Webb Lake Parade

SEAN DEVLIN PHOTO

Cici Abbott, center, and pals Donna Bosman (l) and Dawn Petersen wore their ﬁnest St. Patrick’s regalia to note Cici’s role in helping to start the Webb Lake St. Patrick’s Day parade and celebration way back in 1984. Several thousand of her closest friends attended.

WEBB LAKE—To catch a bird’s eye view of Webb Lake on St. Patrick’s Day weekend, one would think this town was a bustling, overpopulated, rather green place. On a normal day, the population numbers just over three-hundred and the air is mellow with the sounds of the Northwoods. But on March 18th this year, the quantity of people soared well into the thousands. The temperature hesitated to reach any further than the mid-30s despite the long presence of the sun. However, the cold was not a call for alarm; rather, it offered people the opportunity to chat around bonfires and bundle up in Lucky Charm pajamas and green snowpants. The parade commenced at 1 p.m., but the streets and The Cabaret Bar were packed well before noon. The air smelled of mini donuts and brats. Under a red tent people made green kettle corn. Buses from New Richmond, Siren and many other places parked alongside the road next to cars from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan. Friends hugged, embraced and exclaimed that they had not seen each other since the previous year’s parade.

Woman dies in one-car rollover accident

What’s that sweet smell coming from that shack in the woods? BY SEAN DEVLIN, EDITOR

Terry Felland of Hudson checks the sap bags on one of 100 maples trees he and Grantsburg area chums have tapped on Maplewood Road south of the village.

GRANTSBURG— On a drive down Maplewood Road, a passerby can see the prodigious hard-maple trees marking the land under a northern sky. At a closer look, one might spot dashes of blue hanging off the bark like outturned pockets. Get closer and you’ll see the beginning of something sweet. A few yards off the road on a makeshift driveway sits a small, rusted-silver hut—maybe room for just two people inside. Attached is a chimney of steel that soon will be the site SEE SWEET SMELL, PAGE 13

Among the parade viewers was Cici Abbott, who claims to have founded the parade back in 1984. “When I moved out of the Cities I couldn’t go to the parade there anymore, so I made my own,” she said. While she claims the parade began as an event centered around children, she said it made her happy to see so many people – young and old – enjoying themselves. From her shamrock shawl to a green hat bedecked with green shrubbery to her green tutu – Cici was one of the bestdressed at the event. Children lined the streets with open grocery bags to catch and collect candy offered by those in cars, floats and ATVs that flashed their St. Paddy’s Day cheer down the street. Even the pooches were bedazzled to join in on the mosaic of green; one labrador sported springy antennas topped with flashing shamrocks. Many others fashioned bandanas emblazoned with phrases such as, ‘I’m Lucky!’ The mood was casual, the parade tasteful, and the tradition of the Webb Lake St. Patrick’s Day parade was yet again enjoyed.

We apologize to Mr. Grindell and our readers for the error. Mr. Grindell submitted his profile statement on time, and it was the Sentinel’s oversight that it was not printed.

K-9 ‘Tracker’ and officer continue their training

SUBMITTED

Grantsburg High School Choir members took a group photo at Millennium Park in Chicago in front of artist Anish Kapoor’s 110-ton sculpture ‘Cloud Gate,’ a.k.a. ‘The Bean.’ The group toured and sang in Chicago and relaxed one day at Wisconsin Dells.

Grantsburg High School Choir sings, tours Chicago GRANTSBURG—74 Grantsburg High School Choir members and adult chaperones loaded two coach buses Friday, March 10, for a four-day trip to Chicago and Wisconsin Dells. The choir travels every other year. Highlights of the trip included a masterclass at Vandercook School of Music in Chicago; attending a dinner show at the Drury Lane Dinner Theatre; performances at Bethany Retirement Community and

First Unitarian Church of Chicago; visits to the Museum of Science and Industry, The Shedd Aquarium, Willis Tower, Millennium Park and a day at Kalahari Water Park and Resort in the Dells. “The students were exemplary in their performances and their behavior,” said Director Linda Benge. “The choir and I thank the community for its support. These trips provide great experiences and wonderful memories for all involved.”

SIREN—Burnett County Sheriff Department’s newest member, the K-9 officer named “Tracker,” began his next phase of training this week accompanied by his K-9 handler, Deputy Mitch Olson. During this next training phase, Tracker and Officer Olson will work on Tracker’s obedience, his tracking abilities, how to search buildings,

how to search articles including objects and clothing, and apprehension (how to grasp and hold a suspect in his jaws). The training is intense and will require some weeks to complete. A K-9 requires a large variety of equipment for his safety, comfort, security and transportation. The squad vehicle in which Officer Olson will transport Tracker has a K-9 kennel installed in the cab. Twothirds of the seat is Tracker’s kennel and the other third is for transporting suspects. Usually the K-9 handler is unable to transport suspects in the same vehicle as the K-9, but this new style of kennel insert allows Officer Olson to transport both Tracker and the suspect. Also recently installed in the squad was a “door popper.” This device allows Deputy Olson to get Tracker out of the squad remotely if he is needed. The squad also has a heat alarm. If the squad gets too hot, the alarm sounds and rolls down the windows automatically. Officer Olson says the K-9 decals are now on the squad, too. “They look great!” he added. “Tracker is shedding like crazy with this warm weather!”

A cheap trip that doesn’t require airfare

What are you reading this week? We’ve all been there— pillaging Netflix, scanning the TV guide, or even tossing plastic movie cases aside in a bin that takes up half the aisle in an over-sized convenience store. We spout lines like, “I don’t think I would like that,” or “I dunno, that one’s just not really my type.” Then we plop down on the sofa and watch reruns, scan Facebook and listen for the latest from Real World: Washington (don’t get excited, I’m not going near politics). It is funny how even the most avid reader can, at times, forget there are volumes of worlds enclosed between quarter inches of paper, stacked waiting for us to explore. I’ll admit I go through periods when I won’t touch a book for a few weeks and I’ll loot Netflix of every title I deem laudable enough to devote a few hours. Sentinel So, what I am offering you is the latest buoy that hauled me back to my Editor bookcase: Angela’s Ashes by Frank McSean Devlin Court. What is interesting about this book is that it’s not my usual typof book. It is nonfiction. I cannot recall a time before this book that I picked up a piece of nonfiction without it being assigned to me in a class. No reason. When it comes to books, I read fiction. But, this book, with McCourt’s uncanny ability to recall a plethora of palpable events from his early life, caught me offguard and stifled my intentions of finishing any task until I finished reading. My dedication to those pages is similar to the obsession that one succumbs to when they stumble upon a good, thought-out TV series, but better. I must admit, part of my curiosity for Angela’s Ashes is that much of it takes place in Limerick, Ireland – another home of mine. Reading about streets and sights that I witnessed in own time adds to the esteem I feel for a book. I feel close to the writer as he whispers secrets in my ear that seem so imperative to life, like wood for a fire. Now, I won’t digress into a long-winded synopsis of the book. The contents are for you to discover, if you wish. I will say that if you are not used to reading Irish-English, you will be by the end of your new adventure. The book spans from the marriage of McCourt’s parents, both Irish immigrants in New York, all the way back to Ireland and through the first 18 years of McCourt’s life. It’s a memoir of an Irish Catholic childhood that is filled with poverty, hilarious enlightenment and prose that reads like music. If you don’t believe me, read it. If you enjoy Angela’s Ashes, don’t worry, McCourt managed to write two more memoirs before his death in 2009. I say all of this because now that I’ve enjoyed this book, I’m back spending time with my bookcase, living the lives of countless other people and thinking about my own life in a different way. So, folks, I ask you now, what are you reading? What books are causing you to occupy different spaces on Earth and live entirely in your interpretation of someone else’s words? Let me know and I’ll keep you posted on what I’m reading each week. I feel like catching a glimpse of what it’s like to be the person who escaped the sinking of his own ship... I hope you will all feel welcome to leave your comments. You can reach me by email at editor@burnettcountysentinel.com, telephone 715-463-2341. I’ll chat with you soon.

A true classic BY TOM STANGL FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

Regular readers of this column know that I enjoy movies of all kinds. About 25 years ago, when my family lived in a town of 222 people, I bartered with an advertiser to get a satellite TV system. There was no way that my small town would ever get cable television. The vote on the franchise was announced after my system got installed. I had one of those eight-foot black mesh dishes that picked up programming on the “C” band, used by broadcasters to send signals to cable TV systems. To find the programming, you had to move the dish to a different posiFrom the Publisher’s tion in the south sky to find the correct satellite. Desk In those days, you could witness news reporters fidgeting before remotes, see Tom Stangl news anchors have fits of anger during i lb commercial breaks and even find some good programming to watch. It was during these days that my wife and I discovered movies from Hollywood’s golden age. We watched American Movie Classics (AMC) with host Bob Dorian, who would introduce movies like “Bringing Up Baby” with some background and trivia about the film or the production. AMC championed film preservation and restoration. I found a wealth of movies that my parents had enjoyed in their youth. Truly great movies. A few years later, Ted Turner, who had purchased the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) film library, launched Turner Classic Movies, a competitor to AMC. Turner, who started the Cable News Network (CNN) among several other channels, was known as a flamboyant entrepreneur. Turner also owned the Atlanta Braves and sailed yachts in the America’s Cup races in the late 1970s.

ADVERTISING & NEWS DEADLINE IS MONDAY AT NOON

Turner had the idea that if the black and white classics were “colorized,” audiences of today would be more likely to watch. This idea ignited a firestorm of free publicity for Turner, a shrewd businessman. TCM launched on April 14, 1994, with a dapper and knowledgeable host, Robert Osborne. A former actor and journalist, Osborne had reported on entertainment for nearly 20 years before coming to TCM. Like Dorian at AMC, Osborne would introduce the prime time films, sharing some of his vast knowledge of Hollywood history. As TCM grew in popularity, Osborne branched out, interviewing stars from the movies that were being aired. Every Saturday night, Osborne and a co-host would introduce “The Essentials,” one of 52 movies that had a distinctive quality or pop culture impact. These introductions would delve a bit deeper into the film and its impact. TCM added movie festivals, cruises and even bus tours of New York and Los Angeles. Osborne died of natural causes earlier this month at the age of 84. He had curtailed his work at TCM nearly a year earlier. The visual mediums of film and television lend themselves to a personal connection for the viewer. I truly enjoyed Osborne’s wit and insights and feel like an uncle in my family has passed away. One of the great things about film is that we can still see and hear the talents of those who are no longer with us. Some DVDs of classic movies contain an introduction by Robert Osborne, so he will be with us forever as well. A true classic, Osborne will be missed. The channel has added additional hosts, but I will always think of Bob Osborne when I watch TCM. 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 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.

BURNETT COUNTY SENTINEL

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Supports Mogen

Dear Editor: I am the senior partner and president of Schofield, Parent, Mayer & Huff, S.C., a firm practicing law in the areas of family, criminal defense and civil litigation. I appear regularly in 13 counties of western and northwestern Wisconsin. I was privileged to receive my license to practice law in this state in 1989. As a born and raised Wisconsinite, I am proud of just how fortunate we are to possess the jurists presiding over our courts. I can unequivocally state that Melissia Mogen will continue our good fortune, and that she will be an excellent jurist. It is my high honor to support Melissia for the Burnett County Judgeship resulting from Judge Kutz’s retirement. It was actually Judge Kutz that first introduced me to Melissia almost seven years ago. I recall his admonition to me to “watch out for this one, she will test your metal.” He was right. Since then, Melissia and I have worked together as co-counsel and have been adversaries. Many of us went to law school because we wanted to make a difference. Along the way, for many and for many different reasons, that changes. However, I can confirm from firsthand knowledge, that making a difference is still a driving motivation for Melissia. There is clearly a voice within Melissia that drives her to do the right thing as a lawyer – help people find justice. In practice, too many lawyers forget that and their entire focus is on advocating their client’s position. While Melissia is an extremely strong advocate for her clients, she never loses sight of the big picture. As a judge, there is no question in my mind that Melissia will be an instrument of justice, every day, in every case. Melissia will make a positive difference in the lives of the citizens that come before her. During my nearly 28 years as an attorney, I have learned that having more years of experience practicing law does not necessarily equate to being a better lawyer. Being a student of the law and believing in the system and what you do in that system are much more accurate measurements of a lawyer’s abilities. Melissia excels above most in these areas. Melissia has been practicing for nearly 14 years. Her work product is superior because she possesses a keen legal mind. Melissia has demonstrated time and time again her ability to analyze complicated legal issues and her uncanny ability to recall facts and the law. Melissia has the appropriate judicial temperament as well. Melissia has the inner strength to handle the pressures that come with the job such as deadlines, self-represented litigants, difficult decisions, fear of making a wrong decision, dealing with horrific crimes committed against children and by children, sending someone to prison and public criticism. Melissia has a good sense of humor, is self disciplined, loves her family and is an outstanding mother. Simply put, Melissia is an extremely well-rounded and very grounded individual whose commitment to the law, her clients, her community and her family is deep and unwavering. The citizens of Burnett County could not ask for a better jurist. James T. Parent Menomonie

Who gets to pollute... for free? Dear Editor: Good question. The answer should be “no one.” We can’t dispose of our sewage in the lake, toss our garbage along the roadside, or drive a car that belches dirty exhaust — at least not without consequences. Anyone old enough to remember the 1960s knows how dense smog choked Los Angeles skies, the Cuyahoga

River in Ohio literally burned, Lake Erie was declared dead, and junkyards and litter lined our highways. Pollution had reached a level that the public outcry demanded solutions, and so the EPA was born. Industries had to clean up their acts or pay the fines. However, there is one major industry that is allowed to pollute with impunity — the fossil fuel industry. The damage done to the environment, air and water quality, and public health is undeniable. The amount of suffering and financial burden from illnesses caused by carbon dioxide and other air pollutants released from the mining and burning of fossil fuels is huge. Erosion, water pollution, and scarred landscapes are also byproducts of mining, and the consequences of high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere add a new dimension — a warming planet. A warmer planet means more droughts, floods, famines, wildfires, sea rises; loss of vital ecosystems; and increased national security risks as livable land, food and water become scarce. Who pays the price for all these negative consequences? We, the American public — not the polluters. So how do we hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for these consequences? We need to do what respected, knowledgeable experts are advocating — put a price on carbon pollution. The World Bank, Pope Francis, Rex Tillerson, (former Exxon-Mobil CEO), Dr. James Hanson, (pre-eminent climate scientist), top military leaders and Republican Statesmen George Shultz and James Baker have all come out publically favoring a price on carbon as the best approach to solving the problems of carbon pollution. Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a nonpartisan organization, has a Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal that will put a steadily rising fee on carbon emissions, returning the money to every household in the U.S. People will have money in their pockets to pay for rising energy costs. Some of the other positive results would be an incentive to quickly transition to renewable energy; creation of new jobs; energy independence; improved public health; cleaner environment; a safer world; fewer extreme weather events and the costs of cleaning them up. To learn more about this Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal, go to: www.citizensclimatelobby.org. A group of U.S. House of Representative members are working together to find viable, market-based solutions to climate change. They call themselves the Climate Solutions Caucus and it includes an even number of Republicans and Democrats, a truly bipartisan group. If you are tired of paying for the damages caused by carbon pollution, let Representative Sean Duffy know. Call him at 202-225-3365 and tell him it’s time that the fossil fuel industry pays for its pollution. Then ask him to join the Climate Solutions Caucus and become a leader in solving climate change.

Status of K-12 education in USA To the Editor: This is a response to recent letters from Ms. Miller and Ms. Mosher. Where are we at? The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide exam administered every three years. It measures 15-year olds in 72 countries. About 540,000 students took the exam in 2015. The 2015 PISA report saw an 11-point drop since 2012 in average U.S. student scores for math, while remaining relatively flat in reading and science. Our worldwide education rankings are Math #42, Reading #24, Science #25. We are not competitive. Why? Money? No. Rigor? Yes.

Wow!

Only

Holtz will help all schools do better

Dear Editor: It’s very important that we elect Dr. Lowell Holtz as our State Superintendent of Public Instruction on April 4. For the past eight years, the current superintendent, Dr. Evers, has resisted the legislature and the governor’s efforts to make needed reforms to our public education system. We need to end the gridlock and let education thrive again in Wisconsin, by electing Dr. Lowell Holtz as our Superintendent of Public Instruction. The incumbent Dr. Evers is a staunch defender of the status quo in public education. Example: The Milwaukee Public School system (MPS). MPS is a disaster that drains money from every other school district in the state, including here in the opposite corner of the state (thank goodness we are in the opposite corner, but it doesn’t protect us completely). According to the National Center for Education Statistics, MPS has the worst achievement gap in the nation, yet Evers has obstructed efforts by the governor and legislature to turn it around. Dr. Lowell Holtz has the know-how and the leadership to not just help MPS out of the ditch, but to help all of our schools do better than ever before. He knows rural schools as well as urban, having served with distinction in both. He’ll work with the legislature and the governor instead of against them. That will help every school in the state. Dr. Holtz is what Wisconsin needs. Holtz is who Wisconsin needs. Please join me in voting for Lowell Holtz on April 4. Paul Riemer Siren

Where is each state at? Fifty state Governors and their K-12 educational heads came together to solve a United States educational problem. As of 2015, 43 states are still in some phase of adjusting to Common Core Standards. These standards only focus on two of four critical factors, English and math. When the states did not have the funding to develop the tests, the federal government stepped in. That action violated our state rights. The U.S. Constitution states very clearly that if a power is not defined, that power belongs to the states and NOT the federal government. This is why the Republicans are in the process of withdrawing their support to Common Core Standards. Which state has the best process? We cannot tell, because every state has different standards. Best estimate is Massachusetts. Why Massachusetts? Where does the federal program “No Child Left Behind” fit in? The federal government needs to stay out of state education, because our Constitution says so. How many years, not to mention our time and tax dollars, have they been beating this program to death? It has been 13 years. Where does ACT testing fit in? All 50 states are doing it and all four key factors – English, math, reading, and science – are tested. Most colleges require ACT or SAT scores for entrance readiness. Thirteen states are already at 100 percent of students taking one of the tests. The USA solution is 100 percent testing by each state by approving funding. Wisconsin was the first to adopt Common Core and total testing of ACT. Thank you, State Education Supt. Tony Ivers, head of WI DPI. You are the proven leader. In summary, ACT testing and state implementation of “Aspire/ACT” will tell us where each state is at and the preparation level of all our children. Rich Hess Trade Lake

2017 Spring Election Candidate Proﬁles Siren School Board-2 seats MARK PETTIS-Incumbent I am running for a seat on the Siren School Board of Education again because we as a Board have a few more initiatives to complete. Our current Board, along with the Administrators, are working well together a and we want to continue this rrelationship we have with the E Educators, Students, Parents, S School Employees and the Comm munity. One item we have been add dressing is the lack of Federal ffunding that is owed the Disttrict for the land the Federal G Government owns in the Sirren School District. The Siren S School District is owed almost Mark Pettis $600,000.00 but only receives about 27 percent of that amount. We are working with our friends in Madison, as well as members of Congress, to fulfill the Government’s obligation and fully fund our school. Without the full payment from the Federal Government, Siren School District taxpayers are at a disadvantage in our ability to provide programs for our students. Thank you for the confidence you have shown me and current Board. I am asking for your vote this April. PEGGY MOORE-Incumbent My name is Peggy Moore and I am running for re-election to the Siren School Board. I have been serving on the Board for the past four years. I believe that we have made some great changes within the District in this time and hope to continue on this path. I believe the climate within the District is much improved and we work hard to be transparent in what we are doing at the Board level and thoughout the District. I feel that while community relations are improving, we still have some work to do. I feel that the Community Service requirement for our high school students is a great step in the right direction. We are looking for cost effective ways to offer the students opportunities for growth. Whether through ITV

c classes, AP classes, music, techn nology or the ALC, we are open tto ideas to give our students w what they need to succeed. We are facing challenges with tthe budget, with our building a and systems and the fact that m maintenance has been put off ffor a few years. We are working a at getting things “caught up” Peggy Moore and setting up a budget for future maintenance issues. As a board, we are working together to be more “proactive” and less “reactive.” We listen to our administrators, teachers, students and community members and take all of these factors into consideration when making decisions. I believe I am approachable, open to ideas, and willing to listen to the needs of the community. I would like to continue to represent the School District of Siren and I would appreciate your support in the upcoming election.

Webster School Board-2 seats BOB R. CARLSON-Incumbent I’ve served on the school board since being elected the spring of 2011 and have great relationships with my fellow board members, administrators and staff. My experience on the school b board helps me to learn about w what is happening in the school d district and our community. I was assigned to seven diffferent committees during my ttime on the board, in addition tto my school board member dutties. The most important part of b being a school board member iis understanding the different rroles board members, administtration, staff, parents and comBob R.

ber has in the process is key to getting things done for the district. I am a great listener, learner and business owner who wants to serve this community and see it succeed.

TERRY LARSEN-Incumbent I graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Superior with a business degree and have lived in the Webster School District for the past 43 years. My wife Brenda taught Spanish in Webster for 20 years, and my children and grandchildren a attend or have graduated from W Webster. Serving on the board and seve eral committees, I believe I have h helped guide and create policies tthat have put the district in a b better position financially and e educationally compared to surrrounding districts. The guidelines on running tthe school district have changed drastically in recent years. The d school board is asked to provide Terry Larsen more guidance both financially and administratively. The decisions and policies that are made are influential for many years to come and they must be dealt with by attention to detail, fairness and common sense. I believe one of the biggest issues in the coming years will be attracting and retaining qualified teachers for certain areas of education. Being a parent, grandparent, taxpayer and businessman working with budgets, employees and customers, I feel that with your help I can help make the decisions for the future that will get our kids the best education for the monies we have to work with.

State superintendent-1 seat BURNETT COUNTY—Wisconsin’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tony Evers, will face challenger Lowell Holtz in the April 4 election. TONY EVERS-Incumbent A lifelong Wisconsin resident, Evers was first elected Superintendent of Public Instruction in April 2009, and re-elected in April 2013. He began his c career as a classrroom teacher, and h has since worked a as a principal, sschool district adm ministrator, Coope erative Educationa al Service Agency ((CESA) administtrator and deputy Tony Evers state superintendent. Evers was born in Plymouth, Wis., graduated from Plymouth High School and attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, earning three degrees: a B.A., M.Ed., and Ph.D. in educational administration. Evers supports Common Core standards and in 2014 opposed attempts by some Republican legislators and Governor Scott Walker to create a state board capable of overriding the superintendent to re-write education standards. The legislation, Assembly Bill 617 (2013),

didn’t make it out of committee before the legislature adjourned. Wisconsin was an early adopter of Common Core and Evers has supported the standards since 2011. Evers has said private-school voucher programs create “more choices for the few without focusing on their constitutional obligation to serve all of our children.” His campaign website says nothing explicit on vouchers, but does say, “I will continue to stand up for our children, and do what is right for the future of our State no matter their financial circumstance. I will vigorously defend our public schools, so we never pit the haves against the have nots.”

LOWELL HOLTZ-Challenger Lowell Holtz is running on a platform of change. He promises to embrace local c control, improve sstudent perform mance, and atttract and retain high-quality tteachers.

superintendent in urban, suburban and rural districts. He also taught as an adjunct instructor in a graduate educational program. He holds a bachelors degree from Concordia University, M. S. from UW Madison and D. Ed. from Cardinal Stritch University. In February, Holtz called Common Core a bait and switch program and announced that, if elected, he would abandon the academic standards. His campaign website vows to “believe in our neighbors, not central planners” and says, “local control must be returned to parents and their communities.” Holtz appears to support diverting dollars from existing public schools to private ones via a voucher system. On his campaign website he promises to “advocate for strong schools, no matter if they are public, private, parochial, charter, or voucher schools.”

Backpack Program plans May fundraiser GRANTSBURG—The Alliance of Grantsburg Area Churches wishes to thank the community of Grantsburg and the surrounding areas, the Grantsburg Legion and those visiting and participating in the December craft sale. Thanks also to the many volunteers from the participating churches who donated their time, effort and an abundance of baked goods to a very successful first fundraising event. The Bake Sale at the Legion, in connection with the Annual Craft Sale, raised $1,868 for the Grantsburg Lunch Backpack program. Additional funds were received shortly after the event to increase the total to $2,000. The Alliance members are very pleased and encouraged by the generous response and wish to extend thanks and gratitude to all. The Alliance is working on its next fundraiser and hopes to plan one special community fundraising event per quarter to benefit this wonderful program in our community.

was alone in the vehicle. The Burnett County Sheriff’s Office report states a 2002 Ford Explorer was traveling westbound on State Highway 48 when the driver failed to negotiate a curve near County Road Y, left the roadway and overturned, striking a tree with its roof. The driver was 51-year-old Dawn Ellingson of Big Lake, Minn. She was pronounced dead at the scene by the Burnett County Medical Examiner. The accident occurred about 10:45 a.m. A Sentinel reporter at the accident scene at 11 a.m. observed the vehicle had come to rest with its roof against a tree in the front yard of the home at 12315 State Road 48. The house is situated close to the road midway through the curve. From tire tracks leading off the road into the yard, the Sentinel reporter observed the vehicle was traveling northbound on State Road 48 when the driver lost control, swerved west, ran over a fire number yard sign and struck the tree. Although Ellingson was alone in the vehicle, first reports were that children were also in the vehicle. That was later determined to be false. Burnett County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation and crash site reconstruction. Grantsburg Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Tips Charitable Contributions

Were you charitable in 2016? If so, there are many ways you can deduct your contributions to lighten your tax burden. How and why you decide to do so depends on your goals and financial situation. Regardless of the amount you have contributed, the Internal Revenue Service requires you to maintain a bank record, payroll deduction record or written communication from the charitable organization receiving your donation. Keeping these materials is necessary should you deduct a contribution of cash, check or other monetary gift. Here are four quick tips to keep in mind when it comes time to deduct your charitable contribution: Know Your Form There are specific steps to an official deduction, but they are relatively simple to perform. To deduct a charitable contribution, you must file Form 1040 and itemize deductions on Schedule A. If your goal is a legitimate tax deduction, then you must be giving to a qualified organization, according to the IRS. Know the Rules If you’re looking to make a legitimate charitable contribution that can lead to a deduction, there are a few rules to keep in mind. The IRS prohibits you from deducting contributions made to specific individuals, political organizations and candidates. See IRS Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, for rules on what constitutes a qualified organization.

Merchandise & Fair Market Value If you receive a benefit because of your contribution, such as merchandise, tickets or other goods and services, you can deduct only the amount that exceeds the fair market value of the benefit received, according to the IRS. Fair market value is defined as the price at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and seller. Consider Your Total There are figures to keep in mind when claiming deductions for contributions of cash or property. For contributions equaling $250 or more, the IRS requires a bank record, payroll deduction records or written acknowledgment from the qualified organization showing the amount of cash and description of property contributed. If your total deduction for all noncash contributions for the year is over $500, you must attach IRS Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, to your return.

McNally Industries Supervisor Randy Kabrick gets Patriot Award GRANTSBURG — Production Supervisor Randy Kabrick of McNally Industries of Grantsburg was honored Tuesday, March 7 with the Patriot Award from the Employers Support of Guard and Reserve (ESGR). Kabrick received a framed certificate and lapel pin from ESGR’s Tim Kessler. The Patriot Award to Kabrick reflects his and McNally Industries’ efforts to support a citizen warrior through a wide-range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families and granting leaves of absence if needed. Kabrick is the supervisor of a McNally Industries employee (who will remain unnamed) who is serving in the Air

Force Reserve. He was called to active duty in January and is serving in the Arab country of Qatar, situated on a desert peninsiula in the Persian Gulf. ESGR is the lead Defense Department office that promotes cooperation and understanding between civilian employers and their National Guard and Reserve employees. Kabrick was nominated by a McNally employee who also serves in the reserve. “It is an honor to support the needs of our employees who have military service obligations” said McNally Industries General Manager Jim Segelstrom, “especially when the Department of Defense is such a large part of our business.”

Grantsburg Police seek suspect in credit card theft

GRANTSBURG — Burnett County Circuit Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of a Minnesota man, charging him with the alleged theft and use of credit cards in Burnett County. According to the criminal complaint, Jonathan James Peltier, 34 of Columbia Heights, Minn., has been charged with two counts of “Unauthorized Use of an Entity’s Identifying Information,” a Class H Felony; and one count of “Theft by Acquisition of a Credit Card,” a misdemeanor. Grantsburg Police Department was contacted January 31 by an individual who reported that after stopping at the Mini Mart in Grantsburg, he could not find his wallet. The person later received reports from Chase Visa and Indianhead Credit Union, alerting him to possible unauthorized use of credit cards he had in that wallet. The complaint stated some attempted transactions occurred in Lino Lakes, Minn. The transactions were denied and the individual using the card then tried to obtain cash using the card as a debit card.

Grantsburg Police Officers conducted a followup investigation and obtained receipts as well as surveillance footage from Burnett Dairy in Grantsburg, where on January 31 one of the cards had been used to purchase items. Based on that surveillance footage, officers were able to identify the suspect in question as Peltier. Last Wednesday, March 15, the Burnett County District Attorney’s Office filed criminal charges against Peltier and issued a warrant for his arrest. Public records show Peltier was incarcerated in February 2016 in Anoka County Jail regarding “Felony Possession of Burglary or Theft Tools.” Later in 2016 he was convicted in Minnesota Criminal Court for “Felony Fleeing” and “Felony Possession of Marijuana.” Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jonathan James Peltier should contact the Grantsburg Police Department at (715) 463-2405 or Burnett County Sheriff’s Office at 715-349-2128. Do not attempt to apprehend this individual.

Locals attend state tourism conference BY HARRIET RICE SENTINEL

MADISON—“Tell me a story; don’t sell me a destination.” That’s what actor, adventurer and award-winning travel writer Andrew McCarthy urged 900 attendees at the 2017 Wisconsin Governor’s Conference on Tourism March 12-14 in Milwaukee. Listening closely were eight conferees representing Burnett and Polk counties. McCarthy was one of several educational speakers who covered subjects ranging from the philosophical to the technical. The most frequently heard tourism buzzwords were “place-making, experiences, life-changing, storytelling, economic impact, trends, connections,” and “generational mentorship.” Keynote speakers included Governor Scott Walker, Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefish and Department of Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett. Kleefish noted that $1 invested in tourism brings an $8 return on investment. Small business is 60 - 80 percent of job creation. And, Wisconsin is #4 of all U-Haul’s inbound destinations. Klett presented a summary of the economic impact of tourism and the arts: $535 million income, more than 42,000 jobs and $1.5 billion in tax revenue. Attendees also got a preview of two summer “Travel Wisconsin” television advertisements that feature family vacation scenes like a cell phone left on a table indoors as kids race outdoors to the lake. She went on to explain that “generational mentorship” means how older relatives and friends introduce children and young people to places, activities and experiences that, in turn, are passed on and repeated year after year. “A ‘sense of place’ refers to the flavor and substance of a destination along with the kindness and attitude of the people visitors connect with,” she said, adding, “Quality of life cannot be outsourced.” “It’s all about how you treat people that makes them want to come back,” commented Chuck Anderson,

Other session topics were digital media, advertising, economics, cybersecurity and advocacy. “The conference was a wonderful opportunity for like-minded people to connect with one another all around the state in the field of tourism,” said Colleen Foxwell, director of the Polk County Information Center in St. Croix Falls who attended with her husband, Allan. “The speakers were inspirational and the breakout sessions were a way to learn new ideas.” “I got some really good ideas for marketing,” said Sue Smedegard of Danbury and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs. Three members of the Burnett County Tourism Coalition board were in the group: Chuck Anderson, vice president; Nancy Herman, secretary, and Harriet Rice, at-large-member. The Polk County Tourism Council was represented by William Johnson, president, and Roxanne White, secretary. In his remarks at the awards dinner gala, Governor Walker emphasized, “It’s not just about the fun; it’s about the feelings – like a Wisconsin hug. It’s our people that bring folks back.”

March is known not only for St. Patrick’s Day and wearing green, it is also about “eating green” since March is National Nutrition Month. It’s not just about eating a certain amount of veggies, fruits and grains. Here’s how you can put your best effort forward and make healthier choices. Yes, life’s short, so eat the cake. But remember, food fuels our bodies, not our emotions. Eat clean 80 percent of the time and indulge only 20 percent. For example, if you eat three meals a day, three of those meals per week are your 20 percent “cheat meals.” It is difficult to eat healthy 100 percent of the time because your body may feel deprived and will want you to indulge eventually. So, this is how to eat using a 80/20 lifestyle. How to enjoy more fruits and vegetables • Stock your freezer with fruits and veggies. • Buy fresh, cut and prepare them immediately. • Fill up your salads, sandwiches and even your pizza with extra veggies! Eating on the run Make it easier by having healthy snacks such as beef jerky, almonds, apples, bananas, crackers, hummus with veggies and string cheese available in your purse, back pack, desk and/or vehicle so you aren’t tempted by unhealthy foods. Use a crockpot to have supper ready when you get home so you aren’t tempted to go through the drive-through, order-out or stop at a gas station. Plus, the more you plan your meals, the less money you will spend. Eating on a budget • Plan what you’re going to eat. • Decide how much to make. • Shop for foods in season or try canned or frozen foods. •Watch portion sizes. • Make your own healthy snacks. • Cook more, eat out less. Keep it simple Grab a rotisserie chicken. Day 1: Chicken, veggies and rice. Day 2: Chicken wild rice soup. Day 3: Leftovers. Day 4: Cook a roast in the crockpot with potatoes and carrots. Day 5: Roast beef sandwiches. Day 6: Leftovers. “Healthy Minute” is from healthyburnettnettt.org

Invasive ﬂying carp Outdoor burning permits now required found in St. Croix River

PRESCOTT, Wis. — The invasive silver carp which is known to fly out of the water as motorboats pass by, has been found for the first time in the St. Croix River, the Minnesota DNR reported last week. DNR invasive fish coordinator Nick Frohnauer said, “This news is disappointing but not unexpected.” The MN DNR confirmed the capture by a commercial angler who was working at the time with a DNR fisheries biologist. The carp was 33 inches long and weighed 13 pounds and was caught at the confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers meet. Going back to 2011, state and federal conservation officials suspected the presence of the silver carp in the St. Croix as well as the Mississippi. The silver carp is a variety of the Asian carp which have been making their way slowly north in the Illinois River and Mississippi River. Frohnauer told The Minneapolis Star Tribune that while the DNR is concerned about the potential impact of invasive carp in the St. Croix, these specific captures do not indicate reproduction or an established population of either bighead or silver carp in the river. “The location where the carp were captured is a well-known overwintering area for several species of fish,” Frohnauer said. “At this time, it is hard to predict if these individuals would have moved further upstream in the St. Croix River, or back into the Mississippi River when water temperatures warm up in the spring.” Videos have been online for years showing silver carp flying out of the water and landing in boats and striking their occupants. One video alone has been viewed nearly six million times showing two boaters ambushed by silver carp along the Wabasha River in Indiana. Minnesota boaters “shouldn’t fret too much” that the same flying frenzy is imminent on this state’s rivers and lakes, said John Waters, a DNR fisheries specialist told the Star Tribune. “We haven’t seen any jumping silver carp” in Minnesota, and the chances of that phenomenon happening in the state are “real low right now,” Waters said. “Usually, we see them jump in areas where there are a lot of them.” Discoveries so far in Minnesota have been just one or two at a time. To prevent the spread of various unwanted carp, the DNR’s invasive species program has partnered with state and federal agencies, conservation groups, university researchers and commercial businesses. While no breeding populations have been detected in Minnesota waters, individual invasive carp have been caught in the Mississippi near the Twin Cities, the St. Croix River and the Minnesota River. Various breeds of invasive carp, native to China, were brought here to cleanse algae from fish farms and sewage treatment ponds in the South. They have been progressing upstream since escaping into the Mississippi River amid flooding in the 1970s. These large fish compete with native species and are a potential threat to recreational boating in every Great Lakes state and Ontario. Electric barriers are set up in the hope of keeping them out of Lake Michigan. Since 2010, more than $388 million has been spent to battle the invasive species — mostly by the federal government. An article in the March 16 Star Tribune was the basis of this story.

SWEET SMELL: Maplewood Road syrup production CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

SUBMITTED

A spile used to collect sap from a maple tree.

of a blustering smoke. Later on, maple syrup will be bottled, poured and enjoyed. On certain mornings, if the wind isn’t bolstering through the branches or rain inhibits labor, Terry Felland (Hudson) and his friends can be seen chopping wood to burn and driving the ATV from tree to tree to collect the sap from each bag. Every tail end of winter for 19 years Felland has set numerous spiles to gather sap from the maple trees. However, he will be the first to say that another was the original master of the Maplewood Road’s syrup production— the late Dick Larson. Larson died earlier this month and his friends are carrying on his tradition. “Dick used to do it down in St. Croix Falls as a kid with his father,” said Felland. After Larson settled in Granstburg and realized he had access to many Maples, he asked Felland, “Do you want to make syrup?” So the tradition commenced and friends of the two men began to assist in the process, like Jim Morten (Trade Lake), Floyd Drohman (Grantsburg) and Larson’s daughter, Beth (Portage). Tap, gather, preliminary boil, final boil, bottle. These are the core steps involved in the production of Maple syrup, according to Felland. “Ours is the true old-fashioned way,” he said. After the spile, which sits an inch or so inside the bark, has been in placed, the sap will begin to drip into the bags. Currently, Felland and his friends have around 150 spiles situated in 90 to 100 trees on 20 acres of land. They then gather the sap into a large transport container they haul in a Gator every day or two, depend-

ing on how much has been deposited in each bag. They then pour the contents into a holding tank. Multiple pans are located in the hut to hold, at times, 80 gallons of sap from which they boil down into more than two gallons of syrup. The syrup is gathered through a three to four week period. The total number of hours the sap batches boil can exceed 100. The filtering course is similar to that of making coffee on trail. A heavy filter bag is placed over the top of 10 gallon milk cans and the boiled syrup is poured through. But, what must not be forgotten is the extreme attention that’s required during the boiling process. The procedure is heavily monitored and a hydrometer is used to determine when the syrup has arrived at the proper moment to bottle. When the temperature reaches 211 degrees, it is time to bottle. “Don’t ever question it,” said Drohman. “At 211 you’re okay. At 212, it’s candy.” Depending on the season, the color varies— the lighter the sweeter. Felland prefers a deeper amber, smoother syrup. “Either way, it’s something fun to do in the beginning of spring, something that gets us up and moving,” Felland said. In 19 years the group has only burned four batches and has harvested more than 700 gallons. At the beginning and end of each syrup making season, the team sanitizes its containers and tubs thoroughly. They insist on a good tasting, pure sweet treat. Despite the passage of a friend, the crew enjoy their time making Maple syrup. This year, they do it in remembrance of their long-time pal, Dick Larson.

New items to reserve

‘Beauty & The Beast’ Not just a stock fairy-tale glistening with chivalry and love BY SEAN DEVLIN

The remake of Beauty and the Beast is a cut above previous retellings of the classics, not because of live-action; rather, it offers a new look into many, already beloved characters. We feel a new sense of empathy, which is, after all, the most crucial piece in any narrative. While Disney is famous for innovation, I feel it is pretty safe to say that, at times, the Mousketeers rely too heavily on our societies familiarity and love for romances. This time, it seems the director and crew have focussed on more than just rejuvenating the obsession of the 1991 smash-hit and turned their emphasis to storytelling through body language, diversity and, of course, a beautiful set. Belle (Emma Watson) does not simply whisk about on the screen dreaming of the far-off lands in her favorite books. Instead, she walks with a vigor that, for the entirety of the movie, seduces and rejects her ghastly masculine admirer Gaston (Luke Evan). (Don’t worry, you already knew they weren’t getting together). Watson seems to have imbedded her personality into her role and it molds delightfully with our fictional favorite, Belle. What it seems this film is trying to do is broaden the focus of classic fairytales and shed a brief light on the lives that surround the main characters. From Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson), we get a more defined story of the spell that has chided the castle and its inhabitants for so long and we are forced to feel the pain of others, not just that of the Beast (Dan Stevens). It sets us within the walls rather than just hovering above the story as mere spectators. For those appalled by the thought of even attempting a remake, you can be assured that not much has been added at all—save for a song or two. Don’t expect a new storyline because you won’t get it. You already know how it ends. What you will get is a classic story that invites you into the the minds of some of our favorite characters. I recommend it.

BCWC state wrestling qualiﬁers

Burnett County Sentinel selects Boys All-Star Basketball Team As per usual, the Sentinel Sports team, in addition to naming the Burnett County Girls All-Star team, also deliberates and comes up with the Boys All-Star team. Looking at the rosters as they are listed on the Wisconsin Sports Network website, among the 39 players listed for the three schools — Webster, Siren and Grantsburg, only five are seniors. Three of them are on one team. That tells us there are a lot of underclassmen who played this year and will be performing in the next one to three years. They gained a lot of valuable experience while on the court, and the coaches are hoping what they learned will carry over to next year. One coach I spoke to says seniors are role models for the underclassmen and should follow in their steps, both on and off the floor. That said, let’s take a look at the Boys All-Star team which was selected. From Grantsburg, we chose John and Leo, the Chenal brothers. Siren’s choice was Kanaan Christianson and Webster had the duo of Jack Washburn and Trevor Gustafson. Leo Chenal had a field goal percentage of 55.4 percent in 24 games. He was 46 for 101 at the free throw line, and had a total of 220 points for the season. He totaled 168 rebounds, 15 assists, 39 steals and 21 blocks. Brother John had a strong season, not that Leo’s wasn’t strong. John had a field goal percentage of 60.9 percent, making 193 two-point field goals with 95 free throws made. He had 274 total rebounds, 58 assists, 60 steals and 27 blocks. Christianson garnered 44 three-pointers during the season for the Dragons and “will shoot more consistently” next season, says his coach. Washburn averaged 19.8 points per game, had a total of 123 rebounds for an average of 6.9 per game, to go along with 2.7 assists and a total of 57 steals. Gustafson had a 14.3 points per game average with 66 total rebounds (3.8 per game), 2.9 assists and a total of 46 steals. Our Honorable Mention candidates are Riley Churchill, Xander Pinero and Colton denHoed from Siren, along with Brad Sigfrids and Joey Formanek of Webster. Churchill and Pinero were a good one-two punch for the Dragons, one going fearlessly into the lane, while the other shot well from the outside. Pinero had 41 three-pointers on the season. denHoed did both, shooting the three’s and also going for the bucket. Siren should be pretty good next year with a host of underclassmen available. Sigfrids was the “man in the middle” and caused the opposition to change their strategies. He may not have scored a lot, but Brad kept a lot of players from scoring and was vital in rebounding. Formanek was the field general for the Tigers. He’ll be back next year and the Tigers, I think, may be on the prowl. Our players to watch include Austin Wedin, Luke Anderson and Tyrell Brande of the Pirates along with Nathan Kosloski from the Dragons. These underclassmen got considerable playing time this year and will be valuable assets to their teams next year should they have a great offseason and prepare for the 2017-18 campaign. We say “Congratuations” to the players mentioned above as well as their fellow teammates and coaches who supported them throughout the season. Thanks to the parents who have encouraged their young men year round in basketball. We appreciate you, the fans, who come to cheer their teams and players night after night. We sign off with “See you next season!” By Glen Skifstad, Sentinel Sports Writer

Siren Dental Clinic Jon E. Cruz, DDS 24164 State Road 35, Siren, WI 54872 715.349.2297 www.sirendental.com • sirendental@hotmail.com

MADISON — Governor Scott Walker thinks the state Department of Transportation can find savings that will help fend off a predicted “tidal wave” of road projects the state may face in the future. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a memo written for Transportation Secretary Dave Ross in January warns the state will spend hundreds of millions of dollars on temporary repair work in the decades ahead, unless highway reconstruction projects are undertaken soon. Walker’s proposed state budget continues to delay many state projects. When asked Wednesday whether it makes more sense to address long-term highway funding issues in his budget, the governor said the DOT is already looking for cost savings and ways to make projects more efficient. “I think part of it is going to be looking ahead and determining whether there are better ways we can do those projects,” Walker said. “We want to make sure we are using every dollar wisely.” Walker said the state may also need to rethink the need for larger-scale highway expansions as the way people drive changes. He pointed to the possibility of driverless vehicles hitting the roads in the near future, and the fact that millennials are buying and driving fewer vehicles. “Those are all things that we should factor in to future projections,” he said. When asked if he had ever seen a driverless car in Wisconsin, Walker didn’t respond.

Dairy farm wants permit for 10,000 cows

FORESTVILLE — The largest dairy farm in Door County is making plans to eventually milk 10,000 cows. S & S Jerseyland Dairy near Forestville is asking the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to renew its permit for the operation, which currently has about 6,400 cows. Jerseyland general manager Randy Schmidt says it’s asking the DNR for a permit that will allow the farm to expand to more than 10,000 cows in the years ahead. WLUK-TV says many of the 100 people attending a public hearing Thursday expressed concern about the environment, spreading cow manure and possible groundwater contamination. Schmidt says the operation contributes to the local economy, through taxes and payroll and is a good steward of the land. The DNR is expected to make a decision on the permit next month.

Pence dismisses town hall criticism during Wisconsin stop

JANESVILLE(AP) — Vice President Mike Pence joined House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday in his Wisconsin hometown, promising during an invite-only speech that a replacement plan for the Affordable Care Act would come within days while dismissing recent protests at Republican town halls by people opposed to repealing it. “Despite the best efforts of some activists at some town halls around the country, the American people know Obamacare has failed and Obamacare must go,” Pence told about 350 employees of Blain Supply at the company headquarters in Janesville. About 50 protesters jeered Pence and Ryan from across the street, waving a large flag that said “Resist,” echoing similar protests they each faced in separate stops Thursday in Ohio and Rhode Island. Ryan is working with House Republicans and the Trump administration on a repeal and replacement plan for the health care law. Pence said Trump and Ryan have a close partnership that will benefit Americans “for generations to come.” Pence, Ryan, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson also held an invite-only listening session with eight invited farmers and local business owners before taking a tour of the distribution center. Reporters were ushered out of the listening session after opening comments.

Webster man murdered in Tucson, AZ

TUSCON, Ariz. – A website called TuscsonNewsNow.com reports a Webster native was found murdered Monday evening, March 13, at his apartment in Tuscon. The website says Mitchell Smith, 46, was discovered by authorities after Smith’s life-alert device went off just before 11 p.m. A man described as “an associate” of Smith’s, 48-year-old Scott Baucom, was arrested shortly after an investigation began that evening. Baucom faces charges of first-degree murder and armed robbery in connection with Smith’s death.

Tucson firefighters called police after finding Smith deceased at his apartment, with obvious signs of trauma. Authorities said Smith lived alone. Smith was a quadriplegic, stemming from injuries in a June 1988 car accident in the Town of Meenon, when he was 17 years old. He was the son of Mary Ellen and the late Clay Smith of Webster. The celebration of Smith’s life has been set for 2 p.m. Saturday, April 8, at Sweeney’s Bar on County Road FF.

One gift with many blessings

Pastor Dale VanDeusen Trade River Evangelical Free Church

Our church is one of many churches which participate in Operation Christmas Child each year. We take boxes about big enough to fit in a pair of shoes and pack each one with essentials like a toothbrush and toothpaste, and a wash cloth and soap. Maybe some socks are included, some school supplies, toys and hard candy. Then these boxes are wrapped and eventually given to boys and girls from ages 2-14 in the neediest parts of the world. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun doing something that can mean

so much and have a positive effect in many lives. Imagine a child who receives one gift box, but finds inside a bunch of helpful and enjoyable blessings! This reminds me of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas gift to us in Christ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.â&#x20AC;? (John 3:16) Jesus said â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is eternal life, that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.â&#x20AC;? Eternal life means we can know the only true God, have peace with God, become

St. Paddy’s Day — Yellow Lake style Folks bundled up in their best and brightest green and braved the cold on Friday afternoon for Yellow Lake’s annual St. Paddy’s Day Parade. Participants enjoyed everything from green beer to mini donuts as they made their way from tavern to tavern around the Yellow Lake area.

STACY COY | SENTINEL

Above, Chuck Anderson, owner of the 10th Hole Bar, raised his glass in cheers while riding upon a ﬂoat during the annual parade. Judy Dreier of Danbury (left) showed off her lucky Grandma shirt along with the rest of her Irish green.

When public notices reach the public, everyone benefits. Some officials want to move notices from newspapers to government-run websites, where they may not be easily found.

Parade participants were festive and enjoyed every kind of ride, from trailers with cozy picnic tables to a high ride atop a ﬁre truck. At left, bowlers from the Early Bird league at the Black & Orange in Webster had a ﬂoat in the parade with an open spot for their friend, Dot, who was too sick to enjoy the parade this year.

2 out of 3 U.S. adults read a newspaper in print or online during the week.
