Village Players cancel 2020 play, seek online talent WEBSTER—The Village Players Community Theater (VPCT) has announced they will be canceling this summer’s presentations of The Odd Couple. Originally scheduled for late July/early August of 2020, performances of The Odd Couple will be featured in the summer of 2021. After weighing the options, the VPCT Board agreed that none of them were willing to risk the health and peace of mind of our actors, volunteers, and patrons. Alternatively, the group is working on alternative methods of remotely keeping theater goers entertained. “Our area has a treasure trove of talented individuals, Olivia Wells and we would Village Players Board love to share them with you,” said Olivia Wells of the VPCT Board. “If you have acted in our shows, volunteered, or been a patron, we invite you to submit short videos showcasing your talent!” The board is inviting individuals or groups to submit performance

Fishing still an escape JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

Residential fishing licenses across Wisconsin are at a five-year high but non-residential license are at a fiveyear low, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. These trends are similar to those at the national level. With the COVID-19 pandemic having an effect on almost all aspects of life

right now, we are socially distanced and incredibly isolated, but more people are out fishing than in previous years. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) has sold more fishing licenses so far in 2020 than they did in 2018 and 2019. In fact, this is a five-year high in Wisconsin with 734,514 licenses being sold between just

FISHING: Residential licenses reach 5-year high CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

March, April and May - thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over 100,000 more licenses than 2019 in the same three months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is definitely a pleasant surprise to see the early season results. I was not expecting to see an increase in sales (and especially the size of the increase â&#x20AC;&#x201C; interestingly, first-time buyers are a major component of the increase in sales),â&#x20AC;? Karl Scheidegger told the Sentinel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought most people would be staying at home and hesitant to go outside with so much uncertainty. Outdoor participation is booming (and fishing license sales), whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a welcome distraction from the current situation, a function of stir craziness or just because of less competition for our precious time.â&#x20AC;? Scheidegger works out of Madison as part of WDNRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division of Fish, Wildlife & Parks. He said Wisconsin is one of 34 states seeing an increase in residential fishing license sales this year. Minnesota reported a growth of 57% of increase in resident sales. According to the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation, they reported that fishing licenses have gone up 2% across the country in January through April from 2019 to 2020. Resident license purchases have gone up 6.7% while non-resident licenses have gone down 20% during that same time period. According to the WDNR, over 920,000 fishing licenses have been sold for 2020 as of mid-June. In 2019 they reported selling 782,128 and in 2018 the WDNR sold 815,673. Meaning so far this year the WDNR has sold more than 140,000 more licenses than in all of 2019. There are a number of different types of fishing licenses. This data is all fishing licenses. It does not include Sturgeon spearing or hook and line, great lake and inland waters salmon trout and armed forces license. The WNDR also broke down the data for resident and non-resident licenses.

idents has gone down by about 15,000 from 2019 to 2020. Licenses of residents went down about 4,000 less licenses. However, there are two new licenses for juniors and seniors. There have been around 14,000 of these licenses. Junior licenses are for 16 & 17-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and senior licenses are for those anyone over the age of 65. So actually, Wisconsin residents have bought more annual fishing licenses this year than the past two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These trends appear to be occurring without much promotion. In fact, from what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told, most states seem to be struggling with the promotion question (to promote or not to promote),â&#x20AC;? Scheidegger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe fishing can be promoted as a great activity that allows friends and family to get outside, while still being able to practice self-distancing. I think as long as the message stays focused on responsible actions, self-distancing and the diversion fishing provides from the craziness we are all going through, we should be okay. I would suggest using the hashtags #RecreateResponsibly #ResponsibleRecreation.â&#x20AC;?

2020 Gandy Dancer Airshow cancelled

SUBMITTED

Along with the many other cancellations and changes this year, we are sorry to advise you that it was necessary to cancel all planning and preparation for the Gandy Dancer Drive-In/FlyIn Airshow. As you may know, planning begins early each year, sometimes as early as February. So, when the State made the call in March, Burnett County administration decided to cancel for 2020. This was not only due to Guidelines given by Wisconsin DHS, but because of the community support structure impacted by the Coronavirus. The Airshow at Burnett County

Airport, a free-admission community sponsored event, is only made possible through the generosity of our local businesses. Also, because of the restrictions placed on many of these sponsors due to Covid-19 causing financial hardships and limiting their ability to support our event and others,

we feel it would be in everyone’s best interest to cancel this year’s airshow that was scheduled for July 18. Thank you again for past support. We hope to be back on tract and see everyone in 2021. Save the date: July 17, 2021.

The kayak that did not tip over

ell this was certainly one of those weekends we need to take full advantage of and it’s the reason we put up with those harsh winter months. It certainly was gorgeous this weekend and I was able to take full advantage of it. Saturday was full of outdoor pleasures like finally getting around to reading “Bobby Braddock: A Life on Nashville’s Music Row” and heading to Crooked Lake Park a few times for Siren’s unconventional graduation ceremony. Then on Sunday I did something I wish I set aside more time for during the summer – kayaking and fishing. But first let me go back to Bobby Braddock. You may not know his name but if you like country music you know his songs. Braddock has been called the ‘King of Tears’ in country music. Sentinel His first hit was “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” recorded by Tammy Wynette in Editor 1968. Braddock went on to write Jonathan Richie songs for country legend George Jones including his most famous tune, “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” However, it’s not all about tears for Braddock. In his more recent catalog Braddock wrote “People are Crazy” for Billy Currington in 2009. It’s a song about an old man and a younger guy meeting in a bar and the old man ends the meeting by saying “God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.” The song ends with the old man dying and giving his inheritance of millions of dollars to this younger guy and not to his family. So, Braddock is able to have a good time but can still end with a few happy tears. Some of the best stuff in the book is Braddock’s battle with losing his hair. He wore a toupee that he and his 4-year old daughter both called “a rug.” That is something I SHOULD never have to worry about. My maternal grandfather had a full head of hair until the day he died so genetics are on my side with this one. Sunday I went out on Big Doctor Lake in Siren. I caught one Northern Pike and got a few other bites sparingly throughout the morning and into the afternoon. That morning, I bought a frog lure that just skips on top of the water. On my second cast with the frog lure I got what looked like a Largemouth Bass, but we’ll never know. My theory is the fish saw the frog was plastic and not the frog legs the fish was accustomed to, realized it was a scam and quickly fled the area to avoid the ridicule of being duped by a thermoplastic or thermosoftening plastic. It didn’t matter, I don’t go on the lake for dinner. I go out there for the peace and silence that encompasses the lake. You will also be glad to know that I did not tip over in the kayak. It was a pleasant surprise because last time I flipped the kayak over trying to get out of the water. As much as I love being on the lake, I hate being in the lake, unless I am swimming. I hope you are able to enjoy lake time this holiday weekend.

Celebrations are needed

e are nearing Independence Day, the traditional midpoint of summer. Saturday marks the 244th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a day traditionally filled with families, food, fun and fireworks. I say “traditionally” because, like everything else in 2020, July 4 celebrations will be different this year. Social distancing continues to be observed by many and health experts tell us that doing things outdoors can minimize the risks associated with coronavirus. That’s good news, because I believe we need to gather as much and as responsibly as possible From the Publisher’s now for several reasons. We need to see our friends and famDesk ily. It’s been nearly four months since the news of the virus spreading to our Tom Stangl nation became the leading story for l many news outlets. With over two million confirmed cases, over 120,000 deaths and over 736,000 people recovered, the virus has tested every aspect of our way of life. Now that stay at home orders are being relaxed or struck down by the courts, we can move around with fewer restrictions. It’s important to exercise some common sense and strong sanitary hygiene, but we can and should see one another, as long as everyone involved is willing and able. It’s been a long spring and early summer and we have up to a year more ahead of us before a vaccine is developed to protect us all, especially the most vulnerable in our society. The ties of family and friends sustain us through many trials and travails of daily life. When we have the chance to gather, we should do so while it is reasonbly comfortable outside.

to slip away before we realize it was here. I believe this will happen more than normal this year because many community celebrations and “normal” summer activities are not being held, in the interest of public safety. I’m not going to debate the merits of herd immunity or the liability of having a community celebration where adequate social distancing can’t be achieved because the point in the minds of many on each sides of these issues is made up. I only hope we can agree to disagree on these things and remain civil to one another. I know this may seem difficult to some, but we must try. Which brings me back to the Fourth of July. Families can and should, in my opinion, get together for a gathering that keeps everyone safe but also nourishes the need we all have to be part of something larger than ourselves. This will look different for every family and that’s OK. We shoot off some fireworks (or watch some being set off) during the Independence Day holiday, reminding us of the fight for our nation’s freedom so long ago. I believe it is all together fitting and proper we gather this year to celebrate our interdependence with each other. It’s a healthy thing to admit and acknowledge our need to be loved and to be near those we love. Technology helped us through the first part of the pandemic and will be needed in the fall and winter, but while we can, let’s go outside and be with each other. Thanks to the communities who are proceeding with fireworks this weekend. We will set more off when a vaccine is in circulation. 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. Thanks for reading I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

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.

CAPITOL REPORT

WILD CHOW

Tommy Thompson praised as choice to lead UW System Lawmakers, regents, chancellors, staff and faculty largely praised the appointment of former Gov. Tommy Thompson to serve as interim UW System President. University insiders say the unanimous Board of Regents pick of June 19 means there will be a passionate advocate for the system through tumultuous budget constraints brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s a pretty bold move,” said Jon Shelton, UW-Green Bay faculty representative and American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin vice president. “The system could’ve tried to go with somebody internal, but I think this indicates they’re looking to bring in some firepower to advocate for the system right now.” The system estimates a more than $100 million budget shortfall through the summer, even after accounting for cost-savings measures and federal aid. Thompson, a Republican, is the only governor elected to four terms in Wisconsin history, serving from 1987 to 2001, when he was tapped to lead the Department of Health and Human Services under the Bush administration. He was a champion of the UW System during his time in the East Wing. And since leaving public life, he from time to time had been raised as a possible candidate to lead the UW System. Thompson requested the minimum salary for a president of $489,334, according to the university. The former governor in a tweet called the system “the state’s most valuable asset,” and promised to be its biggest

advocate and evaluator through his tenure. Assembly Colleges and Universities Committee Chair Dave Murphy, R-Greenville, told WisPolitics.com he had heard rumors Thompson was being considered for the position. He added he felt the pick could bring about some bipartisan unity. “He’s coming in to serve the people of Wisconsin at a time when he’s needed,” Murphy said. “And that’s always been Tommy Thompson. He stepped up when the state needed him.” U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Town of Vermont, in a tweet said he looks forward to working with Thompson on university issues, adding over 80 percent of its federal funding goes through House Appropriations subcommittees that he sits on. Evers’ regent appointees take control of the board next May. Some system followers pointed out that could mean any full president hired in the meantime by a board still led by Walker appointees might not have had a job in the near future anyway. A new search won’t start for at least a year, and Thompson will serve until a permanent appointment is named.

Star Spangled Cheese Curd Cheeseburgers The best season of the year is back--backyard BBQ season. Who doesn’t love cooking in flip-flops with an ice-cold drink in your hand? Outdoor cooking on the grill is easy and the unique flavors created by grilling are hard to beat. Father’s Day marked the start of BBQ season for us. My husband was surprised by a new grill from the kids. We Wild Chow promptly made burgers and have been cooking on it since. Lisa Erickson Our last grill was literally falling apart.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Importance of seat belts Dear Editor, The Burnett Co. Sheriff’s Department Deputies, along with the Grantsburg, Siren and Webster Police Departments will be working with other Law Enforcement Agencies thru out Wisconsin June 22 – July 5th in the “Click It or Ticket” Campaign in efforts to promote seat belt use. SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES AND PREVENT SERIOUS INJURIES Consistent seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect motor vehicle occupants from being injured or killed in a crash. Air bags are an important safety enhancement, but only seat belts can prevent motorists from being ejected or thrown around violently inside a vehicle during a crash.

MORE PEOPLE ARE BUCKLING UP BUT THERE’S ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT The good news is Wisconsin’s seat belt use rate is at its highest ever: 90.2 percent. Still, too many motorists fail to buckle up and are needlessly injured and killed in crashes. In 2019, 44 percent of car and light truck occupants

killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes were unbuckled. When looking at this way, currently in Wisconsin, about 10 percent of motorists fail to buckle up. Yet, this relatively small group accounts for nearly half of the drivers and passengers killed in car/ truck crashes in Wisconsin every year. TEENS, TRUCK DRIVERS AMONG THOSE LEAST LIKELY TO BUCKLE UP Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teens and young adults nationwide. Teen-related crashes, injuries and deaths can be attributed in part to dangerous driving behaviors such as failure to buckle up and driving while distracted. Observational surveys indicate the people least likely to wear a seat belt in Wisconsin are male drivers of commercial motor vehicles and pick-up trucks.

be cited for every unbuckled passenger in their vehicle. Since the primary enforcement law took effect on June 30, 2009, Wisconsin’s seat belt use rate has increased from 74 percent (in 2009) to over 90 percent (today). Last year (2019) in Wisconsin, there were 41,654 traffic convictions for failure to wear a seat belt. Let’s all work together to make our roads safer, Burnett Co. Sheriff - Tracy Finch Grantsburg Chief of Police – Dan Wald Siren Chief of Police – Chris Sybers Webster Chief of Police – Steph Wedin

What matters Dear Editor, Does it matter that so many store owners watch their dreams go up in flames as the rioters burn and loot? What about the thousands of police officers that have been injured, killed, or paralyzed,

WISCONSIN SEAT BELT LAWS Last year (2019) marked the 10-year anniversary of Wisconsin’s “primary enforcement” seat belt law (allows law enforcement to stop/cite a motorist solely for not buckling up). Drivers can also

does that matter? A large percent of our country’s citizens appear to be in agreement with tearing apart the history and culture of our great nation instead of studying and learning from it. George Orwell said it best, “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” So what does all the rioting, burning and destruction accomplish? It doesn’t create jobs or put food on the table. Taking Cops off TV or the shotgun away from Elmer Fudd doesn’t improve our schools or build affordable housing. Destroying statues, burning buildings, and renaming military bases doesn’t remove discrimination nor does it stop wars. What it does do, however, is turn our weak, frightened politicians into faithful accessories to the terrorist as we watch them destroy our cities and attempt to rewrite our history. This matters!

Home for a weekend AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, My 19-year-old daughter Selina Walters just finished her freshmen year at UW Stevens Point where she is majoring in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. I am proud of this young lady who made the Dean’s List and a part of me is kind of sad. Three years ago, Selina and I were fishing in Canada and she told me that she would not be spending many summers at home once she was in college. Selina told me that each summer she was going take a job that would further her knowledge in her career field

and that is exactly what she is doing this summer. Selina is living in Stevens Point and doing research out of a kayak in Portage, Taylor, Marathon, Lincoln and Wood Counties. Selina is working for Golden Sands Resource Conservation and Development Council and working with aquatic invasive species. This past weekend was Father’s Day and I had planned on going on a canoe expedition for salmon on Lake Michigan. When Selina called and told me she was going to come home I delayed that trip to hang out with her in an outdoor type of setting. Saturday, June 20

ALL PHOTOS SUBMITTED

High 74, low 53 Early this morning a good two inches of rain fell in northern Juneau County and that has created good growth for vegetation and lots of water in our forests and marshes. Today Selina and I spent some time working in our food plot and later we ran bear baits which would be the first time that they were checked this year. I have created a food plot about a half mile behind my house in a dense forest that is more like a jungle and though it is work, I love it and so do the local deer and turkey. I am currently doubling its size by using a chainsaw, axe, and rototiller and let me tell you I have a ton of respect for all the settlers that created fields out of forests with an axe, oxen and a backbone. This afternoon we checked our bear baits and the entire outing was a trip down memory lane as I kept thinking of the hundreds of hours Selina and I spent running baits and hunting black bear. I honestly believe running bear baits is one of the reasons that she is so physically and mentally tough. We had clear, daylight pictures of a true 500-pound animal and that put a big smile on my face. Sunday, June 21 High 76, low 55 I live in a field across from the Petenwell Flowage which is Wisconsin’s second largest inland body of water. I am somewhat embarrassed to say that I rarely fish it. I generally travel in the outdoor world three days a week and when I come home, I am only a few days away from my next trip. Today, Selina, Fire, Ruby, and I fished the

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

Petenwell, or you could say we went for a 16-mile boat ride with lines in the water. The weather was perfect, the attitude was casual, and the fish were hungry. Every year I am in Canada for Father’s Day, and in many cases so was Selina. The border closing has really bothered me as I made that trip since 1982 and when Selina asked me to take her fishing on Father’s Day that softened the blow. We trolled using Salmo’s, Flicker Shad, HotnTots and crawler harnesses and we did well on walleye and striped bass. That night Selina had to head back to Point and as I always do, I sent her home with plenty of food and in this case all the fillets as she was going to have a fish fry for all of her roommates. The reality of the last kid flying out of the nest is a tough one but as natural as the sun coming up in the morning. If Selina’s career choice stays on track, she will be a biologist with The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service someday. She came up with this goal as a freshman in high school when she began volunteering at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge and has never budged on that decision. I am glad she came home for Father’s Day! Sunset.

WILD CHOW: Grilled and juicy cheese curd burgers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

—the ones with the cheese in the middle. I’ve made them before but have been disappointed when the cheese oozed out of most of them and started the grill on fire. Maybe it was the grill? I don’t have time for kitchen (or grilling) failures when I have a crowd of people. I’m not going to let that happen again. Adding the cheese as part of the burger mix is an interesting way to get a cheesier flavor. I’ve tried adding cheddar to the ground beef, but it melts away when the burgers hit the grill. Cheese curds, on the other hand, are a little firmer and do not melt as much because the cheese is not aged. If you want to make your burgers extra special, try adding a flavored cheese curd like ranch. Top each burger with an additional slice of smoked cheddar and you have a winning combination. Add a little bacon and you’ve got the perfect burger for the Fourth of July celebration with family and friends. Bang! Yum. These burgers are loaded with flavor and will have you singing. Happy 4th of July! Cheese Curd Burgers 4 onion buns, lightly buttered and grilled 1 lb. ground premium beef 4 slices smoked cheddar cheese 8 oz cheese curds any flavor or plain, chopped into ¼ inch pieces 8 strips cooked bacon ½ tsp seasoned salt 1 small red onion, sliced ½ cup honey BBQ sauce Preheat grill to 500° or above. In a small bowl, mix the ground beef, chopped curds, and seasoned salt. Form into 4 patties and create a small indentation the size of a tablespoon in the middle of each patty. When the burgers cook, they will not puff up in the middle. Place patties on the hot grill. Reduce temperature to medium and cook 3-4 minutes. Flip and place the smoked cheese on each slice. Continue until cooked throughout or to your liking. Place each burger on grilled bun. Top with bacon, onion slice, and honey BBQ sauce. Serve immediately.

Burnett Co. participating in click it or ticket Burnett Co. Sheriff’s Department Deputies, along with Grantsburg, Siren and Webster Police Departments will be participating in the “Click It or Ticket Seat Belt Enforcement” June 22 thru July 5 Now through the July 4th holiday weekend, police officers across Wisconsin are stepping up seat belt enforcement. If you’re among the more than 90 percent of Wisconsin motorists, who regularly buckle up – keep up the great work! If you don’t buckle up – what’s holding you back? Consider this: the 10 percent of motorists who fail to buckle up account for nearly half the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes each year. During Click It or Ticket June 22 – July 5, law

enforcement officers will keep a sharp eye out for unbuckled motorists – not to simply write tickets, but to emphasize voluntary compliance with traffic laws that save lives and prevent needless tragedies. In Wisconsin, motorists can be stopped and cited for failure to wear a seat belt. Drivers can also be cited for every unbuckled passenger in their vehicle. Be safe and be smart. Buckle up. Every seat, Every trip. Public safety is a group effort. Show your support for health care professionals and emergency responders by ensuring everyone in your vehicle is buckled up.

Plan advances to allow dismantling Minneapolis Police Dept. STEVE KARNOWSKI AND AMY FORLITI ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS—The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously advanced a proposal to change the city charter to allow the police department to be dismantled, following widespread criticism of law enforcement over the killing of George Floyd. The 12-0 vote is just the first step in a process that faces significant bureaucratic obstacles to make the November ballot, where the city’s voters would have the final say. It also comes amid a spate of recent shootings in Minnesota’s largest city that have heightened many citizens’ concerns about talk of dismantling the department. The proposed amendment, which would replace the police department with a new “Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention” that has yet to be fully defined, next goes to a policy committee and to the city’s Charter Commission for a formal review, at which point citizens and city officials can weigh in. “I hope that the Charter Commission will recognize the moment that we are in and take our offer of support, however we can provide it, to expedite this process so that voters have a chance to have their voices heard on this important question and this important moment in our city’s history,” Council President Lisa Bender said before the vote. The Minneapolis force has come under heavy pressure since Floyd, a Black man in handcuffs, died May 25 after a police officer pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly eight minutes. Activists have long accused the department of being unable to change a racist and brutal culture, and earlier this month, a majority of the council proclaimed support for dismantling the department. Jeremiah Ellison, a member of the council, said after the vote that the charter is one of three major barriers to “transformative public safety,” along with the city’s police union and the Minnesota Legislature. The charter — which requires the city to have a police department of a certain size — is the one thing the city council has a say over, he said. According to draft language posted

online, the new department “will have responsibility for public safety services prioritizing a holistic, public health-oriented approach.” The amendment goes on to say the director of the new agency would have “non-law-enforcement experience in community safety services, including but not limited to public health and/or restorative justice approaches.” It also provides for a division of licensed peace officers who would answer to the department’s director. Council member Phillipe Cunningham said they’re committed to a year-long community process to determine how the new agency would work. “We are not starting from scratch. We are not starting with a completely blank slate,” he said, pointing to changes meant to prevent violence at other law enforcement agencies across the country. Ten years from now, Council member Steve Fletcher predicted, everybody will be looking to emulate the Minneapolis model. “The path that we’re going to chart will steal the best ideas from everywhere and combine them in away that is uniquely appropriate to our city,” he said. The board of the city’s police union called the move “irresponsible” without a clear plan for what comes next. “Politicians are good at making promises, but not at following through on them, and voters should be wary of any promises that delivered by the City Council about how they will figure it out when and if the charter amendment passes,” it said in a statement. Some activists against police brutality were displeased, too. The Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar, named for a black man who died in a 2015 confrontation with police, said the amendment would leave power in the hands of the council and mayor’s office, which it said have already failed. The coalition wants the department under community control via a new elected civilian council with the power to hire, fire and prosecute officers. Civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, a sharp critic of the department, said the move is premature and counterproductive to building trust with the Black commu-

nity amid the current uptick in crime. “There are a lot of people in the African American community who are anxious, who are fearful, who are concerned about the irresponsibility of the Minneapolis City Council and the failure to articulate a clear plan of action on what to expect, and they want an opportunity to weigh in on that,” Armstrong said. Council members who support the change wanted to seize on a groundswell of support for significant policing changes following Floyd’s death. If they don’t get the charter change on the November ballot, their next chance won’t come until November 2021, they say. The measure faces some time pressure to be finalized and clear a potential mayoral veto in time to make this fall’s ballot. Mayor Jacob Frey, who opposes abolishing the department, said he’s concerned by the draft amendment. Frey said when something goes wrong now, the chief and the mayor are accountable. Under the new plan, which would have the council appoint a director of the new agency, accountability would be spread among 14 people. Frey, who has said he supports deep structural changes in the existing department, questioned whether policing practices would vary based on ward or other factors. Suad Mire, 30, a receptionist at a mental health clinic, said she’s “very torn” between supporting dismantling the police and whether reforming the existing department should be the path toward significant change. Mire said she wants to see an end to police brutality but doesn’t know if a society can function without law enforcement. She fears a reduced presence by officers citywide may lead to an increase in violence. “I just feel like they should be better trained, have new officers and their training should be at least a little longer ... and if a police officer that lives deep down in the suburbs, if they’re going to work in the city then they should know the surroundings and the civilians that are from that city and protect them,” she said. “But I’m not sure about dismantling them.” Report for America reporter Mohamed Ibrahim contributed.

Peace in troubling times Pastor Dale Van Deusen Trade River Evangelical Free

Is there stress in your life? Your own life may be challenging. The news is filled with things we can’t do much about. Although the particulars differ, depending on when and where you live, this wonderful world is filled with problems. Troubles like diseases, conflicts, and natural disasters roll through human history like an unstoppable storm. These threaten us with pain, suffering, loss, and death. Jesus Himself was a Man of Sorrows, acquainted with grief. He knew His destiny would include suffering injustice from power-

ful elite, cruel emotional and physical abuse, and a horrendous death. He also knew His followers would go through hard times. On the night He was to be arrested, Jesus offered His followers help and hope. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world,” (John

14:1,27 and 16:33). Jesus offers help and hope. First, by giving us realistic expectations of this world. He doesn’t want us surprised and shocked by suffering. We are to expect difficulties. We live in a fallen world. Second, live by faith in Jesus. He knows what is happening to us, He understands how hard life can be for us. He has been there. And He cares. He has a better future in store for His people. Trust Him. We can give Him our fear and He will give us His peace.

Not how they thought they’d get here SIREN GRADUATION 2020

Siren Superintendent Kevin Shetler gave his yearly speech which was played during the ceremonies and like all years was concluded with playing Van Halen’s “Happy Trails”.

A graduation during a pandemic. Siren Seniors went to Crooked Lake Park on Saturday for a graduation unlike any other. The usual graduation is held a little earlier in the Siren Gymnasium, but instead it was held at the band shell at Crooked Lake Park.

Groups of four or ﬁve students celebrated with their own mini-ceremony on the beautiful day. Nine groups had a 45-minute ceremony with all the speeches, diplomas and pageantry. Each senior had their own yard sign on display at Crooked Lake Park on Saturday.

Photos by Jonathan Richie | Sentinel Below, Associate Principal Darrell Imhoff had some words for the graduates.

Students listened to pre-recorded speeches, while their friends and families watched from a safe distance.
