INDEPENDENCE DAY: Photos from the Fourth Of July festivities P8, 9 & 16
Fatal two vehicle collision in Osceola At approximately 11:30 p.m. on July 2, the Polk County Sheriff’s Dispatch began receiving calls regarding a two-vehicle collision on Highway 35 just north of 90th Avenue in the Town of Osceola. According to a press release received from the Sheriff’s Department, upon arrival at the scene, it was discovered that there were two GMC pickup trucks that had met near the center line, nearly head on. In one of the pickup trucks was a single male occupant and in the other pickup truck was a male and a female. All of the occupants seemed to have sustained substantial injuries. Ambulance, first responders, and fire units were called to the scene and air ambulances were also utilized. The lone male was initially transported to the Osceola Medical Center but was later taken to Regions by air ambulance. The male and female in the other vehicle had succumbed to their injuries and passed away while still on the scene. They were identified as SEE CRASH, PAGE 2
‘Passing of the keys’ JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
Jerry Fiedler owned and operated Fiedler Ford for 40 years and now the iconic building in Downtown Grantsburg has officially been sold and the keys have been passed to the new owner. Fiedler Ford announced they were closing their doors back in February 2019. Since then they have been selling off their inventory of automobiles and lining up a new owner of the building.
That’s when Derry Peterson stepped in and decided he would buy the building. Peterson has been working at Diamond Collision in Webster and decided last year that he was going to purchase the building and turn it into a hot rod shop. Legenderry Auto Body is hoping to open by the fall in October. He said he was bored with working on regular cars, including mini-vans and wanted to shift to working on hot rods. SEE FIEDLER, PAGE 2

Public input sought for bridge projects JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) announced they are asking for public comments on two separate bridge projects in Burnett County. One is on State Road 70 and the other is State Road 77. The bridge project on State Road 70 (WIS 70), which connects Grantsburg and Pine City, is scheduled to begin in 2022. The State Road 77 (WIS
77) project would start in 2021. WisDOT put out a press release on Monday to explain the projects and why the input has been moved online instead of traditional meetings. “To slow the spread of COVID-19, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is moving efforts to seek public comment on two proposed St. Croix River bridge projects – one on WIS 70 and the other on WIS 77, both in Burnett County,” the release

stated. “The public is invited to go online, review project
detail materials and submit comments by email or mail to
project staff.” The WIS 70 bridge is almost 30 years old and is “experiencing deterioration on the concrete bridge deck and the concrete throughout the structure. Some of the riprap stone has been washed away near the abutments during high water events.” These are the improvements WisDOT is suggesting: • Concrete bridge deck overlay. SEE BRIDGE, PAGE 2

After the collision took place, both vehicles ended up in the south bound lane.

Brust and Swanson’s pickup rolled onto the driver’s side and ended up along the west roadway edge while the lone male’s pickup stayed upright and came to a rest near the center of the roadway, facing north. The crash is still being investigated by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The Polk County’s Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Allied Fire and First Responders, the St Croix Fire Department, the Osceola Fire Department, the St. Croix Falls Fire Department, the St Croix Falls and Osceola Police Departments, the Life Link air ambulance service, and the Polk County Medical Examiner’s Office.
• Concrete surface repairs and joint repairs. • Polymer overlay on sidewalk to protect the concrete. • Replacement of missing riprap stone near the abutments. • Replacement of guardrails and approach pavement on WIS 70. They also provided a number of traffic impacts of the WIS 70 bridge project • WIS 70 will remain open to traffic, with work completed one lane at a time and temporary signals directing traffic over the bridge. • Widths will be restricted on this oversized, overweight (OSOW) truck route. Alternative OSOW routes are available between Wisconsin and Minnesota. • Pedestrian access will be maintained across the bridge with staging. • Local and emergency access will be maintained to adjacent properties. The WIS 77 project is calling for similar improvements and a similar three to four month completion time. This bridge is seven years older, built in 1984 and is having similar problems as the WIS 70 bridge. The DOT added that river navigation will be maintained during these projects.

JULY 8, 2020
A safe but weary day
S
omeone once said, “Nothing is more important than independence and freedom.” This weekend in Siren people practiced their freedoms and independence. It was a beautiful day outside. Every year people come to Siren to celebrate Independence Day. The day begins with the Freedom 5K, then there’s bed races, pancake breakfasts, a race for kids, then the parade and fireworks go off over Crooked Lake at dusk. Now I don’t know if you’ve heard, but 2020 has been an interesting year with this coronavirus thing. So, when Siren decided to go forward with the festivities they scaled back a bit and made some new rules. They would only be having the 5K, bed races, the parade and fireworks. Siren’s village president was very proud that the village went Sentinel forward with the festivities. But it created quite a headache for local Editor law enforcement. There were sevJonathan Richie eral meetings with police discussing the issues with the Village. This increased presence was not to protect people by enforcing social distancing but to make sure the event did not get out of control and lead to protests. Members of the sheriff’s office were anticipating a potential of 10,000 people. One police officer said he believed there was maybe 700 in attendance at the parade on Monday afternoon. There was also fear of social groups busing in protesters following the unrest in the Twin Cities following the murder of George Floyd. I felt safe all day, except for the heat. When it gets past 90 degrees it’s important to remember that heatstroke happens when you stop sweating. So, while I was standing and sweating on the corner of Main Street and State Road 35/70 I knew it wasn’t heatstroke but could be dehydration. However, we’ll see what the numbers look like in two weeks with COVID-19 cases. There wasn’t 10,000 but there was certainly more than the CDC recommendation of no gatherings larger than 10 people. I saw a handful of masks Saturday. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t wearing one. But to be honest I have been keeping 6 to 10 feet away from people since learning to talk. At the end of the day, Americans are going to cling to what the Founding Fathers laid out for us during the American Revolution. Although, this virus does not care what country you live in or who you voted for. So, maybe we should be a little smarter over the next several months. Again – not a doctor just a thought from someone who loves America just as much as being alive. And finally, the quote from the beginning is from Ho Chi Minh, a nationalist who read directly from the Declaration of Independence back in September 1945 after he proclaimed the independent Democratic Republic of Vietnam in Hanoi’s Ba Dinh square.

Summer adventures and grape Tang
I
f you believe the weather forecast, it looks like we will be in for another scorcher this weekend. Temperatures are slated to climb into the mid to upper 90s, with high humidity. When I was in high school, one year we put on a production of “Damn Yankees” as the fall musical. I recall the main character, Joe Boyd, who lives in Hannibal, Missouri, going on about how boring (and hot) his hometown is in the summer. He talks about people waiting on their porches for Canada to kick open the back door and let some of the cool, dry air come their way. I recall many summers as a child From the Publisher’s waiting for that fictional “door” to open just a crack to give us some Desk relief from the heat and humidity. It didn’t happen too often, but we Tom Stangl learned that a box fan used in an i d open window properly (blow out during the day, in at night) could do wonders. Summertime was the time to spend all sorts of time with neighborhood friends. You have to remember that this was before cable TV (heck before widespread color TV), cell phones, personal computers and home video games (unless you were a millionaire). We would get on some tangent, whether it was playing the card game Spades or swimming and diving in the municipal pool, and literally run it into the ground. There was one summer when we played pickup games of baseball on what seemed to be nearly a daily basis. There was another summer when grape flavored Tang came out. We drank so many pitchers full of the drink that we later learned that food coloring has a way of passing through the body relatively unscathed. Sometimes, we developed rather grandiose ideas,

like building a raft out of empty oil drums to float down the small creek that ran through my hometown. This particular plan grew in scale until we realized that we would need to weld the raft together and carry the several hundred pound craft a half mile to a creek that was so shallow you could walk across it without getting your knees wet. Needless to say, this particular plan did not come to pass. I recall spending the night with a friend during the summer. We snuck out of the house at 2 a.m. to see what was going on in town. Having never been out and about at that hour of the morning, we were unsure of what we might see. That was the allure of the adventure. Would we see a murder? Car accident? Drunks? We went downtown and saw absolutely nothing but a deserted downtown. No crime, no drunks, nothing but the closed stores and no cars. After making a second round of the four block downtown (just to be sure) we bought a can of pop and returned home. That was our big adventure on a warm summer evening. Childhood, like summertime, passes far too quickly. I’m sure you all have memories or stories like these. It’s often fun to share these with your children, for no other reason than to let them know that you too, once were a kid. Enjoy the hot weather, but take it easy on that grape Tang. Sure, it tastes good now, but trust me, you won’t like it later. 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 Burnett County Sentinel makes every effort to insure accuracy in all classified and display advertising, but will not be liable for errors beyond the cost of first insertion.

CAPITOL REPORT
Opioid addiction worsens due to pandemic WISPOLITICS.COM
While the attention of media, elected officials and community leaders has been focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, another crisis — opioid addiction — has worsened in Wisconsin. From January to May of this year, Wisconsin Department of Health Services data shows the state’s suspected opioid overdoses number 2,739. That number represents a 48 percent increase from 1,852 the same time last year. “The opioid crisis is happening within a pandemic,” said Mary Henningfield, principal investigator with Wisconsin Voices for Recovery. “Even before COVID started in January, there has been an increase (in suspected overdoses) every month over 2019. We do hear frequently that there is definitely an uptick in the need for services.” One legislative champion of measures to curb addiction agrees the shutdown hurt those who were suffering from addiction and other issues. “Understandably, COVID kind of took the focus. But our response to it, unfortunately, in my opinion, actually probably made the opioid crisis, mental health crisis, drug addiction crisis… (and) suicide actually worse because the response was: basically shut down all nonemergency type procedures,” said Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette. “You have to make sure that the cure isn’t worse than the Mary Henningfield disease, and Principal Investigator with unfortunately Wisconsin Voices for Recovery for some of our most vulnerable I’m afraid it might have been.” Wisconsin Voices for Recovery is within UW-Madison’s Department of Family Medicine and Community Health. Funded primarily through DHS, the addiction advocacy organization works with 11 recovery

community organizations statewide to provide peer support. Before COVID-19, the organization planned to do a lot of community outreach, primarily in communities of color, as part of a recent grant. Montee Ball is an outreach specialist for Wisconsin Voices for Recovery, an organization with a mission to support those in recovery or seeking recovery for substance use disorders, including opioid Montee Ball Outreach Specialist for Wisconsin use disorder. He joined Voices for Recovery forces with the organization to use his voice as a former Wisconsin Badgers and Denver Broncos running back to help others avoid addiction that eventually ended his NFL career. Today he meets with minority community leaders and helps them get the support they need. But with COVID-19, everything had to be shut down, including support meetings and non-emergency health care, forcing groups like Wisconsin Voices for Recovery to rely on virtual meetings and connections. “I’m thankful to be going on four years of sobriety, but I can only imagine how it would be if I was two months into it and then everything gets shut down,” Ball said. “I most likely, probably would relapse, unfortunately. And because you’re told to stay home, well I would stay home and maybe do some things I shouldn’t have done.” What helps individuals to stay sober is to build a community by going to therapy, hanging out with friends who understand the path and attending sober events. While virtual peer support has allowed sponsors and support to easily reach people far away and in more remote regions of the state, Ball said that it’s just not as personable — or effective. “There’s something very special about being face to face and in the same room with those that are in recovery,” he said. “Seeing the energy, feeling the vibes and hearing the stories out of

someone’s mouth other than a speaker in your laptop.” Both Ball and Henningfield agree that Wisconsin Voices for Recovery has done a great job of adapting and pivoting to be there for those who need it, whether it’s to hear a positive story or keep individuals on their sobriety journey. But it’s not easy. There’s all kinds of factors at play, including the stay-athome orders, the stress and anxiety related to that, and the financial concerns when people lost their job or were homeless, according to Henningfield. “That has all contributed,” she said. “The opioid crisis is still there very much, and if anything, it has accelerated a little bit. There is so much focus on COVID, but we don’t want to lose sight of helping other people.” Nygren is no stranger to the effects of substance abuse and opioid addiction. “My daughter, who is 31 years old now, has struggled with addiction, pain pills, later heroin, to the point where she’s incarcerated now,” he said. His constituents are also impacted by the crisis. “Marinette was an early indicator for what was to come nationally,” Nygren said. “We had a doctor actually selling prescriptions for Oxycontin back in the mid-2000s. Because of that, we had a lot of (young) people who became addicted.” But even after the doctor went to federal prison and the opioid supply “dried up,” Nygren said heroin dealers Mary Henningfield came in to fill Principal Investigator with Wisconsin Voices for Recovery that void. “We were impacted early and a lot of deaths, a lot of lives that have been negatively impacted,” he said. But an increase in suspected overdoses is just one of the challenges
‘There is so much focus on COVID, but we don’t want to lose sight of helping other people.’
that addiction advocates are facing. The other is stigma. “One of the barriers that we’re still facing is stigma within public perception, because I still hear people say things like ‘if you have an opioid problem, just stop,’” Henningfield said. “There’s not really the compassion or empathy that this is a really serious health care crisis and people need help on their road to recovery.” Ball echoed Henningfield: “I want to bring down that wall, that stigma, because I feel like as more people approach addiction with compassion, empathy, we’ll be able to make some significant strides.” And while Nygren argues that Wisconsin and the nation have come a long way, he too said outdated perceptions pose challenges in obtaining funding and passing legislation. “Until it affects someone you know, until it affects your family directly, I still do think there’s a certain amount of stigma revolving around both of them,” he said. “We’ve improved, we’ve put a lot more money in Wisconsin into substance abuse and mental health and nationally as well. I think there is still more investment that needs to be made.” Nygren noted two bills pending in the state Senate: an extension of the 911 Good Samaritan Law, which will expire if the Senate does not act; and a pilot program that would allow for coverage of nonaddictive form of pain treatment such as chiropractic, physical therapy or acupuncture, which is not a covered service today.

The desire to catch a salmon! AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS
Hello friends, My desire to catch a salmon on Lake Michigan while paddling a canoe makes almost zero sense to a person that knows how to fish salmon. Paddle trolling a canoe on Lake Michigan while pulling planer boards and deep running lures with weights in most cases does not allow your lure to have the proper action and that is a guaranteed fact if you have a head wind. My memory tells me that I have caught at least 12 salmon out of canoe so I ignore common sense. The danger aspect is beyond stupid. Folks I have to tell you though, when you hook into a salmon after paddling for hours, sometimes days, and you land that salmon, you have achieved something in a canoe that I have never seen anyone else attempt to do. Saturday, June 27 High 81, low 55 I would rig my canoe and launch it at Seagull Marina and Campground in Two Rivers. The launch here is only big enough for one boat at a time and I watched at least 25 rigs go in the water while I got my canoe ready for up to two days on the water. On this experience I did not plan on coming back to the landing and had a sleeping bag packed. So the word on Lake Michigan this summer is that there is an excellent salmon bite and the fish have good weight. I would be
using my Helix 7 for electronics and it took me almost an hour to paddle out to get into deep enough water to hold salmon. I would use flasher/fly combos, spoons, and switched over to glow spoons at dark. The largest challenge to this trip besides not filling your canoe with water and paddling fast enough is the physical part of it. I sit on a tote and I paddle and I paddle and you always have to believe that any minute your line is going to start peeling off your reel at breakneck speed and you have to pull your other lines, fight your fish, and control the canoe as well as not fall out. The last hour of daylight I was in 115-feet of water and fishing among the charters and dozens of hopeful salmon fishermen that without a doubt were thinking I was a complete fool for being out in an open canoe two-miles from shore. I paddled, checked my lines, and changed my lures until just after midnight. I did not see anyone else on the water at that time and I hit shore in a bit of craziness. I was north of town a few miles and the waves were breaking on shore and due to the rise in the lake I could not find any dry land that did not have a 4-15-foot sand wall. I used my spotlight and found dry land just big enough for my canoe and then kicked a trough in the sand put my sleeping bag in it, tied my canoe and myself to it and went to sleep, I was done in! Sunday, June 28 High 84, low 56 I had planned on sleeping until
five cuz I was in pain. I could not do it and got up at four and began the one-hour paddle to deep water. I was by the lighthouse that is north of town and I had high hopes as I eventually made it out to the charters and locals who once again were enjoying the Mark Walters Show. I know fish were caught but I can honestly say that I only saw nets getting used twice and that was after I hit 150-feet. I came up with a new goal and that was to see if I could hit 200-feet and then head south and fish my way to Two Harbors. When I hit 176 I made the mistake of cutting one of my lines with my paddle and had plenty of work to do and made the choice that close to 3-miles from shore was good enough. I did not realize that I was so far from town, maybe seven miles, when I started heading back at ten and I had been paddling for 5.5 hours. The sun was hot, the flies were biting, and the salmon were not. My body performed really well, and I did not even have to take any aspirin but when I hit the landing at 2 p.m. I was done in and there were storms on the way which did happen. Over 22-hours I paddled for 16 and never gave up hope and slept on a really small but cool beach. The elusive salmon from a canoe did not happen on this adventure but I will be back next year if I think my body can handle it and fear does not overcome desire! Sunset.

OBITUARIES
Kenneth Duane Pederson Kenneth Duane Pederson passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday June 24, 2020. Kenneth was born in La Crosse on April 6, 1952 as the sixth child of nine to Arnold and Arlene (Sanden) Pederson. Ken was raised i Peterson, Minn., with his in p parents and his four brothe and four sisters. He graders u uated from Peterson High S School in 1970. Some of his f favorite stories were from p playing football, basketball a running track in high and s school and he enjoyed telling s stories of the shenanigans h and his dear high school he b buddies would participate in. Ken married Jacalyn Sue R Ruschmann on December 11, 1971 in Peterson. Ken and Jackie lived in Peterson and then moved to Hollandale, Minn., in 1977 where they lived until moving to Albert Lea, Minn., in 1995. In 2009 Ken and Jackie bought Grandview Resort in Kabetogama, Minn., where their family had vacationed for many years. One of Ken’s greatest joys was owning this resort where the family had vacationed for years and running the business with his beloved son Jordan. Ken and Jackie had a home in Maplewood, Minn., for several years, and in 2017 they bought a retirement home in Voyager Village in Danbury. Ken began working in telecommunications with his father in 1970 and continued his career with Contel, GTE and finally, Frontier Communications. Ken served as the president of his local IBEW during his service to the phone company and was a respected member of the union for his entire career. Ken made many dear friends during his time working for the phone company and enjoyed getting to know everyone in the small communities around Hollandale and Clarks Grove. His kids and most anyone who knew him will tell you that there was nothing Ken could not fix. He loved to learn, to tinker, and to solve mechanical problems. Ken loved the game of golf, loved deer hunting and loved fishing. He was an outdoorsman to the core and spent a great deal of time camping and canoeing with family and friends. Ken’s greatest joy in life and the light of his universe was his wife Jackie. Together they raised a family and created for their children a home filled with laughter, with love and with loyalty. They were each other’s biggest fans and each other’s very best friends. No matter what, they were united in their love for each other. There was a gentle way that Ken would listen to Jackie and his deep respect and honor of her was evident in every day they had in their 47 years of marriage. His care of Jackie when she was ill was his love shining

through like none other- he was devoted to caring for her and comforting her each moment. Ken’s youngest daughter Annika was his pride and joy from the moment she was born and he had a special nickname for her- she was his “Princess”. He was proud of the work she was doing with persons with dementia and Alzheimer’s and he loved her fiercely. He was incredibly proud of his grandsons Ethan and Isaac. He never missed a chance to see them swim, play football, wrestle, play baseball and run track. There was a special light in his eyes when he spoke about these boys and his pride in the accomplishments they were achieving. He loved to golf with them, he loved to tell them jokes, and to teach them about fixing things and how things worked. He and Ethan shared a love of the Green Bay Packers and he and Isaac shared a love of the game of golf. He spoke daily on the phone to his daughter Lisa to hear the latest stories of the boys who he adored. There was never a pet that Ken would say no to letting his kids have and throughout the years spent countless hours caring for them. His best canine friend arrived by the name of Rudy on his daughter Annika’s birthday and he and Rudy spent many years together. He passed on a love of animals to his children- most especially dogs- and he loved to complain about his kids coming to visit with a pack of dogs, but he also loved them dearly and took special pride in their learned reverence of animals. Ken was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Wayne Pederson, and his one true love- his wife, Jacalyn. Ken is survived by his brothers Larry (Jane) Pederson, Bob Pederson, Keith (JoAnn) Pederson, and his sisters Dorothy Evans, Faye Lowry, Lori (Fran) Peterson and Carol Moore. And by sister in law, Karen (Mark) Sprint. He is also survived by daughter Diana Hurn, daughter Lisa Pederson, son Jordan Pederson and daughter Annika Pederson. And he is survived by grandchildren Devon, Dominick, Justice and Kierra Hurn and Ethan and Isaac VanderWaerdt, and by three great grandchildren. His family thanks their father’s incredible community from near and far for their support, their love and their help through this journey of loss. They especially thank Gregg and Denise VanderWaerdt, Robin Ayling and Tom Rieman, Dawn Friend and many special members of the golf community at Voyager Village. Ken’s legacy was one that is built on relationships, kindness, compassion and love. His spirit will live on in all of us through these principles. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Rochester Mayo High School Football Program Touchdown Club in Ken’s name at the following link, https://www. 4giving.com/donation/263F. A celebration of life will be held at later date. Arrangements were entrusted to Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home, Webster.

911 calls almost doubled since Feb. JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR
Burnett County dispatch have been receiving more and more emergency calls with the amount of calls for firetrucks and emergency response almost doubling since February. February is seen as the last normal month before the COVID-19 virus prompted state officials to sign a safer at home order which closed countless bars, restaurants and other businesses for almost two months. Burnett County Sheriff Tracy Finch said she was surprised by the increase. She said in February there were 434 calls and 722 in June. These are just 911 calls and does not include all the other calls that come into the dispatch center. “Especially with the pandemic it’s surprising that 911 calls have almost doubled,” Finch told the
Public Safety committee last week. “I’m a little afraid if these numbers keep going up and up.” Supervisor Gary Lundberg questioned if the calls were truly emergencies. Finch countered saying, “Yes, these are people in need of help from fire or another emergency.” The conversation shifted to a potential spike of cases across the state over the Fourth of July weekend. Deputy Sheriff Jameson Wiltrout said the department along with Siren PD and other law enforcement agencies are preparing for upwards of 10,000 people coming to Siren for their parade. HOSTAGE SITUATION Finch also gave a brief update on the hostage situation that was handled in June in Danbury. “There was a young man lying on the road,” Finch said. The 16-year-old male suspect was
helped into the car and then “basically took over the car.” Dispatch was able to keep the victim on the line, who was able to call 911 during the situation. “The suspect said he had a gun and a knife,” Finch said. When law enforcement arrived on the scene the suspect exited the vehicle and his hands were not in plain sight. Lundberg said the guy should be lucky he was not shot and killed. “He’s extremely lucky he did not get shot,” Finch concluded. NEW K-9 UPDATE Sheriff Deputy Bailey Mangen has been named the new K-9 handler. Finch said the department’s second K-9 is set to arrive in mid-August with training starting shortly after that.

We are one human race Every man and every woman who has ever lived is a descendant from Adam, who God formed from the dust of the earth. God formed Eve from one of Adam’s ribs, and every human being thereafter is inextricably linked to our parents of the entire human race, Adam and Eve. As the human race survived the global flood of Noah’s time (God spared the lives of only eight people!), the earth’s population once again grew. “The whole earth had one language and the same words” (Genesis 11:1). In human dependency and self-sufficiency, man once again failed to populate the whole earth, so God confused their language and dispersed them “over the face of all the earth” (Genesis 11:8). This historical event is widely known as The Tower of Babel.
Before The Tower of Babel, humanity shared the same language and the same genetic traits; there was a common gene pool. As people scattered throughout the Earth, specific genes for specific appearances became isolated in separate people groups. Particular traits became dominate in particular people groups, which were different and diverse compared to people groups residing in other areas of the world. Over time, distinct races developed, which were not the result of new genetic information but the sorting of pre-existing genetic information. In His creativity, God demonstrates beautiful and vast diversity! Bruce Malone & Julie Von Vett explain, “Let us take skin color as an example. Relatively small groups of migrating people would not have carried the same

broad range of skin color as the original larger group. One group may have had “darker” genes, while the other “lighter” genes. These small groups would marry within their own language group. As these small groups moved away from Babel, they encountered different climate zones. When we isolate people groups, certain characteristics become more prominent. In reality – and thus the amazing oneness we all share as a human race made in the image of our creator – there is no such thing as different “races” of people. We are all descendants of Adam and Eve and all are equally worthy, valuable, and precious in the sight of our amazing savior and Lord, Jesus Christ! - Pastor George Selbher, Grace Baptist
