150 years in service of Christ celebrated JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

GRANTSBURG––The church was filled with old and young, people who came from down the street in Grantsburg and others from great distances for a celebration. They gathered as one congregation to enjoy each other’s company and to mark

the momentous occasion.

“Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before,” Peter Johnson said to the congregation as they entered the sanctuary.

Grace Baptist Church turned 150 years old over the weekend.

Motorcycle versus deer collision turns fatal On August 6, 2019 at 11:30 a.m., the Polk County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a reported crash involving a Motorcycle striking a deer on State Highway 87 approximately 600 feet south of 210th Ave, in the town of Eureka.

Upon Deputies arrival, they learned that Anthony Lewsader, 50 years old, from North St. Paul Minn., was operating a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle north bound on Highway 87. At that time he was riding with a friend who indicated that he observed the deer walking out of the east ditch, however, did not believe that Anthony had observed the deer until it was in the roadway.

Upon noticing the deer in the roadway, Anthony Lewsader applied the brakes to the point of leaving skid marks. Anthony Lewsader was unable to avoid the deer and they struck. Anthony was thrown from the motorcycle and both continued to the north, tumbling on the pavement. Anthony Lewsader came to rest in the roadway and had suffered injuries to his head and was not wearing a helmet.

Based on the extent of the injuries, Anthony Lewsader was airlifted from the scene by the Life Link air ambulance and transported to Regions Hospital in St Paul, Minn. Anthony succumbed to the injuries sustained in the crash and passed away.

Assisting the Sheriff’s Office with this crash was the Cushing Fire Department and First Responders, Lakes Area EMS, and the Life Link Air Ambulance.

Are you sure this table is regulation size?

I

t’s August and that means summer is winding down. I try not to complain in this sliver of the paper but I’m taking a stand here. I am sick and tired of people saying that summer is over as soon as we change the calendar from July.

Why can’t we just enjoy the moment? Get out and enjoy the rest of the summer because we’re all going to be complaining about the weather soon.

As I mentioned last week, I used to be a fantastic athlete. The key there being “used to be.” My prime in athletics has passed me by.

This was made clear to me as I played against some of Webster’s finest ping pong players.

Over the weekend, I was working at Gandy Dancer Days. Friday the Webster Ping Pong group had open Sentinel play at the Webster Community Center for a few hours. I was there Editor to take a couple of photos.

Jonathan Richie I was taking my photos when they asked if I wanted to play a game. I thought “sure, I know how this game works and I am much younger than these other people so this should be a breeze.”

I was wrong.

My partner and I lost both games. They were very nice to me, especially after beating me.

At this point I played the card that all people who are no good at sports use. Blame the equipment.

“Are you sure this table is regulation size?” I asked. “The tables I usually play on are about three inches longer and that one definitely would’ve been a point for us.”

Like most things in life, I could always use a few more inches.

At one point during the game the ball was set up perfectly for me and I was going to smash it. I would earn the point and show my dominance over my opponents. At the last moment I changed my mind in fear of pulling a bicep or my triceps.

If you’ve got time during the week be sure to check out the ping pong group. They’re good and if you’re out of practice they will mop the floor with you. However, they will be really, really nice about it.

Don’t feel shame when you start losing because one of them will point out, “we play three times a week.” Once again showing dominance over me.

And finally, shout out to all the farmers in Burnett County. The corn looks great. I grew up in the city and do not know much of anything about farming. However, I do know the phrase - knee high by the Fourth of July. You may have noticed the corn did not seem to be knee high around Independence Day. Again, not an expert and I understand there is a different late season seed that farmers used.

Anyway, my point remains the same - The corn looks great.

Gotta question? Gotta tip? It’s easy to contact me, give me a call at 715-463-2341 or shoot me an email editor@burnettcountysentinel.com.

he way we communicate with each other is constantly changing. With advances in technology, it seems as if our machines are somehow reading our minds and presenting advertisements for products or services that we have been thinking about.

The machines aren’t reading our minds, software has been paying attention to what From the Publisher’s you look at.

My late father Desk Arved, (aka “The Chief”) worked Tom Stangl on cars and often ld me “machines “ hi told are stupid, they only know what you tell them.”

The Chief wouldn’t understand the internet, but he would totally get the plumbing.

I recently saw “The Big Hack,” a documentary on Netflix. The two-hour film sought to explain how users of the internet and social media have been handing over personal information to firms who use the data to influence all sorts of behavior through manipulation.

Specifically, the film targeted Cambridge Analytica (CA), a data firm used by political parties all over the planet to influence elections. You might recall the company (now closed and bankrupt)

got into trouble for misusing data purchased from Facebook. The firm helped Brexit supporters and was seen as key in the election of President Trump. Another branch of the company worked with governments to defeat the Taliban.

According to the documentary, CA collected thousands of “data points” on individuals, based largely on information volunteered by social media users. The film refers to psychological profiles created from personality “quizzes” that are popular on Facebook as a source of information.

After these data points are collected, campaigns identify people who can be persuaded and create targeted ads that appear in the news feeds on Facebook. The filmmakers make the case that “the persuadables” were targeted to vote one way — or not to vote at all.

A case can and should be made that people still have free will and individuals are ultimately responsible for their own actions (or lack thereof), but the film made it sound like enough people (70,000 voters in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio) were swayed to get the president elected.

A subplot of the movie followed Professor David Carroll fighting to get his data back from Cambridge Analytica. Carroll wasn’t successful in his quest before CA went bankrupt.

The film tackles some complex topics, but it is apparent that we are paying a high price for the use of free programs like Facebook and even the search giant Google. The currency that we are using is our privacy and identity, which have been high dollar commodities for some time, bought and sold with our implied consent. (At least I think that’s what the 24-page user agreement says, right?)

Pundits have argued that these giant tech firms need to be regulated or dismantled. After watching the movie, I have to agree. If a person can’t get a copy of the data that was “given” to Facebook and Google, something is indeed wrong.

The more we choose to have virtual interactions instead of meeting and talking with others in real life, the more susceptible we will be to manipulation. As we strive to become more enlightened, we become the stupid machines the Chief railed against, only knowing what we are told.

We need to wake up to the price we are paying to be manipulated before it is too late.

Alarmist? Maybe. No one ever said democracy would be easy.

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

FISCAL FACTS

Groups spend $17.8M lobbying during first half of 2019

Groups spent $17.8 million lobbying in Wisconsin during the first six months of 2019, a dip from the previous budget cycle as divided government returned to the Capitol for the first time in more than a decade.

Still, the biggest three spenders for the six-month period all spent slightly more compared to two years ago.

The Wisconsin Hospital Association topped the list for most spending during the six-month period at $430,138, followed by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce at $414,184 and Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin at $384,479.

WHA President and CEO Eric Borgerding said it was a “pretty intense budget process” for his group as most of its effort focused on the Medicaid program.

WHA spending was up Eric Borgerding $101,670, nearWHA President and CEO ly 31 percent, compared to the same period two years ago as the group got behind Gov. Tony Evers’ proposal to accept federal money to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Though GOP lawmakers rejected that approach, Borgerding said WHA’s goal was to persuade Republicans to embrace as many other Evers Medicaid provisions as possible.

Evers’ plan would’ve freed up $324 million in state money while drawing down federal dollars to invest in health care programs.

Instead, Republicans invested an additional $588.2 million in general-purpose revenue into Medicaid to accomplish goals such as increasing

‘It was a “pretty intense budget process” for his group as most of its effort focused on the Medicaid program.’

reimbursement rates for health care providers.

“You had obviously a much more divided process this time,” Borgerding said. “That took a heck of a lot of time and effort to try and move the ball forward on Medicaid one way or another. It was a much different process.”

Lobbying reports covering the first six months of the year were due July 31, and as of noon Aug. 2, groups had reported to the Ethics Commission putting in more than 114,000 hours lobbying during the period. By comparison, groups dropped $18.6 million and 119,878 hours over the first six months of 2017 as Republicans became locked in a budget stalemate that dragged into September.

Over the past 14 years, spending peaked at $23.9 million in the first half of 2011 as the fight over Gov. Scott Walker’s Act 10 and his first budget raged. That topped the $20.5 million spent in the first half of 2009 as Dems enjoyed control of the governor’s office and full Legislature for the first time since the mid-1980s.

Lobbying expenses dropped then to nearly $17 million in the first half of 2017 and had been steadily climbing until the most recent six-month period.

The dip in spending from the previous budget cycle also comes as the pace of new laws has slowed dramatically compared to recent sessions. Just eight bills became law

by June 30 of this year, compared to an average of nearly 26 over the previous decade.

WMC’s Scott Manley said the group’s focus during the first six months of 2019 was largely on opposing provisions in the governor’s budget.

That included the proposal Evers included that would’ve required property to be valued at its highest and best use to address the so-called “dark store” loophole. WMC has opposed such efforts, arguing they

amount to a tax hike on businesses.

That accounted for 13 percent of its effort during the six-month period, as did seeking a fee schedule for the worker’s compensation program and beefing up workforce development.

The majority of the WMC’s work was categorized as minor efforts, each of which amounts to less than 10 percent of a group’s overall work.

“The threats to the business community that were in the governor’s budget sort of changed the focus of our advocacy,” Manley said.

Marsy’s Law put all its effort into a constitutional amendment to add rights for crime victims, as it did last session. Even though it ranked in the top three for dollars spent, the group’s 274 hours lobbying were well behind WMC’s 2,518 and WHA’s 2,197. Instead, the group’s efforts have largely gone to a paid media campaign that included radio and digital ads.

Under state law, paid advertising has to be included in reported expenses if it’s done to urge the public to push lawmakers on a legislative or administrative action.

Improving access to child care for low-income families in Wisconsin For increasing numbers of low-income families, Wisconsin’s child care subsidy program falls short of providing affordable care. This means a greater share of families participating in the Wisconsin Shares child care program have had to shoulder added financial responsibility for their children’s care.

In 2006, families qualifying for Wisconsin Shares could access 75 percent of the child care slots without contributing more than their family’s expected copay. By 2017, that share had fallen to 15 percent.

Qualifying families, generally those with income up to 185 percent of the federal poverty level, who participate in Wisconsin Shares receive a debit card to pay their child care provider. The amount that is loaded onto each card depends on factors including family size, household income, and place of residence.

The federal grant program that provides some Wisconsin Shares funding recommends setting reimbursement levels so that families receiving a subsidy can access 75 percent of child care slots — although as of 2016, a national study found that only one state did so. The state Department of Children and Families, which oversees Wisconsin Shares, recently received a letter from the federal government warning the program is not complying with the conditions of the grant. It warned the state could face a penalty if it does not raise its maximum reimbursement rates so at least 25 percent of slots are considered accessible.

The governor’s proposal was intended to raise the share of slots considered affordable to 50 percent. Lawmakers put forward their own plan, included in the final version of the state budget, to raise the share of affordable slots by a smaller amount. While the new budget provides some relief for Wisconsin Shares families, and in the short term allows the state to meet the 25th percentile federal standard, it falls well short of the 50th percentile objective proposed by the governor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR The hog CAFO is as much like a farm as a glass of drinking water is like a flood Dear Editor, To say that people who oppose the proposed hog CAFO in Trade Lake are against farmers, is like saying people who hate floods, are against water. The hog CAFO is as much like a farm as a glass of drinking water is like a flood.

The proposed CAFO is a factory, run by a corporation, that has no interest in our area, aside from making money for the owners of the company. The employment opportunities offered will be limited to a few low paying, unskilled jobs performed in conditions detrimental to the worker’s health.

A family farm, be it big or small, is not an entity designed to make money for a third party. It is a business that has an interest in community and is not concerned

with only the bottom line.

Many pro CAFO people argue there is already a CAFO in Burnett county, why not another.

Certainly, by definition the Four Cubs Farm is a CAFO. However, this CAFO evolved naturally from a family farm. It is run with integrity by a family with deep roots in the county. It is an operation that the area can be proud of. The annual Dairy Breakfast is hosted by the farm and is enjoyed by hundreds of people. It is hard to imagine a dairy breakfast being hosted by the proposed CAFO or pointing with pride to the factory hog farm.

A previous letter stated that farmers should be able to do with their land what they wish. This

totally ignores the fact that one person’s rights end where another’s rights begin. If the proposed CAFO can guarantee that no odors or waste products will affect the people in the township or county, indeed they have a right to do what they want.

The most precious resources in Northwest Wisconsin are our clean air and water. Why we would allow anything to threaten those resources is beyond comprehension. It is the responsibility of our generation to leave them the legacy of clean air they can breathe and safe water they can drink.

Drug busts are rising, board discusses grant money

Siren Native supports the National Defense Strategy in Pearl Harbor PEARL HARBOR––Siren native and 2003 Siren High School graduate is serving in the U.S. Navy at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH).

Petty Officer 3rd Class Simon Smith serves as a Navy ship’s serviceman currently assigned to the JBPHH Transient Personnel Unit in the U.S. Pacific Fleet area of operations. The U.S. Pacific Fleet is the world’s largest fleet command, encompassing 100 million square miles, nearly half the Earth’s surface, from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle and from the West Coast of the United States into the Indian Ocean.

As a Navy ship’s serviceman, Smith is responsible for managing goods and services on the ship and ensuring health and comfort standards are up to par.

Smith credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned in Siren.

“My hometown has provided me the tools and ethics I needed to be successful,” said Smith. “Those skills have given me the experience necessary to set myself up for success later on in life.”

A key element of the Navy the nation needs is tied to the fact that America is a maritime nation, according to Navy officials, and that the nation’s prosperity is tied to the ability to operate freely on the world’s oceans. More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water; 80 percent of the world’s population lives close to a coast; and 90 percent of all global trade by volume travels by sea.

Being stationed in Pearl Harbor, often referred to as the gateway to the Pacific in defense circles, means Smith is serving in a part of the world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strength-

ening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy.

“Our priorities center on people, capabilities and processes, and will be achieved by our focus on speed, value, results and partnerships,” said Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer. “Readiness, lethality and modernization are the requirements driving these priorities.”

The Pacific is home to more than 50 percent of the world’s population, many of the world’s largest and smallest economies, several of the world’s largest militaries, and many U.S. allies. The Navy has been pivotal in helping maintain peace and stability in the Pacific region for decades.

Though there are many ways for sailors to earn distinction in their command, community, and career, Smith is most proud of earning a second Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.

“I received this by going above and beyond my duties and responsibilities at my job,” said Smith. “I put

the needs of others first, so it meant a lot to have people tell me I made a difference to their experience.”

Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Smith, who has military ties with family members who have previously served. Smith is honored to carry on that family tradition.

“I am the 12th person in my family to serve in the military,” said Smith. “We started serving going back to World War I, and I am the 10th to serve in the Navy.”

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied-upon assets, Smith and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs.

“My grandfather served at Pearl Harbor during World War II, so I’ve enjoyed learning more about the history of this base,” added Smith.

“Serving in the Navy means putting the needs of the many ahead of your own and humbling yourself to follow orders for the betterment of the country.”

SIREN––During Siren’s Village Board meeting on August 8, Chief of Police, Chris Sybers, had only good news to tell during the police report and there was an update given on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Pedestrian Trail.

Chief Sybers started off by saying that the police department has been very busy, and they have received three grants, totaling $9,000. One of the grants was from Polk-Burnett Electrical Cooperative for $1,000 and that money will be used for new computers and printers in the police cars.

Sybers brought up the fact that the police department has been very active with their drug warrants. He said, “Bad people are noticing that we are paying attention and we’re putting them in jail.” They had 17 arrests during the month of July and most of them were for drug related issues.

“It’s not just us, it’s the county, Webster P.D., every department in this county, we are all working on this. We’re all doing search warrants together.” Sybers stated that the law enforcement in the county is now doing a much better job communicating and working together on arrests, cases and warrants. President, Dave Alden, said, “It is noticeably different than it was two or three years ago.”

When it came to discussing the CDBG, Alden said that they were approved for the $1,000,000 grant to go towards the Pedestrian Trail in Siren. Teresa Anderson was at the meeting for MSA and said that within the next few weeks they should start seeing surveyors out on the streets getting measurements for the new sidewalk trail which will go from Best Western by the stoplights to Clear Lake. It will also be going to the school and the senior center.

Anderson said that by the end of September, the surveying will be done and they should have the basic layout taken care of. From there, they will then be taking care of the actual design.

Bidding for the sidewalk should start in the spring of 2020 and when the project actually begins, it will take two and a half to three months to complete. She will continue to keep the board members posted on the progress of the Pedestrian Trail.

Luther Point Bible camp responds to criticism Camp raises money from annual quilt auction SUZANNE VITALE SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG––This hasn’t been a fun week at Luther Point Bible Camp. Misguided rumors about the camp hosting Muslims have rattled the camp’s leadership.

The camp has received many negative letters and been targeted in multiple Facebook posts because of an upcoming retreat for the Muslim American Society of Minnesota.

Some online posts have told the camp to take the cross out of its logo and condemned it for hosting people who are not Christian. An article, published by the Inter-County Leader, filled with untruths and inaccuracies further stoked tensions. It has been shared over 180 times and got responses from groups across the country.

Jan Hermann, president of Luther Point’s board of directors, said groups and online comments scare her and the accusations against the camp make her very sad. “It hurts my servant heart,� she said. “I think about the ministries that we work and want to promote. To have hate taint any of that, it hurts.�

Sam Campeau, Luther Point’s executive director, said the camp’s board voted 20 years ago to allow the Minnesota group to host an annual retreat at the camp. He said the board remains united in its support. One member has even flown missions in Afghanistan, and he is adamantly in favor of continuing the camp’s relationship with the Minnesota Muslim organization.

Campeau said the camp fears what extremists might do in light of the article. “The Muslim American Society is going to have to hire private security because of this article now,� he said.

In a public letter responding to the controversy, Campeau and Hermann wrote that by hosting the Muslim retreat, Luther Point is “showing God’s love for our neighbors, providing Christian hospitality and a safe space and time for the Holy Spirit to work.’’ The Muslim American Society of Minnesota began using Luther Point off and on 19 years ago. For the past five or six years, the group has come annually for family camps and retreats. Campeau said the camps are much like every other camp at Luther Point: The kids love to fish and boat and “were very excited about s’mores.�

He said the group respects the camp and recognizes it as a spiritual, sacred place. They never take down or cover up Jan Hermann & Sam Luther Point’s crosses or other Campeau religious symbols.

Luther Point Bible Camp “I have been present for their calls to prayer,� Campeau said. “It’s very calming and spiritual.�

Jay Ticknor, pastor of Bethany Lutheran Church in Grantsburg, is frustrated that misinformation about the camp at Luther Point has “blown up all out of proportion’’ in response to the article. “Like so many things, it blows up so quickly with bad information,� Ticknor said. He added, emails and Facebook posts share untruths quickly.

What sparked the current controversy was a Facebook post inviting people to an upcoming retreat called the “2019 Midwest Tarbiya and Activism Camp.� The unfamiliar words ignited fear and hatred among some in the community. None of the letters contained threats, but the camp did contact the Burnett County sheriff to let her know what is going on.

One woman wrote that the camp had become a “devil’s arena.�

The article, which has since been pulled and highly edited when re-posted, pointed to disturbing videos posted from a May incident in Philadelphia. It showed children singing a song containing explicit lyrics.

‘Luther Point is “showing God’s love for our neighbors, providing Christian hospitality and a safe space and time for the Holy Spirit to work.’

SUZANNE VITALE

Bishop Laurie Skow-Anderson, center, came to the quilt auction to show her strong support for Sam Campeau, Luther Point executive director, and Jan Hermann, the camp’s board president.

Skow-Anderson was present in Milwaukee last week during the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s annual Churchwide Assembly. She said 97 percent of delegates voted in favor of a policy for inter-religious cooperation among all religions, Jews and Muslims in particular.

SUZANNE VITALE

Two visitors look over the quilts at Luther Point’s annual quilt auction Sunday. About 150 people attended the event, which raised about $17,000 for the Grantsburg Bible camp.

After investigating what happened, the Muslim American Society’s national organization in Washington swiftly condemned the disturbing video and determined that a school organized the event and rented space from the MAS Philadelphia group. The school fired the person in charge of the program, and MAS itself adopted measures to make sure that groups renting its property will never again be able to host such an event. “MAS’ deep commitment to values of peace, justice, freedom and sanctity of life are clear,� the national group said. “As a faith-based organization committed to building a just and virtuous society, we stand strong in our condemnation of hate and violence anywhere, even in the lyrics of a song.�

The website article from the Leader also alluded to a Wisconsin camp that hosted a Chicago Muslim group in 2003. The article implied that this camp was Luther Point. Campeau said Luther Point has never rented space to the Muslim American Society, Chicago. “The Chicago Tribune article written in 2004 and used as a source for the article written by Eddie Emerson for the Inter-County Leader does not site Luther Point as the location,� Campeau said. “Eddie Emerson implies this is the case, but there are no facts supporting this.�

The Muslim American Society of Minnesota denounces radicalization of all forms, said Imam Asad Zaman, the group’s executive director. He said no member of his organization has ever been radicalized.

Zaman said, “the mere act of teaching Islam� fights against radicalization. Islam simply does not allow it, and MAS makes that clear in its education programs.

Zaman, who gave the opening prayer for the 2017 session of the Minnesota Legislature, said the society and its member mosques put a lot of energy into com-

batting white nationalism. “The best way for people to understand each other is to interact with each other,� he said.

The group seeks to build understanding so that people don’t “otherize� Muslims.

Zaman said his members love Luther Point because the staff is very friendly and the camp has so many activities to enjoy.

He said the society has held the Tarbiya and Activism camp twice before at Luther Point in 2014 and 2015. Tarbiya is the Arabic word for “education,� and the Activism portion of the title refers to being physically active through sports, spiritually active in their faith and socially active as citizens in our democracy. “I don’t know why when Muslims do mundane things, they become a big deal,� he said.

The camp consists of morning exercise, lectures, meals and prayer. Zaman said the family camp is very laidback and relaxing. The youth camp is much more rigorous, with a lot of exercise, hiking and climbing the ropes course.

Though Zaman has never been to a Lutheran youth camp, he said he doesn’t think it would be much different. The goal is the same. “We want them to be rejuvenated in their spirituality after five days of camp,� he said.

The upcoming retreat is intended for young people ages 18 to 28. He said people in this age group tend to need more grounding in their faith.

Campeau and Hermann, Luther Point’s executives, wrote that “by welcoming our Muslim brothers and sisters to rent the facilities at Luther Point Bible Camp, we are living (Jesus’) commandment to love one another.�

Boating issues within the county and an update on Devils Lake KAYLA CASEY, SENTINEL STAFF

At the Natural Resources Committee meeting on August 8, Greg Chafer was there to speak about some boating issues in the county and Jake Nichols was there to give the committee an update on the Devil’s Lake Project.

Chafer, the new sheriff’s office recreational officer, stated the DNR is having an issue on Birch Island with people not decontaminating their boats. They have 30 letters to send out giving specific boaters a warning and that if they commit the same offense of not decontaminating their boat again, they will receive a citation. The people that are not decontaminating their boats are mostly residents.

Chafer recommends that a mixture of 2 Tbsp of bleach per gallon of water is the best solution for decontaminating your boats. The solution will not ruin the gel coats on the boats. It is best to create the mixture in front of the boat monitors at

the landings. “As long as the boat monitors see them mix it and spray it, that’s just as good as using ours.�

Another issue they have been having with boaters is powerboating. Chafer said he would like to see a county ordinance passed for powerboating. “I’ll be honest, a lot of other counties have it. It’s going to save money.� The Natural Resources Committee agreed that it is something that should definitely be brought up and passed in the future.

Nichols, the Burnett County Forest Administrator, spoke about the Devils Lake project. Last month CBS Squared had come up with an estimate for the Devils Lake project. They created two different estimates.

One estimate had the option to build the new wall fully of sheet pile while the other estimate had the option to build the wall with both sheet pile and rip rap. Both estimates include a new vault

restroom, new asphalt, beam guard, a pedestrian ramp down to the beach, a new boat ramp and boat ramp prep. The full sheet pile wall estimate was $474,060 while the sheet pile/rip rap estimate was $302,241.60.

Nichols said that their number one priority is to take care of the wall first and foremost- he does not think that the wall will hold out for another year. He said that he believes fully sheet piling the wall will last the longest versus using rip rap on a portion of the wall. They will be writing a 50 percent cost sharing grant to Stewardship, no matter which option the committee chooses to go with, and that is due May 1, so they have a little more time to figure out exactly what they want to do with the project. He said at a bare minimal, they should be doing a full sheet pile wall with new asphalt because that’s their main problem.

As for the bathroom, they do have a little money left over to do some little repairs that are needed before the end of

Wald sworn in, board discusses smoking room JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

GRANTSBURG––Dan Wald was sworn in as the new Chief of Police of Grantsburg Monday night. Village officials discussed a number of topics including enforcing smoking room rules.

Wald was promoted from officer earlier this month after former Chief Jeff Schinzing announced his retirement. He came to the meeting with information regarding rules for smoking rooms.

Last month, village president Mike Longhenry said he had received numerous complaints about the smoking room and people drinking on the sidewalk.

The smoking room in question was a new addition to Denny’s Downtown Lanes.

Dennis McKenzie told the village board in July he had not intended on breaking the law when opening up the new smoking room.

The board brought up that Denny’s now has a sign outside another entrance stating it is the main entrance.

Longhenry said the sign is too small and can barely be read.

Village trustee Russ Stone described the room as, “them thumbing their nose at the law.�

Wald explained that individuals can be fined for smoking inside and there is a potential fine of $100 a day.

The next step for the village will be Wald speaking with McKenzie about his intentions with the smoking room.

He continued to explain he still expects to expand the event next year to include more music. “The racing crowd is getting smaller and we want to get more of a music festival crowd to show up that weekend,� Quimby said.

Next year’s Watercross will take place July 17-19.

the year. They will be re-shingling and adding new soffits and fascia.

When the committee asked about the cost of tearing down the old wall, Nichols said that it was not included in either of the estimates. He brought up that also not included in the estimate was that whatever they decided to do, an engineer has to be the one to do it, so there will also be the cost of engineering. He estimated that the tear down would cost around $25,000 while the engineering cost may be around $20,000. If the committee looks at doing just the wall, asphalt and beam guard the project would cost approximately $293,000. That is not addressing the boat landing.

Because there is more information to figure out when it comes to the estimates and there is no fully developed plan yet, the committee gave Nichols the authority to move forward and figure out an actual plan. He will come back in the fall with full estimates and a plan for the grant writer.

Update on Grantsburg High School Gymnasium During the Grantsburg School Board meeting on Monday night, the board was given an update on the gymnasium floor in the High School. The new high school principal, Matt Haase, explained that the project is well underway.

The bleachers have been put up and they are going to be working on the sanding very soon. Haase said that the goal is to have the gym done by the first home volleyball game, but there was no way it will be done in time for volleyball to begin practicing. Volleyball will have to start their practices in the middle school gym.

Joshua Watt, new superintendent, said that everyone just needs to hope for low humidity so that the varnish dries quickly because it can take a week for it to cure after it is applied. “They have really been chipping away at the project and its been great.� He went on to say that he was impressed with how accurate the crew has been following their drawings and designs that they showed to the board earlier this year.

Although the construction crew has been really chipping away at the project, the project as a whole is nearly three weeks behind schedule. Watt said that the project is going to be pushing right up into the volleyball tournament, but that he hopes it will be completed. He has a plan B in works, just in case, but he says, “I think we’re still in good shape.�

The board was a little concerned about how far behind the project is, but board member Christine Erickson stated that she rather have the project done right versus hurrying up to get the gym finished by a deadline.

IN OTHER ITEMS: Four new welding hoods have been installed in the high school’s welding room which adds safety for the students and teachers in the tech ed classrooms.

More security cameras are being placed around the school for added security and safety. These cameras give improved views of the entrances.

Since ancient times, humans have had a close association with clay. From use as a building material for the pyramids, as pottery for storing water, oil and wine to treating digestive ailments and a plethora of industrial uses, clay was, and is, a key ingredient in the material world we live in.

So we in the 21st century can appreciate clay and the potter’s art, Wisconsin’s Northwest Heritage Passage, a Spooner, Wisconsin-based non-profit organization that operates the Arts in Hand gallery, is stagiing “Clay Day – Potters in the Park,” a community event on Saturday, August 17, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown Spooner.

POTTERY ARTISTS WILL DEMO AND TEACH “Our goal for this event is to celebrate the art of pottery and promote pottery artists,” said Sandy Mackie, a member of the event planning committee.

She added, “Part of our organization’s mission is to educate and connect the public to the creative economy in northwest Wisconsin.” The event consists of demonstrations, “make and take” activities and a potter’s contest to break a Guiness world record.

Booths will be set up in Centennial Park at the corner of Walnut and River Streets in downtown Spooner. Area potters will demonstrate their work with clay by sculpting, decorating, throwing

and pinching pots. [“Throwing” pots is the term used when potters create pieces from a lump of clay positioned on a flat round base with a pedestal called a “wheel” that rotates fast either by pressing a foot pedal or using electricity.

Several potters will take turns teaching on site, including Patti Fox, Emy Current, Rosemay Hultman, Mike Rigg, and Mary Kay Latzka . Each one-hour session will start with a 15-20-minute presentation followed by 30-40 minutes during which the professional potter will work with visitors who are invited to create a pottery piece of their own to take home. There will be a special children’s area for youngsters to create a piece of pottery.

MEAUX TO CHALLENGE WORLD RECORD The highlight of the day is the contest at 1:30 p.m. by local potter Richard Meaux, who will attempt to break the Guiness Book of World Records for the most pots thrown in an hour. The current record of 193 pots is held by Jim Calhoun of Phoenix, Arizona, set in March 2018. Meaux is already practicing in his Spooner studio. “What I figured is, I have to [throw] a pot every 15 seconds,” he said.

Meaux teaches art at a Northwest Wisconsin high school. He and his artist wife, Mary Kay Latzka, like to share their art with people. “We were

thinking of a way to draw attention to a hand-craft. I was going to do [the world record challenge] on my own last year, but I decided it was a way bigger project than I realized,” said Meaux, who’s been throwing pots for 45 years.

GUINESS REQUIRES STRICT GUIDELINES Taking on a world record with the Guiness organization is quite a process.

Meaux explained, “They want you to make sure it’s done out in public, that it’s video recorded – it’s going to take a lot of people to be involved. When the Clay Day idea came up, I volunteered to pitch in and help. Then [the planning committee] wanted something as a culmination of Clay Day to make it more interesting, so I said ‘Why don’t we do the World Record?’.”

Meaux will use an electric wheel.

Each piece of clay he uses must weigh 21 ounces. Volunteers will prepare and stack the clay in advance, lining them up on boards next to Meax’s wheel.

Judges will watch to ensure each pot is complete and meets Guiness size criteria.

Judging the Guiness contest are the Hon. Eugene D. Harrington, Washburn County Circuit Court, the Hon. J. Michael Bitney, Barron County Circuit Court, and Art Ganett, Purple Plum Pottery, Pepin, Wis. “We are really excited to bring this event to our community,” said Mackie.

Local Spooner artist, Richard Meaux, will attempt to break the current Guiness Book of World Records for the number of pots thrown in an hour at Clay Day event on August 17.

Smokey Bear’s 75th birthday on August 9 For 75 years, Smokey Bear has been protecting our forests and getting the word out about wildfire prevention. In honor of Smokey Bear’s 75th birthday on August 9, 2019, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is celebrating the nation’s favorite bear.

Don’t miss the fun activities and a chance to earn a Smokey birthday gift bag.

“Smokey Bear ranks right up there behind Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse,” says Catherine Koele, DNR wildfire prevention specialist. “Many of us remember Smokey from our childhoods. We’d see him in parades, on posters, in magazines or occasionally in TV commercials.If we were lucky enough, maybe he’d stop by the classroom and teach us about fire safety.”

The DNR is once again in the north building at Exploratory Park located on the south side of Main Street across from the Original Cream Puff Pavilion. If you can’t make it for his birthday, you are never too old to visit Smokey’s Schoolhouse throughout State Fair and learn about how to prevent wildfires. If you can’t get to the Fairgrounds, watch Smokey show off his dancing skills on the steps of the Capitol in a F.I.R.E video with Wisconsin firefighters as they sing happy birthday to the YMCA tune from the Village People.

To honor and observe this historic event, Gov. Tony Evers named August 9, 2019 ‘Smokey Bear’s 75th Birthday’ with an official Governor Proclamation recogniz-

Diphtheria in Burnett County Burnett County History KAYLA CASEY, NEWS@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

The Black Plague was a widespread epidemic that wiped out most of Europe, killing 25 million people.

Burnett County experienced its own black plague in the early 1900s. This plague was diphtheria.

Diphtheria hit Wisconsin in the 1880s and 90s. By 1891, Wisconsin hit its peak with the disease with over 3,600 cases being reported from Wisconsin to the State Board of Health. Of those 3,600 reported cases, more than 900 deaths occurred giving a mortality rate for the disease of 25 percent.

Burnett County was hit the hardest with diphtheria in approximately the year 1902. One particular family was hit the hardest- the family of Peter and Catherine Peterson.

On Dec. 15, 1902, their nine-year-old daughter, Minnie, had a very mild sore throat. Over the next few days her symptoms worsened. She developed thick greyish splotches in her throat that was obstructing her airway. They called in a child specialist from Grantsburg, Dr. Johnson. However, there was not much the doctor could do at the time. On Dec. 20, Minnie passed away of what they called malignant black diphtheria.

No more than two days later, the Peterson’s two sons and other daughter, Arthur age 13, Joseph age six and Mabel age three, complained that they were not feeling very well. Within the next few days, all three children also developed thick gray splotches in their throats, cutting off their airways. On Dec. 28, Joseph passed away. Dec. 29, Mabel passed away and Jan. 1, Arthur passed away. In only two weeks, the Petersons had lost four of their beloved children.

Another family- the family of Ida Daniel and Johanna Johnson- was hit hard as well. In less than a month they had lost two of their children as well. Ida, their three-year-old daughter and Conrad, their nine-yearold son.

One method that Burnett County and Wisconsin was using to try and contain the viral disease was quarantine. Everybody was very concerned with how contagious diphtheria was, and if any family had a sick family member, they did not want any of the family members to leave their household, sick or not.

They were not even allowed to leave their homes for public funerals.

It is not known what the origin of diphtheria was, but it was very contagious. The virus could be spread by contagious contact and unsanitary conditions.

Because the details of the disease were sketchy from the newspapers back then, it is not exactly known how many total deaths there were from diphtheria in the county.

SUBMITTED

A diphtheria quarantine poster that may have been placed on homes struck by the disease in the late 1800s.

SUBMITTED

A poster warning truck drivers about possible homes with diphtheria and other diseases and the importance of reporting the infected homes on their routes.

The information in this article was received from the Journey Through Time: Celebrating 150 Years of Life in Burnett County newspaper.

AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, This is the 9th year in a row that I have had something to do with running baits for black bear in Zone C in the northern Juneau, Wood, and Jackson Counties area.

To properly describe the scouting and long-term action of running of 6-9 bear baits is, expensive, time consuming, exhausting, frustrating, challenging, you donate lots of blood to mosquito’s, deer flies and ticks, and most importantly incredibly rewarding.

This year my life long buddy Doug Cibulka and I have are working together with the biggest challenge being getting the bear in our area to hit the baits in the day time and not after dark.

Sunday, July 20 High 85, low 56 Last night Doug and I had a late-night strategy session by a campfire and today we put about 70-miles on my truck, and several on our legs as we explored and thought about old baits and new ones. This part of Wisconsin has lots of bear, but the problem is that they hit the bait after dark.

Something that I have been writing about for three years and we realized again today is how much the water table is going up in this part of the world due to lots of rain and snow. Three of the gravel roads that I generally drive on are no longer open and it is very interesting to see how nature is taking back what was always hers.

STUMP GRINDING AND REMOVING 800-282-8103 • 715-417-0303

“SERVING YOUR AREA�

• Reliable • Professional • Insured • Free Estimates

Sunday, July 21 High 92, low 63 I put out four baits today under what was at first hot and humid conditions and ended up being two-inches of rain. On two of the occasions, I manhandled massive stumps which I could barely get in a wheel barrel, then broke the wheel barrel, and then rolled it a half a mile.

Why do I use stumps? The law is that you have to use a natural container for your bait, which in our case is granola that comes in a 55-gallon drum. Yesterday I purchased three drums for $200.

I cover each stump top and bottom with about a three-inchthick piece of a log that is generally about the size of a pizza. I then put the heaviest logs that I can handle on top of the stump and cover it.

This covering process helps keep out ravens, raccoon, squirrels, fisher, porcupine, wolf and just as importantly, rain. If you do not cover your bait, there will be no bait when a bear comes to it. If your bait is moldy due to moisture a bear will not return.

I put a trail camera about ten-feet away from the bait and the pictures can be incredible.

One of the logs I dragged over to a stump today was so heavy that I gave myself my 3rd black eye of the year due to the pressure I put on my face moving it.

Tuesday, August 5 High 87, low 53 Doug and I have six baits out and five of them are getting hit. Up to today I have not had a daytime pic-

ture. We do have at least two bears in the 400-pound range. A picture of a mother bobcat and her baby, several wolf pictures, a few porcupines and dozens of raccoons.

Today I was checking all the baits and it can be brutally physical due to carrying heavy loads long distances in very hot conditions while being consumed by deer flies and mosquitoes.

I have some new baits which are long hikes and one of them is a hotty. It has been hit every time since I put it out. Two nights ago, just before another storm (we had six inches of rain in five days) Doug and I put a camera on it and today there was a picture of a bear that may be in the 500-pound range.

Of course, it was in the dark, but hopefully that will change. At another bait, the one where I moved the stump and broke the wheel barrel, we had our first daytime picture of the year which was a good 350-pound bruin and it was about 45-minutes before dark.

So far, I have seen at least ten different bears in pictures but so far, no sows with cubs.

Some people think that baiting bear is unfair. Two years ago, I sat 19-nights and never saw a bear.

Five years ago, I sat 19 nights and never saw a bear. So far in my life I have harvested 7 black bear and I can honestly say that my big thrill is helping other hunters get their first bear and running baits.

Blood, sweat, and broke, that’s bear baiting! Sunset.

Prior to the service on Saturday members of the congregation met to share a meal across the street from the church, then the group made their way to the church, which broke ground in 1969. That building was full of photos and other historical artifacts dating back to the mid-1800s in Sweden.

HISTORY OF GRACE BAPTIST The beginnings of Grace Baptist date back to 1868 in Munktorp, Sweden when Gustaf Larson, Lars Anderson, Gustaf E. Erickson and Gustaf Anderson and their wives got on a train and traveled to Göteborg going through Köping.

From Göteborg they took a boat to England and eventually ended up in Liverpool.

The group sailed across the Atlantic Ocean arriving in Quebec in October of 1869 and then took a train to Chicago.

Next the men walked, yes walked, over 800 miles to Burnett County arriving in February 1869. That spring the wives arrived by train.

Some of the historical artifacts at the church last weekend included a trunk brought over on the trip that the itinerary was inscribed on. In that trunk was a Swedish communion set, offering baskets and a Swedish bible dating back another 100 years to 1769.

By June of 1869 the group organized themselves in the Canute Anderson School house.

From there, the Wood River Baptist Swedish Baptist Church was incorporated in August 1869. The church was completed by Christmas of 1870 at the intersection of Highway 70 and Williams Road. The church was later moved one mile north.

A few years later in 1884 the First Swedish Baptist Church was organized and in 1887 their church was built on W. Wisconsin Avenue. Both congregations worked together, including mission work. As they did more mission work over the years both churches dropped the name Swedish.

Although both congregations continued to pass down the Swedish customs and cuisines.

Then in 1963 church boards from Wood River and First Baptist Churches met to discuss the possibility of merging the two congregations under the leadership of Rev. Gordon Johnson. Later that year both congregations voted in favor of the merger. The next year the combined churches met and incorporated under the name

The groundbreaking was held in 1968 and the first services were held June 15, 1969.

SATURDAY SERVICE A video played outlining the history of Grace Baptist that highlighted every pastor from both churches up until Pastors Brad Moore and George Selbher who lead the congregation today. The video also included short video clips from 1969 of members of the congregation entering and leaving the church after the final service.

As the video continued there were more reaction from the congregation in attendance.

Funny photos were followed by loud laughter. Other photos from the past got big reactions as well. Many people were wrapped up in the nostalgia of the video.

After the video, microphones were passed around sanctuary for people to share memories from Grace Baptist. Those included stories of people connecting with God and continuing their education at Bethel University and becoming pastors. Other people remembered the youth pastor that was at the church when they were in their teenage years. One woman said that Grace Baptist was a great place for her during her childhood because of the hard times she had struggled with in school.

The service continued with Paul and Yvonne Bergman who read letters from former pastors who were unable to attend the anniversary service.

Then Russ Erickson introduced a video sent in by former Grace Baptist Pastor Delmar Dahl. Pastor Brad Moore led the congregation in a closing pray.

The evening concluded with deserts being served in the basement of the church.

Those programs included Friendship builders or Young Marrieds, a class for young couples and newlyweds, Graceful Seniors, a group organized in the 1970s who met monthly for potlucks or for coffee and treats, Feed My Sheep and Clothe My Sheep, the ministry started their own food distribution and warm clothes were donated to the church.

They held their first Mortgage burning in 1976, “it was a service in which we praised God for His Faithfulness to His people serving him.”

GMG (Girls Meeting God) was brought up a number of times. It was for girls from third grade to eighth grade held on Wednesday nights. The girls did Bible memorization and had Bible lessons led by

the ladies of the church. There was a similar program for boys called Boys Brigade.

The church sponsored countless other programs all rooted in serving Christ, spreading the word and helping the community.

One of the most prominent programs is the Grace Nursery School which was started in 1974 by Othelia Tyberg and continues today.

The video including the verse, “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” - Romans 10:14-15.

OBITUARIES

Elizabeth Cara Albrecht

Mary Beth Amundson

Jean Erickson Forsberg

Elizabeth “Ellie” Cara A Albrecht passed peacefully iinto God’s hands on Aug. 44, 2019 after a courageous b battle against cancer.

Ellie lived. 36 memorable y years… 13,177 travel-filled d days… 316,248 hours of llove, lessons and laughter…

118,974,880 precious minutes tthat made a lifetime of imp pact. She was born on June 228, 1983 and welcomed into the arms of her loving parents, Charlie and Shirley Albrecht. Ellie grew up in Northwestern Wisconsin, destined from early on to be a proud cheese-head and avid Packer-backer. She attended elementary school and high school in Webster and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in business and accounting at University of Wisconsin-River Falls. During college Ellie worked as a health information specialist at Vibrant Health Family Clinics. After graduation she spread her wings and moved to Las Vegas, where she worked as a project accountant, made many new friends, and found plenty of adventures. Ellie traded the desert for the garden, relocating to New Jersey and working as a controller for Zoku, LLC. She found her way back home to Wisconsin in 2015, living in Siren and finally Hudson, and working as a controller at Midwest Fiber Solutions in New Richmond.

Ellie laughed. Often. She found joy in simple pleasures and especially enjoyed spending time with family and friends and doting on her sweet pups, Cali, Reese and Bella. Anyone who followed Ellie’s snaps and posts knew she loved to travel (especially to attend a Packers game), shop, eat ice-cream, photograph sunsets and in general “find the fun” in life.

The sparkle in her eyes grew extra bright when she felt mischievous… many of us know that sparkle well.

Ellie’s smile was infectious and her heart was full of compassion, hope and love. Though her life with us here has ended far too soon, we seek comfort in knowing that her beautiful light will shine for eternity.

Ellie loved, and was loved deeply in return. She is survived by her parents, Shirley and Charlie; her partner, Jeremy Parker, his daughter, Lauren and their fur baby, Bella; her sister, Pam (brother-in-law Bryan, niece Emma, and nephew, Nate); and her sister, Kim (brother-in-law, James and niece, Brooke).

Ellie’s extended family includes her birth parents, Cara and Mark; her birth siblings, Cameron (daughter, Haley, son, Steven), Lauren (daughter, Nora) and Nick; her birth grandfather, Bud; her birth aunts, Becky, Elizabeth “Lisa” and Barb, as well as many additional aunts, uncles, and cousins. She is preceded in death by her birth grandmother, Barb and cousins, Stevie and Rachel.

Charlie, Shirley and Jeremy are profoundly grateful for the many family members, friends, and the Mayo Hospital Staff in Rochester, Minn., who not only cared for Ellie, but also showed incredible kindness and support to her family while they were by her side.

The family also wishes to extend a special thank you to Ellie’s Oncologist Dr. Matthew Block.

A visitation for Ellie was held Sunday, Aug. 11, 2019 from 4-7 p.m. at Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home in Webster. A Funeral Service was held Monday, Aug. 12 at 11 a.m. (visitation from 10-11) at Bethany Lutheran Church in Siren.

LUTHER POINT: camp raises $17,000 from annual quilt auction Sunday with 150 attendees CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

“We must start building bridges with our neighbors,” they said. “To understand one another is the first step in becoming friends and partners.”

Bishop Laurie Skow-Anderson of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s Northwest Synod of Wisconsin, stands by Luther Point in its decision to rent space to the Muslim American Society.

“Jesus teaches that the greatest commandment is to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves,” she said. The ELCA released the Inter-Religious Policy Statement.

The document applauds Lutheran ministries, like the one at Luther Point, that participate in inter-religious activities and says the church needs to strive to do more. These efforts “build mutual understanding and advance the common good.’’

The ELCA document, which was drafted in 2017 and has been reviewed and worked on extensively since then, says Christians have a

significant relationship with Jews and Muslims since all three world religions find their roots in Abraham. Followers of Islam trace their faith back to Ishmael, Abraham’s son with his servant.

“Given this kinship, Lutherans have a responsibility to overcome stereotypes and misunderstandings of Muslims and Jews and to seek fuller understanding and cooperation,” the document says.

Luther Point held their annual quilt auction on Sunday.

About 150 people of all ages attended the quilt auction. The crowd was larger this year than last, and the camp raised about $17,000 for its programs.

Hermann, a Grantsburg native, said going forward she plans to organize a Meet Your Muslim Neighbor event “so we can keep the understanding flowing.”

She recalled the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr - “Darkness can’t drive out the darkness. Only light can.”

DNR asks boaters to be good neighbors and limit damaging wakes MADISON–– Boaters, paddlers, anglers and swimmers, as well as shoreline property owners, are put at risk when boat operators throttle up and leave wakes in their paths - forcing others on the water to react quickly to the sudden rough water that slams other vessels and crashes into the shorelines.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is joining the Minnesota DNR in a public campaign urging all boaters to be aware of the risks and problems caused by boat wakes and to take steps to reduce big wakes.

Driven by a growing number of calls and complaints about excessive wakes, both states launched an educational effort urging people to “Own Your Wake - for everyone’s sake.” The to spread the word about the importance of minimizing wakes that might pose a nuisance or hazard to others.

Anyone with information regarding natural resource violations, may confidentially report by calling or texting: VIOLATION HOTLINE: 1-800-TIP-WDNR or 1-800-847-9367. The hotline is in operation 24/7. Trained staff relay information to conservation wardens.

“Wisconsin is known for its abundant waters that are destinations for all types of outdoor enthusiasts. Sharing our resources keeps it fun and safe for all - and that means operating with the other vessels in mind,” said Todd Schaller, Wisconsin DNR Chief Conservation Warden.

The summer boating season with a mixture of speedboats, fishing boats and “wake boats” has given rise to increasing concerns around large wakes and the problems they can cause. (Wake boats sit low in the water and produce big waves that someone being towed can surf.)

Common wake complaints in the summer include damage to shoreline properties, docked boats as well as paddlers and swimmers who get caught in the wakes’ rollers.

“One person’s boating fun should not cause safety concerns and damage for others,” Schaller said. “We hope boaters understand the impacts of boat wakes and voluntarily comply with existing rules and basic principles of on-the-water courtesy, to own your wake for everyone’s sake.”

First food pantry pop-up event helps ďŹ ll gaps during summer RYAN PATTERSON LEADER-TELEGRAM

EAU CLAIRE—About 100 people turned out Friday afternoon at the L.E. Phillips Senior Center for the first of many food pantry events in August.

Feed My People Food Bank hosted the gathering as part of its pop-up food program. Individuals of all ages walked through a line that featured fruits, vegetables, meats, peanut butter, mayonnaise, cereal, crackers, water and toiletries.

The events began a few years ago and will occur weekly in three locations until school begins. Suzanne Becker, assistant director of Feed My People Food Bank, said the organization chose this month because some families have more difficulty providing meals during summer break, and August means a wider array of fresh items are available from local growers.

Three people who used the offerings were Julianne Best, her mother, Kelly Best, and 4-year-old son Loki Best, who pulled a small cart that included watermelon, strawberries, meat, crackers and toilet paper. The items in the cart will provide healthier eating options and budgetary breathing room for the family while school is not in session.

Becker said the events have evolved to include more healthier options lower in salt and sugar content. “That’s hard to do, but that’s a real focus,� Becker said. “We really think the future of food banking is not just having enough food, but having the right food.�

She also said the events have grown over the years to serve more people and include other organizations. Indeed, several employees from the Eau Claire City-County Health Department provided information on healthy eating options, among other topics.

Beth Draeger, manager of the healthy beginnings division at the Eau Claire City-County Health Department, said it made sense to attend because of the connection between diet and health. Ideally, Draeger said a full meal includes 50% fruits and vegetables, 25% proteins and 25% whole grains. She is aware of the

time and financial constraints many people have when trying to make a healthy, inexpensive meal, however. “Let’s meet families where they’re at and then talk about how we can make what they’re doing a little healthier,� Draeger told the Leader-Telegram .

Becker said community outreach events can help serve more people by meeting them more directly in their neighborhoods. She also hopes to play a part in decreasing the stigma associated with food banks, something she said is fairly prevalent.

Draeger shared similar sentiments. “It takes a village to help raise kids and raise families and support each other, so if there’s a way we can do that and all work together and take away any sort of stigma that goes with it, I think that’s ultimately the goal,� Draeger said.

Julianne Best concurred and said misconceptions exist about people who take part in these types of events. “They’re not looking for handouts,� Julianne Best said. “They’re trying to feed their family and they are hard workers, but not everybody is paid what they’re worth.�

Becker said the sweltering temperatures presented a challenge to keep some food items preserved, but

many volunteers helped with that task and provided water bottles to people waiting in line. Similarly, the Bests expressed thanks for the event and noted that the employees and volunteers were extremely helpful.

Feed My People does not require photo identification to participate, something the Bests said is fairly uncommon among local food banks. Becker said FMP does not want any obstacles to exist and noted that she rarely experiences people taking advantage of free food offerings. “If anything, we find that too many people don’t come and get the help the need,� Becker said. “...Take away the barrier of hunger (and) they can fight some of the other barriers in their life.�

The first food pop up event appeared to be a positive precursor for the rest of the month.

Chenal has parlayed early enrollment into a shot at playing time JEFF POTRYKUS MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

MADISON – Leo Chenal understood the path to achieving his No. 1 goal – earning playing time as a freshman – meant graduating a semester early from Grantsburg High School so he could enroll at Wisconsin in January.

Chenal, whose 6-foot-2, 250-pound frame belies his youth, took advantage of his opportunity. One of four early enrollees who participated in spring practice, the inside linebacker had the best spring of any young player not named Graham Mertz.

Chenal showed early he was physically ready to handle the demands of college football. He appeared to grasp the defensive schemes as spring ball progressed and was almost always around the ball on both running and passing plays. That work should carry over into camp, which opened Thursday.

“If I came in during the summer with all the other guys I would be scrambling,” said Chenal, who took 13 credits in the spring. “What is this? What is this? What is this?

“I would have less time to figure out what’s going on. This spring, obviously I made some mistakes. But I’m working at cleaning them up. Spring ball is a really good way to clean up the mistakes.”

Chris Orr and Jack Sanborn formed the No. 1 inside linebacker pairing in the spring and likely will be the start-

ing duo for the Aug. 30 opener at South Florida. Chenal and Mike Maskalunas are expected to form the No. 2 pairing.

“I am just fighting to get as many reps as I can,” said Chenal, whose brother John is a sophomore fullback. “I’ve got to earn respect and earn trust.”

Leo Chenal, whose only other scholarship offer came from South Dakota State, appeared to earn the respect of players and coaches early in spring ball.

“Leo physically is very impressive,” defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard said. “Strength. Speed. The way he moves.

“I’ve been most impressed with how he has picked up the defense.”

Chenal, who has been able to benchpress 32 reps of 225 pounds, tried to gauge how he compared to his teammates during winter conditioning not long after he enrolled.

“When I first came in I said: ‘These guys are pretty big, a lot bigger than I am used to. But maybe I can hold my own,’” he said. “But guys are a lot faster.

Guys are a lot bigger. I think I’m doing OK physically. There is just so much you’ve got to (learn).

“You’ve got to have the mindset, learning the playbook and you also have to have the (right) technique. All the strength doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t have the proper technique.”

Leo Chenal’s biggest technical weakness in the spring was proper use of his hands.

Leo Chenal

“I’ve got to use my hands a lot better because in high school I could literally just run into guys with my shoulder and get to the ball,” he said. “Here I’ve got to use my hands.

"And just being confident in the play, that’s a huge deal. If you are 100% confident in what you are doing, you can go – boom – right to your spot, right to the ball.”

And if you aren’t sure of the playbook and your assignment?

“When you’re struggling with the playbook … you hesitate,” he said. “If you hesitate for one second, you’ve got a 320-pound lineman right in your face.

“You’re catching him and you get pancaked half the time. You’ve got to be able to react fast or else you’re going to get pancaked.”

Bob Bostad, entering his third season as the inside linebackers coach, doesn’t expect to see Chenal on his back too frequently.

Bostad recalled a trip to watch him play for Grantsburg.

“He just ran over guys,” Bostad said, snickering. “It was just comical. It was like watching a grown-ass grizzly bear amongst a bunch of children, just ripping through them.”

Ouch.

“The physical properties are off the charts,” Bostad added. "He is well advanced.

“And you could see that when he dissected something and he was finally starting to get it … you could see the burst. We knew he was explosive. To see that come alive was good to see.

“He’s got a long ways to go and he’ll be the first guy to tell you that. But when he figures it out and uses his hands better so he can use his strength he is going to be really hard to handle."

Bostad’s lone concern is that Chenal physically outgrows the position.

“You’ve still got to be able to move out there and be athletic,” he said. “But he has kept his weight where I think he is fine.

“I’m excited to see what he is going to look like in the fall now that he has a spring under his belt.”

What do you do after your woodlands experience unexpected storm damage?

If your woods have suffered damage due to the recent storms, the Wisconsin Woodland Owners Association (WWOA) is offering free resources to assist you in determining the next steps. WWOA’s website, https://wisconsinwoodlands.org/ storm-damage/, offers a variety of information for woodland owners to consider before signing or agreeing to anything.

As a nonprofit, educational organization, established in 1979 for and by Wisconsin’s private woodland owners, WWOA offers a wealth of information to help woodland owners care for their land.

Determining the next steps for your woods is important and should be done as soon as possible without compromising the quality of service you expect from a contractor. Your decision will have implications now and for decades into the future so make sure you are selecting reputable Wisconsin firms to provide the work you need.

On the WWOA Resources page, https://wisconsinwoodlands.org/

resources/, you can find a sample timber sale contract, links to the perfect forester for your land, and other resources to assist with storm damage cleanup.

Storm damage, while not always a pleasant experience, is a natural one.

Damage from extreme weather events can be referred to as “disturbance” and is a naturally occurring aspect in most ecosystems.

Active forest management and timber harvests in some ways, can replicate natural disturbance by creating canopy gaps that permit light to pass through and stimulate understory growth.

‘Damage from extreme weather events can be referred to as “disturbance” and is a naturally occurring aspect in most ecosystems.’

There are two main options (depending on the damage severity) that are outlined and expanded upon in the WI DNR publication, In the Face of Change.

The first is to leave things as is, allowing dead and damaged trees to decay and go through their natural process. By letting things go as is, a variety of new habitats for different wildlife species (which are often threatened/endangered) are created and nutrients are returned to the forest floor through decomposition.

The second is to do a salvage cut.

By clearing out downed and damaged trees, the amount of forest floor and standing fuels are decreased, thereby reducing your risk of a devastating forest fire. Insects and disease also spread quickly between damaged trees. This may be through the cutting of firewood or working with a professional forester and logger to do a salvage harvest.

There is no right answer for any one woodland. Work with your forester and trusted natural resources professionals

to decide what is best for you and your woodland. Even though you might feel rushed when handling storm damage on your property, make sure to take a deep breath, take a step back, and confirm that you are following all the needed steps to safely and responsibly manage your woodlands.

If you choose to cut your own trees, make sure you are proficient enough with chain saws to handle the job.

Accidents happen when you try to rush.

Remember that this is not your usual chainsaw work, there is a lot of tension on the twisted and fallen trees. If you are not confident in your ability to do something - DON’T! As previously mentioned, there are well-trained and experienced people ready to help you.

WWOA offers year-round educational opportunities for novice and experienced private woodland owners who want to improve the health of their woods. Learn more about WWOA by visiting our website at wisconsinwoodlands.org or for a free informational packet, contact WWOA at wwoa@uwsp.edu or 715-346-4798.

How often do you extend grace?

David Prince Trade Lake Baptist

Someone cuts in front of you while you are driving, or fumbles for change or their checkbook at the checkout line holding everyone else up, or the person behind you at the movie theater coughs throughout the entire movie; what do you do? Do you get annoyed, angry, upset? Do you judge that person in an unfavorable way?

It seems everywhere you turn, people get offended, upset, angry over almost anything. No one can make a mistake or inconvenience another without being jumped on, criticized, condemned. My question is, what happened to extending grace to others? To backing off instead of riding their bumper

or honking? To giving a person a smile instead of a scowl? To showing care and concern for a person instead of condemning? Extending grace doesn’t condone their behavior but it forgives, reacts with kindness and care not with harsh words, feelings or actions. Extending grace is giving people what they don’t deserve.

Imagine what life would be like if God reacted to every word or action that offended him with what you deserved – condemnation, punishment, death. But God shows His grace – He gives us what we don’t deserve.

He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth, to give those who believe and

For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” And Ephesians 2:8 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” God extends his grace to us through Jesus Christ.
