SIREN—A Grantsburg woman will be on probation for three years and will be required to repay the $83,000 she stole from Bethany Lutheran Church of rural Grantsburg following her plea and sentencing in Burnett County Circuit Court last week. Dorothy A. White, 61, was earlier charged with three counts of theft of more than $10,000 from a business setting after embezzling more than $83,000 from the church coffers over the last three years. She had been employed as treasurer at the church. In a plea agreement, White pleaded no contest to one count, while the other two counts were read into the record for sentencing purposes and then dismissed. “This crime has broken trust among our congregation,” Pastor Jay Ticknor lamented during his

A pole barn on the Don Chell farm outside of Grantsburg went up in ﬂames Thursday morning. The exact cause is undetermined, but Grantsburg Fire Chief Derek Zeiler said it was nothing suspicious. The department responded to the blaze after a passerby called it in. “When we got on scene, the building was totally engulfed and partially collapsed,” Zeiler said. “About all we could do was keep it from spreading.” Even though there were no injuries, Chell lost his combine, a boat, a motorhome, a truck, some tractors and other valuables. Mutual aid was provided by both the Siren and Webster Fire Departments.

WEBSTER—The next hurdle in the path of St. Croix Regional Medical Center (SCRMC) opening a satellite clinic in Webster was cleared earlier this year when the

late Wayne King and his wife, Christa, gave the old high school building to the village. When the Webster Grades 5-12 Building opened 14 years ago, the Kings bought the former high school. SEE DONATION, PAGE 7

Fourwinds complex to open Thursday SIREN—It was a mere six months ago that ground was broken for the new Fourwinds Market. Tomorrow (Dec. 15), the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin are pleased to announce the opening of their new complex. In addition to the grocery store, which will double the size from the previous Fourwinds Market, the complex will also include a high-end bottle shop, a gas sta-

tion/convenience store, car wash and fast food restaurant with a drive-through. Mini-storage will also be available onsite. The new retail complex will be open for business at 9 a.m. December 15. A ribbon-cutting ceremony begins at 11 a.m. and will include brief remarks from members of the St. Croix Tribal Council followed by the actual ribbon-cutting at 11:30 a.m. by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

Our bitter-sweet saga continues: I’ve heard it said; “lighting doesn’t strike twice in the same spot.” But I know burglars do! After going through all we did this past week, we got slapped in the face again! We discovered the thief or thieves had come back early Wednesday morning (before we could complete repairs). Bitter: This time they apparently needed a TV, complete with the wall mount, which they ripped right off the wall. Also taken were a few more personal cue sticks with cases. Sweet for them: they should have enough for a couple pool teams! Bitter: for the life of me, I can’t figure out why they took the Zoll

A huge thank you to Judy J., Darlene S., Noriko and Jim K., Joanne F., Vi D., Lois A. and Peter J. for making the Rosettes. Connie Martinson would be proud! Steve and I made the Krumkake. Again, thank you to all who used their talents to make the day a success. Remember, you can drop off used eyeglasses any day for the Lion’s Club and boxtop labels for the school.

Winter is here! The snow is pretty if you don’t have to go out in it. Very cold weather is predicted this week, so everyone dress warm and stay safe. Remember, if Webster Schools are closed, the center will be closed and all activities canceled on those days. The bingo players enjoyed the treats furnished by Joyce. Judy B was the winner of the big pot. We play Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m., so join the fun. No need to call, just come in. Pool and dominoes are played on Thurs-

day at 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come in and join us for any of the activities. I hope everyone has their shopping done. The big day is only two weeks away. I don’t know how that crept up so fast. I hope everyone has been good so you get lots of presents. Don’t forget, he is making a list and checking it twice. Stop in and check out our book selection. They are there for all to enjoy. Take them home, read them, bring them back and get more. Have a cup of coffee while you are here. We also have Wifi so bring your iPad®

Come and check out our center with the beautiful Christmas decorations. The decorating crew consisted of Rose Miller, Diane Norman, Barb Geske and Ralph and Nona Severson. We purchased a new Christmas tree with lights and added many ornaments to the tree. By adding colorful tablecloths, the center looks very festive. The garland in the windows have really added to the beauty. Don’t forget to enjoy free coffee during the month of December. The Siren choir is going to come on December 22 at 10:45 to share Christmas carols with us. If you plan to stay for lunch, please call 715-349-2845. This is a fun time for the seniors and the children seem to enjoy entertaining us. We love when they

come. Lona Faye Root Haskins called to let us know that the General Store and Peggy’s have copies of her book Humble Roots. This would make a great Christmas gift. Lona was raised in Siren, so this book has local interest. Have you been to any of the cookie walks? This is a great way to bake and get a variety of goodies. I always go to some of the church cookie walks. It sure saves time – just a walk around the table and my baking is done! We keep hearing about all this snow which is supposed to be coming, but so far we have been lucky. We have only gotten one inch of snow by December 7, which is

unusual. The 500 winners were Jim Anderson, Dell Kisselhorst, Dave Peterson, Bob Peterson and Marlyce Borchert. Spades winners were Steve Wenthe, Phyllis Peterson, Susie Hughes, Tom Christensen and Doug Harlander. Tom is a new player who just moved to the area from the cities. We hope he will continue to come and play cards.

Merry Christmas to all

Yes, the greeting may be a bit premature but the Burnett County Sentinel staff just had its Christmas party last weekend and I’m still in the glow. We spend so much time together in the business setting, complaining about whatever issues pop up on a given day and always concerned about looming deadlines, we fail to appreciate what we, as individuals, bring to the table. So the core staff, and, in most cases, our significant others, gathered for a meal and some well-deserved fellowship as we reflected on 2016 and look forward to a prosperous new year in 2017. Unlike my Thanksgiving meal, politics were not verboten at the dinner table and we discussed Mr. Seems to Trump and his predilections for which direction he sees the counMe try going. It was difficult not to talk shop Todd Beckmann as that is what we all have in common but it seemed for the most part we were able to steer clear of it for a couple of hours. Yes, there was some of that stilted conversation or forced camaraderie you’ll find when 13 people are forced together in a social situation, but I think as a group we overcame that obstacle handsomely. I may be biased here, but I think the Christmas games we played went a long way toward relieving that awkwardness. The usual game guru on our staff was unable to be there so I offered to fill in. We started with some basic Christmas trivia, with winners getting a small piece of chocolate. What more incentive do you need? The only problem was trying to get our group from shouting out the answers. To try and avoid that situation, I had asked for people to keep their answers to themselves so they wouldn’t give away their guess, and to raise their hand to tell me the correct answer. Well, that direction fell on deaf ears. I mean, it worked for the first question but then I had people hollering their answers which made it difficult to award the chocolate to the deserving winner. Next came the ABCs of Christmas — teams of two, a blank A-to-Z list, and the challenge of writing a themed word on their list and the first pair to finish was declared the winner — and received more chocolate. As emcee, I recited the winning list and despite using the word “quiet” for the letter Q on their list, most of the entries were acceptable. The piece de resistance, in my humble opinion, was the paper plate drawing game. Each contestant was to draw a line on the plate to represent the floor, draw a Christmas tree, topped with a star and a present underneath plus a fireplace with a stocking hanging from the mantel. And the kicker? They had to do the drawing with the plate on their head. Much hilarity ensued when folks were able to view their handiwork and points were given for drawing accuracy, like the stocking actually touching the mantel, to determine the winner. I don’t think the Louvre is holding its collective breath for any of these submissions. Make sure you take time in your busy schedule to appreciate those with whom you work.

The passage of icons A couple of events that occurred in the past week made me keenly aware that we are witnessing the passage of ordinary people that changed our world through their hard work and determination. A week ago, our nation marked the 75th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the incident that forever changed our nation. From the The nation united in a way that Publisher’s had not been seen Desk ever before and truly hasn’t been Tom Stangl seen since. Americans had a single purpose and devoted non-stop energy until the war ended just over four years later. The technological boost realized by the war revolutionized many phases of every-day life, and the GI Bill allowed many veterans to get college educations, paving the way for the expansion of the middle class in the 1950s and 60s. In addition, the roots of the civil rights and women’s movements were firmly planted during the war. Women were forced to enter the workforce and have remained a vital part of our economy. Minorities served with distinction and President Truman signed an executive order in 1948 banning

discrimination in the military. National news accounts of the ceremonies commemorating the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor focused on servicemen who survived the attack and are alive today. The heroes of World War II continue to leave us nearly daily. The millions of men and women that served in uniform in the war are now very old people. I am appreciative of efforts to thank them for their service and record their verbal histories. These veterans were young people thrust into a literal battle for the survival of humanity. Many didn’t return home, those that did understandably didn’t want accolades. They had simply done their job and were glad that the experience was behind them. This week, another World War II veteran, John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth, passed away at the age of 95. After World War II, the United States and its former ally the Soviet Union became involved in a less direct, but just as high stakes conflict — the Cold War. Both sides worked tirelessly to find a way to establish ideological or technological dominance over the other. In October of 1957, the Soviets launched Sputnik 1, the first unmanned satellite to orbit the earth and the opening salvo in the space race. It wasn’t until the end of

January of 1958 that the USA successfully launched Explorer 1, our nation’s first unmanned satellite. In April of 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space and orbit the earth. In May, Alan Shepard became the first American in space. His capsule entered space, but did not achieve orbit. On Feb. 20, 1962, John Glenn orbited the earth three times before splashing down in the Atlantic. After President John F. Kennedy outlined the goal of placing a man on the moon and returning him safely by the end of the 1960s, the space program kicked into high gear, buoyed by the success of Glenn and the other original Mercury 7 astronauts. Thirty-six years later, at the age of 77, he returned to orbit aboard the space shuttle Discovery, becoming the oldest person to fly into space. Glenn also served as a U.S. senator from Ohio.

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. The publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement at any time. The Burnett County Sentinel is published every Wednesday by Sentinel Publications, LLC. USPS No. 080020.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: We (Grantsburg Village Board and pilots/hangar owners) have talked in past meetings how to promote the airport so we can attract more pilots and general public. That is why it is so important that we get the airport hangar lease to be more user-friendly. For instance, the closure clause, lease item #5. We know the board has to try to protect the village interests, but the airport is also in the village interest. We want it to be self-sustaining, but we need to increase the number of airplanes housed there in order to do so. As a pilot and airplane owner, I know what it takes to attract people to the field. We lease ground from the village, then build our hangars on it. But, we also need to know that the airport is going to remain open. We have a large, vested interest in it; ie, our hangars. We pilots at the airport are doing our part in promoting the field. We are maintaining the grass runway, mowing around the main runway and in front of the hangars. That is one of our ways of promoting the field, by giving a good presentation (a maintained field). I offered to do even more of the maintenance to help keep the cost in check. This year we had two events, one in the spring and one in the fall. In the spring, we enlisted the Girl Scouts to help paint the terminal building. For their efforts, they had a chance for an airplane ride if they so wanted. I gave 10 rides that day. It was my time, my plane and my fuel. We are not afraid to spend our money for a worthy cause. The fall event brought more than 50 aircraft to the field throughout the day. The Girl Scouts had a food stand that helped their cause of going to Washington, D.C. More than 40 kids got a ride with the help of our EAA chapter. Please help us with promoting the field, starting with the lease. Tim Thompson St. Croix Falls

Trump’s Carrier deal was no ﬂuke To the Editor: Donald Trump and Carrier recently announced that Carrier will keep about 1,000 jobs in Indiana that were bound for Mexico. He’s making deals, and he’s not even president yet! It’s encouraging that President-elect Trump is ready to take on our nation’s biggest challenges. Our Congressman, Sean Duffy, fights for our values every day. And together with Trump, they will get major reforms done so the people of Wisconsin and around the country can have a better future. Laurie Riemer Siren

An open letter to the Grantsburg Village Board To the Editor: There is never enough time in the meetings to cover airport issues, but the airport is important primarily because it could well be one of the pillars of Grantsburg’s revitalization. We’ve shown its potential for attracting visitors at this year’s fly-in. Rod Kleiss With less than a month’s preparation, we had 50-plus planes fly in and over 40 area kids got free plane rides. This is a unique airport within walking distance Trustee Village of Crex Meadows and a simple of Grantsburg walk, bike-ride, or drive to downtown. Pilots make good customers for our downtown businesses and I believe we can leverage downtown growth by catering to this clientele. By establishing a pilot’s campground there, we can begin to advertise the Grantsburg airport and area as a nature lover’s destination. This will generate money not only for the airport but also for the Village. Another very important value of this airport could be and should be for the education and potential career paths for our children. Aviation provides major employment opportunities. The Aircraft Owner’s and Pilot’s Association (AOPA) has educational programs developed and would be more than willing to work with the Grantsburg School District in integrating such programs here. But some roadblocks to this vision remain. The principal death

blow to this airport’s future is the current lease agreement. The killing lease feature is Paragraph 5: 5. Closure. If for any reason the Grantsburg Municipal Airport is closed, this contract is considered null and void. That single sentence will absolutely stop anyone from considering building or buying a hangar at this airport. A new hangar will cost upward of $50,000. No one in their right mind would invest such a sum given the potential of closure at any time. The second item that a potential tenant must have is assurance that lease rates will be controlled and predictable in years to come. There is no such assurance in the current lease agreement. ARGUMENTS AGAINST KEEPING THE AIRPORT OPEN There really is only one argument for closing the airport — expense. Our village airport has historically been allotted $150,000 per year in airport entitlement dollars. To use this money, the village has only to commit to keep the airport open and operating within the guidelines of the FAA and WI BOA (Bureau of Aeronautics). A few months ago, Keith Gerard of the WI BOA addressed the board and showed us that these requirements are reasonable from both the state and the Feds. They are not onerous controlling dictums. The FAA entitlement does not come from tax dollars. It is allocated from the FAA trust fund, whose source is from aviation fees and primarily aviation fuel taxes. The village has given away this entitlement money for the past dozen years to Burnett County which has received a total of $900,000 from Grantsburg to date. They are certainly not appreciative of this largess. After having received all

of that money from Grantsburg, they refuse to reciprocate even in the tiniest bit of funding our library more than the absolute minimum that the government requires. In effect, Grantsburg gave away the pilot’s money for absolutely no benefit to the village. THE WAY FORWARD Presuming that we can put our heads together and come up with a lease that is fair to pilots and will encourage airport hangar development, we need to find a way forward that includes utilizing the pilot’s FAA entitlement dollars. This money will pay for 95 percent of airport related maintenance and construction. We still need to come up with the extra five percent. Going forward, the airport could be defined as self-supporting. I would recommend putting together an airport board or committee that is charged in its bylaws not to approach the village for any airport upkeep. This board would have the authority to set rents and earn money. They would have the obligation to make the airport self-supporting. It’s as simple as that, and I believe it could work well. Grantsburg’s future is really at stake right now. This board’s approach to the airport is just one of the many issues we will have to address to revitalize Grantsburg. Much of that momentum has already been lost with the departure of Nicky Peterson and Alyssa Rumpel from their leadership positions. The village should pick up this baton and make revitalization happen. If not, we can’t stay the way we are now. We either grow or fade. The choice is definitely ours.

Recount doesn’t alter result BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—It cost Burnett County $15,000 to learn Donald Trump received two fewer votes and Hillary Clinton received one additional vote than what was reported in November. That is the takeaway from the recount of the 2016 Presidential race. “It is very frustrating to take these public servants away from their jobs while knowing the concerns of why the recount was initiated in the first place wouldn’t be validated,” Burnett County Clerk Wanda Hinrichs said following the end of the recount effort last week. “Had it been a 300-vote difference and actually warranted a recount, it would have been a different matter,” a clearly frustrated Hinrichs added. Burnett County’s Board of Canvassers, 10 tabulators and at least one security person counted all day Friday, all day Monday and

finished on Tuesday, to discover only five errors out of 8,000-plus votes cast. “The mistakes which were found, basically inadvertent miscounts, were only on paper ballots — that is to say absentee ballots and in-person paper ballots,” Hinrichs explained. “The machines, ever since we have been using them, have been 100 percent accurate.” She said that even though the Jill Stein campaign is responsible for paying for the recount, as her campaign is the party who requested the recount, Hinrichs said it is almost as if taxpayers were bearing the cost. “It was three days that the county clerk, the deputy clerk and the other public employees involved in the recount were not doing their regular jobs,” she concluded. Statewide, the results of the recount mirrored Burnett County. Wisconsin Elections Commission Chair Mark Thomsen certified results of the presidential

election following a 10-day recount process, confirming Republican Donald J. Trump the winner in Wisconsin. “Completing this recount was a challenge, but the real winners are the voters,” said Thomsen. “Based on the recount, they can have confidence that Wisconsin’s election results accurately reflect the will of the people, regardless of whether they are counted by hand or by machine. The commission thanks all those involved in the recount for their hard work and dedication.” Donald Trump received 1,405,284 votes in the recount compared to 1,404,440 in the original canvass. Hillary Clinton received 1,382,536 votes in the recount compared to 1,381,823 in the recount. The original margin between the top two candidates was 22,617 votes. After the recount, the margin is 22,748. After the recount, Trump’s margin over Clinton increased by just 131 votes.

victim impact statement. “It has had a detrimental effect — it takes a long time to get that trust back.” That’s why the biggest issue in the disposition of the case is the church getting it’s money back. “My client is remorseful and if she had the means, she’d repay it all today,” Dave Grindell, White’s attorney, noted. “We are going to establish a minimum payment of $500 per month to start to repay that restitution.” Grindell said, in addition to the minimum payment, he fashioned a unique assurance for ultimate payment of the restitution. “A part of the agreement is that Ms. White will carry a $100,000 life insurance policy with the church as the beneficiary,” District Attorney Bill Norine reported. “So, the restitution will be repaid.” Norine said the state is doing what it can to get the money repaid. “The church doesn’t have deep

pockets. This money comes from the parishioners of the church,” he reported. “It was certainly a breach of trust.” In addition to the $83,350.78 she must repay, one of the stipulations of her probation is that she complete the counseling for her gambling addiction. In the early stages of this case, White told authorities she began taking money to cover some personal bills, but then she began to

use the money to gamble. At one point, she admitted to having a gambling problem. “She was very forthcoming when the officer interviewed her,” Grindell argued. He said the crime is an anomaly in White’s life. “She doesn’t have a criminal record,” he told the court. “She blames her gambling addiction.” For her part, White regrets the whole situation. “There’s no excuse for what I did and I want Pastor Jay to know how sorry I am,” she told the court. “You will get your money back, even if I have to work until I’m 90.” The judge was satisfied with the agreement. “This was a blatant breach of trust — you victimized a church and its parishioners,” Reserve Judge Michael Lucci told White. “Your lawyer argued for probation, but a theft of this dimension could have resulted in confinement.”

Is it time to talk ‘new jail?’

SIREN—Well, it only took two years of his administration, but Sheriff Ron Wilhelm finally uttered that four-letter word no one wants to hear — jail. He said maybe it was time to start thinking about building a new facility. “Our out-of-county inmate housing is a tremendous expense on our taxpayers,” Wilhelm lamented during his appearance at December’s Burnett County Public Safety Committee meeting. “Our own jail is completely full and we have a steady flow of about 15 inmates a day who are residing in jail in neighboring counties.” At $40 per day per inmate for that housing, plus the expense of initially transporting them to that facility, plus the expense of transporting them back-and-forth to Burnett County for their court appearances, it doesn’t take long for the costs to add up. “I don’t have an answer to what’s going on,” the sheriff continued. “People are doing things that bring them to us.” Wilhelm conceded a correlation between methamphetamine use and jail overpopulation. “I’ve heard treatment is cheaper than incarceration,” committee member Gene Olson pointed out. “Maybe we need to get these people into treatment instead of putting them in jail.” Wilhelm liked the sound of that, but admitted Restorative Justice, Burnett County’s Health and Human Services Department and AODA services were already being pushed beyond a manageable level. “It’s not the kids. It’s the adults who are the users and the kids pick it up at home. It’s learned behavior,” Wilhelm concluded. “Anything we can do to steer kids away from that kind of life will help.” by Todd Beckmann, Sentinel

WISCONSIN BRIEFING Drivers must not follow snowplows too closely

MADISON—Because snowplows are built primarily for power – not agility – they usually need plenty of room to do their job. “Most of the crashes involving snowplows and other vehicles occur when the snowplow is rear-ended,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Northwest Region Captain Nick Wanink. “Snowplows may have to slow down or stop suddenly if they encounter an obstacle, like a stuck or stalled vehicle. When visibility is poor, you might not see the snowplow’s taillights until it’s too late. To avoid rear-end collisions, you have to pay attention, slow down and maintain the legally required distance from the rear of the snowplow.” According to state law, while driving on a highway with a posted speed limit of more than 35 mph, you must not get closer than 200 feet from the rear of a snowplow that is engaged in snow and ice removal, including plowing, salting and sanding. If the road has a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less, you must maintain a following distance of at least 75 feet. A citation for violating this law costs $175.30 with three demerit points assessed on the driver’s license. A second or subsequent offense within a year costs $213.10 with three demerit points. In addition, if you approach an oncoming snowplow on a two-lane road, it’s wise to slow down and proceed with caution because the snow blowing from the plow may limit your visibility. “With their power and size, snowplows can clear paths for vehicles even in the most extreme weather conditions,” says Captain Wanink. “In return, you can help snowplow drivers perform their jobs safely and efficiently by giving them room to maneuver.”

DONATION: Clinic to be built on former school site CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“It was used for winter storage for boats, cars and that kind of thing,” Webster Village President Jeff Roberts remarked. “I believe they used the space for overflow storage for Wayne’s grocery store as well.” Not wanting to continue the building’s maintenance and upkeep, the couple donated the school and tennis court property. “It was very forward-thinking on their part,” Roberts observed. It’s been an ongoing issue for almost two years. “I think Wayne didn’t want an eyesore when people first come to town,” he continued. “And, with the clinic wanting to build, the village had a use for the space.” To that end, the village plans to demolish the former school. “There is a pre-bid meeting on Dec. 15. Bids are due by Dec. 22 and the bid will be awarded Dec. 28,” Roberts explained. “Once the bid is awarded and all the paperwork is finalized, demolition can begin. I’m not anticipating

anything happening until after the first of the year.” With a building more than 80 years old, lead paint and asbestos are the two main concerns when it comes to razing the building. “MSA Professional Services is doing an environmental impact study of the site. We do know there is asbestos,” Roberts remarked.

“They have warned potentials bidders of the find.” In fact, in the bid advertisement, the village warned potential bidders that the asbestos must be removed and disposed per state regulations. The cost of the demolition was initially projected at $800,000. “By bidding the project in the winter, we were hoping the bids would be more competitive,” Roberts noted. “We’ll see.” Regardless, the village has secured a Community Development Block Grant to help. “The grant will cover about half the cost,” Roberts said. “Plus, SCRMC will contribute to the demolition.” He sees a new clinic on the horizon by the end of 2018. “When the demo is all said and done, the village will be giving that property to SCRMC for a new clinic,” Roberts concluded. “Depending on the demolition schedule, I’m sure they’ll begin construction in 2017, but it probably won’t be in service until 2018.”

GRANTSBURG —Grantsburg Village President Glenn Rolloff announced at Monday’s village board meeting that he will not seek another term as village president when his term expires in April. Rolloff said he plans to run instead for one of three trustee positions that will come up for election in April. Rolloff has served as village president since April 2013. Rolloff said he would like to stay on the board as a trustee to help complete projects started during his tenure as president. He cited an increasing workload as Quality Control Manager at Parker Hannifin Corporation of Grantsburg as the reason for not seeking another term as village president. None of the six trustees expressed an interest in running for village president. Trustee Diane Barton said she will seek another two-year term. Trustees Larry Ebersold and Rod Kleiss, whose terms also expire in April, did not reveal their plans. Rolloff was appointed to an open trustee position in April of 2008. He was elected village president in 2013 and re-elected in 2015. Barton was elected trustee in April of 2013 and re-elected in 2015. Kleiss was appointed to an open trustee position in May of 2013 and elected to a second term in 2015. Larry Ebersold was elected as a trustee in 2015.

Furnace Humidifier Benefits When you run the furnace during the winter, the air in your home dries out quickly. Dry air can damage the wood in your home and cause health complications for your family. You can remedy the problem by installing a furnace humidifier. A furnace humidifier raises the humidity level in your entire home. “Room” humidifiers are not able to control humidity levels as precisely as furnace humidifiers do. A quality furnace humidifier will have a built-in humidistat that lets you set the level of humidification you desire. Dry air is bad, but too much humidity is not good either. Excess humidity can cause your wood to warp and encourages the growth of mold and mildew. Breathing bad air can cause the airways to dry out, which can aggravate the symptoms of asthma or other respiratory disorders. One thing you can do to improve the air quality in your home is to install a furnace humidifier. Humidity can help keep respiratory secretions thin, soothe sore throats, and help ease coughs. It is easy to forget how important the air in your home is to the health of your family and longevity of your home. Furnace humidifiers offer many benefits and you’ll be pleased to say good-bye to dry winter skin and scratchy throats once and for all. When shopping for a furnace humidifier, look for a rotary brush model that does not use sponges that can cause mold and bacteria to multiply. These humidifiers even work well with hard water. Choose a humidifier that has an output that equals the square footage of your home and is energy efficient, so you save money on operating costs. Also, be sure to keep a maintenance schedule on your furnace, humidifier, water heater & softener to ensure your systems are running as efficiently as possible and remain free of contaminants.

Battling zebra mussels in Big McKenzie BY TODD BECKMANN SENTINEL

SIREN—For years, stewards of the clean lakes in Burnett County and the rest of northwest Wisconsin were battling Eurasian Water Milfoil, an aquatic invasive specie, threatening to take over the lakes. Having control of EWM in hand, zebra mussels are now the newest threat. In fact, the Department of Natural Resources reported the specie had found its way into Big McKenzie Lake earlier this year. “Big McKenzie Lake is the first lake in the 12-county northwest region to report a zebra mussel infestation,” Pam Toshner, a lake biologist for the DNR, told the county’s natural resource committee last week. She said three were located on a pier on the south side of the lake while six were located on a boat lift almost directly across the lake. The mussels were collected and sent to Madison to be analyzed. “The mussels are estimated to be less than a year old,” she reasoned. “So it is possible the specie was just introduced during the 2016 boating season.” With the bulk of the boating traffic coming from the Twin Cities and southern Wisconsin, where there’s a higher concentration of the zebra mussels, that finding doesn’t really surprise her. “Visitors really don’t have a clue the lakes in Burnett County are aquatic invasive specie-free ,” she pointed out. The same analysis indicated veligers, mussel larvae, were not present. “It could mean the zebra mussels are not reproducing,” Toshner explained. “A single mussel can have up to a million veligers over its lifetime.” That piece of the report was good news. “The veliger is what really concerns us,” Ferris added. The primary question may be “Why are zebra mussels so toxic for a lake?” The main effect a zebra mussel invasion has on an ecosystem is a restructuring of the food web — moving production from the open waters of a lake down to the bottom. Zebra mussels are amazingly effective filter feeders and they essentially suck all of the phytoplankton and algae (or tiny plants) out of the water column. These tiny plants are important food for zooplankton (tiny crustaceans) that are, in turn, crucial to the diet of a lot of little fish. Which, of course, are then eaten by bigger fish. This reduction in plankton leads to dramatic changes in water quality — but it comes at a cost. By pulling food down to the bottom and excreting waste, zebra mussels concentrate nutrients at the bottom of a lake. And, since the water is then clearer, sunlight filters down further. This leads to an explosion of algae and aquatic plant growth — a 170 percent increase according to one study. Getting people to realize the problem is half the battle.“Public education on the threat the zebra mussel

presents is going to be critical,” Toshner said. She said that responsibility will fall to the management team which will oversee the effort to combat the invasive specie. While the Clean Boats, Clean Water campaign has helped keep aquatic invasive species (AIS) out of the county’s lakes, the initial thought to combat more of the specie was to build a boat wash station at the public landing on Big McKenzie. “It would be good idea but the launch area is too small,” Toshner lamented. So with a zebra mussel infestation, the next logical question is “What do we do?” In addition to the work of the Clean Boats Clean Wa-

ter campaign and its inherent watercraft inspection, Toshner said clean boater hygiene is crucial. “Boaters need to know what to look for, to not transport live bait in lake water from lake-to-lake, and checking equipment, boat and trailer as they leave one lake and before they launch into a second lake,” she advised. Obviously, the invasion is new to Burnett County and the powers that be are unsure exactly how to handle the situation. “It looks like we need to get a decontamination unit — basically a hot water pressure washer on a trailer that would be used to clean AIS from boats and trailers,” Ferris remarked. “If we order it now, we should be able to get it in time for spring and use these winter months to further develop a plan on how to use it.” Ferris said the McKenzie Lake Association has said it is willing to contribute funding toward such a unit. “Heat and pressure can kill zebra mussels,” Ferris pointed out. He said winter wasn’t an issue as far as the invasive goes. “The veligers die off and the zebra mussels don’t move much — they’re in deeper water,” he added. The committee authorized Ferris to research the decon unit and buy the one he believes appropriate. Toshner said the highest population of the zebra mussel is in the southeast portion of the state. But she said an analysis of the region has identified other Burnett County waters as susceptible to a zebra mussel infestation, including Yellow, Little Yellow, Clam, Long, Lippsett, Rice and Benoit Lakes and Yellow River. “Is there a common thread among those waters?” member Gene Olson inquired. Ferris said the analysis is based on water chemistry — basically the calcium content. Toshner agreed. “Middle McKenzie Lake has better water chemistry and would normally not be susceptible to an infestation,” she said. “But because the lakes are connected and the mussels are being constantly introduced, chances are good that Middle McKenzie will get zebra mussels.”

From shouts to progress on Grantsburg Airport BY STEVE BRIGGS SENTINEL

GRANTSBURG—After the shouting, gavel-pounding and village president’s threat to have the police chief expel a trustee from the meeting, things finally calmed down Monday night at the Grantsburg Village Board meeting. Eventually, all parties to the kerfuffle reached an accord and moved the process forward. When the meeting adjourned, at least two board members had private, positive words of conciliation to mend their fences. As Village President Glenn Rolloff stated, the Grantsburg Municipal Airport has been the most discussed topic at village board meetings in 2016. Tempers often flare during the airport discussions. Again on Monday night, all the board members agreed they want the airport to stay open. Disagreements arise when they discuss the hangar lease, whether to accept state and federal funds, and how the airport should be operated. Trustee Rod Kleiss, the most vocal airport advocate, purchased an airplane recently and signed a lease on a hangar at the Grantsburg Airport. He did so, he said, out of his love of aviation and also his belief that the local airport is

key to Grantsburg’s revitalization, especially downtown Grantsburg. Rolloff saw Kleiss’ hangar lease differently, and spoke to the village’s attorney. The attorney issued an opinion that Kleiss’ investment in the airport hangar represented a conflict of interest with his (Kleisses) position on the board. The attorney said Kleiss should not only recuse himself from airport-related votes, but must also quit participating in airport discussions. Kleiss, who has a history of expounding and occasionally lecturing his fellow board members on airport matters, sometimes for 30 minutes or more, took umbrage to Rolloff and the village attorney’s position and said he would not be muzzled. When Kleiss continued to speak on the airport after Rolloff declared the matter closed, Rolloff raised his voice and Kleiss followed. Rolloff struck his gavel three times sharply, stood and directed Village Police Chief Jeff Schinzing to escort Kleiss from the building. At that point, Kleiss stopped speaking and relented. He left the chambers to make a phone call about it, later returning to the meeting. Kleiss and other pilots strongly object to the Lease Clause #5, which allows the village to close the airport for financial reasons

on short notice. The pilots say they won’t invest money in hangars if the clause remains. Over many months, the village attorney has revised Clause #5 three times, but the changes have not appeased the pilots. The most recent proposed change to Clause 5 now reads, “5. No Arbitrary Closure. Being committed to a viable Airport, the Village will not arbitrarily close the Grantsburg Airport. If for financial reasons the Airport closes, this lease shall be null and void without liability to the village.” The pilots claim Grantsburg is the only municipal airport in the area to have a closure clause, and its presence in the lease keeps away pilots who might otherwise house their planes in Grantsburg Airport hangars. The attorney insists the clause remain in the contract to protect the village’s interests. Rolloff says it’s not right to pay an attorney and then ignore his advice. Private pilot Scott Hanson asked to join the discussion from the audience. He and Kleiss suggested bringing the pilots’ group into the process by meeting with the board, and Rolloff and other board members agreed. The meeting between the pilots and board’s Property Committee will occur at an unspecified date after the board’s January 9 regular meeting.

Obesity weighs on Wisconsinites

MADISON—Obesity A SO Ob i rates among Wisconsin adults are higher than previously reported for the state. According to findings from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW), a population-based health examination survey, 39.4 percent of Wisconsin adults are obese. The state’s obesity rate is 4.5 percent higher than the national average obesity rate of 34.9 percent. Obesity rates are higher in persons who are older, poor, less educated, minorities or who live in a community with high economic hardship. The prior estimate of 31 percent for Wisconsin was based on phone surveys and self-reported height and weight.

hi iis one off the h findings di This reported in the latest issue of the WMJ, a publication of the Wisconsin Medical Society. The publication features findings from studies led by researchers at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health and its Obesity Prevention Initiative; the studies focus on a range of issues related to obesity and obesity prevention in Wisconsin. “This is a concerning finding,” says Dr. Patrick Remington, associate dean of public health at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health.

Operation Christmas Child 2016

GRANTSBURGâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Operation Christmas Child is one way people can visibly express Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love to children living in needy areas overseas. Individuals and congregations pack shoeboxes with essentials like a toothbrush, toothpaste, a wash cloth and soap. Other items such as socks, school supplies, toys, hard candy and more are included. These shoeboxes are collected and taken to one of several regional processing centers in the U.S. A group of people from several area churches went to the Samaritanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purse Operation Christmas Child Processing Center in Eagan, Minn., on Thursday morning, Dec. 1. After signing in and receiving a bit of orientation training, groups wait their turn to be assigned to one of the 20 assembly line stations, where the shoeboxes are packed into cartons. Pallets of cartons containing the shoeboxes will be shipped to children in needy areas overseas. Children receiving a shoebox also have the opportunity to hear about Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love in Jesus Christ and participate in followup classes. Most of the Minneapolis Center boxes this year were being sent to children of several African nations. At the assembly stations, volunteers inspect the contents of each box for ease of entry through customs. Then each shoebox is taped shut and packed into cartons. Donors can request that their shoeboxes be tracked. An email will inform donors just where their shoebox gift was sent. Once a carton is filled with boxes, the cartons are taped and loaded onto pallets and placed in shipping containers. The cartons will eventually be taken to designated gatherings of children. Operation Christmas Child staff and local volunteers will personally distribute boxes to children. A massive bulletin board wall contains pictures of children. During our lunch break we were invited to â&#x20AC;&#x153;take a child to lunch.â&#x20AC;? We took a photo of a child and wrote a prayer for the child on the back of their photo, and reposted it on the wall. Prayer for the children and the box gifts is stressed. There are many amazing stories of children receiving just exactly what they needed or wanted. One girl needing a pair of shoes received a pair just exactly her size. Another boy wanting a blue button-down shirt opened his box and there was his shirt! A child receiving one shoe box receives many blessings! Donors who give and volunteers who work at the Center discover the truth that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is more blessed to give than to receive!â&#x20AC;? Samaritanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purse is a Christian relief organization run by Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham.

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

Spook (pictured) and Boo are three-month-old male kittens who came in together. Ironically, Twix (pictured) and Tootsie are also three-month-old female kittens, and they came in together. We are thinking that these four strays are brothers and sisters – maybe just rescued at different times. All four are black with a touch of white. Of the girls, Twix came right up to me and climbed onto my shoulder, while Tootsie stayed back and watched. It’s not that Tootsie isn’t friendly, it’s that Twix sort of monopolized the situation. One Spook of the girls got an adoption application while I was visiting Friday, so we may be down to one still available from the girls. The boys really love hanging out in their hammock. And I literally mean “hanging out.” You’ll find them tangled and entwined on the small hammock, with legs and heads dangling off the edges – yet still looking Twix like cool dudes. Both boys share a love for visitors. They will both greet you at the door, but only if you open the door to their cage. Otherwise, they feel it is too much work to get down from their hammock for someone that may or may not actually pet them. All four of these kittens are adorable and would be a wonderful addition to any family. Update: The last of the Wizard of Oz kittens that I fostered has been adopted. Theodora has left the building. Rollo is settling in at the shelter and his favorite place to hang out, unfortunately, is his litter box. I brought his favorite cat bed from my house to the shelter in the hopes that he will trade places. Stay tuned. He is a little shy yet, but still loves attention once you give him that initial touch. If you are interested in adopting Spook, Boo, Twix, Tootsie, or another animal from our shelter, please visit our website at www.hsburnettcty.org or contact the shelter at (716) 866-4096. The Humane Society of Burnett County is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We do not receive financial assistance from the county. Donations of money or supplies are tax-deductible.

DANBURY—In spite of the snowfall across much of Wisconsin in recent days, the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) wants to remind riders that most snowmobile trails in the state are not yet open. The majority of the snowmobile trails in the state are located on private property, and without the generosity of these thousands of landowners, the Wisconsin snowmobile trail system would not be possible. Riding on them when they are not open, or riding off the marked trail, is trespassing and dangerous. You can also be fined. To find out what trails are open, contact a local club or visit the AWSC website at www. awsc.org and click on WI Trails. Even though the snow may look inviting, the warm weather we have experienced most of the fall has left many areas not frozen. Before the trails can be open for use, the ground under the snow needs

to be frozen to allow for crossing wet areas. Adequate snow is necessary to protect the ground under the trail and, in some cases, crops under the snow. Once trails are opened, be aware they will be in early season condition with possible hazards under the snow, so it is recommended to ride with caution. Please stay off lakes until there is enough ice to carry a snowmobile. Snowmobilers should never ride on any lakes or rivers without checking with the locals about whether the ice is safe. Almost all of the snowmobile trails in the state are maintained by the volunteer members of snowmobile clubs. They are responsible for getting permission from landowners, brushing, signing and preparing the trails for winter use, along with grooming the trails to make them smooth and safe. The snowmobile program, which is administered by the DNR, provides

the funding that reimburses clubs for the expenses incurred. These funds come from the registration and trail pass fees that snowmobilers pay, along with gas tax on some of the gas used by snowmobiles which makes it a user funded program. Before heading out, make sure your sled has a current registration and 2017 trail pass. For more information, go to the DNR website at www.dnr. wi.gov. The AWSC consists of more than 600 snowmobile clubs from across Wisconsin. These clubs and their nearly 40,000 volunteer members are responsible for developing and maintaining the over 22,000 miles of snowmobile trails for public use, which contributes millions of dollars in economic impact to the state’s winter economy. For more information or to find a club to join, go to the AWSC website at www.awsc.org .

Jarchow urges support in returning wolf management back to states BY JESSICA DE LA CRUZ EDITOR@THEAMERYFREEPRESS.COM

MADISON—The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has deemed a healthy Wisconsin gray wolf population to number around 350 animals. While the gray wolf remains on the federally managed endangered species list nationwide, and struggled in many areas of the country, Wisconsin’s wolf population has escalated to nearly three times that number. The way many legislators see it, a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work for the wolf. Although the Obama Administration’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had at one time returned control of

the gray wolf population back to the states, which were successfully managing the wolf population for several years, a Federal judge stepped in and overturned the decision. “The judge determined the population hadn’t recovered because the interpretation was that it had to recover to its full historic range, including states like Arkansas where there’s no chance of that happening,” says Wisconsin Assemble Rep. Adam Jarchow. Federal legislation has been introduced by Wisconsin Representative Reid Ribble and Senator Ron Johnson, with the assistance of Minnesota’s Democratic Congressman Collin Peterson, that would remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Wyoming, and return the responsibility of population management to each state’s respective agencies. Jarchow says that during the few recent years that the state had control of the population, wolves were managed closely in Wisconsin to great success. “A season is only open until that specific goal is met, and then the season closes,” Jarchow explains. “As I understand the federal legislation, it would only go back to state management so long as the states properly manage the population. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would have the authority to relist the wolf if necessary.” In a formal statement on the matter released by Wisconsin Representatives Adam Jarchow and Senator

Tom Tiffany, who represent many agricultural and tourism-based businesses in northern Wisconsin, call on Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin to support what they see as a bipartisan issue, and help pass this legislation quickly. “It is now time for Senator Tammy Baldwin to step forward and offer leadership on the Democratic-side of the aisle just as Senator John Tester (D-MT) did out West,” they say. “We understand this is an uncomfortable issue for Senator Baldwin because of her home in Madison. However, she was elected to represent the entire state, and we encourage her to take a bold step to heed the will of the people who are most affected by the runaway wolf population – rural Wisconsinites. “Nearly 200 concerned citizens attended the Great Lakes Wolf Summit held in September in Cumberland and proved that delisting of the gray wolf is a bipartisan issue. While we can all agree that the wolf has a place on the landscape, Wisconsin should not be a wolf sanctuary. Senator Baldwin has the opportunity to help reduce the number of tragic losses of family pets and livestock lost to an out-of-control wolf population in Wisconsin. In the past, Wisconsin has proven to be capable of managing our wolf population and now is the time to return control to the states.” Senator Baldwin was asked to comment on her position on the matter, but had not responded as of publication time.

A. Dry skin is especially common in the

Dr. Vesna winter months. When the humidity level Radivojevic outside drops and the air outside is cold and dry, the water in your skin evaporates more quickly making your skin feel dry and tight. Remember to cover up your skin when you are outside, regularly apply moisturizing lotion, and stay hydrated. Furthermore, dry indoor air not only dries out your skin, but it also leads to dry, chapped lips, dry noses (nosebleeds), and dry throat (hoarseness, sore throat). Using a humidifier at night will replace the moisture in the air that gets sucked out by dry indoor heat. The humidifier helps hydrate dry skin and soothes chapped lips, dry throat, and nasal passages. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

By listing now you also beat the rush & flood of sellers listing in the spring. * More Serious Buyers: buyers searching now tend to be more experienced in the market & ready to buy, than buyers just beginning their search in the spring. * Quicker Turnaround: Listings & Offers have quicker response, due in part to related professional’s having more time available to focus on you. 651-308-2221 jeanlundgren@gmail.com jeanlundgren.com

Q. How can I help my child eat more

healthy foods and create a healthy lifestyle?

Sarah Motl Teaching children healthy habits when they are young is the best way to help them Registered Dietician become healthy adults. The first way to encourage healthy eating is to model healthy eating yourself, make it a family lifestyle. Provide many healthy options for your child to choose from when they are hungry such as pre-washed and cut fruits and vegetables, whole grain crackers and dip, and string cheese. Placing the healthy foods within easy reach on the counters and in the fridge makes it easy to choose the healthy foods. It is important to avoid making certain foods “forbidden” as that can result in your child overeating when that food is offered. Remember that creating new habits takes time and it may take 8-15 “tastes” of a new food before your child knows if they like it or not. 257 W St George Ave Grantsburg, WI 54840 (715) 463-5353 Visit us at: www.burnettmedicalcenter.com

These ligaments tell the brain how hard we are biting down and act as protection so we don’t crack our teeth on hard foods by biting too hard. When we clench and grind, the ligaments get irritated from the excessive force.

Young Dragons tough against Saints BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

ST. CROIX FALLS—“We’re really young. We’re pretty inexperienced,” said Coach Jon Ruud following the Dragons 65-51 loss to St. Croix Falls last Tuesday night. “Both games we’ve played it looked as if we could play, and there’s time we look pretty young. “We have good energy; we’re just learning to play together and it’ll take some time.” The Dragons kept up with the Saints in the first half, trailing by just four at the intermission 36-32. Alex Johnson had 13 for the Saints. Riley Churchill led the Siren brigade with seven. Nathan Kosloski and Keenan Christiansen added six apiece. Sequoia Bellanger had four with Silas Vasatka and Xander Pinero chipping in with three and Steven Pruitt with two. Johnson continued with his hot hand in the second half as he put in 16. Just two other Saints scored in that frame.

For the Dragons, Kosloski had six, Churchill five, Pruitt three, Max Lundquist and Vasatka two apiece with Tanner Lee getting a free throw. Churchill and Kosloski finished the game with 12 points apiece to lead the Dragon scoring. “It’ll take 10-12 games for the team to figure out who they are,”

continued the coach. “We’re getting there and it’s still early, and there will still be some growing pains. “We’re excited about the potential here and we’re trying to put it all together. I’m excited and really positive. Right now, everything is just tough for us.”

WEBSTER—“If there were positive moments, they were few and far in between,” commented Webster boys coach Rob Scherer following the 72-49 defeat at the hands of the Luck Cardinals on Friday night. “We’re just struggling in all aspects of the game. On the offensive side of the ball, we turned it over too much. On the defensive side, we don’t guard especially when we’re one-on-one and we don’t rebound very well.” “On the transition, we don’t get down the court. We’re just not consistent enough. We have to make some changes some place.” Luck had a 33-21 advantage at halftime. Bryce Hacker led the Cardinals with 17 points. For the Tigers, both Jack Washburn and Trevor Gustafson had nine. Washburn finished the game with 19 points. Gustafson had 15. Frank DeBlase and Nathan Stadler each chipped in with four. Coleton Peterson and Caleb Pardun tallied two apiece and Harlo Olson had a free throw. Hacker had 30 to lead the Cardinals.

FREDERIC—“I’d like to say we won the game on the offensive end, but defensively we did a lot of things well that led to good offensive possessions,” Grantsburg Pirates Head Coach Nick Hallberg said after the Pirates defeated the Frederic Vikings 81-52 on Friday night to bring their record to 3-1 on the season, and 2-0 in conference play. The Pirates played a tight defense all night which caused the Vikings to turn the ball over, and the Pirates took advantage of every opportunity to put points on the board. Grantsburg outscored Frederic 44-23 in the first half, with John Chenal leading the way with 18 hard fought points from down low. He had six baskets to go along with six free throws. Luke Anderson was on fire, hitting three three-pointers for nine first-half points. Leo Chenal tallied six followed by Austin Wedin with five and Joseph Ohnstad with four. Austin Olson rounded out the scoring with two. It was an aggressive game with both teams racking up the fouls sending players to the foul line. Grantsburg had 26 fouls while

along with two buckets and three free throws for a second-half total of 13. He ended his night with 22 points. Olson tallied four points followed by Tyrell Brande with three and Leo Chenal and Wedin with two each. “John and Luke did a great job of finishing plays on offense, but truly a total team effort,” Hallberg said. “We need to keep the momentum.”

FREDERIC—The Grantsburg Pirates girls basketball team had four players score in double digits Friday night on their way to a 62-14 rout over the Frederic Vikings. The Vikings have no seniors on their team this year and are definitely in a rebuilding year. The Pirates took full advantage of the Vikings’ lack of experience and cruised to an easy win, to bring their record to 4-0 for the season. Tymber King led the Pirates in scoring in the first half as she owned the paint, pulling down rebounds and shooting over her opponents as her teammates fed her the ball. She tallied eight points this half. Cassidy Lee and Jordyn McKenzie were close behind her with seven points each. Both hit a three-pointer, a two-point bucket, and two from the charity stripe.

Rhiana Pochman was next with four points and freshman Brooke Quimby got into the scorebook with a one-or-two trip to the line. The Pirate defense frustrated the Vikings, and they were able to put up only one shot while on offense as the Pirates dominated the

boards and pulled down rebounds. Grantsburg led 27-9 at the break and headed to the locker room with a commanding lead. The second half was much of the same with the Pirates racking up 35 points while holding the Vikings to just five. Lee led the charge this half with 12 points. She hit three of her four three-pointers in this half. McKenzie hit a couple of three’s herself along with two free throws for eight points. Pochman had eight as well this half. Cassidy Chenal hit two buckets to go along with a one -for-two trip to the line for a total of five points. King tallied two points in the second half. Lee was high scorer with 19. McKenzie had 15, Pochman, 12 and King 10 to round out the double digit scorers. The win puts the Pirates on top of the West Lakeland standings with three conference wins.

GRANTSBURG—The Webster Tigers traveled to Grantsburg on Tuesday, December 6 to face an undefeated Pirates squad. The Pirates’ experience proved to be too much for the Tigers, as the Pirates collected a 60-31 win. The Pirates outscored the Tigers 35-9 in the first half behind the hot hand of Cassidy Lee who recorded 16 first-half points, including two three-pointers. Tymber King owned the paint as she put up 10 points from the low post position. Sophomore Olivia Brock got her first varsity start and showed her tenacity around the bucket, putting back a rebound and going two-for-two at the foul line. Jordyn McKenzie hit a big three-pointer, and Rhiana Pochman had a twopoint bucket. For the Tigers, it was Makenna Buffington leading her team with six first-half points.

Rhiana Pochman and Kayla Glover had two points each, and Olivia Brock was one-for-two from the foul line. “Our two shooting guards, Cassidy Lee and Jordyn McKenzie kept us in the game with some great streaky outside shooting,” Curtin added. “Rhiana Pochman got into some foul trouble early, and when she came out in the first half we struggled to get any rebounds. “She came back in the second half and dominated the defensive boards and created a bunch of turnovers. “Amery has a nice, solid squad and our girls played hard. We just didn’t execute properly for the entire game.”

Lady Blizzard show promise in loss BY GLEN SKIFSTAD SENTINEL SPORTS

SILVER BAY—We had a great start and played very well. Our goaltender made some great saves, our offense did their jobs and our defense were very strong in front of the net... the first period,” said Blizzard Girls Hockey Coach Rick Quimby. “We relaxed in the second and North Shore (Silver Bay) poured it on! We were stunned by a couple quick goals in the second on some misreads and it made the differ-

ence. It took us until the third period to start to get back in the game, but it was too little too late.” North Shore started the scoring in the first period at 5:46, but the Blizzard came back with two of their own. Jaden Denotter scored at 12:51 unassisted, and then Maddy Hall got one across the line for a goal at 13:55. She was assisted by Olivia Hall and Gretchen Lee. NS-SB knotted the score at two just before the end of the period. As Coach Quimby stated, North Shore poured it on in period two.

They scored six times in the second frame to take an 8-2 lead into the second intermission. The Blizzard got two in return in the last period. Savannah Trittelwitz and Denotter both scored with assists going to Mackenzie once and Makayla Johnson twice. “A very winnable game slipped through our fingers on Saturday,” lamented Coach Quimby. “Hopefully, we turn things around for Tuesday at Cumberland and Thursday vs. Chippewa Falls.”

Gymnasts second at Snowﬂake Invite

CHIPPEWA FALLS— “We had a great start to the meet, scoring a 32.25 in vaulting for our JV with freshman Karissa Strohschein getting our the first eight of the season scoring an 8.30,” said an excited gymnastics coach Kathy Lund of the Grantsburg-Luck-Unity team, following their second-place finish at the Invitational in Chippewa Falls on Saturday. “The varsity scored 34.00 with Gracie Gerber leading with a score of 8.8 placing third followed by Kaylee Hol scoring an 8.6 placing fifth. We had some ups and downs on the uneven bars and the balance beam, a few falls on bars and a total of 14 falls on beam, but a much better start this year compared to the 13 falls we had last year with just the varsity. “Gracie was solid on the bars scoring an 8.675 placing second, Kaylee scoring an 8.5 placing fifth and Morgan Pfaff scored an 8.225 placing seventh. “On the beam, it was Karissa Strohschein that got the first ‘stick routine,’ placing third with a 7.45 on JV. Holly Fiedler placed first in JV with a 7.80 ‘stick routine.’ Kaylee Hol was the only varsity with a no-fall, placing third with a score of 8.725.” “With the beam jitters behind us, we finished on the floor exercise scoring a 33.85. Kaylee Hol finished the meet in third in the All-Around with a score of 34.25.

I told them they should be motivated for rematches later in the year.” “Brad Lucas, at 152, ran into a guy that did a move we haven’t worked on in practice, but he hung in there to avoid a pin.

GRANTSBURG—The Grantsburg Pirates hosted the Webster Tigers on Tuesday, December 6 and came away with their first conference win of the young season, 63-31. “We played good defense, did enough on offense early and played hard,” Pirates Coach Nick Hallberg said. The Pirates took an early lead, outscoring the Tigers 33-16 in the first half of play. John Chenal led the way as he powered his way to the hoop, scoring 12 first half points for the Pirates. Leo Chenal was next with six, followed closely by Joseph Ohnstad with five. Luke Anderson and Austin Olson both recorded four and Austin Wedin rounded out the first-half scoring with two. For the Tigers, it was Jack Washburn leading the charge with five first-half points. Brad Sigfrids and Frankie DeBlase had four each. Harlo Olson fought hard in the paint for a bucket and two points, and Trevor Gustafson was one for two from the line to end the scoring for Webster. The second half was almost identical in scoring with the Pirates taking this one 30-15. But the future looks bright for a young, determined Tigers squad. They are scrappy and don’t go down without a fight. Washburn was the leading scorer for the Tigers again this half with seven, making him the top scorer for his team on the night with 12. Gustafson was two for two at the line to go along with a bucket for four second-half points. Joey Formanek got on the board with two points, with DeBlase equaling that to end the scoring. John Chenal led the Pirates with eight to make him the game’s high scorer with 20. Anderson and Wedin were right there, each scoring seven this half.

It is great to have the numbers this season. Scoring is very tight among the gymnasts, which gives us flexibility within the lineup to put together a stronger team.”

Hunter Sellent and Matthew Louis had fourth place finishes.

ASKOV CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS Just west of Askov on Hwy. 23

We recently came across John the Baptistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calls for repentance in our readings for Advent. Some in our church probably wondered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is John the Baptist doing in the middle of my Christmas story?â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit his presence during Advent seems kind of strange on first blush. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen John the Baptist in a nativity scene and probably for good reason. The wild, oddly dressed, locust-eating man in the wilderness crying out with a shout, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Repent, the time is now to turn towards Godâ&#x20AC;? makes for a pretty stark contrast to the

serene scene around the manger. And yet only two Gospels, Matthew and Luke, tell the Christmas story, while John the Baptist appears in all four books. This tells me that repentance is a bigger part of the Advent season than we might first realize. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to keep focused on Christ in the midst of all the commercialism that now goes along with Christmas, but that means that we really need to get our hands dirty spiritually and turn to God.
