Graduate’s project honors Sgt. Carson Holmquist

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—A high school senior’s final community service project provides a tribute to a local fallen hero.

Austin Casey needed another project to complete his required 40 hours of community service before graduating with the class of 2017. A Grantsburg High School staff member suggested Casey build a garden box for flowers near the sign that commemorates Highway 87 between Grantsburg and St. Croix Falls as “Carson Holmquist Memorial Highway.”

Violet Star Reynolds case set for sentencing

BY SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY—The trial of Violet Star Reynolds was originally set to begin Monday, June 5, but Reynolds informed the court she was “ready to move on.”

Instead, a plea hearing was brought to the courtroom.

Burnett County District Attorney Bill Norine represented the state, while Reynolds was by represented by Shirlene Perrin.

The incidents date back to about Nov. 14, 2014 in Webster.

According to the complaint, Reynolds, 34, at the time, is reported to have entered the bedroom of a boy, 11 at the time, and threatened the boy and forced

him to engage in intercourse.

Originally, Reynolds faced two counts of first degree sexual assault of a child. At the hearing, the reading of the plea agreement indicated that the charges are being amended. Reynolds is being charged with one count of second degree sexual assault of a child (a Class C Felony) and the second charge will be read in and dismissed on the day of sentencing.

‘Cemetery Angels’ praise Ekdall care

BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

BURNETT COUNTY—Some call them the “flower fairies,” but they prefer “Cemetery Angels.”

A group of relatives and friends from three states have cleaned up family cemetery plots in northwestern Wisconsin since the mid 1980s.

“We come sometime in May when we can get away,” says Donna Ramsdell Wheelock of Fairbanks, Alaska. “My sister Dianne Ramsdell Cabler lives in Quilcene, Wash. Linda Wise Beehler lives in East Bethel, Minn. Jeanne Ellstrom Priest lives in Duluth and Lynette Noyes Schaefer lives in Hinckley. For many years, when we were all working, it was more difficult to coordinate all this.

“My mother and her aunt did it before us,” says Wheelock. “We take care of the family at Clover Cemetery in Hinckley, plus cemeteries at Danbury, Webster, Ekdall, Grantsburg and Rush City.

“We also drive to honor our great grandmothers in the Pioneer Cemetery in Houlton, Wis., just a few miles out of Stillwater.

“We finish with a visit to the family plot at Fairview in Stillwater and cemeteries in Somerset and Milaca.

“We usually spend a couple of days of getting to all of these cemeteries.

We replace broken or missing pots and straighten out the metal holders, etc.

“Since we are from out of town, my sister and I fly into MSP airport and go directly to the Caribou Coffee Shop.

“Then, we get a trunkful of silk flowers and the equipment we may need, and we all meet up in Hinckley and start from there.”

What brings them attention from other cemetery visitors is that they also clean gravesites and stones of persons and families unknown and unrelated to them. “We place flowers on family members’ graves as well as others that may not have anyone left to take care of it,” Wheelock said. They also clean the neglected nearby graves of soldiers from the Civil War and other conflicts.

Praise for Ekdall community Recently, they visited the Sentinel office in Grantsburg because they wanted to acknowledge the work by the Ekdall community to improve its cemetery.

“The Ekdall community put a lot of work and money into fixing fallen and broken monuments. They cleaned them and put in new markers where there were none, or where markers were faded or missing,” Wheelock said.

“Twenty years ago, the Ekdall cemetery had thigh-high grass and weeds throughout. Many copper lambs were placed by the babies’ graves, and all went missing during the 1990s. There are only a few cement lambs left.”

They do question what happens to the pots that are gone when they return every spring. “We generally have to replace a dozen pots every year,” Wheelock said.

Fading tradition As some will recall, Memorial Day was originally called “Decoration Day.” Families visited the cemeteries of their loved ones to honor them and also to weed, care for annual plants and add new plants and flowers. Sadly, that tradition seems to be fading away.

Sometimes the group enlists help from someone with a tractor or loader to lift

fallen or toppled stones for them. They say they’re a ‘dying breed’ but hope others will be inspired to take up the work.

“We all realize that when we are gone, that will probably be the end of it,” Wheelock says. “But, while we are still able to add some color and remember our people, it is something we do together and feel it is a worthwhile project.”

Wheelock added, “Shirley and Jerry Nelson have a connection to Ekdall Cemetery. They said they would see the flowers and fresh-clipped grass around

the stones. They began to call us the ‘flower fairies’ as they didn’t know who was putting them on.

“I met Shirley when she wrote the Ekdall Community Book. I told her we have put flowers out for many years. She said they tried to figure out when the “flower fairies” would come to see who was doing it, but we are inconsistent.

“This flower project has caused all of us to research our ancestors and appreciate those who came before us. It can be very therapeutic,” Wheelock closed.

SPOONER—Best-selling author Nickolas Butler will be reading from and signing his newest book, The Hearts of Men, at 7 p.m.

Thursday, June 15 at Northwind Book & Fiber in downtown Spooner.

From the Eau Claire area, Butler’s first book, Shotgun Lovesongs, about five high school friends returning to their small hometown, was a national bestseller.

In The Hearts of Men, Butler tells another story set in rural Wisconsin—at Camp Phillips in Haugen (renamed Camp Chippewa in the book).

“His protagonist, Nelson Doughty, is an unforgettable character,” says Carol Dunn, owner of Northwind. In 1962 at the start of the novel, Nelson is 13, a social outcast and the bugler sounding reveille each morning. This particular summer marks the beginning of a tenuous friendship with a popular boy named Jonathan. We return to these characters and to the camp over the years as generations attend the camp.

The Hearts of Men is a sweeping, panoramic novel about the slippery definitions of good and evil, family and fidelity, the challenges and

After speaking at 7 p.m., Butler will be available to sign his books. For more information, contact Northwind Book & Fiber at 715-6356811.

Correction

In last week’s Page 1 feature on Jerry Fielder, The Sentinel inadvertently stated that Jerry and his wife, Norma, moved to Grantsburg with three children. That is a mistake. They moved with four boys. Sorry for the error. And, congratulations, Jerry, on your upcoming 80th birthday.

Dairy has big impact

BY SECRETARY BEN BRANCEL WISCONSIN DEPT OF AG, TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION (DATCP)

MADISON—The benefits of Wisconsin’s dairy industry reaches far beyond the barn doors. While our Wisconsin farm families rely on the dairy business for their livelihood, we all rely on dairy for the impact it has on our state’s economy, culture and future. Let’s honor them during June Dairy Month.

Dairy contributes $43.4 billion to Wisconsin’s economy annually. That is more than the combined value of citrus to Florida, potatoes to Idaho, apples to Washington and raisins to California. These dollars support local communities, businesses and schools.

Our friends and neighbors in both urban and rural areas of the state have jobs that are related to the state’s dairy industry. The dairy industry employs 78,900 people in the state. Jobs created by dairy businesses bring long-term stability to local employment bases. Every job in agriculture supports an additional 1.46 jobs elsewhere in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin’s universities and technical schools prepare young people for future careers in the dairy business, from animal science and biotechnology to equipment engineering and marketing.

Wisconsin’s dairy industry is changing, but it continues to be strong. No two farms are identical.

Some farms are small and rely on robotic technology for milking. Others are large and produce organic milk. With more than 9,000 dairy farms and 400 dairy processors, we all benefit from these beautiful bovines and the quality products created from their milk.

More than a quarter of the nation’s cheese is made right here in our state by our cheeseheads.

Our dairy processors create more than 600 types, styles and varieties of cheese, and they continue to do research to ensure they are meeting our customer needs in the future. At national and international award events, Wisconsin’s cheesemakers are recognized for their quality work, taking home top prizes again and again.

Wisconsin’s reputation as a dairy state has spread around the world. Wisconsin sells its agricultural products to 150 different countries. When you say you are from Wisconsin, international government officials and business leaders are engaged in how they can learn from our expertise or buy our products. Wisconsin’s cows produce milk every day of the week. One day out of seven, this milk is being made into products that will go beyond our country’s borders.

The World Dairy Expo calls Wisconsin home.

Each fall, the dairy industry comes to Madison to meet for the five-day event. World Dairy Expo features a premier dairy show with more than 2,000 elite dairy cattle. The enormous trade show allows agribusinesses to showcase the latest in technology and research. The business meetings and farm tours that occur during World Dairy Expo build connections that continue to grow throughout the year.

Let’s celebrate June Dairy Month! Plan to attend the Burnett County Dairy Breakfast from 6 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 17 at the Cris and Gary Peterson dairy farm. See more details in this issue. Support your dairy farmers. Take a tour and enjoy a meal together. Whenever you enjoy a dairy product, you are contributing to Wisconsin’s success story.

Has it been 50 years?

BY TOM STANGL PUBLISHER

Last Friday, June 2, marked the 50th anniversary of the American release of what many, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, consider to be the most influential album of all time. “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” hit the shelves and the airwaves, and the rest, as the saying goes, is history.

I was all of six years old at this time, with four older siblings at home. The Beatles dominated the album cabinet and the old suitcase that contained the 45s. Those of you reading this who From the Publisher’s remember 33 1/3 rpm vinyl albums and 45 rpm singles probably feel like I Desk do when discussing music of this era.

The first part of the discussion is Tom Stangl technological (“You would stack red and d one would play after the other finished?” cords “Yeah, kind of like an iPod, only much larger, much heavier and infinitely less sophisticated.”), the second part is much easier, because the music has endured.

In addition to the Beatles, the Guess Who, Steppenwolf, the Bee Gees (yes, they did exist before 1977) and the Beach Boys were often stacked up on the downstairs stereo that was encased in a wooden cabinet that my oldest brother built in shop class, as well as the smaller record players that were in the rooms of my sisters, who were gaga over the Beatles. That was, they were when my dad wasn’t around.

The Chief wasn’t a fan of the newfangled rock and roll music. Said it would never last. After my brother installed an 8-track (ask your parents if you don’t know) player in the car, the Chief did develop a fondness for Johnny Cash “Live from Folsom Prison.” I believe I heard that tape so many times I could still fake

my way through “Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog.” But I digress...

My oldest sister, who was 17 the summer Sgt. Pepper came out, was in love with John Lennon. She had both of his books, as well as one of those little black and white hound’s tooth caps that he caused a sensation wearing.

My other sister was 11 the summer of ‘67 and got Sgt. Pepper for Christmas, a prized possession that she still has today.

Music has a very unique way to evoke strong memories associated with the time that you heard the song.

Some people have songs that they demand not to hear, because the memories are too painful.

Others have songs that can transport them to a time and place that was special in their lives. “Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog” evokes memories of taking the trash out to the town dump with the Chief and taking the long way home afterwards.

Much has been written about the Beatles, and in doing research for this column, Sgt. Pepper brought about many technological innovations for recording, including one of the first uses of the Dolby noise reduction system which is a standard now.

The engineers had only four tracks to record all of the sounds, forcing some unique arrangements. The music was a product of its time and I’ll leave it to Beatles fans and historians to decide the significance of the album.

Perhaps it’s my age or my upbringing, but it still sounds pretty good to me, even after 40 years.

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.

A Fence Saga (Part II)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you, donors and volunteers To the Editor: May was a big month for Ruby’s Food Shelf in Siren. We received 899 pounds of food from our neighbors in Siren and Frederic, thanks to the hunger drive sponsored by the U.S. Post Office.

Another big thank you goes to the enthusiastic teenage girls from Northwest Passage who put these donations on the shelves. The shelves were soon full of a variety of canned goods, condiments, quick meals and baking necessities – just in time for summer break.

At the “FriendRaiser Fundraiser Fair” from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, June 9 at Tessora Restaurant of Siren, Ruby’s Food Shelf will be one of four Burnett and Polk County food shelves receiving a generous check.

This donation is the result of many kind people donating to the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation’s “We’re All in This Together” campaign against hunger.

More than $8,000 was raised! Ruby’s will use these funds to supplement food we don’t usually receive from Ruby’s Pantry Distributions. Thank you to all who supported this campaign.

At the end of May, Ruby’s Garden started to see some little seedlings popping up in our hoop house thanks to the ongoing help from two teenager boys from Northwest Passage. It won’t be long before we will have some fresh radishes to give to Ruby’s Food Shelf recipients. We are also excited that local gardeners are interested in donating their extra seeds, seedlings and/or fresh produce. We look forward to being able to provide recipients with fresh tomatoes, peppers and other produce later this summer.

While we have been very fortunate and are very grateful for these gifts, along with receiving regular generous donations from Fourwinds Market, Wayne’s Foods Plus and other donors, we are still in need.

Ruby’s Food Shelf is run by dedicated volunteers who donate their time. Currently, Ruby’s Food Shelf needs volunteers to help from 10 a.m.-noon or 12-2 p.m. on Mondays.

If you are looking for a great way to give to your community, please stop by Ruby’s Second Hand Store in Siren and let them know you want to volunteer.

Thank you.

Patti Hurd, Coordinator Ruby’s Food Shelf Siren

To the Editor: My wife and I are property owners in Washburn County. We are extremely concerned about the recent discovery of Zebra mussels in Big McKenzie Lake in northeastern Burnett County. As you may know, this is an invasive species that can spread quickly from lake to lake.

It is also an animal that will have a devastating impact to the ecological wellbeing of any lake or river which is infested.

Destructive properties Zebra mussels: • Eat plankton, remove food for fish and deflect sunlight, causing out-of-control weed growth and fish annihilation.

• Form dense colonies on anything in the water – boats, motors, docks, trailers, rocks, markers etc.

• Leave a razor-like layer on the bottom and shore, making barefoot walking hazardous.

Infestation results The results of such an infestation are: • Recreational usage is dramatically reduced – fishing, swimming and beauty.

• Drop in tourism.

• Rapid decline in property value and tax basis.

• No manageable solution once it is in the waters.

What can we do?

I hope the answer is “everything possible.” Some suggestions are: • Control access to and from the McKenzie Lake chain to try to keep the Zebra mussels contained to those waters.

• Alert marinas and professional trailer companies to use unexposed trailers on uninfected waters.

• Promote boat and trailer cleaning equipment for conscientious boaters.

• Control access to uninfected lakes.

• Educate all resorts, marinas, lake associations and districts to the emergency situation facing our vacation land.

This is a serious issue which will NOT go away or take care of itself. We will need the cooperation of every agency, department or group that can help contain these invaders. Once they’re here, they’re here forever.

We would appreciate any and all action to address this problem.

Having buried 27 fence posts by hand, dismantled an old baby crib and prepared pieces of it for a two-door gate, I went from lawn lady and demolition dame to builder babe.

The remainder of that rainy day was spent putting the crib pieces together, often pondering my next step given my limited equipment, knowledge, tools and experience – practically zero.

Newbie in But, “where there’s a will, there’s a way.” the NorthI ended up with a few more drill holes than woods needed after discoverLori Callahan ing a particular step wasn’t going to work.

The screws were installed by hand since previous experience has taught me I only strip the heads with drill. Even by hand, a few screws are not flush. Two slips of the driver and I’m done – beyond that, it’s only stripping again.

Outfitted with eye-and-hook latches inside and out and three vertical eye hooks to hold the stop for the second door needed only for mower entrance, all that remained were hinges and attachment to the posts. I was anticipating that was no small feat for me either.

I don’t know how someone gets to be my age never having installed hinges, but it’s true, another virgin effort.

Though the pictures on the back of the packages sure looked backward to me, I followed the diagram.

The first door went on relatively easily. Not so tough. The second door, too.

There was only one problem: they were not level with each other. So, I sighed, inspected the most likely culprit, then detached and re-attached the first door.

More extra holes.

up. Simply trying to get each 50-foot length to stand for attachment was grueling with the hilly terrain and my lack of strength. That won the curse award.

Burying the bottom of the fence was time consuming – the staples purchased didn’t hold. I knew my work was sound, however, when I watched a squirrel run up and back behind the fence looking for entry beneath it and failing. I ran out of fencing for the last 20 feet. After searching locally, I found some at the dairy. It was of heavier weight – as if it wasn’t enough trouble handling the former, lighter-weight roll – but I would make it work.

It’s tough working alone to stand and stretch curled wire fencing. Of the expression “Education is expensive,” the words “time consuming” and “exhausting” need to be added.

The wire cutters that worked on the first rolls of fencing did not work on the heavier roll. So, out again comes my handy dandy saw that I don’t know the name of. (It could be a hacksaw – seems fitting. This may be the year, too, that I need to change that blade out.)

Cut to size, the last stretch of fencing was mounted, unmounted and mounted again. More education: first attach the end where exactness isn’t critical – unless I wanted to saw the offending end off again, which I did not.

Anyone who knows what they’re doing may laugh at my fence – in particular, the very white gate that appears to be “floating” all by itself, the wire fencing on either side practically invisible.

I don’t know why I hadn’t foreseen that visual. Certain family members – with their everything-new, perfect, museum-like homes and yards – would be horrified to find such a fence in their yard. That amuses me.

Maybe I’ll paint it camouflage.

On the other hand, I may leave it. Who doesn’t like to be amused?

Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under.

Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well.

The following locations will be serving the free meals this summer: Grantsburg, Siren and Webster.

Free summer meals for children SIREN – In Siren, serving will be in the school Com-

County law enforcement to implement new training system

BY SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Burnett County— A discussion at the most recent Public Safety Committee meeting revealed that Burnett County Law Enforcement will be implementing Lexipol – a provider of state-specific law enforcement policy content with integrated daily training.

Bryan Chance of Wisconsin County Mutual said, “Laws, rules and policies are changing so much in law enforcement. It is difficult to keep up.”

Chance described Lexipol as a group of attorneys that keep up to date on the changes in law enforcement policy. He mentioned that while the organization is located in Calif., the program is able

to localize for usage in Burnett County.

More than 1,800 public safety organizations representing 100,000 law enforcement and fire personnel in 20 states use the Lexipol system.

Sheriff Ron Wilhelm supports the usage, stating, “Lexipol will help us develop and maintain a comprehensive policy and procedure manual that our officers will have access to electronically. The points I like are the constant training and updates.

“In our world of an ever-changing environment, we need to stay abreast of new laws and procedures. The daily training bulletins will reduce liability, enhance accountability and improve policy understanding.”

Amber Alerts gets updated web site MADISON—At the Missing Persons Remembrance Ceremony Thursday at the State Capitol in recognition of National Missing Children’s Day, Attorney General Brad Schimel announced the launch of a new, more user-friendly Amber Alert website.

“On National Missing Children’s Day, we renew our commitment to finding the missing and exploited of all ages in our state,” said Schimel. “Whether there is an abducted child, a grandparent who is confused and walked away from their home or an exploited victim of human trafficking, Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) will be there with our agents, analysts and victim services to help victims, families and communities.”

The Wisconsin DOJ provides critical support when a child or adult goes missing in Wisconsin, both in the immediate aftermath and over the length of an investigation.

“Wisconsin Amber and Silver Alert programs provide immediate notification to the public when a person goes missing. In 2016, two Amber Alerts were issued in Wisconsin, both involving stolen cars with children in the backseat. In both instances, the children were recovered safely. Since the

Silver Alert began in August 2014, 174 missing individuals have been recovered alive and safe in Wisconsin.

The DOJ Child Abduction Response Team (CART) is trained and prepared at all times to respond to a report of a missing, endangered or abducted child by leveraging resources for search-andrescue efforts and to assist the agency of jurisdiction in its investigation. The DOJ CART is the only federally certified team in Wisconsin and the 22nd certified team in the United States.

Wisconsin Missing & Exploited Persons Resources: • The new Amber Alert Wisconsin website will keep you informed of active Amber Alerts in Wisconsin.

• Get notification of active Silver Alerts in your community on Facebook and Twitter.

• Sign up for crime alerts, Amber Alerts and Silver Alerts in your community at the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network.

• The Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Persons contains information about every missing person in Wisconsin, including unsolved and unidentified cases.

While the maximum amount of prison time involved for a case such as this is 40 years and a fine of $100,000, or both, the plea agreement was read out and indicates Reynolds faces a 20-year bifurcated sentence with five years of incarceration followed by 15 years of extended supervision.

Reynolds pleaded no contest and was found guilty.

During the same hearing, Reynolds was brought up on a felony charge of possession of methamphetamine to which she pleaded guilty. The penalty being a $10,000 fine or three years and six months in prison, or both. It was noted that in that same case, 19 other counts will be read in and dismissed at the time of sentencing: one count each of possession of THC, drug paraphernalia, and disorderly conduct, along with 16 charges of felony bail jumping.

In addition, Reynolds originally faced two charges of theft of movable property (<=$2500, Misdemeanor A).

She was charged with one count and the other will be read in at sentencing as restitution. She faces up to a $10,000 fine or nine months in prison, or both.

When Judge James R. Erickson asked Reynolds if she understood the plea agreement and was aware that if she agreed, it would waive her right to a jury trial, she responded, “Yes, I’m tired. I don’t want to fight anymore.”

During the hearing, Perrin made the court aware that Reynolds has “significant and ongoing health concerns.” Perrin told the court Reynolds has undergone multiple competency evaluations throughout the course of this case.

One doctor found Reynolds to be competent while another claimed it may be possible, because of mental illness, that she “comes in and out of competency.”

Perrin continued, “So, today I did take the effort to ensure that [Reynolds] understands that what she is doing today is what she wants to do and that she is thinking clearly and understands.”

It was indicated during the hearing that several other cases concerning Reynolds will be read-in during the day of sentencing.

Reynolds’ sentencing is scheduled for 1 p.m., July 27 in Burnett County Circuit Court.

graduate of Grantsburg High School, lost his life in the July 16, 2015 attack on the US Naval and Marine Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

“I thought flowers at the sign would be a good thing for the Holmquist family and for our community,” Casey said.

To firm up his project plan, he drove his truck out to the sign location and looked it over to determine how to build the garden box and where to place it.

At first he planned a large box, but on further thought and some family discussion, he decided the best spot would be to build and place a three-foot-square box right under the sign, between the support posts. He hopes the flowers will attract the eye of drivers and passersby and help draw attention to the sign.

After his site review, the next step was to secure permission from the Village of Grantsburg. That’s because the sign and flower bed are on the boulevard (berm) along the highway on village property and the village mows the grass.

He also asked permission from the Grantsburg fair board because the fairgrounds are on the other side of the fence. Both the village board and fair board agreed that adding the flower box would be a nice tribute to Sgt. Holmquist, Casey said.

Planning the flower bed size and depth were next, with suggestions and input from his parents, Jeremy and Sonya Casey, and sister, Kayla. They all agreed 10 inches was a good depth for the box, so he made a quick trip to Menard’s for a couple of 2 x 10 boards.

A bit of measuring, cutting, drilling in screws, sanding and applying finish coat on the wood were the next

steps for Austin and Jeremy, who was his overseer and assistant. Next, they placed the box and added a layer of landscape fabric to inhibit weed growth.

When it came to selecting and planting flowers, he turned to the school staff member and sister Kayla for help. A mix of annuals and perennials was selected.

After Austin added the soil, Kayla gave him direction on how to arrange and plant the flowers artistically.

“I did the planting, but she told me where and how deep to put them,” Austin said. “She knows a lot more about flowers than me.”

Austin feels deeply about the sacrifice Holmquist, a young father, made for his country. “I didn’t know Carson Holmquist. He was quite a few years ahead of me in school. I actually didn’t know of him until the incident happened. But, along with the rest of our community, I appreciate that he gave his life for his country. I want to thank him for his service.”

Austin will be around the rest of this summer and plans to tend, weed and water the garden box. He invites others from the community to contribute flowers or tend to the box in future years. He put photos of it on his Facebook page and received positive comments.

Soon Austin will start a summer job in road construction. In the fall, he hopes to start at WITC to become a mechanic.

The sign above the flower box reads: Carson Holmquist Memorial Highway. The department shall designate the entire route of Highway STH 87 as the Carson Holmquist Memorial Highway in honor of and recognition of U.S. Marine Sergeant Carson Holmquist, who lost his life in the July 16, 2015 attack on the US Naval and Marine Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Meth: One year later FIRST IN A SERIES DURING JUNE METH AWARENESS MONTH SUBMITTED BY RESTORATIVE JUSTICE OF NORTHWEST WI, INC. & BURNETT COUNTY PREVENTION COALITION

SIREN—It is often said, “What a difference a year can make.”

In this four-part series, we will explore this concept as it pertains to efforts by Burnett County residents to tackle methamphetamine (meth).

Over one year ago, the alarm was sounded on the impact and destruction meth was having on Burnett County.

The effort was started by a non-profit organization called “Wild About Education.” Founder Dave Shoenecker, who owns Wild Waters Sports Bar and Restaurant in Danbury, saw firsthand the terrible affects meth was having on the community. Dave’s concern sparked the county-wide campaign. Many successes and challenges occurred in the past year, and there is still much to do.

Thank you to the Burnett County community. Without you, the progress was not possible.

Following is a timeline of efforts made to educate, inform and combat the methamphetamine epidemic.

• April 2016 – First Burnett County meeting regarding methamphetamine use. Burnett County Board of Supervisors proclaimed June “Meth Awareness Month.” Drug Impairment Training for Education Professionals was held.

• May – First meeting for the Regional Meth effort in Hayward. The launch of the “kNOw Meth” Burnett County Facebook page.

• June – First Meth Town Hall in Siren. Nearly 200 citizens attended. “Hiding in Plain Sight” teenage mock bedroom debut. More than 1,000 people stopped and visited in the past year. “Choose Life over Meth” billboard erected. Campagins with print ads, newspaper series, flyers, billboards, presentations and yard signs.

• July – We expanded the campaign from one billboard to two with the addition of “Do the math, no meth” on State Highway 35 north.

• August – First Meth Diversion Planning meeting.

First meeting about prevention curriculum for 5th grade students. Distributed yard signs at National Night Out community event. Presented at Webster Teacher In-service. Set up “Hiding in Plain Sight” room for the Burnett County Agricultural Society Fair and Webster School Resource Fair.

• September – Presented at Grantsburg Teacher

In-service. Set up the “Hiding in Plain Sight” for Shell Lake School Parent Teacher Conferences.

• October - Held a Meth Town Hall in both Grantsburg and Webster. Set up “Hiding in Plain Sight” room for Grantsburg, Siren and Spooner Parent Teacher Conferences.

• November – Northwest Wisconsin kNOw Meth Stakeholders Meth Forum in Rice Lake. Presented at Siren/Webster Rotary. Held a Youth Meth Town Hall at Siren School District.

• December – Presented at Grantsburg High School’s Health Class on both alcohol and drug awareness. Began teaching prevention to Siren 5th grade students.

• January 2017 – The Burnett County Meth Diversion Program began. The first public service announcement was posted. The 537-METH tip line was expanded from Barron County Sheriff’s Department to include Burnett County. Presented at Siren Teacher In-service. Brian Cole presented his meth prevention message at Siren, Webster and Grantsburg schools. Started Grantsburg and Webster 5th grade drug prevention curriculum.

• February – Mino Bimaadiziwin Drug Awareness Conference hosted by St. Croix Tribal Center. More than 300 in attendance. Trained AODA Community Coalition of Douglas County on how to present “Hiding in Plain Sight” and how to create advocates in the community.

• March – Brian Cole presented at the Northwoods, Shell Lake and Spooner schools. Presented at Grantsburg Rotary. Roadside clean-ups and safe sharps methods were completed and propane tank Awareness Flyers distributed throughout the county and social media.

• April – Regional Meth Summit was held at Heart Wood Resort in Trego. More than 300 in attendance representing 33 counties, eight tribes and 15 elected officials. Completed the Northwest Wisconsin kNOw Meth Stakeholder’s Forum summary and recommendations. Invitation by Senator Harsdorf to present the “Hiding in Plain Sight” Room at the Capital in May. These are some of the highlights from the past year.

The goal is to keep the momentum and efforts going to create a safer and healthy community for our youth.

Siren School Board approves contract for renovations

SIREN— In early May, the Siren School Board held a special meeting and adopted a resolution to exceed revenue limits. These revenue limits were determined not to exceed $1.5 million.

The money will go towards a facility reinvestment initiative and will be paid off in the next five years.

The school administration stressed that they do not believe there will be a raise in the district’s mill tax rates.

The decision is based on the goal of developing a facility improvement plan. On June 5, the board approved a motion to enter into a contract with UNESCO for energy services. UNESCO states their goal to be “to help maximize operational efficiency and improve the quality of learning environments.”

The revenue will be used to pay for the cost of energy efficiency and the improvement of district buildings and grounds including lighting, door and window replacement, water heater and HVAC. Much of UNESCO’s and the Board’s goal is efficiency and to conserve energy costs.

Because this project is still coming to fruition, the timescale for completion is yet to be determined.

However, representatives from UNESCO present at the meeting stated that while some work can be done during the school year, much of the labor will be endured next summer.

The administration estimates that approximately $1.3 million will be saved between 10 and 20 years due to the efforts to increase energy efficiency.

In other business: The Board approved a motion for District Administrator Kevin Shetler to enter into a purchase agreement for the lot adjacent to the current school parking lot (at the corner of 4th and Bradley) for $11,000. Sean Devlin, Editor

GRANTSBURG—Once again the focus of a Grantsburg Village Board meeting was water drainage issues along south Pine Street, but this time in an atmosphere with less rancor and more cooperation among the three parties.

Frank Becvar, Jr., accompanied by his parents Gladys and Chuck, presented his evidence as the aggrieved party.

Becvar says the home he owns at 860 S. Pine Street, and where he has lived virtually his entire life until recent-

ly, has become uninhabitable due to dampness and mold. Water below the ground is as much an issue as groundwater, he says. He has said previously that his neighbors along the street have basement sump pumps that run year-round due to soil saturation.

Becvar had the entire board’s full attention as his issue was the only item on the agenda during the one-hour meeting.

Leading the village board and asking the most questions was Village President Larry Ebersold, but all other SEE VILLAGE BOARD, PAGE 14

Burnett Area Arts Group becomes non-profit SIREN—State and federal revenue departments have notified The Burnett Area Arts Group (B.A.A.G.) that its application to become a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization was granted.

The new status allows B.A.A.G. to expand its vision as a regional visual arts organization and increase its outreach to area artists (both students and adults) and local community members.

B.A.A.G. recently moved from its former location on the north side of Siren and is exploring options for a new location. As a result, the group’s previous 2017 art exhibits and workshops schedule are being revised.

A grant-writing and fundraising campaign is planned.

June is Meth Awareness Month. Most of us are aware of the Methamphetamine (meth) problem in Burnett County. There have been town hall meetings, billboards, yard signs and public service announcements all with the same message: meth is here and it is destroying lives.

There is no such thing as being “functional” while using meth. Meth will slowly but surely bring the individual using meth to the lowest depths imaginable.

Recent studies including the 2016 Wisconsin Methamphetamine Study by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Wisconsin Statewide Intelligence Center and the Southeast Wisconsin Threat Analysis state that meth use expanded from 250-300 percent from 2010 to 2015.

State lawmakers have been focusing on heroin, while this report explains “meth has quietly surged to a point where the misuse or cases, arrests, and charges are on par with heroin.”

Meth has not been so quiet in Burnett County.

The Wisconsin State Patrol reported meth related cases jumped 136 percent, while grams of meth seized from 2010 to 2014 rose by 1,592 percent. In terms of Burnett County, grams seized from 2014 to 2015 rose 1,363 percent.

In conjunction with the increase in meth use, our community is seeing more health and dental expenses, significant increases in child-neglect cases typically ending in the removal of children, and more property crimes and violent criminal offenses.

This all leads to an increased burden on your tax dollars. The national prediction is that it will cost 23.4 billion dollars to treat this addiction. It is estimated that Wisconsin alone will be paying 424 million dollars.

Despite the efforts, our county continues to fight an uphill battle. Reported cases of meth use and those seeking treatment are constant. Local law enforcement officers are diligent in their efforts, but the problem has grown so fast it seems to have little impact given the scope of this epidemic.

The hope is that more resources are made available so treatment needs can be met, preventative measures can be strengthened, and we can start to get ahead of this growing issue.

Burnett County is hoping the plea for help will reach our elected officials and they understand the gravity of our meth problem.

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

Two fabulous nine-year-year old Jack Russell Terriers just came in as surrenders. These two little girls are just the sweetest little dogs. They are very loving gals.

Cleo is very gentle and can be a little on the shy c sside at times. She seems tto be fine with kitties a and larger dogs. I think sshe would best like a nice q quiet home. Cleo is a very ssweet girl, stunning in h her looks with her tri-colo ored coat and weighs in at 119 pounds.

Sammy is outgoing and a at times a cheeky gal who Cleo just loves to have her tummy rubbed. Her coat is a white and tan color. She seems to ignore cats, but is not too keen on other dogs.

While these two came in together, they are not necessarily bonded, so can be adopted individually.

Please give these girls a chance to be loved and to love. Please stop by and meet them for yourself.

The plant sale was a big success for a total of $1,089.75, going directly to helping the animals.

Thanks to all who attended and bought plants. A big round of applause for Becky Dickinson and Peggy Tolbert for all their work on this fundraiser.

Exciting news – we received another grant. This time it was through the St. Croix Valley Foundation and the Belisle Family. We requested and received Sammy $2,000 that will be used forr spay/neuter. We very much appreciate being selected since the cost of these services has increased significantly and this will be a huge help.

Cameo, the sweet kitty I featured last week, is still looking for a home. Handsome Golden Retriever Cody went to his furever home, and the beautiful Toffee may be leaving soon.

Steak salad is a family affair Sometimes I don’t feel like cooking, especially during the summer. I would rather sit on a patio and be served. One of the dinner spots I enjoy is the Watershed Café.

Steve and Rita Rasmuson own the café located in downtown Osceola, situated near the waterfall on main street. The deck overlooks the river valley and is a perfect way to end a summer day.

Not only are Steve and Rita passionate about the food they serve, so is their son, Eli Rasmuson. Eli likes all aspects of running a restaurant – he grew up helping out and doing a little Wild Chow of everything.

He said his parents have 60 years of Lisa Erickson combined restaurant experience.

“I have a passion for the work here,” said Eli. Even though he is only 22, he has a wealth of knowledge and was more than happy to share advice on cooking. “I have been cooking and creating recipes alongside my mom for a while – it’s one of my favorite things to do.”

The steak salad is one of the most popular items the restaurant serves. “The steak salad is very good and easy to make at home,” said Eli. “It’s really all about the cut of meat. If you want a really good steak salad, make sure you pay attention to the kind of cut of meat you use and where you get it from. We only use Peterson’s Limousine Beef. Peterson’s Limousine Beef is more flavorful and we are all about using locally produced foods. We like to know where our food comes from and who raised it or grew it.”

Eli explained that the best way to cook a steak at home is on the grill with charcoal. The meat will be more flavorful with charcoal. He added, if you don’t have a grill, you can pan fry the steak in a cast iron

pan and finish it off in the oven.

Another thing that makes the Watershed Cafe steak salad so good is roasted beets. “The beets are easy to cook and they really complement the steak,” said Rasmuson.

A very satisfying meal at the Watershed or at home.

Grilled Steak Salad Serves 4 1 ½ - 2 lbs. good quality flank steak 2 beets, roasted (see recipe) 8 cups field greens, divided ¼ sliced red onion ½ cup feta cheese, divided ½ cup dried cranberries, divided ½ cup toasted pecans or walnuts, divided ½ cup balsamic vinegar ¼ cup olive oil 2 Tbsp. honey Flake sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

In a small bowl, mix the honey with the balsamic vinegar. Slowly add olive oil. Set aside.

Preheat charcoal grill to hot. Season the steak liberally with the flake salt and fresh ground pepper. Grill steak, searing both sides, until the inside is medium rare, about 130-135 degrees. Set aside and cover with foil for 4-5 minutes. Slice meat into thin strips and divide into 4 portions. Allow meat to cool slightly before placing on top of the salad.

Divide field greens between 4 plates; top greens with onion, feta, dried cranberries, pecans and beets. Top with steak and serve dressing on the side.

Directions for beets: Wrap each beet in tinfoil and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until tender. Cool and slice into strips.

Keeping firewood local to slow invasive species spread MADISON—People heading out camping this summer can do their part to protect Wisconsin’s urban and wildland trees by burning firewood locally and not moving it from location to location.

“Keeping firewood local is one way everyone can do their part to protect Wisconsin’s forests,” said Invasive Forest Pest Program Coordinator Andrea Diss-Torrance with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

For people camping at state parks and forests, state law requires any firewood brought to a property be from within 10 miles of the campground and from outside of a quarantined area in Wisconsin or another state, unless the property is also within a quarantined area. Firewood certified by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection that is processed to kill potential pests and diseases hiding inside is also acceptable.

Most state park and forest campgrounds have firewood available for sale, with hours of firewood sales varying by property. Check on firewood availability by searching the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, for “find a park.” Choose a park or forest property from the dropdown menus. If the property offers camping, click on the link for “camping information.”

People can also use the national Firewood Scout website, www.firewoodscout.org, to check where 800-282-8103 • 715-417-0303 firewood is available.

“SERVING Firewood Scout is operatYOUR AREA” ed by a nonprofit organization established to help people buy firewood lo• Reliable cally. The Department of • Professional Natural Resources does • Insured not verify the accuracy of

• Free Estimates

firewood listings outside of state-managed properties.

Firewood Scout also offers information on invasive species of concern and a set of questions consumers can ask to help assure the wood they purchase is at low risk for spreading invasive insects and diseases.

“Firewood Scout is an excellent outreach tool that raises awareness of invasive species issues while also empowering people with the necessary information to be part of the solution. That is a recipe for success,” said Diss-Torrance.

For more information on the risks of moving firewood or firewood rules in Wisconsin, go to the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, and search keyword “firewood.”

VILLAGE BOARD: Meeting for drainage issue CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

President Larry Ebersold, but all other board members present contributed to the discussion.

The third parties to the meeting were Karl and Becky Anderson. The Andersons own the long lot behind Becvar’s home, except for a portion along State Highway 70 which they sold last year to a developer for construction of a Dollar General Store.

‘Natural waterway’ The Anderson property contains a natural waterway that flows northward toward Wood River. After purchasing the land in the 1990s with an eye toward developing it as commercial property fronting the highway, the Andersons hired a contractor who used a bulldozer and other earth-moving equipment to raise the elevation of the land along the highway.

They also added a holding pond.

One dispute is whether the Andersons had the proper permits to make the landscaping changes.

The permits were to have been obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Wisconsin DNR prior to any earth-moving operations.

The Andersons employed Civil Engineer Warren White of St. Croix Falls to design the project and Wayne Lake Construction of Grantsburg to perform the earth moving work. The Andersons say they were under the impression that all necessary permits had been obtained.

Becvar claims the landscape changes disrupted the natural waterway both above and below ground, and diverted water westward toward the homes. Anderson moved earth again to create a berm to turn the water back to the east, but Becvar says it hasn’t worked.

In his presentation, Becvar kept returning to one comment because it is central to his claim. Quoting from Wisconsin State Statutes 88.9 and Corps of En-

gineers, Becvar said, “The property has a natural watercourse. You cannot slow down the water in a natural watercourse.” Becvar says the solution to his water problems is to restore the natural watercourse.

However, making those changes would require a written engineering plan, extensive new surveying and mapping, water permits, construction permits and earth moving. It would also require involvement by several state/federal agencies that may cooperate or may compete with each other.

‘In good faith’ For his part, Karl Anderson said he moved the project forward many years ago in good faith that all his actions and those of his contractors were proper and legal. Responding to claims from this and previous meetings that he hasn’t correctly maintained the holding pond, Anderson said he cannot move earth without DNR permission and has done what they have directed him to do, which essentially is nothing.

The waterway disturbance could potentially affect the yet-unopened Dollar General Store, too, if Becvar’s claim is correct that the natural watercourse runs across its property and possibly under part of the store.

Even if corrective actions were taken to restore the natural watercourse and relieve the Becvar property’s current water issues, he acknowledges his boyhood home is far too damaged to repair without great expense, and the saturation of his property makes it unsaleable for a new home or other use.

‘Harper’s Hangout’ opens with taco menu

GRANTSBURG—Country Store owners Cliff and Darla Harper on Thursday opened “Harper’s Hangout” on State Road 70 in the former Grantsburg MoJo coffee shop location. The dine-in restaurant with a drive-thru window serves breakfast fare until 10 a.m and Teco’s Tacos until 9 p.m. daily.

They open at 6 a.m. Monday-Saturday with fresh coffee, cappuccino, iced coffee drinks, donuts and breakfast burritos. On Sundays, they open at 7 a.m.

The full Teco’s Tacos menu begins at 10 a.m. “We have many of the foods you would see at Taco Bell® or Taco John’s®,” Darla said, including beef and chicken hard- and soft-shell tacos, a variety of burritos, potato olés, taco salads, taco-in-a-bag and more.

The facility’s dine-in seating and meeting rooms are available to restaurant patrons, Darla added.

The winner of their name-the-restaurant contest was Grantsburg Village Clerk Patti Bjorklund.

Will village buy Becvar property?

Summarizing the meeting, Ebersold asked Becvar if he wanted the village to buy his property, and Becvar responded he would consider it. The board voted to turn the matter over to its administrative committee to make a recommendation to the full board on how to proceed.

SHELL LAKE—The Webster Tigers baseball team is headed to the State tournament after dominating from start to finish on Tuesday in Sectional play.

They defeated Butternut/Mercer 16-1 in five innings in the semi-final game, and then went on to shut down Eau Claire Emmanuel Lutheran 13-0 in five innings to take the Sectional title and punch their ticket to the big show.

The Tigers will open up Division 4 State Tournament play on Wednesday, June 14 at 8:00 a.m. They will face Independence/Gilmanton. The winner will play for the State Championship on Thursday, June 15 at 9:00 a.m.

Area thinclads perform at State Meet

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

LACROSSE—Athletes from Grantsburg, Webster and Siren participated last Friday and Saturday at the State Track Meet at LaCrosse.

“We were very pleased to take three boys to the state meet,” said Grantsburg Coach Brad Nelson.

“John Chenal competed there last year in shot put, so we were glad to see him return, and also to compete in high jump as well. John is a big guy, and it is impressive to see someone his size high jumping, which speaks to his athletic ability.”

Chenal came in 10th place in the high jump with a leap of 6-0. He was sixth in the shot put with a throw of 49-7 ¾.

“Walker Louis has been a star at discus this year and he matched his best throw from the sectional meet.”

Louis placed twelfth in the discus with a toss of 131-5.

“Kyle Fagnan has been the fastest sprinter on our team for two years and it was great to see him compete at state with runners of his ability. It was a hot, but enjoyable weekend.

It’s so great to see our athletes competing in LaCrosse, as well as athletes from around our conference that we have seen throughout the season.”

Noah Koball, Siren, had a

toss of 128-3 in the discus and Tanner Lee heaved the shot a distance of 46-3 ¼.

From Webster, Austin Moser was in the discus and had a 1421 distance to his credit.

Andrew Ruiz ran the 1600 meter run in 4:18.81, good for second place, and the 800 meter run in 1:59.54, for a sixth-place finish. Dustin Kern did the 300 meter hurdles in :43.08 for tenth place.

Webster’s 4x800 meter relay team of Andrew Ruiz, Hunter Erickson, Mason Schaaf and Joey Formanek took fifth with a time of 8:12.29.

For the girls, Sadie Koelz (106) and Jeni Petersen (9-0) of Webster placed fifth and 14th respectively in the pole vault.

Hallie Jensen, Grantsburg, was 13th in the 1600 meter run with a time of 5:38.93.

From Webster Coach Roy Ward, “The Webster Tigers had a great meet. I mentioned before that the atmosphere is like that of the Super Bowl. I don’t think it is that hot in February!

It was steamy especially on Saturday.

“The Division 3 session was on Friday morning this year.

Each year it alternates morning/afternoon. The boys 4x800 team started out the meet running their personal best time of 8:12.29. Andrew (Ruiz) led the team and the race. He has been our best runner all year and

handed the baton off in first place with a 1:57.83 split. Hunter (Erickson) ran second and ran outstanding. He improved the most on the team. Hunter’s split was a 2:08. I was impressed that he was able to hand off in second place. Mason (Schaaf) ran really well with a 2:02 split.

He sure has come on strong this season. Joey (Formanek) finished the race with a 2:03 split and sealed the team’s spot on the podium, locking in fifth place. I was thrilled with their time. I was hoping for a 2:13. I think it is neat to see a group of guys running their hearts out for each other and all their fans. I would like to give a shout out to Kerik (Stubbe) and Xavier (Stanton). You two were great alternates. I appreciate the effort you gave and how you made your teammates better.

You worked just as hard, keep it up and your day will come.

“Austin (Moser) made finals and scored us a point placing eighth. He has improved so much from last year. His best throw of 142-01 came on his first throw in finals. He has a lot of speed in the ring and is passionate about his events.

He is going to be fun to watch!

Thanks Ross (Daniels) and Harlo (Olson) for coming to get inspired. Your coaches see the potential in you to get there and are excited to see you throw in 2018.

ROBYN FORMANEK

Webster’s 4x800 relay team, consisting of Joey Formanek, Andrew Ruiz, Mason Schaaf and Hunter Erickson, finished in fifth place and claimed a spot on the podium.

“Dustin (Kern) qualified for the 300 meter hurdles. He is so much fun to watch. It wasn’t his perfect race, but he made it to finals.

“Saturday’s competition started out for us with pole vault. Jeni (Petersen) and Sadie (Koelz) are like two peas in a pod. It is hard to get stressed

out and nervous when you are around them. They always lighten the mood and have a good time together. Jeni was one of two freshman who qualified for State. She was a little frazzled, but I reminded her how awesome it was for her to have the State experience as a SEE TRACK PAGE 17

Pirates’ season ends in a heartbreaker

BY GOOB COY SENTINEL SPORTS

PHILLIPS—The Grantsburg Pirates softball team made the long trek to Phillips to face the No. 1 seeded Loggers in the Sectional semi-finals on Tuesday, May 30. After leading the entire game, things fell apart for the Pirates in the bottom of the seventh as the Loggers rallied to tie the game, and eventually sealed the win 8-7 in the bottom of the eighth to end the Pirates’ season.

The Pirates took command early and jumped out to a 4-0 start in the first inning. Britta Roufs reached on a walk. Mckenna Johnson and Emma Quimby each singled, and Maddie

Duncan pounded out a triple to score them all.

The Loggers put up two runs in the second inning and one in the third to make it a 4-3 contest, and then a home run in the fifth knotted it up at 4-4.

The Pirates regained the lead in the sixth, when Quimby scored off of a Rachel Glover hit.

They kept the scoring going in their half of the seventh, scoring two more runs to take a three-run lead, 7-4, heading into the final at bat for the Loggers.

An error, a couple of hits, a couple of wild pitches and the game was turned upside down for the Pirates as they watched their three-run lead slip away.

Grantsburg was not able to get anything going in the top of the eighth and were shut down in order.

With two outs, the Loggers scored the winning run off a single to take the 8-7 win and advance to the Sectional final game. They would go on to defeat Marathon 6-5 to advance to the State tournament for the first time.

The Pirates end their season with a 12-1 conference record and 20-7 overall. They are West Lakeland Conference champs for the 17th time, and Regional champs for the 15th time. They will say good-bye to five seniors, Maddie Duncan, Jordyn McKenzie, Britta Roufs, Cassidy Lee and Claire Palmquist.

Dragons’ season ends with loss to Webster

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

WEBSTER—The Webster Tigers scored six runs in the first and eight in the second en route to a 14-2 win over the Siren Dragons on Tuesday.

The loss ends Siren’s 2017 baseball season with a 1-13 conference record and an overall report of 3-14.

“We were excited for tonight,” said Siren Coach Jon Ruud. “We didn’t play very well. We ran into trouble throwing the ball around.

It was just one of those nights.”

Jordan Webster and Brady Mangen reached base in the top of the first via walks, but two strike outs after their plate appearances negated any further advancement.

Webster, in turn, got their first man on base in Trevor Gustafson via a walk. With one out, Jack Washburn singled and Hunter Gustafson was issued a base on balls.

Brad Sigfrids was hit by a pitch to force in one run. Jordy Larson singled two runs in. Austin Spafford

singled a run across. Caleb Pardun was hit by a pitch and Matt Buffington was walked, garnering him an RBI. Trevor Gustafson followed with another single and run scored.

Siren went 1-2-3 in the second.

Webster added eight in the bottom of the second. Three walks and two errors, a fielders choice, three more singles and a double by Washburn accounted for the runs.

Siren was quiet until the fifth inning. Tanner Buck walked as did Max Lindquist. With one out, Breck Mangen walked. With two out, Jordan Webster singled home a run, followed by a hit batsman in Brady Mangen which put in the second run. A strike out ended the inning, the threat and the season for the Dragons.

Webster pitcher Jordy Larson held the Dragons to one hit, walked six and struck out seven.

Jack Washburn had two hits for Webster with two RBIs. Matt Buffington was one for two, scored once and had three RBIs. Austin Spafford, Jordy Larson, Brad Sigfrids

and Trenton Wols also had two RBIs for the Tigers, with Trevor Gustafson adding one RBI. From Coach Jarrod Washburn of Webster, “The kids came out with a lot of passion today. They played a great game. They batted well, ran the bases well and played good defense.”

Coach Ruud reflected, “We had a pretty good year with a lot of good things, but it was tough for us tonight. Webster played very well.

“I really love this team,” said Coach Ruud. “I especially love these seniors. They have done an outstanding job in making everyone feel that they are a part of this team. They are the reason we are Siren baseball.

“We have 20-some middle school kids who want to play baseball.

Last year, we didn’t know if we were going to have baseball. The kids got us to this point and I’m really proud of them. I can’t say enough about this team and how much fun it’s been.”

Unity ends Gbrg’s season

BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

BALSAM LAKE—The Unity Eagles concluded the Grantsburg Pirate’s baseball season last Tuesday with a 9-3 win by the Eagles.

“Good game for the first few innings,” said Pirate Coach Pete Johnson and that it was through four and one-half innings.

Grantsburg scored in the first inning on walks to Austin Wedin and Luke Anderson. Bryce Roufs sacrificed them ahead, as did Austin Casey, scoring one run. A passed ball scored the second run for the Pirates.

Unity knotted the game at two in the bottom of the first.

Grantsburg went up 3-2 with one in the second.

The Eagles went up 4-3 when they got two across in the bottom of the third.

The Pirates got one man on in the fourth, but left him stranded.

Unity added five in their half of the fourth.

That ended the scoring for both teams for the remainder of the game.

“Unity earned the win by dropping in some hits.

I think we played clean defense,” concluded the coach.

Grantsburg finishes its season with a 7-7 conference record and a 12-12 overall record.

TRACK: Area athletes have good weekend in LaCrosse CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16

see freshman. She came on strong at the end of the season to earn a spot at State. She didn’t vault her personal best vault of 9-6 at State, but she made me proud anyway! At the regional meet, we tried three attempts on a longer pole and she wasn’t able to get deep enough into the pit.

She improved enough and used it a few times at State.

For Jeni, it was good vaulting and great experience. Sadie is the best female pole vaulter I have had the pleasure of coaching. She has all the elements of a great vaulter. I won’t be surprised when she continues to improve at college. She vaulted great at State. She cleared 10-6 on her third attempt. That was clutch. (It is) something that reinforced her State experience which builds confidence. She set

the school record at 10-6 and will encourage Jeni and other vaulters to higher heights. I will miss Sadie. Sadie is my Champion.

“Andrew was next in the mile.

It was around 12:30 p.m. and really hot and humid. I knew it was going to be tough running conditions due to the heat. I witnessed the greatest mile race.

What made it great was watching your very own athlete go out and give it everything he had.

It was a race I will never forget and one that will be hard for someone to repeat. Andrew ran the fourth fastest mile time in Division 3 history! Andrew ran the mile in 4:18.81 placing second. In doing so, Andrew broke a 25-year-old school record held

by Lance Schaaf (4:21.8). I would bet that Schiek (the winner) would not have turned in that time if Andrew hadn’t made him. Andrew ran a smart race

and had nothing left to fight off Schiek in the final 10 meters. It was the perfect race at the perfect time. If Schiek had the heart and guts that Andrew does, he would have set a State record.

Andrew made him better. Finally, his teammates will know what I mean when I ask them to do what Andrew did. Well done, Andrew. You left your mark!

“The 300 meter hurdle finals was our next event. Dustin had another chance at them. The gun went off and I remember thinking, he is in first place.

Dustin shot out of the blocks and it appeared like he was the first one to the hurdle. Hurdles two and three were flawless.

The fourth one got him. He had to switch his feet and landed funny. The next hurdle he landed almost on two feet. His speed and rhythm was messed up … not to mention his leg was hurt-

ing. He finished the race in 10th and didn’t run his best time. It was really special to bring a hurdler down to State and see Dustin make finals. I like that he in not a complainer or a poor sport. He quietly goes about his business and does the best he can. I always say that is all a coach can ask for. Hopefully, the story ends differently next year.

“Andrew (Ruiz) and Mason (Schaaf) finished our State meet in the open 800. We did our best to get Andrew rested and fueled up for the 800. It was obvious early in the race that racing a hard mile two hours earlier took its toll. Andrew managed to earn his third medal with a sixthplace finishing time of 1:59.54.

He beat Schiek who won the mile. Mason didn’t have his best race. He ran exactly the first lap as I asked him to. His split was around a minute. I was hoping

he could run a 58 for his second lap. Not happening that day. His peak race was at Sectionals and earned him bragging rights to say he made it to State. I predict Mason will be one tough 800-meter runner next year. He really came on strong this year and I think he has a shot at Bryan Kause’s school record of 1:57.46.

Mason has the fourth fastest time in school history of 2:01.86.

That is one of the neat things about honor rolls and school records. They are made to inspire and motivate the next group to be better.

“Overall, it was a great meet.

We had a lot of fun and performed well. As a coaching staff, we are very proud of all the track and field athletes. We are excited about where we have been and where we are headed.”

Donald Daniels

W. Dennis Rodacker

Beatrice Talmadge

Donald Bernard Daniels, 88, of Winter Haven, Fla., formerly of Siren, passed away Monday, May 29, 2017 at the Spring Lake Rehabilitation and Nursing Home.

The celebration of Don’s life was held Saturday, June 3 at Siren Covenant Church with Pastor Brian Pardun o officiating. Don was laid to rrest at Northern Wisconsin V Veterans Memorial Cemettery in Spooner.

Don was born August 9, 11928 to Bernard and Alma ((Johnson) Daniels in Siren, tthe fourth of four children.

A After graduating from Siren H High in 1947, Don worked iin construction until he w was drafted into the Army iin 1950. He served for two years before receiving an honorable discharge. Most of his military time was spent in Germany where he served with the Fifth Army. It was fitting for Don to be called home on Memorial Day, as he was a true patriot who was always proud to march with the Lund/Brown Post American Legion for services in Siren.

On September 19, 1953, Don married his sweetheart, Joan Elizabeth Anderson. They were blessed with four sons.

Don worked in construction in Minneapolis until 1956. His family then moved back to Siren where Don pursued his dream of having his own business, first by driving a milk truck and eventually purchasing a backhoe to do excavating in the area.

This grew into Daniels Plumbing and Heating, Inc., the business his son, Dayton, continues to own in Siren. Don was in business more than 50 years, and the last 30 years he and Joan worked side by side.

Providing indoor plumbing to many homes was quite innovative, since neither Don nor Joan grew up with such modern conveniences. Don also installed sewer systems and a great share of the water and sewer lines in the Siren community. His ability to remember depths of pipes proved to be valuable information if ever there was a frozen line or blockage. He valued his employees, considered them friends and sought to help them in any way possible to make the job run smoothly.

When not working, Don and Joan took the boys on memorable camping trips to California, the Black Hills and family Bible camp. After retirement, they escaped the winter months by traveling to Arizona and Gulf Shores, Ala., before finally settling in Winter Haven. Siren was always home, but Winter Haven provided a wonderful community of friends. For their 50th Anniversary, Don and Joan took an unforgettable trip to Sweden where they visited Don’s relatives from both sides of his family.

As an adult, Don followed his father in his devotion to his Lord and Savior. He had a deep appreciation for Gospel music and loved listening to his wife, his children and his grandchildren sing.

Don was an active member of Siren Covenant Church and served as chairman for a number of years. He also served on the Siren School Board, was a member of Lund/Brown Post 132 American Legion and served as President of the WI Association of Plumbing and Heating/Cooling Contractors in 1993. After moving to Florida, both Don and Joan enjoyed working at Disney World during the winter months.

Watching the Green Bay Packers and any sport his sons or grandchildren played brought him great joy, and a personal athletic feat was riding his bicycle across Minnesota in the MS 150 and the MS TRAM. Don is preceded in death by his brother, Burdette and sisters, Alice and Harriet.

He is survived by his wife and best friend, Joan; sons, Douglas (Sandra) of St. Paul, David (Pam) of Siren, Dayton (Nancy) of Siren, and Dean (Michelle) of Birmingham Ala.; grandchildren, Stephanie (Spencer) Heidish, Sarah (Jeremy) Salo, Katie Daniels, Jim (Katie) Taylor, Nick (Katie) Taylor, Troy Daniels (Kelly Brown), Adam Daniels (Stephanie Mohrmann), Dayna (Cole) Meyers, Courtney (Collin) Tewalt, and Harper Daniels; and great-grandchildren, Spencer, Trevor and Emma Heidish, Cadence and Owen Salo, Jacob and Ava Taylor, Abby and Max Taylor, Holden Daniels, Emmitt Daniels and Westin and Ezri Meyers.

WHEREAS, state grants for County Land Conservation staff have decreased since the program began; and WHEREAS, the Governor’s budget has not requested maintenance of the annual average staff funding of $9.3 million that were included in the pre-recession budgets from 2001 to 2011, thus reducing the funding to $8 million annually in the 2017-19 budget; and WHEREAS, the Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA) 2017 statewide policy recognizes the value of the work County Land Conservation Departments provide to farmers and Wisconsin citizens by supporting adequate resources to implement maintaining this base level of funding; and WHEREAS, the inability to adequately fund local, voluntarily accepted farm conservation practices has led to environmental problems and increasing citizen suits and court decisions against farmers.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the Burnett County Board of Supervisors duly assembled this 18th day of April, 2017, does hereby urge the Governor of the State of Wisconsin and all elected representatives in the Wisconsin State Legislature to return to the $9.3 million appropriation for state aid to counties, recognizing the invaluable service county conservation employees provide in helping Wisconsin farmers grow our state’s agriculture while preserving the state’s land and water resources for future generations.

The Highway/Forestry facility open house is being targeted for the end of July. Bremer Bank and Market & Johnson are working with the county to help sponsor the community event.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In the blink of an eyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Pastor Bill Schroeder Lakeside Community Lutheran Church

One year ago there was a rush of activity taking place at our home as my newlywed, Rhonda, and I prepared to celebrate our joy of marriage with family, church congregation and community.

Fortunately, my siblings and their spouses arrived early to help with the preparation.

My two brothers-in-law, Bob and Dan, spent hours standing over the grills cooking burgers and brats for the party. As long as they received a cold refreshment from time to time, they kept grilling with smiles upon their faces.

Sadly, one of those faces is no longer with us on this earth. Brother-in-law Bob became ill last winter with an aggressive form of ALS and died the Monday before Easter.

Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral was a true celebration of a life well lived, and it was an honor to give the message at his funeral. However, it remains surreal that Bob is gone and to be quite honest, I really miss him. I cannot imagine how my sister Lois is dealing with the loss as in February they had celebrated 50 years of marriage.

CALVARY COVENANT

barbequing a couple of burgers, my thoughts went back to Bob standing over this same grill only a year back. It reminded me that life is so very fragile and there is no guarantee that tomorrow will come.

I have a good Irish friend who always reminds me to enjoy every good day. He never finishes our conversation with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a good day,â&#x20AC;? but rather he tells me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make it a great day!â&#x20AC;?

Each and every day of life is a gift from God. Never miss a chance to tell those important people in your life that you love them.

28 BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

JUNE 7, 2017 www.burnettcountysentinel.com

My name is Sarah, and I want to help you SEAN DEVLIN EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

BURNETT COUNTY— In most situations, the best support is experienced support. Sarah Bach of Grantsburg is building a career around this idea. She is a birth doula.

By definition a doula is “a woman who is trained to assist another woman during childbirth and who may provide support to the family after the baby is born.”

Bach’s idea to offer herself as a doula was far from a spur of the moment decision. Becoming a doula was on her mind for many years, but she only recently took the leap.

Bach’s own birthing experience was a monumental factor in her decision. In one way, it is a sad experience, but being the positive person she is, Bach used it for personal growth.

“I didn’t have a supportive partner, but I had a supportive best friend. It in-

trigued me to see the impact she had on me,” she said.

One of the most impactful memories of her friend was her knowledge of the birthing process. “She told me how to push. I didn’t know how. It’s these types of things I want to share with people before they go through it,” she said.

Now, in her own practice, rather than focusing on the prewritten definition of doula, Bach has created her own mission statement.

“My goal, as your birth doula, is to support you and your family through your most imperfectly perfect birth journey. I will educate, support, encourage and empower you so when you wake up that one peaceful morning, you will look out at the sunrise and be able to say, ‘I did it.’”

Bach’s enthusiasm for helping others partially stems from a time in her life where she felt alone as a wife and mother.

After high school, Bach joined the
