Helicopter crash kills Siren man A medical helicopter crashed early Friday morning at Brainerd Airport. North Memorial Health reported Saturday that pilot Tim McDonald, of Siren, and flight nurse Deb Schott died at the scene after the AgustaWestland AW109 helicopter crashed about 1 a.m. Friday at the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport. The third person in the helicopter was paramedic Josh Duda, he was taken to a hospital in Brainerd to treat his injuries. An online fundraiser has been started for the McDonald family. Tim leaves behind his wife Crystal and their four kids. Adventure Church in Siren has set up a meal train and financial fund through the church to help the family. North Memorial Health Air Care released a statement Friday afternoon: “To our community and friends, thank you, for your condolences in response to the helicopter accident last night,� the statement said. “We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has sent messages of kindness, shared grief and sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family members, friends and all of our colleagues who lost loved ones.� They announced later their crews would all be grounded until further notice. The FAA reported that the crash had happened on the helicopter's approach to the airport. However, when Minnesota Public Radio asked Brainerd Airport manager Steven Wright said he could not confirm if the helicopter was taking off or landing. He did confirm it crashed on the ground next to the runway.

Burnett County history: The Wild Rivers Boys KAYLA CASEY NEWS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM
Webster’s claim to fame was mostly due to a band of men called the Wild Rivers Boys. In the beginning of 1965, all of the communities in the area were getting ready for the County’s centennial celebration. Most of the towns already had everything together and were rearing to go. The co-founder of Webster, Jack Swedberg, thought that Webster was dragging its feet getting ready and thought something had to
Webster woman arrested for 7th OWI offense
Minnie McPherson helped the men out by letting them use her 1914 Model T touring car. This led to them originally being called ‘Ma and Her Boys’. The men would put on their old clothes, fake beards and wild looking hats before any of the parades and give everyone quite the comedic show. The Wild Rivers Boys first official act was to go and meet a Greyhound bus that was arriving in Webster in order to give the passengers a real
be done. That something that needed to be done ended up being the beginnings of the Wild Rivers Boys, a group of men that dressed in old clothes wearing raggedy fake beards. Fellow co-founders Dennis Christianson and Tony Curto were the forerunners of the group and Swedberg said, “I had always liked the Beverly Hillbillies TV show so that lent to the way we dressed. The name tied in with the Wild Rivers legislature that was making its way through Congress at the time.�
The Wisconsin State Patrol arrested Shana L. Corbine, 39, Webster, for operating a motor vehicle under the influence, seventh offense. According to a statement from the State Patrol, June 30 around 3:36 a.m. Corbine was seen traveling southbound on State Highway 93 at Golf Road with her headlights off during hours of darkness. When the State Patrol Trooper attempted to stop Corbine she continued on STH 93 and turned the wrong way onto the I-94 eastbound off ramp before stopping on the ramp. The trooper observed signs of impairment and asked Corbine to perform field sobriety tests. Corbine fell down during the testing, then an ambulance was called, and she was transported to an area hospital. The State Patrol said she will be charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants/drugs, 7th offense.

giant welcome to the area. When the bus stopped, all of the men jumped onto the bus and began to shoot off black powder blanks from their shotguns. Swedberg stated, “I’m sure passengers were wondering what they had gotten themselves into. We even kidnapped some of the younger women, took them around the block and brought them back to the bus.” He went on to admit, “If we did some of the stuff today that we did back then, we’d be arrested.” In 1965, Ma and Her Boys were a part of the Webster and the Grantsburg Centennial parades. The following year not much happened with the group, but by 1967, they had changed their name to Ma and the Wild Rivers Boys. Audiences doubled at parades as the group attended more than 20 of them that year and the next.

Ma and the Wild Rivers Boys were known everywhere from Duluth to Lake Geneva and everybody was getting a kick out of their performances.
They even received an invite to perform in the St. Paul Winter Carnival. They performed there for two years but were told that they were disqualified
the third year. When asked why, they were told that PETA reported them because PETA thought that they were abusing animals. This accusation came
from a stunt they had pulled in one of their parade performances where a newspaper filled skunk hide was put on a mono filament line which was being dragged by one of the men as he ran, so it had looked like he was being chased by the skunk. In the year 1968, the Wild Rivers Boys upgraded their performance with a new mode of transportation. It was called the slabmobile. The slabmobile was the chassis of a 1956 Chevy with the body having been rebuilt with angle iron and slabwood. This car also used various parts from other older antique cars, so it was quite the sight. The Wild Rivers Boys can still be seen at some of the parades in Webster as new members dress up and take on the roles. Information in this article was obtained from the Webster Centennial Paper.
‘You wanna walk, but you can’t get there’ JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
Multiple sclerosis, or commonly known as MS, is a chronic, unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the central nervous system to the brain and body. “Your brain wants to send a signal to your muscles that it’s OK to walk, but that nerve is damaged and so the communication is disrupted, and it doesn’t work,” Diane Whitcraft said. “You can say walk leg walk as much as you want but nothing will happen.” Northwoods MS Connection Group is headed by Diane Whitcraft. She has been an activist for MS for years and this group has been meeting in Webster for almost two years and their goal is to have people with MS connect with others living with the disease. “It’s like you wanna walk, but you just can’t get there,” Tammy Zelinski said. In June they invited Rep. Nick Milroy to the meeting at the Webster Health Clinic. Milroy recently supported the step therapy bill that passed unanimously in the Wisconsin state senate and assembly and is waiting for Gov. Tony Evers to sign into law. Milroy told the group he is confident Evers will sign the bill. The step therapy bill or Senate Bill 26 is designed to make it easier for patients to have the access to the medication they need. “There is a process insurance company’s use that they call the step process,” Milroy said. “So, a doctor recommends that a patient should be on a certain medication and the insurance companies have a policy that outlines alternative medications that don’t cost as much that they want people to try first. It’s a way insurance companies toe the line on cost while also providing adequate care.” Milroy explained that if someone changes insurance providers they may be asked to try a medication they have already tried in the past that did not yield the results they had hoped for.

Diane Whitcraft heads the group.
“What the bill does is it lets people use five exceptions,” Milroy said. “If a doctor prescribed a drug but the insurance company says this one is similar and cheaper, but the patient has already tried it and it didn’t work. If that’s the case, you can then apply for an exception to get on the medication that will help.”
Tammy added, “So you don’t keep back tracking.” It is estimated that nearly 1 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with MS. It’s a drastic change from 1974 when only about 450 were considered to have the disease. More than 11,000 Wisconsin residents are believed to have MS today and 223 people in Burnett, Polk, Washburn and Douglas counties are registered with the National MS Society. Whitcraft also mentioned a bill at the federal level. U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin has introduced the FAIR Drug Pricing Act, which recently Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee. “This bipartisan reform takes the first step in addressing skyrocketing prescription drug prices by requiring transparency for pharmaceutical corporations that plan to increase drug prices,” Baldwin’s office said in a statement. The bill states, “Drug manufacturers need to notify the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) and submit a transparency and justification report 30 days before they increase the price of certain drugs that cost at least $100 by more than 10 percent in one year or 25 percent over three years.” Members of the group shared their story with Milroy and addressed a number of issues like prescription drug prices, medical marijuana, surprise billing and the plight of vulnerable adults. Whitcraft explained she started taking the drug Betaseron. She said the drug helped her immensely and that instead of having to go in for treatment three to four times a year, she only had to go in once a year. In 1993 Betaseron entered the market at $11,000 for a year worth of medication. 15 years later in 2008 the same exact medication and amount cost Diane and her husband $30,000. “It’s the exact same medication, but the price keeps going up,” Whitcraft SEE MS, PAGE 6

No one would say you look a day under 240 years old
A
MERICA! is what Will Ferrell’s character in “The Other Guys” yells as he inadvertently drives his Prius into a crime scene. Soon after the car stops, the audience learns that the car’s exterior is covered in cocaine. It’s a very funny movie and it’s what I feel like yelling every Independence Day or when the United States does good in a particular sporting event like the Olympics. Obviously, that is not why men like Josiah Bartlett of New Hampshire or Oliver Wolcott of Connecticut signed the Declaration of Independence. They were rich white guys that put everything on the line to get out from under the heel of British rule. “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political Sentinel bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among Editor the powers of the earth, the separate Jonathan Richie and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” That is the introduction to the Declaration of Independence. Written by Thomas Jefferson in the summer of 1776 as the colonies began to compile their grievances, 27 in total, with King George III. Thanks to that document and then the Revolutionary War I get to say, Happy Birthday, America! You’re only 243 years old and you look pretty good. Your democracy still appears to be holding up and people still refer to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of possibly the greatest documents ever written. The ancient Egyptians existed for over 3,000 years and I believe America can reach that milestone. But that will only happen if scientists are wrong about climate change. Also, on an unrelated note, how is it that America doesn’t own the moon? We were there first and we didn’t take it from anybody. America planted its flag on the moon’s surface before anybody else. So naturally if the Earth does become unlivable I think America and our citizens should have exclusive rights to live on the moon. I hope you enjoy Independence Day and I hope Americans have the ability to celebrate 3,000 more of these. That’ll show those pyramid builders. Finally, I leave you with a quote from Benjamin Franklin, my favorite founder. “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” Give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email, editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.

Are remakes great art? BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK
W
hat has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. — Ecclesiastes 1:9, New International Version (NIV). I saw a great movie last month. It was this compelling tale about a troubled, aging music star who met a younger talented woman. He gave her a big break, they fell in love and as her From the Publisher’s star was rising, his set. It was a Desk real tear jerker, the man killed Tom Stangl himself so he wouldn’t be a burden to his wife and her career. Maybe you saw it as well. Called “A Star is Born,” it starred Bradley Cooper and Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (better known as Lady Gaga). It did pretty well at the box office and won some awards. I was very impressed that Bradley Cooper, who also directed the movie, could sing so well. I also thought the version of “A Star is Born” that came out in 1976, starring Kris Kristofferson
as the troubled music star and Barbra Streisand as the up and coming singer was pretty good. It also won some awards and did well at the box office. When I began watching old movies on cable TV, I discovered two other versions of “A Star is Born” – one in 1954 with James Mason playing an aging movie star and Judy Garland as the actress getting her big break and the original 1937 film with Frederic March and Janet Gaynor as the star-crossed couple. Each version has its own charms, but the essence of the story is the same. Can love outweigh the high personal cost of fame and success? Spoiler alert: the men can’t handle it, the women overcome because they have no other choice. “A Star is Born” (2018) was made because Lady Gaga has some acting skills. Is she a Barbara Streisand? Your answer depends on your age, in my opinion. Is Barbara Streisand a Judy Garland? Is Streisand a Janet Gaynor, the person who originated the role? Tougher questions. If you have seen any of the versions of “A Star is Born” track down the ones you haven’t seen and give them a whirl. It is fun to see where they are the same, where they are different and how

they are shaped by the time period of the production. Remakes get done because there is a large financial risk in making a movie. Some of that risk is mitigated if a successful movie can be remade to an audience that hasn’t seen it before as well as others who may have enjoyed the earlier version(s). It’s the same strategy used for all of the sequels Hollywood cranks out. I guess it’s a sign of my age that I even know there have been four versions of “A Star is Born.” I can find something to like about each version. What I dislike about this trend is the lack of vision and aversion of risk taken by entertainment executives. True art can inspire generations, true courage is green lighting projects that push boundaries. There are so many good stories out there and many talented artists. I hope more risks can be taken to bring some of these tales to life. As always, I welcome your comments.

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

THE CAPITOL REPORT
Supreme Court ruling not the end of challenges to lame-duck laws Three additional suits stemming from the controversial lame-duck laws remain even after the recent state Supreme Court ruling affirming the GOP extraordinary session in December. Of the three, only one remains at the state level. That suit was brought in February by the Service Employees International Union and four other unions, as well as northern Democratic state Sen. Janet Bewley. It alleges that by passing lame-duck laws that “strip as much power as possible from the Executive Branch and hand it directly to the Legislative Branch,” lawmakers violated the separation of powers clause in Wisconsin constitution. Dane County Judge Frank Remington in March ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. He temporarily enjoined parts of the lame-duck laws, including the requirement for the AG to get legislative approval before settling cases, language compelling state agencies to review their guidance documents, and portions of the law letting the Legislature repeatedly suspend administrative rules. GOP legislative leaders vowed to appeal, and a divided state Supreme Court in April decided to take over the appeal. The court said, “the interests of the state would be best served by the appeal bypassing the court of appeals and proceeding in this court.” In the process, it took over the entire appeal, including motions that were already pending in the 3rd District. That included a request for temporary relief that would be decided on the briefs
already filed. A split state Supreme Court in early June then chose to stay Remington’s ruling that held up enforcement of lame-duck session actions that prohibited the AG from settling lawsuits without legislative approval. But the court allowed to remain in place a stay that prevented the Legislature’s actions on guidance documents from taking effect. The GOP-authored laws would have rescinded those documents unless they had been through a new review process by July 1. The court noted agencies have been under the impression they wouldn’t have to meet that deadline because of the Dane County ruling holding up enforcement of the law and wrote agencies wouldn’t have time to complete the review if the stay was lifted. The next step is for the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments. Lester Pines, the attorney who has represented the governor in a number of legal challenges to the lame-duck laws, told WisPolitcs.com the June 21 ruling in the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin case would have little effect on the SIEU case. “They are dramatically different cases,” he said. “The issue is about the separation of powers. And that’s distinct from the League of Women Voters case, which was about the power of the Legislature under the constitution.” The court has ordered attorneys for both sides to begin briefing the issues and set deadlines running until September.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR the best record for cleaning up our CO2 emissions. Never mind that China and India are the worst offenders of producing CO2, and other pollutants. We in the U.S., according to the Paris Climate Accord, are primarily responsible to significantly change our way of life in order to save “the earth”, while the rest of the civilized world is free to continue polluting. The idea that “mankind” is solely responsible for the earths next episode of “climate change” demonstrates the depth of our self-importance. Pathetic. Robin Blomberg, Danbury

2016 case, which the One Wisconsin Institute suit was filed under, awaits a decision by a three-judge panel in the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court heard arguments in that case in February 2017 but has not taken action on it since. The final challenge to the lame-duck laws comes from the state Democratic Party, which in February brought a case in federal court alleging the measures were intended to blunt the results of the November elections that put Tony Evers and Josh Kaul in office. The suit argues that action violated the constitution, inappropriately interfered with the right of voters to free expression and association and discriminated against Dems based on political viewpoints and diluted their voices. Like the OWI suit, the DPW case is also before Peterson, who has set oral arguments for September 2020. The plaintiffs are also seeking an injunction blocking enforcement of the lame-duck laws. A DPW spokesman said he expects to see Peterson’s decision on that request in mid-to-late August.

Climate change is real Opinion: Climate change is real, and science supports my opinion. According to scientists, our earth has experienced five, or perhaps six Ice Ages, all of which occurred prior to the appearance of man. Science. This occurred over 30 billion plus years. Now politicians, sighting questionable science, claim that the next episode of climate change will be entirely caused by the “New Kid on the Block”, mankind. Never mind that one volcano eruption creates WAY more CO2 than all of the SUV’s, factories, coal powered electrical plants, and factories in the world. Never mind that the U.S. is currently the principal country with
Meanwhile, two challenges to the extraordinary session are being considered in federal court. The first suit — filed in December by the liberal One Wisconsin Institute, Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund, and others — seeks to block provisions restricting early voting that were included in the lame-duck laws. Those measures limit in-person absentee voting to two weeks before Election Day, among other things. The complaint argued the law’s provisions “are in direct violation” of an injunction U.S. District Judge James Peterson issued in 2016 after the institute sued to block restrictions on early voting locations and hours. It asked the judge to throw out a requirement under the law restricting college students’ ability to use certain college IDs to vote. The groups are also seeking to allow temporary voting passes held by individuals waiting for an official ID to be valid for 180 days, rather than 60 days under the law enacted during the lame-duck session. Peterson ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in January and struck down the provisions outlined in the case. In his ruling, the federal judge said it was “not a close question” that the GOP lame-duck restrictions violated an earlier injunction he issued. He also ruled the measures prohibiting a voter from using an expired student ID or a temporary voter ID for more than 60 days violated his prior injunction as well.

Wisconsin frac sand mines sit dormant as competition grows EAU CLAIRE— Wisconsin’s frac sand industry is grappling with several idled mines as the sector faces increased competition in Texas and Oklahoma. Kent Syverson, a geology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, believes the region’s frac sand development boom is over. Areas of western and central Wisconsin saw heavy investment from 2011 to 2014, when sand mines, processing plants and rail loading facilities were emerging throughout the area. Since then, Superior Silica Sands has idled three sand mines in Wisconsin, while Hi-Crush is halting production at its mine in Augusta. Syverson told the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram that demand remains strong, but energy companies have built mines closer to oilfields in Texas and Oklahoma. The production
expansion has lowered prices and allowed oil drillers to purchase local sand for less than the cost of shipping it from Wisconsin, he said. “The capital has already been invested in WisconKent Syverson sin, so Geology Professor the real questions are how much of this sand will still be needed and how many of these higher-cost operations that are taken off line will never come back,” he said. Syverson also argued that companies in the Permian Basin in West Texas and southeast New Mexico are moving toward finer grain sand. It’s lower quality but more plentiful than the northern white sand that’s produced in Wisconsin.
‘Wisconsin sand is still the Cadillac of all sands.’
“Wisconsin sand is still the Cadillac of all sands, but these companies in the Permian Basin are saying they can make more money driving a Chevy than a Cadillac,” Syverson said. “It’s all a cost-benefit analysis.” In the Upper Midwest, mines with the annual capacity of 18 million tons of frac sand have already been idled this year, said Ryan Carbrey of Houston-based energy research firm Rystad Energy. Carbrey expects the number to rise to 30 million tons by the end of 2019. The changes in the Permian Basin are important because the area accounts for half of the country’s shale energy production, Carbrey added. But he said major shale energy deposits in North Dakota and Pennsylvania still rely on northern white sand. “In those regions, there’s not really much good local sand,” he said.

It now sells for almost $100,000. Whitcraft added she did speak about the decision with her neurologist who supported her decision. Robin Helman asked Milroy about medical marijuana and if it could be coming to Wisconsin soon. “Are there any bills right now that are discussing it?” Helman asked. “I want to see it legalized for medical purposes.” Helman continued to explain she is “scared to death of opiates and narcotics.” She lived through the 1970s and does not believe in the gateway drug theory of marijuana. Milroy said that the state can legalize it for medical purposes, but at a federal level it is still a schedule one substance defined by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) as, “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” “However, I have always supported medical marijuana,” Milroy said.

Don Christenson is a quadriplegic and spoke about vulnerable adults.
“Crimes against vulnerable adults should be taken more seriously. These crimes should come with felony charges,” Christensen said. He read Milroy a painful letter about what it is like to live as a vulnerable adult. Over the years Christensen has had issues with finding personal caregivers that assist him in his daily life. “I will show you what helpless feels like,” he began. Christensen outlined an incident where his caregiver brought her husband to work. “Through most of my life I have always been able to handle whatever comes my way,” Christensen said. “Two

years ago, I found myself in a very dangerous situation.” Christensen and the caregiver had an argument and the husband got physically abusive with him. “This minor disagreement with her led to him bursting into my bedroom, grabbing my neck and forcing my head down between my knees,” he read. “He then growled, ‘I will show you what helpless feels like.’ I had absolutely zero choices while I was in that position. I did not know if I was going to survive that night.” Christensen ultimately had to convince the man that he, confined to a wheelchair, was not a threat. He spoke
calmly as he read the tale of fearing for his life. “Now you see why Don is such an inspiration to us all,” Whitcraft said. He also told Milroy about a law in Minnesota that says if a caregiver does not show up for work they could potentially lose their license. Milroy asked for more information on the law and said he would do what he could to continue supporting and helping the group.

Rural Arts Forum group shares ideas, offers resources, addresses challenges HARRIET RICE
Northern Lakes Center for the Arts in Amery was the setting for this year's Rural Arts Forum. More than 30 attendees represented communities from Rhinelander to Hudson and Stacy, Minn. The Forum was hosted by LaMoine and Mary Ellen McLaughlin, who, as the Center's directors, are celebrating 30 years of success in offering the community a wide variety of arts from a gallery to theater, classes, and chamber music. Guest speakers were George Tzougros, executive director of the Madison-based Wisconsin Arts Board,
who recently received the prestigious Michael Newton Award at the Americans for the Arts National Convention; Anne Katz, executive director of Arts Wisconsin, the state's leading arts advocacy agency; and Brittany Beyer, executive director of Grow North, a non-profit agency that partners with the Wisconsin Regional Economic Development Corporation. Also attending was Julie Fox, Department of Tourism regional specialist from Siren. To open the session, individual attendees shared their local arts activities and the challenges they faced going forward. For example, Arts in Hand Gallery, Spooner, will hold a "Clay Day"

on Saturday, August 17, from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m., celebrating pottery and the artists who create it. A number of individuals spoke of funding and recruiting/ retaining volunteers as their primary challenges. "I'm here to get to know you," said Fox, explaining there are grants available from the Department to market and promote large events. She touted the Wisconsin Governor's Conference on Tourism which is held annually in March, as an opportunity to network with agency staff and cabinet members, attend educational breakout sessions, and gather resources. "Help us help you; contact me with any questions you have," she said Katz presented statistics from a U.S. Department of Commerce and National Endowment for the Arts study: "Wisconsin's creative industries have a $9.7 billion annual impact on the state's economy," she said, continuing, "That creative workforce is larger than the state's beer, biotech and paper making sectors combined." and adding, "This research proves that creativity is a resource needed by every Wisconsin business and community in the 21st century. It is clear that Wisconsin's creative sector is a positive forces for change." The Wisconsin Arts Board was originally signed into law as a standalone agency by Governor Patrick Lucy in 1973, said Tzougros, opening his talk. In 2011, WAB was merged into the Department of Tourism. He went on to highlight some of the WAB's current activities, including Creative Communities grant awards, the Wisconsin Science Festival in October, and presence in the Tourism booth at the Wisconsin State Fair in August. Beyer, once a performing ballet dancer who now teaches in addition to
her work with economic development, couched her conversation in terms of her art because she was speaking to a room full of people who are either artists or involved with arts management at the local level. She offered several profound observations. "Speak the language of those in the room. When I am with economic development professionals, I rarely talk in artistic terms," she said. "I talk to their experience and their shared language. It’s important that we use that [shared language] as the tool for communication between sectors to show we understand and can work with them." She continued, "There is no 'box.' People say that we should learn to 'think outside the box,' but the reality is that there is no box. We create the boxes we live and work within. We have to be brave and recognize that we can create a different reality if we would like to." A challenge many rural communities face is that young people often move away and stay away, depleting the local talent, skill and entrepreneurial pool. "The truth is, some are ready to come back to start families or businesses, but I've heard that people -- like parents-stress they should stay away. "It’s time to change this conversation to, 'Go have your experience elsewhere, but please come back'," Beyer said. "We need to ask what services they need to make this transition easier, such as childcare vouchers, business start-up help, mortgage assistance programs, etc. We need to highlight their achievements and call them our own. It’s not hard- it just takes a radical shift in showing love."

Public hearing set on proposed hog farm JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
A public hearing will be held next month on the subject of the highly controversial proposed concentrated feeding animal operation, or CAFO, for hogs that is set to be built in Trade Lake. On July 11 at the Government Center Chapter 30 will be the subject of the public hearing as the county weighs the option of adding a moratorium of CAFOs in the county, similar to what Bayfield County attempted a few years ago. “Public notice is hereby given to all persons in Burnett County, Wisconsin, that the Burnett County Natural Resources Committee is proposing to amend Burnett County Code of Ordinances – Chapter 30, to establish a moratorium on the licensing of new livestock facilities that will have 1,000 or more animal units or expanding an existing facility to 1,000 or more animal units.” Chapter 30 of the county ordinances states, “the county board does ordain and enact this chapter regulating and restricting the location, construction and use of buildings, structures, and the use of land in the unincorporated portions of the county and dividing the county into districts.” The proposed CAFO has a lot of residents worried about its potential effects on the environment. Representatives from the farm have said they plan on having 7,500 sows and 200 boars and that they expect 30 piglets per sow per year. There has also been talk that they plan on doubling the number of hogs on the farm after a few years. According to the DNR online records, there is currently one CAFO in Burnett County. On one side of this is a man named Jeff Sauer that introduced himself as part of Clear View Solutions at a meeting in Trade Lake in April. This was after Sauer had attended a meeting in January first inquiring about a CAFO coming to the area. In March, Sauer submitted a preliminary permit application for a CAFO that will follow the Wisconsin pollutant discharge elimination system (WPDES) guidelines. Sauer submitted the application on behalf of Cumberland LLC. He also bought a 36-acre lot from Trade Lake chairman, Jim Melin.

KnowCAFOs.org has been at the front of this issue for months about the groups concerns about the proposed hog farm. This billboard is on Wisconsin Highway 87 just as drivers are entering Grantsburg village limits.
The WPDES permit program does not have authority to address odor, noise, traffic or other issues not related to water quality, according to the DNR. The final application will need to be submitted to the DNR for their internal review and processing. It will need to include a final nutrient plan, plan and specifications for any proposed facilities or systems, evaluations of previously constructed facilities or systems and finally they need to include 180-days manure storage calculations. The DNR will then look over those plans and move to approve them. If they are approved internally by the DNR then a draft permit will be prepared. A public notice of the permit will be re-
leased and then a public hearing on the permit will be held, if needed, which all indicators show a public hearing will be held in the case of the proposed Trade Lake CAFO. DNR officials will then respond to public comments and if everything becomes approved then a permit will be issued for the CAFO. CONCERNED CITIZENS A group of concerned citizens have been very vocal about their opposition to the proposed CAFO in Trade Lake.

BIGGER THAN TRADE LAKE Many of the concerned citizens are worried Wisconsin could turn into Iowa, a state that has seen water quality and natural resources allegedly deteriorated by these types of factory farms. “They will build one and then they won’t stop there,” one woman told the County Board of Supervisors in May. “We don’t want to be the next Iowa.” Other concerns include a major disease outbreak amongst the hogs and how will that be handled. The African swine fever has hit Asia hard in the last year, it is being called pig Ebola. Roughly 22 percent of China’s swine population has been killed by the disease or culled to stop the spread of the disease. It has spread from China to neighboring countries - Mongolia, Russia, Cambodia, and Vietnam. County Conservationist Dave Ferris said that is something that will have to be looked at if some type of disease like that comes to the proposed CAFO.

They have consistently asked the County Board of Supervisors to place a moratorium on the hog CAFO until an adequate environmental impact study can be done.

Broadband Boot Camp provides intro to growing ďŹ eld WITC program condenses classes into eight-day session Korbett Hunter held a section of what appeared to be a wire so thin that it was barely visible. However, it was not wire at all, but a glass fiber optic line, and Hunter’s task was to splice a couple of ends of it together. That’s where a device called an Optical Fusion Splicer came in. It was another day at the Broadband Boot Camp that wrapped up June 20 at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College. Made possible by a federal IMPACT grant, the goal of the classes that started June 10 was to introduce people to the work and opportunities in the broadband industry. As fiber optics are increasingly used to carry internet, telephone, television and data signals, demand for workers in the industry is high. The hope is that the boot camp experience will encourage students to enroll in a WITC Broadband Academy program or to seek a position with a company that will offer additional training, according to Dan Schullo, coordinator of the program. “We are introducing them to broadband,â€? Schullo said. “The boot camp condenses an eightweek class down to eight days, so they get a grasp of some of the fundamentals of the industry.â€? And one of the fundamentals is splicing together fiber optic lines. It’s a relatively simple procedure that people can be trained to do, even if they don’t have extensive background in technology. “I’ve held many jobs, from warehouse work to driving truck – mostly labor-type operations,â€? said Hunter, who came to the area three years ago and now lives near Trego. “Unfortunately, my computer skills are weak.â€? “We have a Learning Resource Center at WITC that can help with students’ skills, and we have online help, too,â€? Schullo said. “I thought this was something I could do to take me to the end,â€? said Hunter, 58. “I’ve enjoyed it. Everyone has been

extremely friendly and helpful.� Hunter, like others in the class, came through a referral from Workforce Resource, a regional workforce development agency that works with the unemployed and underemployed. Among them is Brad Wilkinson of River Falls, who attended the in-class sessions of the boot camp at the WITC-New Richmond campus. He will soon be a victim of the closing of Shopko stores. “I’ve been working retail for 18 years and this is the third time the store I’m working for is going through liquidation,� said Wilkinson, 40. “I thought it was time to look into other things.� Workforce Resource’s presence at a job fair for displaced
Shopko workers led him to the boot camp. “It was something related to an area I’m interested in,� Wilkinson said. “When I was a student at UW-River Falls, I worked at the IT help desk. It is a lot of material, but it is extremely interesting, and it’s exposing me to the programs available at WITC. Broadband is one of the areas I’m considering.� “I spent most of my life outside working,� said Jeff Wilson, 54, of Hayward. “It was time I started looking into other things.� Wilson noted his first introduction to what was involved in the boot camp was looking inside the box that contained the Wi-Fi connections in the Workforce Resource office. “This is giving me a feel for what they’re doing in broadband,� Wilson said. “I’m understanding it pretty well. I’m thinking about signing up for the classes.� “I was interested in broadband to begin with,� said Brady Hrdlicka, 18, of Rice Lake. “I love technology, and when I saw this on the WITC website, I thought I would give it a try.� He added that he plans on enrolling in the Broadband Academy in the fall. The boot camp included lab time and much online study, and some field trips. On June 17
the group toured Mosaic Telecom in Cameron. “We went to see what the workplace was like and the opportunities available,� Schullo said. “Mosaic is really focused on providing fiber optics to the home. There are some telecommunications companies out there that are really hurting for people.� Greeting the group during the tour was Mosaic CEO Scott Behn, who is departing for a job in Iowa. He noted that Mosaic has been a strong supporter of the broadband and other technology programs at WITC. “It allows us to continue to have a pipeline of educated future employees,� Behn said. “Even the people we are not able to hire here raise the level of the expertise in the entire industry. It benefits everyone. Besides technicians, we’re looking for people who can communicate with businesses in our sales force and customer service.� WITC is grateful to all its community partnerships.

The graduates represent communities in Barron, Burnett, Douglas, Sawyer and Washburn counties. According to Kevin Schoessow, UW Extension Area Agriculture Development Educator, “The new Master Gardener Volunteers will assist UW Extension in delivering programs that address community needs related to horticulture and gardening such as, increasing food security through gardening, assisting school garden programs to promote science awareness and nutrition in kids, or facilitating gardening projects at schools, libraries, and other public and tribal community sites.� The Master Gardener Volunteer trainees rated their experience as very favorable with comments such as: “So many gardening tips, I have already used many things I learned to help others who have gardening questions, the lectures from the experts at UW Extension were priceless, we have already started volunteering, very fun and learned so much.� Their confidence level on gardening subjects

Almost 90 students in grades 4-10 will be presenting Getting to Know‌ The Sound of Music as the culmination of a Grantsburg Summer School project. Public performances will be Tuesday, July 9 at 7 p.m. and Wednesday, July 10 at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Getting to Know‌ The Sound of Music is a student adaptation of the script based on the 1959 Award winning musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based on the true story of the von Trapp family, who lived in Austria just before the start of World War II. A young woman who is planning to become a nun, Maria (Greta White) leaves the Abbey at the request of The Mother Abbess (Jahnua Sahr) and takes a job as a governess in the home of the widowed Captain von Trapp (Mark Seeger) to care for his seven children (Josephine Richards, Joe Quintana, Blandina Ayohua-Hernandez, Dylan Seeger, Megan Harmon, Renae Rengo and Kaylie Moore). She learns to love the children, and their father, but when the Nazis take over Austria, the family must flee. “It has been an intense summer project,â€? says director Linda Benge. “These are talented and hard-working students who are doing a great job. We are rehearsing the show in different sections in the mornings as regular summer school, and then putting it all together in several afternoon rehearsals. The music in this show is some of the best ever. Costuming is especially intense because of the many specific demands of the script, and the many costume changes. We have also taken time to explore what was happening in history at this time, and how the country was affected by the Nazi rise to power.â€? The story is timeless and the music is unforgettable. Abby Alderman, Janessa Wachsmuth and Karin Reinert are assisting with the production. Tickets will be available at the door.

Sterling Settler’s Picnic 2019 PATZY WENTHE
Sunday, June 23, we had about 65 attendees for the 81st Sterling Settler’s Picnic at the Cushing Community Center. Marcie Marquardt started us off with her welcome greeting followed by the Pledge to the flag and the singing of the table prayer. It amazes us with so many mouth-watering choices to fill our plates. You can’t beat good food and great fellowship to nourish someone. Marcy took a moment to say thank you to all who help make this picnic a success. From the board members, the SELHS and the Cushing Bank for ice cream. Of course, all those who faithfully attend each year too! This gathering has a lot of history as one of the longest running area picnics with this being the 81st year. There were books on display with lists of those in attendance from the past as well as many pictures from past picnics that were on display. The Sterling Eureka Laketown Historical Society offered chances for new membership or renewal of current memberships. With a reward of a bottle of Hanson’s Maple Syrup! We hope you took a tour of the museum upstairs too. If you’re interested in joining contact: Russ Hanson of the Sterling Eureka Laketown Historical Society. Kristen Hanson gifted us with her voice in singing “My Country tis of thee.� Pastor Mark Peacock from the Wolf Creek Methodist Church was our special speaker. Russ Hanson took a moment to reflect on the loss of friends that have passed
this past year, and an update on Wolf Creek Cemetery expansion. Following the program, we were treated with strawberries supplied by the Russ Hanson family served with cake and ice cream. A great way to end the day! Each year we give awards to the oldest woman, oldest man and the longest married couple. This year’s ribbons went to: Oldest woman: Connie Gray (94). Oldest man: Orlow Widvey (96). Longest married couple: Myron and Verle Bergstrom (71 yrs – Oct.1947). As always, we honor the over “80� gang with almost half of the attendees in this group! Those in attendance this year: Andy and Geri Swenson, Mary Alma Johnson, Betty Meck, Marlene and Lyle Jahn, Orlo Widvey, Connie Gray, Verle and Myron Bergstrom, Orren Grandquist, Mary Christenson, Marlys Hedberg, Shirley Christianson, Bev Cambronne, Shirley Mitchell, Gene Swenson, George Williamson, Verner and Vi Dahlberg, Willis Christenson, Maurice Christianson, Virginia and Harold Larson, Bill Lindahl and Betty Dolittle.

Have you ever found yourself choosing between buying groceries and paying for medicine at the end of the month? Or maybe you have found yourself skipping fruits and vegetables and opting for cheaper, less nutritious foods so you have money to pay your utility bill? We believe these are choices no one should have to make. And that’s why we would like to make sure you are familiar with a benefit you may be eligible for called FoodShare. It’s a monthly benefit deposited on a debit-like card, the QUEST Card, to help with buying food. This can free up money for bills, medications and other necessities. It’s a completely free benefit to those who are eligible. Eligibility is based on income and certain expenses; many people who are working or receiving Social Security are eligible. Plus, claiming FoodShare benefits helps your local community. The USDA estimates that for every $5 spent in FoodShare benefits, about $9 circulates through local businesses and to our farmers. Claiming benefits you are eligible for is a great way to stretch your grocery budget while supporting your local community! Applying is fast, easy, and confidential. Feeding Wisconsin has a team of FoodShare Outreach Specialists who would be happy to assist you with the process. Your local FoodShare Specialist can be contacted by calling 715-496-3121. If she is unavailable, you can always call the FoodShare Helpline toll-free at 1-877-366-3635 for assistance.

Things are settling into a routine at the new home of HSBC, but more space for residents means more homeless pets. Keeping animals fed and sheltered is a large part of what HSBC does. However, the wellbeing of the pets waitiing for homes includes so much more. m In addition to daily care, tthere are several health iissues the shelter addresse es to help its residents llead full, healthy lives. R Routine medical care such a as worming, sterilization a and vaccinations are funde ed through adoption fees. H However, there are several Mr. D procedures that—while common—cost a bit more. Dental cleanings and extractions, disease-management medications, heartworm treatments and tumor removals are not beyond the scope of care the residents at HSBC may be provided. If you are a pet parent, you are probably aware even minor treatments may cost more than HSBC’s adoption fee. So, how are these treatments funded? Star’s Fund contains money set aside to finance these medical expenses. Lately, Star’s Fund has been depleted helping several residents to full health. These expenses include dental cleaning for a recently adopted Beagle, Snoopy, and removal of a benign growth on a Boston Terrier, Henry. The most recent benefactor of the Star’s Fund is Mr. D. This green-eyed, ginger adult male shorthair was left behind when his family moved away. He somehow acquired a laceration around his throat. Wound debridement and stitches were covered out of Star’s Fund. Mr. D will have a gnarly scar but is merely waiting for the medical OK before looking for a new home. Star’s Fund relies on specially earmarked donations to provide these services to the HSBC residents. HSBC is seeking your help to continue to provide for the medical needs of incoming pets. To donate, contact HSBC and specify that your donation goes to Star’s Fund. As always, the residents and staff thank you for your continued support toward the wellbeing of our area’s homeless pets!

MARK WALTERS AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL
Hello friends, One of the most important parts of my past, present and future is my relationship with the folks at Chimo Lodge and Outposts. This may seem odd to you, but I have been going to Chimo’s outposts since 1982. I have worked as their camp manager at Chimo Lodge and in 1989 started this column while working at Chimo. Last year when I heard my close friends Pete and Elizabeth Hagedorn had sold Chimo a part of me actually died. In reality much of whom I am is Chimo and I thought it may be over. I am pleased to say that the new owners Chris and Tammy LeBlanc and Daniel Wesolowski are doing an excellent job of what was a natural sale for the Hagedorn’s who are both in there 80s. This past week I returned to Schultz lake with a group of eight family members and friends and it was probably our best trip ever. Monday, June 17 High 72, low 50 We are all part of the same duck, deer and ice fishing camps, we attend a ton of weddings together, as well as graduations, we debate but don’t argue, we are tough and most important, we are fun. Today would be day three at Schultz Lake on a trip where I would see it at least start to get light out every night. The wind would blow out of the east every day, it did not rain and last August much of the shoreline on this lake was hit by what is very natural, and that is a forest fire. I was here in 95 when another fire burnt much of the area and it is an incredible experience. One of the many themes of this year’s trip would be black bear. On the drive up we just about hit one. The night before we flew into the bush we camped in
Pete and Elizabeth Hagedorn’s and a bear got into our coolers and boxes while we were sleeping no more than 20-feet away. That same bear broke into the home that the pilots live in that fly for Superior Air, also owned by the LeBlanc’s, and raised a lot of heck just before it hit our camp. My brother Tom has flown up from Louisiana with his 11-year-old grandson Nathan Woodruff. Tom has four grandsons and each year makes the journey. This would be Nathan’s second trip and yesterday he caught what would be our big walleye of the week at 27.5 inches. Yesterday, I was fishing with my stepson Joe Dushek and my daughter Selina. It was an awesome experience. Joe is 25, Selina is 18. We have a blast together and it is really fun to listen to these two as they talk all day long and are pretty good at catching fish as well as taking whatever hardships Mother Nature throws at them. We also saw a bear on the shoreline yesterday as well. My brother-in-law Dick “Schiester� I mean Schuster is up with his 30 and 26 year-old boys Riley and Trent. Both Riley and Trent really wanted me to write that uncle Mark caught what would be the winning northern pike for the week on day one at 38-inches. Don’t worry Trent, when I die you might beat me! Then there is Jeff Moll! Jeff and I have been buddies since I started beating him in wrestling matches back in middle school, which is a “slight exaggeration.� Jeff seems to have taken a magic pill as this year he has so much energy he is like a kangaroo with wings. If Jeff is not mercilessly wrestling one of the kids on the kitchen floor, he is getting his heinie kicked in another fishing bet. My buddy Moll and I became blood brothers back in the 80s while sitting around a campfire and if I ever do or say anything “awkward,� blame Jeff! As has become the norm, this morning Jeff, Riley, Trent, Joe and I were gabbing and laughing as night became day and we were well aware that we had four days left in paradise! It doesn’t get any better than this! Sunset.

Pet store shows appreciation for customers KAYLA CASEY SENTINEL STAFF
The Siren Pet Store held their annual Customer Appreciation Day this last Saturday, June 29. There was something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Outside they had a petting zoo with goats, llamas, sheep, a donkey, a horse and a calf. Inside the building, there were more animals to enjoy such as hamsters, rabbits, ducks, chicks and puppies. The children seemed to be really enjoying seeing the baby ducks and chicks under their heating lamps. Farm Feral and Stray, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to “humanely manage free-roaming cat populations by implementing trap-neuter-return” also made an appearance at the Siren Pet Store. They were showing off some of their kittens who are ready for adoption and educating the public on what it is they do and how they are helping the community. The
kittens were loving the attention at first, bounding around on their perches in the kennels, but once the day got warmer, they began to take shelter under their beds to stay cool out of the sun and took nice warm naps. Farm Feral and Stray were also having a Paw Print Fundraiser during Customer Appreciation Day. Community members could bring their beloved fur babies to their booth and receive an on-site personalized paw print picture by Barb Jorgensen. She would take the pet’s paw print(s) and create a personalized painting out of them, and they turned out beautifully. Among the children’s favorite activities during Customer Appreciation Day was the pony rides and the wagon rides. The wagon rides were being given by Coen’s Percherons. While partaking in the wagon rides, owner Russ Coen and his daughter Jyllian Coen, would tell a little history about their horses and their farm. The two horses giving the wagon rides were
The petting zoo was a big hit for all. It included goats, llamas, sheep, a donkey, a horse and a calf.

named Jordan and Gypsy. Jordan is 12 years old and Gypsy is 15 years old. Russ stated that his father used to tell him that the best horse teams pulling wagons could go 20-25 miles in one day in the right conditions. He said, imagine back in the day when people were moving from California to our area, how long it would take them to get here given that the conditions were hardly ever perfect. The Coen family was wonderful, and Jordan and Gypsy were more than happy to be receiving love from all of the children who attended. After partaking in all of the wonderful activities at the Siren Pet Store, they also provided a free lunch that consisted of delicious brats, chips and drinks. Although the day was a scorcher outside, everybody seemed to be enjoying Customer Appreciation Day at the Siren Pet Store.
These two boys were very much enjoying their time on one of the many wagon rides provided at the Siren Pet Store.
Brother and sister enjoyed their time together on the Coen Family’s wagon ride, even in the hot sun.

The Art of Natural Play
A free, drop-in summer art program at the Cable Natural History Museum’s Wayside Wandering Natural Play Area is engaging artists of all ages and abilities this summer. From June 28 through August 10, families can join local artist Donna Post for The Art of Natural Play on Friday and Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. “It’s always fun to work with kids of different abilities and interest levels,” Donna told me recently. She chuckled as she remembered one preschooler who had no interest in making a leaf book—her planned craft of the day. Always flexible, she switched gears and offered him a different project making a bracelet out of pipe cleaners. He brightened up, and by the end was blowing kisses to his new “grandma” as he left. On the other end of the spectrum, a twelve-yearold girl dove right in to a craft using recycled dictionary pages and artistically placed images cut from other sources. So impressed was the girl’s grandma, that she had the artwork framed

and came back to share that with Donna. As the adults exclaimed over her creation, the girl mused thoughtfully that “Maybe I will become an artist.” You could see Donna’s heart bursting as she relayed both of these stories. She finds joy in helping every kid discover their artistic side. Donna also makes a point to use natural materials and get kids out exploring whenever possible. For example, she’ll send kids out searching for their own totem stick and other materials to decorate it with. She challenges them to find the most interesting leaves for gluing into their plant books, and then shoos them off to play on the slide or the treehouse while the glue dries. Even the youngest artists are encouraged to make leaf rubbings with old crayons, and to investigate the textures and colors of natural objects. The Wayside Wanderings Natural Play Area is open all year to families who have signed risk waivers at the Museum or at the on-site kiosk. It’s located at 43135 Randysek Road in Cable, WI. Several forest paths link a treehouse, slide, cargo net spider web, Salamander Room reading nook, Stairway to the Sky, and Fairy Village. During the summer, picnic tables and a Porta Potty are available on-site. For any questions, please contact Emily Stone at emily@cablemuseum.org or by phone at 715-798-3890.

Keeping the lights on, making a difference, no rate increase, plus food and prizes make a great annual meeting for electric co-op members CENTURIA––Polk-Burnett hosted its 81st Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Open House in June. The open house provided fun for all ages, including bucket truck rides, electricity experiments, face painting and selfies with Solar Sam and linemen gear, plus root beer floats, BBQ sliders, donuts, kettle corn and cheese curds from local food trucks. More than 650 members and guests attended. 81ST ANNUAL MEETING General Manager Steve Stroshane and Board President Ed Gullickson reported that the state of the cooperative remains strong: Polk-Burnett delivered reliable power with efficiency and extraordinary service to more than 20,000 electric co-op members, according to its mission. Members heard financial and power quality updates, as well as the status of renewables on the system and how the co-op is making a positive difference in our community. MAKING A DIFFERENCE Gullickson said that community service is one of Polk-Burnett's core values and the co-op is proud to demonstrate the cooperative difference with $57,500

in scholarships to the Class of 2019 and $57,000 in Operation Round Up grants to 72 local nonprofits in 2018. Beyond financial support, co-op employees performed 680 hours of community service last year. RENEWABLE ENERGY Polk-Burnett is also making a difference by increasing renewables for co-op members. “Each year, Polk-Burnett’s power provider, Dairyland Power Cooperative, adds more solar and wind to reduce carbon emissions,” said Stroshane. “At present, about 20 percent of the energy that flows into Polk-Burnett’s local distribution system is renewable energy.” Polk-Burnett also offers rebates for members who install residential wind and solar, and co-op members can purchase renewable energy blocks through the Evergreen program. In addition, the 10-acre SunTuria Solar array in Centuria is generating renewable power for Polk-Burnett members; solar energy output can be viewed on polkburnett.com. 99.97 PERCENT RELIABLE “No matter how your electricity is generated, Polk-Burnett’s number one goal is to keep the lights on for its local members,” said Stroshane. In 2018, the electric co-op invested $3.5 million to upgrade and maintain a reliable electric system. The same is planned for 2019. This investment resulted in less than one hour without power per member per year, which puts Polk-Burnett in the top 25 percent of co-ops nationwide for reliability.
SMART MONEY MANAGEMENT 57¢ of every dollar collected on Polk-Burnett electric bills goes to Dairyland Power to purchase electricity electric co-op members; just 21¢ pays for operating expenses to deliver electricity to your homes. Another 18¢ goes to pay interest, taxes and depreciation, and 4¢ is operating margins. Total 2018 operating revenue for Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative was $32,770,000. “We're working to keep expenses down and are happy to report that rates will not go up in 2019,” said Gullickson. “We have the capacity to pay debt, invest in a reliable grid and return Capital Credits to you.” The complete financial report and 2018 audit are posted on polkburnett.com. GIVING MONEY BACK Polk-Burnett returned $1,225,000 in Capital Credits to members last year. That's a direct benefit of co-op membership. In 2018, members also received $146,664 in EnergySense rebates and saved 1 million kWh of electricity as a result of Polk-Burnett’s EnergySense program. “If you want to upgrade your home for comfort and energy efficiency, we can help,” offered Gullickson. Gullickson invited members and guests to follow the co-op on Facebook and Twitter and visit polkburnett.com to stay in touch. All members who attended were entered into a drawing for a TV, iPad and 10 $50 electric bill credits. Members received insulated tote bags and ice scrapers, and kids received $5 DQ cards and co-op coloring books.

Wisconsin Senate approves online tax bill, income tax cuts MADISON— The state Senate has approved a bill that would require online vendors like Amazon to collect and remit sales taxes from third-party sellers in perpetuity, a move that would trigger income tax cuts. Under the bill , revenue from the taxes
would cover reductions in the two lowest income tax brackets. Taxpayers could expect an average reduction of $27 for 2019 and $59 for 2020. The Senate approved the bill unanimously Wednesday. The Assembly passed it last week. The measure goes next to Gov. Tony
Republicans press Evers to approve state budget MADISON— Republicans are pressing Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to approve the state budget. The GOP spent the last few months stripping Evers’ policy proposals out of the budget and whittling down his spending plans. The Assembly and Senate passed the budget this week. Evers can now sign it into law, veto it or use his partial veto powers to revise it to make it more palatable for Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and other Republicans held a news conference Thursday to urge Evers to sign it. Fitzgerald says the worst thing Evers could do is veto the entire budget. He says it would be difficult to restart the process and build another budget he’d find acceptable. Evers hasn’t revealed what he may do.
Evers. His spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to an email asking if he supports the bill. Coupled with an income tax cut plan Republicans inserted in the state budget, taxpayers could expect a total annual reduction of $91 in 2019 and $124 in 2020.
DNR board OKs regulations for catfish seasons MADISON— The state Department of Natural Resources board has approved permanent regulations governing bow- and hand-fishing seasons for catfish. The regulations impose no statewide size limit but establish a daily bag limit of one flathead catfish and five channel catfish. The hand-fishing season would run from June 1 to Aug. 31. The bow-fishing season would run concurrent with the rough fish bow-fishing season. That season runs continuously
across the southern two-thirds of the state. Then-Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill in April 2018 that permits taking catfish by bow, crossbow or by hand. The board adopted emergency rules in October implementing the seasons. The permanent regulations mirror those rules. The board approved the rules unanimously during a meeting Wednesday in Barneveld. The rules are still subject to legislative approval.

Asking for forgiveness
THOMAS COOK Associate Pastor of Danbury, Grace, Siren and Lewis United Methodist churches
“If we say we have not sinned, we make him (God) out to be a liar, and his word is not in us.� This line from I John 1:10 reminds us that we must live by forgiveness. We need God’s forgiveness. The people we walk with need forgiveness. Those who are near and dear to us need to experience forgiveness. Strangers need forgiveness. Young people need forgiveness. Older people need forgiveness. Teenagers need forgiveness. Children need forgiveness. People new to the faith experience need forgiveness. Old saints need forgiveness. You simply will never meet anyone that does not need forgiveness. You need forgiveness and I need forgiveness. So how do we get forgiven? We have to
ask. And those of us in the faith community have learned to ask for forgiveness. We have been given a prayer by which we can ask for forgiveness in a manner which must be pleasing to God because Jesus himself gave it to us. The prayer is familiar and likely will be recognized by most of us. It is contained within that familiar prayer we call the Lord’s Prayer. It goes like this, “Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.� Our being forgiven depends upon our being forgiving. How many times have you prayed that prayer? When you have been wronged you must forgive if you hope to be forgiven. That is to say when you have been the one injured and hurting you must be forgiving

if you hope to be forgiven when you are the guilty party. God says that you have been the guilty party. Sometimes we are aware and sometimes we are not aware of our guilt. One thing we know unless we think God is a liar, we are guilty, so we need to get down on our knees and ask for forgiveness even as we extend forgiveness to those around us. Because guilt distorts our vision it is even possible that that other person is in the right and you are the guilty party. So, forgive. Forgive! It will set you free in ways that you cannot even imagine. Forgiveness is not a nice perk of believing in Jesus, it is an essential ingredient in the good life of living in God’s Good News.

DAVID SMITH David’s family have been residents of Siren for 40 years. He has taught kindergarten through twelfth grade Art in both Webster and Siren School districts. He usually works with wood and combines that with objects from the past. David admires the craftsmanship of these objects and incorporates them into new environments. There is a name for this kind of art called, “Found Object Sculpture.” David says, “This form of art allows me to use my imagination to speak about my thoughts and ideas. I view theses sculptures as my journey through life. It allows me to be serious and humorous. I hope you can tell the difference!’ David believes art, like life, is continually problem-solving. To him life is like visiting the lost and found every day.
MEGAN A. SCHMIDT Ever since Megan was a young girl, she has left a trail of dried paint on nice carpet, clothes and once on her older sister’s hair spray for revenge. She has always loved experimenting, creating
and spending time outside. She remembers as a child bundling up and lying under a pine tree weighted down with snow at dusk. It was magical watching the snowflakes appear out of the twilight; I loved being alone in the quiet, curled up in the snow; I felt like I was camouflaged into the landscape and truly alive.” Every time she paints outside, she feels that connected peace with nature and wants to share those moments with others through her paintings. “I love trying to capture how light can illuminate an ordinary tree and cast a wonderful shadow on the other side of it. It makes me realize nothing is ordinary, there is amazing beauty everywhere.” BRENDA HAACK “My life to date has been a journey to find my creative voice; to share my love of simple, quiet beauty. I am fascinated by things that have many lives – re-purposing of materials is important to my approach in jewelry design.” Brenda works primarily with silver, gold, enamel and stone to create simple, organic forms. She gathers stones from the shores of Lake Su-
perior. The stones are precious to her because they are ancient and strong, yet soft and smooth from years of tumbling in the surf. For years she lived on a small lake in Northwest Wisconsin and became mesmerized by the movement and colors of the water, sand and shore. These are the colors and shapes that inform and inspire her work. She has studied with many metal-smiths and enamel artist to learn just how to translate her visions into real form. Brenda states, ‘My goal with every piece of jewelry that I make is to share a piece of my heart and soul. My intention is that my Dragonfly and Damsel creative designs will become for you a wearable piece of art.” artZ Gallery is an artist-owned and operated gallery with changing monthly exhibits featuring member and guest artists. artZ Gallery is located at 208 Keller Ave., Amery. Artists interested in exhibiting can get application information at the Gallery or visit the website: www. artzgallery.org.

Traffic light down in Grantsburg People driving through Grantsburg Saturday morning saw the flashing red lights on all four corners after a traffic light went down on the north side of the intersection and Highway 70 and South Pine Street.
There is going to be a Scam Information meeting on Thursday, July 11, at 1 p.m. There will be many representatives from various organizations. This is being sponsored by Landmark Masonic Lodge #244 of Frederic. Everyone is welcome. The farmers market is open every Saturday. Stop in and check it out. We are going to have another evening meal in July. It will be held on the third Wednesday of the month which happens to be July 17 at 5 p.m. Call 715349-7810 and leave a message to reserve your spot. The menu will be brats/hotdogs, potato salad, Cheetos/chips, relish tray and strawberry shortcake. The Doriott family are going to have a Celebration of Life for Doris and George Doriott on Saturday, July 6, beginning with the 1 p.m. burial of George’s urn on Doris’s grave at the Lakeview Mudhen Lake Cemetery, followed by a gathering at their home on Larson Lake. Both parents died this winter a week apart. We had three lucky dime bingo winners this week. Gladys Beers, Bill Bruski and Nona Severson split $19. I have not heard if we plan to play spades July 5. I would suggest you call the center at 715-349-7810 and see if anyone is around. The 500 winners were Tom Knopik, Butch Connor, John LaFond, Roger Greelyl, Sue Newberger. Carl Link got the 9 bid. We had some new players and we hope they will continue to come back. There were no spade winners because the paper needed items early due to the holiday. I will try to have them next week. Have a fun, safe holiday and enjoy celebrating.
