“For those of you who still hold it’s a man’s world or believe Women’s Lib is something new on the scene, take a gander at the above 1950 photograph. Pictured there is none other than the Seattle Post Office’s own Meta Shepherd, Personnel Clerk (Relief), Lander Street Annex, who, believe it or not, was the first woman M-P in the history of the United States Army.” This is the opening from an article from a publication in Washington state in April 1971. Titled “Pistol-Packing Mama,” the article explains how Meta Shepherd became the first female M-P in the Army. “(She) certainly doesn’t look as if she could use jujitsu to throw a two-hundredpound male or expertly fire a sub-machine gun, – but she can!” Shepherd’s cousin, Elma Karels, stopped into the Sentinel office and showed a variety of documents and photos from Shepherd’s life. Karels found the documents after her cousin passed away in May in Arizona. She has been digging through “All her

Siren Nationals will be back at the Burnett County Municipal Airport on Saturday. The event includes a car show, 1/8 mile radar run, swap meet and local vendors selling concessions. The event was cancelled last fall due to the repaving of the runway used for the radar run. It was also cancelled in the spring due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus. This will be the first radar run on the newly renovated runway, the project cost about $2 million. The runway 5/23 was ranked one of the worst in the state.

“Airport officials would like to have the pavement completely set before having the racers back at the airport,” County Administrator Nate Ehalt said last fall. At the time jets and planes were already using the runway but officials were concerned about the number of vehicles on the runway so soon after finishing the project. Siren Nationals always draws a big crowd. Last May the event brought in over 600 spectators, with about 100 cars participating in the radar run. There is a general admission fee and a fee if you would like to participate in the radar run. More information can be found at www.facebook.com/ sirennationals.

‘Typical day in jail’ More maintenance issues with inmates A Burnett County inmate destroyed newly installed visiting video station equipment. Burnett County maintenance director Gary Faught described the scene as “a crazy guy ripped it apart.” He added that he also used toothpaste and other materials for part of the dismantling. He described it as “a typical day in jail” for his crew. The maintenance department went into the jail and repaired

the wall and the electronics were replaced by the company that installed them. Faught said he was not sure about whether it was going to be compensated or if the county has to pay for the replacement equipment. “That’s a question for the jail,” Faught told the Infrastructure Committee last week. Jail Administrator Mark Schmidt told the Sentinel follow-

ing the meeting that the equipment is not owned by the county so they did not cover the cost of replacing it. Schmidt said the equipment is used by inmates to make personal phone calls and replacing it will not cost the county anything. He said Inmate funds pay for expenses with the phone meaning the county did not have to pay for replacing the equipment.

These documents, photos, and newspaper clippings arrived and Karels began digging through the stuff and started putting together the story of her cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Meta Jean Shepherd was born and raised in Minneapolis. Her cousins lived in Frederic and would visit them over the summer. When she was 16 her family moved to Seattle. She attended community college and in 1949 joined the armed forces. Shepherd went through 10 weeks of basic training at Camp Lee in Virginia. Then a call for volunteers for M-P duty went out and Private Shepherd signed up. Her and two other rookie female cops were sent to Georgia for six weeks of M-P training at Camp Gordon. Shepherd said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls really worked. They had the same exercise the men had, practiced judo for long sessions, took their marching right along with the men, and learned guard house procedure.â&#x20AC;? To gain experience the women would direct traffic and were trained to use different types of weapons including the 45, sub-machine guns and bayonets. Shepherd recalled how difficult

Ready for football? Football is back. The Packers won and all is right with the world. Yes, it’s another column on sports. Football fans all over the country plopped themselves down on Sunday for some good old American feel good. The games looked pretty much the same as they always have except there were no fans, no sideline reporters and “END RACISM” was painted on every end zone. Other than that, they were the same. Thursday kicked off the week with the reigning Super Bowl champs Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans locking arms for unity before the game. I had the game on and started hearing booing from the crowd. Kansas City is one of a few stadiums allowing fans in for the game. They allowed 17,000 people to Sentinel watch the game in the cavernous 80,000-seat stadium. Editor They booed unity, but a few Jonathan Richie minutes later they were screaming their heads off for a touchdown. It was a very clear – do your job and nothing else – moment. We just want to see you playing the game, we do not care about what you think. Before the game they also played “Lift Every Voice and Sing” or as they called it the Black National Anthem. Which was surprising given the NFL’s treatment of Colin Kaepernick who protested the system which keeps people of color down. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said in August 2016. He began kneeling at games and fans, owners and the President of the United States got mad about it. They weren’t mad about how black people are treated, they were mad about disrespecting the flag. The NFL did not support Kaepernick and he hasn’t played a single snap since 2016. “No teams wanted to sign a player—even one as talented as Kaepernick—whom they saw as controversial, and, therefore, bad for business,” said Joe Lockhart, former NFL vice president of communications from 2016-2018. But now, four years later, the landscape has shifted. These are the same businesses that celebrated Juneteenth this year following the murder of George Floyd. Protests are similar to sports betting and how all sports were against it, but now that the tide is turning on sports betting leagues and media companies are striking new relations with Las Vegas betting companies. Football is back and it makes me feel good. Plus, the Packers beat the Vikings on the road and that shows the Green and Gold has what it takes to make another run for the Lombardi trophy in February. Or maybe there will be another shutdown and the Super Bowl will be pushed back till April. It’s 2020, literally anything can happen.

Time for the next step WOW. When we decided to do a Reader’s Choice contest, we truly didn’t know what to expect. To us, it was a new and exciting opportunity to interact with our readers. It was also a great opportunity in the socially distant days we are living in for all of us to thank the small businesses and professionals that make our communities the vibrant places we all love. There was a learning curve for us as we navigated the online nominating and voting tools and got everything situated on our website. In July, we opened the contest for nominations and received 1,014 nominations. The ballot was formed with the businesses or individuals who received the From the Publisher’s highest number of nominations with a limit of five people for each category.

week. But the contest revealed a new layer of interest to us, but I think it speaks to the larger sense of community and extended family in our community. This bond of family love has been tested in the past six months. The coronavirus and subsequent economic and social fallout from the lockdown have been challenging, to say the least, to the vast majority of businesses, including ours. The last estimate I saw was a prediction that one on five businesses – 20 % – will not survive. That’s a truly staggering number in our community. Some will say the virus has simply hastened long term trends that were visible before March. While I can understand that argument on an intellectual level, I think that thinking smells more than a little. Simply put, no one can predict the future. Small businesses have continually found ways to overcome, innovate and evolve. A business may be fundamentally changed in the way it delivers goods and services, the actual products may remain unchanged. In my thinking, this means we simply must all exercise our personal responsibility and put our money where our mouths are in the coming months. It is no longer enough to share something on social media and bask in the glow of our superiority. Actions, not words, are needed to keep our businesses, and by extension our communities, open and thriving. Followers and likes may be important to many, but they won’t pay the bills. Thanks to all who helped make the Best Of a success. Let’s take the next step and make these businesses the most successful. 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.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

CAPITOL REPORT

Campaign visits demonstrate Wisconsin’s importance as swing state The year 2020 is anything but normal. But one thing that seemed normal on the recent Labor Day weekend: top national candidates visiting the Badger State to kick off the traditional campaign season. Labor Day saw visits to Wisconsin by both Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Pence was in La Crosse, and Harris was in Milwaukee. The visits got a lot of national attention and again focused the importance of Wisconsin in this year’s presidential race. Most pundits say that in order for Donald Trump to repeat, he has to again win Wisconsin. But post-convention polls showed Trump trailing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The NBC political team has Wisconsin as “lean Democrat” in the Electoral College count. Pence made a pitch to farmers and workers while Harris spoke of the challenges facing minority- and female-owned businesses as the two stumped on opposite sides of Wisconsin this Labor Day. Speaking at Dairyland Power Cooperative in La Crosse, Pence repeatedly praised Trump, including his work to replace NAFTA. In doing so, he took a swipe at Harris, who was one of 10 senators who voted against the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement the Trump administration negotiated. Pence called the deal a win for Wisconsin workers and farmers. “Here at Dairyland Power, you deserve to know Sen. Harris put their radical environmental agenda ahead of Wisconsin dairy and ahead of Wisconsin power,” Pence said. “But under President Donald Trump, we will always put Wisconsin farmers, Wisconsin businesses and Wisconsin families first.” Harris, D-Calif., had two events in the Milwaukee area, the first a tour of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers training facility in Wauwatosa to speak with union members and Wisconsin labor leaders. As part of that stop, she touted three labs as instructors explained what was taught in each classroom.

Harris then attended a roundtable with Black Milwaukee business leaders later in the afternoon to discuss advancing racial equality as part of a Biden-Harris administration’s recovery plan. She told reporters following the roundtable that the conversation included the need to invest in “healthy communities because healthy communities are safe communities.” She also ticked off a series of challenges facing minority- and women-owned businesses as she said a Biden administration would invest in community banks and opportunity zones while helping boost an entrepreneurial class. She said the vast majority of small businesses owned by women and minorities didn’t benefit from the Paycheck Protection Program. “Unlike how Donald Trump has been concerned about the wealthy, the people who are working every day and trying to raise their families don’t have the access to those kinds of relationships and have not received the benefit of something like the PPP.” It was Harris’ first stop in Wisconsin as part of the Democratic ticket. She was last in the state for a political event in November, when she attended a fundraiser for her presidential campaign before dropping out of the race in December. Harris largely ignored questions from reporters other than noting she lived in Wisconsin as a girl. After the roundtable, Harris shouted to supporters who were waiting outside to vote early, noting “I need your help, Milwaukee.” The regions the two campaigns stopped in are both key to their hopes of winning Wisconsin this fall. Trump won western Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District by 4.5 percentage points four years ago, though Democratic Gov. Tony Evers narrowly won it in 2018. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton underperformed across Wisconsin in 2016 compared to Barack Obama, though much of the national attention was on her poor numbers out of Milwaukee County. Pence’s speech was a combination of reminding the crowd how the economy was performing before the pandemic struck and the administration’s efforts to get

the country back on its feet while also taking a shot at Biden over violent protests. Trump visited Kenosha after violent riots broke out in response to a police officer shooting a Black man in the back seven times. Like Trump did during his visit to Kenosha, Pence slammed rioting and looting, saying they must stop now. He said Trump sent 200 federal law enforcement officers to Kenosha to work with the National Guard to quell the violent protests, while saying it took Biden three months to speak up. Even then, Pence added, Biden criticized law enforcement and said there’s systemic racism in the U.S., including bias in police forces. “The people here in Wisconsin know Joe Biden would double down on policies that literally led to violence,” said Pence, who made his seventh visit to Wisconsin of 2020. After landing in Milwaukee, Harris had a private meeting with the family of the man who was shot by Kenosha police. According to the pool report, she met at the airport in person with Jacob Blake’s father and two sisters, as well as members of his legal team. Meanwhile, his mother participated in the meeting by phone. Blake’s legal team called it “an inspirational and uplifting one-hour visit” in which Harris talked about policy changes she and Biden plan to seek. That includes implicit bias training. During her tour of the IBEW facility, Harris said her message was “to express concern for their well-being and of course, for their brother and their son’s well being and to let them know that they have support.” Biden also met with Blake’s family while he was in Kenosha, just after Trump. Trump declined to meet with them, saying the family wanted its legal team to monitor the conversation.

WILD CHOW

I’m a lumpy, bumpy, and dumpy kinda gal I have enjoyed watching videos on Instagram and YouTube of people decorating cakes. It’s so satisfying watching someone else decorate a gourmet cake in seconds. There’s a lady I have been following for a couple of years who goes under the name Neurotic Mom Bakes. She makes cake decorating look like Wild Chow it’s fast and easy and mess less. If you’ve ever Lisa Erickson decorated a cake, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s amazing what people can do. The creativity is astounding and there seems to be no limit. I’ve seen 6-layer decorated cakes that don’t even look real. They look like they are straight out of a storybook. As much as I love watching people make these cakes, I’m not going to make them myself. The mess alone is enough to send me running. The time and investment of money aren’t worth it to me. I’d rather pay someone to make a cake like that or just keep watching them on Instagram. There are enough cakes in my recipe repertoire that taste just as good without the work, time, and investment. Albeit they do not look as pretty. I’ll take “easy” any day over “high maintenance” pretty.

This cake is easy and delicious. Mix and dump—that’s it. The original cake is called a Knobby Cake because of the lumpy appearance. The recipe was originally published in a Farm Journal long ago. Thank you, Barb DeRosier for sharing it with me. Lumpy Bumpy Cinnamon Apple Dump Cake Adapted from the Beskar Family Cookbook, Deb Westfield and Norma Beskar 4 tbsp. butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 cup flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 3 large apples, chopped to measure 3 C. 1/3 cup walnuts 2 tsp vanilla Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare an 8 x 8 baking pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper cut to fit. Spray the sides with cooking spray and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar with a spoon. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. In a bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda; add to the flour mixture. Stir to combine. Add the apples and nuts; lightly fold in. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Cool until warm and serve with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.

The Webster water tower will soon be taken down and painted.

Webster water tower ready for new coat of paint JONATHAN RICHIE SENTINEL EDITOR

The Webster Village Board was told within the next week the process of painting the village water tower will begin. Public Works Director Jay Heyer explained to the board at their September meeting that the crew is currently painting the Frederic water tower. “When they finish down there, they’ll come up here. Should be within the next week and a half,” Heyer told the board. Heyer told the board back in June the water tower

Over the last 30 days the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Burnett County has almost tripled, going from 30 cases in mid-August to over 80 cases today. Burnett County Public Health announced Monday afternoon 82 total lab confirmed positive cases, three COVID-19 related deaths, 33 recovered cases, with 292 cases being monitored and over 2,200 negative tests results. The department also alerted the public to two potential COVID-19 exposure sites in Burnett County. Crow Bar and Lily Lake Tavern in Webster were identified as exposure sites from Sept. 2 through Sept. 5. “If you were at this location during the provided dates AND are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, stay home, do not go to work and contact a healthcare provider to be tested,” a press

‘If you were at this location during the provided dates AND are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, stay home.’ Burnett County Public Health Press Release release stated. “The potential exposure means that an individual or individuals that tested positive for COVID- 19 were at the location on the dates/times given, and you may have been exposed.” Symptoms may develop 2-14 days after exposure, so please continue to monitor yourself. Symptoms of COVID-19 include: • Fever or chills • Cough • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

will need to be brought down for painting. While the tower is being painted there will be no storage. This will result in “wasting” 365,000 gallons of water per day. The village will be bringing in a portable tank from CTW Corporation. It will act like a mini water tower holding 5,000 gallons of water. The estimate from CTW was for $10,700. Heyer said he believes two or three coats of paint will be added to the inside of the tower and three coats of paint will be painted on the outside of the tower.

• Fatigue • Muscle or body aches • Headache • New loss of taste or smell • Sore throat • Congestion or Runny nose • Nausea or Vomiting • Diarrhea The Wisconsin Department of Health (DHS) has released data on where the cases are according to census tracts. The public can go on this site and see where the cases are www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/cases-map.htm. According to the DHS a majority of Burnett County cases are in the eastern and northern region of the county. Six census tracts make up Burnett County. Tracts with less than four cases are suppressed, so only tracts with five or more cases show up with having positive COVID-19 cases. According to the Wisconsin DHS database, two tracts in eastern Burnett County have data available. One tract, 9704, which compromises the northeast corner of the county, including the Village of Webster, Webb Lake and parts of Danbury, has 20 positive cases. The other tract is 9706 just south of 9704 and includes Hertel, Dewey and Roosevelt. There are 25 positive cases in this tract. The DHS says 1,950 people live in tract 9706 with 3,838 living in 9704. Another tract 9707 has 17 cases. This tract stretches the length of the county from Danbury encompassing the Yellow Lake and Clam Lake to the Polk County Line in the Village of Siren. Over the last month that database has grown as more and more cases arise across the state.

You Stop The Spread launches with similar measures JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Wisconsin has launched a new campaign encouraging Wisconsinites to take steps to protect themselves and their communities from the coronavirus. Gov. Tony Evers and Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary-designee Andrea Palm announced the statewide multimedia campaign, You Stop The Spread. The campaign is focused on having Wisconsinites follow simple steps that most have been following for months by encouraging people to wear a mask in public, keeping six feet apart from people when not at home, washing hands for at least 20 seconds and stay home when you can especially when sick. “Stopping the spread of COVID-19 depends on all of us doing our part, but each of us have our own reasons that motivate us,” said Governor Evers. “That’s why this campaign features Wisconsinites from across our state, and we hope folks will participate by posting photos to share with friends and neighbors about why you’re doing your part, too, to help stop the spread.” “This campaign reminds us of the key actions we need to take: wear a face covering, stay 6 feet apart, stay home when possible, and wash our hands,” said

Secretary-designee Palm. “Disease activity is high across the entire state, and You Stop the Spread will reach individuals and communities in every corner of Wisconsin, encouraging us to all work together in taking these actions.” A press release for the campaign shared how you can join the campaign on social media. “Share how you’re doing your part to #YouStopTheSpread on social media. Help us spread the word by taking a picture of yourself (feel free to include friends) doing your part (wearing a mask, washing your hands, staying 6 feet from others) and post on your social media accounts using the hashtag #YouStopTheSpread. Be sure to include why you are doing your part, like: I’m protecting my dad or grandma, supporting essential workers, or helping local businesses stay strong.” “The You Stop the Spread campaign uses a combination of traditional and social media. Residents of Wisconsin will see the messaging on television, radio, billboards, and transit as well as in local newspapers. The campaign will also utilize social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok and Snapchat. Local and tribal health offices will receive a You Stop the Spread toolkit to tailor the message to their communities.”

You Stop The Spread is encouraging people to continue steps taken during the pandemic to keep Wisconsin healthy.

Operation Musky 2020 AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL MARK WALTERS

Hello friends, I believe that this was the 20th year in a row that I have joined my good friends from my days in the Air National Guard at Truax Field in Madison for what we now call Operation Musky. There are about a half dozen of us left that back in the day worked on A10 fighter aircraft “The Warthog.” Over the years my deer camp, “The Red Brush Gang” and some of our friends have joined the group for two days of fishing and fun. This year’s event was held on the Eagle River chain and we stayed at the Hiawatha Motel which was an excellent facility in every way for our outing. Saturday, August 29 High 71, low 47 Today was the first day this summer that I witnessed where a person had to dress warm instead of just shorts and a t-shirt, yesterday was the first. There are 22 of us in this year’s event and my partner is long time buddy Jeff Moll who I hung around with while growing up and we were both at Truax together. Jeff was in Avionics and I was a weapons loader. The hours for the outing are from 6-8 on Saturday and 6-11 on Sunday. Jeff and I were not on the water at 6 but were getting ready with a bunch of other musky hunters and once we hit the Eagle Chain we kept fishing until 8. Last night was a big social event and it is very cool how everyone from our deer camp to past Air Guardsmen is like family for a weekend. We specialize in giving each other as much bs as possible and it happens on shore as well as in the boats! Today Jeff and I were trolling down river and through Eagle River to fish the other end when my good friend from growing up and deer camp, Todd Cibulka and

his son Joey caught up to us. Jeff and I had a plan of fishing the lower end because it does not get fished as much. After an always fun chat Todd passed us and right when we got to where I wanted to start casting, we witnessed Todd catching a 32.5 inch northern pike which would win the northern pike side bet. Another crazy part of this 20year history for me is that I have not ever caught a musky in this tournament. Today I caught like a 26-incher that I did not measure. Rueben Herschleb won this outing last year with a 43.5 inch musky and today he caught a 43.5 inch musky and won it again. My brother Mike caught a musky and my “no good brother-in-law” Dick Schuster caught a 37-incher which took second place. The one time that Jeff and I got out of the boat was on the lower part of the chain and we just pulled the boat up and drank a beer on what was once a beaver hut, but the tree branches from years of cutting with a beavers teeth, swimming to the hut and

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

building have broken down and become earth. Now it could be seen by plenty of fish scales that when the local otter catch fish they eat them on it and I am sure the beaver that made this hut over a period of years are long gone. Tonight, we had what I believe was one of the coolest shindigs of this group’s history. The Hiawatha has a game room with free pool and ping pong. Together this group cooked meals on our grills and we talked and laughed until it was just Jeff Moll, Rob Meier and myself. The laughter was nonstop and for an old timer like me to watch my deer camp and my pals from my military days it was an EXCEPTIONAL NIGHT! My enlistment in the Wisconsin Air National Guard ended in 1987. I have a profound respect for the U.S. military as well as for our good men and women in law enforcement. Without either, there is zero hope of living a quality life in this country and I just pray that everyone understands that. Respect the FLAG! Sunset.

It is a feline frenzy at HSBC! In fact, it seems like they are collecting stray cats and kittens faster than they can find homes. There are currently approximately 45 cats in residence, with a fair share of those being young ones. The recent chilly w weather reminds us tthat now is an excellent ttime to add one of these ffurry lap-warmers to y your home; why not take a advantage of HSBC’s c cat special. All adult cat a adoptions fees have been d discounted nearly 50 perc cent! Take home a kitten ffor two-thirds the regular Sage adoption fee or adopt one at regular price and get a second one free. HSBC has all colors, coat lengths, and sizes to choose from. Mousers not guaranteed, but HSBC felines are all lovers! Like one-year-old Sage, a lot of love in a six-pound package! Sage is a grey and brown tabby with a white-tipped tail. She loves to be the center of attention and gets along well with other cats and children. Sage would do well in almost any home, with a single person or a whole family to love. Although he looks like a fighter, Sylvester is definitely a lover! This former stray came to HSBC with a few battle scars but is all about the cuddles. Sylvester is a two-year-old jetblack longhaired cat with bright yellow eyes and weighs in at around ten pounds. He loves human Sylvester attention, gets along well with his community roommates, and is extremely sweet and affectionate. Feeding all these furry friends takes a lot of vittles!

A new season for Webster runners JONATHAN RICHIE EDITOR@BURNETTCOUNTYSENTINEL.COM

Webster Cross Country has had three meets this year, including their home race at Yellow Lake Golf Course. Coach Roy Ward says his team is working hard and getting back into the swing of things. “So far I am really pleased with the start of our season. We have wonderful athletes who are a joy to be around,” said Ward. “We are struggling to get race ready and battling some injuries. Hoping for continual improvement.” The team does not have enough racers for team points, but they are working hard. Ward explained races look and feel different. “Grantsburg is always brutal and even more so when you don't have a good base of summer miles,” he said. “It was strange to run only HS and not have many runners or spectators in the first wave. The last couple meets it has felt a little more normal.” At the Grantsburg meet Emily Doriott, Senior, and Sophomore Felicity Lamb finished 24 and 25. For the boys, Freshman Adin

Sophomore Dahlia Dorn also ran for Webster in that race and came in 52nd place. At their home race, the 6th Annual James Muus Invite the boys and girls were able to field a whole team, placing fifth and sixth respectively as teams. Dorriot finished in 21st with Lamb coming in 34th place. Freshman Morgan Johnson, Senior Arwen Gustafson and Dorn also completed the home race. For the boys Edwin Janssen came in 20th place with a time of 20:46. Sophomore Caleb Smith came in 25th place, Treague finished 41st and Junior AJ Flatten along with Tristan Maurer made their 2020 debut for the team. When asked about the upcoming meets in Luck, Unity and Clear Lake Ward was excited to have kids racing. “I am looking forward to having the opportunity to race. During this pandemic, we need to find safe ways to get kids participating and physically active.”

OBITUARIES

WARRANTS

Gail Ward Gail was promoted to glory and into the arms of her blessed lord and savior Jesus Christ on Sept. 7, 2020. She was born April 13, 1947 in Mishawaka, Indiana to the parents Willis and Marie Nee: Riemer Poor. Gail’s ffather died when she was very young and her mother v rremarried Richard Poor and the family relocated to a C Cambria, WI. In Gail’s early years she a and her brother, Bill, cut w wood and shoveled long d driveways to help out w while their mother worked ffull-time. She grew up fast h helping to cook and care for h her three younger sisters a and brother. Her childhood was tough, but her mother assured her that God would care for them. Gail was an active member of Randolph United Methodist Church, where she learned to turn her hardships into strengths and become the compassionate person everyone knew her to be. Gail graduated from Cambria High School and with a loan from Grandpa Jung went to beauty school in Milwaukee. There, she worked as a nanny to help pay her way through school. In February of 1968, she met the man she would come to regard as the love of her life. On April 12 of the next year, she and Steve Ward were married. They started a family in Milwaukee with the birth of their first child, Lori, in 1972. They welcomed their second born child, Roy, and bought their first house in Appleton in 1974. There they joined the First United Methodist Church, forging long-lasting friendships and solidifying her relationship with the lord. Gail was also fortunate in joining a group of ladies there who remodeled the nursery of the church and effectively became a second family to her. Their twins, Amy and Heather, were introduced to the world in 1976. Gail and Steve realized they were their happiest while serving the lord and in 1990 began pastoring a small church in Black Creek. The next year they were called to serve in Siren and Lewis. Gail had true love and appreciation for both God and God’s people. During the course of their ministry: she led bible studies, lady prayer groups, mission work, and helped organize numerous community fundraisers and meals. Gail and her close friend Mary served the young members of the church by leading its youth

group. Additionally, she and her sewing sisters lovingly crafted 250 quilts each year to be exported to Mexico. Her devotion to others clearly impacted the lives of many deserving souls. Gail was well known for her kind and magnanimous spirit, serving as an inspiration to all who knew her. Hospitality was one of her many gifts and loving children was central to her core principals. In her youth, Gail dreamed of becoming and one day became a loving mother and second mom to so many more. Her home was extended to anyone in need and whoever desired to feel welcome and fed. Over the last 12 years, Roy and Papa’s cross-country team wouldn’t miss Grandma Gail’s annual mostaccioli dinner. Her love of cooking and giving to others could be seen in strawberry jam, canned peaches, frozen sweet corn, tomato sauce, frozen beans, banana bread that she loved sharing with others. She lived by the tenet that love shouldn’t be hoarded and isn’t really love unless and until it is given away to others. Gail enjoyed gardening, sunsets, time with friends and family, sewing, golfing, playing cards, camping, quilting, puzzles, cooking, baking, and doing all things in the service of others. Her recent years were spent surrounded by adoring grandchildren who will deeply miss her affection, laughter, encouragement, and wonder regarding their uniqueness as little people she loved. Her greatest joy came from her time spent with them, reveling in their riotous presence and being the recipient of their unyielding love. Gail was preceded in death by her parents, Marie & Willis Poor and dear friends, Mary Yambrick, Angie Chelmo, and Marilee Kuhn. She’s survived by her husband, Steve; her four children, Lori (Web) Ward-Macomber, Roy (Krissa) Ward, Amy (Jamie) Ward-Kelley, Heather (Tom) Andrew; grandchildren, Webster (Tessa) Macomber, Kelsey (Jason Harrington) Macomber, Nathanial, Elijiah, Fiona, Amelia, Gail, Evelyn, Madison, and Isabela; great grandchildren Bowen and Spencer; siblings, Bill Poor, Sylvia (Dan) Swan, Becky (Brian) Jacobs, Jeanie Korth; Aunt Patsy Prill; and many nieces, nephews, and friends. We miss and love her and feel comfort in the knowledge we will see her again. An outdoor visitation was held on Sunday, Sept. 13, 2020 from 1- 3 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Falun with the service beginning at 3 p.m. Per the family’s request, guests attending in person were asked to wear masks and respect social distancing.

REWARD Reward for information leading to the arrest of the cowardly perpetrator who attacked a person from behind and applied choke hold. The person passed out immediately. He came to on the floor with a kind nurse that was talking to and checking on him–a person we would like to talk to and thank. This happened on Saturday night, August 22 at The Cabaret, Webb Lake. No fault on The Cabaret. Sadly, the victim has had little to no support from people that had witnessed all or part of the assault. Sign of our times. Our family is having a hard time with this. Any information or assistance will be rewarded and appreciated from the family. If you have any information, please call Burnett County, WI/Siren Police at 715-349-2121, Case Number 20-5623 or call Ron at 612-723-1323. All information is in strict confidence. I have set aside $1000 for the arrest of this perpetrator.

NOTICE FALL/HUNTING RIDING SEASON

SUBMITTED

Burnett County Food Pantry and Caring Hearts Thriftshop would like to say thank you Burnett County Food Pantry and Caring Hearts Thriftshop would like to thank the “1st Annual Pandemic Ride” Riders for their generosity towards our Burnett County Food Pantry. The food collected will help feed families here in Burnett County. The 1st Annual Pandemic Ride was hosted at The MidTown Bar. Pictured: Josie Penberthy, owner/Director of Caring Hearts Thriftshop and Burnett County Food Pantry; and Sue Houston, 1st annual Pandemic Ride Coordinator.

From September 16 through November 30 the Burnett County Forest woods trails and County Forest roads are open for ATV/UTV use. What this means is that you can ride your registered ATV/UTV on any woods trail, snowmobile trail and ATV trail located on County Forest Lands as long as it is not bermed, gated, or signed as closed; and is at least eight feet wide. (A good rule of thumb is that if you can drive your truck down the trail, then you can take your ATV/UTV down it.) Reminder: No off-road motorcycles are allowed on our trails or on Burnett County Forest Lands at any time. No off-trail use is allowed and operation on private lands is illegal unless you have permission from the private landowner. It is very important to note that all of these trails are currently multi-use trails. This means that any street legal, licensed vehicle can use these trails during this time, (trucks for example). It’s also important to note that these trails are no longer being maintained during this time of year. For these reasons we call the State-Funded Summer Use ATV Trail System closed, even though you can still ride the majority of these same trails because they are located on County Forest Lands and township roads that currently allow for the use of ATV/UTVs during this time of year. Burnett County Forest Lands are designated in light green on the Summer-Use Trail Map, which can be found on our website at www.burnettcounty.com/ATVmap. Also note that ATV/UTV use is NOT allowed on the Gandy Dancer Trail at this time of year, except north of Hwy 77 into Minnesota. Many townships allow the use of the town roads. Please contact individual townships for their rules and regulations if you have any questions. Contact information can be found on our website at www.burnettcounty.com/townships. Remember, it is your responsibility to know where you are and whose property you are on. If you are unsure of where Burnett County Forest Land is located, please refer to a Burnett County Plat Book, as this is your best resource. If you have any questions, please contact the Burnett County Forest & Parks Department at (715) 349-2157. You may also sign up for e-mail or text noti¿cations of trail conditions on our website at www.burnettcounty.com/notifyme. Thank you, Burnett County Forest & Parks Staff WNAXLP

Monk and samurai Pastor Tom Cook United Methodist Church

I really like to find stories that have a good message. I believe this is one. There was a monk who was sitting and meditating. His eyes were closed and he was deep in thought. A samurai came upon the monk and moving silently approached the monk. When he was very close to him he barked out what sounded like a command, “Teach me about heaven and hell!” The monk was startled but looked up at the warrior and said with a steady strength in his voice, “YOU want ME to teach YOU! Impossible! Your are without honor. You have no courage and your loyalty is wanting.”

These words stung the smurai and anger arose in his heart. These were the things he most valued and this monk had no recognition of them or of him. The monk continued, “Your feet and hands have dirt on them and your sword is rusty.” That was the final straw. The samurai felt that he was totally disrespected. A soft hiss told the monk that the sword was being brought to a place where the warrior with one quick motion would remove his head from his shoulders. Before the blow was struck he loked the samurai in the eyes and said, ‘That is hell!”

The samurai’s disciplined mind immediately grasped that the monk had risked his life to teach him. He was so moved by being so cared for that he began to weep. The monk looked into his eyes a second time and said, “That’s heaven.”As the people who have a savior who gave himself that we might know God’s love, we know that this is the kind of living to which we are called as we seek to image our God. Paul says, “Owe no one anything, except to love one another...” Romans 13:8a

National Farm Safety and Health Week is a great opportunity to stress the importance of keeping our farm families safe and healthy. The agriculture industry is unique in that so many of its members live, work and play at the worksite. This often increases the level to which farmers and their families are exposed to dangerous chemicals, machinery and livestock. Because of this potentially hazardous environment, it’s essential that each and every person on the farm is experienced and knowledgeable in the area of farm safety.
