwest Wisconsin that will be having a parade and I’m very proud of that.” Alden stated that during the parade no candy or any other items will be handed out to parade goers and those who do have handouts will be escorted from the premises. Siren is making plans for other events during the weekend. The street dance that takes place the night of July 3rd is on hold because the scheduled band recently cancelled so the village is looking for another group to play outside on Main Street on Friday, July 3. The Freedom 5K will also be taking place with a few changes. There

‘We’re the only one in Northwest Wisconsin that will be having a parade and I’m very proud of that.’ Dave Alden Siren Village President said. The race will be starting at different intervals, so not all racers will start at the same time to create less congestion. Alden reiterated that
if people are not comfortable with being out during the Fourth of July weekend they can stay home.

et us all take a moment to not be so serious and laugh. After all, laughter is the best medicine. Unless a doctor has advised you to take real medication, then by all means please continue taking that and this column can be a kind of Last week, I wrote about the ridiculousness surrounding a potential COVID-19 vaccine and the conspiracy theories that came along with it. But as I was lying in bed Sunday night, I thought of something even funnier than if the vaccine implanted us all with 5G so Big Brother can track our every move. What if instead some of the scientists working endless hours to come up with a vaccine for this virus to end a global pandemic Sentinel shifted their attention to something helpful and whimsical? Editor That’s right - I’m talking about Jonathan Richie color-coding diseases. Color coordination is a staple amongst humans. Some of the most important things in our societies are color-coded like periodic tables and closet spaces. I’m almost certain scientists should be able to make it so people with COVID-19 turn neon orange. It would be so much easier walking down the street if you saw somebody with a neon orange head and then thought, “they’ve got the virus run away.” It would not feel great for the people with the virus, but they should not be on the sidewalk anyway. If we can put a man on the moon and a camera on the ocean floor to see what’s left of the Titanic, there should be nothing in our way of getting this done. If anything, this could make life easier for all of us. Let’s say you run into an old friend at the grocery store and you did not see their Facebook post about contracting a fatal disease, but luckily there whole left side is red so you know without having to say anything that they don’t have much time left. People with cancer will have purple hands. The possibilities are endless. Pregnant women could have a certain shade, so no man will ever have that odd silence after a woman explains she is not pregnant. This could be very beneficial or very detrimental to society as a whole. Diseases could become a new race. What a headache that could become! Now that I’m thinking this through, it could be utterly disastrous. People with cancerous tumors getting angry at those for showing off that their tumors are benign. Who decides what color goes with what disease? Would people try to get dysentery before a big football game so they wouldn’t have to paint their faces in team colors? No, I don’t think our society is quite ready for color coded diseases. We have enough issues with judging people on their looks.

hope you are enjoying summer and some respite from the cares of coronavirus and the national uproar for social justice after the death of George Floyd last month in Minneapolis. It’s been quite a few weeks, to say the least. As someone who can vividly recall the madness of 1968, I am struck by how little things seem to change in our nation. Issues bubble to forefront and fade over time, only to reappear later in our history. I recently watched the History Channel’s three part documentary about the life of Ulysses S. Grant. It was very well done, in my opinion. Since much of his life involved the From the Publisher’s Civil War and Reconstruction, racial equality and justice and the governDesk ment’s role were common themes. I have learned more about history as Tom Stangl an adult than I ever did in school. It’s h fault f l off my teachers, the subjects are so imnot the mense, even for our relatively young nation, there’s no way they can be covered in a semester or a year. That’s one of the reasons I enjoy reading and watching these types of programs. In addition to dramatizations of events in Grant’s life, military experts and historians offer their opinions to carry the narrative of the story. At the conclusion of the six hours we learn Grant, who was compared to George Washington in stature after his death over a century ago, faded from history as the narrative of the Civil War was recast. The “Lost Cause” was a movement that romanticized the cause of Confederacy as just and about state’s rights and not slavery. Grant was cast as the butcher in this version of thinking and Robert E. Lee as the tragic hero. I’m smart enough to know history is written by the victors and there are two sides to every story. That’s

why learning about Grant’s childhood as the son of abolitionists who married a daughter of a slave owner and how the dual forces formed his thinking and actions was a revelation to me. Grant was a failure many times in many things in his life but excelled in the military and in leading men. He was the logical person to succeed Andrew Johnson as president to do his best with Reconstruction. I found this passage from his first inaugural address in 1869 timeless, in the worst possible way: “The country having just emerged from a great rebellion, many questions will come before it for settlement in the next four years which preceding Administrations have never had to deal with. In meeting these it is desirable that they should be approached calmly, without prejudice, hate, or sectional pride, remembering that the greatest good to the greatest number is the object to be attained. “This requires security of person, property, and free religious and political opinion in every part of our common country, without regard to local prejudice. All laws to secure these ends will receive my best efforts for their enforcement. “I ask patient forbearance one toward another throughout the land, and a determined effort on the part of every citizen to do his share toward cementing a happy union..” Great words 151 years ago. I just wish we didn’t need to heed them in the 21st century. But the great thing is we can learn this lesson now, if we have the will to do so. As always, I welcome your comments.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875
The Burnett County Sentinel was the county’s first newspaper when Matthew Westcott began publishing on Feb. 19, 1875. The Sentinel continued weekly until its building and presses were destroyed by fire in 1909. The business was sold to its competitor. The Journal changed its name to “Journal and Sentinel”, but later reverted to the Journal of Burnett County. When the Journal folded in 1962, Wilbur A. Nelson revived the Burnett County Sentinel. Following his death in 1975, his wife, Marjorie Nelson and son, Gary Nelson operated it until Feb. 1, 1994, when it was purchased by Mainstream Publications. It was then purchased by Eugene Johnson on Dec. 1, 1998.

Why representative democracy matters
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Racism still exists Dear Editor, Hearts are aching as the world witnessed a white police officer brutally kneel on the neck of a handcuffed, unarmed black man, George Floyd, for 8 minutes 46 seconds until he died. There have been countless unarmed black people killed by law enforcement, and the problem of police brutality is real. Police officers who cannot control their actions, and abuse their authority, must be removed from the streets. The recent world-wide protests have evolved from more than a murder of an unarmed black man at the hands of a police officer. This is more than police brutality. This is about 400 years of institutionalized racism in our country. Wealth, health care,
housing, employment, education, and yes, police brutality, are just a few of the inequities in communities of color that have kept people oppressed. For policies to change, we must change how we think about and act towards people of color and hold our elected officials accountable for their actions and policy making. We must educate ourselves and understand the pain, fear, anger and sorrow that have engulfed these communities for far too long. If people say that racism doesn’t exist in their community – look again, look in the mirror. Unconscious or implicit bias is real, and it is a problem. It’s not okay for a black man to fear for his life, from the police, as he leaves his home.
It is not okay for a mother to fear that her black son might not make it home as he walks out the door. It is not okay for our president to threaten using our own active military force against the citizens of our country to “dominate the streets” or use tear gas to disperse peaceful protesters for his photo op. It is not okay to remain silent or look away as these injustices continue to be perpetrated against our black and brown brothers and sisters. Now is the time to take action and take the knee off of the necks of the oppressed. Visit the Anti-Racism Project at https://www.antiracismproject.org/ and make sure to check out their resources list. Dana Herman, Shell Lake

I fell in love with Wisconsin dairy Many of you do not know much about me. You probably know I live in a small town in Wisconsin, I have four kids, and I really like food. I grew up in a Minneapolis suburb. I loved the outdoors and fantasized about living like Laura Ingalls Wilder when I grew up. As a teen, I lived up to the dream of my Wild Chow “Wilder” childhood idol, attendLisa Erickson ing concerts at First Avenue, dressing like Madonna, and driving a Corvette. I had a soft side, too. I loved to camp and cooked gourmet meals with my best friend—we did everything together
until she moved to France. We’ve always stayed in touch, even though we went our separate ways. Though oceans apart, our discussions about food grew in-depth and knowledge. Dairy kept coming up as our main topic of interest. Later, my time on the UW System Board of Regents and the Wisconsin Technical College Board opened my eyes to how integral and interwoven dairy is to Wisconsin. I learned how Wisconsin became the dairy state, about Babcock, how researchers in Madison discovered warfarin, and so much more related to dairy. Eventually, we started doing research, which resulted in a book about dairy and cheese in Wisconsin. The
LEE HAMILTON
Over the last few years, the health of American democracy has come under great scrutiny. Polling routinely shows that Americans are concerned that democratic institutions aren’t working as well as they ought to. Inevitably, this brings up the question of whether we can mend our problems or if the system of representative democracy itself is fundamentally broken. I served as a representative for a good bit of my life, watched the system from the inside with all its faults Lee H. Hamilton and all its glories, and believe firmly in it. Our strengths as a nation—our wealth and culture, our opportunities and human resources—developed in an environment that was built from our founding documents. In fact, I would argue that some of our key characteristics as a people spring from the demands of self-governance and electing representatives. Wherever I’ve gone around the country, I’ve noticed an impressive and restless desire to improve our communities and states for everyone who lives in them. A representative democracy encourages this. As concerns about our institutions have grown, however, so has interest in alternatives. Many people are pushing for more direct democracy. Others want to move away from representative democracy, limit the power of the legislature, and in some cases see an advantage in a strong-man leader.
I have to confess; I have trouble seeing us move in either direction. A lot of Americans like the idea of direct democracy, but I have trouble seeing how 325 million people could make decisions on even major policy questions at the federal level. It would make it impossible to have the kind of deliberation or common-ground-seeking that Congress, when it’s working, can practice. Those attracted to strong-man leadership see value in a president who can make policy with little or no consultation with the Congress or other elected bodies. This, of course, is authoritarianism, an idea many Americans find unattractive for governing the country. My point is this: We can’t look at representative democracy in isolation but have to compare it to the alternatives. And the alternatives, I’d argue, don’t stack up. Even 230 years on, our system remains an experiment in self-government. It seems to me that the question is not “Is it perfect?” Rather, it is: “Can it improve itself?” The answer lies with ordinary citizens to step up and take advantage of the opportunities the system affords us to do just that. Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar at the IU Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice at the IU O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

New dreams AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS
Hello friends, There is way more to write this week than I have space to put it in, but I will do my best. Back in late April while turkey hunting with my daughter Selina over a food plot that the two of us created nine years ago but no longer have regular access to, I had an idea. I was actually in the blind when I sent a text to a landowner that has property that borders mine that is 100% oak and pine forest and he has not used for hunting in years or seldom even walks. My friend does not live in this area and so I asked if I could create a food plot on it and hunt his land. Within one minute of sending that text I received a yes and an hour later Selina shot the heaviest tom that I have ever lifted. Wednesday, April 29 High 62, low 26 My new hangout can only be reached by foot or ATV. The forest has a solid oak wilt problem which means that at ground level everything is brush and there is zero sign of deer or turkey activity. Today I realized a sobering fact, what was supposed to be my easiest spring in years would be my most physical. I have about 4-weeks to clear cut hazelnut brush and dead oak trees and spray everything with
an herbicide, rototill the entire area, when finished about 3/4s of an acre, and plant it before the optimal germination period ends here in sand country. I figured 60-man hours and 35-days later I have about 75 “death hours” into it and holy moly is it pretty. Like nine years, ago I used my good buddy Scott Christensen who is the plant manager at Allied Cooperative in Adams for advice and was told to get some buckwheat on that new ground. Deer and turkey love to eat buckwheat, it is roughly a 60day crop and it is well known to rebuild soil. Several things happened as this project progressed. I had kicked both of my chainsaws butts by cutting so much brush so close to the ground and I did some real ugly damage to my tiller eating roots with a machine that is not meant to eat roots. Every evening when I finished working, I would open a can of beer, look at my project and think. I planned my stand positioning on the east side of it as that is your least dominate wind direction. After I thought I was done I decided to double its size with a “new” food plot and though my body is handling this project, pain and fatigue are my first and middle names. I planted one area that is about ten feet wide and 40-yards long with scattered corn and just for
WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County
kicks I threw in some Iron and Clay Cowpeas. I also went about 10% with the Cowpeas in the buckwheat. On my newest addition in midJuly I will plant some winter wheat and maybe clover and after I plow in the buckwheat I will plant turnips and radishes. On Scott’s advice, I also planted some sugar beets. On every trip back home I have a small trailer hooked up to my Polaris 500 “Sportsmen” I bring back either campfire or woodstove firewood from the land clearing and it is really adding up. Four days ago, I placed two trail cameras on it and last night I checked them for the first time. Like Scott Christensen said, the deer and turkey would find the buckwheat and though the pics were not as clear as I like due to fog, I think I have two bucks with really good potential. This project is both a challenge and a labor of love. I think I have about $500 into it so far and I have to tell you, when I saw my crops emerging from the ground I felt like a proud papa. Hopefully this fall and winter and again next spring many enjoyable hours will be spent watching the forest behind my house from a tree and maybe even some meat will be made, certainly some memories! Dream big, work hard! Sunset.

Dispatch having issues receiving transmissions from the field KAYLA CASEY SENTINEL STAFF
Dispatch has recently been having issues receiving transmissions from portable radios while officers are in the field, though they report there have not been any significant issues with the mobile units themselves. Jim Tolbert, Emergency Management Director, confirmed at the public safety committee meeting Thursday morning that there has been radio interference happening causing communication issues. Radio programming was checked and found to be correct, so RACOM was contacted. RACOM’s preliminary analysis showed that there were atmospheric disruptions, so a technician is scheduled to visit in the near future to help diagnose the problem and where the disruptions are coming from. Tolbert also gave a report on the tower sites, stating that all of the sites
and towers seemed operational and only the Jackson tower was missing a power fail relay which is being purchased and installed soon. He told the committee that he is also now tied into the tower system so if there is a problem, he will be notified about it.
‘The issue has been with the portable radios.’ Jim Tolbert Emergency Management Director “All in all, the towers themselves have been fine, the issue has been with the portable radios, and there has been atmospheric disturbances.” With RACOM’s technician scheduled to visit, they are hopeful to figure out where the disturbances are coming from. Tolbert said they are not sure themselves where the disturbances are coming from, but RACOM is plugged in.

More Burnett County residents now qualify for USDA foods at ICAA Burnett Co. Food Pantry WEBSTER— Beginning this month, the ICAA Burnett Co. Food Pantry is able to offer more Burnett County households the Grade-A foods provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The ICAA Burnett Co. Food Pantry is an authorized food distributor in the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and can now provide no-cost groceries for households that have incomes up to 300% of the federal poverty level (FPL). People who have lost jobs or income may obtain a monthly share of American-grown meat, vegetables, fruit, juice, and more from a TEFAP food pantry. Before June 1, 2020, TEFAP’s qualifying income threshold was 185% FPL.
Enrollment is confidential and simple. The ICAA Burnett Co. Food pantry is located at 26356 Lakeland Avenue South, Webster, WI and is open Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 10 am to 3pm. The pantry will provide food on the day of application, and once each month as long as the household’s income qualifies them to participate. Proof of address and identification are required; proof of income is not. Households participating in other food programs (such as Food Share, WIC or school nutrition) may also participate in TEFAP without affecting their ability to qualify for those programs. Wisconsin’s pantry volunteers are providing “no contact” food
distribution during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are enrolling households and distributing groceries outdoors to minimize health risks. In many locations, TEFAP applicants and participants remain in their cars for service. In 2019, Wisconsin’s 265 charitable TEFAP pantries made more than 800,000 monthly food distributions to households in need of food. For more information about ICAA, call 715-532-4222 or visit www.indianheadcaa.org.

Update on the Drug Free Community Grant KAYLA CASEY SENTINEL STAFF
Burnett County had been approved for the approximately $640,000 Drug Free Community Grant back in February. This grant focuses on prevention, law enforcement, and rehabilitation for a drug-free community. County Board Supervisor, Gene Olson, gave an update on the grant and where the Burnett County Law Enforcement Citizen’s Auxiliary and Burnett County Prevention Coalition are at with the grant right now. The main office has been placed in Grantsburg at Bont Chiropractic’s old building on Main Street and a person has been hired full-time to staff that building. Olson stated that they will be dealing with drug education and are helping with the process of obtaining the second drug dog for Burnett County. Olson said that a former Webster police officer is also involved.
“It’s quite, I’m going to use the word cool, for the county to get that grant because we went through quite a bit of turmoil as far as having a power struggle as to who’s going to have authority over it, and I want to thank the administrator, he stepped in with this office and was a good peacemaker. We’ve got it all Gene Olson settled and we’ve got people County Board Supervisor that are hired and all the offices totally manned.” “I appreciate the county getting behind this and working with the auxiliary.” Nate Ehalt, County Administrator stated, “You should see more activity start coming out of that office, hopefully in the next few months.”
‘I appreciate the county getting behind this and working with the auxiliary.’
Make Music Day ramping up in Burnett County
Burnett County will be fi lled with the sound of music on the Summer Solstice, Sunday, June 21, when musicians from the local area perform as part of Make Music Day Burnett/Polk, joining 13 other Wisconsin sites that are participating in this annual nation- and world-wide celebration of making music. Make Music Day is sponsored by the non-profit Make Music Day Alliance. This is the fi rst time Burnett and Polk Counties are participating. “Music is a healing agent that brings people together regardless of their backgrounds,” said Studio Northwoods’ Harriet Rice, who, along with Frederic Arts’ Nancy Buley, is cocoordinating the one-day program. “In this constant streaming of disturbing events, music and art serve as an island of respite.” “We’re still looking for individuals and groups of any size to register,” said Rice. “The performances for Make Music Day have no money associated them. It’s not a “concert -- it’s more like a free movable musical feast,”” she explained. “The musicians play because music is in their blood, and they love doing it. People are invited to listen, relax and enjoy it all for free,” said Rice, suggesting the activity for a Fathers’ Day outing. All performances will be outdoors with public access, so social distancing isn’t an issue. Venues can be front porches, parking lots, lawns, driveways and sidewalks. The Village of Webster has offered the fairgrounds as a venue. (School properties are not available because schools are still under the Governor’s “Safer at Home” policy). Use of acoustic instruments is preferable. Music can be played from sun-up to sundown. “But I’d alert the neighbors if you’ll be playing outside at home,” quipped Rice. Several local musicians have already signed up, including the ever-popular Dan Zimmer Band featuring music ranging from the 1930s to the 70s and the Brothers O’Shay who play Irish tunes. A schedule listing of who’s playing when and where will be posted on the local Make Music Day website, makemusicday.org/burnettcounty, will be made available for posting on social media, and will be published in local newspapers the week prior to June 21. To become part of Make Music Day Burnett County, contact Rice at studionrthwds@gmail. com. Musicians in the Frederic area, can contact Buley at nancybuley@gmail.com.

I Am Your Flag... I was born on June 14, 1777. I am more than just cloth shaped into a design. I am the refuge of the world’s oppressed people. I am the silent sentinel of freedom. I am the emblem of the greatest sovereign nation on earth. I am the inspiration for which American patriots gave their lives and fortunes. I have led your sons and daughters into battle from Valley Forge to the bloody ridges of Vietnam to the sands of the Persian Gulf. I walk in silence with each of your honored dead, to their final resting place beneath the silent white crosses, row upon row. I have flown through peace and war, strife and prosperity, and amidst it all I have been respected. My red stripes... symbolize the blood spilled in defense of this glorious nation. My white stripes... signify the burning tears shed by Americans who lost their sons and daughters. My stars... clustered together, unify the 50 states as one, for God and country. “Old Glory” is my nickname and proudly I wave on high. Honor me, respect me, defend me with your lives and your fortunes. Never let my enemies tear me down from my lofty position, lest I never return. Keep alight the fires of patriotism, strive earnestly for the spirit of your republic, and I shall remain the bulwark of peace and freedom for all mankind.

Funds for local agencies WILD CHOW: Celebrate Dairy Month with The Burnett County local board Jurisdiction 911000 has been awarded federal funds made available through The Department Of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency Under The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program. Burnett County has been chosen to receive $7,816 for phase #37, also $11,947 from the Phase CARES to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county. The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; The Jewish Federations of North America, The Salvation Army; and United Way Worldwide. The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country. A Local Board made up of churches, Salvation Army, Organizations, etc. will determine how the funds awarded to Burnett County jurisdiction 911000 are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The Local
Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds made available under this phase of the program. Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive Federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 6) if they are a private voluntary organization, have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply. Burnett County Jurisdiction 911000 has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds previously with the assistance of other agencies participating. These agencies were responsible for providing meals and nights of lodging totaling $4,000 in Phase #36. Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Josie Penberthy, local board chair at 26356 Lakeland Ave South, Webster WI 54893, phone number 715-349-8155 for an application. The deadline for applications to be received is May 26.
a dairy good cake CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
depth of tradition, love, and passion in dairy knocked my socks off. I wanted to be part of that passion. In early 2019, after we finished our book, I accepted a job with Crystal Ball Farms Dairy as the dairy plant manager. I couldn’t be happier. I am part of carrying on the tradition of dairy in Wisconsin and the nation. June is dairy month. Join me in celebrating dairy and supporting Wisconsin dairy farms. Dairy Good Cake 2 cups flour 1 ½ tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 4 eggs, room temperature 2 cups sugar 1 Tbsp vanilla extract Ÿ tsp almond extract 1 cup whole milk 10 Tbsp butter Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease two 8-inch round cake pans; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking
powder. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract, until thickened. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Heat the milk in the microwave. Add the butter, stirring until the butter is melted. Add the milk to the batter, stirring to combine. Divide the batter between pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cakes. Pudding (Frosting) 2/3 cup sugar Âź cup Flour 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1/2 tsp salt 2 eggs 2 cups whole milk, heated very hot 6 Tbsp butter 1 tsp vanilla Âź tsp almond In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt, and eggs until smooth. Gradually add the hot milk to
the sugar and egg mixture, stirring constantly. Over medium heat, stir constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Cool completely. Slice the cakes in half horizontally. Set one of the four layers aside. On a cake plate, place one layer and frost with pudding as you would frosting. Top with the next layer and frost. Place the third layer on top and frost the entire cake on sides and top. With the last layer, over a bowl crumble the cake. Press the cake crumbs into the pudding all over the frosted cake. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Lisa Erickson is a food columnist who loves all things dairy. You can get more recipes by emailing her at wildchowrecipes@gmail. com

Our Father, God
Pastor Emory L. Johnson New Hope Lutheran
This Sunday we will celebrate Father’s Day. Fathers all across America will be recognized by their children. Their children will give them special gifts and tell them how much they love them. Fathers will also tell their children how much they are loved. It is a great day for us to recognize our fathers and let them know how much they are loved and appreciated. We also have another Father, a Heavenly Father, who created us and who loves us. He gave us life and without Him none of us would be here. Without Him there would be no world, no universe, no creation, nothing. However, most of us do not often take the time to stop and really think about who God is, the Creator of all that exists, and who we are simply by the fact that
given an inheritance to His children too. It is called Heaven. You see, Jesus died on the cross and paid the price for us to inherit Heaven. But Jesus also rose from the dead on that Resurrection Sunday morning. He is alive. All we need to do is to accept that fact and accept Jesus as our Savior. Then we will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Someday we will rise from the dead, just like Jesus did, and we will live with Him, with all those who believe in Him, and with our Father God for all eternity. Our Father, God, loves you and wants you to be with Him more than you ever know. This column was originally published June 12, 2019
God is our Father In the Bible, Matthew Chapter 6, Jesus tells us that our Father is God. He gave us a pattern for prayer and tells us to recognize God as our Father by beginning the Lord’s Prayer like this, “Our Father who art in Heaven,” In other words Jesus is telling you and me that God is our Father. In many other Gospel passages Jesus also tells us that God is our Heavenly Father and we are His children. If Jesus is telling us that God is our Father and we are His children then we must be pretty special to Him, just like their children are pretty precious to most earthly fathers. Most earthly fathers also leave an inheritance to their children when they die. They often leave them their home and their possessions. God has
