Tech Sgt. Larry Roy Green’s story as told by his nephew Arne R. Ardell of Webster. I was 8 years old when my uncle Larry Roy Green was killed in action on March 14, 1945, near the town of Koblenz, Germany, at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers. I remember vividly when the Western Union telegram arrived an-

nouncing his death. Larry was the son of my grandparents, Roy and Ethel Green, of Webster. Larry had three sisters: my mother, Adeline (Ardell) and my aunts Evelyn (Stanson) and Lela (Aubert). SUBMITTED

Damage done to Gandy Dancer DNR warns against ATV use GRANTSBURG–– Ask any DNR conservation warden lucky enough to work in Burnett County and you’ll hear about this northwestern county’s abundant natural resources, great neighbors and incredible outdoor recreation opportunities. Count the Gandy Dancer State

Trail Southern Segment high on the most popular outdoor areas around. As more of us are finding fun near our homes during the pandemic, the trail remains a go-to trail for outdoor enthusiasts. In recent weeks, I have received some trail-user complaints about

the illegal operation of some ATVs and UTVs (all-terrain and utility-terrain vehicles). As you likely know, the southern segment of the Gandy Dancer State Trail is closed to off-highway motorized vehicles WISCONSIN DNR

GREEN: Webster graduate trained in Louisiana and fought on D-Day on Utah beach CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

A graduate of Webster High School, Larry was drafted into the Army, took basic training and was schooled as an armor tanker at what was then Camp Polk in Louisiana. There he met and married a girl named Effie. They visited Webster before he deployed to Europe. Larry was assigned as a tank commander, 1st Platoon, Company C, 712th Tank Battalion, "The Armored Fist of the 90th" [Infantry Division], 1st Army, Three weeks after D-day, the 712th landed on Utah Beach as part of the Normandy Invasion and was subsequently assigned to the 3rd Army, commanded by Gen. George Patton, fought its way across France, Belgium and Luxembourg and took part in the Battle of the Bulge. Somewhere along the way, Larry was wounded and recovered. According to an August 2, 1984 letter to Lela Aubert, Ray Griffen, former member of the unit and secretary of the 712th Battalion Association, wrote "on March 13, 1945, the 1st Platoon moved into a small town near the Moselle River. They parked their tanks next to a row of tall houses to wait until a pontoon bridge could be built so they could cross the river. Larry was standing in the

turret of his tank when a mortar round hit him at the junction of his neck and shoulder. Griffin's narrative continued, "I arrived at the scene soon after Larry was hit. His body was still in the tank turret. I

had two men help me get his body out of the tank. He was buried in Lorraine Cemetery in eastern France." In 1945, I remember a Catholic priest visited my grandparents home in Webster on July

4th. He came to inform my grandparents of Larry's death and to let them know that he had performed the last rites. Unfortunately, I don't remember the priest's name or much of anything else except that he treated me and my cousins to a fireworks display that night. While working as a Department of the Army civilian living near Frankfurt, Germany, I visited Larry's grave in 1980. in 1987 when my aunts Lela and Evelyn visited me, I took them on a memorable road trip to visit the Lorraine Cemetery.

DNR: Trail system could be shut down if operators continue to break the laws CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

from April 1 through November 30. This is the segment that stretches through Burnett and Polk counties. This is the only trail in the county that is not open to ATV/UTV traffic, and there are signs along the trail stating this prohibition. It is important to keep this trail free of ATVs and UTVs so people can safely use it for walking, biking and running. DNR conservation wardens and Burnett County Sheriff Office deputies have also found areas along the Burnett County trail system where the ATVs and UTVs have made doughnut holes in the sand. This particular area of sand pictured above was flat at the beginning of this spring and is now four to six feet deep. This degrades our natural environment and can be dangerous to riders. I know the majority of our ATV and UTV operators obey the rules and honor safety guidelines. However, sometimes the actions of a few may reflect poorly on the majority operating responsibly. If operators continue to break laws regarding operating where closed and speeding the trail system could be shut down. STAY ON THE TRAILS, TAKE SAFETY COURSE All-terrain vehicle and utility terrain vehicle riding remains a popular outdoor activity and on the upswing in Wisconsin. It is the operator’s responsibility to

• Any operator born on or after Jan. 1, 1988 and is at least 16 years old must complete a safety certification course to operate a UTV on any designated public trail and route in the state. HELMETS, SPEED AND PASSENGERS Operators and riders are strongly urged to use your helmets, buckle up, keep speeds in check and stay sober for the entire outing. Also, please remember the new law

which states you cannot operate an ATV with a passenger on a machine which was not originally manufactured for two or more people. One good way to know if your ATV was manufactured for two or more people is to look at the safety warnings on the machine or to look in your manual.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2020

Frogs and Bucks Fall is in the air. It’s here and it feels fantastic. Last week while uninstalling the window a/c unit, I found an unusual creature. A frog. I lifted the unit out of the window and resting on the 2x4 I use to keep the unit level a little green intruder. So, I did what any young person does – I took a picture of it. Then I strategized how to get it safely off the window sill. While I was thinking it jumped into the house. After about three minutes of moving furniture and planning an attack, I used a magazine and a hat to coerce the frog safely back into the wild. It was the perfect place for a frog to take a nap. I’ve seen this frog before. It was sitting on my tv stand earlier this summer—the same course of action – hat and magazine. Sentinel They were just a little more hoppy this time around. Editor Anyway, Autumnus (Latin Jonathan Richie meaning passing of the year) is upon us, which means it’s sweatshirt weather. The season technically doesn’t start until September 22. However, I’m all for it starting early. There’s something extraordinary about the crispness in the air. And sports are back. In any typical year, this would be the time for the Packers. Due to the coronavirus, the NBA is forced to play in a bubble furnished by the Disney Corporation while pro baseball teams play a fraction of their games, in empty stadiums. When this all started I thought – wow, the Brewers, Bucks and Packers might all be playing simultaneously. However, it seems the Milwaukee Bucks have realized they have a coach who doesn’t know how to make adjustments in the postseason, the Milwaukee Brewers can’t hit the ball and the Packers have been alienating their star player for the past decade. It’s a grim outlook, but I think the recent success Wisconsin pro teams have had over the last three years for Milwaukee and the last 30 years for the Packers may be ending soon. Reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is a once-in-a-lifetime player who becomes a free agent after this season, and MVP Christian Yellich needs some help with hitting personally and the Brewers could use some more integrity in the bullpen. Don’t get me started on how the Packers front office has handled Aaron Rodgers. They were a powerhouse, but now another city can take over. Maybe Minneapolis. The Timberwolves, Twins, and Wild might be on the way up. We all know the Vikings will never amount to anything, especially with a quarterback who might prefer dying on the field like a gladiator. I’m hoping for the best when the Packers meet the Vikings in the season opener. Who knows, with a little luck, maybe this could be the year for our teams.

‘Heroes come in all forms’ Sept. 2 marked the 75th anniversary of the official end of World War II. Representatives of the Japanese government signed the instrument of surrender, ending one of the most tumultuous times of the 20th century. Over 16 million American men and women served during the war. In 2019 it was estimated there are 8,404 living World War II veterans in Wisconsin, 7,919 in Minnesota. Nationally, the estimate is 389,292 living veterans. These veterans and their stories are vanishing at an alarming rate with 294 dying every day. At this diamond anniversary of the From the Publisher’s end of the war, we wanted to recognize local veterans, living and dead. Desk We are grateful for the cooperation of veterans and their families who Tom Stangl provided photos and information. M h served left their homes as young adults, Many who unsure of what they would face as they went off to war. Some didn’t come back, others returned to a new reality. The period after World War II saw an unprecedented surge in growth and prosperity in our nation. Veterans came home and settled down to civilian life. The GI Bill and other veterans programs provided opportunities for these young men and women to succeed and helped create the middle class in America. Veterans contributed to the success of their communities as they received their educations or learned trades and raised families. Many never spoke of the things they did or saw during the war. Others spoke with their peers, sharing their common experiences. In recent years, as these veterans die, there has been a renewed urgency to learn their first hand accounts of history.

As we gathered this information for the paper, we learned many things about local people who served. One of the people who contributed a story about his parent who served, learned about his father’s war experience from a box of photos. His father took these photos and left them in a box in a closet. After the veteran had died, his son inherited the box of photos. A class project for his grandson brought the box of photos out. Looking through the box, a newspaper clipping told the man about the outfit his father served with during the war. After doing some research online, a picture of the timeline of his father’s unit’s service helped piece the photos together as the story became clear. Dale Henke, whose father, Gerhart, served in Europe, said he learned a great deal about his father from that box of photos. “Heroes come in all forms,” Dale says. “Most choose to relive their moments in silence and share little of their gallantry with others unless directly asked by someone. They feel honor for those who ‘gave more’ and self-humility demanded no less,” Dale said. Henke encourages everyone who has a parent or grandparent living who served during the war to get the photo albums out and listen to the stories. We realize that we have left people out of this edition. We did our best to get as much information as possible about the men and women who served during the war. We hope you enjoy these stories and share our appreciation for the efforts of the veterans Thank you to all who served and helped create the life we enjoy today. As always, I welcome your comments. You can reach me by email at tstangl@theameryfreepress. com, telephone 715-268-8101 or write me at P.O. Box 424, Amery, WI, 54001. Thanks for reading I’ll keep in touch. Feel free to do the same.

Guarding Your Right To Know Since 1875

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

ABOUT THE TOWN

Protect local business GENE JOHNSON, PUBLISHER EMERITUS PRESS PUBLICATIONS, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN

STATE AND LOCAL governments are beginning to look at ways to help and protect local business. They are finding ways to provide information to the consumer via the local newspaper and websites, which in turn helps the newspaper survive with advertising. We have seen some larger companies buy full pages allowing small businesses in the community to get a small ad promoting their goods and services. This is a little unusual, but they are conscious of supporting good local communication and journalism. Our subscriptions have increased. We even received some extraordinary subscription support for journalism. It’s all very much appreciated during this time when so many businesses are closed or have decreased revenue. Grocery stores, Gene Johnson lumber yards, hardware, liquor stores and real estate are doing quite well, but some of them who are doing well have even ceased their advertising program. RESTAURANTS HAVE HAD it tough with limited seating inside and in many cases the consumer has not wanted to go inside for dining, thereby limiting sales for the eateries. Ultimately there will be a pent-up demand for goods and services when the virus is controlled and that could be months away. Many of the big box stores are coming through fine, but the mom and pop stores are at risk. Do what you can to support your local businesses. MY WIFE KATHY’S 77 year old gallbladder acted up last month and we first thought it might be a heart attack. We appreciated our local EMTs for their promptness, quick examination, courtesy and experience. After a one-way trip to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, she waited in line for an operating room. A couple of days later with laparoscopic surgery, her non-warrantied gallbladder was removed with four small glued up incisions. She is well underway to recovery. In Minnesota and Wisconsin we have some great medical teams and hospitals with the latest technology. This is just another benefit of high-tech states like Minnesota and Wisconsin. WHEN YOU LOOK to the classified pages of this newspaper and see more help wanted ads, you know the economy is on its way to recovery. On the other hand, you have to mix it with national statistics that indicate one in five small businesses will not survive during this pandemic. More and more consumers are recognizing this and making their buying decisions with hometown businesses whenever possible. Support them so they will be there when you need them. OVER THE YEARS public television has provided pre-school education through Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers and other programs. I wonder if there is a place for public television to assist public and private schools in their programming now that so many children are at home during the week. There could be some national standards for various grade levels that could enhance learning in this very upsetting time. I think without a doubt there are more televisions in homes across the country than there are computers per household. IN THE BUSINESS community, webinars are very popular and effective and now we are doing a lot of Zoom meetings in lieu of in person meetings. Our technology is advancing rapidly. We just have to learn how to use it in effective ways. GOD’S WORD IN Timothy 6 tells us to flee from distractions. If you consider social media, which is pretty much gossip, as a distraction, then watch the hours that you are in front of the screen per day or per week. Is that what we call healthy living? Also check on how many times a day you reach for the cell phone. It just seems to be taking over our life. As parents we need to guide our children in disciplines like this. Remember, the best way to teach is by example.

CAPITOL REPORT

Democrats: Task force not an effective response to racial, policing issues Assembly Speaker Robin Vos’ call for a task force to address racial disparity and public safety falls far short of what’s needed in the wake of civil unrest after Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey shot Jacob Blake, say Capitol Democrats who question the effectiveness of such panels. “Vos didn’t decide to convene this task force until backed into a corner, and now he gets to use it as his excuse for not doing anything,” Rep. Sondy Pope, D-Mt. Horeb told WisPolitics.com. “They’re pretending to do something when they don’t really want to do anything.” Pope and a host of other Democratic lawmakers also knocked the track record of past task forces proposed by the speaker, criticizing them as slow and largely ineffective. In announcing the task force, Vos called for “a path forward as a society that brings everyone together.” “This is not a time for political posturing or to suggest defunding law enforcement,” he said in response to Gov. Tony Evers’ special session call for Aug. 31. “When a community is hurting, the most important thing that we can do is to listen.” But Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes said Vos’ move amounted to “another abdication of responsibility” while Evers noted “there are still bills that are still sitting in the Legislature that were the result of task forces.” A WisPolitics.com review of the bills developed by task forces Vos created this session — on adoption, water quality and suicide prevention — shows three of the 30 legislative recommendations have cleared both chambers of the Legislature. Evers has signed all three into law. Of the remaining 27 bills, all passed the Assembly but are languishing due to lack of action in the Senate. That chamber could still take those bills up in extraordinary session. Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald indicated before the pandemic struck earlier this year that members had interest in moving on some of the bills from the water quality task force, but a Fitzgerald spokesman told WisPolitics.com this week there were no updates on the package. “If the Legislature were to come back in session at some point, these bills could be resurrected and considered, but as of today there are no extraordinary floor sessions planned in the Senate,” spokesman Dan Romportl said. Quizzed on the task forces, Vos spokeswoman Kit Beyer said many of the bills were still in the Senate because the legislative session came to an “abrupt halt” due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz countered the Senate chose not to take up the bills well ahead of the pandemic and said

Vos should bear responsibility. “The first few task forces produced nothing and if the Senate was the problem, then maybe it should have been a legislative task force with the Senate to get them to embrace (the recommendations),” the Oshkosh Democrat told WisPolitics.com. “If you’re actually trying to get things done then you probably should design it with that kind of outcome in mind.” Beyer added that the percentage of task force bills signed into law was similar to the overall percentage of bills introduced this session that became law. The Assembly has introduced 1,038 proposals this session. Evers has signed 186 bills into law, good for a rate of 18 percent. She also pointed to six other task forces created by Vos during his time as speaker. Those panels focused on foster care, Alzheimer’s and dementia, urban education, youth workforce readiness, mental health and rural schools; they had mixed levels of success during a period when the GOP enjoyed a trifecta of state government control. Eleven of the 13 legislative recommendations from the foster care task force were signed into law, but only three of the 10 from a panel studying Alzheimer’s and dementia became law. The remaining four task forces are harder to judge because their final reports included recommendations that were not linked to legislation. Beyer highlighted six laws stemming from the mental health task force and a half dozen recommendations from the rural schools panel that were included in the Legislature’s 2015 budget bill. She also noted the youth workforce readiness task force’s recommendations were the basis for an expansion of the Department of Workforce Development’s Fast Forward program funding schoolto-skilled work initiatives. “It should always be viewed as a success when Republicans and Democrats come together to listen to Wisconsinites and work on the important issues facing the state,” Beyer said in an email. But Democrats charge the task forces do exactly the opposite. Democrats on panels examining youth workforce readiness and urban education released scathing minority reports accusing Republicans of ignoring their input and failing to take meaningful action. Pope, who served on the rural schools task force and authored the Democratic urban education task force report after serving as vice-chair, said the panels she served on produced “absolutely nothing of substance.” “They all turn out the same. We spend time and money examining the problem, people clearly tell us what the problem is and then we come back and don’t do anything,” she said. “It’s so pointless.”

Hintz acknowledged some of the previous task forces had led to “real discussions” on the issues they examined. This session’s water quality task force has won plaudits for its bipartisan spirit, though none of its recommendations have been enacted into law. But Hintz added Vos’ latest proposal is nothing more than “political cover” for Republican lawmakers facing tough re-election fights. “Task forces are not governing; it’s really the illusion of governing,” he said. “The result where 10 percent of the recommendations become law demonstrates that.” Hintz, D-Oshkosh, said he backed Evers’ package of bills aimed at overhauling police policies. Evers has called for lawmakers to take up the package in a special session scheduled for Monday. “I think one of the reasons we should act now and not wait until the next session is demonstrating to the public that we care enough to be responsive to these big issues,” he said. “They want to know that something is going to change or start to change or that there’s a signal out there that the people that are elected recognize this crisis for what it is.” The Capitol Report is written by editorial staff at WisPolitics.com, a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics, and is distributed for publication by members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

WEEKLY WAG

AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL

News and Updates from the Humane Society of Burnett County

A summer unlike any other SELINA WALTERS

Hello everyone, this week I will be taking over my Dad’s article to update you on my life and how I have been doing! As some of you may have noticed, unfortunately lately I have been too busy to go on as many trips with my Dad as I used to. As much as this is a letdown for me, I have been blessed to have many opportunities to learn about natural resources, and what I want to pursue in the future! This summer I was extremely lucky and landed a job in Stevens Point as an aquatic invasive species technician for Golden Sands Resource Conservation and Development. Golden Sands is a non-profit organization which works with community members to educate and help with large scale environmental issues. I am majoring in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences at UWSP, so this job was the perfect opportunity for me to learn outside of the classroom and have a great time while doing it! Many people asked me what my job actually meant, as the name is very broad but essentially, I would do lake surveys to check for invasive species, boat inspections, and if it weren’t for COVID I would have done a lot of education and outreach events. Essentially, 85% of my job was kayaking around lakes and searching for invasive species. I worked alongside my boss Chris Hamerla most of the summer and we would do point intercept surveys to assess the aquatic plant health of whole lakes, and also early detection surveys where we would meander around lakes and search select locations for new invasive plant growth. Guys, I can not even begin to tell you how much I learned this summer! Starting out I was very nervous because I did not really know the names of many plants or what they looked like. I now am confident with identifying many of the aquatic plants you will find in our Wisconsin lakes. This job also just taught me so many life skills that will help me with future jobs like traveling with a kayak on top of my car, organizing events with the public, and how to properly record and document data. One of my favorite projects of this summer was to help a coworker with biocontrol for Eurasian Watermilfoil. I’m sure many of you know what Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) is, or at least have seen it. It is a very common invasive species which once in a lake quickly takes over. Rather than treating lakes with a chemical, there is a species of weavel which feeds on EWM and lessens the population over time. Much of my summer was spent collecting stems to raise weavels and collecting the weavels themselves. I really enjoyed this aspect of my job as I got to see the

changes that the weavels made and there was no harsh impacts to the rest of the plant community as there would likely be with a chemical treatment. My work has started to slow down now, as I started school on the second and have been busy with that. UWSP is being very careful about coronavirus so most of my classes are online besides some labs. While I am not especially excited about this, I understand why they are doing it, and am just grateful to be back in school and living with my friends. I couldn’t be any happier with how my life is going, despite everything that is going on in the world today. I’m very excited for my future too! Stay happy and healthy, Selina

It is often said that new families need to be patient and let your new fur friend adjust. But have you ever wondered what that means? An easy way to remember pet milestones is often called the rule of threes. In the first three days your new pet is home, he or she is often unsure and overwhelmed by recent life changes. You may notice he or she will not want to drink or eat and Mama Rose may hide or withdraw. However, some pets will test boundaries to see what is allowable. After three weeks, you will see your new dog or cat start to settle in and fall into the house routines as he/she realizes this may not just be a temporary stop. As your cat or dog begins to let his/her guard down, you will start to see more of his/her real personality. You may also see new behavior issues may appear. At around the three-month mark, your pet should be completely comfortable in the home and feel secure with his/her new family members. He/ She has picked up on household routines and is building trust and a genuine bond with new family members. Bringing home a new family member is not always a seamless transition. As you are getting to know your new pet and vice versa, there will be bumps in the road. Some days, you may wonder what happened to that sweet pet you met at HSBC.

Sheriff's office requests new squad cars, OT discussed

A ﬁfth and a sixth OWI JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Two motorists were cited for 5th or 6th OWI in Burnett County in August. One was found drink-ing a beer behind the wheel and another drove into a mailbox and ended up in a ditch. Jolene Bildeau, 36, Webster, was arrested for 5th or 6th OWI on Aug. 11 in Sand Lake. It is her fifth OWI with the first in 2001 and the latest in 2004. William D. Daniels, 44, Webster, was arrested for 5th or 6th in Webster on Aug. 15. It is his sixth OWI arrest with his first in 1998 and most recent in 2011. Webster Police Department spotted a Daniels’ pickup truck just after midnight on Saturday Aug. 15. and the officer noted a female in the passenger seat was unconscious and the driver allegedly appeared to be drinking a beer. The woman was identified as Kimberly Erickson. The pair had been gambling and drinking at a casino in Hinckley, Minn. They were in Webster looking for a place to sleep. The Webster Police Officer on the scene said there was a strong odor of intoxicants coming from the vehicle. When the officer asked Daniels about consenting to a field sobriety test, Daniels allegedly said he was “beyond that point.” For Bildeau’s cases it began a little after noon on Aug. 11 when St. Croix Tribal Police Department responded to a call of a vehicle driving into a mailbox and then into a ditch. Tribal Police arrived on Sand Point Road in Sand Lake. A crowd was at the scene and told an officer Bildeau had allegedly been driving the car and was “messed up.” Bildeau spoke with officers and told them she was on new medication and told officers she knew she wasn’t supposed to be driving while on the medication. She continued to tell the officers she had used methamphetamine a couple of days before the accident. Bildeau struggled with elements of the field sobriety test and was turned over to the Burnett County Jail. She will be in front of Judge Melissia Mogen in October for her preliminary hearing. Daniels was also taken into custody following his arrest. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for November.

The Burnett County Sheriff's Office is requesting five new squad cars as part of their $4 million 2021 proposed budget. The department was on rotation for purchasing three new squad cars a year. However, they are asking to buy five squad cars this year due to a lack of oversight of vehicles from past administrations. "We had empty squad cars sitting in a field," Chief Deputy Jameson Wiltrout said. He added they initially were going to request six vehicles but settled on five.

MILWAUKEE—Jacob Blake has spoken publicly for the first time since a Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer shot him seven times in the back, saying he’s in constant pain from the shooting, which doctors fear will leave him paralyzed from the waist down. In a video posted Saturday night on Twitter by his family’s lawyer, Ben Crump, Blake said from his hospital bed that, “Twenty-four hours, every 24 hours it’s pain, nothing but pain. It hurts to breathe, it hurts to sleep, it hurts to move from side-to-side, it hurts to eat.” Blake, a 29-year-old father of six, also said he has staples in his back and stomach. “Your life, and not only just your life, your legs, something you need to move around and for-ward in life, can be taken from you like this,” Blake said, snapping his fingers. He added: “Stick together, make some money, make everything easier for our people out there, man, because there’s so much time that’s been wasted.” Blake, who is Black, was shot in the back by a white police officer on Aug. 23 after walking away from the officer and two others who were trying to arrest him. The officer, Rusten Sheskey, opened fire after Blake opened his own SUV’s driver-side door and leaned into the vehicle. The shooting was captured on video and posted online, sparking several

nights of protests and unrest in Kenosha, a city of about 100,000 between Milwaukee and Chicago. Sheskey and the other officers who were at the scene were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice. None of them have been charged. Blake, who had an outstanding arrest warrant when he was shot, pleaded not guilty Friday to charges accusing him of sexually assaulting a woman in May and waived his right to a preliminary hearing. Blake appeared remotely via video conference from his Milwaukee hospital bed, wearing a dress shirt and tie. He spoke only to respond to the judge’s questions. The state Justice Department has said a knife was recovered from Blake’s vehicle, but it has not said whether he was holding it when officers tried to arrest him. The man who made the widely seen cellphone video of the shooting, 22-year-old Raysean White, said he saw Blake scuffling with three officers and heard them yell, “Drop the knife! Drop the knife!” before gunfire erupted. He said he didn’t see a knife in Blake’s hands. The Kenosha police union said Blake had the knife and refused orders to drop it. Blake fought with police, including putting one officer in a headlock, the union said. Police twice used a Taser, which did not stop Blake.

Trump, Biden spar over economy, workers in Labor Day blitz NOREEN NASIR, ALEXANDRA JAFFE AND KATHLEEN RONAYNE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARRISBURG, Pa.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and President Donald Trump spent Monday diminishing each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credentials on the economy and understanding of the American worker as the presidential campaign entered its final, post-Labor Day stretch. While workers live by an â&#x20AC;&#x153;American code,â&#x20AC;? Biden said Trump â&#x20AC;&#x153;lives by a code of lies, greed and selfishnessâ&#x20AC;? as he met with labor leaders in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a key swing state. Trump, meanwhile, tried to put the halting economic recovery under the best light in a White House press conference where he said Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, would â&#x20AC;&#x153;destroy this country and would destroy this economy.â&#x20AC;? Labor Day typically marks the unofficial start to the fall campaign season as candidates accelerate their activity for the final sprint to Election Day. Both campaigns reflected that urgency Monday, as Harris and Vice President Mike Pence each campaigned in Wisconsin, a state Trump narrowly won in 2016. The events played out against the background of the pandemic, which has upended campaigning and pushed Biden and Harris in particular to conduct much of the traditional election activity online. While the health of the American economy and status of workers were dominant Labor Day themes, both campaigns also focused on recent protests that have roiled Wisconsin and the rest of the nation after police shot Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Kenosha last month. Harris, the first Black woman on a major party presidential ticket, met privately with Blakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family at the Milwaukee airport after arriving in the state, where she spoke with Blake by phone from his hospital bed. Harris told Blake she was proud of him and individually spoke to each of his family members, in person and on the phone, urging them to take care of their physical and mental health, Blakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers said in a statement. Biden met with Blakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family during a visit to Wisconsin last week. Trump did not during a trip of his own last week, instead meeting with law enforcement and business owners whose property had been damaged during protests. Nor did Pence, who touched on the protests during a speech in La Crosse, where he toured an energy facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have law and order in every city in this country for every American of every race and creed,â&#x20AC;?

Pence said. Out on the trail, signs of the pandemic were evident. While Pence didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak with a mask on, workers from the power company he toured did as they stood behind him. Harris was careful not to stray far from blue â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xâ&#x20AC;? marks taped on the floor to encourage social distancing as she toured an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers training facility. While supporters gathered outside the candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stops, they had minimal interaction with members of the public beyond the people invited to their events. After meeting with Black business owners, Harris greeted a crowd of about 50 supporters outside as she left, removing her mask briefly while telling them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to get this done, I need your help in Milwaukee.â&#x20AC;? She noted in-person absentee voting begins in the state on Oct. 20, which is her birthday. Harris also met with Black business owners in Milwaukee, where she said her day of campaigning was focused on â&#x20AC;&#x153;the dignity of work and the dignity of human beings.â&#x20AC;? Biden spoke to a small group of labor leaders in a backyard in Lancaster, where he criticized Trump for â&#x20AC;&#x153;refusing to deal with the problems that affect ordinary peopleâ&#x20AC;? and called for strengthening unions. His campaign announced endorsements from the Laborersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; International Union of North America, the International Union of Elevator Constructors and the National Federation of Federal Employees, collectively representing hundreds of thousands of union workers nationwide. Later, at an AFL-CIO virtual town hall with union President Richard Trumka, Biden called Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alleged remarks about fallen soldiers being â&#x20AC;&#x153;losersâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;suckersâ&#x20AC;? un-American and said Trump would never understand why Americans serve. Trump has denied the remarks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never understand you, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never understand us, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never understand our cops, our firefighters, because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not made of the same stuff,â&#x20AC;? Biden said. Earlier in the day, Trump painted Biden as a leader incapable of handling the coronavirus and reviving the economy and pledged his own â&#x20AC;&#x153;undying loyalty to the American worker.â&#x20AC;?

Labor Day typically marks the unofficial start to the fall campaign season as candidates accelerate their activity for the ďŹ nal sprint to Election Day.

He boasted of adding more than 10 million jobs since May, without mentioning thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only about half of the jobs lost since the pandemic began. He also said the unemployment rate â&#x20AC;&#x153;plungedâ&#x20AC;? to 8.4%. It was a sharper decline than many economists expected from the prior month, but economists broadly view the latest report as evidence that further economic improvement will be sluggish. He alleged Biden and Democrats would â&#x20AC;&#x153;immediately collapse the economy.â&#x20AC;? The day marked Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first solo foray onto the campaign trail for in-person events since she became Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running mate nearly a month ago. Biden himself has stepped up his campaigning over the past week, traveling to Pittsburgh and Kenosha and holding two news conferences. Aides say to expect both Biden and Harris to increase their campaigning for the remaining weeks. Polls consistently show the economy as an issue at the top of votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds. A strong economy that was Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest asset for reelection has now become a potential liability, brought down by the coronavirus. Biden says Trump has had an inadequate response to the pandemic, resulting in more loss of life and jobs than necessary. The U.S. economy has been steadily rebounding from its epic collapse in the spring as many businesses have reopened and rehired some laid-off employees. Yet the recovery is far from complete. Only about half the 22 million jobs that vanished in the pandemic have been recovered. Economic inequalities also appear to have widened, with lower-income and minority workers suffering disproportionately while affluent Americans have lost fewer jobs and even benefited from rising stock and home prices. Ronayne reported from Sacramento, California, and Nasir reported from Milwaukee. Associated Press writer Amy Forliti contributed from Minneapolis.

The service of Sgt. Lloyd H. Coos, remembered by his niece, Diane Rickard My mother’s only brother, Uncle Lloyd H. Coos, was killed in the Battle of Okinawa not long before the war ended. He wrote a letter home to my Aunt Nina just a week before he gave his life explaining the Japanese attack and throwing those grenades and what his infantry went through. But what I thought was very touching as he closed, was his mentioning how nice it would be to “be back home, the frogs singing, the birds coming back, everything getting green.” After the war ended and his body came back for burial at Fort Snelling, I shall never forget that tribute to his sacrifice as we gathered as a family and even though my cousins and I were still very young, we stood in awe and reverence as the soldiers carefully and with great precision, folded the flag that had draped his coffin. And when that very noble symbol of freedom was handed to my grandma, her tears fell on the stars facing upwards. I learned then, that in the aftermath of war, thousands of lives are lost, and as a result, many more thousands of lives are changed- never to be the same again. And so it was for my family. Sometime before Uncle Lloyd left for the war, he planted some Norway pines on the forty across from his home place. We always referred to it as “Lloyd’s forty.” On many occasion during my youth and after my parents took over the farm, I hiked across that forty, and as I gazed up into the boughs of those

pines, I often wondered what life might have been like had Uncle Lloyd returned. I leaned against those monumental trunks and mourned his loss. Those pines still stand today, and after many decades, have reached a towering height. They have become a very fitting memorial to a soldier who gave his all. Below is the words in the letter that Uncle Lloyd wrote home a week before he gave his life, written on April 16, 1945 on Okinawa Island: Dear Nina, Well, it’s quite a while since I wrote to you. I haven’t done much the last couple

of days. So I am still O.K. I shaved a couple of days ago and washed up- that was

the first time in two weeks, so I guess I’m good for a couple of more weeks. The Jap’s made a counter attack on us two nights in a row a couple of nights ago and we had a pretty wild time for a while. We beat them off tho’ killing quite a few and wounding a bunch. That’s the most grenades I’ve thrown and the most shooting I’ve done since I’ve been in the Army. A Jap threw a grenade that went between another fellow and I. We were about three feet apart. I saw it come and go by, so I knew we were safe from that one. I’m not much scared of their grenades. We threw three or four back at him and he didn’t throw anymore. Some of the Jap’s were only about twenty feet from us and some of them got closer than that to some of the guys. The artillery has been giving us a little hell. It’s bad to be on the receiving end. It sure scares the daylights out of me. A piece of shrapnel took a little skin off my elbow one day, but it wasn’t bad at all. It hurt at first, but got O.K. in a hurry, so that’s the way it goes, day after day. I am thinking how nice it must be back home now. The frogs singing, birds coming back, everything getting green, and stuff like that there. But, of course, I’m always thinking how nice it is back home so that’s nothing new. Well, I’m at the end of the sheet, which you will probably notice. Love, Lloyd.

Carl S. Nordin On December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor and later Clark Air Force Base, north of Manila, was bombed by the Japanese, World War II came to the United States and to Carl Nordin. Carl had enlisted in the army in September, 1940. By late 1941, he received a furlough from his base in Salt Lake City. He was headed home to propose marriage to his girlfriend, Fay Lewis, a teacher in Siren, Wisconsin. Before he could do so, a telegram arrived stating that all furloughs had been cancelled. Carl’s life, along with so many other lives, took a long and unplanned detour. Carl returned to Salt Lake City, from there to San Francisco, to Honolulu and finally to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines where he was put in charge of the supply tent. After five months of establishing a base and gathering supplies, orders came from General Wainwright on Corregidor to General Sharp on Mindanao to surrender. On May 10, 1942, the surrender became effective. And on May 12, 1942, Carl’s freedom ended. He became a Prisoner of War number 334. Forty eight years later, at age 80, Carl wrote a book based on these experiences. Unbeknown to his captors, he had kept a diary all through the war written, with a pencil stub, using backs of cigarette packages for paper. He detailed daily prison life, hard labor, little food, beatings, illnesses, even camp humor. He wrote about Philippine people who helped the prisoners when they could. One man named Salvador Albarece and his family was especially kind to Carl. He wrote about the two different camps he was confined in before being moved via three “hell ships” to his final and most difficult camp, Japan. Lying with other soldiers, stacked in layers in the belly of the ship, Carl willed himself to survive by reciting poems memorized in school, Bible verses, songs and hymns, family memories, and dreams of Fay. He also wrote of kindness by one of his captors in Japan, Ikuta-San. Thirty five years after the war, Carl and Ikuta-San were reunited at a Reunion for Peace organized by the Philippine government. Carl’s brother, Col. Glenn Nordin, had located Ikuta-San while tracing and photographing Carl’s steps throughout his captivity. Although VJ Day (Victory over Japan) was officially declared on August 15, 1945, liberation for Carl didn’t come until September 5, 1945. He returned home via hospital ship to Fort Lewis, Washington, hospital train to Chicago, and to Union Depot in St. Paul and finally to Siren. Freedom. Home. Carl’s war experiences left him with profound gratitude for freedom, a lasting faith in the God that had sustained him, life-long friendships with his POW buddies, and a passion for helping ease world hunger through the ELCA-World Hunger program during all his retirement years. It also left him with an appreciation of travel throughout our beautiful world. He held the beauty of the Philippine Islands in his heart and returned there in 1977. Carl’s war experiences left him with no animosity or bitterness, only thankfulness, and finally a long and loving marriage with Fay Lewis. ~ Submitted by Carleen (Nordin) Tjader

Relationships that matter

Pastor Dale Van Deusen Trade River Evangelical Free Church

You’ve met a lot of people in your life. Do you have any favorite people? Maybe a grandma or a neighbor or a teacher? They may not be famous, like an entertainer or politician. They weren’t known by the masses, and won’t make the history books. But they were important to you. You are glad they are or were part of your life. They have made a deep impact in your life. How come? Why are they one of your favorites? Probably because of how they treated you and others, right? Their character, actions, and words left an impression in your heart and mind. Even long after we are separated from these people by distance or death, they still affect

our thoughts and feelings. Have you been blessed by relationships that matter? A man named Timothy had three such mentors in his life- his grandmother Lois, his mother Eunice, and an older father-figure friend Paul. Paul writes to Timothy: “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it…” They not only taught Timothy how to live but their lives validated their teaching. What had they lived and taught so that their relationships with Timothy mattered? “…from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation

Fall color hikes abound ROB BIGNELL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

There’s no better way to experience autumn colors in the Grantsburg area than a hike. The brilliant yellows, oranges and red of maples to the scarlet and russets of oaks...the crisp, fresh autumn air and the last warm rays of sunlight before winter arrives...the crunch of fallen leaves and acorns beneath your boots... stopping to enjoy a warm mug of apple cider or a caramel apple pulled from your backpack – it all calls for an afternoon on the trail. Fortunately, there are plenty of great autumn trails around Grantsburg to hike. Some are right out your back door, while some are a day trip that you can do in an afternoon. GANDY DANCER TRAIL (DANBURY) Day hikers can walk across an old railroad bridge over the St. Croix River at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and St. Croix State Forest on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border. The Gandy Dancer Trail, which starts dozens of miles south of the state forest in Polk County, at Danbury crosses the border into Minnesota. The trestle bridge segment is about two miles round trip. You’ll head through a forested area. The mix of trees near the

Trego Nature Trail

riverfront yields a fantastic multi-colored leaf display in autumn. An added bonus for autumn hikers: You’ll probably spot a number of migrating waterfowl, including sandhill cranes. Also watch for bald eagles, osprey, northern harriers and hawks, all of which reside year around in the area. In Danbury, parking for trail access is next to the walking route north of Hwy. 77 between and Hwy. 35 and North Glass Street. From the lot, take the trail north. INTERSTATE STATE PARK (ST. CROIX FALLS) The splendor of fall colors combines with a vista of the St. Croix River and fascinating rock formations on the Summit Rock Trail at Interstate State Park. The 1-mile round trip trail heads to a bluff’s highest point. Moss and autumn leaves cover the surrounding rock and

ground while maples, basswood and eastern white pines line the trail. At the top, prickly pear cactus can be spotted amid the outcrop-pings. The highlight of the hike without question is the incredible view of the riverway from the summit. Looking north, the Old Man of the Dalles rock formation is visible. From St. Croix Falls, take Wis. Hwy. 35 south. Turn right/west into the park and follow the entry road to the parking lot across from the Lake O’ the Dalles. RIDGE VIEW TRAILS (OSCEOLA) Day hikers can experience an autumn forest that looks almost like the one Native Americans and pioneers saw during the 1800s. The 2.9-mile Ridge View Trails near Osceola heads beneath a lush forest canopy in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and the Osceola State Fish Hatchery

on a bluff over-looking a St. Croix River back channel. Sugar maple is the dominant tree. Each autumn, its leaves vary from yellow to orange or red. Basswood, whose leaves turn olive in fall, and white ash, which changes to a deep maroon, usually are mixed in the canopy. From Osceola, take Wis. Hwy. 35 north and turn north onto County Road S. The two trailheads are on the road’s left/west. Both trailheads have their own parking areas off of the road. Just beyond 93rd Avenue is the southernmost parking area, which is an excellent trailhead for either loop. ST. CROIX STATE FOREST (SANDSTONE, MINN.) Hikers can walk alongside pretty Tamarack River, where a variety of trees light up the trail in autumn. The 3.75-mile out and back Tamarack River Trail runs along

the river’s west side before it flows into the St. Croix River. Rolling terrain features maple, basswood, ash, aspen, oak, tamarack along with the evergreens Norway, red and white pine. From Sandstone, take County Road 123 east then go straight-left/east on County Road 30. Turn right/south onto County Road 24 and then left/ east onto County Road 25. After passing Markville Cemetery, take the next right/south. Park at the Tamarack horse camp and head south on the trail in the St. Croix State Forest. Note that the full trail actually is a loop but requires a river crossing, so that and the route on the river’s east side are not included here. BEAVER BROOK WILDLIFE AREA (SPOONER) Day hikers can enjoy a pleasant walk along a classic trout stream during autumn at the Beaver Brook Wildlife Area south of Spooner. The East Trail, with its many side trails, goes for a little more than two miles. Most of the trail runs beneath amber- and red-leafed maple, tanand russet-colored oak, yellow aspen, and tamarack, whose needles turn a bright orange. From Spooner head south on

U.S. Hwy. 53. Turn left/ south onto Cranberry Drive. After about a mile, just before road curves southeast away from Beaver Brook, turn right into the parking lot. TREGO LAKE (TREGO) A pretty autumn hike through a Northwoods forest awaits hikers on the Trego Lake Trail. The 1.9-mile trail loops through the forest next to Trego Lake in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The comely trail presents the yellow of birch trees leaves and orange and browns of various oaks amid the mixed hardwood and pine forest. You stand a good chance of spotting white-tailed deer and ruffed grouse along the way. From Trego, drive north on U.S. Hwy. 53. Go left/west on North River Road. In two miles, turn left/south into a parking lot. Take the stem trail from the lot’s southern side to the main trail, where you’ll go left/east.

For the month of September, artZ Gallery proudly presents the work of three area artists experimenting and practicing; however, the process is a joy and I love it!” Bonnie is a founding member of ArtZ Gallery in Amery where her paintings are in an ongoing display along with her prints, cards, and magnets. www. bluesprucestudio.com.

BRUCE KAUPANGER Bruce Kaupanger was born and raised in Stoughton. He attended UW-Eau Claire, earning a BA in Art Education in 1969. Shortly after getting a teaching job in Rice Lake, he started graduate work at UW Superior earning an MA in 1975 with an emphasis on ceramics and sculpture. After teaching art for 33 years, he retired in 2002. He constructed a studio the following summer. “My work has had many influences including meeting and exchanging ideas with local artists in the American Southwest, Japan and Europe. However, some of the strongest influences have come from 33 years of wonderful, inquiring student questions and fantastic solutions which proved educational to all involved. So now I make pots in the winter and go to art fairs in the summer with my understanding wife Carolyn.”

BONNIE HAGEN Bonnie’s rural upbringing has influenced many of her animal and landscape paintings as well as some of her abstract interpretations. She uses bright saturated colors with bold often gestural lines to make her subjects pop. Using watercolor and mixed media allows her to do this. “I enjoy watercolor not only because of the challenge and unpredictability it presents but also for its versatility for incorporating other media into the work. I have so much yet to learn, so feel like I am constantly

PATRICIA HAMM Chetek water media artist Patricia Hamm has been an artist all her life and has been selling her art in galleries for 40 years. She recently completed her one thousandth painting. “I would like my work to be an escape by combining the abstract and non-objective with shapes found in nature. The viewer should feel a color impact at first sight, and then find compositional variables, depth, and subtleties upon further observation. Curvilinear qualities are also evident in my work, due largely, to years of calligraphic work. I usually have coloration in mind, but not a subject matter. When I begin a painting, I rarely draw anything on the paper. I don’t want to be limited by pre-set ideas. Some of my work ends up completely different than it started. It can go through several metamorphoses before I am happy with it. For the last several years I’ve been adding various media to my work. I use watercolor, gouache, fluid acrylic, inks (colored and India), watercolor pencils, craft paints and metal powders. I find the plethora of acrylic products that are on the market to be very exciting and challenging. There are products that produce textures: crackles, stringy, thick, opaque, coarse and slick. There are also new colors that are intense and vibrant. I have a love-hate relationship with the new Yupo paper, which is actually plastic. It’s like painting on Formica.” She has been working in tooled metals combined with sculpted acrylic mediums.

WILD CHOW

Blame your mom and dad if you don’t like brussels sprouts I eat a lot of brussels sprouts. They’re in my salad at lunch. I like them grilled and served with a steak at dinner or served as an appetizer with a beer at my favorite local restaurant. They’re also growing in my garden! I’m surprised when I tell people I really like Brussels sprouts they scrunch their nose up and say, “ewe!” Brussels sprouts Wild Chow are one of those Lisa Erickson vegetables that need some TLC when you cook them. I’m afraid many people have been the recipient of brussels sprout negligence. Sadly, bad sprouts can scar you for life. Brussels sprouts contain a compound called glucosinolate that turns into a bitter compound, isothiocyanate when the sprouts are damaged or overcooked. For years, farmers have been growing varieties that contain less of the bitter compound—sprouts may not be as strong as you remember as a kid. Studies also suggest some people have the ability to detect bitter

Marinated Brussel Sprouts

1 lb. Brussel sprouts, cut in half ¼ cup butter, melted Salt and pepper to taste ¼ cup Italian salad dressing ½ cup parmesan cheese 1 small clove of garlic, minced 2 Tbsp onion, minced 1 Tbsp parsley, chopped ½ tsp dried dill Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim Brussel sprouts by cutting off the ends and removing any damaged outside leaves. Cut in half unless they’re small, then leave whole. Arrange sprouts on a large rimmed baking pan. Drizzle with the melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes until sprouts are tender and some edges are darkened. In a large bowl, combine the dressing, garlic, onion, parsley, and dill. Pour over warm sprouts and toss to evenly coat. Cool completely and cover. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The sprouts can be served while they are warm, but the flavors will be milder.

GREEN BAY—Rapper Kanye West’s lawsuit demanding election officials place him on Wisconsin’s presidential ballot in November will remain in state court. U.S. District Judge William Griesbach decided late Thursday to keep the matter in state court, rejecting the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s attempt to move it to federal court. Griesbach said the case should remain in state court in part because state court is the “proper forum” for cases that apply to state law, even state law that applies to federal elections, WLUK-TV reported. The judge also determined that the commission “failed to carry its burden” in demonstrating that the challenge raised a “substantial federal issue.” West filed suit against the commission in Brown County Circuit Court after it voted to keep him off the state’s presidential ballot because he narrowly missed the deadline for filing nomination papers. At a status conference earlier Thursday, a commission attorney told Griesbach ballots are already being printed. West announced a presidential bid in July, saying he’s seeking the nation’s highest office on a ticket he calls the “Birthday Party.” Democrats claim Republicans are pushing West’s candidacy in swing states to siphon Black votes from Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

compounds more than others. It could be hereditary. Your genes may make you more likely to detect the bitter compound. Even though sprouts can be bitter, these same compounds are the ones that scientists are studying because they may be effective against a host of health issues. The bigger sprouts are, the more

likely they will be bitter. When shopping for sprouts, look for sprouts that are tightly compact, small, and fresh. This recipe is good a segway into “teaching” yourself into liking brussels sprouts. The flavors are complimentary and the way they are cooked produces a mild flavor.
