Radar run brings in hundreds of spectators JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Siren Nationals brought in hundreds of spectators to watch cars drive down the 1/8-mile runway at the Burnett County Airport. They were also able to get a look at classic cars in the car show and the newly added

swap meet.

The spring radar run was held in May and Chuck Schultz, the Airport manager had the numbers from the event at last week’s infrastructure meeting.

“We had about 100 cars in the radar run,” Shultz said. “With over 600 spectators and 150 volunteers. Those are

all unpaid positions.”

Chris Sybers said it was also a stellar year for the Lion’s Club.

“They sold more food than ever before,” Sybers said. “They actually ran out of food.”

Siren Nationals is held twice a year in the spring and fall at the Burnett County Airport.

Barnes visits Burnett County JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Wisconsin’s Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes was in Siren to get an inside look at the counties Highway department, current infrastructure needs and also met with health and human services staff at the Government Center.

“On the county level we are looking at strengthening the relationship with local governments,” Barnes told the infrastructure committee. “As we all know – all politics is local.”

Barnes talked about the natural beauty of the state is what makes Wisconsin special.

Barnes “But people have a poor experience on our roads they’ll remember that and that’s what they’ll tell people,” Barnes stated.

“There’s a lot of disagreement in Madison, I don’t know if you’ve heard,” Barnes explained. “This, in this room, is where the actual work happens.”

Barnes was asked about how roadwork across the state would be funded and specifically about the possibility of added tolls to roads.

“I’ve heard whispers about adding tolls to roads and tolling across the state,” Barnes said. “I am not in favor of that option.”

Fitness trail is first step to GRO-funded park JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Grantsburg Revitalization Operation, commonly known as GRO, is in the process of completing their fitness trail that will wrap around the Grantsburg pool area.

“GROs intention is to help make Grantsburg a better place,” Kelly

Gerber of GRO said. “We want the recreational fitness trail to provide a fun, healthy and safe way for community members to reach their fitness goals.”

Gerber is a member of GRO and is on the committee called COR, Community Outdoor Recreation area. This committee focuses on creating a recreational park

GRO: Fitness trail to be completed in July CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

trail itself is already laid out near the pool. It has been designed for all age groups in mind.

The trail is a loop just under half a mile that can be used by runners or walkers. It will have five exercise stations laid out throughout the trail that people can use or simply use the trail.

GRO and Gerber firmly believe the fitness trail will bring many benefits to the community. “(The fitness trail) brings health and wellness opportunity to our community. It will be another place for community members to gather and build a sense of community,” Gerber explained. “The fitness trail will be a great place for parents to go get a workout in while their kids are at a school practice or at swimming lessons.”

Along with the fitness trail, COR is looking to build a splash pad and playground in the same area. The splash pad would be a 3,000 square foot concrete pad with multiple and expandable water features.

There is no standing water with the splash pad so there is no need for a lifeguard.

Nicki Peterson of GRO told the Grantsburg Village Board about their plan to first fund the trail, then the splash pad and then finally the playground.

They have the trail funded and GRO is now focused on funding the splash pad. It has an estimated budget of $250,000 for the splash pad water features, fencing with a gated entrance, concrete work and plumbing.

The playground has a budget of $150,000 and that will include the

playground equipment, installation costs and shredded rubber for ground cover.

“A special thank you to the Grantsburg Village Board for allowing GRO to create a park on the village land,” Gerber concluded. “Also, a very big thank you to Chris Bartlett the public works director for all the help getting the trail designed.”

The fitness stations have been ordered and are expected to arrive by mid-July. GRO is looking for people willing to donate time to help assemble the exercise sta-

tions. They are also looking for people to help construct a kiosk at the park’s entrance. If you are interested in donating time or materials for the kiosk, you can contact Gerber at 715-463-3456.

GRO is also holding a fundraiser selling bricks that can be inscribed with names or a message to help pay for the splashpad.

More information on purchasing bricks can be found at the Grantsburg Public Library, Grantsburg Village Office, Community Bank in Grantsburg or online at www. grograntsburg.com.

From a dream to a reality The Humane Society of Burnett County will officially be moving all dog and cat sheltering and adoption operations from its current location on Midtown Road to the new Peggy Schilling Animal Adoption and Education Center the week of June 17, 2019. The new facility will almost double HSBC’s capacity to care for stray, surrendered and abandoned dogs; will provide much improved public access to view and interact with shelter dogs and cats; provide a healthier and more efficient workplace for staff and volunteers and be energy efficient. The renovations of the former Baker building were designed by Derrick Capra, Legends Architecture LLC from Hayward and the construction manager was Berghammer Builders from Cumberland. Several

explained to Barnes the engineering process and added layers of bureaucracy needed to go through with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) to get projects done.

“A couple of years ago we did a project on County Road H, just four miles of the road,” Hoefs explained. “The bid price was $1.5 million but eventually went up to $2.1 million for the total cost.

I believe if it was done with full local control I could’ve done it for Schachtner around $800,000. It’s just frustrating.”

State Senator Patty Schachtner was also at the highway facility on Wednesday. She spoke about the financial impact on local government stemming from addiction and the governmental resources they use across the entirety of the system.

“We can’t fight addiction if law enforcement is out there dodging potholes,” Schachtner said.

Supervisor Bert Lund asked Schachtner about the potential concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) planned for Trade Lake.

“We have gotten a lot of phone calls about the CAFO and a lot of concerns pertaining to that topic,” Schachtner said. “We understand there is a permitting process and we’re keeping a close eye on it.”

After their visit at the highway facility, Barnes and Schachtner went to the Government Center and met with the Health and Human Services (HHS) staff. Barnes spoke with the Sentinel after their visit with the HHS staff.

“Burnett County is facing similar issues to the rest of the state,” Barnes said. He noted the Burnett County staff pointed out to him child placement costs rose by over 900 percent between 2013 and 2017.

“That is a startling figure,” Barnes stated.

“There is one thing that needs to be done and that is to expand Medicaid. That would be a significant first step.”

HHS director Allison Fern said Barnes and Schachtner were actively listening to the struggles they have been going through in the department.

She added the staff was asked questions about potential solutions and possible preventative efforts to help with their workload.

“Information was presented on our rising child placements costs, our concerns with current workload, as well as how the meth epidemic is impacting our community,” Fern said.

The visit also included meeting with the Sheriff’s Office, district attorney, county administrator and a few members of the county board.

Controlling the myths

F

irst off, congrats to the Webster baseball team on becoming back to back state champions.

It is truly an amazing accomplishment. For those that haven’t been to the stadium in Grand Chute, I highly suggest the trip.

It is where the minor league Wisconsin Timber Rattlers play their home games. I have been a number of times when it used to be Fox Cities Stadium, then it was Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium and now it has settled on Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium.

Baseball is one of the few expertise I hold, the other is rock ‘n’ roll.

Martin Scorsese made a film about Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue Tour from 1975-76. It’s called a documentary and premiered on Netflix last week. My father is the biggest Bob Dylan fan I know. He explained it pretty succinctly for me.

Sentinel “Y’know they only have so much footage from those days and they Editor have got to find new ways to reJonathan Richie package it to sell it again.”

It makes sense Dylan is consistently putting out “previously unreleased” music like demos or live performances. He also has his own brand of whiskey and plays over 70 shows a year. Along with the film there is also a companion 14-disc boxset released by Columbia Records.

Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese is the films official title. It is a mix of concert footage from the tour along with unused scenes from Dylan’s 1978 film Renaldo and Clara.

This is the tour when Dylan painted his face white.

However, the big draw is the new interviews with Dylan and others like Sharon Stone, a filmmaker – Stefen von Dorp, a congressman - Rep. Jack Tanner and the tour’s promoter - Jim Gianopulos.

The kicker is all of the stories told by Stone, von Dorp, Rep. Tanner and Gianopulos are either fabricated or manufactured.

In the film, Stone attends the tour with her mother and while they are having problems with their tickets Dylan himself escorts them in. It is completely made up.

I found it to be a useless addition to the film, but I suppose it helps Scorsese stretch the production to his usual over two hours runtime.

Other fictional stories were backed up with doctored photos and recent narrations over old video.

After thinking about it though, it all makes sense. Dylan is a myth of an artist. He was seen as a prophet in the early 60s and has always been seen as a folk/rock enigma.

In the beginning of the film, Dylan is asked about the tour and he starts pontificating in his roundabout way where just words come out and he’s not saying anything. Then he stops and states, “Oh it’s just all clumsy BS.” Then he tells the interviewer he doesn’t remember anything about the Rolling Thunder Revue Tour.

That all led me to believe it is just another revenue stream for the aging music icon. Which is fine with me, the man is 78 and often sounds like his voice needs a tune up from a lifetime of cigarettes.

The case for goofing off

find it very hard to believe that June is half over.

Summer is slipping along at a brisk pace, like it or not.

We had our 10-year-old granddaughter Persephone stay with us this past week. Sephie, as we call her, enjoyed her stay. She stayed up until after nine and got to sleep in until after seven several mornings. She and her grandmother did several craft projects, baked some very good monster cookies, played with our three cats and two dogs and binge watched a season of “The British Baking Show” on Netflix.

It was a great start to summer for From the her. We had a good time as well.

Publisher’s She was fresh out of school for the Desk year and had a week off before her “vacation” began. I use quotations Tom Stangl around the word vacation because Sephie has a brief respite before her regimented summer routine begins.

Summer school, girl scout camp, daycare and a family vacation are all on tap for her. She will have to be at a certain place at a certain time for weeks on end.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand that our lives are tightly scheduled in the 21st century. Nor is this a criticism on the parenting choices of my daughter and her husband, this is simply how things are done now.

But, like every parent and grandparent before me, there are things from my childhood that I want my children and grandchildren to be able to experience.

Being lazy in the summer, in moderation, is one of these things.

From the age of 10 until shortly before I turned 18, I had a paper route. I got up at 6:00 a.m., rode my

bike to the post office where the bundles of papers had been dropped off, delivered the papers and went back to bed before 7:00. I did this six days a week.

On Sundays, my father helped deliver the route and drove his car.

In the summer, I went back to bed and slept as late as 10:00, or until my mother felt I had slept long enough. My mother was as subtle as a brick. She would come upstairs and raise the blind, moving with heavy steps the whole time. I heard many admonishments about how I was sleeping away the best part of the day.

But here’s the deal: I think it’s important for kids to be able to unplug and decompress from everything.

The school year is intense, especially if you are having trouble with a subject or are involved in too many activities. Being lazy, in small doses, never killed anyone.

I read lots of books, rode my bike all over town, went swimming, played board games and cards and hung out with my friends during the summer.

I understand that children need to be constantly learning and that “brain drain,” forgetting some of what you have learned, is a real thing, but I think we are losing track of something equally important – being a kid.

I hope that children can be kids, at least for part of the summer. Childhood, like summer, is fleeting and in the end, it is the memories of being a kid that we all go back to for the rest of our lives.

Make sure your summer has some memories.

As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

THE CAPITOL REPORT

Jill Karofsky’s bid for Supreme Court backed by rape victim she charged with lying Supreme Court candidate Jill Karofsky says the biggest mistake of her 27-career judicial career was bringing an obstruction charge against Patty Murphy, a legally blind woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted and robbed at knifepoint in her Madison home more than two decades ago.

But nearly 22 years later, Murphy believes that Karofsky would be a “terrific” Supreme Court justice thanks to tireless efforts to make amends and teach the next generation of lawyers and prosecutors how to avoid her missteps.

What’s more, Murphy told WisPolitics.com that she will “absolutely” vote for Karofsky next spring when the Dane County district court judge challenges sitting Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly for a seat on Wisconsin’s highest court.

But according to Karofsky, Murphy didn’t always feel that way.

A colossal f***-up In the wee hours of the morning on Sept. 4, 1997, Murphy says an assailant broke into the apartment she shared with her daughter and anally, orally and vaginally raped her before forcing her into a closet and making off with her valuables.

She called the police, who immediately responded to the scene, collected evidence and took her to a hospital to be examined by a nurse specially trained to work with victims of sexual assault.

Bill Lueders, a Madison journalist and editor of The Progressive magazine, authored the 2006 book “Cry Rape: The True Story of One Woman’s Harrowing Quest for Justice,” which details Murphy’s distressing experience. He told WisPolitics.com what happened next could only be described as a “colossal f***-up.”

“For the next year, police and prosecutors perpetuated the assault,” Lueders wrote. “Aside from the not-uncommon humiliation of being quizzed by a male detective about penis size and vaginal lubri-

cation, Patty bore the added indignity of not being believed.

“On the initiative of this one detective, Patty’s report of being raped was turned into an investigation of her.”

That detective, Tom Woodmansee of the Madison Police Department, would present Karofsky — who was then a young deputy district attorney — with a document featuring 41 reasons why he believed Murphy was lying and had made up the whole ordeal.

“Among those were the fact that the physical evidence didn’t match up, that the timing didn’t match.

He had interviewed her several times and her statements were inconsistent,” Karofsky told WisPolitics. com. “And then ultimately, he confronted her in the basement of the Madison Police Department and she then said this didn’t happen.”

But Lueders said Woodmasee’s report on the investigation should have raised red flags on a number of points.

The State Crime Lab, for instance, found testable quantities of semen on her bed sheet but did not process the sample before obstruction charges were brought against Murphy.

The nurse who was charged with examining her in the immediate aftermath of the incident noted the signs of trauma were not as severe as they could have been. But a bruise on her thigh, scratch on her rectum, small lacerations on her face and neck, and a cut on her index finger were clear to see.

Woodmansee also expressed doubts about the veracity of Murphy’s story, because, as he said to her during a three-plus hour-long interview session, “You don’t act like a rape victim.”

But perhaps most damningly, the confession that Karofsky spoke of was acquired after Woodmansee cornered Murphy in an interrogation cell and lied to her about the results derived from the evidence collected at the scene of the crime.

“He told her that Poarch, the sexual-assault nurse… and State Crime Lab found ‘no evidence’ of rape,” Lueders wrote. “He told her the Crime Lab’s lab test for latex residue from the condom she says her assailant wore came back negative.

“This, he later admitted in court, was a ‘ruse’ — there is no such thing as a test for latex residue.”

Lueders told WisPolitics.com that he believed Murphy’s will was broken in that interrogation room and “she was trying to say whatever the cops wanted to hear” when she confessed to making it all up, just to bring an end to the harassment.

With Woodmansee’s assertions in hand, Karofsky pushed forward with charging Murphy with obstructing an officer, a Class H Felony in the state of Wisconsin. She was responsible for drawing up the charging documents and appeared in court as the prosecutor.

The charge was dismissed after DNA testing on the semen found on Murphy’s bed sheet raised “the possibility that Murphy was assaulted,” but not before Karofsky praised the detectives for their work.

“The police officers in this case ought to be proud of what they did,” Lueders recalls Karofsky saying in court.

For her part, Karofsky did not dispute her portrayal or the claims laid out in the book and praised its author.

“I don’t know that any of this would have come to light were it not for really good reporting on the part of Bill Lueders,” she said.

Woodmansee, who subsequently left the Madison Police Department, did not return multiple requests for comment from WisPolitics.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

How did the Roman Empire collapse? We must be careful, history repeats unless we learn from it.

The evidence is strong that at the root of Rome’s decline was a shift in ideas and attitudes away from respect for life, property, free enterprise, and representative government and toward the redistributive welfare state.

When the Romans abandoned self-responsibility and self-reliance and began to vote themselves benefits, use government to rob Peter to pay Paul, put their hands into other people’s pockets, and envy and covet the productive and their wealth, they set into motion Kershner’s First Law: “When a self-governing people confer upon their government the power to take from some and give to others, the process will not stop until the last bone of the last taxpayer is picked bare.”

In the early days of the Roman republic, which gave way to political dictatorship with Julius Caesar’s ascendancy in 49 B.C., Roman society employed substantial elements of a market economy and a public policy that encouraged entrepreneurship.

Modestly at first, but with increasing generosity, tribunes, senators, and, later, emperors promised the people free wheat and other staples. In the city of Rome alone, Julius Caesar found 320,000 of its 2 million people on government grain relief.

The central government also assumed the responsibility of providing the people with entertainment. Elabo-

rate circuses and gladiator duels were staged to keep the people happy. The equivalent of $100 million per year in the city of Rome alone is one modern historian’s estimate of what was poured out on the games.

In effect, the emperors were buying support with the people’s money. After all, government can give only what it first takes. The emperors, in dishing out all these goodies, were in a position to manipulate public opinion. As Alexander Hamilton observed, “Control of a man’s subsistence is control of a man’s will.” Not even the act of Emperor Constantine in granting tolerance to Christians for the first time saved the decaying empire from the consequences of its disastrous economic policies.

Indeed, the church itself was corrupted by joining everyone else at the public trough.

When the barbarians entered Rome in 476 A.D. and swept aside the last of the Roman emperors, Rome was a shell of its former self. The barbarians didn’t kill Rome; Romans committed economic and moral suicide.

Logging in Grantsburg Dear Editor, Is the Village of Grantsburg in financial difficulty? Are we going broke? Did I miss something in the village minutes? Why did you find it necessary to log off timber on the nicest parcel of woods in town? Imagine my shock to be woken at 6:30 in the morning to the sound of big machinery and snapping trees.

When I bought my home over 40 years ago, I was told the property

across the street had been donated to the village with the condition it never be developed. I guess they should have included “or destroyed.” It seems strange that this occurred shortly after the passing of an elder member of this donating family.

My lovely view is gone and there is nothing I can do about it, but was it really necessary?

MagnaďŹ ci holds listening session for constituents JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Representative Gae Magnafici (R-Dresser) was recently in Grantsburg for a formal listening session to hear from the public.

Magnafici was elected to the State Assembly last year defeating Kim Butler for the District 28 seat formerly held by Adam Jarchow. Her district includes Towns of Anderson, Daniels, Grantsburg, Lincoln, Meenon, Siren, Trade Lake, West Marshland, Wood River as well as the Villages of Grantsburg, Siren and Webster.

About 35 people showed up for Magnafici’s listening at Crex Convention Center on Thursday afternoon. “I’m here to listen to your concerns,�

Magnafici said as people started getting seated.

It started a little tense with a woman, who defined herself as an independent voter, alleging Magnafici was not up front about her stance on abortion. “I’m pro-life and was endorsed by Pro-Life Wisconsin during the campaign,�

Magnafici said.

The woman continued to talk about fair Gae MagnaďŹ ci funding for local Representative schools and also said that Magnafici never responds to her questions via email or Facebook. “When you were running I couldn’t find anything that said you were for charter schools and vouchers,â€? the woman stated. “Now I find this out only after you were elected. I believe that public education is the foundation of democracy and you’re hurting public schools up here.â€?

Magnafici said the decision to put their children in a public or private school is to be left to the parents. She was questioned about it diminishing public schools and taking money away from them and Magnafici repeated the decision should be left to the parents.

The tension eased in the room slightly and others began to ask questions and voice their concerns.

Many people in attendance wanted to talk to Magnafici about the proposed hog farm in Trade Lake, others wanted to talk about a survey sent to constituents. There was also discussion on Magnafici’s stance on local government control and even the criminal justice system.

‘I’m here to listen to your concerns.’

A number of people thanked Magnafici for her service as an elected official but wanted to help bring more power back to the local government so small municipalities don’t have to go down to Madison to have themselves heard.

There was a lot of talk about Jarchow and his involvement with Act 67, which makes a number of changes to local government zoning authority and water permits. “I’m a conservative and that didn’t make any sense to me,� one man told Magnafici. “We want you to represent us and give us back that local control that has been taken away.�

There was a woman that wanted grandparents and other family members that take care of children when the Gae MagnaďŹ ci parents cannot, Representative due to addiction, to be financially supported the same way foster parents are financially supported.

When the conversation inevitably shifted to the hog farm or concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) Magnafici spoke about the Department of Natural Resources and their involvement in the process. “I understand this is a very big concern up here,� Magnafici started. “We’ve met with the DNR and I cannot believe the DNR would allow this CAFO. It’s a big issue in Burnett and Polk County.�

Then the conversation was once again shifted. This time to the criminal justice system.

Kayla Woody told Magnafici people are “constantly in and out of jail.� She added, “addiction is a disease but dealing is not.�

Woody continued to explain the current jail situation. 26 beds and right now 43 prisoners Burnett County is in charge of. A number of those prisoners are being housed in Barron County. “The jail is shipping these people out of county and the transportation costs are outrageous,� Woody said. “How do we go about building a bigger jail?�

Magnafici responded, “I know we need more resources up here.�

Magnafici is scheduled to attend the meth forum at the Grantsburg Library on June 20 at 5:30 p.m.

‘I know we need more resources up here.’

No start date set for Main Street reconstruction

The contracts have been signed and now the Village of Grantsburg is just waiting to get a start date for the upcoming construction project on Main Street. Village clerk/treasurer Sheila Meyer said A-1 Excavating has been awarded the contract for the project.

The preliminary plan was to start construction in late May or early June.

Grantsburg public works director Chris Bartlett said there is still no start date set for when construction will begin.

Bryan Cunningham and Dan Penzkover of SEH Design explained their plans to over 15 business owners at Grantsburg Village Hall in March to explain their plan.

The Village was awarded a Community Development Block Grant for Public Facilities (CDBG-PF.) The 50/50 grant will be used to fund several projects to re-invigorate downtown Grantsburg and Madison Avenue. It is estimated to cost $760,000, with $380,000 coming from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the other half being covered by the village.

Road construction on the east side of Madison Avenue was originally scheduled to start in late May or early June. The plan is to have the east portion from Pine Street to Robert Street completed before they begin work on the west side from Pine Street to Olson Drive.

plained they are planning to do the east side of the project first, which would go from Pine Street to Robert Street. Then

they would begin work on the west side of the project, from Pine Street to Olson Drive, after July 22 to make sure

construction did not interfere with Watercross.

4-H reaches 100-member goal JONATHAN RICHIE

Fifteen months ago, Beth Rank set a goal for Burnett County 4-H and that goal was to reach 100 members across the county. She reached that goal in June.

Rank, 4-H Youth and Family Development Educator told the Natural Resources committee in March 2018 about the goal set for the 4-H kids, she also told them they would get 100 cupcakes if they reach that mark.

“So now we just have to figure out who’s going to make them all, because

I have two kids at home and don’t have time to bake 100 cupcakes.”

Rank also talked about how the course Raising a Thinking Child was a success in the spring.

“We did it all online through Zoom meetings,” Rank said. “That allowed parents to take the course online with the smart phone, tablet or computer in the comfort of their own home.”

Rank said they are planning to have another Raising a Thinking Child online course offered in the fall. She added they are looking into another opportunity for parents called Parent Café.

It is supposed to be a type of support group for parents and a way to “recharge their batteries.”

“You can’t drink from an empty glass,” Rank said.

•

•

IN OTHER ITEMS: The committee had discussed changing the ATV trail opening date across the county in May but decided not to go forward with it due to the confusion it may cause, and the county would have to put out over 100 new signs saying the new opening date. The opening

date will remain the Friday before Memorial Day. CenturyLink will be putting in fiber optic to better reach customers in the northern part of Burnett County. They need permission because the Gandy Dancer Trail and the ground underneath it belongs to the County.

Forest Administrator Jake Nichols said they usually charge $500 per crossing and CenturyLink is looking for two crossings on the Gandy Dancer Trail north of Webster.

Campground talk expands into Webster The Webster village board heard from some residents from the Devils Lake concerned citizens group. Don Hamilton heads the group and he spoke to the board about his concerns with the campground.

Hamilton was one of over 100 people at the Land Use and Information committee meeting and public hearing on June 4 at the Government Center. The group was there to voice their opposition to the proposed 120-unit campground on Devils Lake.

He also warned the board of the potential of other developers that could be coming to the area.

“Developers are coming,” Hamilton said. “They are cash rich and land poor. It’s happening all over the state.”

Hamilton explained the lake has 177 houses currently and adding another could be the equivalent of 80 years of lake development.

“The train is on the track and gets ready to go,” Hamilton said. “It’s getting easier and easier for developers to come in.”

Hamilton concluded his comments saying he just wanted to retire and be a “lake dude” but now is spending his time researching this topic.

IN OTHER ITEMS: • The board approved closing Alder Street between Pike and Sturgeon Avenues on July 6 for their Fourth of July celebration.

• The board also approved a number of beer, liquor and wine licenses along with various other licenses for cigarettes and tobacco, pool table, mobile home and operator licenses.

Hymn sing comes to Grantsburg Brickfield Brewing hosted Hymns on Tap with the help of the Faith Lutheran of Grantsburg congregation last week. Pastor Mike Peterson started the evening by telling people that they would sing two verses from any hymn that people wanted to sing.

“We’ve got this whole book to choose from,” Peterson said as he raised the green hymnal book over his head.

Everyone was welcome to this event. At one point, Peterson was leading a song and handing out hymnal books to people walking in.

“These types of events are happening around the country and now it’s time for Grantsburg,” Peterson said.

Brickfield was serving beer along with non-alcoholic beverages for the evening.

Anderson honored after 27 years JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

The Webster School board thanked elementary school principal Martha Anderson for her 27 years of service to the school.

Anderson was working as a guidance counselor in the district when in August 2009, former elementary school principal Jeff Walsh resigned and Anderson was chosen as the replacement for the 2009-2010 school year.

“We’re all very appreciative of the work you’ve done for the school,” school board president Mark Elliot said at Monday’s school board meeting.

“Thank you for 27 years.”

He continued, “I appreciate so much how you went from guidance counselor to principal and you kept that relational approach with kids and families. The impact you’ve had on those kids and families is profound. We are blessed to have you working for us for 27 years.”

“I have been blessed to have such a great board,” Anderson replied. “You all got it and thank you for that.”

History of Burnett County – Arbuckle Halfway House KAYLA CASEY

Back when there was no such luxury of cars and trucks, the mode of transportation was a horse and carriage.

When long trips needed to be made, those horses and the travelers would need a place to stop and rest, because they could not travel all day and night.

For this reason, stopping places popped up all throughout Burnett County in the late 1800s. The Arbuckle Halfway House was one of these stopping places.

Jack Arbuckle was born in 1835 and moved to the Clam River area around the year 1865 to start his career as a lumberjack. He had married a woman named Mary Lague who was half Chippewa Indian. Together, they had nine boys and four girls. When they first moved to the area, they just had two children and they started their lives together in a one-bedroom log home. He started his logging operations on his own land with lumber camps set all the way up the valley from Stillwater into Burnett County.

With the Arbuckles’ growing family, he knew that they needed a larger home. They began to construct their new home from the finest pine, oak and maple from their own ranch that was made into lumber at their own saw mills. When their new home was finished around 1870, it had a total of 23 rooms for both his family and his employees. It also had a basement for food storage, a barroom, a large room on the third floor for community events, a

SUBMITTED

lobby and a porch that wrapped around three sides of the house.

Also, in the basement was a fireplace to prevent fruits and vegetables from freezing in the winter. This fireplace in the basement also became a place of recreation for the Arbuckle children and their neighborhood friends. They would gather together for little parties making candy, roasting corn and apples, and popping corn.

Arbuckle was a fiddle player, so the large room on the third floor was most-

ly used for parties and dances, typically square dances. Some party-goers would walk 10 or more miles just to go to the Arbuckle house to dance all night long.

The barroom was located in a room on the southeast side of the house and it was not a properly named room. It was not a bar at all, but more of a lobby where men could sit, visit and cleanup before going into the dining room.

Arbuckle did not allow any alcohol in his home because he and his family were all about the young members

of the community. He also would not allow anyone who wasn’t clean into his dining room. He was a stickler for manners.

The Arbuckle Halfway House was not just for the Arbuckle family and their employees, but it was also for fellow lumbermen, military personnel and traders who needed a place to stay overnight. For just 25 cents, they could have a place to sleep and a whole warm meal.

Along with the Arbuckle house, there were also several barns, a blacksmith shop and a slaughterhouse. They owned hogs, oxen, horses and grain fields.

The Arbuckle’s raised their own food, animals and feed crops so they were self-sustaining.

In the year 1882, the Arbuckle’s received a charter and built a dam on the Clam River. Once the dam was completed, Arbuckle would charge a toll to the loggers to send their logs through his dam.

Along with the dam, Arbuckle also built the Arbuckle School for his children to attend. He also invited the other nearby children in the area to attend the school free of charge. The teacher that he hired was Fannie McHugh, who he paid $30 a month to teach the children. Mass was also conducted in the school house since the Arbuckle children were Catholic.

The Arbuckle Halfway House got its name because of where it was located.

The stopping place was located between Clam Falls and Shell Lake on the Stillwater to Ashland Road.

Enjoy a Healthier Picnic All Summer Long Summer is finally here and there is no better time to eat healthy, whole, fresh foods. Many people have a garden, but if that isn’t for you there are local farmer’s markets where you can get food.

Bringing a picnic basket to the beach or on a hike is a great way to choose healthy food options, not to mention a savings to your wallet. It’s easy to create healthy and delicious foods with fruits and vegetables. For a snack or appetizer, you can pack a variety of crisp, raw veggies, paired with a nutritious dip such as hummus, guacamole, salsa, or yogurt mixed with herbs and spices. For those that like to have a cracker or crisp to go with their dip, there are many whole-grain options available.

A quick and easy option for a main dish would be to pick up a roasted chicken. If you have time, another option would be to make sandwich wraps stuffed with lean meat, veggies and light dressing or salsa. For a side salad you could try one made with brown rice, whole-wheat couscous, quinoa or beans. Choose whole grain whenever you can and try to limit white and refined starches and breads.

Staying hydrated is key, especially as the temperatures rise. The good news—eating fruits and vegetables counts toward your daily fluid intake and is a great way to help you stay hydrated. Try to be as colorful as possible when choosing your produce. Orange and red fruits will help protect your skin from the sun with beta-carotene. If you want to pack something other than just water to drink you can try making homemade “soda” by mixing 1⁄4 cup of 100% fruit juice with 8 ounces of seltzer or sparkling water.

WEEKLY WAG News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

SELINA WALTERS AN OUTDOORSMEN’S JOURNAL

Hello, this week instead of my dad writing, I, Selina, am writing to you all. As many of you may know, I graduated from Necedah High School Saturday, May 25. I have lived in Necedah all of my life, and accomplished many things throughout my time there, but this is my biggest accomplishment yet.

Because I have three older brothers, I have watched them all graduate one by one, and never felt as if it would be my time, but now that it has come and passed, it honestly just feels kind of weird, and surreal.

Since I am heading off to college next year, I applied for as many scholarships as I could. One of the questions that many scholarship applications asked was “What has influenced you to make the career choice that you have?� And for this, I always had the same answer. My dad, and his career have had a major impact on who I am and the person that I wish to become. I am so incredibly happy for the opportunities that I have had because of the outdoors and my family.

Lately I have been doing a lot of reflecting on the past as I move into the future. As I reflect, the main things that I think about are what I am grateful for. I obviously am very grateful for the outdoors and all of the experiences that it has provided me, but also the people who I have met because of it. As I’ve grown up, I’ve always been the baby and oftentimes the only girl.

So, watching everyone around me mature has forced me to mature much faster than a lot of people my age, and being around men has made me insensitive to some of the things that maybe a lady should be sensitive to. It has affected my sense of humor, lifestyle, and even the way that I talk at times.

There are many of my dad’s friends who I would not have had the opportunity to meet if not for this involvement. To my uncles, cousins, and family friends who I see every year at deer camp, Canada and duck camp, to the people who I may have only met once or twice because we have stayed with you, or you have let me hunt on your land, I would like to thank you all for all you have done for me.

I also have had many opportunities and experiences that many girls my age have not had because of my dad. When I was only three months old, I went on my first camping trip and I have loved it ever since. Not only have I enjoyed camping, but I also really love

involved in almost every club that we have to offer.

On top of academics and extra-curricular, I also ran cross-country, worked part time, and tried to balance a social life on top of everything. I do not regret any of this, and also learned a lot about myself through all of that and had a lot of fun doing it. You may have noticed that unfortunately over the last couple of years, I have been appearing in my dad’s column less and less, and this is only because I have been so busy with everything previously stated in this paragraph. In no way am I less involved or interested in the outdoors, I just have a lot more on my plate. This will soon become even more difficult as I head off to college

hunting, fishing, exploring and learning about the outdoors. My favorite thing that I have done so far is shooting my bear, I know what it feels like to experience the rush when you are hunting and finally see what you are out for, but when I saw my bear it was totally different. It was like that times 10. I was shaking and I couldn’t stop myself. A lot of people ask me if I was scared at the time, but I was just so caught up in the moment that being afraid of the bear mauling me was not even a thought. There is nothing that has ever made me feel that way before, and I will never forget it.

in September and try to create a new life for myself and become my own person. I want it to be very clear though that as I continue to grow, I want to learn more and more about the outdoors and create this into a career for myself. In the last couple of years, I have become very interested in pollution, especially ocean acidification as this is a major issue that many people don’t know about. I am very excited to head off to UW Stevens Point, but will never forget where I came from and who has helped me to get here. Thank you to everyone who has helped me and followed along with my life over the past 18 years, hopefully you will be able to continue to for a long time!

Tigers repeat! First at State baseball GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

The Webster Tiger baseball team did repeat their championship win of last year by posting an 11-1 win over the Mineral Point Pointers in Thursday's WIAA Division 4 Championship game at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute.

When asked if the rain of Wednesday affected his players' performance, Coach Jarrod Washburn said, "It got the kids an extra hour of sleep (today) and that's good for the kids. It was actually a blessing in disguise as we played the 8 a.m. game yesterday and it got the boys forced to stay in and rest."

Webster, once again, was the visiting team and came up to bat first. Jack Washburn got on via a single but was left on base.

A single by Mineral Point, a Webster error and a past ball got MP their first and only run of the game in the bottom of the first inning.

After that, Tiger pitcher Jack Washburn kept the Pointers off the scoreboard.

During the remaining innings on the mound, Wash-

burn allowed no hits, no runs, no walks and struck out 12. He had five 1-2-3 innings in that stretch of time.

On the Tiger offensive side, Webster got to work in the second inning, erasing the 0-1 deficit and taking the lead at 5-1. A double by Trevor Gustafson, singles by Brad Sigfrids and Coleton Peterson started the inning. Matt Buffington

was hit by a pitch. After an out, Carsen Stenberg singled.

A second out came. Then Jack Washburn singled the fifth run in.

Two additional runs were scored in the fourth. Tanner Pardun singled, Stenberg walked, Owen Washburn singled and subsequently stole second and third bases. He came home on a fly ball to the

outfield.

Mineral Point's pitcher may have been tiring as in the seventh inning the Tigers got four more runs in. Two singles, three walks and a hit batsman were the scoring plays.

The Pointers went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the seventh to end the game.

Trevor Gustafson had a double and a single. Owen Wash-

burn, Jack Washburn, Coleton Peterson and Tanner Pardun each had two singles.

"This is a special group," continued Coach Washburn. "I can't say that too many times.

These kids are great kids and they worked their butts off.

They all used the talent they have and that makes my job easier."

When asked when he took the job if he anticipated these results, Washburn responded, "Somewhat. I knew that the future was really bright for Webster with the young kids coming up. These young kids are the seniors now. I was coaching these kids since third and fourth grade when I retired (from pro ball). I knew that there was talent. I also knew there would be some lumps for a few years to turn the program around, and now it is here for years to come."

So, the Webster Tigers are repeat WIAA Division 4 baseball champions and the stage has been confirmed and supported on a solid foundation in a legacy for years to come.

Congratulations, Webster Tigers, for a job well done and memories to cherish.

On the west side of the Club's acreage, one can find the youngsters, including the Grantsburg High School Trap Shooting team practicing for their upcoming competitions.

Says Peggy Jensen, one of the volunteers, “14 of our team's 33 shooters from sixth to 12th grades participated in the State Tournament. Grantsburg placed 19th of 73 schools at State this year.”

“Starting with the youth .22 shoot, they (the kids) can start when they're eight years old and go all the way to age 18. It costs them $2 to shoot 50 rounds.

We score half of those rounds and half of those rounds are fun rounds. We do it to help them understand how to handle a gun safely. They use two different

sights on a gun and they practice different things. They get to be comfortable and know how to shoot a gun safely and have fun while they are doing it. We have great sponsors here in town that help provide things as the $2 doesn't cover the cost of ammunition. They (the sponsors) are so good to us. There are volunteers who come every week so that we can have safety officers for one-on-one help if that's what the kids need.”

“We have 10-20 on any given night as they don't all come on one night.”

A number of the participating high school team members received awards, including Charlie Ambelang, 25 Straight; Carter Johnson, 25 Straight; Grace Covey, 75 Straight; Grace Covey, First Place Varsity Females with a score of 99/100; and Grace Covey, Second Place Varsity Females for the Conference (an award based on regular-season scores).

Says Volunteer Jensen in conclusion, “A 'shout-out' goes to the coaches of the

Reflections of the Season GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

As the Webster Tigers have reached the pinnacle of the season in winning the State Baseball Championship, here are a few comments from the coach and some of the players regarding the 2019 baseball campaign.

From Coach Jarrod Washburn, “I am so proud of them.

It would have been easy for this team after winning the championship last year, dropping from D3 to D4, to just coast through the season.

They could be cocky and over confident. But they didn't do that. Instead, they took it one game at a time. They set a goal early in the season to get back to State.”

Regarding practices, “It's the easiest thing to run with these guys. They know what to do and they get their work done.

It's just amazing.”

“The senior leaders we have teach the younger players we have how to play the game and it's so fun to watch.”

“As a coach, my job is easier.

They (the kids) police themselves well. They know the jobs that needs to be done, the homework that needs to be done, the preparation for the game. I don't need to say anything. At practice, they're already doing it before I can tell them it needs to be done.

I'm really spoiled. It's really special.”

Thinking back, “It was on a Saturday after we had lost the regional basketball game and they were pretty bummed about that. After school on Monday, 13 of them showed up at my house to use the cage.” “'Aren't you guys going to take a little time off?'” “'No' was the answer. 'The best way to forget about the

goals high this year.'”

When asked about team goals and individual goals, Coach answered with “Don't

try to be someone else. Be who you are and use the skills you have, improve those skills and make yourself better.”

A few of the Tigers were asked what was running through their minds following the championship game and what they felt the baseball program did for them.

Carsen Stenberg: “It's meant a lot, just coming here, being at Webster. It's just something special. The baseball atmosphere here is something very special. It means a lot to all of us. I just love it here. Developing friendships here is the biggest thing. Just coming together as one and loving each other. That's what's most important.”

Brad Sigfrids: “I don't even know right now. It's so crazy, so awesome. It's unbelievable, honestly. It turned out so perfect. Nothing could have gone better. Unbelievable, the friends and family that I got from this program. I just couldn't have it any other way.

It's just a great time. The coach has meant a lot. You couldn't ask for anything better. He was just perfect for this program.

Coach will continue being awesome. Everybody will be happy to have him as a coach.”

Hunter Rosenbaum: “Excitement. It's just joy. So much joy. Coach Washburn has done a great job, not only for me and my class but also the classes coming up. They have a shot to continue the legacy of the Webster Tigers. He does very well getting everybody involved. It's fundamentally strong and Coach Washburn is part of that. On and off the field, he is the same guy. He's like another “Dad” to us. We don't call ourselves a team, we call ourselves family because we are so close. That's what we are, one big family.”

Trevor Gustafson: “It's a great feeling, something we've SEE REFLECTIONS, PAGE 17

GRAND CHUTE––It wasn't dry.

It wasn't easy. It wasn't pretty, but the Webster Tigers held on to take a 4-3 win from the Athens Fighting Blue Jays to advance to the Championship game Thursday against the Belmont Braves or the Mineral Point Pointers at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium.

The Tigers, once again, were the visiting squad and came to the plate first, enduring a light rainfall.

Carsen Stenberg got off to a good start by smacking a double.

The next batter, Owen Washburn, singled him home. On an error by the Blue Jays shortstop, Washburn made it to third. Moments later, he was caught leading off for an out and then two successive batters failed to get on base.

Athens failed to score in their

half of the first.

Both teams went scoreless in the second.

The third inning saw Webster get one run. Mason Gustafson got on via an error and later scored on a Hunter Rosenbaum single.

Athens got a runner on in the third but left him stranded, but in the bottom of the fourth, the Blue Jays scored once. A single and a double were the two hits that scored the run.

Inning five went blank for both squads.

The Tigers got two insurance runs in the sixth which eventually proved to get the victory. Rosenbaum singled. Then with one out, Brad Sigfrids doubled him home.

Coleton Peterson singled Sigfrids across the plate. Matt Buffington also singled but was left stranded.

Athens got two more runs off Tiger pitcher Hunter Rosenbaum in

the bottom of the sixth. A single, a Tiger error and a ground out made the score 4-3 for the Tigers. Rosenbaum got the next two batters to fly out and ground out respectively.

Rosenbaum singled in the top of the seventh but was left on base.

In the bottom of the seventh, Jack Washburn came on in relief to pitch for Webster. The first batter walked, but then the Tigers pulled off a 6-4-3 double play to clear the bases. The last batter grounded to second for the third out and the win for Webster.

Rosenbaum pitched six innings, had eight hits and three runs against him, walked none and struck out eight. Washburn went the last inning with one walk allowed.

The Tigers continued their quest for a second State Title Thursday at 9 a.m. at the stadium in Grand Chute.

W-S-F-L-G Rival Cup Winners Brandon Fossum Memorial Golf Tournament Luke Anderson, Joey Duncan, Gus Bergman, Erick Bergman.

This year’s tournament was held at the Frederic Golf Course. The winning team was representing Grantsburg School District and Grantsburg also had the most teams play so the Grantsburg School District Dollars for Scholars will receive $750.00 in Memory of Brandon Fossum.

The additional proceeds made from this tournament will also go towards scholarships for any student that applies majoring in Mechanical Engineering or Golf Course Management from the Webster, Siren, Frederic, Luck and Grantsburg School Districts.

Grace Covey wins First Place High School girls, Second Place Overall Grace Covey of Grantsburg High School was the First Place Winner of the Varsity Girls Division at the State Trap Shooting Meet held in Rome (rural Nekoosa), Wisconsin recently. In combining both the Varsity Boy’s and Girl’s Divisions, Grace came home with Second Place honors.

always worked for. I always thought it was going to happen, so it's good. It's fun to get it done. Everyone is really close together and that's really nice. It's not just baseball, it's our whole family. So every time you go to baseball practice, you're not dreading going because you get to hang out with your friends. It's always been nice. We've always had good leaders and good seniors that have always helped us out so it's been fun.

Jack Washburn: “I don't know. Just doing it again with these guys. All the time and the work that we put in, it means the world to me. Baseball all my life has taught me leadership skills and how to be a great teammate.

That will help me in whatever I do in life, not just baseball.”

Coleton Peterson: “Well, it's an emotional day. So happy to go out this way, and sad that's it's come to an end. A great way to go out. We're held to a higher expectation. So it's helped all of us to grow together. We've all been together forever and done stuff together and getting to where we are now. We're going to have to come back next year and work hard. We're losing five seniors so we have our work cut out for us.”

There are high hopes for future Tiger baseball championships. The legacy has been started. The program is in place. The people are in place. The support is there. The sky is the limit. Only time will tell.

Have a great off season and I'll see you in the bleachers next spring.

Come into God’s presence

Pastor Emory L. Johnson New Hope Lutheran Church

Come into God’s presence. Take some time to pray. Think about God’s word and live for Him each day. This is God’s desire for you and me and it is the way to have an abundant and meaningful life.

God’s desire for each of us is to develop a relationship with Him, to love Him and to grow closer to Him. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus) that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.�

God wants you to have eternal life. “Seek

the Lord and you will find Him, if you search for Him with all your heart.� Deuteronomy 4:29 Pray. Talk to God. Communicating with a person is one way we grow in our relationship to them and it is one way we grow in our relationship with God. When I worked as a chaplain with emotionally disturbed young people, many would tell me that they can’t pray. I would then tell them, “Just think about God.� If you cannot pray, then just start by thinking about God because

Jury convicts New Richmond man for killing son HUDSON––On June 13, 2019, Kayle A. Fleischauer was found by guilty by a jury of second-degree reckless homicide for the killing of his son, Chase A. Fleischauer. The trial was presided over by St. Croix County Judge Scott Needham.

“Thank you to those investigators and prosecutors whose work resulted in a guilty verdict in this case,” said Attorney General Josh Kaul. “This verdict would not have been possible without critical analysis by the Division of Forensic Sciences.”

The evidence presented at trial established that on April 14, 2018, Kayle Fleischauer killed Chase Fleischauer. Chase died of a gunshot wound to the head.

The prosecution presented extensive evidence of the beating to which Chase was subjected by the defendant, his father, before Chase was shot, and of the defendant’s defiant and obstructive conduct towards the police investigating at his house immediately after the shooting, demonstrating that he was the murderer.

The conviction was obtained because of an investigation conducted by the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office, New Richmond Police Department, Ramsey County Medical Examiner, and Wisconsin State Patrol. New Richmond Emergency Medical Services also assisted.

DNA, firearms, and fingerprint evidence was analyzed by the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Forensic Science, with assistance from the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory crime scene response team.

The prosecution of this case has been handled by Assistant Attorney General Bob Kaiser of the DOJ Division of Legal Services Criminal Litigation Unit and St. Croix County Assistant District Attorney Erica Ellenwood.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for August 30, 2019 at 1 p.m. Second-degree reckless homicide carries a penalty of up to 25 years or $100,000 fine or both.
